广东省广州市2017届高考英语二模试卷+答案+解析

广东省广州市2017届普通高中毕业班综合测试(二模)英语试题第二部分阅读理解Many people would love to leave their jobs behind and have a life﹣changing adventure overseas.They imagine lying under palm trees as the sun goes down.However,life overseas is not always easy,and many are not prepared for the shock of living in an alien culture.The honeymoon periodAt first,for those who actually decide to move abroad,life is an exciting adventure.They enjoy exploring their new surroundings,and life seems like an extended holiday.They don't mind trying the local cuisine and discovering the local culture.They can even afford to practice their foreign﹣language skills without fear of making mistakes.Trouble in paradiseIn many cases,when people consider moving to another country,they often fail to realize how different life will be.As time goes by,they become frustrated when language and cultural misunderstandings become a daily headache.In this stage,the visitors begin to withdraw from life in the host country and avoid spending time with local people in favor of mixing with others from their own cultural background.The road to recoveryGradually,most visitors realize they must accept the differences and not fight against them.This change encourages them to improve their language skills and slowly they manage to do the things they could easily do at home,such as opening a bank account.This new﹣found confidence enables them to see a side of life which very few tourists get to witness.Adjusting to life abroad can often be a real problem.The secret to overcoming it is to stop trying to change your host country:you will not succeed.If not,you risk losing your dream and having to return to the old life you wanted to leave behind.21.Why do people moving abroad feel excited at first?A.They find foreign living much easier.B.They have the necessary language skills.C.They love the adventure and exploration.D.They enjoy meeting people from different cultures.22.According to the author,what is the main problem many people moving abroad face?A.Homesickness.B.Culture shock.C.Health problems.D.Lack of employment.23.What would the author suggest people moving abroad do?A.Study the local language.B.Go on holidays frequently.C.Learn how to open a bank account.D.Seek out people from their home country.Australia loves interesting money.In 1988,it was the first country to replace paper money with special plastic banknotes.Now it's introduced a new five﹣dollar bill so technologically advanced that many experts are calling it the money of the future!At first glance,the new note looks much like the old one.It has the same pink colour and main pictures on the front and back.But look closer,and you will notice a clear window running down the middle,surrounded by images of the yellow Prickly Moses,a type of Australian plant.Tilt(使倾斜)the note a little and you will see the Eastern Spinebill,an Australian bird,beating its wings as if trying to fly away.Turn the bill from side to side,and you will notice the picture of a small building at the bottom of the note spins,and the image of"5"changes position.While these moveable features are impressive and entertaining,that was not the reason Australian government officials spent ten years developing them.Their primary purpose was to make it impossible for criminals to produce their own fake notes.The new five﹣dollar note also has something to help blind people easily identify the money.It has s raised bump alongside the top and bottom,enabling blind people to quickly determine its value.The credit for persuading the Australian government to add this all﹣important bump goes to 15﹣year﹣old Connor McLeod.The blind Sydney teenager came up with the idea in 2014 after being unable to tell how much money he had received for Christmas.Connor says he was so embarrassed at not being able to see the difference between notes that he only carried coins to pay for food at not being able to see the difference between notes that he only carried coins to pay for food at the school cafeteria.To convince the government officials of his idea,Connor started a website that got huge public attention.The government will add this feature to the new 10 bill which comes out in late 2017,as well as the updated 20,50,and 100bills that are still being designed.24.Which picture does NOT move when the banknote is tilted?A.The bird.B.The number.C.The plants.D.The building.25.What was the main reason the Australian government created the new banknote?A.To make the note more difficult to copy.B.To show the country's advanced technology.C.To help blind people more easily use money.D.To make the not's appearance more attractive.26.What can we guess about Australian coins?A.They are different in size or shape.B.They are required in school cafeterias.C.They are more frequently used than notes.D.They are more convenient for young people.27.What did Connor do to persuade the government?A.He wrote a letter to the leaders.B.He organized an online meeting.C.He sought support on the Internet.D.He requested a special Christmas gift.At this year's Technology Forum,speakers include world﹣famous people,such as SteveWozniak,co﹣founder of Apple Computer,and lesser﹣known individuals with great ideas to change the world.One of the latter is Jonny Cohen,a high school senior,green businessman and creator of GreenShields.Since Cohen was a child,he has been innovating and inventing.When he was 12 and took science classes at Northwestern University,he saw a school bus and had an idea:what if the shape of school bus was improved to make it more fuel efficient?This would greatly reduce the amount of pollution it produced.He set about making a wind tunnel in his parents'garage and placed small metal plates or shields on toy school buses to test them.The result:his shields redirected the airflow over and around the bus,decreased wing drag,and produced better fuel economy and less pollution.Cohen went through various experiments to improve his GreenShields invention.With the help of MIT and Cook﹣Illinois Bus Company,which donated a full﹣sized bus for Cohen's experiments,he now has a shield model that is inexpensive and easy to attach,enabling widespread adoption.average US school bus is seven miles per gallon.GreenShields increases fuel efficiency by 10﹣20%,saving about 600 per bus per year,and costs only 30 to attach.Cohen and his partners are now trying to persuade the government to put GreenShields on all school buses.With almost half﹣a﹣million school buses in America using nearly 2.5 billion of fuel per year,a consumption reduction of 10﹣20% would make a big difference in pollution.Not to mention the roughly 285 million in annual savings on fuel.28.What can we learn about Jonny Cohen from the text?A.He has produced GreenShields independently.B.He has been employed to improve school buses.C.He is a world﹣famous businessman and inventor.D.He has a talent for finding and solving problems.29.How does GreenShields make a bus more fuel efficient?A.By reducing the amount of wind drag.B.By improving the quality of fuel used.C.By providing a wind tunnel for the bus.D.By changing the shape of the bus engine.30.Where did Cohen begin testing his shields?A.At Northwestern University.B.In his parents'garage.C.At a local bus company.D.In an MIT lab.31.What's the intended benefit of Cohen's invention?A.To provide school buses with cheaper fuel.B.To reduce the cost of producing school buses.C.To increase the profits of the school bus industry.D.To make school buses more environmentally﹣friendly.We all know the feeling:looking at the computer screen,pretending to be interested in our homework,even though we really feel bored.But such feelings may soon be at an end,says Dr.Harry Witchel,head of the Essex Medical School.He believes that computers of the future will notice when people feel bored and even take action to stop it.Before you get concerned,the machine won't be reading your mind.It will be observing the many movements you make while using a computer.It's not interested in the big movements needed to use the machine 一like moving a mouse or touching a screen﹣but small,barely noticeable movements like closing your eyes,moving in your seat or rubbing your face.Witchel calls these"boredom movements"and says they show how interested the person is in what they are reading or watching.The higher the interest level,the less movement!activities ranged from playing online games (an interesting task)to reading documents like government laws that most people would find boring.A special video camera followed the participants'movements as they completed each task.Just as the researcher expected,the"boredom movements"greatly decreased,by as much as 42%,when the subjects were very interested in what they were reading or seeing.Fortunately,Dr Witchel isn't planning to use his results to create machines that report students who are not paying attention at school.Instead,he wants"movement sensing"technology to be builtinto future computers in order to improve students'computer﹣based learning experience.The scientist says that by measuring the students'interest level as they work,educators will be able to adjust their materials in real﹣time to keep students focused.Witchel also believes that the technology can provide filmmakers with honest audience opinions and in the future,help to develop more intelligent robots.32.What does the underlined word"it"in Paragraph 1 refer to?A.Homework.B.A computer.C.Boredom.D.The future.33.Why did Dr Witchel carry out his research?A.To discover how bored people move.B.To find out what makes people bored.C.To see if interested people are more active.D.To test the link between boredom and movement.34.Which movement would Witchel's technology most likely pay attention to?A.Turning off the machine.B.Typing words on a keyboard.C.Surfing quickly between webpages.D.Moving one's head from side to side.35.How will the new technology help education,according to Witchel?A.By reducing teachers'workload.B.By maintaining students'learning interest.C.By reporting students'misbehavior in class.D.By making learning more like a computer game.第二节(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.Philadelphia is a city known for many things.It is where the Declaration

muralsthan any other city on Earth.(37)More than 20years ago,a New Jersey artist named Jane Golden started a program pairing troubled youth with artists to paint murals on a few buildings around the

kinds of people during the painting.They learned to be responsible,because they needed to follow a schedule to make sure the murals were completed.(39)It is hard for anyone to see the spectacular designs and not feel proud to be a part of Philadelphia.Take a walk around some of the poorest neighborhoods in Philadelphia and you will find beautiful works of art on the side and fronts of buildings.Of course the murals are not just in poor neighborhoods,but richer ones as well.Special buses take tourists to different parts of the city to see the various murals,which show the diverse ethnic groups that call Philadelphia home.(40)It is also a model for other cities throughout America seeking to help troubled youth.A.How did this come to be?B.What happened to the murals on Earth?C.They also learned to take pride in their community.D.But one fact about Philadelphia is not so well﹣known.E.From this some project,something magical happened.F.The program encouraged troubled youth to paint together with their teachers.G.As a result of its success,the murals program has now become the nation's largest public art program.第三部分英语知识运用第一节完形填空When you give thanks for

Lake.But there's another classical dance form with a long history (61)has only recently burst onto the world scene.It is called classical Chinese dance.Classical Chinese dance is (62)incredibly demanding,refined,and expressive dance form.Alongside ballet,it is also one of the most comprehensive dance systems (63)(know)to humankind.(64)recently,few people outside China had ever heard of classical Chinese dance.One major reason was that when Chinese companies performed abroad,they often mixed Chinese dance with western dance style.And so the audience left the theater not sure exactly

承接上文,take pride in 引出下文,承上启下,符合文意.故正确答案为C.40.G本段是最后一段,全文介绍了费城城市壁画的起源、巨大的影响,因而此处是对上文的总结.G项意为"由于它的成功,这个壁画项目已经成为整个国家最大的公共艺术项目",是对费城壁画的地位评价,总结全文,符合文意.故正确答案为G.【点评】本文是一个选句填空类阅读理解,题目涉及多道细节理解题,做题时结合原文和题目有针对性的找出相关语句进行仔细分析,结合选项选出正确答案.推理判断题也是要在抓住关键句子的基础上合理的分析才能得出正确答案,切忌胡乱猜测,一定要做到有理有据.第三部分英语知识运用第一节完形填空【考点】M1:人物故事.【分析】文章主要讲述了向帮助过你的人表达谢意,它的影响将持续得比你的预期更长,研究人员发现撰写感谢信可以提升人们的幸福感最多至六个月.如果你在日记中写下感谢,你自己会更开心.但如果你把这份感激与帮助过你的人分享,你们俩会更亲近.【解答】41﹣45.C

realise…也提到了effects 这个词.所以这里effects 为最佳选项.time 意为"时间",thoughts 意为"思想",relationship 意为"关系",均不符合文意.故正确答案为C.42.B考查动词.结合文意,研究人员发现撰写感谢信可以提升人们的幸福感(happiness)最多至六个月.还有,根据第二段第一句it makes you happier 中的happier 一词也可以推断,这里说的是幸福层次.education 意为"教育",income 意为"收入",health 意为"健康",均不符合文意.故正确答案为B.43.A考查动词.结合文意,如果你在日记中写下感谢,你自己会更开心.但如果你把这份感激与帮助过你的人分享(share),你们俩会更亲近.complete 意为"完成",compare 意为"比较",leave 意为"离开",均不符合文意.故正确答案为A.44.D考查名词.结合文意,如果你把这份感激与帮助过你的人分享,就有可能(potential)使你们俩关系变得更亲近.potential 意为"潜能,可能",为文章最佳选项.method 意为"方法",desire 意为"渴望",energy 意为"能量",均不符合文意,故正确答案为D.45.A考查形容词.结合文意,他对生活感到绝望和沮丧(discouraged).由and 可知前后应该是同一类形容词,depressed 与discouraged 都表示消极的意义,符合逻辑.并且,由后一句的"他与妻子离婚…"也可推知,他的生活正遭遇不幸,所以discouraged 符合文意.dishonest 意为"不诚实的,欺骗的",impatient 意为"没有耐心的",surprised 意为"感到惊讶的",均不符合文意.故正确答案为A.46.C考查形容词.结合文意,他的妻子与他离婚了,孩子跟他也不亲近(close).close 这里意为"亲近的,亲密的",符合文意.bored 意为"感到无聊的",strict 意为"严格的",honest 意为"诚实的",均不符合文意.故正确答案为C.47.D考查形容词.结合前半句文意,他感到很疲惫.由此可以推断出是非常长(long)时间的工作使他感到疲惫.limited 意为"有限的,限制的",正好与文意相反,排除.valuable 意为"有价值的,宝贵的",delightful 意为"令人愉快的,令人高兴的",均不符合文意.故正确答案为D.48.B考查形容词.结合上下文,都是说他生活遭遇不幸,处在低谷的事情.所以推断这里意为"当他处在生活中一个特别(particularly)低潮的时期时,他想起了爷爷对他说的话…"At a low point 意为"在低谷时",particularly 意为"尤其,特别",修饰形容词low,符合文意.importantly 意为"重要地",physically 意为"物理上,身体上",exactly 意为"恰恰,确切地",均不符合文意.故正确答案为B.49.C结合上下文文意,都是在说表达感谢可以提升人的幸福层次,并且由下文的He decided to write 365 thank﹣you notes over 365 days,说明他要去写感谢信给别人了.推断出这里意为"他想起了爷爷告诉过他感恩(gratefulness)的重要性".forgiveness 意为"原谅",achievement 意为"成就",patience 意为"耐心",均不符合文意.故正确答案为C.50.A考查形容词.结合文意,他决定在接下来的365天内要写365封感谢信,希望生活能有一个积极的(positive)转变.unexpected 意为"不可预料的,出乎意料的",这里如果用unexpected 就和动词hope(希望)矛盾,如果是"希望"的话,说明结果在预料之中了,所以排除.possible 意为"可能的",instant 意为"立刻的,马上的",均不符合文意.故正确答案为A.51.B考查名词.结合文意,不久,他就注意到他的生活态度(attitude)变得更好了.结合下文的you become more positive 可以得出说的是"你整个人都变得积极向上了",所以这里应该是指生活态度变得更好.wealth 意为"财富,财产",position 意为"位置,地位",competence 意为"能力,技能",均不符合文意.故正确答案为B.52.D考查形容词.结合文意,"你的生活会变得比你想象的要好,并且生活态度也变得积极了."这是Kralik 在做完非常简单的(simple)表达感谢的举动之后说的话.由前文提到的他只是写了几封感谢信(thank﹣you note)来表达感谢,所以这种方式是非常简单而不复杂的.generous 意为"大方的,慷慨的",strange 意为"奇怪的,陌生的",brave 意为"勇敢的",均不符合文意.故正确答案为D.53.B考查动词短语.结合文意,受到Kralik 经历的激励(inspired),"我"自己也决定试一试.strick 意为"击打,攻击",shock 意为"使…震惊",invite 意为"邀请",均不符合文意.故正确答案为B.54.A考查米名词.结合文意,受到Kralik 经历的激励,"我"自己也决定试一试这个主意(idea).belief 意为"信任,信念",letter 意为"书信",test 意为"测试",均不符合文意.故正确答案为A.55.D考查名词.结合上文,作者看到Kralik 的生活发生积极的改变之后,自己也决定开始尝试向别人写感谢信这种方法.所以推断这里意为"他选择了一个以前从没(never)感谢过的人".nearly 意为"几乎,差不多",frequently 意为"频繁地",already 意为"已经",均不符合文意.故正确答案为D.56.C考查动词.结合后半句句意,但是"我"最终还是发现了他的住址,推断出这里是"我"不知道"我"是否能找到他.locate 这里意为"定位,查找…的地点",符合文意.remember 意为"记住",recognise 意为"认出;识别",reward 意为"奖励",不符合文意.故正确答案为C.57.D考查名词.结合文意,在信中,"我"对于老师在前些年给"我"的指导(guidance)和支持表示了感谢.这里的guidance 是对于教师这个职业来说,给予学生的指导.degree 意为"程度",money 意为"金钱",gift 意为"礼物",均不符合文意.故正确答案为D.58.C考查介词短语.结合文意,反过来(in return),"我"可能永远不会收到他的回信.这里的hear from(收到…的回信)也提示此处要表达的是"反过来"的意思,意为从收信人那边得到反馈.in advance 意为"提前,预先",in public 意为"公开地,当众",in person 意为"亲自,亲身",均不符合文意.故正确答案为C.59.B考查名词.结合文意,"我"可能永远不会收到老师的回信,但是那并不是重点(point).point 在这里意为"要点,重点".case 意为"案例,情况",fact 意为"事实",solution 意为"解决方法",均不符合文意.故正确答案为B.60.A考查动词.结合后半句句意,"我"现在已经高兴了好几个月了,推断出前面意为"这封信使我对生活充满感激(appreciate)".understand 意为"理解,明白",face 意为"面对",review 意为"复习",均不符合文意.故正确答案为A.【点评】本文是一个人物故事类完形填空,题目涉及多道细节理解题,做题时结合原文和题目有针对性的找出相关语句进行仔细分析,结合选项选出正确答案.推理判断题也是要在抓住关键句子的基础上合理的分析才能得出正确答案,切忌胡乱猜测,一定要做到有理有据.第二节(满分15分)阅读下面材料,在空白处填入适当的内容(1个单词)或括号内单词的正确形式.【考点】N6:语法填空.【分析】本文主要介绍古典中国舞.作为我国舞蹈艺术中的一个类别,是在民族民间传统舞蹈的基础上,经过历代专业工作者提炼、整理、加工、创造,并经过较长期艺术实践的检验流传下来的具有一定典范意义的古典风格的特色舞蹈.【解答】61.which/that 分析句子结构可知这是一个定语从句,先行词classical dance form 在从句中作主语,用关系代词which/that.62.an 考查冠词.form是名词,单数形式前加不定冠词a表示泛指,因incredibly读音以发元音开头,用不定冠词an.63.known 考查过去分词.be known to意为"为…所熟知",是固定搭配,过去分词短语known to humankind作后置定语.。

Influenced by her 9 culture,she felt it too 10 to leave the tea and could not understand why the host took no notice of her protests (抗议) that she had had enough!二、阅读理解3. 阅读理解Doctor Seuss was born in 1904. By the middle 1950s,he had become one of the best-loved and most successful childr en's book writers in the world. His books are very popular with young readers. They enjoy the invented words and the pictures of unusual funny animals and plants.In 1954,life magazine published a report about school children who could not read. The report said many children's booA new report says more and more international students are attending colleges and universities in the United States. It also notes a large increase in the number of international students from China.These findings are from the latest Open Doors Report. The report documents the record number of international studen ts in the United States during 2012,2013 school year. It says more than seven hundred sixty-four thousand four-hundred such students were attending American colleges and universities during the last two years. That represents an increase of almost six percent than one year earlier.On the other hand,the number of Americans studying overseas(海外) increased by one percent,which reached ninet een thousand this year.The report says one hundred ninety-four thousand students at American colleges and universities were from China. That is an increase of more than twenty-three percent over the year before. Peggy Blumenthal,an expert of international education, described the effect of the increase in Chinese students."Now they have been coming for some time. But this year was the highest level ever." She says many Chinese families are able to pay for the highest-quality education for their children. The children mainly choose to study in America."We know many of them have enough income to be able to afford to send them anywhere in the world that they want to go. And for the most part,looking around the world,Chinese students still prefer to come to the United States as their choice."Chinese students are not the only ones who want to attend American colleges and universities. After China,India sends the second largest number of students to the United States for higher education. India has about one hundred thousand stude nts in American schools. South Korea is third with about seventy-two thousand students.Why do so many foreign students study in the United States? Peggy Blumenthal provides one reason."The advantage America has is that we have a huge system and a very perfect system. So there are over four thousan d universities and colleges in the United States. Among them are some top ones in the world,and what that tells us is there is still a lot of room to host international students."Foreign students represent less than four percent of the total student population in American higher education.And from Learning English,that's the VOA Special English Education Report. I'm Bob Doughty. Thanks for listening.(1) Bob Doughty seems to be ________.(2) Which country below has the fewest students studying overseas?(3) Which is NOT the reason why so many Chinese students go to the USA for further study?(4) Which of the following statement is true?(5) This passage from VOA Special English is most likely to be ________.6. 阅读理解VisasTravelers to France must have a valid passport (有效护照). Visitors from EEC (欧共体) countries and America do not need visas,but visitors from other countries should contact the nearest French consulate (领事馆) or tourist office about gettin g one before travelling.ArrivalYou could arrive at one of the two airports serving Paris.Charles de Gaulle is bigger and more modern.

Cold weather during winter months may keep many people from1home and running in the open air. 2 , a new study shows 3 the drop in temperature is a good reason to run. In fact, researchers say, running in cold weather4improve one’s performance(身体机能). Many people say running in winter is difficult. Two reasons are the low temperatures and bitter winds. Yet many runners might find5 easier than running in hot weather. That could be because lower temperatures reduce stress on the body. When you run in cold weather, your heart rate is6than in warmer conditions.Besides, the body needs less water7 a cold day than in warm weather. This information comes from John Brewer, a sports scientist at St. Mary’s University in London. Brewer says every movement runners make produces heat.Heexplains that one way in which we lose heat 8 by sweating, and that the body also loses heat bytransportingthe blood to the surface of the skin. But sweating puts much strain(张力)on the heart, particularly in hot conditions because it is9 harder to lose heat when the external environment is warm10 .In addition, running in higher temperatures results in faster heart rates. Scientists found,11 , that heart rates were about 6 percent higher in the hotter conditions. However, running in cooler temperatures has 12 advantages.One is that the body does not have to work so hard to pump blood to the 13 surface in cooler temperatures, whichmeans running requires less energy. Several websites note that the most important thing for people14run in cold conditions is to wear the right clothing. And especially, keeping as dryas possible is very important15exercising in low temperatures. (294 words)( )1.A. leave B. leaving C. left D. to leave( )2.A. But B. Therefore C.

广东省广州市2017年高考英语二模试卷(解析版)-(1)广东省广州市2017年高考英语二模试卷(解析版)第二部分阅读理解21.(6分)Many people would love to leave their jobs behind and have a life﹣changing adventure overseas.They imagine lying under palm trees as the sun goes down.However,life overseas is not always easy,and many are not prepared for the shock of living in an alien culture.The honeymoon periodAt first,for those who actually decide to move abroad,life is an exciting adventure.They enjoy exploring their new surroundings,and life seems like an extended holiday.They don't mind trying the local cuisine and discovering the local culture.They can even afford to practice their foreign﹣language skills without fear of making mistakes.Trouble in paradiseIn many cases,when people consider moving to another country,they often fail to realize how different life will be.As time goes by,they become frustrated when language and cultural misunderstandings become a daily headache.In this stage,the visitors begin to withdraw from life in the host country and avoid spending time with local people in favor of mixing with others from their own cultural background.The road to recoveryGradually,most visitors realize they must accept the differences and not fight against them.This change encourages them to improve their language skills and slowly they manage to do the things they could easily do at home,such as opening a bank account.This new﹣found confidence enables them to see a side of life which very few tourists get to witness.Adjusting to life abroad can often be a real problem.The secret to overcoming it is to stop trying to change your host country:you will not succeed.If not,you risk losing your dream and having to return to the old life you wanted to leave behind.21.Why do people moving abroad feel excited at first?A.They find foreign living much easier.B.They have the necessary language skills.C.They love the adventure and exploration.D.They enjoy meeting people from different cultures.22.According to the author,what is the main problem many people moving abroad face?A.Homesickness.B.Culture shock.C.Health problems.D.Lack of employment.23.What would the author suggest people moving abroad do?A.Study the local language.B.Go on holidays frequently.C.Learn how to open a bank account.D.Seek out people from their home country.24.(8分)Australia loves interesting money.In 1988,it was the first country to replace paper money with special plastic banknotes.Now it's introduced a new five﹣dollar bill so technologically advanced that many experts are calling it the money of the future!At first glance,the new note looks much like the old one.It has the same pink colour and main pictures on the front and back.But look closer,and you will notice a clear window running down the middle,surrounded by images of the yellow Prickly Moses,a type of Australianplant.Tilt(使倾斜) the note a little and you will see the Eastern Spinebill,an Australian bird,beating its wings as if trying to fly away.Turn the bill from side to side,and you will notice the picture of a small building at the bottom of the note spins,and the image of"5"changes position.While these moveable features are impressive and entertaining,that was not the reason Australian government officials spent ten years developing them.Their primary purpose was to make it impossible for criminals to produce their own fake notes.The new five﹣dollar note also has something to help blind people easily identify the money.It has s raised bump alongside the top and bottom,enabling blind people to quickly determine its value.The credit for persuading the Australian government to add this all﹣important bump goes to 15﹣year﹣old Connor McLeod.The blind Sydney teenager came up with the idea in 2014 after being unable to tell how much money he had received for Christmas.Connor says he was so embarrassed at not being able to see the difference between notes that he only carried coins to pay for food at not being able to see the difference between notes that he only carried coins to pay for food at the school cafeteria.To convince the government officials of his idea,Connor started a website that got huge public attention.The government will add this feature to the new 10 bill which comes out in late 2017,as well as the updated 20,50,and 100bills that are still being designed.24.Which picture does NOT move when the banknote is tilted?A.The bird.B.The number.C.The plants.D.The building.25.What was the main reason the Australian government created the new banknote?A.To make the note more difficult to copy.B.To show the country's advanced technology.C.To help blind people more easily use money.D.To make the not's appearance more attractive.26.What can we guess about Australian coins?A.They are different in size or shape.B.They are required in school cafeterias.C.They are more frequently used than notes.D.They are more convenient for young people.27.What did Connor do to persuade the government?A.He wrote a letter to the leaders.B.He organized an online meeting.C.He sought support on the Internet.D.He requested a special Christmas gift.28.(8分)At this year's Technology Forum,speakers include world﹣famous people,such as Steve Wozniak,co﹣founder of Apple Computer,and lesser﹣known individuals with great ideas to change the world.One of the latter is Jonny Cohen,a high school senior,green businessman and creator of GreenShields.Since Cohen was a child,he has been innovating and inventing.When he was 12 and took science classes at Northwestern University,he saw a school bus and had an idea:what if the shape of school bus was improved to make it more fuel efficient?This would greatly reduce the amount of pollution it produced.He set about making a wind tunnel in his parents'garage and placed small metal plates or shields on toy school buses to test them.The result:his shields redirected the airflow over and around the bus,decreased wing drag,and produced better fuel economy and less pollution.Cohen went through various experiments to improve his GreenShieldsinvention.With the help of MIT and Cook﹣Illinois Bus Company,which donated a full﹣sized bus for Cohen's experiments,he now has a shield model that is inexpensive and easy to attach,enabling widespread adoption.How much of an impact can these shields have on climate change?Fuel consumption for the average US school bus is seven miles per gallon.GreenShields increases fuel efficiency by 10﹣20%,saving about 600 per bus per year,and costs only 30 to attach.Cohen and his partners are now trying to persuade the government to put GreenShields on all school buses.With almost half﹣a﹣million school buses in America using nearly 2.5 billion of fuel per year,a consumption reduction of 10﹣20% would make a big difference in pollution.Not to mention the roughly 285 million in annual savings on fuel.28.What can we learn about Jonny Cohen from the text?A.He has produced GreenShields independently.B.He has been employed to improve school buses.C.He is a world﹣famous businessman and inventor.D.He has a talent for finding and solving problems.29.How does GreenShields make a bus more fuel efficient?A.By reducing the amount of wind drag.B.By improving the quality of fuel used.C.By providing a wind tunnel for the bus.D.By changing the shape of the bus engine.30.Where did Cohen begin testing his shields?A.At Northwestern University.B.In his parents'garage.C.At a local bus company.D.In an MIT lab.31.What's the intended benefit of Cohen's invention?A.To provide school buses with cheaper fuel.B.To reduce the cost of producing school buses.C.To increase the profits of the school bus industry.D.To make school buses more environmentally﹣friendly.32.(8分)We all know the feeling:looking at the computer screen,pretending to be interested in our homework,even though we really feel bored.But such feelings may soon be at an end,says Dr.Harry Witchel,head of the Essex Medical School.He believes that computers of the future will notice when people feel bored and even take action to stop it.Before you get concerned,the machine won't be reading your mind.It will be observing the many movements you make while using a computer.It's not interested in the big movements needed to use the machine 一 like moving a mouse or touching a screen﹣but small,barely noticeable movements like closing your eyes,moving in your seat or rubbing your face.Witchel calls these"boredom movements"and says they show how interested the person is in what they are reading or watching.The higher the interest level,the less movement!To test his theory,Witchel invited 27 people to perform various computer ﹣based tasks.The activities ranged from playing online games (an interesting task) to reading documents like government laws that most people would find boring.A special video camera followed the participants'movements as they completed each task.Just as the researcher expected,the"boredom movements"greatly decreased,by as much as 42%,when the subjects were very interested in what they were reading or seeing.Fortunately,Dr Witchel isn't planning to use his results to create machines that report students who are not paying attention atschool.Instead,he wants"movement sensing"technology to be built into future computers in order to improve students'computer﹣based learning experience.The scientist says that by measuring the students'interest level as they work,educators will be able to adjust their materials in real﹣time to keep students focused.Witchel also believes that the technology can provide filmmakers with honest audience opinions and in the future,help to develop more intelligent robots.32.What does the underlined word"it"in Paragraph 1 refer to?A.Homework.B.A computer.C.Boredom.D.The future.33.Why did Dr Witchel carry out his research?A.To discover how bored people move.B.To find out what makes people bored.C.To see if interested people are more active.D.To test the link between boredom and movement.34.Which movement would Witchel's technology most likely pay attention to?A.Turning off the machine.B.Typing words on a keyboard.C.Surfing quickly between webpages.D.Moving one's head from side to side.35.How will the new technology help education,according to Witchel?A.By reducing teachers'workload.B.By maintaining students'learning interest.C.By reporting students'misbehavior in class.D.By making learning more like a computer game.第二节(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.36.(10分)Philadelphia is a city known for many things.It is where the Declaration of Independence was signed in 1776,and it was also the first capital of the United States.(36) It is home to nearly 3.000 mural(壁画) painted on the side of homes and buildings around the city.That's more murals than any other city on Earth.(37)More than 20years ago,a New Jersey artist named Jane Golden started a program pairing troubled youth with artists to paint murals on a few buildings around the city.(38) The teenagers involved helped to create magnificent pieces of art,and there were other,even more important,benefits.The young people learned to cooperate and get along with many different kinds of people during the painting.They learned to be responsible,because they needed to follow a schedule to make sure the murals were completed.(39) It is hard for anyone to see the spectacular designs and not feel proud to be a part of Philadelphia.Take a walk around some of the poorest neighborhoods in Philadelphia and you will find beautiful works of art on the side and fronts of buildings.Of course the murals are not just in poor neighborhoods,but richer ones as well.Special buses take tourists to different parts of the

jobs behind and have a life ﹣changing adventure overseas.They imagine lying under palm trees as the sun goes down.However,life overseas is not always easy,and many are not prepared for the shock of living in an alien culture.The honeymoon periodAt first,for those who actually decide to move abroad,life is an exciting adventure.They enjoy exploring their new surroundings,and life seems like an extended holiday.They don't mind trying the local cuisine and discovering the local culture.They can even afford to practice their foreign﹣language skills without fear of making mistakes.Trouble in paradiseIn many cases,when people consider moving to another country,they often fail to realize how different life will be.As time goes by,they become frustrated when language and cultural misunderstandings become a daily headache.In this stage,the visitors begin to withdraw from life in the host country and avoid spending time with local people in favor of mixing with others from their own cultural background.The road to recoveryGradually,most visitors realize they must accept the differences and not fight against them.This change encourages them to improve their language skills and slowly they manage to do the things they could easily do at home,such as opening a bank account.This new﹣found confidenceenables them to see a side of life which very few tourists get to witness.Adjusting to life abroad can often be a real problem.The secret to overcoming it is to stop trying to change your host country:you will not succeed.If not,you risk losing your dream and having to return to the old life you wanted to leave behind.21.Why do people moving abroad feel excited at first?
