For her, riding the most aggressive roller coaster in the park is not a big deal. If all goes according to her plans, NASA will send her to Mars in 2033, making her the first human to step foot on the planet. She will spend two to three years doing something on it, growing food, performing science experiments, and searching for signs of life. "The Martian is actually very accurate, " she said. "A lot of the things that happened in the movie are similar to what is going to happen. " She's devoted her entire life to preparing for this journey.Her love for space started when she was 3 years old and watched a cartoon called The Backyardigans. Five animal pals go on imaginary adventures in their backyard including in one part, a mission to Mars. "I thought 'This red planet is so cool, ' " she said. "I started watching videos of rovers' landing on Mars. I had a large map of Mars in my room I would look at. We started getting telescopes so we could look at space."At 7 her father took her to space camp in Huntsville, Alabama. "That was the weekend of my life, " she said. "I got to learn everything I had been wanting to know and more… I got to see a life-size rocket. " She cherished the rocket so much that she returned 18 times. At the age of 12 she became the first person in history to attend all three NASA space camps in Huntsville, Alabama; Quebec, Canada; and Izmir, Turkey.At first she mastered the basics of space and how humans have explored it throughout time. As she got older she simulated（模拟）missions, trying to reach a destination in gravity-free, weightless zones.When she was 9 she met NASA astronaut Sandra Magnus. The experienced explorer told her she was her age when she decided to go to space. At that moment Alyssa knew her love of space was not a passing hobby, "I did the same thing as other kids, like switching my mind; about careers, wanting to be a teacher or the president one day, " she said. "But the way I always thought about it was I would become an astronaut, go to Mars, come back, and then be a teacher or the president."(1) Alyssa Carson is great because.A. she has created model missions to the MarsB. she is the youngest to have completed astronaut trainingC. she is likely to be the first human to perform different tasks on the MarsD. she has visited the space camp in Huntsville, Alabama for nearly twentie times(2) NASA astronaut Sandra Magnus was mentioned in the last paragraph tostress.A. the power of space dreamB. the popularity of space travelC. the importance of career choiceD. the excitement of her space experiences(3) What is the author's purpose of writing the text?A. To introduce American space industry.B. To promote the values of American teens.C. To encourage tours to the Mars.D. To present a rising American space star.2、【来源】 2019年浙江高三一模（B篇）第24~26题7.5分2019年浙江宁波镇海区宁波市镇海中学高三一模（B篇）第24~26题7.5分(每题2.5分)2019年浙江高三上学期高考模拟（B篇）第24~26题7.5分Humans have been keeping animals as pets for tens of thousands of years, but Dr. Jean-Loud Rault, an animal scientist at the University of Melbourne in Australia, believes new companions are coming: robot pets."Technology is moving very fast, " Rault told ABC News. "The Tamagotchi in the early 1990s was really the first robotic pet, and now Sony and other big companies have improved them a lot."This may not TAL#NBSP sit well with pet lovers. After all, who would choose a plastic toy over a lovely puppy? But Rault argues that the robotic kind has a lot going for it:" You don't have to feed it, you don't have to walk it, it won't make a mess in your house, and you can go on a holiday without feeling guilty." The technology also benefits those who are allergic to pets, short on space, or fearful of real animals.It's not clear whether robot pets can replace real ones. But studies do suggest that we can bond with these smart machines. People give their cars names and kids give their toy animals life stories. It's the same with robots. When stony stopped its repair service for its robot dog Aibo in March 2014, owners in Japan held funerals.As an animal welfare researcher, Rault is concerned about how robotic pets could affect our attitude towards live animals, "If we become used to a robotic companion that doesn't need food, water or exercises, perhaps it will change how humans care about other living beings, " he said.So are dogs and cats a thing of the past, as Rault predicts? For those who grew up with living and breathing pets, the mechanical kind might not do. But for our next generation who are in constant touch with smart technology, a future in which lovely pets needn't have a heartbeat might not be a far-fetched dream.(1) What does the underlined phrase “sit well with" means?A. Be refused by.B. Be beneficial to.C. Make a difference to.D. Receive support from.(2) What are the advantages of robot pets?a. They are plastic and feel smooth.b. Owners needn't worry about them when going out.c. They can help cure allergies.d. They save space and costs.A. abB. bcC. bdD. cd(3) The passage mainly tells us.A. the advantages of robot toysB. the popularity of robot petsC. living pets are dying outD. robot pets are coming3、【来源】 2019年浙江高三一模第27~30题10分2019年浙江高三上学期高考模拟第27~30题7.5分2017~2018学年重庆沙坪坝区重庆市南开中学高一下学期期中第18~21题8分(每题2分)The British summer is extremely beautiful. Trees, flowers, birds and butterflies make the whole country look like a big garden. However, many British people have noticed that butterflies have been gradually disappearing from this picturesque scenery during the past several years. What has happened to them?Butterfly Conservation, a charity in the UK, is running a survey to help answer this question. The result is more serious than people expected. According to the survey, among 59 butterfly species found in the British Isles, more than three﹣quarters of them are suffering a declining population, including the most popular Meadow Brown. Moreover, half of all butterfly species are dying out.Some common species such as the small Tortoiseshell butterfly and the Wall butterfly are dropping sharply. The latter cannot even be seen in many parts of central and southern England. And the Blue butterfly, which was commonly seen in the south, has started settling in Edinburgh in the past few years.The numbers of butterflies have dropped to a record low in the past three years largely because the summer in the UK is getting cooler and their living conditions are also degrading. Fortunately Britain is experiencing a long hot summer this year compared to the last few summers. Conservationists believe the warm weather will bring some benefit to the butterflies.Sir David Attenborough, president of Butterfly Conservation, said, "Butterflies in abundance tell us that all is well with nature. When they decline it's a warning that other wildlife will be soon heading the same way. "The survey is still going on. The public is also encouraged to keep track of the UK's butterfly population. The organizers hope the survey will help raise public awareness of the value of butterflies in the UK.(1) The survey conducted by Butterfly Conservation has found that.A. the UK butterflies enjoy a cool climateB. the UK butterflies prefer settling in the northC. the number of the UK butterflies is decreasingD. butterflies make the British summer more attractive(2) How does the writer support the findings of the survey in Paragraph 3?A. By listing examples.B. By providing data.C. By giving explanations.D. By making comments.(3) What can we tell from the number of butterflies?A. How the weather will change.B. Whether nature is in a healthy state.C. Where other wildlife will be moving.D. Why their living conditions are degrading.(4) Butterfly Conservation expects their survey to.A. warn people to care more about the change of weatherB. keep the charity running more smoothly than ever beforeC. help the British government protect nature and the environmentD. strengthen people's understanding of the importance of butterflies二、七选五（共5小题，每小题2分，共10分）4、【来源】 2019年浙江高三一模第31~35题10分2018年浙江金华高三一模第31~35题10分(每题2分)Many universities have carried out a requirement of studying abroad in order that students can receive a degree. Actually you will realize that traveling itself is an education.1Sitting in history is BORING. Honestly, I'd rather have to take chemistry than listen to a history professor go on and on and on about a civilization or some people I don't careabout.2When I studied abroad in Germany, I made a lot of connections to history that I had learned about previously. Being there, where events actually took place, was cooler than looking at pictures on a Power Point slide.3If you study abroad and have to travel with a classmate, I guarantee you'll be able to identify some areas for improvement. I can remember multiple instanced where I identified that I needed to become a better communicator. Having the experience of traveling will give you so many more perspective on life.If you feel like you haven't exactly defined your identity, leave your home country for a semester or longer. I can guarantee that you'll come back with a better handle on who you are and what you have to offer the world.4In those five weeks, I learned more about who I am and what I represent than the previous year I had spent on my home campus.You'll return home with new found appreciation for your life and the opportunities you're been given. After I traveled around Europe, I came home so much more thankful to go to a university with comfortablehousing.5I could' have been happier to share a bathroom with 59 other 18- to 22-year-old girls. I couldn't have been happier to get up for my 8 a.m. coursed.A. But when you travel, history comes to life.B. Here are some reasons why you should consider traveling to enhance your learning.C. When you travel, you'll have to learn a different way of living.D. I had such deepened appreciation for what I had been given.E. I found out so many things about myself when I was in Germany.F. All in all, traveling will enhance your classroom learning experiences.G.

Grammar and VocabularySection ADirections:After reading the passages below, fill in the blanks to make the passages coherent and grammatically correct. For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word; for the other blanks, use one word that best fits each blank.Ask someone what they have done to help the environment recently and they will almost certainly mention recycling. Recycling in the home is very important of course. However,(21)__________(force) to recycle often means we already have more material than we need. We are dealing with the results of that over-consumption in the greenest way possible, but it would be far better (22)__________ we did not need to bring so much material home in the first place.The total amount of packaging increased (23)__________ 12% between 1999 and 2005. A large number of companies believe that they can attract customers’ attention and stimulate their purchasing desire by over-packaging their goods, thus (24)__________(gain) more profits.Too much packaging is doing damage to the environment. If such packaging (25)__________(burn), it gives off greenhouse gases which go on to cause the greenhouse effect. Recycling helps, (26)__________ the process itself uses energy. The solution is not to produce such items in the first place. Food waste is a serious problem, too. Too many supermarkets encourage customers to buy more than they need. However, a few of them are coming round to the idea (27)__________ this cannot continue, encouraging customers to reuse their plastic bags, for example.But this is not just about supermarkets. It is about all of us. We have learned to associate packaging with quality. We have learned to think that (28)__________ without packaging is of poor quality. This is especially true of food. But it also applies to a wide range of consumer products, (29)__________ often have far more packaging than necessary.There are signs of hope. As more of us recycle, we are beginning to realize just how much unnecessary materials are collecting. However, despite the ongoing campaigns (30)__________(promote) consumers’ green awareness, we still have a long way to go.Section BDirections:Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.There is distinction between reading for information and reading for understanding. Thus we can ____31____ the word “reading” in two distinct senses.The first sense is the one in which we read newspapers, magazines, or anything else. We can get ____32____ to the content of those materials easily. Such materials may increase our store of information, but they cannot improve our understanding. And clearly we don’t have any difficulty in gaining the new information, for our understanding was ____33____ to them before we started. Otherwise, we would have felt the shock of puzzlement.The second sense is the one in which we read something that at first we do not completely understand. Here the thing to be read is at the first sight better or higher than the reader. The writer is communicating something that can ____34____ the reader’s understanding. Such communication between unequals must be possible. Otherwise one person could never learn from another. Here “learning” means understanding more, not remembering more information.What are the ____35____ in this kind of reading? First, there is inequality in understanding. The writer must be “____36____”to the reader in understanding. Besides, his book must ____37____ something he possesses and his potential readers lack. Second, the reader must be able to overcome this inequality in some degree. And he should always try to ____38____ thesame level of understanding with the writer. If the equality is ____39____, success of communication is achieved.Besides gaining information and understanding, there’s another goal of reading - entertainment. It is the least ____40____ and requires the least amount of effort. Everyone who knows how to read can read for entertainment if he wants to. In fact, any book that can be read for understanding or information can probably be read for entertainment as well.III. Reading ComprehensionSection ADirections: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.Celebrities, in other word, famous people, have become one of the most important representatives of popular culture. Fans used to be crazy about a specific film, but now the public tends to base its consumption on the interest of celebrity attached to a specific ____41____. Besides, fashion magazines have almost ____42____ the practice of putting models on the cover because they don't sell nearly as well as famous faces. ____43____, celebrities have realized their unbelievably powerful market potential, moving from advertising for others’ products to developing their own.Celebrity clothing lines aren't a completely new phenomenon, but in the past they were typically aimed at the ____44____ consumers, while today they’re started by first-class stars whose products enjoy equal fame with some world top ____45____. The most successful start-ups have been those by celebrities with specific personal style. As celebrities become more and more experienced at the market, they expand their production scale ____46____, covering almost all the products of daily life.However, for every success s tory, there’s a related war ning tale of a celebrity who ____47____ his consumer appeal. No matter how famous t he product’s origin is, if it ____48____ to impress consumers with its own qualities it begins to resemble an exercise in self-promotional marketing. And once the initial attention dies down, consumer interest might fade, ____49____ returning to labels which have proved to be reliable.Today, celebrities face even more severe ____50____. The pop-cultural circle might be bigger than ever, but its rate of turnover(逆转) has ____51____ as well. Each misstep threatens to reduce a celebrity’s shelf life and the same newspaper or magazine that once brought him ____52____ has no problem severely criticizing him and taking everything from him when the opportunity appears. Still, the ego’s(自我的) potential for ____53____ is limitless. Having already achieved great wealth and public recognition, many celebrities see ____54____ as the next frontier to be conquered. As the saying goes, success and failure always go hand in hand. Their success as designers might last only a short time and as a matter of fact, fashion - like celebrity - has always been ____55____. So the next time celebrities introduce their lines of fashion, let’s just wait and see how long they will stay.41. A. film B. character C. product D. magazine42. A. abandoned B. promoted C. enhanced D. developed43. A. All in all B. As a result C. Above all D. On the contrary44. A. wealthy B. famous C. special D. ordinary45.

A. audience B. fashion C. charm D. performance55. A. admirable B. productive C. temporary D. respectableSection BDirections: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)They swim lovely along the shore, looking for underwater greens to feed on. But these days, along Florida’s western coast, something is mixing with the sea grass that manatees(海牛) like to eat. And it’s making them sick - even killing them.It’s a poisonous form of algae, usually called “red tide” because of its color. Algae are plant-like organisms that live mainly in water. Most are harmless, but not red tide. When it gets mixed in with the grass and the manatees eat it, they get so sick that they can’t even swim.“They’re basically paralyzed(瘫痪的), and they become unconscious,” said Virginia Edmonds, an animal care manager. Manatees are mammals and they need to surface often to breathe in air. If a manatee is paralyzed, it can’t swim and will drown.As of Monday, the current red tide outbreak has killed at least 174 manatees since the beginning of this year. That has already beaten Florida’s record-high number for manatee deaths in a single year - and we still have nearly nine months to go!The experts aren’t sure when the red tide outbreak will end. So many more manatees are in danger. The situation has gotten so desperate that Florida zoos have rescued at least a dozen manatees. You can find manatees anywhere from Brazil up to Florida - and throughout much of the Caribbean Sea.In fact, the manatee is officially considered an endangered species. Thanks to the US government’s protection, Florida’s manatee population has grown to approximately 5,000 in recent years. But the red tide is threatening their survival. Some experts suspect that pollution from farms even might be fueling the red tide outbreak, because fertilizer that’s used on farms often winds up in water. And when that fertilized water runs off into the Gulf of Mexico, it makesthings grow faster - just like on land.56. The word “them” (in the 1st paragraph) probably refers to “________”.A. underwater greensB. algaeC. manateesD. endangered animals57. We can learn from the passage that the red tide ________.A. causes 174 manatees’ deaths every monthB. disables manatees’ ability to surface to breatheC. has destroyed most of the underwater greensD. helps to fertilize farm lands58. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage?A. The experts’ efforts to keep the red tide from spreading.B. The potential cause of the expansion of the red tide.C. The present situation of manatees in Florida.D. The deadly effect of the poisonous red tide on manatees.59. What does the passage mainly talk about?A. The red tide has been changing the manatees’ habitant.B. The manatee is officially an endangered species.C. More efforts should be made to save the manatees.D. The red tide has been threatening the manatees.(B)For centuries, mankind and dogs have suffered from a communication failure. We can telldogs what we want them to do and sometimes they comply, but we’vealways struggled when it comes to understanding the true meaning oftheir barks and whimpers. There is exciting news now - a dogtranslator called body harness (see the picture) has been invented tohelp you communicate with your furry friend.HOW IT WORKS●The platform itself is a harness that fits comfortably onto the dog, and which is equippedwith a variety of technologies.●Wireless sensors can determine when they’re sitting, standing, running, etc, even whenthey’re out of sight.●The team developed software to collect, interpret and communicate those data, and totranslate human requests into signals on the harness through speakers and vibrating motors. WHAT’S FOR✧The harness could be used to train pets, guide dogs and other working animals.✧Sensors on the harness monitor the dog’s heart rate and body temperature.✧The sensor-packed harness can sen se the animal’s movement, and the sounds it makes,letting the owner knows how they feel.✧Speakers and vibrating pads in the harness also allow owners to “talk back” to their animals.✧The harness is also intended for dogs involved in search and rescue and other front-linework.60. The word “comply” in the first paragraph probably means “________”.A. shoutB. obeyC. disappearD. attack61. Which of the following is NOT the intension of the harness?A. To create a better communication between dogs and human.B. To enable the dogs to do demanding jobs.C. To transfer human thoughts to the dogs by means of technology.D. To monitor dog’s co mmunicative behaviors.62. Which of the following can best express the main idea of the passage?A. New platform: for better performances of dogs.B. Harness: a two-way communication device.C. Dog care: a completely new way possible.D. Technology: toward healthier life of dogs.(C)Books, Films and PlaysThe novelist’s medium is the written word. One might almost say the printed word. Typically the novel is consumed by a silent, individual reader, who may be anywhere at the time. The paperback novel is still the cheapest, most portable and adaptable form of narrative entertainment. It is limited to a single channel of information - writing. The narrative can go, effortlessly, anywhere: into space, people’s head, palaces, prisons and pyramids,without any consideration of cost or practical possibility. In determining the shape and content of his narrative, the writer is restricted by nothing except purely artistic criteria(评判标准). The novelist keeps absolute control over his text until it is published and received by the audience. He may be advised by his editor to revise his text, but if the writer refused to meet this condition no one would be surprised. It is not unknown for a well-established novelist to deliver his or her manuscript(手稿) and expect the publisher to print it exactly as written.However, not even the most well-established playwright or screenplay writer would submit(提交) a script and expect it to be performed without any rewriting. This is because plays and motion pictures are cooperative forms of narrative, using more than one channel of communication.The production of a stage play involves, as well as the words of the author, the physical presence of the actors, their voices and gestures, the “set” and possibly music. Although the script is the essential basis of both stage play and film, it is a basis for subsequent revision negotiated between the writer and the other creative people involved. They are given “approval”of the choice of director and actors and have the right to attend rehearsals(排演), during which period they may undertake more rewriting work. In the case of the screenplay, the writer may have little or no control over the final form of his work. Contracts for the production of plays protect the rights of authors in this respect.In film or television work, on the other hand, the screenplay writer has no contractual rightto this degree of consultation. While the script is going through its various drafts, the writer is in the driver’s seat, although sometimes receiving critic ism from the producer and the director. But once the production is under way, artistic control over the project tends to pass to the director. This is a fact overlooked by most journalistic critics of television drama, who tend to give all the credit or blame for success or failure of a production to the writer and actors, ignoring the contribution, for good or ill, of the director.63. From the first and second paragraph, we know that ________.A. there should be artistic criteria for the novelists to followB. playwright or screenplay writers often have to rewrite their workC. compared with playwrights, novelists are relatively independentD. audience sometimes are the key factors to determine artistic criteria64. Why can the novelist expect the publisher to print the manuscript exactly as written?A. Because the novelist keeps absolute control over his text.B. Because the words in the novel are not difficult for readers.C. Because the novel is limited to a single channel of information - writing.D. Because the novelist is seldom advised by editors to revise the text.65. Which of the following statements is True according to the passage?A. Playwrights envy the simplicity of the novelist’s work.B. Experience in the theatre improves the work of screenplay writers.C. Screenplay writers usually have the final say in how a TV drama will turn out.D. Playwrights are frequently involved in revising their work.66. What can we infer from the last paragraph?A. Screenplay writers should take the success of television drama in their hands.B. Screenplay writers should be more sensitive about their contractual right.C. The directors play a decisive role in the final outcome of television drama.D. Critics of television drama tend to neglect the importance of writer and actors.Section CDirections:Read the following passage carefully. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.In so many ways, cyberspace(网络空间) mirrors the real world. People ask for information,play games, and share hobby tips. Others buy and sell products. Still others look for friendship, or even love.Unlike the real world, however, your knowledge about a person is limited to words on a computer screen. Identity and appearance mean very little in cyberspace. ____67____ So even the shyest person can become a chat-room star.Usually, this "faceless" communication doesn't create problems. Identity doesn't really matter when you’re in a chat room discussing politics or hobbies. In fact, this emphasis on the idea themselves makes the Internet a great place for exciting conversation. Where else can so many people come together to chat about their interests?____68____ They are looking for serious love relationships. Is cyberspace a good place to find love? That answer depends on whom you ask. Some of these relationships actually succeed. Others fail miserably.Supporters of online relationships claim that the Internet allows couples to get to know each other intellectually first. Personal appearance doesn't get in the way.But critics of online relationships argue that no one can truly know another person in cyberspace. Why? Because the Internet gives users a lot of control over how others view them. Internet users can carefully craft their words to fit whatever image they want to give. And they don't have to worry about what their “faceless”communication is doing for their image. ____69____All of this may be fine if the relationship stays in cyberspace. But not knowing a person is a big problem in a love relationship. ____70____ This inevitably leads to disappointment when couples meet in person. How someone imagines an online friend is often quite different from the real person.So, before looking for love in cyberspace, remember the advice of Internet pioneer Clifford Stoll: "Life in the real world is far richer than anything you'll find on a computer screen."IV. Summary WritingDirection: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main points of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.Most people feel lonely sometimes, but it usually only lasts between a few minutes and a few hours. This kind of loneliness is not serious. In fact, it is quite normal. For some people, though, loneliness can last for years. Now researchers say there are three different types of loneliness, namely, temporary loneliness, situational loneliness, and chronic(长期的) loneliness.The first kind of loneliness is temporary. This is the most common type. It usually disappears quickly and does not require any special attention. The second kind, situational loneliness, is a natural result of a particular situation - for example a family problem, the death of a loved one, or moving to a new place. Although this kind of loneliness can cause physical problems, such as headaches and sleeplessness, it usually does not last for more than a year. The third kind of loneliness is the most severe. Unlike the second type, chronic loneliness usually lasts more than two years and has no specific cause. People who experience habitual loneliness have problems in socializing and becoming close to others. Unfortunately, many chronically lonely people think there is little or nothing they can do to improve their condition.Psychologists agree that one important factor in loneliness is a person’s social contacts, e.g.friends, family members, co-workers, etc. We depend on various people for different reasons. For instance, our families give us emotional support, our parents share similar interests and activities. However, psychologists have found that, though lonely people may have many social contacts, they sometimes feel they should have more. They question their own popularity.V. TranslationDirections:Translate the following sentences into English, using the words given in the brackets.72.你认为谁该为这起严重的事故负责？(responsible)73.他伤得很严重，应该马上送医院。

Cooking Well for LessCLanguages have been coming and going for thousands of years, but in recent times there has been less coming and a lot more going. When the the world was still populated by hunter-gatherers,small, tightly knit (联系)groups developed their own patterns of speech independent of each other.Some language experts believe that 10,000 years ago, when the world had just five to ten million people, they spoke perhaps 12,000 languages between them.Soon afterwards, many of those people started settling down to become farmers, and their languages too became more settled and fewer in number. In recent centres, trade,industrialisation. the development of the nation-state and the spread of universal compulsory education. Especially glbalisation and better communications in the past few decades,all have caused many Languages to disappear,and dominant languages such as English．Spanish and Chinese are increasingly taking over.At present, the world has about 6 800 languages. The distribution of these languages is hugely uneven. The general rule is that mild zones have relatively few languages. Often spoken by many people while hot. wet zones have lots, often spoken by small numbers.Europe has only around 200 Languages: the Americas about 1,000. Africa 2 400; and Asia and the Pacific perhaps 3,200, of which Papua New Guinea alone accounts for well over 800. The median number (中位数)of speakers is a mere 6.000, which means that half the worlds languages are spoken by fewer people than that.Already well over 400 of the total of, 6,800 languages are close to extinction(消亡), with only a few elderly speakers left. Pick, at random, Busuu in Cameroon (eight remaining speakers),Chiapaneco in Mexico(150). Lipan Apache in the United States(two or three)or Wadjigu in Australia (one, with a question-mark): none of these seems to have much chance of survival.28. What can we infer about languages in huntergatherer times?A.They developed very fast.B. They were large in number.C. They had similar patters.D. They were closely connected29. Which of the following best explains"dominant " underlined in paragraph 2？plex.B. Advanced.C.Powerful.D.Modem.30. How many languages are spoken by less than 6, 000 people at present?A.About 6 800B.About 3 400C.About 2.400D.About 1-20031. What is the min idea of the text?A. New languages will be created.B Peoples lifestyles are reflected in languagesC. Human development results in fewer languagesD. Geography determines language evolution.DWe may think we're a culture that gets rid of our worn technology at the first sight of something shiny and new, but a new study shows that we keep using our old devices(装置) well after they go out of style. That’s bad news for the environment—and our wallets —as these outdated devices consume much more energy than the newer ones that do the same things.To figure out how much power these devices are using, Callie Babbitt and her colleagues at the Rochester Institute of Technology in New York tracked the environmental costs for each product throughout its life — from when its minerals are mined to when we stop using the device. This method provided a readout for how home energy use has evolved since the early 1990s. Devices were grouped by generation —Desktop computers, basic mobile phones, and box-set TVs defined 1992. Digital cameras arrived on the scene in 1997. And MP3 players, smart phones, and LCD TVs entered homes in 2002, before tablets and e-readers showed up in 2007.As we accumulated more devices, however, we didn't throw out our old ones. "The living-room television is replaced and gets planted in the kids' room, and suddenly one day, you have a TV in every room of the house," said one researcher. The average number of electronic devices rose from four per household in 1992 to 13 in 2007. We're not just keeping these old devices —we continue to use them. According to the analysis of Babbitt's team, old desktop monitors and box TVs with cathode ray tubes are the worst devices with their energy consumption and contribution to greenhouse gas emissions（排放）more than doubling during the 1992 to 2007 window.So what's the solution（解决方案）? The team's data only went up to 2007, but the researchers also explored what would happen if consumers replaced old products with new electronics that serve more than one function, such as a tablet for word processing and TV viewing. They found that more on-demand entertainment viewing on tablets instead of TVs and desktop computers could cut energy consumption by 44%.32. What does the author think of new devices?A. They are environment-friendly.B. They are no better than the old.C. They cost more to use at home.D. They go out of style quickly.33. Why did Babbitt's team conduct the research?A. To reduce the cost of minerals.B. To test the life cycle of a product.C. To update consumers on new technology.D. To find out electricity consumption of the devices.34. Which of the following uses the least energy?A. The box-set TV.B. The tablet.C. The LCD TV.D. The desktop computer.35. What does the text suggest people do about old electronic devices?A. Stop using them.B. Take them apart.C. Upgrade them.D. Recycle them.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。

Mr. Nicholls was locked up for life for murdering Gladys Heath, a 74-year-old friend, found dead at her home in Worthing, Sussex.Mr. Nicholls was taken to London's Law Courts in a wheelchair yesterday to hear his name formally cleared and to hear Lord Justice Roth said, "We regret that you were wrongly found guilty and have spent such a long time in prison. " Mr. Nicholls stood with difficulty to receive one of the biggest compensation pay outs from the Home Office for his nightmare years in prison.He was accused of killing Mrs. Heath during a robbery attempt after spending the day with her in a local club. The facial injuries were said to have been caused by Mr. Nicholls. But a review of the case by experts who examined Mrs. Heath's body found that the facial injuries weren't serious and were probably caused by the fall which followed the heart attack.During the murder inquiry, Mr. Nicholls originally said he hadn't been in the victim's house but later admitted he had lied. He told the court that he found Mrs. Heath lying at the foot of the stairs but didn't call emergency services. He was frightened of the police by whom he had been questioned about the death of another woman weeks earlier.The extreme joy of having cleared his name after 23 years is great for Mr. Nicholls but there must be a lot of bitterness that will never go away. "It's easy to say I should enjoy the rest of my life.However, that will be hard for my life when I had the best years of my life stolen away. "(1) Which statement about Mr. Nicholls may the author agree with?A. He is in poor health.B. He is greedy for money.C. He felt guilty while in prison.D. He used to break the law.(2) Why didn't Mr. Nicholls call emergency services for Mrs. Heath?A. He was too scared to respond.B. He was on bad terms with her.C. He supposed she had made the call.D. He feared being suspected by the police again.(3) What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A. Mr. Nicholls man ages to end his sufferings.B. Mr. Nicholls feels worried about his future life.C. Mr. Nicholls promises to live his life to the full.D. Mr. Nicholls looks forward to his best years.2、【来源】 2018年浙江高三上学期高考模拟（B篇）第24~27题10分2018年湖北黄石下陆区湖北省黄石第二中学高三一模第28~31题8分2017~2018学年5月山东枣庄薛城区枣庄市第八中学高二下学期月考（C篇）第8~11题8分2018年湖北咸宁咸安区湖北省鄂南高级中学高三一模第28~31题8分2018年湖北黄冈黄州区湖北省黄冈中学高三一模第28~31题8分Cities are likely to be affected by overheating, thanks to something called the urban heat island effect. Cities tend to be short of trees, which provide shade, and they are covered with black pavement, which absorbs heat from the sun. Think of how it feels to wear a dark shirt versus a white shirt on a sunny day. A black shirt absorbs light, heating you up. But a white shirt reflects light, keeping you cool.The average temperature in a city of a million or more people can be more than 5 degrees F hotter than surrounding areas. That extra 5 degrees can turn a hot day from uncomfortable to deadly. As temperatures rise, cities will be an especially dangerous place to be during a heat wave. To protect public health, city officials are going to make the city cooler.As part of that effort, Los Angeles is coating its roads in Cool Seal, a gray paint that keeps streets and parking lots 10 degrees cooler than black asphalt（沥青）. It will help Angelinos save money during the summer, when air conditioning sends power bills soaring. And it will save lives by lowering temperatures and improving air quality. Hot weather worsens air pollution by turning car exhaust into smog, which can make life miserable for people with asthma（哮喘）and other breathing problems.Of course, LA will have to do more than paint over a few streets to cool off the city. Angelinos will also need to plant more trees and apply white paint to rooftops—at least those not already covered in solar panels. While LA is a pioneer of reflective streets, other cities, like New York, are already experimenting with reflective roofs or, like Melbourne, lowering the temperature by planting trees. LA is hardly alone in its effort to stay cool."This is an urgent challenge, and it's much bigger than one person, " said Mayor Garcetti in a recent statement. "Climate change is a fact of life that people in Los Angeles and cities around the world live with every day."(1) Which of the following contributes to the urban heat island effect?A. Planting more trees in the streets.B. Covering the streets with white paint.C. Applying reflective paint to rooftops.D. Furnishing every house with air conditioners.(2) What should the city officials emphasize during hot summer?A. How to make the city cooler.B. Where to wear a white shirt.C. Why to coat the roads with black paintD. When to cut off the electricity supply.(3) What benefit can people gain from the use of CoolSeal?A. Increasing the indoor activities.B. Promoting the sale of air conditioners.C. Making life easier and more comfortable.D. Reducing the number of cold days.(4) What's the main idea of the passage?A. L.A. adopted many approaches to fight against the heat.B. L.A. calls on people to fight against global warming.C. More and more countries begin to plant trees in the streets.D. L.A. is painting its streets white to keep the city cool.3、【来源】 2018年浙江高三上学期高考模拟（C篇）第28~30题7.5分The world's longest sea bridge opened on Oct. 24, 2018, linking the cities of Hong Kong and Macao to the Chinese mainland. The 55 km Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge is regarded as a key part of the Greater Bay Area plan, a campaign to connect Hong Kong, Macao and 9 cities of Guangdong to form a high-teach region to TAL#NBSP rival Silicon Valley."The bridge is not just a mega transport infrastructure jointly built by Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao, " Hong Kong's Secretary for Transport and Housing, Frank Chan Fan said. "The collaboration between Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao in terms of trade, finance, logistics and tourism will be strengthened. Hong Kong will assume a more proactive role in the development of the Greater Bay Area." However, private cars will only be able to use it after applying for a special permit.

If you're considering bird ownership, the care requirements include providing good housing, nutritious food and keeping an eye on the bird's health.Choose the bird species with care.1It is very important to lean as much as you can about the species before deciding which bird you will choose. The bird must match your lifestyle, interests and ability to take good care of it.2.The cage size should be big enough for the bird to put its wings out straight from side to side. Since small cages tend to lead to behavior problems, space in the cage is important—the bigger the space in the cage, the better.Feed the bird regularly at about the same time each day. This could be when you eat, or maybe earlier.3So the bird knows when to expect its food. Besides, provide the bird with average temperature water and change it daily to ensure the freshness.Keep the cage properly and regularly cleaned. A clean cage reduced the risk of your bird suffering from bacteria. Regular removal of bird droppings is very important for keeping the birdhealthy.4Give the bird lots of attention. Talk to your bird as it rides around the house. This is necessary during the first couple of years.5For example, some birds will perfectly mimic（模仿）the sound of you moving the cleaning cloth over the stove or table.A. Not all bird species are appropriate as pets.B. Anyhow, choose a time and try to stick to it.C. Purchase the right kind of cage for housing the bird.D. If your bird gets lots of attention, he or she will be happier as a whole.E. Identify the exact food needed by the species of bird you're caring for.F. Birds are fast learners and will surprise you with their range of sound effects.G. Moreover, a bird living in a clean environment tends to be more active and happier.三、完形填空（共20小题，每小题1.5分，共30分。

AA couple from Miami, Bill and Simone Butler, spent sixty-six days in a life raft (救生艇)in the seas of Central America after their boat sank.Twenty-one days after they left Panama in their boat, in Simony, they met some whales (鲸).“ They started to hit the side of the boat,” said Bill,“ and then suddenly we heard water. ” Two minutes later, the boat was sinking. They jumped into the life raft and watched the boat go under the water.For twenty days they had tins of food, biscuits, and bottles of water. They also had a fishing line and a machine to make salt water into drinking water—two things which saved their lives. They caught eight to ten fish a day and ate them raw(生的).Then the line broke. “So we had no more fish until something very strange happened. Some sharks(鲨鱼) came to feed, and the fish under the raft were afraid and came to the surface. I caught them with my hands.”About twenty ships passed them, but no one saw them. After fifty days at sea their life raft was beginning to break up. Then suddenly it was all over. A fishing boat saw them and picked them up. They couldn’t stand up. So the captain carried them onto his boat and took them to Costa Rica. Their two months at sea was over.1.Bill and Simone were traveling _______ when they met some whales.A.in a lakeB.in a riverC.in a seaD.in a desert2.After their boat sank, the couple _______.A.jumped into the seaB. heard waterC.watched the boat sail awayD.stayed in the life raft3.When the fishing boat picked them up, _______ .A.they stood up as quickly as possibleB.they climbed onto the boat easilyC.their life raft was in good conditionD. their two months at sea was overBOne afternoon I toured an art museum while waiting for my husband to finish a business meeting. I was looking forward to a quiet view of the wonderful works.A young couple viewing the paintings ahead of me chatted nonstop between themselves. I watched them a moment and decided she was doing all the talking. I admired his patience for tolerating her constant words. Disturbed by their noise, I movedon.I encountered them several times as I moved through the various rooms of art. Each time I heard her constant talking, I moved away quickly.I was standing at the counter of the museum gift store doing some shopping when the couple approached the exit. Before they left, the man reached into his pocket and pulled out a white object. He turned it into a long cane (手杖) and then tapped his way into the coatroom to get his wife’s jacket.“He’s a brave man,” the clerk at the counter said, “Most of us would give up if we were blinded at such a young age. During his recovery, he made a promise that his life wouldn’t change. So, as before, he and his wife come in whenever there’s a new art show.”“But what does he get out of the art?” I asked, “He can’t see.”“Can’t see! You’re wrong. He sees a lot. More than you or I do,” the clerk said, “His wife describes each painting so he can see it in his head.”I learned something about patience, courage and love that day. I saw the patience of a young wife describing paintings to a person without sight and the courage of a husband who would not allow blindness to change his life.And I saw the love shared by two people as I watched this couple walk away arm in arm.4.Which of the following statements is true?A.The husband was doing all the talking when the couple viewed the works.B.The husband tapped his way to the coatroom to get his own jacket.C.The husband was considered a brave man by the clerk at the store.D.The husband allowed blindness to change his life.5.The underlined word “encountered” in the passage means “________”.A.cheatedB.metC.talkedD.argued6.We can infer from the passage that ___________.A.the man had his eyes blinded in a fightB.the man can see very well while visiting the museumC.the woman was very patient and devoted to his husbandD.the man often wasted time by visiting exhibitionsCMy teenage son Karl became withdrawn after his father died. As a single parent, I tried to do my best to talk to him. But the more I tried, the more he pulled away. When his report card arrived during his junior year, it said that he had been absent 95 times from classes and had six falling grades for the year. At this rate he would never graduate. I sent him to the school adviser, and I even begged him. Nothing worked.One night I felt so powerless that I got down on my knees and begged for help. “Please God, I can’t do any thing more for my son. I’m at the end of my rope. I’m giving the whole thing up to you.”I was at work when I got a phone call. A man introduced himself as the headmaster. “I want to talk to you about Karl’s absences.” Before he could say another word, I cried and all my disappointment and sadness over Karl came pouring out into theears of this stranger. “I love my son but I just don’t know what to do. I’ve tried everything to get Karl to go back to school and nothing has worked. It’s out of nay hands. ”For a moment there was silence on the other end of the line. The headmaster seriously said, “Thank you for your time”, and hung up.Karl’s next report card showed a marked improvement in his grades. Finally, he even made the honor roll. In his fourth year, I attended a parent-teacher meeting with Karl. I noticed that his teachers were astonished at the way he had turned himself aroun d. On our way home, he said, “Mum, remember that call from the headmaster last year?” I nodded. “That was me. I thought I’d play a joke but when I heard what you said, it really hit me how much I was hurting you. That's when I knew I had to make you proud.”7.There was silence on the other end of the line because __________A.the speaker was too moved to say anything to the motherB.the speaker was not listeningC.the speaker had gone awayD.the speaker was unable to speak8.The sentence “... he even made the honor roll” means that “_______”A.he was even on the list to be punishedB.he was even on the list of students who were lazyC.he was even on the list of students who were always late for schoolD.he was even on the list of the best students at school9.What is the main idea of this passage?A.Children in single-parent families often have mental problems.B.School education doesn’t work without full support from parents.C.Being understood by parents is very important to teenagers.D.Mother’s love plays an important role in teenagers’ life.10.Karl has a ________ mother.A.greatB.foolishC.stupidD.dishonest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。
