第 1 页2019届高三英语总复习测试卷四一、阅读理解。
A【河南省开封市2019届高三第三次模拟】Eighteen years ago, Terry Grahl, was pregnant with her fourth child. “Money was very tight.”Terry recalls. So when her mom called to ask if she'd like to go shopping at the localfabric( 布料)store for the coming Christmas, she couldn't say no because she knew she badly needed some fabrics to make new clothes for her children. “1 remember walking around, gazing at all this beautiful fabric, wondering whether there is anything cheap that I could afford. And I could still get some money left to buy Christmas gifts for my family.”Well, Terry's mom must have known what Terry was thinking. Smiling kindly, she whisperedto Terry, “You pick any fabrics you like. It's your Christmas gift from me.”Terry's eyes were filled with tears as the cart began to overflow with many fabrics, but not because Terry was planning on making herself a pretty dress or a pair of curtains for the kitchen. Rather, Terry's mom's kindness had inspired some holiday gift ideas in Terry, and it didn't take longfor Terry to figure out what she was going to do with all that fabric.“I was going to make my first quilt.”She explains. “Every night I would work on this queen-size quilt. With every stitch(一针), I thought about all that my mom had done for me over the course of my childhood, during which we were always battling homelessness, but Mom somehow managed to fill our lives with love and make everything okay.”On Christmas day, five days after her baby girl was born, Terry handed her mom a gift box. Inside was the quilt she had sewn, from the fabric her mother had given her as a gift.1. What do we know about Terry eighteen years ago?A. Terry made a living by making clothes.B. Terry had a bad relationship with her mom.C. Terry and her family lived a hard life at that time.D. Terry often went shopping at the local fabric store.2. Which of the following words best describes her mom? A. Strict. B. Critical C. Faithful. D. Generous.3. What made Terry change her idea about Christmas gift?A. The value of the fabric.B. The responsibility for her family.C. The memory of her childhood.D. The endless love from her mother.4. What is the best title for the text?A. A Christmas DayB. The First QuiltC. Colorful FabricsD. Hard ChildhoodBForget losing weight or saving money—we suggest one simple task to add to your list of inspiring New Year's decisions: read a book. Trust us, and your brain will thank you. Not only does reading increase the amount of daily pleasure in your life, but it could also delay dementia (痴呆) and even help you live longer.But still, picking the perfect novel isn't easy. Thankfully, Business Insider asked a Harvard professor to recommend the one book he thinks every student should read in 2019—and we suggest adding it to your list, too. (No time for all the books on your list? Here's a shortcut: Read the endings to some of the world's most famous books, instead.) Steven Pinker, Professor of Psychology at Harvard, recommends TheInternationalists by legal scholars Hathaway and Shapiro. The book makes a surprising claim that the Kellogg-Briand Paris Peace Pact (条约) of 1928, which declared war illegal, has caused a steady drop in war throughout history.“But in their fascinating and evidence-rich book, they make a lifelike case,”Pinker said. “And like The Clash of Civilizations and The End of History, the book presents a sweeping vision (视野) of the international scene, making sense of many developments in the news and recent history.”Other professors at Harvard recommended classics like Anna Karenina by Tolstoy, as well as Just Mercy by Stevenson, The Theory of Moral Sentiments by Adam Smith, and Robot-Proof by Joseph Aoun.So, go ahead and give (at least) one of these books a read in 2019! And while you're at it, you should add the following 20 books you really should have read by now to your list, too…1. Why does the author say “Forget losing weight or saving money”?第 2 页 A. Because losing weight or saving money is a harder task than reading. B.Because reading much might cause you to pick up weight or spend more.C. Because losing weight or saving money has nothing to do with reading books.D. Because reading books is much more important than losing weight or saving money.2. Which has the closest meaning to the underlined word “shortcut”in the 2nd paragraph?A. A time-saving way to read books.B. A lazy person's way to read books.C. A quick way to know about endings of books.D. A wise way to deal with too many books to read.3. What or who has reduced the number of wars throughout history?A. The Paris Peace Pact.B. The Internationalists.C. Hathaway and Shapiro.D. A wide vision of the international scene.4. What may be written in the next or last paragraph of the passage?A. More advice on reading books.B. The main contents of the 20 books recommended.C. The names of the 20 books recommended.D. The brief introduction of the 20 books recommended.CChinese researchers say they have come up with a simple way to find out a person's biological age —how much the body has aged physically –through a urine (尿) test.Their findings will help researchers conduct numbers of ageing studies and even predict a person's risk of age-related diseases, according to a paper published in the journal Frontiers in Ageing Neuroscience.Another paper by researchers at the Beijing Hospital and the West China Hospital in Chengdu, Sichuan province, said on Tuesday that people aged at different rates due to changes in their geneticmake-up and their environment.Chronological age –which is based on one's birth date —was an inaccurate measure of biological age so a more accurate method was needed, the team said.Ageing is driven by the lifelong gradual accumulation of a broad variety of molecular (分子) faults in the body's cells. The team said they had identified a matter —8-oxoGsn —that indicated increases in oxidative (氧化性) damage in urine as people's bodies aged.Cai Jianping, a co-author at the Beijing Hospital, said: “As we age, we suffer increasing oxidative damage and so the levels of oxidative matters increase in our body.”The team tested the levels of 8-oxoGsn in urine samples from 1,228 Chinese people aged two to 90 and concluded the markerhelped accurately determine the stage of biological ageing in adults.They had previously found that 8-oxoGsn levels also increased with age in the urine of animals such as mice.The team has also developed a rapid analysis technique called ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography, which can process up to 10 urine samples an hour, according to the study.1. Scientifically speaking, by what does a doctor judge the stage of a person getting old?A. His condition.B. His biological age.C. His psychology.D. His chronological age.2. What are the outer factors the speed of one's ageing physically depend on?A. One's birth date.B. The increases in oxidative damage in urine.C. The changes in their genetic make-up and their environment.D. The accumulation of various molecular faults in the body's cells.3. Which can take the place of the underlined word “marker”in the sixth paragraph?A. 8-oxoGsn.B. Molecular faults.C. Oxidative damage.D. Stage of biological ageing in adults.4. What is the passage about?A. Why people are ageing.第 3 页 B. How to delay people's ageing physically.C. What determines the stage of people's ageing physically.D. A rapid method with which to judge how much people are aging physically.DIt is important to protect yourself from harmful rays. But if you think a high-factor sunscreen keeps you safe from harmful rays, you may be wrong. Research in this week's Nature shows that while factor 50 reduces the number of melanomas(黑瘤)and delays their occurrence, it can't prevent them. Melanomas are the most aggressive skin cancers. You have a higher risk if you have red or blond hair, fair skin, blue or green eyes, or sunburn easily, or if a close relative has had one. Melanomas are more common if you have periodic intense exposure to the sun. Other skin cancers are increasingly likely with long-term exposure.There is continuing debate as to how effective sunscreen is in reducing melanomas –the evidence is weaker than it is for preventing other types of skin cancer. A 2019 Australianstudy of 1,621 people found that people randomly selected to apply sunscreen daily had half the rate of melanomas of people who used cream as needed. A second study, comparing 1,167 people with melanomas to 1.101 who didn't have the cancer, found that using sunscreen routinely, alongside other protection such as hats, longsleeves or staying in the shade, did give some protection. This study said other forms of sun protection –no sunscreen –seemed most beneficial. The study relied on people remembering what they had done over each decade of their lives, so it's not entirely reliable. But it seems reasonable to think sunscreen gives people a false sense of security in the sun. Many people also don't use sunscreen properly applying insufficient amounts, failing to reapply after a couple of hours and staying in the sun too long. It is sunburn that is most worrying –recent research shows five episodes of sunburn in the teenage years increases the risk of all skin cancers.The good news is that a combination of sunscreen and covering up can reduce melanoma rates, as shown by Australian figures from their slip-slop-slap campaign. So if there is a heat wave this summer, it would be best for us, too, to slip on a shirt, use sunscreen and slap on a hat.1. What's people's common expectation of high-factor sunscreen?A. It will protect them from sunburn.B. It will keep their skin smooth ad fair.C. It will work for people of any skin color.D. It will delay the occurrence of skin cancer. 2. What can we learn from the second paragraph?A. Sunscreen can prevent all kinds of skin cancers.B. The studies are based on direct observation of the subjects.C. The studies may help people select the most effective sunscreen.D. Daily application of sunscreen helps reduce the incidence of melanomas.3. What does the author suggest in order to reduce melanoma rates?A. Staying in the shade whenever possible.B. Using covering up instead of sunscreen.C. Using both covering up and sunscreen.D. Applying the right amount of sunscreen.4. What is the best title for the text?A. No Way to Stop Harmful Rays!B. Does Sunscreen Prevent Skin Cancer?C. Did You Use Sunscreen In the Right Way?D. Skin Cancer-The Biggest Threat to Human Beings!E【2019届山西太原一模】How to Be Productive in a Challenging EnvironmentA lot of organizations deal with challenges like maintaining productivity and quality of work.36 In this article, we'll share with you a few essential tips on staying focused at work. Prepare a to-do list.Half the battle is won once you prioritize (优先处理) your tasks. Make a list of what needs to be done. Plan your day through these lists and set realistic deadlines to accomplish each one of them. 37Schedule your work.Don't overstretch yourself with your work. 38 To avoid burnouts, take a walkto renew your brain, allowing it to concentrate better. Though breaks arc essential for a healthy workday, you must learn to take them with a pinch of salt. Frequent breaks can be addictive and can affect your work.39Nowadays, being online on various social media platforms is a trend. Several notifications (通知)第 4 页pop up every now and then, commanding your attention. If you are constantlyattending to such notifications, how are you supposed to do meaningful work? While working on an important project, put your phone on silent or switch it off. If you really want to stay updated with your social media accounts, you can set specialized time slots to check your phone.Cut outside noise.Until you do away with noise, you won't be able to focus. Limiting auditory distractions is crucial in increasing attention span. You can use noise-canceling headphones for that. 40In case that doesn't solve the problem, choose remote work for a day or two to regain your lost focus.Keep on practicing these positive habits and you'll surely see a noticeable improvement in your productivity level at work.A. Avoid distractions.B. Take regular exercise.C. Rather, split your work into parts and sub-parts.D. Changing your working environment may have unexpected benefits.E. When you start prioritizing, you won't just be focused but efficient, too.F. If you still can't concentrate, move to a quieter place, such as a conference room.G. Managers are pressed to motivate their team members while boosting their productivity.二、完形填空。

AWe all are familiar with Android and iOS platforms as both are popular but are quite different when it comes to functionalities.If you are making a big move from Android to iPhone, then the first thing that counters your mind is how to get your data on the iPhone.Note: You need to turn on Wi-Fi on your Android & iPhone and connect them with the same network.So, let' s get started and learn how to transfer data from Android to iPhone.Note: Please keep in mind that the steps might vary from device to device.Install(安装) the "Move to iOS" App on your Android device from the Google play store.

Follow the on-screen instructions to set up your iPhone.The transfer might take a bit longer depending upon the size of the content.On your iPhone screen, you will see a screen saying," Continue setting up iPhone".You can continue setting up your Apple ID on your new iPhone. Once done, you will find all your data such as contacts, messages, bookmarks, pictures etc. on it.That' s it, now you can dump your old Android phone and enjoy using your iPhone.21. Before the transfer,what are you supposed to do first?A. Be familiar with Android and iOS platforms.B. Check your data on the iPhone and back it up.C. Remember the steps might vary from device to device.D. Tum on Wi-Fi and connect them with the same network.22. What do we know about the "Move to iOS" App?A.

ABI was disheartened recently when I turned on the news to hear a story about a family who is petitioning(请愿) the Hampton School Board to receive out-of-district compensation to place their daughter in an out-of-district school due to racial bullying. I was disheartened because I know that even if this family wins their petition, the root of the problem will still continue.While there are many contributing factors to the rapid increase of the bullying, I believe that the root of this problem lies within the restrictions of schools, or rather the teachers and administrators who allow bullying to happen while feeding the line "We have a no-tolerance policy" to students and parents.This family can move their daughter to a new school where she will feel safe to learn and grow, but they will leave behind the problem of the educators at this school who let the racial bullying happen.My son went to a private school in Concord. He was bullied on the play yard. The administration gave us the "No tolerance" line, but did nothing to stop the bullying or change the climate of the school.We pulled our son out of this school and placed him in another school. This school truly understands how to guide students' acceptance of differences and embrace teachable moments sothat bullying is a non-issue.I truly hope that this family gets the out-of-district placement for their daughter. However,I am doubtful that the school district will address the root of the problem.24. The author felt disheartened probably because _____.A. the family' s petition was turned downB. the daughter of the family was bulliedC. the root of the problem won't be addressedD. the family will receive the compensation if they win25. According to the author, what is the main reason for the bullying increase?A. This problem lies beyond schools.B. The climate of schools is changeable.C.

He was treated in a very unpleasant way in a school.C. He went to a private school in Concord and studied with the girl.D. He attended a school which knew nothing about the "No tolerance" line.【答案】24. C 25. C 26. A 27. BCSupermarket shoppers who buy lots of foods on "two for one" deals are far more likely to be obese(肥胖的) ,a major study suggests.Cancer Research UK found that those with highest consumption of discounted foods were at 50 percent greater risk of obesity, compared with those with low take-up of such deals.The study of more than 16,000 households found almost one in three food and drink items in UK supermarket baskets were bought on promotion. And the discounts were far more likely to be applied to unhealthy foods, with almost half of all chocolate, crisps, popcorn, and savoury snacks bought on promotion.Shoppers whose baskets contained between 40 and 80 percent of goods on special offer were 54 percent more likely to be obese than those with a maximum 20 percent of foods on such deals. Those with highest take-up of the deals bought 30 percent less fruit, and nearly 25 percent fewer vegetables than those shunning the deals.The study follows a government consultation on proposals to ban "buy one, get one free" deals on unhealthy foods and supermarket "guilt lanes" as part of its childhood obesity strategy.One in five children are overweight or obese when they start primary school, rising to around one in three when they leave.Research has found that obesity increases the risk of 13 different types of cancer including bowel and breast disease.Alison Cox, director of cancer prevention at Cancer Research UK, said: " The government' s proposed 9 p. m. ban on junk food ads is a step forward in fighting childhood obesity. Now we want to see restrictions on price promotions for unhealthy food and drink items, as well as those strategically placed at checkouts. This will help families to make healthier choices."There isn't one magic fix for the problem, but getting rid of these encouragements to buy unhealthy food is key to changing it. "28. Who are far more likely to be obese?A. Those who buy food and drink items in UK supermarkets.B. People who prefer "buy one, get one free" deals on unhealthy foods.C. Shoppers whose baskets contained a maximum 20 percent of discounted foods.D. Households with low take-up of chocolate, crisps, popcorn, and savoury snacks.29. What does the underlined word " shunning" in Paragraph 4 mean?A. Closing.B. Accepting.C. Avoiding.D. Negotiating.30. To fight childhood obesity, the government has .A. suggested a ban on unhealthy food ads at a specific period of the dayB. restricted price promotions for unhealthy food and drink itemsC. officially prevented junk food from sale after 9 p. m.D. helped families to make healthier choices31. What might be a solution to the problem?A. Changing people' s attitudes towards healthy diet.B. Finding out the reason why people like junk food.C. Removing what makes people buy unhealthy food.D. Teaching consumers the right way of picking food.【答案】28. B 29. C 30. A 31. CDThe movie The Wizard of Oz has thousands of fans around the world. But back in 1939 when the film opened, audiences were not particularly fond of it. It was only a modest box office success. It was nominated for Best Picture at that year's Academy Awards, but so were nine other great films. It lost out to Gone with the Wind.The Wizard of Oz really gained an audience when it was broadcast regularly on TV. That began in the 1950s. The film' s plot follows young Dorothy who is knocked unconscious during a tornado. She dreams about following a Yellow Brick Road through the Land of Oz to the Emerald City. She wants to meet the Wizard of Oz who lives there. He's the only one who can help her to return home to Kansas. Along the way she makes friends with the Scarecrow, the Tin Man and the Cowardly Lion. They help her and her dog Toto overcome the Wicked Witch of the West !According to the Library of Congress, The Wizard of Oz is the most watched movie of all time. What is it about the film that appeals to people? It includes themes that people can relate to. Through most of the movie Dorothy is trying to get home to Kansas. When she finally gets to go, she speaks the words," there' s no place like home. " People identify with that thought. Home is the welcoming place where they feel secure.At the beginning of the film, Dorothy sings of a place " over the rainbow. " There, the dreams that you dare to dream really do come true. So while home is a great place, dreaming about something different is all right too.The Wizard of Oz also deals with courage. Dorothy learns that true courage isn't being unafraid. It' s facing danger when you are afraid. Her friends face plenty of danger to rescue her.As one of the true classics of American literature, The Wizard of Oz has stirred the imagination of young and old alike for over four generations. Celebrate the 80th year of this fabulous film by watching it again.32. According to the passage, what can we know about The Wizard of Oz?A. It was forbidden to be broadcast on TV.B.

But our response was often me with aneven more confused look.As the afternoon went on, some other friends that came byunderstood our goal of the spontaneous event and started helping out with someof the duties. Firstone friend then two, and by the time we had cleaned the entire lot,we had an entire carwashing crew with independent individually assigned tasks and duties.I wasn’t cleaning cars to be able to afford a new phone.I was cleaning carssimply because I wanted to offer the car owners kindness.There was noequipment to weigh our value created. We couldn’t measure our success indollars earned over the time spent washing cars when we could have been earningtwice as much at work.I now realize, first hand, that there is a special energy createdwhen you choose to think bigger than yourself and act in service of others andmaybe, likeme, you’11find it’s actually the greatest gift you’ you’ll ever get.(1)What attitude did passers-by show towards the author’s behavior?A .

Thepresence of water raises the chances of finding life on the red planet.The discovery isbased on observations by a European spacecraft. It has excited experts.Water is necessaryfor life, andscientists have long hoped to prove that it is present on Mars.Cassie Stuurman is a geophysicist at the University of Texas.In 2016,she found evidence ofa huge ice depositonMars. “Ifthese researchers are right, this is the first time we’ve foundevidence of a large water body onMars. ”Stuurman said. Researchers are not yet sure how deepthe area of water is. So, they cannot say whether it is anunderground pool, or just an area of soft and wet soil.In order to find the water, Italian researchers examined radarsignals. Thesignals were collected over three years by the European Space Agency’s MarsExpress spacecraft. The results suggest that a 20-kilometer-wide water body liesbelow ice that is 1.5 kilometers thick. They believe the area is close to theplanet’s southern pole.Mars is very cold, but salt in the water may have kept itfrom freezing. Itis the same as when you put salt on a road to prevent ice from forming.The water would beextremely cold, rightat the point where it’s about to freeze. And it would be salty.Such conditions arenot ideal for life to form. But, she said there are bacteria on theearth that have been able to survive in similar conditions.Mars has been a popular planet for exploration,with some groupsplacing instruments on its surface and others examining it from space.In May,NASA launched anotherspacecraft, theInSight Mars lander which will dig deep into the data under the surface afterit reaches a flat area of the planet in November.(1)Where do the Italian researchers believe the water body on Mars is?A .

They inserted newer and supposedly moreuseful words describing the digital fields that young people in habittoday.Thus they say go odbye to “acorn”,but say hello to “attachment”.“Beech” and “bluebell”come out of the dictionary. While “blog” and “broadband” come intoit. Andthey say farewell to “catkin” and “cowslip” because here come “celebrity” and “chatroom”.It’s possible, of cour se, that those Oxford editors had a goodreason for their vocabular cleansing. Perhaps they had read the CambridgeUniversity study revealing that most young children can identify Pokémonspecies far more easily than they canname real-life sparrows.But is this simply another fight in the language war,an ongoing battle betweenpeople? Some people argue that a dictionary should model howlanguage worksbest, whilesome people insist that it should capture how language works now.In Britain,some citizens feltjustified in fighting back against the decision of the Oxford editors.The protest of thethinning of the word herd almost immediately attracted more than200,000 signatures.Susie Dent, author of Modern Tribes:The Secret Languages of Britain,is doing everything in her power to guarantee “the old markers of time”. “Fortnight”is amongher cherished favorites.Thanks to them, I can now show off my knowledge that a “snollygoster”is a “shrewd person, especially a politician”.(1)Which of the following is closest in meaning to the underlined word “inhabit” in paragraph 1?A . Quit.B . Detect.C . Occupy.D . Purchase.(2)Why does the author list so many words in paragraph 2?A . To show people need to know the basic vocabulary.B . To show some of the words are replaced by other words.C . To explain the words are of great value in childhood.D . To show children have the awareness of reciting words.(3)What do we know about the editors of the Oxford Junior English Dictionary?A . They often ask for the public’s advice.B . They often instruct young people to use words correctly.C . They abandoned some infrequently used words in it.D . They have convinced people of the importance of all words.(4)What is the best title for the text?A . Pay Attention to English WordsB . Are Old English Words Worth Fighting for?C .

This would mean that she always felt that she was protected and would always have money if she really needed it.When I was married in 1970 my husband who had heard this story, obtained a 1937 crown coin for me and I have always kept it in my wallet, and I have always had enough for my needs.A friend recently fell on hard times, partly through external (外部的)circumstances and partly through poor planning. Friends and I have loaned her money, paid her bills, given her food, and even tried to teach her budget techniques, but none of them has been a solution. She has just slipped deeper and deeper into financial trouble and depression.Last week she looked pale and unwell, very depressed and hopeless, very sad for a friend to see and I then thought about how the crown coin, a physical reminder of another’s care and love had protected me, so I went to the bank for a $ 100 dollar-bill.I told my friend the story and asked her to keep the $ 100 in the back of her wallet. It turned out that she didn’t have a wallet, so she put the money in a little pencil case where she kept her coins. She immediately felt better—“I feel rich, and thank you for being a good friend,” she said, and we were both a bit teary.I went home and remembered a little wallet I had that I’d never used, and thought, “I’ll give that to my friend.”I opened it, and inside, found $ 100.25. What did the 1937 crown coin from the author’s father mean to her mother?A. His concern for her.B. His pity and protection for her.C. His care and love for her.D. His pride and respect for her.26. Where did the author’s fr iend keep the $ 100 dollar-bill?A. In the back of her wallet.B. In a little pencil case.C. In the pocket of her raincoat.D. In the layer of her suitcase.27. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A. The author became rich all of a sudden.B. Th e author’s friend would receive a wallet as a gift.C. The author’s friend was not touched by her story.D. The author felt uncomfortable when receiving the bill.28. What can be the best title for the text?A. A crown coinB. The help to a friendC. A hard lifeD. A gift from my fatherCIn China, chain restaurants —especially the big multinational ones —are cool. Going to Starbucks, for example, is a status symbol. It not only says, “I’m rich enough to buy this overpriced coffee,” but also, “I’m cosmopolitan (见多识广的)enough to be part of globalization.”Where I come from in the UK,however,chains are neither fashionable nor gourmet(美食的). Chains are where you go on New Year’s Day when nowhere else is open,or when you are 5 years old and your parents can’t stand hearing “I’m huuungry!” any longer. In my own case (with regards to McDonald’s), a chain is where you are taken on your first “date”. Even at the age of 13, I knew to give the guy the “let’s just be friends” phone call the next day.In the UK, independent cafes and restaurants are making a comeback on the fashion scene. Nowadays, a Londoner who says “let’s meet for a coffee at Monmouth” (an independent café) is much cooler than one who says “let’s go to Starbucks”. Even if Monmouth’s coffee is a littl e more expensive, there’s a satisfaction in knowing your pounds aren’t going straight to the big corporations.Of course, there are chain stores all over the UK; you can’t go five minutes without spotting a Costa Coffee. But numbers do not add up to good taste.I do, however, have a confession (坦白). After moving to China I had moments when all the rice and Kung Pao Chicken became too much. I, too, have retreated to McDonald’s.29. Many Chinese people like to go to multinational chain restaurants because ______.A. the restaurants give customers a taste of foreign cultureB. the restaurants offer different food and drinks from other restaurantsC. they believe that eating there will show their wealth and social statusD. these restaurants are perfect places for a romantic date30. Which of the following statements is TRUE?A. The author has grown tired of Chinese food.B. Branches of Monmouth’s cafe can be found all over the UK.C. Most independent stores are closed on New Year’s Day in the UK.D. It is cool in the UK to take your first date to a chain restaurant.31. We can infer from the article that ______.A. the author doesn’t like food from Pizza HutB. the author doesn’t like to follow fashion trendsC. many Britons think that numbers mean poor qualityD. many Britons don’t like big corporationsDDarwin noted that some human emotional expressions might have started as part of a physiological function: for example, exposing the teeth to bite food. The function, however, took on meaning and became a form of communication which signals anger.The same may be true for the animals. Baby monkeys cry for attention. They also cry to signal to an adult that they want to be carried.“Chimpanzees do make upset voice when they are being weaned (断奶) by their mothers or have lost their mothers or another individual,” says Anne Pusey, a professor at the University of Minnesota. “They whimper (呜咽) and cry and scream. When we hear these calls, the emotion involved seems obvious. However, they do not weep in the sense of producing tears. I have seen an adolescent male whimpering when he lost sight of his older brother with whom he had been traveling.”Babies of many mammalian species, including rats, cry. Moreover, when a baby rat cries, often his mother brings the fallen pup back into the nest. This is probably a straightforward communication, as it is with humans. However, psychologists at the University of Iowa aren’t convinced.The Iowan researchers can cause the same crying sounds by producing large decreases and then increases in blood flow. The blood flow also goes down when baby rats get cold. Thus, they conclude baby rats cry in the same way that we sneeze. Of course the rat baby could be crying because he’s cold and wants his mother to know.“All young mammals make cries when separated from their mother,” says Jaak Panksepp, a psychologist at Bowling Green State University. “If you’re willing to call this crying, then certainly other animals show this emotional response.” he says, “Some of us take seriously that animals do have emotions.”32. According to the first paragraph, what kind of emotion does “exposing the teeth” express?A. Disappointment.B. Excitement.C. Anger.D. Happiness.33. Which is one probable reason why young chimpanzees might be crying?A. They meet their brother.B. They have nothing to eat.C. They are being breast-fed.D. They are parted from their mother.34. Under what circumstance will baby rats cry just like humans’ sneeze?A. Their blood flow is decreased.B. They feel cold and long for affection.C. Their blood flow is increased.D. Their mother brings them back home.35. Where is the passage most likely taken from?A. An animal journal.B. A physiology book.C. A health magazine.D. A cultural newspaper.第二节七选五(共5小题;每小题2分,共10分)Apologizing can be very difficult. It takes maturity to put aside your pride and own up to your faults. 36. , it’s easy to make mistakes.37. . For the other person to heal, address the expression and acknowledge your actions were out of line. Take a careful look at the part you played in the fault.

In the long run, not being genuine just creates more distrust instead of repairing the damage.Waiting too long to apologize can make a bad situation worse. Do it sooner rather than later. However, apologizing too quickly can also be problematic. Sometimes people need a minute to cool off, and if someone’s trying to hound(催促) them to give them an apology, it’s not going to work. If time has passed, you can still attempt to right a wrong. 39. .Saying “I’m sorry, but…”is one of the worst ways to say you’re sorry.

A【河南省开封市2019届高三第三次模拟】Eighteen years ago, Terry Grahl, was pregnant with her fourth child. “Money was very tight.” Terry recalls. So when her mom called to ask if she'd like to go shopping at the local fabric( 布料)store for the coming Christmas, she couldn't say no because she knew she badly needed some fabrics to make new clothes for her children. “1 remember walking around, gazing at all this beautiful fabric, wondering whether there is anything cheap that I could afford. And I could still get some money left to buy Christmas gifts for my family.”Well, Terry’s mom must have known what Terry was thinking. Smiling kindly, she whispered to Terry, “You pick any fabrics you like. It’s your Christmas gift from me.” Terry’s eyes were filled with tears as the cart began to overflow with many fabrics, but not because Terry was planning on making herself a pretty dress or a pair of curtains for the kitchen. Rather, Terry’s mom's kindness had inspired some holiday gift ideas in Terry, and it didn’t take long for Terry to fig ure out what she was going to do with all that fabric.“I was going to make my first quilt.” She explains. “Every night I would work on this queen-size quilt. With every stitch(一针), I thought about all that my mom had done for me over the course of my childhood, during which we were always battling homelessness, but Mom somehow managed to fill our lives with love and make everything okay.”On Christmas day, five days after her baby girl was born, Terry handed her mom a gift box. Inside was the quilt she had sewn, from the fabric her mother had given her as a gift.1. What do we know about Terry eighteen years ago?A. Terry made a living by making clothes.B. Terry had a bad relationship with her mom.C. Terry and her family lived a hard life at that time.D. Terry often went shopping at the local fabric store.2. Which of the following words best describes her mom?A. Strict.B. CriticalC. Faithful.D. Generous.3. What made Terry change her idea about Christmas gift?A. The value of the fabric.B. The responsibility for her family.C. The memory of her childhood.D. The endless love from her mother.4. What is the best title for the text?A. A Christmas DayB. The First QuiltC. Colorful FabricsD. Hard ChildhoodBForget losing weight or saving money—we suggest one simple task to add to your list of inspiring New Year’s decisions: read a book. Trust us, and your brain will thank you. Not only does reading increase the amount of daily pleasure in your life, but it could also delay dementia (痴呆) and even help you live longer.But still, picking the perf ect novel isn’t easy. Thankfully, Business Insider asked a Harvard professor to recommend the one book he thinks every student should read in 2019—and we suggest adding it to your list, too. (No time for all the books on your list? Here’s a shortcut: Read the endings to some of the world’s most famous books, instead.)Steven Pinker, Professor of Psychology at Harvard, recommends The Internationalists by legal scholars Hathaway and Shapiro. The book makes a surprising claim that the Kellogg-Briand Paris Peace Pact (条约) of 1928, which declared war illegal, has caused a steady drop in war throughout history.“But in their fascinating and evidence-rich book, they make a lifelike case,” Pinker said. “And like The Clash of Civilizations and The End of History, the book presents a sweeping vision (视野) of the international scene, making sense of many developments in the news and recent history.”Other professors at Harvard recommended classics like Anna Karenina by Tolstoy, as well as Just Mercy by Stevenson, The Theory of Moral Sentiments by Adam Smith, and Robot-Proof by Joseph Aoun.So, go ahead and give (at least) one of these books a read in 2019! And while you’re at it, you should add the following 20 books you really should have read by now to your list, too…1. Why does the author say “Forget losing weight or saving money”?A. Because losing weight or saving money is a harder task than reading.B. Because reading much might cause you to pick up weight or spend more.C. Because losing weight or saving money has nothing to do w ith reading books.D. Because reading books is much more important than losing weight or saving money.2. Which has the closest meaning to the underlined word “shortcut” in the 2nd paragraph?A. A time-saving way to read books.B. A l azy person’s way to read books.C. A quick way to know about endings of books.D. A wise way to deal with too many books to read.3. What or who has reduced the number of wars throughout history?A. The Paris Peace Pact.B. The Internationalists.C. Hathaway and Shapiro.D. A wide vision of the international scene.4. What may be written in the next or last paragraph of the passage?A. More advice on reading books.B. The main contents of the 20 books recommended.C. The names of the 20 books recommended.D. The brief introduction of the 20 books recommended.CChinese researchers say they have come up with a simple way to find out a person’s biological age —how much the body has aged physically – through a urine (尿) test.Their findings will help researchers conduct numbers of ageing studies and even predict a person’s risk of age-related diseases, according to a paper published in the journal Frontiers in Ageing Neuroscience.Another paper by researchers at the Beijing Hospital and the West China Hospital in Chengdu, Sichuan province, said on Tuesday that people aged at different rates due to changes in their genetic make-up and their environment.Chronological age –which is based on one’s birth date —was an inaccurate measure of biological age so a more accurate method was needed, the team said.Ageing is driven by the lifelong gradual accumulation of a broad variety of molecular (分子) faults in the body’s cells. The team said they had identified a matter —8-oxoGsn — that indicated increases in oxidative (氧化性) damage in urine as people’s bodies aged.Cai Jianping, a co-author at the Beijing Hospital, said: “As we age, we suffer increasing oxidative damage and so the levels of oxidative matters increase in our body.” The team tested the lev els of 8-oxoGsn in urine samples from 1,228 Chinese people aged two to 90 and concluded the marker helped accurately determine the stage of biological ageing in adults.They had previously found that 8-oxoGsn levels also increased with age in the urine of animals such as mice.The team has also developed a rapid analysis technique called ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography, which can process up to 10 urine samples an hour, according to the study.1. Scientifically speaking, by what does a doctor judge the stage of a person getting old?A. His condition.B. His biological age.C. His psychology.D. His chronological age.2. What are the outer factors the speed of one’s ageing physically depend on?A. One’s birth date.B. The increases in oxidative damage in urine.C. The changes in their genetic make-up and their environment.D. The accumulation of various molecular faults in the body’s cells.3. Which can take the place of the underlined word “marker” in the sixth paragraph?A. 8-oxoGsn.B. Molecular faults.C. Oxidative damage.D. Stage of biological ageing in adults.4. What is the passage about?A. Why people are ageing.B. How to delay people’s ageing physically.C. What determines the stage of people’s ageing physically.D. A rapid method with which to judge how much people are aging physically.DIt is important to protect yourself from harmful rays. But if you think a high-factor sunscreen keeps you safe from harmful rays, you may be wrong. Research in this week’s Nature shows that while factor 50 reduces the number of melanomas(黑瘤)and delays their occurrence, it can’t prevent them. Melanomas are the most aggressive skin cancers. You have a higher risk if you have red or blond hair, fair skin, blue or green eyes, or sunburn easily, or if a close relative has had one. Melanomas are more common if you have periodic intense exposure to the sun. Other skin cancers are increasingly likely with long-term exposure.There is continuing debate as to how effective sunscreen is in reducing melanomas – the evidence is weaker than it is for preventing other types of skin cancer. A 2019 Australian study of 1,621 people found that people randomly selected to apply sunscreen daily had half the rate of melanomas of people who used cream as needed. A second study, comparing 1,167 people with melanomas to 1.101 who didn’t have the cancer, found that using sunscreen routinely, alongside other protection such as hats, long sleeves or staying in the shade, did give some protection. This study said other forms of sun protection –no sunscreen – seemed most beneficial. The study relied on people remembering what they had done over each decade of their lives, so it’s not entirely reliable. But it seems reasonable to think sunscreen gives people a false sense of security in the sun.Many people also don’t use sunscreen properly applying insufficient amounts, failing to reapply after a couple of hours and staying in the sun too long. It is sunburn that is most worrying – recent research shows five episodes of sunburn in the teenage years increases the risk of all skin cancers.The good news is that a combination of sunscreen and covering up can reduce melanoma rates, as shown by Australian figures from their slip-slop-slap campaign. So if there is a heat wave this summer, it would be best for us, too, to slip on a shirt, use sunscreen and slap on a hat.1. What’s people’s common expectation of high-factor sunscreen?A. It will protect them from sunburn.B. It will keep their skin smooth ad fair.C. It will work for people of any skin color.D. It will delay the occurrence of skin cancer. 2. What can we learn from the second paragraph?A. Sunscreen can prevent all kinds of skin cancers.B. The studies are based on direct observation of the subjects.C. The studies may help people select the most effective sunscreen.D. Daily application of sunscreen helps reduce the incidence of melanomas.3. What does the author suggest in order to reduce melanoma rates?A. Staying in the shade whenever possible.B. Using covering up instead of sunscreen.C. Using both covering up and sunscreen.D. Applying the right amount of sunscreen.4. What is the best title for the text?A. No Way to Stop Harmful Rays!B. Does Sunscreen Prevent Skin Cancer?C. Did You Use Sunscreen In the Right Way?D. Skin Cancer-The Biggest Threat to Human Beings!E【2019届山西太原一模】How to Be Productive in a Challenging EnvironmentA lot of organizations deal with challenges like maintaining productivity and quality of work.36 In this article, we’ll share with you a few essential tips on staying focused at work.Prepare a to-do list.Half the battle is won once you prioritize (优先处理) your tasks. Make a list of what needs to be done. Plan your day through these lists and set realistic deadlines to accomplish each one of them. 37Schedule your work.Don’t overstretch yourself with your work.38 To avoid burnouts, take a walk to renew your brain, allowing it to concentrate better. Though breaks arc essential for a healthy workday, you must learn to take them with a pinch of salt. Frequent breaks can be addictive and can affect your work.39Nowadays, being online on various social media platforms is a trend. Several notifications (通知)pop up every now and then, commanding your attention. If you are constantly attending to such notifications, how are you supposed to do meaningful work? While working on an important project, put your phone on silent or switch it off. If you really want to stay updated with your social media accounts, you can set specialized time slots to check your phone.Cut outside noise.Until you do away with noise, you won’t be able to focus. Limiting auditory distractions is crucial in increasing attention span. You can use noise-canceling headphones for that. 40 In case that doesn’t solve the problem, choose remote work for a day or two to regain your lost focus.Keep on practicing these positive habits and you’ll surely see a noticeable improvement in your productivity level at work.A. Avoid distractions.B. Take regular exercise.C. Rather, split your work into parts and sub-parts.D. Changing your working environment may have unexpected benefits.E. When you start prioritizing, you won’t just be focused but efficient, too.F. If you still can’t concentrate, move to a quieter place, such as a conference room.G. Managers are pressed to motivate their team members while boosting their productivity.二、完形填空。
