Youth Exchanges give small groups of 4-5 young people the opportunity to take part in volunteering trips abroad for an average of two weeks. These young people are joined by 4-5 young people from 3-4 other nationalities and are a wonderful intercultural experience in a safe environment. Example Youth Exchanges: Youth Exchange 1 Location: Ireland Other nationalities: Ireland, Spain, Italy, Hungary Theme: Focuses on the topic of community reconstruction and community activities—exploring howlocal issues facing our communities are connected to global issues. The group will also learn about the eco-village as an example of a community and take part in team-building activities. Youth Exchange 2 Location: France Other nationalities: Bulgaria, Italy, France 2
Theme: Organic gardening & continual living. This project will take place in a natural park, where the group will take part in gardening activities and games／workshops about continuous development. Youth Exchange 3 Location: Macedonia Other nationalities: Serbia, Turkey, Ireland Theme: Foster social inclusion and motivate personal development of young people through sports and outdoor activities. Promote outdoor activities as a tool to help inclusion of young people with fewer opportunities. Youth Exchange 4 Location: Italy Other nationalities: Italy, Bulgaria, Greece Theme: A social-environmental project that intends to promote social inclusion and continuable development, regarded as a process of civil rights and active citizenship. Over 10 days, the group will participate in activities to raise awareness about the effect of our behavior on the environment. 21.What do you focus on when travelling in France? A. Gardening work． B. Civil rights． C. Developing social inclusion． D. Rebuilding communities． 22.If you are interested in protecting the environment，you can take part in ________. A . Youth Exchange 1 B. Youth Exchange 2 C. Youth Exchange 3 D. Youth Exchange 4 23.Which nationality are Youth Exchanges most popular with? A. Spain B. Italy C. Ireland D. France B I live in Minnesota,which is unfairly famous for terrible winters. Buffalo is far more wintry,whereas Seattle’s winters are more bitter. Our winters tend to be brilliantly sunny and cheerful. But,of course, it’s different for a visitor. Lightweight thermal (保暖的) wear is good. Back in the day,we wore layers and layers of heavy woolens. A boy of 13 carrying 35 pounds of wet wool on his back does not feel very cold. Today you can buy outfits filled with goose feathers as well as thermal boots 3
and caps to keep you warm. When I was a youth,there was no such phrase as global warming. We never got warm,not even at night,when we slept under piles of blankets because Dad believed that if you couldn’t see your breath when you talked,then the thermostat was turned up too high and you were wasting fuel. So 45 degrees was room temperature,and we wore long woolens to bed. We arose in the cold,dark dawn,and walked forth into the snowstorm to catch the school bus. We huddled(蜷缩) by the highway,praying for the bus to come,while wolves moved around eyeballing us for signs of sleepiness. When you have survived wolves,then the winters of today are a walk in the park. Enduring winter is only a start — embracing（拥抱）winter is what you should struggle for. Winter gives a sense of purpose and saves one from a life of self-gratification(自我满足）,lying down and posting photos on Facebook. You have promises to keep. A sidewalk to clear. Two inches of snow over a layer of ice — you may as well set a leg trap for the elderly as leaving the walk unswept. You have children to raise. Remove their fingers from their smart phones,and lead them outdoors so they can absorb the wisdom of winter. We are animals. Life is not mainly about self-expression. It is about finding food and clothing and shelter,about sticking with the pack and not wandering off. Everyoneis just as cold as you. No complaining. 24. What are Minnesota's winters like in the author's eyes? A. They are wonderful. B. They are unbearable. C. They are colder than Buffalo’ s. D. They are comfortable for visitors. 25. When the author was young, ________. A. he kept talking to keep warm B. he suffered from winters’ nights C. his dad tried his best to warm him D. his room was always at a high temperature 26. The underlined part “the winters of today are a walk in the park” in Paragraph 4 implies that today's winters are ________. A. warm B. quiet C. short D. pleasant 27. The author suggests that people ________. A. store enough food for cold winters B. lend the neighbors a helping hand C. step outside and appreciate winters D. say goodbye to modern technology
广东省揭阳市2018年高三高考第二次模拟考试语文试题(含答案,word)
揭阳市2018年高中毕业班高考第二次模拟考试语文本试卷分第Ⅰ卷（阅读题）和第Ⅱ卷（表达题）两部分。
共10页，满分为150分。
考试时间150分钟。
第Ⅰ卷阅读题一、现代文阅读（35分）（一）论述类文本阅读（9分，每小题3分）阅读下面的文字，完成1-3题茶之于中国，就如同红酒之于法国，啤酒之于德国，茶是中国博大精深的历史文化中的璀璨瑰宝，也是中国的一张文化名片。
茶伴随中国的历史篇章缓缓展开，中国茶史可上溯至传说中的神农尝百草，当时茶被作为一味药，治疗各种疑难杂症。
到西汉时，茶已是宫廷及官宦人家的一种高雅消遣。
茶兴于唐，盛于宋，唐代饮茶蔚然成风，贡茶的出现加速了茶产业的发展，全国范围内茶铺、茶馆鳞次栉比，茶产业和茶文化空前发达。
陆羽撰《茶经》三卷，阐述茶之源、之具、之造、之器、之煮、之饮等林林总总，成为世界上第一部茶叶著作。
到了宋代，宫廷、地方官吏、文人雅士皆尚茶、崇茶，以相聚品茗为雅，进一步推动了饮茶之风的蔓延。
平民百姓也是不可一日无茶。
“茶之为用，等于米盐，不可一日无。
”这是宋代王安石对茶的赞美。
明清时期茶叶制作技术进一步发展，“作罢龙凤团”使散茶的生产规模进一步扩大，蒸青的制茶方法改为炒青，同时也推动了其他茶类的发展。
茶随着历朝历代的兴盛而兴盛，繁荣而繁荣。
茶与宗教的关系历来也相当密切，不难发现，很多名优茶都与宗教有一段渊源，很多茶最早也是由僧人所种植打理。
道教最早将茶作为得道成仙的重要辅助手段，视茶为长生不老的灵丹仙草。
佛家也偏爱茶，认为饮茶能“破睡”，帮助坐禅修行，还能清心寡欲、养气颐神。
故历古有“茶中有禅、茶禅一味”之说。
杭州龙井寺产龙井茶，余杭径山寺产径山茶，庐山招贤寺产庐山云雾茶，“名山有名寺，名寺有名茶”，一点都不为过。
茶也影响了各族人民乃至外国的文化及传统。
从广东人的早茶到北方人的大碗茶，到日本的日式茶道，抹茶文化及英国的英式下午茶。
千年来，茶文化传播到世界各国，与各地文化相融合，开枝散叶，浸润到生活的点点滴滴，形成了具有各国特色、形式丰富的全球茶文化。

AVisiting Joshua Tree National Park, CaliforniaJoshua Tree National Park is nearly 800,000 acres large and surrounds parts of the Mojave and Colorado Deserts in South-central California. Although barren at first glance, the park is full of wildlife and provides a variety of entertainment activities from hiking to climbing. Within a 3-hour drive, Joshua Tree National Park takes at least a full day to visit.Things to do●Hiking opportunities within the park include several choices, from 12self-guided nature trails to all-day back-country hikes.●Joshua Tree National Park has nine camping grounds, and back-country campingis also allowed.●Rock-climbing is a popular activity in the park, which has 10 mountains greaterthan 5,000 feet in height.When to visitJoshua Tree National Park is open 365 days a year, although the best time to visit is October through April, when temperature is milder. The peak season is when the wild flowers bloom, and summer months are the least crowded.What to bringIn addition to your camera and telescope, be sure to carry lots of water. Park andtrail maps can be picked up at any of the three visitor centres.Fees●Parking fees: You can buy a 7-day vehicle permit for $15, a single entry permitfor $5, or Joshua Tree National Park annual pass for $60.●Camping fees: They vary by camping ground.1.The underlined word “barren” in the first paragraph can be replaced by _______.A. thinB. beautifulC. desertedD. large2. When is the best time to visit Joshua Tree National Park?A. MarchB. MayC. JuneD. September3. If one goes to Joshua Tree National Park by car and stay there for 9 days, how much at least he should pay for the parking fees?A. $60B. $15C. $25D. $30BMy teacher, Mr. August J. Bachmann, was the most influential teacher I ever had.I had gotten into trouble in his class: Another student had pushed me for fun, and I became angry and began to hit him. Mr. Bachmann stopped the fight, but instead of sending me to the office, he sat me down and asked a simple question: "Penna, why are you wasting your life? Why aren't you going to college?"I didn't know anything about colleges or scholarships. No one had ever considered that a fatherless boy from the poorest neighborhood had a future. That day, instead of rushing off for lunch, he stayed and explained possible education options to me. At the end of our talk, he sent me to see a secretary who had a child at a state college. This was in 1962 at Emerson High School in Union City, New Jersey.Well, 53 years have passed, and what have I done with the knowledge he gave me? I gained a PhD from Fordham University when I was only 29. I taught English and social studies and then moved up the chain of command from teacher to principal.I've sat on the board for Magnet Schools of America and represented that organization at the United Nations. I've won a number of great educational awards. But where would I be if a truly caring teacher had not taken the time out of his lunch period to speak to me? It was without question only his confidence in me that helped me forward.I have repaid his kindness hundreds of times by encouraging misguided youngsters to aim higher. If I have saved any children, it is because of him. If I have been a successful educator, it is because I had a great role model in Mr. Bachmann.4. The writer ________ before Mr. Bachmann talked to him.A. was an active boyB. liked making troubles in classC. was an aimless boyD. would get punished by his teachers5. Which of the following best describes Mr. Bachmann?A. Fair.B. Confident.C. Inspiring.D. Humorous.6. How did Mr. Bachmann influence the writer?A. He set the writer on the right path.B. He tried to set a good example to the writer.C. He was strict with the writer.D. He helped the writer with his study.7. What does the writer think of his achievement?A. He is very proud of himself.B. He feels his effort gets paid off at last.C. He owes his achievement to Mr. Bachmann.D. He thinks it an honor to be a successful educator.CSee a cellphone cover that you like on Taobao? Forget about placing an order, paying t he bill online and waiting for days for it to be delivered to you. In the near future, you'll be able to get it in minutes just by hitting “print” on your computer.You might find it hard to believe that you could actually “print” an object like you would a picture. But it is not that hard to understand how it would work. Just as a traditional printer sprays ink onto paper line by line, modern 3D printers spread material onto a surface layer by layer, from the bottom to the top, gradually building up a shape.Instead of ink, the materials the 3D printer uses are mainly plastic, resin and certain metals. The thinner each layer is—from a millimetre to less than the width of a hair—the smoother and finer the object will be.This may sound like a completely new technology, but the truth is that 3D printing has been around since the late 1980s. Back then, it was barely affordable for most people, so few knew about it.Last year, though, saw a big change in the 3D printing industry—printers became much cheaper. For example, 10 years ago a desktop 3D printer might have cost ￡20,000, while now they cost only about ￡1,000, according to the BBC.Taken out of the factory and introduced to more diverse and com mon uses, 3D printing can create just about anything you can think of—flutes , bikinis, jewelry, aircraft parts and even human organs. In fact, scientists from Cornell University in New York have just made an artificial ear using a 3D printer, according to Science Daily. The fake ear looks and acts exactly like a natural one.However, as 3D printing becomes more common, it may bring about certain problems—such as piracy. “Once you can download a coffee maker, or print out a new set of kitchen utensils on your personal 3D printer, who will visit a retail store again？” an expert in 3D printing told Forbes News. Even more f rightening, what if anyone in the world could use a 3D printer to print out a fully functioning gun?8.According to the article, in the future, the 3D printing technology will _______.A. enable people to make better purchases onlineB. change the way we make many productsC. be applied as widely in our daily life as computersD. shorten the time it takes for people to get what they buy online9. What happened in the 3D printing industry last year?A. The 3D printing technology was taken out of the factory.B. The 3D printing technology began to be used in various fields.C. The 3D printer was used for medical treatment for the first time.D. The 3D printer became more affordable for consumers.10. How is the last paragraph developed?A. By giving examples.B. By making comparisons.C. By analyzing the cause and effect.D. By presenting research findings.11. What is the best title of the passage?A. Great Demand for 3D PrintersB. Technology in the FutureC. Online Shopping DisappearingD. Printing out EverythingDWhether or not to go to university will probably be the biggest educational decision you ever make. After battling with student finance, deciding whether or not to take a year out can be as terrifying as deciding where to move to for the three years.Some students will have planned their year out for months, but, for others, slipped grades may force a gap year（间隔年）, either to retake exams or to apply to different universities. Others might just need time to think. Thankfully, for U.K. students, taking a gap year remains a good option and it can be one of the most productive and fulfilling years of their life.Whether you’ve planned and budgeted for a year abroad, or have made a last-minute decision to delay your first year, the options are endless. Traveling, volunteering and so on are all th ere for the talking. With so many things on offer, it’s important to remember that 12 months won’t be enough time to do all of them, so decide early and work towards making whatever you want to do a reality.Researching a gap year is exciting, and often the place t o start is at home. Family and friends can be a great source of inspiration. Your school or college might be fully equipped to advise you on what to do when further education is on hold. Don’t underestimate（低估）the power of the Internet, either. Typing a “gap year” into a search engine might seem too obvious, but planning to travel around the world for months on your own is not appropriate.To stay at home or go abroad is likely to be the first question you consider, but in this era of budget flights, doing both is practicable. A European inter-rail ticket （火车票）can be as little as £ 159. For those loving traveling, they must be on the special watchfulness for tricks in the process. Agencies can organize your year abroad for you, and often, it is more effective to make the bookings through the agencies. But flights and other forms of transport within Asia and America are much cheaper when bought in the countries rather than bought in advance.12. According to Paragraph 2, why do some students have to take a gap year?A. Because they are faced with financial problems.B. Because they dislike what they are learning .C. Because they haven’t got satisfying grades.D. Because they intend to hang out for a year.13. The underline words “on hold” in Paragra p h 4 mean “________”.A. taken inB. put offC. given upD. turned out14. What can we learn from the last paragraph?A. Few students can afford to go abroad.B. Traveling around Europe costs nothing.C. It’s better to go to Asia and south America.D. Travellers should make sure they aren’t cheated.15. The auther’s attitude towards a gap year may best described as__________A. supportiveB. negativeC. defensiveD. sensitive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，并在答题卡上将该选项涂黑。

AThe International Voluntary Service runs a number of Youth Exchanges throughout the year. Y outh Exchanges give small groups of 4-5 young people the opportunity to take part in volunteering trips abroad for an average of two weeks. These young people are joined by 4-5 young people from 3-4 other nationalities and are a wonderful intercultural experience in a safe environment.Example Y outh ExchangesYouth Exchange 1Location IrelandOther nationalities Ireland, Spain, Italy, HungaryTheme Focuses on the topic of community reconstruction and community activities—exploring how local issues facing our communities are connected to global issues.

Over 10 days, the group will participate in activities to raise awareness about the effect of our behavior on the environment.21.What do you focus on when travelling in France?A. Gardening work．B. Civil rights．C. Developing social inclusion．D. Rebuilding communities．22. If you are interested in protecting the environment，you can take part in ________.A . Youth Exchange 1 B. Youth Exchange 2C. Youth Exchange 3D. Youth Exchange 423.Which nationality are Y outh Exchanges most popular with?A. SpainB. ItalyC. IrelandD. FranceBI live in Minnesota, which is unfairly famous for terrible winters. Buffalo is far more wintry, whereas Seattle’s winters are more bitter. Our winters tend to be brilliantly sunny and cheerful. But, of course, it’s different for a visitor.Lightweight thermal (保暖的) wear is good. Back in the day, we wore layers and layers of heavy woolens. A boy of 13 carrying 35 pounds of wet wool on his back does not feel very cold. Today you can buy outfits filled with goose feathers as well as thermal boots and caps to keep you warm.When I was a youth, there was no such phrase as global warming. We never got warm, not even at night, when we slept under piles of blankets because Dad believed that if you couldn’t see your breath when you talked, then the thermostat was turned up too high and you were wasting fuel. So 45 degrees was room temperature, and we wore long woolens to bed.We arose in the cold, dark dawn,and walked forth into the snowstorm to catch the school bus. We huddled (蜷缩) by the highway, praying for the bus to come, while wolves moved around eyeballing us for signs of sleepiness. When you have survived wolves, then the winters of today are a walk in the park.Enduring winter is only a start — embracing（拥抱）winter is what you should struggle for. Winter gives a sense of purpose and saves one from a life of self-gratification(自我满足）, lying down and posting photos on Facebook. You have promises to keep. A sidewalk to clear. Two inches of snow over a layer of ice — you may as well set a leg trap for the elderly as leaving the walk unswept.You have children to raise. Remove their fingers from their smart phones, and lead them outdoors so they can absorb the wisdom of winter. We are animals. Life is not mainly about self-expression. It is about finding food and clothing and shelter, about sticking with the pack and not wandering off. Everyone is just as cold as you. No complaining.24. What are Minnesota's winters like in the author's eyes?A. They are wonderful.B. They are unbearable.C. They are colder than Buffalo’ s.D. They are comfortable for visitors.25. When the author was young, ________.A. he kept talking to keep warmB. he suffered from winters’ nightsC. his dad tried his best to warm himD. his room was always at a high temperature26. The underlined part “the winters of today are a walk in the park” in Paragraph 4 implies that today's winters are ________.A. warmB. quietC. shortD. pleasant27. The author suggests that people ________.A. store enough food for cold wintersB. lend the neighbors a helping handC. step outside and appreciate wintersD. say goodbye to modern technologyCYou might not realize just how much work goes into making a newspaper. Apart from searching for a good story and the endless editing required to correct mistakes, copy editors need to make sure that everything fits perfectly. A good headline tells as much as possible in a short space. There never seems to be quite enough space to express completely what you want to say.News headlines often focus on the central and most important new information. The relevantly insignificant information might be left out in order to stress the main idea or just to be brief. News headline s are featured by the vivid language. They add something special to attract readers’ eyes. Because the headline aims to describe the main focus of the story in six or seven words, every word counts and accuracy is decisive. For instance, “stab” (刺杀) is a better verb than “kill” because it tells the reader how the criminal did his deed; similarly, “Toyota” is a better noun than “car”. But the make of a good headline is not characterized necessarily by the amount of information in it. For instance, the front-page headline on the Los Angeles Times on September 11—the day New York’s World Trade Center was attacked—simply read “TERROR STRIES”, all in capitals（大写字母）. While these two words do not describe how, where or why the buildings were attacked, they were accompanied by a half-page photo that captured(捕捉) the event in which around 3,000 people lost their lives.28. What is vital in making news besides a good story and perfect edition?A. An appropriate headline.B. A capital headline.C. Vivid language.D. A brief report.29. News headlines should be ________.A. attractiveB. countableC. insignificantD. long enough30. The underlined word “they” in the last paragraph refers to ________.A. the buildingsB. the two wordsC. the peopleD. the twin towers31. The example of “TERROR STRIES” is used to support the view that ________.A. a good headline tells as much as possible in a short spaceB. news headines often focus on the central and most important news informationC. a good headline is not marked necessarily by the amount of information in itD. news headlines are featured by the vivid languageDWhenever we see a button, we want to press it because we know that something will happen. This is true in most cases, for example, on a doorbell. But some buttons are actually fake(假的), like the “close” button on a lift.Many people are in the habit of pressing the “close” button because they don’t have the patience to wait for the lift doors to shut. But lif ts’ “close” buttons are a complete trick, at least in the US－ the doors will not close any faster no matter how hard you press.It started in the 1990s when the Americans with Disabilities Act was passed in the US, making sure that all lifts stayed open long enough so that people with disabilities could enter. Only US firefighters andrepairmen can use the buttons to speed up the door-closing process if they have a code or special keys.But to normal lift riders, the buttons aren’t completely usele ss. According to psychologists, fake buttons can actually make you feel better by offering you a sense of control.“A sense of control is very important. It reduces stress and increases well-being,” said Ellen J. Langer, a psychology professor at Har vard University. Experts also added that a lot of buttons that don’t do anything exist in our lives for this same purpose.For example, pedestrian crosswalk buttons don’t live up to their names either. Pressing them used to help make the traffic signals change faster, but that was before computer controlled traffic signals were introduced.But psychologists found it interesting that even when people are aware of these little “white lies”, they still continue to push fake buttons because as long as the doors eventually close, it is considered to be worth the effort.32. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?A. To explore the functions of fake buttons.B. To describe different buttons.C. To analyze various habits of pushing buttons.D. To explain the advantages and disadvantages of fake buttons.33. What can we learn about the “close” buttons on a lift in America?A. They work when people press them hard.B. They were designed only for a sense of control.C. They never speed up the door-closing process.D. They take the safety of the disabled into account.34. What can we infer about pedestrian crosswalk buttons?A. They can make people feel better.B. They help computers work faster.C. They can control the traffic signals.D. They help pedestrians cross quickly.35. Which may be the best title for the passage?A. Buttons in the USA.B. Buttons Always Lie.C. Buttons May not Work.D. “Close” Buttons on Lifts.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。

Although my long-term evaluation was good, I, who had been so fiercely independent, rapidly became absolutely helpless.My husband, Scott, stepped up to the plate, taking care of kids and cooking dinners. He also became my personal caretaker, applying the medicine to all of my blisters because my hands couldn’t do the job. Needless to say, I had negative emotions, bouncing from embarrassment to shame caused by total reliance on someone other than myself.I recovered from my illness, but I couldn’t seem to recover from the thought that I loved my husband less than he loved me. This seeming distinction in our love continued to annoy me for the year following my illness.Then recently Scott and I went on a long bike ride. He’s an experienced cyclist; I’m quite the green hand. At one point with a strong headwind and sharp pain building in my tired legs, I really thought I couldn’t go any further. Seeing me struggle, Scott pulled in front of me and y elled over his shoulder, “Stay close behind me.” As I followed his steps, I discovered that my legs quit burning and I was able to catch my breath. My husband was pulling me along—again.I pray my husband will always be strong and healthy. But if he should ever become the struggling one, whether on a bike ride or with an illness, I trust I’ll be ready to call out to him, “Stay close behind me—my turn to pull you along.”24. The author felt helpless because _________.A. She lost the previous independenceB. She failed to get the medical treatmentC. Her marriage was in a terrible stateD. She suffered from mental disorder25. Which of the following best describes the author’s husband according to Paragraph 2?A. Impatient.B. Independent.C. Family-centered.D. Career-centered.26.

What message does the author convey in the passage?A. Strong will.B. Selfless love.C. Reliance on each other.D. Optimistic attitude to life.CTudor Cobalas nearly crashed his car while driving and texting on his phone. It was this near-death experience that inspired him to turn the smartphone from a weapon of mass distraction into a tool for safer driving.Mr. Cobalas developed Safe Drive, an app that rewards drivers for ignoring their phones while driving. Once a driver drives too fast, the app launches a “Release” button on the screen, effectively locking the phone. Driving without checking the phone generates scores that can be turned into shopping discounts in the Safe Drive Marketplace.It’s a simple idea that has attracted nearly 100,000 us ers globally and 30 commercial partners. Worldwide, about 1.25 million people die each year as a result of road traffic accidents, according to the World Health Organization. “Smartphone distraction” is blamed for an increasing number of accidents. Drivers using a mobile phone are four times more likely to be involved in a crash. Many parents also want to educate their children, young drivers. That is why a growing number of technology businessmen are trying to handle the problem.“Although smartphones are rightly blamed for an increase in distracted driving, we wanted to show that smartphones could be used to make drivers better,” says Hari Balakrishnan, chief technology officer of Cambridge Mobile Telematics, a US company that has developed an app called Drive Well.The app measures all aspects of driving such as hard braking, abrupt acceleration, sharp cornering and speeding. But it also monitors how often drivers are distracted by their phones and generates a “safety score” at the end of each trip. The fr ee app features competition leader boards that enable drivers to compete with their friends, family and colleagues, as well as personalized safer driving tips. Good safety scores can earn drivers discounts on car insurance, Mr. Balakrishnan says.Last yea r the company started a competition to find Boston’s safest driver. Nearly 5,000 people have signed up, and 98 have been awarded more than $3,400 in prizes. Data from 40,000 Drive Well app users around the world present its effectiveness, says Mr. Madden.28. What caused Tudor Cobalas to develop the app Safe Drive?A. Multi-functions of this app.B. His desire to make a fortune.C. Many parents’ worries about teenagers’ driving safety.D. His own experience about being distracted by his smartphone.29. What do Safe Drive and Drive Well have in common?A. They keep a specific record of hard braking.B. They fail to help decrease the number of traffic accidents.C. Their users get some scores in the driving process.D. Their users get money as a reward directly.30.Which of the following is closest to the meaning of the underlined word “distracted”in paragraph 4 ?cking concentration.B. Lacking confidence.C. Speedy.D. Dangerous.31. What is the purpose of the passage?A. To present the harmful effects of smartphones in the driving process.B. To introduce some useful apps that can guarantee our safety.C. To compare different types of apps concerning driving safety.D. To show us smartphones can make drivers safer in a way.DScientists have found living organisms trapped in crystals（晶体）that could be 50,000 years old.The organisms were found in a hot, but beautiful cave system in Naica, Mexico. These ancient life forms can be seen only with a microscope. Penelope Boston, who leads the Astrobiology Institute at NASA, the space agency of the United States, says the ancient microbes were able to live by eating minerals such as iron.She spoke about the discovery recently at a meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science. If the findings are confirmed, they will show how microbes can survive in extreme conditions. Forty different kinds of microbes and some viruses were found in the underground area. The genetic structures of these organisms are 10 percent different from those of their nearest relatives.The caves in Naica are 800 kilometers deep. They were once used for mining lead. Before the miners began working in the caves, the area was separated from the surface and the outside world. Some of the caves are as big as the large religious centers built during Europe's Middle Ages. There are crystals covering the walls. The caves are so hot that scientists must wear special clothing to keep cool. The clothing keeps the crystals safe from human germs（病菌）or other damage. Boston said the researchers could only work for about 20 minutes at a time before they had to go to a room that was 38 degrees Celsius to cool down.NASA officials would not let Boston share her findings with scientific experts before last week's announcement. So scientists could not say much about the findings. But Norine Noonan, a biologist with the University of South Florida, said she believed them. "Why are we surprised?" Noonan asked. "As a biologist, I would say life on Earth is extremely tough and extremely colorful."Boston is also studying microbes commonly found inside caves in other countries, such as Ukraine and the United States. These microbes appear to be impossible to kill. Boston said they show how difficult life on Earth can be.32. The existence of the ancient microbes relies on _______.A. surrounding insectsB. diverse plantsC. eating mineralsD. absorbing air33.What can we infer about the caves in Naica from the passage?A. The temperature in the caves is quite low.B. The caves have been explored since they were formed.C. The walls are covered by crystals.D. The environment in the caves is difficult to adapt to.34. What is the biologist Norine Noonan’s attitude towards the findings?A. Neutral.B. Positive.C. Doubtful.D. Indifferent.35. What’s the main idea of the passage?A. Living organisms bring hope to scientific research.B. Scientists Discover 50,000-year-old “super life” in Mexico.C. Microbes show great power to survive in terrible conditions.D. Caves provide living environment for living organisms.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。

Just before Christmas 1978, Kenneth was a passenger in a car as it drove through the Navajo Nation．The night was dark, and the driver, an elderly woman, 1 and killed an eight-year-old boy．Later, when he saw how sad the boy’s family were, Kenneth made a（n） 2 ．He would “do whatever it takes to make 3 happy at Christmas time.”A year later, at the age of 18, he was living with his mother and younger brother. They were hardly making ends meet on his low wages, but Kenneth bought a used Santa suit and went around 4people as poor as himself to give candy and fruit for families even more needy．Just before midnight on Christmas Eve, he went knocking on doors of 5 houses in the poorest section of the Navajo Nation. Many of the darkened homes didn’t have 6 .Some families were 7 to open their doors so late at night. “It’s a man!

茶伴随中国的历史篇章缓缓展开，中国茶史可上溯至传说中的神农尝百草，当时茶被作为一味药，治疗各种疑难杂症。
到西汉时，茶已是宫廷及官宦人家的一种高雅消遣。
茶兴于唐，盛于宋，唐代饮茶蔚然成风，贡茶的出现加速了茶产业的发展，全国范围内茶铺、茶馆鳞次栉比，茶产业和茶文化空前发达。
陆羽撰《茶经》三卷，阐述茶之源、之具、之造、之器、之煮、之饮等林林总总，成为世界上第一部茶叶著作。
到了宋代，宫廷、地方官吏、文人雅士皆尚茶、崇茶，以相聚品茗为雅，进一步推动了饮茶之风的蔓延。
平民百姓也是不可一日无茶。
“茶之为用，等于米盐，不可一日无。
”这是宋代王安石对茶的赞美。
明清时期茶叶制作技术进一步发展，“作罢龙凤团”使散茶的生产规模进一步扩大，蒸青的制茶方法改为炒青，同时也推动了其他茶类的发展。
茶随着历朝历代的兴盛而兴盛，繁荣而繁荣。
茶与宗教的关系历来也相当密切，不难发现，很多名优茶都与宗教有一段渊源，很多茶最早也是由僧人所种植打理。
道教最早将茶作为得道成仙的重要辅助手段，视茶为长生不老的灵丹仙草。
佛家也偏爱茶，认为饮茶能“破睡”，帮助坐禅修行，还能清心寡欲、养气颐神。
故历古有“茶中有禅、茶禅一味”之说。
杭州龙井寺产龙井茶，余杭径山寺产径山茶，庐山招贤寺产庐山云雾茶，“名山有名寺，名寺有名茶”，一点都不为过。
茶也影响了各族人民乃至外国的文化及传统。
从广东人的早茶到北方人的大碗茶，到日本的日式茶道，抹茶文化及英国的英式下午茶。
千年来，茶文化传播到世界各国，与各地文化相融合，开枝散叶，浸润到生活的点点滴滴，形成了具有各国特色、形式丰富的全球茶文化。
中华上下五千年文明史，经历了历朝历代的更迭。
与其同寿的茶，用自己独特的方式，记录着中国的一山一水，一草一木。
