AI’d just picked up my four-year-old daughter Norah from preschool when she reminded me to mind the elderly person walking across the parking lot.She continued to explain that she has a soft spot for mature folk,“I like old people best because they walk slow like I do.They all gonna die soon,so I’m gonna love them all up before they are dead.” Sure,it got kinda dark at the end;I had no idea how much she really meant it,but I liked where her heart was.The following day was her birthday.As we picked up the cupcakes at the grocery store,Norah was busy excitedly waving and joyfully proclaiming(宣布),“Hi,old person!It’s my birthday today!” The man was elderly,stone-faced,and ter we knew he was Mr Dan who had been lonely since his beloved wife died.However,before I could shush her for calling him an old person or ask the earth to swallow me whole,he stopped and turned to look at her.His expression softened as he replied,“Well,hello,little lady!And how old are you today?” He wished her a happy birthday,and we went our separate ways.A few minutes later,she asked me to take a picture with the old man for her birthday.Although I wasn’t sure if he’d oblige,I told her we’d certainly ask.When he heard our request,his expression changed from confused to shocked,then to delighted.They posed together;he beamed wordlessly staring at her with twinkling eyes as she kept his hand in hers.We were blocking other shoppers,but they didn’t mind.There was magic happening in the grocery store that day,and we could all feel it.I’d be lying to you if I said I wasn’t a weepy mess at the moment.1.Which of the following words best describes Norah?A.Naughty. B.Thoughtful.C.Rude. D.Curious.答案 B解+析推理判断题。

What is the play by Rajiv Joseph probably about?.A.A type of art.B.A teenager's studio.C.A great teacher.D.A group of animals.2. Who is the director of The Audience?A. Helen Mirren.B. Peter Morgan.C. Dylan Baker.D. Stephen Daldry.3. Which play will you go to if you are interested in American history?A. Animals Out of Paper.B. The Audience.C. Hamilton.D. O n the Twentieth Century.BFor Western designers, China and its rich culture have long been an inspiration for Western creative."It's no secret that China has always been a source(来源)of inspiration for designers," says Amanda Hill, chief creative officer at A+E Networks, a global media company and home to some of the biggest fashion(时尚)shows.Earlier this year, the China Through A Looking Glass exhibition in New York exhibited 140 pieces of China-inspired fashionable clothing alongside Chinese works of art, with the aim of exploring the influence of Chinese aesthetics(美学)on Western fashion and how China has fueled the fashionable imagination for centuries. The exhibition had record attendance, showing that there is huge interest in Chinese influences."China is impossible to overlook," says Hill. "Chinese models are the faces of beauty and fashion campaigns that sell dreams to women all over the world, which means Chinese women are not just consumers of fashion —they are central to its movement. "Of course, only are today's top Western designers being influenced by China-some of the best designers of contemporary fashion are themselves Chinese." Vera Wang, Alexander Wang, Jason Wu are taking on Galiano, Albaz, Marc Jacobs-and beating them hands down in design and sales," adds Hil.For Hill, it is impossible not to talk about China as the leading player when discussing fashion. "The most famous designers are Chinese, so are the models, and so are the consumers," she says. "China is no longer just another market; in many senses it has become the market. If you talk about fashion today, you are talking about China-its influences, its direction, its breathtaking clothes, and how young designers and models are finally acknowledging that in many ways."4.What can we learn about the exhibition in New York?A. It promoted the sales of artworks.B. It attracted a large number of visitors.C. It showed ancient Chinese clothes.D. It aimed to introduce Chinese models.5.What does Hill say about Chinese women?A. They are setting the fashion.B. They start many fashion campaigns.C. They admire super models.D. They do business all over the world.6.What do the underlined words "taking on" in paragraph 4 mean?A. learning fromB. looking down onC. working withD. competing against7.What can be a suitable title for the text?A. Young Models Selling Dreams to the WorldB.A Chinese Art Exhibition Held in New YorkC. Differences Between Eastern and Western AestheticsD. Chinese Culture Fueling International Fashion TrendsCBefore the 1830s,most newspapers were sold through annual subscriptions in America, usually $8 to $10 a year. Today $8 or $10 seems a small amount of money, but at that time these amounts were forbidding to most citizens. Accordingly, newspapers were read almost only by rich people in politics or the trades. In addition, most newspapers had little in them that would appeal to a mass audience. They were dull and visually forbidding. But the revolution that was taking place in the 1830s would change all that.The trend, then, was toward the "penny paper"-a term referring to papers made widely available to the public. It meant any inexpensive newspaper; perhaps more importantly it meant newspapers that could be bought in single copies on the street.This development did not take place overnight. It had been possible(but not easy)to buy single copies of newspapers before 1830,but this usually meant the reader had to go down to the printer's office to purchase a copy. Street sales were almost unknown. However, within a few years, street sales of newspapers would be commonplace in eastern cities. At first the price of single copies was seldom a penny-usually two or three cents was charged-and some of the older well-known papers charged five or six cents. But the phrase "penny paper " caught the public's fancy, and soon there would be papers that did indeed sell for only a penny.This new trend of newspapers for "the man on the street" did not begin well. Some of the early ventures(企业)were immediate failures. Publishers already in business, people who were owners of successful papers, had little desire to change the tradition. It took a few youthful and daring businessmen to get the ball rolling.8.Which of the following best describes newspapers in America before the 1830s?A. Academic.B. Unattractive.C. Inexpensive.D. Confidential.9.What did street sales mean to newspapers?A. They would be priced higher.B. They would disappear from cities.C. They could have more readers.D. They could regain public trust.10.Who were the newspapers of the new trend targeted at?A. Local politicians.B. Common people.C. Young publishers.D. Rich businessmen.11.What can we say about the birth of the penny paper?A. It was a difficult process.B. It was a temporary success.C. It was a robbery of the poor.D. It was a disaster for printers.DMonkeys seem to have a way with numbers.A team of researchers trained three Rhesus monkeys to associate 26 clearly different symbols consisting of numbers and selective letters with 0-25 drops of water or juice as a reward. The researchers then tested how the monkeys combined—or added—the symbols to get the reward.Here's how Harvard Medical School scientist Margaret Livingstone, who led the team, described the experiment: In their cages the monkeys were provided with touch screens. On one part of the screen, a symbol would appear, and on the other side two symbols inside a circle were shown. For example, the number 7 would flash on one side of the screen and the other end would have 9 and 8. If the monkeys touched the left side of the screen they would be rewarded with seven drops of water or juice; if they went for the circle, they would be rewarded with the sum of the numbers—17 in this example.After running hundreds of tests, the researchers noted that the monkeys would go for the higher values more than half the time, indicating that they were performing a calculation, not just memorizing the value of each combination.When the team examined the results of the experiment more closely, they noticed that the monkeys tended to underestimate(低估)a sum compared with a single symbol when the two were close in value—sometimes choosing, for example, a 13 over the sum of 8 and 6. The underestimation was systematic: When adding two numbers, the monkeys always paid attention to the larger of the two, and then added only a fraction(小部分)of the smaller number to it."This indicates that there is a certain way quantity is represented in their brains, "Dr. Livingstone says. “But in this experiment what they're doing is paying more attention to the big number than the little one.”12. What did the researchers do to the monkeys before testing them?A. They fed them.B. They named them.C. They trained them.D. They measured them.13. How did the monkeys get their reward in the experiment?A. By drawing a circle.B. By touching a screen.C. By watching videos.D. By mixing two drinks.14. What did Livingstone's team find about the monkeys?A. They could perform basic addition.B. They could understand simple words.C. They could memorize numbers easily.D. They could hold their attention for long.15. In which section of a newspaper may this text appear?A. Entertainment.B. Health.C. Education.D. Science.第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

practice for the first time.“She’s never played soccer before,” Mrs Benson told the coach.“I’m not sure how she’ll do.”Jenny ran onto the field and joined the other players.Over the next hour,Mrs Benson and the coach watched as Jenny out-ran(跑得比……快) many of the more experienced players.“I knew then that soccer would be Jenny’s sport.” Mrs Benson recalls.And she was right.It may have helped that Jenny had spent much of her time trying to keep up with her three brothers.“I wanted to be just like them,” Jenny says.“My family has inspired me for my entire life.”Jenny has retired from the United States women’s national soccer team.She started out on her professional career in the Philadelphia Charge,a team in the Women’s United Soccer Association(WUSA).Later on,she joined FC Energy V oronezh,and then New Jersey Wildcats.When the WUSA was being formed,league officials watched many college soccer games,looking for players good enough to join the league.They were very interested in Jenny,who played for the University of Nebraska.“Throughout that college season,I knew I was being watched,” Jenny says,“I knew I couldn’t be perfect,so I just tried to be very consistent and have fun.”As a professional,Jenny relied on her focused but fun-loving attitude.“In a game,I try never to put too much pressure on myself.The more I concentrate on having fun,the better I play.” She says.“I have good and bad days,just like everyone else,but I know the sun will always come up after a bad day.So all I have to do is to adjust myself,either to the change of my inner feelings or to the change of circumstances.That helps me get through anything.”24.What can we learn from Jenny’s first soccer practice?A.She was not sure how to play soccer.B.She was gifted in playing soccer.C.She was instructed by the soccer coach.D.She was more experienced than other players.25.Which professional team did she first play for?A.New Jersey Wildcats.B.FC Energy Voronezh.C.The University of Nebraska.D.The Philadelphia Charge.26.Which of the following can best describe Jenny?A.Talented but impatient.B.Confident and considerate.C.Concentrated and adaptable.D.Absorbed but self-centered.27.What does the passage mainly talk about?A.How Jenny developed her soccer career.B.Why Jenny retired from the national team.C.How Jenny’s brothers influenced her career.D.What made Jenny a good soccer player.C(2018·江西新余二模)Rome,Paris and New York are the world’s top fashion cities,all of which have produced some of the top trends,from fashionable skirts to the hottest new shoes.But have you ever wondered about the negative ideas that they have enforced?In April 2016,the Advertising Standards Authority(ASA) in Britain banned an ad from Gucci that featured models dancing around and having fun,because they were all extremely skinny.Banning ads due to the models’ extreme figures isn’t new.The ASA banned an ad in 2015 for the same reason.In France,it has been ruled that models are to provide a doctor’s note providing that they are at a healthy weight.So what is the healthy weight for models?Twenty years ago,the average fashion model weighed 8% less than the average woman.Today,they weigh 23% less.People may think that being at an unhealthy weight will help them gain the benefits that the models do.This provides a standard of beauty,and therefore people who want to achieve those things may attempt to obtain them through unhealthy ways.People may think that they are overweight,due to the images of models’thin figures.They see something wrong with their bodies whether they are overweight or not.This is a key factor in a lowered body image,low self-esteem,depression and possibly even eating disorders.I’m not blaming the fashion industry by any means.It’s not their fault that many people look up to the models and expect to live a life like theirs.I am glad that the ASA is raising its voices when discussing the growing issue of body images in the fashion industry.By banning photos and videos,speaking out against them and pushing for doctors’ notes from the models,it’s pushing for the ideas that the traditional fashion industry’s body image demands should be changed and something more needs to be questioned.28.According to the text,why was one of Gucci’s ads banned?A.Because the models didn’t act according to the rule.B.Because its models are much too thin.C.Because none of its models had a doctor’s note.D.Because its models were dancing in an unhealthy way.29.We can infer from the numbers mentioned in Paragraph 3 that .A.many women on a diet to become modelsB.people don’t know why models weigh lessC.models are becoming thinner with time going byD.the healthy weight for models hasn’t been decided30.What does the fourth paragraph mainly show?A.The changes in the standard of beauty.B.The benefits of becoming thin figures.C.The negative effects of models’ images.D.People’s attitudes towards models’ images.31.What is the author’s tone of writing this passage?A.Objective. B.Hopeful.C.Critical. D.Humorous.DThe effects of climate change set in,coastal cities such as the Italian city of Venice and the American city of New Orlean are slowly sinking.So is Bangkok.Officials in the city and scientists say they do not know how long people will be able to continue living in the Thai capital.Thailand’s military rulers are considering action.The National Reform Council wants the government to form a committee to deal with the warnings that Bangkok could be permanently underwater many years from now.The Saen Canal was built in Bangkok in the late 1830s.In a neighborhood near the waterway,walkways are breaking up.Walls on homes,small businesses and an Islamic center appear to be bending.The area is sinking about two centimeters a year,which is two times the average rate for the rest of Bangkok.“I don’t know what to do” says Vijitri Puangsiri who has lived in the neighborhood for 44 years.Her home needs to be repaired every year because of the sinking ground.The walkway in front of her century-old house where she operates a small restaurant must also be repeatedly repaired.“If you travel on the canal boats,you can see how this is all hollow,” Somsak Kongeeng says,“The buildings to see him are sinking because they were not built on solid foundations.”He joked that if we come back to see him again in 20 years,the water level will be almost as highas his head.But he is also partly serious.That might be only a small overstatement in a city that is,on average,just two meters above sea level.Observers say two reasons for the sinking are a rising sea level and too much pumping of groundwater.Another reason,they say,is the decision by developers to build so many high-rises because they earn quantities of money by doing so.This kind of development worries those who are concerned with the rising water level.32.What do we know from the passage?A.Vijitri Puangsiri’s home needs repairing owing to the broken walkway.B.The Saen canal was a supporting evidence of the sinking ground.C.Somsak Kongeeng simply treats the sinking as a joke.D.Bangkok is not suitable for people to live in any more.33.To slow down the sinking of the city in a practical way,we suggest . A.replacing the loose soil with concreteB.forbidding pumping groundwaterC.repairing their homes every yearD.stopping the rising of sea level34.What is the writer’s purpose of writing the passage?A.To appeal to protect the city of Bangkok.B.To explain the reasons for the sinking.C.To stress the significance of Bangkok.D.To inform us of the situation of Bangkok.35.What is the best title of this passage?A.The Saen Canal—Cause of the SinkingB.A Warning from BangkokC.Bangkok—a Coastal City at RiskD.Reasons for Sinking Buildings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。

ARaised by a single mother in Hartford, Fred Wright struggled with behavioral problems and was forced to move from one school to another. He even reached a point where he felt like he had nothing to live for.“I was walking around with a lot on my shoulders,” he said. “I couldn’t handle it. I didn’t care about life anymore.” But all that started to change when Wright met Patricia Kelly.“I was seven when I met Mrs. Kelly. I wasn’t used to strictness. I wasn’t used to hearing the word ‘no’,” said Wright, now 17.Kelly, a former soldier and an equestrian(骑手), took Wright under her wing and helped him find hope in an unlikely place—on a horse.“Wright was like a round peg that everybody kept trying to squeeze into a square hole, “Kelly said. “He was hurting. He needed a place where he could express himself. The riding field became that place for him.”For the last 30 years, Kelly has helped children stay on the right track through her non-profit, Ebony Horsewomen. The program offers horseback riding lessons and teaches animal science to more than 300 young people a year. By exposing those children to horsemanship, Kelly aims to give them an alternative to the streets and an opportunity to turn their lives around.“We use horse as a hook to create pride, esteem and healing,” said Kelly, 66. “They learn1that t hey have ability. They just have to unlock it.”“When you teach children to ride horses, they learn they are the center of their environment,” said Kelly, “Once they make the connection, they can change what happens in school, at home and in the community.”1. Why did Fred Wright have to move from one school to another?A. Because his mother couldn’t afford the fees.B. Because his parents got divorced.C. Because he behaved badly at school.D. Because he didn’t set a life goal.2. How did Patricia Kelly help Fred Wright?A. She provided him with a home.B. She exposed him to the riding field.C. She found him a better school.D. She encouraged him to learn science.3. What can be inferred from the last two paragraphs?A. Horse riding is helpful to the growth of kids.B. Patricia Kelly is a very successful woman.C. Horses are closely related to the environment.D. It is hard for a kid to learn to ride a horse.BWithout proper planning, tourism can cause problems. For example, too many tourists can crowd public places that are also enjoyed by the people there. If tourists create too much traffic, the people there become angry and unhappy. They begin to dislike tourists and to treat them impolitely. They forget how much tourism can help the country’s economy. It is important to think about how tourism affects them. Tourism should help a country keep the culture and beauty that attract tourists. Tourism should be also helpful for the health and happiness of local people. Too much tourism can be a problem. If tourism grows too quickly, people must leave other jobs to work in the tourism industry. This means that other parts of the country’s economy can suffer.On the other hand, if there is not enough tourism, people can lose jobs. Businesses can also lose money. It takes a great deal of money to build large hotels, airports, air terminals, first-class2roads, and other support facilities needed by tourist attractions. For example, a major international class tourism hotel can cost as much as 50 thousand dollars per room to build. If this room is not used most of the time, the owners of the hotel will lose money.Building a hotel is just a beginning. There must be many support facilities as well, including roads to get to the hotel, electricity, sewers to handle waste and water. All of these support facilities cost money. If they are not used because there are not enough tourists, jobs and money are lost.4. Which of the following probably has been discussed right before this passage?A. It is extremely important to develop tourism.B. Building roads and hotels is essential.C. Support facilities are highly necessary.D. Planning is of great importance to tourism.5. Not enough tourism will _____.A. cause the prices to rise and the income to fallB. lead to fewer tourist attractionsC. have more local people out of workD. ruin other parts of the country’s economy6.It can be inferred from the text that ________.A. the author doesn’t like the tourism to develop quicklyB. tourism can make a difference to the country’s economyC. local people don’t want to be disturbed by touristsD. too many support facilities will lead to jobs and money lossCCotton farmers in some Indian villages are busily buying Coca-Cola and Pepsi, believing that the sugar in the fizzy (起泡的) drinks kills pests.Farmers say scientists advised them to mix pesticides with a sugary juice to control pests, and they found the mixture cheaper and more effective than pure chemicals---although soft drinks makers and scientists dismissed the remarks. N. Hamunayya, who has become a famous person in3his village in the south-eastern state of Andhra Pradesh, said his crop survived an attack of pests which had resisted other pesticides. “We found that all the cola had a uniform effect on pests. The pests became dead and fell to the ground,” he said. He said the drinks had all the elements they needed: they were cheaper, sticky, fizzy, and attracted ants, which ate the young of the pests. But Thinupathi Reddy, assistant director of the Regional Agriculture Research Station, Guntur, says tests had proved such results wrong. “We conducted some fiel d trials on cotton crop at our research station. There was no obvious productivity or destruction of pests,” he says.Statements from Pepsi and Coca-Cola said there was “no scientific basis” for this practice. But their dealers are enjoying increasing sales. Mantan Wall, who sells soft drinks in 17 villages in the region, said sales rose up, thanks to the farmers. “For the 10 days between August and September I had successful business. Instead of just 30 cases (each containing a dozen one-litre bottles) of cola, I started selling almost 200 cases,” he said. “We expected the sales to drop after the news over pesticide residues (残留) in the cola drinks. Now I have to keep extra supply for the cotton farmers,” he said.In February, an Indian environment group made a report saying drinks made by Coca-Cola and Pepsi contained pesticides and called for tougher safety standards. The US firms strongly rejected the findings of the New Delhi-based Centre for Science and Environment and said their products were safe.7. What is the writer’s purpose of writing this passage ?A. Introduce an incident that happened in India.B. Warn people of the harmful effects of soft drinks.C. Suggest using Coca-Cola and Pepsi to kill pests.D. Announce a new discovery of some soft drinks.8. According to paragraph 2, the drinks can kill pests because_____.A. there is some pesticide left in themB. they are cheaper, sticky and fizzyC. they have all the elements that kill pestsD. they made pesticides more effective9. What does the underlined part “this practice” in paragraph 3 probably refer to?4A. testing the mixtureB. selling more drinks in IndiaC. mixing the drinks with pesticidesD. attracting ants to eat the young pests10. The drink makers wouldn’t accept the fact that their drinks could kill pests because_____.A. they thought it went against scienceB. they didn’t believe the farmers told the truthC. they feared it might bring harm to their businessD. they insisted there was no poison left in their products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。

A5 startling statistics about rhinos1. Rhinos have been on Earth for around 50 million years. In that time, species in the rhino family have roamed across not only Africa and Asia but also Europe and North America. There was even a rhino species we dubbed the Giant Unicorn, which grew up to 20 feet in length and had a horn that reached 7 feet long!2. Some 500,000 rhinos could be found across Asia and Africa just one century ago. But since the beginning of the 20th century, their numbers have fallen precipitously. There were just 70,000 by 1970 and a mere 29,000 in the wild today.3. The price for rhino horn is extremely high — so high, in fact, that Save the Rhino asks journalists not to publicize it. Although the price is widely reported anyway, many conservationists worry this publicity can encourage more criminals to enter the rhino-horn trade and stimulate more consumer demand. And regardless of the specific price for a kilogram of rhino horn, it's worth noting that all this fuss is about keratin — a product that's the exact same material as horse hooves, cockatoo beaks, and even our hair and fingernails. Yes, you can get the basically the same thing for free every time you trim your nails or get a hair cut.Why the high price? Primarily rhino horn is used in traditional Chinese medicine, however there's no scientific proof that rhino horn has any medicinal value. According to PBS:"Overall there isn’t much evidence to support the plethora of claims about the healing properties of the horns. In 1990, researchers at Chinese University in Hong Kong found that large doses of rhino horn extract could slightly lower fever in rats (as could extracts from Saiga antelope and water buffalo horn), but the concentration of horn given by a traditional Chinese medicine specialist are many, many times lower than used in those experiments. In short, says Amin, you’d do just as well chewing on your fingernails."4. If poaching levels continue as they are going, wild rhinos could disappear within the next 20 years. This would be not only a devastating blow to the world as a whole, but also to many national economies, which could continue to make money from rhinos through eco-tourism and photo safaris. Rhinos, like so many big fauna, are worth far more alive than dead over the course of their long lifetimes, both through the ecological benefits they provide to their habitats as well as through the thousands upon thousands of dollars tourists are willing to pay to see a rhino grazing peacefully in the wild.5. South Africa is home to 74 percent of the continent's remaining rhino population, according to Stop Rhino Poaching, yet more than 6,100 rhinos have been poached in that country in the last nine years. "This poaching is by no means isolated to South Africa; rhino poaching is surging across the entire African continent, and is a constantthreat to the smaller rhino populations in Asia," according to Save the Rhino. "Other rhino states do not regularly publish poaching statistics, however updates are available in news reports and press releases."21. According to paragraph 1, what can we infer about the Giant Unicorn ?A. It belonged to rhino species, whose size was extremely large.B. It was a kind of species similar to rhino species.C. It belonged to rhino species, whose size was the largest among rhino species.D. It was a common rhino species.22. From what time have the numbers of rhinos dropped dramatically ?A. Not mentionedB. One century agoC. From the start of the 20th centuryD. At the end of the 20th century23. What is the passage mainly about ?A. Some figures about rhinos.B. The dangers rhinos were faced withC. The ways to protect rhinosD. The alarming figures about rhinos and their current situation【答案与解析】文章标题是《关于犀牛的五组令人震惊的数据惊》。

Gilleece looked through camera videos, watching the womans every step in the bar until she went to sit on a bench outside and left when her ride arrived. Then a young man approached the bench and put something in his pocket. Gilleece posted several pictures on the bar’s Facebo ok page, asking if anybody knew the guy.Within hours, Gilleece got a text from 17-year-oid Prather. Prather admitted having taken the wallet because he hadn’t eaten in two days. He said he saw the ring but just took the money and threw the wallet off the public docks(码头) into the ocean.Gilleece, unsure whether he believed Prather, told the teen to meet him at the bar. There, Prather said that, not getting along with his family, he had been living in the woods for a week. Gilleece saw him as a kid rather than a criminal. But the police were already on the case, and because of the missing ring, Prather could face prison. Gilleece planned to employ two divers to search for it. Meanwhile, the police wanted Gilleece to bring the teen to the station. He called them and said,”He’s going to be at the docks with me tomorrow.”The next day a crowd gathered to watch the two divers search in the waters Prather mentioned. Finally a diver appeared with the wallet, and inside was the ring. Cheers burst from the crowd. The wallet’s ow ner immediately dropped the charges against Prather. But troubled by Prather sleeping in the cold woods, Gilleece told the teen he could stay with him and his family until he stood on his own feet.

Hunt said.The study divided the participants into two groups:The first group was allowed to maintain their normal social media habits.The other,the control group,was restricted to 10 minutes per day on social media.The restrictions were put in place for three weeks and then the participants returned and were tested for outcomes such as fear of missing out,anxiety,depression and loneliness.The results showed a very clear link between social media use and increased levels of depression and loneliness."Using less social media than you normally do would lead to significant decreases in both depression and loneliness," Hunt said.Social media invites what Hunt calls "downward social comparison." "When you're online,it can sometimes seem that everyone else is cooler and having more fun and included in more things and you're left out," Hunt said.And that's just generally discouraging."Every minute you spend online is a minute you are not doing your work or not meeting a friend for dinner or having a deep conversation with your roommate." And these real life activities are the ones that can encourage self﹣esteem and self﹣worth,Hunt added."People are on their devices,and that's not going to change," she said.But as in life,a bit of control goes a long way.1.Before the study was conducted,the participants completed a survey to.A.imitate people's real lifeB.link loneliness to depressionC.show their use of social mediaD.prove social media is important2.The results of the study showed using less social media would result in.A.people's fear of missing outB.higher levels of depressionC.obvious relief in lonelinessD.lower levels of happiness3.In Hunt's opinion,which activity benefits more to mental health?A.Hiking out with friends.B.Making comparison with others.C.Playing computer games in spare time.D.Logging onto social media and having fun.4.Which can be the best title of the passage?A.A Study on Social Media.B.How to Improve Mental Health.C.People Addicted to Social Media.D.Social Media Influences Mental Health.4、Inside a secured room in a beautiful castle near Paris, a small metal cylinder (圆柱体) rests on a shelf beneath a double set of bell jars. It has lain there for more than a century, its rest only occasionally disturbed when the room’s three key holders perform a coordinated opening ceremony to let technicians enter and clean this precious piece of metal.First, the cylinder is rubbed with a piece of soft, alcohol-soaked cloth. Then it is steamed with pure water. Finally, the 1kg cylinder is returned, carefully, to its resting place.Such attention to a lump of metal is unusual, but has a purpose. The castle houses the International Bureau of Weights and Measures and that piece of shining, circular metal is its holiest relic. It is the defining mass (质量) against which all other kilograms are measured. This is the international prototype, or standard, of the kilogram. The IPK, in short.Dozens of carefully weighted copies of the original have been made. They are stored around the world and used to standardise individual nations, weights and measures systems.But the days of the IPK, in its current form, are numbered. The International Bureau of Weights and Measures has decided to replace this single physical specimen with a more fundamental measurement - based on electric current - in order to define the mass of an object. The king of kilograms is about to be dethroned.“One key reason for doing this work is to provide international security,” says Bureauspokesman Paul Robinson. “If the castle burned down tomorrow and the kilogram was destroyed, we would have no reference left for the world’s metric weights system. There would be chaos. The current definition of the kilogram is the weight of that cylinder in Paris, after all.”Another major motivation for the replacement of the IPK is the growing need to be able to carry out more and more precise measurements. “Drug companies will soon be wanting to use ingredients that will have to be measured in terms of a few millionths or even billionths of a gram,” says Robinson. “We need to be prepared to weigh substances with that kind of accuracy.”1. What do we know about the IPK from the first two paragraphs?A. It’s cared for with great devotion.B. It’s used in religious ceremonies.C. It’s beautifully designed and decorated.D. It’s the most valuable meta l in the world.2. Which of the following best explains “dethroned” underlined in paragraph 5?A. rebuiltB. removedC. destroyedD. upgraded3. What is a reason for replacing the current IPK?A. To protect the metal cylinder from damage.B. To make taking measurements more economical.C. To provide all countries with the same standard.D. To satisfy the increasing demand for exactness.4. What can be a suitable title for the text?A. No more kilosB. A heavy technologyC. The future of the kiloD.

2019年全国高考英语冲刺训练试卷及答案(三)

2019年全国高考英语冲刺训练试卷及答案(名师押题预测+解析答案,建议下载练习)(满分120分,考试时间100分钟,不含听力)卷Ⅰ第二部分阅读理解(共两节,满分35分)第一节(共10小题,每小题2.5分,满分25分)阅读下面短文,从每题所给的A,B,C和D四个选项中,选出最佳选项AWealth starts with a goal saving a dollar at a time. Call it the piggy bank strategy(策略). There are lessons in that time-honored coin-saving container.Any huge task seems easier when reduced to baby steps. I f you wished to climb a 12,000-foot mountain, and could do it a day at a time, you would only have to climb 33 feet daily to reach the top in a year. If you want to take a really nice trip in 10 years for a special occasion, to collect the $15,000 cost, you have to save $3.93 a day. If you drop that into a piggy bank and then once a year put $1,434 in a savings account at 1% interest rate after-tax, you will have your trip money.When I was a child, my parents gave me a piggy bank to teach me that, if I wanted something, I should save money to buy it. We associate piggy banks with children, but in many countries, the little containers are also popular with adults. Europeans see a piggy bank as a sign of good fortune and wealth. Around the world, many believe a gift of a piggy bank on New Year’s Day brings good luck and financial success. Ah, but you have to put something in it.Why is a pig used as a symbol of saving? Why not an elephant bank, which is bigger and holds more coins? In the Middle Ages, before modern banking and credit instruments, people saved money at home, a few coins at a time dropped into a jar or dish. Potters(制陶工) made these inexpensive containers from an orange-coloredclay(黏土) called “pygg,” and folks saved coins in pygg jars. The Middle English word for pig was “pigge”. While the Saxons pronounced pygg, refer ring to the clay, as “pug”, eventually the two words changed into the same pronunciation, sounding the “i” as in pig or piggy. As the word became less associated with the orange clay and more with the animal, a clever potter fashioned a pygg jar in the shape of a pig, delighting children and adults. The piggy bank was born.Originally you had to break the bank to get to the money, bringing in a sense of seriousness into savings. While piggy banks teach children the wisdom of saving, adults often need to relearn childhood lessons. Think about the things in life that require large amounts of money--- college education, weddings, cars, medical care, starting a business, buying a home, and fun stuff like great trips. So when you have money, take off the top 10%, put it aside, save and invest wisely.1. What is the piggy bank strategy?A. Paying 1% income tax at a time.B. Setting a goal before making a travel plan.C. Aiming high even when doing small things.D. Putting aside a little money regularly for future use.2. Why did the writer’s parents give him a piggy bank as a gift?A. To delight him with the latest fashion.B. To encourage him to climb mountains.C. To help him form the habit of saving.D. To teach him English pronunciation.3. What does then underlined word “something”(Paragraph 3) most probably refer to?A. MoneyB. GiftsC. Financial successD. Good luck4. The last paragraph talks about ________.A. the seriousness of educating childrenB. the enjoyment of taking a great tripC. the importance of managing moneyD. the difficulty of starting a businessBTwo friends have an argument that breaks up their friendship forever, even though neither one can remember how the whole thing got started. Such sad events happen over and over in high schools across the country. In fact, according to an official report on youth violence, "In our country today, the greatest threat to the lives of children and adolescents is not disease or starvation or abandonment, but the terrible reality of violence". Given that this is the case, why aren't students taught to manage conflict the way they are taught to solve math problems, drive cars, or stay physically fit?First of all, students need to realize that conflict is unavoidable. A report on violence among middle school and high school students indicates that most violent incidents between students begin with a relatively minor insult (侮辱). For example, a fight could start over the fact that one student eats a peanut butter sandwich each lunchtime. Laughter over the sandwich can lead to insults, which in turn can lead to violence. The problem isn't in the sandwich, but in the way students deal with the conflict.Once students recognize that conflict is unavoidable, they can practice the golden rule of conflict resolution (解决) stay calm. Once the student feels calmer, he or she should choose words that will calm the other person down as well. Rude words, name-calling, and accusation only add fuel to the emotional fir On the other hand, soft words spoken at a normal sound level can put out the fire before it explodes out of control.After both sides have calmed down, they can use another key strategy f or conflict resolution; listening. Listening allows the two sides to understand each other. One person should describe his or her side, and the other person should listen without interrupting. Afterward, the listener can ask non-threatening questions to clarify the speaker's position. Then the two people should change roles.Finally, students need f. consider what they are hearing. This doesn't mean trying tofigure out what's wrong with the other person. It means understanding what the real issue is and what both sides are trying to accomplish. For example, a shouting match over a peanut butter sandwich might happen because one person thinks the other person is unwilling to try new things. Students need to ask themselves questions such as these: How did this start? What do I really want? What am I afraid off As the issue becomes clearer, the conflict often simply becomes smaller. Even if it doesn't, careful thought helps both sides figure out a mutual solution.There will always be conflict in schools, but that doesn't mean there needs to be violence. After students in Atlanta started a conflict resolution program, according to Educators for Social Responsibility, "64 percent of the teachers reported less physical violence in the classroom; 75 percent of the teachers reported an increase in student cooperation; and 92 percent of the students felt better about themselves". Learning to resolve conflicts can help students deal with friends,. teachers. parents, bosses, and coworkers. In that way, conflict resolution is a basic life skill that should be taught in schools across the country.5. This article is mainly about .A. the lives of school childrenB. the cause of arguments in schoolsC. how to analyze youth violenceD. how to deal with school conflicts6. From Paragraph 2 we can learn that________ .A. violence is more likely to occur at lunchtimeB. a small conflict can lead to violenceC. students tend to lose their temper easilyD. the eating habit of a student is often the cause of a fight7. After the conflict resolution program was started in Atlanta, it was found that______.A. there was a decrease in classroom violenceB. there was less student cooperation in the classroomC. more teachers fell better about themselves in schoolsD. the teacher-student relationship greatly improvedCIt was Saturday. As always, it was a busy one, for “Six days shall you labor and all your work” was taken seriously back then. Outside, Father and Mr. Patrick next door were busy chopping firewood. Inside their own houses, Mother and Mrs. Patrick were engaged in spring cleaning.Somehow the boys had slipped away to the back lot with their kites. Now, even at the risk of having Brother caught to beat carpets, they had sent him to the kitchen for more string(线). It seemed there was no limit to the heights to which kites would fly today.My mother looked at the sitting room, its furniture disordered for a thorough sweeping. Again she cast a look toward the window. “Come on, girls! Let’s take string to the boys and watch them fly the kites a minute.”On the way we met Mrs. Patric, laughing guiltily as if she were doing something wrong, together with her girls.There never was such a day for flying kites! We played all our fresh string into the boys’ kites and they went up higher and higher. We could hardly distinguish the orange-colored spots of the kites. Now and then we slowly pulled one kite back, watching it dancing up and down in the wind, and finally bringing it down to earth, just for the joy of sending it up again.Even our fathers dropped their tools and joined us. Our mothers took their turn, laughing like schoolgirls. I think we were all beside ourselves. Parents forgot their duty and their dignity; children forgot their everyday fights and little jealousies. “Perhaps it’s like this in the kingdom of heaven,” I thought confusedly.It was growing dark before we all walked sleepily back to the housed. I suppose we had some sort of supper. I suppose there must have been surface tidying-up, for the house on Sunday looked clean and orderly enough. The strange thing was, we didn’t mention that day afterward. I felt a little embarrassed. Surely none of theothers had been as excited as I. I locked the memory up in that deepest part of me where we keep “the things that cannot be and yet they are.”The years went on, then one day I was hurrying about my kitchen in a city apartment, trying to get some work out of the way while my three-year-old insistently cried her desire to “go park, see duck.”“I can’t go!” I said. “I have this and this to do, and when I’m through I’ll be too tired to walk that far.”My mother, who was visiting us, looked up from the peas she was shelling. “It’s a wonderful day,” she offered, “really warm, yet there’s a fine breeze. Do you remember that day we flew kites?”I stopped in my dash between stove and sink. The locked door flew open and with it a rush of memories. “Come on,” I told my little girl. “You’re right, it’s too good a day to miss.”Another decade passed. We were in the aftermath(余波) of a great war. All evening we had been asking our returned soldier, the youngest Patrick Boy, about his experiences as a prisoner of war. He had talked freely, but now for a long time he had been silent. What was he thinking of --- what dark and horrible things?“Say!” A smile sipped out from his lips. “Do you remember --- no, of course you wouldn’t. It probably didn’t make the impression on you as it did on me.”I hardly dared speak. “Remember what?”“I used to th ink of that day a lot in POW camp (战俘营), when things weren’t too good. Do you remember the day we flew the kites?”8. Mrs. Patrick was laughing guiltily because she thought________.A. she was too old to fly kitesB. her husband would make fun of herC. she should have been doing her howD. supposed to the don’t game9. By “we were all beside ourselves writer means that they all ________.A. felt confusedB.went wild with joyC. looked onD.forgot their fights10. Why did the writer finally agree to take her little girl for an outing?A. She suddenly remembered her duty as a mother.B. She was reminded of the day they flew kites.C. She had finished her work in the kitchen.D. She thought it was a great day to play outside.第二节(共5小题,每题2分,满分10分)下面文章中有5处(第61-65题)需要添加小标题。

BScientists found gravitational waves as they watched the effects of two black holes running into each other and forming a much bigger one,a century after Albert Einstein predicted that such an event would send ripples(波纹) through space­time.Scientists “heard” the wave with the help of laser beams(激光束) sent through two pipes which form an angle of 90° between each other and are nearly 2,000 miles apart in the US. That equipment let them glimpse the nature of black holes.Together they made up the Laser Interferometer Gravitational­Wave Observatory(LIGO).Gravitational waves were first observed in September 2015 and the second detection(发现) occurred three months later.The third detection,which the astronomers called GW170104,was made on January 4,2017. The astronomers believed their latest finding “provides clues about the directions in which the black holes are spinning”.“Black holes are beautifully simple.You just need two numbers to describe them completely:mass,how much they bend space­time,and a spin,how much space­time moves about them,”said Dr Christopher Berry of the University of Birmingham,one of the researchers in the project.“But it takes lots of hard work to measure these from our data.We now have wonderful mass measurements,and are starting to uncover details about the spins of these black holes,which could give evidence for how they formed.”The researchers said their discovery added further evidence to support Einstein’s general theory of relativity and confirmed the existence of previously unknown black holes.More than 1,000 scientists from the LIGO Scientific Collaboration were involved in the project along with an additional 280 researchers from the European­based Virgo Collaboration.Scientists hope gravitational waves will offer a completely different view of the universe,allowing them to study events that might be hidden from traditional telescopes.“We havefurther confirmation of the existence of stellar(恒星的)­mass black holes that are larger than 20 solar masses.We didn’t know they existed before LIGO detected them,”MIT researcher David Shoemaker said.4.Who pioneered gravitational waves?A.David Shoemaker. B.Christopher Berry.C.Scientists from LIGO. D.Albert Einstein.答案D解析细节理解题。
