湖北省部分学校2023-2024学年高二下学期6月月考英语试题一、阅读理解How to explore Yellowstone National Park in just two days? Here is an incredible 2-day itinerary (行程) that enables you to see Yellowstone’s best in just one weekend.DAY ONE●Lamar Valley: This grassy valley supports huge numbers of bears, wolves, deer, bisons, coyotes and bald eagles. To see a wolf, get up before sunrise and head to Lamar Valley in the park’s northeast corner.●Mammoth Hot Springs: Near the park's north entrance, stop at Mammoth Hot Springs where you can see colorful terraces (梯形地貌) formed by hot springs rising to the surface. You’ll see about 50 hot springs as you follow the boardwalks for 1.75 miles.●Old Faithful Inn: A trip to Yellowstone wouldn’t be complete without seeing one of the largest log structures in the world. Built from 1903 to 1904, the Old Faithful Inn is an amazing hotel worth visiting.DAY TWO●Grand Prismatic: Head to Midway Geyser Basin and walk along the boardwalk to see one of the world’s largest and deepest hot springs — Grand Prismatic Spring. It’s larger than a football field at 370 feet across and deeper than a 10-story building at 125 feet. Its colors are incredible and range from deep blue in the center to green to yellow and orange on the edges.●Yellowstone Lake: When you feel hungry, head for Yellowstone Lake, which has 141 miles of shoreline. Thirteen picnic areas line the lake’s shores. Be ready to enjoy a peaceful picnic.●Giant Waterfalls: The powerful Yellowstone River formed the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone which is home to three incredible waterfalls: Upper, Lower and Crystal falls. Seeing the waterfalls in the late afternoon or early evening light is breathtaking.1.Which of the following is the best place for watching wildlife?A.Lamar Valley.B.Giant Waterfalls.C.Grand Prismatic.D.Mammoth Hot Springs.2.What is the highlight of Old Faithful Inn?A.Its short history.B.Its surrounding wonders.C.Its modern design.D.Its unique architecture.3.What do we know about Grand Prismatic?A.It is blue on the edges.B.It is perfect for a picnic.C.It is very large in size.D.It owns three waterfalls.When Ben Edlavitch was in elementary school, his grandfather, David Levine, got him his first Lego set. Growing up in Richmond, Edlavitch enjoyed plenty of quality time with his grandfather. From Edlavitch’s young age, the two shared countless hours tending to Levine’s 1926 Ford Model A, which developed in them a working rapport (融洽) that served them well when they participated as contestants on the fourth season of Lego Masters, a reality competition show on Fox, in the fall of 2023.Edlavitch and Levine were among 12 teams chosen from over 2,000 applicants to appear on the show, hosted by Lego Batman himself, Will Arnett. Over the course of the show, the teams were tasked with creating original builds for a chance to win $100,000 and the title of Lego Master. To prepare for it, Edlavitch says, “We spent a lot of time together figuring out Lego techniques... We studied past seasons to see what the judges liked and responded to.”For Edlavitch, 21, a student at the University of Virginia studying community-focused architecture, Lego bricks build a lifetime of “play”, an essential aspect of his approach to architecture. “Lego teaches you a world perspective (视角), which is that you can take anything apart and put it back together again in a way that makes it better,” he says,“and that, I think, is what got me into architecture.”Aside from his builds on Lego Masters, Edlavitch has created a 433-brick model of the Richmond skyline and a Richmond city block. Moreover, Edlavitch says he will offer kids’ workshops that combine Lego and architecture in an approachable way, introducing the field to a new generation through “play”.According to Edlavitch, most people don’t think about architecture very seriously as a career until later high school or college, at which point a lot of these kind of old-fashioned programs are considered too late to get started, and this leads to a less diverse and less creative field. He hopes, through his builds and workshops, to model a different approach.4.How was Edlavitch and his grandfather’s performance at the show?A.Unsatisfying.B.Unexpected.C.Excellent.D.Worrying. 5.What did Edlavitch and his grandfather do for the show?A.They arranged three seasons.B.They consulted Lego Batman.C.They interviewed the judges.D.They studied Lego techniques.6.What does Edlavitch think of “play”?A.It is important for learning architecture.B.It takes up much of his study time.C.It fails to open opportunities for creation.D.It is meaningless for a new generation. 7.Why does Edlavitch decide to provide workshops for kids?A.To offer chances for them to recognize Lego.B.To develop their interest in architecture.C.To encourage them to be more serious.D.To show his talent in building Lego.Using AI, a group of researchers from Dalhouse University in Halifax have begun the work of translating the language of chickens. Dr. Suresh Neethirajan, one of the lead researchers of the study, set out to create a “universal chicken translator”, reported The Conversation.Chicken speech is actually a lot more complex than one might think. They can make different sounds, and the way they communicate with one another can be affected by their environment and age. Moreover, chickens also communicate through body language and facial expressions.Luckily, the researchers were able to use new Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies to help them begin to know what chickens are saying. According to The Conversation, AI can process and analyze huge amounts of sound data. It can recognize patterns and types of vocalizations (发声). Using this information and an AI technique called Natural Language Processing, the researchers began to interpret the emotional states of chickens. Moreover, the researchers also used data video to record the chickens’ expressions and facial temperatures, thus knowing how chickens respond to something stressful.Neethirajan said that his team’s interest in chicken communication isn’t just academic. “Farmers can use this knowledge to create better living conditions, leading to healthier andhappier chickens. This, in turn, can affect the quality of produce, animal health and overall farm efficiency,” he said.The more people understand animals, the more likely they are to care about their well-being. Other researchers could use the data and methods that Neethirajan and his team have collected to begin to understand other bird species, and take care of their well-being as well.As AI becomes more and more common in our lives, it can be misused more easily. Neethirajan and his team, however, are part of a push toward positive AI use. Instead of using AI for boring goals, they suggest using AI to create a better world. For this, they should be commended.8.Why is the complexity of chicken speech mentioned in paragraph 2?A.To introduce the lifestyles of chickens.B.To explain chickens’ ways of communication.C.To prove scientists’ idea of new AI technologies.D.To show the necessity to create chicken translators.9.What did Neethirajan’s team use Natural Language Processing to do?A.Observe chickens’ facial expressions.B.Track chickens’ temperatures.C.Learn about chickens’ feelings.D.Record chickens’ sounds.10.What does Neethirajan say about their finding?A.It can be beneficial to farmers.B.It needs further testing.C.It causes doubt among researchers.D.It is harmful to animals.11.What does the underlined word “commended” in the last paragraph probably mean?A.Invited.B.Praised.C.Ignored.D.Trained.Today’s teens are still going through the same physical and emotional transitions (过渡) older generations had, but they’re also burdened with pressures we never could have imagined even several years ago—from the cruel separation caused by social media to the terrifying impact of climate change. In the face of all this, how can teens overcome these challenges? While there’re no simple answers to this question, part of the way forward is learning self-compassion.Self-compassion means treating yourself with kindness and support when you’re having a hard time, being aware of difficult emotions and recognizing they’re a normal part of life. Thismay sound like no big deal, but actually, most of us do the opposite. When something’s happened that makes us feel bad, for example, we tend to be overly self-critical, often assuming that whatever happened was our fault.In a recently published study, my colleagues and I taught one group of teens the Mindful Self-Compassion for Teens (MSC-T) program. Eight sessions were designed to help them be more supportive and compassionate to themselves. Another group learned a healthy lifestyle course that included sessions on nutrition, exercise, sleep and healthy social media use.In our study, all the teens were exhibiting some anxious symptoms. The results showed that after six months, teens in the self-compassion group were over 2.5 times less likely to develop full-blown anxiety compared to teens in the healthy lifestyle group, suggesting the self-compassion course protected the teens from getting more anxious.Although we can’t determine how self-compassion is protective, we suspect it has to do with teens developing an understanding of common humanity. In one class, a teen said, “Whatever you’re feeling, you’re not alone in it. Somebody else will feel the same way, and will know where you’re coming from.”Self-compassion won’t solve all teens’ problems. But it’ll give them a new way to approach their problems without blaming themselves. As one teen said to me after taking a self-compassion course, “You know, it’s changed the way I look at myself and the world.” And that can make all the difference.12.What do most people tend to do when having a hard time?A.They criticize others.B.They seek support.C.They remain normal.D.They blame themselves.13.How did the author and his colleagues mainly draw their conclusion?A.By making comparisons.B.By listing numbers.C.By quoting sayings.D.By presenting examples.14.How can self-compassion affect teens in the author’s opinion?A.It helps develop kindness in them.B.It can give them a new viewpoint.C.It gets them to take care of others.D.It makes them emotionally weaker. 15.Which of the following is the best title for the text?A.How Can Teenagers Get Over Challenges in Life?B.How Is Self-Compassion Used to Fight Loneliness?C.Can Self-Compassion Help Teens With Anxiety?D.Is Guiding the Teen Years Harder Than Before?While most people appreciate the health advantages that come from running, cycling, or lifting weights, fewer people understand the benefits that come from a good swim. Actually, swimming provides a series of specific benefits.Arguably, the most important one is that it promotes heart health. According to a research, the practice improves circulation and cardiovascular (心血管的) efficiency, so one’s risk of heart attack decreases. 16 , which raises your heart rate and reduces your blood pressure effectively.17 . To push yourself forward, swimming requires the use of many major muscle groups of the body. These include core muscles, neck muscles, arm, hand and shoulder muscles, chest and back muscles, plus leg and feet muscles, thus contributing to muscle strengthening.Swimming can aid in weight management goals as well. 18 . One public health analysis found that a 155-pound person burns 281 calories per hour swimming at a medium pace but can burn as many as 704 calories per hour swimming freestyle at a vigorous (强有力的) pace.Additionally, swimming has mental health benefits. Studies show that moving through water increases blood flow to the brain and causes a release of dopamine (多巴胺). 19 .Given so many benefits of swimming, why not get started? Some experts recommend a mix of both swimming and other water-related works when starting out. Above all, making the experience enjoyable is key to ensuring you stick with it. “Swimming is not just an exercise but an enjoyable and refreshing experience. 20 ,” says Lori Sherlock, an exercise physiology professor at West Virginia University School of Medicine.A.Swimming is also good for every muscle in the bodyB.Swimming is a whole-body rhythmic and dynamic activityC.The butterfly stroke burns as many as 774 calories per hourD.Research shows that repeating swim movements can burn many caloriesE.There are some techniques about swimming which need to be practicedF.In this way, swimming has even been shown to improve memory functionG.It can also enhance your physical health, mental well-being and quality of life二、完形填空I stared at the screen, re-reading the message from my friend, Noelle. Someone had 21 her by sharing her personal news — she had been refused by her dream school, which Noelle had shared with only several people. She didn’t know who let the 22 out, but she was disappointed.I felt so 23 as I’d been the one to tell someone beyond her 24 . It’d have been easy to admit what I had done and 25 if her note was an accusation. But it read as though it had been 26 and pasted (粘贴) to several people. 27 the right option, I chose the coward (胆小的) way out.“I’m sorry that happened to you,” I 28 . “How awful that your confidence was broken.” And her 29 came back within seconds, “Thank you.”30 , that would be good enough. I didn’t admit my action, but I’d expressed regret and 31 her pain. But, deep down, I knew I’d been the one to 32 faith and hurt her. I was ashamed, not only for my original action, but because I’d heaped (堆积) wrong upon wrong by 33 it up.I felt painful. I knew what stood between me and doing the right thing: my image. That’s what I 34 to lose after telling Noelle the truth.Yet what was my image compared to doing the 35 thing? To remain silent would make that image a lie anyway. So the next day, I went straight to Noelle and admitted what I’d done.21.A.followed B.interrupted C.upset D.warned 22.A.solution B.word C.way D.cry 23.A.angry B.surprised C.amused D.guilty 24.A.circle B.response C.control D.description 25.A.wait B.question C.apologize D.smile 26.A.refused B.copied C.removed D.taught 27.A.Making B.Considering C.Expecting D.Ignoring28.A.typed B.called C.admitted D.repeated 29.A.translation B.doubt C.reply D.puzzle 30.A.Luckily B.Surely C.Sadly D.Simply 31.A.sympathized with B.assisted with C.reflected onD.experimented on32.A.answer B.establish C.have D.break 33.A.picking B.taking C.covering D.bringing 34.A.feared B.decided C.intended D.managed 35.A.boring B.right C.embarrassing D.traditional三、语法填空阅读下面短文,在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。

Even so, viewers are usually warned in advance that they may find some of these scenes disturbing, so they can look away if they choose. But the men and women whose job is to record those scenes-the TV cameramen-have no such choice. It is their duty to witness the horrors of the world and record them, no matter how terrible and unpleasant they may be. Consequently, it is one of the most dangerous, exposed and emotionally taxing jobs the world has to offer. Today, the demand for their work is rising. The explosion of satellite broadcasting and 24-hour news in recent years has created an almost insatiable (贪得无厌的) demand for TV information. But major broadcasters and the TV news agencies—such as Reuters and WTN-have never had enough staff to meet the worldwide demand for up-to-date pictures, so increasingly they turn to “freelance” TV camer amen.These freelance cameramen are independent operators tied to no particular organization. They will work for any company which hires them, be it for just a few hours or for several weeks in a war zone. But if the freelance cameraman is injured in the course of the job, the TV company is not responsible for him. The freelancer must survive on his own.TV will always need hard, vivid moving pictures which are fresh, but these companies feel uncomfortable with large numbers of employees on their books, explains Nick Growing, once foreign editor for Britain Channel 4 News and now a BBC news presenter.By hiring freelancers, they can buy in the skills they need only when they need them. It also enables them to contract out the risk, he says.【1】TV news agencies turn to freelance cameramen in order to .A.save expense and avoid risksB.get free and useful picturesC.get first-hand information and picturesD.satisfy the greed of the freelance cameramen【2】We can infer from the passage that the freelance cameramen .A.have to take a lot of risks in the course of workB.are tied to many TV news agenciesC.have better skills than other cameramenD.need to contract out risks of work for TV companies【3】According to this passage, some major broadcasters and TV news agencies .A. have employed enough cameramenB. are not willing to employ many cameramenC. are very mean to freelancersC. are responsible for the freelancer if he is injured【4】The author of this passage shows his the freelance cameramen.A.sympathy to B.respect for C.anger to D.admiration to2.You have the ability to decide if you are happy or not. Happiness is a choice.You can't depend on someone else to make you happy. That is a lesson I learned early on in my marriage. I realized that I couldn't rely on my husband as my source of happiness. I learned that my happiness depended on me and not my husband's actions. I learned that you have to choose to be happy.You can choose your emotions. True happiness comes from within; it can't be forced by outside forces. So how do you choose happiness? The same way you choose to smile or choose to wear a certain outfit. You choose it because that's what you want to experience in your life.You want to buy a new pair of shoes so you choose a pair that you like and feel good. You wouldn't buy a pair of shoes that you don't like or that don't fit well, right? So why do we keep choosing emotions and feelings that don't make us feel good?Choosing to be happy after you realize your anger has shown up (or even choosing to be calm) can be beneficial. We choose our feelings; no one can do that for us. If we let others get to us, influence our emotions - we are giving them power over us. When others cause us anger or pain, we are giving them our power.We need to keep our feelings in check and not react automatically to what is thrown at us. We need to think our actions out instead of just reacting to what someone says or does.Remember that we can always choose happiness. At first it will be difficult to just switch your thoughts and feelings from anger, self-doubt, or fear to joy and happiness. But it is only a thought away. Don't dwell on what happens to you unnecessarily but realize what is causing you to feel that way. Realize that thoughts, feelings and emotions can change. Then move on and choose to be happy.【1】What’s the best title of this passage?A.Choose to Be Happy B.Choose Your EmotionsC.Pretend to Be Happy D.Find Happiness【2】The lesson the writer learned in her marriage is ________.A.she can depend on her husband to find happinessB.balancing the relationship between the husband and wife is an artC.one can’t rely on someone else to make himself or herself happyD.happiness can be influenced by outside forces【3】Why did the writer mention buying shoes?A.To use it as an example to show the importance of choosing to be happy.B.To offer advice on how to choose comfortable shoes.C.To compare choosing shoes and choosing an outfit.D.To help to move to the next paragraph easily.【4】The writer suggests that we should ________.A.let others control our feelingsB.respond immediately to others’ wordsC.pay more attention to words than actionsD.hold back our feelings properly3.In Canada and the United States, there is a new group of children called “satellite kids”, who live in one place but whose parents live in another place.Asians are immigrating (移民) to Canada and the United States in larger numbers than ever before. Most Asians immigrate because they believe that they can give their children a better education in the West. In Asia, especially in China, Japan, and Korea, it is difficult to go to university. Students must first pass the strict national examination. However, in Canada and the United States, it is easy to go to university, and anyone who wants to go can go. As a result, Asian parents decide to leave their countries so that their children can go to university. The problem is that when Asians arrive, they discover that finding a job and making money are more difficult in the West than in the East. Also, they find that they are very lonely, and that they miss their homes. For these two reasons, most Asian parents decide to go back to work while their children study in the West. Therefore, these children become “satellite kids”, and most of their parents do not know how sad it is to be a “satellite kid”.Only until now are Canadians and Americans discovering the “satellite kid” problem. Because these children do not speak English and because their parents are not there to take care of them, they are often absent from school. To be a “satellite kid” means to grow up in a country where you know you are different and where you cannot make friends because you do not speak English well. Also, it means to grow up lonely, because your parents are elsewhere. What these “satellite kids” will probably say to their parents is that it’s better to have parents around than to have a university education.【1】Some Asian parents send their kids abroad because ________.A.they hope their children may easily find a job thereB.all foreign universities are better than the ones in their own countriesC.the kids may not be accepted by universities in their own countriesD.the kids want to improve their English and make foreign friends【2】“Satellite kids” refer to Asian kids ________.A.without parents B.speaking no EnglishC.with university education D.living abroad alone【3】Some Asian immigrant children become “satellite kids” because their parents ________.A.want to leave their own country B.want them to go to universityC.return to their countries to work D.want them to be independent【4】What is the main idea of the passage?A.Parents want better education for their kids.B.Parents feel lonely and miss their families.C.Kids in foreign countries alone are badly in need of care from family.D.Canadians and Americans begin to notice the “satellite kids” problem.4.After Mom died, l began visiting Dad every morning before I went to work. He was frail and moved slowly, but he always had a glass of freshly squeezed orange juice on the kitchen table for me, along with an unsigned note reading," Drink your juice." Such a gesture, l knew, was as far as Dad had ever been able to go in expressing his love. In fact, l remember, as a kid I had questioned Mom "Why doesn't Dad love me?" Mom frowned, "Who said he doesn’t love you?" "Well, he never tells me, "I complained." He never tells me either," she said, smiling. " But look how hard he works to take care of us, to buy us food and clothes, and to pay for this house. That's how your father tells us he loves us. "I nodded slowly. I understood in my head, but not in my heart. l still wanted my father to put his arms around me and tell me he loved me. Dad owned and operated a small scrap (片) metal business, and after school I often hung around while he worked. Dad handled scrap steel into a device that chopped it as cleanly as a butcher chops a rack of ribs. The machine looked like a giant pair of scissors, with blades thicker than my father's body. If he didn’t feed those terrifying blades just right, he r isked serious injury. "Why don' t you hire someone to do that for you?" Mom asked Dad one night as she bent over him and rubbed his aching shoulders with a strong smelling liniment. "Why don’t you hire a cook?" Dad asked, giving her one of his rare smiles.Many years later, during my first daily visit, after drinking the juice my father had squeezed for me. l walked over, hugged him and said, "I love you, Dad." From then on I did this every morning. My father never told me how he felt about my hugs, and there was never any expression on his face when I gave them.【1】What would be the best title for the passage?A.My father never loved me B.I just couldn't understand my fatherC.My hard-working father D.Silent fatherly love【2】The author’s father always prepared a glass of freshly squeezed orange juice for him because____. A.that was the author's favoriteB.that was a gesture of loveC.the author was always complainingD.he was sure the author would be thirsty【3】The author’s father didn’t hire a helper because________. .A.he wanted to save moneyB.his job required high skillsC.his job was too dangerousD.he was not good at communicating with others【4】We may infer from the passage that _______.A.the author's father lacked a sense of humorB.the author's-father didn't love him very muchC.the author quite understood his father as time went onD.the author's father was too strict with him5.The iPhone, the iPad: each of Apple’s products sounds cool and has become a fad (一度时髦的风尚). Apple has cleverly taken advantage of the power of the letter “i” — and many other brands are following suit. The BBC’s iPlayer — which allows Web users to watch TV programs on the Internet — adopted the title in 2008. A lovely bear — popular in the US and the UK —that plays music and video is called “iTeddy”. A slimmed-down version of The Independent newspaper was launched last week under the name “i”.In general, single-letter prefixes have been popular since the 1990s, when terms such as e-mail and e-commerce first came into use.Most “i” products are aimed at young people and considering the major readers of The Independent’s“i”, it’s no surprise that they’ve selecte d this fashionable name.But it’s hard to see what’s so special about the letter “i”. Why not use “a”, “b”, or “c” instead? According to Tony Thorne, former head of the Language Center at King’s College London, “i” works because its meaning has become ambi guous. When Apple uses “i”, no one knows whether it means Internet, information, individual or interactive, Thorne told BBCMagazines. “Even when Apple created the iPod, it seems it didn’t have one clear definition,” he says.“However, thanks to Apple, the term is now associated with portability (轻便).” Adds Thorne.Clearly the letter “i” also agrees with the idea that the Western world is centered on the individual. Each person believes they have their own needs, and we love personalized products for this reason.Along with “Google” and “blog”, readers of BBCMagazines voted “i” as one of the top 20 words that have come to define the last decade.But as history shows, people grow tired of fads. From the 1900s to 1990s, products with “2000” in their names became fashionable as the year was associated with all things advanced and modern. However, as we entered the new century, the trend unavoidably disappeared.【1】People use iPlayer to _________.A.listen to music B.make a call C.read newspapers D.watch TV programs online【2】We can infer that The Independent’s“i” is aimed at _________.A.engineers B.old readers C.fashionable women D. young readers 【3】Nowadays, the “i” term often reminds people of the products which are _________. A.environmentallyfriendlyB.easy to carry C.advanced D.recyclable【4】The writer suggests that _________.A.“i” products are often of high qualityB.iTeddy is a living bearC.the popularity of “i” products may not last longD.the letter “b” replaces the letter “i” to name the products四、其他完成句子(共10小题;每小题2分,满分20分)【1】Langlang, ______________________ , has performed successfully on a lot of grand occasions . (gift)朗朗,很有音乐天赋,曾经在很多大场合成功表演过。

Some people have more disposable(可支配的) income to spend on luxuries such as holidays, cars, TVs and smartphones. Recent data has shown that the number of people living in extreme poverty(贫穷) has halved in recent decades. So should we celebrate the fact that more of us now have a better standard of living?Maybe not. Whilst the gap between rich and poor in some countries is narrowing, there is still a lot of inequality in other places-some people have a lot of money and opportunities and others don't. A recent report by Oxfam and Credit Suisse revealed how divided many of us are when it comes to wealth. A lot of the money in the world is in the hands of very few people. In fact, 48% of global wealth is owned by the richest 1% of the population.But some countries are attempting to reduce this inequality and make the poor, less poor. According to David Bryer from Oxfam, Brazil has been taking "some really sensible measures-measures around having moreprogressive(逐步发展的) tax, around investing in a higher minimum wage and investing in central public services." Having a higher minimum wage, can help people eat better and seek a better education. And more people with more money buy more things-and factories can produce more. In turn, a factory which produces more will need more workers. So, more jobs are created.Other wealthy individuals are doing their bit to help reduce inequality. Bill Gates, the founder of Microsoft, earned a lot of money from his company but when he retired, he and his wife Melinda, created a foundation to help the poor. He thinks that rich people should, of course, pay their taxes but he also advises that they should all "look at taking their wealth and being philanthropic, both in their own country and to help the global poorest."Bill Gates feels that giving money to help poor people is "fulfilling". But if other super-rich people don't want to experience this fulfilment then, according to Oxfam, very soon the wealthiest 1% will soon own more money than the rest of the world's population.【1】According to a recent report by Oxfam and Credit Suisse, .A.the gap between the rich and the poor is widening graduallyB.increased wealth helps people to reduce the inequalityC.people should be happy about the world’s getting richerD.a small number of people possesses the major wealth【2】What the author’s attitude towards Brazil’s measures?A.Cautious B.ApprovingC.Doubtful D.Critical【3】What is the meaning of the underlines word “philanthropic”?A.Merciful B.ResponsibleC.Realistic D.Broadminded【4】The author develops the article mainly by .A.comparing opinions from different fieldsB.listing detailed numbers and analyzing themC.presenting a trend and analyzing its cause and effectD.presenting research findings and giving some examples3.At times my mom has been uncomfortable seeing these qualities in me. For example, when I was 12, I went to Puerto Rico all by myself to stay with my grandmother for the summer. My mom was extremely nervous about it. She kept telling me how things were different in Puerto Rico, to always put on sunscreen, not to wander away from my grandmother, and other warnings. She helped me pack and did not leave the airport until she saw my plane take off.But despite her worries, she let me go on my own. As I moved into my teens, she continued to give me space to grow and learn even when it might have been difficult for her. When I reached my senior year, I decided to move away for college. Once again I found that I differed from my peers: while many of them wanted to stay close to home, I couldn't wait to be out in the world on my own. While my mom may not have been happy at the thought of me going away, she was supportive and excited for me.One big thing I realized during my senior year, as my mom granted me more freedom, was that she actually believes in me and trusts me. That means a lot. Most of my life, and especially when I was little, the main person I tried to impress in my schoolwork or other things was my mother. I knew she expected nothing but the best from me. Sometimes it was hard to live up to her standards; getting a single B on my report card would make me feel bad because I knew she wanted me to have all A’s.I know that her high standards have helped me stay focused on what's important, like education, and made me who I am. I am thankful for her support and involvement in my life. Most of all I respect her. She is the strongest woman I know and that's why I have turned out so strong and independent.【1】When the author decided to go to Puerto Rico, his mother .A.wanted to go with him B.worried about his safetyC.didn’t allow him to go D.asked his grandmother for advice【2】The author decided to move away for college to .A.be different from his peers B.keep away from his motherC.be independent in outside world D.make his mother unhappy【3】We can learn from the third paragraph that the author’s mother .A.had a high expectation from him B.was too strict with himC.used to expect nothing from him D.cared little about his learning【4】In the passage, the author mainly wants to tell us .A.his long way to becoming independentB.his good relationship with his motherC.his mother’s deep love for himD.the importance of a mother’s trust and support4.There are countless short videos on YouTube. It’s a website for people to post video made by themselves. Many people make a lot of money through doing so. Then, who made the most over the past year?YouTube’s top-earning celebrity is a 25-year-old video-game-playing young man who shows a strong sense of humor in his videos. He earned $12 million over the past year. Forbes magazine says Sweden's Felix Kjellberg, better known by his handle "PewDiePie", tops its first list of people who have turned short videos into huge piles of cash.YouTube stars make money mainly by getting paid to interact with products on their channels and sharing ad revenue(收入) with YouTube. Some also star in movies, write books, go on tour, or sell music. They're a hit with younger audiences and brands trying to reach the next generation of consumers.Two acts tied for the second place on Forbes' list, both earning $8.5 million: comedy prankster(搞恶作剧的人) duo Smosh(Ian Hecox and Anthony Padilla) and the Fine Brothers(Benny and Rafi Fine). Dancing violinist Lindsey Stirling ranked fourth with $6 million. Tied for fifth were comedians Rhett and Link(made of Rhett McLaughlin and Charles Lincoln III) and video game commentators(解说员) Olajide Olatunji, known as "KSI," with $4.5 million. Make-up artist Michelle Phan was seventh at $3 million. The No. 8 place was a three-way tie at $2.5 million shared by comedian Lilly Singh, or "Superwoman;" prankster Roman Atwood; and chef Rosanna Pansino.Forbes is best known for its list of billionaires and this list marks its first attempt at ranking YouTube stars. It says it measured earnings before management fees and taxes and came up with the figures based on data from online sources such as Nielsen, IMDb and interviews with managers, lawyers, industry insiders and the stars themselves.【1】How do the audience most probably find Felix Kjellberg while watching his video?A.Touching B.PuzzlingC.Amusing D.Shocking【2】How do YouTube stars make money?A.By getting part of ad revenue B.By selling moviesC.By showing on tours D.By interacting with young audiences【3】Who earned the fourth most on YouTube over the past year?A.Michelle Phan B.Rhett and LinkC.Lindsey Stirling D.The Fine Brothers【4】What is the text mainly about?A.Famous YouTube stars B.Works of YouTube starsC.Earnings of YouTube stars D.Ways to make money on YouTube二、其他People have always wanted to know what the future will look like. Then, how can we know what the future will look like?【1】The world has changed a lot in the past 150 years, but we humans are driven by the same basic needs as we were 150 years ago, such as food, sleep, the feeling of being appreciated and loved.【2】No. In addition, generally speaking, the inventions for the last 150 years have been a human effort for freedom and communication, to be able to get in control of the time and world. Since there is still much to do in this area, this will be the focus at least for the next 150 years.But why do we need to predict the future? Predicting the future is important for two reasons: first we need to start to think about what kind of future we’d like for ourselves and to pass on the next generation.【3】How about the virtual worlds? It might be possible in the future to experience the sand between your toes, and hear the waves, just lying in your bed at home.【4】So, even if a great invention is there for an affordable price, it'll never take the place of the common experience if it's not real.【5】What we'll see in the next 50 years is the transition from an oil-dependent society to a new society. Here there'll be new medicine, continued exploration of space, challenges in the climate change, and new inventions that make life a little easier.A.So what will the future look like then?B.Will this change in the next 150 years?C.Predicting the future can help us in many ways.D.However, you'll never get the feeling of being there.E. Well, to understand the future, you must know the past.F. However, no matter how real the experience will feel, it doesn't happen for real.G. Then we need to know what decisions we need to make today that will give the best result in the future.三、完形填空One morning all the employees reached the office as usual.

This new world can be similar to the one we are living in, or it can be very 31 .Some stories are told 32 they were true. Real people who live in a 33 world do real things; in other words, the stories are about people just like us doing what we do. Other stories, such as the Harry Potterbooks, are not 34 . They are characters and creatures that are very different from us and do things that would be 35 for us.But there is more to books and writing than this. If we think about it, even realistic writing is only 36 . How can we tell the difference between what is real and what is not real? For example, when we read about HarryPotter ,we 37 seem to learn something about the real world. And when Harry studies magic at Hogwarts, he also learns more about his real life than 38 . Reading, like writing, is an action. It is a way of 39 . When we read or write something ,we do much more than simple look at words on a page. We use our 40--which is real—and our imagination—which is real in a different way --- to make the words come to life in our minds.Both realism and fantasy(幻想) 41 the imagination and the “magic” of reading and writing to make us think. When we read 42 realistic, we have to imagine that the people we are reading about are just like us, even though we 43 that we are real and they are 44 . It sounds 45 ,but it works. When we read, we fill in missing information and 46 about the causes and effects of what a character does. We help the writer by 47 that what we read is like real life. In a way, we are writing the book, too.Most of us probably don’t think about what is going on in our 48 when we are reading. We pick up a book and lose 49 in a good story, eager to find out what will happen next. Knowing how we feel 50 we read can help us become better readers, and it will help us discover more about the real magic of books.【1】A.possible B.easy C.new D.different【2】A.that B.what C.whether D.as if【3】A.usual B.normal C.certain D.common【4】A.realistic B.reasonable C.moral D.instructive【5】A.difficult B.impossible C.important D.necessary【6】A.thinkable B.designed C.imagined D.planned【7】A.do B.make C.have D.are【8】A.lessons B.dreams C.experience D.magic【9】A.working B.thinking C.living D.understanding 【10】A.knowledge B.skill C.words D.grammar【11】A.make B.get C.use D.have【12】A.a newspaper B.something C.everything D.a story【13】A.find B.learn C.know D.hope【14】A.too B.not C.all D.so【15】A.dangerous B.serious C.strange D.terrible 【16】A.talk B.learn C.read D.think 【17】A.telling B.pretending C.promising D.guessing 【18】A.mind B.life C.world D.society 【19】A.heart B.time C.money D.ourselves 【20】A.what B.how C.when D.why三、阅读理解1.People have been talking about health for a long time because people know the importance of it. People's understanding of health also becomes deeper with the progress in scientific research. Recently the term "health" has come to have a wider meaning than it used to. It no longer means just the absence of illness. Today, health means the well-being of your body, your mind and your relationship with other people. This new concept of health is closely related to another term-quality of life. Quality of life is the degree of overall satisfaction that a person gets from life.Why has the emphasis of health shifted from the absence of disease to a broader focus on the quality of a person's life? One reason for this has to do with the length and conditions of life that people can now expect. Medical advances have made it possible for people today to live longer, healthier lives. Imagine for a moment that you were born in the year 1900. You could have expected on average to live until about the age of 47. In contrast, if you were born in the year 1999, you could expect to live to the age of 75.【1】________ leads to people's deeper understanding of health.A.Common knowledgeB.Progress in scientific researchC.Better conditions of livingD.Quality of life【2】The emphasis of health has shifted nowadays because _________.A.people enjoy better conditions of living and they can live longerB.people pay more attention to their physical health, not their mental healthC.people have realized the importance of mental well-beingD.people are inspired by medical advances【3】We can infer from the passage __________.A.nowadays the emphasis of health has a broader focus because of improvements in the quality of food B.the overall quality of people's lives improved greatly in the 20th centuryC.those who never fall ill are the truly healthy peopleD.those who were born before 1900 could not have lived until now【4】This passage is mainly about __________.A.different understandings of the term "health"B.improving the quality of lifeC.the importance of quality livingD.people's expectations of a long and healthy life2.Background music may seem harmless, but it can have a powerful effect on those who hear it. Recorded background music first found its way into factories, shops and restaurants in the USA. Very soon it spread to other parts of the world. Now it is becoming difficult to go shopping or eat a meal without listening to background music.To begin with, background music was intended simply to create a soothing (舒适的) atmosphere. Recently, however, it's becoming a big business. An American marketing expert has shown that music can boost(提升) sales or increase factory production by as much as a third.But it has to be the light music. Lively music has no effect at all on sales. Slow music can increasereceipts(收入) by 34%. This is probably because shoppers slow down and have more opportunity to spot items they would like to buy. Yet, slow music isn't always the answer. The expert found that in restaurants slow music meant customers took longer to eat their meals, which reduced overall sales. So restaurant owners might be well advised to play faster music to keep the customers moving-unless, of course, the resulting indigestion(消化不良)leads to complaints.【1】Background music was first used ________.A.in the cinemas and theatres in the USAB.in the offices and hospitals in the USAC.in the schools and churches in the USAD.in the factories, shops and restaurants in the USA【2】An American marketing expert has found background music can __________.A.increase sales or factory productionB.create a soothing atmosphereC.make people slow downD.make people forget their worries【3】Slow music is useless in ________ in increasing sales.A.shopsB.restaurantsC.factoriesD.cinemas【4】Restaurant owners are advised to play ________ to increase overall sales.A.lively musicB.loud musicC.slower musicD.faster music3.The French Revolution broke out in 1789. At the time France was in a crisis. The government was badly run and people's lives were miserable. King Louis XIV tried to control the national parliament and raise more taxes. But his effort failed. He ordered his troops to Versailles. The people thought that Louis intended to put down the Revolution by force. On July 14, 1789, they stormed and took the Bastille, where political prisoners were kept. Ever since that day, July 14 has been the French National Day. Louis tried to flee the country in 1792, to get support from Austria and Prussia. However, he was caught and put in prison. In September 1792, the monarchy(君主制) was abolished_. In the same year, Louis was executed. A few months later his wife, Marie also had her head cut off. The Revolution of France had frightened the other kings of Europe. Armies from Austria and Prussia began to march against France. The French raised republican armies to defend the nation. The Revolution went through a period of terror. Thousands of people lost their lives. In the end, power passed to Napoleon Bonaparte.【1】What's this passage about?A.France.B.King Louis.C.The French Revolution.D.Europe.【2】Which did not happen in 1789?A.The French Revolution broke out.B.The national economy was developing rapidly.C.The government wasn't well run.D.King Louis XIV was in power.【3】 What does the underlined word "abolished" mean?A.Put off.B.Established.C.United.D.Ended.【4】What was NOT the effect of the Revolution?A.July 14 has become the French National Day.B.It brought some impact on the other European kings.C.Louis's wife, Marie was killed.D.The king tried to control the national parliament.4.I was in a s trange city I didn’t know at all, and what’s more, I could not speak a word of the language. On my second day I got on the first bus that passed, rode on it for several stops, then got off and walked on. The first two hours passed pleasantly enough, then I decided to turn back to my hotel for lunch. After walking about for some time, I decided I had better ask the way. The trouble was that the only word I knew of the language was the name of the street in which I lived, and even that I pronounced badly. I stopped to ask a newspaper-seller. He handed me a paper. I shook my head and repeated the name of the street and he put the paper into my hands. I had to give him some money and went on my way. The next person.I asked was a policeman. He listened to me carefully, nodded and gently took me by the arm. There was a strange look in his eyes as he pointed left and right and left again.

People at a conference in Australia, which increasingly relies on coal for power, say that reducing power consumption is an affordable way to both cut energy costs and reduce pollution.While many nations turn to cheap and dirty energy sources, such as coal, to meet their increasing energy needs, analysts in Australia say the best way to meet those needs is to improve energy efficiency.A range of simple solutions include using energy-efficient homes, household appliances and lighting, and driving electric cars. Encouraging homeowners and office workers to switch off their televisions and computers at the end of the day is also seen as an effective way to save electricity.Grayson Heffner, from the Paris-based International Energy Agency, says reducing consumption could greatly cut global carbon emissions. He calls efficiency strategies (策略) the “soft giant” of clean energy.“We forecast that energy efficiency will deliver something like three-quarters of the greenhouse gas emissions reductions over the next 20 years. So in the short term energy efficiency is the main way that we reduce greenhouse gas emissio ns but oftentimes it is not so importantly stressed in the discussions,” said Heffner. Energy experts working in China say the government is making significant cuts in power usage.Wan Xingwang, a Beijing-based representative of the Energy Foundation, a U.S. non-government organization, says the results have been impressive.“In the past five years China achieved about 19.1 percent of energy reduction of its GDP. That translates to something like more than 600 million tons of coal savings,” said Wan Xingwan g.While most nations have some sort of government-sponsored energy efficiency programs, energy analysts say initiatives (主动性) by individuals and companies can also help cut demand.Steven Nadel, executive director of the American Council for an Energy Efficient Economy, a non-profit group based in Washington, says other developing nations are recognizing the benefits of cutting power consumption and taking action.【1】To increase their energy supplies, many nations _____________________.A.turn to new energy B.turn to cheap energyC.develop solar energy D.introduce clean energy【2】Which of the following cannot help to reduce energy consumption effectively?A.Using electronic products in small size.B.Using more electric cars.C.Turning off computers after work.D.Building energy-efficient houses.【3】What can we learn from what Grayson Heffner said?A.75% of the greenhouse gas emissions can easily be cut in the next 20 years.B.Ways to reduce greenhouse gas emissions should be discussed.C.Using clean energy is the strategy to cut global carbon emissions.D.The key to reducing greenhouse gases in the short term is to improve energy efficiency.【4】According to the last two paragraphs, which of the following statements is true?A.The p rograms reducing energy consumption shouldn’t be sponsored by individuals and companies.B.All nations have government-sponsored energy efficiency programs.C.It is time that all nations should combine their efforts to save energy.D.Some developing nations are taking action to cut power consumption.四、其他完成句子【1】When we reached the cinema, the film had not begun yet, so we ________________ a taxi.

His mother, Mary, and I did our best to him that, on certain social , reading while dining with others was not a good thing.Every summer the teachers at his school give the students a reading list, and there was a contest to see who could read the most books. He was so , and he always wanted to win. And he often . But the main reason why he read so obsessively (着迷地) was that he was so . He didn’t just want to learnabout things.

There are many traditions to celebrate the day, such as lighting the menorah (多连灯烛台),frying potato pancakes and spinning the dreidel (四面陀螺).One night in the 1990s, we tidied up wrapping paper and toys while the lighted menorah stood on the kitchen table. When we were not there, as the many-colored candles broke, our long-haired black-and-white cat, Ladybug, jumped onto the kitchen table and brushed past them."Do you smell something?" asked my husband, Donny. "Is something burning?" asked Molly, our oldest, age ten. It was Ladybug! The fur on her left side had been burnt. She wasn't hurt, but she wore an upset expression all evening, and for the rest of the week she hid whenever we began chanting the Hebrew(希伯来语)blessings over the candles. "Though her fur grew out as thick as ever, Ladybug took a dim view of Hanukkah after that, clearly preferring less flammable holidays, like Labor Day.The following year, for fifth-grade homework about family traditions, Molly wrote about Ladybug's story with the Hanukkah candles. The teacher, Lynn Fink, a sporty and funny woman, enjoyed Molly's story and gave it an A. Three years later, Seth got Ms. Fink for fifth grade. He also worked the burnt cat fur into a writing assignment, and he, too, got an A.Our son Lee, three years later: the same teacher, the same story, the same A. We had no idea these retellings were piling up.The year Lily got Ms. Fink for fifth grade, she also felt inspired to write down what happened that night. By now, we were very fond of Ms. Fink. We invited her to join us for a night of Hanukkah. It was her first time to experience the Jewish holiday. Happily, she ate her potato pancakes. Gamely, she spun the dreidel. Delightedly, she opened the small gift of home-made cookies the children had prepared for her. As the evening seemed to be winding down, she clapped her hands, rubbed them together as if before a big dinner, and said excitedly," So! When do we torch the cat?"【1】What happened to Ladybug when the family celebrated Hanukkah that year?A.She was seriously hurt that night.B.She broke the candles on the menorah.C.She had some of her fur burnt.D.She got a surprising present from the family.【2】What can we learn from the passage?A.Hanukkah lasts for only one night.B.The writer has at least four children.C.The family saw Ladybug jump onto the kitchen table that night.D.Frying potato pancakes is not a tradition to celebrate Hanukkah.【3】Which proverb can best describe the meaning of the underlined sentence in Paragraph 4?A.It's easy to be wise after the event.B.Where there is a will, there is a way.C.He that falls today may be up again tomorrow.D.Once bitten, twice shy.【4】We can infer from the last paragraph that Ms.Fink _____.A.forgot the story of LadybugB.came to the writer's home unexpectedlyC.knew all the traditions of Hanukkah wellD. thought people would torch the cat to celebrate Hanukkah2.More than 27,000 people from around the UK set off at dawn from London to begin the cycle route through Surrey to the Sussex coast.The annual 54-mile ride raises money for the British Heart Foundation(BHF)and is Europe’s largest charity cycling event. Cyclists began the exhausting journey at Clapham Common at 6 a. m. , hoping to reach Brighton seafront within an average of six hours.Money from today's event will help the charity to continue its vital work through heart research and the development of its care and support services. Among those taking part was BBC Breakfast's resident(居民)Dr Rosemary Leonard and several colleagues.BHF spokeswoman Gemma Cloke said, “It was quite cold this morn ing, but everyone set off without any problems.” Those taking part range in age from 14 to those in their 70s. Last year cyclists raised£4. 1 million for the charity, and have raised more than£50 million since the BHF became involved in the event in 1980. The first ride was held in 1976. It is hoped this year's fund raising total could reach£4. 5 million. She added : “We have a lot of people taking part, from the more experienced cyclists to those cycling with friends and family in memory of someone and to raise money through sponsorship.”“People are always pleased knowing the money is going to a good cause. There is so much support along the route, with local residents watching the ride. ”“One of the highlights for participants(参加者)is coming along the seafront while people are clapping, which can really help when they've been in the saddle (自行车车座) for a long time. ”【1】 What can we know about the cycling event from the text?A.It is the world’s largest charity cycling event.B.Cyclists may raise more money than last year.C.The first event was held by the BHF in 1980.D.The route of the event is 54 kilometers long.【2】 What can we learn from what Gemma Cloke said?A.Cyclists will receive encouragement from local people.B.Some people doubt whether the money is properly used.C.Most of the cyclists are professional.D.Local people have little interest in cycling events.【3】The local residents’ attitude towards the ride is .A.doubtful B.unconcernedC.supportive D.indifferent【4】 What is the text mainly about?A.Cyclists have raised over£50 million for the BHF.B.More than 27,000 people like travelling by bike in the UK.C.Charity cycling event wins support from local people.D.More than 27,000 people in the UK join in the charity bike ride.3.College libraries are designed primarily for research and study. To explain its use, let us choose a research topic and follow the step-by-step procedure of looking up the material for the paper.Suppose your assignment is to write a paper on a novel called The Sun Also Rises by American writer Hemingway.The first step is to go to the main catalog.Many small drawers on the large wooden cabinets are lined up in alphabetical(字母的) order.Each of the drawers contains hundreds of alphabetical ordered cards.These cards are printed references to all material available in the library.Title cards are cataloged by the first word of the book title, leaving out the articles like “a”, “an” and “the”.And then you get the cards for the books you need.On the upper left corner of each card is the call number.This is the numerical code that shows where the book is located in the library.The library has open and closed stacks.If your book is on the open stacks, you can go to the open-stack room, and according to the call number find it out by yourself.There are only about 30,000 books on open stacks, while most of the 800,000 books in our library are kept in closed stacks, which are accessible only to teachers and graduate students.For undergraduates like you, borrowing books from the closed stacks have to be done with the help of our librarian.In that case, you must fill out a call slip(纸条) for the book, showing the call number, author and title.You can get call slips on tables near the catalog cabinets.You show your call slip together with yourlibrary card to a librarian at the information desk.He or she will help you find the book out in the closed stacks. 【1】What is the main purpose of this text?A.To present readers a brief introduction to a college library.B.To guide readers how to find books needed in a college library.C.To tell readers how to fill out a call slip in a college library.D.To show readers where to find books in a college library.【2】 What letter you should look for on the title card for the book The Old Man and the Sea by the Hemingway? A.The letter “t”.B.The letter “h”.C.The letter “s”.D.The letter “o”.【3】 How are books arranged and shelved in the library?A.By call numbers.B.By call slips of authors’ names.C.In alphabetical order.D.By the first word of book title.【4】 Suppose you are an undergraduate and you want to borrow a book from the closed stacks, which is the correct order to do it?a. go to the main catalogb. show your call slip and library cardc. find out the call numberd. fill out a call slipe. get the cards for the booksA.a-b-e-d-c B.b-a-c-d-eC.a-e-c-d-b D.b-c-a-e-d4.Everyone has good days and bad days.Sometimes, you feel as if you’re on top of the world and all the questions on your maths test might seem easy. But occasionally you feel horrible, and you lose things and cannot focus on our schoolwork.For more than 20 years, scientists have suggested that high self-esteem(自尊) is the key to success.Now, new research shows that focusing just on building self-esteem may not be helpful. In some cases, having high self-esteem can make people less likeable or more upset when they fail in something.“Forget about self-esteem,” says Jennifer Crocker, a psychologist at the University of Michigan, US. “It’s not the important thing.”Feeling goodCrocker’s advice may sound a bit strange. After all, feeling good can be good for you.Studies show that people with high self-esteem are less likely to be depressed, anxious, shy, or lonely than those with low self-esteem. However, after reviewing about 18,000 studies on self-esteem, Roy Baumeister, a psychologist at Florida State University, has found that building up your self-esteem will not necessarily make you a better person.He believes that violent people often have the highest self-esteem of all. He also said:“ There’s no evidence that kids with high self-esteem do better in school.”ProblemsAll types of people have problems. People with high self-esteem can have big egos(自我) that can make them less likeable, said Kathleen Vohs, a psychology professor at Columbia University.People with high self-esteem tend to think more of themselves, VOhs says. People with low self-esteem are more likely to rely on their friends when they need help.What to doResearchers say it is best to listen to and support other people. Find positive ways to contribute to society. If you fail in something, try to learn from the experience. “The best therapy(药方) is to re cognize your faults,” Vohs says. “It’s OK to say, ‘I’ m not so good at that,’ and then move on.”【1】What does the underlined part “on top of the world” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?A.Quite helpful.B.Extremely happy.C.Very unlucky.D.Rather upset.【2】 The conclusion drawn from the new research shows that high self-esteem_____.A.is not important at allB.makes people more likeableC.helps you do better at schoolD.may not be the key to success【3】 Which of the following is TRUE according to Vohs?A.Feeling good doesn’t mean you lead a happy life.B.People with high self-esteem always seek others’ help.C.People with high self-esteem tend to be selfish.D.People with low self-esteem are often more popular.【4】 We can infer from the text that the best therapy mentioned in the last paragraph is mainly for people_____. A.with high self-esteemB.with low self-esteemC.who contribute significantly to societyD.who are in need of support5.Someday a stranger will read your e-mail without your permission or scan the websites you’ve visited. Or perhaps someone will casually glance through your credit card purchases or cell phone bills to find out your shopping preferences or calling habits.I n fact, it’s likely that some of these things have already happened to you. Who would watch you without your permission? It might be a husband or wife, a girlfriend, a marketing company, a boss, a cop or a criminal. Whoever it is, they will see you in a way you never intended to be seen—the 21st century equivalent (相等物) of being caught naked.Psychologists tell us boundaries are healthy, that it’s important to reveal yourself to friends, family and lovers in stages, at appropriate times. But few boundaries remain. The digital bread pieces you leave everywhere make it easy for strangers to reconstruct who you are, where you are and what you like. In some cases, a simple Google search can reveal what you think. Like it or not, increasingly we live in a world where you simply cannot keep a secret.The key question is Does that matter?For many Americans, the answer apparently is “no.”When opinion polls ask Americans about privacy, most say they are concerned about losing it. A survey found a serious depression about privacy, with 60 percent of respondents saying they feel their privacy is “slipping away, and that bothers me.”But people say one thing and do another. Only a tiny part of Americans change any behaviors in an effort to preserve their privacy. Few people turn down a discount at tollbooths (收费站) to avoid using the EZ-Pass system that can track automobile movements. And few turn down supermarket loyalty cards. Privacy economist Alessanfro Acquisti has run a series of tests that reveal people will surrender personal information like Social Security numbers just to get their hands on a pitiful 50-cents-off coupon (优惠券).But privacy does matter—at least sometimes. It’s like health.When you have it, you don’t notice it. Only when it’s gone do you wish you’d done more to protect it.【1】 What would psychologists advise on the relationships between friends?A.There should be a distance even between friends.B.Friends should always be faithful to each other.C.Friends should open their hearts to each other.D.There should be fewer disagreements between friends.【2】Why does the author say “we live in a world where you simply cannot keep a secret”?A.People leave tracks around when using modern technology.B.Modern society has finally developed into an open society.C.There are always people who are curious about others’ affairs.D.Many search engines profit by revealing people’s identities.【3】 What do most Americans do about privacy protection?A.They change behaviors that might disclose their identity.B.They talk a lot but hardly do anything about it.C.They rely more and more on electronic devices.D.They use various loyalty cards for business deals.【4】 According to the passage, privacy is like health because __________.A.its importance is rarely understoodB.people don’t treasure it until they lose itC.it is something that can easily be lostD.people will make every effort to keep it四、其他完成句子(共10小题;每小题2分,满分20分)【1】The method seems good but it needs ________________________. (try)这种方法似乎不错,但需要试验一下。

2020-2021学年湖北省黄冈中学高二(下)月考英语试卷 (三)(附答案详解)

2020-2021学年湖北省黄冈中学高二(下)月考英语试卷(三)一、阅读理解(本大题共15小题,共37.5分)AIn this most unusual year, the gift of giving will feel especially good. These tips can help make the season merry and bright for everyone.What's Different This YearHot Ticket Items May Be Extra Hot:Some companies have reduced their holiday ordering this year to cut down stock, so popular products might sell out fast — in stores and online. So if you see a good price for an item on your list, be sure to grab it. And plan to ship gifts at least two weeks before Christmas Eve.Online Sales Will Start EarlyThis year, it maybe more like Cyber Season, with online promotions and sales starting right after Halloween. With concerns about crowds, retailers will likely save a lot of their inventory (存货)for online sales. To avoid parking lot chaos, try to pick up your purchases first thing in the morning or later in the evening, when wait times should be shorter.Outlets Are Online TooIf one of your holiday shopping traditions is a trip to the outlets, you can still experience the thrill of the bargain hunt—from home. is the virtual version of the country's largest outlet company. In someways, it's even better than an in-person trip because you can shop by item or category and immediately see what different retailers have in stock, rather than going store to store .When to ShopNot on Thanksgiving:Many stores that opened their doors on the holiday last year have announced that they will be closed this year. One upside for shoppers is rock-bottom prices as some stores liquidate(清仓). The downsides:They might not be around if you need to return something or use a gift card. In other words:Bankruptcy buyers beware.1.Which is the best time to send gifts?______A. October 30.B. December 9.C. December 15.D. December 24.2.What can we learn about holiday shopping this year?______A. Shoppers can only buy items online.B. Shopping on Thanksgiving is the best choice.C. Popular products might sell out fast only in stores.D. Shoppers may see a good price for an item right after Halloween.3.Who will be most interested in this passage?______A. People who are money-less.B. People who like shopping at home.C. People who are retailers.D. People who are fond of bargains.BDuring the first half of the year 2020,Australia experienced an extreme drought followed by disastrous bushfires and heavy rainfall that brought massive flooding. Next came the pandemic. With people not coming in to the lab or staying only long enough to conduct their experiments, we lost our sense of interpersonal connection. Then, in July, our director shared that she had been diagnosed with a rare and aggressive cancer.In the wake of that shocking announcement, one of the center's group leaders suggested we send our director weekly good news to keep her informed and to try to lift her spirits. One week later, we sent the first email.The effect of this simple newsletter — which went to our director and all the group members as well as leaders — was significant. "I love good news time," a colleague wrote, "It really is uplifting."These days, we collect good news every Wednesday and send out an email every Friday. The process and format are simple and plain, making the newsletter sustainable. Good news includes winning awards and scholarships, much-needed new computers arriving, a student submitting their essays, publishing papers, becoming parents, turning 40,and — of course —growing roses on one's balcony.Last month, one group leader's good news was that, after breaking his arm, he finally had his cast(石膏)removed. The next week, he reported that his daughter broke her arm, saying that the number of broken bones in his family is a conserved quantity. It wasn't exactly good news, but it did make me laugh quietly. Equally important, sharing it helps us stay connected in these difficult times.Regardless of what the future holds, we plan to continue to share our good news.4.In which aspect do the author and his members benefit from the news in the text?______A. Improving working efficiency.B. Creating a competitive atmosphere.C. Strengthening each other's bond.D. Being reminded of positive things.5.What is the main purpose of paragraph 1?______A. To lay the foundation for academic research.B. To describe how unlucky they were in 2020.C. To provide background for sharing good news.D. To stress the necessity of cheering up the unfortunate.6.Which of the following best describes the news listed in paragraph 4?______A. No good news is too small to share.B. Good news helps sweep away tragedies.C. News making you laugh is good news.D. Never ignore the positive side in bad news.7.How do you find the group leader mentioned in paragraph5?______A. Humorous.B. Easy-going.C. Sympathetic.D. Open-minded.CAlthough it has been revealed in recent years that plants are capable of seeing, hearing and smelling,they are still usually thought of as silent. But now, for the first time, they have been recorded making ultrasonic (超声的)cries when stressed, which researchers say could open up a new field of precision agriculture where farmers listen for water-starved crops.Itzhak Khait and his colleagues at Tel Aviv University in Israel found that tomato and tobacco plants made cries at frequencies humans cannot hear when stressed by a lack of water or when their stem is cut.Microphones placed 10 centimetres from the plants picked up sounds in the ultrasonic range of 20 to 100 kilohertz, which the team says insects and some mammals would be capable of hearing and responding to from as far as 5 metres away. A moth may decide against laying eggs on a plant that sounds water-stressed, the researchers suggest. Plants could even hear that other plants are short of water and react accordingly, they speculate (推断).On average, drought-stressed tomato plants made 35 sounds an hour, while tobacco plantsmade 11. When plant stems were cut, tomato plants made an average of 25 sounds in the following hour, and tobacco plants 15. Unstressed plants produced fewer than one sound per hour, on average.It is even possible to distinguish between the sounds to know what the stress is. The researchers trained a machine-learning model to recognize between the plants' sounds and the wind, rain and other noises of the greenhouse, correctly identifying in most cases whether the stress was caused by dryness or a cut, based on the sound's intensity and frequency. Water-hungry tobacco appears to make louder sounds than cut tobacco, for example.Enabling farmers to listen for water-stressed plants could "open a new direction in the field of precision agriculture",the researchers suggest. They add that such an ability will be increasingly important as climate change exposes more areas to drought."The suggestion that the sounds that drought-stressed plants make could be used in precision agriculture seems feasible (可行的)if it is not too costly to set up the recording in a field situation," says Anne Visscher at the royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, in the UK.She warns that the results can't yet be broadened out to other stresses, such as salt or temperature, because these may not lead to sounds. In addition, there have been no experiments to show whether moths or any other animal can hear and respond to the sounds the plants make, so that idea remains based on guesses for now, she says.8.The experiment by researchers at Tel Aviv University shows that ______ .A. tomato plants cry more often than tobacco when hurtB. plant sounds can be heard by plants quite far awayC. humans can hear water-hungry plants cryingD. moths like laying eggs on stressed plant9.Taking advantage of the new research finding, farmers can ______ .A. harvest crops in timeB. reduce greenhouse effectsC. diagnose plant condition fasterD. detect and remove insects easily10.What is Anne Visscher's attitude towards the finding of the experiment?______A. DisappointedB. Cautious.C. Appreciative.D. Optimistic.11.Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?______A. Plants get stressed Just Like UsB. Sounds of Plants Detected Far AwayC. Cries of plants break Farmers' HeartsD. Plants scream in the presence of stressDEver wonder how your brain works when making decisions bigger than medium versus spicy sauce, like buying a car or accepting a job offer?Researchers from the University of Dundee in Scotland conducted a study that clarifies why you may want to have a small bite before making that big decision.Benjamin Vincent from the University of Dundee's Psychology department and his co-author Jordan Skyrnka tested 50 people two times:once when they followed their normal eating patterns and once when they did not eat anything during the day. Using three different types of rewards (food, money, and song downloads),the team discovered when presented with the choice of receiving the reward now versus double the award at some point in the future, participants would usually volunteer to wait for 35 days to earn a larger bounty,but when they were hungry, they said they would only wait three days."We wanted to know whether being in a state of hunger had a specific effect on how you make decisions only relating to food or if it had broader effects, and this research suggests decision-making gets more present-focused when people are hungry," Vincent said in a story about the study on the university's website. "You would predict that hunger would impact people's preferences relating to food, but it is not yet clear why people get morepresent-focused for completely unrelated rewards. Hunger is so common that it is important to understand the non-obvious ways in which our preferences and decisions may be affected by it," he said.In an earlier study of the subject by a team at Cambridge University in England, the researchers noted that serotonin(血清素)plays a major role in the decision-making process. "Since the raw material for making serotonin—an amino acid(氨基酸)called tryptophan(色氨酸)— only comes from diet, levels of the chemical decline between meals," reports a piece in the Telegraph about the study. "This can lead to aggressiveness and impulsiveness," say the team.12.How did Benjamin Vincent and Jordan Skyrnka carry out their research?______A. By analyzing reasons.B. By making comparison.C. By giving examples.D. By filling questionnaires.13.The underlined word "bounty" in paragraph 2 can be best replaced by ______ .A. bonus.B. quantity.C. income.D. fortune.14.What conclusion can we draw from Vincent' study?______A. It's common to make a wrong decision if you are hungry.B. Make sure you are not hungry before making a big decision.C. The more hungry you are, the quicker you will make a decision.D. Being hungry drives you to make a decision connected with food.15.What is the last paragraph mainly about?______A. What should be eaten to make a wise man.B. How can we get enough serotonin from our diet.C. What other factors will influence one's decision-making.D. How does a chemical function in the course of making a decision.二、阅读七选五(本大题共5小题,共12.5分)Have you ever been bored and decided to check social media,only to find out that your best friend is at Disneyland,that one of your classmates is eating delicious pizza at your favorite pizza store,and that one of your soccer teammates is climbing the Eiffel Tower in Paris?Have you ever had that feeling that others are experiencing things and enjoying life more than you are?Oh,man!You're missing out! (1) Researchers call that feeling the fear of missing out or FoMO.(2) It's so easy today to see what your friends are doing from the social media.Unluckily,we only have so much time in the day and only so much money to spend on food or entertainment that it would be impossible for us to enjoy all the same activities we see others take part in on social media.Rather than realizing this basic truth,though,we usually let FoMO lead us to compare our lives with those of others on social media. (3) Why?We know all the sides of our lives— both good and bad.but all we see on social media are the picture-perfect moments others share.(4) FoMO makes us check social media more frequently,leading to addiction and a negative cycle that can be hard to break.Researchers have found that social media and FoMO can cause serious negative results,including feeling of depression,loneliness and boredom.(5) Researchers advise that we stop looking to social media for happiness.Instead,we should focus our attention on our real lives,including the people around us and all the things we're grateful for.A.Have you ever experienced FoMO?B.At least that's what you might think.C.This certainly leaves us feeling dissatisfied.D.So how do we break the cycle and avoid FoMO?E.Over 75% of young people report feeling FoMO from time to time.F.As famous Theodore Roosevelt said, "Comparison is the thief of joy".G.If you let FoMO control you,the only thing you'll really be missing out on is your own life.16. A. A B. B C. C D. D E.E F.F G. G17. A. A B. B C. C D. D E.E F.F G. G18. A. A B. B C. C D. D E.E F.F G. G19. A. A B. B C. C D. D E.E F.F G. G20. A. A B. B C. C D. D E.E F.F G.

"It's like talking to a wall!" I know that feeling well.But I'm learning slowly that talking at is not the same as talking with.Giving advice to children can be full of problems.Though we may see ourselves(29)the wisdom of our years,they see something else.They see a(30)parent who hasn't accepted the fact that they're adults with their own thoughts and feelings.They're not (31)any tips.They may not even want a(n)(32)solution to a difficult problem.What they're hoping for is a safe place to talk with a person who loves and(33)them no matter what.Because of this,I've given myself the (34)of becoming a better parent by being a better listener.It's not an easy task for parents like me but I'm (35).21.
