Storytelling in the forest and seeing dinosaur eggs.BNot long ago, I tried convincing my three daughters that the world’s secrets are hidden inside silence. The girls looked at me skeptically. Surely silence is nothing?Sitting there at the dinner table, I suddenly remembered their curiosity as children, their wondering about what might be hiding behind a door and their amazement as they stared at a light switch and asked me to “open the light”. But now they are 13, 16 and 19 and wonder less and less. If they still wonder at anything, they quickly pull out their smart phones to find the answer. None of them have any interest in discussing with me. To attract their attention, I told them about two friends of mine who had decided to climb Mount Qomolangma.Early one morning they left base camp to climb the south-west wall of the mountain. It was going well. Both reached the summit, but then came the storm. They soon realized they would not make it down alive. The first got hold of his pregnant wife by satellite phone. Together they decided on the name of the child that she was carrying. Then he quietly passed away just below the summit. My other friendwas not able to contact anyone before he died. No one knows exactly what happened on the mountain in those hours. Thanks to the dry, cool climate 8km above sea level, they have both been freeze-dried. They lie there in silence, looking no different.The girls remained quiet, listening. It seemed as though they had got something.It is easy to assume that the essence (本质) of technology is technology itself, but that is wrong. The essence is the time we spend with our family and how much freedom we have by technology.4. What’s the real purpose of the author’s telling the story?A. To entertain the girls.B. To attract the girls’ attention to technology.C. To encourage the girls to explore the world’s secret.D. To share a viewpoint about the essence of technology.5. Why are the girls unwilling to discuss problems with the author when they are puzzled?A. Because they don’t want to solve them.B. Because they can turn to the smart phone.C. Because they feel ashamed for their problems.D. Because they think it difficult to talk with others.6. How would the author think of the outcome of the storytelling?A. It s effective.B. It s unacceptable.C. It’s embarrassing.D. It s discouraging.7. What does technology really bring us according to the text?A. The time with our family and freedom.B. The answers to the puzzling problems.C. The information of learning the outside world.D. The choice of communicating with our friends.CWe all have different ways to navigate (导航) when lost-whether asking a stranger for help, consulting an old-school map or simply following our nose. But on a bike, the risks are higher. One wrong turn or that you’re in a traffic jamwith two lanes between your bike and the nearest pavement may ruin your good mood. Although cyclists, of course, managed to navigate before smart phones, cyclists can make two choices: a few stay calm and embrace getting lost, and the rest turn to a navigation app.Google Maps added a directions function for cyclists in 2015 in the US and Canada, and two years later across Europe. And while there are dozens of other apps now offering a similar service, Google Maps has the demerits for many, so the app seems to be falling behind expectations.As someone with no sense of direction, I knew it wouldn’t be easy when I started cycling earlier this year. I appreciated that the app gave me two warnings before I needed to turn off a road, and automatically recalculated my route if I accidentally went off course. But still, it wasn’t a smooth process. Google Maps thought I could cut across a double carriageway with no breaks in its barrier, assumed I knew what it meant when it told me to “head west”, and thought nothing of taking me the wron g way down a busy one-way street.Cyclists don’t just want safety-they want convenience. Londoner Robson Smith regularly cycles between Clap ham and the City of London and would like to see Google Maps calculate routes where his bike is allowed on public transport and more choice of the type of routes he can take. “G oogle tends to calculate the most common and comfortable cycle routes. It would be better to have an option which included the fastest route, regardless of comfort,” he says.For this reason, Robson says he uses the app Cycle Streets instead. It offers a choice of four different route modes, based on the type the user wants, and saves previous routes. It also tells you how many calories a route burns, how many traffic lights you will encounter, and how busy it is.8. What higher risks may happen to cyclists according to Paragraph 1?A. Losing the way to their destinations.B. Making wrong plans about the directions.C. Staying still in the same place for a long time.D. Taking wrong turn or being caught in a traffic jam.9. What does the underlined word “demerits” in Paragraph 2 mean?A. Defence.B. Existence.C. Shortcomings.D. Techniques.10. What’s Robson’s opinion on Google Maps?A. It needs improving.B. It is difficult to operate.C. It can provide convenient courses.D. It offers the most common and fastest route.11. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A. The Different Apps in NavigationB. The Rise and Fall of Google MapsC. The Disadvantages of Google MapsD. Planning the Future of Google MapsDFor many of us, talking about money is embarrassing, especially revealing our income and spending habits in public. So it’s no wonder that seeking investment advice from computer program is so popular.Consultancy firm Accenture found that 68% of global consumers would be happy to use robot-advice to plan for retirement, feeling it would be faster, cheaper, and fairer than human advice. “Many of our customers say they feel awkward in face-to-face meetings, preferring an online experience where they don’t feel nervous,” says Lynn Smith, a director of robot-advice firm Wealth Wizards. So how does robot-advice work and is it really any better than traditional financial advice?Robot-adviser firms use algorithms (算法) to analyse your financial situation and goals and then work out an investment plan to suit you. Basically, you answer lots of questions online about your income, expenses, family situation, attitude to risk and so on, and then the algorithm allocates (分配) your savings to a series of investments, from index funds that aim to imitate a particular stock market index or sector, to fixed-income bonds.Robot-advice is certainly growing in popularity. But are we really happy to give up the human adviser comp letely? “No” is the short answer. Accenture finds that a significant proportion of us still want human interaction, particularly when our finances are complex. “When a customer needs advice surpassing a number ofdifferent regulatory regimes, human advice will be required,” says John Perks, managing director of life and pensions at UK insurer LV, which launched its Retirement Wizard robot-advice service two years ago.The truth is that only about a quarter of funds managed by clever humans overcome the market as a whole, so when you take into account the much higher management fees you pay for that kind of service, the performance difference is likely to be marginal (微不足道的) for most of us.The robots may be coming, but in this case at least, they seem to be on the side of the small investor trying to save for a comfortable retirement.12. What do we know about the robot-advice from the second paragraph?A. It s expensive but accurate.B. It’s beneficial and relaxing.C. It’s complex but fair.D. It’s suitable for all.13. If you want to use robot-advice, you should first .A. consult human adviceB. work out an investment planC. answer lots of questions onlineD. analyse your financial situation14. What does the underlined phrase “that kind of service” in Paragraph 5 refer to?A. The allocation of retirement.B. The robot-advice service.C. Human fund management.D. The performance difference.15. Why do we still need the human adviser according to the text?A. Because some clients face retirementB. Because some finances are complex.C. Because human interaction is necessary.D. Because the human adviser offers better service.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。

McCain. Sen. McCain fought long and hard in this campaign. And he's fought even longer and harder for the country that he loves. He has endured sacrifices for America that most of us cannot begin to imagine. We are better off for the service rendered by this brave and selfless leader.I congratulate him; I congratulate Gov. Palin for all that they've achieved. And I look forward to working with them to renew this nation's promise in the months ahead.I want to thank my partner in this journey, a man who campaigned from his heart, and spoke for the men and women he grew up with on the streets of Scranton and rode with on the train home to Delaware, the vice president-elect of the United States, Joe Biden.And I would not be standing here tonight without the unyielding support of my best friend for the last 16 years the rock of our family, the love of my life, the nation's next first lady Michelle Obama.Sasha and Malia I love you both more than you can imagine.

I am grateful to them.And to my campaign manager, David Plouffe, the unsung hero of this campaign, who built the best -- the best political campaign, I think, in the history of the United States of America.To my chief strategist David Axelrod who's been a partner with me every step of the way.To the best campaign team ever assembled in the history of politics you made this happen, and I am forever grateful for what you've sacrificed to get it done.

Two text messages later, you’re eating pizza and watching action movies with three guy friends. Perfect.“Guy friends” have the potential to enrich your life in ways that female friends and boyfriends just can’t. For starters, they provide an insider’s perspective on how men think, feel and behave. When dealing with male relatives, coworkers and even boyfriends, another man’s point of view can be incredibly useful. Three hours spent analyzing a situation in a café with your girlfriends can’t compete with a quick chat to a guy friend.Many women find that time spent with male friends can be a liberating and somewhat refreshing break from spending time with the girls. Without the judgmental gaze of other females, there is less pressure to dress up and compete for attention. Traditionally, girl-guy friendships are seen as hard to maintain. Most relationships between males and females that we come across in our day-to-day lives, whether in movies or books, are romantic by nature. These cultural images make girl-guy friendships seem impossible.Yet in reality, as gender roles loosen and equality becomes a norm in the workplace,it has become much more common for platonic friendships to blossom.“The belief that men and women can’t be friends comes from another era in which women were at home and men were in the workplace, and the only way they could get together was for romance,” explains psychologist Linda Sapadin to Psychology Today magazine. “Now they work together and share sports interests and socialize together.”“My boyfriend has met all of my guy friends so he’s qu ite accepting of me hanging out with them,” says Nellie. “Because we’ve been dating so long, there’s a level of trust where he knows I will make the right decision when choosing who to be friends with.“He understands that the kind of time that I spend dif fers between guys and girls. When I’m out with the girls, we’re gossiping or talking about clothes but when I’m spending time with the guys, it’s different. I think their carefree and ‘whatever goes’ attitude can sometimes be exactly what I need.”40. What is the best title of the passage?A. Platonic friendship can be fun and liberating.B. Platonic friendship can take the place of boy-or-girl friendship.C. Man friendship is far more exciting than woman friendship.D. Both man friendship and woman friendship are necessary for girls.41. In writer’s opinion, girl-guy friendships_________A. are hard to maintain in modern society.B. are impossible for most boys and girls.C. are quite reasonable and thought highly of by most people.D. are quite interesting and accepted by more and more and more girls.42. Why did people think men and women can’t be friends in the past?A. Because men were at home and women were in the workplace.B. Because both men and women are too shy to make friends.C. Because they were hard to keep in touch and only by marrying can they stay in touch with each other.D. Because women were at home and men were in the workplace, and the only way they could get together was for friendship.43. According to what Nellie said, _______A. Her boyfriend enjoys she and her guy friend stay together.B. When I’m out with the boys, we’re not gossiping or talking about clothes.C. Sometimes what my guy friends give is just what I need.D. My boyfriend trusts me so he accepts my decision.CThe hottest show this summer---"the Voice" just finished on Sunday at the Shanghai Stadium. But the show that had a good start didn’t end to everyone’s satisfaction. The two and a half hour show dragged on for more than four hours because of the huge amount of advertising, which the audience and residents living nearby could hardly bear.This summer, something hotter than the weather came to Shanghai. That is the Voice of China. The show soon became a cash cow for the organizer as the advertisement prices reached 1.16 million yuan for 15 seconds. And the show has earned more than 100 million yuan up to now in ad income only,But the organizers’ bliss was audiences’melancholy.In the final live show on Sunday, about 14 rounds of advertisements were aired, each of which came at a crucial result-announcing moment.Frequently interrupted by advertisements, some live audience members complained that the show wasn’t worth its ticket prices of 180 to 1680 yuan.The planned two and a half hour show went two hours overtime because of the advertising. This annoyed audience members, and touched the nerves of residents living near the site.Someone called the police, and the show is now facing punishment for going over-time and disturbing residents late at night.44. Why didn’t “the Voice” make audience satisfied?A. Because it had a good start but it failed to attract audience’ attention in the end.B. Because it had a good start but it failed to make audience satisfied.C. Because it increased by one and a half hour and audience could bear it.D. Because it was full of so many advisements that audience can’t tolerate it.45. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?A. The show lasted for over four hours.B. The show has earned more than 100 million yuan up to now totally.C. The show wasn’t worth its ticket prices because of many advertisements.D. Someone called the police because he can’t bear the noises late at night.46. What does the underlined word “melancholy”in the third paragraph mean?A. enthusiasmB. crazinessC. sorrowD. romance47. Which of the following can best serve as the title of the passage?A. The Voice of China---the most popular TV show of last summer.B. The Voice of China---hard to say I love you.C. The Voice of China---I want you.D. The Voice of China---the noises of China.DIn a few states where racial prejudice is serious, violence has so come to be taken for granted as a means of solving differences, that it is not even questioned. There are states where the white man imposes his rule by force; there are states where the black man protests by setting fire to cities and by looting and pillaging. Important people on both sides, who would in other respects appear to be reasonable men, get up and calmly argue in favor of violence – as if it were a legitimate solution, like any other. What is really frightening, what really fills you with despair, is the realization that when it comes to the crunch, we have made no actual progress at all. We may wear collars and ties instead of war-paint, but our instinctsremain basically unchanged. The whole of the recorded history of the human race, that tedious documentation of violence, has taught us absolutely nothing. We have still not learnt that violence never solves a problem but makes it more serious. The sheer horror, the bloodshed, the suffering mean nothing. No solution ever comes to light the morning after when we dismally contemplate the smoking ruins and wonder what hit us.The truly reasonable men who know where the solutions lie are finding it harder and harder to get a hearing. They are despised, mistrusted and even persecuted by their own kind because they advocate such apparently outrageous things as law enforcement. If half the energy that goes into violent acts were put to good use, if our efforts were directed at cleaning up the shabby houses at improving living-standards and providing education and employment for all, we would have gone a long way to arriving at a solution. Our strength is weakened by having to mop up the mess that violence leaves in its wake. In a well-directed effort, it would not be impossible to fulfill the ideals of a stable social programme. The benefits that can be derived from constructive solutions are everywhere apparent in the world around us. Genuine and lasting solutions are always possible, providing we work within the framework of the law.Before we can even begin to reflect on peaceful co-existence between the races, we must appreciate each other's problems. And to do this, we must learn about them: it is a simple exercise in communication, in exchanging information. "Talk, talk, talk," the advocates of violence say, "all you ever do is talk, and we are none the wiser." It's rather like the story of the famous lawyer who carefully explained his case to the judge. After listening to a lengthy argument the judge complained that after all this talk, he was none the wiser. "Possible, my lord," the lawyer replied, "none the wiser, but surely far better informed." Knowledge is the necessary prerequisite to wisdom: the knowledge that violence creates the evils it pretends to solve.48. What is the best title for this passage?A. Advocating Violence.B. Violence Can Do Nothing to Reduce Race Prejudice.C. Important People on Both Sides See Violence As a Legitimate Solution.D. The Instincts of Human Race Are Thirsty for Violence.49. Recorded history has taught usA. violence never solves anything.B. nothing.C. the bloodshed means nothing.D. everything.50. According the author the best way to solve race prejudice isA. law enforcement.B. knowledge.C. nonviolence.D. Mopping up the violent mess.四. 七选五（共5小题，每小题2分，共10分）(51) ____You probably think you will never be a top student. This is not necessarily so, however. Anyone can become a better student if he or she wants to. Here’s how. Plan your time carefully.When planning your work, you should make a list of things that you have to do. After making this list, you should make a schedule of your time. First your time for eating, sleeping, dressing, etc. Then decide a good, regular time for studying.(52)____ A weekly schedule may not solve all your problems, but it will force you realize what is happening to your time.Find a good place to study. Look around the house for a good study area. Keep this space, which may be a desk or simply a corner of your room, free of everything but study materials. No games, radios, or television. When you sit down to study, concentrate on the subject.Make good use of your time in class. (53)____ Listening carefully in class means less work later. Taking notes will help you remember what the teacher says. Study regularly. When you get home from school, go over your notes.Review the important points that your teacher has mentioned in class. If you know what your teacher is going to discuss the next day, read that material. (54)_____ If you do these things regularly, the material will become more meaningful, and you’ll remember it longer.Develop a good attitude towards tests. The purpose of a test is to show what you have learned about a subject. They help you remember your new knowledge. The world won’t end if you don’t pass a test, so don’t be over worried.(55)____ You will probably discover them after you have tried these.A.

Firstly, technology has made education more accessible. With online courses and digital libraries, students can learn anytime and anywhere, breaking the limitations of traditional classroom settings. Secondly, technology enhances the efficiency of learning. Tools like educational software and apps can personalize learning experiences, catering to individual learning styles and paces. Moreover, technology facilitates collaboration. Students can work together on projects using cloud-based platforms, regardless of their physical locations.However, the integration of technology in education also presents challenges. It requires continuous professional development for teachers to keep up with the latest educational technologies. Additionally, not all students have equal access to technological resources, which can exacerbate educational inequality.In conclusion, while technology brings numerous benefits to modern education, it is crucial to address the associated challenges to ensure that it serves as a tool for equitable and effective learning.。

Do you feel nervous before a test? Many students say that a lack of concentration is their biggest problem. It has bad effects on their ability to study, so do their test results.If so, use these tips to help you.Study TechniquesYou should always study in the s ame place. You shouldn’t sit in a position that you use for another purpose. For example, when you sit on a sofa to study, your brain wi ll think it is time to relax. Don’t watch TV while you are studying. Experts warn that your concentration may be reduced by 50 percent if you attempt to study in this way. Always try to have a white wall in front of you, so there is nothing to distract (make less concentrated) you. Before sitting down to study, gather together all the equipment you need. Apart from your textbooks, pens, pencils and knives, make sure you have a dictionary. If your study desk or table is needed when you are not studying, store all your equipment in a box beside it.Your eyes will become tired if you try to read a text which is on a flat surface. Position your book at an angle of 30 degrees.Be realistic and don’t try to complete too much in one study period. Finish one thing before beginning another. If you need a break, get up and walk around for a few minutes, but try not to telephone a friend or have something to eat.Test-taking SkillsAll your hard work will be for nothing if you are too nervous to take your test. Getting plenty of rest is very important. This means do not study all night before your test! It is a better idea to have a long-term study plan. Try to make a timetable for your study which lasts a few months.Exercise is a great way to reduce pressure. Doing some form of exercise every day will also improve your concentration. Eat healthy food too.When you arrive in the examination room, find your seat and sit down. Breathe slowly and deeply. Check the time on the clock during the test, but not too often. Above all, take no notice of everyone else and give the test paper your undivided attention.41. Which of the following statements is true ac cording to the passage?A. You should study in a different place every day, so you don’t get bored.B. Your concentration will improve if you study and watch TV at the same time.C. Check the time during the exam at a certain time.D.Staying up all night is tiring, but you will learn a lot using this method.42. What does the underlined word “it” refer to?A. Your study desk or table.B. Your textbook.C. Your dictionary.D. The equipment you need.43. What can be inferred from the passage?A. You shouldn’t look at everyone else during the test.B.You will have enough energy to deal with and concentrate on your study and examsbetter by eating healthy diet.C. You’ll concentrate more if there is nothing to distract you.D. If you need a break during study, you can walk around for a few minutes.2.There was a story many years ago of a school teacher—Mrs.Thompson. She told the children on the first day that she loved them all the same. But that was a lie. There in the front row was a little boy named Teddy Stoddard. He didn’t play well with the other children and he always needed a bath. She d id not like him.Then Mrs.Thompson got to know that Teddy was actually a very good boy before the death of his mother. Mrs.Thompson was ashamed of herself. She felt even worse when, like all her other students,Teddy brought her a Christmas present too. It was his mother’s perfume(香水)Teddy said,“Mrs.Thompson, today you smell just like my Mom used to.”After the children left , she cri ed for at least an hour. On that very day, she stopped teaching reading, writing and math. Instead, she began to teach children.Mrs.Thompson p aid particular attention to Teddy. The boy’s mind seemed to come alive.The more she encouraged him, the faster he improved. By the end of the sixth grade,Teddy had become one of the smartest children in the class.Six years went by before she got a note from Teddy. He wrote that he had finished high school and she was still the best teacher he ever had in his whole life. He went to college. Mrs.Thompson got two more letters from him with the last one signed: Theodore Stoddard,M.D.(医学博士).The story doesn’t end there. On his wedding day, Dr.Stoddard whispered in Mrs.Thompson’s ear,“Thank you, Mrs.Thompson, for believing in me.You made me feel important and showed me that I could make a difference.”Mrs.Thompson, with tears in her eyes, whispe red back,“Teddy, you have it all wrong.You were the one whotaught me that I could make a difference. I didn’t know how to teach until I met you.”44.What did Mrs.Thompson do on the first day of school?A.She made Teddy feel ashamed.B.She asked the children to play with Teddy.C.She changed Teddy’s seat to the front row.D.She told the class something untrue about herself.45.What did Mrs.Thompson find out about Teddy?A.He often told lies.B.He was good at math.C.He needed care from mother or someone like that.D.He enjoyed playing with others.46.In what way did Mrs.Thompson change after she received the gifts?A.She taught fewer school subjects.B.She became stricter with her students.C.She no longer liked her job as a teacher.D.She cared more about educating students.47.Why did Teddy thank Mrs.Thompson at his wedding?A.She had kept in touch with him.B.She had given him encouragement.C.She had sent him Christmas presents.D.She had taught him how to judge people.3.I know what you’re thinking : Pizza? For breakfast? But the truth is that you can have last night’s leftovers with it in the morning, if you want to.I know lots of women who skip breakfast , and they have a ton of different excuses for doing it . Some say they don’t have time. Others think they’re “saving” calories （卡路里）, still others say they just don’t like breakfast food .But the fact is that eating in the morning is very important when you’re trying to lose weight. “Eating anything from 300 to 400 calories would be better than no thing at all,” says Katherine Brooking , who developed the super-easy eating pla n for this year’s “SELF CHALLENGE”. And even pizza can be healthy if it’s loaded with vegetables, as long as you stick to only one small piece.Breakfast is one meal I never miss, and the same goes for most weight loss success stories. Research shows that eating breakfast keeps you from overeating later in the day. Researchers at the University of Southern California found that breakfast skippers have a bigger chance of gaining weight than those who regularly have a morning meal.So eat something in the morning, anything. I know plenty of friends who end up having no breakfast, or the y just have coffee or orange juice. I say, try heating up last night’s leftovers . It may sound crazy, but if it works for you, do it! I find if I tell myself, “You can always eat it tomorrow,” I put away the leftovers instead of eating more that night. Try it, and you may save yourself some pre-bedtime calories. And you will watch your body gain the fat-burning effects.48. The underlined word “leftovers” in Paragraph 1 probably means__________.A.food remaining after a mealB. breakfastC. meals made of vegetablesD. pizza with fruit49. What can we infer from the text?A. Working women usually have breakfast in a hurry.B. Many people have wrong ideas about breakfast.C. If we have pizza loaded with vegetables, we will certainly not gain weight.D. Eating vegetables helps us to save energy.50. According to the last paragraph, it is important to____________.A. eat something for breakfastB. be careful about what you eatC. heat up food before eating itD. eat calorie-controlled food51. The text is written mainly for those_____________.A. who go to work earlyB. who want to lose weightC. who stay up lateD. who eat before sleep4.How I Turned to Be Optimistic（乐观的）I began to grow up that winter night when my parents and I were returning from my aunt’s house, and my mother said that we might soon be leaving for America. We were on the bus then, I was crying, and some people on the bus were turning around to look at me. I remember that I could not bear the thought of never hearing again the radio program for school children to which I listened every morning.I do not remember myself crying for this reason again. In fact I think I cried very little when I was saying goodbye to my friends and relatives. When we were leaving I thought about all the places I was going to see—the strange and magical places I had known only from books and pictures. The country I was leaving never to come back was hardly in my head then.The four years that followed taught me the impo rtance of optimism, but the idea did not come to me at once. For the first two years in New York I was really lost—having to study in three schools as a result of family moves. I did not quite know what I was or what I should be. Mother remarried, and things became even more complex for me. Some time passed before my stepfather and I got used to each other. I was often sad, and saw no end to “the hard times”My responsibilities in the family increased a lot since I knew English better than everyone else at home. I wrote letters, filled out forms, translated at interviews with Immigration officers, took my grandparents to the doctor and translated there, and even discussed telephone bills with company representatives.From my experiences I have learned one important rule: all common troubles eventually go away! Somethinggood is certain to h appen in the end when you do not give up, and just wait a little! I believe that my life will turn out all right, even though it will not be that easy.52. How did the author get to know America?A. From her relatives.B. Form her mother.C. Form books and pictures.D. From radio programs.53. Upon leaving for America the author felt________.A. confusedB. excitedC. worriedD. amazed54. What can we learn about the author from Paragraph 4 ?A. She worked as a translatorB. She attended a lot of job interviews.C. She paid telephone bills for her family.D. She helped her family with her English.55. The author believes that___________.A. her future will be free from troublesB. it is difficult to become patientC. there are more good things than bad thingsD. good things will happen if one keeps trying5.NOT all memories are sweet. Some people spend all their lives trying to forget badmemories. Violence and traffic accidents can leave people with terrible physical and emotional scars.Now American researchers think they are close to developing a pill, which will help people forget bad memories. The pill is designed to be taken immediately after a scary events. They hope it might reduce ,or possibly erase,the effect of painful memories.In November, experts tes ted a drug on people in the US and France. The drug stops the body producing chemicals that fix memories in the brain. So far the research has suggested that only the emotional effects of memories may be reduced, not that the memories are erased.The research has caused a great deal of argument. Some think it is a bad idea, while others support it. Supporters say it could lead to pills that prevent or treat soldiers' troubling memories after war. They say that there are many people who suffer from terrible memories."Some memories can ruin people's lives . They come back to you when you don't want to have them in a daydream or nightmare. They usually come with very painful emotions," said Roger Pitman.But those who are against the research say that changing memories is very dangerous because memories make us different from others. They also help us all avoid the mistakes of the past."All of us can think of bad events in our lives that were horrible at the time but make us who we are. I'm not sure whether we want to wipe those memories out, "said Rebecca Dresser, a medical ethicist.56.What does the underlined word “erase” mean?A. change B remove C add D forgive57. The passage is mainly about ________ .A. a new medical inventionB. a new research on the pillC. a way of erasing painful memoriesD. the argument about the research on the pill58. The drug tested on people can ___________ .A. cause the brain to fix memoriesB. stop people remembering bad eventsC. prevent body producing certain chemicalsD. wipe out the bad memories59. Which of the following statements is TRUE? .A. Some people doubt whether the pills should be used to help people forget bad memories.B. the pill will stop people's bad memories.C. taking the pill will do harm to people's healthD. the pill has been produced in America60. Which of the following does Rebecca Dresser agree with?A. Some memories can ruin people's lives.B. People want to get rid of bad memories.C. Having bad events makes us different from others.D. The pill will reduce people's sufferings from bad memories五、单词拼写第Ⅱ卷（共55 分）VI．补全单词(共10小题;每小题1分,满分10分)66. When you are making big decisions, it is important to get __________（支持）from your family.67.

I don’t think so. “Health is the greates t wealth.” wise people say. You can’t be good at your studies or work well when you are ill.If you have a headache, toothache, backache, earache or bad pain in the stomac h, if you complain of a bad cough, if you run a high temperature and have a bad cold, or if you suffer from high or low blood pressure, I think you should go to the doctor.The doctor will examine your throat, feel your pulse, test your blood pres sure, take your temperature, sound your heart and lungs, test your eyes, check your tee th or have your chest X-rayed. After that he will advise some treatment, or some medi cine. The only thing you have to do is to follow his advice.Speaking about doctor’s ad vice, I can’t help telling you a funny story.An old gentleman came to see the doctor. The man was very ill. He told the doctor ab out his weakness, memory loss and serious problems with his heart and lungs. The do ctor examined him and said there was no medicine for hisdisease. He told his patient to go to a quiet place for a month and have a goodrest. He also advised him to eat a lot of meat, drink two glasses of red wineevery day and take long walks. In other words, the doctor advised him tofollow the rule: “Eat at pleasure, drink with measure and enjoy life as it is.” The docto r also said that if the man wanted to be well again, he shouldn’t smoke more than one cigarette a day.A month later the gentleman came into the doctor’s office. He looked c heerful and happy. He thanked the doctorand said that he had never felt a healthier man.“ But you know, doctor,” he said, “it’s not easy to begin smoking at my age.”【小题1】The writer thinks that_____.

This means that there is a lot that can go wrong when you run.Most sports have some kind of running or jumping. So experts（专家） at many shoe companies work hard to design good sport shoes. First, a designer enters a plan for a shoe into a computer. Engineers then improve the design. A second computer designs a model for the shoe. Then a few pairs are made. Next, the shoe is tested.Different kinds of sports shoes are made for different uses. Some are made to help marathon runners save energy during a race. Some are made for the stop-and-go kind of running tennis players. But all sport shoes have one thing in common: they are designed to help people’s feet comfortable during sports. Today, nearly every sport has its own special shoe designed for just the kind of running that sport requires.【小题1】The first in making a new shoe is to ______.A．make a computerB．design a shoe modelC．test several pairsD．put a design plan into a computer【小题2】Why are good sport shoes welcome to people?A．Because they help to change body weight.B．Because they help to develop leg muscles.C．Because they are both good and cheap.D．Because they are comfortable to wear.【小题3】What is NOT talked about in the passage?A．The number of the bones of a human muscle.B．The effect of shoes upon sports.C．The materials （材料）of sport shoes.D．The design for a shoe model.【小题4】Different kinds of sport shoes _______.A．are designed for people of the different weight.B．meet the needs of different sportsmen.C．are made in different shoe companies.D．are of the same price.21.I am really upset about tomorrow’s exam.

The king was very angry.One day the king said to the bad minister , “Write two words on two pieces of paper. Write ‘live’ on one piece and ‘die’ on the other . Then put them in a jar and tell him to choose. If he takes out the paper with ‘live’ on it , I will let him go. If he takes out the paper with ‘die’ on it ,I will kill him at once.”The bad minister was quite happy. He got two pieces of paper ready. He wrote “die” on each piece of paper.The kind old man came. He knew the bad minister wanted to kill him. He also knew the words on the two pieces both “die”, but he knew what to do. Later the king had to keep his word and let the old minister go. Do you k now what the kind man do about this at that time?【小题1】The king was angry with .A．himselfB．the kind ministerC．the bad ministerD．the two ministers【小题2】was told to write “live” and “die”.A．The kingB．The kind ministerC．The bad ministerD．The two ministers【小题3】There is no “live” on both pieces of paper because .A．the kind minister didn’t want it.B．the bad minister couldn’t write the wordC．the king told the bad minister not to write itD．the bad minister hated the kind minister and wanted to kill him【小题4】 must be disappointed in the end .A．The kingB．The kind ministerC．The bad ministerD．All the other ministers24.To me, life without music would not be exciting. I realize that this is not true for everybody. Many people get along quite well without going to the concert, and listening to the record. But music plays an important part in everyone's life, whether he realizes it or not. Try to imagine, for example, what films or TV plays would be like without music. Would the feelings, the moving plot, and the greatest interests, be so exciting or dramatic? I'm not sure about it.Now, we have been speaking of music in its more common meaning—the kind of music we hear in the concert hall. But if we look at some parts of music more closely, we discover them in our everyday life too—in the rhythm of the sea, themelodyof a bird in the woods and so on. So music surely has meaning for everyone, in some way or other. And, of course, it has special meaning for those who have spent all their lives working on playing or writing music.It is well said, “Through music a child enters into a world of beauty, e xpresses himself from his heart, feels the joy of doing things alone, learns to take care of others, develops his mind and makes his body strong.”【小题1】What dose the writer say more about in the text?A．Life full of music.B．Life without music.C．The importance of music.D．The development of music.【小题2】What does the underlined word “melody” mean in the text?A．flyingB．lookingC．singingD．living【小题3】From the last paragraph, we learn that music________.A．is very important, especially for childrenB．is very necessary for our everyday lifeC．can make our life exciting and dramaticD．can enter into another beautiful world25.It isn’t an excuse for your failure ___________ you didn’t know the rules A．ThatB．BecauseC．WhyD．How第1卷参考答案一.参考题库1.参考答案：C试题分析：考查固定搭配。

一、高中英语阅读理解1．阅读理解Artificial intelligence can predict when patients with a heart disorder will die, according to scientists.The software learned to analyze blood tests and scans of beating hearts to spot signs that the organ was about to fail. The team, from the UK's Medical Research Council, said the technology could save lives by finding patients that need more aggressive treatment. The results were published in the Journal of Radiology.According to the researchers, high blood pressure in the lungs damages part of the heart, and about a third of patients die within five years after being diagnosed. There are treatments: drugs, injections straight into the blood vessels, a lung transplant. But doctors need to have an idea of how long patients might have left, in order to pick the right treatment.The software was given scans of 256 patients' hearts, and blood test results. When this data was combined with eight years of patient health records, the artificial intelligence predicted when patients would die.The software could look about five years into the future. It correctly predicted those who would still be alive after one year about 80% of the time. The figure for doctors is 60%.The team now want to test the software works in other patients in different hospitals before assessing whether it should be made widely available to doctors. The researchers also want to use the technology in other forms of heart failure, such as cardiomyopathy, to see who might need a pacemaker or other forms of treatment.Dr Mike Knapton, from the British Heart Foundation, said, "This exciting use of computer software in medical practice will help doctors in the future to make sure that patients are receiving the correct treatment before the condition deteriorates and leaves them needing a lung transplant. The next step is to test this technology in more hospitals with heart disease."（1）What can artificial intelligence do according to the passage?A. Predicting how long a person with heart disease can survive.B. Helping doctors diagnose people with heart disease.C. Obeying orders and reminding heart disease patients to take pills.D.

甘肃高二高中英语期中考试带答案解析
甘肃高二高中英语期中考试班级:___________ 姓名：___________ 分数：___________一、阅读理解1.For years scientists have been worried about the effects of air pollution on the earth’s natural conditions. Some believe the air inside many houses may be more dangerous than the air outside. It may be one hundred times worse.Indoor air pollution can cause a person to feel tired, to suffer eye pain, headache and other problems. Some pollutants（污染物）can cause breathing disorders, diseases of blood and even cancer. Most scientists agree that every modern house has some kind of indoor pollution.People have paid more attention to the problem now. It is true that when builders began making houses and offices they did not waste energy. To do this they build buildings that limited the flow of air between inside and outside. They also began using man-made building materials. These materials are now known to let out harmful gases.As the problem became more serious, scientists began searching for a way to deal with it. They discovered a natural pollution control system for building—green plants. Scientists do not really know how plants control air pollution. They believe that a plant’s leaves absorb（吸收）or take in the pollutants. In exchange the plant lets out oxygen through its leaves and tiny organizations on its roots. Scientists suggest that all buildings should have one large plant or several small plants inside for every nine square meters of space. Studies of different plants show that each absorbs different chemicals. So the most effective way to clean the air is to use different kinds of plants. Having green plants inside your house can make it a prettier and healthier place.【1】Generally speaking, indoor air pollution may be more harmful than the air outside because .A．indoor air pollution can often make people seriously illB．man-made building materials give off dangerous gasesC．there may be more harmful gases outside the buildingsD．the air indoors is polluted, which is very harmful【2】Some kind of indoor pollution can be found in .A．every modern house B．every old houseC．all kinds of houses D．all kinds of offices【3】The indoor air pollution is caused by .A．the limit of the flow of air between inside and outsideB．the building way that the builders want to save energyC．the building things that are made of man-made materialsD．the man-made building materials and the limit of air-flow【4】The reason why we should use different kinds of plants to clean the air is thatA．plants can let out all kinds of pollutants indoorsB．plants may take in more oxygen （氧气）which people needC．plants can absorb all kinds of harmful indoor chemicalsD．plants can make our houses prettier and more healthy2.Valencia is in the east part of Spain. It has a port on the sea, two miles away on the coast. It is the capital of a province that is also named Valencia.The city is a market center for what is produced by the land around the city. Most of the city's money is made from farming. It is also a busy business city, with ships, railways, clothes and machine factories.Valencia has an old part with white buildings, colored roofs and narrow streets. The modern part has long, wide streets and new buildings. Valencia is well known for its parks and gardens. It has many old churches andmuseums. The university in the center of the city was built in the 13th century.The city of Valencia has been known since the 2nd century. In the 8th century it was the capital of Spain.

When I was a child, I enjoyed drawing, but I also liked making things out of clay(粘土). I won a prize for one of my paintings when I was fourteen. That may be why I went to art school four years later. But I studied painting at first, not pottery(制陶). I like being a potter because I like to work with my hands and feel the clay. I'm happy working by myself and being near my home. I don't like mass-produced(集体生产)things, because they are made by machines. I think crafts(手工艺) are very important and crafts-people make things cleverly with hands. They make our lives colorful. When I left school, I got some money. I hope to become a full-time crafts-woman. This work-place is small, but I wish to move to a larger one next year.【1】From the passage we are sure that the writer is a _______.A．student B．teacher C．man D．woman【2】The writer got into art school because of ______.A．liking to make thingsB．enjoying working near her homeC．a prize won when the writer was youngD．a wish to be a potter【3】When entering art school, the writer was about ______.A．14B．16C．18D．21A．unhappily B．hopefully C．seriously D．angrily4.Have you ever suddenly felt that someone you know was in trouble——and he was? Have you ever dreamed something that came true later? Maybe you have ESP（超感官知觉）.ESP stands for Extra Sensory Perception. It may be called a sixth sense. It seems to let people know about events（事件）before they happen, or events that are happening some distance（距离）away.Here is an example: A woman was doing washing. Suddenly she shouted, “My father is dead! I saw him sitting in the chair!” Just then, a telephone came. The woman’s f ather had died of a heart illness. He died sitting in a chair. There are thousands of stories like this on record. Scientists are studying them to find out what is behind these strange mental（心理的）messages. Here’s another example——one of hundreds of dreams that have come true.A man dreamed he was walking along a road when a horse and carriage came by. The driver said, “There’s room for one more.” The man felt the driver was Death, so he ran away. The next day the man was getting on a crowded bus. The bus dr iver said, “There’s room for one more”. Then the man saw the driver’s face was the same face he had seen in the dream. He wouldn’t get on the bus. As the bus drove off, it crashed and burst into fires. Everyone was killed!Some people say stories like these are lies or coincidences. Others say that are ESP in true, From studies of ESP, we may some day learn more about the human mind.【1】ESP lets people know about _________.A．their dreamsB．events after they happenC．events before they happenD．heart illness【2】In his passage the word “coincidences” means ________.A．things which do not happenB．things which happen by accidentC．things which are only dreamsD．things dreamed of only by sick people【3】The best title of this passage is _________.A．Sixth Sense B．The Human MindC．A Big Lie D．A Terrible Dream二、完形填空阅读下面短文，从短文后所给各题的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

Literature.C. Science.D. Education.BI left home to support my sister in her efforts to present a music festival. She lives on the other side of the world, and I went to visit her, not wanting to leave and feeling like I was leaving home against my will. However, I wanted to show her my support because she is my only sister.So I boarded the plane in mid-August, and hated the long flight. I arrived, tired and hungry. I had left my husband of 2 years, alone, in our old New Orleans house.I was all set and ready to perform for my sister for the music festival on Sunday morning when I received a call from Chicago. The hurricane was predicted to hit our city, and many people had already evacuated, but my husband chose to stay behind. He could not get a call to me on the other side of the world, but he could call his cousin in Chicago. He gave his cousin a message for me, that he would be just fine, and not to worry.As the day wore on, I finally took the stage in front of hundreds of Europeans, and I realized, thanks to CNN, that New Orleans was under water.I performed, hoping that my husband would survive. And I performed perfectly. The audience stood and applauded. I left the stage and went straight to the TV. I saw the street sign near my home, of Humanity Street, but nothing below it, except water.In the days that followed, I found out that my house, my car, my clothes, my fur niture, everything that I’d left behind was gone…but not my husband. He survived by riding on the rear bumper（后保险杠）of a VW bus, holding on to the overhead luggage rack, in the pouring rain, down the highway from New Orleans, half-way to Baton Rouge. The rest of the journey was a long walk, but he survived.By the first week of September, I flew back to the Baton Rouge airport, and hugged my husband. Since then, our relationship has grown deeper; we have completely rebuilt our house, bought a new car, bought new furniture and new clothes and joined an inspirational, spirit-filled community.5. Why did the author leave home?A. To look after her sister.B. To attend a music festival.C. To watch a performance.D. To visit her husband’s cousin.6. How did the author feel when she left home?A. Disappointed.B. Worried.C. Tired.D. Unwilling.7. What does the underlined word “evacuated” mean?A. Gathered.B. Struggled.C. Escaped.D. Hid.8. What might be the title for the passage?A. Lost it All, Gained Even More.B. Once Gone, Never Returned.C. Caught in the Hurricane.D. Trapped in a Dilemma.CPeople do not like being separated from their mobile phones, even while enjoying a restful holiday at the beach. However, the phone battery may become exhausted completely. If that happens, they have no choice but to connect the phone to the power supply. But it’s i mpossible to get the battery charged at the beach. What’s worse, the hot sun is shining right overhead, and the water in the bottle is sure to reach a very high temperature.Antoine Sayah, a university student from Lebanon, developed a special beach mat called the Beachill. It looks similar to the ordinary beach mat and will cause back pain as well. However, the device can recharge any mobile phone. It is designed to be water-resistant (防水的) and has a 5-watt solar panel, which provides power continuously. The mat also has the refrigeration equipment that can help keep drinks cool, just like the refrigerator.Antoine Sayah began selling the Beachill on the Internet for $150. He says he has been surprised at the reaction worldwide. “I have got orders for the device from Brazil, Toronto, all over Europe, especially France, America, from all continents.” The Beachill is also gaining popularity in other places, like swimming pools and boats.Some people like the mat because it is lightweight and easy-to-carry. Rita Mathieu bought one of the Beachills. “When I am on the beach, I used to look around for a charger and never managed to find any and the water never stays cool,” she says. “So this kin d of beach mat is wonderful and has everything in it, even a pocket where I can put a book. Thanks to it, I can surf the Internet and keep in touch with friends at any time at the beach.”9. The opening paragraph is mainly intended to ______.A. show great pity for people at the beachB. attract the readers’ interest in the subjectC. provide some key facts about mobile phonesD. prove the importance of water in hot weather10. What can we learn about the Beachill?A. It is quite unusual in appearance.B. It will stop working in the water.C. It has some function of the refrigerator.D. It functions more effectively than ordinary ones.11. Rita Mathieu is mentioned to prove the Beachill’s _______.A. popularityB. convenienceC. good qualityD. low price12. The text is written to _______.A. tell people a new way to get a cold drinkB. ask people to stop using phones at the beachC. encourage people to travel around the worldD. introduce a beach mat that can charge a phoneDRobots and humans will soon be living in harmony(和睦).A singing robot is being taught to create jazz with a human in a project.Antonio Chella from Italy is working with a Telenoid robot. To start with, theTelenoid will be trained to follow the movements and simple sounds made by a human singer, and to connect music with different emotional states. Chella then plans to see if the robot can use these connections to create music.Intelligence is often regarded as the ability to find connections between the existing things. But Chella suggests that a conscious creature should be able to go a step further and introduce new connections that result in the creation of something new.Some jazz musicians say that they should have a mental library of musical phrases so that they are able to combine them in new ways. More importantly, however, this combination happens in a state that is similar in a sense to dreaming. Chella wants to copy these states in a machine.“This work raises interesting questions about the link between consciousness and music making,” says Philippe Pasquier, a musician and computer scientist. But he is skeptical about whether a robot musician needs a physical body.Pasquier argues that the robots are faced with two challenges. Software that can copy Bach has already been developed. But interpretation（演绎）includes human’s different tastes and judgments. “What made the Beatles famous was not so much their works, but the fact that the interpretations of the works were wonderful,” he says.It is not yet clear how a robot would go about interpreting music in a new way. But by copying humans and then learning to sing, Chella’s robot could provide clues.What seems to be important is that human composers often listen to lots of music made by others. So Chella’s robot had better listen to those jazz standards first.13. Which of the following is the robot’s first step before it tries to create jazz?A. Living with human beings in harmony.B. Connecting actions with human’s emotions.C. Copying a human singer’s movements and sound s.D. Learning to communicate with human beings freely.14. What can we know about the robots like Telenoid from the text?A. They are household robots.B. They can talk with researchers.C. They are faced with two challenges.D. They will become human singers.15. What can be concluded from the text?A. Chella’s robot needs a physical body to make music.B. How to interpret jazz is a piece of cake for Chella’s robot.C. A new kind of software should be developed to copy Bach.D. Chella’s robot should listen to much jazz to create something new.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。

In the clinic, I asked if Michael could be retested, so the specialist tested him again. To my 21 , it was the same score.Later that evening, I _22 _ told Frank what I had learned that day. After talking it over, we agree that we knew our _23_ much better than an IQ test. We 24 that Michael’s score must have been a _25 and we should treat him __26___ as usual.We moved to Indiana in 1962, and Michael studied at Concordia High School in the same year. He got 27 grades in the school, especially 28 biology and chemistry, which was a great comfort.Michael _29_ Indiana University in 1965 as a pre-medical student, soon afterwards, his teachers permitted him to take more courses than _30_ .
