2020年安徽省安庆市第一中学高三英语期末考试试题及答案解析
2020年安徽省安庆市第一中学高三英语期末考试试题及答案解析第一部分阅读（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AWhile Jennifer was at home taking an online exam for her business law class, a monitor（监控器）a few hundred miles away was watching her every move.Using a web camera equipped in Jennifer'sLos Angelesapartment, the monitor inPhoenixtracked how frequently her eyes moved from the computer screen and listened for the secret sounds of a possible helper in the room. Her Internet access was locked remotely to prevent Internet searches, and her typing style was analyzed to make sure she was who she said she was: Did she enter her student number at the same speed as she had in the past？Or was she slowing down？In the battle against cheating, this is thecutting edgeand a key to encourage honesty in the booming field of online education. This technology gives trust to the entire system, to the institution and to online education in general. Only with solid measures against cheating, experts say, can Internet universities show that their exams and diplomas are valid — that students haven't searched the Internet to get the right answers.Although online classes have existed for more than a decade, the concern over cheating has become sharper in the last year with the growth of "open online courses". Private colleges, public universities and corporations are jumping into the online education field, spending millions of dollars to attract potential students, while also taking steps to help guarantee honesty at a distance.Aside from the web cameras, a number of other high-tech methods are becoming increasingly popular. Among them are programs that check students’ identities using personal information, such as the telephone numbers they once used.Other programs can produce unique exams by drawing on a large list of questions and can recognize possible cheaters by analyzing whether difficult test questions are answered at the same speed as easy ones. As in many university classes, term papers are scanned against some large Internet data banks for cheating.1. Why was Jennifer watched in an online exam?A. To correct her typing mistakes.B. To find her secrets in the room.C. To keep her from dishonest deeds.D. To prevent her from slowing down.2. What does the underlined expression "cutting edge" in Paragraph 3 probably mean?A. sharpening toolB. advanced techniqueC. effective ruleD. dividing line3. How can some programs find out possiblecheaters?A. By scanning the Internet test questions.B. By checking the question answering speed.C. By producing a large number of questions.D. By giving difficult test questions.BAge has never been a problem for 16-year-old Thessalonika Arzu-Embry. After all, she’s already got her master’s degree.The North Chicago-area teen started homeschooling at the age of 4. She began having an influence on others soon after. When she was 6 years old, she was an inspirational speaker at an organization called Tabitha House Community Service, which is for people who were forced to leave their homes because of earthquake, flood and other natural disasters.At the age of 11, she graduated from high school and then earned her bachelor’s degree in psychology in 2013. She completed those classes online as she was traveling for church events and leadership meetings.She doesn’t stop there, though. The teen plans to focus on aviation psychology (航空心理学) for her further study, a decision inspired by her father who is a pilot. She grew up around airplanes and took fights all the time. Her goal is to use it to help pilots deal with problems that could have deadly results once the plane takes off — a topic that has been in the news lately. For her, it’s a mix of two of her interests.In her free time, Thessalonika enjoys playing tennis, swimming and being active in her youth group at church. She also has three self-published books, which are on her site. Jump the Education Barrier is written to help students finish college, and in the future aims to help business owners with trends. Her third book The Genius Race is designed to help people to be talents in various areas of life.4. Which of the following is TRUE about Thessalonika?A. When she was 6 years old, she started homeschooling.B. She gained her master’s degree at the age of 11.C. She majored in science and technology.D. In 2013 she got her bachelor’s degree through completing courses online.5. What is her next plan according to the passage?A. Major in aviation psychology.B. Deliver inspiring speeches for church events and leadership meetings.C. Be active in her youth group at church.D. Write another book to help people to be talents.6. Why does she write the book Jump the Education Barrier?A. It aims to help people to be geniuses.B. It is intended to give students a hand to complete college.C. It is designed to arouse people’s awareness of psychology.D. The author hope to share her own experience with others.7. Which ofthe following can be the best title for the text?A. The Story of ThessalonikaB. To be a talentC. Three Published BooksD. HomeschoolingCThe Nez Perce Indians are a tribe that lived in the Pacific Northwest of theUnited States. At the time of the Lewis and Clark expedition (探险队) , which was one of the first journeys by Americans from the Atlantic coast to the Pacific coast and back again, the Nez Perce territory (领土) covered about 17 million acres, covering parts of Washington, Oregon, and Idaho. Butthat was a brief sweet history.In September 1805, when Lewis and Clark came off theRockieson their westward journey, the entire exploring party was hungry and ill -- too weak to defend themselves.Had the Nez Perce chosen to attack them, they could have put an end to the Lewis and Clark expedition there on the banks ofClearwater River. Instead the Nez Perce welcomed the white Americans and looked after them until they made a full recovery. Thus began a long friendship between the Nez Perce and white Americans. But white men’s greed for land and gold finally broke the friendship.In 1855 Governor Isaac Stevens ofWashingtonTerritoryinvited the Nez Perce to a peace conference. He said there were a great many white people in the country, and many more would come. But the Chief of the tribe at that time, Old Joseph, replied, “Take away your paper. I will not touch it with my hand.”Things were quiet for a while after that, but not for long. When Old Joseph died, the chiefship was passed onto Young Joseph. In the late 1870s, government officials came to order the Nez Perce to leavetheWallowaValleyand then began hard battles between the Nez Perce and the white soldiers. After the tribe had fought thirteen battles and moved 1,600 miles to-wards Canada in an attempt to retreat(撤退) north, Young Joseph, gave in to the United States Army. Here was his famous statement, “Hear me my chiefs. I am tired; my heart is sick and sad. From where the sun now stands I will fight no more forever.”In 1885, Chief Joseph was sent along with manyof his band to the Colville Reservation inWashingtonwhere Joseph continued to lead his band for another 25 years, at times coming into conflict with the leaders of 11 other tribes living on the reservation.(保留地，居留地)8. What isTRUEabout the Lewis andClark expedition?A. They were well cared for by the Nez Perce.B. They ended their expedition on the banks ofClearwater River.C. They started the first battle with the Nez Perce.D. They were the first Americans to travel from theAtlanticto the Pacific.9. What ended the friendship between the Nez Perce and the Whites?A. Old Joseph’s proud mannerB. White men’s increasing demand for land and goldC. A growing number of white men in the landD The breakdown of the peace talk10. Young Joseph gave in at last because ________.A. he grew olderB. he was terribly illC. he hated the warD. he lost other chiefs’ support11. The passage might be followed by a paragraph about ________.A. the customs and traditions of the Nez Perce IndiansB. the last years of Chief Joseph in the Colville ReservationC. lasting fights between the Nez Perce and the whitesD. constant conflicts between the Nez Perce and other tribesDPopularization has in some cases changed the original meaning of emotional (情感的) intelligence. Many people now misunderstand emotional intelligence as almost everything desirable in a person's makeup that cannotbe measured by an IQ test, such as character, motivation, confidence, mental stability, optimism and “people skills.” Research has shown that emotional skills may contribute to some of these qualities, but most ofthem move far beyond skill-based emotional intelligence.We prefer to describe emotional intelligence as a specific set of skills that can be used for either good or bad purposes. The ability to accurately understand how others are feeling may be used by a doctor to find how best to help her patients, while a cheater might use it to control potential victims. Being emotionally intelligent does not necessarily make one a moral person.Although popular beliefs regarding emotional intelligence run far ahead of what research can reasonably support, the overall effects of the publicity have been more beneficial than harmful. The most positive aspect of this popularization is a new and much needed emphasis (重视) on emotion by employers, educators and others interested in promoting social well-being. The popularization of emotional intelligence has helped both the public and researchers re-evaluate the functionality of emotions and how they serve people adaptively in everyday life.Although the continuing popular appeal of emotional intelligence is desirable, we hope that such attention will excite a greater interest in the scientific and scholarly study of emotion. It is our hope that in coming decades, advances in science will offer new perspectives (视角) from which to study how people manage their lives. Emotional intelligence, with its focus on both head and heart, may serve to point us in the right direction.12. What is a common misunderstanding of emotional intelligence?A. It can be measured by anIQ test.B. It helps to exercise a person’s mind.C. It includes a set of emotional skills.D. It refers to a person’s positive qualities.13. Why does the author mention “doctor” and “cheater” in paragraph 2?A. To explain a rule.B. To clarify a concept.C. To present a fact.D. To make a prediction.14. What is the author’s attitude to the popularization of emotional intelligence?A. Favorable.B. Intolerant.C. Doubtful.D. Unclear.15. What does the last paragraph mainly talk about concerning emotional intelligence?A. Its appeal to the public.B. Expectations for future studies.C. Its practical application.D. Scientists with new perspectives.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。

It's our pleasure to confirm this year’s Category Winners.First Novel Award WinnerBook: Eleanor Oliphant is Completely FineAuthor: Gail HoneymanEleanor is 31 years old; work finishes on a Friday and begins again on a Monday. Between, her only company will be two bottles of vodka and her own solitary, unique wit (机智). It is contentment, of a kind, but an unexpected shared experience suddenly opens the door to possibility. Challenging reader expectations with a living, breathing character, Gail Honeyman’s debut (初次登台、开张)is a funny and moving diamond.Biography Award WinnerBook: In the Days of RainAuthor: Rebecca StottThe Exclusive Brethren were aclosed community who believed the world is ruled by Satan. Into this is born Rebecca. Her father had been an influential Brethren Minister. As her father lay dying, he begged her to help him write the memoir. He wanted to tell the story of their family who for generations had all been members of a fundamentalist Christian sect.Poetry Award WinnerBook: Inside the WaveAuthor: Helen DunmoreTo be alive is to be inside the wave, always travelling until it breaks and is gone. These poems are concerned with the borderline between the living and the dead — the underworld and the human living world – and the acutely intense being of both.Children's Award WinnerBook:The ExplorerAuthor: Katherine Rundell, Hannah HornFour children survive their aircraft plunging into the Amazon jungle, but for Fred and his friends it’s only the beginning of a cruel battle for survival. Brimming with adventure and a real command of character and incident, Rundell has few peers in superb children's fiction.1.What kind of life does Eleanor lead?A.boring and lonely.B.funny and touching.C.exciting and complex.D.ordinary and happy.2.Why did Rebecca Stott writeIn the Days of Rain?A.To introduce beliefs of the Exclusive Brethren.B.To help her father fulfill his last wish.CTo share the life of fundamentalist Christians.D.To pass on her family traditions.3.For a young adventurous soul, which book seems more appealing?A.Eleanor Oliphant is Completely FineB.In the Days of RainC.Inside the WaveD.The ExplorerBBe it from the mouths of foreigners who have lived here for a few years or from stories on travel websites, one of the most common qualities that people list about Shanghai is the infectious energy that courses through the city.For some, this energy is defined by the way of life—Shanghai is a city that never sleeps. In the day, the streets arc always bustling with people from all over the world. After all, the city has long been China’s most cosmopolitan city, having been the epicenter of trade and cultural exchange between Chinese and foreigners since the city was forced to open its door to the world in 1843 after the First Opium War (1840-42).Shanghai’s ubiquitous delivery people can be found on the roads even past midnight, rushing from point to point on their trusty electric scooters to satiate the hunger of night owls. Even before the break of dawn, pensioners can be found gathering in parks, ready to kick start their day with a tai chi session.For others, this energy is generated from the friction between the contrasts the city has. Indeed, it does not take long for one to realize that Shanghai's charmlies in it being a binary of old and new.Here, charming neoclassical architecture and art deco structures stand alongside modem buildings with shimmering glass and metal facades, rustic (质朴的)lane houses and shikumen buildings. Humble mom-and-pop shops that look stuck in time can often be found right next tohipdining venues or industrial-chic fashion storesselling designer apparel.One of the best places to get an overview of these surreal contrasts is none other than the tallest building in the city — the Shanghai Tower in Lujiazui. Measuring a dizzying 632 meters in height, this architectural marvel boasts having the world's highest observation deck within a building or structure. It also comes with the world's fastest elevators which would get you from the bottom to the top at 20.5 meters per second.On the other side of the Huangpu River is where you would find the Bund, which is home to magnificent neoclassical buildings. The Bund is to Shanghai what Times Square is to New York or what the Champs-61ysees is to Paris. A trip to Shanghai would not be complete without exploring this iconic waterfront promenade.Autumn is the best time to experience Shanghai on foot, not merely because the weather is conducive for walking, but because this is when the roads and sidewalks in many areas are blanketed with a layer of color1 ful fallen leaves.4. Why is the example of delivery man mentioned?A. To make a contrast with pensioners’ biological clock.B. To illustrate the vibrant energy of modern Shanghai.C. To highlight the diligence and consideration of delivery man.D. To feature the courier delivery service in full swing.5. Which of the following is TRUE about the contrast of Shanghai?A. The contrast mainly arises from the First Opium War.B. The design of the Shanghai Tower stands for a contrast.C. A marked contrast is shown in the use of building materials.D. The dishes served in mom-and-pop shops represent the outdated flavor.6. The underlined word “hip” in paragraph 5 is closest in meaning to________.A. photographicB. modestC. peculiarD. stylish7. Which of the following will be most probably discussed following the last paragraph?A. Stunning views of the Shanghai skyline.B. The best places to view the seasonal spectacle.C. The walking path thathugs the Huangpu River.D. Must-try dishes and food items typical of Shanghai.CWhen Rich Jean wanted to help his daughter, Abigail, learn to read, he took her to the library near their homein Brooklyn, N. Y. That's where they met Hasina Islam, who Jean says arose her interest in reading and the library.“You see what you started? You see that spark that you put in this child?” Jean told Hasina Islam at aStoryCorpsconversation in 2016. At the time, Abigail was 7 and Islam was 27. Their friendship began when Abigail was 3. Through the years, Islam has offered book suggestions that Abigail has read with great enthusiasm. “What's cool is that Hasina has recommended a lot of books that I, at the time, thought might be a little too advanced for you," Jean told Abigail. “Like Charlie and the Chocolate Factory." Abigail said.Islam's own love of the library was sparked when she was in the third grade. She lived near the main branch of the Queens Public Library in New York City, and she went there to research Henry Hudson, an English explorer, for a school project."The librarian made me feel so special. She remembered my name, and my favorite thing was that she gave me book recommendations," she said." When I was graduating from college, I thought about how I was going to make a difference in the world. And I remembered my librarian，and I remembered that feeling that she gave me every single time I went to the library. ”8. When might Abigail and Hasina Islam first meet?A. In 2012.B. In 2016.C. In 2018.D. In 2020.9. What do we know about Charlie and the Chocolate Factory from the text?A. It was Islam's favorite book.B. It might be hard for Abigail.C. It was a best seller at that time.D. It was important for Abigail.10. How did Hasina Islam help Abigail?A. By offering books to her.B. By reading together with her.C. By giving advice on books.D. By introducing great libraries.11. What is paragraph 3 mainly about?A. Islam's special college life.B. Islam's working experiences.C Islam's living conditions. D. Islam's reasons for loving library.DDisease-carrying mosquitoes can spread diseases without affecting themselves. Nearly 700 million people get a mosquito-borne illness each year, which results in over one million deaths. Humans experience continuous pressures from disease-carrying mosquitoes in many parts of the world, so we have to find ways to fight against those insects because they keep getting scarier.Even though DEET remains the most commonly used, and most powerful, mosquito repellent ever developed, scientists are actively pursuing effective products based entirely on plant oils. While DEET is an effective contact repellent, many people dislike the oily feel and smell on their skin, and sometimes some people are sensitive to it. Consumers are always interested in alternatives to DEET and other synthetic repellents, so there are numerous natural repellents on the market.In his lab atIowaStateUniversity, Dr. Joel Coats and his team have successfully tested these repellents against three species of dangerous mosquitoes. The first group of the new repellents act through the air. These chemicals have a vapor action that provides protection, and they are called “spatial” repellents, since they act through space. These are potentially most useful in backyards, parks, and houses. The other group are the classic ones that stop insects from standing on a treated surface, such as human skin, clothing or tents; collaborators at the USDA-ARS and BioGents have conducted testing with humans to confirm the effectiveness and identify the very best ones.The new repellents were designed and made from the natural materials in plant essential oils. They maintain many of the advantages of the natural repellents: They are fully biodegradable, with no ecological concerns or environmental wastes, and generally considered safe like the thousands of types of plant essential oils used in the flavor and perfume industries. However, thorough testing will be conducted to determine if they are truly non-poisonous because there is still no enough evidence.12. What does the author mainly want to show in paragraph 1?A. The way mosquitoes spread disease.B. The high death rate of mosquito-borne illness.C. The difficulty of fighting disease-carrying mosquitoes.D. The urgency of finding tools to fight against mosquitoes.13. What is a disadvantage of DEET?A. It won’t be effective for long.B. It can’t be applied universally.C. It causes discomfort to the users.D. It greatly harms people’s health.14. What can we learn about the second group of the new repellents?A. They can kill mosquitoes indirectly.B. They are mainly used in the open air.C. They are more effective on human skin.D. They can prevent mosquitoes from contacting users.15. What’s the author’s attitude to the new repellents?A. Subjective.B. Objective.C. Doubtful.D. Disapproving.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。

A small dog sat in his lap. Stewart, a vet (兽医) at an animal hospital, noticed its injured fur and skin. He approached the man and offered to bring medication for the dog's skin, a gift the man readily accepted.“I remember returning a week later, and the hair was coming back the rash (皮疹) was gone,” Stewart told the Modesto Bee. Tom said his dog was finally sleeping at night again because it was no longer feeling restless for its illness. “‘And you know,’ he said, ‘I’m sleeping at night.’ He started to cry, and that got me touched too,” Stewart says.Stewart was addicted. “When you do good deeds, there is something you get in return that feels much larger. I knew I wanted to keep doing it, "he told .Today, Stewart, 50, has his own practice in town, yet he still finds time for street pets. He's helped roughly 400 animals since 2011.There's a great need for his kind of help. About 25 percent of Modesto's homeless population owns a pet, but there are few healthcare options available to them. To fill that gap, Stewart can often be found wandering dark streets and underpasses (地下通道), anywhere he thinks the homeless might be camped out. Stewart pays for almost all of it out of his own pocket. For those expensive procedures, he set up a GoFundMe account to help cover treatment costs. “I don't ever want to have to turn anybod y away,” he explains.“To have somebody like Dr. Stewart come out here to take care of my dog just because it's the right thing to do, that's huge.” Joe, one of the dog owners, said in a video that Stewart posted on the GoFundMe page.4.

What's the text mainly about?A．Vets are in great need. B．Stewart rose to fame overnight.C．Street pets deserve due treatment. D．A vet's kind act brings big impact. Almost half of the participants in a study who were asked to turn off their phone notifications for a day said it was still influencing their habits two years later, say the researchers behind the new study. At first, Martin Pielot from telecommunications firm Telefonica in Spain, and Luz Rello of Carnegie Mellon University, wanted to last their Do Not Disturb challenge across a whole week-—but they couldn’t find anyone to take part for that length of time. “We just got empty, frightened stares,” Pielot said. “And so finally we backed down to 24 hours.”Overall, the group is made up of 30 volunteers. Pielot and Rello found that the responses (反应) to a day away from notifications were different a lot: for people who didn’t check their phones that much anyway, it wasn’t such a big deal. But for those whose f riends, bosses, and co-workers expect quick replies, the study brought on some extra stress and anxiety.For 9 participants, the Do Not Disturb challenge brought on extra feelings of missing out on something, such as a message from a friend or a package delivery (递送). At the same time, 19 participants reported feeling clearly more concentrated and more productive over the day with their notifications off. Some participants felt less connected to their social groups as a result of the Do Not Disturb challeng e, so there’s a lot to take in from the study: it shows how phone notifications interrupt (打断) us, and how they connect us to others and enable us to manage social expectations.On top of all those findings, the researchers are eager to point out how the day off from phone notifications changed habits in the long term-22 of the volunteers said they planned to change their phone notification settings as a result of the Do Not Disturb challenge, and after two years 13 of them were still following through with the changes. Considering most people seldom touch their phone’s notification settings, that’s a high number.8. What can we learn from Pielot’s words?A．Few people are interested in the experiment.B．Most people overly depend on their cell phones.C．People can get paid for taking part in the challenge.D．The participants can bear no phone notifications for one week.9. What’s the response of most participants to the experiment?A．More happiness. B．Some extrastress. C．Nothingdifferent.D．Higherproductivity.10. How do the researchers feel about the result of the experiment?A．Pleased. B．Moved. C．Doubtful. D．Regretful.11. What’s the purpose of the research?A．To show those not using phones live longer.B．To find out how to get rid of phones in the long run.C．To examine the influence of turning off phone notifications.D．To explore how a day without phones affects people’s habits.Have you heard of the term “tweenager”? It’s a slang (俚语) word used in the UK to describe children between about ten and twelve years old. They are between being a junior and a teenager. Why do the press and media refer to kids in this way?Well, more and more companies now create products and services for tweenagers. They seem to tell us that tweenagers must have more money, freedom and influence upon their parents than they’ve ever had before.Most children in the UK today get more pocket money than kids did a decade ago. Despite problems happening fairly often and regularly in the economy, parents generally have more money to give than before, since they are having fewer children on average than in the past. In addition, a higher divorce (离婚) rate in the UK makes parents try to compensate by buying presents for their children. It’s a bad habit for both parents and children to get into, but parents are under constant pressure from commercial marketing and the requests of their children.You may wonder how tweenagers have more freedom than previous generations. Well, UK children today are very media- and computer-literate. They have access to much more information about life and the world. They may have experienced a lot in life as well. With such sophistication (老于世故) at such a young age, it’s no wonder tweenagers are able to influence their parents.Now UK tweenagers are also very fashion-conscious and concerned about their images. In a world of television programs that promise immediate success and fame at a young age, some people think it’s extremely important to look fashionable.So what does tweenage fashion look like? It’s lots of brightly colored materials, particularly pink, and usually plain, not patterned. There are plenty of bows, necklaces and bracelets, too.But can it really be healthy for us to encourage kids to be like adults at a young age? Are we stealing childhoods in return for a bit of profit? Well, the UK government is certainly concerned, and for that reason has strict laws preventing companies from clearly and openly marketing their products and services to children.12. What is the use of the first paragraph?A．To explain a concept and bring up the topic.B．To tell the difference between a junior and a teenager.C．To show why people in the UK prefer to use the slang.D．To state how the slang came into being and make a summary.13. Why are more products and services created for tweenagers?A．Because children education is becoming more important.B．Because they are more affordable to tweenagers.C．Because it is better to study music from an early age.D．Because more companies are creating products and services.14. What does the underlined word “compensate” in Paragraph 3 mean?A．Keep company. B．Reward. C．Make up. D．Motivate.15. Why do tweenagers pay more attention to their appearance?A．They are afraid of being laughed at by others.B．They have less freedom than previous generations.C．They wish to become successful and famous quickly.D．They are encouraged to be like adults at a young age.Stress Management: How to Reduce, Prevent, and Cope with StressIf you’re living with high levels of stress, you’re putting your health and happiness at risk. Stress does harm to your health. It may seem like there’s nothing you can do about stress. 16 The following stress management tips can help you do that.Get movingWhen you’re stressed, the last thing you probably feel like doing is getting up and exercising. 17 You don’t have to be an athlete or spend hours in a gym to experience the benefits. Exercise releases endorphins that make you feel good, and it can also serve as a valuable distraction from your daily worries.Connect to othersThere is nothing more calming than spending quality time with another human being who makes you feel safe and understood. So make it a point to connect regularly — and in person — with family and friends. Keep in mind that the people you talk to don’t have to be able to fix your stress.18 . And try not to let worries about looking weak keep you from opening up. The people who care about you will be happy because of your trust. It will only strengthen your relationship.19When you’re worn out by your morning traffic, or stuck in a stressful meeting at work, you need a way to manage your stress levels right now. The fastest way to reduce stress is by taking a deep breath and using your senses — what you see, hear, taste, and touch — or through a comfortable movement. By viewing a favorite photo, smelling a specific smell, listening to a favorite piece of music, tasting sweets, or hugging a pet, for example, you can quickly relax and focus yourself.Effective stress management helps you break the hold stress has on your life, so you can be happier, healthier, and more productive. But stress management is not one-size-fits-all. 20Our son, Tom, was different from others, because he was born with a serious brain disease.

2020-2021学年安徽省合肥一中、六中、八中联考高一（上）期末英语试卷一、阅读理解（本大题共15小题，共30.0分）AUnsolved Mysteries About the Planet Earth ♦ Mystery 1：Where did all the water come from？Water covers 70 percent of Earth's surface and earns it the nickname "the blue planet".But where did it come from？The most popular scientific theory states that theH2O came from several violent asteroids （小行星）filled with ice.Another suggests that the wateractually has been around since Earth's formation.However it happened,though,it'scertainly worked out well for Earth's life forms.♦ Mystery 2：What about all the oxygen？Another thing is the planet's oxygen.Tiny creatures released oxygen as a wasteproduct,filling the atmosphere with it.After that,the level of oxygen in Earth's atmosphere went wildly up and down until it finally calmed down around 540 million years ago.Since then,it's remained at about the breathable level we experience today.But what caused it to be suddenly steady？♦ Mystery 3：What caused the Cambrian （寒武纪）Explosion？The Cambrian Explosion refers to the explosion of complex life forms that occurred on Earth about 540 million years ago.Before then life had consisted mostly of bacteria.But at the beginning of the Cambrian period,complex creatures began developing at a rate never seen before.Suddenly,life forms had brains,eyes,and bones.Most living creatures today can trace their blood back to the Cambrian period.♦ Mystery 4：Will we ever be able to predict earthquakes？We still haven't been able to come up with a way to accurately predict earthquakes.We can certainly try,but our current technology cannot predict them exactly.We know thatearthquakes start when rocks crack underground and send earthquake waves toward the surface,but we haven't figured out why that happens,or how to predict it.1.What was created later by creatures on Earth？______A. Oxygen.B. Water.C. Bacteria.D. Ice.2.Which of the following is true according to the text？______A. Earth is called the blue star because of water coverage.B. The level of oxygen has been steady all the time.C. Complex creatures had rapid development in the Cambrian period.D. We know nothing about predicting earthquakes.3.What do we know about Mystery 4？______A. It is the oldest mystery of the four.B. It will be solved in the near future.C. It is the most difficult mystery to solve of the four.D. It is a matter that has extremely practical significance.BRain beats against the window,matching my mood.I should have known that my new job at the hospital was too good to be true.Throughout the day,rumors warned that the newest employee from each department would be laid off.I was the newest one in the training department.My boss appeared. "You probably know were cutting back on staff," he said."Administration wants us to offer outplacement classes to help those employees find other jobs,showing them how to act in an interview,for example. " "Fine," I answeredunwillingly,not knowing what else to say.I decided to go home early that day.In the hall,I met the lady who brought us cookies everyFriday.She was a little woman with gray hair.Only her head and the top of her green apron were visible over the cart（小车）loaded with cleaning supplies.At least she had a job！At the final meeting,laid off workers formed a line at the door.A colleague whispered,"I can't believe our Cookie Lady is being laid off.We'll miss her as much as we'll miss her cookies. " When the colleague spoke to her in Spanish,I knew my classes would be useless for herI decided to do something for her.I wrote to a newspaper expressing how I felt about theunselfishness of the Cookie Lady who needed a job.A few days later,my article appeared in the newspaper and the Cookie Lady was allowed to stay in her position.On the same day,I received a letter,which seemed so unlikely that I read it twice.An editor of a localmagazine likes your piece and wants you to call her next time you are looking forwork……"4.How did the author feel on that rainy day？______A. Nervous.B. Excited.C. Angry.D. Proud.5.What was the author asked to do？______A. Take care of patients.B. Leave earlier that day.C. Resign from the hospital.D. Help the laid-off workers.6.How did the author help the Cookie Lady？______A. He offered her a high-paid job.B. He gave her advice on job hunting.C. He made her story known to others.D. He taught her how to pass an interview.7.What does the story tell us？______A. A friend in need is a friend indeed.B. Good deeds have their rewards.C. Little people can make a big difference.D. Love brings more joy.CListen carefully to the footsteps in the family home,and you can probably work out who is walking about.The features most commonly used to identify people are faces,voices and fingerprints.But the way they walk is also a giveaway.Researchers have used video cameras and computers to analyze people's gaits（步态），and are now quite good at it.But translating such knowledge into a practical identification system can be tricky.Cameras are often visible,are difficult to set up,require good lighting and may have their view blocked by other people.A team led by Dr.Ozanyan andDr.Scully have been looking for a better way to recognize gaits.Their answer：pressure-sensitive mats.Such mats are nothing new.They have been part of security systems.But Ozanyan and Scully use a complicated version that can record the amount of pressure applied indifferent places as someone walks across it.These measurements form a pattern unique to the walker.The researchers turned to an artificial-intelligence system to recognize such patterns,and it seemed to work.In a study in 2018，they tested the system on a database offootsteps of 127 people.They found its error rate in identifying who was who was a mere0.7%.And Scully says even without a database of footsteps to work with,the system candetermine someone's sex and,with reasonable accuracy,a subject's age.One application of the mat-based gait-recognition system might be in healthcare,particularly for the elderly.A mat placed in a nursing home or an old person's own residence could monitor changes in an individual's gait that indicates certainillnesses.That would provide early warning of someone being at greater risk of falling over.Gait analysis might also be used as a security measure in the workplace,monitoring access to restricted areas,such as parts of military bases,server farms or laboratories dealing with dangerous materials.Perhaps the most interesting use of the mats,though,would be inpublic places,such as airports.8.What is mainly talked about in Paragraph 2？______A. Research equipment.B. Research findings.C. Research assumption.D. Research background.9.According to Paragraph 3，the mat is used to ______ .A. collect dataB. ensure safetyC. determine ageD. analyse pressure10.The gait-recognition system might be applied to ______ .A. monitor security work progressB. detect potential health problemsC. keep track of travelling frequencyD. warn passengers of possible dangers11.What's the best title of the passage？______A. Listen to Your FootstepsB. Applaud Pattern RecognitionC. Love the Way You WalkD. Better the Mats You Step onDDo you take a fancy to Olaf,the snowman in the movie Frozen？You'll find an ancestor of Olaf when looking into many of history's cultural symbols.It appeared on some of the first postcards,starred in some of the earliest silent movies,and was the subject of a couple of the earliest photos,dating all the way back to the 1800s.I discovered even more about one of humanity's earliest forms of folk art during several years of research around the world.For example,snowmen were a phenomenon in the Middle Ages,built with great skill and thought.At a time of limited means of expression,snow was like free art supplies dropped from the sky.It was a popular activity for couples to leisurely walk through town to view the temporary works of chilly art.Some were created by famous artists,including a19-year-old Michelangelo,who in 1494 was appointed by the ruler of Florence,Italy,to build a snowman in his mansion's courtyard.The Miracle of 1511 took place during six freezing weeks called the Winter of Death.The city of Brussels was covered in snowmen-an impressive scene that told stories on every street comer.Some were political in nature,criticizing the church and government.Some were a reflection of people's imagination.For the people of Brussels,this was a defining moment of artistic freedom,at least until spring arrived,by which time they were dealing with damaging floods.If you fear the heyday of the snowman has passed,don't worry：I've learned that some explosive snowman history is still being made today.Every year since 1818，the people of Zurich,Switzerland,celebrate the beginning of spring by blowing up a snowman.On the third Monday of April,the holiday Sechselauten is kicked off when a cotton snowman called the Boogg is stuffed with explosive and paraded through town by bakers and other tradesmen who throw bread to the crowds.The parade ends with the Boogg being placed on a 40-foot pile of firewood.After the bells of the Church of St.Peter have rung sixtimes,representing the passing of winter,the pile is lit.When the snowman explodes,winter is considered officially over～the quicker it is burnt down,the longer summer is said to be.12.According to the passage,why did snowmen become a phenomenon in the Middle Ages？______A. People thought of snow as holy art supplies.B. People longed to see masterpieces of snow.C. Building snowmen was a way for people to express themselves.D. Building snowmen helped people develop their skill and thought.13."The heyday of the snowman" （Paragraph 4）probably means the time when ______ .A. snowmen were made mainly by artistsB. snowmen enjoyed great popularityC. snowmen were politically criticizedD. snowmen caused damaging floods14.In Zurich,the blowing up of the Boogg symbolizes ______ .A. the start of the paradeB. the coming of a longer summerC. the passing of the winterD. the success of tradesmen15.What can be concluded about snowmen from the passage？______A. They were appreciated in history.B. They have lost their value.C. They were related to movies.D. They vary in shape and size.二、阅读七选五（本大题共5小题，共10.0分）There are numerous benefits of reading good books. (1) Whatever your field might be,it's very important to create a good habit to read beyond your horizons.Here are tips to help you cultivate a better and consistent reading habit：●Determine your reading goal.

AOne day, when I was working as a psychologist（心理学家）in England, an adolescent boy showed up in my office. It was David. He kept walking up and down restlessly, his face pale, and his hands shaking slightly. His head teacher had referred him to me. “This bo y has lost his family,” he wrote. “He is understandably very sad and refuses to talk to others, and I’m very worried about him. Can you help?”I looked at David and showed him to a chair. How could I help him? There are problems psychology doesn’t have the answer to, and which no words can describe. Sometimes the best thing one can do is to listen openly and sympathetically（同情）The first two times we met, David didn’t say a word. He sat there, only looking up to look at the children’s drawings on the wall behind me. I suggested we play a game of chess. He nodded. After that he played chess with me every Wednesday afternoon---in plete silence and without looking at me. It’s not easy to cheat in chess, but I admit I made sure David won once or twice.Usually, he arrived earlier than agreed, took the chess board and pieces from the shelf and began setting them up before I even got a chance to sit down. It seemed as if he enjoyed my pany （陪伴）. But why did he never look at me?“Perhaps he simply needs someone to share his pain with,” I thought. “Perhaps he senses that I respect his suffering.” Some months later, when we were playing chess, he looked up at me suddenly.“It’s your tum,” he said.After that day, David started talking. He got friends in school and joined a bicycle club. He wrote to me a few times, about his biking with some friends, and about his plan to get intouniversity. Now he had really started to live his own life.Ma ybe I gave David something. But I also learned that one…without any words---can reach out to another person. All it takes is a hug, a shoulder to cry on, a friendly touch, and an ear that listens.21.

How many times did you brush your teeth yesterday?Finding: A full 33% of seniors brush their teeth only once a day.Step: Remove the 300 types of bacteria in your mouth each morning with a battery-operated toothbrush.

How often do you think about fighting germs?Finding: Seniors are not fighting germs as well as they should.Step: Do you know it is not your toilet but your kitchen sponge（海绵）that can carry more germs than anything else?

About four percent of the population is what scientists call “amusic”. People who are amusic are born without the ability to recognize or reproduce musical notes (音调). Amusic people often cannot tell the difference between two-songs. Amusics can only hear the difference between two notes if they are far apart on the musical scale.As a result, songs sound like noise to an amusic. Many amusics pare the sound of music topieces of metal hitting each other. Life can be hard for amusics. Their ability to enjoy music sets them apart from others. It can be difficult for other people to identify with their condition. In fact, most people cannot begin to grasp what it feels like to be amusic. Just going to a restaurant or a shopping mall can be unfortable or even painful. That is why many amusics intentionally（故意地）stay away from places where there is music. However, this can result in withdrawal and social isolation. “I used to hate parties,” says Margaret, a seventy-year-old woman who only recently discovered that she was amusic. By studying people like Margaret, scientists arc finally learning bow to identify this unusual condition.Scientists say that the brains of amusics are different from the brains of people who can appreciate music. The difference is plex, and it doesn’t involve defective hearing. Amusics can understand other nonmusical sounds well. They also have no problems understanding ordinary speech. Scientists pare amusics to people who just can’t sec certain colors.Many amusics are happy when their condition is finally diagnosed. For years. Margaret felt embarrassed about her problem with music. Now she knows that she is not alone. There is a name for her condition. That makes it easier for her to explain. “When people invite me to a concert, I just say, ‘No thanks. I’m amusic,’” says Margaret. “I just wish I had learned to say that when I was seventeen and not seventy.”29. Which of the following is true of amusics?A. They can easily tell two different songs apart.B. They love places where they are likely to hear music.C. Listening to music is not enjoyable for them.D. Their situation is well understood by musicians.30. According to paragraph 3, a person with “defective hearing” is probably one who ______ .A. dislikes listening to speechesB. can hear anything nonmusicalC. lacks a plex（复杂的）hearing systemD. has a bearing problem31. In the last paragraph, Margaret express her wish that ______ .A. her problem with music had been diagnosed（诊断）earlierB. she were seventeen years old rather than seventyC. her problem could be easily explainedD. she were able to meet other amusics32. What is the passage mainly concerned with?A. Amusics’ strange behaviors.B. Some people’s inability to enjoy music.C. Musical talent and brain structure.D. Identification and treatment of amusics.DAs a young girl growing up in the 1930s, I always wanted to fly a plane, but back then it was almost unheard of for a woman to do that. I got a taste of that dream in 2001, when my husband arranged for me to ride in a hot air balloon for my birthday. But the experience turned out to be very dull. Around that time, I told my husband that I wanted to skydive. So when our retirement munity announced that they were having an essay petition and the topic was an experience of a lifetime that you wanted to have, I decided to write about my dream.In the essay, I wrote about my desire to skydive, stating George Brush Sr. did age 80. Why not me? I was just 84 and in pretty good health. A year went by and I heard nothing. But then at a munity party in late April 2009, they announced that l was one of the winners. I just couldn’t believe it. Inspired by this, I decided to realize my dream, even though some of my family members and my doctor were against it.One June 11, 2009, nearly 40 of my family and friends gathered in the area close to where I would land while I headed up in the airplane. My instructor, Jay, guided me through the experience. The plane was the noisiest one I had ever been in, but I wasn’t frightened－I was really just looking forward to the experience. When we reached 13,000 feet, Jay instructed me to throw myself out of the plane. When we first hit the air, the wind was so strong that I could hardly breathe. For a second I thought, “What have I gotten myself into?”But then everything got calmer. We were in a free fall for about a minute before Jay opened the parachute （降落伞）, then we just floated downward for about five minutes. Being up in the clouds and looking at the view below was unlike anything I have ever felt－much better than the hot air balloon.I was just enjoying it.Skydiving was really one of the greatest experiences of my life. I hope other people will look at me and realize that you don’t stop living just because you are 84 ye ars old. If there’s something you want to experience, look into it. If it’s something that is possible, make it happen.33. What happened to the author in 2001?A. She flew an airplane.B. She went on a hot air balloon ride.C. She entered a petition.D. She moved into a retirement munity34. The author mentioned George Bush Sr. in her essay to .A. build up her own reputationB. show her admiration for himC. make her argument persuasiveD. pare their health condition35. How did the author feel immediately after she jumped out of the plane?A. Regretful.B. Scared.C. Nervous.D. Excited.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。
