What's the purpose of Mollen's lunch projects？A. To make her children's day.B. To remind people to save food.C. To persuade other parents to follow suit.D. To ensure her children's healthy diet.5. What is typical of Mollen's lunch？A. It contains all kinds of food.B. It is made up of candy.C. It combines art and nutrition.D. It is full of Chinese styles.6. How have Mollen's lunch projects affected her children？A. They have taken to their fun-looking lunches.B. They have broaden their knowledge of food.C. They have bonded with their favorite animals.D. They have swept to victory in the meal competitions.7. What are the last two paragraphs mainly about？A. Mollen's plans for cooking lunches.B. The benefits of Mollen's lunch tricks.C. Mollen's expectations of her children.D. The culture elements in Mollen's lunch.CTraditionally，profiting from forests often meant capitalizing on timber（木材）-choosing commercial timber.Yet increasingly，there is an understanding that it's of greater significance to keep trees standing than cut them down for financial profit.Money is not everything.We have to recognize real and lasting value is from natural resources.But money is a fact of life.Good news is that we can expect entire natural woodland is left undamaged and still provides arevenue（收益）stream.Leaving woodland complete does not necessarily mean that we do not touch it at all.Conservation work may involve building back biodiversity or the removal of foreign plant species.A healthy woodland system can provide a range of yields（产物）.Besides eatable yields-top fruit，berries，and food crops，it produces substances for chemical use.The non-timber forest products provided by natural ecosystems will vary significantly depending on where they are.But there're almost always ways to explore to acquire revenue.A project in the U.K.shows woodland is also a draw for visitors.It engages a community who creates a sustainable area of woodland.The sale of handmade wooden items and non-timber forest products is involved.But the community largely obtains revenue by opening up parts of the natural woodland to the public with an adventure playground and outdoor recreational activities on the site.It also offers courses on nest building，special wildlife events and more.The project is thought to have great uniqueness.In terms of revenue，it centers round the existing natural land；the yields woodland can provide become side products.Recreational activities，tours，and classes are just the commencement.A rich and biodiverse woodland can be an ecosystem that draws in people looking for a beautiful place to stay.Woodland has great value in ecological and social terms.And when you nurse it，it could also add to the income from your land.8. What do people increasingly think about forest conservation？A. It is difficult to carry out.B. It means making full use of timber.C. It outweighs financial development.D. It should centre on building back biodiversity.9. Why is the project considered unique？A. It makes woodland itself the main product.B. It focuses on protecting natural land.C. It aims to promote ecotourism.D. It provides educational experiences.10. What does the underlined word "commencement" mean in the last paragraph？A. Intention.B. Wish.C. Exception.D. Beginning.11. Which is a suitable title for the text？A. Woodland Brings Profit While Staying CompleteB. A Project Creates Sustainable WoodlandC. Forest Conservation Has Been a Top PriorityD. Non-timber Products Help Gain More RevenueDI've been working steadily for hours now，but feel as if I haven't even started.My attention is being pulled from my assigned task -writing this story-by a myriad of what I believe are necessary work interruptions.Unfortunately，all too many of us are having such "squirrel" days，according to Dr.Gloria Mark，a professor of informatics at the University of California，Irvine，who studies how digital media impacts our lives.Mark explained how decades of research has tracked the decline of the ability to focus."In 2004，we measured the average attention on a screen to be 2 minutes，" Mark said. "Someyears later，we found attention spans to be about 75 seconds.Now we find people can only pay attention to one screen for an average of 47 seconds."Not only do people concentrate for less than a minute on any one screen，Mark said，but when attention is diverted from an active work project，it also takes about 25 minutes to refocus on that task.How can that be？"If we look at work in terms of switching projects，as opposed to the micro view of switching screens，we find people spend about 10 minutes in any work project before being interrupted and then switch to another work project，" Mark said.Yes，but then we return to the original work，right？Wrong，Mark said.Instead，when we are interrupted on project two，we switch yet again to a different task -call it project three.Unbelievably，her research has shown we are also interrupted on project three，and move on to project four."And then you go back and pick up the original interrupted project，" Mark explained. "But it's not like you're interrupted and you do nothing.For over 25 minutes，you're actually working on other things.""However，there's also a switch cost，" Mark added. "A switch cost is the time it takes you to reorient back to your work：'Where was I？What was I thinking of？'That additional effort can also lead to errors and stress."12. What will happen if you are having "squirrel" days？A. You will be in a bad mood.B. You will be writing a story about squirrels.C. You will be addicted to digital media.D. You will be constantly distracted from your task.13. Which aspect of "attention" does Mark's research focus on？A. Its type.B. Its lasting time.C. Its function.D. Its development.14. Why is it difficult for many of us to refocus on the original task？A. We concentrate less and less on the screen.B. Switching screens affects working efficiency.C. We are interrupted by some other work projects.D. More important projects remain to be completed.15. What is Mark's attitude toward attention switch？A. He considers it a good thing.B. He thinks it has some bad effects.C. He considers it time-saving.D. He thinks it will cost people dearly.二、阅读七选五（本大题共5小题，共12.5分）Let's be real，regulating stress is no easy feat.Stress can appear in many ways on the body if not regulated properly.It can have very obvious appearances such as weight gain and blemishes（斑点）.（1）Whatever the root causes，managing your stress through simple mindfulness practices can help you keep your mental health in check regularly.（2）PMR（Progressive Muscle Relaxation）has a ton of benefits like improving sleep quality，and helping improve concentration.Start by putting on loose clothes and find a quiet and comfortable place to lie down.Begin tensing and relaxing your feet，working your way up throughyour body，focusing on the sensation of the muscle and breathing slowly.The practice Yoga has amazing mental and spiritual benefits too.Yoga by definition means a union.And when you unify the mind and body，you are mindful.（3）Walking，hiking，and forest bathing are great ways to clear the mind.Wherever you are，getting fresh air is a critical coping mechanism for regulating our mental health. （4）If you often find yourself stressed during a busy work day，try taking a walk to help take your mind off your tasks for 15 to 30 minutes.Trust me，your body will thank you.Aside from having an outlet to release overpowering thoughts，journaling can help track your mental health progress in an effective way.Through paper and pen，you can trace where your anxiety and negative thoughts stem from.（5）It gives you an open invitation to sit with them，and offers grace and comfort as you intentionally work through them.A.This in turn，relieves tension.B.So it can be severe unknowingly.C.Ahead，let's break down some expert-approved exercises.D.When one is stressed，the body's first response is to tighten up the muscles.E.Furthermore，nature can generate positive feelings in the mind，body，and soul.F.Most importantly，you can ask yourself if these negative thoughts are even yours.G.And it can equally affect you internally with signs such as headaches and difficulty breathing.16.

Sometimes it’s best to take a deep breath and do your best to meet the challenge.4.How did the author feel when he went for a trail run again?A.Anxious.B.Relaxed.C.Happy.D.Tired.5.What resulted in the author’s poor performance in the Ph.D.?A.His lack of hard work.B.His lack of confidence.C.His poor research abilities.D.His poor track record.6.What does the author want to show in the last paragraph?A.His desire for success.B.His confidence in trail runs.C.His expectations in his study.D.His realization after the trail run.7.What does the author want to tell us?A.Failure is the mother of success.B.Working our regularly is beneficial.C.It is vital to turn to others for help.D.It’s important to make necessary adjustments.CElephants are often seen comforting upset individual elephants with a gentle touch of their trunks reportedly.It’s one thing to witness something that looks like comforting behavior,but another thing to prove that this is what elephants are doing.Now,scientists have shown that Asian elephants do indeed get upset when they see others in trouble,and they reach out to comfort them. Elephants,thus,join the list of other animals,including dogs,wolves and some birds,which have been shown to do so.Elephants’responses to stress are difficult to explore because one has to wait for opportunities for these arising naturally in the wild.However,Joshua Plotnik,a scientist at Mahidol University in Thailand got around this problem.He compared Asian elephants’behaviors during times of stress to those during periods when little upsets them.For1to2weeks every month for nearly a year, Plotnik spent30to180minutes daily watching and recording the behavior of26Asian elephants living in Elephant Natural Park in northern Thailand.Other researchers have previously shown that when upset,an elephant moves its ears and raises its tail;it may also make a low sound to show its stress.“When elephants in the park see an elephant behaving in this manner,they typically respond by feeling the same emotion,”Plotnik said,“just as we do when watching a scary movie together.If an actor is frightened,our hearts race and we reach for each other’s hands—a reaction known as‘emotional contagion(情绪感染)’.”“But more studies are needed,preferably in wild populations,”Plotnik said.“What is unclear is whether these responses primarily benefit the upset animals,or the responders,”Shermin de Silva, a behavioral ecologist,said.However,the study“provides a very interesting first exploration into the behavior of elephants suffering from stress,”said Graeme Shannon,a scientist at Colorado State University.8.What does the underlined phrase“got around”in paragraph2mean?A.Overcame.B.Faced.C.Found.D.Raised.9.Why did Plotnik mention the“watching a scary movie”situation?A.To explain a rule.B.To present a fact.C.To clarify a concept.D.To support a conclusion.10.What can be inferred about the study according to the last paragraph?A.It has some limitations.B.It confirms a prediction.C.It benefits future studies.D.It is thought worthless.11.Which can be the best title for the text?A.Elephants copy comforting behaviorB.Elephants ask for comfort when in troubleC.Elephants are easily in low spiritsD.Elephants understand their companions’feelingsDThe Food and Drug Administration(FDA),citing an epidemic of diet-related illness,released new guidelines(指导方针)on Wednesday aimed at reducing the amount of salt that Americans consume at restaurants,school cafeterias and trucks,or when they are eating packaged and prepared foods at home.The guidelines targeted manufactures that sell foods made from grains as well as potato chips and French fries.The recommendations,issued after years of delay,seek to reduce the average daily sodium(钠)intake step by step—sodium is the chemical name for salt—by12%over the next two and a half years by encouraging food manufacturers,restaurants and food service companies to scale back their use of salt.That goal translates into3,000milligrams of salt—slightly more than1teaspoon—compared to the3,400milligrams that Americans typically consume in a day.Americans’love affairs with salty foods has been linked to alarmingly high rates of high blood pressure,a leading risk factor for heart attacks,strokes and kidney failure.Much of the excess sodium that Americans consume,about70%comes from processed and packaged food and meals served at restaurants,according to researchers.The guidance will apply to163categories of processed and packaged food and provide different targets for rye bread,salad dressing and baby food.Nutritionists and public health experts praised the FDA for taking on the problem of excess sodium,saying the effort would help sharpen the public’s focus on the dangers of taking in too much salt and create pressure on food companies to reduce their reliance on salt as a cheap flavour booster.But many said that voluntary measures were unlikely to move the needle very much.Some experts have suggested compulsory reductions.Dr Dariush Mozaffarian from Tufts University said a recent study in China suggested the FDA should be firmer with its guidelines.The study showed people who used a salt replacement reduced their chances of stroke and heart problemscompared to those who used regular salt.Mozaffarian said the effect of the sodium guidelines will depend on how well the FDA monitors food companies and their progress.12.What can we know about the FDA’s guidelines about salt cut?A.They involve all food companies.B.They will be carried out gradually.C.They concern homemade food.D.They will be followed strictly.13.What do the underlined words“move the needle”mean in the last paragraph?A.Bring about changes.B.Replace the tradition.C.Encourage people to eat out.D.Threaten the food companies.14.Why is China mentioned in the last paragraph?A.To persuade the FDA to be patient.B.To praise China for its action.C.To prove the effect of less salt intake.D.To introduce a salt replacement.15.What are the last two paragraphs mainly about?A.Disproval of the FDA’s guidelines.B.Reactions to the FDA’s guidelines.C.Anticipation of the FDA’s guidelines.D.Approaches to the FDA’s guidelines.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。

One day a woman came into the store and bought some things. They added up to two dollars and six and a quarter cents.The bill was paid, and the woman was satisfied. But the young storekeeper, not feeling quite sure about his calculations (计算), added up the things again. To his surprise he found that it should have been but two dollars.“I’ve made her pay six and a quarter cents more,” said young Abe, upset.It was an unimportant thing, and many salespersons would forget it, but Abe was too careful for that.“The money must be paid back,” he decided.At night, he closed the store and walked to the home of his customer. He explained the matter, paid over the six and a quarter cents, and returned satisfied.Here is another story of young Lincoln’s strict honesty. A woman entered the store and asked for half a pound of tea. The young man weighed it out. This was the last sale of the day.The next morning, when beginning his duties, Abe discovered a four-ounce weight on the scales (磅秤). It flashed upon him at once that he had used this in the sale last night, and so, of course, given his customer short weight. Many people would not have been much worried by this discovery. But Abe weighed out the balance of the half pound, shut up the store, and carried it to the customer. I think that the name, so often given in late times to President Lincoln, of “Honest Old Abe”, was well deserved (应得的).1．（小题1）When young Abe found he made a wrong calculation, he ______.A．tried to forget itB．paid over the moneyC．felt it was unimportantD．gave back the short weight2．（小题2）What happened to Abe in the second story?A．He played a joke with the customer.B．He wasn’t paid two dollars and six cents.C．He didn’t notice a four-ounce weight on the scales.D．He explained the matter to the customer that night.3．（小题3）We can know from the passage that Abe was ______.A．easy to get worriedB．confident but carelessC．honest and responsibleD．funny but well behavedC15、I’m the engine that keeps you working, and I’m here to share some of my secrets. I have 100 billion nerve cells （神经细胞），so you need to consider before you blame （责怪）me for not being so fast enough. It’s not really my fault: information travels through me too fast an d sometimes I can’t keep all of it.The Internet is making me weak. A study found that you’ve been relying more on the Internet. That means I’m going to forget more over time. Scientists have been worried that our ability to think is being lost.In general, I’m about ten percent larger in men than women. It doesn’t make men smarter. It just lets me control their different bodies. Actually, it’s more common for women to get angry, but men can’t focus on a thing well. They usually have language difficulties.Your mobile phone scares me. A new study showed that more than one hour of mobile phone use can get me in trouble. Mobile phone radiation （辐射）might cause me to be in a worse situation.Some parts of me never sleep. It’s important for you to get a good night’s sleep. Sleep helps to improve memories. In fact, when you are asleep, some parts of me are still working hard on my duty. Besides, laughter is really the best medicine for me. So remember to laugh more for my better situation.1．What’s the result of de pending too much on the Internet?A．It will make people remember things for a long time.B．It helps people to remember things more easily.C．It may affect one’s regular way of thinking.D．It may make us lose the ability to learn.2．Compared with men, women______according to the passage.A．are easy to get angry B．can’t think carefully about somethingC．are much smarter D．usually have language difficulties3．Why can’t I keep all the information?A．Because there is too much information.B．Because information travels too fast.C．Because I can hardly work.D．Because I am lazy.4．What can you do to make “me” work better?A．Get a shorter sleep every night.B．Blame “me” for not being fast enough.C．Use “me” more instead of the Internet.D．Use a mobile phone for one hour each day.5．What can we know from the passage?A．Men can pay close attention to a thing.B．At night, “I” can completely sleep and stop working.C．It’s clear that “I” should take medicine to work better.D．Mobile phone radiation may bring serious probl ems to “me”.D16、(An excerpt of After Twenty Years)There was now a cold rain falling and the wind was stronger. The few people walking along that street were hurrying, trying to keep warm. At the door of the shop stood the man who had come a thousand miles to meet a friend, Jimmy Wells. Twenty years ago, they agreed to meet here tonight. Such a meeting could not be certain. But he waited.About twenty minutes he waited, and then a tall man in a long coat came hurrying across the street. He went directly to the waiting man.“Is that you, Bob?” he asked, doubtfully.“Is that you, Jimmy Wells?” cried Bob.The new man took Bob’s hands in his. “It’s Bob! It surely is. I was certain I would find you here if you were still alive. Twenty years is a long time. The old restaurant is gone, Bob. I wish it were here, so that we could have anotherdinner in it. Has the West been good to you?”“It gave me everything I asked for. You’ve changed, Jimmy. I never thought you were so tall.”“Oh, I grew a little after I was twenty.”“Are you doing well in New York, Jimmy?”“Well enough. I work for the city. Come on, Bob. We’ll go to a place I know, and have a good long talk about old times.”The two men started along the street, arm in arm. Bob, the man from the West, was beginning to tell the story of his life. The other, with his coat up to his ears, listened with interest.At the corner stood a shop bright with electric lights. When they came near, each turned to look at the other’s face.The man from the West stopped sudd enly and pulled his arm away. “You’re not Jimmy Wells,” he said. “Twenty years is a long time, but not long enough to change the shape of a man’s nose.”“It sometimes changes a good man into a bad one,” said the tall man. “You’ve been under arrest for ten minutes, Bob. Chicago policemen thought you might be coming to New York. They told us to watch for you. Are you coming with me quietly? That’s wise. But first here is something I was asked to give you. You may read it here at the window. It’s from a police man named Wells.”1．Where did the story happen?A．In a restaurant. B．In Chicago. C．In the West.

The water in the lake is very clear and everything is quiet and still.On the far side of the water is some farmland, and further away, across the field, is an old church built on a hill. It has just stopped raining. The lake is full and there is still some half-melted snow from last winter on the ground.The reason the water is so clear, and everything is so quiet and still, is that most of the plants and animal life in and around the lake is dead. There are no birds because all the fish and insects, which the birds need for food, have disappeared. Many trees in the forest are losing their leaves and bark (树皮). They are sick and dying. Others were blown down by the high winds of last winter.A farmer is working in a field planting something, something stronger enough to fight against pollution. They farmers live a hard life here, because the plant will be between 25% to 40% lower than a few years ago. The stone of the old church tower are turning to powder (灰，粉末)and unless the tower is repaired soon, it will fall down.All the death and destruction in this place is caused by the smoke coming out of factories and gases from cars and trucks. And yet this silent lake is hundreds of kilometers away from the nearest factory and highway.1．What time of the year do you think it is?A．Spring. B．Summer. C．Autumn. D．Winter.2．There are no animals or birds in or around the lake because ________.A．the weather is terribly cold B．the lake is quietC．the area is polluted D．they have all been killed3．The farmer have to plant a stronger kind of seed because ________.A．the soil (土壤) becomes less and less B．few plants can grow because of the pollutionC．the water in the lake can’t be used to water the field D．the wind is too strong4．The word “destruction” in the passage means “being ________.”A．developed B．harmed C．protected D．produced5．What do you think is the best title of the passage?A．A Beautiful Place of Interest.

I'd pass hours on beaches with my brother, picking up muddy stones and skimming them. It was satisfying making them dance on the surface. That perfect skim, where the stone glided (滑行), brought me fantastic feelings-and still does. I was a competitive child and good at throwing. I enjoyed javelin (标枪) and was on a baseball team, but skimming stones was just for fun.In adulthood, things changed. In August 2017, an advertisement for the All England Open Stone Skimming Championships drew my attention. I signed up and paid £2 for three stones. I skimmed 28 metres and tried again and again, buying more stones to feed my desire, finally reaching 37 metres, which won me third place. I drove home excitedly, and £20 lighter.I returned to the 2018 championship, hoping for a champion. Walking on to the small throwing platform in my trainers, I threw a decent 44 metres and won. I spotted someone wearing a competition sweater with "World" written across it. "Where's that?" I asked and he told me about the annual World Stone Skimming Championships in Scotland.It was a month away and a six-hour drive. I thought about the cost and distance for weeks until, the day before the contest, the feeling of winning made a decision for me. "I'm going." I arrived at a hotel at 10 pm, but couldn't sleep for nerves and excitement. Early the next morning, I drove to the crossing where the competitors had begun waiting. Ropes and buoys (浮标) marked a 63-metre course. I had no idea if my best score was good enough to win. When my name was called at the prize-giving ceremony that afternoon, I was overjoyed. I was the women's world champion.I'm a big believer in giving things a go. I'm 42, and to become a world champion at this stage is pretty left-field. It showed me it was worth jumping in the car that day, and proof that a childhood spent throwing muddy stones from beaches wasn't wasted.4. What did the author enjoy about the stone skimming as a child?A. The competitiveness of the sport.B. The outstanding ability at throwing.C. The satisfaction the glide of the stone brings.D. The fun time she spent with her dad at the beach.5. What mainly helped the author all the way through every championship?A. Her discipline.B. Her desire to win.C. Her confidence.D. Her efforts on training.6. What can we conclude from the passage?A. Take it easy in face of challenges.B. Change the world by being yourself.C. A bigger stage is ready for those who try.D. Either I will find a way, or I will make one.CClown fish live their adult lives in the protective arms of sea anemones, the small brightly colored sea animals attached onto rocks to house clown fish. Between birth and adulthood, however, the fish have to complete a treacherous journey. After hatching, they swim out to the open sea to finish developing. After maturing, the young fish swim back, during which they have to avoid a "wall of mouths" by sensing the unfriendly smells. With ocean acidification, a trend that is occurring worldwide, scientists began to wonder what might happen to fish's sense of smell.My team put 300 recently hatched clown fish in our lab. When we introduced a friendly fish odor (气味), they did not react. But when we introduced an enemy odor, they swam away. We then repeated the experiment with 300 new hatchlings from the same parents in the more acidic water-a level we can expect by the year 2100 if current trends continue. When we introduced friendly and unfriendly smells at the same time, the fish seemed unable to make up their minds, spending equal time swimming toward one smell and the other. They could sense chemical signals but couldn't recognize the meaning of them.It is always tricky to say that behaviors seen in a lab would also be seen in the wild. So we went to a sandy lake near one of the Great Barrier Reef's northern islands to test how wild-caught damselfish would react to enemy smells after exposing them to acidic water. In a tank, about half of them held in water withacidity expected by 2050 were attracted to the unfriendly odor and half were not, yet not one held in water anticipated by 2100 avoided being attracted to the enemy odor. We then let the marked damselfish loose in the lake. The fish once held in the most acidic water swam farther away from their protective home. Can fish adapt? Most studies have habituated fish to lifted acidic conditions over a few days or months-an extremely short length of time. The animals are not given a realistic opportunity to adapt. Yet some scientists thought that fish might escape the anger of ocean acidification, in part because early research done in the 1980s showed that certain animals had an astonishing ability to regulate their internal chemistry to survive acidified water. But maintaining normal functions such as avoiding danger is a different challenge.At a minimum, confusion could place yet another stressor on fish already challenged by rising water temperatures, overfishing, etc. Further, if many ocean creatures start to behave strangely, entire food webs and ecosystems could come crashing down. Although the science is still new, the results appear to be lining up: ocean acidification is messing with fish's minds.7. What does the underlined word "treacherous" in Paragraph 1 probably mean?A. Risky.B. Hurried.C. Mysterious.D. Helpless.8. What can we learn about the fish in the acidic water?A. They lost their senses to chemical signals.B. They were less likely to respond to threats.C. Their behavior in the lab disappeared in the wild.D. They tended to seek the protection from their home.9. What can be inferred from the passage?A. The author's study confirms previous findings.B. Fish's adaptation to acidic water is a matter of time.C. Different fishes behave differently to acidity change.D. The chances of restoring fish's minds are yet to be seen.10. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?A. What Do Different Stressors Do to Ocean Creatures?B. What Does Ocean Acidity Mean to Ocean Creatures?C. How Does Ocean Acidification Destroy the Ecosystem?D. How Do Ocean Creatures Adapt to Ocean Acidification?DA snake-robot designer, a technologist, an extradimensional physicist and a journalist walk into a room. The journalist turns to the crowd and asks: Should we build houses on the ocean? Like a think-tank panel, members of the team dream up far-out answers to the crucial problem, such as self-driving housing units that could park on top of one another in the coastal city center.The setting is X, the enterprise which considers more than 100 ideas each year, in areas ranging from clean energy to artificial intelligence. Although only a tiny percentage become "projects" withfar-reaching creativity, these projects exist, ultimately, to change the world, like Waymo, the biggest self-driving-car company. In the past 60 years, something strange has happened. As the academic study of creativity has thrived (蓬勃发展), the label innovation may have covered every tiny change of a soda can or a toothpaste flavor, but the rate of productivity growth has been mostly declining since the 1970s. John Fernald, an economist, points out that the notable exception to the post-1970 decline in productivity occurred when businesses throughout the economy finally figured out the breakthroughtechnology-information technology. John Fernald says, "It's possible that productivity took off, because we picked all the low-hanging fruit from the IT wave." Actually, the world economy continues to harvest the benefits of IT. But where will the next technology shock come from?Breakthrough technology results from two distinct activities-invention and innovation. Invention is typically the work of scientists and researchers in labs, while innovation is an invention put to commercial use. Seldom do the two activities occur successfully under the same roof. They tend to thrive in opposite conditions; while competition and consumer choice encourage innovation, invention has historically progressed in labs that are protected from the pressure to generate profit.Allowing well-funded and diverse teams to try to solve big problems is what gave us the computer and the Internet. Today, we fail to give attention to planting the seeds of this kind of ambitious research, while complaining about the harvest. "Companies are really good at combining existing breakthroughs in ways that consumers like. But the breakthroughs come from patient and curious scientists, not the rush to market," says Jon Gertner, the author of The Idea Factory."Technology is a tall tree," John Fernald said. "But planting the seeds of invention and harvesting the fruit of innovation are entirely distinct skills, often mastered by different organizations and separated by many years." As for me, both of them are essential for technology, although they are relatively independent. I don't think X is a planter or a harvester, actually. It is like building taller ladders. Nobody knows for sure what, if anything, the employees at such enterprises are going to find up on those ladders. But they're reaching. At least someone is.11. What is the main purpose of the first two paragraphs?A. To present the process of group discussion.B. To illustrate X's worry about big problems.C. To reveal the importance of the crazy ideas.D. To stress the varied backgrounds of the team.12. What can we learn from the passage?A. Breakthroughs must stand the test of the market.B. Innovation on necessities can promote productivity.C. Invention develops slowly under the pressure of profit.D. The harvest of innovation lies in some ambitious research.13. Regarding John Fernald's view on technology, the author is ______.A. supportiveB. cautiousC. uncertainD. critical14. What can be inferred about X from the passage?A. It will focus on innovation.B. It will have its outcome soon.C. It may give in to its fruitless reality.D. It may bring an encouraging outlook.EOnce upon a time, we were all question-asking experts. We started asking our parents numerous questions as kids. By preschool, our inquiries even reached the depths of science, philosophy, and the social order. Where does the sun go at night? Why doesn't that man have a home like we do? Why do rocks sink but ice floats? (1)Why does the child's urge to ask questions grow inactive in so many adults? An important factor is how the social environments surrounding us change as we age. Schools transform from a place for asking questions to one funded by our ability to answer them. (2) And we recognize that society rewards the people who propose to have the answers.(3) We can be braver about asking questions in public and encouraging others to pursue their curiosity, too. In that encouragement, we help create an environment where those around us feel safe to ask questions.When it comes to how we phrase questions, we are advised to open with less sensitive questions, favor follow-up questions, and keep questions open-ended. We can also practice asking questions of and for ourselves by keeping a running list of questions in a journal. (4) Finally, we could set aside time to ask absurd questions like "How would you accomplish a week's work in two hours?" This type of questions forces us to break the boundaries of our comfort zone.In the world that does not look much as it did years ago, we must ask questions. (5) Great questions can open up our capacity to change because they allow us to draw people in, opening them up to sharing knowledge, ideas, and opinions. And they are also our primary means of learning about the world. In short, asking questions is the best way to deepen our understanding of the things that matter to our life. As any child could probably tell us if we asked.A. Then, at some point, our inquiring desires disappear.B. It is a high-payoff behavior especially in times of change.C. The questions we ask depend on our attitudes as well as the situations.D. But as we grow up, asking questions fills us with worry and self-doubt.E. As such, one way to renew our inquiring spirit is to change the atmosphere.F. We learn to sell ourselves on the job market by what we know, not what we don't.G. It not only removes the publicity from question asking, but offers us a place to experiment.15. A. A B. B C. C D. D E. EF. FG. G16. A. A B. B C. C D. D E. EF. FG. G17. A. A B. B C. C D. D E. EF. FG.

Over the years I have been fascinated to read about studies into the power of touch.One famous study examined videos of how people responded to those near them who had been the victim of a bad fortune. Researchers looked at their interaction with the victim, and compared this with behaviour in non-human primates (灵长类动物). It found that humans and primates comfort one another and demonstrate care in a similar way. It makes sense for me that offering hugs to calm victims may be an instinct that we got from primate ancestors.Another study found that when the husband or wife of a patient in sorrow or discomfort reaches out and holds their hand and, as if by magic, they become settled and less sorrowful. Perhaps we shouldn't be surprised, as we have known for many years about the importance of touch. It symbolizes safety and love, and this is actually one of the most important aspects for development as a child. Is it any wonder that, when we are upset and distressed as adults, we seek out the same things? Whether young or old, humans are wired to be touched.Nevertheless, many people today suffer from "touch hunger", which typically occurs when a person experiences little touch or contact for a long time. It serves as a warning that the sense of security and care that comes with the contact of touch is missing. Thus, their well-being can suffer. It is associated with greater stress, anxiety and loneliness, and lower-quality sleep.Actually, even the briefest touch from us can bring strong emotional experiences to the receivers who suffer from "touch hunger". A warm handshake, a gentle pat on the shoulder, or a high-five is often enough to convey love and care.Be a giver!(1) What did the first study find about touch?____________________________________________________________________________ _____________________(2) Why is touch important?____________________________________________________________________________ _____________________(3) Please decide which part is false in the following statement, then underline it and explain why.Touch has the great power to give people who suffer from "touch hunger" strong emotional experiences, but a brief touch like a handshake is too light to convey love and care.____________________________________________________________________________ ___________________(4) Apart from touch, what other way(s) do you often use to express your love and care in your life?

2022-2023学年北京市延庆区高三第一次模拟考试英语试卷一、阅读理解（本大题共14小题，共28.0分）AGREAT BOOKS TO TEACH CHILDREN ABOUT CLIMATE CHANGE Here is a shortened list of books sponsored by the magazines TIME and TIME for Kids that are suitable for primary schoolers. To make the list, we considered how age-appropriate the material was, and whether the tone and story line left the reader feeling engaged and empowered rather than anxious or confused.Experts recommend the youngest kids to read books that explore the beauty and fragility(脆弱) of nature. When developing an appreciation for the world around them, they can switch to books that show the cause and effect of how humans treat our planet, and why it's important to respect the environment. For older primary school kids, picture books can illustrate how our use of fossil(化石) fuels contributes to global warming.Most of the books on the list also offer lessons about how children, families, schools, and communities can make a difference. THANK YOU, EARTH: A LOVE LETTER TO OUR PLANETBy April Pulley SayreThis photography book shows to us plants, animals and landscapes in vivid colors and descriptions. From up-close images of insects topictures of mountain ranges, the pages introduce children to the planets' diversity in a simple but effective way. THE LORAXBy Dr. SeussThanks to its rhyme, and whimsical illustration, this classic tale is suitable for young children who can grasp the scarcity of natural resources, and also older kids who can see a danger in valuing profits over long-term environmental harm.WE ARE WATER PROTECTORSBy Carole LindstromA tribute to native tribes that are protecting the planet，this book vividly shows the harms of oil pipelines. Kids will see the value of community action, while adults will recognize the story of the native tribes Standing Rock Sioux's fight against the Dakota Access Pipeline. POLAR BEAR, WHY IS YOUR WORLD MELTINGBy Robert E. WellsThis book introduces the greenhouse effect with illustrations showing how sunlight gets trapped. It then explains fossil-fuel energy, and our reliance on it for electricity and transportation. The pages are full of science.1. To make the book list for kids，what should be considered firstA. Confusing story line.B. The tone of anxiety.C. The books sponsorship.D. Age-appropriate content.2. What can kids learn from the book "WE ARE WATER PROTECTORS"A. They can see the value of community action.B. They can know how to protect the native tribes.C. They can recognize the story of the native tribes.D. They can understand the importance of oil pipelines.3. Which book explains how the greenhouse effect come into existenceA. THE LORAXB. WE ARE WATER PROTECTORSC. POLAR BEAR，WHY IS YOUR WORLD MELTING？D. THANK YOU，EARTH：A LOVE LETTER TO OUR PLANETBIt was the day of the big cross-country run. Students from seven different elementary schools in and around the small town of 100-Mile House, British Columbia, were warming up and walking the route through thick evergreen forest.I looked around and finally saw David standing by himself off to the side by a fence. He was small for ten years old, with messy red hair. But his usual big toothy grin was absent today. I walked over and asked him why he wasn't with the other children. The only response he gave me was he had decided not to run. What waswrong？He had worked so hard for this event! David's cerebral palsy(脑瘫) prevented him from walking or running like other children, but at school his peers thought of him as a regular kid. He always participated to the best of his ability in whatever they were doing. It just took him longer. He had stubbornly run a total of twenty three kilometres in practice runs to prepare for that day's two-and-a-half-kilometre run, and he had asked me to come and watch. We sat down together on some steps, but David wouldn't look at me.I quietly said, "David, if you don't want to run today, no one is going to make you. But if you're not running because you're afraid someone is going to laugh, that's not a good enough reason. There will always be someone who will laugh and say mean things. Are you going to let them get in your way If you really want to run, David, then you run!" I held my breath as David took this in. Then he looked at the field and said, "I'm gonna run."The starter's gun sounded. But he had only gone a few metres before he tripped and fell flat on the ground. My heart sank. As I started to shout encouragement, David picked himself up and started again. All the other runners had disappeared over the hill. But it didn't matter. He had worked for it, and he wouldn't give up!I waited anxiously by the finish line as the most runners completedand another race had begun. Still no David! I started to feel sick. Had I done the wrong thing Could he have become lost Finally, a small figure emerged from the forest. David raised his arms in triumph as he crossed the finish line to wild cheers and applause. He caught my eye, flashed me a toothy grin and said, "That was easy!"4. What made David unable to run like other childrenA. His mental problem.B. His physical condition.C. His laziness.D. His hesitation.5. David decided to run because ______.A. he was encouraged toB. he wanted to be the firstC. he was laughed into doing itD. he knew it was a shorter distance6. Which of the following can best describe DavidA. Brave and talkative.B. Out-going and kind-hearted.C. Lively and hard-working.D. Optimistic and strong-willed.7. By using the phrase "a toothy grin" in the last sentence, the writer intends to tell us about David's ______.A. competence in finishing a runB. positive attitude towards lifeC. ability to win cheers and applauseD. efforts to catch others' attentionCMaking use of the wind, the water or, for more than half of all plant species, animals, plants disperse (散播) seeds far and wide. Frugivores—animals such as gibbons that feed on the fleshy fruits of plants—eat and then excrete(排泄) seeds away from the original tree. The African savanna elephant can carry seeds up to a record-breaking distance of 65 kilometres. This ability to shift geographical ranges will be crucial to plants when it comes to surviving climate change. However, just like all gibbon species, the African savanna elephant is endangered, its population down by 60 percent over the past 50 years.Researchers in Denmark and the USA have published a new study into how the loss of seed-dispersing animals could affect the resilience(恢复力) of forests and other natural ecosystems. According to their research, this loss has already reduced the ability of plants to move in pace with climate change by 60 percent, and in some areas by as much as 95 percent.Evan Fricke, lead author of the study, explains that in order to reach these results, they pulled together existing data from all previous studies and used machine learning to develop models that could estimate the seed dispersal potential of any animal, even ones that are now extinct. The researchers found that, historically, the decline of seed-dispersing animals has had the greatest influence on plantsacross the temperate (温带的) regions of North and South America, Europe and southern Australia. "Our temperate ecosystems have lost a lot of the natural seed-dispersal function that they would have had." explains Fricke, referring to large mammals that were once widespread in these regions.Nevertheless, the poor conservation status of many seed-dispersing tropical animals puts plants in regions such as Southeast Asia and Madagascar most at risk today. Without the preservation of such animals, global seed dispersal could decline by a further 15 percent. "The direct implication of this decline is that many plant species will be unable to keep pace with a changing climate," says Fricke. "That means the potential loss not only of plant biodiversity but of the ecosystem functions that those plants provide."As wildlife is lost, plants can no longer adapt and survive and forests become less sustainable, which reduces the amount of carbon they can store. They also lose their ability to support wildlife. Whole ecosystems are disrupted. The conclusion, Fricke says, is clear: we must conserve currently endangered species and restore the populations of important seed dispersers. "Independent of climate change, rewilding has the potential to benefit our ecosystems, but in a changing climate, it has the added benefit ofincreasing the climate resilience of those ecosystems," he says. 8. The author mentions the African savanna elephant in Paragraph1 is to ______.A. highlight the problemB. predict the endingC. express an opinionD. provide a solution9. What does Fricke conclude from the studyA. plants disperse seeds by way of animals excreting them.B. rewilding can promote the climate resilience of our ecosystems.C. seed-dispersing animals could hardly affect the natural ecosystems.D. the loss of seed-dispersing animals has little influence on temperate regions.10. Which would be the best title of the passageA. The Resilience of EcosystemsB. The Conservation of Seed-dispersing AnimalsC. Animals That Spread Seeds Are Essential—And Under ThreatD. Animals That Spread Seeds Are Endangered—And Well ProtectedDWe've heard for years that breakfast is the most important meal of the day. But, it actually might be even more important than previously thought, according to a study published in the Journalof the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, which examined the effects of skipping meals and meal frequency as related to mortality (死亡率) and heart health.The study, which was published in August of last year, sought to find out if eating behaviors like meal frequency, meal skipping, and time between meals were associated with all-cause and cardiovascular disease (CVD) mortality.The study consisted of 24,011 adults 40 years or older who participated from 1999 to 2014. Researchers looked at various eating behaviors of participants who self-reported their eating habits every 24 hours. Causes of death were tracked via death records through December 31, 2015.After examining participants throughout the years, researchers found that certain eating behaviors were in fact linked to higher rates of premature death. Eating only one meal per day was associated with an increased risk of all-cause and CVD mortality while skipping breakfast was linked to an increased risk of CVD mortality, and skipping lunch or dinner was linked to an increased risk of all-cause mortality. Lastly, the study found that having meals too closely together(less than four and half hours apart) was also linked to all-cause premature death.So, what does this mean for the average person "At the end of theday what matters is that an individual can meet their nutritional needs for optimal (最佳) health," explains Keri Gans, author of The Small Change Diet, "and breakfast typically is a good vehicle for nutrients associated with a decrease in cardiovascular risk, such as fiber and vitamins". "If by eliminating meals they are missing out on important nutrients their body needs, then long term that can be harmful to their health," leads to a "higher risk for certain cancers and heart disease," she says.While this study was large and comprehensive in many ways, there are also many limitations. It was mostly based on a 24-hour, self-reported dietary recall, "which may not always be the best method for dietary assessment," explains Gans. "The participants may not accurately recall what they ate or honestly report it leading to the potential of misinformation." Researchers noted that it was impossible to consider the role of sleep in the relationship between food and mortality, as well as a host of other unmeasured factors.The bottom line is that while these findings about the relationships between meal skipping and mortality are important, there are a lot more factors that go into premature death.11. What are mainly discussed in Paragraphs 3 and 4A. Research process and findings.B. The cause and findings.C. Research subjects and purpose.D. The topic and significance.12. What does the underlined word "eliminating" in Paragraph 5 most probably meanA. Reducing.B. Overeating.C. Skipping.D. Consuming.13. What can we infer from the studyA. Its limitations are fully taken into account in the study.B. Consuming adequate nutrients is the key to maintain overall health.C. The risk of all-cause premature death is unrelated to skipping dinner.D. Researchers learned about eating behaviors by observing the participants.14. What is the author's attitude towards skipping breakfastA. Favorable.B. Unconcerned.C. Skeptical.D. Disapproving.二、阅读七选五（本大题共5小题，共10.0分）Why Boundaries at Work Are Essential What is a boundary, you ask A boundary is a limit defining you in relation to someone or something. (1) If you have informed someone that this is your office space, your desk, or your chair, you have attempted to set physical boundaries.Letting co-workers know you are not comfortable shaking their hands or hugging them at a holiday party, especially with Covid atthis time, is another example of setting a physical boundary. It is often easier to understand a physical boundary. Emotional or mental boundaries may be subtler(更微妙的). (2)Emotional boundaries are related to our feelings and how something or someone's behavior affects us. For example, if a boss treats you disrespectfully by yelling at you or a colleague frequently interrupts you in meetings, you are likely to feel hurt, embarrassed, and perhaps angry. Understandably, by having a courageous conversation with both your boss and co-worker about their behavior, the impact it has on you, and your expectations regarding future behavior, you are setting healthy emotional boundaries for yourself at work.Sometimes we set a boundary that is a combination of both a physical and emotional one. (3) One example of this is being repeatedly asked to work late during the week/weekends or while on vacation. Another example is being required to see too many clients or patients to the point we feel tired at the end of the day and exhausted by Friday. Often, the above workplace demands lead to increased stress and a high potential for burnout(倦怠) over time.Mental boundaries are related to our beliefs, values, cultural norms, ethics(道德), and standards. For example, you value a workplaceculture that treats employees and clients with respect and dignity and acts ethically. After six months, you realize that company leaders are repeatedly behaving in ways not consistent with this. (4) Over time, this may lead to significant stress and physical symptoms within. (5) Boundaries serve many functions. They help protect us, clarify our responsibility, preserve our physical and emotional energy, and live our values and standards. Learning the skill of boundary setting helps empower us to prioritize our values and well-being and better manage our stress. Identifying, setting, and maintaining boundaries are skills—valuable skills that, unfortunately, we are often not taught in school or the workplace.A.Why are boundaries important？B.However, they are equally, if not more, important.C.Therefore, we need to tell the difference between them.D.Setting a boundary in the above example may be quite helpful.E.Boundaries can be physical, mental, emotional, tangible, or intangible.F.Your values and ethical standards don't match with your company's, which likely will lead to internal conflict.G.Such boundaries often involve being asked to do more than we feel capable of for an extended period of time.15.
