高三英语周测(三)

高三英语周测(三) 第一部分 阅读理解(每小题3分,只有13题4分,满分40分) A Just a few years out of law school, I decided that I wanted to write fictions. The only thing I had ever published before was a law-review article. I had made great efforts to write when I came home at night after work, but I was too tired. I decided to quit my job. I began my new life on a February morning. I sat down at my kitchen table at 7:30 am and made a resolution. Every day I would write until lunchtime. Then I would lie down on the floor for 20 minutes to rest my mind. After that, I would return to work for a few more hours. In my first year, I sold two stories. Then I wrote a novel, but I thought it wasn’t good enough, so I ended up putting it in a drawer. My second novel, Billy Lynn’s Long Halftime Walk, was published to glowing reviews and received the National Book Critics Circle Award for fiction. My success sounds like a familiar story, but actually it was far from sudden. I quit my job, and for every story I published in those years, I had at least 30 rejections. The novel that I put away in the drawer took my four years. My breakthrough came in 2006, 18 years after I first sat down to write at my kitchen table. Sometimes genius (天才) is just the thing that comes out after 20 years of working at your kitchen. Also, doing something truly creative requires the energy of youth. Orson Welles made his masterpiece, Citizen Kan, at 25. T. S. Eliot wrote The Love Song of J. Afred Prufrock at 23. 1. When did the author decide to devote himself to writing fictions? A. When he was tired from his work. B. Straight after graduation from law school. C. On being informed his law-review article came out. D. When his hobby was disturbed by his work. 2. We can infer from the second paragraph that the author . A. led a wealthy life B. arranged his life reasonably C. was too diligent to relax himself D. remained single 3. What does the author mainly intend to tell us in this passage? A. Failure is the mother of success. B. A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush. C. It is never too old to learn. D. It is the first step that costs troublesome. 4. Why did the author give the example of Orson Welles and T. S. Eliot? A. To make a comparison between them and himself. B. To show creativity needs energy and efforts. C. To persuade the readers of their great talents. D. To recommend their two masterpieces. B Amazing concept images have shown what homes of the future could look like, as preparations are made for the world’s first freefrom 3D-printed property (房产). Experts will build a house called Curve Appeal, which will be 3D-printed off-site before being put together on-site to create two outside walls, a roof and an inside part. These four main sections will then be joined together. Although 3D-printed buildings have been made before, this home - to be constructed in Chattanooga, Tennessee, later this year — will be the first of its kind, as it will contain no regular shapes or angles. The house is the creation of the design company WATG, based in London and California. The design for Curve Appeal draws inspiration from the Case Study House program. The architects leading the program were famed for constantly pushing the limits in terms of minimalist (极简主义) materials, and trying to create open-plan spaces that focused on enhancing (增强) natural light. In a written statement, a spokesman for WATG said, “Employing many of the same modem design principles, Curve Appeal is the next evolutionary step. It’s important that the architecture and the environment work together harmoniously. The chosen site is steps away from the Tennessee River in a beautiful wooded, sunlit area.” WATG was awarded the first prize in the Freeform Home Design Challenge in 2016 and given prize money of $ 8,000 to make its plans a reality. The competition was aimed at architects, designers, engineers and artists. Participants were challenged to design a 600 to 800sq ft single-family home that rethinks traditional aesthetics (美学), ergonomics, construction, building systems and structure. Over the last year, WATG’s Chicago office has been developing their design with Branch Technology. This project is currently underway, working towards breaking ground later this year. Once completed, the Curve Appeal home will have open and light-filled inside living spaces. 5. From the passage we can know that Curve Apple________ . A. will be different from an ordinary house B. is the first 3D-printed building C. has apparent walls and a roof D. was ever built in the world 6. Where is the architect located according to Paragraph 4? A. Far away from the Tennessee River. B. In the woods near the Tennessee River. C. Between the Tennessee River and the woods. D. Next to some modem architectures. 7. What does the Freeform Home Design Challenge do? A. It motivates participants to design at random. B. It emphasizes traditions rather than modernization. C. It sponsors competitors when necessary. D. It helps put creative ideas into practice. 8. What’s the passage mainly about? A. What our homes will look like in the future. B. The Freeform Home Design Challenge. C. The world’s first freeform 3D-printed house. D. The development of 3D in architecture.

高三英语复习教案(15篇)

高三英语复习教案(15篇)高三英语复习教案(15篇)教案能够帮助教师提前预测学生可能遇到的问题,并做好解决方案。

下面是小编为大家整理的高三英语复习教案,如果大家喜欢可以分享给身边的朋友。

高三英语复习教案精选篇1一、指导思想根据英语教学规律,以新课程标准为准绳,以《河南省新课程考试说明》为依据,以巩固和落实基础知识为中心,以培养和读写能力为重点,反对低层次的重复操练,代之以阅读能力培养为主线,突破词汇学习,联系学生的实际情况,充分发挥学生潜能,关注学生非智力因素,调动学生学习积极性,扎扎实实抓好双基,通过综合训练,培养学生运用知识的能力,努力提高学生的综合素质和解题技巧,以适应新课标的高考要求。

二、学情分析1、本届学生18个应届班,学生1100多人,学生英语科底子薄,水平参差不齐。

2、新教材的词汇量大,内容多,相对而言高一、高二的教学课时与兄弟学校相比,不多。

加之,教材推进得比较快(尤其是高二),部分学生基础知识掌握得不够好,单词遗忘得很多。

3、学生写作训练不够。

高一、高二两年几乎没有写作训练,而写作在高考中占有很大的比例,但这却是我校学生的薄弱环节。

三、复习计划第一阶段:第一轮复习(20__年8月27日—20__年2月下旬)这一阶段为1~8模块的复习。

第一轮复习的宗旨:以本为本,夯实基础,适度提高能力。

第一轮复习教学以抓“双基”为主,完成知识的原始积累,把模块中的语言知识和语法项目进行比较、重组、总结,努力帮助学生输理知识结构,建立知识网络,掌握基本语法规则,打好扎实的语言基础。

复习时应充分发挥学生的主体作用。

精选一轮复习资料,一单元一案,每单元4x5课时,每周一次拓展练习。

注重阅读训练,2—3篇/日;强化书面表达训练,1篇/周(25分钟左右);书面表达常用的词、短语、句子记录背诵。

每天有一定量的词汇要求学生记忆,保证学生早、晚每次10分钟,重复记忆(要背诵的词、短语、句子列在平时的练习中)。

计划至20__年2月下旬结束第一轮复习。

2025年高三下学期英语教学计划

2025年高三下学期英语教学计划

2025年高三下学期英语教学计划2025年高三下学期英语教学计划(精选11篇)2024年高三下学期英语教学计划篇1一、教学目标提高本届高三英语的教学质量,与年级组团队一起努力,实现821预定目标。

二、学情分析及教学工作安排目前我们高三年级共有20个班,6个文科班,14个理科班,其中1、2、4班为理科实验班,3班为文科实验班,五班为宏志班(理科),其余为普通班。

主要问题表现在:学生的英语成绩参差不齐,不同班级之间有差距,相同班级内学生英语成绩也很悬殊;不少学生词汇量较小,语法基础薄弱,尤其是写作能力差,少数学生因英语拖腿而感觉升学无望并产生厌学情绪。

根据学校要求并结合实际情况,我们把英语学科所承担的任务分解细化,以便更好的完成本届高三英语教学任务和整体提高高三英语教学质量。

具体工作安排如下:1.保质保量做好集体备课认真学习研究新《课程标准》和《考试大纲》以及安徽省高考《考试说明》,不断关注高考新动向,对近五年安徽省高考真题进行分析总结,把握好高三阶段的教学方向,并结合所教班级实际情况进行适时调整。

根据学校及年级组安排,我们备课组要做到:统一资料,同一内容,统一进度,统一检测;集体研讨,互通有无,取长补短;命制试题,批阅试卷,分工合作,相互配合,使得教学前、中、后更加充实、完善和有序。

2.复习内容与资料本届高三我们选用《优化探究》系列一轮辅导用书和《英语周报》。

我们认为练习题不仅要有数量的保证,更要确保质量;选的题目应该具有典型性、代表性、规律性,能帮助学生通过做题建构知识体系,领悟内在的规律,以一顶三。

教师要精讲,讲重点的问题、疑难的问题、共性的问题,并引导学生思考、整理、归纳、消化,然后加以巩固。

一轮复习重点应该是课本复习,关键是解决学生在平时学习中遗留下来的问题,努力帮助学生构建以课本知识为核心学科知识体系,包括每单元的词汇、句型、语法、话题、功能、写作,其中前三项是重点,最终目的是帮助学生提高综合语言运用能力。

2021版高考英语(人教版)一轮复习课后达标检测:必修5 3 Unit 3 Life in the future Word版含答案

(建议用时:50分钟)Ⅰ.阅读理解A(2020·河南适应性测试)Every year between May and September, all54 employees of Basecamp, a Chicago­based web application company,have a short work week: just four days—a total of 32 hours. Also, theyusually work five days a week for the rest of the year.“That’s plenty of time to get great work done. This is all we expectand all we want from people,”says Jason Fried, a co­founder.“Working 50-,60­,or 70­plus hours is unnecessary. In fact, if you have to work 50­,60­,or 70­plus hours a week, there’s a management problem.”The company’s summer workload must fit reduced hours, Mr.Fried insists, otherwise the benefits of a shorter week—to recover from work, enjoy time with family and pursue(追求) outside interests—would be undone.His new research finds that it is not just long hours that are harmful to employees’physical and mental health. It is also the intensity(强度) of work. Moreover, it suggests that intense work harms career prospects. That is because unbearable hours and intensity are in the opposite direction, reducing the quality of the work.The research concludes that the level of intensity we apply to the work we do is generally “a stronger predictor of unfavorable outcomes than overtime work”.The research compared people of similar jobs and education levels, and found they were more likely to suffer poorer happiness and worse career prospects, including satisfaction, security and promotion, when they worked at an intense level for long periods.【解题导语】本文以一家总部位于芝加哥的网络应用公司Basecamp的54名员工将近半年时间每周只工作4天,共32小时的情况为例说明了较短的工作周有益于人们的身心健康,并以一项研究来证明。

北师大版高三英语选择性必修第三册(2020版_U9_L3_Epidemics_Explain参考译文

北师大版高三英语选择性必修第三册(2020版_U9_L3_Epidemics_Explain参考译文

Unit9 Lesson3 Epidemics Explained 参考译文第三课流行病探因流行病是指在短时间内(通常两周或更短)迅速在大量人群中传播的传染性疾病。

自地球上有人类生活以来,流行病就一直存在。

它们可能由不同因素引起,例如病毒被带入某个地区,或者由于人们生活方式的改变,比如说某一地区居住的人群增多,从而增加了接触细菌或病毒的几率。

只有致死病例达到一定数量,某种疾病才会被正式定性为流行病。

每种疾病的死亡数量各不相同。

罕见疾病的基线很低,即使某一地区只出现少数病例,也会被认定为是流行病;与此相反,常见疾病的基线较高,如流感。

普通感冒由一种广泛传播的病毒引起,可感染数百万人,但它并没严重到可以被称为流行病。

最近有新闻报道,吉姆·史密斯将禽流感和过去致命的流行病做对比,在屡屡令人感到沮丧的流行病史中寻找线索,从而创造一个远离流行病的美好未来。

禽流感自1997 年首次出现以来,已经夺去了一百多人的生命。

科学家们仔细研究了1918 年西班牙流感死亡者尸体的组织样本,证明禽流感是该病毒的现代变异版本,许多人担心它可能会引起下一场全球流行病。

人类有记载的最早的流行病,大约发生在公元500 年至550 年之间。

现今科学家估计,发病区域多达50% 的人口死于这一流行病,成为罗马帝国衰落的一个主要原因。

接着,14 世纪30 年代,这一流行病又卷土重来,这次发生在亚洲,并迅速传播到欧洲。

由于患者身上会出现明显的黑斑症状,这种流行病被称为“黑死病”。

几个世纪后,第一次世界大战快结束时爆发了1918 年大流感,又称西班牙流感。

刚刚熬过战争的人们现在不得不埋葬他们死于疾病的亲人。

战争引发的人口流动前所未有,从而导致这一流行病蔓延到全世界。

西班牙流感在18 个月内造成5000 万人死亡,成为历史上最严重的流行病。

死于该病的人比死于战争的人还要多。

最初,人们以为这种大规模流行病不会再对人类构成威胁,直至非典出现,再次让全球陷入担忧。

高三英语教学反思个人总结(精选8篇)

高三英语教学反思个人总结(8篇)高三英语教学反思个人总结(篇1)20__年—20__年上学期,本人这学期担任的是高一年级高一(3)、高一(4)两个班的英语教学工作,每周的课时是5节,两个班共十节。

在教学方面,本人能够认真的备课,仔细的批改作业,热情的尽量上好每一节课,争取在四十分钟里照顾到每个学生,最大程度的提高学生的英语水平。

此刻把教学工作详细总结如下:首先,仔细的备好每一节课。

针对高一(3)、高一(4)、两个班英语基础上的不一样,每节课在准备的时候都要有所侧重,对于四班不仅仅要强调基础更要加强灵活运用的训练,而三班则把重点都集中在基础知识上,把短语句型以及语法点讲清楚,让学生都弄明白。

在备课过程中的有所差别,保证了英语课更强的针对性和教学目标的完成。

第二,认真上好每一节课。

每节课上经过做很多的练习,讲解,提问,小黑板等方式,使学生们在作题的过程中掌握新知识,并能巩固原先学过的语法点,循序渐进的把英语知识,英国文化传播开来,增加学生们对英语学习的兴趣,从而不一样程度的提高其英语水平。

第三,细心批改作业,经过小测试等不断促使学生总结学习中的经验。

及时的批改每一天的作业,并立即将学生掌握的情景反馈到第二节的教学中去,这样有利于学生迅速的纠正自我新知识上的错误,巩固教学效果。

第四,经常虚心的去听其他教师的英语课,不断学习好的方法和经验。

并把所学的新东西及时运用于下一节课里,不断提高自我的教学水平。

第五,对于一些基础差,学习新知识有困难的需要帮忙的同学进行辅导。

利用自我的闲暇时间以及晚自习,给一些英语基础差,学习新知识有困难的同学补习初中英语语法知识等,帮忙他们更好的学习高一的英语课程。

第六,经常向同学们介绍一些好的英文电影,英文书籍,英文音乐等,扩大学生们的视野,增强的英语的兴趣,此外还经常在课堂中介绍高考的趋势和动向,使学生树立良好的学习方向。

2023-2024学年上海延安中学高三英语第一学期周测一I.Listening comprehension(略)II.Grammar and Vocabulary(30分)Section ADirections:After reading the passages below,fill in the blanks to make the passages coherent and grammatically correct.For the blanks with a given word,fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word;for the other blanks,use one word that best fits each blank.(A)Left brain,meet right brain.Go forth and prosper.That could be the new formula for a successful career.The human brain,that extraordinary computer,is divided into two hemispheres, ____21____responsible for different skill sets.The left brain is popularly associated with logic and analytic thought;the right,with intuition and creativity.But many of the good jobs of the future,according to some employment experts,will require being good at using both sides of the brain.Burning Glass Technologies,a labor-market analytics firm in Boston,came up with the term "hybrid jobs"to describe the positions,which require skills not normally found together.For example,these hybrid jobs might require people____22____skills in data science and advertising,or engineering and sales.In its report,Burning Glass also differentiated between jobs that require lower and higher levels of hybridization,based mainly on the number of different skills required outside of a role's traditional requirements and____23____specialized or sophisticated those skills are.____24____Burning Glass forecasts overall job growth of about10%between2018and 2028,the Ann expects jobs that are the most hybridized____25____(grow)by21percent.What’s more,hybrid jobs pay more than positions that call for a traditional constellation(一系列相关想法或事物)of skills.For those____26____start out on the technical side the payoff for adding social or creative skills can also be large.For instance,an engineer who sharpens his or her sales skills and becomes a consulting engineer for software company working closely with business clients,____27____more than double his or her earnings.People who fail to update their skills will qualify for fewer jobs.People in hybrid jobs arealso____28____(likely)to become professionally eliminated.Highly hybridized jobs have only 12percent risk of being automated____29____(compare)with a42percent risk for jobs overall, says Binning Glass.Hybrid jobs are typically not entry-level roles,so they are available mainly to workers who have some years of experience and crucially,additional training beyond college or____30____ associate degree that means workers,employers and educational institutions will have to figure out how to more systematically prepare individuals for these roles.(B)Facing ChallengesA couple of weeks ago,my grandfather was explaining his favorite expression,“Nothing is ever easy.”The following day,as I tried to complete my day's work,I happened(31)________ (notice)a bumblebee(大黄蜂)on the skylight(天窗).The skylight was particularly high up,but I thought removing the bee(32)________(take)no more than five minutes.An hour later,the bee still remained.What had changed was that the living room was a mess and(33)________I was dizzy from looking up into the sunlight I did not expect to waste an hour(34)________an insect so tiny,but by doing so,I understood what my grandfather meant.It is not only time that we tend to underestimate------we don’t account for unexpected costs. We often imagine what can work in our favor,but we seldom think of all the negative things(35) ________could affect us.However,it is important to remember that your day or week or year might not go(36)________planned,and that is completely normal.It is perfectly acceptable to feel challenged—even at a task you thought was simple—because that is part of life.If you can accept that nothing will ever be easy,then life might seem slightly(37) ________(manageable).In high school,I thought college might be easier because I could have a schedule best(38)________(suit)for myself Yet each time,1was both wrong and disappointed. After accepting that school wouldn't(and shouldn't)be easy,I found myself with a more positive attitude and improved results.Of course,there should be preparations made to account for expenses or time.Doing so can only help you accomplish your goals in a better way.However,there is no need to beat(39) ________up when something stands in our path.Maybe we cannot see a bee(40)________(come)our way;but we can always give ourselves the extra time to catch it.Section BDirections:Complete the following passage by using the words in the box.Each word can only be used once.Note that there is one word more than you need.A.posedB.concernC.demandingD.potentialE.vitalityF.primarilyG.vulnerableH.literallypetitiveJ.alarmingK.appliedFifteen years ago,road crews began planting crown vetch(小冠花)along newly constructed highways to prevent soil erosion.Crown vetch is an aggressive ground cover plant with appealing flowers.Road improvement scars were quickly covered and erosion was no longer a/an ____41____.Then planners discovered a/an____42____problem.Crown vetch didn’t like staying in one place.If left unchecked,it could change the nation’s landscape as we know it. Most people pay little attention to this plant.Motorist use these roadways to get to a destination quickly.However,crown vetch matures into an18-inch high creeping,____43____plant that grows in all climates—wet or dry,hot or cold.It____44____begin to take over a roadside and nearby land overwhelming any vegetation in its path,including small trees.If this would happen, even the most unobservant driver would begin to notice a sameness in the vegetation mile after mile.Eventually,motorists would complain,____45____that the government do something about the problem.If crown vetch really took hold in an area,local crops and gardens could be at risk.According to Art Gover of Pennsylvania State University,crown vetch sprouts(发芽)from rhizomes (underground root runners)and seeds,which makes it fast growing and difficult to eliminate.The rhizomes can be up to10feet in length.As a result,crown vetch could easily overwhelm backyard gardens or croplands near roadsides.To eliminate the problem,strong chemicals may have to be ____46____to an infested(大批滋生的)area.Unfortunately,chemicals could kill any nearby desirable plants or contaminate the soil.Otherwise,fires would have to be set in these areas year after year.The greatest danger____47____by crown vetch is its____48____to invade and destroyany prairie(牧场)habitats.Native prairie land is unique to interior parts of the United States, ____49____in the plain states.Most of the original prairie is gone,and crown vetch could threaten what remains.A prairie needs to maintain a special balance of native plants and animals, and the introduction of crown vetch into the area would certainly destroy that balance.Fires, historically caused by lightning storms,help maintain the health and____50____of the prairies. However,if crown vetch were in the area,the plant bums too quickly and without the necessary heat to aid in prairie regeneration.It would be a tragedy to lose what remains of the nation's prairie lands because of an invasive plant,such as crown vetch.III.Reading Comprehension(60分)Section 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.Only one class at Greendale High School let students dress up like singing candlesticks, carved rocks from foam,and play double-blind freeze.The class is Drama and Theatre,which is taught by Mr.Maclay.But it isn't all fun and games.The course also includes a____51____study of plays throughout time and____52____of how plays are put together.Drama and Theatre begins by____53____knowledge into students heads and ends by requiring students to pull out that knowledge onstage.The first half of the course____54____drama,which is the study of the history variety, and structure of plays.The course covers plays that range from ancient to modern,from classics by playwrights like Shakespeare and O'Neil to obscure(鲜为人知的)and____55____plays. Students learn to interpret drama,which is an essential skill for anyone in theatre.Actors and directors must interpret drama to give a/an authentic performance;technical people must interpret drama to design effective sets,lighting and sound;and theater managers and promoters must interpret drama to____56____shows and attract audiences.The second half of the course focuses on theater---which is the art of putting on a play. Students must complete projects in many areas of theatre production:lighting,set and costume design,makeup,stage management,directing,and acting.This requirement means that everyone learns what it is like for the other people involved in a production.Often,actors and crews hangtogether and____57____other groups in case of interference.By the time of our final production, our class was a____58____theatre group that worked well together under stress.The best feature of the class,____59____,is Mr.Maclay himself whose____60____of teaching and acting is expressed in the words of Polonius“To thine(古英语:你的)own self be true”(Hamlet1.3.78).Mr.Maclay has appeared in famous regional theaters and has performed with prestigious theatre companies.He has a wealth of knowledge and stories that he uses as he teaches.____61____,instead of simply saying that mistakes happen onstage,Mr.Maclay tells how he once____62____on his coat and almost knocked the other actor off the stage.His stories are educational,entertaining and inspirational.Mr.Maclay expects a great deal of himself and of his students and he inspires everyone to____63____to the challenge.Sometimes,however,Mr.Maclay's ambitions____64____his students'abilities.For example,he requires each student to memorize a Shakespearean soliloquy(独白)and recite it for the class.After the students nervously deliver their speeches,Mr.Maclay calls them up again to redeliver the soliloquies in different ways:as fast as possible,as loud as possible,sarcastically, with gestures for each word,like cartoon characters.Few students can meet this challenge. Overall,Drama and Theatre is a fascinating course.Mr.Maclay expects great things of his students,and most often students____65____themselves by meeting or exceeding his expectations.Even when Mr.Maclay pushes students beyond their abilities,they realize how much they need to learn.He teaches his students that“We are such stuff as dreams are made on”(The Tempest4.1.156).A.separateB.severeC.seriousD.secureA.assumptionB.analysisC.assemblyD.admissionA.pouringB.pullingC.pushingD.plungingA.is devoted toB.is committed toC.is adapted toD.is addicted to A.extraordinary B.extensive C.experimental D.expensiveA.performB.designC.writeD.scheduleA.concludeB.excludeC.includeD.precludeA.dark-horseB.white-faceC.double-dealerD.close-knitA.thoughB.thereforeC.whileD.thusA.psychologyB.philosophyC.procedureD.priorityA.By contrastB.For instanceC.What’s moreD.After allA.trippedB.putC.carriedD.focusedA.relateB.respondC.resolveD.riseA.underestimateB.overestimateC.exceedD.proceedA.enjoyB.behaveC.relaxD.surpriseDirections:Read the following three passages.Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements.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.(A)Sherlock Holmes once asked Dr Watson about“the curious incident of the dog in the night-time”.When Watson pointed out that the dog did nothing in the night-time,Holmes responded,“That was the curious incident”.In The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time,Mark Haddon introduces another detective obsessed with discovering the truth.Christopher is a fifteen year old autistic savant who has trouble understanding other people but knows every prime number(质数)up to7,057.The story begins when Christopher discovers a crime scene across the street:a dog named Wellington lies dead.When the dog's owner found him there,he was suspected and put to jail. After being got out by his father;he pledges to solve the mystery of its death.As Christopher investigates the killing,he is directly confronted with a deeper mystery: other human beings.Like most people with autism,Christopher has trouble reading single facial expressions.People are confusing to him.By contrast,he likes dogs because he can always tell what they are thinking.They have only four moods,happy,sad,cross and concentrating.And they don't lie since they can’t talk.Haddon deepens the theme of mystery by exploring the complexities of human language, For example,Christopher never lies.A lie means saying something happened that didn't happen and Christopher cannot see the point of it.For him,the only things worth speaking about are facts and mathematics.Christopher also doesn't understand jokes and metaphors,such as"apple of my eye".He writes,“When I try and make a picture of the phrase in my head,it just confuses mebecause imagining an apple in someone's eye doesn't have anything to do with liking someone a lot.Christopher's quest for truth leads him inevitably to discover even deeper mysteries.Two years before the beginning of the story,Christopher's mother died of a sudden heart attack.At that time,Mrs.Shears,the neighbor woman who owned Wellington became a family friend who helped him deal with their grief Her friendship with them ended on the night that Wellington was killed.But the question is whether the friendship ended because of the dog's death or the dog died because the friendship ended.As Christopher investigates,he strips away years'woith of lies and discovers the truth.At the beginning of the book,Christopher writes,"This is a murder mystery novel",but it is much more than that Haddon uses the theme of mystery to show how deeply mysterious human expressions,language and relationships are to a person with autism.At first,the book seems to show the limits of being autistic,but in the end,it shows the limits of being normal.Christopher himself describes it best in the final sentence of the book:"And I know I can do this because I went to London on my own,because I solved the mystery of Who Killed Wellington?...and l was brave and I wrote a book and that means I can do anything."66.What can we infer from the conversation between Sherlock Holmes and Dr.Watson?A.Holmes was curious about dogs,behavior at nightB.Dr.Watson was not as curious about dogs as Holmes.C.Dogs are usually alert and active in the night-time.D.The dog mentioned by them was already killed.67.Which description may confuse Christopher most?A.The boy is as tall as you.B.The boy is six feet tall.C.The girl often tell jokes.D.The girl has a heart of stone.68.According to the passage,which statement is NOT true?A.Autistic child as Christopher is,he has a talent for mathematics.pared to humans,dogs are more understandable to Christopher.C.Mrs.Shears suspected Christopher of killing the dog named Wellington.D.Christopher witnessed the killing crime of the dog named Wellington.69.What is the author's purpose in writing this passage?A.To provoke thought on“the limits of being normal”.B.To tell a story about the curious incident of a dog.C.To specify the trouble facing the autistic.D.To introduce the detection of an autistic savant(B)A Force-field Umbrella to Stop RainADRIENNE ANGELOS VIA FACEBOOKAn energy field that avoids your energy---or a downpour---would be neat.But given that it defies gravity,it belongs solely to the world of -science-fiction,according to Caltech physicist Philip Hopkins.However,you might be able to feign(佯作)a force field,he says,by positioninglenses at various angles so they bend light and make an umbrella appearinvisible,thus stopping rain and arousing awe.Hopkins has made similar"invisible”objects,but no one has found a way to perform the trick with anumbrella-yet.A Way to Redistribute Excess Rainfall to Drought-Stricken AreasJOW BROWN(EIC OF POPSCI)VlA TWITTERNearly every water-ferrying proposal struggle on the same challenge.Water weighs a ton.Literally.A cubic meter of it-the size of a washingmachine-tips the scales at2,000pounds.A convoy of trucks or cargo shipscarrying the stuff might quench a short-term thirst.But the fuel costs,saysDavid Cwiertny,a civil engineer at Lowa State University,would sink yourefforts.A hundreds-mile-long canal would also work,but it would take atleast five years to finish.By then,your drought might be over.A Pill That Stops AgingASKS@1CENTTHINKE VlA TWITTERIt’s unlikely that any medicine will unlock the secret toimmortality,but certain drugs might slow our decline.One,calledrapamycin,tricks cell into thinking they're starving,which allowsthem to better resist DNA damage and other stressors,and thuslive longer.One study found it extended mice's life spans by 25percent.Longevity researchers such as Matt Kaeberlein at theUniversity of'Washington,are now testing rapamycin on dogs.But getting it ok’d for humans will be hard;the FDA (Food andDrug Administration)doesn't consider aging a medical condition.A Way to Be Productive While You SleepASKS JUSTIN RODGERS VIA FACIBOOKIt would be the ultimate life hack:Instead of wasting one thirdof your days staring at the back of your eyelids,find a way to makeuse of those lost hours.But Matthew Walker,a sleep researcher atthe University of California at Berkeley,says that's a backward wayof thinking.Napping is extremely productive,he counters.One keystudy found participants who lost between one and five hours ofsleep saw steady declines in scores on tests that measure reaction,speeds to visual stimuli.The efiects worsened with each additionallost hour of sleep.70.What can be learned from the passage?A.A force-field umbrella in the future can defy gravity.B.A water-carrying canal cost as much as the trucks and cargo ships,C.The anti-aging pills might face the problem of government approval.D.The more you sleep,the more declines in scores on tests concerning reaction.71.The underlined word "quench"is closest in meaning to ________.A.extinguishC.modifyD.relieve B.intensify72.The inventions mentioned above share one similarity that________.A.all of them will be mass produced soonB.none of them will become a reality in the fixtureC.all of them meet with the contradiction of scientistsD.all of the ideas presented through social media(C)Airplane emissions are a big problem for the climate—and steadily rising.If the aviation sector were a country,it would rank seventh worldwide in carbon pollution.Experts predict that aircraft emissions,on their current trajectory(轨道),will triple by2050as demand for flights increases.To prevent this dire scenario,a team of scientists at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology,along with government and industry collaborators,is attempting to fundamentally redesign airplanes.Their concept,named the"double-bubble"D8,could significantly reduce aviation's carbon footprint and improve fuel efficiency if validated in full-scale tests.It calls for major changes to the standard180-passenger Boeing737and Airbus A320aircraft—for example,the fuselage(机身)has a wider,more oval shape than a conventional jet.“It's like two bubbles[joined]side by side,”explains Alejandra Uranga,an assistant professor of aerospace and mechanical engineering now at the University of Southern California.This modification lets the fuselage itself generate some lift,says Uranga,who is a co-principal investigator for the project,alongside Edard Greitzer of M.LT.The altered body shape allows the wings and tail to be smaller and lighter,and the aircraft's nose is also more aerodynamic.The most significant change,though,is the engine position.Air slows down as it flows over the top of a convention,thereby creating drag and making the craft less efficient.But the D8 design moves the jet’s engines from their usual spot underneath the wings to atop the plane's body, by the tail---where they suck in and re-accelerate the slow layer of air,greatly reducing drag.These alterations would make the aircraft use37percent less fuel than a typical passenger jet, Uranga says.The project’s chief engineer Marie Drela,Uranga,Greitzer and their collaborators at NASA,Aurora Flight Sciences and Pratt&Whitney have already built and tested an11th-scale model of the aircraft in a NASA wind bining the new design with future technologicaladvances could further reduce fuel use and ultimately add up to66percent in fuel savings in two decades,Uranga says.Other experts note that the D8's developers must still overcome economic obstacles while ensuring that the engines are strong enough to handle the new configuration(配置).Still,“it’s a very compelling idea and design,”says Brian J.German,an aerospace engineer at the Georgia Institute of Technology,who was not involved in the work.Aurora is now exploring the development of a half-scale prototype(样本)plane.If the effort succeeds,travelers may fly in one of these jets as soon as2035.73.What's the main purpose of the author to compare the aviation sector to a country in Para.1?A.To make the writing more vivid with such an analogy.B.To stress the severity of air pollution caused by aviation.C.Because the growth of aviation is the symbol of a country.D.Because aviation plays as important a role as a country.74.What is the vital shift in the new design?A.The concept which is named the"double-bubble"D8.B.The standard180-passenger Boeing737and Airbus A320aircraft.C.The fuselage of the aircraft changing into a wider,more oval shape.D.The airplane’s engines being moved to top of the plane’s body.75.What can we learn from the passage?1Aviation’s carbon footprint can be as much as three times by the first half of this century.2The fuselage of the aircraft will be equipped with two bubbles(joined)side by side.3Becoming smaller and lighter,the nose of the airplane is more aerodynamic.420years later,the amount of fuel used in the aircraft will be nearly⅓the size at present.A.①③B.②③C.①④D.③④76.What may be the best title for this passage?A.Airplane emissionsB.Carbon footprintC.Greener skiesD.A new aircraft design(D)Progressives often support diversity mandates as a path to equality and a way to level the playing field.But all too often such policies are an insincere form of virtue-signaling that benefits only the most privileged and does little to help average people.A pair of bills sponsored by Massachusetts state Senator Jason Lewis and House Speaker Pro Tempore Patricia Haddad,to ensure"gender parity"on boards and commissions,provide a case in point.Haddad and Lewis are concerned that more than half the state-government boards are less than40percent female.In order to ensure that elite women have more such opportunities,they have proposed imposing government quotas.If the bills become law,state boards and commissions will be required to set aside50percent of board seats for women by2022.The bills are similar to a measure recently adopted hi California,which last year became the first state to require gender quotas for private companies.In signing the measure,California Governor Jerry Brown admitted that the law,which expressly classifies people on the basis of sex, is probably unconstitutional.The US Supreme Court frowns on sex-based classifications unless they are designed to address an"important"policy interest,Because the California law applies to all boards,even where there is no history of prior discrimination,courts are likely to rule that the law violates the constitutional guarantee of"equal protection".But are such government mandates even necessary?Female participation on corporate boards may not currently mirror the percentage of women in the general population,but so what?The number of women on corporate boards has been steadily increasing without government interference.According to a study by Catalyst,between2010and2015the share of women on the boards of global corporations increased by54percent.Requiring companies to make gender the primary qualification for board membership will inevitably lead to less experienced private sector boards.That is exactly what happened when Norway adopted a nationwide corporate gender quota.Writing in The New Republic,Alice Lee notes that increasing the number of opportunities for board membership without increasing the pool of qualified women to serve on such boards has led to a“golden skirt"phenomenon,where the same elite women scoop up multiple seats on avariety of boards.Next time somebody pushes corporate quotas as a way to promote gender equity,remember that such policies are lately self-serving measures that make their sponsors feel good but do little to help average women.77.The author believes that the bills sponsored by Lewis and Haddad wills________A.help little to reduce gender bias.B.pose a threat to the state government.C.raise women's position in politics.D.greatly broaden career options.78.Which of the following is true of the California measure?A.It has irritated private business owners.B.It is welcomed by the Supreme Court.C.It may go against the Constitution.D.It will settle the prior controversies.79.The author mentions the study by Catalyst to illustrate________A.the harm from arbitrary board decision.B.the importance of constitutional guarantees.C.the pressure on women in global corporations.D.the needlessness of government interventions.80.Norway’s adoption of a nationwide corporate gender quota has led to________A.the underestimation of elite women’s role.B.the objection to female participation on boards.C.the entry of unqualified candidates into the board.D.the growing tension between labor and management81.Which of the following can be inferred from the text?A.Women's need in employment should be considered.B.Feasibility should be a prime concern in policy-making.C.Everyone should try hard to promote social justice.D.Major social issues should be the focus of legislation.Section CDirections:Fill in each blank in the article with a proper sentence given below.Each sentence can be used only once.Note that there are two more sentences than you need.A.All of them greatly influenced the lands they invaded and changed the course of history wherever they went.B.They were hungry to fight and greedy for riches.C.Vikings are often pictured as tall,muscular people wearing helmets with horns.D.The word Viking comes from an Old Norse word vik,meaning a bay.E.Yet,their greatest attributes may have been their love of exploration and their courage to seek the edges of the vast,unknown ocean.F.However,Vikings were not only interested in plunder.What do you think of when you hear the word Vikings?Were Vikings fierce warriors or skilled explored?Do you think of them as merchants who travel the world or do you think of them as epic poets?The Vikings excelled at all these roles and were also accomplished scientists, farmers,shipwrights and fisherfolk.We tend to think of Vikings as large and powerful raiders whose quick attacks from the sea struck fear and terror into the hearts of people across Europe.It is true that the Vikings were brave warriors who seldom lost a battle and that their reputation as fierce fighters scared everyone.____82____.The great age of the Vikings spanned the years between AD793and1066.In that short amount of time the Vikings ranged far from their harsh northern homelands,soling west to discover Iceland,Greenland,and North America,long before Christopher Columbus was even born.Seeking riches,they invaded many cities throughout Europe,Russia,North Africa,and even the Middle East.Their ships were fast and could carry many warriors.Some of their ships even carried horses. Using their sailing skills,thirst for adventure and bravery,the Vikings conquered many lands.People during the Viking age called Vikings the Nordic people or Norsemen---men from the north.They were as harsh and rugged as the coastal lands from which they came---lands that we now know as Norway,Sweden,and Denmark At that early time,all Nordic people spoke one language.That language has been almost entirely preserved in the modern-day speech of the。

A[2019·武汉市质检]Sometimes we start a day with the previous day still in mind. We think about the mistakes we made in the previous day, how things went wrong, and how we felt bad about it. No wonder it becomes difficult to focus on the current day.Here are some steps on how to start your new day:1.Take time to evaluate your dayAt the end of a day, take some time to think about it. The purpose of this thinking time is not to regret how bad your day was, how things went wrong, or how people treated you badly. This won't do you any good. Instead, the purpose of this thinking time is to extract (获得) lessons which you can bring to the following day.2.Make a commitment to apply the lessonsAfter you extract the lessons, you should make a commitment to apply them. To do so, find some actionable things you can do to apply the lessons. Next, remind yourself to do them. You may write them down if you want to.3.“Close” your dayAfter you have spent the time thinking about the day and extracting the lessons, make a decision to “close” the day. You are done with it; don't think about it anymore.4.Bring only the lessons to the next day and nothing elseAfter you “close” a day, you should not bring anything out of it to the next day except for the lessons you extract. Focus on applying the lessons to the present. This way you will be able to start your day without the burden of yesterday.【文章大意】本文是一篇应用文,主要介绍了如何开始你新的一天。
