After having surgery on my broken nose 18 monthsago, I haven’t been able to smell or taste things. This week, however, my nose isback in business. I’ve been overwhelmed by smells, and it’s given me a new way ofthinking. Scent is just one of the little bits and pieces that make lifeenjoyable,but which we often ignore. I remember once, when my son was five months old, I wascarrying him down the street. Wind swept through and almost tipped us over. He threwhis lit tle head back and giggled. He’d never felt the wind on his face. When isthe last time I laughed at the weather?The first time I ate bacon, I rushed home to my parents,determined that we ate this deliciousness at every meal. My father smiled and agreed.Do you recall when you learned that the voice actors of Mickey and Minnie Mousewere married in real life? Do you enjoy sleeping in new clean bedsheets? Is theresomeone on the radio whose voice is as smooth as velvet?We don’t write postcards about the small things.We don’t frame them in photo-graphs. They aren’t that great or grand, but withoutthem, life is altogether too loud. These quiet experiences give us a chance to enjoythe simple fact of being alive. As my sense of smell returns to me, it’s like I’msmelling things for the first time. They’re full of memories and magic. Food tastesbetter, and the air is indeed sweet. I know what the poets mean now. It almost makesmy broken nose worthwhile. Now, I am waiting for this bandage to come off. There’san itch I can’t reach!（1）The writer in the passage mainly tries to .A . discuss how to enjoy leisure timeB . show that she loves doing secret thingsC . give examples of how she kills timeD . persuade readers to enjoy small things in life（2）According to the write r, “a new way of thinking” in the second paragraph means .A . the ability to discover the joy of small thingsB . the habit of overcoming ignoranceC . the ability to fully use our limited attentionD . the habit of making personal reflections（3）The writer recalls that .A . her father enjoyed sleeping in new clean bedsheets.B . her son was frightened when feeling the wind on his face.C . she couldn’t resist temptation when eating bacon for the first time.D . she always ignored the great things in life.（4）One small thing mentioned in the last paragraph is .A . a joyful memoryB . a quiet experienceC . the sense of smellD . the simple fact of being alive3. 阅读理解Nowadays there is less and less contact between the old and the young. There are many reasons for this, but the result is the same: increasing numbers of children without grandparents and old people who have no contact with children. And more old people who are lonely and feel use- less, along with more and more families with young children who desperately need more support. It’s a major problem in many societies.That’s why intergenerational programmes, designed to bring the old and the young together, are growing in popularity all over the world, supported by UNESCO and other local and international organisations. There are examples of successful initiatives all over the world. Using young people to teach IT skills to older people is one obvious example. Using old people asvolunteer assistants in schools is another, perhaps reading with children who need extra attention.One successful scheme in France is combining a residential home for the elderly with a creche/nursery school in the same building. The children and the residents eat lunch together and share activities such as music, painting, gardening and caring for the pets which the residents are encouraged to keep. In the afternoons, the residents enjoy reading or telling stones to the children and, if a child is feeling sad or tired, there is always a kind lap to sit on and a cuddle . There are trips out and birthday parties too.The advantages are enormous for everyone concerned. The children are happy because they get a lot more individual attention and respond well because someone has lime, for them. They also learn that old people are not different or frightening in any way. And of course, they see illness and death and learn to accept them. The residents are happy because they feel useful and needed. They are more active and more interested in life when the children are around and they take more interest in their appearance too. And the staff are happy because they see an improvement in the physical and psychological health of the residents and have an army of assistants to help with the children.（1）What is the social problem talked about in Paragraph 1?A . A generation gap.B . Caring for children.C . Intergenerational contact.D . The support for the aged.（2）What do the programmes mentioned in Paragraph 2 aim to do?A . Make the old take care of children.B . Help the old people learn newthings.C . Encourage the young to care for the old.D . Increase contact between the old and the young.（3）What is special about the scheme in France?A . Joining an elderly house with a kindergarten.B . Hiring old people as child - care workers.C . Helping children face misfortunes bravely.D . Using children to accompany the old.（4）In which aspect does the scheme benefit the old?A . It builds up their strength.B . They live a healthier life.C . It creates a family atmosphere.D . They are closer to their relatives.4. 阅读理解In college, I was taught anelegant theory of chemical combination based on excess electrons going into holesin the orbital shell of a neighbouring atom. But what about diatomic compounds likeoxyg en gas? Don’t ask; students aren’t ready to know. In physics, in biology, inany other science classes, students frequently get that answer too.It’s time to trust studentsto handle doubt and diversity in science. Actually, students are starting to act.They have shamed their seniors into including more diverse contributors as facultymembers and role models. Young scholars rudely ask their superiors why they failto address the extinction crises clarified by their research. The inherited authoritarianpolitical structures of science education are becoming lame—but still remain largely unchanged from the old school days.A narrow, rigid education doesnot prepare anyone for the complexities ofscientific research, applications andpolicy. If we discourage students from inquiring into the real nature of scientifictruths, or exploring how society shapes the questions that researchers ask how canwe prepare them to maintain public trust in science in our “post-truth”world? Diversity and doubt produce creativity: we must make room for them, and stopguiding future scientists into narrow specialties that value technique over thought.In science, even foundationalbuilding blocks can be questioned. The unifying patterns of the periodic table arenow questioned under closer examination. Some scientists now wonder whether theconcept of biological “species” contributes more confusion than insight,and whether it should therefore be abandoned. However, such a decision would affectconservation policy, in which identification of endangered species is crucial—so it is not just an issue for basic science.Science students generally remainunaware that concepts such as elements and species are contested or are even contestable.In school, college and beyond, curricula highlight the technical and hide the reflective.Public arguments among scientists often presume that every problem has just onesolution.Nonetheless, uncertain adviceon complex issues should be a warning that, from a future perspective, today’s totalscientific consensus on some policy issue might have been the result of stubbornness,a conflict of interest or worse. Just as a healthy democracy accommodates dissentand dissonance, the collective consciousness of science would do well to embracedoubt anddiversity. This could start with teaching science as a great, flawed,ongoing human achievement, rather than as a collection of cut-and-dried eternal truths.I recall a legendary chemistryprofessor who was not skilful at getting classroom demonstrations to work—but discussing what went wrong helped his students to thrive. A mathematicianfriend let pupils discuss every statement in the textbook until all were satisfied.They did very well in exams, and taught themselves when he was absent. Treatingpeople at all levels as committed thinkers, whose asking teaches us all, is thekey to tackling the challenges to science in the post-trust age.（1）The problem of current science training is that .A . students cannot become specialistsB . it goes against established science educationC . students lose trust in their teachers and professorsD . it fails to provide students with what they need in future（2）The periodic table is mentioned to prove that .A . even the widely accepted can be challengedB . students are generally ignorant of scienceC . most previous researches are out of dateD . science has been developing with time（3）It can be learnt from the passage that .A . students may be more innovative if they are allowed to doubtB . science students do not contest elements or speciesC . students should not trust established scienceD . diversity prevents progress in science（4）Which of the following statements best represents the writer’s opinion?A . Our curricula highlight the technical and hide the reflective.B . Science should be a collection of cut-and-dried eternal truths.C . Teachers should treat people at all levels as committed thinkers.D . The concept of biological species brings more confusion than insight.二、任务型阅读（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）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。

高三上学期英语开学测试卷第二部分阅读（共两节，满分50分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分）阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
ATake one step closer to the lights on Broadway－build essential theater skills and start carving out your own creative professional path.Immersing themselves in the amazing,unparalleled New York theater scene,students will explore and analyze the craft,including creating an original piece and meeting professionals in the field.Throughout the term,students will use both classroom work and site visits around the downtown to examine and complete the creative process of taking an initial idea to production,gaining technical expertise(专业知识)and fluency in theater.Students will also explore different areas of professional skill development,including playwriting structure and techniques,acting methods that help bring a play to life,scene structure.The course is open to all students－from those who are curious about the field but have no prior experience to those who already have one(or more!) plays,waiting to be developed.Course Highlights●Complete a hands-on experience in playwriting,acting and production,learning about the real processes the industry uses to create theater productions.●Brainstorm,develop a concept,write and workshop a draft of a short play or scene,and bring it to stage with input and feedback from instructors and peers.●Get a close-up view of the often-opaque(不透明的)business of theater,focusing on impacts to the profession brought about by social movements and current events.Tuition*●Residential Program(Students live in dorm-like facilities in the center of the city):$6,845●Day Program(Students commute to class every day and do not receive accommodation and board):$5,560(We encourage graduating seniors to apply before June21,2024for a$425discount on tuition.)Term Date:July21－Aug2,2024Application Deadline:Friday,July12,2024Contact Admission:*We believe financial circumstances should not prevent someone from joining our program.Explore financial aid and scholarships.Learn More1.Which is the probably name of the course?A.Broadway Dreams:Essential Skills for Professional PathB.Theater Industry:Gaining Insights into the Complex SystemC.Backstage Exploration:Behind the Scene of Drama CreationD.From Page to Stage:Playwriting,Performance and Production2.What will students do in the course?A.Interact with Broadway actors.B.Polish original drafts for stage.C.Seek inspiration in the suburbs.D.Write a review on their drama.3.How much should a graduating senior applying for a Day Program on June20,2024pay?A.$5,135B.$5,560C.$6,420D.$6,845BIn Bududa,a lush yet landslide-prone district of eastern Uganda,Mary Butsina and a growing number of other women farmers are building their livelihoods around coffee.“I’m supporting all of my10children with it.”says the 36-year-old,holding a red bucket.From farming stock,Mary first went to work with her father at the age of10.Profits from his coffee crop covered her school fees.She married into coffee too,with her husband giving her100trees as a wedding present. But Mary’s since planted more than300herself and joined a women’s cooperative.“The aim was to reduce the dependence of women on men in coffee.”Mary says,though husbands are allowed to join too—as they tend to own the coffee plantations and support their wives.“More women have started to plant their own coffee.”she says.Mary rises early every day to pick the coffee cherries.“It’s hard work but when you concentrate it can become easy.”says Mary.After gathering the ripe fruit,she puts it in a bucket of water to weed out the unhealthy cherries. The beans are then fermented(发酵)in water for at least two days before being laid out to dry in direct sunlight. Once dried,the beans are gathered up and later collected by Endiro Coffee,a social enterprise working with women-led,organic farms.The coffee is later milled,roasted and ground,ready for use.It hasn’t been an easy journey for the Bududa farmers,who’ve faced annual landslides for the past15years.In 2018,Mary’s mother’s house was destroyed and she lost some of her coffee plantations.She dreams of living in a solidly built house with water nearby,so she doesn’t have to trek(跋涉)a long way to fetch it－but these will take time to save for.“I’ve worked a lot and I don’t want to stop,but I want my money to work for me.”she says.4.What role does coffee play in Mary’s hometown?A.A significant source of income.B.A bond of love and marriage.C.A symbol of wealth and status.D.A barrier to frequent landslides.5.How does the women’s cooperative benefit female coffee farmers?A.By providing them with high quality trees.B.By accessing them to better sales channels.C.By liberating them from their husbands.D.By enabling them to control their business.6.Why is the processing of coffee beans mentioned in Paragraph3?A.To display Mary’s technical proficiency.B.To prove the high quality of Ugandan coffee.C.To highlight Mary’s dedication and diligence.D.To emphasize the difficulties of planting coffee.7.What does Mary mean in the last sentence of the text?A.She plans to expand her coffee planting business.B.She desires to achieve economic independence.C.She thinks the road to happiness is still distant.D.She believes her hard work will finally pay off.CA good story.That’s what influences our choice to buy a book the most.Right?Some of the biggest-selling novels of all time just so happened to be attached to major publishers.Indeed,any reading lover will be familiar with the countless publishing houses that have brought brilliant works to the market.So in theory,perhaps a publisher does matter.Every time you read a book that you enjoy,you likely look at the publisher attached to it.That name is a signal that they will produce other content that fits with that same style.It makes a lot of sense to continue to purchase texts from a company that is telling the kinds of stories that you enjoy the most.Consumer habits are thus based on trust that a publisher will be consistent in the books they deliver and that investing time in them is more reliable than an untested source.The strength of the author themselves can also play into that.After all,well-liked authors are often signed to a book deal with a select few publishers,strengthening the brand further.Of course,a publisher would be nothing without its logo,which is a major call-to-arms for all fans of the brand.The top publishers in the world instantly recognizable imagery,which catch the attention while summing up the name of a brand in an instant.That thus builds our association with a given name.The fun penguin shape of Penguin Random House is so iconic,for example,that it could not be confused with any other publishing business.There might be a place for those indie(独立经营的)book companies,with occasional stories breaking through and forcing people to take notice.In truth that’s far less common than you expect.Expert Cassandra Davis,however,provides a hopeful insight.“Indie bookshops are more likely to stock an indie publisher’s books, especially if the author is local to the bookshop.”She says.Therefore,supporting local bookshops is a vital way to keep the indie industry alive and change these trends.8.Which of the following is not a strategy for a publisher to promote its brand?A.Maintaining consistent publishing style.B.Contracting with renowned writers.C.Offering discounts to repeat customers.D.Designing a distinctive trademark.9.What is the author’s attitude towards indie publishers?A.Optimistic.B.Sympathetic.C.Objective.D.Indifferent.10.What does the underlined words“these trends”in the last paragraph refer to?A.Dominance of major publishers.ck of attention to excellent books.C.Depression of local bookshops.D.Stability of consumers’preferences.11.Which of the following is the best title for the text?A.Should We Judge a Book by Its Publisher?B.Do Publishers Influence Our Reading Choices?C.Why Do We Choose the Same Publisher Continuously?D.What Advantages Do Major Publishers Have Over Indie Ones?DHumans act with purpose,but much is still unknown about how we become purposeful agents—that is,how we develop the ability to willfully make things happen.In a recent study to explore agency’s mysterious roots,we tried to catch infants(婴儿)in the act of discovering their own agency,thereby revealing the process of agency formation.Researchers place a baby into a cradle with a mobile suspended above.Then a scientist ties one end of a string to the mobile and the other to the infant’s foot.Now if the baby moves,the toy will,too.By observing babies in this setup,scientists can watch as the infants learn and recall a simple cause-and-effect interaction:kick a foot and the mobile moves.As predicted by the researchers,infants kicked significantly more when their foot was tethered(拴住)to the mobile than when it was not.However,when an experimenter pulled the string to make the mobile move instead, infants moved less than when the mobile was at rest.Furthermore,when we freed the babies’foot from the mobile, they kept on kicking at higher rate to make the toy respond—and were visibly frustrated when that did not happen.Our observations also pointed to a notable pattern:The babies’initial movements consisted of twisting andpushing without clear direction.But once tethered to the mobile,the more intensely they moved,the more their attention was drawn to the effect their kicking had on it.At some point,the infants must have figured out that they had agency,thus the aimless movements became intentional action—a highly coordinated exchange between the tethered infant and the mobile.The baby-mobile study emphasizes how understanding the relationship between an organism and its environment is essential to uncovering the origins of directed behavior.The experience of agency emerges only when an organism senses it is coupled to its environment.In this way of thinking,the interaction and relationship between the two are crucial for purpose to arise.12.What can we learn about agency according to the text?A.It is an inborn ability without learning.B.It embodies in babies the most evidently.C.It exists in all aspects of our daily life.D.It is a resonance with our surroundings.13.How did the researchers make the experiment convincing?A.By predicting multiple possible results.B.By tracking babies’behaviour precisely.C.By setting up comparative experiments.D.By building proper interpretation model.14.What does Paragraph4mainly talk about?A.Analysis of experimental phenomena.B.Supplement to experimental details.C.Explanation of experimental design.D.Summary of experimental outcomes.15.What is the main purpose of the text?A.To uncover the process of agency formation.B.To report a cutting-edge discovery about agency.C.To guide people on how to take advantage of agency.D.To clarify the importance of environment to creatures.第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

AParents today, especially those in cities, seem devoted to what they think is good for their children. They try to get them the best education and anything else they need to make them a success. They want their children not only to imitate them, but also to exceed(超过)them.Where does all this leave the child?The result is that children hardly get to enjoy their childhood and what comes with it. Heavy homework, the pain of trying to excel in class and a busy schedule leave today’s children no time to do what comes naturally to them. They spend most of the time confined(限制) to the four walls of their homes, where the only two possible things they can indulge in (沉溺于) are television and computer.But isn’t a child naturally supposed to be naughty? Do we really believe thatall the great men and women the world has seen were hard-working and boring in their teens?In trying to make a model child, parents seem to have brought great pressure upon themselves, too. It’s sad that “submissiveness(顺从，听话)〞 is too often considered a positive personality in a child. And many parents still believe in the proverb: spare the rod(棍子) and spoil the child.But only those children who grow up getting the respect of others will become citizens who respect others.It’s time for us to think what we shoul d do to bring fun and dignity back to our children’s lives.A Whitney Houston song perhaps best shows what we ought to be doing: “I believe the children are our future. Teach them well and let them lead the way. Show them all the beauty they possess inside. Give them a sense of pride to make it easier. Let the children’s laughter remind us how we used to be.〞1.The author’s attitude toward children is ______.A. satisfiedB. sympatheticC.indifferentD. optimistic2.What does the underlined word “excel〞 in paragraph 3 mean?A.To try to catch up with the others.B.To do something very well, or much better than most people.C.To surprise others by their hard work.D.To work day and night for high marks.3.The proverb “spare the rod(棍子) and spoil the child〞 in Paragraph 5 probablymeans ______.A.give a child everything they want except rod, which will harm himB.if you do not beat the child when he /she does wrong, you will spoil his/hercharacterC.let a child grow healthily like a strong rodD.if your child damages the rod, you should teach him/her a lesson4.In writing the last paragraph, the author wants to tell us ______.A.children are supposed to live in an atmosphere of musicB.what we used to be as a childC.children must be either beautiful or proud to lead a happy lifeD.what we should do as parentsBChina is facing an increasing social burden with the rapid growth of its ageing population.The ratio between active employees and the retired will reach 2.5 to 1 by 2021, said Li Bengong, executive deputy director of the China National Committee on Ageing, In 1990, it was 10:1 and rose to 3:1 in 2021, posing a “great challenge〞 to the social welfare system, Li told a press conference.A white paper issued on Tuesday by the State Council Information Office said that at the end of 2021, China had nearly 144 million people aged over 60, accounting for 11 per cent of its population, and the number is rising by 3 per cent every year. The number of elderly people is expected to reach 248 million by 2021, and 437million by 2051, said Li. The ageing population at the end of the first half of the century will account for a fifth of the world’s total, according to estimates by the United Nations.The white paper said the number of people participating in the basic old-age insurance scheme across the country in 2021 reached 175 million, 43.67 million of whom were retirees (the pay is also a growing threat). But millions more, especially in rural areas, have no welfare guarantees.The soaring number of senior citizens has also brought challenges to the health and medical system. Li said medical resources consumed by the aged were three to five times higher than other age groups.To channel funds (为......引资) for medical care, China has been piloting (试验) a co-operative medicare programme in rural areas since 2021. And by last June, the programme covered 495 million rural people, including 73 per cent of the elderly.5.What is the main idea of this passage?A.The rapid growth of ageing people in China brings social problems.B.The retired people should try to earn their own living.C.The whole society shouldn’t spend so much on senior citizens.D.The aged people make up the majority of the population in China.6.How many people aged over 60 were there at the end of 2013 in China according to the passage?A. 144 million.B. About 148 million.C. 180 million.D. About 16 million.7.The rapid growth of ageing people will cause problems in the following aspects EXCEPT ______.A.welfare costB. retirement payC. health and medical costD. basicsalary8.People ______ will suffer most from ageing population problems.A.in the urban areasB. in the rural areasC. who are childlessD. who are in poor healthCDNA tells the story of the race to discover the structure of DNA, and the scientists who changed our understanding of the world and everything in it. The five part-series, to be broadcast from Thursday July 14 at 8:30 pm on ABC TV, also looks at the implications of the scientists’ work for the future of mankind.The scientists were a small group of pioneers who explore a world too small to see. What they found there answered some eternal questions -- What is life ? How is it made? Why are children like their parents?DNA is without doubt the most powerful substance on Earth. The order of its chemicals determines whether a child has her mother’s eyes or her father’s smile. But as DNA reveals, until 50 years ago, almost no one knew of its existence. All that changed when two unknown scientists -- Jim Watson and Francis Crick -- ran into a pub (酒馆) in Cambridge shouting that they’d found the secret of life.This declaration heralded (预示) a momentous discovery, not just for the human race but for the people involved. As this program reveals, it was one of the mostheated scientific races the world has ever seen.Dr Watson takes us back 50 years, guiding us through the events that led to the creation of a double helix (螺旋) model being built by Dr Francis Crick and himself. He tells how he and Crick beat all the odds to find the double helix first and win the Nobel Prize.The program reveals others involved with the DNA story, including Maurice Wilkins, who helped create the atom bomb. He became disillusioned (大失所望的) with the science of death and chose the science of life instead, by looking for the structure of DNA.9.The purpose of this passage is to ______.A.give a TV program summaryB. report on a study on DNAC. tell the importance of DNAD. introduce some scientists10.According to the passage, what is true of the underlined word “DNA〞 in the first paragraph?A.It is the most powerful substance on Earth.B. It was found by Jim Watson and Francis Crick.C. It remained unknown 50 years ago.D. It reveals many secrets few people ever knew.11.Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?A.DNA explained certain eternal questions involving life.B. Jim Watson and Francis Crick discovered DNA.C. Few scientists showed interest in DNA study.D. Maurice Wilkins also did some study on DNA.12.We can learn from the passage that Maurice Wilkins ______.A.found the secret of lifeB. discovered DNA firstC. won the Nobel PrizeD. changed his research fieldDBlogs were mostly just online diaries written by gossipy (爱闲聊的) teenagers, ten years ago. Today, blogs have become a social force with the power to influence the media, and even the government.It is estimated that the number of blogs on the Internet is between 10 to 32 million. Many of these are personal blogs that people use to keep in touch with their friends. But some are comments on celebrities (名人), politics and current events. Take Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper for example. Some political experts say he owes his election victory to bloggers.During the months before the election, former Prime Minister Paul Martin was being investigated for a crime. The newspapers did not write anything about the investigation, nor was it shown on TV. But bloggers made sure the story was on the web. If they had not done this, it’s q uite possible that Mr Martin would still be Canada’s Prime Minister.Studies show that 30% of Americans have read a blog at least once; 40% percent of Canadians have read them. Even if people don’t read blogs regularly, they might still be indirectly affected by them. Besides, many journalists are using blogs to get story ideas. If blogs are influencing mass media, then they are influencing our lives.Now people are wondering whether blogging will replace other forms of mass media. But media profess ionals don’t think so. Most bloggers don’t do firsthand reporting. Unlike reporters, they do not travel to the places or meet the people they write about. They rely on mass media for information for their blogs. In fact, many blogs include link to well- known publications.But blogs might help improve the quality of other media. Reporters are more careful about getting accurate information when they know bloggers will point out their mistakes. If information is power, then blogs give that power to us all.13.Blogs have been playing an important role in modern society because ______.A.They have been in existence for ten yearsB. They have strongly influenced the mediaC. They are being used by teenagersD. People use them to keep in touch with each other14.By mentioning the election of Mr. Stephen Harper, the author intends to say ______.A. how influential blogs are to politicsB. how fortunate Mr. Stephen Harper wasC. Mr. Martin was innocentD. blogs are a decisive factor in the election15.The distinction between blogs and mass media is that ______.A. Most bloggers get instant information from the sportB. Information in the blogs is always trueC. Unlike mass media most blogs get information indirectlyD. Most bloggers are attached to famous publications第二节七选五〔一共5小题；每一小题2分，满分是10分〕根据短文内容，从短文后的选项里面选出能填入空白处的最正确选项。

高三上学期期初检测英语试题
江苏省泰州市2020-2021学年高三上学期期初检测英语试题学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________一、阅读选择The government of Norway is planning to build an unusual storage center on an island in the Arctic Ocean. The place would be large enough to hold about two million seeds. The goal is to represent all crops known to scientists. The British magazine New Scientist published details of the plan last month. The structure will be designed to protect the world’s food supply against nuclear war, climate change and other possible threats. It will be built in a mountain on the Norwegian island of Spitsbergen. The mountain is less than one thousand kilometers from the North Pole, the northernmost position on Earth.An international group called the Global Crop Diversity Trust is working on the project. The director of the group, Cary Fowler, spoke to New Scientist. He said the project would let the world rebuild agriculture if in his words “the worst came to the worst”. Norway is expected to start work next year. The project is expected to cost three million dollars. Workers will drill deep in the side of a sandstone mountain. Temperatures in the area never rise above zero degrees Celsius. The seeds will be protected behind concrete walls a meter thick andhigh-security doors.The magazine report says the collection will represent the products of ten thousand years of farming. Most of the seeds at first will come from collections at seed banks in Africa, Asia and Latin America. To last a long time, seeds need to be kept in very low temperatures. Workers will not be present all the time. But they plan to replace the air inside the storage space each winter. Winter temperatures on the island are about eighteen degrees below zero Celsius. The cold weather would protect the seeds even if the air could not be replaced.Mr. Fowler says the proposed structure will be the world’s most secure gene bank. He says the plant seeds would only be used when all other seeds are gone for some reason.Norway first proposed the idea in the 1980s. But security concerns delayed the plan. At that time, the Soviet Union was permitted use of Spitsbergen. New Scientist says the plan won United Nations approval in October at a meeting in Rome of the Food and Agriculture Organization. 1．The project is meant to_____.A．increase the world’s food production in the futureB．carry out some scientific experiments on plant genesC．protect crop seeds from dying out in case of possible disastersD．build an exhibition centre of the world’s plant seeds2．Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the above passage?A．The government of Norway will perform the project alone.B．Seeds to be collected there were produced ten thousand years ago.C．Spitsbergen is chosen because it is away from the threat of unclear war forever. D．Temperature is a major consideration when choosing the storage place.3．We can infer from the text that_____.A．People will get newly-developed seeds from the center every yearB．The storage center will greatly promote the development of world agriculture C．Norway meant to have built the storage centre more than 20 years agoD．There haven’t been any seed storage centers in the world before4．What is probably the best title of the passage?A．Noah’s Ark of Plant Seeds in PlanB．The Best Place to Store SeedsC．Concerns of World Food SupplyD．A New Way to Feed the WorldResearchers have just offered evidence in a study that says obesity appears to spread through social ties, much like a virus. When one person gains weight, their close friends often follow. But the finding might also offer hope.If friends help make obesity acceptable, then might also be influential in losing the fat. The researchers note that support groups are already an effective tool in dealing with other socially influenced problems, like alcoholism.The findings appeared in the New England Journal of Medicine, The researchers used information collected from 12,000 people. It was collected between 1971 and 2003 as part of the Framingham Heart Study.The information was highly detailed. There was even contact information for close friends of the people in the study.The researchers examined more than 40,000 social ties. They found that a person’s chances of becoming severely overweight increased by 57% if a friend had become obese.A sister or brother of a person who became obese had a 40% increased chance ofbecoming obese. The risk for a wife or husband was a little less than that.Nicholas Christakis of Harvard Medical School was a lead investigator in the study. He says there is a direct causal relationship between a person getting fat and being followed in weight gain by a friend.The study found that the sex of the friends was also an influence. In same-sex friendships a person had a 70% increased risk of becoming obese. Men had a 44% increased risk of becoming obese after weight gain in brother. In sisters, it was 67%.The researchers also considered the effect of where people lived in relation to each other. James Fowler of the University of California, San Diego, was the other lead investigator. He says a friend who lives a few hundred kilometers away has as much influence as one in the same neighborhood. He says the study demonstrates the need to consider that a major part of people’s health is tied to their soci al connections.Both investigators say their research shows that obesity is not just a private medical issue, but a public health problem.5．What does the underlined sentence in Para. 2 mean?A．Obesity has a negative influence on a close friend.B．Friends might also play a part in losing weight.C．One might have a positive influence on one’s friend.D．Friends usually don’t follow each other to lose weight.6．Who is mostly likely to gain weight?A．A man who has a fat brother B．A husband who has a fat wifeC．A wife who has a fat husband D．A woman who has a fat female friend 7．Which of the following statements doesn’t the passage agree with?A．You are sure to lose weight if you have a skinny friend.B．If one gains weight, one’s friends are likely to get fat.C．A person’s health is closely linked with his /her social relationship.D．Even if the friend lives far away, the influence still remains.8．The reason why the study involves both family members and friends is that_______. A．researchers fail to find a more different sampleB．researchers have different ideas for family members and friendsC．researchers can meet these people regularlyD．researchers can compare the resultsTime spent in a bookshop can be most enjoyable, whether you are a book-lover or merely go there to buy a book as a present. You may even have entered the shop just to find shelter from a sudden shower. Whatever the reason, you can soon become totally unaware of your surroundings.The desire to pick up a book with an attractive dust jacket is irresistible, although this method of selection ought not to be followed, as you might end up with a rather dull book.You soon become interested in some book or other, and usually it is only much later that you realize you have spent far too much time there and must dash off to keep some forgotten appointment—without buying a book, of course.This opportunity to escape the realities of everyday life is, I think, the main attraction of a bookshop. There are not many places where it is possible to do this. A music shop is very much like a bookshop. You can wander round such places to your heart’s content. If it is a good shop, no assistant will approach you with the inevitable greeting: “Can I help you, sir?” You needn’t buy anything you don’t want. I n a bookshop an assistant should remain in the background until you have finished browsing. Then and only then, are his services necessary. Of course, you may want to find out where a particular section is, but when he has led you there, the assistant should retire discreetly and look as if he is not interested in selling a single book.You have to be careful not to be attracted by the variety of books in a bookshop. It is very easy to enter the shop looking for a book on, say ancient coins and come out carrying a copy of the latest best-selling novel and perhaps a book about brass-rubbing-something which had only slightly interested you up till then. This volume of the subject, however, happened to be so well illustrated and the part of the text you read proved so interesting that you just had to buy it. This sort of thing can be very dangerous. Apart from running up a huge account, you can waste a great deal of time wandering from section to section.9．The underlined phrase “dust jacket” means_______.A．a kind of clothes B．a paper cover of bookC．a dusty book D．a title of a book10．You may spend too much time in a bookshop because_______.A．the dust jackets are very attractiveB．you start reading one of the booksC．it is raining outsideD．you have to make su re you won’t buy a dull book as a present11．In a good bookshop_______.A．all the books there are interesting B．the assistant greets you in a warm way C．your heart is satisfied D．you feel that you are in a music shop 12．The best title for this passage may be_____.A．The Attraction of Bookshops B．How to Spend Your Time C．Bookshops and Their Assistants D．How to select Books?Windows not only let light in to cut down an electricity use for lighting, but the light coming through the window also provides heat. However, windows are not something people typically associate with being a cutting edge technology. Researchers are now working on new technologies that enable a window to quickly change from clear to dark and anywhere in between with a turn of a switch.“It took us a long time to figure out what a window really is,” says Claes Granqvist, a professor of solid-state physics at Uppsala University In Sweden. “It’s contact with the outside world. You have to have visual contact with the surrounding world to feel well,” So ,windows and natural light are important for improving the way people feel when they’re stuck indoors.Yet, windows are the weak link in a building when it comes to energy and temperature control. In the winter, cold air leaks in. When it’s hot and sunny, sunlight streams in. All of this sunlight carries lots of heat and energy. And all of this extra heat forces people to turn on their air conditioners. Producing cold air, which can feel so refreshing, actually suck up enormous amounts of electricity in buildings around the world.Windows have been a major focus of energy research for a long time. Over the years, scientists have come up with a variety of strategies for coating, glazing, and layering windows to make them more energy efficient. Smart windows go a step further. They use some technologies involving changes of color.Electrochromic windows use electricity to change color. For example, a sheet of glass coated with thin layers of tungsten oxide works bit like a battery. Tungsten oxide is clear when an electric charge is applied and dark when the charge is removed. That is, when the amount of voltage is decreased, the window darkens until it’s completely dark after all electricity is taken away. So applying a voltage determines whether the window looks clear or dark.One important feature that makes a smart window so smart is that it has a sort of“memory”. All it takes is a small shock of voltage to turn the window from one state to the other. Then, it stays that way. Transitions take from 10 seconds to a few minutes, depending on the size of the window. The development of smart windows could mean that massive air conditioning systems may no longer need. “In the future,” Granqvist says, “our buildings may look different.”13．Which statement dose not indicate the importance of windows as described in the first two paragraphs?A．Windows can change from clear to dark to save energy.B．Windows help to save energy by letting light in.C．Windows help to save energy by providing heat.D．Windows enable people to have contact with the outside world.14．According to the passage, smart windows are windows .A．that are coated B．that use electricityC．the color of which can be changed D．that have many layers15．To make electrochromic windows change color, what is applied to the window glass? A．Electricity B．Tungsten oxide C．A battery D．A voltage二、七选五About a year ago I spent the night at my cousins house, it was about 2 a. m. and I heard a noise coming from outside. 16．I was about to get up to tell her when all of a sudden I couldn’t move. After that incident it always happened when I was about to go to sleep, half awake or half asleep. 17．For example, last night I woke up during the night around 3: 30 as usual. I continued to fall back to sleep. As soon as I shut my eyes, and was half way’s asleep, I started to hear a sound. 18．Yet, I was able to feel myself trying to fight it. I did the routine of praying to God and my uncle who passed away. 19．I thought since it h appened once it wouldn’t happen again, but I was wrong, the same thing happened.I always wonder what would happen if I don’t fight it. I think it happens to me at that time because that’s a time when I am most easily attacked; 20．I’m thinking they do it at that time because they think I’m going to give in and not fight back. If anyone of you has dealt with what I have experienced, can you tell me what I should do?A．Sometimes it happened to me 3 times a night.B．I’m so sleepy and I don’t want to wake up.C．But it came to my head and touched me.D．It sounded as if someone was opening her gate in the dark.E.I am so scared that I can’t fall asleep at once.F.I tried to move but I couldn’t.G.It stopped seconds after and I felt relieved.三、完形填空At the mid-May in 2018,the 69 year-old amputee(破截肢者）Xia Boyu finally stood proud on two artificial legs on the peak of Mount Qomolangma,a symbol showcasing to the world the power of 21More than 40 years ago,Xia 22 both of his feet to frost bite after lending his sleeping bag to a team member during the trip to climb Mount Qomolangma.Even though artificial legs were not 23 in China at the time,Xia strongly 24 that he would one day fulfill his 25 dream and so,before that day came,the best thing to do was to 26 himself by training constantly.Three years later he finally got his new legs,which enabled him to 27 his sports career.However,fate once again took a 28 turn when he was in his 40s.In 1993,illness developed on the stumps(残肢）on his legs,which required 29 third of his lower legs be amputated.Three years after that,he was diagnosed with lymph cancer.Over the years,Xia never gave up his dream of climbing Mount Qomolangma. 30to his final successful climb in 2018,he had tried four other times to climb to the summit,but each time Lady Luck gave him the 31The last time he 32 his dream was in 2016.The then 67-year-old was only 94 meters from the summit,but a snow storm 33 his way.Taking his team members' 34 into consideration,Xia made the 35 decision to go back.On May 14,Xia felt 36 and a strong sense of fulfillment 37 inhim,standing on the peak of the highest mountain in the world.“The key is to focus on your dreams,inste ad of the 38 you encounter along the way.I didn't regret anything that I had done and accepted everything that life had 39 me,but I never stopped fighting against 40 ,”Xia said,stressing that fulfilling one's dream has nothing to do with age,disability or the thoughts or expectations of others,but a firmbelief in yourself.21．A．strength B．confidence C．dreams D．mind 22．A．lost B．gave C．cost D．paid 23．A．affordable B．available C．acceptable D．reachable 24．A．confirmed B．assured C．believed D．suspected 25．A．unchallenged B．unfinished C．unsolved D．unreached 26．A．pressure B．present C．prepare D．preserve 27．A．continue B．begin C．complete D．take 28．A．sudden B．sharp C．good D．dark 29．A．one B．other C．the other D．another 30．A．Back B．Contrary C．Previous D．Similar 31．A．cold shoulder B．red carpet C．tough nut D．last straw 32．A．put effort into B．got close to C．devoted himself to D．threw himself into33．A．blanketed B．bathed C．blocked D．smoothed 34．A．safety B．honor C．credit D．struggle 35．A．final B．heartbreaking C．wise D．disappointing 36．A．tiredness B．relief C．pain D．loneliness 37．A．showed up B．welled up C．came up D．sprang up 38．A．distrust B．doubt C．criticism D．hardships 39．A．thrown at B．provided for C．arranged for D．distributed to 40．A．challenges B．fate C．fear D．mischiefs四、用单词的适当形式完成短文阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。

AWorlds of FunLocation: Worlds of Fun is located off Highway 435 in Kansas City, Missouri.History: Worlds of Fun was opened on May 26, 1973, at a cost of 25 million dollars. Loosely themed around the Jules Verne book, Around the World in Eighty Days, the park was founded by Hunt Midwest Company. In 1982, Hunt Midwest bought a nearby waterpark, Oceans of Fun. In 2013, Worlds of Fun and Oceans of Fun were combined to a one ticket admission, providing all guests with access to 235 acres of amusement and water rides.Hours: Worlds of Fun is open from April through Halloween.Tickets: Buy and print online. Always try to buy your tickets in advance, to save time when you get to the park.Reservations: Worlds of Fun sells “Fast Lane” cards that save riders’ time by allowing them to bypass the majority of wait for most of rides and attractions including Mamba, Prowler, and Patriot. Ride as many times as you want all day long.Strategy: Most visitors tend to begin the day with Prowler, the hottest attraction in the park. Use that tendency to your advantage and head to the Patriot first. After that, try the Dragons. Then work your way back to the Prowler. After riding the Prowler, there is only one coaster left, Mamba. Hit it next. If the park is not very crowded, you can ride Boomerang on the way to Mamba. After riding Mamba, head back for a ride on the Wolf. By then you will have tried most of the popular rides and attractions in the shortest possible time.News: In 2017, Worlds of Fun is adding Steel Hawk, a ride that will take guests up 301 feet in the air and spin them at a 45-degree angle for a 60-second flight. Wait to have a try!21. When did Hunt Midwest’s two parks start to share one ticket?A. In 1937B. In 1982C. In 2013D. In 201422. With a “Fast Lane” card, the visitor can _________.A. save some moneyB. avoid lining up for longC. buy tickets onlineD. enjoy all the rides for free23. What is talked about in the part of Strategy?A. The hottest attractions in the park.B. The highest ride in the park.C. The best visiting route.D. The most popular tour season.24. According to the passage, by beginning with______ a visitor can try most of thepopular rides and attractions in the shortest possible time.A. ProwlerB. DragonsC. WolfD. PatriotBMy mom takes pride in the fact that I was talking in three and four word sentences before I was ten months old. Some say it’s a gift while others simply think I talk too much.As my thirties came to a close, I found myself reflecting on my life. I’m very hap py and have no significant regrets. However, when I looked back on those times of difficulty, I saw a clear common denominator(特征); I didn’t seem to know when to stop talking. Whether it was hurting someone’s feelings, or having carelessly told a secret, the incident could have been avoided had I closed my mouth sooner. So I decided to practice the power of quiet.To take this step, I needed to understand how people could sit comfortably in a group and not talk. Why does my husband feel completely content to say nothing in a conversation? He’s highly intelligent and has wonderful opinions but he’ll sit quietly and just listen. Even when he’s asked a pointed question, he’ll answer with few words while still communicating effectively. What a talent!Can you imagine being happy just listening? In surveying those I know who talk less than I do, I got two answers—they either didn’t feel confident enough to speak up, or they just didn’t feel the need to participate in the conversation. Of course there were other reasons for not talking, but these were the two most popular answers.The first one didn’t work for me. I’m just fine letting people know what I think about them, and hopefully it will make the conversation much more interesting. The second one didn’t work either. I do feel the need to participate. I feel it physically like an electrical pulse through my body; sometimes it’s so strong that it causes me to behave badly in the form of interrupting or speaking in an unusually loud voice. I had to look further.An interesting thing happened on this journey to the power of quiet. During my weekly yoga class, it came to me like an answer so clear that the words rang in my head like soft, heavenly bells.I talked too much so people would know I cared about them. It was my way of taking care of those I love. I decided before my fortieth birthday, that from that day forward, those around me would know I loved them, and cared what they thought and felt, but I was going to practice the power of quiet.As my forty-second birthday approaches, I can say that deciding totalk less has been more about focusing on quality rather than quantity. I’ve found that listening more shows those who I care about that I reallydo care how they feel. Now when I break in, it means more to them. Oh, sure, I still have my short periods of talking too much, but for the most part this has been one resolution that I can call a success. 25. In Paragrap2 the writer mentions her husband mainly ______. A. to show how one communicates effectivelyB. to explain the reason for his silence in a conversationC. to give an example of those who have the power of quietD. to give her high opinion of his communication skills26. By “I had to look further”, the writer means she had to ______.A. look into the future in order to succeed in practicing the power of quietB. try harder to prevent herself from talking too muchC. survey people in other areas who talk littleD. find out other reasons why she should talk less 27. Which of the following best describe the writer’s character? A. Kind but pessimistic. B. Loving and active. C. Selfless but proud. D. Stubborn and sensitive.CDuring my high school years, the most important thing was what I was wearing to the Friday night dance and who I was taking. Although college was talked about, it was the least of my worries. When I was graduating eighth grade and starting high school, my olderbrother was graduating twelfth grade and going onto college. For my graduation, he gave me a card in which he wrote, “Enjoy your four years…, they go by fast.” I remember not believing him then, but looking back…, he was right. Those four years shaped who I was as a person, pushed me to my limit and encouraged me to become an adult.However, I was so completely absorbed in my junior and senior years of high school, that when someone spoke of college I brushed it off. I wasn't ready to leave my comfort zone of having all of my closest friends together and knowing what every single day was going to be like . Studyingwas something I did only AFTER I nailed my half-time dance performance. I knew my parents wanted me to go to college, so I told them I would go to community college and I didn’t worry about my SAT scores.When my senior year passed and everyone graduated and went off to theirown college ,I started to wish I had done the same. My friends were living away, meeting new people, discovering new places, and I was living at home and driving to and from class every day. It seemed exactly like high school. I hated it! I thought college was supposed to be different! Why didn’t I take more time to research colleges and do the same? I endedup loving college and wishing I had four years to enjoy the campus atmosphere instead of two.My advice to anyone thinking about attending college is to think about it very seriously and look into all of your choices well ahead of time. Now I have graduated and I am working full time and I would do anything to go back to my high school days for a second chance!28．Why didn’t the author worry about his SAT scores?A．He had a gift for dance.B．He believed his brother would help him.C．He was well prepared for the exam.D．He wanted to go to community college29．When in high school, the author __________________ .A．buried himself in his study all the timeB．drove to and from class every dayC．enjoyed talking about future college lifeD．lived in the school except on holidays30．What did the author’s brother mean by “Enjoy your four years…, they go by fast.”?A．He encouraged the author to leave his comfort zone.B．He advised the author to value the years.C．He wished the author to have more dance.D．He suggested the author aim at a community college.31．Talking of his high school years, the author feels . A．regretful B．Lonely C．angry D．pleasedDThe new two-child policy is making job hunting more difficult for women when about 40 percent of them said they were asked whether they planned to have a second child during job interviews, according to a report in Chongqing.China dropped its decades-long one-child policy in October and allowed each family to have two children. The country now has about 270 million married women of childbearing age.This change has put millions of career women in a dilemma between family and career. Employers also face big challenges as more female workers will have two childbearing leaves, seven to eight months altogether.A human resources website conducted a survey among 500 employers and 5,000 job seekers about how the two-child policy affects the job market.Though two thirds of employers said the policy would make no difference to their recruitment(招聘), the survey showed that more than 70 percent of job seekers believe that bearing a second child will make women less popular in the job market. Forty percent of employers said they will give priority to married women with two children, according to the survey.Lin Xia, 29, quit her job after giving birth to her first child. She is now preparing to return to work. After several inquiries at a job fair, she found that the employers are concerned about future birth plans. "I thought it would be easier to find a job after giving birth," she was quoted as saying by the website. "I had to answer whether I will have a second child before I could get a chance for a job interview."Liang Siqi, 23, a college graduate, said although employers did not ask her the child question yet, she will not plan to have two children. "It (having two children) will definitely affect my career and personal life, so I will have only one," she said.Zhou Jiansong, who is in charge of human resources at a large private high-tech group in Chongqing, said the company will discuss birth issues with interviewees in order to make a better work plans. "We fully respect a women's right to bear a child or two," he said. "But you don't want them to go on a childbearing leave soon after they join your company." The experts expect more labor dispute cases concerning childbearing leave rights when bearing a second child in future.32. As for the influence of the new policy on working women, which of the following is TRUE?A. They will find it more difficult to ask for a leave in a company.B. Most of them will be forced to choose to have two children.C. Those who have two children may find it easier to get a job.D. Many of them will stay at home instead of working outside.33. In the opinion of Zhou Jiansong, what will employers probably do when interviewing women interviewees?A. They will pay no attention to women’s right to have a child or two.B. They will let women interviewees make a future plan.C. They may expect more labor debate cases about interviewees’ second-child plan.D. They may hope to know more about women interviewees’ childbearing plan.34. What can we infer from the report in the passage?A. All the women surveyed in the passage are married.B. Bearing a second child affects the women’s career to some degree.C. About 70 percent of the women were asked whether they planned to have a second child.D. The women bearing a second child get the same chance as before to get a job.35. What is the writer’s attitude towards the new two-child policy?A. PositiveB. CriticalC. IndifferentD. Neutral 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。

From smart-home security to self-driving cars, all the internet-connected devices in our life will be able to talk to each other at lightning-fast speeds with reduced delay. Objectively speaking, the fastest 4G download speeds in the US top out at an average of 19.42Mbps. But by comparison 5G promises gigabit (千兆) speeds.“5G is one of those heralds (使者), along with artificial intelligence, of this coming data age,〞said Steve Koenig, senior director of market research for the Consumer Technology Association.“The self-driving vehicle is a great emblem of this data age, and that is to say, it is a sign of time, because with one single task, driving, you have massive amounts of coming from the vehicle itself, and a variety of sensors are collecting a lot of information to model its environments as it moves. It's pulling in date from other vehicles about road conditions down the lane. It could be weather information, and also connected infrastructure (根底设施) constructors. There's lots of data behind that task, which is why we need the high speed.And virtual reality glasses and headsets haven't yet broken the mainstream, but tech companies are joyfully betting that these devices will eventually replace our smartphones. With 5G, that could actually happen. This is notable because companies such as Apple are reportedly developing AR glasses to assist --- or even replace --- smartphones.Ericsson stated at February's Mobile World Congress how smart glasses could become faster and lighter with a 5G connection, because instead of being weighed down with components, the glasses could rely on hardware for processing power.But don't get too excited. There's still a lot of work to be done in the meantime, including various trials to make sure the radios play nicely with hardware and infrastructure construction so 5G isn't concentrated only in big cities.8.What is the first paragraph mainly about?A. A right security of 5G.B. The super speed of 5G.C. A potential dream of 5G.D. The present world of 5G.9.Which of the following can replace the underlined word“emblem〞in paragraph2?A. exhibitionB. explanationC. sponsorD. symbol10.What do some tech companies expect of virtual reality glasses?A. They will be heavier than present ones.B. They will process power on their ownC. They will serve people instead of smartphones.D. They will bring a big fortune to teach companies.11.What will the author tell us in the next paragraph?A. How to fully expand 5G coverage.B. How to effectively reduce 5G trials.C. How to nicely operate 5G hardware.D. How to widely construct 5G big cities.DA robot created by Washington State University (WSU) scientists could help elderly people with dementia and other limitations live in dependently in their own homes.The Robot Activity Support System, or RAS, uses sensors (传感器) equipped in a WSU smart home to determine where its residents are, what they are doing and when they need assistance with daily activities. It navigates (定位) through rooms and around obstacles to find people on its own, provides video instructions on how to do simple tasks and can even lead its owners to objects like their medication or a snack in the kitchen."RAS combines the convenience of a mobile robot with the activity detection technology of a WSU smart home to provide assistance in the moment, as the need for help is detected." said Bryan Minor, a postdoctoral researcher in the WSU School of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science.Currently, about 50 per cent adults over the age of 85 need assistance with everyday activities such as preparing meals and taking medication and the annual cost for this assistance in the US is nearly $2 trillion. With the number of adults over 85 expected to triple by 2050, researchers hope that technologies like RAS and the WSU smart home will relieve some of the financial pressure on the healthcare system by making it easier for older adults to live alone.RAS is the first robot researchers have tried to apply to their smart home environment. They recently published a study in the journal Cognitive Systems Research that shows how RAS could make life easier for older adults struggling to live independently."While we are still in an early stage of development, our initial results with RAS have been promising," Minor said. "The next step in the research will be to test RAS' performance with a group of older adults to get a better idea of what video reminders and other preferences they have regarding the robot. "12.What plays a key role in RAS serving the elderly?A. Sensors.B. Videos.C. Signal lights.D. Head size.13.What can we learn about RAS?A. It is the first robot used in daily life.B. Its function remains to be tested.C. It can locate people and do any task.D. It can cook for owners on its own.14.What's Minor's attitude toward the future of RAS?A. Doubtful.B. Negative.C. Optimistic.D. Uncertain.15.What would be a suitable title for the text?A. Elderly People Leave the Nursing Home.B. Smart Home Tests First Elder Care Robot.C. RAS, the First Robot to Make Home Smart.D. Older Adults Have Benefited from RAS a Lot.二、阅读七选五〔本大题一一共5小题，一共分〕In American history， Benjamin Franklin was famous for his proverbs． Franklin lived in the 1700s． He was a leader of the American Revolution against English rule． He was also a scientist， inventor and writer．For many years， Franklin published a book called' Poor Richard's Almanac"． He included many proverbs that he had heard or created． (1) Like this one： " Early to bed and early to rise makes a man healthy， wealthy and wise．"Franklin is also remembered for other proverbs like， " A penny saved is a penny earned． " (2)Here are other examples of proverbs that Americans use． (3) Some people say， "All is fair in love and war． " They mean that anything you do in a relationship or in battle is acceptable．(4) In other words， when you are in love with someone， you may refuse to see anything bad about that person．Some people are only interested in having a relationship with someone who is very good-looking． You might tell them that "Beauty is only skin deep．" Your girlfriend may be lovely to look at， but she may also have some bad qualities． (5) Your boyfriend is a wonderful person， but not good-looking． So what a person looks like is not really important．Another proverb is true in love and war or other situations： " Actions speak louder than words．" It means that what you do is more important than what you say．A．Or the opposite may be true．B．The first ones are about love．C．Some of them are still used today．D．Another proverb says "Love is blind"E．A proverb is a short， well known saying．F． This means that money should not be wasted．G． Another proverb about love is， "Absence makes the heart grow fonder．" 16.

After too many hours, Naasih and I arrived in the slum(贫民窟) just as the sun was breaking across the smoggy Delhi sky. It seemed as if the small houses extended for miles, an ocean of tin roofs and laundry lines.Finally, Naasih stopped and turned to me. “Give me your bag,” he said. I handed it to him. I had promised to follow his directions, and in return, I was hoping to find whatever I thought was missing from my life. “I will meet you back here at sunset,” Naasih said and walked away.I began to walk through the streets. No one paid too much attention to the tall, hairless man walking among them. My throat was dry, my stomach turning over with hunger. And then I saw a small house and I knocked softly on the door.A young, skinny man, no older than 25, came to answer it. As I soon found out, the man is named Sankar and he was a Lakers fan. I also learned that he was a recently graduated university student who had left his family to go after a dream of success in the big city. Instead, he had found work in the back of a restaurant.After lunch, Sankar took me to play basketball with a group of children in a trash-filled field down the road. The sun was beginning to fall as the laughter of the basket games echoed (发出回声) across the slum. I had been so caught up in my day with Sankar. I had started the morning in fear and exhaustion, but I was ending the day connected to something much larger.After the game, Sankar and I walked to Rata Road. There stood Naasih. He said, “You’re shining, Leon.” I had been knocked entirely out of my comfort zone, and I felt that wild burst of life that had been missing from my own.24. Why did the author come to Sankar's home?A. To play a game with him.B. To respond to Naasih's request.C. To learn how disadvantaged people live.D. To relieve his hunger and thirst.25. What can we learn about Sankar?A. He studies cooking in university.B. He finds agood job in the city.C. He doesn't live as he dreamsD. He has a great talent for basketball.26. What does Naasih mean by saying “You're shining, Leon” in the last paragraph?A. Leon is an inspiration to him.B. Leon has changed his state of mind.C. Leon is popular among the children.D. Leon is good at connecting with others.27. What is the best title of the passage?A. A Voyage for Finding the SelfB. The Power of Sport GamesC. The Pleasure from Indian SlumsD. A Chance to Make AcquaintancesC83-year-old Antonio Vicente has spent the last four decades of his life fighting against the trend. As Brazilian landowners cut down rainforests to make room for profitable plantations(种植园) and cattle grounds, he struggled to bring the jungles of his childhood back to life.“When I was a child, the peasants cut down the trees to make grasslands and charcoal, and the water dried up and did not come back,” he told the reporters, “I thought: ‘Water is valuable, no one makes water and the population will notstop growing. What is going to happen? We are going to run out of water.’”With only some donkeys and a small team of hired workers, Antonio Vicente set about bringing back the forest to his land. What started out as a weekend hobby soon became a permanent way of life, and Antonio recalls often spending whole days and nights in his young jungle, surrounded by rats and foxes, and eating banana sandwiches for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Over the last 40 years, he has planted an estimated 50,000 trees on his 31-hectare land, which now make up a small but unique area of rainforest, and a haven for wildlife.As the forest grew, the water returned, and Antonio says that there are now over 20 water, sources on his land that were no longer there when he bought it. Then the animals started making a home there, Today, the forest is alive with the sounds of birds and insects living there, and more species are settling in every year.“There are toucans(巨嘴鸟), all kinds of birds, squirrels, lizards, and even the boars are returning,” 83-year-old Vicente says, “If you ask me who my family are, I would say all this right here, each one of these that I planted from a seed.”28．What do we learn about the Brazilian peasants?A. They wasted much water on farming.B. They relied heavily on rainforests for a living.C. They cared much about the environment.D. They focused on short-term profits29．What used to be young Antonio’s biggest concern?A. Overpopulation.B. Water shortage.C. Loss of grasslands.D. Polluted water.30．What does the underlined word “haven” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?A. ShelterB. DisasterC. TrapD. Balance.31．In the last paragraph, Antonio mainly expresses his ________ .A. deep love for rare birdsB. thanks for his familyC. affection for his forestD. pride as a successful farmerDToday, I felt terrible. My head was full of problems, burdens and confusion. I decided to take a walk even though I didn’t know where I would go. The most extra ordinary thing happened when I was out on this walk. I saw an old man sitting on a chair. He was a seller of second-hand shoes. He looked at least 70 years old. He seemed so tired and nobody bought his shoes.I wanted to give him something but I had not brought anything with me. Then, a little girl came toward him. I heard the child say, “Grandpa, may I polish your shoes?”That old man took pity on her and he gave her a shoe to polish. The girl said, “I polish the shoe because I need money to buy my brother a new school uniform.”I heard this and tears filled my eyes. The old man answered, “Oh, little girl. Just stop doing this. Come with me and I will buy you a uniform.”Then they walked to a market and I followed close behind them. There he bought her a uniform. The girl said, “Thank you so much for doing this. May God bless you.”Then she left, leaving the old man smiling. The old man walked away from the market, but I stopped him. I whispered in his ear, “You are a hero! Thank you for your kindness!” As I walked away, I glanced back and I could see him still smiling. I was blown away by the kindness I had just seen. Someone who had so little himself was able to show such incredible generosity! Amazing!My own sadness had disappeared, chased away by the light of this kind act. I began realizing that I have a lot to be thankful for.32．Why did the girl want to polish shoes for the old man?A. To support the old man’s business.B. To show her pity on the old man.C. To earn money to buy something to her brother.D. To attract the attention of passers-by to buy more shoes. 33．What can we know about the old man from the passage?A. He has not enough to eat and wear.B. He is very cold to others.C. He is a kind and generous man.D. He is in poor health condition.34．What was can be described the girl’s character?A. Friendly and caringB.Greedy and kindC.Enthusiastic and impatientD. Mean and sad35．What may the author learn from the old man?A. Compared with helping others, personal sadness is not important.B. One should live by one’s own work, not by others’ help.C. One shouldn’t look down upon the one, who needs help.D. Even though one has little, he should try to help others.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。
