Here I feel greatly privileged to introduce to you my favorite one, the Dragon Boat Festival.Being a lunar holiday, the Dragon Boat Festival falls on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month. With a long history, it is marked with eating Zongzi and racing dragon boats, in memory of the great ancient poet Qu Yuan. He is said to have committed suicide by drowning himself in a river, due to the fact that his devotion to his country was ignored. The reason why I favor this festival is that I really enjoy having a good feed on delicious Zongzi while watching the wonderful Dragon Boat races, with all my family members accompanied.To sum up, the Dragon Boat Festival is a day of vital significance. I do hope you can come to China to experience it.Best wishes!Yours,Li Hua听力原文：Text 1M: Only two days left until summer break! What are your plans, Jessica?W: I’m off to Canada for a camping trip. (1) What about you, Sam?M: I think I’ll stay here and relax.Text 2W: What are you guys laughing at?M: It’s this new movie called The Internship. It’s very funny. (2)Text 3M: I’m afraid we’ll have to cancel the trip, Grace.W: Yeah, this is much more important. You’ll have to go to the funeral. He was your uncle. (3) Text 4W: Benjamin promised to come for our party if he has time.M: He often does it, but he never seems to have time. So you had better not take his words seriously, otherwise you will get disappointed later. (4)Text 5 (推断题)W: I often mistake Mark for Tom in class. Can you tell them apart?M: No. They are twins, and many teachers make the same mistake like us. It is really a little embarrassing to make mistakes all the time in face of so many students.Text 6M: Look at all this bread! French, Italian…it all looks really good. I don’t know when America started its bread revolution, but I’m sure glad it happened. I could eat bread all day!W: Me, too. This isn’t the kind of bread we ate when we were young. That sliced bread had more artificial things in it than you can count! (6)M: Yeah, but our parents didn’t realize it was so unhealthy. These days, you can find a lot of freshly-baked bread with only four or five ingredients.W: So, what are we going to buy? That long loaf of dark bread looks really good.M: I’d rather have something lighter and thicker so I can make a nice big sandwich with it. (7) Text 7M: L ook at this place! If I didn’t know it was the city I grew up in, I’d swear I was somewhere else! (8)W: Yeah…so many houses are empty or broken down. It wasn’t like this when we were kids. M: We used to play ball in the streets all the time, but it looks so dangerous now.W: And ugly. Look at all that trash in the streets. (9) The wind just pushes it along. What a lonely place!M: This used to be a great city. People came from miles around to work in the shops and eat in the restaurants. What a sad sight! I guess when the glass making industry decided to move across the country where it’s cheaper, the quality of life here went away, too.W: Yeah, let’s go. There’s nothing left for us here. I’m getting depressed.Text 8W: George, why are you a vegetarian? Your whole family eats meat, except you. I can’t imagine how you chose to live this way.M: Oh, it happened a long time ago when I was about ten years old. We had some friends who lived on a small farm. They had chickens, goats, sheep, and a few cows. (11) One time, we were invited over for dinner. We came early so we could play before we ate. I was running around the yard with my friends, when I saw the father preparing the meal. He had just caughta chicken and was cutting off its head. I felt very sick when I saw him do it. (12) After that, Iwould think about the poor chicken every time I ate meat. I ate less and less meat, until Istopped for good when I was twelve years old. (10)W: I see. What did your parents think about your decision?M: Well, sin ce it didn’t happen all at once, they probably learned to accept that I would be a vegetarian. It wasn’t easy for them — especially for Mom, who had to cook differently for me. Text 9M: Mom, I haven’t been able to stop thinking about the food in India. Ev er since I got back from my trip, I’ve been dying for some real Indian food. (13) But there’s nothing around here. No restaurants serve the kinds of dishes I ate there. I’d have to go to a big city to find anything that comes close. In our town, they don’t even make spicy food!W: Well, Drew, why don’t you try making your own? (14)M: I wish I could! But I wouldn’t know where to start.W: I’ll help you look online for some recipes.M: How will we know which ones are good?W: We’ll try them, of course! After some practice, we’ll be able to tell which ones we’ll like best. M: But I doubt we’ll find everything we need in the grocery stores. I’m sure they use many unusual spices in India.W: We will start simply. I know I’ve seen some Thai spices at the marke t — maybe some of them will be useful. If we find that those aren’t enough, we can order some online. There must be Indian grocery stores somewhere in America that will ship them. (15) If worse comes to worst,I’ll ask my brother in New York to look around. (16) He should be able to find a place that sells Indian spices!M: Thanks, Mom! (16) This is gonna be fun! I can’t wait to start cooking!Text 10Whoever dreamed up the idea of a subway knew what it means to live in a city. Study the faces of the subway riders, and you’ll see what I mean. They are all traveling in a busy world that exists under another busy world. The New York subway is one of the largest public transportation systems in the world. It is also one of the oldest — it has been underneath this city for 110 years now. (17) I’ve been riding it for half that time. When I was a kid, there wasn’t any fear — only adventure. Subways were for dreaming. And I would stand at the window of the front car and dream through the great network of tunnels, watching the red and green lights go by. A subway is like a secret, a child’s game. You go in one hole and you come out another. You move fast —much faster than a taxi, or walking or running. Years ago, a woman named Rosie Ruiz tried to steal a victory in the New York marathon by taking a subway to the finish line. (18) Rosie was right. The subway was faster. In the 1960s, the subway got to be a dangerous place. (19) Subways have been made a great deal safer since then. I think what people like most about the subway, apart from basic transportation, still comes from the magic feeling of rushing around fast in a train underground. (20)。

New technologies, however, always are associate d with risks -- and these are also seen by laymen," says Christoph Böhmer t, first author of the recently published study and researcher of the Science Communication Group of KIT's Institute for Germ an Studies. "It is crucial to enable adequate communication b etween science and society, which does not only consider sci entific findings, but also concerns of the population." The stud y clearly showed that communication of risks may be complic ated sometimes. Information on efficient precautions was foun d to lead to an increased risk perception by the recipients of t he information.In their study, the researchers analyzed communication about a technology that has become indispensable in our life -- mobile communications and the electromagnetic fields （电磁场）on which it is based. All over the world, radiation protection au thorities, such as the German Federal Office for Radiation Pro tection, communicate the current state of research into risks o f electromagnetic fields as follows: Investigations made and al l findings obtained so far do not allow any conclusions to be d rawn with respect to mobile communications being a risk for h uman health. But, the experts continue, there still are knowled ge gaps as regards long-term impacts. Then, measures are recommended to reduce e xposure of the individual to electromagnetic fields.It had been known from previous studies already that informat ion on precautions may increase worries. It had been suspect ed that people conclude from the recommendation of precauti ons that there really is a risk. This effect was not confirmed by the recent study. The scientists rather attributed the increase d worries to a lack of knowledge about the propagation(传播) of electromagnetic fields.Within the framework of the study, the recommended precauti ons were submitted to 1717 Australians, together with one ofsix information brochures providing scientific background infor mation. When test persons were given not only the recommen dations, but also explained why observation of these tips stro ngly reduces their exposure to electromagnetic fields, worries increased. For example, scientists explained to the test perso ns that telephone conversations with a headset largely reduce exposure. When a mobile phone is located ten centimeters in stead of just one centimeter away from the ear, the electric po wer absorbed by the ear is about one hundredth of the initial v alue. Hence, the own mobile phone usually causes an exposu re that by far exceeds that of mobile communications stations that are generally referred to as "cellphone towers." While the scientists wanted to explain the effectiveness of precautions, t est persons mainly considered this information to be an indica tion of their mobile phone -- not the transmission towers -- being dangerous. As a result, they perceived increased risk potentials for telephone conversations with their mobile phone s."The study reveals that messages on precautions and informa tion are a double-edged sword in terms of subjective risk perception. Their use should be far better understood," Boehmert says.63. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage ?A. Adequate information on efficient precautions can relieve t he concerns of the publicB. Mobile communications definitely do harm to people’s heal th in the long run.C. Information about technologies and their risks may have u ndesired side effects.D. Observation of the precautions can help reduce the conce rns of the public66. According to the passage ,we can conclude that the best way to relieve the inappriate worries is to __________.A. enable the users to know better of science and technology .B. produce new electric products with a lower radiation valueC. provide the public with less information on effective precaut ionD. inform the public about the potential risks with more patien ce65. The word “precaution” ( first appears in paragraph 1) in bold letters has the closets meaning to _______-A. introductionB. intentionC. recommendationD. prevetion66.

Wilson：“Conversation is the most common of all human social activiti es, and doing it well requires that we know what our conversa tion partners most want to hear.___67___”says psychological scientist Daniel T, Gilbert of Harvard University.“When our friends try to tell us about movies we’ve never see n or albums we’ve never heard, we usually find ourselves bor ed, confused, and underwhelmed. ___68___. And yet, as soon as it’s our turn to speak, we do exactlly the same thing to our friends – with exactly the same consequences. We wanted to understand why this happens.”Gilbert explains. The research ers decided to do this by conducting a series of experiments. In their first experiment, the researchers assigned participants to groups of three, with one person acting as the speaker and the other two acting as listeners. Speakers watched a video a nd then tried do describe it to the listeners. Some of the listen ers had seen the video the speakere was describing, and oth ers had not.___69___. When the speakers were done speaking, the listen ers rated them on these aspects. The results showed that spe akers’ predictions were exactly backwards. Speakers expecte d listeners to respond more positively to their stories when the listeners had not seen the video they were describing ___70_ __. Although speakers expected listeners to enjoy hearing about a novel experience more than a familiar one, it was actuall y the other way around.A second study showed that when asked to predict their own r eactions before hearing the story, listeners made the same mi stake that speakers did.Ⅳ.

When I was younger , I didn’t really complain . But now I have reached an age when this curfew is no longer suitable . For s everal reasons , it is clearly time to move my curfew to 10:00 p.m. on weekends.First of all , I ’m soon going to be an adult , like all teenagers , I need practice handling the greater freedom that goes along with being an adult . When teenagers don’t get practice han dling freedom , they often make many serious mistakes. For e xample , some teenagers go away to college and suddenly th ey don’t know how to handle it , and they get into trouble . I be lieve it is better to increase freedom gradually . That may the t eenager learners how to handle freedom responsibly . I believ e I could handle a later curfew without making serious mistak es in judgment.A later curfew is also important to me because I’m an active s tudent . As you know , I am often on the committee in charge of running extra-curricular activities .Because of my present curfew , I have to f inish school activities over an hour before they are over. Othe rs students must take over for me when I leave . A 10:00 curf ew would allow me to stay until the end of school functions an d give me enough time to get home without rushing .Finally , I am a teenager who can be trusted to handle a 10:00 p.m curfew . I know that many teenagers cannot handle muc h responsibility . However , I am clearly not that kind of teena ger. I have proven myself to be a very responsible person . Fo r example , I have never been in serious trouble , either at sch ool or in the company . I also hold a part-time job and still manage to maintain a “B” average in school .In other words , I am a person who uses my time wisely , me ets responsibilities an stays out of trouble .V.

AFour Wild Animal Species Were Endangered Maybe you can still see them at the zoo. But that doesn’t mean they’re doing alright in the wild.TigersAll six tiger species are endangered, with Sumatran tigers and South Chin tigers at a seriously endangered status. The main reasons for their population decline are illegal hunting and destroyed habitats(栖息地), as humans clear forests to gather timber（木材）and build roadways. Only about 3890 tigers presently live in the wild.Ground squirrelsThat’s right, even squirrels are endangered, specifically the San Joaquin ground squirrel. Native to California, USA, these guys have been disappearing since 1979 on account of the construction and human developments going through their habitat. Their total population is unknown , but it could be anywhere between 124000 and 413000.GiraffesThe International Union for the Conservation of Nature recently put giraffes at a vulnerable status, the level just before endangered. The giraffe population has declined 40 percent in the last 30 years, primarily due to loss of habitat and illegal hunting. Some giraffes are killed just for their tails, which are considered status symbols in Africa.Asian elephantsThe main threat to Asian elephants, one of the most intelligent animals, is their shrinking habitat. As the human population grows, people invade their land to build roads and railway tracks. Elephants in Myanmar are at an especially high risk for being captured and traded or used illegally in the tourist industry. Fewer than 50000 are left on the entire continent.21. What is the total population of tigers living in the wild?A. Around 3890.B. 50000.C. 124000.D. 413000.22. Which of the following is considered one of the most intelligent animals?A. Tigers.B. Giraffes.C. Ground squirrels.D. Asian elephants.23. What is the common threat to the four wild animals?A. Illegal hunting.B. Disturbed habitat.C. Developing tourism.D. Unnecessary construction.24. Which word can best describe the present situation for protecting wild animals?A. Satisfactory.B. Optimistic.C. Urgent.D. Stable.BToddler World Nursery was delighted to employ a trainee---twenty-two-old Jonathan Brown—as their first male nursery schoolteacher. He was also the only man who applied for the job, but, insists Margery Bowman, head teacher of Toddler World, by far the best applicant. “Both boys and girls will be nefit from the experience of having a male role model in the nursery.” Says mother of two, Margery.Jonathan has always been interested in childcare. His own mother is a childminder and his father is a teacher. “I’ve always helped Mum with looking after al l the children.” he says. “I’m used to changing nappies, feeding babies, reading stories and playing with Lego.”But Jonathan is a rare male in a female world. Only 2% of nursery teachers are men and this hasn’t changed for ten years. Roger Olsen of the Na tional Nursery Trust said, “Men are often viewed with anxiety and suspicion(怀疑)in a children’s environment. Or they are expected to do things the way women would do them. But men bring different things into childcare and this has to be recoginsed.” Jonathan agrees. He is a qualified under-7s football coach, and plants to introduce football lessons to the nursery for boys and girls.What do Jonathan’s friends think of his choice of career?“Actually, most of them are pretty cool about it now.” he says, “thou gh they do make jokes about nappies. And I’ve found that girls are actually quite impressed –so that’s good!”25. Why was Jonathan employed by Toddler World Nursery?A. He was the best among all the applicants.B. He was the only man who applied for the job.C. He would be able to teach kids to play football.D. He would do things the way women would do them.26. Which of the following can replace the underlined word “childminder” (Para.2)?A. Instructor.B. Superior.C. Baby-sitter.D. Coach.27. What did Roger Olsen say about the job of childcare?A. It has been women-specific.B. It requires people’s understanding.C. It takes time to make some changes.D. It needs men teachers to bring something different.CFinding your feet in a new town can be hard, especially if you’re covered in fur and don’t speak the language. But for pets new to Marlborough, help is at hand.Marlborough SPCA and the Railway Café, in Blenheim, have joined forces to help welcome pets and their people to the region with a fortnightly morning tea. They hope the morning teas will get tails and tongues wagging as well as giving advice on how to make the move smoother.Railway Café owner Leanne Harris came up with the innovative plan as a way to help welcome people to the area. Leanne moved to Marlborough from Auckland two years ago and said she initially struggled to find friends and feel part of the community. “Coming from Auckland I thought people would open their doors and that there would be neighbours calling round with cake. I expected people to come to me and, of course, it wasn’t like that. I did get lonely. “I hope to save newcomers having to wait as long as I did to feel part of it all. I would like to welcome them to the town.”Free platters of sandwiches, cakes and other goodies will be on offer, for the people, while there will be special handmade yoghurt and banana treats for the dogs. The morning teas will take place in the covered area at the back of the popular café beside the railway station off Grove Rd.Leanne said she was happy to devote both her time and effort into giving back to the community and felt the venture was a great fit with the SPCA.“V olunteering is such an amazing thing to do and it changed things for me completely, and I met some amazi ng people with similar interests.”SPCA Op Shop manager Karina Greenall, originally from the United Kingdom, said she also wanted to help. “I can give advice on how to resettle pets, the best parks to go to , where the best walks are and where the vet centers are in town.” There will be volunteering opportunities too for people where they can help out and hopefully make friends too.”28. How will Marlborough SPCA and the Railway Café help new pets?A. By offering morning teas.B. By giving advice to them.C. By communication with them.D. By providing accommodation to them.29. What was Leanne’s plan originally intended for?A. Saving animals.B. Helping newcomers.C. Making more friends.D. Expanding her business.30. What had Leanne expected when she first came to Marlborough?A. To be left alone.B. To struggle for a living.C. To be invited to dinner.D. To feel part of the community.31. What can be learnt about SPCA Op Shop manager Karina Greenall?A. She often misses the United Kingdom.B. She takes interest in the Railway Café.C. She is enthusiastic about resettling pets.D. She has organized the voluntary events.DIn 1917 Orville Wright predicted that "the aeroplane will help peace in many ways –in particular I think it will have a ten dency to make war impossible.” Earlier in 1904, American journalist John Walker declared, “As a peace machine, the value of the aeroplane to the world will be beyond computation.” This wasn’t the first grand promise of technology. In that same year Jules V erne announced, “The submarine(潜艇)may be the cause of bringing battle to a stoppage.”Alfred Nobel, sincerely believe his dynamite(火药) would be a war obstacle: “My dynamite will sooner lead to peace than a thousand world conventions(公约).” Similarly, when H iran Maxim, inventor of the machine gun, was asked in 1893, “Will this gun not make war more terrible?” he answered, “No, it will make war impossible.” Gugliemo Mareconi, inventor of the radio, told the world in 1912. “The coming of the wireless time will make war impossible, because it will make war ridiculous.” General James Harbord, chairman of the board of RCA in 1925, believed, “Radio will serve to make the concept of Peace on Earth, Good Will Toward Men a reality.”David Nye, a historian of technology, adds to the list of inventions imagined as abolishing war forever and leading to universal peace the hot-air balloon, poison gas, land mines and laser guns.It is not that all these inventions are without benefits—even benefits toward democracy. Rather, it’s the case that each new technology creates more problems than it solves. “Problems are the answers to solutions,” says Brian Arthur.Most of the new problems in the world are problems created by previous technology. These problems are nearly invisible to us. Every year 1.2 million people die in automobile accidents. The technological transportation system kills more people than cancer. Global warming, environmental poisons, nuclear terrorism, and species loss, are only a few of the many other serious problems troubling people.If we embrace(拥抱) technology we need to face its costs.32. What will new inventions do according to the first two paragraphs?A. They will increase wars.B. They will lead to peace.C. They will serve people.D. They will break conventions.33. What does the author list so many inventions?A. To show people’s creativity.B. To appreciate their benefits.C. To contradict the original ideas.D. To prove grand promises.35. What does the author hope to tell us about new technology through the text?A. It will experience many tests.B. It will bring about huge costs in the world.C. It provides answers to many problems.D. It presents more problems than it solves.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。

2020学年湖北省襄阳四中高三上学期7月周考英语试题
襄阳四中2017届高三七月第二周周考英语试题（7.21）第二部分阅读理解（共两节共40分）第一节（共15小题，每小题2分，满分30分ATwo recent studies have found that punishment is not the best way to influence behavior．One showed that adults are much more cooperative if they work in a system based on rewards. Researchers at Harvard University in the United States and the Stockholm School of Economics in Sweden did the study.They had about two hundred college students play a version of the game known as the Prisoner’ s Dilemma. The game is based on the tension between the interests of an individual and a group. The students played in groups of four. Each player could win points for the group, so they would all gain equally. But each player could also reward or punish each of the other three players. Harvard researcher David Rand says the most successful behavior proved to be cooperation. The groups that rewarded it the most earned about twice as much in the game as the groups that rewarded it the least. And the more a group punished itself, the lower its earnings. The study appeared last month in the journal Science.The other study involved children. It was presented last month in California at a conference on violence and abuse. Researchers used intelligence tests given to two groups. More than eight hundred children were aged two to four the first time they were tested. More than seven hundred children were aged five to nine. The two groups were retested four years later, and the study compared the results with the first test. Both groups contained children whose parents used physical punishment and children whose parents did not.The study says the IQs of the younger children who were not spanked were five points higher than those who were. In the older group, the difference was almost three points. The more they are spanked, the slower their mental development.21．According to the first study, we mainly infer that .A．the game is called Prisoner’s DilemmaB．the less a group punished itself, the lower its earningsC．adults are much more cooperative if rewardedD．the game is introduced in the journal Science22．Which of the following is TRUE according to the second study?A．Children's IQs have much to do with physical punishment．B．The study is about violence and cooperation of children．C．The children tested were divided into groups of four．D．Children's mental development only relies on their IQs．23．What does the underlined word "spanked" refer to?A．Punished．B．Blamed．C．Tested．D．Praised．24．What might be the best title for the text?A．The Best Way to Correct MisbehaviorB．Punishment Is the Best Way of EducationC．Cooperation Is the Most Successful BehaviorD．Punishment or Reward: Which Works Better on Behavior?BThere were three brothers. They each decided to find a precious treasure and meet a year later.One year later, the three brothers gathered again. They each boasted about the treasure they had.The oldest brother brought a telescope. "I found a telescope which can see far away."The second brother brought a flying carpet." I found a flying carpet that can be anywhere."The third brother said." I found an apple that cures all diseases."The brothers were amazed at the treasures they found. "Let's see what we can do with our treasures now." The brothers all nodded.The oldest brother looked through his telescope and saw a palace in the distance. A princess was lying in bed sick. The second opened his carpet and said. "Let's ride this carpet and go to the palace." The three brothers went to the palace on the flying carpet to save the sick princess.The three brothers met the king and told him why they had come. The king said. "If you cure the princess, I will let one of you marry the princess." The youngest brother gave the princess the apple he found.The princess had been sick for a long time, but with one bite of the apple, she was cured.The king hugged the princess with joy. "Okay, as promised, one of you can marry the princess." The brothers each wanted the other to marry the princess. No matter how pretty and princess was, the brothers thought their loyalty was more important.The king was moved and gave them gold and silver and high positions. The three brothers lived happily ever after.25．Which of the following phrases can take the place of the words underlined?A. figured outB. worked outC. showed offD. complained about26．Which the following sentence is true?A.

Sufferers have restricted, repetitive patterns of behavior. It affects about 1.6 million people in China, with medical studies suggesting autism may affect one in every 166 children.Autism has no cure. For many years it went largely undiagnosed in China but early intervention and continuous education may help to teach the autistic self-help skills and lessen their disruptive behavior.The gala featured autistic children singing, dancing and performing, and was greeted with enthusiastic applause from the audience.Cai Chunzhu, a celebrity playwright, recalled feeling heartbroken when his son was diagnosed with autism at the age of 2. He says his family struggled to accept the reality but finally made peace with the diagnoses in the past four years. He says the boy lives in his own world and is trained in an intervention facility. Sun Zhongkai, executive director of the Beijing Stars and Rain Institute for Autism, one of the earliest intervention facilities for autistic children in China, shared with audience his deep sorrow for parents who often collapsed with desperation when he told them there was no cure for their autistic children.Over the years, Chinese society has become more supportive of autistic people and their families, but there are still challenges in terms of getting autistic people employed and looking after them when their parents pass away.Actor Zhou Xun also called on society to show greater understanding and support toward autistic children and their families.32．Where did the gala take place?A. In a theater in Shanghai.B. In the Water Cube.C. In a Children’s Palace.D. In Nanjing.33．What does the underlined word “impairs” mean in the fourth paragraph?A. damages sth or makes sth worse.B. improve sth or become sth better.C. feel what they do the saddest.D. increase the interest of knowing sth34．What can we know from the seventh paragraph?A. Some parents were in deep sorrow when they heard their children can be cured.B. Cai Chunzhu is executive director of the Beijing Stars and Rain Institute for Autism.C. Sun Zhongkai recalled feeling heartbroken when his son was diagnosed with autism at the age of 2.D. Autism is a kind of disease that can not be cured.35．What is the attitude of our society and enthusiastic people?A. Some actors like Zhou Xun called on people to do nothing for autistic children.B. Chinese society and people have become more supportive of autistic people and their families.C. Some people want to give up helping autistic people because of many challenges they face.D. Autistic children won’t be looked after when their parents pass away.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。

D.D.C. Twilight Tour2.Which tour lasts longest?A.The Old Town Trolley TourB.African American History Touredy Walks WashingtonD.C. D.D.C. Twilight Tour3.Where will you read this text most likely?A.In a guidebook.B.In a magazine.C.In a newspaper.D.On the Internet.BWe asked four people who watched an online talk on technology and communication by Sherry Turkle for their opinions.Fred:The talk certainly gave me plenty of food for thought about how technology is changing our behaviour. People are constantly multitasking, whether it be emailing during meetings or texting in the checkout queue. It’s as if we can’t bear to miss out on what our online friends are up to, so we juggle the real and online world. My greatest concern is that we don’t give our brains a chance to switch off. It’sthese precious momentswhen we actually process information that helps us make important decisions.Jeremy:It was a fascinating talk and the speaker really hit the nail on the head with a couple of things. Take parental influence, for instance. How can we expect teenagers not to text while doing their homework when they witness their parents posting on social media while cooking the evening meal or waiting at a red light?Kath:So much of what the speaker said rang true. I honestly believe there’s a danger that the more connected we are, the more isolated we feel. I don’t think this is such an issue for my generation who’ve lived without technology for so long. We know how to be alone. But the under 20s are another kettle of fish. They’re so busy communicating that they never experience the feeling of solitude and run the risk of not learning how to enjoy their own company.Carl:I’m not sure to what extent I agree that people are more alone, but the way we communicate has certainly evolved. The speaker makes a good point about how we’re getting used to talking with machines like Siri or robots, which are totally lack of experience of human life. But despite such limitations, we seem to be expecting more from technology and less from each other.4. What does the underlined phrase “these precious moments” in paragraph 2 refer to?A. When our brains are free.B. When we emailing during meeting.C. When we texting in the checkout queue.D. When we juggle the real and online world.5. What suggestion may Jeremy give to the parents?A. Accompany their children when they are doing homework.B. Prevent their children using phone while doing homework.C. Set a good example for their children on using phone properly.D. Stop posting on social media in face of their children.6. What does Kath worry about the under 20s generation?A. They communicate more with others.B. They use more technology.C. It’s difficult for them to find companies.D. They don’t know how to be alone.7. What is Carl’s attitude towards the use of technology in communication?A. Favorable.B. Intolerant.C. Doubtful.D. Indifferent.CThe English language is changing, and you are responsible! Whether we consider changes in grammar, spelling, pronunciation, or the very vocabulary of the language, you have played your part and continue to do so.When we first learned basic grammar and spelling, perhaps in elementary school, we might have gotten the impression that these things were sacred. The rules that apply to such things might have been presented as unchanging and unchangeable. While this way might be helpful for teaching children, it is far from accurate.The English language, like many others, is a living, growing, ever-evolving thing. Like it or not, you are involved in this change. These changes take many forms. Grammar and spelling have changed greatly over the years and centuries, with the spelling differences in different countries today a reflection of this. While the language of a thousand years ago might be called English, most of us would hardly recognize it today as the same language.The first involves changes in the pronunciation of words. Many are familiar with the differences between the British and American ways of pronouncing certain words. In addition to these differences, the pronunciation of many words has changed over the years because of how you have decided to pronounce them. For example, consider the word "err." The traditional pronunciation of this word rhymes with the word "her." Older dictionaries show this to be the primary or only pronunciation. However, in recent years, more and more people have been pronouncing it so that it sounds like "air." Another change in the language involves the addition and removal of words. The makers of dictionaries decide which words deserve to be officially adopted as part of the English language. Through the centuries, many words have come from other languages. In fact, English has probably done this more than any other language in the world, which is why spelling and pronunciation rules for English have so many exceptions.Of course, many slang words have been just short-lived fashions that have died out quickly. Others, though, have been adopted by mainstream society and become respectable, as have many technical terms. So thenremember, the next time you repeat the newest expression to hit the street, or make up your own words, you may be contributing to the future of the English language.8. When we begin to learn English, we think _________.A. it is interesting to pick up a new languageB. English rules are wrongly presented in factC. grammar and spelling rules are unchangeableD. only adults have the ability to affect a language9. From paragraph 3 we can know that_________.A. we can change the English languageB. many languages are changing over yearsC. English has changed little in the past 1,000 yearsD. there were main changes in grammar and pronunciation10. Why is the pronunciation of words changing?A. people speak in different waysB. people have adopted foreign wordsC. it has been affected by American EnglishD. makers of dictionaries often change them11. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A. Foreign words involved in English.B. The British speaks differently from Americans.C. English language is changing over years.D. You can change the English language.DWatching what you eat can be easier said than done, but a recent study shows it might not just be about what's on your plate — it could be about how quickly it disappears.Japanese researchers followed 1,083 adultsfor five years, splitting them into three categories based on how quickly they ate: slow, normal, and fast. They also answered a questionnaire at the beginning of the study, sharing their diet, physical activity, and medical history. In the beginning, none of the volunteers had metabolic syndrome (新陈代谢综合征) - meaning at least three risk factors — which can lead to health problems like heart conditions and diabetes.When the participants reported back five years later 84 had been diagnosed (诊断) with metabolic syndrome — and their eating speed was a major predictor, according to the results in the journal Circulation. The fast eaters were 89 percent more likely to have metabolic syndrome than slow and normal eaters. Just 2.3 percent of slow eaters received the diagnosis, compared to 11.6 percent of fast eaters. But that's not all. Fast eaters also saw more weight gain, larger waistlines, and higher blood sugar levels than slow eaters.The researchers saygobblingmakes it easier not to take notice of fullness before your body has a chance to signalyou to stop. “So when people eat fast they are more likely to overeat,” said Takayuki Yamaji, MD, study author and cardiologist at Hiroshima University in Japan in a statement.Previous research backs up the weight benefits of slow eating, too. One study of New Zealand women found fast eaters have higher body-mass indexes (指数), and a Chinese study found that both healthy and fat men ate less when told to chew 40 times instead of 15 times before swallowing. Initial research even suggests chewing your food longer could bum more calories - up to about 1,000 extra every month.12. What are the participants divided by?A. Medical history.B. Health condition.C. Physical activity.D. Eating speed.13. Which may be the result of the study?A. Fast eaters are 4 times more likely to have metabolic syndrome.B. Normal and slow eaters don’t have metabolic illness.C. 89% of fast eaters have higher blood pressure.D. Slow caters are healthier than fast eaters.14. What does the underlined word “gobbling” in Paragraph 4 best mean?A. Tasting slowly.B. Digesting quickly.C. Eating greedily.D. Cooking carefully.15. What does the last paragraph tell us?A. The importance of eating speed.B. The advantage of eating slowly.C. The result of a Chinese study.D. Fast eating and overeating.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。

Money was tight, so there was no television set, but we owned a turntable on which my dad’s records played constantly. Mostly, it played Bob Dylan. Tracks from The Basement Tapes and Desire became an important part of our new life. My brother and I, aged 8 and 10, climbed trees, built hideaways and learned the words of Clothes Line Saga. We would chant over and over, lost in our own joy.It was January when my dad left us forever because of the cancer. He was 36 going on 37 then, the same age as Dylan. Afterwards, our laughter disappeared, but we kept on playing the records, which became our only ritual of remembrance. The two men became so intertwined in my head, I struggled to tell them apart.Dy lan was my dad’s gift to me. What child wouldn’t be fascinated by songs full of pirates and seasick sailors? How did it feel to have No direction home? Farewell, Angelina became my party-piece. I would sing this at church cheese and wines to the assembled audience. A lot of donations were made.Growing up, I remained a fan of the music, but I wasn’t obsessed with Dylan until one day in early 1995, my brother bought us both tickets to see him play at Brixton Academy. London felt like a long way to go. But finally seeing Dylan step out onto the stage brought a sudden rush of excitement.I have seen Dylan a couple of times since. My brother is not around so much these days. But he was up for a visit recently. We passed a happy evening laughing and drinking, while his son, aged nine, performed his party-piece Subterranean Homesick Blues for us. He sang it word-perfect. And so it goes on: Dylan’s music as a gift, passed down the generations.24. What’s the author’s purposed of writing the passage?A. To praise his late father.B. To tell about his family history.C. To express his longing for family reunion.D. To show his love for Bob Dylan.25. The underlined word “ritual〞in the second paragraph means“________〞.A. passionB. ceremonyC. memoryD. belief26. How did the author raise money in his childhood?A. By singing a Dylan’s song at church gatherings.B. By providing cheese and wines to church prayers.C. By playing a private in church performances.D. By accepting donations from the church.27. The recent visit of the author’s brother indicates that ________.A. his nephew was ever invited to play in Dylan’s concertB. his brother has never seen a live performance of DylanC. Dylan’s music has influenced three generations of hi s familyD. Subterranean Homesick Blues is always his favourite songCWork started this week on next season’s flu vaccine (疫苗(yìmiáo)), with experts working off forecasts about which types of the flu virus willbe making the rounds. But don’t expect any i mprovements. Flu experts are already admitting that most vaccines will give at best basic protection, because they’re based on old-fashioned technology. It’s not a new problem, but one that the slow-moving world of drug and vaccine production seems helpless to improve upon.Every flu vaccine is a cocktail, aimed at either three or four of the most common flu types. Flu vaccines must be reformulated every year, because flu viruses develop constantly in a process called antigenic drift. In February, global flu experts gather to trade notes on what viruses are circulating in different countries and to come to an agreement on which types the next vaccines should be formulated to target.In recent years, flu vaccines have been based on H1N1, H3N2 and either one or two types of influenza B virus. E ach of these has a “reference〞type, which is used to make seed virus. Producers inject the seed types into eggs and incubate (孵) them as the virus grows. Then they purify the virus, and either weaken it or kill it to make a vaccine.Using eggs is a tricky and unpredictable process. Sometimes the virus doesn’t grow well in eggs, which can mean less vaccine than expected. The result is a flu vaccine that doesn’t offer much protec ti on. “As long as we have eggs we are going to have this problem,〞 said Scott Hensley, a flu virus expert, “The only solution is no t to depend on eggs.〞Flu is a major killer. The 2021-2021 season has been a severe one, hitting the entire U.S. with widespread influenza infection (传染) at once for weeks on end, and killing 97 children so far. Against this threat, even a less satisfying flu vaccine will definitely help. “Even when you have these mismatches it will not prevent infection but likely prevent disease severity,〞 said Hensley.28. Why does next season flu vaccine fail to improve?A. It has offered the best protection.B. Experts can’t forecast the flu types.C. It is based on outdated technology.D. Experts are unwilling to respond to changes.29. According to Paragraph 2, what do flu experts do in February?A. Exchange views on the virus types next season.B. Get together and make a deal on vaccines.C. Sign an agreement on vaccine production.D. Decide on how to circulate the viruses.30. What might be the risk of using eggs to make vaccines?A. Seeds are less likely to get protection.B. Viruses might not be developed as expected.C. There are not enough eggs to be used.D. Whether vaccines will grow is hard to predict.31. What message does the underlined sentence convey?A. The U.S. is faced with serious flu attacks.B. Egg-based vaccines are better than nothing.C. There is something wrong with flu vaccines.D. Flu vaccines can stop the disease spreading.DIf you’re a book lover, you have a pile of books on your bedside, or a bookshelf in your library with a “to read〞sign on it. Yet you can’t stop yourself from adding to the pile. This can lead to feelings of guilt over your new purchases. But I’m here to tell you to stop worrying.What you have is an antilibrary, and it’s a very good thing. The term comes from writer Umberto Eco. He is the owner of a large personal library. He separates visitors into two groups: those who react with “Wow! What a library you have! How many of these books have you read?〞 and the others who get the point that a private library is not something to show off but a research tool. Read books are far less valuable than unread ones. Indeed, the more you know, the larger the rows of unread books. Let us call this collection an antilibrary.If you think you already know everything about a subject, you’re cutting yourself off from a stream of information at an artificial point. So a growing library of books you haven’t read means you’re consistently curious about the unknown.And that attitude is a great foundation for a lifelong love of learning.So don’t feel guilt over your unread books. Those books will be there for you when you do want them, and as you build your library of read and unread books, you can start using it as you would use a bigger library. Certain books may become references more than read-throughs. Or you may find that a book you bought five years ago has special relevance today. Letting the role of books evolve in your life is a healthy sign of curiosity. That’s good for you and good for the world around you.32. What does the underlined word “antilibrary〞 in Paragraph 2 refer to?A. Feelings of guilt over new books．B. A pile of books on the bookshelf．C. The collection of unread books．D. A large personal library．33. According to the author, more unread books mean________．A. your wrong lifelong learning attitudeB. you limit yourself from the unknownC. you have no interest in the new worldD. your strong desire about new information34. What’s the author’s attitude towards having an antilibrary?A. FavorableB. DoubtfulC. AmbiguousD. Contradictory35. What can we know from the last paragraph?A. Curiosity is a sign of high IQ．B. Books are the ladder in our life．C. Unread books are surely relevant to the present．D. We should read through every book．第二节〔一共(yīgòng)5 小题；每一小题2分，满分是10 分〕根据短文内容，从短文后的选项里面选出能填入空白处的最正确选项。
