【全国百强校】山西省太原市第五中学2019届高三下学期阶段性检测（4月）英语试题学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________一、阅读选择It is commonly believed that in medieval France, New Year was celebrated on 1 April. Then in 1562, Pope Gregory introduced a new calendar for the Christian world, changing New Year to 1 January. With no modern communications, news travelled slowly and new ideas were often questioned. Many people did not hear of the change, some merely forgot, and others chose to ignore it. These people were called fools. Invitations to non-existent “New Year” parties were sent and other practical jokes were played. Over time playing tricks on 1 April became a tradition. The custom eventually spread to England and Scotland, and it was later transported across the Atlantic to the American colonies (殖民地) of the English and the French. April Fools’ Day has now developed into an international festival of fun, with different nationalities celebrating the day in special ways.France and ItalyIn France and Italy, if some one plays a trick on you, you are the “fish of April”. By the month of April fish have only just hatched and are therefore easy to catch. Children stick paper fish to their Friends’ backs and chocolate fish are found in the shops.America and BritainToday, Americans and the British play small tricks on friends and strangers alike on 1 April. A common trick is to point to a friend’s shoe and say “Your shoelace(鞋带) is untied.” When they look down, they are laughed at. Schoolchildren might tell a friend that school has been cancelled. Sometimes the media get involved. Once, a British short film was shown on April Fools’ Day about spaghetti farmers and how they harvest their crop from spaghetti trees!ScotlandIn Scotland, April Fools’ Day lasts for two days! The second day is called “Taily Day” and tricks on this day involve the bottom (or the “tail”, in informal speech). Often a sign saying‘kick me’ is stuck onto someone’s back without them knowing.1．In what condition would someone be called “fish of April” in France?A．When one is fooled.B．If one is fond of fish.C．When one fools others.D．If one prefers chocolate.2．What was the purpose of the British short film?A．To help the audience.B．To trick the audience.C．To warn the audience.D．To inform the audience.3．Where does April Fools’ Day last for more than one day?A．Italy. B．France.C．America. D．Scotland.Fashions have a lot of rules. Most of them, however, are just wrong. But there’s one rule that goes beyond tradition and into the field of scientific study of the brain: Black garments are slimming. It all comes down to how your visual system processes the light. The below holes in each square are the same in size, yet the white hole looks bigger than the black hole.In the 1500s, Galileo Galilei noticed that some of the planets looked larger when viewed with the naked eye (肉眼) than they did when viewed through a telescope, making the white light of Venus (金星) appear eight to ten times larger than Jupiter (木星) in the night sky. He knew somet hing strange must be going on with his vision to cause this illusion, but he wasn’t sure what it was. Luckily, scientists never stopped wondering, and in 2014, they figured it out.Our visual system operates via two main channels: “on” neurons (神经元) that are sensitive to light things and “off” neurons that are sensitive to dark things. When it came to the dark “off” neurons, the researchers found that they responded predictably to dark shapes on a light background — the greater the contrast between the two, the more active these neurons were. But the light “on” neurons behaved unpredictably. Even with the same amount of contrast, light objects on a dark background caused a greater response in these neurons.This makes some sense, evolutionarily speaking. In the dark of night, you’d want to be able to take in every bit of light you can get, so a visual system that enlarges light objects on adark background could be very useful. However, it’s not that hard to see dark objects in the light of day. It has some effects in the colors of your clothes and in the appearance of the planets — the brighter appearance of Venus in the night sky makes it look bigger than the darker Jupiter.4．What did Galileo Galilei believe according to Paragraph 2?A．The neurons led to the difference.B．There was something wrong with his telescope.C．The difference was caused by his visual illusion.D．Things were bigger when seen through telescopes.5．What do we know about the “off” neurons?A．They are sensitive to light objects.B．Their b ehavior can’t be predicted.C．They behave differently from person to person.D．Their activeness improves with the contrast of colors.6．What does the author think of the phenomenon?A．It makes people feel puzzled.B．It brings great harm to people.C．It is more common among youths.D．It is beneficial to people’s evolution.7．What is the text mainly about?A．Why we look thinner when in black.B．What visual illusions bring to people.C．How we are affected by the fashion rules.D．Whether people’s visual system is different.“No matter where you are or what time it is there’s something going on at a Hard Rock Cafe. All over the world our cafes not only serve great food, but they serve up great music.” Hard Rock Cafes around the world symbolize the timeless e nergy, originality and unifying(团结的) spirit that have helped to shape rock music over the last century.Founded by two Americans, the first Hard Rock Cafe (HRC) opened its doors to the public on June 14, 1971, in London. Today, HRC has become a global phenomenon with more than 180 cafes in different countries.HRC has also become the world’s leading collector and exhibitor of rock ‘n’ roll memorabilia. It all started when Eric Clapton, a regular at the first HRC, asked the staff if they could hang his guitar on the wall to mark his favourite stool (凳子) as “his spot”. They did and one week later, a package from Pete Townshend arrived with a guitar and a note with the message, “Mine’s as good as his! Love, Pete.”Ever since then, Hard Rock Cafes have been collecting pieces of rock memorabilia and covering their walls with them. Their collection is rotated from restaurant to restaurant and provides the world’s most comprehensive “visual history” of rock ‘n’ roll. These treasures include an awe-inspiring collection of classic guitars and other instruments, posters, music, etc.Throughout its history, HRC has been governed by a special service philosophy: “Love All —Serve All.” Since it was established, HRC has taken part in a wide variety of humane activities around the world. Following its idea of being more than just a restaurant, HRC tries to connect its business and its passion to make the earth a safer, healthier and better place to live.All in all, Hard Rock Cafe International is an entertainment company that continues to successfully expand the Hard Rock brand through countless music-related activities. 8．What is the purpose of the first paragraph?A．To explain why HRC is a success.B．To show the characteristics of HRC．C．To describe the excellent service of HRC．D．To introduce what you can share in a HRC．9．Why did Pete send his guitar to the first HRC in London?A．He wanted to occupy a seat.B．He wanted to pay his bill with it.C．He wanted his guitar to be assessed.D．He wanted his guitar to be put on its wall.10．What do we know about the HRC’s collection?A．It is related to rock ‘n’ roll.B．It is housed in the first HRC．C．It was advocated by Eric Clapton.D．It was financed by regular customers.11．What does the HRC’s service philosophy imply?A．HRC welcomes everyone to the cafe.B．HRC is operated for a charitable purpose.C．HRC offers various activities to its customers.D．HRC provides the best service at the lowest price.二、七选五When you write a message or an email, you might put a smiling face or other pictures at the end to make the message more fun. These pictures are emojis (表情符号). 12．Later, they were used on Apple’s iPhone and Android phones. Now they are everywhere!Emoticon or emoji?Before emojis, there were emoticons, which can be made from the signs you can find on your keyboard, for example :-) for a smiley. Emoji is a Japanese word which means photograph.e (“picture”) + moji (“character”). 13．There are all kinds of emojis, from faces and weather pictures to things in the kitchen and animals.What are emojis for?In English, we have a saying: A picture paints a thousand words. For many people, an emoji is like a punctuation mark, or smiling at someone across the room. 14．It is like the tone (语气) of voice when we speak on the phone, or gestures used in conversation.15．When someone speaks and looks serious, we try to look serious, too, and when someone smiles, we smile as well. This is how we show empathy (共鸣) and make friends.But when we are online, we can’t see the person’s face a nd there is no emotion. 16．Scientists in Australia have discovered that when we look at a smiley face online, the same parts of the brain start working as when we look at a real smiley face. Our mood changes, and we try to change our face to match the emoji.A．How do they affect us?B．Emojis are real pictures.C．Why are emojis important?D．The invention of emojis changed that!E.This means that emojis have created a new brain pattern in us.F.The first emojis appeared on Japanese mobile phones in the 1990s.G.A written message is black and white, but an emoji adds emotions to our messages.三、完形填空The first time 10-year-old Jordie Rowland came into the barber shop, it was a disaster.Jordie, who has autism (自闭症), 17 with his parents to run outside the moment he entered the shop. I ended up 18 around the shop with him that day. I got in a few cuts 19 stopped the haircut when I saw Jordie was 20 . Cutting hair can be 21for some children with aut ism. Jordie was no different.

I gave him a full haircut for the first time. I realized our slow, two-year effort had 35 .Two weeks later, Jordie let me do it again. I often don’t charge them the cost of the haircut.

They are places where all ages and social classes mix to talk, do business, or just spend a couple of quiet hours before heading home in the evening.There are many different types of beer available in pubs. Traditional British beer is called bitter or ale, and is usually served at room temperature. As a result, the British are famous for their “warm beer”! If you prefer a coldbeer, ask for lager. This beer is a light yellow in color whereas(而) bitter is a darker brown. All beers are served as pints(500ml) or halves(250ml). To order, you need to ask for a pint or half, and then name the beer. So, you could say, “__________.”Wine, red or white, is normally available in all pubs, as are spirits such as whisky, gin or vodka.It is not, however, necessary to drink alcohol. Non-alcoholic drinks are called soft drinks. You can have juice, lemonade or cola, among others.If you visit a pub in a group, it is important to pay for your “round”. This means that you buy a drink for everyone in your group. Not buying your round is a big social mistake! Remember that you need to order and pay for your drinks at the bar.So, follow these tips if you want to get the most out of visiting a pub, and, “cheers！”51. Wha t’s the best title of the passage?

AIt is commonly believed that in medieval France, New Year was celebrated on 1 April. Then in 1562, Pope Gregory introduced a new calendar for the Christian world, changing New Year to 1 January. With no modern communications, news travelled slowly and new ideas were often questioned. Many people did not hear of the change, some merely forgot, and others chose to ignore it. These people were called fools. Invitations to non-existent “New Year” parties were sent and other practical jokes were played. Over time playing tricks on 1 April became a tradition. The custom eventually spread to England and Scotland, and it was later transported across the Atlantic to the American colonies (殖民地) of the English and the French. April Fools’ Day has now developed into an international festival of fun, with differ ent nationalities celebrating the day in special ways.France and ItalyIn France and Italy, if someone plays a trick on you, you are the “fish of April”. By the month of April fish have only just hatched and are therefore easy to catch. Children stick pap er fish to their Friends’ backs and chocolate fish are found in the shops.America and BritainToday, Americans and the British play small tricks on friends and strangers alike on 1 April. A common trick is to point to a friend’s shoe and say “Your shoelac e(鞋带) is untied.” When they lookdown, they are laughed at. Schoolchildren might tell a friend that school has been cancelled. Sometimes the media get involved. Once, a British short film was shown on April Fools’ Day about spaghetti farmers and how they harvest their crop from spaghetti trees!ScotlandIn Scotland, April Fools’ Day lasts for two days! The second day is called “Taily Day” and tricks on this day involve the bottom (or the “tail”, in informal speech). Often a sign saying ‘kick me’ is stuck o nto someone’s back without them knowing.21. In what condition would someone be called “fish of April” in France?A. When one is fooled.B. If one is fond of fish.C. When one fools others.D. If one prefers chocolate.22. What was the purpose of the British short film?A. To help the audience.B. To trick the audience.C. To warn the audience.D. To inform the audience.23. Where does April Fools’ Day last for more than one day?A. Italy.B. France.C. America.D. Scotland.BI have never been a fan of the phrase, “No pains, no gains.” I prefer the alternative version, “No pains, no pains!” When it comes to exercise, for example, I learned years ago that pushing through pain was more likely to lay me up with an aching back than to leave me feeling strong and healthy.But there are times when stressful situations actually do lead to greater happiness. A new study published in the Journal of Happiness Studies found that people who pursue (追求) goals that are tough to achieve feel more stress in the moment, but greater happiness in the aftermath particularly if they feel connected to others along the way.The researchers concluded that happiness increases when people develop greater competence in something and greater competence only comes when people keep on working through the stress-inducing phase of trying, fighting, and trying again to learn and grow. If the psychological needs to be autonomous or self-directed, and to be connected to others are met, the momentary stresses will be less acute, and theresulting happiness will be more lasting.This idea reminds me of another often quoted phrase, which I have heard in reference to challenging tasks, such as exercise —“Fill-in-the-blank-stressful-task is the worst thing to do, but the greatest thing to have done.” In other words, suffering from the stress of an exercise class that leaves us feeling sweat-drenched shouldn’t lead us to walk away from exercising. And if we can pass those stressful moments with a friend, colleague or family member who is trustworthy and supportive, all will be better.As I travel my positive path, I’m certainly not seeking out stress. But life will offer me plenty of it, whether I ask for it or not. My task is to choose wisely when and how to face it head-on, knowing that happiness awaits on the other side.24. What makes the author prefer “No pains, no pains”?A. His terrible fear of pain.B. His deep love of exercise.C. His great desire for health.D. His past experience of pain.25. What results in people’s happiness according to the new study?A. Their tolerance for stress.B. The connection with others.C. Their ability to deal with stress.D. The achievement of their goals.26. What does the author think of challenging tasks?A. They are acute and lasting.B. They are tiring and boring.C. They are stressful but rewarding.D. They are interesting but unhelpful.27. How does the author treat stress in his life?A. Seek it out purposefully.B. Handle it wisely.C. Ask for help bravely.D. Wait until it disappears.CFashions have a lot of rules. Most of them, however, are just wrong. But there’s one rule that goes beyond tradition and into the field of scientific study of the brain: Black garments are slimming. It all comes down to how your visual system processes the light. The below holes in each square are the same in size, yet the white hole looks bigger than the black hole.In the 1500s, Galileo Galilei noticed that some of the planets looked larger when viewed with the naked eye (肉眼) than they did when viewed through a telescope, making the white light of Venus (金星) appear eight to ten times larger than Jupiter (木星) in the night sky. He knew something strange must be going on with his vision to cause this illusion, but he wasn’t sure what it was. Luckily, scientists never stopped wondering, and in 2014, they figured it out.Our visual system operates via two main channels: “on” neurons (神经元) that are sensitive to light things and “off” neurons that are sensitive to dark things. When it came to the dark “off” neurons, the researchers found that they responded predictably to dark shapes on a light background — the greater the contrast between the two, the more active these neurons were. But the light “on” neurons behaved unpredictably. Even with the same amount of contrast, light objects on a dark background caused a greater response in these neurons.Th is makes some sense, evolutionarily speaking. In the dark of night, you’d want to be able to take in every bit of light you can get, so a visual system that enlarges light objects on a dark background could be very useful. However, it’s not that hard to se e dark objects in the light of day. It has some effects in the colors of your clothes and in the appearance of the planets —the brighter appearance of Venus in the night sky makes it look bigger than the darker Jupiter.28. What did Galileo Galilei believe according to Paragraph 2?A. The neurons led to the difference.B. There was something wrong with his telescope.C. The difference was caused by his visual illusion.D. Things were bigger when seen through telescopes.29. What do we know about the “off” neurons?A. They are sensitive to light objects.B. Their behavior can’t be predicted.C. They behave differently from person to person.D. Their activeness improves with the contrast of colors.30. What does the author think of the phenomenon?A. It makes people feel puzzled.B. It brings great harm to people.C. It is more common among youths.D. It is beneficial to people’s evolution.31. What is the text mainly about?A. Why we look thinner when in black.B. What visual illusions bring to people.C. How we are affected by the fashion rules.D. Whether people’s visual system is different.D“No matter where you are or what time it is there’s something going on at a Hard Rock Cafe. All over the world our cafes not only serve great food, but they serve up great music.” Hard Rock Cafes around the world symbolize the timeless energy, originality and unifying(团结的) spirit that have helped to shape rock music over the last century.Founded by two Americans, the first Hard Rock Cafe (HRC) opened its doors to the public on June 14, 1971, in London. Today, HRC has become a global phenomenon with more than 180 cafes in different countries.HRC has also become the world’s leading collector and exhibitor of rock ‘n’ roll memorabilia. It all started when Eric Clapton, a regular at the first HRC, asked the staff if they could hang his guitar on the wall to mark his favourite stool (凳子) as “his spot”. They did and one week later, a package from Pete Townshend arrived with a guitar and a note with the message, “Mine’s as good as his! Love, Pete.”Ever since then, Hard Rock Cafes have been collecting pieces of rock memorabilia and covering their walls with them. Their collection is rotated from restaurant to restaurant and provides the world’s most comprehensive “visual history” of rock ‘n’ roll. These treasures include an awe-inspiring collection of classic guitars and other instruments, posters, music, etc.Throughout its history, HRC has been governed by a special service philosophy: “Love All — Serve All.” Since it was established, HRC has taken part in a wide variety of humane activities around the world.Following its idea of being more than just a restaurant, HRC tries to connect its business and its passion to make the earth a safer, healthier and better place to live.All in all, Hard Rock Cafe International is an entertainment company that continues to successfully expand the Hard Rock brand through countless music-related activities.32. What is the purpose of the first paragraph?A. To explain why HRC is a success.B. To show the characteristics of HRC.C. To describe the excellent service of HRC.D. To introduce what you can share in a HRC.33. Why did Pete send his guitar to the first HRC in London?A. He wanted to occupy a seat.B. He wanted to pay his bill with it.C. He wanted his guitar to be assessed.D. He wanted his guitar to be put on its wall.34. What do we know about the HRC’s collection?A. It is related to rock ‘n’ roll.B. It is housed in the first HRC.C. It was advocated by Eric Clapton.D. It was financed by regular customers.35. What does the HRC’s service philosophy imply?A. HRC welcomes everyone to the cafe.B. HRC is operated for a charitable purpose.C. HRC offers various activities to its customers.D. HRC provides the best service at the lowest price.第二节（共5小题，每小题3分，满分15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。

第I卷选择题 (共50分)第一部分阅读理解（共两节，满分30分）第一节（共15题；每小题2分，满分20分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。

AWhat Is a Harvest Festival?Harvest Festival is a celebration of the food grown on the land. In England, we have given thanks for successful harvests since pagan times(异教徒时代). We celebrate this day by singing, praying and decorating our churches with baskets of fruit and food in a festival known as “Harvest Festival”, usually during the month of September.Harvest Festival reminds Christians of all the good things God gives them. This makes them want to share with others who are not so fortunate. In schools and in churches, people bring food from home to a Harvest Festival Service. After the service, the food that has been put on display is usually made into parcels and given to people in need.When Is Harvest Festival?Harvest festivals are traditionally held on or near the Sunday of the Harvest Moon. This is the full moon which falls in September, about Sept. 23. unlike the USA and Canada, the UK does not have a national holiday for Harvest Festival.History of Harvest Festival—Traditions and CustomsHarvest Festival used to be celebrated at the beginning of the Harvest season on 1 August and was called Lammas, meaning “loaf Mass”. Farmers made loaves of bread form the new wheat crop and gave them to their local church. They were then used as the Communion bread during a special mass thanking God for the harvest. The custom ended when Henry VII broke away from the Catholic Church, and nowadays we have harvest festivals at the end of the season.Farmers celebrated the end of the harvest with a big meal called harvest supper. This wasrather like a Christmas dinner, but as turkeys were unknown at that time, a goose stuffed(填充) with apples was eaten. Goose Fairs are still held in some English towns, but geese are no longer sold.The tradition of celebrating Harvest Festival in church as we know it today began in 1843.1. We can infer from the text that _____.A. Harvest Festival is celebrated on August 1 today in Britain.B. Harvest Festival is the most important festival in Britain.C. traditional festivals are sometimes affected by politicsD. Harvest Festival will be celebrated only when the harvest is good2. During Harvest Festival people used to _____.A. sing, pray and decorate churchesB. enjoy eating geeseC. eat turkeys stuffed with applesD. have harvest supper for days3. What is the text mainly about?A. Introductions to the British Harvest Festival.B. The colorful life in the countryside.C. Some activities for weekend breaks.D. Unknown stories about British history.BI have been living in the United States for more than a decade, and I now say thank you about50 times a day. Most of the time, I do it without thinking. I say thank you to the cashier at the coffee shop. I say thank you to the stranger who holds the door open for me at a restaurant. I say thank you to my wife and my 5-year-old daughter several times a day for various things.When I first moved to the United States, I didn’t know I was supposed to thank someone who took my money for something I bought at a store. I didn’t know I was supposed to thank people when they asked how I was doing. I had no idea how I was supposed to respond to the police officer who gave me a speeding ticket and then said, “Thanks, and have a good day.”I grew up in the northern Indian city of Lucknow, in a culture in which saying thank you is not done lightly. I learned to say thank you in English in elementary school, and when I thanked anyone, I said it in English, which was less embarrassing and more casual than doing so in Hindi.I reserved my thanks for those who had done huge favors for me. And I rarely thanked my friendsor classmates. When I did, they either smiled quizzically at me or regarded the act as a kind of joke—a playful way to practice English.When I say dhanyavaad, or “thank you” in Hindi, I make sure to look the person in the eye. Saying dhanyavaad to someone without looking at him or her is just as good as not saying it at all. As a kid, I never heard anyone my age say thank you in Hindi. I did hear my father say dhanyavaad to people his age, but he did it as sincerely as possible, with his hands joined in front of his chest. He wasn’t just thanking someone for something, but asking for an opportunity to return the favor. That’s how I came to understand expressions of gratitude.Now, when I travel to India, I often offend people by saying thank you to them. On a recent trip home, I was invited to my uncle’s house for dinner. He’s been a father figure to me, teaching me many things and advising me at every step of my life. That day, I made the mistake of telling him, in English, “Thank you for inviting me” before leaving his house, realizing the import of my words only after they had left my mouth. He didn’t respond, but I saw his expression turn sour. He was filled with disgust. I couldn’t even apologize for thanking him. The damage was done.4. From the first paragraph we can learn that the author _____.A. thinks Americans are too politeB. appreciate the American cultureC. is used to the American thank-you cultureD. is popular with Americans for his politeness5. According to the text, when saying dhanyavaad in Hindi, one _____.A. should speak it in a gentle and sincere voiceB. must put his hands in front of his chestC. is supposed to look at the personD. had better wear a big smile on his face6. What can be inferred about the Indian culture from the last paragraph?A. Saying thank you in a foreign language is impolite.B. One shouldn’t say thank you in a casual way.C. It is unusual to apologize to family members.D. It creates distance to thank someone close.CDyslexia is a learning disorder. It affects the ability to recognise words, and for some readers to understand what they have read. Experts say dyslexia affects about five to ten percent of the population of the United States. Researchers have long known that people with dyslexia write or read letters backward in the wrong order.But a new study shows that people with dyslexia may have trouble redirecting their attention between senses, from seeing something to hearing something. Vanessa Harrar led the study, she reported the findings in the journal Current Biology. The study suggests that dyslexic people may have trouble moving quickly from what they read to what they hear. Doctor Harrar calls this a “sluggish shifting of attention across the senses”.In the study, doctor Harrar tested 17 people with dyslexia, and 19 others without reading problems. The volunteers were asked to push a button as quickly as possible when whey heard a sound, saw a light or experienced both together. Doctor Harrar compared the speed of their reactions.She found that people with dyslexia were just as fast as the others when they saw only a picture or heard only a sound. But the dyslexics had a slower reaction time when they heard a sound and saw a picture at the same time.Doctor Harrar feels like playing action video games could help dyslexic people shift from seeing to hearing more quickly. She adds that images in video games force the eye to move and focus quickly.The study also shows that dyslexic people have the most difficulty going between what they saw and what they heard. This may have an effect on how dyslexic children are taught how to read. When children learn the alphabet, they usually see the letter first and then hear the sound, or they see and hear the letter at the same time. The study shows that dyslexics might learn more quickly if they hear the sound of a letter or word first before seeing it.7. Dylexia may affect a person’s _____.A. social skillB. learning abilityC. reading interestD. sense of happiness8. What can we learn from the study about people with dyslexia?A. They learn more quickly if they see a word first before hearing it.B. They learn more slowly than others when they see only a picture.C. They may react more quickly when they see and hear the letter at the same time.D. they have difficulty in shifting attention between seeing and hearing.9. The underlined word “sluggish” in Para2 means _____.A. heavyB. slowC. suddenD. simple10. Where does this text probably come from?A. A reading note.B. An advertisement.C. A teaching essay.D. A science report.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

From the passage, what can we learn?A. A resident from Macao can only book his ticket with his mainland travel permits.B. Tickets cannot be booked through the event WeChat account.C. One can be admitted in at any time with an unlimited entry pass.D. Visitors must use their real names to buy tickets.22. If a PLA soldier takes his wife, his 64-year-old father and five-old-year son to the expo on June 7, how much will he pay for their tickets?A. 360.B. 480.C. 400.D. 520.23. Where is the passage most probably taken from?A. A notice board.B. A report.C. A magazine.D. A book review.BFriends always ask why I, a middle-aged woman with no athletic talent, travel to perilous places — the jungles of Thailand or Borneo, for example, where the water is often unsafe and the food risky; places with infectious diseases, poisonous snakes and the wildest animals; some places where the locals are just a few generations past headhunting.I never know how to answer. My travel decisions assumed a new gravity nine years ago after高三英语第3页(共22页)高三英语第4页(共22页)I suffered a stroke. To prevent another stroke, my doctors told me, I’d have to take dangerously high levels of blood thinner (血液稀释剂) for the rest of my life and any travel would be risky.I had to think about what was important to me: family, of course, and friends. But then what? No matter how many times I thought about it, no bucket list was complete without travel. Then I had to decide how I might manage the risk. I had to decide how lucky I felt.My return to travel after my stroke came in baby steps. The first real test of my travel courage came nine months after my stroke when I joined my husband, Jack, on a business trip to China. After we’d toured the remains of a Tang dynasty temple on a high mountain, Jack wanted to ride down on a toboggan (长雪橇).Before the stroke it would’ve seemed like fun. But now? I hesitated. M y mental klaxon (高音喇叭) screamed warnings about the consequences of a cut, a fall, and a crash. Then, gaining confidence from who knows where, I lowered myself carefully into the toboggan, which marked my adventure travel comeback.In the years since then, I’ve traveled about twenty-five percent of the time. Through it all, my lucks held out — no deadly falls, no car accidents or serious infections. For me, adventure travel is a risk worth taking. Travel broadens my world and keeps me connected to nature. Wh at’s more, saying “yes” to travel keeps me connected to myself.24. What does the underlined word “perilous” in Paragraph 1 probably mean?A. Unique.B. Dangerous.C. Historical.D. Famous.25. What did the doctors advise the author to do?A. Do proper exercise.B. Enjoy the rest of her life.C. Keep away from traveling.D. Spend more time with her family.26. Why did the author mention her travel to China?A. It was her last adventure.B. She recovered her courage through it.C. She liked the beautiful scenery in China.D. It was the most dangerous experience in her life.27. What is the best title for the text?A. A business trip to ChinaB. Unique travel experiencesC. Why I still travel to the wildD. How I overcame the fear of diseaseCThe new president of Harvard University is the son of an Eastern European refugee and Auschwitz (奥斯威辛) survivor —Lawrence S. Bacow. His father worked full time while attending a state college in Detroit at night to earn his degree.Bacow, the former president of Tufts University, has taken over Harvard at a time when higher education is under attack for being financially out of reach to many Americans. But Bacow said his family’s journey had reflected the power of college education to transform generations and the opportunities that have historically been available in the United States.“My parents came to this country with almost nothing,” Bacow said. “I wouldn’t be here if this country had not been open to people like my parents at that time. Nor would I if my father hadn’t had the opportunity to get the college education.”Bacow grew up in Pontiac, Michigan. His father’s family fled anti-Jewish (反犹太的) violence in Minsk, then part of the Soviet Union, before the start of World War II and went to the United States. His mother arrived in Brooklyn at age 19, having survived Auschwitz concentration camp. She was the only Jew from her town to have survived the war. Yet Bacow, who is married with two sons, said that while growing up in Michigan, he had a happy childhood, entering science fairs as a child and building radios like his dad.Bacow has spent most of his professional career at MIT, Harvard and Tufts. He was a professor of environmental studies at MIT, and later a principal at the university. He led Tufts from 2001 to 2011. At Tufts, Bacow earned a reputation for shaking up a sleepy university that was being overshadowed by its peers in Boston. He is also credited with leading it through both 9/11 and the 2008 financial crisis.As the Tufts president, Bacow traveled around the country, reaching out to alumni (校友), and he urged his faculty and deans to do the same, in an effort to boost donations to finance Tufts’ academic ambitions. He raised more than $20 million for faculty recruitment, attracting up-and-coming professors by offering junior faculty perks (福利), such as long academic leaves that they couldn’t get elsewhere.Under Bacow’s leadership, Tufts spent millions on labs and libraries. He also made addresses nationally about the need to make higher education more accessible and affordable to low-income students.28. The reason why Bacow appreciates college education is that .A. college education is out of reach to many AmericansB. his family changed their fate due to college educationC. few opportunities were available when his father came into the countryD. a college degree helped his mother survive Auschwitz29. What can we infer from the passage?A. The fellow townspeople of Bacow were all killed besides his mother.高三英语第7页(共22页)高三英语第8页(共22页)B. Bacow’s mother stimulated his interest in science.C. Bacow’s father was good at working with electronics.D. Bacow’s father came to the U.S. after World War II broke out.30. The underlined word “shaking up” in paragraph 5 probably means .A. reactivatingB. causingC. damagingD. taking over31. What is this passage mainly about?A. How to be admitted to Harvard University.B. The history of Bacow’s family.C. The art of Bacow’s leadership in Tufts.D. Bacow’s way to indivi dual success.DProfessional athletes pay a high price for their pursuit of excellence and glory. Training to the limit tears muscles and wears out joints. Gymnasts often need hip replacements when barely into middle age. Few footballers make it to the end of their careers with their knees intact.But many also run a darker risk: doping —the use of banned athletic performance-enhancing drugs by athletic competitors. The Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang, in South Korea, starts this week in its shadow. Years after whistle-blowers first revealed wholesale (大规模的) doping in Russia, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) at last decided to bar it from taking part. But it has allowed many Russians to compete as individuals. And on the eve of the competition the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) said that 28 others should receive a more tolerant penalty from the IOC, further muffling the anti-doping message.Russia’s doping is unusual only in its scale and institutional nature. No country or sport is immune. Studies, and an anonymous survey at the World Athletics Championships in 2011, suggest that a third of athletes preparing for big international competitions take banned substances. Yet just 1-2% fail a test each year. Lance Armstrong, a cyclist who won the Tour de France seven times and later admitted to doping all the while, was tested on 250 occasions. The few times he failed, he avoided punishments by claiming he had taken anti-inflammatories (消炎药) for saddle-sores (骑行引起的肌肉酸痛).Doping is more sophisticated than when some states used steroids (类固醇) to bulk up athletes. New drugs are designed to be undetectable in a blood or urine sample. Many athletes “blood dope,” receiving transfusions or taking a drug that stimulates the production of red blood cells to improve their physical strength. Soviet athletes who were fed steroids suffered a host of serious problems in later life. They were more likely to commit suicide, or to miscarry (流产) or have a disabled child. No one knows what risks those taking new “designer” versions are running. Blood-doping can cause heart attacks; more than a dozen cyclists’ deaths have already been linked to it.The agencies that set out to stop doping are hugely outclassed. As the argument over punishments on Russia illustrate, they are divided and weak. Most testing is done by national bodies, which may not try very hard to find evidence that would get their own stars banned. The World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA), which oversees them, is packed with officials fromnational sports federations and the IOC. Their interests are likewise conflicted. Its budget is tiny. The system seems to be designed to look tough but punish only the occasional scapegoat (替罪羊). Honest athletes deserve better.32. The word “muffling” (in paragraph 2) is closest in meaning to “.”A. deafeningB. conveyingC. spreadingD. weakening33. Why did the author cite an instance of Lance Armstrong?A. To illustrate he is a model of Russian athlete.B. To show cycling is very popular in France.C. To indicate doping exists everywhere.D. To suggest doping is an exception for American athletes.34. Which of the following is NOT a side-effect of steroids?A. Giving birth to an unhealthy child.B. Suicidal tendencies.C. Stimulates the production of red blood cells.D. Unintentionally having a pregnancy end early.35. What can be inferred from the passage?A. The CAS should put more severe penalties on Russian athletes.B. The Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang have not been successful due to doping scandals.C. Doping is quite common among athletes in France and Russia.D. W ADA does a good job monitoring doping in the Olympics.第二节（共5小题，每小题3分，满分15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。

(10*3=30)ABelow are some fantastic works that you can spare time to enjoy.I Stand Here IroningThe story is set in the working class home of the narrator (叙述者), who comments that when her child Emily was born, they were poor. Her thoughts are about what she would have done differently while raising Emily if she had been more experienced. The mother is standing in the room, ironing and recalling the whole trip of her and her daughter’s life. Her feeling that she is responsible for her daughter’s suffering is the main idea of this short story.OdysseyAs a great poem, Odyssey had been recited or sung for years and years before it was written down. It tells the story of old Greek war hero Odysseus’ dangerous journey home from the battlefield. He beats a cyclops through wisdom, chats with dead people, and faces the angry sea god before finally arriving home.The Chronicles of NarniaThe book has sold more than 100 million copies worldwide. Set in the kingdom of Narnia, a world of magic, beasts, and talking animals, the book narrates the adventures of various children. The main characters are all children from the real world, who are magically transported to Narnia, where they’re called upon by the lion Aslan to protect Narnia from evil.Of Mice and MenThis book follows two farm hands looking for work: the bright George and the disabled but big-hearted Lennie, who doesn’t know his own strength. The two men don’t know the fact that even the simplest American dreams are often out of reach until the tale comes to an end. “Though short, this novel can really make us feel sad and bring about our sympathy,” said editor, Dawn Raffel.1. I Stand Here Ironing is a story about __________.A. a mother’s struggle for lifeB. a mother’s plan for the futureC. a mother’s sacrifice for her familyD. a mother’s guilty feelings for her daughter2. What can we know about The Chronicles of Narnia?A. It’s a book series.B. It’s full of great fantasies.C. It’s based on real events.D. It’s a description of adults’ adventures.3. If you’re interested in stories from ancient times, you can choose ________.A. OdysseyB. Of Mice and MenC. I Stand Here IroningD. The Chronicles of NarniaBVacations are wonderful opportunities to visit colleges.So my friend and I went to see colleges in Connecticut.In most of the places professors or students were eager to show us around and talk to us.However, I ended up disliking one university simply because no one bothered to help me.My friend wanted to see the theatre department and luckily she ran into a theatre major who was happy to tell of his experiences there.She immediately fell in love with the place.I really wanted to see the studio arts department.The arts building seemed huge and splendid.I wandered inside but was unable to find a single person.I went to the admissions office and asked if they could find someone who could show me around.Strangely, they didn't know one single person in the studio arts department！Finally they told me to go back to the building and ask for “Stacy”. No last name, just “Stacy”．I thought this should be interesting.I returned to the building and there happened to be one office open and a woman was there. After I explained, she replied quickly，“Well, I can't help you.I'm working on the computer.”(How rude！) After hearing “Stacy”， she pointed to another office.I found the socalled“Stacy” and all she said was that I could go downstairs and look around if I wanted.I explained that I had already been downstairs and that no one was there！She just shrugged(耸肩) and didn't know what to say.It'shard to believe that there wasn't a single person to help me in such a wellknown university.So if someone recommends(推荐) a school to you and says what a wonderful tour he/she had, you can't always take his/her word for it.My friend and I both visited this university on the same day, yet we had two totally different experiences.4. The author wrote the passage to________．A．advise us not to visit the studio arts departmentB．tell us not to believe what others say about a collegeC．explain to us how to choose a collegeD．show us different colleges in Connecticut5.

When the author was told to find “Stacy”， she ________．A．got angry and left the officeB．thought it would be interesting to look for this personC．got confused and didn't know what to doD．waited for “Stacy” in the admissions office7. Who will be mostly interested in this passage?A．Businessmen. B．Fashion designers.C．Students. D．DoctorsCNatural disasters are nature’s anger, which can upset even the most developed countries and make them into ruins. There is nothing we can do to stop such disasters happening. In that case it is quite possible that we are all short of electricity, water, food, etc. The basic necessities to be stored for times of disasters are explained below.Drinking water is a must for any human to survive. It has to be stored based onthe number of people in the household. A normal human would consume a gallon of watera day. Food is an important requirement. Especially in times of disasters, our bodies would be weak. Rich food is very important in such times of danger. Food like dry fruits would be ideal as they last long and give us energy. A First Aid Kit and basic medicines are a must and do remember to store some of them. Certain basic things suchas scissors and soaps would be handy. It is a good idea to have a radio to be updated with the ongoing news.An Earthquake Preparedness Kit would be of great help in fighting against an earthquake in the places where earthquakes take place very often. However, this can happen anywhere in the world so it is a must and should be well equipped in advance. There are wind storms that can leave behind a trail of destruction. The US has suffered from many tornadoes. Taking steps in advance to handle such unforeseen circumstances (情况) is a must. It is a good idea to plan an ideal place which would be helpfulin protecting you and your family from the storm. Floods and other natural disasters probably happen unexpectedly someday, so we need to make preparations for them.Do take steps in advance. Being well prepared is the only way that would help us recover from such disasters.8. From the first paragraph we can learn that natural disasters_______ .A. can’t be prevented by manB. can be controlled by humansC. can take place more oftenD. will ruin the earth someday9. Which kind of food is most suitable for storing according to the author?A. Meat and fish.B. Some dry fruit.C. Cakes and bread.D. Apples and pears.10. What is the main reason why a radio is needed?A. It is easy for you to carry one.B. It plays music to make you relax.C. It is very cheap and common.D. It lets you know the latest news. II.完形填空。

AAmsterdam, the capital and most populous city in the Netherlands, is one of the most popular travel destinations in the world, famous for its beautiful canals, top art museum, cycling culture, and Red Light District. Here are some of the key points to remember as you plan your trip to Amsterdam.Must-See AttractionsMost visitors begin their Amsterdam adventure in the Old Centre, which is full of traditional architecture, shopping centers, and coffee shops. You’ll also want to check out Amsterdam’s Museum Quarter in the South District, which is great for shopping at the Albert Cuyp Market and having a picnic in the Vondelpark. The top museums to visit are the Rijksmusuem, the Ann Frank House, and the Van Gogh Museum. The Canal Ring is a UNESCO World Heritage Site that was originally built to attract wealthy home owners and is a popular place for celebrity spotting and nightlife today.TransportationTravelers should be aware that Amsterdam Airport Schiphol is one of the busiest airports in the world. This airport is located about 15 kilometers southwest of city center. You can catch a train from Schiphol to Amsterdam Central Station, which has many connecting routes. It’s typically not a good idea to drive a car to the city center because traffic is heavy and parking is difficult to find. Cycling is incredibly popular here, and it’s easy to find cheap bike rentals around town. Amsterdam has a flat terrain(地形) and is a great city to explore on foot.Money Saving TipsUnless you really want to see the tulips(郁金香) blooming, avoid booking between mid-March and mid-May. This is when hotel and flight prices rise.Look for accommodations in Amsterdam’s South District, where rates are generally cheaper than in the city center.Buy train tickets at the machine instead of the counter to save a bit of money.Instead of hiring a tour guide, hop on a canal boat. They’re inexpensive and will give you a unique point of view of the city.Check out our homepage to view price comparisons for flights, hotels, and rental cars before you book.1.Which attraction was built with the original purpose of drawing the rich?A.Albert Cuyp Market.B. The Ann Frank House.C. The Van Gogh Museum.D. The Canal Ring.2. Which means of transportation is not advisable in Amsterdam according to the passage?A. The plane.B. The train.C. The car.D. The bike.3. Which way can help visitors save money in Amsterdam?A.Seeing the tulips blooming in spring.B. Avoiding accommodating downtown.C. Buying car tickets at the machine.D. Hiring a local tour guide.BAn Arizona woman who was attacked by a zoo’s jaguar(美洲虎) over the weekend has apologized and admitted she crossed a safety barrier(栅栏) to snap a photo.The woman Leanne told CBS News that she leaned over the barrier at Lichfield Park’s Wildlife World Zoo on Saturday, but she refused to admit she climbed over it as the zoo has said.“I never passed the barrier, but I do admit to leaning over the barrier,” she told the news network.The woman had injuries that were not life-threatening to her arm after the big cat caught onto her through a fence. A fellow park goer got the cat to release its painful grasp by distracting the animal with a plastic water bottle.Mickey Ollson, the director of Wildlife World Zoo, told ABC that the jaguar won’t be harmed because of “human behavior”. He added that this wasn’t the first tim e that the animal has injured a guest who got too close, however. It’s not clear whether the park plans to re-evaluate the barrier around the exhibit, which has been described as a 3-foot wall. Leanne hopes that they will.“I was in the wrong for leaning over the barrier, but I do think the zoo should look into moving their fence back,” she told CBS News. “I’m not the first, and if they don’t move the fence, I’m probably not going to be the last.”Kitty Block, president and CEO of the Humane Society of the United States, also urged the zoo and other parks to be cautious enough when it comes to separating the animals from people.“When various types of exhibitors promote all sorts of close meeting with wildlife, people get the mistaken idea that wild animals are approachable,” she said in a statement. “We urge the zoological community exhibitors to set a higher standard to protect people and to respect wildlife from a safe distance by doing away with public contact opportunities with wildlife of all species.”4.How did Leanne free from the danger of the jaguar?A.The zoo director helped her to get away from it.B.The jaguar was attracted by a bottle and let her go.C.Another park goer hurt the jaguar and it ran away.D.Leanne herself struggled with it and scared it away.5. What can we infer from Paragraph 5?A. Human behavior cannot have any influences on the jaguar in the zoo.B. The jaguar tends to attack the guests unexpectedly however far they stay.C. Leanne is doubtful whether the barrier around the exhibit is safe enough.D. The zoo has ensured the barrier will be evaluated again after the accident.6.What did Kitty Block advise the zoo and parks to do?A.Be very cautious to separate the animals from people.B.Look into moving their fence back and clear the barrier.C.Set a higher standard to build up a zoological community.D.Encourage people to have frequent meetings with wildlife.CRobot vacuum cleaners aren’t a new concept, having been around for more than 15 years, but they have become greatly more helpful since the days of catching on rug hairs, running out of battery mid-clean and forgetting where they were.But the next generation of disc-shaped floor-cleaners could bring some of the most important upgrades yet, including being more autonomous than ever and knowing exactly where they are in your home and where you need them to be.iRobot’s latest Roombas, the i7 and i7+, shown off at a recent event in Tokyo, will be arriving in Australia in the coming months. Their key new feature: persistent mapping of your home. The ability to map not only makes the robot quicker and more efficient, but lets it integrate(融入) more closely with smart homes. Once it’s explored your house a few times, the i7 will present you with a map via its smart phone app, which Angle says tends to be “maybe 80 per cent right”.As the robot travels around cleaning up dust, it draws a floor plan and uses a sensor(传感器) to identify landmarks and objects. Unlike previous models, the i7 remembers this information, meaning it will learn the most efficient paths around your home over time.If you change the layout of your furniture, it will adapt the existing map rather than having to create a whole new one and if you have a multi-storey house, it simply makes multiple maps, and uses its learned lan dmarks to determine which floor it’s on (you’ll still need to carry it up the stairs).iRobot’s CEO and founder Colin Angle says the i7 class, the company’s 10th generation Roomba, is the robot he’s always wanted to build; capable of keeping a home’s floor s clean with virtually no user input needed.“This robot has 30 times the processing power of its former generation,” he says. “So we’re fully into a situation today where we can be running machine learning and visual object recognition technology and very advanced algorithms(演算法; 运算法则) on the robot, to allow it to continue to work on increasingly complicated code.”7.According to the passage the robot cleaners invented 15 years ago could ______.A. catch on the hairs on the rugB.charge the battery mid-cleanC.draw the map of the homeD. know their exact home position8. The underlined word “layout” in Paragraph 5 can be replaced by ______.A.arrangementB. designC. styleD. size9. Which of the following statements about the i7 and i7+ is true?A.i7 remembers the identified landmarks like former models.B.They can enter the room upstairs themselves and clean it.C.They can do better in math than the previous cleaners.D.i7 can present a map exactly via its smart phone app.10.What can be the best title of the passage?A.Technologies in the Cleaner.B. The Future of iRobots.C. The Development of iRobots.D. The Latest Robot Cleaner.第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

The author wrote the passage to________．A．advise us not to visit the studio arts departmentB．tell us not to believe what others say about a collegeC．explain to us how to choose a collegeD．show us different colleges in Connecticut5. We can know from the passage that________．A．most of the colleges they visited weren't friendlyB．the author ran into a professor in the departmentC．the college was too old and smallD．the author's friend had a pleasant experience there6. When the author was told to find “Stacy”， she ________．A．got angry and left the officeB．thought it would be interesting to look for this personC．got confused and didn't know what to doD．waited for “Stacy” in the admissions office7. Who will be mostly interested in this passage?A．Businessmen. B．Fashion designers.C．Students. D．DoctorsCNatural disasters are nature’s anger, which can upset even the most developed countries and make them into ruins. There is nothing we can do to stop such disasters happening. In that case it is quite possible that we are all short of electricity, water, food, etc. The basic necessities to be stored for times of disasters are explained below.Drinking water is a must for any human to survive. It has to be stored based on the number of people in the household. A normal human would consume a gallon of watera day. Food is an important requirement. Especially in times of disasters, our bodies would be weak. Rich food is very important in such times of danger. Food like dry fruits would be ideal as they last long and give us energy. A First Aid Kit and basic medicines are a must and do remember to store some of them. Certain basic things suchas scissors and soaps would be handy. It is a good idea to have a radio to be updated with the ongoing news.An Earthquake Preparedness Kit would be of great help in fighting against an earthquake in the places where earthquakes take place very often. However, this can happen anywhere in the world so it is a must and should be well equipped in advance. There are wind storms that can leave behind a trail of destruction. The US has suffered from many tornadoes. Taking steps in advance to handle such unforeseen circumstances (情况) is a must. It is a good idea to plan an ideal place which would be helpfulin protecting you and your family from the storm. Floods and other natural disasters probably happen unexpectedly someday, so we need to make preparations for them.Do take steps in advance. Being well prepared is the only way that would help us recover from such disasters.8. From the first paragraph we can learn that natural disasters_______ .A. can’t be prevented by manB. can be controlled by humansC. can take place more oftenD. will ruin the earth someday9. Which kind of food is most suitable for storing according to the author?A. Meat and fish.B. Some dry fruit.C. Cakes and bread.D. Apples and pears.10. What is the main reason why a radio is needed?A. It is easy for you to carry one.B. It plays music to make you relax.C. It is very cheap and common.D. It lets you know the latest news. II.完形填空。

Everything will go well only if everybody does their duty honestly. Without honesty, we would have to worry about so many things that we wouldn’t be able to achieve anything.

AAmsterdam,the capital and most populous city in the Netherlands,is one of the most popular travel destinations in the world,famous for its beautiful canals,top art museum,cycling culture, and Red Light District.Here are some of the key points to remember as you plan your trip to Amsterdam.Must-See AttractionsMost visitors begin their Amsterdam adventure in the Old Centre,which is full of traditional architecture,shopping centers,and coffee shops.You’ll also want to check out Amsterdam’s Museum Quarter in the South District,which is great for shopping at the Albert Cuyp Market and having a picnic in the Vondelpark.The top museums to visit are the Rijksmusuem,the Ann Frank House,and the Van Gogh Museum.The Canal Ring is a UNESCO World Heritage Site that was originally built to attract wealthy home owners and is a popular place for celebrity spotting and nightlife today.TransportationTravelers should be aware that Amsterdam Airport Schiphol is one of the busiest airports in the world.This airport is located about15kilometers southwest of city center.You can catch a train from Schiphol to Amsterdam Central Station,which has many connecting routes.It’s typically not a good idea to drive a car to the city center because traffic is heavy and parking is difficult to find.Cycling is incredibly popular here,and it’s easy to find cheap bike rentals around town.Amsterdam has a flat terrain(地形)and is a great city to explore on foot.Money Saving TipsUnless you really want to see the tulips(郁金香)blooming,avoid booking between mid-March and mid-May.This is when hotel and flight prices rise.Look for accommodations in Amsterdam’s South District,where rates are generally cheaper than in the city center.Buy train tickets at the machine instead of the counter to save a bit of money.Instead of hiring a tour guide,hop on a canal boat.They’re inexpensive and will give you a unique point of view of the city.Check out our homepage to view price comparisons for flights,hotels,and rental cars before you book.1.Which attraction was built with the original purpose of drawing the rich?A.Albert Cuyp Market.B.The Ann Frank House.C.The Van Gogh Museum.D.The Canal Ring.2.Which means of transportation is not advisable in Amsterdam according to the passage?A.The plane.B.The train.C.The car.D.The bike.3.Which way can help visitors save money in Amsterdam?A.Seeing the tulips blooming in spring.B.Avoiding accommodating downtown.C.Buying car tickets at the machine.D.Hiring a local tour guide.BAn Arizona woman who was attacked by a zoo’s jaguar(美洲虎)over the weekend has apologized and admitted she crossed a safety barrier(栅栏)to snap a photo.The woman Leanne told CBS News that she leaned over the barrier at Lichfield Park’s Wildlife World Zoo on Saturday,but she refused to admit she climbed over it as the zoo has said.“I never passed the barrier,but I do admit to leaning over the barrier,”she told the news network.The woman had injuries that were not life-threatening to her arm after the big cat caught onto her through a fence.A fellow park goer got the cat to release its painful grasp by distracting the animal with a plastic water bottle.Mickey Ollson,the director of Wildlife World Zoo,told ABC that the jaguar won’t be harmed because of“human behavior”.He added that this wasn’t the first time that the animal has injured a guest who got too close,however.It’s not clear whether the park plans to re-evaluate the barrier around the exhibit,which has been described as a3-foot wall.Leanne hopes that they will.“I was in the wrong for leaning over the barrier,but I do think the zoo should look into moving their fence back,”she told CBS News.“I’m not the first,and if they don’t move the fence, I’m probably not going to be the last.”Kitty Block,president and CEO of the Humane Society of the United States,also urged the zoo and other parks to be cautious enough when it comes to separating the animals from people.“When various types of exhibitors promote all sorts of close meeting with wildlife,people get the mistaken idea that wild animals are approachable,”she said in a statement.“We urge the zoological community exhibitors to set a higher standard to protect people and to respect wildlife from a safe distance by doing away with public contact opportunities with wildlife of all species.”4.How did Leanne free from the danger of the jaguar?A.The zoo director helped her to get away from it.B.The jaguar was attracted by a bottle and let her go.C.Another park goer hurt the jaguar and it ran away.D.Leanne herself struggled with it and scared it away.5.What can we infer from Paragraph5?A.Human behavior cannot have any influences on the jaguar in the zoo.B.The jaguar tends to attack the guests unexpectedly however far they stay.C.Leanne is doubtful whether the barrier around the exhibit is safe enough.D.The zoo has ensured the barrier will be evaluated again after the accident.6.What did Kitty Block advise the zoo and parks to do?A.Be very cautious to separate the animals from people.B.Look into moving their fence back and clear the barrier.C.Set a higher standard to build up a zoological community.D.Encourage people to have frequent meetings with wildlife.CRobot vacuum cleaners aren’t a new concept,having been around for more than15years,but they have become greatly more helpful since the days of catching on rug hairs,running out of battery mid-clean and forgetting where they were.But the next generation of disc-shaped floor-cleaners could bring some of the most important upgrades yet,including being more autonomous than ever and knowing exactly where they are in your home and where you need them to be.iRobot’s latest Roombas,the i7and i7+,shown off at a recent event in Tokyo,will be arriving in Australia in the coming months.Their key new feature:persistent mapping of your home.The ability to map not only makes the robot quicker and more efficient,but lets it integrate(融入)more closely with smart homes.Once it’s explored your house a few times,the i7 will present you with a map via its smart phone app,which Angle says tends to be“maybe80per cent right”.As the robot travels around cleaning up dust,it draws a floor plan and uses a sensor(传感器) to identify landmarks and objects.Unlike previous models,the i7remembers this information, meaning it will learn the most efficient paths around your home over time.If you change the layout of your furniture,it will adapt the existing map rather than having to create a whole new one and if you have a multi-storey house,it simply makes multiple maps,and uses its learned landmarks to determine which floor it’s on(you’ll still need to carry it up the stairs).iRobot’s CEO and founder Colin Angle says the i7class,the company’s10th generation Roomba,is the robot he’s always wanted to build;capable of keeping a home’s floors clean with virtually no user input needed.“This robot has30times the processing power of its former generation,”he says.“So we’re fully into a situation today where we can be running machine learning and visual object recognition technology and very advanced algorithms(演算法;运算法则)on the robot,to allow it to continue to work on increasingly complicated code.”7.According to the passage the robot cleaners invented15years ago could______.A.catch on the hairs on the rugB.charge the battery mid-cleanC.draw the map of the homeD.know their exact home position8.The underlined word“layout”in Paragraph5can be replaced by______.A.arrangementB.designC.styleD.size9.Which of the following statements about the i7and i7+is true?A.i7remembers the identified landmarks like former models.B.They can enter the room upstairs themselves and clean it.C.They can do better in math than the previous cleaners.D.i7can present a map exactly via its smart phone app.10.What can be the best title of the passage?A.Technologies in the Cleaner.B.The Future of iRobots.C.The Development of iRobots.D.The Latest Robot Cleaner.第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
