AA new report says the number of foreign students at colleges and universities in the United States increased three percent last year. This has been the first obvious increase si nce 2001.American schools last fall had 583,000 foreign students. The record is 586,000. That was set in 2002 after many years of gains. But after that the numbers fell. The terrorist attacks on September 11th, 2001 led to more visa (签证) requirements. Now stronger efforts are being made to get more foreign students to study in the United States.China remained in second place in front of South Korea but behind India, which sent almost 84,000 students last fall. The number of Japanese fell sharply by nine percent, although it remained in fourth place.There were three percent drops from Indonesia and Kenya, the only African country in the top twenty last year. But there were obvious increases from Saudi Arabia, Nepal and Vietnam. The number of Saudi students more than doubled, rising to nearly eight thousand.For a sixth year, the University of Southern California in Los Angeles had the most foreign students. Columbia University in New York was second. Other schools in the top five were New York Univers ity, the University of Illinois and Purdue University.Unlike American students in other countries, who often choose history and language study, the leading area of study in the USA was business and management. Second was engineering.The new report also says more than 220,000 Americans studied in other countries. That was during the 2020 school year. It was a record number, and an increase of eight and a half percent from the year before. But only five percent of them stayed for a full year.1. After 2002, the number of foreign students in the USA fell mainly because ________.A. Americans were worried that foreign students might attack themB. few American universities welcomed s tudents from abroadC. their own countries could offer them a better educationD. it was harder for foreign students to get permission to study in the USA2. Which of the following Asian countries has the largest number of students studying in the USA?A. China.B. Japan.C. India.D. South Korea.3. Of the following subjects, which is the most attractive to foreign students in the USA?A. History.B. Business and management.C. Engineering.D. Language.4. We can learn from the passage that _______.A. Kenya is the only African country that has students in the USAB. now foreign students are encouraged to study in the USAC. the number of students studying in America always increasesD. the number of foreign students in the USA will keep increasing in the future5. In which section of a newspaper could you most probably read this passage?A. Culture.B. Science.C. Education.D.Business.BThese days we mostly hear news about animals being endangered (濒临灭绝的). So a conservation (保护) success story is certainly one to celebrate. Researchers have recently noted that Californian Blue Whales have been making a comeback!Blue whales are the largest animals ever to have lived on the earth. They have been on the list of endangered animals for a while now. Humans hunted blue whales more than 100 years ago, and the animals almost die out. It is only recently that some of their cousins are returning. It has been found that there are now about 2,200 Californian Blue Whales today — nearly 97% of the original (原先的) population, before humans started whaling.Blue whales can live up to about 80 to 90 years. They are also one of the loudest animals on the earth. They make noises that other whales can hear, up to 100 miles away. They spend winters in warm waters to give birth an d travel to the Arctic (北极的) seas during summer in search of food.Long ago, blue whales used to be plentiful in the oceans and numbered in the hundreds of thousands. Now, there are only 10,000 to 25,000 of them worldwide. In the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, people would hunt whales for their organs (器官). Japan and Russia were among the best-known whaling nations. They hunted whales for food, clothing and other valuable products. Over-hunting caused the whale population to become smaller.Conservation efforts of the last few years have certainly paid off. These include efforts to stop catches and increased monitoring of whales' living places. Saving blue whales cannot be a local effort; it will need everybody around the world to come together.6. Recently, Californian Blue Whales _____.A. are increasing in numberB. are becoming endangeredC. are being hunted by the localsD. are a lot thinner thanother whales7. Paragraph 4 is mainly about _____.A. the history of whalingB. the value of blue whalesC. the difficulties of hunting blue whalesD. the reason why blue whales became endangered8. Conservation work on whales in the past few years can best be describedas _____.A. ea syB. interestingC. successfulD. lateCOne day at The Dubai Mall, a workmate (同事) warned that a sandstorm (沙尘暴) was going on. I didn't know what a sandstorm looked like and I toldhim I wanted to go out just to see it for myself. I received a strange lookbecause he thought I was crazy to even want to see a sandstorm.I decided to go to the bus stop to ride a number 29 bus that would takeme home to Bur Dubai. Another workmate joined me as he was heading to thesame street as I was.We stepped off The Dubai Mall with our eyes half-closed because we wereafraid that the sand would harm our eyes. We also covered our faces in orderto protect ourselves from the sandstorm. I got into the bus and felt safefor the next half hour. It took almost an hour to reach Bur Dubai from TheDubai Mall, and after getting off at the Burjuman bus stop, I could see rubbishhere and there. I passed through several streets to reach the apartment building and I still couldn't bear to keep my eyes wide open. It was pretty dangerous knowing that there were cars on the road and it was already dark.I went inside a shop and bought some food for dinner. I could see sand on the floor of the shop. But I was happy that the storm stopped afterwards. When I got out of the shop, I could still see rubbish on the streets, but at least the wind wasn't strong anymore. This was the first time I'd ever been in a sandstorm in Dubai and I don't ever want to be in one again.9.

How does the author feel about his sandstorm experience?A. Calm.B. Excited.C. Frightened.D. Painful.DMake sure you don’t miss Australia’s largest and most exciting kite-flying festival this year, which promises to be a great day out for the whole family. The skies will come alive with hundreds of kites of all shapesand sizes from local and international kite makers and fliers.It’s not just the experts who can fly their kites —come down and fly your own. If you don’t have a kite, you can buy one from one of the stalls in the park, or better still, make one at one of our kite-making workshops. Then there’s the multicultural entertainment program in the Pavilion Courtyard Amphitheatre of great music, dance and performance. The headline act this year is Rastawookie. Their music is a fusion (结合) of many different styles from South America, the Caribbean and western countries. There will also be free music and dance workshops, so why not try your hand at one of these? For the children there will be additional rides, face painting, jugglers (变戏法者), stilt walkers, and clowns. After all these activities, you probably can’t wait to eat.

命题人:马巧丽满分:150分考试时间:120分钟使用班级:平行班第一部分阅读(1---20题每题2分共 40分)A“Global warming could make humans shorter,” warn scientists who claim to have found evidence that it caused the world's first horses to shrink(收缩) nearly 50 million years ago. In fact, a team from the universities of Florida and Nebraska says it has found a link between the Earth heating up and the size of mammals – horses, in this case.The scientists used fossils to follow the evolution of horses from their earliest appearance 56 million years ago. As temperature went up,their size went down, and vice versa(反之亦然);“ At one point they were as small as a house cat,” said Dr Jonathan Bloch, curator(博物馆长) of the Florida Museum of Natural History, which was quoted by the "Daily Mail" as saying.The scientists say that the current warming could have the same effect on mammals and could even make humans smaller."Horses started out small, about the size of a small dog . What's surprising is that after they first appeared, they then became even smaller and then dramatically increased in size, and that exactly corresponds to the global warming event, followed by cooling”"It had been known that mammals were small during that time and that it was warm, but we hadn't realized that temperature specifically was driving the evolution of body size," Dr Bloch said in the "Science" journal.【小题1】.How did scientists find out the horses’ earliest appearance millions of years ago?A.searching the data on the netB.sorting through the pictures of ancient timesing fossils to follow the evolutionD.analyzing the related images【小题2】. What can we infer form the passage?A.As temperatures went up, horses dramatically increased in sizeB.The temperature has no effect on mammals’ evolutionC.As temperatures wen t up, horses’ size went downD.In history, it used to be warm at early times , followed by a certain period ofsharply cooling down.【小题3】. Which is the most closest meaning to the underlined words most probably mean _______.A.react toB. be contradictory toC.be consistent withD. differ from【小题4】. What is the best title of the passage?A.Global warming is to disappearB.The temperature on earth is to decreaseC.Global warming makes human shorterD.Mammals are dying out.【答案】【小题1】C【小题2】D【小题3】C【小题4】C【解析】考点:考查新闻报道类阅读BLove is a telephone which always keeps silent when you are longing for a call, but rings when you are not ready for it. As a result, we often miss the sweetness from the other end.Love is a telephone which is seldom program-controlled or directly dialed. You cannot get an immediate answer by a mere "hello", let alone go deep into your lover's heart by one call. Usually it had to be relayed by an operator, and you have to be patient in waiting. Destiny(命运) is the operator of this phone, who is always irresponsible and fond of playing practical jokes to which she may make you a lifelong victim intentionally or unintentionally.Love is a telephone which is always busy, When you are ready to die for love, you only find, to your disappointment, the line is already occupied by someone else, and you are greeted only by a busy line. This is an eternal regret handed down from generation to generation and you are only one of those who languish for(因…受煎熬) followers.Love is telephone, but it is difficult to seize the center time for dialing, and you will let the opportunity slip if your call is either too early or too late.Love is a telephone which is not always associated with happiness. Honeyed words are transmitted by sound waves, but when the lovers are brought together, the phone serves no purpose that many lovers observe that marriage is the doom of love.Love is a telephone which, when you use it for the first time, makes you so nervous and excited that you either hold the receiver upside down or dial the wrong number. By the time you've calmed down, you will beat a loss to whom you should make the call.Love is a telephone which often has crossed lines. And this usually happens to you unexpectedly. Your time will either cross or be crossed. Both cases are referred to as "triangle". Fortunately, all such occurrences are transient(转瞬即逝的).【小题1】. What is the best title of the passage?A.Love is transientB. Love is permanentC.Love is a telephoneD.What’s love in life【小题2】. Which statement has the closest meaning to the underlined sentence?A."all shall be well,Jack shall have Jill。

河南省洛阳第一高级中学高一下学期第一次月考试题 英语 含答案

洛阳一高2013-2014学年第二学期第一次月考高一英语试卷命题人:刘亚丽文玉阁李晓晨满分:150分时间:120分钟第一部分:阅读理解(共20小题;每小题2 分,满分40分)AMy name is Cherry Carl, and I retired in June, 2003, after 35 years as a teacher and Language Arts Specialist in Santee, California. However, I continued my role as an instructor at the University of California, San Diego, in the Reading Specialist Certification Program until June, 2009.I wasn't ready to retire. T eaching is in my blood! (My mother always reminded me that when I was little, I dragged the neighborhood kids in to play school whether they wanted to or not!) I still have the strong desire to make a difference for teachers, parents, and students. I'm passionate about the joy of knowing how to read and write and want every child to have the experience of closing a book with a sigh, "Wow, that was a good book!" The only way they can do that is by having the necessary skills and strategies to become independent readers. This website has been created to provide resources and materials for classroom teachers, reading and resource specialists, speech therapists, parents and students in the area of language arts. Please feel free to download and print anything that catches your eye, but please make sure to leave my name on the poetry and worksheets!If you have specific needs or suggestions, please don't hesitate to ask. I'm always open to new ideas and requests. That's how the site continues to grow. You can email me at carl1404@.Thank you so much for your heartfelt messages and testimonials. You and your children are the reason that I maintain the site and I will continue to offer the materials with little or no fees.1. By saying “Teaching is in my blood” in Paragraph 2, the author means that ________.A. she loves teaching all her lifeB. she didn’t want to retire at allC. she is a specialist in teachingD. teaching is as important as her blood2. Which of the following statements is TRUE about Cherry Carl?A. She became a teacher at the age of 35.B. She was interested in teaching as a child.C. She is still a teacher in a middle school now.D. She gave up teaching totally 35 years ago.3. If you want some materials from Cherry Carl, ________.A. you must pay some money for themB. you can always get them free of chargeC. you should tell her before getting themD. you should mark her name on themBTo many students, high school is just a basic routine. You go to class in the morning, take a break for lunch and go home in the afternoon.This isn't quite that simple for pupils at Royal West Academy. As if classes and homework weren’t already enough, students are also required to complete a range of extracurricular activities, or ECAs.The range of ECAs being offered at the school is various, including everything from guitar and jewelry-making clubs, fund-raising marches, to student committees, swimming and tennis.“I love ECAs. I’m so happy we have them,” said grade 11 student Adrienne, who is a soccer playerand member of the graduation committee. “They motivate the students, and they’re a great bonding experience. I think that without them, not half as many students would be joining up for the soccer team.”Requiring students to complete ECAs is a sign of the times. That’s because young people are preparing for the future in ways that weren’t considered necessary before. This is an era when ECAs are seen as important. Whether it’s for leadership experience, sports, craft skills or volunteer these things are seen as rounding out the individual and improving their future.ECAs can also help students discover their likes and dislikes. But as the old song says, you can’t always get what you want, especially when so many students are all trying to sign up for the most popular activities.ECAs can cut into study and homework time if you’re not careful. You really have to get organized or you’ll fall apart.4. The students at Royal West Academy may do the following ECAs except ______.A. to play musical instrumentsB. to raise money for an organizationC. to attend sports eventsD. to have classes discussions5. From what Adirienne said, we know that _______.A. most of his classmates are interested in footballB. one can make many new friends in ECAsC. students get encouraged to join in ECAsD. half of his classmates are unwilling to join in ECAs.6. Why are ECAs important now?A. They prepare the students for their future.B. They can make students get what they want.C. they can help students find their strong points.D. They can reduce students’ learning time.7. From the last paragraph, we can infer that _______.A. ECAs can increase your burden of learningB. you may fall down when playing in ECAsC. too many ECAs may leave you in troubleD. you need to organize other students in ECAsCWho do you think was the most important woman of the past 100 years?Jane Addams (1860 - 1935)Addams helped the poor and worked for peace. She created shelters, education opportunities and services for people in need. In 1931, Addams became the first American woman to win the Nobel Peace Prize.Rachel Carson (1907 - 1964)Rachel Carson was born in the rural river town of Springdale, Pennsylvania in America. The popular 1962 book “Silent Spring”by Rachel Carson made people realize the dangers and the harmful effects of pollution on humans and on the world’s lakes and oceans.Angela Merkel (1954 - )In 2005, Germans chose Angela Merkel as their first woman head of the country. She had been a scientist in the past. As Germany’s leader, she has had an effect on the whole world.Sandra Day O’Connor (1930 - )When Sandra Day O’ Connor finished her class at Stanford Law School, in 1952, she could not find work because she was a woman. However, she became the first woman to join the U.S. Supreme Court (最高法院) in 1981 after years of hard work.Margaret Thatcher (1925 - )In 1979, Margaret Thatcher became Britain’s first woman Prime Minister (首相). She served until 1990, which made her the first British leader to serve three terms in a row. Because of her high standards and strong will, people called her Britain’s Iron Lady.Marie Curie (1867 - 1934)Polish-born scientist Marie Curie discovered that some types of metal give off energy called radiation. Her research led to new medical treatments and arms. She received the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1903 and in Chemistry in 1911.8. We can infer from the text that Rachel Carson worked to _____.A. help the poorB. spread geographic knowledgeC. protect the environmentD. protect the rights of women9. What do Angela Merkel and Margaret Thatcher have in common?A. Both of them were scientists before coming to power.B. Both of them are the first woman head of their country.C.

What would be the best title for the text?A. Great women.B. Famous scientists.C. Strong leaders.D. Ways to success for women.DThe color red often means danger --- and by paying attention, accidents can be prevented. At railroad crossings, flashing red fights warn cars to stay back. A red light at a traffic crossing tells cars to stop, so they don't run into other cars.In the future, the color red also may help prevent danger at construction sites. Thanks to new work by engineers, bridge supports --- or other kinds of materials --- could one day contain a color-changing material. It will turn red before a structure collapses(倒塌) or falls apart.The secret behind the color-changing material is a particular type of molecule(分子). Molecules come in all shapes and sizes, and make up everything you can see, touch or feel. How a molecule behaves depends on what kinds of atoms(原子) it contains, and how they're held together.To get a rough picture of one way atoms are held together in a molecule, imagine you and your friends standing in a large circle, holding hands. Each person represents one atom, your clasped hands represent the bond, and the entire circle represents a molecule.The molecule being used to turn the material red is called mechanophore(机械响应性聚合物). When one chemical bond in the mechanophore molecule breaks, the rest of the molecule turns red.There is a way to get rid of~ the red color: light. When a bright light is shone on the mechanophore, the broken bond is fixed and the red color disappears. This "self-healing" may be a problem for engineers who want to use the color-changer in big construction projects that will be outside, in the sunlight. And if bright light keeps the red color from appearing, then the mechanophore's warning system will be useless.Scientists still have a lot of work to do before the color-changing molecules can be used outside the lab. If mechanophore can be used in the real world, they are suggested to be employed in a new kind of paint.12. The first paragraph mainly tells us __________.A. the color red is widely used in our lifeB. how to prevent car accidentsC. the color is an important signal of warningD. how to use color red13. The color red will be used at construction sites to _________.A. tell different materials used in the buildingB. warn people that the building is dangerousC. make the building more beautifulD. tell people the building is under construction14. The example given in the fourth paragraph is to show _________.A. the way atoms are held together in a moleculeB. how a molecule behaves in an objectC. how to play an old gameD. how people get along with each other15. What can make the mechanophore’s warning system ineffective?A. PaintsB. WaterC. Poor building materialsD. The bright lightEFrom time to time, we all get a bit down. Maybe we are feeling bad because we’re not doing well with our goals. There are many reasons for feeling down, but I’m not able to discuss all of them. ___16___ Make a list. Sometimes we are sad simply because we are troubled by all the things we have to do. ___17___ Make a list of the most pressing things you have to do. Thus you’re getting things under control. You can see, right in front of you, what you need to do, and that can pick up your mood.___18___ You’ve made a list, and you still feel puzzled? Well, get started on the first thing you need to do. Once you get into action, you’ll feel better. And once you start doing something, you will feel much better than lying around feeling sorry for yourself.___19___ I like Brown Eyed Girl, the Kinks, the Ramones, or an upbeat Beatles tune. You might have your own brand of feel-good music. Whatever it is, let yourself move to the beat. It may just be what the doctor ordered.Talk about it. Get a best friend, family member or coworker you can talk to. ____20____ It can also help you work out the reasons you’re feeling down.A. Take action.B. Play some lively music.C. Get out of the house and do something.D. Getting things off your chest makes a big difference.E. Start simply by picking up a piece of paper and a pen.F. Do whatever you need to do to feel good about yourself.G.

The group became very popular after appearing on a television program. They started singing in 1965, and became popular soon.

Because his pany asked him to d o so.(C)Chil dren start out as natural scientists, eager to l ook into the worl d around them. Helping them enjoy science can be easy; there’s no need for a l ot of scientific terms or expensive lab equipment. You only have to share your children’s curiosity(好奇).Firstly, listen to their questions. I once visited a classroom of seven-year-ol ds to talk about science as a job. The children asked me “textbook questions” about teaching, salary(薪水) and whether I liked my job. When I finished answering, we sat facing one another in silence. Finally I said, “Now that we’re finished with your lists, d o you have questions of your own about science?” After a l ong pause, a boy raised his hand, “Have you ever seen a grasshopper(蚱蜢) eat? When I try eating l eaves like that, I get a stomachache. Why?” This began a set of questions that lasted nearly two hours.Secondly, give them time to think. Studies over the past 30 years have shown that, after asking a question, adults often wait only one second or l ess for an answer, no time for a child to think. When adults increase their “wait time” to three seconds or more, children give more logical(符合逻辑的), pl ete and creative answers.Thirdly, watch your language. Once you have a child involved in a science discussion, d on’t jump in with “That’s right” or “Very good”. These words work w ell when you encourage their good behavior(行为). But in talking about science, quick praise can mean that discussion is over. Instead, keep things going by saying “That’s interesting” or “I’d never thought of it that way before”, or ing up with more questions or id eas.Lastly, show and d on’t tell. Real-life impressions of nature are far more impressive than any l esson children can l earn from a book or a television program. Let children l ook at their fingertips through a magnifying glass(放大镜), and they’ll und erstand why you want them to wash before dinner. Rather than saying thatwater evaporates(蒸发), set a pot of water to boil and l et them watch the water l evel drop.66. According to the passage, children are natural scientists, and to raise their interest, the most important thing for adults to d o is _______.A. to l et them see the worl d aroundB. to share the children’s curiosityC. to explain difficult phrases about scienceD. to supply the children with lab equipment67. In the second paragraph, “your lists” coul d best be replaced by ______.A. any questionsB. any problemsC. questions from textbooksD. any number of questions68. According to the passage, children can answer questions in a more l ogical, pl ete and creative way if adults ________.A. ask them to answer quicklyB. wait for one or two seconds after a questionC. tell them to answer the next dayD. wait at least for three seconds after a question69. In which paragraph d oes the author tell us what to say to encourage children ina science discussion?A. The secondB. The thirdC. The fourthD. The fifth70. The author mentions all of the foll owing techniques(技巧) for adults to share with their children’s curiosity except that adults shoul d ________.A. tell their children stories instead of reciting (背诵) factsB. offer their children chances to see things for themselvesC. be patient enough when their chil dren answer questionsD. encourage their children to ask questions of their ownPart IV Writing(45 marks)Section A (10 marks)Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in the numbered blanks by using the information from the passage.Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer.Everybody gets stressed from time to time. Different peopl e feel stress in different ways. You can try taking these five steps the next time to overe stress: Step one: get support. When you need help, reach out to the peopl e who care about you. Talk to a trusted adult, such as a parent, or a coach. And d on't forget about your friends. They might be worried about the same test or have had similar problems.Step two: d on't freak out(崩溃)! Notice your feelings, and name them —for exampl e, "I am so angry!" And say or think about why you feel that way. Find a way to calm d own and get past the upset feelings and find a way to express them. Do breathing exercises, listen to music, or d o whatever helps you shift to a better mood.Step three: d on't take it out on yourself. Sometimes when kids are stressed and upset they take it out on themselves. You shoul d be kind to yourself and ask for the helping hand or pat on the back that you need — and d eserve — to get you through the tough situation you're facing.Step four: try to solve the problem. After you're calm and you have support from adults and friends, it's time to get d own to business. You need to figure out what the problem is. Even if you can't solve all of it, maybe you can begin by solving a piece of it.Step five: be positive --- most stress is temporary. It may not seem like it when you're in the mid dl e of a stressful situation, but stress d oes go away, often when you figure out the problem and start working on solving it.These five steps aren't magic, and you might have to d o some steps more than once, but they d o work.Section B(10 marks)Directions: Read the following passages. Answer the questions according to the information given in the passage.In the animal kingd om, weakness can bring about attack from other animals. This sometimes happens to humans, too. But I have found that my weakness brings out the kindness in peopl e. I see it every day when peopl e hol d d oors for me, pour cream into my coffee, or help me to put on my coat. And I have found that it makes them happy.From my wheel chair experience, I see the best in peopl e. Often, we try every way to avoid showing our weakness, which includes a l ot of pretending. But when we stop pretending we’re strong, peopl e around us will show their kindness.Last month, when I was driving home on a busy highway, I sud d enly felt sick and drove very sl owly. Peopl e behind me began to speed, horn(鸣喇叭) or even shout at me. At the moment I d ecid ed to d o something. I put on the car flashlight.No more angry shouts and no more horns! I knew when I put on my flashlights, I was saying to other drivers, “I have a problem here. I have already d one my best.”Several times, I saw drivers who wanted to pass. They coul d not get around me because of the stream of passing traffic. But instead of getting impatient and angry, they waited, knowing the drivers in front of them was in some way weak.Sometimes situations call fo r us to act strong and brave even when we d on’t feel that way. But those seld om happen. More often, it woul d be better if we d on’t pretend we feel strong when we actually feel weak.81. How d o people feel when they offer their help?(No more than 3 words)_____________________________________________________________________________________________ 82. What reactions(反应) did other drivers have when the author drove very sl owly?(No more than 5 words)_____________________________________________________________________________________________ 83. Why did other drivers behave differently when the author put on the car flashlights?(No more than 8 words)_____________________________________________________________________________________________ 84. What did the author advise us to d o at last?

She connected them in rows, and by the end she designed the item into a skirt and wore it.She said that the idea behind her unique clothing item came out of a desire to normalize rejection and take pride in overcoming it. "The whole process of revisiting those old letters and making that skirt sort of reminded me that you have to apply to a lot of things to succeed," she said. "A natural part of the process is to get rejected along the way."Caitlin's adviser, Julie Libarkin, a professor of earth and environmental science atMichiganStateUniversity, also encourages the acceptance of failure in her students. Libarkin believes it's important for students to get into habit of applying for things, and to get used to the feeling of rejection, so she encourages them to chase after any opportunity that comes their way. If a student doesn't get the grant or the spot in the academic journal, that's okay. They'll still have learned something in the process.As for Caitlin? Her rejections over the years have led to great things: Since her doctorate, she's won a scholarship to do further research on urban agriculture inGermany.Currently, she's a post-doctoral researcher at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. As for what the future holds? "I'm prepared to receive a few more rejection letters along the way," she joked heartily, "Maybe I'll make a longer skirt."4. What can we learn about Caitlin Kirby's rejection letters?A. She received 17 rejections in total.B. 29 of her rejections were from journals.C. The rejections were connected into a fan.D. She made some rejection letters into a skirt.5. What is Julie Libarkin's attitude towards Caitlin's action?A. Favorable.B. Ambiguous.C. Skeptical.D. Opposed.6. Which of the following words can best describe Catlin?A. Creative and considerate.B. Caring and determined.C. Optimistic and humorous.D. Generous and intelligent.7. Which of the following may Caitlin agree with?A. Hard work pays off.B. Education is the entrance to success.C. Self-respect earns more respect.D. One needs to normalize failures.CThe climate change is already eating into the output of the world's agricultural systems, with productivity much lower than it would have been if humans hadn't rapidly heated the planet, new research has found.Advances in technology, fertilizer (化肥)use and global trade have allowed food production to keep pace with an increasing global population since the 1960s. But rising temperatures in this time have acted as a handbrake (手刹) to farming productivity of crops, according to the new research, published in Nature Climate Change. Productivity has actuallyslumpedby 21% since 1961, compared to if the world hadn't been affected by global heating.With the global population set to rise to more than 9 billion by 205, the UN'S Food and Agriculture Organization has estimated that food production will have to increase by about 70%,with annual crop production increasing by almost 1 billion tons and meat production by more than200mtons a year by this point. Meanwhile, global temperatures are rising at a rate that scientists warn is extremely dangerous for human civilization.“The impact already is larger than I thought it would be,” said Ariel Ortiz-Bobea, an economist atCornellUniversitywho led the research. “It was a big surprise to me. The worry I have is that research and development in agriculture takes decades to translate into higher productivity. The projected temperature increase is so fast that I don't know if we are going to keep pace with that.”Weston Anderson, a researcher of food security (安全) and climate at Columbia University who didn't take part in the study, said the new research provides fresh insight into the importance of the impact upon agriculture.“The regions that this paper highlights as experiencing the largest reductions in agricultural productivity-CentralAmericaand theSahel- contain some of the least food secure countries in the world, which is a real concern,” he said.8. What does the underlined word “slumped” in paragraph 2 mean?A. Fallen.B. Gathered.C. Approached.D. Benefited.9. What is Ariel Ortiz-Bobea worried about?A. Fertilizer is used in food production.B. Population will rise to over 9 billion.C. Global temperatures are rising too fast.D. Agricultural research needs many years.10. What can we learn about Weston Anderson?A. He puts forward a different solution.B. He proposes carrying on with the research.C. He pays more attention to food insecure regions.D. He supports improving agricultural productivity.11. What is the best title for the text?A. The Impact of Growth in Farm ProductivityB. Productivity in Agriculture is GrowingC. Causes and Effects of Global HeatingD. Rapid Global Heating is Hurting Farm ProductivityDImaginary friends in childhood refer to the invisible beings that a child gives a personality to and plays with for over three months.Crabbycrab(蟹)appeared on a holiday in Norway by running out of my four-year-old son Fisher's ear after a night of tears from an earache. Like other childhood imaginary friends, Crabby should be a sign thatFisher's mind is growing and developing positively. Indeed, research shows that imaginary friends can help develop children's social skills.Research has shown that the positive effects of having imaginary friends as a child continue into adulthood. Adolescents who remember their imaginary playmates have been found to use more activecoping(应对)styles, such as seeking advice from loved ones rather than bottle things up inside. Even adolescents with behavioral problems who had imaginary friends as children have been found to have better coping skills through the teenage years.Scientists thinkthis could be because these teens have been able to adjust themselves to the social world with imagination rather than choose to be involved in relationships with more difficult classmates. It could also be because the imaginary friends help to reduce these adolescents,loneliness.These teens are also more likely to seek out social connections -they tend to turn to others for advice. Current research by Tori Watson is taking this evidence and looking at how adolescents who have imaginary friends as children deal withbullying(欺凌)at school. It is found that teens who remember their imaginary friends are better at dealing with bullying.While we know a lot about childhood imaginary friends such as Crabby Crab and the positive effects they can have, there is still a lot to learn about imaginary friends.12. What is Crabby crab?A. It is a crab Fisher caught inNorway.B. It is Fisher's imaginary friend.C. It is a toy Fisher like much.D. It is a cause of earache.13. Why do children with imaginary friends have better coping skills?A. Imaginary friends help improve their adjustment.B. Having imaginary friends makes them smarter.C. They have rich imagination.D. They are no longer alone.14. What will a child with imaginary friends probably do if he is bullied?A. Escape from the bully.B. Fight with the bully bravely.C. Keep silent about being bullied.D. Ask a parent or a teacher for help.15. What is the author's attitude towards the effect of imaginary friends?A. Concerned.B. Doubtful.C. Optimistic.D. Indifferent.第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

河南省洛阳市第一高级中学2020┄2021届高三下学期第一次高考综合模拟 英语试题

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)A.Below is a housing for students going to London.University accommodation (住所) officesMany university accommodation offices have their own list of registered landlords (房东). Others also provide information on accommodation agencies and other housing organizations. The advantage of using your university accommodation is that you can get support if you have a problem. The disadvantage is that they are unlikely to have enough registered landlords to house all their students.Property papers:Loot and RentingLoot is an important source (来源) of information about private housing for co-renters. The offers are from private landlords, agencies and individuals looking for other co-renters. They also have a website:.The advantage of using Loot is that there are some excellent bargains. The disadvantage is that there is no quality control over the offers.Renting is another useful paper. The offers in this paper are mainly from accommodation agencies. Their website is at .Accommodation agenciesThe majority of rented accommodation in London is probably advertised through accommodation agencies. The advantage of using accommodation agencies is that you will have access to a large number of accommodations. A good agent will listen to your requirements and can save you time in looking for the right accommodation. The disadvantageis that they will make a range of charges to potential renters.NoticeboardsAround the universities you will find a number of noticeboards where offers of accommodation will be posted. These will either be from landlords or from students. Some universities will also have online noticeboards where students can advertise to other students. Advertisements from students can be an excellent way to find accommodation. However, advertisements from landlords can be problematic.Word of mouthSome of the best housing in London is never advertised but is passed on from one group of students to another by word of mouth. It might be that you can find out about good offers from final year students. However, don’t suppose that just because you have found out about housing from a friend it is necessarily going to be better than that found through any other source.FamilyFaced with the very high rents charged in London, some students and their parents will consider buying as an alternative. In some cases this might be a good choice.21. What is the advantage of using Loot?A. It has more offers from accommodation agencies than Renting.B. It gives you personal information about other co-renters.C. Their website is designed mainly for students.D. there are some good bargains.22. A good agent can help you ________.A. know more peopleB. find cheap accommodationC. get the right accommodation quicklyD. get free information about most accommodations23. The information passed on by word of mouth is important because________.A. it is better than that found through any other sourceB. it helps you find some of the best housing never advertisedC. the final year students always offer better informationD. the landlords have little valuable informationB(命题人:张若男)Driving to a friend’s house on a recent evening, I was attracted by the sight of the full moon rising just above my friend’s roof-tops. I stopped to watch it for a few moments, thinking about what a pity it was that most citizens, myself included, usually miss sights like this because we spend most of our lives indoors.My friend had also seen it. He grew up living in a forest in Europe, and the moon meant a lot to him then. It had touched much of his life.I know the feeling. Last December I took my seven-year-old daughter to the mountainous jungle of northern India with some friends. We stayed in a forest rest-house with no electricity or running hot water. Our group had campfires outside every night, and indoors when it was too cold outside. The moon grew to its fullest during our trip. Between me and the high mountains lay three or four valleys. Not a light shone in them and not a sound could be heard. It was one of the quietest places I have ever known, a bottomless well of silence. And above mewas the full moon, which struck me deeply.Today our lives are filled with glass, metal, plastic and fiber-glass. We have televisions, cellphones, papers, electricity, heaters and ovens and air-conditioners, cars, computers.Struggling through traffic that evening at the end of a tiring day, most of which was spent in doors, I thought that before long I would like to live in a small cottage. There I will grow vegetables and read books and walk in the mountains, and perhaps write, but not in anger. I may be come an old man there, and wear the bottoms of my trousers rolled and measure out my life in coffee spoons. But I will be able to walk o utside on a cold silent night and touch the moon.24.The best title for the passage would be ________.A. The pleasures of modern lifeB. Touched by the moonC. A bottomless well of silenceD. Break away from modern life25.What impressed the writer most in the mountainous jungle of northern India?A. No modern equipment.B. Complete silence.C. The nice moonlight.D. The high mountains.26. Modern things (Paragraph 4) are mentioned mainly to ________.A. show that the writer likes city life very muchB. tell us that people greatly benefit from modern lifeC. explain that people have less chances to enjoy natureD. show that we can also enjoy nature at home through them27.The author wrote the passage to ________.A. express the feeling of returning to natureB. show the love for the moonlightC. advise modern people to learn to liveD. want to communicate longing for modern lifeCIt has often been suggested that the ocean, rather than space ,is the true final frontier. From the extremely high pressure that threatens human lives to unknown geography that can injure people and machines alike, various things make sending human explorers hazardous. The deepest section of the ocean is the Marianas Trench, which begins at 20,000 feet. It has points where the depth approaches seven miles and the pressure reaches eight tons per square inch. That’s why the Marianas Trench remains largely unexplored to this day.Even knowing about all of the difficulties, however, some scientists feel the draw of the ocean’s depths. The environment, unfriendly though it may be to man, is friendly to others, allowing for the development of quite a few creatures not found anywhere else on the planet. The first exploration of the Marianas Trench’s floor took place in 1960. Since then, the cost of sending people back has been seen as too great.The goal, then, has been to find a way to learn about this frontier without risking the lives of explorers. One way that scientists have discovered new information is through the use of sonar. As sonar technology — a sound-based method of determining surroundings —hasimproved, scientists have been able to get more accurate maps of the ocean’s floor.Another method of exploration that has become more common in recent years is to use machines that have no people working inside them. These include underwater cameras and robots. The latter have become increasingly common in recent years.Although most of the robots used so far have been attached to a larger device with people aboard, the day when the robots can move independently may not be far off. As technology is being advanced, it seems quite likely that automatic robots will become more competent ocean floor explorers than humans.28. The underlined word “hazardous” in Paragraph 1 probably mean “_______”A. simpleB. riskyC. necessaryD. possible29. According to the passage, what do we know about the Marianas Trench?A. It has an average depth of 20,000 feet.B. It has become easy to send humans into it.C. There are many unique animals living in it.D. Many successful explorations of it have been made.30. Which of the following is most widely used to learn about this frontier?A. Sonar technology.B. Manned exploration.C. Underwater cameras.D. Underwater robots.31. What is the author’s attitude toward robotic exploration of the Marianas Trench?A. Optimistic.B. Doubtful.C. Curious.D. Worried.D(命题人:方利红)When social media first gained attention, I heard many people say online connectionscouldn’t possibly be real friends. But now the majority of the people I know consider at least some of their online friends to be like extended family, which made me wonder--- does social media actually encourage people to connect “in real life”?One example of online life translating into real-life interaction happens on Mashable’s Social Media Day, when thousands of people attend in-person meet-ups to celebrate the power of online connections. Another example is location-based apps that help users connect face to face by allowing them to see who else has checked in at the same store, restaurant, or party--- or even who is living in a city they plan to visit. They might then decide to seek each other out “in real life”.A Pew Internet and American Life Project (PIALA)report found that people using social networking sites have more close relationships and receive more support than others. They are also more likely to reconnect with old friends and keep up with those they are already close to. Other research shows that social media may also deepen what could otherwise be passing relationships. “What I find most interesting is that I’ve co nsistently seen that students who start a course being more introverted and not speaking up during class discussions become more outgoing and participate more when encouraged to commun icate through social media with their professors and their classmates,” said Dr. Rey Junco.However, if social media does increase the possibilities of real-life interaction, it can also sometimes complicate it. When fans of social media meet face to face, their computers and mobile devices may actually make the meeting less productive. Instead of looking at each other, they may be glued to their screens!32. The examples mentioned in Paragraph 2 are mainly used to show .A. it is necessary to make friends in real lifeB. it is inspiring to make friends whenever possibleC. the positive effects of social media have on peopleD. the good effects of Social Media Day and location-based apps have on people33. According to the PIALP report, online connections .A. can help people promote original relationshipsB. can help people become independentC. should keep pace with the timesD. should get more support from others34. The underlined word “introverted” in Paragraph 4 probably means “”.A. trustworthy and loyalB. unsocial and quietC. patient and modestD. nervous and disorganized35. What can we learn from the last paragraph?A. A friend in need is a friend indeed.B. Actions speak louder than words.C. Easier said than done.D. Everything is a double-edged sword.第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)(命题人:张若男)Speed is an essential skill in the Internet age. We skim over articles and e-mails to try to grasp key words and the essential meaning of a certain text. Attacked with information fromour electronic devices, it would be impossible to cope if we read word by word, line by line. 36A recent story from The Wall Street Journal reported on a book club in Wellington, New Zealand, where members meet in a cafe and turn off their smart phones. They sink into cozy chairs and read in silence for an hour.Unlike traditional book clubs, the point of the slowing reading club isn’t exchanging ideas about a certain book. 37 According to the journal, the Wellington book club is just one example of a movement initiated by book lovers who miss the old-fashioned way of reading before the Internet and smart phones.Slow readers, such as The Atlantic’s Maura Kelly, say a regular reading habit sharpens the mind, improves concentration, reduces stress levels. 38Slow reading means a return to an uninterrupted pattern, in a quiet environment free of distractions. 39 “ You can squeeze in that half hour pretty easily if only dur ing your free moments—whenever you find yourself automatically firing up your laptop to check your favorite site, or scanning Twitter for something to pass the time— you pick up a meaning work of literature,” Kelly said. “40 Kindles make books like War and Peace less heavy, not less substantive(真实的), and also ensure you will never lose your place.”A.Reach for your e-reader, if you like.B.Traditional book clubs are disappearing.C.But some of these benefits have been backed up by science.D.But a new trend calls on people to enjoy reading slowly.E.Aim for 30 minutes a day, advises Kelly from The Atlantic.F.It is to get away from electronic devices and r ead in a quiet, relaxed environment.G. Both speed-reading and slow-reading are greatly needed in reading articles and e-mails.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)(命题人:李珍)However objective we believe ourselves to be, most of us do not judge a product only on the basis of its advantages, 41 its quality, value or style before making a decision. 42 , we are easily influenced by the people around us.There is nothing 43 with this.

But one family has survived four generations and hopes to continue long into the future. The year was 1933 when Ed VanderWal's father first stepped onto the farm. Now 80 years later, Ed carries the passion(热情) his father gave him for farming every daywhile working the fields on the family farm in Volga.“Well, I was in the first grade when my dad moved here to this farm and I grew up on the farm. And that's what I was interested in doing more,” Ed said. But that love of working the land didn't stop with Ed. He's passed it down to his six sons. Some of them run farms of their own now, but two of them, Scott and David, still work side by side with their dad every day.Some people might worry that working sun up to sun down with family seven days a week would lead to a few family spats(争吵). But for the VanderWals, the constant time together works just fine.“When families work together on a farm, it's a challenge at times getting along. Everyone has to pull their weight and do their share. And that, of course, transfers from one generation to the next,” Scott said.And while they all get along like any family, with good days and bad, it's tradition that keeps each generation teaching the next.“But we taught them to work with animals at a young age, like most farmers do. So it's nice to be able to pass that tradition onto the next generation,” Scott said.The youngest generation of the VanderWals, Ed's three grandsons and a granddaughter, all started learning farming techniques at a young age.4. Why did Ed VanderWal devote himself to the farm?A. Because he grew up on the farm.B. Because he was affected by his father.C Because he could do nothing but work on the farm.D. Because he wanted to set a good example for his sons.5. What can we know from Paragraph 2?A. Managing a farm is a real challenge.B. Ed has divided his farms into six parts.C. Ed taught his sons how to work on farms.D. Scott and David own their own farms now.6. What can be inferred from the passage?A. The VariderWals have strict family rules.B. Ed's tradition has great effect on the local.C. Ed's grandchildren will drop out of school.D. Ed's farms have no lack of successors (继承者).7. What's the best title of the passage?A. A Faming Family.B. A Successful Farmer.C. The Agricultural 'Tradition.D. The Agricultural Generation.CIn the northern part ofAustin there once lived an honest family by the name of Smothers. The family had John Smothers, his wife and their five-year-old daughter.One night after supper the little girl was ill with a serious stomachache, and John Smothers hurried downtown to get some medicine. He never came back. The mother was very sad over her husband's disappearance, and it was nearly three months before she married again, and moved to San Antonio. The little girl recovered and in time grew up to womanhood. After a few years had rolled around, the little girl also married in time, and she also had a little girl of five years. She still lived in the same house where theydweltwhen her father had left and never returned.By an unbelievable coincidence her little girl was taken with the same stomachache on the same night of the disappearance of John Smothers, who would now have been her grandfather if he had been alive. “I will godowntown and get some medicine for her,” said John Smith(for it was he whom she had married). “No, no, dear John,” cried his wife. “You, too, might disappear forever, and then forget to come back.” So John Smith did not go, and together they sat by the bedside of little Pansy. After a little while Pansy seemed to grow worse, and John Smith again wanted to go for medicine, but his wife would not let him.Just then, the door suddenly opened and an old man with long white hair entered the room. “Hello, here is grandpa,” said Pansy. She had recognized him before any of the others. The old man drew a bottle of medicine from his pocket and gave Pansy a spoonful. She got well immediately. “I was a little late,” said John Smothers, “as I waited for a street car.”8. What happened after John Smothers disappeared?A. His daughter took some medicine.B. His wife left for San Antonio.C. Pansy immediately had a stomachache.D. John Smith went for medicine.9. What does the underlined word “dwelt” in paragraph 2 probably mean?A. Lived.B. Left.C. Returned.D. Married.10. What is the relationship between John Smothersand Pansy?A. Husband and wife.B. Father and daughter.C. Grandfather and granddaughter.D. Father and son.11. How could Pansy's mother feel when she saw John Smothers?A. Worried.B. Sad.C. Uninterested.D. Surprised.DIn recent years,people have been focusing on the quality of food that children are fed in schools. Former First Lady Michelle Obama worked hard to make school lunches healthier, resulting in new menus that featured less fat and salt, more fruits and vegetables.But high-quality nutrients count for little when there is no time to eat them. Amy Ettinger reports, "There is no national standard on how much time kids get to eat that meal. " And with schools being occupied with test scores, teachers are using every available minute for lesson time, which often leaves kids without enough eating time.This is a problem because the length of the school lunch period is a key factor (因素) in how much nutrition children actually gel. Research has found that having less than 20 minutes for lunch results in children consuming much less of their lunch than those with more than 20 minutes.This is really terrible. For many low-income kids, that cafeteria lunch can represent half their daily energyintake. There's also another terrible message that it's acceptable to wolf down food as fast as possible before rushing off to your next class. Cafeteria time should be a chance to interact with friends, to learn important social skills, to observe and share varieties of food. It should be a break in day, a chance to relax before heading into the afternoon.As Ettinger explains,some parents are hoping the National Parent Teacher Association will address this issue. This, in turn, would help parents push their kids' schools for better lunch time standards. Meanwhile, if you have a kid in this situation, you can help by packing a healthy lunch to spare them the cafeteria lineup. Make the foods easy to eat, provide non-messy snacks that can be eaten in class, put great effort into serving a hearty breakfast, and sit down as a family for dinner whenever possible.12. What did Michelle Obama make efforts to improve?A. The quality of school lunches.B. The performance of school kids.C. The school lunch time kids have.D. The eating habits of school kids.13. What happens to children in American schools?A. They are occupied with many tests.B. They fail to get along with each other.C. They consume more meat than before.D.

This list should give you some ideas on how to get more from your coke than usual.. Coca Cola is an excellent rust buster (除锈剂). If you have a bunch of small rusty objects, put them in coke overnight and give them a goodscrubin the morning. Coke helps to break down the rust, making cleaning much easier. Be sure to throw out the used coke when you are done with it or you might be taking a trip to the doctor.. Like the previous item, the citric acid (柠檬酸) in coke makes for an excellent window cleaner. This is especially useful for car windows. Pour a can of coke over the window and rub the window, then wipe it off with a wet cloth to remove any sugary matter from the sugar in the drink. As coke is fullof sugar, you should clean the sticky matter off the window glasses, or it will be not a cleaner but a dirt.. For those of you who live in areas where skunk (臭鼬) smells can be an issue from time to time, one can of coke added to water with detergent (清洁剂) really helps to break the smell down. If you have been sprayed, stand in the shower and cover yourself from head to toe with coke — wait for a few minutes, then wash yourself with a shower. Coke is an excellent hair treatment so you get two tips for the price of one with this item!. Pots can sometimes get black on the bottom. The black is almost impossible to remove; this is caused by over-cooking. To remove the black and renew your pot, pour in a can of coke (or as much as you need to cover the blackened area by an inch) and put it on the stove on a low heat. After an hour or so, wash the pot as normal.8. What does the underlined word “scrub”in Paragraph 2 probably mean?A. Start.B. Cleaning.C. Shake.D. Example.9.

A practical guide.DWe are in lack of enough sleep, according to Arianna Huffington, the co-founder and editor-in-chief of The Huffington Post. And thishas great consequences on our health, our job performance, our relationships and our happiness. What is needed, she ly declares, is nothing short of a sleep revolution. Only by renewing our relationship with sleep can we take back control of our lives.In her bestseller Thrive, Arianna wrote about our need to redefine success through wellbeing, wisdom, wonder, and giving. Her discussion of the importance of sleep as a gateway to this more fulfilling way of livingstruck such a powerful chord (弦) that she realized the mystery and transformative power of sleep called for a fuller investigation (调查).The result is a scientifically sweeping and personal exploration of sleep from all angles, from the history of sleep, to the role of dreams in our lives, to the consequences of sleep deprivation (剥夺), and the new golden age of sleep science that is showing the vital role sleep plays in our every waking moment and every aspect of our health — from weight gain, diabetes, and heart disease to cancer and Alzheimer’s.In The Sleep Revolution, Arianna shows how our cultural removal of sleep as time wasted damages our health and our decision-making and our work lives and shortens our personal lives. She explores all the latest science on what exactly is going on while we sleep and dream. She decides the dangerous sleeping pill industry, and all the ways of our addiction to technology disturb our sleep. She also offers a range of recommendations and tips from leading scientists on how we can get better and more restorative sleep.In today’s fast-paced, always-connected and sleep-deprived world, our need for a good night’s sleep is more important than ever. The Sleep Revolution both sounds the alarm on our worldwide sleep crisis and provides a detailed road map to the great sleep awakening that can help transform our lives, our communities, and our world.12.

2020-2021学年洛阳市第一中学高三英语月考试题及答案

2020-2021学年洛阳市第一中学高三英语月考试题及答案第一部分阅读(共两节,满分40分)第一节(共15小题;每小题2分,满分30分)阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项AEach year, theLas Vegasconsumer electronics show, or CES, presents the latest developments in many areas of technology. The newest products are designed to make our lives easier, fun and more productive.A car with legsOne of this year’s presentations was by South Korean carmaker Hyun-dai. The company introduced a small model of a “ walking car,” which is called Elevate. It has four movable legs that can raise the main part of the vehicle high off the ground. The electric-powered vehicle is designed to be used in search-and-rescue operations during emergencies or natural disasters.Changeable people moverGermany's Mercedes presented an experimental self-driving vehicle that it claims can revolutionize transportation for people and goods. The company says the vehicle, called Vision Urbanetic, will be able lo easily change bodies depending on its desired use. Mercedes says as a ride-sharing vehicle , the futuristic-looking car can seat 12 people.Fully electric HarleyAmerican manufacturer Harley-Davidson showed off its first fully electric motorcycle, called LiveWire. The company says the bike will be able to go 177 kilometers between charges. It can reach 96 kilometers per hour in under3.5 seconds. Although Harley is known for building powerful bikes with huge, loud motors, the LiveWire will be unusually quiet.Personal robotsOne of the new robots, called Temi, is really just a computer tablet on wheels. It is designed to be a personal electronic assistant. It moves around the home and performs commands when spoken to. It can link users to friends through voice or video, connect to video or place orders for food or goods.1. Which do you probably use to search for the injured in an earthquake?A. Elevate.B. Vision Urbanetic.C. LiveWire.D. Temi.2. What is the first fully electric motorcycle produced by Harley-Davidson?A. ElevateB. Hyun-daiC. LiveWire .D. Temi .3. Why are the four products designed?A. To ease traffic jam.B. To help us socialize.C. To improve our life.D. To protect the environment.BOnce small farmers in Masii, a remote village in Kenya, have picked their crops, all they can do is wait until a buyer trucks through. The system works fairly well for beans and corn, but mangoes-the area’s other main crop-spoil (腐烂) more quickly. If the trader is late, they rot.However, a simple coating could change that. A company, SmartTech, has created a product that doubles the shelf life of fresh produce, enabling farmers to access far-off, larger markets. More time forfresh produce on grocers’ shelves also means less food waste-a $2.6 trillion problem, according to the United Nations’ Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO).James Rogers, CEO of SmartTech, wanted to solve the problem for food much in the same way that oxide barriers preventing rust (锈) have achieved for steel. Fortunately, researchers have found when plants made the jump from water to land, they developed cutin(蜡质), a barrier which is made of fatty acids that link together to form a seal around the plant, helping keep water in.The cutin was such a grand strategy that today you’ll still find it across the plant kingdom. SmartTech discovered through researches that an orange can last longer than a strawberry not so much because of the thickness of its skin, but because of the difference in the arrangement of those cutin molecules (分子)on the surface. After extensive trials, Rogers and his team developed a natural and tasteless protective coating from plant material-stems, leaves and skins. The product extends the sweet spot between ripening and rot. And best of all, the treated produce doesn’t require refrigeration.“SmartTech has huge potential to turn poor farmers in Africa into commercial farmers,” says Rogers. “That means more money in pockets, and more food in stomachs.” But whether the company can cost-effectively reach small farmers in far-off areas still remains a challenge.4. The author mentions the small farmers in Kenya to ________.A. stress their need for preserving produceB. show their challenge in harvesting cropsC. express their wish to reach larger marketsD. evaluate their loss caused by slow transport5. What can we learn about SmartTech’s product?A. It is financially supported by FAO.B. It is intended to replace refrigeration.C. It is designed to thicken produce’s skin.D. It is based on plants’own defence system.6. What will James Rogers probably focus on next?A. How to expand farms.B. How to earn more money.C. How to produce more tasty food.D. How to profit farmers in remote area.7. The main purpose of the passage is to ________.A. promote a productB. present a technologyC. advertise SmartTechD. introduce James RogersCHoneybees can’t swim, and when their wings are wet, they can’t fly, either. But Chris Roh and other researchers at the California Institute of Technology found that when bees drop into bodies of water, they can use their wings toproduce little waves and slide toward land-like surfers who create and then ride their own waves.As with many scientific advances-IsaacNewton’s apple or Benjamin Franklin’s lightning bolt-Dr. Roh’s experiment began with a walk. Passing Caltech’s Millikan Pond in 2016, he observed a bee on the water’s surface producing waves. He wondered how an insect known for flight could push itself through water.Dr. Roh and his co-worker, Morteza Gharib, used butterfly nets to collect localPasadenahoneybees and observed their surf-like movements. The researchers used a wire to restrict each bee’s bodily movement, allowing close examination of their wings. They found that the bee bends its wings at a 30-degree angle, pulling up water and producing a forward force. Bees get trapped on the surface because water is roughly three times heavier than air. But that weight helps to push the bee forward when its wings move quickly up and down. It’s a tough exercise for the bees, which the researchers guess could handle about 10 minutes of the activity.The researchers said the surf-like movement hasn’t been documented in other insects and most semiaquatic insects use their legs forpropulsion, which is known as water-walking. It may have evolved in bees, they-predicted.Dr. Roh and Dr. Gharib have imagined many practical applications for bees’ surfing. One plan is to use their observations to design robots able to travel across sky and sea. “This could be useful for search and rescues, or for getting samples of the surface of the ocean, if you can’t send a boat or helicopter,” Dr. Gharib said.8. What does the author intend to show by mentioningNewtonandFranklin?A. Roh’s admiration for them.B. Roh’s chance discovery about bees.C. Their outstanding talent for science.D. Their similar achievements in discovery.9. What plays the most vital role in a bee’s moving forward on water?A. The air weight.B. Its leg extension.C. The water movement.D. Its continuous wingbeat.10. What does the underlined word “propulsion” in Paragraph 4 mean?A. Fast flightB. Driving force.C. Pulling speed.D. Explosive power.11. What does the text mainly tell us?A. Honeybees can surf to safety.B. Bees help scientists make inventions.C. Insects can adapt to the environment.D. Nature is a helpful guide for discovery.DMedha Gupta sometimes felt worried about making the 20-minute walk from the corner where the school bus dropped her off to her home in Herndon -especially during the colder months in winter.Her mother, Divya Gupta had a suggestion: write an app. Shewas half-kidding,but Medha didn't take the challenge lightly. So she set out to work.The result was Safe Travel, an app designed by Medha to help walkers feel more secure when travelling alone. Using the iPhone, a person can program it to send a warning to someone he or she trusts if he or she fails to arrive at a destination within a certain time.It was the first iOS app that Medha had created. While she didn't think much would come from the project, her effort caught the eye of judges for the annual Congressional App. Challenge, who selected her as the winner for Virginia's 10th District.The App Challenge is designed to encourage students to consider careers in science, technology, engineering, and math by experimenting with coding and computer science. Winning students are invited lo attend a reception on Capitol Hill in April and also received $250 in Amazon Web Service credits.Medha said it took her about 40 hours to design, program and test the app. As for her next app? Medha's not certain. She temporarily has her app-development ambitionson holdbecause she's busy teaching herself artificial intelligence to help deal with improper words on Facebook. Yes,she knows that there are teams of engineers probably doing the same thing. But she figures it can't hurt her own part, too.“If we see something wrong with the world, we should do something about it,” she said. “After all, the onlyone stopping us from doing something is ourselves. ”12. Why did Medha Gupta feel worried?A. It took a long time to walk home.B. It was difficult to write an app.C. It was colder than ever in winter.D. It was unsafe to walk home alone.13. What is Medha's attitude to her mother's challenge?A. Serious.B. Casual.C. Uncertain.D. Indifferent.14. What does the underlined phrase “on hold” in Paragraph 6 mean?A. Developed.B. Delayed.C. Achieved.D. Satisfied.15. What's the main idea of the text?A. Medha signed up for the App Challenge.B. Medha designed Safe Travel successfully.C. An app Safe Travel guides walkers home.D.

On September 10, the center hosted a unique class of star musicians: kids and teens. The young players are part of the World Peace Orchestra, or WPO. The group held its first Music for Peace concert inNew York City, with 134 students from more than 60 countries taking part. Musicians were chosen from all over the world.The World Peace Orchestra began in 2013. The nonprofit group brings kids together using the common language of music. To be considered for the orchestra, students first had to be recommended by their teachers and then audition online for a group of judges. Once chosen, professional musicians and teachers then worked with the players to improve their skills.Some of the young musicians played classical instruments, such as violins and flutes. Others played instruments unique to their home country. For example, Amold Mugo, 16, fromKenya, played an instrument called the djembe. The drum is originally fromWest Africa. Mugo said he was shocked when he learned he was chosen for the orchestra. “I can’t express how I felt. I was rolling on the floor. It’s a once in a lifetime opportunity,” he said.Adomas Hendrixson, 13, fromLithuania, played piano for the WPO. Before theNew York Cityperformance, Hendrixson talked about what he hoped to take away from the event. “Fun and joy-- people smiling and clapping,” he said.“This is one of the only times in your life this could happen and I'm very excited.”Mugo says his favorite part of the WPO is making new friends from around the world. “I hope when I go home, I just take a little bit of every friend that I made here-- Brazil, Portugal, Queens,” Mugo said, “I hope that I take part of their culture home with me so I understand them more.”1. Who is most likely to have played for the WPO according to this passage?A. Li Ming, 16, a student fromChina.B. Daniel, 44, a judge fromAmerica.C. Edward, 21, a clerk fromAustralia.D. Catherine, 32, a teacher fromEngland.2. We can learn from the last paragraph that Mugo ________.A.performed best for the WPO.B. has learned some foreign culture.C. was eager to be chosen for a second time.D. received a great award for his performance.3. What would be the best title for this passage?A. Kids were good at playing music.B. Mugo liked making foreign friends.C. Concerts were played atLincolncentre.D. Young musicians played for peace.BThere are similarities and differences between high school life and college life.For one thing, there are several similarities between high school life and collegelife. First, the most important task in high school and college is both studying. Studying is the most important as a student. Second, we need a goal to fight for in both high school life and college life. To lead a meaningful life, we have to set up a goal to achieve.For another, there are also some differences between high school life and college life. First, our studying is also the biggest difference. In high school, we are required to follow our teachers' steps and finish theirassignmentsevery day. While in college, there are no teachers giving such detailed requirements to us and we can choose study or not according to our own willing. What and how to study totally depends on us. Therefore, the ability of self-control is very important in college life. Second, the flexibility (灵活性) of time is another difference. In high school, we have no much leisure except for our time of study. However, in college, we have much controlled by ourselves except the time of classes. And we have more time to do what we like. Finally, college lifeis much more various and richer. Besides study, we can attend many other activities, which make our college life more wonderful.In brief, there are both similarities and differences between high school life and college life. However, no matter we are in which period, we need to make full use of every day so that we will never feel regretful.4. Why do students need a goal to fight in high school and college?A. To enter a good college.B. To avoid living a meaningless life.C. To develop the ability of control.D. To meet their parents’ satisfaction.5. What does the underlined word “assignments” in paragraph 3 probably mean?A. Projects.B. Tasks.C. Goals.D. Dreams.6. Which is the correct structure of the passage?A. ①-②③-④B. ①②-③-④C. ①-②③④D.①②-③④7. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A. College LifeB. High School LifeC. High School and CollegeD. High School Life and College LifeCWhen you think of the icy Arctic Ocean, do you picture cold blue waters, on which float (漂浮) icebergs home to animals and fish not seen elsewhere on the planet? Think again, or rather add 300 billion pieces of plastic (塑料) to your picture. That's the amount of plastic that scientists believe is floating around the Arctic Ocean. Most of the plastic is in the area to the east of Greenland and north of Scandinavia.Where did it come from? After all, the lands near the Arctic are not really full of people. It turns out that ocean currents are carrying plastic thrown into the ocean all the way to the Arctic. An ocean current is an unending movement of sea water from one point to another. It is caused by several things including heat from the Sun, wind and movement of the Earth.Many of these plastic pieces seem to have travelled for years before reaching the Arctic. This was worked out by scientists studying the plastic problem after they observed the condition of the pieces. While much plastic floats on top of the water, a lot also may be on the sea floor.Plastic has been widely used for 60 years on Earth and our careless throwing of plastic things is slowly turning the once perfectly clean Arctic into a dangerous place. Unlike food waste and plant waste, plastic doesn't break down so easily. In fact the United States Environment Protection Organization reports that “every bit of plastic ever made still exists”.What's the effect? Seabirds, sea turtles and other ocean creatures could get hurt and die when they accidentallyswallowplastic. Plastic waste affects fishing, affecting people who earn money through fishing. Plastics can let out dangerous poisons (毒物) into the water. These may be swallowed by fish, and when these fish are caught and eaten by people or bigger animals, they could get poisoned too!8. What can we learn from the passage?A. The Arctic Ocean is heavily polluted.B. The plastic is mostlyin the area in the east of Greenland.C. An ocean current is just caused by the movement of the earth.D. Much more plastic floats on top of the water.9. Which of the following doesn't contribute to the plastic ocean?A. Humans throw away plastic things at will.B. Ocean currents carry plastic things everywhere.C. Plastic can let out harmful things into the water.D. Plastic is hard to break down.10. What does the underlined word “swallow” in the last Paragraph mean?A. Break down.B. Take in.C. Accept.D. Touch.11. What's the best title of the text?A. Are Men to Blame for Plastic Ocean?B. Arctic Ocean and Its Future!C. Is Plastic Harmful?D. Arctic Ocean or Plastic Ocean?DGerardo Ixcoy is a 27-year-old teacher in Guatemala. He teaches in the area where having electricity is something of a luxury and students have no access to mobile apps or computers, which became a problem when Guatemalan government had to choosedistance education for students at home because of COVID-19 inmid-March.Gerardo Ixcoy felt that he had to teach those children living far from the digital world.

It's a matter of respecting the healthy distance required to be safe from the virus. He, the teacher, stays outside, and the student participates from his or her house.He tries to visit his students at least twice a week, riding his classroom — cycle. The children he serves say that, although he visits them for only a few hours a week, they look forward to it. They appreciate his visit becausethey know he has limited time he can devote to them. They must take advantage of it to learn.12. What happened to Gerardo Ixcoy's students because of COVID-19?A. They chose to have classes in groups.B. They had to stop all the classes.C. They continued to have classes online.D. They started to learn about computers.13. Why does the teacher stay from a distance while teaching?A. Because healthy distance is reqired.B.

Among them, Yujian Peak is the highest, 1050 meters above sea level; Lion Peak is the most precipitous and spectacular, and the other peaks are also unique.Chongqing People's SquareChongqing's Great Hall of the People, one of the landmarks of Chongqing, gives people the deepest impression than its magnificent appearance resembling the Temple of Heaven. It also uses the traditional method of central axis symmetry, with colonnade-style double wings and a tower ending, plus a large green glazed roof, large red pillars, white railings, double-eave bucket arches, and painted carved beams.1.How deep is the Tiankeng Ground Joint?A.666mB.3,000mC.45kmD.1050m2.Which of the following rocks can you see in Youyang Peach Garden?A.LimestoneB.StalactiteC.MarbleD.Quartzite3.Which attraction is closest to downtown Chongqing?A.Fengjie Tiankeng Ground JointB.Jinyun Mountain National Nature ReserveC.Chongqing People's SquareD.Youyang Peach GardenBIt might have been Jimmy Kimmel, or any other sharp-tongued talk show hosts of late-night TV. In this instance, it was Samantha Bee, stating her opposition to childhood vaccinations humorously. “Who are you going to believe?” she asked. “Leading authorities on medical science, or 800 comments on your cousin’s Facebook page?”Joking about science can have serious effects, according to studies by communication scholars. Accordingly, since 2013, Paul, a psychological professor, has conducted studies of how satire (讥讽) can influence people’s beliefs about science, which have shown that if you want to interest people in science and shape their views on hot-button science issues, satirical humor can work better.Many Americans pay little attention to science. Even people who regularly watch TV news receive only scraps of science information in their media diet, because mainstream media outlets devote so little airtime to the subject. On top of that, some Americans may regard science as inaccessible.Yet satirical humor can reach viewers who would never watch NOVA or read — well, National Geographic. Millions of people watch late-night television programs live, and videos of these shows get millions of views on streaming services. In 2016, a vote conducted by the University of Delaware Center indicated that nearly one in 10 said they learned about science from late-night television shows.Late-night hosts may occasionally poke fun at scientists. More often, however, the hosts promote a positive image of science. By making science entertaining to audience with little knowledge of the topic, late-night television could spark science engagement. Furthermore, the researchers concluded that satirical shows had the biggest impact among the least educated viewers, thus helping to narrow a gap in attention to science. Though late-night satirical humor can boost science interest and awareness, it has its limits. Science is complex, and conveying that complexity in a few minutes while telling jokes can be a challenge.4. What does Paul’s studies of joking about science indicate?A. It may do serious damage to science.B. It can effectively popularize science.C. It totally changes people’s attitude to science.D. It will shift people’s attention from entertainment to science.5. Why do TV watchers receive a little science information?A. Because they enjoy watching entertainments.B. Because science is not easy to come up with.C. Because they find no interest in science issues.D. Because science is scarcely seen on mainstream media.6. What do we know about the late-night shows involving science?A. The hosts get used to playing tricks on scientists.B. The hosts’ aim is to build a positive image of science.C. Education gap can be bridged through late-night shows.D. Science participation can be promoted among their viewers.7. What’s the author’s attitude towards combining science with satire?A. Critical.B. Objective.C. Positive.D. Negative.CAs I work in theLarkwhistle Garden in Dyer's Bay, Ontario, I take my time and the garden is teaching me about working with the earth. I recognize that there will be both successes and failures and there are many variables(变量)that affect them both.The quality of the seeds planted has a bearing on how the plants will grow. The weather can be too hot, too cold, or exactly right, and usually varies between all three. Weeds seem to grow in the garden and need to be taken care of, pulled, and removed to ensure they do not eat into the fruits, vegetables, and flowers we have so lovingly planted.I take time to stand back and rest, and to observe the plants and how they are growing. Each plant is unique and develops in the way that is best for them. Some have large broad leaves to shadow their fruit from the severe rays of the sun, while other plants are more open, their fruit needing the light to grow and ripen.Getting my hands dirty, feeling the sweat on my forehead, and the strength and flexibility of my body as I dig,bend and work under the warm summer sun, reminds me I am alive in ways I would not have remembered sitting on the couch.It is attractive to move things around, to transplant, and to disturb the natural order of how plants grow. The garden teaches me that it is important to know when to disturb things and when to let them be. The garden's life cycle follows a pattern that is repeated according to laws of nature, birth, growth, and then dies and it teaches us to accept this fact.8. How many variables may affect the growth of plants in the garden?A. Two.B. Three.C. Four.D. Five.9. What can we learn about the author?A. He feels exhausted while gardening.B. He enjoys life from working practice.C. He takes pleasure in harvesting fruits.D. He dreams away his time in the garden.10. How is the garden tended by the author?A. Its rank grass is got rid of.B. Its plants are left to grow freely.C. Its temperature is controlled properly.D. Its plants with large broad leaves are cut off.11. What fact does the author learn from gardening?A. Life takes its course.B. Hard work benefits health.C. Time is short and precious.D. Gardening brings good harvest.DRock and pop hitmaker Jim Steinman, who wrote and composed music for Meat Loaf, Bonnie Tyler, Celine Dion, and more, died Monday in Danbury, Connecticut. He was 73. Steinman's brother Billconfirmed that the cause of death was kidney (肾) failure.A statement posted on Steinman's Facebook page read, “It's with a heavy heart that I can confirm Jim's passing. There will be much more to say in the coming hours and days as we prepare to honor this giant of a human being and his glorious legacy.”Steinman's wholly unique career found him working as a composer, lyricist, and producer for many artists in avariety of styles. According to a biography on his website, the records he's worked on have sold more than 190 million copies worldwide. He was nominated (提名) for four Grammys, and won Album of the Year for his work on Dion's 1996 smash,Falling Into You.Steinman began his career in a musical theater while in college, writing and starring in a rock musical calledThe Dream Engine, which gained the attentionof New York theatrical producer Joe Papp. After graduating, Steinman worked at the Public Theater (which was established by Papp). In 1973, Yvonne Elliman recorded Steinman's song “Happy Ending”, which became Steinman's first commercially released tune. That same year, the Public Theater staged his musicalMore Than You Deserve.One of the actors who auditioned forMore Than You Deservewas Meat Loaf, and he and Steinman soon struck up a close personal and professional relationship. The two began working on Meat Loaf's solo album,Bat Out of Hell, in the early 70s, but it wouldn't be released until 1977. It wasn't until about one year later — after Meat Loaf performed onSaturday Night Live— that the album became a hit.“There is no other songwriter ever like him,” Meat Loaf said. “I can never repay him. He has been such an influence, in fact, the biggest influence on my life, and I learned so much from him that there would be no way I could ever repay Mr. Jim Steinman.”12. What caused Jim Steinman's death?A. A hit on the head.B. A kidney problem.C. A failed operation.D. A lack of blood supply.13. What is the correct order of the following events?a. Meat Loaf performed onSaturday Night Live.b. Jim released his first commercial tuneHappy Ending.c. Jim and Meat Loaf released the albumBat Out of Hell.d. Jim starred in a rock musical calledThe Dream Engine.e. Jim's musicalMore Than You Deservewas put on show.f. Jim won Album of the Year for his work onFalling Into You.A. dbecafB. dbcfaeC. fdcaebD. fbceda14. Why was Jim Steinman important to Meat Loaf?A. Because Jim was an extraordinary songwriter.B.

2020-2021学年洛阳市第一高级中学高三英语月考试卷及答案

2020-2021学年洛阳市第一高级中学高三英语月考试卷及答案

2020-2021学年洛阳市第一高级中学高三英语月考试卷及答案第一部分阅读(共两节,满分40分)第一节(共15小题;每小题2分,满分30分)阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项ANothing beats live music, but the venue makes a difference. When you're able to score tickets to an incredible concert in an incredible place, you won't forget the experience. Here are some of the coolest music venues from around the world. If you haven't been to any of these, you've got some traveling to do.Red Rocks, Morrison, the United StatesRed Rocks might be the most beautiful and famous venue in the United States. At 6,450 feet above sea level, Red Rocks is a geologically formed natural stage. Its massive sandstone provides a perfect stage for jam bands. If you're into the blues and jazz, you'll have no trouble finding something in line with your interests.Meet Factory, Prague, Czech RepublicSmallest venues on this list, Meet Factory is an art gallery, theater, and music venue. The venue only accommodates 1,000 people, so you won't see any huge names come through. Still, it's a great place to see up-and-coming local acts, and if you've got an eye for contemporary art, you'll love your time here.Arena of NÎmes, NÎmes, FranceOriginally built around A. D. 70, the Arena of Nimes presents concertgoers with an interesting question: Should they enjoy the music, or marvel at the architecture? The Arena is, after all, one of the world's best-preserved Roman theaters. Many major touring acts plan stops at the Arena of Nimes, especially during the venue's annual festival.Sydney Opera House, Sydney, AustraliaThe Sydney Opera House is one of the world's most famous performing venues. I's also one of the most distinctive buildings in Sydney, thanks to the breathtaking design by Danish architect Utzon. It hosts about 40 events per week, so whether you're into jazz, rock, classical music, or opera, you'll find something to watch.1.Where can you enjoy music in natural beauty?A.At Red Rocks.B.At Meet Factory.C.At Arena of Nimes.D.At Sydney Opera House.2.What is special about Meet Factory?A.It enjoys breathtaking scenery.B.It hosts both musical and artistic events.C.It is the largest venue of all.D.It is famous for contemporary music.3.What do the listed music venues have in common?A.They have a long history.B.They are built near the sea.C.They accommodate thousands of people.D.They are beautiful tourist attractions.BFor as long as I can remember, my body and I have shared a relationship of discontent. Growing up, I was skinnier than the other kids and at five I was told I wasn't attractive and that I must put on some weight. But no matter how much I ate, I stayed thin for years until adolescence. Then I started putting on weight almost immediately. I remember feeling happy as I began to fill out. However, my joy didn't last long.I was thirteen when I was first called fat. Friends and neighbours would make jokes on my big size. As I entered my late teens, I had completely lost confidence in my body and, subsequently, in myself. Having failed to live up to conventional beauty standards, I was convinced that if I wanted to be loved, I needed to offer more, doing anything to please everyone around.I entered adulthood thinking I wasn't “enough”—an idea that was seeded not only by the fact that “skinny” is celebrated, but also by the language associated with accounts of losing weight—self­improvement, discipline—all virtues. Being fat quickly categorizes you as lazy and undisciplined. Consumed by thoughts of the way my body looked, I didn't notice the other ways my body needed attention. I failed to realize, for example, that my period was much heavier and more painful than ever before. Actually I developed a rare disease and later I had two surgeries.I was always made to feel that my weight was the root of a lot of problems in my life; I have learnt this is not true. After a lot of self­reflection and some professional help, I realized I never learnt to like myself. While two decades of self­hatred cannot be undone overnight, I have taken first steps to acceptance.I am now much lighter than before, in body and mind. There are days I find voices on social media saying I am too fat to be loved or to be worthy, but I am learning not to focus on that thought for long. As long as I like myself, just the way I am, opinions at the end of the day are just water off a duck's back.4. What can we learn about the author from the first two paragraphs?A. She could change her weight at will.B. She had different beauty standards from others.C. She tried to love others to build her confidence.D. She was greatly influenced by others' opinions.5. Why did the author think she wasn't “enough”?A. She was poorly disciplined.B. She failed to celebrate “skinny”.C. She was labelled as lazy for her weight.D. She put on more weight after entering adulthood.6. What caused the author to make a change?A. Her lighter body.B. A troublesome illness.C. Popular beauty standards.D. Others' critical comments.7. What is the best title for the text?A. Beauty matters.B. Opinions vary.C. Worth your weight.D. Beyond your limits.CAfter almost an entire year of not going shopping and vacationing, you find the numbers reflected by your bank account meet your heart's desire.Now the most important question comes, what to do with the earnings? Should you fulfill dreams of the present, invest in preserving the future or perhaps keep saving it for a rainy day?Our elders always try to teach us the value of money and its moral weakness. One may be on a winning streak(连续成功)now,but it will not always be so. One will have days when there will be no sunshine but only rain. and their luck will hide behind those thick grey clouds. Save for those rainy days,they say.Do not spend too much,live within a budget,refrain fromcredit no matter how small and save for the future.Since the very first time we earn our own money from a summer job or earning our first salary, the lessons start. In fact, the pocket money that we receive when we are children begins the process of learning how to best manage one's money.People often think like this-one day when I have enough money, I will travel the world. Then, once we do earn enough money, tomorrow's plans start shadowing our present ones. However, is it wise to keep living for that future? Will we still enjoy or even be able to backpack in -our 50s? How will we ever enjoy our present if we are constantly living for the future?Good questions, aren't they? 1 say travel but don' t let yourself run dry, treat yourself to some luxuries butalso keep enough for your necessities, and enjoy your present but with a plan for the foreseeable future.Life is for the living. so live it sensibly.8. Why do elders teach us to save money?A. Because there are more rainy days in life.B. Because no one can win streak.C. Because good days may end.D. Because money can't buy everything.9. What does the underlined phrase "“refrain from" mean in Paragraph 3?A. select fromB. hold backC. rely onD. prefer to10. What can we infer from the passage?A. We should enjoy ourselves at the right time.B. We should wait to travel until we have enough money.C. We should live for the future no matter what.D. We should enjoy ourselves to the fullest when we have money.11. What is the main idea of the passage?A. Money is something but not everything.B. One should save for rainy days.C. Live in the moment before you live for the future.D. Live the present wisely for your life.DThe shade of a single tree can provide welcome relief from the hot summer sun. But when that single tree is part of a small forest, it creates a considerable cooling effect. According to a study published today in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, trees play a big role in keeping our cities cool.According to the study, the right amount of tree cover can lower summer daytime temperatures by as much as 10 degrees Fahrenheit. And the effect is quite noticeable from neighborhood to neighborhood, even down to the scale of a single city block. “We knew that cities are warmer than the surrounding countryside, but we found that temperatures vary just as much within cities,” says Monica Turner, a professor in the department of Integrative Biology, Wisconsin-Madison University and a co-author of the study.With climate change making extreme heat events more common each summer, city planners are working on how to prepare. Heat waves drive up energy demands and costs and can have big human health impacts. Onepotentially powerful tool, the study's authors say, are organisms that have been around long before human civilizations could appreciate their leafy benefits. And those trees may be the secret to keeping the places we live livable.Essentially, says Turner, roads, sidewalks and buildings absorb heat from the sun during the day and slowly release that heat at night. Trees, on the other hand, not only shade those surfaces from the sun's rays, they also release water into the air through their leaves, a process that cools things down.To get the maximum benefit of this cooling service, the study found that tree cover must be more than 40 percent. In other words, an aerial picture of a single city block would need to be nearly half-way covered by a leafy green network of branches and leaves.12. What can we infer from Paragraph 2?A. Temperatures in cities mainly depend on their green coverage.B. People living and working in cities must plant trees in summer.C. Cities are warmer than the countryside because they don't have trees.D. An area with more trees can be cooler than the other parts within a city.13. Which of the following problems is caused by extreme heat events?A. Severe damage of city facilities.B. Serious human health problems.C. Residents' growing demands for plants.D. Unnecessary waste of energy resources.14. Why are trees crucial to cities?A. They help shade and cool the cities.B. They make urban scenery beautiful.C. They build up city cooling systems.D. They essentially block and release heat.15. What can city planners conclude from the study?A. They should publish the study in a newspaper.B. They should educate citizens to protect forests.C. They should plant trees on roads and sidewalks.D. They should cover nearly half the city with trees.第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。
