2020届新高考英语新题型练习完形填空阅读理解七选五套餐练(1)完形填空(山东省临沂市2020年高三上学期期末考试)Three years ago,I participated in Model United Nations(MUN)held by the Education Department,which was a mock(模拟的)UN activity.During the two days,students are separated in different groups which 21 different countries to debate and try to solve problems.MUN has 22 awards:best delegates(代表),honorary mentions,and verbal mentions.Each time I participate in MUN,I made good 23 and undoubtedly got a few awards.But I often felt as if I’d 24 because I had never won the best delegate award.I 25 those who didn’t deserve to win the award but won it various times,and I was just filled with 26 at their success.But later I realized that it was also 27 not to get the award because I could actually 28 something,and that I shouldn’t 29 the best delegate award until I was the best delegate I could be.Failures are completely subjective—we can look at a result as a failure or a 30.Any failure can be regarded as a(n) 31 because you can always learn something from it and do 32 next time.This is supported by John Locke’s theory that we are born with blank views:knowledge and ability are learned from our 33.That’s true.If I make a mistake in the life practice,then I probably won’t 34 that next time.I believe this is 35 the best way to become better.21.A.strengthen B.condemn C.inspire D.represent 22.A.identical B.temporary C.various D.false 23.A.preparations B.predictions C.appointments D.explanations 24.A.accelerated B.failed C.exited D.succeeded 25.A.approached B.trained C.expected D.witnessed26.A.relief B.envy C.satisfaction D.delight 27.A.annoyed B.ashamed C.good D.terrible 28.A.desert B.1earn C.delete D.display29.A.win B.miss C.deliver D.value30.A.bond B.bet C.victory D.1oss31.A.aim B.benefit C.burden D.1imit32.A.funnier B.worse C.better D.slower33.A.decisions B.attitudes C.positions D.experiences 34.A.repeat B.admit C.accept D.notice 35.A.wrongly B.scarcely C.truly D.narrowly阅读理解(山东师大附中2017级第三次月考)AI was in the garden with Augie, my grandson, watching the bees. “How do they make honey?” Augie asked. “Actually, Augie, I don’t know,” I replied. “But, Grandma, you have your phone,” he said. For Augie, holding a smartphone almost means knowing everything.During my childhood I was crazy about books. Over time, reading hijacked my brain, as large areas once processing the real world adapted to processing the printed word. As far as I can tell, this early immersion (沉浸) didn’t prevent my development.Many parents worry that “screen time” will damage children’s development, but recent research suggests that most of the common fears about children and screens are unfounded. There is one exception: looking at screens before bed really disturbs sleep, in people of all ages. The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) used to recommend strict restrictions on screen exposure. Last year, the organization examined the relevant science more thoroughly and changed its recommendations. The new guidelines stress that what matters is what children watch and with whom.New tools have always led to panic guesses. The novel, the telephone, and the television were all declared to be the End of Civilization, particularly in the hands of the young. Part of the reason may be that adult brains require a lot of focus and effort to learn something new, while children’s brains are designed to master new environments naturally. New technologies always seem disturbing to the adults attempting to master them, while attractive to those children likeAugie.When Augie’s father got home, Augie rushed to meet him and said in excitement. “Daddy, Daddy, look,” he said, reaching for my phone. “Do you know how bees make honey? I’ll show you…”21. Which of the following can best replace the underlined word “hijacked” in Paragraph 2?A. occupied.B. damaged.C. improved.D. relaxed.22. What do the new guidelines of AAP focus on about “screen time”?A. The harm to children.B. The content and context.C. Children’s sleep.D. People’s fears.23. What might be the author’s attitude towards “screen time”?A. Opposed.B. Doubtful.C. Disappointed.D. Favorable.BToday companies have branches around the world. More than 11% of the US employers and employees work online either full-time or part-time, and that number is continuing growing. It is believed that it is a waste of time and money to fly around the world for face-to-face meetings. An effective solution to this problem is to use Web meetings.A large group of presentations, training classes and meetings are done online without losing the face-to-face experience. Web meetings are online meetings where an organizer invites attendees to listen to or watch an online presentation by presenters. Besides, Web meetings can be recorded for later use in presentations or training projects or downloaded for on-demand playback.Presenters can take real-time surveys to study how to hold a successful meeting. Some Web meeting software programs can monitor the users’ desktop behavior to see if they become distracted from the presentation and begin working on other documents. If so, the program can tell presenters when the listeners lose their attention, and how long the distraction lasts. In this way, the presenters will know which parts of their meetings need improving.Web meetings can work well because they’re hosted on a server (服务器). Images from the presenter’s desktop are taken, uploaded to a server and then downloaded by people who have accessto the server. Web meetings require a powerful server to deal with several images a second and “serve” them back to thousands of users at the same time.Companies have two choices when it comes to these servers. They can either buy a special Web meeting server to host their meetings on-site, or they can pay for a Web meeting service every time and let the off-site provider worry about hosting the meetings. The choice depends on how frequently the company holds Web meetings, the average number of people attending the meetings, and the quality of engineering and information technology.Web meetings are an excellent example of how technology is changing the way we do business. With all the technologies today, the traditional office might soon be a thing of the past.24.What is the disadvantage of the traditional meeting?A.It needs more people to organize it.B.It is expensive and time-consuming.C.It results in traffic accidents frequently.D.It fails to meet the demands of big companies.25.How do some Web meeting software programs help improve the meetings?A.By presenting successful documents.B.By recording the frequency of distraction.C.By tracking the listeners’ state of attention.D.By taking surveys about a successful meeting.26.What do you know about Web meetings according to the text?A.Web meetings are likely to be widely used.B.Web meetings help presenters stay focused.C.Web meetings determine the quality of engineering.D.Web meetings work well without the help of a server.CEvery year, thousands of teenagers participate in programs at their local art museums. But do any of them remember their time at museum events later in life? A new report suggests that the answer is yes – and finds that alumni (毕业生) of arts-based museum programs credit them with changing the course of their lives, even years after the fact.The Whitney Museum of American Art, the Walker Art Center and the Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles recently asked researchers to conduct a study to find out how effective their long-standing teen art programs really are. They involved over 300 former participants of four programs for teens that have been in existence since the 1990s. Alumni, whose current ages range from 18 to 36, were invited to find out how they viewed their participation years after the fact.Among the alumni surveyed, 75 percent of alumni rated the teen program experience as the most favorable impact on their own lives, beating family, school and their neighborhoods. Nearly 55 percent thought t hat it was one of the most important experiences they’d ever had, regardless of age. And two-thirds said that they were often in situations where their experience in museums affected their actions or thoughts.It turns out that participating in art programs also helps keep teens enthusiastic about arts even after they reach adulthood: 96 percent of participants had visited an art museum within the last two years, and 68 percent had visited an art museum five or more times within the last two years. Thirty-two percent of program alumni work in the arts as adults.Though the study is the first of its kind to explore the impact of teen-specific art programs in museums, it reflects other research on the important benefits of engaging with the arts. A decade of surveys by the National Endowment for the Arts found that childhood experience with the arts is significantly associated with their income and educational attainment as adults. Other studies have linked arts education to everything from lower drop-out rates to improvement in critical thinking skills.27. What does the underlined phrase “the fact” in Paragraph 1 refer to?A. Changing the course of children’s life.B. Participating in childhood art programs.C. Organizing arts-based museum programs.D. Remembering the time at museum events.28. What does Paragraph 2 mainly tell?A. The result of the study.B. The process of the study.C. The approach to the study.D. The object and content of the study.29. What can be inferred of the study mentioned in the text?A. Passion for arts may remain long in kids’ whole life.B. No other studies exist concerning the benefits of arts.C. Age matters in how people view their art experiences.D. Most children taking part in art programs will work in arts.30. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A. How is Art Connected to Our Life?B. Can Art Education Affect Our Income?C. What Should Art Museums do for Kids?D. Should Children Walk into Art Museums?七选五(山东师范大学附属中学2020届高三第三次月考)Words have the power to build us up or tear us down. It doesn’t matter if the words come from ourselves or someone else. The positive and negative effects are just as lasting.31 We’re usually too embarrassed to admit it, though. In fact, we really shouldn’t be because more and more experts believe talking to ourselves out loud is a healthy habit. This “self-talk” helps us motivate ourselves, remember things, solve problems, and calm ourselves down. Be aware, though, that as much as 77% of self-talk tends to be negative. 32Often, words come out of our mouths without us thinking about the effect they will have. But we should be aware that our words cause certain responses in others. For example, when returning an item to a store, we might use warm, friendly language during the exchange. And the clerk will probably respond in a similar manner. 33Words possess power because of their lasting effect. Many of us regret something we oncesaid. We remember unkind words said to us as well. Before speaking, we should always ask ourselves: 34 If what we want to say doesn’t pass this test, then it’s better left unsaid.Words possess power: both positive and negative. Those around us receive encouragement when we speak positively. We can offer hope, build self-esteem and motivate others to do their best. 35 Will we use our words to hurt or to heal? The choice is ours.A.Is it loving?B.How should I say it?C.We all talk to ourselves sometimes.D.Negative words destroy all those things.E.Generally people like positive and pleasant words.F.However, critical language may cause anger and defense.G.So we should only speak encouraging words to ourselves.参考答案完型填空21-25DCABD 26-30 BCBAC 31-35 BCDAC阅读理解21-25ABD BC 26-30 ABDAD七选五CGFAD。

Recent development has made possiblemachines that print, cook, and serve foods o n a mass scale. And the industryisn’t stopping there.Food productionWith a 3D printer, a cook canprint complicated chocolate sculptures and beautiful pieces for decoration on awedding cake. Not everybody can do that — it takes years of experience, buta printer makes it easy. A restaurant in Spain uses a Foodini to”re-create forms and pieces” of food that are “exactly thesame,” freeing cooks to complete other tasks. In another restaurant, allof the dishes and desserts it serves are 3D-printed, rather than farm to table.SustainabilityThe global population is expectedto grow to 9.6 billion by 2050, and some analysts estimate that food productionwill need to be raised by 50 percent to maintain current levels. Sustainabilityis becoming a necessity. 3D food printing could probably contribute to thesolution. Some experts believe printers could use hydrocolloids from plentiful renewables like algae and grass to replace the familiar ingredients. 3D printing can reduce fuel use and emissions. Grocery stores of the future might stock “food” that lasts years on end, freeing upshelf space and reducing transportation and storage requirements.NutritionFuture 3D food printers couldmake processed food healthier. Hod Lipson, a professor at Columbia University,said, “Food printing could allow consumers to print food with customizednutritional content, like vitamins. So instead of eating a piece of yesterday’sbread from the supermarket, you’d eat something baked just for you ondemand.”ChallengesDespite recent advancements in3D food printing, the industry has many challenges to overcome. Currently, mostingredients must be changed to a paste before a printer can use them,and the printing process is quite time-consuming, because ingredients interactwith each other in very complex ways. On top of that, most of the 3D foodprinters now are restricted to dry ingredients, because meat and milk productsmay easily go bad. Some experts are skeptical about 3D food printers, believingthey are better suited for fast food restaurants than homes and high-endrestaurants.(1)What benefit does 3D printing bring to food production?A . It helps cooks to create new dishes.B . It saves time and effort in cooking.C . It improves the cooking conditions.D . It contributes to restaurant decorations.(2)What can we learn about 3D food printing from Paragraphs 3?A . It solves food shortages easily.B . It quickens the transportation of food.C . It needs no space for the storage of food.D . It uses renewable materials as sources of food.(3)According to Paragraph 4, 3D-printed food ________.A . is more available to consumersB . can meet individual nutritionalneedsC . is more tasty than food in supermarketsD . can keep all the nutrition in raw materials(4)What is the main factor that prevents 3D food printing from spreading widely?A . The printing process is complicated.B . 3D food printers are too expensive.C . Food materials have to be dry.D . Some experts doubt 3D food printing.(5)What could be the best title of the passage?A . 3D Food Printing: Delicious New TechnologyB . A New Way to Improve 3D Food PrintingC . The Challenges for 3D Food ProductionD . 3D Food Printing: From Farm to Table19. 阅读理解Failure is probably the most exhaustingexperience a person ever has. There is nothing more tiring than not succeeding.We experience this tiredness intwo ways: as start-up fatigue and performance fatigue. In the former case, we keepputting off a task because it has either too boring or too difficult. And thelonger we delay it, the more tired we feel.Such start-up fatigue is veryreal, even if not actually physical, not something in our muscles and bones.The solution is obvious though perhaps not easy to apply: always handle themost difficult job first.Years ago, I was asked to write102 essays on the great ideas of some famous authors. Applying my own rule, Idetermined to write them in alphabetical, never letting myself leaveout a tough idea. And I always startedthe day’s work with the difficult taskof essay-writing. Experience proved that the rule works.Performance fatigue is moredifficult to handle. Though willing to get started, we cannot seem to do thejob right. Its difficulties appear so great that, however hard we work, we failagain and again. In such a situation, I work as hard as I can-then let theunconscious take over.When planning EncyclopaediaBritannica , I had to create a table of contents based on the topics of itsarticles. Nothing like this had ever been done before, and day after dat I keptcoming up with solutions, but none of them worked. My fatigue became almostunbearable.One day, mentally exhausted, Iwrote down all the reasons why this problem could not be solved. I tried toconvince myself that the trouble was with the problem itself, not with me.Relived, I sat back in an easy chair and fell asleep.An hour later, I woke upsuddenly with the solution clearly in mind. In the weeks that followed, thesolution which had come up in my unconscious mind provided correct at everystep. Though I worked as hard as before, I felt no fatigue. Success was now asexciting as failure had been depressing.Human beings, I believe musttry to succeed. Success, then, means never feeling tired.(1)People with start-up fatigue are most likely to .A . delay tasksB . work hardC . seek helpD . accept failure(2)What does the author recommend doing to prevent start-up fatigue?A . Writing essays in strict order.B . Building up physical strength.C .Leaving out the toughest ideas.D . Dealing with the hardest task first.(3)On what occasion does a person probably suffer from performance fatigue?A . Before starting a difficult task.B . When all the solutions fail.C . If the job is rather boring.D . After finding a way out.(4)According to the author, the unconscious mind may help us .A . ignore mental problemsB . get some nice sleepC . gain complete reliefD . find the right solution(5)What could be the best title for the passage?A . Success Is Built upon FailureB . How to Handle Performance FatigueC . Getting over Fatigue: A Way to SuccessD . Fatigue: An Early Sign of Health Problems20. 阅读理解A scientist working at her lab bench and asix-old baby playing with his food might seem to have little in common. Afterall, the scientist is engaged in serious research to uncover the very nature ofthe physical world, and the baby is, well, just playing…right? Perhaps,but some developmental psychologists have argued that this “play” is morelike a scientific invest igation than one might think.Take a closer look at the babyplaying at the table. Each time the bowl of rice is pushed over the table edge,it falls in the ground---and, in the process, it belongs out important evidenceabout how physical objects interact; bowls of rice do not flood in mid-sit, butrequire support to remain stable. It is likely that babies are not born knowingthe basic fact of the universe; nor are they everclearly taught it. Instead,babies may form an understanding of object support through repeated experimentsand then build on this knowledge to learn even more about how objects interact.Though their ranges and tools differ, the baby’s investigation and thescientist’s experiment appear to share the same aim, overall approach , and logic.Some psychologists suggest thatyoung children learn about more than just the physical world in this way---thatthey investigate human psychology and the rules of language using similarmeans. For example, it may only be through repeated experiments, evidence gathering,and finally overturning a theory, that a baby will come to accept the idea thatother people can have different views and desires from what he or she has, forexample, unlike the child, Mommy actually doesn’t like Dove chocolate.Viewing childhood developmentas a scientific investigation throws on how children learn, but it also offersan inspiring look at science and scientists. Why do young children andscientists seem to be so much alike? Psychologists have suggested that scienceas an effort ---the desire to explore, explain, and understand our world---issimply something that comes from our babyhood. Perhaps evolution provided humanbabies with curiosity and a natural drive to explain their worlds, and adultscientists simply make use of the same drive that served them as children. Thesame cognitive systems that make young children feel good about feel good aboutfiguring something out may have been adopted by adult scientists. As somepsychologists put it, “It is not that children are little scientis ts butthat scientists are big children.”(1)According to some developmental psychologists .A . a baby’s play is nothing more than a gameB . scientific research into babies; games is possibleC . the nature of babies’ play has been thoroughly investigatedD . a baby’s play is somehow similar to a scientist’s experiment (2)We learn from Paragraph 2 that .A . scientists and babies seem to observe the world differentlyB . scientists and babies often interact with each otherC . babies are born with the knowledge of object supportD . babies seem to collect evidence just as scientists do(3)Children may learn the rules of language by .A . exploring the physical worldB . investigating human psychologyC . repeating their own experimentsD . observing their parents’ behaviors (4)What is the main idea of the last paragraph?A .

青岛市2020年高三年级统一质量检测英语试题第一部分阅读(共两节, 满分50分)第一节(共15小题;每小题2. 5分,满分37. 5分)阅读下列短文, 从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中, 选出最佳选项。

AMovie theaters around the world have closed during the coronations outbreak. Fortunately, there's never been a better time to catch up on classic old movies. Below, read our picks for best travel movies:‘Thelma and Louise’ (1991)“Thelma and Louise,” is a tale of female friendship, and the screen is dominated by the film's two lead females. The pals from small-town Arkansas hit the road on a weekend quest in search of fun and freedom from their jobs and their boredom.Filmed in California and Utah, with the best Grand Canyon scenes filmed south of Dead Horse Point State Park, “Thelma and Louise”is a good option if you have never been out West or if you have and eager to return.‘Grand Budapest Hotel’ (2014)It's one of the most satisfying films of director Wes Anderson all works. Set in a luxury ski resort in the fictional East European Republic of Zubrowka in the 1930s, the plot is supported by a murder investigation filled with stolen art, prison escapes and a secret concierge (看门人) society.Though the hotel doesn't actually exist, much of the film was shot in the beautiful German town of Goerlitz, famed for its medieval streets.‘Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone’ (200)When Harry Potter runs through a column at King's Cross railway station in London to get to Platform 9 3/4, we know it isn't real. And yet we want to visit.The movie's locations are inspired by real places, as graduates of English private schools will tell you: rushing down narrow old streets to visit tea houses and sandwich shops, discovering books that are hundreds of years old.‘The Trip to Italy’ (2014)In this film, you're on an extraordinary road trip along with two old friends. The route is from Piedmont via Rome to Amalfi, back to Naples and finally the tony island of Capri. Retracing the footsteps of romantic poets Byron and Shelley, they drive a Mini Cooper through the breathtaking country and alongside stiff seaside cliffs.1. If you are interested in the scenery of American west, which film can you choose to watch?A. Thelma and Louise.B. Grand Budapest Hotel.C. Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone.D. The Trip to Italy.2. Which place mentioned in the films can't be found in real life?A. Goerlitz.B. Grand Budapest Hotel.C. Capri.D. Dead Horse Point State Park.3. Why does the author write this passage?A. To introduce some places to travel.B. To introduce the newly released films.C. To recommend some travel movies to watch.D. To show the attractive scenery mentioned in the films.1.【答案】A2.【答案】B3.【答案】CBIn life,once on a path,we tend to follow it,for better or worse. What's sad is that even if it's the latter,we often accept it anyway because we are so used to the way things are that wed don't even recognize that they could be different This is a phenomenon psychologist call functional fixedness.This classic experiment will give you an idea of how it works and a sense of whether you may have fallen into the same trap:People are given a box of tacks (大头钉) and some matches and asked to find a way to attach a candle to a wall so that it burns properly. Typically, the subjects try tacking the candle to the wall or lighting it to fix it with melted wax. The psychologists had, of course, arranged it so that neither of these obvious approaches would work. The tacks are too short, and the paraffin (石蜡) doesn't stick to the wall. So how can you complete the task? The successful technique is to use the tack box as a candle-holder. You empty it, tack it to the wall. and stand the candle inside it. To think of that, you have to look beyond the box's usual role as a receptacle just for tacks and re-imagine it serving an entirely new purpose. That is difficult because we all suffer to one degree or another from functional fixedness.The inability to think in new ways affects people in every corner of society. The political theorist Hannah Are ndt coined the phrase “frozen thoughts” to describe deeply held ideas that we no longer question but should. In Arendt's eyes, the self- content reliance on such accepted “truths” also made people blind to ideas that didn't fit their worldview, even when there was plenty of evidence for them.Frozen thinking has nothing to do with intelligence, she said, “It can be found in highly intelligent people.”4. What does the underlined word “it” in paragraph 2 refer to?A. The experiment.B. Functional fixedness.C. The path.D. The thinking.5. Which way is hard to think of to complete the task?A. Tacking the candle to the wall.B. Fixing the candle with melted wax.C. Using the tack box as a candle-holder.D. Lighting the candle to stand it.6. Which of the following statements will Hannah Arendt agree with?A. People should question.B. We should be used to the way things are.C. People shouldn't accept the idea that doesn't fit their worldview.D. The smarter people are,the more open to the new things they are.7. What's the passage mainly about?A. An interesting experimentB. A psychological phenomenon.C. A theory to be proved.D. The opinion of Hannah Arendt.4.【答案】B5.【答案】C6.【答案】A7.【答案】BCJapan's biggest airline is betting that the future of travel isn't traveling at all. For the last month, a married couple has been interacting with a robot—called an Avatar—that's controlled by their daughter hundreds of miles away. Made by ANA Holdings Inc., it looks like a vacuum cleaner with an iPad attached. But the screen displays the daughter's face as they chat, and its wheels let her move about the house as though she's really there.“Virtual travel” is nothing new,of course.Storytellers, travel writers and artists have b een stimulating the senses of armchair tourists for centuries. It's only in recent decades that frequent, safe travel has become available to the non- wealthy.Yet even as the world's middle classes climb out of the armchair and into economy-class seat, there are signs of a post-travel society emerging. Concerns about environmental sustainability cause loss to airlines which release much carbon. And the aging of abundant societies is both restricting physical travel and creating demand for alternative ways to experience the world. For the travel industry, virtual reality offers an attractive response to these trends.Of course, new technologies encourage far-out claims. ANA doesn't plan to start selling Avatars until next year. Profits, too, will probably be difficult to make: By one estimate, the global market for this kind of technology will be worth only about $300 million by 2023. By contrast, ANA's traditional travel business brought in more than $19billion last year.But if the business value for virtual vacations is still weak, the market for technologies that bridge physical distances between families and coworkers seems likely to only expand. ANA's robots may not replace its airplanes any time soon, but they ll almost certainly be a part of travel's high-tech future.8. Why does the author use the example of a couple interacting with a robot?A. To show the Japanese are crazy about travel.B. To indicate virtual travel begins to enter people's real life.C. To show the couple are very enthusiastic over robots.D. To express the close relationship between the couple and their daughter.9. Which of the following is the possible reason for virtual travel's appearance?A. Storytellers, travel writers and artists have been using it for centuries.B. Frequent and safe travel has become available to the ordinary people.C. People are worried about the air pollution caused by airlines.D. More and more people lose interest in travel.10. What can we learn about Avatars from the last two paragraphs?A. They will be put on the market soon.B. They will bring ANA a lot of money,C. They will replace ANA's airplanes soon.D. They are almost unavoidable in travel's future.11. What can be a suitable title for the text?A. Your Next Travel May Be VirtualB. Easy Travel in the FutureC. Virtual Travel BenefitsD. Air Travel Disappearing8. 【答案】B9. 【答案】C10.【答案】D11.【答案】ADRick Guidotti put aside his career as a fashioned Photographer to turn his lens (镜头) to people living with genetic, physical and behavioral differences.He says what changed his perception of beauty was a chance encounter with an albino (白化病) girl .“1 was just tired of people telling me who was beautiful. Every season that face would change but1 was always told whowas beautiful. As an artist, I don't see beauty just on covers of magazines. I see it everywhere. So that kind of was my initial kind of - that opened my eyes a little wider in the wider.”Guidotti has created Positive Exposure, a not-for-profit organization that uses photography and video to transform public perceptions and promote a world where differences are celebrated. Guidotti and Positive Exposure are featured in a new documentary called On Beauty.One of the women featured in the film is Jayne Waithera.“I never thought I was beautiful because nobody said that to me, but my meeting was my profound moment. I remember that particular day. He took my picture and I felt so good like I felt there s somebody who, really like, loves me and sees me for who I am and who sees me more than my condition.”Rick is traveling from city to city to promote On Beauty. He says his tour is not about money, it's about the message:“As I travel from community to community, I'm taking photographs and I'm empowering individuals with a positive sense of who they are. They're seeing beauty in their reflection but I'm also empowering their families and they in turn are empowering their communities as well. All is based on the philosophy of change - how you see, see how you change.”12. Why did Rick change his career?A. Because he couldn't earn enough money from his former career.B. Because the beauty on covers of magazines are not beautiful.C. Because he wanted to create his own company.D. Because his comprehension of beauty changed owing to an albino girl.13. What can we know about Positive Exposure?A. It brings a lot of money for Rick.B. It makes the public more beautiful.C. It welcomes differences in the world.D. It makes photography more popular.14.

It was unfair nobody discovered Jayne's beauty.D. Jayne's picture was more beautiful than herself.15. What does the author mainly intend to tell us in the last paragraph?A.

AFour things that you can't miss in Macao.Macao Tower AJ Hackett Bungee JumpThe Macao Tower, 338 meters tall, is the world's 10th highest tower, with a variety of activities, such as gambling, eating and entertainment. One of the acclaimed activities is the bungee jump. The AJ Hackett Macao Tower Bungee Jump is 233 meters high, making it the highest commercial bungee jump in the world. Raise your arms and off you go! If you are not daring enough to jump that height, you can try the skywalk on the 57th floor ---it's still remarkable.Grabbing a traditional Portuguese dinnerMacao was colonized by Portugal before 1999. As a result, Portuguese culture is deeply immersed into many comers of Macao. Many Portuguese settled and opened Portuguese restaurants in the special administrative region, but the flavor is more adaptable to Chinese people. Marking at the Ruins of St. PaulThe Ruins of St. Paul is the signature landmark of Macao. The ruins consist of the St.Paul'sCollege and the Church of St. Paul, built in 1583. However, after three intense fires in 1595, 1601 and 1835, the church was seriously damaged. It is beyond belief that after the vigorous cycles of rebuilding and fires, the huge surface and the front stairway remain unburned.Visiting a museumMacao, as a tiny city with only an area of 30.5 square kilometers, has 23 eye-catching museums. Due to its unique history, both Eastern and Western historical sites can be found. Many of them are preserved for cultural heritage, tourist spots or museums, such as the Grand Prix Museum, Maritime Museum and Wine Museum.1. Which activity will be popular with adventurous visitors?A. Going Bungee Jumping.B. Grabbing a traditional Portuguese dinner.C. Marking at the Ruins of St. Paul.D. Visiting a museum.2. What is incredible about the Ruins of St. Paul?A. It has a unique culture.B. It serves as a symbol of Macao.C. It partly stays undamaged after fierce fires.D. It is a combination of a college and a church.3. What do "'Grabbing a traditional Portuguese dinner" and "Visiting a museum" have in common?A. Taking a selfie in it.B. Finding historical sites.C. Enjoying a breathtaking experience.D. Feeling both eastern and western cultures.BI was seven when I first questioned my imagination. I remember watching the first Harry Potter film and my friend was complaining that the characters weren't how she imagined them to be. I couldn't understand what she meant because, in my mind, they had never been images at all, just concepts. When l shut my eyes, I see nothing. I have no visual imagination.I thought everyone's minds worked this way until about two years ago, when I came acrossatext about aphantasia, a condition where you lack a functioning mind's eye. I was 23, and it blew my mind to learn that others could visualize things. It was clear I had aphantasia, too, and a lot of things started to make more sense. For me, imagination had always been impossible. If someone asked me to close my eyes and picture myself by the sea, I would see nothing.I am currently studying for a PhD in biology at college. A good little test for me is drawing. I can copy things almost like for like if they are in front of me, but if I were to draw from my imagination it would look terrible. It doesn't mean you cannot be creative; you just have to adapt. Regardless of how many times I read a technique, it didn't make sense. But when I came to do it in the lab, I understood it immediately. If you have a visual imagination, you can look at a diagram and it triggers your memory; but I learn by repetition or physically doing something.I'd love to experience life with a mind's eye. I think it'd be cool and beneficial to imagine things so vividly. If you offered me a day with a visual imagination, I'd be excited. I think it'd be so brilliant that I wouldn't want to give it back.4. After watching the first Harry Potter film, the author _____ .A. misunderstood what her friend saidB. became a huge fan of the Harry Potter filmC. found it impossible to picture its characters in her mindD. complained its characters different from what she imagined5. How did the author know she had aphantasia?A. Her friend told her the fact.B. She read about aphantasia.C. She had a medical examination.D. Her life experience made it clear.6. What can we learn about the author?A. She lacks creativity.B. She always draws terribly.C. She learns by hands-on practice.D. She gets benefit from techniques.7. What is the author's attitude towards her disability?A. Uncertain.B. Uncaring.C. Upset.D. Positive.CFor years, the U.S. has experienced a shortage of registered nurses. The Bureau of Labor Statistics projects that while the number of nurses will increase by 19 percent by 2022, demand will grow faster than supply, and that there will be over one million unfilled nursing jobs by then.So what's the solution? Robots.Japan is ahead of the curve when it comes to this trend. Toyohashi University of Technology has developed Terapio, a robotic medical cart that can make hospital rounds, deliver medications and other items. It follows a specific individual, such as a doctor or nurse, who can use it to record and access patient data. This type of robot will likely be one of the first to be implemented in hospitals because ithas fairly minimal patient contact.A robot's appearance affects its ability to successfully interact with humans, which is why the RIKEN-TRI Collaboration Center for Human-Interactive Robot Research decided to develop a robotic nurse called Actroid F. It is so human-like that some patients may not know the difference. This conversational robot companion has cameras in its eyes, which allow it to track patients and use appropriate facial expressions and body language in its interactions. During a month-long hospital trial, researchers asked 70 patients how they felt being around the robot and "only three or four said they didn't like having it around."It's important to note that robotic nurses don't decide courses of treatment or make diagnoses, though robot doctors and surgeons may not be far off. Instead, they perform routine and laborious tasks, freeing nurses up to attend to patients with immediate needs. This is one industry where it seems the interaction of robots will lead to collaboration, not replacement.8. What does the author say about Japan?A. It ranks top in future robotics technology.B. It takes the lead in offering robotic nursing.C. It is in desperate need of registered nurses.D. It provides the best medication for the elderly.9. Which of the following best explains “implemented'' underlined in Paragraph 3?A. Cancelled.B. Constructed.C. Improved.D. Applied.10. What do we know about the robot Actroid F?A. It has no difference from a human nurse.B. It gets favorable remarks from all the patients.C. It interacts with patients like a human companion.D. It uses body language even more effectively than words.11. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A. Cooperation will not be replaced.B. Nurses will still play their roles.C. The robotics industry will be promising.D. Robots can meet patients' immediate needs.DWhy should most of us hate spiders when we know deeply how much good they do? Is it because they somehow seem so alien? After all, what other land creatures on earth have eight legs? What other creatures spin silk webs in which to catch and wrap their prey to preserve it for the future, much as we put food in the fridge to eat later? I do not personally suffer from arachnophobia, the name given to an abnormal fear of spiders, but I can't say that I like the little beasts. However, some peopledo, and they actually keep them as pets!There is a wide variety of spiders in the world. In fact it has been estimated that there are some 35,000 species——from little "money spiders" that live in your back garden, to the "black widow spider", and the “tarantula” ,the spider that is now sometimes kept as a pet.A tarantula can be any one of a large hairy spiders family and there are about 800 species of them. While experts can tell the difference between species at a glance, most are usually described in reference books as “rather slowly" with “a strong bite which may be poisonous”. They are covered with hairs which can cause a rash (皮疹)if they are handled.No one has calculated the number of human deaths caused by a bite from a tarantula perhaps because it has never happened, or happened so rarely, and indeed a tarantula will do no harm to anyone if handled correctly. Their disgusting image cannot belie their gentle nature but experts tell us not to handle a tarantula without expert advice.Tarantulas are popular as pets and it requires very little space to maintain them in excellent condition. They should be kept singly in a glass container, which need not be very large but should have a layer of stones in the bottom. They feed on insects, and while young tarantulas eat twice a week, adults will often eat no more than once every 10 days.You might like the idea of keeping a tarantula, but personally I am content with just watching them at a distance.12. According to the text, why do most people dislike spiders?A. They are abnormal beasts.B. They take food from fridges.C. They have unpleasant appearance.D. They make people suffer from arachnophobia.13. What do we know about the tarantula?A. It must be kept in groups.B. It feeds on poisonous insects.C. It doesn't belong to hairy spiders.D. It has mild nature if handled properly.14. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 4 refer to?A. The death caused by a tarantula.B. The number of human deaths.C. The bite from a tarantula.D. The rash caused by hairs.15. What's the best title for the text?A. Never judge a book by its cover.B. Nothing seek, nothing find.C. No sweet without sweat.D. Once bitten, twice shy.第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5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。

" I was shocked to see someone buy a full sandwich, eat half of it, and throw the other half out," said Simon. "It was not the values I grew up with. " To him, discarded food was a "natural goldmine” he could source to do good.Four years later, Simon cofounded Imperfect Produce, a subscription-basedhome-de livery service for discounted “ugly" fruits and vegetables that are perfectly good on the inside, but otherwise rejected from the food supply chain for their looks.“Up to 20% of the fruits and vegetables grown on farms in America are thrown away because the produce doesn't meet grocery stores" standards," said Simon. "It's often for discoloration, scarring on the surface caused by the fruit rubbing against a tree limb or an atypical shape,” he said. "Sometimes it's the size. " Simon, 29, and Chesler, 27, d ecided to source this "ugly" produce directly from farms and deliver it to customers for about 30% less than conventional grocery store prices. "The reason why we created Imperfect Produce as a direct-to-consumer business is because grocery stores didn't w ant to partner with us,” said Simon. “So we became our own store. " The San Francisco-based service launched in August 2015. Today, Imperfect Producehas more than 200,000 subscribers in 22 cities. The company sources its produce from 250 growers nationwide, and slightly more than half of it is organic.

The findings raise fears that some familiar species could go the way of the passenger pigeon, a species once so abundant that its extinction in the early 1900s seemed unthinkable.The results, ever done to North American birds, point to ecosystems in disorder because of habitat loss and other factors, researchers say. Yet ecologist Paul Ehrlich at Stanford University, California sees some hope in this new bad news: “ It might encourage needed actionin view of the public interest in our feathered friends. ”In past decades, Ehrlich and others have recorded the decline of particular bird groups, including migratory songbirds. All together, they studied 529 bird species, about three-quarters of all species in North America, accounting for more than 90% of the entire bird population. Rosenberg and his colleagues report Grassland birds have declined by 53% since 1970—a loss of 700 million adults in the 31 species studied. Habitat loss may be to blame.The familiar birds that flock by the thousands in suburbs were not exempt(例外). “There's a decline of the numbers of common birds,” Rosenberg says. His team determ ined that 19 common species have each lost more than 50 million birds since 1970. Twelve groups, including sparrows, warblers, finches, and blackbirds, were particularly hard hit. Even introduced species that have increased in North America, such as starlings and house sparrows, are losing ground.8.What is happening to North America's birds?A.Most of them are dying out. B.Some of them are decreasing. C.They are disappearing quickly. D.They are raising fears to humans. 9.What does Paul Ehrlich mean?A.The bad news will bring interest to the birds.B.The bad news might alarm people to take action.C.North America's birds need our help.D.North America's birds suffered great loss.10.What is the last paragraph mainly about?A.Some common birds are also decreasing.B.Some birds die from losing their habitat.C.The research team found some unusual things.D.The research team studied birds in North America.11.In which section of a website may this text appear?A.Environment. B.Health.C.Education. D.Science.Yellow is usually the color of happy, joyful emotions. But according to a new study, not all people associate sunshine with good atmosphere.To find out what factors might play a role, researchers tested a new hypothesis (假设):What if people's physical surroundings affect their feelings about certain colors? For instance, if someone lived in cold and rainy Finland, would they feel differently about the color yellow from someone who lived near the Sahara Desert? The researchers looked atcolor-emotion data from an ongoing international survey of 6,625 people in 55 countries. The survey asks participants to rate 12 colors on how closely they are associated with feelings including joy, pride, fear and shame.The team looked only at the data for yellow, and analyzed how different factors—including hours of sunshine, hours of daylight, and amount of rainfall—lined up with the emotions people reported for the color. The two best predictors of how people felt about yellow were the annual amount of rainfall, and how far they lived from the equator (⾚道),the teamreports this month in the Journal of Environmental Psychology,The farther someone lived from the equator, the more likely they were to appreciate some bright colors: In Egypt, the likelihood of yellow being associated with joy was just 5. 7% , whereas in rather cold Finland it was 87. 7% . In the United States, with its moderate climate and amber(黄褐⾊)waves of grain, people's yellow-joy association levels were between 60% and 70% .The team also checked whether associations changed with the season---whether, for example, people in a certain country liked yellow more in the winter than they did in the summer. The researchers found that opinions about color remained fairly constantyear-round—even when the weather changed, the data on yellow-joy associations were as good as gold.12.Who did the researchers survey to test the hypothesis?A.People in Finland.B.Travelers in the United States.C.Someone living near the Sahara Desert.D.Many people from different countries.13.What may affect the emotions associated with yellow most?A.Hours of sunshine. B.Hours of daylight.C.Amount of rainfall. D.Seasons in a year.14.Who are more likely to appreciate bright colors?A.People living in warm areas. B.People growing up in Egypt. C.People growing yellow grains. D.People living far from the equator.15.What is the text mainly about?A.Yellow is the color of happiness and joy.B.Researchers did a survey on the color yellow.C.A study shows the connection between emotion and yellow can vary.D.Different people have different emotions to the color yellow.⼆、完形填空My name is Matthew. 1 don't have many 16 because I'm a terrible liar.

2020届高考英语专项练习专题二:《阅读理解说明类专练》(含答案)

2020届高考英语专项练习专题二:《阅读理解说明类专练》(含答案)

2020届高三英语专项练习专题二:阅读理解说明类专练第I卷(选择题)(每题2分,共30分)一.阅读理解A(考点17较易)In the United States, it is important to be on time , or punctual , for an appointment , a class, a meeting, etc. However, this may not be true in all countries. An American professor discovered the difference while teaching a class in a Brazilian(巴西的) university. The two-hour class was scheduled to begin at 10 A.M. and end at 12. On the first day , when the professor arrived on time, no one was in the classroom. Many students came after 10:30 A.M. Two students came after 11 A.M. Although all the students greeted the professor as they arrived, few apologized(道歉)for their lateness.Were these students being rude? He decided to study the students’ behavior.The professor talked to American and Brazilian students about lateness in both an informal and a formal situation:at a lunch with a friend and in a university class, respectively.He gave them an example and asked them how they would react, If they had a lunch appointment with a friend,the average American student defined lateness as 19 minutes after the agreed time. On the other hand, the average Brazilian student felt the friend was late after 33 minutes.In an American university, students are expected to arrive at the appointed hour.In contrast, in Brazil,neither the teacher nor the students always arrive at the appointed hour.Classes not only begin at the scheduled time in the United States,but also end at the scheduled time.In the Brazilian class, only a few students left the class at 12:00;many remained past 12:30 to discuss the class and ask more questions.While arriving late may not be very important in Brazil , neither is staying late.1.The word‘punctual’ most probably means________.考点17 易A.leaving soon after classing earlyC.arriving a few minutes lateD.being on time2.Why did the professor study the Brazilian students’ behavior?考点17 易A.He felt puzzled at the students’ being late.B.He felt angry at the students' rudeness.C.He wanted to make the students come on time later.D.He wanted to collect data for one of his studies.3.It can be inferred from the professor’s study of lateness in the informal situation that __________.考点17 易A.American students will become impatient if their friend is five minutes lateB.neither Brazilian nor American students like being late in social gatheringsC.being late in one culture may not be considered so rude in another cultureD.Brazilian students will not come thirty-three minutes after the agreed time4.What is the main idea of this passage?考点17 易A.It is important to be on time for class in the United States.B.The importance of being on time differs among cultures.C.People learn the importance of time only from their own culture.D.Students being late for class should explain the reason to their teacher.B(考点17中难)Languages have been coming and going for thousands of years, but in recent times there has been less coming and a lot more going. When the world was still populated by hunter-gatherers, small, tightly knit (联系) groups developed their own patterns of speech independent of each other. Some language experts believe that 10,000 years ago, when the world had just five to ten million people, they spoke perhaps 12,000 languages between them.Soon afterwards, many of those people started settling down to become farmers, and their languages too became more settled and fewer in number. In recent centuries, trade, industrialisation, the development of the nation-state and the spread of universal compulsory education, especially globalisation and better communications in the past few decades, all have caused many languages to disappear, and dominant languages such as English, Spanish and Chinese are increasingly taking over.At present, the world has about 6,800 languages. The distribution of these languages is hugely uneven. The general rule is that mild zones have relatively few languages, often spoken by many people, while hot, wet zones have lots, often spoken by small numbers. Europe has only around 200 languages; the Americas about 1,000; Africa 2,400; and Asia and the Pacific perhaps 3,200, of which Papua New Guinea alone accounts for well over 800. The median number (中位数) of speakers is mere 6,000, which means that half the world's languages are spoken by fewer people than that.Already well over 400 of the total of 6,800 languages are close to extinction (消亡), with only a few elderly speakers left. Pick, at random, Busuu in Cameroon (eight remaining speakers), Chiapanecoin Mexico (150), Lipan Apache in the United States (two or three) or Wadjigu in Australia (one, witha question-mark): none of these seems to have much chance of survival.5.What can we infer about languages in hunter-gatherer times?考点17 易A.They developed very fast.B.They were large in number.C.They had similar patterns.D.They were closely connected.6.Which of the following best explains "dominant" underlined in paragraph 2?考点17 易plex.B.advanced.C.powerful.D.modern.7.What is the main idea of the text?A.New languages will be created.考点17 易B.People's lifestyles are reflected in languages.C.Human development results in fewer languages.D.Geography determines language evolution.C(考点17中难)Australia,the last continent,was discovered by ships belonging to some European nations in the seventeenth century, these nations were less interested in changing it into a colony(殖民地)than in exploring(勘探)it.As in the early history of the United States,it was the English who set up the settlements(新拓展地 ) in Australia.This history and the geography of these two British colonies have some other things in common as well.Australia and the United States are about the same in size,and their western lands are both not rich in soil.It was the eastern coast of Australia and America that the English first settled, and both colonies soon began to develop towards the west.However,this westward movement took place more because the English were searching for better land than because the population was increasing.Settlements of the western part of both countries developed quickly after gold was discovered in America in 1849and in Australia two years later.Although the development of these two countries has a lot in common,these are some striking differences as well.The United States gained its independence from England by revolution while Australia won its independence without having to go to war.Australia, unlike the United States,was firstly turnedinto a colony by English prisoners and its economic development was in wheat growing and sheep raising.By 1922,for example, Australia had fifteen times more sheep than it had people,or almost half as many sheep as the people there in the United States.Yet,in spite of these and other main differences, Australia and the United States have more in common with each other than either one has with most of the rest of the world.8.Who turned Australia into a colony?考点17 易A.BritainB.Several European countries.C.The United States of America.D.None of the above.9.In the early history of America and Australia,both colonies developed towards the west firstly for the reason that______考点17 易A.the population was increasing rapidly in the eastB.the English thought there might be richer land thereC.gold was discovered thereD.fewer people lived there10.In the early 1920s______考点17 易A.Australia had one fifteenth as many people as sheepB.there were more sheep in Australia than in the United StatesC.the population in Australia was greater than that of the United StatesD.the United States had twice as many sheep as people11.The last sentence in the last paragraph “Australia and the United States have more in common with each other than either one has with most考点17 中难A.the United States and Australia do not have any main differencesB.the United States and Australia have much more in common than they have with other countriesC.the United States and Australia have nothing in common with the rest of the worldD.in common with the rest of the world, the United States and Australia have a lot of differencesD(考点17易)Marco Polo was born in Italy in 1254. When he was 17 years old, he traveled across Europe and Asia with his father, who wanted to do trade with the Chinese. When they eventually arrived in Beijing, they were warmly welcomed by Kublai Khan, the Yuan Dynasty Emperor. Marco was very clever and could speak four languages. The Emperor was impressed by him and they became friends. He asked Marco to serve in his court and sent him to so many important tasks across the country.Marco Polo, in turn, was amazed by how beautiful and powerful China was. He was very impressed by Beijing and the Emperor’s Palace, especially the Summer Palace.There were many inventions and developments in China, which were not available in Europe at that time. Marco Polo was amazed to see Chinese people using paper money in markets. In Europe, people paid for goods with gold or silver. He was also confused by the black stones people used to burn for fuel, as he had never seen coal before!After 17 years of service to the Emperor, Marco Polo returned to Italy. Unluckily, a local war broke out, and he was caught and put into prison. He met another prisoner who enjoyed listening to his stories about China. The prisoner was an author and he took dictation while listening. Later he wrote the stories in a book called The Description of the World, one of the best sellers (畅销书) in Europe.12.Why did Marco Polo and his father travel to China?考点17 易A.To trade with Chinese.B.To draw a map of ChinaC.To write a book about China.D.To make friends with the Chinese.13.Marco Polo was amazed to see Chinese people paying for goods with ______.考点17 易A.goldB.silverC.paper moneyD.black stones14.Who wrote the book The Descriptions of the World?考点17 易A.Kublai KhanB.A prisonerC.Marco PoloD.Marco Polo’s father15.What do you know about Marco Polo from the passage?考点17 易A.He helped his father learn four languages.B.He taught Chinese people how to use coal.C.He became a prisoner in Beijing.D.He served the Emperor for 17 years.第II卷(非选择题)(每题1.5分,共60分)语法填空阅读下面短文,在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。

AFor some of us who long to travel, it can be difficult to find someone to journey with. Friends and family members are tied down in jobs, struggling to save money, and don't always want to go to the same places. The solution, of course, is to go it alone.Melbourne, AustraliaMelbourne is a hot-spot travel destination, which has beautiful beaches as well as busy and lively city life. Australia as a whole is considered a safe destination for international travel, and because of that, many solo (单独)travelers go there. Melbourne is incredibly easy to get around because you can walk or bike practically anywhere!ThailandThailand is great for solo travelers - perhaps because it is one of the Buddhist mentality, which promotes equality among the sexes. Thailand is known for its friendly hospitality, and as a travel hot-spot, there are plenty of chances to meet other like-minded travelers. Overall known for being very cheap, especially in the north, it's a good choice if you want to get away on a budget.BhutanBhutan is one of the most cultural countries in the world. It is also home to the world's highest unclimbed peak, Gangkhar Puensum. The mountain is sacred (神圣的)and entry is only possible on a pre-booked tour, where you are accompanied around by your own personal guide. Plastic bags have been banned in Bhutan since 1999 and in 2004, it became the first country in the world to outlaw tobacco.Costa RicaCosta Rica is a great place if you're looking for adventure, with surfing, volcanoes and other recreational activities. You’ll never get a chance to feel lonely because there's an abundance of exciting adventures to experience! Costa Rica has never seen political unrest; class struggles or revolutions commonly associated with other Latin American Countries. What's more, it doesn't have or need an army because it's such a peaceful country.1. Which place is suitable for travelers short of money?A. Melbourne, Australia.B. Thailand.C. Bhutan.D. Costa Rica.2. What can we learn about travelling in Bhutan?A. You can climb the mountain without booking ahead.B. You can prepare some plastic bags for your rubbish.C. You can experience the rich culture there.D. Smoking is allowed at the foot of the mountain.3. Where does this text probably come from?A. A historical document.B. A science magazine.C. A travel guide.D. A book review.BOfficer Michael Rivers, a policeman who was snapped (抓拍)and the image shared on Facebook, as he sat sharing his lunch with a homeless woman at the side of the road in North Carolina, in the USA, is praised.According to Chris Barnes, his wife Cassie took the photo while she was on her lunch break. She saw the pair sharing a pizza and soft drink while they were having a friendly chat. Mr Barnes uploaded the image with the notes: “Cassie was out on her lunch break and observed the officer enjoying lunch with a homeless person.",Officer Rivers recalled seeing the woman earlier that day. He told Yahoo news: "I was leaving the parking lot of Walmart and she was standing by the stop sign. Her shirt read, "Homeless the fastest way of becoming a nobody/ I hated that she felt that way." He added: “I always try to talk to the homelessjust to see how they got into their situation. You know, because it can happen to any one of us, at any given moment."After he drove away, he circled back to ask if the woman was hungry and if she wanted food. The officer said she was honored by his offer. He bought them both pizza and Mountain Dew and when the pair sat down to eat, he learned of her family struggles and told her: “Hey, you still got stuff to live for, you still got your life ahead of you. It's never too late."Officer Rivers, who does recruiting (招募新成员)for the Goldsboro PD, hopes to send a message of sympathy for others. He added: "When the younger or newer guys come in, I let them know, 'Hey, treating the community like human beings is the most important thing in the world'.""So, if we as police officers show that love and sympathy to everybody, no matter their age, financial background or race, the world would be a better place."4. Why did Chris Barnes share the photo on Facebook?A. Because it was taken by his wife.B. Because the officer was his friend.C. Because the officer was handsome.D. Because he was impressed by the officer's action.5. Why did the officer come back for the homeless woman?A. Because she asked him for food.B. Because her situation was serious.C. Because he wanted to make a difference to her.D. Because he wanted to become an internet celebrity.6. What does the officer want to pass on to his new colleagues?A. Anyone can become homeless at any given moment.B. Policemen should be sympathetic and caring.C. Policemen should become heroes.D. People should learn to draw others' attention.7. What does the text mainly talk about?A. A policeman seen sharing lunch with a homeless woman.B. How policemen help the homeless.C. A lucky homeless woman.D. How to become a good model for policemen.CThis may look like an ordinary plastic straw (吸管),but it is not made of plastic. Cameron Ross started the Celise Bio-products company, to produce single-use plastic alternatives from plant materials like these. They are made of poly lactic acid (聚乳酸)known as PLA from com starches (淀粉).Cameron Ross said, "We work with food service providers, mainly larger brands, to help them get quality sustainable and cost-effective solutions, made from plants to start getting rid of single-use plastics." Single-use plastics such as bottles or straws are major cause of pollution. When we throw these away, they end up in a landfill or in the water like rivers. According to researchers, it could take up to more than 500 years for them to properly break down.Ross says he wasn't always so environmentally conscious himself. But ever since the hiking trip in West Virginia, when he spent more time picking up trash than enjoying nature, his priorities changed. That meant making biodegradable products that can break down in only a few years.While many cafes and restaurants are choosing paper products to be more eco-conscious, it isn't cheap. Paper straws can cost about eight times more than plastic straws. But bio-plastic straws cost less than a penny a straw, not even double the price of plastic ones.Another problem with paper straws is that they get soft and wet. You don't want to be sipping (啜饮)something that alters your drink, or starts to melt while you're drinking and then you have to get another paper straw, which creates more wastes than needed. Ross hopes his Washington DC-based company will provide an eco-friendly solution for food service providers.8. Which aspect is NOT the focus of the Celise Bio-products?A. Material.B. Appearance.C. Quality.D. Cost9. What inspired Ross to start the Bio-products company?A. High profits.B. Requests from food service providers.C. Lower cost.D. His changed environmental awareness.10. What can we learn about the new straws?A. They are widely used in cafes and restaurants.B. They cost less than paper ones.C. They may soften or even melt while carrying water.D. They produce more waste.11. What's the author's purpose of writing the passage?A. To persuade more food service providers to work with Ross.B. To explain the development of straws.C. To introduce a new eco-friendly straw.D. To compare different straws.DPlaydoh-just one of the many waggy-tailed (摇尾巴的)residents at the Scottish SPCA's (Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals) rescue centre in Aberdeenshire - is being introduced to a new sensory garden, getting used to new surroundings.It is really a dog's playground - providing scent (气味)stimulation and exercise many of them haven't experienced before. So, we do rescue lots of sort of, abandoned, abused animals - and this garden will help to rehabilitate them. It's going to enrich their life and it's going to give them skills that will help them in the future. And hopefully it will give them a bit more confidence and help them to find their new homes - which is the main aim.In recent years - the North East (of Scotland) has become something of a hot spot for illegal animal activity. The puppies were born at the rescue center after their mother was taken into care following a recent raid (警方突然搜查)in Moray. Some puppy farm dogs have never been out of a doghouse - so they haven't been outside, they haven't even walked on grass.The sensory garden is somewhere safe that they can come and learn these skills. This garden is really going to help them with their confidence and help them to socialize.

AThe Breakfast ClubStarred by John Hughes,1985Five high school students with nothing in common are forced to spend an entire Saturday together in detention(拘留).At seven am.they had nothing to say,but by four pm,they had bared their souls to each other and became good friends—the Jock,the Brain,the Criminal,the Princess,and the Kook.They were finally able to talk about themselves while they were forced to stay together.Pretty in Pink.Starred by Howard Deutch,1986Pretty in Pink looks at the central dilemma of adolescence where one’s dreams are much larger than one’s confidence.Molly Ringwald plays Andie Walsh,a poor girl living with her father and working in a downtown record store.The school she attends is full of wealthy snobs(势利小人)and she likes a rich kid Blane.There is nothing new about the plot—rich boy and poor girl loveeach other and snobbery nearly destroys the romance.CluelessStarred by Amy Heckerling and Alicia Silverstone,1995Cher,played by Alicia Silverstone,is one of the most popular girls at Beverly Hills High School where rich kids hang out,talk to each other on cell phones and occasionally attend classes.At 15 going on 16,Cher has it all—a white Jeep,an extensive wardrobe with a computer to help select the perfect dress,and an unbelievable ability to charm,cajole and whine(哄骗和哭诉)until others obey her requests.The dialogue is wiry and entertaining.1.The Breakfast Club is about__________.A.a prince and a princess B.several criminalsC.several students D.some tourists2.we can conclude from Pretty in Pink that__________.A.the love between Molly and Blane aren’t going smoothlyB.Molly and Blane eventually get marriedC.Molly’s and Blane’a parents quite agree to their loveD.the love between Molly and Blane defeats snobbery3.Which of the following is starred by Howard Deutch?A.The Breakfast Club.B.Pretty in Pink.C.Clueless.D.Beverly Hill Schoo1.4.We can infer that the Breakfast Club,Pretty in Pink and Clueless are three_____.A.world-famous paintings about religionB.Disney’s cartoons about love storiesC.films about teenagersD.ancient Roman fairy talesBPeople back in the United States are always asking me,“What’s it like to live in China?”They hope to hear strange stories about weird food and cultural conflicts.Instead,I tell them that living in China is like being a baby.Please don’t misunderstand me.I don’t think that Chinese people are babies.I am ababy.Or at least,I become one when I leave my house.That’s because babies can’t read,and when I leave my house in Beijing,I'm illiterate(不识字的).This can be dangerous.If a sign says,“Watch out for big angry bears,”in Chinese,I will continue walking,completely ignorant of my peril(危险).Then a bear will eat me for breakfast.I have started to recognize a few characters,but they seem impossible to ever learn withouta lifetime of study.When I see a character I like.I give it a name.There is“The Square,”“The Octopus(章鱼),”“The-upside-down Octopus,”and my favorite,“Upside-down Octopus on an airplane.”However,I still don’t know their sounds or meanings.They are just beautiful mysteries to my eyes.Because I can’t read,city streets present an endless series of enigmas.If I see a business,I wonder,“Is that a restaurant? A dentist? A lawyer’s office?”Once,while hungry,I saw a big colorful sign.I walked in and asked a realtor(房屋中介)to see the drink menu.Speaking of menus,eating at restaurant is a daily misadventure.Many places have photos of food,which is helpful.But if they have no photos,I walk from table to table and point at whatever looks delicious.I apologize if I’ve ever interrupted your dinner to point at your plate.I didn’t mean to be rude.I was just a hungry baby !5.Why does the author think living in China is like being a baby?A.Some Chinese people behave like babies.B.It’s comfortable to be a baby in China.C.He is as curious as a baby about Chinese things.D.He is like a new-born who can’t read at a11.6.What do we know about the author?A.He can order food in simple Chinese.B.He doesn’t know many Chinese Characters.C.His spoken Chinese is better than his written Chinese.D.He memorizes Chinese words based on their sounds.7.In Paragraph5,what does the underlined word enigmas mean?A.Stories.B.Mirac1es.C.Choices. D.Puzzles.8.What is the passage mainly about?A.The author’s love for Chinese food.B.The language barrier the author meets in China.C.Cultural conflicts the author faces in China.D.How the author overcomes difficulties in learning Chinese.CMorgan Holmes had taken part in Boy Scouts of America activities for a few years,but she only became a full member recently.This was because the Boy Scouts began accepting girls from fifth grade to 12th grade into a new program called Scouts BSA.It brings girls the opportunities boys have,including becoming Eagle Scouts,the highest rank of the Boy Scouts.“I'm loving it,”Morgan,now 17,said.“I finally get to wear the uniform now.”Six middle school girls have joined Morgan in Troop48 in Scouts BSA.Some were members of Girls Scouts,and some have brothers in the Boy Scouts.Now brothers and sisters can take part in activities.Morgan knows Boy Scouts activities well.Starting when she was 14,Morgan went on high-adventure outings like hiking 1 00 miles and shooting guns.But she’d never been able to progress to become an Eagle Scout.Now Morgan’s goal is to reach the top rank of Eagle Scout.She regularly runs a mile to build up her body.Now,she’s planning on camping in the snow.“The journey to get there is really exciting,”she said.Since Boy Scout activities are led by the Scouts themselves,Morgan,as the oldest girl,will be organizing activities and teaching the girls to tie knots and other skills.One of those girls in Troop48 is Nicolette U1rich,who is also in the Girl Scouts.Her mother,Sasha Ulrich,said she sees,the Boy Scouts as more leadership oriented and the Girl Scouts as more culturally oriented.This will be shown by all upcoming gathering where girls will learn about different food and cultures from around the world.“Girl Scouts is a great group and she’11 continue to do that.”Sasha said.“But she also wanted the opportunities provided by the Boy Scouts.”9.What did Morgan want to do after becoming a full member of Boy Scouts?A.She wanted to join in the activities with her brother.B.She wanted to challenge herself to become,all Eagle Scout.C.She wanted to compete with boys in all activities.D.She wanted to hike long distances and shoot guns with boys.10.What is the best word to describe Morgan?A.Communicative B.Helpful C.Creative D.Adventurous 11.What does Sasha Ulrich think of Boy Scouts?A.It is more culturally oriented.B.It helps to build teamwork.C.It helps to improve leadership.D.It is more interesting than Girl Scouts.DOne step too farScientists have been trying to figure out how to alter the genes of humans for many years now,and it looks like they’ve finally cracked(破解)the code.But while this may seem like a great step forward in science,some also believe that it’s one step back when it comes to ethics.In August,a group of scientists from the US and South Korea worked together to successfully edit a human embryo and remove a genetic mutation(突变)that would have led to heart disease,reported The Guardian.This was achieved with the help of CRISPR,a gene-editing tool that allows scientists to“cut and paste”human DNA.Although this was the first example of an embryo’s genes being changed successfully,the benefits of gene editing have already been tested in living patients.In 2015,a five-month-old girl from the UK was saved after doctors used edited cells to fight off her cancer.As of today,she’s alive and well.And in the US last year,scientists managed to remove HIV cells from several patients by editing the genes inside their bodies.Some people hope that in the future,diseases or birth detects could simply be “edited out”.However,others believe this could lead to so-called designer babies,giving parents the option to choose everything from eye color to intelligence.“You could find wealthy parents buying the latest‘upgrades’for their children,leading to even greater inequality than we already live with,”Marcy Darnovsky,director of the San Francisco Center for Genetics,told BBC News.In spite of these ethical concerns,experts say it’s not possible to create the“perfect”human being.Despite the progress scientists have made,We don’t understand human genes enough to give all unborn child great brainpower or amazing singing abilities.“Right now,we know nothing about genetic enhancement,”Hank Greely,a director of sciences at Stanford University,US,told The New York Times.“We’re never going to be able to say,honestly,‘This embryo looks like it would score high on the two-part SAT.’”So it looks like if we want good exam results,or to impress people with our piano skills,we’11 have to stick with the old fashioned method of plain hard work—at least for now.12.The underlined word“alter”in Paragraph 1 probably means________.A.record B.change C.remove D.increase13.Why do some people consider human gene editing a step backwards?A.They don’t think it is an effective way to light diseases.B.They are concerned that it could lead to genetic mutations.C.They think it could lead to designer babies and increased inequality.D.They worry that it could make parents abandon children with birth defects.14.What was the first successful example of human embryo gene editing?A.A genetic mutation related to heart disease was removed by scientistsB.A newborn baby with cancer was saved by edited cells.C.HIV cells were removed from patients’bodies.D.Some birth defects were simply edited out.15.What can we conclude from the text?A.Gene editing is regarded as the perfect way to treat birth defects.B.There is still a long way to go to fully understand human genes.C.Gene editing could help enhance human intelligence in the near future.D.Scientists are pessimistic about the future of gene editing.第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5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。

AIs it possible to build muscle and meanwhile lose fat?Please allow us to bring the following two facts to your attention first.Fact 1:Losing fat requires a caloric deficit(亏损),which means consuming less calories than your body needs so that stored body fat is used for energy instead.Fact 2:Building muscle requires a caloric surplus(盈余),which means consuming more calories than your body needs so that new muscle tissue can be created.And it’s this realization that leads those of us who want to build figure and lose fat ideally at the exact same time to wonder just how we’re supposed to make it happen?The 4-week Online Workout Course professionally designed by Super Fitness will perfectly resolve the conflict,making it possible for you to both build muscle and lose fat.Targeted groups:●Male and female willing to be athletic.You’re promised to:●Simply follow us along and keep your ears open to the tips and suggestions we keep giving while working out.The videos are follow-along.We’11 also immediately reply to any doubts or questions.●Be able to lose two pounds of fat per week and get super fit.●Save a lot of time by taking on-line course.No gym means no traffic!●Save a ton of money with 25%off at the Year End Promotion.You’re only required to:●Eagerness for a perfect figure.●Willingness to tolerate some discomfort.Contact Super Fitness by clicking here!1.What’s the purpose of mentioning the conflict of building muscle and losing fat?A.To bring out the course.B.To clear confusion.C.To stress importance.D.To warn the danger.2.How many pounds of fat in all does the course promise to lose? A.2.B.4.C.6.D.8.3.Where is the text 1ikely to be taken from?A.A newspaper.B.A website.C.A fitness book.D.A biology magazine.BYesterday,I drove my 23-year-old daughter to the nearby counseling center,to attempt once again to complete the treatment.I did my best to encourage and give her inspiring support as she was feeling anxious of the whole process.While we were waiting,just minutes before the center opened their door,a young girl the same age as my daughter,came in.She had a beautiful smile I remember,and spoke of her desire to make a difference for others like my daughter from a11 she learned through her past drug abuse.I felt that she was sincere in her desire.It had been two weeks since her stopping the use of drugs.My daughter was standing next to me and focused on doing her best to stay calm on the outside,while inside she was feeling quite anxious,so she barely noticed what this girl was saying.Yet,she did manage to open up and talk with her a bit about the noisy ceiling fan in the hall where we were waiting.Next Friday,it will be a new opportunity for my daughter to try once again,as well as the possibility of being there for this young girl,too.I continue the example ot sell-love for my daughter,strengthening this skill,while encouraging my daughter’s positive changes.I noticed yesterday,my daughter called her friends,“I am a strong woman!”This made me smile,as a sudden gift to me from when I had been speaking to her enthusiastically about how we are strong women,trying our best,and we overcome and win through our life challenges.Let her know I believe in her.While she was focused on the physical,in that moment,I think she was likely feeling strength in all ways,too.I hope so.4.What was the problem with the author’s daughter?A.She was seriously i11.B.She lost bravery to face life.C.She had to receive an operation.D.She was suffering from drugs.5.What did the author’s daughter talk about with the young girl?A.The room facility.B.The anxiety of treatment.C.The crowded waiting hall.D.The noisy patients around.6.What do we know about the author’s daughter from the last paragraph?A.She made friends with the girl.B.She was cured completely.C.She regained confidence.D.She respected her mother.7.What may be the best title for the text?A.We’re Enough,Waiting For ChallengesB.We’re The World,Winning The FutureC.We’re Strong Women,Trying Our BestD.We’re On The Hard Way,Lacking Self-LoveCAll animals—from humans to birds,worms and crocodiles—sleep,however,not all species sleep alike.Scientists have long puzzled over which aspects are truly fundamental.Now a new study on lizards(蜥蜴)suggests that sleep states once thought to occur only in mammals and birds have much older evolutionary origins.Scientists had long doubted that birds and mammals are the only vertebrates(脊椎动物)to experience rapid eye movement(REM),a sleep state in which the body is mostly immobile but the brain is overworking.During REM sleep,the brain produces high-frequency waves of electrical activity and the eyes turn suddenly from time to time.In humans,REM is closely linked to dreaming.REM is a pattern of slow-wave sleep,a state in which brain activity weakens and the waves become more consistent.This slower state is widely thought to be important to memory formation and storage.“But scientists who looked for signs of REM and slow-wave sleep in reptiles(爬行动物) have had‘confusing’results,”says Gilles Laurent,a neuroscientist at the Max Planck Institute for Brain Research in Frankfurt,Germany.So he and his colleagues had planned to examine how the lizards—a common pet in Germany use visual information to chase treats.Using camera,the team found that the sleeping lizards’eyes twitched during the REM-like stage,just like other animals.They also found a very familiar pattern within the slower phase of the lizards’brain waves.Some scientists believe these waves help transform new information into memories by replaying past events quickly.Although more studies are still needed to determine whether the function of these brain wave patterns is the same across species,the results suggest that these REM and slow-wavesleep patterns could date all the way back to the common ancestor of reptiles,birds,and mammals.8.What does paragraph 2 mainly talk about?A.The origin of human dream.B.The definition and effect of REM.C.The features and course of memory.D.The advantages and disadvantages of REM.9.Which of the following can best replace the underlined word“twitched”in paragraph 3 ? A.opened wide B.moved quicklyC.stayed closed D.kept still10.How does the lizards’brain waves turn information into memories according to some scienfists?A.By increasing their frequency slowly.B.By changing their pattern occasionally.C.By playing back the past events quickly.D.By connecting visual information effectively.11.What can we infer from the 1ast paragraph?A.The function of the brain wave is the same.B.All the animals have the common ancestor.C.The sleep pattern of all the animals is the same.D.The study about sleep pattern has a long way to go.DA good way to look at failure straight in the face is by writing a failure resume(简历)or CV.Like social media,there,we usually only see our friends’“highlight part”.When we look at others’resumes,we get scared and think how ours doesn’t measure up.But even the most accomplished people have plenty of failure behind them—we just don’t see it.Stefan felt this deeply as a scientist,so she wrote a different CV which of course boasted (夸耀)about her good grades,PhD,and published papers.But the way she deals with her failure CV is a model of what we could a11 do.“My CV does not reflect my great academic efforts—it does not mention the exams I failed,my unsuccessful PhD or scholarship applications,or the papers never accepted for publication.During the interviews,I talk about the one project that worked,not about the many that failed,”writes Stefan in a column for .Stefan suggests keeping a draft on which you log,casually but regularly,every unsuccessful application,refused grant proposal and rejected paper.And that’s the point:not to consider what we got wrong,but to use that information toboth look at failure and realize it’s really okay,and also to use our failures for another purpose:as learning tools.The point is to be real—with ourselves and about how the world works.Being real means taking an honest,critical,but also kind look at what we didn’t get right,and then doing our best to change what we can.Instead of focusing on how that failure makes you feel,take the time to step back and analyze the practical,operational reasons that you failed.So,prctice being okay with failure,and turning your failures into lessons learned.And yes,sometimes we have to learn those lessons more than once,letting go of what you can’t change.And keep moving forward to success.12.What does the underlined word“it”in the first paragraph refer to?A.Plenty of failure.B.A failure resume.C.Highlight part.D.Social media.13.What did Stefan intend to tell us in paragraph 3?A.A11 her failures in her career.B.Benefits she got from her failures.C.The content of her own resume.D.The difference between her resume and others’.14.What does Stefan advise us to do in our careers?A.Regard failures as part of our life.B.Keep a record of our failures.C.Value our achievements.D.Long for failures.15.Which of the following best describes the author’s opinion?A.No pains,no gains.B.A11 roads lead to Rome.C.Where there is a will,there is a way.D.Failure is the mother of success.第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5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。

Today, Imperfect Produce has more than 200,000 subscribers in 22 cities. The company sources its produce from 250 growers nationwide, and slightly more than half of it is organic. To date, Simon said the service has helped recover 40 million pounds of food from going to waste.Simon declined to disclose income but said this year’s sales are expected to double last year’s. The business is not yet profitable, but he hopes to expand the service to 40 cities by the end of 2019 and eventually take the company public at some point.24.What does the underlined word “discarded” in Paragraph 1 refer to?A.

He thinks a lot about the wasted food.C. He has expanded his service to 40 cities.D. He expects to make profits from his business.CNorth America’s birds are disappearing from the skies at a rate that’s shocking even to ornithologists (鸟类学家).Since the 1970s, the continent has lost 3 billion birds, nearly 30% of the total, and even common birds such as sparrows and blackbirds are in decline, U. S. and Canadian researchers report this week online in Science. The findings raise fears that some familiar species could go the way of the passenger pigeon, a species once so abundant that its extinction in the early 1900s seemed unthinkable.The results, ever done to North American birds, point to ecosystems in disorder because of habitat loss and other factors, researchers say. Yet ecologist Paul Ehrlich at Stanford University, California sees some hope in this new bad news :“ It might encourage needed action in view of the public inter est in our feathered friends. ”In past decades, Ehrlich and others have recorded the decline of particular bird groups, including migratory songbirds. All together, they studied 529 bird species,about three-quarters of all species in North America, accounting for more than 90% of the entire bird population. Rosenberg and his colleagues report Grassland birds have declined by 53% since 1970—a loss of 700 million adults in the 31 species studied. Habitat loss may be to blame.The familiar birds that flock by the thousands in suburbs were not exempt(例外).“There’s a decline of the numbers of common birds,” Rosenberg says. His team determined that 19 common species have each lost more than 50 million birds since 1970. Twelve groups, including sparrows, warblers, finches, and blackbirds, were particularly hard hit. Even introduced species that have increased in North America,such as starlings and house sparrows, are losing ground.28.What is happening to North America’s birds?A. Most of them are dying out.B. They are disappearing quickly.C. Some of them are decreasing.D. They are raising fears to humans29.What does Paul Ehrlich mean?A. The bad news will bring interest to the birds.B. The bad news might alarm people to take action.C. North America’s birds need our help.D. North America’s birds suffered great loss.30.What is the last paragraph mainly about?A. Some common birds are also decreasing.B. Some birds die from losing their habitat.C. The research team found some unusual things.D. The research team studied birds in North America.31.In which section of a website may this text appear?A. Environment.B. Health.C. Education.D. Science.Yellow is usually the color of happy, joyful emotions. But according to a new study, not all people associate the sunshine shade with good atmosphere.To find out what factors might play a role, researchers tested a new hypothesis (假设):What if people’s physical surroundings affect their feelings about certain colors? For instance, if someone lived in cold and rainy Finland, would they feel differently about the color yellow from someone who lived near the Sahara Desert? The researchers looked at color-emotion data from an ongoing international survey of 6,625 people in 55 countries. The survey asks participants to rate 12 colors on how closely they are associated with feelings including joy, pride, fear and shame.The team looked only at the data for yellow, and analyzed how different factors—including hours of sunshine, hours of daylight, and amount ofrainfall—lined up with the emotions people reported for the color. The two best predictors of how people felt about yellow were the annual amount of rainfall ,and how far they lived from the equator (赤道),the team reports this month in the Journal of Environmental Psychology.The farther someone lived from the equator, the more likely they were to appreciate some bright colors: In Egypt, the likelihood of yellow being associated with joy was just 5.7% , whereas in rather cold Finland it was 87. 7%.In the United States, with its moderate climate and amber(黄褐色)waves of grain, people’s yellow-joy association levels were between 60% and 70% .The team also checked whether associations changed with the season—whether ,for example, people in a certain country liked yellow more in the winter than they did in the summer. The researchers found that opinions about color remained fairly constant year-round—even when the weather changed, the data on yellow-joy associations were as good as gold.32.Who did the researchers survey to test the hypothesis?A. People in Finland.B. Someone living near the Sahara Desert.C. Travelers in the United States.D. Many people from different countries33.What may affect the emotions associated with yellow most?A. Hours of sunshine. C. Amount of rainfall.B. Hours of daylight. D. Seasons in a year34. 34.Who are more likely to appreciate bright colors?A. People living in warm areas.B. People growing yellow grains.C. People growing up in Egypt.D. People living far from the equator35.What is the text mainly about?A. Yellow is the color of happiness and joy.B. Researchers did a survey on the color yellow.C. A study shows the connection between emotion and yellow can vary.D. Different people have different emotions to the color yellow.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。
