First, we usually just want to exchange stories, so we often break off the conversation. What's more, we people usually try not to step too closely into someone else. Besides, we'd rather be self-centered instead of paying enough attention to the other. "Listener burnout(精疲力竭)" often happens in a conversation when your friend keeps complaining(抱怨)over the same old problem. In this situation, we would offer quick advice to avoid protecting ourselves from "burnout". Here are some tips for a good listener.●Pay enough attention to the speaker by sitting close to him or her and look directly into his or her eyes.●Keep your ears on the talk to understand the speaker. Accept the other's feeling by replying like this, "That must be really hard for you.”●Ask open-ended questions(开放式问题)to draw out more information. For example, "How did that make you feel?" or " What are you going to do now?"●Be encouraging and use short words or even sounds such as "yes", "right", and "mmm...hmm" to push the talk continue.●Paraphrase (to express the same meaning by using different words) what the other is saying. For example, if the speaker says, "I am tired of the job.", you can reply, "So you said you hate your job. Am I understanding it right?"A conversation can be hard if the other person is giving you troubling replies. Don't be upset. Good listeners will keep listening and try the best to understand what the speaker is tryingto say before making the reply.(1)"Listener burnout" happens when ______.A we want to exchange storiesB we avoid stepping too close to someone elseC we care too much about ourselvesD we hear too many complaints(2)"How did that make you feel" is in a purpose of ______ according to the text.A showing attentionB accepting other's feelingsC getting moreinformation D showing your impatience(3)Which is the example of paraphrase for the girl's sentence below?A B CD(4)The last advice in the text talks about ______.A how to deal with troubling repliesB how to encourage the speakerC how to avoid making a troubling conversationD how to get the point of the speaker(5)Which can be the best title for the text?A I am all earsB The apple of my eyeC Don't lose heartD Two heads are better than one19.Notes: admission招生;unique独一无二的;extra-curricular课外的;CCTV闭路电视(1)______ isn't talked about in the text.A Free school busB CCTV for parentsC Address of the schoolD Admission requirements(2)What makes Attitude Kids outstanding?A School manners are paid much attention to.B Students would like to follow instructions.C Students play an active role in learning.D It's not necessary to listen to teachers.(3)There are ______ kinds of extra-curricular activities mentioned.A 6B 7C 8D 9(4)Which might be the missing title?A Skillful TeachersB Amazing ClassroomsC Excellent StudentsD Interesting Textbooks(5)The text could be ______.A discussions about educationB facts of a schoolC tips for children'sparents D a notice of a school trip四、五选五阅读20.根据短文内容,从下面五个选项中选出能填入文中空缺处的最佳选项,使短文意思通顺,内容完整。
河南2018届高三中学生标准学术能力诊断性测试2月英语试卷及答案
中学生标准学术能力诊断性测试2018年2月测试英语试卷本试卷共150分,考试时间100分钟。
第一部分阅读理解(共两节,满分60分)第一节(共15小题;每小题3分,满分45分)阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中,选出最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
Here is a collection of some TV series. For this list, we stick to those that have been released in recent years and we choose not to include TV hits like Game of Thrones or Sherlock.Stranger ThingsThis US television series is a combination of three genres (类型):m6 typical college movies where the losers rise up, the science fiction films about crazy scientists who reached their top in the 1980s and the horror movies written in the style of Stephen King. This show, starring Winona Ryder and a group of amazing kids, has managed to combine these genres so well that it has already acquired a vast army of fans worldwide.The Pillars of the EarthIt is set in the twelfth century, a time which is considered one of the darkest and most romantic periods in the history of England. Based on the best-selling novel written by Ken Follett, this TV show starring the brilliant Eddie Redmayne is widely recognized as one of the best historical TV dramas of recent years.MahabharataThis Indian Hindi-language series is liked by many people for being regarded as the simplest and the most fun way to learn about the age-old wisdom of the Indian people. It tells us about the kings and heroes who love, fight and make wise decisions. This drama is about the endless struggle between good and evil.The CrownThis story about the transformation of the young Princess Elizabeth into the queen shows everything about the British monarchy 君主制).It includes many storylines, each of which could be made into a separate TV show. The series focuses on the age-old themes of family, marriage and politics, and this is probably what makes The Crown win popularity.1. What do we know about Stranger Things?A.Stephen King determined its style.B.It consists of three children stories.C.Most of its central characters are kids.D.It's much more popular than Sherlock.2.Which aspect of the Pillars of the Earth is stressed in the text?A.Its background.B. Its staff.C. Its theme song.D. Its plot.3. Which TV series is more like a biography?A.Stranger Things.B.The Pillars of the Earth.C.Mahabharata.D.The Crown.4. Which of the following do the four TV series?A.They are highly thought of by the audience.B.Their storylines are relatively complex.C.They mainly discuss universal themes.D.Their original languages are English.BWhen I was growing up, the gold standard for cancer-themed tear-jerkers (催人泪下的故事)was “Something for Joey",a made-for-TV movie—ased on a true story—bout the bond between a big-time college football player and his fiercely loyal little brother who is dying of childhood leukemia (白血病).Lauren Grodstein takes a different approach with her fourth novel, “Our ShortHi story”. What sets Grodstein's novel apart is that the cancer diagnosis switches places: Jacob Neulander, the 6-year-old boy at the center 0the book, is cancer-free,while his mother, Karen, a 43-year-old political consultant (顾问)who raised Jacob onher own, has recently been found to have late-stage ovarian cancer. With the time Karen has left, she decides to write her son a book and fill it with everything she wants himto know: a catalog of the things that have made her happy; the story of how he was named; and an account of how, kicking and screaming, she allows Jacob to start spending timewith hbiological father, a one-term congressman 国会议员)from New Jersey who brokeKaren's heart and lives with his new wife along the Palisades.“I plan to be honest here,” Karen promises at the novel's beginning. “I plan to be extraordinarily honest. I will not edit out the truth; I will not try to make myself look better than I really was.” This total honesty leads Karen to admit uncomfortable truths to Jacob—the nig ht you were born was not the best night of my life,” she writes. “I was terrified; I was tired; I was sad'' —and, especially, to record the disturbance of feelings that run high after Jacob and his father meet for the first time and get along famously. They bond over Playmobil and Star Wars; she realizes, watching the two of them together, that Jacob is “exactly like him” Karen lets her paranoia(偏执狂)run wild. She imagines Jacob posing for a Christmas card with his new family after she's gone; she yells at him when he suggests that his father's wife would make him snacks on demand. This erupticn of maternal envy and anger is the dramatic high point of the novel —“I am your only mother!” Karen yells. The rest of “Our Short History,” unfortunately, is content to deliver the quieter pleasures for adults.5.What do we know about Something for Joey? A.It's essential fictional.B.It's intended for the movie theatre.C.It focuses on a college student's cancer.D.It has the common features of tear-jerkers.6.Which of the following is TRUE about Lauren Grodstein?() A. She is a political consultant.B.She has a unique writing style.C.She likes writing tear-jerkers most.D.She doesn't like something for Joey.7.What happens to Jacob?A.He's dying of cancer.B.He breaks his father's heart.C.He can visit his father any time.D.He gets along well with his father's family.8.What is this text?A.An announcement.B. A book review.C.An advertisement.D. A guide.CIf you're a college student, who could blame you for not paying attention to that mounting student loan (贷款)balance? But once you graduate, your new monthly student loan bill will be hard to ignore. After all, missing a payment isn't like turning in a term paper late; debt collectors aren't nearly as forgiving as your Chemistry 201 professor. What can you do to repay our student loans sooner?If you can manage it, repay your loans on the standard 1year repayment plan. You'll pay less interest and get rid of your loans sooner. And it's a good idea to throw extra money at your bill when you can to speed up theprocess. If you're really troubled with cash, switch to an income-driven student loan repayment plan. The government offers four options that make our payments a percentage of your income, so you'll pay less when you earn less.Next, think about where you can cut costs elsewhere in your life so you can pay your loan bills. Focus on saving money in ways that make sense for your lifestyle. That way you won't feel deprived of (被剥夺)everything you enjoy, and you can cut out expenses that you truly don't need.Car payments can be especially costly. Consider giving up a car and signing up for Zipcar, Car2go or another car sharing service if it's available in your city. These companies let you rent a car hourly, which can help when public transportationonw't get you where you need to go.Now it's on to smaller expenses— and some you might not even know you're paying.It's easy to sign up for a service that automatically charges you every month, such as the gym, ClassPass, Spotify or Netflix. Cancel tlem if you're not using them at least a few times a week. A service such as Truebill will track your monthly payments and show you which ones you're not using so you can cancel.9.What does the author aim to tell us in Paragraph 1?A.Missing a payment is common for graduates.B.There are good ways to pay student loan bills.C.Paying student loan bills on time is necessary.D.Some students easily ignore their student loan bills.10.What is a disadvantage of following an income-driven student loan repayment plan?A.You will be offered only one option.B.You may end up paying more interest.C.You have to finish paying within 10 years.D.You still need to pay more even when you earn less.11.What do the last three tips have in common?A.They all suggest cutting costs.B.They are all about small expenses.C.They all mean avoiding expensive services.D.They all help shorten the repaying process.DDecades ago travelling by air in America was a great affair. Today it signals discomfort, extra charges and the threat of violence.Air fares are higher per seat mile in America than in Europe. The global price ofjet fuel has fallen by half since 2014. That triggered a fare war between European carriers, but in America ticket prices have hardly budged.Standards of service are also worse. Only one operator based in America can be found in the world's 30 best carriers, compared with nine from Europe. When Ryanair, currentlyEurope's largest and cheapest airline, cut service to the bone, it began to lose customers and money. That caused it to perform a Upturn and be “nicer” to customers, in order to protect its market share from competitors like easyJet, Wizz Air and Norwegian.This happy combination of low fares and reasonable service has a simple explanation: competition. American policymakers have presided over a wave of mergers (合并)in the past few years. The biggest four carriers in America between them now control 80% of the market, compared with just 48% a decade ago. In Europe, where the top four carriers have around 45% of the market, policymakers have got three things right.First, European regulators have tried harder to preserve competition between existing carriers. The EU has been willing to block mergers to prevent airlines from building monopoly (垄断)positions at airports. Not so in America: at 40 of its 100 biggest airports, a single carrier now accounts for more than half of capacity. That pushes up prices.Second, Europe has made it easier for foreigners to encourage competition by entering new markets. There are no ownership limits at all between European countries. America caps foreign ownership at 25%. Foreign joint companies, such as Virgin America are struggling to take off.Some of Europe's advantages are hard to copy. America's regulators should loosen the cap on foreign ownership and promote the use of secondary airports. If that doesn't work, regulators should consider breaking up the big airlines. Allowing competition to weaken was a huge mistake.12.What does the underlined word “budged” in Paragraph 2 mean?A.Changed.B. Increased.C. Steadied.D. Doubled.13.What can be inferred about Ryanair from Paragraph 3?A.Its air fares are high.B.Its service now is poor.C.It responds to the market quickly.D.It is losing its market share fast.14.What have European regulators been trying to do?A.Push up prices.B.Cap foreign ownership.C.Protect the biggest airports.D.Stop carriers from merging.15.What's the main idea of the passage?A.European airline industry is developing healthily.B.Air fares are becoming a big burden for travelers.C.Customers are complaining fiercely about American airlines.D.America's airline industry should look to Europe for lessons.第二节(共5小题;每小题3分,满分15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。

Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?A. Web’s Radio: New Access to InformationB. Guide to Suitable WebsitesC. How to Surf the Internet WiselyD. Recommendation of Online English Magazines & VideosBMy husband hasn’t stopped laughing about a funny thing that happened to me. It’s funny now but it wasn't at the time.Last Friday, after doing all the family shopping in town, I wanted a rest before catching the train, so I bought a newspaper and some chocolate and went into the station coffee shop - that was a cheap self-service place with long tables to sit at. I put my heavy bag down on the floor, put the newspaper and chocolate on the table to keep a place, and went to get a cup of coffee.When I went back with the coffee, there was someone in the next seat. It was one of those wild-looking youngsters, with dark glasses and worn clothes, and hair colored bright red at the front. Not so unusual these days. What did surprise me was that he'd started to eat my chocolate!Naturally, I was annoyed. However, to avoid trouble--and really I was rather uneasy about him--I just looked down at the front page of the newspaper, tasted my coffee and took a bit of chocolate. The boy looked at me closely. Then he took a second piece of my chocolate. I could hardly believe it. Still I didn't dare to start an argument. When he took a third piece, I felt more angry than uneasy. I thought, “Well, I shall have the last piece.”And I got it.The boy gave me a strange look, and then stood up. As he left he shouted out. “This woman's crazy!”Everyone stared.

The first police officers arrived at the mall six minutes after the first call, she said but by then the shootings were over.It is reported that the gunman left a suicide note that was found at his home by relatives. A law enforcement official who spoke on condition of anonymity(匿名) said the note indicated that the gunman wanted to “go out in style.”The shootings broke the usually ordinary routine of holiday shopping. The gunman was said by some witnesses to have fired about 20 shots into a crowd. Some customers and workers ran screaming from the mall, while others dived into dressing rooms to hide from the shooter.Shoppers and store workers were trapped inside the mall, which has roughly 135 stores. Others streamed out of mall exits with their hands raised. Our president was in Omaha this morning to deliver a speech, but he had left the city by the time the shootings took place.8.

Gunman Killed 8 People, Then Himself at a Mall in OmahaDMillions of teenagers are in danger of putting their health at risk by getting hooked on e-cigarettes, experts warn. Leading health researchers say they are “very concerned”by the growing number of youngsters trying the devices.Ecigarettes have been marketed as a healthier alternative to smoking conventional cigarettes. But previous research shows ecigarettes generate poisonous chemicals similar to those found in tobacco and may harm the lungs and immune system.Worryingly, researchers at Liverpool University discovered 16% of teenagers who have used ecigarettes had never previously smoked. The experts also found ecigarettes were “strongly related”to drinking among teenagers. Study author Prof. Mark Bellis said, “Our research suggests that we should be very concerned about teenagers accessing ecigarettes. While debate on ecigarettes has focused largely on whether or not they act as a gateway to tobacco cigarette use, ecigarettes themselves contain a highly addictive drug that may have more serious and longer lasting impacts on children because their brains are still developing.”Researchers surveyed 16,000 students aged 14 to 17 in the North West of England and asked them about their alcohol and tobacco use. They found that one in five answered yes to the question: “Have you ever bought or tried electronic cigarettes?”More males than females said they had.Of the teenagers that had accessed ecigarettes, 16% had never smoked, 23% had tried smoking, 12% only smoked when drinking, and 14% were exsmokers. The research also found teenagers who drank alcohol were significantly more likely to have accessed ecigarettes than nondrinkers.Among those who had never smoked, it was found that those who regularly have excessive(过多的)drinking were four times more likely to access ecigarettes than those who never drink. In all of those that drink, regardless of smoking status, ecigarette access was associated with excessive drinking and involvement with violence after drinking. The researchers said their findings suggest that teenagers who use ecigarettes are most susceptible to other forms of substance use and risktaking behaviors.12. How have ecigarettes been promoted in the market?A. As a healthier substitute for traditional cigarettes.B. As a device meeting the mental needs of smokers.C. As a product preventing smokers from using tobacco products.D. As a new device promoted among youngsters.13. What do we learn from the survey made in the North West of England?A. E-cigarettes are now widely available and heavily promoted.B. Ecigarette access is linked to excessive drinking and violence after it.C. Teenagers are very knowledgeable about alcohol and tobacco use.D. The number of adult cigarette smokers is dropping at present.14. Which of the following can replace the underlined words “susceptible to”in the last paragraph?A. greatly interested inB. commonly accustomed toC. deeply disappointed atD. easily influenced by15. What's the main idea of the passage?A. Experts are concerned about excessive drinking in teenagers.B. The harm of the ecigarettes is greater than that of alcohol.C. Teenagers are in danger of risking their health on ecigarettes.D. Researchers are aware of smokerelated health harm.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年河南省信阳高中高考英语二模试卷
Berns, a neuroscientist, trained dogs to sit in a machine in order to look into the brains of conscious dogs for the first time. That pioneering work inspired him to dig deeper into the minds of other animals, from sea lions to the extinct thylacine(袋狼). Berns says, “With their ability to think, choose and feel, dogs and other animals do not deserve the cruel treatment humans so often do to them.”
Why Time Flies, by Alan Burdick
New Yorker staff writer Alan Burdick examines the greatest gift humanity has ever known: time. Time, he writes, appears to exist in two distinct forms. One is the standardized, objective kind found in clocks and watches; the other is our internal, biological sense of time, the one we measure in our cells, bodies and minds. But the closer he looks, the less clearer this distinction appears.
河南省郑州市2018届高三第二次质量预测英语试卷含答案
2018郑州高三英语第二次质量检测试题一、阅读理解第一节AChinese movie theaters are never running short on youth films. Youth(芳华),directed by Feng Xiaogang, was released in December, 2017 and hit the screen. But this one is different: It is dedicated to the youth of our parents’ generation.Set in the 1970s, the story begins in a military art troupe(部队文工团),in which the soldiers’ duties are to sing, dance and promote culture. He Xiaoping, a newcomer, is a talented dancer. With a painful childhood, she wants to make a fresh start in the troupe, yet her family background makes her the laughing stock(笑柄) among the other girls. The only person who is nice to her is Liu Feng, a kind and unselfish man.In most youth fi lms, the characters’ life paths are only influenced by their own choices. However, the young people in Youth are also a part of “the whirlwind(旋风) of historical changes”, as film critic Justin Chang wrote in the Los Angeles Times.In a period of more than 30 years, they have to experience the Cultural Revolution and the Sino-Vietnamese Conflict, during which Liu Feng loses one arm and He Xiaoping suffers from a mental illness. The disbandment(解散) of the troupe also tears them away from the life and people they are so familiar with, throwing them into a new life they know nothing about.They all have to learn “to make peace with the past and make the most of the present”, wrote reporter Giovanna Fulvi on the website .But there’s still something that never changes about youth. No matter what time of history it is, people share the same longing for love and beauty. Sunshine, laughter and swimming pools—these typical images of youth are all well kept in Mr. Feng’s new films.According to ifeng News, Youth is actually a nostalgic(怀旧的) and personal work that Mr. Feng dedicates to his own experiences of working in a troupe. “When I look back in time, everything in my life seems to be black and white,” he said, “The days in the troupe are the only part of my memory that always remains colorful.”21. What influenced He Xiaoping’s and Liu Feng’s lives most?A. Historical changesB. Their own personalitiesC. Their family backgroundsD. Their longing for love and beauty22. Why did Feng Xiaogang direct the film Youth?A. To show the cruelty of the war.B. To urge people to value their youth.C. To recall the days when he worked in the troupe.D. To describe the life during the Cultural Revolution.23. What do we know about the youth in different generations according to the text?A. They all treat sunshine and laughter as the typical images of themselves.B. In our parents’ generation, they don’t love beauty due to political reasons.C. They long for totally different things varying from generation to generation.D. Though they live in different times, they still have something in common.BEight years before his death in 1986, Alfred Nobel was surprised to read an obituary(讣告) in the local newspaper. This was a strange obituary, for it told Alfred Nobel, the man who was reading it, that he was dead. The newspaper had confused Alfred with his brother, Ludwig, who had recently died.Nobel was shocked to read that he had passed away, and he was even more annoyed by the title of the obituary: The Merchant of Death Is Dead. Alfred was a very rich and successful armaments manufacturer.(武器制造商)。

There was a time, when the blue whale was a major animal in every large water bodyof the world.But the arrival of’ the whale hunting era lessened the whale count by such a massive number that blue whales are still endangered today. The reasons for whaling were various. Their large size mistakenly led mariners to believe that such a huge animal couldbe a deadly threat in the sea. Also, whale blubber(鲸脂) and meat were desired products from this oceanic mammal. But early whaling was restricted by primitive toolsand whaling techniques. So the damage to whale populations was controllable.With the coming of powerful harpoon guns, steam﹣ powered boats and the slipway in whaling ships, whaling advanced, with more whales being hunted at a rapid rate. In 1931 alone, 29, 649whales were killed. Blue whales also have a slow rate of reproduction. Afemale blue whale gives birth to one calf every two years. This means the rate of reduction of the whale﹣s population cannot be countered(抵消)by such a rise in births. By 1966, the International Whaling Commission declared blue whales as protected animals and banned blue whale hunting in international waters. But the number of blue whales remains low due to man﹣s deep﹣sea activities. Heavy sea traffic causesaccidents, where blue whales are injured by ships or cargo vessels. Deep﹣sea fishing involves using large nets and trawling equipment, in which blue whales can get caught and drown.The International Whaling Commission has taken steps to protect these wonderful creatures. Committees of experts have been formed to work against whaling, entrapment (诱捕) and predation(掠食) of blue whales. But their population remainslow. Recent blue whale statistics indicate between 12, 000﹣15, 000 of these ocean﹣dwellers remain.(1)In the past the damage to blue whales could be controlled because of________A.great quantities of them.B.unadvanced equipment and hunting means.C.strong protection of International Whaling Commission.D.their fast rate of reproduction.(2)Which is not included in the main reasons for endangered blue whales?________A.Some people kill blue whales for their.B.Blue whales can﹣t reproduce themselves fast.C.There are few protection committees of experts.D.Man﹣s deep﹣sea activities cause accidental killing.(3)Which is the best we students can do to protect blue whales?________A.We donate money to raise their birth rate.B.We refuse to ride ships which cause injuries to them.C.We refuse to consume whale blubber or meat.D.We ask fishermen not to do ordinary fishing activities.(4)Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?________A.Why are Blue Whales Endangered?.B.How to Save the Endangered Whales?.C.The Population of the Blue Whales Declined.D.Blue Whales﹣A Threat in the Sea.【答案】BCCA【考点】阅读理解综合【解析】本文属于说明文,主要介绍了蓝鲸是濒危的海洋哺乳动物,并列举了几个原因,如对鲸鱼制品的需求,缓慢的繁殖速度及人类海洋活动对鲸鱼的杀害等.【解答】(1)B.细节理解题.根据But early whaling was restricted by primitive tools and whaling techniques.

Chinese social media went crazy on April 12because of one man﹣Professor Stephen Hawking. The 74﹣year﹣old British astrophysicist joined Sina Weibo and quickly attracted 1.3 million followers in eight hours, the Xinhua News Agency reported. It showed that his popularity here in China is not slowing down, on the same day that he announced plans to build tiny interstellar (星际的) spaceships.Why is Hawking so popular? Of course, his science work speaks for itself. His 1988 book A Brief History of Time is one of the most popular science﹣best sellers of all time and he has done a lot of important work on black holes and the Big Bang theory explaining how the universe started.Perhaps as impressive as his scientific findings, though, has been his ability to continue working while suffering from a rare form of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, commonly known as motor neurone disease in the UK. The disease has stopped him moving slowly over the years, and he now communicates using just one cheek muscle connected to a device that speaks.The way he has dealt with his problem has won him many admirers. A Xinhua article on his last visit to China in 2006 reported that he had a fame among Chinese youngsters “much like that of actor Tom Cruise”.It went on to say that “the appeal of Hawking largely comes from his ability to be a great thinker despite his physical challenges”.So what’s next for Hawking after joining Sina Weibo? Building spaceships. Hawking has teamed up with Russian billionaire Yuri Milner and Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg in a ﹩100 million effort to make tiny spaceships that can travel to other stars inspace, according to the Indo﹣Asian News Service.Hawkingand Milner made their announcement at One World Observatory in New York City on April 12.The project, called Breakthrough Starshot, is a research and engineering program that aims to build laser beam﹣powered (激光束功率的)“nanocrafts” (超微型飞船) that can travel at 20 percent of light speed﹣more than1, 000 times faster than the current fastest spacecraft.Alpha Centauri is one of the closest star systems to the solar system and the current fastest spacecraft would take 30, 000 years to get there.So it seems that Hawking’s latest accomplishment might even be his greatest yet!(1)Which of the following is used to show Stephen Hawking’s popularity in China?________A.He is even more famous than Tom Cruise in China.B.His Big Bang theory is widely read in China.C.His book A Brief History of Time was the best﹣selling book in China in 1988.D.His first post on Weibo gained him 1.(2)What can we infer from Paragraph 2 to Paragraph 4?________A.Hawking’s theories led to breakthroughs in different fields.B.Hawking’s theories are too difficult f or ordinary people to understand.C.Hawking’s achievements are more impressive considering his disease.D.Hawking’s rare disease hasn’t prevented him from doing experiments.(3)What can be concluded about the “Breakthrough Starshot” project?________A.It will bring humans to Alpha Centauri in the near future.B.It aims to build spaceships that can reach Alpha Centauri in less than 30years.C.Hawking aims to build spaceships that can travel at light speed.D.Hawking’s plans to build spaceships are suppor ted by many Chinese people.(4)What is the main purpose of this article?________A.To give details of Hawking’s life experiences.B.To invite more people to follow Hawking on Weibo.C.To give details of the reasons for Hawking’s popularity and explain hi s new project.D.To present the science behind Hawking’s previous work and the new “Breakthrough Starshot” program.【答案】ADCB【考点】阅读理解综合【解析】本文是一篇历史文化类阅读,主要讲述了中国社交媒体在4月12日发生疯狂事件,因为有一名男子﹣史蒂芬霍金教授.新华社报道,这位74岁的英国天体物理学家加入了新浪微博,并在八小时内迅速吸引了130万名追随者.【解答】(1)A.推理判断题.根据A Xinhua article on his last visit to China in 2006 reported that he had a fame among Chinese youngsters “much like that of actor Tom Cruise”.可以看出,他比汤姆克鲁斯在中国更有名,用于展示史蒂芬霍金在中国的知名度.故选A.(2)D.推理判断题.根据2﹣4段内容,尤其是Perhaps as impressive as his scientific findings, though, has been his ability to continue working while suffering from a rareform of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, commonly known as motor neurone disease in the UK.可以看出,霍金罕见的疾病并没有阻止他做实验.故选D.(3)C.细节理解题.根据The project, called Breakthrough Starshot, is a researchand engineering program that aims to build laser beam﹣powered (激光束功率的)“nanocrafts” (超微型飞船) that can travel at 20 percent of light speed﹣more than1,000 times faster than the current fastest spacecraft.可知,“突破星空”项目霍金的目标是建造可以轻松旅行的飞船.故选C.(4)B.主旨大意题.阅读全文,根据文章内容,尤其是Chinese social media went crazy on April 12because of one man﹣Professor Stephen Hawking. The 74﹣year﹣old British astrophysicist joined Sina Weibo and quickly attracted 1.3 million followers in eighthours, the Xinhua News Agency reported.可知,本文目的主要是邀请更多人在微博上关注霍金.4. As Artificial Intelligence (AI) becomes increasingly complicated, there are growing concerns that robots could become a threat. This danger can be avoided, according to computer science professor Stuart Russell, if we figure out how to turn human values into a programmable code.Russell argues that as robots take on more complex tasks, it’s necessary to translate our morals into AI language.For example, if a robot does chores around the house, you woul dn’t want it to put the pet cat in the oven to make dinner for the hungry children.“You would want that robot preloaded with a good set of values.” said Russell.Some robots are already programmed with basic human values. For example, mobile robots have been programmed to keep a comfortable distance from humans. Obviously there are cultural differences , but if you were talking to another person and they came up close in your personal space, you wouldn’t think that’s the kind of thing a properly bro ught ﹣up person would do.It would be possible to create more complicated moral machines, if only we could find a way to set out human values as clear values.Robots could also learn values from drawing patterns from large sets of data on human behavior. They are dangerous only if programmers are careless.The biggest concern with robots going against human values is that human beings fail to do sufficient testing and they’ve produced a system that will break some kind of taboo.One simple cheek would be to program , a robot to check the correct course of action with a human when presented with an unusual situation.If the robot is unsure whether an animal is suitable for the microwave, it has the opportunity to stop, send out beeps(哗哗声音), and ask for directions from a human.If we humans aren’t quite sure about a decision, we go and ask somebody else. The most difficult step in programming values will be deciding exactly what we believe is moral, and how to create a set of moral rules. But if we come up with an answer, robots could be good for humanity.(1)What does the author say about the threat of robots?________A.It can be avoided if human values are translated into their language.B.It accompanies all machinery involving high technology.C.It may be considered as a challenge to computer programmers.D.It has become an unavoidable danger as technology gets more complicated.(2)What would we think of a person who invades our personal spaced according to the author?________A.They are aggressive.B.They are outgoing.C.They are ignorant.D.They are rude.(3)How could robots learn human values according to the passage?________A.By interacting with humans in everyday life situations.B.By following the daily routines of civilized human beings.C.By picking up patterns from massive data on human behavior.D.By imitating the behavior of properly brought﹣up human beings.(4)What should a well﹣programmed robot do when facing an unusual situation?________A.Keep a distance from possible dangers.B.Stop to seek advice from a human being.C.Set off its built﹣in alarm system at once.D.Do sufficient testing before taking action.【答案】ACDB【考点】阅读理解综合【解析】本文属于说明文阅读,作者通过这篇文章主要向我们描述了随着人工智能(AI)变得越来越复杂,人们越来越担心机器人会成为一种威胁【解答】(1)A.细节理解题.根据第一段This danger can be avoided,according to computer science professor Stuart Russell,if we figure out how to turn human values into a programmable code可知如果人类的价值观被翻译成他们的语言机器人的危险是可以避免的;故选A.(2)C.推理判断题.根据"Obviously there are cultural differences , but if you were talking to another person and they came up close in your personal space,you wouldn’t think that’s the kind of thing a properly brought﹣up person would do.’可知一个人侵犯了我们的个人空间,我们会认为他是无知的,故选C.(3)B.细节理解题.根据文章Robots could also learn values from drawing patterns from large sets of data on human behavior可知机器人通过从人类行为的海量数据中提取模式来学习人类的价值观;故选B.(4)C.细节理解题.根据文章If the robot is unsure whether an animal is suitable for the microwave,it has the oportunity to stop,send out beeps(嘟嘟声),and ask for directions from a human可知一个编程良好的机器人面对异常情况时会停下来向人类寻求帮助;故选C.第二节(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.Have you found yourself turning to sugary sweets too often? We all have our food vices﹣that one treat that we can’t get enough of. Detoxing(排毒) is a way of cleaning the body of the toxins(毒素) that build up as a result of unhealthy eating habits.(1)_______Do live a healthy lifestyleTaking care of yourself is the most important thing.“The best suggestion for good health would be a healthy lifestyle ﹣routine exercise, healthy diet,don’t smoke, alcohol in moderation, proper sleep and stress reduction,” die titian Michelle Salerno﹣Shorttsaid.“Most Americans want the quick fix﹣easier to take a pill than do the other suggestions I just mentioned.” Basically, a detox alone is not healthy.(2)_______As Salerno﹣Shortt said, a balanced diet is key to staying safe with your detox.(3)_______Avoid unproven methods.“With products that are over the counter(OTC), they traditionally are not approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and you basically are taking these products at your own risk,” Salerno﹣Shortt said. Things can go south if you don’t stay safe, as the online horror stories of bad detoxes will tell you. You should consult a doctor before beginning a detox.Do leave breaks between eating(4)_______ “The break does not have to be long; it can simply be the time between meals if someone stays away from snacks and has true hunger before the next meal,” Beeker said. In order for the body to detox, it needs time to complete the process.Don’t limit what you needAs teenagers,we’re still growing.(5)_______According to the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, boys between 14 and 18 need 2,200 to 3,200 calories per day and girls aged 14 to 18 need 1,800 to 2,400 calories per day.Don’t cut down these calories in order to lose weight. Hit your calorie limit but with healthy choices.A.Don’t try risky detoxesB.Don’t ignore side effectsC. The digestive system needs a break from the hard work it does.D. Each of us has different calorie needs depending on individual size and amount of exercise.E. If you try to starve yourself while on a detox,you’ll become sick and may even have to be hospitalized.F. Although detoxing can leave you feeling new and energetic in the short run,there’s a lot that can go wrong if you aren’t careful.G. I would not recommend it for my patients since they already have a pre﹣existing medical history and it could put them at risk for further health issues.【答案】F,E,A,C,D【考点】七选五阅读【解析】本文是一篇选句填空阅读,属于说明文,主要讲述了排毒是一种清洁因不健康饮食习惯而产生的毒素的方法,介绍了正确的排毒方式.【解答】(1)F.推理判断题.句意:尽管排毒可以让你在短期内感到新鲜和充满活力,但如果你不小心的话,会出现很多错误.根据Detoxing(排毒) is a way of cleaning the body of the toxins(毒素) that build up as a result of unhealthy eating habits.可知,排毒是一种清洁因不健康饮食习惯而产生的毒素的方法.故选F.(2)E.推理判断题.句意:如果你在排毒时试图使自己饥饿,你会感到恶心,甚至可能需要住院治疗.根据As Salerno﹣Shortt said, a balanced diet is key to staying safe with your detox.可知,正如Salerno﹣Shortt所说,均衡饮食是保持排毒安全的关键.故选E.(3)A.推理判断题.句意:不要尝试冒险的排毒.根据 Avoid unproven methods可知,避免未经证实的方法.故选A.(4)C.推理判断题.句意:消化系统需要从努力工作中解脱出来.根据The breakdoes not have to be long; it can simply be the time between meals if someone stays away from snacks and has true hunger before the next meal可知,休息时间不一定很长;可以简单地说是两餐之间的时间,如果有人远离零食并且在下一顿饭之前真的有饥饿感.故选C.(5)D.推理判断题.句意:我们每个人都有不同的卡路里需求,具体取决于个人的体型和运动量.根据According to the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, boys between 14 and 18 need 2,200 to 3,200 calories per day and girls aged 14 to 18 need 1,800 to 2,400 calories per day.可知,根据营养与营养学会的统计,14至18岁的男孩每天需要2,200至3,200卡路里,14至18岁的女孩每天需要1,800至2,400卡路里.故选D.第三部分英语知识运用(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)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的最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑.Sadness is a universal feeling.

AHere is a collection of some TV series. For this list, we stick to those that have been released in recent years and we choose not to include TV hits likeGame of Thrones or Sherlock.Stranger ThingsThis US television series is a combination of three genres (类型):the typical college movies where the losers rise up, the science fiction films about crazy scientists who reached their top in the 1980s and the horror movies written in the style of Stephen King. This show, starring Winona Ryder and a group of amazing kids, has managed to combine these genres so well that it has already acquired a vast army of fans worldwide.The Pillars of the EarthIt is set in the twelfth century, a time which is considered one of the darkest and most romantic periods in the history of England. Based on the best-selling novel written by Ken Follett, this TV show starring the brilliant Eddie Redmayne is widely recognized as one of the best historical TV dramas of recent years.MahabharataThis Indian Hindi-language series is liked by many people for being regarded as the simplest and the most fun way to learn about the age-old wisdom of the Indian people. It tells us about the kings and heroes who love, fight and make wise decisions. This drama is about the endless struggle between good and evil.The CrownThis story about the transformation of the young Princess Elizabeth into the queen shows everything about the British monarchy (君主制).It includes many storylines, each of which could be made into a separate TV show. The series focuses on the age-old themes of family, marriage and politics, and this is probably what makes The Crown win popularity.1. What do we know about Stranger Things?A. Stephen King determined its style.B. It consists of three children stories.C. Most of its central characters are kids.D. It’s much more popular than Sherlock.2.Which aspect of the Pillars of the Earth is stressed in the text?A.Its background.B. Its staff.C. Its theme song.D. Its plot.3. Which TV series is more like a biography?A.Stranger Things.B.The Pillars of the Earth.C.Mahabharata.D.The Crown.4. Which of the following do the four TV series?A. They are highly thought of by the audience.B. Their storylines are relatively complex.C. They mainly discuss universal themes.D. Their original languages are English.BWhen I was growing up, the gold standard for cancer-themed tear-jerkers (催人泪下的故事)was “Something for Joey”,a made-for-TV movie—ased on a true story—bout the bond between a big-time college football player and his fiercely loyal little brother who is dying of childhood leukemia (白血病).Lauren Grodstein takes a different approach with her fourth novel, “Our Short History”. What sets Grodstein’s novel apart is that the cancer diagnosis switches places: Jacob Neulander, the 6-year-old boy at the center of the book, is cancer-free, while his mother, Karen, a 43-year-old political consultant (顾问) who raised Jacob on her own, has recentlybeen found to have late-stage ovarian cancer. With the time Karen has left, she decides to write her son a book and fill it with everything she wants him to know: a catalog of the things that have made her happy; the story of how he was named; and an account of how, kicking and screaming, she allows Jacob to start spending time with his biological father, a one-term congressman (国会议员)from New Jersey who broke Karen’s heart and lives with his new wife along the Palisades.“I plan to be honest here,” Karen promises at the novel’s beginning. “I plan to be extraordinarily honest. I will not edit out the truth; I will not try to make myself look better than I really was.” This total honesty leads Karen to admit uncomfortable truths to Jacob—the night you were born was not the best night of my life,” she writes. “I was terrified; I was tired; I was sad’’一and, especially, to record the disturbance of feelings that run high after Jacob and his father meet for the first time and get along famously. They bond over Playmobil and Star Wars; she realizes, watching the two of them together, tha t Jacob is “exactly like him” Karen lets her paranoia (偏执狂)run wild. She imagines Jacob posing for a Christmas card with his new family after she’s gone; she yells at him when he suggests that his father’s wife would make him snacks on demand. This eruptio n of maternal envy and anger is the dramatic high point of the novel —“I am your only mother!” Karen yells. The rest of “Our Short History,” unfortunately, is content to deliver the quieter pleasures for adults.5.What do we know about Something for Joey?A.It’s essential fictional.B. It’s intended for the movie theatre.C. It focuses on a college student’s cancer.D. It has the common features of tear-jerkers.6. Which of the following is TRUE about Lauren Grodstein? ( )A.

But once you graduate, your new monthly student loan bill will be hard to ignore. After all, missing a payment isn’t like turning in a term paper late; debt collectors aren’t nearly as forgiving as your Chemistry 201 professor. What can you do to repay our student loans sooner?If you can manage it, repay your loans on the standard 10-year repayment plan. You’ll pay less interest and get rid of your loans sooner. And it’s a good idea to throw extra money at your bill when you can to speed up the process. If you’re really troubled with cash, switch to an income-driven student loan repayment plan. The government offers four options that make our payments a percentage of your income, so you’ll pay less when you earn less.Next, think about where you can cut costs elsewhere in your life so you can pay your loan bills. Focus on saving money in ways that make sense for your lifestyle. That way you won’t feel deprived of (被剥夺)everything you enjoy, and you can cut out expenses that you truly don’t ne ed.Car payments can be especially costly. Consider giving up a car and signing up for Zipcar, Car2go or another car sharing service if it’s available in your city. These companies let you rent a car hourly, which can help when public transportation w on’t getyou where you need to go.Now it’s on to smaller expenses一and some you might not even know you’re paying. It’s easy to sign up for a service that automatically charges you every month, such as the gym, ClassPass, Spotify or Netflix. Cancel th em if you’re not using them at least a few times a week. A service such as Truebill will track your monthly payments and show you which ones you’re not using so you can cancel.9. What does the author aim to tell us in Paragraph 1?A.

Today it signals discomfort, extra charges and the threat of violence.Air fares are higher per seat mile in America than in Europe. The global price of jet fuel has fallen by half since 2014. That triggered a fare war between European carriers, but in America ticket prices have hardly budged.Standards of service are also worse. Only one operator based in America can be foundin the world’s 30 best carriers, compared with nine from Europe. When Ryanair, currently Europe’s largest and cheapest airline, cut service to the bone, it be gan to lose customers and money. That caused it to perform a U-turn and be “nicer” to customers, in order to protect its market share from competitors like easyJet, Wizz Air and Norwegian.This happy combination of low fares and reasonable service has a simple explanation: competition. American policymakers have presided over a wave of mergers (合并)in the past few years. The biggest four carriers in America between them now control 80% of the market, compared with just 48% a decade ago. In Europe, where the top four carriers have around 45% of the market, policymakers have got three things right.First, European regulators have tried harder to preserve competition between existing carriers. The EU has been willing to block mergers to prevent airlines from building monopoly (垄断)positions at airports. Not so in America: at 40 of its 100 biggest airports, a single carrier now accounts for more than half of capacity. That pushes up prices.Second, Europe has made it easier for foreigners to encourage competition by entering new markets. There are no ownership limits at all between European countries. America caps foreign ownership at 25%. Foreign joint companies, such as Virgin America are struggling to take off.Some of Europe’s advantages are hard to copy. America’s regulators should loosen the cap on foreign ownership and promote the use of secondary airports. If that doesn’t work, regulators should consider breaking up the big airlines. Allowing competition to weaken was a huge mistake.12. Wh at does the underlined word “budged” in Paragraph 2 mean?A.Changed.B. Increased.C. Steadied.D. Doubled.13.

What have European regulators been trying to do?A. Push up prices.B. Cap foreign ownership.C. Protect the biggest airports.D. Stop carriers from merging.15. What’s the ma in idea of the passage?A. European airline industry is developing healthily.B. Air fares are becoming a big burden for travelers.C. Customers are complaining fiercely about American airlines.D. America’s airline industry should look to Europe for les sons.第二节(共5小题;每小题3分,满分15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。
