Scholar took his first Chinese class in high school seven years ago and madehis first trip to Shanghai in 2015 through a study-abroad program when he was a student in New York University. The film and TV major changed his focus from technical art to traditional arts during his study in Shanghai, spending mostof the time learning ink-and-wash painting, calligraphy and the guzheng,a traditional Chinese musical instrument. He also fell in love with the city, where he ate a lot of authentic xiaolongbao, or steamed meat buns, and feltsafe walking on the streets at 3 am.Shanghai impresses Scholar as an efficient, modern city calling for greater business prosperity with foreign participation, so he returned two years later, when his career at home was already booming after making commercials for big names such as Coca-Cola and Jaguar.Thanks to a combination of luck and talent, he achieved the goal soon witha Chinese friend as his business partner, and the company has already produced some 15 videos for pop icons, fashionistas, and art museums in merely sixmonths.

A team of roboticists and biologists at IIT—Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia in Pontedera (Pisa, Italy), found that living plants can help with electricity. Fabian Meder, Barbara Mazzolai and iheir co-workers at IIT discovered that living plants are “ green ” power source,which may :become one of future’s electricity supplies that perfectly produces in natural environments and is accessible all over the world. Results are published on Advanced Functional Materials.They discovered that plants can produce, by a single leaf, more than 150 volts each time the leaf is touched, enough to power 100 LED light bulbs. Theyalso showed that an “hybrid tree” made of natural and artificial leaves can act as an “green” electrical producer transferring wind into electricity.Certain leaf structures are able to transform mechanical(机械的) forces applied at the leaf surface into electrical energy, because of the specific composition that most plant leaves naturally provide. In detail, the leaf is able to gather electric charges on its surface due to a process called contact electrification. These charges are then immediately passed into the inner plant tissue. The plant tissue transports the electricity to other parts of the plant. And then, by simply connecting a “ plug” to the plant stem(茎), theelectricity produced can he harvested and used to power electronic devices.The researchers additionally describe for the first time how this effectcan be used to transfer wind into electricity by plants. They equipped a Nerum oleander tree(夹竹桃) with artificial leaves that touch the natural Nerum oleander leaves. When wind blows into the plant and moves the leaves, the “hybrid tree” produces electricity. The electricity produced increases the more leaves are touched. Consequently, it can he easily up-scaled by exploiting the whole surface of I he leaves of a tree or even a forest.1.What can we learn about the discovery of the Italian scientists?A.A living leaf can produce electricity for 100 LED bulbs when touched.B.Artificial plants now serve as an electricity supply in natural environments.C.An artificial leaf can produce electricity for 100 LED bulbs when touched.D.Natural trees can produce electricity by transferring wind in natural environments.2.What does the underlined word in Para. 2 probably mean?A.False.B.Tall.C.Mixed.D.Decorated.3. How does the plant provide electricity for use?a. Electricity is gained from the stem.b. Mechanical forces are put on the leaf.c. Electric charges are gathered by the leaf.d. Electrical energy is passed into the inner parts.e. Mechanical forces are transformed into electric charges.A.d-c-e-b-aB.e-b-c-d-aC.c-d-e-b-aD.b-e-c-d-a4.What did the experiment of the Nerum oleaner tree show?A.How leaves of trees can produce electricity.B.How hybrid trees can transfer wind into electricity.C.How electricity produced by leaves can be harvested.D.How natural leaves can be combined with artificial ones.4、 According to official government figures, there are more than twice as many kangaroos as people in Australia, and many Australians consider them pests(有害动物). Landholding farmers say that the country’s estimated 50 million kangaroos damage their crops and compete with livestock for scarce resources. Australia’s insurance industry says that kangaroos are involved in more than 80 percent of the 20,000-plus vehicle-animal collisions reported each year. In the country’s underpopulated region, the common belief is that kangaroo numbers have swollen to “plague proportions.”In the absence of traditional hunters, the thinking goes, killing kangaroos is critical to balancing the ecology and boosting the rural economy.A government-sanctioned(政府认可的) industry, based on the commercial harvest of kangaroo meat and hides, exported $29 million in products in 2017 and supports about 4,000 jobs. Today meat, hides, and leather from kangaroos have been exported to 56 countries. Global brands such as Nike, Puma, and Adidas buy strong, supple “k-leather” to make athletic gear. And kangaroo meat is finding its way into more and more grocery stores.Advocates point out that low-fat, high-protein kangaroo meat comes from an animal more environmentally friendly than greenhouse gas-emitting sheep and cattle. John Kelly, former executive director of the Kangaroo Industry Association of Australia, says, “Harvesting our food and fibers from animals adapted to Australia’s fragile rangelands is extremely wise and sustainable. Many ecologists will tell you that there is no more humane way of producing red meat.”Opponents(反对者) of the industry call the killing inhumane, unsustainable, and unnecessary. Population estimates are highly debatable, they say, but “plague proportions” are biologically implausible. Little kangaroos grow slowly, and many die, so kangaroo populations can expand by only 10 to 15 percent a year, and then only under the best of circumstances. Dwayne Bannon-Harrison, a member of the Yuin people of New South Wales, says the idea that kangaroos are destroying the country is laughable. “They’ve been walking this land a lot longer than people have,” he says. “How could something that’s been here for thousands of years be ‘destroying’ the country? I don’t understand the logic in that.”Can Australians’ conflicting attitudes toward kangaroos be reconciled(和解)?George Wilson says that if kangaroos were privately owned, then graziers(放牧人)—working independently or through wildlife conservancies—would protect the animals, treating them as possessions. They could feed them, lease them, breed them and charge hunter a fee for access. “If you want to conserve something,” Wilson says, “you have to give it a value. Animals that are considered pests don’t have value.”Privatization could also help reduce grazing pressures. If kangaroos were more valuable than cattle or sheep, farmers would keep less live-stock, which could be good for the environment. Under this scheme, landholders would work with the kangaroo industry on branding, marketing and quality control. The government’s role would be oversight and regulation.1.What can be learnt from the first three paragraphs?A. Kangaroo meat is healthier than other red meat.B. Global brands make small profits on kangaroos.C. Kangaroos are more friendly to the environment.D. Overpopulated kangaroos have become a financial burden.2.What does the underlined word “implausible” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?A. Unreasonable.B. Immeasurable.C. Unquestionable.D. Unchangeable.3.Which of the following might be the benefit of p rivatization?A. The popularity of kangaroo hunting.B. The reduction in the number of kangaroos.C. The establishment of more conservation areas.D. The better management of the kangaroo industry.4.The passage is written to ________.A. argue against the killing of kangaroosB. stress the importance of protecting kangaroosC. present different opinions on the kangaroo industryD. provide a solution to the problem caused by kangaroos5、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。

2019届英语最后40天冲刺卷二1、Hiking in Banff and Lake LouiseThe cure for boredom is to surprise yourself with outdoor activities. The hiking in Banff and Lake Louise is among the most scenic and inspiring in the world. Ranging from walks and easy hikes to kind of adventurous ones, hiking in Banff and Lake Louise is your chance to step outside of your normal and into a truly magical world.1. Hiking to Lakes and WaterfallsThe lakes of Banff National Park have been drawing visitors from all over the world for more than one hundred years, so dip your toes into the icy water, take a look around, and enjoy the silence. You’ll feel like you’ve been frozen in time.2.Guided HikingOne of the best ways to experience the mountains is with the help of a friendly guide.

Silenc es may be thoughtful, or they may be empty when a person has nothing to say. A silence in a conversation may also show stubbornness, uneasiness, or worry. Silence may b e viewed by some cultural groups as extremely uncomfortable; therefore attempts may be made to fill every gap(间隙) with conversation. Persons in other cultural groups value silence and view it as necessary for understanding a person’s needs.Many Native Americans value silence and feel it is a ba sic part of communicating among people, just as some tradit ional Chinese and Thai persons do. Therefore, when a person from one of these cultures is speaking and suddenly stop s, what may be implied is that the person wants the listenerto consider what has been said before continuing. In these cultures, silence is a call for reflection.Other cultures may use silence in other ways, particularly when dealing with conflicts among people or in relationships of people with different amounts of power. For example, Russian, French, and Spanish persons may use silence to show agreement between parties about the topic under discussion. However, Mexicans may use silence when instructions are given by a person in authority rather than be rude to that person by arguing with him or her. In still another use, persons in Asian cultures may view silence as a sign of respect, particularly to an elder or a person in authority.Nurses and other care-givers need to be aware of the possible meanings of silence when they come across the personal anxiety their patients may be experiencing. Nurses should recognize their own personal and cultural construction of silence so that a patient’s silence is not interrupted too early or allowed to go on unnecessarily. A nurse who understands the healing(治愈) value of silence can use this understanding to assist in the care of patients from their own and from other cultures.1.What does the author say about silence in conversations?A.It implies anger.B.It promotes friendship.C.It isculture-specific. D.It is content-based.2.Which of the following people might regard silence as a call for careful thought?A.The Chinese.B.The French.C.The Mexicans.D.The Russians.3.What does the author advise nurses to do about silence?A.Let it continue as the patient pleases.B.Break it while treating patients.C.Evaluate its harm to patients.D.Make use of its healing effects.4.What may be the best title for the text?A.Sound and SilenceB.What It Means to Be SilentC.Silence to Native AmericansD.Speech Is Silver; Silence Is Gold3、In many ways, Providence Mount St. Vincent in Seattle is a typical senior living community. It is home to about 400 elderly people and provides them with different types of assistance. However, it is also the Inter-generational Learning Center---a preschool where children and seniors have the chance to bond（结成友好的关系）.Established in 1991, the ILC’s purpose is to allow kids to learn about acceptance while also being nurtured. It also aims to help seniors develop a greater sense of self-worth and strengthen social interactions. Babies to prekindergarten-aged children are placed into six different classes at the ILC． The kids attend art and music classes, as well as story time and exercise time with the seniors. Marie Hoover, ILC director, said that interacting with the seniors has proven beneficial for the young ones, making them more open-minded.“For the ILC children, interacting with the residents is simply part of their day-to-day life here and the way aging is ‘normalized’ , which may be the most important benefit they receive ,” Hoover said. “ I’ve had parents call me years after their children have graduated from our program to let me know about some incidents when their child was the first to warmly greet someone who happened to be in a wheelchair.”As for the seniors, they’re delighted by the companionship the children provide. The children bring so much energy and joy to our residents. Many of residents are widows or widowers and can become lonely. Their adult children may still be working, so they may not get to see them as often as they would like. Having the children stay with the old makes our residents feel they are still part of a community. The young and the old connect and learn from one another at this unique facility. 1．ILC is intended to _______.A．build a typical senior living community B．take good care of the childrenC．benefit both the children and the seniors D．rid the seniors of loneliness2．From what Hoover said in Para. 3, we can learn that the ILC children _____.A．keep in touch with the seniors even if they have left ILC B．come to realize that aging is a normal part of lifeC．take different attitudes to the elderly after graduationD．think it easy to interact with the elderly residents in ILC 3．The last paragraph mainly tells us _________.A．the benefits the seniors receive B．the situation of the seniorsC．children’s company D．the interaction between the children and the seniors4．The underlined words in the last paragraph may refer to _________. A．a special building B．a typical familyC．a typical teaching program D．a special learning center4、 Every January for the past 20 years, I have taken a few moments to ponder(思考) the answer to the big question, “What is the meaning of life?”It’s one of those enormous questions that are so important—philosophically(哲理地) and practically in terms of how we live our lives —and yet we never stop to really think about the answer. If you might be able to get your response in less than a minute, the wisdom-to-effort rate for this exercise could not be more advantageous. I tend to ponder such things as the creator of the Wisdom Project, a collection of writings about the wisdom in everyday life experiences.The reason I ask this question year after year is that my answer changes over time, which I find interesting and meaningful. There is no only correct answer, I believe—only answers that are right for you at any given time.My favorite answer, though, is the Zen-like circular reasoning attributed to writer Robert Byrne, who put it, "The purpose of life is a life of purpose." Some people have concluded that lifers meaning is subjective. "There is not one big universal meaning for all,” author Anais Nin wrote in her diary. "There is only the meaning we each give to our life, an individual meaning, an individual plot, like an individual novel, a book for each person."Taking a few moments to record your response to the question "What is the meaning of life?" is the kind of simple exercise that effectively adds meaning to your life. And then I suggest answering it every year. Looking back at how your thinking has evolved and been influenced by experience tells you something more about yourself. Cumulatively (累积地), it gets you closer to a deeper self-understanding.Whatever small step you take toward finding the meaning of life is a step toward a more meaningful and longer life.1.Why does the author ask the question every year?A.To get the response in less than a minute.B.To get the correct answer to the meaning of life.C.To find different answers interesting and meaningful.D.To leam the wisdom in everyday life experiences by himself.2.What have the examples of Robert Byrne and Anais Nin proved?A.Our life should be a life of purpose.B.The answer of the two persons is the best one.C.Everyone has his or her own answer at any given time.D.Life’s meaning is philosophically and practically important.3.What does the author suggest people do about adding meaning to your life?A.Try asking others about what their opinions are.B.Understand yourself more by answering it every year.C.looking back at your life influences your meaning of life.D.Write down their responses to the question and do more exercise.4.What is the main idea of this passage?A.Everyone should ask the meaning of life.B.Life is meaningful when you find an answer.C.Life changes when we begin to find its meaning.D.Live a more meaningful and longer life.5、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。

For years, designers created images on paper and a design got approved, and then images went to a factory that created prototypes (样品). Designers and developers made changes and sent prototypes back and forth. Once a final version was approved, it was sent to the factory to be copied for mass production. From start to finish, the process could take as long as a year.Now, some companies use software programs that can email 3-D images of clothing with measurements immediately to factories. The goal is to reduce to six months or less the time it takes to get new products to stores.For clothing manufacturers and stores, this change means design decisions can happen closer lo when new fashions arrive at stores.Currently, the 3-D technology is only used in just two percent of overall suppliers, says Spencer Fung, CEO of Li & Fung. But he believes that will change as stores realize that reducing design time and prototypessaves money."You can create an entire collection of clothes before actually making one real product," noted Whitney Cathcart, CEO of the Cathcart Technologies. She said, "This reduces waste, it reduces time and it allows decision-making in real time, so the entire process becomes more efficient."Nicki Rector lives in Northern California. Last year, she bought a pair ot Betabrand's boots based on the 3-D image."It looked real," said Rector. She did not worry about buying from a digital image, she said, because in online purchases, you couldn, l really know whether you bought the right product until you put it on your feet.Betabrand has sold 40,000 pairs of shoes, priced from $ 128 to $ 168 over the past year, all from digital images.

For years, designers created images on paper and a design got approved, and then images wentto a factory that created prototypes (样品). Designers and developers made changes and sent prototypes back and forth. Once a final version was approved, it was sentto the factory to be copied for mass production. From start to finish, the processcould take as long as a year.Now, some companies use software programs that can email 3-D images ofclothing with measurements immediately to factories. The goal is to reduce to sixmonths or less the time it takes to get new products to stores.For clothing manufacturers and stores, this change means design decisionscan happen closer lo when new fashions arrive at stores.Currently, the 3-D technology is only used in just two percent of overallsuppliers, says Spencer Fung, CEO of Li & Fung. But he believes that will changeas stores realize that reducing design time and prototypessaves money."You can create an entire collection of clothes before actually making onereal product," noted Whitney Cathcart, CEO of the Cathcart Technologies. She said, "This reduces waste, it reduces time and it allows decision-making in real time,so the entire process becomes more efficient."Nicki Rector lives in Northern California. Last year, she bought a pair otBetabrand's boots based on the 3-D image."It looked real," said Rector. She did not worry about buying from a digital image, she said, because in online purchases, you couldn, l really know whether you bought the right product until you put it on your feet.Betabrand has sold 40,000 pairs of shoes, priced from $ 128 to $ 168 overthe past year, all from digital images. The company says it plans to add 15 to 20more projects this year.Few companies are yet selling directly to buyers off digital images like Betabrand. They are showing the images to store buyers or factories instead. However, it is believed that companies and store owners who welcome this technology are going to be “the winners of the future”．1.What's the advantage of the use of 3-D imaging technology in clothing business?A.lt's time-saving.B.It helps cut prices.C.lt offers more creative designs.D.It allows for shorter working hours.2.By using 3-D imaging, it is possible for buyers to __________.A.place orders without hesitationB.have an influence on the fashion of the yearC.make purchases before the products are producedD.get involved in the clothing or shoemaking process3.Why didn't Rector worry about buying from a digital image?A.The prices were much lower than those in stores.B.She didn't need to pay before she received the product.C.The buying experiences was similar to online shopping.D.She could have more choices about the colors and designs.4.According to the passage, we can tell the future of the 3-D imaging is _________.A.unclearB.promisingC.discouragingD.unfavorable4、 My 18-year-old son, Barton and his classmates had arranged a trip to Killington, Vt. for a weekend of skiing. He had asked for my permission. I nodded at that timegiving weather no thought at all.I've never imagined I'd be a helicopter parent. I assumed kids wereindestructible, until I had my own and discovered how breakable they could he. We had a handful of emergency room visits before Barton was 6. My concern evolvedgradually and some days Fd forbid my children to leave the house if I thought itwas too windy.But since this trip was quite important to Barton, I tried to reduce my concern. "The news is just from one little AccuWeather forecast station," I comforted myself two days before his scheduled departure. From there I became unglued.That afternoon, I called the activity leader, "They're saying the storm and snow will be over 24 inches."“Mom, do you know in order to ski you need snow?”“I really don’t think you should go,” I told my son.But everyone’s going," he said.I called a select group of moms—picking carefully those whose children had great influence. If those kids were riot permitted to go, the rest would fall likea row of dominoes(多米诺骨牌). I was certain.“They’re all going lo die," I said, puzzled that I seemed to be the onlymother who understood the potential danger. A few came around and finally I thought I could relax.But teenagers don't always do what they're told. As departure time neared,text messages informed my son that the kids who I had assured him were not goingon the trip had actually just found their seats on the bus.Barton picked up his snowboard and headed for the front door. Helpless anddesperate, I climbed down the bottom rung(梯子的横档) of the parenting ladder.1.Which of the following can best describe the author according to Paragraph 2?A.Overprotective.B.Optimistic.C.Risky.D.Tolerant.2.What does the underlined word “unglued” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?A.Relaxed.B.Upset.C.Excited.D.Embarrassed.3.Why did the author call some moms?A.To ask them for advice.B.To inform them of the change of schedule.C.To persuade them to cancel the trip.D.To remind them to watch over their children.4.How did the author feel after Barton went on the trip?A.She learned more about being parents.B.She was disappointed at Barton's choice.C.She suddenly felt relieved.D.She felt like a failure.5、Empathy is the ability to imagine what it must be like in someone else’s situation.It is an essential part of what it means to be human, to the extent that we aresuspicious of anyone who does not show empathy in their behavior.1 We read novels, watch television and go to the theatre, and part of our enjoyment comes from understanding the dilemma faced by the characters because weknow how we would feel if we were in the same situation.2 One study has shown animals displaying empathy towards other animalsand towards humans. Creatures from across the animal kingdom such as bees and whales, as well as domestic pets, display behavior that suggests they cooperate with andprotect each other.In another study, psychiatrist Jules Masserman and his team conducted an experiment with monkeys in which the monkeys pulled one of two chains that released food. One chain simply released the food, while another gave an electric shock toa second monkey. The first monkey stopped pulling the chain that delivered the shock.3 This empathetic behavior was observed in a number of monkeys.The origin of empathy is probably the need for the young of all animal speciesto be cared for. They communicate this requirement by crying for attention and toshow pain. Both human a nd non-human young were more likely to survive if their parents reacted positively to their needs. People and animals alike are social beings andare more likely to work together. 4 If we help others, we are also helpingourselves and so empathy is sensible and realistic.We don’t always display empathy, however. Just as animals react aggressivelyto unknown creatures from their own or other species, humans tend to regard peoplethey don’t know with suspicion. 5 Our unwillingness to trust anyone unfamiliar is as natural to us as our empathy towards those we know and loveA. To feel empathy is not restricted to real life.B. You can empathize with someone without feeling sympathy for them.C. This fear of strangers will, we believe, protect us from personal danger.D. It seemed to be willing to go hungry rather than see a fellow animal suffer.E. However, it seems that in fact empathy may not be a quality unique to humans.F. Empathy plays a role in that as it allows us to understand our fellow humans better.G. It’s certainly difficult to understand an animal’s intention behind an emphatic response.6、In kindergarten, I met my first lovedancing.

It is an essential part of what it means to be human, to the extent that we are suspicious of anyone who does not show empathy in their behavior.1 We read novels, watch television and go to the theatre, andpart of our enjoyment comes from understanding the dilemma faced by the characters because we know how we would feel if we were in the same situation.2 One study has shown animals displaying empathy towards other animals and towards humans. Creatures from across the animal kingdom such as bees and whales, as well as domestic pets, display behavior that suggests they cooperate with and protect each other.In another study, psychiatrist Jules Masserman and his team conducted an experiment with monkeys in which the monkeys pulled one of two chains that released food. One chain simply released the food, while another gave an electric shock to a second monkey. The first monkey stopped pulling the chain that delivered the shock. 3 This empathetic behavior was observed in a number of monkeys.The origin of empathy is probably the need for the young of all animal species to be cared for. They communicate this requirement by crying for attention and to show pain. Both human and non-human young were more likely to survive if their parents reacted positively to their needs. People and animals alike are social beings and are more likely to work together. 4 If we help others, we are also helping ourselves and so empathy is sensible and realistic.We don’t always display empathy, however. Just as animals react aggressively to unknown creatures from their own or other species, humans tend to regard people they don’t know with suspicion. 5 Our unwillingness to trust anyone unfamiliar is as natural to us as our empathy towards those we know and loveA. To feel empathy is not restricted to real life.B. You can empathize with someone without feeling sympathy for them.C. This fear of strangers will, we believe, protect us from personal danger.D. It seemed to be willing to go hungry rather than see a fellow animal suffer.E. However, it seems that in fact empathy may not be a quality unique to humans.F. Empathy plays a role in that as it allows us to understand our fellow humans better.G. It’s certainly difficult to understand an animal’s intention behind an emphatic response.6、In kindergarten, I met my first lovedancing.

For years, designers created images on paper and a design got approved, and then images went to a factory that created prototypes (样品). Designers and developers made changes and sent prototypes back and forth. Once a final version was approved, it was sent to the factory to be copied for mass production. From start to finish, the process could take as long as a year.Now, some companies use software programs that can email 3-D images of clothing with measurements immediately to factories. The goal is to reduce to six months or less the time it takes to get new products to stores.For clothing manufacturers and stores, this change means design decisions can happen closer lo when new fashions arrive at stores.Currently, the 3-D technology is only used in just two percent of overall suppliers, says Spencer Fung, CEO of Li & Fung. But he believes that will change as stores realize that reducing design time and prototypessaves money."You can create an entire collection of clothes before actually making one real product," noted Whitney Cathcart, CEO of the Cathcart Technologies. She said, "This reduces waste, it reduces time and it allows decision-making in real time, so the entire process becomes more efficient."Nicki Rector lives in Northern California. Last year, she bought a pair ot Betabrand's boots based on the 3-D image."It looked real," said Rector. She did not worry about buying from a digital image, she said, because in online purchases, you couldn, l really know whether you bought the right product until you put it on your feet.Betabrand has sold 40,000 pairs of shoes, priced from $ 128 to $ 168 over the past year, all from digital images. The company says it plans to add 15 to 20 more projects this year.Few companies are yet selling directly to buyers off digital images like Betabrand. They are showing the images to store buyers or factories instead. However, it is believed that companies and store owners who welcome this technology are going to be “the winners of the future”.1.What's the advantage of the use of 3-D imaging technology in clothing business?A.lt's time-saving.B.It helps cut prices.C.lt offers more creative designs.D.It allows for shorter working hours.2.By using 3-D imaging, it is possible for buyers to __________.A.place orders without hesitationB.have an influence on the fashion of the yearC.make purchases before the products are producedD.get involved in the clothing or shoemaking process3.Why didn't Rector worry about buying from a digital image?A.The prices were much lower than those in stores.B.She didn't need to pay before she received the product.C.The buying experiences was similar to online shopping.D.She could have more choices about the colors and designs.4.According to the passage, we can tell the future of the 3-D imaging is _________.A.unclearB.promisingC.discouragingD.unfavorable4、 My 18-year-old son, Barton and his classmates had arranged a trip to Killington, Vt. for a weekend of skiing. He had asked for my permission. I nodded at that time giving weather no thought at all.I've never imagined I'd be a helicopter parent. I assumed kids were indestructible, until I had my own and discovered how breakable they could he. We had a handful of emergency room visits before Barton was 6. My concern evolvedgradually and some days Fd forbid my children to leave the house if I thought it was too windy.But since this trip was quite important to Barton, I tried to reduce my concern. "The news is just from one little AccuWeather forecast station," I comforted myself two days before his scheduled departure. From there I became unglued.That afternoon, I called the activity leader, "They're saying the storm and snow will be over 24 inches."“Mom, do you know in order to ski you need snow?”“I really don’t think you should go,” I told my son.But everyone’s going," he said.I called a select group of moms—picking carefully those whose children had great influence. If those kids were riot permitted to go, the rest would fall like a row of dominoes(多米诺骨牌). I was certain.“They’re all going lo die," I said, puzzled that I seemed to be the only mother who understood the potential danger. A few came around and finally I thought I could relax.But teenagers don't always do what they're told. As departure time neared, text messages informed my son that the kids who I had assured him were not going on the trip had actually just found their seats on the bus.Barton picked up his snowboard and headed for the front door. Helpless and desperate, I climbed down the bottom rung(梯子的横档) of the parenting ladder.1.Which of the following can best describe the author according to Paragraph 2?A.Overprotective.B.Optimistic.C.Risky.D.Tolerant.2.What does the underlined word “unglued” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?A.Relaxed.B.Upset.C.Excited.D.Embarrassed.3.Why did the author call some moms?A.To ask them for advice.B.To inform them of the change of schedule.C.To persuade them to cancel the trip.D.To remind them to watch over their children.4.How did the author feel after Barton went on the trip?A.She learned more about being parents.B.She was disappointed at Barton's choice.C.She suddenly felt relieved.D.She felt like a failure.5、Empathy is the ability to imagine what it must be like in someone else’s situation.It is an essential part of what it means to be human, to the extent that we are suspicious of anyone who does not show empathy in their behavior.1 We read novels, watch television and go to the theatre, and part of our enjoyment comes from understanding the dilemma faced by the characters because we know how we would feel if we were in the same situation.2 One study has shown animals displaying empathy towards other animals and towards humans.

2019届高三英语最后40天冲刺卷二1、Hiking in Banff and Lake LouiseThe cure for boredom is to surprise yourself with outdoor activities. The hiking in Banff and Lake Louise is among the most scenic and inspiring in the world. Ranging from walks and easy hikes to kind of adventurous ones, hiking in Banff and Lake Louise is your chance to step outside of your normal and into a truly magical world.1. Hiking to Lakes and WaterfallsThe lakes of Banff National Park have been drawing visitors from all over the world for more than one hundred years, so dip your toes into the icy water, takea look around, and enjoy the silence. You’ll feel like you’ve been frozen in time.2.Guided HikingOne of the best ways to experience the mountains is with the help of a friendly guide.

Winter HikingThere are many opportunities for hiking during the winter months. It's worth the effort to put on some extra layers and set off for outside adventure into the freezing mountain air and snow.4. Hiking for FamiliesA first trip to the mountains will be a magical experience, but finding the right and safe adventure is key to a great day. Banff and Lake Louise offer a number of hikes and walks for all abilities, where hiking with your little one doesn’t mean sacrificing(牺牲) on scenery.Click here for further information or download our app to keep current!1.Which should people choose to get a better knowledge of where they hike?A.Guided Hiking.B.Winter Hiking.C.Hiking for Families.D.Hiking to Lakes and Waterfalls.2.In what way is Hiking for Families different from others?A.It provides childcare services.B.It requires rich hiking experience.C.It is specially fit for beginners.D.It is danger free for all hiking levels.3.From which is the text likely to be taken?A.A travel brochure.B.A local newspaper.C.A specific website.D.A sports magazine. 2The meaning of silence varies among cultural groups. Silences may be thoughtful, or they may be empty when a person has nothing to say . A silence in a conversation may also show stubbornness, uneasi ness, or worry. Silence may be viewed by some cultural groups as ex tremely uncomfortable; therefore attempts may be made to fill every gap(间隙) with conversation. Persons in other cultural groups value silence and view it as necessary for understanding a person’s needs.Many Native Americans value silence and feel it is a basic part of communicating among people, just as some traditional Chinese and Thai persons do. Therefore, when a person from one of these cultu res is speaking and suddenly stops, what may be implied is that the person wants the listener to consider what has been said before continuing. In these cultures, silence is a call for reflection.Other cultures may use silence in other ways, particularly when dealing with conflicts among people or in relationships of people with different amounts of power. For example, Russian, French, and Spanish persons may use silence to show agreement between parties about the topic under discussion. However, Mexicans may use silence when instructions are given by a person in authority rather than be rude to that person by arguing with him or her. In still another use, persons in Asian cultures may view silence as a sign of respect, particularly to an elder or a person in authority.Nurses and other care-givers need to be aware of the possible meanings of silence when they come across the personal anxiety their patients may be experiencing. Nurses should recognize their own personal and cultural construction of silence so that a patient’s silence is not interrupted too early or allowed to go on unnecessarily.A nurse who understands the healing(治愈) value of silence can use this understandingto assist in the care of patients from their own and from other cultures.1.What does the author say about silence in conversations?A.It implies anger.B.It promotes friendship.C.It is culture-specific.D.It is content-based.2.Which of the following people might regard silence as a call for careful thought?A.The Chinese.B.The French.C.The Mexicans.D.The Russians.3.What does the author advise nurses to do about silence?A.Let it continue as the patient pleases.B.Break it while treating patients.C.Evaluate its harm to patients.D.Make use of its healing effects.4.What may be the best title for the text?A.Sound and SilenceB.What It Means to Be SilentC.Silence to Native AmericansD.Speech Is Silver; Silence Is Gold3、In many ways, Providence Mount St. Vincent in Seattle is a typical senior living community. It is home to about 400 elderly people and provides them with different types of assistance. However, it is also the Inter-generational Learning Center---a preschool where children and seniors have the chance to bond（结成友好的关系）.Established in 1991, the ILC’s purpose is to allow kids to lear n about acceptance while also being nurtured. It also aims to help seniors develop a greater sense of self-worth and strengthen social interactions. Babies to prekindergarten-aged children are placed into six different classes at the ILC． The kids attend art and music classes, as well as story time and exercise time with the seniors. Marie Hoover, ILC director, said that interacting with the seniors has proven beneficial for the young ones, making them more open-minded.“For the ILC children, interacting wi th the residents is simply part of theirday-to-day life here and the way aging is ‘normalized’ , which may be the most important benefit they receive ,” Hoover said. “ I’ve had parents call me years after their children have graduated from our program to let me know about some incidents when their child was the first to warmly greet someone who happened tobe in a wheelchair.”As for the seniors, they’re delighted by the companionship the children provide. The children bring so much energy and joy to our residents. Many of residents are widows or widowers and can become lonely. Their adult children may still be working, so they may not get to see them as often as they would like. Having the children stay with the old makes our residents feel they are still part of a community. The young and the old connect and learn from one another at this unique facility. 1．ILC is intended to _______.A．build a typical senior living community B．take good care of the children C．benefit both the children and the seniors D．rid the seniors of loneliness 2．From what Hoover said in Para. 3, we can learn that the ILC children _____. A．keep in touch with the seniors even if they have left ILCB．come to realize that aging is a normal part of lifeC．take different attitudes to the elderly after graduationD．think it easy to interact with the elderly residents in ILC3．The last paragraph mainly tells us _________.A．the benefits the seniors receive B．the situation of the seniors C．children’s company D．the interaction between the children and the seniors4．The underlined words in the last paragraph may refer to _________.A．a special building B．a typical familyC．a typical teaching program D．a special learning center4、 Every January for the past 20 years, I have taken a few moments to ponder(思考) the answer to the big question, “What is the meaning of life?”It’s one of those enormous questions that areso important—philosophically(哲理地) and practically in terms of how we live our lives—and yet we never stop to really think about the answer. If you might be able to get your response in less than a minute, the wisdom-to-effort rate for this exercise could not be more advantageous. I tend to ponder such things as the creator of the Wisdom Project, a collection of writings about the wisdom in everyday life experiences.The reason I ask this question year after year is that my answer changes over time, which I find interesting and meaningful. There is no only correct answer, I believe—only answers that are right for you at any given time.My favorite answer, though, is the Zen-like circular reasoning attributed to writer Robert Byrne, who put it, "The purpose of life is a life of purpose." Some people have concluded that lifers meaning is subjective. "There is not one big universal meaning for all,” author Anais Nin wrote in her diary. "There is only the meaning we each give to our life, an individual meaning, an individual plot, like an individual novel, a book for each person."Taking a few moments to record your response to the question "What is the meaning of life?" is the kind of simple exercise that effectively adds meaning to your life. And then I suggest answering it every year. Looking back at how your thinking has evolved and been influenced by experience tells you something more about yourself. Cumulatively (累积地), it gets you closer to a deeper self-understanding.Whatever small step you take toward finding the meaning of life is a step toward a more meaningful and longer life.1.Why does the author ask the question every year?A.To get the response in less than a minute.B.To get the correct answer to the meaning of life.C.To find different answers interesting and meaningful.D.To leam the wisdom in everyday life experiences by himself.2.What have the examples of Robert Byrne and Anais Nin proved?A.Our life should be a life of purpose.B.The answer of the two persons is the best one.C.Everyone has his or her own answer at any given time.D.Life’s meaning is philosophically and practically important.3.What does the author suggest people do about adding meaning to your life?A.Try asking others about what their opinions are.B.Understand yourself more by answering it every year.C.looking back at your life influences your meaning of life.D.Write down their responses to the question and do more exercise.4.What is the main idea of this passage?A.Everyone should ask the meaning of life.B.Life is meaningful when you find an answer.C.Life changes when we begin to find its meaning.D.Live a more meaningful and longer life.5、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。

Without doubt, Pele is the greatest soccer player ever.Born in a small village in Brazil, Pelégrew up playing soccer like most other children of his age. Too poor to afford a soccer ball, Pele and his playmates often made one by tying together a bunch of rags. Their playing field was usually a sidewalk. Old tin cans marked where the goalposts should be. Peléand the other boys from his neighborhood often dreamed of one clay becoming professional soccer players. At the age of eleven, Peléwas discovered by Waldemar de Brito, a former professional player. Waldemar de Brito was then the coach of the Bauru Soccer Club and he signed Pele to play for the junior Bauru team.In 1956, when Pele was fifteen, Waldemar de Brito took him to the city of Santos, Brazil, to try out for the Santos professional team. Pele immediately distinguished himself as one of the best players.In 1957, Peléwas selected to play on Brazil's national team. He scored the only goal for Brazil in the first game and another goal in the second game. Then in 1958, Peléhelped Brazil win ils first World Cup.Between 1958 and 1970, Pele played in four World Cups. He isthe only person who won three World Cups. Peléplayed his last game with the Brazilian national team in 1971, but he continued to play for the Sanlos team for three more years before calling it quits.Throughout his career, Peléhad an amazing ability to touch people. Once a war was suspended for two days because the Santosteam had been invited to play there and people on both sides were so eager to see Peléplay.Pelé's name represents excellence in soccer. His 20-year career has yielded some of the most memorable moments in soccer histoiy. People today still refer to him as the great Pelé, the King of Soccer.1.What was Pelé's soccer playing environment like when he was young?A.Well-developed.B.Tough.C.Relaxing.D.Standard.2.What's the focus of Paragraphs 3 to 5?A.Pelé's influence.B.Pelé's achievements.C.Pelé's personal development.D.Pelé's international records.3.Why was the war in Nigeria suspended for two days?A.Nigerians were fed up with wars.B.Pelérefused to play soccer unless the war was stopped.C.Nigerians didn't want to injure Pelé.D.People wanted to see Pelé's game.4.What do we know about Pelé?A.Growing up in a soccer family influences him a lot.B.He is a selfless and generous player.C.He has a talent for soccer and practices a lot.D.He received professional training at age 15.3、Most adults find it hard to recall events from their first few years of life and now scientists have found exactly when these childhood memories fade(消失).A new study has found that most three-year-olds can recall a lot of what happened to them over a year earlier, and these memories persist while they are five and six, but by the time they are over seven, these memories decline(衰退) rapidly.Most children by the age of eight or nine can only recall 35% of their experiences from under the age of three, according to the new findings.The scientists behind the research say this is because at around this age the way we form memories begins to change. They say that before the age of seven children do not have a sense of time and place in their memories. In older children, however, the early events they can recall tend to be more adult-like in the way they are formed. Children also have a far faster rate of forgetting than adults. The findings also help to explain why children can often have clear memories of events but then forget them just a couple of years later.The youngsters first visited the laboratory at the age of three and discussed six unique events from their past, such as family outings, trips to the zoo, and the first day of school. The children then returned for a second session between the ages of five and nine to discuss the same events. The researchers found that between the ages of five and seven, the amount of memories the children could recall remained between 63 -72 percent. However, the amount of information eight-tonine-year-old children could recall dropped to 35 and 36 percent.1.What does the new study tell us?A.Childhood memories decline with years.B.Three-year-old kids are the cleverest.C.Childhood memories can fade easily.D.Some adults cannot recall past events.2.What does the underlined word “persist”in Paragraph 2 mean?A.Change.B.Remain.C.Appear.D.Return.3.What can we learn from Paragraph 4?A.Adults cannot have clear memories of past events.B.Children can think like adults when they get older.C.Children under 7 years old have different ways of forming memories.D.Children often forget things because they have no idea of time or place.4.In the second session, nine-year-old children _________.A.refused to discuss the same eventsB.remembered all their family outingsC.could recall 72 percent of their past eventsD.only remembered a small part of their past events4、Cities Are Turning Snails YellowIn the early and mid-20th century, if you wander through woodlands or cities of Europe, you will likely find, with an observant eye, that grove snails come in a variety of colors.Over that time, European cities have seen high-rises, concrete, and asphalt (沥青). And the snails—still common, still everywhere—have been changing, too. In the Netherlands, the results of a citizen-science project suggest that light-colored snails are becoming more common incities. Researchers blame the urban-heat-island effect. Yellow shells, they argue, reflect more sunlight, allowing snails to stay cool in the heat.If you are interested in finding this change yourself, there is an Android app called SnailSnap. It was developed by Niels Kerstes at the Naturalis Biodiversity Center with his co-workers in 2017. The problem with citizen science, however, is that it's hard to say how reliable the data are," Kerstes says. When a citizen scientist ' uses SnailSnap to take a photo of a snail, the app also records the location. Sometimes the GPS didn't work or people disagreed on the color, but it gave Kerstes more overall confidence in the data.The team eventually compared snails from four types of habitats: farmland, natural habitats like forests, urban "green" areas like parks, and urban "gray" areas that were primarily residential, commercial, or industrial. In both types of urban setlings, they found more yellow snails. Kerstes and his co-authors think this is because of the temperature. Cities are often hotter than their surrounding areas because they've full of materials like asphalt absorbing more radiation and are relatively short of trees. Since dark ones also absorb more radiation than their yellow counterparts, they may get too hot and have to spend more time trying to escape from the sun."Organisms are evolving all the time. People just don’t walk around with this kind of consciousness," says an ecologist. But if you stop to notice snails, you may be more familiar with the evolution that's happening on sidewalks, in alleyways, and all around.1.What is the result of the urban-heat-island effect in Paragraph 2?A.Light-colored shells absorb more sunlight.B.Dark-colored snails are on the increase.C.Rising temperature results in more light-colored snails.D.Urban changes lead to the change in size of snails.2.What’s the function of SnailSnap?A.To encourage citizens to take more photos of snails.B.To introduce citizens to snails of different colors.C.To collect more data on snails from "citizen scientists".D.To call on people to work together to protect snails.3.What does the underlined word “counterparts”refer to?A.Snails.B.Habitats.C.Trees.D.Cities.4.What can we infer from the passage?A.Urban parks are suitable for all the snails.B.Evolution can happen anywhere and anytime.C.Radiation is the main reason for the fading colors of snails.D.Kerstes is worried about the data collected by citizens.5、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。
