Since March 2012, I’ve done 89 trips —of those, 51 have been abroad, I have 42 hours to carry stem cells（干细胞）in my little box because I’ve got two ice packs and that’s how long they last. In all, from the time the stem cells are harvested from a donor to the time they can be implanted in the patient, we’ve got 72 hours at most. So I am always conscious of time.I had one trip last year where I was caught by a hurricane in America. I picked up the stem cells in Providence, Rhode Island, and was meant to fly to Washington then back to London. But when I arrived at the check-in desk at Providence, the lady on the desk said: “W ell, I’m really sorry, I’ve got some bad news for you —there are no flights from Washington.” So I took my box and put it on the desk and I said: “In this box are some stem cells that are urgently needed for a patient —please, please, you’ve got to get me back to the United Kingdom.” She just dropped everything. She arranged for a flight on a small plane to be held for me, re-routed（改道）me through Newark and got me back to the UK even earlier than originally scheduled.For this courier job, you’re consciously aware that in that box you’ve got something that is potentially going to save somebody’s life.1．Which of the following can replace the un derlined word “courier” in Paragraph 1? ________A．providerB．collectorC．delivery manD．medical doctor2．Why does Peter have to complete his trip within 42 hours? ________A．The ice won’t last any longer.B．The donor can only wait for that long.C．The operation needs that much time.D．He cannot stay away from his job too long.3．Which fight did the woman put Peter on first? ________A．To Newark.B．To London.C．To Providence.D．To Washington.BA survey has shown that what you do on a plane can be determined by which nationality is listed on your passport.According to the results of an international passenger survey, Australians are the biggest drinkers on board with 36 percent choosing to down the hatch, compared to 35 percent of Americans and 33 percent of Brits.The Airline Passenger Experience Association（APEX）spoke to around 1 500 people, aged 18 and older, who have travelled by plane at least once during the last three months and were living in the United States, United Kingdom, Germany, Japan, China, Singapore, Australia and Brazil.The results found Chinese travelers are most likely to nod off once the seat-belt sign switches off. They are also the first to take out their credit card for some in-flight shopping and the biggest fans of gaming. Americans on the other hand like to use their time in the air more productively—when not drinking—choosing to work while flying at 35 000 feet.Meanwhile, Brits and Germans are the best at making chat with random strangers—spending 50 percent more time than any other nationality. Comparatively, Brazilians conduct their conversations online via email, messaging apps or social media.Despite plane food having a bad reputation, seven out of ten interviewees said they were happy to eat up on the selection of in-flight snacks and meals. In-flight magazines were also popular with four out of five passengers.The international flyers did however express their desire for better in-flight entertainment. “The industry has greatly improved the comfort, entertainment and onboard service, and passengers are accepting those improvements”said Russell Lemieux, APEX executive director. “At the same time,passengers are demanding more from their air travel experiences which will drive more improvements touching all aspects of the journey.” he added.4．What can you probably see in the flight according to the passage? ________A．Brazilians choose to drink.B．Americans do in-flight shopping.C．Germans chat to kill the time.D．The Chinese switch off the seat-belt sign.5．When on board the plane, ________.A．passengers from one nation have little in commonB．most passengers like to read in-flight magazinesC．more than half of the passengers don’t enjoy plane foodD．most people tend to use in-flight time to have a good sleep6．What can we learn from the last paragraph? ________A．Flyers care little about entertainment.B．Flyers are not satisfied with the improvements.C．Flyers are expecting better flight experiences.D．Flyers have more and more demands from airlines.7．What’s the pu rpose of the passage? ________A．To entertain readers with interesting stories.B．To encourage people to behave well in public.C．To criticize impolite behaviors on the plane.D．To inform readers of the results of a survey.CNeed for closure is a psycholo gical term that describes a person’s desire for a firm answer to a question. Our need for closure is our natural preference for definite answers over confusion and uncertainty. Every person has their own baseline level of need for closure. It likely evolved via natural selection.What I find really fascinating is how our need for closure is affected by the situation we’re in. Our need for closure rises when we have to act rather than just observe, and it matters much more when we’re rushed, or bored, or tired. Any stress can make our discomfort with uncertainty increase, and a high need for closure negatively influences some of our most important decisions: who we decide to trust, whether we admit we’re wrong and even how creative we are.In hiring, for instance, a high need for closure leads people to put far too much weight on their first impression. It’s called the Urgency Effect. In one experiment, psychologists tried to l ower people’s need for closure by telling them, right before participants are about to make various judgments of a job candidate, that they’ll be responsible in some way for them, or that their judgments have serious consequences.In making any big decision, it’s not enough just to know that we should take our time.We all know that impor tant decisions shouldn’t be rushed. The problem is that we don’t keep that advice in mind when it matters. So, one of the best solutions is to formalize the reminders. Before making important decisions, write down not just advantages and disadvantages but what the consequences could be. Also, think about how much pressure you’re under. If your need for closure is particularly high that day, it’s even more important to think twice.8．How does “need for closure” probably come into being? ________A．By accident.B．By nature.C．By acquiring.D．By imitating.9．It can be inferred that a high need for closure ________.A．brings about more stressB．leads to not so good decisionsC．causes discomfort and uncertaintyD．promotes one’s creativity10．In the experiment the psychologists reduced participants’ need for closure by telling them to ________.A．value their first impressionB．be responsible for their bossC．be cautious about their judgmentsD．pay little attention to the consequences11．What would the author probably discuss in the paragraph that follows? ________A．More helpful solutions to high need for closure.B．Some serious consequences of making decisions.C．Other approaches to making important decisions.D．Another strategy to escape the pressures of modern life.DBad news sells. If it bleeds, it leads. No news is good news, and good news is no news. Those are the classic rules for the evening broadcasts and the morning papers. But now that information is being spread and monitored in different ways, researchers are discovering new rules. By tracking people’s e-mails and online posts, scientists have found that good news can spread faster and farther than disasters and sob stories.“The ‘if it bleeds’ rule works for mass media,” says Jonah Berger, a scholar at the University of Pennsylvania. “They want your eyeballs and don’t care how you’re feeling. But when you share a story with your friends, you care a lot more how they react. You don’t want them to think of you as a Debbie Downer.”Researchers analyzing word-of-mouth communication—e-mails, Web posts and reviews, face-to-face conversations—found that it tended to be more positive than negative, but that didn’t necessarily mean people preferred positive news. Was positive news shared more often simply because people experienced more good things than bad things? To test for that possibility, Dr. Berger looked at how people spread a particular set of news stories: thousands of articles on The New York Times’ website. He and a Penn colleague analyzed the “most e-mailed” list for six months. One of his first findings was that articles in the science section were much more likely to make the list than non-science articles. He found that science amazed Times’ readers and made them want to share this positive feeling with others.Readers also tended to share articles that were exciting or funny, or that inspired negative feelings like anger or anxiety, but not articles that left them merely sad. They needed to be aroused（激发）one way or the other, and they preferred good news to bad. The more positive an article, the more likely it was to be shared, as Dr. Berger explains in his new book, “Contagious: Why Things Catch On.”12．What do the classic rules mentioned in the text apply to? ________A．Private e-mails.B．Research papers.C．News reports.D．Daily conversations.13．What can we infer about people like Debbie Downer? ________A．They’re socially inactive.B．They’re good at telling stories.C．They’re careful with their words.D．They’re inconsiderate of others.14．Which tended to be the most e-mailed according to Dr. Berger’s research? ________A．Science articles.B．Sports news.C．Personal accounts.D．Financial reviews.15．What can be a suitable title for the text? ________A．Sad Stories Travel Far and WideB．Online News Attracts More PeopleC．Reading Habits Change with the TimesD．Good News Beats Bad on Social Networks第二节短文选句（共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分）根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项,选项中有两项为多余选项.A garde n that’s just right for youHave you ever visited a garden that seemed just right for you, where the atmosphere of the garden appeared to total more than the sum of its parts? 16 . But it doesn’t happen by accident. It starts with looking inside yourself and understanding who you are with respect to the natural world and how you approach the gardening process.●17Some people may think that a garden is no more than plants, flowers, patterns and masses of color. Others are concerned about using gardening methods that require less water and fewer fertilizers.18 . However, there are a number of other reasons that might explain why you want to garden. One of them comes from our earliest years.●Recall your childhood memoriesOur model of what a garden should be often goes back to childhood.

第I卷阅读题甲必考题一、现代文阅读（9分，每小题3分）阅读下面的文字，完成1---3题。
研究的生平事迹，以推断作品中的意向，将诗人的仕宦出处、爱情生活、师友渊源乃至异闻轶事，都列为作品意义与价值的可靠指引，这种鉴赏，是传统方法中常用的，像《唐诗纪事》、《宋诗纪事》及许多诗话，无不如此。
后来写文学史、诗史的，也都是采用这种历史的鉴赏法，着重于诗歌本身以外的材料。
谈到诗歌的本身，便只用些抽象的辞汇来形容，像讨论到高适的诗，不是渲染他年五十始学，为诗即工的神话，就是详述在旗亭看妙妓唱诗的趣事。
对作品本身的鉴赏，最多说它风格雄放，能将它与岑参的诗作一比较，说什么相异处是高适诗尚质主理，岑参诗尚巧主景，相同处是皆以悲壮为宗，稍稍涉及作品的本身，已经算是说得很透彻了。
传统的诗歌鉴赏滞留在这个圈缋中打，历时甚久，许多说诗的资料，重复引用，愈积愈多，至清末的夏敬观作《唐诗说》，总结前人所说而集其大成，可以举为这一派鉴赏法的代表。
就缺点而言，这样的鉴赏往往将作品内在的结构忽略，我们不否认研究的历史，是与作品的鉴赏有着密切的相关性，但的生平历史往往只数十百言，即使加以编年纪事，一年所纪仍有限，要想了解每首作品仍有其困难，而即使了解诗作的本末，与了解诗作的艺术成就依然是两回事。
若作品的本身被忽略，则鉴赏家退居为史评家，诗的鉴赏就会全部落空。
所以考明了的生平事迹，还应据以深究作品的艺术结构。
譬如鉴赏杜甫的《宿府》诗，据生平历史，知道此诗作于五十三岁，杜甫入严武幕府，做了工部员外郎，赐给绯鱼袋，就杜工部的宦途而言，乃是飘泊一生中最有依靠的岁月。
全诗是：清秋幕府井梧寒，独宿江城蜡炬残。
永夜角声悲自语，中天月色好谁看?风尘荏苒音书绝，关塞萧条行路难。

AA small boy sat on the street with a hat by his feet. He held up a sign which said: “ I am blind, please help”. There were only a few coins in the hat.A man was walking by. He took a few coins from his pocket and dropped them into the hat. He then took the sign, turned it around, and wrote some words. He put the sign back so that everyone who walked by would see the new words. Soon the hat began to fill up. A lot more people were giving money to the blind boy. That afternoon the man who had changed the sign came to see how things were.The boy recognized his footsteps and asked :“Were you the one who changed my sign this morning? What did you write?”The man said: “I only wrote the truth. I said what you said but in a different way.”What he had written was: “Today is a beautiful day but I cannot see it.”Do you think the first sign and the second sign were saying the same thing? Of course both signs told people the boy was blind. But the first sign simply told people to help by putting some money in the hat. The second sign told people that they were able to enjoy the day, but the boy could not enjoy it because he was blind.The first sign simply said the boy was blind. The second sign told people they were so lucky that they were not blind.There are at least two lessons we can learn from this simple story.The first is: Be thankful for what you have. Someone else has less. Help where you can.The second is：Be creative. Think differently. There is always a better way!1. What was the boy doing on the street?A. He was selling his old hat.B. He was busy counting coins.C. He was begging for money.D. He was showing his handwriting.2. How did the man help the blind boy?A. He took the boy's sign away.B. He only gave the boy some money.C. He changed the words on the sign.D. He asked others to help the blind boy.3. The blind boy recognized the kind man by his ______ .A. wordsB. smellC. voiceD. footstepsBIt’s hard to find Alice Munro in the media. Even after she won the 2013 Nobel Prize in Lit erature, the Canadian writer just appeared for a quick interview and then dropped out of sight. On Dec 29, she still didn't seek the spotlight（聚光灯）when she was named one of the five Women of the Year by the Financial Times.In Munro's eyes, ordinary lives always hide larger dramas. So she records what we casually think of as the everyday actions of normal people. She often focuses on life in her hometown, a small village in Ontario which she is most familiar with. She writes about the ordinary things in the village－fox forming, trees filled in the Ontario wilderness, poor country alcohol and long last illnesses. Above all, she talks about girls and women who have seemingly ordinary lives but struggle against daily misfortune.She has a special talent for uncovering the extraordinary in the ordinary. These are ordinary people, ordinary stories, but she has the magic. Her precise language, depth of detail and the logic of her storytelling have made her stories inviting.Runaway,one of Munro’s rep resentative works, is a good example of her writing style. One of the stories centers on the life of an ordinary woman Carla, who lives in a small Canadian town with her husband Clark. The story slowly forms a picture of Carla, trapped in a bad marriage, her unhappiness building into desperation until she decided to flee. The story of Carla is a story of the power and betrayals of love. It is about lost children and lots of chances that we can all find in life, There is pain beneath the surface, like a needle in the heart.Since she published her first collection of short stories in 1968, Munro has won many awards, with the Nobel Prize being her biggest honor. On Oct 10, 2013, the Nobel Prize committee named Munro the “master of the contemporary short story”.4. We learn from Paragraph 1 that Alice Munro_____A．didn't get on well with the media B．remained modest though very successful C．didn’t value the title of Women of the Year D. was surprised at winning the Nobel Prize5. What makes Alic e Munro’s stories fascinating according to the text?A．Her writing techniques B．The complicated plotsC．The humorous language D．Her rich imagination6. In her representative work Runaway, Carla_____A．leads a happy life with Clark B．is a faithful wife to her husbandC．loses all hopes for a better life D．tries to run away from her husband7. What is the text mainly about?A．Alice Munro and her hometown B．The awards Alice Munro wonC．Alice Munro and her writing style D．Alice Munro’s literary lifeCThe rise of the Internet has been one of the most transformative developments in human history, comparable in impact to the invention of the printing press and the telegraph. Over two billion people worldwide now have access to vastly more information than ever before, and can communicate with each other instantly, often using Web-connected mobile devices they carry everywhere. But the Internet’s tremendous impact has only just begun.“Mass adoption of the Internet is driving one of the most exciting social, cultural, and political transformations in history, and unlike earlier periods of change, this time the effects are fully global,” Schmidt and Cohen write in their new book The New Digital Age.Perhaps the most profound changes will come when the five billion people worldwide who currently lack Internet access get online. The authors do an excellent job of examining the implications of the Internet revolution for individuals, governments, and institutions like the news media. But if the book has one major shortcoming, it’s that authors don’t spend enough time applying a critical eye to the role of Internet businesses in these sweeping changes.In their book, the authors provide the most authoritative volume to date that describes —and more importantly predicts — how the Internet will shape our lives in the coming decades. They paint a picture of a world in which individuals, companies, institutions, and governments must deal with two realities, one physical, and one virtual.At the core of the book is the idea that “technology is neutral, but people aren’t.” By using this concept as a starting point, the authors aim to move beyond the now familiar optimist vs. pessimist dichotomy (对立观点) that has characterized many recent debates about whether the rise of the Internet will ultimately be good or bad for society. In an interview with TIME earlier this week, Cohen said although he and his co-author are optimistic about many aspects of the Internet, they’re also realis tic about the risks and dangers that lie ahead when the next five billion people come online, particularly with respect to personal privacy and state surveillance(监视).8. In what way is the rise of the Internet similar to the invention of the printing press and the telegraph?A. It transforms human history.B. It revolutionizes people's thinking.C. It is adopted by all human beings.D. It makes daily communication easy.9. In what respect is the book The New Digital Age considered inadequate?A. It lacks an objective evaluation of the role of Internet businessesB. It fails to look into the social implications of the Internet.C. It fails to recognize the impact of the Internet technology.D. It does not address the technical aspects of Internet communication.10 What will the future be like when everybody gets online?A. People don’t have to travel to see the world.B. People will have equal access to information.C. People will be living in two different realities.D. Peopl e don’t have to communicate face to face.11. What does the passage say about the authors of The New Digital Age?A. They leave many questions unanswered concerning the Internet.B. They don’t take sides in analyzing the effects of the Internet.C. They have explored the unknown territories of the virtual world.D. They are optimistic about the future of the Internet revolution.DIn modern society there is a great deal of argument about competition. Some value it highly, believing that it is responsible for social-progress and prosperity. Others say that competition is bad; that it sets one person against another; that it leads to unfriendly relationship between people.I have taught many children who held the belief that their self-worth relied on how well they performed at tennis and other skills. For them, playing well and winning are often life-and-death affairs. In their single-minded pursuit of success, the development of many other human qualities is sadly forgotten.However, while some seem to be lost in the desire to succeed, others take an opposite attitude. In aculture which values only the winner and pays no attention to the ordinary players, they strongly blame competition. Among the most vocal are youngsters who have suffered under competitive pressures from their parents or society. Teaching these young people, I often observe in them a desire to fail. They seem to seek failure by not trying to win or achieve success. By not trying, they always have an excuse: "I may have lost, but it doesn't matter because I really didn't try." What is not usually admitted by themselves is the belief that if they had really tried and lost, that would mean a lot. Such a loss would be a measure of their worth. Clearly, this belief is the same as that of the true competitors who try to prove themselves. Both are based on the mistake belief that-one's self-respect relies on how well one performs in comparison with others. Both are afraid of not being valued. Only as this basic and often troublesome fear begins to dissolve (缓解) can we discover a new meaning in competition.12. What does this text mainly talk about?A. Competition helps to set up self-respect.B. Competition is harmful to personal quality development.C. People hold different opinions about competition.D. Failures are necessary experience in competition.13. Some people favor competition because they think it __.A. builds up a sense of prideB. pushes society forwardC. improves social abilitiesD. develops people's relationship14. The underlined phrase "the most vocal” in Paragraph 3 refers to those whoA. are strongly against competitionB. highly value competitionC. try their best to winD. mostly rely on others for success15. Which viewpoint does the author agree to?A. Self-worth relies on winning.B. Competition leads to unfriendly relationship.C. Fear of failure should be removed in competition.D. Winning should be a life-and-death matter.第二节(共5小题：每小题2分，满分l0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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

2016年广东广州高三一模英语试卷-学生用卷一、阅读理解1、【来源】 2016年广东广州高三一模第4~7题8分2019~2020学年福建福州仓山区福建师范大学附属中学高二上学期期末（C篇）第28~31题8分In 1800, only three percent of the world's population lived in cities. Only one city—Beijing—had a population of over a million. Most people lived in rural areas, and never saw a city in their lives. In 1900, just a hundred years later, roughly 150 million people lived in cities, and the world's ten largest cities all had populations exceeding one million. By 2000, the number of city dwellers exceeded three billion; and in 2008, the world's population crossed a tipping point—more than half of the people on Earth lived in cities. By 2050, that could increase to over two-thirds. Clearly, humans have become an urban species.In the 19th and early 20th centuries, many people viewed cities negatively—crowded, dirty environments full of disease and crime. They feared that as cities got bigger, living conditions would worsen. In recent decades, however, attitudes have changed. Many experts now think urbanization（城市化）is good news, offering solutions to the problems of Earth's growing population.Harvard economist Edward Glaeser, author of The Victory of the Cir, is one such person. Glaeser argues that cities are very productive because "the absence of space between people" reduces the cost of transporting goods, people, and ideas. While the flow of goods has always been important to cities, what is most important today is the flow of ideas. Successful cities enable people to learn from each other easily, and attract and reward smart people with higher wages.Another urbanization supporter is environmentalist Stewart Brand. Brand believes cities help the environment because they allow haft of the world's population to live on about four percent of the land. This leaves more space for open country, such as farmland. City dwellers also have less impact per person on the environment than people in the countryside. Their roads, sewers, and power lines need fewer resources to build and operate. City apartments require less energy to heat, cool, and light. Most importantly, people in cities drive less so they produce fewer greenhouse gases per person.So it's a mistake to see urbanization as evil; it's a natural part of development. The challenge is how to manage the growth.(1) What is Paragraph 1 mainly about?A. The history of modern cities.B. Changes taking place within cities.C. How cities have grown over time.D. Why modern cities are changing.(2) How have experts' attitudes towards cities changed in recent decades?A. They now view the weaknesses as strengths.B. They no longer see city-riving as attractive.C. They accept city life in spite of its problems.D. They think city-riving provides more benefits.(3) Which of the following would Edward Glaeser agree with?A. Cities provide more economic opportunities.B. City people get along better with each other.C. Over-crowded cities result in problems.D. Cities limit the flow of ideas.(4) According to Paragraph 4, what would be the result of moving people out of cities?A. Economic production would be reduced.B. There would be less farmland available.C. People would travel less frequently.D. House values would fall greatly.2、【来源】 2016年广东广州高三一模（C篇）第8~11题8分2019~2020学年9月广东深圳南山区深圳大学附属中学高三上学期月考（深圳科学高中联考）（C 篇）第28~31题8分(每题2分)It was December 25, 1914, only 5 months into World War I. German, British, and French soldiers, already sick and tired of the senseless killing, disobeyed their superiors and started socialising with "the enemy" along two-thirds of the Western Front.German troops held up Christmas trees with signs, "Merry Christmas". Thousands of troops ran across the battlefields covered with dead bodies. They sang Christmas songs, exchanged photographs of loved ones back home, shared food and even played football. Soldiers hugged men they had been trying to kill a few short hours before. They agreed to warn each other if their officers forced them to fire their weapons, and to aim high.Fear ran through the military leaders on both sides. They felt that their power was being challenged: soldiers declaring their brotherhood with each other and refusing to fight. Generals declared this unexpected peacemaking illegal and said that participating soldiers would face a military court. Thosefound guilty would be imprisoned or even shot. By March 1915 the socialising movement had been destroyed and the killing machine was back in full operation. Over the next three years more than fifteen million people died in the war.Not many people have heard the story of the Christmas Truce （休战）. On Christmas Day, 1988, a local radio host in Boston played "Christmas in the Trenches" , a song about the Christmas Truce, several times and was stunned by his listeners' response. Thousands of people called in, praising the song, with many moved to tears by the amazing events it described.You can probably guess why the callers were in tears. The Christmas Truce story goes against most of what we have been taught about people. It lets us see the world as it can be and says, "This really happened once." It shows us the potential we have as humans, and contradicts all of those TV and newspaper stories that tell us how mean and heartless people are. It is like hearing that our deepest wishes really are true: the world really can be different.(1) The soldiers began socialising with the enemy because.A. they couldn't bear the meaningless killingB. it was the best way to avoid being killedC. they feared that they would be caughtD. their enemies were from similar backgrounds(2) How did the generals finally put an end to the soldiers' socialising?A. They sent the soldiers' loved ones to prison.B. They moved the two groups of soldiers further apart.C. They increased the number of officers to control the soldiers.D. They warned the soldiers that they would face severe punishment.(3) The underlined word "stunned" in Paragraph 4 most probably means.A. satisfiedB. shockedC. amusedD. confused(4) The author uses the story of the soldiers to imply that human beings.A. are not trustworthy under stressB. are naturally aggressive and war-likeC. are basically caring and kindheartedD. will always do what is in their own self-interest3、【来源】 2016年广东广州高三一模（D篇）第12~15题8分Earlier this year, the social media website Facebook announced that it would work with several news organisations—including The New York Times, The Guardian, and the BBC—to place news stories directly into users' personal Facebook webpage. Stories published using Facebook Instant will load more quickly and keep the style of the original publisher, who will keep all the advertising income the stories earn—at least for now. The deal shows how important social, media has become to news organisations, and is a clear sign of how the world of news is changing—and has been for a while.When Google News began in 2002, many saw it as the death of the newspaper. It had no human editor. Instead Google used, and still uses, a secret computer program that selects and displays news stories according to the reader's personal interests. More recently, Associated Press and Yahoo! have been punishing computer-written articles. Both use special software to automatically produce stories about company financial results and sports reports—areas where the quality of writing is felt to be of secondary importance to the accuracy of the data.Should we be worried about such developments? I think we should. One concern is that facebook, Google and other social media websites see journalism as a sideline, a way of putting people in front of advertisements. TAL#NBSP It isn't their primary function—so if it stops making them lots of money,they're likely to stop doing it.There's also a concern that computer-written articles are not actually journalism at all, because what a human news team produces is actually quite complex. A well-written news story puts information in context, offers a voice to each side of an argument and brings the public new knowledge.Though economics and speed of delivery mean readers will probably choose a computer-written story over a carefully shaped article—at least for daily news—I don't think the computers will be writing any in-depth articles for a while yet.(1) What is the main purpose of the article?A. To report on a new computer service offered by Facebook..B. To advise readers against reading computer-written news.C. To express concern about recent trends in online news.D. To describe the process of online news reporting.(2) Computer-written news reports have so far focused on sports and financebecause.A. these are the most popular topics for online readersB. there are fewer journalists specialising in these areasC. information on these topics is more easily availableD. writing style is less important than accuracy in these areas(3) What does the underlined word "It" in Paragraph 3 refer to?A. Journalism.B. Advertising.C. Facebook.D. Business.(4) In Paragraph 4, which of the following is mentioned as a characteristic of a well-written news article?A. The information presented is up-to-date.B. The author's opinion is clear.C. Different views on the topic are presented.D. The language used is vivid.二、七选五4、【来源】 2016年广东广州高三一模第16~20题10分2017~2018学年广东广州荔湾区广东实验中学（高中）高一上学期开学考试第51~55题10分Vacations are important. We need to take time out from work to relax, and just beourselves.1We should all be allowed to leave our jobs behind us—at least for a few weeks each year—and just have fun. This might be something as simple as reading a good book in front of a warm fireplace through to travelling to the most interesting places on our planet. Whatever we fancy doing is worth taking time out for.Workplace stress is on the rise.2These include disease, depression and even death. We all seem to be running from one place to the next, never finding out where we want to go in the first place. I intend to break that trend in the coming days.3I will sleeplate, write, watch movies, drink the occasional glass of wine, and eat to my heart's content ignoring calorie counting. My plan is to just enjoy the fleeting moments of being alive.4Spend your next vacation the way you want. Do what will restore your mental health. You're very valuable to the people who are close to you, and to those who depend on it. Like it or not, we are all interdependent in this great life of ours.You are valuable. Just remember that the next time you look at the mirror and take a deep breath. Remind yourself that there will never be anyone like you ever on this earthagain.5All you have to do is just ask yourself what you want to do.A. With it come many health problems.B. When you finally get home you'll be greatly refreshed.C. I challenge each one of you to do the same.D. Draw up a detailed plan so you can see more.E. Life is not all about work, or at least it shouldn't be.F. And only you know how to vacation your way.G.

All three of us were critically injured. St acey’s brain injury was the most severe. Despite all attempts to save her, she died two days later. When I became conscious, I heard my husband talking to the organ donor coordinator（器官捐助协调员）.We knew that Stacey would want that because that’s the kind of person she was. She always wanted to assist people. She was always smiling and brought so much joy to others. She was friendly and enjoyed writing stories and poetry.It has been a comfort to know that Stacey lives on in the lives of others. I have even met the family of one of Stacey’s kidney recipients (接受人). This little girl was 6 years old at the time of the transplant. She was suffering from Nephrotic Syndrome. I saw pictures showing the effects of the Nephrotic Syndrome and the pictures of her after the transplant. They already showed an amazing difference. We correspond every year through letters, cards and pictures. The girl is doing really well at school and will be graduating from high school next year. I am so grateful that we have this relationship. I also feel relieved that my daughter has made so great a difference to a person’s life.Over the years, I have had some kind of contact with all of the recipients except the heart recipient. I’m very sorry for that. I would love to hear something from the heart recipient’s family. There are so many things that I wonder about her. I wonder if she is anything like Stacey. Does she smile all the time? Does she enjoy writing stories and poetry? I do hope that they can contact us!I feel guilty because I was the one driving in the accident which caused Stacey’s death. I also feel proud that my daughter has helped so many people.4. When did Stacey die from the traffic accident?A. On May 28th, 1998B. On May 29th, 1998C. On May 31st, 1998D. On May 30th, 19985.

B ut here’s a tip: Y ou’d be wise not to expect much gratitude from them for what they receive.Gratitude can make us happier, healthier, and even fitter. But do the kids show their gratitude for the stuff we buy them? All the research I’ve done has convinced me that it won’t happen. One mom told me that when she asked her 16-year-old son to thank her for buying him a cellphone, he said, “But that’s what moms should do.” From a teenager’s angle, it’s a parent’s responsibility to take care of the family. Accord ing to Dunham, Yale’s assistant professor of psychology, “When teenagers code it that way, a gift is no longer something given freely and voluntarily”—it’s just mom and dad living up to their obligation.Parents do have the right to demand good manners and children should thank sincerely whoever gives them something. But kids can’t know how blessed they are unless they have a basis for comparison. And they don’t learn that by a parent complaining that they’re ungrateful. We need to give our children the gi ft of a wider world view. Show by example that gratitude isn’t about stuff—which ultimately can’t make any of us happy anyway. It’s about realizing how lucky you are and paying your good fortune forward.You can collect all the charitable appeals and sit down together with the kids to go through them. You set the budget for giving and the kids decide how it’s distributed. Once the conversation about gratitude gets started, it’s much easier to continue all year. Also you can set up a family routine at bedtime where kids describe three things that have made them grateful. When kids go off to college, you can text them a picture each week of something that inspires your appreciation.Teaching children to focus on the positive and appreciate the good in their lives is perhaps the greatest gift we can give them. And we can all learn together that the things that really matter aren’t on sale at a department store.8. How do children respond when receiving gifts from their parents?A. They show no interest in their parents’ gifts.B. They can’t wait to open their parents’ gifts.C. They show much gratitude to their parents for the gifts.D. They take their parents’ gifts for granted.9. To make children grateful for what they have, parents should _________.A. live up to their obligationB. ask their children to have good mannersC. teach their children by setting an exampleD. complain their children are ungrateful10. What can we learn from the last two paragraphs?A. No gifts are greater than teaching children to be positive and grateful.B. Children ought to realize how lucky they are to have considerate parents.C. Children are supposed to decide how to distribute their own moneyD. It is easy for parents to start the conversation about gratitude.11. What’s the purpose of the author writing this text?A. To explain the reason why children offer no gratitude to their parents.B. To give advice to parents on how to help children develop gratitude.C. To encourage parents to do things together with their children.D. To remind parents of their responsibility to educate their children.DPeople with an impulsive personality refer to those who tend to do things without considering the possible dangers or problems first. According to a new study by researchers at the University of Georgia, such people may be more likely to have food addiction. The study found that people exhibiting impulsive behavior weren’t necessarily overweight, but impulsiv eness was related to a direct relationship with food, and therefore, less healthy weight.Food addiction has been compared to addictive drug use. Studies have linked the dopamine (多巴胺) release that occurs after tasting delicious food to the dopamine release that happens when people consume other addictive substances.Impulsive behavior involves several personality traits (特点). Two of these traits, known as negative urgency and lack of perseverance, were particularly associated with food addiction and high BMI (身体质量指数) during the study.Negative urgency is characterized by the tendency to behave impulsively when experiencing negative emotions. Some people might drink alcohol or take drugs. For others, it could mean eating to feel better. Lack of perseverance is when a person has a hard time finishing hard or boring tasks. People with a lack of perseverance might have difficulty attempting to change addictive eating behavior, which could also cause obesity.“Impulsi veness might be one reason why some people eat in an addictive way despite motivation to lose weight,” said Dr. Ashley Gearhardt, a clin ical psychologist. He was involved in developing the Yale Food Addiction Scale in aid of those people. “We are theorizing that if food addiction is really a thing, then our measure, the Yale Food Addiction Scale, should be related to helping control impulsive action,” said Gearhardt.Clinical psychologist Dr. James MacKillop, whose lab was conducting the study, believes that therapies used to treat addictive drug behavior could help people who suffer from addictive eating habits.“Most of the programs for weight loss at this point focus on the most obvious things, which are clearly diet and exercise,” MacKillop said. “It seems that managing strong desires to eat would naturally fit in with the skills a person would need to eat healthily.”12. According to Paragraph 1, the result of food addiction is ________.A. less healthy weightB. motivation to lose weightC. negative emotionsD. taking alcohol or drugs13. How does the author introduce the two personality traits in Paragraph 4?A. By making comparisons and conclusions.B. By explaining causes and effects.C. By presenting questions and answers.D. By giving definitions and examples.14. What can be inferred about the Yale Food Addiction Scale from the text?A. It has been successfully carried out among overweight people.B. It might help some impulsive people with food addiction to lose weight.C. It will prove whether food addiction is a problem to impulsive people.D. It is theoretically a proper treatment for addictive food and drug behavior.15. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A. Dopamine release caused by food addictionB. Food addiction compared to drug useC. Impulsive personality linked to food additionD. Food addiction contributing to obesity 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。
广东省新高考普通高中联合质量测评高三年级一轮省级联考10月份英语试题
广东省新高考普通高中联合质量测评高三年级一轮省级联考10月份英语试题After staying at home for a long time, many of us feel the itch to travel again. Before you start to pack the car, let these five signature drives inspire your plans and wanderlust.No. 1: America’s Highway: ROUTE 66Historic Route 66 is the quintessentia l American experience. “It’s not the road and it’s not the attractions - it’s the people,” says CEO of Mother Road Enterprises Jim Conkle. “It’s really a collection of cultures and languages. If you travel Route 66 and don’t immerse yourself with the peopl e, you’re missing the key to the whole experience,” he says.No. 2: Ultimate FLORIDA BEACH TripWith 1,350 miles of unbroken coastline, Florida is America’s undisputed (不容置疑的) sand-and-surf playground. The top beach in Florida - in fact, in all of America-is Siesta Key, just south of Sarasota. If you have never heard of it, perhaps that’s because Floridians try to keep this most-coveted secret to themselves. Siesta Key is one of many not-too-crowded beaches you’ll find on this drive along Florida Sun Coast.No. 3: Iowa’s GREAT RIVER ROADThe Mississippi River is our most inspiring natural landmark. The water is the star of the trip, but the scenery throughout Iowa puts on its own show. A three-hour drive north of Keokuk brings you to Le Claire, birthplace of Buffalo Bill Cody and home to the museum that honors both his contributions as an explorer of the West and the Native Americans he met.No. 4: Five in One Drive: NATIONAL PARKSSculpted by wind and water over thousands of years, the remote canyons and plateaus (高原) of southeastern Utah were among the last parts of the American West to be seen by drivers from the East. Today, that rugged (多岩石的) landscape is home to some of the most popular national parks in the country. Collectively known as the Mighty Five, they offer dramatic desert landscapes, soaring arches, deep slot canyons, and reach-for-the-sky rocky spires.No. 5: History & Foliage: NEW ENGLANDNew England vacationers essentially want two things: a little bit of history and a lot of leaves. You’ll find them both on Massachusetts’s Mohawk Trail, one of the nation’s first designated scenic highways. The Mohawk people once used this byway across the Berkshire Hills as a trading route, and armies from Colonial Boston traveled it to defend the western frontier.1. Which drive best suits people who enjoy water sports?A．America’s Highway: ROUTE 66.B．Ultimate FLORIDA BEACH Trip.C．Five in One Drive: NATIONAL PARKS. D．History & Foliage: NEW ENGLAND. 2. What does “Mighty Five” in Paragraph 5 refer to?A．The homes in the American West. B．The sculptures in the American West.C．The highways in southeastern Utah. D．The national parks in southeastern Utah.3. What can we infer from the text?A．Involving yourself with the people will capture the essence of traveling Route 66.B．If you’ve never heard of Siesta Key, that’s because Floridians keep it a secret.C．A three-hour drive south of Keokuk leads you to the birthplace of Buffalo Bill Cody.D．Armies from Colonial Boston traveled across the Berkshire Hills to protect the western frontier.Peggy, a nine-year-old border collie (柯利牧羊犬), was signed over to the RSPCA (皇家防止虐待动物协会) after her handler could no longer communicate with her. He thought she could no longer work because she was not able to hear whistles or voice commands.However, after being handed to the RSPCA, Peggy was taken in by Chloe Shorten, an animal welfare manager from the organization’s mid-Norfolk and north Suffolk branch.Shorten, 28, and her husband Jason, 34, a shepherd, taught Peggy to understand hand signals and body language. The couple trained Peggy with the help of a sheepdog trainer and their two other working dogs, Sid and Nora.Shorten said, “We completely fell in love with Peggy almost immediately, and it soon became clear that she wouldn’t be going anywhere. We knew Peggy wanted to be working, so we started the long process of teaching her how to herd and work with a shepherd without relying on voice commands.”The couple began by training Peggy to look at them to receive hand signals. “We used repetitive and positive reinforcement (加强) and instead of pairing a verbal command with an action we’d use a hand gesture. She reads our hand signals and body language as a way of telling what we’re asking for. For example, thumbs up means ‘good girl’. A flat, outstretched palm means ‘stop’.”Shorten and her husband point in a certain direction to indicate where they want Peggy to go and pat their knees to summon her back to them. To ask her to slow down, Shorten said she does a waving gesture.Peggy is not working full-ti me but enjoys helping out in the fields. “It can be difficult with a deaf dog, because you have to wave at her to get her attention, and sometimes she doesn’t realize straight away,” she said. “But she’s such a happy little dog. She’s no spring chicken, and she is generally retired, but she loves going out to work with us and running around in the fields.”4. What do we learn about Peggy from the passage?A．Peggy was transferred from her former owner to RSPCA for her old age.B．Peggy was trained without the aid of other dogs.C．Peggy was adopted by the couple shortly after the couple met her.D．Peggy is full of energy and now is working all day long.5. How did the couple train Peggy to understand their hand signals and body language?A．By applying repeated and positive reinforcement.B．By paring a verbal command with an action.C．By patting their knees.D．By doing a waving gesture.6. What is the meaning of the underlined part in Paragraph 7?A．not deaf B．not young C．not energetic D．not positive7. What is the main idea of the passage?A．Sign language is of importance to training dogs to herd.B．How RSPCA rescues the abandoned dogs and sends them to some families.C．How Shorten and Jason teach deaf dogs to herd and work with a shepherd.D．An elderly deaf sheepdog is now working again after learning sign language.Last summer, the missing white-letter hairstreak butterfly was spotted in Scotland for the first time in 133 years. Conservationists wondered if the creature had established a breeding colony in the country. As Russell Jackson reports for the Scotsman, volunteer naturalists recently found a cluster of tiny white-letter hairstreak eggs on an elm tree in Lennel, a small village near the country of Berwick-shire.Volunteers with the UK’s But terfly Conservation have been carefully tracking white-letter hair-streak migrations for more than ten years. The butterfly is native to the UK and was once widespread in England and Wales. But white -letter hairstreak numbers have declined drastically in recent decades, largely due to an outbreak of Dutch elm disease, and illness that took hold in the 1960s. The disease has killed millions of British elm trees, which is the food source for white-letter hairstreak caterpillars (蝴蝶或蛾的幼虫).Recently, there have been signs that the butterfly’s populations are recovering. The Butterfly Conservation team has observed the white-letter hairstreak gradually spreading northwards, possibly due to warming climates. But the white-letter hairstreak is still a very rare sight in Scotland, and the volunteers who found the cluster of eggs — Ken Haydock and Jill Mills — were thrilled by the discovery.“It was a lovely sunny morning and we were searching the elm trees by the River Tweed at Lennel when Jill called me over,” Haydock says in a Butterfly Conservation statement, “I could see by the look on her face that she had found something. We were both smiling with disbelief and delight when we realized what Jill had found and within seconds I was fumbling in my pack for the camera —my hands were shaking!”That Haydock and Mills managed to spot the eggs is quite remarkable; according to Vittoria Traverso of Atlas Obscura, white-letter hairstreak eggs are smaller than a grain of salt. The volunteers were also excited to discover an old, hatched eggshell amid the cluster of new eggs. According to the Butterfly Conservation, this suggests that the white-letter hairstreak could have been breeding in the area since at least 2016.Paul Kirkland, the director of the Butterfly Conserva tion’ s Scotland chapter, says in the statement that conservationists will “need to have a few more years of confirmed sightings” before they can classify the white-letter hairstreak as a resident species of Scotland. “If this happens, it would take the to tal number of butterflies found in Scotland to 34,” he says, “which really would be something to celebrate.”8. What mainly accounted for the sharp decrease of the special butterfly species?A．An outbreak of the butterfly disease. B．A great loss due to its mass migration.C．The mass death of British elm trees. D．The consequence of global warming.9. What was said about the white-letter hairstreak butterfly?A．It has been native to the US and spread to England.B．Its population is decreasing due to global warming.C．Signs have shown that its number is rising again now.D．People can see them every now and then in Scotland.10. What do we know about the two volunteer naturalists?A．It was on a rainy day that they made the discovery.B．Ken looked puzzled the moment Jill called him over.C．Jill made the discovery first and took a photo of it.D．They felt it unbelievable to make their discovery.11. Why does Paul Kirkland think something is worth celebrating?A．Volunteers can find more eggs of the special butterfly in the future.B．The total number of butterfly species found in the UK adds up to 34.C．Conservationists will have more years of confirmed sightings.D．The number of butterfly species found in Scotland increases again.The cold, wet weather of winter often puts out any wildfires that are still burning, but not in the far North areas, such as Alaska, Canada, and other parts of North America. Some forest fires just don’t die in these places. Think of the fires as “zombies” (僵尸): Scientists do. When summers are warmer than normal, some fires can hide through the winter. They burn dead plant matter and soils under snow. In May 2021, scientists reported their work to a scientific journal. The scientists saw that zombie fires are rare but they could become more common as the world warms, the study warns. “Some years, new fires were starting very close to the previous year’s fire,” explains Rebecca Scholten. She studies Earth and environmental sciences at Vrije University Amsterdam in the Netherlands. The new fires made scientists wonder how often fires might survive the winter. The scientists started by combing through firefighter reports. Then they compared these with satelliteimages of Alaska and northern Canada. The scientists looked for fires that began close to fires from the year before. They also focused on blazes starting before the middle of summer. Random lightning or human actions spark most fires in the area, Scholten says. But those fires happen later in the year.Zombie fires accounted for less than 1 percent of the total area burned by fires from 2002 to 2018. But it changed from year to year. Take 2008, for example. A zombie fire burned Alaska that year. It caused almost one-third of fire damage that year. One clear pattern emerged: Zombie fires were more likely to happen after very warm summers. High temperatures may allow fires to reach more deeply into the soil. Such deep burns are more likely to survive to spring.The zombie fire threat could grow. The climate is warming. Forests in the far North already are warming faster. “We’re seeing more hot summers and more large fires and intense burning,” Scholten says. Plus, zombie fires could cause more issues. The fires release huge amounts of greenhouse gases. These trap heat in the Earth’s atmosphere. The atmosphere is a layer of gases that surround the Earth. Scholten’s research could help fire management. Firefighters would know to check for them after warm summers.12. What may lead to zombie fires according to the passage?A．wet weather B．hotter summersC．low temperatures D．cold winters13. What can we learn about zombie fires from Paragraph 2?A．Where flames broke out provided the clue.B．Changing climate plays a role in the zombie fire threat.C．Zombie fires are less likely to happen after very warm summers.D．It is of little use comparing firefighter reports with satellite images.14. What conclusion will be possibly made based on the last paragraph?A．It is important to understand zombie fires.B．Zombie fires are likely to be under control soon.C．Firefighters cannot do much to stop the zombie fires.D．We still have much to learn about the warming climate.15. Which of the following could be the suitable title of the passage?A．“Zombie“ wildfires do great damage to landB．“Zombie” wildfires release greenhouse gasesC．“Zombie“ wildfires sparked by human actionsD．“Zombie” wildfires reappear after wintering undergroundYou find yourself stuck in traffic when a hasty driver cuts you off. Before you know it, your blood pressure has spiked and you impulsively yell anger out of the window. This kind of scene happens to everyone at some point. Frequent bursts that increase quickly, though, may be a sign that you’re dealing with a short temper. 16Practice mindfulness meditation. 17 Close your eyes and notice the physical sensation of anger travel through your body, whether it’s through your rapid heart rate or your clenched (紧张的) jaw. Inhale deeply and allow all thoughts of anger to release as you exhale. Repeat 2 to 3 times per day or whenever you start to feel anger arise.18 Come up with some concrete strategies for dealing with situations that you know will trigger your temper. If you know your daily commute tends to set you off, for example, set aside some time to focus on alternative options. Waking up earlier to catch an emptier train or carpooling (拼车) with a coworker might make all the difference.Get physical. When you start to feel your blood boil, work it off with an exercise session. Go out fora quick ran, play a sport that gets your heart pumping, or swim a few laps in the neighborhood pool.19Use a daily mood chart. Track episodes of anger and irritability (易怒) by keeping a daily record of your moods. 20 To get an extra clear picture of your moods, try to also take notes of your intake of caffeine or other substances, quality of sleep, stressful situations or conversations, and any underlying emotions like fear or disappointment.Debra Ferrell got the standard well wishes on Facebook on her 53rd birthday, but she got some__________ messages too.

After six-and-a-half years and over 32, 000 kilometers, Maxwell’s walk ended 37 it began. Before she left38 her journey, Maxwell found inspiration from women explorers of the past. “I read their books in39 (hope) of finding encouragement—and I did—by learning about their challenges and struggles as well as their triumphs. Each woman’s story was 40 (vast) different, 41 gave me the confidence to give my walk a try,” Maxwell told the BBC.Maxwell’s worldwide walk wasn’t easy. She heard gunshots while camping in Turkey and 42 (attack) in her tent in Mongolia. Still, she continued to walk.When the BBC asked her what kind of person 43 takes to walk around the world, Maxwell said, “It’s probably a combination of ambition, a little 44 (stubborn) and a pinch of passion—not for hiking as a sport, but for self-discovery and adventure.”“Walking has taught me that everything and everyone has a story 45 (share); we just have to be willing to listen,” she said.46. 假定你是李华，上周五你参加了学校组织的开心农场活动，请你用英语向校刊投稿，报道活动的内容和感受，要点包括：1.活动的内容;2.你的感受。

No other writer of our time had so fiercely stated, or so consistently (一贯地) illustrated the writer’s duty to speak truly. His standard of truth-telling remained, moreover, so high and so strict that he was ordinarily unwilling to admit secondary evidence, whether literary evidence or evidence picked up from other sources than his own experience. “I only know what I have seen”, was a statement which came often to his lips and pen. What he had personally done, or what he knew unforgettably by having gone through one version of it, was what he was interested in telling about.The primary intention of his writing, from first to last, was to seize and project for the reader what he often called “the way it was”. This is a characteristically simple phrase for a concept of extraordinary complexity, and Hemingway’s concept of its meaning subtly (微妙地) changed several times in the course of his career - always in the direction of greater complexity. At the core of the concept, however, one can invariably recognize the operation of three instruments of beauty appreciation: the sense of place, the sense of fact, and the sense of scene.The first of these, obviously a strong passion with Hemingway, is the sense of place. “Unless you have geography, background,” he once told George Antheil, “you have nothing.” You have, that is to say, a dramatic vacuum. Few writers have been more place-conscious. Few have so carefully charted out the geographical ground work of their novels while managing to keep background so unnoticeable. Few, accordingly, have been able to record more economically and graphically the way it is when you watch the bulls running through the streets of Pamplona, Spain towards the bull-ring.“When I woke it was the sound of the rocket exploding that announced the release of thebulls. Down below the narrow street was empty. All the balconies were crowded with people. Suddenly a crowd came down the street. They were all running, packed close together. They passed along and up the street toward the bull-ring and behind them came more men running faster, and then some stragglers (落后者) who were really running. Behind them was a little bare space, and then the bulls tossing their heads up and down. It all went out of sight around the corner. One man fell, rolled to the gutter (排水沟), and lay quiet. But the bulls went right on and did not notice him. They were all running together.”4．What’s the main idea of the first two paragraphs?A．Hemingway’s writing began from reality and then he would let his mind wander. B．Hemingway’s primary purpose in writing was to report faithfully reality as he experienced it.C．Hemingway’s writing reflects his preference for a simple story that the reader would thoroughly enjoy.D．Hemingway would construct a story that would reflect truths that were not particular to a specific historical period.5．It can be inferred from the passage that Hemingway preferred ______ as the sources for his work.A．Stories that he had experienced rather than read about.B．Stories that he had read about in newspapers or other sources.C．Stories that he had heard from friends or chance acquaintances.D．Stories that came to him in periods of deep thinking or in dreams.6．The author calls “the way it was” a “characteristically simple phrase for a concept of extraordinary complexity” because ______.A．it shows how Hemingway understated complex issues in his books.B．it reflects Hemingway’s talent for making ordinary events difficult to understand. C．Hemingway’s obsession for geographic details overshadowed the dramatic element of his stories.D．the relationship between simplicity and complexity reflected the relationship between the style and content of Hemingway’s writing.7．Why does the author include an excerpt (节选) from The Sun Also Rises in the last paragraph?A．To vividly illustrate how exciting the bull run is.B．To demonstrate that all kinds of runners can take part in the bull run.C．To show Hemingway’s delicate description of the background of the bull run.D．To place greater emphasis on the importance of geography, economically speaking.Can you imagine there being a community where boys and girls growing up together can finally speak different languages? In Ubang Nigeria, it really happens. It’s not exactly clear what percentage of the words in the men’s and women’s languages are different, but there are enough examples to make sentences sound different when spoken by the opposite sex. For “clothing”, men use the word “nki”, while women say “ariga”; “kitchi” means tree for men, while women say “okweng”. These are not just some slight pronunciation differences, but totally different words. “It’s almost like two different lexicons (词汇集),” a language expert, Chi Chi Undle said. “There are a lot of words that men and women share in common, but there are others which are totally different depending on your sex. They don’t sound alike, and don’t have the same letters. They are completely different words.”Interestingly, both men and women are able to understand each other perfectly in Ubang, as both boys and girls grow up around their parents and get to learn both languages, but by the age of 10, boys are expected to speak in the male tongue. It seems that there is a stage the male will reach and he discovers he is not using the rightful language. When he starts speaking the men’s language, you know the maturity is coming into him.No one really knows how or why the double-language tradition of Ubang began. Chi Chi Undie believes the two languages are the result of a “double-sex culture” where men and women operate in two separate spheres (范围) and live in separate worlds that rarely come together. However, she admits this is a weak theory, as the double-sex culture is present in many parts of Africa, where there are no different languages for men and women.Today, with English words constantly entering the lexicon of young Nigerians, Ubang’s two languages are in danger of being lost forever. Worse still, neither the male nor female language is written down, so they both rely on young people passing them down to the next generation.8．What do we know about languages in Ubang?A．Word differences account for a high percentage.B．Men and women speak totally different languages.C．Word differences partly exist between the opposite sex.D．Men and women pronounce differently on the same word.9．Why can me and women understand each other easily in Ubang?A．Their lexicons sound alike.B．They learn both languages at school.C．The men can speak two different languages.D．They are exposed to both languages in their childhood.10．What does Chi Chi Undie want to explore in Paragraph 3?A．The change of double-sex culture.B．The theory of doube-sex culture.C．The origin of double-language tradition.D．The sphere of double-language tradition.11．How does the author feel about the disappearing languages in Ubang? A．Frightened.B．Concerned.C．Confused.D．Stressed.About a million years ago a small mutation (突变) might have unlocked a big advantage for ancient humans. A recent study in Science Advances suggests that a variant of a critical stretch of DNA called the growth hormone receptor (激素受体) gene protected against starvation—in part by limiting individuals’ body size during periods of resource scarcity.Previous research had linked the variant, called GHRd3, to characteristics such as smaller birth size and earlier sexual maturity, as well as other qualities that can benefit organisms when food is scarce, says the study’s lead author Omer Gokcumen from the University at Buffalo. Still, researchers wanted to know more precisely what role the mutation played in human evolution.To dig deeper, Gokcumen and his colleagues turned to mice. Or rather they turned some mice into analogues (类似物) of early humans. Using the genetic editing tool CRISPR-Cas9, the team deleted a section of mice’s growth hormone receptor gene so it resembled the GHRd3 variant. The modified mice were not especially different from ordinary ones when fed a regular diet. But when fed very little, the male carriers grew up to be smaller than their unmodified counterparts. Gokcumen’s team also found that among a group of 176 modern human children who survived malnutrition, symptoms were less severe in boys and girls with GHRd3.These findings could help explain why GHRd3 has persisted for so long. Perhaps it paid to be small in times of scarcity, the researchers suppose—but in times of abundance large size won out.Changes in available resources could then have balanced the costs and benefits of different variants within a population. “It’s a trade-off,” Gokcumen says. “I would probably fare better than Arnold Schwarzenegger if we each had 1,000 calories a day.”The team’s explanation is “plausible”, says Megan Dennis, a geneticist at the University of California, who was not part of the study. She praises the functional experiments in mice but notes that the affected gene is involved in so many fundamental processes that it is difficult to pin down GHRd3’s most adaptive effects. “I was like, ‘Wow, there’s so much that could be happening here,’” Dennis says.12．What can we learn about GHRd3?A．It may decline as a result of resource limitations.B．It performs its function when animals’ size is small.C．It can be modified to limit animals’ size to fight starvation.D．It is a shortened version of the growth hormone receptor gene.13．Which of the following statements might Gokcumen’s team agree with?A．When there is little food, it pays to be small.B．When food is insufficient, GHRd3 won’t work.C．When you go on a diet, GHRd3 can be harmful.D．When humans fight for resources, their size matters.14．What does the underlined word “plausible” mean in the last paragraph? A．Statistically incredible.B．Relatively conventional. C．Technically adequate.D．Seemingly reasonable.15．Which of the following could be the best title of this text?A．How Ancient Humans Survived StarvationB．Gene Variant Saves Humans from StarvationC．What Role GHRd3 Plays in Human EvolutionD．The Influence of Resource Shortage on GHRd3二、七选五In 2013, digital media consultant Baratunde Thurston launched an experiment. Hedecided to disconnect from his online life for twenty-five days: no Facebook, no Twitter, not even e-mail. He needed the break. ____16____It didn’t take him long to adjust to a disconnected life. By the end of that first week, he was less stressed about not knowing new things. ____17____ He enjoyed food without Twittering the experience. But the end came too soon. After the twenty-five days. he had to restore his online presence.His experiment summarizes two important points about our relationship with social networks like Facebook and Twitter. The first point is that we increasingly recognize that these tools fragment (碎裂) our time and reduce our ability to concentrate. ____18____ But the problem is especially serious if you’re attempting to improve your ability to work deeply.To fight back against these distractions, Thurston felt his only option was to quit the Internet altogether. But the problem is that no one is meant to actually follow Thurston’s lead. ____19____ That is to accept our current distracted state as unavoidable. This brings me to the second point summarized by Thurston’s story: it didn’t take him long once the experiment ended to slide back into the fragmentedstate where he began.This rule proposes a third option: accepting that these tools might be vital to your success and happiness, but meanwhile accepting that most people should be using fewer such tools. I won’t ask you, in other words, to quit the Internet altogether like Thurston did.____20____ There is a middle ground, and if you’re to develop a deep work habit, you must fight to get there.A．He struck up conversations with strangers.B．It is a real problem for many different people.C．“I was burnt out, fried, and done,” he explained.D．This reality accounts for the remaining alternative.E．He had to return to the online world with books to market.F．But I’ll ask you to reject the state of highly distracted connectedness. G．Fortunately, you will break the habit of surfing the Internet gradually.三、完形填空Galactic used in 2004 to attract potential customers to its planned space tourism services. It promised that, within five years, it would take a total of over 3,000 passengers onlife-changing trips in its spaceships. On July 11, 2021, after a last 90-minute delay, Virgintemporarily weightless passengers, including the firm’s British co-founder, Sir Richard Branson, saw the planet against the blackness of outer space.Back on the ground, Sir Richard called the experience “magical”. He may have____23____ the fact that he was able to reach space earlier than Jeff Bezos, a fellow billionaire but much wealthier. On July 20, Bezos would go slightly higher, for slightly less time, in a vehicle that had been built by his own spacefaring company, Blue Origin.The two tycoons (大亨) are among a growing number of ____24____ who believe that space tourism’s time has come. Suborbital (亚轨道的) tourism is part of a broader space economy that has rapidly grown over the past decade ____25____ technological advances. However, it is highly ____26____ that this will be true.For now, Blue Origin and Virgin Galactic will offer ____27____ suborbital flights to paying customers. Blue Origin is focusing much more on the development of a large new rocket that will be used for the launching of satellites, on selling advanced rocket engines to other companies, and on bidding (投标) on NASA contracts such as the recently announced plan to send humans back to the moon. ____28____, Bezos doesn’t see Blue Origin as a provider of services to adventure-seekers.Even this 4-minute suborbital travels have a(n) ____29____, apparently. A major survey found that nearly two in five people with a net worth of over five million dollars would consider paying $250,000, Virgin Galactic’s current price, for a ticket. The business could be ____30____, once regular flights begin to offset (抵消) the rockets’ development costs. But how fast and by how much is ____31____. Without tourist-friendly destinations to visit (the capacity of the International Space Station is strictly limited), orbital tourism, with its far higher ticket prices, will not be a huge earner.Another challenge — and the industry’s biggest remaining uncertainty — relates to____32____. History has shown that a disaster, ____33____ in the early stages of an industry, can set progress back by years. NASA ____34____ its plan to send the untrained to orbit in 1986 after a school teacher was killed along with the rest of the crew in the Challenger tragedy. It was another 15 years before the next untrained person would ____35____ thejourney on a Russian craft.21．A．modest B．demanding C．motivational D．unclear 22．A．obligation B．commitment C．requirement D．survey 23．A．felt ashamed of B．kept an eye on C．felt content with D．got upset with 24．A．optimists B．opponents C．experts D．objectors 25．A．thanks to B．but for C．apart from D．in spite of 26．A．impossible B．undoubted C．probable D．favorable 27．A．long-lasting B．inexpensive C．automatic D．brief 28．A．On the contrary B．What’s more C．In the long runD．Above all29．A．shortcoming B．limitation C．advantage D．appeal 30．A．profitable B．uneconomic C．eco-friendly D．globalized 31．A．predictable B．essential C．irrelevant D．uncertain 32．A．development B．security C．stability D．novelty 33．A．particularly B．critically C．precisely D．unforeseeably 34．A．initiated B．drafted C．modified D．suspended 35．A．brave B．abandon C．steer D．pause四、用单词的适当形式完成短文阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。

第I卷第一部分阅读理解(共两节，满分40分)第一节(共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分)阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将选项涂黑。
AA small boy sat on the street with a hat by his feet. He held up a sign which said: “ I am blind, please help”. There were only a few coins in the hat.A man was walking by. He took a few coins from his pocket and dropped them into the hat. He then took the sign, turned it around, and wrote some words. He put the sign back so that everyone who walked by would see the new words. Soon the hat began to fill up. A lot more people were giving money to the blind boy. That afternoon the man who had changed the sign came to see how things were.The boy recognized his footsteps and asked :“Were you the one who changed my sign this morning? What did you write?”The man said: “I only wrote the truth. I said what you said but in a different way.”What he had written was: “Today is a beautiful day but I cannot see it.”Do you think the first sign and the second sign were saying the same thing? Of course both signs told people the boy was blind. But the first sign simply told people to help by putting some money in the hat. The second sign told people that they were able to enjoy the day, but the boy could not enjoy it because he was blind.The first sign simply said the boy was blind. The second sign told people they were so lucky that they were not blind.There are at least two lessons we can learn from this simple story.The first is: Be thankful for what you have. Someone else has less. Help where you can.The second is：Be creative. Think differently. There is always a better way!1. What was the boy doing on the street?A. He was selling his old hat.B. He was busy counting coins.C. He was begging for money.D. He was showing his handwriting.2. How did the man help the blind boy?A. He took the boy's sign away.B. He only gave the boy some money.C. He changed the words on the sign.D. He asked others to help the blind boy.3. The blind boy recognized the kind man by his ______ .A. wordsB. smellC. voiceD. footstepsBIt’s hard to find Alice Munro in the media. Even after she won the 2013 Nobel Prize in Lit erature, the Canadian writer just appeared for a quick interview and then dropped out of sight. On Dec 29, she still didn't seek the spotlight（聚光灯）when she was named one of the five Women of the Year by the Financial Times.In Munro's eyes, ordinary lives always hide larger dramas. So she records what we casually think of as the everyday actions of normal people. She often focuses on life in her hometown, a small village in Ontario which she is most familiar with. She writes about the ordinary things in the village－fox forming, trees filled in the Ontario wilderness, poor country alcohol and long last illnesses. Above all, she talks about girls and women who have seemingly ordinary lives but struggle against daily misfortune.She has a special talent for uncovering the extraordinary in the ordinary. These are ordinary people, ordinary stories, but she has the magic. Her precise language, depth of detail and the logic of her storytelling have made her stories inviting.Runaway,one of Munro’s rep resentative works, is a good example of her writing style. One of the stories centers on the life of an ordinary woman Carla, who lives in a small Canadian town with her husband Clark. The story slowly forms a picture of Carla, trapped in a bad marriage, her unhappiness building into desperation until she decided to flee. The story of Carla is a story of the power and betrayals of love. It is about lost children and lots of chances that we can all find in life, There is pain beneath the surface, like a needle in the heart.Since she published her first collection of short stories in 1968, Munro has won many awards, with the Nobel Prize being her biggest honor. On Oct 10, 2013, the Nobel Prize committee named Munro the “master of the contemporary short story”.4. We learn from Paragraph 1 that Alice Munro_____A．didn't get on well with the media B．remained modest though very successful C．didn’t value the title of Women of the Year D. was surprised at winning the Nobel Prize5. What makes Alic e Munro’s stories fascinating according to the text?A．Her writing techniques B．The complicated plotsC．The humorous language D．Her rich imagination6. In her representative work Runaway, Carla_____A．leads a happy life with Clark B．is a faithful wife to her husbandC．loses all hopes for a better life D．tries to run away from her husband7. What is the text mainly about?A．Alice Munro and her hometown B．The awards Alice Munro wonC．Alice Munro and her writing style D．Alice Munro’s literary lifeCThe rise of the Internet has been one of the most transformative developments in human history, comparable in impact to the invention of the printing press and the telegraph. Over two billion people worldwide now have access to vastly more information than ever before, and can communicate with each other instantly, often using Web-connected mobile devices they carry everywhere. But the Internet’s tremendous impact has only just begun.“Mass adoption of the Internet is driving one of the most exciting social, cultural, and political transformations in history, and unlike earlier periods of change, this time the effects are fully global,” Schmidt and Cohen write in their new book The New Digital Age.Perhaps the most profound changes will come when the five billion people worldwide who currently lack Internet access get online. The authors do an excellent job of examining the implications of the Internet revolution for individuals, governments, and institutions like the news media. But if the book has one major shortcoming, it’s that authors don’t spend enough time applying a critical eye to the role of Internet businesses in these sweeping changes.In their book, the authors provide the most authoritative volume to date that describes —and more importantly predicts — how the Internet will shape our lives in the coming decades. They paint a picture of a world in which individuals, companies, institutions, and governments must deal with two realities, one physical, and one virtual.At the core of the book is the idea that “technology is neutral, but people aren’t.” By using this concept as a starting point, the authors aim to move beyond the now familiar optimist vs. pessimist dichotomy (对立观点) that has characterized many recent debates about whether the rise of the Internet will ultimately be good or bad for society. In an interview with TIME earlier this week, Cohen said although he and his co-author are optimistic about many aspects of the Internet, they’re also realis tic about the risks and dangers that lie ahead when the next five billion people come online, particularly with respect to personal privacy and state surveillance(监视).8. In what way is the rise of the Internet similar to the invention of the printing press and the telegraph?A. It transforms human history.B. It revolutionizes people's thinking.C. It is adopted by all human beings.D. It makes daily communication easy.9. In what respect is the book The New Digital Age considered inadequate?A. It lacks an objective evaluation of the role of Internet businessesB. It fails to look into the social implications of the Internet.C. It fails to recognize the impact of the Internet technology.D. It does not address the technical aspects of Internet communication.10 What will the future be like when everybody gets online?A. People don’t have to travel to see the world.B. People will have equal access to information.C. People will be living in two different realities.D. Peopl e don’t have to communicate face to face.11. What does the passage say about the authors of The New Digital Age?A. They leave many questions unanswered concerning the Internet.B. They don’t take sides in analyzing the effects of the Internet.C. They have explored the unknown territories of the virtual world.D. They are optimistic about the future of the Internet revolution.DIn modern society there is a great deal of argument about competition. Some value it highly, believing that it is responsible for social-progress and prosperity. Others say that competition is bad; that it sets one person against another; that it leads to unfriendly relationship between people.I have taught many children who held the belief that their self-worth relied on how well they performed at tennis and other skills. For them, playing well and winning are often life-and-death affairs. In their single-minded pursuit of success, the development of many other human qualities is sadly forgotten.However, while some seem to be lost in the desire to succeed, others take an opposite attitude. In aculture which values only the winner and pays no attention to the ordinary players, they strongly blame competition. Among the most vocal are youngsters who have suffered under competitive pressures from their parents or society. Teaching these young people, I often observe in them a desire to fail. They seem to seek failure by not trying to win or achieve success. By not trying, they always have an excuse: "I may have lost, but it doesn't matter because I really didn't try." What is not usually admitted by themselves is the belief that if they had really tried and lost, that would mean a lot. Such a loss would be a measure of their worth. Clearly, this belief is the same as that of the true competitors who try to prove themselves. Both are based on the mistake belief that-one's self-respect relies on how well one performs in comparison with others. Both are afraid of not being valued. Only as this basic and often troublesome fear begins to dissolve (缓解) can we discover a new meaning in competition.12. What does this text mainly talk about?A. Competition helps to set up self-respect.B. Competition is harmful to personal quality development.C. People hold different opinions about competition.D. Failures are necessary experience in competition.13. Some people favor competition because they think it __.A. builds up a sense of prideB. pushes society forwardC. improves social abilitiesD. develops people's relationship14. The underlined phrase "the most vocal” in Paragraph 3 refers to those whoA. are strongly against competitionB. highly value competitionC. try their best to winD. mostly rely on others for success15. Which viewpoint does the author agree to?A. Self-worth relies on winning.B. Competition leads to unfriendly relationship.C. Fear of failure should be removed in competition.D. Winning should be a life-and-death matter.第二节(共5小题：每小题2分，满分l0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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

AGive it five minutesI used to be a hothead. Whenever anyone said anything, I’d think of a way to disagree. I’d push back hard if something didn’t fit my world-view.It’s like I had to be first with an opinion — a s if being first meant something. But what it really meant was that I wasn’t thinking hard enough about the problem. The faster you react, the less you think. Not always, but often.This came to a head back in 2007. I was speaking at the Business Innovation Factory conference in Providence, RI. So was Richard Saul Wurman. After my talk Richard came up to introduce himself and compliment my talk. That was very generous of him. He certainly didn’t have to do that.And what did I do? I pushed back at him about the talk he gave. While he was making his points on stage, I was taki ng an inventory of the things I didn’t agree with. And when presented with an opportunity to speak with him, I quickly pushed back at some of his ideas. I must haveseemed like such an asshole.His response changed my life. It was a simple thing. He said “Man, give it five minutes.” I asked him what he meant by that? He said, it’s fine to disagree, it’s fine to push back, it’s great to have strong opinions and beliefs, but give my ideas some time to set in before you’re sure you want to argue against them. “Five minutes” represented “think”, not react. He was totally right. I came into the discussion looking to prove something, not learn something.This was a big moment for me.Richard has spent his career thinking about these problems. He’s given it 30 years. And I gave it just a few minutes. Now, certainly he can be wrong and I could be right, but it’s better to think deeply about something first before being so certain you’re right.There’s also a difference between asking questions and pushing back. P ushing back means you already think you know. Asking questions means you want to know. Ask more questions.Learning to think first rather than react quick is a life-long pursuit. It’s tough. I still get hot sometimes when I shouldn’t. But I’m really enjoyi ng all the benefits of getting better.If you aren’t sure why this is important, think about this quote from Jonathan Ive regarding Steve Jobs’ reverence(respect) for ideas:And just as Steve loved ideas, and loved making stuff, he treated the process of creativity with a rare and a wonderful reverence. You see, I think he better than anyone understood that while ideas ultimately can be so powerful, they begin as fragile, barely formed thoughts, so easily missed, so easily compromised, so easily just squished.That’s deep. Ideas are fragile. They often start powerless. They’re barely there, so easy to ignore or skip or miss.There are two things in this world that take no skill: 1. Spending other people’s money and 2. Dismissing an idea.Dismissing an idea i s so easy because it doesn’t involve any work. You can scoff at it. You can ignore it. You can puff some smoke at it. That’s easy. The hard thing to do is protect it, think about it, let it marinate, explore it, riff on it, and try it. The right idea could start out life as the wrong idea.So next time you hear something, or someone, talk about an idea, pitch an idea, or suggest an idea, give it five minutes. Think about it a little bit before pushing back, before saying it’s too hardor it’s too much work.Those things may be true, but there may be another truth in there too: It may be worth it.1. Which of the following best describes the word hothead from the first paragraph?A. SupportiveB. FastC. NervousD. Aggressive2. What did the author do while Richard was talking in the business conference?A. He kept notes for things that he did not agree with.B. He pushed Richard and beat him.C. He was preparing for his own speech.D. He was getting ready to compliment him.3. Which of the following is the reason for quoting Jonathan Ive?A. The author thinks Steve Jobs is the best when it comes to creativity.B. The author is inspired by Steve Job's attitude towards new ideas.C. The author respects Steve Job because he is creative and he likes ideas.D. The author thinks Steve Job has ideas that are strong and powerful and are hard to miss.4. What is the core argument that the author put forward?A. Dismissing ideas is an effortless thing to do so you should always protect ideas carefully.B. The right idea always starts from a wrong idea and you need to protect it from being dismissed.C. One should be careful when it comes to judge a new idea.D. Every idea, whether powerful or fragile, deserves five minutesBBats are impressive creatures. They are known to carry dangerous diseases like SARS without getting sick.So researchers wanted to know: How do bats fight off so many deadly diseases? Learning their secret could help doctors better treat humans who have these diseases, therefore saving millions of lives.To solve this problem, a team of researchers from Australia and China analyzed bat DNA. The scientists studied two kinds of bats—the Australian megabat, known as the flying fox, and the Chinese microbat. The scientists then arranged the bat genome (基因组) in order by comparing their DNA.The researchers now think that the special immunity (免疫性) to illness that bats have may be connected to their ability to fly.Bats are the only mammals (哺乳动物) that can truly fly. Flying uses up a lot of energy. The energy burned for flying produces something in the animal called free radicals (自由基). Free radicals can damage DNA and lead to diseases such as cancer.However, bats are not affected by free radicals produced during flight. The reason is that bats carry special genes to repair any damaged DNA.Scientists think that because bats fly and produce free radicals, they’ve evolved to carry genes that shaped their special immune system.“We’re thinking that the evolution of flight led to a sort of effect, influencing not only the immune system but also things like aging and cancer,” says Chris Cowled, of the Australian Animal Health Laboratory. “We think we’ve really found something special.”Researchers believe that this discovery might one day be key to helping humans fight diseases such as cancer that attack the immune system and damage DNA.5. What’s true about bats according to the passage?A. They carry many deadly diseases like SARS so it’s easy for them to get sick.B. Bats are the only animals that can tell directions easily.C. Bats are among the mammals that can truly fly.D. Researchers studied bats to help save people.6. According to researchers, bats can fight off many deadly diseases mainly because ________.A. they have developed special immune system through evolutionB. they are able to fly, which burns a lot of energyC. free radicals in their bodies can damage DNA and cause diseasesD. they carry no special genes to repair damaged DNA7. The passage is mainly about ________.A. bats and dangerous diseasesB. bats and their special immune systemC. free radicals and immune systemD. ways to cure cancerCThroughout history there have always been people who can make other people laugh. Early clowns (小丑) often both annoyed and delighted audiences with their comments and songs. Theywere not the silent performers seen in today’s circus rings (马戏场). Clowns lost their voices when the large three-ring circuses made it impossible for the audience to hear them.Circus clowns give performances in various ways. Walk-around clowns use an animal or something as part of their performance. A carpet clown moves around, talking with the audience and performing while the acts change in the rings. Then there are acrobatic clowns, riding clowns, juggling clowns and others.Everything a clown does looks easy, but it’s not. Making people laugh can be hard work. Clowns must be in good physical condition to prevent injuries. Each funny move is carefully timed and well-practiced. Most clowns have also been trained as acrobats, jugglers or aerial artists, and many include such skills into their acts.Generally, there are three categories of circus clowns—whiteface, auguste and character. Each has a special makeup style and costume. Each has a typical act as well.The neat whiteface is usually a strict, in-charge character who sets up the punch line (the point of a joke) for the joke with a partner who is typically an auguste. His facial features are neatly detailed in red or black, and his costumes look so loose with a ruffle around the neck.Auguste clown got his name from a German nickname for someone who is clumsy. The auguste wears light-colored makeup, but white is used around the mouth and eyes, and there’s a big red nose. This clown performs a great deal of humor. An oversized suit or baggy trousers allow free movement for all the clumsy acts. He also wears big shoes.Character clowns perform as different personalities—cowboys, grandmothers or concert conductors. The most famous character clown, however, is the tramp. Tramps wear different styles of makeup and torn costumes. Some tramp clowns are happy-go-lucky. Others are extremely sad. Still others act like gentlemen who just happen to be out of money.Clowns have a long and interesting history and use serious techniques. However, the children and adults at the circus don’t need to know these facts to get ready for fun when they hear “Bring in the clowns!”8.

It is hardly a problem that most of us have to bother — as much as we might like to dream that it were the case.Yet the blessings and curses of beauty have been a long-standing interest in psychology. Do those blessed with shiny faces and an attractive body live in a cloud of appreciation — or does it sometimes pay to be ordinary?Combing through decades of findings, social psychologists Lisa Slattery Walker and Tonya Frevert at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte have reviewed all the evidence to date and their conclusions are not what you might expect.At the most basic level, beauty might be thought to carry a kind of halo(光环) around it; we see that someone has one good quality, and by association, our deep mind may assume that they have other good ones too.Even in the courts, a pleasing appearance can work its magic. Attractive criminals are likely to get less strict sentences, or to escape punishment entirely; attractive plaintiffs(原告), meanwhile, are more likely to win their case and get bigger financial settlements. “It’s an effect seen everywhere,” says Walker.But if beauty pays in most circumstances, there are still situations where it can have opposite results. While attractive men may be considered better leaders, for instance, hidden sexist prejudices(偏见) can work against attractive women, making them less likely to be hired for high-level jobs that require power. And as you might expect, good-looking people of both sexesrun into envy — one study found that if you are interviewed by someone of the same sex, they may be less likely to employ you if they judge that you are more attractive than they are.More worryingly, being beautiful or handsome could harm your medical care. We tend to link good looks to health, meaning that illnesses are often taken less seriously when they affect the good-looking. When treating people for pain, for instance, doctors tend to take less care over the more attractive people.And the bubble of beauty can be a somewhat lonely place. One study in 1975, for instance, found that people tend to move further away from a beautiful woman on the pathway — perhaps as a mark of respect, but still making interaction more distant. “Attr activeness can convey more power over visible space —but that in turn can make others feel they can’t approach that person,” says Frevert. Interestingly, the online dating website OKCupid recently reported that people with the most beautiful pictures are less likely to find dates than those with less perfect pictures.Ultimately, Frevert points out that focusing too much on your appearance can itself be harmful if it creates stress and anxiety —even for those already blessed with good looks. “If you are crazy about attractiveness, it may affect your experience and interactions,” she says. It’s an outdated saying, but no amount of beauty can make up for a bad personality. As the writer Dorothy Parker put it so elegantly: “Beauty is only skin deep, but ugly goes clean to the bone.”12.
