A.A book review.B.A website about tests.C.An academic article.D.A textbook.BWe’ve all been told that different types of fruits and vegetables have different benefits that help us maintain our health. A new international study has found that eating one fruit regularly can help reduce the risk of cancer, among those people who have a high risk of developing certain cancers.The research which followed almost 1000 patients with Lynch syndrome-a genetic condition that makes people predisposed to a range of cancers found that a regular intake of resistant starch (抗酶解淀粉) could have a major preventative effect on the risk of cancer. Here’s what you need to know about how eating bananas can help reduce risk of cancer.Resistant starch is a type of carbohydrate (碳水化合物) which feeds beneficial gut bacteria. It is found in green bananas. By eating green bananas your body gets a regular dose of resistant starch, which has been found to reduce risk of cancers in some parts of the body by more than half, according to the new research. The study, which was published in Cancer Prevention Research, was led by experts at the Universities of Newcastle and Leeds. It found that resistant starch, if taken regularly for an average of two years, had a positive effect on some cancers, which can be difficult to detect.John Mathers, a professor at Newcastle University explained: “Resistant starch acts in effect, like dietary fibre in your digestive system. This type of starch has several health benefits and fewer calories than regular starch.”Besides green bananas, resistant starch is also found in foods such as peas, oats, cereal, beans and other starchy foods. You can also take resistant starch as a powder supplement.In terms of bananas, experts recommend that eating one banana daily is the equivalent of one dose of resistant starch. The trick is to eat the bananas before they become too ripe or soft.4.Which of the following can prevent the risk of cancer? A.Carbohydrate. B.resistant starch. C.dietary fibre. D.gut bacteria.第一部分 阅读(共两节,满分50分)第一节(共15小题;每小题2.5分,满分37.5分)高三英语 第1页(共8页)高三英语 第2页(共8页)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。

But one of them, surely, is to see your name in lights above bustling New York streets. A Chinese writer saw just an illumination in July when his name appeared on the big screen in Times Square. For Liu Zhenyun, it was a spectacular and fully-deserved promotion of his latest book, Laughter and Tears: A Novel.Liu, one of the best-selling authors of novels in contemporary China, has penned a number of popular works, including Someone to Talk To, Remembering 1942, and I Did Not Kill My Husband. His works have been translated into more than 28 languages, and Someone to Talk To was awarded the 2011 Mao Dun Literature Prize.“Laughter and Tears: A Novel can be worthily called another ‘high peak’ after Someone to Talk To,” Zhang Xudong, a professor of comparative literature and East Asian studies at New York University, says. The novel is based on the folklore of a legendary figure Hua Erniang, and describes the paintings of the narrator’s uncle, telling of the humor and life of people in Yanjin, Henan province, Liu’s hometown.In the book, everyone from Yanjin is humorous and can tell excellent jokes. Hua Erniang,the spirit of a widow waiting eternally for her husband, as in Yanjin folklore, will come into people’s dreams. In this state she will ask them to tell her a joke. If she thinks the joke is boring, she will instruct them to carry her to a place where she can drink spicy soup. But they die in the effort as she crushes them following her transformation into a mountain. However, if she likes the joke, she will give them a persimmon (柿子). As a result, people from Yanjin tell really good jokes.Corriere della Sera, an Italian newspaper, called Liu “the Kafka of Beijing”. In 2018, Liu was awarded France’s Knight of the Order of Arts and Letters.An author at Kirkus Reviews, a book review site in the United States, writes, “Liu has written a masterful tale that will make you laugh even as you despair”. Liu’s tragedies often have a feature of comedy and his comedies are also like tragedies. He tells many jokes and ridiculous stories in his books, and you will laugh when you read them. However, the truth behind the jokes could be cruel and sorrowful.1.Why did Liu Zhenyun’s name appear on the big screen in Times Square?A. Because he enjoys great reputation.B. Because his new book has been sold out.C. Because he is eager to establish his fame.D. Because he wants to promote his best book.2.What would Zhang Xudong probably agree with?A. Liu Zhenyun is a legendary figure.B. No book beats Someone to Talk To.C. Liu’s novels belong to comparative literature.D. Laughter and Tears: A Novel is worth reading.3.In Liu’s latest book, Hua Erniang gave the joke-tellers a persimmon as a(n) _______.A.punishmentB. assignmentC. awardD. warning4.What could be the best title for the passage?A. Liu Zhenyun, a Master of TragedyB. Zhang Xudong, the Kafka of BeijingC. A Writer with Tale to Tell Pens a New BookD. A Book Was Awarded Mao Dun Literature Prize4.(10分)Witnessed by organizers, sports figures, performers and students, the flame for the 2022 Winter Olympic Games-housed in a red lantern-drew crowds of onlookers as it was escorted (护送) by volunteers into the ceremony held at Beijing’s Olympic Tower. The flame arrived early on Wednesday, October 20 after being flown from Greece, the birthplace of the Olympics, where it was lit two days earlier.The 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics will run from Feb. 4 to Feb. 20. Games events are scheduled in three zones-downtown Beijing, the capital’s northwest Yanqing district and co-host Zhangjiakou in Hebei province.As an iconic cultural element of the Olympic Games, the torch relay plays a significant role in promoting the host’s international image while spreading the message of peace, solidarity, friendship and health. Due to the pandemic, however, games organizers have cut back the traditional torch relay to a small-scale event. The relay will take place in three host areas and involve about 1,200 torchbearers. The shortened torch relay with reduced crowds will help ensure the health and safety of all participants as well as that of local communities.The relay is scheduled for Feb. 2 to Feb. 4, with the route connecting landmarks, historical sites and major tourism attractions in Beijing and Zhangjiakou. The traditional offline event will make sure that people get to feel the warmth of the flame and get inspired by the Olympic spirit up close. An online version of the torch relay making use of virtual reality (VR) technologies is also planned for social media platforms. Although the length and duration of the torch relay has been reduced, this represents an innovative approach to maximize the benefits of the technology in connecting more people in an interactive way.The designs of the torch, lantern and cauldron (主火炬) echo each other within a consistent concept that strikes a strong impression of dynamism and vitality. The lantern, which will be used for the flame exhibition tour, is based on the Changxin Palace Lamp, a bronze oil lamp from the Western Han Dynasty, while the cauldron features the same red and silver colors and cloud pattern as the torch. Drawing inspiration from the main cauldron for the 2008 Beijing Summer Games, the torch for the Beijing 2022 Games is called the “flying ribbon”.1.How was the flame sent to the welcoming ceremony in Beijing?A. On a tower.B. In a red lantern.C. By a sports figure.D. Through VR technologies.2. What is the third paragraph mainly about?A. The preparation work has been adapted to the pandemic situation.B. The Olympic Games help promote the host’s international image.C. The torch relay is an iconic cultural element of the Olympic Games.D. Games organizers must ensure the health and safety of all participants.3. Why are VR technologies used in the torch relay?A. To welcome more athletes to the relay.B. To attract people to the tourism attractions.C. To connect more people in an interactive way.D. To make people feel the warmth of the flame close.3. What do we know about the 2022 Winter Olympic Games?A. It is scheduled from Feb. 2 to Feb. 4.B. Zhangjiakou will co-host the games events.C. The torch relay will avoid historical sites in Beijing.D. The designers of the torch are inspired by flying ribbon.5.(10分)Paris goes car free on September 19, 2021 as part of an event called “Journée Paris Respire” or “Paris Breathes Day”. For one day only, cars are banned from Paris. Parisians and tourists are invited to “discover Paris in a new light”.Crowds of Parisians and tourists strolled along the Champs-Elysees avenue on Sunday as a car-free day removed most of the traffic from the French capital’s usually busy streets. Pedestrians wandering along the most famous street in Paris could view the Arc de Triomphe in its temporary appearance as an art installation. The monument has been covered in silvery wrapping, as designed by the late artist Christo.In 2015, Paris authorities organized its first car-free day in a central zone: Paris without car, expanding the initiative in 2017 to other districts within the city limits. Paris Mayor Anne Hidalgo has sought to use the annual event to curb vehicle use and reduce air pollution.This new and 7th edition, renamed “Journée Paris Respire” or “Paris Breathes Day”, takes place on Sunday September 19, 2021!For 7 hours, from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. cars are banned from Paris (excluding rings), letting bicycles, rollerblades, skateboards, and pedestrians along with public transit users enjoy thecity. The persons who are against t he regulation might be fined €135. But emergency vehicles, ambulances, buses, cabs and private hire are authorized to drive at 30km/h (18.64 mph) in the Paris Respire areas.With this action, Paris will take the time to live without the unstopping noise of cars and to show the impacts of the traffic. According to AirParif controling the air quality, the rates of nitrogen dioxide are decreasing on these Car-free days, in comparison with the other Sundays over the year. About 7% less pollutant concentration in the air in Paris are noticed.Rest assured, there are exemptions (豁免) if you need to go to the hospital in Paris or if you are back from a weekend getaway, but you will have to prove your credentials (证明书) and a proof of address, and respect a limit of 30km/h.Discovering a car-free Paris, enjoying calm streets and walking the usually-car-blocked streets promises some nice moments, right?1.W hat does the underlined word “curb” in Paragraph 3 mean?A. Allow.B. Criticize.C. Promote.D. Limit.2.What is the author’s attitude to the car-free day?A. Doubtful.B. Indifferent.C. Supportive.D. Negative.3.What do we know about the car-free day?A. Every car isn’t banned from Paris on this day.B. The air quality of Paris has been improved permanently due to it.C. The car-free day allows tourists to experience the busy street of Paris.D.

Here are some of the most colourful streets in the world to add to your list of places to visit.EI Caminito, Buenos Aires, ArgentinaWithin the La Boca neighbourhood of Buenos Aires lies EI Caminito Street. This small but colourful street has rows of homes and businesses painted in every colour imaginable. And the pretty turquoise (青绿色) and yellow paths for walkers make the street even more beautiful. Home to cafes and shops, this street is typically a hot spot for tourists.Rainbow Row, Charleston, AmericaMany people claim that if you don’t visit Rainbow Row then you haven’t really been to Charleston at all The row of 13 houses, painted in pretty pale soft colours including baby blue, soft pink, lemon yellow, and green, are private houses that date back to the 1700g, Just around the corner in the same neighbourhood, you’ll find small ice cream shops, coffee shops, and independently owned stores to do some window shopping for a fun girl’s getaway weekend. .Old Town Colmar, FranceOne of the most colourful areas in France is Old Town Colmar, a little village often referred to as the Little Venice of France with a history of over 1,100 years. The canal running through the center of the village is surrounded by half-wood houses of different colours. The village takes special care of the flowers that line the canal, which add to its collection of shining colours.Nyhavn, Copenhagen, DenmarkThe harbour district of Copenhagen is one of the country’s most popular tourist attractions, with good reason—the colourful street is only less impressive than the views of the boats on the harbour. Nyhavn is home to traditional homes painted in bright colours; some have been changed into cafes and shops.1. Which street has colourful ground?B.EI Caminito. C.Rainbow Row. D.Nyhavn.A.Old TownColmar.2. Why is Old Town Colmar regarded as the Little Venice of France?A.Because the canal flowing through the village.B.Because the shining colours added to the view.C.Because the houses in pretty pale soft colours.D.Because the flowers decorating the canal.3. What attracts tourists most in the harbour district of Copenhagen?A.The pretty colorful street.B.The beautiful private houses.C.The attractive cafes and shops.D.The charming boat scene.2. Rivera, 27, was jogging on a path next to Claiborne Parkway in Ashburn near the Dulles Greenway about 6 p.m. A 71-year-old woman from South Riding Was driving a Toyota SUV on the road. And a deer came from somewhere.The SUV struck the deer, which sent the animal flying into Rivera, who remembers running one minute and then coming into an ambulance as a doctor told her she needed to cut away one of her favorite running shirts “because it had deer blood all over.” “That’s when I knew a deer was part of this,” Rivera said Sa turday.The deer died on the spot. The driver was treated at Inova Loudoun Hospital and recovered. Rivera, who was taken to the same hospital and recovered on Thursday evening.Barely 5 feet tall, Rivera already had been jokingly nicknamed “The Hulk” by he r friends, which means a giant person. “So, I guess now they can really call me that,” she said.She had finished five miles Thursday in her orange running shoes and was on the final stretch toward her home in Ashburn when she was hit by the deer.“I’d thought that the run would make me feel better after work,” said Rivera, an administrative analyst. She has been a runner for about five years and started taking part in marathons last year. She also leads runs for a Loudoun fitness club.A female passer-by c alled 911 and used Rivera’s phone to dial numbers that reached Rivera’s boyfriend and her family. “I want to really thank her, whoever she was. And I am glad the driver is all right.”Rivera said she runs on the path often and wilt again. So how will she r etell this tale? It’s hard to know where to start. Maybe I was out for a run one day. No, actually I probably have to start with, this really strange thing happened to me once.”1. What happened to Rivera when she was jogging on a path?A.She was knocked down by a flying deer.B.She ran into a Toyota SUV on the way to work.C.She got help from a doctor just on her way home.D.She came across an injured deer on the way to hospital.2. Who got well again on Thursday evening?A.The deer. B.Rivera. C.The driver. D.The old woman.3. What attitude did Rivera have to the female passer-by?A.Sympathetic. B.Angry. C.Grateful. D.Respectful.4. What can we infer from the passage?A.Rivera lost much blood in the accident.B.The 71-year -old driver wasn’t hurt at all.C.Rivera didn’t realize what happened then.D.Rivera took part in marathons five years ago.3. Time to load up some popular games: new research indicates pigs possess the mental capability to play video games. The study, published in Frontiers in Psychology, tested the ability of four pigs (Hamlet, Omelette, Ebony and Ivory) to play a simple joystick (操纵杆) game with their noses, moving a cursor (光标) to four targets on the screen. Although the animals didn’t demonstrate the skills to win a round any time, they did show an understanding of some elementary games. Performing well not by chance, the pigs appeared to recognize the movement of the cursor was controlled by the joystick. The fact that they did so well despite a lack of flexible fingers is “extraordinary”, according to the researchers.“It is no small achievement for an animal to grasp the concept that the behaviour they are performing is having an effect elsewhere. That pigs can do this to any degree should give us pauseas to what else they are capable of learning and how such learning may impact them, “said Purdue University’s Dr Candace Croney, the study’s lead author.Researchers also noted that while the pigs could be taught to play the game using food as positive motivation, they also responded well to social interaction. In fact, when the game was made more challenging and the pigs became unwilling to participate in it, “only oral encouragement by the experimenter” would see training continue.These findings are the latest to highlight the intelligence of pigs. Not only have they been shown to use mirrors to find hidden food, but studies have also demonstrated how pigs can be taught to “come” and “sit” after oral commands.As with any sentient (有感觉力的) beings, how we interact with pigs and what we do to them impacts and matters to them. We therefore have a moral duty to understand how pigs acquire information, and what they are capable of learning and remembering, because it ultimately offers the potential for how they understand their interactions with us and their environments.1. What can be learned from Paragraph 1?A.The pigs sometimes won the video games.B.The pigs operated joysticks with their noses.C.The pigs competed with each other in the games.D.The pigs sometimes performed well accidentally.2. What does the underlined phrase “give us pause” refer to?A.Stop us from advancing. B.Affect us in learning.C.Make us think seriously. D.Force us to train pigs better.3. What made researchers believe pigs socially interacted well?A.Their being inspired by human words. B.Their being driven by food.C.Their being willing to keep trying. D.Their being motivated by challenges.4. Which of the following could be the best title?A.Smart Pigs: Best Animal Players B.Flexible Noses: Fun GamesC.Oral Commands: Pig Learners D.Pig Players: Learning Potential4. Video conferencing has been around for more than 20 years. Until the COVID-19 pandemic, though, you would find that many people needing to attend a meeting remotely would be calling from a real conference room full of their teammates. Today, we’re routinely holding video conferences that are 100% virtual. And this is creating a problem that technology can’t fix.The problem is us, spec ifically the fact that we haven’t evolved socially to the point where we can bear much separation. So much of our well-being and work productivity is decided on how close we are physically. The removal of that for any period of time can be severely damaging. One surprising victim of social distancing is laughter.Normally people laugh about 18 times per day. And 97% of that time we’re laughing with others—we are 30 times more likely to laugh with others than to laugh alone. Think about it: how often when you and your friends laugh at something that is actually funny? Research shows that 80% of what people laugh at is really not that funny.So why do people laugh? They laugh in order to laugh with others. Just as everyone starts yawning (打哈欠) when just one pe rson yawns, most people can’t help but laugh when those around them do. This is why TV comedy shows often use prerecorded laugh tracks.Laughing in response to other people’s laughing is not just a behavioral phenomenon. When we laugh, our body produces two key chemicals: endorphin which helps relieve pain and sets off feelings of pleasure, and dopamine which can improve learning, motivation and attention. In fact, studies show that people can stand 15% more pain simply by laughing for a few minutes beforehand. Laughter is also associated with higher motivation and productivity at work.In today’s home-alone, virtual-team world, this is exactly what you as a team leader should be doing: for your team members to stay healthy and productive, you need to get them to laugh more and stress less.1. What is the problem mentioned in the first two paragraphs?A.A distant relationship. B.Unexpected social evolution.C..Decreased laughter. D.Removed social distance.2. What can be inferred from the article?A.Laughing alone is normal. B.Laughing is for fun.C.Laughing starts with yawning. D.Laughing comes more in groups.3. What is Paragraph 5 mainly about?A.The motivation behind laughter. B.The chemicals regarding laughter.C.The types of laughter. D.The significance of laughter.4. What would the author most probably discuss next?A.How to boost laughter. B.How to better a team.C.How to reduce stress. D.How to increase productivity.5. Supporting OthersWe’re always being told that the secret to happiness lies in helping others. Indeed, it’s natural to want to support those we care about, especially if we are in a position to do so. 1When we offer support, it may not always be wanted. 2 In this case, offering support in the manner of “if I were you, I would…” can feel like a scolding rather than support. If our support feels conditional, it can feel burdensome.3 When someone is trying to manage illness or the house move, just saying, “How could I help you today?” can be amazingly supportive. Or, suggest what you can do for them: picking up the shopping, taking the dog for a walk. Even if it’s not needed, just knowing you’ve been thinking of others can be supportive in itself.Try to be mindful of offering support that is disabling, rather than enabling. My son, when aged five, wanted to make a cup of tea. I could see how inspiring it was for him to be able to do this. So, I filled the kettle and took him through the safety measures. It felt like a huge risk but it worked. His pleasure was immeasurable. The same principle applies when we offer support that increases someone else’s capacity. 4Sometimes the only support that’s needed is to listen to them without judgment. 5 This reassures (使安心) them that someone cares enough to listen while they express themselves. When times are tough, remember to keep things stable. Waiting until the storm has passed is all it takes.Support often works best when it’s a two-way process. It is good to know how to accept help from others as well as offer support to them.6. At weekends I went to the local library to borrow books as usual. On my way there I would pass by a large nursing home. That day as I walked toward the library, I saw an old woman ________ there all by herself.I was curious and compassionate (同情的) for her. So, I decided to go to talk to her instead of just ________. The old woman was very ________ to share her life with me. She told me about her family and that her father was an activist. She cheerfully told me about the wonderful ________ she had taken when she was exploring in Africa and the ________ moments she had with her friends. She smiled while ________ her best times. We sat there for about an hour.It was so nice for her to talk to someone after such a long time that she had been ________ alone. The last person she had had a(n) ________ with was a nurse but she had found another ________ and left. It made me feel ________ that some old people are easily affected by the social ________. And sometimes this can have a serious impact on their ________. We should try our best to spare some time to ________ the elderly, whether they are our grandparents, neighbors or ________ a random elderly person. The elderly woman was highly ________ and I learned so much from her in less than an hour.1.A.singing B.crying C.siting D.sleeping2.A.nodding at B.taking notice C.dropping by D.looking over 3.A.excited B.anxious C.surprised D.embarrassed 4.A.adventures B.places C.theaters D.experiences5.A.different B.difficult C.terrible D.fun6.A.enjoying B.performing C.describing D.remembering7.A.feeling B.living C.suffering D.enjoying8.A.party B.appointment C.discussion D.conversation9.A.friend B.job C.patient D.destination 10.A.sad B.ashamed C.proud D.certain11.A.rank B.pressure C.separation D.discrimination 12.A.view B.future C.ability D.health13.A.observe B.accompany C.understand D.ignore14.A.also B.ever C.even D.still15.A.considerate B.wise C.determined D.careful7. 阅读下面短文,在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。

Animals combine charming images as fine art prints in various sizes.As an artist whose style she calls“household surrealism(超现实主义)”,she works in various media and has a large collection of works.Instead of throwing an old pair of pants or T-shirt away,Helga Stentzel puts her tired garments out to the farm.By hanging them on a simple clothesline she sets up and folding them artfully that look like animals,she takes wonderful pictures.Some are shot in real locations while others are digitally placed in environments in charming form with appealing colors.Siberian-born Stentzel has cooperated with many respectable and well-known brands,one of which is Hogar Verde,a bio-friendly laundry products brand in Ecuador.For them she has created the adorable clothing illusicons (错觉)for a print ad campaign,which also drew attention to the endangered animals shown within,like dinosaurs,polar bears and so on.Stentzel's practice started from her childhood in Siberia,where she spent hours surveying her grandmother's carpet,woods and random objects for recognizable forms,including a pile of buckets looking like the Leaning Tower of Pisa.In what seems a very simple gesture,Stentzel's works employ household items and turn them into surrealist images that uncover different reading layers.From food to clothes,the artist is inspired by everyday olojects and gives them a second life through her creative and really poetic personal angle.“I stare at things longer than socially acceptable!It can be anything—a chair,a noodle hanging off the fork,a lamp post in the middle of the road.Observation is a form of thinking for me.I really enjoy studying colors, shapes and textures—with no expectation,simply admiring their unique beauty.Very often there's nothing more to it,but sometimes BOOM!—a creative idea hits my brain,and it makes a link between sliced bread and wrinkled skin of a French bulldog.It's very unpredictable,”Stentzel said.24.How did Stentzel create an artwork according to paragrapl2?A.By designing clothes on software.B.By painting animals in various colors.C.By taking photos of animals on the farm.D.By hanging clothes folded in animal shapes.25.What is Stentzel's source of inspiration?A.Daily items.B.Tourist attractions.C.Random surveys.D.Childhood adventures.26.Which of the following can best describe Stentzel's fine art prints?plex and digital.B.Meaningful and creative.C.Poetic but commercial.D.Ordinary but bio-friendly.27.What can we learn from Stentzel's story?A.Art can give people a second life.B.Artworks are from life yet above life.C.Creation is from intentional observation.D.Cooperation results in adorable artworks.CCould the next Ernest Hemingway or Jane Austen be a well-engineered Al software program?It's a question becoming increasingly pressing as machine language-learning software continues to evolve.Much of this is just nerves.Today's Al creative writing programs are not yet at a stage of development where they pose a serious threat to Colleen Hoover or Charles Dickens.But while attention continues to for us on the possibility of a blanket takeover of human literature by Al,far less consideration has been given to the prospect of Al co-working with humans.Earlier this month,American sci-fi writer Ken Liu,who had been awarded Hugo and Nebula to his name, joined12other professional authors for a writing workshop on Google's Word craft.This Al tool,a language generating model,is not yet publicly available but is advertised as an AI-powerel writing assistant that can,when given the right instruction from the writer,provide helpful descriptions,create lists of objects or emotional states,and even brainstorm ideas.The writers at the workshop,however,emerged with mixed reports.“Word craft is too sensible.Wow!”Robin Sloan wrote.“But‘sensible’is another word for predictable,overused and boring.My intention here is to produce something unexpected.”I'm unconvinced that writers awarded the Nobel Prize have much to fear from Al.Their work,and that of countless other rnove lists,short story writers,dramatists and poets,is too particular,too beautifully unique.Even if a model learned what they had done in the past,it would not be able to predict where their creativity might take them in the future.But for authors who write following a pattern,Al might step in,first as assistants before some day to authorship.Production-line novels are nothing new.In the1970s,Barbara Cartland,who wrote more than723books in her lifetime,many of which are romance bestsellers,would read her novels for her secretary to type up at the remarkable rate of roughly seven chapters a week.But already machine has replaced the secretary's role.Perhaps creative writing software isn't that far from replacing the Mrs.Cartlands of today.28.Which aspect of Al calls for more attention?A.Its damage to our nerves.B.Its progress in literary studies.C.Its cooperation with humans.D.Its influence on human literature.29.What can we learn about Word craft from the text?A.It generates novels automatically.B.It outperforms professional writers.C.Its works receive praises from the public.D.Its works bear similarity to existing ones.30.What can writers do to avoid the threat from Al?A.Increase writing speed.e diverse resources.C.Produce creative works.D.Follow the latest patterns.31.Which of the following is the best title for the text?A.Will AI Replace Human Writers?B.AI Warns Mrs.Cartlands of TodayC.Is Writing Running into a New Era?D.Word craft Lies at the Center of DebateDTwo separate research groups in the U.K.and Denmark have come up with the same idea for a study that could help save endangered species,and have gotten the same results.It involves sucking environmental DNA from the air that animals leave behind.“We use a really small pump that pulls the air through,and we hope the DNA gets caught on the filter(过滤器),"said Elizabeth Clare,the lead researcher.“It's a bit like making coffee.You make coffee by sucking waterthrough a filter and leaving the coffee grounds behind.That's basically what we're doing;we're just sucking the air through and hoping that the DNA gets lost behind."Clare says the concept has been used for years in different ways.Scientists sample pathogens(病原体)from the air,which has been used to help track COVID-19.Environmental DNA can also be collect d from water to help ease invasive species.A big goal for both research teams with the new study is to be able to locate endangered species and help save them.It is important to note that this type of DNA sampling can only be picked up if a species is in the area, so if there were two of the same animal,scientists would not be able to tell which one the DNA came from.Both research groups also reported certain DNA samples not showing up when they knew an animal had been in the area.They also can't tell yet how long an animal's DNA will stick around after it's been in one area. Clare says she'd like to plan more researches to get these answers.But one thing is for sure after conducting the study.Clare says she has a whole new perspective on taking a deep breath.“Asyou know,I'm walking through a jungle or the park or taking my dog for a walk or my kids out to play,and I take a deep breath;I think I just inhaled information about all the things that have been here before, and as a scientist,that's exciting to think that the information that I'm trying to gather is literally hanging in front of me,"she said.32.Why does the author mention coffee-making?A.To show the function of a filter.B.To illustrate how the idea works.C.To compare two different methods.D.To prove how simply DNA-sucking works.33.What does the underlined phrase"the concept"in paragraph3refer to?A.Detecting danger in the air.B.Protecting endangered animals.C.Sucking DNA out of the air.D.Collecting environmental samples.34.What do we know about the new method of DNA sampling?A.It distinguishes different DNAs.B.It collects certain DNA within range.C.It locates endangered species exactly.D.It predicts the duration of animals'stay.35.What can we infer from Clare's words in the last paragraph?A.She breathes the air of hope for future studies.B.She agrees with the benefits of deep breathing.C.She adopts brand-new methods of purifying the air.D.She finds inner peace by doing simple things in life.第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5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。

I remember my struggles in class."I don't know the answer,"I would say,"I can’t do it!"“Perhaps you don't know the answer,”he wou ld say quietly."Do you think we might figure it out together?How do you know what you can do until you try?"Mr.Myrus lived around the comer,and I would often stop by to talk while he worked in his garden.I knew there was someone who let me know that if I had really tried,that was enough."Don't be so hard on yourself,"he'd say."Stop blaming yourself.Did you try your best?Well,then you're not a failure,"he often told me these words.Mr.Myrus died in 1978.I had never thought about his death.He was too young.I felt sorry.But when I think about him now,I don't feel so sorry.He taught me to be kind,not only to others,but to myself.He taught me my own value.He taught me about honor,about truth,and about doing my best—and that all feelings and beliefs have dignity and deserve respect.And of all the things I know,this I believe: We can't all be “the best”,but we can,each of us,be our best,and I know that's true because Mr.Myrus told me that.11.What can we learn about Mr.Myrus according to the passage?A.He is usually hard on the students.B.He is responsible for his students and his teaching.C.He is a person who isn't particular about what be wears.D.He sometimes is cruel and unreasonable to his students.12.What does the underlined word “dema ndi ng” in Paragraph 2 most probably mean?A.Strict.B.Serious.C.Critical.D.Careful.13.Why did the author think he was a lucky dog?A.He had got a great belief from his teacher.B.Mr.Myrus trad been his teacher for eightyears.C.He became interested in math because of Mr.Myrus.D.He developed a good relationship with Mr.Myrus.14.What can be inferred from Paragraph 3?A.Mr.Myrus thought it very easy to learn math.B.The author preferred other subjects to math.C.The author was ashamed to admit his poor math.D.Mr.Myrus helped the author build up his confidence.15.What can we conclude by reading the passage?A.The author may have become a teacher.B.The author liked to recall his childhood.C.The author believed he would be the best of all.D.The author ended up being a man of self-confidence.DIn an unmanned supermarket,a customer waits to pay.With the use of advanced digital payment technology, including biological recognition and in-depth learning,the man leaves in a minute.There's no cashier in the store.At a large university,students use a hand-scanning machine that authorizes their entry into the gym.Those people are using “smart mac hi nes” which iden tify people by their physical characteristics.These new devices use fingers,hands, faces,eyes and voices.Some machines may even use smells.This new technology,called biometrics,gets information from parts of the body.In the past,biometric machines were used mainly in government agencies or in prisons.But now that the cost of the technology is lower,these machines are starting to be used everywhere,from border services to schools.Some people,however,are concerned that these machines will mean the destruction of personal privacy.They worry that the machines will get personal information about them.“I know it seems like these machines are invading our privacy,but actually,biometric machines help to protect it,”say s Jay Tarkett,who works at a company that develops the machines.“They can be used instead of passwords on a computer,for example.They can also identify criminals at airports.So,really,they help to promote public safety,and all the information stored is kept conf idential by the machine itself.”Some people don't like the idea of using fingerprints because they associate them with criminals,andfeel like they are being accused of something.In addition,they don't work for some people,such as bricklayers,who wear down their fingerprints.Yet,face recognition does work well because the subject doesn't really have to do anything.To cash a check at a bank,for example,the customer has to do nothing more than look at a machine similar to an automatic teller.If the face matches the picture kept on fie,the customer gets the money with no problems.The need to carry identification with you from place to place,then,would all but cease.It has been found that the hand scan works well in the college gym.Before this machine was used,students at the college entered the gym using cards similar to credit cards.The problem was that students often lost or forgot their cards.With the hand-scanning machine,however,the problem was solved right away.But the machines are still new,and there can be problems.For example,voice recognition works on the phone, but it is not precise,and can be tricked.Another constraint(限制)we notice,with machines that use face recognition in particular,is that they can be fooled if people color their hair or gain a lot of weight.However,this particular problem may be solved by a new type of technology that scans a person's iris,the colored part of the eye.It can even identify the person from a few feet away,recognizing a customer as he or she approaches the ATM.16.What's the author's intention by presenting two examples in Paragraph 1?A.To stress how smart machines work.B.To bring in the topic of the passage.C.To show the popularity of smart machines.D.To introduce the convenience smart machines offer.17.Why don't people like using finger-prints while using the machine?A.They want to keep their mistakes a secret.B.They don't want to damage their fingers.C.They are afraid of losing money in the bank.D.They are afraid of being thought of as criminals.18.Why are biometric machines starting to be used in many fields?A.They are not as expensive as they were.B.They no longer invade people's privacy.C.People enjoy face and voice recognition.D.Criminals are often hidden at airports.19.What is the author's attitude towards the new technology?A.Worried.B.Bitter.C.Optimistic.D.Satisfied.20.What is the passage mainly about?A.An introduction to biometric machines.B.An advertisement for biometric machines.C.A brief description of hand scanning machines.D.An analysis of biometric machines' value in economy.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。

Where is this passage most probably taken from?A. A newspaper.B. A magazine.C. A website.D. A textbook.BThe park bench was deserted as I sat down to read beneath the branches of an old willow tree, with good reason to frown, for the world was intent on dragging me down. At this time, a boy approached me. He stood right before me, and said with great excitement, “Look what I found!”In his hand was a flower, and what a pitiful sight, with its petals (花瓣) all worn. Wanting him to take his flower and go off to play, I faked a small smile and then turned to the other side.But instead of leaving, he sat next to my side and placed the flower to his nose and declared, “It really smells pretty and it’s beautiful, too. That’s why I picked it. Here, it’s for you.”The flower before me was dying or dead. But I knew I must take it, or he might never leave. So I reached for the flower, and replied, “Just what I need.”But instead of placing the flower in my hand, he held it in mid-air. It was then that I noticed that the boy was blind.I heard my voice quiver (轻微颤抖), and at the same time my tears shone like the sun. As I thanked him for picking the very best one, he smiled and said, “You’re welcome.” And then he ran off to play, unaware of the impact he’d had on me.I sat there and wondered how he managed to see a self-pitying woman beneath an old willow tree. Perhaps from his heart, he’d been blessed with true sight.Through the eyes of the blind boy, I could see the problem was not with the world; the problem was me. And for all of those times I had been blind. From now on I vowed to see beauty and appreciate every second that’s mine. Then I held the flower up to my nose and breathed its fragrance and smiled as that young boy.25.

Why did the author decide to take the flower at first?A. Because she was really moved by the boy.B. Because s he didn’t want to hurt the young boy.C. Because she thought the flower was really beautiful.D. Because she didn’t like being bothered by the boy any more.28. Which of the following can best describe the boy?A. Handsome and intelligent.B. Kind and optimistic.C. Warmhearted and sensitive.D. Independent and active.CIn the fall of 1959, Freed suffered a bad reputation for rumors of bribery (贿赂行为), and his troubles were too strong to be resisted. When WABC asked Freed to sign a statement swearing that he had never taken bribes, he refused and was fired. Although he later signed such a statement for WNEW-TV, he lost his television show as well.Finding himself unwelcome in New York, Freed fled to the West Coast, where he managed to land a daytime disc jockey (流行音乐播音员) job at KDAY in Los Angeles in 1960. Legal problems continued to bother him, though, and he was charged with taking bribes of more than $30,000 from a number of record companies. Publicly, Freed denied that he had ever accepted direct bribes, although he acknowledged that he had accepted gifts from record companies, but only for playing records that he was certain would become hits anyway. After a short time at KDAY, he left when the station management refused to let him promote his live rock ‘n’ roll shows. He returned to New York, but not as a broadcaster. At the height of the great enthusiasm for the twist dance, he hosted a Manhattan twist revue (时事讽刺剧), but when this enthusiasm cooled, he found a disc jockey job at WQAM in Miami in 1962. During this difficult period, Freed began drinking heavily and lost his job in Miami after only two months. In December of 1962 he was found guilty in New York of two charges of commercial bribery and was given a six-month sentence and fined $300. This effectively ended his career.Freed spent the last years of his life in Palm Springs, California. Although he had redefined what it meant to be a disc jockey and named the music that had become an anthem (圣歌) for the world’s youth, he was a disgraced (耻辱的) and broken man, no longer able to work in the business he loved. On January 20, 1965, he died in a hospital in Palm Springs.29. Why was Freed fired by WABC?A. Because he took bribes.B. Because he swore he didn’t take bribes.C. Because he refused to admit taking bribes.D. Because he refused to make a statement as WABC required.30. According to Freed, he accepted the gifts from record companies only when _______.A. the gifts were not valuableB. the gifts had no connection with playing recordsC. the records he was asked to play were very famousD. the records he was asked to play would surely become popular31. What can we learn from the passage?A. Freed didn’t take bribes at all.B. Freed showed no talent for music.C. Freed had made contributions in his career.D. KDAY fired Freed because of his addiction to alcohol.DAt any discussion of a job offer, money can be a deal breaker. Negotiating an attractive deal, however, can be hard for many job candidates because they lack the necessary skills or simply because they’re too concerned that pushing for a high salary can cost them the job.These factors certainly can be hurdles (障碍), but it doesn’t mean that you give up trying to get the best deal you can get. Needless to say, if money isn’t a big factor in your decision, you still need to make sure that the deal you’re accepting is fair compared to what’s offered in the market. Selling yourself short once can impact your future salaries and set you back financially.Here are common mistakes that many jobseekers commit in negotiating money.Negotiate too early. Timing is of essence in any negotiation, and negotiating a salary too early in the process can cost you dearly. Many employers, in fact, rank this as one of the biggest mistakes job candidates make. The best timing to begin a salary discussion is after you and your future employer are nearly sure that you’ve been selected for the position.Abandon professionalism. It’s common that people, after going through a long recruitment process, can be shocked that the salary offered is significantly below their expectations. If you find yourself in this situation, don’t abandon your professional attitude or throw a fit. This likely will get you nowhere except the door.There’re two options to this situation: the first is that the employer is inflexible (不灵活的) about the budget, and in this case, you may just leave and make a graceful exit from the hiring process.The second option is that there’s some negotiation room for the hiring manager with other decision makers in the organization. If this is the case, you may be surprised that a final push with a positive attitude and a well-delivered presentation about your skills and market price can get you closer to your expected salary. Still, if this is not acceptable, you don’t have to take it.32. According to Para. 1, the discussion of money for most jobseekers is _______.A. too difficult to handleB. the first necessary stepC. in need of certain skillsD. a good chance to get a job33. What does the underlined part “Selling yourself short” in Para. 2 mean?A. Solving big problems.B. Asking for a low salary.C. Looking for an ideal job.D. Accepting a boring job.34. What should you do if you are offered an unsatisfactory salary?A. Ask for a higher salary.B. Immediately give up the job.C. Just calm down and figure out the situation.D. Try to prove you are the best candidate for the job.35. What is the main purpose of the passage?A. To help people perform well in job interviews.B. To tell common mistakes in our daily work.C. To help employees get along well with their employers.D. To offer tips on salary negotiation.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。

The cashier who assisted me was George. George was very friendly and told me that the Perfect Muffin Kit would live up to the guarantee on the box: “Perfect Muffins Every Time!”. Unfortunately, this product did not live up to what it promised . The muffins I made were far from perfect . I followed the directions in the package very carefully . First , I removed the bag of mix from the box. Then , I poured it into a bowl. Next, I added the correct amount of water to the mix and stirred it. According to the directions, after stirring the mixture , I added half a cup of dried prapes, nuts , berries, or another favorite ingredient(配料 ) . My favorite ingredient happens to be hot sauce (沙司 ). I find that a bit of hot sauce makes pizza and soup taste very delicious. So, continuing to follow the directions, I added half a cup of hot sauce to the mix and stirred it. Finally, I poured the mix into muffin tins and baked it in the baker at 350 degrees for exactly 20 minutes.When the muffins finished baking, I was very excited to eat the “Perfect Muffins” as promised on the box. You can imagine my disappointment when, upon tasting the muffins, I discovered that they were not perfect. These muffins were , in fact , absolutely terrible. Not even my dog was interested in eating these supposedly “perfect” muffins.I would appreciate a full refund(退款 ) of $3.99 for this product as soon as possible. Enclosed are the receipt, the empty box, and one of the un-perfect muffins so that you can experience it for yourself . Thank you for your attention to this matter.Sincerely ,Michelle Bauer56.

The author’s main purpose in writing this letter is to ________.A. prevent others from making the same mistakeB. persuade the company to change the wording on their boxC. get back all the money paid from the shopD. complain about how bad the muffins tastedBWhy do people drink too much, eat too much, smoke cigarettes or take drugs? What’s to blame for all the bad behavior? Most people would say that, while these self-destructive (自我毁灭的) acts can have many root causes, they all have one obvious thing in common: they are all examples of failures of self-control, lacking the will power to resist them.According to a recent study, however, if you really think about it, something about that simple answer doesn’t quite make sense. In fact, it turns out that sometimes it’s having will power that really gets you into trouble.Think back to the time you took your very first sip (啜饮) of beer. Disgusting, wasn’t it? When my father gave me my first taste of beer as a teenager, I wondered why anyone would voluntarily drink it. And smoking? No one enjoys their first cigarette — it tastes awful. So even though smoking, and drinking alcohol or coffee, can become temptation (诱惑) you need will power to resist, they never, ever start out that way.Just getting past those first horrible experiences actually requires a lot of self-control. Ironically (讽刺的是), only those who can control themselves well, rather than give in to them, can ever come to somed ay develop a “taste” for Budweiser beer, Marlboro cigarettes, ordark-roasted Starbucks coffee. We do it for social acceptance. We force ourselves to consume alcohol, cigarettes, coffee and even illegal drugs, in order to seem experienced, grown-up, and cool.These bad habits aren’t self-control failures — far from it. They are voluntary choices, and they are in fact self-control successes. Self-control is simply a tool to be put to some use, helpful or harmful. To live happy and productive lives, we need to develop not only our self-control, but also the wisdom to make good decisions about when and where to apply it.60. What do most people think causes bad behavior?A. Being forced by others.B. Not having enough will power.C. Enjoying their first experiences.D. Following the examples of their friends.61. The author mentions his experience in the third paragraph to prove ____.A. will power helps develop bad habits sometimesB. drinking beer is harmful to the health of teenagersC. self-control should be developed when one is youngD. everyone can be challenged by different temptations62. In the last paragraph, the author stresses that ____.A. without self-control, no one can succeedB. bad habits don’t always lead to bad resultsC. applying self-control correctly is importantD. people can develop wisdom from bad behavior63. What would be the best title for the passage?A. My First Sip of BeerB. Do You Have Will Power ?C. Will Power Benefits UsD. Dark Side of Self-controlCShould ecigarettes (electronic cigarettes) be a new choice for the smokers trying to get rid of the habit? Reactions from Americans are mixed.More than half of the people questioned in a survey think ecigarettes should be controlled by the US Food and Dr ug Administration,but 47 percent believe the ecigarettes should be available to the smokers who want to quit.“In the hunt for a safer cigarette,ecigarettes are becoming a popular choice among those either trying to quit or looking to replace standard tobacco smoke with an alternative that manufacturers claim to be safer,” Zogby International,which conducted the survey,said in a statement.About half of the 4,611 adults who took part in the survey had heard about ecigarettes,which are batterypowered,or rechargeable cigarettes that vaporize a liquid nicotine solution.They do not produce smoke but a water vapor without smell.Sold mostly on the Internet,ecigarettes were first made in China.Last year the World Health Organization (WHO) warned against using ecigarettes,saying there was no evidence to prove they were safe or helped smokers break the habit.The WHO said people who smoke ecigarettes breathe in a fine fog of nicotine into the lungs.Nearly a third of people questioned in the survey think that ecigarettes should be allowed in places where smoking is forbidden,because they don’t produce smoke,but 46 percent disagree.Men who were aware of the availability of ecigarettes were more likely than women to say they should be a choice available to smokers who want to quit.Young people,aged 18-29,and singles were the groups most open to trying ecigarettes.Smoking is the single largest cause of preventable death worldwide,according to the WHO.64.What can we learn from Paragraph 1?A.American smokers ough t to try ecigarettes.B.Americans have different opinions about ecigarettes.C.Every kind of cigarettes should be forbidden in America.D.Most of the Americans don’t like ecigarettes.65.According to Zogby International,ecigarettes ______.A.are much safer than common cigarettesB.are popular among people who want to quit smokingC.will take the place of traditional cigarettesD.are produced in a safer way by manufacturers66.What do we know about ecigarettes from the passage?A.Most Americans are familiar with them.B.They are a good choice as there is no nicotine.C.They produce a water vapor that can’t be seen.D.Most people buy them on the Internet.67.What’s the attitude of the WHO towards ecigarettes?A.Negative B.Supportive C.Doubtful D.IndifferentDLONDON (Reuters)—New faces given to a Chinese man after a bear tore off part of his face and a FrenchCaribbean man disfigured by a rare tumor show that such transplants can work and are not medical oddities (怪异),researchers said.The findings give hope to some people with severe facial disfigurement and suggest the transplants could prove longlasting without major problems.Despite the tissue rejection in the first year after their transplants,neither men had psychological problems accepting their new faces and have been able to rejoin society,they reported.Only three people have received face transplants.The world’s first was carried out on French woman Isabelle Dinoire in November 2005 after she was disfigured in an attack by her dog.In 2007,her doctors reported that she had recovered slowly and steadily,overcoming two periods of rejection.In 2006,Chinese doctors performed a face transplant on a 30yearold hit by a bear.While there were some complications with tissue rejection following the operation,two years later the man was doing well,his doctors said.“This case suggests that facial transplantation might be an option for restoring a severely disfigured face,and could enable patients to bring themselves back into society,” Shuzhong Guo and colleagues at Xijing Hospital in China wrote.A French team described their work on a 29yearold man who suffered from Von Recklinghausen disease,an illness that changes the shape of his face.“The man,who was not named,was given a new nose,mouth and chin in a 2007 operation.He began to work 13 months after the transplant has more function in his face and has not rejected the new tissue,” his doctors said.“Our case confirms that face transplantation is practical and effe ctive for the correction of specific disfigurement,” Dr.Laurent Lantieri and colleagues at the HenriMondor hospital outside Paris wrote.68.What’s the main idea of this passage?A.Face transplants can work.B.Face transplants help regain confidence.C.Three people have received face transplants.D.Disfigured people need face transplants.69.The underlined word “restoring” in Paragraph 4 means “________”.A.removing B.recovering C.repairing D.rejecting70.What problem resulted from the facial operations?A.The patients wouldn’t accept the facial change.B.It was hard for the patients to get along with others.C.It took some time for the patients to recover from the operation.D.The patients usually suffered from tissue rejection.第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,共10分)根据短文内容,从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
