山东省青岛市2020届高三期初调研(英语)word版及参考答案

青岛市2019年高三期初调研检测英语试题第一部分:听力(略)第二部分阅读理解(共两节,满分50分)第一节:(共15小题,每小题2.5分,满分37.5分)阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。

AWe all carry fear, and accepting the type of fear you carry is the first step in punishing past it. So, here’s a breakdown of the fear archetypes(典型) and how to make them work for you. We also invited Dr. Alicia Hodge to give us her feedback in a few of them.The procrastinator(拖延症患者)The procrastinators often obsess(痴迷于) over the outcome of whatever they’re doing and insist on it being perfect. Because of this, they tend to spend too much time planning and researching instead of simply diving in.For procrastinators, it’s important to push past that fear of starting. Hodge suggests setting a deadline for when your planning and researching period will end and when you’ll actually get started.The people pleaserThose who have the people-pleaser archetype struggle with the fear of being judged and worry most about disappointing others. They have a hard time setting clear boundaries and saying “no.”“Having boundaries often sounds scary to someone who is used to putting others first” Hodge says. “Remind yourself that you deserve to be prioritized, just as much as other people in your life.”The self-doubterThis archetype is dominated by the fear of not being good enough, those who self-doubt tend to feel not confident about their capabilities.A good way to overcome self-doubt is to step outside your comfort zone every once in a while – and take note of th e outcome. Practice being proactive about your life, you’ll be surprised to see just how much you are capable of.21. What probably is Dr. Alice Hodge?A. An editorB. A reporterC. A psychologistD. A teacher22. What is the underlined phrase “diving in” in the second paragraph mean?A. Swimming inB. Jumping intoC. Starting doingD. Escaping from23. How to overcome self-doubt?A. Setting a deadline for your work.B. Putting yourself first.C. Ignoring others’ judgement.D. Taking an active part in life.BFamily sizes are shrinking around the world. In many countries, families are having fewer than two children. Smaller families mean many children now grow up with fewer cousins. This is hard to imagine, as I come from a large extended family with 23 first cousins on one side and 25 on the other.Sometimes when I can’t sleep, I try to name all my relatives. Of course, almost all of thosecousins have married and had children and now their children are having children. With extended families growing so large and spreading so far, get-togethers have nearly become a thing of the past.One of the last gatherings on my father’s side was at the home of a cousin who has a place in the country on top of a hill. A tent was set up, holding long tables creaking(嘎吱作响) under the weight of fried chicken, potato salad and chocolate cake. A fishing hole waited nearby for the kids. Vehicles poured in from every direction, parking on the drive, the grass, wherever they could find a spot. There was talking and laughing and joking and food.While such gatherings had grown infrequent, we were all happy to be together. Although some of us had not seen one another since so-and-so’s wedding or somebody’s father’s funeral, most people were still easy to recognize. Three sisters who sat together all had the same beautiful skin their mother had. The cousin with bright blue eyes who raced her horse as a teenager still had bright blue eyes. An older cousin who gave me piano lessons when I was young and naughty seemed to have forgiven me. We share a gene pool of people who work hard and laugh often.It was very dark when the last set of taillights disappeared into the night. As we gathered our things, said our goodbyes and prepared to leave, a cousin called to me saying, “Don’t forget where you come from.” I never could. And I’d never try.24. What’s the author’s attitude to his large family?A. DelightedB. SadC. AshamedD. Indifferent25. What can we infer from the last two paragraphs?A. The author’s families often get together.B. All the family members have come to the gathering.C. The old cousin who taught the author piano didn’t like him.D. The author and his large family members cherish the bond between them.26. Why does the author write this passage?A. To compare the small families with large ones.B. To share his feeling about large family.C. To show his worry about the shrinking of family size.D. To give advice on family relationships.27. In which section of a newspaper may this text appear?A. ScienceB. EducationC. LifeD. AdvertisementCNezha is the subject of the latest feature, which officially opens in cinemas in China on Friday. Nezha has earned hot reviews and is ranked higher than Monkey King: Hero is Back. It is also China’s first 3D animated feature film released in IMAX format.Since July 13, previews of the film have taken more than 140 million yuan at the box office and the film has a score of 8.8 points (out of 10) on China’s largest filming rating site, Douban. It took Jokalate Yang Yu, the film’s director and screenwriter, two years to improve the script (剧本) of Nezha, and the film was in production for three years. It is the most complex animated production ever made in China. Nezha has more than 1,300 special effects shots, and it took over 20 Chinese special-effects studios, employing more than 1,600 people, to realize the film’s fairy tale setting, the mysterious Dragon King’s palace and a fight between fire a nd water. One splendid scene alone took two months to complete.Yang made up his mind to produce an animated film on the theme of breaking the traditional styles and changing fate to the opposite. Yang chose Nezha as his vehicle, the representativeof the rebellious (叛逆的) but righteous youth. However, compared with the original novel and past animated versions, the relationships between the characters are given modern meaning. In Yang’s film he is fighting prejudice: Nezha is hated and feared. But Nezha believes his fate is not predetermined and that he can choose to be a devil (恶魔) or a god.“After watching so many domestic animated films, only Nezha and Monkey King: Hero is Back have made me fascinated,” a Weibo user commented under the promotional video.“Epic! I finished watching Nezha in tears. The content-rich story, vivid characters, and amazing visual effects, work together to create a 110-minute roller-coaster (过山车) watching experience,” a Douban user commented.“Bravo! Couldn’t believe a domestic animated film can be created with such a well-developed story. The image of Nezha in this film has been overturned but his rebellious spirit is well-established. I’m sure Nezha is gonna go viral this summer!” reads another comment on Douban.28. What does the first paragraph mainly want to tell us?A. Nezha has won lots of comments.B. Nezha is more popular than Monkey King: Hero is Back.C. Nezha is the first 3D animated film.D. Nezha is a big success once released.29. Which is not the reason for Nezha’s success?A. Its hot reviews on Douban.B. Its high qualified script.C. Its large numbers of special effects shots.D. Its creative and unconventional theme.30. What can we learn about Nezha in the new version?A. He is ready to give in to his fate.B. He represents the youth who are rebellious but righteous.C. He is liked deeply by others in the film.D. He chooses to be a devil.31.What do the audience think of the film according to the last three paragraphs?A. The film is fascinating.B. The plot of the film is flat.C. The image and spirit of Nezha have been overturned.D. The film will not go far.DUniversity of Pennsylvania researchers say that for the first time they have linked social media use to increases in depression and loneliness. The idea that social media is anything but social when it comes to mental health has been talked about for years, but not many studies have managed to actually link the two. To do that, Penn researchers, led by psychologist Melissa Hunt, designed a study that focused on WeChat, Snapchat and Instagram.The study was conducted with 143 participants, who before they began, completed a mood survey and sent along photos of their battery screens, showing how often they were using their phones to access soci al media. “we set out to do a study which attempts to imitate real life.” Hunt said.The study divided the participants into two groups: The first group was allowed to maintain their normal social media habits. The other, the control group, was restricted to 10 minutes per day on social media. The restrictions were put in place for three weeks and then tested fornow comes such as fear of missing out, anxiety, depression and loneliness.The results showed a very clear link between social media use and increased levels of depression and loneliness.” Using less social media then you normally do would lead to significant decreases in both depression and loneliness,” Hunt said.Social media invites what Hunt calls “downward social comparison.” “When you’re online, it can sometimes seem that everyone else is cooler and having more fun and included in more things and you’re left out,” Hunt said. And that’s just generally discouraging. “Every minute you spend online is a minute you are not doing your work or not meeting a friend for dinner or having a deep conversation with your roommate.” And the se real life activities are the ones that you can encourage self-esteem and self-worth, Hunt added.“People are on their devices, and that’s not going to change,” she said. But as in life,a bit of control goes a long way.32. What can we learn from the first paragraph?A. Social media is a good tool for social activity.B. Social media can’t increase people’s social activities.C. Social media is the cause of depression and loneliness.D. No studies about social media and mental health have been done.33. What are the participants required to do?A. To participate in a mood survey first.B. To show how often they use their phones.C. To keep their normal social media habits.D. To stay in the lab for three weeks.34. What can we infer from Hunt’s words in the last two paragraphs?A. Social comparison makes people work harder.B. Social media activities can increase self-esteem and self-worth.C. People will reduce the use of social media.D. controlling the use of social media will make a diff erence to people’s life.35. What is the text mainly about?A. The tendency of using social media.B. The importance of the study on social media.C. The disadvantage of using social media.D. A study on the relationship between social media and mental health.第二节(共5小题,每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出填入空白处的最佳选项,选项有两项为多余选项。

高三3月份阶段性检测英语试题第一节(共15小题;每小题2分,满分30分)AAt the age of ten I could not figure out what this Elvis Presley guy had that the rest of us boys did not have.I mean,he had a head,two arms and two legs,just like the rest of us.About nine o’clock on Saturday morning I decided to ask Eugene Correthers,one of the older boys,what it was that made this Elvis guy so special.He told me that it was Elvis’ wavy hair and the way he moved his body.About half an hour later all the boys in the orphanage(孤儿院)were called to the main dining-room and told we were all going to downtown Jacksonville,Florida to get a new pair of Buster Brown shoes and a haircut.That is when I got this big idea,which hit me like a ton of bricks. If the Elvis hair cut was the big secret,then that’s what I was going to get.A11 the way to town I told everybody, including the matron(女管家)from the orphanage who was taking us to town,that I was going to look just like Elvis Presley and that I would learn to move around just like he did and that I would be rich and famous one day, just like him.When I got my new Buster Brown shoes, I could hardly wait for my new hair cut and now that I had my new Busier Brown shoes I would be very happy to go back to the orphanage and practice being like Elvis.We finally arrived at the big barber shop,where they cut our hair for free because we were orphans(孤儿).I looked at the barber and said,“I want an Elvis hair cut. Can you make my hair like Elvis?”I asked him,with a big smile on my face.“Let's just see what we c an do for you,little man,”he said.I was so happy when he started to cut my hair.Just as he started to cut my hair, the matron signed for him to come over to where she was standing.She whispered something into his ear and then he shook his head,like he was telling her “No”.Then he told me they were not allowed to give us Elvis hair cuts.Then I saw my hair falling onto the floor.21.In the author’s eyes,Elvis Presley was_________.A.disgusting B.admirable C.ambitious D.dynamic22.From the passage,we can know that______________.A.Buster Brown was more appealing than Elvis PresleyB.An Elvis hair cut cost the orphans a lot of moneyC.The matron did not want the boy to have an Elvis hair cutD.The barber was unwilling to give the boy an Elvis hair cut23.We can learn from the underlined sentence that the boy was______.A.excited to have an Elvis hair cutB.worried to think about the secret C.anxious to remove the ton of bricksD.careful to seize the chance24.How would the boy probably feel when he walked out of the barber shop? A.Delighted.B.Guilty.C.Self-satisfied.D.Depressed.BIt is probably the strangest sport anyone has ever invented. And at first sight, it looks like the easiest. Competitors have to do two things. The first is to stand still. The second is to place their hands anywhere on the body of a car, and keep it there.This is where things start getting difficult. Lots of people are doing the same thing. And the winner of the “handathon” contest is the person who can carry on doing it for the longest time. That person gets to own the car.It still seems to be an easy thing to do. At the beginning it is. Anyone can stand still. But when the contest has been going for four or five days, standing still seems like the most difficult job in the world. And keeping the hand in place over this time becomes an act of serious attention. After a few days, the hand seems to belong to someone else—someone who wants to go home and get some sleep.Competitors are allowed to take a five-minute break every hour to eat, drink or do whatever else is necessary. No one is allowed to lean on the car for support. Winners need to be able to show great powers of attention. They also need to be able to develop special skills.Maybe the popularity of the handathon is due to the fact that it is not necessary to be a trained athlete to enter. Entran ts in the Longview handathon certainly don’t seem to do much preparation. Most say they will prepare by “getting lots of sleep”. Others say they will “eat healthy food” or “pray for success”. The whole event gives ordinary people the chance to do something interesting and win something in the end.Handathons are competitions, but there is little rivalry(敌对)between competitors. They help each other out and keep each other’s spirits up. People who drop out early return with food, drink and encouragement.25. The reason why the sport is called “handathon” is that competitors.A. cover a long distanceB. keep one hand in place for longC. wave hands as long as possibleD. do the same thing as in a marathon26. What ability is likely to be needed most in a handathon?A. Standing without any support.B. Not leaning on the car.C. Eating and drinking in five minutes.D. Having strong powers of attention.27. Why is handathon popular?A. Someone can win with special training.B. It doesn’t need to make any preparation.C. Anyone who is interested can join in it.D. People get along well with each other in it.28. Which of the following about handathon is NOT right?A. The person who takes part in it should stand still.B. The person who takes part in it has to place his hands anywhere on the body of a car, and keep it there.C. The person who takes part in it can have a break during the course of the competition.D. Handathons are competitions, so competitors don’t encourage each other.CFilm director James Cameron first became interested in sea exploration when he was a little boy. His love for the ocean grew after he made the 1989 undersea adventure film The Abyss and the 1997 blockbuster Titanic, one of the most successful movies of all time. Following that big success, James Cameron decided to put his film career on hold to become an explorer.In 2022, James Cameron made a journey to the deepest spot in the Mariana Trench, known as Challenger Deep. And now the great journey has been made into a documentary film, named James Cameron’s Deep-sea Challenger 3D.In James Cameron’s fantasy films, such as Avatar and The Abyss, the unexplored areas are decorated in colors and full of danger. But on his dive into Challenger Deep, the reality proved far different: white, deserted and dull.“I felt like I had gone to another planet,” Cameron said after returning from the cold and dark place in the Western Pacific Ocean, nearly 7 miles below the surface. “I really have a sense of being separated and re alize how tiny I am down in this big, black and unexplored place.”Cameron captured(猎取) the moon-like landscape of the deep sea and documented the sea creatures he observed in the ocean.James Cameron’s Deep-sea Challenger 3D tells the story of Cameron’s j ourney. It is a film about determination, danger and the ocean’s greatest depths. The movie shows a unique insight into Cameron’s world when he makes his dream reality and makes history by becoming the first person to travel alone to the deepest point on the planet.It’s an exciting film and inspiring reminder that our beautiful planet still has a lot to explore.29.When did James Cameron become interested in the ocean?A. When he was in his childhood.B. After his films The Abyss and Titanic.C. After he achieved great success in movies.D. When he began to explore the deep sea alone.30.What is the reality about unexplored ocean?A. Colorful and dangerous.B. Boring and deserted.C. White and attractive.D. Small and dull.31.What can we know about James Cameron’s Deep-sea Challenger 3D?A. It is a film about the exploration of ocean creatures.B. It is a story about Cameron’s film-making dream.C. It aims to attract more people to explore the deep sea.D. It tells us about James’ journey into Challe nger Deep.32.What is the best title for this passage?A. The great dream of a film directorB. A film director exploring deep seaC. James Cameron and his documentary filmD. The first person to make films about the deep seaDNearing the age of 101 has not slowed down one Japanese woman.In fact,in the swimming pool—she is only getting faster.Recently,a 100-year-old Japanese woman became the world’s first centenarian to complete a 1,500-meter freestyle swimming competition in a 25-meter poo1.Her name is Mieko Nagaoka.Ms.Nagaoka set a world record for her age group at a recent Japan Masters Swimming Association event in the western city of Matsuyama.She swam the race in 1hour,15 minutes and 54 seconds.By comparison,the overall female world record holder completed the same distance in just under 15 and a half minutes.But that swimmer,Katie Ledecky,is only 17 years old.And Ms.Nagao.ka was not competing against her.In fact,Ms.Nagaoka was the only competitor in the 100-104 year old category.Her race was not a race of speed but of endurance,or not giving up.Breaking swimming records is nothing new to Ms.Nagaoka.So far she has broken 25 records.But she begancompeting when she was much younger—at 88.Ms.Nagaoka sufferred a knee injury in her 80s,so she began swimming to help her body recover.Since her first international swimming competition,she hasn’t looked back,except maybe to see if her competition is catching up.In 2002.at a masters swim meet in New Zealand,Ms.Nagaoka took the bronze medal in the 50-meter backstroke.In 2004,she won three silver medals at an Italian swim meet.Masters swimming is a special class of competitive swimming to promote health and friendship among participants.Swimmers compete within age groups of five years.Japan has a large number of people who live beyond 100 years old.Until she passed away this month,the oldest person in the world was also from Japan.Misao Okawa was born in 1 898.She said her secrets for longevity,or long life,were good genes,regular sleep,sushi and exercise.33.The underlined word “centenarian”refers to someone who is____.A.from Japan B.100 or olderC.an old competitor D. a new swimmer34.It can be inferred from the passage that_____.A.some people are born with longevity genesB.people who like swimming live longerC.the Japanese are interested in swimmingD.woman usually live much longer than men35.Which can best explain the spirit of Ms.Nagaoka?A.Not to advance is to go back.B.After a storm comes a calm.C.The early bird catches the worm.D.Keep on going,never give up.其次节(共5小题,每小题2分,满分10分)At times, our worries and anxieties can defeat us. 36 Here is a brief list of techniques that you can use to help gain a better viewpoint on things during the anxious moments.37 A person should take a deep breath and try to find something to do for a few minutes to get their mind off the problem. A person could get some fresh air, listen to some music, or do an activity that will give them a fresh perspective on things.Remember that our fearful thoughts are made to seem worse and can make the problem worse. 38 When unexpectedly having thoughts that make you fearful or anxious, challenge these thoughts by asking yourself positive questions that will maintain objectivity and common sense.Be smart in how you deal with fears and anxieties. Do not try to deal with everything all at once. When facing a current or upcoming task that makes you anxious, break the task into small ones. 39Remember that all the worrying in the world will not change anything. Most of what you worry about never comes true. 40 Then you should leave everything else in the hands of God.It is not easy to deal with all the fears and worries. When your fears and anxieties have the best of you, try to calm down and then get the facts of the situation. The key is to take it slow. All you can do is doing your best each day, hope for the best, and when something does happen, take it easy. Take it one step at a time and things will work out well at last.A. When feeling anxious, stop what you are doing and try to do something relaxing.B. This will give you the confidence to manage your anxiety.C. Instead of worrying about something that probably won’t happen, concentrate on what you are able to do.D. The next time you fell depressed, review your list and think about the good things that you have in your life.E. A good way to manage your worry is to challenge your negative thinking with positive statements and realistic thinking.F. In addition, our worries can change our understanding of what is reality and what is not.G. Completing these smaller tasks once at a time will make the stress more manageable and increase your chances of success.第三部分第一节完形填空(共20小题;每小题1.5分,满分30分)There Really Was a Santa ClausAnn worked for a big company.

A.Collectors.B.Sailors.C.Travelers.D.Fishermen.BTrucker Gerlock traveled hundreds of thousands of miles with his dog,Holly,who came with him on every route—including his last one.While driving near Dallas,Texas,on the job,the 59-year-old Marylander crashed into a concrete column.Gerlock was killed instantly.Looking in the back of the truck,though,rescue drivers found one survivor.Rescue workers cut the Chesapeake Bay retriever(切萨皮克海湾寻回犬)—practically untouched—out of the back of the truck,where she’d been sleeping.“It’s amazing that anything survived,”Sandy Nordhoff,friend of Gerlock,told The Kent County News.Unsure what happened to Holly,Gerlock’s friends from his town of Rock Hall,Maryland,made numerous calls and emails to agencies in order to find out where the dog was.Eventually,they found out she had been staying in Dallas Animal Services shelter and a foster family had taken her in for Thanksgiving.The Rock Hall locals hatched a plan to get her home.Joe Creighton and Sandy’s husband,Russell Nordhoff,both lifelong friends of Gerlock,volunteered to make the 2,800-mile trip from Rock Hall to Dallas and back,which took two days each way.The friends borrowed Gerlock’s pickup truck for the road,so Holly would feel more comfortable on the journey home,according to The Kent County News.Back in Rock Hall,some of Gerlock’s friends adopted Holly.Ever since,the dog has been a town icon(偶像),making an appearance in almost every town parade.“The outpouring of love shown towards Gerlock and Holly was heartwarming,”Rock Hall resident Jamie Elburn tells Reader's Digest.“It shows how the companionship of‘man’s best friend’and simple kindness can overcome even the most difficult situation!”4.What does the underlined part in Paragraph 2 indicate?A.The trip was extremely tiring.B.The result was quite satisfying.C.The survivor was very smart.D.The accident was too serious.5.What happened to Holly after she was saved?A.She was nowhere to be found.B.She was put in an animal shelter.C.She was sent back home immediately. D.She was adopted by a foster family.6.What can we infer about the work on getting Holly back home?A.It was painstaking.B.It was full of danger.C.It tumed out to be interesting.D.It required much experience.7.How did Jamie Elburn feel about the whole story? A.Sympathetic.B.Grateful.C.Shocked.D.Touched.CThere are around 100 tribes(部落)that live in global isolation,mostly in South America and India.The Sentinelese have lived on one of the Andaman Islands in Eastern India for 60,000 years.They protect their island by fighting against people from outside.Their language is different from any other known language.Another Andaman tribe is the Jarawa.In the past,they were independent and fought against anybody trying to make contact with them.But in 1998,the Indian government built a road across their land,and since then,they’ve had more contact with the outside world.Some Amazon tribes avoid contact because ofunhappy memories.The Mashco-Piro left their vegetable gardens after rubber companies killed most of their tribe at the beginning of the 20th century.Those who survived became nomadic(游牧的)and started hunting animals in the forest.The Awa live in the Amazon forests ofBrazil.Out of 350 members,100 have no contact with the outside world.They left their villages and adopted a nomadic lifestyle around 1850 to escape attacks by Europeans.In the following years,farmers in nearby communities started cutting the trees to expand their farmland.The Awa lost most of their hunting land.The few Amazon tribes that still exist are fighting to keep their traditional way of life.Survival,an organization that fights for the rights of tribal people,says that uncontacted tribes are the most vulnerable(弱势的)humans on the planet and that’s why their environment should be unavailable to the rest of us.After years of pressure,the organization got Brazil’s government to clear non-natives from the Awa land.All non-Awa people are leaving so the tribe can get their forest back.But some think it's impossible for tribes to stay isolated forever in a connected world.Contact will be made one day.So the question is:Whose choice should it be,ours or theirs?8.What can we learn about the Sentinelese from the first paragraph?A.They resist contact from the outside world.B.They speakthe same language as the Jarawa.C.They are wild about fighting with other tribes.D.They have got help from the Indian govemment.9.Why did the Awa choose a nomadic lifestyle?A.To protect their hunting land.B.To search for food sources.C.To avoid threats from Europeans.D.To maintain their original way of life.10.Which of the following would Survival probably agree with?A.The tribes should be left undisturbed.B.The tribes should fight for more living space.C.The cribes should live in harmony with nature.D.The tribes should adapt to the connected world.11.What can be the best title for the text?A.The Nomadic Tribes in the World B.Seeking Survival of TribesC.The Unavailable Tribal Environment D.Protecting the Tribal ForestsDChinese researchers have developed a robot designed to help doctors treat the new coronavirus and other highly infectious diseases.The machine has a long robotic arm attached to a base with wheels.It can perform some of the same medical examination tasks as doctors.Cameras record the robot’s activities,which are controlled remotely so doctors can avoid coming in close contact with infected patients.Doctors and other medical workers can operate the machine from a nearby room,or from much farther away.The robot’s main designer is Zheng Gangtie,an engineer and professor at Tsinghua University.He told a news agency that he got the idea for the device around the time of the Lunar New Year in January,when the COVID-19 virus was spreading quickly.Zheng said a friend of his is the head of Beijing’s Tsinghua Changgung Hospital.He said his friend told him that one of the biggest problems in dealing with COVID-19 was that healthcare workers treating patients were getting infected themselves.Zheng said he wanted to do something to help this situation.So the engineer gathered a team and went to work on the robotic device.The team was able to convert(转换) two robotic alls.The devices use the same technology that is used for space equipment.The new robot is almost completely automated and perform the most dangerous tasks.However,some doctors said that it would be better not to build such robots to be fully automatic.This is because many patients still desire a personal presence to help calm them during treatment.The plan is to use the robot to help treat coronavirus patients,along with assistance from nurses and other hospital workers.Zheng said he would like to build more of the robots and does not plan to make any profit from the design,but hopes that a company can begin that process.12.What is one feature of the robot?A.It takes the place of doctors.B.It performs tasks through cameras.C.It flees patients from diseases.D.It allows doctors to work from a distance.13.Why did Zheng mention his friend in Paragraph 4?A.To appreciate his timely help.B.To introduce the caring expert.C.To explain the reason for creating the device.D.To show the great danger of COVID-19 virus.14.What did some doctor say about the device in Paragraph 5?A.It requires some improvement.B.It can’t replace doctors completely.C.It is not useful to patients.D.It is of great convenience.15.What can be inferred about Zheng?A.He cares little about money.B.He gets on well with his friends.C.He is a leading scientist in his field.D.He is a teacher at Tsinghua University.第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

Send it to the host organizer in Q&A phase.BCafeterias have been filled with challenges—right from planning, purchasing, and preparing, to reducing waste, staying on budget, managing goods, and training staff. Through the tedious process, restaurateurs lacked a unified platform for efficient management. To bring consistency to the unorganised catering(餐饮)industry, childhood friends Arjun Subramanian and Raj Jain, who shared a passion for innovation, decided to partner in 2019 to explore opportunities in the cafeteria industry.In May 2020, they co-founded Platos, a one-stop solution for restaurants with a custom technology kit to streamline all aspects of cafeteria management. The company offers end-to-end cafeteria management, staff selection and food trials to ensure smooth operations and consistent service. "We believe startups solve real problems and Platos is our shot at making daily workplace food enjoyable again. We aim to simplify the dining experience, providing a convenient and efficient solution that benefits both restaurateurs and customers and creating a connected ecosystem, "says Subramanian, CEO and co-founder.Platos guarantees that a technology-driven cafeteria allows customers to order, pay, pick up, and provide ratings and feedback. It also offers goods and menu management to effectively perform daily operations. Additionally, its applications connect all shareholders for a smart cafeteria experience. "We help businesses that are into catering on condition that they have access to an industrial kitchen setup where they' re making food according to certain standards," Jain states.Since the beginning, Platos claims to have transformed 45 cafeterias across eight cities in the country. Currently, it has over 45,000 monthly users placing more than 200,000 orders. Despite facing challenges in launching cafeterias across major cities in the initial stages, Platos has experienced a 15% increase in its month-over-month profits.As for future plans, the startup is looking to raise $1 million from investors as strategic partners, bringing in capital, expertise, and networks. "Finding the right lead investor is the compass that points your startup toward success," Subramanian says.4. What does the underlined word "tedious" in Paragraph 1 mean?A. Time-consuming.B. Breath-taking.C. Heart-breaking.D. Energy-saving.5. What is the purpose of founding Platos?A. To connect customers with a greener ecosystem.B. To ensure food security and variety in cafeterias.C.

Platos has achieved its ultimate financial goal.B. Platos has gained impressive marketing progress.C. Challenges in food industry can be easily overcome.D. Tech-driven cafeterias have covered most urban areas.7. What is Subramanian's future plan for Platos?A. To reduce costs.B. To increase profits.C. To seek investment.D. To innovate technology.CWith a brain the size of a pinhead, insects possess a great sense of direction. They manage to locate themselves and move through small openings. How do they do this with their limited brain power? Understanding the inner workings of an insect's brain can help us in our search towards energy-efficient computing, physicist Elisabetta Chicca of the University of Groningen shows with her most recent result: a robot that acts like an insect.It's not easy to make use of the images that come in through your eyes when deciding what your feet or wings should do. A key aspect here is the apparent motion of things as you move. "Like when you're on a train,” Chicca explains. "The trees nearby appear to move faster than the houses far away." Insects use this information to infer how far away things are. This works well when moving in a straight line, but reality is not that simple. To keep things manageable for their limited brain power, they adjust their behaviour: they fly in a straight line, make a turn, then make another straight line.In search of the neural mechanism(神经机制)that drives insect behaviour, PhD student Thorben Schoepe developed a model of its neuronal activity and a small robot that uses this model to find the position. His model is based on one main principle: always head towards the area with the least apparent motion. He had his robot drive through a long passage consisting of two walls and the robot centred in the middle of the passage, as insects tend to do. In other virtual environments, such as a space with small openings, his model also showed similar behaviour to insects.The fact that a robot can find its position in a realistic environment is not new. Rather, the model gives insight into how insects do the job, and how they manage to do things so efficiently. In a similar way, you could make computers more efficient.In the future, Chicca hopes to apply this specific insect behaviour to a chip as well. "Instead of using a general-purpose computer with all its possibilities, you can build specific hardware; a tiny chip that does the job, keeping things much smaller and energy-efficient." She comments.8. Why is "a train" mentioned in Paragraph 2?A. To illustrate the principle of train motion.B. To highlight why human vision is limited.C. To explain how insects perceive distances.D. To compare the movement of trees and houses.9. What does Paragraph 3 mainly talk about concerning Schoepe's model?A. Its novel design.B. Its theoretical basis.C. Its possible application.D. Its working mechanism.10. What do the researchers think of the finding?A. Amusing.B. Discouraging.C. Promising.D. Contradictory.11. What will Chicca's follow-up study focus on?A. Inventing insect-like chips.B. Studying general-purpose robots.C. Creating insect-inspired computers.D. Developing energy-efficient hardware.DWith the help from an artificial language(AL)model, MIT neuroscientists have discovered what kind of sentences are most likely to fire up the brain's key language processing centers. The new study reveals that sentences that are more complex, because of either unusual grammar or unexpected meaning, generate stronger responses in these language processing centers. Sentences that are very straightforward barely engage these regions, and meaningless orders of words don't do much for them either.In this study, the researchers focused on language-processing regions found in the left hemisphere(半球)of the brain. By collecting a set of 1,000 sentences from various sources, the researchers measured the brain activity of participants using functional magnetic resonance imaging(fMRI)while they read the sentences. The same sentences were also fed into a large language model, similar to ChatGPT, to measure the model's activation patterns. Once the researchers had all of those data, they trained the model to predict how the human language network would respond to any new sentence based on how the artificial language network responded to these 1,000 sentences.The researchers then used the model to determine 500 new sentences that would drive highest brain activity and sentences that would make the brain less active, and their findings were confirmed in subsequent human participants. To understand why certain sentences generate stronger brain responses, the model examined the sentences based on 11 different language characteristics. The analysis revealed that sentences that were more surprising resulted in greater brain activity. Another linguistic(语言的)aspect that correlated with the brain's language network responses was the complexity of the sentences, which was determined by how well they followed English grammar rules and bow logically they linked with each other.The researchers now plan to see if they can extend these findings in speakers of languages other than English. They also hope to explore what type of stimuli may activate language processing regions in the brain's right hemisphere.12. What sentences make our brain work harder?A. Lengthy.B. Logical.C. Straightforward.D. Complicated.13. What is the function of the AL model in the research?A. To examine language network.B. To reduce language complexity.C. To locate language processing area.D. To identify language characteristics.14. How did the researchers carry out their study?A. By conducting interviews.B. By collecting questionnaires.C. By analyzing experiment data.D. By reviewing previous studies.15. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?A. AL Model Stimulates Brain ActivitiesB. AL Model Speeds Up Language LearningC. AL Model Reveals the Secrets of Brain ActivationD. AL Model Enhances Brain Processing Capacity第二节(共5小题; 每小题2.5分, 满分12.5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。

The study. (22)_________ has yet to be published in a scientific Journal, adds another dimension to scientists(23)________ (grow)understanding of how plants detect and interact with their surroundings.In recent years, it has become very clear that plants are more sensitive than researchers (24)_________ (think). They respond when touched by insects and turn toward sources of light. “Plants are not just robotic stimulus-response devices,” said Frantisek Baluska of the University of Bonn in Germany. “They’re living organisms which have their own problems.”Actually making their suffering hearable, however, is another matter entirely.(25)________(test) that possibility, a team led by Itzhak Khait, a plant scientist at Tel Aviv University in Israel, placed microphones capable of detecting ultrasonic frequencies(超声波频率) four inches from tomato and tobacco plants. The researcher then either stopped watering them or cut their stems.Measuring in the range of 20 to 150 kilohertz (千赫) the researchers found that even happy healthy plants madethe occasional noise. But when cut, tobacco plants emitted (26)_________average of 15 sounds within an hour of being cut, (27)_________tomato plants produced 25 sounds.(28)_______researchers aren’t yet sure how plants produce these sounds, Khait and his colleagues proposed one possibility in their paper (29)____________as water travels through the plants' tubes, air bubbles will form and explode, producing small vibrations.All this “screaming” caused by stress wasn’t in a range detectable by human ears. But organisms that can hear ultrasonic frequencies like mice, bats or perhaps other plants (30)________possibly hear the plants cries from as far away as 15 feet.Section BDirections: Fill in each blank with a proper word chosen from the box. Each word can be used only once. Note that there is one word more than you need.Italians find “Moments of Joy in this Moment of Anxiety”It started with the national anthem. Then came the piano chords, trumpet blasts, violin serenades(小夜曲) and even the clanging of pots and pans--all of it (31)_________from people’s homes, out of windows and from balconies, and resounding across rooftops.Finally, on Saturday afternoon, a nationwide (32)__________of applause broke out for the doctors on the medical front lines fighting the spread of Europe’s worst coronavirus outbreak.Italians remain (33)_________under house arrest as the nation, the European front in the global fight against the coronavirus, has ordered extraordinary restrictions on their movement to prevent infection.But the music and noise erupting over the streets, from people (34)_________in their homes, reflects the spirit, resilience and humor of a nation facing its worst national emergency since the Second World War.To the extent that this is a virus that tries people' s souls, it has also demonstrated the (35)__________of those national characters.In China, patriotic truck drivers risked infection to bring(36)_________needed food to the people of Wuhan, the epicenter of the outbreak. In Iran, videos show doctors in full combat dress and masks dancing to keep (37)_______up. And in Italy, the gestures of gratitude and music ring out above the country’s empty streets, while social media feeds fill with (38)___________, sentimental and humorous web videos.Images of nurses collapsed from exhaustion or their faces bruised(使受瘀伤) from tightly(39)________maskshave also spread across the web in recent days. Parents posted pictures of unicorns and rainbows drawn by young children with the title “It will all be OK.”“We’re Italians, and loving singing is part of our culture,” said Giorgio Albertini, 51, an archaeology professor who clapped from his apartment balcony in the university district of Milan, calling it a way “to feel a community, and to have the (40)_________grief.”Ⅲ Reading ComprehensionSection ADirections: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.Making choices is hard. That would be why researcher Moran Cerf has (41)_________it from his life. As a rule, he always chooses the second menu item at a restaurant.This is (42)___________by his research in neuroeconomics(神经经济学)( a somewhat new, divisive field) at Northwestern University. As Business Insider describes, Cerf has extended his ideas which draw on some controversial ideas in psychology, including ego depletion out into a piece of advice that, to (43)_________happiness, people should "build a life that requires (44)________decisions by surrounding themselves with people who possess traits they prefer.On an instinctive level, Cerf’s idea (45)_____________: Many choices people make are the product of social pressures and the inputs of (46)___________people around them. One example Cerf furnishes is that, (47)________consistently ordering the second menu item. he never picks where to eat. Rather, he (48)________his decision to his dining partner which friend he plans to eat with, probably one he trusts and always lets them pick.While it's (49)__________what, if any, scientific principles underlie those pieces of advice, there is no shortage of research showing that choices can sometimes feel more(50)_______than liberating. An example from Quanta poits (假设): If you have a clear love of Snickers(士力架), choosing that over an Almond Joy(杏仁巧克力) or a Milky Way(牛奶巧克力) should be a(51)________. And, as an experiment conducted by neuroscientist Paul Glimcher at NYU shows, most of the time it is, (52)_________you introduce more choices. When the participants were offered three candy bars (Snickers, Milky Way, and Almond Joy) they had no problem picking their favorite, but when they were given the option of one among 20, including Snickers, they would sometimes drift away from their (53)_____. When the choices were taken away in later trials. the participants would wonder what caused them to make such a bad decision.As Quanta details, according to a model called" 'divisive normalization(分裂归一化), which has gained some popularity, the way the brain encodes choices has a lot to do with how it values all its options. So, if you have twothings that are clearly (54)___________, brain areas involved in decision-making fire in a pattern that makes the decision clear. When the choices are comparable. the brain does its best to focus on the distinctions between the two, but more choices (55)_________ that ability out.41. A. relieved B. released C. eliminated D. liberated42. A. influenced B. inherited C. implemented D. informed43. A. maximize B. balance C. cherish D. seek44. A safer B. fewer C. better D. sounder45.

For each of them there are four choices marked A. B. C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)One spring day, once the flowers have begun to open, a bee will hover (盘旋)and zip through your yard and dive-bomb your picnic table. While you're thinking about avoiding an attack, that bee is focused on something else entirely: me.A honeybee has about six weeks to live. Today, like most days, her task is to fly as many as three miles from home. stick her long. straw like tongue into a hundred or so flowers. When the bee has had her fill. she’ll fly home. There the bee will deposit what she has got into the mouth of one of her co-workers, who will relay it to another, and so on for about 20 minutes, until the mixture is ready to be placed into the comb. Then she and her 50.000 or so mates will hover in the dark all night every night, flapping their wings to create hot, breezy conditions to remove the waterfrom the mixture. Several sunrises later, they will seal me off in a golden cell of beeswax. In her lifetime, our bee may visit 4,000 flowers, and yet will produce only one-twelfth a tea spoon of me.The average American consumes nearly a pound and a half of me every year, in tea, on toast, and beyond. If I do say so myself, I am a timeless treasure. Literally I never go bad.Unfortunately, my good health is not guaranteed. The problem lies in the growth of industrial agriculture and the use of pest control chemicals, as well as changes in weather patterns, all of which reduce the number of flowers bees have to visit. I’d appreciate your letting your own garden grow just a little wild. My future depends on all of us fostering spring and summers wild flowers, thus helping the bees, who give so much to you, to me without ever asking for anything in return.56. What does “me” refer to in the passage?A. The flower.B. The bee.C. Water. D Honey.57. What is the 2nd paragraph mainly about?A. Bees’ special talent.B. Bees’ hard work.C. Bees’ living environment.D. Bees’ social behavior.58. Which one of the following is true according to the passage?A. A bee will always prioritize attacking picnic lovers.B. Before “me” is sealed off in beeswax, the drying process can take a few nights.C. The lifework of a bee satisfies the average demand of an American consumer annually.D. Bees are more likely to visit those deliberately pest-controlled gardens59. What is the purpose of the passage?A. To appeal for help for honeybees.B. To talk about the history of a treasure.C. To put forward techniques for gardeners.D. To argue against the control of chemicals.(B)Get Your Unlimited Card at Cineworld CinemasEnjoy Unlimited FilmsWatch all the films you want at any Cineworld for just one monthly price.Being an Unlimited card holder gives you access to all the 2D films you canhandle for one monthly price.

If it extends further south overpopulated areas, such as southern Greenland, people would be at increased risk of sunburn. However, on current trends the hole is expected to disappear altogether in a few weeks.Low temperatures in the northern polar regions led to an unusual stable polar vortex(极地漩涡) and the presence of ozone-destroying chemicals such as chlorine(氯)in the atmosphere-from human activities caused the hole to form.“The hole is principally a geophysical curiosity.” said Vincent-Henri Peuch, director of the Copernicus Atmosphere Monitoring Service. “We monitored unusual dynamic(动态的)conditions, which drive the process of chemical depletion of ozone. Those dynamics allowed for lower temperatures and a more stable vortex than usual over the Arctic, which then triggered the formation of polar stratospheric(平流层的)clouds and the catalytic(催化的) destruction of ozone.”The hole is not related to the Covid-19 shutdowns that have dramatically cut air pollution and reduced greenhouse gas emissions. It is also too early to say whether the unusually stable Arctic polar vortex conditions are linked with the climate crisis, or part of normal stratospheric weather variability.Peuch said there were no direct implications for the climate crisis. Temperatures in the region are already increasing, slowing the depletion of ozone, and the hole will start to recover as polar air mixes with ozone rich air from lower latitudes. The last time similar conditions were observed was in spring 2011.While a hole over the Arctic is a rare event, the much larger hole in the ozone layer over the Antarctic has been a major cause for concern for more than four decades. The production of ozone depleting chemicals has been dramatically reduced, under the1987 Montreal Protocol(蒙特利尔协议), but some sources appear still to be functioning in 2018unauthorized emissions were detected from some areas.New sources of ozone depleting chemicals were not a factor in the hole observed in the Arctic, said Peuch. “However, this is a reminder that one should not take the Montreal Protocol measures for granted and that observations from the ground and from satellites are central to avoid a situation where the ozone destroying chemical level in the stratosphere could increase again.”63. What is the possible meaning of the underlined word “depletion”?A. replacement.B. consumption.C. increase.D. production.64. According to the passage, scientists are concerned about the hole because____________.A. it is expected to be a threat to the mankind.B. the new hole is caused by air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions.C. it may encourage further scientific research and environmental awareness.D. it wars us of an oncoming climate crisis.65. What can be learned from the last two paragraphs?A. The hole over the Arctic shares the same causes as the one over the Antarctic.B. Human activities are highly responsible for producing ozone-destroying chemicals.C. The Montreal Protocol has successfully prevented new emissions.D. Some new illegal emissions are to blame for the hole over the Arctic.66. The best title for the passage is probably_________.A. Record-size Hole Opens in Ozone Layer above the Arctic.B Actions Urgently Needed for a New Hole in Ozone Layer.C Environmental Disaster and International Cooperation.D. How a Hole in Ozone Affects our Life on Earth.Section CDirections: Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.People like to post their selfies(自拍照)on social media. To know more about it, scientists at Syracuse University in New York recently did a research and came up with some surprising findings.People who post selfies and use editing software to make themselves look better show behaviors connected to narcissism, the researchers said. (67)_________Makana Chock, a professor from Syracuse University. said because social media is mostly used by people to share unimportant information about their lives, it is a good place for people to “work towards satisfying their own vanity.” Those “likes” under their Facebook selfies make them feel good.(68)_________Some people feel “peer pressure” to post selfies and some follow the popular belief that if there is no picture of an event or experience. it did not really happen. “Anyway, it shouldn’t be seen as negative. People get sense of satisfaction especially when they get likes. And it does no harm,” Chock said.Other findings from the study include: There are no major differences on how often men and women post selfies and how often they use editing software. (69)_______Chock said posting selfies on social media is not all that different from what people have done for many years. On trips and special events, our parents and grandparents used cameras instead of phones to take photos. They would bring back photos to show friends and family. You had no choice but to look at them. You probably commented about how nice everyone in the photos looked, especially children and the person showing the photos. They were happy to hear your comments. (70)__________On social media, however, people can decide not to look at photos even if they click “like”.TV. Summary WritingDirections: Read the following passage, Summarize the main idea and the main point(s)of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.It's natural to feel the need to control something when everything around you feels out of control, and you feel helpless. When a friend of mine first heard about the coronavirus outbreak. she got down on her hand. and knees and cleaned her kitchen floor. She told me, “My floor wasn’t even dirty, but doing something constructive made me feel in control and that I was holding on to my power, despite the desperate circumstances.”Your most powerful weapon against uncertainty is your perspective because nobody and no situation can take that from you unless you give it away. Your perspective can victimize or empower you. When you look for the upside in a downside situation and figure out what you can control and what you can't, it's easier to accept whatever is beyond your control.高三英语调研测试(试卷参考答案)I Listening ComprehensionSection A1-5 BDBCB6-10 CBCCDSection B11-13 AAC14-16 BAD17-20 ACDCII.

However, that is precisely how the fish-found in the waters off Northern Australia-moves across the seafloor. The unique ocean animals were discovered by a team of scientists led by Dr. Christine Dudgeon from Australia's University of Queensland during a 12-year global conservation study.The newly-found sharks have evolved to survive in low oxygen environments, enabling them to hunt during low tides. The researchers believe their ability to use their fins(鳍) to walk affords the sharks a remarkable edge over the smaller animals they try to hunt. “While they are super hunters in their shallow habitat, the tiny sharks present no threat to people,” says Dudgeon. “At less than a meter long on average they're incredibly cute little animals that do not look like sharks at all,” she adds.A DNA analysis of skin samples from the live fish suggests that walking sharks broke away from their original population and became a distinct species about nine million years ago. Though that may appear to be a long time ago, it is relatively recent given that sharks have been around for more than 400 million years. In fact, Dudgeon and her team believe walking sharks are the youngest kind of sharks on Earth!The researchers say that the sharks’ small numbers and shallow habitat make them extremely vulnerable(易受伤害) to natural disasters and overfishing. They are currently on the Nature Red List, which lists species at risk. Dudgeon and her team believe sensible conservation management plans are urgently needed to protect the walking sharks and other endangered animals from further threats.4.What is the most noticeable feature of the newly-found sharks?A. They are cute and harmless to humans.B. They can survive in their shallow habitat.C. They walk on their fins across the seafloorD.

Geography【答案】4—7 CADBCThe Tokyo Summer Olympics is going green. The 5,000 medals Japan has made are more special than most.One novel focus of the Tokyo Olympics is to be "sustainable"-to avoid using too many natural resources, so that the games are easy on the environment. As part of this goal, the organizers decided to make all of the Olympic medals out of metal recycled from old electronics.Almost all electronics are made with small amounts of "precious metals". like gold and silver. But collecting enough of these metals to make medals was huge challenge. That's because the amount of metal in each device is tiny.It would take about 20,000 cell phones to get just I kilogram of gold.Beginning in April 2017, the organizers placed collection boxes around the country, and asked people to turn in their old electronic devices. Soon people began to respond to the initiative, turning in smartphones digital cameras, handheld games and laptops. At first, collection went slowly, but soon more and more areas began to take part. By the end, 1, 621 local governments had helped out with the collection process.Then came the job of breaking those devices down into smaller pieces. After being taken apart and sorted, the small electronics were smelted(熔炼) to get all the gold, silver, and bronze elements. This is a tricky job, which calls for careful attention and good skill. It's also dangerous, because some of the metals and other things aren't safe for people to touch or breathe.By the end of March, 2019, the organizers had hit their targets of getting enough metal for the medals. They had collected around 32 kilograms of gold. 4,100 kilograms of silver and 2,200 kilograms of bronze. And now all the 5,000 medals are available for the would-be winners.8. What can we know about the Tokyo Olympics medals?A. They are hugely valuable.B. They are of high quality.C. They are designed uniquely.D. They are made from e-waste-.9. What does Paragraph 4 mainly tell us?A. The difficulty of making the medals.B. The process of collecting old electronics.C. The initiative to recycle used smartphonesD. The classification of the collected devices.10. The underlined word “tricky” in Paragraph 5 means “_____”A. creativeB. well-paidC. demandingD. time-consuming11. What's the purpose of Tokyo's way of making the medals?A. To advocate sustainable use of resources.B. To promote the spirit of Olympic Games.C. To introduce a new technique to make medals.D. To call people's attention to environmental damage.【答案】8—11 DBCADOver the last 25 years,psychologists have found that personalities center on five basic traits(特性)--the Big Five: agreeableness,conscientiousness(责任心),neuroticism, extroversion and openness. Contrary to common belief, people just aren’t organized into certain personality types. Every trait is a continuous dimension and everyone can be described as having varying levels of each trait. A new research has also found animals from ants to apes all have the Big Five and that the universality of personality points to an evolutionary(进化)origin.Animals and humans have common problems of survival, which are spelled out beautifully in the Big Five,and that’s why there’s so much continuity in human personality and anim al personality. For example,conscientiousness involves behaviors like planning and consideration,which are important among animals for taking care of their young. selecting mates and living in groups. Being neat and orderly-aspects of conscientiousness-also has evolutionary superiority. Bees that like to keep clean and remove more dead group members reduce risk of disease,gain more weight and reproduce more. Spiders that make tidy webs catch more insects. Birds that build neater and solider nests attract more mates.These behaviors may seem primitive,but they’re nevertheless indications of personality.Personality is the expression of all of the behaviors that humans and animals exhibit that allow them to function adaptively in the world.Evolution can also explain why personalities vary so much . Depending on the situation, each of the Big Five can be advantageous. For example, agreeableness is great for relationships. But if a lion were charging at you, you'd be better off with a less agreeable and more aggressive personality. Because the world is so unpredictable, every aspect of each personality trait could be useful at different times, so instead of evolving a single type of personality that's best for every situation, we're left with a wide variety.12. What do people generally think about personality types?A. Different personality types have respective strengths.B. Everyone falls into a particular personality type.C. People with common personality types gather.D. Everyone has mixed personality types.13. What’s the purpose of mentioning some animals in Paragraph 2?A. To illustrate the advantages of being conscientious.B. To analyze survival chances of cooperative animals.C. To explain why they are tidy and orderly.D. To throw new light on their behavior.14. Why do we display a certain personality in a specific situation?A. To be free of trouble.B. To be adaptive to circumstances.C. To compete for equal rights.D. To gain advantages over others.15. What does the text mainly focus on?A. Personality and behavior.B. Categories of the Big Five.C. Contradictory facts on personality.D. Diversity and variability of personality.【答案】12-15 BABD第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5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。

ABy the time Michael Phelps retired at 31, he 1 (collect) a total of 23 golds, three silversand two bronzes at the Olympics, a record that looks unlikely to be broken for many years 2 (come).

I could hear the 12 “She’s huge!” Obviously, the kids on the bus ha d known each other well. I spent that first bus 13 in silence.The following day was even 14 . I did not notice that a few boys had tied a shoelace across the aisle and thus fell face first on the bus, 15 everything I was carrying. 16 I was embarrassingly gathering my supplies, I could hear the laughter, and then the 17 “That felt like an earthquake!” Anyway, I 18 to find a seat.

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

body.Now,she’s planning on camping in the snow.“The journey to get there is really exciting,”she said.Since Boy Scout activities are led by the Scouts themselves,Morgan,as the oldest girl,will be organizing activities and teaching the girls to tie knots and other skills.One of those girls in Troop48 is Nicolette U1rich,who is also in the Girl Scouts.Her mother,Sasha Ulrich,said she sees,the Boy Scouts as more leadership oriented and the Girl Scouts as more culturally oriented.This will be shown by all upcoming gathering where girls will learn about different food and cultures from around the world.“Girl Scouts is a great group and she’11 continue to do that.”Sasha said.“But she also wanted the opportunities provided by the Boy Scouts.”9.What did Morgan want to do after becoming a full member of Boy Scouts?A.She wanted to join in the activities with her brother.B.She wanted to challenge herself to become,all Eagle Scout.C.She wanted to compete with boys in all activities.D.She wanted to hike long distances and shoot guns with boys.10.What is the best word to describe Morgan?A.Communicative B.Helpful C.Creative D.Adventurous 11.What does Sasha Ulrich think of Boy Scouts?A.It is more culturally oriented.B.It helps to build teamwork.C.It helps to improve leadership.D.It is more interesting than Girl Scouts.DOne step too farScientists have been trying to figure out how to alter the genes of humans for many years now,and it looks like they’ve finally cracked(破解)the code.But while this may seem like a great step forward in science,some also believe that it’s one step back when it comes to ethics.In August,a group of scientists from the US and South Korea worked together to successfully edit a human embryo and remove a genetic mutation(突变)that would have led to heart disease,reported The Guardian.This was achieved with the help of CRISPR,a gene-editing tool that allows scientists to“cut and paste”human DNA.Although this was the first example of an embryo’s genes being changed successfully,the benefits of gene editing have already been tested in living patients.In 2015,a five-month-old girl from the UK was saved after doctors used edited cells to fight off her cancer.As of today,she’s alive and well.And in the US last year,scientists managed to remove HIV cells from several patients by editing the genes inside their bodies.Some people hope that in the future,diseases or birth detects could simply be “edited out”.However,others believe this could lead to so-called designer babies,giving parents the option to choose everything from eye color to intelligence.“You could find wealthy parents buying the latest‘upgrades’for their children,leading to even greater inequality than we already live with,”Marcy Darnovsky,director of the SanFrancisco Center for Genetics,told BBC News.In spite of these ethical concerns,experts say it’s not possible to create the“perfect”human being.Despite the progress scientists have made,We don’t understand human genes enough to give all unborn child great brainpower or amazing singing abilities.“Right now,we know nothing about genetic enhancement,”Hank Greely,a director of sciences at Stanford University,US,told The New York Times.“We’re never going to be able to say,honestly,‘This embryo looks like it would score high on the two-part SAT.’”So it looks like if we want good exam results,or to impress people with our piano skills,we’11 have to stick with the old fashioned method of plain hard work—at least for now.12.The underlined word“alter”in Paragraph 1 probably means________.A.record B.change C.remove D.increase13.Why do some people consider human gene editing a step backwards?A.They don’t think it is an effective way to light diseases.B.They are concerned that it could lead to genetic mutations.C.They think it could lead to designer babies and increased inequality.D.They worry that it could make parents abandon children with birth defects.14.What was the first successful example of human embryo gene editing?A.A genetic mutation related to heart disease was removed by scientistsB.A newborn baby with cancer was saved by edited cells.C.HIV cells were removed from patients’bodies.D.Some birth defects were simply edited out.15.What can we conclude from the text?A.Gene editing is regarded as the perfect way to treat birth defects.B.There is still a long way to go to fully understand human genes.C.Gene editing could help enhance human intelligence in the near future.D.Scientists are pessimistic about the future of gene editing.第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

AOur favorite tech gifts of 2019W hen it comes time for the holiday shopping season, we’re extra choosy about the countless technology products that we will buy and give to friends and family. Here’s what impressed editors, reporters and producers the most in 2019.Lumos MatrixI recently bought a Lumos Matrix helmet (头盔) ($229) with built-in lights to make riding my bike at night a lot safer and less stressful. It’s a regular pain point for bikers like me to make sure absent-mind ed drivers see you, especially when it’s dark. This definitely helps.—Matt mcfarland, Writer Goodreads appAlthough this isn’t a gift, the free Goodreads app is a gamechanger. At the beginning of 2019, I promised myself I’d read at least one new book every month. I set a goal of 12 books on Goodreads and used it to track my progress, keep a list of books I’m interested in and check out what friends and others on the app were recommending. I read 35 books this year!(That’s up from five books last year.) Goodreads feels like one of the rare feel-good social networks.—Kaya Yurieff, Tech Reporter Ember coffee cupI drink my coffee slowly so it has routinely cooled by the time I get halfway through it. For my birthday, my mum bought me a cup ($99), which keeps my coffee warm until I finish itwithout trips to the microwave for reheating. I can also set the specific temperature I want. It makes my mornings so much easier.— Millie Dent, Intern1. What is the main advantage of Lumos Matrix helmet?A. Helping drivers concentrate.B. Managing the bad weather.C. Making night riding safer.D. Making bikers less painful.2. What does the writer mean by referring to the Goodreads app as “a gamechanger”?A. It changes some readers’ reading rules.B. It provides readers with free internet games.C. It limits the number of books a reader can read.D. It inspires readers to read more through interactions.3. Which of the following can best describe Ember coffee cup?A. Eco-friendly.B. Convenient.C. Expensive.D. Simple.BEvery year, the brightest young scientists from around the globe come together to participate in the world’s largest pre-college science competition, the Intel International Science and Engineering Fair (ISEF). They demonstrate their knowledge of science and engineering to improve the way we work and live.One of 2019’s winners, Katie Lu, found a method for removing oil from water. This concept can also be applied to the removal of microplastics from our oceans as well.Here is what Katie told reporters:My experience at Intel ISEF was amazing! I remember on judging day, walking the exhibit hall and looking at the people gathered outside waiting to get in. My teacher turned to me and said, “That’s the future right there.” It was so amazing to spend time with all of these participants who are going to do amazing things in the future.My scientific career has taught me not to fear failure and not to be afraid to ask for help. It’s really easy to be overwhelmed (挫败) and wonder if what you’re doing is going to work out, but even if it doesn’t, it’s OK! Always look on the positive side! A failure now doesn’t mean you’re a failure forever. Failure makes success feel earned when it comes. Also, asking for help is good when you’re struggling. You learn how to do things a lot faster and more efficiently.I’m shocked that some people are still skeptical about climate change. It is real, it is dangerous and it is one of the most important issues of our generation. Reducing carbonemissions isn’t a “should”, it is a “must” to continue living on the planet. Additionally, people aren’t really worried about their personal impact on the earth in terms of littering, overusing plastic or wasting resources. If we don’t curb harm ful human activity before it’s too late, it will be a problem that affects all humans, not just those that contribute.4. What seems to concern Katie most?A. Ocean exploration.B. The overpopulation on the earth.C. Environmental problems.D. The shortage of natural energy.5. What can we learn from what Katie’s teacher said?A. No Intel ISEF, no future.B. All the talents are at the Intel ISEF.C. The participants will make the future amazing.D. Katie should try to do better than the other participants.6. What does Paragraph 5 mainly tell us?A. The setbacks Katie experienced in her science.B. The relationship between failure and success.C. Seeking help is a shortcut to doing things well.D. What Katie has gained from her scientific career.7. What does the underlined word “curb” in the last paragraph most probably mean?A. Punish.B. Control.C. Deny.D. Measure.CThe Underwater Photographer of the Year, which originated from 1965, is a yearly contest based in the United Kingdom. As you might expect, the focus is on photos taken under water, whether in the ocean, in lakes or rivers, or even swimming pools.The pictures are judged in several different categories. The contest in 2019 had over 5,500 entries from 70 different countries.The grand prize winner was “Frozen Mobile Home” byFrench photographer Greg Lecoeur. The photo shows sealsswimming around a small iceberg. To get the picture, Mr. Lecoeurtraveled to Antarctica in a small boat and spent time tracking thelife around floating icebergs.The photo “Last Dawn, Last Gasp” by Pasquale Vassallo ofItaly won the award for Ocean Protection Photographer of the Year.Mr. Vassallo said that he went diving early in the morning to takethis picture of a tuna (金枪鱼) trapped as fishermen pulled theirnets in.Mr. Vassallo also took “Octopus T raining”, a picturethat won in the category of “Behavior”. He says that whenhe came up after a dive, he noticed a soccer ball floating onthe surface. When he went to check it out, he saw that therewas an octopus hanging from the ball. Mr. Vassallo says hedoesn’t understand what the octopus was doing, but wondersif it was training for the World Cup.Though Rooman Luc of Belgium didn’t win the “Portrait” category, his photo, titled “Angry S eahorse”, is quite striking. The close-up shot of a seahorse staring strictly into the camera was named runner up (second place). He said he spent nearly an hour standing in knee-high water being bitten by mosquitos in order to get the picture.The contest has many more amazing photos that can be viewed on the site, along with the stories behind them. There is even a book with all of the contents that can be downloaded for free.8. Which isn’t suitable to enter the Underwater Photographer of the Year contest?A. The crying dolphin.B. Saving the elephant.C. The dancing lemon shark.D. Kissing the whale.9. In which section of a website can we read the text?A. Arts.B. Literature.C. Documentary.D. Education.10. What is the photo “Last Dawn, Last Gasp” aim ed to tell us?A. A tuna is hard to shoot.B. We should protect ocean animals.C. Diving early in the morning is painful.D. There are too many fishing nets in the sea.11. What can we learn from the photo of “Octopus Training”?A. The Octopus is endangered.B. Photo-taking should be serious.C. The photographer has a sense of humor.D. The photographer is concerned about the Octopus.DIf you’ve ever been on a fishing boat, you’ve probably seen crowds of birds following i t, hoping to catch a snack. Now scientists use those birds’ behavior to track illegal fishing boats.Researchers attached data loggers to the backs of 169 albatrosses (信天翁) in Indian oceans. Weighing only 42 grams, the devices included a GPS, which enabled them to detect the presence and intensity of radar signals emitting from boats. That information was then sent by satellite, so the researchers could track the location of the birds—and thus the radar-emitting boats—in real time.The scientists then cross-checked that data against the known locations of boats, collected from a system boats use to declare themselves, called the Automatic Identification System (AIS). And noticeable differences appeared frequently.More than a third of the times the birds “loggers” detected radar signals, and therefore a boat, but no such boat appeared in the official log—meaning that the vehicles had likely switched off their AIS—something that probably happens in illegal fishing operations.The work suggests birds could be an effective boat-monitoring tool as long as illegal fishing operations don’t target the birds.Fortunately, such a task would be difficult. Around fishing boats, you can find hundreds of birds at any one time that are flying around. And the birds with loggers are not marked in any way. So it’s not really possible for fishermen to pick out a specific bird.But what concerns researchers is that albatrosses often get caught by some fishing boats. Though regulations have been established to protect against that happening—with success—illegal boats don’t necessarily obey. So scientists might be underestimating the risk posed to albatross populations.12. What characteristic of albatrosses do scientists take advantage of in their research?A. Their feeding patterns.B. Their sense of direction.C. Their greedy behaviors.D. Their habit of following fishing boats.13. For what purpose does a boat shut off its AIS?A. To seek more fishes.B. To have it mistaken for another.C. To avoid being detected.D. To save the trouble of declaring itself.14. What does “such a task” in Paragraph 6 refer to?A. Identifying birds with loggers.B. Monitoring illegal boats.C. Tracking radar signals automatically.D. Fishing illegally.15. What could be the best title for the text?A. AIS: an Effective System to Locate BoatsB. Humans Are Good at Discovering Bird s’ NatureC. Data Loggers Help Fishermen Get a Good HarvestD. Scientists Use Birds to Track Illegal Fishing Operations第二节 (共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5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。
