A．Before it is piped to a treatment plant.B．After it runs over your lawn.C．After it runs into the street.D．Before it drops from the roof.5．It can be inferred from the passage that ________.A．it is easy to make rainwater drinkableB．the author calls on people to harvest rainwaterC．many countries ignore to harvest rainwaterD．it is easy to deal with the pollutants from rainwaterBThere is a huge demand for shark fins(鳍) in Asian countries.As a result，many sharks are caught and killed.In Palau，where more than half of tourists are drawn by diving excursions，each reef shark brings in about 179,000 in tourism revenue annually，or about 1.9 million during its lifetime.Due to overexploitation and lack of proper management，many shark species are under considerable risk of unrecoverable decline with some species having declined to near extinction in recent years.According to reports，sharks are being killed at an alarming rate of up to 273 million worldwide per year.Some experts predict that if the killing continues at the current rate many shark species will be lost forever.It can be very dangerous.Sharks are very important and they should be protected.In a study of the east coast of the United States,11 species of sharks were eliminated from their range.Of the 14 species of ocean life that those sharks used to eat，the populations of 12 exploded and caused great damage to the ecosystem.For example，the cownose ray(鳐) population was no longer kept under control by sharks and so grew out of control.As a result，the rays destroyed the population of bay scallops(扇贝)，their favorite food.The scallop fishery，which had been in good condition for over 100 years，was wiped out.Also，the removal of the scallops most likely had an effect on water quality as they were no longer there to perform their function of cleaning the water.Sharks play a vital role in the oceans in a way that the average fish does not.Most sharks serve as top predators at the pinnacle of the marine food pyramid，and so play a critical role in ocean ecosystems.Directly or indirectly they regulate the natural balance of these ecosystems.Sharks tend to eat very efficiently，going after the old，sick，or slower fish in a population，keeping that population healthy.Sharks help keep many populations of ocean life to the right size so that those prey(猎物) species don’t cause harm to the ecosystem by becoming too populated.The ocean ecosystem is made up of very complex food webs.For the most part，sharks are at the top of these webs and are considered by scientists to be “keystone” species，meaning that removing them may cause the whole structure to fall apart，including key fisheries such as tuna and other important fish species that maintain the health of coral reefs.Therefore，we should protect sharks because doing so is to protect the whole ecosystem.6．What’s the main reason for killing sharks in Asia?A．Shark fins are in great need.B．People kill them out of fear.C．Sharks often attack swimmers.D．Sharks break the balance of the sea.7．The underlined word “eliminated” in Paragraph 3 can be replaced by “________”．A．separated B．removedC．forbidden D．protected8．After the number of cownose rays greatly increased，________.A．water quality improved as wellB．bay scallops grew out of controlC．the health of coral reefs worsenedD．the local scallop fishery was harmed9．What can we know about sharks from Paragraph 4?A．They can’t find enou gh food to feed on.B．They never eat the old，sick or slower fish.C．Their large populations can harm the ecosystem.D．They play a key role in keeping the ecosystem healthy.10．What does the passage mainly talk about?A．Why sharks are killed worldwide.B．Why sharks should be protected.C．How humans keep the ecosystem balanced.D．How ocean life affects the ecosystem.答案解析高考高频单词与短语识记排查跟踪训练Ⅰ.1.noisy 2.deliberately 3.natural 4.difference 5．decreaseⅡ.6.A[句意为：看墙上的标志，任何人都不准在医院吸烟，无论他是谁。

The best time to visit is between April and October, with the most temperature timing April and May when the large azaleas (杜鹃花) bloom.Open: 8:00-17:00 (Feb. 16-Nov. 15). 8:00-16:30 (Nov. 16-Feb. 15)XibaipoIt is an old revolutionary base where the leadership of the Communist Party of China was stationed, drawing up the blueprint for a new country.

Over 55% said they would not upload news about, or images of, their children to their social media feeds, according to survey of over 16,000 pupils by Votes for Schools.While some were concerned about being embarrassed or the longevity of content which could remain online indefinitely, others expressed concern about their personal data beingcompromised. One of the pupils surveyed said, “Although our parents mean well, sometimes theconsequenceof a post can be disastrous.”In response to thesurvey, children’s mental health charity Place2Be and law firm Mishcon de Reya have produced three films ahead of the Christmas holidays – the best period for parental oversharing.In one video, about safety online, 10-year-old Adavan said, “If you share anything with your family, you know who’s going to see it. But if you share it publicly, there are millions of people who can see your picture.”Joe Hancock, a security lead at Mishcon de Reya, encouraged parents to share wisely. “Simple steps, such as checking your privacy settings and asking others not to share content of your children on their accounts if they have not updated their privacy settings, are a good start. And, as we found out from the children during filming, having their permission is key,” he said.The study marks a shift away from the usual debate about teaching children to use the Internet safely. Sandra Davis, head of the law firm’s family department, said, “Children are the experts on the real and immediate impact of sharenting（晒娃）– the full extent of which we cannot know yet. We must ensure we listen to children and taketheir views into consideration now in order to avoid any unintendedconsequences further down the line.”4.What’s most pupils’ attitude towards sharing posts about children?A. Skeptical.B. Unconcerned.C. Tolerant.D. Unwilling.5.What does the author intend to do in Paragraph 2?A. Summarize the previous paragraph.B. Provide some advice for parents.C. Predict the consequence of sharing posts.D. Give reasons for the result of the survey.6.What should parents first pay attention to according to Joe Hancock?A. Safety.B. Consequence.C. Wisdom.D. Health.7.What can we learn from the last paragraph?A. Parents should take children’s opinions into account.B. Parents should teach children to use the Internet safely.C. Children must make sure to listen to their parents.D. Children should avoid unintended consequences of sharenting.CThis is Scientific America's 60-Second Science. I am Christopher Intagliata.The Apollo missions brought back 842 pounds of rock and soil from the moon, that's nearly 2200 different samples. But the most interesting one, according to a scientist Meenakshi Wadhwa, is a sample named "Apollo 1-0-0-8-5collected by Neil Armstrong on Apollo 11.“He was about to step back into the lunar module(登月舱) when he turned around and saw there were little spaces in the rock box. He knew that geologists on earth would be just so excited to study these materials, so he just scooped up nine scoops(勺) of soil and put it into the box." Wadhwa explained.It was one of the most well studied samples of the Apollo missions. And a geologist named John Wood noticed white flecks(微粒) of rock in the soil, which inspired him to dig deeper into the moon's ancient past.“This was quite a leap of imagination — he proposed that the whole of the moon had been almost covered with a magma(岩浆) ocean nearly 4.5 billion years ago. This was a revolutionary idea at the time, because people had thought the moon had formed cold, so it completely changed our idea how the moon formed.”But Wadhwa has a more personal reason to appreciate this sample. She met her husband Scott Parazynski also because of this rock sample. Scott, a mountaineer at that time, wanted to climbMount Everestwith a moonrock while Wadhwa was the chairman of the NASA committee that gives access to the samples for scientific purposes.Neil Armstrong's last-minute scoop of moon dust brought two people together here on Earth and upturned our understanding of how the moon — and the Earth itself-got here.Thank you for listening for Scientific American's 60-Second Science.8. It can be learned from Paragraph 3 that ________ .A. Neil Armstrong was excited to find the soilB. the spaceship was about to land on the moonC. Sample "Apollo1-008-5" was collected at the last minuteD. scientists were not satisfied with the samples brought back by Neil9. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the text?A. Scott made a new proposal about the moon's origin.B. The Apollo missions brought back 842 rock samples.C. "Apollo 1-0-0-8-5" brought new evidence to the moon's formation.D. Wadhwa and her husband climbedMount Everestwith a moon rock.10. What is this text?A. A short interview.B. An introduction to a scientist.C. An inspiring speech.D. A broadcast story of a program.11. What is the text mainly about?A. A romantic story of a moon rock.B. A big leap made by Neil Armstrong.C. An unusual task for Apollo missions.D. An unexpected discovery in moon exploration.DSummer is quickly passing by—but not without the ultimate meteor（流星）shower event!The2021 Perseids Meteor Shower, which is considered to be the best meteor shower of the year, is expected to start lighting up skies on this Wednesday, according to NASA. Known for fireballs, the Perseids typically light up skies on warm summer nights, leaving “long wake（尾迹）of light and color1 behind them.”Under ideal conditions, sky watchers may see approximately 50-100 meteors per hour with each meteor traveling at 37 miles per second. .Because the meteors appear in all parts of the sky, it will be pretty easy to witness the celestial（天上的）event from anywhere in the world. To get the best show, it is advised to view the Perseids from the Northern Hemisphere（半球）during the pre- dawn hours, ideally between 2 a.m. and dawn. In some cases, sky gazers may be able to seemeteors during this shower as early as 9 or 10 p. m.“If it's not cloudy, pick an observing spot away from bright lights, lie on your back, and look up! You don't need any special equipment to view the Perseids—just your eyes,” NASA wrote on their site, adding that telescopes or binoculars are not recommended due to their small fields of view.Remember to let your eyes become adjusted to the dark. Try to stay off of your phone too, as looking at devices with bright screens will negatively affect your night vision and thus reduce the number of meteors you see!For those who may be unable to view the Perseids in person, a live broadcast will be streaming from NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center, starting around 8 p. m. on Aug. 11 and continuing through sunrise on Aug. 12.12. What can we learn about the Perseids Meteor Shower?A. It will be the best meteor shower in history.B. The ultimate shower only happens on this Wednesday.C. We can observe 50- 100 meteors per hour in any place.D. The Meteors usually have long and bright trails behind them.13. Which of the following may be the best time to view the shower?A. At 4 a. m. on the Northern Hemisphere.B. At 2 p. m. on the Northern Hemisphere.C. At sunrise on the Southern Hemisphere.D. At dawn on the Southern Hemisphere.14. What can be inferred about the observation of Meteors?A. If you use a telescope, you will see more meteors.B. You can use smartphones to record the grand scene.C. The brighter the moon is, the more meteors you can see. .D. Bright lights will reduce the visibility of meteors.15. If you are not available to watch the Perseids personally, you can ________.A. browse the unofficial website of NASAB. watch a video recorded by a flight centerC. stream a live show on Aug. 11 nightD. use special devices to connect with the shower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。

A．always energeticB．lacking in livelinessC．shaped like a squareD．favored by ancient poets2．W hat is the purpose of using the poem “Storm at Sea” in the passage? A．To describe the movement of the waves.B．To show the strength of the storm.C．To represent the power of the ocean.D．To prove the vastness of the sea.3．What does the underlined word “symbiotic” in the last paragraph mean?A．Living together.B．Growing fast.C．Moving harmoniously.D．Breathing peacefully.4．In the last paragraph，the Atlantic is compared to .A．a beautiful and poetic placeB．a flesh and blood personC．a wonderful worldD．a lovely animalB(2017·黑龙江哈尔滨月考)In US，the potato is one of the most widely consumed crops.French fries are commonly found in typical American fastfood burger joints and cafeterias.French fries were introduced to the US when Thomas Jefferson served them in the White House during his presidency from 1801 to 1809.Potato chips are popular with consumers as well.The humble potato is more than just a kind of food.In many ways it’s part of the American pop culture.Let’s take a look at some pop culture potatoes.Mashed Potato danceThe Mashed Potato dance is a craze that began in 1962.The name of the dance came from the song it accompanies，Mashed Potato Time，performed by American R&B singer Dee Dee Sharp.The move vaguely resembles that of the Twist dance style，by Sharp’s fellow Philadelphian，Chubby Checker.Hot Potato!Hot Potato! is an action puzzle video game released in 2001.In the game the player must drive a bus and clear the road of alien potato beings.The potato beings are either red or blue；when tw o likecolored potatoes touch each other，they disappear.Over the years，Hot Potato! has received mostly positive reception from critics.Mr.Potato HeadMr.Potato Head is an American toy invented by George Lerner in 1949.The toy consists of a plastic potato model and a variety of plastic parts like hands，feet，ears and mouths.In 1952，Mr.Potato Head became the first toy advertised on television.This commercial revolutionized marketing and caused a boom that solidified this toy’s place inAmerican pop culture.5．Which is the newest to the American pop culture?A．French fries.B．Mashed Potato dance.C．Hot Potato!D．Mr.Potato Head.6．What can we infer from the text?A．French fries were popular in US when first served in the White House. B．Mashed Potato Time came from Mashed Potato dance.C．Players can play Hot Potato！on their phone.D．Mr.Potato Head can be taken apart.7．Which of the following can be the best title for the text? A．Enjoy American Fast FoodB．Have Fun with PotatoesC．Different Uses of PotatoesD．American Food CultureⅡ.七选五(2017·湖南衡阳八中质检)A new report says plastics are responsible for 13 billion in damage to the oceans and the undersea environment.The findings were announced recently at a United Nations conference. 8Plastic thrown away carelessly makes its way into rivers and other waterways. 9 After a while，it collects in the sea.And plastic never goes away.Plastic is not biodegradable—destroyed by bacteria or natural processes.Instead，it just breaks up into smaller pieces over time.The oceans contain a lot of chemicals and other pollutants(污染物)． 10 That means harmful material may get into our food supply.11 Human beings cause pollution and they can take steps to stop it.They can use fewer singleuse product containers and throw plastics away correctly.Plastic recycling programs also work—where old bottles and other plastics are collected，broken down and used to make new products.We could reuse bottles in our households many times if we wish to，rather than end it after the first use.We could，when we get rid of that plastic，recycle it and reuse it，which replaces the need for raw materials.The report also calls on companies to improve methods for using plastics. 12 And it calls for information about the way plastic is thrown out or removed from use.By putting a new value on plastic，industry has a special reason to clean up the environment.But all of the companies must join to deal with the problem. A．Then，fish may eat the plastics.B．But people can make a big difference.C．Plastics should be gathered together and reused.D．It is convenient to use plastic bags in everyday life.E．It asks for them to better measure and control plastic use.

worldclass dining—Switzerland，Austria，and Germany are spearheading(做先锋) innovative(革新的) new approaches to architecture and energyefficient design that are helping to transform the look and feel of hospitality，recreation，and industry throughout the region.MONTE ROSA HUT，ZERMATTThe Alpine mountain，chalet(坡顶小木屋) is veryimportant in the Swiss imagination，a place of warmth，refuge，and hospitality.Also called Bergkristall，or“mountain crystal”，it’s made of wood like a traditional chalet but covered in an aluminum(铝) shell.It is 90% energy selfsufficient，with full temperature controls and wastewater recycling.SUSTAINABLE ARCHITECTURE，VORARLBERGFor more than a decade，the small western province of Vorarlberg in Austria has gained a reputation for daring and innovative architecture.With the use of locally sourced lumber(木材) and other renewable resources，the region has assembled a remarkable collection of contemporary，environmentally sound shops，homes，farmhouses，and public buildings that are masterpieces of progressive design.BMW WORLD IN MUNICHBavarian Motor Works，better known as BMW，has fordecades produced cars that are strong evidence to German engineering，innovation，and inspired design.BMW World in Munich puts these principles into thrilling architectural form with a multifunctional exhibition space offering a dynamic customer experience.Located near BMW Headquarters，the building’s roof is anchored by a swirled double cone of glass and steel.Active and passive solar power helps to heat and cool the massive interior，which is flooded with natural light.Enter for the chance to win a trip to the Alps！Test your Alpine acumen and enter for a chance to win a trip for two to the Alps，including airfare and a 4night firstclass hotel stay.Go to /alps for details，and enter for a chance to win!1．According to the passage，what probably impresses visitors most in the Alps region is ________.A．a traditional，wooden chalet named VorarlbergB．the creative architectural forms and energyefficient designs C．the chance to win a trip for two places of interest in the Alps D．the Bergkristall made of sourced lumber and renewable resources 2．What is unique of BMW World in Munich?A．Its designs are mainly conventional.B．It was named after a famous German engineer.C．It’s a branch of BMW Headquarters which produces cars.D．Its customers can enjoy wonderful exhibition experiences.Ⅱ.任务型阅读When it comes to being socially successful，the quantity of your relationships is irrelevant.The important thing is the quality of them.I would rather have a small team that works in concert than a big team so scattered(分散的) that nothing ever gets done.It’s better to have a few close friends who love you for who you are than a lot of acquaintances who you’re not so comfortable with.Here are five ways you can make people enjoy being around you.1．Be confident，but not cocky.There is a big difference between healthy confidence and arrogant(傲慢的) cockiness.A confident person，when complimented about a wonderful thing they did，would reply with a simple “thank you”．A cocky person would take the opportunity to perform an unscheduled Academy Award acceptance speech.A confident person would offer praise for everybody who contributed to their success.A cocky person would claim all the credit for themselves without a second thought.Cocky people might experience temporary perks，but longlasting success is a prize reserved for the confident.2．Be approachable，but not a pushover.You should welcome your friends and coworkers with open arms.It’s hard to find a person who will offer a listening ear in time of need，so fulfilling that need will help you become a person people trust.But there can betoo much of a good thing.If you find yourself with invitations you’re not that interested in，don’t be afraid to politely reject them.If your schedule becomes occupied by people desiring your attention，set some ground rules and prioritize(优先考虑)．To take care of others，you must first take care of yourself.3．Be direct in expression，but not nasty in delivery.Receiving honesty with no filter(过滤) is like finding a massive glass of ice water during a desert adventure.Speak words of truth，and people will be refreshed to hear them.Most people sugarcoat their opinions，so a willingness to tell it how you see it will win the appreciation of your friends and coworkers.But here’s the catc h：delivery is everything.There is a big difference between “Your article sucks” and “I like the general concept，but I think it might play better if you try it from a different angle.” Truth is something you should aim for，but it isn’t a ticket to be nasty to people.To deliver honest and helpful feedback，use this sentence structure：“I liked (insert positive quality)，but I think it would be better if (constructive criticism/suggestion for improvement)．”4．Be mindful of your actions，but not absorbed in yourself.Have you ever found yourself nervous while fielding questions in a job interview or talking to a cute person you have a crush on？So eager to make a positive first impression that you can’t escape the constant stream of thoughts causing you to doubt if y ou’re saying and doing the right things？As a consequence，you might find yourself so selfabsorbed that you can’t focus on what the other person is saying.The less time you spend questioning yourself and the more time you spend actively listening to the other person，the better off you will be.5．Be assertive，but not overbearing.There is a thin line between being assertive and overbearing，so let’s take a look at their definitions.as·ser·tive(adjective)：having or showing confident and forceful personalityo·ver·bear·ing(adjective)：unpleasantly or arrogantly domineering(专横的)An assertive person would confidently (and politely) ask friends or networking contacts for help if they needed it (and hopefully offer to return the favor)．An overbearing person would force people to get what they wanted without a second thought about how their actionsaffected others.Being overbearing will make people avoid you because no one wants to help a pushy person.Being assertive will attract people to you，if you can reflect confidence and enthusiasm.答案精析第17练自然与环保类(三)高考高频单词与短语识记排查跟踪训练Ⅰ.1.noisy 2.deliberately 3.natural 4.difference5．decreaseⅡ.6.A

(完整word版)英语阅读理解训练--生态环保类(附答案)
高考英语阅读理解专项训练生态环保类(一)The need to feed a growing population is putting much pressure on the world's supply of water。
With 97％ of the world's water too salty to be drunk or used in agriculture, the worldwide supply of water needs careful management， especially in agriculture. Although the idea ofa water shortage(短缺)seems strange to someone fortunate enough to live in a high rainfallcountry, many of the world's agricultural industries experience constant water shortages。
Although dams can be built to store water for agricultural use in dry areas and dry seasons, the costs of water redistribution(重新分配)are very high. Not only is there the cost of the engineering itself， but there is also an environmental cost to be considered. Where valleys(山谷)are flooded to create dams， houses are lost and wildlife homes destroyed。

is an action puzzle video game released in 2001.In the game the player must drive a bus and clear the road of alien potato beings.The potato beings are either red or blue；when tw o likecolored potatoes touch each other，they disappear.Over the years，Hot Potato! has received mostly positive reception from critics.Mr.Potato HeadMr.Potato Head is an American toy invented by George Lerner in 1949.The toy consists of a plastic potato model and a variety of plastic parts like hands，feet，ears and mouths.In 1952，Mr.Potato Head became the first toy advertised on television.This commercial revolutionized marketing and caused a boom that solidified this toy’s place in American pop culture. 5．Which is the newest to the American pop culture?A．French fries.B．Mashed Potato dance.C．Hot Potato!D．Mr.Potato Head.6．What can we infer from the text?A．French fries were popular in US when first served in the White House.B．Mashed Potato Time came from Mashed Potato dance.C．Players can play Hot Potato！on their phone.D．Mr.Potato Head can be taken apart.7．Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A．Enjoy American Fast FoodB．Have Fun with PotatoesC．Different Uses of PotatoesD．American Food CultureⅡ.七选五(2017·湖南衡阳八中质检)A new report says plastics are responsible for 13 billion in damage to the oceans and the undersea environment.The findings were announced recently at a United Nations conference. 8 Plastic thrown away carelessly makes its way into rivers and other waterways. 9 After a while，it collects in the sea.And plastic never goes away.Plastic is not biodegradable—destroyed by bacteria or natural processes.Instead，it just breaks up into smaller pieces over time.The oceans contain a lot of chemicals and other pollutants(污染物)． 10 That means harmful material may get into our food supply.11 Human beings cause pollution and they can take steps to stop it.They can use fewer singleuse product containers and throw plastics away correctly.Plastic recycling programs also work—where old bottles and other plastics are collected，broken down and used to make new products.We could reuse bottles in our households many times if we wish to，rather than end it after the first use.We could，when we get rid of that plastic，recycle it and reuse it，which replaces the need for raw materials.The report also calls on companies to improve methods for using plastics. 12 And it calls for information about the way plastic is thrown out or removed from use.By putting a new value on plastic，industry has a special reason to clean up the environment.But all of the companies must join to deal with the problem.A．Then，fish may eat the plastics.B．But people can make a big difference.C．Plastics should be gathered together and reused.D．It is convenient to use plastic bags in everyday life.E．It asks for them to better measure and control plastic use.F．The plastic eventually reaches coastal areas and ocean waters.G．The report tells about harm to sea life and what might be done to improve the situation.答案解析高考高频单词与短语识记排查跟踪训练1．shortage 2.challenging 3.situations 4.smelly 5．be damaged 6.from 7.in 8.with 9.to 10.with阅读能力专练Ⅰ.阅读理解1．A [细节理解题。

walk through a park convinced Templeton that he had made the right choice.During that walk，he heard the expressive notes(鸟鸣声) of a blackcapped chickadee (黑头山雀)．As Templeton listened，he slowly realized that the bird sang a different tune each time.“My musical training helped open up my ears to the different sounds that the animals were making，” said Templeton.Feeling curious，the student began focusing on how different species styled their songs.When birds varied their calls，did that indicate they were giving a different meaning to each message？After receiving college degr ees in music and biology, Templeton began an indepth study of the sounds animals use to communicate.He focused on chickadee warnings.When a cat，a wolf or another predator(捕食者) threatens a chickadee，the little bird makes a distinctivechickadeedeedee.“It’s where the birds get their name，” explained Templeton.Sometimes, the birds vary their calls.Many scientists want to find out why.So Templeton decided to show a few animals to a group of chickadees.The first animal was a squirrel，which picks at their foods.The small birds responded by first producing lots of calls，then getting together and attacking it.As Templeton changed predators，he realized that the chickadees also changed their alarm calls accordingly.“If you listen to a chickadee singing carefully，you can find it adds more ‘dee’ notes to the end of its call for a more dangerous predator，” said Templeton.Chickadees rely on a group of different vocal signals，about 14 in all.Each contains a lot of information.For a small predator on land，chickadees use their chickadeedeedee call.This calls nearby chickadees to gather and drive it out of the area so it can’t sneak up on them later，explained Templeton.Meanwhile，if a raptor(猛禽) flies overhead，chickadees produce a sharp，highpitched call.This warns other chickadees to dive for cover or freeze in place.Interestingly，other species of birds pay attention too.“We know about 50 different species will respond to the chickadees’ calls，”said Templeton.“Once you really start listening，you will know how amazi ng these birds are.”1．What unique advantage does Chris Templeton enjoy in the study?A．His interest in biology.B．His special training in music.C．His familiarity with birds of all kinds.D．The financial support from the government.2．Chickadees make changes in their alarm calls to show________.A．they are in desperate need of helpB．they are ready to launch an attackC．how dangerous the situation isD．what predator they are facing3．Paragraph 7 implies that chickadees choose a particular call depending on________.A．whether other species respond to the callsB．whose attention they want to attractC．who they are sending information toD．what they want to communicateB(2016·南通、扬州、泰州三模)Microsoft just finished a threemonth experiment operating an underwater data center.A server rack(服务器支架) with the power of about 300 PCs was placed into a watertight(防水) steel container and lowered into the ocean off the coast of central California.The unusual experiment was launched because current data centers are unp leasantly inefficient.They’re built where energy and land are cheap(not close to where people actually live)．And they waste so much energy cooling their massive computers.The ocean can solve those problems.The cold ocean floor sufficiently cools the computingcomponents inside the pod.And since most people live near the ocean，placing data centers under water could potentially increase the speed at which customers could access the information stored in Microsoft’s cloud.The experiment was so successful thatMicrosoft operated the underwater datacenter for 75 days longer than it hadplanned to.The next step is to get a larger pod，with about four times the computing power，under the ocean for testing.Unlike the first experiment，the next pod will also be equipped with turbines，which will transform the ocean’s currents into electricity.It’s not clear when，if ever，underwater data centers will become a possible product.“Our first experiment was like dipping our pinkie toe in the water，and now we’re going for the b ig toe，” said Lee，corporate vice president of Microsoft Research.Microsoft is still analyzing the environmental impacts of the study.Data centers are both hot and loud，which could have damaging effects on ocean life.Microsoft found that the noise its underwater data center produced was drowned out by nearby shrimp and crabs.The data centers are also built from recyclable materials，and Microsoft believes that the total carbon footprint of underwater data centers will be “dramatically lower” than current landbased centers.Given the growth in the cloud，industry analysts believe that most of the world’s data centers have yet to be built.But building a data center takes at least two years—an eternity in the fastdeveloping tech industry.As a result，Microsoft builds its data centers with the future in mind，installing far more computing power and space than it currently needs.Lee believes that going underwater can shift the building of data centers from construction projects to manufacturing jobs.“What if we cou ld massproduce these pods on an assembly line？” he thought.“We could deliver a data center，from conception to operation，in 90 days.That’s dramatically different than what’s happening today.”4．What is the advantage of an underwater data center?A．It can be lowered to the ocean floor easily.B．It can cool computing components automatically.C．It can be built close to the place where people live.D．It can make information easily accessible to people.5．We can infer that the underwater data centers ________.A．cause little harm to the ocean lifeB．are more environmentally friendlyC．change the course of ocean currentsD．are easy to build in large quantities6．The underlined word “eternity” in Paragraph 5 means“________”．A．an extremely long timeB．an extended periodC．a seemingly short timeD．a fruitful period7．The passage tries to inform readers that ________.A．an experiment was made in operating a data centerB．microsoft will massproduce pods on an assembly lineC．microsoft succeeded in putting a data center underwaterD．underwater data centers are more efficient than landbased ones Ⅱ.佳作背诵(自然)请写一篇憧憬自然美景的文章。

They are expensive but of practical use.D. They are being used by people.BIf you struggle to fall asleep quickly, you’re not alone! Fortunately, thereare plenty of solutions you can try. With a few changes, you can fall asleep fast every night!Keep your room dark. Turn off all the lights above your head when you go to bed. Any bright light can make you believe it is too early in the day for sleep. If you want to read or write before bed, try using a small book light. Now that blue lights can keep you awake, red ones are a great choice.If you can, keep noise in and around your room the lowest at night. If you have an old clock that ticks loudly and keeps you awake, replace it with a silent one. If you share your home with anyone else, request that they keep noises like talking, music, or TV shows at the lowest while you are trying to sleep. It is difficult to fall asleep if you live near a busy road or hear other boring sounds after bedtime. You could get a white noise machine or play recordings of nature sounds, like waves or whales’ singing. You could also listen to soft, relaxing music.Read a book in bed if you have difficulty in falling asleep. Staying in bed doing nothing when you’re having trouble falling asleep may keep you wide awake. While reading in bed may be slightly harmful to your eyes, it can distract (分散) you from your thoughts and help you feel sleepy. But remember to read from a print book rather than something with a screen. The light from electronic screens can keep you awake.Lowering your body temperature helps you sleep, so set the room temperature between 15.5℃-21℃could do the trick.4. What color1 book light should you choose toread before bed?A. Red.B. Blue.C. White.D. Orange.5. What is the author’s attitude towards reading in bed?A. Doubtful.B. Worried.C. Favorable.D. Uncaring.6. What can we inferred from the text?A. Reading on cellphones sometimes helps you fall asleep.B. The lower your temperature while sleeping is, the better.C. Bright lights are better for your reading before going to bed.D. Playing recordings like birds’ singing can improve your sleep.7. How does the author organize the text?A. By givingexamples.B. By asking questions.C. By offering suggestions.D. By listing research results.CFor years, life went something like this: We’d grow up in one place, head off to college, and then find a city to get a job and live there for a few years. The final goal was to find somewhere to settle down, buy a house, start a family, and begin the whole cycle all over again. But now some people are increasingly choosing to move from city to city throughout their entire lives, sometimes as frequently as every month.Just ask Alex Chatzieleftheriou, who has had a front-row seat watching this evolution unfold. Six years ago, he launched a startup called Blueground that rents out beautifully designed, fully furnished apartments for a month at a time, at rates that are cheaper than hotels. And it aims to make each one feel unique and comfortable,rather than standardized, like what you might find in a traditional hotel.Today, the company has 3,000 properties(房地产) in six U.S. cities, along with Dubai, Istanbul, London, Paris, and Chatzieleftheriou’s native Athens, and a staff of 400. With the helpof the Series B round of funding, the company landed $ 50 million, plus its previous total of $ 28 million, to continue its rapid expansion. It hopes to have 50,000 properties in 50 cities over the next three years.Chatzieleftheriou first came up with the idea for Blueground while he was working as a management consultant for McKinsey. “The accommodation of choice for consultants is the hotel,” he says. “I had to spend five years in hotel rooms, living in 12 different cities. I loved seeing the world, but I didn’t love feeling like I didn’t have a home.” And what’s more, hotels aren’t a particularly cost-effective solution for companies either. In Chatzieleftheriou’s case, McKinsey sometimes paid $ 10,000 or more for him to stay in a major city for a month.8. What does the author intend to tell in the first paragraph?A. A new lifestyle is appearing.B. Life is just like a circle for people.C. Most people are used to an easy life.D. People live in different places in life.9. What is the goal of Blueground?A. To compete with hotels.B. To create standardized hotels.C. To make renters feel at home.D. To rent out long-term apartments.10. What do we know about Blueground?A. It got a total investment of $ 78 million.B. Its business is anything but satisfying.C. It expanded to every corner of the world.D. It has 50,000 properties in 50 cities.11. What does the last paragraph focus on?A. High costs of hotels.B. Chatzieleftheriou’s former work.C Strengths of Blueground.D. The inspiration for Blueground.DFor fishermen and sailors in the seaside town of Shangpan in Linhai, Zhejiang province, where recently 12 stranded（搁浅的）whales were found, it is not unusual to spot whales or dolphins in the sea — they would always call them haizi, or “son of the ocean”. And if the local fishermen spot such intelligent sea creatures in need, they will save them from danger without hesitation.In the recent rescue of melon-headed whales, they tried their best to help as a 37-second video of a young man sleeping in the water holding a whale soon went viral online, with netizens applauding his constant efforts and caring heart in trying to keep the whale alive. “The melon-headed whale knew I was trying to save it and would be more cooperative and wouldn’t move.” said Lu Wenhui, a 21-year-old diver from Hangzhou Changqiao Polar Ocean Park, who held up the whale’s head so it could breathe easily. Lu had been staying in the water for 10 hours by 4 a.m. Wednesday after coming for the rescue work on Tuesday, when the stranded whales were first spotted.“Whales are mammals and need to breathe in air — that’s why I had to hold its head, to ensure it could breathe smoothly the whole time,” Lu said. The stranded whales, after the struggling of being transported, were worn out when they arrived at the fish farm and might have drowned if they were left unattended.The reason why the whales were stranded is still not clear. And these stranded whales were returned to the ocean because they are not adapted to artificial breeding environments on land.12. What do local fishermen usually do after finding haizi in danger?A.

Here are the top 4 budget hotels:The Chinatown Inn (About $30 per night)Just a block from the railway station, located in Chinatown’s open market. It has clean beds, central air conditioning, hot water forcoffee and tea, and a hall with a big screen TV. Wi-Fi is good except Floor 5. The guests’ complaint is that the air condition is too cold, so make sure you get a room with a window.

From the station, take the elevator to the 5th floor to reach the hotellobby(大厅). The rooms are clean and nice. There is a flat screen TV, the strongest Wi-Fi, and a very hot rainfall shower. The guests’ complaint is that the cafe is only open for breakfast and dinner, and not 24 hours.Central Hotel (About $35 per night)This hotel is just two blocks from the Central Station, which is the heart of all transportation in the city. From Central you can walk 2 blocks to the beautiful Central Hotel, in which rooms are small but clean, and have common Wi-Fi.Ocean 77 (About $25 per night)On Petaling Street in Chinatown, this brand new hotel is most spotlessly clean.

Since then, I had learned to get about with a walking stick, but had to stay at home because my parents thought I would get lost or robbed, even get hit by a car.I, however, believed I could regain my way if I lost it. A neighbor told me that a public library was offering a free course designed for the blind. That's an important opportunity for me to kill two birds with one stone: I could practice my getting — about skills on my way to learning practical technology. My parentssettled forit.But how would I plan my course? I knew that the blind singer Ray Charles, get around without a walking stick by counting steps. But I couldn't seem to do that the way he had. I developed the power of my imagination, catching the layout（布局）of places I visited and taking note of landmarks in my mind. Every time I visited a place, the mental map I'd drawn would turn up and helped me with the direction. But that doesn't mean I didn't lose my way in the process of acquiring this skill. I'd have to swallow（吞下）my pride to ask kind strangersfor help.On those days I lost my way, I'd go to bed feeling down. But my desires to beat blindness and further my education were usually enough to get me out of bed the next day and try again. Today, I'm a published reporter and audio producer.Yes, I've lost my way at times and found it again. And when people ask me,"Aren't you afraid to be out on your own?” the answer to me is clear：I'd rather risk and find happiness than stick to safety and be painful.Now, impressed by my progress, my father told my mother, "Our boy can see!".4. What does the underlined phrases “settled for" in the second paragraph mean?A. Talked about.B. Stuckto.C. Agreed to.D. Cared about.5.

Patient and intelligent.C. Warm-hearted and positive.D. Adventurous and outgoing.7. How did the author's parents feel about his progress?A.Concerned.B. Surprised.C. Confident.D. Proud.CNASA has flown an aircraft on another planet for the first time. On Monday, April 19, Ingenuity, a 1. 8-kilogram drone (无人机) helicopter, took off from the surface of Mars, flew up about threemeters, then hovered for 40 seconds and took photos above with one of its two cameras. The historic moment was livestreamed on YouTube. “We can now say that human beings have flown a drone helicopter on another planet,” said MiMi Aung, the Ingenuity Mars Helicopter project manager at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, at a press conference. “We, together, flew at Mars, and we, together, now have our Wright brothers moment,” she added, referring to the first powered airplane flight on Earth in 1903.The details: The flight was a significant technical challenge, thanks to Mars' s bone-chilling temperatures (nights can drop down to -130 °F / -90 °C) and its incredibly thin atmosphere — just 1% the density of Earth' s. That meant Ingenuity had to be light, with rotor blades (螺旋桨) that were bigger and faster than would be needed to achieve liftoff on Earth (although the gravity on Mars, which is only about one-third of Earth's, worked in its favor). The flight had originally been scheduled to take place on April 11 but was delayed by software issues.Why it's significant: Beyond being a significantmilestonefor Mars exploration, the flight will also pave the way for engineers to think about new ways to explore other planets. Future drone helicopters could help astronauts by scoping out locations, exploring inaccessible areas, and capturing images. Ingenuity will also help inform the design of Dragonfly, a car-size drone that NASA is planning to send to Saturn's moon Titan in 2027.What's next: In the next few weeks, Ingenuity will conduct four more flights, each lasting up to 90 seconds. Each one is designed to further push the limits of Ingenuity's capabilities. Ingenuity is only designed to last for 30 Martian days, and is expected to stop functioning aroundMay 4. Its final resting place will be in the Jezero Crater as NASA moves on to the main focus of its mission: Gettingthe Perseverance rover (毅力号火星探测器) to study Mars for evidence of life.8. Why does MiMi Aung mention Wright brothers?A. To honor the historic contribution of Wright brothers.B. To make a comparison between Wright brothers and herself.C. To highlight the importance of Ingenuity's Martian exploration.D. To remind the public of the first powered airplane flight on Earth.9. What caused challenges for Ingenuity designers?A. The delay of software tests.B. The force of gravity on Mars.C. Mars's temperatures and atmosphere.D. Technical difficulty in liftoff on Earth.10. What does the underlined word “milestone” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?A. A great victory.B. A difficult task.C. A roadside stone.D. A historic event.11. Which of the following can be a suitable title for the text?A. Mars Drone Helicopter Makes Historic First FlightB. Modern Wright Brothers Moment: Mars ExplorationC. First Drone Helicopter Spots Evidence of Life on MarsD. Ingenuity: Mars Drone Flies to Take Incredible PicturesDJapan's prime minister encouraged the decision to ban viewers, even family members, by issuing a state of emergency order in Tokyo earlier this month in response to rising COVID-19 case numbers.From the perspective of sports psychologists, an Olympics without fans is a real-life science experiment that is helping researchers and clinicians to comb through the true impact of a crowd of fans on its players—and on viewers at home. The strange circumstances under which the games are held may place unexpected pressure on some athletes. On Tuesday, superstar gymnast Simone Biles dropped out of the women's team event, telling teammates and reporters she wasn't in the right “headspace” to compete. “It's been really stressful this Olympic Games. There are a lot of different variables going into it,” Biles told the Washington Post.The 2020 Summer Olympics bears similarities and differences to other major sporting events without viewers. The English Premier League supplemented (增加) game broadcasts with crowd noise from the soccer video gameFIFA 20, mixed with game audio in real time. A Taiwanese baseball team and German soccer team began populating stands with cardboard cutouts of fans, and the trend caught on internationally.Jamey Houle, the lead sports psychologist for Ohio State University Athletics and a former Al-American gymnast, says competitive athletes are trained in visualization— imagining performing a certain action or motion, such as doing a roundoff back handspring in gymnastics. Without moving a muscle, players using visualization can solidify neural (神经的) connections and activate their motor cortex (皮层). To visualize most effectively, Houle says, athletes working with sports psychologists will try to simulate as closely as possible the conditions of actual gameplay. Empty stadiums may thus have a measurable impact on players' performance. This phenomenon is grounded in a psychological concept called “social facilitation”, referring to a change in a person's performance that occurs when others are around compared to when a person is alone.12. What caused Biles to drop out of the women's team event?A. The poor physical condition.B. The absence of the audience.C. The fiercely competitive event.D. The influence of crowds of fans.13. What can be inferred from Paragraph 3?A. The Taiwanese baseball team is a success.B. The tendency mentioned is popular among some sporting events.C. The 2020 Summer Olympics is stricter in preventing the pandemic.D. The crowd noise plays a leading role in the English Premier League.14. How does Houle explain the impact of empty stadiums on players' performance?A. By doing a roundoff back handspring.B. By simulating the conditions of actual gameplay.C. By using the concept called social facilitation.D. By changing the viewers of a player.15. What message does the author mainly convey in the text?A. Athletes should be trained in visualization.B. Audience should be admitted to the Olympics.C. Social facilitation is helpful to sporting events.D. Viewers present may influence players' performance.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。
2019-2020学年天津市第十七中学高三英语三模试卷及参考答案
2019-2020学年天津市第十七中学高三英语三模试卷及参考答案第一部分阅读（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项AThe Internet has revolutionized our lives to such an extent (程度) that for most people, the global network has become more than just a tool but rather an important aid in everyday life. More and more people go online as wireless networks have brought the Internet closer and closer: it’s on our mobile phones, in our cars and TV sets, in hospital surgery rooms and in fishing boats that battle the waves of the Atlantic.And this revolution has brought along with it a new way of shopping. Both big and small, e-business websites have flooded the Internet by the hundreds of thousands. Anything you can buy from a brick and mortar store (实体店) you can also buy online: from food and clothes to toys, no matter what you’re looking for, you’re bound to find the right online store with just a few clicks of the mouse. You can use the Internet to find new suppliers, post buying requests or search for products and services.This revolution has affected brick and mortar business owners greatly. And what was their reaction? They’ve opened online stores to go hand in hand with their conventional business.But do the big players have reasons to be afraid? Are we going to start seeing ghostly, deserted Walmarts (沃尔玛) across the country? Probably not in the near future but the day will come when most people will just stop shopping offline anymore. A trip to Walmart wastes time, burns gas.The recent advancements in mobile technology and the introduction of mobile phones with enhanced (提高的) web capabilities have even made some people order their groceries when they get out from work and have them delivered at their doorstep by the time they get home. And as “Time is money”, this practice is lifesaving for people whowork two jobs.Technology will continue to advance and e-business will follow closely in its footsteps. Everything will become easier and less time consuming, leaving us more time to enjoy the things that really matter in life: the ones we love, our friends and hobbies.1. What is Paragraph 1 mainly about?A. The popularity of mobile phones.B. The great influence of the Internet.C. The importance of the Internet.D. The function of the global network.2. In response to the threat of online business, the brick-and-mortar store owners________.A. have stopped their traditional businessB. have started their dislike of the InternetC. have established their own websiteD. have opened their online stores3. What would be the best title for the passage?A. A New Way of Shopping.B. The Internet Revolution.C. What is the Reaction to Online Shopping?D. Is Online Shopping the Future of E-business?BIt is a question people have been asking for ages. Is there a way to turn back the aging process?For centuries, people have been looking for a “fountain of youth”. The idea is that if you find a magical fountain, and drink from its waters, you will not age.Researchers in New York did not find an actual fountain of youth, but they may have found a way to turn back the aging process. It appears the answer may be hidden right between your eyes, in an area called the hypothalamus (下丘脑). The hypothalamus is part of your brain. It controls important activities within the body.Researchers at New York’s Albert Einstein College of Medicine found that hypothalamus neural (神经的) stem cells also influence how fast aging takes place in the body.What are stem cells(干细胞)? They are simple cells that can develop into specialized cells, like blood or skin cells. Stem cells can also repair damaged tissues and organs.Dongsheng Cai is a professor at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine. He was the lead researcher in a study on aging in mice. He and his team reported their findings in the journal Nature, Cai explained when hypothalamus function is in decline, particularly the loss of hypothalamus stem cells, and this protection against the aging development is lost. it eventually leads to aging.Using this information, the researchers began trying to activate, or energize, the hypothalamus laboratory mice. They did this by injecting the animals with stem cells, Later, the researchers examined tissues and tested for changes in behavior. They looked for changes in the strength and coordination (协调) of the animals muscles. They also studied the social behavior and cognitive ability of the mice. The researchers say the results show that thetreatment slowed aging in the animals, Cai says injecting middle-aged mice with stem cells from younger mice helped the older animals live longer.But these results were just from studying mice in a laboratory. If the mice can live longer, does that mean people could have longer lives? The next step is to see if the anti-aging effects also work in.4. In Paragraph 2 a “fountain of youth” is mentioned to ________.A. introduce the main topicB. show a hidden secret.C. describe scientists researchD. recommend a way to stay young5. Aging takes place in the body when _______.A. stem cells develop into specialized cellsB. there are important activities within the bodyC. hypothalamus neural stem cells fail to protect against agingD. the hypothalamus fails to repair damaged tissues and organs6. What do we know about the researchers at Albert Einstein College of Medicine from the text?A. They did experiments to see how stem cells work.B. They studied mice to find their connection with humans.C. They have found a possible way to slow the aging progress.D. They have found no changes in mice s behavior during the experiment7. What will the researchers probably do next?A. They will help some animals live longer.B. They will announce the fountain of youth doesn’t existC. They will develop products to help people live a longer life immediatelyD. They will do research to see if what they have found in mice will apply to humans.COlder adults with a better sense of smell may live longer than thosewho have a poor sense of smell, a new study suggests. The study was a project of researchers in theUnited Statesthat was ongoing for over 13 years. They asked nearly 2,300 men and women to identify 12 common smells. All the subjects were from 71 to 82 years of age. The researchers gave the adults scores, from 0 to as high as 12, based on how many smells they identified correctly.During the years of follow-up investigation, over 1,200 of the subjects died. When the study was launched, none of the adults were weak. They could walk a little under half a kilometer, climb 10 steps and independently complete daily activities. In the latest findings, the researchers noted that those with a weak nose were 30 percent more likely to die than people with a good sense of smell. The findings were reported last month in the scientific publication Annals of Internal Medicine.Honglei Chen, a doctor withMichiganStateUniversityinEast Lansing,Michigan, was the lead writer of a report on the study. He said the connection between a poor sense of smell and an increased risk of dying was limited to adults who first reported good-to-excellent health. This suggests that a poor sense of smell is an early and sensitive sign for worsening health before it is recognizable in medical tests. With a poor sense of smell, people are more likely to die of brain and heart diseases, but not of cancer or breathing disorders.The results also suggest that a poor sense of smell may be an early warning for poor health in older age that goesbeyond dementia or other neurodegenerative(神经变性的) diseases. These often signal the beginning of a weakening of the mind or body.8. What do you know about the study mentioned?A. The study involved researchers from the world.B. All the participants were of different ages.C. The study began to be performed about 13 years ago.D. 2 ,300 men and women were young and healthy.9. What was the situation like at the beginning of the study?A. More than 1,200 of the participants passed away.B. Many of the subjects were found with health problems.C. All the subjects were independent of others when walking.D. One third of the participants had a poor smell sense.10. What can be inferred from the last two paragraphs?A. People with a poor sense of smell have heart disease.B. You should be careful with your health if you smell poorly.C. People with a poor sense of smell won't suffer from cancer.D. Most of the elder people may have the dementia disease.11. Which is the best title for the passage?A. Strong Sense of Smell May Be Linked to Longer LifeB. Old People Tend to Have a Poor Sense of SmellC. A Number of Factors Result in Longer LifeD. Being Ill Means Losing the Sense of SmellDMost kids can walk into a library or bookstore and find hundreds of books to read. But it’s not that simple for kids who are blind. They read in a different way. Jenny Lee and other braille (盲文) transcribers take the printed words of a book and change them into a code of raised dots. Blind people can read these dots with their fingers. To know what braille feels like, take a ballpoint pen and press hard onto a piece of paper. Now turn the paper over and touch the raised dot made by the pen point.When Lee first saw the dots of the braille alphabet, she wondered if she’d ever be able to read and write them easily. She took a class and practised hard for about six months before she passed the final exam: she had to convert 35 pages of a book into braille. Today, Lee works for a publisher. One of her jobs is to change children’s books into braille.To do this, Lee first types the story into a computer and then uses a computer program to translate it into the braille code. Next, she looks over the translation several times to make sure it’s mistake-free. After that, a copy of the braille story is printed with a special printer. Then Lee and a proofreader work together to find and correct any mistakes. When a book is ready, many copies of it are printed. Afterwards, some are sold through websites and others are sent to libraries.Sometimes, going over a story again and again gets tiring. That’s when Lee takes a break. Several of Jenny Lee’s co-workers, who are blind, use guide dogs. When the animals aren’t working, Lee likes spending a few minutes with them. To her, playing with dogs “is always apick-me-upin the middle of the day”.“I love this mission,” Lee says. “Through my brain power and my fingers, I am putting the dots into some kid’s hands.”12. How does the writer explain what braille feels like?A. By explaining what braille words look like.B. By describing how blind people read books.C. By asking readers to experience it themselves.D. By giving examples of different braille words.13. What was Lee’s first reaction to braille?A. She was excited to get a new skill.B. She was amazed at the clever idea.C. She realized she could teach it herself.D. She believed it would be difficult to learn.14. What does the underlined word “pick-me-up” in paragraph 4 most probably mean?A A discussion to release work stress.B. Something to improve one’s appetite.C. Something to help restore one’s spirit.D. A free ride accompanied with a guide dog.15. What does Lee think of her job?A. Profitable and hopeful.B. Tiring but meaningful.C. Relaxing and helpful.D. Boring but challenging.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。

2020届天津市第十七中学高三英语三模试题及参考答案第一部分阅读（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项ADuring ancient times, children didn’t have smartphones, iPad or computers to entertain themselves. Instead, they came up with interesting games to play.★Stone ballsDuring the Qing Dynasty, kicking a stone ball around was a popular sport in the northern part of China, and it was often played in the winter to protect kids from the cold. Stones were carved into small balls and kicked along with feet. In 1999, the sport was included in the 6th National Ethnic Group Traditional Sports Meeting held in Beijing.★Flying kitesKites have quite a long history. The earliest kites were made of wood, instead of paper. Nowadays, the four most famous kites are the Beijing kite, Tianjin kite , Weifang kite and Nantong kite, of which each has distinctive features. The kite which resembles a swallow is a well-known Beijing style.★Hide-and-seekHide-and-seek is a traditional game for children, popular around the nation. There are two ways to play: covering a child’s eyes while other kids run around to tease(戏弄) him or, more commonly, participants hide and one child must try to find them.★Playing diabolosA diabolo is always made of wood or bamboo and has empty space in the center. By juggling(边抛边接) the diabolo on the rope, the high-speed spinning diabolos will make a sound like a whistle. Playing diabolos is an interesting folk game, especially popular in North China. Playing diabolos was also included in the first group of national intangible cultural heritage(非物质文化遗产).1.Why did ancient children often play stone balls in the winter?A.To practice their feet.B.To warm themselves.C.To train their skills.D.To relax themselves.2.Which kites are swallow-shaped?A.Weifang kites.B.Tianjin kites.C.Beijing kites.D.Nantong kites.3.Why does playing diabolos make a sound?A.Because the diabolo’s center is empty.B.Because the high-speed spinning diabolo is light.C.Because the diabolo is equipped with a whistle.D.Because ropes’ surface moves against the diabolo’s.BLast year, 138,000San Franciscoresidents used Airbnb, a popular app designed to connect home renters and travelers. It’s a striking number for a city with a population of about 850,000, and it was enough for Airbnb to win a major victory in local elections, asSan Franciscovoters struck down a debatable rule that would have placed time restrictions and other regulations on short-term rental services.The company fiercely opposed the measure, Proposition F, with a nearly $10 million advertising campaign. It also contacted its San Franciscan users with messages urging them to vote against Proposition F.Most people think of Airbnb as a kind of couch-surfing app. The service works for one-night stays on road trips and longer stays in cities, and it often has more competitive pricing than hotels. It’s a textbook example of the “sharing economy”, but not everyone is a fan.The app has had unintended consequences inSan Francisco. As the San Francisco Chronicle reported last year, a significant amount of renting on Airbnb is not in line with the company’s image: middle-class families putting up a spare room to help make ends meet. Some users have taken advantage of the service, using it to turn their multiple properties into vacation rentals or even full-time rentals. Backers of Proposition F argued that this trend takes spaces off the conventional, better-regulated housing market and contributes to rising costs.“The fact is, widespread abuse of short-term rentals is taking much needed housing off the market and harming our neighborhoods,” said ShareBetter SF, a group that supported Proposition F. Hotel unions have protested the company’s practices inSan Franciscoand other cities, saying that it creates an illegal hotel system.San Franciscois in the middle of a long-term, deeply rooted housing crisis that has seen the cost of living explode. Actually, explode is a generous term. The average monthly rent for an apartment is around $4, 000. Located on a narrow outcropping of land overlooking the bay,San Franciscosimply doesn’t have enough space to accommodate the massive inflow of young, high-salaried tech employees flocking toSilicon Valley.As the Los Angeles Times reported, someSan Franciscoresidents supported the measure simply because it seemed like a way to check a big corporation. Opponents of Proposition F countered that the housing crisis runsmuch deeper, and that passing the rule would have discouraged a popular service while doing little to solve the city’s existing problems.4. The intention of Proposition F is to ________.A. place time limits in local election.B. set limits on short-term rental.C. strike down a controversial rule.D. urge users to vote against Airbnb.5. What is the negative consequence of Airbnb onSan Francisco?A. It shrinks the living space of middle-class families.B. Users are taken advantage of by the service financially.C. It makes the house market more competitive.D. It indirectly leads to high house rental price.6. The housing crisis inSan Franciscoresults from ________.A. explosion of the living costB. its geographic characteristicsC. generosity of local enterprisesD. inflow of migrant population7. Theauthor’s attitude toward Proposition F is ________.A. objectiveB. supportiveC. negativeD. indifferentCThe outbreak of the novel corona virus pneumonia (NCP) has disrupted the lives and work of nearly every Chinese person. However, a new trend has been on the rise: many have turned themselves into livestreaming users orfollowers.According to Questmobile, a professional big data intelligence services provider in China, the audience for Douyin, Kuaishou and other livestreaming platforms surged to 574 million during the Spring Festival holiday, up 35 percent from 2019.Confined at home, away from their friends and loved ones, people turn to livestreaming to reach out to the world. For them livestreaming can help them share their lives and interest with a global audience, which will give them the sense of being “in the moment”. Even as viewers, they can also engage immediately with livestreamers by commenting and making suggestions.“When I comment on the livestreaming videos, I’m not simply an audience member, but also an active part of the program. That gives me a sense of engagement,” an Internet user named Wang Hao told People’s Daily.Livestreaming is not only for fun, but also a new tool for many businesses. Affected by the pandemic, manybusinesses had to stop their sales in physical stores. To meet their business goals and survive during these trying times, many chose to livestream to revive their businesses.Joyoung, a leading maker of small kitchen appliances, is a good example. The company not only added a number of broadcasts each day to advertise their products, but also shared the menus that were beneficial to health. “The responses to our livestreaming shows have been well beyond expectations,” Kang Li, who oversees the company’s livestreaming unit, told China daily. “It’s a natural opportunity to truly bond with our followers.”Like it or not, livestreaming is likely to go mainstream in China for both entertainment and business.8. What is the purpose of writing the second paragraph?A. To introduce some popular livestreaming platforms in China.B. To report data on the development of livestreaming in 2019.C. To show that Chinese people spend too much time on livestreaming apps.D. To prove that livestreaming are becoming increasingly popular in China.9. What does Wang Hao think of commenting on livestreaming?A. It is boring to make comments.B. It is the only way to share viewers’ lives.C. It makes people feel involved in the stream.D. It helps livestreamers improve themselves.10. What do paragraphs 5&6 mainly talk about?A. Livestreaming replaced physical stores in many areas.B. Many businesses turned to livestreaming platform for marketing.C. Livestreaming platforms faced challenges during the pandemic.D. Livestreaming platforms made changes to their services.11. How does the author feel about thefuture of livestreaming？A. Positive.B. Uncertain.C. Disappointed.D. Confused.DChimps use loud calls and gestures to make their feelings known but until now, the exact meaning for individual movements has remained a mystery. Now researchers believe they have translated the key gestures used in the chimp community and identified their intentions for the first time.From 4,351 gestures, experts were able to identify 66 that are used for 19 specific message meanings,including showing a foot to tell a child they can climb on their back. The researchers were able to narrow down these 66 gestures to 36 that are used intentionally to achieve 15 purposes. The translations were made by Dr Catherine Hobaiter and her colleagues at St Andrews University in Scotland.Dr Hobaiter used behavior sampling and filmed all recorded cases of gestural communication. Other gestures include stomping their feet to ask another chimp to stop what they are doing, and slapping objects together to ask another to follow them. Of the 19 meanings,17 encouraged interactions to start, or to develop, such as “move closer,” and “change play”. Some of the gestures were found to have more than one meaning. and only 10 of the 66 gestures were used for only a single meaning.Researchers collected a total of 471 video clips from two social groups of chimps at a shelter near Kinshasa, Democratic Republic of Congo. As well as identifying what the gesture means, they also discovered the technique needed to increase the chances of success.“Human children use gestures to communicate before they produce their first words, and their earliest gestures typically appear around 10 months of age,” explained the researchers. “In great apes, there is good evidence that language-trained individuals are capable of acquiring and understanding signals, but this is far less clear in their natural communication. ”12. Chimps slap the objects to____________.A. tell others to stop what they are doingB. ask others chimps to join themC. gather other chimps to move closerD. encourage interactions to start13. What did researchers find after studying 471 video clips?A. Chimps trained in language are good at understanding signals.B. Two social groups of chimps live at a shelter near Kinshasa.C.

A．Before it is piped to a treatment plant.B．After it runs over your lawn.C．After it runs into the street.D．Before it drops from the roof.5．It can be inferred from the passage that ________.A．it is easy to make rainwater drinkableB．the author calls on people to harvest rainwaterC．many countries ignore to harvest rainwaterD．it is easy to deal with the pollutants from rainwaterBThere is a huge demand for shark fins(鳍) in Asian countries.As a result，many sharks are caught and killed.In Palau，where more than half of tourists are drawn by diving excursions，each reef shark brings in about 179,000 in tourism revenue annually，or about 1.9 million during its lifetime.Due to overexploitation and lack of proper management，many shark species are under considerable risk of unrecoverable decline with some species having declined to near extinction in recentyears.According to reports，sharks are being killed at an alarming rate of up to 273 million worldwide per year.Some experts predict that if the killing continues at the current rate many shark species will be lost forever.It can be very dangerous.Sharks are very important and they should be protected.In a study of the east coast of the United States,11 species of sharks were eliminated from their range.Of the 14 species of ocean life that those sharks used to eat，the populations of 12 exploded and caused great damage to the ecosystem.For example，the cownose ray(鳐) population was no longer kept under control by sharks and so grew out of control.As a result，the rays destroyed the population of bay scallops(扇贝)，their favorite food.The scallop fishery，which had been in good condition for over 100 years，was wiped out.Also，the removal of the scallops most likely had an effect on water quality as they were no longer there to perform their function of cleaning the water.Sharks play a vital role in the oceans in a way that the average fish does not.Most sharks serve as top predators at the pinnacle of the marine food pyramid，and so play a critical role in ocean ecosystems.Directly or indirectly they regulate the natural balance of these ecosystems.Sharks tend to eat very efficiently，going after the old，sick，or slower fish in a population，keeping that population healthy.Sharks help keep many populations of ocean life to the right size so that those prey(猎物) species don’t cause harm to the ecosystem by becoming too populated.The ocean ecosystem is made up of very complex food webs.For the most part，sharks are at the top of these webs and are considered by scientists to be “keystone” species，meaning that removing them may cause the whole structure to fall apart，including key fisheries such as tuna and other important fish species that maintain the health of coral reefs.Therefore，we should protect sharks because doing so is to protect the whole ecosystem.6．What’s the main reason for killing sharks in Asia?A．Shark fins are in great need.B．People kill them out of fear.C．Sharks often attack swimmers.D．Sharks break the balance of the sea.7．The underlined word “eliminated” in Paragraph 3 can be replaced by “________”．A．separated B．removedC．forbidden D．protected8．After the number of cownose rays greatly increased，________.A．water quality improved as wellB．bay scallops grew out of controlC．the health of coral reefs worsenedD．the local scallop fishery was harmed9．What can we know about sharks from Paragraph 4?A．They can’t find enough f ood to feed on.B．They never eat the old，sick or slower fish.C．Their large populations can harm the ecosystem.D．They play a key role in keeping the ecosystem healthy.10．What does the passage mainly talk about?A．Why sharks are killed worldwide.B．Why sharks should be protected.C．How humans keep the ecosystem balanced.D．How ocean life affects the ecosystem.答案解析高考高频单词与短语识记排查跟踪训练Ⅰ.1.noisy 2.deliberately 3.natural 4.difference 5．decreaseⅡ.6.A[句意为：看墙上的标志，任何人都不准在医院吸烟，无论他是谁。
