甘肃省2018届高三第一次高考诊断考试英语试题
甘肃省2018届高三第一次高考诊断考试英语试题学校:___________姓名:___________班级:___________考号:___________一、阅读选择If you’ll be taking vacation time in the coming year and plan on flying, here are some shopping tips to give your undivided attention to.When to buyIf you’re shopping for domestic flights, check prices on Tuesday afternoons. This is an old tip but still valid because most US carriers continue to release sales on Tuesday morning, and competitors quickly drop their fares to match the better deals.When to flyWeekdays continue to be generally cheaper times to fly than weekends for most flights. In the US specifically the cheapest days are typically Tuesday, Wednesday and Saturday. A good itinerary for the expensive US spring break travel period is Tuesday to Satur day; it won’t be cheap exactly, but it will save you money (in most cases) over weekend-to-weekend travel.Direct vs. connecting flightsCompare the price of direct with connecting fights. Sometimes adding a stop to your route will save you money, and it might be enough to endure the extra-long flying day. Some examples;Boston to Seattle :$247 direct, $234 one-stopSan Francisco to Raleigh/Durham: $553 direct, $362 one-stopOkay, the savings on Boston-Seattle might not be worth it to you, but I’ll bet you’ll think twice about the direct fight for San Francisco to Raleigh.Compare, compare, compareStifle the impulse to go to your favorite airline site to purchase tickets without doing any comparison; it’s a recipe for disaster. Example: Let’s say you want t o fly from New York to London and figure your favorite US legacy carrier will get you there for the best price.Airline price: $554 round-tripComparison price: $486Obviously, the legacy carrier did not have the cheapest flight, but wait, there’s more: Th e comparison site also showed a cheaper flight from the same legacy carrier ($521). See what you’re missing when you fail to compare?1.The best price for flights within the US could most possibly be found on . A.Monday morningB.Tuesday afternoonC.Thursday morningD.Sunday morning2.Ticket buyers are advised to .A.choose direct flights rather than connecting onesB.take the cheapest deal from their favorite airlineC.look for flight deals to Europe throughout the summerD.avoid weekend-to-weekend flights in holiday seasons3.The underlined phrase “stifle the impulse” probably means “.”A.feel free to do somethingB.hold off on doing somethingC.get well prepared for somethingD.make quick decisions about somethingI first began experiencing anxiety and depression at the age of 14, after being bullied(欺凌)at school for years. While at first anxiety and depression would come and go, it eventually became a constant part of my life.I was so eager to find the solution to overcoming my anxiety and depression that I tried everything from when I was in college to graduate school: mood-changing medication, special teas, yoga, anything I read about in books, and advice give by doctors. Despite this, I still felt I hadn’t eve n come close to managing the problem.But one afternoon, my eyes fell upon an article in a magazine I was reading that talked about how dogs were able to help people with anxiety and depression. The very next day, I decided to get a dog—a corgi. When I bro ught my little corgi, Buddy, home, I didn’t realize how much he would change my life. It didn’t happen right away, however.Once the “puppy excitement” went away, my anxiety and depression came back as usual. One morning, I woke up with those familiar feel ing again. I didn’t want to get out of bed. I turned to pull the covers back over my head and give up . That’s when I saw Buddy.Buddy started jumping all over me, licking my face, letting me know that it was time to go outside. It was as if he were saying, “There’s no time to be sad; the world is amazing!” And forthe first time in my life, my life was changing. I really was a new person. This was my new beginning.It’s been more than a year since that day, and I’ve never spent another morning unable to ge t out of bed. I’ve not cried myself to sleep or spent my days stuck with fear and regret. Sure, I still have days when I feel sad or anxious. But with Buddy, my best friend, by my side, I’ve finally learned how to manage these feelings and emotions.4.According to the first two paragraphs, the author .A.has been a school bully for yearsB.suffered from depression since collegeC.tried many ways to fight depression but nothing workedD.felt less depressed after taking medication and doing yoga5.How did the author know having a dog might help with her depression?A.She read it in an article by chance.B.A doctor recommended it to her.C.She heard it from some other depression sufferers.D.She found out herself after spending some time with a corgi.6.How does the author feel in the last paragraph?A.Hopeful.B.Anxious.C.Confused.D.Doubtful.7.What is the best title for the passage?A.Puppy ExcitementB.Problem ManagementC.Getting Rid of StressD.Defeating Depression with BuddyAmazon China, one of the largest online booksellers, unveiled the bestselling books in China for the first hall of 2017 on Tuesday, disclosing Chinese people’s reading habits.Japanese author KeigoHigashino’s Miracles of the Namiya General Store topped the list o f the most popular paper books, followed by late Chinese writer Yang Jiang’s We Three and Israeli historian Yuval Noah’s Homo Deus: A Brief History of Tomorrow. In the list of paideBooks on Kindle, the top three places were taken by Chinese writer Zhou Me isen’s In the Name of the People, KeigoHigashino’s Miracles of the Namiya General Store and Fall of Giants—book one of British author Ken Follett’s historical Century Trilogy.Amazon has also released a ranking of Chinese cities where people read most. Hefei and Zhengzhou occupy the first and second spot respectively for the second straight year. The ranking was based on the ratio of books sales compared to the volume of all products sold on Amazon during the first six months of the year.Popular TV dramas have increased the sales of the original books. In the Name of the People, an anti-corruption novel, has become the most favored choice on Kindle’s paid eBooks and the eighth popular printed book in Amazon. The company has attributed the sales success to t he novel’s super TV adaptation, and it went online in March. Statistics show the purchases of the book’s e-version increased 24 times three months after its screening, and printed copies rose 12 times. Hong Kong author Isabel Nee Yeh-su’s The First Half of My Life is another example. The recent TV adaption of the novel caused a book buying craze in China. Purchases of the book’s hard copies rose 600 times a week after the TV play was aired earlier this month. 8.Which is the top three in terms of both paper books and paid eBooks?A.We ThreeB.In the Name of the PeopleC.A Brief History of TomorrowD.Miracles of the Namiya General Store9.What does “it”mean in Paragraph 4?A.The sales success.B.The most favored choice.C.The TV adaptation of the novel.D.The purchase of the book’s e-version.10.What is the last paragraph mainly about?A.Advantages of reading books,B.Potential markets for reading books.C.Pop TV dramas’ positive effects on the sales of original books.D.Closer relationship between original books and reading books.11.Which column does the passage probably come from?A.Culture.B.News.C.Sports.D.Entertainment.For a lot of people, getting a full night's sleep is nothing more than just a dream. Some of us climb into bed in the early evening, and the next thing we know, it's 2 in the morning and we're still staring at the ceiling. It's common knowledge that sleep problems can be caused by things such as stress, anxiety, or even using a smart phone before bedtime. But recently, a team of researchers discovered that genes could also be a cause of sleepless nights.The scientists, from The Rockefeller University in New York, US, found that DSPD, delayed sleep phase disorder(睡眠时相延迟综合征), a condition that affects one's sleeping patterns, is passed down by a mutated gene(发生变异的基因). DSPD sufferers wake up later and go to bed later than the average person. To come to their conclusion, the team studied a 46-year-old woman who is only usually able to fall asleep at 2 or 3 in the morning. It was discovered that the woman's body produces the hormone(激素)that helps her sleep at night up to seven hours later than regular sleepers. The scientists found this is caused by a mutation in one of the woman's genes, one that helps regulate the “body clock”.Some of the woman's family members were also found to share the same mutation — and the same sleeping problems — leading the scientists to believe that sleep troubles are passed down through the generations.However, having this mutation doesn't mean you automatically have sleep problems. The team also found two people who had the mutation but reported no problems with their sleep.But while this is an interesting discovery, it offers no help to those who can't fall asleep at night — although there are a few things you could try to help yourself sleep earlier.BBC journalist Michael Mosley produced a TV documentary in May in which he talked about his battle with insomnia(失眠)and the techniques he used. “I avoid social media for at least an hour before bed, I do mindfulness exercises, and if I wake up in the middle of the night, I read a book for an hour or so,” he wrote in an article for the Radio Times.12.What have scientists recently discovered about sleep problems?A.Sleep problems can be a result of genetics.B.Stress and anxiety can cause sleep problems.C.Smart phones are the main cause of sleep problems nowadays.D.Sleep problems are affected by sleeping patterns.13.What can we learn about the mutation of the gene related to sleep?A.It will delay sleep for seven hours.B.It doesn’t necessarily cause sleep problems.C.It will be passed down to every future generation.D.It can be changed to help solve sleep problems.14.What does Michael Mosley suggest doing before sleep to fight against insomnia? A.Listening to light music.B.Reading interesting books.C.Keeping away from social media.D.Doing some outdoor exercise.15.What's the main purpose of the article?A.To give advice on how to cure insomnia.B.To explain different reasons for sleep problems.C.To warn readers of the bad influences of sleeping late.D.To report the discovery of a genetic cause for sleep problems.二、七选五The “Chong Yang Festival” is celebrated on the ninth day of the ninth lunar month, which is also known as the Double Ninth Festival. 16.Climbing MountainsPeople like to climb mountains on this festival, so Double Ninth Festival is also called “Mountain-climbing Festival”.The 9th lunar month, with clear autumn sky and bracing air, is a good time for sightseeing. 17.. It is really refreshing to climb mountains and enjoy the beauty of nature at this bright and clear time in autumn.Climbing mounting also indicates “climbing to a higher position”. Another reason why climbing mountains are valued by people, especially by the elderly is that it has a meaning of “climbing to ligneous life”. Climbing mountains on Double Ninth Festival was already popular in the Tang Dynasty.18.Drinking Chrysanthemum Flower(菊花) WineThe chrysanthemum flower wine is unique in brewing. In ancient times, people usuallypicked fresh chrysanthemum flowers and leaves on the 9th of the 9th lunar month, and brewed the mixture of them and grains into the wine. 19.. The wine is said to have wholesome effects on sharpness of the eye, drop of high blood pressure, reduction of weight and removal of stomach trouble, thus contributing to longevity.20.The Double Ninth cake is also known as “flower cake”. It dates back to the Zhou Dynasty. It is said that the cake was originally prepared after autumn harvests for farmers to have a taste of what was just in season, and it gradually grew into the present cake for people to eat on the Double Ninth Day.A.Eating Double Ninth CakeB.Making “flower cake” with friendsC.A lot of poems were devoted to this customD.So people love to go sightseeing this monthE.It would not be drunk until the same day next yearF.Here are some traditional customs of the Double Ninth FestivalG.But few Chinese people are aware of the importance of the festival三、完形填空While traveling, you might have stayed at a hotel or a family member’s house. But have you ever thought about staying in a stranger’s 21 ?This might sound 22 , but it’s actually a trend that’s becoming popular around the world, including China.Lodging rental(借宿出租) companies like Airbnb are helping people look for cheap ways to 23 . This website allows people to rent out their 24 rooms or apartments as an alternative to 25 in over 190 countries.Created by young American men Brian Chesky, Joe Gebbia and Nathan Blecharczyk, Airbnb is a good example of a 26 economy.

This is no 33 car. Powley took out the car seats and changed the 34 to look more welcoming. He keeps it clean and puts flowers in it every day. He provides snacks and tells travelers where they can go and shower.But Airbnb does have some 35 .

If you’ll be taking vacation time in the coming year and plan on flying, here are some shopping tips to give your undivided attention to.When to buyIf you’re shopping for domestic flights, check prices on Tuesday afternoons. This is an old tip but still valid because most US carriers continue to release sales on Tuesday morning, and competitors quickly drop their fares to match the better deals.When to flyWeekdays continue to be generally cheaper times to fly than weekends for most flights. In the US specifically the cheapest days are typically Tuesday, Wednesday and Saturday. A good itinerary for the expensive US spring break travel period is Tuesday to Saturday; it won’t be cheap exactly, but it will save you money (in most cases) over weekend﹣to﹣weekend travel.Direct vs. connecting flightsCompare the price of direct with connecting fights. Sometimes adding a stop to your route will save you money, and it might be enough to endure the extra﹣long flying day. Some examples;Boston to Seattle : ﹩247 direct, ﹩234 one﹣stopSan Francisco to Raleigh/Durham: ﹩553 direct, ﹩362 one﹣stopOkay, the savings on Boston﹣Seattle might not be worth it to you, but I’ll bet you’ll think twice about the direct fight for San Francisco to Raleigh.Compare, compare, compare________ to go to your favorite airline site to purchase tickets without doing any comparison; it’s a recipe for disaster. Example: Let’s say you want to fly from New York to London and figure your favorite US legacy carrier will get you there for the best price.Airline price: ﹩554 round﹣tripComparison price: ﹩486Obviously, the legacy carrier did not have the cheapest flight, but wait, there’smore: The comparison site also showed a cheaper flight from the same legacy carrier (521USD).See what you’re missing when you fail to compare?(1)The best price for flights within the US could most possibly be found on________.A.Monday morning.B.Tuesday afternoon.C.Thursday morning.D.Sunday morning.(2)Ticket buyers are advised to________.A.choose direct flights rather than connecting ones.B.take the cheapest deal from their favorite airline.C.look for flight deals to Europe throughout the summer.D.avoid weekend﹣to﹣weekend flights in holiday seasons.(3)The underlined phrase “stifle the impulse” probably means “________.”A.feel free to do something.B.hold off on doing something.C.get well prepared for something.D.make quick decisions about something.【答案】BDB【考点】完形综合阅读理解综合【解析】本文是一篇广告布告类阅读,文章主要介绍了如果你打算在接下来的一年中休假并计划乘飞机旅行,这里有一些购物建议可以让你全神贯注.【解答】(1)B.细节理解题.根据“If you’re shopping for domestic flights, check prices on Tuesday afternoons”可知美国国内航班的最佳价格很可能在周二下午找到.故选B.(2)D.细节理解题.根据“In the US specifically the cheapest days are typically Tuesday,Wednesday and Saturday.

For a lot of people, getting a full night’s sleep is nothing more than just adream. Some of us climb into bed in the early evening, and the next thing we know, it’s 2in the morning and we’re sill staring at he ceiling.It’s common knowledge that sleep problems can be caused by things such as stress, anxiety, or even using a smart phone before bedtime. But recently, a team of researchers discovered that genes could also be a cause of sleepless nights.The scientists, from Rockefeller University in New York, US, found that delayed sleep phase disorder( DSPD, 睡眠时相延迟障碍), a condition that affects one’s slee ping patterns, is passed down via a mutated(突变的) gene. DSPD sufferers wake up laterand go to bed later than the average person. To come to their conclusion, the team studied a 46﹣year﹣old woman who is only usually able to fall asleep at 2 or 3 in the morning.It was discovered that the woman’s body produces the hormone that helps her sleep at night up to seven hours later than regular sleepers. The scientists found this was caused by a mutation in one of the woman’s genes,one that helps regulate the “body clock”.Some of the woman’s family members were also found to share the same mutation﹣and the same sleeping problems﹣leading the scientists to believe that sleep troubles are passed down through the generations.However, having this mutation d oesn’t mean you automatically have sleep problems. The team also found two people who had he mutation but reported no problems with their sleep.But while this is an interesting discovery, it offers no help to those who can’t fall asleep at night﹣although there are a few things you could try to help you sleep earlier.BBC journalist Michael Mosley produced a TV documentary in May in which he talkedabout his battle with insomnia(失眠) and the techniques he used.“I avoid social media for at least an hour before bed, I do mindfulness exercises, and if I wake up in the middle of the night, I read a book for an hour or so, ” he wrote in an article for the Radio Times.(1)What have scientists recently discovered about sleep problems?________A.Sleep problems can be a result of genetics.B.Stress and anxiety can cause sleep problems.C.Smart phones are the main cause of sleep problems nowadays.D.Sleep problems are more common among younger people.(2)What can we learn about the mutation of the gene related to sleep?________A.It will delay sleep for seven hours.B.It doesn’t necessarily cause sleep problems.C.It will be passed down to every future generation.D.It can be modified to help solve sleep problems.(3)What does Michael Mosley suggest doing before sleep to fight against insomnia?________A.Listening to light music.B.Reading interesting books.C.Keeping away from social media.D.Doing some outdoor exercises.(4)What’s the main purpose of the article?________A.To give advice on how to cure insomnia.B.To explain different reasons for sleep problems.C.To warn readers of the bad influences of sleeping late.D.To report the discovery of a genetic cause for sleep problems.【答案】ABCD【考点】阅读理解综合【解析】本文章主要向读者讲述了科学家的一种新的发现,一种影响睡眠质量和情况的基因问题,并对此进行了简单的介绍.【解答】(1)A.细节题.根据文章内容,But recently, a team of researchers discovered that genes could also be a cause of sleepless nights.最近的一项研究表明,基因也有可能造成睡眠问题.结合选项,故选A.(2)B.细节题.根据文章内容,However,having this mutation doesn’t mean you automatically have sleep problems.

2018届甘肃省高台县第一高三上学期第四次检测英语试题
2018届甘肃省高台县第一高三上学期第四次检测英语试题第一部分:阅读理解(共两节,20 分)第一节(共15 小题;每小题 2 分,共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,将正确的选项涂在答题卡上。
AThe giant water bodies like oceans,rivers, and lakes may seem attractive, but it is entirely different beneath and within them. So it’d be useful to inform you about the world’s most dangerous waters. If you’ve booked your trip to one of these places, it might be wise to change your plan.Fraser Island, AustraliaFraser Island is situated along the southern coast of Queensland, Au stralia. It’s known to be the largest sand island globally. While the scene and waters surrounding Fraser Island look beautiful, it’s a prohibited zone, as the seas are home to loads of sharks and other dangerous creatures.Kilauea, Hawaii, USKilauea is a town located on the northeastern shore of Kauai, one of the eight islands of Hawaii. Hawaii is well-known for its beautiful beaches, rolling waves and pleasant weather. However, the place has many active volcanoes like Mount Kilauea. The beach is dangerou s since it’s located close to active volcanoes.Victoria Falls, ZambiaThe Victoria Falls in the Zambia is a wonderful sight for it’s beauty, but is a dangerous place as well. There’s a natural pool called Devil’s Pool near the edge of the falls. The pool is a great spot for swimmers, but occasional deaths have taken place when people had slipped over the rock barrier. The huge cliff over which the falls move rapidly, changes the calm water into a violent stream.Recife, BrazilOver 100 shark attacks have occurred since 1931. Most of these attacks took place in a town of Brazil, called Recife, which has a beach, well-known for shark attacks. It was filled with swimmers and surfers, but that isn’t the case today, Today, the place is known to be one of the top 10 places with shark attacks in the world according to the International Shark Attack File.1.Who is the text intended for?A. PhotographersB. BiologistsC. TouristsD. Engineers2.Which two places have the same cause of their danger?A. Kilauea and RecifeB. Fraser Island and RecifeC. Kilauea and Victoria FallsD. Fraser Island and Victoria Falls3.What can we know about the waters mentioned in the text?A. They are appealing as well as dangerousB. They cause deaths on a yearly basis.C. They are located close to an island.D. They are deserted due to their danger.BRobert and Howard had always gotten along well. They’d worked on several projects together and considered each other friends. So when Robert discovered that Howard held a strategy meeting and hadn’t included him, he felt betrayed. He sent a text to Howard immediately: “I can’t believe you didn’t include me in that meeting!”Howard was in the middle of a client meeting when his phone received the new text. Stealing a look at his phone, he felt a mixture of things: concern, anger, embarrassment, frustration, defensiveness. The text distracted Howard, and his meeting didn’t go as well as he had hoped. His anger grew as he thought about the fact that in a meeting earlier that week, Robert didn’t support an idea Howard proposed to Jane, their CEO, though before the meeting Howard had said he liked the idea. So as soon as Howard stepped out of his client meeting, he sent a simple reply to Robert: “I can’t believe you left me hanging in our meeting with Jane.”Two little texts managed to upset a relationship that had been good for years. This brief but improper exchange can teach us a lot of things. For instance, don’t text when you’re angry, and don’t municate in the middle of any strong negative feeling.To make municating efficient, you should start with thinking about the oute you’re aiming for, and then respond in a way that will achieve that oute. In Robert and Howard’s situation, the outes they wanted were very similar: to be connected, and to be supported. Yet their reactions to each other brought them the exact opposite. Actually, the rule here is simple: Don’t municate just because you feel like it. Namely, they should municate when they both aren’t angry.4.Why did Robert send the text to Howard?A. Howard betrayed him at work.B. Howard held a meeting without inviting himC. Howard didn’t involve him in a project.D. Howard hid him from the truth5.What made Howard angrier?A. His meeting’s failure.B. His leader’s criticism.C. His friend’s negative textD. A previous unpleasant experience6. Why did Robert and Howard put an end to their friendship?A. They weren’t connected enoughB. They didn’t handle issues calmlyC. They were misled by someone else.D. They had a negative attitude towards life.7. What is the text focused on?A. The end of two close persons’ friendshipB. The effects of negative emotions on friendship.C. Lessons from two persons’ failing relationship.D. Ways to overe ineffective munications.CBrain tests at the age of three appear to predict a child's future chance of success in life, say researchers. Low cognitive(认知的)test scores for skills like language indicate less developed brains, possibly caused by too little stimulation(激励in early life. These youngsters are more likely to bee criminals, dependent on welfare or having long-lasting illness unless they are given support later on. Their study in New Zealand appears in the journal, Nature Human Behavior.The US researchers from Duke University say the findings highlight the importance of early life experiences and necessity to support disadvantaged youngsters. Although the study followed people in New Zealand, the investigators believe that the results could apply to other countries.They followed the lives of more than 1,000 children. Those who had low test scores for language, behavioral movement and cognitive skills at three years old went on to account for more than 80% of crimes, required 78% of prescriptions and received 66% of social welfare payments in adulthood.It is known that disadvantaged people use a greater share of services. While many of the children in the study who were behind in brain development came from disadvantaged backgrounds,poverty was not the only link with poor futures.When the researchers took out children below the poverty line in a separate analysis, they found that a similar proportion(比例)of middle class children who scored low in tests when they were three also went on to experience difficulties when they were older.8. According to Paragraph 1, the youngsters with low cognitive test scores ___________.A. will have developed brains laterB. will probably depend on welfare unless supportedC. are less likely to bee criminalsD. have no stimulation in their criminals9. The underlined word “highlight” in Paragraph 2 probably means “________”A.realizeB. stressC. brightenD. lighten10. From the text, we can infer that ____________.A. the children in New Zealand have low test scoresB. disadvantaged people have little access to publicC. not all poor futures result from povertyD. one’s success in life is determined by early test scores11. What could be the best title for the text?A. The success and the experienceB. Ways to predict a child’s future chance of successC.. The importance of family backgroundsD. Brain tests can predict children’s futuresDMost American students go to traditional public schools. There are about 88, 000 public schools all over the US. Some students attend about 3000 independent public schools called charter schools.Charter schools are self-governing. Private panies operate some charter schools. They are similar in some ways to traditional public schools. They receive tax money just as other public schools do. Charter schools must prove to local or state governments that their students are learning. These governments provide the schools with the agreement called a charter that permits them to operate.Charter schools are different because they do not have to obey most laws that governtraditional public schools. Local state, or federal governments cannot tell them what to teach. Each school can choose its own goals and decide what to teach and how to teach them in their own way. Class size is usually smaller than in traditional public schools.The Federal government strongly supports charter schools as a way to re-organize public schools, which are failing to educate students. But some education agencies and unions are against charter schools. One teachers’ union has just released the results of the first national study, which pared the progress of students in both traditional schools and charter schools.The American Federation of Teachers criticized the government's delay in releasing the results of the study, which is called the National Assessment of Educational Progress. Union education experts say the study shows that charter school students performed worse on math and reading tests than students in regular public schools.Some experts say the study is not fair because students in charter schools have more problems than students in traditional schools. Other education experts say the study results would make charter school officials realize that they should help their students make greater progress.12. Which of the following suggests charter schools are independent?A. They make greater progressB. They enjoy more freedomC. Their class size is smaller.D. They oppose traditional ways13. What’ s the government’ s attitude toward charter schools?A. Doubtful.B. Supportive. D. Satisfied. D. Unclear.14. What can we learn from the text?A. More students choose to attend charter schools.B. Charter schools are better than traditional schools.C. Students in charter schools are well educated.D. People have different opinions about charter schools.15. It can be inferred from the text that ___________.A. charter schools are all privately financedB. the number of charter schools will be limitedC. one-on-one attention should be paid to studentsD. charter schools are part of the public education system第二节(共 5 小题;每小题 2 分。

AThe Summer Holiday Activities for Families in the UKWhile the Astronaut spacewalk, Manchester last year remains in the memory of some families, our week-by-week guide to the school summer break this year features a host of special events and outdoor fun for kids, from open-air cinema and live music to coming face to face with dinosaurs.Polar fun, EdinburghDynamic Earth in Edinburgh is keeping cool this summer with lots of polar-themed activities, including family science shows on the Arctic and Antarctic, icy experiments, and craft designs where kids can make their own penguin, walrus or polar bear.• Until 28 August, £15 adults, £9. 50 children, d .Dinosaur events, various locationsDinosaurs in the Wild is a vivid, walk-through experience taking visitors back 67 million years to the late Cretaceous period Dinosaur Babies is an exhibition of dinosaur embryos and eggs, plus a model nest.

Tree climbing and family yoga.B. Craft designs and tree climbing.C. Guided bike rides and icy experiments.D. Storytelling in the forest and seeing dinosaur eggs.BNot lon g ago, I tried convincing my three daughters that the world’s secrets are hidden inside silence. The girls looked at me skeptically. Surely silence is nothing?Sitting there at the dinner table, I suddenly remembered their curiosity as children, their wondering about what might be hiding behind a door and their amazement as they stared at a light switch and asked me to “open the light”. But now they are 13, 16 and 19 and wonder less and less. If they still wonder at anything, they quickly pull out their smart phones to find the answer. None of them have any interest in discussing with me. To attract their attention, I told them about two friends of mine who had decided to climb Mount Qomolangma.Early one morning they left base camp to climb the south-west wall of the mountain. It was going well. Both reached the summit, but then came the storm. They soon realized they would not make it down alive. The first got hold of his pregnant wife by satellite phone. Together they decided on the name of the child that she was carrying. Then he quietly passed away just below the summit. My other friend was not able to contact anyone before he died. No one knows exactly what happened on the mountain in those hours. Thanks to the dry, cool climate 8km above sea level, they have both been freeze-dried. They lie there in silence, looking no different.The girls remained quiet, listening. It seemed as though they had got something.It is easy to assume that the essence (本质) of technology is technology itself, but that is wrong. The essence is the time we spend with our family and how much freedom we have bytechnology.4. What’s the real purpose of the author’s telling the story?A. To entertain the girls.B. To attract the girls, attention to technology.C. To encourage the gi rls to explore the world’s secret.D. To share a viewpoint about the essence of technology.5. Why are the girls unwilling to discuss problems with the author when they are puzzled?A. Because they don’t want to solve them.B. Because they can turn to the smart phone.C. Because they feel ashamed for their problems.D. Because they think it difficult to talk with others.6. How would the author think of the outcome of the storytelling?A. It s effective.B. It s unacceptable.C. It’s embarrassing.D. It s discouraging.7. What does technology really bring us according to the text?A. The time with our family and freedom.B. The answers to the puzzling problems.C. The information of learning the outside world.D. The choice of communicating with our friends.CWe all have different ways to navigate (导航) when lost-whether asking a stranger for help, consulting an old-school map or simply following our nose. But on a bike, the risks are higher. One wrong turn or that you’re in a traffic jam with two lanes betwe en your bike and the nearest pavement may ruin your good mood. Although cyclists, of course, managed to navigate before smart phones, cyclists can make two choices: a few stay calm and embrace getting lost, and the rest turn to a navigation app.Google Maps added a directions function for cyclists in 2015 in the US and Canada, and two years later across Europe. And while there are dozens of other apps now offering a similarservice, Google Maps has the demerits for many, so the app seems to be falling behind expectations.As someone with no sense of direction, I knew it wouldn’t be easy when I started cycling earlier this year. I appreciated that the app gave me two warnings before I needed to turn off a road, and automatically recalculated my route if I accidentally went off course. But still, it wasn’t a smooth process. Google Maps thought I could cut across a double carriageway with no breaks in its barri er, assumed I knew what it meant when it told me to “head west”, and thought nothing of taking me the wrong way down a busy one-way street.Cyclists don’t just want safety-they want convenience. Londoner Robson Smith regularly cycles between Clap ham and the City of London and would like to see Google Maps calculate routes where his bike is allowed on public transport and more choice of the type of routes he can take. “G oogle tends to calculate the most common and comfortable cycle routes. It would be better to have an option which included the fastest route, regardless of comfort,” he says.For this reason, Robson says he uses the app Cycle Streets instead. It offers a choice of four different route modes, based on the type the user wants, and saves previous routes. It also tells you how many calories a route burns, how many traffic lights you will encounter, and how busy it is.8. What higher risks may happen to cyclists according to Paragraph 1?A. Losing the way to their destinations.B. Making wrong plans about the directions.C. Staying still in the same place for a long time.D. Taking wrong turn or being caught in a traffic jam.9. What does the underlined word “demerits” in Paragraph 2 mean?A. Defence.B. Existence.C. Shortcomings.D. Techniques.10. What’s Robson’s opinion on Google Maps?A. It needs improving.B. It is difficult to operate.C. It can provide convenient courses.D. It offers the most common and fastest route.11. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A. The Different Apps in NavigationB. The Rise and Fall of Google MapsC. The Disadvantages of Google MapsD. Planning the Future of Google MapsDFor many of us, talking about money is embarrassing, especially revealing our income and spending habits in public. So it’s no wonder that seeking investment advice from computer program is so popular.Consultancy firm Accenture found that 68% of global consumers would be happy to use robot-advice to plan for retirement, feeling it would be faster, cheaper, and fairer than human advice. “Many of our customers say they feel awkward in face-to-face meetings, preferring an online experience where they don’t feel nervous,” says Lynn Smith, a director of robot-advice firm Wealth Wizards. So how does robot-advice work and is it really any better than traditional financial advice?Robot-adviser firms use algorithms (算法) to analyse your financial situation and goals and then work out an investment plan to suit you. Basically, you answer lots of questions online about your income, expenses, family situation, attitude to risk and so on, and then the algorithm allocates (分配) your savings to a series of investments, from index funds that aim to imitate a particular stock market index or sector, to fixed-income bonds.Robot-advice is certainly growing in popularity. But are we really happy to give up the human adviser completely? “No” is the short answer. Accenture finds that a significant proportion of us still want human interaction, particularly when our finances are complex. “When a customer needs advice surpassing a number of different regulatory regimes, human advice will be r equired,” says John Perks, managing director of life and pensions at UK insurer LV, which launched its Retirement Wizard robot-advice service two years ago.The truth is that only about a quarter of funds managed by clever humans overcome the market as a whole, so when you take into account the much higher management fees you pay for that kind of service, the performance difference is likely to be marginal (微不足道的) for most of us.The robots may be coming, but in this case at least, they seem to be on the side of the small investor trying to save for a comfortable retirement.12. What do we know about the robot-advice from the second paragraph?A. It s expensive but accurate.B. It’s beneficial and relaxing.C. It’s complex but fair.D. It’s suitable for all.13. If you want to use robot-advice, you should first .A. consult human adviceB. work out an investment planC. answer lots of questions onlineD. analyse your financial situation14. What does the underlined phrase “that kind of service” in Parag raph 5 refer to?A. The allocation of retirement.B. The robot-advice service.C. Human fund management.D. The performance difference.15. Why do we still need the human adviser according to the text?A. Because some clients face retirementB. Because some finances are complex.C. Because human interaction is necessary.D. Because the human adviser offers better service.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。

AThere has been an outpouring of love for a 23-year-old disabled woman whose dog was killed in front of her while a groomer(美容师) tried to trim(修剪) its claws.Calls and e-mails came from as far away as the Upper Peninsula and Arizona as well as Oakland and Macomb counties, offering Laurie Crouch, who uses a wheelchair because of multiple sclerosis(硬化症), everything from dogs to money, such as that from Jason Daly of Roseville who said, ‚ I would like to buyher a new dog.‛A story about the death of Crouch’s pet, Gooch, was printed on the front page of Macomb Daily. Crouch said a man sat on the dog to trim its nails. Gooch died after one claw was trimmed.Crouch yelled at the groomer to stop when she saw Gooch was struggling to breathe, but she said she was ignored. ‚If I could have walked, I would have put my hands on her and pulled her off my dog and physically stopped her, but I can’t do that.‛Gooch was not a trained service animal, but naturally helped Crouch by picking up things for her.‚This case is absolute animal abuse(虐待),‛ Larry Obrecht, division manager of the Oakland County Animal Shelter in Auburn Hills, said.People who read the story contacted Oakland Press to offer help.A message, from Rebecca Amett of Giggles N Wiggles Puppy Rescue, in Roseville, said, ‚We have puppies to donate … and want to help the young woman who lost her service dog.‛‚When Gooch was with me, I was happy,‛ Crouch said, ‚I think I can be happy again but no animal can replace Gooch. There’s never going to be another Gooch out there but I think I will find a dog that can bring me joy again.‛21. What does the passage mainly tell us?A. A disabled woman’s service dog.B. A cruel groomer killed a disabled woman’s dog.C. People’s love for a disabled woman who lost her dog.D. Disabled woman loves to have the dog as company.22. People called and emailed to .A. offer help and care to Laurie Crouch.B. give their angry voice to the groomer.C. offer a cure for Crouch’s disease.D. tell Crouch how to punish the groomer.23. We can infer from the passage that .A. Crouch refused to take another dog.B. Crouch must be sad after losing her dog.C. Crouch has accepted another dog from a stranger.D. Crouch can live well without a dog’s company.BWhat's your idea of a good time? What about dancing in a rainy field with one hundred and fifty thousand other people while a famous rock band plays on a stage so far away that the performers look like ants?It may sound strange but that is what many hundreds of thousands of young people in the UK do every summer. Why?Because summer is the time for outdoor music festivals.Held on a farm, the Glastonbury Festival is the most well-known and popular in the UK. It began in 1970 and was attended by one thousand five hundred people each paying an admission price of £1 including free milk from the farm. Since then the Glastonbury Festival has gone from strength to strength --- in 2004 one hundred and fifty thousand fans attended, paying £112 for tickets to the three-day event. Tickets for the event sold out within three hours. Acts included veteran superstars, such as Paul McCartney and James Brown, as well as new talent, like Franz Ferdinand and Joss Stone. Although many summer festivals are run on a profit-making basis, Glastonbury is a charity event, donating millions of pounds to local and international charities.Glastonbury is not unique in using live music to raise money for global poverty. In July of this year, the Live 8 concerts will be held simultaneously in London, Paris, Rome and Berlin. Superstars, such as Madonna, Sir Elton John and Stevie Wonder will perform in order to highlight international poverty and debt.24. What does the author mean by saying ‚the GlastonburyFestival has gone from strength to strength‛ in the fourth paragraph?A. The festival has achieved growing success.B. Great efforts have been made to hold the festival.C. The festival has brought in a large amount of money.D. There have been thousands of fans attending the festival25 . Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. The Glastonbury Festival is run on a profit-making basis.B. Tickets for the 2004 Glastonbury Festival were in great demand despite the high price.C. Both James Brown and Joss Stone were born in poor families.D. In the 1970 Glastonbury Festival, one could have lunch on the farm for free.26. We can learn from the last paragraph that __________.A. the Glastonbury Festival is not so popular as the Live8 concertsB. the Live 8 concerts are held every year in London.C. London, Paris, Rome and Berlin are famous for outdoor music festivalsD. some superstars are concerned about global poverty.27. What is the best title for the passage?A. How to have a good timeB. Charity events around the worldC. The Glastonbury FestivalD. Superstars’ performances in charity eventsCAfter moving to the United States, immigrant groups trying to fit in tend to choose high-calorie, fatty foods in an attempt to appear more American, a new study finds. That's one reason why immigrants approach U.S. levels of obesity within 15 years of moving to America.When their American identity was called into question during a follow-up study, Asian-American participants also tended to choose typical American dishes, such as hamburgers and grilled cheese sandwiches, over more Asian fare. In that experiment, 55 Asian-Americans were asked to choose a meal from a local Asian or American restaurant. Some participants were told that only Americans could participate in the study. Those who chose the more typical American fare ended up consuming an extra 182 calories, including 12 grams of fat and seven grams of saturated fat(饱和脂肪)."People who feel like they need to prove they belong in a culture will change their habits in an attempt to fit in," said Sapna Cheryan, an author of the study and assistant professor of psychology at the University of Washington. "If immigrants and their children choose unhealthy American foods over healthier traditional foods across their lives, this process of fitting in could lead to poorer health," Cheryan added. Social pressures, the study concluded, are at the heart of the problem. "In American society today, being American is associated with being white. Americans who don't fit this image even if they were born here and speak English feel that pressure to prove that they're American," said Cheryan.28. According to the survey, _____.A. Asia-Americans care less about their health.B. 25 percent of Americans like junk food.C. choosing food is related to Asian-American’s situationD. immigrants are forced to eat junk food.29. The underlined word ‚fare‛ in Paragraph 3 most probably means ‚_____‛A. food offered as a mealB. a person taking a taxiC. money spent on foodD. an arranged thing to do30. According to Sauna Cheryan, ________.A. what immigrants have done is ridiculousB. American traditional foods are healthierC. immigrants risk their health in order to fit inD. American culture affects immigrants deeply31. Which of the following should take the blame for the bad eating habit?A. The situation of employmentB. The traditional cultureC. The American governmentD. The pressures from societyDRaw and whole foods are usually digested more efficiently than cooked and refined foods. When we cook foods, we destroy the natural enzymes (酶) that are part of the food in its raw form. These enzymes were intended by nature to help us digest the food. When we consume food without these natural enzymes, our bodies either digest the food improperly or allow too many nutrients to be absorbed into the bloodstream. In both instances, the result is obesity. When too many nutrients areabsorbed at once, the body grows fat. Improperly digested food moves slowly through the digestive tract, where it becomes increasingly acidic. To protect its vital organs from this acidic waste, the body changes the acid into fat and stores it safely away from the organs.Processed foods contain chemical elements, which might confuse the appetite mechanism that tells us when we’ve had enough to eat; as a result, people often overeat. Processed foods also upset the digestive cycle. The body will either identify these foods as allergens and then store them safely away from the organs as fat, or the remains of undigested food will become acidic and enter the bloodstream as acid waste, which will stick to the blood vessel walls and block the passage of vital oxygen and nutrients heading for the body’s cells. The body’s metabolism (新陈代谢)becomes inactive, and the result is weight gain and obesity.The accumulation of acid in the digestive tract makes digestion increasingly inefficient. When that happens, even healthy foods can become acidic and the food allergies will become more common.To stop this vicious circle in its tracks, people need to consume food and supplements that will neutralize the acidalready accumulated in body. Eating the right types of raw and whole foods can help. It’s also important to restore your enzyme balance. You need to identify and avoid the foods that cause acid accumulation and consume the foods that increase enzyme production. If you truly want to change and help your body heal itself, you need to take an active approach.32. It can be inferred from Para. 2 that __________.A. foods with natural enzymes help people keep fitB. we’d better be cautious about raw and whole foodsC. it is essential for people to protect their vital organsD. giving up cooked and refined foods is a new lifestyle33. Processed foods are unhealthy because they __________.A. destroy body’s cellsB. may lead to obesityC. are difficult to digestD. stop body’s metabolism34. What is the main purpose of this passage?A. To warn people of the problem of obesity.B. To advocate eating more raw and whole foods.C. To inform people of the harm of processed foods.D. To tell the differences between raw and processed foods.35. What is likely to be talked about following the last paragraph?A. Different causes of acid accumulation.B. Correct ways tocook raw foods.C. Suitable types of raw and whole foods.D. Active approachesto avoid acid.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。
