一、阅读理解（本大题共15小题，共分）AMany actors in the world are not confident enough to refuse an offer from Steven Spielberg. Maybe that was why Juliette gave him a choice. She said she'd be happy to be in Jurassic Park as long as she could play a dinosaur. Of course he turned her down and it was probably a good thing. It's difficult to imagine Juliette tearing people apart with her teeth. However, her decision doesn't seem to have done her career any harm. She has gone on to make a string of hits, including The Unbearable Lightness of Being, The English Patient (for which she won an Oscar) and Chocolat.It is not so easy to be successful in the United States for other foreign stars. Aaron is a good example. While some of his films have been popular in the US, they have usually been French films that traveled. One possible exception was Green Card, directed by Peter Weir, where he plays a French immigrant (移民) who goes through a fake wedding in order to stay and work in the United States. This is a predictable but sweet romantic edy which typecasts (使模式化) its lead actors in terms of national stereotypes (陈规陋习). While some reviewers were kind, others shredded both the film and Aaron's performance.1.What do we know from Paragraph 1?A. Juliette tore people apart with her teeth.B. Juliette refused an offer from Steven Spielberg.C. Juliette was not confident to play in Jurassic Park.D. Juliette exactly wanted to play a dinosaur for Steven Spielberg.2.What do we know about Aaron?A. He is an American actor.B. He is an immigrant from France.C. Most of his films are French.D. His films were made in America, but well received in France.3.What is the meaning of the last sentence of the passage?A. All of his films are impressive.B. His films are quite interesting.C. His films are popular in America.D. Not all reviewers like his films.BAccording to a new US study, couples who expect their children to look after them in old age should hope they have daughters because daughters are twice as attentive as sons overall.The research by Angelina Grigoryeva, from Princeton University, found that, while women provide as much care for their elderly parents as they can manage, men do as little as they can to get away with and often leave it to female family members.Her analysis of the family networks of 26,000 old Americans concluded that gender (性别) is one of the most important things that decide whether or not people will actively care for their elderly parents.In a paper presented at the annual conference of the American Sociological Association in San Francisco, she concludes that simply having a sister makes men likely provide less care. Using data from the University of Michigan Health and Retirement Study, a study which has been tracking a crosssection of over 50s for the last decade, she calculated that women provide an average of 12.3 hours a month of care for elderly parents while men offer only 5.6 hours."Sons reduce their relative caregiving efforts when they have a sister, while daughters increase theirs when they have a brother.""This suggests that sons pass on parent caregiving responsibilities to their sisters."In the UK, the 2011 Census (人口普查) showed that there are now around 6.5 million people with caring responsibilities, a figure which has risen by a tenth in a decade.But many are doing so at the risk of their health. The census showed that those who provide 50 hours or more of care a week while trying to hold down a full time job are three times more likely to be struggling with ill health than their working counterparts (同事) who are not carers.4.According to the finding of the research, from which of the following familieswill the old probably enjoyed the best care?A. The parents with two sons.B. The parents with one daughter.C. The parents with two daughters.D. The parents with one daughter and one son.5.How did the researchers e to the conclusion?A. By giving out some questionnaires.B. By tracking some of the American families.C. By doing some research on a nursing home.D. By analyzing some of the American family networks.6.What can we know from the passage?A. Angelina led the study of Health and Retirement Study.B. Angelina analyzed various data and researches to get the finding.C. Caring responsibilities are a heavy burden to most Americans.D. Most male families will not take on the responsibility of looking after theold.7.What is implied in the last paragraph?A. Many care providers work longer hours than others.B. People should give up their job to care for the elderly.C. People shouldn't pass on caring responsibilities to others.D. Many care providers might have potential health problems.CHow do you like your milk: cooked or raw? It may sound a strange question, but it’s being asked more often at kitchen tables, grocery stores and farmers’markets across the US.The vast majority of milk we drink is heattreated to kill off harmful bacteria (细菌). Raw milk, on the other hand, goes straight to bottle. Fans call it milk as nature intended: nutrientrich and full of a good kind of bacteria. Some fans go further, calling it a super food that aids digestion (消化), benefits the immune system and treats some diseases.An increasing number of people agree. For healthconscious, organicloving shoppers, raw milk is a growing food trend. They feel uneasy at the thought of heated milk sitting under supermarket lighting. But despite the enthusiasm, it’s a trend with a terrible side.Pasteurization (加热杀菌) is a reason—it’s highly effective at killing some harmful things that can hang around in the body of even healthy cows. Raw milk, on the other hand, relies heavily on the skill of the farmer to avoid them.Raw milk illnesses have increased as more people drink it. Between 2010 and 2019, raw milk and raw milk cheese caused the vast majority (96%) of all illnesses linked to dairy products. Considering far fewer people consume it, that makes unpasteurized dairy 840 times more risky than pasteurized. The recent deaths of two people who ate raw milk cheese made in New York underscored the sometimes deadly consequences. And for young children, whose underdeveloped immune systems make them more vulnerable (易受伤害的), the dangers of raw milk make it hard to remend.8.Why does most milk that people drink is heattreated?A. To add some useful bacteria.B. To make it taste more delicious.C. To make it safer for people to drink.D. To make it have a better appearance.9.Which of the following is a reason for raw milk not being accepted?A. It’s not good for people’s health.B. It may contain something harmful.C. It’s often put under market lighting.D. It es from unhealthy cows.10.In which section of a newspaper may this text appear?A. Entertainment.B. Health.C. Education.D. Politics.11.What is the best title of the text?A. Benefits of Raw MilkB. How to Tell the Quality of MilkC. Reasons for Choosing Heated MilkD. Raw Milk: a Super Food or Super Risk?DPut five, eight, twelve or more people together in a room, and it's a game of luck as to how well they'll function as a team. The larger the group, the more difficult it bees. It's a lot like dining out with a bunch of friends. Where to go? Italian? Vegetarian? Steakhouse? Each person has their own appetite, which can make creating a "sharedinterest" extremely challenging.Sharedinterest is the lifeblood of teams, and only the most successful panies know how to foster it. But how?"Project Aristotle", an experiment led by Abeer Dubey, a manager in Google's People Analytics division was conducted in 2012 to discover how to build the "perfect team." After years of analyzing data and interviews from more than 180 teams across the pany, Google found that the individual personalities in a team are not so relevant."We had lots of data, but there was nothing showing that a mix of specific personality types or skills or backgrounds made any difference. The 'who' part of the equation didn't seem to matter," Dubey said in an interview with The New York Times. Instead, the researchers found that there were five key characteristics of enhanced teams:Psychological safety: Everyone feels safe in taking risks, and that they won't be embarrassed or punished for doing so.Dependability: Everyone pletes quality work on time.Structure and clarity: Everyone knows what their specific expectations are. These expectations must be challenging yet attainable.Meaning: Everyone has a sense of purpose in their work, for example, supporting family.Impact: Everyone sees that the result of their work actually contributes to the organization's overall goals.While Google's findings may be true to some extent, a large number of scientific studies have caused researchers outside of Google's lab to shockingly disagree. Thomas ChamorroPremuzic, a professor of business psychology at Columbia University and author of the book "Why Do So Many Inpetent Men Bee Leaders?" and psychologist Dave Winsborough are among them. They both claim that personality, in particular, heavily affects the role of an individual within a team and is indeed a significant factor in what makes a team successful.Researchers found that the poorestperforming teams were 100 percent "pragmatic" (讲求实效的) and had 0 percent 'relationshipbuilding' traits. "Too often, organizations focus merely on the functional role and hope that good team performance somehow follows," ChamorroPremuzic and Winsborough cowrote in a Harvard Business Review article. "This is why even the most expensive professional sports teams often fail to perform according to the individual talents of each player: There is no psychological synergy (协作). A more effective approach focuses as much on people's personalities as on their skills."12.Why does the author mention the example of "dining out"?A. To emphasize the challenges of creating a mon interest.B. To cater for the different tastes of people from all walks of life.C. To stress the importance of different individuals in teams.D. To get more different people involved in building a team.13.What might be the least deciding factor of a perfect team according to Google'slab?A. Dependability.B. A sense of purpose.C. Psychological safety.D. Individual personalities.14.According to the last paragraph, why do the most expensive professional sportsteams fail to perform?A. Because they care more about the result.B. Because they are not talented enough.C. Because they lack relationship building.D. Because they are vague about their roles.15.How is the passage mainly developed?A. By making basic assumptions.B. By giving a lot of detailed examples.C. By analyzing causes and effects.D. By presenting contradictory findings.二、阅读七选五（本大题共5小题，共分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

2020-2021学年重庆市求精中学高三英语上学期期末考试试卷及参考答案第一部分阅读（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项ABritain's brilliant bridges have aided trade and brought communities together and are always the most exciting part of the journey. These must-see bridges are now tourist attractions in their own right.Clifton Suspension Bridge, BristolDescribed byits legendary engineer Isambard Kingdom Brunel as “my first love, my darling”, in was originally designed for horse-drawn traffic. Now, more than four million vehicles a year cross the 1,352ft-Jong toll (收费) bridge over the Avon Gorge. The £ l toll for every journey pays for its repair. The history of the bridge, dating back to 1864, is kept alive through a programme of tours, events and exhibitions.Infinity Bridge, Stockton-On-TeesA pedestrian and cycle footbridge across the River Tees, its working title was the North Shore Footbridge, before it was given its grander name when opened in 2009. It is particularly spectacular (壮观) at night. The arches of the bridge are also lit white and, on calm nights, their reflection in the water appears as an infinity symbol, thereby inspiring the name which was chosen by the public.Tower Bridge, LondonAn engineering wonder built from thousands of tons of Cornish granite, Portland stone and steel, it took construction workers eight years to complete. More than 120 years old, it's a popular tourist attraction, as well as a functional bridge. Visitors can take in the views over the capital and experience seeing London life through the Glass Floor.Iron Bridge, ShropshireOpened in 1781, this is the first arch bridge in the world to be made out of cast iron. Recognised as one of the great symbols of the industrial revolution, it transformed the cart of bridge building and was a crucial factor in the development of the iron trade in Shropshire.1.Which bridge has the longest history?A.Clifton Suspension Bridge.B.Infinity Bridge.C.Tower Bridge.D.Iron Bridge.2.What can we know about Infinity Bridge?A.People can just walk on it.B.The public give it two names.C.It's well worth visiting at night.D.It's arch is the biggest on the earth.3.What do Clifton Suspension Bridge and Tower Bridge have in common?A.They are both over 120 years old.B.Visitors should pay for passing them.C.They have the same original design.D.Visitors can have a good view of London on them.BConcerns about health, animals and the environment are leading more people to remove meat from their diet. Plant-based meat alternatives (替代品) increasingly appear in supermarkets and restaurants. But what some people call clean meat-meat grown from cells in a laboratory—is still an idea that is just beginning.More than 24 companies are testing lab-grown fish, beef and chicken. These businesses hope to enter the alternative meat market, which could be worth $140 billion by 2029. One of the companies, Shiok Meats, grows its product by taking shrimp cells and keeping them at a fixed temperature. They are then given nutrients in a solution (溶液). The cells become meat in four to six weeks.This lab-grown meat’s price is high. One kilogram of it now costs $5,000, said Shiok Meats’ chief executive Sandhya Sriram. At that cost, a single pork and shrimp dumpling could be as much as $300. Sriram, avegetarian, hopes to cut the cost to $50 for one kilogram by the end of this year. “We are looking at next year, so we might be the first ever company to launch a cell-based meat product in the world,” Sriram said. “Shiok Meats still needs approval from the city’s food regulator, and that matters the most at present.”Although people increasingly demand meat alternatives, cell-based meat companies still faceresistance(抵制) to their products. In Singapore, some people said they would give lab grown meat a second thought. “I may not exactly dare to eat it, but I do find the idea appealing because the animals in the oceans are declining,” said 60-year-old Pet Loh, while sheshopped for shrimps in a Singapore market.Any alternative way of making animal protein without harming the environment is positive, said Paul Teng, a specialist in agriculture technology at Nanyang Technological University. But, he added, more studies are needed to understand any negative result of making cellular protein.4. Why are more people eating less meat?A. Because lab-grown meat has more nutrition.B. Because plant-based food is getting popular.C. Because meat in the market is increasingly expensive.D. Because health and the environment are their concerns.5. What is the most important for Shiok Meats at present according to Sriram?A. Bringing down the price.B. Gaining consumers’ acceptance.C. Obtaining official permission.D. Getting ahead of other companies.6. Which word best describes Pet Loh’s attitude towards lab-grown meat?A. Doubtful.B. Uncaring.C. Negative.D. Positive.7. What is the text mainly about?A. A new way to make a fortune.B. Negative results of lab-grown meat.C. New research findings on healthy diet.D. A meat alternative grown in labs.CImagine that youare a superhero. Your superpowers are activated by a special suit. The suit communicates with your brain. It allows you to do amazing things with only a thought. By concentrating on strength, for example, you can kick a soccer ball across a field. By focusing on swift actions, you can jump to the top of a tree.Such a connection between mind and machine may sound like a fantasy. To scientists, though, it is a very real goal. They are creating machines that let disabled monkeys walk. These machines may soon help disabled humans do the same. Unlike other bionic devices, these robotic “super suits” do not communicate with muscles and nerves. Instead, they have a direct line to the brain.In 2005, doctors drilled a hole in the skull of Hutchinson, who had lost her right arm in an accident. Then they inserted a sensor onto her motor cortex (大脑皮层运动区). Wires connected the sensor to a receiver on her head. After she recovered, researchers pluggedHutchinson’s receiver into a cable that relayed signals from her brain to computers. Then they connected a robotic arm to the computers. The computerscould interpretHutchinson’s brain signals to move the arm.Soon,Hutchinson, the computer, and the robotic arm became a team.Hutchinsonwas even able to lift her hand and drink from a cup. “She smiled when she put down that drink—that’s everything.” says Donoghue, a brain scientist.Today other scientists are building on that success. One of those scientists is Dr. Miguel Nicolelis, who designed a whole-body bionic equipment. In 2014, a disabled former athlete kicked the first ball of the World Cup Games wearing one of Miguel’s full-body exoskeletons.The exoskeleton was connected to brain signal sensors in the man’s cap. By thinking about kicking, he sentsignals to a computer on his back. The computer then translated the signal into an exoskeleton-aided kick. Such designs may become common as scientists keep merging mind and machine.8.Which can best describe the tone of paragraph 1?A. Narrative and serious.B. Persuasive and critical.C. Informative and objective.D. Descriptive and imaginative.9. What is paragraph 3 mainly about?A. Reason of the experiment.B. Results of the experiment.C. Process of the experiment.D. Significance of the experiment.10. Why is Dr. Miguel’s exoskeleton special?A. It can be used on animals.B. It can move the whole body.C. It was supported by computers.D. It was connected directly to the brain.11. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A. Robotic suits may be widely used to help disabled people.B. Exoskeleton is more common thanHutchinson’s bionic arm.C.Scientific experiments are commonly carried out in football fields.D. Disabled athletes can now play football again with the help of computer.DPortraits as ArtAccording to a dictionary, portraiture is “a representation (描绘) of a person, especially of the face by drawing or painting alikeness.” However, this definition neglects the complexities of portraiture. Portraits are works of art that engage with ideas of identity rather than just a likeness. These concepts of identity involve social rank, gender, age, profession, character of the subject, etc. It is impossible to copy all the aspects of identity. Therefore, portraits reflect only certain qualities of subjects. Portrait art has also undergone significant shifts in artistic practice. The majority of portraits are the outcome of current artistic fashions and favored styles. Therefore, portrait art is an art category providing various engagement with social, psychological, and artistic practices and expectations.Since portraits are different from other art categories, they are worthy of separate study. During their production, portraits require the presence of a specific person, or an image of the individual. In many instances, the production of portraiture has required sittings, which result in interaction between the subject(s) and the artist throughout the creation of the work. In certain instances, portrait artists depended on a combination of different involvement with their subjects. If the sitter can’t sit in the studio regularly, portraitists could use his or her photographs. InEurope, during the seventeenth and eighteenth century, the sitting time was sometimes decreased by focusing only on the head. Theoretically, portraitists could work from impressions or memories when creating a painting, but this rarely occurred according to documented records. Nonetheless, whether the work is based on model sittings, copying a photograph, or using memory, the process of painting a portrait is linked with the model’s attendance.Furthermore, portrait painting can be distinguished from other artistic categories by its connection with appearance, or likeness. As such, the art of portrait painting got a reputation for imitation instead of for artistic innovation. Based on Renaissance art theory, portraiture was related to the level of a mechanical exercise as opposed to a fine art. Michelangelo’s well-known protest against portraits is only one example. During the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, the attitude to portraiture was critical. Even so, artists from around the globe persisted in painting portraits despite their theoretical objections. Picasso, for example, became widely-known forcubist still-life painting(立体派静物画) early in his career, but some of his early experiments in this new style were his portraits of art dealers.12. What does paragraph 1 mainly tell us?A. The changing definition of portraiture reflects shifting attitudes to it.B. Most portraits reflect artistic fashions and favored styles when created.C. Portraiture is a more complex art form than is defined in a dictionary.D. Portrait art shouldn’t be seen as a distinct art category for its complexity.13. Which of the following is a characteristic of portraiture mentioned in paragraph 2?A. Portraiture typically takes much less time than other art forms.B. Portraiture often requires frequent cooperation between artists.C. Portraits show models in a more accurate way than other art forms.D. Portraits generally involve interaction between subjects and artists.14. According to paragraph 2, during portraits’ production, artists __________.A. based their work on the subjects’ attendanceB. preferred models’ photographs to their presenceC. were more willing to use impressions or memoriesD. reduced sitting time to concentrate on a sitter’s head15. Picasso is chosen as an example by the author because he __________.A. altered the way other artists felt about portrait artB. created portraits in spite of his objection to portrait artC. depended on portrait art to establish a higher reputationD. had fewer theoretical objections to portraitures than others第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

2020-2021学年重庆市渝北中学高三英语第一次联考试卷及参考答案第一部分阅读（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项APersonal Time Off(PTO)is something my wife and I created after having kids. We learned that，over time，a full life can leave little time for personal rest and for reflection，hanging out with friends，or just being“off. ”So，after a number of years，we make a change. If I can persuade you to take your own PTO，then these might help.■Schedule itFirst of all，one of our favorite family sayings is“schedule it. ”Sounds easy enough，but life gets complicated managing full-time work and full-time family. Put yourPTO time on the calendar and you make it a real thing.■Be flexible and strictIf you can schedule PTO at the same time each week，then all the better. Because our calendar can get rather full，flexibility in scheduling becomes a necessity. But being strict in actually taking the time each week is more important. Skipping it once makes it easier to skip again.■Take enough timeMy typical PTO lasts a couple of hours or longer. Sometimes it might be half the day depending on what I’m doing. The goal is to spend enough time away to1et your shoulders drop.■Do what you want to doRemember，PTO time is about personal time to do what you want to do，not what you have to do. PTO time is about relaxation. Grab a friend and get a beer. Work can wait until tomorrow.1.What can be the first step to take the PTO?A.Persuade the family.B.Have a personal rest.C.Ask friends for advice.D.Make a time plan.2.What does the underlined part“let your shoulders drop”probably mean?A.Get you more focused.B.Have you feel relaxed.C.Shake your shoulders often.D.Make you feel more stressed.3.What does the text mainly talk about?A.Tips on how to take your time offB.Skills to manage work and familyC.Advice on how to free yourselfD.Ways of scheduling your workBMark Bertram, 46, lost the tips of two fingers at work in 2018 when his hand became trapped in a fan belt. “It's life-changing but it's not life-ending,” he says. “Doing work is harder now. Everything is just a little different.”After two surgeries and occupational therapy, Bertram decided to make light of his condition by asking Eric Catalano, a tattoo (纹身) artist, to create fingernail tattoos. The idea made everyone in the studio laugh—until they saw the final result. “The mood changed,” Catalano recalls from his Eternal Ink Tattoo Studio. “Everything turned from funny to wow.”When Catalano posted a photo of the tattoos, a pair of fingernails that looked so real that no one could believe their eyes, he had no idea the image would eventually be viewed by millions of people around the world.The viral photo pushed Catalano, 40, further into the world of paramedical (辅助医疗的) tattooing. Now people with life-altering scars come from as far away as Ireland to visit his shop. They enter Eternal Ink looking for the artistic healing they saw online. Using flesh-toned (肉色的) inks and a needle, Catalano transforms his clients' view of themselves.Leslie Pollan, 32, a dog breeder in Oxford, was bitten on the face by a puppy in 2014. She underwent countless surgeries to correct a scar on her lip.“Plastic surgery gave me no hope,” she says. “So I looked for other options.” She ultimately traveled six hours to meet with Catalano. He hid Pollan's lip scar, giving her back a piece of her confidence.“ You don't understand until you've been through it,” Pollan says. “It made me have a different look on life.”Catalano performs up to eight reconstructive tattoos. While he charges $100 per regular tattoo, he doesn't charge for paramedical tattoos. “Financially, it doesn't make sense,” Catalano says. “But every time I see that emotion from my customers, I'm 100 percent sure this is something that I can't stop doing.”4. What best describes people's attitude when first hearing of fingernail tattoos?A. Indifferent.B. Ridiculous.C. Confident.D. Surprised.5. What did Catalano do to help Leslie Pollan?A. He drew an artistic puppy.B. He inked scars on her face.C. He created a lip tattoo.D. He performed plastic surgeries on her.6. What can we infer from the passage?A. Cosmetic surgery is of no use.B. Tattoos earn Mark Bertram a good fame.C. Catalano is a kind and generous person.D. Fingernail tattoos are popular around the world.7. What could be the best title for the text?A. A Life-changing EventB. Miracle TattoosC. An Amazing ArtistD. A Promising BusinessCA dog spentthe lastfour years of his life waitingat a crossroad in the Thai city ofKhon Kaenas if waiting for someone. People originally thought the dog had been abandoned, but then realized that he looked healthy, so people asked around about him. It turned out that the dog had indeed been spending most of his time around that crossroad, but a woman had been coming round regularly to bring him food and water.One day, while photographing the dog everyone called Leo, a reporter met the woman who had been taking care of him. She had come to drop off some food. After learning the story about the dog and the woman, the reporter decided to share the story on social media.

And the photos reached the eyes of Leo’s former old owner.Nang Noi Sittisarn, a 64-year-old woman fromThailand’sRoiEtProvince, almost had a heart attack when her daughter showed her a photo of the beloved dog named BonBon she had lost during a car trip. When she learned that he had been waiting for her in the same spot for the last four years，her heart melted(融化).Auntie Noi told her daughter to drive her to where the dog was waiting. When she got there and called his name. BonBon，the poor dog started wiggling(扭动)his tailand came to her，but when she tried to take him home with her, he was unwilling to follow. She didn’ t want to force the dog to come with her so she agreed to leave him with his new master. However, she and her daughter will come to visit him regularly.8.Why did the dog look healthy after separation from his former owner?A. He walked around the crossroad constantly.B.

No one knows the result until the last minuteDNowadays organic food hasbecome a fashion. Organic food sales reached a record of $ 45.2 billion in 2017, making it one of the fastest-growing parts of American agriculture. Some people may buy organic food for these reasons like resource cycling and biodiversity, but most people may choose organic food because they think it's healthier. While a small number of studies have shown relationships between eating organic food and reducing risks of being ill, no studies, up to now, have answered the question whether eating organic food can improve health.According to the United States Department of Agriculture(USDA), organic food does not suggest anything about health. In 20155 Miles McEvoy, then chief of the National Organic Program for the USDA, refused to admit any health benefits of organic food, saying the question has nothing to do with the National Organic Program. Instead, the USDA thinks that organic refers to a production method that increases cycling of resources keeps ecological balance, and protects biodiversity.I'm an environmental health scientist who has spent over 20 years studying pesticides that do harm to human beings. Several years ago, I was part of the study on whether an organic diet can reduce pesticide exposure. This study focused on a group of pesticides which have always been harmful to children's brain development. We found that children who ate traditional diets had nine times higher exposure to these pesticides than children whoate organic diets.Last month, I published a small study that suggested a path forward to answering the question whether eating organic food actually improves health. My study got a lot of attention. While the results were novel, they didn't answer the big question. As I toldThe New York Timesin 2003, “What does this really mean for the safety of my kids? But we don't know. Nobody does. It was true then, and it's still true now.”12. Why do most people prefer to buy organic food?A. For its health benefits.B. For biodiversity.C. For its delicious taste.D. For resource cycling.13. What does the USDA suggest about organic food?A. It can improve people's health.B. It is produced in an environment-friendly way.C. It can reduce risks of being ill.D. It has nothing to do with the National Organic Program.14. What can be concluded from the author's study?A. Pesticides don't harm children's brain.B. Traditional diets benefit people's health.C. Organic diets can reduce pesticide exposure.D. The results are meaningful to children's safety.15. What is the best title for the text?A.What Is Organic Food?B. Is Organic Food Healthier?C. How Should We Avoid Pesticides?D. What Are the Benefits of Organic Food?第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

Different functions of passportsBI began to grow up that winter night when my parents and I were returning from my aunt's house,and my mother said that we might soon be leaving for America.We were on the bus then.I was crying,and some people on the bus were turning around to look at me.I remember that I could not bear the thought of never hearing again the radio program for school children to which I listened every morning.I do not remember myself crying for this reason again.In fact,I think I cried very little when I was saying goodbye to my friends and relatives.When we were leaving,I thought about all the places I was going to see - the strange and magical places I had known only from books and pictures.The country I was leaving and never to come back was hardly in my head then.The four years that followed taught me the importance of optimism（乐观），but the idea did not come to me at once.For the first two years in New York I was really lost - having to study in three schools as a result of family moves.I did not quite know what I was or what I should be.Mother remarried,and things became even more complex （复杂的）for me.Some time passed before my stepfather （继父）and I got used to each other.I was often sad,and saw no end to "the hard times."My responsibilities in the family increased a lot since I knew English better than everyone else at home.I wrote letters,filled out forms,translated at interviews with immigration officers,took my grandparents to the doctor and translated there,and even discussed telephone bills with company representatives （代表）.From my experiences I have learned one important rule：Almost all common troubles go away at last!Something good is certain to happen in the end when you do not give up,and just wait a little!I believe that my life will turn out all right,even though it will not be that easy.19.How did the author get to know America？______A.

She helped her family with her English.22.The author believes that ______ .A. good things will happen if one keeps tryingB. it is difficult to learn to become patientC. there are more good things than bad thingsD. her future will be free from troublesCRuss Fee was asleep inside his tent when screams awoke him.Throwing on his shoes,he ran out to look.Russ and his wife were travelling through Canada's Banff National Park to enjoy its amazing beauty and awesome wildlife.It was the latter that he then met.Although it was dark,Russ could see a neighboring tent.Backing out was a wolf,dragging something in his teeth.That thing was a man.Moments earlier,Elisa and Matt Rispoli were asleep with their two young children when the wolf tore into their tent. "It was something out of a horror movie," Elisa posted on Facebook.For 3 minutes, "Matt threw his body in front of me and the boys and fought the wolf." At one point,Matt got the upper hand,pinning the wolf to the ground.But the wolf fixed its jaws onto Matt's arm,and began pulling him outside.It was then that Russ entered the picture.He ran at the beast,kicking it "like I was kicking in a door," he told ABC New York.The wolf dropped Matt and came out from the tent. " I felt like I had hit someone that is way out of my weight class，" Russ added.Before the wolf could turn its anger on Russ,Matt,whose arms bloodied,flew out of the tent to continue the battle.The men threw rocks at the wolf,forcing it back,and then the Fees and the Rispolis ran into the Fees' minivan.An ambulance was called,and Matt was taken to a local hospital suffering bad injuries.He now has fully recovered.The wolf was tracked down by park officials and euthanized （实施安乐死）.As for Russ,whom Elisa called their guardian angel,he does admit to a fleeting （转瞬即逝的）thought,if less-than-heroic,during the heat of battle.The moment the wolf locked eyes with him,"I immediately regretted kicking it."23.When did Russ join the fight？______A. When he saw a wolf pulling a man.B. When he saw a wolf tearing into a tent.C. When Matt pinned the wolf to the ground.D. When Matt threw his body in front of his wife.24.What can we learn from the underlined sentence in Paragraph 3？______A. The wolf was out of Russ' way.B. Russ once hit someone very huge.C. The wolf was far heavier than Russ.D. Russ wanted to beat the wolf to death.25.What kind of person did Elisa think Russ is？______A. a person who is positive in life.B. a person who always protects them.C. a person who is less-than-heroic.D. a person who recovers easily.26.What is the best title for the passage？______A. A Narrow Escape.B. Wolves in Banff.C. Two Lucky Families.D. An Exciting Adventure.DWhen a storm is coming,most people leave the area as quickly as possible and head for safety.But there are a few people who will get into cars and go straight for the center of the storm.These people are willing to risk being killed by floods or 100-kilometer-an-hour winds for the excitement of watching the storm close up."Storm chasing （追逐）" is becoming an increasingly popular hobby,especially in the Midwest of the United States,where there are frequent storms between March and July.A storm chaser begins the day by checking the Internet for the latest weather reports,and then drives up to 1，000 kilometers to where the storm will be and waits for it to develop.Although anyone can do it,storm chasing is extremely dangerous.The power of a big storm can throw a cow into the air or destroy a whole house in seconds.Storm chasers are also often hurt in accidents caused by driving in a heavy rain.If you are a beginner,it is much safer to join a group for storm-chasing vacations during the storm seasons.Even then,storm chasing is not all adventure and excitement. "Storm chasing is 95% driving," says Daniel Lynch,who spends most of his summer storm-chasing. "Sometimes you can sitaround for hours waiting for something to happen,and all you get is blue sky and a few light showers."However,for storm chasers,it is all worth it. "When you get close to a storm,it is the most exciting sight you will ever see in your life," says Jasper Morley. "Every storm is an example of the power of nature.It is the greatest show on Earth."27.For storm chasing,the first thing storm chasers do is to ______ .A. leave the area quickly for safetyB. collect information about a coming stormC. head straight for the center of the stormD. Patiently wait for the storm to develop28.It's recommended that beginners of storm chasing should ______ .A. not drive in a heavy rainB. spend much more time on itC. not get into the center of a stormD. do it in an organized way29.By saying "it is all worth it" in the last paragraph,the author means that ______ .A. efforts in storm chasing are well paidB. storm chasing is a waste of moneyC. storm chasing is worth seeingD. storm chasing shows the power of nature30.What can we infer from the text？______A. Storm is too dangerous to chase.B. Storm chasers are driving all the time.C. Sometimes it's nothing but disappointment that storm chasers get.D. Storm chasing is becoming popular around the world.三、阅读七选五（本大题共5小题，共12.5分）Have you ever started a fitness program and then quit？(1) .Many people start fitness programs,but they may stop when they get bored,they don't enjoy it or results come too slowly.Here are four tips to help you stay motivated.Set goalsStart with simple goals and then progress to longer range goals.Remember to make your goalsrealistic and achievable.For example,if you haven't exercised in a while,a short-term goal might be to walk 10 minutes a day five days a week.
