Akashi Kaikyo Bridge, Akashi Strait, JapanIt took 10 years to construct the Akashi Kaikyo Bridge.It connects the city of Kobe, on Japan’s mainland, with Iwaya on Awaji Island. Before it opened, the only way to get between the two cities was by ferry. However, the waterway was at the mercy of severe storms and when two ferries overturned in 1955, killing 168 people, public anger convinced the government of the need for a bridge. It's the longest suspension bridge in the world, with a length of1,991 meters.Panama Canal, PanamaMore than 4. 5 million cubic yards of concrete were used in the construction of this canal’s locks and dams.

One way in which adults can develop their interest in a new subject is to search the Internet. A potentially much richer way is to wander through a learning environment, such as a science museum, _____31 _____out in a systematic way to introduce visitors to particular subjects. With the help of audiovisual aids, computer-_____32_____ instruction and other devices, a museum can bring a subject alive in ways that compare _____33_____ with a television programme, or a book. The kind of help that museums can give to adults can equally well be given to children, and to teachers whose pupils have come to the museum for specific _____34_____ .At a time when the demand for public accountability has never been greater, it is worth remembering that many museums receive substantial grants towards what is supposed to be stimulating educational _____35_____ for the general public.Museums accepting these grants, yet offering little more than the_____ 36_____ public lecture, or very minimal help to schoolteacher arriving at the museum with their pupils, therefore risk having such financial support severely cut back, or even _____37_____.Why is this done? The idea is that museums should not simply be aiming to be popular and entertaining, they should also be truly _____38_____ learning environments. Given that this is their aim, they should not just spread facts and theories. They should show the visitor exactly what to do with the information provided. Isolated pieces of information, _____39_____ as they may be. do not encourage museum visitors to use their intelligence. For example, if told that some fleas can jump 130 times their own height, visitors simply have no idea of how to apply this _____40_____ unless they are clearly pointed in the right direction.III.

At Seattle's Woodland Park Zoo, the elephant exhibit, where countless children have watched elephants play, now sits _____42_____ . The zoo, long _____43_____ as a world leader in innovative design, built a $3 million state-of-the-art facility for the species in the 1980s. But in recent years, animal-rights advocates had criticized the exhibit as inhumane for being too small and not _____44_____ the elephants' natural living area. Under pressure from activists following the death of an elephant in 2014, and thanks to new guidelines from the nation's main zoo organization, Woodland Park officials decided to _____45_____ one of its most popular exhibits and place the elephants elsewhere.Nearly two centuries after the first modern zoo opened in London's Regent's Park, the very concept of a place where families can visit and observe animals is being _____46_____ like never before. Across the US and around the world, zoos are finding that balancing the demands of entertainment, education and conservation is increasingly _____47_____. Ethical(伦理的）concerns have been coupled with _____48_____ fears—both for people and for animals—following an incident in May when officials at the Cincinnati Zoo shot and killed a 17-year-old gorilla named Haram be to protect a child who'd fallen into the exhibit. More _____49_____, there's a greater sensitivity to the environmental implications of zoos.Ask a dozen zoo directors why these places should exist today and you'll get a different answer every time. Education, conservation and science all _____50_____. But the _____51_____ answer -cultivating sympathy for animals—is becoming harder to do while providing humane care to these animals.Study after study has shown that many animal species are far smarter and more _____52_____ than previously understood, giving new insights into how they may suffer from anxiety and depression when they are removed from _____53_____.

Not even those who have _____54_____ the cause for more humane exhibits have an answer.

It was a 5,800 kilometre journey—and he travelled the whole distance on a skateboard. David Cornthwaite, who started skateboarding less than two years ago, decided on his journey after waking up one morning and realising he hated his job. 'I thought the only thing keeping me going is the skate to and from work. I was looking for something new/ he said. "I saw a Lonely Planet guide to Australia. There was a map on the back. Perth was on one side and Brisbane on the other and I thought, 'that'll do”.He decided to prepare by skateboarding from John O'Groats to Lands End: the two points further apart on the British mainland. That 1,442 kilometre journey, which he finished in June, took just over a month, during which an infected blister (水泡)swelled to the 'size of a tennis ball’. Crossing Australia on a skateboard brough unique challenges. The wind caused by huge road trains, the lorries that thunder across the Outback, was so powerful that he was sometimes blown off his board. Multiple blisters and aching ankles, toes and feet, have kept him in almost constant pain for the last six weeks. ,I feel like an old man. I'm not sure that anyone has ever had this many blisters/ he said. Temperatures of 40cC and above mean that he has used more than a dozen tubes of factor 30 sunscreen. 'There have been moments where I thought "this is ridiculous. I have to rest”，but I never considered giving up.’Skating an average of 50 kilometres a day and hitting speeds of up to 50kph on downhill runs, he left Perth. Western Australia, and skated across the fearsome Nullarbor Plain into South Australia. After reaching Adelaide he made his way to Melbourne and from there to Sydney A support team of seven people trailed from all the way in a four-wheel drive vehicle, which included camping equipment for night shops. The journey has smashed the previous record for a long-distance skateboard, set by an American, Jack Smith, who covered 4,800 kilometres across the US in 2003. David Comthwaite was less than three kilometres from the end of his epic journey when he hit a hole and was thrown off his skateboard, suffering cuts and bruises to his shoulders, knees, hips and elbows. ‘I was only going to 40km at the time, so although it wasn't pretty; it could have been a lot worse,’ he said.56. Why did David Comthwaite decide to skateboard across Australia?A. He wanted to break a world record.B. He was an experienced skateboarderC. He wanted to try something different.D. He was given a guidebook about Australia.51. What made David fall of his skateboard several times in Australia?A. The injuries on his feet.B. The thunderstorms in the Outback.C. The trains that race across the Outback.D. The wind created by huge lorries going past.58. Which of the following statements is true of David while he was on the journey?A. He slept in a tent during the journey.B. He skated at an average speed of 50 kph.C. He thought of giving up the journey halfway.D. He was sunburned due to the misuse of sunscreen.(B)Often enough the craft worker's place of employment in ancient Greece was set in rural isolation. Potter, for instance, found it convenient to locate their workshops near their source of clay, regardless of its relation to the center of settlement. At Corinth and Athens, however, two of the best-known potters' quarters were situated on the cities’ outskirts, and potters and makers of terra-cotta figurines (陶制俑)were also established well within the city of Athens itself Athenian black-figure and red-figure decoration, which emphasized human figures rather than animal images, was adopted between 630 and 530 B.C.: its distinctive color was the result of the skillful adjustments of the kiln’s (窑) temperature during an extended three-stage period. Whether it was the potters or the vase-painters who initiated changes in firing is unclear; the functions of making and decorating were usually divided between them, but neither group can have been so specialized that they did not share in the concerns of the other.The broad use of terra-cotta was such that workers in clay could generally afford to limit . themselves to either decorated ware and housewares like cooking pots and storage jars or building materials. Some sixth-and fifth-century B.C. Athenian pottery establishments are known to have concentrated on a limited range of fine ware, but a rural pottery establishment on the island of Thasos produced many types of pottery and roof tiles too, presumably to meet local demand. Molds were used to create particular effects for some products or to facilitate mass production. There were also a number of poor-quality figurines and painted pots produced in quantity by easy, inexpensive means, as numerous featureless statuettes and unattractive cases testify.60. The passage mainly discusses ancient Greek pottery and its__________.A. unusual materialsB. production techniquesC. similarity to other craftsD. resemblance to earlier pottery61 . Which of the following advantage did terra-cotta have?A. It had a lasting shine on the surface.B. It could be used for many purposes.C. It did not break during the firing process.D. It was less expensive than other available materials.62. Which of the following statements is true of ancient Greek potters and vase painters?A. They seldom produced inferior ware.B. They stuck to their way of producing pieces.C. It is almost impossible to draw a clear line between them.D. It is hard to explain why they didn't make any human images’(C)How does one protect elephants from ivory poachers (象牙偷猎者)in an African reserve the size of a small country? This task typically falls to park rangers who may spend weeks patrolling the bush on foot sometimes lacking basic devices such as radios, tents or even socks. They are largely losing to poachers.To stop the losses, conservationists are increasingly turning to technology. The latest tools include real-time tracking collars, developed by the Kenya-based nonprofit Save the Elephants and currently being used on more than 325 animals in 10 countries--- The organization's researchers wrote algorithms (算法)that use signals from the collars to automatically detect when an animal stops moving (indicating it may be dead), slows down (suggesting it may be injured) or heads toward a danger zone, such as an area known for poaching. Unlike traditional tracking collars, many of which send geographical coordinates infrequently or store them onboard for later retrieval, these devices' real-time feeds enable rangers to react quickly. In several cases, they have led to arrests.The amount of data produced by the new collars quickly became overwhelming, however. So Save the Elephants partnered with Vulcan- a company created by Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen—which engineered an open-source tracking application for iOS and the Web called the Domain Awareness System. The DAS app sends alerts when a potential problem arises—if field sensors pick up on human intruders, for example. It also integrates a wealth of other information, including the positions of nearby rangers, vehicles and aircraft, as well as detected gunshots, camera trap feeds, arrest and crime-scene records, weather, and more.Some of the technologies used in the collars—GPS, onboard data storage, phone or satellite receivers—are found in everyday devices, including smartphones. Yet in this case these tools are being applied in an exceptional way, according to Jake Wall, geospatial science adviser for Save the Elephants. It is the first time all the data that DAS uses have been presented in one neat feed and map, he says.An early version of the program is being tested at four sites in Africa, with a 10-site expansion planned for September. At Lewa Wildlife Conservancy in Kenya, DAS is already seen as a game changer after its launch less than a year ago, says Batian Craig, director of 51 Degrees, a private company that oversees security operations at Lewa.63. The latest tracking collars are different from traditional ones in that __________.A. they can send signals immediatelyB. they withdraw information at any timeC. they can store more information onboardD. they send geographical coordinates infrequently64. Why did Save the Elephants partner with Vulcan?A. It has met with financial problems.B. It hopes to make a big profit in the future.C. It doesn't know how to advance its collar.D. It can't handle the collected data very well.65. What does Batian Craig say about DAS?A. It will make a big difference.B. It was launched in September.C. It will have a new version soon.D. It needs to be tested at more sites.66. Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?A. How Elephants LiveB. Find My ElephantC. Elephant-Friendly AreasD.

Discovered accidentally in 1974, in Xi'an Province, in China, when local farmers were digging for water, over 8.000 baked clay figures have since been found.__________67__________ Emperor Qin was one of the most important rulers in Chinese history. After becoming emperor of the state of Qin at the age of 13. he conquered six other states over the next 25 years, and became the first emperor of a united China.In Qin's time, the ancient Chinese believed that their "afterlife" was very similar to the life on earth. Consequently, when they died and were buried, objects which would be useful to them in the next life were buried with them. __________ 68__________ In addition, the emperor ordered an army to be built so that his palace would be protected.__________69__________ In ancient China, however, they used a completely different method.A huge production line was established to make the tens of thousands of individual human and animal statues which Emperor Qin demanded. All the different pails of the body such as legs, arms, and heads were made separately and then assembled. The same process was also used for other pieces such as ears, beards, and armour. When the whole figure was completed, it was baked in an oven.The terracotta figures are life-like and life-sized. Each one has a different facial expression and hairstyle, as well as uniforms which indicate their job and rank. Among the figures there are ordinary soldiers, archers, and officers, together with horses. They were discovered arranged in military formation ready to protect the emperor in the afterlife.In 1987, the tomb and army of Emperor Qin were declared a World Heritage site by UNESCO. __________70__________ The Terracotta Army clearly deserves this honour, as nearly two million people from all over the world visit it each year.IV.

Use your own words as far as possible.Common Characteristics of FolktalesMost of us know some very old folktales. People shared these stories orally for years before writing them down. Since people told stories instead of writing them, the stories changed in between places and with each storyteller. Each new storyteller made changes to the stories based on his own traditions and culture. For example, many cultures have stories like the raven tale about how people got light. In these tales, though, the main character is another type of animal.Next the characters in folktales are similar They are usually ordinary characters who do extraordinary things. They usually have only one or two strong characteristics. For instance, thechief in the Raven story is selfish and not very smart. But Raven is very generous—he wants to help people. And he's very clever as he finds a way to get the light . In addition, often the characters in folktales are not people but animals with human qualities. They talk, make plans, and have strong emotions. Small animals such as the popular spider and turtle play this role in West African stories. In summary, the characters of folktales are simple but often clever in achieving their goals. Finally, the plot, or what happens in the folktale, is usually exciting. Most folktales begin with an expression like “a long time ago" and then move very quickly into the story, which starts with a problem. For instance, a strong, bad character often gives a weaker character a task and promises something if he completes the task. The weaker character often uses clever tricks, special skills, or magic to complete the task. In the end of a folktale, the good characters usually win and the bad characters lose. In conclusion, the plot of a folktale is interesting.So, in summary, we know that the tradition of folktales is very old. They are told all over the world, but they share several of the same features, as said above.V.

第一部分阅读理解（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，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。
AIt’s rare that you see the words “shyness” and “letter” in the same sentence.After all,the common viewpoint is that those outgoing and sociable guys make great public speakers and excellent networkers and that those shy people are not.A survey conducted by USA Today referred to 65 percent of executives who believed shyness to be a barrier to leadership.Interestingly,the same article stresses that roughly 40 percent of leaders actually are quite shy—they're just better at adapting themselves to situational demands.Bill Gates,Warren Buffet and Charles Schwab are just a few "innies".Unlike their outgoing counterparts who are more sensitive to rewards and risk-taking,shy people take a cautious approach to chance.Rather than the flashy chit-chat that defines social gathering,shy people listen attentively to what others say and absorb it before they speak.They're not thinking about what to say while the other person is still talking,but rather listening so they can learn what to say.Along the same lines,shy people share a common love of learning.They are intrinsically（内在地）motivated and therefore seek content regardless of achieving an outside standard.Being shy can also bring other benefits.Remember being in school and hearing the same kids contribute,until shy little Johnny,who almost never said a word,cut in?Then what happened? Everyone turned around to look with great respect at little Johnny actually talking.This is how shy people made good use of their power of presence: they "own" the moment by speaking calmly and purposefully,which translate to a positive image.Shyness is often related to modesty.Not to say that limelight-seekers aren't modest,but shy people tend to have an accurate sense of their abilities and achievements.As a result,they are able to acknowledge mistakes,imperfections, knowledge gaps and limitations.Since shy people have a lower sensitivity to outside rewards than outgoing ones,they're more comfortable working with little information and sticking to their inner desires.Shy people are alsomore likely to insist on finding solutions that aren't primarily apparent.Don't believe me?Maybesuccessful person.The myth that shy people are less effective leaders than their outgoing fellows is just a misunderstanding.Make wise use of your personality strengths to lead your business no matter what side of the range you fall on.1.We can learn from Paragraph 2 that_______.A.shy people are sensitive to rewardsB.shy people care more about contentC.outgoing people are more careful about chancesD.outgoing people consider what to learn while listening2.The example of Johnny shows______.A.shy people are likely to be modestB.hardworking students speak little in publicC.some students keep silent on purpose at schoolD.shy people may have an advantage in discussion3.We can learn from the underlined sentence in Paragraph 5 that______.A.shyness results in successB.shyness contributes to popularityC.outside reward leads to insistenceD.uncertainty counts more than certainty4.The author supports his ideas mainly by______.A.giving definitions and presenting research resultsB.explaining problems and providing solutionsC.quoting authorities and making evaluationsD.making contrasts and gibing examplesB“Can’t hold a candle to”is a popular expression.When there wasn’t electricity,someone would have a servant light his way by holding a candle.The expression meant that the person who cannot hold a candle to you is not fit even to be your servant.Now,it means such a person cannot compare or compete.Another expression is “hold your tongue.”It means to be still and not talk.“H old your tongue”is not something you would tell a friend.But a parent or teacher might use the expression to quiet a noisy child.“Hold out”is an expression one hears often in sports reports and labor news.It means to refuse to play or work. Professional football and baseball players “hold out” if their team refuses to pay them what they think they are worth.The expression “hold up” has several different meanings.One is a robbery.A man with a gun may say,“This is a hold up.Give me your money.”Another meaning is to delay.A driver who was held up by heavy traffic might be late for work.Another meaning is for a story to be considered true after an investigation.A story can hold up if it is proved true.“Hold on”is another expression,which means wait or stop.As you leave for school,your brother may say,“Hold on,you forgot your book.” It is used to ask a telephone caller to wait and not hang up his telephone.Our final expression is “hold the line.”That means to keep a problem or situation from getting worse—to hold steady.For example,the president may say he will “hold the line on taxes.”He means there will be no increase in taxes.5.The expression “can’t hold a candle to” can be used when _______.A.some footballers refuse to play a gameB.someone else is wanted on the phoneC.someone is not qualified for a positionD.someone was delayed by heavy traffic6.The tune of the phrase “hold your tongue” is probably a little_______.A.amusingB.politeC.unfriendlyD.offensive7.If some teachers “hold out”,they probably______.A.change their attitudeB.refuse to workC.make a compromiseD.show their devotion8.Which of the following sentences can convey positive meanings?A.I was late as I was held up by a hold up.B.Hold on!You have to pay the bill,sir.C.You can’t even hold a candle to Michael.D.I promise to hold the line on house prices.CHow can we reduce the risk?There are four general approaches to dealing with volcanic（火山似的）dangers.We can try to keep the danger from occurring—often an impossible task.We can try to change its path or reduce its impact on existing development. We can take steps to protect future development.We can also do our best to have disaster response plans in place before they are needed.Removing the ThreatClearly,there is no way to stop an eruption.We can,however,attempt to reduce the eruption’s effects by strengthening structures,for example,building protective works such as walls to make lava（熔岩）flow away from developed areas.Such efforts can be and have been successful,but are of limited use in a large-scale（范围）eruption.Planning for the FutureProtecting future development from volcanic dangers is a simple task.Before building houses,we should judge the risk.If the risk seems too great,a safer location should be found.This type of planning is very effective,but all too often,people are drawn to the lush（葱郁的）,rolling land of a quiet volcano.Disaster Preparedness（预案）When a volcano comes to life,a few weeks may not be enough to avoid a tragedy.Planning is the key to saving lives.Well before the warning signs occur,people must be educated about volcanic dangers.Escape plans must be in munication between scientists,officials,the media,and the general public should be practiced.Emergency measures must be thought out and agreed upon.If you doubt the importance of these efforts,take another look at past volcanic tragedies,such as the eruption of Nevado del munication failures left the town of Armero unprepared for escape.When a deadly mudflow came down the slope（斜坡）,21,000 people—90 percent of the town’s people—died.9.The passage is intended for_______.A.the general publicB.architectsC.adventurersD.geographers10.When building houses,people tend to______.A.judge volcanic dangers carefullyB.take volcanic dangers seriouslyC.live near a quiet volcanoD.find a safer place far away from a volcano11.The writer mentioned Nevado del Ruiz to prove______.A.the failure to keep volcanic dangers from happeningB.the importance of preparing for a volcanic eruptionC.the bravery of the people in Armero TownD.the uncertainty of volcano’s damageDI was born and raised in Minnesota,the USA,but us an adult I have mostly lived in Europe and Africa.I teach cross-cultural management at the International Business School near Paris.For the last 15 years,I’ve studied how people in different parts of the world build trust,communicate,and make decisions especially in the workplace.While traveling in Tokyo recently with Japanese colleague,I gave a short talk to a group of 20 managers.At the end,I asked whether there were any questions or comments.No hands went up,so I went to sit down.My colleague whispered to me,“I think there actually were some comments,Erin.Do you mind if I try?”I agreed,but I guessed it a waste of breath.He asked the group again,“Any comments or questions?”Still,no one raised a hand,but this time he looked very carefully at each person in the silent audience.Gesturing to one of them,he said,“Do you have something to add?”To my amazement,she responded “Yes,thank you.” and asked me a very interesting question.My colleague repeated this several times,looking directly at the audience and asking for more questions or comments.After the session,I asked my colleague,“How do you know that those people had questions?”He hesitated,not sure how to explain it,and then said,“It has to do with how bright their eyes are.”He continued,“In Japan,we don’t make as much direct eye contact as you do in the West.So when you asked if there were any comments,most people were not looking directly at you.But a few people in the group were looking right at you,and their eyes were bright.That indicates that they would be happy to have you call on them.”I thought to myself I would never have learned from my upbringing in Minnesota.Since then,I try to focus on understanding behavior in other cultures I encounter,and keep finding the bright eyes in the room.12.What can we conclude from the first paragraph?A.Life in Minnesota has made the author worn out.B.The author enjoys traveling around the world.C.Different cultures are kind of familiar to the author.D.The author may start his own business in the future.13.Hearing the colleague whispering,the author______.A.went back to his seat and got seatedB.knew his colleague had some questionsC.owed a big debt of gratitude to his colleagueD.thought his colleague would get nowhere14.Where does the author’s colleague probably come from?A.Japan.B.America.C.Africa.D.France15.Which is the proper title for the passage?A.Focusing on Behavior in Cultures.B.Looking at Another Culture in the Eye.C.Sharing Different Cultures in Tokyo.D.Admiring the Beauty in the Eye.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。

高三第二学期英语5月周测卷（含答案)II. Grammar and VocabularySection A（16%）Directions: After reading the passages below, fill in the blanks to make the passages coherent and grammatically correct. For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word; for the other blanks, use one word that best fits each blank.(A)Ballet is a demanding art. Ballet dancers (25) __________ (train) to move their bodies in unnatural ways and if they are good, they make it look natural. They manage to keep a perfect balance (26) __________ they spin around and round without becoming horribly dizzy and falling down.The history of ballet goes back about 600 years to the Renaissance in Europe. Originally dancers would entertain audiences in the pauses between opera scenes. In 1581, the Ballet Comique de la Reine was performed in France and is usually considered to be the first Ballet. In 1661, King Louis XIV of France founded the Royal Academy of Dancing to train dancers to perform for his court. Soon other companies (27) __________ (found) in other countries; The Italian also became well known (28) __________ their style of ballet. In the early 1800s，more women began performing in ballets. France was still the capital of the ballet world, but soon dancers (29) __________ (graduate) from ballet school spread out to other countries, most notably Russia, which soon became large player on the world stage of ballet.Ballet (30) __________ (change) through the years as the needs and wants of choreographers and audience has changed. You can still see the roots of the dancing itself when (31) __________ (watch) a ballet, but those who watched what was considered the first ballet in 1581 probably would not recognize (32) __________ it has evolved into today.（B）Have you ever regretted doing something you shouldn't have done or something you didn't do which you should have? At one time or another we probably all have. There's no point in getting depressed about it now-it's no use (33) __________ (cry) over spilt milk. However, there may be some gain in thinking about exactly (34) __________ happened and why, so we might be able to draw some conclusions for the future.One thing we all do now and again is to lose our temper with a friend or close relative. The old thing is that we more often display great anger towards someone we are fond (35) __________ than towards strangers. The explanation may be that we see friends and relatives as a kind of safety net, (36) __________ opportunity to let off a bit of steam in a safe environment, while the consequences of insulting a stranger could be far (37) __________ (serious). Being honest is usually thought of as a virtue and undoubtedly this is the case. On the other hand, we have all experienced occasions (38) __________ we have spoken out our minds to someone, telling them exactly what we feel, and then (39) __________ (find) ourselves filled with feelings of guilt. Perhaps we (40) __________ have kept our mouths shut?Section BDirections: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can onlyWhen it first appeared fifty years ago, TV was expected to make extraordinary contributions to education and culture. Radio, of course, could already reach almost everyone in developed countries, __41__ entertainment and news as well as some educational programs. Everybody in a particular area was able to listen to the same program at the same time, and this __42__ people’s sense of community. It also brought about the wider use of a standard form of the language. TV, it was thought, would have all these __43__ results, but to a much greater degree, since viewers would not only hear but also see what was happening.There is no doubt that these expectations have to a great extent been __44__. People are better __45__ than ever before of events in the furthest corners of the earth, and even beyond. TV has brought increased comfort to people unable to leave their beds, to the lonely and to the old. It is suggested that it may have strengthened family__46__, as families stay at home to watch their favorite programs. Nevertheless, in a number of ways the effects of TV have been a source of disappointment and even of __47__ to those who had expected so much of it.The main problem has been its effects on kids. Some American scientists claim that in the United States TV has produced a generation who have become __48__ to TV. Others say that the fact that an average American teenager sees about 15,000 deaths on TV before he or she becomes an adult has led to increased violence in real life. The violence seen on TV, they believe, is __49__ dangerous because the harm it does to viewers is not always immediately obvious. Similarly, teachers complain that children have less interest in reading and their reading ability has declined, because watching so much TV __50__ children from using their own imaginations.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.Black holes act like huge drains in the universe. The very __51__ of black holes confuses our common notions of matter, time and space. The theory that black holes can, and probably do, exist in space doesn’t only __52__ scientists and astronomers. For if the theory is valid, we must question all our basic physical laws and, indeed, our “normal”experience of the __53__ world around us.What is the black hole? Well, it’s __54__ to answer this question, since the terms we would normally use to describe a scientific phenomenon are __55__ here. Astronomers and scientists think that a black hole is a region of space (not a thing) into which matter has fallen and from which nothing can __56__ -- not even light. So we can’t see a black hole. A black hole has a strong gravitational pull and yet it has no matter. It is only space. How can this happen?The __57__ is that some stars explode when their density increases to a particular point; they“collapse”and sometimes a supernova occurs. From earth, a supernova looks like a very bright light in the sky which shines even in the daytime. Supernovae were reported by astronomers in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. The collapse of a star may produce a star whose __58__ is so dense that it continually shrinks by the force of its own gravity. But if the star is very large (much bigger than our sun), this process of shrinking may be so intense that a black hole __59__. Imagine the earth reduced to the size of a marble, but still having the same mass and s stronger gravitational pull, and you have some idea of the force of a black hole. Any matter near the black hole is sucked in. It is impossible to say what happens inside a black hole.But in theory, matter must behave very differently inside the hole. __60__, if a man fell into a black hole, he would think he must reach the center of it very quickly. However, an onlooker at the area around the hole would think that the man never reached the center __61__. Our space and time laws don’t seem to __62__ objects in the area of a black hole. Einstein’s relativity theory is the only one which can explain such phenomena. Einstein __63__ that matter and energy are interchangeable, so that there is no “absolute”time and space. It is interesting that Einstein’s theory provided a basis for the idea of black holes before astronomers started to find some evidence for their __64__. It is only recently that astronomers have begun specific research into black holes.The story of black holes is just beginning. But the theory of black holes in space is __65__ by many serious scientists and astronomers. They show us a world which operates in a totally different way from our own and they question our most basic experience of space and time.51 A. conclusion B. consideration C. concept D. conscience52 A. include B. contain C. involve D. concern53 A. mental B. physical C. spiritual D. typical54 A. difficult B. easy C. vague D. deliberate5 5A. understandable B. enough C. accurate D. inadequate56 A. appear B. grow C. escape D. hide57 A. message B.

ProposedSection BDirections: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.（A）A new study confirms what most people already know: American women are still far behind American men in taking top leadership jobs in business and politics.The Pew Research Center in Washington, DC produced the study. Pew researchers found that most Americans believe women have the right qualities to be leaders. But they say women may still not be hired into leadership positions. "On the one hand, the public thinks that women are just as qualified as men to be in top leadership positions, in business and in government, on the other hand the public feels it is easier for men to get those jobs, and the public is also that things are going to change in the future, particularly on the business front.”Parker directs social trends at the Pew Research Center. She says the new study found that Americans think men and women have the same intelligence and ability to create new things. But Americans think women and men have some different abilities. For instance, they believe women are especially good at finding compromises. In other words, women can find ways for people to agree, or at least accept solutions. The study also found Americans see women as more compassionate and organized leaders than men.Americans also believe women are better leaders for social issues, such as education and health care. But Americans see men as better leaders on national defense and security. In the business world, Americans say women still have challenges at the top.66.

He was a determined person and wouldn’t change regardless of what otherssay to him.C. He was once trying to please others and the audience by making music which was not hisown style.D. He was not successful until music began to flow and people began to listen.(C)When you think of the tremendous technological progress we have made, it’s amazing how little we have developed in other respects. We may speak contemptuously(轻蔑地) of the poor old Romans because they mistook the slaughter(残杀) in their arenas(竞技场) for entertainment. We may forgive them easily because they lived 2000 years ago and obviously knew no better.But are our feelings of superiority really justified? Are we any less blood-thirsty? Why do boxing matches, for instance, attract such universal interest? Don’t the spectators who attend them hope they will see some violence?Human beings remains as bloodthirsty as ever they were. The only difference between ourselves and the Romans is that while they were honest enough to admit that they enjoyed watching hungry lions tearing people apart and eating them alive, we find all sorts of excuses to defend sports which should have been banned for long, sports which are quite as cruel as such as boxing.It really is incredible that in this day and age we should still allow hunting or bull-fighting, that we should be prepared to sit back and watch two men batter each other to pulp in a boxing ring, that we should be unmoved by the sight of one or a number of racing cars crashing and bursting into flames.Let us not deceive ourselves. Any talk of ‘the sporting spirit’ is sheer hypocrisy. People take part in violent sports just because of the high rewards they bring. Spectators are willing to pay vast sums of money to see violence. A world heavyweight championship match, for instance, is front page news. Millions of people are disappointed if a big fight is over in two rounds instead of fifteen.Why should we ban violent sports if people enjoy them so much? You may well ask. The answer is simple: they are uncivilized.For centuries man has been trying to improve himself spiritually and emotionally – but with little success. But at least we no longer say madmen in cages, or public floggings(鞭打) which were common in the past. Prisons are no longer the merciless places they used to be. Social welfare systems are in operation in many parts of the world. These changes have come about not because human beings have suddenly improved, but because positive steps were taken to change the law. The law is the biggest instrument of social change that we have. If we banned dangerous and violent sports, we would be moving one step further to improving mankind. We would recognize that violence is degrading and unworthy of human beings.74. That the author mentions the old RomansA. to indicate Romans were crueler than human beings nowadays.B. to show Rome was the origin of cruel and dangerous sports.C. to indicate human beings today are also bloodthirsty.D. to show human beings in the past know nothing better.75.The underlined word “hypocrisy” probably means__________.A. becoming greedy.B. hoping to achieve successC. having a great ambitionD. Pretending to be kind.76.In the last paragraph, the author mentions some progress human beings have achieved to show__________A. Man is able to realize his won mistakes and make efforts to correct them.B. Changes in law can have a positive effect in history.C. Human beings have realized that violence is uncivilized and should be avoided.D. Human beings never stop to improve themselves in any field.Section CBill Gates and Buffet --- the world’s two richest men, held a cha rity banquet in Beijing. Undoubtedly the aim is to persuade charitable donations in China. China emerge a large number of billionaires with the high economic development. But to everyone’s surprise, few rich men promised to donate, and their meanness cause s a scolding voice of where the rich’s conscience go.China’s rich don’t want to spend money on charity, why? Are they mean and not willing to spend money on it? No. The money they own cannot be used up for several lifetimes, so a little money for use of charity does not mean any loss of their life. Actually their way of thinking is different from that of general people. For them what they lack in not money, but the safety of property and social reputation. If the money donation can earn property security and social reputation, it is very cost-effective for them.That’s just the problem. In China, the rich who do charity cannot bring property security and social reputation. On the contrary, the wealth exposure produces more insecurity and worse reputation. T hat is why the rich do not want to pay for charity. China’s environment is very different from that of the United States where wealth is a symbol of individual success and rich is a role model. While in China the rich are scolded and regarded as a model of exploitation.The possession of wealth will bring bad reputation of exploiter and lack of property security. Exposing one’s rich in such a society is the most stupid act. So the rich’s solution is to quietly transfer the property to a safe place in foreign countries, rather than to do donations to charities.I think charity comes from the ordinary people rather than the rich. The resolution is the way now advocated by Jet Li’s One Foundation --- one yuan per person per month. I think this meets China’s co nditions and has a good development prospect.A more fundamental question is that whether government should do charity. I do not think so. Government is different from civil organizations, its most important feature is that it is backed with force and can use coercive measures to achieve a particular goal. Charity does not require any mandatory power but enthusiasm and carefulness. This is precisely what the government lacks. Therefore, government around the world do not do charity; charity is left to common people.（Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TWELVE WORDS.）78.Why don’t the rich in China want to donate money?79.In the USA, wealth means ____________________________.80.How do the rich in China deal with their money?81. In the author’s opinion, government do not do charity in that ___________________________________________.I．Translation1. 他警告我不要卷入那件亊情里去。

Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.A baby born in west today will more likely than not live to be 105, write Lynda Gratton and Andrew Scott of London Business School in their book, The 100-Year Life. That may sound like science fiction. 1 , it’s only cautiously optimistic.If turning 100 becomes normal, then the authors predict “a fundamental redesign of life”. We currently live “t he three-stage life”: education, career, then retirement.T he book 2 thatif today’s children want to retire on livable pensions, they will need to work until about age 80. That would be a 3 to the past: in 1880, nearly half of 80-year-old Americans did some kind of work.But few people will be able to bear the 4 and tedium of a 55-year career in a single sector. Anyway, technological changes would make their education obsolete long before they reached 80. The new life-path will 5 have more than three stages.Two new life-stages appeared in the past century: teenagers and retirees. Now another stage is 6, say Gratton and Scott: the years from 18 to 30, which people increasingly spend 7 from education to full-time work. Of course, many of today’s young have no choice: they simply cannot find good jobs. But the 18-to-30s have also been 8 to understand the gift of extrayears, say the authors. Many young people are now consciously searching and experimenting,9how they want to spend the next seven or so decades.The authors predict that more will do two degrees: first a general undergraduate course, which teaches thinking skills with lifelong value, and then a more 10 vocational degree that teaches a specific sector’s current needs. After studying, the young will spend time travelling, exploring different sectors, and11 a “posse” of friends and acquaintances who can sustain them at work and outside for 70 years.Future careers will contain many transformations. People will have to make more 12 : next year, should you work hard in your job, return to education, or transition to an entirely new sector? There will be time to achieve 13 in multiple domains. No longer will women be 14 careers because they took five or 10 years out to raise kids. That will still leave them 50-plus working years.And people will change their use of leisure. When you could expect a 40-year career followed by fat state or corporate pensions, you could spend your free time chilling and buying stuff. But the 100-year life15 more saving.

Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.AYoung people are losing faith in an elitist education system. “If you don’t have the ability then blame your parents,” wrote Jung Yoo-ra on social media in 2014, after being accepted into a famous university. Her mother, it turns out, had gone to great lengths to secure a spot for her, persuading Ehwa Women’s University to alter its admissions policy in a manner tailor-made for Ms. Jung.Last month a court ruled that the nine people involved in this deception had fundamentally shaken the “values of fairness of our society”. Above all, the “feelings of emptiness and betrayal they caused in hardworking students” could not be excused.University was once seen as a source of social mobility in South Korea. But so important is the right degree to a student’s prospects in life that rich families began spending heavily on coaching to improve their children’s chances, leaving poorer families behind.By 2007 over three-quarters of students were receiving some form of private tuition, maximizing the three necessities to win a place at a good university: “father’s wealth, mother’s information, child’s diligence”.Many South Koreans believe that the rich and influential do not just spend more on education, they also manipulate the system, as Ms. Jung’s mother, a close friend of the previous president, did so spectacularly.According to the Pew Research Centre, a think-tank, only a fifth of those aged 18-33 believe that working hard brings success.An ever-growing dictionary of slang proves the perception: people speak of using “back” (backing, or connections) to get jobs; when Ms. Jung refused to return to South Korea to face charges rela ted to her university admission, the local press described it as a “gold-spoon escape”.1.It can be inferred from the article that JungA.was admitted into the university without the slightest effort.B.believed children's prospect was determined by their parents' capability.C.was spared a legal punishment because of her connection.D.held a strong belief in social mobility in Korea.2.The feeling of betrayal and emptiness comes fromA.Ms. Jung’s ignorance in the university admissionB.their lack of resources to support their childrenC.the decline in the elite education systemD.the loss of education equality and social mobility opportunity3.Why do only a few people stick to the belief that success comes from hard work?A.The purse of their parents is a determining factor in success.B.They feel inferior to their rich peers.C.Rich people take great pains in the educating their childrenD.The good-spoon escape has shaken their value.BSure, your family and friends may think you've lost your marbles when you announce plans for a midlife career change, but take heart. There are a number of considerations that go into a successful career change.1.Making a rash decisionBefore changing occupations, you should do a deep dive to assess why you want to leave your current one. Ask yourself why you're unhappy—and answer honestly. You may simply be having a bad week or a bad month—or you may just hate your boss, not your industry. "We all go through phases of unhappiness with our jobs," says Randy Block, an executive coach and staffing consultant. "You should be running toward something, not running away from something."2.Choosing a new career based on salaryYou obviously need to be financially strategic when choosing your next career, but don't base your decision solely on earning potential. "If you take a high-paying job that doesn't match your interests, values, or strengths, you're not going to be happy," says Holly Genser. Maybe at first, but the novelty will likely wear off sooner than later.3.Not researching the job market in your next fieldNot sure what field you want to go into? Research industries and positions to find a good match for your skills and career goals, Genser says. Otherwise, you're throwing darts in the dark.4.Quitting without having another job lined upResearch shows it's easier to get a job offer when you're still employed, which makes sense since gaps on a resume might make a hiring manager think twice about calling you in for an interview. Consequently, it's in your best interest to stay at your current job until you have your next one set up.1.Which of the following is correct according to the passage?A.If you can't get along well with your boss, it's better to change your job.B.Show disregard to salary when evaluating the job optionsC.You may stick to the current job until a new opportunity shows up.D -Going back to the school may increase the job prospect.2.What does the underli ned word “throw darts in the dark” mean?(para 4 line 2)A, "make an attempt with little chance of success.B.waste your skills and experience.C.overshadow others in the competition.D.-lose yourself in the interview3.Which of the following might be the guiding principle of the writer in job-hopping?A.Enjoy the pleasure of life here and now.B.Success is favored by the people who are fully preparedC.Greed is the most real poverty, satisfaction the most real wealth.D.Nurture is above nature.4.Where does the passage probably come from?A. Career Orientation MagazineB. Tourism Leaflet.C. Family Counselling Brochure D: Graduation Advisory LectureCGoogle has been hit with a class-action lawsuit alleging discrimination against conservative- minded white men, in a legal case that threatens a fresh round of the culture wars that engulfed the internet company last summer.The suit has been brought by James Dam ore, an engineer who was sacked in August after his questioning of Google policies to increase the hiring of women and minorities caused an outcry inside the company. It also names a second engineer, David Demanding, who has also claimed wrongful termination after leaving the company in 2016. The company did not immediately have a response to the suit.Since leaving Google, Mr Dam ore has spoken out widely against the company, attacking it for what he calls “group think” over gender and other diversity issues. His case became a rallying point for conservatives last year at a time when cultural battles stirred by President Donald Trump were intensifying nationally.The class action lawsuit, filed in superior court in California on Monday, was brought on behalf of all employees whom Google is alleged to have discriminated against either because of “their perceived conservative political views . . . their male gender . . . [or] their Caucasian race”.The lawsuit claims that there is “open hostility for conservative thought” at the company and that people who diverge from the mainstream are singled out for expressing views on subjects such as diversity hiring policies, bias sensitivity and social justice.Employees are “distracted, belittled and punished for their heterodox political views, and for the added sin of their birth circumstances of being Caucasians and/or males”, the suit alleges. It accuses Google of being an “ideological echo chamber” that is hostile to some workers, and of maintaining illegal hiring quotas for women and minorities. The suit will move forward only if a judge certifies it as a valid action on behalf of an entire class of workers.Mr Dam ore was dismissed by Sundae Archaic, Google’s chief executive, after writing an internal memo questioning the company’s di versity policies. His paper was widely circulated and aroused a backlash inside Google. But his treatment brought an outcry from conservatives who saw Mr Pharisaic reaction as an attack on open discussion of an important social issue.Among the allegations, the lawsuit claims that “the presence of Caucasians and males wasmocked with ‘boos’ during company-wide weekly meetings” at Google.1.James Damore was fired by Google on the grounds thatA.he embraced the vision that women were underemployed in GoogleB.he found it hard to adapt himself to the corporate culture of GoogleC.Google is intolerable of different viewpoints of employees on Sex/puffD.he expressed the sexist attitude towards women’s professional fulfillment2.Which of the f ollowing CAN’T explain Google’s being adder fire by JamesDamore?A.The code of conduct and basic values of Google does harm to some employees.B.Google attached no importance to female fulfillment.C.Google weeded out discrimination rather than take a permissive approach.D.white people were underrated and blamed for their so-called ethnic politicalOpinions.3.What does the underlined phrase probably mean?A. resistance B sympathy C. affectation. D indifference4.The passage is chiefly concerned withA.arguing against a reversed discrimination from a dismissed Google employeeB.warning the application of Google value affecting the employees negativelyC.advocating the same treatment in workplaceD.exploring the legal remedies for inequality among workersSection CDirections: complete the following passage by using the sentence given below. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.A.Such flowery writing would deserve to be pulled out by the roots.B.They keep a continuous check on advertising.C.They misrepresent the products they are advertising.D.What does the ASA do to advertisers who deceive the p ublic?E.What makes an advertisement misleading?F.For this to be believable, the ASA h as to be totally independent of the business.The Advertising Standards Authority: An Advertising Watchdog Do adventurists sometimes distort the truth? The short answer is yes, some do. Nearly all of them play fair with the people they are addressed to. But a handful do not.1 The function of the Advertising Standard Authority (ASA)is to make sure these ads are found and stopped. 2If a physical training course had turn a 45-kilogram weakling into a strong man, the fact could be advertised because it can be proved. But a promise to build ‘you’ into a 95-kilogram he-man would be misleading because the promise could not always be kept.‘Make you look younger’ might be a reasonable claim for a cosmetic. But promising to ‘take years off your life’ would be an counterclaim similar to a promise of eternal youth.A garden center’s claim that its seedlings would produce ‘a bright show of colour in just a few days’ might be quite contrary to the reality.3Why it’s a two-way process?Because of the large amount of advertisements, the ASA cannot watch over every advertiser all the time. So the public is encouraged to help by reporting about advertisements they ought not to have appeared. Last year 7500 people wrote to ASA.Whose interests does the ASA really reflect?The Advertising Standards Authority was not created by law and was no legal powers, so not unnaturally some people are skeptical about its effectiveness. In fact the ASA was set up by the advertising business to make sure the system of self-control worked in the public’s interest.4 Neither the chairman nor the majority of the ASA council members is allowed to have anything to do with advertising. Thought the ASA uses influence over the ASA decisions.Ⅳ. Summary Writing (10%)Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize in no more than 60 words the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage and how it is illustrated. Use your own words as far as possible.What keeps us healthy and happy as we go through life? If you were going to invest now in your future best self, where would you put your time and your energy?The Harvard Study of Adult Developmentmay be the longest study of adult life that's ever been done. After 75 years of study, we’ve learned three big lessons about relationships.The first is that social connections are really good for us, and that loneliness kills. It turns out that people who are more socially connected to family, to friends, to community, are happier, they're physically healthier, and they live longer than people who are less well connected. And the experience of loneliness turns out to be harmful. People who are more isolated than they want to be from others find that they are less happy, their health declines earlier in midlife, their brain functioning declines sooner and they live shorter lives than people who are not lonely.And we know that you can be lonely in a crowd and you can be lonely in a marriage, so the second big lesson that we learned is that it's not just the number of friends you have, and it's not whether or not you're in a committed relationship, but it's the quality of your close relationships that matters. It turns out that living in the midst of conflict is really bad for our health. High-conflict marriages, for example, without much affection, turn out to be very bad for our health, perhaps worse than getting divorced. And living in the midst of good, warm relationships is protective.And the third big lesson that we learned about relationships and our health is that good relationships don't just protect our bodies, they protect our brains. It turns out that being in a securely attached relationship to another person in your 80s is protective, that the people who are in relationships where they really feel they can count on the other person in times of need, those people's memories stay sharper longer. And the people in relationships where they feel they really can't count on the other one, those are the people who experience earlier memory decline. And those good relationships, they don't have to be smooth all the time. Some of our octogenarian couples could bicker with each other day in and day out, but as long as they felt that they could really count on the other when the going got tough, those arguments didn't take a toll on their memories.So the clearest message that we get from this 75-year study is this: Good relationships keep us happier and healthier.Ⅴ.

Many people believed that coffee 6 cure all kinds of illnesses, from the common cold to more serious diseases.As a result, everyone, including children, drank coffee 7 .

A smart city is one that uses technology to collect data in real-time to manage resources and assets within that city. These assets include water supply, public transportation, and even people. By being able to gather and analyze data in real-time, cities can become more efficient, safer and improve the quality of life for their residents. For example, San Francisco uses IoT (Internet of Things) technology to monitor the activity of vehicles, bicycles and pedestrians at intersections. The technology provides real-time data to the city’s transportation management center, which can use it to develop street and crosswalk plans that improve safety.Another city using IoT technology is Singapore, which has developed a system that monitors water quality in its reservoirs. The technology enables the city to identify pollution at its source, take swift action, and prevent contamination of its water supply.Smart cities are not without their challenges. Security is a major concern with hackers having the potential to access and exploit sensitive data. Furthermore, there is a risk of discrimination as not all residents may have equal access to the technology that makes smart cities possible.1. What is the main idea of this passage?A. The definition and benefits of smart cities.B. The challenges of IoT technology.C. The importance of improving safety in cities.D. The potential for inequality in smart cities.2. What is one example of IoT technology being used in smart cities?A. Monitoring water quality in reservoirsB. Developing safety plans for crosswalksC. Using data to improve public transportationD. Collecting data to improve energy efficiency in buildings.3. Why might some people be concerned about smart cities?A. They may cause pollution.B. They may promote inequality.C. They may be too expensive to maintain.D. They may require too much data analysis.Passage 2：Some people have a lot of difficulty sleeping. There are many potential reasons for this, and a lot of advice on how tocure it. Some people say that taking a hot bath before bedcan help. Others suggest reading a book or drinking some tea. But perhaps one of the most effective ways to improve sleepis to reduce the amount of blue light exposure in the evening. Blue light is a wavelength of light that can inhibit the production of melatonin, a hormone that helps us sleep. This type of light is emitted from our electronic devices, such as smartphones, computers, and televisions, and it can disruptour internal clock and make us feel more awake.One way to reduce blue light exposure is to avoid using electronics in the hour before bedtime. Another way is to use a blue light filter. There are a variety of filters available online that can be placed over screens to reduce blue light exposure.1. What is one potential cause of difficulty sleeping?A. Reading before bedB. Drinking tea before bedC. Exposure to blue lightD. Inadequate exercise2. What is the main effect of blue light on the body?A. It helps the body produce melatonin.B. It can stimulate the body's internal clock.C. It can help us stay awake and alert.D. It can cause headaches and migraines.3. What is one way to reduce blue light exposure?A. Do not use electronics in the hour before bedtime.B. Read a book before bed instead of using electronics.C. Take a hot bath before bed to relax.D. Look out the window for 30 minutes before sleeping.阅读理解部分答案：Passage 1: 1.A 2.B 3.BPassage 2: 1.C 2.B 3.A题型：作文高三英语写作训练：世界读书日假定你是某中学生李华，请你写一封信给你的笔友Matt，邀请他一起参加学校于3月29日举行的世界读书日活动。

高中英语真题：实验高中2016届高三2月13日周测考试试题.doc一、阅读理解(共4题)1.ReviewsCultual Breaks by Brian AldissReviewed by Paul KincaidBrian Aldiss is an amazing and frustrating writer. When he is on song, his style is forceful, disturbing and delectable. But he is a restless writer. He came into his own in the enthusiastic and experimental atmosphere of the New Wave, and he has been driven to try the new and the different ever since. That he is still experimenting now, 50 years after his first appearance, is a measure of a man who has never been prepared to settle back on his laurels.The Secrets of Jin-Shei by Alma AlexanderReviewed by Donna McMahonWith so many fantasy novels using European-derived settings and mythology, ancient China makes a refreshing change. The landscape is tempting and yet familiar enough to feel very real, and the author uses magic sparingly, in ways appropriate to her society. This and the complex detail put into the backdrop makes the novel feel very much like historical fiction.Straken by T erry BrooksReviews by Nathan BrazilThe third novel in the High Druid of Shannara series jumps straight back into the story where it left off. It continues the quest of unlikely hero Penderrin Ohmsford. Now equipped with the means to break in – and back out- of the Forbidding, where his aunt, the overthrown Ard Phys of Druids, is stranded, Pen must first get back to Paranor. His rescue attempt can only begin from within the chamber where Grianne Ohmsford disappeared. Unfortunately, this will deliver him straight into the hands of those responsible for his aunt’s disappearance.21.The reviewer admires Brian Aldiss’ ability to ___________.A. write so many novelsB. continue to be inventive in his writingC. write disturbing plotsD. have a writing career spanning over four decades22. Why does the setting of Jin-Shei appeal to the reviewer?A. It is a good science of fiction setting.B. It is mysterious.C. It is a less common choice of setting.D. It is very magical.23. Terry Brook’s novel continues a series on ___________.A. the adventures of an unsuspecting hero and his attempts to rescue his auntB. a quest about the High Druid of Shannara in a secret chamber in ParanorC. the disappearance of a druid which foils the plans of the enemiesD. liberating a stranded aunt who is key to the knowledge of theForbidding2.More than nine out of 10 young people expose themselves to the blue light from smartphones before bed, causing problems with sleep. A new survey also shows more than 28 million people in the UK regularly get no more than seven hours sleep a night. Prof Richard Wiseman, who commissioned the YouGov poll described the findings as "extremely worrying". Of the 2,149 adults questioned, 78% said they used electronicdevices before going to bed. This rose to 91% among the 18 to 24-year-olds questioned in the survey.Getting less than seven hours sleep a night is below the recommended guidelines, and is associated with a range of problems, including an increased risk of weight gain, heart attacks, diabetes and cancer. "The blue light from these devices suppresses（压制）the production of the sleep-inducing hormone melatonin, so it's important to avoid them before bed time," said Prof Richard Wiseman, from the University of Hertfordshire.Everyone needs different amounts of sleep, but adults are generally thought to require a minimum of seven to eight hours a night. Teenagers are recommended to get more, about nine hours. The proportion（比例）of people thought to be getting too little sleep had risen by a fifth since a "bedroom poll" conducted last year by the National Sleep Foundation.Last week revealed opticians were warning that overuse of smartphones may be increasing people's risk of eye damage. Optician Andy Hepworth said: "Blue violet light is potentially harmful to the back of your eyes. "So over a long period of time it can damage your eyes. When you're looking at a smart phone, the light peaking out of that is blue violet. The news came as a survey of 2,000 people suggests under-25s check their phones 32 times a day.24. The purpose of the passage is to ________________________.A. stress that people don’t use smartphone s.B. remind people of enough sleep.C. ask people not sleep too much.D. tell people not to use smartphones before bed25. Which of the following statements is TURE according to the passage?A. According to a new survey, more than 28 million people in the UK get more than seven hours sleep a night.B. More than 90% young people expose themselves to the blue light from smart phones before bed.C. Of the 2,149 adults questioned, 91% said they used electronic devices before going to bed.D. The news came as a survey of 2,000 people suggests under-25s check their phones 30 times a day.26. According to what Andy Hepworth said, overuse of smartphones may be increasing people's risk of __________.A. weight gainB. cancerC. eye damageD. heart attacks27. Teenagers are generally thought to get sleep of _________ a night.A .about 9 hours B. 7-8 hours C. less than 7 hours D. more than 10 hours3.Speed-reading is a necessary skill in the Internet age．We skim over articles, e-mails and WeChat to try to grasp key words and the essential meaning of a certain text．Surrounded with information from our electronic devices, it would be impossible to cope if we read word by word, line by line．But a new trend calls on people to unplug and enjoy reading slowly, listing benefits beyond the intelligent stimulation．A recent story from The Wall Street Journal reported on a book club in Wellington, New Zealand, where members meet in a cafe and turn off their smartphones．They sink into cozy chairs and read in silence for an hour．Unlike traditional book clubs, the point of the slow reading club isn't exchanging ideas about a certain book, but to get away from electronic devices and read in a quiet, relaxed environment．According to the Journal, the Wellington book club is just one example of a movement started by book lovers who miss the old-fashioned way of reading before the Internet and smartphones．Slow readers, such as The Atlantic's Maura Kelly, say a regular reading habit sharpens the mind, improves concentration, reduces stress levels and deepens the ability to sympathize．Another study published last year in Science showed that reading novels helps people understand other's mental states and beliefs, a fundamental skill in building relationships．Yet technology has made us less attentive readers．Screens have changed our reading patterns from the straight and information．left-to-right sequence to a wild skimming and skipping pattern as we hunt for important words and information. Reading text punctuated with links leads to weaker comprehension than reading plain text. The Internet may have made us stupider, says Patrick Kingsley from The Guardian．Because of the Internet, he says, we have become very good at collecting a wide range of interesting news, but we are also gradually forgetting how to sit back, reflect, and relate all these facts to each other．Slow reading means a return to an uninterrupted, straight pattern, in a quiet environment free of distractions. Aim for 30 minutes a day, advises Kelly from The Atlantic．“You can squeeze in that half hour p retty easily if only during your free moments, you pick up a meaningful work of literature,” Kelly said．“Reach for your e-reader, if you like．Kindles make books like War and Peace less heavy, not less substantive, and also ensure you'll never lose your place．”28．The book club in Wellington mentioned in Paragraph 2 shows____________．A．the new trend of slow reading B．the decline ofelectronic devicesC．the importance of exchanging ideas D．the increasing number of club readers29．According to Patrick Kingsley, people are stupider partly because of_____________．A．a non-stop reading pattern B．the straight, left-to-right screenC．a wide range of interesting news D．the lack of reflection 30．According to the passage, slow reading___________．A．contributes to understanding among peopleB．promotes the current technology advancesC．provides people with a quiet environmentD．cures the memory loss of elderly people31．What's the best title for the passage?A．Benefit of Reading Clubs．B．Return of Slow Reading．C．Reading of the Internet Age．D．Influence of Speed Reading．4.If you could travel in time, where would you go? Perhaps you would watch an original performance of a Shakespeare’s play in Elizabethan England? What about hanging out with Laozi in the Spring and Autumn Period? Or maybe you’d voyage far ahead of the present day to see what the future holds.The possibility of time travel is indeed appealing. Stories exploring the subject have been around for hundreds of years. Perhaps the best known example is science fiction novel The Time Machine, which was written by H.G.Wells and published in 1895 for the first time. It was adapted into at least two feature films of the same name, as well as two television versions, and a large number of comic book adaptations. It is generally credited with the popularization of the concept of time travel using a vehicle that allows an operator to travel purposefully and selectively. The term “time machine”, coined by Wells, is now universally used to refer to a vehicle transportingpeople into the far future.But could time travel actually be possible? Some scientists say yes, in theory. They propose using cracks in time and space called “wormholes”, which could be used as shortcuts to other periods．Einstein's theory of relativity allows time travel in extreme circumstances．And British physicist Stephen Hawking says you could travel into the future with a really fast spaceship—going at nearly the speed of light．Though building such a spaceship would of course be no simple task．Even if you could travel into the past, there is something called the “grandfather paradox”．It asks what would happen if a time traveler were to go back in time and have his own grandfather killed for some reason, and therefore prevent himself from being born．If the time traveler wasn't born, how would he travel back in time?And would you really like to visit the future? In H．G．Wells' book, the main character travels into distant time where he arrives at a beach and is attacked by giant crabs．He then voyages 30 million years into the future where the only living thing is a black object with tentacles（触角）．If that's what's in store, maybe we are better just living in the present day after all．32．The novel The Time Machine mentioned in Paragraph 2 aims to show___________．A．People's interest in time travel B．the special feature of the bookC．the long history of time travel D．the contribution of H．G．Wells33．Einstein's and Hawking's theories_________．A．have similarities in many waysB．push the invention of the first spaceshipC．have proved wrong by some time travelersD．suggest the possibility to invent the time machine34．In Paragraph 4,“grandfather paradox” probably refers to the idea that__________．A．the traveler is prevented from meeting his grandfatherB．the traveler goes back in time to seek for his grandfatherC．the grandfather's death makes the traveler's birth impossibleD．The reunion of the traveler and his grandfather brings happiness35．According to the passage, what is probably the author's attitude towards time travel?A．Unclear B．Skeptical C．Supportive D．Unconcerned．二、阅读填空(共2题)1.Thank you for reading the privacy policy of our website.

It didn’t even cross my mind that he might feel 41 when people whispered about him. So I just let them talk.Then ca me the day when I learned my little brother Martin’s testing for autism (自闭症) came out positive (阳性). I had never thought about him like that. I broke 42 , crying. Everything had just changed. He was no longer a(n) 43 little boy.Over time, I was able to accept his 44 a little more. We had to 45 because Martin needed treatment. So Martin and I both started at a new school. One day, I was standing in the bus line waiting when a “ short ” bus (for the retarded) came and 46 up some kids. The children in the other line started making 47 about the “ retarded ” on that bus and I felt a 48 feeling in my heart. I said quietly that those comments weren’t very nice, 49 no one listened.My family moved again. In the new school I got a 50 to speak up pretty soon. That day, in a band class, my teacher 51 our playing to make some comments, “ …Guys, we’re playing like the kids on the short bus! Come on! ” The entire room was laughing loudly. I felt very 52 . Then, I raised my hand. I wasn’t sure what I was going to say but I wanted to be heard.The whole class 53 down. My mouth opened and this came out: “ I don’t think we should make fun of the short bus, because there are people on that bus who have a lot in common with us and have the same feelings as we do.” I could feel my 54 getting louder. “ So I would 55 it if you didn’t make fun of them.”The room was very quiet and everyone stared at me. My teacher 56 for his words and then started the song again. At the end of the class, everyone was giving me strange looks. But I didn’t 57, because I knewthree things: I had spoken the 58 , I had taught everyone something, and while everyone in the classroom was being a follower, I had 59 to take a different path since I wanted to become a 60 and a role model.41．A．amazed B．hurt C．uncertain D．cold 42．A．off B．in C．down D．away43．A．normal B．noisy C．outstanding D．i mpressive44．A．pain B．interest C．opinion D．illness45．A．change B．move C．quit D．study 46．A．set B．took C．brought D．picked47．A．jokes B．complaints C．choices D．di scoveries48．A．violent B．strange C．confusing D．clear 49．A．because B．if C．but D．so50．A．chance B．position C．topic D．point 51．A．encouraged B．bothered C. enjoyed D．stopped52．A．bad B．embarrassed C．tense D．guilty53．A．sat B．slowed C．quieted D．looked 54．A．pace B．voice C．pulse D．breath55．A．excuse B．appreciate C．stand D ．permit56．A．apologized B．fought C．allowed D．argued57．A．understand B．notice C．return D．care58．A．wisdom B．importance C．matter D ．truth59．A．helped B．decided C．agreed D．hoped 60．A．reporter B．thinker C．leader D．trainer四、短文改错(共1题)1. 假定英语课上老师要求同桌之间交换修改作文，请你修改你同桌写的以下作文。
