After all, sex symbols James Dean and Humphrey Bogart were rarely seen without a cigarette. However, the latest evidence shows that smoking actually makes you less attractive to the opposite sex. Wrinkles from smoking a cigarette may be to blame for people judging non-smokers to be better-looking.This was the result of a study asking more than 500 people to pick the most attractive of twins where one smoked and the other did not. Men found female non-smokers the most attractive in two-thirds of cases, while women chose non-smoking men as the most attractive 68 percent of the time.Professor Ian Penton-V oak, a co-author of the study from Bristol Unive rsity, said, “People assume that smoking causes damage to the skin and appearance, but this is a really neat way of looking at it because these twins are genetically identical, so we can control for genetic factors involved in ageing. Appearance seems tobe important to people, especially young people, so we could use these sorts of findings as a basis for future interventions to stop people smoking.”Smoking can speed up the normal ageing, even after only a decade. Nicotine causes narrowing of the blood vessels in the outermost layers of the skin, while the chemicals in tobacco smoke damage collagen and elastin, fibres which give the skin its elasticity (弹性).The wrinkles this causes are added to by facial expressions made when smoking such as pursing the lips when inhaling (吸气) or squinting to keep smoke out of your eyes.4．Why does the author mention James Dean and Humphrey Bogart?A. To persuade smokers to give up smoking.B. To compare them with non-smokers.C. To tell us many people are influenced by them.D. To show understanding and comfort smokers.5．What can we learn from Para. 2 and Para. 3?A. 500 twins were surveyed for the study.B. Probably young people pay more attention to their appearance.C. Female non-smokers are more attractive than male ones.D. Professor Ian Penton-V oak is the leading author of the study.6．What is Professor Ian Penton-V oak’s altitude to smoking?A. Disapproving.B. Favorable.C. Unconcerned.D. Cautious.7．What can be inferred from the text?A. Smokers look cooler than non-smokers.B. Smoking may speed up skin’s ageing.C. Smokers look younger than non-smokers.D. Smoking should be banned right away.CNandakumar and Sudha were thrilled to learn that they were having children. Unfortunately, Sudha developed diabetes while pregnant and her daughters were born two months premature. They need ventilator (呼吸机) support for the next 4-6 weeks to breathe. The family is poor and does not have the money to meet the unexpected expenses and need help to keep the babies alive.Nandakumar, a carpenter by profession, fell sick after marriage and has not recovered fully. He is not mentally stable and tends to ta lk in a stream. He also finds it hard to hold down a job. Nandakumar’s mother Dheivanai has been the stabilising presence for the family. She kept things together and made sure that theyhad enough to eat.“Sudha has been through a lot of sorrow over not having children. The previous child was still born, so we were very happy that this pregnancy was going well,” said Dheivanai. Dheivanai hoped that the children would bring joy to their household and take care of her son even after she was gone. She started saving up money for her grandchildren.The cost of keeping the children alive is Rs 4 lakhs per child because they each need ICU (Intensive Care Unit) support for the next 4-6 months of their lives. The small savings of the family are already o ver and they are faced with a very painful situation trying to save two newborns with no money.Nandakumar is mentally unwell and Sudha is still recovering from childbirth. So it falls to his mother to arrange for the babies’ well-being. “After my son became sick, m e and my daughter-in-law have taken care of things. During her pregnancy. I have cared for her like she’s my own daughter. I feel pained that I don’t have the money to save the babies,” she says.Before childbirth, Sudha and Dheivanai worked together and earned Rs 5,000 per month. Sometimes, Nandakumar picks up odd jobs and earns a bit more. The family has no savings and they need help to save their two innocent babies.8．What caused “the unexpected expenses”（Paragraph 1)?A. Nandakumar’s mental problems.B. The babies’ medical care.C. Dheivanai’s living.D. Sudha’s diabetes.9．Why did Dheivanai feel happy about the birth of the children?A. The children were born healthy.B. It was the first time for Sudha to be pregnant.C. The government would provide welfare services.D. The children would look after their father in the future.10．Where does the money for the well-being of the babies come from at present?A. The father.B. The mother.C. The grandmother.D. The government.11．What is the above writing most probably for?A. Raising donation.B. Sharing news.C. Giving instruction.D. Providing amusement.D“You can choose your friends, but you can’t choose your family.” That line comes from American writer Harper Lee’s book To Kill a Mockingbird. Now compare her words to another famous expression: “Blood isthicker than water”.However, if forced to choose which is more important, American researchers now say friendship is more important than family. Their new study suggests that friends may be more important than family members, especially as we age.The study comes from researchers at Michigan State University. They found the importance of friendship on health and happiness grows as people get older.William Chopik is an assistant professor of psychology at Michigan State and was one of the lead researchers in this study. He says, “Friendship becomes even more important as we age. Keeping a few really good friends around can make a world of difference for our health and well-being.” Chopik notes that we need to think of friendship as an investment in our future happiness.The Michigan State researchers considered information from two separate surveys. In the first group, both family and friendships influenced overall health and happiness. However, in the second, researchers said that friendships “became a stronger predictor of health and happiness” as people get older. Also in the second group, unhealthy friendships led to increased chronic conditions. But with supportive friends, Chopik noted, participants reported being happier.One reason is that people can keep the friendships that make them feel good and move on from the ones that don’t. Family, on the other hand, will always be with you. They can be helpful and enjoyable, but can also cause troubles.This may be good news for people who don’t have strong ties with family members. Not all of us are born into the families we need. But we all have the ability to choose friends that we need.12．What should we invest to get later well-being according to the researchers?A. Good friend ties.B. Easy health exercises.C. Common family relations.D. Personal relation knowledge.13. How is the research carried out?A. By doing two experiments.B. By interviewing all at once.C. By conducting two surveys.D. By taking part in activities.14．What can the people with weak family ties do?A. Develop stronger family relations.B. Make as many friends as possible.C. Get more supportive friends.D. Stay with family members.15．What is the main idea of the passage?A. Friends and family members are equally important.B. When we grow older, friendship matters more.C. As we age, family members are more valuable.D. We always need friends and family members.二、七选五(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)Beauty sleep doesn't just belong to the fairytale world.

A travel brochure．CTeens 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) 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 to reading. 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) 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.8. 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.9. Where can you find the data that best supports "children are reading a lot lessfor fun"?A. In Paragraph 2.B. In Paragraph 3.C. In Paragraph 4.D. In Paragraph 5.10. Why do many parents limit electronic reading?A. E-books are of poor quality.B. It could be waste of time.C. It may harm children's health.D. E-readers are expensive.11. How should parents encourage their children to read more?A. Act as role models for them.B. Ask them to write book reports.C. Set up reading groups for them.D. Talk with their reading class teachers.DWe've all been there: in a lift, in line at the bank or on airplane, surrounded by people who are, like us, deeply focused on their smartphones or, worse, struggling with the uncomfortable silence.What's the problem? It's possible that we all have compromised conversational intelligence. It's more likely that none of us start a conversation because it's awkward and challenging, or we think it's annoying and unnecessary. But the next time you find yourself among strangers, consider that small talk is worth the trouble. Experts say it's an invaluable social practice that results in big benefits.Dismissing small talk as unimportant is easy, but we can't forget that deep relationships wouldn't even exist if it weren't for casual conversation. Small talk is the grease (润滑剂) for social communication, says Bernardo Carducci, director of the Shyness Research Institute at Indiana University Southeast. "Almost every great love story and each big business deal begins with small talk," he explains. "The key to successful small talk is learning how to connect with others, not just communicate with them."In a 2014 study, Elizabeth Dunn, associate professor of psychology at UBC, invited people on their way into a coffee shop. One group was asked to seek out an interaction (互动) with its waiter; the other, to speak only when necessary. The results showed that those who chatted with their server reported significantly higher positive feelings and a better coffee shop experience. "It's not that talking to the waiter is better than talking to your husband," says Dunn. "But interactions with peripheral (边缘的) members of our social network matter for our well-being also."Dunn believes that people who reach out to strangers feel a significantly greater sense of belonging, a bond with others. Carducci believes developing such a sense of belonging starts with small talk. "Small talk is the basis of good manners," he says.12. What phenomenon is described in the first paragraph?A. Addiction to smartphones.B. Inappropriate behaviours in public places.C. Absence of communication between strangers.D. Impatience with slow service.13. What is important for successful small talk according to Carducci?A. Showing good manners.B. Relating to other people.C. Focusing on a topic.D. Making business deals.14. What does the coffee shop study suggest about small talk?A. It improves family relationships.B. It raises people's confidence.C. It matters as much as a formal talk.D. It makes people feel good.15. What is the best title for the text?A. Conversation CountsB. Ways of Making Small TalkC. Benefits of Small TalkD. Uncomfortable SilenceIf you are already making the time to exercise, it is good indeed! With such busy lives, it can be hard to try and find the time to work out. (1) Working out in the morning provides additional benefits beyond being physically fit.•Your productivity is improved. Exercising makes you more awake and ready to handle whatever is ahead of you for the day. (2)•Your metabolism (新陈代谢) gets a head start. (3) If you work out in the mornings, then you will be getting the calorie (卡路里) burning benefits for the whole day, not in your sleep.• (4) Studies found that people who woke up early for exercise slept better than those who exercised in the evening. Exercise energizes you, so it is more difficult to relax and have a peaceful sleep when you are very excited.• (5) If you work out bright and early in the morning, you will be more likely to stick to healthy food choices throughout the day. Who would want to ruin their good workout by eating junk food? You will want to continue to focus on positive choices.There are a lot of benefits to working out, especially in the mornings.

But a week or so before the 25th, my father would give each of his children $20. This was the 1970s, and $20 was quite a bit of money.But I saw it differently. My father trusted me to have the smart to spend money wisely. Even better, he gave me the means to get it. On a very basic level, my father was giving me a shopping spree (狂欢) every year. But he was also giving me charge over my own fun, trusting my ability to manage money and making me feel like a grown-up. He didn’t buy me Sherlock Holmes,but he gave me the means to walk into the bookstore and choose it for myself, so it felt like a gift from him.My mother had a gift for giving me what I needed, usually right at the moment I needed it most. This was when I was 25, I failed at being an adult on my very first try. I had quitted my previous job but had no new one. But when my mother paid me a visit, I put on a good show,telling her I had started my own company.My mother knew that I was trying hard and failing at that time. It wasn’t untilafter she left that I noticed at the foot of my bed an envelope thick with cash. She knew how desperately I needed it. She knew that had she just shown up with groceries, or offered to pay my rent, she would have made me feel much worse. The cold, hard cash meant she was helping me. And, funnily enough, the distance with which she gave the gift felt like she was giving me space to fix my life and preserve my dignity. My mother and father both did the same thing. One was giving me the means to take my own decisions, and the other was giving me a second chance when those decisions had cost me dearly.4．What can we learn about the author from the first two paragraphs?A. His family once celebrated Christmas happily.B. His father gave the author chances to make decisions.C. His best memories about Christmas were in the 1970s.D. He used to choos e books as his father’s gift on Christmas..5．What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 2 refer to?A. money offered by his father.B. father generous with money.C. Christmas being important.D. the means of spending money. 6．When he was 25 years old,the author_____.A. planned to open his companyB. became interested in showsC. gave his mother a giftD. was out of work7．Which word can best describe the author’s mother?A. sensitive.B. optimistic.C. considerate.D. determined.CThe popular smartphone application Instagram (照片分享) has changed the way we look at photography,even our world. The photo-worthy moments we share serve as an important function in cultivating the photographic artistic eye.Instagram has got people to start noticing the art in their everyday life. It has also allowed us to share the artful moments in our lives with others. Clearly, making people focus on beautiful moments in their lives and how to share them is a positive takeaway from Instagram.Not only has Instagram changed the way we look at things around us, but it has also changed the way people view professional photography. Instagram has turned everyone with a smartphone into an artist. Opening up art to the general community is a groundbreaking (创新的) aspect of this application. Making artistic attempts accessible for everyone to discover their artistic talents and explore creativelyis something that has made people find the beauty in the everyday. However, this accessibility has also created questioning around art and respect deserved by professional photography.The art in a professional photograph versus an Instagram can sometimes be hard to notice at a quick glance. But photographs taken by true professional photographers hold something that Instagram’s can’t match in terms of photographic quality, or advanced compositional knowledge.This is not to say Instagram is a lesser art. Aesthetic qualities of art are a personal matter and how good an artwork is depends on personal preferences. Good is a very arbitrary term in the art world. For example, I may find one photo more pleasing than another, but not everyone has to agree with me.The point I am trying to make is that professional photography should not be lost, but instead approached with a new, enhanced level of respect and admiration─despite how accessible, common and fun Instagram now makes the taking and sharing of photos.8．What does the writer mainly tell us in the passage?A. The increasing popularity of Instagram.B. The advantages and disadvantages of Instagram.C. The changes that Instagram brings us.D. The differences between Instagram and professional photography.9．Why do people begin to doubt the art of professional photography?A. Because common people can take perfect photos easily.B. Because they show no respect for professional photographers.C. Because the artistic level of professional photography is reducing.D. Because Instagram has changed the way people look at the world.10．What does the writer think of professional photography?A. useful.B. valueless.C. helpless.D. absurd.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。

2018届甘肃省天水市第一中学高三上学期开学考试英语(word版有答案)
2018届甘肃省天水市第一中学高三上学期开学考试英语第Ⅰ卷第一部分阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）AIt was a cold March day in High Point,North Carolina.The girls on the Wesleyan Academy softball were waiting for their next turns at bat during practice,stamping their feet to say warm.Eighth-grader Taylor Bisbee shivered（发抖）a little as she watched her teammate Paris White play.The two didn’t know each other well—Taylor had just moved to town a month or so before.Suddenly,Paris fell to the ground,“Paris’s eyes rolled back,”Taylor says.“She stated shaking.I knew it was an emergency.”It certainly was,Paris had suffered a sudden heart failure.Without immediate medical care,Paris would die.At first,no one moved.The girls were in shock.Then the softball coach shouted out,“Does anyone know CPR?”CPR is a life-saving technique.To do CPR,you press on the sick person’s chest so that blood moves through the body and takes oxygen to organs.Without oxygen the brain is damaging quickly.Amazingly,Taylor had just taken a CPR course the day before.Still,she hesitated.She didn’t think she knew it well enough.But when no one else came forward,Taylor ran to Paris and began doing CPR.“It was scary.I knew it was the difference between life and death,”says Taylor.Taylor’s swift action helped her teammates calm down.One girl called 911.Two more ran to get the school nurse, who brought a defibrillator,an electronic devices（器械）that can shock the heart back into work.Luck stayed with them: Paris’ heartbeat returned.“I know I was really lucky,”Paris says now.“Most people don’t survive this.My team saved my life.”Experts say Paris is right: For a sudden heart failure,the single best chance for survival ishaving someone nearby step in and do CPR quickly.Today,Paris is back on the softball team.Taylor will apply to college soon.She wants to be a nurse.“I feel more confident in my actions now,”Taylor says.“I know I can act under pressure in a scary situation.”1.What happened to Paris on a March day?A.She caught a bad cold.B.She has a sudden heart problem.C.She was knocked down by a ball.D.She shivered terribly during practice.2.Why does Paris say she was lucky?A.She made a worthy friend.B.She recovered from shock.C.She received immediate CPR.D.She came back on the softball team.3.Which of the following words can best describe Taylor?A.Enthusiastic and kind.B.Courageous and calm.C.Cooperative and generous.D.Ambitious and professional.BReading can be a social activity.Think of the people who belong to book groups.They choose books to read and then meet to discuss them.Now,the website turns the page on the traditional ides of a book group.Members go on the site and register the books they own and would like to share.BookCrossing provides an identification number to stick inside the book.Then the person leaves it in a public place,hoping that the book will have an adventure,traveling far and wide with each new reader who finds it.Bruce Pederson,the managing director of BookCrossing,says,“The two things that change your life are the people you meet and books you read.BookCrossing combines both.”Members leave books on park benches and buses,in train stations and coffee shops.Whoever finds their book will go to the site and record where they found it.People who find a book can also leave a journal entry describing what they thought of it.E-mails are then sent to the BookCrossing to keep them updated about where their books have been found.Bruce Peterson says the ides is for people not to be selfish by keeping a book to gather dust on a shelf at home.BookCrossing is part of a trend among people who want to get back to the “real” and not thevirtual（虚拟）.The site now has more than one million members in more than one hundred thirty-five countries.4.Why does the author mention book groups in the first paragraph?A.To explain what they are.B.To introduce BookCrossing.C.To stress the importance of reading.D.To encourage readers to share their ideas.5.What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 2 refer to?A.The book.B.An adventure.C.A public place.D.The identification number.6.What will a BookCrosser do with a book after reading it?A.Meeting other readers to discuss it.B.Keep it safe in his bookcase.C.Pass it on to another reader.D.Mail it back to its owner.7.What is the best title for the text?A.Online Reading: A Virtual TourB.Electronic Books: A new TrendC.A Book Group Brings Tradition BackD.A Website Links People Through BooksCAt thirteen,I was diagnosed with kind of attention disorder.It made school difficult for me.When people else in the class was focusing on tasks,I could not.In my first literature class,Mrs.Smith asked us to read a story and then write on it,all within 45 minutes.I raised my hard right away and said,“Mrs.Smith,you see,the doctor said I have attention problems.I might not be able to do it.”She glanced down at me through her glasses,“you are no different from your classmates,young man.”I tried,but I didn’t finish the reading when the bell rang.I had to take it home.In the quietness of my bedroom,the story suddenly all became clear to me.It was about a blind person,Louis Braille.He lived in a time when the blind couldn’t get much education.But Louis didn’t give up.Instead,he invented a reading system of raised dots（点）,which opened up a whole new world of knowledge to the blind.Wasn’t I the “blind” in my class,being made to learn like the “sighted” students?My thoughts spilled out and my pen started to dance.I completed the task within 40 minutes.Indeed,I was no different from others;I just needed a quieter place.If Louis could find his way out of hisproblems,why should I ever give up?I didn’t expect anything when I handled in my paper to Mrs.Smith,so it was quite a surprise when it came back to me the next day-with an “A” on it.At the bottom of the paper were these words:“See what you can do when you keep trying?”8.The author didn’t finish the reading in class because_______.A.He was new to the classB.He was tried of literatureC.He had an attention disorderD.He wanted to take the task home9.What do we know about Louis Braille from the passage?A.He had good sight.B.He made a great

idea of the passage?A.The disabled should be treated with respect.B.A teacher can open up a new world to students.C.One can find his way out of difficulties with efforts.D.Everyone needs a hand when faced with challenges.DScientists have found that human eyes are more likely to be damaged by UV rays while skiing in the snow- covered areas than sitting on the beach,according to a report by the UK newspaper.The researchers at Kanazawa Medical University,Japan and American company Johnson & Johnson conducted the study together.They looked at the effects of light reflection on newly fallen snow on a ski trail in Ishikawa District,northern Japan.They compared the results with the levels of UV rays on a sand beach in southern Japan’s Okinawa District.The found that on the beach,eyes are exposed to a daily 260 kilojoules（千焦耳）of UV a square meter compared to 658 kilojoules in snow-covered areas.The findings are supported by the Japan Meteorological（气象的）Agency.According to the agency,the reflection rate of UV light on beaches is often between 10 and 25 percent,compared to 80 percent in the new snow areas.The amount of light increased 4 percent with a 300-meter rise inheight.Most of us know that UV rays can harm the skin.That’s why er wear sunscreen on our skin before we get out in the sun.But many of us may not realize that UV rays are also harmful to the eyes.If your eyes are exposed to large amounts of UV radiation over a short period of time,you may experience a kind of sunburn of the eye,which is harmful.Your eyes will become red and feel a strange feeling.They may be sensitive to light.Fortunately,this is usually temporary and seldom causes permanent damage to the eyes.Long-term exposure to UV radiation,however,can be more serious.Scientific studies and researches have shown that exposure to small amounts of UV radiation over a period of many years increases the chance of eye damages, which could lead to total blindness.12.You would most likely find the article in .A.a doctor’s diaryB.a travel journalC.a medical magazineD.a physics textbook13.Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A.Too much eye exposure to UV rays may cause total blindness.B.Short-time exposure of the eyes to UV rays doesn’t harm them at all.C.Most people know that UV rays harm the eyes as well as the skin.D.The study was conducted by researchers from Japan,the USA and the UK.14.Human eyes are more likely to be damaged by UV rays while skiing in the snow-covered areas than sitting on the beach because .A.Snow produces more UV light than water.B.People don’t wear sunscreen while skiing as they do while sitting on the beach.C.The reflection rate of UV light in snow-covered areas is much higher that that on the beach.D.Human eyes are exposed longer to UV light in the snow-covered areas than on the beach.15.What will the passage most probably talk about next?A.Never ski on newly fallen snow in Japan.B.Go to hospital to have your eyes examined.C.Wearing a hat can provide protection while skiing in new snow areas.D.Take some measures to protect your eyes while skiing in new snow areas.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。

I’ve had too many disappointing meals and paid too much money for them! At one point, fed up with my complaint, a friend suggested I open my own restaurant. Impossible, I thought. But then I heard about supper clubs...”Supper clubs are a mixture of a restaurant and a dinner party — you go to a stranger’s house and he/she cooks dinner fo r you. Like a restaurant, you pay for your food, but like a dinner party, you eat at the same table as other people. They are advertised through social-networking sites with a menu and little information about where the supper club is until just before the meal.“It’s like running a secret restaurant for one night,” says Cassie. “The next morning, I set the tables and chairs aside. I put the TV back and it’s my living room again.”Cassie opens her “restaurant” for people about once a month, and she really e njoys the evenings she’s had so far. She uses fresh, local ingredients and a typical meal costs about the same as a takeaway —much less than a restaurant meal. So how does she make money out of it?“I don’t,” says Cassie. “In fact, at first I was worried about losing money on my club. I’m good at cooking but my maths is terrible! But I was surprised by how cheaply I could make a good meal. This isn’t about money. It’s about a different eating experience.”And what about inviting complete strangers into her house? Was Cassie ever nervous about that?“Not at all,” she says. “Almost everyone at the supper club is just interested in having a good meal with other interesting people.”4．Why did Cassie decide to open her own restaurant finally?A. To earn a living.B. To satisfy her friend’s needs.C. To make friends with strangers.D. To cook cheap and good meals for others. 5．What does the underlined word “They” in Paragraph 2 refer to?A. Dinner parties.B. Supper clubs.C. Fresh ingredients.D. Invitations to dinner.6．We can know that Cassie’s restaurant ________.A. serves meals for freeB. only serves takeawaysC. is only open to her friendsD. is only open in the evening7．How does Cassie feel about her restaurant now?A. Worried.B. Content.C. Annoyed.D. Sensitive.CMany people believe that language belongs to human beings. However, cats have developed a language not for each other, but for the human beings who have them as pets.When communicating with each other, cats “talk” with a system of signals. Their tails, rather than any kind of “speech”, act as an important way to express themselves. They also touch each other to express s their feelings. With other cats,they will use their voices only to express pain. Unbelievable, all of that changes when a human walks into the room. Cats use many different kinds of vocal (声音的) expressions when they communicate with a person. Since these vocal expressions are not used to communicate with other cats, it seems that cats developed this “language” to communicate with their human owners.This fact is shown more clearly when watching rooms that have only one cat and those with several cats. An only cat is usually very vocal, since the only creature(动物)around with whom the cat can communicate is its owner. Cats with other cats, though, are much quieter. If they want to have a conversation, they only need go to other cats and communicate in their natural way.Since cats learned to meow(喵喵叫)for the only purpose of communicating with human owners should take the time to learn what their different meows mean. If an owner knows, to name just a few examples, which meow means the cat is hungry, which means the cat wants to be petted, and which means the cat wants to have a little “conversation”, the relationship between cat and owner will be closer.8．If a cat among other cats finds part of its body hurts, it may express its pain with its________.A. tailB. eyesC. voiceD. head9．When a human enters a room full of cats, they________.A. begin to use vocal expressionsB. use their tails to show loveC. stop making any noise anD. stop communicating with each other10．What are cat owners advised to do?A. Encourage cats to talk with each other.B. Communicate more with cats.C. Learn to meow in different ways.D. Teach cats to understand human language.11．What is the text mainly about?A. Communication among catsB. pets' different expressions.C. Advice on keeping petsD. The language of cats.DHow much weight a baby gains during its first month could determine its IQ, as a new research suggests. The study found that children who gain more weight, and whose heads grow quickly during the first month of life, tend to have a higher IQ when they start school.Researchers at the University of Adelaide, in Australia^ studied 13,800 children who were born at full-term. They found that those who put on 40% of their birth weight in the first four weeks had an IQ 1.5 points higher than those who onlyput on 15% of their birth weight. Those who experienced the biggest growth in head circumference (头围) also had the highest IQs by the age of six.“Head circumference is an indicator of brain volume, so a greater increase in head circumference in a newly-born baby suggests more rapid brain growth,” says the led author of the study, Dr. Lisa Smithers.Sh e added, “Overall, newly-born children who grew faster in the first four weeks had higher IQ scores later in life. Those children who gained the most weight scored especially high on verbal (言语) IQ at age 6. This may be because the neural (神经的) structures for verbal IQ develop earlier in life, which means the rapid weight gain during the first month could be having a direct cognitive benefit for the children.”Previous studies have shown the association between early postnatal (产后的) diet and IQ, but this is the first study of its kind to focus on the IQ benefits of rapid weight gain in the first month of life. Dr. Smithers says the study further highlights the need for successful feeding of newly-born babies. “We know that many mothers have difficulty establishing breastfeeding in the first week of their babies’ life,” Dr. Smithers said.“The findings of our study suggest that if babies are having feeding problems, there needs to be early intervention (干预) in the management of that feeding.”12．The study mainly shows that ________.A. head circumference is certainly connected to IQ.B. babies’ heads grow quickly during the first month.C. full-term babies tend to be cleverer than premature babies. (早产儿)D. the more weight newly-born babies gain, the higher IQ they are likely to have. 13．How did the researchers get their conclusion from the study?A. By asking questions.B. By making comparison.C. By having a discussion.D. By referring to documents.14．According to Dr. Lisa Smithers, we can learn that ________.A. a kid’s verbal IQ scores reach its highest at age six.B. this study helps parents find feeding problems.C. quick weight gain benefits newly born babies on verbal IQ.D. this study reminds parents of the need for breastfeeding.15．The study differs from previous ones that _________.A. it associates early postnatal diet with IQ.B. it pays attention to the IQ of newly-born babies.C. it emphasizes the significance of successful feeding.D. it first focuses on the relation between IQ and weight gain in the first month of life.第二节阅读七选五（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分）Many people find it hard to lose weight and have to go starvation. Now, I’d like to offer some tricks to help lose weight.Put out a large vegetable plate. Eating water-rich foods such as tomatoes during meals reduces calorie consumption. Other water-rich foods include soups and salads. 16． Because the body processes hunger and thirst through different systems, it simply doesn’t register a sense of fullness with water (or tea, coffee or juice).Downsize your dinner plates. The less food put in front of you, the less food you’ll eat. So instead of using standard dinner plates, serve your main course on salad plates.17． Instead of large glasses and coffee mugs, return to the old days of cups and even smaller coffee cups.Serve your dinner restaurant-style (with food already on the plates) rather than family-style (where the food is served in bowls on the table).18．There’s no reaching for seconds.19．You’re more likely to eat more---and eat more high-fat, high calorie foods—when you eat out than when you eat at home.Eat slowly and calmly.20． Vary your eating with stories of the interesting things that happened during your day. Your brain is behind your stomach by about 20 minutes when it comes to fullness signals. If you eat slowly enough, your brain will catch up and tell you that you no longer need food. Serving separate courses will also slow you downA. The same goes for liquids.B. Eat 90 percent of your meals at home.C. When your p late is empty, you’re finished.D. Put your fork or spoon down between every bite.E. Be sure to choose a high-fiber, low-sugar variety of food.F. You won’t get the same benefits by just drinking water, thoughG. You should eat equal amounts of vegetables and grains at dinner.第二部分英语知识运用（共两节，满分45分）第一节完形填空（共20题，每小题1.5分，满分30分）When I was in my twenties, I travelled alone through the UK.

But a week or so before the 25th, my father would give each of his children $20. This was the 1970s,and $20 was quite a bit of money.But I saw it differently. My father trusted me to have the smart to spend money wisely. Even better, he gave me the means to get it. On a very basic level, my fatherwas giving me a shopping spree (狂欢) every year. But he was also giving me charge over m y o wn f un, t rusting m y a bility t o m anage m oney a nd m aking m e f eel l ike a g rown-up.

It wasn’t untilafter she left that I noticed at the foot of my bed an envelope thick with cash. Sheknew how desperately I needed it.

The photo-worthy moments we share serve as an important function in cultivating the photographic artistic eye.Instagram has got people to start noticing the art in their everyday life. It hasalso allowed us to share the artful moments in our lives with others. Clearly, making people focus on beautiful moments in their lives and how to share them is a positive takeaway from Instagram.Not only has Instagram changed the way we look at things around us, but it has also changed the way people view professional photography. Instagram has turned everyone with a smartphone into an artist. Opening up art to the general communityis a groundbreaking (创新的) aspect of this application. Making artistic attempts accessible for everyone to discover their artistic talents and explore creatively is something that has made people find the beauty in the everyday. However, this accessibility has also created questioning around art and respect deserved byprofessional photography.The art in a professional photograph versus an Instagram can sometimes be hardto notice at a quick glance. But photographs taken by true professional photographershold something that Instagram’s can’t match in terms of photographic quality, oradvanced compositional knowledge.This is not to say Instagram is a lesser art. Aesthetic qualities of art are apersonal matter and how good an artwork is depends on personal preferences. Good isa v ery a rbitrary t erm i n t he a rt w orld. F or e xample, I m ay find o ne p hoto m ore p leasingthan another, but not everyone has to agree with me.The point I am trying to make is that professional photography should not be lost,but instead approached with a new, enhanced level of respect and admiration─despitehow accessible, common and fun Instagram now makes the taking and sharing of photos. 8．What does the writer mainly tell us in the passage?A. The increasing popularity of Instagram.B. The advantages and disadvantages of Instagram.C. The changes that Instagram brings us.D. The differences between Instagram and professional photography.9．Why do people begin to doubt the art of professional photography?A. Because common people can take perfect photos easily.B. Because they show no respect for professional photographers.C. Because the artistic level of professional photography is reducing.D. Because Instagram has changed the way people look at the world.10．What does the writer think of professional photography?A. useful.B. valueless.C. helpless.D. absurd.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。

AThough online ordering is popular in the UK today, hands-on experience still attracts many buyers’ attention.Oxford StreetLondon is a shoppers’ paradise, and most visitors head for Oxford Street. Halfway along is Selfridges, one of the world’s first department stores where the architecture and window dressing impress you even before you go in. There are at least four other major stores on this street, plus Europe’s largest music shop. In December the atmosphere is especially festive because of the Christmas lights which are always lighted by a politician, a great sportsman, or a super star.Kensington High StreetA fashionable area for shopping is Kensington High Street. One of its department stores even has a roof garden----good for relaxing between purchases. There’s also an organic food superstore.Borough MarketYou can’t visit London without going to a supermarket. One of the oldest and best for food is probably Borough Market on the south bank of the Thames. Get off the underground at LondonBridge and wander among fresh fish stalls, bakeries, and fruit and vegetable sellers. You can also buy specialties to take away, like cheeses, pork pies, mustard and chutney.More places for bargainsPortobello Road Market on a Saturday is your best choice for jewelry or collector’s items. It’s a short walk from the underground station at Notting Hill Gate and you never know what you will find. For clothes, Camden Market is the place. It gets a little crowdedat the weekends, though. ConventGarden Market offers great experience for the simple pleasure of looking at jewelry and gifts.1. Oxford Street becomes special in December for .A. the wonderful window dressingB. the Europe’s largest music shopC. the lights lighted by a famous personD. many bargains to choose from2. To enjoy food, you can go to.A. Camden MarketB. Borough MarketC. Kensington High StreetD. Portobello Road Market3. Where is this passage probably taken from?A. A science book.B. A traveler’s journal.C. A news report.D. A trip guide.BWhen I was a boy there were no smart phones, and our television only got one channel clearly. Still, I was never bored. The fields, hills, and woodlands around my home were the perfect playground. I can remember once hiking to a nearby lake. At the backside of it I was amazed to find an old dirt road that I had never seen before. It was full of muddy tracks and deep woods bordered it on both sides, but exploring it still seemed like a fine adventure.I walked on and on for hours. I was sure my guardian angel was whispering in my ear “Turn around and head back home”, but I was stubborn, so I walked on. There was still neither a car nor a house in sight. I noticed that the sun was starting to go down and I grew scared. I didn’t want to end up trapped on this road, and I was worried that it would be dark before I could make my way back to the lake again.I continued to walk on with something growing inside of me. My heart was pounding and my legs were aching. I was almost in tears when I turned one last curve (弯道) and saw something in the distance. It was a house that I recognized. I jumped up and down and laughed out loud. It was still over a mile away but my legs felt like feathers and I hurried back to my house in no time. I walked in with a big smile on my face just in time for dinner.I remembered this recently when I saw a sign that said “All roads lead home”. It is true. In life, all roads, no matter how they twist and turn, can lead us home again.What is important, though, is how we travel them. Are we going to go forth in fear or are we going to go forth in faith? Are we going to make this life a terrible trip or are we going to make this life a joyful journey? The choice is ours.4. Why did the author hardly feel bored when he was young?A. Because he could have fun in nature.B. Because he could watch TV all day.C. Because he had many friends.D. Because he used to explore the old dirt road.5. How did the author feel when he was exploring the dirt road?A. He thought he would be scolded by his parents.B. He felt contradictory(矛盾的) in mind.C. He thought he would be trapped in the woods.D. He was unconscious (无意识的).6. What does “something” probably mean in Paragraph 3?A. Doubt.B. Hope.C. Courage.D. Fear.7. What does the author mainly intend to tell us?A. Always make choices on our own.B. All roads lead home.C. It's our attitude that matters in our life.D. Every effort is worthwhile.CEnjoying a musical performance no longer requires a costly ticket or a trip to a theater.These days, musicians are performing in private homes, at haircutting shops, at airports... even on ferry boats.Musicians like house concerts. At music clubs, they often have to perform over loud conversation or deal with people who have had too much alcohol.People at house concerts are more focused on listening to the music.Just a few hours before the Bombadils started singing at the O’Hair Salon, Lindsay was cutting hair and Tamera was doing facials. Then, they moved chairs and microphones to create a small performance space. The Bombadils made music in the front part of the hair salon, near the hair dryers and make-up table.“This is our first show at a hair salon,”Sarah Frank of the Bombadils told concertgoers at last week’s performance. Frank said she and band members Luke Fraser and Kaitlyn Raitz had a great time “interacting” with the audience.Concer ts in people’s homes, or small businesses such as O’Hair’s, are becoming more popular, musicians say. “There is a more relaxed atmosphere,”said Domenic Cicala, a musician who opened up his O’Hair Salon to concerts. “People really get to know the artists.”At house concerts, people get time before and after concerts to meet the performers. Often, the hosts or guests will provide food and drink.“People really like listening to music in the living room of a friend,”said Matt Hart, with Aubrey Zoli making up Local Strangers, a folk-rock group based in Seattle. At many such concerts, the musicians do not need microphones. Yet, every word of their songs can be heard.8. Why do musicians like house concerts?A. Because private homes are easier to get to.B. Because people pay more attention to their music.C. Because they can do other things while performing.D. Because they don't have to bring their microphones.9. What impressed Sarah Frank most at her last week’s performance?A. The small performance space.B. Her first show at a hair salon.C. Their “interacting” with the audience.D. The more relaxed atmosphere.10. How many music groups are mentioned in the text?A. One.B. Two.C. Three.D. Four.11. What may be the best title for the text?A. Musicians struggle to make a livingB. People really get to know the artistsC. Musicians find new places to performD. Concertgoers won’t go to music clubsDSocial networks are a big part of nearly every teenager’s life in this day and age. Many teens have QQ, We Chat, or Weibo but little do a lot of teens know that they can be held responsible for everything they post for the rest of their lives. Everything you post online is part of a digital footprint that can always be traced（追踪）back to you. That includes every post, even like, comment, favorite and forward that you have ever committed (做出). All pictures you’ve posted or will post have been stored in a digital d atabase, and it is the companies’right s to keep all of these documents that you believe to have been deleted or hidden.With every post comes a consequence; whether it is good or bad, what you post could be seen by anyone. That is why you have to be very careful of what you decide to post or comment.If you think you are safe from Servite finding out about one funny comment you made six months ago on a meaningless picture, you are probably wrong. Recently, a senior, Aaron, at Servite learned this lesson the hard way this year. He wrote a series of ugly comments towards Connelly girls on a web page, ignoring potential consequences.This student, however, did have to face consequences from Servite as he was removed from all of his leadership roles in the school. Surprisingly enough, he fully agreed with his punishment handed down by the administration and fully understood why he was given such severe discipline（惩处）. “When you agree to come to Servite, you are agreeing to defend what Servite stands for,” the young man said. “That continues past the hours of 8 am and 2 pm. It's at all times.”So, next time you’re about to post something you think could be received as offensive or inappropriate, think twice,think again, and don’t press send.12. What does the author think the teens should do in the first paragraph?A. Avoid using social media.B. Remove their own digital documents.C. Be responsible for what they put online.D. Learn to balance their online and offline time.13. What mistake did Aaron make online?A. Drawing some meaningless pictures.B. Making some bad comments.C. Failing to take his lesson.D. Breaking down a special webpage.14. What did Servite do with Aaron’s case?A. It reached an agreement with Connelly girls.B. It helped Aaron get rid of ill effects.C. It gave Aaron a severe punishment.D. It stood on Aaron’s side.15. For whom is the text probably intended?A. Teenagers.B. Teachers.C. Parents.D. Network engineers.第二节七选五（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。

AThough online ordering is popular in the UK today, hands-on experience still attracts many buyers’ attention.Oxford StreetLondon is a shoppers’ paradise, and most visitors head for Oxford Street. Halfway along is Selfridges, one of the world’s first department stores where the architecture and window dressing impress you even before you go in. There are at least four other major stores on this street, plus Europe’s largest music shop. In December the atmosphere is especially festive because of the Christmas lights which are always lighted by a politician, a great sportsman, or a super star.Kensington High StreetA fashionable area for shopping is Kensington High Street. One of its department stores even has a roof garden----good for relaxing between purchases. There’s also an organic food superstore.Borough MarketYou can’t visit London without going to a supermarket. One of the oldest and best for food is probably Borough Market on the south bank of the Thames. Get off the underground at London Bridge and wander among fresh fish stalls, bakeries, and fruit and vegetable sellers. You can also buy specialties to take away, like cheeses, pork pies, mustard and chutney.More places for bargainsPortobello Road Market on a Saturday is your best choice for jewelry or collector’s items. It’s a short walk from the underground station at Notting Hill Gate and you never know what youwill find. For clothes, Camden Market is the place. It gets a little crowded at the weekends, though. Convent Garden Market offers great experience for the simple pleasure of looking at jewelry and gifts.1. Oxford Street becomes special in December for .A. the wonderful window dressingB. the Europe’s largest music shopC. the lights lighted by a famous personD. many bargains to choose from2. To enjoy food, you can go to .A. Camden MarketB. Borough MarketC. Kensington High StreetD. Portobello Road Market3. Where is this passage probably taken from?A. A science book.B. A traveler’s journal.C. A news report.D. A trip guide.BWhen I was a boy there were no smart phones, and our television only got one channel clearly. Still, I was never bored. The fields, hills, and woodlands around my home were the perfect playground. I can remember once hiking to a nearby lake. At the backside of it I was amazed to find an old dirt road that I had never seen before. It was full of muddy tracks and deep woods bordered it on both sides, but exploring it still seemed like a fine adventure.I walked on and on for hours. I was sure my guardian angel was whispering in my ear “Turn around and head back home”, but I was stubborn, so I walked on. There was still neither a car nor a house in sight. I noticed that the sun was starting to go down and I grew scared. I didn’t want to end up trapped on this road, and I was worried that it would be dark before I could make my way back to the lake again.I continued to walk on with something growing inside of me. My heart was pounding and my legs were aching. I was almost in tears when I turned one last curve (弯道) and saw something in the distance. It was a house that I recognized. I jumped up and down and laughed out loud. It was still over a mile away but my legs felt like feathers and I hurried back to my house in no time.I walked in with a big smile on my face just in time for dinner.I remembered this recently when I saw a sign that said “All roads lead home”. It is true. In life, all roads, no matter how they twist and turn, can lead us home again. What is important, though, is how we travel them. Are we going to go forth in fear or are we going to go forth in faith? Are we going to make this life a terrible trip or are we going to make this life a joyful journey? The choice is ours.4. Why did the author hardly feel bored when he was young?A. Because he could have fun in nature.B. Because he could watch TV all day.C. Because he had many friends.D. Because he used to explore the old dirt road.5. How did the author feel when he was exploring the dirt road?A. He thought he would be scolded by his parents.B. He felt contradictory(矛盾的) in mind.C. He thought he would be trapped in the woods.D. He was unconscious (无意识的).6. What does “something” probably mean in Paragraph 3?A. Doubt.B. Hope.C. Courage.D. Fear.7. What does the author mainly intend to tell us?A. Always make choices on our own.B. All roads lead home.C. It's our attitude that matters in our life.D. Every effort is worthwhile.CEnjoying a musical performance no longer requires a costly ticket or a trip to a theater. These days, musicians are performing in private homes, at haircutting shops, at airports... even on ferry boats.Musicians like house concerts. At music clubs, they often have to perform over loud conversation or deal with people who have had too much alcohol. People at house concerts are more focused on listening to the music.Just a few hours before the Bombadils started singing at the O’ Hair Salon, Lindsay was cutting hair and Tamera was doing facials. Then, they moved chairs and microphones to createa small performance space. The Bombadils made music in the front part of the hair salon, nearthe hair dryers and make-up table.“This is our first show at a hair salon,”Sarah Frank of the Bombadils told concertgoersat last week’s performance. Frank said she and band me mbers Luke Fraser and Kaitlyn Raitz hada great time “interacting” with the audience.Concerts in people’s homes, or small businesses such as O’Hair’s, are becoming more popular, musicians say. “There is a more relaxed atmosphere,”said Domenic Cicala, a musician who opened up his O’Hair Salon to concerts. “People really get to know the artists.”At house concerts, people get time before and after concerts to meet the performers. Often,the hosts or guests will provide food and drink.“People really like listening to music in the living room of a friend,” said Matt Hart, with Aubrey Zoli making up Local Strangers, a folk-rock group based in Seattle. At many such concerts, the musicians do not need microphones. Yet, every word of their songs can be heard.8. Why do musicians like house concerts?A. Because private homes are easier to get to.B. Because people pay more attention to their music.C. Because they can do other things while performing.D. Because they don't have to bring their microphones.9. What impressed Sarah Frank most at her last week’s performance?A. The small performance space.B. Her first show at a hair salon.C. Their “interacting” with the audience.D. T he more relaxed atmosphere.10. How many music groups are mentioned in the text?A. One.B. Two.C. Three.D. Four.11. What may be the best title for the text?A. Musicians struggle to make a livingB. People really get to know the artistsC. Musicians find new places to performD. Concertgoers won’t go to music clubsDSocial networks are a big part of nearly every teenager’s life in this day and age. Many teens have QQ, We Chat, or Weibo but little do a lot of teens know that they can be held responsible for everything they post for the rest of their lives. Everything you post online is part of a digital footprint that can always be traced（追踪）back to you. That includes every post, even like, comment, favorite and forward that you have ever committed (做出). All pictures you’ve posted or will post have been stored in a digital d atabase, and it is the companies’ rights to keep all of these documents that you believe to have been deleted or hidden.With every post comes a consequence; whether it is good or bad, what you post could be seen by anyone. That is why you have to be very careful of what you decide to post or comment.If you think you are safe from Servite finding out about one funny comment you made six months ago on a meaningless picture, you are probably wrong. Recently, a senior, Aaron, at Servite learned this lesson the hard way this year. He wrote a series of ugly comments towards Connelly girls on a web page, ignoring potential consequences.This student, however, did have to face consequences from Servite as he was removed from all of his leadership roles in the school. Surprisingly enough, he fully agreed with his punishment handed down by the administration and fully understood why he was given such severe discipline （惩处）. “When you agree to come to Servite, you are agreeing to defend what Servite stands for,”the young man said. “That continues past the hours of 8 am and 2 pm. It's at all times.”So, next time you’r e about to post something you think could be received as offensive or inappropriate, think twice, think again, and don’t press send.12. What does the author think the teens should do in the first paragraph?A. Avoid using social media.B. Remove their own digital documents.C. Be responsible for what they put online.D. Learn to balance their online and offline time.13. What mistake did Aaron make online?A. Drawing some meaningless pictures.B. Making some bad comments.C. Failing to take his lesson.D. Breaking down a special web page.14. What did Servite do with Aaron’s case?A. It reached an agreement with Connelly girls.B. It helped Aaron get rid of ill effects.C. It gave Aaron a severe punishment.D. It stood on Aaron’s side.15. For whom is the text probably intended?A. Teenagers.B. Teachers.C. Parents.D. Network engineers.第二节七选五（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。
