Tourists take the lift at _______ to the top of the mountain on Christmas Day.A. 8 a.m.B. 4 p.m.C. 9 a.m.D. 10 p.m.BLear ning to read is one of the most important periods in anyone’s development as it opens up so many opportunities. So many things in everyday life depend on your being able to read clearly. Here are a few examples.If you want to find out the latest news about your favorite film star or the result of the latest match, you will pick up a newspaper and read what it has to say about these topics.If you are on a long train or plane journey, you will probably have a book, a magazine or an e-book to help you pass t he time. Even if you are someone who ―doesn’t read books, it is possible that you will have to read the rules of the computer game that you are playing.Very often, you read something without realizing that you are reading. For example, you might check the time table at an airport or make sure that you drive carefully as you see the road sign ―HILL. If you are unable to read, these necessary actions become either very difficult or impossible to achieve.So, you understand how important a part reading plays in your life. Everybody who is using this textbook, To Be A Better Reader, has got the art of reading more or less. Why, then, you may ask yourself, is it necessary to have to read a book that tells you how to become a better reader — if you can read already, what is there to improve? Well, please think very carefully about what you mean by ―reading. Does it just mean that you know the meaning of words on a page and then speak them aloud or to yourself? Or is it something more than that?In fact, reading without understanding is worthless. The main purpose of reading is to help you understand the world better and achieve a more colorful life. So no matter where you are, try to read with understanding and be a better reader.4. From Paragraph 2 to Paragraph 4, how does the writer prove (证明)his opinion?A. By telling reasons.B. By giving examples.C. By showing pictures.D. By comparing differences.5. According to the passage, people are reading when they ____________.①see a movie poster in the theater ②find a NO SMOKING sign in the library③enjoy a big meal in the restaurant ④notice a Great Sale ad in the supermarketA. ①②③B. ①③④C. ①②④D. ②③④6. It can be inferred (推断)that the textbook, To Be A Better Reader, can help us to ____________.A. learn new wordsB. read out sentencesC. improve reading skillsD. know about game rules7. What’s the main purpose of the last two paragraphs?A. To help us make a reading plan.B. To help us be able to read clearly.C. To advise us to read more textbooks.D. To advise us to read with understanding.CSometimes, you just can’t help it. Maybe you’re watching a sad movie, or thinking about the friend who moved away. Why do people cry? What are tears(眼泪)? Scientists are working hard to find out the answers to these questions.Ad Vingerhoets is a professor of psychology(心理学)at Tilburg University in the Netherlands. He is one of the few scientists in the world who have studied crying. According to Vingerhoets, there are three types of tears. Basal tears are the first type. They act as a protective object between the eye and the rest of the world. Next are reflex tears. They wash your eyes clean when something gets in them. Finally, there are emotional tears. “They are connected with our feelings,” explains Vingerhoets. “Especially when we feel helpless.”Scientists believe that crying has something to do with how humans developed and learned to depend on each other. “Humans are very complex(复杂的),” says Lauren Bylsma, a professor from the USA. “It seems that tears serve to get help and support from others.” She says another reason we cry is that humans have the longest developmental period of almost any animal. It takes a long time for humans to grow up.Vingerhoets approves. “I think that the reason why humans cry has to do with our long childhood,” he says. “That’s the time when we are still dependent on adults for love and protection and care. Tears were a safer way to be noticed by others. In this case, it is better to use a quiet way to ask for help,” he says.Vingerhoets and Bylsma do lots of studies to better understand why humans cry. According to Bylsma, there isstill much more to discover. “It’s surprising,” she says, “how much we still don’t know.”8. What kind of tears will run down your face when something gets into your eyes?A. Basal tears.B. Reflex tears.C. Emotional tears.D. Complex tears.9. The underlined word “approves” in Paragraph 4 most probably means“_____________”.A. agreesB. cheersC. repeatsD. succeeds10. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. It’s easy to un derstand why humans cry.B. Basal tears are a type of protective object.C. Emotional tears are better than reflex tears.D. The reason why humans cry has nothing to do with childhood.11. We may read this passage ____________.A. in a mystery novelB. in a storybookC. in a science magazineD. in a sports newspaperDWhen Matty Sallin, 34, was working on a degree in art and technology at New York University, he got interesting homework in electronic class. He decided to invent an alarm clock.Everybody has to stand it every day, and it is really unpleasant! he says. He asked different people what they would like to be woken up instead of a noisy alarm. A lot of them said, "The smell of bacon (培根肉)".So Sallin and two classmates invented a new kind of alarm clock: a wooden box with a pig face and a digital clock that uses the smell of cooking bacon instead of the sound to wake someone up. He explains, "There’s no danger of burning, because I built it carefully. It uses halogen light bulbs (钨卤灯)instead of a fire for cooking and turns off automatically (自动地)after ten minutes." Yes, the clock itself can do it. Just a few easy steps are needed to set the alarm."What you do is to put some frozen bacon in the night before and set the alarm," says Sallin."If you set the alarm for 8:00, it will turn on at 7:50 and slowly cook for ten minutes under the halogen bulbs," he says. Then the bulbs turn off and a fan blows the smell out through the nose of the pig."So instead of an alarm, you get a bacon smell awake," says Sallin. "Then you can open the door on the side and pull the bacon out and eat it."When Sallin was a kid, he spent a lot of time making drawings of inventions. "I wanted to make a lift in my backyard and a special tree house, "he says. "But I never really thought I could be called an inventor!"Sallin got an A in the class and went on to other things — but people continue to hear about his invention and email him every day asking where they can buy his alarm clock.12. The underlined word ―it in the second paragraph refers to (指代)____________.A. homeworkB. technologyC. a new clockD. a noisy alarm13. Which of the following happens first?A. Cooking the bacon for ten minutes.B. Putting some frozen bacon.C. Setting the alarm clock.D. Blowing the smell out.14. According to the passage, we know that ____________.A. it’s dangerous to cook bacon for breakfastB. Sallin refused to spend much time on inventionsC. people are interested in Sallin’s bacon alarm clockD. students at New York University are tired of homework15. What’s the most probable title for this passage?A. A Special “Smell” ClockB. Interesting HomeworkC. A Great InventorD. The Smell of Bacon第二节下面文章中有五处(第16-20题)需要添加首句。

It was a special pleasure to have such a 13 day after weeks of hiking, snowboarding and going crazy.“ Hi dad! Want some orange juice, graybeard? ” Coyote叫喊)toyellmedmuch( louder than 14 .“ No, just bring me some chips! ” I shouted back.One time, when I misheard what he said three times in a row, he 15 that I had become too old and started tohear worse. Since then, yelling at me has become a kind of family joke.1Pushing everything to the limit was the basis ofCoyote's character. On one hand, it helped him to achievetasks he had to do on his own, and he did great, makingmeproud of him. On the other hand, this brought him 16 , as hedid not knowwhen to stop. At such moments, I would behave super ?fatherly, and give him advice and warnings that heusually ignored ( 忽视 ). When he wore a green haircut,I would try to convince ( 说服 ) him to paint it black.When he got a tattoo ( 纹身 ), we had a /an 17 . All these surely drove me mad, and the big fights started. It is strange but when I was a teenager, my fatherwould act exactly the same and it took me a long time to understand him.“ Dad, let me show you something, ” Coyote said as he was getting back. 18 “, okay?Don'tget”tooIsighed叹 (气), because I was almost sure of what I was about to see.When he 19 his T-shirt, I saw a new tattoo: some Buddhist symbol, I guess.Coyote has been interested inAsian culture for a long time.“ Control yourself, graybeard, ” I said to myself, trying not to yell somethinglike,“ Whythe hanother tattoo after you already madethat huge first one? ”The next moment I realized that myyelling would not 20 anything; the tattoo was already on Coyote's skin.And then I thought: “ Hey, what if I get atattoo myself? ”13.

CocoB. GreenBookC. WonderParkD. A Dog's WayHomeBThis kid fights hunger and homelessnessAustin Perine is only four years old. His story started this past February in theliving room in Birmingham. Austin andhis father, TJ Perine, were watching a program about a mother panda leaving her babies.“ I told him that the babies woulbe homeless for a while, ” TJ says. “ Austin didn't know what homelessness meant, but he was sad and wanted to knowmore. ”Seeing this as a teachable moment, TJ took Austin to the Firehouse Ministries, a local shelter ( 救济中心 ) that provides housing and food for homeless men.As they drove by, they saw 25 homeless menstanding on the street corner. “ Dad, they look sad, ” Austin said.“ Can we take them some food and makthem smile? ”Austin used his pocket money to buy each man a Burger King hamburger and handed the food outhimself. Seeing what the burgers meant to the men, Austin returned the next week. He handed outburgers along with his catchphrase ( 口号 ), “ Don't forget to show love! ”After he returned for five weeks, word of Austin's acts of kindness spread through social-media.Burger King agreedto donate (捐赠 ) $1,000 a month for a year to feed the homeless. Soon, churchesand shelters began inviting Austin to give out food in poor areas. Thanks tosocial support, now Austin and TJ can feed 800 to 2,000 people at once.But Austin isn't just filling bellies. He's improving the lives of those people he meets. On that first trip to FirehouseMinistries, TJ and Austin talked to a man named Raymont. The respect Austinshowed touched Raymont, and Raymont told them his story. Having known his experience, TJ helped him get a job. Finally he was able to rent an apartment.All that was made possible because a little boy took time to care.Austin's actions have now become his family's calling. His grandma Audrey Perine set up the Show Love Foundation(基金会 ) which helps fight homelessness. TJ left his job to oversee the foundation.As for Austin, he continues to give out food, smiles, and his message oflove. It makes me feel like I'm saving“ the day. ”24. Austin's father took him to to see what homelessness meant.A. a churchB. a restaurantC. a poor areaD. a local shelter25. Raymont was moved when .3A. Austin offered him a jobB. Austin bought him some foodC. Austin showed respect to himD. Austin listened to his story patiently26. How did Austin help the homeless?A. By setting up a foundation.B. By asking Burger King to donate.C. By spreading their stories through social ? media.D. By spending time and moneycaring about them.CGrandparents are respected in many human societies.But tellingstories about oldtimes and overfeeding grandchildren seem like distinctly humantraits ( 特征 ).Are theseclassic grandparent behaviors really limited to human beings? Doany animals knowtheir grandparents the way people do? For most species ( 物种 )on Earth,the answer isNO! “ Usually, there just aren't grandparents livinganymore whenan animal is born, ”said Mirkka Lahdenper? , a biologist at the University of Turkuin Finland. Even if ananimal's grandparents are still alive, most species spread out toavoid competing forresources, so the chances of running into a grandparent are small.But there are a few exceptions, primarily among mammals ( 哺乳动物 ) that live in close social groups. Canadianzoologist Anne Innis Dagg described groups of langur monkeys in India in whicholder females lived with their daughters and grandchildren. The grandmotherlangurs have a particular job: they protect the group's babies against hurt from humans, dogs and other monkeys. Some female langurs even give their owngrandchildren special treatment, cleaning their fur and stepping in when they playtoo roughly with other young.Many whale species, too, travel with their families,including both grandmothers and grandcalves. In groups of sperm whales, according to Dagg, old females help babysit the group'syoung while their mothers dive ( 潜水 ) for food. Orca grandmothers often lead their familymembers and can live for many years after they stop reproducing. In 2015, scientists suggestedthat these elder orcas help their grandcalves through hard times, because they remember all thebest places to find food.Female elephants rule the whole family. Calves ( 幼崽 ) are typically borninto groups led by their grandmothers, who can live to around 80 years old. Thefemale elephants form close relationships, said Lahdenper? , and raise theiryoungtogether. Lahdenper? found that the calves of young mothers were eight times more likelyto survive if theirgrandmothers lived near them than if they didn't. When the calves' mothers were older and more experienced at raisingbabies, this beneficial “ grandmotherdisappearedeffct even” if the actual grandmothers were still around.It isn't very clear how elephant grandmothers help their inexperienced daughters, said Lahdenper? . It is believed thatthey may help nurse their grandcalves. But Lahdenper? thinks that the more likely advantage is the wisdom a grandmotherelephant has got during her long lifetime.And what about grandfathers? Studies of humans in recent years have shown that aliving grandfather can improve aperson's mental health and well ? being, said Lahdenper?. But there are signs of that in the animal kingdom, she said. Maleanimals seldom socialize with their own children, let alone grandchildren. “ Males are usually focusing on productheir own children and aren't providing so much care, ” Lahdenper? said.27. From Paragraph 3, we know that orca grandmothers _______.A. die after reproducingB. teach the young to dive for foodC. have rich experienceD. enjoy travelling with grandfathers28. The examples of monkeys, whales and elephants show that __________.A. the “ grandmother effect ” lasts long in the animal worldB. grandmothers shoulder great responsibilities in their familiesC. animal grandfathers can improve grandcalves' mental healthD. most species treat their grandparents like human beings do29. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?A. Animal grandparents are like human grandparentsB. Animal grandmas are born groupleaders4C. Are animal grandmas given enough respect?D. Do any animals know their grandparents?DOver the past decade, an increasing stress has been placed on the importance of Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) related classes in primary, middle and high school education in the U S. The reason for this directionis well founded: research and test scores from the 1980s and 1990s showed thatour students had fallen behind their international peers in all of these subjectareas. Education officials, teachers and parents all felt that the situationneeded tobe changed, and quickly. However, in the rush to play catch-up in STEM-relatedareas, there's one important aspect that is being neglected (忽略 ): the Fine and Performing Arts, particularly drama.It's long been understood that a study of drama at the primary, middle and highschool level helps students improve inmany areas, such as self-confidence, self-expression, communication skills, teamwork,and imagination. Most educatorsand parents agree that all of these are important for students to develop at any age,but it is difficult for the same parentsand teachers to prioritize ( 优先安排 ) study time and classroom time to a subject like drama over subjects like Math,Physics or Computer Science. It's even more difficult for policy makers and school officials to channel funds ( 资金 )towards classes like drama, when the skills arts subjects develop are considered“ soft skills. ” When thecalling out for “ hard ” skills, like those needed to succeed in? driventhetech21st century, how can they possibly prove it isreasonable to spend their funds that are becoming smaller and smaller on anything but STEM subjects?The short answer to the question “ why spend time and money on drama? education”is thathas beendramascientifically proven to improve students' achievement, especially incommunication skills that are very important to a STEM education. As we developstudents with highly refined skills in STEM subjects, it's equally importantthat we trainthe teachers that will support continued growth in these areas. An active,communicative teacher is the best way to get students on board in the study ofSTEM subjects, which can be unbearably dry. The best way to develop activecommunication skills? Drama. The next area in which the communication skills canbe developed is publication and conference presentation. Drama improves students'public speaking skills necessary for STEM students to effectively present papersin conferences and their writing skills necessary to publish papers. It's alsovery important for students to be able to work well with one another. In the realSTEM world, almost all scientific work happens in teams. Without the“ soft ” people necessaryskills to navigate (导航 ) all of theseinteractions, no matter how technologically skilled one becomes, he or shewill be at a disadvantage without the ability to communicate and work inteams.While the nationwide trend ( 趋势 ) to focus on playing catch ? up in STEMeducation is reasonable, practical, and absolutely necessary, it's importantnot to forget the huge effect arts, specifically drama education, have on theoveralleducation of our children. The question parents, educators, and policy makers should be asking themselves is notafford to support arts education in schools? ” but rather “ can we afford not to? ”30.Why did Americans start to stress STEM related classes?A.Because the world has moved into a tech ? driven century.B.Because STEM classes have long been neglected in America.C.Because education officials prefer STEM classes to art classes.D.Because US students are expected to be at an advantage in these areas.31 .Theword“ channel” in Paragraph 2 probablymean ”.“A.affordB.directC.create D. raise32 .The third paragraph ismainly about .A. the benefits of dramaeducationB. the importance of STEMlearningC. the abilities needed forSTEM learningD. the reasons to improvedrama education33 .The writer probablyagrees that .A. drama is more important than STEM classesB. drama education has been the nationwide trendC. the result of neglecting drama education is hard to bearD.

I am thankful for my beautiful friend to share this family milestone ( 里程碑 )event.Nine family members, myself and a few friends, took part in the day. Sunday was a special day because it was the last time that Tomato Sauce Day event would be carried out at Grandma's home. Tomato Sauce Day is going to be different next year in terms of the surrounds ( 环境 ), however, I have a feeling that all else will remain unchanged.Grandma passed away 5 years ago, and Deb and her uncle bought the property (地产 ). Plans are in progress to begin building two new homes on the same place.I listened to the family discussing the activities of the day, past sauce days and memories. A love of the tradition of the day and happy memories of sharingthe day with family members who have passed away were recounted. The value of spending time together as a family was obvious.The basic process and recipe (菜谱 ) for the sauce made by Deb's family remains the same way as it is still done inGrandma's village today:The event takes place once a year.Sauce is made by the family, for the family for the year ahead.The sauce is made with just salt added to the tomatoes. This allows thefamily to use it throughout the year in various dishes as the base ingredient(食材 ). They add their own preferred ingredients in the cooking process.The women prepare and make the sauce, the men are not involved. The women start the day with a visit to the community garden to collect the tomatoes and then they began the preparation. Once the sauce is cooking, it is lunch time and time forthe family to catch up. Tomato Sauce Day is relived by the family all over the year as they open each bottle of red tomatogoodness.

It was a special pleasure to have such a 1 day after weeks of hiking, snowboarding and going crazy."Hi, dad! Want some orange juice, graybeard? " Coyote yelled(叫喊) to me much louder than 2 ."No, just bring me some chips!" I shouted back.One time, when I misheard what he said three times in a row, he 3 that I had become too old and started to hear worse. Since then, yelling at me has become a kind of family joke.Pushing everything to the limit was the basis of Coyote's character. On one hand, it helped him to achieve tasks he had to do on his own,and he did great, making me proud of him. On theother hand, this brought him 4 , as he did notknow when to stop. At such moments, I would behavesuper-fatherly, and give him advice and warnings that1.2.3.4.5.6.7.8.he usually ignored(忽视). When he wore a green haircut, I would try to convince(说服) him to paint it black. When he got a tattoo(纹身), we had a/an 5 . All these surely drove me mad, and the big fights started. It is strange but when I was a teenager,my father would act exactly the same and it took me a long time to understand him."Dad, let me show you something, " Coyote said as he was getting back. "Don't get too 6 , okay? " I sighed(叹气), because I was almost sure of what I was about to see.When he 7 his T-shirt, I saw a new tattoo: some Buddhist symbol, I guess.Coyote has been interested in Asian culture for a long time."Control yourself, graybeard, " I said to myself, trying not to yell something like,"Why the hell would you need another tattoo after you already made that huge first one? "The next moment I realized that my yelling would not 8 anything; the tattoo was already on Coyote's skin.And then I thought:” Hey, what if I get a tattoo myself? ”A.busyB.blueC.strangeD.peaceful A.neededB.expectedC.acceptedD.imagined plainedB.realizedC.jokedD.shouted A.tirednessB.honorsC.happinessD.troubles A.agreementB.argumentC.decisionD.discussion A.madB.curiousC.excitedD.nervous A.hidB.showedC.liftedD.hung A.interrupt B.change C.test D.cost三、阅读理解(共26分,每小题2分)14.A Dog's Way Home(2019)It is a 2019 Chinese-American familyadventure filmdirected by Charles Martin Smith.

His story started this past. February in the living room in Birmingham. Austin and his father, TJ Perine, were watching a program about a mother panda leaving her babies. "I told him that the babies would be homeless for aA. a churchB.a restaurantC.a poor areaD.a local shelter(1)A.B.C.D.(2)while, "TJ says. "Austin didn't know what homelessness meant, but hewas sad and wanted to know more.Seeing this as a teachable moment, TJ took Austin to theFirehouse Ministries, local shelter(救济中心) that provides housingand food for homeless men. As they drove by, they saw 25 homelessmen standing on the street corner. "Dad, they look sad, Austin said"Can we take them some food and make them smile? "Austin used his pocket money to buy each man a Burger King hamburger and handed the food out himself. Seeing what the burgers meant to the men, Austin returned the next week. He handed out burgers along with his catchphrase (口号),"Don't forget to show love!"After he returned for five weeks, word of Austin's acts of kindness spread through social-media. Burger King agreed to donate(捐赠)$1, 000 a month for a year to feed the homeless. Soon, churches and shelters began inviting Austin to give out food in poor areas. Thanks to social support, now Austin and TJ can feed 800 to 2, 000 people at once.But Austin isn't just filling bellies. He's improving the lives of those people he meets.On that first trip to Firehouse Ministries, TJ and Austin talked to a man named Raymont.The respect Ausin showed touched Raymont , and Raymont told them his story.Having known his experience, TJ helped him get a job. Finally he was able to rent an apartment. All that was made possible because a little boy took time to care.Austin's actions have now become his family's calling. His grandma Audrey Perine set up the Show Love Foundation(基金会)which helps fight homelessness. TJ left his job to oversee the foundation.As for Austin, he continues to give out food, smiles, and his message of love."It makes me feel like I'm saving the day."Austin's father took him to to see what homelessness meant.Raymont was moved when .Austin offered him a jobAustin bought him some foodAustin showed respect to himAustin listened to his story patientlyA. B. C. D.By setting up a foundation.By asking Burger King to donate.By spreading their stories through social-media. By spending time and money caring about them.16.Grandparents are respected in many human societies.But telling stories about old times and overfeedinggrandchildren seem like distinctly human traits(特征).Are these classic grandparent behaviors really limited tohuman beings? Do any animals know their grandparentsthe way people do? For most species(物种)on Earth, theanswer is NO! "Usually, there just aren't grandparentsliving anymore when an animal is born." said Mirkka Lahdenper, a biologist at the University of Turku in Finland. Even if an animal's grandparents are still alive, most species spread out to avoid competing for resources, so the chances of running into a grandparent are small.But there are a few exceptions, primarily among mammals(哺乳动物)that live in close social groups. Canadian zoologist Anne Innis Dagg described groups of langur monkeys in India in which older females lived with their daughters and grandchildren.The grandmother langurs have a particular job: they protect the group's babies against hurt from humans, dogs and other monkeys. Some female langurs even give their own grandchildren special treatment, cleaning their fur and stepping in when they play too roughly with other young.Many whale species, too, travel with their families,including both grandmothers and grandcalves. In groupsof sperm whales, according to Dagg, old females helpbabysit the group's young while their mothers dive(潜水)for food. Orca granmothers often lead their familymembers and can live for many years after they stop reproducing. In 2015, scientists suggested that these elder orcas help their grandcalves through hard times, because they remember all the best places to find food.Female elephants rule the whole family. Calves(幼崽)are typically born into groups led by their grandmothers, who can live to around 80 years old. The femaleA.die after reproducingB.teach the young to dive for foodC.have rich experienceD.enjoy travelling with grandfathers(1)A.B.C.D.(2)A.B.C.D.(3)Lahdenper found that the calves of young mothers were eight times more likely to survive if their grandmothers lived near them than if they didn't. When the calves'mothers were older and more experienced at raising babies, this beneficial "grandmother effect" disappeared even if the actual grandmothers were still around.It isn't very clear how elephant grandmothers help their inexperienced daughters,said Lahdenper . It is believed that they may help nurse their grandcalves. But Lahdenper thinks that the more likely advantage is the wisdom a grandmother elephant has got during her long lifetime.And what about grandfathers? Studies of humans in recent years have shown that a living grandfather can improve a person's mental health and well-being, said Lahdenera.But there are signs of that in the animal kingdom, she said. Male animals seldom socialize with their own children, let alone grandchildren. "Males are usually focusing on producing their own children and aren't providing so much care, " Lahdenper said.From Paragraph 3, we know that orca grandmothers .The examples of monkeys, whales and elephants show that .the "grandmother effect" lasts long in the animal worldgrandmothers shoulder great responsibilities in their familiesanimal grandfathers can improve grandcalves' mental healthmost species treat their grandparents like human beings doWhich of the following would be the best title for the passage?Animal grandparents are like human grandparentsAnimal grandmas are born group leadersAre animal grandmas given enough respect?Do any animals know their grandparents?17.Over the past decade, an increasing stress has been placed on the importance ofScience, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics ( STEM ) related classes in primary, middle and high school education in the U. S. The reason for this direction is well founded: research and test scores from the 1980s and 1990s showed that our students had fallen behind their international peers in all of these subject cation officials, teachers and parents all felt that the situation needed to be changed,and quickly. However, in the rush to play catch-up in STEM-related areas, there's one important aspect that is being neglected (忽略): the Fine and Performing Arts, particularly drama.It's long been understood that a study of drama at the primary, middle and high school level helps students improve in many areas, such as self-confidence, self-expression, communication skills, teamwork, and imagination. Most educators and parents agree that all of these are important for students to develop at any age, but it is difficult for the same parents and teachers to prioritize (优先安排)study time and classroom time to a subject like drama over subjects like Math, Physics or Computer Science. It's even more difficult for policy makers and school officials to channel funds (资金) towards classes like drama, when the skills arts subjects develop are considered 'soft skills.' When the modern world is calling out for 'hard' skills, like those needed to succeed in the teach-driven 21st century, how can they possibly prove it is reasonable to spend their funds that are becoming smaller and smaller on anything but STEM subjects?The short answer to the question 'why spend time and money on drama?' is that drama education has been scientifically proven to improve students' achievement, especially in communication skills that are very important to a STEM education. As we develop students with highly refined skills in STEM subjects, it's equally important that we train the teachers that will support continued growth in these areas. An active, communicative teacher is the best way to get students on board in the study of STEM subjects, which can be unbearably dry. The best way to develop active communication skills? Drama. The next area in which the communication skills can be developed is publication and conference presentation. Drama improve students' public speaking skills necessary for STEM students to effectively present papers in conferences and their writing skills necessary to publish papers. It's also very important for students to be able to work well with one another. In the real STEM world, almost all scientific work happens in teams. Without the " soft” people skills necessary to navigate (导航) all of these interactions, no matter how technologically skilled one becomes, he or she will be at a disadvantage without the ability to communicate and work in teams.While the nationwide trend (趋势)to focus on playing catch-up in STEM education is reasonable, practical, and absolutely necessary, it's important not to forget the huge effect arts, specifically drama education, have on the overall education of ourA.B.C.D.(1)A.afford B.direct C.create D.raise(2)A.B.C.D.(3)A.B.C.D.(4)children. The question parents, educators, and policy makes should be asking themselves is not 'can we afford to support arts education in schools?' but rather 'can we afford not to?'Why did Americans start to stress STEM related classes?Because the world has moved into a teach-driven century.Because STEM classes have long been neglected in America.Because education officials prefer STEM classes to art classes.Because US students are expected to be at an advantage in these areas.The word "channel ” in Paragraph 2 probably mean " "The third paragraph is mainly about .the benefits of drama educationthe importance of STEM learningthe abilities needed for STEM learningthe reasons to improve drama educationThe writer probably agree that .drama is more important than STEM classesdrama education has been the nationwide trendthe result of neglecting drama education is hard to bearAmerican students have made progress in playing catch-up四、任务型阅读(共10分,每题2分)18.On Sundays I took part in Tomato Sauce Day of my friend Deb's family. I amthankful for my beautiful friend to share this family milestone(里程碑)event.Nine family members, myself and a few friends, took part in the day. Sunday was a special day because it was the last time that Tomato Sauce Day event would be carried out at Grandma's home. Tomato Sauce Day is going to be different next year in terms of the surrounds (环境), however, I have a feeling that all else will remain unchanged.Grandma passed away 5 years ago, and Deb and her uncle bought the property (地产). Plans are in progress to begin building two new homes on the same place.I listened to the family discussing the activities of the day, past sauce days and memories. A love of the tradition of the day and happy memories of sharing the day with family members who have passed away were recounted. The value of spending(1)(2)(3)(4)(5)time together as a family was obvious.The basic process and recipe (菜谱)for the sauce made by Deb's family remains the same way as it is still done in Grandma's village today:●The event takes place once a year.● Sauce is made by the family, for the family for the year ahead.●The sauce is made with just salt added to the tomatoes. This allows the family to use it throughout the year in various dishes as the base ingredient(食材). They add their own preferred ingredients in the cooking process.●The women prepare and make the sauce, the men are not involved. The women start the day with a visit to the community garden to collect the tomatoes and then they began the preparation. Once the sauce is cooking, it is lunch time and time for the family to catch up. Tomato Sauce Day is relived by the family all over the year as they open each bottle of red tomato goodness. I am looking forward to trying my sauce tonight. I feel like I need to make home-made pasta to eat it!What event did the writer take part in on Sunday?Where was the event carried out this year?How do the family use the sauce?What do the women do to start the day?Why is the event a family milestone event?五、书面表达(共10分)19.假如你是李华,正在美国格林中学做交换生。

D. By spending time and money caring about them. C Grandparents are respected in many human societies.But telling stories about old times and overfeeding grandchildren seem like distinctly human traits (特征).Are these classic grandparent behaviors really limited to human beings? Do any animals know their grandparents the way people do? For most species (物种) on Earth,the answer is NO! “Usually, there just aren't grandparents living anymore when an animal is born,” , a biologist at the University of Turku in Finland. Even if an said Mirkka Lahdenperä, a biologist at the University of Turku in Finland. Even if an animal's grandparents are still alive, most species spread out to avoid competing for resources, so the chances of running into a grandparent are small. But there are a few exceptions, primarily among mammals (哺乳动物) that live in close social groups. Canadian zoologist Anne Innis Dagg described groups of langur monkeys in India in which older females lived with their daughters and grandchildren. The grandmother langurs have a particular job: they protect the group's babies against hurt from humans, dogs and other monkeys. Some female langurs even give their own grandchildren special treatment, cleaning their fur and stepping in when they play too roughly with other young. Many whale species, too, travel with their families,including both grandmothers and grandcalves. In groups of sperm whales, according to Dagg, old females help babysit the group's young while their mothers dive (潜水) for food. Orca grandmothers often lead their family members and can live for many years after they stop reproducing. In 2015, scientists suggested that these elder orcas help their grandcalves through hard times, because they remember all the best places to find food. Female elephants rule the whole family. Calves (幼崽) are typically born into groups led by their grandmothers, who can live to around 80 years old. The female elephants form close relationships, said Lahdenperä, and raise their young to survive if their together. Lahdenperä found that the calves of young mothers were eight times more likely grandmothers lived near them than if they didn't. When the calves' mothers were older and more experienced at raising babies, this beneficial “grandmother effect” disappeared even if the actual grandmothers were still around. . It is believed that It isn't very clear how elephant grandmothers help their inexperienced daughters, said Lahdenperä thinks that the more likely advantage is the wisdom a grandmother they may help nurse their grandcalves. But Lahdenperäelephant has got during her long lifetime. And what about grandfathers? Studies of humans in recent years have shown that a living grandfather can improve a . But there are signs of that in the animal kingdom, she said. Male person's mental health and well⁃being, said Lahdenperä. But there are signs of that in the animal kingdom, she said. Male animals seldom socialize with their own children, let alone grandchildren. “Males are usually focusing on producingtheir own children and aren't providing so much care,” Lahdenperä said.27. From Paragraph 3, we know that orca grandmothers _______. A. die after reproducing B. teach the young to dive for food C. have rich experience D. enjoy travelling with grandfathers 28. The examples of monkeys, whales and elephants show that __________. A. the “grandmother effect” lasts long in the animal worldB. grandmothers shoulder great responsibilities in their families C. animal grandfathers can improve grandcalves' mental health D. most species treat their grandparents like human beings do 29. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage? A. Animal grandparents are like human grandparents B. Animal grandmas are born group leaders C. Are animal grandmas given enough respect? D. Do any animals know their grandparents? D Over the past decade, an increasing stress has been placed on the importance of Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) related classes in primary, middle and high school education in the U S. The reason for this direction Mathematics (STEM) related classes in primary, middle and high school education in the U S. The reason for this direction is well founded: research and test scores from the 1980s and 1990s showed that our students had fallen behind their international peers in all of these subject areas. Education officials, teachers and parents all felt that the situation needed to be changed, and quickly. However, in the rush to play catch-up in STEM-related areas, there's one important aspect that is being neglected (忽略): the Fine and Performing Arts, particularly drama. It's long been understood that a study of drama at the primary, middle and high school level helps students improve in many areas, such as self-confidence, self-expression, communication skills, teamwork, and imagination. Most educators and parents agree that all of these are important for students to develop at any age, but it is difficult for the same parents and teachers to prioritize (优先安排) study time and classroom time to a subject like drama over subjects like Math, Physics or Computer Science. It's even more difficult for policy makers and school officials to channel funds (资金) towards classes like drama, when the skills arts subjects develop are considered “soft skills.” When the modern world is calling out for “hard” skills, like those needed to succeed in the tech⁃driven 21st century, how can they possibly prove it is reasonable to spend their funds that are becoming smaller and smaller on anything but STEM subjects?  education has been The short answer to the question “why spend time and money on drama?” is that dramascientifically proven to improve students' achievement, especially in communication skills that are very important to a STEM education. As we develop students with highly refined skills in STEM subjects, it's equally important that we train the teachers that will support continued growth in these areas. An active, communicative teacher is the best way to get students on board in the study of STEM subjects, which can be unbearably dry. The best way to develop active communication skills? Drama. The next area in which the communication skills can be developed is publication and conference presentation. Drama improves students' public speaking skills necessary for STEM students to effectively present papers in conferences and their writing skills necessary to publish papers. It's also very important for students to be able to work well with one another. In the real STEM world, almost all scientific work happens in teams. Without the “ soft ” people skills necessary to navigate (导航) all of these interactions, no matter how technologically skilled one becomes, he or she will be at a disadvantage without the ability to communicate and work in teams. While the nationwide trend (趋势) to focus on playing catch⁃up in STEM education is reasonable, practical, and absolutely necessary, it's important not to forget the huge effect arts, specifically drama education, have on the overall question parents, educators, and policy makers should be asking themselves is not “can we education of our children. The afford to support arts education in schools?” but rather “can we afford not to?”30. Why did Americans start to stress STEM related classes? A. Because the world has moved into a tech⁃driven century. B. Because STEM classes have long been neglected in America. C. Because education officials prefer STEM classes to art classes. D. Because US students are expected to be at an advantage in these areas. 31. The word “channel” in Paragraph 2 probably mean “ ”.A. afford B. direct C. create D. raise 32. The third paragraph is mainly about . A. the benefits of drama education B. the importance of STEM learning C. the abilities needed for STEM learning D. the reasons to improve drama education 33. The writer probably agrees that . A. drama is more important than STEM classes B. drama education has been the nationwide trend C. the result of neglecting drama education is hard to bear D. American students have made progress in playing catch⁃up 四、阅读短文, 根据短文内容回答问题。(共10 分, 每小题2 分) On Sunday I took part in Tomato Sauce Day of my friend Deb's family. I am thankful for my beautiful friend to shar

Dad said."So,why didn't you tell me about that problem in the first place?" Sally asked.Dad laughed."Where's the fun in that?If you give a man a fish,he'll eat for a day.But if you teach a man to fish,he'll eat for a lifetime."Sally said,"I see.Anyway,designing is half the fun !"Dad smiled."Good.Sometimes,learning happens during the process.We learn how to do something right by doing it a few times first and making mistakes along the way."That encouraged Sally and she worked even harder.When she showed Dad her new go-kart,he nodded with pride.Finally came the race.Sally wasn't worried about whether she would win-in her mind,she had already won,by building something better than ever before.24.Sally thought of building a go-kart to .()A.practice driving B.enter for a race C.play with friends D.do some research 25.What did Sally's dad ask her to do after she built the go-kart?()A.To have a test drive.B.To take a good rest.C.To give it a cool name.D.To paint it light blue.26.Sally's story mainly tells us that .()A.winning a race is important B.fishing brings us a lot of funC.driving experience is necessary D.learning happens during the processCSometimes it seems that time is flying.Perhaps it doesn't need to feel this way.Our experience of time can be possibly changed.By understanding the psychological (心理学的)processes behind our different experiences of time,we might be able to slow down time a little.One basic law of psychological time is that time seems to slow down when we're exposed(接触)to new environments and experiences.The law is caused by the relationship between our experience of time and the amount of information our minds process.The more information our minds take in,the slower time seems to pass.It follows,then,that we have different experiences of time in different situations.In some situations,our life is full of new experiences.Our minds process a lot of information and time seems to slow down.In other situations,we have fewer new experiences and the world around us becomes more and more familiar (熟悉的).We become insensitive to our experience,which means we process less information,and time seems to speed up.How can we slow down time?Here are two suggestions.Firstly,since we know that familiarity makes time pass faster,we can expose ourselves to as manynew experiences as possible.We can give ourselves new challenges,meet new people,and expose our minds to new information,hobbies and skills.This will increase the amount of information our minds process and expand (增加)our experience of time.Secondly,and perhaps most effectively,we can give our whole attention to an experience-to what we are seeing,feeling,tasting,smelling or hearing.This means living through our senses rather than through our thoughts.For example,on the way home,focus your attention outside of yourself,instead of thinking about the problems you have to deal with.Look at the sky,or at the buildings you pass,traveling among them.This open attitude to your experiences helps take in more information and also has a time-expanding effect.To a certain degree,we can understand and control our experience of time passing.It's possible for us to slow down time by expanding our experience of time.27.According to the writer,we can expand our experience of time by .()A.going to bed on time B.traveling to new placesC.having dinner as usual D.printing the same materials28.What can we learn from the passage?()A.Being familiar with the world around helps us get more information.B.Understanding psychological time makes life pass more quickly.C.We can take in more information by living through our senses.D.We should build a stronger relationship between time and us.29.Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?()A.Slow Down Time B.Only Time Will TellC.Race Against Time D.Time Will Not Come TwiceDHow Much Can We Afford to Forget?In 2018,Science magazine asked some young scientists what schools shouldteach students.Most said students should spend less time memorizing facts andhave more space for creative activities.As the Internet grows more powerful,students can access (获得)knowledge easily.Why should they be required tocarry so much of it around in their heads?Civilizations(文明)develop through forgetting life skills that were once necessary.In the Agricultural (农业的)Age,a farmer could afford to forget hunting skills.When societies industrialized,the knowledge of farming could be safe to forget.Nowadays,smart machines give us access to most human knowledge.It seems that we no longer need to remember most things.Does it matter?Researchers have recognized several problems that may happen.For one,human beings have biases (偏见),and smart machines are likely to increase our biases.Many people believe smart machines are necessarily correct and objective,but machines are trained through a repeated testing and scoring process.In the process,human beings still decide on the correct answers.Another problem relates to the ease of accessing information.When there were no computers,efforts were required to get knowledge from other people,or go to the library.We know what knowledge lies in other brains or books,and what lies in our heads.But today,the Internet gives us the information we need quickly.This can lead to the mistaken belief-the knowledge we found was part of what we knew all along.In a new civilization rich in machine intelligence,we have easy access to smart memory networks where information is stored.But dependency on a network suggests possibilities of being harmed easily.The collapse of any of the networks of relations our well-being(健康)depends upon,such as food and energy,would produce terrible results.Without food we get hungry;without energy we feel cold.And it is through widespread loss of memory that civilizations are at risk of falling into a dark age.We forget old ways to free up time and space for new skills.As long as the older forms of knowledge are stored somewhere in our networks,and can be found when we need them,perhaps they're not really forgotten.Still,as time goes on,we gradually but unquestionably become strangers to future people.30.Why are smart machines likely to increase our biases?()A.Because they go off course in testing and scoring.B.Because we control the training process on them,C.Because we offer them too much information.D.Because they overuse the provided answers.31.The ease of accessing information from the Internet .()A.frees us from making efforts to learn new skillsB.prevents civilizations from being lost at a high speedC.misleads us into thinking we already knew the knowledgeD.separates the facts we have from those in the smart machines32.The word "collapse" in Paragraph 5 probably means “”.()A.a sudden failure B.the basic rule C.a disappointing start D.the gradual development 33.What is the writer's main purpose in writing this passage?A.To question about the standards of information storage.B.To discuss our problems of communication with machines.C.To stress the importance of improving our memorizing ability.D.To remind us of the risk of depending on machines to remember.四、阅读短文,根据短文内容回答问题.(共10分,每小题2分)Huge Waves Destroying Arctic Ice Faster than ExpectedIce covers much of the Arctic Ocean(北冰洋).Some pieces of ice are huge,like moving islands.As temperatures have increased,however,some of the ice has begun to disappear.Scientists have discovered huge waves(海浪)in the arctic waters.The waves were discovered by accident in May,2010.Scientist Aleksey Marchenko and his students set out on a trip.They wanted to study the icy waters.On May 2,the ship traveled east and stopped next to a largechunk of ice.around 50 miles from the small island of Hopen.Marchenko prepared to lead his students out onto the Ice"We were ready to go but when I went out,I discovered many cracks(裂缝)around," he remembers.He decided to move the ship deeper into the ice to keep safe.The farther in they went,he thought,the harder the ice would become.As they pushed forward,however,the ship experienced small waves,and then bigger ones.Soon,the waves broke up the ice around the ship into thousands of smaller pieces.Within an hour,Marchenko and his team saw a wave that was about 13 feet high.The ship's navigation(航行)system finally recorded the largest waves.They were more than 20 feet in height.The waves were so strong that they forced huge pieces of ice to jump up and down,breaking the ice into smaller pieces within just one hour.Scientists had never imagined that the process could happen so fast.The waves in these areas used to be small.The speed and force of the huge waves there makes it impossible to know in advance when they are coming.That could be dangerous for navigators and local communities who are unprepared for huge waves or depend on sea ice to protect them.Wildlife like polar bears and walruses that depend on sea ice to live is also in danger.Some scientists think people will soon see even bigger waves in these icy waters.As waves break up ice,the seas will become more open,and the waves will get even stronger.There are stormy times ahead.34.When did Marchenko and his students discover huge waves in the arcticwaters?35.Why did Marchenko and his students set out on the trip?()36.What did Marchenko decide to do to keep safe?()37.How high were the largest waves recorded by the navigation system?()38.What is Paragraph 7 mainly about?()书面表达(共10分)五、文段表达(10分)39.从下面两个题目中任选一题,根据中文和英文提示,完成一篇不少于50词的文段写作.文中已给出内容不计入总词数.所给提示词语仅供选用.请不要写出你的校名和姓名.题目①假如你是李华,你们学校正在开展"安全月"宣传活动,倡议大家制作关于安全教育的主题海报,你们班交换生Peter给你发邮件询问相关事情.请用英语回复一封邮件,告诉他海报上交的时间,并分享你设计海报的一些想法.提示词语:design,safety

Sally asked.Dad laughed."Where's the fun in that?If you give a man a fish,he'll eat for a day.But if you teach a man to fish,he'll eat for a lifetime."Sally said,"I see.Anyway,designing is half the fun !"Dad smiled."Good.Sometimes,learning happens during the process.We learn how to do something right by doing it a few times first and making mistakes along the way."That encouraged Sally and she worked even harder.When she showed Dad her new go-kart,he nodded with pride.Finally came the race.Sally wasn't worried about whether she would win-in her mind,she had already won,by building something better than ever before.24.Sally thought of building a go-kart to .()A.practice driving B.enter for a race C.play with friends D.do some research 25.What did Sally's dad ask her to do after she built the go-kart?()A.To have a test drive.B.To take a good rest.C.To give it a cool name.D.To paint it light blue.26.Sally's story mainly tells us that .()A.winning a race is important B.fishing brings us a lot of funC.driving experience is necessary D.learning happens during the process【知识考点】人物故事类阅读.【思路分析】这篇文章,通过Sally制作卡丁车的小故事,告诉我们凡事要去动手做,在做的过程中,我们一定会有所收获.【解答过程】24.B 细节理解题.线索句为:This spring she thought of building a go-kart to enter for the Go-Go Race.意为"今年春天她打算做一个卡丁车参加卡丁车赛."结合句意可知,Sally做卡丁车的目的,就是为了参加比赛,故选:B.25.A 细节理解题.线索句为:Over three weekends of hard work,Sally turned her design into a real,working go-kart and painted it light blue.Dad asked her to take it for a test drive.意为"在三个多星期的艰苦工作之后,Sally把她的设计变成了一辆真正的、能够运转的卡丁车,并且把它涂成了浅蓝色.父亲叫她带它做第一次试驾.",结合句意可知,在她做完了卡丁车之后,她的父亲叫她测试驾驶,故选:A.26.D 主旨大意题.线索句为:Good.Sometimes,learning happens during the process.意为"很好,有时候,在作事的过程中,我们就会学到东西."结合句意可知,学习发生在作事的过程之中,故选:D.【总结归纳】面对此类试题,要擅长从文中找出解答的线索,同时,要掌握全文大意,结合文意进行作答.CSometimes it seems that time is flying.Perhaps it doesn't need to feel this way.Our experience of time can be possibly changed.By understanding the psychological (心理学的)processes behind our different experiences of time,we might be able to slow down time a little.One basic law of psychological time is that time seems to slow down when we're exposed(接触)to new environments and experiences.The law is caused by the relationship between our experience of time and the amount of information our minds process.The more information our minds take in,the slower time seems to pass.It follows,then,that we have different experiences of time in different situations.In some situations,。

Ava told her parents. "In school, we've been working on persuasive essays(议论文). My teacher said that in order to make people accept your idea, you have to have reasons and evidence (证据). My essay is called Why I Am Responsible and Ready for a Cell Phone."It had been a 13 for months. Ava's parents told her she couldn't have a cell phone until she was thirteen."A cell phone isn't all fun and games," they would say. "And, it is too big a(an) 14 for you to have one right now."But then, a week ago, Ava started working on writing persuasive essays at school.It was like lightning had gone off in Ava's brain.She'd worked on her essay for a week, coming up with all the reasons why she should have a cell phone. She even looked up some 15 to help as supporting evidence. Forty percent(百分之……) of children in her age group have been introduced to cell phones. Fifty-three percent of parents in the country think it's 16 for a child to own a cell phone at her age."Well, Ava, that does make sense," her dad said. "We'll talk it over." Ava wanted to jump up and down. But she was trying to show she was mature (成熟的) enough for a cell phone. So, she just smiled, nodded, and 17 .After a full week, her mom said, "Alright Ava, we are impressed by how much work you put into that essay and how mature you have become. So, you can have a cell phone.""Really?" Ava cried out. She couldn't wait to show her friends and join their chat group. She spent a good hour that first night 18 with them, discussing their weekend plan.On the weekend, Ava went to see a movie with her friends. It was not until Ava got home that she realized something was seriously wrong. Her phone was gone."Did you talk to the theater manager? Maybe someone 19 it in!" her mom said Ava breathed in. "I didn't …"In the end, her parents drove her back to the theater. Luckily, the phone was in the lost-and-found box.Ava thought that maybe she wasn't 20 to have a phone just yet.13.

Emma really wanted to help her team win a trophy.She put on her clothes, picked up her baseball glove and talked to herself, "I hope I get a hit today."Emma was a great hitter in practice, but she had never hit a ball during a game. She almost always struck out(三振出局).On the way to the field, Emma kept her head down and was silent."Are you feeling okay, Emma?" her mom asked."I really don't want to strike out," Emma said."Don't worry! Just keep your eye on the ball. You can do it," Emma's mom said.When the game started, Emma cheered loudly for her teammates. She caught a fly ball in the outfield to make an out, and everyone cheered for her. Emma struck out when it was her turn to bat(击球), but her team was doing well.The game was tied, and it was her team's last chance to score. Frankie was up first—he hit the ball hard and managed to run to third base. That meant he could score and win the game if the next batter got a good hit. Next up was Henry, and then Kara, but they both struck out. Emma was next up.Emma could feel all the eyes on her as she stepped up to the plate. She closed her eyes and swung(挥) hard, but missed."Keep your eye on the ball, Emma!" her mom called from the stands.Emma nodded and stepped back into the batter's box. This time she kept her eyes wide open and took a deep breath before she swung the bat.Crack!Emma hit the ball! Frankie ran home and they won!"Great game, everyone!" said Emma's coach later. "Here is your trophy."Emma held the shiny trophy high in the air. She felt very proud of her whole team.Most of all, she couldn't wait to show her mom the big trophy.21. On the way to the field, Emma felt ______.A. shyB. proudC. angryD. worried22. What happened after Henry and Kara struck out?A. Frankie scored at once.B. The game stopped for a while.C. Emma stepped up to the plate.D. The team lost the chance to win.23. At the end of the game, Emma was able to get a good hit because _______.A. she was praised by her coachB. she fixed her attention on the ballC. her friends encouraged her to do wellD. her mom helped her practice baseballBIn many ways, our memories define(定义) our sense of self. You first have a sense of yourself early in life, perhaps as young as 18 months, when you recognize that the little baby you see in the mirror is really you, and not another child. As you progress through childhood and into teenage years, you start to develop a set of views about your identity(身份), including how your body looks and performs, your abilities, your personality and your place in society.While we are growing up, we start to create our own descriptions about the events we have gone through, or what I call the "life story". Our identities are shaped by our life stories, as the memories of these stories gradually become a part of our sense of self. Of all these memories, the most important are "self-defining memories". They are remembered most clearly and can help to build up our overall sense of self most greatly.Learning to recognize your own self-defining memories can help you gain important insights about your identity. The easiest way to discover your own self-defining memories is by thinking about the events in your life that you are most likely to tell other people about when they say "tell me a little about yourself".However, self-defining memories are always changing as you experience more events. They may vary according to your age and what you care about in present life.In a study, scientists compared older adults with college students. They found that older adults were more likely to feel more positively(正面地) about their self-defining memories, even if the memories were of events that were negative in nature. A similar study also suggests that older adults have found ways to make sense out of their life stories. They turn memories of troubling events into positive stories, and in this way, they make peace with their past struggles(挣扎). For younger adults, troubling events cause them to experience more pain when they recall them. As scientists have discovered, a self-defining memory does not have to be positive in order for you to grow from it. It's not the event, but the meaning you make out of the event, that affects(影响) your sense of well-being.Discovering your self-defining memories is an important step in dealing with your life experiences. By recognizing and making sense out of past events, your identity can continue to grow and improve how you see yourself, both now, and in the future.24. What can we learn from the passage?A. Our self-defining memories have little to do with age.B. Our own descriptions of life experiences shape our identity.C. We should share positive life stories when introducing ourselves.D. We start to have self-defining memories when we are 18 months old.25. From the studies mentioned in Paragraph 5, we know ______.A. important events can be changed by timeB. older adults have few troubling life eventsC. making sense out of memories helps us to growD. self-discovery happens during positive experiences26. Which would be the best title for the passage?A. Self-defining memories: How others get to know youB. Self-defining memories: A collection of pleasant memoriesC. Self-defining memories: A great way to understand yourselfD. Self-defining memories: Describing your best self to the worldCAwe is the feeling we get in the presence of something vast that challenges our understanding of the world, like looking up at millions of stars in the night sky or shaking hands with a basketball superstar. When people feel awe, they may use other words to talk about the experience, such as wonder, amazement or excitement.We often think about awe when we experience uncommon and extraordinary events, such as viewing a sunrise over the Grand Canyon or watching Olympians break world records. But when scientists study people's experiences of awe, they suggest awe is also found in everyday life—watching a gingko tree change from green to yellow, or seeing a stranger give food to a homeless person.The feeling of awe affects the way we view ourselves. The experience of awe can have a deep influence on our mental(心理的) health, by allowing us to put our worries into perspective. When we are in the presence of something vast and indescribable, we feel unimportant, and so do our worries. The experience of awe lifts us out of the common practical thoughts that control our daily lives. and it allows us to have inner peace.In areas where the population can easily get to beautiful green spaces, people report greater happiness and goodwill toward others. A study showed that older adults who took weekly 15-minute outdoor walks in nature for eight weeks reported increased positive emotions and less pain in their daily lives.People in awe are more likely to show kindness and feel a greater sense of connection to others and the world. In moments of awe, we direct ourselves from the sense that we are solely(独自地) in control of our own future to the feeling we are part of a community. When we give less attention to our own goals and needs, we are more likely to be able to notice others and what they may be experiencing.In sum, awe arises when we run into the wonders of life and leads to a disappearing of the self. Stepping outside of oneself is a valuable skill. It is possible to find awe-inspiring moments in all different places. Therefore, actively look for the experiences that feed your own hunger for awe, be it through admiring the trees in your neighborhood, or seeing the goodness in others. Take the time to slow down and open your mind to those things which you do not fully understand. You will be the better for it—and, as your feelings of awe spread through acts of kindness, so will the rest of us.27. What can we learn from the passage?A. Meeting strangers often brings feelings of excitement.B. Even common daily events can lead to the feeling of awe.C. Uncommon events are usually related to the beauty of nature.D. Greater happiness can result from giving ourselves more attention.28. The words “put our worries into perspective” in Paragraph 3 probably mean “________”.A. get used to our worries completelyB. deal with our worries as soon as possibleC. share our worries with family and close friendsD. understand the actual importance of our worries29. A person who has just experienced awe will probably ______.A. readily reach out to those in needB. report feeling more self-importantC. separate himself from the rest of a groupD. be unwilling to work with others on a team30. What is the writer's main purpose in writing this passage?A. To show us ways to understand what awe is.B. To explain to us how awe can improve health.C. To encourage us to be ready to experience awe.D. To advise us to free ourselves from the fear of awe.四、任务型阅读-简答(本大题共1小题,共10.0分)31.No artist requiredOne day, Ammaar Reshi was playing around with a chatbot called ChatGPT, a computer program using artificial intelligence (AI) to copy the way human beings think and write. Reshi then came up with an idea to use the AI program to make a children's book. The story of the book camefrom a conversation Reshi had with the chatbot, about a girl called Alice. And then he used another AI program, Midjourney, to make illustrations(插图)for the book. Midjourney is a new AI-powered tool that can turn words into amazing artwork, like pictures.The book, Alice and Sparkle, was done in just a couple of days. "Anyone can use these AI tools," Reshi said. "And they're not hard to use."Reshi posted about the book online after it was finished. Heated argument about it started at once. Some people liked the lovely story as well as the beautiful illustrations and praised Reshi for his smartness. But not everyone welcomed the birth of the special book. Among them, artists were especially critical of it. They think the way the illustrations were made was a big problem. Midjourney searches through millions of pictures created by artists on the Internet. And then it manages to find patterns(式样) in those pictures and create new ones based on the patterns. Artists often upload their work online for people to enjoy. But Midjourney could be using their work without permission(允许)."The main problem to me about AI is that it was taken from artists'work," illustrator Adriane Tsai says. "It's our creations, our personal styles that we did not permit them to use."Many artists and writers are nervous about the future. Will people pay for their work if it can be done cheaper by using AI programs?Some companies are already choosing AI over human talent. The San Francisco Ballet used pictures made with Midjourney to improve its production of the classic The Nutcracker. At a funny performance club, an AI-powered robot told jokes that made people laugh out loud. Journalist Abraham Riesman said, "It's deeply troubling to see people looking for cheap alternatives(替代品) to actual human writing."Reshi says technology companies should protect artists and writers whose work might be used by AI tools. He suggests that they should involve artists and writers in the process of creation.(1) What is Midjourney?________________________________(2) How long did it take the AI programs to create the book Alice and Sparkle?____________________________________________________________________________ _____(3) What is Reshi's advice to technology companies to protect artists and writers?____________________________________________________________________________ ________(4) Do you think it is a good idea to use AI programs in the process of creation? Why or whynot?(Give at least two reasons)________________________________________________________________________________ ______________五、信息匹配(本大题共3小题,共6.0分)下面的材料分别介绍了三种趣味环保活动,请根据左栏中所描述的Peter, Lily 和Michael 三个人各自的特点,帮助他们选择合适的活动,并将活动对应的序号A、B、C 填写在相应的位置上。

2019年北京市西城区中考一模英语阅读译文

2019年北京市西城区一模英语阅读译文Like many other people who speak more than one language, I often have the sense that I’m a slightly different person in each of my languages—more confident in English, more relaxed in French, more emotional in Czech. Is it possible that, along with these differences, my moralcompass also points in somewhat different directions depending on the language I’m using atthe time?跟会讲多种语言的人差不多,我往往有同感:每使用一种语言,我也会略有变化——讲英语时显得自信一些,讲法语时就觉得轻松好多,讲捷克语就情意绵绵了。

那会不会这样啊——由于现场使用的语言不同会呈现如此的差异,那么我的道德取向是否也是应时而变的啊?Psychologists who study moral judgments have become very interested in this question. The findings of several recent studies suggest that when people are faced with moral dilemmas, they do indeed respond differently when considering them in a foreign language than whe n using their native tongue.这个问题早就引起研究道德判定心理学家们的兴趣。

Rob knew them so well that he became careless.One night, while camping alone, Rob reached out to pick up a large piece of wood and felt something bite his arm. Rob didn't think much about it. But a little later, his arm began to ache. When he looked closely at it, he immediately saw two teeth marks in the skin of his arm. He realized that a poisonous snake had bitten him. His pulse became rapid.Rob's mind raced as he thought about what he had to do to survive. Rob knew that he should remain calm, stay still, keep the injured arm below the level of his heart and avoid eating or drinking anything, especially anything with alcohol in it. He also knew that cutting the wound to suck the poison out was a bad idea.He used his two-way radio to call for help. As he waited, he washed the bite with soap and water. To help slow the spread of the venom(毒液), he wrapped a bandage two inches above the bite and made it loose enough to slip a finger under it so that it would not cut off the flow of blood. Then, after about half an hour, his friend Mike arrived. Mike took Rob to the local hospital, where Rob was given antivenin—an antidote for snake venom.Rob still enjoys camping, but he is now very careful not to disturb snakes.51. Where is the passage most likely to have been taken from?A. A travel magazine.B. A book review.C. A lesson plan.D. A news report.52. How did Rob realize that he had been bitten by a snake?A. His pulse became rapid.B. His arms began to ache.C. His skin immediately turned dark.D. Teeth marks appeared in his arm.53. How can we deal with snake wounds according to the passage?A. Stay calm and don't move.B. Run for help as fast as possible.C. Drink alcohol to stop the poison.D. Cut the wound and suck the poison out.54. The underlined word "antidote" in Para. 4 probably means something that is used to_____.A. reduce the painB. resist the poisonC. make people calmD. kill the virusCGingerbread Houses: A Popular, Classic Holiday TreatYou can cook with it. You can make candy from it. You can put it into drinks or take it as medicine. Ginger has many uses, but none as beautiful as when it is used in a gingerbread house.Past and presentGinger—he key part of gingerbread and the houses themselves—has a long history. It is believed that ginger was used as early as 2,000 B. C. in China. Gingerbread houses were first written about during the 15th century. But it was the 19'th century fairy tale "Hansel and Gretel" that started the trend. As European immigrants made their way around the world, so did gingerbread houses!One example occurred in the town of Belleville in the 1850s. As large numbers of German immigrants moved there, many brought along their gingerbread house recipes. Today, during the holidays, Belleville hosts a "Gingerbread Walk" through its downtown area. Along the path, shop owners display beautifully-made gingerbread houses and other gingerbread creations. The event allows visitors and locals alike to enjoy Belleville's tastiest tradition.The world's largestIn 2006, Roger Pelcher constructed the world's largest gingerbread house in Bloomington, Minn. Measuring over 60 feet tall, the house took Pelcher's team l,700 hours to complete. To achieve the world record, Guinness World Records said 95 percent of the outside had to be eatable. So Pelcher used 14, 250 pounds of gingerbread and over a ton of candy on the house! Winning housesAt Christmas time, people from Sweden to Seattle enter their creations in gingerbread house contests. Winners receive prizes for the most difficult to build, most creative, most beautiful as well as other categories. But winning contests isn't the main reason why making these houses is so popular. The wonderful smell as the gingerbread bakes and the joy of eating it are the real reasons!DIYOnline directions and ready-to-assemble kits make creating gingerbread houses easier than ever before. You can make them as simple or as complex as you choose, Experience a "taste" of the holidays with your own gingerbread house this year!55.

The gingerbread house made by Pelcher failed to achieve the Guinness World Records.DBASE jumping is a very dangerous sport of using a parachute to jump from fixed objects. It has become popular with those individuals who are constantly looking for new and exciting things to do. Because BASE jumping is very dangerous, it is sometimes considered a “stunt”(绝技)or "daredevil activity" rather than a sport.BASE stands for the four categories of fixed launch points for a BASE jump: building, antennae, span(bridge), and earth (cliff). "BASE numbers" are awarded to those jumpers who have completed at least one jump from each of the categories. A BASE number qualifies a participant as a recognized BASE jumper.Carl Boenish made the first official BASE jump from the Troll Wall in Norway in 1984. Unfortunately, Carl Boenish was killed two days after that first BASE jump as he tried to make another BASE jump off the Troll Wall. Improvements in equipment have helped reduce BASE jumping deaths. Still, many people, including experienced and skilled jumpers, are still injured or killed every year. There are no reliable statistics on the number of people killed or injured while BASE jumping, but it is certainly more dangerous than skydiving. Because of the high death rate, BASE jumping has not gained widespread acceptance. This is also one of the reasons that it is illegal in many countries, A BASE jumper needs to get permission to use both the place from which the jump starts and the landing area. Some places, like the Troll Wall, are banned because of the high level of danger. However, many sites are still open to jumpers.BASE jumping is something that teenagers shouldn't do. It can easily injure or kill them. It also requires a lot of time, energy and money. As parents expect their children to have good judgment, they should think hard before they do anything that is really dangerous.58. What is the author's attitude towards BASE jumping?A. It should be banned.B. It should be encouraged.C. The jumpers should be careful.D. More sites should be open to jumpers.59. The author shows his viewpoint by ________.A. listing the numbersB. using a famous sayingC. explaining causes and effectsD. showing the facts and examples60. Which of the following is true?A. Carl Boenish died in the first BASE jump from the Troll Wall in 1984.B. Even experienced jumpers can be injured or killed in a certain jump.C. Teens' parents don't support BASE jumping because it costs money.D. A BASE jumper can freely choose any place to start the jump.四、单项填空(共15分,每小题1分)21A22B23D24C25B26D27C28B29 A 30 B 31D32C33C34D35 A。

It was a special pleasure to have such a 1 day after weeks of hiking, snowboarding and going crazy."Hi, dad! Want some orange juice, graybeard? " Coyote yelled(叫喊) to me much louder than 2 ."No, just bring me some chips!" I shouted back.One time, when I misheard what he said three times in a row, he 3 that I had become too old and started to hear worse. Since then, yelling at me has become a kind of family joke.Pushing everything to the limit was the basis of Coyote's character. On one hand, it helped him to achieve tasks he had to do on his own,and he did great, making me proud of him. On theother hand, this brought him 4 , as he did notknow when to stop. At such moments, I would behavesuper-fatherly, and give him advice and warnings that1.2.3.4.5.6.7.8.he usually ignored(忽视). When he wore a green haircut, I would try to convince(说服) him to paint it black. When he got a tattoo(纹身), we had a/an 5 . All these surely drove me mad, and the big fights started. It is strange but when I was a teenager,my father would act exactly the same and it took me a long time to understand him."Dad, let me show you something, " Coyote said as he was getting back. "Don't get too 6 , okay? " I sighed(叹气), because I was almost sure of what I was about to see.When he 7 his T-shirt, I saw a new tattoo: some Buddhist symbol, I guess.Coyote has been interested in Asian culture for a long time."Control yourself, graybeard, " I said to myself, trying not to yell something like,"Why the hell would you need another tattoo after you already made that huge first one?

His story started this past. February in the living room in Birmingham. Austin and his father, TJ Perine, were watching a program about a mother panda leaving her babies. "I told him that the babies would be homeless for aA. a churchB.a restaurantC.a poor areaD.a local shelter(1)A.B.C.D.(2)while, "TJ says. "Austin didn't know what homelessness meant, but hewas sad and wanted to know more.Seeing this as a teachable moment, TJ took Austin to theFirehouse Ministries, local shelter(救济中心) that provides housingand food for homeless men. As they drove by, they saw 25 homelessmen standing on the street corner. "Dad, they look sad, Austin said"Can we take them some food and make them smile? "Austin used his pocket money to buy each man a Burger King hamburger and handed the food out himself. Seeing what the burgers meant to the men, Austin returned the next week. He handed out burgers along with his catchphrase (口号),"Don't forget to show love!"After he returned for five weeks, word of Austin's acts of kindness spread through social-media. Burger King agreed to donate(捐赠)$1, 000 a month for a year to feed the homeless. Soon, churches and shelters began inviting Austin to give out food in poor areas. Thanks to social support, now Austin and TJ can feed 800 to 2, 000 people at once.But Austin isn't just filling bellies. He's improving the lives of those people he meets.On that first trip to Firehouse Ministries, TJ and Austin talked to a man named Raymont.The respect Ausin showed touched Raymont , and Raymont told them his story.Having known his experience, TJ helped him get a job. Finally he was able to rent an apartment. All that was made possible because a little boy took time to care.Austin's actions have now become his family's calling. His grandma Audrey Perine set up the Show Love Foundation(基金会)which helps fight homelessness. TJ left his job to oversee the foundation.As for Austin, he continues to give out food, smiles, and his message of love."It makes me feel like I'm saving the day."Austin's father took him to to see what homelessness meant.Raymont was moved when .Austin offered him a jobAustin bought him some foodAustin showed respect to himAustin listened to his story patientlyA. B. C. D.By setting up a foundation.By asking Burger King to donate.By spreading their stories through social-media. By spending time and money caring about them.16.Grandparents are respected in many human societies.But telling stories about old times and overfeedinggrandchildren seem like distinctly human traits(特征).Are these classic grandparent behaviors really limited tohuman beings? Do any animals know their grandparentsthe way people do? For most species(物种)on Earth, theanswer is NO! "Usually, there just aren't grandparentsliving anymore when an animal is born." said Mirkka Lahdenper, a biologist at the University of Turku in Finland. Even if an animal's grandparents are still alive, most species spread out to avoid competing for resources, so the chances of running into a grandparent are small.But there are a few exceptions, primarily among mammals(哺乳动物)that live in close social groups. Canadian zoologist Anne Innis Dagg described groups of langur monkeys in India in which older females lived with their daughters and grandchildren.The grandmother langurs have a particular job: they protect the group's babies against hurt from humans, dogs and other monkeys. Some female langurs even give their own grandchildren special treatment, cleaning their fur and stepping in when they play too roughly with other young.Many whale species, too, travel with their families,including both grandmothers and grandcalves. In groupsof sperm whales, according to Dagg, old females helpbabysit the group's young while their mothers dive(潜水)for food. Orca granmothers often lead their familymembers and can live for many years after they stop reproducing. In 2015, scientists suggested that these elder orcas help their grandcalves through hard times, because they remember all the best places to find food.Female elephants rule the whole family. Calves(幼崽)are typically born into groups led by their grandmothers, who can live to around 80 years old. The femaleA.die after reproducingB.teach the young to dive for foodC.have rich experienceD.enjoy travelling with grandfathers(1)A.B.C.D.(2)A.B.C.D.(3)Lahdenper found that the calves of young mothers were eight times more likely to survive if their grandmothers lived near them than if they didn't. When the calves'mothers were older and more experienced at raising babies, this beneficial "grandmother effect" disappeared even if the actual grandmothers were still around.It isn't very clear how elephant grandmothers help their inexperienced daughters,said Lahdenper . It is believed that they may help nurse their grandcalves. But Lahdenper thinks that the more likely advantage is the wisdom a grandmother elephant has got during her long lifetime.And what about grandfathers? Studies of humans in recent years have shown that a living grandfather can improve a person's mental health and well-being, said Lahdenera.But there are signs of that in the animal kingdom, she said. Male animals seldom socialize with their own children, let alone grandchildren. "Males are usually focusing on producing their own children and aren't providing so much care, " Lahdenper said.From Paragraph 3, we know that orca grandmothers .The examples of monkeys, whales and elephants show that .the "grandmother effect" lasts long in the animal worldgrandmothers shoulder great responsibilities in their familiesanimal grandfathers can improve grandcalves' mental healthmost species treat their grandparents like human beings doWhich of the following would be the best title for the passage?Animal grandparents are like human grandparentsAnimal grandmas are born group leadersAre animal grandmas given enough respect?Do any animals know their grandparents?17.Over the past decade, an increasing stress has been placed on the importance ofScience, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics ( STEM ) related classes in primary, middle and high school education in the U. S. The reason for this direction is well founded: research and test scores from the 1980s and 1990s showed that our students had fallen behind their international peers in all of these subject cation officials, teachers and parents all felt that the situation needed to be changed,and quickly. However, in the rush to play catch-up in STEM-related areas, there's one important aspect that is being neglected (忽略): the Fine and Performing Arts, particularly drama.It's long been understood that a study of drama at the primary, middle and high school level helps students improve in many areas, such as self-confidence, self-expression, communication skills, teamwork, and imagination. Most educators and parents agree that all of these are important for students to develop at any age, but it is difficult for the same parents and teachers to prioritize (优先安排)study time and classroom time to a subject like drama over subjects like Math, Physics or Computer Science. It's even more difficult for policy makers and school officials to channel funds (资金) towards classes like drama, when the skills arts subjects develop are considered 'soft skills.' When the modern world is calling out for 'hard' skills, like those needed to succeed in the teach-driven 21st century, how can they possibly prove it is reasonable to spend their funds that are becoming smaller and smaller on anything but STEM subjects?The short answer to the question 'why spend time and money on drama?' is that drama education has been scientifically proven to improve students' achievement, especially in communication skills that are very important to a STEM education. As we develop students with highly refined skills in STEM subjects, it's equally important that we train the teachers that will support continued growth in these areas. An active, communicative teacher is the best way to get students on board in the study of STEM subjects, which can be unbearably dry. The best way to develop active communication skills? Drama. The next area in which the communication skills can be developed is publication and conference presentation. Drama improve students' public speaking skills necessary for STEM students to effectively present papers in conferences and their writing skills necessary to publish papers. It's also very important for students to be able to work well with one another. In the real STEM world, almost all scientific work happens in teams. Without the " soft” people skills necessary to navigate (导航) all of these interactions, no matter how technologically skilled one becomes, he or she will be at a disadvantage without the ability to communicate and work in teams.While the nationwide trend (趋势)to focus on playing catch-up in STEM education is reasonable, practical, and absolutely necessary, it's important not to forget the huge effect arts, specifically drama education, have on the overall education of ourA.B.C.D.(1)A.afford B.direct C.create D.raise(2)A.B.C.D.(3)A.B.C.D.(4)children. The question parents, educators, and policy makes should be asking themselves is not 'can we afford to support arts education in schools?' but rather 'can we afford not to?'Why did Americans start to stress STEM related classes?Because the world has moved into a teach-driven century.Because STEM classes have long been neglected in America.Because education officials prefer STEM classes to art classes.Because US students are expected to be at an advantage in these areas.The word "channel ” in Paragraph 2 probably mean " "The third paragraph is mainly about .the benefits of drama educationthe importance of STEM learningthe abilities needed for STEM learningthe reasons to improve drama educationThe writer probably agree that .drama is more important than STEM classesdrama education has been the nationwide trendthe result of neglecting drama education is hard to bearAmerican students have made progress in playing catch-up四、任务型阅读(共10分,每题2分)18.On Sundays I took part in Tomato Sauce Day of my friend Deb's family. I amthankful for my beautiful friend to share this family milestone(里程碑)event.Nine family members, myself and a few friends, took part in the day. Sunday was a special day because it was the last time that Tomato Sauce Day event would be carried out at Grandma's home. Tomato Sauce Day is going to be different next year in terms of the surrounds (环境), however, I have a feeling that all else will remain unchanged.Grandma passed away 5 years ago, and Deb and her uncle bought the property (地产). Plans are in progress to begin building two new homes on the same place.I listened to the family discussing the activities of the day, past sauce days and memories. A love of the tradition of the day and happy memories of sharing the day with family members who have passed away were recounted. The value of spending(1)(2)(3)(4)(5)time together as a family was obvious.The basic process and recipe (菜谱)for the sauce made by Deb's family remains the same way as it is still done in Grandma's village today:●The event takes place once a year.● Sauce is made by the family, for the family for the year ahead.●The sauce is made with just salt added to the tomatoes. This allows the family to use it throughout the year in various dishes as the base ingredient(食材). They add their own preferred ingredients in the cooking process.●The women prepare and make the sauce, the men are not involved. The women start the day with a visit to the community garden to collect the tomatoes and then they began the preparation. Once the sauce is cooking, it is lunch time and time for the family to catch up. Tomato Sauce Day is relived by the family all over the year as they open each bottle of red tomato goodness. I am looking forward to trying my sauce tonight. I feel like I need to make home-made pasta to eat it!What event did the writer take part in on Sunday?Where was the event carried out this year?How do the family use the sauce?What do the women do to start the day?Why is the event a family milestone event?五、书面表达(共10分)19.假如你是李华,正在美国格林中学做交换生。
