Not only because of her flawless performance, but also for the innocence she displayed while speaking with the media. Quan said her dream is to save enough money to treat her sick mother, buy snacks, and go to an entertainment park and a zoo.Were it not for the postponement of the Tokyo Olympics due to the COVID- 19 pandemic, Quan would not have participated in the Games as she only joined the national team last year. Quan is the third child of her parents who live in a village in Zhanjiang, Guangdong province. The city of Zhanjiang has been a cradle of elite Chinese divers through the years, producing the likes of Lao Lishi, who won gold at the 2004 Athens Games, and He Chong, who ranked first at the 2008 Beijing Olympics.During a visit to Maihe Primary School, Chen Huaming, the diving coach at Zhanjiang Sports School, noticed Quan was more agile (敏捷的) and jumped much higher than other kids. After giving her a try on a diving board, he instantly knew he had discovered a true talent. Quan was not the only youngster to impress Chen, but he admitted she was the one that always practiced the hardest.Now Quan has become a sporting sensation. Her previously quiet rural home has become a must-see place for not only locals, but also livestreaming hosts and business people, who come for various purposes, all of which are aimed at trying to capitalize on the national attention her success story has attracted.These uninvited guests have seriously disturbed the Quan family's daily life, and their worldly-wise sophistication (精明) is in stark contrast with the innocence of Quan. The government is duty-bound to extend a helping hand to protect the family from being disturbed, so that the young diving genius can focus more on her training and studies.4.What can we infer from Paragraph 2?A.Quan didn’t join the national team until this year.B.Quan, Lao Lishi and He Chong are all Olympic champions.C.Quan’s parents have 3 children who live in a village in Zhanjiang.D.Quan could have taken part in Tokyo’s Olympic Games if it had been held last year. 5.Why do livestreaming hosts and business people visit Quan’s home?A.Her quiet rural home has become a sporting sensation.B.They want to extend a helping hand to her poor family.C.It is a must-see tourist attraction in the city of Zhanjiang.D.They want to take advantage of the national attention she received.6.The author thinks the government should ________.A.help her poor family financially B.send her abroad to study diving C.help her family live a quiet life D.focus more on her training and studies 7.Which of the following words can best describe Quan?A.Hardworking and innocent.B.Honest and strong-willed.C.Smart and reliable.D.Easy-going and brave.At some point in our lives, we all snore. A cold or allergy can block nasal passages, a few drinks too close to bed will automatically relax tongue, palate and throat muscles—and therefore we know that we’re unconsciously forcing air past those soft tissues, causing vibrations that escape as a snore.“Snoring can be normal and not something to worry about,” said sleep specialist Rebecca Robbins, an instructor in the division of sleep medicine for Harvard Medical School. But snoring can also be a key sign of obstructive sleep apnea (阻塞性睡眠呼吸暂停), a serious sleep disorder in which people actually stop breathing for 10 seconds or more at a time. “When it’s loud snoring, or it’s interrupted by pauses in breathing, that’s where we start to get concerned,” Robbins said.It’s estimated that at least 25 million Americans and 936 people worldwide may sufferfrom obstructive sleep apnea, with many more undiagnosed. It’s called “obstructive sleep apnea” because unlike central sleep apnea —in which the brain occasionally skips telling the body to breathe — obstructive sleep apnea is due to a closure of the airways by weak, heavy or relaxed soft tissues.“You’re making the effort with your belly and your chest to try to get the air in and out, but because of the block in the upper airway, you can’t. Often you aren’t aware of this struggle, but it can be very, very scary for anyone watching,” said sleep specialist Dr. Raj Dasgupta, an associate professor of clinical medicine at the Keck School of Medicine at the University of Southern California. If left untreated, obstructive sleep apnea puts you at a high risk for hypertension, heart disease, type 2 diabetes or depression, even an early death, according to the American Academy of Sleep Medicine.8.What’s Rebecca Robbins’s attitude towards snoring?A.Indifferent.B.Objective.C.Negative.D.Positive. 9.According to the passage, what’s the reason for obstructive sleep apnea?A.Bad sleeping habits.B.Blocked breathing organs. C.Infection from family members.D.Unhealthy eating habits.10.What can we infer from the passage?A.Most people who have obstructive sleep apnea have been diagnosed.B.Most people who have obstructive sleep apnea realize their breathing difficulties. C.There is no need to worry about any type of snoring.D.Obstructive sleep apnea may lead to a variety of diseases.11.What will the author write about in the following paragraph of the passage?A.The dangers of obstructive sleep apnea.B.The history of American Academy of Sleep Medicine.C.The importance for people to realize the existence of obstructive sleep apnea.D.The scientific methods for treating obstructive sleep apnea.Back in 1933, a man called George Spicer and his wife were driving along a road near Loch Ness. Suddenly, a weird animal with a long neck crossed in front of the car...or so the Spicers claimed. Ever since then, the Loch Ness monster has been a household name, although myths of a terrifying creature in the Loch date back to the Dark Ages.Since the Spicers’ experience, scientists have been wondering whether such an animalmight really exist in the Loch’s murky depths. Research teams have patiently watched Loch Ness’s surface for weeks at a time, submarines have explored its deep, dark waters, and underwater cameras and sonar have searched for it. Most of this work happened from the 1960s to 1980s, during a ‘golden age’ of Nessie hunting.Yet no monster has been found. Nevertheless, there have been more than 1,000 reported sightings in total, and every year tourists visit the Loch in the hope of catching a glimpse of a monster. But there is no reason to think that anyone has really seen Nessie. Instead, they have seen seals, birds, swimming deer and unusual waves.Despite this, the idea that Nessie might be real is still popular. So earlier this year, Professor Neil Gemmell from the University of Otage in New Zealand led a trip to Loch Ness, using a new scientific technique to find Nessie and solve the mystery once and for all. He set out to search for something called ‘environmental DNA’, or eDNA for short.EDNA has helped us find all kinds of rare, shy and even extinct animals and plants, so Gemmell wondered if eDNA could be collected from samples of water taken from different points of Loch Ness. He put together a research team, raised the money needed to complete the project , and set to work. Right now, we are still waiting for the results from Gemmell’s project. But even if eDNA for Nessie is not discovered, the project is still useful, because it could help provide a complete list of every plant and animal species living in Loch Ness. 12.What’s the meaning of the underlined word?A.Uneasy.B.Dark.C.Dizzy.D.Untrue. 13.Which method was not used during the 1960s and 1980s to prove the existence of the Loch Ness monster?A.Observation over the Loch Ness surface.B.Submarine exploration.C.Fishing activities.D.Underwater technical devices. 14.What can we infer from the passage?A.The Loch Ness monster has been witnessed many times.B.People who claim to have seen the Loch Ness monster may have been mistaken. C.EDNA was used for the first time in the search for the Loch Ness monster.D.The project of Gemmell will be considered a failure if evidence of Nessie is not found. 15.What’s the best title for this passage?A.Will We Ever Find Nessie?B.Are the Sightings of Nessie Real?C.Return of the ‘Golden Age’ for Hunting the Sea Monster.D.New Evidence of Nessie Found by New Zealand Scientists.二、七选五A research paper is a long essay in which writers present their perspective on a topic using independent sources. It is a proven fact that finding reliable and valid sources for research papers is your first and primary task. ____16____ Here’s how to gather the information from sources before you start writing.Is the author a respected authority in the field?The credibility of an author is very important in determining the quality of sources.____17____ But such claims must be confirmed. Look for the author’s academic background, and professional associations. You can search the web for the author or search DISCOVERY to see what also the author has written.Is the publisher reputable?University and academic presses publish high-quality material that has beenpeer-reviewed. Experts assess the merits of the paper before it is published, which ensures its quality. ____18____ Government or educational sites — ones that have names with gov or edu — are usually reliable.Does the source contain any bias?Bias is not necessarily disqualifying, but you need to determine whether the source favors a certain side of an issue. For example, if an article says that petrol companies do not represent a danger to the environment, check what other sources are cited. If most of the sources are from oil companies, there is probably bias.____19____In general, sources should be within the past 10 years for subjects in which information changes quickly (science, technology, medicine). Consider whether the age of a source adversely affects its usefulness to your research. No matter what the date of publication is, it is your responsibility to be sure that all of your sources contain information that is relevant and accurate.Now that you have your notes from your sources, it is time to write your first draft, and you must include specific information from your source to support your ideas. ____20____— but if you can collect the right resources from the start, you’re halfway there!A.How current is the information?B.Does the author agree or disagree with my ideas?C.If you are using a website, make sure it is reputable.D.Putting together a top-grade essay is a demanding task.E.Many people on the Internet describe themselves as experts.F.Although it is not a simple or quick process, it is possible to do it on your own. G.When using a computer for searching sources, make sure to respect the library’s policies.三、完形填空When Jacob Kohut finally had some time off during his 12-hour shift standing guard outside the U. S.

2021年高三上学期9月质量检测考试英语试题含答案第一部分阅读理解(共两节,满分 40分)第一节 (共 15 小题;每小题2分,满分30分)阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A,B,C 和 D)中,选出最佳选项。

AUsing too much water or throwing rubbish into our rivers are clear ways that humans can put our water supply in danger, but we also affect our water supply in less obvious ways. You may wonder how paving (铺砌) a road can lead to less useable fresh water. A major part of the water we use every day is groundwater. Groundwater does not e from lakes or rivers. It es from underground. The more roads and parking lots we pave, the less water can flow into the ground to bee groundwater.Human activity is not responsible for all water shortages (短缺).Drier climates are of course more likely to have droughts (干旱) than areas with more rainfall, but in any case, good management can help to make sure there is enough water to meet our basic needs.Thinking about the way we use water every day can make a big difference, too. In the United States, a family of four can use 1.5 tons of water a day! This shows how much we depend on water to live, but there's a lot we can do to lower the number.You can take steps to save water in your home. To start with, use the same glass for your drinking water all day. Wash it only once a day. Run your dishwasher (洗碗机) only when it is full. Help your parents fix anyleaks in your home. You can even help to keep our water supply clean by recycling batteries instead of throwing them away.1.Which of the following is most likely to lead to less groundwater? A. Using river water. B. Paving parking lots.C. Throwing batteries away.D. Throwing rubbish into lakes. 2.What can be inferred from the text?A.It takes a lot of effort to meet our water needs.B.All water shortages are due to human behavior.C.There is much we can do to reduce family size.D.The average family in America makes proper use of water.3.The last paragraph is intended to ________.A. show us how to fix leaks at homeB. tell us how to run a dishwasherC. suggest what we do to save water at homeD. prove what drinking glass is best for us4.The text is mainly about ________.A. why paving roads reduces our waterB. how human activity affects our water supplyC. why droughts occur more in dry climatesD. how much we depend on water to liveBThere are many ways to find a job. It can be as easy as walking intoa neighborhood store to look at its announcement board . Local stores often have areas where people can put small signs telling what kind of service they need or can provide. Such services include caring for children or cleaning houses.Or,job searchers can look in the newspaper. Local newspapers have employment announcements placed by panies seeking workers.Another popular tool for finding jobs is the Internet. For example, people in four hundred and fifty cities around the world can use the Craigslist Web site to buy objects,meet people or find a job. Craigslist says that it receives two million new job listings each month.Another useful way to find a job is through a college or university. For example,students at the University of Texas in Austin can go to the Career Exploration Center to get help in finding a job. Of course,looking for a job requires knowing what kind of work you want to do. For example,there is a book called "What Color is Your Parachute(降落伞)?”by Richard Bolles. This book has been helping people choose a career(职业)since it was first published in 1970.Some experts also help people find jobs. Susan ler owns a panycalled California Career Services in Los Angeles.She says her pany helps people find jobs by first helping them understand their strengths, goals and interests. Then she provides them with methods and resources to help them find the right job.5. What is the passage mainly about?A. Finding a job.B. College students' part-time jobs.C. Craigslist Web site.D. The relation between study and work6. By logging on the Craigslist Web site,you can .A. sell your old thingsB. do some shopping onlineC. create your own announcement boardD. get useful information about 450 cities7. “What Color is Your Parachute?”is a book which gives tips to those who want to .A. work on the airplaneB. buy a parachuteC. publish a bookD. find a suitable job8. How many ways of finding a job are mentioned in the passage?A. Three.B. Four.C. Five.D. Six.CTeenagers who spend hours in front of the television may have a poorer diet as young adults.A study,which included nearly 1,400 high school students,found those who watched TV for five hours or more per day had less healthy diets than peers(同龄人)five years later. Why does this happen? Should the parents take any measures?On the one hand,people who spend a lot of time in front of the TV, especially teenagers,may snack more,and that may affect their long-term diet quality.On the other hand,TV ads for fast food,sweets and snacks tempt teenagers to eat more of those foods. And TV time might also replace exercise time for some kids.Lead researcher Dr. Daheia J. Barr-Anderson,of the University of Minnesota in Minneapolis,told Reuters Health a clear correlation between TV time during high school and diet quality in young adulthood. While the heaviest TV viewers were eating the most junk food , those who'd watched less than two hours per day had the highest intake(吸收)of fruits,vegetables, whole grains and high-calcium food. In her opinion,parentsshould limit and monitor TV viewing.As far as I am concerned,children should watch no more than two hours of television per day. And parents should set a good example by eating right,being physically active and curbing their own TV time.9. What's the best title for this passage?A. People should keep away from TV to keep healthy.B. Teenagers' TV time may affect their diets later.C. Why do teenagers like TV"D. Parents' own habits may affect children later.10. According to the passage,heavy TV viewers tend to_.A. eat more fruitsB. eat less junk foodC. take in fewer vegetablesD. take in high-calcium food11. What suggestion does the author give the parents?A. They must watch TV with their children.B. They should forbid the children to watch TV.C. They should pay attention to nutrition in diets.D. They can't do what they don't want their children to do.12. The underlined word“curbing" in the last paragraph can be replacedbyA. addingB. checkingC. controllingD. stoppingDWhen visiting New York City with your kids,there are many things to do with kids that will entertain their spirits and feed their minds.The Whispering GalleryMake your way to the Whispering Gallery.

Once inside the gallery,place one person facing the corner at one end of the room and then place another person facing the corner at the opposite end.

ADear Alfred,I want to tell you how important your help is to my life.Growing up, I had people telling me I was too slow, though, with an IQ of 150 at 17, I’m anything but stupid. The fact was that I was found to have ADHD(注意力缺陷多动障碍). Anxious all the time, I was unable to keep focused for more than an hour at a time.However, when something did interest me, I could bee absorbed. In high school, I became curious about the puter, and built my first website. Moreover, I pleted the senior course of puter Basics, plus five relevant pre-college courses.While I was exploring my curiosity, my disease got worse. I wanted to go to college after high school, but couldn’t . So, I was killing my timeat home until June xx when I discovered the online puter courses of your training center.Since then, I have taken courses like Data Science and Advanced Mathematics. Currently, I’m learning your Probability course. I have hundreds of printer paper, covered in self-written notes from your video. This has given me a purpose.Last year, I spent all my time looking for a job where, without dealing with the public , I could work alone, but still have a team to talk to. Luckily, I discovered the job—Data Analyst—this month and have been going full steam ahead. I want to prove that I can teach myself a respectful profession, without going to college, and be just as good as, if not better than, my petitors.Thank you. You’ve given me hope that I can follow my heart. For the first time, I feel good about myself because I’m doing something, not because someone told me I was doing good. I feel whole.This is why you’re saving my life.Yours,Tanis1. W hy didn’t Tanis go to college after high school?A. She had learned enough about puter scienceB. She had more difficulty keeping focusedC. She preferred taking online coursesD. She was too slow to learn2. As for the working environment, Tanis prefers____.A . working by herself B. dealing with the publicC. peting against othersD. staying with ADHD students3. Tanis wrote this letter in order to_____.A. explain why she was interested in the puterB. share the ideas she had for her professionC.show how grateful she was to the centerD. describe the courses she had taken so farB“Did you hear what happened to Adam Last Friday?”Lindsey whispers to Tori.With her eyes shining, Tori brags, “You bet I did, Sean t old me two days ago. ”Who are Lindsey and Tori talking about? It just happened to be yours truly, Adam Freedmam. I can tell you that what they are saying is (a) not nice and (b) not even true. Still, Lindsey and Tori aren’t very different from most students here at Linton High School, including me. Many of our conversations are gossip(闲话). I have noticed three effects of gossip: it can hurt people, it can give gossipers a strange kind of satisfaction, and it can cause social pressures in a group.An important negative effect of gossip is that it can hurt the person being talked about. Usually, gossip spreads information about a topic- breakups, trouble at home, even dropping out-that a person would rather keep secret. The more embarrassing or shameful the secret is, the juicier the gossip it makes. Probably the worst type of gossip is the absolute lie. People often think of gossipers as harmless, but cruel lies can cause pain.If we know that gossip can be harmful, then why do so many of us do it? That answer lies in another effect of gossip: the satisfaction it gives us. Sharing the latest rumor(传言)can make a person feel important because he or she knows something that others don’t. Similarly, hearing the latest rumor can make a person feel like part of the “in group.”In other words,gossip is satisfying because it gives people a sense of belonging or even superiority(优越感).Gossip also can have a third effect: it strengthens unwritten, unspoken rules about how people should act. Professor David Wilson explains that gossip is important in policing behaviors in a group. Translated into high school terms, this means that if everybody you hang around with is laughing at what John wore or what Jane said, then you can bet that wearing or saying something similar will get you the same kind of negative attention. The do’s and don’ts conveyed through gossip will never show up in any student handbook.The effects of gossip vary depending on the situation. The next time you feel the urge to spread the latest news, think about why you want to gossip and what effects your “juicy story” might have.4. The author uses a conversation at the beginning of the passage to ______.A. introduce a topicB. present an argumentC. describe the charactersD. clarify his writing purpose5. In the autho r’s opinion, many people like to gossip because it______.A. gives them a feeling of pleasureB. help them to make more friendsC. makes them better at telling storiesD. enables them to meet important people6. Professor David Wilson think that gossip can ______.A. provide students with written rulesB. help people watch their own behaviorsC. force school to improve student handbooksD. attract the police’s attention to group behaviors7. What advice does the author give in the passage?A. Never bee a gossiperB. Stay away from gossipersC. Don’t let gossip turn into liesD. Think twice before you gossip.CFor many years, I was convinced that my suffering was due to my size .I believed that when the weight disappeared, it would take old wounds , hurts and rejections with it .Many weight-conscious people also mistakenly believe that changing our bodies will fix everything. Perhaps our worst mistake is believing thatbeing thin equals being loved , being special , and being cherished . We fantasize about what it will be like when we reach the long-awaited goal .We work very hard to realize this dream . Then , at last , we find ourselves there .But we often gain back what we have lost . Even so , we continue to believe that next time it will be different . Next time , we will keep it off . Next time , being thin will finally fulfill its promise of everlasting happiness , self-worth , and , of course , love .It took me a long while to realize that there was something more for me to learn about beauty . Beauty standards vary with culture . In Samoa a woman is not considered attractive unless she weighs more than 200 pounds . More importantly , if it’s happiness that we want , why not put our en ergy there rather than on the size of our body ? Why not look inside ? Many of us strive hard to change our body , but in vain . We have to find a way to live fortably inside our body and make friends with and cherish ourselves . When we change our attitudes toward ourselves , the whole world changes . 8.The passage tries to tell us the importance of___________.A.body size B.different beauty standardsC.culture difference D.attitudes toward life9.What does the word “everything” in paragraph 2 mean ?A.The whole world B.All the properties .C.All the problems . D.The absolute truth .10.What can be inferred about the author ?A.The author is a Samoan .B.The author succeeded in losing weight .C.The author probably got wounded in wars or accidents .D.The author has been troubled by her/his weight .11.According to the author , what is the mon view of those who have lost some weight first and gained it back later ?A.They feel optimistic about future plans on weight control.B.They are indifferent to the regained weight .C.The feel angry about the regained weight .D.They think they should give up their future plans on weight control .DA long weekend is a great opportunity to do something a little different.Many people use a long weekend for a getaway, a short trip to leave the stress of their everyday lives behind and explore, learn, or relax.Hotel RomanceMany hotels and resorts feature something special to start the getaway, such as champagnes (香槟酒), flowers, or a fruit basket in the room on arrival. Getaway packages usually include a room with something special, a heart shaped bed, for example. Additional benefits could be room service meals or other private dining, plus tickets or discounts for local attractions.Visit a SpaSpa getaways can take place at a location that focuses only on spa services or at a hotel that offers a spa as one of its features. Some spas emphasize treatments fit for their geographic area or a local attraction.A spa in a grape growing region might provide grape juice masks, or a hotel near a hot spring could offer mineral baths. Most spas offer a range of massage (按摩), health and beauty treatments, so a spa getaway can be relaxing with other benefits.Learn a SkillA long weekend may not be enough time to bee an expert at something new, but it provides a way for people to begin their explorations. Some organizations offer intensive(集中的)courses that last two or three days. People with special interests can get away from their routines while learning such things as how to make beer, speak a new language, or take better photos.Help OthersSome organizations cooperate with businesses to have acmodations and activities for short-term volunteers. Most volunteer vacations involve ecology friendly or charity activities. A volunteer getaway is a way to relieve stress and help others at the stone time.Stay in a National ParkFor those who want to relax in a rural environment, a national park fits the bill. Most national parks provide camping areas for tents and trailers. Several have cabins (小屋) within the parks available to rent.A getaway to a national park provides privacy, stress relief, and the time to get to know some important natural resources.12. The underlined word "getaway’’ in this pass age most probablymeans_____.A. an exciting explorationB. an interesting locationC. a short vacationD. an unforgettable experience13. It can be learned from the text that_____.A. spas are offered in the tourist attractions all over the countryB. intensive courses of some organizations help people get away from homeC. helping others at weekend makes people feel more stressfulD. people may get close to nature in a national park14. Which of the following can be rented in a national park?A. Cabins.B. Trailers.C. Camping areas.D. Tents.15. The best title of the passage can be_________.A. Away from Our Busy WorkB. Good Ways to Relieve StressC. Enjoy Life and Help OthersD. Long Weekend Getaway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。

“I never expected that I would be so busy. Why can’t there be 25 hours in a day?” complained Liu Ran in Hong Kong as mid-term exams were going on.The 18-year-old was Shandong Province’s top scorer in this year’s college entrance examination. After graduating from Tai’an No.1 High School, she chose the Chinese University of Hong Kong(香港中文大学) , although both Peking University and Tsinghua University promised her a place.“I want to experience a more international school and social life in Hong Kong. I’m majoring in journalism, so Hong Kong will surely help widen my horizons,” Liu said.It is two months since Liu first set foot on Hong Kong. She missed home a lot at the beginning, because of the food and language problems.“The canteen offers mostly Western or Guangdong food, but it’s convenient to cook for ourselves in our dorm if we like. People speak Cantonese and almost all classes are in English,” Liu explained.Her English and Cantonese are now both improving, but she still needs more time to adapt to the new environment.“I’m happy that I made the right decision to study here. With a mix of the Eastern and Western cultures, there is so much to discover and learn,” s he said.Liu has 18 credit hours(学分) of classes every week and 23 non-credit hours every other week. She has signed up for four associations including the Chinese Language Debating Team and the drama club. Essays, book reports and presentations also take plenty of time to prepare. And , of course, there are various parties to attend.“I wasn’t a party animal before, but that may be interesting part of college. I sense myself changing,” Liu said.(1)Liu Ran chose the Chinese University of Hong Kong, because___________.A.she couldn’t be admitted to Peking UniversityB.Hong Kong is a good placeC.she wants to be far from her homeland[D.the Chinese University of Hong Kong can widen her horizons(2)According to the last paragraph, we can infer______________________________.A.now Liu Ran is an animalB.Liu Ran hates the busy life in the Chinese University of Hong KongC.Liu Ran likes the food thereD.the busy and full life makes Liu Ran feel good(3)Liu Ran had to overcome the difficulties in many aspects EXCEPT_______________. A.food nguage C.missing home D.no friends2.It was Mother's Day morning last year and I was doing my shopping at our local supermarket with my five-year-old son, Tenyson. As we were leaving, we found that only minutes earlier an elderly woman had fallen over at the entrance and had hit her head on the concrete. Her husband was with her, but there was blood everywhere and the woman was embarrassed and clearly in shock.Walking towards the scene, Tenyson became very upset about what had happened to the couple. He said to me, "Mum, it's not much fun falling over in front of everyone."At the front of the supermarket a charity(慈善)group had set up a stand selling cooked sausages and flowers to raise funds. Tenyson suggested that we should buy the lady a flower. "It will make her feel better," he said. I was amazed that he'd come up with such a sweet idea. So we went over to the flower seller and asked her if we could buy a flower for the lady to cheer her up. "Just take it," she replied. "I can't take your money for such a wonderful gesture."By now paramedics(救援人员)had arrived, and were attending the injured woman. As we walked up to her, my son became intimidated by all the blood and medical equipment. He said he was just too scared to go up to her.Instead I gave the flower to the woman's husband and told him, "My son was very upset for your wife and wanted to give her this flower to make her feel better."At that, the old man started crying and said, "Thank you so much, you have a wonderful son. Happy Mother's Day to you."The man then bent down and gave his wife the flower, telling her who it was from. Though badly hurt and shaken, the old lady looked up at Tenyson with love in her eyes and gave him a little smile.(1)What does the author intend to tell us?A.One can never be too careful.B.Actions speak louder than words.C.Love begins with a little smile.D.A small act of kindness brings a great joy.(2)Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A.The elderly woman was knocked down by Tenyson.B.Tenyson's idea of buying a flower gained his mother's support.C.Tenyson's care for the elderly woman puzzled the flower seller.D.The elderly woman was moved to tears by Tenyson's gesture.(3)The underlined word "intimidated" in the fourth paragraph probably means "______".A.astonishedB.struckC.frightenedD.excited(4)What would be the best title for the passage?A.Flower's PowerB.Mother's DayC.An Accidental InjuryD.An Embarrassing Moment3. Hey, ladies! It's summer again and it's time for a new you! No more make﹣up, no more pretending! Yes, that's right! It's time to stop making ourselves beautiful for the camera, and start posting confident pictures without all the make﹣up and extra tricks we add onto ourselves in the hope of appearing more attractive and beautiful. Because believe it or not, we already are!After we wash our face and go to bed, it is not so perfect. You know it the face we should confidently be showing to the world! Who cares if you have pimples(面痕)or your eyes look small, or if you have crow's feet? Guess what? Those are actually what make you such a beautifully grown woman. And any person who doesn't think so is just not as strong as you.Nowadays we are so prone to do anything and everything to make us look as young and perfect as possible. Yet the troth is, by doing this, we are actually making our tree skin get worse and badly affected by all the junk we put on. We are making ourselves believe that by changing our appearance we will be more accepted and seem more attractive to other people. And yet, our final goal is to find that without all of the make﹣up. What kind of twisted(扭曲的)game are we really playing with ourselves?So I would like to make a suggestion for all women out there to give yourself a break at least this summer. Take a couple of pictures without all of that make﹣up on. You don't need it every single day, especially not this hot summer! You'll be surprised that the more confident you are about showing the real side of you, the more attractive you will be to everyone else.Yes, the saying, "Beauty comes from within" is an old one, definitely still holds some troth today. So be brave, carefree, and make﹣up free! Let the world see you for who you really are!(1)The author thinks that ladies should show others________.A. their crow's feetB. their beautiful picturesC. their real face with confidenceD. their attractive appearance.(2)What does the author think of adding make﹣up to our face?________A. It makes perfect images.B. It's really meaningless.C. It makes true images go outdated.D. It's hard to achieve what we wish..(3)What is the author's purpose of quoting the old saying?________A. To declare it's what one really is that matters.B. To show the importance of adding make﹣upC. To give us some examples of adding make﹣up.D. To tell us not to neglect those old sayings..(4)What is the topic of this text?________A. Spending more time being with families and friends.B. Not putting on any make﹣up on our face this summer.C. Paying enough attention to ourselves in this summer.D. Showing the beautiful side of ourselves to others.4. It is generally believed that people act the way they do because of their personalities and attitudes.They recycle their garbage because they care about the environment.They pay $5 for a caramel brulee latte because they like expensive coffee drinks.It's undeniable that behavior comes from our inner character, but in many instances we also draw inferences about who we are, as suggested by the social psychologist Daryl Bern.By observing our own behavior, we can be strangers to ourselves.If we knew our own minds, why would we need to guess what our preferences are from our behavior? If our minds were an open book, we would know exactly how much we care about the environment or like lattes.Actually, we often need to look to our behavior to figure out who we are.Moreover, we don't just use our behavior to learn about our particular types of character ﹣we infer characters that weren't there before.Our behavior is often shaped by little pressures around us, which we fail to recognize.Maybe we recycle because our wives and neighbors would disapprove if we didn't.Maybe we buy lattes in order to impress the people around us.We should not mistakenly believe that we always behave as a result of some inner character.Whatever pressures there can be or inferences one can make, people become what they do, though it may not be in ________ with their true desires.Therefore, we should all bear in mind Kurt Vonnegut's advice: "We are what we pretend to be, so we must be careful about what we pretend to be."(1)According to the text,personalities and attitudes________.A.result from one's habitsB.affect one's surroundingsC.reflect one's tasteD.determine one's behavior.(2)Which of the following would Daryl Bern most probably agree with?________A.The return of a wallet can indicate one's honesty.B.A kind person will offer his seat to senior citizens.C.One recycles plastics to reduce the carbon footprints.D.One buys latte due to his deep affection for coffee..(3)Which of the following best explains "compliance" underlined in Paragraph 4?________A.Harmony.B.Challenge.C.Strength.D.Memory..(4)What does the author mainly discuss in the text?________A.Preferences and habits.B.Behavior and personalities.C.Attitudes and preferences.D.Personalities and attitudes.二、七选五)5. 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。

I use Duolingo to practice Spanish and German. In the app, you can access resources such as Duolingo Stories, which can allow you to check your comprehension skills as you go. I also subscribe to Premium for $10 per month which includes an ad-free experience and downloadable lessons.MemriseOne of my favorite parts of Memrise is its short videos about how real locals express different phrases in conversation. A few lessons are available for free daily, but the full program is accessible if you subscribe to Memrise Pro. There are three plans—one month for $9, a year for $30 or three months for $19.BusuuWhen you sign up for Busuu, you select the language you want to learn, and the app helps you determine how advanced you are with it and why you want to learn it, and to what level. From there, you set a daily study goal. Premium costs about $6 per month for a year.LiricaIf you listen to any song enough, you'll learn all the words through repetition, even if they're in a different language. But how do you figure out what they mean? This is where Lirica comes in. This app is unique in how it approaches teaching Spanish. Instead of traditional teaching methods for learning a language, Lirica uses popular music by Latin artists to help you learn the Spanish language and grammar. Lirica has a one-week free trial and then it's about $4 per month.1. Which app is best for learning multiple languages at a time?A. Lirica.B. Busuu.C. Memrise.D. Duolingo.2.

He is giving up his life as a businessman for a life of helping others. He is trading his beautiful farmhouse in England for life in a mud hut in Uganda, East Africa.Pedley admits that he has notalways led a very positive life. At times he drank too much and got in trouble with the law. “I’ve always put the pursuit of money in front of everything else. As long as I was all right, I didn’t care who I was hurting, ” says Pedley.But a visit to Uganda in 2007 gave Pedley a new outlook on life. He was amazed at what he saw and how much the people there appreciated the work he was doing. “I worked there for a few days and these people who have nothing were thanking me by giving me bags of potatoes, which are a fortune for them,” he said.Now Pedley is selling his business, his $1.5 million farmhouse, and his expensive car — and moving into a hut made of mud and boards in a small Ugandan village. There he will help run an organization that hopes to improve the quality of life for people in the village of Kigazi. He will help to build schoolrooms for children and tanks to hold clean water for villagers. Today, people in Kigazi must walk two miles to a hospital, so Pedley will help to build doctors’ offices, too.Pedley’s organization will also work with English teenagers who are in trouble. The teens will be sent to a “camp” in Uganda that Pedley will run. The teens will live in mud huts and help to build water, health, and education facilities for kids in Kigazi, many of whom have lost their parents to poverty or disease. Pedley hopes the teens will see a side of life that might help them turn around their own lives and set them on a new and more positive path.4. Which of the following best describes Pedley’s life in the past?A. Negative.B. Colorful.C. Independent.D. Selfish.5. What will Pedley do in the small Ugandan village?A. Do business with the local people.B. Help farmers increase potato output.C. Assist villagers with construction work.D. Introduce tools to improve English teaching.6. Why will Pedley work with English teenagers in trouble?A. To encourage them to make friends with locals.B. To inspire them to live a more positive life.C. To train them to become doctors in the future.D. To make them learn about different cultures.7. What is the best title for the text?A. From millionaire to mud hutB. A life-changing adventureC.

In some cases,babies,infants (婴儿)and teenagers have been admitted to hospital in north Wales alone.The Children’s Sleep Charity said many children were suffering from lack of sleep mainly because of technology use. Public Health Wales said sleep was as important to a child’s health as healthy eating and exercise,and children with poor sleep patterns were more likely to be fat.Statistics obtained (获得) under the Freedom of Information Act by BBC Wales found at least 408 children have been admitted to hospitals across Wales suffering from sleep disorders since March 2013.Children aged between 0 and 4 made up the highest number of inpatients (住院病人),with some newborns being treated for sleep-related problems from the day of birth.Vicki Dawson,who set up the Children’s Sleep Charity (CSC),said sleepless nights were putting both children and parents in anxiety. “Their weight and growth may also be affected as well as their mental health,”she said.Teachers said children showing signs of sleep shortage and tiredness in class were a concern as they couldn’t concentrate for long periods.Psychologist Amy McClelland,of Sleep Wales,saida common problem was that children were “over excited”before bed and that families should get back to basics. “Think 1950s family home.

With so many 17 to pay, I was wondering what was going to happen to my family.I got off the bus when I heard piano music and singing rising above the noise of the18 . I walked a bit slower, trying to find out where it was ing from. Through the 19I saw a young lady sitting at a piano with a box next to her.She was singing songs about love and her sweet voice 20 me a bit. Then I stood there watching her playing, thinking that it must take 21 to perform on her own in front of hundreds of people she didn’t know.She might have felt my 22 for she occasionally looked in my direction.By now I was telling myself that I could at least tell her how good she sounded. I walked 23 and put some money in her box and she expressed her thanks with a smile on her face.I asked her 24 , “Why are you playing the piano in the middle of this crowded place?”She explained to me that she sees so many 25 people in the world that she is trying to relieve the pain by 26 motivational music.Instead of continuing my way home, I said to her, “I have been going through a27 time lately, but you’ve made me 28 again.”“I’m happy that I could be 29 to you,” she replied. “Why are you so sad?”I told her my story and said, “I’m not so 30 about what to do….”“You see, here’s the 31 ,” she responded. “When you were walking, your head was down.” She looked me in the eyes and went on, “Don’t look defeated, because32 es in different ways and if your head is down you might never see it. You should33 more … lift your head up.”I was really 34 by what she said!

We all have a mental life and therefore have some idea about what this means, even though it can be studied in rats or monkeys as well as in people and the concept remains difficult to understand.Like most psychologists, William James was particularly interested in human psychology, which he thought consisted of certain basic elements: thoughts and feelings, a physical world which exists in time and space, and a way of knowing about these things. For each of us, this knowledge is primarily personal and private. It es from our own thoughts, feelings and experience of the world, and may or may not be influenced by scientific facts about things. For this reason, it is easy for us to make judgments about psycho1ogical matters using our own experience as a standard. We behave as amateur psychologists when we offer opinions on plex psychological phenomena. However, problems arise when two people understand these things differently. Formal psychology attempts to provide methods for deciding which explanations are most likely to be correct, or for determining the circumstances under which each applies. The work of psychologists helps us distinguish betweeninside information, which is subjective, and may be prejudiced and unreliable, and the facts: between our predictions and what is “true” in scientific terms.Psychology, as defined by William James, is about the mind or brain, but although psychologists do study the brain, we do not understand nearly enough about its workings to he able to prehend the part that it plays in the experience and expression of our hopes, fears, and wishes, or in our behavior during experiences as varied as giving birth or watching a football match. Indeed, it is rarely possible to study the brain directly. So, psychologists have discovered more by studying our behavior, and by using their observations to obtain hypotheses (假设) about what is going on inside us._____________________________________________________________________...36. The first paragraph is mainly about _________.A. the founder of modem psychologyB. the definition of psychologyC. the plexity of psychologyD. the influence of psychology37. From Paragraph 2, we can know that problems arise because _________.A. of the difference between inside information and the factsB. of different thoughts and feelings about psychologyC. people usually make judgments based on their own ideasD. amateur psychologists cannot use scientific terms38. According to the passage, psychologists study the brain mainly _________.A. in a direct wayB. with their own experienceC. by observing how it worksD. by watching people’s behavior39. Which of the following can be the first sentence in the fourth paragraph?A. Psychology is also about the ways people use their mental abilities to operate in the world around them.B. William James is considered to be the greatest psychologist in the 1890s.C. Psychology suggests that living beings adapt to a changing environment so that they can survive.D. It is important for psychologists, as well as ordinary people, to be, aware of the reasons.BCDABItem 1: JK Rowling, the Harry Potter author, has signed a publishing deal with Little Brown, to release her first ever novel for adults. The deal means that Rowling’s long-standing relationship with Bloomsbury, the London-based publisher that launched the Harry Potter books, has e to an end, at least in terms of new works by the author. Rowling, who is worth an estimated £530 million, said that the new novel will be nothing like the Harry Potter series, which sold over 30 million copies in the UK alone. She said that with the move from children’s to adult fiction, a move to a new publisher seemed like a logical step. [More]Item 2: China's hurdler Liu Xiang was disqualified Thursday at the Stockholm indoor athletics tournament due to false start, giving his rival Dayron Robles of Cuba an easy win of 7.66 seconds. Liu was not willing to explain the reason of his false start, but he told Xinhua that it was not related to his foot injury. Another Cuban Orlando Ortega followed in 7.68 seconds and Balazs Baji of Hungary stood third in 7.70 seconds. Last Saturday, Liu won the men's 60m hurdle final in 7.41 seconds at the Birmingham indoor tournament, setting a new Asian record. He said Wednesday that he hoped to have an even better performance than he did in Birmingham at the Stockholm indoor tournament. [More] I tem 3: Former NBA star and current Bobcats owner Michael Jordan filed suitin a Chinese court against Qiaodan Sports pany Limited, a sportswear and footwear manufacturer, for the use of his name without permission. Jordan says "This plaint is not about money, it's about principle and protecting my name." The Chinese pany has registered and uses the name "Qiaodan". Jordan has been known in China since he gained widespread popularity in the mid-1980s. [More] Item 4: A muter train crashed at a busy central station in Buenos Aires on Wednesday, killing 49 passengers and injuring more than 600 people, the deadliest in a series of train accidents in Argentina over the past years. The train crashed at about 8:30 a.m. at its final stop at the Once Station, not far from downtown Buenos Aires. The train was carrying more than 800 passengers and traveling at an estimated 16 miles per hour when it entered the station, slamming into the barrier of the platform, destroying the engine.

What is the final result of Liu Xiang’s Stockholm indoor athletics tournament?A.7.41B. 7.66C. 7. 68D. no result42. Which of the statement is true according to the passage?A. It is said that JK Rowling is worth about £530 billion.B. Liu Xiang’s false start is because of his foot injury.C. Jordan plains not only about money but protecting his name.D. The train’ speed is about 16 miles per hour when it entered the station.CDDCCatch yourself daydreaming while washing the dishes again? If this happens often you probably have a pretty capable working memory and a sharper brain, new research suggests.This mind wandering, it seems, actually gives your working memory a workout. Working memory is the mental work space that allows the brain to juggle multiple thoughts at the same time. The more working memory a person has, the more daydreaming they can do without forgetting the task at hand.Researchers studied groups of people from the University of Wisconsin-Madison munity, ranging in age from 18 to 65. The volunteers were asked to perform simple tasks, like pressing a button every time they took a breath or clicking in response to a letter popping up on a puter screen; these tasks were so easy that their minds were likely to wander, the researchers figured.The researchers checked in periodically, asking the participants if their minds were on task or wandering. When the task was over, they measured each participant's working memory capacity by having them remember letters while doing math questions. Though all participants performed well on the task, the researchers noticed that the individuals who indicated their minds had wandered more than others also scored higher on the working memory test.“What this study seems to suggest is that, when circumstances for the task aren't very difficult, people who have additional working memory resources allocate them to think about things other than what they're doing,” said Jonathan Smallwood, a study researcher of the Max Planck Institute for Human Cognitve and Brain Science.When our minds run out of working memory, these off-topic thoughts can take the main stage without us consciously meaning them to; for instance, arriving at home with no memory of the actual trip, or suddenly realizing that they've turned several pages in a book without understandingany of the words.“It's almost like your attention was so absorbed in the mind wandering that there wasn't any left over to remember your goal to read,” study researcher Daniel Levinson, said in a statement.People with overall higher working memory were better able to stay focused when the task at hand required it. Those who had low working memory often had their thoughts drift away from the task, and did less well at it.The findings add to past research suggesting these mind drifts can be positive moments. For instance, daydreaming has often been associated with creativity—researchers think that our most creative and inventive moments e when daydreaming. It's likely that the most intelligent among us also have high levels of working memory, Levinson noted.43. The word “juggle” in the second paragraph can be replaced by “________”.A. handleB. searchC. understandD. distribute44. What can be concluded from Jonathan Smallwood's words?A. People who often have daydreams probably own a pretty capable working memory.B. On the working memory test, people with wandering minds will get high score.C. Absorbed in the mind wandering, your attention left no space for your goal.D. Dealing with some easy jobs, people with higher working memory will daydream.45. What is the best title of the passage?A. Mind drifts are always positive.B. Daydreaming is good for the mind.C. Creative moments e with working memory.D. The more daydreaming, the more effectively one works.ADBDDo you remember the good old days? Innocent times spent sharing documents and executable files without a care in the world. Okay, every month or so you might encounter a boot sector virus —but they were easy to deal with even if the anti-virus software didn't pick them up.But those long lazy summers disappeared too fast. Macro viruses made Information Technology (IT) administrators grow up fast as they realized there was a type of virus which could spread very quickly throughout an organization. It wasn't unusual to find hundreds of puters within personal pany infected by viruses transmitted via email attachments. The IT staff were amongst the fittest departments in your pany, running from Personal puter (PC) to the next cleaning them up.There had to be a better way. panies now realize that viruses aren't "urban myths", and can have a serious impact on their operations. They invest in anti-virus software on the desktops, servers and email gateways and even put in place procedures to ensure their anti-virus is up-to-date with the very latest detection routines.It sounds like panies have put in place adequate defenses to protect against viruses. But have they?Anti-virus software detects most of the viruses your users are likely to encounter —often without the user even knowing. However, the software must be updated regularly, preferably daily in any large pany. Even then, a very new virus can infect your users. With the rapid transmission of files through networks and the Internet, a virus can spread a considerable distance before it can be identified and protected against. Fortunately, only a few viruses ever do this but the likes of Melissa and the Love Bug can inflict serious damage before their progress is stopped. Whilst employees bee suddenly aware during the ensuing media excitement, they soon forget about the virus threat as thestories disappear from the news headlines.This is the danger. placency can set in when there is no perceived "action" on the virus front with no global crisis, and the importance of being vigilant about viruses recedes in your users' minds. They forget what the big deal was in the first place — after all, anti-virus software deals with the viruses, doesn't it? And isn't it the IT department's job to look after this sort of thing?Before you know it your users are opening unsolicited attachments once more, downloading unauthorized software, and putting your pany's data and credibility at risk. All because the users think that they are working in a safe environment. Employees see anti-virus software, firewalls and IT departments as guarantees that their puters will work and be safe. Of course, there aren't any guarantees. Anti-virus software plays one, albeit important, part in the defense of your pany from malicious attack but the security of your puter system is only as strong as the weakest link. And that, more often than not, is the human factor.No employer wants to e across as a killjoy or an ogre. Most will willingly accept that the happiest employees are those who feel that they are respected and trusted by their employer. Many panies accept that employees will send and receive a certain amount of personal email and make the odd personal telephone call.However, the worry es when employees start risking pany security in pursuit of personal amusement. Funny screensavers and games downloaded from the Internet can seem harmless enough but they could easily be harboring a dangerous virus.Software downloaded from the net is often unlicensed and unsupported, and may cause conflicts with existing software in use at your pany. Unlicensed, pirated software is an ideal vector for a puter virus. Virus writers and hackers often use such software as the ideal "kick-start" for their virus distribution.It is vitally important that employees be educated about the virus threat but this cannot be a one-off event. The potential threat should always be in the back of an employee's mind and precautionary measures should be taken as a matter of course. There is no harm in reminding people about what could happen if they let their guard down. In the end, education is the key to a virus-free environment and this is a continual process. It may not be the most exciting thing on the agenda but it works.The lesson is simple. You can have the best software in the world protecting your pany's defenses; you can even be the biggest IT pany in the world; but without your users practicing safe puting they will always be the weakest link.46. Which of the following best summarizes the main idea of the passage?A. Employees wele the free software available on the Internet and they download a lot of it.B. Employees should be constantly warned about virus threats to ensure the normal functioning ofthe pany's puter system.C. Employees like to take advantage of the facilities in their panies to handle their personal matters.D. Employees take anti-virus software, firewalls and IT staff as guarantees for the normalfunctioning of their PCs.47."Those long lazy summers" in paragraph 2 refers to __________.A. the time when people were not too much bothered by puter virusesB. the time when people used free documents and executable filesC. the time when people could take a long nap after lunchD. the time when people frequently encountered different boot sector viruses48. It can be concluded that __________.A. puter virus threats have never been given enough attentionB. puter viruses can be avoided for good with good anti-virus softwareC. puter virus threats have always been in the mind of puter usersD. puter viruses can never be avoided even when IT staff regularly update software49. Employers are likely to do all of the following except that __________.A. they criticize their employees for what they don't do wellB. they allow their employees to make some personal telephone callsC. they do what they can to make their employees feel respected and trustedD. they allow their employees to send and receive some personal email50. The best way to minimize the negative influence that puter viruses may bring is __________.A. to get the best, up-to-date softwareB. to have the best IT departmentC. to educate puter usersD. to download free softwareBADAC四.任务型阅读Disability aids are vital to those who suffer problems with executing work with two hands. These are people who have been disabled due to some major sickness or some other problems. In order to help them carry on their work in the normal way, disability aids are manufactured. This helps them make their life a lot easier than what it would have been without these aids. The kind of disability aids that an individual might require depends on the person only. It is the problem that a person faces that decides the aids that he/she will use for carrying out their respective jobs. The following is the list of a few disability aids that e of significant use.The first and foremost aid is the stocking aid, aiding the individuals suffering from the problem of bending down to reach the foot and wear their own socks. These stocking aids have a gutter(槽) that is made up of plastic material. These gutters are shaped in a certain way along with the attachment of cotton tapes in it. The sock is then put over the gutter. The foot is placed inside the gutter. The cotton tapes help in pulling the socks up the leg and subsequently the sock. In this manner, the sock is worn by a person who has problems wearing it by bending one’s back and reaching the foot.There are openers that help the people who have problems with their hands or wrists to open bottles of ketchup, jam and other such bottles and jars that necessitates the use of hands and fingers.The third type of disability aids that es to our minds are lifts. Now what are lifts? Lifts are certain machines that help in lifting people from specific areas, such as a bathtub or a set of stairs. These lifts are of varied types and e for numerous applications. It is for the individual to decide the type that he/she requires to use.For people, who have problems in balancing their upper bodies in a stable manner, there is something known as grab rails. These grab rails are installed for those who have mobility problems in their upper bodies. These rails e in varieties of shapes, sizes and angles. These grab rails are available to home users as well, in their different variations. One can purchase and fix one to their homes according to one’s specificities. These grab rails require the act of screwing and drilling in order to fix them to their appropriate place. The prices of these rails also vary according to the variation of their shapes and sizes.A portable book holder is a much sought-after disability aid. It can be used by anybody for that matter, not just the disabled. These portable book holders are light-weight and can be easily moved about. These holders relieve the strains on one’s hands, necks and shoulders that might occur due t othe handling of a book. The holders are provided with extended legs that help in placing the reading material at suitable distance.Thus with the help of these disability aids, the old and disabled people can make their lives much more convenient and fortable that would otherwise have been a cumbersome and plex one.Theme Disability aids are important to people with disabilities (71)▲ from some major sickness or other problems.Different(72) ▲ of aidsStockingaidsThey can be used to help individuals whose bodies are not (73)▲ enough to reach their feet to put on socks by themselves.

But books don’t change,people do.And that’s whatmakes the act of rereading so rich and transformative.The beauty of rereading lies in the idea that our bond with the work is based on ourpresent mental register. It’s true, the older I get, the more I feel time has wings. But withreading, it’s all about the present. It’s about the now and what one contributes to the now,because reading is a give and take between author and reader. Each has to pull their ownweight.There are three books I reread annually The first, which I take to reading every spring isEmest Hemningway’s A Moveable Feast. Published in 1964, it’s his classic memoir of 1920s Paris.The language is almost intoxicating (令人陶醉的),an aging writer looking back on an ambitiousyet simpler time. Another is Annie Dillard’s Holy the Firm, her poetic 1975 ramble (随笔)about everything and nothing. The third book is Julio Cortazar’s Save Twilight: SelectedPoems, because poetry. And because Cortazar.While I tend to buy a lot of books, these three were given to me as gifs, whichmightadd to the meaning I attach to them. But I imagine that, while money is indeed wonderful andnecessary, rereading an author’s work is the highest currency a reader can pay them. The bestbooks are the ones that open further as time passes. But remember, it’s you that has to growand read and reread in order to better understand your friends.24. Why does the author like rereading?A.It evaluates the writer-reader relationship.B.It’s a window to a whole new world.C.It’s a substitute for drinking with a friend.D. It extends the understanding of oneself.【分值】2分【答案】D25. What do we know about the book A Moveable Feas!?A. It’s a brief account of a trip.B. It’s about Hemingway’s life as a young man.C.

He teaches reading.【分值】2分【答案】ACRace walking shares many fitness benefits with running, research shows, while most likely contributing to fewer injuries. It does, however, have its own problem.Race walkers are conditioned athletes. The longest track and field event at the Summer Olympics is the 50-kilometer race walk, which is about five miles longer than the marathon. But the sport’s rules require that a race walker’s knees stay straight through most of the leg swing and one foot remain in contact (接触) with the ground at all times. It’s this strange form that makes race walking such an attractive activity, however, says Jaclyn Norberg, an assistant professor of exercise science at Salem State University in Salem, Mass.Like running, race walking is physically demanding, she says, According to most calculations, race walkers moving at a pace of six miles per hour would burn about 800 calories(卡路里) per hour, which is approximately twice as many as they would burn walking, although fewer than running, which would probably burn about 1,000 or more calories per hour.However, race walking does not pound the body as much as running does, Dr. Norberg says. According to her research, runners hit the ground with as much as four times their body weight per step, while race walkers, who do not leave the ground, create only about 1.4 times their body weight with each step.As a result, she says, some of the injuries associated with running, such as runner’s knee, are uncommon among race walkers. But the sport’s strange form does place considerable stress on the ankles and hips, so people with a history of such injuries might want to be cautious in adopting the sport. In fact, anyone wishing to try race walking should probably first consult a coach or experienced racer to learn proper technique, she says. It takes some practice.28. Why are race walkers conditioned athletes?A. They must run long distances.B. They are qualified for the marathon.C. They have to follow special rules.D. They are good at swinging their legs.【分值】2分【答案】C29. What advantage does race walking have over running?A. It’s more popular at the Olympics.B. It’s less challenging physically.C. It’s more effective in body building.D. It’s less likely to cause knee injuries.【分值】2分【答案】D30 What is Dr. Norberg’s suggestion for someone trying race walking?A. Getting experts’ opinions.B. Having a medical checkup.C. Hiring an experienced coach.D. Doing regular exercises.【分值】2分【答案】A31.Which word best describes the author’s attitude to race walking?A. Skeptical.B. Objective.C. TolerantD. Conservative.【分值】2分【答案】BDThe connection between people and plants has long been the subject of scientific research.Recent studies have found positive effects. A study conducted in Youngstown,Ohio,for example, discovered that greener areas of the city experienced less crime.In another,employees were shown to be 15% more productive when their workplaces were decorated with houseplants.The engineers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology(MIT)have taken it a step further changing the actual composition of plants in order to get them to perform diverse,even unusual functions. These include plants that have sensors printed onto their leaves to show when they’re short of water and a plant that can detect harmful chemicals in groundwater. "We’re thinking about how we can engineer plants to replace functions of the things that we use every day,"explained Michael Strano, a professor of chemical engineering at MIT.One of his latest projects has been to make plants grow(发光)in experiments using some common vegetables. Strano’s team found that they could create a faint light for three-and-a-half hours. The light,about one-thousandth of the amount needed to read by,is just a start. The technology, Strano said, could one day be used to light the rooms or even to turn tree into self-powered street lamps.in the future,the team hopes to develop a version of the technology that can be sprayed onto plant leaves in a one-off treatment that would last the plant’s lifetime. The engineers are also trying to develop an on and off"switch"where the glow would fade when exposed to daylight.Lighting accounts for about 7% of the total electricity consumed in the US. Since lighting is often far removed from the power source(电源)—such as the distance from a power plant to street lamps on a remote highway-a lot of energy is lost during transmission(传输).Glowing plants could reduce this distance and therefore help save energy.32. What is the first paragraph mainly about?A. A new study of different plants.B. A big fall in crime rates.C. Employees from various workplaces.D. Benefits from green plants.【分值】2分【答案】D33. What is the function of the sensors printed on plant leaves by MIT engineer?A. To detect plants’ lack of waterB. To change compositions of plantsC. To make the life of plants longer.D. To test chemicals in plants.【分值】2分【答案】A34. What can we expect of the glowing plants in the future?A. They will speed up energy production.B. They may transmit electricity to the home.C. They might help reduce energy consumption.D. They could take the place of power plants.【分值】2分【答案】C35. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A. Can we grow more glowing plants?B. How do we live with glowing plants?C. Could glowing plants replace lamps?D. How are glowing plants made pollution-free?【分值】2分【答案】C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。

AWho says inventions are only made by grown-ups and professionals? Over the years,children have also succeeded in making their useful contributions to the world. Here are a few inventions that came to life from the minds of young children.Hero HelmetSeven-year-old Samuel Meyer's invention is aimed at stopping people from riding their bikes or skateboards without using a helmet. The Hero Helmet features an inbuilt remote that controls a lock on the wheels which unlocks when the Helmet is being worn by the rider. Samuel says:no helmet, no bike.Robotic Earthworm .The first thought that comes to mind is, why a robotic earthworm? Well, ten-year-old David Cohen had some useful applications in mind. He believed it could be used to find victims after a flood, earthquake or fire. The robot could get into small and dangerous places where search dogs and humans could not go.B.E.A.C.O.N.Fifteen-year-old Hannah Herbst's invention, which stands for Bringing Electricity Access to Countries through Ocean Energy, was inspired by her pen pal who lives in Ethiopia and did not have access to lights. So she came up with B.E.A.C.O.N,which absorbs energy directly from ocean waves. Her invention won the “Discovery Education 3M Young Scientist Challenge" in 2015 and other numerous awards.Portable Wheelchair ControllerAt only eight years old, Amelia Fox created the invention to help lift people in and out of their wheelchair. This invention was not just born out of the desire to create something. Amelia developed this controller for her brother, who had just got hip surgery and needed the wheelchair to move around.1.Who is the youngest inventor?A.Samuel Meyer.B.David Cohen.C.Amelia Fox.D.Hannah Herbst. 、2.Which of the following can be used as a rescue tool?A.Hero Helmet.B. B.E.A.C.O.N.C.Robotic Earthworm.D.Portable Wheelchair Controller.3.Why did Amelia Fox create the invention?A.To give her brother assistance. ,B.To benefit the earthquake victims. .C.To generate electricity effectively. ,D.To protect bike riders from injuries.【答案】1.

Not ____51____, mathematics came out on top of the difficulty chart. So what is it about math that makes it difficult?Dictionary defines the word “difficult” as “not easily or readily done; requiring much ____52___ or planning to be performed successfully.”This definition gets to the point of the problem when it es to math.

Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have read.(A)October 17, 1989 is a day San Francisco will never forget. On that day, an unmon number of tragedies took place. It was also a day when total strangers became linked. The story of Jim Betts and Julio Berumen is a moving example of one such meeting.On that day, Petra Berumen took her daughter Cathy to the dentist. Also in the car was her son six-year-old Julio and their family friend Yolanda. Soon after Petra drove onto the highway, disaster struck. Without warning, the earth began to shake.The damage was terrible. Hugh trees bent as if they were made of rubber. Streets cracked and buildings collapsed. At least a stretch of the highway had crashed onto the lower level.Then as quickly as it started, the earthquake stopped. The Berumens’s car had been crushed be the steel. Petra and Yolanda were killed instantly. Cathy escaped unhurt but Julio, though still alive, was in danger. Not only was his right leg pinned down by the steel, he was also squeezed between the dead bodies of his mother and Yolanda.Rescuers had calmed Julio by the time Jim Betts, a doctor from Oakland Hospital, arrived. For two hours, Jim tried to free Julio with two bare hands. He did not stop to worry about the fact that aftershocks could send the highway to the ground.As soon as Julio was breathing, Jim kept working. However, Julio was languishing. Jim realized that he had only one choice. He would have to cut the boy’s right leg at the knee. Conditions were far from ideal. It was hot inside the car. Darkness had fallen outside.With great care, Jim started the operation. He had to try risky methods. Finally Julio was free.Those hours on the highway were like a nightmare. Jim said: “If my family members were up there badly hurt, they would urgently need help like that.”Though the day the earthquake tore many things apart, it also brought brave people together.66. The San Francisco earthquake was an unmon event for Julio and Jim because _________.A. the earth shook violently and suddenlyB. they became linked unexpectedlyC. they neither could see the broken highwayD. they both lost their family members67. In the fifth paragraph, Julio was languishing, which means that he was _________.A. about to dieB. plaining about the painC. losing his voiceD. crying68. According to the passage, Jim _________.A. successfully performed the operationB. had necessary equipment to rescue JulioC. was able to save Julio’s right legD. had one family member operated on69. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A. The Berumens were trying to leave the dangerous city when the earthquake struck.B. Two people of the Berumen family finally survived from the earthquake.C. Knowing aftershocks would e soon, Jim tried to rescue Julio from the car.D. The conditions were agreeable enough for Jim to perform the operation.(B)At the end of the year, our magazine is revealing our annual food and shopping predictions based on our research.Grazing Golden-Agers:Ninety-one percent of people say they snack daily, according to Nielsen. While snacking is on the rise among all ages and genders, research shows that snacking among consumers over the age of 65 could contribute to additional years with ahigher quality of life. We’ll see more boomers-those raised in the “three square meals a day” period-employ a “grazing” approach to eating foods rich in nutrients like protein, fiber and Omega3 that can help promote bone health.Same-Day Delivery Not Just for City Clickers:Online grocery shopping and delivery has bee a crowded space, with a host of services peting for consumer attention. This trend allows everyone who sells food to be in the same-day delivery business without having to add additional operational facilities. Look for Google Shopping Express to put every supermarket in the same day delivery business and change consumer behavior to shop online for food to be delivered to homes fresh for each meal. You now can throw your refrigerator away!The Rise of Fermented Foods:The next year will be the year when fermented (发酵的) foods-foods like yogurt, pickles(泡菜) take center stage. These foods contain live cultures, or are preserved in liquid so their sugars and other seasonings can bee bacteria-promoting agents. In fact, a survey has found that nearly 50 percent of Americans have shown interest in fermented foods, who, especially those over 60s, have improved a lot in digestion. However, if treated inappropriately, the bacteria hidden in these foods might have our hospitals full of sick dinners.Therefore make sure to study the cooking skills well before you these foods.Supermarkets change into Socializing Spaces:Supermarkets have evolved from straightforward centers where consumers could buy groceries to providers of lifestyle. Supermarkets are developing a variety of services that help to establish each outlet as a showcase of lifestyle trends.A desire to be “all things food” to their customers, young and old, is positioning the supermarkets as head to head petitors with chain and local restaurants. Cooking classes, and online home-made recipes are also giving consumers reasons beyond a grocery list to step inside their neighborhood supermarkets instead of a local restaurant.70. The passage advises readers to give up refrigerator because_____A. people eat more snacks which don’t have to be put in refrigeratorsB. the refrigerators has bee useless operational facilities for food sellersC. food can be sent to customers within short time and freezing is not neededD. Fermented foods can be kept in normal temperature for much more time.71. For fermented foods, people must guarantee that______A. live cultures should be introduced while eating themB. these help in digestion should be introduced to the publicC. bacteria should be killed before being put into the foodsD. cooking should be conducted carefully to avoid disease72. It is implied in the last paragraph that______A. supermarkets sell recipes for trendy lifestyle to customersB. supermarkets used to be friends of chain and local restaurantsC. people can apply for cooking classes and obtain recipes in supermarketsD. Cooking classes encourage people to make food rather than dine out73. The two trends that are particularly good for the elderly are_____A. eating snacks and fermented foodsB. eating snacks and one-day deliveryC. one-day delivery and socializing supermarketsD. fermented foods and socializing supermarkets(C)Today, home-ownership has reached extremely high levels. Modern generations tend to believe there is something wrong with them if they rent. However, is high home-ownership really as people imagine? Staring at data first, we realize that the most successful, stable, attractive country in the Western world is Switzerland. It has tiny unemployment; wealth; high happiness and mental-healthscores. Does it have high home-ownership rates? Absolutely not. In Switzerland, about seven in ten of the population are renters. Yet, with Europe’s lowest home-ownership rate, the nation thrives. Now go to the other end of the misery distribution. Spain has approximately the highest home-ownership rate in Europe (at more than 80%). But one-quarter of its population are unemployed.A likely reason is that high levels of home-ownership mess up the labour market. In a sensibly functioning economy it is easy for people to move around to drop into the vibrant job slots thrown up by technological change. With a high degree of owner-occupation, everything slows. Folk get stuck. Renters can go to new jobs. In that way they do the economy a favours. As Friedman said, the rate of unemployment depends on the flexibility of the housing market.Next we e to economic breakdown. Most analysts accept that at heart it was the housing market-obsessive pursuit of homes, the engendered mortgage(房贷) lending and an unavoidable house-price crash-that sank the Western world. Germany, say, with its more efficient rental market, had a far smoother ride through trouble.As for the monetary system, in the past few decades, in the hope of getting untaxed capital gains way above their true labour earnings, many people threw their spare cash into buying larger houses or building extra bedrooms. TV programmesabout how to make easy money, beautiful rising house prices, and most importantly, our faulty tax system encouraged that. When at some point market broke down, everyone suffered. Our countries ought, instead, to design tax systems that encourage people to invest in productive real activities and in innovation. Renting leaves money free for better purposes.That also points to the role of sensible budgeting over a person’s lifetime. Why should we think that when we die it is necessary to have paid off an entire house? Our children do not deserve it. Let them pay for themselves. We should rent-and enjoy our lives with the money saved.Finally, moderation usually pays off. Our scientific understanding of how economies function is horribly limited. This suggests that the golden rule should be to avoid extremes. A50-50mix of home-ownership and renting, not the 70-30 split that is now observed in so many Western nations, makes sense.74. The cases of Switzerland and Spain prove that_____A. low home-ownership rate at about 30% is most favourable for economyB. home-ownership mainly decides a country’s citizens’ mental healthC. home-ownership has a lot to do with a country’s technological deve lopmentD. low home-ownership increases the mobility of job market and economy75. The main reason to make people invest in housing market is____A. the problematic taxing approach favouring house buyingB. people’s desire to avoid their money from d evaluingC. easy channels to obtain methods to make easy moneyD. people’s wishes to live in large and more fortable houses76. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A. Switzerland suffers the worse unemployment in EuropeB. Renting allows more money into more creative economic activitesC. Germany’s effective mortgage system saw it through the western economiccrisisD. Our children have the right to enjoy the housing property we have paid off77. What opinion does the author agree with most?A. People should learn the workings of housing marketB. Laws should be set up to stop people from buying housesC. An adequate rate of home-ownership should be keptD. People should follow the good example of Europe in housing investment Section CDirections: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or plete the statements in the fewest possible words.The herds of bulls and horses depicted running along the walls of the Lascaux caves in France are among the most magnificent examples of prehistoric art ever discovered.But rather than displaying hunting scenes, new evidence suggests that the images actually represent the frightening sounds which came from the mouths of the caves.US researcher Steven Waller believes that the echoes(回声) of clapping outside the cave would have sounded like hundreds of animal feet drumming on the ground. He proposes that the caves were preserved for their sound properties, which prehistoric peoples mistook for supernatural noises.Ancient stories explained echoes from the mouths of certain giant caves as replies from spirits, so our ancestors chose to decorate these caves with paintings believing that they were inhabited by spirits and gods.Beside animal sounds, many ancient cultures attributed thunder in the sky to ‘thunder gods,’ so it makes sense that some lasting echoes within the caves were interpreted as thunder and inspired paintings of those thunder gods on cave walls. The idea is also supported by audio theory, which shows statistically significant similarities between the rock are sites and modern sound reflection equipment.As for the presence of the famous Stonehenge(巨石阵) in Britain, Mr. Walker also suggests it may have been the sound of the prehistoric monument, rather than the sight, that inspired its creation.He claims that its architects may have been trying to recreate a sound-effect similar to the ritual sound made during religious dancing.People taking part in a religious dance around a pair of pipes would have heard the music grow quieter as they moved past certain pipes due to a natural phenomenon known as an ‘interference pattern.’ If they were blindfold, it would have created the illusion that the sound was intermittently being reduced by invisible gods as they danced. According to Dr. Walker, the effects became so impressive that ancient people attempted to capture it in store. Therefore the Stonehenge appeared.However some British experts said that it was clear that Stonehenge had been created over several centuries rather than being ‘thrown up overnight.’They claimed that there was no question in the traditional view that lining up along the mid-summer sunrise and mid-winter sunset was the ultimate purpose for its building.(Note: Answer the questions or plete the statements in NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS.)78. According to ancient people, who lived in the big caves?79. Modern sound science finds that ____ and _____ have much in mon.80. According to Walker, how was the sound made weaker during religious dancing?81. The traditional view believes that Stonehenge was built in order to ______.II卷(共47分)I.Translation(22分)Directions: Translate the following sentences into English, using the words given in the brackets.1. 玛丽的表演从来没有这样令人印象深刻。

2021届重庆市杨家坪中学高三英语一模试题及答案解析

2021届重庆市杨家坪中学高三英语一模试题及答案解析第一部分阅读(共两节,满分40分)第一节(共15小题;每小题2分,满分30分)阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项AWhen the sun shines brightly, it provides a great chance to get outdoor things done. Like making hay! At least, that is what farmers from the past would say. ―Make hay while the sun shines.This idiom is very old, dating back to Medieval times. Rain would often ruin the process of making hay. So, farmers had no choice but to make hay when the sun was shining.Today, we all use this expression, not just farmers. When conditions are perfect to get something done, we can say, ―It’s a good idea to make hay while the sun shines.In other words, you are taking advantage of a good situation or of good conditions. You are making the most of your opportunities. These all mean ―making hay while the sun shines.And sometimes we use this expression to mean we beat someone to the punch, or we got ahead of someone else. And other times you make hay while the sun shines to make good use of the chance to do something while it lasts. You are being opportunistic – taking advantage of a good opportunity. For example, my friend Ozzy was sick for a week and could not go to work. So, his co-worker Sarah -- who doesn’t like him -- took advantage of his illness and stole his project! Talk about making hay while the sun shines.Sometimes when you make hay while the sun shines you are staying ahead of a problem – like in this example:Hey, do you want to go hiking with me and my friends this weekend? The weather is going to be beautiful! I wish I could. But I have to finish my taxes. It’s the last weekend before they’re due.Oh, that’s too bad.Wait. What about your taxes?My taxes are done. I was off from work a couple of weeks ago and made hay while the sun shined. I got all of it done!I wish I would have taken advantage of my time off last week___1___All I did was lay around thehouse.And that’s all the time we have for these Words and Their Stories. But join us again next week. You can listen while you’re making dinner or riding to work. Yeah, make hay while the sun shines.1.Which of the following best matches ―make hay whilethe sun shines in paragraph 2?A.Sow nothing, reap nothing.B.Sharp tools make good work.C.Strike while the iron is hot.D.One swallow doesn’t make a summer.2.According to the underlined sentence, what feeling does the speaker express?A.AdmirableB.RegretfulC.AnnoyedD.Indifferent3.Where is the passage probably taken from?A.A radio programB.A magazineC.A brochureD.A novelBTexas has been one of the most restrictive gun-rights states in America.Thanks to a new law,however,the state will be one of the most relaxed,to the degree that police are discouraged from even asking about someone's guns. And if they do, they may not have much power to do anything if the person refuses to show a license.To be sure, the law is strict in its own way,offering a model for regulation. Under the law, open-carry citizens have to be licensed, a process that includes safety and shooting tests. They also have to show no prior psychological problems, and they have to be at least 21 years old.It is true that gun violence dropped sharply after restrictive laws were put in place in countries like Great Britain and Australia. However,the US public seems more interested than ever in weapons and the power they convey,despite gun control groups' concern over the increase of violence. Most states in America have steadily expanded gun rights since the end of a 10-year assault(攻击)weapons ban in 2004. Black Friday this year saw the biggest gun cache(贮存)ever purchased in one day.Considering those trends,there's a heated debate about whether the new Texas law is a model piece of legislation(立法)for a changing America,or a walking disaster just begging for trouble. As the law doesn't provide any punishment for those who refuse to show a license to a police officer, critics fear that officers may find it tough to handle potentially deadly situations. After all, armed citizens will no longer be considered suspicious, even though a lot of people might be alarmed by the sight. Most police in Texas have been told to not engage gun carriers unless they are doing something questionable or appear drunk.For sure,New Year's Day will be an exciting one for Texas gun owners. What's not yet known is how the rest of Texas will respond.4. All of the following are required in the new Texas law for open carry EXCEPTA. age limitB. mental conditionC. online registrationD. gun-operating skills5. What is mainly talked about in Paragraph 3?A. The reason for putting forward the new Texas law.B. The present situation of gun possession in America.C. The impact of the assault weapons ban in 2004.D. The inaction of the US government as to gun control.6. What do critics think the new Texas law will probably lead to?A. Heavier workload for policemen.B. Disrespect for officers.C. Lack of trust among citizens.D. Difficulty in crime prevention.7. What is the author's attitude towards the new Texas law?A. Negative.B. Cautious.C. Indifferent.D. Approving.CThere are many useful things we can do each day to feel better. It may take some efforts and time to make a habit of drinking 8 glasses of water daily or thinking more positively, but it is well worth it. What things do you do every day to feel better?Probably the healthiest thing you can do to feel better each day is to exercise early in the morning. You don't have to run the whole morning or spend a few hours in the gym. Even doing some easy exercise like walking, sit-ups or jumping the rope will help you feel better in no time!Again, due to our busy schedules, we don't get enough sleep each night. If you have trouble falling asleep, avoid watching TV or surfing the Internet right before bed. Also, try to make healthy bedtime snack choices and don't drink tea or coffee too late in the day.If you drink 3 glasses of water, 4 glasses of coffee or tea and a glass of soda each day and think that you drink enough water, think again. Your body needs water (not coffee or soda!) to function properly. Aiming to drink 7-8glasses of water each day can make you feel better.Being positive is the key to a longer life. Positive thoughts can help improve your overall heath. Life is full of stressful situations and it's hard to stay cheerful when everything goes wrong, but your positive attitude can help you solve any problem and fight any stress faster and easier. Your positive attitude is especially good for your heart health. Smile, stay positive and live a longer life!8. In the author's opinion which can benefit us most in order that we feel better?A. Sleeping enough.B. Drinking enough water.C. Thinking more positively.D. Taking morning exercise.9. Which of the following agrees with what is said in Paragraph 3?A. Drinking tea or coffee makes us sleep less.B. Drinking tea before bed makes it harder to fall asleep.C. Watching TV or surfing the Internet leads to less sleep.D. Our busy schedules cause more difficulty in falling asleep.10. Why is water necessary to our body?A. Because it can make us feel better.B. Because it can have our body work smoothly.C. Because in can do more good to our body thancoffee.D. Because it can hep avoid feeling thirsty.11. What do we need most when everything goes wrong?A. Thinking positively.B. Thinking out wise ways.C. Having a right attitude.D. Staying cheerful.DMark Twain,the famous American writer,was once traveling in France.He went by trainto Dijon.He was very tired and wanted to sleep.He therefore asked the conductor to wake him up when the train came to Dijon.But first he explained he was a very heavy sleeper,“I may possibly protest(抗议)loudly when you try to wake me up,” he said to the conductor.“But don’t take any notice of what I say.Just put me off the train anyway.”Then Mark Twain went to ter,when he woke up it was night time and the train had reached Paris already.He realized at once that the conductor had forgotten to wake him up at Dijon.He was so angry that he ran to the conductor and began to shout at him.“I have never been so angry in my life,” Mark Twain said.The conductor looked at him calmly(平静地).“You are not half so angry as the American whom I put off the train atDijon,” he said.12.
