河南省实验中学2015届高三上学期第一次月考英语试题 Word版含答案
2014-2015学年度河南省实验中学高三上期月考英语试题第一部分阅读理解（共两节，满分60分）第一节(共15小题；每小题3分，满分45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。
并在答题卡上将该选项涂黑．AMy brother-in-law opened the bottom drawer of my sister's bureau(衣橱) and picked out a wonderful skirt. "Jan bought this the first time we went to New Y ork, at least 8 or 9 years ago. She never wore it. She was saving it for a special occasion.‖ Well, I guess this is the occasion.He took the skirt from me and put it on the bed. His hands touched the soft material for a moment, then he shut the drawer and turned to me, "Don't ever save anything for a special occasion. Every day you're alive is a special occasion."I'm still thinking about his words, and they've changed my attitude to life. I'm spending more time with my family and friends and less time in committee meetings. Whenever possible, life should be a pattern of experience to enjoy, not suffer. I'm trying to recognize these moments now and treasure them."Someday" and "one of these days" are being lost from my vocabulary. If it's worth seeing or hearing or doing, I want to see and hear and do it now. I' m not sure what my sister would have done if she had known she wouldn't have tomorrow .I think she would have called family members and a few close friends. She might have calleda few former friends to apologize and mend her fences for past things. I like to think she would have gone out for a Chinese dinner, her favorite food.If I knew that my hours were limited ,those little things left undone would make me angry. Angry because I put off seeing good friends whom I was going to get in touch with some day. Angry and sorry because I didn't tell my husband and daughter often enough how much I truly love them.I'm trying very hard not to put off, hold back, or save anything that would add laughter to our lives. And every morning when I open my eyes, I tell myself that every day, every minute, every breath truly, is... a gift from God.1. The best title for the passage would be______.A. Every day is A GiftB. My Poor SisterC. V alue Friendship Every DayD. Every day is An Important Occasion2. Jan bought the wonderful skirt but didn't wear it because______.A. she wanted to wear it on special occasionsB. she kept it as a special gift for someone elseC. she saved it until she grew olderD. she wanted to keep it as a sweet memory3. Which of the following is not the wri ter’s attitude to life?A. spending more time staying with familyB. attending social activities as often as possibleC. enjoying life and valuing every dayD. trying to get along well with friends4.Which of the following can best explain t he expression underlined ―mend her fences for past things‖ in Paragraph 5?A. try to be friendly again with someoneB. break her wordC. give up her point of viewD. keep her promiseBThere are many superstitions(迷信) in Britain, but one of the most widely-held is that it is unlucky to walk under a ladder - even if it means stepping off the pavement into a busy street!①Walking under a ladderIf you must walk under a ladder you can avoid bad luck by crossing your fingers and keeping them crossed until you’ve seen a dog. Alternatively, you must lick your finger and make a cross on the toe of your shoe, and not look again at the shoe until the mark has dried.②UmbrellaAnother common superstition is that it is unlucky to open an umbrella in the house - it will either bring misfortune to the person that opened it or to the household. The superstition could date from the old time when its purpose was to act as a sunshade. If opened indoors, it might be considered to be an attack on the sun. Anyone opening an umbrella indoors in fine weather is unpopular, as it inevitably brings rain!③Number 13The number 13 is said to be unlucky for some, and when the 13th day of the month falls on a Friday, anyone wishing to avoid an inauspicious event had better stay indoors.④Seven years bad luckThe worst misfortune that can befall you is caused by breaking a mirror, as it brings seven years of bad luck! The superstition is supposed to have originated in ancient times, when mirrors were considered to be tools of the gods.⑤Black catIn the UK, Black cats are generally considered lucky in the UK, even though they are connected with witchcraft(巫术). Y ou are said to be lucky if a black cat crosses your path.5. Which experience is considered to be lucky according to the passage?A. Walking under a ladderB. opening an umbrella in the houseC. breaking a mirrorD. a black cat crossing your path.6. Which of the followings is RIGHT in U.K according to the passage?A. Opening an umbrella in the rain is not acceptable or unpopularB. Black cats are generally considered unlucky because they have something to withwitchcraft.C. Bad luck brought by walking under a ladder cannot be avoided using certain waysD. If you are to open a clothes store on May 13 in Britain, you had better change the date.7. Which two superstitions are related to history?A. ①②B.②④ C ④⑤ D. ③④8. It can be inferred from the passage that_________.A. breaking a mirror will cause bad luck because it shows your disrespect (不敬) for the God.B. crossing your fingers and keeping them crossed can help avoid bad luck brought bywalking under a ladderC. number 13 is always unlucky in any situationD. opening indoors it might be considered to be an attack on the sun.CReading poems is not exactly an everyday activity for most people. In fact, many people never read a poem once they get out of high school.It is worth reminding ourselves that this has not always been the case in America. In the nineteenth century, a usual American activity was to sit around the fireside in the evening and read poems aloud. It is true that there was no television at the time, nor movie theaters, nor World Wide Web, to provide diversion. However, poems were a source of pleasure, of self-education, of connection to other people or to the world beyond one’s own community. Reading them was a social act as well as an individual one, and perhaps even more social than individual. Writing poems to share with friends and relations was, like reading poems by the fireside, another way in which poetry has a place in everyday life.How did things change? Why are most Americans no longer comfortable with poetry, and why do most people today think that a poem has nothing to tell them and that they can do well without poems?There are, I believe, three culprits(肇事者)：poets, teachers, and we ourselves. Of these, the least important is the third: the world surrounding the poem has betrayed us more than we have betrayed the poem. Early in the twentieth century, poetry in English headed into directions unfavorable to the reading of poetry. Readers decided that poems were not for the fireside or the easy chair at night, that they belonged where other difficult-to-read things belonged.Poets failed the reader, so did teachers. They want their students to know something about the skills of a poem, they want their students to see that poems mean something. Y et what usually occurs when teachers push these concerns on their high school students is that young people decide poems are unpleasant crossword puzzles.9. Reading poems is thought to be a social act in the nineteenth century because ______________.A. it built a link among peopleB. it helped unite a communityC. it was a source of self-educationD. it was a source of pleasure10. The underlined word ―diversion‖(in Paragraph 2) most probably means ―_________‖.A. concentrationB. changeC. amusementsD. stories11. According to the passage, what is the main cause of the great gap between readers and poetry?A. Students are becoming less interested in poetry.B. Students are poorly educated in high school.C. TV and the Internet are more attractive than poetry.D. Poems have become difficult to understand.12. In the last paragraph, the writer questions ____________.A. the difficulty in studying poemsB. the way poems are taught in schoolC. students’ wrong ideas about poetryD. the techniques used in writing poemsDHow can a creature weighing over 5 tons and normally taking 150 kilograms of food and 120 liters of water per day survive in a desert environment?In the southwest African country of Namibia, and the Sahara lands of Mali further north, the desert elephant does just that.Although not regarded as a separate species from the African elephant, the desert cousin differs in many ways. Their bodies are smaller, to absorb less heat, and their feet are larger for easier walking across sandy surfaces, They are taller, to reach higher branches. They have shorter tusks（象牙）, and most importantly, longer trunks to dig for water in riverbeds.Desert elephants can travel over 70 kilometers in search for feeding grounds and waterholes, and have a larger group of families. They drink only every 3 –4 days, and can store water in a ―bag‖ at the back of their throat, which is only used when badly needed. Desert elephants are careful feeders – they seldom root up trees and break fewer branches, and thus maintain what little food sources are available. Y oung elephants may even eat the dung（粪便）of the female leader of a group when facing food shortage.During drought they are unlikely to give birth to their young but with good rains the birthrate will increase greatly. Desert elephants have sand baths, sometimes adding their own urine（尿液）to make them muddy!As we continue to overheat our weak planet, it can only be hoped that other animal species will adapt as extraordinarily well to change as the desert elephant.13．The underlined part in Paragraph 2 means ―‖.A．remains in the African countriesB．drinks 120 liters of water a dayC．manages to live in desert areasD．eats 150 kilograms of food daily14．Desert elephants are called careful feeders because they _________.A．rarely ruin treesB．drink only every 3-4 daysC．search for food in large groupsD．protect food sources for their young15．What can be inferred from the last sentence in the passage?A．Overheating the earth can be stopped.B．Not all animal species are so adaptable.C．The planet will become hotter and hotter.D．Not all animals are as smart as desert elephants.第二节(共5小题；每小题3分，满分15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。

2021-2022年高三英语上学期第一次月考试题(I)
2021-2022年高三英语上学期第一次月考试题(I)本试卷满分为120分,考试时间为100分钟。
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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
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。

AThe Best Books of 2020On Monday, the American Library Association announced the top children’s books of 2020. Here are the winners.DevotionAuthor Clare Vanderpool took home the John Newbery Medal for outstanding contribution to children’s literature for Moon over Manifest. The book is about a young girl’s magical adventures in a small Kansas town, in 1936.Vanderpool said that she was shocked to learn that she had won. “You grow up reading legendary authors like Madeleine L’Engle, but I never expected to be put in a category with her,” Vanderpool told TFK. “It’s fabulous.”Picture ThisThe picture book A Sick Day for Amos McGee won the Randolph Caldecott Medal. The book was illustrated by Erin E. Stead and written by her husband, Philip C. Stead. It tells the story of an elderly zookeeper and the animals that visit him when he’s not well enough to go to work.“I love drawing animals and I love drawing people and I love drawing the emotional connection between animals and people,” said Stead.More Honored BooksThe Coretta Scott King award, given to an African-American author and illustrator of “outstanding books for children and young adults,” went to Rita Williams-Garcia for One Crazy Summer. Set in 1968, the novel follows three sisters from Brooklyn, New York, who visit their mother, a poet who ran away years ago and lives in California.The king prize for best-illustrated work went to Dave the Potter: Artist, Poet, Slave. The book, which was written by Laban Carrick Hill and illustrated by Bryan Collier, tells the story of a skilled potter who engraved his poems on the clay pots and jars that he made. The enslaved potter, known only as Dave, lived in South Carolina in the 1800s.1.How did Vanderpool feel when she heard the news that she won the medal?A. Astonished.B. Disappointed.C. Embarrassed.D. Depressed.2.Who illustrated the book Dave the Potter: Artist, Poet, Slave?A. Bryan Collier.B. Erin E. Stead.C. Laban Carrick Hill.D. Madeleine L’Engle.3.What can we infer from the passage?A. The book Moon over Manifest tells a story of a zookeeper and his animals.B. A Sick Day for Amos McGee shows us that animals can interact with humans.C.

BI travel a lot, and I find out different “styles” (风格)of directions every time I ask “How can I get to the post office?”Foreign tourists are often confused(困惑的)in Japan because most streets there don’t have names; in Japan, people use landmarks(地标)in their directions instead of street names. For example, the Japanese will say to travelers, “Go straight down to the corner. Turn left at the big hotel and go past a fruit market. The post office is across from the bus stop. ”In the countryside of the American Midwest, there are not usually many landmarks. There are no mountains, so the land is very flat; in many places there are no towns or buildings within miles. Instead of landmarks, people will tell you directions and distances. In Kansas or Iowa, for example, people will say, "Go north two miles. Turn east, and then go another mile."People in Los Angeles, California, have no idea of distance on the map; they measure distance in time, not miles. “How far away is the post office?” you ask. “Oh,” they answer, “it’s about five minutes from here. ’’You say, “Yes, but how many miles away is it?”They don’t know.It’s true that a person doesn’t know the answer to your question sometimes. What happens in such a situation? A New Yorker might say, Sorry, I have no idea. But in Yucatan, Mexico, no one answers “I don't know." People in Yucatan believe that “I don't know" is impolite. They usually give an answer, often a wrong one. A tourist can get very, very lost in Yucatan!4.When a tourist asks the Japanese the way to a certain place, they usually .A. describe the place carefullyB. show him a map of the placeC. tell him the names of the streetsD. refer to recognizable buildings and places5.Which is the place where people measure distance in time?A. New York.B. Los Angeles.C. Kansas.D. Iowa.6.People in Yucatan may give a tourist a wrong answer_____.A. in order to save timeB. as a testC. so as to be politeD. for fun7.what can we infer from the text?A. It's important for travelers to understand cultural differences.B. It's useful for travelers to know how to ask the way properly.C. People have similar understandings of politeness.D. New Yorkers are generally friendly to visitors. CWith the largest population in the world, China has the most mouths to feed on the planet. Consequently, food waste is a great problem in China. It is reported that more than 6% — or 35 million kgs — of the country's total food production is lost before reaching consumers, in the household and warehouse storage, transport and processing sectors. With an ever-growing population, it's imperative to deal with food waste in China.Thankfully, policies covering food waste have been rapidly emerging in recent years. Since 2010, the Chinese government has selected 100 cities and encouraged them to explore alternative waste management systems. In 2016,China amended(修改) its Solid Waste Law to stop illegal dumping(倾倒) and promote recycling and reuse of waste, including food. Restaurants will soon be charged a fee for the amount of food waste they produce. And China is using a good food waste processing method called anaerobic digestion, a process that transforms organic waste into biogas, which can be used as energy, or turned into biofuel.Moving forward, policymakers should consider loss and waste reduction to be as important as increasing production. According to the Food and Agriculture Organization, the current policy system of agricultural subsidisation(补贴) mainly includes price guarantees and subsidies for crops, production materials, seeds and agricultural machinery, which leads to local governments focusing on crop production while paying little attention to the wastage in the supply chain. There should also be increased investment in the construction of new warehouses and special funds for storage, transport, and processing technologies.If food waste were a country, it would be the third-largest emitting(排放) country in the world, generating about 8% of total greenhouse gas emissions. This issue is not location-specific, but an issue that affects every living thing on the planet and should therefore be seen as an essential area to take action in.8.What does the underlined word “imperative” in paragraph 1 mean?A. Impractical.B. Hopeful.C. Costly.D. Urgent9.What can we say about the anaerobic digestion method?A. It has been widely used in restaurants.B. It is required by the Solid Waste Law.C. It is eco-friendly to reuse food waste.D. It has proved effective in 100 cities.10.What is a result of the current agricultural subsidisation policy?A. Food waste in the supply chain is ignored.B. Prices of production materials go up.C. Investment in the supply chain increases.D. Food waste during crop production gets serious.11.What is the main purpose of the text?A. To promote the idea of recycling food waste.B. To call for action against food waste.C. To assess the consequences of food waste.D. To discuss the reasons behind food waste.DScientists have created a new app designed to identify dangerous mosquitoes based on sounds the insects make. The app, called Abuzz, is aimed at helping fight major diseases spread by mosquitoes.Haripriya Vaidehi Narayanan is one of the researchers who helped develop the app. Narayanan told VOA that anyone with a mobile phone could use the app to identify mosquitoes. "If they see a mosquito around, they just take out their phone, open up the app, point their phone towards the mosquito and hit the record button," she said. "Then, when the mosquito flaps its wings and starts flying around, it makes that noise, that annoying buzzing noise. That noise is what gets recorded by the Abuzz app." she added.Many diseases that mosquitoes carry do not have cures or vaccines(疫苗). So, targeting the flying insects is the best way to control them. "The most important step is to know where the mosquitoes are," Narayanan said.Traditional methods for hunting mosquitoes are costly and can take a very long time. The process also requires labor-intensive trapping as well as trained scientists to identify the insects.Manu Prakash is a professor of bioengineering at Stanford University and a lead investigator on the project. He says that out of about 3,500 different mosquito species, only about 40 are dangerous to humans. Prakash says the goal of the project was to find out whether the mosquitoes around a person's house are just an annoyance, or whether they are possibly dangerous.When mosquitoes move their wings up and down, they produce buzzing sounds. But each kind of mosquito makes a slightly different buzzing noise. The app records these sounds. Users of the app can get an answer by recording as little as one or two seconds of the buzzing sound. The app compares this recording to a collection of other recordings. It then predicts which species of mosquito it is most likely to be.By making use of mosquito information worldwide, the app can help build maps of where dangerous mosquitoes are. This can help scientists and health officials identify areas where disease is likely to break out and where to target mosquito control.12.Why is it important to locate mosquitoes?A. Because they are very small and hard to find.B. Because diseases carried by them are a big problem.C. Because mosquitoes flap their wings very quickly.D. Because the buzzing noise of mosquitoes is annoying.13.What will Abuzz do after it records the sound of a mosquito?A. Compare it to a database and identify its species.B. Make a somewhat different buzzing noise.C. Release some chemicals to kill the mosquito.D. Draw a map of the place where the mosquito was.14.In which way could Abuzz help people?A. It can help people control the number of mosquitoes.B. It can help people avoid some species of mosquitoes.C. It can help predict where mosquito-carried diseases are most likely to occur.D. It can help record the mosquito hiding places very quickly.15.What is the best title for the passage?A. The Different Species of Mosquitoes in the WorldB. New Ways to Fight Disease Caused by MosquitoesC. How to Identify Sounds Made by Different MosquitoesD. A New App That Can Identify Dangerous Mosquitoes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。

AWhat is identity theft?Identity theft occurs when someone steals your personal information to take over your credit accounts, open new ones, access bank accounts, or commit many other crimes in your name and at your expense. When it strikes, the effects can be disastrous. What's more, because it frequently involves no physical theft, identity theft may not be noticed by its victims until significant damage has already been done-often several months and thousands of pounds later. It's estimated that more than 100,000 people are affected by identity theft in the UK each year, costing the British economy over £1.3 billion annually.How does it happen?These are some of the ways crooks get hold of your personal information:• Fake emailsYou may receive an email seemingly from, say，your bank requesting that you follow a link and key information into a website that looks very similar to your bank's own site but is in fact a fake.• Pretext p hone callsA crook pretending to be an official from, for example, your bank may phone up asking you to give personal or account details as a security check.• Dishones t peopleSometimes sales assistants, unbeknown (不知情的) to you, swipe your card through a machine which records its details. At the workplace, a fellow employee can use your personal details fraudulently.How can you protect yourself?Be careful who you give your personal details to, and tear up documents like credit-card slips before you throw them away. Don't make this serious crime easy for crooks!1.What do we know about identity theft according to the passage?A. It is a frequent physical theft.B. It is only committed by strangers.C. It is costly to individuals and society.D. It is easy to be noticed by victims.2.Identity theft may happen when _______.A. you receive an email from your bank.B. you give personal details to a fake websiteC. you are requested to pay in cash by sales assistantsD. you tear bank documents before throwing them away3. What is the text?A.A financial survey.B.A history paper.C.A book review.D.A security report.BReal financial security and freedom is not in our job but in our passion. It's easy to define and evaluate a man by his pursuit. Joseph Campbell once said, “Follow your dream and the universe will open doors where there are only walls."In life, we'll always be found doing any of these two things: either making a living or making a difference. Pensions （养老金）and salaries stop many from pursuing excellence while passion unlocks hidden potentials that equip us for challenges and opportunities. A job helps us make a living while passion enables us to make a difference.I want to sincerely help to adjust and clarify the misguided belief among workers that a job is a means of livelihood. Rather, it should be a means to fuel our passion. The earlier you realize thi s basic truth of life, the more clearly you’11 be able to position yourself in living a life of impact and value.The success of Kentucky Fried Chicken（KFC）shows how meaningful it is to pursue your passion instead of your pension. Its founder, Colonel Harland Sanders, didn't realize this until he was given his first social security check of 105 dollars. But he decided that there surely was something to do for himself and other people instead of living on that small pension. He was determined to engage himself in what brought him impact and value. Drawing inspiration from his mother's special recipe for fried chicken, he invented “finger-licking" seasoning with eleven spices and herbs. Despite much rejection, he managed to round up some investors and promote company's rapid expansion to more than 6,000 locations. Sanders’ life pointed towards two facts about making a difference: one, there is no age that is too old to make a difference; two, there is nothing too small or insignificant to make a difference with, as long as it is your passion.4.How does the author support his argument in paragraph 2?A.By listing examples.B.By including a quote.C.By showing contrast.D.By sharing his experience.5.How did Sanders probably feel when offered his first social security check?A. Deeply moved.B. Internally motivatedC. Greatly relieved.D. Pleasantly surprised6.What does the author intend to do ?A.Give career guidance.B.Advise us to pursue our passion.C.Persuade us to get a well-paid job.D.Secure our position.7.What is the best title for this text?A.Following Your DreamsB.Working for PensionC.To Work or not to Work?D.Passion or Pension?COn July 14, 2017, Maryam Mirzakhani, Stanford professor of mathematics and the first female winner of the Fields Medal in Mathematics, died at the age of 40.The news was especially hard-hitting for a generation of younger academics who have always held Maryam as a role model whose example is helping redefine women's status in science and especially mathematics. What was fun was that Maryam always tried to avoid the media's spotlight. Her modesty (谦虚) and simplicity despite being the first woman to gain such high status in the world of mathematics—winning what's often called the "Nobel Prize of math"—stood out to those who knew her.Maryam originally wanted to be a writer, a passion of hers that never faded away even during her postgraduate studies. However, she found an even greater joy in how rewarding it felt to solve mathematical problems. As a student, she was the first female member of Iran's national team to participate in the International Math Olympiad (IMO), and she won two gold medals in two years—still a record.She received her bachelor's degree in Iran and later studied at Harvard. In 2014, Maryam was recognized with the Fields Medal, the highest-ranking award in mathematics. Her work focused on curved surfaces like spheres (球体). Her achievements have applications in other scientific fields including engineering and material science. Unfortunately, at that time she was already tackling the breast cancer.Maryam's legend（传奇）may continue to grow after her early death. Still only 20 percent of full-time math teachers at U.S. universities are women. The example of a woman who rose to the top of this still very male field may help inspire math's next generation.In the same way people think of Marie Curie or Jane Goodall as scientific pioneers, Maryam Mirzakhani will go down in history as a trailblazer as well as a mathematical genius.8.What makes Maryam internationally recognized?A.Her unfading passion for writing.B.Fighting against sexual discrimination.ing under the media's spotlight frequently.D.Being the first female Fields Medal winner.9.What's Maryam's attitude towards fame?A. Resistant.B. Realistic.C. Enthusiastic.D. Doubtful.10.What can we know about Maryam?A.She got her bachelor's degree at Harvard.B.She won gold medals for Iran in IMO.C.She applied mathematics to material science.D.She instructed some female students to reach the top.11.What does the underlined word "trailblazer" mean in the last paragraph?A. Talent.B. Model.C. Pioneer.D. Follower.DIt has been known for some time that children are able to learn at breathtaking speed. But how does it work? That’s what researchers have now found out. Using an artificial intelligence tool and an eye-tracker that tracks the movements of a baby’s eye, scientists from the Thunders Research Institute for Brain, Cognition (认知) and Behavior investigated one of children’s greatest mysteries and came to a surprising conclusion.It may seem very different, but babies are certainly not lying around randomly. “Babies don’t explore the world by chance, with their eyes falling on it. Babies have a strategy if they want to understand the world. First, they look for those pieces of information that allow them to understand other information faster and more efficiently. On the contrary, if they see an object or event from which they can learn nothing further, they simply reject it. Only the information useful to them, they select,” says Dr Francesco Poli.That sounds easier, even for a baby, than done. Because how does a baby know what is important and what is not?“Let’s take a good example: learning to talk. What we see as always is that babies who are about to say their first word begin to investigate a few weeks before how to use their mouths to talk. Instead of looking at the eyes in faces, they study carefully for weeks the mouths of the people who talk to them. So they are in a constant state of maximum learning capacity!”“Babies build their knowledge. They are like little scientists who like to see their idea challenged. For example, they learn very quickly that objects fall down and don’t just disappear. And this is why they love bubbles (泡沫) so much: they do float up and then disappear!”12.What is the surprising conclusion about children?A.They are breathtakingly fast learners.B.They possess exceptional intelligence.C.They explore the world purposefully.D.They are attracted to all information.13.What does the underlined word “that” in Paragraph 3 refer to?A.Studying further.B.Observing the world.C.Learning strategically.D.Understanding information.14.Why can bubbles fascinate babies greatly?A.They challenge babies’ existing cognition.B.They prove what babies have just learned.C.They make little scientists’ life colorful.D.They float up quickly and don’t just disappear.15.Which word can best describe baby learners according to the author?A. Consistent and persistent.B. Observant and capable.C. Confident and optimistic.D. Dynamic and responsible.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。

You can read Charlotte Varela’s book if you want to visit nature reserves by car.3．Where can we most probably read the text？A．A geographic textbook. B．A travel brochure.C．A magazine on wildlife. D．A website about plants.BIt was June 14 and the last day of middle school had arrived.I had spent the past couple of months trashing and treasuring all the things that I hadaccumulated in my classroom over the past 19 years. Looking into my classroom, you can see about two dozen boxes and bins inside, piled nearly three-quarters high to the ceiling, all packed and ready for the big move. The 22-million-dollar restoration work was only days away from starting and we were instructed that everything must go.My parents Michael and Donna, wife Laura and newborn baby Summer had arrivedthat day. The students had heard so much about my daughter and were excited to meet her for the first time. My mother was there to help organize my classroom nearly 19 years ago and hadn’t seen it since. My father had visited on a few occasions, as had my wife. That day marked not only the end of an era for me, but the dawning of a new beginning.The day before, I had thrown a party for my students. The feelings were mixed, as Iknew that this would be the farewell (告别) party in my classroom of 19 years and the last time I would see all of these students together. I thought back to when they were all in middle school and would visit me in my classroom on my birthday. They made it an annual tradition. I will treasure these moments for the rest of my life.Change, like sunshine, can be a friend or a foe (敌人), a blessing or a curse, a dawn or a dusk. I’ve learned over the years in working with over 2, 000 children that looking atthings from an optimistic perspective and taking the time to foster relationships with people make the world a happier and safer place. No matter what a person’s life circumstances may be, you can be the change in their life that will bring them a sense of self-worth, which will ultimately provide them with the opportunity to become who they are meant to be. They might go on to change the world.4．Why did the author pack his things in the classroom?A．He was doing a cleaning.B．He would quit his job as a teacher.C．The classroom would soon be restored.D．His students were graduating from middle school.5．Why are the writer’s family members mentioned in paragraph 3? .A．To explain the family’s relations with his students. B．To demonstrate the family’s involvement in his job.C．To list the family’s contribution to the classroom.D．To show the family’s expectations for a new beginning.6．What does the writer intend to convey in the last paragraph?A．Think of the end in every beginning.B．Change happens for better or for worse.C．It is no good feeling attached to a place.D．A positive attitude brings forth good changes.7．What’s the tone of the writer in writing the article?A．Bittersweet. B．Sad. C．Excited. D．Unconcemed.COne of the many aspects of “normal” life that SARS-CoV-2 took away was the enjoyment of live musical performances. With the easing of lockdowns and restrictions in many parts of the world, performers can entertain audiences once again, but concerns about spreading the virus remain. Now, a research reported in ACS Environmental Au have studied aerosol (悬浮颗粒) production from playing wind instruments, singing and acting, allowing them to develop recommendations to minimize COVID transmission.Early in the pandemic, COVID-19 outbreaks from choir performances indicated that singing carries a potential infection risk, but less is known about the risks of airborne infection from wind instruments. To help keep performers, audiences and music studentssafe, Tehya Stockman, Shelly Miller and colleagues wanted to examine aerosol production and flow in the air from various musical activities, as well as test different solutions.The researchers examined the extent and speed of air circulation, or small drops of substances, coming from singers’ and actors’ mouths and from wind instruments, such as the flute, clarinet (单簧管), trumpet and saxophone. They also measured airborne aerosols and carbon dioxide levels exhaled from the performers. They found that aerosol concentrations coming from the bell of a clarinet were comparable to singing. Placing a surgical mask over a singer’s face or over the clarinet bell sharply reduced the extent and speed of air circulation and decreased aerosol concentrations in front of the masks. The team then used these measurements to model virus transmission in indoor and outdoor environments, finding that the lowest risk of airborne COVID-19 infection occurred at less than 30 minutes of exposure indoors and less than 60 minutes outdoors. These findings could help musical rehearsals and performances continue in a safer manner for musicians and audiences, the researchers say.8．What is the purpose of the research?A．To remove lockdowns and restrictions.B．To promote live musical performances.C．To find ways to reduce spread of the virus.D．To reduce aerosol production from instruments.9．What have the researchers done to keep people safe?A．They have increased air flow from various musical activities.B．They have indicated that singing carries a possible infection risk.C．They have tried to measure the risk of infection from instruments.D．They have found out approaches to preventing aerosol production. 10．What does the underlined word “exhale” mean in Paragraph 3?A．breath out B．give away C．take in D．test out 11．Which of the following is a finding of the research?A．Less than 30 minutes of exposure indoors avoids virus transmission.B．Using a surgical mask can reduce the risks of airborne virus infection.C．The manner of the musicians and audiences affects the risks of infection.D．Aerosol concentrations from a clarinet is much more obvious than singing.DCan you imagine there being a community where boys and girls growing up together can finally speak different 1anguages? In Ubang, Nigeria, it really happens. It’s not exactly clear what percentage of the words in the men’s and women’s languages are different, but there are enough examples to make sentences sound different when spoken by the opposite sex. For “clothing”, men use the word “nki”, while women say “ariga”; “kitchi” means tree for men, while women say “okweng”. These are not just some slight pronunciation differences, but totally different words. “It’s almost like two different lexicons (词汇集),” a language expert, Chi Chi Undie said. “There are a lot of words that men and women share in common, but there are others which are totally different depending on your sex. They don’t sound alike, and don’t have the same letters. They are completely different words.”Interestingly, both men and women are able to understand each other perfectly in Ubang, as both boys and girls grow up around their parents and get to learn both languages, but by the age of 10, boys are expected to speak in the male tongue. It seems that there is a stage the male will reach and he discovers he is not using the rightful language. When he starts speaking the men’s language, you know the maturity is coming into him.No one really knows how or why the double-language tradition of Ubang began. Chi Chi Undie believes the two languages are the result of a “double-sex culture” where men and women operate and live in separate worlds that rarely come together. However, she admits this is a weak theory, as the double-sex culture is present in many parts of Africa, where there are no different languages for men and women.Today, with English words constantly entering the lexicon of young Nigerians, Ubang’s two languages are in danger of being lost forever. Worse still, neither the male nor female language is written down, so they both rely on young people passing them down to the next generation.12．What do we know about languages in Ubang?A．A majority of words are different in the two languages.B．Men and women speak completely different languages.C．Men and women have different pronunciation for the same word.D．There are obvious differences in languages between the opposite sex. 13．Why can men and women understand each other despite the differences?A．Their vocabularies sound alike.B．Their parents teach them both languages.C．The men can speak two different languages.D．They are exposed to both languages in childhood.14．What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?A．The origin of “double-sex culture” B．The formation of the two languages.C. Further exploration of other areas.D. Doubt about the language tradition.15．Why are the two languages disappearing?A．Young people in Ugang use more English words.B．The two languages are too difficult for the young.C．Neither of the language is written down.D．The “double-sex culture” has changed.第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）阅读短文，从短文后选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

Instead,each bag came with a small blue packet of salt____24____(shake)over the contents.Murphy started with artificial flavours of cheese and onion.The pairing is a classic,and the flavour combines well with potatoes.“Potatoes,”____25____(write)Seamus Heaney, one of Ireland’s greatest poets,“promise the taste of ground and root”.The ____26____(poetic)might describe them as a bit plain.Sprinkled with the salty umami(鲜味) of Murphy’s seasoning,however,they became a cut-price sensation.Taytos remain the classic Irish crisp,but now they are available elsewhere,____27____, of course,many other brands of flavoured crisps are.That is a mixed blessing.Once upon a time even industrially produced foods had a limited range.To travel was to discover not only the cooking in other places,but the snacks.Going to France was a chance to chug(一饮而尽)a bottle of Orangina,a fizzy drink.For me,Taytos were____28____once-a-year treat, to be eaten on a beach in south-west Ireland shivering after an icy swim or sweating at the top of a mountain.Thanks to a globalised food system and the appetites of homesick migrants,such items are now available far beyond their lands of origin.That shift results in the loss of a modest joy.At first glance a bag of Taytos is the opposite of a seasonal or local food.____29____(enclose)in their silvery plastic,they survive in all seasons and locales.And yet,for me at least,these potato snacks are entangled with their Irish roots.The ingenious seasoning should taste no different____30____I am in a London park or in Murphy’s homeland.But somehow it does.(B)Are you afraid of getting old?____31________31________31____we get past the age of25,many of us immediately feel the urge to stop the signs of ageing—especially the visible ones.Men and women are now using topical“anti-ageing”creams,spa treatments and medical procedures____32____(counter)many of them.____33____these methods can somewhat affect the way you look,ageing is an internal process.A new study has found exactly when during your lifetime this process peaks.A group of scientists based out of the Stanford University School of Medicine have discovered that____34________34____being a smooth,continuous process,ageing surges forward at three distinct stages of life:first,at the age of34,then at age60,and finally at78.The study,published in Nature Medicine,reveals that scientists can not only predict your age by studying the proteome(protein levels in the blood)but also determine which organs are ageing faster than____35________35____,and which age-related diseases your body is more likely to develop.The study measured plasma proteins(血浆蛋白) collected from4,263adults between the ages of18-95years and studied the changes in the proteome that occurred with age.Their ultimate goal was to understand how to identify the changes associated with cardiovascular issues and age-related diseases like Alzheimer's____36________36____ therapeutic treatments can be devised to counter their onset while there's still time.Dr Tony Wyss-Coray,one of the leading members of the study,told Stanford Medicine News Center,“We've known for a long time that____37____(measure)certain proteins can give you information about a person's health status—lipoproteins(脂蛋白)for cardiovascular(心血管的)health,for example.But it____38____(not appreciate)that so many different proteins'levels—roughly a third of all the ones we looked at—change markedly with advancing age.”This difference between the chronological(按时间计算的)and physiological(生理的) age,according to the scientists'“plasma-protein clock”,showed that a lot of people in the study seemed younger than they actually are.What's more,the study also confirmed that men and women,though equally____39____(represent)in the study,age differently.Does this mean medications and lifestyle methods,with further research,can also be devised to help____40____ages too rapidly and is at risk of contracting age-related diseases like hypertension and Alzheimer's?You never know.Section B:Directions:Complete the following passages by using the words in the box.Each word can only beIt launched an independent review of security after items including gold jewellery and gems of semiprecious stones and glass dating from the15th century BC to the19th century AD were found to be missing,stolen or damaged.Legal action against the____41____member of staff will be taken and the matter is also being investigated by the economic crime command of the Metropolitan police.George Osborne,the museum’s chair,said:“The trustees of the British Museum were extremely____42____when we learned earlier this year that items of the collection had been stolen.“The trustees have taken____43____action to deal with the situation,working with the team at the museum.We called in the police,imposed emergency measures to increase security,set up an independent review into what happened and lessons to learn,and used all the____44____powers available to us to deal with the individual we believe to be responsible.“Our priority is now threefold:first,to____45____the stolen items;second,to find out what,if anything,could have been done to stop this;and third,to do whatever it takes,with investment in security and collection records,to make sure this doesn’t happen again.“This incident only reinforces the____46____for the reimagination of the museum we have embarked upon.It’s a sad day for all who love our British Museum,but we’re determined to____47____the wrongs and use the experience to build a stronger museum.”Hartwig Fischer,the museum’s director,said:“This is a highly unusual incident.We take the safeguarding of all the items in our care____48____.The museum apologises for what has happened,but we have now brought an end to this–and we are determined to put things right.We have already tightened our security arrangements and we are working alongside outside experts to complete a definitive____49____of what is missing,damaged and stolen.This will allow us to____50____our efforts into our work to ensure the stolen items are returned to the museum.”III.Reading ComprehensionSection ADirections:For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A,B,C and D.Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.I own a market research company,so I understand the importance of gathering data from your target audience and using that data in order to make product development.I also know that surveys can provide____51____information that's extremely valuable to our clients.But the quality of the data you get as an output from surveys is only as strong as how well you____52____the survey questions.One of the main pitfalls I see teams make is writing leading questions that might get the company results they want to hear,but those results are not always____53____.Below are common ways I've seen companies ask leading questions and how to avoid them:1.Don't make assumptions for your participants.“How well do you think we delivered on your project?”implies your team did a good job.To make it more objective,____54____to ask,“How did we deliver on your project?”It's a subtle change,but the second question takes out the implicit bias.2.Balance the options from which participants can choose.Let's say you want to know the level of satisfaction or dissatisfaction customers have with your product or service.If you ask this in a multiple-choice format,you need to ensure the____55____is balanced for both positive and negative responses.The following options, for example,would not work:•Extremely satisfied•Very satisfied•Satisfied•Somewhat unsatisfied•UnsatisfiedAs a rule of thumb,if you have“extremely”on the positive end,you should have “extremely”on the negative side as well,and give a(n)____56____option in the middle of the scale.3.Don't'lead the witness'(or participant).Again,if you're seeking____57____(and you should have started with knowing why you're conducting the survey in the first place),you don't want to put statements in front of a question that will lead participants to____58____in a certain way.____59____,my company works a lot with educational technology companies.We would never write a question such as this:“Most of the people who use this educational technology product say that the adaptive and personalized nature of the product is better than others on the market.What do you think?”This is because,now,the participant knows exactly what we want them to think.4.Avoid double-barrel questions.Be mindful about including two questions in one and____60____how a participant can respond.Say you ran an event for customers;you wouldn't want to ask,“What do you think about the location and the quality of the speakers?”and then have multiple choice options where they are really only able to respond to one question.They might have loved the venue but hated your presenters.The____61____of the data you gather is compromised when you put questions together.5.Don't write coercive questions.These questions don't sit well.In my experience,they tend to come up more in customer ____62____surveys and employee surveys when you really want to be able to highlight the positives.Examples of coercive questions include:"You'll leave us a positive Google Review,won't you?""You'll tell your friends to visit our restaurant,right?"Naturally,these are full of bias,so they should be avoided____63____.Know what the goals of your survey are.If you want to get data that____64____biases, yes,leading questions can help you get those data points.But the integrity of the data cannot be trusted when you're not writing questions in a(n)____65____way for your participants to answer.51. A.quantitative B.controversial C.mysterious D.proper52. A.craft B.pave C.tempt D.anchor53. A.delightful B.dominant C.accurate D.independent54. A.repeat B.rephrase C.restore D.refresh55.

A.isolated B.objective C.selected D.reflectiveSection BDirections:Read the following three passages.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 just read.(A)In winter,Hammerfest is a thirty-hour ride by bus from Oslo,though why anyone would wantto go there in winter is a question worth considering.It is on the edge of the world,the northernmost town in Europe,a place of dark and fierce winters,where the sun sinks into the Arctic Ocean in November and does not rise again for ten weeks.I wanted to see the Northern Lights...but now as l picked my way through Oslo in late December.I was beginning to have my doubts.Things had not started well.I had overslept at the hotel,missing breakfast,and had to leap into my clothes.I couldn't find a taxi and had to drag my over-weighted bag eight blocks to the central bus station.I had had huge difficulty persuading the staff at the Kreditkassen Bank on Karl Johans Gate to cash sufficient traveller's cheques to pay the1,200-kroner bus fare------they simply could not be made to grasp that the William McGuire Bryson on my passport and the Bill Bryson on my traveller's cheques were both me-and now here l was arriving at the station two minutes before departure...and the girl at the ticket counter was telling me that she had no record of my reservation.'This isn't happening,'I said.'I'm still at home in England enjoying Christmas...'Actually,I said, 'There must be some mistake.Please look again.'The girl studied the passenger list.'No,Mr Bryson,your name is not here.'But I could see it,even upside-down.'There it is,second from the bottom.''No,'the girl decided,'that says Bernt Bjornson.That's a Norwegian name.''It doesn't say Bernt Bjorson.It says Bill Bryson.Look at the y,the two ls.Miss,please,’But she wouldn't have it.'If I miss this bus,when does the next one go?''Next week at the same time.'Oh,splendid.'Miss,believe me,it says Bill Bryson.''No,it doesn't.''Miss,look,I've come from England.I'm carrying some medicine that could save a child's life.' She didn't buy this.'l want to see the manager.''He's in Stavanger.''Listen,I made a reservation by telephone.If I don't get on this bus,I'm going to write a letter to your manager that will cast a shadow over your career prospects for the rest of this century.'This clearly did not alarm her.Then it struck me.'If this Bemt Bjorson doesn't show up,can l have this seat?''Sure.'Why don't I think of these things in the first place...?'Thank you,'I said...66.What can be learned from the passage about Hammerfest?A.It is located in the South of the city of Oslo.B.It is where the Northern Lights can be seen.C.It remains a town without sufficient power supply.D.It remains in the darkness from November till next March.67.The writer got to the station just two minutes before the train's departure because he spent much time_____.A.cashing his traveller's chequesB.finding a place to have breakfastC.waiting for a taxi to send him thereD.choosing suitable clothes to wear68.By“Oh,splendid”,the writer meant that he actually felt_____.A.puzzledB.amazedC.worriedD.relieved69.Why did the writer say he was carrying some medicine and he would write to the manager?A.To tell the girl what he really wanted to do.B.To show the girl how angry he was with her.C.To warn the girl of the potential consequences.D.To persuade the girl to give him a seat on the bus.(B)Care for a zoom-in observation of animals with no bars between you and the observed as opposed to ordinary zoos?Where to have close-up encounters with some of the world’s most rare animals？We are revealing for you：1.Right whales,Bay of Fundy,CanadaNorthern right whales are on the brink of extinction,but survivors arrive in the Bay of Fundy each summer(May through October)to feed east of Grand Manan Island.They are recognized by a broad back and no dorsal fin,which distinguish them from other whales entering the bay.Planning:Whale-watching tours operate out of Digby Neck peninsula on Nova Scotia and nearby islands,such as Brier Island.St.Andrews.Grand Manan Island.and Deer Island.2.Grizzly bears,AlaskaGrizzlies like salmon.In mid-July and again in mid-August,grizzlies make for Alaskan rivers to hook out the fish with their formidable claws.The bears gather in large numbers at rapids and pools,sometimes fighting for the best sites.Brooks Falls in Katmai National Park,and Fish Creek, near Hyder,have viewing platforms.Planning:Most fishing sites are reached by chartered light aircraft and a hike.Hyder is off the Swart-Cassiar Highway.3.Monarch butterflies,Sierra Chincua,MexicoEach fall,millions of North American monarch butterflies migrate thousands of miles to the oyalmel fir forests of the Transvolcanic Mountain Range,in the state of Mchoacdn.They flock intimately(closely)on tree trunks,bushes,and on the ground,fully showing their gregarious natureand occupy Sierra Chincua and four neighbouring hills that make up the Monarch Butterfly Biosphere Reserve.Planning:Chineua is one of two hills in the reserve open to the public from November through March.4.Komodo dragons,Komodo Island,IndonesiaLanding on Komodo,you would feel like stepping back to a time when dinosaurs ruled the Earth,as park maps reported,“Here be dragons!”This mountainous volcanic island is home to the world's largest living lizard---the Komodo dragon.Weighing79to91kg.the Komodo dragon has a tail as long as its body.You can hike to a viewpoint at Banugulung and watch as park rangers feed food to the lizards,some of which are more than10ft(3m)long.Planning:Komodo is reached solely by boat from Bima(on eastern Sumbawa)or Labuan Bajo (on western Flores).5.Wildebeest migration,Serengeti,TanzaniaUndoubtedly the world's most spectacular wildlife sight is the annual wildebeest migration, when1.4million wildebeest and200,000zebras and gazelles are on the move across the Serengeti plains.The animals are trekking to chase the clean water and fresh grass.Along the way,lions and hyenas stalk them,and crocodiles lie in wait.Planning:The herds migrate across Tanzania from December through July,and then pass through the Masai Mara in Kenya in August and September.70.The underlined word gregarious is closest in meaning to________________.A.being able to climbB.preferring group livingC.migrating in small numbersD.moderate in temper71.Which of the following statements is NOT TRUE according to the passage?A.Right whales are distinguished from other whales by unique appearance features.B.Viewing spots for grizzly bears are accessible by air and on foot.C.Komodo Island is located east of Flores and West of SumbawaD.Wildebeest herds travel to pursue favourable food conditions.72.Li Hua is an adventurous visitor longing for closer look at animals.He is taking a gap year and doing voluntary work now in Indonesia.He will go back to China and further his study next fall. Which of the following will be the most reasonable wildlife-watching route after he finishes his voluntary work this winter?A.Alaska→Bay of Fundy→Sierra Chincua→SerengetiB.Serengeti→Alaska→Bay of Fundy→Sierra ChincuaC.Bay of Fundy→Sierra Chincua→Serengeti→AlaskaD.Sierra Chincua→Serengeti→Alaska→Bay of Fundy(C)Many Americans harbor a false and exaggerated view of most of the risks surrounding food. Fergus Clydesdale,head of the department of food science and nutrition at the University of Massachusetts-Amherst,points out that if the dangers from bacterially polluted chicken were as great as some people believe,“the streets would be littered with people lying here and there.”Though the public increasingly demands no-risk food,there is no such thing.Bruce Ames, chairman of the biochemistry department at the University of California,Berkeley,points out that up to10%of a plant’s weight is made up of natural pesticides.Says he:“Since plants do not have jaws or teeth to protect themselves,they employ chemical warfare.”And many naturally produced chemicals,though occurring in tiny amounts,prove in laboratory tests to be strong carcinogens-a substance which can cause cancer.Mushrooms might be banned if they were judged by the same standards that apply to food additives.Declares Christina Stark,a nutritionist at Cornell University:“We’ve got far worse natural chemicals in the food supply than anything man-made.”Yet the issues are not that simple.While Americans have no reason to be terrified to sit down at the dinner table,they have every reason to demand significant improvements in food and water safety.They unconsciously and unwillingly take in too much of too many dangerous chemicals.If food already contains natural carcinogens,it does not make much sense to add dozens of new man-made ones.Though most people are subject to the small amounts of pollutants generally found in food and water,at least a few individuals will probably get cancer one day because of what they eat and drink.To make good food and water supplies even better,the Government needs to tighten its regulatory standards,enhance its inspection program and strengthen its enforcement policies.The food industry should modify some long-accepted practices or turn to less risky alternatives.Perhaps most important,consumers will have to do a better job of learning how to handle and cook food properly.The problems that need to be tackled exist all along the food-supply chain,from fields to processing plants to kitchens.73.What does the author think of the Americans’view of their food?A.They overstate the government’s interference with the food industry.B.They are overoptimistic about the safety of their food.C.They overestimate the risk of the food they eat.D.They overlook the potential danger caused by the food.74.The author considers it impossible to obtain no-risk food because________.A.no food is free from pollution in the environmentB.pesticides are widely used in agricultureC.many vegetables contain dangerous natural chemicalsD.almost all foods have hazardous additives75.By saying“they employ chemical warfare”(Para.2),Bruce Ames means“________”.A.plants produce certain chemicals to resist pests and diseasesB.plants absorb useful chemicals to promote their growthC.farmers use man-made chemicals to dissolve the natural chemicals in plantsD.farmers use chemicals to protect plants against pests and diseases76.What is the message the author wants to convey in the passage?A.Eating and drinking have become more dangerous than before due to additives.B.Sweeping measures must be taken immediately to ensure safety in food industry.C.Healthy food is a distant dream in the modern society,remaining to be realized.D.There is reason for caution but no cause for alarm with regard to food consumption.Section CDirections:Read the following passage.Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box.Each sentence can be used only once.Note that there are two more sentences than you need.A.They differ in how they space the syllables in a sentence.B.Unlike other languages,English is unusually rich in consonant(辅音)clusters.C.French-speakers are familiar with a U.S.city called yoos-TON,not the English HYOO-ston.D.In“civilisation”the primary and secondary stress is on the4th and1st syllable respectively.E.There is much more to learning a foreign accent than the sounds that the letters on the page represent.F.As with chemistry,the important thing is not just how the elements behave in isolation,but how they cometogether.Why you have an accent in a foreign languageOpen a textbook for a foreign language,the first thing you see is an alphabet,listing the lettersand the sounds they represent.This is obviously crucial for unfamiliar systems,say those of Greek or Russian.But even for languages that rely on the Latin alphabet,the guide will explain how accentmarks change a letter’s pronunciation,and strange features such as the-gl-in Italian.And with that,it’s off to master greetings,vocabulary and so on,with little further thought for pronunciation.This is a shame.____87____To begin with,the rough equivalents given in Englishare often quite rough indeed.In French,the p in Paris sounds rather different from the p in English,a contrast often neglected in textbooks:the French version lacks the strong puff of air of the Englishone.Even when textbooks or instructors mention this sort of difference,the next step is often missing.____88____Each language has rules for these combinations,which native speakers generally grasp but don’t or can’t explain.。

第I卷（选择题，共70分）第一部分听力（共两节，满分30分）（略）第二部分阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）AWhoever has made a voyage up the Hudson River must remember the Catskill Mountains. They are a branch of the great Appalachian family, and can be seen to the west rising up to a noble height and towering over the surrounding country. When the weather is fair and settled, they are clothed in blue and purple, and print their beautiful shapes on the clear evening sky, but sometimes when it is cloudless, gray steam gathers around the top of the mountains which, in the last rays of the setting sun, will shine and light up like a crown of glory (华丽的皇冠).At the foot of these mountains, a traveler may see light smoke going up from a village.In that village, and in one of the houses (which, to tell the exact truth, was sadly time-worn and weather-beaten), there lived many years ago, a simple, good-natured fellow by the name of Rip Van Winkle.Rip's great weakness was a natural dislike of all kinds of money-making labor. It could not be from lack of diligence (勤劳), for he could sit all day on a wet rock and fish without saying a word, even though he was not encouraged by a single bite. He would carry a gun on his shoulder for hours, walking through woods and fields to shoot a few birds or squirrels. He would never refuse to help a neighbor, even in the roughest work. The women of the village, too, used to employ him to do such little jobs as their less helpful husbands would not do for them. In a word, Rip was ready to attend to everybody's business but his own.If left to himself, he would have whistled ( 吹口哨) life away in perfect satisfaction; but his wife was always mad at him for his idleness (懒散). Morning, noon, and night, her tongue was endlessly going, so that he was forced to escape to the outside of the house -- the only side which, in truth, belongs to a henpecked husband.21. Which of the following best describes the Catskill Mountains?A. They are on the west of the Hudson River.B. They are very high and beautiful in this area.C. They can be seen from the Appalachian family.D. They gather beautiful clouds in blue and purple.22. The hero of the story is probably_____________.A. hard-working and likes all kinds of workB. idle and hates all kinds of jobsC. simple, idle but very dutifulD. gentle, helpful but a little idle23. The underlined words "henpecked husband" in the last paragraph probably means a manwho______.A. likes huntingB. is afraid of hensC. loves his wifeD. is afraid of his wife24. What would be the best title for the text?A. Catskill Mountains.B. A Mountain Village.C. Rip Van Winkle.D. A Dutiful Husband.BThe Museum: The Charles Dickens Museum in London is the world's most important collection of material relating to the great Victorian novelist and social commentator (时事评论员).The only surviving London homeof Dickens ( from 1837 until 1839) was opened as a museum in 1925 and is still welcoming visitors from all over the world.

If a family with two adults and five children go to the Museum together, they will save ______compared to going there separately.A. ￥25.00B. ￥14.00C. ￥9.00D. ￥11.0026. According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE?A. In any case people cannot visit the Museum after 17:00.B. Visitors with poor vision cannot enjoy the Museum.C.

The passage is written to _______.A. persuade readers to visit the Charles Dickens Museum.B. inform readers about the history of the Charles Dickens Museum.C. offer readers some information about the Charles Dickens Museum.D. tell readers how to make use of the Charles Dickens Museum.CPlants are flowering faster than scientists predicted (预测) in reaction to climate change, which could have long damaging effects on food chains and ecosystems.Global warming is having a great effect on hundreds of plant and animal species around the world, changing some living patterns, scientists say.Increased carbon dioxide (CO2) in the air from burning coal and oil can have an effect on how plants produce oxygen, while higher temperatures and changeable rainfall patterns can change their patterns of growth."Predicting species' reaction to climate change is a major challenge in ecology," said the researches of several U.S. universities. They said plants had been the key object of study because their reaction to climate change could have an effect on food chains and ecosystem services.The study, published on the Nature website, uses the findings from plant life cycle studies and experiments across four continents and 1,634 species. It found that some experiments had underestimated (低估) the speed of flowering by 8.5 times and leafing by 4 times."Across all species, the experiments under-predicted the speed of the advance — for both leafing and flowering — that results from temperature increases." the study said.The design of future experiments may need to be improved to better predict how plants will react to climate change, it said.Plants are necessary for life on the Earth. They are the base of the food chain, using photosynthesis (光合作用) to produce sugar from carbon dioxide and water. They let out oxygen which is needed by nearly every organism on the planet.Scientists believe the world's average temperature has risen by about 0.8℃since 1900, and nearly 0.2℃every ten years since 1979.So far, efforts to cut emissions (排放) of planet-warming greenhouse gases are not seen as enough to prevent the Earth heating up beyond 2℃this century — a point scientists say will bring the danger of a changeable climate in which weather extremes are common, leading to drought, floods, crop failures and rising sea levels.28. What is the key information the author wants to give in Paragraph 1?A. Plants' reaction to weather could have damaging effects on ecosystem.B. The increasing speed of flowering is beyond scientists' expectation.C. Climate change leads to the change of food production patterns.D. Food chains have been seriously damaged because of weather.29. We can learn from the study published on the Nature website that ________.A. plants' flowering is 8.5 times faster than leafingB. there are 1,634 plant species on the four continentsC. scientists should improve the design of the experimentsD. the experiments failed to predict how plants react to climate change30. Scientists pay special attention to the study of plants because ________.A. they can prove the climate change clearlyB. they are very important in the food chainsC. they play a leading role in reducing global warmingD. they are growing and flowering much faster than before31. What can be inferred from the last two paragraphs about the world's temperature?A. It has risen nearly 0.2℃since 1979.B. Its change will lead to weather extremes.C. It is 0.8℃higher in 1979 than that of 1990.D. It needs to be controlled within 2℃in this century.DA person who compares the annual earnings of college and high school graduates would nodoubt conclude that higher education is a good investment—the present value of the college earnings premium (奖金) (the better part of $1 million) seemingly far outdistances (超过) college costs. But for many, attending college is unequivocally (明确地) not the right decision on purely economic reasons.First of all, college graduates on average are smarter and have better work habits than high school graduates. Those who graduated from college were better students in high school, for example. Thus, at least a portion of the earnings premium associated with college has nothing to do with college itself, but rather with other traits (特性).Second, not everyone is average. A non-swimmer trying to cross a stream that on average is three feet deep might drown because part of the stream is seven feet in depth. The same kind of thing sometimes happens to college graduates too entranced (着迷的) by statistics on averages.Earnings vary considerably between the graduates of different schools, and within schools, earnings differ a great deal between majors. Majors of accounting, computer science, and engineering majors, for example, almost always make more than those majoring in education, social work, or ethnic studies.Third, the number of new college graduates far exceeds (超过) the growth in the number oftechnical, managerial, and professional jobs where graduates traditionally have gravitated (趋向). As a consequence, we have a new phenomenon: underemployed college graduates doing jobs historically performed by those with much less education.Does this mean no one should go to college? Of course not. First of all, college is more than training for a career, and many might benefit from the social aspects of advanced schooling.As a general rule, I would say graduates in the top quarter of their class at a high-quality high school should go on to a four-year degree program, while those in the bottom quarter of their class at a high school with a mediocre educational reputation should not.Those in between should consider perhaps doing a two-year program and then transferring to a four-year school. There are, of course, exceptions to this rule, but it is important for us to keep in mind that college is not for everyone.32. If you only compare the earnings of college and high school graduates, you will conclude that ______.A. some students shouldn't go to collegeB. college education seems to bring a high rate of returnC. attending college is not the right decision for the poorD. college education seems to be not so successful33. From the second paragraph, we know that ______.A. college education is a must for young peopleB. the number of college graduates has been decreasingC. college graduates may get higher earnings because of many good traitsD. it is certain that college students can get higher earnings34. The writer mentions a non-swimmer crossing the stream to show ______.A. not all of the college graduates can get good earningsB. some of the college students can get well paidC. most of the college students can't get a good salaryD. students in some majors are difficult to find jobs35. Which of the following is true according to the writer?A. Society needs more high-quality college graduates.B. Most of the college graduates can find suitable jobs.C. Not all the students have to receive college education.D. We should reconsider the value of school education.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）Everyone knows there are many English expressions about clothes. If I keep talking, soon enough you will start to think I am an old hat about this -- a real expert. Do not be fooled, though. My friends sometimes call me a wolf in she ep’s clothing. 36I’m not really a bad person. But I do love clothes. It is always fun to get dressed up. I look great in my best clothes. 37 In fact, my husband says I look dressed to kill. Of course, I wouldnever kill anyone. But, there is something special about putting on clothes that are pleasing to the eye.My favorite clothes are not modern or fashionable. 38 But I really do not care. Some of the clothes I like best are hand-me-downs. My older sister gave them to me when she no longer wanted them. Hand-me-downs are great because clothes often cost too much money. I live on a shoestring. I have a very small budget and little money to spend on clothes. 39 Maybe someday the shoe will be on the other foot. The opposite will be true. I will have a lot of money to buy clothes and my sister will get hand-me-downs from me.I admit I dream of being rich. I dream that someday I will be able to live like a rich person. 40 Some of my friends got rich by riding someone else’s coat tail s. They are successful today as a result of someone else being successful. But, I believe you should never criticize others for something you would do yourself. What is said about someone else can also be said about you. Remember, if the shoe fits, wear it.A. I will know what it is like to live a rich life.B. Maybe someday they will come into fashion.C. They certainly look worse on me than a birthday suit.D. However, my sister has a lot of money to spend on clothes.E. To be honest, I did not say anything without knowing the facts.F. This is someone who acts like a good person, but is really a bad person.G. You might say when I wear my favorite clothes, I am dressed to the teeth.第三部分英语知识运用（共两节，满分45分）第一节完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）One day on the way to school, a little boy found a cocoon(茧) of a butterfly and watched it almost every day.

The photo-worthy moments we share serve as an important function in cultivating the photographic artistic eye.Instagram has got people to start noticing the art in their everyday life. It has also allowed us to share the artful moments in our lives with others. Clearly, making people focus on beautiful moments in their lives and how to share them is a positive takeaway from Instagram.Not only has Instagram changed the way we look at things around us, but it has also changed the way people view professional photography. Instagram has turned everyone with a smartphone into an artist. Opening up art to the general community is a groundbreaking(创新的) aspect of this application. Making artistic attempts accessible for everyone to discover their artistic talents and explore creatively is something that has made people find the beauty in the everyday. However, this accessibility has also created questioning around art and respect deserved by professional photography.The art in a professional photograph versus an Instagram can sometimes be hard to notice at a quick glance. But photographs taken by true professional photographers hold something that Instagram’s cannot match in terms of photographic quality, or advanced compositional knowledge.This is not to say Instagram is a lesser art. Aesthetic qualities of art are a personal matter and how good an artwork is depends on personal preferences. Good is a very arbitrary term in the art world. For example, I may find one photo more pleasing than another, but not everyone has to agree with me.The point I am trying to make is that professional photography should not be lost, but instead approached wit h a new, enhanced level of respect and admiration — despite how accessible, common and funInstagram now makes the taking and sharing of photos.8.

Absurd.DNew mercury(汞) threat to oceans from climate change Rising temperatures could boost mercury levels in fish by up to seventimes the current rates, said Swedish researchers in an article published in Science Journal. They’ve discovered warming increases levels of the toxin (毒素) in sea creatures. In experiments, they found that extra rainfall drives up the amount of organic material flowing into the seas. This alters the food chain, adding another layer of complex organisms which boosts the concentrations of mercury up the line.Mercury is one of the world’s most toxic metals, and according to the World Health Organization, is one of the top ten threats to public health. The substance at high levels has been linked to damage to the nervous system, paralysis and mental impairment in children.The most common form of exposure to mercury is by eating fish containing methylmercury(甲基水银), an organic form of the chemical which forms when bacteria react with mercury in water, soil or plants. Levels of mercury in the world’s ecosystems have increased by between 200% and 500%, since the industrial revolution say experts, driven up by the use of fossil fuels such as coal.In recent years there have been concentrated efforts to limit the amount of mercury entering the environment, with an international treaty, called the Minamata Convention, signed by 136 countries in place since 2013.Researchers hope that the Minamata treaty will be successful and countries reduce the amount of mercury that is being produced.Otherwise this discovery of a previously unknown source could have impacts for human health.Other researchers in the field say that the new study highlights important issues that have previously been little known.“This work experimentally proves that climate change will have a significant effect of methylmercury budgets in coastal waters and its accumulation in fish,” said Milena Horvat from the Jozef Stefan Institute in Slovenia.“This work will also help us understand the formation of mercury in fish and help reduce mercury from emission sources (primarily industrial).”12. Where did Swedish researchers find warming increases levels of the toxin?A. In the Pacific Ocean.B. On the Continent.C. In Red Sea.D. In sea creatures.13. What can cause damage to the nervous system?A. Exposure to mercury.B. Mercury at high levels.C. Methylmercury.D. The use of fossil fuels.14. How does methylmercury form?A. By limiting the amount of mercury entering the environment.B. By reducing the amount of mercury.C. When bacteria react with mercury in water, soil or plants.D. When climate change returns to normal.15. What can we know from Milena Horvat’s words?A. Climate change will increase the levels of mercury in food.B. Levels of mercury in the world’s ecosystems have increased by between 200% and 500%.C. The Minamata Convention has been signed by 136 countries in place since 2013.D. Mercury reduction from emission sources can be beneficial to fish.第二节（共5个小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余项。
