His face turned red but still, he put the salt in his coffee and drank it. She asked him 31 , "Why you have this hobby?" He replied, "When I was a little boy, I lived near the sea.

It was called“Incidents of Travel in Central America, Chiapas and Yucatan”. The author John Loud Stephens had just returned from a long, difficult and dangerous journey through the thick rain forest of southern Mexico and Guatemala. He had once been there with Frederick Catherwood, an architect and artist, to search for the remains of a lost civilization known as the Mayas(玛雅).Very little was known about the Mayas at that time, but Catherwood’s drawing in the book showed incredible cities with temples, pyramids and other buildings as impressive as those of their northern neighbors, the Aztecs. These cities, however, were deserted. The inhabitants(居民)had disappeared almost a thousand years before.Since that time, far more has been learned about this remarkable civilization. The Mayas had a highly developed system of government and of agriculture, as well as an incredibly accurate system of measuring time. They were also wonderful engineers capable of moving huge blocks stone long distances and cutting them to accurate shapes and sizes.And yet although the Mayas knew about the wheel, they never used it. Neither did they use metals other than copper. What is ever more surprising is that they suddenly abandoned many of their cities and built new ones in the jungle. Some time around AD900, Mayan civilization collapsed. By the year 1200, their last great capital, Chichen Itza, was deserted.Who were these strange people and the even stranger gods they worshipped(崇拜)? What brought about their sudden andmysterious collapse? Some writers have tried to prove that the Mayas had contact with visitors from space and even that they themselves came from another planet. Some people believe that their civilization came to an end because the Mayas never developed a proper resistance to local germs and diseases. All we really know is that when the first Europeans appeared off their coast in 1517, this great and mysterious culture was only a memory.46.Stephen’s book astonished the world because .A.it was the first time people heard about MayasB.the Mayas were excellent builders and farmersC.he had experienced so may difficulties to find this lost civilizationD.it described that the Mayas used to be an advanced civilization47.One of the most surprising findings about Mayas was that .A.they developed accurate system measuring timeB.they knew how to build pyramids with stonesC.they deserted their cities and moved to new onesD.they built cities which they never lived in48.Mayas civilization collapsed probably in .A.a thousand years before 1841B.around AD 900C.any year between 1200 and 1517D.AD120049.What brought about Mayan sudden collapse?A.Tropical germs and diseasesB.European conquestC.Mysterious force from outer spaceD.No one knows for sureB篇The food we eat seems to have a great effect on our health. Although science has made big steps in making food more fit toeat, it has, at the same time, made many foods unfit to eat. Some research has shown that perhaps eighty percent of human illness is related to food and forty percent of cancer is related to food as well. That food is related to illness is not a new discovery. In 1945, some researchers realized that things commonly used to keep colour in meats and other food additives(添加剂)caused cancer.Yet, these additives remain in our food, and it is difficult to know which things on the wrappings(包装)of foods are helpful or harmful. The additives which we eat are not all so direct. Farmers often give penicillin to their animals, and because of this, penicillin has been found in the milk of cows. Sometimes similar things are supplied to animals not for their health, but just to make a profit.The farmers are simply trying to fatten the animals in order to get a higher price on the market. Although some countries have tried to control such things, the practice continues.50. According to this passage, we can know .A. perhaps most of human illness is caused by what we eatB. perhaps most kinds of cancer are related to what people eatC. cancer was discovered in 1945D. science has made food unfit to eat51. Things that are used to keep colours in meats are .A. harmfulB. uselessC. helplessD. dangerous52. All the additives .A. are bright and colourlessB. are not bright and colourfulC. have indirect effects on our healthD. have direct effects on our health53. People use additives .A. to make food more unfit to eatB. to improve the colour and taste of the foodC. to change colour of the foodD. to take off the diseases of the food54. Which of the following is not true?A. Some wrappings of food are harmful.B. Farmers try to make more money on the market by fattening their animals.C. “The practice continues” means “things are still going on like that”.D. We needn’t take care of what we eat.人教版高三英语必修4Unit 4期末单元复习试题答案1-5 ACACC6-10 CBDBC11-15CCBDD16-20ACBBD21-25CAADB26 – 45 ABCAD BDACC ABDCA BBACD46-54 DCBD AACBD。

AAs the saying goes, “Without music, life would be a mistake.” Music is very important in our lives and here are four of the greatest musicians in history.Ludwig van Beethoven (1770-1827)Born in Bonn, Germany, Beethoven never held an official position in Vienna. He supported himself by giving concerts, teaching piano, and the sale of his compositions(作品). The last 30 years of Beethoven’s life were filled with a lot of hard times, the first o f which was his deafness. Beethoven’s music greatly influenced the next generation of musicians.Johann Sebastian Bach(1685-1750)Bach, “the father of modern music”, was born in Eisenach, Germany. His parents died when he was nine years old, and in 1695 he went to live with his brother Johann Christoph, who was an organist(风琴手) in Ohrdruf. He stayed there until 1700. Eight years later, he moved back to Weimar, where he served as court organist for nine years. His music greatly influenced classical music.Frédéric Chopin(1810-1849)Chopin was born in Warsaw, Poland. He showed a talent for the piano at a very young age. Chopin began composing when he was still a child, but some of his early works have been lost. He gave his first public concert in 1818. Chopin was considered as the leading musician of his time.Franz Schubert(1797-1828)Schubert was born and died in Vienna. Unlike most of his predecessors, Schubert was not a great performer. He never had much money but he was very productive. He wrote his first masterpiece when he was only sixteen. However, he died young, before his talents had even been known.1. Beethoven did not make a living by ________.A. teaching studentsB. giving concertsC. selling his worksD. doing business2. Bach worked as an organist in Weimar until ________.A. 1765B. 1707C. 1750D. 17173. What do we know about the four musicians?A. They all lived a hard life at their old age.B. They were all talented musicians.C. They became famous at a young age.D. They were all good at playing the piano.BWho would have thought that potato fries could unite an entire country? Well, that seems to be the case in Belgium where there is currently a movement to have Belgian potato fries officially recognized as cultural heritage.The fries are served in a paper cone(圆锥体) from a “fritkot”, which is a shack(小屋) or a food truck. Across Belgium, there are at least 5, 000 fritkots which is 10 times more common than McDonald's restaurants in the United States.The movement for the fries to be declared official cultural heritage was started by UNAFRI, also known as the national association of fritkot owners. They claim that their establishments represent Belgium very well. “A cone of potato chips is Belgium in miniature(微模型). What's amazing is that this way of thinking is the same, in spite of differences among communities and regions,” added spokesman Bernard Lefevre.Tourists can even be seen to line up with locals in Brussels to buy a cone of fries from well－known fritkots such as Frit F lagey and Maison Antoine. “Before I came here, the only thing I knew about Belgium was that they liked their fries,” said Rachael Webb, a tourist from Ottowa, Canada.In order to be recognized by UNESCO, it has to be formally supported by the Belgian government of culture.As of right now, UNESCO has a list of 314 items of “cultural heritage” that they say is worthy enough to be preserved. Items on the list include Turkish coffee and the old native singing of the Central African Republic.Potatoes reached Belgium in the 16th century, but it wasn't until the 19th century that they were cut up into fries and sold as a meal.4.It is considered that potato fries could unite Belgium because they________.represent Belgian history B. are enjoyed by many BelgiansC. make a huge profit each yearD. are recognized by foreigners5. The movement to have potato fries declared cultural heritage was started by________.A. the Belgian governmentB. many Belgian communitiesC. a Belgian industryD. a Belgian cultural association6. From the passage, we can know that Maison Antoine________.A. is a popular Belgian tourist destinationB. is very welcome among CanadiansC. is a famous restaurant in BelgiumD. is a big international company7. It can be inferred from the passage that foods and drinks________.A. are thought to be a symbol of national achievementB. are regarded as a culture by many peopleC. express ideas of a particular periodD. record the traditions of a regionCWildlife faces threats from habitat destruction, pollution and other human actions. Although protecting wildlife can seem difficult at times, even small actions in your own neighborhood can help protect many different animals. As the saying goes, “Think globally and act locally.” You can protect wild life for future generations.Create wildlife-friendly areas in your backyard. When choosing your lawn and landscaping, choose native plants that can provide food or living places for native wildlife. This will also help cut down on pollution. Add bird or bat houses to your yard or garden to attract these species and offer places to them to live in.Avoid disrupting(扰乱) the natural ecosystem in our area. Non-native plants or animals can destroy habitats, particularly if there is no natural predator(捕食性动物) to keep the species in a certain amount. They can kill or disturb native plants that provide food and living places for wildlife.Practice a greener lifestyle. By saving water and fossil fuels, you will be helping to protect the wildlife around you. Take public transportation when you can, turn off electric devices when you’re not using them, take shorter showers and keep your heat at or below 20°C during the winter. Become knowledgeable about what can cause global warming, which disrupts migration patterns and habitats.Buy products that are wildlife-friendly. Avoid products that are made from threatened or endangered animals. Keep in mind that some endangered animals are killed by traps, or hunters who are after other wildlife within the same habitat.Talk to or write to policymakers about protecting wildlife. Write letters to a local newspaper. Discuss ways to help animals with friends and family members.Limit the family size. Population growth is one of the major factors in habitat destruction. By living in established city limits and limiting the family size to around two children per family, the earth’s population will stabilize(稳定) and native habitats can be protected.8. What’s the main idea of the first paragraph?A. It is impossible to protect wildlife.B. You can protect wildlife by taking small actions.C. Protecting wildlife needs ideas rather than actions.D. Humans are big threats to wildlife in fact.9. What should we do to protect wildlife?A. Stop non-native plants and animals destroying the natural ecosystem.B. Know more knowledge about wildlife.C. Increase the number of the population in the world.D. Write letters about animals to your friends.10. Which of the following can be taken as a greener lifestyle?A. Planting native trees in your backyard.B. Keeping the water above 20°C when you are bathing.C. Taking a bus when you are going out.D. Only eating vegetables.11. What’s the best title for the text?A. Why global warming affects wildlifeB. Whether we are friendly to wildlifeC. What makes wildlife endangeredD. How we can protect wildlifeDStarbucks says it uses one billion plastic straws(吸管) every year, but it plans to stop the use of plastic straws in each of its 28, 000 stores across the globe. Starbucks’ announc ement comes just a week after Seattle, the city where the first Starbucks opened, forbade plastic straws.In order to replace the straws, Starbucks has developed a new lid(盖子) for some of its drinks like iced coffee and tea. Actually, the lid has a raised lip. Some people have compared the new lids to “adult sippy cups”, CNN Business reported.Starbucks is always saying it is a company that cares much about the environment. In recent years, awareness about the effect that plastic is having on the environment—in particular, the ocean—has caused scientists to sound the alarm about a need to curb the use of plastics.“What we realize is that these billions of little things in the ocean, such as one man’s toothbrush, one lady’s comb, all can cause the problem,” Emily Penn said. She is the co-founder of an expedition(探险队).“But what makes us happy is that we can solve it well through our daily actions. We need billions of small actions—just little daily things to reduce the pollution.”Customers who still want to enjoy a Starbucks drink with a straw will be able to request one, but it won’t be plastic. Instead, they will be given a straw made from paper or other eco-friendly materials.In May, McDonald’ s said it would experience a change from the use of plastic to paper straws in Ireland and the United Kingdom. The announcement from Starbucks could be a sign that more large chain restaurants will accept this kind of activity.12.How does Starbucks serve customers without using plastic straws?By selling iced drinks.By providing cups without lids.By using spoons to replace straws.By providing a new kind of cups.13. What does the underlined word “curb” in Paragraph 3 mean?A．Stop. B．Notice. C．Control. D．Report.14. According to Emily Penn, what can be the main cause of sea pollution?A. Plastic alarms.B. Some special lids.C. Paper straws in the ocean.D. Small things thrown into the sea.15. What might be the best title for the passage?A. Starbucks Will Stop Using Plastic StrawsB. Starbucks Is Trying to Reduce Sea PollutionC. Starbucks Will Invent a New Kind of StrawsD. Starbucks Is Trying to Attract More Customers第二节七选五（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。

ANearly 25% of the entire U.S. population are likely to hit the road during the holidays this year. We’ve picked the best road food stops along some of the South’s most traveled interstates (州际公路).Ⅰ-35 | Ssan Antonio, TX, to Oklahoma City, OKFancy That | Exit 109, Norman, OK | Miles from the interstate: 2.8This downtown store offers a sit-down “classic lunch” for $8 that includes an entrée (主菜) and a side: a big meatball sandwich, perhaps, with a strawberry, blue cheese, or a fat BLT on Texas toast with a salad.215 East Main Street; 236/908–2209; Babe’s Chicken Dinner House | Exit 477, Sanger, Texas | Miles from the interstate: 0.8You’ll find yourself at Babe’s by the 10-foot-tall chicken standing outside the front door of this store. But here’s the real draw: golden fried chicken and chicken-fried steak, served with family-style sides.202 North Fourth street; 116/498–1208; Ⅰ- 40 | Nashville, TN, to Wilmington, NCThe Feed Bag Restaurant | Exit 174, Farmington, NC | Miles from the interstate: 2.2Located in a former general store down a country road, this simple country restaurant serves fresh, local food with zero cheats and tricks.2339 NC Highway 801 North; 336/998–1109Sunrise Biscuit Kitchen | Exit 270, Chapel Hill, NC | Miles from the interstate: 1.8Sunrise is the sandwich king —there’s nothing like these giant biscuits filled with eggs, sausage, cheese, or whatever filling you’d like. It’s drive-through only —perfect for when you don’t have time to stop and sit. Just get there before 2:30 p.m., when they close.1305t Franklin Street; 919/933–132421. If you are interested in meatball sandwiches, which telephone number will you call?A. 116/498 – 1208.B. 336/998 – 1109.C. 919/933 – 1324.D. 236/908 – 2209.22.

Being close to the interstates.BThere is a little girl called Lisa, who is five years old, and one day a friend invited her to a party held at a gym where Lisa discovered that she loved doing gymnastics.A few nights after the party, Lisa had a dream. She told her mother, Jahira, about the dream. Jahira said, “Lisa said that in her dream she went to the Olympics. She described everything at this international competition. At first I did not take her story seriously. ”But Lisa kept talking about her dream. She told it to her father, David. So Jahira and David decided to pay for Lisa to learn gymnastics. So Lisa started to train at a special and competitive gym. Though only 7 years old, she was already training to compete at a high level. The years passed quickly. Lisa got better and better. By the time she was 12 years old, Lisa was training so many hours each day that she did not have time to do things that many other Americans of the same age did.When Lisa was 13, she had a chance to compete in a national gymnastics event. If she did well, the event would give her the chance to join the national team — the team that trains for the Olympics.But the family was out of money. Jahira had to tell Lisa that she could not go. Jahira said, “Tears came to her eyes, and she said, ‘I understand.’”A week or two later, a rich family came to visit Lisa’s gym unexpectedly. They watched Lisa train. Then they asked to talk to her mother. The rich family offered Jahira all the money they needed!Eventually, Lisa competed at the 2012 Olympic trials. She finished 10th in all rounds.24. Lisa had a dream to .A. go to the partyB. do gymnasticsC. take part in the OlympicsD. attend a national competition25. From the passage, we can infer that .A. Lisa’s parents were tired of her talking about her dreamB. Lisa’s parents loved her and were moved by herC. Lisa’s mother supported her dream even at the beginningD. Lisa became a national team player at the age of twelve26. What does the author want to tell us?A. Knowledge is a measure, but practice is the key to it.B. Wherever you go, go with all your heart.C. Nothing is to be got without pain but poverty.D. God blesses the determined and hard-working.27. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?A. A Talented GirlB. The Caring ParentsC. An Olympic DreamD. A Helping HandCPope Benedict named five new saints on Sunday, including a Catholic priest, Father Damien, who cared for people in a leper (麻风病患者) colony.Father Damien was born Joseph De Veuster in Belgium. In 1873 he went to the Hawaiian island of Molokai. After several years of working in the colony, he himself developed leprosy (麻风病). Father Damien died in 1889, when he was 49 years old.Leprosy —also called Hansen’s disease — is a bacterial disease that causes skin wounds and nerve damage. The disease can severely disfigure (使变丑) victims and cause death. Untreated patients can spread the bacteria from their nose and mouth through the air to people who are near them a lot.But doctors have been able to treat leprosy since the 1940s. Today they use a combination of three drugs. Experts say after the first treatment, patients can no longer infect others.At the start of this year there were 213,000 cases of leprosy reported in 121 countries. The World Health Organization says there were almost 250,000 new cases last year. But the drug combination can cure the disease within six to twelve months.The number of new cases has been falling in many countries. But there are places where leprosy is still spreading quickly. These include areas of Angola, Brazil, Central African Republic, the Democratic Republic of Congo and India. Other areas are in Madagascar, Mozambique, Nepal and Tanzania.Leprosy is an ancient disease. Its victims have been highly looked down upon — often blamed for their condition and made to feel unclean. In India, leprosy has traditionally been considered a punishment for something bad done in a former life. Other cultures have considered it a sign of evil.James Staples teaches in the School of Social Sciences at Brunel University in Britain. He is the author of the book Peculiar People, Amazing Lives: Leprosy, Social Exclusion and Community Making in South India. He tells us that modern knowledge about leprosy does not necessarily reduce the stigma. Public health campaigns spread the message that leprosy is curable and not highly infectious. Yet he says this message is often more scary for people than the idea that leprosy is some sort of spiritual punishment. That explanation may not do much for the patient’s place in society, he says, “but at least other people don’t think they are going to catch it.”28. What happened to Father Damien according to the passage?A. He died of abnormal cancer.B. He died from an earthquake.C. He died from an accident.D. He died of leprosy.29. What’s people’s attitude towards the victims who are infected with leprosy in the past?A. Sympathetic.B. Concerned.C. Prejudiced.D. Optimistic.30. What does the underlined word “stigma” in the last paragraph probably mean?A. Shame.B. Pride.C. Custom.D. Explanation.31. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?A. The victims can be cured within 6 to 12 months.B. The victims’ social status has changed greatly since 1940s.C. The disease causes skin wounds and nerve damage.D. The leprosy is still spreading quickly in many countries.D“Why It Can Matter More Than IQ”, this subtitle (副标题) of my 1995 book Emotional Intelligence (EI), unfortunately, has led to misunderstandings of what I actually say. Some readers even jumped to an absurd conclusion that “EI accounts for 80 percent of success.”I never made the claim that EI matters more than IQ for academic achievements. My argument is actually that emotional and social skills give people advantages in areas where such abilities make the most difference, like love and leadership. EI does better than IQ in “soft” ar eas, where intelligence matters relatively little for success.IQ is a much stronger predictor (预测指标) than EI of which jobs or professions people can enter. However, having enough intelligence to hold a given job does not by itself predict whether one will be a star performer or rise to management or leadership positions in one’s field. In part this is because everyone at the top level of a given profession has already been examined for intelligence. At those top levels a high IQ becomes a basic ability, one needed just to get into and stay in the game.The one place, I expect, we will be seeing more data showing a relationship between skills in the emotional and social area and school performance, will be in studies of children who have gone through social/emotional learning (SEL) programs. These courses give students the self-management skills they need to do better on academic achievement scores. A study from the University of Illinois finds around a 10 percent increase in achievement test scores among these students. Probably, the SEL programs would also have meant higher scores on the particular assessment of EI used in the Australian study, and so if they had tested such children, there may well have been a positive connection.Therefore, learning seems to be another area where EI may matter —whether more than IQ is a question based on experience. This is what I want to explain on this website.32. The author writes the passage to _____.A. state his new opinion on IQ and EIB. explain the importance of IQ and EIC. clear up some misunderstandings of his bookD. argue for his study into school learning33. According to the author, EI matters more than IQ for _____.A. family relations; being promoted at workB. being a leader; receiving an MBA degreeC. winning a quiz; becoming a star performerD. becoming an accountant; getting an interview34. The author might agree that _____.A. success has everything to do with intelligenceB. the subtitle of his book is seldom misunderstoodC. EI matters more than IQ for academic achievementD. IQ determines one’s basic ability to enter a certain field35. We can learn from Paragraph 4 that _____.A. the two same studies have opposite findingsB. the SEL programs im prove students’ scores rapidlyC. students’ school performance is decided by their EID. the SEL programs attempt to promote learning with EI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。

AAs fun and enriching as traveling can be, it can also prove to be very expensive.

Tourists can enjoy living by the sea.BWhatever Rock was doing down there, it made enough noise for me to go to him. By the time I made it to the bottom of the stairs, he was running up, and he never came up the stair, no matter what. I think that was his way of telling me, “We’ve got to go back up.”When I got to the top of the stairs, I turned around and saw a light on, but I didn’t remember leaving one on. I walked downstairs again, and that’s when I saw fire. I immediately should to my wife to wake up and get our three kids. I grabbed a knife and cut out the plastic that covered the window to the porch roof. I then broke the window and kicked out the screen. I got everybody out on the roof and threw a blanket out there so we wouldn’t slip off. It was cold, January cold. Then I started screaming for help. But help never came.Now, I’m scared of heights and have physica l issues, what with my rheumatoid arthritis (类风湿性关节炎), but I couldn’t let ray family bum up. So I jumped off the roof. I didn’t run to the edge, I just jumped and got the wind knocked out of me when I landed.I found our ladder, placed it against the house, and climbed back up to the roof. I wrapped my arms around my daughter and canned my nine-month-old with my teeth, by his little sleeper. Then I climbed down the ladder. Once on ground, I had my little girl hold her brother, and I went back up to the roof lo get my other daughter. Then I went back up again and got my wife. I tried to get my dog, but he just disappeared in the black smoke. I never saw him alive again.I’m no hero. I’m just an ordinary person who’d help anybody. This happened to be the ti me when I helped my own family. I live to protect my family. Just like Rock — he lived lo protect us.24. Why did Rock make enough noise?A.

Escape from the FireC. A Lesson I Have LearntD. My Adventure ExperienceCIf you’re a commuter (通勤者) or drive on the highway often, you’ve probably seen those tall wall-like structures alongside the road. You may think they’re there to pr event cars and trucks from going off the road, or to provide privacy nearby neighborhoods. But that’s actually not their main purpose.It all started back when the 1958 Hollywood Bowl was drowned out by nearby highway noise. Ever since, tall barriers made out of noise-cancelling materials were construct along the busiest areas of America’s highways to prevent the noise from affecting surrounding areas. There are now 2,748 miles of these walls across the U.S.According to the Federal Highway Administration, barrier walls can reduce highway noise by almost half. The structures are typically made out of wood, concrete or brick-materials that absorb or reduce sound.The critical aspect of the construction of these walls is their height. They’re built high en ough to be over the line of sight, usually much taller than any car or truck. Building them up this high reduces sound waves by about 5-10 decibels. Human ears can’t usually notice a difference below 3 decibels, so the taller the better!The barriers are most effective when they are built within 61 meters of the road, which is why they can seem like safety barriers. They also cannot have any openings, or else the noise will leak through and the wall will be ineffective.The FWHA also puts aesthetic standa rds on the noise reducing walls. They “must be designed to be visually appealing and must be designed to preserve aesthetic values and scenic views,” according to the organization’s website. This is done to keep the natural landscape that typically surrounds highways complete and make them pleasant for surrounding residential communities as well.28. What’s the main purpose of tall walls according to the text?A. To keep wildlife away from the road.B. To prevent cars from going off the road.C. To provide privacy to nearby neighborhoods.D. To prevent the noise from disturbing surroundings.29. What is the vital aspect of tall walls according to the text?A. the heightB. the materialC. the placeD. the style30. What can we learn about safety barriers according to the text?A. They were built since 1958.B. They are made from wood, or concrete.C. They stand within 61 meters of the road.D. They are built at a similar height of tall walls.31. What does the underlined word “aesthetic” in Para. 6 mean?A. noisy B artistic C. typical D. naturalDHomeless people face a lot of challenges. Some of the most basic challenges, however, spring from not having regular access to clean water and cleaning stuff such as soap and shampoo. And poor personal hygiene (卫生) can he particularly troubling for homeless teens.That challenge inspired a young researcher, Leia Glunckman, to invent a multi-purpose product. It would need to absorb sweat and oil from skin and hair. It would need to clean teeth. Plus, it would need to kill bacteria without being harmful to people. She wanted her ingredients to be natural and biodegradable (可降解的).Leia started by going to stores and looking at I he ingredient (原料) lists for tooth powders, body powders and dry shampoos. Then she put together eight different trial recipes of her own. She tested each mixture to see how well it absorbed body oil and cleaned hair, to find out how these might work as a toothpaste, she tested them al removing coffee stains from eggshells.Eventually, Leia settled on three working recipes. Each contains salt and baking powder. The salt helps clean teeth and remove dirt, she notes. Baking powder helps absorb smells. Her three recipes’ other ingredients di ffer. Some of those ingredients included cloves, cinnamon and chamomile. Those sorts of things give her products different tastes and smells. That would let teens choose a product based on personal preferences.Leia wants to develop her products further. “Could it be used to drive off mosquitoes?” she asks. “Or does it attract them? These are questions I want to answer next,” she notes.Science offers a way to go about “solving problems and helping people,” says Leia. And she thinks her products could benefit a broad range of people, not just the homeless. Anyone in an area with little or no access to clean water could find her products useful, she says.32. What made Leia make the product according to the text?A. Her personal experience.B. The suffering of homeless people.C. Poor personal hygiene for homeless people.D. Her curiosity about invention and helping others.33. The third paragraph mainly tells us .A. How Leia made the productB. how effective the product isC. what functions the product hasD. what ingredients the product has34. What can we learn about the product from the fourth paragraph?A. People can buy it in the market now.B. The product only has three varieties.C. Salt is used lo clear smells and remove dirt.D. It can be custom-made to suit personal taste.35. How does Leia feel about her invention?A. It has some faults.B. It is quite satisfactory.C. It still needs improving.D. It is useful in remote area.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）（注：山西考生,每小题3分，满分15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。

ALook around you. Is there Coke in your refrigerator? Is your computer a Dell or Lenovo? From toothpaste to electronics, brands and brand-name products are all around us.It hasn’t always been this way. Before the Industrial Revolution and the age of mass media, brands were far less popular. But since then, brands have become increasingly prominent in our daily lives.In 2006, a container ship, the Cougar Ace, struggled in the Pacific Ocean for several weeks. Its goods included 4,703 brand-new Mazda cars. None of the cars were damaged, but there was still a problem.The ship had floated at a 60-degree angle, which would possibly affec t the cars’ engines, so Mazda decided to destroy all of the cars—including the individual parts. “We couldn’t run the risk of damaging the brand name that Mazda worked so hard over the years to develop.” explained company spokesperson Jeremy Barnes.Brands offer benefits to both the consumers that buy them and the companies that make them. They tie the manufacturer’s reputation to the product and, as a result, brand-name products are often considered as being of superior quality. Brand-name products also tend to have a special look or form. This makes it easier for customer to identify things they are looking for when shopping. It also gives companies a convenient way to get repeat customers and to protect their products through copyright (版权) laws.Thanks to advertising, many brands are associated with certain values, traits and lifestyles. In consequence, the brands we use communicate a message about who we are to others.The business of brands is huge. Together, the world’s 10 biggest brands are valued at more than US $420 billion—the value of the brand names alone.That means that for the companies that own them, brands are more than just product names. They are valuable assets (资产) needed to be protected even if doing so sometimes means losing millions of dollars.1. The first paragraph is written with the purpose of .A. reminding the readers to pay more attention to the brand-productsB. informing the readers of the latest brand-productsC. telling the readers about the brand-productsD. introducing the topic of the passage2. What does the underlined word “prominent” in paragraph 2 probably mean?A. ImportantB. DifferentC. FamousD. Complex3. The example of Mazda is used to show that .A. it is a famous brandB. Shipping is very importantC. The company doesn’t care about the lossD. A brand should be protected at any cost4. What is Paragraph 5 mainly about?A. Brand valuesB. Brand benefitsC. Brand-name productsD. Customer management5. What would be the best title for the text?A. Famous brandsB. Brand disastersC. The business of brandsD. The history of brandsBI live in Japan, where electronic items are a way of life, so it is no surprise that many students carry these little electronic dictionaries. Think of it. That huge, heavy paper dictionary that you used to see in your library looked like a building block in size and weight, yet someone has found a way to change all of that into a plastic box smaller than video cassette tape.E-dictionaries may be lighter and compacter (简洁的), more so than any paper dictionary. They may even contain more words and expressions. It depends on which one you buy. To me, these are pretty much the limits to their advantages.I think e-dictionaries should be limited in their use in classrooms. Let’s take a look at some reasons.E-dictionaries are much more expensive. In Japan, they cost as little as 10,000 yen (US$100) much as 40,000 yen, depending on how many functions you want (or think you want) and depending on how fashionable you are. My trusty Random House paper dictionary is copyrighted at 1995, cost me a mere US$12.95 plus tax.E-dictionaries are more fragile (易碎的). Drop your paper dictionary. Go ahead. Hold it above your head and drop it. Now, trying this with any lightweight plastic e-dictionary, and you’ll be picking the pieces.E-dictionaries need batteries. Batteries are temperature sensitive. Batteries cost money, too.E-dictionaries have keypads. Typing in the spelling of a word is harder and more time consuming than looking through pages and using the index at the top of each page.Let me add a statement about one that really troubles me. Sound. Little devices beep (嘟嘟声) when you press the buttons, but it is very disturbing to some people in a classroom situation or library.Finally, let’s consider making corrections or additions. No dictionary is perfect, paper version or electronic. However, when you find so mething you’d like to change in thee-dictionary, you can’t do anything about it. You can pencil in some notes with the paper type. Similarly, if you learn a word that isn’t in the dictionary, a few notes of a pencil make it easy to increase its memory capacity. But not possible with a keypad model. And, for those students whose habit is to mark certain words with a highlight pen for ease of future reference, again, the paper dictionary wins out.6. What does the author hate most of all the disadvantages?A. Not possible to make additions.B. Wasting more time looking up words.C. Too expensive to buy e-dictionaries and batteries.D. Making sound when pressing the buttons.7. How many disadvantages of e-dictionaries does the author address in the text?A. 4B. 6C. 8D. 108. What is the greatest advantage of the paper dictionary compared with the e-dictionary according to the passage?A. Containing more words and expressions.B. More light and compact to carry.C. Costing less money.D. Making corrections or additions for future reference.9. It can be inferred about e-dictionaries that .A. batteries in e-dictionaries are expensiveB. e-dictionaries can make noises at timesC. e-dictionaries are more easily brokenD. all e-dictionaries are equally expensive10. What’s the main idea of the text?A. The advantages and disadvantages of e-dictionaries from the author’s point of view.B. Electronic items are a way of lie in Japan.C. It’s fashionable to carry little e-dictionaries.D. The bad effect of using e-dictionaries on students and teachers.CCrime has its own cycles, a magazine reported some years ago. Police records that were studied for five years from over 2,400 cities and towns show a surprising link between changes in the seasons and crime patterns. The pattern of crime has varied very little over a long period of years. Murder, moreover, is more than seasonal; it is a weekend crime. It is also a night-time crime: 62 percent of murders are committed between 6 p.m. and 6 a. m.Unlike the summer high in crimes of bodily harm, robbing has a different cycle. You are most likely to be robbed between 6 p.m. and 2 a.m. on a Saturday night in December, January, or February. The month with least crimes of all is in May except for one strange fact. More dog bites are reported in this month than in any other month of the year.Apparently our seasonal cycles of knowledge are completely different from our tendencies for crimes. Professor Huntington made extensive studies to discover the seasons when people read serious books, attend scientific meeting and get highest results on examinations. In all cases, he found a spring high and autumn high separated by a summer low.Possibly, high temperature and high humidity cause our strange and violent summer actions, but police officials are not sure. “There is, of course, no proof of a connection between humidity and murder,” they say, “why murder’s high time should come in the summer time we really don’t know.”A. Crime CyclesB. Summer CrimesC. A Time for MurderD. The Most Peaceful Month12. According to the passage, .A. there is a link between changes in the seasons and crime patternsB. crime is not linked to the cycle of the weekdaysC. there is sure connection between robbing and murderD. there is a connection between murder and cold weather13. It is reported that more dog bites occur in .A. FebruaryB. DecemberC. MayD. January14. Which of the following statements is NOT TRUE?A. The police records were collected from a large number of cities and towns.B. The pattern of crime varies from year to year.C. Our cycles of learning are different from those of wrong action.D. The police are not sure that humidity and murder are related.15. A murder would most likely occur .A. on a weekend night in summerB. on a weekend afternoon in summerC. on a weekend night in winterD. on a weekday afternoon in springDWelcome to Windsor Castle, the oldest and largest occupied castle in the world. Windsor is one of the official residences (住所) of Her Majesty the Queen. As the Castle is a working Royal Palace, official engagement may occasionally limit access to those areas usually open to visitors.Guidebooks and Audio toursThe official guidebook and audio tour of the Castle provide information on St George’s Chapel, the State Apartments and magnificent works of art on display.

On Thursday, singer and actress Selena Gomez, 25, used Instagram to explain why she was “laying low” this summer. She posted a photo of herself in a hospital bed with her friend Francia Raisa holding hands. She said she recently received a kidney transplant from her best friend because of complications(并发症) from lupus(狼疮), an autoimmune disease, which means it is the result of the immune system attacking normal tissue, including the kidneys, brain, heart and lungs.People with lupus may first experience tiredness, joint pain or a little bit of rash(皮疹) on their bodies and can go for a long time before their doctors realize it is more serious. Many people see two or four doctors before the real problem is picked up. According to Dr. Kyriakos Kirou, roughly a third to one-half of people with lupus develop kidney disease, and up to one in five of them will eventually need a transplant, sometimes because theyweren’t treated with effective drugs to prevent the immune system from attacking the kidneys. Though Gomez said that she was “very well now,” she warn ed about the dangers of not taking medical diagnoses seriously, like she initially did.Her Instagram post also called attention to two major health topics: the need for living organ donators and the fact that Gomez represents three groups more likely to be diagnosed with lupus and lupus-related kidney disease. Nine out of 10 people diagnosed with lupus are women, and most develop the disease between the ages of 15 to 44. And lupus is two to three times more common among women of color, including Hispanic women, according to the Lupus Foundation.Raisa is Latina, and Gomez’s father is of Mexican origin. While it’s not essential that the organ donator and receiver be of the same ethnicity, people who share a similar background sometimes are better matched, according to data from the United Network for Organ Sharing.24. What can we learn about Francia Raisa?A. She is lucky.B. She is selfless.C. She is optimistic.D. She is encouraging.25. What is lupus like at its early stage?A. It is deadly.B. It is hard to recognize.C. Its symptoms are psychological.D. It reminds you of a kidney disease.26. What does the underlined word “them” in Paragraph 2 refer to?A. People with lupus.B. Colored women lupus patients.C. Lupus patients with kidney disease.D. Women between the ages of 15 to 44.27. What does the last paragraph mainly tell us?A. Raisa and Gomez have a similar background.B. Gomez has fully recovered thanks to the kidney from Raisa.C. It is vital for the donator and receiver to be of the same race.D. The organ from the donator of the same race matches the receiver better.C（云南民族大学附中2018届高三下第一次月考）The world’s richest man might seem to have it all, but Bill Gates has one regret. The self-made billionaire said he felt stupid for not knowing any foreign languages.Speaking in his third Ask Me Anything question-and-answer session for online forum Reddit(红迪网), the Microsoft founder said that he wished he spoke French, Arabic or Chinese.He said: “I took Latin and Greek in high school and got A’s and I guess it helps my vocabulary. I keep hoping to get time to study one of these—probably French because it is the easiest. I did Duolingo for a while but didn’t keep it up.”Gates, who is worth $79.3 billion, praised Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg for surprising an audience in Beijing when he spoke fluent Chinese. “Mark Zuckerberg amazingly learned Chinese and did a Q&A with Chinese students—unbelievable, isn’t it?” he saidThis isn’t the first time for Gates to admit his regret over language. He also sh owed his habits at home and personal insights.Last February, Gates said he likes to do the dishes himself—to his own special standards every night and also told the interviewer that his wife, Melinda, would likely want Samuel L. Jackson to play her husband in a biopic(传记片).He also admitted that he would pick up a $100 bill if he found it on the street.As he took the top spot on Forbes(福布斯)28th Annual Billionaires list last year for the fourth time, he said he is pretty basic when it comes to spending on clothes and food, but that he enjoys investing in shoes andracquets(球拍)when he plays tennis.When asked a life lesson he had to learn the hard way, the billionaire said staying up too late is a habit he is still trying to break. “Don’t stay up too late eve n if the book is really exciting. You will regret it in the morning. Pam still working on this problem.” he said.28. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?A. An Interview with Bill GatesB. How Bill Gates SucceededC. Bill Gates’ RegretD. The Richest Billionaire29. The underlined part in Paragraph 8 may actually mean that_____.A. it is important to lay a good foundation of lifeB. food and clothing are basic needs for people’s lifeC. he doesn’t spend much money on food and clothesD. he never cares about buying food and clothing30. What advice did Bill Gates give?A. Avoid staying up too late.B. Be a good language learner.C. Do the dishes yourself at home.D. Pick up the $100 bills in the streets.31.

Bill Gates’ wife wants Samuel to play a game w ith Gates.D（辽宁省葫芦岛2018届高三下学期第一次模拟）According to new research from the University of Cambridge in England, sheep are able to recognize human faces from photographs.The farm animals, who are social and have large brains, were previously known to be able to recognize one another, as well as familiar humans. However, their ability to recognize human faces from photos alone is novel.The recent study, the results of which were published in the journal Royal Society; Open Science, show the woolly creatures could be trained to recognize still images of human faces, including those of former President Barack Obama and actress Emma Watson.Initially, the sheep were trained to approach certain images by being given food rewards. Later, they were able to recognize the images for which they had been rewarded. The sheep could even recognize images of faces shown at an angle, though their ability to do so declined by about 15 percent—the same rate at which a human’s ability to perform the same task declines,“Anyone who has spent time working with sheep will know that they are intelligent and individual animals who are able to recognize their handlers.” said Professor Jenny Morton, who led the Cambridge study. “We’ve shown with our study that sheep have advanced face-recognition abilities, close to those of humans and monkeys.”Recognizing faces is one of he most important social skills for human beings, and some disorders of the brain, including Huntington’s disease, affect this ability.“Sheep are long-lived and have brains that are similar in size and complexity to those of some monkeys. That means they can be useful models to help us understand disorders of the brain, such as Huntington’s disease that develop over a long time and affect cognitive (认识的) abilities. Our study gives us another way to monitor how these abilities change.” Morton said.32. According to the new research, what’s unusual about sheep?A. They have large brains.B. They can recognize their owners.C. They can tell animals from humans.D. They can recognize human faces from photographs.33. How did the researchers train the sheep?A. By giving food rewards.B. By showing photos of famous people.C. By guiding them to follow their handlers.D. By showing photos of humans and monkeys by turns.34. What can be inferred from the passage?A. Sheep have a higher face-recognition ability than monkeys.B. The new discovery is of great benefit to the study of cognitive ability changes.C. The sheep’s face-recognition ability may prevent some disorders of the brain.D. The sheep’s face-recognition ability stays the same when shown photos at any angle.35. What’s the best title of the passage?A. A Wonderful ScientistB. The Life of SheepC. A New Discovery about SheepD. How Sheep Recognize Each Other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，选项中有两项为多余选项。

AIf you are looking for something fun and educational to do in Maryland,why not visit the Maryland Science Center?It is located at 601 Light Street,Baltimore,MD 2.The ticket prices vary depending on ages,groups and the exhibits you choose.IntroductionThe Maryland Science Center is basically a museum,but it gives everyone a chance to learn through experience and play,rather than just glance at an exhibit.ActivitiesYou can learn about various topics,including outer space,the human body,dinosaurs,electricity,marine （海洋的）biology,energy,and much more.You can also take part in the interactive activities,such as racing bubbles,digging for dinosaur fossils,using puzzle pieces to construct cars,and so much more.The Davis Planetarium（天文馆）At the Davis Planetarium,you can lie back in a chair and look at the stars while still inside the Science Center.

I remember my struggles in class."I don't know the answer,"I would say,"I can’t do it!"“Perhaps you don't know the answer,”he wou ld say quietly."Do you think we might figure it out together?How do you know what you can do until you try?"Mr.Myrus lived around the comer,and I would often stop by to talk while he worked in his garden.I knew there was someone who let me know that if I had really tried,that was enough."Don't be so hard on yourself,"he'd say."Stop blaming yourself.Did you try your best?Well,then you're not a failure,"he often told me these words.Mr.Myrus died in 1978.I had never thought about his death.He was too young.I felt sorry.But when I think about him now,I don't feel so sorry.He taught me to be kind,not only to others,but to myself.He taught me my own value.He taught me about honor,about truth,and about doing my best—and that all feelings and beliefs have dignity and deserve respect.And of all the things I know,this I believe: We can't all be “the best”,but we can,each of us,be our best,and I know that's true because Mr.Myrus told me that.11.What can we learn about Mr.Myrus according to the passage?A.He is usually hard on the students.B.He is responsible for his students and his teaching.C.He is a person who isn't particular about what be wears.D.He sometimes is cruel and unreasonable to his students.12.What does the underlined word “dema ndi ng” in Paragraph 2 most probably mean?A.Strict.B.Serious.C.Critical.D.Careful.13.Why did the author think he was a lucky dog?A.He had got a great belief from his teacher.B.Mr.Myrus trad been his teacher for eightyears.C.He became interested in math because of Mr.Myrus.D.He developed a good relationship with Mr.Myrus.14.What can be inferred from Paragraph 3?A.Mr.Myrus thought it very easy to learn math.B.The author preferred other subjects to math.C.The author was ashamed to admit his poor math.D.Mr.Myrus helped the author build up his confidence.15.What can we conclude by reading the passage?A.The author may have become a teacher.B.The author liked to recall his childhood.C.The author believed he would be the best of all.D.The author ended up being a man of self-confidence.DIn an unmanned supermarket,a customer waits to pay.With the use of advanced digital payment technology, including biological recognition and in-depth learning,the man leaves in a minute.There's no cashier in the store.At a large university,students use a hand-scanning machine that authorizes their entry into the gym.Those people are using “smart mac hi nes” which iden tify people by their physical characteristics.These new devices use fingers,hands, faces,eyes and voices.Some machines may even use smells.This new technology,called biometrics,gets information from parts of the body.In the past,biometric machines were used mainly in government agencies or in prisons.But now that the cost of the technology is lower,these machines are starting to be used everywhere,from border services to schools.Some people,however,are concerned that these machines will mean the destruction of personal privacy.They worry that the machines will get personal information about them.“I know it seems like these machines are invading our privacy,but actually,biometric machines help to protect it,”say s Jay Tarkett,who works at a company that develops the machines.“They can be used instead of passwords on a computer,for example.They can also identify criminals at airports.So,really,they help to promote public safety,and all the information stored is kept conf idential by the machine itself.”Some people don't like the idea of using fingerprints because they associate them with criminals,andfeel like they are being accused of something.In addition,they don't work for some people,such as bricklayers,who wear down their fingerprints.Yet,face recognition does work well because the subject doesn't really have to do anything.To cash a check at a bank,for example,the customer has to do nothing more than look at a machine similar to an automatic teller.If the face matches the picture kept on fie,the customer gets the money with no problems.The need to carry identification with you from place to place,then,would all but cease.It has been found that the hand scan works well in the college gym.Before this machine was used,students at the college entered the gym using cards similar to credit cards.The problem was that students often lost or forgot their cards.With the hand-scanning machine,however,the problem was solved right away.But the machines are still new,and there can be problems.For example,voice recognition works on the phone, but it is not precise,and can be tricked.Another constraint（限制）we notice,with machines that use face recognition in particular,is that they can be fooled if people color their hair or gain a lot of weight.However,this particular problem may be solved by a new type of technology that scans a person's iris,the colored part of the eye.It can even identify the person from a few feet away,recognizing a customer as he or she approaches the ATM.16.What's the author's intention by presenting two examples in Paragraph 1?A.To stress how smart machines work.B.To bring in the topic of the passage.C.To show the popularity of smart machines.D.To introduce the convenience smart machines offer.17.Why don't people like using finger-prints while using the machine?A.They want to keep their mistakes a secret.B.They don't want to damage their fingers.C.They are afraid of losing money in the bank.D.They are afraid of being thought of as criminals.18.Why are biometric machines starting to be used in many fields?A.They are not as expensive as they were.B.They no longer invade people's privacy.C.People enjoy face and voice
