I lied that I had eaten all my dinner. I lied that I had brushed my teeth. My lies were not hurting anyone, but I felt the need to say things that were not so.My parents tried everything to understand why I made up stuff. Was I looking for attention? Maybe. I soon realized the new attention I was getting was horrible. I was labeled a liar and my parents did not trust me.My sisters and I were invited to spend the weekend with my aunt. We all loved the times at Aunt Kim’s house because she spoiled us. She gave us the perfect food—hot dogs and cheese. She had cool pencils, erasers and other supplies that any young girl would love to have.Then it happened... someone took one of Aunt Kim’s art pencils and drew across the entire top of the wall.When Aunt Kim discovered the destruction, all three of us were asked to confess(承认). Nobody did! She told us how disappointed she was and was on the phone with my parents. They were on their way to pick me up!It had to be me! I was the liar. No amount of protesting could convince any of them that I had not committed the crime. I was taken home and sent to my room for the test of the day.And then there was a knock at the front door! Aunt Kim was standing there. It turns outmy younger sister finally felt guilty! She confessed that she was the oneFunny, I don’t even remember being m ad at my sister. I learned a valuable lesson.

Whether it’s for a birthday or other celebration, it’s hard to beat the excitement of opening a carefully wrapped box to find something that’s both unexpected and suits you perfectly. Now, imagine if you could get the same feeling when you go shopping for yourself. That’s the feeling that mystery boxes ho pe to create.Mystery boxes are not a new idea — they were a feature of department stores in Japan in the early 20th Century. They contain a range of different products, which are sold at a lower price than their combined value. The key thing is that custo mers don’t know what’s in the box before they buy. All kinds of mystery boxes are available: fashion boxes, food boxes, beauty boxes, even loot boxes, which are virtual items for video games.The pleasant surprise is not the only attraction of mystery boxes. They also allow people to try things that they otherwise wouldn’t. Seasonal vegetable subscription boxes might lead people to learn to cook new meals. They can also potentially offer great savings — as the recommended retail (零售) price of the contents is often far higher than the purchase price. For retailers and suppliers the benefits are clear —it allows them to sell unwanted stock. British fashion mystery box entrepreneur Mario Maher highlight s how mystery boxes canhelp reduce the amount of waste in the fashion industry. People might discover product ranges that would otherwise be thrown away.There is an obvious downside to mystery boxes —when you buy them, you don’t know what you’ll get! It may be that the goods inside are not to your taste, but there is also the potential for criminals to make use of the unpredictability of mystery boxes to send items that have a much lower value than the price of the box.So, are mystery boxes a fun way of reducing waste and making shopping more exciting, or more an opportunity for disappointment, or worse — deception (欺骗)?8.What is Paragraph 2 mainly about?A. The price of mystery boxes.B. The definition of mystery boxes.C. The function of mystery boxes.D. The popularity of mystery boxes.9.What can be inferred from Paragraph 3?A. Mystery boxes contribute to producing waste.B. Buying mystery boxes is definitely a waste of money.C. The goods inside mystery boxes are not worth the price.D. Mystery boxes are welcome among customers and fashion industry.10.W hat is the author’s attitude towards mystery boxes?A. FavorableB. Indifferent.C. Pessimistic.D. Objective.11.How is the passage developed?A. By making analysis.B. By describing process.C. By presenting research results.D. By explaining cause and effect.We’re all familiar with the idea of climate change and how our planet is warming. Extremes in temperature have become more commonplace, making parts of the world difficult to live in. But one place where extreme heat is making life very uncomfortable is our cities. Luckily, innovation might be keeping it under control.As thermometers(温度计) record temperatures, sometimes above 50 degrees Celsius, solutions are being sought to cool the air in our cities. In India, for example, heatwaves and rapid urbanization have led to a big rise in the use of air-conditioning units, adding to CO2 emissions. So, architects, looking for a sustainable cooling solution, are copying an ancient lattice (框架) design, used in old buildings like the Taj Mahal, to construct comfortable,low-carbon buildings. Yatin Pandya told the BBC: “Traditional architectural forms have proven their performance in combating environmental conditions.”In America, about 80% of the population lives in cities, and it’s these cities that sufferfrom an urban heat island effect, caused by factors such as trapped waste heat, concrete structures and pavements absorbing the sun and tall buildings blocking the wind. Residents and developers have tried to cool these places by planting large trees that offer shade and putting plants and gardens on top of roofs to help trap heat. And in Los Angeles, there’s a experiment to cover street s with light-coloured material that reflects rather than absorbs the sun and so they remain cooler than typical black roads.But it’s satellites in space that are really giving us the best picture of our over-heated cities. Glynn Hulley, who is leading an image-capturing project, called the Land Surface Temperature Monitoring mission, told the BBC: “The data can be used to identify hot spots, weak regions, and assess the cooling impacts of heat mitigation (缓解) approaches.” It’s already found how green spaces, white roads and water features, have helped prevent our cities from boiling over. But with extreme heat still posing a threat to our lives, more solutions are still needed.12.What leads to the increase of CO₂ emissions?A. Invention of thermometers.B. Imitation of traditional architecture.C. Building of concrete structures.D. Application of air-conditioning units. 13.Why is Los Angeles mentioned?A. To prove it is miserable to suffer from heat.B. To show people are trying to solve problem.C. To demonstrate the benefit of modern buildings.D. To support the idea of low-carbon construction.14.What is the Land Surface Temperature Monitoring aimed at?A. Evaluating the cooling effect.B. Identifying city featuresC. Emphasizing threats to livesD. Testing image capturing technology.15.Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?A. Cities in DangerB. Dramatic Climate ChangeC. Temperature Monitoring MissionD. Cooling Hot Cities二、七选五16.Productivity can be a struggle for many of us. Overflowing (堆积的) email inboxes, housework, social obligations — it can be easy to feel overwhelmed. However, one simple tool that can help us stay updated is the to do list. ① _________There are three key reasons why lists are beneficial. Firstly, they help to reduce anxiety that comes with having never ending tasks. By writing everything down, we don’t have to rely on our memory and can instead focus on the task at hand. ② _________ As well as this, our brains are more likely to remember information that is presented in a structured and organized manner. And finally, lists serve as proof of what we have achieved. ③ _________④ _________ This is the name psychologists use for when we remember things we needto do our unfinished tasks, better than things we have already completed. Researchers from Wake Forest University tested the interference of the Zeigarnik effect on a group of people.⑤ _________ It was stopped half way through and only some people were allowed to make plans. The researchers found that the group permitted to plan bad reduced anxiety and performed better in the second task. The problem was, the others still had the warm up talk stuck in their active memory. So, once we tick something off our list, our brain forgets aboutit and we can relax.All in all, it seems lists are a valuable tool for staying updated!A. The experiment began with a warm up task.B. Write it down, do the tasks and cross them off — simple!C. They can help boost our sense of accomplishment and motivation.D. A to do list item is the kind of thing that will take long hours of work.E. Secondly, lists provide structure and guidance, giving us a plan to follow.F. However, in the never-ending sea of tasks, you feel like you aren’t keeping up.G. Another possible reason our brains love lists is because of something called the “Zeigarnik Effect”.三、完形填空(15空)I had a lovely beautiful strange aunt named Margita.

He was then awarded 157 credit points after the image was uploaded and recognized by artificial intelligence.“Users of the app can use their credit to buy gifts, such as books and cellphones to purchase charity meals donated to children in poor rural areas,” Lin said.A nationwide "Clear Your Plate" campaign is gaining steam online. Efforts to stop food waste and promote thrift are also being made by restaurants that have been urged to create an environment in which consumers are reminded not to waste food. They are also encouraged to offer different portion sizes so that customers can have more choices.The “Clear Plate” mini-program has become popular among young Chinese and currently has nearly 1 million users.Liu Jichen, founder of the startup that developed the app, said that the idea popped up at a dinner in 2017, when Liu found that a restaurant would give diners who polished off their food a card and offer small gifts after a certain number of cards had been collected.“Such an idea can be realized online,” Liu said. He formed a team to work on the project.Yet it was quite challenge for the AI system to identify whether the uploaded photos showed empty plates.To make the AI system smarter, Liu and his team, assisted by more than 1,000 others, spent half a year collecting over 100, 000 samples in canteens and restaurants across the country and used the data to train neural network. Dozens of enterprises, institutions and restaurants have contacted the startup to cooperate on the project.Through the visualized mini-program, people can clearly see the good results of saving food, which will effectively reduce waste, he noted. "We hope our efforts can start a new trend among the younger generation, encouraging them to carry out the virtue of cherishing food and developing the habit of thrift, " Liu said4.

Ensuring the app to recognize empty plates.D. Finding people to fund the app.7. What is the purpose of the writing?A. To introduce an app.B. To promote saving food.C. To praise a startup founder.D. To raise fund for poor children.CHave you ever done something that was really dangerous just because you thought it was safe?Maybe you did a dangerous trick on your bicycle or skateboard because you were wearing a helmet and thought you couldn’t get hurt. The psychology(心理) of this sort of behavior is called the Peltzman Effect, named after Sam Peltzman, professor of economics at the University of Chicago. Peltzman believes that those moments when people think they are the safest are the times when they act most dangerously.Peltzman said that people drove more dangerously when they wore seat belts(安全带) . Driving a large four-wheel drive vehicle has a similar effect on drivers’ behavior. Because drivers of large vehicles sit up higher and can see better, they feel they can make better judgments when they drive. They are better protected in accidents,so they act more dangerously. This makes driving morehazardousto other drivers.The Peltzman Effect isn’t just limited to driving. In 1972, the American Food and Drug Administration (FDA) passed a law requiring child safety caps on most medicine bottles. The safety caps were designed to prevent children from accidentally taking the medicine, especially painkillers such as aspirin. Requiring safety caps sounded like a great idea, but there was an unexpected side effect. Because the safety caps are so hardto take off, some people leave them off altogether.Worse, some parents leave the bottles where kids can reach them because they feel that it is safe because of the cap. A study on the Peltzman Effect showed that more than 3,500 children have been harmedby aspirin because of the safety caps.The Peltzman Effect describes how we’re likely to take more risks and act more dangerously when we feel safest. What’s more, the effects of these behaviors can be quite different from what we expect.8. What is the Peltzman Effect?A. People behave less safely when they feel safe.B. People feel safest when they are under protection.C. Something that seems dangerous turns out to be safe.D. People who act dangerously are likely to be together.9. What does the underlined word“hazardous”in Paragraph 2 mean?A. Interesting.B. Expensive.C. Dangerous.D. Important.10. Medicine bottles with safety caps ________.A. are required throughout the worldB. meet the demands of the Peltzman EffectC. sell well in the worldD. are not completely safe11. What would be the best title for the text?A. Unsafe Safety MeasuresB. Types of Decision MakingC. People’s Fear of Taking RisksD. Different Behaviors of People in DangerDIf our kids don’t fall, they don’t learn to get up. I still remember the day in high school that my mom forgot to pick me up from school. I’m the oldest of four children, and no doubt she’d had a long day with the other kids and it’d slipped her mind. After waiting at school for an hour, I walked the three miles home, and when I got to my house, I shut our front door with anger, stormed into the kitchen and screamed in my mom’s face that she’d forgotten me.Later that night, my dad told me I no longer had a ride to school the next day. I figured my mom would still take me, but when the morning came, she refused. It was midterm, and as a straight-A student ready to start college applications, being late wasn’t an option (选择). In my mind, missing these tests would have been the end of my academic career. I begged my mom. I told her she was ruining my future and everything I’d worked for. Butsheheld her ground, and that day, I walked to school. And I missed my tests.My mom didn’t rescue me from failure. She let me suffer from it. She let me figure it out. She let me learn. Now, as a mom myself, I’ve realized that I want my kids to experience failure because failure is how we grow, learn and think outside of ourselves. It’s how we self-educate to learn what’s right and respectable, and what’s not. It’s how we become responsible and enthusiastic. Falling down makes us better because we learn how to get up.12. What is one of the reasons that the author got angry that day?A. She was tired.B. She failed in a test.C. She was late for school.D. She had to walk home by herself.13. How does the author feel about her childhood experience?A. Terrible.B. Meaningful.C. Embarrassing.D. Colorful.14. The underlined phrase “held her ground” in Paragraph 2 probably means “________”.A. gave in to meB. said yes to meC. stayed in the placeD. kept to her idea15. What is the best title for the text?A. My Way of GrowingB. The Value of FailureC. My Love for MotherD. Failure in My Life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。

2021年重庆市铜梁县第一中学高三英语模拟试卷及参考答案第一部分阅读(共两节,满分40分)第一节(共15小题;每小题2分,满分30分)阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项ADuring ancient times, children didn’t have smartphones, iPad or computers to entertain themselves. Instead, they came up with interesting games to play.★Stone ballsDuring the Qing Dynasty, kicking a stone ball around was a popular sport in the northern part of China, and it was often played in the winter to protect kids from the cold. Stones were carved into small balls and kicked along with feet. In 1999, the sport was included in the 6th National Ethnic Group Traditional Sports Meeting held in Beijing.★Flying kitesKites have quite a long history. The earliest kites were made of wood, instead of paper. Nowadays, the four most famous kites are the Beijing kite, Tianjin kite , Weifang kite and Nantong kite, of which each has distinctive features. The kite which resembles a swallow is a well-known Beijing style.★Hide-and-seekHide-and-seek is a traditional game for children, popular around the nation. There are two ways to play: covering a child’s eyes while other kids run around to tease(戏弄) him or, more commonly, participants hide and one child must try to find them.★Playing diabolosA diabolo is always made of wood or bamboo and has empty space in the center. By juggling(边抛边接) the diabolo on the rope, the high-speed spinning diabolos will make a sound like a whistle. Playing diabolos is an interesting folk game, especially popular in North China. Playing diabolos was also included in the first group of national intangible cultural heritage(非物质文化遗产).1.Why did ancient children often play stone balls in the winter?A.To practice their feet.B.To warm themselves.C.To train their skills.D.To relax themselves.2.Which kites are swallow-shaped?A.Weifang kites.B.Tianjin kites.C.Beijing kites.D.Nantong kites.3.Why does playing diabolos make a sound?A.Because the diabolo’s center is empty.B.Because the high-speed spinning diabolo is light.C.Because the diabolo is equipped with a whistle.D.Because ropes’ surface moves against the diabolo’s.BMost kids can walk into a library or bookstore and find hundreds of books to read. But it’s not that simple for kids who are blind. They read in a different way. Jenny Lee and other braille (盲文) transcribers take the printed words of a book and change them into a code of raised dots. Blind people can read these dots with their fingers. To know what braille feels like, take a ballpoint pen and press hard onto a piece of paper. Now turn the paper over and touch the raised dot made by the pen point.When Lee first saw the dots of the braille alphabet, she wondered if she’d ever be able to read and write them easily. She took a class and practised hard for about six months before she passed the final exam: she had to convert 35 pages of a book into braille. Today, Lee works for a publisher. One of her jobs is to change children’s books into braille.To do this, Lee first types the story into a computer and then uses a computer program to translate it into the braille code. Next, she looks over the translation several times to make sure it’s mistake-free. After that, a copy of the braille story is printed with a special printer. Then Lee and a proofreader work together to find and correct any mistakes. When a book is ready, many copies of it are printed. Afterwards, some are sold through websites and others are sent to libraries.Sometimes, going over a story again and again gets tiring. That’s when Lee takes a break. Several of Jenny Lee’s co-workers, who are blind, use guide dogs. When the animals aren’t working, Lee likes spending a few minutes with them. To her, playing with dogs “is always apick-me-upin the middle of the day”.“I love this mission,” Lee says. “Through my brain power and my fingers, I am putting the dots into some kid’s hands.”4. How does the writer explain what braille feels like?A. By explaining what braille words look like.B. By describing how blind people read books.C. By asking readers to experience it themselves.D. By giving examples of different braille words.5. What was Lee’s first reaction to braille?A. She was excited to get a new skill.B. She was amazed at the clever idea.C. She realized she could teach it herself.D. She believed it would be difficult to learn.6. What does the underlined word “pick-me-up” in paragraph 4 most probably mean?A A discussion to release work stress.B. Something to improve one’s appetite.C. Something to help restore one’s spirit.D. A free ride accompanied with a guide dog.7. What does Lee think of her job?A. Profitable and hopeful.B. Tiring but meaningful.C. Relaxing and helpful.D. Boring but challenging.CThere is no such thing as a “safe" level of drinking, with increased consumption of alcohol associated with poorer brain health, according to a new study.In an observational study, which has not yet been peer-reviewed, researchers from the University of Oxford studied the relationship between the self-reported alcohol intake of some 25,000 people in the UK, and their brain scans. The researchers noted that drinking had an effect on the brain's gray matter-regions in the brain that make up "important bits where information is processed," according to leadauthor Anya Topiwala, a senior clinical researcher at Oxford.“The more people drank, the less the volume of their gray matter,“ Topiwala said via email. "Brain volume reduces with age and more severely with dementia(痴呆症).Smaller brain volume also predicts worse performance on memory testing,“ she explained. "While alcohol only made a small contribution to this(0. 8%), it was a greater contribution than other "modifiable" risk factors," she said, explaining that modifiable risk factors are “ ones you can do something about, in contrast to aging.”The team also investigated whether certain drinking patterns, beverage types and other health conditions made a difference to the impact of alcohol on brain health. They found that there was no "safe" level of drinking-meaning that consuming any amount of alcohol was worse than not drinking it. They also found noevidence that the type of drink— such as wine, spirits or beer—affected the harm done to the brain. However, certain characteristics, such as high blood pressure, obesity or binge-drinking, could put people at higher risk, researchers added.The risks of alcohol have long been known:Previous studies have found that there's no amount of liquor, wine or beer that is safe for your overall health. Alcohol was the leading risk factor for disease and premature death in men and women between the ages of 15 and 49 worldwide in 2016, accounting for nearly one in 10 deaths, according to a study published in The Lancet in 2018.“It has been known for decades that heavy drinking is bad for brain health," Sadie Boniface, head of research at the UK's Institute of Alcohol Studies, said via email. "We also shouldn't forget alcohol affects all parts of the body and there are multiple health risks. ”8. What is the function of gray matter?A. Control the mount of alcoholB. Process informationC. Scan the brainD. Predict the performance on memory9. Which is NOT true in the following statements according to the study?A. Drinking alcohol is worse than not drinking.B. With people getting older, brain volume reduces.C. Alcohol was the major risk factor for disease and premature death.D. The less people drink alcohol, the more the volume of their gray matter.10. Which is one of the "modifiable" risk factors?A. SmokingB. AgingC. DeathD. Disease11. What is the main idea of the text?A. The mount of alcohol is not related to people's health.B. People drinking alcohol do harm to their brain health.C. People drinking alcohol lead to dementia.D. Theresa great deal of liquor, wine or beer that is safe for health.DIt might have been Jimmy Kimmel, or any other sharp-tongued talk show hosts of late-night TV. In this instance, it was Samantha Bee, stating her opposition to childhood vaccinations humorously. “Who are you going to believe?” she asked. “Leading authorities on medical science, or 800 comments on your cousin’s Facebook page?”Joking about science can have serious effects, according to studies by communication scholars. Accordingly, since 2013, Paul, a psychological professor, has conducted studies of how satire (讥讽) can influence people’s beliefs about science, which have shown that if you want to interest people in science and shape their views on hot-button science issues, satirical humor can work better.Many Americans pay little attention to science. Even people who regularly watch TV news receive only scraps of science information in their media diet, because mainstream media outlets devote so little airtime to the subject. On top of that, some Americans may regard science as inaccessible.Yet satirical humor can reach viewers who would never watch NOVA or read — well, National Geographic. Millions of people watch late-night television programs live, and videos of these shows get millions of views on streaming services. In 2016, a vote conducted by the University of Delaware Center indicated that nearly one in 10 said they learned about science from late-night television shows.Late-night hosts may occasionally poke fun at scientists. More often, however, the hosts promote a positive image of science. By making science entertaining to audience with little knowledge of the topic, late-night television could spark science engagement. Furthermore, the researchers concluded that satirical shows had the biggest impact among the least educated viewers, thus helping to narrow a gap in attention to science. Though late-night satirical humor can boost science interest and awareness, it has its limits. Science is complex, and conveying that complexity in a few minutes while telling jokes can be a challenge.12. What does Paul’s studies of joking about science indicate?A. It may do serious damage to science.B. It can effectively popularize science.C. It totally changes people’s attitude to science.D. It will shift people’s attention from entertainment to science.13. Why do TV watchers receive a little science information?A. Because they enjoy watching entertainments.B. Because science is not easy to come up with.C. Because they find no interest in science issues.D. Because science is scarcely seen on mainstream media.14. What do we know about the late-night shows involving science?A. The hosts get used to playing tricks on scientists.B. The hosts’ aim is to build a positive image of science.C. Education gap can be bridged through late-night shows.D. Science participation can be promoted among their viewers.15. What’s the author’s attitude towards combining science with satire?A. Critical.B. Objective.C. Positive.D. Negative.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。
重庆市铜梁县第一中学高考英语高中英语阅读理解习题及答案

一、高中英语阅读理解1.阅读理解It seems that electronic devices just keep getting smaller. Scientists in the United States have announced the creation of the first transistor with only two dimensions(二维).A transistor is a small electronic device that transfers or carries electronic current. Scientists hope these new 2D transistors will be used for building high-resolution(高分辨率)displays that need very little energy.Two groups of scientists created these 2D transistors. They report that the transistors are only a few atoms thick.Usually transistors are made with the element silicon(硅). Computer processors, memory chips, TV screens and other electronic devices contain billions of silicon-based transistors. But these very small electrical parts have certain limitations.Dimitris Ioannou is an electrical engineering professor at George Mason University. He says the traditional transistor has been improved as much as it can be. He adds that researchers have been looking for new materials with special features and they want transistors to be seen through and soft."If the layers are very thin, the transistor can become flexible, so it doesn't have to be rigid(坚硬的), like it would be in a silicon chip. So people can think of applications like wearable electronics, television screens and other things," said Ioannou.These new transistors can also carry higher current. They also can move the current much faster than traditional transistors. This is important for high-definition screens.Dimitris Ioannou says the scientific success could prove very useful in the future. "Now, how good and how useful it will be, it's still in the stage of research, but it certainly is an advance," said Ioannou.(1)Which of the following statements about the newly created transistor is TRUE?A.They are expected to be used in high-resolution displays.B.The transistors are made with the element silicon.C.They are rigid, just like traditional transistors.D.They have already been put into actual use.(2)What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 5 mean?A.The traditional transistors have been changed into two-dimensional ones.B.Many of the traditional transistors have been improved over the years.C.The traditional transistor has been developed to its fullest.D.The traditional transistor has been developed quite well.(3)What is Dimitris Ioannou's attitude towards the creation of the new transistors?A.Negative.B.Neutral.C.Indifferent.D.Positive.【答案】(1)A(2)C(3)D【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文,美国科学家发明了新的二维晶体管,介绍了新型二维晶体管的相关信息及未来前景。

21.(6分)On November 24, 1868, Scott Joplin was born in Texas. He became famous as a ragtime (拉格泰姆音乐) composer and piano player. Ragtime music was an early form of jazz. This music has a lively beat and was developed from the music of African Americans.Ragtime became popular in the early 1890s, and the music was played on the piano. The piano player usually made up a melody, then changed it a little bit every time he played. Scott Joplin was very good at composing, or making up music and playing the piano. When he was growing up, Joplin’s home was filled with music. Still, Joplin’s father did not want him to be a musician. When he was about 14 years old, Joplin left home to travel and start a life of his own. Hetraveled all over the Midwest playing the piano and composing music. Sometimes he played with music groups. Other times he sang by himself in noisy saloons and bars. In 1899, Joplin wrote Maple Leaf Rag, a ragtime song that became a big hit and earned Joplin the title of The King of Ragtime. In all, he wrote more than 500 songs. Joplin’s biggest dream was to compose a ragtime opera. Finally, after 10 years, Joplin completed a ragtime opera which he called Treemonisha. This opera was about a young black woman who became a leader of her people. She tried to help her people gain their freedom and their rights.1916, Joplin became very sick. He had a disease that made him forget things and become easily afraid of things. In 1917, he was put in the hospital. He fin ally died there on April 1, 1917. Scott Joplin’s music became popular again in the early 1970s when it was used in a movie called The Sting.1、Which of the following best describes ragtime?A.It is a kind of jazz music. B.It was born in Texas.C.It sounds slow and sad. D.It is played on the guitar.2、Joplin took up ragtime .A.with strong family support B.against his father’s willC.for a richer and happier life D.with the hope of traveling3、What can we know Maple Leaf Rag?A.It was a ragtime opera. B.It was attacked by other composers.C.It was used in a movie. D.It won the composer great honor.4、Which of the words can best describe Scott Joplin?A.Talented and traditional. B.Determined and productive.C.Stubborn and cautious. D.Patient and generous.22.(8分)A young man wandered through the desert for forty days until he reached a beautiful castle at the top of a mountain. There lived the sage(圣人) that he was looking for.With considerable patience, the sage listened attentivel y to the reason for the boy’s visit, but told him that at that moment he did not have time to explain to him the secret of happiness.He suggested that the young man take a walk around his palace and come back in two hours’ time. “However, I want to ask yo u a favor,” he added, banding the boy a teaspoon, in which he poured two drops of oil. “While you walk, carry this spoon and don’t let the oil spill.”The young man began to climb up and down the palace staircases, always keeping his eyes fixed on the spoon. At the end of two hours he returned to the presence of the wise man.“So,” asked the sage, “did you see the Persian tapestries(挂毯)hanging in my dining room? Did you see the fantasticgarden that the Master of Gardeners spent ten years in creating?”Embarrassed, the young man admitted that he had seen nothing.“So, go back and see the wonders of my world,” said the wise man. “You can’t trust a man if you don’t know his house.”Now more at ease, the young man took the spoon and wandered again through the palace, this time paying attention to all the works of art that hung from the ceilings and walls. He saw the gardens, the mountains all around the palace, and the delicacy of the flowers. Returning to the sage, he reported in detail what he had seen.“But where are the two drops of oil that I entrusted to you?” asked the Sage.Looking down at the spoon, the young man realized that he had spilled the oil.“Well, that is the only advice I have to give you,” said the sage. “The secret of happiness lies in looki ng at all the wonders of the world and never forgetting the two drops of oil in the spoon.”1、What was the intention of the young man to travel to look for the sage?A.To appreciate the most beautiful scenery along the way.B.To experience adventures of the outside world.C.To learn the secret of happiness from the wisest man.D.To figure out whether the sage was knowledgeable or not.2、Which of the following statements is wrong?A.The sage listened to the young man with patience.B.The young man made it as the sage had expected.C.During his second round of wandering, the young man appreciated the wonders of the castle.D.The young man was too concerned about the oil when he first went around the castle.3、Why did the sage ask the young man to go around his castle with a spoon of two drops of oil?A.Because he wanted to find out whether the young man was perseverant(坚持不懈的)in accomplishing his goals. B.Because he intended to let the young man know that happiness came at a price.C.Because he wanted to help the young man to uncover the secret of happiness in an indirect way.D.Because he wanted to let the young man trust him.4、What can we learn from the story?A.Real happiness consists in enjoying our rights and meanwhile fulfilling our duties.B.We can’t trus t a man unless we get familiar with his house.C.The search for the secret of happiness demands our devotion.D.It’s not easy to keep balance between enjoyment and commitment.23.(8分)Your New Year’s plan to move more is one of the toughest to stick to, and a group of scientists working with obese(过度肥胖的) mice think they’re starting to understand whyRather than our sedentary(久坐的) lives causing weight gain, says Alexxai Kraviz, the National Institutes of Health neuroscientist who led the study, changes in brain chemistry after we start gaining weight affect our capacity to move.“Obses mice can move just fine,” says Kravitz, who published the work with his team in Cell Metabolism“They just don’t.”What Kravitz’s team found is that the activity of a particular dopamine(多巴胺) receptor linked to movement goes down as mice gain weight on a high-fat diet. So the nice slow down and they move less. And when the researchers restored the activity of that dopamine receptor—DR2—the mice started moving more, even though they were still obese. The team also saw that lean mice missing the DR2 receptor acted like obese mice. This is the target, says Kravitz—restoring that dopamine receptor function. “Maybe 20 or 30 years down the road, we could do that in people,” he says.And there is one more thing: The scientists fed normal mice and the mice lacking DR2 the same high-fat diet. Both sets of mice gained weight at the same rate.Kravitz says this is important because mice lacking DR2 move less from the get-go, whereas a normal mouse takes a little time to start seeing that dopamine receptor-related loss of exercise. The ability to exercise seems to be disconnected from weight gain, he says.“Exercise is a healthy thing to do, but its impact on weight loss has been exaggerated,” he says. “We have to be realistic about the size of the effect of exercise on weight, as opposed to health benefits.”Still, before you abandon your New Year’s exercise plan, keep in mind that this study was done using a high-fat diet, and not the normal calorie restriction that people maintain when they diet.That’s a big drawback to the work, says Vicki Vieira-Potter, a University of Missouri physiologist not involved in the study.“They feed the mice with high-fat diet, it damages the receptor, and that decreases activity. Those who plan to lost weight should remember high-fat diet is a nice way to cause obesity in the lab, but it’s not the same as the normal situation of obesity,” she says.Sine also says that a lot of the weight gain in the mice came after they stopped moving around, which indicates that the loss of movement did impact obesity.1、Alexxai Kravitz is likely to agree that ________.A.high-fat food leads to the lack of DR2B.less movement results from weight gainC.the lack of DR2 results in less movementD.weight gain leads to the inactivity of DR2.2、What can we infer from the research mentioned in the passage?A.High-fat diet is bound to cause obesity.B.The research team aim to deal with human obesity.C.High-fat diet has little influence on the rate of weight gain.D.Obese mice’s ability to move is affected by the inactivity of DR2.3、The underlined word “exaggerated” in Paragraph 7 can be replaced by “________”.A.underestimated B.excluded C.overlooked D.overemphasized4、According to Vicki Vicki-Vieira-Potter, ________.A.besides diet, other factors behind obesity shouldn’t be ignored in daily lifeB.the total loss of movement can do harm to the function of DR2C.Alexxai Kravitz’s team misread the results of the researchD.obesity is mainly caused by high-fat diet people take.24.(8分)Many animals recognize their food because they see it. So do humans. When you see an apple or apiece of chocolate you know that these are things you can eat. You can also use other senses when you choose your food. You may like it because it smells good or because it tastes good. You may dislike some types of food because they do not look, smell or taste very nice. Different animals use different senses to find and choose their food. A few animals depend on only one of their senses, while most animals use more than one sense.Although there are many different types of food, some animals spend their lives eating only one type. The giant panda eats only one particular type of bamboo. Other animals eat only one type of food even when given the choice. A land of white butterfly will stay on the leaves of a cabbage, even though there are plenty of other vegetables in the garden. However, most animals have a more varied diet. The bear eats fruits and fish. The fox eats small animals, birds and fruits. The diet of these animals will be different depending on the season.Humans have a very varied diet. We often eat food because we like it and not because it is good for us. In countries such as France and Britain, people eat foods with too much sugar. This makes them overweight, which is bad for their health Eating too much red meat and animal products, such as butter, can also be bad for the health Choosing the right food, therefore, has become an area of study in modern life.1、We can infer from the text that humans and animals .A.depend on one sense in choosing foodB.are not satisfied with their foodC.choose food in similar waysD.eat entirely different food2、Which of the following eats only one type of food?A.The white butterflyB.The small bird.C.The bear.D.The fox.3、Certain animals change their choice of food when .A.the season changesB.the food color changesC.they move to different placesD.they are attracted by different smells4、We can learn from the last paragraph that .A.food is chosen for a good reasonB.French and British food is goodC.some people have few choices of foodD.some people care little about healthy diet5、Which of the following statements is TRUE?A.Animals often use senses to eat their foodB.Most animals have a more varied diet.C.All animals spend their lives eating one type of food.D.The diet of birds and fox will be the same depending on the season25.(10分)Why do we laugh and get amusement from so many different things, from puns (双关语) to pratfalls? Why are some things funny to some people and not to others? How is that while a successful joke can cause pleasure, a sick one can cause serious harm?Over the centuries, various scholars have attempted to produce a universally agreed-upon theory of humor. Plato and Aristotle introduced the superiority(优越感) theory, the idea that people laugh at the misfortune of others. Their theory seems to explain teasing, but it doesn’t work well for knock-knock jokes. Sigmund Freud argued for his relief theory, the concept that humor is a way for people to release psychological tension and reveal their inner fears and desires. His theory works well for dirty jokes, less well for most puns.The majority of humor expels today agree with the incongruity theory, the idea that humor arises when there’s agap between what people expect to happen and what actually happens. Incongruity has a lot going for it — jokes with unexpected funny lines, for example, fit well. But scientists have found that in comedy, unexpectedness is overvalued.With the goal of developing a new, more satisfactory explanation, I produced “the gentle violation(违背) theory”, the idea that humor arises when something seems wrong or threatening, but is actually OK or safe. A dirty joke, for example, trades on moral or social violations, but it’s only going to get a laugh if the person listening is open enough to consider the subject OK to talk about. Similarly, puns can be seen as linguistic violations that still make grammatical sense.And while most humor theories have struggled to account for tickling (挠痒痒), or just avoided the phenomenon altogether, my theory accounts for even this kind of laughter. Tickling involves violating someone’s physical space in a gent le way. People can’t tickle themselves —because it isn’t a violation.1、What is the author’s attitude towards Plato and Aristotle’s theory?A.Critical. B.Approving.C.Uncaring D.Unclear.2、According to Sigmund Freud’s theory, we can infer that ________.A.people will laugh when they see others sufferB.telling dirty jokes is a relief of one’s nervous feelings’C.unexpectedness can explain how humor worksD.tickling doesn’t involve psychological tension3、According to the author, why are some things funny to some people but not to others?A.Because the sense of humor varies greatly from person to person.B.Because people have different expectations for the same thing.C.Because some people lack the sense of safety deep in their heart.D.Because people’s unde rstanding of violation is different.4、What is the author’s main purpose of writing this passage?A.To draw people’s attention to the research of humor.B.To criticize people’s misconceptions about humor.C.To explain what exactly causes people to laugh.D.To prove the sense of humor can be developed.第三部分语言知识运用(共两节)第一节(每小题1.5分,满分30分)阅读下面短文,从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中,选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项.26.(30分)I was traveling by train from Perth to Central one morning.

Thanks for 7 my train and I hope to see you again soon. Have a great day.”Everyone started smiling, even the 8 talking to one another, all about the guard’s 9 and how good it made everyone feel.I was thinking about this and as I exited the train, I 10 the Guard’s cabin to thank him, only to be told he had just finished his 11 and was on his way home.Then I 12 down the stairs.
