A University of lowa (UI) study found teenagers are far more sensitive than adults to the immediate effect or reward of their behaviors. The findings may help explain why the initial rush of texting may be more attractive for adolescents than the long-term pay off of studying.“For the teenager, the rewards are attractive.” says Professor Jatin Vaidya, an author of the study. “They draw adolescent. Sometimes, the rewards are a kind of motivation for them. Even when a behavior is no longer in a teenager’s best interest to continue, they will, because the effect of the reward is st ill there and lasts much longer in adolescents than in adults.”For parents, that means limiting distraction (分心的事情) so teenagers can make better choices. Take the homework and social media dilemma: At 9 p.m., shut off everything except a computer that has no access to Facebook or Twitter, the researchers advise. “I’m not saying they shouldn’t be allowed access to technology,” Vaidya says. But some help in netting their concentration is necessary for them so they can develop those impulse-control skills. ‘‘In their study, Vaidya and co-author Shaun Vecera note researchers generally believe teenagers are impulsive (冲动的), make bad decisions, and engage in risky behavior because the frontal lobes (额叶) of their brains are not fully developed. But the UI researchers wondered whether something more fundamental was going on with adolescents to cause behaviors independent of higher-level reasoning.“We wanted to try to understand the brain’s reward system how it change from childhood to a-dulthood,” Says Vaidya, wh o adds the reward character in the human brain is easier than decision-making. “We’ve been trying to understand the reward process in adolescence and whether there is more to adolescence behavior than an under-developed frontal lobe,” he adds. For their study, the researchers persuaded 40 adolescents, aged 13 and 16, and 40 adults, aged 20 and 35 to participate.In the future, researchers hope to look into the psychological and neurological (神经学上的) aspects of their results.24. What does the passage mainly tell us?A. The initial rush of texting is less attractive for adolescents than the long-term pay off of studying.B. Always, rewards are attractive to teenagers.C. Resistance can be controlled well by adolescents.D. Getting rewards is the greatest motivation for adolescents to study.25. Which statement agrees with Vaidya’s idea?A. The influence of the reward is weak in adolescents.B. Parents should help children in making decisions.C. Children should have access to the Internet.D. Children need help in refocusing their attention.26. What result does teenagers’ brain underdevelopment lead to?A. Doing things after some thought.B. Making good decisions.C. Joining in dangerous actions.D. Escaping risky behavior.27. How did the researchers carry out their study?A. By making a comparison of brain examinations.B. By examining adults’ brain.C. By examining teenagers’ brain.D. By building the brain’s reward system.C“Birds” and “airports” are two words that, paired together, don’t normally pain t the most har-monious picture. So it really raises some eyebrows when China announces plans to build an airport that is for birds.Described as the world’s first-ever bird airport, the proposed Lingang Bird Sanctuary (保护区) in the northern coastal city of Tianjin is, of course, not an actual airport. Rather, it’s a wetland pre-serve specifically designed to accommodate hundreds—even thousands—of daily takeoffs and landings by birds traveling along the East Asian-Australasian Flyway. Over 50 species of migratory (迁徙的) water birds, some endangered, will stop and feed at the protected sanctuary before continuing their long journey along the flyway.Located on a former landfill site, the 150-acre airport is also open to human travelers. (Half a million visitors are expected annually.) However, instead of duty-free shopping, the main attraction for non-egg-laying creatures at Tianjin’s newest airport w ill be a green-roofed education and research center, a series of raised “observation platforms” and a network of scenic walking and cycling paths totaling over 4 miles.“The proposed Bird Airport will be a globally significant sanctuary for endangered migr atory bird species, while providing new green lungs for the city of Tianjin.” Adrian McGregor of an Aus-tralian landscape architecture firm explained of the design. Frequently blanketed in smog so thick that it has shut down real airports, Tianjin is a city—China’s fourth most populous—that would cer-tainly benefit from a new pair of healthy green lungs.28. The underlined phrase “non-egg-laying creatures” in Paragraph 3 refers to?A. Designers.B. Visitors.C. Endangered water birds.D. Planes.29. What do we know about the airport according to the passage?A. It functions as an actual airport and a wetland preserve.B. It is located on a 150-acre landfill site.C. It provides migratory birds with food and shelter.D. People cannot watch birds up close here.30. What can we infer from the last paragraph?A. Tianjin’s air quality will improve thanks to the airport.B. Tianjin will win worldwide fame in the future.C. The airport will become a permanent home for birds.D. Tianjin will be able to accommodate more people.31. What is this passage mainly about?A. Airports shut down and open up.B. Airports turn into green lungs.C. China is to open the first Bird Airport.D. Birds are no longer enemies to airports.DTeenagers who check social media for several hours a day are at the risk of developing ADHD (多动症), a study has concluded.The research team, from the University of Southern California, tracked 2,600 teenagers aged 15 and 16. They asked them how many times they checked their phones and other digital devices for various reasons, and then monitored them for symptoms of ADHD. After two years, those who had checked their phones the most often were twice as likely as those who checked the least often to show signs of ADHD.Writing in the JAMA medical journ al, the scientists said, “Modern media devices immediately inform users when new text messages, social media postings, or videogame play invitations arrive.Exposure to such information may draw attention away from important tasks. Frequent distraction cou ld interrupt the development of constant attention and organization skills.”They believe constant access to instant entertainment also has an impact. Researcher Professor Adam Leventhal said all previous research had focused on the link between ADHD and televisions. “What’s new is that previous studies on this topic were done many years ago, when social media, mobile phones, tablets and mobile apps didn’t exist. We can say with confidence that teens who are exposed to higher levels of digital media are significantly more likely to develop ADHD symptoms in the future,” he said.Leventhal believes the findings help fill a gap in understanding how new mobile media devices and seemingly limitless content pose a mental health risk for children. And the findings serve as a warning.British scientists welcomed the findings. But Professor Andy Przybylski of the Oxford Internet Institute said, “The study relies on survey responses provided by the students in question. It is not clear if teachers or parents would rate the children similarly or if the self-reported measure of digital screen use is related with either actual behavior or higher quality survey items.”32. How did the researchers conduct the study?A. By monitoring 2,600 teenagers with ADHD.B. By tracking the participants for two years.C. By analyzing data from previous researches online.D. By controlling different teens’ time spent on social media.33. What does Leventhal think of the exposure to higher levels of digital media?A. It will cause diverse ADHD symptoms.B. It will create higher ADHD risks.C. It will weaken teenagers’ confidence.D. It will have a major influence on organization skills.34. What does Professor Andy Przybylski think of the study?A. It provides a better understanding of the media.B. It should have focused on parents’ responses.C. Its findings are not reliable enough.D. It’s a breakthrough in this field.35. What can be a suitable title for the text?A. The use of digital media is on the riseB. Teens are increasingly exposed to ADHDC. Heavy use of social media may increase ADHD risksD. Teens’ exposure to modern media calls more attention第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5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 study of a university in Shanghai had found that many of the students there are using a quote（引语）from the Italian poet Dante as a kind of motto. The study of Fudan University, one of China’s top universities, of 489 students, found that 82 had chosen Dante’s “Follow your own path and don’t worry about what others say” as their motto, out of 278 people who said they had a motto. This was followed by “Believe yourself” and “Self-improvement without stop.”Students also expressed a common hope for greater understanding and care and said they were always ready to give a hand to those in need.Some researchers think that mottoes can play an important par t in children’s growth and they say that a good motto can help children develop a better character.1.The study shows _________.A．which university should have mottoesB．what poems are popularC．how many students like the motto “Believe yourself.”D．the majority of the students like to choose their favorite mottoes2.Of the students asked, _______ students have mottoes.A．about 78% B．about 57% C．about 16% D．about 8%3.The motto “Self-improvement without stop” shares the similar meaning with ______.A．going on to improve rapidlyB．growing by oneself continuouslyC．making oneself better and perfect continuouslyD．becoming better without having a break4.The best title for the passage should be _______.A．Mottoes and Character Developing B．Students and PoetC．Mottoes and Learning D．Understanding CareBOnce upon a time a man became a great archer(射手)．He asked the king to declare him as the greatest archer of the country．The king was about to do so when an old servant of the king said，“Wait，sir．I know an old man who lives in the forest．He is a much greater archer．Let this young man go to him and learn from him for at least three years．”The man could not believe that there could be a greater archer than him，but he went and found the old man and he was! For three years he learned from him．Then one day，when he thought he had learned everything，the thought arose in him：“If I kill this old man，then I will be the greatest archer．”The old man had gone to cut wood and he was coming back carrying wood on his shoulder．The young man hid behind a tree，waiting to kill him．He shot an arrow．The old man took a small piece of wood and threw it．It struck the arrow and the arrow turned back and wounded the young man very deeply．The old man came，took out the arrow and said, “I knew that some day or other you were going to do this．That’s why I have not taught you this secret．There is no need to kill me．My Master is still alive，and I’m nothing before him．You must be with him for at least thirty years．And he is very old，so go fast!

And 15 of the 18 awards went to students from China.170 students’ task: to get a fully-designed blog up and running, complete with many postings based on a theme of choice—all written in Chinese.Themes ranged from local opinions－such as the usage of Singlish, education and whether Singapore can be a cultural centre－to food blogs.The entries were judged on Language proficiency（熟练程度）and the quality of writing, as well as the design and level of exchanging ideas with readers.Academics(学者) from the National University of Singapore and the SIM University IT experts, and a journalist from Chinese newspaper Lianhe Zaobao in Singapore made up the judges.In the end, only three Singaporean students made it to the award list—the rest of the awards were swept up by students from China.“No surprise,” said Mr. Chow Yaw Long, 37, teachers in charge from Innova Junior College, which organized the event. “Although the topics were local subjects, the foreign students were generally better in terms of the content of the posts and theirgrasp of the Chinese language. ”One of the three local students winning the first prize in the Best Language Award was blogger Christina Gao 19, from the Saint Andrew’s Junior College, who spared no effort in researching for and writing her blog. Each entry took her between five and seven days to produce, complete with pictures and even podcasts(播客).Her advice for bloggers is: Be responsible(负责任的).“Some bloggers out there only seek to blame(责备) the authorities and other bloggers.” Said Miss Gao. “I think they lack responsibilities and there is no value to their posts.”9.

The passage is mainly about ___________.A. how Chinese students won the awards in the competitionB. why bloggers should take responsibility for their blogsC. what the result of the competition wasD. how Miss Gao won the first prize in the competitionDWhen I asked my daughter which item she would keep; the phone, the car, the cooker, the computer, the TV, or her boyfriend, she said“the phone”. Personally, I could do without the phone entirely, which makes me unusual. Because the telephone is changing our lives more than any other piece of technology.Point 1 The telephone creates the need to communicate, in the same way that more roads create more traffic. My daughter comes home from school at 4:00 pm and then spends an hour on the phone talking to the very people she has been at school with all day. If the phone did not exist, would she have anything to talk about?Point 2 The mobile phone means that we are never alone. “The mobile saved my life,”says Crystal Johnstone. She had an accident in her V olvo on th e A45 between Otley and Skipton. Trapped inside, she managed to make the call that brought the ambulance(救护车) to her rescue.Point 3 The mobile removes our secret. It allows marketing manager of Haba Deutsch, Carl Nicolaisen, to ring his sales staff all round the world at and time of day to ask where they are , where they are going, and how their last meeting went.Point 4 The telephone separates us. Antonella Bramante in Rome says, “We worked in separate offices but I could see him through the window. It was easy to get his number. We were so near——but we didn’t meet for the first two weeks!”Point 5 The telephone allows us to reach out beyond our own lives. Today we can talk to several complete strangers simultaneously ( 同时地) on chat lines (at least my daughter does. I wouldn’t know what to talk about). We can talk across the world. We can even talk to astronauts (if you know any) while they’re space-walking. And, with the phone line hooked up to the computer, we can access(进入) the Internet, the biggest library on Earth.13.How do you understand‘Point 1 —The telephone creates the need to communicate,6…’？15. Which points do you think support the idea that phones improve people’s life? Point 1. b. Point2. c. Point3. d. Point 4. e. Point 5.A. c, dB. a, eC. a, cD. b, e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New York visit would be most favorite experience of your. 16 New York is just the place for you and your partner to spent some of the greatest days of your life .Whether it is the Empire State Building or the Statue of Liberty ,you can do a lot to keep yourself suitably yet interestingly engaged during your honeymoon in New York.When on your honeymoon the best way to while away your time is by shopping 17 .Going to the famous or even to the Broadway can be a good idea if both of you take a keen interest in new things.If a romantic getaway is what you prefer then take your partner to the Arthur Ross Terrace and Garden that can be perfect romantic place to get away from the crowd. 18 New York City has some of the best restaurants in the word serving great food and in some cases great music , too, comes along with it.There are some restaurants like Chumley’s ,Manhattan Diner and Doyers Vietnamese Restaurant that are not well know but offer platters.19 You can choose from a number of great hotels that include The Ritz Carlton and The Waldorf Astoria .

Reading prehensionSection ADirections: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.Because conflict and disagreements are part of all close relationships, couples need to learn strategies for managing conflict in a healthy and constructive way. Some couples just__50__ and deny the presence of any conflict in a relationship. __51__ ,denying the existence of conflict results in couples _52___ to solve their problems at early__53__ ,which can then lead to even greater problems later on .Not surprisingly, expressing anger and disagreement leads to lower marital (婚姻的)satisfaction at the beginning. However, this pattern of behavior _54___ increases in marital satisfaction over time. Research suggests that working through conflicts is an important predictor of marital satisfaction.So, what can you do to manage conflict in your own relationships? First, try to understand the other person’s point of view__55__ put yourself in his of her place. People who are _56___ to what their partner thinks and feels _57___ greater relationship satisfaction. For example, researchers found that among people in dating relationships 58____ marriages, those who can adopt their partner’s perspective show more positive emotions, more relationship-enhancing attributes and more constructive responses _59___ conflict.Second, because conflict and disagreements are an __60__ part of close relationships，people need to be able to apologize to their partner for wrongdoing and __61__ forgiveness from their partners for their own acts. Apologies minimize conflict, lead to forgiveness, and serve to restore relationship closeness. In line withthis view, spouses（配偶）who are more forgiving show higher mental quality over time. Increasingly, apologizing can even have _62___ health benefits. For example, when people reflect on hurtful __63__ and grudges(怨恨)，they show negative physiological(生理的) effects, including __64__ heart rate and blood pressure, pared to when they reflect on sympathetic perspective-taking and forgiving.50.

For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.AAnne Whitney, a sophomore (大学二年级学生) at Colorado State University, first had a problem taking tests when she began college. "I was always well prepared for my tests. Sometimes I studied for weeks before a test. Yet I would go in to take the test, only to find I could not answer the questions correctly. I would blank out because of nervousness and fear. I couldn't think of the answer. My low grades on the tests did not show what I knew to the teacher. “Another student in biology had similar experiences. He said, "My first chemistry test was very difficult. Then, on the second test, I sat down to take it, and I was so nervous that I was shaking. My hands were moving up and down so quickly that it was hard to hold my pencil. I knew the material and I knew the answers. Yet I couldn't even write them down!"These two young students were experiencing something called test anxiety. Because a student worries and is uneasy about a test, his or her mind does not work as well as it usually does. The student cannot write or think clearly because of the extreme tension and nervousness. Contrary to people’s mon belief that poor grades are often a result of poor study habits, sometimes test anxiety plays a role in students’ achieving low grades. Recently, test anxiety has been recognized as a real problem, not just an excuse or a false explanation of lazy students.Special university advising courses try to help students. In these courses, advisors try to help students by teaching them how to manage test anxiety. At some universities, students take tests to measure their anxiety. If the tests show their anxiety is high, the students can take short courses to help them deal with their tensions. These courses teach students how to relax their bodies. Students are trained to bee calm in very tense situations. By controlling their nervousness, they can let their minds work at ease. Learned information then es out without difficulty on a test.An expert at the University of California explains, " With almost all students, relaxation and less stress are felt after taking our program. Most of them experience better control during their tests. Almost all have some improvement. With some, the improvement is very great. "65. To "blank out" is probably______.A. to be like a blanketB. to be sure of an answerC. to be unable to think clearlyD. to show knowledge to the teacher66. Poor grades are usually believed to be the result of______.A. poor sleeping habitB. lazinessC. test anxietyD. inability to form good study habits67. Test anxiety has been recognized as______.A. an excuse for lazinessB. the result of poor study habitsC. a real problemD. something that cannot be changed68. A University of California advisor said______.A. all students could overe the anxiety after taking a special test anxiety programB. almost all students felt less stress after taking a University of California advising courseC. students found it difficult to improve even though they had taken a specialtest anxiety courseD. students found it easy to relax as soon as they entered a University ofCalifornia advising course69．If you want to join Live Card to save money on tickets, you can call .A.0844 847 2484B.0800 587 5007C.0844 499 6699D.0161 245 660970．How can you pay for a ticket when you book by post?A.

By providing your credit card information.71．What benefit can group bookers enjoy according to the text?A. Delayed payment for tickets.B. Invitations to opening nights.C. Reduced booking fees by phoneD. Generous discounts on tickets.CPeople are being lured (引诱)onto Facebook with the promise of a fun, free service without realizing they’re paying for it by giving up large amounts of personal information. Facebook then attempts to make money by selling their data to advertisers that want to send targeted messages.Most Facebook users don’t realize this is happening. Even if they know what the pany is up to, they still have no idea what they’re p aying for Facebook because people don’t really know what their personal data is worth.The biggest problem, however, is that the pany keeps changing the rules. Early on, you keep everything private. That was the great thing about facebook—you could create your own little private network. Last year, the pany changed its privacy rules so that many things—your city, your photo, your friends' names—were set, by default (默认)to be shared with everyone on the Internet.According to Facebook’s vice-president Elliot Schrage, the pany is simply making changes to improve its service, and if people don’t share information, they have a “less satisfying experience”.Some critics think this is more about Facebook looking to make more money. Its original business model，which involved selling ads and putting them at the side of the page，totally failed. Who wants to look at ads when they’re online connecting with their friends?The privacy issue has already landed Facebook in hot water in Washington. In April. Senator Charles Schumer called on Facebook to change its privacy policy. He also urged the Federal Trade mission to set guidelines for social-networking sites.“I think the senator rightly municated that we had not been clear about what the new products were an d how people could choose to use them or not to use them,” Schrage admits.I suspect that whatever Facebook has done so far to invade our privacy, it’s only the beginning, w hich is why I’m considering deactivating(撤销)my account. Facebook is a handy site, b ut I’m upset by the idea that my information is in the hands of people I don’t know. That’s too high a price to pay.72. What do we learn about Facebook from the first paragraph?A. It is a website that sends messages to targeted users.B. It makes money by putting on advertisements.C. It profits by selling its users’ personal data.D. It provides loads of information to its users.73. What does the author say about most Facebook users?A. They are reluctant to give up their personal information.B. They don’t know their personal data enriches Facebook.C. They don’t identify themselves when using the website.D. They care very little about their personal information.74. Why does Senator Charles Schumer propose?A. Setting guidelines for advertising on websites.B. Banning the sharing of users’ personal information.C. Working out regulations for social-networking sites.D. Removing ads from all social-networking sites.75. Why does the author plan to cancel his Facebook account?A. He is dissatisfied with its current service.B. He finds many of its users untrustworthy.C. He doesn’t want his personal data to be used in a wrong way.D. He is upset by its frequent rule changes.Section CDirections:Read the following text and choose the most suitable heading from A-F for each paragraph. There is one extra heading which you do not need.A. Set a Good Example for Your KidsB. Build Your Kids’ Work SkillsC. Place Time Limits on Leisure ActivitiesD. Talk about the Future on a Regular BasisE. Help Kids Develop Strategies of dealing with different thingsF. Help Your Kids Figure Out Who They AreG. Build Your Kids’ Sense of ResponsibilityHow Can a Parent Help?Mothers and fathers can do a lot to ensure a safe landing in early adulthood for their kids. Even if a job’s starting salary seems too small to satisfy an emerging adult’s need for rapid content, the transition from school to work can be less of a setback if the start-up adult is ready for the move. Here are a few measures, drawn from my book Ready or Not, Here Life es, which parents can take to prevent what I call “work-life unreadiness.”76. _________You can start this process when they are 11 or 12. Regularly review their emerging strengths and weaknesses with them and work together on any shortings, like difficulty in municating well or cooperating. Also, identify the kinds of interests they keep ing back to, as these offer clues to the careers that will fit them best.77. ________Kids need a range of real role models. Have regular dinner-table discussions about people the family knows and how they got where they are. Discuss the advantages and disadvantages of your own career and encourage your kids to form some ideas about their own future. When asked what they want to do, they should be discouraged from saying “I have no idea.” They can change their minds 200 times,but having only a foggy view of the future is of little good.78. _______Teachers are responsible for teaching kids how to learn; parents should be responsible for teaching them how to work. Assign responsibilities around the house and make sure homework deadlines are met. Encourage teenagers to take a part-time job. Kids need plenty of practice developing effective organizational skills, such as managing time and setting priorities(优先).79. _________Playing video games encourages immediate content（满足）. And hours of watching TV shows with canned laughter only teaches kids to process information in a passive way. At the same time, listening through earphones to the songs for a long time encourages kids to stay inside instead of participating in other outdoor activities. All these activities can prevent the growth of children’s munication and thinking skills and make it difficult for kids to develop the kind of sustained (持续的) concentration they will need for most jobs.80. _________They should know how to deal with setbacks, stresses and feelings of inadequacy. They should also learn how to solve problems and resolve conflicts, ways to brainstorm and think critically. Discussions at home can help kids practice doing these things and help them apply these skills to everyday life situations.What about the son or daughter who is grown but seems to be struggling and wandering aimlessly through early adulthood? Parents still have a major role to play, but now it is more delicate. Most of all, these new adults must feel that they are respected and supported by a family that appreciates them.Section DDirections:Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or plete the statements in the fewest possible words.Well, to pick up where we left off last time, I believe we agreed that creativity is a mysterious idea. It is those things we all recognize when we see it, but we don’t really understand what it is. We seem to feel that some people are naturally creative, but we don’t know how they got that way. Is creativity a natural gift like good looks, or is it something that can be acquired like knowledge? Perhaps if we analyze the creative process carefully, we might get some insight into what it is and how it might work in our lives. The creative process has always been accepted as the source of all important work in the arts, but we should not think the creativity plays a role only in the arts. Every major scientific discovery began with someone imagining the world tolook differently from the way others saw it. And this is what creativity is all about -- imagining the world in a new way. And despite what you may believe about the limits of your own creative imaginations, we all have the potential to imagine the world in an absolutely new way. In fact, you are born with it. It is your birth right as a human being. And what’s more, you use it every day, almost every moment of your life. Your creative imagination is what you use to make sense of your experiences. (Note: Answer the questions or plete the statements in NO MORE THAN 10 WORDS.)81. What did the speaker most probably discuss last time?__________________________________________________________________ 82. ________________________________ is the widely accepted idea about the creative process.83. ___________________________ leads to major scientific discoveries according to the speaker?84. According to the writer, what is creativity all about?_________________________________________________________________ _______第II卷I.

He is known internationally for not only the many classical pieces he performs but also his willingness to think outside of the box musically.Yo-Yo Ma has recorded over 75 albums; many of them strictly considered classical in arrangement, while others differ greatly from classical music. He’s worked with musicians like Bobby Mcferrin and Sting, and explored musical forms that range from traditional Chinese music to bluegrass. His musical explorations, including the scoring or performance in numerous films, have won Ma many awards and honors.Born to Chinese immigrant parents in Paris in 1955, Yo-Yo Ma was already a gifted musician by the time his family moved to the U.S., when he was seven. One of his first performances where he was much noted was a 1962 performance for U.S. President John F. Kennedy. Ma was certainly a genius, appearing on television by the time he was eight and performing with numerous orchestras through his teens.Like many young extraordinary musicians, Yo-Yo Ma’s educational path included the study at the distinguished Juilliard School of Music. Unlike geniuses that stay on a singular path, Ma felt that he wanted to expand his education by taking a traditional liberal arts course at first Columbia and then Harvard University, where he received his bachelor’s degree in 1976. He wasn’t always certain that he should continue to pursue his career as a cellist, and refers to hearing the work of Pablo Casals, the famous Spanish cellist, as inspiration to continue his studies and performance.By the early 1980s, Yo-Yo Ma had bee internationally known. He also began to express considerable interest in the possibilities of musical education for children. To that end, he made appearances on Sesame Street and other shows targeted at children.In xx, Ma started the Silk Road Project, which promotes cooperation among artists, including musicians from around the world. His devotion to bringing together the various cultures represented by the ancient Silk Road is expressed in Ma’s political attitude of peace through music. In xx, the UN Secretary General Kofi Anan named Maa Peace Ambassador.77.Which of the following statements is TRUE about Yo-Yo Ma?A. He has explored a wide range of musical forms.B. He wasn’t well-known in the U.S. until the 1980s.C. He is famous only for the classical pieces he performs.D. He was determined to bee a cellist since childhood.78.Whose work has had an influence on Ma in deciding to pursue a career as a cellist?A. Bobby McFerrin’s.B. Kofi Anan’s.C. Pablo Casals’.D.

In the activity “Morning Walk at Mitchell Park”, one may have no chance to ___________.A.appreciate bird watchingB. enjoy mountain climbingC.take a relaxing walkD. have morning tea( C )ESP, Extra Sensory Perception, is a catch-all expression for the so-called ability of certain people to receive transmitted thoughts from others, to transmit their own thoughts, to see what will happen in the future or to be able to move objects from one place to another without physically touching them. These special people are called psychics. Some believe that we all have this ability to some degree but that most of us choose not to develop it.Many people are skeptical about ESP. Alongside the existence of documented evidence, there are plenty of claims that have turned out to be cheating. For most people, it is difficult to accept such claims without having had first hand experience. The lack of scientific evidence is another factor to take into account. On the otherhand, most of us have, at some time, experienced a seemingly unexplainable occurrence; hearing the telephone ring and knowing who will be on the other end of the line or cases of coincidence that seem to be too extreme to be accidental.Over the years there have been numerous ESP experiments conducted by serious scientists in serious institutions. Joseph Banks Rhine, a botanist at Duke University published a famous book in 1934 called “Extra-Sensory P erception” in which he claimed to have enormous evidence of ESP. However, other scientists have been unable to copy his results since, which has resulted in the book losing much of its original credibility and fame.The Ganzfield Experiments are considered to have been the most carefully examined ESP experiments. So-called psychics had their eyes covered and ears blocked while a “sender” attempted to transmit messages. Later the psychic s would pare the messages received to the original messages sent out. There was a great deal of excitement and interest at the time, but the research failed to produce convincing results.One of the strongest criticisms against ESP is that in order for it to exist, the fundamental laws of physics would necessarily have to be broken.Human beings are attracted to the whole range of supernatural phenomena. ESP will always continue to fascinate. This bees clear when we see how much of the media is dedicated to the topic: magazines, journals, web sites, television and radio programs. Some of the most successful films in recent years have fuelled interest among the younger generations who are starting to ask the same questions and to look for explanations for the same phenomena as their parents and grandparents before them. Who knows? One day we might just find these answers because one thing is certain: “The truth is out there! ”85. According to the 1st paragraph, a psychic can do the following EXCEPT __________.A. read what his parents are thinking aboutB. transmit one friend’s thought to anotherC. predict what’ll happen at tomorrow’s meetingD. change the position of a chair without touching it86. The underlined word “skeptical” in the second paragraph c an be replaced with __________.A. enthusiasticB. doubtfulC. particularD.curious87. What can be learned about the book “Extra–Sensory P erception” and“theGanzfield E xperiments”?A. They both failed to prove the existence of ESP scientifically.B. They were both the products of casually-designed research.C. Others followed their examples and got the same consequences.D. The writer and the experiment operators lost their fame eventually.88. What does the passage mainly talk about?A. Whether ESP exists.B. How ESP works.C. Who ESP attracts.D. Why ESP fails.第II卷V.

2019—2020学年度高二英语下学期月考试题(含答案)
2019～2020学年度高二英语下学期月考试题第一部分阅读理解 (共两节，满分40分)第一节(共15小题，每题2分，满分30分)阅读下列短文，从所给的四个选项（A,B,C和D）中，选出最佳选项。
AAre you afraid of moving up to senior high school? It is a completely new experience, but you shouldn’t worry. We’ve got a guide to help you.You’re not alone.Remember that everybody else in your year is in the same boat. You may not notice it, but they’re just as nervous as you are.Moving to senior high school is a chance, not a problem. Things are different, and all you need to do is be polite and learn the new rules.The teachers will help.If you don’t know what to do or are worried about something, then ask for help. Teachers are probably the best people to turn to, because they have experience in helping new students. Pay attention to what your teachers say.Everything changes.There are lots of differences between junior high school and senior high school. You will have your lessons with different teachers in different rooms. You will have homework for different subjects on different days, so make sure you get organized.Other points.Make sure you know which rooms your classes are in and which days you have your different subjects on.If you’ve got an older brother or sister at the school, then ask them for advice. Be yourself! It sounds simple, but things will become better if you just act naturally.Having early nights makes a difference. You’ll also find it easier to get up in the morning!21. The author says that you’re not alone, because other students ______.A. are polite and friendlyB. will help you if possibleC. feel the same as you doD. will learn the new rules with you22. What does the writer think of moving up to senior high school?A. It is a difficult problem.B. It’s a good chance.C. It sounds simple.D. It’s worrying.23. Which of the following does the writer suggest you do?A. Just act naturally.B. Don’t be shy.C. Change yourself.D. Pay attention to others.24. The main purpose of the passage is to ______.A. tell students about a new experienceB. help students that are going to senior high schoolC. tell students how to make full use of timeD. teach students how to organize themselvesBAccording to some researchers, you should not praise children for everything that they do. It does not help them build self-confidence(自信).Most parents and teachers agree that praise can help increase children’s self-confidence —the more, the better. However, according to some researchers, only proper praise is good for children. If adults praise everything children do, it makes children look for praise all the time, not trying to do their best. "Teachers should not say things like ‘good job’ or ‘nice work’ whenever a child does anything. They should encourage them to continue to improve," some researchers advise.Another idea is that children with high self-confidence are happier, and do better at school. About this, Marshall Duke, a researcher in children, says, "High self-confidence brought in by too much praise does not make children happier, get more, or become able to do more. Finding a child’s advantages and developing them can help build confidence more than too much praise can." Praise also loses its effect if it is given equally to all students."It’s important to tell children the truth about what they’ve done. Honest feedback(反馈) is far better than empty praise," Duke adds. "People have got into the habit of not telling children when they’re wrong. That makes it hard for them to deal with difficultie s when they grow up. That’s just how the world is."25. According to some researchers, if parents praise their children too much, their children will ______.A. always look for praiseB. increase self-confidenceC. become strongD. do better in their studies26. In order to help children build self-confidence, some researchers advise parents to ______.A. make them live more happilyB. let them do more difficult workC. help them do better in schoolD. encourage them to improve27. Which of the following is TRUE, according to the passage?A. Praise makes children become successful.B. Children don’t know what they’re really good at.C. The same praise for all children has no meaning.D. Duke thinks praise is more important than fin ding children’s strengths.28. The underlined word "it" in the third paragraph refers to _________.A. the effectB. the praiseC. the advantageD.the confidenceCHi! Have you ever suddenly felt that someone you knew was in trouble — and was he? Have you ever dreamed something that came true later? Maybe you have ESP(超感觉知觉).ESP stands for Extrasensory Perception. It may be called a sixth sense. It seems to let people know about events before they happen, or events that are happening some distance away.Here's an example. A woman was ironing clothes. Suddenly she screamed, "My father isdead! I saw him sitting in the chair!" Just then, a telegram came. The woman's father died of a heart attack. He died sitting in a chair.There are thousands of stories like this one on record. Scientists are studying them to find out what's behind these strange mental messages. Here's another example—one of hundreds of dreams that have come true.A man dreamed he was walking along a road when a horse and carriage came by. The driver said, "There's room for one more." The man felt the driver seemed dead, so he ran away. The next day, when the ma n was getting on a crowded bus, the bus driver said, "There's room for one more."Then the man saw that the driver's face was the same face he had seen in the dream. He wouldn't get on the bus. As the bus drove off, it crashed and burst into flames. Everyone was killed!Some people say stories like these are coincidences(巧合). Others, including some scientists, say that ESP is real. From studies of ESP, we may someday learn more about the human mind.29．According to the passage, the writer believes that the sixth sense is ________. A. in existence B. imaginative C. not real D. impossible30．ESP lets people know _________.A. about events before they happenB. about events after they happenC. about events that are happening some distance awayD. A and C31．By studying ESP, scientists may get to ________.A. learn how people tell liesB. know more about human dreamsC. know more about human mindD. learn how strange things happenDIt is interesting that the arrival of snow has the effect on people in different countries. For some countries it is an important happening to celebrate each year, while for others a disaster or even a wonder.But there are countries between these two kinds that normally expect snow some time over the winter months, but never receive snow regularly or in the same quantities every year. Britain is one of them, for which the arrival of snow quite simply creates problems. Within hours of the first snowfalls, however trains and buses have to stop in the middle of the way. Telephone calls become difficult and the post immediately takes more time than usual. And almost within hours there are also certain shortages — bread, vegetables and other things — not because all these things can no longer be produced or sent to shops, but mainly because people are frightened and go out and store up with food and so on —“just for fear that something bad should happen”.But why does snow have this effect? It is simply because there is not enough planning and preparation. We need money to buy equipment to deal with snow and ice. To keep the roads clear, for example, requires snow-ploughs(犁雪车) and machines to spread salt. The reason why a country like Britain does not buy snow-ploughs is that they are only used for a few days in any one year, and the money could be more useful in other things such as hospitals, education, helping the old and so on.32. According to the writer, Britain is a country .A. which has regular snowB. which is not well prepared for snowC. for which snow is a disasterD. for which snow is a wonder33. After a few hours’ snow there is often some shortage of food because .A. shops have closed downB. people buy as much as they canC. farmers cannot produce any moreD. people eat more vegetables in winter34. The first reason why the British do not buy snow-ploughs is that .A. spreading salt is good enoughB. old people need more moneyC. snow-ploughs are not used oftenD. the hospital is more important35.The underlined words “two kinds” mean the countries .A. which have snow either as yearly happening to celebrate or as rare weatherB. which either have heavy snow or light snowC. to which snow either causes problems or no problemsD. which either have snow-ploughs or no snow-ploughs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。

AFour Free Mobile Apps to Help You Learn English F asterHave you realized that you can put your smartphone to really good use for learning English?

Duolingo uses interactive games to help you learn English. For beginners, the app focuses on helping you learn verbs, phrases and sentences.LingbeIf you are ready to practice your spoken skills in the real-world, you'll need Lingbe. It's a community-based app where people help each other and share their native languages. It connects you with real people on call who are native English speakers.Hello TalkHelloTalk is similar to Lingbe as it connects you with native speakers to help improve your language skills.However, it adds a few extra functions that might interest you. You can view the information about users to find a match that interests you. Additionally, you can also send text and audio messages, and even do video calls with other people.If you are a beginner, start from Duolingo and then use Hello English to take full command over the language.For fluent spoken English learners, you can try out Lingbe or Hello Talk.21．What should you already understand touse Hello English?A．Good reading andwriting skills.B．Basic listeningand speaking tips.C．DifferentEnglish lessons andbooks.D．Englishletters and basicstructures.22．Which app is the best choice for anEnglish beginner at first?A．Hello English. B．Duolingo.C．Lingbe. D．Hello Talk.23．What canyou do onLingbe?A．Read thelatest news.B．Enjoy theinteractive games.C．Practice yourspoken English.D．Talk with nativespeakers in the flesh.BSome English words are made up of the same part and have different beginnings and different endings, such as import, export, report and transport. All these words, you can see, have the same “port”, which come from the Latin word, meaning “to carry” or “to move” from one place to another. And according to the bit at the beginning,which we call the prefix the meaning changes. “Import” means “to carry in” or “to bring into a country”,“export”,“ex” means “out of”, so this word means “to carry out of the country”,“re” means “back”, so the “report”means“to tell somebody, to bring back information to somebody”,“transport”,“trans” means “across” and it means “to carry across one place to another”.Let’s look at the following words: supporter, reporter, importer and exporter. You can seethat in this case these words are nouns which are made up of the verbs plus a suffix, thusmeaning a person who completes the verb. So supporter means somebody who supports. Areporter is somebody who reports. Importer is somebody who imports and exporter issomebody who exports, and so on.24.In the first sentence the word “part” means .A.different beginnings and different endingsB. the same part that has severalmeaningsC. the root of the wordD. the same root that has different meanings25.By adding a prefix or a suffix to a root, we can get a word which has .A.the meaning of a Latin wordB. a different meaningC. the meaning of “in” or “out of”D. a lot of meanings26.We can get a noun .A.just by adding “er” to verbsB. by changing a prefixC. only by adding “er” to a rootD. by adding a suffix to a verb27.According to the passage, if we talk about a man of refinement, you may guess that hemust be .A.a man having good manners and educationB. a person who should be educatedC. somebody having bad mannersD. a person punished by somebody elseCYou know you have to read “between the lines” to get the most out of anything. I want topersuade you to do something equally important in the course of your reading. I want topersuade you to “write between the lines”.Unless you do, you are not likely to do the mostefficient kind of reading.I insist, quite bluntly, that marking up a book is not an act of damage but of love. Thereare two ways in which one can own a book. The first is the property right you establish bypaying for it, just as you pay for clothes and furniture. But this act of buying is only the firststep to possession. Full ownership comes only when you have made it a part of yourself, andthe best way to make yourself a part of it is by writing in it. A comparison may make thepoint clear. You buy a piece of beef and transfer it from the butcher’s icebox to your own. Butyou do not own the beef in the most important sense until you eat it and get it into your blood.I am arguing that books,too, must be absorbed in your blood to do you any good.There are three kinds of book owners. The first has all the standard sets and bestsellers —unread, untouched.The second has a great many books — a few of them read through, mostof them dipped into, but all of them as clean and shiny as the day they were bought. The thirdhas a few books or many — every one of them worn,shaken and loosened by continual use, marked and scribbled(涂写) in from front to back.Why is marking up a book necessary to reading it? First, it keeps you awake.(And I don’t mean only conscious; I mean wide awake. ) In the second place, reading, if it is active, is thinking, and thinking tends to express itself in words, spoken or written. The marked book is usually the thought-through book. Finally, writing helps you remember the thoughts you had, or the thoughts the author expressed.28.The third kind of owners of books must be .A.experienced readersB. untidy readersC. active readersD. careless readers29.Marking up a book means .A.writing down difficult sentencesB. finding the extra meanings of unknown wordsC.writing in the space the ideas you get through careful readingD.making notes to show you understand what you have read30.What does the author persuade you to mark?A.Whatever you have given deep thought to while reading.B.Words and sentences that bring up rich ideas.C.Primary questions that challenge you.D.Whatever disagreements you may have with the book31.A great advantage of marking up a book is .A.to absorb all the brilliant ideas it containsB.to make yourself a part of itC.to make yourself conscious that you are reading activelyD.to enable yourself to pick up the book for continual readingDScientists think that growing garden grass could be the secret to solving our energy needs, and we may soon be able to replace our gasoline with “grassoline”．The team, including experts from Cardiff University in Wales, has shown that hydrogen can be taken from grass in useful amounts with the help of sunlight and a cheap catalyst—something that speeds up a chemical reaction without being used up.It is the first time that this has been shown and it could lead to a sustainable way of making hydrogen,reported Asian News International. This could be an important kind of renewable energy because it is high in energy and it does not give out harmful gases when it is burned.Study co-author Michael Bowker said, “This is really a green source of energy.Hydrogen is seen as an important future energy carrier as the world moves from fossil fuels to renewable energy, and our research has shown that even garden grass could be a good way of getting it.”Cellulose ( 纤维素), which is a key part of plants and the biopolymer found in thelargest numbers on theearth, could be a great source of hydrogen.In their study, the team looked at the possibility of getting hydrogen from cellulose using sunlight and a simple catalyst.This is called photocatalysis ( 光催化作用) and in it, the sunlight starts the catalyst, which then makescellulose and water into hydrogen. The researchers studied the effectiveness of three metal-based catalysts, of which nickel ( 镍) especially interested the researchers, as it is a much more common metal than gold and palladium and it saves more money.According to Bowker, producing hydrogen from cellulose using photocatalysis has not been studied in detail.The team's research shows that large amounts of hydrogen can be produced using this method with the help of a bit of sunlight and a cheap catalyst.The study shows that it is effective to use real grass taken from a garden. “This is important as it avoids the need to separate and clean up cellulose, which can be both difficult and costly，” said Bowker.32．What are needed to gethydrogen from grass?A．Acatalyst and palladium.B．Waterandcellulose.C．Sunlight and abiopolymer.D．Sunlight and acatalyst.33．Why is the new way of making hydrogenconsidered significant?A．It is cheap, green andsustainable.B．It is the best to produce the renewable energy.C．It is more productive and efficientthan other methods.D．It can replacethe way to make fossil fuelscompletely.34．Why does nickel interest the researchers in making hydrogenfrom cellulose?A．It can produce the largest amount of hydrogen.B．It can avoid separating andcleaning up cellulose.C．It is morecommon than other metals and costsless.D．It works quicker than other metals duringphotocatalysis.35．What does the author intendto tell us mainly in this passage?A．Catalysts thatcould be taken from grass.B．A new way of makinghydrogen from grass.C．Thepotential of hydrogen as arenewable energy.D．The connection between hydrogen and photocatalysis.第二节(共5小题；每小题2.5，满分12.5 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。
