Yes, of course, said my Aunt Estelle, I really shouldn’t have been 1because she was like that, unexpected and golden.When I was younger, I knew that I could always go to my Aunt Estelle for comfort, advice and 2She was my best friend and my guardian angel. I could always be 3with her and tell her anything that was on my mind. She also knew when I was trying to 4something. Aunt Estelle gave me advice when it was sought and guided me5many difficulties.Last December, I was faced with one of the most difficult 6I ever had to make in my life. She was dying of cancer and I was 7to go to Israel for two weeks for a research project. 8I sought Aunt Estelle’s adv ice but for the 9time I didn’t like her response. When I went to the hospital to visit her for what turned out to be the last time, she was waiting for me with a book about Israel on her bed and made it very clear that she10me to go—that it was her greatest wish for me to go—haw could I 11her. Aunt Estelle was the most unselfish person I ever knew and would not even consider my 12about going.

Rosa didn’t li ke her job at the factory, but it was better than no job at all. So,while she was trying not to think about work, she saw the pots in an alley. They were cheap plastic pots, but there were dozens of them piled up behind the flower shop. Such a waste, she thought. When the pots were still there three days later, Rosa went in and asked if she could take some. The flower shop lady said she didn’t mind, so Rosa carried home a tower of pots, pretending she was a circus performer on the way.At home, Rosa set them on the fire escape outside her tiny apartment. And there they sat. Once a gust of wind sent them slipping to the street three floors below, and she had to go to run after and catch them before the gathering storm.Every day, Rosa went to work and thought about her pots- She was wailing for something, but she had patience.At last, the newspaper brought good news. A hardware store had a sale on potting soil. Rosa carefully counted her money, then walked six blocks to the store. She bought six bags and carried them home. She bought seeds, too. Rosa slept well that night and dreamed of masses of flowers and fat, glowing fruits,Sundays were always good days. Rosa didn’t have to work on Sundays. But Rosa couldn’t remember when she had had such a good Sund ay. She got up early and ate her breakfast on the fire escape with her pots. Then, she began to put dirt into the pots. She sang a little song until all six of her bags of soil were empty. Then, she laid her precious seed packets out and planned her garden. Tomatoes for the biggest pots, and peppers for the next-biggest ones.Flowers in all the rest.At the end of the day, Rosa sat in her garden and watched the sunset. Soon, she thought, there will be masses of flowers and fat, glowing fruits.（1）Why did Rosa wail 3 days before she asked about the pots?A . She didn’t like the pots at first.B . She had been waiting for a discount.C . She had no idea how to make use of them.D . She needed to make sure they were unwanted.（2）What can we learn about Rosa?A . She was a workaholic.B .

Lonely.18. 阅读理解Prinker: Color Your WayTattoos always look so cool, but actually getting one is quite a commitment. After all, apart from using expensive laser removal therapy, they stay on your skin forever.The Prinker is here to change the game. It is a device that lets you create or print any image or temporary tattoos within a matter of seconds. It is connected to your smartphone and you can select a bunch of preloaded tattoos available in the app.This device was exhibited at The International Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas this year. It is manufactured by a Korean startup company called“SketchOn”.You can sketch your ideas out on your skin with this portable device that is almost twice the size of a computer mouse. This is a nice way to support your team in the match by printing its logo or design onto your skin. You can also share your tattoo designs with others through the app. It is also a fun and creative toy for kids to play with.In order to print the design, all you need to do is select or draw a design on your mobile and then press and rub the base of the device against your skin and you are done. These designs and images are water resistant but can be washed off with soap water. The ink of the Prinker is non-toxic and is made only from certified cosmetic ingredients. Each cartridge contains enough ink fo r about 1,500 tattoos, or as J+ R. Smith would call it, “a good start.”The Prinker is developed by a small team of five members. The company is planning to launch the device in China and then in the United States. The device is currently commercializing in Korea as a rental device. The agencies and organizations pay $150 for a day to use it in their events or marketing.The current version of Prinker is aimed towards business users . But the company is working on a home version, and hopes to have it available to buy before the end of 2018. SketchOn estimates the personal model will retail at $200. The company is currently seeking to partner with international agencies for distribution opportunities.Although Prinker is currently aimed towards novelty and creative purposes, its technologies could eventually be adapted for use by professionaltattoo artists or medical professionals who provide tattoos for patients, such as after a breast cancer operation or skin graft.（1）According to the passage, tattoos by Prinker ______.A . can stay permanentlyB . are convenient to printC . can draw more attentionD . are expensive to remove（2）What can we learn from the passage?A . Prinker can be used to create any image in a short time.B . Prinker is preloaded with many tattoo designs inside.C . Prinker is available for kids in their daily activities.D . Prinker has been adapted for professional use.（3）Where can we probably use Prinker at present?A . At a company annual meeting.B . At a surgical ward in the hospital.C . At a family gathering at home.D . At a professional tattoo shop.（4）The passage is intended to .A . persuade people to buy PrinkerB . promote various methods of getting tattoosC . introduce a new tattoo printing device to readersD . search for business partners for further expansion19. 阅读理解A large body of research has been developed in recent years to explain many aspects of willpower. Most of the researchers exploring self-control do so with an obvious goal in mind: How can willpower be strengthened? If willpower is truly a limited resource, as the research suggests, what can be done to make it stay strong?Avoiding temptation to being exhausted in the first place. Researcherswho study self-control often describe it as being like a muscle that gets tired with heavy use. But there is another aspect to the muscle comparison, they say. While muscles become exhausted by exercise in the short term, they are strengthened by regular exercise in the long term. Similarly, regular practices of self-control may improve willpower strength.The evidence from willpower-exhaustion studies also suggests that making a list of resolutions on New Year’s Eve is the worst possible approach» Being exhausted in one area can reduce willpower in other areas, so it makes mo re sense to focus on a single goal at a time. In other words, don’t try to quit smoking, adopt a healthy diet and start a new exercise plan at the same time. Taking goals one by one is a better approach. Once a good habit is in place, Baumeister says, you’ll no longer need to draw on your willpower to maintain the behavior. Eventually healthy habits will become routine, and won’t require making decisions at all.Many questions about the nature of self-control remain to be answered by further research. Yet it seems likely that with clear goals, good self-monitoring and a little practice, you can train your willpower to stay strong in the face of temptation.（1）From the studies in the passage we learn that ______.A . people have unlimited self-controlB . high motivation ensures one’s successC . willpower is hardly completely exhaustedD . too many temptations often lead to failure（2）The underlined phrase “tap into” in Paragraph 3 most probablymeans ______.A . make use ofB . run out ofC . buildD . increase（3）The author compares self-control to muscles ______.A . to prove the long-term effects of willpowerB . to show the significance of regular exerciseC . to argue that self-control can be easily used upD . to explain the benefits of practicing self-control（4）To develop a good habit, which of the following does the author prefer?A . “I will give up dessert and do exercise.”B . “I will set three goals this n ew semester.”C . “I will keep myself from any temptation.”D . “I will read an English novel every month.”20. 阅读理解The aggressive spread of market economics and communication technologies~often under the control of Western multinational companies—brings new challenges to local cultures and values in non-Western societies. Sometimes it seems as if a tidal wave of the worst Western culture is creeping across the globe like a giant strawberry milkshake spill oat and over the planet, with a flavor that is distinctly sweet, sickly and apparently homogeneous .For some, especially the young, change may mean escape from oppressive traditions. It may also bring new opportunities for cultures to be combined in creative ways. However, there is genuine cause for concern about the rate at which cultures are being worn away in such a globalized world.Perhaps by far the most important far-reaching effect of cultural globalization is the commercialization of culture, which has a disturbing impact on local people’s exist ing values. They are increasingly bombarded with new images, new music, new clothes and new values. The familiar and old are to be abandoned. While there was cultural change long before globalization, there is a danger that much will be lost simply because it is not valued by global markets. In West Africa for example, traditional values have been overtaken by Coca-Cola culture which the local people don’t yet have the values to deal with successfully.Another common aspect of the globalized culture is that it pursues the same “one size fits all” American ideal. The result of this cultural process of homogenization is that a large section of the world’s population dreams of living like Cosby & Co. or like the characters in any other stereotype American soap opera. In addition, the dream of living a better life causes thousands of people to move to already overcrowded cities whose population has boomed by millions within the last decades. The majority of these new immigrants end up in slums leading to poverty, pollution and misery.Such gradual aggression against people’s existing values and cultures has a destructive impact on their sense of who they are, what they want and what they respect. It attacks spiritual values and faith traditions. The accumulative effect in non-Western societies is a crisis of cultural confidence, combined with the increased economic uncertainty and crime which global integration may bring. This creates real problems for social stability» whether itis at the level of nation, community or family.In conclusion, cultural globalization，or worldwide McDonaldization, destroys diversity and displaces the opportunity to sustain decent life through a mixture of many different cultures. It is more a consequence of power concentration in the global media and manufacturing companies than the people’s own wish to abandon their cultural identity and diversity,（1）It can be learned from Paragraph 1 that ______.A . non-Western societies willingly accept economic globalizationB . Western culture unites the world、economies and technologiesC . the booming of Western culture destroys non-Western societiesD . despite its appeal, westernization shows an unpleasant uniformity（2）Which best serves as an example of the “one size fits all” principle in non-Western nations?A . McDonald receives more criticism abroad than at home.B . Many Africans dream of a middle class American lifestyle.C . Chinese food wins great approval in the United Kingdom.D . Some western young people fancy a visit to African countries,（3）What is the writer’s attitude towards cultural globalization?A . Cautious.B . Critical.C . Positive.D . Neutral.（4）The passage is mainly about _______.A . cultural diversity in globalizationB . challenges to non-Western culturesC . drawbacks of cultural globalizationD . disappearance of non-Western cultures四、任务型阅读21. 任务型阅读If you were like most kids, your mother told you there were three no-no’s when it came to your fingers: Don’t put them in an electrical outlet, don’t stick them up your nose , and don’t use them when you are counting.________But experts in education and cognition now believe that using your fingers to do math is not only a perfectly good idea but may even help children become superior students.It certainly makes sense. When children count on their fingers, they take an abstract concept— mathematics—and translate it into the most basic and visual form.________Even when we aren’t actually counting on them, they still can help us on math problem,________It activates when we respond to heat, pressure, pain, or the use of a given finger. Studying brain scans, researchers discovered that when students aged 8 to 13 work on subtraction equations, this region “lights up” on the scans, even if the students aren’t using their fingers. The more compl ex the problem, the more activities are detected.The connection between finger use and math ability has been shown on old-fashioned math tests as well. With their eyes closed, first graders were asked to identify which of their fingers a researcher was touching,________When college students were given the same quiz, the highest scores once again performed best on calculation tests.So what does all this mean? For one thing, parents and teachersshouldn’t discourage children from counting on their fingers.________Memorizing the multiplication tables may help, but it is not the best option. “I would like to see interesting and creative representations of ideas.” says Jo Boaler, a professor of math educatio n.Recently, a series of activities have been designed to strengthen students’ perception of their fingers. Maybe in the near future, there will be only two no-no 1s regarding the use of fingers.A. The first two laws of fingers are as true as ever.B. There is a section of the brain, called the somatosensory finger area.C. Researchers also stress that students simply learn better using visual tools.D. Researchers are unimpressed by those students who finish quickly as well.E. In fact, experts believe t he brain is able to “see” a representation of our fingers.F. That may sound simplistic, but the researchers offer an interesting explanation.G. Researchers found those scoring highest on the finger-ID questions scored higher on a math test.五、书面表达22. 你的英国朋友Jim在给你的邮件中提到他对中国文学很感兴趣，并请你向他推荐一部优秀的中国文学作品。

第I卷第一部分：阅读理解第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。
AWhen your parents advi se you to “get an education” in order to raise your income, they tell you only half the truth. What they really mean is to get just enough education to provide manpower（人力资源）for your society, but not so much that you prove an embarrassment to your society.Get a high school diploma, at least. Without that, you will be occupationally dead unless your name happens to be George Bernard Shaw or Thomas Alva Edison, and you can successfully dropout in grade school.Get a college degree, if possible. With a B. A., you are on the launching pad. But now you have to start to put on the brakes. If you go for a master‟s degree, make sure it is an M.B.A., and the famous law of diminishing(逐渐减少的) returns begins to take effect.Do you know, for instance, that long-haul truck drivers earn more per year than full professors? Yes, the average salary for those truckers was $24000 while the full professors managed to earn just $23030.A doctorate is the highest degree you can get. Except for a few specialized fields such as physics or chemistry where the degree can quickly be turned to industrial or commercial purposes, if you pursue such a degree in any other field, you will face a future which is not bright. There are more doctors unemployed or underemployed in this country than any other part of the world.If you become a doctor in English or history or anthropology or political science or languages or—worst of all—in philosophy, you run the risk of becoming overeducated for our national demands. Not for our needs, mind you, but for our demands.Thousands of doctors are selling shoes, driving cars, waiting on table, and endlessly filling out applications month after month. They may also take a job in some high school or backwater(闭塞) college that pays much less than the doorkeeper earns.You can equate the level of income with the level of education only so far. Far enough, that is, to make you useful to the gross national product, but not so far that nobody can turn much of a profit on you.1. According to the writer, what the society expects of education is to turn out people who ______.A. will not be a disgrace to societyB. will become loyal citizensC. can take care of themselvesD. can meet the nation‟s demand as a sourc e of manpower2. Many doctors are out of job because ______.A. they are improperly educatedB. they are of little commercial value to their societyC. there are fewer jobs in high schoolsD. they prefer easier jobs that make more money3. Which of the following is NOT true?A. Bernard Shaw didn‟t finish high school, nor did Edison.B. One must think carefully before pursuing a master‟s degree.C. The higher your education level, the more money you will earn.D. If you are too well-educated, you‟ll be overeducated for society‟s demands.4. The writer sees education as ______.A. a means of providing job security and financial security and a means of meeting a country‟sdemands for technical workersB. a way to broaden one‟s horizonsC. more important than finding a jobD. an opportunity that everyone should haveBMy heart sank when the man at the immigration counter gestured to the back room. I was born and raised in America, and this was Miami, where I live, but they weren‟t quite ready to let me in yet.“Please wait in here, Ms. Abujaber,” the immigration officer said. My husband, with his very American last name, accompanied me. He was getting used to this. The same thing had happened recently in Canada when I‟d flown to Montreal to speak at a book e vent. That time they held me for 45 minutes. Today we were returning from a literary festival in Jamaica, and I was shocked that I was being sent “in back” once again.The officer behind the counter called me up and said, “Miss, your name looks like the name of someone who‟s on our wanted list. We‟re going to have to check you out with Washington.”“How long will it take?”“Hard to say…a few minutes,” he said, “We‟ll call you when we‟re ready for you.” After an hour, Washington still hadn‟t decided an ything about me.“Isn‟t this computerized?” I asked at the counter, “Can‟t you just look me up?”“Just a few more minutes,” they assured me.After an hour and a half, I pulled my cell phone out to call the friends I was supposed to meet that evening. A n officer rushed over. “No phones!” he said, “For all we know you could be callinga terrorist cell and giving them information.”“I‟m just a university professor,” I said. My voice came out in a squeak.“Of course you are. And we take people like you out of here in leg irons every day.”I put my phone away.My husband and I were getting hungry and tired. Whole families had been brought into the waiting room, and the place was packed with excitable children, exhausted parents, and even a flight attendant.I wanted to scream, to jump on a chair and shout: “I‟m an American citizen; a novelist; I probably teach English literature to your children.”After two hours in detention (扣押), I was approached by one of the officers. “You‟re free to go,” he said. No explanation or apologies. For a moment, neither of us moved. We were still in shock. Then we leaped to our feet.“Oh, one more thing,” he handed me a tattered photocopy with an address on it, “If you aren‟t happy with your treatment, you can write to this agency.”“Will they respond?” I asked.“I don‟t know—I don‟t know of anyone who‟s ever written to them before.” Then he added,” By the way, this will probably keep happeni ng each time you travel internationally.”“What can I do to keep it from happening again?”He smiled the empty smile we‟d seen all day, “Absolutely nothing.”After telling several friends about our ordeal, probably the most frequent advice I‟ve heard in response is to change my name. Twenty years ago, my own graduate school writing professor advised me to write under a pen name so that publishers wouldn‟t stick me in what he called “the ethnic ghetto”—a separate, secondary shelf in the bookstore. But a name is an integral part of anyone‟s personal and professional identity—just like the town you‟re born in and the place where you‟re raised.Like my father, I‟ll keep the name, but my airport experience has given me a whole new perspective on what diversity and tolerance are supposed to mean. I had no idea that being an American would ever be this hard.5. The author was held at the airport because ______.A. she and her husband returned from JamaicaB. her name was similar to a terrorist‟sC. she had been held in MontrealD. she had spoken at a book event6. She was not allowed to call her friends because ______.A. her identity hadn‟t been confirmed yetB. she had been held for only one hour and a halfC. there were other families in the waiting roomD. she couldn‟t use her own cell phone7. We learn from the passage that the author would ______ to prevent similar experience fromhappening again.A. write to the agencyB. change her nameC. avoid traveling abroadD. do nothing8. Her experiences indicate that there still exists ______ in the US.A. hatredB. discriminationC. toleranceD. diversityCA young person, especially a female, shining with beauty and full of life, has all the favor granted. Youth however, comes and goes in a flash. Packaging for the middle-aged is primarily to hide the marks made by years. If you still enjoy life enough to keep self-confidence and work at pioneering work, you are unique in your natural qualities, and your attractiveness and grace will remain. Elderly people are beautiful if their river of life has been, through plains, mountains and jungles, running its course as it should. You have really lived your life, which now arrives at a self - satisfied stage of quietness and calmness with no interest in fame or wealth. There is no need to make use of hair dyeing. The snow-capped mountain itself is a beautiful scene of fairyland. Let your looks change from young to old in step with the natural ageing process so as to keep in harmony with nature, for harmony itself is beauty, while the other way round will only end in unpleasantness. To be in the company of the elderly is like reading a thick book of good edition, which attracts one so much that one is unwilling to part with it. As long as one finds where one stands, one knows how to package oneself, just as a commodity sets up its brand by the right packaging.9. The underlined word in the first paragraph is closest to the word ______ in meaning.A. decorationB. clarificationC. movementD. identification10. It can be concluded from the text that ______.A. people should be packaged at all agesB. people should be packaged in a special wayC. elderly people also care about packagingD. proper packaging makes people attractive11. For the middle-aged, attractiveness ______ .A. hardly existsB. is the strongestC. comes from the insideD. comes from the appearance12. According to the author, if you want to keep in harmony with nature, you should ______.A. dye your hairB. make up at a young ageC. follow the ageing processD. give up fame and wealthD“Enough” with the multivitamins already. That‟s the message from experts behind three new studies that tackled an often debated question: Do daily multivitamins make you healthier?“We believe that the case is clo sed - supplementing(补充) the diet of well-nourished adults with (most) mineral or vitamin supplements has no clear benefit and might even be harmful,” concluded the authors of the editorial summarizing the new research papers. They urge consumers to not …waste‟ their money on multivitamins. “The …stop wasting your money‟ means that perhaps you‟re spending money on things that won‟t protect you long term,” editorial co-author, Dr. Edgar Miller said, “What will protect you is if you spend the money on fruits, vegetables, nuts, be ans, low fat dairy, and things like that. Exercising would probably be a better use of the money.”The strong message was based on a review of the findings from three studies that tracked multivitamins link to cancer protection, heart health, and brain and cognitive(认知的) measures. The first study looked at vitamin supplementation‟s role in preventing chronic(慢性的) disease. The next study looked at whether long-term use of multivitamins would have any effect on slowing cognitive decline. The third study looked specifically at multivitamins and minerals role in preventing heart attack. “The three studies found no difference in rates of chronic disease, heart attack and the need for hospitalization between vitamin-takers and placebo(安慰剂)-takers.” Dr. Edgar Miller stated.One expert agreed some nutrient-deficient people may still benefit from multivitamins. “There might be an argument to continue taking a multi(vitamin) to replace or supplement your not healthy diet,” Dr. Edgar Miller added. He also notes that vi tamins can benefit people with celiac disease and those who are pregnant.13. This text is likely to be selected from a book of .A. medicineB. educationC. foodD. business14. Which of the following is NOT Dr. Edgar Miller‟s opini on according to the passage?A. Vitamins should not be used for chronic disease prevention. Enough is enough.B. Having a balanced diet and exercising would probably be a better way to keep healthy.C. The three studies do not provide support for use of multivitamin supplements.D. Taking vitamins to replace or supplement your healthy diet is necessary.15. What can be inferred from the text?A. Vitamin supplements have proved harmful to the health of adults.B. Vitamin supplements are beneficial in certain conditions.C. Nowadays taking vitamin supplements is common to most people.D. Daily multivitamins will make you healthier.16. The author‟s purpose of writing the text is most likely to___________. .A. persuadeB. describeC. informD. instruct第二节：（共5小题每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。

When with close friends, she becomes a leader who laughs loudly and chants. “Girls rule, boys drool.” But when that comfort zone is not around her, she is shy and nervous.This has been challenging for me at times. “Shy” is not a word that I think has ever been used to describe me. But this has been year of firsts for my girl that has filled her with a new sense of confidence. This year she moved to lap lane in swimming where she was preparing for a swim team. This year she learned to ride a bike without training wheels. And this year she completed her first kids’ triathlon（三项全能）.On Saturday, with a thunderstorm coming soon and my son’s birthday party later in the day, we all went out in the dark of the morning for Kelly to participate in her first triathlon. We practiced transitions from swim to bike to run with her, we got all t he equipment she’d need, and we kept talking about the race. But as we waited the two hours for the older kidsto finish before her turn, she held my leg a little harder and told me she loved me a few too many times. She was nervous but trying to keep it together.And then it was her turn. From the second she jumped into the water, my heart soared. My daughter transformed into the most confident human being I had ever seen. She dominated that swim, crushed that bike ride and ran to the finish with the biggest smile on her face.I can honestly say that I never felt so proud of someone in my entire life. It wasn’t because she did a sport or anything like that. It was because she was afraid of something and conquered that fear with confidence and a fire I hadn’t seen before.All day I would find myself just looking over at her and smiling. She might be wearing the finalist medal but I felt like I won that day. I won the chance to see my girl shine.Shine on, sweet baby.4.Kelly is nervous when ________.A. boys are around herB. she changes into a leaderC. she is away from her momD. situations are new to her5.We can learn from Paragraph 3 that______.A. the race began in the early morningB. Kelly was eager for her turn in the raceC. the whole fami ly gave Kelly supportD. her brother’s birthday party was delayed.6. In the ending paragraphs the author “felt like I won that day” because Kelly________.A. Took part in the sportB. Expressed love to herC. Won the gold medalD. Changed completely7. What kind of person do you think Kelly is?A. Timid and determinedB. Cute and confidentC. Fearful and energeticD. Sociable and braveCStanding in the shower waiting for the water to het up could be a thing of the past, along with all the wasted water. Three and a half years ago, Lindy Honeychurch, a thirty-year-old Australian full-time mum living on a farm outside Launceston, didn’t consider herself a very good water saver. Neither did her partner who often complained about it with good reasons. Their farm had to rely on tank water and solar power, which meant water had to be trucked in if he tank water ran out in summer.“I looked at where I could save because I could lead an easier life without the complaint,” she said. Modeling her idea on a car thermostat(恒温器), Lindy used her kids’ magnetic(磁的)drawing board to design a device that diverts the cold water back down the hot water pipe. “The first aim when I started designing was to keep it really small and simple without having to use power. I wanted to keep it as something that everyone could use,” said Lindy.She got a patent for her design and took it to some engineers to have it tested out. At first, even though the engineers were amazed that she wasn’t an engineer, she said she so metimes found it hard to be taken seriously. “My age was a real factor because in the plumbing(管路系统)and manufacturing industries you’re dealing with people who’ve got a lot of experiences,” she said. But the engineers soon saw the potential of hr design, which she estimated would save average families between 14,000 to 22,000 liters per year.” when you transfer that to the dollar savings on tank water that you have to buy, it can be a saving of $600 per year,” said Lindy.Armed with positive feedback from engineers and people using rainwater tanks, her design proved a great success. Soon she found a manufacturer early this year, and completed a state government commercial ready course to help her research, her markets and distribution channels. With an Australian Standard for her device just approved, she’s about to start manufacturing and wishes to see her products on the shelves within the next few months. Once that happens, Lindy plans to return to being a full-time mum.8. What does the second paragraph mainly about?A. Lindy’s unhappy familyB. Lindy’s comfortable farm lifeC. The funct ion of Lindy’s inventionD. The background to Lindy’s invention9. What drove Lindy to invent a water-saving device?A. Her dull life as a housewifeB. The difficulty in getting water on her farmC. Her husband’s requestD. The need of increasing agricultural water10. What happened when Lindy first took her design to some engineers?A. They did not pay much attention to itB. they believed it was a great inventionC. They helped her test it out immediatelyD. They laughed at her because it was no use at all11. What can we know from the text?A. Lindy didn’t enjoy being a full-time housewife but liked being a working mumB. Lindy’s products have been widely welcomed in the markets at home and abroadC. Lindy’s design was liked by engineers and peop le using rainwater tanksD. Lindy had a lot of experience in the plumbing and manufacturing industriesDAs we grow old, we realize that we have so little time to read and there are so many great books that we’ve yet to get around to. Yet re-readers are everywhere around us. For certain fans, re-reading The Lord of the Rings is a conventional practice annually. One friend told me that Jane Austen’s Emma can still surprise him, despite his having read it over 50 times.New sudden clear understandings can be gained from the process of re-reading. Journalist Rebecca Mead, a long-time Englishwoman in New York, first came across George Eliot’s Middle march at 17. Since then, she has read it again every five years. With each re-reading, it has opened up further. Mead evidenced the large number of ways in which really good books not only stand the test of repeat reads, but also offer fresh gifts each time we crack their spines. These kinds of books grow with us.Scientists have also recognized the mental health benefits of re-reading. As researcher Cristel Russell of the American University explained, returning to a book “brings new or renewed appreciation of both the great book and its readers.”It’s true that we often find former selves on the pages of old books (if we’re fond of making notes on the pages). These texts can carry us back to a time and place, and remind us of the kind of person that we were then.A book is a joint project between writers and readers, and we must pour so much of ourselves into reading that our own life story can become connected with the story in the book.Perhaps what’s really strange is that we don’t re-read more often. After all, we watch our favourite films again and we wouldn’t think of listening to an album only once. We treasure messy old paintings as objects, yet of all art forms, literature alone is a largely one-time delight. A book, of course, takes up more time, but as Mead confirms, the rewardsmake it adequately worthwhile.12. Why are the two books mentioned in Paragraph 1?A. To attract the attention of readers.B. To introduce the topic of the passage.C. To provide some background information.D. To show the similarity between re-readers.13. What does the underlined expression “crack their spines” in Paragraph 2 refer to?A. Recite them.B. Retell them.C. Recall them.D. Re-read them.14. What can be learned from the passage?A. Reading benefits people both mentally and physically.B. Readers mainly focus on feelings on their first reading.C. We know ourselves better through re-reading experience.D. Writers inspire the same imaginations as film directors do.15. What is the writer’s purpose of the passage?A. To bring awareness to the significance of rereading.B. To focus on the mental health benefits of reading.C. To call on different understandings of old books.D. To introduce the effective ways of re-reading old books.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

2018届甘肃省高台县第一高三上学期第四次检测英语试题
2018届甘肃省高台县第一高三上学期第四次检测英语试题第一部分：阅读理解（共两节，20 分）第一节（共15 小题；每小题 2 分，共30 分）阅读下列短文：从每题所给的A、B、C、D 四个选项中，选出最佳选项，将正确的选项涂在答题卡上。
AThe giant water bodies like oceans,rivers, and lakes may seem attractive, but it is entirely different beneath and within them. So it’d be useful to inform you about the world’s most dangerous waters. If you’ve booked your trip to one of these places, it might be wise to change your plan.Fraser Island, AustraliaFraser Island is situated along the southern coast of Queensland, Au stralia. It’s known to be the largest sand island globally. While the scene and waters surrounding Fraser Island look beautiful, it’s a prohibited zone, as the seas are home to loads of sharks and other dangerous creatures.Kilauea, Hawaii, USKilauea is a town located on the northeastern shore of Kauai, one of the eight islands of Hawaii. Hawaii is well-known for its beautiful beaches, rolling waves and pleasant weather. However, the place has many active volcanoes like Mount Kilauea. The beach is dangerou s since it’s located close to active volcanoes.Victoria Falls, ZambiaThe Victoria Falls in the Zambia is a wonderful sight for it’s beauty, but is a dangerous place as well. There’s a natural pool called Devil’s Pool near the edge of the falls. The pool is a great spot for swimmers, but occasional deaths have taken place when people had slipped over the rock barrier. The huge cliff over which the falls move rapidly, changes the calm water into a violent stream.Recife, BrazilOver 100 shark attacks have occurred since 1931. Most of these attacks took place in a town of Brazil, called Recife, which has a beach, well-known for shark attacks. It was filled with swimmers and surfers, but that isn’t the case today, Today, the place is known to be one of the top 10 places with shark attacks in the world according to the International Shark Attack File.1.Who is the text intended for?A. PhotographersB. BiologistsC. TouristsD. Engineers2.Which two places have the same cause of their danger?A. Kilauea and RecifeB. Fraser Island and RecifeC. Kilauea and Victoria FallsD. Fraser Island and Victoria Falls3.What can we know about the waters mentioned in the text?A. They are appealing as well as dangerousB. They cause deaths on a yearly basis.C. They are located close to an island.D. They are deserted due to their danger.BRobert and Howard had always gotten along well. They’d worked on several projects together and considered each other friends. So when Robert discovered that Howard held a strategy meeting and hadn’t included him, he felt betrayed. He sent a text to Howard immediately: “I can’t believe you didn’t include me in that meeting!”Howard was in the middle of a client meeting when his phone received the new text. Stealing a look at his phone, he felt a mixture of things: concern, anger, embarrassment, frustration, defensiveness. The text distracted Howard, and his meeting didn’t go as well as he had hoped. His anger grew as he thought about the fact that in a meeting earlier that week, Robert didn’t support an idea Howard proposed to Jane, their CEO, though before the meeting Howard had said he liked the idea. So as soon as Howard stepped out of his client meeting, he sent a simple reply to Robert: “I can’t believe you left me hanging in our meeting with Jane.”Two little texts managed to upset a relationship that had been good for years. This brief but improper exchange can teach us a lot of things. For instance, don’t text when you’re angry, and don’t municate in the middle of any strong negative feeling.To make municating efficient, you should start with thinking about the oute you’re aiming for, and then respond in a way that will achieve that oute. In Robert and Howard’s situation, the outes they wanted were very similar: to be connected, and to be supported. Yet their reactions to each other brought them the exact opposite. Actually, the rule here is simple: Don’t municate just because you feel like it. Namely, they should municate when they both aren’t angry.4.Why did Robert send the text to Howard?A. Howard betrayed him at work.B. Howard held a meeting without inviting himC. Howard didn’t involve him in a project.D. Howard hid him from the truth5.What made Howard angrier?A. His meeting’s failure.B. His leader’s criticism.C. His friend’s negative textD. A previous unpleasant experience6. Why did Robert and Howard put an end to their friendship?A. They weren’t connected enoughB. They didn’t handle issues calmlyC. They were misled by someone else.D. They had a negative attitude towards life.7. What is the text focused on?A. The end of two close persons’ friendshipB. The effects of negative emotions on friendship.C. Lessons from two persons’ failing relationship.D. Ways to overe ineffective munications.CBrain tests at the age of three appear to predict a child's future chance of success in life, say researchers. Low cognitive(认知的)test scores for skills like language indicate less developed brains, possibly caused by too little stimulation(激励in early life. These youngsters are more likely to bee criminals, dependent on welfare or having long-lasting illness unless they are given support later on. Their study in New Zealand appears in the journal, Nature Human Behavior.The US researchers from Duke University say the findings highlight the importance of early life experiences and necessity to support disadvantaged youngsters. Although the study followed people in New Zealand, the investigators believe that the results could apply to other countries.They followed the lives of more than 1,000 children. Those who had low test scores for language, behavioral movement and cognitive skills at three years old went on to account for more than 80% of crimes, required 78% of prescriptions and received 66% of social welfare payments in adulthood.It is known that disadvantaged people use a greater share of services. While many of the children in the study who were behind in brain development came from disadvantaged backgrounds,poverty was not the only link with poor futures.When the researchers took out children below the poverty line in a separate analysis, they found that a similar proportion(比例）of middle class children who scored low in tests when they were three also went on to experience difficulties when they were older.8. According to Paragraph 1, the youngsters with low cognitive test scores ___________.A. will have developed brains laterB. will probably depend on welfare unless supportedC. are less likely to bee criminalsD. have no stimulation in their criminals9. The underlined word “highlight” in Paragraph 2 probably means “________”A.realizeB. stressC. brightenD. lighten10. From the text, we can infer that ____________.A. the children in New Zealand have low test scoresB. disadvantaged people have little access to publicC. not all poor futures result from povertyD. one’s success in life is determined by early test scores11. What could be the best title for the text?A. The success and the experienceB. Ways to predict a child’s future chance of successC.. The importance of family backgroundsD. Brain tests can predict children’s futuresDMost American students go to traditional public schools. There are about 88, 000 public schools all over the US. Some students attend about 3000 independent public schools called charter schools.Charter schools are self-governing. Private panies operate some charter schools. They are similar in some ways to traditional public schools. They receive tax money just as other public schools do. Charter schools must prove to local or state governments that their students are learning. These governments provide the schools with the agreement called a charter that permits them to operate.Charter schools are different because they do not have to obey most laws that governtraditional public schools. Local state, or federal governments cannot tell them what to teach. Each school can choose its own goals and decide what to teach and how to teach them in their own way. Class size is usually smaller than in traditional public schools.The Federal government strongly supports charter schools as a way to re-organize public schools, which are failing to educate students. But some education agencies and unions are against charter schools. One teachers’ union has just released the results of the first national study, which pared the progress of students in both traditional schools and charter schools.The American Federation of Teachers criticized the government's delay in releasing the results of the study, which is called the National Assessment of Educational Progress. Union education experts say the study shows that charter school students performed worse on math and reading tests than students in regular public schools.Some experts say the study is not fair because students in charter schools have more problems than students in traditional schools. Other education experts say the study results would make charter school officials realize that they should help their students make greater progress.12. Which of the following suggests charter schools are independent?A. They make greater progressB. They enjoy more freedomC. Their class size is smaller.D. They oppose traditional ways13. What’ s the government’ s attitude toward charter schools?A. Doubtful.B. Supportive. D. Satisfied. D. Unclear.14. What can we learn from the text?A. More students choose to attend charter schools.B. Charter schools are better than traditional schools.C. Students in charter schools are well educated.D. People have different opinions about charter schools.15. It can be inferred from the text that ___________.A. charter schools are all privately financedB. the number of charter schools will be limitedC. one-on-one attention should be paid to studentsD. charter schools are part of the public education system第二节（共 5 小题；每小题 2 分。

It’s Zhang Yixing, the singer and dancer standing there for us young people in China, and the very one who stopped me from falling.Three years ago, my new school life began. As a junior boy from the countryside, I could hardly keep up. I tried, but still felt like an outsider. Nobody would pick me for teamwork. So I stayed in the corner, hanging my head low as if I didn’t care. There was a fear in me that all my school life would be colorless.Then on May 4, I saw “colorless〞in Yixing’s book about his life. How could this be true for someone just named the youth idol(青年(qīngnián)偶像)? I read the book again, smiling with the fun partof his childhood and touched by his promise to his mum.Something wet my eyes when he joked about his training years in Korea. He doubled his practice, pushing himself so hard as to becalled “the trainee(练习生) like god〞. He said it probably meant “the trainee like mad〞.I might have tried, but not as hard as he did. “Whenever I feel I might be falling, I tell myself to hold on until I find my moment.〞says Yixing. For me, this moment means a better self inside and a larger world outside. So I told myself I would also make a difference if I could hold on for a longer time.Luckily, every Youth Day after that, Yixing would be there on CCTV, encouraging me with his progress. When someone asked him what colorhis training life was, Yixing smiled, “It’s colorless. I don’tknow what color effort is.〞But effort pays off. Now he’s standing at the Asian Culture Carnival, and I know he is looking forward to something even bigger.19. When the writer just moved to the city, he __________.A. enjoyed his new school lifeB. had a hard time at his newschoolC. stood outside the classroomD. wanted to go back to the countryside20. Zhang Yixing was called “the trainee like god〞 because__________.A. he kept his promise to his mumB. he pushed everything away from himC. he was really good at telling jokesD. he spent so much time in practicing21. The writer mainly wants to tell us that __________.A. sometimes people choose to live a life without colorB. we can make a difference if we work hard enoughC. great effort can make you a great singer and dancerD. school life can be full of colors if we read more books22. We can infer that the writer __________.A. is ready for a trip around the worldB. is leaving to sing and danceC. is expecting a better future for himselfD. is writing a book about himselfCNot only does the use of plastic water bottles hurt your wallet, it also increases pollution and wastes energy and water. Only 23 % of all plastic in America ends up in a recycling bin, meaning over $ 1 billion worth of plastic is treated as rubbish a year. Recently, Skipping Rocks Lab has invented a kind of water bottle called Ooho.It is a convenient, clear water bottle that can either be drunken or eaten. To drink it, you can either peel off the membrane(薄膜) or tear a hole in the membrane with your teeth to pour the water into your mouth. To eat it, you simply put the whole bottle in your mouth. One problem the scientists have run into is how to ship large amounts of Ooho bubbles(水泡(shuǐ pào)) without arriving with a very wet truck. However, they have attempted to package units of individual bubbles together inside a larger and thicker membrane. It istargeting large outdoor events such as marathons, music festivals, and sporting events, where tons of plastic bottles are used, and frequently left behind as litter. Too much plastic is sure to do harm to the environment, which could account for their purpose of such a new invention.The team has been working for the past two years to develop the technology and materials needed to produce Ooho; they have recently applied a patent for their new advancements. The price for an individual bubble or a unit of bubbles has not been set yet, but they cost about two cents to create a unit, which is cheaper than plastic bottles. It has appeared at events in London, San Francisco, Boston, at conferences, festivals, and so on.Ooho is catching many people’s attention and has raised over $ 1 million and gained 1, 000 investors in only three days. It is mostlybeing sold at events at the moment to keep the consumer’s interest while the production machine is getting up and running. It is quickly making a rise, so keep an eye out this year for these bottles of the future.23. How is most plastic dealt with in America?A. It’s sold.B. It’s recycled.C. It’s buried.D. It’s wasted.24. Why did the team invent Ooho?A. To make a profit for a company.B. To protect the environment.C. To make people eat as they drink.D. To reduce the cost of plastic bottle.25. What can we infer about Ooho from the text?A. It is easy and safe to ship it in large amounts.B. It has become popular since it began to be sold.C. It might be sold at a lower price than plastic bottles.D. It cost the team a lot of money to develop the technology.26. What does the author really want to say in the last paragraph?A. Ooho is to be a success in the future.B. Ooho is being supported by smart people.C. Ooho is taking the place of plastic bottles now.D. Ooho is being produced to attract more investors.DTeens and younger children are reading a lot less for fun, according to a Common Sense Media report published Monday.While the decline over the past decade is steep for teen readers, some data in the report shows that reading remains a big part of many children’s lives, and indicates how parents might help encourage more reading.According to the report’s key findings, “the proportion(比例(bǐlì)) who say they ‘hardly ever’ read for fun has gone from 8 percent of 13-year-olds and 9 percent of 17-year-olds in 1984 to 22 percent and 27 percent respectively today.〞The report data shows that pleasure reading levels for younger children, ages 2-8, remain largely the same. But the amount of time spent in reading each session has declined, from closer to an hour or more to closer to a half hour per session.When it comes to technology and reading, the report does little to counsel(建议) parents looking for data about the effect of e-readers and tablets on reading. It does point out that many parents still limit electronic reading, mainly due to concerns about increased screen time.The most hopeful data shared in the report shows clear evidence of parents serving as examples and important guides for their kids when it comes toreading. Data shows that kids and teens who do read frequently, compared to infrequent readers, have more books in the home, more books purchased for them, parents who read more often, and parents who set aside time for them to read.As the end of school approaches, and school vacation reading lists loom(逼近(bījìn)) ahead, parents might take this chance to step in and make their own summer reading list and plan a family trip to the library or bookstore.27. What is the Common Sense Media report probably about?A. Children’s reading habits.B. Quality of children’s books.C. Children’s after-class activities.D. Parent-child relationships.28. Where can you find the dat a that best supports “children are reading a lot less for fun〞?A. In paragraph 2.B. In paragraph 3.C. In paragraph 4.D. In paragraph 5.29. Why do many parents limit electronic reading?A. E-books are of poor quality.B. It could be a waste of time.C. It may harm children’s health.D. E-readers are expensive.30. How should parents encourage their children to read more?A. Act as role models for them.B. Ask them to writebook reports.C. Set up reading groups for them.D. Talk with their reading class teachers.第三节七选五阅读 (一共(yīgòng)5小题；每一小题2分，满分是10分) 根据短文内容,从短文后的选项里面选出能填入空白处的最正确选项。

高三英语第四次检测考试试题-人教版高三全册英语试题
甘谷一中2015——2016学年高三第四次检测英语试题第一局部阅读理解〔共两节，总分为40分〕第一节 (共15小题；每一小题2分，总分为30分) 阅读如下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最优选项。
并在答题卡上将该选项涂黑．AOne day, I received a call from a colleague. He was about to give a student a zero for his answer to a physical problem, while the student claimed a perfect score.I was elected as their arbiter〔仲裁人〕. I read the examination problem: “Show how it is possible to determine the height of a tall building with the aid of a barometer〔气压计〕. 〞The student had answered; "Take the barometer to the top of the building, attach a long rope to it, lower it to the street, and then bring it up, measuring the length of the rope. The length of it is the height of the building.〞The student had really answered the question completely, but the answer didn't confirm his competence in physics. I suggested the student try again. I gave him six minutes to answer the question, warning that the answer should show some knowledge of physics. Five minutes later, he said he had many answers and dashed off one, which read：“Take the barometer to the top of the building and lean over the edge of the roof. Drop the barometer, timing its fall with a stopwatch. Then, use the physical formula〔公式〕to calculate the height of the building.〞At this point, my colleague had to accept it, and then the student made almost full marks. I couldn't help asking the student what the other answers were. He listed many others, and then added, "Probably the best is to take the barometer to the administrator and said to him, ‘Sir, here is a fine barometer. If you tell me the height of the building, I will give it to you.〞,Then, I asked the student if he really did not know the conventional(传统的) answer to this question. He admitted that he did, but said that he was fed up withhigh school and college instructors trying to teach him how to think.The name of the student was Bohr who later was famous all over the world. He won the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1922.1. The student got a zero at the beginning because _____.A. the teacher wasn't satisfied with himB. his answer wasn't complete or correctC. the teacher didn't fully understand his answerD. his answer didn't show his knowledge of physics2. We know from the passage that _____.A. the student knew the expected answerB. the administrator told Bohr the heightC. the author preferred Bohr's last answerD. the teacher was a very stubborn person3. We can learn from the passage that _____.A. instructors can teach students how to thinkB. arbiters can help students to get high scoresC. students should be given more freedom in thinkingD. teachers should make students use physical formulas4. What was Bohr's attitude toward his schooling?A. OptimisticB. CriticalC. ApprovingD. NeutralBThe role of a newspaper is to present and comment on the news. It is vital for keeping people well-informed on current affairs. In most Western countries, journalists try to shape the ideas and opinions of their readers, since in Western countries all newspapers are independent of the government. Some newspaper owners support liberal ideas including economic policies that help poor people. Other owners want policies such as lower taxes for rich people and less money to be givento poor people. You can almost judge the political ideas of a person in the West by looking at the newspaper he reads.All newspapers report national and international news. They give the facts but also provide opinions on controversial issues in the editorials and columns of opinion. The readers of the newspaper can also comment on these editorials or articles. There are many informative articles too as well as reviews of new films and books, etc. These are very important, for if a film or book gets good reviews it will often become more successful.All these articles require many journalists who are experts in different areas of life. All these articles come together and are checked by the chief editor of the newspaper. When he or she has made a decision on the articles, the newspaper is prepared for printing. All this work means that the journalists must work together as a team because there is a lot of pressure when you work in a newspaper office. There are constant deadlines and articles have to be fitted round advertisements, photographs and much, much more.5. What does the underlined word “be fitted〞 mean?A. be suitableB. be putC. be readD. be measured6. What articles comment on controversial issues?A. Editorials and opinion columns.B. News stories.C. Some of the informative articles.D. Jokes and humour.7. Which is true about the journalists in Western countries?A. There’s no time limit for their report articles.B. They have no right to influence the readers’ opinions.C. A newspaper can come out with just a journalist working individually.D. Journalists must submit their articles before the due date.8. Why are good reviews important to books?A. Good reviews are excellent introduction to books.B. Readers especially favour books with good reviews.C. Good reviews can make readers feel relaxed and comfotable.D. Good reviews can bring a large circulation(发行量) of the books reviewed.CProudly reading my words, I glanced around the room, only to find my classmates bearing big smiles on their faces and tears in their eyes. Confused, I glanced toward my stone-faced teacher. Having no choice, I slowly raised the report I had slaved over, hoping to hide myself. “What could be causing everyone to act this way?〞Quickly, I flashed back to the day Miss Lancelot gave me the task. This was the first real talk I received in my new school. It seemed simple: go on the Internet and find information about a man named George Washington. Since my idea of history came from an ancient teacher in my home country, I had never heard of that name before. As I searched the name of this fellow, it became evident that there were two people bearing the same name who looked completely different! One invented hundreds of uses for peanuts, while the other led some sort of army across America. I stared at the screen, wondering which one my teacher meant. I called my grandfather for a golden piece of advice; flip (掷) a coin. Heads—the commander, and tails—the peanuts guy. Ah! Tails, my report would be about the great man who invented peanut butter, George Washington Carver.Weeks later, standing before this unfriendly mass, I was totally lost. Oh well, I lowered the paper and sat down at my desk, burning to find out what I had done wrong. As a classmate began his report, it all became clear, “My report is on George Washington, the man who started the American Revolution.〞 The whole world became quite! How could I know that she meant that George Washington?Obviously, my grade was awful. Heartbroken but fearless, I decided to turn thisaround. I talked to Miss Lancelot, but she insisted: No re-dos; no new grade. I felt that the punishment was not justified, and I believed I deserved a second chance. Consequently, I threw myself heartily into my work for the rest of the school year. Ten months later, that chance unfolded as I found myself sitting in the headmaster’s office with my grandfather, now having an entirely different conversation. I smiled and flashed back to the embarrassing moment at the beginning of the year as the headmaster informed me of my option to skip the sixth grade. Justice is sweet!9. What did the author’s classmates think about his report?A. interestingB. ridiculous.C. boring.D. puzzling.10. Why was the author confused about the task?A. He was unfamiliar with American history.B. He followed the advice and flipped a coin.C. He forgot his teacher’s instruction.D. He was new at the school.11. The underlined word “burning〞 in Para. 3 probably means _______.A. annoyedB. ashamedC. readyD. eager12. In the end, the author turned things around _______.A. by redoing his taskB. through his own effortsC. with the help of his grandfatherD. under the guidance of his headmasterDI believe that my country，Poland，is a perfect example for a place where food is particularly important. When we were little children, we began to understand how much a loaf of bread meant to our parents—to some it might sound silly but for me the custom of kissing bread before you started cutting it was simply amazing. It’snot so common nowadays to treat food that way，since you hardly ever bake your own bread. Besides, everyone would call you crazy if you tried to kiss every bread roll before you ate them! But though we no longer make our food from scratch (起点), some customs have been kept—that’s why I feel so sorry every time I have to throw any food away—even though I no longer live with my parents and nobody would blame me for this anymore!Many people of our nation are still working as farmers, eating what they grow and harvest a nd therefore enjoying everything more. It’s widely known that you value more anything that needs your effort in the first place. In most homes in Poland, especially those of farmers, the whole family would try and have their meals together—extremely diffic ult now, but so rewarding! You can share other members’ troubles and successes, give your children some attention, or just sit down for a moment, instead of rushing through life aimlessly. Furthermore, your body，and stomach in particular will be very grateful for such a time!In Poland, a wedding，Christmas or even a birthday is celebrated with a great meal. Women in the house get together and cook ,sometimes for a few days before the event，and the extremely good or unusual food will be remembered and widely talked about.You cannot over-value the importance of food in the country. What’s more, almost everyone in Poland will be as interested in the topic as I am.13. When the writer was a child, he/she _______.A. found people were crazy about breadB. began to realize the importance of foodC. thought that cutting bread was amazingD. learned people hardly baked their own bread14. The writer feels very sorry when he/she has to throw away any food because___________.A. he/she makes food from scratchB. his/her parents would blame him/herC. some customs still have effect on him/herD. many people are still working hard as farmers15. From the text, we can learn that, in Poland, ________.A. most meals can be interesting topics for a long timeB. the whole family often have meals together nowadaysC. it’s common for women to get together to cook for a few daysD. family members can know more about each other by having meals together第二节〔共5小题：每一小题2分，总分为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优选项。

SaturdayBWhat would it take to get you to put down your phone during a meal? Sarah’s Corner Caféin Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania, is offering a deal for people who want to enjoy a meal, and each other, unplugged. They’ve set up so-called “family recharging stations” at tables where you drop your phone into a basket."They let the server know and the server will bring over a basket with old fashioned Hangman and Tic Tac Toe and pencils because those games are interactive instead of coloring, which is solitary (孤单的)," owner Barry Lynch told ABC News. Once a family joins in the challenge, staffs bring games to the table to encourage the family to interact and communicate with one another If families make it through the meal without looking at their phones, they're rewarded 10 percent off their bill. "A lot of people are starting to do it and it's taken on a life of its own, "said lynch.The idea for the "family recharging time" came to Lynch after observing many of his customers. "There's one particular family I knew used to come in on Sunday for breakfast after church," he recalled. "Every time I went over, one or two of the kids and sometimes the parents would be on the phone. I also knew the dad would go to New York for work every day, which takes a lot of time. I asked him about that and he said, ‘Yeah, I still do it. It's so nice to be together and these breakfasts are rare.’ And when he said that, I thought, "Something is going on here I need to do something."Lynch is thrilled by the response his phone- free meals have gotten and hopes they continue to enrich his customers' family time. "I just thought it was such a shame not to have more time together just to talk," he said.4. How can a family get a 10% discount at Sarah’s Corner Café?A. They have phone-free meals.B. They take no phones for meals.C. They keep polite during the meals.D. They remain quite during the meals.5. Why do servers bring over the games to the challengers?A. To cater for them.B. To test their courage.C. To make them communicate.D. To develop their game skills.26. What did Barry show by telling the family’s story?A. Why he had pity on the family.B. How the family spent their weekend.C. Why the family members ignored each other.D. How he had the idea for family recharging time.27. What’s the reaction of the customers about their phone-free meals?A. Passive.B. Positive.C. Casual.D. Doubtful.CFor the kids who have just started to read, choosing the right books is essential and their parents should be there to help them.A proper book classification system would be of great help in this regard, since most parents do not know which books suit their children’s reading levels the most. An effective classification system for children’s books would help overcome this problem.Chinese bookstores, online or offline, still prefer to use age rather than reading ability to categorize what they sell. In fact, reading ability and interests vary from child to child even when they are at the same age. This early form of classification is accepted by most bookstores and publishers, yet many young readers get books that are nowhere near their targeted reading levels.China has at least 200 million children under the age of 14, and their enthusiasm for reading has increased over the years. The publishers of children’s books should try to introduce a juvenile-centered classification system to help their readers choose books that are suitable for their reading abilities.Some don’t trust the call for more effective book classif ication, mentioning the need for youngsters to read extensively and avoid restricting themselves to one or two categories. There is a strong case for resisting selective reading, but not book classification, which is designed to help young children develop good reading habits and hold onto them in the long run.Studies have found that kids are less likely to be into reading if they have not developed such a habit before the age of 10. That said, it is in their best interests to adopt targeted reading during childhood, as this can greatly improve their comprehension abilities. So greater efforts should be put into designing a book classification system that meets the needs of young readers.8.

Many places around the world have terrible pollution problems. But now new research suggests that we might be able to protect ourselves, naturally and easily-simply by taking vitaminB.The study was conducted by a team of international researchers. Their focus was on a pollutant known as PM2.5. Its size, approximately 140th the width of a human hair, makes it particularly dangerous because it is readily inhaled and small enough to spread through the body via the blood. This can cause damage to the lungs if PM2.5 is being breathed in regularly.The current experiment involved subjects being exposed to clean air and a placebo(安慰剂)to record baseline responses. They were given the placebo for four weeks, then exposed through a face mask to air from a highly polluted area in downtown Toronto. The researchers measured methylation (甲基化) changes to DNA; the damage increased in each participant. However, in the repeated experiment, when the volunteers were given a vitamin supplement containing 1 milligram of vitamin B12, 50 mg of vitamin B6, and 2.5 mg of folic acid daily for four weeks, it reduced the damage to the DNA by a range of 28 to 76 percent.The results indicate how prevention at an individual level could be used to fight the armful effects of PM2.5. However, researchers stressed that research was in its early stages. Future studies, especially in heavily polluted areas, are urgently needed and they'll finally develop preventive measures using B vitamins to prevent the health effects of air pollution.12. What does the underlined word "inhaled" in Paragraph 1 refer to?A. breathedB. smeltC. approachedD. discovered13. How does the author introduce the current experiment?A. By analyzing causesB. By giving examplesC. By making comparisonsD. By describing effects14. What can we learn about the researchers in the last paragraph?A. They warned people of heavy pollution.B. They regretted not using enough volunteersC. they'll soon find more ways to test B vitaminsD. they'll confirm the findings in highly polluted areas15. What can be the best title of the text?A. PM2.5 Is Most DeadlyB. Vitamin B Benefits People MostC. Vitamin B Offers Air Pollution ProtectionD.

高台一中2017年秋学期高三年级第四次检测高三英语试卷第一部分：阅读理解（共两节，20 分）第一节（共 15 小题；每小题 2 分，共 30 分）阅读下列短文：从每题所给的 A、B、C、D 四个选项中，选出最佳选项，将正确的选项涂在答题卡上。
AThe giant water bodies like oceans,rivers, and lakes may seem attractive, but it is entirely different beneath and within them. So it’d be useful to inform you about the world’s most dangerous waters. If you’ve booked your trip to one of these places, it might be wise to change your plan.Fraser Island, AustraliaFraser Island is situated along the southern coast o f Queensland, Australia. It’s known to be the largest sand island globally. While the scene and waters surrounding Fraser Island look beautiful, it’s a prohibited zone, as the seas are home to loads of sharks and other dangerous creatures.Kilauea, Hawaii, USKilauea is a town located on the northeastern shore of Kauai, one of the eight islands of Hawaii. Hawaii is well-known for its beautiful beaches, rolling waves and pleasant weather. However, the place has many active volcanoes like Mount Kilauea. The b each is dangerous since it’s located close to active volcanoes.Victoria Falls, ZambiaThe Victoria Falls in the Zambia is a wonderful sight for it’s beauty, but is a dangerous place as well. There’s a natural pool called Devil’s Pool near the edge of the falls. The pool is a great spot for swimmers, but occasional deaths have taken place when people had slipped over the rock barrier. The huge cliff over which the falls move rapidly, changes the calm water into a violent stream.Recife, BrazilOver 100 shark attacks have occurred since 1931. Most of these attacks took placein a town of Brazil, called Recife, which has a beach, well-known for shark attacks. It was filled with swimmers and surfers, but that isn’t the case today, Today, the place is known to be one of the top 10 places with shark attacks in the world according to the International Shark Attack File.1.Who is the text intended for?A. PhotographersB. BiologistsC. TouristsD. Engineers2.Which two places have the same cause of their danger?A. Kilauea and RecifeB. Fraser Island and RecifeC. Kilauea and Victoria FallsD. Fraser Island and Victoria Falls3.What can we know about the waters mentioned in the text?A. They are appealing as well as dangerousB. They cause deaths on a yearly basis.C. They are located close to an island.D. They are deserted due to their danger.BRobert and Howard had always gotten along well. They’d worked on several projects together and considered each other friends. So when Robert discovered that Howard held a strategy meeting and hadn’t included him, he felt betrayed. He sent a text to Howard immediately: “I can’t believe you didn’t include me in that meeting!”Howard was in the middle of a client meeting when his phone received the new text. Stealing a look at his phone, he felt a mixture of things: concern, anger, embarrassment, frustration, defensiveness. The text distracted Howard, and his meeting didn’t go as well as he had hoped. His anger grew as he thought about the fact that in a meeting earlier that week, Robert didn’t support an idea Howard proposed to Jane, their CEO, though before the meeting Howard had said he liked the idea. So as soon as Howard stepped out of his client meeting, he sent a simple reply to Robert: “I can’t believe you left me hanging in our meeting with Jane.”Two little texts managed to upset a relationship that had been good for years. This brief but improper exchange can teach us a lot of things. For instance, don’t text when you’re angry, and don’t communicate in the middle of any strong negativefeeling.To make communicating efficient, you should start with thinking about the outcome you’re aiming for, and then respond in a way that will achieve that outcome. In Robert and Howard’s situation,the outcomes they wanted were very similar: to be connected, and to be supported. Yet their reactions to each other brought them the exact opposite. Actually, the rule here is simple: Don’t communicate just because you feel like it. Namely, they should co mmunicate when they both aren’t angry.4.Why did Robert send the text to Howard?A. Howard betrayed him at work.B. Howard held a meeting without inviting himC. Howard didn’t involve him in a project.D. Howard hid him from the truth5.What made Howard angrier?A. His meeting’s failure.B. His leader’s criticism.C. His friend’s negative textD. A previous unpleasant experience6. Why did Robert and Howard put an end to their friendship?A. They weren’t connected enoughB. They didn’t han dle issues calmlyC. They were misled by someone else.D. They had a negative attitude towards life.7. What is the text focused on?A. The end of two close persons’ friendshipB. The effects of negative emotions on friendship.C. Lessons from t wo persons’ failing relationship.D. Ways to overcome ineffective communications.CBrain tests at the age of three appear to predict a child's future chance of success in life, say researchers. Low cognitive(认知的)test scores for skills like language indicate less developed brains, possibly caused by too little stimulation(激励inearly life. These youngsters are more likely to become criminals, dependent on welfare or having long-lasting illness unless they are given support later on. Their study in New Zealand appears in the journal, Nature Human Behavior.The US researchers from Duke University say the findings highlight the importance of early life experiences and necessity to support disadvantaged youngsters. Although the study followed people in New Zealand, the investigators believe that the results could apply to other countries.They followed the lives of more than 1,000 children. Those who had low test scores for language, behavioral movement and cognitive skills at three years old went on to account for more than 80% of crimes, required 78% of prescriptions and received 66% of social welfare payments in adulthood.It is known that disadvantaged people use a greater share of services. While many of the children in the study who were behind in brain development came from disadvantaged backgrounds, poverty was not the only link with poor futures.When the researchers took out children below the poverty line in a separate analysis, they found that a similar proportion(比例） of middle class children who scored low in tests when they were three also went on to experience difficulties when they were older.8. According to Paragraph 1, the youngsters with low cognitive test scores ___________.A. will have developed brains laterB. will probably depend on welfare unless supportedC. are less likely to become criminalsD. have no stimulation in their criminals9. The underlined word “highlight” in Paragraph 2 probably means “________”A.realizeB. stressC. brightenD. lighten10. From the text, we can infer that ____________.A. the children in New Zealand have low test scoresB. disadvantaged people have little access to publicC. not all poor futures result from povertyD. one’s success in life is determined by early test scor es11. What could be the best title for the text?A. The success and the experienceB. Ways to predict a child’s future chance of successC.. The importance of family backgroundsD. Brain tests can predict children’s futuresDMost American students go to traditional public schools. There are about 88, 000 public schools all over the US. Some students attend about 3000 independent public schools called charter schools.Charter schools are self-governing. Private companies operate some charter schools. They are similar in some ways to traditional public schools. They receive tax money just as other public schools do. Charter schools must prove to local or state governments that their students are learning. These governments provide the schools with the agreement called a charter that permits them to operate.Charter schools are different because they do not have to obey most laws that govern traditional public schools. Local state, or federal governments cannot tell them what to teach. Each school can choose its own goals and decide what to teach and how to teach them in their own way. Class size is usually smaller than in traditional public schools.The Federal government strongly supports charter schools as a way to re-organize public schools, which are failing to educate students. But some education agencies and unions are against charter schools. One teachers’ union has just released the results of the first national study, which compared the progress of students in both traditional schools and charter schools.The American Federation of Teachers criticized the government's delay in releasing the results of the study, which is called the National Assessment of Educational Progress. Union education experts say the study shows that charter school students performed worse on math and reading tests than students in regular public schools.Some experts say the study is not fair because students in charter schools have more problems than students in traditional schools. Other education experts say the study results would make charter school officials realize that they should help their students make greater progress.12. Which of the following suggests charter schools are independent?A. They make greater progressB. They enjoy more freedomC. Their class size is smaller.D. They oppose traditional ways13. What’ s the government’ s attitude toward charter schools?A. Doubtful.B. Supportive. D. Satisfied. D. Unclear.14. What can we learn from the text?A. More students choose to attend charter schools.B. Charter schools are better than traditional schools.C. Students in charter schools are well educated.D. People have different opinions about charter schools.15. It can be inferred from the text that ___________.A. charter schools are all privately financedB. the number of charter schools will be limitedC. one-on-one attention should be paid to studentsD. charter schools are part of the public education system第二节（共 5 小题；每小题 2 分。
