2018年河北省石家庄高考英语模拟试卷(二)第二部分阅读理解(共两节)第一节(满分30分)阅读下面短文,从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中,选出最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑.1.Best Science Books of 2017At its heart, science is about curiosity. So it stands to reason these books about science should make you examine your world more closely, and in doing so, give you a sense of wonder.Big Chicken, by Maryn McKennaInvestigative journalist Maryn McKenna uses the modern industrial chicken as a window into how antibiotics(抗生素)transformed modern agriculture—for good and ill. She traces how animal antibiotics endanger human health, causing serious problems from antibiotic resistant stomach infections to UTIs. Recognizing that Americans are going to continue to eat chicken no matter what, Mckernna suggests a way in which factory farming rids itself of its dependence on antibiotics.Why Time Flies, by Alan BurdickNew Yorker staff writer Alan Burdick examines the greatest gift humanity has ever known: time. Time, he writes, appears to exist in two distinct forms. One is the standardized, objective kind found in clocks and watches; the other is our internal, biological sense of time, the one we measure in our cells, bodies and minds. But the closer he looks, the less clearer this distinction appears.Paleoart, by Zoe LescazeDinosaurs have long captured the imaginations of scientists and artists alike, and Paleoart brings those visions together in a blend of human knowledge and creativity.These images not only show our changing understanding of dinosaurs, but also reflect the distinct artistic sensibilities of their time. Both artistic and educational, these pictures are certainly influential.What It's Like to Be a Dog, by Gregory BernsBerns, a neuroscientist, trained dogs to sit in a machine in order to look into the brains of conscious dogs for the first time. That pioneering work inspired him to dig deeper into the minds of other animals, from sea lions to the extinct thylacine(袋狼). Berns says, "With their ability to think, choose and feel, dogs and other animals do not deserve the cruel treatment humans so often do to them."(1)Which book has something to do with public health?A Why Time Flies.B Paleoart.C What It's Like to Be a Dog.D Big Chicken.(2)Who writes about time?A Alan Burdick.B Zoe Lescaze.C Gregory Berns.D Maryn McKenna.(3)What was Berns's pioneering work?A Studying extinct animals.B Observing dog brains.C Fighting for animalrights. D Training dogs.2. I was in the middle of a sweet dream when a noise startled me. Bam! Bam! It sounded like a hammer pounding on a tough nail. Bam! Bam! BAM! Who could be hammering at three in the morning? It must be Charlie again, making another invention.Just as I was putting on my slippers and clothes, the noise changed. I sat at the edge ofmy bed and listened. Tick! Tick! Tick! It reminded me of my first wristwatch. Its regular pace had always helped me fall asleep.I started dozing off , dangerously leaning to the left, when the ticking stopped. It wasnow replaced by a buzz, similar to the noise coming from a beehive in midsummer, only louder. I shivered. I'm allergic to bees ! Even just t thinking about it or hearing a bee like sound makes me swell."That's it!" I shouted, now wide awake, " I can't take it anymore!" I marched to the next apartment and knocked. My neighbor immediately opened the door. His curly brown hair was sticking up every which way. He wore baggy striped pants and a loose raspberry shirt. "Hi, there, Lucy! What's up ? " he asked.I pointed at my noiseless watch. "Do you know what time it is? "He grabbed my arm and glanced at my timepiece. "Oh, my! I didn't realize it was that late. I'm busy working on a machine that can cure insomnia(失眠). It's almost finished. You want to see it? "I should have known. His last invention was supposed to ________ bad smells, but it was powered by rotten eggs.(1)What made the author sleepy again?________A The ticking sound.B The coming of the bees.C The smell of the rotten eggs.D His neighbor's silence..(2)What was Charlie doing?________A He was inventing a wristwatch.B He was working with the bees.C He was making a new machine.D He was fixing a broken clock..(3)How did Charlie feel when he saw the author?________A Scared.B Surprised.C Annoyed.D Disappointed..(4)What doses the underlined word "annihilate" in the last paragraph mean?________A Make use of.B Give off.C Tell apart.D Get rid of.3.After shopping for deals in stores on "Black Friday", or online on "CyberMonday", Americans and people worldwide are preparing for newly popular "Giving Tuesday". Starting in 2012, now the global event that is celebrated annually on the Tuesday after Thanksgiving is the brainchild of 92nd Street Y, a cultural center in New York City and the United Nations Foundation.As the name indicates, Giving Tuesday is meant to restart the charitable season and therefore observed by raising funds for local nonprofits and schools, organizing food and clothing drives, and conducting random acts of kindness. In 2015, 700, 000 people from 71 countries came together to donate 116.7 million in cash. An additional 1.08 million was spent ongifts.While the easiest way to participate is by donating to your favorite charity, this day can be celebrated in many other ways too. You can give back by volunteering at your local shelter or food bank, or even by donating blood. If all else fails, a purchase from the growing number of organizations that give a portion of their sales to charity will do the trick.But perhaps the best way to celebrate the day is those nearest and dearest to you. Assist a family member with a simple chore like folding laundry, cooking dinner, or even reading to a younger sibling. No matter what you do, be sure to share your good deed on social media and inspire others to celebrate Giving Tuesday as well!(1)Which of the following has the shortest history?A Giving Tuesday.B Black Friday.C Thanksgiving Day.D Cyber Monday.(2)What's the main purpose of "Giving Tuesday"?A To make Thanksgiving Day enjoyable.B To encourage more people to do charities.C To get voluntary work better known.D To persuade more people to shop online.(3)Why does the author advise sharing good deeds on social?A To keep a record of one's experience.B To help people make new friends.C To make Giving Tuesday more popular.D To donate money to local schools.(4)Which section of a website does the text probably come________.A LifestyleB EducationC CultureD Business4. No spacecraft will ever land on the sun. The sun is a flaming ball of gas that reaches thousands of degrees Fahrenheit. But next year, a ship from Earth will fly closer to it than any man﹣made craft has flown before. The mission (任务) is a big development for scientists and, maybe, for everyone else.In September 2018, NASA plans to launch the Parker Solar Probe. After a journey of nearly 90 million miles, it will fly within 3.8 million miles of the sun. Within two months of launching, the probe is expected to reach the sun's corona(日冕). That's the sun's outer atmosphere of gases.Getting there won't be easy. Designing a spacecraft tough enough to hold up to the sun's heat has proved difficult. But that hasn't stopped engineers from trying. Temperatures in the corona can reach millions of degrees. The probe will limit itself to regions where things get no hotter than 2 , 500℉. That's still a heavy heat load for a spacecraft. But a 4.5﹣inch ﹣thick heat shield(罩)will protect the probe's camera and scientific instruments.NASA says the data the probe collects could provide knowledge into the physics of stars. Our sun is special to us. But as a star, it 's rather common. So the better we understand how it works, the better we understand all stars of its mass and color.Perhaps the most important is what the probe may show us about solar storms. During solar storms, charged particles stream through the solar system. They can disable communications satellites and shut down power systems One study has found that a very intense solar storm could cause up to﹩2 trillion in damage in the US alone. It could alsoblack out the East Coast for a year.Understanding solar storms might allow us to predict them ourselves. That could make even a mission with a billion﹣plus price tag one of NASA's great bargains.(1)What can we learn about the probe?________A It's the first man﹣made instrument to fly to the sun.B It'll get to the core of the sun in nearly two months.C It'll fly about 3.D It'll fly closer to the sun than the previous ones.(2)What is the challenge for the engineers?________A Reducing the temperature of the probe.B Building a shield against theheat. C Limiting the probe to proper regions. D Directing the probe to collect data.(3)What might be the best title?________A Getting close to the sun.B Designing a spaceship.C Protecting theearth. D Exploring the start.(4)Where does the value of the mission lie?________A Exploring solar energy.B Developing scientific instruments.C Forecasting solar storms.D Monitoring satellites.第二节(满分10分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项,选项中有两项为多余选项.5.根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

I live my life with the goal of never having to say those words, because they convey regret, lost opportunities, mistakes, and disappointment.My father is famous in our family for saying, "Take the extra minute to do it right." I always try to live by the "extra minute" rule. When my children were young and likely to cause accidents, I always thought about what I could do to avoid an "if only" moment, whether it was something minor like moving a cup full of hot coffee away from the edge of a counter, or something that required a little more work such as taping padding(衬垫) onto the sharp corners of a glass coffee table.I don't only avoid those "if only" moments when it comes to safety. It's equally important to avoid "if only" in our personal relationships. We all know people who lost a loved one and regretted that they had forgone an opportunity to say "I love you" or "I forgive you". When my father announced he was going to the eye doctor across from my office on Good Friday, I told him that it was a holiday for my company and I wouldn't be here. But then I thought about the fact that he's 84 years old and I realized that I shouldn't miss an opportunity to see him. I called him and told him I had decided to go to work on my day off after all.I know there will still be occasions when I have to say if only about something, but my life is definitely better because of my policy of doing everything possible to avoid that eventuality. And even though it takes an extra minute to do something right, or it occasionally takes an hour or two in my busy schedule to make a personal connection, I know that I'm doing the right thing. I'm buying myself peace of mind and that's the best kind of insurance for my emotional well-being.(1) Why does the writer regard "if only"as two of the saddest words in the English language?A. Because people use them when they feel sad.B. Because they express regret and disappointment in life.C. Because they remind the writer of some sad experiences.D. Because they mean sad in the English language.(2) What's the meaning of the underlined word "foregone" in Paragraph 3?A. Given up.B. Come across.C. Got through.D. Held back.(3) The author decided to go to her office on Good Friday to.A. see a doctorB. finish her workC. join a celebrationD. accompany her father(4) What is the best title for the passage?A. Advice from My FatherB. Avoidance of Saying "If Only"C. The "Extra Minute" RuleD. The Importance of Emotional Well-being3、【来源】 2018年河北石家庄高三二模(邯郸一中,石家庄一中,张家口一中,保定一中,唐山一中)(C篇)第8~11题8分2019~2020学年宁夏银川金凤区六盘山高级中学高二上学期期末第28~31题8分Imagine this scene: it's blowing outside, and you snuggle(蜷伏)up on the sofa under a warm quilt, chatting and recalling with your closest friends.That content, cosy feeling has a name in Danish—hygge. And, as Denmark recently won the title of "the happiest country in the world" , the concept of hygge is known to more and more people interested in finding ways to understand this concept.Hygge—originally from a Norwegian word meaning well-being—doesn't have an exact equivalent (等同物)in English. It's often translated as coziness, or as blogger Anna West told the BBC, "coziness of the soul" . But, as professor Maren Spark explains, "TAL#NBSP Hygge was never meant to be translated. It was meant to be felt."Basically, hygge involves creating a warm, cosy atmosphere and enjoying it with your loved ones. Danish winters are long and dark and so achieving hygge is particularly relevant during this season. A typical Hygge activity during winter could be enjoying delicious homemade food and light-hearted conversation with friends—preferably in the warm glow of candlelight, or maybe sipping a glass of wine in the hot tub after a day spent skiing.However, hygge isn't only limited to the cold winter months—it can also describe that warm, fuzzy feeling you get after a walk through a forest with friends on summer's day or a family barbecue in the park. Hygge is meant to be shared.(1) The author asks the readers to imagine the scene in the first paragraph to.A. help the readers to calm downB. introduce the topic of the passageC. present the main idea of the passageD. remind the readers of their past memories(2) What do the underlined words by Maren Spark mean?A. The translation of the word "hygge" is not good enough.B. Only Danish speakers know what "hygge" means.C. "Hygge" is easy to translate but hard to feel.D. We can get the true meaning of "hygge" by feeling it.(3) Which of the following can be best described as a "hygge" activity?A. Skiing in the cold winter months.B. Living through long dark winters.C.

But if virtual reality (VR) ever lives up to its promise, you might be able to do all these things—and many more—without even leaving your home. Unlike real reality, virtual reality means simulating (模仿) bits of our world. Apart from games and entertainment, it's long been used for training airline pilots and surgeons and for helping scientists to figure out complex problems such as the structure of protein molecules (分子). Then how does it work?Close your eyes and think of virtual reality and you probably picture something like this: a man wearing a wrap-around headset and data gloves wired into a powerful workstation or supercomputer. What distinguishes VR from an ordinary computer experience is the nature of the input and output. Where an ordinary computer uses things like a keyboard, mouse, or speech recognition for input, VR uses sensors that detect how your body is moving. And where a PC displays output on a screen, VR uses two screens (one for each eye), surround-sound speakers, and maybe some forms of touch and body feedback as well.VR has been routinely used by scientists, doctors, dentists, engineers, architects, archaeologists, and the military for about the last 30 years. Difficult and dangerous jobs are hard to train for. How can yousafely practice taking a trip to space, making a parachute jump, or carrying out brain surgery? All these things are obvious candidates for virtual reality applications.Like any technology, virtual reality has both good and bad points. Critics always raise the risk that people may be addicted to alternative realities to the point of ignoring their real-world lives—but that criticism has been leveled at everything from radio and TV to computer games and the Internet. Like many technologies, VR takes little or nothing away from the real world: you don't have to use it if you don't want to.(1) What equipment do we probably need for virtual reality?A. A keyboard, a headset and a supercomputer.B. A headset, data gloves and a speech recognition.C. A headset, data gloves and a supercomputer.D. A keyboard, a mouse and a speech recognition.(2) Paragraph 3 is mainly about.A. the principles of virtual realityB. the applications of virtual realityC. the history of virtual realityD. the influences of virtual reality(3) According to the passage, virtual reality means.A. imagining beautiful things in our mindB. creating something that doesn't existC. experiencing things that don't really existD. cloning something that has died out(4) What is the writer's attitude towards VR?A. Appreciative.B. Cautious.C. Skeptical.D. Indifferent.二、七选五(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)5、【来源】 2018年河北石家庄高三二模(邯郸一中,石家庄一中,张家口一中,保定一中,唐山一中)第16~20题10分A cobra (眼镜蛇) was set free on September 10 in a park in Xiangtan City, South China's Hunan Province.1. And they began hunting for the deadly creature to try to prevent it from hurting anyone.In the name of mercy, some people free captive (关在笼子里的) animals, including foreign species, mostly bought from pet shops or markets.2. Last April, someone freed hundreds of foxes and raccoon dogs in a Beijing suburb, causing economic losses to animal farmers and endangering the safety of local residents.3. Besides, today people are increasingly aware of the importance of environmental protection and biodiversity. But it is necessary to ensure that acts of freeing captive animals do not violate laws or harm the interests of the public.4.In order to regulate the release of captive animals, the government revised the law on wildlife conservation in 2016. According to the updated regulations, no individual or organization should harm the public interest by freeing captive animals.5A. And any creatures set free should be local species that have no threat to local biodiversity.B. However, their warm-hearted kindness often causes serious consequences.C. Freeing a cobra in a park reflects the troublemaker's ignorance of other people's lives.D. Such news has frequently appeared in recent years.E. Local police immediately arrested the troublemaker.F. Influenced by Buddhism, freeing captive animals is an act that deserves respect in China.G. It is important to protect animals including those set free by people.三、语法填空(共20小题;每小题1.5分,满分30分)6、【来源】 2018年河北石家庄高三二模(邯郸一中,石家庄一中,张家口一中,保定一中,唐山一中)第21~40题30分A woman professor was giving a lesson to her students on1management.

河北省石家庄市第二中学2018届高三一模模拟考试英语试题

河北省石家庄市第二中学2018届高三一模模拟考试英语试题学校:___________姓名:___________班级:___________考号:___________一、阅读选择Amsterdam is a special city. There are many places you should not miss during your visit. Here is our list of the best.Amsterdam canal ringThe city old centre is formed from canal rings, which give you the feeling of space, freedom and peace. Walk through these canal streets or better — take a trip by renting a boat yourself. Another way to explore the Venice of the North is to take a ride on a bicycle. Any way you decide for—enjoy this city.The National Maritime MuseumThe Maritime Museum is an attractive place to visit, especially with children. With many attractions in it, this colourful and enjoyable museum will help you understand the history of the Netherlands—a small nation which was one of the world’s greatest sea powers.Amsterdam Brown CafeWhen you enter Amsterdam old cafes called Brown, at first it will seem too much from the past and too crowded, but the atmosphere is unique. Relax and watch— most of people around will be locals. Feel like one of them — the real Amsterdammers.Civic Guards GalleryThis gallery is filled with old paintings from the Dutch Golden Age. The exhibited canvas may be not always the masterpieces of art, but these group portraits of Amsterdam citizens and their wives are an exquisite (精致的) document of the Dutch civilization and culture centuries ago.To avoid waiting lines we advise you to buy your tickets in advance online through our Amsterdam attractions and museums tickets webpage.1.How many ways are there for tourists to visit the city old centre?A.2. B.3.C.4. D.5.2.Where would you go to learn more about local life?A.Amsterdam canal ring.B.The National Maritime Museum.C.Amsterdam Brown Cafe.D.Civic Guards Gallery.3.Where does the passage probably come from?A.A fiction. B.A travel guide.C.A textbook. D.A science magazine.Quietly siting there reading, I found myself suddenly listening to the train guard’s announcement. Train travelers will surely agree that when the guard makes an announcement, whether it’s the recorded message or the guard’s message, few people listen to it, because it’s often quite dull or hard to understand. This one was different. I noticed that other passengers appeared to be listening, too. Not only that, everyone was smiling!Why was so much attention being paid to this message? As best I can recall, the guard said something along these lines, “Good Morning Ladies, Gentlemen and Children, this is the 7:35 a.m. from Penrith to Central and you’ll be pleased to know that we are right on time. And what a lovely morning it is in Sydney today. The sun is shining, birds are singing, and all’s right with the world. I trust you have a great day wherever you’re going. Thanks for catchin g my train this morning and I hope to see you again soon.”Quite a few people (obviously previous strangers) started talking to one another about the guard’s excellent message and how good it had made everyone feel. I started thinking about this, and then I found the young guard and said “Were you the guard on the 7:35 a.m. from Penrith?” The guard seemed a bit stunned at first, replying, “Yes, yyyyes.”“Well, I really appreciate your announcement. Thank you for your extremely good message, which gave me and the other passengers such a good start to the day. Please keep doing it.”I said.There are two messages for me in what happened that day. Firstly, when people are happy in their work it shows in what they do and say. Secondly, the story attaches much importance to the benefits that accumulate from thanking people for something they’ve done, particularly when it’s not expected. Can you imagine the conversation that guard would have when he got home?4.Why do few train travelers listen to the announcements?A.They usually feel sleepy.B.The messages are unattractive.C.The guard’s voice is not clear.D.They are absorbed in books.5.What does the underlined word “stunned”in Paragraph 3 mean?A.Patient.B.Cautious.C.Excited.D.Surprise.6.What might the guard talk about with his family when he got home?A.The beautiful weather.B.The recorded message.C.The train from Penrith.D.The unexpected appreciation.7.Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A.A Boring Train StoryB.An Intelligent GuardC.A Different Train AnnouncementD.A Lovely Morning in SydneyIt’s 3 o’clock and you’ve been hard at work. As you sit at your desk, a strong desire for chocolate overcomes you. You try to busy yourself to make it go away. But it doesn’t. Here is another situation. Perhaps you are not feeling well. The only thing you want to eat is a big bowl of chicken soup, like your mum used to make when you were sick as a child. Food cravings are a strong desire for a specific type of food. And they are normal.Scientists at the website How Stuff Works compare hunger and cravings this way. Hunger is a fairly simple connection between the stomach and the brain. They even call it simply “stomach hunger”. When our stomachs burn up all of the food we have eaten, a hormone (激素) sends a message to one part of the brain for more food, which regulates our most basic body functions such as thirst, hunger and sleep. The brain then produces a chemical to start the appetite and you eat. Hunger is a function of survival.A craving is more complex. It activates brain areas related to emotion, memory and reward. These are the same areas of the brain activated during drug-craving studies. Because of this, some scientists call food cravings “mind hunger”. People often crave foods that are high in fat and sugar. Foods that are high in fat or high in sugar produce chemicals in the brain. Thesechemicals give us feelings of pleasure.In a 2007 study, researchers at Cambridge University found that dieting or restricted eating generally increases the possibility of food cravings. So, the more you deny yourself a food that you want, the more you may crave it. However, fasting (禁食) is a bit different. They found that eating no food at all for a short period of time lessened food cravings.So, the next time you crave something very specific, know that your brain may be more to blame than your stomach.8.What is the function of the first paragraph?A.To deepen the understanding of hunger.B.To lead to the topic of the whole passage.C.To report the discovery of craving study.D.To remind readers of their own special food.9.What do we learn about food cravings?A.It means the stomach functions well. B.It ensures a person survives hunger. C.It shows food is linked to feelings. D.It proves the brain decides your appetite. 10.What’s the likely result of dieting?A.The increase of food desire. B.The decrease of chemicals.C.The refusal of fat and sugar. D.The disappearance of appetite. 11.What does the passage mainly discuss?A.The findings of food cravings. B.What hunger is all about.C.The functions of brain areas. D.What dieting may bring us.Imagine a cat that does not need someone to clean up after it keeps an older person company and help them remember to take their medicine. That is the shared dream of the toy maker Hasbro and scientists at Brown University in Providence, Rhode Island. The researchers received a $3-million-dollar award from the National Science Foundation for a special project. They want to find ways to add artificial intelligence, or A.I., to Hasbro’s “Joy for All” robotic cat.The cat has already been for sale for two years. Though priced over 1000 dollars, it sold quite well. It was meant to act as a “companion” for older people. Now the project is aimed at developing additional abilities for the cat. Research ers at Brown’s Humanity-Centered Robotics Initiative are working to decide which activities older adults may need the most. Theyhope to make the cat perform a small number of activities very well. Such activities include finding lost objects and reminding the person to take medicine or visit their doctor. They also want to keep the cost down to just a few hundred dollars.It is an idea that has appealed to Jeanne Elliott. Her 93-year-old mother Mary Derr lives with her in South Kingstown. Derr has dementia (痴呆). The Joy for All cat that Elliott bought this year has become a true companion for Derr. The cat stays with Derr and keeps her calm while Eliot is at work. Elliott said a robotic cat that helps her mother to remember to take her medicine and be careful when she walks would be greater.The researchers are trying to learn how the improved cats will complete helpful activities and how they will communicate. They say that they do not want a talking cat, however. Instead they are trying to design a cat that can move its head in a special way to successfully communicate its message. In the end, they hope to create an exchange between the human and the cat in which the human feels the cat needs them. By doing so, the researchers hope they can even help prevent feelings of loneliness and sadness among elderly people.12.What’s the purpose of the project?A.To relieve the pain of the elderly.B.To promote the sales of a medicine.C.To help make the robotic cat smarter.D.To invent a robotic cat for the elderly.13.Compared with the old model, the new robotic cat will be ________.A.cheaperB.smallerC.more talkativeD.more expensive14.What does Paragraph 3 intend to tell us?A.The more functions of the cat, the better.B.The cat gives much help to the elderly.C.There is no cure for dementia at present.D.Mary Derr would have died without the cat.15.What can we infer from the last paragraph?A.A talking cat is quite popular among the elderly.B.Feelings of sadness among the elderly are unavoidable.C.Each family can afford such a cat in the future.D.The feeling of being needed is vital to the elderly.二、七选五We all have to make decisions all the time, and we have an abundance of choices, ranging from tiny issues to vital ones. Unfortunately, people often find it hard to make decisions. 16.If you would like to improve your skill of decision making, here are four suggestions for you.Don’t expect to have it all.17.You can’t order every delicious dish on the menu. And there will be paths not taken, careers not chosen, to name a few. You can imagine some “what if” situations if you must, but do not let them take up too much space in your brain.18.It’s often good to think through your decisions. But don’t overdo it. Research can reach a point where returns begin to reduce, which makes it confusing more than clarifying. Many good decisions can be made based as much on intuition (直觉) as on careful assessment of endless data.Don’t delay making decisions.Yes, there is a time to put off making a decision. Perhaps you need more information.19.Or it's likely that you wait for a less stressful time. Just don’t wait so long that the decision is made by your own indecisiveness.Don’t be hard on yourself.You decide to go on a voyage. You choose an expensive liner. Everything should work out just r ight. Only you didn’t expect a bug that ran around on the ship, making you and your family sick for five days.20.But please remember it is unavoidable sometimes. A.Don’t spend too much time thinking.B.It is an important source of information.C.Don’t cou nt on emotion to make decisions.D.Maybe you wish to consult with your advisor.E.You may regret making such a stupid decision.F.That means the skill of good decision-making counts a lot.G.Decisions force us to close the door on other possibilities.三、完形填空Madison Williams was studying in her bedroom when the door burst open.

A"Shoeless" children are more likely to get to school earlier. leave later and read more. according to a new research by Bournemouth University.According to The Telegraph .researchers have observed tens of thousands of children who leave their shoes outside the classroom and found that pupils are more engaged in their lessons. which in turn leads to better academic performance. The research is in line with policies introduced in schools in England where children who go to class shoeless -following the steps of schools in Scandinavia in an effort to improve their academic standards and behavior.The study is based on observing and studying tens of thousands of children in over 100 schools in around 25 countries over the last ten years. For decades children in northern Europe have learned with their shoes off because they are left at the school door arrival due to snow.ice or mud.And now academics are calling on teachers in England to apply similar "shoeless" policies to give children the best possible chance of performing in their exams. Experts believe having children with no shoes in the classroom improves their learning because it makes them "feel at home" and more relaxed when learning.Professor Stephen Heppell. who leads the research at Bournemouth University, said: "Children are much more willing to sit on the floor and relax if they have no shoes on. The last place a child would sit to read is an upright chair and we've foundthat 95 percent of them actually don't read on a chair at home. When they go on holidays they read lying down.

Good behavior pays off in the endBI was talking with a friend not long ago who mentioned he was taking his childrento Paris for the summer vacation, and the only thing I could think of was how grateful I was that my father never did that for me. Our vacations were spent 50 miles south of our home in Indiana, at Lane’s Camping Retreat.The campground had two lakes: one for fishing, the other for swimming. The swimming lake had a diving board about 300 feet high, and every year some kid made his way to the end of the board and then froze with fear. We’d run to the camp store and fetch Mr. Lane, who would walk down to the lake and yell at the kid to jump. But he never would. So Mr. Lane would climb the ladder, throw the kid over his shoulder, and climb back down.One year, our dad bought a tractor inner tube, which amazed us---we had begged him for years for something to float on, and he had resisted, saying it would cause wild excitement and we would drown. Then, unexpectedly, he bought the tube, which lasted several minutes before it broke and sank while my brother was on it. He would have drowned, except he was five feet tall and the water was only three feet deep, so he just stood up and walked to shore.After supper, we would sleep with the tent windows rolled up and Dad telling ghost stories. The raccoons(浣熊)would come out from the woods and move around the campfire, eating the spilled(散落的)pie filling.“What’s that?” Dad would ask. “Someone’s out there. Can you hear them?”We would pull our sleeping bags over our heads and dream of serial killers, then awaken to the sound of birdsong.Though I have never been to Paris, I can’t for the life of me consider myself deprived(被剥夺的).25. What happened when the author’s brother floated on the water?A. He fell into the lake.B. He was hurt by the tube.C. He ran wild for several minutes.D. He drowned due to the excitement.26. How did the author feel about his friend’s summer trip?A. It was tiring.B. It was boring.C. It was costly.D. It was admirable.27. Why did Mr. Lane come to the swimming lake?A. To punish the naughty kid.B. To guarantee the kid’s safety.C. To teach the kids swimming skills.D. To help the kids overcome their fear of diving.28. For what reason did the kids pull their sleeping bags over their heads?A. They wanted to drive the raccoons away.B. They were frightened.C. They found the campfire unbearable.D. They felt very coldCProsocial behaviors are those intended to help other people. Behaviors that can be described as prosocial include feeling empathy(同感) and concern for others and behaving in ways to help or benefit other people.Prosocial behavior has long posed a challenge to social scientists seeking to understand why people engage in helping behaviors that are beneficial to others, but costly to the individual performing the action. Why would people do something that benefits someone else but offers no immediate benefit to the doer?Psychologists suggest that there are a number of reasons why people engage in prosocial behavior. In many cases, such behaviors are fostered during childhood and adolescence as adults encourage children to share, act kindly, and help others. Prosocial behaviors are often seen as being compelled by a number of factors including egoistic reasons (doing things to improve one's self-image), reciprocal benefits (doing something nice for someone so that they may one day return the favor), and more altruistic reasons (performing actions purely out of empathy for another individual).Characteristics of the situation can also have a powerful impact on whether or not people engage in prosocial actions. The bystander effect is one of the most notableexamples of how the situation can impact helping behaviors. The bystander effect refers to the tendency for people to become less likely to assist a person in distress when there are a number of other people also present. For example, if you drop your purse and several items fall out on the ground, the likelihood that someone will stop and help you decreases if there are many other people present. This same sort of thing can happen in cases where someone is in serious danger, such as when someone is involved in a car accident. In some cases, witnesses might assume that since there are so many other people present, someone else will have surely already called for help.Why do people help in some situations but not in others? Experts have discovered a number of different situational variables that contribute to (and sometimes interfere with) prosocial behaviors. First, the more people that are present decreases the amount of personal responsibility people feel in a situation. People also tend to look to others for how to respond in such situations, particularly if the event contains some level of ambiguity. Fear of being judged by other members of the group also plays a role. People sometimes fear leaping to assistance, only to discover that their help was unwanted or unwarranted. In order to avoid being judged by other bystanders, people simply take no action.Experts have suggested that some key things must happen in order for a person to take action.29. Which situation can be described as the bystander effect?A. When hearing an injured lady crying for help, the neighbors didn’t take action.B. On the scene of your colleague’s traffic accide nt, you called the police for helpC. A woman was to give birth on the train and you were the only doctor there.D. Seeing an old man slipping on the icy road, many people volunteered to help.30. What does the underlined word “distress” in the fourth par agraph mean?A. comfortB. despairC. peaceD. trouble31. Prosocial behaviors are motivated for all the following reasons EXCEPT________.A. the desire to better one’s self-imageB. instant benefits of helping othersC. parental influences in the early lifeD. empathy for another individual32. After the last paragraph, the most possible topic could be ________.A. situational influences on prosocial behaviorB. various reasons for prosocial behaviorC. possible benefits of prosocial behaviorD. skills and knowledge to provide assistanceDIn many countries, schools have long summer holidays, with shorter holidays in between. However, a new report suggests shortening school holidays to stop children forgetting what they have learnt during the long summer break. Instead of three school terms, it says, there should be five eight-week terms. And there should be just four weeks off in the summer, with a two-week break between the other terms.Sonia Montero has two children at primary school and works full-time. She supports the idea. “The kids,” she says, “have much longer holidays than me and I can’t afford to take several weeks off work, so I need someone to take care of them. But nobody wants the work in the summer months — they all have holidays of their own.”Not surprisingly, some young people disagree. Student Jason Panos says “It’s a stupid idea. I would hate staying at school in the summer. It’s unfair, too. The people who suggest this had long school holidays when they were young, but now they want to stop us enjoying the summer. The kids in Spain and America have much longer holidays than here, but they don’t forget everything they’ve learnt in a few months.”Nadia Salib agrees. “Sure,” she says, “the first week at school after the s ummer is never easy, but you soon get back into it. The real problem round here is that kids get bored after so many weeks out of school, and then some of them start causing trouble. But the answer is to give them something to do, not make everyone stay in school longer.”33. What does Nadia say about young people on summer holidays?A. They need something to do to enrich themselves.B. Long holidays are very bad for their education.C. They would like to spend more time at school.D. Long holidays should be shortened to stop them causing trouble.34. What does Jason say about long summer holidays?A. These days many older people have them too.B. Schools in other countries don’t have them.C. They can help children forget about school. D. T hey have little influence on children’s education.35. Why is Sonia in support of shorter school holidays?A. .She can’t afford to pay someone to look after her children.B. She is worried that her children will forget what they’ve learnt.C. She doesn’t get any summer holidays in her jobD. She can’t get anyone to look after her children in summer.第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

My brothers referred to these infamous screaming matches as World War III every time a battle began. The fights lasted as long as my mother could put up with my sharp tongue and snide remarks, after which I was sent to my room without dinner.Now we don’t argue anymore. It’s not because I’ve matured, gotten married, and left my pa rents, house, but because my mother cannot utter (发出) enough words to form sentences. Her brain is a mess that cannot communicate like a room full of people speaking different languages with no interpreter.At fifty-four, she was diagnosed with early-onset Alzheimer’s disease and now, four years later, she is completely dependent on my family and me to function. We feed her, dress her, bathe her, drive her around, and pray that the disease progresses slowly.Alzheimer’s has changed both the relationship we share as a mother and daughter and the fundamental beliefs that guide my life. I now believe that I am fortunate to have the opportunity to give back to my mother with the same love and devotion she always shared with me.I visit her as often as my schedule permits, Sometimes I share stories with her, reducing any details to basic terms that she can understand. Sometimes we sit in silence and comment every now and then about how good the coffee is. “Makes you feel good,” she tells me, talking about the coff ee, and I want to say the same thing about the time spent with her. I am so grateful for these moments, for the experiences we share,and for the chance to make up for the way I treated her years earlier. The funny thing is that she may never remember those arguments.25. What does the underlined word “matches” probably refer to?A. Games.B. Remarks.C. Arguments.D. Moments.26. What changed the relationship between the author and her mother?A. Her basic beliefs.B. Her mother’s disease.C. Her being mature.D. Her mother’s devotion.27. How does the author feel when telling the story?A. Sad.B. Funny.C. Anxious.D. Thankful.CIn most situations, bystanders’ responses like disapproving glares, uninvited comments or pi eces of advice to a child’s angry behavior can add to the stress of the situation. But sometimes bystanders truly understand, and sometimes their words or actions can make a positive difference. One mom experienced this firsthand.This mom was noticeably pregnant and traveling alone with her young son at a Los Angeles airport. Then things had taken a turn for the worse.The boy, about 18 months old, was in the midst of what Beth, a Facebook user, referred to as a “total meltdown.” He was running all over th e place, kicking, screaming, and flopping down (趴) on the floor, dead set on not getting aboard the plane. His mom did her best to calm him down, but, according to Beth, “she couldn’t pick him up because he was so upset. He kept running away from her, then lying down on the ground, kicking and screaming again.” Finally, the mom came to her wit’s end. She sat down on the floor next to her son, buried her face in her hands, and began to cry.Then the most amazing thing happened.A group of six or seven women, Beth included, circled around the mother-son pair and did something to help. Beth sang him “The Itsy-Bitsy Spider.” Another offered an orange. Another gave him a toy she had on hand. Another helped get his cup out of Mom’s bag. Yet another tended to Mom b y offering her a water bottle. With the help of these incredible women, the kid and his mother calmed down and were able to board the plane.And then life moved on. All of the strangers went their separate ways without speaking of what had happened. But Be th said it was something she’d never forget. “We were strangers, gathering to solve something,” she wrote. “It occurred to me that a circle of women, with a mission, can save the world.”28. What reaction of the bystanders is proper to a child’s angry beha vior?A. Understanding and trying to help.B. Offering parents some advice.C. Commenting on the situation.D. Stopping the child by glaring.29. What does the underlined part “came to her wit’s end” probably mean?A. Burst into tears.B. Felt totally at a loss.C. Gave in to her kid.D. Ran away from her kid.30. What were the group of women like?A. Professional.B. Courageous.C. Calm.D. Considerate.31. What’s the author’s purpose in writing the text?A. To describe a great volunteer Beth.B. To introduce some incredible women.C. To show how strangers can help out.D. To appeal to people to care for children.DThough the harmful effects of plastic on wildlife and human health are well-documented, this material is hard to avoid. Nearly everything we touch, from grocery bags to drink bottles, to food packaging, contains plastic. Now, Amsterdam’s Ekoplaza supermarket is making it a little easier for consumers to reduce consumption of single-use plastic bags and containers, which are blocking our landfills at alarming rates, with a special plastic-free aisle (通道). Believed to be the world’s first, the aisle has 700 products on sale including rice, beans, yogurt, chocolate milk, cereal, snacks and meat.While items still require packaging, everything is housed inside reusable or recyclable containers made of glass, metal or cardboard. The unique idea was given to the grocery-chain officials by UK-based environmental group A Plastic Planet, which takes the lead to advocate for at least one plastic-free aisle in supermarkets around the globe. The non-profit has even created a signature “plastic-free” mark to help consumers identify eco-friendly packaging. “This is a consumer-led campaign,” said a group co-founder Sian Sut herland. “We’re a grassroots organization. So obviously we’re working with industry and the government, but most importantly, we represent the public.”Ekoplaza, which plans to roll out the plastic-free aisles across its 74 stores by the end of the year, is not the only company trying to reduce plastic waste. In Berlin, the Original Unverpackt grocery store has been trying to change customer habits since 2014 by selling everything, from grains to produce and even soaps without plastic packaging. The supermarket, which requires customers to bring their own reusable containers, even sells chewable toothpaste that needs no tubes.Though it is encouraging to see companies trying to make a difference, for real change to happen, consumers have to avoid products encased in plastics, even if it means giving up their favorite food or drink. As Sutherland put it, “Plastic food and drink packaging remains useful and yet a destructive presence on the earth for centuries afterwards.”32. What does Ekoplaza want to do by setting up a plastic-free aisle?A. Cut down managing cost.B. Reduce plastic-packaging.C. Make shopping much easier.D. Increase the amount of sales.33. Which of the following can make a real difference?A. Consumers.B. Supermarkets.C. Organizations.D. Companies.34. What does Sutherland think of plastic packaging in the future?A. It will be of no use to consumers.B. It will exist for a long time.C. It will disappear in this century.D. It will replace other containers.35. What might be the title of the passage?A. Plastics are Harmful to the Environment.B. Non-profits Can Help the Supermarkets.C. Consumers Should Change Shopping Habits.D. Supermarkets Take Action for a Cleaner Planet.第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项,选项中有两项为多余选项。
