2017年高考押题卷 英语(二)
2017年高考押题卷英语（二）第二部分阅读理解第一节AWith exams just around the corner, now is a good time to explore some of UCL’s lesser-known study spaces and get down to some revision. Here are some good choices for you.UCL Senate House HubUCL Senate House Hub opene d in 2015 and provides 144 study spaces. What’s more, you can check how many spaces are available online before you head to the hub! Located on the third floor of the South Block of Senate House, the center has room for individual and group study in traditional library spaces, as well as casual arm chairs and bar-style desks.UCL Eastman Dental LibraryThe newly refurbished UCL Eastman Dental Library is located halfway along Gray’s Inn Road and is open from Monday to Friday, 9:00 am–8:00 pm. The library has 72 study spaces, and many IT facilities are available. The library also has a study room for meetings and a computer room with an interactive whiteboard.UCL Language & Speech Science LibraryUCL Language & Speech Science Library (LaSS) has disabled access and has recently been refurbished to add extra study spaces. With only 49 spaces, LaSS is smaller than most other UCL Libraries and tends to fill up relatively quickly, so get there early to avoid disappointment.Senate House LibraryThis one may be cheating as the Senate House Library is not technically a UCL library. However, all UCL students and staff can register for free membership online. With millions of books and journals, Senate House Library offers some places a little less used by UCL students but perfect for getting down to some hard work.21. The four places are mainly introduced to someone who __________.A. loves readingB. is preparing for examsC. likes learning onlineD. prefers to study in libraries22. What should students do online before they go to UCL Senate House Hub?A. Make an appointment in advance.B. Check the library’s opening hours.C. Check whether there are available seats.D. Check whether there are available armchairs.23. How many libraries may offer Internet services?A. One.B. Two.C. Three.D. Four.24. What can be inferred from the passage?A. UCL Senate House Hub has the long est history.B. Senate House Library is not used by UCL students.C. The disabled have no access to all the four libraries.D. LaSS may be the smallest one among the four li braries.BKathy Fletcher and David Simpson have a son named Santi. He had a friend who sometimes went to school hungry. So Santi invited him to occasionally eat and sleep at his house.That friend had a friend and that friend had a friend, and now when you go to dinner at Kathy and David’s house on Thursday night there might be 15 to 20 teenagers gathering around the table, and later there will be groups of them crashing in the basement or in the few small bedrooms upstairs. The kids who show up at Kathy and David’s have suffered the pains of modern poverty: homelessness, hunger, abuse.And yet by some miracle, hostile soil has produced beautiful flowers. Kids come from around the city. Spicy chicken and black rice are served. Cellphones are banned. The kids who call Kathy and David ―Momma‖ and ―Dad,‖ are polite and clear the dishes. Birthdays and graduations are celebrated. Songs are performed. Each meal we go around the table and everybody has to say something nobody else knows about them. Each meal the kids show their promise to care for one another.The adults in this community give the kids the chance to present their gifts. ―At my first dinner, Edd read a poem that I first thought was from Langston Hughes, but it turned out to be his own. Kesari has a voice that somehow appeared from New Orleans jazz from the 1920s. Madeline and Thalya practice friendship as if it were the highest art form.‖―They give us a gift — complete intolerance of social distance. When I first met Edd, I held out my hand to shake his. He looked at it and said, ―We hug here,‖ and we’ve been hugging since.‖Bill Milliken, a veteran youth activist, is often asked which programs turn aro und kids’ lives. ―I still haven’t seen one program change one kid’s life,‖ he says. ―What changes people is relationships. Somebody is willing to walk through the shadow of the valley of adolescence with them.‖ Souls are not saved in bundles. Love is the necessary force.25. Why do kids come to Kathy and David’s house on Thursdays?A. To help the homeless at first hand.B. To experience the feeling of home.C. To learn about the modern poverty.D. To plant beautiful flowers in poor soil.26. Why isn’t the use of cell phones allowed at Thursday dinners?A. Kids need to tell stories about themselves.B. Kids are expected to care more for each other.C. Kids have to do house chores around the home.D. Kids prepare songs for birthdays and graduations.27. What gift did the writer get at a Thursday dinner?A. The practice of the art form.B. The pleasure of enjoying jazz.C. The chance to listen to poems.D. The zero distance between souls.28. What does Bill mean in his words?A. Love is the power to change a kid’s life.B. Money is needed to start programs for kids.C. A program can change a group of kid’s lives.D. Kids change their relationships in a program.CDo you like eating processed meat? If you do, think twice now if you want to eat such meat for the sake of your health. Why? It’s because eating processed meat can cause cancer, World Health Organization (WHO) experts said last Monday.Processed meat is meat that has been preserved by salting, smoking, drying or canning. Experts from the WHO’s International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) in Lyon, France studies 800 patients. The experts connected processed meat, such as hot dogs and bacon, with at least three kinds of cancer. A person who eats 50 grams of processed meat per day—about two pieces of bacon—increases his or her risk of bowel(肠) cancer by 18 percent.[来源:Z_xx_]The IARC has included processed meat in its Group 1 list, for which there is ―enough evidence‖of connection with cancer. Tobacco is also on the Group 1 list.WHO experts also say red meat, including beef, lamb and pork, is ―probably‖carcinogenic (致癌的) to humans. Dr. Kurt Strait is with the IARC. He said in a statement that the risk of cancer increases with the amount of meat a pers on eats. Health experts in some countries advised against eating large amounts of red and processed meat. But those suggestions had been centered on the increased risk of heart disease and obesity.However, meat industry groups protest the result of the WHO study. They say that meat is part of a balanced diet. They also say the causes of cancer are broad, and include environment and lifestyle factors.The WHO report cites the Global Burden of Disease project, which shows that diets high in processed meat lead to 34,000 cancer deaths per year worldwide.29. It can be inferred that the items on the Group 1 list of the IARC ________.A. are all processed foodsB. aren’t often eaten by peopleC. can be the most dangerous to humansD. can greatly increase the risk of cancer30. What can take the place of the underlined word ―protest‖?A. Learn from.B. Disagree with.C. Take interest in.D. Pay attention to.31. What can be used as the best title of the passage?A. WHO: Processed Meat Can Cause CancerB. The Importance of Having a Balanced DietC. Eating Too Much Red Meat Is Bad for HumansD. Scientists Found the Causes of Some Kinds of CancerDIf you want to convince the boss you deserve a pay rise or promotion, the solution could be simple—eat the same food as they do. Psychologists have discovered managers are much more likely to instantly trust us if we choose the same dishes as them.[来源:Z_xx_]During experiments, discussions over wages and work conditions were much more successful if both sides chose to snack on the same treats. And shoppers were much more likely to buy a product advertised on TV by someone eating a similar food to them at the time.The reason is thought to be so-called similarity attraction theory – w here people tend to like others who have similar tastes or habits to themselves. But this is believed to be one of the first studies highlighting the role of food in this relationship. Researchers at Chicago University in the US conducted a series of experiments to examine food’s role in earning trust.In a test, participants were told to watch TV –where someone pretending to be a member of the public praised a certain product. The volunteers were given Kit Kat bars to nibble, while the TV people ate either a KitKat or grapes as they talked.The results showed viewers were much more likely to express an interest in buying the product if the TV showed the other person eating a Kit Kat too.The researchers added, ―Although similarity in food consumption is not a sign of whether two people will get along, we find consumers treat this as such. They feel more trusting of those who consume as they do. It means people can immediately begin to feel friendship and develop a bond, leading to smoother transactions from the start.’Harley Street psychologist Dr Lucy Atcheson said it was already known that wearing similar clothes could instantly create trust. But this was the first report that food had the same effect. She said, ―This is really interesting. It makes sense as people feel they have common ground and can trust the other person. That means negotiations are more likely to be successful.32. According to the passage, customers are likely to buy a product from a dealer who______.A. has the same taste as themB. advertises his products on TVC. reduces the price of his productsD. pays attention to the quality of his products33. The experiments conducted by researchers at Chicago University show that ______.A. food plays an important role in earning people’s trustB. bosses like employees that have the same taste as themC. people who have similar tastes to their boss’s earn moreD. people have less interest in buying products advertised on TV34. What can be inferred from the passage?A. People who eat similar food are more likely to trust each other.B. People will get along with each other if they like to eat similar things.C. The effect of wearing similar clothes hasn’t been proved by researchers.D. People are more likely to make friends with those wearing the same clothes as them.35. Which of th e following sayings can be an example of the similarity attraction theory?A. Honesty is the best policy.B. All good things come to an end.C. Birds of a feather flock together.D. Where there is a will, there is a way.第二节We all know that being grateful and appreciative is very beneficial. ____36____ Gratitude belongs to the category of advanced life skills because it can completely transform your life.Help others turn away from negativity.

I pulled it into a garage and the young mechanic fied it in just a few minutes. He new what was wrong by simply listening to the engine sound. I was amaed. The sad truth is that great talent is not enough.I am constantly shoced at how little talented people earn. I heard the other day that lessthan 5 percent of Americans earn more than $100，000 a year. A business consultant who specialies in the medical trade told me how many doctors and dentists struggle financially. It was this business consultant who gave me the phrase，“They are one sill away from great wealth.”There is an old saying that goes，“JOB means ‘Just Over Broe’”.And unfortunately，I would say that the saying applies to millions of people. Because schools do not thin financial intelligence is intelligence，most worers “live within their means”.They wor and they pay the bills. Instead I recommend that young people see wor for what they will learn，more than what they will earn.When I as the classes I teach，“How many of you can coo a better hamburger than McDonald's？” almost all the students raise their h ands. I then as，“So if most of you can coo a better hamburger，how come McDonald's maes more money than you？” The answer is obvious McDonald's is ecellent at business systems. The world is filled with talented poor people. They focus on perfecting their sills at building a better hamburger rather than the sills of selling and delivering the hamburger.25. The author mentions the mechanic in the first paragraph to show that .A. he is just one of the talented peopleB. he is ready to help othersC. he has a sharp sense of hearingD. he nows little about car repairing26.The underlined part in the third paragraph can be best replaced by“”.A. spend more than they can affordB. do in their own wayC. live in their own circleD. live within what they earn27. Why do talented people earn so little according to the author?A. They don't wor hard enough.B. They lac financial intelligence.C. They don't mae full use of their talents.D. They have no specialied sills.28. The main purpose of the author is to tell us .A. how young people can find a satisfactory jobB. what schools should teach about financeC. why so many talented people are poorD. how McDonald's maes much moneyCRegarded as one of the English language’s most gifted poets, John eats wrote poetry that concentrated on imagery, human nature, and philosophy. Although eats didn’t receive much formal literary education, his own studies and passion brought him much success. Additionally, his own life situation influenced his poetry greatly.Growing up as a young boy in London in a lower middle-class family, the young John didn’t attend a private school, but went to a public one. His teachers and his family’s friends regarded him as an optimistic boy who favored playing and fighting much more than minding his studies. After his father’s death in the early 1800s, followed by his mother’s passing due to tuberculosis (肺结核), he began viewing life differently. He wanted to escape the world and did so by reading anything he could get his hands on.At around the age of 16, the teenage John eats began studying under a surgeon so that he too might become a doctor. However, his literary appetite had taen too much of his fancy, especially with his addiction to the poetry of Ehmund Spenser. He was able to have his first full poem published in the Eaminer in 1816, entitled O Solitude! If I Must With Thee Dwell. Within two months in 1817, eats had written an entire volume of poetry, but was sharply criticied by a magaine. However, the negative response didn’t stop his pursuit of rhythm (韵律).John eats’ net wor was Endymion, which was published in May 1818. The story involves a shepherd who falls in love with the moon goddess and leads him on an adventure of one boy’s hope to overcome the limitations of being human. Following Endymion, however, he tried something more narrative-based and wrote Isabella. During this time, John eats began seeing his limitations in poetry due to his own limit in life eperiences. He would have to have the “nowledge” associated with his poems. His net wor was Hyperion that would attempt to combine all that he learned. However, a bout (发作) with tuberculosis while visiting Italy would eep him from his wor and eventually tae his life in 1821.29. John eats’ attitude towards life changed because of _________.A. his early education from schoolB. the deaths of his parentsC. Edmund Spenser’s poetryD. the criticism of a magaine30. What is the common thing between John eats and his mother?A. They died of the same disease.B. They had a bad childhoodC. They read many boos.D. They showed strong interest in poetry31. While pursuing his dream of becoming a poet first, John eats was _________.A. determinedB. eperiencedC. nowledgeableD. impatient32. What do we now from the passage?A. eats received little education at school.B. eats once had a chance of becoming a doctor.C. In 1816 eats spent two months writing a poem.D. Endymion was about a real love story.DEveryone nows that death is natural, but do you have any idea of the process of dying? Modern scientists divide the process of dying into two phases---clinical or temporary death and biological death. Clinical death occurs when the vital organs, such as the heart or lungs, have ceased to function, but have not suffered permanent damage. The organism can still berevived(复活). Biological death occurs when changes in the organism lead to the “breaing up” of vital cells and tissues. Death is then unchangeable and final.Scientists have been seeing a way to prolong the period of clinical death so that the organism can remain alive before biological death occurs. The best method developed so far involves cooling of the organism, co mbined with narcotic sleep. By slowing down the body’s metabolism(新陈代谢), cooling delays the processes leading to biological death.To illustrate how this wors, scientists performed an eperiment on a si-year-old female money called eta. The scientist put eta to sleep with a narcotic. Then they surrounded her body with ice-bags and began checing her body temperature. When it had dropped to 28 degrees the scientists began draining blood from an artery. The money’s blood pressure decreased and an hour later both the heart and breathing stopped clinical death set in. For twenty minutes eta remained in this state. Her temperature dropped to 22 degrees. At this point the scientists pumped blood into an artery in the direction of the heart and started artificial br eathing. After two minutes eta’s heart became active once more. After fifteen minutes, spontaneous(自发的)breathing began, and after four hours eta opened her eyes and lifted her head. After si hours, when the scientists tried to give her a penicillin injection, eta seied the syringe and ran with it around the room. Her behavior differed little from that of a healthy animal.33. Scientists try to mae the time of clinical death longer in order to _________A. cool the organism.B. delay the coming of biological death.C. slow down the body’s metabolism.D. bring vital cells and tissues bac to active life.34. How did the scientists put eta into clinical death?A. By putting her to sleep, lowering her temperature and draining her blood.B. By surrounding her body with ice-bags and draining her blood.C. By lowing her blood pressure and stopping her heart from beating.D. By draining her blood, lowering her blood pressure and stopping her breathing.35.All of the following indicate that the money has almost restored to her original physical state ecept the fact that _________A. her heart beat again.B. she rejected a penicillin injection.C. she regained her normal breath.D. she acted as lively as a healthy money.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。

Which is the best convenient time to travel by Sydney Trains?A. At midnight.B. On Sunday afternoon.C. Between midnight and 400 a.m.D. At 600 p.m. on Wednesday.BThe world is filled with smart，educated and gifted people. We meet them every day. A few days ago，my car was not running well. I pulled it into a garage and the young mechanic fied it in just a few minutes. He new what was wrong by simply listening to the engine sound. I was amaed. The sad truth is that great talent is not enough.I am constantly shoced at how little talented people earn. I heard the other day that lessthan 5 percent of Americans earn more than $100，000 a year. A business consultant who specialies in the medical trade told me how many doctors and dentists struggle financially. It was this business consultant who gave me the phrase，“They are one sill away from great wealth.”There is an old saying that goes，“JOB means ‘Just Over Broe’”.And unfortunately，I would say that the saying applies to millions of people. Because schools do not thin financial intelligence is intelligence，most worers “live within their means”.They wor and they pay the bills. Instead I recommend that young people see wor for what they will learn，more than what they will earn.When I as the classes I teach，“How many of you can coo a better hamburger than McDonald's？” almost all the students raise their h ands. I then as，“So if most of you can coo a better hamburger，how come McDonald's maes more money than you？” The answer is obvious McDonald's is ecellent at business systems. The world is filled with talented poor people. They focus on perfecting their sills at building a better hamburger rather than the sills of selling and delivering the hamburger.25. The author mentions the mechanic in the first paragraph to show that .A. he is just one of the talented peopleB. he is ready to help othersC. he has a sharp sense of hearingD. he nows little about car repairing26.The underlined part in the third paragraph can be best replaced by“”.A. spend more than they can affordB. do in their own wayC. live in their own circleD. live within what they earn27. Why do talented people earn so little according to the author?A. They don't wor hard enough.B. They lac financial intelligence.C. They don't mae full use of their talents.D. They have no specialied sills.28. The main purpose of the author is to tell us .A. how young people can find a satisfactory jobB. what schools should teach about financeC. why so many talented people are poorD. how McDonald's maes much moneyCRegarded as one of the English language’s most gifted poets, John eats wrote poetry that concentrated on imagery, human nature, and philosophy. Although eats didn’t receive much formal literary education, his own studies and passion brought him much success. Additionally, his own life situation influenced his poetry greatly.Growing up as a young boy in London in a lower middle-class family, the young John didn’t attend a private school, but went to a public one. His teachers and his family’s friends regarded him as an optimistic boy who favored playing and fighting much more than minding his studies. After his father’s death in the early 1800s, followed by his mother’s passing due to tuberculosis (肺结核), he began viewing life differently. He wanted to escape the world and did so by reading anything he could get his hands on.At around the age of 16, the teenage John eats began studying under a surgeon so that he too might become a doctor. However, his literary appetite had taen too much of his fancy, especially with his addiction to the poetry of Ehmund Spenser.

绝密★启用前2017年高考原创押题卷（二）英语试题试卷副标题考试范围：xxx ；考试时间：27分钟；命题人：xxx学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________注意事项．1．答题前填写好自己的姓名、班级、考号等信息 2．请将答案正确填写在答题卡上第I 卷（选择题）一、阅读理解（题型注释）Most people realize that fast food isn't the healthiest or best-tasting cuisine(菜肴). It is, however, expected to be fast.Many chains like McDonald's have struggled with slower food delivery in recent years, because there are more items on the menu. But the world's largest restaurant chain, which serves 68 million customers daily in 119 countries, is trying to change that.For several months, McDonald's has been testing what's called the “justforyou experience”. In 200 U S restaurants (and more than 2，000 across the globe), customers are able to order directly from a self-serve kiosk(售货亭), after which an employee brings the meal directly to the table.McDonald's chief executive Steve Easterbrook, speaking at a McDonald's in New York's Tribeca neighbourhood on Thursday, said the company has long expected customers to adapt to its business model of ordering at the counter and then waiting to collect their own food. Now, he said, “We're adapting our business around customers.”It showed that “test runs at more than 500 restaurants…showed an increase in foot traffic and试卷第2页，共12页contributed to a mid-single-digit percentage increase in restaurant sales, lifting the 5 to 6 average check by 1, on average.” Customer satisfaction scores also increased, “because families, in particular, appreciat e having their food brought to them.”The company also announced the beginning of a new mobile order-and-pay app, which would allow customers to order and pay for food from their smart phones.Mike, a common customer, said, “As a father of two small childre n, I'm every fast-food chain's target customer. My wife and I try to avoid McDonald's when possible, but like many parents we end up going. I've used the self-serve kiosks and like them a lot: they're easy to use, reduce the pressure of making a choice with impatient customers behind you, and make a big difference in delivery time. I just hope they don't start expecting me to tip.” 1、Why do many chains have a slower food delivery in the past several years? A ．Because they have struggled many expectations. B ．Because they have more dishes to serve people. C ．Because they have the world's largest restaurant chains. D ．Because sometimes they have too many customers.2、How do customers get their food after ordering food self-serve kiosks? A ．By testing McDonald's machine. B ．By taking food by themselves. C ．By letting waiters bring food for them. D ．By letting employees serve for them.3、What's the result of trying “justforyou experience”？ A ．It is a great success. B ．It caused traffic jam.C ．It's well received only by app users.D ．It still needs to be observed.4、What can we infer from what Mike said? A ．His family don't like McDonald's. B ．He's willing to give tips for good service. C ．Self-serve kiosks are a good choice. D ．It's hard for him to spend the delivery time.“Smombies”—people walking while staring at their smart phones—are very real and a growing cause for concern. Tired of having to constantly alert both locals and tourists to pay more attention to their surroundings to avoid serious accidents, authorities of a small German town have come up with a more positive solution—embedding(嵌入) traffic lights in the pavement to make them visible to people constantly looking down at their phones.The seemingly ridiculous safety measure was put in place. Authorities in Augsburg decided to act, installing ground level traffic lights at two tram(有轨电车) stops last Tuesday. The lights flash red every time a tram is approaching, or when the regular traffic light turns red. “We realized that the normal traffic light isn't in the line of sight of many pedestrians these days，” said Tobias Hermes, a city administration official. “So we decided to have an additional set of lights—the more we have, the more people are likely to notice them.”Some Augsburg residents appear to be quite happy with the idea.“I think it makes sense，” Jack Smith said, speaking to TheAugsburgerAllgemeine. “One always sees young people these days running over red lights. This makes it more obvious that you need to stop.”Others, however, found the need for ground traffic lights disturbing and even frightening. “I find it scary that smart phone users are so engrossed that they need to install lights in the ground so that they notice the tram coming，” one person told the loc al paper.But do this kind of pavement-embedded lights actually work? Well, if one interviewed teenager is to be believed, not really. “To be honest I didn't even notice it，” he told TheAugsburgerAllgemeine. “Maybe it'd be useful at night, but yeah, I didn't realize it was there until just now.”The word “smombie”—a mashup of the words smart phone and zombie—was born in Germany. It was voted “youth word of the year” in 2015, but the serious consequences of this behaviour are no laughing matter.5、Which of t he following about “smombies” is TRUE?A．It refers to people who are fond of walking.B．It refers to people who are looking at phones while walking.C．It refers to people who concern others very much.D．It refers to people who hate locals and tourists.6、Which of the following can replace the underlined word “engrossed” in Paragraph 4? A．Disturbed.B．Frightened.C．Addicted.D．Encouraged.试卷第4页，共12页7、What may be the best title for the text?A ．Ground traffic lights for people looking at smart phonesB ．Effective ways to educate people to obey traffic rulesC ．The meanings of ground traffic lightsD ．The serious problem of traffic safetyI was sitting in a fast food restaurant with my two children, who at the time were about 6 and 9. Inside there was also a group of teens in Gothic(哥特式的) dress and appearance. Everyone kept away from them inside the restaurant.Outside the restaurant, people jumped past the homeless man searching the garbage bin, who was looking for food or perhaps a cigarette. I too had rushed past him with my youngsters, refusing his request for money but thinking maybe, just maybe, I would bring him some food. It turned out that I didn't have to.One girl in the Gothic youth jumped up, went to the counter and ordered more food, which she then took outside to the homeless man and sat on the bench with him, chatting away as he ate. He didn't say much —he was greedy —but I think I saw a bit of a smile and a flash in his eyes as he nodded to her questions.Writing this now, several years later, I still choke up. That girl was a model citizen living the values of goodness and kindness. These are values I have always held high and hoped to teach my kids. She made my job much easier. We stopped by on our way out and thanked her for setting such a positive example for us. I hope that hearing that has made as much of a difference in her life as seeing what she did has made to ours.8、Why did people keep away from the teens in the fast food restaurant? A ．Because they were dressed in Gothic dress. B ．Because they were too young to pay their meal. C ．Because they liked to quarrel with others. D ．Because they killed two children.9、What did the homeless man want the author to do? A ．To help him get money. B ．To bring him some food. C ．To provide him with money.D ．To refuse to take care of him.10、It can be inferred that the homeless man ________. A ．was very greedy in deedB ．was very hungry at that timeC ．didn't like talking with others muchD ．didn't answer the girl's questions11、What can we learn about the author from the passage? A ．The author is also a model citizen like the girl. B ．The author sets a good example for the girl. C ．The author is deeply moved by the girl. D ．The author has sympathy for the girl.WE WILL NEVER FORGETELEPHANT ENDOTHELIOTROPIC HERPESVIRUS (EEHV) IS A DEADLY VIRUS WHICH AFFECTS YOUNG ELEPHANTS GLOBALLY. We want to find a solution to this disease.This complex disease is having a catastrophic(灾难性的) effect on the global conservation of the Asian elephant and we want to find a solution to the problem as soon as possible to stop more elephants from dying from this deadly disease.

D ．By making donations through bank.15、What is the text is meant to?A ．To explain it's difficult to protect Asian elephants.B ．To encourage people to research EEHV.C ．To attract people to save Asian elephants.D ．To introduce something about Asian elephants.二、完形填空（题型注释）As children, our parents had dreams for us.

When the studio didn’t want me for the film— it wanted somebody as well known as Paul—he stood up for me. I don’t know how many people would have done that; they would have listened to their agents or the studio powers.The friendship that grew out of the experience of making that film and The Sting four years later had its root in the fact that although there was an age difference, we both came from a tradition of theater and live TV. We were respectful of craft（技艺）and focused on digging into the characters we were going to play. Both of us had the qualities and virtues that are typicalof American actors: humorous, aggressive, and making fun of each other— but always with an underlying affection. Those were also at the core （核心）of our relationship off the screen.We shared the brief that if you’re fortunate enough to have success, you should put something back—he with his Newman’s Own food and his Hole in the Wall camps for kids who are seriously ill, and me with Sundance and the institute and the festival. Paul and I didn’t see each other all that regularly, zxx.k but sharing that brought us together. We supported each other financially and by showing up at events.I last saw him a few months ago. He’d been in and out of the hospital.He and I both knew what the deal was,and we didn’t talk about it.Ours was a relationship that didn’t need a lot of words.24.Why was the studio unwilling to give the role to author at first?A.Paul Newman wanted it.B.The studio powers didn’t like his agent.C.He wasn’t famous enough.D.The director recommended someone else.25.Why did Paul and the author have a lasting friendship?A.They were of the same dge.B.They worked in the same theater.C.They were both good actors.D.They han similar charactertics.26.What does the underlined word “that” in paragraph 3 refer to?A.Their belief.B.Their care for chileden.C.Their success.D.Their support for each other.27.What is the author’s purpose in writing the test?A.To show his love of films.B.To remember a friend.C.To introduce a new movie.D.To share his acting experience.24--27 CDAB21.细节理解题。

AI remember the first time that I was extremely happy. I wasabout 8 years old when for the first time, there was a computer in the classroom. I remember that my teacher allowed each student to take turns to play various educational games on the computer. One day, I found the source code(编码)for one of these games. Without knowing or being taught any programming language, I was able to figure out some of the BASIC code. I just gave myself an infinite number of lives in the game, so I could continue playing it forever. This was also my first introductionto algebra, and I didn't even know it at the time. This was a decisive moment in my life. I was quite excited because of what I was learningand what I was able to do. As a result, I was enthusiastic for the rest of my life about self learning and computers, and I was quite happydoing them too.I've noticed that people who are truly content with life are enthusiastic about what they do. This enthusiasm, along with good health, is the key to being happy. It also leads to self-confidence and content in life too. It may also lead to success, wealth, and achievements.Success, wealth, or achievements can also bring some people happiness, yet I know plenty of rich people who are unhappy. I know many people with successful businesses that are not happy with what they are doing. I know people who continuously buy themselves new toys, such as cars, computers, and televisions, yet never seem content for too long. Please remember, happiness is the journey of life, not the destination.21. What can we know from Paragraph 1?A. The author has a great talent for algebra.B. Creative thinking is necessary for every child.C. The BASIC code of the computer is not difficult.D. The author's experience in his childhood changed his life.22. The underlined word "infinite" means .A. bigB. limitlessC. normalD. small23. The author wants to tell us through his experience in the school thatA. interest is the best teacherB. children are the hope of the futureC. young people are fearlessD. where there's a will, there's a way24. We can infer from the last paragraph that .A. people who are rich and successful in career generally feel unhappyB. wealth can't bring people any happiness and comfortC. one will feel unhappy once he has gained all the things that he wantsD. being enthusiastic about what you do is more important than wealthBParents should stop blaming themselves because there’s not a lot they can do about it. I mean the teenager problem. Whatever you do or however you choose to deal with it, at certain times a wonderful, reasonable and helpful child will turn into a terrible animal.I've seen friends deal with it in all kinds of different ways. One strict mother insisted that her son, right from a child, should stand up whenever anyone entered the room, open doors and shake hands like a gentleman. I saw him last week when I called round. Sprawling (懒散地躺))himself on the sofa in full length, he made no attempt to turn off the loud TV he was watching as I walked in, and his greeting was no more than a quick glance at me. His mother was ashamed. “I don’t knowwhat to do with him these days,” she said. “He’s forgotten all the manners we taught him.” He hasn’t forgotten them. He’s just decided that he’s not going to use them. She confessed (坦白 ) that she would like to come up behind him and throw him down from the sofa onto the floor.Another good friend of mine let her two daughters climb all over the furniture, reach across the table, stare at me and say, “I don’t like your dress; it’s ugly. ” One of the daughters has recently been driven out of school. The other has left home.“Where did we go wrong?” Her parents are now very sad. Probably nowhere much. At least, no more than the rest of that unfortunate race, parents.25. This passage is most probably written by_________.A. a specialist in teenager studiesB. a headmaster of a middle schoolC. a parent with teenage childrenD. a doctor for mental health problems26. The underlined word “it” in the second paragraph refersto________.A. the change from good to bad that's seen in a childB. the way that parents often blame themselvesC. the opinion that a child has of his parentsD. the advice that parents want their children to follow27. From the second example we can infer that the parents of the two daughters _________.A. pay no attention to themB. are too busy to look after themC. have come to hate themD. feel helpless to do much about them28. What is the author’s opinion about the sudden change in teenage children?A. Parents have no choice but to try to accept it.B. Parents should pay still more attention to the change.C. Parents should work more closely with school teachers.D. Parents are at fault for the change in their children.CLife in the ClearTransparent animals let light pass through their bodies the same way light passes through a window. These animals typically live between the surface of the ocean and a depth of about 3,300 feet—as far as most light can reach. Most of them are extremely delicate and can be damaged by a simple touch. Sonke Johnsen, a scientist in biology, says, “These animals live through their life alone. They never touch anything unless they’re eating it, or unless something is eating them.”And they are as clear as glass. How does an animal become see-through? It’s trickier than you might think.The objects around you are visible because they interact with light. Light typically travels in a straight line. But some materials slow and scatter(散射) light, bouncing it away from its original path. Others absorb light, stopping it dead in its tracks. Both scattering and absorption make an object look different from other objects around it, so you can see it easily.But a transparent object doesn’t absorb or scatter light, at least not very much, Light can pass through it without bending orsto pping. That means a transparent object doesn’t look very different from the surrounding air or water. You don’t see it—you see the things behind it.To become transparent, an animal needs to keep its body from absorbing or scattering light. Living materials can stop light because they contain pigments(色素) that absorb specific colors of light. But a transparent animal doesn’t have pigments, so its tissues won’t absorb light. According to Johnsen, avoiding absorption is actually easy. The real challenge is preventing light from scattering.Animals are built of many different materials—skin, fat, and more—and light moves through each at a different speed. Every timelight moves into a material with a new speed, it bends and scatters. Transparent animals use different tricks to fight scattering. Some animals are simply very small or extremely flat. Without much tissue to scatter light, it is easier to be see—through. Others build a large, clear mass of non-living jelly-lie(果冻状的) material and spread themselves over it .Larger transparent animals have the biggest challenge, because they have to make all the different tissues in their bodies slow down light exactly as much as water does. They need to look uniform. But how they’re doing it is still unknown. One thing is clear for these larger animals, staying transparent is an active process. When they die, they turn a non-transparent milky white.29.According to Paragraph 1, transparent animals _______.A. stay in groupsB. can be easily damagedC. appear only in deep oceanD. are beautiful creatures30.The underlined word “dead” in Paragraph 3 means __________.A. silentlyB. graduallyC. regularlyD. completely31.One way for an animal to become transparent is to ________.A. change the direction of light travelB. gather materials to scatter lightC. avoid the absorption of lightD. grow bigger to stop light32.The last paragraph tells us that larger transparent animals ________.A. move more slowly in deep waterB. stay see-through even after deathC. produce more tissues for their survivalD. take effective action to reduce light spreadingDDid you know that a bowl of rice could save your iPod if youdrop it in a swimming pool by accident? Or that the camera on your phone could tell you what's wrong with your TV remote control? The experts at Geek Squad () have made a gadget(小机件) rescue guide. So, let’s take a look at some of their useful advice.How to get more juice out of your phone battery?If your battery goes dead but you need to get a number or send one last text, try warming it up. That may give you a tiny bit of power. Take the battery from the phone and rub it between your hands. Or warmit under your arm for a few minutes. Then try to start the phone – but use it quickly.What to do if your gadget gets wet?First, try drying it out with a vacuum cleaner. If a vacuum cleaner isn’t at hand, fill a pot or bowl with uncooked rice and put your we gadget inside. The dry, uncooked rice will absorb all the water and, after a few hours, you should be able to use the gadget. Don’t forget to remove the battery and SIM card before you dry it.What to do if your TV remote control stops working?If replacing the batteries doesn’t work, get the camerafunction up on your phone and point the remote at the lens(镜头). When you press a button on the remote, if it's working then the glassbobble(小球) at the front of the remote will light up when you look atit on the screen of your phone. This is because the screen on a phone or digital camera picks up infrared rays (红外线), even though your eyesdon't. If the glass bobble doesn’t light up, the remote is broken. Ifit does, the receiving device is broken.33. If your cell phone falls into a sink, you can .A. warm it up under your arm.B. put it into the uncooked rice.C. press it with both of your hands.D. remove the battery after you dry it.34.Why can a phone be used to prove the TV remote control works well?A. Because it can receive infrared ray.B. Because it can reflect infrared ray.C. Because it can improve the TV remote control.D. Because it can picture the TV remote control.35. In which section of a newspaper can we possibly read this text?A. EntertainmentB. FinanceC. CultureD. Life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。

A ·If you’re new to San Francisco，paying the city a visit，or simply looking for a new playground for you and your dog，here are four of the finest dog parks in San Francisco．◆Corona Heights Dog ParkOften visited by residents from a11 over the city because of its nearness to the Randall Museum，Corona Heights Dog Park offers pets and owners breathtaking views，after a steep hillside climb，and a fenced dog area that allows dogs to let loose without a leash(狗链)．Owners will also enjoy the playground，tennis courts and basketball courts．◆Dolores Dog ParkThe grounds of Dolores Park once served as camps for those who were left homeless by the 1906 earthquake，but now often visited by crowds of Mission District people．Four—legged friends can also wander about carefree off—leash while making friends with other members of the doggie community．◆Pine Lake Dog ParkNoteworthy for its place as a rest stop for hundreds of species of birds to fly to and from warmer climates，Pine Lake Park is also prized by city dogs and their owners for their nice hikingpaths，picturesque lake suited for swimming，and an off-leash area on the park’s west end that lets dogs run free．◆Buena Vista Dog ParkAt 146 years young，Buena Vista Park is San Francisco’s oldest park．Dogs and owners with plus energy will love burning it on this park’s steep paths and winding staircases. Dog owners should have good control over their dogs，as it’s quite easy for dogs to get separated when going through Buena Vista’s many twists and turns．21．Why do dog owners take their pets to Dolores Dog Park?A．To 1et them socialize．B．To give them rescue lessons．C．To help them lose weight．D．To increase their physical activities·22．Which dog park is popular with bird lovers?A．Corona Heights Dog Park．B．Dolores Dog Park．C．Pine Lake Dog Park．D．Buena Vista Dog Park．23．What is special about Buena Vista Dog Park?A．It is suitable for swimming．B．It is close to a museum．C．Dogs must be on a leash．D．Dogs can go climbing·BWhen Gitanjali Rao shared how she likes“finding solutions to real problems"，it was hard to imagine this dynamic 11一year—old girl could settle a problem that has escaped scientists for years.In just three months，Rao came up with a device(装置)that can replace the costly and lengthy tests currently used to reliably determine lead levels in our fresh water．Inspired by the current litigation(诉讼)in Flint，Michigan，a case of water pollution from 2014 to 2015，Rao designed a new testing system that resulted in her being named America’s Top Young Scientist for 2017．Rao had been following the water problem for about two years．She was amazed by the number of people affected by lead pollution in water and wanted to do something to change this. Gitanjali spent months trying to convince local high schools and colleges to give her lab time to continue her experiment. At home, Gitanjali worked on her project in the“science room”she parents to create for her. Rao has created a device that uses three parts: a cartridge, a Bluetooth reader and an app. To put it simply, the cartridge contains carbon nanotubes(纳米管)that react tolead. This reaction is then registered by the Bluetooth reader, which sends a signal to a mobile app that can tell you immediately if your water is safe to drink.Rao appropriately named the device Tethys after the Greek goddess of fresh water, and is hoping to make a little improvement to get the device on the market. While we may not be aware of any lead pollution present in our aging pipelines, lead poisoning can cause delays in physical and mental development. With Rao believing that the“purpose of science is to make a difference”，her incredible invention could make a difference to millions of people in the United States.24．What do we know about Rao’s device?A．It’s cheap and quick．B．It’s cheap and inaccurateC．It’s expensive and reliable．D．It’s portable and time—consuming．25．What made Rao have the idea of designing the device?A．Her parents’ suggestions．B．The name of the Greek goddess．C．Her interest in settling real problems．D．The water pollution litigation in Flint．26．What do the carbon nanotubes function as?A．Sending immediate signals．B．Recording the reaction results．C．Detecting the presence of lead．D．Showing the water quality results．27．What does the author think of Rao’s invention?A．It will lead Rao to make a fortune．B．It will help millions of Americans drink safe water．C．It will promote the development of science in America．D．It will soon settle the lead—polluted problem thoroughly．CImagine j et—setting from Tokyo to Paris，enjoying first—class travel，a four—course dinner and a city tour—all without leaving the ground．This is the future of air travel according to Japanese company First Airlines，which has used the power of virtual reality to create dream vacations．Passengers avoid the costly airport transfer，the baggage fees or busy airport terminal(航站楼)一and instead enjoy the privileges of business or first—class travel and an expensive tour of Paris—all while remaining motionless in Tokyo．As well as Paris，First Airlines also offers thevirtual destinations of New York，Rome and Hawaii．After boarding，guests can settle down for the two—hour flight on their advanced Airbus seat--surrounded by decoration that is modelled on the inside of an aircraft，for maximum realism．There is flight service and VR，foods，music for every destination．Passengers will be served a delicious meal by air stewards，alongside drinks and other desserts．The menu depends on the destination of choice--Manhattan clam chowder and cheesecake for New York and salmon tartar and onion soup for Paris．After landing at the destination，guests can enjoy a 360一degree tour of the destination--all thanks to projection(投影)mapping and video．It makes for a supposedly stress—free vacation，perfect for those whose ability to travel abroad is limited by cost or health．Virtual reality is becoming increasingly present everywhere at all times in the world of travel--allowing travelers to appreciate the wonders of the world，all without leaving their house．·At just 4，980 yen($46)for business class and 5，980 yen($56)for first class-these two-hour flights are far more affordable than their real—life flights．Tokyo citizens eager to experience First Airlines can book a trip on the website，with reservations currently being taken until May 2018．28．What can we learn about the future of air travel from Tokyo to Paris?A．It is high-flying．B．It is money-saving．C．It is power—wasting．D．It is time-consuming．29．When can passengers enjoy the beauty of the destination?A．Upon arrival．B．During the flight．C．After boarding the plane．D．On getting off the plane．30．The flight is perfect for travelers who______.A．do little physical exercise B．work under great pressureC．desire to travel a long distance D．have health or money troubles31．What can be the best title for the text?A．A Scientific Fantasy B．The Power of Virtual RealityC．Japan’s Virtual Air Travel Abroad D．Appreciation of the Global WondersDAs the parent of a 7-year-old boy，sometimes I feel like “no" is my most frequently，said word．But if I look honestly at the big picture of my daily vocabulary，I probably I probably wouldconclude that it actually contains too much “yes”．Saying yes means opening myself up to new experiences，inviting new or deeper relationships．But too much “yes’’ lea ves any of us feeling anxious，overcommited(过分受约束的)and powerless to set and maintain boundaries 1n our lives ．This had been on my mind when The Book of No：365 Ways to Say It and Mean It-and Stop People-Pleasing Forever came across my desk．The new edition of this decade-old book by psychologist Susan Newman is a must-read book for those of us who struggle to say“no”with authenticity, confidence and kindness.Newman calls people who fee forced to say yes all their way through life “people-pleasers”. The chief symptoms of this condition include associating helping others with your self-respect．holding expectations that you will care for others and feeling unwilling to state your own needs when a request comes your way．For people—pleasers，“ye s is the path of least resistance and the way to avoid damaging your relationship with the asker，"Newman writesThe book offers brief dialogues for hundreds of scenarios in which “no’’ is the right，answer, for reasons ranging from time management to financial pressures to emotional．boundaries. Newman an considers what came about among friends，at work，within families and in parenting. Reading through the scenarios, I realized they have some things in common--things that 1mmedlately started helping me improve my "no’' skills．Do you think this book might be helpful to you? It’s OK if the answer is “no”，but I do highly recommend it for your Positive Reading List shelf．32．Why does the author include his own personal experience in Paragraph 1 ?A．To blame himself．B．To show how to guide kids．C．To tell his likes and dislikes．D．To help recommend a book．33．What is mainly talked about in Paragraph 3 ?A．How to deal with a request．B．Why askers turn to others for a favor·C．Why people-pleasers say “yes” too often·D．How to strengthen relationships with askers·34．What does the underlined word“scenarios”probably mean?A．Occasions．B．Processes．C．Adventures．D· Stories·35．What does the author advise us to do?A．Give no response to any demand．B．Learn to say‘‘no’’in a positive way．C．Keep open all channels of communication·D．Say "yes" constantly without feeling guilty．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。

I pulled it into a garage and the young mechanic fied it in just a few minutes. He new what was wrong by simply listening to the engine sound. I was amaed. The sad truth is that great talent is not enough.I am constantly shoced at how little talented people earn. I heard the other day that lessthan 5 percent of Americans earn more than $100，000 a year. A business consultant who specialies in the medical trade told me how many doctors and dentists struggle financially. It was this business consultant who gave me the phrase，“They are one sill away from great wealth.”There is an old saying that goes，“JOB means ‘Just Over Broe’”.And unfortunately，I would say that the saying applies to millions of people. Because schools do not thin financial intelligence is intelligence，most worers “live within their means”.They wor and they pay the bills. Instead I recommend that young people see wor for what they will learn，more than what they will earn.When I as the classes I teach，“How many of you can coo a better hamburger than McDonald's？” almost all the students raise their h ands. I then as，“So if most of you can coo a better hamburger，how come McDonald's maes more money than you？” The answer is obvious McDonald's is ecellent at business systems. The world is filled with talented poor people. They focus on perfecting their sills at building a better hamburger rather than the sills of selling and delivering the hamburger.25. The author mentions the mechanic in the first paragraph to show that .A. he is just one of the talented peopleB. he is ready to help othersC. he has a sharp sense of hearingD. he nows little about car repairing26.The underlined part in the third paragraph can be best replaced by“”.A. spend more than they can affordB. do in their own wayC. live in their own circleD. live within what they earn27. Why do talented people earn so little according to the author?A. They don't wor hard enough.B. They lac financial intelligence.C. They don't mae full use of their talents.D. They have no specialied sills.28. The main purpose of the author is to tell us .A. how young people can find a satisfactory jobB. what schools should teach about financeC. why so many talented people are poorD. how McDonald's maes much moneyCRegarded as one of the English language’s most gifted poets, John eats wrote poetry that concentrated on imagery, human nature, and philosophy. Although eats didn’t receive much formal literary education, his own studies and passion brought him much success. Additionally, his own life situation influenced his poetry greatly.Growing up as a young boy in London in a lower middle-class family, the young John didn’t attend a private school, but went to a public one. His teachers and his family’s friends regarded him as an optimistic boy who favored playing and fighting much more than minding his studies. After his father’s death in the early 1800s, followed by his mother’s passing due to tuberculosis (肺结核), he began viewing life differently. He wanted to escape the world and did so by reading anything he could get his hands on.At around the age of 16, the teenage John eats began studying under a surgeon so that he too might become a doctor. However, his literary appetite had taen too much of his fancy, especially with his addiction to the poetry of Ehmund Spenser. He was able to have his first full poem published in the Eaminer in 1816, entitled O Solitude! If I Must With Thee Dwell. Within two months in 1817, eats had written an entire volume of poetry, but was sharply criticied by a magaine. However, the negative response didn’t stop his pursuit of rhythm (韵律).John eats’ net wor was Endymion, which was published in May 1818. The story involves a shepherd who falls in love with the moon goddess and leads him on an adventure of one boy’s hope to overcome the limitations of being human. Following Endymion, however, he tried something more narrative-based and wrote Isabella. During this time, John eats began seeing his limitations in poetry due to his own limit in life eperiences. He would have to have the “nowledge” associated with his poems. His net wor was Hyperion that would attempt to combine all that he learned. However, a bout (发作) with tuberculosis while visiting Italy would eep him from his wor and eventually tae his life in 1821.29. John eats’ attitude towards life changed because of _________.A. his early education from schoolB. the deaths of his parentsC. Edmund Spenser’s poetryD. the criticism of a magaine30. What is the common thing between John eats and his mother?A. They died of the same disease.B. They had a bad childhoodC. They read many boos.D. They showed strong interest in poetry31. While pursuing his dream of becoming a poet first, John eats was _________.A. determinedB. eperiencedC. nowledgeableD. impatient32. What do we now from the passage?A. eats received little education at school.B. eats once had a chance of becoming a doctor.C. In 1816 eats spent two months writing a poem.D. Endymion was about a real love story.DEveryone nows that death is natural, but do you have any idea of the process of dying? Modern scientists divide the process of dying into two phases---clinical or temporary death and biological death. Clinical death occurs when the vital organs, such as the heart or lungs, have ceased to function, but have not suffered permanent damage. The organism can still berevived(复活). Biological death occurs when changes in the organism lead to the “breaing up” of vital cells and tissues. Death is then unchangeable and final.Scientists have been seeing a way to prolong the period of clinical death so that the organism can remain alive before biological death occurs. The best method developed so far involves cooling of the organism, co mbined with narcotic sleep. By slowing down the body’s metabolism(新陈代谢), cooling delays the processes leading to biological death.To illustrate how this wors, scientists performed an eperiment on a si-year-old female money called eta. The scientist put eta to sleep with a narcotic. Then they surrounded her body with ice-bags and began checing her body temperature. When it had dropped to 28 degrees the scientists began draining blood from an artery. The money’s blood pressure decreased and an hour later both the heart and breathing stopped clinical death set in. For twenty minutes eta remained in this state. Her temperature dropped to 22 degrees. At this point the scientists pumped blood into an artery in the direction of the heart and started artificial br eathing. After two minutes eta’s heart became active once more. After fifteen minutes, spontaneous(自发的)breathing began, and after four hours eta opened her eyes and lifted her head. After si hours, when the scientists tried to give her a penicillin injection, eta seied the syringe and ran with it around the room. Her behavior differed little from that of a healthy animal.33. Scientists try to mae the time of clinical death longer in order to _________A. cool the organism.B. delay the coming of biological death.C. slow down the body’s metabolism.D. bring vital cells and tissues bac to active life.34. How did the scientists put eta into clinical death?A. By putting her to sleep, lowering her temperature and draining her blood.B. By surrounding her body with ice-bags and draining her blood.C. By lowing her blood pressure and stopping her heart from beating.D. By draining her blood, lowering her blood pressure and stopping her breathing.35.All of the following indicate that the money has almost restored to her original physical state ecept the fact that _________A. her heart beat again.B. she rejected a penicillin injection.C. she regained her normal breath.D. she acted as lively as a healthy money.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。

One of the first things I did, having moved to the south of France to start a language assistant post, was to find the local running club!I have been a een runner competing in regional championships in the U during my teenage years and national championships while at university. Running is in my blood! So why not mae the most of the famous “Allipine”mountains which surround my new town and the etraordinarily warm temperatures? In England it almost seems strange if you aren’t running in the rain!Immediately I felt at home at my fist session with the familiarity of the 400m red and blue trac. Much lie my own club in London, “Club Athétisme Salonais”is lie an etended family but instead of aunties and uncles, you find throwers and runners to fulfill those roles. It may sound very clichéd(陈座腐的) but it has been really important to my first few wees’settling in after having moved abroad to wor. The competition season is fast approaching with the first ace in two wees, so I need plenty of time to get to now more of the club.I haven’t however, completely ignored he football in Marseille. In a few wees’time I will have a football fan come and visit for a few days. We plan to see a home match at the magnificent stadium, sitting among the 67,000 fans. I thin I’ll need to buy a football shirt!25. Why did the author come to Provence?A. To eperience a novel type of life in France.B. To find a local running club for himself.C. To begin his job as a language assistant.D. To watch a football match with his friend.26. What can we learn about the author after he came to the new town?A.

A person loving to mae friendsCHomelessness is a serious problem, even in what we perhaps foolishly refer to as “fist world countries”, and Housing Day was established as part of a movement to fight it all over the world. In the US alone there are 643,000 homeless people and 200,000 in Canada according to a 2015 study. Housing Day wors to help change this situation, and to provide a home for those who are currently suffering from homelessness.Housing Day first appeared in 1998 with the determination to establish homelessness as a national disaster. The mayors of the largest cities in Canada, including Toronto mayor Mel Lastman, made a declaration the homelessness was not recognied as a criminal issue, but as a national disaster and threat to the people of Canada. Lie every person in the world, every Canadian has a right to a safe home.There is a common misconception that the majority of the homeless are those who simply don’t want to wor. In the US 25% of those who are homeless are those who suffer from mental illness of one variety or another, and 13% are those fleeing domestic violence in their homes, choosing life on the streets rather than living with their abusers.Every morning, when you wae up and loo at the roof over our head, the first thing you can do is recognie your good fortune and appreciate the life you live and the fact that you have a warm house to live in. Then when you loo into your community and see how much homelessness affects where you live, you may be surprised to find that even in smaller communities there are quite a few people who have to sleep on the streets each night. Loo into organiations in your community on Housing Day, and see what you can do to mae a difference in your neighborhood.28. What’s the purpose of Housing Day?A. To wan the residents against the homeless.B. To require the residents to provide shelters.C. To solve the problem of homelessness.D. To control the number of homeless people around the world.29.

They prefer to live outside rather than stay with their family.31. What can we infer from the last paragraph?A. Everyone can give a hand to the homeless.B. Homelessness can cause mental illness.C.

This is to properly secure more food available for the people and reduce riss of accumulating waste. But a study tried to raise a different light to food waste reduction If food waste is largely reduced, what will happen to the animals that depend on it?In a research led by James Coo University , findings on efforts on food waste reduction have provided another way to view the situation. Quoting John Francis Campbell on Popular Tales of the West Highlands, “one man’s rubbish is another man’s treasure”seems to be the team’s base concept.According to the study’s author, Iain Gordon, a professor at James Coo University, we waste 40 percent of the food that we produce. “So what is the implication(可能的影响) of removing that waste from the system? There may be some species the that face a significant decline in theirpopulations,”Gordon pointed out.The group cited(列举) different cases of animals depending on our food and agricultural wastes. For eample, migratory(迁徒的) birds are highly dependent on leftovers of farms along the way. The team noted that increasing agricultural efficiency with less food waste may pose(造成) hunger to these birds that have been travling in the sies for long periods.The bale eagles and seagulls in the US were also mentioned, since reduction of food waste that ends up in landfills can greatly reduce the food source of these species. Meanwhile, in Europe, the population of vulture(秃鹫) has a dramatic tumble, associated with the mad cow disease, since the bodies were buried by farmers instead of being left in the open.Based on the statement of Professor Martine Maron of the University of Queensland, the paper’s idea is quite interesting enough to reconsider food waste management but has focused on the bigger picture of food insecurity for the people.32. What does Iain Cordon thin of food waste?A. It can pose a threat to poor people.B. It is urgent for everyone to avoid wasting food.C. It is beneficial to some species in the long run.D. It is a common problem eisting for a long time.33. Why does the author refer to bald eagles and seagulls?A. To call on people to care for them.B. To show too many animals are really endangered.C. To imply mad cow disease is very dangerous.D. To prove reducing food waste will affect some animals.34. What does the underlined part in Paragraph 5 mean?A. An unusual habit.B. A sharp decrease.C. A surprising increase.D. A tough difficulty.35. Which of the following is the best title for the tet?A. A New View of the Problem—Food WasteB. Environmental Management Leads to Food ReductionC. Great Efforts Made to Prevent Any Food WasteD. Some Species Are Seriously Being Threatened第二节（共5小题；第小题2发，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。
