These crashing walls of water are born for surfing and offer one of the best free shows on the islands. The North Shore is home to world-class surf cont ests, attracting the world’s top surfers.Polynesian Cultural CenterNothing appeals to the whole family like Hawaiian past coming alive. Besides, the colorful costumes, lively songs, and traditional dances in the Pacific region are presented here. You’ll see customs of Fiji, New Zealand, Marquesas, Samoa, Tahiti, Tonga, and Hawaii all represented in Polynesian Cultural Center’s re-created island villages, which is decorated with palm trees and tropical gardens.Waimea Canyon(峡谷) State ParkMore than 3,500 feet deep, this landmark on Hawaii’s island of Kauai is the largest canyon in the Pacific.

But when 13-year-old Emmie Tallent whohas Down syndrome(唐氏综合征) didn’t make her school’s cheer squad(啦啦队), she responded in the most impressive way — she cheered anyway. Emmie Tallent, a girl with firm determination, took to the sidelines while her school’s cheer squad performed. She matched the entire routine, moving for moving, in a black dress and tie-dyed shoes.Her sister, Sydnee, recorded this moment on video, and it’s now capturing hearts worldwide. The video, with over 3 million views and 87,000 likes, shows Emmie facing the official squad and performing the routine alongside them. Her performance is nothing short of inspiring. “Girl didn’t make the cheer team, but she didn’t care,” Sydnee wrote, admiring Emmie’s confidence.“E m mie may not be on the cheer team this time, but I’m s ure her talent and spirit will shine through somewhere in the future,” Sydnee said with a smile. “Right now, she’s satisfied and happy doing what she loves. Thank you all for supporting her. I want to show the world Emmie’s joy from pursuing what she likes and the beauty of diversity.”The team did not have a lot of spots and even neurotypical(神经正常的) girls who were much better than Emmie didn’t make it to join it. Emmie’s school was giving Emmie help and kept encouraging her, but there are hard decisions that have to be made sometimes. Though Emmie didn’t make the squad, she wasn’t feeling upset at home, and continued to follow cheer squad’s routines and moves to please herself and spread joy to others, even if from th e sidelines.In the face of rejection, this tough 13-year-old chose to dance rather than sit by and let it define her, inspiring us all to embrace our uniqueness and find joy in every moment.24.

They satisfied her need.C. They made an excuse.D. They offered her support.27. What does the author mainly intend to tell us?A. Believe in ourselves.B. Prepare for the worst.C.

She was suffering from chlamydia(衣原体病), a disease widespread among koalas. Today, she is one of “the lucky” living creatures in tree corridors(走廊) that have been created by volunteers to protect koalas and other animals by saving their quickly shrinking habitats, or natural environment.The corridors, planted by the local conservation group Bangalow Koalas, are made up of large systems of plants. They are intended for koalas and other animals like the glossy black cockatoos, possums, and wallabies. All of them are endangered, or at risk of becoming extinct. The corridors provide a safe path across the koala’s increasingly broken habitat. “Our corridors are actually trying to get them away from humans, from cars and from dogs,” said Linda Sparrow, president o f Bangalow Koalas. “They can safely move across the landscapes and don’t have to put up with us humans.”The koala is predicted to be extinct in the wild in New South Wales by 2050. Some of the biggest dangers include wildfires and habitat loss through land clearing for development. Koalas have already been declared endangered in several Australian states. A recent report by the Australian Koala Foundation said the animal was worth an estimated $3.2 billion per year to the tourism industry.Founded in 2016, Bangalow Koalas has planted over 936,000 trees on 119 properties, helping koala conservation and improving the local ecosystem. The group, which depends on community volunteers, aims to plant 500,000 trees by 2025. V olunteer Lindy Stacker, who has been planting trees for over five years, still remains devoted to the cause. She said the activity is good for mental health and has brought the community together. “I can’t imagine a world where there’s no koalas in the wild. We’re going to do everything we can possibly to make sure that won’t happen,” Lindy said.28. Who is Lucy?A. A farmer.B. A patient.C. A koala.D. A volunteer.29. What are the tree corridors intended to do?A. To shelter koalas from human threat.B. To test the local natural environment.C. To save koalas suffering from chlamydia.D. To stop koalas’ habitats from being rebuilt.30. What does the author want to show in paragraph 3?A. The reason for koa las’ extinction.B. Koalas’ value in tourism industry.C. People’s deep love for k oalas.D. The necessity of saving koalas.31. What can be the best title for the text?A. Bangalow Koalas: A Group Intended For KoalasB. Tree Corridors: A Lifeline For Endangered KoalasC. Bangalow Koalas: Call On V olunteers For Koalas’ ProtectionD. Tree Corridors: Responsible For The Loss Of Koalas’ HabitatsDDeep sleep doesn’t just rest your body. Scientists believe it’s also when the brain washes away toxins(毒素), with a new project looking at whether the brain’s self-clean can be boosted.South Australian Health and Medical Research Institute (SAHMRI) neuroscientist Dr Tim Sargeant has teamed with D r Edward Robins from SAHMRI’s Molecular Imaging and Therapy Research Unit to develop a brain scan that shows how well a brain is cleaning itself. Studies have shown that a clean brain would help with memory while fighting dementia(痴呆).Scientists believe our brains clean themselves out each night when we enter deep sleep. Cerebrospinal fluid(脑脊液) is thought to wash through the brain, cleaning out toxins. Studies have shown a clear link between poor memory and toxins like the buildup of sticky plaques(黏性斑块) in the brains. Scientists believe brains that have a buildup of this plaque over time may not be cleaning themselves properly, putting people at risk of dementia.Fortunately, the hope is that a clean brain would help with memory while fighting dementia. The brain scan will use special material to track how well the brain can keep itself clean and healthy through the process of removing and recycling its waste. “We’re aiming to catch the signs of the brain struggling to keep itself clean in individuals around the age of 50 or 60, well before the onset of Alzheimer’s dis ease(老年痴呆) in most people,” Dr Sargeant said.This new scan, an exciting imaging technology, will allow scientists to form a picture of a living brain and watch how it’s recycling wasting material in real time. “The scan takes out a lot of the guess work, by allowing scientists to see with their own eyes if they’ve hit the target or not,” Dr Robins said. “Without imaging, a researcher can get all the way up to the trial st age before realising they’r e at a dead end.”32. What is the aim of Dr Sargeant and Dr Robins’ developing the brain scan?A. To help people enter deep sleep.B. To reduce memory loss and dementia.C. To research how to remove sticky plaques.D. To study what the brain uses to clean itself.33. What may cause dementia according to the text?A. Not enough blood in the brain.B. Too frequent cleaning of the brain.C. The increase of cerebrospinal fluid.D. The gradual increase of sticky plaques.34. What does the underlined word “onset” in paragraph 4 mean?A. Worsening.B. Improvement.C. Beginning.D. Disappearance.35. What does Dr Robins think of the brain scan?A. It is quite effective.B. It is just imaginary.C. It brings more work.D. It is far from exact.第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

Through camping, children can discover new things about nature, such as flowers, birds, and other small animals. Camping gives kids time to get away from all the electronics of today's culture. So it's necessary to plan exciting and enjoyable family camping trips with your children while they're young.When planning your family camping trip, consider the activities your kids like: games, hiking, swimming, boating, bicycling, etc. Select a camping place that has some of the activities the kids are interested in. Meal planning is an important part of your camping trip. Plan the meals together, and kids love to choose what they want to eat.When starting to pack for your trip, let the kids pack their own things. Each person should have his or her own sleeping bag with a luggage bag to put it in. Personal items should be packed with their sleeping bags. Encourage the kids to put their things in a certain place and always return it when they have finished using it.When you've arrived at your campsite, make all the camping activities a family activity, which will help children to realize how important teamwork is. Everyone can have his/her own job sitting up the campsite. Meal time can be a fun time. So let the older ones help with the cooking on your outdoor camping stove while the younger ones get the picnic table ready.1. Which of the following is the best place for a family camping?A. A place covered with forests.B. A place where kids can find various foods they like.C. A place which provides many interesting activities.D. A place with a river and wild animals.2. What does the author advise parents to do while planning a family camping trip?A. Let the children learn by watching.B. Encourage the children to take care of their own things.C. Take more food to meet the children's need.D. Keep the children away from animals.3. When at the campsite, it is necessary to___________.A. allow the children to cookB. give children enough time to playC. make everyone have work to doD. keep the picnic table full of foodCWhen you purchase fresh-cut flowers, do you think about where they came from? It might make sense to think they were grown somewhere nearby. The reality, though, is that the cut flower trade is increasingly international. Today, thanks to airplanes and high-tech cooling systems, eventhe most delicate flower can be exported, and sold in a florist thousands of kilometers away from where it was grown.The country that dominates the world cut flower trade is the Netherlands. It handles about 60 percent of the world’s cut flowers. The Netherlands is also a world leader in developing new flower varieties. Dutch companies and the government invest a considerable amount of money in flower research. Their scientists look for ways to lengthen a flower’s vase life, to strengthen flowers to prevent them from being damaged while traveling, and also to strengthen the natural fragrance of the flowers.Despite the Netherlands’ dominance of the flower market, there are many places with a better climate for growing flowers, and the climate of Ecuador is almost perfect. Mauricio Davalos is the man responsible for starting Ecuador’s flower industry. “Our biggest edge is nature,” he claims. “Our roses are the best in the world.” Every year, Ecuador sells about 500 million flowers to the U.S. alone. The industry has brought employment opportunities and a stronger economy to regions of the country. “My family has TV now. There are radios,” says Yolanda Quishpe, 20, who picked roses for four years.To others, the increasingly international nature of the flower trade is very bad news. In recent years, local growers in the U.S. faced huge competition from international flower companies, and many lost their businesses, Lina Hale, an independent rose grower in California, said her father had predicted the situation. “I see a freight train coming down the track,” he warned her, “and it’s coming straight towards us.”1. What is the main idea of the first paragraph?A. Cut flowers can survive a long trip.B. You should buy flowers from local florists.C. Flowers you buy come from far away places.D. Few thinks about where they buy your flowers.2. Which of the following are mentioned as large investors in flower research?A. Dutch companies and the governmentB. airplane and high-tech cooling companiesC. Ecuador’s local flower growers and pickersD. American businessmen and their government3.The underlined word in paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to _________.A. endB. advantageC. challengeD. difference4. What did Lina Hale’s father mean when he said, “I see a freight train coming down the track and it’s coming straight toward us.”?A. He could predict a train was soon to arrive.B. He knew his business would be threatened.C. He thought customers wouldn’t want roses.D. He thought trains were the new way to move flowers.第二节(共5个小题；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。

On May 18.2、 B At a clinic in Waterloo, Ontario, an elderly woman sat on the edge of a waiting room chair belting out the Celine Dion's tune My Heart Will Go On. With little effort, she was able to send her sweet, high-pitched voice to every comer of the elinic. I had fun watching how people reacted. There was some shifting in seats, but mainly they turned away their eyes in embarrassment and tried to pretend there was nothing unusual. I was there with my father, who was getting a routine blood test when the woman arrived. She tooka seat directly across from my dad. I was concerned about how my dad would react to the possible interaction on his ce. He was 77 and had been living with Alzheimer's for several years. He was a brilliant man of few words in public. When he was healthy, he considered it bad manners to bring more attention to oneself. Her singing began gently, like a quiet hum. I glanced over at Dad. His smile was gone, and he was staring right at her. It seemed to be something like confusion. This wasn't an unusual state for him, and I wondered whether he was actually seeing her at all or if he was lost somewhere deep in his mind, not really aware of her singing at that point. Her singing slowly got louder. By the time she got to the chorus-"near, far, wherever you are…", Dad looked a little surprised. Still, I watched for any sign of an angry outburst. Instead, his face softened, and the tension eased in his brow. He no longer looked confused. People say that Alzheimer's is a thief, and that it steals your loved ones slowly, day by day. There is so much heartbreaking truth in that statement. But certain experiences with my dad have allowed me to see a side of him that I never knew existed. That's what happened for me that day in the clinic. When her song ended, the woman opened her eyes. My dad was still looking directly at her. "That was beautiful, " he said. And she smiled and said, "Thank you."(1) How did people react to the elderly woman's singing at the clinic?A. They mainly looked away and ignored her.B.

His father preferred silence in public places.(3) As the woman's singing got louder, the author's father's expression ___.A. remained the sameB. became more angryC. softened and relaxedD. showed more confusion(4) What can we learn from the last paragraph?A. I got to know that my father liked music.B. Alzheimer's steals many things from old people.C. This song helped me understand more about my father.D. Everyone with Alzheimer's has experienced some bad moments.3、 C Parenting styles have shifted over the years with the rapid changes in the world. Nowadays parents generally spend more time in finding out how best to raise their child whether it's through technology or tried-and-tested parenting practices. With easy access to countless websites and social media groups interested in parenting, modern parents are capable of finding answers to their questions, from managing a baby's cries to communicating with a moody teenager. This increased availability （可利用性） of resources has made parents more involved in their children's academic, emotional, and social development. They are also more eager to find out effective parenting methods to help them raise well-behaved and confident children. A modern parenting style that has appeared is helicopter parenting, where parents are too much focused on their children. They help children with tasks that children can do on their own, like selecting activities and friends for them, or calling their teachers about homework matters. Such a parenting style can stifle the development of the children's ability to handle responsibilities independently. Children might be ill-equipped with life skills such as making the bed, clearing their plates or doing their schoolwork. Always protecting children from failures may also stop them from developing adaptability and gaining skills like problem-solving On the other hand, parents in the past tended to monitor less. Children were given more freedom to advice from their parents and neighbours, rather than by social media influences or parenting websites. manage their schoolwork and choose the friends they want to play with. In some families, children of the past were often expected to shoulder the responsibilities of caring for younger brothers and sisters and managing housework. Living in the pre-Internet era, parents were less informed about different parenting methods, and their parenting styles were guided more by their personalities, common sense and friendly There is no one right way to raise a child. Each child is unique and should be raised differently by parents who are present, but not wandering, who are supportive but not controlling, and who protect but not care too much.(1) How does the increased availability of resources influence parenting style?A. It saves parents' much time spent on children.B. It makes parents more relaxed in raising children.C. It encourages parents to be less strict with their children.D. It enables parents to be more active in their children's development.(2) What does the underlined word TAL#NBSPstiflein Para 3 mean?A. Bring about.B. Hold backC. Take down.D. Set up.(3) What do we know about parents in the past?A. They educated kids in a strict way.B. They over-judged their kids' independence.C. They afforded kids more ce for self-growth.D. They tended to stay away from social activities.(4) What does the text mainly tell us?A. How parents raise all-round children.B. How people improve parent-child relationship.C. How parenting modes have changed over the years.D. How information technology affects people's lifestyles.4、 D Back in the early 2000s, lots of people couldn't imagine life without alarm clocks, CD players, calendars, cameras, or lots of other devices. But along came the iPhone and other smartphones, and they took over the functions of many things that we used to think were completely necessary. The success of smartphones can be a model for dealing with climate change because they represent a different approach to design, which is to focus on function rather than form. This approach requires concentrating on understanding the problems, and then engineering a wide range of potential solutions. By adopting this mindset, we can completely change our thinking about energy efficiency （效率）. Traditionally, improvements in energy efficiency have mostly been centered on individual devices, which can be quite fruitful. But focusing on individual devices is like if Apple had spent effort inventing a better alarm clock, a better CD player, a better calendar, and a better camera. Now with an iPhone, we don't need the standalone （独立运行的） devices at all, because it can function as all of them. So when it comes to energy efficiency, instead of only installing more efficient heaters, we should focus on the desired function: warmth. Through creative designs like coating(给……涂层) our house, we can get rid of the need for heaters, significantly saving nearly 99% energy. Similarly, rather than merely tocusing on making cars more efficient, we should consider the desiredl function—transportation. By developing an efficient transportation system that reduces the need for private cars, we can achieve greater energy savings. The most energy-efficient car or heater is no car, or no heater, while still being able to get around and stay warm. In other words, it's not thinking efficiently, but thinking differently.(1) What makes the iPhone a good example of environmental protection?A. Choosing a simplest design.B. Combining possible functions.C. Perfecting individual instruments.D. Reducing the energy consumption.(2) According to the passage, what is the most important part of improving energy efficiency?A. Improving technologies.B. Using recyclable materials.C. Figuring out various solutions.D. Concentrating on the necessary needs.(3) What does the author think of traditional practices in energy improvements?A. Inefficient.B. ClassicalC. Useless.D. Perfect.(4) Which can be the best title of the passage?A. Think out of the box.B. Differences make it unique.C. Be economical with energyD. Step out of the comfort zone.二、七选五5、 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。

Get chewing: can a wellness rebrand make Americans buy gum again?When was the last time you saw someone chewing gum? 1998, maybe? 2007? Chances are, it probably wasn’t recently. Like high heels and affordable housing, chewing gum appears to be going 42Gum’s popularity has been fading globally thanks to increased competition from products like breath mints and mobile phones distracting us from impulse purchases while shopping. The pandemic, moreover,43 ·accelerated gum’s decline.Even after people 44 from lockdown, sales didn’t recover. Gum sales worldwide in 2023 were 10% below 2018 figures. In the US, the drop has been particularly pronounced: last year 1.2 billion units of gum were sold in the US, 32% fewer than in 2018.However, chewing gum, in various forms, is one of the oldest habits there is. Stone age teenagers were chewing birch bar k tar possibly for pleasure, medicinal purposes, or to use it as a glue. Gum has also been loaded with cultural meaning and the subject of various 45 panics. Some people believe it is a marker of the bad kidsor a habit of the lower class.Despite a certain amount of social stigma（污名）attached to gum, it has - until relatively recently -been a wildly successful product. That’s thanks to William Wrigley Jr, who was a marketing and advertising genius. Wrigley always 46 to find a way to make gum relevant and insert it into consumer culture. For example, Wrigley advertised the idea that chewing gum was a health aid that would help digestion and would relieve stress.This year the Wrigley brand’s owner —Mars— came out with an ad campaign it hopes will revive gum’s47 by positioning it as an almost instant stress reliever. Linking gum with wellness worked in the 1910s, but is it going to work now? Alex Hayes at the food consultancy is 48 optimistic. “The global well ness market is estimated to be worth more than $1.5 trillion, so it’s no surprise that Mars wants a piece of the pie,” Hayes says. “We’ve seen the success of categories such as tea promoting their products via functional 49 and messaging-teas for good sleep, mental clarity, stress relief, etc. So it comes as no surprise that Mars is risking the same 50 .” But he also notes, customers are increasingly worried about processed foods and are eager to move away from artificial 51 . There’s still ongoing discussion on just how effective repositioning chewable plastic as a health supplement is going to be.Ⅲ．Reading ComprehensionSection A ClozeDirections: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.It’s safe to say Jeremy Scott is having a lucky year. In March while working as a chauffeur, he told his boss about his plans to set up a driving business. By the end of the journey, Scott’s boss had offered to 52 his idea-a starting capital along with the gift of a £110,000 limousine（豪车）to kick start the business.Of course, there’s an element of luck to everyone’s career. Whether you’re a chief executive or an artist — your 53 won’t be based on hard work alone. For example, the place you were born 54 your education. It determines whether you learn to read, write or complete qualifications, which 55 limits your career choices.Many people believe success is down to talent and hard work, but “this is because most people underestimate the role of 56 ”, says psychologist Dr Elizabeth Nutt Williams. “We do a lot of work to prepare for our careers-education, training, taking advantage of mentoring-all of which tend to be in our control.” People don’t like to acknowledge the role of luck in their work, as it 57 this feeling of being in control, adds Williams.Everyone remembers working hard, so people are more likely to overestimate how much of their success is down to diligence than something much more 58 like luck.The reality of success （at least in terms of 59 ）is less clear cut. In the UK, studies show where you are born is likely to determine how much you earn.2017 research found that there is a “class pay gap’’, where professional employers from 60 backgrounds are paid almost £7,000 less a year — despite having the same role, education and experience as colleagues from more privileged families. 61 , black graduates earn up to 23% less per hour than white university leavers, whereas woman in the UK earn 14% less on average than men.Socio-economic status also plays a big role in the 62 you enter. A recent study by the Debrett’s Foundation found seven in every 10 young people aged 16-25 use 63 to get their first job. While research hasshown that less able, richer children are 35% more likely to become high earners than their brighter. poorer peers.The truth is: chance and coincidences 64 our careers more than we like to think. Realizing that parts of your career are out of your control sounds 65 , but being grateful for the role of luck in your career can actually make you more fortunate.This is because when you acknowledge the role of luck in your work, you become prepared to take advantage of more fortunate moments. “Chance events occur·but it is all about the individual’s 66 to see those events as possibilities and their willingness to take a risk,” says Williams.52．A．challenge B．adopt C．finance D．reject 53．A．performances B．accomplishments C．assessments D．outcomes 54．A．accounts for B．applies to C．makes up for D．depends on 55．A．in reward B．after all C．in turn D．by nature 56．A．chance B．accident C．education D．diligence 57．A．emphasizes B．overlooks C．maintains D．weakens 58．A．manageable B．vital C．slippery D．minor 59．A．reputation B．income C．education D．occupation 60．A．wealthier B．poorer C．unique D．diverse 61．A．Nevertheless B．Contrarily C．Consequently D．Similarly 62．A．profession B．circle C．community D．university 63．A．certificates B．online platforms C．career fairs D．family connections 64．A．contribute to B．result from C．add to D．hold back 65．A．inspiring B．encouraging C．appealing D．discouraging 66．A．reluctance B．eagerness C．readiness D．resolutionSection B Passages（A）When you think about coffee alternatives, garlic is probably one of the last things that comes to mind, but that is exactly the ingredient that one Japanese inventor used to create a drink that looks and tastes like coffee.74-year-old Yokitomo Shimotai, a coffee shop owner in Aomori Prefecture, Japan, claims that his unique “garlic coffee” is the result of a cooking blunder he made over 30 years ago, when he burned a steak and garlic while waiting tables at the same time. Intrigued by the burnt garlic’s smell, he mashed it up with a spoon and mixed it with hot water. The resulting drink looked and tasted a lot like coffee. Making a mental note of his discovery, Yokimoto carried on with his job and only started researching garlic coffee again after he retired.Committed to turning his weird drink into a commercial product, Yokitomo Shimotai spent years optimizing the formula, and about five years ago, he finally achieved a result he was satisfied with. To make his dissolvable garlic grounds, he roasts the cloves（蒜瓣）in an electric oven, and after they’ve cooled off, smashes them into fine particles and packs them in dripbags.“My drink is probably the world’s first of its kind,” the garlic coffee inventor told Kyodo News. “It contains no caffeine so it’s good for those who would like to drink coffee at night or pregnant women.”“The bitterness of burned garlic apparently helps create the coffee-like flavor,” Shimotai adds. He claims that,although his garlic coffee does give off an aroma of roasted garlic, it doesn’t cause bad breath, because the garlic is thoroughly cooked. And if you can get past the smell, the drink apparently does taste a lot like actual coffee. If decaf isn’t good enough for you, and you’re in the mood for something new, you can try Yokitomo Shimotai’s garlic coffee at his shop, in the city of Ninohc, lwate Prefecture, or buy your own dripbags for just 324 yen （$2.8）.67．Which word is the closest in meaning to the underlined word “blunder” in the second paragraph?A mistake B．show C．mixture D．brand68．Who is NOT suitable to drink garlic coffee?A．A student having trouble with sleep B．A woman bearing a baby.C．A cleaner working on a day shift.D．A young lady sick of garlic.69．Which of the following is NOT characteristic of garlic coffee?A．It is caffeine-free.B．Garlic powder dissolves in waterC．The burnt garlic create s bitterness.D．It is an improvement on a garlic dish. 70．Which of the following can be used to describe Yokitomo Shimotai?A．Venturous and greedy B．Innovative and perseverantC．Hardworking and cautious D．Observant and helpful（B）71．By “how they stacked up” in paragraph 1, the author probably means “how they ______.”A．make sense to manufacturers B．get stuck in storesC are compared with each other D．are piled up together72．Which of the following devices favourably reacts to users?A．Dreampad pillow B．Eight sleep trackerC．Smart Nora Wireless Snoring Solution D．Nightingale Smart Home Sleep System 73．Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?A．The Eight keeps the entire bed at the same temperature.B．The Nightinga, is an economical but perfect device.C．Soft music is applied to all these four devices.D．One in three people suffer from sleep problem.（C）One way to divide up the world is between people who like to explore new possibilities and those who stick to the tried and true. In fact, the tension between betting on a sure thing and taking a chance that something unexpected and wonderful might happen troubles human and nonhuman animals alike.Take songbirds, for example. The half-dozen finches（雀）resting at my desk feeder all summer know exactly what they’ll find there: black sunflower seed, and lots of it. Meanwhile, the warblers（莺）exploring the woods nearby don’t depend on this predictable food source in fine weather. As food hunters, they enjoy less exposure to predators and, as a bonus, the chance to meet the perfect mate flying from tree to tree.This “explore-exploit” trade-off（权衡）has prompted scores of lab studies, computer simulations and algorithms（算法）, trying to determine which strategy brings in the greatest reward. Now a new study of human behavior in the real world, published last month in the journal Nature Communications, shows that in good times, there isn’t much of a difference between pursuing novelty and sticking to the status quo（原状）. When the going gets tough. however, explorers are the winners.The new study, led by Shay O’Farrell and James Sanchirico, both of the University of California, Davis, along with Orr Spiegel of Tel Aviv University, examined the routes and results of nearly 2,500 commercial fishing trips in the Gulf of Mexico over a period of 2.5 years. The study focused on “bottom longline” fishing, a system where hundreds of lines are attached to a horizontal bar that is then lowered to reach the sea bed. Dr. O’Farrell explained the procedure this way: Go to a location and put the line down. Stay for a few hours. The lines are a mile long and have a buoy （浮标）at either end. When they pull that up, they assess the catch, and then decide if they will stay or move on to a different spot.Over two years of collecting data under various climate conditions, the researchers discovered that thefishermen were fairly consistent. “The exploiters would go to a smaller set of locations over and over, and go with what they know,” Dr. O’Farrell said. The explorers would constantly try a wider range; they’d sample new places.In the long run, there wasn’t a huge difference in payoffs between the two groups, perhaps due to the sharing information between fishing crews, said Dr. O’Farrell. But in challenging times, the study’s message was clear: “You can try new things in the face of uncertainty.”74．The author takes the songbird as an example to indicate that ______.A．like birds, humans tend to be satisfied with the predictableB．some birds are used to looking for food instead of being fedC．there exist the conservative and the adventurous like humansD．birds choose different ways to look for food in different weather75．According to the third paragraph, people who mastered “explore-exploit” trade-off ______.A．will choose either to pursue novelty or keep the status quoB．are ready to risk in time of difficultyC．will be tough in good times and bad timesD．will grow to be experts in lab studies76．Which can be inferred from the new study led by Shay O’Farrell and James Sanchirico?A．The two groups react to the unexpected differently.B．The “explore-exploit” trade-off helps scientific research a lot.C．The exploiters are used to fishing based solely on their experience.D．The explorers tend to achieve more than the exploiters in the long run.77．Which of the following can be the best title for passage?A．How the Exploiter differs from the Explorer B．How to Become a Productive Fisherman C．What is “Explore-Exploit” Trade-off D．When to take risks mattersSection CDirections: Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.The Maya loved cacao so much that they used the beans as currency. They also believed it is good for you—which many people still say today about cacao’s most famous byproduct, chocolate. 78 . While some have suggested that less than an ounce of dark chocolate might improve heart health, much of the research doesn’t involve eating actual chocolate but rather its components — flavanol, especially.79 . In a clinical trial of 21,000 adults, they found that the half of the group that took500mg of. cocoa flavanol supplements daily had a significantly lower risk of death from cardiovascular disease than those who had taken a placebo（安慰剂）.Flavanols may also boost insulin sensitivity, according to some studies, which might be helpful in reducing the risk of type 2 diabetes（糖尿病）. 80 . Those at risk of diabetes might be wise to choose a cacao-inspired supplement instead of eating chocolate—and the sugar it contains. Other research suggests that the flavanols found in cacao （also present in fruits, vegetables, and tea）could slow cognitive decline during aging, or even boost brain performance by improving blood flow to the cerebral cortex.What these findings mean for chocolate is limited, however. Participants would have had to eat multiple fat and sugar filled chocolate bars a day to source 500mg of flavanols. 81 . So understanding why certain types of chocolate are healthier than the rest is the focus of further research.Ⅳ．Fill in the BlanksHow sneaker culture took over the worldSneakers have come a long way from when they were first invented in 1860s England for the upper-class playing croquet（槌球）and tennis.Long worn for function 82 82 fashion, today sneakers have become an entire culture—both a form of self-expression and a high art found in museum exhibits and designer auction houses.83 transformed sneaker culture into a true phenomenon was the 1985 release of Nike’s Air Jordan 1s. In 1984, Michael Jordan was a talented rookie who had yet to play in a professional game. 84 that, Nike saw Jordan as the future of their brand, signing him to a five-year, $2.5 million endorsement（代言）deal. 85 Jordan matured into one of the greatest basketball players of all time, the sneaker’s popularity skyrocketed.Meanwhile, another cultural shift 86 （take）place with casual Fridays introduced in white-collar businesses. It was when men were allowed to put aside their suits and wear something one day a week that showed people who they really were.As sneakers became increasingly desired, footwear companies turned to 87 （generate）even more publicity by collaborating with celebrities and luxury brands, as well as releasing small batches of limited-edition shoes with eye-pop ping designs.Celebrities also started their collaborations with sneaker brands, which helped target a whole new demographic of people to experience sneaker culture. It was a blending of high and low fashion, 88 the shoe industry has never really seen before. A pair that Jordan wore in his legendary final NBA season 89 （sell ）even for $2.2 mllion, making them the most expensive sneakers ever to appear at auction.By the mid-2010s, speakers 90 （become）solid gold status symbols. Wearing rare and cool sneakers became an expression of one’s social status. But not until recently, sneakers are finally getting their due as part of our cultural heritage—and particularly how Black culture has shaped that heritage. It took decades for the sneaker industry to recognize that 91 these Black athletes or artists that championed their products there would be no sneaker culture.Ⅴ．Translations92．结果看来这项传统的确值得传承给我们的后代。

英语试题第Ⅰ卷第一部分：听力（略）第二部分：阅读理解（共两节，满分40 分）第一节（共15 小题；每小题2 分，满分30 分）AHilton English Language CenterInformation for New StudentsClass time: 8:30 a.m.-10:00 a.m., 10:30 a.m.-12:00 a.m., 1:30 p.m.-3:00 p.m.The Language Center is open Monday to F r iday. Each class has one afternoon free per week. O n the first day, go to the lecture hall to check your timetable.Self-access (自习): The language laboratory (Room 1110) is open Monday to Friday from 3:15 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. for all full- t ime students.Y ou can learn how to use computers for language games. There are tapes for students to borrow to practice their English. Go in and ask the teacher to show you. If you p l an to take public examinations, there are listening comprehension tapes for you to practice with. There are other kinds of exercises on the computers. Ask your class teacher for a list of past exam essays. Students can borrow tapes to take home but they must be returned after two days.Attendance (出勤): All students are expected to attend classes as it is required. Students who do not attend classes will be reported to OSS. Eighty percent attendance is required for students to receive their certificates (证书) when they finish their courses.Books: If students are given course books, the books are their responsibility. If a book is lost, the student will be expected to pay for it. If students wish to buy books, there is a bookshop in the college specializing in English books (Room 3520).21.Which of the following statements is TRUE?A. No teachers are in the language lab.B. Books can’t be taken out of the center.C. 90% attendance is required for the students.D. Students can prepare for exams by listening to tapes.22.Timetable can be seen in .A. the lecture hallB. Room 3520C. the classroomD. Room 111023.Where can students buy books?A. Room 1110.B. Room 3520.C. The language lab.D. OSS.BWhen we do some t hing, we all have our own plans. Some people are born planners.I can’t claim (宣称) to be one of that kind of people. Most of the time, I try to at least expect what might go wrong. I have taken to making lists and, although I’m not yet achieving perfection, I usually manage to achieve goals. But there are times when even the best plans do not succeed. All that is left then is to smile and to make or do something using whatever is found.Hanukkah (光明节) came early this year, perhaps too soon after Thanksgiving to allow us to prepare well. During the first night of Hanukkah, the Hanukkah candles were nowhere to be found in the entire Dallas area where we lived. Birthday candles wouldn’t work! The tall long thin candle fell in small drops.“What would our ancestors do?” I thought.“What shall I do now? That’s where inge n uity comes from. Don’t be nervous and worried. Never let missing candles spoil a family celebration.”Later what we did find was a bag of tea lights.The long, silver bread tray became the base for our tea lights. The younger ones were wide-eyed and happy as Grandpa lit the first tea light and all recited the blessing. We sat at the dining table, happy to be together and the food was plentiful.No matter how imperfect it is, the fact that families gather to share a special event, an event that has held meaning for so many generations of families, is the meaning itself and forms the important part of the observance (仪式). What we need to remember, and to carry with us, is the knowledge that togetherness is much better than all other concerns.24.How does the author feel about perfect planning according to Paragraph 1?A. It should be an aim when we are doing things.B. It is well worth considering carefully.C. It often takes too much great effort.D. It plays an important part in our daily life.25.From the passage, what can we infer?A. We should know well about our limited weaknesses.B. We should make the most of the available resources.C. We should get well prepared for the coming festival.D. We should feel confident about our own abilities.26.What does the underlined word “ingenuity” in the second paragraph mean?A. courage.B. curiosity.C. custom.D. creativity.27.What does the author think highly of?A. Personal abilities.B. Personal experience.C. Family reunion.D. Cultural difference.CActor Warwick Davis realized he was shorter than other people when he was eight years old. He suddenly noticed all his schoolmates were twice his size. It was then that the effect of having dwarfism hit him for the first time.Now aged 48, Davis says, “I have very fond memories of school but I realized I had to become a little bit louder and funnier so I wouldn’t get left out of conversations. I became quite the performer, so being short was my training in acting.”It worked. Director George Lucas cast young Warwick as the Ewok Wicket in Return of the Jedi. The actor has gone on to star in many TV shows and films, including playing Professor F l itwick in the Harry Potter films.Warwick’s dwarfism means he is 1.07 meters tall, while the average UK adult male height is 1.78 meters. Most types of dwarfism are caused by a genetic disorder that stops some of the body’s building blocks working properly.Davis has a positive attitude to being “different”. He says, “If I had my life all over again, I would c h oose the same job and be the same height. I have enjoyed every minute. At school I played rugby and football and tried long jump and high jump. I wasn’t very good at them but I always had a go. I defeated everyone at chin- ups (引体向上) because I had a low body weight combined with a strong upper body from climbing up to the top cupboards to reach the biscuit boxes at home.”Warwick is supporting Jeans for Genes Day, a charity raising public concern for millions of children born with genetic disorders in the U.K. He says, “Even if you can only give a tiny amount of money, it will make such a difference to the children.”28. Why did Warwick Davis decide to become a little bit louder and funnier?A. It was his training in his acting.B. He didn’t want to be ignored by his classmates.C. The effect of having dwarfism influenced him strongly.D. The genetic disorder prevented his body from working properly.29. What can be inferred from paragraph 5?A. Davis has a positive attitude to being “different”.B. Davis turns his short body to his advantage at chin- u ps.C. Davis is not fond of rugby and football, long jump and high jump.D. Davis doesn’t want to choose the same job if he can live his life again.30. Warwick Davis can be best descr i bed as “”.A. pleasedB. generousC. sensitiveD. confident31. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A. My Strong Upper BodyB. Dwarfism Caused by Genetic DisorderC. Height Is Not My LimitationD. More Money, Bigger DifferenceDLocated at Europe’s biggest water park, the Galaxy Erding in South Germany, the world’s first VR water slide takes the exciting experience to a whole new level by offering thrill- seekers the choice of three attractive worlds --- Space, Sky, or S n ow. By simply wearing a headset, riders can slide through a magical alien world, follow beautiful butterflies around floating islands or put themselves in a white winter wonderland. To make the experience even more heart-stopping, the 160-meter- long ride that lasts about 35 seconds has two uphill tracks that provide a roller-coaster- l ike experience.While the tire slide, which has been successfully tested by almost 10,000 park goers since it opened in February 2018, is impressive, the techno logy behind it, developed by California startup Ballast is even more so. The specially-created waterproof headsets can be worn in water up to a few meters deep, without harming the delicate Samsung Galaxy S8 mobile devices that run the custom software for the VR experiences. The headsets also charge wirelessly (无线地), allowing park operators to swap out sets throughout the day.The biggest challenge the company faced, however, was providing a suitable VR experience for everyone. That’s because unlike roller coasters, where the speed is fixed for all riders, water slide speeds vary depending on the weight of the person. To overcome the issue, Ballast fixed smart sensors (传感器) in important areas along the slide to keep track of the rider’s progress at all times. The information, conveyed through the headset, allows the custom software to adjust his or her location within the virtual world accordingly, making for a smooth, seasickness free ride for all.Though Ballast is thrilled at Space Glider’s success, the company has bigger ambitions. They want to create an experience where guests will be able to swim underwater surrounded by virtual dolphins, whales, and even sharks, without wearing the heavy headsets!32. What can people do if they go to the Galaxy Erding?A. They can swim with dolphins.B. They can explore the outer space.C. They can experience VR water slide.D. They can swap out sets all day long.33. Which statement is NOT true according to the passage?A. The tire slide has been successfully tested so far.B. Water slide speed vary depending on the age of the person.C. Thrill-seekers take the exciting experience by wearing a headset.D.The specially-created waterproof headsets can be applied in water.34. What can help park goers experience a smooth, seasickness free ride?A. The painkillers.B. The fixed speed.C. A sensor fixed in important areas.D. Virtual dolphins, whales and sharks.35. What is the author ’s attitude towards the VR water slide?A. objectiveB. subjectiveC. opposedD. indifferent 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。

A．missing Ed's funeralB．moving away from his neighborhoodC．forgetting to send Ed Christmas cardsD．not being able to keep in touch with Ed18．From Paragraph4,we can learn that the author of the passage________.A．often failed to write to his friendsB．had no intention to write to his friendsC．had many great moments with his friendsD．was good at expressing feelings to his friends19．What message does the passage probably try to convey?A．Comfort your friends when they are feeling down.B．Life is unpredictable,so live each day as if it were your last.C．Remember to always mail your letters after expressing your words.D．Always make time to value and experience your lasting friendships.【答案】16．A17．D18．A19．DLiving and dealing with kids can be a tough job these days,but living and dealing with parents can be even tougher.If I have learned anything in my16years,it is that communication is very important, both when you disagree and when you get along.With any relationship,you need to let other person know how you are feeling.If you are not able to communicate,you drift apart.When you are mad at your parents,or anyone else,not talking to them doesn’t solve anything.Communication begins with the concerns of another.It means that you can’t just come home from school,go up to your room and ignore everyone.Even if you just say“Hi”and see how their day was for five minutes,it is better than nothing.If you looked up the word“communication”in a dictionary.It would say“the exchange of ideas,the conveyance(表达)of information,means of communication such as a letter or a message”.To keep a good relationship,you must keep communication strong.Let people know how you feel,even if it's Just by writing a note.When dealing with parents,you always have to make them feel good about how they are doing as a parent.If you are trying to make them see something as you see it,tell them that you’ll listen to what they have to say,but ask them politely to listen to you.Yelling or walking away only makes the situation worse.This is an example:one night,Sophie went to a street party with her friends.She knew she had to be home by midnight after the fireworks,but she didn’t feel she could just ask to go home.That would be rude.After all,they had been nice enough to take her along with them.Needless to say,she was late getting home.Her parents were mad at first,but when Sophie explained why she was late,they weren’t as mad and let the incident go. Communication is the key factor here.If Sophie’s parents had not been willing to listen, Sophie would have been in a lot of trouble.Communication isn’t a one-way deal:it goes both ways.Just remember:if you get into a situation like Sophie’s,tell the other person how you feel-listening is the key factor to communication.20．In the writers view,dealing with parents is__________than with children.A．more difficult B．easierC．more uninteresting D．more interesting21．The main idea of the second paragraph is____________.A．the importance of friendshipB．to make your feeling known to othersC．the importance of communicationD．the disagreement between generations22．The example in this passage proves that____________.A．Sophie is very polite to her parentsB．Sophie's parents are willing to listen to herC．explanation is the best way to solve a problemD．communication is the solution(解决办法)to misunderstanding23．All the following statements are correct except____________.A．If you don’t agree with others,you'd better let them knowB．It is better to say“Hi”to others than say nothingC．If you are not able to communicate,walk awayD．Communication is a two-way deal【答案】20．A21．C22．D23．CGreen is an important color in nature.It is the color of grass and the leaves on trees. It is also the color of most growing plants.Sometimes,the word“green”means young,fresh and growing.For example,a greenhorn is someone who has no experience.In the15th century,a greenhorn was a young cow or an ox whose horns(角)had not yet developed.A century later,a greenhorn was a soldier who had no experience in war.By the18th century,a greenhorn had the meaning it has today—a person who is new in a job.Someone who is good at growing plants is said to have a green thumb(大拇指).The expression comes from the early20th century.A person with a green thumb can make plants grow quickly and well.Green is also the color used to describe the powerful feeling,jealousy(嫉妒).The green-eyed monster(怪物)is not a dangerous animal from outer space.It is an expression used about400years ago by the British writer William Shakespeare in his play“Othello”.It describes the unpleasant feeling when someone has something he wants.For example,a young man may suffer from the green-eyed monster if you get a pay rise and he does not.In most places in the world,a green light means to move ahead.In everyday speech,a green light means agree to continue with a project.24．A greenhorn now refers to________.A．a person who is new in a jobB．a new soldierC．a young horseD．a cow without horns25．A person with a green thumb is a person________.A．who is good at growing plantsB．whose thumbs are of green colorC．whose garden is greener than others’D．who is younger than his neighbors26．A man may meet the green-eyed monster if________.A．he sees a dangerous animalB．he reads a sad playC．his friend gets a prize that he wantsD．he can’t get something27．The main idea of the passage is________.A．a greenhornB．a green thumbC．the Green RevolutionD．the word“green”and its story【答案】24．A25．A26．C27．DWolves are important animals in the traditions and stories of most Native American tribes.To Native Americans,wolves often represent bravery.The animals also are signs of strength,loyalty,and success at hunting.Other cultures--such as the ancient Celtic and Nordic peoples-also placed high value on wolves.However,from the wolves in horror films to the wolves in children’s stories,wolves get a bum rap(不公正的惩罚)in both literature and English expressions.To begin with,there is the term lone wolf.The lone wolf isn’t a bad person.But they like to do things on their own.However,the term can mean something less than desirable.Lonewolf makes you think the person doesn’t want to be around people because he or she dislikes them.Now,let’s move on to the home.Parents might criticize their children for wolfing down their food.In other words,the child eats very quickly and without care.And if someone says a child was raised by wolves, that child has bad manners and is behaving like a wild animal.A wolf at the door means someone to whom you owe money is waiting just outside your door.By the way,there are two popular wolf-related expressions that come from Aesop,the ancient Greek storyteller.The first is a wolf in sheep’s clothing.A wolf in sheep’s clothing describes someone who acts and looks nice on the outside but is bad on the inside.Aesop’s other wolf fable also involves a shepherd,but not a hardworking one.He is known as the boy who cried wolf.People who cry wolf are not trusted.People are so familiar with this story,you simply have to say cry wolf for them to know what you mean. 28．According to the passage,which group of people may think wolves are bad animals? A．The ancient Nordic people B．The ancient Celtic peopleC．Native Americans D．The English people29．Which of the following can describe a person who often acts alone?A．A wild wolf B．A lone wolfC．A wolf at the door D．A wolf in sheep’s clothing30．What may you probably mean by saying someone cries wolf?A．The person is selfish B．The person is a liarC．The person is stubborn D．The person is a troublemaker31．What is the passage mainly about?A．Stories about wolvesB．The research on wolvesC．Expressions about wolvesD．The cultural differences about wolves【答案】28．D29．B30．B31．CJohn H．Johnson was born in a black family in Arkansas city in1918．His father died in an accident when John was six．He was reaching the high school age，but his hometown offered no high school for blacks．Fortunately he had a strong﹣willed caring mother．John remembered that his mother told him many times，"Son，you can be anything you want really to be if you just believe．"She told him not to depend on others，including his mother．"You have to earn success，"she said．"All the people who work hard don't succeed，but the only people who do succeed are those who work hard．"These words came from a woman with less than a third grade education．She also knew that believing hard work don't mean everything．So she worked hard as a cook for two years to save enough to take her son，who was then15，to Chicago．Chicago in1933was not the promised land that black southerners were looking for．John's mother and stepfather could not find work．But here John could go to school，and here he learned the power of words﹣as an editor of the newspaper and yearbook at Du Sable High School his wish was to publish a magazine for blacks．While others discouraged him，John's mother offered him more words to live by．"Nothing beats a failure but a try．"She also let him pawn（典当）her furniture to get the ﹩500he needed to start the Negro magazine．It is natural that difficulties and failures followed John closely until he became very successful．He always keeps his mother's words in mind．"Son，failure is not in your vocabulary!"Now John H．Johnson is one of the400richest people in America﹣worth﹩150million．32．Why did John's mother decide to move to Chicago?A．his father died when John was very youngB．life was too hard for them to stay on in their hometownC．John needed more education badlyD．there were no schools for Negroes in their hometown33．John's mother．A．didn't believe in or depend on othersB．thought one could be whatever one wanted to beC．believed one would succeed without working hardD．thought no one could succeed without working hard34．What does the underlined sentence"Nothing beats a failure but a try．"mean?A．if you try，you would succeedB．a failure is difficult to beat，even if you tryC．a try is always followed by a failureD．no failure can be beaten unless you try．【答案】32．C33．D34．DIf you’d like to go sightseeing,the following World Heritage Sites may be your best choices.

Luckily,people still have a chance to get these abilities back.You should try to keep your parents’numbers in mind for emergencies.You should also pay more attention to street signs and stores,which will help you to draw a mind map and stop you from getting lost.And the easiest solution to social skill loss is to take a break from electronic products.39．The underlined sentence in the second paragraph implies that______.A．you are able to turn to others for helpB．others are able to call you anytime and anywhereC．others are unable to get in touch with you by smartphoneD．you are unable to contact others without your smartphone40．The experiment shows that without electronic products,one could______. A．recognize more facial expressions correctlyB．lose the sense of direction frequentlyC．tell different emotions immediatelyD．tell more pictures of faces easily41．Overusing smartphones,people will probably______A．have no sense of numbersB．fail to find their destinationC．lose face-to-face communication skillsD．weaken their senses of hearing and sight42．What’s the writer’s attitude towards electronic products?A．Objective.B．Critical.C．Supportive.D．Optimistic.【答案】39．D40．A41．C42．BA good relationship between students and teachers makes the classroom a very inviting place.When you like your teachers,it’s easier to pay attention to their explanations and improve your marks.When you consider your teachers as friends,you’ll certainly have more respect for them.When your teachers consider you to be a friend,they’ll feel more open in class and that will probably influence the classroom in a positive way.Now here are some tips to develop a friendly relationship with your teachers:Ask questions.If you have any questions about that subject,ask them.Show them that you’re interested in their subjects.That will make them notice you.But never ask questions that you already know the answers to.If your teachers realize that you are not asking real questions,they might think that you’re not actually trying to learn,but only trying to make an impression.Talk about non-school subjects.When you see one of your teachers in the hall,greet him/her and ask if he/she is going to that concert or if he/she has seen that movie.That way you’ll show that you consider him/her as a reined.Some teachers don’t like to have friendly relationships with students,but most of them are happy to chat with their students.After a while,they may start to talk with you about non-school subjects in the classroom.The rest is totally up to you;it is very easy to develop a friendly relationship with any of your teachers.If you want to be friends with your teachers,just treat them as friends,but don’t forget that no matter how good friends you are,they will still be your teachers and deserve your respect.43．What does the first paragraph mainly tell us?A．How to make friends with your teachers in or out of class.B．How important a good teacher-student relationship is.C．How to make yourself pay attention to your teachers in class.D．Some tips for developing a friendly relationship with your teachers.44．When you ask a teacher questions you already know the answers to,__________. A．you may make a fool of yourself trying to be smartB．it means that you should not be above asking questionsC．you are actually trying to make fun of your teachersD．it shows that you’re trying to pretend to know everything45．What’s the main idea of this passage?A．What a good teacher-student relationship is.B．How to make friends with your classmates at school.C．How to make the classroom a very inviting place.D．How to develop a good relationship with your teachers.【答案】43．B44．A45．DElephants are able to know the difference between a man and a woman,and can tell an adult(成年人)from a child—all from the sound of a human voice.This is according to a study in which researchers played voice recordings to wild African elephants.The animals showed more fear when they heard the voices of adult Masai ually Masai people hunt elephants,and this suggests that animals have grown to listen for and avoid them.Prof.Karen McComb and Dr Graeme Shannon from the University of Sussex led the study.They explained that in former research they had used similar experiments to show that elephants could tell—from the sound of a lion—whether the animal was a female(雌性)or a more dangerous male(雄性).Prof.McComb wanted to find out if the animals used their very sharp sense of hearing to recognize danger from humans.The scientists recorded Masai men,women and children saying,in their own language,“Look,look over there,a group of elephants are coming.”They also recorded Kamba mensaying this phrase.Masai people often come across elephants,which can result in violent(暴力的)hunting. Kamba people,however,mainly feed on agriculture,which does not generally bring them into violent touch with the animals.When the team played recordings of these different voices through a hidden speaker, they found that elephant family groups showed more fear in response to the voice of a Masai man,than to a Kamba man’s voice.And the adult male Masai voices caused far more violent response than the voices of women or boys.46．An elephant can tell a man from a woman by sense of________.A．touch B．sight C．smell D．hearing 47．How did the researchers get to know the elephants’special ability?A．By watching the elephants in the zoo.B．By playing voice recordings to them. C．By recording the behaviors of elephants.D．By communicating with them in a special way.48．We can learn from the passage that elephants are especially afraid of________. A．Masai men B．Masai women C．Kamba men D．Kamba women 49．What is the best title for the passage?A．Elephants and Human Beings B．Differences Between Human Voices C．Elephants Recognize Human Voices D．Elephants at War with Human Beings【答案】46．D47．B48．A49．CEarthquakes are something that people fear.There are some places that have few or no earthquakes.Most places in the world,however,have them regularly.Countries that have a lot of earthquakes are usually quite mountainous.The most talked about earthquake in the United States was in San Francisco in1906. Over700people died in it.The strongest one in North America was in1964.It happened in Alaska.Strong earthquakes are not always the ones that kill the most people.In1755,one of thestrongest earthquakes ever recorded was felt in Portugal.Around2,000people died.In1923,a very strong earthquake hit Tokyo,Yokohama area of Japan.A hundred and forty thousand people died.Most of them died in fires which followed the earthquake.One of the worst earthquakes ever was in China in2008.It killed a large number of people.The worst earthquake ever reported was also in China,in which400,000people were killed or injured.This earthquake happened in1556.Earthquakes worry people a lot.The reason is that we often do not know when they are coming.People cannot prepare for earthquakes.50．Earthquakes happen________.A．in all the places in the worldB．only in the countries that have a lot of mountainsC．regularly in most places in the worldD．only in a few places along the coast51．When and where was the worst earthquake ever reported?A．In1964in Alaska.B．In1556in China.C．In1923in Japan.D．In2008in China.52．According to the passage,which of the following is NOT true?A．The stronger the earthquake is,the more people are killed.B．Earthquakes often come unexpectedly.C．Earthquakes can cause fires.D．People still don't know how to tell when an earthquake will come.53．What may be talked about in the seventh paragraph?A．How do earthquakes worry people?B．What will people do to prepare for earthquakes?C．How can we save people when earthquakes happen?D．How do earthquakes happen?【答案】50．C51．B52．A53．B。

AHere are some music festivals that you might be interested in.BoogieTallarook, VIC(26－28 March)Boogie is definitely kid-friendly, but with a few rules. Kids are welcome, but need to be fully supervised（监管）at all times and out of the licensed area by 10 pm. Kids under 8 years old are admitted for free. Kids between 8 and16 get in cheaper. There are some activities for kids and a great kid-friendly area.Splendour in the GrassByron Bay, NSW(24－26 July)Look, Splendour can be pretty crazy, so if you and your kids are out of practice with handling festivals and the stress they can sometimes bring, maybe you should try starting smaller. But if you feel like you can do it, then your kids are welcome to hit Splendour with you. The usual rules apply — you'll need to have them with you at all times if they are under 16 and they can't go into bars. If the child is under 11, then they will get in for free.The Gum BallHunter Valley, NSW(22－24 April)We didn't originally include the Gum Ball because they took last year off and we wanted to make sure they were definitely returning. Not because we have anything against them. On the contrary, they are one event that manages to balance brilliant music and a family-friendly vibe.Bellingen TurtlefestBellingen(30 September－2 October)Great music for a great cause! Bellingen Turtlefest has been set up to raise funds and awareness for the critically endangered Bellinger River Snapping Turtle, while giving families a chance to enjoy some great music at the same time. There's a kidzone, sideshows, workshops and markets, but also an education center and some guest speakers so that the kids (and you) can learn a thing or two while you're at the event.1.

Please remember, at your back stands a strong motherland.”The movie sends the message that overseas Chinese will always receive timely help from China. But in the future, some headstrong(任性的) citizens will not get this help for free, People’s Daily reported.On March 26, the Ministry of Foreign Affaires (MFA) worked out a draft for regulations on consular(领事的) protection and assistance, the Xinhua News Agency reported. The draft says that those who insist on travelling to dangerous places without considering warnings given by the MFA will not be able to take advantage of free rescue services. For example, the MFA recently release a travel advisory (安全提醒) saying that Chinese citizens should avoid travelling to Maldives. Chinese who travel there and run into trouble may still ask for aid from the Chinese Embassy. But they will have to cover the cost of their rescue later.In fact, this is a common international practice, People’s Daily said. Countries like the US, the UK and Canada have similar regulations.According to the MFA, over 130 million Chinese mainlanders travelled overseas in 2017. The MFA issued over1000 travel advisories to advise Chinese citizens of the risks they may face when travelling.4．Why does the author quote a line from Wolf Warrior 2 ?A．To explain what the movie is about.B．To describe the feelings after watching the movie.C．To stress that China will help every Chinese person.D．To prove how strong China is.5．Who usually gives warnings about travelling abroad?A．People’s Daily B．The MFA C．Xinhua News Agency D．Travel agencies.6．The draft suggests that ______.A．Chinese people can’t travel to foreign placesB．Free rescue services have come to an endC．Chinese who travel to Maldives will run into troubleD．People will not get free help if they ignore the MFA’s warnings7．If the regulation is put into practice, we can infer that _____.A．China will be the first country in the world to do soB．People may have second thoughts about travelling to dangerous placesC．The number of people who can travel overseas will be less than 130 millionD．Only rich people will be able to afford to travel overseasCWho needs friends? According to most psychologists, we all do, especially nowadays when so many other aspects of modern life are changing. It seems that having friends keeps us both healthy and happy.The number of TV series about groups of friends shows just how important friendship is to us. Psychologist Dorothy Rowe says that many of us now turn to our friends, instead of our families, for advice, comfort and security. One woman named Rebecca she interviewed even told her that if she had got to choose between her husband and her friend, she would choose her friend.Since our friends mean so much to us, it is not surprising that the happiest marriages are also friendships. “Once the romantic stage of a relationship has passed, it is friendship that holds people together,” says Rowe. If the couple do not make some change, they will eith er get tired of each other and break up or stay together and seek friendship with others.But is friendship equally important to women and men? According to author Rhonda Pritchard, women are more likely than men to have close friends. “You tell a friend things that you’d never tell a partner”, says one woman she interviewed. For men, friendship is usually based on doing things together rather than the private conversations that are typical of women friend. Men share time and activities like building a fenc e or a business, running, riding a bike, fishing or watching football, but they don’t often share their feelings.Although many women find their relationships with a husband or boyfriend is not enough, many men say that their partner is their best friend. Even women who are very happily married are likely to become very unhappy without a close friend and can even find the breakup of a close friend as painful as the end of a marriage.8. What did Rebecca think about friendship?A. Families are reliable forever.B. One needn’t have too many friends.C. Her friend means more to her than her husband.D. Friends are as important as families.9. Some couples look for friends outside their relationships because .A. they don’t ge t what they need from their partners.B. they are not fairly treated by their partners.C. they are encouraged by their partners.D.they think their friends are more romantic.10. What is the main difference between men’s and women’s friendships?A. Women often do things together.B. Men seldom talk about their feelings.C. Women often talk about business with friends.D. Men often talk to their friends about work and family.11. When a friendship ends, some women may .A. turn to their husband for comfort.B. share feelings with their partners.C. treat their partners as friends.D. feel as upset as when a marriage ends.DBuying books on the Internet is a great way to save time and money.

This means that there is a lot that can go wrong when you run.Most sports have some kind of running or jumping. So experts（专家） at many shoe companies work hard to design good sport shoes. First, a designer enters a plan for a shoe into a computer. Engineers then improve the design. A second computer designs a model for the shoe. Then a few pairs are made. Next, the shoe is tested.Different kinds of sports shoes are made for different uses. Some are made to help marathon runners save energy during a race. Some are made for the stop-and-go kind of running tennis players. But all sport shoes have one thing in common: they are designed to help people’s feet comfortable during sports. Today, nearly every sport has its own special shoe designed for just the kind of running that sport requires.【小题1】The first in making a new shoe is to ______.A．make a computerB．design a shoe modelC．test several pairsD．put a design plan into a computer【小题2】Why are good sport shoes welcome to people?A．Because they help to change body weight.B．Because they help to develop leg muscles.C．Because they are both good and cheap.D．Because they are comfortable to wear.【小题3】What is NOT talked about in the passage?A．The number of the bones of a human muscle.B．The effect of shoes upon sports.C．The materials （材料）of sport shoes.D．The design for a shoe model.【小题4】Different kinds of sport shoes _______.A．are designed for people of the different weight.B．meet the needs of different sportsmen.C．are made in different shoe companies.D．are of the same price.21.I am really upset about tomorrow’s exam.

The king was very angry.One day the king said to the bad minister , “Write two words on two pieces of paper. Write ‘live’ on one piece and ‘die’ on the other . Then put them in a jar and tell him to choose. If he takes out the paper with ‘live’ on it , I will let him go. If he takes out the paper with ‘die’ on it ,I will kill him at once.”The bad minister was quite happy. He got two pieces of paper ready. He wrote “die” on each piece of paper.The kind old man came. He knew the bad minister wanted to kill him. He also knew the words on the two pieces both “die”, but he knew what to do. Later the king had to keep his word and let the old minister go.

I realize that this is not true for everybody. Many people get along quite well without going to the concert, and listening to the record. But music plays an important part in everyone's life, whether he realizes it or not. Try to imagine, for example, what films or TV plays would be like without music. Would the feelings, the moving plot, and the greatest interests, be so exciting or dramatic? I'm not sure about it.Now, we have been speaking of music in its more common meaning—the kind of music we hear in the concert hall. But if we look at some parts of music more closely, we discover them in our everyday life too—in the rhythm of the sea, themelodyof a bird in the woods and so on. So music surely has meaning for everyone, in some way or other. And, of course, it has special meaning for those who have spent all their lives working on playing or writing music.It is well said, “Through music a child enters into a world of beauty, e xpresses himself from his heart, feels the joy of doing things alone, learns to take care of others, develops his mind and makes his body strong.”【小题1】What dose the writer say more about in the text?A．Life full of music.B．Life without music.C．The importance of music.D．The development of music.【小题2】What does the underlined word “melody” mean in the text?A．flyingB．lookingC．singingD．living【小题3】From the last paragraph, we learn that music________.A．is very important, especially for childrenB．is very necessary for our everyday lifeC．can make our life exciting and dramaticD．can enter into another beautiful world25.It isn’t an excuse for your failure ___________ you didn’t know the rules A．ThatB．BecauseC．WhyD．How第1卷参考答案一.参考题库1.参考答案：C试题分析：考查固定搭配。
江苏省南京师大附中2019-2020学年高一下学期期中考试英语试题+Word版含答案
南京师大附中2019-2020 学年度高一年级第二学期英语期中试卷本试卷分为选择题（100 分）和非选择题（50 分，满分150 分）考试用时120 分钟第I 卷（共100 分）第一部分：听力（略）第二部分：完形填空（共20 小题；每小题1.5 分，满分30 分）One of the biggest complaints in modern society is being over-scheduled. Ask people how they are and the answer usually is “super busy,” “crazy busy”. 21 is just “fine” any more.When people aren’t super busy at22 , they are crazy busy exercising, entertaining or parenting. And if there is ever a still moment for thoughts—for example, while waiting 23 at the supermarket or sitting in traffic—out come the mobile phones. So it’s worth noting a study published last month in Science, which shows how 24 people will go to avoid the examination for our thoughts.“We had noted that we are so dependent on our mobile phones that people seem to find any 25 they can to keep busy,” said Timothy Wilson, a psychology professor at the University of Virginia. In his experiments involving 700 people, the majority found it 26 to be alone with their thoughts for just 6 to 15 minutes.It could be because human beings, as problem solvers and meaning makers, when 27 , tend to think about what’s wrong in their lives. When we aren’t28 our Facebook page, the things we haven’t figured out appear in our minds—29 relationships, professional failures, health concerns, etc. Unless there is a solution, these thoughts just 30 themselves in our heads.But you can’t solve problems 31 you don’t allow yourself time to think about them. It has actually been 32 by our culture, which values doing more than thinking and believes answers are in your hand 33 in your head. “We all fell that busyness is 34 but it’s really harmful,” said Timothy.“There’s a widespread belief that thinking will only slow you down and get 35 , but it’s theopposite.” 36 negative feelings only makes them more powerful, he said. Allowing and 37 the flow of thoughts is part of the solution itself, such as meditation(冥想).Ne gative feelings are sometimes hard, but they are part of everyone’s life, 38 if you are busy. Itis those deep and troubling feelings, and how you 39 them, that make you who you are. While busyness may seem to prevent the flow of sadness, it may also limit your ability to be filled with 40 .第三部分：阅读理解（共15 小题，每小题2 分，满分30 分）APiazzale degli Uffizi 650122Florence, ItalyPhone +39 055 294883Email：infouffizi@benicultuali.itWe wish to inform visitors that the Uffizi Galleries’ museums, along with their Library as well as their Historic Archive and Research Dept, have been closed since an order was given by the Italian Prime Minister in March.

Although we were all tied to lines running along the steel girders, a fellow climber called Mike had somehow managed to drop onto bended knee and turn to face his girlfriend, Wendy. I knew what was coming. “Wendy, will you marry me?” he asked. There was a quick smile and an attempted kiss and then a big beam. Mike had the answer he hoped for and all of us burst into a round of applause.Apparently more than 2,000 couples have become engaged ( 订婚) at the summit since 1998, when it became possible to climb it in organized tour groups. The bridge, perhaps the most recognized symbol of this beautiful city, opened in 1932. It's still the world's largest steel-arch bridge.We returned to the fantastic view: the famous Sydney Opera House, ferries and sailboats making their way through the harbor, the city skyline — but I had to force myself to look down. We had climbed 1,423 steps to the top of the bridge and I didn't know whether to be delighted or scared.Nicole Kidman has done it. So have Bruce Springsteen, Prince Harry and scores of other celebrities. But climbing to the top clearly isn't just for the rich and famous. On the contrary, Australian youngsters do it to celebrate their 12th birthdays. (You have to be at least 12 years old to do the climb.) A 100-year-old woman climbed it and told guides it was on her list of things to do before she died.You can climb during the day, at twilight, or even after dark with headlamps. People climb in all weathers except when there's lightning in the area. In fact, over two million people have made the three-and-a-half-hour climb to the top of the famous bridge—an adventure that cannot be done anywhere else in the world on a bridge this big. That's probably why this climb has won a lot of tourism awards. Today, the climb is firmly on the "to-do" list for locals as well as tourists.43.What can we learn on the bridge is quite rare.A.Getting engaged on the bridge is quite rare.B.People climb the bridge on climbers’ age.C.There are no limitations on climbers’ age.D.Many famous people have done the climb.44.How did the author feel when he climbed to the top of the bridge?A.Bored and tiredB. Fearful and confusedC. Excited and nervousD. Relived and relaxed45.What is the author’s purpose of writing the passage?A.To introduce the popularity of the bridge.B.To emphasize the importance of the bridgeC.To explain the functions of the bridge.D.To describe the fantastic view from the bridge.C"Our coffee is loved by millions worldwide." Do you often see this kind of advertising in your country? Statements like these that no one can prove are called puffery. Puffery is legal, even though it cannot be proved. In fact, puffery has been called "a license to lie", as it is regarded as an opinion rather than an objective statement.Using puffery to raise awareness of products and to increase sales, is a common advertising method. Some people, however, worry about puffery. One of the concerns is whether consumers are misled by false advertising. Therefore, advertisements containing puffery sometimes can be tested in the courts, and the decisions that are made help to tell the difference between acceptable puffery and illegal advertising.On the one hand, if a company tells the public that it sells the country's best-loved" or favorite product, this is thought to be puffery, rather than an objective description of market share. Similarly, the companydoes not have to produce proof that such puffery is actually supported by numbers or facts. In other words, advertisements such as the world's best cup of coffee" are impossible to prove. They are too good to be true and thus it is expected that any consumer will understand how subjective they are. Such advertisements are therefore not thought of as misleading. In fact, puffery like this in these advertisements is often considered to add to the entertainment value.On the other hand, a company that states their products is the safest" or cheapest" needs to show proof, because statements that are objective need to be supported by proof or statistics. Consumer rights organizations can run tests to examine whether or not such statements agree with the fact. Companies should thus be very careful when making factual statements about a product.A primary function of advertising is to create product awareness. As consumers, we need to know -about competing products, so we can make wise decisions on which one to buy. While it is important that advertisers are monitored to ensure they do not mislead consumers, it can be argued that puffery is a good way of raising awareness of new products. As long as there are effective ways of monitoring advertisements to prevent deliberate deception (欺骗) in safety and quality, it seems that most puffery is relatively harmless. Rather, it has become part of advertising, which most consumers can laugh at rather than being misled.46.By “ Our coffee is loved by millions worldwide", t he passage intends to .A. describe a factB. introduce the topicC. present an argumentD. provide background information47.The function of puffery is mainly to help .A. describe products' market shareB. raise awareness of new productsC. test the advertisement in the courtsD. run tests to examine the new products.48.What does the author think of puffery?A.It is acceptable with effective monitoring.B.It is misleading for it uses the false information.C.It is harmful for it plays tricks on consumers.D.It is convincing for it helps consumers to choose wisely.49.Which can be the best title of this passage?A. Functions of AdvertisingB. Puffery in AdvertisingC Consumers and Advertising D. The Art of AdvertisingDDear Mummy,This last trip to India with you has brought home to me a few hard facts- facts that I wanted to avoid seeing for some time. As you well know, you and I have had a few arguments and several days of tension during the trip. I must admit sometimes I really do not know how to communicate to you what I really feel. Words seem to fail on both sides. That's why I am writing this letter. Perhaps it will be a bit easier. ①As I approach my seventeenth year, I suddenly ask myself where I belong.1 know this is the usual teenage identity crisis. You came to this country when you were slightly older than I am and married my father. You admired the American lifestyle and tried to be an American as much as you could. I am the daughter of you, a mother who is Indian, and a father who is American. Of course, I am American. Except for a few trips to India I have little to do with India outwardly. But I feel how much you would like me to become Indian sometimes. I cannot explain it with examples. But I feel it in my bones. The India that you never quite shake off comes back to you now and you want to see your daughter live it, at least partly. ②Yes, Mummy, I know I am wrapped up in many superficial (肤浅的) things, things my friends indulge in (沉迷于) and I can understand your need to protect me. But I am part of them and in order for me to be acceptedby my friends, sometimes I need to do things which do not always please me either. I need their approval and I want to be like them sometimes. But your good intentions to teach me those good Indian things then clash. Although I dislike the superficiality of my friends, I cannot move back to your culture just because it is better for you or more ancient or deep. ③My dearest mother, I cannot be protected by you. Forgive me if I remind you of something you related to me many times. You could not be protected by my grandparents (your parents) when you decided to embrace this culture along with my father. ④ Nor can you protect me despite the fact that we are not separated by physical distance. Perhaps we are separated by something else and I suspect that is India.I have never written a letter like this before in my short life. I feel good about writing this and would like to hear what you have to say, Ma, perhaps you and I can still be friends in a way that you and your mother could not be. Let’s try. I love you.Yours,Rita50.What can we learn from this letter?A.Rita and her mother had a pleasant trip in India.B.Rita always asks herself where she belongs.C.Rita wants to be accepted by her friends.D.Rita's mother allows her freedom to do as she wishes.51.This sentence “Let me live the life I am surrounded by and suffer as I wish.” canbe best placed at .A.①B. ②C.③D.④52.The underlined word“clash in Paragraph 2 probably meansA. come into existenceB. come into disagreementC. come into viewD. come into effect53.Which words can best describe Rita's personality?A. Hesitant and ignorant.B. Thoughtful and generous.C. Ambitious and humorous.D. Independent and communicative.54.Which kind of social problem can be reflected from this private letter?A. Politics.B. Race. C Religion. D. Identity.55.What can we infer from the last paragraph?A.Rita expects more protection from her mother.B.Rita expects more Indian cultural influence from her mother.C.Rita expects more communication and respect from her mother.D.Rita expects more attention and care from her mother.第四部分:七选五阅读(共 5 小题; 每小题 2 分，满分 10 分)根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

I’m supposed to meet my wife Elvira, who lives in Italy now, and then drive to Guardia Sanframondi, the little town where we own a house, to meet our newborn granddaughter Lucia, now all of11 weeks old.But I takes a wrong turn, and then another, all in vain. I’m lost for 15 minutes, then 30, and finally about 45, unable to get my passport properly scanned and pick up my luggage. This is more than mildly inconvenient. After all, I’ve just flown more than 4,000 miles, a flight into my future.But suddenly I see Elvira, who is holding baby Lucia in her arms. I’m found.I stay in Italy for three weeks. It’s impossible for me to get enough of Lucia, and so I follow a strict agenda(日程). Hold Lucia in my arms. Kiss Lucia all over her face. Wheel Lucia in her carriage in the most public places available. Make faces at her and even sillier gestures and sounds.Today, at 70, I’m a permanent resident of Italy, with Lucia living a five-minute walk away. We visit her at her house and she visits us at ours almost every day. In most American families, adult children with grandchildren live in different towns and states far away. Italian families, on the other hand, are more likely to live near each other. Sometimes three generations here even stay together in the same home. I’ve happily turned my life upside-down to be a grandpa Italian-style. Lucia is just what I need right about now. If I’m lucky, I’ll be just what she needs, too.4．Why does the author go to Guardia SanframondiA．To meet his wife. B．To decorate his house.C．To explore the countryside. D．To see his granddaughter.5．What happened to the author at the airportA．He lost his way. B．He missed his flight.C．He couldn’t find his luggage.

But this fantasy is now a reality at a public library in McKinney, Texas, the United States, with robots from China playing the important role.Local media in McKinney recently reported that two new smart “friends“ were introduced to their colleagues at the McKinney Public Library, saying that the library programmed the robots to serve as guides during busy hours and to meet library visitors’ requests for assistance.The robots are fully designed and made by Chinese high-tech company Orion Star, an artificial intelligence company founded in September 2016 in Beijing. The two little helpers are part of the company’s AI delivery robot series. The series of robots are designed specifically for restaurant use, and the two robots for the library have been adapted in accordance with the library’s needs, providing information and helping keep things tidy by getting books back on shelves when readers finish reading them.”Chinese service robots have a great chance to serve the world because we own a complete hardware supply chain and a large number of talented engineers andproduct managers,“ said Fu Sheng, president of the company.China’s AI area is supported by the rapidly developing big data industry in the country. Such developments have created huge business opportunities for service robots in markets at home and abroad. According to the robot industry development plan of the 14th Five-Year Plan (2021-2025), China will become a center for global robot technology innovation (创新) and high-end robotic producing.Orion Star is making great efforts for cooperation and market share in overseas markets, especially the European nations and the US. According to the company, it has delivered more than 35,000 robots in the first half to global customers. Orion Star said it has completed another round of financing and will release a new key product later this year.8．What can the two robots do at the McKinney Public LibraryA．Sort out books as requested.

Small gardens on bus shelter roofs are being planted with flowers chosen to help support the struggling insects. The gardens provide much-needed islands of nature in a hard, man-made environment of a city.Humans depend on bees and other “pollinators (授粉者)” like butterflies to help grow plants, such as flowers and trees. But with humans taking over more and more land for cities, roads and farms, more natural areas have disappeared. The Wildlife Trusts, a group which works to protect wildlife in the UK, says that 97% of England’s wildflower fields have been lost since World War II and the insect numbers there have dropped by 50% since 1970. Bee bus stops are a small step toward supporting these important insects.The advertising company Clear Channel is working with The Wildlife Trusts and city governments to set up bee bus stops in cities across the UK. Bee bus stops are like ordinary bus shelters, but small gardens have been added to the roofs. The gardens are filled with flowers and plants chosen to attract bees and butterflies. Because thesoil for the rooftop garden is heavy, especially when it rains, the bus shelters need to be sturdy. The rooftop gardens need to be cut about twice a year. But other than that, not much is needed to keep the gardens going.Clear Channel manages about 30,000 bus stops across the UK. It says that most bus stops last about 20 years. The little gardens can also help to slightly lower city temperatures. Even though the bus shelter gardens are small, together they add up to a much larger area. Thirzah McSherry, who works for The Wildlife Trusts, says, “We’re living through a nature and climate crisis and we need to use every tool we’ve got to deal with it.”12．Why are bee bus stop gardens being built in the UKA．To improve farming conditions. B．To make the city more beautiful.C．To solve the environment pollution. D．To provide shelters for pollinating insects. 13．What leads to the insect numbers dropping sharply in EnglandA．Loss of forests. B．Climate changes. C．Human activities. D．Natural disasters. 14．What does the underlined word “sturdy” mean in paragraph 3A．Easily broken. B．Extremely popular.C．Firmly fixed. D．Finely decorated.15．What can be inferred from the last paragraphA．The city temperature is getting lower slowly.B．Small actions can also make a big difference.C．Cities should map out larger gardens for the insects.D．The bee bus stop will change the climate of the UK.二、七选五Talking with your doctorTalking freely with your doctor can make you feel better and gives your doctor the information she or he needs to give you the best care.

ACity: HangzhouLaunched: 2008Size: 2,965 stations / 69,750 bikesPrice：S32.61 deposit(押金)+ time chargeWhile taking a look at this city, you may see the best bike sharing in the world. As the second on the planet by size, the Hangzhou Public Bicycle System is one of the most common and useful shares, largely because it s combined with public transportation: a single card can be used in subway，bus， taxi and bike sharing. Residents(居民)and tourists can put down a deposit of 200 Chinese Yuan (about $33) and ride for an hour for free in this scenic city. Each additional hour costs only $ 0. 15. It was also the first new-generation bike-sharing system in China. By 2020 it’s projected to have 175,000 bikes.City: BarcelonaLaunched: 2007Size: 420 stations / 6,000 bikesPrice: $61.93 per yearBarcelona's Bicycling Program developed Spain’s bike-sharing business in a big way. This program took off like wildfire on wheels, and became four times bigger in one year. It inspired different copycat programs all over the country. Today, Spain has 132 bike-sharing systems. The program is one of the world’s most respected and popular s hares. But it is only open to residents and tourists are not allowed to use it.City: ParisLaunched: 2007Size: 1,751 stations / 23,900 bikesPrice: S38.52 per year/ $2.26 per dayParis's bike sharing is the star of the world .Launched in 2007, it is the world’s largest outside of China.

He may know your deepest fear s and weaknesses and yet will never take advantage of you. However, keeping a friend’s secrets to yourself and not telling the world is what makes the bond(关系)grow strong and last forever. You need to develop trust and mutual(互相的)understanding before you start sharing secrets with each other. With friends, secret talks never seem to end and it can get really amusing to know what has been going on in your friend’s mind.There is a certain time in life especially from the teenage years when one starts having a personal periphery(界限) in life and parents are excluded (排斥)from it. It is because there arecertain things that they can’t understand and we can’t discuss with them. That is when friends become the best secret sharers. They are the ones to whom one reveals one’s feelings and best kept secrets.It is a general belief that only girls share secrets. But boys have their own secrets that they discuss with only closest friends. The secret talks can range(变化) from relationships，talks about fights with parents, secret activities and anything that is not supposed to be known to others! If you think secrets are limited to only teenagers, get your facts right! Secrets can be shared at any age and there is no hard and fast rule that secrets are shared only among youngsters.Sharing secrets with a friend is not just fun, but it also helps to develop a lasting trust in one another. Sometimes, sharing secrets will tell you more about the person. You will come to know whether your friend is reliable and trustworthy and whether it is worth sharing your secrets with them. You can call it a test of friendship.24. What is an advantage of sharing secrets with a friend?A. It helps a lot in your study.B. It leads you to a comfortable life.C.

It follows strict rules.C. It can happen at any age.D. It does harm to a strong bond.CUnless you are fortunate enough to know an NBA player, Ryan Martin is probably the best basketball player you’ll ever meet. Unlike those who fly up and down the court, however, Martin is forced to take a different approach; he doesn’t have legs.Martin, a 33-year-old man, is a professional wheelchair basketball player. His achievements have taken him halfway around the world to play in Spain for the last seven years. There he made a comfortable living playing basketball and working with some of the greatest athletes in the world.A good wheelchair player can make $50,000 a year, while a star can make six figures, said Martin. But he couldn’t see his family for months and European cities wer e unfriendly to the disabled. He also had to learn Spanish. Martin, however, overcame those drawbacks.He started by playing basketball when he was 12. It didn’t take long for him to fall in love with the sport and, after graduating from Somers High, he attended Southwest Minnesota State University on a basketball scholarship. In college, he scored over 1,000 points in his career and set several school’s records.And he works as hard－if not harder－than any other professional athlete. “He destroys me.”said Gina Navarra, who works out with Martin on occasion．“ What he does amazes me．”Martin also recognizes that, at age 33, he’s in the back end of his career. With that in mind, he has been focusing more and more on his foundation.“I have 12 brothers and sist ers. College gave me a true sense of achievement. The foundation is designed to give those with disabilities the opportunity to realize the dreams that I once had, Martin said.“I’m not saying that out of a sense of pity,” he said.“I realize how fortunate I am to have achieved what I have. But I want to open doors for people.”28. What was Ryan Martin’s life like in Spain?A. Free.B. Boring.C. Difficult.D. Bitter(苦)-sweet.29. How was Ryan Martin’s performance in college?A. He stood out in basketball.B. He failed to make a record.C. He was weak in his studies.D. He never won a scholarship.30. Why did Ryan Martin work for the foundation?A. To help those in need.B. To finish his basketball career.C. To earn more money for his family.D. To learn basketball skills from other players.31. Which of the following words best describe Ryan Martin?A. Honest and responsible.B .Ambitious and sensitive.C. Reliable and knowledgeable.D. Determined and warm-hearted.DAlexa is a form of artificial intelligence, or Al for short. Many people start their mornings by asking Alexa for the weather forecast or the latest news. A device (设备)that houses Alexa can also play music from your favorite playlists, keep a shopping list, order takeout food, answer questions, send voice messages and even run“ smart” home controls．Training AI systems to respond to problems with human-like intelligence—and learn from their mistakes —can take months, or even years. Consider Alexa and similar software, such as Apples Siri. To do the tasks its human owners ask, these systems must make sense of and then respond to sentences such as, “Alexa, play my Ed Sheeran playlist ”or“Siri , what is the capital of India？”Computers can’t understand language as it is spoken by people. So AI researchers must find a way to help humans communicate with computers. The technology used to get computers to “understand” human speech or text is known as natural language processing. By natural language, computer scientists refer to the way people naturally talk or write. To teach an AI system a task like comprehending a sentence or responding to a person’ s last move in a board game, scientists need to feed it lots of examples.AlphaGO is an AI system designed by Google that has beaten a human champion, Lee Sedol, at the strategy(策略)board game Go. To train AlphaGo，Google had to show it 30 million Go moves thatpeople had made while playing the game. Then AlphaGo used what it learned to analyze those plays as it played against different versions (版本)of itself. During this practice, the program came up with new moves —ones never seen in games between people.Computers, software and devices that are powered by AI can do much more, however, than just play board games and music. And one day they could make our life much easier and much more interesting.32. What does the example of Alexa show?A. AI may replace humans one day.B. Al is playing a role in our modern life.C. AI has been widely used around the world.D. AI has totally chan ged people’s bad habits.33. How do scientists train AI systems?A. By testing them thousands of times.B. By teaching them almost everything.C. By giving them quite a lot of tasks to do.D. By providing them with large amounts of data.34. What can we learn about AlphaGo?A. It has become very skillful and intelligent.B. It is the most convenient AI system.C. It avoids making any mistakes.D. It just follows human orders.35. What’s the author’s attitude toward AI?A. Unconcerned.B. Worried.C. Respectful.D. Positive.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。
