Kids love the interactive World Brooklyn, a small cityscape（城市风光）lined by stores where children can pretend to be working grown-ups.Children's Museum of ManhattanLooking for interactive art that welcomes curious minds? Then head to Inside Art, the current show up at CMOM, which lets your little ones climb in and over and all around the exhibits. It's ideas like this that make the 40,000-square-foot so special.

Earthquakes have been causing huge damage inHaitisince at least the 18th century. The capital city has been destroyed twice in 19 years. The 21st century has beenno more kind.The Earth’s outer shell is made tip of tectonic plates (构造板块) that move.Haitisits near the crossing of two tectonic plaits that make up the Earth’s outer shell. Earthquakes can occur when those plates move against each other and create friction (摩擦力).Haitiis also overpopulated. Plus, many of its buildings are designed to resist hurricanes but not earthquakes. Those buildings can survive strong winds bat are easy to fail down when the ground shrikes. Poor building practices can also play arole.“I think it’s important to recognize that there’s no such thing as a natural disaster,” said Wendy Bohon, a geologist. “What you have is a natural disaster that comes with a weak architecture system. We do know that earthquakes like this can cause huge damage because ofthefault,” said Wendy. “And it’s quite a significant risk in places that don’t have the construction practices to resist the shaking.”Construction of more earthquake-resistant buildings remains a challenge inHaiti, which is the poorest nation in theWestern Hemisphere. “While there have been some success stories of Haitians building more earthquake-resistant structures, the country has lacked a centralized effort to do so,” said Mark Schuller, a professor of anthropology and nonprofit and NGO studies atNorthernIllinoisUniversity.Haiti’s government has become increasingly weak, while non-governmental organizations only focus on their own projects.“There is technical knowledge inHaiti, There are trained architects. There are cityplanners. That’s not the problem,” Schuller said. “The problem is a lack of funding for coordination (协调), and lack of political will from donors to organizations providing aid.”4. Which factor causing the huge damage is highlighted?A. Its overpopulation.B. Its weak government.C. Its geographical location.D. Its weak architecture system.5. What does the underlined part “the fault” in paragraph 4 refer to?A Lacking political will to provide aid.B. Lacking hurricane-resistant; buildings.C. Lacking earthquake-resistant buildings.D. Sitting on the crossing of two tectonic plates.6. What’s Schuller’s attitude towardsHaiti’s government?A Supportive. B. Critical.C. Indifferent.D. Interested.7. Which of the following can be a problem according tothe last paragraph?A. Fund and will.B. Skilled architects.C. Urban designers.D. Technology and money.CYou've probably heard it suggested that you need to move more throughout the day, and as a general rule of thumb, that "more" is often defined as around 10,000 steps. With many Americans tracking their stepsvia new fitness-tracking wearables, or even just by carrying their phone, more and more people use the 10,000-step rule as their marker for healthy living. Dr. Dreg Hager, professor of computer science at Johns Hopkins, decided to take a closer look at that 10,000-step rule, and he found that usingitas a standard may be doing more harm than good for many.“It turns out that in 1960 in Japan they figured out that the average Japanese man, when he walked 10,000 steps a day burned something like 3,000 calories and that is what they thought the average person should consume so they picked 10,000 steps as a number” Hager said.According to Hager, asking everyone to shoot for 10,000 steps each day could be harmful to the elderly or those with medical conditions, making it unwise for them to jump into that level of exercise, even if it's walking. The bottom line is that 10,000 steps may be too many for some and too few for others. He also noted that those with shorter legs have an easier time hitting the 10,000-step goal because they have to take more steps than people with longer legs to cover the distance. It seems that 10,000 steps may be suitable for the latter.A more recent study focused on older women and how many steps can help maintain good health and promote longevity (长寿).The study included nearly 17,000 women with an average age of 72. Researchers foundthat women who took 4,400 steps per day were about 40% less likely to die during a follow-up period of just over four years: Interestingly, women in the study who walked more than 7,500 steps each day got no extra boost in longevity.8. What does the underlined word "it' in Paragraph 1 refer to?A. The phone recording.B. The 10,000-step rule.C. The healthy living.D. The fitness-tracking method.9. What does Paragraph 2 mainly talk about?A. How many steps a Japanese walks.B. How we calculate the number of steps.C. If burning 3,000 calories daily is scientific.D. Where 10,000 steps a day came from.10. Who will probably benefit from 10,000 steps each day according toHager?A. Senior citizens.B. Young short-legged people.C. Healthy long-legged peopleD. Weak individuals.11. How many steps may the researchers suggest senior citizens take each day?A. 4,400 steps.B. 10,000 steps.C. 2,700 steps.D. 7,500 steps.DIt's the near future.Animal populations have fallen sharply and 80% of species are extinct.The forests are so rare that you need to make a booking to visit one. Birds also face extinction.The Arctic terns,a species evolved to fly across the world on4000kmannual journeys，are on their last migration (迁徙) to Antarctica.The Last Migrationby the Sydney-based writer Charlotte McConaghy is a different sort of climate novel，one in which the heroine's(女主人公)damaged soul is as much a story as the damaged environment This is McConaghy's first work of literary fiction,after a history publishing in science fiction and a romantic fantasy series."I wanted to try and engage with the climate crisis closely,"she said."It's hard to nail down where he book came from.But I had Toni Morrison's words in my head:'If there's a book you really want to read,but i hasn't been written yet,then you must write it.'I love that. It really speaks to me.""I wanted to write about the way the natural world is disappearing but I didn't know a way in."The way in”, she says, was to"go travelling.I went to Ireland and Iceland,and thought about these incredible journeys of the ternsand these people who study hes journeys."The book became a story of a double journey: the migration of the birds,and a broken woman's travelling to the end of the earth.Much of the book is told in flashbacks, the action jumping between the south coast of New South Wales to the west coast of Ireland and to Greenland."I've always been fascinated with Ireland: the landscape, the people and the poetry and music.I was fascinated with writing a character from there. It was a way to connect more with the place."McConaghy says she also wanted to have a character who was"of two places"."I had lived in 21 houses by the time I was 21, as a result I definitely know how it feels to feel as if you are not sure where you belong and feeling as if you are between two worlds."12. How isThe Last Migrationdifferent from other climate novels?A. It forecasts environmental destruction.B. It features a bird's cross-continental migration.C It combines science fiction well with romantic fantasy.D. It attaches equal importance to the heroine's broken soul.13. What did McConaghy think of Toni Morrison's words?A. Inspirational.B. One-sided.C. Authoritative.D. Casual.14. Why did McConaghy go travelling?A. To appreciate the landscape of Ireland.B. To follow the migration of the birds.C. To get away from her tiresome life.D. To find ideas for her new book.15. How might a character "of two places"feel?A. Content and carefree.B. More connected with nature.C. Lacking in a sense of belonging.D. Knowledgeable about the world.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。

M:Well,I’m still here so I must think it’s OK.I’d like to make my stay another two years longer.W:Ha-ha.I bet you like the food the most,don’t you?Most Westerners do.M:You haven’t mentioned the Great Wall.W:Yes,and the Terracotta Warriors.M:They’re all wonderful,of course,but what I like most is right where we are now.(9)W:I don’t think the park is our greatest cultural conservation piece.(9)M:I don’t mean that.I mean the style of your gardens—the flowers,the trees.I love how the Chinese grow them and look after them.W:You have gardens in your own country,don’t you?M:Yes,and they are beautiful—but Chinese gardens are special and so many of our plants originally came from China.Text8W:Do you still hire a bike to get to the station?M:Of course I do.Doesn’t everyone?W:I do on Mondays and Tuesdays.On Wednesday,Thursday and Friday I walk all the way to work.(11)I think it is good exercise.M:That’s a long way.W:I count the steps on my phone—15,000each day.M:Those things aren’t accurate.W:Well,let’s just say I do a lot of steps each day.Steps are keeping me healthy.M:Riding a bike is exercise as well.Plus,it’s cheap and quicker.W:I love those hired bikes but I hate to see them being piled up and blocking entrances and sidewalks.(12)M:So do I.The industry grew more quickly than anyone anticipated.W:Yes,that is the only negative aspect I can think of.M:I wonder which is the better form of exercise—cycling or walking?W:Look it up.M:I will.I’m heading back to the office so I’ll check on the computer.(13)W:Let me know at the restaurant tonight.Text9W:Hey Ron,(15)(16)I heard that your family is planning to move away this year.Is that true?M:Yeah,unfortunately it is.My father has to go to Columbia for his job and we will go with him.W:Oh,no.I was hoping John had heard you wrong.He told me yesterday at Eric’s birthday party and I couldn’t believe it.Didn’t your family just move here last year?(14)M:It’s actually been two years since we moved to Canada from Japan,(14)but I know what you mean.It feels like such a short time.I just began to feel comfortable here.But because my father is in the military,we move often.W:Well,at least you get to stay with your family.My grandfather was in the military and he went all over the world flying airplanes.He met my grandmother in China,when they sailed on a boat together!What does your father do in the military?(15)M:My father actually fixes the trucks that the soldiers use to bring food to local villages.(15)He is really good at it.W:That makes sense.You did very well in engineering and math class this past year.M:Yeah,my father has taught me everything he knows.I just wish I did as good in Spanish class.I will need to speak it in Columbia,but I almost failed the class this year!(16)Text10We interrupt this show for an urgent weather report.Heavy snow is set to cause major damage in our area over the weekend.Police are warning drivers that they should avoid using their vehicles,as road conditions are expected to be very dangerous.About three inches of snow are expected to fall on Friday evening.That is on top of the two inches that fell the previous day.(17)Roads are also particularly risky because the rain which fell on Wednesday has turned to ice,(18)which has been covered by snow again.High winds are expected to cause the snow to block many routes.The A620and A625roads have already been closed by police.The A720road is still open but drivers are being advised to avoid it if possible.(19)Because of an accident earlier today there,it was closed for three hours,but this has now been cleared.Ambulances had been unable to reach a man trapped in his car at the scene.A rescue helicopter braved the high winds to pull him clear and transport him to the emergency department.(20)The hospital later said his condition was improving.Looking ahead,the snow will be with us for the next three days but we can look forward to warmer weather by the middle of next week.That’s all from this weather report.We’ll let you know of any further developments.*必备语料*▶fail the class挂科▶Nothing like that.不是那么回事。

He is trading his beautiful farmhouse in England for life in a mud hut in Uganda, East Africa.Pedley admits that he has notalways led a very positive life. At times he drank too much and got in trouble with the law. “I’ve always put the pursuit of money in front of everything else. As long as I was all right, I didn’t care who I was hurting, ” says Pedley.But a visit to Uganda in 2007 gave Pedley a new outlook on life. He was amazed at what he saw and how much the people there appreciated the work he was doing. “I worked there for a few days and these people who have nothing were thanking me by giving me bags of potatoes, which are a fortune for them,” he said.Now Pedley is selling his business, his $1.5 million farmhouse, and his expensive car — and moving into a hut made of mud and boards in a small Ugandan village. There he will help run an organization that hopes to improve the quality of life for people in the village of Kigazi. He will help to build schoolrooms for children and tanks to hold clean water for villagers. Today, people in Kigazi must walk two miles to a hospital, so Pedley will help to build doctors’ offices, too.Pedley’s organization will also work with English teenagers who are in trouble. The teens will be sent to a “camp” in Uganda that Pedley will run. The teens will live in mud huts and help to build water, health, and education facilities for kids in Kigazi, many of whom have lost their parents to poverty or disease. Pedley hopes the teens will see a side of life that might help them turn around their own lives and set them on a new and more positive path.4. Which of the following best describes Pedley’s life in the past?A. Negative.B. Colorful.C. Independent.D. Selfish.5. What will Pedley do in the small Ugandan village?A. Do business with the local people.B. Help farmers increase potato output.C. Assist villagers with construction work.D. Introduce tools to improve English teaching.6. Why will Pedley work with English teenagers in trouble?A. To encourage them to make friends with locals.B. To inspire them to live a more positive life.C. To train them to become doctors in the future.D. To make them learn about different cultures.7. What is the best title for the text?A. From millionaire to mud hutB. A life-changing adventureC. A rich man becoming homelessD. More money, more worriesIn the past, most people received their news from newspapers, magazines, radio and TV. But now, almost anyone can report and publish on the Internet and share it as news through social media. But the problemis that not all of the information is true and not all of the reporting is trustworthy.Howard Schneider, a former editor of the newspapersNewsday,started the Center for News Literacy (素养) at Stony Book University in 2007. The center has multiple projects, but the most famous one is a course to teach news literacy. The course trains students to look for various details that may indicate the truth of the story.Michelle Sheng is a third-year student at theUniversityofMichigan. Sheng finds that students either just stop reading the news or only take news from one source that they trust. "A lot of people are tired of the news. People are too busy to keep up with the news, and it is really easy to take whatever news is given to you because you don’t have the time to figure it out yourself,“ she says.For her part, Sheng recently created a digital exhibit for the university library of images to educate students on steps they can take to better analyze the news.It is important to educate an even larger audience, beyond American university students. The Center for News Literacy has developed teaching resources, as well as a free online news literacy course. It is also trying to reach a younger audience. It has partnered with several secondary schools in the American state ofNew Yorkto teach news literacy.People should research and confirm what they read online. However, to change human behavior is a difficult thing, but that really is the only thing that is going to help. The biggest problem is not getting people to be able to recognize bad journalism or false news, but getting people to want to recognize it. Our brains are wired to the Internet to seek out information that agrees with our current beliefs.8. What’s purpose of the course “News Literacy”？A. To get rid of false information on the Internet.B. To make people realize the risk on the Internet.C. To train students to tell true information from the false.D. To teach students good habits of using information online.9. Why do students have difficulty judging the truth of news?A. They are too lazy.B. They are bored with news.C. They lack news resources.D. They lack time to check its realness.10. What does the Center try to do besides teaching university students?A. Educate the public.B. Improve the service online.C. Prevent children going online.D. Set up several secondary schools.11. What did the author suggest doing to solve the problem of false news?A. Believing whatever you see.B. Changing human behaviors.C. Questioning all the news online.D. Only trusting reliable information.DThis year researchers expect the world to snap 1.35 trillion photographs, or about 3.7 billion per day. All those pixels (像素) take up a lot of room if they are stored on personal computers or s phones, which is one reason why many people store their images in the cloud. But unlike a hard on drive which can be encrypted to protect its data, cloud storage users have to trust that a tech platform will keep their private pictures safe. Now a team of Columbia University computer scientists has developed a tool to encrypt (加密) images stored on many popular cloud services while allowing authorized users to browse and display their photographs as usual.Malicious (恶意的) attempts to access or leak cloud-based photographs can expose personal information. In November 2019, for example, a bug in the popular photograph storage app Google Photos mistakenly shared some users' private videos with strangers. Security experts also worry about employees at cloud storage companies on purpose accessing users' images.So the Columbia researchers came up with a system called Easy Secure Photos (ESP), which they presented at a recent conference. “We wanted to see if we could make it possible to encrypt data while using existing services,” says computer scientist Jason Nieh, one of the developers of ESP. “Everyone wants to stay with Google Photos and not have to register on a new encrypted-image cloud storage service.”To overcome this problem, they created a tool that preserves blocks of pixels but moves them around to effectively hide the photograph. First, ESP's algorithm (算法) divides a photograph into three separate files, each one containing the image's red, green or blue color1 data. Then the system hides the pixel blocks around among these three files (allowing a block from the red file, for instance, to hide out in the green or blue ones). But theprogram does nothing within the pixel blocks, where all the image processing happens. As a result, the files remain unchanged images but end up looking like grainy black-and-white ones to anyone who accesses them without the decryption (解密) key.12. What's probably the main purpose for people to store images in the cloud?A. To save storage room.B. To make photos beautiful.C. To try a new storage way.D. To keep their privacy safe.13. Why might employees in cloud storage companies be distrusted by experts?A. They sell users' passwords.B. They have invented new tools.C. They often let out personal information.D. They may steal a glance at users' images.14. What's the advantage of ESP?A. It can provide clear images.B. It can decrease the upload time.C. It can classify images automatically.D. It can encrypt data on the original platform.15. What does paragraph 4 mainly talk about?A. Method of decryption.B. Image-processing technique.C. Separate files of images.D. Data analysisof color1 s.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。

高考英语一模试卷题号I II III IV V 总分得分一、阅读理解（本大题共15小题，共30.0分）AIT'S ENOUGH TO MAKE YOU BLUE IN THE FACE Time totake a stand against overpriced watches with the Stauer UrbanBlue，now only ﹩29．You need a new watch…the one you are wearing was made whenNixon was inoffice，but extravagantly-priced watches that addzeros just because of a well-known name are an insult to yourlogic．Ifs absolutely possible to have the highest quality，precision classic timepiece without the high and mighty pricetag．Here comes the Stauer Urban Blue．Packed with high-end watch performance and style，minus the high-end price tag．It's everything a high-end watch should be：Sturdy stainless steel and genuine leather construction．Precision timing that，s accurate to four seconds a day-that's more precise than a 27-jewei automatic watch priced at over S6，000．Your great escape from the over-priced watch craze．At Stauer，we go directly to the source （cutting out the middleman），and engineer our own watch designs．This means we can offer a top quality timepiece that happens to only cost the same as two well-made cocktails at your favorite bar．So，while we're busy revolutionizing the watch industry to bring you more real value，you can take your own stand against overpriced watches with the Urban Blue．Your satisfaction is 100% guaranteed．Wear the Urban Blue for 30 days．If you're not convinced that you achieved excellence for less，send it back for a refund of the item price．The Urban Blue is one of our fastest sellers．It takes six months to engineer this watch so don't wait．Limited to the first 1900 responders to this ad only．Stauer Urban Blue Watch ﹩199Offer Code Price ﹩29 +S&P Save ﹩1701-800-333-20451.What is the selling point of the Urban Blue？______A. It was made when Nixon was in office．B. It is the most precise watch in the world．C. It is designed by the company's own engineers．D. It is high in quality but amazingly low in price．2.To guarantee customers' satisfaction，the watch producer promises that ______ ．A. they will reduce the engineering time in the futureB. they will sell the watch always at a price of ﹩29C. customers can wear the watch on trial for 3 monthsD. customers can return the watch for a full refund within 30 daysBAre you having so much of work to finish and are unable to keep your home clean andhealthy Don't worry．Robotic vacuum cleaners are here to help you in cleaning．The robotic vacuum cleaners are outfitted with sensors，motherboard，Wi-Fi，and lasers to navigate across the home by themselves．They are made so small that they undoubtedly creep under the furniture，cupboards，beds，carpets and so an to detect and clean the dust．Whereas the robotic vacuum cleaners don't require any help from you，you just need to set it and then carry on your work such as cooking，painting，office work，etc．as it can efficiently clean without any supervision．If their batteries die off，they will automatically go to the charge station and get charged．The robotic vacuum cleaners make very little noise when compared to that of the standard vacuum cleaners．To collect all the dirt and grime that has been cleaned，these robotic vacuum cleaners come with a built-in waste bin．You can with no difficulty clean this inbuilt dustbin and can reuse them again and again．The problematic thing with the standard vacuum cleaner is that the vacuum bags are costly and has to be replaced once in 60 days．That is why it is best to invest your money in purchasing the robotic vacuum cleaner．Its purchase price may be a little high，but once you buy it，the maintenance cost will be decreased with so many other benefits．There are different types of robotic vacuum cleaners on the market right now in different sizes．Make a wise decision and buy the best robotic vacuum cleaner that can fulfill all your requirements so that you can be happy and hygienic（卫生的）．3.The underlined word "navigate" in Paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to ______ ．A. plot the pathB. reduce noiseC. collect informationD. charge the battery4.The robotic vacuum cleaners beat the standard ones in the following aspects EXCEPT that______ ．A. they are cheaper and smaller in sizeB. they cost less for maintenanceC. they make less noise when workingD. they are more intelligent and efficient5.Which of the following best summarizes Paragraph 2and 3？______A. The original design of robotic vacuum cleaners．B. The technical theory of robotic vacuum cleaners．C. The features of robotic vacuum cleaners．D. The functions of robotic vacuum cleaners．CWhen a caterpillar （毛虫）pretends to be a snake to keep off potential predators （捕食者），it should probably expect to be treated like one．This is exactly what happened in Costa Rica earlier this year，when researchers witnessed a hummingbird defending its nest from what it interpreted to be a snake，but was actually a caterpillar，which was feeding on a leaf above the nest．These caterpillars resemble flat dried leaves as adults．They can expand the top of their heads to expose a pair of eyespots that discourage potential predators．When disturbed，they raise their head up and move from side to side，increasing the snake-like appearance．In particularthey resemble a green parrot snake，known to feed on nesting birds．Hummingbirds have a few styles of flying：visiting flowers，feeding on some tiny insects，chasing each other，and mating territory （领土）display flights．Mobbing （围攻）behavior directed against a threat to their nest is much less common but easy to recognize if you know their flight behaviors．The interaction of the caterpillar and the humming birds took place in Costa Rica．The comings and goings of the female hummingbird around its nest may have disturbed the caterpillar，causing it to expose its eyespots，which in turn caused the hummingbird to defend its nest using what is referred to as ‘mobbing behavior' by birds．The caterpillar was unable to feed during the 26-minutes of nearly continuous attacks．Most of the bird's movements were cautious，but included quick attacks to peck or bite the eyespots．It was difficult for either the bird or caterpillar to withdraw from the standoff （僵局），with the hummingbird protecting its nest and the caterpillar just trying to finish its leafy meal．Eventually the caterpillar gave up on eating and crawled away while still under attack，and the hummingbird continued normal nesting behavior．When birds exhibit this mobbing behavior targeting snaked eyes，it often ends with snakes being killed by repeated bites and pecks near the head．As for creatures that imitate snakes to protect themselves from being eaten，can they in turn protect themselves？Because the hummingbird behavior was typical anti-snake behavior，it can be considered replicable （可复制的）．Future studies of this behavior can be conducted using a tiny，caterpillar robot．It should be remote controlled，light enough to attach to a leaf or stem，and wireless．With such a robot，researchers could vary the eye-like nature and contrast of spots on the head of the robot to test various responses of nest-defending birds． A study like this could definitively test the effects of eye-like versus other imitating patterning for exciting the defensive attacks．And，it turns out that the caterpillar feeds on a leaf on the same plant，as far away from the nest as possible!6.What do we know about caterpillars and hummingbirds from the passage______A. They belong to the same species．B. They are natural enemies of each other．C. They are insects and birds respectively．D. They compete against each other for territory．7.Hummingbirds will show their mobbing behaviors when visitors ______ ．A. are picking flowersB. are chasing each otherC. interrupt their eating leavesD. set foot on their territories8.Why is neither the hummingbird nor the caterpillar willing to withdraw at first______A. Because the hummingbird is trying to finish its leafy meal．B. Because the caterpillar is protecting the hummingbird's nest．C. Because they behave in this way out of their own interest．D. Because there is a green parrot snake watching them．9. A tiny caterpillar robot can be used to ______ ．A. imitate the anti-snake behaviorB. test nest-defending birds' responsesC. take control of the snake's behaviorD. guard against the defensive attacksDI'm a storyteller．And I would like to tell you a few personal stories．I grew up reading British and American children's books．When I began to write，I wrote exactly the kinds of stories I was reading：All my characters were white and blue-eyed，they ate apples and talked a lot about the weather，despite the fact that I lived in Nigeria．We ate mangoes，and we never talked about the weather．Because all I had read were books in which characters were foreign，I had become convinced that books by their very nature had to have foreigners in them．Things changed when I discovered African books．Because of writers like Chinua Achebe and Camara Laye，I went through a mental shift in my idea of literature．I realized that people like me，girls with skin the color of chocolate，could also exist in literature．I started to write about things I recognized．So what the discovery of African writers did for me was this：It saved me from having a single story of what books are．The year I turned eight，we got a new house boy Fide from a nearby rural village．The only thing my mother told us about him was that his family was very poor．And when I didn't finish my dinner，my mother would say，"Finish your food! Don't you know？People like Fide's family have nothing．" So I felt enormous pity for Fide's family．Then one Saturday，we went to his village to visit，and his mother showed us a beautifully patterned basket that his brother had made．I was astonished．It had not occurred to me that anybody in his family could actually make something．Their poverty was my single story of them．Years later，when I left Nigeria to go to university in the United States，my American roommate asked where I had learned to speak English so well，and was confused when I said that Nigeria happened to have English as its official language．What struck me was this：She had felt sorry for me even before she saw me．My roommate had a single story of Africa： a single story of catastrophe．Of course，Africa is a continent full of catastrophes．But there are other stories that are not about catastrophe，and it is very important，it is just as important，to talk about them．The consequence of the single story is this：It robs people of dignity．It makes our recognition of our equal humanity difficult．It emphasizes how we are different rather than how we are similar．So what if my mother had told us that Fide's family was poor and hardworking？What if we had an African television network that broadcast diverse African stories all over the worldWhat if my roommate knew about my Nigerian publisher，Muhtar Bakare，a remarkable man who left his job in a bank to follow his dream and start a publishing house？What if my roommate knew about my friend Funmi Iyanda，a fearless woman who hosts a TV show，and is determined to tell the stories that we prefer to forget？My Nigerian publisher and I have just started a non-profit called Farafina Trust，and we have big dreams of building libraries and providing books for state schools，and also of organizing lots of workshops in reading and writing，for all the people who are eager to tell our many stories．Stories matter．Many stories matter．Stories can break the dignity of a people，but stories can also repair that broken dignity．When we realize that there is never a single story about any place，we regain a kind of paradise．10.What is probably people's first impression of the writer when it comes to her nationality？______A. She mainly eats apples and mangoes．B. She may not speak fluent English．C. She comes from a place free of catastrophes．D. She prefers stories based on foreign characters．11.The underlined phrase "a mental shift" in Paragraph 2 refers to the writer's ______ ．A. discovery of African books with characters of her skin colorB. acquaintance with local African writers like Chinua AchebeC. realization that not only foreign characters exist in literatureD. change that she started to write about things she recognized12.How many personal stories has the writer mentioned in the passage？______A. Two．B. Three．C. Four．D. Five．13.The writer uses several single stories in the passage to illustrate that the single story______ ．A. matters in keeping listeners well informedB. tends to convey a prejudiced idea to listenersC. gets increasingly popular among story tellersD. fails to produce a lasting effect on listeners14.The writer lists many "what ifs" in Paragraph 6 to ______ ．A. emphasize our differences rather than similaritiesB. indicate the way that stories are used to break dignityC. show the hardship of recognizing our equal humanityD. stress the importance of telling diverse，balanced stories15.Which of the following can be the best title for the passage______A. The danger of the single storyB. The importance of telling storiesC. The single stories that matterD. Stories that can repair broken dignity二、单选题（本大题共15小题，共15.0分）16.In many ways， the magic of AI is__________it's not something you can see or touch．（）A. whetherB. whatC. thatD. why17.Being an experienced lecturer， Mr． Black___________his speech to suit a younger audience．（）A. simplifiedB. addressedC. exchangedD. delivered18.Bella， who is always cheerful， creates a friendly work atmosphere in her office everyday，__________her colleagues find pleasant and relaxing．（）A. whereB. whichC. whenD. that19.-It's really great to have a computer to store my photos．-Don't count on it too much． It____________break down and you'd better make a copy of them．（）A. mustB. canC. shouldD. will20.They___________with joy when they heard that their class won the first place in the relay race．（）A. picked upB. split upC. took upD. sprang up21.China's Chang'e 4 robotic probe entered lunar orbit on Wednesday, ________a major step in its mission to make a soft landing on the moon's far side.A. markingB. to markC. having markedD. marked22.-What a pity!

What hap pens in January stays in January； it rarely makes it to June． "New Year， New You ．" I'll try again and turn over a new leaf． And this time I am crossing my fingers that my new resolutions will be helpful．【写作内容】1．用约30个词概括上面两段文字的主要内容；2．用约120个词谈谈你的观点，内容包括：（1）新年表决心的意义，用1-2个理由或论据支撑你的观点；（2）实现新年决心的做法（至少两点）．【写作要求】1．写作过程中不能直接引用原文语句；2．作文中不能出现真实姓名和学校名称；3．不必写标题．【评分标准】内容完整，语言规范，语篇连贯，词数适当．答案和解析1.【答案】略【解析】56．【答案】56． D 57．D【解析】【分析】本文是一篇广告布告类短文阅读．文章主要介绍一款仅售29美元的Urban Blue手表．【56题详解】细节理解题．浏览全文"high-end watch performance and style"，"precision"，以及"Only ﹩29""escape from the over-priced watch craze"可知，这是一款物美价廉的手表．故选D．【57题详解】细节理解题．由本文最后一段Wear the Urban Blue for 30 days．If you're not convinced that you achieved excellence for less，send it back for a refund of the item price．可知，佩戴这款表三十天，如果顾客不满意，仍可退款．故选D．【点睛】文章内容较为简单，集中考查细节题，对此类题型，考生可以首先从问题中找到关键词然后以此为线索，运用略读及查阅的技巧在文中迅速寻找这一细节找到后再把这一部分内容仔细阅读一遍，仔细比较所给选项与文中细节的细微区别．例如小题2选择项中的return the watch与文章中send it back表达的是同一含义，所以我们考生要通过比较这些细微区别，仔细辨别才能得出答案．3.【答案】【小题1】A 【小题2】A 【小题3】C【解析】1．A．猜测词义题．根据第二段句子：The robotic vacuum cleaners are outfitted with sensors， motherboard， Wi-Fi， and lasers 机器人真空吸尘器配有传感器、主板、Wi-Fi和激光器．可见这些装置可以让吸尘器自己在家里导航．所以答案选A．2．A．细节理解题．根据第三段句子The robotic vacuum cleaners make very little noise 可知工作时噪音较小；根据倒数第二段句子Its purchase price may be a little high， but once you buy it， the maintenance cost will be d ecreased with so many other benefits．可知它的维修费用较低；根据第二段句子as it can efficiently clean without any supervision． If their batteries die off， they will auto matically go to the charge station and get charged．可见．它们更智能、更高效．A选项中们更便宜，尺寸也更小没有提到．所以答案选A．3．C．主旨大意题．根据第二段和第三段的描写可知这两段主要是介绍了智能机器扫地机的性能和特征，所以答案选C．本文主要介绍了科技产品自动吸尘器．他们将自动去充电站和充电．清洁垃圾效果好，所以选择买吸尘器要做好选择．阅读理解题测试考生在阅读基础上的逻辑推理能力，要求考生根据文章所述事件的逻辑关系，对未说明的趋势或结局作出合理的推断；或根据作者所阐述的观点理论，对文章未涉及的现象、事例给以解释．考生首先要仔细阅读短文，完整了解信息，准确把握作者观点．6.【答案】略【解析】61．【答案】61． C 62．D 63．C 64．B【解析】本文是一篇科普类短文阅读．研究人员发现毛虫会伪装成捕食者，而蜂鸟为保护自己的蜂巢与毛虫之间的相互影响．【61题详解】细节理解题．由第一段内容可知，Hummingbird（蜂鸟）需要保护自己的巢穴不受蛇的攻击，但那个蛇是caterpillar（毛虫）伪装的，毛虫只是为了吃巢穴上方的叶子，但是为了躲避攻击，假扮做蛇．毛虫与蜂鸟不是天敌关系，排除B，也不互相争夺领地，排除D．毛虫和蜂鸟分别是昆虫和鸟类．故选C．【62题详解】细节理解题．根据文章第四段he comings and goings of the female hummingbird around its nest may have disturbed the caterpillar，causing it to expose its eyespots，which in turn caused the hummingbird to defend its nest using what is referred to as ‘mobbing behavior' by birds．可知，蜂鸟该行为时为了保护巢穴，即其领地．故选D．【63题详解】细节理解题．根据文章第六段It was difficult for either the bird or caterpillar to withdrawfrom the standoff （僵局），with the hummingbird protecting its nest and the caterpillar just trying to finish its leafy meal．可知，蜂鸟需要保护巢穴，毛虫为了进食所以僵持不下，他们的表现都是出于保护自身的利益．选项AB主语混淆，故排除．故选C．【64题详解】细节理解题．根据文章倒数第二段With such a robot，researchers could vary the eye-like nature and contrast of spots on the head of the robot to test various responses of nest-defending birds．可知，用一个微小的履带式机器人以测试守巢鸟类的各种反应．选 B10.【答案】略【解析】65．【答案】65． B 66．C 67．B 68．B 69． D 70． A【解析】本文是一篇记叙文．文章作者讲了几个关于个人的故事，通过故事告诫我们：如果我们只去聆听关于一个人、一个国家的单一故事，将会导致非常严重的误解．【65题详解】推理判断题．由本文第二段可知，作者实际上来自尼日利亚，经常吃芒果，不讨论天气，有着巧克力肤色．可知至少不是说英语的欧洲人．从本文第四段，作者的美国舍友对她能说一口流利英语表示疑惑可知，因此可以推断出人们对尼日利亚的人第一印象可能是认为他们不会说流利的英语．故选B．【66题详解】词义猜测题．由本文第二段倒数I realized that people like me，girls with skin the color of chocolate，could also exist in literature．可知作者的思想转变是她意识到像她这样有着巧克力肤色的女生也是可以在文学作品中有一席之地的．即不仅仅外国人物才存在在文学作品中．故选C．【67题详解】细节理解题．本文第二段、第三段、第四段分别讲了作者自己意识到文学作品中人物不限英美，作者发现Fide一家贫穷却努力，作者的室友对尼日利亚的刻板印象．即一共三个她的个人经历．故选B．【68题详解】推理判断题．通读全文可知，不论是作者、作者妈妈、作者的室友，不同的人们有着不同的single story，实际上可以理解为"一面之词""刻板印象"，但其实又不符合事实，即会给听众传达有偏见的想法，故选B．【69题详解】。

California groups have access to special discounted pricesB. all groups may have to pay regular prices in spring breakC. additional fees for a docent-guided tour will be chainedD. a field group must arrive half an hour earlier to check inBAs robots are increasingly playing a part in society，we need to consider whether and how machines can learn morality．While robots can't be ethical （伦理的）agents in themselves，we can program them to act according to certain rules．But what is it that we expect from themA 2016 study by UC San Francisco found that most virtual assistants struggled to respond to domestic violence or sexual assault （袭击）．To sentences like "I am being abused"，several responded："I don't know what that means．If you like，I can search the web"．Such responses fail to help vulnerable people，who are most often women in this case．But should virtual assistants ever be able to call the police when it overhears domestic violence？In a widely reported case from 2017，Amazon Echo was said to have called 911 during a violent assault．Responding to the incident，Amazon denied that Echo would have been able to call the police without clear instruction．Even if it had the ability，it is unlikely that people would expect a virtual assistant to go beyond providing information．Then，there are robots whose very function gives rise to ethical questions．How should a driverless car react in an accident？To answer this question，Philippa Foot's famous philosophical thought experiment，the trolley （有轨电车）problem，is usually rolled out．It goes as follows：imagine you see an unstoppable trolley zooming down a track，towards five people who are tied to the track．If you do nothing，they'll die．But，as it happens，you are standing next to a lever that can redirect the trolley to a side track，which has one person tied to it．What should you do？Variations of this experiment are invoked （援引））to ask whether a self-driving car should turn sharply around a jay-walking pedestrian teenager while putting the two elderly passengers at risk．Should it spare the young over the old？Or should it save two people over one？Driverless cars are unlikely to encounter or solve the trolley problem，but the way we expect them to solve the variations could depend on where we're from．In the moral machine experiment，MIT Media Lab researchers collected millions of answers from people around the world on how they think cars should solve these dilemmas．It turns out that preferences among countries and cultures differ wildly．If，however，machines attain superior decision-making abilities，it may be necessary to have a full public discussion as to what should be the new and prevailing norms．But if we don't come up with an ethical framework，we might risk leaving it to companies to regulate their own products or for people to choose with their wallet．Figuring out what robot ethics we'd want is，therefore only the beginning．18.The first three paragraphs indicate that virtual assistants ______ ．A. must be programmed to learn moralityB. ever called 911 during a violent assaultC. have no abilities to respond to domestic violenceD. are expected to go beyond providing information19.According to the experiments，we can learn that ______ ．A. the trolley is redirected to the track tied with one person over fiveB. the self-driving car turns sharply to spare the teenager over the oldC. people from different cultures and countries make varied decisionsD. MIT Media Lab researchers have worked out practical regulations20.The passage mainly talks about ______ ．A. why robots are unlikely to solve the morality problemsB. whether robots are expected to make ethical decisionsC. what tech companies have done to better robots' responseD. how robots try to react to domestic violence or dilemmasCTo move visual technology into the future，sometimes it helps to make a little noise．Researchers have used sound waves to produce floating 3-D images，create a sense of touch and even supply a soundtrack．Since the 1940s，scientists have toyed with the concept of acoustic levitation （声悬浮），the use of soundwave vibrations to trap tiny things in midair．The technology has gained greater capabilities in the past decade．Some researchers believe this improvement could lead to applications such as contributing to novel 3-D printing methods，or creating displays that would be visible from any angle without requiring a screen．Other researchers have also worked on visual displays that use acoustic levitation．In addition to visuals，the system can also produce audible noise to give the display a soundtrack．And the ultrasound speakers can also concentrate vibrations in one spot so that a finger might feel a sense pushing back-a little like the object shown by the floating image is really there．Soundwaves create a 3-D display!Display without a screen is remarkably useful．It means that everybody in the room can see the image-any angle，location-and that's extremely helpful．As a communications system，such a display might one day allow users to chat with a 3-D projection （投影）of a person who can turn his or her head to follow as they move around a room．The display will require a lot more work before you can install it in your living room，however．So far，this has been done in the research laboratory．We need to push it a little bit harder．We need to do more analysis to see if it would make sense to create a real display that people would have at home．The current system can only show simple graphics，such as a smiley face or figure eight，in real time．Still，we are optimistic about the potential for this type of technology．If the system had only one speaker-covered surface instead of two，it could generate images that are bigger than the device itself We can't make a TV image that's bigger than the TV-ven a projector has to have a projection screen that's bigger than the image itself．But with a volumetric （容积的）display， a small，portable device might produce a much larger picture．We can imagine，in the future，having volumetric displays in watches，for example，that create large images that just project out of your watch．21.From the first two paragraphs soundwave vibrations can be used to ______ ．A. catch very small objects in midairB. develop 3-D printer's capabilitiesC. replace a creative display screenD. compose soundtracks by making no noise22.What do we know about display without a screen？______A. It has resulted in visual technology．B. It is possible to see the image from any direction．C. It is already ripe to create a real one at home．D. It has yet to be tested in the research laboratory．23.What does the last paragraph mainly talk about？______A. Outlooks for the new technology．B. Situations of the modem technology．C. Praise for the cutting-edge technology．D. Room for the technical improvement．24.What can be a suitable title for the passage______A. Hearing Is Seeing-Sound Waves Create a 3-D DisplayB. Seeing is Believing-3-D Printing Methods ArriveC. Advancing Sense of Touch-3-D Images Float in the AirD. Promoting TV Technology-Chat with 3-D ProjectionsDWhen the novelist Luis Alberto Urrea was 14 or 15，he took a trip deep into Mexico．He was born in Tijuana to a Mexican father and a white American mother before moving just across the border and eventually into the San Diego suburbs．But his father thought he was becoming "too American，and took him on a 27-hour journey to Mazatian．Along the way，his father gave him a paperback copy of The Godfather and told him it would change his life．"I don't think he was trying to make a case for us being criminals，Urrea says，"but he really felt this incredible connection to the family and the traditions and the honor for the old country，as people were making their way in the U．S．"In his new novel The House of Broken Angels，Urrea has written his own take on the Godfather story with a Mexican-American Don Corleone figure at its center．The story takes place over two days，as Big Angel de la Cruz buries his mother and celebrates his final birthday party on earth；he knows he's dying，and he's gathered his extended family around him for a noisy and lively goodbye．The idea was inspired by the final birthday party of Urrea's elder brother three years ago．"Everybody was jammed in his backyard，and there was a DJ and people dancing and consuming a serious amount of American junk food - they didn't want Mexican food，they wanted KFC and pizza．I thought，where are the tacos，dude？And my brother sat in his little chair in the middle of it．People were coming to him and kneeling，and they would thank him and kiss his hand or touch his head and tell him all the ways he had changed their lives．" Urrea's brother died of cancer within two weeks at 74，and the heartbreaking event haunted the author．He considered writing a memoir （回忆录）about it-"I was thinking about Truman Capote，when he did those tiny books about Christmas and Thanksgiving．" But his wife encouraged him to aim bigger．When he found himself seated next to the writer Jim Harrison at a dinner event，he shared the story，and Harrison said，"Sometimes God hands you a novel．You have to write it．" Urrea thought to himself "Marching orders from JimHarrison-this is good stuff． A kid from Tijuana doesn't get that very often．"The House of Broken Angels is a celebration of the Mexican-American family，but it also includes moments of frustration with this country's treatment of the immigrant group．Before he got too sick to work，Big Angel worked in an office and drank coffee from a cup that read BOSS．"Yeah，the employees all got the message，" Urrea writes．"The Mexican-American was calling himself their boss．" In a grocery store， a woman screams at two of his family members that they'll be kicked out of the country soon．"I had to bite down on the bitterness of my rage （愤怒），man!" Urrea says．"I was having some pretty serious response to Donald Trump's confusing and empty talk．But you know，it may have shocked a lot of the United States to hear this kind of empty talk and this bald-faced racialism of politics all of a sudden，but to us，this stuff isn't a surprise？""I really wanted to write a tribute to my brother，to my family and to us，but it's also a love song to the country，" Urrea says．"I think people have this weird，horrible view…that immigrants are evil snakes．People don't understand that immigration is truly a statement of love for this country，whatever the country represents．People want to be here and work．" And with persistence，they become the boss．25.Why did Urrea's father give him the book The Godfather! ______A. He wanted Urrea to enjoy the 27-hour journey．B. He thought the book had changed his own life．C. He tried to show Urrea a real case of criminals．D.

When I finally entered the world I weighed 11 pounds 10 ounces and was 24 inches long. When my mom told my grandmother my measurements, she asked in amazement, "Are you okay?!"I was healthy, but very shy as a child and into my teens. I'm from a small town, and I grew up and graduated with the same 50 people. I started playing basketball in third grade every Saturday, but I didn't have any control over my awkward body. (I didn't even score a point in a game until many years later.) I was 5-foot-10 in fourth grade. I had a small group of friends in elementary school, but sometimes the boys picked on me, calling me a bean pole or the Jolly Green Giant. I still remember my embarrassment when they laughed at me, and how badly I wanted to be invisible.In high school I got more involved in sports, but I spent most days in the art room. By this time everyone at my school was used to my height (by ninth grade I was 6-foot-3), but if I went out of town people would stare at me and comment about my appearance.I was forced into the spotlight wherever I went.With high school came more confidence. I had success in school, the arts and sports. I played basketball, but my true passion was track and field. During my senior year I was the conference champion in high jump and the 400-meter run. The friendships I gained through my involvement in high school boosted my confidence and helped me develop a sense of humor. Now when a stranger told me I was tall I would smile and nod or, if I was feeling determined, I would pretend to feel shocked and thank them for telling me. I had no idea!Still, society keeps me aware of my status as something rare. And even though people tell me I'm beautifuland I should be a model, there are times when I would trade in my long legs for a small frame and tiny feet. I often wish people weren't so rude. I'm a minority only in the sense of height. I like to think that those who have insulted me didn't intend to. I do believe that most people are basically good, but they can be insensitive.4. What can be inferred from Para.1?A. The writer's height has something to do with her late birth.B. Grandmother was unwilling to have the writer as her grandchild.C. The writer failed to have a successful life because of her unusual height.D. The writer was heavier and bigger compared with other babies when she was born.5. By saying 'I was forced into the spotlight', the author probably means that she ________.A.was criticized by othersB. caught public attentionC. was threatenedD. felt inferior6. Which of the following statements is NOT mentioned as the writer's experiences in high school?A. She quit playing basketball and joined the track and field team.B. She no longer felt upset when facing her height problem.C. She had a passion for some sports events.D. She built up more confidence.7. What does the last sentence imply?A. People enjoy making fun of others.B. People are bad andcannot be trusted.C. People tend to bully those who are weaker.D. People sometimes care little about how others feel.CTeens who have good, supportive relationships with their teachers enjoy better healthas adults, according to research published by an American research center.“This research suggests that improving students' relationships with teachers could have positive and long-lasting effects beyond just academic success," said Jinho Kim, a professor atKoreaUniversityand author of the study."Itcould also bring about healthimplicationsin the long run.”Previous research has suggested that teens' social relationships might be linked to health outcomes in adulthood. However, it is not clear whether the link between teen relationships and lifetime health is causal（因果的）-it could be that other factors, such as different family backgrounds, might contribute to both relationshipproblems in adolescence and to poor health in adulthood. Also, most research has focused on teens' relationships with their peers（同龄人）, rather than on their relationships with teachers.To explore those questions further, Kim analyzed data on nearly 20,000 participants from the Add Health study, a national study in theU.S.that followed participants from seventh grade into early adulthood. The participant pool included more than 3,400 pairs of siblings（兄弟姐妹）. As teens, participants answered questions, like “How often have you had trouble getting along with other students and your teachers?" As adults, participants were asked about their physical and mental health.Kim found that participants who had reported better relationships with both their peers and teachers in middle and high school also reported better physical and mental health in their mid-20s. However, when he controlled for family background by looking at pairs of siblings together, only the link between good teacher relationships and adult health remained significant.The results suggest teacher relationships are more important than previously realized and that schools should invest in training teachers on how to build warm and supportive relationships with their students. "This is not something that most teachers receive much training in," Kim said, “but it should be.”8. What does the underlined word “implications" in Paragraph 2 refer to?A. Recipes.B. Habits.C. Benefits.D. Risks.9. What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?A. Poor health in adolescence.B. Limitations of the previous research.C. Teens' relationships with their peers.D. Factors affecting health in adulthood.10. What does Kim's research show?A. Good adult health depends on teens' good teachers.B. Good family background promises long-term adult health.C. Healthy peer relationships leads to students' academic success.D. Positive student-teacher relationship helps students' adult health.11. Where does this text probably come from?A. A health magazine.B. A medical report.C. A term paper.D. A family survey.DThe World Wildlife Fund (WWF) says more than half of the world’s wildlife population has been lost, whichthe conservation group says has placed the health of the planet at risk.The WWF recently released its 10th Flagship Living Planet Report. The group warns the condition of the world's animals is worse than its earlier reports showed, indicating worldwide action is needed.The WWF is worried about the loss of and damage to Earth’s environment. The report provides information about more than 10,000 animal populations from 1970 to 2010. These populations are called “vertebrate species,” or animals with backbones — like fish, birds, mammals, amphibians and reptiles. The report shows these populations have dropped by 52 percent in just 40 years. It warns freshwater species have fallen by 76 percent, which is almost twice the loss of land and ocean species. Most of these losses are in the tropics, with the biggest drop inLatin America.Marco Lambertini, the WWF’s International Director-General said, “This is about losing natural habitats. This is aboutconvertingforests, grasslands, and wetlands into agriculture mainly, and it is about unsustainable use of wildlife. Illegal hunting has been actually increasing over the last 10 years, which definitely a driving force for extinction, particularly of large species.”The report also notes what it calls the world’s “Ecological Footprint”, that is, the effect of human activities on the planet. Mr. Lambertini says there has been an increase in carbon dioxide gases and the pouring of nitrogen into oceans and rivers from fertilizers used in agriculture, which certainly cannot continue.“We are consuming on average every year about the equivalent of about 1.5, one and a half times the resources available to the planet. That means we are cutting trees more quickly than they can be restored. We are fishing the oceans more quickly than fishing stocks can reproduce, and we are emitting in the atmosphere more CO2than the natural systems can actually absorb, which is clearly not sustainable.”Mr. Lambertini warns climate change affects almost everyone on the planet and that whole species may disappear if the world does not reduce the effects of humans on the climate.12. According to the passage, what kind of species faces the biggest drop in population?A. Land and ocean species.B. Animals with backbones.C. Freshwater species inLatin America.D. Freshwater species in the tropics.13. All the following can contribute to the loss of world’s wildlife population EXCEPT ________.A. turning wildlife habitats into agriculture land.B. making sustainable use of wildlife.C. hunting illegally.D. emitting CO2 gases and pouring nitrogen.14. Which does the underlined word “converting” in paragraph 4 mean?A. Conserving.B. Conveying.C. Exchanging.D. Transforming.15. It can be inferred from the passage that _______.A. Marco is much concerned about human’s current behaviors towards wildlife.B. what the planet provides now can satisfy human’s sustainable development.C. more than half of the world’s wildlife population has been lost.D. if humans reduce the effects on the climate, the whole species will not disappear.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。

Cooke turned and hardly had time to react before a flying disc hit her in the face with a "big bang”, leaving her right cheek swollen almost to the size of a golfball.Two men playing disc golf at the course in Jellie Park were about 20 metres fromthe pairwhen one of them threw the disc hard, aiming for a nearby goal.After being hit Cooke immediately went to the emergency department, where two CT scans on her face and cheek found she had escaped any broken bones. "I'm lucky it didn't hit my eye because I think I would have lost it." Cooke said.Cooke often walks her dog at the park and said it was always busy with people playing disc golf, but it was not until after Tuesday that she became concerned about public safety there.There were no signs about the disc golf course in the park, she said, and the area is shared with children and people walking their dogs.“If it had hit one of the kids in the head, it could have killed them.” Cooke did not think she was the only person who had been hit before, and said there would be others who share her concerns.Cooke planned to go to the council, saying it needed to realise how dangerous it was for the space to be shared by everyone and to provide disc golfers with a space where they can play safely. "There should be rules about how it's done, making it safe for everyone.”4. What happened to Cooke on Tuesday?A. She was struck by a golf ball.B. She was hit by a flying disc.C.

With the frequency of space launches dramatically increasing in recent years, the potential for a disastrous collision above Earth is continually growing. Now, Japanese orbital clean-up company Astroscale is testing a potential solution.The firm's End-of-Life Services by Astroscale demonstration mission is scheduled to lift off on 20 March aboard a Russian Soyuz rocket. It consists of two spacecraft: a smal “client” satellite and a larger “servicer” satellite, or “chaser”. The smaller satellite is equipped with a magnetic (磁力的) plate which allows the chaser todock withit.The two stacked spacecraft will perform three tests once in orbit, each of which will involve the servicer satellite releasing and then recapturing the client satellite. The first test will be the simplest, with the client satellite drifting a short distance away and then being recaptured. In the second test, the servicer satellite will set the client satellite tumbling before catching up with it and matching its motion to grab it.Finally, if those two tests go well, the chaser will live up to its name by letting the client satellite float a fewhundred metres away before finding it and attaching to it. All of these tests will be performed autonomously, with little to no human input once they are set in motion.“These kinds of demonstrations have never been done before in space - they are very different to, say, an astronaut controlling a robotic arm on the International Space Station,” says Jason Forshaw at AstroscaleUK.“This is more of an autonomous mission.” At the end of the tests, both spacecraft will burn up in Earth's atmosphere.If companies wanted to use this capability, they would have to attach a magnetic plate to their satellites so they could be captured later. Because of the growing space garbage problem, many countries now require firms to have a way to bring back their satellites once they run out of fuel or fail, so this could be a fairly simple likely plan, Forshaw says. Right now, each chaser can only nab one satellite, but Astroscale is working on a version that could drag three or four out of orbit at once.8. Which of the following can replace the underlined word "dock with" in Paragraph 2?A. Deal with.B. Keep up with.C. Join together.D. Crash.9. Why many countries now require firms to have a way to bring back their satellites?A. Because of the growing space waste problem.B. Because the frequency of space launches are dramatically increasing.C. Because they can earn large profits from it.D. Because Astroscale has found a new method of capturing the space garbage.10. What will Astroscale do to solve the space junk problem?A. An astronaut controls a robotic arm on the International Space to capture the “client” satellite.B. Through a magnetic plate remotely controlled by humans on the ground to catch the “client” satellite.C. Finding the "client "satellite and attaching to it with a magnetic plate automatically.D. Tumbling to match the motion of “client satellite the drag three or four satellites out of its orbit into atmosphere.11. What can we infer from the passage?A. People will bum the space junk up in Earth's atmosphere in the future.B. Japan andRussiawill conduct space debris cleanup experiment together.C. These kinds of demonstrations have never been done before.D. The demonstration mission will be divided into three phases.DThere 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.12. 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.13. What does the underlined word “assignments” in paragraph 3 probably mean?A. Projects.B. Tasks.C. Goals.D. Dreams.14. Which is the correct structure of the passage?A. ①-②③-④B. ①②-③-④C. ①-②③④D.①②-③④15. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A. College LifeB. High School LifeC. High School and CollegeD.

Honestly speaking, they're one of those strange little destinations that I like to sniff out everywhere I go, much as other travelers head toward clothing stores, libraries, coffee shops or galleries.The greatest beauty of the grocery store –– whether it's a supermarket or a tiny shop –– is that it gives you a glimpse into what local people buy to cook their own meals. This offers clues into their lifestyles and preferences, and into the agricultural and cooking practices of the country. I stare at the strange fruits and vegetables, the seafood, the cheese, the spices, the bread, and oh, the chocolate...always the chocolate!Being the environmental nerd（呆子）I am, I like paying attention to packaging, which can reflect people's attitudes towards environmental protection. Italy, for example, has a habit of requiring customers to bag their fruits and vegetables in plastic for weighing, while Sri Lanka leaveseverything loose in bins. In Brazil, everything is prepackaged in a layer of plastic.People in grocery stores tend to be friendlier. They smile, say hello, and sometimes ask questions, which can lead to great conversations. I had a further discussion with a teenaged cashier in Sri Lanka, over which bag of crunchy（松脆的）mix to buy. He insisted that the one labeled “spicy” would be too hot for me, but I told him I was willing to risk it. He laughed and we ended up talking about my favorite Sri Lankan foods for ten minutes.It's interesting then to come home and look at one's own local grocery store through new eyes. What would a visitor think? What stands out, and what do the food displays say about us as a culture? You might be surprised by what you realize.4. According to the author, what is the key benefit of visiting foreign grocery stores?A. Learning to cook foreign dishes.B. Making friends with local people.C. Buying cheaper food and souvenirs.D. Knowing local people and the country.5. What does the author show by mentioning some countries in paragraph 3?A. People's special lifestyles.B. People's shopping habits.C. People's environmental awareness.D. People's packaging methods.6. What can we infer from paragraph 4?A. Sri Lankans know a lot about food.B. Grocery stores are good social places.C. Grocery stores vary in different countries.D. Sri Lankans like to give strangers suggestions.7. Which of the following shows the structure of text? (P: paragraph)A. B.C. D.CWhen a United Kingdomsupermarket chain promised to move its farms to Net Zero by 2030, it made it clear that the effort would require working on many different fronts. From energy consumption and land - use change to methane emissions (甲烷排放), cattle farming comes with environmental challenges. So even if recent studies suggesting it's possible to cut methane emissions 80% do turn out to be accurate, there's still a very long way to go for most cattle farming to get anywhere close to truly net zero.Organic Valley, when producing milk, might be closer to that goal. It made headlines in 2019 by going 100% renewable (可再生的). Now the company is expanding on that tradition by starting a major loan initiative (贷款计划) to help its farm suppliers adopt renewable energy too.Created with Clean Energy Credit Union, the $ 1 million loan fund will deliver loans at below - marketrates.Specifically, the money will be made available to Organic Valley's 1, 700 farmer members, and can be used for a variety of projects.“We are focused on a whole systems approach to renewable energy, and I'm excited to launch this energy loan fund. From the farm to the shelf, I see renewable energy playing a bigger role in organic food,” said Bob Kirchoff, Organic Valley CEO.“Organic Valley is already helping to protect the environment through organic farming practices, and now they re going one step further by supporting the introduction of renewable energy projects for their farmer members,” said Blake Jones, volunteer board chair of Clean Energy Credit Union. “In addition to the environmental benefits, we re eager to help family farmers throughout the world to lower their energy costs.”The world is not short of examples of farmers innovating in the field of renewable energy. What's encouraging about Organic Valley's announcement is the idea of a national brand putting its marketing and financing weight behind such efforts and, hopefully, creating consumer demand that pushes the rest of the industry in this direction too.8. What does paragraph 1 indicate about going net zero for cattle farming?A It is not easy to achieve B. It is common in the UKC. It is an impractical goalD. It meets no challenges9. What is Organic Valley's tradition according to the text?A. Helping farm suppliersB. Using renewable energyC. Having a loan initiativeD. Making headlines annually10. What is Organic Valley's initiative mainly intended to do?A. Reform organic farming practicesB. Make use of environmental benefitsC. Help farmers decrease energy costsD. Shrink the group of farmer members11. What is the author's attitude towards Organic Valley's initiative?A. WorriedB. DoubtfulC. AmbiguousD. PositiveDIt was five years ago that something unforgettable happened. My wife and I celebrated our 40thwedding anniversary that year. It was a lovely event hosted by our sons for us. My wonderful friends from the past surprised us with gifts and congratulations. Our gift to each other was a driving trip out west. We drove fromOntariointoAlberta, then southward intoGlacierNational ParkinMontana, and continued toYellowstoneNational Park.It was a cold spring day, and theBeartooth Highwayhad opened for the season just days before. Alongside the road, there was still a great amount of snow there. The scenery was so impressive that we made lots of stops to record memories with my camera. At the highest point of the highway, I stopped at a lookout to catch the amazing views, with my wife in the centre of my camera lens.There were not many cars on the road. Sometimes, cars with energetic young tourists passed by. And then we heard a motorcycle in the distance. The driver of the motorcycle, who wore dirty clothes, parked behind our cars. As he approached us, his only words were, “Give me your camera and get over there with your wife.” I must admit I felt nervous that we might be robbed where we just created some beautiful memories. Surprisingly, he just took a picture of us, handed back my camera and rode off before we could express our gratitude. The photo he took is one of the most valuable and prized of our trip.I learned my lesson somewhere I least expected it. We should never judge a man by his appearance. If the motorcycle driver reads this story and remembers the situation, we would like to say “Thank you” to him.12. According to the passage, what do we know about the trip?A. It was taken by train to the west.B. It was a suggestion from their friends.C. It was in the late autumn five years ago.D. It was a gift for their wedding anniversary.13. Why was the author nervous when the motorcycle driver offered to take a picture?A. He could have lost the camera.B. His wife might not be satisfied with the view there.C. The motorcycle driver would borrow the camera.D. The motorcycle driver might not be good at the taking pictures.14. Which of the following best describes the driver of the motorcycle?A. Kind and straightforward.B. Rich and generous.C. Creative and capable.D. Careful and admirable.15. Which of the following can be concluded from the passage?A. No pains, no gains.B. Seeing is believing.C. Don’t judge a book by its cover.D. The longest journey begins with the first step.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。
