2019-2020学年辽宁省实验中学高三英语模拟试卷及参考答案
2019-2020学年辽宁省实验中学高三英语模拟试卷及参考答案第一部分阅读(共两节,满分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、D四个选项中选出最佳选项ABored with your life? Dreaming of something different? I always wonder what life would be like400 kmabove my head. That's where the International Space Station orbits the earth, with six astronauts living and working on board, for months at a time.How do they sleep? They spend the night floating in a sleeping bag inside a small cubicle (小隔间) on the ceiling. American astronaut Sunita Williams explains, “It's like a little phone booth, but it's pretty comfortable and it doesn't matter if I turn overand sleep upside down. I don't have any sensation (感觉) in my head that tells me I'm upside down.”Brushing your teeth in a place where you can't have a tap or a sink can be a challenge. Can you imagine the mess that running water would make in zero gravity? Canadian astronaut Chris Hadfield uses a straw to put a big blob of water from a sealed bag onto an ordinary toothbrush and adds a little toothpaste which he has to swallow when he's done.Daily exercise is essential. The lack of gravity makes bones more fragile and muscles lose strength — so astronauts are encouraged to work out for at least two hours a day.The role of astronauts in the International Space Station is to act as lab technicians for scientists back on earth. So they spend their time maintaining their environment and performing and monitoring experiments in a confined space about the size of a Boeing 747. Almost every task is carefully planned by mission control — although most astronauts spend their first days losing things until they get used to sticking everything they use to the walls with Velcro, duct tape (强力胶带) or clips (夹子).One of their most valued perks (额外待遇) is the view from “the office”, dominated by that gigantic blue ball down there, sitting in the darkness of space. Wow! Absolutely breathtaking!1. When they sleep upside down, the astronauts willnot get dizzy because ________.A. they don't feel itB. they sleep in the daytimeC. they sleep in special sleeping bagsD. they are trained to adapt to the conditions of weightlessness2. What parts become weak if astronauts don't exercise?A. Their teeth and bones.B. Their brains and bones.C. Their bones and muscles.D. Their teeth and muscles.3. What is the passage mainly about?A. The Problems We Met in Space.B. Living and Working in Space.C. How to Become an Astronaut.D. The International Space Station.BJennifer Mauer has needed more willpower than the typical college student to pursue her goal of earning a nursing degree. That willpower bore fruit when Jennifer graduated from University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire and became the first in her large family to earn a bachelor's(学士) degree.Jennifer grew up on a farm in a family of 10 children. Her dad worked at a job away from the farm, and her mother ran the farm with the kids. After high school, Jennifer attended a local technical college, working to pay her tuition(学费), because there was no extra money set aside for a college education. After graduation, she worked to help her sisters and brothers pay for their schooling.Jennifer now is married and has three children of her own. She decided to go back to college to advance her career and to be able to better support her family while doing something she loves: nursing. She chose the UW-Eau Claire program at Ministry Saint Joseph's Hospital in Marshfield because she was able to pursue her four-year degree close to home. She could drive to class and be home in the evening to help with her kids. Jennifer received great support from her family as she worked to earn her degree: Her husband worked two jobs to cover the bills, and her 68-year-old mother helped take care of the children at times.Through it all, she remained in good academic standing and graduated with honors. Jennifer sacrificed(牺牲) a lot to achieve her goal, giving up many nights with her kids and missing important events to study. “Some nights my heart was breaking to have to pick between my kids and studying for exams or papers,” she says. However, her children have learned animportant lesson, witnessing their mother earn her degree. Jennifer is a first-generation graduate and an inspiration to her family—and that's pretty powerful.4. What did Jennifer do after high school?A. She helped her dad with his work.B. She ran the family farm on her own.C. She taught her sisters and brothers.D. She supported herself through college.5. Why did she choose the program at Ministry Saint Joseph's Hospital?A. To learn from the best nurses.B. To take care of her kids easily at night.C. To save money for her parents.D. To find a well-paid job there.6. What did Jennifer sacrifice to achieve her goal?A. Her health.B. Her chance of promotion.C Her reputation. D. Her time with family.7. What can we learn from Jennifer's story?A. Hard work pays off.B. Love breaks down barriers.C. Time is money.D. Education is the key to success.COne day about eight years ago in the departure lounge (休息室) of a flight from New York's LaGuardia airport to O'Hare in Chicago, I found a young boy in tears and his mother at his side also appeared upset, I walked to them and invited them to our VIP lounge.As it turned out, the boy, Miles and his mom were returning to their home in Kansas City. Miles has had some health problems. Though he had received more than thirty operations in a Jewish Hospital in New York, he would be back for more.Miles enjoyed spending his time in our VIP lounge looking at the entire wall filled with the pictures of many celebrities (名人) who often came to our office. We soon added Miles' picture to the wall among those celebrities.Among the celebrities, Miles like the country singer Garth Brooks best. Miles would just sit and stare at Garth's picture,Oneday, Mr. Brooks was waiting in the lounge for his flight. As he looked at the collection of photographs, Garth asked about the youngster with the big smile. We told him about Miles. We also told him how much Miles loved and respected (尊重) him. He nodded and left.About six months later, Garth was going to be performing in Kansas City and he asked our workers to help him get in touch with the family. He wanted Miles to be his guest. That evening, not only did Miles sit in the front row, but he and Garth also had a private meeting after the performance.Although Miles would receive many more treatments after that special evening, his smile greeted us with every following visit. The face of a sick boy was changed by the joy of a stranger.8. What does the author probably do?A. A worker at an airport.B. A killed photographer.C. A country music singer.D. A doctor in a Jewish hospital.9. What did Miles enjoy doing in the VIP lounge?A. Interviewing celebrities he saw there.B. Seeing pictures of celebrities on the wall.C. Drawing pictures of the celebrities there.D. Singing together with his favorite singer.10. Which words can best describe Garth Brooks?A. Determined and generous.B. Proud and selfish.C. Kind and helpful.D. Powerful and rich.11. What can be the best title for the text?A. Importance of Good ServiceB. Kindness from StrangersC. A Serious Health ProblemD. A Helpless MotherDJake Oldershaw and his daughter Mollie from Birmingham, Britain have asthma (哮喘). Mollie, 11, has required hospital treatment several times while Jake Says he always finds breathing more difficult when there is heavy traffic. Air quality has an enormous impact on their lives and both noticed a marked improvement during the spring lockdown because of the epidemic (疫情). Jake said, “During lockdown there was a noticeable difference in air quality. I didn't suffer any asthmatic attacks during that period. These days you can feel the effects.”However, under current COVID-19 restrictions in the UK this winter, many people probably will have to work from home. The Energy and Climate Intelligence Unit (ECIU) says while emissions (排放) have dropped this year because we've been travelling less and doing less, the expected use ofgas boilers to provide heating and hot water could rise by more than half.Heating accounts for nearly 37% of the UK's total carbon emissions. Modelling by the ECIU suggests a 56% increase in boiler usage this winter resulting in a 12% increase in emissions of carbon. The ECIU says that's enough to offset the last two years' worth of progress on reducing traffic emissions.Jess Ralston, author of the analysis for the ECIU, said, “Working from home and having increased gas use in the home could be really critical for air pollution and also climate change. The way we heat our homes needs tochange if we are to get to net zero by 2050.”Jess Ralston said, “The increase in pollution from gas boilers expected this winter provides a graphic illustration (图解) of their forgotten role in air pollution. And it is a role set to continue without practical policies to decarbonize home heating. ”The government is set to publish its Heat and Buildings Decarbonisation Strategy in a few weeks which is expected to give details on plans to try to switch British homes to cleaner sources of heat.12. How did the spring lockdown in the UK affect Jake?A. He was cured of his asthma.B. He had to go to hospital for retreatment.C. He suffered a noticeable difficulty in study.D. He didn't suffer any asthmatic attacks during that period.13. What is concerning the Energy and Climate Intelligence Unit?A. The epidemic will become worse.B. Air pollution will get worse this winter.C. People may have to work from home longer.D. There is less energy for gas boilers in winter.14. What would Jess Ralston agree with?A. People prefer to work from home in winter.B. The government failed to protect the environment.C. People tend to ignore the harmful effect of home heating.D. The climate has suffered a lot from the epidemic this year.15. How to improve air quality during winter according to Jess Ralston?A. A warmer winter season.B. Less and less gas boilers.C. Practical plans from the government.D. Improved awareness of cutting down pollution.第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

The marks on the shirt and the car sent the F. B. I. to Los Angeles. 300 detectives questioned people. At last one found a photograph of "Galt". Then detectives in Atlanta found a fingerprint. It was on a map in "Galt's"room in a small hotel. One fingerprint was enough.James Earl Ray's fingerprint was already on the F. B. I. cards. The police watched railway stations, hotels and airports. 3000 detectives were trying to find Ray---without success.The Canadian police were helping, too. They looked at 240,000 photographs in their Passport Office. Then they found one of "Ramon George Sneyd". "We gave this man a passport last month,"they said. "He went to London on 2nd May. "The man was wearing thick glasses, but he looked like Ray. Then on 8th June, a detective at London Airport saw Sneyd's name on a passenger list.It was the end of the biggest manhunt in history.

Do we have enough energy sources to meet our future energy needs?These are two important questions that many people are asking today. Some people think that men might be able to solve both problems at the same time. They suggest using garbage as an energy source.For a long time people buried garbage or dumped it on empty land. Now empty land is scarce. However, more and more garbage is produced each year, but garbage can be a good fuel to use. The things in garbage do not look like coal, petroleum, or natural gas: but they are chemically similar to these fossil fuels(). As we use up our fossil-fuel supplies, we might be able to use garbage as an energy source.Burning garbage is not a new idea. Some cities in Europe and the United States have been burning garbage for years. The heat that is produced by burning garbage is used to boil water. The steam that is produced is used to make electricity or to heat nearby buildings. In Paris, France, some power plants burn almost 2 million metric tons of the city's garbage each year. The amount of energy produced is about the same as would be produced by burning almost a half million barrels of oil.But there are problems in using garbage as a fuel. Garbage that burns easily, such as food scraps and paper, must be separated from metals, glass, and other materials that do not burn easily. This separation process is normally costly. Another problem is that burning garbage can pollute the air. Our fossil fuel supplies are limited. Burning garbage might be one kind of energy source that we can use to help meet our energy needs. This method could also reduce the amount of garbage piling up on the earth.82. Which of the following is NOT fossil fuel?(A) Natural gas (B) Petroleum (C) Coal (D) Tide83. People used to depose garbage by ______.(A) turning garbage into useful fossil fuel(B) burning garbage or dumping it on empty land(C) separating garbage into three types(D) shipping garbage into sea or ocean84. Why should we use garbage as an energy source?(A) Because our fossil fuel supplies are limited(B) Because garbage is more useful than fossil fuels(C) Because burning garbage can save a lot of money for us(D) Because empty land is getting more and more scarce.85. What do you think the next paragraph will talk about?(A) Some other methods of turning garbage into treasure(B) Some other benefits we can get from burning garbage(C) How much garbage we can make use of in the world(D) How to separate food scraps and paper from garbage that do not burn easily.第二卷(共40分)VI.

She had the window rolled down to enjoy the soft wind when a man rushed up to the driver's side window to rob her. The robber broke into the open window with one hand in his pocket. He ordered Granny to get out of the car, or he would shoot her. A word like that would have frightened anyone else. Instead, Granny saw it as a challenge.Completely unafraid she said that if he really had a gun, he would have pulled it out. She was right. The criminal had no gun actually and tried to pull her out of the car. Granny sounded the horn and started shouting out to draw others' attention. With the door now open, she started kicking the man anywhere her foot could reach. After a kick to his stomach, the man attempted to escape. But Granny wouldn't stand for that. It was now her turn to grabonto him.That poor fool didn't have a chance.She called for help to bystanders, and they rushed to her aid. With Granny leading the charge, a group of strangers came together and took the man to the sidewalk, holding him there until the police came.When asked by a young reporter covering the story why she fought back and wasn't afraid, Granny's answer was surprisingly simple: She had had her new car for less than two days and a pack of good sandwiches for her office. And there was no way for the robber to get either of those. Although we were angry with her because she could have gotten herself killed, we all learned an important lesson from her that day.(1)Why did Granny think the incident as a challenge?A. She was afraid of the robber,B. She has never experienced the robbery before.C. There was possibility that the robber didn't have a gun.D. There was possibility that her new car would be robbed(2)What does the author think of the robber?A. He looked very terrible.B. He had a poor memory.C. He was not strong enough.D. He was foolish and unlucky.(3)What was the main reason that the robber attempted to escape?A. Granny kicked his stomach violently.B. Granny kicked him anywhere her foot could reach.C. Granny's reaction was beyond his expectation.D.

Worldwide, about 70 percent of the groundwater drawn to the surface goes for farming. But surface waters ﹣rivers and streams ﹣come from groundwater,too.Drawing too much groundwater over a short time can be harmful. Natural waterways can begin to empty. And that can hurt freshwater ecosystems. Scientists consider this a tipping point when small actions can begin making unusually big differences.A new study has found that 15 to 21 percent of tapped water (自来水)areas have reached this sort of tipping point. Most of those tapped rivers and streams are in dry areas. Farmers in these areas use groundwater to water their crops.At present drawing rates,the study predicts that 42 to 79 percent of water areas around the world where groundwater is drawn up for use at the surface will reach tipping points by 2050.A healthy groundwater aquifer (含水层)protects ecosystems againstseasonal ups and downs in the use of water. That provides stability for area plants and animals.But if too much groundwater is drawn up from below,surface waters will begin to flow into the aquifer, which can harm what are living in rivers and streams.De Graaf and the study team set up a computer model. It linked groundwater drawing and water flows within rivers. The model covered fifty years, from 1960 to 2010. Then the researchers used climate forecasts to help the model predict what might happen in future years. Throughout, they kept groundwater drawing rates sustainable. More than half of drawn water areas are likely to cross this ecological tipping point before 2050, the model finds."We need to be thinking about this now,not in 10 years," De Graaf says. "Our study shows us where to target more sustainable efforts."(1)What does the "tipping point" in paragraph 1 mean?A. End point.B. Breaking point.C. Freezing point.D. Boiling point.(2)What is the writer's purpose of writing the text?A. Warn us that the surface water can pollute the groundwater.B. Warn us of watering the crop by groundwater.C. Tell us the relation of groundwater and surface water.D. Warn us that the overuse of groundwater can destroy the ecosystem.(3)What is the part the groundwater plays in the environment?A. Keeping the stability of natural water.B. Protecting ecosystems from pollution.C. Clearing surface waters to be drinkable.D. Providing stability for the local economy.(4)How did the researchers conduct the study?A. They predicted the result based on the old data.B. They happened to work out the result.C. They measured all the groundwater and surface water.D. They did questionnaire surveys on the water information.4.(8分)Extra fingers are not that rare. About one or two in every 1,000 babies are born with extra fingers. If the extras are just small nubs (肿块), they may be surgically removed at birth. But some extra fingers can prove helpful,a new study shows.An extra finger can be incredibly handy. People born with six fingers per hand can tie their shoes, flexibly manage phones and play a complicated video game ﹣ all with a single hand. What's more, their brains had no trouble controlling the more complex movements of their extra fingers, the new study finds. Its results also highlight how flexible the human brain can be. That information can guide people who design brain controlled robots.Researchers worked with a 52﹣year﹣old woman and her 17﹣year﹣old son,both of whom were born with six fingers on each hand. Their extra fingers grew between the thumb and index finger. And they resemble thumbs in how theycan move. The researchers studied the subjects' hands with MRI (核磁共振成像), which can map body structures. They also looked at activity in the parts of the brain that control the hands.Those scans showed a dedicated brain system that controls the extra fingers.The sixth fingers had their own muscles and tendons (肌腱). That means they don't just depend on the muscles that move the other fingers, as some doctors had thought. The brain had no trouble directing the extra fingers,the researchers showed.It suggests someone's mind would be able to control robotic fingers or limbs. However,it might be harder for a person not born with extra fingers.Living in a world designed for people with five fingers has led the mom and son to adapt in interesting ways. For instance, eating tools are too simple for them, so they constantly change the posture on the eating tools and use them in a different way. Still, not everyone with extra fingers may show improved flexibility. In some cases, extra fingers may be less well developed.(1)What does the new research find about extra fingers?A. They are always useless.B. They are very uncommon.C. They are usually necessary.D. They are sometimes beneficial.(2)What can we infer about extra fingers from the text?A. Extra fingers' muscles and tendons are stronger.B. Extra fingers are more flexible than normal ones.C. The extra nubs removed at birth are actually helpful.D. Brain﹣controlled Robots can be designed to have extra fingers.(3)What can we know from the last paragraph?A. The mom and son live an interesting life.B. Some people enjoy the life with extra fingers.C. Eating tools are quite simple for people with extra fingers.D. Some people with extra fingers are not more flexible than ordinary people.(4)What can be the best title for the text?A. Sixth Finger Can Improve AbilityB. Sixth Finger Can Prove Extra HandyC. Sixth Finger Should Be Treated ProperlyD. Sixth Finger Should Develop in Many Ways第二节(共1小题;每小题10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.5.(10分)How Not to Annoy Wild Animals at National Parks National parks are a treasure that offer the chance to view native plants and animals in their natural habitat. However, as the number of visitors and wildlife populations increases, humans and animals too often find themselves in close distance.(1)Remember that the animals living in national parks are wild. Wild animals can be unpredictable and in national parks and many state parks, they are not contained.(2) Never think that it is safe to approach them.(3) Stop by the visitor's center and take the time to read about the types of wildlife in the park and what to expect. The park service posts these signs to protect you and the wildlife.So,if you see the warning signs, take care.Make sure you give animals space. The general rule is to keep 25 yards away from all wildlife,and a minimum of 100 yards away from wolves and bears.(4) If you're out hiking and you encounter wildlife, stick your thumb out and hold it out at eye level. If your thumb covers the entire animal, you're a safe distance away from that animal.Some wild animals look adorable and maybe you think handing them a snack or two won't hurt.(5) Feeding wildlife is a bad idea and you risk getting a bite. Plus people food is not healthy for animals and it makes them learn that people aren't the threat. This becomes a vicious cycle (恶性循环) that results in people getting too close and getting hurt. Wildlife have all they need to eat in their environment.A. But don't do it.B. You can follow the "rule of thumb".C. In national parks, there are warning signs everywhere.D. At certain times of the year, wildlife can be more lovely.E. So it's important to know how to respect wildlife and stay safe.F. In another word, they go anywhere within the park as they please.G. You should always pack up food after a picnic stop or at the campground.第二部分语言知识运用(共两节,满分30分)第一节(共1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A、B、和D四个选项中,选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项.6.(30分)There was a knock at the door of Great﹣Grandma Smith's home one Thanksgiving.

Scientists consider this a tipping point when small actions can begin making unusually big differences.A new study has found that 15 to 21 percent of tapped water (自来水)areas have reached this sort of tipping point. Most of those tapped rivers and streams are in dry areas. Farmers in these areas use groundwater to water their crops.At present drawing rates,the study predicts that 42 to 79 percent of water areas around the world where groundwater is drawn up for use at the surface will reach tipping points by 2050.A healthy groundwater aquifer (含水层)protects ecosystems againstseasonal ups and downs in the use of water. That provides stability for area plants and animals.But if too much groundwater is drawn up from below,surface waters will begin to flow into the aquifer, which can harm what are living in rivers and streams.De Graaf and the study team set up a computer model. It linked groundwater drawing and water flows within rivers. The model covered fifty years, from 1960 to 2010. Then the researchers used climate forecasts to help the model predict what might happen in future years. Throughout, they kept groundwater drawing rates sustainable. More than half of drawn water areas are likely to cross this ecological tipping point before 2050, the model finds."We need to be thinking about this now,not in 10 years," De Graaf says. "Our study shows us where to target more sustainable efforts."(1)What does the "tipping point" in paragraph 1 mean?A. End point.B. Breaking point.C. Freezing point.D. Boiling point.(2)What is the writer's purpose of writing the text?A. Warn us that the surface water can pollute the groundwater.B. Warn us of watering the crop by groundwater.C. Tell us the relation of groundwater and surface water.D. Warn us that the overuse of groundwater can destroy the ecosystem.(3)What is the part the groundwater plays in the environment?A. Keeping the stability of natural water.B. Protecting ecosystems from pollution.C. Clearing surface waters to be drinkable.D. Providing stability for the local economy.(4)How did the researchers conduct the study?A. They predicted the result based on the old data.B. They happened to work out the result.C. They measured all the groundwater and surface water.D. They did questionnaire surveys on the water information.4.(8分)Extra fingers are not that rare. About one or two in every 1,000 babies are born with extra fingers. If the extras are just small nubs (肿块), they may be surgically removed at birth. But some extra fingers can prove helpful,a new study shows.An extra finger can be incredibly handy. People born with six fingers per hand can tie their shoes, flexibly manage phones and play a complicated video game ﹣ all with a single hand. What's more, their brains had no trouble controlling the more complex movements of their extra fingers, the new study finds. Its results also highlight how flexible the human brain can be. That information can guide people who design brain controlled robots.Researchers worked with a 52﹣year﹣old woman and her 17﹣year﹣old son,both of whom were born with six fingers on each hand. Their extra fingers grew between the thumb and index finger. And they resemble thumbs in how theycan move. The researchers studied the subjects' hands with MRI (核磁共振成像), which can map body structures. They also looked at activity in the parts of the brain that control the hands.Those scans showed a dedicated brain system that controls the extra fingers.The sixth fingers had their own muscles and tendons (肌腱). That means they don't just depend on the muscles that move the other fingers, as some doctors had thought. The brain had no trouble directing the extra fingers,the researchers showed.It suggests someone's mind would be able to control robotic fingers or limbs. However,it might be harder for a person not born with extra fingers.Living in a world designed for people with five fingers has led the mom and son to adapt in interesting ways. For instance, eating tools are too simple for them, so they constantly change the posture on the eating tools and use them in a different way. Still, not everyone with extra fingers may show improved flexibility. In some cases, extra fingers may be less well developed.(1)What does the new research find about extra fingers?A. They are always useless.B. They are very uncommon.C. They are usually necessary.D. They are sometimes beneficial.(2)What can we infer about extra fingers from the text?A. Extra fingers' muscles and tendons are stronger.B. Extra fingers are more flexible than normal ones.C. The extra nubs removed at birth are actually helpful.D. Brain﹣controlled Robots can be designed to have extra fingers.(3)What can we know from the last paragraph?A. The mom and son live an interesting life.B. Some people enjoy the life with extra fingers.C. Eating tools are quite simple for people with extra fingers.。

Well. they are doing this to check their blind spots! Blind spotstake driving extremely difficult and increase the potential for car accidents.Fourteen-year-old Alaina Gassler from Pennsylvania noticed her mother struggling withblind spots while driving their family car. So she came up with an ingenious solution that wonthe first place and $25.000 in the Broadcom Masters Competition.Blind spots are the areas around the car that cannot be directly observed by the driver.There are two kinds of blind spots---on the back of the car that cannot be seen with mirrors,and blind spots at the front of the car as well.When a driver is changing lanes, he has to look over his shoulder through the side windows to make sure that there is no vehicle in the blind spot. This invisible area is big enoughto hide a car!The other blind spot is created in the front by the A-pillar(柱子)---the material on eitherside on the windshield(挡风玻璃)that holds the glass and forms the frame of the car. In some cars, this pillar can be quite thick. Usually, people or cyclists can be hidden by thispillar.Alaina's design was to get rid of the blind spot created by the front A-pillar of the car,the one that helps holdup the windshield.She put a camera on the outside passenger side of the car which then sent the photos to aprojector above the driver's' head. Then, she covered the inside of the pillar in reflective fabric onto which the image was projected. Basically, her device made the pillar "see through"and removed the blind spot on that side of the car.Alnina's solution is very creative and could be improved by using LCD displays that willmake il easier to see during day time as well.8. What can be learned about blind spots during driving?A. They call for careful driving.B. They make driving thrilling.C. They are many in kinds.D. They can't be get rid of.9. Which of the following can replace the underlined word"ingenious" in paragraph 2?A. interestingB. creativeC.inspiringD. invisible10. How did Alaina solve the problem?A By improving the A-pillar. B. By using a mirror on the outside of the A-pillar.C. By relying on LCD displays.D. By using a camera to capture images.11. What's the best title for the text?A. An Introduction to Blind SpotsB. A Warning About the Road SafetyC. A Teen's Creative Solution to Blind SpotsD. Scientific Research on Blind SpotsDAn estimated 60 percent of cats and 50 percent of dogs in the U. S. are overweight orobese, so chances are that your pet needs to lose weight rather than pack on some pounds. It'snot always easy to tell if your pet could afford to lose few, but there are some other signsthat can tip you off. One important factor the waist, "Most people don't know what a normalcat should look like,"says Romine. "But cats should have waists, too." The vet says you should be able to feel your pet's ribs(肋骨)through its coat, and when you look down atthem, they should have an hourglass(沙漏)shape---just like person."For some overweight pets, you may want to switch to new food entirely; foods with'light' or 'healthy weight' labels usually have an increased fiber content to help the dog orcat feel fuller,"Romine notes. "Another option is to feed them less of the food they currently cat,"Freeman suggests."Make sure you're reducing table scraps(残羹剩饭)and high-calorie treats like pet biscuits,"she says.It's important to figure out what your pet's ideal weight is as you're helping them to lose.Romine advises working with your vet to get the right number, and if you're following theportion guidelines often printed on food labels, feed them the amount of food associated withthe weight you want them to be, rather than the weight theycurrently are.Food isn't the only factor that can impact your pet's weight. Romine stresses the importance of exercise inkeeping your pet healthy. For cats, just 10 minutes of indoor play eachday can make a difference. For dogs,lettingthem out in the backyard to do their business isnot enough. You'll have to exercise with your dog to really get themmoving.12. What is the problem with the pet from the tex1?A. It needs to lose weight.B. It needs have waistsC. It needs to pack on pounds.D.It needs to be more energetic.13. Which food can help overweight pets?A. The food with an decreased fiber.B. The food from table scraps.C. The food with"light"labels.D. The food with new label.14. What is an important factor to keep pets healthy?A. A partner.B. Exercise.C. Pet biscuits.D. Protein.15. From which is the text probably taken?A. A biology textbook.B. A travel brochure.C. A recipe book.D. pet magazine.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。

animals in their natural habitat.However,as the number of visitors and wildlife populations increases,humans and animals too often find themselves in close distance.(1)Remember that the animals living in national parks are wild.Wild animals can be unpredictable and in national parks and many state parks,they are not contained.(2)Never think that it is safe to approach them.(3)Stop by the visitor's center and take the time to read about the types of wildlife in the park and what to expect.The park service posts these signs to protect you and thewildlife.So,if you see the warning signs,take care.Make sure you give animals space.The general rule is to keep 25 yards away from all wildlife,and a minimum of 100 yards away from wolves and bears.(4)If you're out hiking and you encounter wildlife,stick your thumb out and hold it out at eye level.If your thumb covers the entire animal,you're a safe distance away from that animal.Some wild animals look adorable and maybe you think handing them a snack or two won't hurt.(5)Feeding wildlife is a bad idea and you risk getting a bite.Plus people food is not healthy for animals and it makes them learn that people aren't the threat.This becomes a vicious cycle (恶性循环)that results in people getting too close and getting hurt.Wildlife have all they need to eat in their environment.A.But don't do it.B.You can follow the "rule of thumb".C.In national parks,there are warning signs everywhere.D.At certain times of the year,wildlife can be more lovely.E.So it's important to know how to respect wildlife and stay safe.F.In another word,they go anywhere within the park as they please.G.You should always pack up food after a picnic stop or at the campground.第二部分语言知识运用(共两节,满分30分)第一节(共1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A、B、和D四个选项中,选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项.6.(30分)There was a knock at the door of Great﹣Grandma Smith's home one Thanksgiving.Since she was the

ATwo of the saddest words in the English language are “ if only” . I live my life with the goal of never having to say those words , because they convey regret , lost opportunities , mistakes , and disappointment .My father is famous in our family for saying , “ Take the extra minute to do it right.” I always try to live by the “extra minute”rule . When my children were young and likely to cause accidents , I always thought about what I could do to avoid an “ if only ” moment , whether it was something minor like moving a cup full of hot coffee away from the edge of a computer , or something that required a little more work such as taping padding (衬垫) onto the sharp corners of a glass coffee table .I don’t only avoid those “ if only” moments when it comes to safety . It’s equally important to avoid “if only” in our personal relationships . We all know people who lost a loved one and regretted that theyhad foregone an opportunity to say “ I love you” or “ I forgive you” . When my father announced he was going to the eye doctor across from my office on Good Friday , I told him that it was a holiday for my company and I wouldn’t be there . But then I thought about the fact that he’s 84 years old and I realized that I shouldn’t give up an opportunity to see him . I called him and told him I had decided to go to work on my day off after all .I know there will still be occasions when I have to say “if only”about something , but my life is definitely better because of my policy of doing everything possible to avoid that eventuality(可能发生的事) . And even though it takes an extra minute to do something right , or it occasionally takes an hour or two in my busy schedule to make a personal connection , I know that I’m doing the right thing . I’m buying myself peace of mind and that’s the best kind of insurance for my emotional well-being .21. Which of the following is an example of the “extra minute” rule ?A. Start the car the moment everyone is seated.B. Leave the room for a minute with the iron working .C. Wait for an extra minute so that the steak tastes better.D. Move an object out of the way before it trips someone .22. The author decided to go to her office on Good Friday to _______________.A. keep her appointment with the eye doctorB. meet her father who was already an old manC. join in the holiday celebration of the companyD. finish her work before the deadline approaching23. The underlined word “foregone” in Paragraph 3 is closed in meaning to “____________” .A. abandonedB. lackedC. avoidedD. wasted24. What is the best title for the passage ?A. The Emotional Well-beingB. The Two Saddest WordsC. The Most Useful RuleD. The Peace of MindBNo one can deny that buttons are an important clothing device. But , can they rise to the level of art ? Organizers of an exhibit in New York think so.Peter Souleo Wright organized “The Button Show” at Rush Arts Gallery in the Chelsea neighborhood of Manhattan . Eleven artists used the small , ordinary objects to create sculptures , portraits and wearable art . Some of the works are political , some are personal and others are just fun.Wright said each artist reimagines and repurposes the buttons to make art . “What I tried to do with this show,” he said , “ was to look at artists who were promoting that level of craft.”He said he wanted the button art to be comparable to a painting “because of the amount of detail and precision in the work”.Artist Beau McCall produced “A Harlem Hangover”. It looks like a wine bottle that fell over on a table . A stream of connected red buttons hang over the side, like wine flowing down . Similar red buttons form a small pool on the floor .McCall layers buttons of different shapes and sizes to create the bottle. The stitching that holds them together is also part of the artistic design.For San Francisco-based artist Lisa okin , buttons are highly personal . After her father died in 2001, she created a portrait of him using only buttons. That memorial to her father led to other button portraits , including those of activists Rosa Parks and Cesar Chavez .Others use buttons for details. Artist Amalia Amaki of Tuscaloosa , Alabama , placed them on and around old photographs. Los Angeles artist Camilla Taylor attached buttons to three large sculptures thatlook like headless animals with long , narrow legs.“The Button Show”ends at March 12. The Rush Philanthropic Arts Foundation paid for the exhibition. The foundation was created in 1995 by the Simmons brothers artist Danny , hip-hop producer Russell and rapper Rev﹒Run. The foundation seeks to bring the artists to urban youth and to provide support for new artists .25. Why did Wright organize “The Button Show”?A. To show the importance of buttons .B. To support the new artists .C. To raise the button show to the level of art .D. To create sculptures and portraits .26. Whose works are personal ?A. Peter Souleo Wright .B. Beau McCall .C. Lisa okin .D. Amalia Amaki .27. If you want to see “The Button Show” , you should ____________.A. buy tickets before March 12B. phone Peter Souleo Wright before March 12C. go to Rush Arts GalleryD. go to the Rush Philanthropic Arts FoundationCThere’s a whole lot of things that people fill their stomachs with. Some of them keep people alive. Some of them taste good to people. Some of them help people win pie-eating contests. Alcohol does none of these things. Why do people keep drinking it ? And what does it do once it gets to their stomachs ?There are all kinds of alcohol molecules (分子), but the one that people most often pour down their throat is ethanol (乙醇). Ethanol is very tiny and it dissolves in water , so it gets into all sorts of places that it’s not supposed to. Alcohol heads for the digestive system . Because it dissolves in water , it can get into the water in the bloodstream . Because ethanol , to a certain extent , can pass through cell membranes (膜). It can go almost anywhere . It spreads through the muscles , and is sweated --- unmetabolized(未经新车代谢的) and whole --- through the skin. It gets into the heart . It even takes a walk through the brain , and this is the secret of its powers.Alcohol depresses the nerves , and the nerves affect almost every area of the body . Enough alcohol makes people sleep , so people who become unconscious choke on their own vomit (呕吐物) . Most worryingly , enough alcohol can shut down those parts of the brain just like any other parts. People become unconscious and their brains simply forget to breathe.Alcohol is broken down in the liver. Alcohol doesn’t destroy the liver , but products that the liver breaks the alcohol into do cause damage. A glass of wine per day can not do any harm . Instead , it can prevent heart attacks or can make someone functionally young. And it is kind of nice to know that sometimes, relaxation and cheer can be bottled . All that’s needed is to take care how much alcohol is let into a person’s brain .28. How does the author introduce the topic of the text ?A. By statement .B. By question .C. By arguing .D. By explaining.29. Why can alcohol reach the brain ?A. Because it can move through water molecules in the blood.B. Because it is small enough to get through any narrow space.C. Because it is so light that the bloodstream can transport .D. Because it is absorbed only by the cells in the stomach.30. What’s the main idea of Paragraph 3 ?A. Alcohol affects the work of the nerves.B. Alcohol has an effect on people’s breath .C. People are drunk when their brains get drunk.D. Drinking too much is quite dangerous.31. From the passage , we can know ______________.A. many people like a drink when they feel relaxed .B. enough alcohol can control the brain activities.C. alcohol damages the liver indirectly .D. proper alcohol may lead to better sleep.DAbout a quarter of the world drives on the left , and the countries that do are mostly old British colonies (殖民地) like Australia , and Ireland . But Thailand , Indonesia and Japan also do so .This strange quirk (奇事) puzzles the rest of the world ; however , there is a perfectly good reason . Up to the late 1700’s , everybody travelled on the left side of the road because it’s the most sensible option for feudal (封建的) , violent societies with mostly right-handed people . Soldiers with their swords under their right arm naturally passed on each other’s right , and if you passed a stranger on the road , you walked on the left to ensure that your protective sword arm was between yourself and him.Revolutionary France , however , overturned this practice as part of its sweeping social rethink . A change was carried out all over continental Europe by Napoleon . It changed under Napoleon because he was left-handed . His armies had to march on the right so he could keep his sword arm between him and any opponent. From then on , any part of colonized by the French travelled on the right .After the American Revolutionary War (1775—1783) , the US became independent and decided to make traffic drive on the right in order to cast off all remaining links with its British colonial past . As America became the center of the car industry , if you wanted a good reliable vehicle , you bought American right-hand-drive cars . From then on , many countries changed out of necessity .Today , the EU would like Britain to fall into line with the rest of Europe , but this is no longer possible . It would cost billions of pounds to change everything round . The last European country to change driving on the right was Sweden in 1967 . While everyone was getting used to the new system , they paid more attention and took more care , resulting in a reduction of the number of road accidents .32. Why did people travel on the left before the late 18th century ?A. They were required to do so .B. They were mostly left-handed .C. It was easier to cross the street .D. They could feel safer from attacks .33. What was Napoleon’s attitude to walking on the left ?A. Support .B. Disapproval .C. Doubt .D. Sympathy .34. For Americans , driving on the right was a way to show __________ .A. the connection with France was brokenB. the US was no longer ruled by the UC. the American Revolution War had endedD. America was the center of the car industry35. What is the main cause of the U failing to adopt the new system ?A. Its high costs to change .B. Its increasing traffic accidents .C. Its influence on colonies .D. Its fast-developing car industry .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可以填入空白处的最佳选项。
