One possible version:Dear Eric,I am Li Hua, a Chinese high school student. Learning that you are looking for an English learner whose native language is Chinese, I am writing to express my wish to become your language (exchange) partner/ language buddy.Firstly, having studied in London for a year/ having studied English for years, I can understand you better culturally and make sure we communicate smoothly.

Looking forward to your early reply.Yours,Li Hua第二节读后续写(满分25分)One possible versionMy neighbor was the only one taking action. Quickly pulling aside his miracle meal, my neighbor leaped up and guided the elderly man to share the seat. Numb with cold, the old man didn’t expected the invitation, moving clumsily. Hardly had he seated himself, my neighbor tenderly put his down jacket over the older man’s shoulders, slipping his arms into sleeves. Finally, he said “Can you h elp me out?” pointing to themeal and p lacing the steaming cup of soup in the stranger’s hands. Seeing this, my head and heart stopped battling and I had my decision.Tears blurred my vision when I went to buy food from the food court. What my neighbour said exactly spoke my mind. With regret, I felt obliged to do the same. Respectfully and cautiously, I approached them with steaming soup and sandwich. People around cast an approving smile in my direction. “Can you help me out?” I asked. “Why not?” he added jokingly, “But only if you go halfway with me on that sandwich, which i s too much for a man my age.” I t wasn’t until that day that I truly learned the meaning of sharing. I left the subway station feeling warmer than I had ever thought possible.录音稿这是高三英语模拟试题听力部分。

The car, named SD-03, manned with a pilot, took off and circled the field for about four minutes.It was the first public demonstration for a flying car in Japanese history.“We are extremely excited to have achieved Japan’s first-ever manned flight of a flying car in the two years since we founded SkyDrive... with the goal of commercializing such aircraft,” CEO Tomohiro Fukuzawa said.“We want to realiz e a society where flying cars are an accessible and convenient means of transportation in the skies and people are able to experience a safe, secure, and comfortable new way of life.”The SD-03 is the world’s smallest electric vertical take-off and landing vehicle and takes up the space of about two parked cars, according to the company. It has eight motors to ensure “safety in emergency situations”.“In designing an unexplored, new type of transportation known as the flying car, we chose the keyword ‘progressive’ for inspiration,” Design Director Takumi Yamamot said.“We wanted this vehicle to be futuristic, charismatic and desirable for all future customers, while fully including the high technology of SkyDrive.”The company hopes to make the flying car part of normal life and not just a product. More test flights will occur in the future under different conditions to make sure the safety and technology of the vehicle meet industry standards.The success of this flight means that it is likely that the car will be tested outside of the Toyota Test field by the end of the year.The company will continue to develop technologies to safely and securely launch the flying car in 2023. However, no price has been announced so far.24.What’s the feature of SD-03?A. Green and energy-saving.B.Secure and multi-function.C.High-tech and user-friendly.D.Expensive and unmanned.25.What do Takumi Yamamot’s words imply?A.They are the pioneer of flying cars.B.Flying cars will soon be commercialized.C.Flying cars will set a new trend in society.D.They target flying cars on high-end consumers.26.What can we learn from the last two paragraphs?A.Flying cars fail to reach industry standards.B.Flying cars will be sold at affordable prices.C.The safety of flying cars needs strengthening.D.Tests arenow limited tothe Toyota Test Field.27.What is the main idea of the text?A.Flying cars will be on the market by 2023.B.Flying cars are no longer just a flight of fancy.C.SkyDrive’s SD-03 is the flying car of tomorrow.D.SkyDrive demonstrates its first piloted flying car.CVocational education is having a moment in the United States, as more job training programs are carried out in schools. But these efforts require a change in thinking about what the process looks like, one that isn’t built only on pushing students to either a college-bound or a vocation-bound track, a long-standing criticism of vocational education efforts in the U.S. One place to look for inspiration may be Finland. The country’s vocational education and training(VET) opens not only to students after they complete nine years ofschool, but also to adults looking for a career change or improvement in vocational skills.Finnish students complete nine years of comprehensive education, after which students have an option: They can continue on an academic track and prepare for university, or they can choose to begin vocational training. Either way, the process takes three years, and both sets of students can, following the completion of their tracks, apply for university or enter the workforce. Students can even do both at the same time if they want to.One reason for VET’s success in Finland is the wide range of occupations for which training is offered. For most Americans, the idea of vocational education calls to mind welding(焊接) or auto repair. Such training is offered in Finland, of course, but other fields, like education, tourism, cooking, social services and gardening, are also included in Finnish vocational education. VET courses are even available for home economics so people can learn to manage their households.VET isn’t just for teenagers and young adults deciding what they want to do with their lives. VET programs are available to older adults as well. These adults may want to improve their skills in their current occupations, or they may be looking to change their careers entirely, from a driver to a baker. VET programs can help them achieve those goals. These courses may cost money for adults, between 50 and 60 euros, but many are free of charge.A survey of VET students found high satisfaction with the process. 64 percent of those who responded to the survey said they felt the vocational skills they learned as a result of their training were enough for work, and another 70 percent felt confident they could find work after graduation as a result of the skills they learned.28.In the author’s opinion, vocational education in the U.S. ______.A.follows in Finland’s footstepsB.fails to cater to the public’s needsC.greatly decreases students’ inte rest in learningD.serves as an addition to the college-bound track29.How is Finland’s VET special?A.It is a major part of comprehensive education.B.It opens up opportunities to people of all ages.C.It is totally independent of a college education.D.It is flexible and fully respects students’ choices.30.Which of the following can explain VET’s success in Finland?A.VET guarantees trainees a good job.B.VET is free of charge for all trainees.C.VET is totally supported by the government.D.VET offers training in almost all walks of life.31.What do most students surveyed think of Finland’s VET?A.Practical.B.Academic.C.Challenging.D.Thorough.DConcerned about pollution and congestion (拥塞), a growing number of local governments are trying to reduce the number of drivers in Europe’s big cities. Some, like London and Stockholm, have introduced congestion charges to discourage driving during peak hours. Paris has tried banning cars from driving on certain days, depending on whether they have even or odd number plates. Perhaps the most ambitious plan to curb cars comes from Oslo, Norway’s capital.The change that is most easily to be noticed in Oslo is somewhat different from that in other European cities. Late last year, the government removed some 700 parking spaces from the city centre, replacing them with benches, bicycles and more pavements. The mere 50 or so spots that remain are largely reserved for handicapped residents and local businesses that rely on deliveries. Another big change has come in the form of zoning reform. Some roads in the city centre have been closed off to private cars; others have been changed so that traffic can only flow in one direction.Enforcement has been severe, though. The city government has placed signs informing drivers of the new rules, but not everyone has paid them much attention. In addition, Norway’s co nservatives believe strongly in the idea of car ownership, and shopkeepers worry that fewer cars might mean fewer customers. It is still too early to assess how effective the new measures have been. Still, early data show that pedestrian traffic in the city centre was up by 10% in the fourth quarter of 2018 over a year earlier, which suggests the reforms are working as intended.Hanna Marcussen, vice-mayor for urban development and a member of the Green Party, notes that Oslo’s most successful shops are on the high street, where most customers are pedestrians anyway. The government is busy compiling tax records to measure the economic impact of its reforms. Research on Stockholm’s congestion-pricing scheme finds that the benefits from factors such as shorter travel times and safer roads far outweigh the fees paid by drivers.The fact that the city’s efforts to control traffic have been controversial has forced the government to take an incremental (递增的) approach, constantly negotiating with suspicious business owners. MsMarcussen compares the government’s traffic reforms to Norway’s public-smoking ban, which was passed in 2004. She said many people complained before the law was passed, but few today would demand loudly to let people smoke in pubs again.32.Which of the following is closest in meaning to the underlined word “curb” in paragraph 1?A. Support.B. Control.C. Replace.D. Abandon.33.What is the most visible change in Oslo?A. The removal of public parking.B. Creating more one-way traffic.C. The limitation on cars in rush hours.D. Placing strict restrictions on private cars.34.What message is conveyed in the third paragraph?A. Cars are hardly banned.B. Anti-car policies are in vain.C. The car industry is declining.D. The reforms haven’t come easily.35.What does Ms. Marcussen mean in the end?A. New things need to be tested repeatedly.B. Timing is important to the success of reforms.C. More efforts are to be put in the traffic reforms.D. Most people will finally support the traffic reforms.第二节(共5 小题;每小题 2.5分,满分12.5分)阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

ABermuda, the island known for its pink-sand beaches, blue waters, and year-round warm weather, has been announced the Official Sponsor of the U.S. Open. It's a fitting collaboration(协作), given the island's reputation as a destination for travelers in search of perfect adventures—just a ninety-minute flight from New York City. Lesser known, however, is that the long history of American tennis was introduced by this attractive Atlantic island.Nearly a hundred and fifty years ago, the New York celebrity Mary Ewing Outerbridge sailed for days to vacation on this quiet island. She watched, fascinated, as some British soldiers stationed there played tennis, although a version different from one we know today. The courts in Bermuda were shaped like hourglasses, the net was also higher, and a number of the rules were different.Mary became fascinated watching the ball flying back and forth, and ended up purchasing a kit containing all the materials needed to bring the sport home to Staten Island. Using a hand-drawn diagram, she laid out a court at her brother's cricket club, where the sport caught on among members. From there, the game's popularity quickly grew, leading to standardized rules and regulations—and then, in 1880, to the first U.S. tennis championship.In only a few years, Mary's unexpected souvenir from her Bermuda trip helped set a national tradition: today, nearly eighteen million people in the US play the sport, from the public-tennis-court games in many cities to the annual U.S. Open, in NYC. Mary's role in bringing tennis from Bermuda to America has earned her a place in the International Tennis Hall of Fame.It only serves to enhance the sport's appeal to learn that every swing of the racket in the US can be traced back to Bermuda, where island adventures still wait for all travelers—tennis lovers included. You're welcome!()21. What can we learn about Bermuda?A. It is distant from New York City.B. It is friendly to adventure seekers.C. It is unfit to sponsor the U.S. Open.D. It is better known for being the origin of tennis.()22. Which of the following is Mary's contribution to American tennis?A. She held the first U.S. tennis championship.B. She made the game become world famous.C. She designed the first tennis court in the US.D. She set standard rules and regulations of the game.()23. What is the real purpose of this passage?A. To introduce the founder of American tennis.B. To introduce the history of American tennis.C. To attract more people to enjoy the sport.D. To attract more people to tour Bermuda.BI took a job at a vet (兽医) clinic almost five decades ago. As an enthusiastic animal lover, I accepted the position on the condition that I wouldn't have to assist with any woundedanimals. I couldn't bear to see any creature in pain.At the end of my first week, we were closing the office for the day when a young man ran up to us holding a severely injured Doberman pinscher puppy(杜宾幼犬) in his arms and begging us to save his life. The four-month-old pup had been hit by a car.The doctor and I ran back into the operating room. The only place the skin was still attached to this poor little animal's body was around one shoulder. The vet worked tirelessly for what seemed like hours, sewing him back together again. That was the easy part. The puppy had broken multiple bones, including his spine(脊椎) . If he survived the next few days, we were quite sure he would never walk again.That day forever changed my life. I became the vet's assistant in all things medical. One of my first jobs was to give that Doberman puppy daily physical therapy. I remember moving his tiny legs to try to keep his muscles from weakening.Weeks went by until one day, I felt this little fighter push back ever so slightly. And he continued to push back till he could finally use his legs.Fast-forward about a year. I walked into the clinic's crowded waiting room and called the name of the next client. Suddenly, a huge Doberman who had been standing quietly with his owner on the opposite side of the room broke loose and dashed toward me. I found myself pinned against the wall with this magnificent dog standing on his hind legs, his front paws on my shoulders, washing my face with abundant and joyful kisses!I still tear up in amazement at the display of love and gratitude the dog had for me that day all those years ago.()24. Which was the possible position the author took originally at the clinic?A. A medical assistant.B. A professional vet.C. An enthusiastic volunteer.D. A regular receptionist.()25. How did the author help the dog?A. She sewed his wounds.B. She fixed his spine.C. She helped him to recover.D. She taught him to walk.()26. What can we infer about the dog?A. He struggled to be on his feet.B. He liked to lick people's faces.C. He got well immediately.D. He got fierce afterwards.()27. What is the best title of this passage?A. A loving vetB. A lucky dogC. A grateful patientD. A life-changing storyCThe driver who cuts you off in traffic. The neighbors who don't pick up after their dog. Situations such as these get our hearts racing and send our stress levels skyrocketing. Anger isn't a pleasant feeling. Some of us __bottle__up__the emotion, while others explode in a wild rage(狂怒). Both habits do considerable harm to our bodies, our minds, and our relationships.“Anger may feel uncomfortable and a lot of pe ople think they have to get rid of their anger,” says Patrick Keelan, a registered psychologist in Calgary, Alberta. “But anger is an emotion built into us to signal that something needs to beaddressed. When we take notice of that signal and actually wrestle with the problem instead of turning a blind eye to it, we're usually much better for it.”Unfortunately, many of us have been conditioned to keep our emotions hidden. Increasingly, research is suggesting that this can have long-term effects on our health. Investigators at the University of Rochester noticed that people who contain their emotions tend to live shorter lives. When we're angry, stress hormones are released, which can make us more likely to develop a wide range of diseases, including diabetes, depression, immune-related conditions.Is it better, then, to scream and howl whenever something makes you mad? That's probably the reason why“rage rooms” have popped up in many American cities, where folks are invited to let steam off by violently smashing(打碎) stuff in a“safe” environment. However, the research indicates that when people display anger aggressively, it can actually increase the intensity of the anger—and increase the likelihood of aggressive actions in the future. It doesn't take much imagination to predict how such behavior can affect your relationship with your spouse, your kids, or your colleagues. It also hurts your health. A large 2016 study at McMaster University found that people are more than twice as likely to have a heart attack after an angry explosion.If we shouldn't bottle up our angry feelings but aggressive behavior isn't healthy either, how should we handle things that tick us off? It's the extreme highs and lows that cause the damage. If you're able to apply techniques that smooth out some of those peaks and valleys, you can have a gentler ride.()28. What does the underlined phrase “bottle up” inParagraph 1 mean?A. Build up.B. Hold back.C. Let off.D. Bring out.()29. What does Patrick Keelan think of anger?A. Uncomfortable and avoidable.B. Terrible and threatening.C. Confusing and complex.D. Normal and natural.()30. What is the consequence of displaying anger aggressively?A. It leads to people's depression.B. It warns people against violence.C. It adds to people's anger.D. It helps people to calm down.()31. What will be talked about if the passage is continued?A. Possible causes of anger.B. Tips on handling anger.C. Possible harm of anger.D. Tips on avoiding anger.DAlexa is Amazon's cloud-based voice service available on hundreds of millions of devices from Amazon and third-party device manufacturers. With Alexa, you can build natural voice experiences that offer customers a way to interact with the technology they use every day.Alexa is always eavesdropping(窃听). (So are Siri, Google Assistant, and any other virtual assistant you invite into your home.) This is and isn't as horrible as it sounds. Although it's truethat the device can hear everything you say within range of its microphones, it is listening for its wake word before it starts recording. Once it hears that—“Alexa” is the default(默认), but there are other options—everything in the following few seconds is considered to be a command or a request and is sent to (and stored on) servers in the cloud, where the correct response is triggered. Think of a smart speaker like a dog: It's always listening, but it understands only “cookie”“walk” or “Buddy”. Everything else goes right over its head.Every time Alexa hears a command, Amazon—its parent company—has just learned something about you. Maybe the company learned only that you like to listen to the Police, or that you like funny jokes, or that you turn your lights off at 11 p.m. every night. If y ou were to say “Alexa, where should I bury the body?” you're not going to have the police showing up at your door. (I know because I've tried it.)Alexa does make mistakes. Sometimes this can be funny, such as when Alexa hears its wake word in a TV show. Other times it's more serious, including an instance in 2018 when Alexa mistakenly sent an entire private conversation to a random person's Echo device. Occasionally there are even humans listening to your request for weather reports or trying to figure out what you meant when you added “mangosteens” to yo ur shopping list. Sound disturbing? You likely already agreed to it in the app's terms of use when you installed the device.What bits of privacy are you willing to sacrifice for the convenience provided by a smart speaker? If you trust that Amazon's intentions are no more immoral than getting a better idea of what you want to buy on Prime Day, then you have your answer. If you worry about your private information falling intothe hands of the wrong people,then you have another answer.()32. Why does the author compare smart speakers to dogs?A. To show smart speakers are life companions like dogs.B. To show smart speakers are sensitive to users' commands.C. To show smart speakers are woken by specific words.D. To show wake words for smart speakers are different.()33. What is the third paragraph mainly about?A. The tech company knows less than users imagine.B. The tech company is spying on users' everyday life.C. The tech company turns a blind eye to some crimes.D. The tech company is interested in users' music taste.()34. Which of the following best describes Alexa?A. All-round.B. Imperfect.C. Funny.D. Immoral.()35. What does the author think of using smart speakers?A. It is a matter of opinion.B. Privacy is a high price to pay.C. It is part and parcel of life.D. Convenience always comes first.第一节21~25BCDDC26~30ACBDC31~35BCABA江苏省南通市2020~2021学年度第一学期高三期中学情检测试卷英语第一节(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, 并在答题纸上将该项涂黑。

In order to keep a slim figure, many teenagers skip meals on a regular basis. I feel deeply worried about this phenomenon.In my opinion, skipping meals is harmful to our physical and mental health.

选项中有两项为多余选项。

No one will be surprised to hear that the arts are under fire in this day and age. We view the arts as something of a hobby, something that's fun but certainly can't pay the rent. Do we really need art in our lives?It seems as though the loss of art in daily life is a sad fact of life, but it doesn't have to be. __36__ For example, art therapy has helped people with a range of illnesses, both mental and physical, cope with their symptoms. Art is found almost anywhere you look in your home. Practical items, such as bedspreads, furniture or clothing, are all art forms in themselves and arouse emotions in the people interacting with them.__37__ History tells us what happened and when it happened, but it can't tell us how the population at large felt about it, which is where art steps in. We know a lot about how people in the past lived and worked, because their art has given us such a deep insight into their daily lives.Most of all, we need art in our lives as it gives us a form of self-expression. __38__ You may not think you talk about your feelings, but you may express them in other ways. Some like to cook or bake, some like to work on machinery, and others may like to paint or draw. __39__So, do we need art in our lives? Many people would say no, but the art they're thinking of is the art you see in galleries. __40__ It helps those in need, gives people in the future an idea of what life was like, and is a vital form of self-expression.A. Art also gives us insight into the world.B. Art doesn't have to be something that everyone understands.C. There are actually a lot of practical uses for art for many people.D. Art is much more accessible and is truly needed in everyday life.E. Being able to talk about our feelings is essential to staying healthy.F. We use art to express ourselves, showcase talent, and grow as people.G. Whatever you like to do in your spare time, you're probably creating art.第二节36~40CAEGD江苏省南通市2020~2021学年度第一学期高三期中学情检测试卷英语第二节(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, 并在答题纸上将该项涂黑。

Apart from all our personal memories about our own life, we can recall between 20,000 and100,000 words in our language as well as possibly thousands more ina foreign language. We have all sorts of information about different subjects such as history, science, and geography, and we have complex skills such as driving a car or playing a musical instrument. All these things and countless others depend on our memory.How well you remember things depends on many different factors. Firstly, some people naturally have better memories than others, injust the same way as some people are taller than others, or have different color eyes. Some top chess players, for example, can remember every move of every game that they have ever seen or played.Secondly, research shows that different things are stored in different parts of the brain. Ideas, words, and numbers are storedin the left-hand side, while the right-hand side remembers images, sounds, and smells. In most people one side of the brain is more developed than the other, and this may explain why some people can remember people's faces easily, but can't remember their names.Thirdly, we all remember exciting, frightening, or dramaticevents more easily. This is because these experiences produce chemicals such as adrenaline, which boost your memory. They say that anyone who is old enough to remember knows exactly where they wereon Tuesday, September 11, 2021, when radio and TV programs aroundthe world were interrupted with the shocking news that the twintowers of the World Trade Center in New York were hit.Fourthly, the context in which you learn something can affecthow well you remember it. Tests on divers, for example, showed that when they learned things underwater, they could also remember those things best when they were underwater.Lastly, the more often you recall a memory, the more likely you are to remember it. If you don't use it, you'll lose it. A telephonenumber that you dial frequently will stay in your memory easily, but you will probably have to write down one that you use only now and again.61.What can be inferred from the passage?A.A person with poor memory lives forever in the present.B.We were either born with a good memory or not.C.Human beings have the potential to learn a foreign language.D.IIIiterateI〔文盲(wénmáng)〕people usually have a poor memory. 62.Which of the following is stated to be TRUE?A.A revisit to the place where you have learned somethingcontributes to memory.B.Failing to understand a film indicates the beginning of the loss of memory.C.Top chess players tend to have better memories than the rest of us.D.People who are good at remembering images are poor atremembering names.63.Why can we remember exciting, dramatic, or frightening events better?A.Because these events involve danger.B.Because these events rarely happen to us and are likely tostay in our memory longer.C.Because these events produce chemicals that help us remember better.D.Because these events produce chemicals that simulate ourimagination.64.What does the author mean when he mention “context〞 in the first line of Paragraph 5?A.The environment where someone gets to know something.B.Discourse that surrounds a language unit and helps todetermine its interpretation.C.The surroundings of a building.D.The atmosphere of a class.65.What does the passage mainly tell us?A.Learning a foreign language depends on a good memory.B.None of us can live without memory.C.Our memories are truly amazing.D.How well we remember things is affected by various factors.CAlmost all type of jobs can be done at home from freelance〔自由职业的〕writing, transcription〔誊写(téngxiě)〕to customer service and sales. Because of the growth and the lowering costs of communication devices and media, you no longer need to be strapped 〔绑在〕to the office desk 8 hours a day, 5 days a week to do aphenomenal〔出色的〕job and when done correctly the set-up is mutually beneficial for both the worker and his employer or contractor.For the employer, it means lower head costs and added bonus of not having to deal with the employee personally every day. For the employee, it means keeping a personalized, flexible time and having more time to do other things. This means that depending on the workload, a freelancer may opt to work at a time that is most convenient for him. It means being able to structure on e’s worklife to maintain the best work-life-home-life balance possible. Some freelance jobs also allow the worker to work anywhere in the world he chooses. It also means not having to deal with office politics and emotionally draining colleagues and bosses.Of course there are also downsides to working at home. First there are a lot of distractions when working at home. Sometimes,it’s easy to prioritize〔优先考虑〕other things aside from workthat may leave you becoming a lot less productive. It is best to set up a ome office and maintain a regular time for work so people will learn not to disturb you. You may also choose to get a dedicated phone line and Internet for you work so that you can focus on work and not have to entertain personal phone calls while working. Self-employment also requires a lot of self-discipline since you have tomaintain your own work schedule and work at your own pace without anyone pushing you.66.If you want to stay away from the office, you can .A.try your best to be an employerB.join in the media industriesC.realize it through all kinds of jobsD.find some help through the communication devices67.The word “bonus〞 (Line1, Para 2) most probably means .A.a sum of money B.a sun of problemsC.something beneficial D.something harmful68.Which of the following is TRUE of the employees?A.They have to work day by day.B.They have to stay at home all the time.C.They have no time to handle their home life.D.They have no need to concern the office routines.69.What is the disadvantage of working at home?A.You have no time to deal with personal phones.B.You have to pay for the Internet by yourself.C.You may be easily influenced by other things.D.You have no personal office and fixed work time.70.This text is mainly talking about .A.communication devices and media developmentB.working away from the officeC.how to save investment on workD.the variety of working stylesPart IV Writing (45 marks)Section A (10 marks)Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in the numbered blanks by using the information from the passage.Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer.Couch potatoes define people who live in the world of a television, a comfortable couch and a bag of chips or junk food. They sit around in front of the television, sleep and chew junk food, while absorbing anything on TV. They have a boring lifestyle and rarely move out of the couch.Being a couch potato will not make your body a fat house, but it will also affect your mental health. For example, it can make you suffer from loss of interest, memory loss and low confidence. Namely, being a couch potato is unhealthy. So we should try to get out of it and move on to a healthy lifestyle.An important way to stop being a couch potato is exercising.Even though you may not find time, some changes in your schedulewill help. Hit the gym regularly and find a fit person to inspireyou. Make sure you walk a lot whenever possible. Exercise will fill you with enthusiasm for doing just more than being a couch potato.Spending time with the family is another effective way to stop being a couch potato. When back from school, you can help yourfamily with lunch or dinner. Have food together at the dinning table and don’t eat all by yourself in front of the TV set. Playing games with the family is also a good idea.In addition, limiting the entertainment is also a practical solution for couch potatoes. Restrict your timing of television to one or two hours every week or even less. Chose the shows you like best and make sure your only watch then. You can also avoid the sue of your remote control. Simply get up from the couch every time you want to change the channel.This will also keep you fit and you’ll end up watching less TV.Section B (10 marks)Directions: Read the following passage. Answer the questions according to the information given in the passage.A little old couple walked slowly into McDonald’s on one cold winter evening. It seemed that they didn’t come to the right place with the young families and young couples eating that night.The little old man walked right up to the cash register,I placed his order with no hesitation and then paid for their meal. The couple took a table near the back wall and started taking food off the tray. There was one hamburger,one order of French fries and one drink. The little old man unwrapped the plain hamburger andcarefully cut it in half. He placed one half in front of his wife. Then he carefully counted out the French fries,divided them in two piles and neatly placed one pile in front of his wife. He took a sip at the drink and then set the cup down between them.As the man began to eat his few bites of hamburger,the crowd began to get restless. You could tell what they were thinking,“That poor old couple. All they can afford is one meal for the two of them.〞As the man began to eat his French fries,one young man stood and came over to the old couple’s table. He politely offered to buy another meal for the old couple to eat. The old man replied that they were just fine. They were used to sharing everything.As the little old man finished eating and was wiping his face neatly with a napkin,the young man could stand it no longer. Again he came over to their table and offered to buy some food.After being politely refused again,he finally asked a question of the little old lady,“Ma’am,why aren’t you eating?You said that you share everything. What is it that you are waiting for?She answered,“The teeth.〞81.Who were eating in McDonald except the old couple that night? (No more than 6 words)82. What did the old man order?

Only pre-registered prospective students may attend and event details will be sent to the email address used to register.Note that the School of Art will NOT conduct individual interviews or provide portfolio feedback at Open House.Attendees should not bring examples of their work to this event.Capacity is limited and only prospective applicants should register to attend as we will likely not have room for guests.Pre-registered attendees will receive confirmation email communications with event details and travel information to New Haven.Open House will be live-streamed and may be attended virtually on November14th.OPEN STUDIOSDuring the Spring semester,the Yale School of Art hosts its annual graduate open studios featuring work from the departments of Graphic Design,Painting and Printmaking,Photography, and Sculpture.Studios are open to the public and located across four buildings on Yale’s campus in downtown New Haven.Following Yale University guidance in response to the spread of COVID-19,the Yale School of Art is suspending all public events and programming through to at least April5,2020.2020 Open Studios,originally scheduled for April4–5,has been cancelled.21.Who are most likely to have access to ADMISSION OPEN HOUSE?A.Those who have a talent for art.B.Those who have registered in advance.C.Those who have been admitted to Yale University.D.Those who intend to go to The Yale School of Art.22.What can attendees do during ADMISSION OPEN HOUSE?A.Receive travel information to New Haven.B.Have a chance to visit the school facilities.C.Interview students,faculty,and admission staff.D.Get an insight into the study of graduate students.23.What can be learned from OPEN STUDIOS?A.It is hosted in April every year throughout Yale.B.2020Open Studios has been put off until April5.C.The school displays work from various departments.D.It is the only chance to visit buildings of the school.BImagine that you’ve got a robot that looks like a human,talks like a human,and even interacts like a human.Although you know it’s just a machine,you can relate to it.But would you consider it as a friend?This is just one of the questions that you may find difficult to answer.Sooner or later artificial intelligence(AI)will bring many moral challenges.But AI is here to stay and will have a big impact on our future.As Li Fei-Fei,professor of computer science at Stanford University put it,“If our era is the next industrial revolution,as many claim,AI is surely one of its major driving forces.”Merriam-Webster defines AI as“the capability of a machine to copy intelligent human behavior”.But what makes us want to create“thinking machines”?After all,thinking and consciousness are inimitable things of human beings–at least at present.They separate us from all other creatures on Earth.For one thing,humans constantly desire to develop new technology just because they can. The desire to create AI is the ultimate expression of this:We want to test the limit of human intelligence by building a brand new intelligence.For another,AI has all sorts of practical benefits to offer us.It would free us from repetitive work and make our lives easier.Imagine getting to your destination with an AI-guided self-driving car.Imagine having an AI tutor that could help you with your homework.However,as AI becomes more important in life the worries will begin.Will AI effectively start to take over us?Today,with online shopping sites and social networking platforms,AI already influences many of our choices.Algorithms(算法)determine the content we see on the Internet,and make recommendations about everything from what we watch on TV to where we travel.Some fear that machines will become better at making decisions than humans are,and that therefore we will lose our control of AI.But it’s not all doom and gloom(前景暗淡).Max Tegmark,author of Life3.0:Being Human in the Age of Artificial Intelligence,believes that with careful planning,AI can become a powerful tool.“I’m optimistic that we can create an inspiring future with AI if we win the race between the growing power of AI and the growing wisdom with which we manage it,”he told Motherboard.But like it or not,AI is shaping the society and will dramatically change the way we live.24.Which is closest in meaning to the underlined word“inimitable”in Paragraph3?A.Unique.B.Precise.mon.D.Essential.25.What does Paragraph4mainly focus on?A.The influence of AI on our future.B.The reasons for man to develop AI.C.Different voices on developing AI.D.Worries arising from the use of AI.26.What is the author’s attitude towards AI’s impact on humans?A.Concerned.B.Doubtful.C.Objective.D.Subjective.27.What can be concluded from Max Tegmark’words?A.AI won’t pose a threat to human beings.B.AI will surely bring us a promising future.C.Humans are wise enough to take control of AI.D.Humans must keep up with the growing power of AI.CScientists say they have discovered an earthquake-like event that can happen during a hurricane or other powerful ocean storms.They are calling it a“stormquake”.Researchers came up with this name after studying events connected with or caused by earthquakes on the sea floor during such storms.They found that the shaking can feel as strong as a magnitude3.5earthquake.Intense energy from hurricanes and other severe storms can create very large waves in the ocean.These waves then“interact”in some places with solid earth under the sea to cause“intense seismic(地震的)source activity,”said the leader researcher Fan,a seismologist and professor at Florida State University.“We can have seismic sources in the ocean just like earthquakes within the hard outer layer of the Earth,”he added.“The exciting part is seismic sources caused by hurricanes can last for hours or even days.”The researchers found evidence of more than10,000stormquakes in coastal areas of the United States and Canada.Stormquakes were found to have happened around continental shelves or sea floors containing flat land and at lower depths,the research showed.Even with evidence of so many stromquakes happening,it was not known until recently that such events even existed. This is mainly because scientists studying earthquakes have generally considered ocean-caused seismic waves as“background noise”.The research found that major U.S.hurricanes had produced a lot of stormquakes.One example was Hurricane Bill in2009in the Atlantic Ocean,which caused about300stormquakes as it moved north,past New Jersey.Other examples of stormquakes were Hurricane Ike in2008 and Hurricane Irene in2011.But the study found no evidence of stormquakes off the coast of Mexico.Also,no such activity was recorded in areas along the U.S.East Coast,starting in New Jersey,and continuing all the way down to Georgia.The team noted that even Hurricane Sandy, one of the most costly storms in U.S.history,did not cause a single stormquake.Fan says thissuggests that stormquakes are strongly influenced by the physical shape of the seafloor’s surface and seafloor conditions.Fan added that there are still“lots of unknowns”about stormquakes.But he said discovering them“suggests we are reaching a new level of understanding of seismic waves”.He hopes the discovery will lead to improved study methods for hurricanes,which in the past have mainly been observed from satellites in the sky.“Now we are able to understand the phenomenon—or at least track part of its passage—through the solid earth as well,”he said.28.What is the distinctive feature of a stormquake?A.Being seasonal.B.Being destructive.C.Being long-lasting.D.Being interactive.29.Why were stormquakes unknown to science previously?A.Because they were extremely rare on the Earth.B.Because they were once neglected by scientists.C.Because they generally happen in deep sea floors.D.Because they are quite similar to common earthquakes.30.What message is conveyed in Paragraph4?A.All hurricanes don’t bring about stormquakes.B.Stormquakes happen more along the East Coast.C.Stronger hurricanes tend to produce stormquakes.D.The sea floor’s condition changes in stormquakes.31.What is the significance of the discovery?A.Offering an alternative angle to research hurricanes.B.Helping to predict an earthquake more accurately.C.Suggesting the richness of the seismic wave field.D.Preventing potential hurricanes and lessening losses.DThe most intuitive(直观的)argument against immigration we come across is that immigrants are causing higher unemployment rate or lower wages for low-skilled workers within the nation, which is probably not true in the US.Statistics show that in the US,wages and unemployment rate are rarely affected for the reason that immigrants move more flexibly for jobs than local workers.Immigration boosts economy by driving up both demand and supply.Official data show that immigrants have a far more diverse composition than the native-born.They have a higher percentage of doctoral degree owners while also a higher percentage of worse-educated.The effect is that companies actually adjust to the change in job market in the long-run and figure out their way to deal with a mix of workers with different skills and levels,which at the end of the day fits them into different jobs.For those who have a bachelor or a doctoral degree,they are the driving engines whose innovation largely boosts the US economy.Immigrants to the United States tend to generate more patentable technologies than natives:though they constitute only18percent of the25and older workforce,immigrants obtain28percent of high-quality patents.Immigrants are also more likely to become Nobel winners in physics,chemistry,and physiology or medicine.These innovations can increase productivity and job supplies in the long run.For those badly-educated,even though they did cause a negative impact to net financial contribution to the US government,the impact is rather small compared to those undereducated native people.It is because as immigrants who come to seek for a change for their life,it is more likely for them to take a job rather than accepting the basic living standard provided by government subsidy(补贴)like those desperate native-born Americans who have lost faith in the so-called“American Dream”.In the long run,it eases the burden of government and brings in more tax income.In this sense,their stable income also brings about more domestic demand in the US.All in all,immigrants are actually beneficial for the US economy,largely owing to the values created by those highly-educated.The expulsions(驱逐)of unauthorized immigrants may bring about negative impact to the economy.32.Why does the author write this passage?A.To appeal to more foreigners to immigrate to America.B.To urge the US to treat unauthorized immigrants equally.C.To confirm what’s long been believed about immigration.D.To argue for the positive economic effects of immigration.33.How are immigrants different from the natives?A.They contribute less to government finances.B.They have less access to government subsidy.C.They’re more confident of the American Dream.D.They’re more likely to go where jobs are available.34.What can we learn from the passage?panies are more willing to employ immigrants.B.Immigrants are more adaptable than native Americans.C.Most Americans with a doctor’s degree are immigrants.D.Immigration creates more job opportunities for America.35.How is the passage mainly developed?A.By listing specific statistics.B.By making a detailed analysis.C.By presenting typical examples.D.By comparing different opinions.第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。
