Most chocolate today comes from West Africa, where small landholders grow more than three million tons of the fruit of the cocoa tree. To turn that fruit into chocolate requires labor-and much of that labor is performed by children. More than 100, 000 children in Ivory Coast and Ghana help produce more than half of the world's cocoa, according to the US State Department. Worse, at least 10, 000 0f these kids are likely treated as slaves. The cocoa industry, including giants such as Hershey's or Cadbury, promised in 2001to end such child labor in the cocoa gardens. But the deadline for voluntary compliance has been continually pushed back and the current goal is to ensure that some 50 percent of farms are child-labor free. Fair Trade certified chocolate can help, as well as ensure that African farmers profit from the cocoa trade.。

英语_广东省某校2017届高三第三次模拟考试英语试题含答案

广东省某校2017届高三第三次模拟考试英语试题一、阅读选择1.(1)Which of the following statements is TRUE about the studio’s services?A Frames come in three different colors and sizes.B There is no need to make an appointment to take photos.C Photographs will be delivered within three business days.D Someone on the staff can help customers look good.(2)How much can non-club members save when they use the Fantastic Package Plan instead of buying the same products individually?A $20.B $30.C $40.D $50.(3)We can learn from the text that ______.A club members need to pay a $40 membership fee every yearB as many as five pictures can be included in a Multi-image sheetC customers can receive a 20th anniversary discount until December 31D you must have a Fantastic Club membership to receive a free gift2.When I went home to the little country town after my dad's death, I found myself wondering how kids could ever repay all their parents have done for them.After Dad's funeral a woman came up to me and said, "I just got to tell you how much your daddy meant to our family. He kept my two boys out of jail.",Then she burst into tears. Dad was an officer of the police force and there wasn't a more loved man anywhere. He would make about $12 a week, and he was always giving away some of that. With Dad giving away his money we never had much cash around the house. Mother didn't complain—she just went to work. She got a job as a waitress in a restaurant 14 hours a day, seven days a week. But Mother was glad to do it because she had a dream. "Your daddy and I want you young ones to make something of yourselves," she'd say to me and to my two sisters.So when I graduated, I had a debt to pay. I was starting out with love and sacrifice behind me. To make it all worth their while, I was determined to accomplish great things. But it didn't work out that way. I had hoped for a job in advertising. So I packed a suitcase, borrowed a few dollars and moved to New York to start my career. I never once got past the receptionist's desk. I tried everything I could think of to be with less shyness and country. I bought myself some clothes like the gray uniform I saw everywhere. I had my hair cut city-style. I even worked at perfecting an eastern accent. But it didn't do any good. I ended up with a job as a typist.I was almost 30 and I'd achieved exactly zero. It was the low point of my life, as far as self-confidence went. And yet, strangely enough, that time was a high point too. I learned to put a name on a feeling I'd struggled with so many years. It was guilt because I had not repaid my parents' investment in me. I came to understand we repay our parents not by "succeeding", but by becoming the completed persons who they intend us to be. The day I put them in the center of my life was the day I took that first step toward becoming a whole person.Then a funny thing happened. When I stopped trying so hard to win success, I relaxed and became plain Jim Nabors from a little country town in Alabama. I dropped the eastern accent.I dressed the way I wanted. I began doing some of the crazy things I'd always wanted to do, like going to an amateur show nights after work and putting on a little comedy. Hometown folks used to say I had a good singing voice so in my comedy I had this country boy suddenly sing in Grand Opera. The audience had as much fun as I did. Then one night Andy Griffith was sitting out front. After the show he asked me to read for a part on his TV program, and I have been in show business ever since.The person least impressed at this change is Mother. She comes out to California, off and on, to cook for me. She's glad I'm steadily employed, of course, but she still puts the money I sent her in a special bank account in my name, "just in case". It's a good precaution. In Hollywood they say you've arrived when they name a sandwich after you. Sure enough, there's a Jim Nabors' Special for sale. But I notice that my name on the menu board is pasted over the name of another actor who "arrived" just a few years ago, and I'm sure someday someone else's name will be pasted over mine.(1)Which of the following does the writer agree with according to the second paragraph?A His father used his power to stop the woman's sons from being punished.B His father spared twelve dollars every week to help the poor ones in need.C His mother workedhard without complaint for the children's future success. D His mother quarreled with his father about the cash and housework frequently.(2)From the passage, we can know the writer NEVER worked as a(n) ______.A advertiserB typistC actorD singer(3)The turning point made the writer understand ______.A failure made people discouragedB failure was the mother of successC a whole person was the best return to his parentsD the best reward to parents was to earn much money(4)What contributed to the writer's success according to the passage?A His appearance.B His personality.C His accent.D His rich experiences.(5)The writer mentioned "a sandwich" in the last paragraph to show us that ______.A his mother took good care of himB his success came and might go quicklyC his mother saved every penny for himD his favorite was a special sandwich(6)The primary purpose of the passage is to tell us ______.A the best way to repay our parents for their sacrificesB being ourselves is the key to achieving success in lifeC it is parents' love not our success that cannotchange D why we should give our thanks to our parents sincerely3.Twelve years ago, Danny called me from a dark, damp subway station. "A baby!" he shouted. "Get down here, and flag down a police car or something." By nature, Danny is a remarkably calm person, so when I felt his heart pounding through the phone line, I ran.When I got to the subway station, Danny was holding a light-brown-skinned baby, about a day old. The baby had been wrapped in an oversize black sweatshirt and left on the ground in a corner behind the gate.What neither of us knew, or could have predicted, was that Danny had not just saved an abandoned infant; he had found our son.Three months later, Danny appeared in family court to give an account of finding the baby. Suddenly, the judge asked, "Would you be interested in adopting this baby?" The question surprised everyone in the courtroom, except Danny, who answered, simply, "Yes.""But I know it's not that easy," he said."Well, it can be," assured the judge before barking out orders to allow me to be a parent-to-be. My first reaction, when I heard, went something like, "Are you crazy? How could you say yes without consulting me?"In three years as a couple, we had never discussed adopting a child. I was an ambitious playwright working as a part-time word processor. Danny was a respected yet wildly underpaid social worker. We had a roommate, who slept in our living room, to help pay the rent.We knew how many challenges couples usually faced when they wanted to adopt. And while Danny had patience and selflessness, I didn't know how to change a diaper(尿布), letalone nurse a child. I didn't trust the system and was sure there would be obstacles. Also, I couldn't handle parenthood. So I promised myself I wouldn't get attached.The caretaker held him and then placed him in my arms. But when the baby stared up at me, with all the innocence and hope he represented, I, like Danny, was completely hooked.(1)Why did the author rush to the subway station?A Because Danny finally found their lost son.B Because she sensed Danny met somethin g urgent.C Because Danny had a heart attack.D Because someone gave birth to a ba by there.(2)How did the author react on hearing Danny's answer to the judge's question?A Surprised by the question.B Crazy to be a parent-to-be. C Annoyed at Danny's decision. D Angry at challenging her authority.(3)It can be inferred from the last paragraph that ______.A the author will adopt the babyB the couple were tempted to take the babyC the b aby will bring hope to the familyD the couple love each other very much(4)What is the author's purpose in writing the passage?A To introduce a story of a poor family.B To inform people of the difficulty of adopting a baby.C To call on people to donate money to them.D To show humans'kindness and love by nature.4.The exact work of ancient astronomers has led to a modern observation—our days are longer than they used to be. Not that you'd noticed: The new research in the Proceedings of the Royal Society A shows that it takes the Earth a tiny bit longer these days to complete a single rotation(转动)than it did millions of years ago. It's the kind of stuff that's measured in milliseconds per century, but those milliseconds add up. Over the last thousands of years, they'd totaled several hours, which the Los Angeles Times puts this way, "If humanity had been measuring time with an atomic clock that started running back in 700 B.C., today that clock would read 7 p.m. when the sun is directly overhead rather than noon. The atomic clock won't lose a second for 15 billion years." Maybe more remarkable is that the work is the result of a tireless 40-year research into ancient time keeping records dating back 2,700 years.Scientists led by Richard Stephenson of the UK's Durham University have been studying Babylonian clay tablets, Chinese observations made through the use of water clocks, and Arab astronomical records that tracked solar and lunar eclipses(日/月食). "The most astonishing thing about this study is the fact that we have this information at all," said a geographer not involved in the study. Researchers are still hoping to find observations from the Incas and the Maya, and to fill in their largest hole between 200 and 600 A.D., but they've measured the Earth's deceleration at 1.8 milliseconds per day per century. Given the moon's gravitational effect on our oceans, the discovery that Earth is decelerating isn't a surprise, notes the Christian Science Monitor, though astronomers had previously estimated a higher rate.(1)Why are days longer than before according to the text?A The earth rotates more and more slowly.B Humanity has got incorrect timekeeping re cords.C It takes longer for the earth to turn around the sun.D The lost milliseconds f or centuries are added to our present days.(2)How did researchers come to the conclusion of the study?A By resetting the rotating time of the earth.B By referring to ancient timekeeping recor ds.C By studying the moon's gravitational effect on the oceans.D By measuring time again with an atomic clock.(3)What can we infer about the study from what the geographer said?A Geography theory supports the result of the study.B The geographer disagrees to the r esearch conclusion.C The scientists'research is meaningless. D It's right to get geographers involved in the study.(4)What is the meaning of the underlined word "deceleration" in Paragraph 2?A Evolution.B Slowdown.C Enlargement.D Development.二、七选五5.根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

黑龙江省哈尔滨市2017届高三模拟试题(三)英语试卷及答案

2017年哈尔滨市高考模拟试题(三)英语第二部分阅读理解(共两节, 满分40分)第一节(共15小题;每小题2分,满分30分)阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。

AGuide dogs enjoy their work very much, and they get a lot of satisfaction from a job well done, but there is no room for typical dog fun during the work day. Games, treats and praise distract the dog from helping its handler navigate (指引方向) the course. Ev en when the handler doesn’t need assistance, a guide dog on the job is trained to ignore distractions and keep still. This is because a guide dog must be able to come to handler’s workplace or be in public places without creating a disturbance(干扰).When you see a guide dog on the job, it is extremely important that you recognize that it is at work. Petting or talking to the dog spreads its concentration, which weakens the handler’s ability to get around in his or her surroundings. People are very impressed with guide dogs and so we have a natural inclination(倾向)to praise them, but the best thing you can do to help a guide dog is to leave it alone so that it can pay attention to its surroundings and maintain its focus on its handler. Guiding is very complicated, and it requires a dog’s undivided attention.When a guide dog gets home at the end of the day, however, it will play and soak up praise just like an ordinary pet. Guide dogs make the difference between work and play based on their lead harness(牵狗用的皮带):When the harness is on, they must stay completely focused---- when it comes off, it’s play time. Guide dogs work very hard every day, but they lead extremely happy lives, full of lots of attention and stimulation.Working as a guide dog requires good physical and mental shape, so guide dogs typically retire just before they enter old age. Retirement is usually at age 8 or 10; but some work for a little longer, and some guide dogs retire earlier if they’re having trouble with the work.21. What do you think is the typical job of a guide dog?A.Help the policemen to search for the murderer.B.Help the blind or weak-sighted people get around .C.Help the doctor to save the injured people.D.Help the owner to watch their house.22. What does the writer want to tell the readers through the passage?A.Guide dogs are so helpful that we should make friends with them.B.Guide dogs are different from other dogs and they have some special talents.C.Guide dogs’ life style and job situation.D.Guide dogs’ trained way by their handlers.23. What does the underlined word “distract” mean in the passage?A.to stop the dog paying attention to what he is doingB.to make the dog think very carefully about what he is doingC.to interrupt the dog so that he cannot do the work wellD.to stop the dog from doing something24. What should you do when meeting with a guide dog at its job?A. Praise it.B. Feed it.C. Play with it.D. Leave it alone.BGriffith Observatory (天文台) is a national leader in public astronomy, and one of the most popular attractions in Los Angeles.

Recently, a virus called Ebola has reappeared in Guinea, killing 62 people so far. It leads to high fever, bleeding and so on. Ebola can kill 90% of those infected (感染), especially in underdeveloped societies like those in Africa.Ebola is named after the Ebola River, where it was first discovered in 1976. There are five different types of the Ebola virus, each named after where they first happened: Sudan, Ivory Coast, Reston, Bundibugyo, and Zaire. The deadliest of the five, Zaire, was responsible for the 2012 outbreak, and is believed to be attacking Guinea.Ebola is naturally found in fruit bats, which pass on the virus to other animals by biting or sucking on their blood. Humans who are suffering from the Ebola infection might have touched the bodily fluids (体液) of the infected animals. Once infected, a human becomes a carrier of the deadly virus.Since we live in an interconnected world, where the situation in one country can affect us all, the effects of Ebola are huge: damaging trade relations, affecting foreign visitors, and weakening entire countries. Already the Guinea virus is spreading fast with a few cases spotted in Conakry—the capital city of Guinea, far away from the origin of the virus. It is feared that the disease may have already reached neighboring Liberia and Sierra Leone, too.Unfortunately, there are no disease-specific treatments for Ebola. Healthcare workers only supply the infected people with water to keep them in good condition. Since there have been many cases of nurses catching the disease from patients, they are forced to wear strict protective clothes, and in some cases, not even allowed to get close to the infected. The fact that there is no cure for the Ebola virus is what makes the outbreak a challenging one to control.29.From the text we know that ________.A. Ebola is naturally found in fruitB. Ebola is a highly infectious virusC. Ebola is a newly discovered diseaseD. Ebola is recently controlled in Guinea30. What is Paragraph 4 mainly about?A. The causes of Ebola.B. The origin of Ebola.C. The treatment for Ebola.D. The influences of Ebola.31. In Ebola infected areas, healthcare workers _______.A. face the danger of catching virusB. take measures to protect the nursesC. give water and medicine to the patientsD. do whatever they can to save the infected32.The text probably comes from ________.A. an English newspaperB. a tourist guideC. a safety brochureD. a medical reportDThere is an English saying : “ Laughter is the best medicine.” Until recently, few people took the saying very seriously. Now however, doctors have begun to study laughter and the effects it has on the human body. They have found facts that laughter really can improve people’s health.Tests were carried out to study the effects of laughter on the body. People watched funny films while doctors checked their heart rate, blood pressure, breathing and muscles. It was found that laughter has similar effects to physical exercise. It increases blood pressure, the heart rate and the rate of breathing; it also works several groups of muscles in the face, the stomach, and even the feet. If laughter exercises the body, it must be beneficial.Other tests have shown that laughter appears to be able to reducing the effect of pain on the body. In one experiment doctors produce pain on the body. In one experiment doctors produce pain in groups of students who listened to different radio programs. The group which tolerated(忍受) the pain for the longest time was the groups which listened to a funny program. The reason why laughter can reduce pain seems to be that it helps to produce endorphins in the brain. These are natural chemicals which diminish both stress and pain.There is also some fact to suggest that laughter helps the body’s immune system, that is, the system which fights infection. In an experiment, one group of students watched a funny video while another group of students served as the control group ---- in other words, a group with which to compare the first group. Doctors checked the blood of the students in both groups and found that the people in the group that watch the video had an increase in the activity of their white blood cells, that is, the cells which fight infection.As a result of these discoveries, some doctors and psychiatrists in the United States now hold laughter clinics, in which they try to improve their patients’ condition by encouraging them to laugh.They have found that even if their patients do not really feel like laughing, making them smile is enough to produce beneficial effects similar to those caused by laughter.33. It can be learnt from the passage that laughter can_______.A. make people feel youngerB. change people’s habitsC. improve peoples healthD. make people love their lives34. Smiling can produce____.A. more effects than laughterB. the same effects as laughterC. less effects on the human bodyD. no effects on the human body35. The main idea of this passage is that ______.A. there are several ways of studying the benefits of laughterB. laughter and physical exercise have the same effects on human bodyC. the doctors should learn how to make people laughD. tests show that laughter can produce beneficial effects on human body第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

Many of the world’s great cities are located on rivers, and almost every country has at least one river flowing through it that plays an the lives of its people.Since the beginning of history, people have used rivers for transportation. The longest one in the United States is the Mississippi. The lifeline of Egypt is the Nile. To the people of India , the Ganges is great, but it is also important for transportation; ships can travel along it for a thousand miles. Other great rivers are the Congo in Africa and the Mekong in southeast Asia, The greatest of all for navigation(航海), however, is the Amazon in Brail, It is so wide and so deep that large ships can go about two thousand miles upon it.Besides transportation, rivers give food, water to drink, water for crops, and chances for fun and recreation for the people who live along their banks. In order to increase the supply of water for crops, engineers sometimes build a dam(大坝) across a river and let a lake form behind the dam. Then people can use the water not only to irrigate(灌溉) their fields but also to make electricity for their homes and industries.However, large cities and industries that are located upon rivers often make problems. As the cities grow in size and industries increase in number, the water in the rivers becomes polluter with chemicals and other materials. People are learning the importance, however, of doing more to keep their rivers clean if they want to enjoy the benefits(利益) of this natural resource.56.The greatest river for navigation is _________.A. the AmazonB. the NileC. the MekongD. the Mississippi57.Which is Wrong?A.The Nile is India.B.Almost every country has at least one important river.C.Many cities are located on rivers.D.Rivers play an important part in the lives of people.58.From a dam, people can use the water for______.A. keeping the rivers cleanB. only making electricityC. washing clothesD. irrigation and making electricity59.The water in the river is polluted because of _____.A. people’s drinking water too muchB. people’s swimming in the river too muchC. chemicals and other materialsD. people’s building a dam across a river60.

Natural ResourcesB.A friend of mine named Paul received an expensive car from his brother as a Christmas present.On Christmas Eve when Paul came out of his office,a street urchin (顽童) was walking around the shining car.“Is this your car,Paul?”he asked.Paul answered,“Yes,my brother gave it to me for Christmas.”The boy was surprised.“You mean your brother gave it to you and it didn’t cost you nothing?Sir,I wish…”He hesitated(犹豫).Paul thought of course he knew what the boy wanted, but what the boy said surprised him greatly.“I wish,” the boy went on, “that I could be a brother like that.”Paul looked at the boyin surprise, and then he said again, “Would you like to take a ride in my car?”“Oh yes,I’d love to.”The boy answered.After a short ride,the boy turned and with his eyes shining,said,“Paul,would you minddriving in front of my house?”Paul smiled a little.He thought he knew what the boy wanted.He wanted to show his neighbours that he could ride home in a big car. But Paul was wrong again. “Will you stop where those two steps are?” the boy asked.He ran up to the steps. Then in a short while Paul heard him coming back, but he was not coming fast. He was carrying his little crippled (残疾的) brother. He sat him down on the step and pointed to the car.“There she is, Buddy, just like I told you upstairs. His brother gave it to him for Christmas and it didn’t cost him a cent. And some day I’m going to give you one just like it…then you can see for yourself all the nice things in the Christmas windows that I’ve been trying to tell you about.”Paul got out and lifted the boy to the front seat of his car.

Chile. A good week may see her cut 1, 100 pounds of seaweed from the rocks where it grows.Muftoz is one of the 30^000 people for whom Chile's seaweed industry provides a livelihood. Throughout Latin America, the cultivation(种植) and collection of seaweed art1gaining a support both as a source of food and as in means of ensuring food security in a region where 34million people are food insecure and poverty affects 47percent of the rural population. Countries such as Argentina, Brazil, Colombia. Cuba, Ecuador, Mexico, Peru, and Veoczuela have all explored seaweed production for food. Yet as demand outpaces production and wild stocks have declined, more arrendon is being paid to sustainable cultivation and harvesting methods that can keep I he industry surviving.Seaweed has n long history in South American style of cooking. The native cooking of Chile made frequent use of cochayuyo, the most abundant of the country^ 750 types of seaweed. . Today, cochayuyo is commonly found in place of meat incharquican, a traditional dish cooked slowly in a closed pan.Kelp, a type of large brown seaweed, as the new vegetable h a global trend too, and for good reason, Nutritiomdly, seaweed is packed with iodine and other nutrients, and appears on trend-making menus in Google’s New York cafeteria, though it used to be thought difficult to get people to eat it.While 83percent of cultivated sea vegetables are produced for human consumption, we aren't just eating it. Seaweed is used in fertilizers and animal feed, and seaweed-based food additives are likely in many products in your kitchen and bathroom right now. Carrageenan, made from red seaweed, is in everything from shampoo and toothpaste to ice cream and some hot dogs.While seaweed grows readily- there are concerns that humans are taking too much of the wild stuff. It is possible that overexploitation of natural seaweed resources could lead to significant ecological, economic, and social consequences at local, regional, and even global scales. In Lalin American countries like Brazil and Peru, where the seaweed industry is based on harvesting wild seaweed rather than cultivated, the need for environmentally friendly models is urgent.58.What do you know about seaweed? _____A.It is hard to grow.

Every day. intentionally or unintentionally, we make a large number of connections with people around the world.Our personal growth and evolution (and the evolution of societies) come about as a result of connecting with our fellow humans, whether as a band of young warriors setting out on a hunt or as a group of co-workers heading out to the local bakery after work on Friday, As a species(物种), we are instinctively(本能地) driven to come together and form groups of friends, associations and communities, Without them, we cannot exist.Making connections is what our gray matter does best. It receives information from our sense and processes it by making associations. It grows quickly when it's making connections.People do the same thing. It's a scientific fact that people who stay socially and physically active hive a longer life. This doesn't mean staying with the same old crowd and going around on an exercise bike. It means getting out and making new friends.When you make new connections in the outside world_ you make new connections in the inside world—in your brain. This keeps you young and alert(机警的)-Edward M. Hallowell, in his book Connect, cites the 1979Alameda County Study by Dr, Lisa Bergman of the Harvard School of Health Sciences. Dr, Berkman and her team carefully looked at 7, 000 people- aged 35to 65, over a period of nine yews. Their study concludes that people who lack social and community connections are almost three times more likely to die of medical illness than those who have more contacts. And all this is independent of socioeconomic status and health practices such as smoking, alcoholic beverage consumption or physical activity!Other people can also help you take care of your needs and desires, Whatever it is you'd like in this life—romance, a dream job, ticket to the Rose Bowl—the chances are pretty high that you'll need someone's help to get it. If people like you. they will be willing to give you their time and their efforts. And the better the quality of harmonious relationship you have with them, the higher the level of their cooperation.61.Which of the following is laid great stress on in the passage? _____A.Our fate is decided by the companions we keep.B.People connect with each other out of necessity.C.Contacts between people are essential for our life.D.Conned ion is established when we work together.62.The underlined part44gray matter” in Paragraph 3refers to _____A.nerve B.cell C.sight D.brain63.Dr, Berkman and his team's study reverb _____A.a wonder cure for deadly diseasesB.a vital function of connectingC.a great encouragement to smokersD.a practical way to connection64.Which of the following can be Inc. proper little for the passage? _____A.The Benefits of Connecting B.The Progress of ConnectionC.The Methods of Connecting D.The Features of ConnectionDMy grandmother Rosalind Einkorn was born exactly fifty-two year's before I was, on August 28, 1917, Like many poor Jewish families in New York City, hers lived in a small, crowded apartment close to their relatives. Her parents, aunts, and uncles addressed her male cousins by their given names, but she and her sister were referred to only as "Girlie”.During the Depression t my grandmother was pulled out of Morris High School to help support the household by sewing fabric flowers onto undergarments that her mother could resell for a tiny profit. No one in the community would have considered taking a boy out of school. A boy's education was the family's hope to move up the financial and social ladder Education for girls, however, was less significant both financially, since they were unlikely to contribute to the family's income, and culturally, since hoys were expected to study the Torah while girls were expected to run a “proper home?!”Luckily for my grandmother, a local teacher insisted that her parents put her back into school. She went on not only to finish high school but to graduate from U. C Berkeley.After college, “Girlie”worked selling pocketbooks and accessories at David's Fifth Avenue. When she left her job to marry my grandfather, David's had to hire four people to replace her. Years later, when my grandfathers paint business was struggling, she jumped in and look some of the hard steps he was reluctant to take, helping to save the family from financial ruin. She displayed her business ability again in her forties. After being diagnosed(诊断)with breast cancer, she beat it and then devoted herself to raising money for the clinic that treated her by selling some watches. Girlie ended up with a profit that Apple would envy. I have never met anyone with more energy and determination than, my grandmother.When my grandmother had children of her own—my mother and her two brothers—she emphasized education for all of them. My mother attended the University of Pennsylvania, When she graduated in 1965with a degree in French literature, she surveyed a workforce that she believed consisted of two career options for women: teaching or nursing. She chose teaching. She began a Ph. D.programmer, got married, and then dropped out when shebecame pregnant with me. It was thought to be a sign of weakness if a husband needed his wife's help to support their family, so my mother became a stay-at-home parent and an active volunteer. The centuries-old division of labor stood.Even though I grew up in a traditional home, my parents had the same expectations for me. my sister, and my brother. All three of us were encouraged to do well in school. do equal routine tasks, and participate in after-school activities. We were all supposed to be athletic too. My brother and sister joined sports teams, but I was the kid who got picked last in gym, Despite my athletic shortcomings. I was raised to believe that girls could do anything boys could do and that all career paths were open to me.When I arrived at college in the fall of 1987.my classmates of both genders seemed equally focused on academics. I don't remember thinking about my future career differently from the male students. I also don't remember any conversations about someday balancing work and children. My friends and I assumed that we would have both. Men and women competed openly and aggressively with one another in classes, activities, and job interviews. Just two generations removed from my grandmother, the playing field seemed to be level.But more than twenty years after my college graduation. the world has not evolved nearly as much as I believed it would. Almost all of my male classmates work in professional settings. Sonic of my female classmates work full-time or part-time outside the home. and just as many are stay-at-home mothers and volunteers like my mom. This mirrors the national trend. In comparison to their male counterparts(相同能力者), highly trained women are scaling back and dropping out of the workforce in high numbers.65.Why were the writer's grandma and her sisters called "Girli e”? _____A.They had not yet got their given names.B.They were highly valued by their ciders,C.They shared apparent similarities in many ways.D.They were regarded as less important than boys.66.From Paragraph 2we can mainly learn _____A.how people suffered during I he DepressionB.what resulted in the social division of laborC.who took responsibility for supporting a familyD.why education was essential for all the children67.What conclusion am we draw about the writer's grandmother? _____A.She was an extraordinarily able and tough woman.B.She was full of ideas for solving various problems,C.She benefited greatly from her family background,D.She had special ways of teaching her own children,68.What might people think when the writer s mother gave up her job? _____A.Her freedom of choice ought to be well respectedB.Her job should be taken over by a younger person,C.It was a real shame about her losing that good job.D.It was quite normal for a woman like her to do so.69.From the description of the writer's own life, we can see _____A.great expectations in the students' mindsB.seeming social progress in certain aspectC.innocent friendship between boys and girlsD.positive attitudes to work and competitions70.By writing the passage* the writer intends to reveal _____A.the necessity of women's educationB.the importance of women's liberationC.the existence of gender discriminationD.the lives of three generations of women第Ⅱ卷(两部分共35分)第四部分任务型阅读(共10小题;每小题1分,满分10分)请认真阅读短文,并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入1个最恰当的单词.注意:请将答案写在答题卡上相应题号店的横线上.每个空格只填1个单词.When was the last time you read a. book, or a magazine article?

AThe oldest living person celebrated a birthday earlier this week. Emma Morano celebrated her 117th birthday on Tuesday. Friends, neighbors and her doctor joined Morano in her small apartment home in the northern Italian mountain town of Verbania. She blew out three candles on her birthday cake. Each candle represented a number in her age.“I am happy to turn 117,” Morano told those attending her party. She received a greeting from Italy’s president, Sergio Mattarella. He wished her peace and continued good health. Emma Morano is thought to be the last living person born in the 1800s. She outlived all her brothers and sisters,including one who died at age 102.Her doctor noted that when Morano was young, people used to say she was weak and often sick. “Yes, yes,” she said.

Then, at age 26, she was forced to marry a man she did not love. She said the man threatened tokill her if he did not marry her. She had a son, but the baby died after just six months.

She decided to take her 93-year-old grandmother from their hometown and live with her in a rented room just off campus. Liu’s family suffered a lot in 2016. In March, her grandmother broke her leg; in April,Liu’s father passed away. Liu’s mother, plagued by these events, lost the ability to take care of others.“This was the only choice. No one else could care for her,” Liu explained. Liu’s grandmother has also had a hard life. The old woman’s three s ons have all died,and Liu couldn’t leave her alone where nobody could look after her. A room with two beds, a wardrobe, a desk and a table is the new home in Chengdu. The room costs 600 RMB per month. Liu’s younger brother works in the same city and spends most of his 2,000 RMB salary supporting the family.“I was brought up by my grandma,and now it’s my turn to take care of her,” said Liu. When they were young,their capable grandmother “magically”prepared lunch on time for her grandchildren, even though she could not read a clock.In the eyes of Liu’s teacher Zhang Na, the girl is an exemplary student. Liu has applied for a work-study program at the university.“Though taking care of her grandmother requires lots of energy, Liu has managed to stay on top of all her courses. She is even preparing for an English singing contest,” Zhang said. Liu declines financial help from others.“It’s kind of like reaping without sowing,” she explained.

She is highly thought of by her teacher.C. She falls behind others in the study.D. She received a lot of help in her university.CTeachers have always had to deal with cheating students. But in today’s high-tech world, new devices are making it much easier for students to cheat.Smart CheatingNile Nickel is a technology and social media expert. He says many students put information into their mobile phones to cheat on tests. They can then hide their cheating by using other devices to view the information. Earlier this year, officials caught several Thai students cheating this way during exams to get into a top medical school.“What they were doing was looking at the test with their glasses on,” Nickel said. “It was capturing t he exam questions, transmitting them to some associates outside the classroom.”He added that some students even have smartwatches that only show information if they are viewed with special glasses. Some phones also have a very low ring sound that can only be heard by younger people, according to Nickel.Anti-cheating toolsDenise Pope is a learning expert at Stanford University in California. She says changing the way tests are structured can prevent cheating. She also says the best tests require students to write their answers instead of choosing from a list of choices. Many schools already have barred students from taking smartphones into testing rooms. Others are experimenting with looking for radio signals or other methods to discover hidden devices used to cheat. But Pope said one of the most important ways to help stop cheating is to get teachers, students and parents to talk openly about it. She says this can help students better understand the reasons for holding themselves to a high standard of honesty.29.How did several Thai students cheat according to the text?A. They have smartwatches to show information if they are viewed with special glasses.B. They use smart phones that have a very low ring sound only be heard by younger people.C. They capture and transmit test’s infor-mation to some partners outside the classroomwith the help of their glasses.D. They put information into their mobile phones to cheat on tests.30.Which is not the way to prevent the student from cheating in the test according to the text?A. To ask students to turn in progress of their work before it is complete.B. To change the way that tests are structured.C. To require students to write their answers rather than choose from a list of choices.D. To stop students from taking smartphones into testing rooms.31.What can we infer from what Denise Pope has said?A. Improving the learning and testing process can help cut down on cheating.B. The teachers should combine with the parents to cope with the cheating.C. We should use advanced devices tostop the students from cheating in the test.D. Making the students aware of theimportance of honesty is one of the mosteffective ways to stop cheating.DHuman bird flu has killed two people in China this winter, but the chance of large-scale outbreaks remains low nationwide, a senior health o fficial said on Friday. “The nation is at risk of sporadic(零星的) human bird flu cases now, in the peak season of viruses, but the chance of a mass outbreak is very slim,” said Mao Qun’an, spokesman for the National Health and Family Planning Commission.Local health authorities in East China’s Anhui province confirmed on Friday that there have been five H7N9 bird flu cases in the province since Dec. 8 and two people have died.

Because of this, China is well prepared to contain outbreaks,” he said. He warned people to avoid freque nt contact with wild birds and live poultry.32.

Band of the dayProvides you with new lesser﹣known artists and groups to listen to every singleday!Download the app, turn on notifications, and you'll get a daily recommendation.BandsintownIf you live for live music, Bandsintown will automatically download your library and suggest concerts you might like based on that list.If a new concert is announced in your area, you will get an automatic e﹣mail with the details.Basically, you will never miss another show.Here is the best part: You can buy tickets through the app.SoundcloudIt is the place to find up﹣and﹣coming musicians and remixed singles.Anyone can share and ad music, leading to endless possibilities.The app is a streaming(流媒体)service, online community, and creative outlet.For fans, it makes it possible to keep up with your favorite artists'latest releases.(1)What do Indie shuffle and Band of the day have in common?________A They can both provide lesser﹣known artists.B They can both offer live music show.C Downloading music is free.D They are the most popular.(2)Which app could give you suggestions according to what genres and artists you already listen to?________A Indie shuffle.B Rormix.C Band of the day.D Bandsintown.(3)What do we know about Bandsintown?________A It provides you with new lesser﹣known artists and groups.B You can save songs or artists you like.C It is an online community.D It is the favorite of those who love live music.(4)Where does the text probably come from?________A Science fiction.B A biography.C An advertisement.D A travel guide.2. A handshake is one of the most common ways to greet others, but US President Donald Trump's unusual method has been put under the microscope lately.Much like an arm wrestler in a match, the recently﹣elected leader has a habit of yanking (猛拉) people's hands toward himself during handshakes.And while a typical handshake is only brief, the one between him and Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe on Feb 10 lasteda full 19 seconds.Simply having a strong hand is not the explanation here.According to Darren Stanton, a body language expert from the UK, while handshakes are usually an exchange of kindness, Trump uses his as a way to show power and control, regardless of how uncomfortable it makes people."It is as if to say, ‘Hey, I'm in charge, don't mess withme, '"Stanton told The Independent.Apart from Trump's"yank﹣shake", there are other ways people display power with their hands.At business talks or political meetings, for example, some people may rotate (旋转)their wrists during handshakes so that their hand ends up on top instead of underneath.Some may squeeze so hard that it leaves the other person's hand in pain.According to Stanton, by pulling people into his personal space, Trump is also testing whether they are willing to cooperate with him."For example, if someone was resistant to being yanked towards him and ________, he would know that he has work to do with them before he got what he wanted, "Stanton told Express.This is probably why on Feb 13when Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau visited the White House, all eyes were on how he was going to handle Trump's handshake.Fortunately, Trudeau managed to avoid the embarrassment by grabbingTrump's shoulder to stop himself being pulled in.Afterward, some Twitter users wrote that this proved Trudeau's strong leadership, with one even calling the moment"one of Canada's greatest victories".Vice magazine summed up the exchange between the two leaders as: "…no regular handshake.This was the first shot in a bloodless war."(1)According to Darren Stanton,Trump uses his"yank﹣shake"to________.a.show his kindnessb.gain controlc.remind people of his statusd.see if people are cooperativee.get people to lower their guardA bcd.B abc.C ace.D bde.(2)The phrase"stood their ground"in Paragraph 5 probably means________.A going ahead.B standing still.C turning around.D pulling out.(3)According to the text,the way Trudeau reacted to Trump's handshake________.A annoyed Trump.B displayed his power.C was considered rude.D was likely to start a war.(4)What can be concluded from the text?________A Some people spin their wrists during handshakes to show extrarespect. B Handshakes are the most preferable way for political leaders to greet others. C The way someone shakes another person's hand can have different meanings. D The longer two people shake their hands,the better their relationship is.3. A new study has discovered that meditation(冥想)and oxygen sport together reduce depression.The Rutgers University study found that this mind and body combination, done twice a week for only two months, reduced the symptoms for a group of students by 40 percent."We are excited by the findings because we saw such a meaningful improvement in both clinically depressed and non﹣depressed students, "said lead author Dr.Brandon Alderman."It is the first time that both of these two behavioral ways have been looked at together for dealing with depression."Researchers believe the two activities have an interactive effect in ________ depression.Alderman and Dr.Tracey Shors discovered that a combination of mental and physical training (MAP) enabled students with major depressive disorder not to let problems or negative thoughts defeat them.Rutgers researchers say those who participated in the study began with 30 minutes of focused attention meditation followed by 30 minutes of oxygen sport.They were told that if their thoughts drifted to the past or the future they should refocus on theirbreathing, enabling those with depression to accept moment﹣to﹣moment changes in attention.Shors, who studies the production of new brain cells in the hippocampus﹣part of thebrain involved in memory and learning﹣says scientists have shown in animal models that oxygen sport exercise keeps a large number of certain cells alive.The idea for the human intervention(干预)came from her laboratory studies, she says, with the main goal of helping individuals acquire new skills so that they can learn to recover from stressful life events.By learning to focus their attention and exercise, people who are fighting depression can acquire new learning skills that can help them process information and reduce the overwhelming recollection of memories from the past, Shors says."We know these treatments can be practiced over a lifetime and that they will be effectivein improving mental health."said Alderman."The good news is that this intervention can be practiced by anyone at any time and at no cost."(1)What made the research so different?________A Adopting a way of meaningful talk.B Combining the two behavioral ways to treat depression.C Treating depression with special medicine.D Comparing the depressed with the non﹣depressed.(2)The underlined word"combating"in Paragraph 3 can be replaced by________.A fighting.B identifying.C distinguishing.D examining.(3)What did the participants do in the research?________A They did oxygen sport half an hour before thinking.B They thought quietly and then took exercise.C They took exercise longer than they thought.D They took exercise while thinking quietly.(4)What is Shors'main purpose of her studies?________A To find out certain brain cells of humans.B To study the production of new brain cells.C To offer people a new method to treat stress.D To decide the links between stress and exercise.4. Take a look at the following list of numbers: 4, 8, 5, 3, 7, 96.Read them loud.Now look away and spend 20seconds memorizing them in order before saying them out loud again.If you speak English, you have about a 50% chance of remembering those perfectly.If you are Chinese, though, you're almost certain to get it right every time.Why is that? Because we most easily memorize whatever we can say or read within a two﹣second period.And unlike English, the Chinese language allows them to fit all those seven numbers into two seconds.That example comes from Stanislas Dahaene's book The Number Sense.As Dahaene explains: Chinese number words are remarkably brief.Most of them can be spoken out in less than one﹣quarter of a second (for instance, 4is"si"and 7"qi").Their English pronunciations are longer.The memory gap between English and Chinese apparently is entirely due to this difference in length.It turns out that there is also a big difference in how number﹣naming systems in Western and Asian languages are constructed.In English, we sayfourteen, sixteen, seventeen, eighteen and nineteen, so one might expect that we would also say oneteen, twoteen, threeteen, and fiveteen.But we don't.We use a differentform: eleven, twelve, thirteen and fifteen.For numbers above 20, we put the"decade"first and the unit number second (twenty﹣one, twenty﹣two), while for the teens, we do itthe other way around (fourteen, seventeen, eighteen).The number system in English is highly irregular.Not so in China, Japan, and Korea.They have a logical counting system.Eleven is ten﹣one.Twelve is ten﹣two.Twenty﹣four is two﹣tens﹣four and so on.That difference means that Asian children learn to count much faster than American children.Four﹣year﹣old Chinese children can count, on average, to 40.American children at that age can count only to 15.By the age of five, in other words, American children are already a year behind their Asian friends in the most fundamental of math skills. The regularity of their number system also means that Asian children can perform basic functions, such as addition, far more easily.Ask an English﹣speaking seven﹣year﹣old to add thirty﹣seven plus twenty﹣two in her head, and she has to change the words to numbers (37+22).Only then can she do the math: 2plus 7is 9and 30and 20is 50, which makes 59.Ask an Asian child to add three﹣tens﹣seven and two﹣tens﹣two, and then the necessary equation(等式) is right there, in the sentence.No number translation is necessary: it's five﹣tens﹣nine.When it comes to math, in other words, Asians have a built﹣in advantage.Foryears, students from China, South Korea, and Japan﹣﹣﹣outperformed their Western classmates at mathematics, and the typical assumption is that it has something to do with akind of Asian talent for math.The differences between the number systems in the East and the West suggest something very different﹣﹣﹣that being good at math may also be rooted in a group's culture.33.What does the passage mainly talk about? ________A.The Asian number﹣naming system helps grasp advanced math skills better.B.Western culture fail to provide their children with adequate number knowledge.C.Children in Western countries have to learn by heart the learning things.D.Asian children's advantage in math may be sourced from their culture.(1)What makes a Chinese easier to remember a list of numbers than an American?________A Their understanding of numbers.B Their mother tongue.C Their math education.D Their different IQ.(2)Asian children can reach answers in basic math functions more quickly because________.A they pronounce the numbers in a shorter period. B they practice math from an early age. C they don't have to translate language into numbers first. D American children can only count to 15at the age of four.第二节根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项.5. Did you grow up in one culture,your parents came from another,and you are nowliving in a totally different country?If so,then you are a third﹣culture kid!The term"third﹣culture kid"(or TCK) was coined in the 1960s by Dr.Ruth.She first came across this phenomenon when she researched North American children living in India.Caught between two cultures,they form their very own.(1)_______ About 90 percent of them have a university degree,while 40percent pursue a postgraduate or doctor degree.They usually benefit from their intercultural experience,which helps them togrow into successful academics and professionals.(2)_______ In fact,many hardships may arise from this phenomenon.A third﹣culturekid may not be able to adapt themselves completely to their new surroundings as expected.Instead,they may always remain an outsider in different host cultures.Max,for example,experienced this fundamental feeling of strangeness throughout his life as a third﹣culture kid.(3)_______While this can be a way to create a network of friends all around the world,it can be difficult for a third﹣culture kid like Max to maintain close friendships and relationships.For a third﹣culture kid,it is often easier to move to a new foreign country than to return to their"home"country.After living in Australia and South Korea for many years,Louis finally returned to Turkey as a teenager.But she felt out of place when she returned to the country where she was born.(4)_______She did not share the same values as her friends'even years after going back home.While a third﹣culture kid must let go of his/her identity as foreigner when he/she returns,the home country can prove to be more foreign than anything he/she came across before.The peer group they face does not match the idealized image children haveof"home".(5)_______As a part of the growing"culture",third﹣culture kids may find it a great challenge for them to feel at home in many places.A.Yet being a third﹣culture kid is not always easy.B.In general,they often reach excellent academic results.C.This often makes it hard for them to form their own identity.D.However,their parents can help them see the opportunities of a mobile lifestyle.E.Their experience abroad helps them to gain a better understanding of cultural differences.F.Unlike other teens of her age,she didn't know anything about current TV shows or fashion trends.G.Additionally,making new friends and saying goodbye to old ones will at some point become routine for a third﹣culture kid.第三部分:英语知识运用第一节:完形填空(满分30分)阅读下面短文,掌握其大意,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中,选出最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑.6.

Most Popular Instagram Photos.BJessica Westervelt,a Spanish teacher at Bethlehem High School in New Yor,created an activitycalled “House Hunters”,which was inspired by the popular television show “House Hunters International”,for her Spanish class about four years ago.Similar to the show,students wor in groups,pretending to be real house agents,and loo for three houses in Spanish-speaing countries.She uses the activity to teach vocabulary related to the home,chores,travel and vacation.She created the eercise because she wanted to incorporate her students’interests into the curriculum.At the time,a group of her students were big fans of the show.The students loo for a house for Westervelt to buy to live in,or rent for vacation.She tells them what she is looing for in a home and gives them a budget.Students wor in groups of three,and each student is responsible for finding one house in a Spanish-speaing country that fits the requirements.The groups usually mae a brochure describing the houses they find.Each group presents their findings to the class,while the other students tae notes.The entire activity is done in Spanish,so students get to practice their writing,listening and conversation sills.They also get some cultural education when researching homes in Spanish-speaing countries.Westervelt says that students planning to tae the class loo forward to her project.Westervelt says,“I thin any time that you can find a way to lin into something that they are interested in outside of school,it maes it more realistic for them and it maes that activity much more enjoyable for them.”25.How did Westervelt come up with the idea of the activity?A.She got it from a TV program.B.She was inspired by her students.C.She learned it from a house agent.D.She was taught that in high school.26.Which of the following can replace the underlined word “incorporate”in Paragraph 2?A.changeB.absorbC.forceD.persuade27.What are the students supposed to do with the

last paragraph mean?A.Most school activities are not enjoyable.B.Students should be realistic about study.C.Out-of-school activities are very important.D.Learning should be combined with interest.CA new study suggests that washing dishes by hand is healthier than using a dishwasher.Nobody lies doing the dishes,but it turns out that doing this tas might pay off in an unepected way.According to a new study published in the Journal of Pediatrics,washing dishes by hand instead of using a dishwasher might prevent the development of allergies(过敏).Researchers in Sweden surveyed the parents of 1,029 children aged 7 and 8.They discovered that children whose families hand-washed the dishes instead of using a machine were less liely to have allergies.Earlier research has shown that dishes washed by machine are cleaner than those washed by hand.So why would ids who eat off of slightly dirtier plates be better off when it comes to preventing allergies?One eplanation is based on a theory nown as the “hygiene hypothesis”,which says the reason ids develop allergies is that their surroundings are actually too clean.Your immune system eeps you healthy by fighting germs(细菌)lie bacteria and viruses.But when you have allergies,it overreacts and tries to fight ordinary things lie pollen(花粉)or certain foods.Being eposed to germs,especially early in life,is good training for the immune system,says the lead author of the study,Dr.Bill Hesselmar of Queen Silvia Hospital in Sweden.“You stimulate the immune system in various ways and it becomes tolerant.”This study shows that while using the dishwasher might be easier,the old-fashioned method of cleaning up could be better for your health.29.What is the benefit of washing dishes by hand?A.It can improve our immune system.B.It is easier than washing by machine.C.It costs less time than washing by machine.D.It might reduce the chance of developing allergies.30.What can we learn from Paragraph 4?A.Our health depends much on our immune system.B.Children in clean environment must have allergies.C.Our immune system can only fight bacteria and viruses.D.Hand-washed dishes are as clean as those washed by machine.31.What do we now about germs from the passage?A.Without germs,people won’t get sic.B.There are no germs in clean environment.C.Eposure to germs can improve our immune system.D.Germs lie bacteria and viruses do harm to our health.DHalf off usually unaffordable products?Only $49.99 for that $100.00 dinner?That’s the magic of Groupon,but for some small business owners the “great business”offered by Groupon can be equal to the iss of death.How could that occur?The math of Groupon seems simple at a glance,but upon further inspection the numbers don’t add up when it comes to smaller businesses.A Groupon typically offers a 50% discount on a product or service;then the remaining profit is divided between Groupon and the small business.While Groupon has already received the profit in advance,the merchant is left waiting for their cut.Those worrying numbers are assuming the price cut is 50/50,which,in some cases,is being generous.When you brea it down to numbers,a Groupon deal seems disastrous,but it’s not only the numbers small business owners have to worry about.The point of Groupon deals is to attract new and hopefully long term customers.Yet,does this actually happen?The majority of consumers buying the Groupon are there for the bargain and don’t return after using their Groupon.CFHS Junior Angelita Pope stated,“I love the deals offered by Groupon!They can really save you so much money.”However,she went on to say that she hadn’t returned once to any of the businesses after using her Groupon.For some small businesses,the pressure lies with the responses of their loyal

AThe exhibitReiman Gardens will feature 10, larger-than-life sea creature sculptures made from trash collected from beaches to graphically illustrate the tragedy of the pollution in our oceans and waterways. Clean water is important to all life, and Reiman Gardens is the first public garden to bring you this message of conservation, protection and recycling through these original, inventive and imaginative garbage-to-art sculptures. The exhibit will run April 29-October 31, 2017.ImpactMarine debris is a planet-wide problem. Approximately 300 million pounds of plastic is produced globally each year and less than 10% of that is recycled. Much of it ends up in the ocean. This exhibit is a wake-up call for all of us, whether we live near the ocean or in the heart of the midwest. We are all effected by water pollution, not only from trash that is thrown into the oceans,but also into our own Iowa rivers and streams.Reiman Gardens will be the first public gardens in the entire country to host this colorful,garbage-to-art exhibit, joining the ranks of the Smithsonian, National Zoo, Denver Zoo, Sea World Parks, the San Francisco Zoo and more!Click here to download an informational PDF.21. According to the passage, which of the follow-ing is true?A. Most of the plastic trash is recycled.B. The exhibition will last for one year.C. Most of the people are affected by water pollution.D. Before Reiman Gardens, some gardens have tried to convey the message to the public.22. What is the purpose of the exhibition of Reiman Gardens?A. To make people realize the seriousness of water pollution.B. To call on more zoos to join in the activity.C. To tell people clean water is important to all life.D.

My dad had as much pride as anybody, I suppose,so he wouldn’t just say that we couldn’t afford one. When I mentioned it, my mother said that we weren’t going to have one this year,that we couldn’t afford one, and even if we could it was stupid to mess up your house with a dead tree. I wanted a tree badly though, and I thought if we had one, everybody would feel better.About three days before Christmas, I was out collecting for my paper route. It was fairly late long after dark it was snowing and very cold.I went to the apartment building to try to catch a customer who hadn’t paid m e for nearly two months she owed me seven dollars. Much to my surprise, she was home. She invited me in and not only did she pay me, she gave me a dollar tip!What happened next was totally unplanned. On the way home, I walked past a Christmas tree lot and the idea hit me. The selection wasn’t very good because it was so close to the holiday, but there was this one real nice tree. It had been a very expensive tree and no one had bought it; now it was so close to Christmas that the man was afraid no one would.He wanted ten dollars for it, but when I—in my gullible innocence—told him I only had eight,he said he might sell it for that. I really didn’t want to spend the whole eight dollars on the tree, but it was so pretty that I finally agreed.I dragged it all the way home—about a mile, I think—and I tried hard not to damage it. The snow helped to cushion it, and it was still in pretty good shape when I got home. My heart was bursting as I announced that I had a surprise.“Wher e did you get that tree?”my mother exclaimed. But it wasn’t the kind of exclamation that indicates pleasure. She said that I was going to end up in the poorhouse because I believe in stupid things like Christmas trees,things that didn’t amount to anything. I just stood there. My mother had never talked to me like that before and I couldn’t believe what I was hearing.24. Why did the writer’s mother refuse a tree?A. Because she couldn’t afford a dead Christmas tree.B. Because she thought it was ridiculous to have a tree.C. Because she was much so proud that she felt better.D. Because she thought it wasn’t very proud of herself.25. How did the writer feel when he got home?A. upset and calm.B. anxious and happy.C. proud and excited.D. sorry and confused.26. What made the shop owner sell the tree?A. His pity on the writer’s situation.B. His desire of offering help.C. His worry of keeping the tree.D. His kindness of helping others.27. What the writer’s mother said in last paragraph means.A. she was pleasedB. she was angryC. she was doubtfulD. she was embarrassedCA sea turtle named Herman, an octopus called Octavia, and a seal named Lidia all spent this summer at the Smithsonian’s National Zoo in Washington,D.C. But unlike the zoo’s other residents, they are not real animals. These creatures are actually huge sculptures -and they’re made entirely out of plastic trash from the ocean.These giant artworks, along with 14 others,are part of a traveling exhibit called“Washed Ashore:Art to Save the Sea.”The Washed Ashore project, led by artist Angela Haseltine Pozzi,works to raise aware原ness about the problem of plastic pollution in Earth’s oceans.More than 315 billion pounds of plastic litter the world’s oceans today, according to the National Zoo. Most of this plastic is garbage from towns and cities, as well as trash that people leave on beaches. Rainwater,winds, and high tides bring the trash into the ocean or into rivers that lead to the ocean. Once it is under the waves, the plastic begins to break up into smaller and smaller pieces. It often collects in spots called garbage patches, which spread over large areas of the ocean.Thousands of marine(having to do with the ocean)animals—including whales, sea turtles,and fish—die each year from eating or getting tangled in plastic bags and other items. Plastic pieces can also injure coral and kill sea grass. Each year, millions more pounds of plastic end up in the ocean. A recent study by the World Economic Forum and Ellen MacArthur Foundation found that if that continues, by 2050 the total weight of plastic in the ocean will be more than the combined weight of all the fish in the ocean.Washed Ashore and other organizations are working to stop that from happening. Since 2010,Washed Ashore volunteers have collected 38,000 pounds of plastic trash from more than 300 miles of beaches. They helped Pozzi create more than 60 sculptures of marine creatures that are harmed by plastic pollution.The artworks on display at the National Zoo include a 20-foot-long coral reef, a 12-foot-long shark, and a 16-foot-long parrot fish. Each one is made from hundreds of pieces of trash like water bottles, flip-flops, and sunglasses. The sculpture of an Atlantic blue marlin, a fish, even includes a toilet seat.“These sculptures are a powerful reminder of our personal role and global responsibility in preserving biodiversity on land and in the sea,”says Dennis Kelly,director of the National Zoo. The“Washed Ashore”exhibit will be at the National Zoo through September 5. It will open next at the Denver Zoo in Colorado on September 24.28. Why is Angela exhibiting her sculptured animals?A. To prove her talent in sculpture.B. To attract most visitors to the zoo.C. To care about the plastic pollution in seas.D. To teach the people the use of plastic.29. What is stressed in paragraph 3 according to the text?A. Why plastic is difficult to break up.B. What problems plastic litter causes.C. Where plastic pieces go at last.D. How garbage patches are formed.30. What are Washed Ashore volunteers doing?A. Collecting pollution trash from the beaches.B. Turning trash from the ocean into art.C. Raising 38,000 pounds for plastic pollution.D. Surveying the data of plastic litter in oceans.31. Which of the following best describe Dennis Kelly’s attitude to Pozzi’s sculptures?A. DoubtfulB. SupportiveC. NegativeD. IndifferentDThe DNA3 in question, the FAAH gene, makes a protein that affects feelings of pleasure and pain. People with a particular version 4 of it tend to be cheerier souls. It seems that happiness is in your genes, according to a research that shows the more people in a country who have a particular gene, the happier the nation will be. The FAAH gene, the DNA in question, makes a protein that affects feelings of pleasure and pain. People with a particular version of it tend to be cheerier souls.However, wealth and health were found to have lit-tle effect on happiness. The researchers said the find could help explain why some of the world’s poorest nations are also the happiest. The researchers believe that the finding can help explain why some of the world’s poorest nations are also the happiest. The team from Bulgaria looked at whether there was a connection between the level of the FAAH gene in a population and the number of people who said they were very happy in the global study of life satisfaction. Sweden, one of the happiest countries in Europe and in the world, has lots of happy DNA. Some 26.3 percent of Swedes have the happiness gene, compared to 23 percent of the British, 21 percent of the French and 20 percent of Germans. The happiness gene is even rarer in southern Europe, where it is found in 18 percent of Greeks and just 12 percent of Italians. In contrast, the people in Iraq and Jordan are among the least likely to rate themselves as very happy and also have the lowest levels of the gene.But the gene and optimism don’t always go hand in hand. For instance, Russians score very low on happiness, despite having the right DNA, the Journal of Happiness Studies reports. Climatic differences are also found to be closely associated with national differences in happiness.Study co-author Michael Minkov said,“We can notice the high occurrence of the gene in hot and tropical environments in South America and Africa, and the lower occurrence of it around the Mediterranean Sea than in Northern Europe.”32. Why are some poorest nations the happiest in the world?A. Because they have great wealth.B. Because they have a lot of special genes.C. Because they are all very healthyD. Because they often fight with each other.33. Which of the following has the most happy DNA?A. ChineseB. SwedesC. The FrenchD. Germans34. What is the main idea of the last paragraph?A. Climatic differences also bring about differences in happiness.B. The gene and happiness never go hand in hand together.C. The water in the sea often makes people happier and happier.D. The tropical environment is able to make people less happy.35. The best title for the text is.A. Researches on Genetic ScienceB. The Happiest CountriesC. Reasons for National DifferencesD. Factors to Affect Happiness第二節(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
