I am delighted with the house I am renting from him, which suits me perfectly.Mr. Heathcliff is my only neighbour, and I think his character性格is similar to mine. He does not like people either.When I introduced myself, he said nothing, but frowned皱眉, and did not encourage me to enter. After a while, however, he decided to invite me in.“Joseph!” he called. Joseph was an old servant. He looked crossly故意为难地，⽣⽓地 up at me as he took my horse. “God help us! A visitor!” 25.he whispered to himself. Perhaps there wereno other servants, I thought. And it seemed that Heathcliff hardly ever received guests.His house is called Wuthering Heights. The name means “a windswept被风吹的house on a hill”, and it is a very good description. 26.The trees around the house are bent by the north wind, which blows fiercely every day of the year. Fortunately, the house is strongly built, and is not damaged even by the worst winter storms.Mr. Heathcliff and I entered the huge main room. We sat down by the fire, in silence.“Joseph!” shouted Mr. Heathcliff. No answer came from the cellar地下室, so he dived down there, leaving me alone with several rather相当地fierce-looking dogs. Suddenly one of them jumped angrily up at me, and in a moment all the others were attacking me.“Help! Mr. Heathcliff! Help!” I shouted. My landlord was nowhere to be seen, but luckily a woman, who might be the housekeeper, rushed into the room to calm the dogs.“What is the matter?” Mr. Heathcliff aske d me rudely, as he finally entered the room, accompanied by his man-servant.“Your dogs, sir!” I replied. “You shouldn’t leave a stranger with them. They’re dangerous.”“Come, come, Mr. Lockwood. Have some wine. We don’t often have strangers here. I’m afraid neither I nor my dogs are used to receiving them.” I could not feel offended冒犯的after this, and accepted the wine. We sat drinking and talking together for a while. I suggested visiting him tomorrow. He did not seem eager to see me again, but I shall go anyway. He seems a fascinating man.24. In which order以什么顺序should the following events be arranged?a. Mr. Lockwood introduced himself to his landlord.b. Mr. Lockwood and Mr. Heathcliff sat drinking and talking together.c. Mr. Heathcliff invited Mr. Lockwood into the house.d.

He was strange but friendly.CA group of blue-faced birds step through the grass shoulder to shoulder肩并肩,red eyes looking around. They look like middle schoolers⼩学⽣seeking a cafeteria table at lunchtime. Perhaps they’re not so different.A new study, led by Damien Farine, an ornithologist鸟类学家who studies collective behaviour集体⾏为, shows that the vulturine秃鹰似的Guineafowl珠鸡of eastern Africa, like humans, have multilevel多层次的societies. In the past, scientists assumed such social structures required a lot of brainpower脑⼒.But the pea-brained guineafowl are revealing揭露the faults in that assumption设想.These large birds wander across the landscape in packs, often walking so closely that their bodies touch. They may fight each other to maintain维持their strict hierarchies (等级制度), but at other times they engage in从事/参加/忙于friendly behaviours like sharing food.28.Suspecting 怀疑the guineafowl might have a social structure社会结构, Dr. Farine and his colleagues began a thorough彻底的study of their society. 29.For a whole year, they made daily observations of 441 birds. Coloured leg bands in unique combinations let researchers tell theblack-and-blue birds apart. They also attached GPS devices to the backs of 58 birds, which let them see exactly where every group went, 24 hours a day.The findings of the research suggest表明t hat the vulturine guineafowl have a multilevel society. There are groups within groups within the population as a whole. There even seem to be groups of friends within the small groups. This is the firsttime anyone has observed such a society in a bird.And Dr. Farine emphasizes this particular bird’s tiny brain size: “They don’t only have small brains relative to mammals ( 哺乳动物), they also have quite small brains relative to other birds,” he said.According to him, living in this kind of society might actually make it easier to keep track of the social order. For example, if groups are stable稳定的and a bird can identify just one or two individuals within a group, it knows which group it’s looking at —no need for a brain that can recognize every single animal. Multilevel societies also let animals adjust their group sizes based on whatever challenges they’re facing. Depending on what enemies or resources are around, it might make sense to travel in a combined group rather than a smaller one.“Having a multilevel structure may not require having a large brain,” Dr. Farine said. There may be more birds and other animals out there that, although small-brained, have societies as many-leveled as our own.28. According to the passage, what inspired Dr. Farine to carry out the study?A. His interest in animal brainpower.B. Previous assumptions about birds. C．The guineafowl’s social behaviour.D．The faults in earlier research.29. What is Paragraph 4 mainly about?A．The research subjects.B．The research methods.C．The research findings.D．The research equipment.30. What can be learned from the passage?A. Complex social systems can be a disadvantage to the guineafowl.B. The guineafowl are good at recognizing individuals in a group.C．Birds maintain social order by travelling in combined groups.D．Small-brained animals can form multilevel societies.31. What is the main purpose of the passage?A. To introduce a new approach to observing the guineafowl.B. To explain the interaction patterns in multilevel societies.C. To present the findings of a study of the guineafowl.D. To uncover揭露clues 线索about how complex societies are formed.D32.You can’t make a call or send a text on your mobile phone in the US town of Green Bank, West Virginia. Wireless Internet is outlawed不合法的, as is Bluetooth蓝⽛也⼀样. As you approach the tiny town on a two-lane road that snakes曲折前进through the mountains, your mobile phone signal drops out, and your radio stops working. The rusted⽣锈的pay phone付费电话on the nor th side of town is the only way for a visitor to reach the rest of the world. It’s a pre-modern place by design, lacking of the latest technologies that define life today.The reason for the town’s empty airwaves电视⼴播is apparent the moment you arrive你⼀到达. It’s the Robert C. Byrd telescope, also known as the GBT, a shiny white, 147-metre-tall satellite dish. It’s the largest of its kind in the world and one of nine in Green Bank, all of them government owned and operated by the National Radio Astronomy Observatory (NRAO).33.You don’t look through these kinds of telescopes. They’re radio telescopes⽆线电天⽂望远镜, so instead of looking for distant stars, they listen for them. There’s a long line of astronomers all over the world who want to use the telescope which is so sensitive that it could hear a single snowflake hitting the ground 1,000 miles away.Such a sensitive listening tool needs total technological silence to operate, so in 1958 the US government created a National Radio Quiet Zone, a 33,000 km2 area covering Green Bank where, to this day, electronic and radio signals are forbidden every hour of every day.People who live within a 15km of the Green Bank telescope 34.are allowed to use landline telephones固定电话, wired Internet and cable televisions, but microwave ovens, wireless Internet and radios are forbidden. You can have a mobilephone, but you won’t get a signal.Because of how much its way of life varies from the rest of America, Green Bank seems tobe a somewhat isolated (隔绝), even alien place. For locals, the technology ban is annoying.35.For others who come to Green Bank for a little rest and relaxation, the town has become a refuge避难所.32. What do we know about the town of Green Bank from Paragraph 1?A. It’s located at the base of a large mountain.B. It is geographically and technologically isolated. 在地理位置上和技术上都被孤⽴/隔离了C. Its telecommunications are affected by its geography.电讯受到地理条件的影响D. Many people live in the town and its surrounding areas.33. How does the GBT work?A. It traps light waves i n its huge dish.B. It stops all electronic and radio signals.C. It receives pictures from space satellites.D. It listens for注意听and receives noises from space.34. What equipment are locals of the Green Bank allowed to use?A. Cable TV, wired Internet and radio.B. Landline phones, wired Internet and cable TV.C. Public phones, wireless Internet and mobile phones.D. Landline phones, microwave ovens and cable internet.35. What does the underlined word “refuge” in the last paragraph most probably mean?A. A place of escape.B. A source of confusion.C. An area of interest.D. A sign of danger.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。

Left in poor conditions with no food or water, they have little hope as they live out their days without the mercy they deserve. Some are found and rescued, given the chance to experience how great life and humans can be; others aren't so lucky. To grow as a nation, we must fight for these abused(受虐待的) animals’ rights and seriously punish heartless owners.One of the first steps in protecting animals and creating effective cruelty laws is to know what animal cruelty actually is. There are two categories: passive cruelty and active cruelty. The first involves acts of omission, meaning the abuse happens as a result of ignorance or lack of action. Passive cruelty might seem less serious, but that is not the case; it can lead to terrible pain and suffering, and finally death. Examples include starvation, inadequate shelter in extreme weather conditions, and the failure to get medical care. Passive cruelty is sometimes due to the owner's ignorance, so many animal control officers will first try to educate ignorant owners on how to properly care for animals before giving them a citation(传票) or putting them in prison.Active cruelty, on the other hand, is more well-known and disturbing. Sometimes referred to as non-accidental injury, this type of abuse involves purposeful harm on an animal in order to feel more powerful or gain control. Active cruelty against animals should be taken very seriously, since it can be a sign that a person hasserious psychological issues and may commit more acts of violence---possibly against humans.It is hard to tell just what drives people to harm innocent animals. Most animal abusers find some sort of achievement or power in torturing a victim that they know can't fight back. While not all animal abusers become serial killers, it is important to take every case seriously.As a nation we need to make it our right to come together and ensure the safety of our beloved pets. As Margaret Mead once said, “Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has.”4. What is the first step to do with the passive cruelty abusers?A. To throw them into prison.B. To bring the case to the court.C. To teach them how to treat animals.D. To give them a strong warning.5. We can learn from Para.3 that active cruelty ______.A. is actually a sign of power or controlB. has been taken seriously in the nationC. may lead to serious psychological problemsD. may cause acts of violence against humans6. What is the author’s attitude towards animal cruelty?A. Uncertain.B. Doubtful.C. Concerned.D. Pessimistic.7. The author wrote this passage to ______.A. warn those heartless pet ownersB. tell people the harm of animal crueltyC. explain the reasons why people harm animalsD. call on people to fight for the abused animalsCYou must have read "The Tortoise and the Hare(《龟兔赛跑》)" when you were younger. So which animal are you? The tortoise or the hare? Do you rush around trying to do things as quickly as possible? Or do you deal your work at a slow , but steady(稳定的)pace? Whether you approach life like the tortoise or the hare can make a difference in the results you'll see.Some will say that you should avoid being like the hare. After all. he was overconfident and finally lost the race. You mayalso have heard teachers say from time to time that "haste makes waste”. But what does that mean?Most people think it meant that the faster you do something,the more likely it is that you'll make mistakes. Many teaches wantyouto approach your schoolwork thoughtfully and carefully.But does haste always make waste? Not necessarily ! Some people are able to work quickly while also maintaining(保持)a high level of quality in all that they do. Recent research, however, is making the idea of haste making waste seem more believableResearchers found that the brain changes into a special mode(模式)when forced to make rapid decisions. Overall, there appears to be a trade-off between speed and correctness. As the brain makes decisions more quickly, those decisions are usually built on less information, which often leads to a greater likelihood of mistakes.When you approach things like the tortoise. you methodically and steadily work towards your goal. You might not arrive there first, but then again you might! In any case, you're likely to make fewer mistakes and you might just enjoy the journey more than the bare.Goals are great to work towards, but often the achievements aren't what we remember. In the end, the most meaningful and important parts of our lives are the journeys we went on , not the destination we reached. So be the hare when you have to, but always remember that the slow and steady journey is what you’ll remember and treasure the most.8. Why does the author mention the story in the first paragraph?A. To introduce the topic.B. To show its popularity.C. To suggest its importance.D. To advise readers to read it.9. For what purpose do teachers often say “haste makes waste to students?A. To ask them not to waste their time.B. To tell them it is OK to make mistakes.C. To ask them to avoid making silly mistakes.D. To tell them they should check their schoolwork.10. What is Paragraph 4 mainly about?A. How the brain collects the information it needs.B. When the decision made by the brain is correct.C. Why the quickly-made decision is often unwise.D. What the relationship between lime and results is.11. Which of the following may the author agree with?A. Finishing the race is often a victory for everyone.B. Joy is found not in finishing an activity but in doing it.C. The journey to every destination starts with a small step.D. A destination is important because it guides us on the journey.DSome years ago a young man applied to a large United States optical firm for a job as a lens designer. He apologized for lack of training, but on announcing that he owned two copies of the classic Conrady's Applied Optics and Optical Design, one for his office and a second for his bedside table, he was hired on the spot. Perhaps the story will be repeated some day with Buchdahl's Introduction to Hamiltonian Optics as a similar certificate of qualification.Hamiltonian theory describes with powerful generality the overall properties of optical systems considered as ‘black boxes’, although it does not describe the detailed structure needed to construct the systems and achieve these properties. Buchdahl's book is therefore on the subject of geometrical optics, but it is not about how to design lenses. It is, however a compact comprehensive account of the fundamentals of the theory written with the lens designer's needs very much in mind. Every lens designer worth his salt has at some time in his career attempted to apply the broad concepts of Hamiltonian optics to the solutions of practical problems. Success has been sufficiently rare that the theory, as such, has made little direct contribution to techniques for optical instrument design. The failures have been frustrating because of the obvious fundamental power of the theory and because of its conceptual elegance. The indirect effects have been large, however, both in contributing to an understanding of fundamental principles that govern the overall behavior of optical systems and in pointing the way to other, more practical, theoretical approaches.Buchdahl approaches the subject not only as a capable mathematical physicist, but as one who with a knowledge of practical optics has made a significant contribution to geometrical optical theory. Buchdahl's approach has, over the last decade, had a major impact on modern lens design with computers. Thus, he brings to this exposition of Hamiltonian optics a familiarity with practical optics not usually found in authors on this subject.The author claims his book to be non-mathematical, and indeed it might be so viewed by a professional mathematician.

We may not be said to see the limits of our own abilities, so we do ambitious things that are completely beyond us. Our career masters can see our good qualities and our limitations __45__. They may tell us that we haven’t the ability to deal with people and would make good busines smen. We refuse to take their evaluation. We keep on trying.

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)The American Craftsman style is as a type of design. It was popular from 1900 to the 1930s. It changed the style of building in the United States.The craftsman style originally began in Europe. The British arts and Crafts style arose in the 1860s. The unique designs of this movement tried to offer dignity to the common person. Handmade items were preferred because they were thought better than items that were mass-produced. But this British style was still Victorian. It still only served the wealthiest clients.In 1897 a group of Boston architects brought these handcrafted styles to American. They planned a show of craft objects, which turned out to be a huge success. Here they realized the potential and established the Society of Arts and Craf t on June 28, 1897. Its slogan was “todevelop and encourage higher standards in the handicrafts.”The American style began as the Victorian Era was ending. It emphasized handmade work Originality and implicitly were highly valued. Local materials and the quality of the handicraft were very important, these traits were meant to dignify the modest homes of the middle class.These simple designs used glass and wood that were produced locally. They were also very elegant. The metalwork was a reaction to Victorian Opulence. The increase of mass-produced housing items was rejected. The American Craftsman used clean lines. It also relied on study structure Natural materials were always used in these houses if possible.This style introduced many changes to the average American home. New designs were made for families without servants. This was a trait of the new middle class. The kitchen went from being a hidden room to a prominent one. Another development was the breakfast nook. This new area provided the family with a place to gather at any time of day.Also, inspirational to the Craftsman style were the Shaker and Mission designs. The American Craftsman style led to the Art Deco Movement of the 1930s.56. According to the passage, the American Craftsman style is a type of _______.A. Shaker and Mission designB. house made for families with servantsC. design which was popular from 1900 and 1930sD. breakfast nook57. According to Paris all the following are true about the American Craftsman style EXCEPT?A. The breakfast nook, provided the family with a place to gatherB. The richest became a more prominent room.C. The style did one make any changes to the middle-class American home.D. Houses were designed for a new middle class with no servant.58. The word opulence in the passage is closest in meaning to _______.A. richnessB. greedC. uglinessD. distastes(B)There have always been a lot of continually believed but false ideas about being fat and dong exercise. Some people believe that they can’t help putting us wright as they get older, whileothers hold that if they stop exercising, their muscles will care into fat. Here are some more myths. I’ll never lose weight -- I come from a fat family.Wrong ! while we can’t change the body type we are born with. We can’t blame our games for making us fat. There’s plenty of evidence that fatness runs in families, and the main reason is that they share the same habit of eating too much and exercise too little.I am fat because I burn calories slowlyWrong! Fatness is not caused by a slow metabolism（新陈代谢）, in fact, although fat people consume more energy than slim people, they also fail to realize how much they eat: Keeping a diary can help you work out your daily food intake more accurately.Exercise is boringWrong ! Anything will become boring if you do it repetitively. The key is to develop a balanced and varied program that’s fun as well as progressive. If you enjoy a Sunday walk, take a different route. If you do yoga, try a tai chi class. If you like swiping, set yourself a distance or time challenge.No pain, no gainWrong! Exercise is not meant to hurt. Indeed, pain is your body telling you something’s wrong, and continuing to exercise could lead to serious injury. You may experience mild discomfort as you begin to exercise regularly, but this is your body adapting to the positive changes in your lifestyle and the aches should disappear relatively quickly. It they don’t, rest and seek medical advice.59. What does the author think about being fat?A. It is the family genes that make people fat.B. People are fat because they consume too little energy.C. A diary of exercise can prevent people from becoming fat.D. It is the consequence of people’s unbalanced lifestyle.60. According to the author, how can we make exercise more interesting?A. By taking varies exercise.B. By choosing simple exercise.C. By doing regular exercise.D. By sticking to outdoor exercise.61. What is the author’s opinion about “No pain, no gain” in exercising?A. Keeping fit is essentially a painful experience.B. Exercise should be stopped if continuous pain is felt.C. Pain in exercise is a precondition for reaching your goal.D. Getting used to pain leads to positive changes in your body.62. What is the purpose of the passage?A. To declare the importance of keeping fit.B. To clarify some misconceptions about fatness and exerciseC. To confirm what has long been believed about keeping fit.D. To explain some facts about being fat and doing exercise(C)Humans are naturally drawn to other life forms and the worlds outside of our own．We take delight in the existence of creatures and even whole societies beyond our everyday lives．This sense of wonder is universal look at the efforts that scientists have made to find out whether life of some kind exists on Mars, and the popularity of fantasy(幻想)literature or movies like The lord of the Rings, This sense of wonder draws us to each other, to the world around us, and to the world of make-believe. But have we gone so far in creating worlds of fantasy that we are missing the pleasure of other worlds that already exist all around us?Human beings, as biologists have suggested, possess an inborn desire to connect with and understand other life forms. However, people, especially in big cities, often lead rather isolated lives. In a study of British schoolchildren, it was found that children by age eight were much more familiar with characters from television shows and video games than with common wildlife. Without modern technology, a small pond could be an amazing world filled with strange and beautiful plants, insects, birds, and animals. When we lack meaningful interaction(交互) with the world around us, and sometimes even with our families and friends, we seek to understand and communicate with things that exist only in our imaginations or on a computer screen.The world of make-believe is not necessarily bad. But when the world of fantasy becomes the only outlet(出路) for our sense of wonder, then we are really missing something. We are missing a connection with the living world. Other wonderful worlds exist all around us. But even more interesting is that if we look closely enough, we can see that these worlds, in a broad sense, are really part of our own.(1)The popularity of The Lord of the rings proves ________A．the close connection between man and the fantasy worldB．the wonderful achievements of fantasy literatureC．the fine taste of moviegoers around the worldD．the general existence of the sense of curiosity(2)What can we infer from the underlined sentence in Paragraph 3?A．People are far less familiar with the world of fantasy.B．The world around us could serve as a source of wonder.C．The world of fantasy can be mirrored by a small and lively pond.D．Modern technology prevents us from developing our sense of wonder.(3)If our sense of wonder relics totally on the world of make-believe．we will ________．A．fail to appreciate the joy in our livesB．be confused by the world of make-believeC．miss the chance to recognize the fantasy worldD．be trapped by other worlds existing all around us(4)What is the main purpose of the passage?A．To show us the hidden beauty in our world．B．To warn us not to get lost in the fantasy wonderC．To argue against the misuse of the sense of wonderD．To discuss the influence of the world of make-believe(D)WANT to improve your life? Then do something awesome.According to a recent article in The Wall Street Journal, researchers have found thatawe-inspiring experiences improve our prosocial (亲社会的) behaviors, making us more generous and more humble (谦恭的). Awe-inspiring experiences make us more empathetic, allowing us to recognize another person’s emotional expressions better and respond with concern. And they make us more willing to engage with trust and connect with others.What kind of experiences can be called “awe-inspiring”? The examples mentioned by the journal include scuba diving, witnessing the birth of a child, watching a meteor (流星) shower,and visiting a forest. A man said he found it awe-inspiring to work with homeless people and witness their courage and kindness. Awe is an emotional response to something very large, says the article, and it challenges and expands our way of seeing the world.Is the feeling of awe felt the same to all the people? No, the feeling of awe is felt differently by different individuals, and for different reasons. The deep blue ocean might inspire different feelings in a poet than in a fisherman, for example. According to an article in The Atlantic, a 2012 study form Stanford University investigated several aspects of awe and came to an interesting conclusion: the feeling of awe changes the way you think about time. The study says an awe-inspiring experience is a moment so overwhelming that time seems to stand still.When you look at or experience something awesome, like looking at a waterfall or a sky filled with stars, your mind is fixed on the present moment. Time seems to slow down, the Stanford researchers concluded, making you feel like you have more of it to spare. this makes you feel more patient, less materialistic, and more willing to help others.Other researchers believe awe is powerful because it takes us out of our own heads. “Awe makes our individual identity less important and gets us to think about things bigger than ourselves,” Paul Piff, assistant professor of psychology at the University of California, told The Wall Street Journal. Piff has found that many simple things in life inspire awe-listening to a piece of music you haven’t heard before, going on a nature hike, or going to a pop concert. All you need to do is start noticing and marveling at the world around you.67. The underlined word “ empathetic” in Paragraph 2 is closest to meaning to ________.A. tolerantB. enthusiasticC. independentD. understanding68. The following things are mentioned as awe-inspiring experiences EXCEPT_________.A. scuba diving or witnessing the birth of a childB. watching a meteor shower or visiting a forestC. listening to your favorite music or going to a pop concertD. looking at a waterfall or going on a nature hike.69. How do awe-inspiring experience change the way people think about time and make them more patient, according to the research?A. By changing their emotional response to something large.B. By making them more focused on the present momentC. By making them realize the life is too short to waste.D. By inspiring them to face the challenges ahead of them70. According to Paul Piff, _________.A. awe is beneficial for social harmonyB. awe often comes in an unexpected wayC. only adventurous experiences inspire awe.D. awe makes us more confident in ourselves参考答案：II.

B.A traveler's journal.C.A news report.D.A trip guide.BThere are 195 countries in the world today but almost none of them have purple on their national flag. So what’s wrong with purple? It’s such a popular color1 today. Why would no country use it in their flag? The answer is really quite simple. Purple was just for too expensive.The color1 purple has been associated with royalty power and wealth for centuries. Queen Elizabeth I forbade anyone except close members of the royal family to wear it. Purple’s high status comes from the rarity and cost of the dye (染料)originally used to produce it. Fabric traders got the dye from a small sea snail (海螺)that was only found in the Tyre region of the Mediterranean. More than 10,000 snails were needed to create just one gram of purple; not to mention a lot of work went into producing the dye, which made purple dye so expensive.Since only wealthy rulers could afford to buy and wear the color1 , it became associated with the royal family. Sometimes, however, the dye was too expensive even for royalty. Third century Roman Emperor Aurelio famously wouldn’t allow his wife to buy a scarf made from purple silk because it cost three times its weight in gold. A single pound of dye cost three pounds of gold, which equals 56,000 dollars today. Therefore, even the richest countries couldn’t spend that much having purple on their flags.The dye became more accessible to lower-class about a century and a half ago. In 1856, 18-year-old English chemist William Henry Perkin accidentally created a man-made purple compound (化合物)while attemptingto produce an anti-malaria drug. He noticed that the compound could be used to dye fabrics, so he patented the dye, manufactured it and got rich. Purple dye was then mass-produced so everybody could afford it.Till now, a handful of new national flags have been designed and a few of them have chosen to use purple in their flag. So don’t be making any bets just yet.4. Why was color1 purple expensive in the past?A. Because only royal families were allowed to wear purple.B. Because it took a long time to get purple dye from gold.C. Because purple was worth as much as its weight in gold.D. Because purple dye used to be rare and hard to produce.5. Why did Roman Emperor Aurelio forbid his wife to buy a purple scarf?A. Because of poor quality.B. Because of long tradition.C. Because of bad taste.D. Because of high price.6. What is purple's situation now?A. Purple has been widely used on national flags.B. Purple dye is now affordable to ordinary people.C. Royal family stop using purple because it’s toocommon.D. Fewer snails are used to produce purple dye than before.7. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?A. No Purple Flags?B. Purple vs GoldC. How to Produce Purple Dye?D. The Birth of Purple ColorCSome of the oldest art in human history is being damaged, scientists say. And climate change may be speeding up its loss. Newresearch reports that ancient rock art in Indonesian caves is degrading over time, as bits of rock slowly break off from the walls. It's a huge loss for human history.Salt crystals（结晶）building up on the walls are a key part of the problem, the study suggests. These salt crystals go into the cave walls, changing sizes as temperatures rise and fall. This process causes the rock to slowly break down.Salt crystals may become larger when exposed to repeated changes between wet conditions and periods of drought. These kinds of changes are expected to become more obvious as the climate continues to warm.In particular, the researchers say, climate change may cause more intense El Nino（厄尔尼诺）events in the future. These events can strengthen the kinds of conditions that help salt crystals form Scientists are still debating the exact influence of climate change on El Nino, a natural climate cycle that drives changing patterns of warming and cooling in thePacific Ocean.The new study, led by Jillian Huntley, examined 11 ancient cave art sites in South Sulawesi, Indonesia. The researchers found evidence of salt formation at all 11 sites. It's merely a small part There are more than 300 known eave art sites around the region. The researchers note that salt crystals may indeed be part of the problem,adding that climate change is a growing threat, one that deserves more attention.8. What is the main cause of the rocks breaking off from the wall?A. Weather patterns.B. Salt crystals.C. Wet conditions.D. Drought Periods.9. Which of the following may researchers agree with?A. El Nino events prevent salt crystals forming.B. Climate change makes little difference to El Nino.C.Salt crystals may become much larger in wet conditions.D. Constant warm weather may cause salt crystals to change size.10. Which word best describes Huntley's attitude to climate change?A. Worried.B. Curious.C. Doubtful.D. Positive.11. What can we learn from thelast paragraph?A. The formation and patterns of salt crystals.B. The impact of climate change on ancient rock arts.C. The historical value of ancient rock art in cave sites.D. The threats of human activities to ancient eave art sites.DFor years, Zach Ault, a father of three, enjoyed being physically active. He was even training for a half-marathon. But in 2017, he took time off to recover from an infection. After recovering, he tried to continue his runs but could not complete them. He was not able to spend time with his children. He had to cut back his job. Even sleeping as much as 16 hours a day made no difference in his condition.“His body had literally hijacked him and it wasn't going to allow him to push through, ” said Anne Ault, his wife. After months of testing, doctors announced their result-chronic fatigue syndrome, a disease that makes an individual feel extremely tired.This fatigue lasts more than six months and becomes worse after any kind of physical exertion (费力活动). Patients may have difficulty standing upright. They also may have trouble thinking, often described as a “brain fog”. There are no approvedtreatments, or even tests to help with diagnosis. There is no way to predict who will recover and who will have a severe case that lasts for years.Now the doctors at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) are conducting a unique study to learn more about the condition. Zach Ault is one of the subjects in the study. When Ault rides an exercise bicycle, scientists measurehow his leg muscles use oxygen. Afterward, doctors fit a special cap on Ault's head to measure electrical activity in his brain. They then send him to spend the night in an air-tight room where air has been removed with pipe for additional study. Scientists measure oxygen and carbon dioxide levels to tell how much energy Ault is using, minute by minute. “We're figuring out how his body adjusts to an exercise load, or a stress load.”“It's hard not knowing if or when I'm going to recover, ” he said. But Ault says the study did help him learn about the disease. And it gave him ideas about how to save up his energy.12. What was Zach Ault's life like before 2017?A. He was fond of exercising.B. He won several half-marathons.C. He spent much time lying in bed.D. He was busy looking after his children.13. How did the infection affect Zach Ault?A. He lost his job.B. He was unable to sleep.C. He became too weak to do sports.D. He was tired of running a half-marathon.14. What can we learn about chronic fatigue syndrome?A. It usually lasts no more than months.B. It is likely to cause thinking disorders.C. Patients with it need to stay in bed all day long.D. Patients with it should avoid any kind of exercise.15. What does Zach Ault think of the study?A. It helped him cure his illness.B. It helped him recover and stay fit.C. It taught him how to enjoy cycling.D. It brought him new ideas about fighting diseases.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

长沙市实验中学高一第一次月考英语时间：120分钟总分：100分学生信息栏姓名：班级：家长电话：得分：第一部分阅读理解（两部分，共20小题，计30分）第一节（共15小题，每小题1.5分，满分22.5分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

AIt is important to know another language and how to communicate without words when you are in another country. Before saying anything people communicate with each other by using gestures（手势）. However many gestures have different meanings or no meaning at all in different parts of the world.In the United States nodding your head up and down means “yes” while in some pa rts of Greece and Turkey it means “no”. In the southeast of Asia it is a polite way of saying “I heard you”.Today in the USA when someone puts his thumb up it means “Everything is all right.” However in Greece it is bad. Also putting your clasped（紧握的）hands up above your head means “I am the winner.” It is the sign which players often make. In Russia it is the sign of friendship.In the USA holding your hand up with the thumb and index finger（食指）and the other three straight means “Everything is OK.” In France it means “You are worth nothing.”It is also important to make eye communication. If you look down when talking to an American he or she may feel that you are shy or you are trying to hide something.Besides these you should also know there are some topics that can not be talked about such as age weight and marriage. You can talk about the weather work sports food where one lives and news of the day.21. Which of the following is true?A. People all over the world only communicate by words.B. Many gestures either have different meanings or no meanings at all.C. Gestures are the most common way to communicate.D. People can talk about anything in another country.22.

We can conclude from the passage that___．A.the living standard in the village is quite lowB.the tourist facilities along the way are quite goodC.revealing clothes are appropriate in the hot weatherD.giving local children small gifts is strongly recommended．COpenwater swimmingI had only swum in open water a few times, and alwaysin gentle lakes, so I wasn’t prepared for how rough Lake Windermere appeared ona cold day. A swimmer told me the water felt colder than it had been measured, and that the water was a bit rough. But I, along with 10,000 others, was aboutto complete the challenge.Most of the people taking part were doing a one-milerace, and 10 races were planned over the weekend. There seemed to be a mix ofopen-water enthusiasts alongside complete beginners—which is precisely the aimof the swims, to get as many people as possible completing their own challenge.The oldest woman competing was 77, taking part in the two-mile race, alongsidea man who last year had swum in every one-mile race.I had chosen the third one-mile race of the day. Therewere over 600 people in my race. We were taken through an acclimatization area,a children’s paddling pool-sized part of the lake where we moved in to feel howcold the water was. “Not too bad” was everyone’s thought! Then we headed outtowards the middle of the lake.We’d been warned that the first 100 metres would bereally rough. However, somewhere near the 750m mark I was still waiting for thecalm; it felt more like swimming in the sea than a lake. I tried to focus on mybreathing and technique, and just keep going. As I approached the 400m-to-gomark my lower right leg became painful. I recalled overhearing people talkingabouthow they kept swimming through the pain, so I tried. But it didn’t work.I began to feel the entire leg tight and painful. I didn’t want to stop, so I bentmy right knee and just kicked with the left leg.Finally I saw the finishing post, and I just concentratedon getting there—still one-legged. My finishing time was 38 minutes 25 secondsbut that didn’t matter—the atmosphere was fantastic and everyone felt a senseof achievement, whatever their time. I’m hooked, and want to give it anothergo. I’ve already signed up for my next open-water swim.28. What does the word ROUGH in the first paragraph means?A. wildB. goodC. pleasantD. calm29. Howdid the author feel before the race?A. Scared(恐惧的)B. DisappointedC. HappyD. Determined(坚定的)30. The authorsuggests in Paragraph 4 that ______.A. the race would cause breathing problemsB. the race became harder than she had expectedC. it was reallynecessary to prepare for tough swimsD. it would have been easier if she had taken others’advice31. Whatdoes the author talk about in the last paragraph?A. Her confidence in her own ability.B. Her eagerness to repeat the experience.C. Her pride in having swum so quickly.D. Her surprise at having managed to finish.DHave you eaten too much over the holidays? You should try fidgeting(躁动) for a while. Those around you might not like it, but scratching (moving your nails(指甲) against a part of your body) and twitching (moving suddenly and quickly when you don’t want to) is an important way of burning up calories(卡路里).American researchers have found that some people’s squirming (continuously turn your body when nervous) and wigging (move in small movements, especially from side to side) equals(等于) several miles of slow running each day.The scientists, based at the National Institute of Health’s laboratory in Phenix, Arizona, are studying why some people get fat and other stay slim.In one study 177 people each spent 24 hours in a room in the institute where the amount(量) of energy is measured by their oxygen and carbon dioxide(二氧化碳) levels. By the end of the day, some people had burned up 800 calories in toe-tapping, (moving the front part of your foot upand down) finger-drumming (hitting your fingers continuously and lightly against something hard) and other nervous habits. However, others had burned up only 100 calories.The researchers found that slim(苗条的) women fidget more than fat women, but there was no significant difference in men. Heavy people burn up more energy when they fidget than thin people do.32. We can know from the passage that scientists believe the reason why some people get fat and other people stay slim is that ____ .A. thin people burn up less calories than fat peopleB. fat people burn up more calories than thin peopleC. those who burn up more calories than others will be thinnerD. those who fidget more than others will be thinner33. Scientists found in the experiment that _________ .A. the energy burned up by fat people when they fidget was more than that burned up by thin peoplewhen they fidgetB. some people’s fidgeting burned up more than 800 calories, but some people’s fidgeting burned up lessthan 100 caloriesC. slim women fidget more than fat women but fat men fidget more than thin menD. thin men fidget more than fat men34. If someone is thin in a pleasant way, we say they are __________.A. skinnyB. bonyC. slimD. underweight35. Scientists think a fidget habit to be ___________.A. a habit of thin peopleB. a better exercise than slow runningC. a nervous habit annoying the people aroundD. a way to lose fat第二节（共5小题，每小题1.5分，满分7.5分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。

With millions of visitors staying on the beaches of Mallorca and the other Balearic Islands each summer, a little bit of isolation is a good thing for aloneness-seeking travelers. Mainly located in the hills of inland Mallorca, these inns range from rustic century-old farmhouses to luxury(奢侈的) villas with spas and swimming pools.HawaiiPeople who don't want to dig out their passport but still want their farm adventure can head to the island of Hawaii. The 50th state talks much about the well-developed farm tourism industry that can hold people with different interests. Agritourism choices range from visiting coffee plantations(种植园) in the Big Island's Kona region to exploring the plantations on Maui to staying on farms on the easily reachable island of Oahu. CaliforniaCalifornia is one ofthe best places in the U. S. to enjoy a farm-stay, thanks to the diversity of crops and farms. Small family farms and large farms offer a more hands-on approach to agritourism. Many of them teach small-scale farming techniques and even offer strategies for organic growing. The University of California system, one of the largest state-run higher education systems in the U.S., has a small-farm program that helps growers create agritourism businesses.Philippine IslandsWith diverse conditions on different islands, the Philippine Islands are ideal places for visiting multiple agritourism sites or focusing on one product. Tourists can visit a huge pineapple plantation for a taste of large-scale agriculture, or they could focus on smaller operations such as bee farms, and even small plantations that specialize in growing tropical produce such as dragon fruit.1. What kind of people will choose to go to Mallorca?A. Those who prefer peace of mind.B. Those who like lying on the beach.C. Those who enjoy the luxury of tourism.D. Those who want to experience farming.2. What can people do on the Philippine Islands?A. Live in farmhouses.B. Visit plantations.C. Learn farming techniques.D Take part in a farm program.3. What are the four places in the text famous for?A. Locations.B. Environments.C. Local products.D. Tourism features.BIn Australia, plenty of wild things can bite or sting(刺伤) you. Strangely enough, one of them is a tree. Now scientists have figured out what makes the tree’s sting so bad.The rainforests of eastern Australia are home to a stinging tree known as Dendrocnide. Many people callit the gympie-gympie tree—a name given to the tree by native Australians. It’s covered with sharp, needle-like hairs that carry poison. If you touch a gympie-gympie tree, you won’t forget it anytime soon. The pain can stay with you for hours, days or weeks. In some cases, it’s been reported to stay for months.Scientists have long looked for the source of this powerful sting. Now researchers at the University of Queensland have discovered what makes this stinging plant so painful. After carefully studying different kinds of gympie-gympie trees, the scientists were able to separate out different chemicals that the trees produce. This allowed them to identify a group of chemicals that they believed was responsible for the pain.The researchers created artificial versions of these chemicals, which they call “gympietides”. Sure enough, when the scientists injected mice with gympietides, the mice licked(舔) at the places where they’d been injected, indicating that they hurt in those places. When the scientists studied the way gympietides were built, they found that they formed a knot-like shape. The shape makes the chemicals very stable, which helps explain why the pain stays so long.The knot-like shape of the gympietides was similar to the shape of poisons produced by poisonous spidersand cone snails. The scientists were surprised to see three very different kinds of life all using similar poisons. Spiders and cone snails carry poisons because they catch food by stinging other creatures. It’s not clear how stinging helps the gympie-gympie tree.Though the tree’s sting may stop some animals from eating it, it doesn’t stop all animals. Beetles and pademelons (small s of the kangaroo) are able to eat the plant without trouble.4. Why is a touch on the stinging tree unforgettable?A. Because it has so unusual an appearance.B. Because it is extremely rare in existence.C. Because touching it creates a quite strange feeling.D. Because the pain caused by it doesn’t go away quickly.5. What do scientists fail to find out about the stinging tree?A. How it produces poisons.B. What poisons it produces.C. How it benefits from the sting.D. The consequences of its sting.6. What does the text imply about the stinging tree?A. It produces the same poisons as spiders.B. Poisonous as it is, it also has natural enemies.C. Animals are wise enough to stay away from it.D. Only one chemical in it causes pain to the toucher.7. What’s the best title for the text?A. Scientists Discover Stinging Tree's SecretB. Caution: Stinging Tree Can Bite and Poison YouC. Scientists Discover a Strange Species in AustraliaD. Effective Ways to Avoid Being Hurt by Stinging TreeCThe Rise of Voice TechnologyVoice technology has come a long way. Just a few years ago, it would have been unusable. But now, those who follow the technology know that it has got considerably better.Writing with your voice raises several interesting questions. How difficult is it actually? Human speech involves a lot more starting and stopping with errors and the need for repairing broken sentences than you may think. Even gifted speakers make mistakes. To turn the spoken word into reasonable writing requires lots of planning. You’ll need some kinds of notes or other organisers to make it work.Another question turning speech into writing raises is the style. How would writing make the change that people speak their writing rather than type? Chances are that it would come up with many more short sentencesand more concrete language, which is good. It would probably also rely on prepared phrases a lot more often, which is not available when you are speaking quickly.To confirm this, a column was not written, but dictated (听写). It was composed from brief notes written down for structure only, and it was edited for length, with all of the original errors kept in. Here were the results. The first was that the literal accuracy was extremely high. There weren’t many cases wherethe software had heard one word incorrectly and written down another. But the other result was that the readability of this column was rather bad. Obviously, the blame is not with the technology at all, which turns out to be rather good. Speaking into writing relies on a better human brain than the one we currently possess. Writing is hard. There’s a reason it can’t be done at the speed of speech, in real time.To clarify the matter, this time paragraph breaks were added after the whole writing. Punctuations (标点) had to be spoken aloud, and after a full stop, the first word in the new sentence was capitalized automatically. Some minor punctuation marks were added to make it clearer. To improve accuracy, people “trained” the software beforehand, reading a prewritten passage aloud. Actually it turns out to be more effective. All of these ensure the satisfactory completion of turning speech into writing.Language is the most important tool for human interaction, and voice is one beautiful part of language. With the maturity of modern technology, it has given birth to a great change in the human-computer voice interaction.8. According to the passage, which helps to turn speech into writing in terms of style?A. There is careful planning in advance.B. Errors and broken sentences are avoided.C. People type words as fast as they say them.D. The writing contains more prepared phrases.9. To achieve better results, the author mentions some changes for ______.A. processing errors in a column.B. adding minor punctuation marks.C. increasing the number of brief notes.D. integrating short paragraphs in writing.10. The author suggests that ______.A. human brains are responsible for poor dictated writing.B. writing with voice promises to improve the quality of writing.C. writing is an unnatural act that can hardly be learned and improved.D. technology has a long way to go in the human-computer voice interaction.11. What is the passage mainly about?A. Why people fully intend to turn speech into writing.B. What role voice technology plays in improving readability.C. Where the human-computer voice interaction is at an advantage.D. How voice technology enables the change from speech into writing.DThefirst thing we notice about new people are their faces. The next time we see these people, we remember them because we remember their faces. This seems like a simple process. However, scientists found that it is not such a simple process. The section of the brain that is responsible for face recognition seems to work differently for different people. Some people have great difficulty remembering and recognizing faces, while others almost never forget a face.Normal babies are born with a natural ability to recognize faces. In fact, their face recognition abilities are much better than their parents. Babies are most highly skilled at face recognition at six months. But by nine months, they lose this skill. By nine months, a baby’s face-recognition skills are about the same as an adult’s.Unfortunately, some people are not born with this ability to recognize faces. The part of the brain that is responsible for face recognition doesn’t work for them. This condition is called face blindness. People with very severe face blindness cannot even recognize their own faces. In fact, people with this condition can sometimes be frightened when they look in the mirror. They don’t recognize their own face, so for a second they are startled when they see this unfamiliar face.Face blindness is not always severe. Scientists believe up to 10 percent of the population may be affected by face blindness to some degree, yet many people with mild face blindness might not even know they have it. They have no reason to know they are different from anyone else until someone points it out. This is similar to people with color1 blindness. Colorblind people can’t see the difference between certain color1 s such as red and green, until someone tells them that green and red are two different color1 s.There is no cure for face blindness. So for the time being, people with face blindness need to find simple techniques to compensate for their problem. They can try to recognize people by their hairstyle, their voice, or their glasses. Hopefully, in the future as scientists learn more about this condition, they may find a cure.12. What is the first paragraph mainly about?A. The way to improve one’s face-recognition skills.B. The simple process of the brain to recognize others’ faces.C. The fact that some people have face-recognition problems.D. The importance of face recognition in human communication.13. When do children have the best face-recognition skills?A. At birth.B. Half a year old.C. Nine months old.D. In adolescence.14. What does the underlined word “startled” in the 3rd paragraph probably mean?A. Depressed.B. Confused.C. Embarrassed.D. Surprised.15. What does the author think of the problem of face blindness?A. People need to take it seriously.B. Certain techniques can make up for it.C. It will be cured in the near future.D. It has the same effect with color1 blindness.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。
