四川省成都市某校2020-2021学年高二九月月考英语试题一、阅读选择1. Many visitors to the United States find that the fast pace at which people move is very troubling.One's first impression is likely to be that everyone is in a rush.City pople always sem to be hurrying to get where they are going.And they are very impatient if they are delayed even for a brief moment.At first this may seem unfriendly to you: people will push past you as they walk along the street.You will miss smiles and brief conversations ith people when you shop or dine in a restaurant.Do not think it is because Americans are in such a hurry that they are unfriendly.Life is often much slower outside the big cities, which is true in other countries as well.Americans who live in cities such as New York, Chicago, or Los Angeles, often think that everyone is equally in a hurry to get things done.But when they dicover that you are a stranger, most Americans become quite kind and will take great care to help you.(1)In American big cities,people rarely________.A.move at a fast paceB.smile to each otherC.chat with each other in a shopD.dine away from home.(2)Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?________A.Life pace is quite slow in other parts of the world.B.Life pace is different inside and outside big cities.C.Life pace is the same in different parts of the world.D.Life pace is similar in American cities,big or small..(3)It seems that Americans are cold to you becaue they think________.A.you know their way of lifeB.you are a foreignerC.you are as busy as they areD.you are a stranger there.2. Every day, in all kinds of weather, thousands of men and women jog.Why has jogging﹣running slowly for long distances﹣become so popular? Most joggers begin because they hear it is a very good exercise.Jogging makes the heart stronger and helps people lose weight.It can also help them feel better about themselves.Donald Robbins, who is forty two years old and works in an office, began jogging a few years ago because he felt he was too fat.At first he could only run about 100 yards.It took him three months to be able to run a mile.But two years later, he ran in a marathon over twenty six miles.Many joggers, like Donald Robbins, feel that if they can succeed in jogging, they can succeed in other things, and quite often this feeling helps them in their jobs.Should you jog too? If you do, be sure to ask your doctor for advice.Jogging may be too much exercise for you. Does jogging cost much? No, it costs almost nothing.But it is very important to have a good pair of shoes that are made especially for jogging.They protect your feet and legs from the shock of running on the hard surface. How fast should you go? Jog with a friend and talk to each other as you run.If you have difficulty intalking, you're going too fast.How far should you jog? Remember not to go too far too soon.In fact, you should walk, not run, the first few times.Then do some short jogs, but no more than what you can do comfortably.After that, increase your distance a quarter or half a mile every two weeks or so.Maybe in a few years, you can run in a marathon too.(1)The article is mainly about________.A.jogging as an exerciseB.jogging as a sportC.jogging in a safe wayD.jogging as a way to the marathon.(2)Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the article?________A.Many people think that jogging needs one's will power.B.Jogging should be done in the early morning.C.Jogging is time consuming.D.You should not talk while jogging..(3)Which piece of advice is NOT mentioned in the article?________A.Have a sports suit.B.Have a good pair of shoes.C.Remember not to go too far too soon at the beginning.D.Ask your doctor for advice..(4)Why is jogging so popular according to the passage?________A.One can start jogging at any time and in any place.B.It doesn't cost much.C.It is a very good exercise.D.One can talk with one's friend while jogging.3. Once there was a king in England.His officials were always saying that he was the greatest man in the world. “You're the greatest man that ever lived,” one would say.Then another would say, “Great king,there's nothing you can't do.”And another would say,“Oh, king! Everything will obey your orders.”The king was very clever. He grew tired of hearing such foolish words.One day he was sitting in a chair by the sea, and his officials were with him.They were searching for good words totell the king, as they usually did. He thought that now he would teach them a lesson, and so he asked them, “Am I the greatest man in the world? ”“Oh, king! ”they cried,“there is no one so great as you.”“Do all things obey me? ”he asked.“Oh, certainly, certainly, my king,” they said.“Will the sea obey me?”he asked, and he looked down at the water.The foolish officials were afraid to say “No.”“Tell it what to do, oh, king! And it will obey, ” said one.“Sea,” cried the king, “Stop moving!”But the sea went on coming and going. Then the king turned to his officials.“You see, the sea doesn't obey my orders. You foolish men! Don't tell me such things again, or I'll drive all of you into the sea! ”(1)The officials said________would obey the king's orders.A.all thingsB.nothingC.somethingD.most things(2)The king________.A.was very happyB.believed themC.wasn't happyD.didn't believe them(3)The king ordered the sea to________.A.make a noisee and goC.listen to the officialsD.be quiet(4)From this story we know that even a great man________.A.can do everythingB.can't do everythingC.is glad to have foolish officialsD.can be foolish4. In the United States in recent years, camping has become very popular. Every summer, thousands of families leave the city behind to spend weekends and vacations outdoors. Some families take along trailers(拖车). Others load their cars with tents, small stoves, and airfilled sleeping mattresses(床垫). Then they head for one of the country's many campgrounds.Some campgrounds offer campers little more than clean water and places to pitch their tents or park their trailers. People who go to these places like to “rough it.” Other campgrounds offer campers such comforts as electricity, outdoor fireplaces, and even showers.In the United States, most campgrounds are publicly owned. The national parks and many national monuments and national forests have land set aside for campers. State governments also run campgrounds in stateowned parks and forests. Even countries and cities may have their own campgrounds.A few years ago, campers could always find room to camp in a public campground. But today, governmentowned campgrounds are often overcrowded. To meet the needs of the evergrowing number of campers, some businessmen are opening privately owned land to campers.More private campgrounds are opening across the country. The campers usually pay a higher fee than they pay at governmentowned grounds. But many private parks also offer more comforts. And as public parks and forests become greatly overcrowded, private campgrounds will give more people the chance to enjoy camping.(1)The story is mainly about ________.A.the problems of running the national parks and national forestsB.new campgrounds that will give more people a chance to campC.why camping has become so popular in the USAD.how countries and cities can have their own campgrounds(2)Most campgrounds are ________.erned by citiesB.national monumentsC.publicly ownedD.privately owned(3)The word in the last paragraph that means “payment or charge” is “________”.A.feeB.campgroundsC.campersforts(4)Which statement does the story lead you to believe?A.All people who go camping like to “rough it”.B.Each country and city will have to build its own campgrounds.C.Fewer and fewer people like to camp in the country.D.Many people who go camping live in big cities.二、七选五Developing healthy eating habitsChildren develop a natural preference for the foods they enjoy the most, so the challenge is to make healthy choices attractive. Of course, it's always going to be difficult to make your eight-year-old believe that an apple is as sweet a treat as a cookie. However, you can make sure that your children's diet is as nutritious(有营养的) and healthy as possible, even while allowing for some of their favorite treats.Children are good at imitating. (1) It's no good asking your child to eat fruit and vegetables while you eat potato chips and drink soda.Top tips to form healthy childhood eating habits:●(2) Knowing dinner is served at about the same time every night and that the entire family will be sitting down together is comforting and increases appetite(食欲). Breakfast is another great time for a family meal, especially since kids who eat breakfast tend to do better in school.●Cook more meals at home. Eating home cooked meals is healthier. (3) Save dining out for special occasions.●Get kids involved. Children enjoy helping adults to shop for groceries and prepar ing dinner. (4)●Make a variety of healthy snacks available instead of empty calorie snacks. (5) Kids will become used toreaching for healthy snacks instead of snacks like soda, chips, or cookies.A.Keep plenty of fruits, vegetables and healthy drinks such as milk and pure fruit juice around.B.Have regular family meals.C.Eat the new food yourself.D.Restaurant meals tend to have more fat, sugar, and salt.E.It's also a chance for you to teach them about the nutritional values of different foods.F.Serve new foods with favorite foods.G.So it's important that you act as a role model for your kids.三、完形填空In a small village, there lived a potter (陶工) who had a donkey.

Here are some things you should try before you are 18.★Learn to swimSeriously, this is so important that it can save your life. If you can’t swim well, you won’t be able to dowater sports like waterskiing, surfing and diving. Even taking a boat trip will be dangerous for you. Make sure you do it.★Try at least one kind of team sportsBeing a good team player is an important skill in life. You can’t just think of yourself, but have to work well with other people. Other advantages of team sports like basketball, football and baseball are that they keep you fit and healthy, and they are also great fun. Teams usually have a good social life too—you’ll go to lots of parties and make many friends.★Collect somethingOne of the best hobbies for under-18s is collecting things. You could collect kinds of stamps, or you could collect things that make you remember what you have done, like cinema tickets for films you have seen or letters from friends. The best way to collect is to have a special album to put your collection in and to write what each thing means to you. That way you won’t forget.1. The most important reason for learning to swim is that ________.A. you might feel wellB. it can make you healthyC. you might easily do lots of thingsD. it can save your life2. The writer tells us that one of the best hobbies is to ________ .A. collect somethingB. do some water sportsC. send letters to your friendsD. play basketball with your friends23. The passage is mainly about ________before you are 18.A. good habits to keepB. skills to haveC. things to doD. sports to playBIn a recent survey of 2000 Americans, housecleaning was shown to have some mood-boosting effects — but that doesn't mean everybody is willing to do it.The majority of respondents (受访者) said cleaning gave them a sense of accomplishment (65%) and helped them clear their mind (63%). Half of these adults said they are most often motivated to clean when they're happy. In fact, 63% of those surveyed find the experience of cleaning to be relaxing - even more so than getting fresh air (61%).But that's not the only reason people clean. A big 70% admitted that tidying their home was a way of putting off having to do other things, with the average procrastinator (拖延者) using that trick four times a week. The survey showed that 86% of respondents do feel on top of their housework, but the last deep clean of their kitchen happened over a week and a half ago. That's no surprise because the kitchen is most terrible of all.Conducted by OnePoll on behalf of DishFish, the survey investigated people's attitudes toward dirty dishes and how they get through tricky task. More than two-thirds of people (69%) let their dishes pile up between washings with 20% saying “always” letting them be placed in the sink, which left them feeling stressed. More than any other room, the kitchen was rated as “very difficult” to cope with. And most people enjoy cleaning their toilet or taking out the garbage more than washing dishes by hand.How do they get through it? 66% listen to music while they clean. 72% have a best-loved song that they sounded while tidying up their home, with “Uptown Funk,”“Read All About It” and “Work” being the three favorite tunes on America's cleaning playlist.4. What is the result of the survey?A. Housecleaning may contribute to a good mood to some extent.B. Housecleaning may strengthen people's willingness to volunteer.C. Housecleaning may cause anxiety and concern for some people.D. Housecleaning may improve people's motivation to other housework.5. What is the top reason why people undertake housecleaning?A. They can entertain themselves.B. They can take in fresh air.C. They get a sense of achievement.D. They can delay other things.6. What are respondents' attitudes to dirty dishes?A. Many would rather wash dishes than throw out the rubbish.B. Half are under pressure with dirty dishes lying in the sink.C. A quarter will let dirty dishes pile up after their meals.D. Most prefer cleaning their toiletto washing dishes by hand.7. What column does the text belong to?A. Feature Story.B. Family Life.C. Scientific Hotspot.D. Finance Focus.CIs renting clothes greener than buying them? Sustainable (可持续的) fashion expert Elizabeth Cline isn’t sure. Clothing renting is a hot new industry and businessmen are trying to attract shoppers who care about the environment. Last summer alone,Urban Outfitters, Macy’s, Bloomingdale’s American EagleandBanana Republicall announced renting services – a sure sign of changing times.But is renting fashion actually more environmentally-friendly than buying it? And if so, how much more? Journalist and author Elizabeth Cline researched this question in a feature article for Elle, and she concluded that it’s not as sustainable as it seems.Take shipping for example, which has to go two ways if an item is rented – receiving and returning. Cline writes that consumer transportation has the second largest carbon footprint of our collective fashion habit after manufacturing.Then there’s the burden of washing, which has to happen for every item when it’s returned, regardless of whether or not it was worn. For most renting services, this usually means dry-cleaning, which is a polluting process. All the renting services that Cline looked into have replaced perchloroethylene, a carcinogenic (致癌的) air pollutants that’s still used by 70 percent of US dry cleaners, with hydrocarbon (碳氢化合物) alternatives, although these aren’t great either. They can produce harmful waste and air pollution if not handled correctly.Lastly, Cline fears that renting services will increase our appetite for fast fashion, simply because it’s so easily accessible. There’s something called “share-washing” that makes people have more wasteful behaviors because a product or service is shared and thus is considered more eco-friendly. Uber is one example of this: advertised as a way to share rides and reduce car ownership, and yet it has been proven to discourage walking, bicycling and public transportation use.Renting clothes is still preferable to buying them cheap and throwing them into the bin after wearing them a few times, but we shouldn’t let the availability of these services make us self-satisfied.

Another parents spent years helping their daughter avoid foods with sauce, which she didn’t like. Once she got to college, she had problems with the food in her school because it was all covered in sauce.A survey says that three-quarters of parents of children between the ages of 18 and 28 ask for doctor visits or haircuts for their children, and 11% say they would call their kids’ bosses whether their children are having anissue at work.As reported, wealthy parents try to get their children into top colleges by giving a large amount of money to a school, such as paying for a building. This parenting has become the most popular way to raise children, whatever the income, education, or race is.Julie, a teacher at Stanford, told the Times that “snowplow parenting” is not a reasonable approach. “The parents should prepare the kid for the road, instead of preparing the road for the kid,” she said.12.

Helicopter Parenting.B. The Similarity in Parenting.C. A Research on Parenting.D. A New Kind of Parenting.第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

We know the risk of dementia (痴呆症) increases with age. But if you have memory slips you probably needn’t worry. There are pretty clear differences between signs of dementia and age-related memory loss.After age 50, it’s quite common to have trouble remembering the namesof people, places and things quickly, says Dr. Kirk Daffner of Brigham and Women’s Hospital inBoston.The brain ages just like the rest of the body. Certain parts become smaller, especially areas in the brain that are important to learning, memory and planning. Changes in brain cells can affect communication between different regions of the brain. And blood flow can be reduced as blood vessels narrow.Forgetting the name of an actor in a favorite movie, for example, is nothing to worry about. But if you forget the plot of the movie or don’t remember even seeing it, that’s far more concerning, Daffner says.When you forget entire experiences, he says, that’s “a red flag that something more serious may be involved”. Forgetting how to operate a familiar object like a microwave oven, or forgetting how to drive to the house of a friend you’ve visited many times before can also be signs of something going wrongBut even then, Daffner says, people shouldn’t panic. There are many things that can cause confusion andmemory loss, including health problems like temporary stoppage of breathing during sleep, high bloodpressure, or depression, as well as medications (药物) like antidepressants.You don’t have to figure this out on your own. Daffner suggests going to your doctor to check on medications, health problems and other issues that could be affecting memory. And the best defense against memory loss is to try to prevent it by building up your brain’s cognitive(认知的) reserve, Daffner says.“Read books, go to movies, take on new hobbies or activities that force one to think in novel ways, ” he says. In other words, keep your brain busy and working. And also get physically active, because exercise is a known brain booster4. Why does the author say that one needn’t be concerned about memory slips?A. Not all of them are related to one’s age.B. Not all of them are symptoms of dementia.C. They occur only among certain groups of people.D. They are quite common among fifty-year-old people.5. Which memory-related symptom should people take seriouslyA. Totally forgetting how to do one’s daily routines.B. Inability to recall details of one’s life experiencesC. Failure to remember the names of movies or actorsD. Occasionally confusing the addresses of one’s friends.6. What should people do when signs of serious memory loss show up?A. Check the brain’s cognitive reserve.B. Stop medications affecting memory.C. Turn to a professional for assistance.D. Exercise to improve their well-being7. What is Dr. Daffner’s advice forfight against memory loss?A. Having regular physical and mental checkups.B. Taking medicine that helps boost one’s brain.C. Engaging in known memory repair activities.D. Staying active both physically and mentallyCIn the natural habitat, a binge-watcher is a strange sub-species of modern human beings. They are alone and are often found lying on their bed or sofa, still as a rock, looking searchingly into their laptop or at the TV. Theyrarely get up, only taking occasional breaks for those urgent calls of nature. Unlike so many others of their species, they don’t sleep at the end of every day. They stay up late and are often found to have red eyes.This, of course, is a little bit exaggerated, but for many of us, binge-watching a show is how we consume our entertainment. With streaming services bringing seemingly endless content to the tips of our finger, creatorstailortheir shows to our needs and tastes, while their marketing team sells it to us as the next most bingeable show. I can’t help but wonder if this way of consuming television does us any good.We’re advised to get 7 to 8 hours of sleep per day, but staying up all night to finish shows like ‘Breaking Bad’ and ‘The Fall’, which Netflix says are binged the fastest, won’t result in 8 hours of uninterrupted sleep. Netflix’s CEO Richard Hastings told analysts at a conference, “Think about it… when you watch a show from Netflix and you get addicted to it, you stay up late at night. We’re competing with sleep.” And it isn’t only the amount of sleep we get; the quality matters too! A study published in the Journal for Clinical Sleep Medicine reported that those who binged television more often were found to have poorer sleep quality. The mental arousal we get from watching TV doesn’t lend itself to peaceful sleep.Besides, binging TV can cause weight gain. For every extra hour of TV watched, there was a 2% increase in the prevalence of obesity, according to a study conducted by Harvard that linked TV watching to obesity in children and adolescents.While it is true that there’s growing evidence that binging isn’t good for us, the results aren’t all hopeless. Binging, occasionally, might have some benefits. For many people, binging is a good way to socialize. It gives people something to talk about at parties and with their friends. Fans of popular shows often hold viewing parties where people can binge-watch shows together and then discuss what they just experienced! This interaction can create a sense of community for many.For others, binging might just be relaxing. After a long day, a few hours of Friends—still one of the most popular shows on any streaming platform—can ease the stress of a long day. A study followed 240 people through their binging and recorded their stress hormones. They noted for some people that their stress hormone levels decreased during their binging experience.With binging, there is not a “good” or “bad” answer. Like many things, the key is moderation. Watching TV can be relaxing, but only if it doesn’t stop you from exercising, taking care of your health, and fulfilling your social responsibilities.8. What does the underlined word “tailor” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?A. Study.B. Sell.C. Adjust.D. Promote.9. What can we learn from the passage?A. The amount of sleep matters more than the quality.B. There’s no real harm in binge-watching a TV series.C. Binging may help keep stress hormone levels stable.D. Binge-watching may help increase social connections.10. What is the author’s attitude towards binge-watching?A. Supportive.B. Unconcerned.C. ObjectiveD. Doubtful.11. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?A. Who Is to Blame for Binge-Watching?B. Is Binge-Watching Good or Bad for You?C. Is Binge-Watching Getting out of Control?D. HowDoes Binge-Watching Affect Your Life?DAlthough computer technology is often necessary today, using a pen or pencil activates more areas of your brain than a keyboard does. You can potentially remember more by handwriting, according to a new study.The potential benefits of handwriting for memory have been debated for some time. The new study set out to answer one question: How does handwriting compare to using a keyboard when it comes to remembering new information?In all,24 participants took part. Researchers asked each of them to write with a pen and then each was also asked to type on a keyboard. While performing these tasks, each volunteer wore a cap that held electrodes next to their head. It looked somewhat like a hair net fitted with 256 sensors. Those sensors recorded the participants' brainwaves. The electrodes noted which parts of the brain turned on during each task. And they showed that writing turned on memory areas in the brain while typing didn't.Audrey van der Meer, the new study's leader, says this suggests that when we write by hand, we remember better. “This is because writing involves complex movements that activate more areas of the brain. The increased brain activity gives the brain more ‘hooks’ to hang your memories on,” she explains. Van der Meer also points out that writing by hand is related to visual notetaking. “Rather than typing blindly, the visual notetaker has to think about what is important to write down. Then, key words can be interlinked by boxes, arrows and small drawings,”she adds.This study does not recommend banning digital devices. In fact, its authors point out, computers and other devices with keyboards have become necessary in modern society. Keyboarding can especially benefit those with certain special needs (such as if they have trouble using their hands) and typing beats writing when it comes to speed, they add.12. Why were participants asked to wear caps in the study?A. To record their brainwavesB. To inform them of their tasksC. To allow them to focus on writingD. To protect their heads like hair nets13. What does Audrey van der Meer try to explain?A. Why handwriting is more complex than typingB. Why the brain works when it comes to learningC. Why handwriting helps remember informationD. Why key words are helpful to visual notetaking14. What is the study's authors' view on typing?A. It relieves people's handsB. It remains vital and helpfulC. It is not worth recommendingD. It is more challenging than writing15. Which of the following can be a suitable title for the text?A. How Can You Remember New Information?B. Handwriting Benefits Health in the LongRunC. Should Typing Take the Place of Handwriting?D. Handwriting Is Better for Memory Than Typing第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

2020年成都石室佳兴外国语学校高三英语月考试卷及答案解析

2020年成都石室佳兴外国语学校高三英语月考试卷及答案解析第一部分阅读(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A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项AThis is a list of places to spend the 2020 Olympics if you aren't going to Japan.AustraliaThe fact that the summer Olympics fall during Australia's winter season is worth keeping in mind for two reasons: it makes traveling there cheaper, and it's still not too cold. As far as the Olympics are concerned, there will be no shortage of opportunities to watch the Games in between your various explorations of the country and its limitless activities.ThailandThailand is a breathtaking place 10 spend some time during any summer, and provides a perfect setting for Olympie viewing: You can go scuba diving one morning before watching sports all afternoon, or simply duck out for world-famous street food in between events. But Thai sports fans may also be taking extra interest in the Olympics these days.United StatesThe U.S. is likely to be as interested in the Olympics as any other nation, given is collection of athletes who will be taking center stage. You can rest assured it won't be difficult to watch the Games no matter where you're visiting specifically. This leaves you with all sorts of fun options. You can visit a luxury ski resort town like Aspen, which turns into a gorgeous hiking destination in the summer.Great BritainNot unlike the U, s. Britain will make for a fun place to spend the 2020 Olympics because there's a great deal of national interest in a number of different sports, and the local athletes are expected to be competitive. Summer can also be a good time to be in Britain in general," with ly mild temperatures allowing for full exploration of the country. That means you can stay in the beautiful Lake District if you like, hiking or kayaking when you're not watching the Games.1.What is special about Australia as a destination in an Olympic summer?A.Its season.B.Its activities.C.Its sports.D.Its scenery,2.Which country can you go to if you are a street food lover?A.Australia.B.Thailand.C.United States.D.Great Britain.3.What do the U. S. and Britain have in common as fun places to spend the 2020 Olympics?A.They both have a pleasant temperature.B.They are both interested in the Games.CThey both own lots of sports centers. D.They are both English-speaking countries.BIf you travel inAthens, against popular belief, I would highly recommend saving the Acropolis for your secondday. As attractive as it is to head straight to the most famous building in the city, there are several reasons why you should hold off until later.Sunriseis the best time to see the ruins, and who wants to spend their first day in anew citywaking up at6 a.m.? On top of that, the Acropolis is going to make every other site inAthensless important in comparison, so I recommend not hitting it on your first day.We got to the southeast gate at 7:30, half an hour before it opened at 8. When the gate opened, we rushed to the hill. Our plan paid off because we had the whole complex to ourselves for five minutes. In this age of overtourism, getting to the greatness of the Acropolis with nobody else around felt special and excited.The Acropolis is the name given to the complex on top of the hill, and it’s made up of several buildings. There’s theTempleofAthena Nike, the Parthenon, the Old Temple of Athena, the Legendary Olive Tree of the Pandroseion, the Porch of the Caryatids at the Erechtheion... and on your way down, the Odeon of Herodes Atticus.Something that sounds boring but isn’t is theAcropolisMuseum, and I recommend spending a couple of hours there. As someone who is a museum-avoider, I listened to the recommendations of everyone who had been, and made myself go inside. And I loved it. The museum houses tons of sculptures unearthed from the Acropolis, and it was interesting to check them out.Head toSyntagma Squarenext to watch the changing of the guard. This takes place every hour on the hour, so try to time your visit perfectly. The guards wear fun clothes and make for interesting photos.4. The author suggests visiting the Acropolis on the second day so that ___________.A. it can save visitors a lot of timeB. it can save visitors from getting up earlyC. it can make for a better travel experienceD. it can give visitors a better understanding ofAthens5. How did the author feel when he ran to the top of the hill?A. Bored.B. Worried.C. Relaxed.D. Amazed.6. With what may the author agree about theAcropolisMuseum?A. It is so great that it should be visited last.B. It is enjoyable and worth visiting.C. It wastes a lot of time.D. It should be avoided.7. What is the purpose of the text?A. To provide some advice on visiting the Acropolis.B. To introduce the history of the Acropolis.C. To call on people to protect historic sites.D. To encourage people to travel around.CEven plant can run a fever,especially when they're under attack by insects or disease.But unlike human,plants can have their temperature taken from 3,000 feet away straight up.A decade ago,adopting the infrared (红外线)scanning technology developed for military purposes and other satellites,physicist Stephen Paley came up with a quick wayto take the temperature of crops to determine which ones are under stress.The goal was to let farmers precisely(精确的)target pesticide(杀虫剂)spraying rather than rain poison on a whole field,which always includes plants that don't have pest problems.Evenbetter,Paley's Remote Scanning Services Company could detect crop problems before they became visible to the eye.Fixed on a plane flown at 3,000 feet at night,an infrared scanner measured the heat sent out by crops.The data were transformed into a color﹣coded map showing where plants were running "fevers".Farmers could then spot﹣spray,using 50 to 70 percent less pesticide that they otherwise would.The bad news is that Paley's company closed down in 1984,after only three years.Farmers resisted thenew technology and long﹣term supporters were hard to find.But with the renewed concern about pesticides on produce and refinements(改进)in infrared scanning,Paley hopes to get back into operation.Agriculture experts have no doubt that the technology works."This technique can be used on 75 percent of agricultural land in the United States," says George Oerther of Texas A& M,who recently retired from the Department of Agriculture,thinks remote infrared crop scanning could be adopted by the end of the decade.But only if Paley finds the financial support which he failed to obtain 10years ago.8. Plants will give out an increased amount of heat when they are .A. facing an infrared scannerB. sprayed with pesticidesC. exposed to extreme sun raysD. inpoor physical condition9. In order to apply pesticide spraying precisely,we can use infrared scanning to .A draw a color1﹣coded mapB evaluate the damage to the cropsC. locate the problem areaD. measure the size of the affected area10. The application of infrared scanning technology to agriculture met with some difficulties of .A. the lack of official supportB. its high costC. the lack of financial supportD. its failure to help increase production11. Infrared scanning technology may be brought back into operation because of .A. full support from agricultural expertsB. the forceful promotion by the Department of AgricultureC. the desire of farmers to improve the quality of their produceD. growing concern about the over use of pesticides on cropsDTwo years ago, I decided to study at theUniversityofSt. Edwardsin the city ofAustin,Texas. When I was on my research to find the perfect place to study in, I considered many aspects: a safe place, a city where there were companies devoted to marketing or technology, a place where speaking Spanish and English was an advantage and a school where I could learn about digital strategies (数字策略). After comparing and evaluating many cities and universities. I finally decided onAustin.Since I arrived inAustin,Texas. I had been living inside the university where I had a private room and shared common areas with more students. University life was not very different from the life inMexicoand classes weresemblableand the way of socializing too. However, in theUnited States, the classes were more practical and teachers encouraged you to be self-responsible and complete your tasks.The classes that I was taking were related to social media, digital marketing and advertising. I was very excited to be able to study technology-related courses.What I liked most about the experience was being able to live with students from many places, which allowed me to learn from other cultures and to share mine with other students. Also, international student services usually organized events and tours that helped me to get to know the city and the school.I certainly think that studying abroad is a beneficial experience. It makes us capable of understanding cultural differences and accepting diversity. Personally, I would suggest that you first determine what your goals are by going abroad, research the opportunities and lifestyle, evaluate your universities,and finally decide on the one where you feel more comfortable, connecting with your values and way of seeing life.12. Which of the following can best describe the author according to paragraph 1?A. Casual.B. Cautious.C. Changeable.D. Adventurous.13.What does the underlined word “semblable” in paragraph 2 probably mean?A. Worthwhile.B. Practical.C. Same.D. Similar.14. What made the author most pleased?A. Speaking Spanish and English inAustin,Texas.B. Working as a designer in a technology company.C. Having a chance to learn about different cultures.D. Organizing many events and tours independently.15. What are the students who intend to study abroad advised to do?A. Be careful to choose the university to study in.B. Set no limits on theiracademic performances.C. Study where they're familiar with everything.D. Adjust personal lifestyles for the university.第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

Researchers say that getting older should not necessarily mean becoming more weak or sick. Their research shows that a devotion to a life of movement and exercise may help us live not only longer, but also healthier.For their study, the researchers looked at two groups. The first group was made up of 125 non-professional cyclists between the ages of 55 to 79. This group included 84 healthy men and 41 healthy women. We will call this group the “cyclists”.Researchers then found 130 people to make up a second group. Within this group, 75 people were aged from 57 to 80. The other 55 were between the ages of 20 and 36. The people in this group were also healthy, but they did not exercise regularly. We will call this group the “non-exercisers”. Smokers, heavy drinkers of alcohol and people with other health issues were not included in the study.Then, researchers gave both groups a series of tests. They tested their muscle mass (肌肉质量), muscular strength, percentage of body fat and the strength of their immune (免疫的) systems. Then the researcherscompared the results of the two groups.Results showed that the cyclists did not experience body changes usually regarded as a normal aging process. For example, they did not lose muscle mass or muscular strength. Also, their body fat did not increase with age.The researchers also found something they had not expected. The study showed that the immune systems of the cyclists did not age either.The researchers advise us all to find an exercise that we like in our lives.4. How did the researchers carry out the study?A. By comparing.B. By discussing.C. By imagining.D. By reasoning.5. Which of the following is a result of the research?A. The cyclists kept a thin body shape.B. The non-exercisers gained weight easily.C. The cyclists’ muscles remained strong with age.D. The non-exercisers usually had health problems.6. Which is an unexpected result for the researchers?A. The cyclists had normal aging process.B. The cyclists’ immune systems didn’t age.C. The cyclists lost nearly all their fat.D. Everyone needed an exercise in their lives.7. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A. Healthy People Need More ExerciseB. Take an Exercise, the Harder, the BetterC. Cycling Is the Best Way to Prevent AgingD. A Lifetime of Exercise Slows Aging ProcessCIt’s become an accepted part of keeping up to date with extended family and friends, but if schoolchildren were in their parents’ shoes, the majority wouldn’t share posts of their sons and daughters online. Over 55% said they would not upload news about, or images of, their children to their social media feeds, according to survey of over 16,000 pupils by Votes for Schools.While some were concerned about being embarrassed or the longevity of content which could remain onlineindefinitely, others expressed concern about their personal data beingcompromised. One of the pupils surveyed said, “Although our parents mean well, sometimes theconsequenceof a post can be disastrous.”In response to thesurvey, children’s mental health charity Place2Be and law firm Mishcon de Reya have produced three films ahead of the Christmas holidays – the best period for parental oversharing.In one video, about safety online, 10-year-old Adavan said, “If you share anything with your family, you know who’s going to see it. But if you share it publicly, there are millions of people who can see your picture.”Joe Hancock, a security lead at Mishcon de Reya, encouraged parents to share wisely. “Simple steps, such as checking your privacy settings and asking others not to share content of your children on their accounts if they have not updated their privacy settings, are a good start. And, as we found out from the children during filming, having their permission is key,” he said.The study marks a shift away from the usual debate about teaching children to use the Internet safely.

Often called the “Oscars for dogs”, the award recognizes dogs who make extremely great contributions to society.The competition of 2020 attracted over 400 entries(参赛者)from across the country. These heroic dogs have gone above the call of duty, saving lives, comforting the ill and aged and reminding us of the powerful, age-old ties between animals and people. While all were impressive, it was tiny MacKenzie who wonthe judges' hearts.MacKenzie's growth was not easy. Born with a mouth disability, she had to be fed through a tube(管子)for the first year of her life. Despite her own struggles, she always seemed to think more of other animals in need. “Never have I seen such a will to live. Though sick, she carefully looked after the baby animals at the rescue(救助)center,” said her caretaker.A life-saving operation performed in 2014 gave MacKenzie the ability to eat independently. The seven-year-old chihuahua is now working for the Mia Foundation, an organization that rescues and nurses animals with inborn disabilities. The chihuahua does an excellent job and has raised various animals. She plays nurse, cleans, comforts and hugs them, acting as their mother and teaching them how to socialize, play and have good manners.In addition to her role as an animal caretaker, MacKenzie also visits schools to educate kids about the importance of accepting physical differences in both animals and people. Her heartwarming and inspiring story makes MacKenzie a worthy receiver ofAmerica's top dog honor.12. What can we infer about the American Hero Dog Competition?A. It was first held in 2010B. It was held to honor caretakers of dogs.C. It takes place every ten years.D. It was started by a charitable organization.13. With what quality did MacKenzie win the award?A. Talent and braveryB. Friendliness and care.C. Courage and selflessness.D. Confidence and independence.14. In which aspect can students benefit from MacKenzie's visits?A. Learning from failures.B. Understanding the disabled.C. Valuing physical health.D. Developing practical ability.15. What's the best title for the text?A. Dogs Are Man's Best Friends.B. Treat Dogs the Way We Want to Be Treated.C. Touching Stories between MacKenzie and PeopleD. 2020 American Hero Dog: A TinyChihuahua.第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

AA year and a half ago, Uber set up an Advanced Technologies Center (ATC) in Pittsburgh to make self-driving Ubers a reality. Today, we’re excited to announce that the world’s first Self-Driving Ubers are now on the road in the Steel City.We’re inviting our most loyal Pittsburgh customers to experience the future first. If a Self-Driving Uber is available, we’ll send it along with a safety driver up front to make sure the ride goes smoothly. This pilot is a big step forward. Real-world testing is important to the success of this technology.Self-driving Ubers have enormous potential to improve society: reducing the number of traffic accidents, which today kill 1.3 million people a year, and freeing up the 20% of space in cities currently used to park the world’s billion plus cars. In addition, self-driving Ubers will be on the road 24 hours a day, which means they’ll need a lot more human maintenance than cars today. As a result, more people have to be employed.We know a large number of drivers will have questions about this technology. It’s still very early: Self-Driving Ubers have a safety driver in the front seat because they require human intervention in many conditions, including bad weather. Even when these technologyissues get fixed, we believe ridesharing will be a mix—with services provided by both drivers and Self-Driving Ubers. This is because the limits of self-driving software and the increasing demand for better transportation.We couldn’t be more excited about what’s next. But to make it happen, we need to lead by fusing our great ridesharing network with great self-driving software and hardware. Our ATC efforts mean we have one of the strongest self-driving engineering groups in the world. And our existing partnerships with drivers, as well as new ones with manufacturers like Volvo, will ensure a world-class customer experience for generations to come.21. What can we know about Uber from the first two paragraphs?A .They spent quite a long time developing self-driving Ubers.B .Their self-driving Ubers have been put in use in America.C .They are the first company to produce self-driving vehicles.D .They are getting their self-driving Ubers tested in a city.22. What is the significance of self-driving Ubers according to the passage?A .They can increase the urban land.B .They create new work opportunities.C .They ensure that people are in safety.D .They promote the development of cities.23. How are self-driving Ubers in the eyes of many people?A .A little worrying.B .Very convenient.C .Completely reliable.D .Energy efficient.24. It is inferred from the last paragraph that the company Uber _____.A .is focusing on their ridesharing networkB .is cooperating with other big companiesC .believes their technology has a bright futureD .has a regular production management teamBNext time you raise an eyebrow at the views of your partner, friend, sibling or colleague, remember they could be helping to make you become smarter. New research shows thatintelligence isn’t fixed but can be developed throughout adulthood by family members, bright mates and intellectually stretching careers.Stimulating households where people talk, make jokes and challenge each other can raise IQ levels by several points, as can jobs that mentally encourage employees. The study challenges the commonly held notion that intelligence is static by the age of about 18.Current scientific consensus suggests intelligence is controlled by genes, with environmental factors like schooling and nutrition playing a part up to this age. After this point, IQ scores remain stable.But James Flynn, professor of psychology at Otago University in New Zealand, argues people can upgrade their own intelligence throughout their lives. He believes intellectual stimulation from other people is impo rtant as the brain seems to be rather like a muscle —the more you use it, the stronger it gets. So people who share a home or workplace with the intellectually challenged risk seeing their IQ levels nosedive as a result.Professor Flynn analyzed US intelligence tests from the last 65 years and created new IQ age tables. According to the age tables, a bright ten-year-old with brothers and sisters of average intelligence will suffer a five to ten point IQ disadvantage compared to a similar child with equally bright siblings. However, children with a low IQ could gain six to eight points by having brighter siblings and special educational treatment to help pull them up.Professor Flynn also concluded that although genetics and early life experiences determine about 80% of intelligence, the remaining 20% is linked to lifestyle. This means people can raise their IQ, or allow it to fall, by ten points or more. Professor Flynn suggests the best way to develop IQ levels is to socialize with bright friends and fi nd an intellectually challenging job.25. Which of the following is a common belief according to the passage?A .Intelligence can’t be developed until one is 18.B .The older one grows, the smarter he becomes.C .One can develop his intelligence until the age of 18.D .One can develop his intelligence throughout adulthood.26. In most scientists’ opinion, how can we become smarter?A .By working creatively.B .By going on a healthy diet.C .By overcoming challenges.D .By staying with smart people.27. The underlined word “nosedive” in Paragraph 4 most probably means ______.A .riseB .developC .changeD .fall28. What may be the best title for the text?A .Why you should avoid stupid people.B What your intelligence is affected by.C .Why clever friends make you smarter.D .How you can develop your intelligence.CDo you want to speak English fluently(流利地)? Everyone wants to talk with foreigners freely. And there are so many easy ways to be able to understand and speak English fluently. Perhaps, so far you only learn English at school which sometimes may be boring and less pleasant. However, if you are clever enough, you can use the way of listening and answering stories to learn English.As we all know, a big problem in school is that the students learn English through translation. Students do not speak naturally and fluently because they have to think about the meaning in their own language. Besides, they also have to understand the grammar rule, so it will take a lot of time to think. This is why most of the students cannot speak English well and fluently.By learning English through listening and answering stories, you will be able to speak and understand English without thinking. You will speak and answer questions quickly without thinking any vocabulary and grammar rule. This method will teach you to understand English quickly without translating it into your own language.29. If you are clever enough, what way you can use learn English?A .Translation.B .Practice.C .Listening to and answering stories.D .Taking exams.30. By the way of listening and answering stories, _____ is not necessary for students to speak and understand English.A .thinkingB .answeringC .guessingD .reading31. The second paragraph tells us that ______.A. some students are not clever enoughB. English is boring and less pleasantC. the reasons that students cannot speak English wellD. translation is an important way to learn English32. What is the best title of this passage?A. How to speak English fluently.B. How to be a good student.C. A big problem in school.D.
