2019届高三英语9月月考试题 (I)第一部分：阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分）第一节：阅读理解（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
AWhat makes one person more intelligent than another? What makes one person a genius, like the brilliant Albert Einstein, and another person a fool? Are people born intelligent or stupid, or is intelligence the result of where and how you live? These are very old questions and the answers to them are still not clear.We know, however, that just being born with a good mind is not enough. In some ways, the mind is like a leg or an arm muscle. It needs exercise. Mental (done with the mind) exercise is particularly important for young children. Many child psychologists (心理学家) think that parents should play with their children more often and give them problems to think about. The children are then more likely to grow up bright and intelligent. If, on the other hand, children are left alone a great deal with nothing to do, they are more likely to bee dull and unintelligent. Parents should also be careful with what they say to young children. According to some psychologists, if parents are always telling a child that he or she is a fool or an idiot, then the child is more likely to keep doing silly and foolish things. So it is probably better for parents to say very positive (helpful) things to their children, such as “That was a very clever thing you did.” or “You are such a smart child.”1. The words “intelligent” and “brilliant” in the first paragraph probably mean _______ while “dull” in the second p aragraph means ________.A. great and important; monB. pretty and handsome; ordinary-lookingC. bright and splendid; slow in thinking and understandingD. hopeful and helpful; careless2. A person ________ is more likely to bee a genius.A. whose parents are cleverB. often thinking about difficult problemsC. often helped by his parents and teachersD. born with a good brain and putting it into active use3. It is better for parents ________.A. to praise and encourage their children more oftenB. to be hard on their childrenC. to leave their children alone with nothing to doD. to give their children as much help as possible4. Which of the following is NOT true according to the article?A. Parents play an important part in their children’s growth.B. Intelligence is obviously the result of where and how you live.C. The less you use your mind the duller you may bee.D. What makes a person bright or stupid is still under discussion.It was graduation day at the university where I work and a beautiful day quite unlike the first graduation I attended as a young professor.On that cold day years ago, as we watched the students walking into the hall, one of my colleagues turned to me and said, "Graduation will be one of the happiest and one of the saddest time of your life." At my inquiry, he answered, "Because the students you have gotten to know have to leave."As years went by, my previous confusion about my colleague's words no longer existed.When I came across naughty students, I have had to rethink why I chose to be a teacher.It obviously isn't the money.Once a former puter science student of mine called me, asking me if I wanted to have a change.He was working at Nintendo Corporation.His salary was higher than my current one, though I have more education and have worked for over a decade.With my programming skills, he said he could get me hired.I thanked him, but declined his kind offer.A few days before this current graduation, while working on final grades, I found a note a student had slipped in with her homework.She thanked me for being her teacher and said the things she had learned in my class — not about math, but about life — would be things she would remember long after the math skills had faded away.As I finished reading, I remembered why I had bee a teacher.Now, on this sunny graduation day, as I again observed the sea of blue hats and gowns,I did so with renewed dedication （奉献） and a deeper sense of satisfaction— I will always be grateful that I am a teacher.5.Hearing his colleague's description of graduation for the first time, theauthor .A.quite agreed with his colleagueB.thought it very funnyC.was very puzzledD.was very sad.6.The puter science student called up the author because he .A.wanted to inform the author of his present jobB.tried to persuade theauthor to work with himC.wanted the author to share his joy and satisfactionD.thought the authorwasn't fit to be a teacher7.The underlined part blue hats and gowns refers to .A.university colleaguesB.life memoriesC.graduates' clothesD.decorations in the hall8.The author wrote this passage to .A.express his devotion to being a teacherB.pare two differentgraduation ceremoniesC.talk about the meaning of graduationD.give advice on how to bea good teacherCIf you want to get something done, you might want to put your mobile phone backin your pocket. Researchers have found that the mere presence of a phone is distracting(分心) — even if it is not your own. And the devices(设备) are likelyto distract you, even if they are not ringing or “pinging” with text messages. People asked to carry out electronic tests of their attention spans (持续时间) were found to perform worse when a mobile phone was present than other people performingin the presence of a paper notepad.Scientists from Hokkaido University in Japan said that their findings show that it is harder to concentrate when one of the electronic devices is present. The effect was most marked on people who are not regular users of phones. In testson 40 undergraduates, Associate Professor Junichiro Kawahara and a colleague dividedthe subjects into two groups — one asked to carry out tests in the presence of an Apple iPhone next to a puter monitor, and the other in the presence of a notebook.The test involved asking the participant to search for a particular characteramong a mess of other characters on the screen. Researchers measured the time it took to find the target. The results of the experiment found that those with the mobile phone took longer to find the character “indicating that participants were automatically distracted by the presence of the phone”. The researc hers suggest that people are “drawn to the presence of a mobile phone” although there are individual differences in how one attempts to ignore it. In conclusion, Professor Kawahara said, “The mere presence of a mobile phone was a distraction among infreque nt internet users.”Another finding is that listening to one half of a mobile phone conversation also distracts people, and other studies have found that placing a mobile phone in view has a negative impact on the quality of face-to-face munications. Holding a mobile phone makes you less likely to get a fair hearing from others.9. What is the first paragraph mainly about?A. A mobile phone won’t distract people unless it’s ringing.B. People find it hard to concentrate if their phones are present.C. Text messages distract people even if phones are power off.D. A paper notepad can help people record much information.10. Who will be affected most according to the findings?A. People irregularly using phones.B. People regularly using phones.C. People usually using notepads.D. People always using puters.11. In a face-to-face munication, what is the effect of putting a mobile phone in sight?A. It makes listeners feel much awkward.B. It causes other people to lose respect for you.C. It reduces people’s attention to listening to others.D. It makes the air of the conversation more pleasant.12. What can we learn from the text?A. People perform worse with a mobile phone at hand.B. Mobile phones do a lot of damage to people’s health.C. People working with mobile phones will do very well.D. Phones should be banned in all schools and universities.DEarth’s next superpowerThe following countries have been sitting on hidden talents.And now they’re about to fly.NIGERIA (尼日利亚)Nigeria says it pumps out as much oil as the other two oil－producing countries, Kuwait and Iraq.All this oil is cycling cash into the Nigerian economy and creating extremely rich businessmen.Analysts say that if Nigeria can improve its schools and technology, it could balloon into the world’s 13th largest economy by 2050, right between Turkey and Italy.If that reason is not enough for optimism, Nigeria’s president also has the sunniest name of any world leader: Goodluck Jonathan.VIETNAMAs agriculture has given way to industry, unemployment in Vietnam has dropped.What’s Vietnam’s trick? It’s ready to work.Other countries’ laborers aren’t as cheap as they used to be, which makes Vietnam a relative bargain for panies that need new factories abroad.However, the country has almost no railroads, its highways are in poor condition, and its largest city has just one airport, which was built before the Vietnam War.So what’s the use of producing export－ready goods if there’s no convenie nt way to ship them? The good thing is, however, officials are widening highways, building a new airport and so on.CHILE (智利)Pipes, puters, motors, and your microwave all have one thing in mon: They’re made with copper (铜).Copper makes the world go round.And lucky for Chile, it’s got about a third of the planet’s copper supply.It just needs a way to dig it up and the government is pouring money into the country’s mines.13.Which country will Nigeria be expected to follow in respect of economy by 2050?A.Kuwait.B.Iraq.C.Turkey.D.Italy.14.What’s the problem Vietnam is facing?A.It doesn’t have money to build new factories.B.Its people don’t have enough food to eat.C.It is suffering from the Vietnam War.D.Its transport system is very poor.15.What will Chile depend on to get developed?A.High tech.B.Natural resources.C.Investments from other countries.D.The government’s good administration.第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)It is said that there are about 40,000 different kinds of jobs in the world. ___16___“Finding a job” is not the same as “choosing a job”.

Adults need about eight hours． For most school-age children¸ ten hours is ideal(理想的)． But the new National Sleep Foundation survey found th at 35% of 10- to 12-year-olds get only seven or eight hours． And guess what almost half of the surveyed kids said they do before bedtime? Watch TV．“More children are going to bed with TVs on¸and there are mo re opportunities(机会) to stay awake¸with more homework¸the Internet and the phone¸” says Dr． Mary Carskadon¸ a sleep researcher at Bro wn University Medical School． She says these activities at b edtime can get kids all excited and make it hard for them to ca lm down and sleep． 0ther experts say part of the problem is chemical． Changing levels of body chemicals called hormon es not only make teenagers’ bodies develop adult characterist ics¸but also make it hard for teenagers to fall asleep before 11 pm．Because sleepiness is such a problem for te enagers¸some sc hool districts have decided to start high school classes later th an they used to． Three years ago¸ schools in Edina¸ Minnes ota¸ changed the start time from 7:25 am to 8:30 am． Stude nts¸parents and teachers are pleased with the results．6． What is the new National Sleep Foundation survey on?

A． It was ignored by the public．B． It was de clared too late．C． It was unfair．D． It was stric t．DHollywood’s theory that machines with evil(邪恶) minds will drive armies of killer robots is just silly． The re al problem relates to the possibility that artificial intelligence(A I) may become extremely good at achieving something other t han what we really want． In 1960 a well-known mathematician Norbert Wiener¸ who founded the fieldof cybernetics（控制论）¸ put it this way：“If we use¸to achieve our purposes¸a mecha nical agency with whose operation we cannot effectively interf ere(干预)¸we had better be quite sure that the purpose put into the machine is the purpose which we really desire．”A machine with a specific purpose has another quality¸ one th at we usually associate with living things： a wish to preserve its own existence． For the machine¸ this quality is not in-born¸ nor is it something introduced by humans; it is a logical consequence of the simple fact that the machine cannot achie ve its original purpose if it is dead． So if we send out a robot with the single instruction of fetching coffee¸ it will have a stro ng desire to secure success by disabling its own off switch or even killing anyone who might interfere with its task． If we a re not careful¸then¸ we could face a kind of global chess matc h against very determined¸ super intelligent machines whose objectives conflict with our own¸ with the real world as the che ssboard．The possibility of entering into and losing such a match shoul d concentrate the minds of computer scientists． Some resea rchers argue that we can seal the machines inside a kind of fir ewall¸ using them to answer difficult questions but never allowing them to affect the real world．Unfortunately¸ that plan se ems unlikely to work： we have yet to invent a firewall that is secure against ordinary humans¸ let alone super intelligent m achines．Solving the safety problem well enough to move forward in AI seems to be possible but not easy． There are probably deca des in which to plan for the arrival of super intelligent machine s． But the problem should not be dismissed out of hand¸as it has been by some AI researchers． Some argue that human s and machines can coexist as long as they work in teams—yet that is not possible unless machines share the goals of hu mans． 0thers say we can just “switch them

And the word quickly got around that he was from New York City．For some reason he sat beside Mary. Mary felt 43 (please), because there were many empty seats in the room.

It might have made it a little 46 (hard) for everybody because it meant they had to turn around,but that didn't stop the kids in the class. 0f course whenever they turn ed to look at him，they had to look at Mary, 47 made her feel like a star．“Do you need those glasses for medical reasons?” the teache r asked.

高中英语真题：学2019届高三英语9月月考试题_1
学2019届高三英语9月月考试题第一部分：阅读理解（共20小题；每小题3分，满分60分）第一节：阅读下列短文，从所给各题的四个选项A、B、C、D 中，选出最佳选项AHave you ever had one of those days when all you wanted to do was read an emotionally powerful story that would caus e you to tears? Most of us tend to be attracted by stories that reach us on multiple levels, including sadness. There are plen ty of books that make you cry (and sometimes laugh) and that you can really sink your teeth into. Here are four of them.1. The Kite RunnerThis realistic and moving description of life in Afghanistan a ccounts for the people who were badly affected by the Taliban . You’ll cry as you get to know the familial relationships and cr uelty involved, but you’ll also get a sense of hope as you quic kly read through this appealing novel.2. The Book ThiefLet’s put it this way: Death itself is the narrator. The story is a bout a young girl named Liesel who has to live with foster parents during World War II. On the way to her new home, her br other dies, setting the gloomy tone for the story. There is hop e, however, when Liesel discovers her love for reading and m akes a relationship with a young Jewish man she helps hide fr om the Nazis.3. The Fault in Our StarsThis is probably the most likely book on the list to make you cr y, as it records the experiences of teens who are dying from c ancer and living their last days in love. Their lifestyle is tragic and disturbing at the same time, as we watch their health wor sen. The real tragedy is the love story between the main char acters, who know that their romance is fruitless.4. A Child Called “It”Easily one of the saddest stories of abuse in recent decades, A Child Called It is based on the true story of Dave Pelzer, a b oy from California who suffered at the hands of his cruel famil y. The tears will come from both sadness and the inspiration ti ed to Dave’s fight for survival in an environment where he is b elieved worthless.1.What do the four books have in common?A.They are all about cruel wars.B.They all probably make you cry.C.They are all about suffering children.D.They are all adapted from true stories.2.Which book is about a young victim whose family treated hi m cruelly?A.The Kite RunnerB.A Child Called “It”C.The Fault in Our StarsD.The Book Thief3.The passage is intended to __________.A.advise us to buy some booksB.inspire us to read moreC.explain why we love readingD.introduce some moving booksBA young woman sits alone in a café sipping tea and reading a book. She pauses briefly to write in a nearby notepad before showing her words to a passing café waiter: "Where are the to ilets please?"This is a familiar scene in Tokyo’s so-called "silent cafés", where customers are not allowed to spea k, and only communicate by writing in notepads.The concept rises by a desire to be alone among young Ja panese, a situation brought by economic uncertainty, a shift in traditional family support structures and the growing social is olation. The phenomenon is not limited to coffee shops but co vers everything from silent discos, where participants dance alone wearing wireless headphones connected to the DJ, to pr oducts such as small desk tents designed for conversation-free privacy in the office. One Kyoto company even offers sin gle women the opportunity to have a "one woman wedding"—a full bridal affair, complete with white dress and ceremony, a nd the only thing missing is the groom. The trend has its own media expression-“botchi-zoku”, referring to individuals who consciously choose to do th ings completely on their own.One recent weekday afternoon, Chihiro Higashikokubaru, a 23-year-old nurse, travelled 90 minutes from her home, to Tokyo on h er day off in order to enjoy some solo time. Speaking quietly a t the entrance of the cafe, Miss Higashikokubaru said: “I heard about this place via Twitter and I like the idea of coming here. I work as a nurse and it's always very busy. There are very few quiet places in Tokyo, and it's a big busy city. I just want t o come and sit somewhere quietly on my own. I’m going to dri nk a cup of tea and maybe do some drawings. I like the idea o f a quiet, calm atmosphere.”The desire to be isolated is not a new concept in Japan, ho me to an estimated 3.6 million "hikikomori" - a more extreme example of social recluses(隐士) who withdraw completely from society.4.What is special about the “silent cafes”?A.It provides various tea and books.B.It has attracted many popular young people.C.It offers service by writing not by speakingD.People are not allowed to communicate.5.Which of the following statement can’t account for the idea of being alone in ?A.Unstable economic situationB.A change in traditional family support patternC.The rising demand for privacyD.The increasing social isolation6.What do we know about Higashikokubaru?A.She doesn’t like to be a nurse.B.She doesn’t like the life in big cities.C.She travelled to Tokyo on her work days.D.She enjoys her solo time in a quiet place.7.What is the best title of the passage?A.Lonely JapaneseB.One woman weddin gC.Social recluses in JapanD.Silent cafesCWe all have our own idea of what the perfect smile should loo k like,whether we show a mouthful of whites or keep our lips c losed and turned up at the corners.When we think of the perfe ct smile,we often picture someone grinning,with all of our teet h showing,but based on new findings,less is actually more.Na thaniel He1wig and his colleagues at the University of Minnes ota discovered that a successful,genuine smile actually rests l ess on showing teeth and more on facial balance and symmet ry(对称).For the study,researchers looked at 3D computer-animated facial models of more than 800 study participants.T he computer-animated facial models went through a series of facial transfor mations,with researchers changing the mouth angle,amount o f teeth shown,the degree of the smile.Participants were then a sked to rate the models’smiles based on effectiveness,genuin eness and pleasantness.The results of the study found that the most successful smi le had a perfect balance of teeth,an ideal mouth angle,and a s mile length that extended to what was called the“sweet spot”. Smiles that showed a quick sync(同步)of the left and right side of the face during smiling were also more highly related.Smiling makes up a good part of our nonverbal(非语言的)communication,making it important to have a grin that will draw people to you and also seem sincere.It’s also worth noti ng that perfect smile could help improve your health too.8.What is the possible meaning of the underlined word“grinnin g”in the first paragraph?A.Talking softly.B.Smiling widely.C.Chatting cheerfully.D.Eating healthily.9.Which aspect should be considered when rating the smiles i n the study?A.How pleasant it makes people feel.B.Whether it improves health.C.How successful smiling people are.D.Whether it lasts long enough.10.What makes the perfect smile based on the new study?A.White teeth.B.Smile length.C.Facial balance.D.Lip corners.11.Where does this text probably come from?A.A book review.B.A science report.C.A history textbook.D.A travelling guide.DBooks allow us a glance into the mind of the authors,but whatif we could make a direct connection instead? What if we coul d ask specific questions about their experiences,receive insta nt answers,and hear their stories first—hand?Now,thanks to a library in Denmark,you can check out a p erson as you use a book to find out more about their unique st ories.At the Human Library,you go through some titles and pick one you’d like to know more about.When you decide on a title ,you are taken to a discussion area to meet your human book and have the next 30 minutes with your“book”to learn about it. The downside is,unlike a book,that you don’t take that person home with you.Your“borrowed”human could be anyone—a funeral director,politician,or even a child—with an incredible story to tell.The Human Library Organization came to be in Copenhag en,Denmark in 2000.Ronni Abergel,his brother Dany,and som e colleagues hosted a four-day event during a major Northern European festival,hoping t o raise awareness about violence among youth.After the Succ ess.Abergel founded the Human Library Organization.Since t hen,it has spread to more than 50 countries around the world. Though there are a few permanent human libraries,most a ren’t places at all,but events.Even if many do take place at physical libraries,you don’t need a library card—anyone can come and be part of the experience.All that’s nee ded is people who want to tell their stories,and people who are willing to listen.12.The writer raises two questions in the first paragraph to___ _______.A.stress the importance of readingB.draw the readers’attention to the topicC.picture a reading scene of the futureD.invite readers to answer them13.Which of the following could be a disadvantage of the Hum an Library?A.Few topics are available for discussion.B.There is limited time for communication.C.The human book can’t be taken away.D.No instant answer will be received.14.To become a book in human form,one______.A.must present his library cardB.has to be at least 18 years oldC.should go to the library regularlyD.is willing to share his stories15.According to the author,the Human Library_______.A.has spread to every corner of the whole worldB.is an actual place for readers to discuss about booksC.aims to raise awareness about violence among youthD.gives a new meaning to the phrase“I am an open book”第二节七选五根据短文内容,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Millions of Chinese people have been playing a mobile game called Travel Frog recently. ____16______. You prepare food and tools for its trips, and the frog sends you postcards while i t’s away.The game’s popularity may have something to do with how lonely people feel these days, according to Xinhua News Age ncy. _____17_____, and playing the game helps them forget th eir loneliness for a short time.____18______.

The family had John Smothers, his wife and their five-year-old daughter.One night after supper the little girl was ill with a serious stomachache, and John Smothers hurried downtown to get some medicine. He never came back. The mother was very sad over her husband's disappearance, and it was nearly three months before she married again, and moved to San Antonio. The little girl recovered and in time grew up to womanhood. After a few years had rolled around, the little girl also married in time, and she also had a little girl of five years. She still lived in the same house where theydweltwhen her father had left and never returned.By an unbelievable coincidence her little girl was taken with the same stomachache on the same night of the disappearance of John Smothers, who would now have been her grandfather if he had been alive. “I will go downtown and get some medicine for her,” said John Smith(for it was he whom she had married). “No, no, dear John,” cried his wife. “You, too, might disappear forever, and then forget to come back.” So John Smith did not go, and together they sat by the bedside of little Pansy. After a little while Pansy seemed to grow worse, and John Smith again wanted to go for medicine, but his wife would not let him.Just then, the door suddenly opened and an old man with long white hair entered the room. “Hello, here is grandpa,” said Pansy. She had recognized him before any of the others. The old man drew a bottle of medicine from his pocket and gave Pansy a spoonful. She got well immediately. “I was a little late,” said John Smothers, “as I waited for a street car.”4. What happened after John Smothers disappeared?A. His daughter took some medicine.B.

Cooke turned and hardly had time to react before a flying disc hit her in the face with a "big bang”, leaving her right cheek swollen almost to the size of a golfball.Two men playing disc golf at the course in Jellie Park were about 20 metres fromthe pairwhen one of them threw the disc hard, aiming for a nearby goal.After being hit Cooke immediately went to the emergency department, where two CT scans on her face and cheek found she had escaped any broken bones. "I'm lucky it didn't hit my eye because I think I would have lost it." Cooke said.Cooke often walks her dog at the park and said it was always busy with people playing disc golf, but it was not until after Tuesday that she became concerned about public safety there.There were no signs about the disc golf course in the park, she said, and the area is shared with children and people walking their dogs.“If it had hit one of the kids in the head, it could have killed them.” Cooke did not think she was the only person who had been hit before, and said there would be others who share her concerns.Cooke planned to go to the council, saying it needed to realise how dangerous it was for the space to be shared by everyone and to provide disc golfers with a space where they can play safely. "There should be rules about how it's done, making it safe for everyone.”8. What happened to Cooke on Tuesday?A. She was struck by a golf ball.B. She was hit by a flying disc.C.

D. program when a colleague asked what I would do if I had an extra hour every day. Without much consideration, I said I would use it to help others. The question kept coming to my mind. Like many graduate students, I was overwhelmed (难以承受的) with research, teaching, coursework, and some attempt at a personal life. Still, I asked myself, "Do I really need a 25th hour to help other people-or do I need to make better use of the 24 hours I have?"I needed something to help me return to my old self. After that conversation with my colleague, I googled (谷歌搜索) “volunteer opportunities near me”. A local organization that drives people to stores or appointments was looking for volunteers. Having grown up in a rural village where everyone knew oneanother and my grandparents were always close by, I thought serving senior citizens in my new hometown might be just what I needed.A short time later, I started to volunteer for an organization that provides transportation for senior citizens and people with disabilities. To my surprise, adding this activity to my busy life was just what I needed to calm the confusion I was feeling as a first-generation international graduate student.I started to volunteer about 3 hours every weekend, the time I otherwise would have wasted oversleeping or scrolling (滚屏) through social media. Sharing stories with my riders was much more rewarding. What they told me about their lives helped me realize that in every corner of the world, humans are connected with the languageof emotions. And seeing how eager my riders were to spend time out and about inspired me to think about how to spend my time, which used to slip away. My previously overwhelming schedule began to feel manageable.I'm proud of who I have become, and I continue to reflect on how I'm using the most valuable thing in life: my time.12. Why did the author ask himself the question in Paragraph 1?A. He wanted to return to normal life.B. He was busy but wanted to help others.C. He couldn't bear too much school work.D. He couldn't answer his colleague's question.13. How did the author find the volunteer job?A. A colleague recommended it.B. A local organization offered it.C. He got it from his grandparents.D. He got it by surfing on the Internet.14. What made the author feel his volunteer job was worth doing?A. Communicating with his riders.B. Improving his language learning.C. Meeting his grandparents often.D. Realizing his previous dream.15. How did volunteering influence the author?A. It helped himbecome confident and efficient.B. He found a good way to live a free and quiet life.C. He realized he had wasted too much time pursuing his Ph.D.D. It inspired him to spare more time to accompany his grandparents.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

Built in 1190 as a fortress （堡垒）protect Paris from the Vikings, it was transformed into a palace by Francesco I. Since then, for four centuries, French kings and emperors have expanded it. The glass pyramid of I. M. Pei was added to the courtyard of honor in 1989. All galleries can be reached from here.The glass pyramidThe projects for the monetization and expansion of the Louvre date back to 1981. They included the construction of a main entrance to the museum. The American architect of Chinese origin－I. M. Pei－was in charge of the project. Pei designed a pyramid that had to become an entrance to the museum. Its glass walls allow visitors to admire the surrounding historic buildings and to light up the entrance hall.The Louvre collectionThe Louvre treasures can date back to the collection of Francesco I (1515－1547), who bought many Italian paintings. During the rule of Louis XIV ( 1643－1715) thisamounted to only 200 artworks, but it also increased as a result of donations and purchases. It was opened for the first time to the public in 1793. Since then the Louvre collection has been continuously enriched.The fallen guideThe main entrance is under the glass pyramid. The artworks are exposed on four floors: the display rooms of the artworks are organized according to the countries they are from. There are eight sections in all.

The US, after all, is a vast land with a network of roads built for travel and communications.One road in particular, Route 66, stands for the importance of road travel in the US. This east-west highway takes travelers between Chicago in the east and California in the west. The experience of doing this long drive is the stuff of Americanmythology（神话）. Indeed, many films and novels have been produced about it.But now, it seems the US has a competitor in road-culture: Scotland. This country is far smaller than the US, but it’s still big enough to have a 500-mile scenic route - and, potentially, a 1,500-mile road trip.The name of the route is North Coast 500 (NC500). It’s a youn g route, only introduced in 2015. It takes travelers who wish to drive the whole route around the coast of the north of Scotland and across the country.But what’s so special about NC500? It’s the scenery, which is best viewed in spring, according to Travel magazine. During that time, travelers can enjoy “sparkling（波光粼粼的）lakes, valleys filled with blossoming（开花的）trees, and views of the mineral-blue ocean and strawberry-blonde beaches”.The introduction of the route has done wonders for the region’s economy. The number of drivers it has attracted has meant hotels and restaurants along the route are often fully booked. In fact, it’s believed that the north of Scotland is now £9 million richer a year because of it.And hopefully someday soon, people will be making movies and writing novels about NC500, just as they do about its US cousin.24. What’s the main purpose of the first two paragraphs?A. To recommend that readers go on a trip along Route 66.B. To explain why road travel is popular in the US.C.

What benefit has NC500 brought to northern Scotland?A. It has reduced traffic pressure in the region.B. It has helped to improve its economy.C. It has attracted more people to live in Scotland.D. It has created more job opportunities than ever before.CCHANGCHUN—A pair of endangered Amur leopards have been spotted in the northeastern Chinese Province of Jilin. It is the first time that field cameras have caught two Amur leopards at the same time in Jilin, home to a quarter of all the rarest cats in the world.One of the reasons for the sighting is an improved habitat for the animals, which are at a high risk of extinction. China established a nature reserve in Hunchun in 2011 to protect Far Eastern big cats like Amur leopards and Siberian tigers.On Tuesday, Lang Jianmin, education director with the animal conservation bureau in the forest-clad Hunchun City, said, “The two leopards, a male and a female, are very much like lovers. ”Lang said the film of the leopards, side by side, was taken on November 16. “We’ve hardly seen pictures like these. Amur leopards do not live together unless they are mating. And the honeymoon, once every three years, lasts only about a week,” Lang added.Amur leopards, classified by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) as critically endangered, are in the highest risk category in IUCN Red List of Threatened Species. In 2007, IUCN concluded that Amur leopards were extinct in China and only 19 to 26 survived in Russia.However, the rare scene of the couple, together with a survey released in April shows that the population of Amur leopards has been recovering in China.The survey, co-conducted by Jilin Provincial Forestry Department (JPFD) and World Wide Fund for Nature, said that the predators (捕食性动物) are making a comeback as China has improved efforts to protect forests and fight poaching.28. The passage is probably taken out of ______.A. a diaryB. an essayC. a reportD. a novel29. Which of the following is TRUE about Amur leopards?A. They have been recovering due to measures taken.B. They usually live together to search for food.C. Their population has greatly risen in China.D. They are often caught by field cameras.30. Which of the following is NOT the measure mentioned to protect Amur leopards?A. Improving habitats.B. Providing enough food.C. Protecting forests.D. Fighting poaching.31. What is the purpose of the passage?A. To instruct what to do to protect Amur leopards.B. To educate people to learn more about Amur leopards.C. To arouse our curiosity about Amur leopards.D. To introduce China’s progress of protecting Amur leopards.DResearchers say public mistrust of vaccines（疫苗）is causing diseases like measles （麻疹）and yellow fever to spread. The scientists said the lower levels of trust can lead to people refusing vaccines. This, in turn, can cause diseases to spread quickly, they warned.But the researchers said they also found a high level of support worldwide for vaccinating children against disease.The researchers questioned 66,000 people in 67 countries to discover their ideas on whether vaccines are important, safe and effective. The survey showed people in Southeast Asia had the highest level of trust in vaccines. Africa showed the second highest level of confidence. Europeans showed the lowest level of confidence in vaccines. In France, 41 percent of the population questioned the safety of vaccines.Heidi Larson is with the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine. She says recent media reports of problems involving vaccines have hurt public confidence in France. Larson noted that many Europeans worried about reports of possible links between hepatitis B vaccines（乙型肝炎疫苗）and the disease multiple sclerosis（多发性硬化症）. But she said scientists found no linkage between the two. Mistrust in France was also driven by public reaction to the H1N1 influenza（甲型H1N1流感）outbreak fears in 2009. The French government spent $1.4 billion on 94 million doses of the vaccine. The majority were sold or destroyed.The findings come as a major yellow fever vaccination program has been launched in the Democratic Republic of Congo and Angola. The disease has already killed hundreds of people in the area. The World Health Organization aims to vaccinate over 15 million people in both countries. “If everyone agrees to be vaccinated, we can remove yellow fever from our country,” said Mosala Mireille, one of the doctors directing the program.32. The author develops the Paragraph 1 mainly ________.A. by telling experiencesB. by giving instructionsC. by offering descriptionsD. by analyzing cause and effect33. The underlined words “The disease” in the last paragraph probably refer to ________.A. measlesB. yellow feverC. H1N1 influenzaD. multiple sclerosis34. Mistrust of vaccines in France was driven by the following reasons except ________.A. media reports of problems linked to vaccinesB. public reaction to the H1N1 influenza outbreak fears in 2009C. connections between hepatitis B vaccines and the disease multiple sclerosisD. most of the doses of the vaccine were sold or disposed of by the French government35. Mosala Mireille’s attitude towards the yellow fever vaccination program is ________.A. ExpectantB. SkepticalC. CriticalD.Cautious第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。
