There are actually lots of tour guides that will help you as you make your journey along the streets of Durban. But if you prefer the best tour guides here in Durban, then you d better settle for the Street Scene Tours.Their staff are all well-trained and professional.They will certainly make your stay here an unforgettable one.No wonder tourists prefer lhe Street Scene Tours when it comes to Durban Citly Tours ・1 • The underlined word "strained" in Para.2 means _______ ・A. easyB. stressfulC. steady 2.

My biggest lessons have been learned through being cheated, particularly by taxi and rickshaw (人力车)drivers, but that doesn,t mean those are bad ways to travel, as long as you know what you re doing. Below are the best ways to get around the city of Delhi, India, and tips for how to keep from being the victim of scams (欺骗i)・Taking taxis is a great way to get around the city of Delhi and chances are, if you arrive in Delhi by plane, as soon as you make it through customs, you' 11 be swarmed by Indian taxi drivers. At the Delhi airport, be sure to arrange for a taxi to your hotel at one of the two Delhi Traffic Police Taxi Booths. One is inside the airport, and one is outside・ The key is to make sure to go to a booth run by the police, rather than by independent taxi drivers・Rickshaws are one of my favorite ways to get around Indian cities, in part because it,s how the locals often travel. Auto-rickshaws are more common, but bicycle rickshaws are still used in Old Delhi. If you do have a chance to take a bicycle rickshaw, you should do it at least once for a unique experience that should only set you back about 15 rupees・ Auto-rickshaw rates around Delhi range between 30 and 80 rupees, depending on distance・If you really want to travel around Delhi like the locals, take a public bus. Indian buses become very crowded and most do not have air conditioning・ They are, however, very cheap・ A bus trip won' t set you back any more than 15 rupees, as long as you stay within the city limits. Since Indian buses get so crowded, try to board the bus at the start of the route so you can get a sea匸The train is a great way to get around within the city of Delhi. Fares are reasonable, between six and 22 rupees- All departure announcements are in both Hindi and English, and tokens can be purchased for between six and 22 rupees.5.To avoid being cheated, you ought to ______ if you want to take a taxi at the Delhi airport・A. pay more to the drivers to keep safeB ・ show your ticket to the driverC. go to a police-run boothD・ go out of the airport6.The author suggests taking a rickshaw in order to _______ .A. save some money B・ enjoy the comfortable tripC. gain some unique experienceD. help the local rickshaw drivers7.What can we infer from the passage?A. You won' t have to pay much if you travel around by bus in India・B • It will be difficult for you to get a seat if you get on the bus halfway・C. A rickshaw driver only charges whatever amount you give him.D・ You,11 have to speak English if you travel around in India・8・ Which may be the topic that follows?A. Hotel recommendations in Delhi.B. Weather conditions in Delhi.C. Food and drink in Delhi.D. Car rentals in Delhi・cDo you know the open-air art gallery in London" s Blackall Street? Probably not- Not many Londoners know it either, but Henri does and he is willing to show it to you.Henri used to sleep in parks until he met a charity (慈善机构)that helps homeless people get back on their feet by becoming tour guides-Rather than show traditional London sights, "Unseen Tours"' take_peoDle_offLthe_beaten_track・Henri has been teaching tourists about the history and architecture of Shoreditch, where he slept on public benches for three years.When he felt separated from the s ociety, con tact with the volunteer network “The Sock Mob" gave Henri hope. “Not everyone just looked down on me,” he said・ The tours aren,t the only actions trying to help those who have suffered a misfortune to stand tall again・An innovative (仓U新的)college for homeless people in London, the first of its kind in the country, is attracting hundreds of students. The Recovery College, set up by St Mungo's charity, is providing courses designed to improve technical skills and life skills.According to Andy Williams, who helps to organize the college, the most popular courses have proved to be about raising self-confidence and developing self-pride.Steve, now in his 50s, told a reporter how much of a difference it makes to “have a bit of confidence^. He had difficulty learning to read and had to leave school when he was 12. Because Sieve's problem was not recognized al the time, he was "seen to be unable to read or wrile", and suffered with depression and alcohol addiction. He says the status of "studenf9 is itself important for people who are used to being treated as outcasts (被遗弃者).Some charities aim not only to help the homeless become independent but also to make them popula 匚The Homeless World Cup started ten years ago.

The underlined part "lake people off the beaten track" means "take people to _______ •”A ・ famous galleriesB • tradi tional sightsC. unusual placesD. public benches10. How does the Recovery College help the homeless people?A. By training them to be guides・B • By offering them different courses.C. By keeping in contact with them.D・ By asking more students to help them・11 • The purpose of the Homeless World Cup is to help the homeless people________ .A. become football starsB. improve life skillsC. gain self-confidence D・ find proper jobs12- Which is the best title for the passage?A •Confidence Back NowB •London TourC. The Popular HomelessD. Football HeroesDDoes it annoy you when your parents make you drink a carton of milk when you want a can of soda? Or do you hate being told to go for a run when your favorite TV show is on?Well, maybe you should listen to your parents because they are only trying to help you. Without proper diet and exercise kids are at risk of developing fragile bones when they get older. That" s because our bodies are very good at building bones until about the age of 30, when the process stops.Dr. Lawrence Raisz, scientific editor of The 2004 Surgeon Generaf s Report on Bone Health and Osteoporosis (骨质疏松症),agrees. “We,re in bad shape, " he says. His report predicts that by 2020, half of all Americans over the age of 50 will be at risk of fractures (骨折)because of low bone mass. “Kids today are 一whal's the expression? 一lhey,re computer potatoes・ They have lots of soft drinks and not enough good calcium-rich (富含钙质的)food.v And therein (在其中)lies the problem, because calcium and exercise, along with vitamin D, are the important components for building up strong bones・If you think of your body as a house, then your skeleton (骨架)is the supporting frame 一a frame maintained and strengthened by calcium. Once we hit our 30s, our bodies start to draw from the calcium stored in our bones• If there is enough calcium, then the structure will stand firm, but if there's not? Picture the frame of a house devoured (吞噬)by termites (白蚁),the wood brittle (易折的)and filled with holes・ That" s what osteoporosis does to your skeleton.The second half of the skeleton building equation (等式)is exercise. For optimum (最适宜的)bone health, the Surgeon General recommends that children get 60 minutes of weight-bearing (负重)orstrengthening exercise a day. As with muscles, bones grow stronger with use; plenty of exercise means plenty of bones health. "If you do an hour of exercise a day, it doesn,t matter so much whatit is, " Raisz says. “ You' re telling your bones they,ve got to grow! ”13.According to Dr Lawrence Raisz, why will many Americans have weak bones in the future?A.Because their body will stop building bones.B.Because they are not familiar with the structure of the body・C・ Because they have an unhealthy diet and do not exercise enough・D. Because they can,t afford a qualified doctor14.We can leam from the article that _______ .A. the storage of calcium in our body doesn,t change even when we grow oldB • many American parents have ignored the dangers of their kids getting fracturesC. a daily diet rich in calcium and vitamin D is necessary for strong bonesD・ half an hour of muscle exercises a day is enough for kids to develop strong bones15.The main idea of the passage is that ______ ・A.proper diet and exercise is of benefit to people" s bone healthB.kids in America don" t like exercisingC.people in America don" t have proper dietD.one's body is like a houseII •任务型阅读How to find time for yourselfDo you ever find yourself longing for some time for yourself?

It all started three years ago, when Campbell asked his parents if they could buy Christmas presents for kids in hospital. They were touched by his kindness, but told him that buying so many toys would be too costly. He is one of nine children, and buying presents for all of them was already a pretty expensive affair for the parents.Campbell didn’t let a simple “no” discourage him from bringing a bit of joy to kids going through tough times, so he decided to make the presents himself. It took the 9-year-old boy five hours to create his first stuffed (填充的) toy. However after three years of practice, he is now able to put one together in just an hour.“I was blown away by the first bear,” his mother said. “Overly impressed but not surprised at his determination to teach himself.” The s uccessful experiment only inspired Campbell Remess to become better at sewing, and challenged himself to create one stuffed toy per day and donate them to sick children struggling in the hospital. Project 365 by Campbell was born. Over the last three years, CampbellRemess has created over 800 stuffed toys for sick children.Campbell sends his toys to children all over the world, and still visits the Royal Hobart Hospital in his home city of Hobart, Tasmania, to personally gift toy animals to sick kids ther e and loves to see the reaction on their faces. “They smile and some hug me. It makes their whole day better,” he says.“Campbell is just wired really differently. He looks at sadness and tries to turn it upside down,” his mother says. “He’s not a quitter—I only see bigger and brighter things for him.”25. Why did Campbell’s parents refuse his request?A. They thought that was ridiculous.B. They wished him to depend on himself.C. They were on a tight budget.D. They hoped he could share his things with others.26. What desire drove Campbell to make toys for sick children?A. Bringing happiness to them.B. Showing kindness to them.C. Encouraging them to treasure health.D. Proving to them everyone has creativity.27. What can we learn about Campbell from the text?A. He is planning to set up Project 365.B. He sends toys to those who can’t afford one.C. He made the first toy with his mother’s help.D. He is determined and refuses to give up.CIt is quite apparent that competition surrounds every aspect of human life whether in the United States or the Amazon Rain Forest. Without it we would not have grown into primates (灵长类动物). Or we would probably still be struggling to sharpen a bronze tool while crawling around on four legs in search of meat. Without competition, Columbus wouldn’t have discovered America and Edison would never have invented the light bulb.Friendship, like all relationship between two people, involves competition. It isn’t competition in a traditional sense because there are no goals to be scored and no prize. Perhaps the ecological definition —the simultaneous (同时的) demand by two or more organisms for limited environmental resources, such as nutrients, living space, or light — better explain it.As in nature, high school life is governed by a set of laws, similar to a shortened version of Darwin’s theory of evolution, overpopulation, and competition. There is an abundance of high school students and to distinguish them, ranking and categorizing (分类) take place. In high school, friendships learn to co-exist with competition even though at times the relationship is rough. In fact, in some circumstances, competition is too much of a burden for a friendship to bear, causing it to fall apart. College admission is the final high school objective. Four years of hard work is to achieve good grades, and a student’s fate is determined not only by these achievements, but by the records of thousands of other seniors trying to achieve a similar recognition.Nevertheless, by necessity, competition between students exists in all aspects of high school life. It sets and improves the standards in everything from sports to school work. A healthy, friendly competition can have only benefits, but when it becomes too fierce, jealousy (妒忌) can tear friendships apart. Yet, despite all this, without competition, we would be lost.28. What does the ecological definition mainly explain?A. How friends compete with each other.B. How to win the competition.C. What the result of competition is.D. What competition exactly is.29. According to the writer, what causes the high school students to compete?A. The number of them is too large.B. Friendship is a burden for them.C. They know the laws of nature well.D. They are divided into different groups.30. Which best describes the relationship of friendship and competition?A. Friendship is always based on competition.B. The degree of competition is vital to friendship.C. Competition is terribly harmful to friendship.D. Competition is a result of lost friendship.31. What does the author think of “competition”?A. The results of competition are out of control.B. Competition becomes fiercer in high school.C. Competition is certain to happen at schools.D. Friendship is not as important as competition at schools.DI look around and can’t recognize where I am. It seems familiar but distant. I see my friends gathered by a stage where music is playing and I run over. As I begin running towards them, they become further and further away. I keep calling for them, but no one hears me. I start hearing a distant alarm-like sound and I am transported away. I woke up in a daze (茫然) sitting in my bed.“Oh, it was only a dream,” I said to myself. I have always had vivid and intense dreams. Sometimes, it feels li ke I haven’t even slept because I have been living out my dreams during my sleep.Today, dreaming is being studied even more than ever. Some say that dreams are how your receptors (受体) make sense of random thoughts while you sleep. Some say that you can’t dream of a face you have never seen before, so everyone you see in your dreams you have at least laid eyes on at one time or another.Other people think dreams are ways of expressing stress or internal feelings you may be experiencing. A lot of people say that they have dreams about being chased (追逐).A common interpretation of the “being chased” dream is that you are feeling threatened. Some dream interpretation sites say you should try to reflect on what or who is chasing you to get a better idea of what is making you feel this way.Another dream that is often experienced is flying. This dream has a much more positive interpretation, which is that you are feeling free or have broken out of a bad situation such as a relationship turned sour or a job you hate.Unfortunately, if you even remember your dreams at all, you forget half of your dream within five minutes of waking up and within 10 minutes, you usually forget 90 percent of it.Dreamologists, people who devote time to the study and interpretation of dreams, suggest if you want to try to remember and study your dreams you should keep a journal beside your bed and jot down what you dreamt as soon as you wake up so you can reflect on it later.32. Dreams of “being chased” occur because ________.A. you are feeling threatenedB. you just quit a job you hateC. your friends are far away from you when in needD. your receptors is always thinking while you sleep33. Why should we keep a journal beside your bed to reflect on dreams?A. We need to chase those people who appeared in our dreams.B. We usually forget 90 percent of dreams within 10 minutes.C. It can help us get out of the intense dreams.D. It can help us sleep well without dreams.34. Where can we read this article?A. In a poster.B. In a physics book.C. In a traveling magazine.D. In a science newspaper.35. What is the best title for the passage?A. Why am I Always DreamingB. How is My Dream CreatedC. What do My Dreams MeanD.

AMichelle was a student at University of California, Los Angeles. She is here to tell us how she feels about the city.What were the best things about Los Angeles?One of my favorite things about Los Angeles is the weather. I hate the cold and it never really gets that cold there. Plus, most of the time it’s usually sunny, which is good because I love going to the be ach during the summer. There’s so much to do at the beach, but my favorite thing in L.A. was having a picnic on the sand with my friends.What were the worst things about being there?I disliked having to drive everywhere to get around because the city is so spread out. Los Angeles has a lot of traffic and sometimes it takes a long time to get somewhere close by just because the streets are so crowded. Also, a lot of people complain about the pollution.Did you have any problems there?Just the normal problems of living in any city, like watching out for pickpockets (扒手). Some people think Los Angeles has a lot of crime, but I think it’s as safe as any other city. Also, many people think driving is difficult because there is a lot of traffic and road rage (路怒症), but it just takes a little practice and a lot of patience.What are the people like in Los Angeles?There are all types of people in Los Angeles since the city is pretty diverse. For the most part, though, most of the people are friendly, calm and relaxed. Some people say that everyone in Los Angeles is b eautiful, but I think that’s just a stereotype (模式化的印象). Would you go back to Los Angeles?Certainly. Los Angeles is one of my favorite cities in the world. I love the fact that it has all the nightlife and shopping of a big city, but also has access to beaches, parks, mountains and other places you can’t usually find in large cities. Between the weather and the beaches and all the fun things to do, it’s a great place to be.21.

The purpose of the text is to get more people to _____.A. collect books for the clubB. learn from famous writersC. read different kinds of booksD. join the club and order booksCDarek Fidyka, a 38-year-old Bulgarian, had been paralysed (瘫痪的) from the chest down for four years after a knife attack. Scientists from Britain and Poland took cells from his nose, transplanted (移植) them into his back and re-grew his spinal cord (脊髓). Now he can walk and even drive a car. The doctors were delighted but said it was the first step in a long journey.The breakthrough came after 40 years of research by Professor Geoff Raisman, who found that cells had the possibility to repair damage to nasal (鼻腔的) nerves, the only part of the nervous system that constantly re-grows. “The idea was to take something from an area where the nervous system can repair itself, and does so throughout life, and put it into an area that doesn’t repair itself,” Professor Raisman said.Polish doctors injected the nasa l cells into Mr Fidyka’s spinal cord above and below the injury and used some nerves from his ankle to form a bridge across the damaged tissue. The nasal cells appear to have caused the spinal nerves to repair themselves.Professor Raisman achieved this with rats in the late 1990s, but this is his greatest success. “I think the moment of discovery for me was Christmas in 1997 when I first saw a rat that couldn’t control its hand put its hand out to me. That was an exciting moment, because I realised then that my belief that the nervous system could be repaired was true.”Doctors chose the easiest case for their first attempt — it might not work for others. But there is a real sense of hope that an idea once thought impossible has been realised.David Nicholls, who helped provide money for the breakthrough, said information about the breakthrough would be made available to researchers across the globe.“What you’ve got to understand is that for three million paralysed people in the world today, the world looks a totally brighter place than it did yesterday,” he said.28. Why did Professor Geoff Raisman choose cells from the nose?A. The nervous system in the nose can repair itself.B. Cells in the nose can be easily transplanted.C. Cells in the nose re-produce rapidly.D. He just wanted to give it a try.29. Why did the operation work for Darek Fidyka?A. The nasal cells re-produced and spread quickly.B. The nerves from his ankle helped cure the injury.C. The nervous system in the spinal cord can repair itself.D. The nasal cells helped the spinal nerves to repair themselves.30. What made Professor Geoff Raisman believe the nervous system can be repaired?A. His study on animals.B. His operation on a paralysed patient.C. His sudden thoughts about Christmas.D. His unusual experience with a sick rat.31. David Nicholls’ words suggest that _____.A. the world is becoming better and brighterB. paralysed people have the hope of recoveryC. the report of the breakthrough will be published soonD. researchers across the globe will carry out the operationDThe Regional Director of the National Heritage Conservation Commission (国家遗产保护委员会) Kagosi Mwamulowe said the Barotse Plains is unique and it deserves to be on the list of the World Heritage Sites.Mr. Mwamulowe said the Barotse Plains deserves to be included on the World Heritage List because it has a rich cultural heritage which includes the burial sites of former kings.The Director said he hoped that the landscape would be declared as a heritage site next year in June. He also said it was important to protect Zambia’s unique culture for education and entertainment.Chief Natural Heritage Officer Muyumbwa Ndiyoi said there will be a lot of benefits when the Barotse Landscape is declared a World Heritage Site because it will attract many tourists and business investments (投资) will increase.Mr. Ndiyoi said the site will also benefit young people as knowledge will be passed down from generation to generation.He was reacting to a question from Nalolo District Labour Officer Jason Ngoma who wanted to know how the people of Western Province will benefit once the Barotse Landscape is declared a World Heritage Site.And University of Zambia Lecturer Charles Namate said there is a need for the site to be included on the World Heritage List because 50 years after its independence Zambia only has one heritage site, which is the Victoria Falls.Lecturer Namate said the Barotse Landscape was facing a lot of environmental degradation (恶化), and that’s why there is a need to recognize the value of its landscape and the memories of dead kings.The National Heritage Conservation Commission together with the Ministry of Chiefs and Traditional Affairs are in Western Province to hold meetings with Heads of Government Departments. The Commission also held closed-door meetings with the Litunga Lubosi Imwiko II of the Barotse Royal Establishment.32. What do we know about the Barotse Plains?A. It has royal tombs.B. It is being well protected.C. It is not far from the Victoria Falls.D. It’ll be listed as a World Heritage Site soon.33. Mr. Ndiyoi believes that if the Barotse Plains is declared a World Heritage Site, _____.A. it won’t benefit the people of Western ProvinceB. it will attract many foreign students and researchersC. it will contribute to the local economic developmentD. more people will start to learn about Zambia’s culture34. In the text, Lecturer Namate expressed his concern about _____.A. the future of the Barotse PlainsB. the development of Western ProvinceC. the development of tourism in ZambiaD. the environmental problems of the Barotse Plains35. What can we infer from the text?A. Zambia only has two World Heritage Sites.B. The Barotse Landscape has been partly destroyed.C. The Barotse Landscape issue is still being discussed.D. Young people in Zambia don’t know about Barotse culture.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。

AWelcome to Glass of Venice, the number one importer and retailer of authentic Murano Glass in the US and one of the top names among Murano Glass retailers worldwide. We work directly with artisans (工匠) from Murano, Italy to bring you the unique centuries old art rooted in tradition and skill. Every item is handcrafted with passion using ancient techniques that made Murano glassmakers world-famous since the 8th century. Now you needn’t make a trip to Murano to own an authentic piece of art as beautiful as Venice itself.At the time of mass-produced products that carry no special meaning, Murano Glass gives you an opportunity to express your individuality. Every piece is unique. Murano Glass is 100% handcrafted in Venice. Be a part of the centuries-old Venetian tradition!A piece of the artisan’s heart and soul is captured in every Murano Glass creation. Crafting Murano Glass jewelry, vases, sculptures and other functional and decorative pieces is a complicated process from silica, minerals, water, and fire. Venetian artisans create masterpieces. The techniques they use are centuries old, and artisans have beentrained for many years in their fathers’ and grandfathers, workshops before they can attain a revered status of the true master of the craft.Murano Glass masters are not just artisans; they are artists. Ever since Murano glassmakers guild (公会) was established on this Venetian island in 1291, they have been innovating, seeking new methods of creating glass, and pushing forward to express new philosophies and artistic visions through glass. This made Murano Glass get its own art form, and it has been recognized at international expositions and top art museums and galleries worldwide. Today the famous glass masters working on Murano Island are first and foremost artists, and Glass of Venice is proud to offer artistic masterpieces from top Murano glass workshops.21. What can be inferred about Murano Glass?A. It is made by using modern machines.B. Every piece is made in the US.C. Every piece has a special style.D. It was designed in the 8th century.22. The underlined word “revered” in Paragraph 4 is closest in meaning to “ ”.A. considerateB. relievedC. complexD. respected23. What were Murano Glass masters devoted to doing according to the text?A. Exploring ways to develop the creation of glass.B. Exporting Murano Glass to many foreign countries.C. Building art museums to show the beauty of Murano Glass.D. Creating a special art form to express their philosophies of life.24. What is the author’s attitude to Murano Glass masters’ works?A. Critical.B. Admirable.C. Cautious.D. Aggressive.BToday we think of Abraham Lincoln as a great leader. What most of us don’t know is that he was a well-known humorist and storyteller in his day.Lincoln learned to tell jokes and stories from his father. When Lincoln became a lawyer, he used his jokes and stories to gain the good will of the jury (陪审团), and more than once his opposing lawyer would complain to the judge that Lincoln’s stories were irrelevant and distracting (转移、分心) to the jury. The trouble for them was that Judge David Davis loved Lincoln’s jokes more than anyone else in the court room.As a politician, Lincoln made excellent use of his humorous stories. His long time political opponent Stephen A. Douglas complained that “Nothing else — not any of his arguments or any of his replies to my questions — disturbs me. But when he begins to tell a story, I feel that I am to be overmatched.” More than once Douglas and other political opponents of Lincoln’s saw their well presented arguments forgotten by the audience after Lincoln followed up their speeches with a homely story.As the responsibilities of the office of President became greater and heavier, Lincoln used humor to find relief. He wanted to reduce the stresses in himself and those around him. One of Lincoln’s neighbors told that one day, he saw Lincoln walking past with two young shouting boys. “What’s the matter, Mr. Lincoln?” the neighbor asked. “The same thing that’s the matter with the whole world,” Lincoln answered. “I have three walnuts, and each one of them wants two of them.”One cannot truly appreciate Lincoln without understanding his humorous side. He used his jokes and stories both for the purpose of winning over his audience and relieving the pressure he experienced as President during the terrible Civil War.25. When Lincoln was a lawyer, what was his purpose of telling jokes and stories?A. He wanted to satisfy the judge’s desire for jokes.B. He wanted to distract his opposing lawyer.C. He wanted to relieve his pressure.D. He wanted to impress the jury.26. What might be Douglas’ attitude towards Lincoln’s humorous stories?A. Appreciative.B. Annoyed.C. Concerned.D. Surprised.27. What’s the purpose of the text?A. To educate.B. To inform.C. To persuade.D. To entertainCImagine looking at something and being able to move it just by using your brain!That is exactly what the new technology called BrainGate can do —with the help of a robotic arm,anyway.BrainGate is the idea of Professor John Donoghue and his team of researchers at the Brown Institute for Brain Science,USA. BrainGate is attached directly to the brain. First of all,gold wires are put into the part of the brain that controls movement. These are then connected to a small computer chip(芯片) . When the person thinks about different movements,this creates electrical signals,which are picked up by the chip. After this,the signals that are created by the brain are sent back to a computer,which changes the signals into movements. Finally,the computer uses the robotic arm to carry out these movements. BrainGate can already be used to write an e-mail or play computer games,just by brain power.The technology has already cost millions of dollars to develop and when it is available for use,it will probably cost thousands of dollars per person. There are still many challenges ahead for Donoghue and his team. They are currently planning a mini wireless version,which will allow people to be connected to the computer at all times. Donoghue also dreams of using this technology to help disabled people who can'tmove their arms or legs. He plans to connect BrainGate directly to their own paralysed limbs(瘫痪的胳膊或腿) .This will mean that the person can control their own body again,without relying on a robotic arm.This research is attracting the military's (军方的) attention as well. However,it is easy to understand why scientists might be concerned about how thought-controlled machines could be used by the military.28. What does the underlined word “These” refer to?A. Movements.B. Thoughts.C. BrainsD. Wires.29. What is one of BrainGate's disadvantages?A. It needs improvement.B. It produces few movements.C. It is too expensive.D. It is difficult to control.30. How will Donoghue help disabled people?A. By developing a wireless version.B. By replacing their limbs with robotic ones.C. By making BrainGate smaller.D. By attaching BrainGate to their bad limbs.31. What does the military think of thought-controlled machines?A. They could lead to disasters.B. They would face fierce competition.C. They could be useful.D. They would be in mass production.DA new technology is going to ripe, one that could transform our daily lives, help to form new industries, even remove world economic powers from their presentpositions. Unlike the wave of industrialization that began in the West and spread later to the rest of the world, the new developments are taking place in research labs all over the globe—and Asians are in the forefront. Physicists are creating a new class of materials that display an amazing property unforeseen even two years ago—superconductivity (超导体技术).Used today only in specialized equipment, super conductors have the potential to radically change most of the electrical and electronic appliances found in the home, making them smaller, more powerful and efficient. They could free our cities of pollution by replacing petrol and diesel (柴油) vehicles with electric cars, and cut the cost of electricity. The new materials do something that even the best of conductors such as copper and silver cannot—they do away with all electrical resistance. The significances for energy storage are great.The technology is in its early stage, still accessible to countries that decide to invest brains and money. For 75 years it had remained little more than a scientific curiosity with limited practical use because the phenomenon occurred only at extremely low temperatures. It was first observed in 1911 by a Dutch scientist named Heike Kamerlingh Onnes, who cooled mercury (水银) to temperatures below -269℃ with liquid helium (氦). Then in January last year, two IBM scientists, K. Alex Muller and J. George Bednorz, found a metal oxide ceramic (氧化陶瓷) that superconducted at -243℃. Their report went largely unnoticed until last December, when it was confirmed at a scientific meeting in Boston. Today Japan, India, China and other Asian countries all have their share of experts who spend their days and nights in labs, actingas midwives (助产士) to a new technology.32. As is indicated in the passage, the technology of superconductivity ____________.A. has already been developedB. is still under developmentC. will be used only in specialized equipmentD. will be used in daily lives in a few years33. The new technology differs from the others in that ____________.A. it began in the East and spread later to the rest of the worldB. it began in the West and spread later to the rest of the worldC. it is being cultivated in research labs around the worldD. it is accessible to physicists who are intelligent and rich34. From the passage, we may conclude that ____________.A. Asian scientists gain the lead in the growth of the new technologyB. Dutch scientists kept reporting new findings for the last 75 yearsC. IBM scientists' report receive immediate attention all over the worldD. the West was astonished at the new technology developed by the Asians35. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?A. The Prospect of a New TechnologyB. Superconductivity: A New TechnologyC. A New Technology: The Key to Change the Way of Our LivesD. A New Technology: A Joint Effort of Many Countries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。

D.In a book review.BRecently, I’ve found an increasing number of coffee shops that don’t offer WiFi.I know what they’re trying to do.They want people to talk to each other without being consumed by technology.They want to stress the relational aspect of coffeeshops and would rather hear many voices having deep discussions than see keyboards or eyes staring at a cell phone.However, their good intentions are often mistaken by consumers, me included.One snowy day, a friend and I decided that it would be a great idea to go to a local coffee shop and get our work done there.We found a place that had unique coffee flavors and great reviews.It was a bit of a walk from where our subway dropped us off, but we thought it was worth it.We walked through the snow and my feet were almost frostbitten (冻伤的) because the boots I wore were not warm as I had originally assumed.About 10 minutes later, we found the coffee shop and our blue lips were eagerly looking forward to that warm drink.As we walked up to the door, we saw the sign, “No WiFi.” In anger, we looked at each other and said “Starbucks?”Of course, this was a loss for them.They lost our business and the chance to make their relationship building task a reality.People who come to coffee shops to work do come to be on their computers, but they also go there so they can still have human interaction (互动).They want to work around other people, not in a room by themselves.What’s more, even if the shops don’t have WiFi, people will still use their phones, unless all phone service is blocked out.So my friend and I spent the snowy day working together in the biggest chain coffee shop.We completed our task perfectly and that wasn’t the case in those coffee shops without WiFi.Therefore, there is no need to shut Wi-Fi to customers.With it, the shop will get more people and there’ll be more laughter and better relationships than before.Don’t make us go to Starbucks for our next snowy day.24.What is the purpose of many coffee shops’ shutting WiFi?A.To keep people drinking coffee quietly.B.To cut down the unnecessary expense.C.To get people to communicate face to face.D.To prevent people from disturbing others.25.What did the author and his friend plan to do on that snowy day?A.Walk back home from work.B.Finish their work at a coffee shop.C.Find a warm place to have a good rest.D.Express their anger to coffee shopkeepers.26.The author thinks the coffee shop’s practice is wrong beca use the shopkeeper .A.failed to block out all phone serviceB.didn’t communicate with customersC.didn’t offer computers to customersD.caused inconvenience to customers27.What’s the tone of the author’s writing this passage?A.Persuasive. B.Encouraging.C.Teasing. D.Praising.CAT&T started its “It Can Wait” campaign against texting while driving in2010.They call on all drivers to sign up for a 21-Day pledge (保证) — a pledge to not text and drive.Since then, research suggests there has been a connection between the campaign activities and a reduction in crashes.Almost half of the people who have made pledges say they now don’t use their smart phones while driving.However, AT&T has found that even though nearly 99 percent of drivers understand that texting while driving is dangerous, nearly 70 percent do it anyway.Some say they do it because they think they’re better at multitasking than others.Some say they only use their phones at red lights, or they only quickly glance at their phones som etimes.Others say they’re trying to stop, but believe that distracted (注意力不集中的) driving is even “addictive”.Over the years, we have found some effective ways to deal with distracted driving.One is to use user-friendly tools to help drivers resist the urge to glance at their phones while behind the wheel.Countless hands-free devices (装置) and Bluetooth speakers combined with a mobile app will, when active, automatically block incoming notifications sensing that the car is in motion.With the right devices, drivers can stay connected without taking their eyes off the road.The second way is really important.AT&T’s studies found that most smartphone users have a significant amount of their interactions with just five people.They also found that more than 80 percent of drivers said they would immediately stop using their phone while driving if a loved one or someone in their top friends list asked them to.We urge everyone to act on this information.Distracted driving is a bad habit, and bad habits are tough to break.But if wework together — and keep communicating our concerns with the people we love —we can make a difference.28.What can we infer about the “It Can Wait” campaign?A.It aims to end aggressive driving.B.It provides help for drivers in emergencies.C.It works well in reducing road accidents.D.It makes efforts to improve road conditions.29.Distracted driving is still at a high level because of .A.high pressure from daily lifeB.the side effects of drugsC.lack of strict traffic lawsD.dri vers’ attitude problems30.How do hands-free devices with an app help drivers?A.By reminding them to call later.B.By preventing the incoming calls.C.By telling callers to leave a message.D.By warning them of the possible danger.31.What suggestion is made to deal with distracted driving in Paragraph 4?A.Use the power of public opinion.B.Educate drivers to learn self-control.C.Communicate more with safe drivers.D.Let people close to drivers remind them.DShanghai leads the mainland in an international standardized (标准化的) test of English language level, according to the British Council’s white paper on mainland test takers’ IELTS performance.The white paper shows people on Chinese mainland have been making progress in their ability to listen, read, write and speak English in the past five years.People who took the IELTS Academic test showed the least progress in speaking English.The test takers’ total score from the fourpart test is below the world average, with the largest gap in the speaking test.The white paper also showed mixed development of English skills in various areas on the mainland.Shanghai, which achieved respective (分别的) average scores of 5.87 points and 5.95 points in the academic and training tests, led the mainland in the listening, speaking, reading and writing tests.Shanghai’s universities and high schools also had the best results.Barry O’Sulliva n, head of assessment research and development at the British Council, said Shanghai stood out against the other provinces because it is an international city, where students have a better environment and stronger motivation (动力) to learn and use English.The average score of Shanghai test takers in reading is higher than the world average, and their listening and writing scores are equal to the world average.But Shanghai test takers’ speaking score is not so good as the other three.The city’s Fudan Univers ity topped other universities on the mainland with the highest average IELTS scores. Fudan students’ reading, listening and writing scoresexceeded (超过) the world average but their speaking scores were below it.According to the white paper, all test takers said self-motivation was the most important factor for them, while those with IELTS scores higher than 7 points thought their high school teachers played an important role.The white paper also found that the English educators on the mainland who had mixed abilities in reading, writing, listening and speaking were weakest in speaking English. Chinese authorities are working to deal with these issues.For example, they have released the Chinese Standards of English which outlines English students’ abilities at nine levels.32.Which kind of ability of the mainland students needs to be improved urgently?A.The ability of listening.

AWhen you’re lying on the white sands of the Mexican Riviera,the stresses (压力) of the world seem a million miles away.Hey,stop!This is no vacation—you have to finish something!Here lies the problem for travel writer and food critic(评论家)Edie Jarolim,“I always loved travelling and always liked to eat,but it never occurred to me that I could make money doing both of those things,”Jarolim said.Now you can read her travel advice everywhere—in ArtsandAntiques,in Brides,or in one of her three books,The CompleteIdiot’sTravelGuideinMexico’sBeachResorts.Her job in travel writing began some eight years ago.After getting a PhD in English in Canada,she took a test for Frommer’s travel guides,passed it,and got the job.After working at Frommer’s,Jarolim worked for a while at Rough Guides in London,then Fodor’s,where she fell so in love with a descr iption of the Southwest of the U.S.that she moved there.Now as a travel writer,she spends one-third of her year on the road.The rest of the time is spent completing her tasks and writing reviews of restaurants at home in Tucson,Arizona.As adventurous as the job sounds,the hard part is fact-checking all the information.Sure,it’s great to write about a tourist attraction,but you’d better get the local(当地的)museum hours correct or you could really ruin someone’s vacation.1Which country does Jarolim live in now?A.Mexico.B.The U.S.C.The U.K.D.Canada.;并结合第四段最后一句“...athomeinTucson,Arizona”可知答案为B项。

It’s hard—the geese won’t sit still, and they really don’t like it when you try to fill them into a little bag. If you want life to be a little warmer, lighter and more comfortable, the Marmot is a far better choice than live geese, since it’s filled with pure goose down (绒毛) andhas a DW2R-treated (防水处理的) coating that’s as light, lasting, and packable as they come.The Marmot features lasting protection and comfort for sleeping in mild to extreme weather conditions. Frankly, any other cold-weather bags don’t come lighter than the Marmot. If 2.5 pounds seems like a lot to you, just remember that the cookies you ate for lunch yesterday probably weighed more than that, and wouldn’t keep you warm nearly as efficiently. The secret, aside from goose down, is its vertical flow baffle(垂直挡板) design, which keeps down in place and minimizes the efficiency of the bag, keeping you warmer. To prevent the Marmot losing all its heat-keeping power if it becomes wet, the down’s been treated with down defender, which helps it function well even in slightly wet circumstances.Whether you’re about to take on a trip to the desert or Pacific Northwest, count on Marmot to give you the three-season performance and comfort you design. Stay cozy on your next camping or hiking trip. Choose from our selection of sleeping bags that are perfect for your outdoor life.1.What is a Marmot?A.It’s a kind of geese.B.It’s a kind of down.C.It’s a kind of sleeping bag.D.It’s a kind of coating.2.What is used to prevent a Marmot losing its heat-keeping power?A.Down defender design.B.Pure goose down.C.A DW2R-treated coating.D.Vertical flow baffle design.3.Who’s the text written for?A.Geese keepers.B.Camping lovers.C.Marmot makers.D.Marmot sellers.4. What does the text mainly aim at?A.Preparing for a camp trip.B.Making a recommendation of Marmot.paring different kinds of sleeping bags.D.Teaching people how to make a sleeping bag.Ⅲ.写作第一节应用文写作假如你是李华,你在美国的朋友Mandy给你写了一封信征求意见。

Units 1—5综合测评(时间:100分钟分值:120分)选择题部分Ⅰ.阅读理解(共两节,满分35分)第一节(共10小题;每小题2.5分,满分25分)AI remember my mother as a strong woman. She came to America when she was 12—old enough to remember her language. She achieved scores and grades high enough to be admitted to Duke University. With a degree in computer science, she finally became the manager of a company in New York. My mother could give fluent speeches, and say “wolves” correctly.It was my mother who always stressed the importance of language. From the time I was born,I was read to. I would fall asleep to the sounds of my parents’voices, whether it was my dad’s softly accented, or my mother’s clear English. The flow of language was unbroken, and whether in Chinese or English, the stream of communication flowed through our house.One October morning in sixth grade, after my mother had left to catch the train to the city,I left the house for the bus stop. I was surprised when I saw our car, the door hanging open. As I drew closer, I saw my mother lying on the ground.In the hospital, it was hard to believe that the lady who lay before me was my mum. My mother could not remember my name. As the leaves changed colours, it became clear that the stroke had created a wall between my mother’s mind and mouth: her mind was not any less clear, but the words she spoke were not what she meant.The battle my mother faced taught me the importance of language. Without it, identity does not exist; relationships cannot be formed; stories cannot be told; directions cannot be given, and knowing anything about anyone is impossible. Without language, communication cannot take place. Without language, one cannot express the beauty of a sunset or the kindness of a stranger. The world would pass us by in silence.1. From the second paragraph, we can know.A.the author was taught to read since she was bornB.the author’s father spoke English poorlyC.the author couldn’t fall asleep without being read toD.the author’s parents taught her language by talking a lot2. According to the last two paragraphs, the author’s mum was unable to .A.think clearlyB.express herself wellC.speakD.open her mouth13. This passage is mainly about .A.a strong motherB.the importance of languageC.a family disasterD.the significance of teaching languageBStepinac has become one of the first high schools in the country to drop all textbooks and replace them with a “digital library”. When students started classes on Monday, they were zipping to an app on their tablets or laptops and had instant access to all 40 texts in the Stepinac curriculum(课程).Dennis Lauro, director of an information centre which provides technical support to public schools in New York, said neither he nor his colleagues were aware of a similar digital effort in a public school setting. “This is the wave of the future,” Lauro said. “I’m not surprised that a private school would beat the public schools to it. They have the ability to just do it. There is so much politics involved in public schools, when it comes to a move like that, needing approval from boards and committees.”For Tom Collins, Stepinac’s president, the commitment to digital source material was not so difficult a decision. In the past, students’families had to spend up to $ 700 a year on textbooks. This year—after the one-time purchase of a tablet or laptop—families only need to pay $ 150. Using the digital library is almost as easy as opening a new book. A student can instantly use a digital book and open a map of Egypt or a speech by President John F.Kennedy. A teacher can show a page from a digital book on a whiteboard at the front of the class or send students a link to a particular maths problem with notes added in.The first few weeks may bring some challenges. Stepinac officials expect some parental discomfort over dropping concrete books. They recognize there may be technical faults at first. And they will have to encourage students to leave space-eating photos and music off their tablets—and to keep their tablets charged.4.What is going on in Stepinac?A. It’s building a new library.B. It’s reforming its textbooks.C. It’s updating its digital resources.D. It’s changing its management pattern.5.By saying the underlined part, Lauro believes .A. public schools face great challengesB. private schools have their advantagesC. the effort is to cause instant changesD. it’s a trend for schools to go digital6.Who may worry about the move in Stepinac?2A. Officials.B. Technicians.C. Parents.D. Teachers.CMoney spent on advertising is money spent as well as any I know of. It serves directly to bringabout a rapid distribution(分发) of goods at reasonable prices, thereby(因此) setting up a firm home market and so making it possible to provide for export at good prices. By drawing attention to newideas it helps greatly to raise standards of living. By helping to increase demand it causes an increased need for labour, and is therefore a nice way to fight unemployment. It lowers the costs of many services: without advertisements your daily newspaper would cost four times as much, the price of your television programme would need to be doubled, and travel by bus or subway would cost more.And perhaps most important of all, advertising provides a promise of reasonable value in theproducts and services you buy. Besides the fact that twenty-seven acts of Parliament govern the terms of advertising, no regular advertiser dare promote a product that fails to live up to the promise of his advertisements. He might fool some people for a little while through misleading advertising. He will not do so for long, for the public has the good sense not to buy the poor article more than once. If you see an article frequently advertised, it is the proof I know that the article does what is promised for it, and that it has good value.Advertising does more for the good of the public than any other force I can think of.There is one more point I feel I ought to touch on. Recently I heard a well-known televisionperson declare that he was against advertising because it persuades rather than informs. He wastelling us the real difference. Of course advertising tries to persuade.If its message was nothing but information, it would be difficult to get more people to buy, for even a detail such as the choice of the colour of a shirt is a bit persuasive-advertising, and it would be so boring that no one would pay any attention. But perhaps that is what the well-known television person wants.7. By the first sentence of the passage the writer means that .A.he is fairly familiar with the cost of advertisingB.everybody knows well that advertising is a waste of moneyC.advertising costs more money than everything elseD.money spent on advertising is worthwhile8.In the passage, which of the following is NOT included in the advantages of advertising?A.Getting greater fame.B.Providing more jobs.C.Raising living standards.D.Reducing newspaper cost.9.The author thinks that the well-known TV person is .A.quite right in passing his judgment on advertisingB.interested in nothing but the buyer’s attentionC.correct in telling the difference between persuasion and informationD.obviously unfair in his views on advertising310.In the author’s opinion, .A.advertising can seldom bring material benefit to man by providing informationB.advertising informs people of new ideas rather than wins them overC.there is nothing wrong with advertising in persuading the buyerD.the buyer is not interested in getting information from an advertisement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。

选择题部分Ⅰ.阅读理解(共两节,满分35分)第一节(共10小题;每小题2.5分,满分25分)AIn the US state of Washington, a road called “Interstate 90” cuts through a wild, mountainous area to reach the city of Seattle. For the area’s many kinds of animals, the busy highway greatly limits their movements. Crossing I-90—as the road is called—is a risky but sometimes necessary act. But soon, animals will have a safer choice for crossing the road. They will be able to go above it.To help the animals, the state is finishing work on its largest-ever wildlife bridge. The 11-metre-tall, 20-metre-wide structure begins in the forest. It forms two arches above the highway, one for each direction of traffic. Workers are adding fencing and plants to help guide the animals across the bridge. Two-metre-thick walls will help block noise from vehicles below.The I-90 Bridge is part of a growing number of wildlife crossings across the United States. Some are fences, some are overland bridges, and some are underpasses. They all aim to keep drivers and animals away from each other. Collisions between animals and drivers are rarely deadly to people. But they are often deadly to wildlife. In Canada’s Banff National Park, studies have found that wildlife crossings reduce the area’s animal-driver collisions by 80 per cent.Most of the wildlife bridges are in western states. But experts have noted many other areas that have a need for such paths. Jen Watkins, whose organization has helped campaigns for animal crossings, says the fund for more crossings is “the number one barrier”.Patty Garvey-Darda of the US Forest Service has worked on the I-90 crossing from the start of the project. She says the $6 million bridge will one day pay for itself because the highway will not have to be fully or partly closed each time a large animal is struck. She said, “If you shut down Interstate 90, you shut down interstate commerce.”1.What is the purpose of building the bridge over “Interstate 90”?A. To reduce human deaths in crash with wildlife.B. To prevent wildlife from being struck by vehicles.C. To arouse public awareness of wildlife protection.D. To provide a safer choice to cross the risky road.2.According to Jen Watkins, what is the biggest challenge in crossing construction?A. Finding ways to help guide animals across the bridge.B. Collecting money to build more wildlife crossings.C. Locating areas to construct appropriate crossings.D. Encourage drivers to obey the regulations of traffic.3.What do the underlined words in Paragraph 5 imply?A. The bridge will prove to be well worth the high price.B. Expense for building such bridges will be reduced.C. The bridge will greatly promote trade and commerce.D. Lives saved through the bridge are definitely beyond price.BIf you’re looking at livable cities as inspiration for your holiday, you’ll miss out on many great tourist destinations. According to Mercer’s 2018 Quality of Living Survey, Moscow ranks 167 and Beijing only 119, yet both provide ample visitor pleasures. Meanwhile high-ranked cities such as Kobe (神户) or Seattle may be easy places to live in, but offer only passing interest to tourists. In truth, many of the world’s most livable cities are a little dull.The world isn’t rushing to visit Canberra or Montreal. In fact, none of the world’s 10 most visited cities appear in Mercer’s top 20. Clearly, considerations that create enjoyable holiday destinations differ from those that make cities fine places to live in.This should be no surprise, since livability lists aren’t concerned with tourists or even local residents but rather expats(侨民). Mercer, for example, is a US-based professional service firm whose lists supply multinationals with human resources information about where to locate their businesses. The success of foreign business is influenced by issues such as ease of travel and communication, personal safety, and access to public services, says Slagin Parakatil, who oversees Mercer’s research. In short, Mercer considers whether cities are attractive to business and investment, and have good schools, hospitals and housing while such factors seldom influence tourists.Still, Mercer’s Quality of Living Survey has its uses for tourists, since it also looks at natural and cultural environments and recreation. It ranks public transport and infrastructure(基础设施) particularly highly, a consideration shared by the World Economic Forum in reports on tourism and travel competitiveness. This includes hotels, rental cars and even ATM availability, all of which make a destination friendly to expats and visitors alike.4.What do we know about livable cities?A. They hardly offer tourists passing interest.B. They may not be good tourist destinations.C. They can arouse the inspiration of visitors.D. They are usually highly ranked by tourists.5.What is Mercer more concerned about when ranking livable cities?A. Tourist attractions.B. ATM availability.C. Business-friendliness.D. Local residents.6.Why does the writer use Mercer’s Quality of Living Survey?A. To make his view convincing.B. To compare those livable cities.C. To better understand the survey.D. To support the US-based firm.CIn her new book, The Smartest Kids in the World, Amanda Ripley, an investigative journalist, tells the story of Tom, a high school student from Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, who decides to spend his senior year in Warsaw, Poland. Poland is a surprising educational success story: in the past decade, the country raised students’test scores from significantly below average to well above it. Polish kids have now outscored(超过……分数) American kids in maths and science, even though Poland spends, on average, less than half as much on per student as the United States does. One of the most striking differences between the high school Tom attended in Gettysburg and the one he ends up at in Warsaw is that the latter has no football team, or, for that matter, teams of any kind.That American high schools waste more time and money on sports than on maths is an old complaint. This is not a matter of how any given student who plays sports does in school, but of the culture and its priorities. This December, when the latest Programme for International Student Assessment(PISA) results are announced, it’s safe to predict that American high school students will once again display their limited skills in maths and reading, outscored not just by students in Poland but also by students in places like Korea, Belgium, the Netherlands, Finland, Singapore, and Japan. Meanwhile, they will have played some very exciting football games, which will have been breathlessly written up in their hometown papers.Why does this situation continue? Well, for one thing, kids like it. And for another, according to Ripley, parents seem to like the arrangement, too. She describes a tour she took of a school in Washington D.C., which costs thirty thousand dollars a year. The tour leader—a mother with three children in the school—was asked about the school’s flaws(瑕疵). When she said that the maths programme was weak, none of the parents taking the tour reacted. When she said that the football programme was weak, the parents suddenly became concerned. “Really?” one of them asked worriedly, “What do you mean?”One of the ironies(讽刺) of the situation is that sports reveal what is possible. American kids’performance on the field shows just how well they can do when expectations are high. It’s too bad that their test scores show the same thing.7.The reason why Tom decides to spend his senior year in Poland is that .A.there are evident differences between the two countriesB.Polish kids are better at learningC.he plans to improve his scoresD.sports are not supported at schools in Gettysburg8.According to Paragraph 2, we know that .A.little time is spent on sports in Japanese schoolsB.too much importance is placed on sports in American high schoolsC.American high schools complain about sports timeD.PISA plays a very important role in America9.The underlined sentence in the last paragraph means .A.American students’academic performance worries their parents a lotB.high expectations push up American students’academic performancecking practice contributes to American students’average performanceD.low expectations result in American students’poor PISA performance10.What is the main purpose of this article?A.To push public attention to a weakness in American school tradition.B.To appeal to American schools to learn from the Polish model.C.To compare Polish schools with those in America.D.To explain what is the matter with American schools and provide solutions.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。

AIs It Bad to Cross Y our Legs When Y ou Sit?Crossing your legs is an extremely common habit; most people don’t even notice that they’re doing it when they sit down. While you may find it comfortable to sit with one knee crossed over the other, it might be causing health problems that you are not aware of.A study published in Blood Pressure Monitoring stated that sitting with your legs crossed can increase your blood pressure. The reason this happens is because the blood in your legs has to work against gravity to be pumped back to your heart, crossing one leg over the other increases resistance, making it even harder for the blood to circulate.This causes your body to increase your blood pressure to push the blood back to the heart. You won't feel any immediate effects, but if you sit for long periods of time it's important that you take note of how long you have your legs crossed for. You shouldn't have your legs crossed for more than 15 minutes, and it's important that you get up and walk around at least once every hour.Crossing your legs can also lead to neck and back pain. Ideally, it's best for our bodies to sit with our feet planted flat, hip width apart, on the floor, but it's not easy to maintain perfect posture all day at the office. When you sit with your legs crossed your hips are in a twisted position, which can cause one of your pelvic bones to rotate. Since your pelvic bone supports your neck and spine, this can cause pressure on your lower and middle back and neck.You also might notice that when you sit with your legs crossed for long periods of time your feet and legs get tingly or have the feeling of being asleep. This is because when one leg sits on top of the other it causes pressure on the veins and nerves in your legs and feet. It can cause numbness and/or temporary paralysis in the legs, ankles, or feet. While the feeling of discomfort may only last a minute or two, repeatedly crossing your legs until they feel numb can cause permanent nerve damage.So next time you sit down, try to get yourself in the habit of sitting with both of your feet on the floor. Not only will it help your posture and stability, but it will also save your health in the long run.21. According to para 2, we can infer that___________A. it's no big deal to cross our legs for less than 15 minutes.B. we will feel uncomfortable at the moment we cross the legs.C. we should take a walk every hour after sitting still.D. crossing legs while sitting makes it harder to circulate our blood.22. How many health problems can be caused by crossing legs according to the text?A. 2B. 3C. 4D. 523. Which of the following best shows the structure of the passage?A. ① B ① C. ① D. ①②③②③②③④②③④⑤④⑤⑤④⑤BColumbus Day has been on American calendars since 1937,when President Franklin D.Roosevelt declared October 12 a federal holiday to honor the Italian explorer who“discovered”the Americas in 1492.However,the holiday has always been controversial.Many people believe that Christopher Columbus should not be given credit for“discovering”the continent,since native Americans had already been living there for generations.Besides,the explorer,s mission was not a scientific“voyage of discovery”,but one intended to conquer the new land.Critics maintain that the Spanish army Columbus brought on his second voyage,caused the deaths of hundreds of thousands of indigenous(土著的)people.Those that survived the massacre became slaves,working in mines.Many,therefore,believe that the explorer's arrival should not be celebrated.In 1977,a delegation of Native nations at the International Conference on Discrimination Against Indigenous Populations in the Americas,proposed renaming the holiday to“Indigenous People’s Day”.The proposal passed with a majority.However,convincing the rest of the country to do the same was not that easy.Ittook 15 years before the city of Berkeley in California adopted the name in 1992 and then 22 more years before Minneapolis,MN and Seattle,W A did the same in 2014.The following year,eight more cities including Albuquerque,NM and Portland,OR,began celebrating the second Monday of October as“Indigenous People’s Day”. The movement really started to gain momentum in 2016 when 19 cities,including Boulder,CO and Phoenix,AZ,as well as the states of Minnesota and Vermont,a11 decided to rename the day to honor Native Americans.In 2017,21 more cities,including Austin,TX and Los Angeles,CA have made the shih.With the increasingly larger number of cities moving away from Columbus Day each year,it will be interesting to see if“Indigenous People’s Day”gets federal recognition.Meanwhile,it will continue to be the focal point of debates throughout the Americas.24.Which of the following is the best title of the passage?A.Indigenous People’s Day Has Got Federal Recognition after Years’Work B.Columbus Day Honoring the Italian Explorer Has Always Been Controversial C.Christopher Columbus Should Not Be Given Credit for Discovering Americas D.More Cities Have Replaced Columb us Day with Indigenous People’s Day 25.Many people don’t agree that________.A.Indigenous discovered the continentB.Columbus was a remarkable explorerC.Native Americans were abusedD.Columbus Day is a public holiday26.What can we infer from the second paragraph?A.Columbus was well received by indigenous people.B.The indigenous people hated the Columbus’arrival.C.The Spanish army rebelled against Columbus’rule.D.Few soldiers survived the attack by native Americans.27.Which of the following cities is the earliest to replace Columbus Day with Indigenous People’s Day?A.Portland.B.Phoenix.C.Seattle.D.Los Angeles.CRecently, Google announced that its voice-activated program, Google Assistant, will be offering a new feature called “Tell Me Something Good.” Users can now give that command and receive an earful of positive news stories. What’s more, the New York Times has a page online called “Fixes,” which focuses on what people are doing to fight social ills. As media researcher Karen McIntyre of Virginia Commonwealth University explains, these are all parts of a news movement called constructive journalism.Constructive journalism is different from “feel-good news,” like a fireman rescuing a cat. Instead, constructive journalism offers a more complete but appealing version of the news, says McIntyre. In her opinion, besides focusing on solutions, constructive journalism includes reporting on the historical and social setting of specific news incidents, using reliable data to look at longer-term trends, and avoiding interview techniques that create drama without increasing understanding.However, newspapers thrive on eyes on the page, and editors may be less interested in constructive journalism if they aren’t convinced that it’ll attract thei r readers. While McIntyre acknowledges those concerns, research has shown the opposite to be true. For example, one study found participants who read an online story that focused on approaches to poverty spent more time on the page than those reading a similar story without focusing on solutions.There is much we don’t know yet about how this kind of journalism affects behavior. The research is relatively young, though at least one of McIntyre’s studies showed an interesting result: people who read inspiring news stories were more willing afterwards to sign up for generous actions related to the story, such as donating money to support a cause from the story. Therefore, she argues, there’s a hunger for this type of news.28. Why are Google Assistant and Fixes mentioned in the first paragraph?A. To say how the news movement works.B. To stress the importance of positive news.C. To show what constructive journalism is.D. To lead in the topic of the whole text.29. Constructive journalism encourages stories that__________.A. inform people of big events.B. are solution-focused.C. focus on amazing you.D. are based on interesting facts.30. How should constructive journalism stories be written?A. In a serious way.B. In a humorous way.C. In a usual way.D. In an understandable way.31. What may be the problem with constructive journalism?A. That it isn’t appealing to readers.B. That it isn’t easy to collect and edit.C. That it a dds to some editors’ concerns.D. That it is unavailable to some readers.DCold weather during winter months may keep many people from leaving home and running in the open air.However, a new study shows that the drop in temperature is a good reason to run. In fact, researchers say, running in cold weather helps improve one's performance.Many people say running in the winter can be difficult. Two reasons are the low temperatures and bitter winds. Yet many runners might find it easier than running in hot weather.That could be because lower temperatures reduce stress on the body. When you run in cold weather, your heart rate and the body's dehydration (脱水) levels are lower than in warmer conditions. The body needs less water on a cold day than in warm weather.This information comes from sports scientists at St. Mary’s University in London. John Brewer is a professor of applied sport science at St. Mary’s.For this study, he and other researchers put a group of people into a room they called an “environmental chamber.” The researchers then recreated summer and winterweather conditions in the room. The test subjects were asked to run 10,000 meters under both conditions. Brewer says he and his team recorded biological measurements of the runners.“We've got a group of subjects into the environmental chamber, we've changed the conditions to replicate the summer or winter and we've got them to run a 10km under both of those conditions and taken various measurements on each runner while they've been completing their 10km.”Brewer says every movement runners make produces heat. He explains that one way in which we lose heat is by sweating. The body loses heat through droplets of sweat. He says the body also loses heat by transporting the blood to the surface of the skin. 32.What can we know about running in winter?A.It increases pressure of the body. B.It improves the function of body. C.It makes your heart rate higher. D.It needs more water than in summer. 33.What can we know about the research according to the text? A.Researchers interviewed the subjectsB.Subjects were asked to run in winter and summer.C.Subjects built the “environmental chamber”.D.Biological measurements of the runners were recorded.34.Which of the following can replace the under lined word “replicate” in Paragraph 7?A.Combine. B.Remember. C.Copy. D.Decorate. 35.What’s the best title for the passage?A.Environmental ChamberB.The Way of Losing HeatC.Running in Cold Weather Improves PerformanceD.Biological Measurements of the Runners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。

It all started three years ago, when Campbell asked his parents if they could buy Christmas presents for kids in hospital. They were touched by his kindness, but told him that buying so many toys would be too costly. He is one of nine children, and buying presents for all of them was already a pretty expensive affair for the parents.Campbell didn’t let a simple “no” discourage him from bringing a bit of joy to kids going through tough times, so he decided to make the presents himself. It took the 9-year-old boy five hours to create his first stuffed (填充的) toy. However after three years of practice, he is now able to put one together in just an hour.“I was blown away by the first bear,” his mother said. “Overly impressed but not surprised at his determination to teach himself.” The successful experiment only inspired Campbell Remess to become better at sewing, and challenged himself to create one stuffed toy per day and donate them to sick children struggling in the hospital. Project 365 by Campbell was born. Over the last three years, CampbellRemess has created over 800 stuffed toys for sick children.Campbell sends his toys to children all over the world, and still visits the Royal Hobart Hospital in his home city of Hobart, Tasmania, to personally gift toy animals to sick kids there and loves to see the reaction on their faces. “They smile and some hug me. It makes their whole day better,” he says.“Campbell is just wired really differently. He looks at sadness and tries to turn it upside down,” his mother says. “He’s not a quitter—I only see bigger and brighter things for him.”25. Why did Campbell’s parents refuse his request?A. They thought that was ridiculous.B. They wished him to depend on himself.C. They were on a tight budget.D. They hoped he could share his things with others.26. What desire drove Campbell to make toys for sick children?A. Bringing happiness to them.B. Showing kindness to them.C. Encouraging them to treasure health.D. Proving to them everyone has creativity.27. What can we learn about Campbell from the text?A. He is planning to set up Project 365.B. He sends toys to those who can’t afford one.C. He made the first toy with his mother’s help.D. He is determined and refuses to give up.CIt is quite apparent that competition surrounds every aspect of human life whether in the United States or the Amazon Rain Forest. Without it we would not have grown into primates (灵长类动物). Or we would probably still be struggling to sharpen a bronze tool while crawling around on four legs in search of meat. Without competition, Columbus wouldn’t have discovered America and Edison would never have invented the light bulb.Friendship, like all relationship between two people, involves competition. It isn’t competition in a traditional sense because there are no goals to be scored and no prize. Perhaps the ecological definition — the simultaneous (同时的) demand by two or more organisms for limited environmental resources, such as nutrients, living space, or light — better explain it.As in nature, high school life is governed by a set of laws, similar to a shortened version of Darwin’s theory of evolution, overpopulation, and competition. There is an abundance of high school students and to distinguish them, ranking and categorizing (分类) take place. In high school, friendships learn to co-exist with competition even though at times the relationship is rough. In fact, in some circumstances, competition is too much of a burden for a friendship to bear, causing it to fall apart. College admission is the final high school objective. Four years of hard work is to achieve good grades, and a student’s fate is determined not only by these achievements, but by the records of thousands of other seniors trying to achieve a similar recognition.Nevertheless, by necessity, competition between students exists in all aspects of high school life.
