AI clearly remember the day when my little brother was born: January 1, 1994. One of myfavorite family photos shows me lying with my mother in the hospital bed, happy but un- aware of the small, sleeping baby in the background.I stayed with my grandparents for the weekend of my brother ’s birth, excited about my new brother but not yet aware of what having a little brother would mean. I didn ’t truly realize what was going on until we were in the hospital room at Duke University----coincidentally (碰巧地), the same room in which I had been born two years earlier.When I looked at my brother for the first time, I felt a mixture of fear and interest. Little did know that small, pink creature would grow up to be one of my favorite people in the world. In reality, though I am two years older than my brother, I am more often than not the real baby in the family. I am very lacking when it comes to common sense. Instructions constantly confuse me and I frequently find myself totally puzzled by things like knowing how to start the washing machine or manage the storage settings on my iPhone.That ’s where Gibson comes in. The poor kid has had to guide me through more tasks than I would care to admit, but he never complains. Though I should probably be told to figure it out myself, he always comes through.I ’m envious of his ability to readily answer the ever-present, “What do you want to do with your life?” question at family gatherings. “Be a doctor,” he says----a solid answer, completely opposite to my shaky one, “Well, I ’m an English major, so...”My brother truly is my best friend. No one understands me better, and there isn ’t anyone else I would want to be stuck with in our family. I may not have a clear idea of where I ’m headed, but he is stuck with me.21. How did the author feel when he saw his brother for the first time?A. Angry and sad.B. Excited and moved.C. Curious and scared.D. Happy and interested.22. What does the underlined sentence in the fourth paragraph mean?A. My brother is the real baby in the family.B. In fact, I seem to be less mature than my little brother.C. My brother gets more love from the family than I do.D. I am growing more slowly than my brother.23. What does the brother often help the author do?A. Help him deal with many daily tasks.B. Help him with his studies.C. Give him advice on how to choose a major.D. Comfort him when he is in a bad mood.24. What is the best title for this text?A. My Strange Family GatheringsB. The Real Baby in the FamilyC. Stuck with Me----My Not-So-Little Little Brother命题：姓名_______D. The Feeling of Having a BrotherBBuckingham Palace is where the Queen lives. It is the Queen’s official and main royal London home.Buckingham Palace was originally a splendid house built by the Duke(公爵) of Buckingham for his wife.

Her Internet access was locked---remotely---to prevent Internet searches, and her typing style was analyzed to make sure she was who she said she was; Did she enter her student number at the same speed as she had in the past? Or was she slowing down?In the battle against cheating, this is the cutting edge and a key to encourage honestly in the booming field of on line education. The technology gives trust to the entire system, to the institution and to online education in general. Only with solid measures against cheating, experts say, can Internet universities show that their exams and diplomas are valid---that students haven’t searched the Internet to get the right answers.Although online classes have existed for more than a decade, the concern over cheating become sharper in the last ye ar with the growth of “open online courses.” Private colleges, public universities and corporations are jumping into the online education field, spending millions of dollars to attract potential students, while also taking steps to help guarantee honesty at a distance.Other programs can produce unique exams by drawing on a large list of questions and can recognize possible cheaters by analyzing whether difficult test questions are answered at he same speed as easy ones. As in many university classes, term papers are scanned against some large Internet data banks for cheating.29. Why was Jennifer watched in an online exam?A. To correct her typing mistakes.B. To find her secrets in the room.C. To keep her from dishonest behaviors.D. To prevent her from slowing down.30. The underlined expression cutting edge in Paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to _____.A. sharpening toolB. advanced techniqueC. effective ruleD. dividing line31. Some programs can find out possible cheaters by_________.A. checking the question answering speedB. producing a large number of questionsC. scanning the Internet test questionsD. giving difficult test questions第三部分:英语知识运用(共两节,满分45分)第一节完形填空(共20 小题; 每小题1.5 分, 满分30 分)Every one of us, rich or poor, should at least have one or two good friends.

2019-2020年高二英语寒假作业4一、阅读理解Spring is coming, and it is time for those about to graduate to look for jobs. Competition is tough, so job seekers must carefully consider their personal choices. Whatever we are wearing，our family and friends may accept us, but the workplace may not.A high school newspaper editor said it is unfair for companies to discourage visible tattoos (纹身），nose rings, or certain dress styles. It is true you can’t judge a book by its cover, yet people do “cover” themselves in order to convey (传递)certain messages. What we wear, including tattoos and nose rings, is an expression of who we are. Just as people convey messages about themselves with their appearances，so do companies. Dress standards exist in the business world for a number of reasons, but the main concern is often about what customers accept.Others may say how to dress is a matter of personal freedom, but for businesses it is more about whether to make or lose money. Most employers do care about the personal appearances of their employees (雇员),because those people represent（代表） the companies to their customers.As a hiring manager I am paid to choose the people who would make the best impression on our customers. There are plenty of well-qualified candidates（候选人）, so it is not wrong to reject someone who might disappoint my customers. Even though I am open-minded, I can’t expect all our customers are.There is nobody to blame but yourself if your set of choices does not match that of your preferred employer. No company should have to change to satisfy a candidate simply because he or she is unwilling to respect its standards, as long as its standards are legal.1. Which of the following is the newspaper editor’ opinion according to Paragraph 2?A. People’s appearance s carry messages about themselves.B. Customers’ choices influence dress standards in companies.C. Candidates with tattoos or nose rings should be fairly treated.D. Strange dress styles should not be encouraged in the workplace.2. What can be inferred from the text?A. Candidates have to wear what companies prefer for an interview.B. What to wear is not a matter of personal choice for companies.C. Companies sometimes have to change to respect their candidates.D. Hiring managers make the best impression on their candidates.3. Which of the following would be the best title for the text?A. Employees MatterB. Personal Choices MatterC. Appearances MatterD. Hiring Managers Matter4. The author’s attitude towards strange dress styles in the workp lace may best bedescribed as _______________.A. enthusiasticB. negative C positive D. sympathetic(同情的)二、七选五______51_____ It is a very happy day for many boys and girls. Before the term ends in some schools, the children act a nativity (基督诞生) or "birth" play, showing how Jesus was born in a stable.（马棚）.On the twenty-fourth of December, all children are very excited.______52____ The younger children think that Father Christmas will come down the chimney of fireplace, so they hang up a sock for him to put presents in. The greedy ones even hang up a pillowcase or a sack to try to get more presents.________53_____On Christmas morning, the children wake up very early. Some even turn on the light at two o'clock, and most of them are awake by six o'clock although there is no light in England for another hour or two at this time of the year._____54______ At about one o'clock in the afternoon, the Christmas dinner is brought in._____55______ Children search in their Christmas pudding for new coins which are hidden in it. The rest of the day is full of games and eating until the happiness of all Christian holidays comes to an end.A. People are often busy going shopping.B. The turkey or chicken is quickly eaten.C. Now the Chinese people also celebrate Christmas.D. Children look for their presents, and the young ones play while the dinner is prepared.E. Later that night, Father or Mother will put presents in the sock, and leave others at the side of the bed.F. Usually they are sent to bed early so that their parents can get the presents ready.G. Christmas Day falls on the twenty-fifth of December.。

高二英语寒假作业四

高二英语寒假作业四1、My father died when I was five. It was hard on us all. My brother, who is eight years older than me, began to 1 my mother and me.Taking on many more 2 than was expected of him, I remember he made sure the rubbish was 3 , and the yard mowed(修剪). He did on his 4 , without being told to do so.Because of my father’s death, my mother was 5 to get a full-time job. My brother took it upon himself, to get up early every morning. He would 6 me up for school, and make me 7 . While I was eating he would 8 my school uniform, make my bed, and gather my school 9 up.When I arrived home from school, he had already 10 cookies and a glass of milk for me. If I had homework, this was time for me to do it. Although my brother couldn’t cook himself, he would find something for supper, and have 11 ready for mom, so she could start 12 .It was a Saturday in June. My mother and I were at the 13 . There were all kinds of Father’s Day cards on the counter. I asked my mother, ＂Why don’t they have 14 Day cards?＂ She smiled and said, ＂Your brother has 15 been a father to you.

But now a study has found it really does help people nod off—if it is milked from a cow at night.Researchers have discovered that “night milk” contains more melatonin(褪黑激素), which has been proven to help people feel sleepy and reduce anxiety.The study, by researchers from Seoul, South Korea, involved mice being fed with dried milk powder made from cows milked both during the day and at night.Those given night milk, which contained 10 times the amount of melatonin, were less active and less anxious than those fed with the milk collected during daytime, according to the study published in The Journal of Medicinal Food.Night milk quickened the start of sleep and caused the mice to sleep longer. While the effect of cows milk harvested at different time has not been tested on humans up to now, taking melatonin drugs has been suggested to those who are struggling to fall asleep at night.Previous studies have also indicated that milk can be excellent for helping sleep because of the calcium content, which helps people to relax.Milk is also sugar-free and additive-free with nutritionists recommending skimmed milk as the best choice before bed as it is the least fattening. The more fat you take in before bedtime, the greater burden you will put on your body at night. 【小题1】According to the text, the mice fed with daytime milk_______.A. started sleep more easilyB. were more anxiousC. were less activeD. woke up later【小题2】Which of the following is true of melatonin according to the text?A. It’s been tested on mice for ten years.B. It can make people more energetic.C. It exists in milk in great amount.D. It’s used in sleeping drugs.【小题3】What can be a suitable title for the text?A. Night Milk and SleepB. Fat, Sugar and HealthC. An Experiment on MiceD. Milk Drinking and Health【小题4】How does the author support the theme of the text?A. By giving examples.B. By stating arguments.C. By explaining statistical data.D. By providing research results.3、Scientists have learned a lot about the kinds of food people need. They say that there are several kinds of food that people should eat every day. They are:(1) green and yellow vegetables of all kinds; (2) citrus (柑橘) fruits and tomatoes; (3) potatoes and other fruits and vegetables; (4) meat of all kinds, fish and eggs; (5) milk and food made from milk; (6) bread or cereal (谷类), rice is also in this kind of food; (7) butter, or something like butter.People in different countries and different places of the world eat different kinds of things. Foods are cooked and eaten in many different kinds of ways. People in different countries eat at different times of the day. In some places people eat once or twice a day; in other countries people eat three or four times aday.Scientists say that none of the differences is really important. It doesn’t matter whether foods are eaten raw (生的) or co oked, canned or frozen. It doesn’t matter if a person eats dinner at 4 o’ clock in the afternoon or at eleven o’ clock at night. The important thing is what you eat every day.There are two problems, then, in feeding the large number of people on the earth. The first is to find some ways to feed the world’s population so that no one is hungry. The second is to make sure that people everywhere have the right kinds of food to make them grow to be strong and healthy.【小题1】According to the first paragraph, which of the following is the healthiest?A. Meat, milk and butter.B. Fruits, bread and butter.C. Vegetables, bread and milk.D. Eggs, meat and rice.【小题2】Which of the following is NOT the difference of people’ s eating in different places according to the passage?A. Different kinds of things.B. Different eating habits.C. Different’ cooking and eating ways.D. Different times and numbers of eating.【小题3】In scientists’ eyes, what is the really important thing?A. The things you eat every day.B. The time of eating.C. To eat cooked food instead of the raw one.D. Whether it is canned or frozen food.【小题4】What are the two difficulties in feeding the large number of people on the earth?A. To find out what people need to eat and how to eat.B. To figure out the kinds of food and their proportion in diet.C. To find an agreeable time and ways of eating.D. To make sure no one is hungry and have the right kinds of food.4、Will it matter if you don’t take your breakfast? Recently a test was given in the United States. Those tested included people of different ages, from 12 to 83. During the experiment, these people were given all kinds of breakfasts, and sometimes they got no breakfast at all. Special tests were set up to see how well their bodies worked when they had eaten a certain kind of breakfast. The results show that if a person eats a proper breakfast, he or she will work with better effect than if he or she has no breakfast. This fact appears to be especially true if a person works with his brains. If a student eats fruit, eggs, bread and milk before going to school, he will learn more quickly and listen with more attention to class.Opposite to what many people believe, if you don’t eat breakfast, you will not lose weight. This is because people become so hungry at noon that they eat too much for lunch, and end up gaining weight instead of losing. You will probably lose more weight if you reduce your other meals.【小题1】During the test, those who were tested were given ______________.A. no breakfast at allB. very rich breakfastC. little food for breakfastD. different breakfasts or none【小题2】The results of the test show that ______________.A. breakfast has great effect on work and studiesB. breakfast has little to do with a person’s workC. a person will work better if he has a simple breakfastD. those working with brains should have much for breakfast【小题3】Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?A. Poor breakfasts affect those who work with brains.B. Morning diet may cause one to get fatter.C. Eating less in lunch and supper may help to lose weight.D. Reducing breakfast is of great value in weight losing.5、阅读理解。

高二英语寒假作业(卷4)有答案详解

高二寒假模拟考试试题英语试卷四满分为100分第Ⅰ卷第一部分听力（动画电影欣赏）《霍顿与无名氏》Horton Hears a Who! (2008)是2008年福克斯制作的一部动画。

在名为欧诺的热带丛林中，小象霍顿（金·凯瑞JimCarrey 配音）和朋友们自由自在地生活于此。

某天，一粒灰尘闯入霍顿的世界。

当灰尘经过他面前时，他仿佛听到微弱的求救声。

经过一番手忙脚乱的追逐，霍顿终于在一朵花上找到了那粒灰尘。

原来灰尘上有一个“无名镇（呼呼镇）”，当地人民原本生活安泰，无忧无虑，但一枚滑落的果实却将“无名镇”所在的灰尘从苜蓿花蕊上撞向天空。

这一变故让即将迎来百年庆典的“无名镇”出现诸多怪事，偶然机缘，小镇镇长麦多多和霍顿间取得了联系。

为了让小镇重新回到稳定状态，霍顿决定带着他们回到原有的世界……本片根据苏斯博士（Dr. Seuss）的同名小说改编。

霍顿的配音演员就是金凯瑞。

不知道是不是因为《变相怪杰》给我的印象太深，我完全把金凯瑞归结到喜剧演员里了，所以不管看他的什么电影，总会跳戏。

这里推荐金凯瑞其他的几部电影，都是我特别喜欢的。

《神探飞机头》、《大话王》、《一个头两个大》、《冒牌天神》，当然还有一部神作《楚门的世界》，希望大家成为阅片无数的老司机。

看完《楚门的世界》，我发现让金凯瑞来给霍顿配音，是多么合适。

AI have been teaching animal behavior at the Boulder County Prison in Colorado for 10 years. The course is one of the most popular in the prison. Prisoners have to earn the right to attend the course and they work hard to get in.One reason why the course is so popular is that many prisoners find it easier to connect with animals than with pe ople, because animals don’t judge them. They trust animals in ways they don’t with humans.Yet, they hold a misunderstanding of how animals treat one another. Many admit that their own “animal behavior” is what got them into trouble in the first place. I t each that though there is competition and aggression in the animal kingdom, there is also a lot of cooperation (合作) and sympathy.Many of the students want to build healthy relationships, and they find that the class helps them. I use examples of the social behavior of group-living animals such as wolves as a model for developing and maintaining (维持) friendships among people who must work together for their own good and also for the good of the group.It’s clear that science inspires the students here and i t also gives them hope. I know some students have gone back into education after their being set free while others have gone to work for humane (人道) societies or contributed time and money to conservation organizations. One went on to receive a master’s degree in nature writing.Science and humane education help the prisoners connect with values that they otherwise would not have done.

His attitude didn’t soften as I grew into adulthood and went to college. I had to ride the bus whenever I came home. Though the bus stopped about two miles from home, Dad never met me, even in severe weather. If I grumbled, he’d say in his loudest father-voice, “That’s what your legs are for!”The walk didn’t bother me as much as the fear of walking alone along the highway and country roads. I also felt less than valued that my father didn’t seem concerned about my safety. But that feeling was canceled one spring evening.It had been a particularly difficult week at college after long hours in labs. I longed for home. When the bus reached the stop, I stepped off and dragged my suitcase to begin the long journey home.A row of hedge (树篱) edged the driveway that climbed the hill to our house. Once I had turned off the highway to start the last lap of my journey, I always had a sense of relief to see the hedge because it meant that I was almost home. On that particular evening, the hedge had just come into view when I saw something gray moving along the top of the hedge, moving toward the house. Upon closer observation, I realized it was the top of my father’s head. Then I knew, each time I’d come home, he had stood behind the hedge, watching, until he knew I had arrived safely. I swallowed hard against the tears. He did care, after all.On later visits, that spot of gray became my watchtower. I could hardly wait until I was close enough to watch for its secret movement above the greenery. Upon reaching home, I would find my father sitting innocen tly in his chair. “So! My son, it’s you!” he’d say, his face lengthening into pretended surprise.I replied, “Yes, Dad, it’s me. I’m home.”24. What does the underlined word “grumbled” in Paragraph 1 probably mean?A. Accepted happily.B. Explained clearly.C. Agreed willingly.D. Spoke unhappily.25. What made the author feel upset was ________.A. the tiredness after long hours in labsB. the fear of seeing something movingC. the feeling of being less than valuedD. the loneliness of riding the bus home26. The author’s father watched behind the hedge because ________.A. he was concerned about his son’s safetyB. he wanted to help his son build up courageC. he didn’t want to meet his son at the doorwayD. he didn’t think his son was old enough to walk alone27.

However, a recent study has shown that under 20% of business owners would be willing to upgrade to the new version of Windows. The reason for this remains to be discussed and debated, and we will try to throw light on this research by providing you with some of the most common advantages and disadvantages of Windows 8.Generally speaking, there are a great number of plus sides related to upgrading from Windows 7 to Windows 8.Speed—This is the biggest advantage to mention. Boot time has been reported to be up to nine times shorter than that with Windows 7.New passwords—Instead of typing your passwords, Windows 8 will let you use gestures on your favorite photos to enter your password. This is not only practical but also extremely cool!Windows 8 experience—Apart from computers, Windows 8 will be used on all devices, including smart phones, tablet PC’s and so on. Also, owing to the fact that it has been specifically designed with touch screen users in mind, Windows 8, besides using keyboard and mouse, will offer a whole new user experience.However, there are still some disadvantages.The first one that has to be mentioned is that there is no Start Menu from Windows. Yes, there is no Start button in the lower left corner, and this might be a real puzzle of many Windows users. Also, many users have had a problem to get used to the new interface (界面) introduced by Windows 8. The biggest problem that is worth noticing is that Windows 8 was originally designed for touch screen users, and this may have a bad effect on desktop users who have gotten used to doing everything with the help of their keyboard and mouse.32.

People tend to pay attention to the shoes they and others wear.”Medical Daily notes that the number of detailed personality traits detected in the study include a person’s general age, their gender, ine, political affiliation, and other perso nality traits, including someone's emotional stability.Lead researcher Omri Gillath said the judgments were based on the style, cost, color and condition of someone’s shoes. In the study, 63 University of Kansas students looked at pictures showing 208 different pairs of shoes worn by the study's participants. Volunteers in the study were photographed in their most monly worn shoes, and then filled out a personality questionnaire.So, what do your shoes say about your personality?Some of the results were expected: People with higher ines most monly wore expensive shoes, and flashier footwear was typically worn by extroverts（外向性格的人）.However, some of the more specific results are intriguing. For example, “practical and functional” shoes were generally worn by more “agreeable” people, while ankle boots were more closely aligned with “aggressive” personalities.The strangest of all may be that those who wore “unfortable looking” shoes tend to have “calm” personalities.And if you have several pairs of new shoes or take exceptional care of them, you may suffer from “attachment anxiety,” spending an inordinate amount of time worrying about what other people think of your appearance.There was even a political calculation in the mix with more liberal types w earing “shabbier and less expensive” shoes.The researchers noted that some people will choose shoe styles to mask their actual personality traits, but researchers noted that volunteers were also likely to be unaware that their footwear choices were revealing deep insights into their personalities.56. We learn from the text that shoes one wears may .A. convey useful information including one’s emotional stabilityB. show thick and useful information about one’s personalityC. only convey some information about one’s personalityD. be used to judge others’ personality accurately57. Which of the following is NOT true according to the text?A. People wearing “unfortable looking” shoes tend to be calm.B. People wear practical and functional shoes may be hard to deal with.C. Ankle boots are closely aligned with “aggressive” personalities.D. People with high ines probably wear expensive shoes.58. What does the underlined words “attachment anxiety” probably mean?A. Attached happiness to one’s personality.B. Feeling always worried about everything.C. Wasting an inordinate amount of time.D. Often feeling worried about his or her appearance.59. What can be the best title for this article?A. Shoes One WearsB. Shoes and InformationC. Shoes and One’s PersonalityD. Judging One’s PersonalityBWhat do you do when you need to look something up? Go to the library? Open an encyclopedia? Click onto the Internet? These days, most people go straight to Wikipedia, the online encyclopedia. But how reliable is it?There’s no denying the popularity and usefulness of Wikipedia. It attracts as many as 78 million visitors every month, and the site is available in more than 270 different languages. It’s one of the most prehensive resources available，which includes almost all details，facts and information that may be concerned. It’s got much more information than an ordinary encyclopedia. The site is updated on a daily basis by thousands of people around the world. Anyone with an Internet connection can log on and edit the contents or add a new page. And you don’t need any formal training.Of course, there are some controls. Wikipedia has a team of more than 1，500 administrators who check for false information. And main targets for harmful ments(such as politicians) are off-limits to public editing. But with more than l6 million articles to keep an eye on，it isn’t easy．So，while Wikipedia benefits from being constantly updated with information from all over the world, it's also open to “vandals”(破坏他人财产者).Some of the damage is easy to notice. One person drew devil horns and a moustache on Microsoft chairman Bill Gate’s photo, while another edited Greek philosopher Plato’s b iography to say he was a “Hawaiian weather man who is widely believed to have been a student of ‘Barney the purple Dinosaur’ and to have been deeply influenced by his dog，Cutie.”But other things are harder to spot. The most mon form of vandalism involves adding tiny items of false information into the biography of a famous person. Unbelievably, some of this misinformation has appeared in newspapers，with The Daily Mail，The Guardian and The Independent all having fallen victim to the dirty ticks. For example，in an article about British edian Sir Norman Wisdom, one newspaper claimed that he co-wrote Dame Vera Lyn n’s wartime hit “There’ll be Bluebirds over the White Cliffs of Dover”. He did no such thing. And in another article, it was reported that TV Theme tune poser Ronnie Hazlehurst had written the S Club 7 hit “Reach”Once again, not true.So，if you’re going to use any information from Wikipedia, make sure you double-check it first.60. What’s the writer’s attitude to Wikip edia?A. criticalB. doubtfulC. objectiveD. negative61. Which of the following would the author of the passage most probably agree with?A. Though popular and widely used, Wikipedia provides little information that is reliable.B. Before using the information from Wikipedia, one should first check it again and again.C. It is understandable that some people add false information to Wikipedia.D. Updated on a daily basis, any information from Wikipedia is reliable62. We can learn from the passage that .A. Because of its popularity, 78 million people from 270 counties visit Wikipedia monthlyB. Updated by people around the world，the site is more likely to be damaged by hackersC. Anyone who has access to the internet can edit any contents of Wikipedia as they likeD. The primary job of the administrators is to make sure true information is conveyed63. Paragraph 5 is mainly to tell us .A. It is really difficult to find out tiny items of false informationB. No matter how famous the papers are，they can also be cheatedC. You can make mistakes while searching for informationD. It was Sir Norman Wisdom who wrote the S Club 7kit “Reach”CBelow is a page from The AliExpress Buyer ProtectionWhy AliExpress Buyer Protection?Your money is safe from scammers(骗局)because we’ll only release funds to the supplier AFTER you confirm satisfactory delivery of your order．A full refund will be given if the order did not arrive.

In a newspaperB. In a magazineC. In a research paperD. On the InternetDHomeownership has let us down. For generations, Americans believed that owning a home was undoubtedly good. Our political leaders hammered home the point. Franklin Roosevelt held that a country of homeowners wa s “unconquerable.” Homeownership could even save babies, save children, save families and save America. A house with a lawn and a fence wasn’t just a nice place to live in or a risk-free investment; it was a way to shape a nation. No wonder leaders of all political types wanted to spend more than $100 billion a year on subsidies(补助) and tax breaks to encourage people to buy.But the dark side of homeownership is now all too apparent: Indeed, easy lending stimulated （刺激）by the cult of homeownership may have triggered(引起) the financial crisis. Housing remains a drag on the economy. Existing-home sales in April dropped 27% from the previous month, worsening fears of a double-dip. And all that is just the obvious tale of a housing bubble and what happened when it popped. The real story is deeper and darker still.For the better part of a century, politics, industry and culture lined up to create a fetish of the idea of buying a house. Homeownership has done plenty of good over the decades; it has provided stability to tens of millions of families. Yet by idealizing the act of buying a home, we have ignored the downsides. In the bubble years, lending standards slipped dramatically, allowing many Americans to put far too much of their ine into paying for their housing. And we ignored longer-term phenomena too. Homeownership contributed to the hollowing out of cities and kept renters out of the best neighborhoods. It fed America’s overuse of energy and oil. It made it more difficult for those who had lost a job to find another. Perhaps worst of all, it helped us bee casually self-deceiving: By telling ourselves that homeownership was a pathway to wealth and stable munities and better test scores, we avoided dealing with these frightening issues head-on.Now, as the U.S. recovers from the biggest housing bust（破产）since the Great Depression, it is time to rethink how realistic our expectations of homeownership are—and how much money we want to spend chasing them. Many argue that homeownership should not be a goal pursued at all costs.67. Political leaders wanted to spend money encouraging people to buy houses because______.A. owning a home was undoubtedly goodB. homeownership could shape a countryC. houses could save families and AmericaD. homeownership was unconquerable68. The underlined sentence in Para. 2 means ______.A. homeownership has quite a lot of bad effectsB. there might be another housing breakdown in the U.S.C. the existing-home sales will keep decreasing in the U.S.D. the result of homeownership is much worse than it appears69. It can be inferred from Para. 3 that ______.A. Americans choose to live out of urban areasB. it is the way to wealth to have one’s own houseC. it is hard for Americans to get a home loanD. homeownership has made many people out of work70. What is the author’s attitude towards homeownership?A. Cautious.B. Ambiguous.C. Favorable.D. Optimistic.IV. 任务型阅读TelepathyTelepathy（心灵感应）is the ability to municate without the use of the five senses (sight, hearing, touch, smell, taste). It's an instinct (本能) which can be woken up in times of emergency or need. When we feel that something is happening or about to happen by instinct, we're using resources within the unconscious mind. When the resources of two persons' unconscious minds link together into the same frequency, we call it Telepathy.We can either send or receive Telepathy. If you know who is calling before you answer the ringing phone, you are probably a good receiver. If you think of a person and he/she calls you, you are most likely to be better at sending.You can easily put your abilities to the test. Think of somebody and expect him or her tocontact with you. Be patient. The other person may not be a good receiver, but they should contact you much e arlier than would normally be expected. Or whenever the phone rings, but try “feeling” who is contacting you. Don't guess, but try to feel it with your mind. However, if neither of these work for you, that doesn't mean that you have no ability of telepathy. As mentioned earlier, telepathy is most likely to turn up in case of emergency.Telepathy dreams often contain telepathic messages. Two people may both dream of the other and find that their dreams had a clear connection. These people are probably linking to each other's unconscious mind.The more people spend time together, the more likely they are to be able to link up to the other's mind, especially when separated. There are two reasons for this. One is that they understand the other's mind through time spent together; the other is that there is usually a strong desire to municate. A mother will often sense that her child is in danger. This is due to the child's eagerly wanting his or her mother, knowing that this is the person who would always want to be there for them, and the mother's deep desire to protect her child from harm.81.

新课标2016年高二英语寒假作业4第1卷第二局部阅读理解〔共两节，总分为60分〕第一节〔共15小题；每一小题3分，总分为45分〕阅读如下短文，从每题所给的四个选项〔A、B、C、和D〕中，选出最优选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

AYou’ve probably heard of the expression “A leopard can’t change its spots.〞This, of course, is true of leopards. But isn’t it true of peop le? Can people change themselves? Are we humans just creatures of habits? Do we not have any control over our actions and habits?One guy said, “Bad habits are like a comfortable bed. They’re easy to get into, but hard to get out of.〞Someone else said, “T he chains of habits are too small to feel until they’re too strong to break.〞 So breaking the mould of our bad habits takes effort.Habits are like the roads we take through our life every day. The problem is that not every road takes us where we need to go. Actually, our routes through life often become our ruts (惯例) in life. We end up stuck in them and find it hard to dig ourselves out. That’s why we must change our bad habits as soon as possible before they become our second nature. You see, our habits become our character and our character becomes our life. As one wise person said, “First we make our habits, and then our habits make us.〞But we humans don’t like to change. So we come up with excuses, like “I can’t be different; that’s just the way I am.〞And the good excuse is “You can’t teach an old dog new tricks.〞But that’s just it: we’re not dogs or animals. In fact, we’re the only creatures who have the freedom and power to change and choose thekind of person we want to become.29. We can learn from Paragraph 2 that .A. getting rid of bad habits is very hardB. people can’t find their bad habits themselvesC. entering bad habits is hardD. people don’t have the courage to change their bad habits30. What’s mainly talked about in Paragraph 3?A. What bad habits are.B. How bad habits are formed.C. How to change our bad habits.D. Why we should change our bad habits.31. The author’s attitude towards changing one’s bad habits is .A. doubtfulB. optimisticC. negativeD. indifferentBBasic Study Manual Hardcover: $ 37.50Future success depends on the ability to learn.

According to the advertisements, the four books are all intended for ________.A. teachersB. adultsC. childrenD. women13. Some of the four books were illustrated in order to _________.A. help readers understand the bookB. persuade readers to buy themC. reduce the cost of the booksD. make the books suitable to different readers14.

The purpose of the passage meant to __________.A. introduce the four books to readersB. help children to learn EnglishC. enrich students knowledge about natureD. sell the four books to readersCThese days, it seems that almost all of us are too serious．My older daughter often says to me, “Daddy, you’ve got that serious look again．〞 Even those of us who are committed to〔致力于〕 non-seriousness are probably too serious．People are frustrated and anxious about almost everything -- being five minutes late, witnessing someone look at us wrong or say the wrong thing, paying bills, waiting in line, overcooking a meal, making an honest mistake -- you name it, and we alllose perspective〔理性判断〕 over it．The root of being anxious is our unwillingness to accept life as being different, in any way, from our expectation．Very simply, we want things to be a certain way but they’re not a certain way．Life is simply as it is．Perhaps Benjamin Franklin said it best: “Our limited perspective, our hopes and fears become our measure of life, and when circumstances〔环境〕don’t fit our ideas, they become our difficulties．〞 We spend our lives wanting things, people, and events to be just as we want them to be -- and when they’re not, we fight and we suffer．The first step in recovering from over-seriousness is to admit that you have a problem．You have to want to change, to become more easygoing．You have to see that your own anxiety is largely of your own creation -- it’s made up of the way you have set up your life and the way you react to it．The next step is to understand the link between your expectations and your frustration level．Whenever you expect something to be a certain way and it isn’t, you’re upset and you suffer．On the other hand, when you let go of your expectations, when you accept life as it is, you’re free．A good exercise is to try to approach a single day without expectation．Don’t expect people to be friendly．When they’re not, you won’t be surprised or bothered; if they are, you’ll be delighted．Don’t expect your day to be problem-free．Instead, as problems come up, say to yourself, “Ah, another barrier to overcome．〞 As you approach your day in this manner you’ll notice how elegant life can be．Rather than fighting against life, you’ll be dancing with it．Pretty soon, with practice, you’ll lighten up your entire life．And when you lighten up, life is a lot more fun．32．Why are people easily frustrated and anxious these days?A．Because their children are disappointing．B．Because they have to look serious in public．C．Because life is becoming a greater burden．D．Because people have lost sensible judgment．33．According to Benjamin Franklin, what was the cause of over-seriousness? A．The fact that people’s perspective, hopes and fears are limited．B．The fact th at people can’t change life itself．C．The fact that things fail to meet people’s expectations．D．The fact that circumstances turn out to be difficult．34．In what pattern is this article developed?A．Phenomenon〔现象〕, causes and solutions．B．Problems, explanation and conclusion．C．Examples, causes and arguments．D．Phenomenon, analysis and conclusion．35．What might be the best title for the passage?A．People seem to be too seriousB．Life is simply as it isC．Hopes can turn into difficultiesD．A good exercise removes over-seriousnessDWhen was the last time someone did something unexpectedly nice for you? Not someone you knew, but a total stranger? It’s happened to me a few times, but two instances really stand out.A few years ago, I was dining out with a person who kept going on and on about himself, completely unaware of the fact that I was sitting there in misery〔痛苦〕. It wasn’t his company that disappointed me. I was recovering from a bad grade in my study. I could have collapsed〔崩溃〕in tears right there at the table.When we picked up the check, the waitress said, “Your meal was already paid for.〞My friend and I didn’t have a clue how it happened. Then I remembered a man coming in out of the corner of my eye. He was dressed in mostly white, sat down at the bar, had a glass of wine, stayed for maybe ten minutes and then left. The waitress said, “Yes, the gentleman who was in here a while ago paid for you.〞Just last year, I was running a half-marathon. With just 0.1 miles to go, I was out of gas. R unners call it “hitting the wall〞; I thought I couldn’t move another muscle. Out of nowhere, a teenager jogged up next to me and said, “What’s your name sweetie? Jennifer? Okay, Jennifer, let’s go! Come on! It’s just around the corner! You can do it!〞. And he ran with me until I picked up my pace. I found him at the finish line to thank him for the encouragement only to learn he wasn’t even supposed to be in the race that day. He was running in place of someone else.I still shake my head when I think of these momentary angels that came to me at my point of need. Do you have any experiences like this?21. Why did the author say she was in misery?A. Because she got into trouble with her friend.B. Because she couldn’t enjoy her meal quietly.C. Because her friend complained so much.D. Because she was doing poorly in her study.22. What do you think of the man who paid for the meal?A. He was generous and warm-hearted.B. He knew the author well and always helped her.C. He showed his kindness to his girlfriend.D. He liked making fun of others.23. We can infer from the last paragraph that_________.A. the author still can’t believe her experiences todayB. the author feels grateful for the help she receivedC. the author thinks everyone is an angelD. the author often helps those in need24. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A. The Kindness of StrangersB. An Unpleasant FriendC. Two Unbelievable ExperiencesD. Hitting the Wall第二节〔七选五共5小题，每一小题2分，总分为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优选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。

Standing by her chair, looking at the ink bottle, pens and white paper, I decided that the act of writing must be the most wonderful thing in the world.Years later, during her final illness, mother kept different things for my sister and brother. “But the desk,〞she said again, “is for Elizabeth.〞I never saw her angry, never saw her cry. I knew she loved me; she showed it in action. But as a young girl, I wanted heart-to-heart talks between mother and daughter.They never happened. And a gulf opened between us. I was “too emotional(易动感情的)〞. But she lived “on the surface〞.As years passed and I had my own family. I loved my mother and thanked her for our happy family. I wrote to her in careful words and asked her to let me know in any way she chose that she did forgive me.I posted the letter and waited for her answer, none came.My hope turned to disappointment, then little interest and, finally, peace. It seemed that nothing happened. I couldn’t be sure that the letter had even got to Mother. I only knew that I had written it, and I could stop trying to make her into someone she was not.Now the present of her desk told me that she was pleased that writing was my chosen work though she’d never been able to. I cleaned the desk carefully and found some papers inside — a photo of my father and a one-page letter, folded(折叠) and refolded many times.Give me an answer, my letter asks, in any way you choose, Mother, you always chose the act that speaks louder than words.36.

China Daily: An International TeamD. China Daily: The Best Working ConditionCBeauty has always been regarded as something praiseworthy. Almost everyone thinks attractive people are happier and healthier, have better marriages and have more respectable jobs. Personal advisors give them better advice for finding jobs. Even judges are softer on attractive defendants (被告). But in the executive (行政的；管理的) circle, beauty can become a liability.While attractiveness is a positive factor for a man on his way up the executive ladder, it is harmful to a woman. Handsome male executives were considered as having more honesty than plain men; effort and ability were thought to lead to their success. Attractive female executives were considered to have less honesty than unattractive ones; their success was connected not with ability but with factors such as luck. All unattractive women executives were thought to have more honesty and to be more capable than the attractive female executives. Interestingly, though, the rise of the unattractive overnight successes was connected more to personal relationships and less to ability than that of the attractive overnight successes.Why are attractive women not thought to be able? An attractive woman is considered to be more feminine and an attractive man more manly than the less attractive ones. Thus, an attractive woman has an advantage in traditionally female jobs, but an attractive woman in a traditionally manly position appears to lack the "manly" qualities required.This is true even in politics. "When the only clue is how he or she looks, people treat men and women differently," says Anne Bowman, who recently published a study on the effects of attractiveness on political candidates. She asked 125 undergraduate students to rank two groups of photographs, one of men and one of women, of attractiveness. The students were told the photographs were of candidates for political offices. They were asked to rank them again, in the order they would vote for them.The results showed that attractive males completely defeated unattractive men,but the women who had ranked most attractive unchangeably received the fewest votes.46. The word " liability " in the 1st paragraph most probably means ________.A. disadvantageB. advantageC. misfortuneD.trouble47. In traditionally female jobs, attractiveness ________.A. makes women look more honest and capableB. strengthens the qualifies requiredC. is of no importance to womenD. often enables women to succeed quickly48. Bowman's experiment shows that when it comes to politics, attractiveness_________.A. turns out to be a disadvantage to menB. is more of a disadvantage than an advantage to womenC. affects men and women alikeD. has as little effect on men as on women49. It can be inferred from the passage that people's views on beauty are often_________.A. practicalB. supportiveC. old-fashionedD.one-sided50. The author writes this passage to _________.A. give advice to job-seekers who are attractiveB. discuss the disadvantages of women being attractiveC. demand equal rights for womenD. state the importance of appearance四、单词拼写〔共10小题；每题0.5分，总分值5分〕51.

If you can avoid conflict, it means you will winwhat you want regardless of what the other person wants. Since the potential issuehas not been removed, it will simply reappea r later. Let’s see what you can do.★Be aware of the fact that some conflicts are unavoidable at work. On numerous occasions, conflict and disagreement are likely to happen. But when a conflict happens it's not the end of the world. On the contrary, it can be the beginning ofan interesting learning process. Conflicts mean that people care enough to disagree strongly. The trick is not to allow the conflict to go on forever.★ Deal with conflicts sooner rather than later. Solve a conflict when it starts,as it only gets worse with time going by. Conflicts at work arise not from something that was said, but from something that wasn't said! Everyone's waiting for the other to admit he's wrong and gets more unpleasant after the conflict has lasted a while. It's essential to interrupt the "waiting game" before it gets to that point.★ Ask nicely. If somebody has done something that made you angry, or if you don't understand their viewpoint or actions, simply asking nicely about it can make a world of difference. Never assume that people do what they do to annoy or hurt you. Sometimes there's a good reason why that person does what he or she does, and a potential conflict disappear right there. Do remember to make an inquiry, not an accusation of any sort.★ Apprec iate. Praise the other part in the conflict. Tell them why it's worth it to you to solve the conflict. This can be difficult as few people find it easy to praise and appreciate a person they disagree strongly with, but it's a great wayTopic How to〔61〕___________ conflicts at workReason Conflicts won't〔62〕___________ if not dealt with〔63〕___________ on handlingconflicts● Don't be afraid of conflicts which are usually〔64〕___________● Interrupt the "waiting game", try to admit you r 〔65〕___________ actively and solve it soon or it will get 〔66〕___________● Don’t imagine people do something to make you〔67〕___________ on purpose.● Remember not to〔68〕___________ others, but ask them nicely about what they do, which may make a difference.● Try to appreciate the other part in the conflict though it is 〔69〕 __________to do so.〔70〕__________ If you learn to do with conflicts, you'll work in joy.六、书面表达〔总分值20分〕下列图反映的是网络时代所出现的一种问题，有些孩子沉溺于网上交流而无视了与父母的沟通。

高二英语寒假作业（四）第一部分阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）第一节 (共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分)阅读下列列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项。

并在答题卡上将该选项涂黑．AFarmers use different kinds of soil conservation methods to protect their land from damage by farming and the forces of nature. One important form of soil conservation is the use of windbreaks.Windbreaks are barriers (屏障) formed by trees and other plants with many leaves. Farmers plant them in lines around their fields. Windbreaks stop the wind from blowing soil away. They also keep the wind from destroying or damaging crops. They are very important for growing grains, such as wheat.There have been studies done on windbreaks in parts of West Africa, for example. They found that grain harvests can be twenty percent higher in fields protected by windbreaks compared to fields without such protection.However, windbreaks seem to work best when they allow a little wind to pass through. If the wall of trees and plants stops wind completely, then violent air motions will take place close to the ground. These motions will lift soil into the air where it will be blown away.For this reason, a windbreak is best if it has only sixty to eighty percent of the trees and plants needed to make a solid line.There should be at least two lines in each windbreak. One line should be large trees. The second line, right next to it, can be shorter trees and other plants with leaves. Locally grown trees and plants are best for windbreaks.1. What is a windbreak according to the passage?A. A windbreak is a concrete wall to prevent the strong winds.B. A windbreak is a wood with different kinds of trees.C. A windbreak is a wall of trees to hold soil in place.D. A windbreak is a wall of wind to fight wind from the opposite way.2. When can windbreaks be most effective?A. The trees are planted one by one.B. The trees and plants grow in a line.C. The trees grow as high as they can.D. Windbreaks allow a little wind to blow through.3. Which of the following statements is NOT true?A. A windbreak is one of the best forms of soil conversation.B. A windbreak is very good for growing grains such as wheat.C. One line of trees is enough for soil protection.D. Locally grown trees and plants are the top choice for a windbreak.BSome years ago, writing in my diary used to be a usual activity. I would return from school and spend the expected half hour recording the day’s events, feelings, and impressions in my little blue diary. I did not really need to express my emotions by way of words, but I gained a certain satisfaction from seeing my experiences forever recorded on paper. After all, isn’t accumulating memories a way of preserving the past?When I was thirteen years old, I went on a long journey on foot in a great valley, well-equipped with pens, a diary, and a camera. During the trip, I was busy recording every incident, name and place I came across. I felt proud to be spending my time productively, dutifully preserving for future generations a detailed description of my travels. On my last night there, I wandered out of my tent, diary in hand. The sky was clear and lit by the glare of the moon, and the walls of the valley looked threatening behind their screen of shadows. I automati cally took out my pen…At that point, I understood that nothing I wrote could ever match or replace the few seconds I allowed myself to experience the dramatic beauty of the valley. All I remembered of the previous few days were the dull characterizations I had set downin my diary.Now, I only write in my diary when I need to write down a special thought or feeling.I still love to record ideas and quotations that strike me in books, or observations that are particularly meaningful. I take pictures, but not very often—only of objects I find really beautiful. I’m no longer blindly satisfied with having something to remember when I grow old. I realize that life will simply pass me by if I stay behind the camera, busy preserving the present so as to live it in the future.I don’t want to wake up one day and have nothing but a pile of pictures and notes. Maybe I won’t have as many exact representations of people and places; maybe I’ll forget certain facts, but at least the experiences will always remain inside me. I don’t live to make memories—I just live, and the memories form themselves.1. Before the age of thirteen, the author regarded keeping a diary as a way of ______.A. observing her school routineB. expressing her satisfactionC. impressing her classmatesD. preserving her history2. What caused a change in the author’s understanding of keeping a diary?A. A dull night on the journey.B. The beauty of the great valley.C. A striking quotation from a book.D. Her concerns for future generations.3. What does the author put in her diary now?A. Notes and beautiful pictures.B. Special thoughts and feelings.C. Detailed accounts of daily activities.D. Descriptions of unforgettable events.4. The author comes to realize that to live a meaningful life is ______.A. to experience itB. to live the present in the futureC. to make memoriesD. to give accurate representations of itCPeople may have told you money doesn't grow on trees a million times before.but scientists have confirmed that gold is found in the leaves of some plants. Researchers from Australia say that the presence of the particles(微粒) in an eucalyptus tree's leaves indicates that deposits(矿藏) are buried many meters below. They believe that the discovery offers a new way to locate the valuable metal in difficult-to-reach locations.Dr. Mel Lintern from Australia's Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organization (CSTRO) said. "We've found a lot of the easy deposits in Australia in this way. Now we are trying to find the more difficult ones that are buried tens of meters below. And the trees are'providing us with a method to be able to do this."Using the Australian synchrotron - a vast machine that uses X-rays to explore matters in remarkable detail-they found gold in the leaves. twigs and barks of some trees. The amount of the precious metal in an eucalyptus tree's leaves were tiny. "We need 500 eucalyptus trees. Growing over a gold deposit to have enough gold in the trees themselves to make a gold ring," said Dr. Lintern. However, the presence of the particles pointed to richer deposits buried more than 30m below.Dr. Lintern said, "We believe that the trees are acting like a pump. They are bringing life-giving water from their roots, and in so doing. they are taking smaller dissolved gold particles up into the leaves."Currently, the metal is found in outcrops(地面岩层). where the ore(矿石) appears at the surface, or it is detected through exploratory drilling.But the researchers said that analyzing plants could offer a better and simpler method to detect untapped gold deposits. Dr. Lintern said. "Not only do we believe it is a way of saving the exploration cost, because exploring for these deposits can be quite expensive, it also minimizes the damage to the environment because we are taking a very small sample from the trees themselves. as well as the leaves and twigs on the ground. The plant-analyzing method is certain to work."1. Which of the following can be the best title of the passage?A. A new ways to locate metal deposits is found.B. Gold is found in many trees in Australia.C. Gold in trees can lead to hidden deposits.D. Dr. Mel Lintern discovered new gold deposits.2. According to Dr. Lintern , what helped them find a lot of the easy deposits in Australia?A. The pump.B. The water.C. The tree.D. The machine.3. Which of the following is NOT true about the plant-analyzing method?A. Expensive.B. Low cost.C. Easy and simpleD. environmental.4. We can infer that Dr. Lintern______.A. is not sure of the plant-analyzing methodB. is very content with what he has achievedC. is tired of detecting gold deposits in the wildD. is confldent of the plant-analyzing methodDThe clock struck eleven at night. The whole house was quiet. Everyone was in bed except me. Under the strong light, I looked sadly before me at a huge pile of that troublesome stuff they call “books”.I was going to have my examination the next day. “When can I go to bed?” I asked myself. I didn’t answer. In fact I dared not.The clock struck twel ve. “Oh, dear!” I cried. “Ten more books to read before I can go to bed!” We pupils are the most wretched creatures in the world. Dad does not agree with me on this. He did not have to work so hard when he was a boy.The clock struck one. I was quite desperate now. I forgot all I had learned. I was too tired to go on. I did the only thing I could. I prayed, “Oh God, please help me pass the exam tomorrow. I do promise to work hard afterwards, Amen.” My eyes were so heavy that I could hardly open them. A few minutes later, with my head on the desk,I fell asleep.1. The underlined word “wretched” in Paragraph 3 probably means ____________.A. happyB. disappointedC. hopefulD. unhappy2.

ABetter known by his stage name KUN, Cai Xukun is a phenomenon, opening up the music industry in China.Last year, after participating in the reality TV show Idol Producer, receiving the most votes from fans, the singer-songwriter rose to fame overnight. At just 21 years old, Cai has topped Chinese music charts with multiple singles.On July 26, KUN released his newest single Young. Within just 20 seconds, it reached a million sales.KUN wrote the song to share his understanding of youth. He mixed R&B and electronic beats（节拍）to make it more cheerful. A reviewer wrote on QQ Music, "When you listen to the song, you just seem to go back to youth again."The song was an early birthday present to himself which he celebrated on Aug 2. KUN also hopes that he always has the courage to pursue（追求）his love of music, no matter what people think. "My works are like my children and I have put my best effort into them." he told the Global Times.Indeed, KUN has written and produced most of his songs on his own. "I want every piece of my work to have my own spirit in it,”he told music website Soundigest, "I feelmore enjoyment when I'm performing my own work."Although KUN loves performing onstage, when the lights go down, he prefers to fall back into his own world and darkness at night. "I always get inspired when it's quiet, late at night/' he told I-D magazine, “It's a great moment for me to create new things. Sometimes, I can write songs with a melody（旋律）I heard in a dream.”To develop his introspection（反思）and find new inspiration, KUN attends different kinds of musical performances—from festivals to opera houses. "I just like to do everything, all for my music, all for my art,”he told I-D.With such talent and dedication to music, it seems that KUN will continue to make his mark in the competitive Chinese music industry.21. What do we know about KUN's newest single?A. It earns him a birthday present.B. It makes people feel happy and energetic.C. It shows how he pursues his dream.D. It combines jazz and electronic music.22. What does KUN usually do to get inspiration for music?A. He goes to music shows.B. He talks to famous singers.C. He attends music classes.D. He finds melodies in his dreams.23. Which would best describe KUN?A. Courageous and patient.B. Talented and humorous.C. Hardworking and creative.D. Optimistic and outgoing.BReading books and looking at pictures is great, but nothing facilitates（促进）learning like travel, especially for teenagers. Not only do they get to see a world beyond their neighborhood, they also get to experience it—feel it, taste it, hear it and better understand the world around them.After nearly four decades in the classroom and traveling the world, Phyllis Duvall Bailey knew this perhaps better than anyone else.Becoming involved in the work in AKA Sorority Inc in US, she worked to educate children about the United Nations. There was no doubt in Bailey's mind that the lessons would mean so much more if the students could see things for themselves.Starting in 2015, Bailey, 82, set out to take her students to the UN Headquarters in New York City to give them a "Window Seat to the World", and thus transformed them into global citizens.Indeed, it is a great opportunity to give students national and international exposure. Since Bailey saw the students as future leaders, she was desperate to expose them to the UN, its mission, its agendas（议程）and its supporting organizations.She decided to give $10, 000 of her own money to pay for the late June trip, enough to take 10 students aged 14-17 on a four-night stay in New York. There, they had guided tours of the UN Headquarters and the New York City Harbor（海港）.It was Quenyaun Payne's first trip to the city and Taylor Sappington's second. Payne, 17, is a senior at Mceachem High School in the state of Georgia, US. Sappington, 15, is a junior at Therrell High School in Atlanta, Georgia, US. Both said their visit to the UN was inspiring."I like not only how countries are working together but they're focused on common goals like global warming and keeping peace," Sappington said.Payne commented, "The trip was amazing. I'm so thankful Mrs. Bailey made it possible."Actually, there are a lot of people grateful for the retired teacher's effort. The United Nations Association of Atlanta recently gave Bailey its Humanitarian Award, and the United Nations Association of the US-awarded her with the National Education Award.But Bailey wasn't looking for recognition or even gratitude. Over those four days in New York, she'd already felt it and seen it in the eyes of those 10 teenagers, Payne and Sappington included, who made the trip.“It has been a real joy to get to see and watch their reaction to new experiences," she said.24. The underlined word "this" in Paragraph 2 refers to _____ .A. the benefits of travelingB. good reading habitsC. new teaching methodsD. the things teenagers like25. How did Bailey help students?A. She offered them voluntary opportunities at the UN.B. She paid for trips that helped students see the world.C. She paid for them to go to school in other countries.D. She taught them some useful life-long reading skills.26. What can we infer from Sappington's words?A. He determines to work for the UN in the future.B. He shows no interest in global affairs at all.C. He finds the trip to the UN greatly instructive.D. He wants to visit New York City once again.27. What made Bailey most joyful according to the passage?A. Students' gratitude.B. Social recognition.C. Students' gains.D. Official awards.CNature calms our stressed-out soul. Nature is the best medicine, but new research is showing how little time we need to set aside to harvest the benefits.In one new study, researchers tried to find the most effective "dose”（药剂）of nature within the context of normal daily life. As more doctors prescribe（开药方）nature experiences for stress relief and other health benefits—sometimes referred to as a "nature pill"—the study's authors hoped to make the details of these treatments clear."We know that spending time in nature reduces stress, but until now it is unclear how much is enough, how often to do it, or even what kind of nature experience will benefit us," says lead author MaryCarol Hunter in a statement. "Our study shows that for the greatest payoff, in terms of efficiently lowering levels of the stress hormone cortisone（压力荷尔蒙激素），you should spend 20 to 30 minutes sitting or walking in a place that provides youwith a sense of nature."A nature pill can be a low-cost, low-risk way to curb the negative effects of urbanization and indoor lifestyle. To find the most efficient dosage, Hunter and her co-authors asked 36 city citizens to have nature experiences of at least 10 minutes three times per week over eight weeks.Every two weeks, the researchers collected saliva（唾液）samples to measure levels of the stress hormone cortisone, both before and after the participants took a nature pill. The data showed that just a 20-minute nature experience was enough to significantly reduce cortisone levels. The effect was more efficient between 20 and 30 minutes, after which benefits continued to increase but at a slower rate.That fits with the findings of another recent study, which found that spending 20 minutes in an urban park can make you happier, no matter whether you use that time to exercise.For this study, 94 adults visited 3 urban parks in Mountain Brook, Alabama, completing a questionnaire about their subjective well-being before and after their visit. An accelerometer(加速计tracked their physical activity.A visit lasting 20 to 25 minutes showed the best results, with a roughly 64% increase in the participants' self-reported well-being, even if they didn't move a great deal in the park. That last point is particularly positive, since it means anyone can benefit from visiting a nearby park, whatever his or her age or physical ability."There is increasing pressure on green space within urban settings," said a UAB professor Gavin Jenkins. "Planners and developers look to replace green space withresidential（住宅的）and commercial property. The challenge facing cities is that there is increasing evidence about the value of city parks but we continue to see the disappearance of these spaces."28. The authors of the study expected toA. study the treatments of nature in detailB. find an effective way to treat stressC. introduce the benefits of "nature pill"D. share some rewarding nature experiences29. What does the underlined word "curb" in Paragraph 4 probably mean?A. experienceB. realizeC. controlD. produce30. What does the first study mainly show?A. We should stay in nature as long as possible.B. Many health problems are caused by great pressure.C. Lack of exercise may greatly increase cortisone levels.D. A short period of time in nature is enough to reduce stress.31. What does Gavin Jenkins want to express in the last paragraph?A. Big cities should provide more sports facilities（设施）.B. City developers should spare more green spaces.C. Visiting parks benefits people's physical health.D. City planners should invest more in the property.DThe Internet has completely changed the workplace over the past three decades.Artificial Intelligence is now all set to do the same, and businesses that don't take advantage of the technology risk being left behind.Global tech giants（巨头）like Amazon have been leading the change, and businesses of all sizes are now using the technology for employing and managing their staff.Among them is L'Oreal. With about a million applicants for roughly 15,000 new positions each year, the company is using AI to hire."We really wanted to save time and focus more on quality, diversity and candidate experience. And AI solutions were the best way to go faster on these challenges, said Eva Azoulay, global vice-president of L'Oreal's Human Resources Department.The company uses Mya, a chatbot, to save employers' time during the first stage of the process. It handles routine questions from candidates, and checks details such as availability and visa requirements. Should candidates make it to the next round, they’ll run into Seedlink, an AI software that scores applicants based on their answers to open-ended interview questions. These scores don't replace human judgment, said Azoulay, but they do pick out candidates who might not seem like obvious choices.Early results have been promising. For one internship program, where 12,000 people apply for about 80 spots, employers claim they saved 200 hours of time while hiring the most diverse group to date.Other businesses have gone beyond employment and are using AI to help manage employees. Some UK firms have started using Isaak, a system designed by the London-based company StatusToday, to track how many hours staff spend online and the number of emails they receive. London real estate agent JBrown has been using this system sinceMarch. CEO James Brown said it helps the firm understand employees' habits and prevent them from overworking. "It enables us to solve bottleneck problems and relieve overburdened employees,"he said.Despite these examples of good practice, there is still a long way for AI to reach its full potential（潜力），and the technology comes with risks. Another AI danger could be its impact on jobs through automation（自动化）. McKinsey predicts AI could add $13 trillion to the global economy by 2030, with early adopters doubling their cash flow over that period. But the demand for repetitive（重复的）or digitally-unskilled jobs could drop by around 10%, the consulting firm said in a 2018 report.32. What can we learn about AI technology from Paragraph 1?A. It causes a great problem in workplace.B. It will replace the Internet in the future.C. It requires businesses to invest much money.D. It will become a necessary part of business.33. L'Oreal uses AI in its hiring process to __ .A. pick out the most suitable candidates directlyB. come up with more questions unlimitedlyC. improve the company's hiring efficiencyD. save money by replacing human judgment34. Firms with the system Isaak can __________ .A. prevent their employees from surfing the InternetB. force their employees to form good working habitsC. monitor the contents of all their employees' emailsD. help their employees avoid being overstressed at work35. The passage is mainly developed by __________ .A. setting examplesB. making comparisonsC. examining differencesD. following the time order第二节（共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5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。
