A Are you looking for something to do? You might like to try one of these four experiences.Crocodile watching Do you fancy getting up close to some of the most terrifying animals on earth? Crocosaurus Cove, in Darwin (Australia) has the “Cage of Death”. It’s an enclosure th at’s lowered into a pool. This gives you a 360 degree view of a crocodile as it’s being fed. The cable broke once and the cage sank to the bottom, but they’ve fixed it since then. EdgeWalk How about walking along the edge of a building several hundred meters up in the air? If that sounds like fun, head off to the CN Tower in Toronto (Ontario, Canada). Built in 1976, the tower is 553.33 meters tall. The EdgeWalk consists of a 20-30 minute stroll along a 1.5 meter wide platform that runs around the tower’s restaurant roof. During the walk, you’re encouraged to lean forwards as you look over Toronto’s skyline(轮廓线).Plastic ball rollingDo you fancy rolling down a hill in a plastic ball? Plastic ball rolling is popular all over the world, but the place to give it a go is in Rotorua (New Zealand). Brother David and Andrew Akers came up with the idea in 1994. A typical orb (球) is about 3 meters in diameter, with an inner orb size of about 2 meters. There’s no brake or steering mechanism, but the inner layer of the plastic ball helps absorb the shock.Volcano bungee jumping If you’re looking for the adventure of a lifetime, how about going bungee jumping off a helicopter into the crater of a live volcano? As part of the jumping, a helicopter ride takes you to the Villarrica volcano, one of the most active in Chile. Once you ’re at the drop zone, you leap off the helicopter and fall into the volcano. Finally, you enjoy the ride back to the airport flying at 130kph.Attracted by the above? If so, please contact us. Only half price from March 22 to April 25th For more information, please click here.1. According to the passage, there was an accident o nce when people _____.A. jumped into the Villarrica volcanoB. walked along the platform of the CN TowerC. rolled down a hill in a plastic ball in RotoruaD. watched crocodiles in the “Cage of Death” in Darwin2. Which of the following was first invented in New Zealand?A. EdgeWalk.B. Crocodile watching.C. Plastic ball rolling.D. Volcano bungee jumping.3. It can be inferred that all the four experiences are ______.A. interesting sportsB. exciting and extremeC. held on high placesD. fit for middle to old peopleBIf you want a little extra security against thieves stealing your bicycle, designer Dennis Siegel has designed a solution. The RFID Bikealarm is attached to the seat on a bicycle and gives off an alarm when it senses movement.“The RFID Bikealarm is meant to be a useful add-on to mechanical bicycle locks because it greatly extends the range of protection with only a few components,” Siegel explains on his website. “It is low-cost, durable and easy to use.”The Bikealarm was designed as part of Siegel’s Bachelor’s degreethesis at the University of the Arts Bremen in Germany. The device will scare off any would-be thieves the moment they begin to steal the bicycle to which it is attached. It is able to continuously sense the environment to distinguish between specific events, for instance a passing tram / car and a serious theft.Siegel created a working model of an alarm that would sound when it sensed movement, but wasn’t initially sure how it would be best attached to a bicycle. “I decided to mount it to the rails of the seat because it allows for comfortable interaction and the position is less obvious as it looks like a small repair kit,” he says.Siegel chose to use RFID technology rather than Bluetooth to keep the costs down. Siegel explains that the most difficult aspect of creating the alarm was to get the electronic circuit down to a small enough size.The device runs off a kind of battery that can be charged by USB within 2 hours and lasts for a few days with normal use. As the Bikealarm is only at development stage, Siegel hasn’t signed any agreements to put it on the market.4. When it senses movement, the RFID Bikealarm will _____.A. make a warning soundB. fasten the bicycle tightlyC. shake the bicycle quicklyD. call the police automatically5. Which of the following shows the right position of the RFID Bikealarm on a bicycle?6. What do we know about the RFID Bikealarm? A. It can’t tell between specif ic events. B. It is very difficult to use. C. It uses a kind of battery for power. D. It depends on Bluetooth technology.7. It can be inferred from the last two paragraphs that ______. A. the electronic circuit is a little larger B. i t’s very easy to make a Bikealarm C. it costs too much at present D. not many Bikealarms are producedC One afternoon, after finishing shopping in a supermarket, my family and I went to the checkout. I suddenly thought we didn’t need any of the junk, and we abandoned all of those, saving $300. That got me thinking about all our pointless expenses in life. With a promise that we’d stop if it was killing us, I convinced the family to take the leap into frugality(节俭). The rules were that we would buy nothing for 30 days except absolutely essentials. Our adventure began with a great start. By 9 a.m., my wife, Ruth, had already made cakes from old strawberries and picked flowers I didn’t even know we had in the garden. I cleared the car by hand for the first time for years. I read and returned the neighbor’s newspaper before he woke up. Total spending on the first day: $0.As days turned into weeks, we became so proficient （熟练的）at living frugally. We started riding our bikes to save gas. My child’s fingerpainting was recycled as gift wrap for the homemade presents. We started to use an Internet application like Skype for free phone calls and ask neighbors with gardens for extra vegetables and herbs.In the end, we saved more than $2000 by not spending for a month. When we began, I imagined we would rush out the moment we were done and buya lot of things in the supermarket, then maybe hit the mall or go to the movies. 8. We can infer from the passage that before that very afternoon, the family _________.A. had had higher incomeB. had had a good habit of saving moneyC. had often spent money without thinking muchD. hadn’t realized they would have met financial problems9. How many things were mentioned about the things the family did to save on the first day of the “30 days”?A. TwoB. ThreeC. FourD. Five10. The end of the story tells the readers that the family _________.A. stopped halfwayB. couldn’t stand the life of frugalityC. would make up for missing the junk after the “30 days”D. succeeded in saving in the end11. This passage is mainly about _________.A. how a family managed their daily lifeB. a family’s no-buying tryC. a family’s way of solving life problemsD. how a new idea came upDNot all bodies of water are so evidently alive as the Atlantic Ocean, an S-shaped body of water covering 33 million square miles. The Atlantic has, in a sense, replaced the Mediterranean as the inland sea of Western civilization. Unlike real inland seas, which seem strangely still, the Atlantic is rich in oceanic liveliness. It is perhaps not surprising that its vitality has been much written about by ancient poets.“Storm at Sea”, a short poem written around 700, is generally regarded as one of mankind’s earliest artistic representations of t he Atlantic.When the wind is from the westAll the waves that cannot restTo the east must thunder on Where the bright tree of the sun Is rooted in the ocean’s breast.As the poem suggests, the Atlantic is never dead and dull. It is an ocean that moves, impressively and endlessly. It makes all kinds of noise-it is forever thundering, boiling, crashing, and whistling.It is easy to imagine the Atlantic trying to draw breath-perhaps not so noticeably out in mid-ocean, but where it meets land, its waters bathing up and down a sandy beach. It mimics(模仿)nearly perfectly the steady breathing of a living creature. It is filled with symbiotic existences, too: unimaginable quantities of creatures, little and large alike, mix within its depths in a kind of oceanic harmony, giving to the waters a feeling of heartbeat, a kind of sub-ocean vitality. And it has a psychology. It has personalities: sometimes peaceful and pleasant, on rare occasions rough and wild; always it is strong and striking.12. Unlike real inland seas, the Atlantic Ocean is __________.A. always energeticB. lacking in livelinessC. shaped like a squareD. favored by ancient poets13. What is the purpose of using the poem “Storm at Sea” in the passage?A. To describe the movement of the waves.B. To show the strength of the storm.C. To represent the power of the ocean.D. To prove the vastness of the sea.14. What doe s the underlined word “symbiotic” mean?A. Living together.B. Growing fast.C. Moving harmoniously.D. Breathing peacefully.15. In the last paragraph, the Atlantic is compared to __________.A. a beautiful and poetic placeB. a flesh and blood personC. a wonderful worldD. a lovely animal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。

We saw plates, glasses, and silverware. 17 , we saw lots of smiling people talking, laughing, sitting, and standing in the sunshine.Seeing all of this brought back 18 of my childhood. Most of the clothes in my closet back then came from 19 . My mom was a talented yard sale-shopper. When I was little, she would drag me along with her.

In the past, we just had the Internet while now we have the Internet of Things (IoT), which aims to get everything and everyone talking. Attaching sensors to “things”, such as cows, cars and refrigerators, and then assigning them unique IP addresses allow them to “talk” to the Internet. Of course, the IoT will involve much more than a handful of sensors. Networking company Cisco estimates that 50 billion Internet-connected devices and objects will be sending over data by 2020.36．How do researchers get everything and everyone talking?A．By establishing the IoT and launching a handful of sensors.B．By sending people to track them day and night and collect useful data.C．By communicating with them all the time through the IoT.D．By connecting sensors with them and appointing them unique IP addresses. 37．According to the passage, which of the following is NOT TRUE?A．IoT can help people do preventive maintenance and save money.B．IoT can help people monitor energy usage and observe price changes timely.C．IoT can help people adjust their habits and use electrical appliances more wisely.D．IoT can help people investigate things and update a lot of important data. 38．Besides its probably ending up being a fashion, what else do critics worry about the IoT?A．People will lose interest in it as quckly as the thrill over last year’s smartphone.B．Whether related companies will provide long-term software updates or not.C．Refrigerators and washing machines will be replaced by other devices in a few years.D．The software provided by companies will be outdated easily and quickly. 39．According to the passage, when owners of the Tesla Model S electric car received a recall notice, they ___.A．just waited in the car while the maintenance is being done through wireless update B．were required to go to the nearest 4S store to make some adjustments or repairsC．could definitely depend on the IoT to send them the charger plug to be fixedD．had to confirm the update with the help of the equipment provided by the company 40．What would be the best title for the passage?A．Craze is disappearing!B．It’s time to change!C．It’s all connected!D．The Internet is coming!It was a cold May morning when I received an intriguing (有趣的) email from an old high school friend inviting me to join a 10-day all-girls surf trip. I knew I had to say yes.The trip seemed simple enough. Ten women aged 30 to 45, all complete strangers, gathered on the coast of Portugal to try something new: surfing in the Atlantic Ocean.I have always loved traveling, so I eagerly sent an email to my boss seeking permissionfrom him to make the once-in-a-life trip.If there’s one thing I’ve learned over my past 33 years, it’s that adults typically spend their days mastering the things they’ve done before. It seems like we pride ourselves on becoming experts in whatever field we’ve fallen into, knowing more and more about less and less.Now, in theory, this is a great strategy, as it allows you to become really, really good at one particular thing, but it also kind of ends up leaving some skills lacking.I met my new surfing companions on the grass of the hotel lawn in a small surf town called Ericeira. Despite our different personalities and backgrounds, we were all united in a relentless desire to challenge ourselves, learn, tackle and grow.The shores at Ericeira, where the beginners learn to surf, are shallow and covered with slippery rocks. They make for softer waves but are difficult to navigate.Guided by our amazing coaches, together, we faced the waves. Sometimes, it poured with rain, and the waves crashed around us, but we were still out there. And with every slip and fall, words of encouragement filled the air.Honestly, I probably spent most of my days frozen to the bone, but that didn’t matter because a new level of genuine joy and personal achievement had been unlocked. Learning a new skill taught me the humility that can come from doing badly at something new, and the pride that develops when you finally manage to grasp something you’ve been working on.While surfing might not be my calling, trying it out inspired me to take more risks in life, to step outside of my comfort zone and to never stop believing in myself. You never know what you’re capable of if you don’t go out there and try.41．What motivated the author to join the surf trip to Portugal?A．Her love for surfing and improving existing skills.B．Her desire to reconnect with a high school friend and make new friends.C．Her passion for embracing challenges and exploring new places.D．The chance to take a break in Portugal from work.42．What is the author’s view on adults focusing on mastering one field?A．It blocks creativity and exploration.B．It is essential for career success.C．It disturbs one’s work-life balance.D．It narrows one’s abilities.43．Which of the following words best describe the author’s surfing experience?A．Tough but rewarding.B．Relaxing but unpredictable.C．Difficult but interesting.D．Tiring but meaningful.44．What can be inferred about the author?A．She discovered her true calling atter the trip.B．She used to lack confidence in herself.C．She became more willing to challenge herself.D．She went on to become an expert surfer.45．What wisdom did the author gain from the experience with surfing?A．The need to seek professional training in all new skills.B．The value of pushing your limits and running the risk of something unpleasant.C．The benefit of exploring new places with unknown companions.D．The importance of being an expert in on field.The Internet has completely changed the workplace over the past three decades. Artificial Intelligence is now all set to do the same, and businesses that don’t take advantage of the technology risk being left behind.Global tech giants like Amazon have been leading the change, and businesses of all sizes are now using the technology for employing and managing their staff.Among them is L’Oreal. With about a million applicants for roughly 15,000 new positions each year, the company is using AI to hire.“We really wanted to save time and focus more on quality, diversity and candidate experience. And AI solutions were the best way to go faster on these challenges,” said Eva Azoulay, global vice-president of L’Oreal’s Human Resources Department.The company uses Mya, a chatbot, to save employers’ time during the first stage of the process. It handles routine questions from candidates, and checks details such as availability and visa requirements. Should candidates make it to the next round, they’ll run into Seedlink, an AI software that scores applicants based on their answers to open-ended interview questions. These scores don’t replace human judgment, said Azoulay, but they do exclude candidates who might not seem like obvious choices.Early results have been promising. For one internship program, where 12,000 people apply for about 80 spots, employers claim they saved 200 hours of time while hiring the most diverse group to date.Other businesses have gone beyond employment and are using AI to help manageemployees. Some UK firms have started using Isaak, a system designed by the London-based company StatusToday, to track how many hours staff spend online and the number of emails they receive. London real estate agent JBrown has been using this system since March. CEO James Brown said it helps the firm understand employees’ habits and prevent them from overworking. “It enables us to solve bottleneck problems and relieve overburdened employees,” he said.Despite these examples of good practice, there is still a long way for AI to reach its full potential, and the technology comes with risks. Another AI danger could be its impact on jobs through automation.McKinsey predicts AI could add $13 trillion to the global economy by 2030, with early adopters doubling their cash flow over that period. But the demand for repetitive (重复的) or digitally-unskilled jobs could drop by around 10%, the consulting firm said in a 2018 report. 46．What can we learn about AI technology from Paragraph 1?A．It causes a great problem in workplace.B．It will become a necessary part of business.C．It requires businesses to invest much money.D．It will replace the Internet in the future.47．L’Oreal uses AI in its hiring process to _____.A．pick out the most suitable candidates directlyB．come up with more questions unlimitedlyC．improve the company’s hiring efficiencyD．save money by replacing human judgment48．What’s the meaning of the underlined word “exclude” in the 5th paragraph?A．Prepare.B．Consider.C．Remove.D．Include. 49．Firms with the system Isaak can _____.A．prevent their employees from surfing the InternetB．force their employees to form good working habitsC．monitor the contents of all their employees’ emailsD．help their employees avoid being overstressed at work50．What is the main idea of the passage?A．What AI will bring to the workplace.B．Why AI could be good for the workplace.C．How businesses can prepare for an AI future.D．How to use AI to improve workplace efficiency.Culture can affect not just language and customs, but also how people experience the world on surprisingly basic levels.Researchers, with the help of brain scans, have uncovered shocking differences in perception (感知) between Westerners and Asians, what they see when they look at a city street, for example, or even how they perceive a simple line in a square, according to findings published in a leading science journal.In western countries, culture makes people think of themselves as highly independent individuals. When looking at scenes, Westerners tend to focus more on central objects than on their surroundings. East Asian cultures, however, emphasize inter-dependence. When Easterners look at a scene, they tend to focus on surroundings as well as the object.Using an experiment involving two tasks, Dr Hedden asked subjects to look at a line simply to estimate its length, a task that is played to American strengths. In another, they estimated the line’s length relative to the size of a square, an easier task for the Asians. The level of brain activity, by tracking blood flow, was then measured by Brain Scanners. The experiment found that although there was no difference in performance, and the tasks were very easy, the levels of activity in the subjects’ brains were different. For the Americans, areas linked to attention lit up more, when they worked on the task they tended to find more difficult — estimating the line’s length relative to the square. For the Asians, the attention areas lit up more during the harder task also — estimating the line’s length without comparing it to the square. The findings are a reflection of more than ten years of previous experimental research into east-west differences.In one study, for instance, researchers offered people a choice among five pens; four red and one green. Easterners were more likely to choose a red pen while Westerners were more likely’ to choose the green one.Culture is not affecting how you see the world, but how you choose to understand and internalize it. But such habits can be changed. Some psychological studies suggest that when an Easterner goes to the West or vice versa, habits of thought and perception also begin to change. Such research gives us clues on how our brain works and is hopeful for us to develop programs to improve our memory, memory techniques and enhance and accelerate ourlearning skills.51．According to the passage, Chinese people are most likely to ___.A．more emphasize independent thinkingB．always focus more on their surroundingsC．think of Westerners as highly independent individualsD．focus more on the context as well as the object52．We know from the passage that people’s brains will be more active when ___.A．the task is much easier B．the blood flow is trackedC．the task is more difficult D．people begin to choose colors 53．What do the findings of the experiment mentioned in the 4th paragraph indicate?A．They indicate that culture has a great impact on the way people talk and behave.B．They show that Easterners and Westerners have great differences in perceiving the world.C．They suggest that people’s habits of thought and-perception can be changed indifferent cultures.D．They make it clear that Easterners and Westerners lay emphasis on different things. 54．It can be inferred from the passage that ____.A．Easterners prefer collectivism to individualismB．East Asian cultures lay more emphasis on independenceC．It took over ten years to find out how to improve our brainpowerD．Americans will change their habits of perception when they’re in Britain 55．Which of the following will be the best title of the passage?A．Chinese culture: why it has an advantage over Western culture?B．Western culture and Chinese culture: which will be more suitable for us?C．Western culture and Chinese culture: why we should learn from both?D．Western culture vs. Chinese culture阅读短文, 按照题目要求用英语回答问题。

For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word; for the other blanks, use one word that best fits each b lank.Science fiction often presents us with planets that speak a single language. However, 21humans can express themselves in several thousand languages is a delight. Few would welcome the loss of this variety, and, along with it, a multiplicity of nations and cultures.Unfortunately, the days _22English shares the planet with thousands of other languages are numbered. A traveler to the future is likely to notice two things about thelanguage landscape of Earth. One, there will be vastly fewer languages. Two, languages will be _23(complicated) than they are today.By 2115, it’s possible that only about 600 languages will be left on the planet as opposed to today’s 6,000. Too often, colonization has led to the disappearance of languages: Native speakers are punished _24using their own languages. Urbanization has only furthered the destruction by bringing people away from their homelands to cities where a single language dominates.In addition, it is easy for speakers to associate larger languages with opportunities and smaller ones with backwardness. Consequently, people stop passing on smaller languages to their children.There are diligent efforts _25(keep) endangered languages from dying. Sadly, few are likely to lead to communities’ _26(raise) children in the languages, which is the only way the languages exist as their full selves.Instead, many communities create new versions of the languages, with smaller vocabularies and simpler grammar. The Irish Gaelic ( 盖尔语) proudly spoken by today’s English-Gaelic bilinguals is an example, something that one might call a “New Gaelic.”Linguists have no single term yet for these new speech varieties, _27from Germany’s“Kiezdeutsch”to Singapore’s“Singlish,”the world is witnessing the birth of more optimized versions of old languages. This simplification should not be taken as a sign of decline. All of the “optimized” languages remain full languages in every sense of the term.We _28regret the eclipse of a world where 6,000 different languages _29(speak), but fortunately, it seems a decent amount of linguistic diversity will be preserved. Besides, _30languages become easier to pick up, the future may promise even more mutual c omprehension.Section BDirections: Complete the following passage with the words in the box. Each word can only be used once. There is one extra word which you don’t need.NEW DELHI - The first case of the 2019-20 coronavirus pandemic in India was reported on 30 January 2020. So far, India has suspended "all existing visas, except diplomatic, official, UN/international organizations, employment, project visas" until April 15. India's federal health ministry said this Wednesday morning that the death toll due to COVID-19 in India rose to 149 and the total number of _31cases in the country reached 5,194."As of 8:00 am (local time) today 149 deaths related to novel coronavirus have been recorded in the country," reads the information _32by the ministry. On Tuesday evening the number of COVID-19 cases in the country was 4789 and the death toll was 124.According to ministry officials, so far 402 people have been _33from hospitals after showing improvement. "The number of active cases in the country right now is 4,643," reads the information.Wednesday _34the 15th straight day of ongoing 21-day lockdown across thecountry announced by the government to _35the spread of the pandemic. Authorities have imposed strict curfew-like _36to prevent the movement of people across the country. All road, rail and air services have been suspended in the _37of the lockdown, except _38services which are exempted. The three-week lockdown is expected to end on April 14.India's federal home minister Amit Shah has asked authorities to take quick and stern action against individuals involved in hoarding and black marketing. Meanwhile, Indian Council of Medical Research said it has no _39to state governments setting up convenient sample collection sites. However, the top health research body said its guidelines should be followed and the sample collection should be done using recommended personal _40 equipment.III.Reading ComprehensionSection ADirections: For each blank in the following passage, there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.A new phone app uses vibrations from smart phones to warn people about earthquakes.The phone app _41sudden shaking of the earth’s surface through sensors in smart phones. It is called MyShake. It is the work of four researchers at the University of California, Berkeley. They said they created a worldwide warning system that would _42people and give them time to prepare. The MyShake app is _43only for Android phones.Smart phones are _44accelerometers (加速度感应器). These instruments measure movement, like that of a car or airplane. MyShake uses phone accelerometers to measure seismic (地震的) activity. It has been _45to know the difference between normal activity and earthquake movement. The software developers say their app is right 93 percent of the time.A smart phone sends seismic information to the app developers. If the developers receive several notifications _46, it recognizes that an earthquake might be taking place or will take place soon.Using information sent from the app, the network then _47the location and strength of the quake in real time. MyShake can record magnitude 5.0 earthquakes at distances of 10 kilometers or less.MyShake uses very _48power, according to its developers. Only when seismic activity is _49by the app does it become active and sends data to the network. The app works best when your phone is resting on a _50surface, like a table.The developers hope that MyShake can add to information collected by the U.S. Geological Survey. That U.S. agency has created the Earthquake Early Warning System, also _51EEW. The EEW has deployed (部署) sensors for measuring quakes in many areas. In places where no such equipment _52, MyShake may be the only method of early quake _53. The app also shows ways to stay safer during an earthquake. The developers say it will become more effective as more people use it.“Our goal is to build a worldwide seismic network and use the data to _54the effects of earthquakes on us as individuals and on society as a whole,” say the researchers.The developers say they hope to add a feature that would _55people about a possible tsunami: a huge wave after an earthquake.41.

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)Learning how to cope with death has always been a central part of human existence. Even the Pixar movie Coco bases its story on the Mexican traditions of Dia de los Muertos. In this article, you will find out why and how Mexicans celebrate the Day of the Dead.I once visited the Museum of Mummies in the Mexican city of Guanajuato with a Swedish friend. The mummies were displayed among fake cobwebs ( 蜘蛛网), and other cheap adornments (装饰物). Confronted with this seeming lack of respect for the dead, I explained to my shocked companion that Mexicans have a peculiarly different relationship with death to other cultures. As the Nobel Prize-winning Mexican writer Octavio Paz explained in his work: “The Mexican ... is familiar with death, jokes about it, caresses it, sleeps with it,and celebrates it. True, there is as much fear in his attitude as in that of others, but at least death is not hidden away: he looks at it face to face, with impatience, disdain (鄙视) or irony.”The celebration of the Day of the Dead —a week of festivities from 28 October to 2 November —is an essential part of this embracement of death that is particular to Mexican national identity. The popular belief is that the dead have divine permission to visit friends and relatives on earth and enjoy once again the pleasures of life. Therefore, Mexicans visit the graves of families and friends and adorn them with colorful flowers and offerings of food. The period is a joyous celebration of life, rather than a sober mourning of its passing.The origins of the festival lie in the 16th-century fusion of the Aztecs’belief in death as merely one part in the wider cycle of existence, their ritual venerations (仪式崇拜) and offerings to the goddess Mictecacihuatl (“Lady of the Dead”) for the deceased, and the Spanish conquerors’ desire to accomm odate these festivities within the Catholic celebrations of All Saints’Day and All Souls’ Day.In a country as socially and geographically diverse as Mexico, there is significant regional variation in the nature of festivities: the southern state of Chiapas is far more likely to focus its efforts on processions ( 队伍) and public commemorations( 纪念) of death than the valley of Mexico, where the decoration of altars ( 供坛) in homes and tombs of the deceased is more popular. Urbanization, too, plays a large role in regional variations. For the south and rural areas the period holds far greater social and cultural significance than in the north and large cities; families and communities in rural areas will often spend large parts of the year preparing for the occasion.56.Why does the author say “Mexicans have a peculiarly different relationship with death to other cultures?”A.Because Mexicans always show their respect for death in the form of mummies.B.Because Mexicans do not fear death or respect it.C.Because adornments like flowers can be seen everywhere during the Day of the Dead.D.Mexicans face death bravely rather than hide it away.57.Which statement is NOT true according to the origins of the Day of the Dead?A.It was the Aztecs who determined how to celebrate the Day of the Dead.B.The Aztecs believed death was part of the wider cycle of existence.C.The Aztecs would give offerings to the goddess of death for their lost loved ones.D.The Spanish conquerors wanted to fit the festivities into some of their Catholic celebrations.58.Why do Mexicans visit the graves of families and friends and offer colorful flowers and food?A.Because they can ask God to permit the dead to visit them in this way.B.To celebrate the joy of new life in spring.C.Because the dead will be permitted to visit their families and enjoy the pleasure of life again.D.Because this is an essential part of embracement of death.59.Which of the following explains the role that urbanization plays in the regional variations of celebrating the Day of the Dead?A.People in the south and rural areas put more emphasis on the occasion.B.People in the valleys usually decorate the alters in homes and the tombs of the dead.C.People in the north and big cities spend large part of the year preparing for the celebration.D.The southern states do not care about the decoration of alters at home.(B)This booklet, prepared by the National Institute of MentalHealth (NIMH), provides an overview on depression. It will helpyou learn the things that everyone should know aboutdepression.This booklet is intended for informational purposes onlyand should not be considered a guide for making medicaldecisions. For more information on depression, please visit theNIMH website at .1.Depression is a real illness.Sadness is something we all experience. It is a normal reaction to difficult times in life and usually passes with a little time. When a person has depression, however, it interferes with daily life and normal functioning. Doctors call this condition “depressive disorder.” It is a real illness. Many factors may play a role in depression.Causes of Depression(1)Genetics, brain biology and chemistry(2)Life events such as trauma, loss of a loved one(3)A difficult relationship(4)Early childhood experience(5)Chronic illness, drug and alcohol abuse(6)Any stressful situation2.Depression affects people in different ways.Not everyone who is depressed experiences every symptom. Some people experience only a few symptoms; others have many. The seriousness and frequency of symptoms, and how long they last, vary depending on the individual and the stage of the illness.Symptoms of Depression(1)Feelings of guilt, sadness, worthlessness, helplessness or hopelessness(2)Loss of interest or pleasure in hobbies and activities(3)Difficulty concentrating, remembering, making decisions(4)Persistent aches or p ains(5)Insomnia(6)Appetite and/ or weight changes(7)Consistent fatigue and decreased energy(8)Thoughts of death or suicide, suicide a ttempts3.Depression is treatable.Depression, even the most serious cases, can be treated. The earlier treatment begins, the more effective it will be.Dealing With Depression✓Reach out and stay connected: Make real-life communication a priority! Spend time with other people and confide in a trusted friend or relative. Let them help you.✓Try to be active and exercise: Aim for at least 30 minutes of exercise every day. This does not have to be all at once. A ten-minute walk can improve your mood for two hours.✓Eat a healthy and mood-boosting diet: Reduce foods that contain caffeine, alcohol, trans fats, and foods with high levels of chemical preservatives as well as sugars.✓Get a daily dose of sunlight: Sunlight can help improve your mood. Whenever possible, get outside during daylight hours and expose yourself to the sun.✓Challenge negative thinking: Nothing is as bad as it seems at first. Try to move your focus away from concentrating on what is bad in your life.✓Find professional help: If none of the above tips help, do not wait for the symptoms to disappear. Seek professional help.4.You are not alone.In addition to your treatment, you could also join a support group. At the meetings, people share experiences, feelings, information, and coping strategies for living with depression. Depression Around the WorldNearly seven percent of American teens and adults are currently living with depression. About 300 million people around the world are suffering from depression.60.According to the article, depression is NOT something that.① makes a person feel a little bit sad② always has a clear cause③ a person can get rid of④ happens to a small group of peopleA. ①②③B. ①②④C. ①③④D. ②③④61.According to the article, who might be suffering from depression?A.A teenager who frequently complained of stomachaches before going to school andpreferred to stay in her room alone.B.A firefighter who had a sleepless night after a tough task.C.A mother who felt really exhausted after helping her child with her homework.D.An old man who had no appetite for his favorite food and decided to try a new diet.62.If you had a friend who was living with depression, you should probably suggest he.A.make an overseas trip all by h imselfB.stay at the gym and work out day and nightC.concentrate on the negative feelings and try to overcome themD.take professional advice and accept medical intervention(C)On Wednesday, two things happened. In Syria, 80 people were killed by government airstrikes. Meanwhile, in Florida, Elon Musk’s SpaceX successfully launched and fired a sports car into space. Guess which story has dominated mainstream news sites?The launch of Musk’s Falcon Heavy rocket, the most powerful ever launched by a private company, went off successfully. Musk sent his cherry-red Tesla roadster running toward Mars, launching “a new space age”.The event attracted phenomenal publicity and made the rocket launch a masterstroke of advertising for Tesla.Meanwhile, in Syria, where hundreds of thousands of refugees may be forced to return to unsafe homes, a UN human rights coordinator for Syria said despondently(沮丧地) that he was no longer sure why he bothers to videotape the effects of bombing, since nobody ever pays attention: He wondered what level of violence it would take to make the world care.There is, perhaps, no better way to appreciate the tragedy of 21st-century global inequality than by watching a billionaire spend $90m launching a $100,000 car into space.Musk said he wanted to participate in a space race because “races are exciting” and that while strapping his car to a rocket may be “silly and fun … silly and fun things are important”. Thus, anyone who mentions the huge waste the project involves, or the various social uses to which these resources could be put, can be dismissed as a killjoy.But one doesn’t have to hate fun to question the justification for pursuing a costly newspace race at exactly this moment. If we examine the situation honestly, it becomes hard to defend a project like t his.A mission to Mars does indeed sound exciting, but it’s important to have our priorities straight. First, perhaps we could make it so that a child no longer dies of malaria every two minutes. Or we could try to address the level of poverty in Alabama which has become so extreme that the UN investigator did not believe it could occur in a first-world country. Perhaps when violence, poverty and disease are solved, then we can head for the stars.Many might think that what Elon Musk chooses to do with his billions is Elon Musk’s business alone. If he wanted to spend all his money on medicine for children, that would be nice, but if he’d like to spend it making big explosions and sending his convertible on a million-mile space voyage, that’s his r ight.But Musk is only rich enough to afford these money-consuming projects because we have allowed social inequalities to arise in the first place. If wealth were actually distributed fairly in this country, nobody would be in a position to fund his own private space program.Elon Musk is right: silly and fun things are important. But some of them are an indefensible waste of resources. While there are still humanitarian crises such as that in Syria, nobody can justify vast spending on rocketry experiments.63.Why does the writer mention the two pieces of news at the beginning of the passage?A.To highlight the significance of SpaceX’s successful launch of a rocket and a car into space.B.To illustrate the inequality of wealth distribution and the consequent inequality ofattention distribution.C.To appeal to the government for more attention to the air strikes and refugee crisis in Syria.D.To find out which news dominated the mainstream news s ites.64.Why did the UN human rights coordinator for Syria feel disappointed?A.Because nobody appreciated his work and all the efforts he made.B.Because the violence in Syria is not serious enough to make the world care.C.Because however hard he tried, nobody seemed to care about the situation in Syria.D.Because he had great difficulty videotaping the effects of bombing.65.What is implied in paragraph in 6 and 7?A.The space project of SpaceX cost the government too much money.B.Addressing problems of violence, poverty and diseases should be our top priority.C.Space programs are a waste of money that cannot be justified.D.It kills the fun to question the justification of the pursuit of space programs.66.What does the writer mainly want to tell u s?A.We should pay equal attention to space projects and solving social problems.B.No private companies should be allowed to spend money in rocketry experiments.C.The successful launch of SpaceX has distracted the world from more important things.D.The money and resources used in space projects could have been used to deal with varioussocial problems.Section CDirections: Complete the following passage by using the sentences in the box. Each sentence can only be used once. Note that there are two sentences more than you need.A.He inspired our imagination and hoped we could use it to make the world a better place.B.If all these entertainment products can be traced to one person, it would be Stan Lee, who died last November at the age of 95.C.Lee also appeared in a number of Marvel movies, watering his lawn, delivering the mail, andso on.D.In order to keep multiple stories going at the same time, Lee wove them together into a seamless(无缝的) fictional world.E.Under Lee, Marvel transformed the comic book world by humanizing its characters.F.Through the honesty of guys like Spider-Man, we learn about different aspects of human nature.Think of Spider-Man, Iron Man and Ant-Man. Think of Black Panther, the Mighty Thor and the X-Men. Think of the Incredible Hulk, the Fantastic Four and all the other superheroes that have stimulated the popular imagination. 67. From a small office in Manhattan in the 1960s, he helped create a lineup of fictional heroes that have crossed from page to screen in a series of TV and movie adaptations and changed the face of popular culture.For many, he was the face of Marvel, if not comic books in general, witnessing the company’s rise to become an international media giant. As a writer, editor, publisher and Hollywood executive, he played a critical role in what comic fans call one of the medium’s golden ages.68. Lee gave the heroes flaws and insecurities, as well as an awareness of trends, social causes and a sense of humor, trying to “make them real flesh-and-blood characters with personality,” he told The Washington Post in 1992. “That’s what any story should have, but comics didn’t have it until that point. They were all cardboard figures.”69. Iron Man, for example, could join forces with the Fantastic Four, and Captain America could find himself a wedding guest alongside Doctor Strange. Lee created a fictional universe for readers to explore — one that made readers buy multiple series to get the whole story.“I used to think what I did was not very important,” Lee told the Chicago Tribune in 2014.“People are building bridges and participating in medical research, and here I was working on stories about fictional people who do crazy things and wear costumes. But I suppose I have come to realize that entertainment is not easily dismissed.”Stan Lee was as extraordinary as the characters he created, said Disney chairman and CEO Bob Iger. Indeed, Lee worked tirelessly his whole life creating great characters for the world to enjoy. 70. His legacy will outlive us all.IV.Summary Writing (71)Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.Standing desks have been praised for their positive effects on physical health, reducing sitting time and lowering certain health risks linked to a sedentary( 久坐的) lifestyle. But could standing desks have positive mental effects?。

2019-2020学年安徽省铜陵市第四中学高三英语月考试题及参考答案
2019-2020学年安徽省铜陵市第四中学高三英语月考试题及参考答案第一部分阅读（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项AThe Origins of Famous BrandsOur lives are full of brand names and trademarked products that we use every day. Although many brand names are simple acronyms(首字母缩略词) or versions of their founders names, some of the companies we trust every day actually have fascinating and surprising back stories.StarbucksIt seems fitting that the most famous coffee brand in the world would take its name from one of the world’s greatest works of literature. The inspiration for the name of the coffeehouse came from Herman Melville’sMoby Dick. The founders’ original idea was to name the company after the Captain Ahab’s ship, but they eventually decided that Pequot wasn’t a great name for coffee, so they chose Ahab’s first mate, Starbucks, as the name instead.GoogleGoogle was originally called Backrub, for it searched for links in every corner of the Web. In 1997, when the founders of the company were searching for a new name showing a huge amount of data for their rapidly improving search technology, a friend suggested the word “googol”. When a friend tried to register the new domain (域) name, he misspelled “googol” as “google”.NikeOriginally founded as a distributor for Japanese running shoes, the company was originally named BRS, or Blue Ribbon Sports. In 1971, BRS introduced its own soccer shoe, a model called Nike, which is alsothe name for the Greek goddess of victory. In 1978, the company officially renamed itself as Nike, Inc.The right name is essential to a company’s success, and a great origin story is just as important as a great product. An attractive origin story is one more thing that keeps customers guessing, wondering, and buying its products.1. What is the name of the Captain Ahab’s ship?A. Moby Dick.B. Starbucks.C. Pequot.D. Herman Melville.2. Why did the founders of the Google want to change its name?A. They mistook their name.B. They wanted new customers.C. The company’s original name was too long.D. The company’s search technology was improving rapidly.3. Where does the importance of the origin story of one company lie in?A. It can change the company’s image.B. It can add myth to the company.C. It explains the development of the company to customers.D. It makes customers imagine and purchase its goods.BOver the years, NASA has successfully sent several rovers (飞行器) to Mars. While the science laboratories continue to provide important information on the Red Planet, they keep the space exploration rovers staying closeto the original landing place.To get a more comprehensive (详尽的) view of Mars, the US Space Agency plans to make a small test helicopter with the Mars 2020 Rover, which will be sent off in July 2020.The football-sized “marscopter” weighs about four pounds.It can fly at about ten times the speed of helicopters on Earth. The light weight and fast speed are important for the helicopter to be able to fly in the thin Mars atmosphere, which is about just one percent of that of Earth. “To make it fly in that thin Mars atmosphere, we had to make everything ready, and make it as light as possible while being as strong and powerful as it can possibly be. “Mimi Aung, Mars helicopter project manager, said in a meeting.Upon landing on the Red Planet, the Mars 2020 Rover will find a proper location to send of the helicopter. The helicopter will start with a short climb, no higher than 10 feet, and hover (盘旋) for just 30 seconds before landing back on the Mars surface. If all goes well, five more flights of longer distances, for 90 seconds each, will be conducted over the next 30 days. The short journeys will be recorded by a small camera and sent back to the scientists on Earth.If the plan goes on well, the first helicopter to fly in another world, will open up a whole new way to explore Mars. The Mars helicopter's first flight will be a great invention. For those of us whose research is about flight, that would be a wonderful, historic moment.4. To fly in thin Mars atmosphere，we should make the helicopter_______.A. strong and heavyB. heavy and fastC. light and fastD. strong and slow5. How many times will the helicopter fly?A. Three timesB. Four timesC. Five timesD. Six times6. What can we learn from the last paragraph?A. It’s interesting to fly in another world.B. I' s important to fly in another world.C. The plan to fly the helicopter goes on well.D. The helicopters first flight is successful.7. What may be the best title for the passage?A. To send a helicopter to Mars in 2020B. To send a rover to Mars in 2020C. To live in the thin Mars atmosphereD. To send back records to scientistsCBecause of COVID-19, in many places, large gatherings of people aren’t allowed. In some areas, the rules are more strict, and people aren't allowed to leave their homes unless going out is ly necessary.These steps are very important for slowing the disease down. By doing this, governments can make sure doctors and hospitals are better able to deal with all the sick people, and that fewer people suffer in all. Usually, it's called “flattening the curve”.But if no one can go out, that means businesses which depend on visitors struggle. Many singers, bands, and other musicians would normally be giving concerts now. Instead, they have to find new ways to share their music and connect with their audiences. The Metropolitan Opera in New York has canceled(取消) its season, but it is showing a special live stream of a different opera each day on its website. Other opera companies have made similar moves. Several theater companies are either offering recorded versions of their plays online or posting videos of their actors performing.Nick Green wrote a musical play that was canceled because of the virus. He set up a website with links that allow people to enjoy the work of artists around the world who have had their projects canceled. He called his project the Social Distancing Festival. He sad it was a time when he should be doing something new, rather than feeling disappointed.Even TV shows have to find new ways to film their shows. Some late night TV shows have continued, but without audiences. Others are showing reruns.While their shows are on pause, some TV stars like Conan O’Brien and Jimmy Fallon have been filming short videos at home. Mr. O’ Brien plans to bring his show back on the air soon by filming with his own phone andtalking with guests over the Internet.8. What does the underlined phrase in Paragraph 2 refer to?A. Keeping patients staying at home anytime.B. Speed up the spread of disease.C. Stopping people from often gathering up.D. Slowing down the spread of the disease.9. What are opera companies’ new ways?A. Stopping sharing music with audience.B. Providing live stream services.C. Trying to attract live audiences.D. Sharing their operas with each other10. What did the cancellation of Nick Green's play bring him?A. Disappointment.B. Annoyance .C. Creativity.D. Anxiety.11. What is the text mainly about?A. People staying at home .B. The absence of audiences.C. The efforts of Nick Green .D. Entertainment going online .DWhile space travel still gets lot of attention, not enough attention has been paid to the exploration of oceans, about which we know much less than the dark side of the moon.Ninety percent of the ocean floor has not even been recorded and while we have been to the moon, the technology to explore the ocean's floors is still being developed. For example, a permanent partially-underwater sea exploration station, called the Sea Orbiter, is currently in development.The oceans play a major role in controlling our climate. But we have not learned yet how to use them to cool us off rather than contribute to our overheating. Ocean organisms are said to hold the promise of cures for a wide of the unique eyes of skate (ray fish) led to advances in conquering blindness, the horseshoe crab was important in developing a test for bacterial pollution, and sea urchins helped in the development of test-tube fertilization(人工授精). The toadfish's' ability to regenerate its central nervous system is of much interest to neuroscientists. A recent Japanese study concluded that the drug Eribulin, which was taken from sea sponges, is effective in fighting with breast, colon, and Urinary cancer.Given the approaching crisis of water insufficiency, we badly need to improve current methods, of desalinating(淡化) ocean water and make them more efficient and less costly. By 2025, 1.8 billion people are expected to suffer from severe water shortage, with that number jumping to 3. 9 billion by 2050-well over a third of the entire global population.If the oceansdo not make your heart go beating faster, how about engineering a bacterium that eats carbondioxide — and thus helps protect the world from overheating — and produces fuel which will allow us to drive our cars and machines, without oil? I cannot find any evidence that people young or old, Americans or citizens of other nations would be less impressed or less inspired with such a breakthrough than with one more set of photos of a faraway galaxy or a whole Milky Way full of stars.12. What does the author think about the ocean exploration?A. It is equal to the space exploration.B. It is well developed.C. It deserves more attention and devotion.D. It is beyond our knowledge.13. What technology has been developed to make use of the oceans?A. Curing human diseases with ocean organisms.B. Preventing the world getting warmer.C. Mapping the global ocean floor.D. Removing salt from sea water.14. What does the author imply in the last paragraph?A. The temperature rise will be overcome by a bacterium.B. Solving the existing problems is more significant.C. The space exploration is worth the efforts.D. The ocean exploration is not inspiring.15. What is the best title of the passage?A. Oceans, the Last Hope.B. Oceans, the Hidden Treasure.C. Space, the Final Frontier.D. Space, the Faraway Dream.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。

I had just turned 30 years old，and I’d been married for a year．I told my wife MacKenzie that I wanted to quit my job and go to do this crazy thing that probably wouldn’t work since most start-ups don’t and I wasn’t sure what to expect．MacKenzie told me I should go for it．As a young boy，I’d been a garage inventor．I’d always wanted to be all inventor，and she wanted me to follow my passion．I was working at a financial firm in New York City with a bunch of very smart people and I had a brilliant boss that I much admired．I went to my boss and told him I wanted to start a company selling books on the Internet．He took me on a long walk in Central Park，listened carefully to me，and finally said，“That sounds like a really good idea，but it would be an even better idea for someone who didn’t already have a good job．”That 1ogic made some sense to me，and he convinced me to think about it for 48 hours before making a final decision．Seen in that light, it really was a difficult choice，but finally，I decided I had to give it a shot．I didn’t think I’d regret trying and failing．And I suspected I would always be haunted by a decision to not try at all.After much consideration ，I took the less safe path to follow my passion ，and I’m proud of that choice．For all of us，in the end，we are our choice．21．What inspired the author with the idea of building an online bookstore?A．His dream of being an inventor．B．The support of his wife．C．The greatly increasing usage of the Internet．D．Millions of exciting titles,22．Which of the following is closest in meaning to the underlined sentence?A．The idea of not trying would keep coming to his mind and disturb him．B．He would be very excited if he tried it out．C．H e would be always having a doubt if he didn’t try．D．The decision to not try the online bookstore would terrify him．23．Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?A．Cleverness and Kindness B．The Starting of AmazonC．Following My Passion D．We Are What We Choose24．We can know from the passage that_______．A．the boss thought the idea was suitable for the authorB．the author wanted someone else to try the ideaC．the author might not regret if he failed the ideaD．the author might go back to his boss if he failedBSince Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay climbed Mount Everest, Mount Qomolangma’s peak is no longer a lonely place and is turning into a trash heap.So far, more than 350 climbers have successfully reached the peak. And they have complained about waiting for hours in the bottlenecks (狭窄路段) on the way to the peak, a situation that isn’t just uncomfortable —it’s cold an d windy up there —but downright dangerous. If bad weather strikes, climbers can and do die.As a matter of fact, the dangerous crowds aren’t the only problem on Qomolangma. All those climbers need to bring a lot of gear—and much of them ends up being left on the mountain, sometimes even the peak itself. Mount Qomolangma is becoming the world’s largest dump. Here’s mountaineer Mark Jenkins writing in National Geographic about the state of Qomolangma: “The two standard routes, the Northeast Ridge and the Southeast Ridge, are disgustingly polluted with oxygen cans and torn tents everywhere.”But the good news is that some mountaineers are taking it upon themselves to clean up Qomolangma. Mountianeer Paul Thelen and his friend Eberhard Schaaf are part of the annual Eco Everest Expedition, which has been cleaning up rubbish from base camps to the peak since 2008. So far they’ve collected over 13 tons of garbage.Some of that rubbish is even being used for a higher purpose. As part of the Mount Everest 8844 Art Project, a group of 15 artists from Nepal collected 1.5 tons of garbage brought down the mountain by climbers. They’ve transformed the cans and oxygen tanks—and in one case, part of the remains of a helicopter—into 74 pieces of art that have already gone on exhibition in Nepal’s capital. Part of the profit from sales will go to the Everest Peakers Association, which has helped collect tons of rubbish on the slopes of the mountain.25. What does the underlined word “gear” mean?A.

Eco Everest Expedition Proves SuccessfulB. Qomolangma Has Become A Huge MessC. Test Yourself Against QomolangmaD. Recycle Rubbish On QomolangmaCThe bed should be reserved as a place for sleep, but people tend to read an iPad a lot in bed before they go to sleep.Charles Czeisler, a professor at Harvard Medical School, and his colleagues got a small group of people for an experiment. For five days in a row, the people read either a paper book or an iPad for four hours before sleep. Their sleep patterns were monitored all night. Before and after each trial period, the people took hourly blood tests to paint a day-long picture of just how much melatonin (褪黑激素) was in their blood at any given time.When subjects read on the iPad as compared to the paper books, they reported feeling less sleepy at night and less active the following morning. People also took longer to fall asleep on the iPad nights, and the blood tests showed that their melatonin secretion (分泌) was delayed by an hour and a half.The researchers conclude in today's journal article that given the rise of e-readers and the increasingly widespread use of e-things among children and adolescents, more research into the long-term consequences of these devices on health and safety is urgently needed. Czeisler and colleagues go on, in the research paper, to note：“Reading an iPad in bed may increase cancer risk.”However, software has been developed that can reduce some of the blue light from the screens of phones and computers according to time of day, and there are also glasses that are made to filter (过滤) short wavelengths. While they seem likea logical solution for the nighttime tech users, it needs more research.28. In Charles Czeislers experiment, all the subjects were asked to______.A. sit in a row and receive the strict testsB. have their sleep patterns observed all nightC. read a paper book and an iPad at the same timeD. have their blood tested per hour during the trial29 The third paragraph tells us the iPad readers were likely to____________.A. feel less sleepy and tired in the dayB. fall asleep more easily after readingC. become less energetic the next morningD. have a lot more melatonin secretion30. The special software recently developed can______.A. remove the blue light from your devices completelyB. help prevent eyes being harmed by short wavelengthC. weaken the harm done by doing nighttime e-readingD. be used in all the e-things widely and safely31. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A. No e-reading in bed before sleepB. New software for night e-readersC. Wrong behaviors before bedtimeD. No games on iPad in bedDSee a cellphone cover that you like on Taobao? Forget about placing an order, paying the bill online and waiting for days for it to be delivered to you. In the near future, you'll be able to get it in minutes just by hitting “print” on your computer.You might find it hard to believe that you could actually “print” an obj ect like you would a picture. But it is not that hard to understand how it would work. Just as a traditional printer sprays ink onto paper line by line, modern 3D printers spread material onto a surface layer by layer, from the bottom to the top, gradually building up a shape.Instead of ink, the materials the 3D printer uses are mainly plastic, resin(树脂) and certain metals. The thinner each layer is—from a millimetre to less than the width of a hair—the smoother and finer the object will be.This may sound like a completely new technology, but the truth is that 3D printing has been around since the late 1980s. Back then, it was barely affordable for most people, so few knew about it.Last year, though, saw a big change in the 3D printing industry—printers became much cheaper. For example, 10 years ago a desktop 3D printer might have cost ￡20，000, while now they cost only about ￡1，000, according to the BBC.Taken out of the factory and introduced to more diverse and common uses, 3D printing can create just about anything you can think of—flutes , bikinis, jewelry, aircraft parts and even human organs. In fact, scientists from Cornell University in New York have just made an artificial ear using a 3D printer, according to Science Daily. The fake ear looks and acts exactly like a natural one.However, as 3D printing becomes more common, it may bring about certain problems—such as piracy. “Once you can download a coffee maker, or print out a new set of kitchen utensils (餐具) on your personal 3D printer, who will visit a retail store again？” an expert in 3D printing told Forbes News. Even more frightening, what if anyone in the world could use a 3D printer to print out a fully functioning gun?32. According to the article, in the future, the 3D printing technology will _______.A. enable people to make better purchases onlineB. change the way we make many productsC. be applied as widely in our daily life as computersD. shorten the time it takes for people to get what they buy online33. What happened in the 3D printing industry last year?A. The 3D printing technology was taken out of the factory.B. The 3D printing technology began to be used in various fields.C. The 3D printer was used for medical treatment for the first time.D. The 3D printer became more affordable for consumers.34. What is the best title of the passage?A. Great Demand for 3D PrintersB. Technology in the FutureC. Online Shopping DisappearingD. Printing out Everything35. How is the last paragraph developed?A. By giving examples.B. By making comparisons.C. By analyzing the cause and effect.D. By presenting research findings.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。
