2020届崇左市高级中学高三英语第二次联考试题及参考答案
2020届崇左市高级中学高三英语第二次联考试题及参考答案第一部分阅读（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项AWhat to Eat—and What to Skip—When It Comes to Takeout FoodIf the burden on your wallet doesn't bother you much, the effect your takeout habit can have on your waistline just might arouse your attention. Here's the best and worst of the lot for your belly.Steamed Vegetable Dumplings: Order This.When she orders Chinese, registered dietitian nutritionist Elisa Zied gets an order of steamed vegetable dumplings. "I often pair them with either chicken and broccoli in brown sauce（I ask for a little saucemade without sugar）or steamed shrimp dumplings," she tells us.Crab Wontons: Not That!When you deconstruct crab wontons, it's easy to see why they're a "Not That!" The inside is filled with crabmeat and cream cheese（which is just a fancy, spreadable fat）.The wonton is made of refined flour, egg and salt and the crispy（脆的）coating is a result of a deep oil bath.Peking Duck: Order This.Most of the fat from the skin flows out of the duck over the course of cooking, making this a healthier choice than most of the stir-fry dishes available. Order a side of steamed vegetables and serve it with a small scoop of brown rice. Done and done!Sweet and Sour Anything: Not That!Anything with “sweet and sour” in its title is a powerful cue that something has been deep-fried and covered in a sickly-sweet pink sauce. If you pair your selection with a side of rice, you're looking at a 1,000-calorie meal.Summer Roll: Order This.Summer rolls are steamed instead of fried—and typically filled with lean proteins and vegetables, making them a winning appetizer in our book. Pair them with an order of edamame（毛豆）and a broth-based soup for a satisfying, filling meal.Spring Roll: Not That!Spring=deep-fried, which is why we say to skip them! They're filled with fat and calories your belly doesn't need.1.What kind of cooking method should be skipped according to the text?A.Steaming.B.Stir-frying.C.Deep-frying.D.Boiling.2.Which of the following suits as a good starter for a meal?A.Chicken and broccoli.B.Steamed vegetable dumplings.C.Peking duck.D.Summer rolls.3.Where can the text be found?A.In a recipe.B.In a guidebook.C.In a science fiction.D.In a health magazine.BFor years, Zach Ault, a father of three, enjoyed being physically active. He was even training for a half-marathon. But in 2017, he took time off to recover from an infection. After recovering, he tried to continue his runs but could not complete them. He was not able to spend time with his children. He had to cut back his job. Even sleeping as much as 16 hours a day made no difference in his condition.“His body had literally hijacked him and it wasn't going to allow him to push through, ” said Anne Ault, his wife. After months of testing, doctors announced their result-chronic fatigue syndrome, a disease that makes an individual feel extremely tired.This fatigue lasts more than six months and becomes worse after any kind of physical exertion (费力活动). Patients may have difficulty standing upright. They also may have trouble thinking, often described as a “brain fog”. There are no approvedtreatments, or even tests to help with diagnosis. There is no way to predict who will recover and who will have a severe case that lasts for years.Now the doctors at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) are conducting a unique study to learn more about the condition. Zach Ault is one of the subjects in the study. When Ault rides an exercise bicycle, scientists measure how his leg muscles use oxygen. Afterward, doctors fit a special cap on Ault's head to measure electrical activity in his brain. They then send him to spend the night in an air-tight room where air has been removed with pipe for additional study. Scientists measure oxygen and carbon dioxide levels to tell how much energy Ault is using, minute by minute. “We're figuring out how his body adjusts to an exercise load, or a stress load.”“It's hard not knowing if or when I'm going to recover, ” he said. But Ault says the study did help him learn about the disease. And it gave him ideas about how to save up his energy.4. What was Zach Ault's life like before 2017?A. He was fond of exercising.B. He won several half-marathons.C. He spent much time lying in bed.D. He was busy looking after his children.5. How did the infection affect Zach Ault?A. He lost his job.B. He was unable to sleep.C. He became too weak to do sports.D. He was tired of running a half-marathon.6. What can we learn about chronic fatigue syndrome?A. It usually lasts no more than months.B. It is likely to cause thinking disorders.C. Patients with it need to stay in bed all day long.D. Patients with it should avoid any kind of exercise.7. What does Zach Ault think of the study?A. It helped him cure his illness.B. It helped him recover and stay fit.C. It taught him how to enjoy cycling.D. It brought him new ideas about fighting diseases.CRecently，as I watched my son Nathan play basketball for his high school team，I was starting to feel sorry for myself and for him．His team was facing adversity（逆境）on the court and he was playing in a hostile environment-it was the opponent's home gym filled with their supporters，and Nathan's team was trailing（落后）for three quarters of the game．As for me，I had been dismissed from my job earlier in the day．During my drive home，I kept telling myself that I will find work again in a short time-I am confident in my experience and abilities．This is the same belief that I tried to instill in my son．The basketball game entered the fourth quarter with Nathan's team still trailing．I saw the determination on his，as well as his teammates'faces as they fought back to not only tie the game（平局），but then go ahead by three points．Then，a player from the other team made an unbelievable shot to tie the game up again．With a tie game and seconds on the clock，Nathan found himself with the ball and with skill and confidence，he proceeded to make the basket with a defender hanging all over him．The other player was called for a foul（犯规）．As Nathan stood at the foul line preparing for a shot that would put his team up by three points，I saw the focus and determination on his face，there was no room for self doubt．Nathan was able to tune out all the distractions and nail the free throwwith such skill，it was as if he had done it a thousand times．As I sat there，my heart bursting with pride，it dawned on me．I had taught him perseverance in the face of adversity，and he had just taught me the same lesson．That brief moment of self-doubt andfeeling sorry for myselfwas blown away by the actions of my son on the basketball court．He will play in the finals，but it doesn't matter if he wins or loses，at this moment，we both won．8. What did the author estimate his son's team would be like at first？______A. The team would lose at home court．B. The team would finally win．C. The team would win the championship．D. The team would lose at visiting court．9. Which of the following words can best describe the author？______A. Self-doubting and pessimistic．B. Self-confident and optimistic．C. Hardworking and intelligent．D. Easy-going and warmhearted．10. What does the underlined phrase"tune out"in Paragraph 4 mean？______A. AvoidB. Focus．C. CreateD. Receive．11. Which of the following is the besttitle for the text？______A. Life Goes Just Like Playing Basketball．B. It Matters Whether to Win or Lose．C. A Lesson in Life and Basketball．D. Father And Son in Life．DContrary to the long-held belief that plants in the natural world are always in competition, new research has found that in severe environments adult plants help smaller ones and grow well as a result.The research, led by Dr Rocio, studied adult and seedling (幼苗)plants in the ecological desert in the south-east of Spain. Dr Rocio said, “If you're a seedling in a poor land — the top of a mountain or a sand hill, for example-and you’re lucky enough to end up underneath a big plant, your chances of survival are certainly better than if you landed somewhere on your own. What we have found, which was surprising, is an established large plant, called a ‘nurse’, protects a seedling; it also produces more flowers than the same plants of similar large size growing on their own.”Other benefits of nurse-seedling partnerships include that more variety of plants growing together can have apositive effect on the environment. For example, vegetation areas with nurse plants with more flowers might be able to attract higher numbers of pollinators(传粉者)in an area, in turn supporting insect and soil life and even provide a greater range of different fruit types for birds and other animals.“The biggest winner for this system of nursing a plant is biodiversity(生物多样性),” Dr Rocio said. “The more biodiversean area, the greater number of species of plants, insect life, mammals and birds, and the better the chances of long-term healthy functioning of the environment and ecosystems. ” This system is win-win for adult and seedling plants in unfavorable environments.The research is of value to those who manage and protect plants in tough environments. Most home gardeners and farmers plan to ensure their soil and conditions are the best they can be for plant growth, but the findings might be of value to those who garden in bare places.12. What is a common understanding of plants?A. They can help each other.B. They can survive ill conditions.C. They compete with each other.D. They grow well on their own.13. What will happen to seedling plants if they grow under adult plants?A. They will produce more flowers.B. They will die owing to competition.C. They will make adult plants larger.D. They will get support from adult plants.14. What is the effect of the nurse-seedling partnership?A. It leads to unfavorable environments.B. It produces long-term healthy chances.C. It attracts higher and larger pollinators.D It provides a more variety of plant types.15. Who will benefit from the new research?A. People studying organic farming.B. People protecting plants on sand hills.C. People wanting to change biodiversity.D. People keeping more animals on the farm.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

AStudent Film FestivalStudent Film Festival celebrates learning across the curriculum through the exciting and dynamic medium of short film.Through film,students can tell stories,investigate ideas,document learning in any area of study and express the complexity of their thinking through a range of genres and technical approaches.With the creative use of digital media,students can integrate their personal perspectives to explore the diverse and challenging issues of our time.It’s open to all students,regardless of school.We are accepting submissions in the following categories:Cartoon（up to30mins）Documentary（纪录片）（up to60mins）Music Video（under10mins）Science Fiction Short（up to25mins）Situational Comedy（under10mins）Web Series（up to three episodes,no more than30mins each）So far,more than20entries have been selected across all categories.We will gradually announce the chosen entries for each category,giving you a chance to watch all the films online and vote for your favourites.Winners in all categories will be announced on Wednesday,27December.Over the years,our film festivals have attracted thousands of filmmakers from around the world.Each festival features live screenings in our own school theater.Our80-seat theater is outfitted with a4K projector and seven speakers throughout the venue,delivering high quality in a first-class screening environment.Filmmakers whose works are accepted into our festival will receive free passes to the school theater,invitations to film masterclasses,and are considered for awards.21.Which of the following can be a suitable submission to the festival?A.A20-minute recording of a short play.B.A two-hour film recording your daily routine.C.A five-minute fun video about students'dormitory life.D.A22-minute educational video explaining popular science.22.What can filmmakers do if their works are accepted?A.Receive a film award.B.Watch films for free in the school theater.C.Interview film masters.D.Deliver a speech in the venue.23.What is the text?A.A schedule for the film selecting process.B.An invitation to a filmmakers'celebration.C.An announcement of a film festival awards.D.An advertisement for an upcoming festival.BOnce the choice of royal household,the watermelon has gained popularity rapidly over the years,and an online grocer reported that the fruit's sales on the platform had increased sixfold from 2020to2022,resulting in increasingly high demand for watermelon quality testers.Lee,32,is extremely busy in the summer months.Just by holding the watermelon near his ear and knocking on the surface with his fingers,Lee says,he can tell by the sound if the fruit is ripe enough to be eaten or not.He works for a rural cooperative set up by a group of watermelon farmers,and puts thousands of watermelons through the"knock test"daily,before they are shipped to downtown warehouses where the platform sources its supplies.The practice of knocking on watermelons to determine their ripeness can be found across cultures.In China,it is considered a national habit.Smart buyers tap on the fruit before purchase to ensure their money is well-spent.Some buyers knock on the fruit despite not knowing what the hollow sound means just to negotiate a better deal from the seller.As fruit sales have moved to online platforms in a big way,those who make a living by checking the quality of the fruits with their fingers are much in demand.Lee is one among the growing group.Their task is to conduct knock tests on behalf of e-buyers and ensure that the fruits selected to be sold online are uniform in size and quality.Lee,who was once an award-winning soccer player,now describes himself as a"goalkeeper for watermelons".He quit soccer about four years ago and learned about melon-knocking as an emerging profession and decided to become an apprentice（学徒）to an experienced farmer.After a year's trial and error,Lee worked independently as a quality checker."It is a highly demanding task.During the apprenticeship,I often cracked open melons to confirm my judgment. There are just no shortcuts,"he said.24.What is the main purpose of the text?A.To introduce an emerging profession.B.To describe Lee's career transformation.C.To discuss the importance of fruit quality testers.D.To explain the cultural role of watermelon-knocking.25.What has led to the high demand for watermelon quality testers?A.The popularity of watermelons.B.The big harvest of watermelons.C.An increase in watermelon prices.D.A rapid rise in online watermelon sales.26.Why does Lee describe himself as a"goalkeeper for watermelons"?A.He was once an award-winning soccer player.B.He dreams of being a professional melon-knocker.C.He was taught by an experienced watermelon farmer.D.He ensures that customers enjoy watermelons of quality.27.What can we learn from Lee's words in the last paragraph?A.Seeing is believing.B.Every man has his value.C.Great efforts and practice matter.D.Excellence can be found in any profession.CA moment occurs in the exchange between professor and student when each of us adopts a look.My look says,"What,you don't understand?"Theirs says,"We don't.And we think you're making it up."We are having a problem.Basically,we've all read the same story,but we haven't used the same analytical approaches.It may seem at times as if the professor is inventing interpretations out of thin air.Actually,the truth is that as the slightly more experienced reader,the professor has acquired over the years the use of a certain"language reading".Besides,he has grasped three professional tools-memory,symbol and pattern.These items separate the professional readers from the ordinary ones.English professors are cursed with memory.When reading a new book,I constantly seek out connections and inferences,recalling faces and themes from past readings.I can't not do it,although there are plenty of times when that ability is not something I want to exercise.This does not necessarily improve the experience of popular entertainment.Professors also read and think symbolically.Everything is a symbol of something,it seems, until proven otherwise.We ask:What does the thing over there represent?The kind of mind that works its way through undergraduate and then graduate classes in literature and criticism tends to see things as existing in themselves while also representing something else.This tendency tounderstand the world in symbolic terms is enhanced by years of training and rewards the symbolic imagination.A related phenomenon in professorial reading is pattern recognition.Most professional students of literature learn to take in the specific detail while seeing the patterns that the detail reveals.Experience has proved to them that life and books fall into similar patterns.Literature is full of patterns,and your reading experience will be much more rewarding when you can step back from the work,even while you are reading it,and look for those patterns.28.How does the author introduce the topic?A.By describing a real-life scene.B.By using popular quotes.C.By presenting conflicting ideas.D.By raising an interesting question.29.Why do the students think the professor is making up interpretations?A.They have limited life experience.B.They lack chances for sufficient reading.C.They are unable to analyze the text thoroughly.D.They do not trust the professor's teaching abilities.30.What does paragraph3say about English professors?A.They have a strong desire to not have their good memory.B.Their reading habit doesn't always guarantee desirable effects.C.Their memory adds to their reading pleasure of popular works.D.They keep making connections with their own life while reading.31.Which is the author's suggestion on reading literature?A.Identify the hidden text modes.B.Perceive many things at the same time.C.Look for details and language patterns.D.Memorize patterns of symbolic meanings.DResearch is making surprising discoveries about insects:Honeybees have emotional ups and downs.Cockroaches have personalities and team up to make decisions.Fruit flies experience something very like fear.We're pretty sure other humans have feelings because they can tell us.But we don't know whether the bee is buzzing in anger or in fear.Human babies are silent on the matter,too.It was only in the1980s that doctors came to believe human babies felt pain.In recent years,humans have gradually offered membership in the sentience club not only to their own young,but to some other animals.In the last decade,many countries have begun to ban experimentation on all great apes.And some ocean creatures were recently recognized as sentient. But with insects,the question remains open.Andrew Barron and Colin Klein are behind much of the foundational work on bee brains.In 2016,they published a paper arguing that insects'brains have the capacity for subjective experience. Their argument follows on the research of Swedish scientist BjörnMerker,whose work suggests that the more basic forms of consciousness（意识）are located not in the cortex（大脑皮层）, which insects do not have,but in subcortical structures of the brain,which insects do have."These subcortical structures are quite big and have a huge amount of processing power,"says Barron. They also argue that these structures may have been the earlier forms of our consciousness during evolutionary development.Other researchers are digging into the question,too.Jessica Ware notes that she's unsure what the similarities in these subcortical structures mean for insect consciousness."We don't really have enough information to distinguish between what could be consciousness or awareness of the surroundings and what could be us humans interpreting that as consciousness,she says.Still,Ware loves the idea of expanding the discussion of consciousness."The doors are just opening up for further exploration,"she says."This means we might have stopped looking at what it means to be conscious from a human-centered view."32.Why is it challenging to determine the emotional states of insects?A.Insects tend to hide their emotions.B.Insects are not capable of communication.C.Insects rarely experience human-like emotions.D.Insects cannot convey their emotions to humans.33.What does the underlined phrase"sentience club"refer to in paragraph3?A.Animals selected for scientific research.B.Social clubs founded to protect animals.C.Creatures recognised as having consciousness.anizations committed to emotion management.34.What do Barron and Klein argue about insect brains?A.They have developed in similar ways as human brains.B.They have the competence for emotions and consciousness.C.They have the same processing power as human beings do.D.They produce some basic forms of consciousness in the cortex.35.What is Ware's concern about Barron and Klein's argument?A.The lack of theoretical foundation.B.The possibility of misinterpretation.C.The underestimation of brain function.D.The use of inappropriate research method.第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分,满分12.5分）阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

AWhile you're grounded and social distancing,you can still travel the world through the pages of these novels whose setting is often the main character.Whether going back in time to Cartegna,Colombia in"Love in the Time of Cholera"or getting lost on a remote volcanic Russian peninsula in"Disappearing Earth",these books will transport you all around the globe.1.'Snow Falling on Cedars'by David GutersonPuget Sound,WashingtonWhile San Piedro is a fictional island in the real life San Juan Islands off Washington,the location of this haunting mystery is believed to be based on Bainbridge Island,which is more to the south in Puget Sound.But for anyone who's been to these Pacific Northwest islands and experienced their pine and cedar forests and quiet harbors,the book's description of San Piedro rings true:"a brand of green beauty that inclined its residents toward the poetical."2.'Disappearing Earth'by Julia PhillipsKamchatka Peninsula,RussiaThis detective fiction's main character is Kamchatka,the remote Siberian peninsula full of unique characters who reveal the ethnic and cultural conflicts of the region,all connected by a crime.3.'Love in the Time of Cholera'by Gabriel Garcia MarquezCartagena,ColombiaAlthough the location of the book goes unnamed,it's generally accepted that Marquez's hometown was the inspiration for this story of unrequited love.The film adaptation was shot within the walls of the Old City.4.'Florida'by Lauren GroffFloridaStorms,snakes,sinkholes and stories?Welcome to Florida.The fantastical tales in this collection span centuries,characters and

see a beautiful cloud while driving,taking in the colorful light during a sunset,or watching birds flying south,I begin to think what we are supposed to learn from nature and animals.Nature does not hurry,yet everything is accomplished.As seasons change,we are guided to learn acceptance and non-resistance.A green leaf doesn't resist turning red when autumn approaches.Trees don't resist leaves falling when winter arrives.They stand deeply rooted in the ground,with their vulnerability out in the open and branches spread wide,giving up to the universe.Do what you will with me;I trust it is for my highest good.Who said that the bamboo is more beautiful than the maple tree and maple tree is more valuable than the bamboo?Does the bamboo feel jealous of the maple tree because it is bigger and its leaves change color?The idea of trees comparing themselves to others is ridiculous,as should humanscomparing themselves to one another.We must compare our growth to who we were yesterday not to the growth of another.Everyone is incomparably unique.The community of bees and ants all participate together to benefit all those in their community.We each have our own calling that is best performed by us.Each part is necessary for a functioning family,community,nation and world.Embrace your special responsibility,share it proudly with the world,and always do your best.Birds flying through the sky represent the limitless freedom and potential available to us if werelease our fears.Taking off to fly for the first time can be scary and bring about feelings of fear.Without taking

project that links professors with underprivileged teenagers.The new project between King's College London(KCL)and Newham Sixth Form College in east London offering lessons in Classics to bright senior-three students is now in its second year.Students from disadvantaged backgrounds with high academic potential can attend the classes,which are designed to inspire and engage them in challenging topics that are often the preserve of private schools.Lecturers cover subjects including ancient literature,religion,theology,Persian history and philosophy.Some teenagers from neighbouring state schools also attend.The students act out Greek plays such as Antigone by Sophocles and are encouraged to consider Classics as a degree.Edith Hall,a Classics lecturer at KCL,said:"We wanted to enable the students from Newham to understand the richness and relevance of the classical world.They have a unique opportunity to engage with world-class lecturers,”Juned Malek,19,who is in his first year at KCL,was introduced to literature,theology,history and philosophy by the classical outreach program when he was at Newham.He now helps to run it.He said the program was"essential in making the myths that surround studying Classics disappear,namely that it is an elitist(精英）subject or that it has limited career opportunities".The analytical skills that the degree develops are in high demand by employers,particularly investment banks and law firms.He said all schools should teach Classics to give a"basic introduction of historical principles passed down through millennia",adding:"A limited classical education leaves you stuck in the constant present,lacking the ability to use the past as a frame of reference when making decisions."8.Why do the professors start the project?A.To control the study time.B.To help the underprivileged students.C.To help the talented students from KCL.D.To inspire and engage all students in challenging topics.9. According to the text,who may attend the classes?A.A naughty student with no talent in study.B.A bright student with a talent for music.C.A clever student with disadvantaged background.D.A talented student with private school learning background.10.According to the text,which is one of the benefits of studying Classics?A.Being admitted to the private school.B.Having limited career choices.C.Observing the life of the elitists.D.Having reference when making decisions.D b11.Which section in a magazine is this text most likely from?cation.B. Technology.C.Business.D.Science.DAuthorities in China have approved a drug for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease(早老性痴呆），the first new medicine with the potential to treat the cognitive(认知的）disorder in 17 years.The seaweed-based drug,called Oligomannate,can be used for the treatment of mild to moderate Alzheimer's,according to a statement from China's drug safety agency.The approval is conditionalhowever,meaning that while it can go on sale during additional clinical trials,it will be strictly monitored and could be withdrawn if any safety issues should arise.In September,the team behind the new drug,led by Geng Meiyu at the Shanghai Institute of Materia Medica under the Chinese Academy of Sciences,said they were inspired to look into seaweed due to the relatively low incidence of Alzheimer's among people who consume it regularly.In a paper in the journal Cell Research,Geng's team described how a sugar contained within seaweed prevents certain bacteria contained in the gut(肠子）which can cause neural decline and infection of the brain,leading to Alzheimer's.This mechanism was confirmed during a clinical trial carried out by Green Valley,a Shanghai based pharmaceutical company that will be bringing the new drug to market.Conducted on 818 patients,the trial found that Oligomannate-which is got from brown algae(海藻）－can statistically improve cognitive function among people with Alzheimer's in as little as four weeks,according to a statement from Green Valley."The company said Oligomannate will be available in China"very soon",and it is currently seeking approval to market it abroad,with plans to launch third-phase clinical trials in the US and Europe in early 2020.12.What can Oligomannate be used for?A.Curing the severe Alzheimer's.B.Treating the minor Alzheimer's.C.Killing all bacteria in the body.D.Treating all cognitive disorders.13.What inspired the team to look into the seaweed?A.The praise from a patient with Alzheimer's.B.An incident of brain infection in the laboratory.C.The approval for the seaweed research from the authorities.D.The low occurrence of the disease among people eating the seaweed.14.What causes the Alzheimer's?A.The brown algae.B.The wound of the head.C.Some bacteria contained in the gut.D.A sugar contained within seaweed.15.What is the company Green Valley's attitude to the future of Oligomannate?A.Optimistic.B.Uncertain.C.Indifferent.D.Anxious.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。

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 ban on distracted walkingYou can’t walk down the street without passing so-called “smartphone zombies ( 僵尸).” They are too absorbed in their screen (21) (watch) where they are going. Almost four in ten people admit having suffered a technology-related small accident (22) they pay more attention to their electronic device than to the pavement.Now the city of Honolulu, Hawaii, has decided it’s time to take immediate action and make it illegal to cross the road while using a mobile phone. Those (23) (catch) using phones, tablets or other electronic devices at crossing points could face a fine of up to $100.Honolulu is the first major U.S. city to ban (24) is called “distracted walking.” It comes after a study found there (25) (be) more than 11,000 injuries in the United States resulting from phone-related distraction while walking in the past few years.To explain the decision, mayor Kirk Caldwell said, “We hold the unfortunate honor of being a major city (26) more pedestrians are hit in crosswalks than almost any other city in the country.”Under the fine systems, (27) breaks this law for the first time will get a fine of $15 to $35. People breaking the law for a second or third time will get a $99 fine.The law, which is called the Distracted Walking Law, does permit an exception. Pedestrians (28) use such devices in the street to call emergency services and rescue workers, such as firefighters and police officers.If you still want to text while walking, you could avoid (29) (fine) in Honolulu by using a voice-controlled digital assistant such as Siri or Google Assistant. Or you could just wait (30) you are again, safely, off the street.K. purchasesJ. deliberatelyG. financialH. immediatelyI. listingF. engagingE. downloadedD. deposit C. declined B. balance A. parental Section BDirections: Fill in each blank with a proper word chosen from the box. Each word can be used only once. Note that there is one word more than you need.Giving kids allowances in the smartphone ageAllowances are a constant. No matter how much technology interferes with the parent-child relationship, kids still want money and parents still want to impart (赋予) a basic work ethic. But putting stickers on chore (日常事务) charts and dropping coins in piggy banks don’t cut it with the smartphone generation.Parents in search of more 31 ways to teach children the value of money are turning to allowance-tracking apps, where kids can see their32rise and fall in real time.Bonnie Koon, a mother of three in Crawfordville, Fla., used to post a calendar on her refrigerator33her kids chores, to the embarrassment of her 16-year-old twins. After seeing a Facebook ad for the app Greenlight, she34 it.Greenlight links to parents’ bank accounts so that the payout can be seamless. Parents can encourage saving by paying interest on the money that isn’t spent 35 — interest out of the parents’ own pockets, of course.It’s the first taste of 36 freedom for many kids, and it’s set in a relatively safe env ironment. Parents can determine spending limits and choose the retailers （零售商）where a child can make37 . If a child attempts tobuy something at an unapproved store or to spend more than the limit, the transaction ( 交 易 ) is 38andparents get a notification. And if a kid loses the card, parents can immediately cancel it from the app.One of Ms. Koon’s twins, Brenna, works part time at a restaurant. She’s putting half of her pay check into a car -insurance savings fund she set up in the app, with the goal of saving $450 by July. With each 39 , the app gives Brenna a progress update.Some parents might worry that relying on apps to get kids to do chores only encourages them to be on their phones more. But parents who have chosen this approach argue that they are meeting their kids where they are and that it takes the40nagging ( 唠 叨 ) out of the equation. The real-time look at their accounts makes the concepts ofsaving and spending more tangible than reviewing a bank statement.III. Reading Comprehension Section AIf you like to take a walk in the woods in the United States or you prefer to decorate a tree at Christmas, you should know that climate change is making both of those activities a lot more 41 .Looking at two 42 and economically important species——the Douglas fir and the Ponderosa pine —— scientists found that fires and drought 43 by climate change make new growth difficult, especially in low-elevation forests, according to a study published Monday in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.Some forests in four regions in California, Colorado, the Northern Rockies and the southwestern part of the United States have crossed “a(n) 44 climate tipping ( 转折) point for post-fire tree generation,” the study says.Climate conditions over the past 20 years have 45 changes that would have taken decades or even centuries to 46 across broad regions of the country. This is leading to the sudden 47 of trees and making these lands increasingly unsuitable for tree regeneration.“Climate change is 48 our forests now, not just in some distant future. Maybe in areas where there are really 49 seed sources, there could be some trees, but it is becoming really hard to get these trees back due to climate change,”said study co-author Kim Davis.The problem probably won’t get any better, as climate change is making intense wildfires much more50 . Western foresters say there used to be a fire season. But devastating and 51 fires have become a reality all year long. In 2018, fire cost California more than $9.05 billion, according to the USA insurance commissioner, the deadliest and most destructive wildfire season in the 52 history.A higher number of fires and low seed availability means a high probability that these t rees in these regions won’t come back, Davis said. This study 53 on the driest and hottest areas of the Western forests, but researchers will next try to focus on how much will be impacted.54 , there are some things people can do to ease some of this problem. Forest management plans that reduce high-severity burns can help. Increasingly, forest managers are considering allowing some fires to burn under more moderate conditions, Davis said. Forest 55can also replant trees after fire, at least in the areas where climate conditions will allow.41. A. convenient B. difficult C. encouraging D. frustrating42. A. ecologically B. apparently C. physically D. financially43. A. destroyed B. worsened C. extended D. established44. A. necessary B. enormous C. critical D. invisible45.

What’s more55. A. savers B. managers C. researchers D. advocatesSection BDirections: 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)EU members’ states have agreed to ban a toxic substance widely found in clothing because it poses an “acceptable risk” to the environment. Countries voted in favor of extending existing restrictions on nonylphenol ethoxylates (NPE) to imports of clothing and other textile products.The measure is intended to protect species in water. Use of NPE in textile manufacture in Europe was banned over 10 years ago but the substance is still released into the water environment through imported textiles being washed.NPE degrades in the environment into substances including nonylphenol (NP), which accumulates in the bodies of fish and disturbs their hormones, harming fertility, growth and sexual development.NPE is used in textile manufacture as a cleaning and dyeing agent. The EU decision notes that several studies have found NPE to be present in textile items.A 2011 study by Greenpeace found NPE in two-thirds of clothes tested, including items sold by big-name brands such as Adidas, H&M, Lacoste, and Ralph Lauren. The NGO (Non-Governmental Organizations) argued that although concentrations of NPE found in the clothes were low, the chemical’s existence in the environment posed a risk.The new ban on textiles containing NPE in concentrations equal to or greater than 0.01% will enter into force five years after it is adopted by the European Commission, which is likely to happen in September.In comments submitted to ECHA (European Chemicals Agency), clothing and textile firms have warned that obeying the restriction will be difficult because NPE is ubiquitous in the supply chain and has numerous uses.The new restriction will not apply to second-hand goods or recycled textiles because it is assumed that these will already have been washed several times so they contain negligible (微不足道的) amounts of NPE.EU countries must eliminate pollution of water bodies by NP as it is a priority substance under the Water Framework Directive. A 2013 study by the UK environment agency warned that emissions from textiles could prevent progress towards this objective. It found 29% of imported cotton underwear contained NPE, which was released during the first two washes by the consumer.56.The 2011 study by Greenpeace found .A.29% of imported cotton underwear contained NPEB.NPE had limited effects on aquatic speciesC.NPE was widely present in textile productsD.clothes of good quality had no concentrations of NPE57.What’s the possible meaning of the underlined part “is ubiquitous” in Paragraph 7?A. is legally protectedB. is not easy to be foundC. seems to be everywhereD. is uncommon58.What can we learn from the text?A.The original ban on use of NPE was very effective.B.Recycled textiles contain less NPE.C.The new ban on imports of textiles has come into force.D.The UK environment agency is optimistic about the new ban.59.Which section of the website does the text come from?A. Lifestyle.B. Technology.C. Business.D. Environment.(B)Letters Comments on the March Issue40 Smart Ways to Saveat the SupermarketYour caution not to fall for fake sales reminded me of when I was a stock boy at my neighborhood grocery in the 1950s. One time, we got a delivery of off-band vegetables. I priced them at ten cents a can. I don’t think we sold more than six cans—until I put up a sign that said “Special: Nine for $1.” I set them out Thursday evening, and by noon on Saturday they were gone.Edward Deckerd,Perryville, MissouriTrapped Inside a GlacierReading about John All’s experience on Mount Himlung was very inspiring to me. A man with 15 broken bones and bleeding internally being able to climb up a 70-foot wall of ice and survive for 18 hours at 20,000 feet is something that I would have thought to be impossible. I am 16 years old and a lifelong reader. Out of all the great content in Reader’s Digest, stories like his are the ones I enjoy the most.Sam Kieffer,Richardson, TexasBill’s Last, Best GiftTracy Grant’s article resonated ( 与产生共鸣) deeply with me. Twelve years ago, my husband, Don, was diagnosed with terminal brain cancer. As his caregiver, I, too, learned to appreciate the people and things around me and not to sweat the small stuff, and in the long run, I became a much better person. Don also gave me his last, best gift of love and peace.Antia Lawrence,San Diego, CaliforniaDishes Professional Chefs Cookin the MicrowaveMicrowaving live lobsters is inhumane and cruel. Because lobsters feel pain, Switzerland has recently outlawed the practice of boiling them live. A similar law was passed in Italy, where it is now illegal to put lobsters on ice before cooking them. I hope you provide an update to your story promoting humane practices instead of cruel and violent ones.Janet Toole,Phoenixville, Pennsylvania60.How did Antia Lawrence react to her husband’s diagnosis?A.She felt very painful.B.She gained some life lessons.C.She paid more attention to her own health.D.She showed deep sympathy for her husband.61.According to Sam Kieffer’s letter, what can be learn about John All?A.He is an expert in mountaineering.B.He wrote the article entitled Trapped Inside a Glacier.C.Not all people could survive in the same situation as he did.D.His story is the best one that Sam Kieffer has ever read in Reader’s Digest.62.Who is likely to disagree with what is said in the commented article?A.Edward Deckerd.B. Antia Lawrence.(C)What makes us love some things and hate others? We know that sometimes even the tiniest change can result in a huge difference in how we perceive something, so is there any rhyme or reason to our tastes and preferences? Here are three factors which play a role.1.Conforming to expectationsIn London a few years ago, two talented rappers called Silibil N’ Brains took to the stage to perform at a music industry show for unsigned bands. They were an instant hit. Their outrageous West Coast-American style, brilliant rap lyrics and couldn’t-care-less attitude had the music industry’s talent spotters falling over themselves to sign the pair. In a short space of time, Silibil N’ Brains had a deal with a top management company, a contrac t with a major record label and an advance of $70, 000 —and they hadn’t even made a record. Before long, they were on tour with Eminem and out partying with Madonna. They were living the dream.But two years ago the same two rappers were laughed off stage by the same talent spotters for singing the same songs. So what was the difference? Amazingly, it was their accent. You see, Silibil N’ Brains weren’t, in fact, from West Coast U.S.A. at all. They were from Dundee in Scotland. During the first audition they had used their Scottish accents when rapping and it hadn’t gone down well. “They just laughed at us,” recalled Brains. “We were heartbroken. We went back to Scotland with our tail between our legs.” The lesson for them was that to succeed, you have to c onform to expectations and at that time everyone expected rappers to be American.2.The benefit of hindsightSome people are simply ahead of their time. It’s common knowledge that Vincent van Gogh sold only one painting in his lifetime — the other 900 or so were unknown and unloved until after his death. Monet’s paintings, at least in his early career, was considered incomplete and ugly by critics at the time, while Vermeer, the painter of Girl With a Pearl Earring, even had to use his mother-in-law as a guarantor when he borrowed money — so unable was he to sell any of his work! Now that public taste has caught up with these artists, more or less anything they touched has an astronomical price tag attached to it. Perhaps the reason is that it just takes a while to get used to something — after all, not all beauty is obvious at first sight.3.A reassuring price tagIn a world where the range of products on offer can be completely bewildering, we often look to price as an indication of quality. We may think we prefer the expensive wine to the cheap one, but we may simply be influenced by the price tag. Even professionals can make the mistake. A researcher from the University of Bordeaux in France took an average bottle of red wine and poured it into two empty bottles, one with an expensive label and the other with a cheap one. Then he invited 57 wine “experts” to taste the wine. Forty of them recommended the wine from the expensive bottle, describing it as “agreeable”, “complex”, “balanced” and “rounded,” while the same wine from the cheap bottle was described as “weak” and “flat”, with only 12 of the experts recommending it. The study made the researcher unpopular with the French wine tasters, but he did prove that price has a significant impact on taste.63.Which of the following statements about Silibil N’ Brains is true?A. Talent spotters fell in love with them at first sight.B. They are from the West Coast of America.C.Their success was attributed to behaving and sounding like American rappers.D.They were friends with famous stars like Madonna even before they succeeded.64.The underlined phrase “with our tail between our legs”indicates that .A. their first audition proved a failureB. they felt proud of their performanceC. they learned a valuable lessonD. being humble might contribute to their future success65.We can infer from the second factor that .A.some artists are better known when they are alive than when they are deadB.public taste usually falls behind famous artistsC.beauty at first sight lasts much longerD.Monet’s paintings are priceless because of their incompleteness66.What can we learn from the last paragraph?A.A price tag always fails to indicate the quality of a product.B.A price tag is less likely to confuse customers than the packaging.C.Low price will make the wine unpopular with tasters.D.A price tag will cloud a person’s judgement of something.Section CDirections: Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.A.Between August and April, they sought food in low elevations (海拔) on China’s Qinling Mountains.B.Scientists think the research shows that pandas are very clever.C.Pandas eat bamboo all day long except when they are sleeping or playing.D.The gene for their “umami taste receptors” became inactive.E.They fed on them until they went back down the mountain and started eating Bashania fargesii leaves again.F.Scientists have conducted many studies on pandas’ eating habits.Are Bamboo-Eating Pandas Really Herbivores?On the outside, giant pandas look like herbivores (食草动物). They spend nearlyall of their waking hours eating bamboo. But on the inside, they’re built likecarnivores ( 食肉动物). About half of the calories they eat come from protein,according to a new study.The ancestor of giant pandas were omnivorous (杂食的). They ate both animalsand plants, and had the digestive system and gut bacteria to metabolize (使发生新陈代谢) them. They had “umami taste receptors,” to appreciate the flavors of meat.However, about 2.4 million years ago, things began to change. 67 Their jaw and teeth evolved to help them crush bamboo, and their wrist bone became capable of grasping the stalks ( 秆) of their favorite plant. Scientists think pandas switched to eating bamboo partly because they didn’t have to fight with other animals to get it. Bamboo is high in fiber but has a low concentration of nutrients, so pandas have to eat 20 to 40 pounds of the plant every day just to get by.David Raubenheimer, a nutritional ecologist at the University of Sydney, and his colleagues put GPS trackers on two giant pandas and followed their movements throughout the year. They discovered that the pandas followed the protein. 68 At the start of the cycle, they ate Bashania fargesii leaves until they got the chance to feast on young shoots, which contained more protein.The more the shoots grew, the more their protein was diluted ( 冲淡) by fiber. That caused the pandas to move to higher ground, where Fargesia qinlingensis grew. First, they ate the shoots, but these, too, went from being protein-rich to fiber-rich as they grew. The pandas responded by switching to the leaves. 69 The researchers found that about half of the calories the pandas ate were in the form of protein.70 “They can know exactly where to go, and when to go, so they can get the most of the nutrients that their ecosystem can provide,” said Silvia Pineda-Munoz, who was not involved in the study.The work also shows that classifying an animal as herbivore or carnivore is more complex than one might assume. “It’s not whether you’re eating plants but what part of the plants you’re eating,” said Pineda-Munoz.IV.Summary WritingDirections: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.71.Herbal MedicineHerbal medicine, which has been used for medicinal purposes, is the use of plants to treat diseases. Many herbalists use the entire plant, from the flowers, stems, leaves, and roots, in the form of everything from teas to pills. These plants contain natural, chemical things that can treat the body for a variety of diseases，such as allergies, asthma, rheumatoid arthritis, migraine, chronic fatigue, and cancer, among others.Nowadays an increasing number of people prefer to adopt these plants to treat their diseases because, compared with chemical medicine, herbal medicine has its own advantages. Herbal medicine and remedies are more effective than chemical medicine for certain diseases. The chemical medicine given by a chemist could have certain negative side effects. However, many of the herbal medicine and remedies do not have negative side effects. If any, they are softer than chemical medicine. Obesity is the cause of many of the health problems. Herbal medicine can help weight loss more effectively and improve overall health.However, the cure using herbal medicine and supplements would take some time, and therefore people are supposed to possess enough patience. Worse still, herbal medicine contains a variety of ingredients and people have to be sure that their body agrees with the ingredients and that it is not allergic (过敏).A point worth mentioning here is that herbal remedies and medicine for certain illnesses may have negative side effects. These side effects may not be shown at once, but would take months or even years. In the early stages, if the herbal medicine is not agreeing with you, it is wise to stop using it.When used correctly and directed by doctors, herbs can help treat a variety of diseases. But keep in mind that the herbal medicine industry is not regulated, so herbal products are often misleading and may contain additives that are not listed on the label. Some herbs may cause allergic reactions or interact with other drugs, and some are poisonous if used improperly or at high doses. Taking herbs on your own increases your risk.V.TranslationDirections: Translate the following sentences into English, using the words given in the brackets.72.一闻到这种蛋糕的味道我就总会想起童年。

and in the evening，they described their experiences over the course of that day．Each morning the participants also viewed a short video，describing workplace interaction of some kind．Half of the mornings，the video included some kind of rudeness while the other half had some kind of warm interaction in the workplace．Rudeness was conveyed through various means，including a lack of eye contact or unpleasant language．Participants who watched the rudeness videos reported seeing or experiencing rudeness during the day，and they were also more likely to escape from fellow employees to avoid being the victims of rudeness themselves．They reported their overall work suffered that day as a result．Not all participants were affected by the rudeness videos，however．A few weeks before the study began，the participants completed an evaluation that measured their self-confidence and emotional stabilityamong other things．The participants who scored higher on this evaluation were significantly less likely to be influenced by the rudeness．Consequently，one of the researchers recommended that companies hire managers who can limit exposure to rudeness，provide plenty of positive reinforcement(强化) and build a civil workplace environment．This，in turn，could help employees build their confidence levels and help them better handle workplace rudeness．28．What is Paragraph 1 intended to show？A．The popularity of rudeness．B．A regular cause of rudeness．C．A new finding about rudeness．D．The common disadvantage of rudeness．29．Why are the short videos played for the participants？A．To make them spread rudeness．B．To educate them on workplace interaction．C．To expose them to various aspects of rudeness．D．To teach them how to use right body languages．30．What is the probable effect of watching the videos on some participants？A．Being unwilling to work．B．Poor ability to do their work．C．Serious emotional sufferings．D．Less interaction with others．31．Who may not be affected by the rudeness videos？A．People positive and kind to themselves．B．People keeping calm in stressful situations．C．People owning confidence i n others’ ability．D．People participating in the rudeness experiment．DIt is known to us all that most animals only perform tricks when given treats．However，Kim，the world’s first spider to learn a skill，needs no stimulus(刺激物) to do what she loves—jumping from different heights and distances—upon the instruction of a team of scientists from the University of Manchester．While the idea of training a spider might sound evil，the researchers’ motives were purely scientific．They are trying to unlock the secrets behind the jumping spiders’ extraordinarily high leaps to catch prey or to escape their enemies．A better understanding of the spiders’ leaps would help experts develop more efficient flying and jumping robots．The scientists found that Kim could gather enough force in her legs to jump more than six times the length of her own body from a stationary position．What was even more amazing was that she always landed perfectly．For shorter distances，Kim used a lot of energy，resulting in quick leaps，which the researchers believe probably increases her chances of catching fast-moving prey．The farther the distance，the less extra energy was used，resulting in slower but precise leaps．Previous studies have indicated that spiders use both their muscles and hydraulic(液压的) pressure—a mechanism by which blood is transferred to their extended legs—to push them off the ground．However，in Kim’s case，her leg muscles alone appeared to be generating enough force for the liftoff．The researchers now intend to do further research to comprehend fully not just the spiders’ jumping technique，but that of other insects as well．“We are familiar with robots that are aimed at taking over human functions，but there are millions of insects in the world that perform specific functions that we have interest in adapting to robotics，” says Nabawy，the leading engineer of the researching team．32．What is the purpose of scientists’ researching the jumping spider？A．To have fun and relax．B．To help develop robots．C．To get rid of spiders．D．To protect this species．33．Why did Kim use a lot of energy for short leaps？A．To jump high enough．B．To land more precisely．C．To catch fast-moving prey．D．To increase chances of escape．34．What does the underlined word “that” in the last paragraph refers t o？A．Jumping technique．B．Leg muscle．C．Further research．D．Energy for liftoff．35．What can be a suitable title of this passage？A．Jumping Techniques Used by Jumping SpiderB．Jumping Spider Inspired Creating RobotsC．Animals Perform Tricks if Provided with TreatsD．The World’s First Spider That Jumps on Demand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。
