I feel proud that Matthew will go to a great schooL I know that this is his finest hour. But looking at the suitcases on his bed sends me out of the room to a hidden comer where I can、stop crying.Through the sorrow, I feel a rising embarrassment “Pull yourself together!” I tell mysel£ There are parents sending their kids off to battle zones. How dare I feel so shattered?One of the great gifts of my life has been having my boys,Matthew and Johnowea Through them, I have explored the mysterious, complicated bond between fathers and sons. As my wife and I raised them, I have discovered the love and loss between my father and me. After my parents’ divorce, I spent weekends with my dad in Ohio. By the time Sunday rolled around, I was unable to enjoy the day,s activities because I was already afraid of the goodbye of the evening.Now, standing among Matthew’s accumulation of possessions, I realize it’s me who has become a boy again. All my sadness and longing to hold on to things are back, sweeping over me as they did when I was a child.His bed is tidy and spare. It already has the feel of a guest bed In my mind I replay wrapping him in his favorite blanket That was our nightly routine until one evening he said, “Daddy, I don't think I need a blanket tonight ” I think of all the times we lay among the covers reading. I look at the bed and think of all the recent times I was annoyed at how late he was sleeping. I'll never have to worry about that again, I realize.For his part, Matthew has been a rock. He is treating his leaving as just another day at the office. AndI'm glad. After all, someone’s got to be strong. I' m proud that he is charging into the first chapter of his adult life with such confidence.24. What is the probable meaning of underlined phrase “Pull yourself together"?A. Get up.B. Cheer up.C. Pull up.D. Wake up.25. What can we infer about Mathew from the text?A. He hates sleeping early.B. He doesn’t get on well with his father.C. He is ready for the new life.D. He doesn't value his father’s love for him.26. How does the writer feel about his son's leaving for college?A. Worried.B. ProudC. BittersweetD. Relieved27. Which of the following can be the best title of the text?A. Unavoidable GoodbyeB. Sweet MemoriesC. Glorious MomentD. Unconditional LoveCBeethoven famously composed several masterpieces while he was deaf, but surely even he would be impressed with this piece of research.A group led by BCI expert Gemot Mullei Putz shows that experiences of quite a different tone can be sounded from BCL Adapting from an established BCI method which mainly enables disabled people to write, the team has developed a new application by which music can be composed and transferred(转录)onto a musical score(乐谱),just through the power of thought. All you need is a special cap which measures brain waves, the adapted BCI, a software for composing music, and of course a bit of musical knowledge.The basic principle of the BCI method used can be briefly described: various options, such as letters or notes, pauses, chords, etc. flash by one after another in a table. If youVe received some training and can focus on the desired option while it lights up on a screen in front of you, you cause a minute change in your brain waves. The BCI recognises this change and draws conclusions about the chosen option.Eighteen test persons had to “think” melodies onto a musical score. All test subjects were of sound bodily health during the study and had a certain degree of basic musical and compositional knowledge. Following user-centered design guidelines, researchers investigated the efficiency, the effectiveness and subjective criteria. The subjective criteria evaluation revealed that users were highly satisfied with the applicatioa “The results of the BCI compositions can really be heard. And what is more important: the test persons enjoyed it The very positive results of the study with bodily healthy test persons are the first step in a possible expansion of the BCI composition to patients,"stresses Mullei-Putz.“Twenty years ago, the idea of composing a piece of music using the power of the mind was unimaginable. Now we can do it, but we still need a bit more time before BCI is mature enough for daily applications. ”28. What do we know about the new application?A. It consists of four parts.B. It's impractical for daily use.C. It's based on a new method.D. It's hard for users to handle.29. What should the test subjects do during the test?A. Watch a screen attentively.B. Listen to the composed melodies.C. Make options by moving their eyes.D. Record their feelings while composing.30. What does the underlined word “y” in Paragraph 4 refer to?A. The test.B. The musical score.C. The study.D. The BCI application.31. Who will benefit most from the new application?A. BCI experts.B. Disabled musidanaC. Music studios.D. Learners of music.DMany years ago in a zoo,I was shocked by finding that chimpanzees (大猩猩)could behave in a more civil manner than youths while youths could behave worse than them. Great apes(类人猿)are always one ofthe favourite attractions in any zoo. The main reason for this is that they are so similar to us.This similarity has persuaded a group called the Great Ape Project (GAP) to campaign for these animals to be afforded “human rights”.This has resulted in legislation in New Zealand, which could mean that great apes would become the first animals in the world with basic rights protected by the law.Not everybody is happy with this idea, however. Scientists using animals for scientific research fear that this is just the first stage in a process that will lead to a ban on using all animals for research.The GAP declaration claims great apes should have “human” rights due to scientific evidence about their abilities. But if we compare the abilities of humans and great apes, then why not the abilities of great apes and monkeys, monkeys and lemurs, and so on until insects are granted “ human rights". This is not foolish. There are people without fundamental human rights. How long ago, for example, did women not have the right to vote?Yet another argument by those who don,t support GAP is that the human-like qualities of the great apes have been exaggerated for certain reasons, and that this has led people to exaggerate the similarities but ignore the differences between humans and other great apes.In a fascinating article entitled “What It Really Means To Be 99% Chimpanzee”, Jonathan Marks points out that, although a human and a daffodil(水仙花)share common ancestry and their DNA matches more than 25% of the time, it is plainly ridiculous to claim that we are one-quarter daffodils.He goes on to demonstrate that, if looked at from one angle,it is true that we are phylogenetically(动植物演化史)apes. But also fish from phylogenetically another angle! “Doesn’t sound quite so profound now,does it?”32. What does Paragraph 1 mainly talk about?A. The experience was unforgettable.B. Chimpanzees are similar to humans.C. Chimpanzees are very popular in the zoo.D. Animals could behave better than humans.33. Which of the following would the Great Ape Project most probably agree with?A. Animals should be free from any scientific research.B. New Zealand should do more to protect the rights of apes.C. The differences between humans and apes have been ignored.D. Apes have adequate characteristics to be included as our equals.34. How does the author develop his idea mainly in Paragraph 5?A. By reasoning.B. By giving examples.C. By making a comparison.D. By providing scientific evidence.35. What point does Jonathon Marks try to make in his article?A. Humans are more than one-quarter daffodil.B. Great apes and fish are phylogenetically similar.C. Humans are as similar to fish as they are to great apes.D. Being 99% genetically identical matters less than thought.第一节完形填空(共20小题;每小题1.5分,满分30分)Alex Yawor brings fallen heroes back to life by painting their final portraits.

成都市2018届高三三诊英语第二部分阅读理解(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,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
AThere are dozens of movie recommendation engines on the Web. They're all different, but some are definitely better than others.Rotten TomatoesInstead of telling Rotten Tomatoes which films you like, you can tell it what kind of films you enjoy,which actors you want to see,and other standards to help it find the best movie for you. There' s a lot of variability in the quality of Rotten Tomatoes r ecommendations but it’s also a nice way to find the right film for any mood.NetflixNetflix asks you to rate (评级) movies to determine which films you’ll want to see next. And although it does make it easy to rate movies and it does return huge lists, the ideas it gives you aren' t all that strong. It' s easy to use, but it’s not the best way to get movie recommendations.JinniWhether you want to search for films based on your mood,time available, or reviews, the site has it all. But Jinni’s most amazing feature is its semantic search. You can enter terms like, “movies that have gangsters” or “films that show Chris Farley yelling” and the site will return films that match your question. Go use Jinni. You won’t regret it!CritickerInstead of just allowing you to rank films, Criticker compares your ratings to those of other users and see how closely your tastes match those of other users. Once the service finds matches, you can view other users’ lists and see which movies they like.21. What makes Criticker special?A. Comparing users’ ratings.B. Ranking your favourite films.C. Offering different standards.D. Finding films based on mood.22. Which one does the author recommend most?A. Netflix.B. Jinni.C. Criticker.D. Rotten Tomatoes.23. What is the purpose of the text?A. To recommend the best movies online.B. To show how to use movie search engines.C. To introduce several movie search engines.D. To explain how to find the best movies online.“A bird with a broken wing will never fly as high.” I’m sure T. J. Ware was made to feel this way almost every day in school.By high school, T. J. was the most celebrated troublemaker in his town. Teachers literally cringed when they saw his name posted on their classroom lists.I met T. J. for the first time when all the students at school were attending ACE training. At first, he showed no interest in the discussion. But slowly, the interactive games drew him in. T. J. had some brilliant thoughts on those situations, which were welcomed by his group. By the end of the activity, the other students on the team were impressed with his concern and ideas and elected T. J. co-chairman of the team.When T. J. showed up at school on Monday morning, a group of teachers were expressing their disagreements to the school principal about his being elected co-chairman. The principal reminded them that the purpose of the program was to uncover any positive feeling and strengthen its practice until true change can take place. The teachers left the meeting, firmly convinced that failure was unavoidable.Two weeks later, T. J. and his friends led a group of 70 students to collect food. They collected a school record: 2,854 cans of food in just two hours. The local newspaper covered the event with a full-page article the next day. That newspaper story was posted on the main bulletin board at school, where everyone could see it. T. J.’s picture was up there for doing something great.T. J. started showing up at school every day and answered questions from teachers for the first time. The event he started now yields 9,000 cans of food in one day, taking care of 70 percent of the need for food for one year.T. J. reminds us that a bird with a broken wing only needs mending. But once it has healed, it can fly higher than the rest. T. J. got a job. He became productive. He is flying quite nicely these days.24. What do we know about T. J. before he attended the training?A. He was talkative in class.B. He didn’t have a good fame.C. His ideas were quite impressive.D. He showed up at school every day.25. Why did the team members elect T. J. co-chairman?A. He promised them a bright future.B. They wanted to offer him a chance.C. They thought the job was quite easy.D. He was considered qualified for the job.26. What do we know about people’s attitude towards T. J.'s being elected?A. Uncaring.B. Favorable.C. Controversial.D. Doubtful.27. What does the author try to convey with this story?A. No pain, no gain.B. Rome wasn’t buil t in a day.C. Don’t judge a book by its cover.D. Treat others as you want to be treated.The philosopher Robert Nozick used the idea of an “experience machine” to refute the view that good experiences are all we want from life. He thought that most of us would not choose the machine and prefer reality. “But why?” he encouraged us to ask.There was no such thing as virtual (虚拟的) reality (VR) when he was writing. But now we can give ourselves computer generated experiences that are like the real thing. The question raised by Nozick has become a real issue. Why should you prefer the trouble and expense of actually visiting Angkor Wat or Niagara Falls when you can get all the experiences of being there by putting on goggles and a body suit?One answer is that the emotions you feel when you have a virtual experience are not as valuable. When you actually see Niagara Falls, you feel awe and even fear in the face of an overpowering force of nature. Being in the presence of something that causes you these feelings is part of the pleasure.Visiting a virtual Niagara Falls may also cause you feelings of awe and fear but they are cheapened by your knowledge that the danger is not real and that your mind is being tricked into thinking that it is.Reality also holds a potential for making discoveries that virtual reality lacks. Those who visit Angkor Wat hope to see more than they expected from tourist information, perhaps even discover what have been missed. Computer simulations (模拟),however good, contain only what have been put into them.There is a further reason for preferring a real experience. Real experiences connect us to the deeds of past people and place us in contexts where history was made. Viewing an actual painting by Rembrandt is a more valuable experience than viewing a copy, however good. The genuine painting was the work of the man himself. We see his brush strokes on the canvas. We are in the presence of genius.Virtual reality can take us to places we can never go. It can be exciting, amusing and a good way of spending leisure time. But it will never be a substitute for connections with the real thing.28. What does the underlined word “refute” in Paragraph 1 mean?A. Contradict.B. Express.C. Prove.D. Correct.29. What does the author think of virtual reality?A. It can benefit people in certain aspects.B. It will be smart enough to satisfy our needs.C. It cannot cause feelings of fear or happiness.D. It cannot help us understand what has happened30. How many reasons are mentioned to support the preference for reality?A. Two.B. Three.C. Four.D. Five.31. Which of the following is the best title for the text?A. What VR Cannot OfferB. How VR Changes Our LifeC. How VR Is Different from RealityD. Why VR Cannot Match the Real ThingFeathers are not just for flight. They keep birds warm and attract mates. And for one Australian bird, feathers even help produce an important sound-an alarm.“People had long noticed these birds produced these loud sounds.”Trevor Murray, a researcher at the Australian National University said. “My supervisor Rob Magrath and May Hingee thought they were used as an alarm. So they did some playbacks and they could show quite strongly that if you play back these sounds to other birds, they flee straightaway. So I was really interested in how they produce the sound, whether it is actually a signal, and whether it' s a reliable signal.”The team focused their experiment on specific feathers in the pigeon’s wing. “We were able to target (目标) the eighth primary feather, which is unusually narrow. And then we also removed, on different sets of birds, those neighboring feathers, the ninth primary feather and the seventh primary feather. And we were able to see when the eighth primary feather was missing, the high note had completely disappeared. So the eighth primary feather produced that high note and the ninth primary feather actually produced the low note. ”And if the birds are fleeing from danger, they produce a louder and higher sound than they do during a normal takeoff. The study is in the journal Current Biology.Murray and his colleagues did another experiment where they used the recordings they made to observe the reactions of other pigeons. “We were able to see the unusual eight h primary feather was important for signaling alarm. When that eighth primary feather was missing,they very rarely responded. They almost never fled. Whereas when that ninth primary produces the sound, they fled just as much as to normal alarms. This shows us this unusual primary feather is important for signaling alarm. ”That makes birds of a feather flee together.32. What does the underlined word “they” in Paragraph 2 refer to?A. The birds.B. Rob and May.C. The feathers.D. The loud sounds.33. What did Rob Magrath and May Hingee find out about the birds?A. They fly away as a group.B. They produce different notes.C.

成都市高2018届高三三诊英语试题word版
成都市2018届高三三诊英语第二部分阅读理解(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,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
AThere are dozens of movie recommendation engines on the Web. They're all different, but some are definitely better than others.Rotten TomatoesInstead of telling Rotten Tomatoes which films you like, you can tell it what kind of films you enjoy,which actors you want to see,and other standards to help it find the best movie for you. There' s a lot of variability in the quality of Rotten Tomatoes recommendations but it’s also a nice way to find the right film for any mood.NetflixNetflix asks you to rate (评级) movies to determine which films you’ll want to see next. And although it does make it easy to rate movies and it does return huge lists, the ideas it gives you aren' t all that strong. It' s easy to use, but it’s not the best way to get movie recommendations.JinniWhether you want to search for films based on your mood,time available, or reviews, the site has it all. But Jinni’s most amazing feature is its semantic search. You can enter terms like, “movies that have gangsters” or “films that show Chris Farley yelling” and the site will return films that match your question. Go use Jinni. You won’t regret it!CritickerInstead of just allowing you to rank films, Criticker compares your ratings to those of other users and see how closely your tastes match those of other users. Once the service finds matches, you can view other users’ lists and see which movies they like.21. What makes Criticker special?A. Comparing users’ ratings.B. Ranking your favourite films.C. Offering different standards.D. Finding films based on mood.22. Which one does the author recommend most?A. Netflix.B. Jinni.C. Criticker.D. Rotten Tomatoes.23. What is the purpose of the text?A. To recommend the best movies online.B. To show how to use movie search engines.C. To introduce several movie search engines.D. To explain how to find the best movies online.“A bird with a broken wing will never fly as high.” I’m sure T. J. Ware was made to feel this way almost every day in school.By high school, T. J. was the most celebrated troublemaker in his town. Teachers literally cringed when they saw his name posted on their classroom lists.I met T. J. for the first time when all the students at school were attending ACE training. At first, he showed no interest in the discussion. But slowly, the interactive games drew him in. T. J. had some brilliant thoughts on those situations, which were welcomed by his group. By the end of the activity, the other students on the team were impressed with his concern and ideas and elected T. J. co-chairman of the team.When T. J. showed up at school on Monday morning, a group of teachers were expressing their disagreements to the school principal about his being elected co-chairman. The principal reminded them that the purpose of the program was to uncover any positive feeling and strengthen its practice until true change can take place. The teachers left the meeting, firmly convinced that failure was unavoidable.Two weeks later, T. J. and his friends led a group of 70 students to collect food. They collected a school record: 2,854 cans of food in just two hours. The local newspaper covered the event with a full-page article the next day. That newspaper story was posted on the main bulletin board at school, where everyone could see it. T. J.’s picture was up there for doing something great.T. J. started showing up at school every day and answered questions from teachers for the first time. The event he started now yields 9,000 cans of food in one day, taking care of 70 percent of the need for food for one year.T. J. reminds us that a bird with a broken wing only needs mending. But once it has healed, it can fly higher than the rest. T. J. got a job. He became productive. He is flying quite nicely these days.24. What do we know about T. J. before he attended the training?A. He was talkative in class.B. He didn’t have a good fame.C. His ideas were quite impressive.D. He showed up at school every day.25. Why did the team members elect T. J. co-chairman?A. He promised them a bright future.B. They wanted to offer him a chance.C. They thought the job was quite easy.D. He was considered qualified for the job.26. What do we know about people’s attitude towards T. J.'s being elected?A. Uncaring.B. Favorable.C. Controversial.D. Doubtful.27. What does the author try to convey with this story?A. No pain, no gain.B. Rome wasn’t built in a day.C. Don’t judge a book by its cover.D. Treat others as you want to be treated.The philosopher Robert Nozick used the idea of an “experience machine” to refute the view that good experiences are all we want from life.

I never fully understood that stereotype until two months ago, when I left Canada for a 4-month period in a lab in France. On my first day, Pierre, a Ph. D.student, tapped me on my shoulder and asked: “Coffee?” I nodded and followed him to the common room, where other grad students were filing in. I sat there, cautiously sipping the bitter liquid and trying hard not to reveal my uncultured tastes, while lab chatter filled the air.Coffee breaks are a ceremonial part of lab culture here. The chatter sometimes turns to serious scientific topics. But mostly, the meet-ups offer a chance to wind down, to share stories about life inside and outside the lab and to sympathize with people who understand what you’re going through.The lighthearted atmosphere and sense of community is a welcome contrast to my life in Canada, where I spent most of my workdays in isolation. I went into the lab each morning with set goals for my day. At lunch, I’d keep my eyes glued to my computer while I fed forkfuls of salad into my mouth, trying to power through my to-do list. For 9 months, I struggled to figure out why I couldn’t exactly copy the results of another study. I didn’t want to trouble my advisor too much. I was also hesitant to ask my labmates for help.How much we were missing! Researchers need community because good ideas don’t just come from reading literature and thinking deep thoughts. It’s helpful to bounce ideas off others, and, to have a venue to share the day-to-day ups and downs of life.Would coffee breaks have solved all my problems? Probably not. But I think sharingideas with my peers would have helped solve my research dilemma. My time in France has taught me that it’s important to create space for organic conversations about lab life. A scientist’s life can feel isolating, but it’s not necessarily so when you’re connected to a supportive community.4.How did the author feel when he drank coffee for the first time in France?A.A little nervous.B.Very happy.C.Somewhat excited.D.Quite curious.5.What does Paragraph 2 mainly talk about?A.Cultural ceremonies in France.B.Various topics of the chatter.C.The benefits of coffee breaks.D.Lab culture in French style.6.What was the author’s life like back in Canada?A.Comfortable and fulfilled.B.Busy and lonely.C.Tense but satisfactory.D.Boring but healthy.7.Why does the author write this passage?A.To introduce the coffee break in Europe.B.To explain the difference between cultures.C.To recall his personal experience in France.D.To convey the importance of a supportive circle.A robot with a sense of touch may one day feel “pain”, both its own physical pain and sympathy for the pain of its human companions. Such touchy-feely robots are still far off, but advances in robotic touch-sensing are bringing that possibility closer to reality.Sensors set in soft, artificial skin that can detect both a gentle touch and a painful strike have been hooked up to a robot that can then signal emotions, Asada reported February 15 at the annual meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science. This artificial “pain nervous system,” as Asada calls it, may be a small building block for a machine that could ultimately experience pain. Such a feeling might also allow a robot to “sympathize” with a human companion’s suffering.Asada, an engineer at Osaka University, and his colleagues have designed touch sensors that reliably pick up a range of touches. In a robot system named Affetto, a realistic looking child’s head, these touch and pain signals can be converted to emotional facial expressions.A touch-sensitive, soft material, as opposed to a rigid metal surface, allows richerinteractions between a machine and the world, says neuroscientist Kingson Man of the University of Southern California. Artificial skin “allows the possibility of engagement in truly intelligent ways”.Such a system, Asada says, might ultimately lead to robots that can recognize the pain of others, a valuable skill for robots designed to help care for people in need, the elderly, for instance.But there is an important distinction between a robot that responds in a predictable wayto a painful strike and a robot that’s able to compute an internal feeling accurately, says Damasio, a neuroscientist also at the University of Southern California. A robot with sensors that can detect touch and pain is “along the lines of having a robot, for example, that smiles when you talk to it,” Damasio says. ‘It’s a device for communication of the machine to a human.” While that’s an interesting development, “it’s not the same thing” as a robot designed to compute some sort of internal experience, he says.8.What do we know about the “pain nervous system”?A.It is named Affetto by scientists.B.It is a set of complicated sensors.C.It is able to signal different emotions.D.It combines sensors and artificial skin. 9.What does the underlined word “converted” in Paragraph 3 probably mean? A.Delivered.B.Translated.C.Attached.D.Adapted. 10.What does Damasio consider as an interesting development?A.Robots can smile when talked to.B.Robots can talk to human beings.C.Robots can compute internal feelingsD.Robots can detect pains and respond accordingly.11.What can be the best title of the text?A.Machines Become Emotional B.Robots Inch to Feeling Pain C.Human Feelings Can Be Felt D.New Devices Touch Your HeartOn a scale of 0 to 10, I’d say my happiness ranks at about 6. I’m glad to know I’m a 6, because, as a famous management saying puts it, “You can't manage what you don’t measure.” If you want to improve an aspect of your life, you need to be able to assess progress toward your goal-and that means measuring it.The goal of this column is to help you manage and improve your happiness. A number ofpeople have asked me whether quantitative happiness measures are really accurate and reliable-and it’s a reasonable question. So let’s take a look behind the curtain. But not just for intellectual curiosity; as you will see, understanding the measurement of happiness can itself make you better at improving your own well-being-and avoid some critical errors.The best method scientists have to understand with confidence how something affects something else is a randomized, controlled trial. Think of the tests currently under way to find a vaccine for COvID-19. They take a long time because the drug companies with trial vaccines are conducting experiments that randomly assign people to a treatment group they get the vaccine and a control group (they get a placebo), and then waiting to seif the drug is effective and safe by comparing the two groups after enough time has passed.In the research on happiness, this usually isn’t possible. Want to know if people are truly happiest in Denmark, as some studies suggest, and test it with a randomized experiment? You would need to randomly take two groups out of their homes, move one group to Copenhagen, and the other to, say, Dayton, Ohio- but make sure they think it might be Copenhagen and never get the truth. Follow up a few years later to see who is happiest. Obviously, that’s ridiculous. So with randomized controlled trials largely not available to them, happiness researchers instead rely on self-reported happiness surveys, where large groups of people anonymously report their levels of life satisfaction. Then, the researchers use fairly complex statistical techniques to mimic(模拟)a controlled experiment in order to show how different aspects of people’s lives affect-or at least are associated with-their happiness.12.What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 1 probably refer to?A.An aspect of life.B.One's goal.C.Happiness.D.Progress. 13.Why is the test of CovID-19 vaccine mentioned in Paragraph 3?A.To introduce a latest medical breakthrough.B.To show the difficulty in finding the vaccine.C.To illustrate the process of randomized experiments.D.To prove the impossibility of randomized researches on happiness.14.Why is it hard to conduct research on happiness with randomized experiments?A.The experiment takes a long time.B.It is difficult to analyze the data collected.C.It is impossible to carry out the process strictly.D.The subjects are unwilling to share their feelings.15.Where is this text taken from?A.A magazine.B.A diary.C.A science report.D.A textbook.二、七选五Open a book by any philosopher and you'll probably read that a meaningful life has to involve achieving something difficult. That's because many philosophers are perfectionists when it comes to the meaning of life. It's not just philosophers, either. Perfectionism is one of the main reasons people tend to believe their lives are meaningless.____16____If they aren't doing something absolutely amazing, then life has no meaning.____17____ So the conclusion is obvious: most lives are meaningless. Right? Not really. Dig a little deeper, and perfectionism falls apart. Actually you don't need to be a perfectionist about the meaning of life. Life would be fantastic if everything was perfect. But something doesn't need to be perfect to be fantastic.____18____For one, it's pretty inconsistently applied most of the time. People who are perfectionists about the meaning of life often don't apply it to other areas of their lives.____19____For example, perfectionists don't think they're a failure if they don't get a hundred percent on every test. So isn't it also absurd to apply that kind of standard to the meaning of life?It doesn't end there. The demands that perfectionists place on themselves and others are actually really unrealistic. And that means they can only lead todisappointment.____20____It would be similarly odd to call one of your friends a huge failure because he can't achieve as much in a day as Superman. But that's exactly the logic perfectionism applies when it claims that our lives have to be extraordinary in some way to have meaning.A.They see life as all -or-nothing.B.We don't expect a dog to drive a car.C.This leads to lots of double standards.D.You're unlikely to be satisfied with any result.E.And there are actually a few problems with perfectionism.F.However, most of us aren't an Einstein or a Mother Teresa.G.They'd probably dismiss the ideas like that as absurd, in fact.三、完形填空Sophie, 13, won the 2019 New Zealand’s “Think kind” competition for student.“I____21____ a beach clean-up, because it really____22____ me that marine(海洋的) life is hurt by thoughtless decisions of humans.”Sophie saw____23____ on the sea floor while snorkeling(徒手潜泳). “It was the first time I’d seen marine life ____24____ among plastics.”It was the trigger of her act. “We weren’t taking enough____25____. Everyone needs to do their____26____, otherwise we’re going to____27____our planet.”Sophie turned to media to get her____28____out and ask for volunteers at the clean-up. To her surprise, more than 200 people turned up. 200 kilograms of rubbish were____29____ that day. “It was horrible. We knew rubbish was there but we didn’t realizehow_____30_____ until we started collecting.”Once ecological(生态的)_____31_____had hit Sophie, it hit hard. On her l4th birthday, she decided to celebrate differently._____32_____ holding a party creating waste, she decided to_____33_____ it. On her “party,” Sophie and her friends_____34_____ to pick up the rubbish that_____35_____ along the river bank near the town.“If there is one thing everyone could do, it is to ‘_____36_____ after yourself’,” says Sophie. “It’s hard for some families to_____37_____plastic alternatives, but just not buying things wrapped in plastic will help.” She suggests using_____38_____ materials like metal straws. “When there are more_____39_____on the market, it will be_____40_____for individuals to make a change.”21.A.improved B.held C.planned D.supported 22.A.interests B.impresses C.puzzles D.bothers 23.A.rocks B.creatures C.garbage D.plants 24.A.increasing B.living C.dying D.eating 25.A.advice B.time C.patience D.action 26.A.favour B.part C.work D.role 27.A.adjust to B.devote to C.let down D.put down 28.A.message B.stories C.concept D.approaches 29.A.recycled B.buried C.sold D.collected 30.A.smelly B.tough C.much D.far31.A.awareness B.disaster C.imbalance D.development 32.A.In spite of B.For the sake of C.Instead of D.Because of 33.A.store B.make C.sort D.reduce 34.A.managed B.expected C.continued D.claimed 35.A.wanders B.runs C.disappears D.accumulates 36.A.pick up B.set up C.turn up D.back up 37.A.avoid B.afford C.select D.protect 38.A.reusable B.advanced C.valueless D.inexpensive 39.A.inventions B.sellers C.options D.creations 40.A.better B.easier C.happier D.longer四、用单词的适当形式完成短文阅读下面短文, 在空白处填入1 个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。The Book of Songs, also known as Shi Jing, is the oldest existing ____41____ (collect) of Chinese poetry. Three years ago, when Chinese musician Fang Jinlong read Shi Jing, he was interested in the stories told through the poems. Because he couldn’t ____42____ (full) understand the ancient Chinese language ____43____ (use) in the poems, he turned to experts whose elaboration further attracted him to explore the poems.Then he decided to portray the poems with musical language by inviting composer Ma Jiuyue ____44____ (create) an album. Titled Music and the Book of Songs, the album was released on Jan 18, ____45____ (feature) 10 original songs composed by Ma. They____46____ (perform) by Fang and won great popularity.The 10 songs are based on 10 poems from Shi Jing, including Qiong Yao, which conveys gratitude to people who are eager to help others, Swallows, which ____47____ (send) farewell messages to friends and Jia Y u, which portrays the scenes of a joyful banquet.“Young people gave warm feedback about traditional Chinese music ____48____ they had watched my performance. It inspired me to create more works for them, which helps popularize traditional Chinese music,” says Fang.“The 10 pieces sound ____49____ (enjoy) and easy. For the listeners, it’s a fresh way to comprehend poems from Shi Jing,” says Ma. “We spent three years working on_____50_____project. There are so many meanings in the poems and we want to displaythem as deep as possible with music,” Ma says, “It’s our mutual goal to have traditional Chinese music reach a wider audience.”五、短文改错51.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。

I know that this is his finest hour. But looking at the suitcases on his bed sends me out of the room to a hidden corner where I can stop crying.Through the sorrow, I feel a rising embarrassment. “Pull yourself togethe r!” I tell mysel f. There are parents sending their kids off to battle zones. How dare I feel so shattered?One of the great gifts of my life has been having my boys,Matthew and Johnowea. Through them, I have explored the mysterious, complicated bond between fathers and sons. As my wife and I raised them, I have discovered the love and loss between my father and me. After my parents’ divorce, I spent weekends with my dad in Ohio. By the time Sunday rolled around, I was unable to e njoy the day’s activities because I was already afraid of the goodbye of the evening.Now, standing among Matthew’s accumulation of possessions, I realize it’s me who has become a boy again. All my sadness and longing to hold on to things are back, sweeping over me as they did when I was a child.His bed is tidy and spare. It already has the feel of a guest bed. In my mind I replay wrapping him in his favorite blanket. That was our nightly routine until one evening he said, “Daddy, I don't think I need a blanket tonight ”. I think of all the times we lay among the covers reading. I look at the bed and think of all the recent times I was annoyed at how late he was sleeping. I'll never have to worry about that again, I realize.For his part, Matthew has been a rock. He is treating his leaving as just another day at the office. And I'm glad. After all, someone’s got to be strong. I' m proud that he is charging into the first chapter of his adult life with such confidence.24. What is the probable meaning o f underlined phrase “Pull yourself together"?A. Get up.B. Cheer up.C. Pull up.D. Wake up.25. What can we infer about Mathew from the text?A. He hates sleeping early.B. He doesn’t get on well with his father.C. He is ready for the new life.D. He doesn't value his father’s love for him.26. How does the writer feel about his son's leaving for college?A. Worried.B. ProudC. BittersweetD. Relieved27. Which of the following can be the best title of the text?A. Unavoidable GoodbyeB. Sweet MemoriesC. Glorious MomentD. Unconditional LoveCBeethoven famously composed several masterpieces while he was deaf, but surely even he would be impressed with this piece of research.A group led by BCI expert Gemot Mullei Putz shows that experiences of quite a different tone can be sounded from BCI. Adapting from an established BCI method which mainly enables disabled people to write, the team has developed a new application by which music can be composed and transferred (转录) onto a musical score (乐谱),just through the power of thought. All you need is a special cap which measures brain waves, the adapted BCI, a software for composing music, and of course a bit of musical knowledge.The basic principle of the BCI method used can be briefly described:various options, such as letters or notes, pauses, chords, etc. flash by one after another in a table. If you’ve received some training and can focus on the desired option while it lights up on a screen in front of you, you cause a minute change in your brain waves. The BCI recognises this change and draws conclusions about the chosen option.Eighteen test persons had to “think” melodies onto a musical score. All test subjects were of sound bodily health during the study and had a certain degree of basic musical and compositional knowledge. Following user-centered design guidelines, researchers investigated the efficiency, the effectiveness and subjective criteria. The subjective criteria evaluation revealed that users were highly satisfied with the application. “The results of the BCI compositions can really be heard. And what is more important:the test persons enjoyed it. The very positive results of the study with bodily healthy test persons are the first step in a possible expansion of the BCI composition to patients," stresses Mullei-Putz.“Twenty years ago, the idea of composing a piece of music using the power of the mind was unimaginable. Now we can do it, but we still need a bit more time before BCI is mature enough for daily applications. ”28. What do we know about the new application?A. It consists of four parts.B. It's impractical for daily use.C. It's based on a new method.D. It's hard for users to handle.29. What should the test subjects do during the test?A. Watch a screen attentively.B. Listen to the composed melodies.C. Make options by moving their eyes.D. Record their feelings while composing.30. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 4 refer to?A. The test.B. The musical score.C. The study.D. The BCI application.31. Who will benefit most from the new application?A. BCI experts.B. Disabled musiciansC. Music studios.D. Learners of music.DMany years ago in a zoo,I was shocked by finding that chimpanzees (大猩猩) could behave in a more civil manner than youths while youths could behave worse than them. Great apes (类人猿) are always one of the favourite attractions in any zoo. The main reason for this is that they are so similar to us.This similarity has persuaded a group called the Great Ape Project (GAP) to campaign for these animals to be afforded “human rights”.This has resulted in legislation in New Zealand, which could mean that great apes would become the first animals in the world with basic rights protected by the law.Not everybody is happy with this idea, however. Scientists using animals for scientific research fear that this is just the first stage in a process that will lead to a ban on using all animals for research.The G AP declaration claims great apes should have “human” rights due to scientific evidence about their abilities. But if we compare the abilities of humans and great apes, then why not the abilities of great apes and monkeys, monkeys and lemurs, and so on unti l insects are granted “ human rights". This is not foolish. There are people without fundamental human rights. How long ago, for example, did women not have the right to vote?Yet another argument by those who don’t support GAP is that the human-like qualities of the great apes have been exaggerated for certain reasons, and that this has led people to exaggerate the similarities but ignore the differences between humans and other great apes.In a fascinating article entitled “What It Really Means To Be 99% Chimpanzee”,Jonathan Marks points out that, although a human and a daffodil (水仙花) share common ancestry and their DNA matches more than 25% of the time, it is plainly ridiculous to claim that we are one-quarter daffodils.He goes on to demonstrate that, if looked at from one angle,it is true that we are phylogenetically (动植物演化史) apes. But also fish from phylogenetically another angle! “Doesn’t sound quite so profound now, does it?”32. What does Paragraph 1 mainly talk about?A. The experience was unforgettable.B. Chimpanzees are similar to humans.C. Chimpanzees are very popular in the zoo.D. Animals could behave better than humans.33. Which of the following would the Great Ape Project most probably agree with?A. Animals should be free from any scientific research.B. New Zealand should do more to protect the rights of apes.C. The differences between humans and apes have been ignored.D. Apes have adequate characteristics to be included as our equals.34. How does the author develop his idea mainly in Paragraph 5?A. By reasoning.B. By giving examples.C. By making a comparison.D. By providing scientific evidence.35. What point does Jonathon Marks try to make in his article?A. Humans are more than one-quarter daffodil.B. Great apes and fish are phylogenetically similar.C. Humans are as similar to fish as they are to great apes.D. Being 99% genetically identical matters less than thought.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人空白处的最佳选项,选项中有两项为多余选项。
