Sophia frowned as she helped her mother and father set out the cooking supplies in the shiny steel kitchen. Her family had just moved here from San Francisco,having bought a small restaurant, which was set to open in the next few days.＂Moving here was a dumb idea," Sophia grumbled,mostly to herself. The girl had been joyless about the move, but her parents had made the decision and were now too busy getting ready for the grand opening to listen to her complaints.The first few days at her new school hadn't been easy,either. She found it hard to talk to people she didn't know, and it seemed like the students hadn't even noticed her. Sophia sighed and got back to washing dishes.On the day of the grand opening,Sophia' s parents were all smiling,welcoming customers into the restaurant, brightly decorated in gold and red. Even Sophia was in a good mood as she rushed around,seating guests,handing out menus,and pouring tall glasses of water. This was a big day for her family.At one of the tables sat a family with two daughters who were about Sophia' s age. As she filled their glasses,Sophia realized the twins were in her class,Emily and Jenny. Sophia ducked her head down so her long hair covered her face,and she turned away from the table.Sophia' s mother found her soon after, in the kitchen loading the dishwasher.“Honey, what are you doing back here? W e need you out front with the customers. ”“Mom, I don't want to be out there. There are kids from school!”＂So?” her mother asked.“That's good! Go take them some fortune cookies and say hello!”She clucked hertongue disapprovingly at Sophia and disappeared out of the kitchen.Sophia frowned. She grabbed a handful of fortune cookies that they gave out after every meal,but first she tore open a wrapper and cracked a cookie open for herself. She popped a sweet, crunchy piece in her mouth, and absently read the fortune paper it held.＂Many friends are found with a single smile,” it read.注意：1.续写词数应为150左右；2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。

AI was reading these interesting stories behind a group of great logos in the world. Personally Nike is my favorite one –it’s so simple. And I liked the stories behind them, which made me f orget all other things. McDonald’s, Apple, Mercedes Benz and Adidas own great logos as well, and they are among my favo rites.NikeIn the Greek myth, Nike is the goddess of victory and the sour ce of inspiration for soldiers. This logo represents the wing in t he famous statue of the Greek goddess. Nike’s logo was desi gned by Carolyn Davidson in 1971 for $ 35, and was registere d as a trademark in 1995.McDonald’sThe logo was designed in 1962 by Jim Schindler to resemble the archshaped (拱形的) signs on the side of the company’s then walk-up hamburger stand. Later on, the two golden arches were co mbined together to form the M. The McDonald’s name was ad ded to the logo in 1968.AppleThere are different stories behind Apple’s logo. The first logo was a reference to the religious story of Adam and Eve, in whi ch the apple represented the fruit of the Tree of Knowledge. O ne year later, the second logo was designed in 1977 by Steve Jobs and Ronald Wayne, and it described Sir Isaac Newton s itting under an apple tree. This logo didn’t stay long. One year later it was replaced almost immediately by graphic designer Rob Janoff’s“rainbow apple”, a rainbow-colored silhouette (轮廓) of an apple with a bite taken out of it. And then the rainbow-colored apple was replaced by the one-colored logo in 1998. It has not been changed so far. Mercedes BenzThe Mercedes Benz logo, which was originally created by Gottlieb Daimler in 1909, consists of a simple description of a three-pointed star that represents its rule of the land, the sea and th e air. The company was founded by Gottlieb Daimler and Wilh elm Maybach. Mercedes is the name of Maybach’s elder dau ghter, while Benz came as a result of a combination with Ben z, Cie and DMG in 1926.AdidasThe Adidas logo, which was created by the founder of the company Adi Dassler, represents mountains, pointing towards the challenges that are seen ahead and goals that can be ac hieved. The logo was used for the first time in 1967.21. What does the author think of the stories of the great logo s?A. They are attractive.B. They are practical.C. They are boring.D. They are out of date.22. What does Nike’s logo stand for?A. The statue of the Greek goddess.B. The wing of theGreek goddess.C. The goddess of victory.D. The source of inspiration for soldiers.23. We can learn that Apple’s present logo is ______.A. Newton’s sitting under an apple treeB. the rainbow-colored bitten appleC. the religious story of Adam and EveD. a bitten apple with only one color24. Which of the following time orders describes the births of t he great logos?A. McDonald’s– Apple – Nike – Mercedes Benz.B. Nike – Mercedes Benz –McDonald’s– Apple.C. Mercedes Benz –McDonald’s– Nike – Apple.D. Nike –McDonald’s– Apple – Mercedes Benz.BMuch of today’s science of physics is based on Newton’s di scovery of the three laws of motion and his theory of gravity (地球引力). Newton said, “If I saw further than other men, it was beca use I stood on the shoulders of giants.” One was the great Ital ian scientist, Galileo. Another was the Polish scientist Nicholas Copernicus, who had begun a scientific revolution. It led to a completely new understanding of how the universe worked. Galileo continued and expanded the work of Copernicus. New ton built on the ideas of these two scientists and others. He fo und and proved the answers for which they searched.Issac Newton was born in Woolsthorpe, England, on Decemb er 25th, 1642. He was born early and no one expected him to survive. He lived until he was 84. His father died before he wa s born. His mother married again. He lived with his grandma o n the family farm.As a boy, he liked to make things. He also decided to find a di fferent way to measure the speed of the wind. On a windy day , he measured how far he could jump with the wind at his bac k. Then he measured how far he could jump with the wind in h is face. From the difference between the two jumps, he made his own measure of the strength of the wind. Strangely, Newt on became a much better student after a boy kicked him in th e stomach. The boy was one of the best of the students in the school. Newton decided to get even with him by getting highe r marks than the boy kicking him. Newton became the top stu dent at the school very soon.25. As a boy, what was Newton like?A. He was too weak to survive.B. He was determined to study math.C. He liked to find out new ways to solve problems.D. He tended to study math on the family farm.26. We can know from the text that the theories of Newton, G alileo, and Copernicus focus on ______.A. how the universe worksB. the three laws of motionC. a scientific revolutionD. the theory of gravit y27. Which of the following can be the best title for the passag e?A. One of the history’s greatest scientists.B. Issac Newton---History’s greatest scientist.C. One of the world’s greatest scientists, Issac Newton.D. Issac Newton and his laws.CRush hour traffic is a problem in many big cities around the world. Commuters (上下班者) rush to and from their jobs in cars, buses, subways, trains, and even on bicycles. Large cities in the United States have two rush hours –– one in the morning and one in the evening. But in cities in ot her parts of the world, there are four rush hours. In Athens an d Rome, for example, many workers go home for lunch and a nap. After this midday break, they rush back to their jobs and work for a few more hours.In Tokyo, there’s a big rush hour underground. Most of the pe ople in Tokyo take the subways. The trains are very crowded. Subway employees called packers wear white gloves and hel p pack the commuters into the trains when the doors close. T hey make sure that all purses, briefcases, clothes, and hands are inside the trains.In Seoul, many commuters prefer to take taxis to get to work. To hail a cab，many people stand at crossroads and raise two fingers. This means they’ll pay the cab driver double the usual fare. Some people even raise three fingers! They’ll pay three times the no rmal rate.Streets in Rome are very crowded with automobiles and mop eds (摩托自行车) during rush hours. The city can’t make its streets wider, an d it can’t build new highways, because it doesn’t want to distu rb the many historic sites in the city, such as the Forum and the Coliseum. It took the city fifteen years to construct a new su bway system. Construction had to stop every time workers fo und old artifacts and discovered places of interest to archaeol ogists (考古学家).In many big cities, there are special lanes on highways for car pools. These are groups of three or more people who drive to and from work together. They share the costs of gas and park ing and take turns driving into the city.28. Big cities have traffic problems during rush hours because there are _______.A. special lanes on highwaysB. many commutersC. four rush hoursD. many cars on the street29. Most of the commuters in Tokyo _______.A. take subway trains to workB. are packersC. take taxis to workD. carry briefcase s to work30. To “hail a cab” in Paragraph 3 means to _______.A. pay double the normal fareB. try to get a cabC. prefer to take taxisD. to stand at cro ssroads31. Commuters in carpools probably _______.A. live in the cityB. take the subway to workC. save money on gas and parking feeD. have special li cense plates (牌照)DHow do you get a man to do his share of the housework? If yo u are like most women, you’ve faced this question the hard w ay.A man will enjoy a clean, orderly house, but he usually won’t make the effort to clean or organise it. This doesn’t mean that a woman has to do all the housework; she may have to mana ge many of the household duties, and request her partner’s p articipation. A woman can often say that men and women sho uld take equal responsibility for housework.Very few men are raised to be fully responsible for housework , and many men look on housework as women’s work. On the other hand, most men will readily work around the yard, mak e repairs and complete projects on weekends or evenings, an d it’s important that you give your man appreciation for those t hings, too. Most men will take on a little additional housework around the house if asked politely. They are even more likely t o do housework if they can choose what they want to do, and do it without being monitored.Here’s the key: men want to feel that they are doing house work either because they want to do a task, or because they s imply want to please their women. Men are much less likely to take on household tasks they consider uninteresting and uni mportant. In other words, men are likely to do a household tas k just for the good of the house.32. The passage is mainly about how to ______.A. get men to take on some houseworkB. get men to se rve their familiesC. praise men’s houseworkD. make men do all the hous ework33. According to the passage, a man ______.A. is willing to do houseworkB. likes to be told to do houseworkC. is taught to be responsible for housework from childhoodD. likes a clean house but doesn’t make efforts to clean it34. In order to get men to do some housework, women should often ______.A. order them to do their shareB. ask them to do some h ousework politelyC. blame men’s lazinessD. monitor men’s work35. According to the passage, the underlined sentence in the last paragraph means that men won’t ______.A. work without any paymentB. do unimportant househol d tasksC. do housework without women’s praiseD. please their wives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填入空白处的最佳选项并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

We all experience momentary bursts of anger every now and then. For the most part, though, these relatively minor annoyances are easy to deal with, but walking back your anger when you're having a heated conversation with someone is a lot more difficult. There are things you can do in the moment to calm yourself, though.1. Acknowledge that you're angry.When you're angry,you notice it in your body. 32 If you're not physically feeling it, you might hear it in the sound of your voice.Once you notice this, try to adjust your voice. Just as increasing anger can correspond to an increasingly loud voice, so can the opposite. 332. Give yourself a time out.How do you do the exercise above when you're in the middle of a face-to-face conversation? Call a personal timeout. Walking away gives you time to calm down and collect your thoughts before responding. This also aids in decreasing anger.Of course, don't just peace out of the argument. Let whoever you're talking to know that you just need a little physical space.3. Ask yourself what emotion is behind the anger.34 More often than not, anger is a “secondary emotion” we use as a mask or a defense for an entirely different feeling (shame, for instance, or embarrassment).Once you're aware of the real emotions at play, you can communicate it to the person you snapped at. Also, you'd apologize to your co-worker and perhaps consider asking your manager to lighten your workload.4.35Let's say you've taken the advice above, but you're still feeling heated. If so,changing the topic of conversation can also be a good way to cope with anger in the moment. 36 If you were discussing something serious-or something that needs to be explained finally-table the discussion for later or the next day, when you calm down.A. Change the subject of the conversation.B. Stop the conversation with your partner.C. Anger will do damage to your lungs and heart.D.Try responding to your loud voice by gradually lowering it.E.Now that you've calmed down, think about what's motivating your anger.F.Make a joke and reroute the conversation to a safe, calm, enjoyable dialogue.G. Anger will often cause changes in our body, such as muscle tension or sore neck.七选五：32—36 GDEAF山东省实验中学2020-2021学年度第一学期期中考试高二英语试题第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

Mary waited anxiously for her turn in the empty dressing room.Never had she been so nervous before. This competition was of vital importance to her comeback(复出）。

After the medical treatment, she began to recover slowly. She practiced over and over again in order to regain her dancing skills.“Hi, Mary,” in rushed her friend Jessica. “How is your arm? Is it going to influence your performance?”＂I guess it can be tolerated for I am to win the match,"said Mary with a determined look.“Admirable! But I hear that a girl called Linda is really gifted and strong. She can be your real well-matched e on!”After Jessica left,Mary decided to practice her most difficult spin. “If I don't try harder,I won't grasp this chance."She thought.But her arm began to hurt,making her worried."Mary, what makes you think you have a chance tonight?"she said to herself. After the pain was gone, she continued to warm up.A slim girl hurried in and put down an equipment bag on the chair. Then,she took out her dance dress quickly and put it on skillfully. Seeing Mary,she smiled politely and said "Hi,I'm Linda. I am the next one!" Mary nodded in reply but felt uncomfortable."This is just my competitor.Because of her,I may lose tonight."Her mind was wandering when Linda let out a scream,"Oh,God,I can't find my music tape!"Linda searched her bag but in vain. "It may be missing on the way."With these words,she then rushed out.注意：1.续写词数应为150左右；2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。

a few.They aim to provide you all of the tools you need to succeed in basketball and in life.The National Basketball AcademyThe National Basketball Academy（also known as TNBA）partners with NBA teams like the Bucks and Pacers to provide camps，clinics，and training for basketball players of all ages.TNBA operates inMilwaukee，Orlando，Houston，Indiana，and Cleveland.It also operates in many other nations around the world such as Brazil，France，Argentina，and Spain.These camps and clinics range from a single day to multiple weeks.They also host various tournaments（锦标赛）so you can show off the skills you havelearned.（1）What do we know about PGC basketball camps？A.They have the most camps.B.They are mainly aimed at little kids.C.They hire some former NBA coaches.D.Not only students of PCC can join them.（2）What do NBC Basketball Camps and the National Basketball Academy have incommon？A.They focus on teamwork.B.They hold various tournaments.C.They only offer long﹣term camps.D.They operate both at home and abroad.（3）If you want to work with some NBA players，which camp should you choose？A.A PGC basketball camp.B.A Nike basketball camp.C.A NBC basketball camp.D.A TNBA basketball camp.4．（8分）When students and parents are asked to rate subjects according to their importance，the arts are unavoidably at the bottom of the list.Music is nice，people seem to say，but not important.Too often it is viewed as entertainment，but certainly not an education priority（优先）.This view is shortsighted.In fact，music education is beneficial and important for all students.Music tells us who we are，because music is an expression of the beings who create it，it reflects their thinking and values，as well as the social environment it came from.Rock music represents a lifestyle just as surely as does a Schubert song.The jazz influence that George Gershwin and other musicians introduced into their music is obviously American because it came from American musical traditions.Music expresses our character and values.It gives us identity as a society.Music provides a kind of perception（感知）that cannot be acquired any other way.Science can explain how the sun rises and sets.The arts explore the emotive（情感的）meaning of the same phenomenon.We need every possible way to discover and respond to our world for one simple but powerful reason：No one way can get it all.The arts are forms of thought as powerful in what they communicate as mathematical and scientific symbols.They are ways we human beings"talk"to each other.They are the language of civilizationthrough which we express our fears，our curiosities，our hungers，our discoveries，our hopes.The arts are ways we give form to our ideas and imagination so that they can be shared with others.When we do not give children access to an important way of expressing themselves such as music，we take away from them the meanings that music expresses.Science and technology do not tell us what is means to be human.The arts do.Music is an important way we express human suffering，celebration，the meaning and value of peace and love.So music education is far more necessary than people seem to realize.（1）According to Paragraph1，students.A.regard music as a way of entertainmentB.disagree with their parents on educationC.view music as an overlooked subjectD.prefer the arts to science（2）In Paragraph2，the author uses jazz an example to.pare it with rock musicB.show music identifies a societyC.introduce American musical traditionsD.prove music influences people's lifestyles（3）According to the passage，the arts and science.A.approach the world from different anglesB.explore different phenomena of the worldC.express people's feeling in different waysD.explain what it means to be human differently（4）What is the main idea of the passage？A.Music education deserves more attention.B.Music should be of top education priority.C.Music is an effective communication tool.D.Music education makes students more imaginative. 5．（8分）New research into a long﹣lived tree has shown some of the tricks that have helped it survive for thousands of years.The ginkgo（银杏树）is a huge，slow﹣growing tree with fan﹣shaped leaves，native to China，but planted in parks and gardens across the world.Some of the largest ginkgoes are said to be more than3，000years old.In order to discover how these and other trees can live for so long，scientists from the US and China studied34healthy ginkgoes of different ages.The team studied growth rings in each tree's trunk（树干），as well as cells（细胞）from the bark，leaves and seeds.They found that600﹣year﹣old trees were just as healthy as2﹣year﹣olds.To learn more，the team then looked in detail at the DNA of nine trees aged between three and667 years old.DNA is the chemical in the cells of plants and animals that holds instructions that tell any living thing how to grow and develop﹣including what to do at different times in its life.At the beginning of a tree's life，DNA instructs the cells in a seedling to divide quickly so the tree grows rapidly.The cells also make special chemicals to help the young plant survive difficult situations，such as disease.As most treesgrow older，their DNA tells their cells to divide more slowly（so growth slows down）and to make fewer chemical defenses（防御）.Ginkgoes，however，do things differently.The team found that although their growth finally slows，both young and old trees make protective chemicals."The secret is keeping a really healthy defense system，"said researcher Richard Dixon."As ginkgoes age，they show no sign of weakening their ability to defend themselves from things like disease."Other trees that live for a long time may have the same ability.For all their defenses，though，ginkgoes cannot live forever﹣﹣they finally meet with deadlyaccidents such as fire，disease and storms.While they last，however，these leafy trees are some of the most beautiful trees in the world.（1）What do we know about ginkgoes？A.They first grew in China.B.The oldest ones are3，000years old.C.They are little known to the public.D.They are the oldest plants.（2）How did the researchers carry out their study？A.They mainly studied the trunks of ginkgoes.B.They studied ginkgo cells.C.They studied600different ginkgoes.D.They mainly studied old ginkgoes.（3）What is common in the life of most trees？A.Old trees are unhealthy.B.Their cells divide quickly.C.Young trees catch disease easily.D.They grow more and more slowly.（4）What's the secret of ginkgoes living so long？A.They produce special chemicals.B.Old trees grow as fast as young ones.C.Their defense system is comparatively strong.D.They meet with fewer diseases and accidents. 6．（8分）American track and field athlete Jacqueline Joyner﹣Kersee once said，"Age is no barrier.It's a limitation you put on your mind."And50﹣year﹣old Indian Lakyntiew Syiemlieh stands an evidence for this saying.She recently cleared her Class12board kytiew，who has four children and two grandchildren，decided to go after her higher secondary education over three decades after dropping outof school.Earlier this year，she was one of the24，267students who appeared for the state board's Higher Secondary School Leaving

results were declared，"said Lakyntiew.In fact，the grandmother of two has expressed her interest in pursuing（追求）higher studies in the field of local kyntiew took up a distance education course offered by a university in2015.She stopped going to school because mathematics was too difficult for her to understand.She was offered a job to teach in a preschool in2008，and that was the beginning of her love for re﹣learning.Being the oldest student in the class，most of Lakyntiew's classmates called her as"Mei"，which means"mother"in the local language.Besides concentrating on academics，she also participated in after ﹣class activities like field trips，dance competitions，and singing challenges，among others.Age is not a problem when one is in search of kyntiew Syiemlieh is an example for everybody，and especially for those who give up studies midway.（1）When did Lakyntiew probably drop out of school？A.In2008.B.In1998.C.In1988.D.In1968.（2）Which of the following caused Lakyntiew to stop

Now, I’d like to share some of my ideas with you. Personally, I hold that the content of the newspaper should be colorful, including introduction of learning methods as well as materials connected to our lessons. For example, the newspaper can regularly provide different articles about Western culture and custom, which will surely help us know more about the outside world, thus broadening our horizon. In addition, it would be better to set a special column where we can express our feelings and emotions. We really need such a place to release our pressure freely and meanwhile practice expressing ourselves in English.I truly hope that you can take my suggestions into full consideration. Yours sincerelyLi Hua。

期中英语试卷一、阅读理解（本大题共10小题，共20.0分）A"Where there are Chinese speakers，there are his readers．" That sentence highlights the huge influence of Louis Cha Leungyung，better known by his pen name Jin Yong，one of the most famous Chinese novelists．Over 300 million copies of his books have been sold in the Chinese-speaking world alone．Cha died on Tuesday afternoon，at the age of 94，in Hong Kong Sanatorium and Hospital，surrounded by family members，according to sources close to him．This news recorded 1.27 billion views，slightly less than China's population，on Sina Weibo．In 1955，Cha published his first wuxia novel The Book and the Sword in the then New Evening Post using the pen name Jin Yong．He wrote 15 popular wuxia novels，his last，The Deer and the Cauldron，was published in 1972．His novels have been made into films，TV and radio series，and deeply influenced the cultural development of Chinese-speaking communities around the world．In May，1967，when there were violent conflicts（冲突）between the local police and some striking workers in Hong Kong，Cha wrote articles for newspaper all week calling for an end to the violence and for society to unite．In a most important of them，he wrote："We come from all regions and now we are one community．Hong Kong is home to us all．" In their condolences （吊唁）to his family，many people called Cha a "hero" even though he considered himself a writer of hero stories．That's because of the humanistic （人道主义）concerns in both his novels and his newspaper articles．In all his wuxia stories，he makes his anti-war attitude clear．In The Legend of the Condor Heroes，one of his most famous novels，he wrote how Genghis Khan was moved by the hero's words and regretted his killings before his death．1.Which do we know about Cha's wuxia novels？______A. More than 300 million copies of them have been sold all over China．B. The first of them was published with his real name．C. They are the most popular novels in China．D. They had a huge influence on Chinese speakers in the world．2.Why did people call Cha a "hero"？______A. Because he wrote many stories about heroes．B. Because he conveyed humanistic value in his worksC. Because he once stopped the violence in Hong Kong．D. Because he was very successful in his career．3.What is the author's purpose in writing the text？______A. To highlight Cha's influence on Hong Kong．B. To introduce the Wuxia novels written by Cha．C. To remember Cha as a great writer．D. To spread the values held by Cha．BPet lovers were very angry．Last May，a news article appeared online that said three states had passed laws limiting the number of pets each household could have to only two．The news spread quickly，as many people shared the article on Facebook and other social media sites．But pet owners had nothing to worry about-----the article was made-up．Many fake news articles are harmless，but others might have played a role in real-world events．When it comes to online news，even adults can have a hard time separating fact from fiction．Education experts say kids should start learning how to tell the difference early on．Of course，there are plenty of reputable websites you can visit to read the news．Well-known news organizations such as The New York Times and the Associated Press，have their own sites．But many other online news sources aren't always trustworthy．And many students have trouble spotting when articles aren't entirely true or are trying to persuade them to think in a certain way．Real news organizations can make mistakes，especially when they have to report quickly on breaking news stories．But they usually print corrections．However，why would someone purposely publish an article that isn't true？The most common reason is to make money．Websites are paid by the companies that post ads on them．Companies want to place their ads on sites that get a lot of visitors．So people create fake news articles with attention-grabbing headlines to try to get users to click on them．Some of the biggest websites are trying to stop the flow of fake news．Last November，Facebook and Google banned fake news sites from advertising on their pages．Facebook is also working with fact-checking organizations to identify and flag fake articles．But experts say the best way to slow the spread of fake news is for people to be more skeptical（怀疑的）of what they read online．4.What's the main idea of the text？______A. People create fake news stories to make money．B. The growing trend of fake news raises concerns．C. It is necessary to be able to recognize fake news．D. Most people can easily pick out a fake news article．5.What does the underlined word "reputable" in Paragraph 3 mean？______A. popular．B. resourcefulC. officialD. reliable6.What is the best way to reduce the influence of fake news？______A. Commanding news organizations to print corrections quickly．B. Banning companies from placing advertisements on websites．C. Encouraging readers to be doubtful about what they read onlineD. Developing the system of fact-checking and flagging fake newsCI grew up in an age of delayed gratification（满意），when I had to wait for almost everything．The mail came once a day，and I recall the thrill of expectation when expecting my issue of Mad magazine or some cheap items I had ordered．Classic movies were shown on television，and the only way to learn about them was a week before from TV．And，of course，one had to be home at the fixed time to watch them．And then the banks did business on weekdays only．They opened at 9 and closed at 4．Such was the world as recently as the 1970s．Everything seemed to operate on a strict clock．This was the way things worked ，and it was all we knew．And then，seemingly overnight，everything changed．It suddenly seemed as if I never had to be anywhere at a certain time，because we could get everything whenever we want．But rather than being charmed by what we have gained，I am gently disturbed by what waslost．Having to wait for almost everything meant living a life at a slower pace．When one is faced with fixed schedules，one has no choice but to wait．In this way patience is perfected．The changed times，on the other hand，have encouraged a constant sense of urgency，which sounds unreasonable：If we can have anything we want anytime we want it，shouldn't we be less hurried？The answer is that an "on demand" lifestyle has created a desire for speed．If I can have something this fast，why can't I have it faster？And on this sunny day，as a gentle form of fighting against the demands of a hurried age，I went to the supermarket and bought three fresh lemons．Carefully，and with no sense of needing to be anywhere else or do anything else，I squeezed（挤）them into a tall glass．Then I filled the glass with cold water，ice，and a tea spoon of sugar．Fresh lemonade in hand，I went outside，sat in my lawn chair and looked out over the river，enjoying the drink．7.By describing the world before the 1970's，the writer proved that people ______ ．A. preferred everything scheduled in advanceB. lived a life around the clockC. enjoyed the delight of a slow paced lifeD. had a strong sense of time in their life8.The writer's attitude towards the "on demand" lifestyle was ______ ．A. supportiveB. indifferentC. tolerantD. negative9.What did the writer think we have lost？______A. The quality of patienceB. The sense of urgencyC. The preference for speedD. The choice of lifestyle10.Why did the writer buy fresh lemons from the supermarket？______A. To taste the delicious lemon juice．B. To experience the pleasure of living slowly．C. To show off her skills of making lemonade．D. To satisfy her desire for a hurried life．二、阅读七选五（本大题共5小题，共10.0分）In her essay Friends，Good Friends-and Such Good Friends，Judith Viorst creates a number of categories（分类）for Friendships．For her，some friendships are based on convenience，some on current shared interests，some on past shared history，some on accidental crossing-of-paths，and on and on．(1)I have just two categories of friends．(2) The short-term，low-investment（投资）category is a large and changeable group made up of people I've met since I moved to New Orleans eighteen months ago．My New Orleans friends are mostly classmates in my writing courses，people who see and comment my writing courses and whose writing I see and comment．(3) But they are also unstable（不稳定的）and possibly disappointing．This is because we often know each other better through reading each other's writing than we do through honest time spent together．Such knowledge and familiarity，without necessarily the investment created through conversation and shared experience，can create stresses that only some friendships can withstand．The long-term，high-investment category is primarily made up of people I left behind when I moved to New Orleans．(4) They are friends who know me，love me，and who can be counted on for anything，even though they live 1，500 miles away．I know these friends from the way they wash dishes to the way they choose a restaurant or drink their coffee．Every one of them was once a person in my life，standing in the low-investment category，and then slowly revealing him-- or herself through conflict as much as companionship．(5) And the work is hard．A．And the only difference between the two is time and lots of work．B．Such unimportant mental activity mentioned by her is beyond me．C．The change from low-investment to high-investment takes just that---Investment．D．In many ways，they are friends whose concern is only based on profit．E．These low-investment friendships are delightfully strong and serious at times．F．This is a stable and efficient group，whose numbers can be counted on one hand．G．Friends of the low-investment category are always trustworthy．11.

of food we eat．Bees make honey，but they also pollinate （授粉）large areas of crops，such as straw berries，apples and onions．Abouta third of the food we eat is a result of pollination of the bees．Unfortunately，bees havebeen disappearing at an alarming rate．In 2006，bee keepers started reporting about something called Colony Collapse Disaster （CCD）．The main sign of CCD is the loss of adult honey bees from a hive（蜂巢）．In October of 2006，some beekeepers reported that they had lost between 30 and 90 percent of their hives．There were many theories for the disappearance of the bees．But the most convincing one has to do with pesticides （杀虫剂）and lifestyles of bees today．Nowadays，beekeepers get most of their income not from producing honey but from renting bees to pollinateplants．This means that the life of the typical bee now consists of travelling all around the country to pollinate crops as the seasons change．That means a lot of traveling on trucks，which is very stressful to bees．It is not unusual for up to 30% of the hive to die during transport due to stress．In addition，bees that spend most of their time locked up on trucks are not exposed to what they usually live on．Instead，they live on a sweet liquid from corn，usually polluted with pesticides．The exact reason for the disappearance of bees is not sure，but losing bees is very costly to the economy．The bee pollination services are worth over $8 billion a year．With no bees，pollination will have to be done by hand，which would have effects on the quality of food and increased food priced．We hear a lot about big environmental disasters almost every day．But one of the biggest may just be the less of that tiny flying insect．答案和解析1.【答案】【小题1】D 【小题2】B 【小题3】C【解析】1．D．细节理解题．根据第一段内容Over 300 million copies of

want（我们可以随时得到我们想要的一切）相比，作者认为我们失去了耐心这种品质．故选A．（4）B．推理判断题．一开始作者就谈到很享受慢节奏生活的乐趣，在谈到现在快节奏的生活方式时，作者表达了自己的否定态度，最后一段作者从超市买新鲜的柠檬是为了"体验慢生活的乐趣"，和前面相呼应．故选B．本文为记叙文．作者享受慢节奏生活的乐趣而不喜欢现在这种快节奏的生活方式，他认为"随需应变"的生活方式让我们失去了耐心这种品质．本文主要涉及细节理解题和推理判断题．对于事实细节题，需要抓住整体大纲，看懂主题，利用内容间的因果关系来理解材料的内容，从而解决问题．推理判断题最主要的就是注重文章结构的逻辑关系，抓住关键词，结合有关的生活和社会常识，理清文章的结构层次、文章内容和文章的中心思想，推断作者的写作意图和写作目的，进行推断．11.【答案】【小题1】B

and on and on．对她来说，有些友谊是基于方便，有些是基于当前的共同兴趣，有些是关于过去的共同历史，有些是关于偶然交汇的朋友，还有一些是关于偶然交叉的朋友．可知她提到的这种不重要的精神活动，我是无法理解；故选B．2．A．推理判断题．根据后文The short-term， low-investment（投资） category is a large and changeable group made up of people I've met since I moved to N ew Orleans eighteen months ago．短期而言，低投资（投资）类别是一个由我18个月前搬到新奥尔良以来遇到的人组成的一个庞大而多变的群体．可知两者之间唯一的区别是时间和大量的工作；故选A．3．E．推理判断题．根据后文But they are also unstable（不稳定的） and possibly disappointing．他们也不稳定（不稳定的），而且可能令人失望．可知这些低投资的友谊有时是令人愉快的强烈而严肃的；故选E．4．F．推理判断题．根据前文The long-term， high-investment category is primarily made up of people I left behind when I moved to New Orleans．长期而言，高投资类别主要由我搬到新奥尔良时留下的人组成．可知这是一个稳定而有效的群，它的数目一方面可以计算出来；故选F．5．C．推理判断题．根据前文 Every one of them was once a person in my life， standing in the low-investment category ， and then slowly revealing him-- or herself through conflict as much as companionship．他们中的每一个人都曾是我生命中的一个人，站在低投资类别，然后通过冲突和陪伴慢慢暴露自己．可知从低投资到高投资的转变就意味着--投资；故选C．本文属于说明文阅读，作者通过这篇文章主要向我们描述了朱迪丝•维奥斯特在她的论文"好朋友"和"好朋友"中为友谊创建了许多类别（分类）．七选五阅读是完成性阅读，和完形填空很类似，不同的是一个选词，一个选句子．解题时，要注意上下文语境，充分考虑信息词（选项中和空格前后句子中相同或相近七的词），选出最符合语境的句子．16.【答案】【小题1】B

do、doing 还是done，同时，也要考虑该动作发生时间的先后以及与主语的关系（是主动关系还是被动关系），并填写相应的形式；c．在平时的模拟题中，有时还要根据句意填写该动词的名词形式，甚至是形容词或者副词形式．③给出的提示词是形容词：一般要考虑其副词形式以及比较级和最高级形式，同时还要关注是否要加表示否定或其它意义的前缀、后缀．2．无提示词填空的解题技巧按照考纲要求，无提示填空最多填3个单词，一般是填1个单词的，高考中考查的角度主要有：①代词：这类设空比较少，通常是根据句子意思填一个与语境相关的代词（通常是指示代词），这就要同学们认真体会句子意思了，在没有头绪时大胆猜想是否是填代词；②冠词：如果设空处后面是名词，那么可以考虑是否要填冠词，再根据句子意思分析是特指还是泛指，并填上合适的冠词，当然，在一些固定搭配中也会涉及冠词，这就要同学们做好积累了；37.【答案】Dear

Early British exploration of the classical world.BJohn Adams took office in 1797. Two major issues marked Adams’ presidency. The first involved America’s relations with France.France helped America win its war for independence from Britain. The friendship formed during the war continued afterward when Thomas Jefferson served as Minister to Paris. Relations began to go bad as soon as he returned home. The man who replaced him openly supported the losing side in the French revolution. After the revolution succeeded, the new French government demanded that he leave. Most Federalists(联邦主义者) didn’t want good relationships with France. T hey searched for any signs of insult(侮辱) and any excuse to declare war.President Adams wanted to improve relations with France through negotiations (协商). Yet he said the United States would strengthen its defenses. One incident, especially, brought the two nations close to war. It’s known in American history books as the “ X, Y and Z Affair ”.President Adams had appointed three ministers to negotiate with the French government. French officials kept these three men waiting for several weeks. While they waited, they had a visit from three Frenchmen---later called X,Y and Z. X,Y and Z told the Americans that France would sign an agreement if the United States did three things. It had to lend the French government twelve million dollars. It had to apologize for anti-French statements in a recent message from President Adams to the American Congress. And it had to pay the French foreign minister 250,000 dollars.The American ministers were willing to pay. But they wanted to sign the agreement first. The French foreign minister refused. First the money, then the agreement. The Federalists finally had the excuse they were looking for. France had insulted the United States. The only answer was war.24. Why did America and France have a good relationship at first?A. Because Thomas Jefferson worked hard on it.B. America supported the French revolution.C. America and France often helped each other.D. France helped America get away from Britain.25.What happened to the three ministers when they arrived in France?A. No one came to negotiate with them at first.B. They were treated very nicely.C. They were asked to apologize at once.D. They were watched over by three men.26. What was the excuse that the Federalists found?A. France hurt the three ministers.B. France looked down upon the United States.C. France asked for too much money.D. France was unwilling to sign the agreement.27. What is the passage mainly about?A. The relations between France and the US.B. John Adams’ great achievement as President.C. How the war between the US and France started.D. How the friendship between the US and France started.CWhen Mark Levine, an English-language instructor at Beijing’s Minzu University of China, was first invited to attend a Chinese colleague’s wedding in Jiangsu province in 2017, his second year in China, the California native was ready to present a small decorative gift for the new couple as he used to do in the United States.However, his gesture sudden ly didn’t seem proper as he realized the Chinese at the ceremony had red envelopes filled with cash to present rather than a packed gift.“It’s a little bit embarrassing when you present something that people didn’t expect to receive on certain occasions,” Levine, who used to be a social worker in the US, told China Daily recently.“In the US, people do that as well but only for close relatives. People would normally give things as presents, while here in China red envelopes are more commonly welcomed.”It was the first time the 66-year-old discovered the ceremony－including taboos(禁忌)－in gift giving. He was not alone, as the recent argument following a British minister’s visit to Taipei, Taiwan, revealed.British Minister of State for Transport Bar oness Susan Kramer presented a watch in January to Ko Wen-je, mayor of Taipei, when she visited the city, immediately sparking headlines as she broke a long-held taboo in Chinese culture.A clock or watch, or zhong in Mandarin, signifies “the end” in Chinese, and m any associate it with death. Therefore, giving someo ne, especially an elder, a clock or watch implies “your time is up”.Kramer later apologized for the gaffe（失礼）, but Ko was also blamed for his “rude” response as he told reporters that he had no use for the watch and would sell it for cash.However, some foreigners in China, such as Mark Dreyer, support Ko in this particular debate. “When I heard about the story, I felt embarrassed,” said Dreyer, a British citizen who has lived and worked in China since 2007. “After all, ‘don’t give clocks or watches to your hosts’ is on page 1 of most China travel guides. I’m embarrassed by the lack of respect shown by the British fornot even reading about the customs ahead of time.”28. What does the underlined word “that” in Paragraph3 refer to?A. Presenting gifts.B.

Here is what I think our schools should teach.Courtesy(礼貌)—The sooner our young people learn this, the better. Politeness and consideration are the signs of civilization. In any case, a lot more can be accomplished by a smile and good manners than with a PhD（博士学位）.Managing Money—Like it or not, for most of us, our adult lives will be consumed by the struggle for this. Is borrowing on a credit card a good thing? How do you live within your means? No one should be expected to pick this up after leaving school (or worse, after getting a job). We have a responsibility to teach our young people this basic skill from the beginning.Health—Kids should learn to take care of their bodies. They should know that if they eat junk food, they will become fat and unhealthy. They should be very clear about what happens to their bodies when they drink, smoke, or take drugs.Society—The idea here is that all of us are part of something much bigger. We have rights and responsibilities. We ought to understand what they are, and why they are that way. We have to know a little bit of our immediate history and geography, because we need to have a context in which to relate to the people around us.Are these subjects too “low-brow”? Perhaps. Don’t get me wrong: science and literature are important. There will always be a place in the world for quantum (量子) physicists and Shakespearean scholars. But our schools cannot be designed to enable the best and the brightest to excel(胜出). They must also equip the weakest among us to survive.32. What would be the best title for the passage?A.

Science and literature are the most important for school education.D. students don’t have to know about rights and responsibilities.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填入空白处的最佳选项。
