World Book Day falls on April 23 every year．It was set up by the United Nations Educational,Scientific, and Cultural Organization(UNESCO) in 1995 to encourage people, especially teenagers, to discover the pleasure ofreading．It is also the day to honor great writers，for example，William Shakespeare，born or dead on that day．Many countries celebrate World Book Day．Take UK as an example．On that day，millions of school children can buy books of special price，a much lower price than usual，in any bookstore．It has been done every year since 1998．World Book Day is also celebrated in China. Our Former Premier Wen Jiabao, a bookworm , who does lots of reading every day, has called on people to do more reading. He suggested that young people should spend more time reading．"Books cannot change the world, but people can change the world by changingthemselves through reading,” he said．Why do people like reading? One big advantage is that reading helps us become more knowledgeable and more intelligent. Also, reading helps us to follow the latest developments of science and technology. Besides, reading gives us information about other cultures and places of the world. When we read, we may find many things that are unfamiliar to us. We would have to use our brain to think about them or do more reading to find out the answers. The more we read, the more we know. What’s more, reading is also one of the most important ways to learn a foreign language like English．"Reading makes a full man" (Bacon，1597). Books，magazines，newspapers and other kinds of materials can help us to know more about the outside world and perfect us. So it is necessary for us to spend time on reading every day．1. World Book Day was set up in order to encourage people to ______________ .A. buy more booksB. do more readingC. learn foreign languagesD. know more about science2. In the UK，what will school children do on World Book Day?A. They will give a way some books to those poor families’ children.B. They will go to the library in order to read as many books as possible.C. They will buy books of much lower price than usual in any bookstore.D. They will organize some activities in memory of William Shakespeare.3. How many advantages of reading are mentioned in the passage?A. Two.B. Three.C. Four.D. Five.4. The underlined words “ a bookworm” in Paragraph 2 probablymean .A. a person who loves readingB. a person who likes readingC. a person who loves collectingD. a person who likes buying books3. Flaubert had it that "one way of tolerating existence is to lose oneself in literature as in an unending party". It turns out that reading doesn't only help us to tolerate existence, but actually lengthens it.A recent study by Yale University researchers, published online in thejournal Social Science & Medicine , concluded that "book readers experienced a 20 percent reduction in the risk of death over the 12 years of follow-up compared to non-book readers."The data was obtained from the study sponsored by the National Institute on Aging. The study looked at 3,635 subjects, all older than 50, whom the researchers divided into three groups: those who didn't read books, those who read up to 3.5 hours a week and those who read more than 3.5 hours a week.The findings were remarkable: on average, book readers survived almost two years longer than those who didn't crack open a book. The more the subjects read, the longer they lived, but that as little as 30 minutes a day was still beneficial in terms of survival.Accounting for factors such as education level, income and health status, the study found that those who read more than 3.5 hours weekly were 23 percent less likely to die during that 12-year period. Those who read up to 3.5 hours—an average of a half-hour a day—were 17 percent less likely.In other words, just like a healthy diet and exercise, books appear to promote a "significant survival advantage," the authors concluded.Why or how that's the case remains unclear; the research showed only an association between book reading and longevity, not a causal relationship. But the findings are not so surprising. Other recent research showed that reading novels appears to increase both brain connectivity and sympathy.1. Why does the author mention Flaubert's words in the first paragraph?A. To stress the value of reading.B. To compare reading with party.C. To introduce the study on reading.D. To support the findings of the study.2. From the text, what can we learn about the study?A. No similar study on reading has been carried out.B. The process of the study lasted more than ten years.C. It shows readers live two years longer than non-readers.D. It shows time spent on reading increases one's love for it.3. What does the underlined words "that's the case" probably mean?A. Reading books enables people to live longer.B. Reading is similar to a healthy diet and exercise.C. Reading books is closely associated with longevity.D. Reading increases brain connectivity and sympathy.4. Where can we most probably read this text?A. https:///life-and-style/family.B. https:///b/books/coming-soon.C. https:///news/to-your-health.D. /Book_Recommendations.4. A survey has shown that what you do on a plane can be determined by which nationality is listed on your passport.According to the results of an international passenger survey, Australians are the biggest drinkers on board with 36 percent choosing to down the hatch,compared to 35 percent of Americans and 33 percent of Brits.The Airline Passenger Experience Association(APEX) spoke to around 1,500 people, aged 18 and older, who have traveled by plane at least once during the last three months and were living in the United States, United Kingdom, Germany, Japan, China, Singapore, Australia and Brazil.The results found Chinese travelers are most likely to nod off once the seat-belt sign switches off. They are also the first to take out their credit card for some in-flight shopping and the biggest fans of gaming. Americans on the other hand like to use their time in the air more productively---- when not drinking---- choosing to work while flying at 35,000 feet.Meanwhile, Brits and Germans are the best at making chat with random strangers----spending 50 percent more time than any other nationality. Comparatively, Brazilians conduct their conversations online via email, messaging apps or social media.Despite plane food having a bad reputation, seven out of ten interviewees said they were happy to eat up on the selection of in-flight snacks and meals. In-flight magazines were also popular with four out of five passengers.The international flyers did however express their desire for better in-flight entertainment. “The industry has greatly improved the comfort, entertainment and onboard service, and passengers are accepting those improvements” said Russell Lemieux, APEX executive director. “At the same time, passengers are demanding more from their air travel experiences which will drive more improvements touching all aspects of the journey.” he added.1. What can you probably see in the flight according to the passage?A. Brazilians choose to drink.B. Americans do in-flight shopping.C. Germans chat to kill the time.D. The Chinese switch off the seat-belt sign.2. When on board the plane, ______.A. passengers from one nation have little in commonB. most passengers like to read in-flight magazinesC. more than half of the passengers don’t enjoy plane foodD. most people tend to use in-flight time to have a good sleep.3. What can we learn from the last paragraph?A. Flyers care little about entertainment.B. Flyers are not satisfied with the improvements.C. Flyers are expecting better flight experiences.D. Flyers have more and more demands from airlines.4. What’s the purpose of the passag e?A. To entertain readers with interesting stories.B. To encourage people to behave well in public.C. To criticize impolite behaviors on the plane.D. To inform readers of the results of a survey.二、七选五5.

The opening ceremony for the 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games was held at the Olympic Stadium in Tokyo on July 23, 2021 after a year of waiting due to the pandemic. Let's take a look at the highlights which make this opening ceremony unique.No spectatorsThere are no spectators during the opening ceremony in an effort to prevent the spread of the coronavirus infections. About 950 people, including officials and journalists, will watch in the main stadium, organizers said. Fewer athletes are expected to attend the ceremony because many are not allowed to stay for the entire Games due to COVID-19 restrictions.Male and female flag-bearersThe International Olympic Committee has actively encouraged all delegations toselect two flag-bearers at the opening ceremony, including one woman, as women's participation in the Tokyo Games reaches 48.8 percent, making it the most gender-balanced Olympics in the history of the event.Oath (宣誓) session updatedOne of the most symbolic parts of the opening ceremony—the Olympic oath—has been significantly adapted in order to “highlight the importance of solidarity, inclusion, non-discrimination and equality”. The number of oath-takers is also extended from three to six—two athletes, two coaches and two judges.Simplified ceremonyIn the 30-second video showing the rehearsal of the opening ceremony released to the public, the performances are integrated with dances, scenery and other display elements used in Japanese traditional festival activities.In order to prevent and control the COVID-19 pandemic and manage the cost, the Tokyo 2020 Organizing Committee said that the performances of the ceremony will be greatly simplified, with more light and shadow technology used instead of real decorations at the scene.1.Why isn't there any spectator during the opening ceremony?A.To limit the number of people present.B.To highlight the spirit of the Olympic Games.C.To control the spread of an infectious disease.D.To make room for the athletes all over the world.2.Why is each delegation encouraged to select one woman as a flag-bearer in Tokyo Olympics?A.Women will be in a leading position in sports.B.Women athletes make up a larger percentage than ever.C.Women will play a more important part in society.D.More and more women will take part in the Olympic Games.3.Which of the following statements is True according to the passage?A.Oath-takers are made up of six athletes.B.Tokyo uses more real decorations to cut the cost.C.About 950 people watch the entire games in the Tokyo Games.D.The opening ceremony presents the traditional culture of Japan.BHardware in general,and smartphones in particular,have become a huge environmental and health problem in the Global South's landfill sites(垃圾填埋场).Electronic waste(e-waste) currently takes up 5 percent of all global waste,and it is set to increase rapidly as more of us own more than one smartphone,laptop and power bank They end up in places like Agbogbloshie on theoutskirts of Ghana's capital,Accra. It is the biggest e-waste dump in the world,where 10,000 informal workers walk through tons of abandoned goods as part of an informal recycling process.They risk their health searching for the precious metals that are found in abandoned smartphones.But Agbogbloshie should not exist.The Basel Convention,a 1989 treaty,aims to prevent developed nations from unauthorized dumping of e-waste in less developed countries.The e-waste industry,however,circumventsregulations by exporting e-waste labelled as "secondhand goods' to poor countries like Ghana,knowing full well hat it is heading for a landfill site.A recent report found Agbogbloshie contained some of the most dangerous chemicals.This is not surprising: smartphones contain chemicals like mercury（水银）,lead and even arsenic(砷).Reportedly, one egg from a free-range chicken in Agbogbloshie contained a certainchemical which can cause cancer and damage the immune system at a level that's about 220 times greater than alimit set by the European Food Safety Authority(EFSA).Most worryingly,these poisonous chemicals are free to pollute the broader soil and water system.This should concern us all, since some ofGhana's top exports are cocoa and nuts.Some governments have started to take responsibility for their consumers' waste.For example,Germanyhas started a project that includes a sustainable recycling system at Agbogbloshie,along with a health clinic for workers.However,governments cannot solve the problem alone, as there is an almost limitless consumer demand for hardware,especially when governments' green policies are focused on issues like climate change.Only the manufacturers can fix this.A more economically sustainable and politically possible solution is through encouraging hardware manufacturers to make the repair, reuse and recycling of hardware profitable,or at least cost-neutral4. What can we infer from Paragraph 2?A. Electronic waste requires more landfill sites acrossGhana.B. Electronic waste is too complex to get fully recycleC. Electronic products need to be improved urgentlyD. Electronic pollution is a burning question in Agbogbloshie5. What does the underlined word "circumvents"in Paragraph 3 mean?A. AbolishesB. TightensC. Brings inD. Gets around6. What should be the best concern according to the text?A. The thread of polluted food around the worldB. The damage of chicken’s immune systemC. The lack of diversity inGhana's exportsD. The violation of EFSA's standards7. What does the author think is the best solution to the e-waste problem?A. Manufacturers' developing a sustainable hardware economyB. Governments’ adjusting their green policies about e-waste.C. Reducing customers' demands for electronic productsD. Manufacturers’ urging the government to make effective policies to ensure more profit.CA male tiger was rescued in Mishan city, Northeast China's Heilongjiang province, on Friday. A tiger wasrecently seen on the Siner Russian border（边界），but there is no evidence to suggest this is the same tiger or that it had lost its way from Russia.Wherever it may have come from, cross-border protection of endangered species is a problem. According to Ma Jianzhang, a senior wild animal researcher in China, tigers know no borders, which have been built to stop humans from illegally crossing over. However, these borders also stop the free movement of tigers, thus preventing their breeding（繁殖）and exchange of genes.The Sino-Russian border alsocomes in the way ofprotecting tigers in the region. Data show about 500 to 550 Siberian tigers, or over 90 percent of the species, live in the wild in Russia; 27 live in the wild in China, and 50 inthe border region. Sometimes tigers lose their way across the border and that is hindering（妨碍）efforts to stop illegal hunting and protecting them.Fortunately, both China and Russia have realized this problem and are working toward solving it. As early as 2010, the two countries established a cross-border protection network aimed at strengthening communication on protecting tigers in the northeast. The countries have also held anti-poaching（反偷猎）activities together. In 2019, two national parks from the two countries signed a three-year deal to share research data on tigers, greatly improving the living conditions of Siberian tigers in the wild.However, much more needs to be done to protect the species. It is necessary to combine the tiger protection areas in the two countries. That will require greater efforts from both sides and some difficulties might remain even then. Fortunately, both countries have been taking effective measures to provide the endangered species a better home.8. What's the original purpose of setting up the Sino-Russian borders?A. To ban people from illegal crossings.B. To help protect tigers in the region.C. To protect tigers from losing their way.D. To stop tigers' breeding and exchange of genes.9. What does the underlined phrase “comes in the way of” probably mean?A. keeps from.B. is on the way toC. is aimed atD. keeps up10. What is the focus of Paragraph 4 ?A. Recent studies and researches on tigers.B. Joint efforts by China and Russia to protect tigers.C. The possible effects of establishing a networkD. Reasons for improving the living conditions of tigers.11. What's the author's purpose in writing the text?A. To inform the possible dangers of tiger protection.B. To cover the news about a missing tiger on the border.C. To put forward suggestions on finding the missing tiger.D. To report the problems and measures of cross-border tiger protection.DIf you ever find yourself trapped in the wilderness without food, you'llhave to figure out how to feed yourself. Many plants in the wild areedible, but many are also poisonous. So it is necessary to learn how to determine whether the plants you find can be eaten safely.Avoid using this method without careful planning. Some plants can be deadly, and even if you follow these guidelines perfectly, there is always a chance that a plant will make you seriously ill. Prepare yourself for wilderness outings by learning about the local plants, and carry a guidebook to help you identify plants. Even if you are unprepared and cannot find food you know to be safe, remember that, depending on your activity level, the human body can go for days without food, and you’re better off being hungry than being poisoned.Testing the plant in your mouth is dangerous, so go forward very slowly and carefully. First, hold a small portion of the prepared plant part against your lip for 3 minutes. Do not put the plant in your mouth. If you notice any burning, tingling (刺痛), or other reactions, discontinue testing. Second, place another small portion of the plant part on your tongue. Hold the plant on your tongue without chewing for 15 minutes. Discontinue testing if you notice any reaction. Third, chew the plant and holdit in your mouth for 15 minutes. Chew the plant well, and do not swallow. Discontinue testing if you notice any reaction. Fourth, swallow the small portion of the plant. Wait 8 hours. Do not eat or drink anything during this period except purified water. If you feel sick, immediately throw up what you eat and drink plenty of water. If activated charcoal (活性炭) is available, take that with the water.12. What’s the meaning of the underlined world “edible” in paragraph 1?A. Suitable for using as food.B. Widely spread.C. Existing in large quantities.D. Not widely known.13. What can we know from paragraph 2?A. Planning is unnecessary when using the method.B. Not all plants in the wild can serve as food generally.C. Suffering hunger can be more dangerous than testing plants.D. Following the method perfectly can ensure safety.14. Which is the correct order of testing plants in the mouth?① wait and see ② chew it in the mouth③ put it on the tongue④ put it against lips ⑤ swallow itA. ③④②①⑤B. ④③②①⑤C. ③④②⑤①D.④③②⑤①15. Where might the passage come from?A. A student’s diary.B. A science report.C. A guide book for camping.D. A doctor’ s notebook.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

Memories of what happenedwere still fresh.The magnificence of the ship had given us all a false sense of security. As thefirst signs of the storm started, our captain announced it was nothing much, justanother storm. Yet, he was wrong! The storm hit the ship so badly that large holeswere made at the sides of the ship. As the freezing water started rushing in, ourship was consumed quickly by the dark water.My train of thought was disturbed by Philly licking my hand dearly. “Are youhungry?” I spoke my first words ever since the shipwreck occurred.“Woof, woof!”Barked Philly enthusiastically. At this moment, my stomach gave a loud growl, too.I could not remember when my last meal was, probably a ten-course dinner on the ship.As I had never fished before, I thought maybe I could try something simpler, likepicking fruits. With Philly at my side, armed with a sharp branch, we walked intothe forest on the island together. Suddenly I thought I heard noises. Could therebe anyone else on this island? I wondered. As we were looking for fruit trees, wechanced upon one that bore yellow, juicy-looking fruit. Philly started barking－we had company. It was a dark-skinned woman, holding a sharp spear, dressed in furand grass. I backed away from her, afraid that she would be aggressive. Then, I sawthat she was trying to save us. Pointing her spear at the fruit tree, she shook herhead strongly.I nodded at her to show I understood what she was saying. Signaling to us to followher, she turned to walk along a small path that I had never noticed. At the end ofthe small path, there was a small village. Tears of joy filled my eyes.24.What happened to the ship the writer had been on?A. It was frozen in the sea.B. It was deserted because it was insecure.C. It disappeared instantly due to the storm.D. It sank due to the damage caused by the storm.25. According to the passage which of the following can best describe Philly?A. Sensitive and lovely.B. Smart and loyal.C. Caring but impatient.D. Noisy but enthusiastic.26. Why did the writer walk into the forest?A. To take shelter from the storm.B. To go to a small village.C. To look for something to eat.D. To find someone for help.27. The woman most probably tried to tell the writer that _______.A. the fruit was unfit for eatingB. the writer was impoliteC. the fruit tree was poisonousD. she wasn't afraid of the writerCWhen 4-year-old British royal family member Prince George started his first day of school in September, Chinese was on his curriculum(课程).And he wasn't alone. According to a report published by the British Council in September, about 51 per cent of the UK parents want their children to learn Chinese, as it's believed to be one of the most useful languages.In fact, the popularity of Chinese drove the UK government to launch the Mandarin Excellence Programme in September last year. Its aim is to make at least 5,000 British secondary school students fluent in Chinese by 2020.Yet, the UK isn't the only country showing a growing interest in Chinese.The language has become the second most spoken foreign language in the United States this year, after only Spanish, with over 2.1 million speakers, according to a survey by 24/7 Wall St, a US financial news website.Many US celebrities, such as Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg and former US President Barack Obama's daughter Malia Obama, study Chinese as a second language.In April, Arabella and Joseph Kushner, grandchildren of US President Donald Trump, performed the traditional folk song Jasmine in Mandarin for Chinese President Xi Jinping when the two leaders met in Florida.So far, 67 countries and regions have included Chinese on their national curriculum, reported the China News Service.As is known, China continues to develop rapidly and Chinese is increasingly becoming a useful tool for people's personal and professional growth.“I think everyone believes that China will be the next great superpower...Even if it’s not a superpower like America, it's still very significant,” Aisling McCaffrey from Canada, who studied at the Renmin University of China, told Xinhua News Agency. “And learning Chinese is the best way to make sure that you can be part of that growth.”28. The writer mentions Prince George's curriculum in order to ______.A. compare Chinese with EnglishB. tell something about the royal familyC. introduce the topic of this passageD. introduce the main character of the story29. The reason why many UK parents want their children to learn Chinese is that ______.A. Chinese is easy to learnB. China is developing very fastC. many famous people are learning ChineseD. Chinese is one of the most useful languages in the world30. The most popular foreign language in the USA is ______.A. ChineseB. EnglishC. SpanishD. French31. A possible title of the passage may be ______.A. How to learn ChineseB. Chinese’s influence worldwideC. The importance of ChineseD. The charm of a languageDThe idea of robot rulers, friends and lovers has been a topic of science fiction novels for years.But according to one mathematical model of how our brains create consciousness, emotional machines will never exist.This is because computers can't handle any process that completely integrates (整合) information, so they cannot be conscious or feel, one expert says.A mathematical model for consciousness, developed by Giulio Tononi at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, says that the ability to integrate information is a key feature of consciousness.He believes that integrated information can't be broken down into smaller pieces in conscious minds, because the brain contextualizes (将……融入背景) information.For example, when we see a red circle our brains don't see the shape as a colourless circle plus a shapeless coloured area, New Scientist reported. Instead we see it as a whole —a red circle; we understand the “wider picture”.It's easy enough for machines to edit a collection of individual images (图像), but memories are made up of a bank of intertwined (相互交织的) images and experiences and cannot be changed in the same way.Researchers have used mathematics to show that computers cannot handle the complex processes needed to fit pieces of information together perfectly.Therefore, if consciousness is based on the integration of lots of pieces of information, computers can't be conscious and can't experience emotions like humans.Professor Phil Maguire of the National University of Ireland in Maynooth says that consciousness cannot be created in a physical machine in limited time using limited memory.“It doesn't necessarily mean that there is some magic going on in the brain that involves some forces that can't be explained physically. It is just so complex that it's beyond our abilities to change it,” he said.His research may mean that lonely humans will not find love with a robot; they are unlikely to be made their slaves either.32. Why do experts think emotional machines won't exist?A. Machines can't solve problems.B. Machines can't integrate information.C. Machines can't handle information.D. Machines can't communicate with people.33. The example mentioned in Paragraph 6 is used to show _____.A. machines cannot feelB. the brain has consciousnessC. machines can recognize shapes and colorsD. the brain can contextualize information34. It can be learned from the text that _____.A. the idea of robot lovers won't come trueB. machines can edit intertwined imagesC. robots can fit pieces of information together perfectlyD. computers can experience emotions like humans one day35. What would be the best title for the text?A. How robots workB. Robots will never have feelingsC. Will robots become people's friends?D. What will robots be like in the future?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。

This is the first time the two species have been sorted separately. In the past, elephants were mostly considered as either Asian elephants or African elephants. Forest and savanna elephants were typically classified as subspecies of African elephants.The African forest elephant is now listed as critically endangered and the African savanna elephant as endangered. The number of African forest elephants fell by more than 86% over a 31 -year assessment period. The population of African savanna elephants dropped by at least 60% over the last 50 years, according to the IUCN, which tracks the assessment risk of the world's animals. Africa currently has an estimated 415,000 elephants, counting the two species together.Both elephant species experienced significant population decreases because of poaching. Although it peaked in 2011, illegal hunting still happens and continues to threaten elephant populations. African elephants also face continued habitat loss as their land isconvertedfor agriculture or other uses.There is some good conservation news, the IUCN points out. Anti-poaching measures, combined with better land use planning to support better human-wildlife relationships, have helped conservation efforts. Some forest elephant population figures have stabilized in well-managed areas in Gabon and the Republic of Congo and savanna population figures have remained stable or have been growing, particularly in the Kavango-Zambezi Transfrontier Conservation Area in southern Africa.But with constant demand for ivory and increasing human pressures on Africa's wild lands, concern for Africa's elephants is high, and the need to creatively conserve and wisely manage these animals and their habitats is more severe than ever.4. What can be inferred from the new report about African elephants?A. They are divided into three kinds.B. They are dying out.C. Their threat is mainly from poaching.D. Their population has grown in Africa.5. What does the author mainly tell us in Paragraph 3?A. The detailed number of African elephants.B. The similarities of African elephants.C. The different types of African elephants.D. The present situation of African elephants.6. What does the underlined word "converted" in Paragraph 4 probably mean?A. Expanded.B. Protected.C. Transformed.D. Forbidden.7. What's the authors attitude to the present situation of African elephants?A. Hopeless.B. Optimistic.C. Uncertain.D. Worried.CWhether for a special holiday, as a way of showing gratitude or just a way of letting someone know you care, gift giving is a universal custom Though the purpose may be similar from place to place, traditions vary widely from one country to the next. A behavior that shows respect in one place might be consideredoffensivesomewhere else. Take a look at unique gifting traditions from around the world.Here in theUS, a set of kitchen knives seems like the perfect gift idea for a wedding. However, in certain European countries likeGermany, people believe that a knife presented as a gift will cut off your friendship. There is a way to break it: Tie a coin to the knife or gift box. The receiver then returns the coin to you as a “payment”to remove the bad luck.There's a well-known Italian wedding tradition where the groom's (新郎) tie is cut into a number of tiny pieces. Wedding guests can then "buy” these tie pieces in exchange for cash. It's a fun way to give money to the new couple thatleaves guests with a wedding souvenir.As left hands are considered unclean in Indian culture, behaviors such as touching, passing money, or giving gifts are to be done with the right hand. Different from some other cultures , an odd number (奇数) of thingsor currency represents good luck. For example, £11 should be given rather than £10.InZimbabwe, it is common to directly ask for a gift. When you receive a gift without asking for it, even if the giver's family is poor, it's the worst way to reject the offering. Also, expressing thanks with actions is better than giving thanks orally (口头地).These may include jumping up and down, dancing, or whistling.8. What does the underlined word “offensive“ in paragraph 1 refer to?A. Rude.B. Creative.C. Suitable.D. Caring.9. How do people prevent friendship breaking down when giving gifts like knives?A. The guests cut the groom's tie into pieces.B. The receiver returns the coin to the giver.C. The giver gives gifts with the right hand.D. The receiver expresses thanks by dancing.10. What can we learn about the gift giving inZimbabwe?A. It is not proper to ask for a gift directly.B. It's better to reject a gift from a poor family.C. One can express thanks by writing letters.D. Showing gratitude with actions is better than words.11. Which can be a suitable title for the text?A. The Wayof Showing GratitudeB. A Fun Behavior to Respect PeopleC. Various Gift Giving TraditionsD. A Special Custom of Gift GivingDUnderstanding the link between a clean environment and human life is not a new concept. In fact, it was noticed as early as ancient Rome. Today we see how green living has infiluenced our everyday lives. There is agrowing community of people who embrace a zero waste lifestyle and make changes to the way they live to reduce their carbon footprint.Living a zero waste lifestyle means doing one’s best to achieve the aim of not sending anything to a landfill. People who adopt this lifestyle ultimately cut down on their waste by reducing what they need and want. They reuse what they own, sending few things to be recycled.Many people who adopt the zero waste lifestyle claim to be frustrated by the many harmful chemical substances found in beauty and cleaning products. They also find the uses of disposable items and excessive packaging. For example, how many times have we had to peel away layers of plastic wrap and cardboard before finally taking out the item which we had bought? Instead of buying pre-packed food and goods, those who identify with the zero waste philosophy tend to shop in stores that allow them to make purchases and bring their own cloth bags and glass jars to store their purchases.Many people may have the misconception that it is easier to live a zero waste lifestyle in the West. Nevertheless, Malaysian environmental journalist, Ms. Aurora Tin, has proven that a zero waste lifestyle is possible even in the Asian context. Instead of going to the supermarket to buy pre-packaged foods, Ms. Tin now visits the wet market and brings her own bags for vegetables. She has even stopped using store-bought toothpaste and makes her own toothpaste from coconut oil and baking soda. This lifestyle may be too big a change for the average person, but we could follow her suit to make gradual changes to our own lives.12. Which of the following is a zero waste lifestyle?A. Bringing a resuable container to take away food.B. Choosing appliances that cost less money.C. Turning off a device to stop using power.D. Classifying the garbage before throwing it away.13. What may disappoint a person who adopts a zero waste lifestyle?A. Recycable carboard.B. Excessive packaging.C. Glass jars to store purchases.D. Natural substances in cleaning products.14. What is the main idea of the last paragraph?A. How do people live a zero waste lifestyle.B. Why Ms. Tin chooses to live a zero waste lifestyle..C. We can also practice a zero waste lifestyle in Asia.D. It is easy to live a zero waste lifestyle in the West.15. What is the best title of the passage?A. Living a zero waste lifestyle.B. Going green ismore than a fashion.C. A zero waste lifetyle is easy to achieve.D. Making environmentally-conscious decisions.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。
英语_辽宁省某校2019届高三模拟考试英语试题含答案
辽宁省某校2019届高三模拟考试英语试题一、阅读选择1. 阅读理解You've probably visited the Tian'anmen Gatetower—the landmark building of Beijing, but you may not have heard of Kuai Xiang. Along with him, the following remarkable architects all took the center stage at their times.Kuai Xiang(1399—1481)Tian'anmen Gatetower is universally considered the brainchild of Kuai Xiang. By following in the footsteps of ancient homebuilders, he successfully presented the Emperor Judy with a grand wooden structure which has stood the test of time for almost 600 years. Visitors are also hooked on its delicate paintings.Ieob Ming Pei (1917-present)His motto is: Traditions should be sealed in glass boxes at museums. He is always struggling with innovation. Although under grilling from French conservative critics, he still planted a glass pyramid into the courtyard of the Louvre. His other works include John F. Kennedy Library, Beijing Fragrant Hill Hotel and Suzhou Museum.Zaha Hadid(1950-2016)In 2004, she became the first woman to win the Pritzker Architecture Prize, the Nobel Prize for architecture. She used tricks to maximize available space. Her fluid-style works pioneer the concept of micro-living. The curves(曲线) of Guangzhou Opera House perfectly match the rise and fall of its surrounding buildings, forming a unique view.Meng Fanchao (1959-present)Many people dismissed the building of a mega bridge as a pipe dream, but Meng Fanchao turned this into reality by building Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge. This longest cross-sea bridge, when viewed afar, looks like a dynamic dragon braving the rolling waves of Lingding Sea.（1）What can we infer about Kuai Xiang?A He never follows traditions.B He lacks financial support.C He is a successful architect.D He likes delicate hooks.（2）What's Ieoh Ming Pei's attitude towards creation?A Positive.B Uncaring.C Subjective.D Disapproving.（3）What do Zaha Hadid and Meng Fanchao have in common?A They emphasize the use of space.B They set a remarkable record.C They like following others' opinions.D Their works meet with a boycott.2. My husband and I wanted desperately the instant transformation from typical consumers to eco﹣conscious people．We switched our light bulbs to CFL（compact fluorescent light）bulbs to conserve energy．We went about the house turning off lights and unplugging appliances that weren't in use．But the rate of global warming ________ our snail's pace conversion to greenhood．So I pressed onward．I decided to put veganism（素食主义）at the top of our agenda．Vegans refuse any animal flesh or commercial goods made from any animal byproducts such as milk orfats．All the family applauded this option except for my husband．Some kind of animal needed to sacrifice its dear life for his meal or it wash't dinner．I cooked up astorm, struggling to prepare nutritious meals dominated by not﹣so﹣obvious vegan dishes like bean burritos and high﹣fiber vegetable stir﹣fry．It took a few days before he realized that he hadn't been eating any meat．"I feel like eating beef．"he announced．So that night, I took full advantage of a zucchini （一种南瓜）, cut it into chunky（粗大的）pieces and cooked them．Then I covered them with spices．My beef﹣starved husband had some and a curious look crossed his face．"Where's the beef? ""Living peacefully somewhere on an open plain where it belongs．""I knew it"he murmured．"You've surely made great contributions to the boom in cattle．"His taste buds were developed completely around the flavor of every kind of animal: cattle, pigs, deer, lamb, chickens and ducks．Converting him was like feeding grass to a lion．I'm all for preserving our planet, but what good would it do to save the earth for tomorrow's generation if today's died of starvation? The next day, we went out for burgers．I was very careful to place the paper bag into our recycling bin．（1）Which of the following best explains"exceeded"underlined in Paragraph 1？________ A Defeated． B Absorbed． C Bound． D Distributed．．（2）What do we know about the author's husband from Paragraph 2？________A He supported the meat﹣free diet．B He was a preserver of animals．C He was regarded as a meat Lover．D He played a dominant role in cooking．．（3）What do we know about the author？________A She had a good sense of humor．B She successfully transformed her husband．C She advocated raising more cattle．D She had a perfect recipe for cooking meals．．（4）What can be a suitable title for the text？________A Hunger or Anger？B Discrimination or Appreciation？C Vegetables or Marbles？D Greens or Lions？．3. 阅读理解British Writer John Donne once said: "No man is an island; every book is a world." As an enthusiastic reader, I can't agree with the latter part of the sentence more. Every summer, I endeavor to find some peaceful places where I can attack some classics without being disturbed. Thomas Hardy wants to live far from the madding crowd. I am no friend to chaos, either.I read George Orwell's 1984 in a New England beachside cottage with no locks on the doors, no telephones or televisions in the rooms. 1984 is a good book that needs deep reflection. Attempting Sound and Fury lying on the bed of a poorly-occupied motel, however, was less fruitful: I made it through one and a quarter volumes, but then my eyelids were so heavy that I couldn't keep them open.But this summer I find myself at a loss. I'm not quite interested in J. D. Salinger, say, or Frankenstein. There's always War and Peace which I've covered some distance several times, only to get bogged down in the "War" part, set it aside for a while, and realize that I have to start over from the beginning again, having forgotten everyone's name and social rank. How appealing to simply fall back on a favorite—once more into The Call of the Wild or Alice in the Wonderland, which feels almost like cheating, too exciting and too much fun to belong to serious literature.And then there's John Steinbeck's The Grapes of Wrath. This title do not amaze but confuse. We're never short of sour grapes, but we've never heard of angry grapes. Anyway grapes are my favorite fruit of summer. These stone fruits can always make me feel cheerful and peaceful all at once.（1）What can we infer from Paragraph 2?A The author has a cottage in New England.B 1984 is a book that needs deep reflection.C Both of the reading attempts were not fruitful.D Sound and Fury was set in a poorly-occupied hotel.（2）Why does the author say reading his favorite books feels like cheating?A He finishes them quickly.B He should read something serious.C He barely understands them.D He gets amazed by their titles.（3）What can we say about the author?A Thomas Hardy is his friend.B He likes serious literature.C He is quite forgetful.D He is a literary-minded man.（4）What's the author's purpose in writing the passage?A To share his reading experience.B To encourage readers to read books.C To introduce good books to readers.D To condemn the chaotic world we live in.4. The thing that sets children apart from adults is not their ignorance, nor their lack of skills． Rather, it's their enormous capability for joy． A friend told me a story． One day, when she went to get his 6﹣year﹣old son from soccer practice, her kid greeted her with a sad face． The teacher had criticized him for not focusing on his soccer drills． The little boy walked out of the schoo1 with his head and shoulders hanging down． He seemed wrapped in sadness． But before reaching the car door, he suddenly stopped, crouching（蹲伏）down to look at something on the sidewalk． "Mom, come here! This is the strangest bug I've ever seen． It has, 1ike, a million legs． It's amazing!" The little face was full of indescribable excitement．Nowadays, however, when we walk into a classroom, especially in a high school, we'll be choked by towering books and papers, and hiding behind them are a group of motionless creatures, pens in hand, minds dry, just as the hollow（凹陷的） men described byT． S． Eliot． Their pursuit of joy has given way to their hunger for grades． Laughter and happiness are a distant memory for them．Although joy is an unaffordable luxury（奢侈品） in today's increasingly fierce competition, administrators and teachers need a mindset shift from pressing students with assignments to getting them to take pleasure in productive activities which develop theirimportant qualities, like perseverance and obligation． The idea that pleasure is the enemyof competence and responsibility makes no sense educationally．Adults tend to talk about learning as if it were medicine: unpleasant, but necessary and good for you． Why not think of learning as if it were food﹣something so valuable to humans that they want to experience it as a pleasure?（1）How is Paragraph 1 mainly developed？________A By describing a procedure．B By drawing a conclusion．C By giving an example．D By collecting data（数据）．．（2）What does the author intend to do in Paragraph 2？________A Summarize the first paragraph．B Provide some advice for thereaders． C Introduce the main topic for discussion． D Explain some puzzling questions．．（3）What does the text suggest administrators and teachers do？________A Stop giving students homework．B Involve students in meaningfulactivities． C Supply students with luxuries． D Arouse students' fond memories．．（4）What is the text mainly about？________A Joy is the spokesperson for learning．B Pleasure is the enemy ofprogress． C Education is the paradise for parents． D Exams are a never﹣ending war．二、七选五5. Researchers define self﹣control or self﹣discipline as "ability to control or change one's inner responses"．（1）_______ However， some people think that as an immediate consequence of leading lives of constant self﹣control， they aren't likely to gain a lot of pleasure from life．（2）_______ To start， 414 adults completed an online survey． In the survey，they rated their self﹣control by indicating how much they agreed with 14 statements， such as"I indeed do certain things that are bad for me， if they are fun．"In their study，205 adults were given smart phones and required to report their emotions at random moments throughout the week．（3）_______ If so， they had to report how hard they tried to resist them， and whether they eventually ended up acting on them．The researchers found that the more self﹣control people had， the more satisfied theywere with their lives in the long run．（4）_______In fact， such people's increased happiness to a large extent accounted for the increased life satisfaction．These researchers also figured out that people high in self﹣control are simply less likely to find themselves in situations where that's even an issue． They don't waste time fighting inner battles over whether or not to eat a second piece of cake．（5）_______ And that， it would seem，makes them happier……even if occasionally a little bit sad．A．In a word，they are not bothered about such little desires．B． Researchers checked these general ideas through a survey and study．C． It is generally believed that in the long run self﹣control can make people happier．D． Meanwhile， they were also asked to report whether they were experiencing any desires．E． However， people with more self﹣control were also more likely to be happy in the short run．F． But they are still uncertain why some people are more able to control their inner responses．G． Most adults reported they failed to control their desire to play video games before an exam．三、完形填空6.

AYour 2018 Reading List, Provided by Bill GatesMost of us can’t live like billionaire Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates, but we can read like him. Gates recommended four books in 2018—though some were published earlier.Leonardo da Vinci, by Walter Isaacson (2017)The bestselling biographer of Steve Jobs and Albert Einstein researched deeply into da Vinci’s contributions beyond art, highlighting the breadth of his scientific, technological, and creative output. “Leonardo nearly understood almost all of what was known on the planet at the time. That’s mostly because of his curiosity about every area of natu ral science and the human experience,” said Gates.Gates calls this graphic novel “really impressive”. Bui is the daughter of Vietnamese refugees who came to America after the fall of Saigon, a nd becoming a parent inspired her to look into her own parents’ miserable history. “I was struck by how the experiences Bui illustrates manage to be both universal and specific to their circumstances,” said Gates.Lincoln in the Bardo, by George Saunders (2018)Saunders, a long-time short story writer, won high praise for this novel. The book imagines the ghosts that haunt(萦绕) the basement of Willie Lincoln, Abraham Lincoln’s son, who died at 11 in real life. “Willie’s death after the Civil War made the president have a new understanding of the grief he’s creating in other families by sending their sons off to die in battle,” said Gates.Origin Story: A Big History of Everything, by David Christian (2018)This new book is by the creator of Big History, a free, online social studies course. It traces history in wide, sweeping movements, starting with the Big Bang, and it provides, in effect, a short course in modern science. This is a brief history of the universe. “David gets a little stuck on the current eco nomic and political problems in the West, and I wish he talked more about the role innovation will play in preventing the worst effects of climate change,” said Gates.21. Which books refer to the field of science?A. Origin Story and Leonardo da Vinci.B. Lincoln in the Bardo and Origin Story.C. Leonardo da Vinci and The Best We Could Do.D. The Best We Could Do and Lincoln in the Bardo.22. If you are interested in thrillers, whose book will you most probably choose?A. Walter Isaacson.B. Thi Bui.C. George Saunders.D. David Christian.23. Which of the following statements is TRUE?A. The Best We Could Do is an autobiography.B. Lincoln in the Bardo has been warmly received.C. David Christian talks much about the part that innovation will play.D. Readers can only read about Leonardo da Vinci’s contributions towards art.BA T-shirt that constantly monitors the heart’s activity and detects abnormalities could help protect people against stroke. The T-shirt, which can be washed up to 35 times before it needs replacing, has beencauses an irregular heart rhythm and raises the risk of stroke.At least one million people in Britain are known to h ave this condition; however, it’s estimated that at least another 500,000 have it but haven’t yet been diagnosed because they have no obvious symptoms. Some will have symptoms such as chest pain, dizziness and fatigue; but a large number of people have no idea they’re ill until they suffer a stroke.Detecting atrial fibrillation involves carrying out an ECG(心电图). Conventional ECGs are done in a hospital and involve highly trained teams of staff attaching up to 24 separate electrodes(电极) to different parts of the body to measure electrical signals. But most patients experience abnormal rhythms only intermittently(间歇地). This means the chance of picking them up during a short hospital check is slim.Doctors sometimes issue patients with a device called a Holter monitor to wear under their clothes to try to pick up cardiac(心脏的) problems. This is an electronic box which clips onto your waistband and is connected to a series of electrodes worn on the upper part of your body. But the box itself is quite bulky, hard to hide beneath clothing and involves a dozen or more wires being attached to the patient’s chest.The Cardioskin T-shirt, which is made from cotton, could be a much more convenient alternative and can be worn 24 hours a day — meaning it is more likely to pick up any abnormal rhythms in the patient’s heart. It has 15 tiny electrodes woven into the material which are strategically placed around the chest area to track the electrical signals from the heart as they travel across the main part of your body.The electrodes are powered by a battery which can be removed easily when you need to wash the T-shirt and feed results to a microchip which then sends them out wirelessly to an app. This converts(转换) the data into an easy-to-read chart showing if the heart rate is abnormal. The results are shared with the patient’s doctor so they can check the patient’s heart without having to call them into the hospital.Martin Cowie, a professor of cardiology at Imperial College London, said, “Cardioskin could be an importan t development for cardiologists.”24. How many British people are having dangerous heart conditions according to the text?A. Less than 0.5 million.B. Less than 1 million.C. At least 1.5 million.D. At least 2 million.25. What is the main idea of Paragraph 3?A. The difficulty in detecting atrial fibrillation.B. The benefit of detecting atrial fibrillation.C. The process of detecting atrial fibrillation.D. The future of detecting atrial fibrillation.A. To show how convenient the Cardioskin T-shirt is.B. To introduce a way to check the patient’s heart.C. To encourage people to care about their health.D. To explain why doctors like using the device.27. What can we learn about the Cardioskin T-shirt?A. It has a battery that can be charged easily and quickly.B. It can be worn a month without being washed.C. It has electrodes placed all over the T-shirt.D. It can speed up the process of diagnosis.CInternet time tied to teen depression(抑郁) symptomsSpending time online is normal behaviour for teenagers. But too much Internet use by teens — or too little, for that matter — might be related to depression, a new study finds.The findings, reported in the journal of Pediatrics, do not mean that the Internet is to blame. For one, teens in the study who spent no time online were also at increased risk of depression symptoms. Instead, the researchers say that both heavy Internet use, and non-use, could serve as signals that a teenager is having a hard time.For the study, Dr Pierre·Andre Michaud and his colleagues at the University of Lausanne, Switzerland, surveyed 7,200 individuals aged 16 to 20 about their Internet use.Those who were online more than two hours per day were considered “heavy” Internet users, while those online anywhere from several times per week to two hours per day were considered “regular” users.The teenagers also answered a number of health-related questions, including some standard questions about “depressive tendencies” that gauge(判定) how often a person feels sad or hopeless. Compared with regular Internet users, the study found, kids who were heavy users or non-users were more likely to be depressed or very depressed.Among male teens, heavy users and non-users were both around one-third more likely to have a high depression score, compared to “regular” users. Among girls, heavy Internet users had an 86 percent greater chance of depression, while non-users had a 46 percent greater likelihood compared to regular users.That was with factors like family income and any chronic health problems taken intoSince teenagers typically go online to contact with friends, the researchers speculate(推测) that those who are never online may be more socially isolated.28. How long are those who are online per day considered “heavy” Internet users?A. More than two hours.B. More than eight hours.C. More than twelve hours.D. More than ten hours.29. What’s the purpose of Dr. Michaud and his colleagues’ study?A. To know the actual number of teenagers online.B. To know the actual time of teenagers online.C. To know the influence of study online on teenagers.D. To know the relationship between the Internet use and depression.30. What’s the meaning of the underlined word “isolated” in the last paragraph?A. Independent.B. United.C. Separated.D. Capable.31. According to the accounts of the sixth paragraph, what can we conclude?A. Non-users of Internet aren’t likely to be depressed.B. Among girls, heavy Internet users are more likely to suffer depression than regular users.C. Heavy users will lead to death unless limited.D. Non-users have more possibility to be depressed than heavy users.DHave you ever been in a situation where your name is spelled incorrectly on a Starbucks cup even after you spell out every single letter to the barista(咖啡师)? What would you feel when a room freezes into a sudden silence as soon as you start talking — living with a foreign accent is difficult?Recently a gentleman in his 40s noticed my accent, and asked me where I was from. Then he inquired about what I majored in and how long I’d been in the US to learn English. After a polite exchange, he said sympathetically that he couldn’t imagine how hard it was for me to deal with reading long English texts. Furthermore, he seemed genuinely puzzled to the fact that I learned to speak English “so well” in an African country. Usually I would have shown my defensive self, pointing out his ignorance and telling him how sad I felt that his education had failed him. But I didn’t.actively “sound American” as a way to escape the stereotypes(模式化观念) that people have. But if I practiced an American accent enough, would people actually focus on what I say rather than how I say it?Actually, to speak in our accent itself is to tell a story of identity. My housemates and I come from seven different countries: Jamaica, USA, Gambia, Yemen, China, Ecuador and SA. None of us speak native-like English, but we understand each other perfectly and get along harmoniously. If we all sounded the same, I think that would be boring. Together, we make up a cocktail of beautifully crafted accents with seasoned experiences. None of us owes anyone an explanation about why we don’t sound like how you expect us to.Accepting that people sound different and embracing them for that reason is important. We are a generation of different languages, dialects, and accents. The world is mo re and more diverse with various cultures, and if that means making extra efforts to understand someone’s accent and learning how to spell their name, that’s just how it’s going to be.Deal with it.32. What purpose do the two questions serve in the first paragraph?A. To introduce the topic of the passage.B. To share some unpleasant experiences.C. To show it’s hard to live with an accent.D. To express disappointment at the service.33. What does the author probably do?A. An English teacher.B. An international student.C. A Starbuck waiter.D. A university professor.34.
