Wandering Earth, the country’s first blockbuster science fiction film,is on track to be one of the highest-grossing (总收入) films in China’s history. The film has brought in more than 2bn yuan (£232m) in the six days since its release on February 5. So far,it is the highest-grossing film released over the holiday season, a peak time for the Chinese box office.Wandering Earth is based on the work of Liu Cixin, the author of the Three-Body Problem series and the first Chinese author to win a Hugo award.“Wandering Earth fills the gap in Chinese science fiction movies. It means that China’s science fiction movies have officially set sail,” one fan of the fil m wrote on the review site Douban.The film is seen by some as the dawn of Chinese sci-fi — a genre that has long been led by Hollywood. Several other Chinese-made sci-fi films are due to debut (首映) this year, including Shanghai Fortress, about an alien invasion, and Pathfinder, which follows a spaceship that has crashed on a deserted planet.Frant Gwo, the director of Wandering Earth, said, “2019 could be remembered as year zero of Chinese science-fiction blockbusters. It is not just about one successful m ovie but about multiple films.”Critics of the film have pointed out the plot holes and the one-dimensional female characters — something Wandering Earth shares with its Hollywood peers.In response to plot criticisms about the necessity of ejecting (喷射) E arth from the solar system, Liu said: “Ofcourse we don’t need to escape soon. That’s why it’s a movie instead of a real-life crisis.”5. Wandering Earth has become China’s ________.A. first blockbuster sci-fi filmB. highest-grossing filmC. only sci-fi film this yearD. first sci-fi film to win an award6. What is the fan’s attitude toward the film according to Paragraph 4?A. Doubtful.B. Negative.C. Praiseful.D. Uncaring.7. Which aspect do the critics think is a shortcoming of the film?A. The theory.B. The ending.C. The special effects.D. The plot holes.CThe legislature(立法机构) finds that the cigarette is considered one of the deadliest products in human history. So begins a new bill introduced in Hawaii’s State House, calling for a ban on cigare tte sales in the state by 2024.Hawaii has some of the most restrictive cigarette laws in the nation. In 2016, it became the first state to raise the age to buy cigarettes to 21. Now, its new bill calls for raising the cigarette-buying age to 30 by 2020, up to 40, 50 and 60 in each following year, and up to 100 by 2024. That would effectively clear Hawai’s store shelves of cigarettes, although tourists could still bring them in. The age limits would not apply to e-cigarettes, cigars or chewing tobacco.And curiously,, Hawaii would offer its centenarians (百岁老人) the chance to buy cigarettes ear the end of their life — if they could find themRichard Creagan, the bill’s sponsor, said that he hoped the bill could represent an “endgame” for the cigarette problem, and that it might be easier to pass the bill in Hawaii than in a mainland state.“On the mainland they have more trouble with this because they have states around them that are selling cigarettes,” he said. “We don’t have any states around us. And that’s why I thought it could be done here, and it would be kind of an example for the rest of the nation and the world.”Creagan told the Hawaii Tribune-Herald he’s confident that the bill will survive any court challenges.In 2015, the National Academy of Sciences released a report arguing that increasing the age to buy tobacco to 21 would have a “considerable impact” on the age at which someone takes their first puff. The report also suggested “if someone is not a regular tobacco user by age 25, it is highly un likely he or she will become one.”8. What can we know about Hawaii from Paragraph 2?A. Hawaii has no cigarette laws at present.B. The cigarette-buying age will be 50 in 2023.C. The age to buy cigarettes was raised to 21 in 2016.D. All cigarette stores in the state have been closed.9. What does the new bill call for?A. Even tourists can’t bring cigarettes to Hawaii.B. No one under 100 can buy cigarettes by 2024.C. Hawaiians can’t buy cigarettes in other states.D. Growing tobacco is not allowed in Hawaii.10. The underlined words in the last paragraph mean “________”.A. buys their first pack of cigarettesB. smokes their first cigaretteC. quits smoking for the first timeD. first offers cigarettes to others11. What is the main idea of the text?A. Hawaii is considering a bill to ban cigarette sales.B. Hawaii will lower the cigarette-buying age.C. Hawaii is to ban smoking in its neighboring states.D. Hawaii has released a report on the harm of smoking.DStanford University has begun an investigation following claims that some of its staff knew long ago of Chinese scientist He Jiankui’s plans to create the world’s first gene-edited babies.A university official said a review was under way of interactions some faculty members had with He. who was e ducated at Stanford. Several professors including He’s former research adviser have said that they knew or strongly suspected that He wanted to try gene editing on embryos (胚胎).The Chinese genetic scientist posted a video on You Tube in November 2018. He claimed in the video that he had used a gene-editing tool Crispr-Cas9 to modify (修改) a particular gene in two embryos before they were placed in their mother’s womb (子宫). He, who works in a lab in the southern Chinese city of Shenzhen, said the twin girls, known as Lulu and Nana, were born using an egg that was modified. He focused on HIV infection prevention becausethe father is HIV positive. “Now the father has a reason to live, a reason to work, he has a purpose,” He said.Editing the genes of embryos, which can change other genes, is banned in many countries because DNA changes are passed to future generations and could have unforeseen effects on the entire gene pool.China’s national health commission ordered officials to “seriously investigate” He’s claims. Shenzhen’s health and family planning commission said it was investigating the review process around He’ s work.Research institutions connected to He have distanced themselves from him. “This research work was carried out by Professor He Jiankui ou tside of the school,” said the Southern University of Science and Technology in Shenzhen. It called his research a “serious violation of academic ethics (道德)”.12. What did He Jiankui claim in the video posted on You Tube?A. He was wrong in trying gene editing on embryos.B. He prevented the twins from developing cancer.C. He modified a gene in Lulu and Nana’s embryos.D. He was influenced by his research adviser in Stanford.13. Why is gene editing of embryos banned in many countries?A. The effect of DNA changes on the gene pool is unforeseeable.B. It causes disabilities to the gene-edited babies.C. The future generations will rely on gene editing.D. It will affect all the healthy genes of the embryos.14. How did the university in Shenzhen react to H e’s video claim?A. It ordered investigations to be conducted.B. It called the incident a big shame for the nation.C. It declared not related to He’s research.D. It kept a distance from the media.15. Which can be a suitable title for the text?A. The USA Bans Gene-editingB. What are the Ethics of Medical Treatment?C. Scientists Find the Idea of Gene-edited Babies CrazyD. Stanford Investigates Links to Scientist in Gene Editing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。

All theme parks inBritainhave cafes, restaurants, picnic areas and gift shops, so you'll still have plenty to see and do when you and the kids have been on enough rides. There are usually smaller “funfair“ rides and games as well, so younger children won't get bored. Several theme parks also have other attractions next to them, e. g. water parks often open all year round, unlike the theme parks.Whenever you are inBritain, there's likely to be a theme park within one or two hours,drive, bus ride or train journey. Several theme parks even have accommodation(膳宿)so you can stay for a day or two if you want to make a trip into a short holiday.Prices forUKtheme parks vary considerably; some have an entrance price which allows you to go on all the rides, while in others you have to pay for every ride individually. It can also make a difference whether you go during peak time or not. For example, tickets always cost more during school holidays and weekends than they do during the weekdays.Theme parks always get very busy during the summer months, so if you don't like crowds ifs usually a good idea to go earlier or later in the year!If you're thinking of visiting aUKtheme park, it's worth having a look for special offers on tickets. Products such as chocolate bars and cereals sometimes have " buy one get one free" offers on theme park tickets, so keep a look out in shops and supermarkets.4.

Introduction to Famous Theme ParksCWhat will people die of 100 years from now? If you think that is a simple question，you have not been paying attention to the revolution that is taking place in bio-technology（生物技术）. With the help of new medicine，the human body will last a very long time. Death will come mainly from accidents，murder and war. Today’s leading killers，such as heart disease，cancer，and aging itself，will become distant memories.In discussion of technological changes，the Internet gets most of the attention these days. But the change in medicine can be the real technological event of our times. How long can humans live? Human brains were known to decide the final death. Cells（细胞）are the basic units of all living things，and until recently，scientists were sure that the life of cells could not go much beyond 120 years because the basic materials of cells，such as those of brain cells，would not last forever. But the upper limits will be broken by new medicine. Sometime between 2050 and 2100，medicine will have advanced to the point at which every 10 years or so，people will beable to take medicine to repair their organs（器官）. The medicine，made up of the basic building materials of life，will build new brain cells，heart cells，and so on－in much the same way our bodies make new skin cells to take the place of old ones.It is exciting to imagine that the advance in technology may be changing the most basic condition of human existence，but many technical problems still must be cleared up on the way to this wonderful future.8. According to the passage，human death is now mainly caused by ________.A. diseases and agingB. accidents and warC. accidents and agingD. heart disease and war9. In the author’s opinion，today’s most important advance in technology lies in（在于）________.A. the InternetB. medicineC. brain cellsD. human organs10. Humans may live longer in the future because ________.A. heart disease will be far away from usB. human brains can decide the final deathC. the basic materials of cells will last foreverD. human organs can be repaired by new medicine11. How long can humans live in the future according to the passage?A. Over 100 years.B. More than 120 years.C. About 150 years.D. The passage doesn’t tell us.DAvi Loeb, a scientist, believes that we are not alone in the universe. The belief fits withLoeb's alien spaceship theory that at least one alien spaceship might be flying over the orbit of Jupiter, which won the international attention last year.Astronomers inHawaiifound the first known interstellar object in late 2017. It was a bit of light moving so fast past the sun that it could only have come from another star. Almost every astronomer on the planet was trying to figure out how the object, called “Oumuamua” got to our far-away part of the Milky way galaxy. “One possibility is that ‘Oumuamua’ is debris from an advanced technological equipment,” Loeb said. “Technology comes from another solar system just showed up at our door. ”“‘Oumuamua’ is not an alien spaceship,” Paul Sutter, another scientist wrote. He suggested Loeb was seeking publicity. Most scientists think “Oumuamua” is some sort of rock. They think it could be an icy wandering comet.Loeb says that “Oumuamua's” behavior means it can't be a block of rock shaped like a long photo. He thinks it's more likely an object that's very long and thin, perhaps like a long pancake or a ship's sail. Loeb says that if someone shows him evidence thatcontradictshis beliefs, he will immediately give in.Loeb believes himself a truth-teller and risk-taker in an age of very safe, too-quiet scientists. “The worst thing that can happen to me is that I would be relieved of my management duties, and that would give me even moretime to focus on science,” Loeb says. He said he wouldn't mind giving up all the titles he had and returning to the Israeli farming village where he grew up.12. What does Loeb say about “Oumuamua”?A. It is an icy comet.B. It looks like a long photo.C. It is actually some sort of rock.D. It may come from another alien civilization.13. What does the underlined word “contradicts” in paragraph 4 probably mean?A.Goes against.B. Relies on.C. Turns to.D. Searches for.14. What do you think of Loeb?A. He is foolish.B. He is unsatisfied with his titles.C. He is a firm believer in scientific truth.D. He is uncertain about his career future.15. What's the best title for the text?A. Have Aliens Paid a Visit in Spaceships?B. Do We Really Know about Space Theory?C. Scientists Are Working on High TechnologyD. Astronomers Are Encouraging Space Travel第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

It means that China’s science fi have offici ally set sail,” one fan of the film wrote on the review site Douban.The film is seen by some as the dawn of Chinese sci-fi — a genre that has long been led by Hollywood. Severalother Chinese-made sci-fi films are due to debut (首映) this year, including Shanghai Fortress, about an alieninvasion, and Pathfinder, which follows a spaceship that has crashed on a deserted planet.Frant Gwo, the director of Wandering Earth, said, “2019 could be remembered as year zero of Chinesescience-fiction blockbusters. It is not just about one successful movie but about multiple films.”Critics of the film have pointed out the plot holes and the one-dimensional female characters — somethingWandering Earth shares with its Hollywood peers.In response to plot criticisms about the necessity of ejecting (喷射) Earth from the solar system, Liu said: “real-life crisis.”course we don’t need to escape soon.

In 2016, it became the first state to raise theage to buy cigarettes to 21. Now, its new bill calls for raising the cigarette-buying age to 30 by 2020, up to 40, 50 and60 in each following year, and up to 100 by 2024. That would ef fectively clear Hawai’s store shelves of cigarettes, although tourists could still bring them in. The age limits would not apply to e-cigarettes, cigars or chewing tobacco.And curiously,, Hawaii would offer its centenarians (百岁老人) the chance to buy cigarettes ear the end of theirlife — if they could find themRichard Creagan, the bill’s sponsor, said that he hoped the bill could represent an “endgam problem, and that it might be easier to pass the bill in Hawaii than in a mainland state.“On the mainland they have more trouble with this because they have states around them that are selling cigarettes,” he said. “We don’t have any states around us. And that’s why I thought it could be done h be kind of an example for the rest of the nation and the world.”Creagan told the Hawaii Tribune-Herald he’s confident that the bill will survive any court challenges.In 2015, the National Academy of Sciences released a report arguing that increasing the age to buy tobacco to 21would have a “considerable impact” on the age at which someonetakes their first puff. The report also suggested “if someone is not a regular tobacco user by age 25, it is highly unlikely he or she will become one.8. What can we know about Hawaii from Paragraph 2?A.

I just know that when I saw Zhao Wei and her costars wearing qipaos in Romance in the Rain TV series, which was set in Shanghai in the 1930s, I was smitten.In my native United States, non-Asians are sometimes blamed on social media for wearing qipaos, but in China, people have what I consider a more reasonable and open-minded approach: If foreigners wear qipaos, it is seen as a gesture of appreciation for Chinese culture.A Chinese friend recently gave me one of her old qipaos. The ice blue cloth features circles with four plants known as “mei lan zhu ju” in China. The qipao fits well at the shoulders, but not at the waist. The qipao was simply too tight. Many of my friends advised me to buy a new one. However, the value in it was that my dead friend who had been an outstanding Chinese actress in the 1980s had given it to me; it was a symbol of our friendship. I finally decided to have the woman in the qipao store alter (修改) it. Even before the alternations, I thought it suited me well, and the blue matched the color of my eyes, and I’m fascinated by “old” things.The woman said my qipao was “Shanghai style” and made of brocade (织锦缎). It had held pretty well throughout the years. The “qipao doctor” said she could add material to widen it, so I chose a light pink cloth with a “noble” flowered design, which fitted well with the qipao and had a similar style with the original one. Finally, my old qipao was altered to my satisfaction and given a second life.24.What does the underlined word “smitten” in paragraph 1 mean?A. Confused.B. Inspired.C. Attracted.D. Disappointed25.Why didn’t the author buy a new qipao?A. She valued the friendship.B. The qipao fitted her well.C. She disliked new designs.D. The qipao was a “Shanghai style”26.The author chose the light pink cloth because ______.A. the qipao doctor persuaded herB. it matched the color of her eyesC. it had a similar style with the qipaoD. she appreciated the traditional culture27.What is the best title of the text?A. The Increasing Popularity of QipaosB. Giving an Old Qipao a Second LifeC. My Enthusiasm for Collecting QipaosD. Spreading Chinese Culture to the USCThe Philippines, a tropical island nation in the Pacific, will now require by law all graduating students from elementary school to college plant 10 trees each before they can graduate.The law was supported in the House and is now sent to the Philippines Senate for action. Supporters of the law see this as an opportunity for the Filipino youth to help deal with climate change and air pollution and build a greener environment for their generation.“To this end, the educational system shall be a centre of spreading continuous use of natural resources among the young to make them socially-responsible citizens.” The House bill stated, which was authored by representative Gary Alejano.Alejano estimates that over the course of one generation the bill will be responsible for 525 billion trees planted. This comes from over 12 million students graduating from elementary school each year, 5 million from high school and 500,000 from college, equaling 175 million new trees planted each year.The Philippines consists of 7,641 islands in Southeast Asia. Across those islands, deforestationhas been a primary environmental issue. Agriculture has led to a significant drop in forested areas across the Philippines. Though the 20th century, forested area in the Philippines decreased from 70 percent to 20 percent. It is estimate that 24.2 million acres of forests were cut down from 1934 to 1988, primarily from logging.The performance of this new law could set off a situation, by which the Philippines switches from net loss to net gain of trees, a simple and powerful message to the Filipino youth with the potential for long term positive influence.28.Why does the Philippines make the law to plant trees?A. To create a better environment to live in.B. To show the government is taking action.C. To make sure students can graduate easily.D. To raise people’s awareness of education.29.What dose Alejano think is important?A. Natural resources.B. The future generation.C. Powerful messages.D. The educational system.30.How many trees will high school graduating students plant each year?A. 5 million.B. 50 million.C. 120 million.D. 175 million.31.What has caused a sharp drop in forests across the Philippines?A. A loss of soil.B. Agriculture.C. Climate change.D. Air pollution.DScientists say they have created a new device that can turn brain signals into electronic speech. The invention could one day give people who have lost the ability to speak a better way of communicating than current ones.The device was developed by researchers from the University of California, San Francisco. Their results were recently published in a study in the journal Nature. Scientists created a “brain machine connection” that was set in the brain. The device was built to read and record brain signals that helped control the muscles to produce speech. These include the lips, tongue and jaw.The study involved five volunteer patients who were being treated for epilepsy (癫痫). The individuals had the ability speak and already had electrodes (电极) set in their brains. The volunteers were asked to read several hundred sentences aloud while the researchers recorded their brain activity.The researchers used audio recordings to reproduce the vocal (发声的) muscle movement which is the key to producing human speech. Future studies will test the technology on people who are unable to speak.The study reports the reproduced sentences were understandable to hundreds of human listeners asked to write out what they heard. The listeners were able to write out 43 percent of sentences with perfect accuracy.Edward Chang is a professor of the university’s Weill Institute. He was a lead researcher on the project. Chang admitted that much more research of the system would be needed to reach the goal of perfectly reproducing spoken language.32.Who will probably benefit most from this device?A. Those unable to hear.B. Those unable to see.C. Those unable to speak.D. Those unable to write.33.What do we know about the “brain machine connection”?A. It could control the muscles.B. It could produce human speech.C. It could transform brain signals.D. It could read and record brain signals.34.Which of the following is important for production of human speech?A. Brain activity.B. Muscle control.C. Audio recording.D. V ocal muscle movement.35.In which section of a newspaper may this text appear?A. Science.B. Fashion.C. Education.D.

B Five-year-old Prisilla Perez, a student at Meador Elementary School in Willis, was unhappy with her recenthaircut, which resulted from a severe disease. When students in her class started calling Prisilla a boy, she felt ashamed, often crying and losing focus in school.Her teacher, Shannon Grimm, sympathized with her un happiness. Grimm and Prisilla’s mom were concerned, but their ideas didn’t work. “We had classroom discussions about how girls have short hair and boys have long hair, and I showed them photos of movie stars with different looks,” Grimm said. “However, it wasn’t sinking in.”Grimm thought about Prisilla throughout winter break, and one morning, she had an idea: Cut off her hair --- a scary thought for Grimm, who wore her hair long and took pride in it. “I’ve never had short hair, and I stressed about it for two weeks before making a decision,” she said. On Jan. 4, Grimm invited a hairstylist friend to her home. “I told him to keep going, even if I cried,” she said.The class loved their teacher’s new do, especially Prisilla, who excitedly ran off the school bus that afternoon yelling, “Mom, Ms. Grimm cut her hair!” The teacher also bought matching bows for herself and the girl, so they could style their hair together.In February, the teacher recommended Prisilla for the school district’s Student of the Month Award, but during the Monday ceremony, she received a surprise “hero medal” from the girl. “Now we have matching awards,” says Grimm.Prisilla’s mother, Maria, said that Grimm’s thoughtfulness brought her to tears. “I was shocked. I was crying. I couldn’t believe it --- she did something I wouldn’t have the bravery to do. I will never forget that.”4. Why was Prisilla unhappy at school?A.She wasn’t satisfied with her teacher.B.

When Grimm got her new hairstyle.CFinding a mountain goat resting high on a cliff(悬崖) might thrill many of the millions of tourists who visit Wyoming’s Grand Teton National Park every year, but park officials say it might be time for the bearded animals to go.The problem, according to the park, is that Grand Teton’s 100 or so mountain goats threaten about 80 bighorn sheep. The bighorn sheep numbered as many as 125 just a few years ago. The strong goats spread disease and compete with bighorn sheep for food. Unlike small-sized bighorn sheep, Grand Teton’s mountain goats aren’t native to the park. They were introduced to the park in the 1960s.Grand Teton spokeswoman D enise Germann said, “We’ve got a management responsibility to protect the native species. After hearing from the public on the proposal (建议) in January, park officials expect to decide as soon as mid-February on what to do about the mountain goats.”The go ats are reproducing rapidly. Now might be the best time to reduce the animals before they’re too many to bring under control, according to the Park Service.One wildlife biologist who studies bighorn sheep praised the proposal. Mountain goats’ original hab itat is nowhere close to where they’ve been introduced in the U.S. to provide hunting opportunities, said Rob Roy Ramey II, with Nederland, Colorado-based Wildlife Science International, Inc.Wildlife managers should get rid of mountain goats not only in Grand Teton but elsewhere to help struggling bighorn sheep, Ramey said. “Unfortunately, state wildlife agencies sell nonnative wildlife viewing opportunities to the public,” Ramey said. “This is not a zoo in the wilderness. It should really be for native wildlife.”8. What can be learnt about the bighorn sheep in the park?A. Their size is huge.B. Their number is decreasing.C. They arrived in the 1960s.D. They threaten local species.9. How did the public help park officials protect the bighorn sheep?A. By providing suggestions.B. By driving away mountain goats.C. By volunteering in the park.D. By taking over Grand Teton National Park.10. What is Germann’s attitude towards the bighorn sheep?A. Curious.B. Proud.C.Surprised.D. Concerned. 11. What was the purpose of bringing in mountain goats in the beginning? A. To offer hunting chances. B. To sell nonnative wildlife. C. To satisfy wildlife managers. D. To increase diversities of sheep. D March 3 marks World Hearing Day. This year’s theme is “Check your hearing!” Many experts and healthorganizations, including those who pay attention to the hearing-impaired (听力障碍), are working to help people realize the importance of protecting their hearing and avoid hearing loss.When we talk about music, what kin d of feelings does it bring? Excitement… and relaxation. But what if the music lasts for hours?We interviewed a group of musicians based in Beijing during the weekend. They all said that hours of exposure to loud music can cause discomfort. One added that band members like to play at maximum volume (音量) and forget the harm that loud music can cause. The same thing not only occurs to musicians. It’s also not rare for daily users since listening to loud music on loud sound equipment has become a part of modem life. According to the WHO, the practice has put more than a billion people around the world, aged 12-35, at risk of losing their hearing.We also interviewed some headphone users in the street, and most of them said that they are not heavy users but adm itted they use headphones for hours on the subway and in the office or home. It’s easy for these people to gradually increase the volume without awareness, especially in a noisy environment. Often, headphone users fail to realize they’re listening to audio at unsafe levels until serious hearing problems suddenly occur.There are many reasons for hearing loss, including loud acoustic (听觉的) sources, drug abuse, and diseases.Experts suggest frequent medical checks and prevention measures.Whether congenital (先天的) or acquired, loss of hearing is usually irreversible. “Once the hearing loss occurs, it’s already too late to be changed back to what it was before,” said Yang Shiming, expert of the Chinese PLA General Hospital. “Early prevention, early identificatio n and early treatment. If everyone could do these things, hearing loss and its harm could be kept to a minimum,” Yang said. Of course, this applies to every one of us.12. What might be a reason for hearing loss?A. Listening to music.B. Taking medicines.C. Ignoring sound pollution.D. Using headphones.13. What does Yang Shiming advise people to do about hearing loss?A. Get rid of drug abuse.B. Make prevention ahead of time.C. Stop playing music in bands.D. Choose music with the help of musicians.14. Which can best explain “irreversible” underlined in the last paragraph?A. Incurable.B. Unavailable.C. Unbelievable.D. Invisible.15. What can be a suitable title for the text?A. Preventing Hearing LossB. Reasons for Losing HearingC.The Origin of World Hearing DayD.

2019-2020学年云南昭阳区一中高三英语第一次联考试卷及参考答案

2019-2020学年云南昭阳区一中高三英语第一次联考试卷及参考答案第一部分阅读（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项AThe Origins of Famous BrandsOur lives are full of brand names and trademarked products that we use every day. Although many brand names are simple acronyms(首字母缩略词) or versions of their founders names, some of the companies we trust every day actually have fascinating and surprising back stories.StarbucksIt seems fitting that the most famous coffee brand in the world would take its name from one of the world’s greatest works of literature. The inspiration for the name of the coffeehouse came from Herman Melville’sMoby Dick. The founders’ original idea was to name the company after the Captain Ahab’s ship, but they eventually decided that Pequot wasn’t a great name for coffee, so they chose Ahab’s first mate, Starbucks, as the name instead.GoogleGoogle was originally called Backrub, for it searched for links in every corner of the Web. In 1997, when the founders of the company were searching for a new name showing a huge amount of data for their rapidly improving search technology, a friend suggested the word “googol”. When a friend tried to register the new domain (域) name, he misspelled “googol” as “google”.NikeOriginally founded as a distributor for Japanese running shoes, the company was originally named BRS, or Blue Ribbon Sports. In 1971, BRS introduced its own soccer shoe, a model called Nike, which is alsothe name for the Greek goddess of victory. In 1978, the company officially renamed itself as Nike, Inc.The right name is essential to a company’s success, and a great origin story is just as important as a great product. An attractive origin story is one more thing that keeps customers guessing, wondering, and buying its products.1. What is the name of the Captain Ahab’s ship?A. Moby Dick.B. Starbucks.C. Pequot.D. Herman Melville.2. Why did the founders of the Google want to change its name?A. They mistook their name.B. They wanted new customers.C. The company’s original name was too long.D. The company’s search technology was improving rapidly.3. Where does the importance of the origin story of one company lie in?A. It can change the company’s image.B. It can add myth to the company.C. It explains the development of the company to customers.D. It makes customers imagine and purchase its goods.BA PhD student inMichigandefended her paper while wearing a skirt madeof rejection letters she received while studying. 29-year-old Caitlin Kirby printed out 17 of her rejection letters — from scholarships, academic journals, and conferences — then folded each one into a fan. She connected them in rows, and by the end she designed the item into a skirt and wore it.She said that the idea behind her unique clothing item came out of a desire to normalize rejection and take pride in overcoming it. "The whole process of revisiting those old letters and making that skirt sort of reminded me that you have to apply to a lot of things to succeed," she said. "A natural part of the process is to get rejected along the way."Caitlin's adviser, Julie Libarkin, a professor of earth and environmental science atMichiganStateUniversity, also encourages the acceptance of failure in her students. Libarkin believes it's important for students to get into habit of applying for things, and to get used to the feeling of rejection, so she encourages them to chase after any opportunity that comes their way. If a student doesn't get the grant or the spot in the academic journal, that's okay. They'll still have learned something in the process.As for Caitlin? Her rejections over the years have led to great things: Since her doctorate, she's won a scholarship to do further research on urban agriculture inGermany.Currently, she's a post-doctoral researcher at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. As for what the future holds? "I'm prepared to receive a few more rejection letters along the way," she joked heartily, "Maybe I'll make a longer skirt."4. What can we learn about Caitlin Kirby's rejection letters?A. She received 17 rejections in total.B. 29 of her rejections were from journals.C. The rejections were connected into a fan.D. She made some rejection letters into a skirt.5. What is Julie Libarkin's attitude towards Caitlin's action?A. Favorable.B. Ambiguous.C. Skeptical.D. Opposed.6. Which of the following words can best describe Catlin?A. Creative and considerate.B. Caring and determined.C. Optimistic and humorous.D. Generous and intelligent.7. Which of the following may Caitlin agree with?A. Hard work pays off.B. Education is the entrance to success.C. Self-respect earns more respect.D. One needs to normalize failures.CAs one of the world’smost popular cultural mediums, cinema is at the leading position at the Taihu World Cultural Forum(论坛), an annual event that aims to improve cultural exchanges. So far this year, Chinese box office has already topped 58 billion yuan, the China Film Administration said. This indicates that China, the world’s second-largest movie market, is closing the gap with the United States, the world’s top cinema market.Cao Yin, director of the program center at China Movie Channel, said that China has 67,000 cinema screens. the most of any country, and the number is expected to increase to 80,000 by the end of next year. Saying that China has signed coproduction agreements with 22 countries (including the United States, Canada, Japan. India etc.) ,Cao added it has deepened cinematic exchanges between Chinese filmmakers and their foreign counterparts (同行).With the country’s huge native market, which produced more than 1,000 films in 2019, Hong Kong director Stanley Tong said he believes foreign filmmakers will increasingly seek cooperation with China. “International coproduction will become an important platform to send Chinese stories oversea and give us a broader vision of creation,” Tong said.Recently, over 80 percent of the world’s top 100 highest box-office titles have been action films. Tong said the films, in which plots are basically secondary to shining stunts (特技), is one of the easiest ways to appeal to foreignaudiences. But it has been a decades-long struggle for Chinese filmmakers to sell their stories overseas. When asked what kinds of Chinese films would have the most global appeal. Yan Zhaozhu, chairman of the Taihu World Cultural Forum, said stories that address universal issues, such as environmental protection and climate change, are perhaps the best options.8. What is the purpose of the Taihu World Cultural Forum?A. To strengthen cultural exchanges.B. To build more cinemas in China.C. To invite more tourists to Taihu.D. To attract more international investment.9. What can we infer about Cao Yin’s opinion in Paragraph 2?A. Chinese box office has already overtaken the United States so farB. The screens of Chinese cinemas will be world-leading in the futureC. China has signed the most coproduction agreements with other countriesD. There will be more and more cooperations between Chinese filmmakers and other countries.10. How do Chinese filmmakers feel about selling their movies to the world right now?A. Easy.B. Disappointed.C. Challenged.D. Confused.11. What is the best title for the text?A. Box Office: Unclear FutureB. China: Top Second Movie MarketC. Cinema: The Leading Cultural PositionD. Chinese Filmmakers: Severe Competition SituationDHappiness is not a warm phone, according to anew study exploring the link between young life satisfaction and screen time. The study was led by professor of psychology Jean M. Twenge at San Diego State University (SDSU).To research this link, Twenge, along with colleagues Gabrielle Martin at SDSU and W. Keith Campbell at the University of Georgia, dealt with data from the Monitoring the Future (MtF) study, a nationally representative survey of more than a million U. S. 8th-, 10th-, and 12th-graders. The survey asked students questions about how often they spent time on their Phones, tablets and computers, as well as questions about their face-to-face socialinteractions and their overall happiness.On average found that teens who spent more time in front of screen devices — playing computer games, using social media, texting and video chatting — were less happy than those who invested more time in non-screen activities like sports, reading newspapers and magazines, and face-to-face social interactions."The key to digital media use and happiness is limited use," Twenge said. "Aim to spend no more than two hours a day on digital media, and try to increase the amount of time you spend seeing friends face-to-face and exercising — two activities reliably linked to greater happiness."Looking at historical trends from the same age groups since the 1990s, it's easy to find that the increase of screen devices over time happened at the same time as a general drop-off in reported happiness inU. S.teens. Specifically, young peopled life satisfaction and happiness declined sharply after 2012. That's the year when the percentage of Americans who owned a smartphone rose above 50 percent. By far the largest change in teens' lives between 2012 and 2016 was the increase in the amount of time they spent on digital media, and the following decline in in-person social activities and sleep.12. Which method did Twenge's team use for the study?A. Calculating students' happiness.B. Asking students certain questions.C. Analyzing data from a survey.D. Doing experiments on screen time.13. How does the author develop the finding of the study in paragraph 3?A. By making a comparison.B. By giving an example.C. By making an argument.D. By introducing a concept.14. What is the purpose of the last paragraph?A. To draw a conclusion from the study.B. To offer some advice to the readers.C. To prove social activities' importance.D. To support the researchers' finding.15. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A. Quitting Phones Equals HappinessB. Screen Time Should Be BannedC. Teens' Lives Have Changed SharplyD. Screen-addicted Teens Are Unhappier第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

Wandering Earth, the country’s first blockbuster science fiction film, is on track to be one of the highest-grossing (总收入) films in China’s history.The film has brought in more than 2bn yuan (£232m) in the six days since its release on February 5. So far, it is the highest-grossing film released over the holiday season, a peak time for the Chinese box office.Wandering Earth is based on the work of Liu Cixin, the author of the Three-Body Problem series and the first Chinese author to win a Hugo award.“Wandering Earth fills the gap in Chinese science fiction movies. It means that China’s science fiction movies have officially set sail,” one fan of the film wrote on the review site Douban.The film is seen by some as the dawn of Chinese sci-fi — a genre that has long been led by Hollywood. Several other Chinese-made sci-fi films are due to debut (首映) this year, including Shanghai Fortress, about an alien invasion, and Pathfinder, which follows a spaceship that has crashed on a deserted planet.Frant Gwo, the director of Wandering Earth, said, “2019 could be remembered as year zero of Chinese science-fiction blockbusters. It is not just about one successful movie but about multiple films.”Critics of the film have pointed out the plot holes and the one-dimensional female characters — something Wandering Earth shares with its Hollywood peers.In response to plot criticisms about the necessity of ejecting (喷射) Earth from the solar system, Liu said: “Of course we don’t need to escape soon. That’s why it’s a movie instead of a real-life crisis.”5. Wandering Earth has become China’s ________.A. first blockbuster sci-fi filmB. highest-grossing filmC. only sci-fi film this yearD. first sci-fi film to win an award6. What is the fan’s attitude toward the film according to Para graph 4?A. Doubtful.B. Negative.C. Praiseful.D. Uncaring.7. Which aspect do the critics think is a shortcoming of the film?A. The theory.B. The ending.C. The special effects.D. The plot holes.CThe legislature(立法机构) finds that the cigarette is considered one of the deadliest products in human history. So begins a new bill introduced in Hawaii’s State House, calling for a ban on cigarette sales in the state by 2024.Hawaii has some of the most restrictive cigarette laws in the nation. In 2016, it became the first state to raise the age to buy cigarettes to 21. Now, its new bill calls for raising the cigarette-buying age to 30 by 2020, up to 40, 50 and 60 in each following year, and up to 100 by 2024. That would effectively clear Hawai’s store shel ves of cigarettes, although tourists could still bring them in. The age limits would not apply to e-cigarettes, cigars or chewing tobacco.And curiously,, Hawaii would offer its centenarians (百岁老人) the chance to buy cigarettes ear the end of their life — if they could find themRichard Creagan, the bill’s sponsor, said that he hoped the bill could represent an “endgame” for the cigarette problem, and that it might be easier to pass the bill in Hawaii than in a mainland state.“On the mainland they have more trouble with this because they have states around them that are selling cigarettes,” he said. “We don’t have any states around us. And that’s why I thought itcould be done here, and it would be kind of an example for the rest of the nation and the world.”Creagan told the Hawaii Tribune-Herald he’s confident that the bill will survive any court challenges.In 2015, the National Academy of Sciences released a report arguing that increasing the age to buy tobacco to 21 would have a “considerable impact” on the age at which someone takes their first puff. The report also suggested “if someone is not a regular t obacco user by age 25, it is highly unlikely he or she will become one.”8. What can we know about Hawaii from Paragraph 2?A. Hawaii has no cigarette laws at present.B. The cigarette-buying age will be 50 in 2023.C. The age to buy cigarettes was raised to 21 in 2016.D. All cigarette stores in the state have been closed.9. What does the new bill call for?A. Even tourists can’t bring cigarettes to Hawaii.B. No one under 100 can buy cigarettes by 2024.C. Hawaiians can’t buy cigarettes in other states.D. Growing tobacco is not allowed in Hawaii.10. The underlined words in the last paragraph mean “________”.A buys their first pack of cigarettesB. smokes their first cigaretteC. quits smoking for the first timeD. first offers cigarettes to others11. What is the main idea of the text?A. Hawaii is considering a bill to ban cigarette sales.B. Hawaii will lower the cigarette-buying age.C. Hawaii is to ban smoking in its neighboring states.D. Hawaii has released a report on the harm of smoking.DStanford University has begun an investigation following claims that some of its staff knew long ago of Chinese scientist He Jiankui’s plans to create the world’s first gene-edited babies.A university official said a review was under way of interactions some faculty members had with He. who was educated at Stanford. Several professors including He’s former research adviser have said that they knew or strongly suspected that He wanted to try gene editing on embryos (胚胎).The Chinese genetic scientist posted a video on You Tube in November 2018. He claimed in the video that he had used a gene-editing tool Crispr-Cas9 to modify (修改) a particular gene in two embryos before they were placed in their mother’s womb (子宫). He, who works in a lab in the southern Chinese city of Shenzhen, said the twin girls, known as Lulu and Nana, were born using an egg that was modified. He focused on HIV infection prevention because the father is HIV positive. “Now the father has a reason to live, a reason to work, he has a purpose,” He said.Editing the genes of embryos, which can change other genes, is banned in many countries because DNA changes are passed to future generations and could have unforeseen effects on the entire gene pool.China’s national health commission ordered officials to “seriously investigate” He’s claims. Shenzhen’s health and family planning commission said it was investigating the review process around He’ s work.Research institutions connected to He have distanced themselves from him. “This research work was carried out by Professor He Jiankui outside of the school,” said the Southern University of Science and Technology in Shenzhen. It called his research a “serious violation of academic ethics (道德)”.12. What did He Jiankui claim in the video posted on You Tube?A. He was wrong in trying gene editing on embryos.B He prevented the twins from developing cancer.C He modified a gene in Lulu and Nana’s embryos.D. He was influenced by his research adviser in Stanford.13. Why is gene editing of embryos banned in many countries?A. The effect of DNA changes on the gene pool is unforeseeable.B. It causes disabilities to the gene-edited babies.C. The future generations will rely on gene editing.D. It will affect all the healthy genes of the embryos.14. How did the university in Shenzhen react to He’s video claim?A It ordered investigations to be conducted.B. It called the incident a big shame for the nation.C. It declared not related to He’s research.D. It kept a distance from the media.15. Which can be a suitable title for the text?A. The USA Bans Gene-editingB. What are the Ethics of Medical Treatment?C. Scientists Find the Idea of Gene-edited Babies CrazyD. Stanford Investigates Links to Scientist in Gene Editing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。

school．On October 9, 2012, 15-year-old Malala Yousafzai was shot in the head by a Taliban gunman in Pakistan．She survived the attack and was sent by helicopter to have abullet removed from her head in a hospital 6,000 miles away in Birmingham, England ．Malala has now become the most famous teenager on earth, a symbol of women'srights and has even been nominated for next year's Nobel Peace Prize．However, Malala is no shallow, empty-headed, media-created idol -she is a real flesh-and-blood young woman who has already challenged the fearsome Taliban militants（武装分子）． Reportedly, she wants to return to Pakistan, where her life would be in constant danger．Such courage would be rare for such a young girl．Malala began writing an anonymous （匿名旳）blog for BBC when she was only 11 years old, criticizing the Taliban for their activities in her hometown and advocating for women's education in Pakistan．"I have a new dream," she once said．"I must be a politician to save thiscountry ． There are so many crises in our country ． I want to remove these crises ． "How many little girls have uttered something so mature, selfless and elegantas that She also possesses extraordinary courage ?years ago, militants had beenthreatening her life．In response to these threats,Malala calmly responded: "I think of it often and imagine the scene clearly．Even if they come to kill me, I will tell them what they are trying to do is wrong．Education is our basic right．"36． What happened to Malala in the year 2012?A． She was given the Nobel Prize for Peace．B． She began writing a blog for BB C．C． She was

title for this text?A． The Voice of a Heroine B．Malala,Candidate of Person of the Year C． Portrait of a Girl Blogger D． Pakistani Girl Shot by TalibanBOne hundred and fifty years ago, the world's first underground railway beganoperating in London, running for just six kilometres from Paddington to Famngdon．Today, the network covers 408 kilometres, with 11 lines running through270 stations．And despite every major city in the world now having its own metrosystem, London's is still the second-longest（Shanghai's is the first）．It's no surprise that locals and travellers will all be wishing London's "Tube" a very happy 150th birthday．Londoners have an unspoken code of conduct when they travel on me Tube, and abit of local knowledge is essential for getting around the British capital．Herewe provide some tips and etiquette（礼仪）for your next visit to London．Do．．．Stand on the right on escalators（自动扶梯）, walk on the left -Londoners willbe quick at reminding you should you forget this．Let other passengers off before getting on．Give up your seat if someone needs it more than you．Mind the gap（between the train and the platform edge）-they are sometimespretty wide．Don't ．．．Block doorways-move down inside the carriages．Talk to people you don't know．Even if the train is delayed you should merelysigh or shake your head, rather than strike up a conversation．Travel on the Hammersmith & City or Circle lines if you can help it-they havea poor record for delays and disruptions．Expect air-conditioning-the low tunnels mean there's no space on most lines to install air-con equipment so expect to set hot and sweaty in summer．40． According to the text, the London Underground ____.A． was brought into use 150 years ago with only 6 milesB． includes eleven lines, covering 270 kilometresC． ranks first in the world in terms of the total lengthD． is nicknamed the "Tube"41． On the London Underground, passengers are supposed to ___ _.A． urge people to walk on the rightB． get on

the world's most well-known brands, including Ericsson, Volvo and Ikea,all originated from Sweden．The country also brought us the zipper, used by manymen in the world on a daily basis, according to Swedish Wire, a news website．With a population of barely over 9 million and gross domestic production（GDP）at about $538 billion in 2011-just a thirteenth that of China-Sweden seems like an unlikely candidate for a leader of innovation（创新）．Yet,for the past three years,it has consistently topped the European Commission's Regional Innovation Scoreboard, coming first in 2010 and 2012, and second in 2011．Sweden's neighbors, including Denmark ?famous for such brands as Nokia and Lego, are also known for their innovative cultures．How have these Scandinavian countries managed to make these achievements?Pasi Sahlerrg,Director General of the Finnish Ministry of Education andCulture's Centre for International Mobility, believes the education system iscentral to the success of Scandinavian countries．A key feature of tins system isthat every child's education is personalized and teachers are highly trained．"In Finland, 'School-readiness'means getting the school ready to meet the needsof its students, rather than getting the students ready for school," said Sahlerrg ．Limited homework, no standardized tests and the absence of a national curriculum are intended to teach students how to manage themselves independently and to organize their time creatively -both vital for encouraging innovation．Of course, there are factors beyond the education system that also determinethe rate of innovation．So how to imitate Scandinavia's success in innovation? Foster （培育） a well-educated generation,provide it with the necessary financial resources, establish a supportive policy environment for it to turn the innovative ideas it generates into success．43． The first paragraph is written to _______．A． introduce the topic of the text B．describe some quality productsC． list some famous brands from Sweden D ． quote a Swedish website44． As a leading country in innovation, Sweden ______．A． was Number One in innovation over the past three yearsB． is well-known for its innovative culturesC． presents to the world such brands as Nokia and LegoD． had a very high GDP in 201145． According to Pasi Sahlerrg, Scandinavia's success in innovation lies in _____ A． school-readiness B． the system of educationC． teacher training D． personalized teaching46． What is a feature of Scandinavia's education?A． Loads of homework．B． Strict examinations．C． No national curriculum．D．Necessary financial resources．DDo lobsters,crabs （蟹） and other crustaceans（甲壳类）feel pain? Wecertainly act as if they don't．Most chefs cook lobsters and crabs alive, usually by dumping them in boiling water ． Along with melted butter．That's the appeal of crustaceans-there's no fresher food ． We may feel a bit of guilt, or maybe just discomfort, when we hear the creatures rattling （卡嗒响） around the inside of the pot as the water boils ．But that feeling usually dissolves for lobster lovers bythe time we crack open a claw and dig out the delicious meat ． We wouldn't dream of doing the same thing to a live chicken or pig which are dead well before die cookingprocess begins, but those crustaceans are different ．They don't even feel pain ．Right ?Actually, they just might ． That's the conclusion of a new study published inthe Journal of Experimental Biology ． Robert Elwood and Barry Magee of Queen's University in Belfast examined the reaction of commonshore crabs to small electrical shocks ．Ninety crabs were placed in a brightly lit area and were given the choice ofmoving to one of two dark shelters．（Shore crabs like to hide in dark, tight spaces ．）Once they'd made their choice, the crabs in one of the shelters were exposed to anelectric shock ． After a rest period, the crabs were returned to the lit tank ． Most of the crabs went back into the dark shelters, and then the same crabs were givenanother electric shock．When they were placed back into the lit tank for the third time, the majority of the shocked crabs instead went to the other dark shelter,avoiding the one where they had repeatedly been shocked．As Elwood put it, the crabs' choice indicated they wanted to escape the shocks: Having experienced two rounds of shocks, the crabs learned to avoid the shelter where they received the shock．They were willing to give up their hideaway in order toavoid the source of their probable pain．47 ． According to the author,people cook the crab alive due to the beliefthat.A． it is not guilty to treat a crab cruellyB． it is too hard to kill a crabC． a crab doesn't feel pain as a chicken or a pig doesD． the crab is a popular and healthy seafood48． The underlined word "dissolves" in Paragraph 1 probably means _.A． becomes weaker B． strengthens graduallyC． comes into being D．remains unchanged49． In the experiment, the shore crabs ______．A． were placed into two dark sheltersB． were given electric shocks in the lit tankC． were able to choose which shelter to go toD． were put into the lit tank twice50． What does Robert Elwood and Barry Magee's new study prove?A． It is hard to tell whether a voiceless shore crab is feeling pain or not．B． Shore crabs react to electric shocks and seemingly feel pain．C． Shore crabs prefer a dark, tight shelter as their-habitat．D． Bright light causes discomfort to crustaceans．第二节（共 5 小题，每题 2 分，满分10 分）选项中有两项为剩余依据短文内容，从短文后旳选项中选出能填入空白处旳最正确选项，选项·We've all heard how great shopping on the Internet is and that you can get thingsfar cheaper．How convenient it is -you can shop when you want to．How it's easy to compare prices and how there are no long queues online!51 Do you trust the seller?

2019-2020学年云南大学附属中学高三英语第一次联考试题及参考答案

2019-2020学年云南大学附属中学高三英语第一次联考试题及参考答案第一部分阅读（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项AWhile Jennifer was at home taking an online exam for her business law class, a monitor（监控器）a few hundred miles away was watching her every move.Using a web camera equipped in Jennifer'sLos Angelesapartment, the monitor inPhoenixtracked how frequently her eyes moved from the computer screen and listened for the secret sounds of a possible helper in the room. Her Internet access was locked remotely to prevent Internet searches, and her typing style was analyzed to make sure she was who she said she was: Did she enter her student number at the same speed as she had in the past？Or was she slowing down？In the battle against cheating, this is thecutting edgeand a key to encourage honesty in the booming field of online education. This technology gives trust to the entire system, to the institution and to online education in general. Only with solid measures against cheating, experts say, can Internet universities show that their exams and diplomas are valid — that students haven't searched the Internet to get the right answers.Although online classes have existed for more than a decade, the concern over cheating has become sharper in the last year with the growth of "open online courses". Private colleges, public universities and corporations are jumping into the online education field, spending millions of dollars to attract potential students, while also taking steps to help guarantee honesty at a distance.Aside from the web cameras, a number of other high-tech methods are becoming increasingly popular. Among them are programs that check students’ identities using personal information, such as the telephone numbers they once used.Other programs can produce unique exams by drawing on a large list of questions and can recognize possible cheaters by analyzing whether difficult test questions are answered at the same speed as easy ones. As in many university classes, term papers are scanned against some large Internet data banks for cheating.1. Why was Jennifer watched in an online exam?A. To correct her typing mistakes.B. To find her secrets in the room.C. To keep her from dishonest deeds.D. To prevent her from slowing down.2. What does the underlined expression "cutting edge" in Paragraph 3 probably mean?A. sharpening toolB. advanced techniqueC. effective ruleD. dividing line3. How can some programs find out possiblecheaters?A. By scanning the Internet test questions.B. By checking the question answering speed.C. By producing a large number of questions.D. By giving difficult test questions.B“Your mind is a garden; your thoughts are the seeds. The harvest can either be flowers or weeds,” William Wordsworth wrote. In the above quote, William suggests that the process of gardening mirrors human life. Depending on what we “plant” in our lives, we bloom (生长茂盛) or don’t. Before you start to work in your garden, it’s necessary to have a vision for it. Thinking of what youwant to grow in your garden and how to lay it out is a good first step in making your vision a fruitful reality. In life, you should consider what you want to create and what you want to achieve, because your mind-garden is like the white paper and the possibilities are endless. Regardless of what you choose to plant, poor soil isn’t suitable for growth. This is why gardeners take the time and energy to upgrade the soil before planting. So, creating the right soil is important to the realization of your goals and dreams. Fortunately, there are countless ways to make your personal bedrock better. Getting an education is one of the most effective ways, which can help you enrich your life’s soil.You don’t have to be an enthusiastic gardener to understand the meaning of “You reap(收获) what you sow.” When a gardener wants tomatoes, they just need to plant tomato seeds. It’s a very clear act that produces an expected result. Each of us has the power to decide which “life seeds” to plant. For example, if you plant ill seeds, it's likely that you’ll experience pain in return. Contrarily, if you plant seeds of kindness and understanding, your life will bloom with happiness and love.A gardener’s trulyarduouswork begins after the seeds are in the ground because a garden requires a lot of care and attention. Regular watering and weeding are required for a healthy garden. So, to ensure your dreams take root, you should be devoted, aware, and present. After countless hours and energy spent, the crops have grown well and are finally ready to be harvested.4. What is important before gardeners break ground in their gardens?A. Receiving some training in planting.B. Drawing up a good plan for their gardens.C. Having the courage to accept the worst outcome.D. Doing research on the common local garden plants.5. What is compared to getting education by the author?A. Improving the condition of the soil.B. Growing your most favorable plants.C. Taking care of the plants in your garden.D. Selecting proper goals in gardening work.6. What does the author want to express in Paragraph 3?A. Your quality of life depends on your positive action.B. Your experience can help you understand plants better.C. Your choice of soil is an important part in your gardening.D. Your knowledge of planting will make you a successful gardener.7. What does the underlined word “arduous” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?A. BeneficialB. CreativeC. Boring.D. ToughCThink ofJapanin the spring and the image that comes to mind is likely the country’s famous cherry blossoms, also known as “Sakura” — white and pink flowers, blooming across cities and mountains.The flowers, which experience a “peak bloom” that only lasts a few days, have been loved inJapanfor more than a thousand years. Crowds celebrate with viewing parties,flockingto the most popular locations to take photos and have picnics underneath the branches.But this year, cherry blossom season has come and gone in the blink of an eye, in one of the earliest blooms on record. Scientists warn it’s a symptom of the larger climate crisis threatening ecosystems everywhere.Yasuyuki Aono, a researcher atOsakaPrefectureUniversity, has gathered records fromKyotoback to 812 AD from historical documents and diaries. In the central city ofKyoto, cherry blossoms peaked on March 26, the earliest in more than 1,200 years, Aono said. And in the capitalTokyo, cherry blossoms reached full bloom on March 22, the second-earliest date on record.The peak bloom dates shift every year, depending on numerous factors including weather and rainfall, but have shown a general trend of moving earlier and earlier. InKyoto, the peak date stayed around mid-April for centuries, but began moving into early April during the 1800s. The date has only dipped into late March a handfulof times in recorded history.“Sakura blooms are very temperature sensitive,” said Aono. “Flowering and full bloom could be earlier or later depending on the temperature alone,” he said. “The temperature was low in the 1820s, but it has risen by about 3.5 degrees Celsius to this day.”This year’s seasons in particular influenced the blossom dates, he added. The winter was very cold, but the spring came fast and unusually warm.8. What is the best title of the passage?A. Cherry blossom celebrations.B. Warning of a climate crisis.C. A strong love for cherry blossom.D. Cherry blossom season coming earlier.9. What does the underlined word “flocking” mean?A. Blocking.B. Flooding.C. Running.D. Following.10. What can we infer from paragraph 5?A. The peak blossom dates fall on a fixed date.B. The cherry blossom rarely peaks in March.C. The peak bloom dates mainly depend on weather and rainfall.D. Cherry blossom peaks around mid-April inTokyo.11. What is the author’s purpose in writing the passage?A. To inform people the date of cherry blossom.B. To show a study on cherry blossom dates.C. To present a Japanese tradition of cherry blossom celebration.D. To make people aware of the influence of climate change on cherry blossom.DFor most thinkers since the Greek philosophers, it was self-evident that there is something called human nature, something that constitutes the essence of man. There were various views about what constitutes it, but there was agreement that such an essence exists—that is to say, that there is something by virtue of which man is man. Thus man was defined as a rational(理性的) being, as a social animal, an animal that can make tools, or a symbol-making animal.More recently, this traditional view has begun to be questioned. One reason for this change was theincreasing emphasis given to the historical approach to man. An examination of the history of humanity suggested that man in our time is so different from man in previous times that it seemed unrealistic to assume that men in every age have had in common something that can be called “human nature.” The historical approach was strengthened, particularly in the United States, by studies in the field of cultural anthropology (人类学). The study of primitive peoples has discovered such a diversity of customs, values, feelings, and thoughts that many anthropologists arrived at the concept that man is born as a blank sheet of paper on which each culture writes its text. Another factor contributing to the tendency to deny the assumption of a fixed human nature was that the concept has so often been abused as a shield(盾牌) behind which the most inhuman acts are committed. In the name of human nature, for example, Aristotle and most thinkers up to the eighteenth century defended slavery. Or in order to prove the rationality and necessity of the capitalist form of society, scholars have tried to make a case for acquisitiveness, competitiveness, and selfishness as natural human characters. Popularly, one refers cynically（愤世嫉俗地）to “human nature” in accepting the inevitability of such undesirable human behavior as greed, murder, cheating and lying.Another reason for disbelief about the concept of human nature probably lies in the influence of evolutionary thinking. Once man came to be seen as developing in the process of evolution, the idea of a substance which is contained in his essence seemed untenable. Yet I believe it is precisely from an evolutionary standpoint that we can expect new insight into the problem of the nature of man.12. Most philosophers believed that human nature ________.A. is the quality distinguishing man from other animalsB. consists of competitiveness and selfishnessC. is something partly innate and partly acquiredD. consists of rationality and undesirable behavior13. The traditional view of “human nature” was strongly challenged by ________.A. the emergence of the evolutionary theoryB. the historical approach to manC. new insight into human behaviorD. the philosophical analysis of slavery14. According to the passage, anthropologists believe that human beings ________.A. have some characters in commonB. are born with diverse culturesC. are born without a fixed natureD. change their characters as they grow up15. The author mentioned Aristotle, a great ancient thinker, in order to ________.A. emphasize that he contributed a lot to defining the concept of “human nature”B. show that the concept of “human nature” was used to justify social evilsC. prove that he had a profound influence on the concept of “human nature”D. support the idea that some human characters are inherited.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

One was marked with Chip’s name and a greeting for his Special day, November 5.“So,” when he came running out the door, she said, “You must be Chip!” And he said,“Yes.” She said, “Today’s your birthday?” And he started smiling. Shelley said, “So, let me see if I can find you something for your birthday.”She checked her pocket and surprised him with a gift: a dollar bill and four quarters.On this day, the 42-year-old postwoman made one little boy very happy. “He was very excited,” said his mom, Bonnie. “He came running back in the house just waving his money.” Chip is saving up to buy a Spider-man action figure.“Our family has had money problems since I lost my job. Gestures like that are valuable memories.” Her hope is that Chip and his eight-year-old sister, Bennett, will remember this when they grow up. “Not the ugly that is out there right now, but the good and the kind and the giving.”A photo of a smiling Chip and Shelley next to the mail truck has been shared widely on social media. Shelley said she was just trying to give back, because people are often nice to her eight-year-old son, Joshua.On a recent day, Chip heard the mail truck and rushed out again, this time to deliver an envelope with a thank-you card for his favorite mail carrier.

That is what a new report from the World Economic Forum and Ellen MacArthur Foundation warns. If the current trend continues, the report said, oceans will contain one ton of plastic for every three tons of fish in 2025. By 2050, plastics will weigh more than fish. The problem is that each year at least 8 million tons of plastics end up in oceans around the world. This is the same as dumping the contents of one garbage truck into the ocean every minute.Not all plastic ends up in the ocean because someone throws a plastic bottle into the water. Plastic containers and other trash thrown onto streets and sidewalks often are swept into oceans. Unlike other types of trash in the ocean, the plastic never bio-degrades. There is a way to slow the amount of plastics going into the oceans — people can recycle more. Currently only about 14 percent of plastics are recycled. Research in Europe shows as much as 53 percent of plastic could be recycled using available technology. The report says that another solution is using less plastic for packaging products. But that is not likely to happen.“Given plastic packaging’s many benefits, both the possibility and desirability of an across-the-board dramatic reduction in the volume of plastic packaging used is clearly low, ”the report said. But the authors note reducing the use of plastics should be tried“where possible. ”For decades, scientists warned that plastics are killing fish. Research shows that fish are dying from choking after eating plastics. Another cause of death is that plastics cause“intestinal blockage and starvation, ”the environmental group said.8. Why is the garbage truck mentioned in Paragraph 1 ?A. To explain how plastics end up in the ocean.B. To warn people against the ocean pollution.C. To clarify the seriousness of the problem.D. To point out some details of the report.9. Why is plastic more dangerous than other types of trash?A. There is too much of it.B. It poisons the ocean water.C. It is from different sources.D. It is hard to break down.10. What is the author’s attitude to the suggested solutions?A. Pessimistic.B. Curious.C. Unconcerned.D. Terrified.11. What can we infer from the text?A. People are not aware of the problem.B. Recycling is limited by lack of technology.C. Plastic packaging has become part of our life.D. Fish in the ocean will be replaced by plastics.DWe all use different ways to remember ideas, facts and things we need to store. Remembering is an extremely important part of our learning experience. Information process, storage and recall encourage purposeful learning.But the brain doesn’t store everything we want or need for future use. It makes choices and tends to remember information that forms a memorable pattern. Things you learned recently can be particularly difficult to remember because they haven’t taken root in your mind.“Forgetting allows us to remember what is really important to our survival. We forget much of what we read, watch, and think directly every day.” writes John Medina in his book, Brain Rules.How do you avoid losing 90%of what you’ve learned? An inspiring writer and speaker Zig Ziglar once said: “Repetition is the mother of learning, the father of action, which makes it the architect of accomplishment.”Repetition has been a remembering skill for ages. When you hear or read something once，you don’t really learn it-at least not well enough to store the new information for long. The right kind of repetition can do wonders for your memory. People learn or remember better by repeating things or getting exposed to information many times. Othersrepeat particular steps or processes deliberately a number of times or even years to become better at certain skills.Daniel Coyle explains in his book, The Little Book of Talent:“...closing the book and writing a summary, even short ones, forces you to figure out the key points, process and organize those ideas so they make sense, and write them on the page. When you pick it back up weeks later, reread all of your notes or highlights to strengthenthe ideas even further.”People learn by repeating things. Better learning is a repetition process. Every time we repetitively access something we already know, we increase the memory’s stored value.12. Which of the following can be inferred from the passage?A.
