ADear Daughter,As we drove off from Columbia University, I wanted to write a letter to you to tell you all that is on my mind.College will be the most important years in your life. It is in college that you will truly discover what learning is about. I encourage you to be inquisitive, but I also want to tell you: "Education is what you have left after all that is taught is forgotten." What I mean by that is the materials taught isn't as important as you gaining the ability to learn a new subject, and the ability to analyze a new problem. That is really what learning in college is about— this will be the period where you go from teacher-taught to master-inspired, after which you must become a self-learner. So do take each subject seriously, and even if what y ou learn isn't critical for your life, the skills of learning will be something you cherish forever,so do your best in classes and learn.Take care of yourself and follow your passion in college. Take courses you think you will enjoy. Don't be trapped in what others think or say.Most importantly, make friends and be happy. College friends are often the best in life. Pick a few friends and become really close to them —pick the ones who are genuine and sincere to you. People are not perfect, so as long as they are genuine and sincere, trust them and be good to them. They will give back. This is my secret of success— that I am genuine with people and tru st them (unless they do something to lose my trust).Please treasure your college years –make the best of your free time, become an independent thinker in control of your destiny, be bold to experiment, learn and grow through your successes and challenges. MayColumbia become the happiest four years in your life, and may you blossom into just what you dream to be.Love,Dad (& Mom)21. What can we learn from paragraph 2?A. Education is what you learn at school.B. Ability is more important than knowledge.C. Learning and analyzing are equally important.D. Colleges only focus on skills of learning.22. The writer thinks his daughter should_____________.A. ask for his advice on her choiceB. make a lot of friendsC. get along well with her friendsD. spare no effort to succeed23. According to the passage, the writer is a _________ father.A. wise and caringB. strict and warm-heartedC. generous and talentedD. diligent and successful24. Why does the father write this letter?A. To inform his daughter of college life.B. To show father’s love.C. To broaden his daughter’s mind..D. To guide his daughter.BAs the proverb goes, man struggles upwards; water flows downwards. Water runs downhill from mountaintops to streams, to rivers and to oceans. But downhill isn’t the only way that water moves. A new study measures how wat er travels from country to country for human consumption. This flow isn’t the type we usually think about.These scientists looked at the water used to grow and make the products which get shipped from nation to nation as imports or exports. They call this a flow of “virtual water”.We typically think about water as the liquid that flows from a tap. However,92%of the water used by people goes into growing crops, according to a water researcher Arjen Hoekstra. He recently studied the hidden travels of virtual water used in products made from things like crops and meats. These products are shipped around the world.For example, consider a sugary soft drink. Hoekstra estimated that to produce one half-liter of the drink requires between 170 and 310 liters of water—about 95%is used to grow and process the ingredients(原料).Another 4%goes into the packaging and labeling. In Hoekstra’s calculation, when one country produces a half-liter of soda and sells it abroad,it exports as much virtual water as would fill a large refrigerator.According to Hoekstra’s new report,dry countries like Israel and Kuwait,both in the Middle East, get the majority of their virtual water from other countries,through imported products. More surprisingly, some wetter countries,like the Netherlands and the United Kingdom, also get the majority of their virtual water from other places. That means that most of the water used to grow or produce the products and food consumed in those countries came from other countries.25. The proverb in Paragraph One is used to_________.A. inspire readers to struggle upwardB. tell a law of natureC. introduce the topic of the passageD. summarize the main idea of the passage26. In which countries does most part of virtual water come from outside? .A. The United Kingdom and ChinaB. America a nd IsraelC. The Netherlands and KuwaitD. The Netherlands and America27. What can be a suitable title for the passage?A. Benefits of Virtual WaterB. Hidden Uses of WaterC. Crops and Virtual WaterD. Water’s Worldwide Travels28. Where does the passage probably come from?A .A science news report. B. A newspaper advertisement.C. A book review.D. A science fiction story.CThough many Inter net celebrities try to shrug off their fame, Yan Mingliang, 27, has dreamed of joining the Internet elite(精英) ever since he entered college.However, luck didn’t favor him. Instead, fame fell into the lap of his pet dog, Beiji. In early 2015, Yan used his microblog to post two pictures of Beiji lying on the ground, and they went viral on social media. Because he took the photos at a strange angle, it almost looks like Beiji’s body has fallen apart.Finally, Yan got to experience what is like to be an Internet celebrity, or more accurately, the owner of an Internet celebrity dog. New followers started to flood in, and Yan received hundreds of private messages each day. In less than four weeks, Yan managed to attract more than 20,000 followers. “I am famous now.”Yan thought at that time.However, fame didn’t just bring joy, but also annoyance. Since Beiji was only 3 months old and Yan sometimes had to put him into a cage as a means of “education”, there were also private messages from followers who fiercely criticized Yan for being too cruel.“It gradually occurred to me that no matter how frankly you present yourself on social media, Internet users only witness part of your life. And their judgments depend on that partial life story of yours,” said Yan, “They don’t know how hard it is to raise a pet dog when you’re unemployed, Yan explained. They also don’t care about whether the dog they’re enjoying is being pushed too hard.”Yan finally decided to leave his Internet fame behind and focus more on his real life. “The lesson I learned is that, if you can’t live up to your followers’expectations, it’s better not to be an Internet celebrity,” he said.29. The underlined phrase “went viral” in Paragraph 2 probably means ______.A. were exposedB. became widely-spreadC. were criticizedD. became viruses30. Why did Yan become famous?A. Because his dog became famous.B. Because he posted two pictures on the Internet.C. Because he took a strange picture.D. Because he became an Internet celebrity.31. How did Yan probably feel at first when he realized he became well-known?A. puzzled and annoyedB. surprised and tiredC. disappointed and annoyedD. excited and joyful32. What can we infer from what Yan said in the last two paragraphs?A. It is hard to raise a pet dog.B. He isn’t fully understood on the Internet.C. He decided to stop making use of his microblog.D. Internet celebrities can’t satisfy their followers.DYou might think going to school during the summer is opposite to what summertime is all about. But for the thousands of Calgary kids with a true love of learning, there’s no better time to have fun with their education, while at the same time getting a rough idea of what their post-secondary future might hold.The University of Calgary, Mount Royal University and SAIT Polytechnic all offer summertime programs that give kids hands-on experience in the labs and other facilities they’l l be working in down the road.“Our bread and butter is Mini University PhD,” says Don McSwiney, spokesperson for U of C Summer Camps. “The idea is to give people a fun learning experience and a hands-on learning experience, which helps kids understand concepts better than learning in a book.” Mini University PhD gets kids into the labs and art studios of the U of C, where they take part in programs such as The Scientist, where they learn about topics like mapping DNA and creating volcanoes. Mini U programs dealing with art and sports are also being offered this year. Minds in Motion motivates kids to explore science, engineering and technology in a hands-on way.At Mount Royal, the MRU Kids program is marking its 20th anniversary. “We have about 18 different programs for children from 6 to 17.” says program administrator Maya Anderson. There's also the ConocoPhillips Youth Science Academy for ages 13 to 17,which focuses more on the academic -- those who want to go into science. More than 3,200 kids are expected to take part in MRU summer programs, which helps to keep kids engaged in learning through the summer in a fun way.SAIT Polytechnic has added more camps for the grades 4 to 6 range, and the list includes topics ranging from Sports Science and SCISpy, to Planet Protectors (energy, engineering, environment).“We focus on building self-confidence in our campers,” says Jaros. “Making them confident in their ability to learn and become reengaged in learning, without the pressure of school.”33. If a student wants to know how to map DNA, he should attend_________.A. MRU kidsB. The ScientistC. Minds in MotionD. Einstein’s Shampoo34. We can learn from the passage that_________.A. the campers have great fun in the summertime programsB. the summertime programs merely focus on hands-on learning coursesC. the program of sports has been offered for 20 yearsD. the summer campers are all confident of their future35. The purpose of the passage is __________.A. to show children’s great desire for knowledgeB. to complain students’ stressful life during the summertimeC. to persuade parents to send their children to more programs in universityD. to introduce summertime programs performed by three Calgary universities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。

sled crashed into the tree.I could hear my brothers running down the hill yelling,“Youhave to steer(操控)!Y0u have to steer!”Sadly,that wasn’t the last time I failed to steer when some obstacle knocked

the latest TV show to help people’s love for literature recover,CCTV program Readersinvites people from all walks of life to read aloud their favorite poems,essays and books,or evenpersonal letters they wrote to their loved ones.Just as the weekly show has been well-received,itsreading booths,equipped with professional recording devices and cameras,have become instanthits.A crowd of more than 200 people were pictured lining up outside the Shanghai Library at 11am on March 4一the first day of the booth’s opening to the public in Shanghai.The deadline forregistrations was brought forward to 2 pm instead of the scheduled 5:30 pm,as the number ofwaiting readers continued to grow.Some waited more than nine hours for a try-out in the booth,according to library management.“There is an old photo in the late 1970s capturing people lining up outside the ShanghaiLibrary before it opens.If that was a spring of reading in Shanghai,now I think another spring hasarrived again,”library manager Zhou Deming,told the Shanghai-based The Paper.The reading booth is the only one of its kind in the city of economic center at the moment,but more are expected to be put into use in the coming months,according to the library’s website.The Readers program has also led to booths in other cities including Beijing,Hangzhou,Guangzhou and Xi’an to appeal to more people to read and share their

end up healthier as adults.Scientists have known that close friendships help boost health.That’s true for both teens andadults.The finding inspired Joseph Allen,a psychologist at the University of Virginia,and histeam to study whether experiences during teen years would influence adult health.So they followed 171 teens,starting when the kids were just 13.They interviewed each oneevery year for five years,and also spoke to these teens’closest friends,who provided additionalinformation about the quality of their friendships.The same 171 people were interviewed again atages 25,26 and 27.This time,the questions surveyed each person’s overall health.When theresearchers analyzed the data they found a strong connection between a teen’s behavior and adulthealth.Teens who had close friends grew up to be the healthier adults.Whether teens held backtheir feelings or expressed them to a close friends also influenced later health.Those who heldback were more likely to be sick as adults.The connection held up even after the scientistsaccounted for other possible influences on health.Weight,family income and drug use were allexamined.So were mental health issues,such as anxiety and depression.And in these people,suchother factors did not explain adult health as wel l as teen friendships did.Going along with the crowd may have benefits,says Allen,but there are also drawbacks.Teens who are more independent tend to do better at schoo l and work.And peer pressure may leadsome kids to engage in risky behavior,such as smoking,drinking or using drugs.Dealing with it isan ongoing challenge,Allen acknowledges.“Finding the right balance is the key.Teens shouldn’tlose hean for not finding this easy.”And,he adds,“Parents need to be understanding about thepressures teens face.’’32.Where can you probably read this passage?A.Science fictionB.Health columnC.Fashion magazineD.Entertainment newspaper33.We can learn from Allen’s study that _______________.A.many other factors have a greater influence on adult health than teen friendshipsB.mental health issues have nothing to do with adult healthC.the same 171 teens were interviewed each year from 13 to 27D.the

crowdB.though it’s challenging for teens to deal with peer pressure,they should not give upC.teens will engage in smoking,drinking or using drugs when facing peer pressureD.parents should understand their teens and stop them going with friends35.What can be inferred from the passage?A.There is nothing bad for teens to follow the crowd.B.Close friendships are the most important for people’s health.C.Teen friendships may turn out healthier adults.D.Adult health iS only influenced by teen friendships.第二节 (共5小题;每小题2分,满分1 O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。

AFrom American Express, wedding guests will,on average,spend $673 on each wedding they attend this year. It includes airfare ($225), hotel ($170), dining out ($116) and dressing up ($95) and the gift. If you have weddings to attend this year, here are some tips for you to avoid breaking the bank.1. Book flights in advanceThe moment you decide to attend a wedding is the time tocheck flight prices at the best time. Plane fares are higher in the summer, especially in July and August. Booking in advance will save you money, as will watch for sales on lower-cost carriers like JetBlue and Frontier. You can check Google Flights for a calendar of prices showing the cheapest days to fly from apps like Hopper to get real-time alerts when a fare is at its lowest price point.2. Don't blow your budget on the giftIf you've got the money, an expensive gift is lovely. But there's no need to take out loans to prove your love for the happy couple. Skip an expensive necklace by giving (an appropriate amount of) cash instead. To save on the gift, consider making one: A photo album or scrapbook of memories with the bride and groom shows how much you care. You could also share the gift with other guest(s) or even make gifts with DIY ideas by yourself to save money.3. Use old dresses and suitsYou don't always have to be on a new dress for a wedding. While men have the option of repeating their suits, women are more likely to spend money on new clothes for the special occasion. But before you take out your wallet, consider reinventing something already in yourcloset. Belts, colorful scarves, shoes can bring life to any outfit.21. How much does a wedding guest spend on the gift on average?A. $673B. $225C. $67D. $9522. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A. People always wear their new clothes at the wedding.B. Men are more likely to wear new clothes to attend a wedding.C. It saves you money to creatively wear old clothes.D. Ladies tend to wear their favorite suits for a wedding.23. What is the purpose of the passage?A. To help people save money while holding their weddings.B. To give some tips on saving money to attend a wedding.C. To introduce general expenses of attending a wedding.D. To state some aspects to be considered while holding weddings.BIt had been a long winter. Bitter cold, snowy days had hit us again and again. On the warmer days there had been little sunshine, but only cold, icy rain. The sun had become such a rare sight that I had to look at a picture of it on my wall calendar from time to time to remember what it looked like. The grass had remained brown and dormant(潜伏的)in the grassland. My own backyard had turned into a muddy mess that tried to steal the shoes right off my feet as I walked on it. My heart ached and longed for spring, and my own good cheer had trouble rising up against the continuous, cold, gray days.The rain poured down on me as I walked my dogs, holding their leashes in my icy fingers. I looked up at the sky hoping to see the sun smiling down with its warm, golden face. But it was no use. It was then, however, that I saw it. It wasn’t the smiling face of the sun in the sky but a little, yellow face peeking(微露出) through the mud. It was a tiny flower, and it filled my heart with hope and joy. I smiled and thanked God for this little sign that winter would soon be over and that spring would arrive. I felt mygood cheer rising up at last and I promised God that I would share it with everyone I could.One day that tiny flower’s seeds will fill the grassland with little, yellow faces smiling up from the ground. Its work will make this world a better and more beautiful place. May we all do the same. May we all shine our light and share our love even on the coldest and grayest days. May we all help to share a bit of spring in winter. May we all work to make this world better and brighter even when it is at its darkest.24. Why did the author look at a picture of sun on a wall calendar from time to time?A. Because she hadn’t seen sunshine for a long time.B. Because she wanted to check how long the cold winter would last.C. B ecause she couldn’t go out.D. Because she looked forward to spring.25. The author felt _______ before she found the tiny flower.A. worriedB. angryC. hopefulD. frustrated26. What can be inferred from the passage?A. The tiny flo wer was found in the author’s backyard.B. The tiny flower inspired the author very much.C. The author would share the tiny flower with others.D. The author would never mind the cold weather.27. What can be the best title of the passage?A. A Cold WinterB. A Tiny flowerC. Sharing Makes the WorldD. Hopes Make Our LifeCChinese has overtaken French, Spanish and German to become one of the most promising foreign languages for job seekers in the UK. Research shows graduates in Chinese earn an average yearly salary of 31,000 pounds or more.Chinese students set themselves up for a different university experience from others who take traditional subjects. While an English student may have as little as six hours of a week, those studying Chinese are in class for most of t he day.“I had a lot of friends on other courses who didn’t do much in first or second year. You can’t play at Chinese. You have to spend hours and hours writing characters,” says Hannah, who graduated in Chinese Studies from Sheffield University.“The first year was really difficult. Most of my friends admitted at one point to crying because of the pressure. I was almost told at one point that I might want to reconsider and drop out.”So are the evenings in learning characters while your friends are at the student bar really worth it? Despite the painful studying experience, most of the graduates think so. They use Chinese in their chosen careers, and would not have been in the jobs they do now without their knowledge of the language.Liberty now works for the civil service in Beijing. She earned a place on the Department for International Development graduate scheme with a salary of over 30,000 pounds within two years.“The degree was absolutely worth it.Looking around at people I know who have studied French or Spanish at university, there’s not such a chance to use it in the workplace.”Hannah has set her apart in the workplace, but she warns ambitious students to think about whether they would reallywant to live in China in the future before setting their sights on a profitable career path. “Some people think they are going to learn Chinese and then be a big success, but I think it’s important to be quite realistic about that.”28. What does the underlined phrase “play at” probably mean in Paragraph 2?A. Treat seriouslyB. Learn lazilyC. Talk amusinglyD. Cheat cleverly29. What can you learn from Liberty’s and Hannah’s career experience?A. Chinese degree helped them to find satisfying jobs.B. There are students learning characters at the student bar.C. Graduates with French or Spanish degree have no chance to find jobs.D. By learning Chinese, people are to have a successful career.30. What’s Hannah’s a ttitude to choosing Chinese as a possible career?A. DoubtfulB. IndifferentC. PuzzledD. Objective31. What is the main idea of the text?A. Many foreign college students come to China to seek jobs.B. Some college students consider dropping out Chinese because of its pressure.C. Chinese is difficult and college students should be realistic about choosing it.D. Chinese degree needs painful working, but it is worthy injob seeking.DThe world's oceans are sick, and getting sicker every day. Two new studies show the warming of Earth's atmosphere is removing oxygen from ocean waters.Oxygen is necessary for all life in the oceans, except for a few extremely small organisms. And researchers said oxygen levels are low enough to threaten all the ocean life that depends on it.Denise Breitburg is an ocean scientist at the Smithsonian Environmental Research Center. She is also a member of the Global Ocean Oxygen Network, a team of scientists organized by the United Nations to study the issue. She told the Associated Press, "If you can't breathe, nothing else matters. That pretty much describes it ."Scientists with the Global Ocean Oxygen Network reported that more than 32 million square kilometers of ocean are low in oxygen. These affected areas reach a depth of about 200 meters. This area is bigger than Africa, the second largest continent. The scientists say the area of low oxygen levels has grown about 16 percent since 1950.The Global Ocean Oxygen Network's report is the widest reaching look at decreasing oxygen levels in the world's seas so far. Lisa Levin is a professor at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography and a co-author of the report. In her words, "The low oxygen problem is the biggest unknown climate change consequence out there."Levin said past research had shown low oxygen areas that were the result of agricultural pollution. She said past studies also showed how warmer waters had created a lack of oxygen. But Levin said this latest study shows how both problems areconnected by common causes and possible solutions.Co-author Denise Breitburg said that some low oxygen levels in the world's ocean are natural, but not to the extent found. Wind patterns and ocean currents, believed caused by global warming, are preventing oxygen from sinking below the surface of the water. In addition, warmer water does not hold as much oxygen and less oxygen mixes into the water, she said.32. Why are the world’s oceans sick?A. Because the ocean life is sick.B. Because the Earth’s atmosphere is becoming warmer.C. Because the oxygen is being removed from ocean waters.D. Because there is too much oxygen to threaten the ocean life.33. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 3 refer to?A. Oxygen being essential to ocean life.B. Oceans being sicker and sicker.C. Oxygen being not enough in the ocean.D. Atmosphere removing oxygen from ocean waters.34. About _______ million square kilometers of ocean are lack of oxygen in 1950.A. 32B. 27.6C. 37D. 20035. From the passage we can learn that_______.A. all life in the ocean depends on oxygen to liveB. oxygen levels in the ocean are likely to climbC. air pollution leads to low oxygen levels in oceansD. cold water holds more oxygen than warm water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。

AAre you seeking for some charming places in the world? Here are some destinations for youto explore.1.Basilicata, ItalyThis is a chance to visit Italy's southern region before the world catches on. Between theheel that is Puglia and the toe that is Calabria, you will find Basilicata, the arch (拱状物) of Italy'sfoot.Despite a storied and ancient past, the region has been overlooked in modern times. EasilyItaly's best-kept secret, Basilicata is reserved for beautiful beaches and ancient towns. In 2019,the town of Matera, a UNESCO site, will host the European Capital of Culture. It is also knownfor its ancientcaves - once used for livestock, later as primitive homes, and today, as privateresidences or hotels beautifully restored.2.IcelandIs Iceland appealing? Absolutely for luxury travellers seekingover-the-top,only-in- Icelandexperiences. High-end properties are money-consuming, from Edition Hotel opening in 2018 inReykjavik to the super-private Trophy Lodge.An advanced hot-springs, the Retreat at Blue Lagoon Iceland, is set to open in May 2019 atthe Blue Lagoon. And on the remote northern Troll Peninsula, Deplar Farm is a former sheepfarm where adventurers can fly-fish and helicopter.3.Top End, AustraliaAustralia's remote Top End-the northernmost section of the Northern Territoryisexperiencing an upgrade of tourism to its aboriginal communities, the world's oldest civilizations,according to 2017 DNA analysis.The region's small cities--Darwin, Palmerston, Katherine are seeing new markets andaboriginal centers, giving visitors a perfect place to appreciate the vast region's diverse cultures.4.Seattle, WashingtonSeattle takes a bold turn in 2019, not ltting you down with a high budget. Multiyearreconstructions at the Space Needle are underway, including a restaurant complete with aspinning glass floor scheduled to open this spring.Downtown, tours of the huge NBBJ-designed Amazon Spheres filled with hundreds ofplant species begin in early 2019,which will see the opening of the Pacific Northwest's largest hotel, the 45-story Hyatt Regency Seattle.21.What can you know about Basilicata, I taly?A.It is located in top end of southern I taly.B.It is an ancient region without many tourists.C.There are beautiful beaches and ancient hotels.D.There are livestock in the ancient caves22.What might travellers do in Iceland?A.They can enjoy an advanced hot-springs.B.They can visit a sheep farm.C.They can take a helicopter.D.They can appreciate the diverse cultures.23.Which places might cost you much money?A.Basilicata, Italy and IcelandB.Basilicata, Italy and Top End, AustraliaC.Top End, Australia and Seattle, WashingtonD.Iceland and Seattle, WashingtonBHumans and elephants don't always get along. In Africa and Asia, elephants damageinfrastructure, farmers' crops, and natural habitat important for other species. If an elephantbecomes a problem, humans may kill it. So local people and conservationists are trying to findbetter ways to keep elephants away from sensitive places. Now, researchers think they have agood tool to prevent elephants: honeybee pheromones(信息素)."Elephants dislike being stung in the trunk, so it's an extremely sensitive organ. Imaginebeing stung in your nose by a bee, and multiply that a few thousand times." said Mark Wright, aprofessor of entomology at the University of Hawai at Manoa.Kenyan farmers have long known that if they hang live beehives(蜂箱) around their farms,they will drive elephants away. "The problem is how to manage hundreds of thousands of hives,if you have a huge area to protect. And then the idea came up t8 look at the alarm pheromones,which are chemicals that the bees release to launch an attack on something that's damaging thehive."So the researchers tested out an artificial mixture of chemicals that imitates honeybees'alarm pheromones. In Greater Kruger National Pa rk in South Africa, the team hung white sockstreated with the artificial mixture as well as untreated control socks around an elephant wateringhole, and then observed the animals' behavior. "Elephants are really curious creatures. They'llwalk along andsee something like a sock hanging on a branch in the environment, and they'llinspect it, and if it's not treated with the alarm pheromones, they'll pick it up, throw it around,and try to taste it, things like that. And in the case of the treated ones, we found that they wouldshow immediate signs of unease or uncertainty, and they'd eventually back off from them. Veryseldom would they go pick them up and play with them." The study is in the journal CurrentBiology.In order to avoid the elephants more effectively, the researchers plan to make the pheromonemixture purer. That way, these remarkable animals will stay far away from wherever they shouldnot be going- -and both elephants and humans can coexist a bit more peacefully.24.What can we infer from the underlined words in Paragraph 2?A.Bees enjoy stinging elephants.B.Elephants' trunk is a sensitive organ.C.Your nose is frequently stung by bees.D.Being stung in the trunk is unbearable to elephants.25.Why didn't the researchers hang live beehives to keep elephants away from crops?A.Because it's of no use to elephants.B.Because it's impractical.C.Because elephants like the taste of honey.D.Beca use they prefer to invent new c hemicals.26.Paragraph 4 mainly tells usA.how to imitate honeybee alarm pheromonesB.elephants' reaction to the white socksC.how the experiment was carried outD.why the team hung two different white socks27.The research was aimed atA.bettering the relation between humans and elephantsB.cutting down the number of elephantsC.preventing elephants from damaging cropsD.protecting elephantsCProducts with“Made in China”" on them have become an important part of the world asChina is gradually taking the globe with its incredible manufacturing industry. Though Chineseproducts have already got rid of the image of low quality, there are still many foreigners whoconsider them cheap, low-end and copycat and claim that they will never buy one.However, a recent Japanese TV show which conducted a survey on Chinese products hasastonished those who looked down upon Chinese manufacturing. The TV show did a test: Clearall the China-made products from a Japanese household. Four hours later, 619 pieces of Chinese products were removed, and even the clothes of the house owner had to be taken off. Not only in Japan, but also in the us people are seeing the same change. The US writerSara Bongiorn who published a book titled Without MADE IN CIIINA a decade ago alsoconducted a similar experiment to measure the impact of globalization on ordinary Americans.She decided not to buy any products made in China for a year, At first, she was pretty positiveabout her decision, believing she could find substitutes from other countries. But she laterproved herself wrong.Avoiding Chinese products on purpose, Bongiorn could only choose ltalian-made sneakersfor her children at the price of $68 per pair, while the Chinese ones were only $I0. Once shetried to buy a candle for her husband's birthday, but failed to find one that was not made inChina at six stores.At last, Bongiorn concluded in her book that "Made in China" products are inseparable toAmerican society, since the inconveniences of living without them are a huge cost.US President Donald Trump has won lots of support for his slogan "Make America GreatAgain" and for his“Buy American, Hire American" advertisements during his campaign.However, the hats, clothes, and flags printed with the slogans that were used for the campaignwere all made in China.Today, with the arising awareness of brands and improving demand for quality,“Made inChina”has gradually shaken off the label of cheap, copycat products, and is winning areputationfor competence.28.What can we know from the first paragraph?A.Products made in China sell best in the world.B.The quality of Chinese products still has a long way to go.C.Many foreigners still look down upon Chinese products.D.Chinese products are popular because they are cheap.29.From Sara Bongiorn's experiment, we can learn she,A.refused any Chinese products for their poor qualitycked confidence at the beginning of the experimentC.gave up doing the experiment because it was much too expensiveD.came to believe American society can't go without Chinese products30.What is the purpose of using Donald Trump's campaign as an example?A.To support the idea that Chinese products are winning the market.B.To show that Donald Trump knew how to win people's heart.C.To explain why American people refuse Chi nese products.D.To show that America is in a trade war with China.31.In which of the following magazines can you most likely find this article?A.Reader's DigestB.Business ExplorationC.Green ChinaD.National GeographicD“The first year was a bit like the first year of a marriage--but with 25 people rather than justone." That is how Jude Tisdall describes joining a co-housing development built for women over50. Tisdall, an arts consultant in her early 60s, moved into the New Ground Complex in northLondon just over a year ago.Tisdall was lucky to secure one of the 26 apartments in the development. Its L-shapeddesign, with a single entrance that takes residents past the common room, is intended to fostercasual social interaction, and there is a communal garden and space to cook and share mealstogether. Residents are aged between 50 and 90.The development is managed by the Older Women's Co-housing community, set up tobring the principle of co-housing communities established in Germany, Denmark, theNetherlands and the UK.“There are not many options for the old in the UK," says Maria Brenton, a foundingmember.“One third of over 65s live on their own, which causes loneliness and ill health, andtwo thirds of those are older women. Older people I have researched don't want to live ininstitutions like a care home. And they often say they don't want to end up like their parents-- isolated and lonely."With the world's population getting older and more urban, the needs of older residents willplay an increasingly important part in the shaping of cities. According to UN figures, the numberof over 60s is set to double by 2050. All cities will need to adapt to meeting this massivedemographic change.Currently more than 700 cities in 39 countries are signed up for the World HealthOrganization's global network of age friendly cities and communities to promote healthy ageingand improve the quality of life for people over 60.32.How did Tisdall feel about joining the co-housing development ?A.DisappointedB.UncomfortableC.HappyD.Relaxed33.What's the purpose of the apartments' special design?A.To make the apartments more secure.B.To emphasize its unique appearance.C.To keep residents' free of anxiety.D.To promote residents' communication.34.What can we know about the co-housing develo pment?A.It is only acce ssible to people over 60.B.It differs from a care home.C.It's first established in the UK.D.It's in the charge of Maria Brenton.35.The underlined word in Paragraph 5 is probably related to_A.controlling systemmunity developmentC.population groupD.health state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。

广东省惠州市2016届高三4月模拟考试英语试题 含解析 精品

2016年广东省惠州市高考英语模拟试卷(4月份)一、阅读理解(共两节,满分30分)第一节(共4小题;每小题8分,满分30分)阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑.21.Dear Daughter,As we drove off from Columbia University,I wanted to write a letter to you to tell you all that is on my mind.College will be the most important years in your life.It is in college that you will truly discover what learning is about.I encourage you to be inquisitive,but I also want to tell you:"Education is what you have left after all that is taught is forgotten."What I mean by that is the materials taught isn't as important as you gaining the ability to learn a new subject,and the ability to analyze a new problem.That is really what learning in college is about﹣this will be the period where you go from teacher﹣taught to master﹣inspired,after which you must become a self﹣learner.So do take each subject seriously,and even if what you learn isn't critical for your life,the skills of learning will be something you cherish forever,so do your best in classes and learn.Take care of yourself and follow your passion in college.Take courses you think you will enjoy.Don't be trapped in what others think or say.Most importantly,make friends and be happy.College friends are often the best in life.Pick a few friends and become really close to them﹣pick the ones who are genuine and sincere to you.People are not perfect,so as long as they are genuine and sincere,trust them and be good to them.They will give back.This is my secret of success﹣that I am genuine with people and trust them (unless they do something to lose my trust).Please treasure your college years﹣make the best of your free time,become an independent thinker in control of your destiny,be bold to experiment,learn and grow through your successes and challenges.May Columbia become the happiestfour years in your life,and may you blossom into just what you dream to be.Love,Dad (Mom)21.What can we learn from paragraph 2?A.Education is what you learn at school.B.Ability is more important than knowledge.C.Learning and analyzing are equally important.D.Colleges only focus on skills of learning.22.The writer thinks his daughter should.A.ask for his advice on her choiceB.make a lot of friendsC.get along well with her friendsD.spare no effort to succeed23.According to the passage,the writer is a father.A.wise and caringB.strict and warm﹣heartedC.generous and talentedD.diligent and successful24.Why does the father write this letter?A.To inform his daughter of college life.B.To show father's love.C.To broaden his daughter's mind..D.To guide his daughter.25.As the proverb goes,man struggles upwards;water flows downwards.Water runs downhill from mountaintops to streams,to rivers and to oceans.But downhill isn't the only way that water moves.A new study measures how water travels from country to country for human consumption.This flow isn't the type we usually think about.These scientists looked at the water used to grow and make the products which get shipped from nation to nation as imports or exports.They call this a flowof"virtual water".We typically think about water as the liquid that flows from a tap.However,92%of the water used by people goes into growing crops,according to a water researcher Arjen Hoekstra.He recently studied the hidden travels of virtual water used in products made from things like crops and meats.These products are shipped around the world.For example,consider a sugary soft drink.Hoekstra estimated that to produce one half﹣liter of the drink requires between 170and 310liters of water﹣about 95% is used to grow and process the ingredients(原料).Another 4% goes into the packaging and labeling.In Hoekstra's calculation,when one country produces a half ﹣liter of soda and sells it abroad,it exports as much virtual water as would fill a large refrigerator.According to Hoekstra's new report,dry countries like Israel and Kuwait,both in the Middle East,get the majority of their virtual water from other countries,through imported products.More surprisingly,some wetter countries,like the Netherlands and the United Kingdom,also get the majority of their virtual water from other places.That means that most of the water used to grow or produce the products and food consumed in those countries came from other countries.25.The proverb in Paragraph One is used to.A.inspire readers to struggle upwardB.tell a law of natureC.introduce the topic of the passageD.summarize the main idea of the passage26.In which countries does most part of virtual water come from outside?.A.The United Kingdom and ChinaB.America and IsraelC.The Netherlands and KuwaitD.The Netherlands and America27.What can be a suitable title for the passage?A.Benefits of Virtual WaterB.Hidden Uses of WaterC.Crops and Virtual WaterD.Water's Worldwide Travels28.Where does the passage probably come from?A.A science news report.B.A newspaper advertisement.C.A book review.D.A science fiction story.29.Though many Internet celebrities try to shrug off their fame,Yan Mingliang,27,has dreamed of joining the Internet elite(精英)ever since he entered college.However,luck didn't favor him.Instead,fame fell into the lap of his pet dog,Beiji.In early 2015,Yan used his microblog to post two pictures of Beiji lying on the ground,and they went viral on social media.Because he took the photos at a strange angle,it almost looks like Beiji's body has fallen apart.Finally,Yan got to experience what is like to be an Internet celebrity,or more accurately,the owner of an Internet celebrity dog.New followers started to flood in,and Yan received hundreds of private messages each day.In less than four weeks,Yan managed to attract more than 20,000followers."I am famous now."Yan thought at that time.However,fame didn't just bring joy,but also annoyance.Since Beiji was only 3months old and Yan sometimes had to put him into a cage as a means of"education",there were also private messages from followers who fiercely criticized Yan for being too cruel."It gradually occurred to me that no matter how frankly you present yourself on social media,Internet users only witness part of your life.And their judgments depend on that partial life story of yours,"said Yan,"They don't know how hard it is to raise a pet dog when you're unemployed,Yan explained.They also don't careabout whether the dog they're enjoying is being pushed too hard."Yan finally decided to leave his Internet fame behind and focus more on his real life."The lesson I learned is that,if you can't live up to your followers'expectations,it's better not to be an Internet celebrity,"he said.29.The underlined phrase"went viral"in Paragraph 2probably means.A.were exposedB.became widely﹣spreadC.were criticizedD.became viruses30.Why did Yan become famous?A.Because his dog became famous.B.Because he posted two pictures on the Internet.C.Because he took a strange picture.D.Because he became an Internet celebrity.31.How did Yan probably feel at first when he realized he became well﹣known?A.puzzled and annoyedB.surprised and tiredC.disappointed and annoyedD.excited and joyful32.What can we infer from what Yan said in the last two paragraphs?A.It is hard to raise a pet dog.B.He isn't fully understood on the Internet.C.He decided to stop making use of his microblog.D.Internet celebrities can't satisfy their followers.33.You might think going to school during the summer is opposite to what summertime is all about.But for the thousands of Calgary kids with a true love of learning,there's no better time to have fun with their education,while at the same time getting a rough idea of what their post﹣secondary future might hold.The University of Calgary,Mount Royal University and SAIT Polytechnic all offer summertime programs that give kids hands﹣on experience in the labs and other facilities they'll be working in down the road."Our bread and butter is Mini University PhD,"says Don McSwiney,spokesperson for U of C Summer Camps."The idea is to give people a fun learning experience and a hands﹣on learning experience,which helps kids understand concepts better than learning in a book."Mini University PhD gets kids into the labs and art studios of the U of C,where they take part in programs such as The Scientist,where they learn about topics like mapping DNA and creating volcanoes.Mini U programs dealing with art and sports are also being offered this year.Minds in Motion motivates kids to explore science,engineering and technology in a hands﹣on way.At Mount Royal,the MRU Kids program is marking its 20th anniversary."We have about 18different programs for children from 6to 17."says program administrator Maya Anderson.There's also the ConocoPhillips Youth Science Academy for ages 13to 17,which focuses more on the academic﹣﹣those who want to go into science.More than 3,200kids are expected to take part in MRU summer programs,which helps to keep kids engaged in learning through the summer in a fun way.SAIT Polytechnic has added more camps for the grades 4to 6range,and the list includes topics ranging from Sports Science and SCISpy,to Planet Protectors (energy,engineering,environment)."We focus on building self﹣confidence in our campers,"says Jaros."Making them confident in their ability to learn and become reengaged in learning,without the pressure of school."33.If a student wants to know how to map DNA,he should attend.A.MRU kids B.The Scientist C.Minds in Motion D.Einstein's Shampoo 34.We can learn from the passage that.A.the campers have great fun in the summertime programsB.the summertime programs merely focus on hands﹣on learning coursesC.the program of sports has been offered for 20yearsD.the summer campers are all confident of their future35.The purpose of the passage is.A.to show children's great desire for knowledgeB.to complain students'stressful life during the summertimeC.to persuade parents to send their children to more programs in universityD.to introduce summertime programs performed by three Calgary universities.二、(共1小题;每小题10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.选项中有两项为多余选项.36.Surprising ways to beat stressWe all have times when we feel like we're under too much pressure.Many things strike us beyond our control.With an annoying mix of late trains,missed appointments and work deadlines,many of us are living in a constant state of stress.Experts warn,our modern lifestyles mean that stress is almost continuous,and comes without the natural release that either fighting or fleeing might provide.(36)Conditions vary from mood swings to anxiety,irritability,nervousness and tiredness.In extreme cases,it can even cause headaches,muscle cramps,and digestive problems.But there are a number of things we can do to manage the symptoms.•(37)Balancing blood sugar is essential in lowering stress.To maintain its level,you can try to have one small meal every two﹣to﹣three hours that contains protein,for example,breakfast,lunch and dinner plus a mid﹣morning and mid﹣afternoon snack.In this case,your blood sugar will be steady.(38)•Laugh as you like(39)Many studies show that laughter boosts our energy,decreases stress hormones,improves immunity and lessens pains.Try to find humour in life and engage in activities that make you laugh.Don't feel guilty about doing what you love.It will work its magic in your body.•Schedule your work out timingIt could be the time,rather than the way that determines how effective your workouts would be.(40)Do energy﹣forming exercises like running or aerobics(有氧运动)in the morning,and milder activities in the evening.Try a walk at the end of the day to calm your mind and stretch your muscles.A.Adapt your exercise routine to the biological clock.B.Eat little and often.C.These things are activated by laughing.D.So will your mood swings.E.Living with

is the materials taught isn't as important as you gaining the ability to learn a new subject,and the ability to analyze a new problem.That is really what learning in college is about﹣this will be the

the proverb goes,man struggles upwards;water flows downwards.Water runs downhill from mountaintops to streams,to rivers and to oceans.But downhill isn't the only way that water moves.A new study

proverb goes是正如谚语所说的意思,因此proverb介绍了这篇文章的主题;故选C.26.C.细节理解题.根据文章最后一段"dry countries like Israel and Kuwait,both in the Middle East,get the majority of their virtual water from other countries"和"like the

ADear Daughter,As we drove off from Columbia University, I wanted to write a letter to you to tell you all that is on my mind.College will be the most important years in your life. It is in college that you will truly discover what learning is about. I encourage you to be inquisitive, but I also want to tell you: "Education is what you have left after all that is taught is forgotten." What I mean by that is the materials taught isn't as important as you gaining the ability to learn a new subject, and the ability to analyze a new problem. That is really what learning in college is about—this will be the period where you go from teacher-taught to master-inspired, after which you must become a self-learner. So do take each subject seriously, and even if what y ou learn isn't critical for your life, the skills of learning will be something you cherish forever,so do your best in classes and learn.Take care of yourself and follow your passion in college. Take courses you think you will enjoy. Don't be trapped in what others think or say.Most importantly, make friends and be happy. College friends are often the best in life. Pick a few friends and become really close to them —pick the ones who are genuine and sincere to you. People are not perfect, so as long as they are genuine and sincere, trust them and be good to them. They will give back. This is my secret of success— that I am genuine with people and tru st them (unless they do something to lose my trust).Please treasure your college years – make the best of your free time, become anindependent thinker in control of your destiny, be bold to experiment, learn and grow through your successes and challenges. May Columbia become the happiest four years in your life, and may you blossom into just what you dream to be.Love,Dad (& Mom)21. What can we learn from paragraph 2?A. Education is what you learn at school.B. Ability is more important than knowledge.C. Learning and analyzing are equally important.D. Colleges only focus on skills of learning.22. The writer thinks his daughter should_____________.A. ask for his advice on her choiceB. make a lot of friendsC. get along well with her friendsD. spare no effort to succeed23. According to the passage, the writer is a _________ father.A. wise and caringB. strict and warm-heartedC. generous and talentedD. diligent and successful24. Why does the father write this letter?A. To inform his daughter of college life.B. To show father’s love.C. To broaden his daughter’s mind..D. To guide his daughter.BAs the proverb goes, man struggles upwards; water flows downwards.Water runs downhill from mountaintops to streams, to rivers and to oceans. But downhill isn’t the only way that water moves. A new study measures how water travels from country to country for human consumption. This flow isn’t the type we usu ally think about.These scientists looked at the water used to grow and make the products which get shipped from nation to nation as imports or exports. They call this a flow of “virtual water”.We typically think about water as the liquid that flows from a tap. However,92%of the water used by people goes into growing crops, according to a water researcher Arjen Hoekstra. He recently studied the hidden travels of virtual water used in products made from things like crops and meats. These products are shipped around the world.For example, consider a sugary soft drink. Hoekstra estimated that to produce one half-liter of the drink requires between 170 and 310 liters of water—about 95% is used to grow and process the ingredients(原料).Another 4% goes into the packaging and labeling. In Hoekstra’s calculation, when one country produces a half-liter of soda and sells it abroad,it exports as much virtual water as would fill a large refrigerator.According to Hoekstra’s new report,dry countries like Israel and Kuwait,both in the Middle East, get the majority of their virtual water from other countries,through imported products. More surprisingly, some wetter countries,like the Netherlands and the United Kingdom, also get the majority of their virtual water from other places. That means that most of the water used to grow or produce the products and food consumed in those countriescame from other countries.25. The proverb in Paragraph One is used to_________.A. inspire readers to struggle upwardB. tell a law of natureC. introduce the topic of the passageD. summarize the main idea of the passage26. In which countries does most part of virtual water come from outside? .A. The United Kingdom and ChinaB. America a nd IsraelC. The Netherlands and KuwaitD. The Netherlands and America27. What can be a suitable title for the passage?A. Benefits of Virtual WaterB. Hidden Uses of WaterC. Crops and Virtual WaterD. Water’s Worldwide Travels28. Where does the passage probably come from?A .A science news report. B. A newspaper advertisement.C. A book review.D. A science fiction story.CThough many Inter net celebrities try to shrug off their fame, Yan Mingliang, 27, has dreamed of joining the Internet elite(精英) ever since he entered college.However, luck didn’t favor him. Instead, fame fell into the lap of his pet dog, Beiji. In early 2015, Yan used his microblog to post two pictures of Beiji lying on the ground, and they went viral on social media. Because he took the photos at a strange angle, it almost looks like Beiji’s body has fallen apart.Finally, Yan got to experience what is like to be an Internet celebrity, or more accurately, the owner of an Internet celebrity dog. New followers started to flood in, and Yan received hundreds of private messages each day. In less than four weeks, Yan managed to attract more than 20,000 followers. “I am famous now.” Yan thought at that time.However, fame didn’t just bring joy, but also annoyance. Since Beiji was only 3 months old and Yan sometimes had to put him into a cage as a means of “education”, there were also private messages from followers who fiercely criticized Yan for being too cruel.“It gradually occurred to me that no matter how frankly you present yourself on social media, Internet users only witness part of your life.

The underlined phrase “went viral” in Paragraph 2 probably means ______.A. were exposedB. became widely-spreadC. were criticizedD. became viruses30. Why did Yan become famous?A. Because his dog became famous.B. Because he posted two pictures on the Internet.C. Because he took a strange picture.D. Because he became an Internet celebrity.31. How did Yan probably feel at first when he realized he became well-known?A. puzzled and annoyedB. surprised and tiredC. disappointed and annoyedD. excited and joyful32. What can we infer from what Yan said in the last two paragraphs?A. It is hard to raise a pet dog.B. He isn’t fully understood on the Internet.C. He decided to stop making use of his microblog.D. Internet celebrities can’t satisfy their followers.DYou might think going to school during the summer is opposite to what summertime is all about. But for the thousands of Calgary kids with a true love of learning, there’s no better time to have fun with their education, while at the same time getting a rough idea of what their post-secondary future might hold.The University of Calgary, Mount Royal University and SAIT Polytechnic all offer summertime programs that give kids hands-on experience in the labs and other facilities they’l l be working in down the road.“Our bread and butter is Mini University PhD,” says Don McSwiney, spokesperson for U of C Summer Camps. “The idea is to give people a fun learning experience and a hands-on learning experience, which helps kids understand concepts better than learning i n a book.”Mini University PhD gets kids into the labs and art studios of the U of C, where they take part in programs such as The Scientist, where they learn about topics like mapping DNA and creating volcanoes. Mini U programs dealing with art and sports are also being offered this year. Minds in Motion motivates kids to explore science, engineering and technology in a hands-on way.At Mount Royal, the MRU Kids program is marking its 20th anniversary. “We have about 18 different programs for children fro m 6 to 17.” says program administrator Maya Anderson. There's also the ConocoPhillips Youth Science Academy for ages 13 to 17,which focuses more on the academic -- those who want to go into science. More than 3,200 kids are expected to take part in MRU summer programs, which helps to keep kids engaged in learning through the summer in a fun way.SAIT Polytechnic has added more camps for the grades 4 to 6 range, and the list includes topics ranging from Sports Science and SCISpy, to Planet Protectors (energy, engineering, environment).“We focus on building self-confidence in our campers,” says Jaros. “Making them confident in their ability to learn and become reengaged in learning, without the pressureof school.”33. If a student wants to know how to map DNA, he should attend_________.A. MRU kidsB. The ScientistC. Minds in MotionD. Einstein’s Shampoo34. We can learn from the passage that_________.A. the campers have great fun in the summertime programsB. the summertime programs merely focus on hands-on learning coursesC. the program of sports has been offered for 20 yearsD. the summer campers are all confident of their future35. The purpose of the passage is __________.A. to show children’s great desire for knowledgeB. to complain stu dents’ stressful life during the summertimeC. to persuade parents to send their children to more programs in universityD. to introduce summertime programs performed by three Calgary universities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。

【广东省惠州市】2017届高三第一次模拟(4月)考试英语试卷及答案解析

广东省惠州市2017届高三第一次模拟(4月)考试英语试卷第Ⅰ卷第二部分阅读理解(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,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑.AArtificial intelligence, or AI, has been applied in a wide range of fields to perform specific tasks, including education, finance, heavy industry, transportation, and so on.EducationThere are a number of companies that create robots to teach subjects to children ranging from biology to computer science, though such tools have not become widespread yet. Advancements in natural language processing, combined with machine learning, have also enabled automatic grading of assignments. AI has also led to an explosion in popularity of MOOCs, or Massive Open Online Courses, which allows students from around the world to take classes online.FinanceUse of AI in banking can be tracked back to 1987. Banks use artificial intelligence systems to organize operations, maintain book-keeping, invest in stocks, and manage properties. Also, systems are being developed, like Arria, to translate complex data into simple and personable language. There are also wallets, like Wallet AI, which monitor an individual’s spending habits and provides ways to improve them.Heavy industryRobots have become common in many industries and are often given jobs that are considered dangerous to humans. Robots have proven effective in jobs that are very repetitive which may lead to mistakes or accidents due to failure in concentration and other jobs which humans may find degrading.TransportationToday's cars can have AI-based driver assist features such as self-parking and advanced cruise controls. AI in transportation is expected to provide safe, efficient, and reliable transportation while minimizing the impact on the environment and communities.Toys and gamesCompanies like Mattel have been creating AI-enabled toys for kids as young as age three. Using proprietary AI engines and speech recognition tools, they are able to understand conversations, give intelligent responses and learn quickly. AI has also been applied to video games, for example video game bots, which are designed to stand in as opponents where humans aren't available or desired.21.Which is true about AI and education? _______A.Robots have been widely used to teach children.B.AI has been used to grade students’ homework.C.AI has enabled more students to receive education at school.D.Education was the first field where AI was used.22.Which can be inferred from the passage? _______A.Arria can help people understand complex data.B.Wallet AI can help people make more money.C.Robots’ jobs are considered dangerous to humansD.Robots can help people concentrate.23.From the last two paragraphs we can know that _______.A.Today’s drivers needn’t learn to park their carsB.AI ensures safe, efficient, and reliable transportationC.AI-enabled toys is designed to improve kids’ intelligenceD.Video game bots can fight against you in video games24.What is the passage mainly about? _______A.The latest progress in AI.B.AI is of great use.C.Some applications of AI.D.AI is used in all fields.BWhen I was a boy we used to live across the road from a big hill with huge oak trees growing out of it. When winter arrived, thick, heavy snow would fall, and my two brothers would grab their sleds heading over to the hill for a day of fun. I remember watching them with envy because I was still too small to go sledding. Finally, one winter I was considered big enough and joined my brothers as they carried their sleds up the long hill and prepared to ride down it.The first few trips I rode with one of my brothers and had the time of my life. It was so exhilarating when the wind whipped across my face as I flew down the hillside on the wooden sled. Near the end of the day I was overjoyed too when my oldest brother decided to let me try riding the sled all by myself. I climbed on it full of excitement and lay on my stomach. Then with one big push my brother sent me down the snowy hillside. I was doing pretty well too until I hit an old stump hidden by the snow and went off course, straight towards one of those big oak trees. My heart pounded in my chest and I could hear myself screaming. At the last possible second I rolled off and the sled crashed into the tree. I could hear my brothers running down the hill yelling, “You have to steer(操控)! You have to steer!”Sadly, that wasn’t the last time I failed to steer when some obstacle knocked me off course in my life. Many times problems, troubles, and my own failures have sent me crashing into the trees of anger, frustration, and despair.I am still learning that life isn’t always safe sledding. I am still learning that it is up to me to steer myself back to love, back to kindness, back to goodness, and back to God.Life is a trip, but no one ever said it was a smooth ride. Steer well then. Steer straight. Steer your soul towards the light and the love we are all meant for.25.What do we know about the author when he was very young? _______A.He lived on a big hill with huge oak trees on it.B.He was frightened to go sledding with his brothers.C.He longed to go sledding with his brothers.D.He carried his brothers’ sleds as they went sledding.26.Which of the following can replace the underlined word “exhilarating” in Paragraph 2? _______ A.delightfulB.TerrifyingC.ordinaryD.violent27.Why did the author fall off his sled? _______A.Because his sled crashed in an oak tree.B.Because he lost control of his sled.C.Because his brother pushed it so hard.D.Because the hillside was snowy.28.What does the author mean to tell us?A.Losing control of a sled can be dangerous.B.Courage and determination can change one’s life.C.Life can be controlled by one himself.D.Life is a mystery full of coincidences.CThe popular TV program Readers has prompted more people in China to practice reading aloud in booths(亭)set up in big cities across the country.As the latest TV show to help people's love for literature recover, CCTV program Readers invites people from all walks of life to read aloud their favorite poems, essays and books, or even personal letters they wrote to their loved ones. Just as the weekly show has been well-received, its reading booths, equipped with professional recording devices and cameras, have become instant hits.A crowd of more than 200 people were pictured lining up outside the Shanghai Library at 11am on March 4–the first day of the booth's opening to the public in Shanghai. The deadline for registrations was brought forward to 2pm instead of the scheduled 5:30 pm, as the number of waiting readers continued to grow. Some waited more than nine hours for a try-out in the booth, according to library management.“There is an old photo in the late 1970s capturing people lining up outside the Shanghai Library before it opens. If that was a spring of reading in Shanghai, now I think another spring has arrived again,” library manager Zhou Deming, told the Shanghai-based The Paper.The reading booth is the only one of its kind in the city of economic center at the moment, but more are expected to be put into use in the coming months, according to the library's website.The Readers program has also led to booths in other cities including Beijing, Hangzhou, Guangzhou and Xi'an to appeal to more people to read and share their life stories.With the recent boom of culture-themed TV shows such as Readers and Chinese Poetry Competition, some are optimistic that this will help the country love literature and reading again in general.29.CCTV program Readers aims to _________.A.teach people what to readB.attract people’s attention to CCTVC.invite people to read aloud in the boothD.arouse people’s fresh enthusiasm for reading30.We can learn from Paragraph 3that _________.A.Some people waited for a long time to read in the boothB.March 4was the first day of the opening of Shanghai LibraryC.On March 4, 200 people read in the boothD.The time for registrations was lengthened for three and a half hours31.The passage mainly tells us that _________.A.Many people line up to read aloud in reading boothsB.More reading booths will be set up in the futureC.Readers has become popular all over ChinaD.Readers has inspired more people to read aloud in reading boothsDFollowing the crowd may not always be in a person’s best interest. But new research suggests that teens who go along with their friends may end up healthier as adults.Scientists have known that close friendships help boost health. That’s true for both teens and adults. The finding inspired Joseph Allen, a psychologist at the University of Virginia, and his team to study whether experiences during teen years would influence adult health. So they followed 171 teens, starting when the kids were just 13. They interviewed each one every year for five years, and also spoke to these teens’ closest friends, who provided additional information about the quality of their friendships. The same 171 people were interviewed again at ages 25, 26and 27. This time, the questions surveyed each person’s overall health. When the researchers analyzed the data they found a strong connection between a teen’s behavior and adult health. Teens who had close friends grew up to be the healthier adults. Whether teens held back their feelings or expressed them to a close friends also influenced later health. Those who held back were more likely to be sick as adults. The connection held up even after the scientists accounted for other possible influences on health. Weight, family income and drug use were all examined. So were mental health issues, such as anxiety and depression. And in these people, such other factors did not explain adult health as well as teen friendships did.Going along with the crowd may have benefits, says Allen, but there are also drawbacks. Teens who are more independent tend to do better at school and work. And peer pressure may lead some kids to engage in risky behavior, such as smoking, drinking or using drugs. Dealing with it is an ongoing challenge, Allen acknowledges. “Finding the right balance is the key. Teens shouldn’t lose heart for not finding this easy.” And, he adds, “Parents need to be understanding about the pressures teens face.”32.Where can you probably read this passage? ________A.Science fictionB.Health columnC.Fashion magazineD.Entertainment newspaper33.We can learn from Allen’s study that _________.A.many other factors have a greater influence on adult health than teen friendshipsB.mental health issues have nothing to do with adult healthC.the same 171teens were interviewed each year from 13 to 27D.the teens who couldn’t express themselves grew up to be unhealthier34.According to what Allen said, we can know that _________.A.in order to do better at school, teens should not follow the crowdB.though it’s challenging for teens to deal with peer pressure, they should not give upC.teens will engage in smoking, drinking or using drugs when facing peer pressureD.parents should understand their teens and stop them going with friends35.What can be inferred from the passage? ________A.There is nothing bad for teens to follow the crowd.B.Close friendships are the most important for people’s health.C.Teen friendships may turn out healthier adults.D.Adult health is only influenced by teen friendships.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.选项中有两项为多余选项.Four Simple Ways to Become a Morning PersonThere is no sound worse than an alarm clock first thing in the morning.

to tell you all that is on my mind.College will be the most important years in your life.It is in college that you will truly discover what learning is about.I encourage you to be inquisitive,but I also want to tell you:”Education is what you have left after all that is taught is forgotten."What I mean by that is the materials taught isn’t as important as you gaining the ability to learn a new subject,and the ability to analyze a new problem.That is really what learning in college is about﹣this will be the period where you go from teacher﹣taught to master﹣inspired,after which you must become a self ﹣learner.So do take each subject seriously,and even if what you learn isn’t critical for your life,the skills of learning will be something you cherish forever,so do your best in classes and learn.Take care of yourself and follow your passion in college.Take courses you think you will enjoy.Don't be trapped in what others think or say.Most importantly,make friends and be happy.College friends are often the best in life.Pick a few friends and become really close to them﹣pick the ones who are genuine and sincere to you.People are not perfect,so aslong as they are genuine and sincere,trust them and be good to them.They will give back.This is my secret of success﹣that I am genuine with people and trust them (unless they do something to lose my trust).Please treasure your college years﹣make the best of your free time,become an independent thinker in control of your destiny,be bold to experiment,learn and grow through your successes and challenges.May Columbia become the happiest four years in your life,and may you blossom into just what you dream to be.Love,Dad (Mom)21.What can we learn from paragraph 2?A.Education is what you learn at school.B.Ability is more important than knowledge.C.Learning and analyzing are equally important.D.Colleges only focus on skills of learning.22.The writer thinks his daughter should .A.ask for his advice on her choiceB.make a lot of friendsC.get along well with her friendsD.spare no effort to succeed23.According to the passage,the writer is a father.A.wise and caringB.strict and warm﹣heartedC.generous and talentedD.diligent and successful24.Why does the father write this letter?A.To inform his daughter of college life.B.To show father’s love.C.To broaden his daughter’s mind..D.To guide his daughter.25.As the proverb goes,man struggles upwards;water flows downwards.Water runs downhill from mountaintops to streams,to rivers and to oceans.But downhill isn't the only way that water moves.A new study measures how water travels from country to country for human consumption.This flow isn’t the type we usually think about.These scientists looked at the water used to grow and make the products which get shipped from nation to nation as imports or exports.They call this a flow of"virtual water”.We typically think about water as the liquid that flows from a tap.However,92%of the water used by people goes into growing crops,according to a water researcher Arjen Hoekstra.He recently studied the hidden travels of virtual water used in products made from things like crops and meats.These products are shipped around the world.For example,consider a sugary soft drink.Hoekstra estimated that to produce one half﹣liter of the drink requires between 170and 310liters of water﹣about 95% is used to grow and process the ingredients(原料).Another 4% goes into the packaging and labeling.In Hoekstra’scalculation,when one country produces a half﹣liter of soda and sells it abroad,it exports as much virtual water as would fill a large refrigerator.According to Hoekstra's new report,dry countries like Israel and Kuwait,both in the Middle East,get the majority of their virtual water from other countries,through imported products.More surprisingly,some wetter countries,like the Netherlands and the United Kingdom,also get the majority of their virtual water from other places.That means that most of the water used to grow or produce the products and food consumed in those countries came from other countries.25.The proverb in Paragraph One is used to .A.inspire readers to struggle upwardB.tell a law of natureC.introduce the topic of the passageD.summarize the main idea of the passage26.In which countries does most part of virtual water come from outside?.A.The United Kingdom and ChinaB.America and IsraelC.The Netherlands and KuwaitD.The Netherlands and America27.What can be a suitable title for the passage?A.Benefits of Virtual WaterB.Hidden Uses of WaterC.Crops and Virtual WaterD.Water’s Worldwide Travels28.Where does the passage probably come from?A.A science news report.B.A newspaper advertisement.C.A book review.D.A science fiction story.29.Though many Internet celebrities try to shrug off their fame,Yan Mingliang,27,has dreamed of joining the Internet elite(精英) ever since he entered college.However,luck didn't favor him.Instead,fame fell into the lap of his pet dog,Beiji.In early 2015,Yan used his microblog to post two pictures of Beiji lying on the ground,and they went viral on social media.Because he took the photos at a strange angle,it almost looks like Beiji's body has fallen apart.Finally,Yan got to experience what is like to be an Internet celebrity,or more accurately,the owner of an Internet celebrity dog.New followers started to flood in,and Yan received hundreds of private messages each day.In less than four weeks,Yan managed to attract more than 20,000followers.”I am famous now."Yan thought at that time.However,fame didn’t just bring joy,but also annoyance.Since Beiji was only 3months old and Yan sometimes had to put him into a cage as a means of"education",there were also private messages from followers who fiercely criticized Yan for being too cruel.”It gradually occurred to me that no matter how frankly you present yourself on social media,Internet users only witness part of your life.And their judgments depend on that partial life story of yours,"said Yan,”They don’t know how hard it is to raise a pet dog when you're unemployed,Yan explained.They also don't care about whether the dog they're enjoying is being pushed too hard."Yan finally decided to leave his Internet fame behind and focus more on his real life."The lesson I learned is that,if you can't live up to your followers'expectations,it’s better not to be an Internet celebrity,"he said.29.The underlined phrase”went viral"in Paragraph 2probably means .A.were exposedB.became widely﹣spreadC.were criticizedD.became viruses30.Why did Yan become famous?A.Because his dog became famous.B.Because he posted two pictures on the Internet.C.Because he took a strange picture.D.Because he became an Internet celebrity.31.How did Yan probably feel at first when he realized he became well ﹣known?A.puzzled and annoyedB.surprised and tiredC.disappointed and annoyedD.excited and joyful32.What can we infer from what Yan said in the last two paragraphs?A.It is hard to raise a pet dog.B.He isn't fully understood on the Internet.C.He decided to stop making use of his microblog.D.Internet celebrities can't satisfy their followers.33.You might think going to school during the summer is opposite to what summertime is all about.But for the thousands of Calgary kids with a true love of learning,there's no better time to have fun with their education,while at the same time getting a rough idea of what their post﹣secondary future might hold.The University of Calgary,Mount Royal University and SAIT Polytechnic all offer summertime programs that give kids hands﹣on experience in the labs and other facilities they’ll be working in down the road."Our bread and butter is Mini University PhD,”sa ys Don McSwiney,spokesperson for U of C Summer Camps."The idea is to give people a fun learning experience and a hands﹣on learning experience,which helps kids understand concepts better than learning in a book.”Mini University PhD gets kids into the labs and art studios of the U of C,where they take part in programs such as The Scientist,where they learn about topics like mapping DNA and creating volcanoes.Mini U programsdealing with art and sports are also being offered this year.Minds in Motion motivates kids to explore science,engineering and technology in a hands﹣on way.At Mount Royal,the MRU Kids program is marking its 20th anniversary.”We have about 18different programs for children from 6to 17."says program administrator Maya Anderson.There’s also t he ConocoPhillips Youth Science Academy for ages 13to 17,which focuses more on the academic﹣﹣those who want to go into science.More than 3,200kids are expected to take part in MRU summer programs,which helps to keep kids engaged in learning through the summer in a fun way.SAIT Polytechnic has added more camps for the grades 4to 6range,and the list includes topics ranging from Sports Science and SCISpy,to Planet Protectors (energy,engineering,environment).”We focus on building self﹣confidence in our campers,"says Jaros.”Making them confident in their ability to learn and become reengaged in learning,without the pressure of school.”33.If a student wants to know how to map DNA,he should attend .A.MRU kids B.The Scientist C.Minds in Motion D.Einstein's Shampoo34.We can learn from the passage that .A.the campers have great fun in the summertime programsB.the summertime programs merely focus on hands﹣on learning coursesC.the program of sports has been offered for 20yearsD.the summer campers are all confident of their future35.The purpose of the passage is .A.to show children's great desire for knowledgeB.to complain students’stressful life during the

beyond our control.With an annoying mix of late trains,missed appointments and work deadlines,many of us are living in a constant state of stress.Experts warn,our modern lifestyles mean that stress is almost continuous,and comes without the natural release that either fighting or fleeing might provide.(36) Conditions vary from mood swings to anxiety,irritability,nervousness and tiredness.In extreme cases,it can even cause headaches,muscle cramps,and digestive problems.But there are a number of things we can do to manage the symptoms.•(37)Balancing blood sugar is essential in lowering stress.To maintain its level,you can try to have one small meal every two﹣to﹣three hours that contains protein,for example,breakfast,lunch and dinner plus a mid ﹣morning and mid﹣afternoon snack.In this case,your blood sugar will be steady.(38)•Laugh as you like(39) Many studies show that laughter boosts our energy,decreases stress hormones,improves immunity and lessens pains.Try to find humour in life and engage in activities that make you laugh.Don’t feel guilty about doing what you love.It will work its magic in your body.•Schedule your work out timingIt could be the time,rather than the way that determines how effective your workouts would be.(40)Do energy﹣forming exercises like running or aerobics(有氧运动) in the morning,and milder activities in the evening.Try a walk at the end of the day to calm your mind and stretch your muscles.A.Adapt your exercise routine to the biological clock.B.Eat little and often.C.These things are activated by laughing.D.So will your mood swings.E.Living with it can lead to a whole range of health problems.F.Laughter is the best medicine.G.The aim of exercise is to boost your energy.三、完形填空(共1小题;每小题1.5分,满分30分)阅读下面短文,从短文后各题所给的四个选项(A,B,C,D)中,选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑.41.There is a kind of guys you’d rather hate and Kevin is among them.He is always in a good mood and always

惠州市2017届高三第一次调研考试英语试题本试卷分选择题和非选择题两部分。

满分120分(最终成绩按总分135分进行折算),考试用时120分钟。

第I卷第一部分阅读理解(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,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

AThere seems to be some truth in the old saying: "An apple a day keeps the doctor away. "A new study in the Chinese population said Wednesday that people who eat fresh fruit on most days are at lower risk of heart attack and stroke than people who rarely eat fresh fruit.The findings, published by the New England Journal of Medicine, came from a seven-year study of half a million adults in China, where fresh fruit consumption is much lower than in countries like the U.K. or the United States.Researchers from the University of Oxford and Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences conducted a large, nationwide study of 500,000 adults across China, tracking health for seven years through death records and electronic hospital records of illness. The participants did not have a history of cardiovascular (心血管)diseases or anti-hypertensive (抗高血压)treatments when they first joined the study. The study found that eating a 100-gram portion of fruit per day was associated with about one-third less cardiovascular mortality(心血管死亡率)."The association between fruit consumption and cardiovascular risk seems to be stronger in China, where many still eat little fruit, than in high-income countries where daily consumption of fruit is more common," study author Huaidong Du of the University of Oxford said.Also, fruit in China is almost exclusively consumed raw, whereas much of the fruit inhigh-income countries is processed, and many previous studies combined fresh and processed fruit, said Du.Senior author Zhengming Chen, professor at the University of Oxford, noted that it's difficult to know whether the lower risk in people who eat more fresh fruit is because of a real protective effect. "If it is, then widespread consumption of fresh fruit in China could prevent about half a million cardiovascular deaths a year, including 200,000 before age 70, and even larger numbers of non-fatal strokes and heart attacks," Chen added.21. According to the passage, we can learn that __________.A. The study was conducted internationally among 500,000 adults.B. Daily consumption of fruit is less common in low-income countries .C. Chinese will not die of cardiovascular diseases if they eat enough fresh fruit.D. It knows for sure that the lower risk in people eating more fresh fruit is becauseof a real protective effect.22. What’s the main idea of this passage?A. It is suggested to eat processed fruit rather than raw fruit.B. Male are more likely to suffer from heart attack and stroke than female.C. Research findings link lower heart diseases to more fresh fruit eating.D. The government needs to prevent people from heart attack and stroke .23. Where does this passage probably come from?A. A book review. B .A health report.C. A class presentation.D. A medical advertisement.BA man walked into a small Irish pub and ordered three beers. Bartender was surprised, but he served that man three beers. One hour later the man ordered three beers again. The very next day that man ordered three beers again and drank quietly at a table. This repeated several times and shortly after the people of the town were whispering about the man, who was ordering three beers at once.A couple of weeks later, the bartender decided to clear this out and inquired: “Ido not want to pry, but could you explain, why do you order three beers all the time?” The man replied: “It seems strange, isn’t it? You see, my two brothers live abroad at the moment, one –in France and another –in Italy. We have made an agreement, that every time we go to pub each of us will order extra two beers and it will help keeping up the family bond ”.Soon all the town have heard about the man’s answer and liked it a lot. The man became a local celebrity. Residents of the town were telling this story to newcomers or tourists and even invited them to that pub to look at Three Beer Man.However, one day the man came to pub and ordered only two beers, not three as usual. The bartender served him with bad feeling. All that evening the man ordered and drank only two beers. The very next day all the town was talking about this news, some people pray for the soul of one of the brothers, others quietly grieve.When the man came to pub the next time and ordered two beers again, the bartender asked him: “I would like to offer condolences to you, due to the death of your dear brother”. The man considered this for a moment and then replied: “Oh, you are probably surprised that I order only two beers now? Well, my two brothers are alive and well. It‘s just because of my decision. I promised myself to give up drinking.”24. The man ordered three beers all the time because _______.A. people were fond of drinking beers in this pub.B. he missed his two brothers living abroad very much.C. it was an agreement with his brothers to keep up the family bond.D. this would help him become a local celebrity.25. We can infer from the passage that______.A. news traveled fast in the town.B. the man became famous in the town because he was a heavy drinkerC. the man’s brothers liked drinking beer very muchD. the man was strong-minded to give up drinking26. The bartender served the man with bad feeling because ________.A. he would earn less moneyB. he thought the man should order three beersC. he thought one of the man’s brothers had passed awayD. the man decided to drink two beers27. The underlined word “condolences” in the last paragraph can be replaced by______.A. gratitudeB. appreciationC. surpriseD. sympathyCMany fruits and vegetables would disappear from grocery store shelves if it weren’t for honeybees. Almonds, for example, are a $2.5 billion industry in California, and almond growers depend on honeybees to pollinate(授粉) the crop. No honeybees would mean no almonds. Many berries (like blackberries and strawberries) need bees, as do vegetables like cucumbers and squash. And don’t forget tree crops like apples, oranges and peaches. Watermelon and cantaloupes depend on bees, too. In fact, approximately 15 percent of the food Americans eat comes directly from honeybee pollination. Another 15 percent comes from animals that eat foods that bees pollinate. In other words, close to a third of the food that Americans eat currently requires honeybee pollination. Honeybee pollination is so important that bee farmers actually truck their bees from orchard to orchard and farm to farm to help pollinate crops.A honeybee starts the honey making process by visiting a flower. With luck, the flower contains nectar, and the bee sucks some of the nectar up with a little straw built into its mouth. Most flower nectars are like sugar water; there is a little sugar mixed with water. Nectars can contain other beneficial substances as well. To make honey, two things happen.The first thing uses enzymes. One enzyme that bees produce turns the sucrose in the nectar into glucose and fructose. Another enzyme turns some of the glucose into an acid and hydrogen peroxide. By making honey acidic, it kills any bacteria that get into the honey.The second thing uses evaporation to get rid of the extra water. Most of the moisture has to be evaporated, so that honey is only about 18 percent water. Bees evaporate the extra water by putting little drops of nectar in the hive and fanning it with their wings.Honey is a very stable food. It naturally resists molds, fungi and other bacteria, allowing it to last for years without refrigeration.28. Bees are always trucked between different places in order to _____________.A. lay eggs in all the orchards to farmsB. mate with bees living in different zonesC. help bee farmers deal with harmful insectsD. to pollinate flowers or plants grown in different places.29. How does a honeybee suck the nectar from flowers?A. through a little straw built into its mouth.B. with the help of the bee farmer.C. by drinking the water that contains nectar.D. by fanning it with the wings.30. Which one is the way mentioned in the passage to make honey?A. to evaporate most of the moisture in the nectar.B. to kill all the bacteria in the nectar.C. to expose it to sunlight for some time.D. to mix the nectar with some sugar.31. Why honey can be kept for a long time without being cooled?A. Because there is no bacteria in it.B. Because it can stand bad weather conditions.C. Because it protects itself against bacteria naturally.D. Because it is well-preserved in containers.DWhen Andrew was born in Jiangsu, China, his father opened Panda Inn, a sit-down restaurant in Pasadena, California, serving family foods fast and hot.Andrew’s father had taught him to take on a new challenge only after mastering the previous one. It took ten years before Andrew felt he was ready to deal with the all-American challenge: the fast-food industry.The first Panda Express opened in a Southern California mall in 1983. As Pandas began to increase, Peggy, who has a PhD in electrical engineering, gave up her career tojoin the company full-time, first as president, then as CEO. Today, Peggy and Andrew share the title of chairman.They are big fans of Stephen Covey’s The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, a book they require all job applicants to read before their interview. “Success is a byproduct of our habits,”says Andrew. “We’re very focused on learning how to do the right things well and completely so that what all of us do actually makes an Impact.” Doing the right thing includes paying more than the minimum wage and part of health care for all 17,300 employees, including part-timers. Some warned that this would cause financial problems. But not for the Panda Express. “If you’re too focused on the results and try to develop shortcuts, you’re going to have to pay it back later somehow,” Andrew says.They take seriously the concept that to lead is to serve. It means helping employees improve their livelihood and, in the process, learn to live a fuller life. In the end, Andrew says, “They are better off financially, but they’re al so smarter because they’re curious and learning. They take care of themselves physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually. When all of us do these things well, there’s a better chance that we will treat the customers better.”32. The writer mentions Peggy, who has a PhD, in order to show that Panda Express______.A. needed support from AmericansB. was increasing very rapidlyC. needed wise leadersD. attracted a lot of talented people33. We may infer from the passage that______ .A. Focus on doing the right thing and the results will take care of themselves.B. Chinese food is becoming more and more popular in AmericaC. Panda Express has never met with financial problemsD. Andrew and Peggy are good examples of companies in the US34. Andrew and Peggy share the same idea that ______.A. the habit of reading Stephen Covey’s book leads to successB. they focus on the results and developing shortcutsC. a good leader must be a good servant as wellD. the employees should help their customers improve their livelihood35. The passage is mainly about ______.A. Panda Express’s success in fast-food industryB. the effect that Stephen’s book has on Panda ExpressC. the challenge of the fast-food industry in the USD. Panda Express’s philosophy of managemen t第二节(共5小题,每小题2分,满分10分)Recent research shows that listening to music improves our mental well-being and boosts our physical health in surprising and astonishing ways. ___36___Here are some amazing scientifically-proven benefits of being hooked on music.Music reduces depressionMore than 350 million people suffer from depression around the world. A study by Hans Joachim Trappe in Germany demonstrated that music can benefit patients with depressive symptoms, depending on the type of music. ___37___ But techno and heavy metal brought people down even more. The next time you feel low, put on some classical or meditative music to lift your spirits.___38___Research shows that taking music lessons predicts higher academic performance and IQ in young children.

AFlying can be fun and exciting, no matter what you choose to do. But have you ever thought about what happens on the plane?Here are some of the most interesting things that happen.Do planes drop human waste while in flight?When you flush a toilet on a plane at an altitude of 30,000 feet, there must be a question on your mind: “Is this about to land on a farmer’s house?”Take it easy. A plane’s toilets cannot be emptied in the sky. The waste is stored in tanks on board and can only be operated by the ground crew.However, why is news like “blue ice falling out of a plane” reported? Is blue ice human waste? Stories about blue ice are true but rarely happen. The FAA said some lavatory holding tanks have a blue chemical in them. If a tank leaks high in the air, the water freezes once it hits the outside air, and melts before it lands on the ground.Is turbulence (颠簸) dangerous?It’s scary, uncomfort able and spills your drink. But is turbulence something you really need to worry about?Absolutely not. It’s part of flying, and it isn’t dangerous. Turbulence is caused when two masses of air hit one another at different speeds. Wind, thunderstorms and closeness to mountains are all possible reasons. Despite how dangerous it feels, turbulence won’t crash your plane. Even in extremely rough air, the wing is not going to break off. Why are plane windows round?If you have traveled by plane before, you may have noticed that every plane window has a round design. This isn’t to make the plane look good. It’s for the safety of everyone on board.As the airplane flies higher and higher, the outside atmospheric pressure gets lower and lower. In the end, the pressure inside the plane becomes greater than the pressure outside. At this time, windows that can resist pressure are needed.Square windows can crack. The different pressure inside and outside put stress on the right angles. However, rounded corners help to reduce these stresses by spreading them around the window.21. It can be learned from the passage that________.A. passengers’ waste falls onto the land directB. blue ice frequently falls out of planesC. blue ice from a plane is a great safety threatD. passengers’ waste is dealt with on the ground22. According to the passage, turbulence________.A. is very dangerousB. seldom happens during flyingC. may crash a planeD. can be caused for many reasons23. The plane window has a round design for the purpose of _________.A. economyB. securityC. beautyD. convenience24. The passage is meant to ________.A. tell us some interesting facts about flyingB. inform us of flying safety tipsC. warn us of the danger of flyingD. introduce us the design of a planeBChinese colleges have come up with an unusual way to help freshmen settle in. They turn their gyms into campsites for moms and dads, some of whom have traveled thousands of miles across the country, to say goodbye.For the past five years, Tianjin University in northern China has provided free accommodation for parents in what it calls "tents of love". Other schools let parents sleep on mats in school gymnasiums."Going to college is a life moment and my parents didn’t want to miss that," said Zhang Jinqi, a freshman at Tianjin University majoring in applied chemistry. His parents traveled with him on the 19-hour train journey from Jiangxi province in southern China.Images of schools gyms packed with parents have been widely shared on Chinese social media prompting a debate on whether China’s only children are too coddled.Some have voiced criticism of Tianjin University, saying that they think both the parents and the children should be more independent.Xiong Bingqi, the deputy director of think-tank 21st Century Education Research Institute,thinks the problem is overstated. "It has always been a problem in China that at the start of every school year, colleges are packed with parents who come along to drop off their children and stay with them," he said. "For some families, it’s their way to celebrate the first-ever family member who’s able to go to college," Xiong added. "There’s nothing wrong with sharing the happiness."Zhang’s father said the decision to escort their son was a no-brainer. He and his wife are among the many "campers" who sleep in the 550 temporary tents set up in the Tianjin University gym."My child has lots of luggage and we also want to go travel," said his father Zhang Yonghui. "The hotels nearby are fully booked so I had to sleep in the tents."Their son also shrugged off the criticism although he said he was looking forward to living on his own for the first time. "Being accompanied by my parents doesn’t mean I’m spoiled."25. Zhang Jinqi thought his parents accompanied him to his university mainly because _____.A. they wanted to go to travel in TianjinB. they wanted to help him with his luggageC. they wanted to witness his important life momentD. they doubted his independence26.

Chinese college education is faced with a big challenge.CTimes are a little tough at our house right now. Neither of us makes a lot of money, but years of experience have taught us how to walk between the raindrops and make it from one month to the next with a fair amount of grace. I cook a lot at home, more when we're facing lean times. When I know that I have to keep us fed on not much money, I fall back on my grandmother's recipes. She taught me to cook.When I was a kid, my twin brother and I spent long summer weeks and Christmas vacations with my mother's parents in the mountains of North Carolina. Rather than go hunting with my grandfather on frozen mornings, I found myself more and more in the kitchen with my grandmother, watching her making a lemon cheese pie with her soft hands.My great-grandmother died when my grandmother was 11 years old. As the eldest daughter, she was expected to take on all of the housework while attending school. Throughout the Great Depression, she learned how to make a little food go a long way. Vegetables were cheap,so she cooked a lot of them, mostly only using small amounts of meat for seasoning. Roast beef was a twice-a-month luxury, but there was nothing she couldn't do with a chicken, every part of it. Nothing went to waste.Now I understand that her food was sacred(神圣的). I feel connected to my grandmother and to hundreds of years of family when I'm in my kitchen making country food. In the delicious smells is a long tale of victory over hard times, of conquering starvation—of not just surviving, but finding joy and pleasure in every meal of every day.From grandmother I learned to take real satisfaction in feeding people. My grandmother would beam with pleasure over a heavily laden table and say:“Do you know what this would cost at the restaurant?”I never knew what restaurant in particular she had in mind, butI knew that the question was totally not fair, because no restaurant anywhere can cook likea grandmother. But now, thanks to her guidance and years of practice, I can.29.

Joy and pleasure in cookingDThe city of Hangzhou in Zhejiang province is a frequent headline. As a major tourist attraction in China, there were so many tourists during last year’s hottest travel seasons th at most of them see only the top of each other’s heads rather than one of the many sights. Hangzhou is also famous for creativity and famous people, being home to Internet giants such as the Alibaba Group and Net Ease.However, the city has never drawn so much attention as it did in September, when the G20 Summit welcomed heads of the world’s 20 major economies and international organizations. For two days, they discussed topics including strengthened policy coordination, building new paths for growth, effective economic and financial governance, as well as strong world trade and investment.On the night of Sept 4, the city also entertained its guests and audience from around the world with a marvelous party directed by Zhang Yimou. The show, entitled Symphony on West Lake is based on Zhang Yimou’s Impressions of West Lake, an astonishing performance that takes place right on the surface of the water, combining music, dance, and light effects all against the backdrop of nature.Influential discus sions and attractive shows may be enough to draw the world’s attention toward Hangzhou, and for young people around the world, the G20 summit has more to offer. It is a global event that they can take part in as volunteers, to develop their communication s kills. It is a multicultural dialogue, affecting these young people’s future career; it motivates and inspires youths of different cultures to exchange ideas; it even helps young Chinese people to learn more about their own culture. And these reasons are what are drawing the notice of young people toward the G20 summit.33. What has been discussed in the G20 Summit according to the passage?A. New policy of political growthB.

This time,thequestions surveyed each person’s overall health.When theresearchers analyzed the data they found a strong connectionbetween a teen’s behavior and adult health.Teens who hadclose friends grew up to be the healthier adults.Whetherteens held back their feelings or expressed them to a closefriends also influenced later health.Those who held back weremore likely to be sick as adults.The connection held up even after the scientists accounted for other possible influences on health.Weight,family income and drug use were all examined.So were mental health issues,such as anxiety and depression.And in these people,such other factors did not explain adult health as well as teen friendships did.Going along with the crowd may havebenefits,saysAllen,but there are also drawbacks.Teens who are more independent tend to do better at school and work.And peer pressure may lead some kids to engage in risky behavior, such as smoking,drinking or usingdrugs.Dealing with it is an ongoingchallenge,Allenacknowledges.“Finding the right balance is the key.Teens shouldn’t lose heart for not finding thiseasy.”And,headds,“Parents need to be understanding about the pressures teens face.”12.
