AA Look at Four of the World-famous CollegesUniversity College London, England. United KingdomThis university was founded with the intent of opening education equally and to all. In 1878, University College London began admitting women using the same admission standards men were held to. The college was the first in the United Kingdom to accept students from any class or religion.Tuition (学费) for each student comes in at $31,000. This price does include fees for housing, food, travel expenses and insurance.University of Melbourne, Melbourne, AustraliaIt opened in 1853 and is known for its outstanding research and teaching programs. Research at the university in the 1970s led to a cochlear implant (人工耳蜗), giving more than 200,000 patients worldwide hearing.Parents of native students expect to pay $24,500 for the first term’s tuition and another $19,500 for room and board in residential housing.University of Cambridge, England, United KingdomRecords of the university reach back to 1209 when the area was an ancient Roman trading post, making it the second oldest university in the UK. Cambridge currently has 21,000 students with around 1,300 of those coming from 65 different countries.Tuition for the bachelor programs like engineering reaches $31,000.Sarah Lawrence College, New York, United StatesIt is known for a diverse student body coming from 53 different countries. The teacher/student ratio (比例) and personalized courses of study attract students from the United States and abroad.Undergraduates carrying 30 credits will pay $51,196 for tuition. The cost to attend Sarah Lawrence may seem prohibitive to many, but a degree from this honoured college can open many doors for graduates.1．When did University College London start to admit women on equal terms with men?A．In 1209.B．In1853.C．In 1878.D．In 1887.2．Which college developed a device to benefit people with hearing loss?A．University of Melbourne.B．Sarah Lawrence College.C．University of Cambridge.D．University College London.3．What do the last two colleges have in common?A．They just offer the bachelor programs.B．They feature the highest cost of board.C．They are located in the United Kingdom.D．They are favoured by international students.BJim found himself exhausted during a trip. When he came home, he went to see a doctor. “The reason I was tired, ” Jim says, “was that my kidneys (肾脏)were gone. ”Jim, 69, a former Air Force pilot, immediately started dialysis(透析) three days a week. A person of his age on dialysis usually lives only about four years. Transplants are a long-shot alternative. The National Kidney Foundation estimates that 13 people die every day while waiting for a donor with the right blood and tissue types.Jim’s wife, nephew and four family friends offered but weren’t a match. Jim was so discouraged that he was even considering not attending a reunion of some Air Force buddies(铁哥们). But his wife encouraged him to reunite with his old friends, among whom was one he hadn’t seen in 50 years: Doug Coffman. The two had met when they both were learning Vietnamese before they went overseas.Doug, then 70, felt a strong bond with his band of brothers, even though he hadn’t seen some of them in decades. Their connection went beyond the battlefield in ways most soldiers never experience.Doug had received help from his friends when he was in trouble, so he felt like it was a time that he could pay that ahead by donating a kidney to Jim. Fortunately, series of testing revealed not only that Doug’s tissue type matched Jim’s but also that he had the kidneys of a 35-year-old.The transplant was a success. “It’s pretty miraculous to be able to take an organ out of one person’s body—a living organ—put it in another person’s body, and have it work, ” Doug says. “And there’s nothing finer than knowing I’ve helped another person live a better life. ”4．From this text we know that Kidney transplant is ________.A．Expensive B．dangerous C．a matter of luck D．an unwise choice5．How old was Jim when he went overseas?A．About 17.B．About 19.C．About 22.D．About 25.6．What can we infer from Doug’s words in the last paragraph?A．Doug is happy to donate a kidney to Jim.B．Jim is having a better life than Doug.C．The kidney transplant is very successful.D．Modern medical science is very advanced.7．What is the theme of this text?A．Good luck.B．An operation.C．Paying it forward.D．Good relationship.CWhat is life? Like most great questions, this one is easy to ask but difficult to answer. The reason is simple: weknow of just one type of life and it’s challenging to do science with a sample size of one. The field of artificial life-called ALife for short — is the systematic attempt to spell out life’s fundamental principles. Many of these practitioners, so-called ALifers, think that somehow making life is the surest way to really understand what life is.So far no one has convincingly made artificial life. This track record makes ALife a ripe target for criticism, such as declarations of the field’s doubtful scientific value. Alan Smith, a complexity scientist, is tired of such complaints. Asking about “the point” of ALife might be, well, missing the point entirely, he says. “The existence of a living system is not about the use of anything.” Alan says. “Some people ask me, ‘So what’s the worth of artificial life?’ Do you ever think, ‘What is the worth of your grandmother?’”As much as many ALifers hate emphasizing their research’s applications, the attempts to create artificial life could have practical payoffs. Artificial intelligence may be considered ALife’s cousin in that researchers in both fields are enamored by a concept called open-ended evolution (演化). This is the capacity for a system to create essentially endless complexity, to be a sort of “novelty generator”. The only system known to exhibit this is Earth’s biosphere. If the field of ALife manages to reproduce life’s endless “creativity” in some virtual model, those same principles could give rise to truly inventive machines.Compared with the developments of Al, advances in ALife are harder to recognize. One reason is that ALife is a field in which the central concept — life itself — is undefined. The lack of agreement among ALifers doesn’t help either. The result is a diverse line of projects that each advance along their unique paths. For better or worse, ALife mirrors the very subject it studies. Its muddled (混乱的) progression is a striking parallel (平行线) to the evolutionary struggles that have shaped Earth biosphere.Undefined and uncontrolled, ALife drives its followers to repurpose old ideas and generated novelty. It may be, of course, that these characteristics aren’t in any way surprising or singular. They may apply universally to all acts of evolution. Ultimately ALife may be nothing special. But even this dismissal suggests something：perhaps, just like life itself throughout the universe, the rise of ALife will prove unavoidable.8．Regarding Alan Smith’s defence of ALife, the author is .A．supportive B．puzzled C．unconcerned D．doubtful9．What does the word “enamored” underlined in Paragraph 3 most probably mean?A．Shocked.B．Protected.C．Attracted.D．Challenged.10．What can we learn from this passage?A．ALife holds the key to human future.B．ALife and AI share a common feature.C．AI mirrors the developments of ALife.D．AI speeds up the process of human evolution.11．Which would be the best title for the passage?A．Life Is Undefined. Can AI Be a Way Out?B．Life Evolves. Can AI Help ALife Evolve, Too?C．Life Is Undefined. Can ALife Be Defined One Day?D．Life Evolves. Can Attempts to Create ALife Evolve, Too?DScientists and engineers are preparing for possible travel into interstellar (星际的) space, the area in between stars, in the distant future. A new report examines the possible problem of changes in language on long space trips. Two American researchers have explored one possible problem with such travel. They considered the possibility that changes in human language could develop overtime and lead to major communication problems with people on Earth.The language experts are professors Andrew McKenzie from the University of Kansas, and Jeffrey Punske of Southern Illinois University. The two recently published a paper, which considers very long trips necessary to reach interstellar space, estimated to be about 18 billion kilometers from Earth. It also examines the possibility of future colonization (殖民地的开拓) of distant stars.Languages naturally change as communities grow more isolated from each other, the researchers note in the paper. The long isolation of a community could lead to enough differences in language to make it impossible for community members back home to understand. “If you’re on this spaceship for 10 generations, new concepts and social issues will emerge, and people will create ways of talking about them,” McKenzie said in a statement. Such vocabulary would become specific to only that spaceship.“People on Earth might never know about these words, unless there’s a reason to tell them. And the further away you get, the less you’re going to talk to people back home,” McKenzie said. The researchers noted that in addition to new words being used, the language of people traveling on spaceships and living in colonies would experience many other changes. For example, the sounds of different letters would likely change overtime, affecting not only individual words, but the whole “grammatical system”, the paper states.Major changes in word and sentence structure could also create systematic language barriers overtime, the researchers said. “Given more time, new grammatical forms can completely replace current ones,” McKenzie said. 12．What is the possible result of long space travel according to the research?A．It may bring about many language barriers.B．People may suffer from mental problems.C．It may change people’s living environment.D．People could communicate more easily on Earth. 13．What does the underlined word “isolation” in paragraph 3 most probably mean?A．Connection.B．Distribution.C．Loneliness.D．Separation.14．What can we infer about the language used on spaceships from paragraph 4?A．It will form its own language system.B．It will replace the current language soon.C．It can be understood by people on Earth.D．It can be used to communicate with aliens.15．Why does the author mention McKenzie in the last paragraph?A．To present the way to create new languages.B．To explain the reason for language problems.C．To stress the inevitable trend of language changing.D．To show the importance of new grammatical systems.第二节(共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)Worried about the climate? 16 . Here are some examples to get you started.•Count the birds and the beesGet closer to nature by becoming a citizen scientist. You could be counting birds in your garden, butterflies, insects and flowers, or even reptiles and hedgehogs. 17 . It’s a fun group activity, and your data can help scientists better understand the impact of human behaviour on natural habitats.• 18Media headlines can be alarming when it comes to the climate and nature crisis or ignoring the issues completely. Hosting a local discussion can allow space for reflection, debate, ideas and collaboration (合作) to take action on global issues at a local level.•Set up a library of thingsInternet shopping has made it too easy to buy new stuff at the click of a button. 19 ? First, it’ll clutter (凌乱地塞满) your house，then it’ll clutter the planet. Setting up a library of things can encourage local people to share everything from tools to instruments, cooking gadgets to toys.•Start a climate emergency centre20 . That’s why more and more climate emergency centres are popping up in derelict (废弃地) shops on high streets and in shopping centres. A climate emergency centre can be a space for events such as an exhibition on plastic waste or a workshop to learn how to make eco-cleaning products. It can also be a way to motivate more people to take action.A．Cooperate with your localsB．But where is it all going to end upC．Host a climate and nature discussionD．But how have we consumed the thingsE．The climate and nature crisis isn’t going awayF．There are lots of citizen science projects to take part inG．Small local actions with neighbors, local businesses and politicians can make a difference。

Fear may be felt in the heart as well as in the head，according to a study that has found a link between the cycles of a beating heart and the chance of someone feeling fear.Tests on healthy volunteers found that they were more likely to feel a sense of fear at the moment when their hearts are contracting(收缩)and pumping blood around their bodies，compared with the point when the heartbeat is relaxed. Scientists say the results suggest that the heart is able to influence how the brain responds to a fearful event，depending on which point it is at in its regular cycle of contraction and relaxation.Sarah Garfinkel at the Brighton and Sussex Medical School said：“Our study shows for the first time that the way in which we deal with fear is different depending on when we see fearful pictures in relation to our heart.”The study tested 20 healthy volunteers on their reactions to fear as they were shown pictures of fearful faces. Dr Garfinkel said，“The study showed that fearful faces are better noticed when the heart is pumping than when it is relaxed. Thus our hearts can also affect what we see and what we don't see—and guide whether we see fear.”To further understand this relationship，the scientists also used a brain scanner to show how the brain influences the way the heart changes a person's feeling of fear.“We have found an important mechanism by which the h eart and brain ‘speak’ to each other to change our feelings and reduce fear，” Dr Garfinkel said.“We hope that by increasing our understanding about how fear is dealt with and ways that it could be reduced, we may be able to develop more successful treatments for anxiety disorders，and also for those who may be suffering from serious stress disorder.”1．What is the finding of the study?A. One's fast heartbeats are likely to cause fear.B. Fear is a result of one's relaxed heartbeat.C. Fear has something to do with one's health.D. One's heart affects how he feels fear. 2．The study was carried out by analyzing ________.A. volunteers' reactions to horrible pictures and data from their brain scansB. the time volunteers saw fearful pictures and their health conditionsC. volunteers' heartbeats when they saw terrible picturesD. different pictures shown to volunteers and their heart－brain communication3．Which of the following is closest in meaning to the underlined word “mechanism” in Paragraph 6?A. Order.B. Machine.C. System.D. Treatment.4．This study may contribute to ________．A. explaining the cycle of fear and anxietyB. treating anxiety and stress betterC. finding the key to the heart－brain communicationD. understanding different fears in our hearts and heads参考答案1—4、DACB阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。

Thesnowboarding champion, who grew up in California, competed there at17 years of age. She became the youngest woman ever to win anOlympic gold medal in the half-pipe competition.She has recently won a halfpipe competition during the Winter X Games in Aspen, Colorado. But the 18yearold snowboarder has decided to trade some trips down the half-pipe for an Ivy League education after the world championship competition in Utah. Beginning in the next fall, Kim will be joining Princeton University’s class. Instead of centering on the physics of her winning snowboard moves, she could now be learning the subject in school. In a recent interview, Kim said, “While I have a special identity and my life has always been so different, I still aim to make my higher education experience as normal as possible.”Kim added, “I’d love to be Chloe, the girl who sits next to me in the English class.”Kim received widespread attention during the Pyeongchang Winter Olympics. Her publicity was fueled by her friendly, energetic nature as well as her interesting family story. Along her path to Olympic gold, Kim also became a social media star. She helped design a snowboarding Barbie doll in her likeness, rapped with hiphop artist GEazy and joined other sports stars to be honored with ESPY Awards(年度卓越体育表现奖). While all of these are fun, Kim says she now looks forward to a new challenge—earning a degree from one of America’s top universities. She says she considers her acceptance to Princeton just as much of an honor as earning an Olympic gold medal.She is still considering what her exact field of study will be at Princeton. But she says it will involve something science-related, possibly chemistry or biology. She is attempting to work out a plan that will permit her to keep training while going to classes. Kim says her sports and educational goals go hand in hand. “It’s all about progressing the sports and also pushing myself，”she said. “To see what I can do, and how far I can go.”【解题导语】本文介绍了美国的冬奥会冠军克洛伊·金在获得多次单板女子滑雪比赛冠军后，决定要像普通人一样投身于文化知识的学习中。

It was a winter morning, just a couple of weeks before Christmas 2005. While most people were warming up their cars, Trevor, my husband, had to get up early to ride his bike four kilometers away from home to work. On arrival, he parked his bike outside the back door as he usually does. After putting in 10 hours of labor, he returned to find his bike gone.The bike, a black Kona 18 speed, was our only transport. Trevor used it to get to work, putting in 60-hour weeks to support his young family. And the bike was also used to get groceries(食品杂货)，saving us from having to walk long distances from where we live.I was so sad that someone would steal our bike that I wrote to the newspaper and told them our story. Shortly after that, several people in our area offered to help. One wonderful stranger even bought a bike, and then called my husband to pick it up. Once again my husband had a way to get to and from his job. It really is an honor that a complete stranger would go out of their way for someone they have never met before.People say that a smile can be passed from one person to another, but acts of kindness from strangers are even more so. This experience has had a spreading effect in our lives because it strengthened our faith in humanity(人性) as a whole. And it has influenced us to be more mindful of ways we, too, can share with others. No matter how big or how small, an act of kindness shows that someone cares. And the results can be everlasting.1.

It was that brief moment when the summer sun had set but the stars hadn't yet appeared. Lina rubbed her eyes and looked around.“Hello？” she called. “Celia? Marie？”There was no response.The moon was rising now, shedding light on the island. They had always called it “Forgotten Island” because only they seemed to remember its existence. It wasn't on any of the maps they could find, and even the forest rangers didn't know about it. Lina loved that the island, hidden in a heavily wooded side stream of the river, was a secret among the three friends—Celia, Marie, and her.But now Lina was here alone, and it was night. Worse still, it was her own fault.“Come on, Lina, let Marie row the boat，” Celia had said. Marie was two years older than Lina, but she was a hopeless rower. That's why Lina refused and rowed the boat to the island. The argument that followed the refusal took the usual form. Celia took Marie's side, as she always did. Lina had exploded and yelled at them to just leave. So they got back in the boat and left.A bolt of lightning crossed the darkened sky, accompanied by a deafening thunder clap. The storm was here. As the first cold raindrop slid down her neck, Lina's mind returned to her current problem. She was stuck here by herself. She just hoped she didn't become as forgotten as the island. The thought of it sent a chill(寒意) down her back.Suddenly, Lina spotted something in the water. It was a boat, and inside it were Celia, Marie, and Marie's dad, who was steering through the fast flowing water. As the boat approached, they saw Lina waving and the worried expressions on their faces turned to relief.In her excitement Lina jumped into the river.

A new study finds that warming seas over the past 80 years have reduced the sustainable catch of 124 species of fish and shellfish. A sustainable catch refers to the amount that can be harvested without doing longterm damage to the health of populations of some species.Overfishing has made that decline worse, researchers say. Overfishing refers to catching so many fish that the size of the population falls. In some parts of the world, such as the heavily fished Sea of Japan, the decrease is as high as 35 percent. That's a loss of more than one in every three fish.Researchers examined changes in 235 populations of fish and shellfish between 1930 and 2010. Those fish populations spread far apart across 38 ocean regions. Temperature changes vary from one ocean site to another. But on average over that time, Earth's seasurface temperatures have risen by about half a degree Celsius.On average, that warming has caused the sustainable catch to dropby 4.1 percent, the study found. About 8 percent of the fish and shellfish populations the team studied saw losses as a result of the ocean warming. However, about 4 percent of some populations increased. That's because certain species have thrived in warmer waters. One example is a kind of black sea fish. It lives along the northeastern U．S. coast. As warming continues, these fish will reproduce faster until they reach their limit.About 3.2 billion people worldwide rely on seafood as a source of food. That means it's urgent for commercial fishing fleets and regulators to consider how climate change is affecting the health of all of those fish in the sea.8．What does the new study discover?A．Overfishing is to blame for fish health.B．Warming seas cause fewer fish and shellfish.C．Seafood matters to people's health worldwide.D．The living regions of fish and shellfish are different.9．What does the underlined word “thrived” in paragraph 4 probably mean?A．Survived narrowly. B．Disappeared soon.C．Decreased sharply. D．Developed quickly.10．What do we know about species of fish and shellfish?A．About 8 percent of them suffered from a great loss.B．About 35 percent of them survived in the Sea of Japan.C．About 3.2 billion species have been saved up to now.D．About 80 species have died out because of warming seas.11．From which is the text probably taken?A．A cooking guide. B．A science magazine.C．A news review. D．A health brochure.Ⅱ.阅读七选五[2019·山西六校第二次阶段性测试]Schools consume a large amount of energy, which has a bad effect on the environment. __1__， there are lots of ways that you can help your school save energy.

A man, who sometimes takes my bus, is in rags. His life seems different from that of the others. He looks exhausted and carries nothing. He appears along a downtown street, seemingly out of nowhere. We sometimes want to know where he sleeps at night.A few weeks ago he boarded the bus. A few stops later, a young woman boarded. She swiped (刷) her bus-card, only to find the machine would not accept it. The driver told her to pay the $2.25 fare. “I just bought this card,” she said. “I paid the money...”The driver said she could take the card back to the sales office and explain the problem. In the meantime she would have to pay the fare for that day. The woman became confused and distressed. The rest of us just watched, wondering how the problem would be solved. Suddenly the man rose from his seat, dropped a few coins into the fare box.“You’re lucky,” the bus driver said quietly. “He paid for you.” Silence fell over the bus. The rest of us had watched the woman’s discomfort, but he felt it. We lawyers, journalists and business people headed downtown to help fix the world.

余姚市（浙江）2017高考英语一轮阅读理解选编（五） 阅读理解。阅读下列短文,从给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项。 (2014·吉安模拟) Clothes can make phone calls, play music, dial your pal’s number, keep you warm during cold weather and operate your computer. This is not a fantasy. A British company, called Electrotextiles, has created a wide range of clothes—clothes that have minds of their own! Scientists, working for the company, have invented a kind of fabric that can be blended(混合)with flexible electronic materials to create intelligent clothing. The result is electronic garments. If you think the wearer has to be wired to different devices, think again. These designer clothes are wire-free, soft to touch and washable! Like any electronic device, these high-tech clothes have to be powered. Currently, a tiny nine-volt battery serves the purpose. But the researchers hope that in the near future the clothes will generate electricity by using body heat. These clothes are 100 percent shock proof, they say. The Electrotextiles team has also created the world’s first cloth keyboard. This keyboard can be sewn into your trousers or skirt. To use this device, you will have to sit down and tap on your lap! These“lap-tap”gadgets(器具)are all set to take over laptop computers! Another useful garment is the shirt-cum-mobile phone. This handy inventionenables drivers to chat comfortably with others at the wheel! Other popular electronic wear includes the denim(牛仔布)jacket with flexible earphones sewn into the hood(风帽)and the electronic ski jacket with a built-in heater. The ski jacket is also programmed to send signals to a satellite. This technology is known as global positioning system and can be used to track lost skiers and wandering kids. Having completed the cloth keyboard, scientists have already started to work on a new project—a necktie that can be used as a computer mouse. What is the next?

【2014高考英语综合能力测试题】 NASA’s Mars Science 'Laboratory – Curiosity Rover — was sent to Mars some 16 months ago. Its main objective is to find evidence that a past environment could have been well suited to supporting microbial (微生物的) life. Today, a team of mission researchers, writing in a series of papers published in the journal Science, said that they found evidence of what was once an ancient freshwater lake on Mars, which
might have been capable of supporting life. The researchers studied a set of sedimentary rocks (沉积岩) that were found in an area on the floor of Gale Crater (盖尔陨石坑) called Yellowknife Bay. These sedimentary rocks, probably formed from ancient Martian mud, have suggested to researchers that there was at least one lake that welled up with drinkable water inside Gale Crater some 3.6 million years ago, and that the lake could have lasted for tens or even hundreds of thousands of years. “Shortly after landing, we found evidence that liquid water had flowed across the surface long before in Gale Crater,” said Jim Bell, from Arizona State University. “These new results show that in addition to surface water, there was likely an active groundwater system in Gale Crater that significantly weathered ancient rocks and minerals.” According to the team, a lake with these conditions could provide an ideal environment for simple microbial life. The researchers think that a lake like this could have provided perfect conditions for simple microbial life, which is rock-eating microbes that live on and obtain their energy from minerals. The researchers pointed out that they would continue to use the Mars Science Laboratory to continue exploring Gale Crater for even more evidence of ancient lakes or other environments. 41. Curiosity Rover was sent to Mars because scientists wanted to find _______. A. rocks B. lakes C. fresh water D. signs of ancient life 42. Which of the following statements is NOT true according to Paragraph 3? A. There was at least one lake inside Gale Crater. B. The sedimentary rocks were found in Gale Crater. C. The sedimentary rocks were probably made up of mud. D. The lake inside Gale Crater could have lasted for ten years. 43. According to Jim Bell, on Mars there was probably ______. A. evidence of life B. evidence of sea
