He bought the last ticket, and he was very happy.At that time, a woman with a crying baby walked to him and asked him to sell her the ticket. He gave her the ticket because he thought they needed it more than he did. After the train left, he sat on the bench and didn't know where to go.

Then all at once a beautiful fairy(仙女) came out and asked the man what was the matter."I have lost my axe," he said."It fell into the water when I was cutting the wood."The fairy showed him a gold axe and asked," Is this yours?""No," said the man.The fairy then showed him a silver axe and asked again," Is this yours?""No," again answered the man.Then she showed him the old axe."Yes, that is mine, "called out the happy man."I know that well enough," said the fairy."I only wanted to see if you would tell me the truth, and now I'll give you the gold axe and the silver axe besides your own one."25.

After many years of walking, the king’s castle came into his view. However, as the boy drew closer to the outside of the castle, the guards noticed him.“Get out of here!” ordered the guards.Well, the little boy didn’t have to be told twice. He turned…and ran. All he wanted to do was to tell the king wonderful things, and see all the beautiful things in the king’s house. But he couldn’t even get near the castle! The boy finally stopped running, sat down and cried.A young man happened to be coming down the path at the very moment. He saw the little boy and stopped. “What’s wrong, young man?” he asked.“Sir, I walked and walked just to see the king. But these guards made me scared.I wanted to tell the king how lovely everything is and just tell the king that I just wanted to see him.!”The man looked at the little boy thoughtfully. “Look, why don’t you try again. I’ll come with you this time.”The little boy got up and took the man’s hand. The king’s guards spotted them.“Look, mister, we don’t have to do this…I don’t want you to get hurt. We can just turn around now.”The man held the little boy’s hand and went on. The boy really thought the man might be crazy until he looked back up at the guards. They were all smiling now. The little boy was amazed.“Who are you?” asked the little boy in astonishment.“Why, I’m the king’s son.

It's time to get up!" my mother said while she was pushing me. I opened my eyes and looked at the clock. "Oh dear! It's a quarter to eight already. I'll be late for school again," I thought. I jumped out of the bed, washed my face, then hurried to the bus stop without breakfast. As soon as I got on the bus, it started running. "I'm sure I can get to the school on time," I said to myself. Suddenly the bus stopped. The bus driver got off the bus, then got on the bus again and said, "I'm sorry, ladies and gentlemen. There's something wrong with the bus. Please get off the bus and wait for another one." "I couldn't wait. The school is not far. I'd betterrun to the school," I thought, and then I began to run. But before I got to the school, it began to rain hard.I reached the classroom but I was wet shivering(颤抖) with cold. The physics teacher had already begun his lesson. It was Mr. Smith. He was about fifty years old. All the students were a little afraid of him and so was I. I liked neither him nor his physics lessons. I hesitated(犹豫) for a moment and then I opened the door. "I'm very sorry, Mr. Smith. I'm late again," I said with a red face."It's you again, Jim," Mr. smith said angrily. "I've told you not be late, but you…" he suddenly stopped and looked at my wet clothes. He turned to the class and said, "I'm very sorry, my boys and girls." With these words he quickly took off his own jacket and handed it to me. "Now take off your wet coat and put this one or you'll catch cold," he said kindly.I went to my seat with Mr. Smith's jacket on. It was a bit large for me but I felt very warm in it. I found, for the first time, physics was so interesting and how well I could understand it!32.

河南周口中英文学校18-19年高考英语专项突破精练精析—阅读理解（四）【精练部分】第三部分：阅读理解〔共两节，40分〕第一节〔共15小题；每题2分，共30分〕阅读以下短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最正确选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
AIn my opinion, there is only one legitimate (合法的) handgun sport and that is aim practice. It is practiced at objects which are properly monitored and usually quite safe. Only certain handguns are true “sporting weapons”, seen as such by the sport’s lovers.On the other hand, shooting at tin cans and other small objects in one’s backyard is not and should not be considered a serious sport. When uncontrolled, it can be a very dangerous practice.Some opponents (反对者) of handgun control have stated that we are out to stop all hunting and that controlling the handgun would severely affect hunting. That is simply untrue. Handgun control would in no way limit the freedom of the true hunter. Few if any hunters consider the handgun an effective hunting weapon.There are a few hunters who do hunt with handguns, but most states place restrictions (限制) on the type of guns that can be used in hunting, the reason is that killing of game should be done in as humane (人道的) a way as possible. Some small handguns are more likely to wound the animal rather than kill it at once. Only long guns, rifles and shotguns are effective arms of hunting.People must understand that handguns and hunters are separate matters. Because most of the hunters use a rifle or shotgun, there is no reason why their search for game and sport should be affected by handgun control. Mixing the anti-hunting matter with the handgun matter confuses the killing of animals with killing of people.1.In the writer’s opinion, people should use handguns only when .A. hunters shoot at animalsB. they aim at a criminalC. objects are under controlD. objects are only small tin cans in the backyard2.According to the writer, hunting is not affected by handgun control because .A. hunters can use knives rather than guns to hunt animalsB. state government encourages hunters to use other gunsC. nobody cares what weapons are used to kill animalsD. most hunters use rifles rather than handguns3、This passage mainly talks about .A. the relation between hunting and handgun controlB. the importance of aim practiceC. how handgun control affects huntingD. different types of guns used in huntingA.Which of the followings is NOT often used by the hunters？A ______.A.shogunsB.long gunC.rifleD.handgun5.Why should the handgun be controlled in hunting？Because______.A.it is dangerousB.it is widely used among the youthC.it is commonD.it often wounds the animals but not kills themBGiven Australia’s size and the fact that early settlements were far apart, Australian society is remarkably homogeneous (同种的). Its citizens are fundamentally prosperous and the way of life in the major cities and towns is much the same however many miles divide them. It takes a sharp ear to identify regional accents. However, there is some difference in lifestyle between city dwellers and the country people. Almost 90 per cent of the population lives in the fast-paced cities along the coast and has little more than a passing familiarity with the desert. The major cities preserve pockets of colonial heritage, but the overall impression is modern, with new buildings reflecting the country’s youth. In contrast, the rural communities tend to be slow-moving and conservative. For many years, Australia was said to have “ridden on the sheep’s back”, a reference to wool being the country’s main money earner. However, the wool industry is no longer dominant. Much of Australia’s relatively sound economy is now achieved from natural coal and wheat, and by being the largest diamond producer in the world. Newer industries such as tourism and wine making are also increasingly important. Australians are generally friendly and relaxed, with a self-deprecating sense of humor. On the whole, Australia is a society without hierarchies (等级制度), an attitude generally held to stem from its prisoner beginnings.Yet, contrary to widespread belief, very few Australians have true prisoner origins. Within only one generation of the arrival of the First Fleet in 1788, Australia had become a nation of immigrants. Originally coming almost entirely from the British Isles, today one in three Australians comes from elsewhere. Australia’s liberal postwar immigration policies led to an influx of survivors from war-torn Europe, most notably Greeks, Italians, Poles and Germans.The emphasis has shifted in recent years and today the majority of new immigrants are from Southeast Asia. Today Australia is a ‘blend of nations’and although some racism exists, it has generally been asuccessful experiment and the country is justifiably proud to have one of the most harmonious multicultural communities in the world.6、What does the writer mean by saying “It takes a sharp ear to identify regional accents.” in the first paragraph?A. Australians speak Standard English with no local accents whatsoever.B. You have to practice a lot to learn to understand the different accents.C. The Australian regional accents are very difficult to understand indeed.D. There is not much difference between the accents in different areas of Australia.7、Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A.Most Australians have ancestors who were prisoners.B.The Australian economy is dependent on sheep exports.C.The majority of people living in Australia come from Europe.D.The pace of life is different in the city and in the country.8、The underlined pronoun ‘it’in the final paragraph refers to “_______”.Asia9、Wecaninferfromthepassagethat_____.A.therearenosignsofAustralia’scolonialpastinitsmoderncitiesB.Australia’srecentimmigrationpolicyencouragesimmigrantsfromSoutheastAsiaC.immigrantsfromSoutheastAsiahavebroughtracialproblemsD.“ridingonsheep’sback”resultedinslowdevelopmentinruralcommunities10、ThispassagemainlyfocusesonAustralia’s______.A.societyB.economyC.racialproblemsD.HistoryCIncitieswithrentcontrol,thecitygovernmentsetsthemaximumrentthatalandl ord(房东)canchargeforanapartment.Supportersofrentcontrolarguethatitprotects peoplewhoarelivinginapartment.Theirrentcannotincrease;therefore,theya renotindangeroflosingtheirhomes.However,thecriticssaythatafteralongti me,ndlordsknowthattheycannotincre asetheirprofits.Therefore,theyinvestinotherbusinesseswheretheycanincr easetheirprofits.Theydonotinvestinnewbuildingswhichwouldalsoberent-co ntrolled.Asaresult,newapartmentsarenotbuilt.Manypeoplewhoneedapartmen tscannotfindany.Accordingtothecritics,theendresultofrentcontrolisasho rtageofapartmentsinthecity.

In Beach Plaza Hotel a 24-hour maid is available.BMy mom takes pride in the fact that I was talking in three and four word sentences before I was ten months old. Some say it’s a gift while others simply think I talk too much.As my thirties came to a close, I found myself reflecting on my life. I’m very happy and have no significant regrets. However, when I looked back on those times of difficulty, I saw a clear common denominator(特征); I didn’t seem to know when tostop talking. Whether it was hurting someone’s feelings, or having carelessly told a secret, the incident could have been avoided had I closed my mouth sooner. So I decided to practice the power of quiet.To take this step, I needed to understand how people could sit comfortably in a group and not talk. Why does my husband feel completely content to say nothing in a conversation? He’s highly intelligent and has wonderful opinions but he’ll sit quietly and just listen. Even when he’s asked a pointed question, he’ll answer with few words while still communicating effectively. What a talent!Can you imagine being happy just listening? In surveying those I know who talk less than I do, I got two answers—they either didn’t feel confident enough to speak up, or they just didn’t feel the need to participate in the conversation. Of course there were other reasons for not talking, but these were the two most popular answers. The first one didn’t work for me. I’m just fine letting people know what I think about them, and hopefully it will make the conversation much more interesting. The second one didn’t work either. I do feel the need to participate. I feel it physically like an electrical pulse through my body; sometimes it’s so strong that it causes me to behave badly in the form of interrupting or speaking in an unusually loud voice.I had to look further.An interesting thing happened on this journey to the power of quiet. During my weekly yoga class, it came to me like an answer so clear that the words rang in my head like soft, heavenly bells.I talked too much so people would know I cared about them. It was my way of taking care of those I love. I decided before my fortieth birthday, that from that day forward, those around me would know I loved them, and cared what they thought and felt, but I was going to practice the power of quiet.As my forty-second birthday approaches, I can say that deciding to talk less has been more about focusing on quality rather than quantity. I’ve found that listening more shows those who I care about that I really do care how they feel. Now when I break in, it means more to them. Oh, sure, I still have my short periods of talking too much, but for the most part this has been one resolution that I can call a success.25. In Paragraph 3 the writer mentions her husband mainly ______.A. to show how one communicates effectivelyB. to give an example of those who have the power of quietC. to explain the reason for his silence in a conversationD. to give her high opinion of his communication skills26. By “I had to look further”, the writer means she had to ______.A. try harder to prevent herself from talking too muchB. look into the future in order to succeed in practicing the power of quietC. survey people in other areas who talk littleD. find out other reasons why she should talk less27. Which of the following best describe the writer’s character?A. Kind but pessimistic.B. Stubborn and sensitiveC. Selfless but proud.D. Loving and active.CWhen people ask me to name typical British dishes, I have, however, struggled to think of an answer. Yes, we do have our own national dishes. We do have fish and chips, and we have other dishes like roast dinner and shepherd’s pie. But how much do we actually eat them?Fish and chips, is made up of battered (绞碎的) fish and chips, which is often accompanied by a thick paste (酱). The majority of British people really do love this dish but it is not something that we would eat, say, on a weekly basis. It’s also not usually something that we would cook at home. The British people associate this dish with the seaside and it’s something that will usually be eaten on a day trip there, bought from a takeaway fish and chip shop.Another favourite British dish is roast dinner. This is made up of roast meat, usually chicken or beef, accompanied by roast vegetables and a meat sauce called gravy (肉汁). It is usually eaten on a Sunday, perhaps for a special family dinner. It can either be cooked at home or eaten in a traditional pub. We also eat a more elaborate version of this for our Christmas dinner.Although we do have our traditional dishes, our diet has been greatly influenced by other countries. You can find a wide range of international foods in the supermarket or varieties of different restaurants on our high streets. A famous saying amongst British people is that our national dish is now chicken tikka masala, a dish which is heavily influenced by Indian cuisine.Don’t expect to be served a traditional dish if you ever get invited for dinner ata British family’s home!28. What do you know about fish and chips?A. It is a seaside dish eaten on a day trip there.B. It is a Sunday dish for a family dinner.C. It is a home cooking for the British people.D. It is an international food from India.29. What is special about roast dinner?A. It is only served for Christmas dinner.B. It is the most popular with foreigners.C. It is the top choice for a family dinner.D. It comes from a foreign cuisine.30. Which of the following might be an international food?A. Fish and chips.B. Roast dinner.C. Shepherd’s pie.D. Chicken tikka masala.31. What is the purpose of the text?A. To make an advertisement for British Dishes.B. To explore some British national dishes.C. To introduce the British table manners.D. To tell about British Eating Habits.D"Everybody is a genius.But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree,it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid."—Albert EinsteinIf you have a kid with special needs in the school system,chances are you have come across that saying hanging on a classroom wall.My five-year-old daughter Syona has cerebral palsy（脑瘫）and it means,combined with her communication and sight problems,that normal standard isn't always an accurate measure of her abilities. By now you have probably heard about Chris Ulmer,the 26-yearold teacher in Jacksonville,Florida,who starts his special education class by calling up each student individually to give them much admiration and a high-five.I couldn't help but be reminded of Syona's teacher and how she supports each kid in a very similar way.Ulmer recently shared a video of his teaching experience."I have seen their confidence increase rapidly."he said.All I could think was: how lucky these students are to have such good teachers.Syona's teacher has an attitude that can best be summarized in one word: awesome.Her teacher doesn't focus on what can't be done—she focuses on what can be done.Over the past several months,my husband Dilip and I have seen Syona's confidence increase tenfold.She uses words she wouldn't have thought of using before.She recently told me about her classmate's trip to Ecuador and was very proud when I understood her on the first try.I actually wonder what the influence would be if we did something similar to what Ulmer does with his students in our home.We've recently started our day by reminding each other of the good qualities we all possess.If we are reminded of our strengths on a regular basis,we will become increasingly confident about progress and success.32.What does the author think of Albert Einstein's saying?A.Funny.B.Strange.C.True.D.Confusing.33.What can we learn about Syona's teacher?A.She is Syona's favorite teacher.B.She puts Einstein's quote on the wall.C.She helps increase her students' confidence.D.She uses videos to teach her students.34.Why did Syona feel proud in the thirdparagraph? .A.Her progress was appreciated by her parents.B.Her mother knew what she expressed.C.She had developed a positive attitude.D.She had been to Ecuador with her classmate.35.What change has taken place in the author's family?A.They've invited Ulmer's students to their home.B.They visit Ulmer's classroom regularly.C.They feel grateful to people in their lives.D.They give each other praise every day.第二节：七选五（每小题2分，共10分）Small talk is a good way to make friends. If you travel to other countries or have friends from abroad, do you know how to use small talk to make conversation?In Britain, the best topic is the weather. British weather is changing all the time. 36Besides weather, it’s good to talk about gardens with British. You could say “Those roses look really beautiful, don’t they?”37 .So it’s also nice to start with “What a lovely dog! What is his name?”In America, people like to talk about sports news ,such as American football and basketball. 38 So you might say “It’s a nice shirt! Where did you get it?”Weather is a safe topic there, too.39 Don’t ask people “How old are you?” Never ask: “How much money do you make?”It makes people uncomfortable. Don’t ask strangers weather they are married. 40 There are others in our daily life.A. You can start chatting by saying “It’s a lovely day today, isn’t it?”B. There are also a lot of topics to avoid during small talk.C. Friends are important to us all, but how to make friends is a problem.D. Americans also talk about clothes.E. Politics or religion is not a good topic.F. English people love their pets.G. Only a few topics are not used for small talk.第三部分：英语知识运用（共两节，满分45分）(2013)第一节：完形填空（共20小题，每小题1.5分，满分30分）阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D中)，选出可以填入空白处。

河南周口中英文学校高考英语冲刺—阅读理解总汇A study involving 8,500 teenagers from all social backgrounds found that most of them areignorant when it comes to money. The findings, the first in a series of reports from NatWest thathas started a five-year research project into teenagers and money, are particularly worrying asthis generation of young people is likely to be burdened with greater debts man any before.University tuition fees (学费)are currently capped at ￡3,000 annually, but this will bereviewed next year and the Government is under enormous pressure to raise the ceiling.In the research, the teenagers were presented with die terms of four different loans but 76per cent failed to identify the cheapest. The young people also predicted that they would beearning on average ￡ 31.000 by the age of 25, although the average salary for those aged 22 to29 is just￡ 17,815. The teenagers expected to be in debt when they finished university or training,although half said that they assumed the debts would be less than ￡ 10.000. Average debts for ，363.graduates are ￡ 12Stephen Moir, head of community investment at the Royal Bank of Scotland Group whichowns NatWest, said. "The more exposed young people are to financial issues, and the youngerthey become aware of them, the more likely they arc to become responsible, forward-planningadults who manage their finances confidently and effectively."Ministers are deeply concerned about the financial pressures on teenagers and youngpeople because of student loans and rising housing costs. They have just introduced new lessonsin how to manage debts. Nikki Fairweathcr aged 15 from St Helens, said that she had benefitedfrom lessons on personal finance, but admitted that she still had a lot to learn about money.1. Which of the following can be found from the five-year research project?A. Students understand personal finances differently.B. University tuition fees in England have been rising.C. Teenagers tend to overestimate their future earnings.D. The students' payback ability has become a major issue.2. The phrase "to raise the ceiling" in paragraph 2 probably means "______".A. to raise the student loansB. to improve the school facilitiesC. to increase the upper limit of the tuitionD. to lift the school building roofs3. According to Stephen Moir, students_______.A. are too young to be exposed to financial issuesB. should learn to manage their finances wellC. should maintain a positive attitude when facing loansD. benefit a lot from lessons on personal finance4. What can we learn from the passage?A. Many British teenagers do not know money matters wellB. Teenagers in Britain are heavily burdened with debts.C. Financial planning is a required course at college.D. Young people should become responsible adults.( B )Astronauts aboard the space station celebrated a space first on Wednesday by drinking waterthat had been recycled from their urine(尿), sweat and water got from air. They said “cheers,” clicked drinking bags and toasted NASA workers on the ground.The urine recycling system is needed for astronaut stations on the moon and Mars. It also willsave NASA money because it won’t have to ship up as much water to the station by spaceimpo rtant as the space station is about to expand from threeshuttles or rockets. Besides, it’speople living on board to six.The recycling system had been brought up to the space station last November by spaceshuttle Endeavour, but it couldn’tbe used until samples(样品) were tested back on earth. Sowhen it came time to actually drink up, NASA made a big deal of it. The three-man crew stoodholding their drinks and thanked engineers in two NASA centers that worked on the system.American astronaut Michael “This is something that had been the stuff of science fiction,” Barratt said before taking a small mouthful. “The taste is worth trying.”The new system takes the combined urine of the crew from the toilet, moves it to a big tank,where the water is boiled off, and the steam is collected. The rest of the urine is thrown away.Then the water steam is mixed with water from air, and then it goes through filters (过滤器).When six crew members are aboard it can make about 18 liters from urine in about 6 hours.“Some people may find the idea of drinking recycled urine distasteful, but it is also done onsaid Marybeth Eden, the spaceearth, but with a lot longer time between urine and the tap,” station’s national lab manager.The technology NASA developed for this system has already been used for quick waterpurification after the 2004 Asian tsunami.5. According to the text, the recycling system is important because __________.A. it makes traveling to the moon for the average person possibleB. it can help meet the need for more water after the crew is expandedC. with it NASA won’t need to ship any water up the space stationD. it protects the environment in space by reducing the amount of waste6. From Paragraph 5 we can know __________.A. the process of recycling urineB. the effect of the recycling systemC. the theory behind the recycling systemD. an opinion on recycling urine7. What did Eden say about recycled urine and the recycling system?A. The taste of recycled urine is not as good as that of common water.B. The recycling system has made a science fiction story come true.C. The idea of drinking recycled urine makes astronauts feel unpleasant.D. It takes a longer time on earth to make water from urine than in space.8. What is the best title for the passage?A. The Research of NASA Has Made Great ProgressB. New Technology Is Used in the Space StationC. Drink up: Space Station Recycles Urine to WaterD. Good News:Water Recycled from Urine Tastes Good( C )Perhaps the most famous theory, the study of body movement, was suggested by ProfessorRay Birdwhistell. He believes that physical appearance is often culturally programmed. In otherwords, we learn our looks—we are not born with them. A baby has generally informed face features. A baby, according to Birdwhistell, learns where to set the eyebrows by looking at those around-family and friends. This helps explain why the people of some areas of the United States look so much alike, new Englanders or Southerners have certain common face features that cannot be explained by genetics(遗传学). The exact shape of the mouth is not set at birth, it is learned after. In fact, the final mouth shape is not formed until well after new teeth are set. For many, this can be well into grown-ups. A husband and wife together for a long time often cometo look alike. We learn our looks from those around us. This is perhaps why in a single countryarea where people smile more than those in other areas. In the United States, for example, the South is the part of the country where the people smile most frequently. In New England theysmile less, and in the western part of New York State still less. Many southerners find cities suchas New York cold and unfriendly, partly because people on Madison Avenue smile less than people on Peachtree Street in Atlanta. Georgia. People in largely populated areas also smile and greet each other in public less than people in small towns do.9. Ray Birdwhistell believes that physical appearance _______.A. has little to do with cultureB. has much to do with cultureC. is ever changingD. is different from place to place10. According to the passage, the final mouth shape is formed _______.A. before birthB. as soon as one’s teeth are newly setC. sometime after new teeth are setD. around 15 years old11. Ray Birdwhistell can tell what area of the United States a person is from by _______.A. how much he or she laughsB. how he or she raises his or her eyebrowsC. what he or she likes bestD. the way he or she talks12. This passage might have been taken out of a book dealing with ________.A. physicsB. chemistryC. biologyD. none of the above( D )Wondered how plants talk to each other? They do not have the same language as humansbut they have their own ways．Recent research by scientists at Kyoto University, Japan, describes how the Lima bean（利马豆）plant protects itself and its neighbours from the red spider．It sends out clear distress（危难）signals．It's not like they make strange noises to attract attention, though．It does it very silently．The Lima bean plant releases chemicals to send the message of a troublesome intruder（闯入者）to all its neighbours．That is the signal for all the plants to get their defense system working．Plants all over the world have qualities, which make then special in their own ways．Some plants produce chemicals that give the leaves and stem a strong taste or smell of chillies（辣椒）, spices and herbs used for cooking．These substances either discourage or even kill insects and other animals that might try to eat the plant．Since plants cannot escape from creatures that feed on them, many have evolved features to protect them against plant eating animals．The two main defenses that plants use are armour（盔甲）and poison．In the Galapagos Islands cacti grow a thick stalk（花梗）more than two meters tall putting the tender leaves well out of the reach of the giant tortoises．Japanese azaleas（杜鹃花）produce poisonous chemicals that let them survive even among hungry deer．Some of these chemical substances may even prevent the growth of nearby plants．For example, radishes（小萝卜）produce a chemical substance, which slows the growth ofother vegetables．Similarly, walnut and apple trees cannot grow together because chemicalsreleased from walnut tree kill the apple tree．So it is not just a self-survival instinct that plants have．They also have an instinct forcommunity feeling, as the Lima bean plant shows．Nature is full of many surprises!13．What do we know about the Lima bean plant?A．It can kill other plants．B．It can send out signals silently．C．It can turn to farmers for help．D．It can make noises to call attention．14．The Lima bean plant sends message to its neighbours so that ________ ．A．it can gather strength to fight back B．it can get neighbours' timely helpC．they get ready to fight against the intruder D．they help each other to defend themselves15．Why do some plants produce chemicals like chillies, spices and herbs?A．To be used for cooking．B．To get rid of the enemies．C．To show their own nature．D．To kill insects and animals．16．In Paragraph 3, cacti is used an example to show________ ．A. where intellectual plants can be foundB. what plants in the Galapagos Islands look likeC. why plants have to fit in with the environmentD. how plants have evolved to protect themselves( E )A is for always getting to work on time.B is for being extremely busy.C is for the conscientious（勤勤恳恳的）way you do your job.You may be all these things at the office, and more. But when it comes to getting ahead,experts say, the ABCs of business should include a P, for politics, as in office politics.areerDale Carnegie suggested as much more than 50 years ago: Hard work alone doesn’t ensure c advancement. You have to be able to sell yourself and your ideas, both publicly and behind thescenes. Yet, despite the obvious rewards of engaging in office politics—a better job, a raise,praise—many people are still unable or unwilling—to “play the game”．“People assume that office politics involves some manipulative（工于心计的）behavior,” saysDeborah Comer, an assistant professor of management at Hofstra University. “But politics derive（游说）and forming associations. It can mean beingfrom the word ‘polite’. It can mean lobbyingkind and helpful, or even trying, to please your superior, and then expecting something inreturn.”In fact, today, experts define office politics as proper behaviors used to pursue one’s ownself-interest in the workplace. In many cases, this involves some forms of socializing within theoffice environment—not just in large companies, but in small workplaces as well.“The first t hing people are usually judged on is their ability to perform well on a consistent. Lewis , a management psychologist. “But if two or three candidates are up forbasis,” says Neil Pa promotion, each of whom has reasonably similar ability, a manager is going to promote theperson he or she likes best. It’ s simple human nature.”Yet, psychologists say, many employees and employers have trouble with the concept ofpolitics in the office. Some people, they say, have an idealistic vision of work and what it takes tosucceed. Still others associate politics with flattery, fearful that, if they speak up for themselves,they may appear to be flattering their boss for favors.Experts suggest altering this negative picture by recognizing the need for some self-promotion.17. “Office politics”（Line 2,Para.4）is used in the passage to refer to____.A. the political views and beliefs of office workersB. the interpersonal relationships within a companyC. the various qualities required for a successful careerD. the code of behavior for company staff18. To get promoted, one must not only be competent but____.A. avoid being too outstandingB. get along well with his colleaguesC. honest and loyal to his companyD. give his boss a good impression19. The author considers office politics to be ____.A. unwelcome at the workplaceB. bad for interpersonal relationshipsC. an important factor for personal advancementD. indispensable to the development of company culture20. It is the author’ s view that____.A. self-promotion does not necessarily mean flatteryB. hard work contributes very little to one’ s promotionC. many employees fail to recognize the need of flatteryD. speaking up for oneself is part of human nature( F )The latest research suggests a more prosaic, democratic, even puritanical view of the world.The key factor separating geniuses from the merely accomplished is not a divine spark. It’deliberateI.Q., a generally bad predictor of success, even in realms like chess. Instead, it’spractice. Top performers spend more hours (many more hours) rigorously practicing their craft. Ifyou wanted to picture how a typical genius might develop, you’d take a girl who possessed aslightly above average verbal ability. It wouldn’t have to be a big talent, just enough so that shemight gain some sense of distinction. Then you would want her to meet, say, a novelist, whocoincidentally shared some similar biographical traits. Maybe the writer was from the same town,had the same ethnic background, or, shared the same birthday.This contact would give the girl a vision of her future self. It would give her some idea of afascinating circle she might someday join. It would also help if one of her parents died when shewas 12, giving her a strong sense of insecurity and fueling a desperate need for success. Armedwith this ambition, she would read novels and life stories of writers without end. This would giveher a primary knowledge of her field. She’d be able to see new writing in deeper ways and quickly perceive its inner workings.Then she would practice writing. Her practice would be slow, painstaking and error-focused. Bypracticing in this way, she delays the automatizing process. Her mind wants to turn conscious,newly learned skills into unconscious, automatically performed skills. By practicing slowly, bybreaking skills down into tiny parts and repeating, she forces the brain to internalize a betterpattern of performance. Then she would find an adviser who would provide a constant stream offeedback, viewing her performance from the outside, correcting the smallest errors, pushing herinto ato take on tougher challenges. By now she is redoing problems― how do I get charactersroom― dozens and dozens of times. She is establishing habits of thought she can call upon inorder to understand or solve future problems.the ability to develop a The primary trait she possesses is not some mysterious genius. It’spurposeful, laborious and boring practice routine. The latest research takes some of the magicout of great achievement. But it underlines a fact that is often neglected.

The passage mainly deals with _____.A. the function of I.Q. in cultivating a writerB. the relationship between genius and successC. the decisive factor in making a geniusD. the way of gaining some sense of distinction22. By reading novels and writers’ stories, the girl could ______.A. come to understand the inner structure of writingB. join a fascinating circle of writers somedayC. share with a novelist her likes and dislikesD. learn from the living examples to establish a sense of security23.

What can be concluded from the passage?.A. A fuelling ambition plays a leading role in one’s successB. A responsible adviser is more important than the knowledge of writing.C. As to the growth of a genius, I.Q. doesn’t matter, but just his/her efforts.D. What really matters is what you do rather than who you are.( G )Boiler rooms are often dirty and steamy, but this one is clean and cool. Fox Point is a very new47-unit living building in South Bronx, one of the city’s poorest areas. Two-thirds of the people living there are formerly (以前) homeless people, whose rent is paid by the government. The restare low-income families. The boiler room has special equipment, which produces energy for electricity and heat. It reuses heat that would otherwise be lost to the air, reducing carbon emissions (碳排放) while also cutting costs.Fox Point is operated by Palladia, a group that specializes in providing housing and services toneedy people. Palladia received support from Enterprise Community Partners (ECP), which helpsbuild affordable housing by providing support to housing developers.ECP has created national standards for healthy, environmentally (环境方面) clever and affordable homes which are called the Green Communities Standards. These standards includewater keeping, energy saving and the use of environmentally friendly building materials. Meetingthe standards increases housing construction costs by 2%, which is rapidly paid back by lower running costs. Even the positioning of a window to get most daylight can help save energy.mayor, plans to create 165,000 affordable housing units for Michael Bloomberg, New York’sgreen-house-gas emissions come from 500, 000 New Yorkers. Almost 80% of New York City’sbuildings, and 40% of those are caused by housing. So he recently announced that the city’s Department of Housing and Preservation and Development (DHPD) , whose duty is to developand keep the city’s supply of affordable housing, will require all its new projects to follow ECP green standards.Similar measures have been taken by other cities, such as Cleveland and Denver, but New York’s DHPD is the largest city developer of affordable housing in the country.25. What is the purpose of describing the boiler room in the first paragraph?A. To explain the measures the city takes to care for poor people.B. To suggest that affordable housing is possible in all areas.C. To show how the environment- friendly building works.D. To compare old and new boiler rooms.26. What is an advantage of the buildings meeting the Green Communities Standards?A. Lower running costs.B. Costing less in construction.C. Less air to be lost in hot days.D. Better prices for homeless people.27. It can be learned from the text that _______.A. New York City is seriously pollutedin New York CityB. people’s daily life causes many carbon emissionsC. a great number of people in New York City don’t have houses to live inD. some other cities have developed more affordable housing than New York City28. What is the main purpose of this text?A. To call on people to pay more attention to housing problems.B. To prove that some standards are needed for affordable housing.C. To ask society to help homeless people and low-income families.D. To introduce healthy, environ- mentally clever and affordable housing.。

AA woman saw three old men with long white beards sitting in her front yard, hungry. She did not know them but invited the m in. “ We do not go into a house together,” they replied. And she asked why.One of the old men explained: “His name is Wealth,” pointing to one of his friends, “ and he is Success, and I am Love.” Then he added, “ Now go in and discuss with your husba nd which one of us you want in your home.”The woman went in and told her husband what had happened. Her husband was overjoyed. “How nice!” he said. “Since that is the case, let Wealth come in and fill our home with wealth!” His wife disagreed, “My dear, why not invite Success?” Their daughter-in-law gave her own suggestion: “Wouldn’t it be better to invite Love? Our home will be filled with love then.” “Let’s heed our daughter-in-law’s advice,” said the husband to his wife. “ Go out and invite Love to be our guest.”Love got up and started walking toward the house. The other two also got up and followed him. Surprised, the woman asked Wealth and Success: “ I only invited Love, why are you coming in?”The old men replied together. “ If you had invit ed Wealth or Success, the other two of us would have stayed out. But since you invited Love, wherever he goes, we go with him. Wherever there is Love, there is also Wealth and Success!”21.The underlined word “ heed” means “”.A．give B．refuse C．follow D．offer22.What’s the best title of the passage?A．The importance of Love. B．An old couple and Love.C．Which one is the best choice? D．Wealth, success and love.23.From the story, we can know that the daughter-in-law is full of .A．care B．imagination C．love D．clevernessBMom and Dad are two of the most important people in your life. You probably see atleast one of them every day. If your dad worships(崇拜) the Pittsburgh Stealers, you’re likely to grow up being a big fan of that football team. And if your mom lovesto read, you just might grow up carrying a book wherever you go, just like she does.Here are four ways you can stay close and build a strong relationshipwith your parents.(1)Spent time together. How much time do you spend just enjoying each other’s company?Instead of playing a computer game or watching TV, maybe you can ask your mom anddad to play with you. Go outside together, try a board game, or read a book out.(2)Share your feelings and ask for help. Your mom or dad might not knowthat you’re having a problem. Tell a parent if you’re sad or struggling with something.(3)Show your care. Some families are always kissing, hugging, and saying“I love you”. It’s important to show that you care for each other. In additionto kisses and hugs, kids and parents show their love by respecting each other, being caring, polite, and thoughtful.(4)Whatever you do, do your best! You don’t have to be perfect, but when you do your best, you make your parents proud. It makes them happy to see howyou’re turning into such a great kid. Why? Because it lets them know they’re doinga good job.24.The first paragraph mainly tells us .A. the Pittsburgh Stealers is a famous football teamB. the kid will like reading if his or her mother likesC. parents influence their kids greatlyD. we should follow our parents’ hobbies25.In the third paragraph, the author suggests that .A. you keep your parents company all the timeB. you stay at home with your parentsC. you enjoy games when your parents watch TVD. you do something together with your parents26.The underlined part “they’re doing a good job” means .A. they have very good jobsB. their jobs can bring the family much moneyC. they make you become a great kidD. they make you find a good job27.The text intends to tell us .A. parents are important to everyoneB. how we get along with our parentsC. to respect our parentsD. to share feelings with our parentsCAs we all know, ever since they were first put on the market in the early 1990s, genetically modified(GM,转基因) foods have been increasingly developed and marketed in many countries in the world, mainly on the basis of their promise to end the worldwide food crisis. But can GM technology solve world hunger problems? Even if it would, is it the best solution?Despite what it promises, GM technology actually has not increased the production potential of any crop. In fact, studies show that the most widely grown GM crop, GM soybeans, has suffered reduced productivity. For instance, a report that analyzed nearly two decades of research on major GM food crops shows that GM engineering has failed to significantly increase US crop production.Something else, however, has been on the rise, While GM seeds are expensive, GM companies tell farmers that they will make good profits by saving money on pesticides （杀虫剂）. On the contrary, US government data show that GM crops in the US have produced an overall increase in pesticide use compared to traditional crops. “The promise was that you could use less chemicals and boost production. But neither is true,” said Bill Christison, President of the US National Farm Coalition. At the same time, the authors of the book World Hunger: Twelve Myths argue that there actually is more than enough food in the world and that the hunger crisis is not caused by production, but by problems in food distribution and politics. These indeed deserve our efforts and money. Meanwhile, the rise in food prices results from the increased use of crops for fuel rather than food, according to a 2008 World Bank report.As a matter of fact, scientists see better ways to feed the world. Another World Bank report concluded that GM crops have little to offer to the challenges of worldwide poverty and hunger, because better ways out are available, among which “green” farming is supposed to be the first choice.28. The author develops the second paragraph mainly .A. by classificationB. by comparisonC. by exampleD. by process29.What does the underlined word “boost ” in the third paragraph probably mean?A. control.B. evaluateC.increase D.. obtain.30. GM companies promise farmers that they will benefit from ______________.A. use of less chemicalsB. practicing “green” farmingC. fair distribution of their cropsD. using more crops for fuel31. Which of the following best describes the attitude of the author towards GM technology?A. OptimisticB. DefensiveC.Casual D. DisapprovingD(NEW YORK) A French tourist highly praised for rescuing a two-year-old girl in Manhattan sa id he didn’t think twice before diving into the freezing East River. Tuesday’s Daily News said 29-year-old Julien Duret from France was the man who left the spot quickly after the rescue last Saturday.He lifted the little girl out of the water after she fell off the bank at the South Street Seaport museum. He handed the girl to her father, David Anderson, who had dived in after him.“I didn’t think at all,” Duret told the Daily News. “It happened very fast. I reacted very fast.”Duret, an engineer on vacation, was walking with his girlfriend along the pier(码头) when he saw something falling into the water. He thought it was a doll, but realized it was a child when he approached the river. Immediately, he took off his coat and jumped into the water.When he reached the girl, she appeared lifeless, he said. Fortunately, when she was out of the water, she opened her eyes.Anderson said his daughter slipped off the bank when he was adjusting his camera. An ambulance came later for her, said Duret, who was handed dry clothes from onlookers. Duret caught a taxi with his girlfriend shortly after.The rescue happened on the day before he left for France. Duret said he didn’t realize his story of heroism had greatly moved New York until he was leaving the city the next morning.“I don’t really think I’m a hero,” said Duret. “Anyone would do the same thing.”32. Why was Duret in New York?A. To meet his girlfriend.B. To spend his holiday.C. To work as an engineer.D. To visit the Andersons.33. What did Duret do shortly after the ambulance came?A. He was interviewed by a newspaper.B. He went to the hospital in the ambulance.C. He disappeared from the spot quickly.D. He asked his girlfriend for his dry clothes.34. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. Duret thought twice before he jumped into the cold water.B. Duret dived into the water before the girl’s father.C. The rescue happened on the day Duret left for France.D. Duret didn’t think he was brave enough to be a hero.35. What is probably the headline of this news report?A. A Careless FatherB. A Poor GirlC. Warm-hearted OnlookersD. Brave Frenchman Found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。
河南省周口中英文学校2019届高三上学期第一次月考 英语
周口中英文学校2018-2019上期高三年级摸底考试英语试题第二部分阅读理解（本大题共两节，每小题2分,共40分）第一节（共15小题，每小题2分，满分30分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的（A,B,C和D)中，选出最佳选项。
AThere are two types of people in the world. Although they have equal degree of health and wealth and other comforts of life, one becomes happy and the other becomes unhappy. This arises from the different ways in which they consider things, persons, events and the resulting effects upon their minds.People who are to be happy fi their attention on the convenience of things the pleasant parts of conversation, the well prepared dishes, the goodness of the wine and the fine weather. They enjoy all the cheerful things. Those who are to be unhappy thin and spea only of the opposite things. Therefore, they are continually dissatisfied. By their remars, they sour the pleasure of society, offend (hurt) many people, and mae themselves disagreeable everywhere. If this turn of mind was founded in nature, such unhappy persons would be the more to be pitied. The intention of criticiing(批评) and being dislied is perhaps taen up by imitation(模仿). It grows into a habit, unnown to its possessors. The habit may be strong, but it may be cured when those who have it realie its bad effects on their interests and tastes. I hope this little warning may be of service to them, and help them change this habit.Although in fact it is chiefly an act of the imagination, it has serious results in life since it brings on deep sorrow and bad luc. Those people offendmany others; nobody loves them, and no one treats them with more than the most common politeness and respect. This frequently puts them in bad temper and draws them into arguments. If they aim at getting some advantages in social position or fortune, nobody wishes them success. Nor will anyone start a step or spea a word to favor their hopes. If they bring on themselves public objections, no one will defend or ecuse them, and many will join to criticie their wrongdoings. These should change this bad habit and be pleased with what is pleasing, without worrying needlessly about themselves and others. If they do not, it will be good for others to avoid any contact(接触) with them. Otherwise, it can be disagreeable and sometimes very inconvenient, especially when one becomes mied up in their quarrels.21. People who are unhappy _______.A. always consider things differently from othersB. usually are affected by the results of certain thingsC. usually misunderstand what others thin or sayD. always discover the unpleasant side of certain things22. The phrase “sour the pleasure of society” most nearly means “_______”.A. have a good taste with social lifeB. mae others unhappyC. tend to please others openlyD. enjoy the pleasure of life23. We can conclude from the passage that _______.A. we should pity all such unhappy peopleB. such unhappy people are dangerous to social lifeC. people can get rid of the habit of unhappinessD. unhappy people can not understand happy persons24. If such unhappy persons insist on eeping the habit, the author suggests that people should _______.A. prevent any communication with themB. show no respect and politeness to themC. persuade them to recognie the bad effectsD. quarrel with them until they realie the mistaesBIt is quite reasonable to blame traffic jams, the cost of gas and the great speed of modern life, but manners on the road are becoming horrible．Everybody nows that the nicest men would become fierce tigers behind the wheel．It is all right to have a tiger in a cage, but to have one in the driver’s seat is another matter altogether.Road politeness is not only good manners, but good sense too．It taes the most cool-headed drivers great patience to give up the desire to beat bac when forced to face rude driving．On the other hand, a little politeness goes a long way towards reducing the possibility of quarrelling and fighting．A friendly nod or a wave of thans in answer to an act of politeness helps to create an atmosphere of good will and calm so necessary in modern traffic condition．But such behaviors of politeness are by no means enough．Many drivers nowadays don’t even seem able to recognie politeness when they see it.However, misplaced politeness can also be dangerous．Typical eamples are the driver who waves a child crossing the street at a wrong place into the path of oncoming cars that may be not able to stop in time．The same goes for encouraging old ladies to cross the road wherever and whenever they want to．It always amaes me that the highways are not covered with the dead bodies of these grannies (奶奶).An eperienced driver, whose manners are faultless, told me it would help if drivers learnt to correctly join in traffic stream without causing totalblocages that give rise to unpleasant feelings．Unfortunately, modern drivers can’t even learn to drive．Years ago, eperts warned us that the fast increase of the car ownership would demand more give-and-tae from all road users．It is high time for all of us to tae this message to heart.25．According to the passage, troubles on the road are often caused by .A．road conditions B．the behavior of the driversC．the speed of modern life D．the large number of cars26．In the writer’s opinion, .A．unsillful drivers should be punishedB．strict traffic rules are badly neededC．drivers should show road politeness properlyD. drivers should avoid traffic jams27． The underlined word “give-and-tae” in the passage means .A．politeness and impolitenessB．good manners and bad mannersC．willingness to give in to each other’s wishesD．offering help to others as much as possible28．What is the best title of the passage?A．Traffic Problems B．Road PolitenessC．Bad Manners on the Road D．Good Drivers and Bad DriversCClimate change，pollution，overuse of water and development are illing some of the world’s most famous rivers including China’s Yangte．India’s Ganges and Africa’s Nile．WWF said on Tuesday．At the global launch of its report “World’s Top 10 Rivers at Ris”，the group said many rivers could dry out. affecting hundreds of millions of people and illing unique aquatic(水生的)life．“If these rivers die，millions will lose their livelihoods，biodiversity(生物多样性)will be destroyed on a massive scale，there will be less fresh water and agriculture，resulting in less food security，”said．Rayi Singh，secretary —general of WWF—India．The report,launched ahead of“World Water Day”today，alsocited the Rio Grande in．the United States，the Meong and Indus in Asia，Europe’s Danube, La Plata in South America and Australia’s Murray—Darling as in need of greater protection．Rivers are the world’s main source of fresh water and WWF says about half of the available supply is already being used up．Dams have destroyed habitats and cut rivers off from their flood plains．while climate change could affect the seasonal water flows that feed them，the report said．Fish populations，the top source of protein and overall life support for hundreds of thousands of communities worldwide，are also being threatened, it found．The Yangte basin is one of the most polluted rivers in the world because of decades of heavy industrialiation，damming and huge influes(流入)of sediment (积淀)from land conversion.Climate change，including higher temperatures，also means serious consequences for fishery productivity，water supply and political security in Africa’s arid Nile basin．Tributaries(支流)flowing into the Ganges are drying up because of irrigation，WWF said．29．We can infer from the tet that _____.A．higher temperatures couldn’t affect fishery productivityB．rivers’dying out could affect food securityC．there are four Asian rivers mentioned in the passageD．the Yangte is polluted thans to the lac of enough tributaries 30．The top 10 rivers are fast dying as a result of the following ECEPT _____.A. climate change B．pollution C．wasting water D．dams31．WWF is probably a name of _____.A．a magaine B．a newspaper C．an organiation D．a reportDTwenty years ago, most eperts believed that differences in how boys and girls behaved were mainly due to differences in how they were treated by their parents, teachers, and friends. It’s hard to cling to that belief today. Recent research has shown that there are biological differences between boys and girls. Understanding these differences is important in raising and educating children. For eample, girls are born with more sensitive hearing than boys, and the difference increases as ids grow up. So when a grown man speas to a girl in what he thins is a normal voice, she may hear it as yelling. Conversely (反过), boys who appear to be inattentive in class may just be sitting too far away too hear the teacher.Liewise, girls are better in their epression of feelings. Studies reveal that negative emotions are seated in an area of the brain called the amygdala. Girls develop all early connection between this area and the cerebral corte (大脑皮层), enabling them to tal about their feelings. In boys these lins develop later. So if you as a troubled adolescent boy to tell you what his feelings are, he often cannot say much.Dr. Sa, an advocate of single-se education, points out that eeping boys and girls separate in the classroom has yielded striing educational, social, and interpersonal benefits. Therefore, parents and teachers should try to recognie, understand, and mae use of the biological differences that mae a girl a girl, and a boy a boy.32．What is the main idea of the passage?A. Boys tend to pay less attention in class than girls.B. Girls are better than boys in their ability to detect sounds.C. Single-se schools are not good because they eep boys and girls separate.D. Boys and girls behave differently because of biological differences. 33．Why do girls epress negative feelings better than boys?A. Girls are more emotional than boys.B. The lins between certain parts of the brain develop earlier in girls than in boys.C. The amygdala is located in different areas of the brain for boys and girls.D. Girls have more brain cells than boys.34．Which of the following does the author believe?A. Boys and girls should be educated in different ways.B. Girls need more training in communication.C. Parents should pay more attention to boys.D. Se differences should be ignored in education。

Sports can help us rela after wor or study.B. Sports can only mae us healthy physically.C. Sometimes we may hurt other players or ourselves when participating in sports activities.D. Basetball and volleyball are both collective sports.BI was selfish as a teenager．I usually spent my time thining about myself and taing care of my own needs．I let my older brother do most of the wor around the house until he left for college．I let my mom and dad worry about our bills and problems while I read boos, played, and lost myself in my own imagination．This didn't change even when I went to college either．I studied hard but only to mae my own life better．Even when I started to eplore my faith, it was only to increase my own happiness．I married after graduation and decided to start a family．Of course, I had no idea what hard nocs reality had in store for my selfish soul．Soon I found myself unemployed, deeply in debt, and with a new baby on the way．l found out that life has little sympathy for spoiled people．In fact, all of the struggles I was going through were beating the selfishness slowly out of me．Still,I didn't give up on happiness．I new that there must be a way to find it．I finally realied, however, that it had to include more than just my own needs, wants, and desires．The answer began to mae itself clear one night shortly after my baby boy was born．I got a bottle and held him in my arms．As I was feeding him I looed down and saw his big, innocent, trusting eyes．I smiled and taled to him．Then he smiled and I could feel my heart growing, epanding with love．I felt such peace and joy．At that moment I had a hint of the truth it is by growing our hearts with love that we find our happiness．Carolyn Arends wrote："The more people you let into your heart, the bigger your heart gets．The more love you get, the more love you have to give．It just eeps growing." So, eep loving, eep living and eep caring. eep growing your heart today, tomorrow, and always．25．What do we now about the author from the first paragraph?A．He often helped his brother with housewor．B．He studied hard for his family．C．He was concerned about his family．D．He put his own needs above others'．26．What did the author realie after he suffered in life?A．Spoiled people can't survive the hardship of lifeB．Spoiled people are never happy in life．C．Life is cruel to spoiled people．D．Selfishness is helpful．27．What can be inferred from the passage?A．The author loved ids．B．The author often fed his baby．C．The author realied the importance of happiness．D．When caring for his baby, the author got inspired．28．Which can be the best title of the passage?A．Loving Others, a Way to HappinessB．The Elder One Grows, the More He GetsC．Help Others, Help Oneself D．eep Growing to Live a Happy LifeCSometimes people call each other “scared-cat”. But have you ever thought about this epression? When a cat is frightened, its heart starts beating faster, its muscles get tense, and there are changes in the chemicals in its blood stream. Although the cat doesn't realie this, its body is getting ready for action. If the danger continues, the animal will do one of two things .It will protect itself, or it will run away as fast as it can.Something lie this also happens to people. When we are ecited, angry or seared by other feelings, our bodies go through many physical changes. Our hearts beat faster, and our muscles get tense. All of these changes mae us more alert and ready to react. We, too, get ready to defend ourselves or run.Human beings, however, have a problem that animals never face. If we give way to our feelings and let them tae over, we can get into trouble. Have you ever said something in anger orhit somebody and regretted it later? Have you ever shouted at a teacher, told someone you were lonely, or said you were in love, and then wished later you had ept your mouth shut? It isn't always clever to epress your feelings freely.Does this mean that it's smarter always to hide our feelings? No! If you eep feelings of anger, sadness hidden away or bottled up inside, your body stays tense. Physical illnesses can develop, and you can feel disturbed badly inside. It can actually be bad for your health. It isn’t good to eep pleasant feelings inside either; all feelings need to be epressed.Feelings that you eep all bottled up inside, don't just go away. It's as if you bought some bananas and put them in a cupboard. You might not be able to see them, but before you'd smell them. And if you opened the cupboard, chances are that you’d see little fruit flies flying all over them. They are bad.You can try to treat feelings as if they were bananas in the cupboard. You can hide them and you can pretend they don't eist, but they'll still be around. And at last you'll have to deal with them, just lie those bananas.29. When people and animals are aroused by anger or fear, .A. they feel very regretful immediatelyB. they may get ready to attac or run awayC. their hearts beat either faster or slowerD. their muscles get neither tense nor relaed30. Why do human beings get into trouble according to the passage?A. They are usually not as alert as animalsB. They sometimes can’t control their feelingsC. They always do something wrong to other peopleD. They don’t pay attention to their physical changes31. What can we infer from the passage?A. Feelings will gradually disappear when you hold them inB. Bananas stay fresh longer when they are in a cupboardC. Holding in your feelings may lead to unpleasant resultsD. It’s good for your health to eep pleasant feelings insideDIt is believed that some of animals thin a great deal. Many of them are lie children in their sports. Some birds are very lively in their sports; and the same is true with some insects. The ants, hardworing as they are, have their times for play. They run races; they wrestle; and sometimes they have moc fights together. Very busy must be their thoughts while engaged in these sports.Animals thin much while building their houses. The bird searches for what it can use in building its nest, and in doing this it thins. The beavers thin as they build their dams and their houses. They thin in getting their materials, and also in arranging them, and in plastering them together with mud. Some spiders build houses which could scarcely have been made ecept by some thining creature.As animals thin, they learn. Some learn more than others. The parrot learns to tal, though in some other respects it is quite stupid. The mocing bird learns to imitate a great many different sounds. The shepherd dog does not now as much about most things as some other dogs, and yet he understands very well how to tae care of sheep.Though animals thin and learn, they do not mae any real improvement in their ways of doing things, as men do. Each ind of bird has its own way of building a nest, and it is always the same way. They have no new fashions, and learn none from each other.It is plain that, while animals learn about things by their senses as we do, they do not thin nearly as much about what they learn, and this is the reason why they do not improve more rapidly. Even the wisest of them, as the elephant and the dog, do not thin very much about what they see and hear. Nor is this all. There are some things that we understand, but about which animals now nothing. They have no nowledge of anything that happens outside of their own observation. Their minds are so much unlie ours that they do not now the difference between right and wrong.32. Why does the author mention that some birds and insects are very lively in their sports?A. To illustrate that some animals probably thin in the sports.B. To tell us that some birds and insects are more lively than others.C. To show us that ants are the cleverest insects in the animal ingdom.D. To attract readers by introducing some interesting facts about animals.33. “Animals thin much while building their houses” because ________.A. they have to communicate with each other in getting their materialB. they have to calculate something to arrange all the materialC. no animals have a must to build a “house” ecept some thining creaturesD. it is unimaginable to build “houses” without thining wor involved34. The underlined word "plain" in Paragraph 5 can be replaced by ______.A. flatB. clearC. vitalD. reasonable35. The author will probably agree that ________.A. animals can’t thin as a matter of factB. animals can’t really learn to do somethingC. animals can thin and learn but limitedlyD. each ind of animal has their own language第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。

AWhen we don’t understand each other’s language, we can talk with the help of signs.A Frenchman was once travelling in England. He could not speak English at all. One day he went into a restaurant and sat down at a table. When the waiter came, he opened his mouth, put his fingers in it, and took out again. He wanted to say . “Bring me something to eat.”The waiter soon brought him a cup of tea. The man moved his head from side to side. The waiter understood him and took the tea away. In a moment he came with a cup of coffee. But the man again refused it. He shook his head whenever the waiter brought him something to drink, for drinks are not food.When the man was going away, another man came in. This man saw the waiter , and he put his hand on his stomach. That was enough. In a few minutes there was a large plate of meat and vegetables on the table in front of him.So you see, we cannot understand the language of signs as well as we can understand the language of words.1.

一、高中英语阅读理解1．阅读理解Shark attacks not only disturb beach activities, but can affect associated tourist industries. Shark nets are a common solution to preventing shark attacks on beaches, but they cause dangers to sea ecosystems.Seeking a cost-effective way to monitor beach safety over large areas, we have developed a system called Shark Spotter. It combines artificial intelligence (AI), computing power, and drone (无人机) technology to identify and warn lifesavers to sharks near swimmers. The project is a cooperation between the University of Technology Sydney and The Ripper Group, which is pioneering the use of drones—called "Westpac Little Ripper Lifesavers"—in the search and rescue movement in Australia.SharkSpotter can detect sharks and other potential threats using real-time aerial imagery. The system analyses video from a camera attached to a drone to monitor beaches for sharks, send warnings, and conduct rescues. Developed with techniques known as "deep learning", the Shark Spotter system receives imagery from the drone camera and attempts to identify all objects in the scene. Once certain objects are detected, they are put into one of 16 categories: shark, whale, dolphin, rays, different types of boats, surfers, and swimmers.If a shark is detected, Shark Spotter provides both a visual sign on the computer screen and an audible warning to the operator. The operator confirms the warning and sends text messages from the Shark Spotter system to the Surf Life Savers for further action. In an emergency, the drone is equipped with a lifesaving flotation pod (漂浮仓) together with an electronic shark repellent (驱逐装置) that can be dropped into the water in cases where swimmers are in severe trouble, trapped in a rip, or if there are sharks close by.In January 2018, the Westpac Little Ripper Lifesavers was used to rescue two young swimmers caught in a rip at Lennox Head, NSW. The drone flew down the beach some 800 meters from the lifeguard station, and a lifesaving flotation pod was dropped from the drone. The complete rescue operation took 70 seconds.We believe Shark Spotter is a win-win for both marine life and beachgoers. This unique technology combines dynamic video image processing AI and advanced drone technology to creatively deal with the global challenge of ensuring safe beaches, protecting environments, and promoting tourism.（1）A Shark Spotter is ________.A. a solution to monitor sharksB. an equipment to identify lifesaversC. a technology to prevent shark attacksD. a project to pioneer the use of drones（2）When a shark is spotted near a swimmer, the system will ________.A. take timely actionB. analyze the visual dataC. classify the identified objectsD. turn on "deep learning" mode（3）The example in the 5th paragraph shows us that the system is ________.A. efficient in saving livesB. effective in detecting sharksC. smart in driving sharks awayD. practical over the whole sea area（4）What is the author's attitude towards the future of SharkSpotter?A.Doubtful.B.Optimistic.C.Negative.D.Objective.【答案】（1）C（2）A（3）A（4）B【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了一种旨在防止鲨鱼袭击的技术Shark Spotter 的工作原理以及重要意义。
