It is the relentless pursuit of a goal, despite setbacks, failures, and the voice of doubt that whispers in the ear. The story of Thomas Edison, the inventor of the light bulb, is a testament to this indomitable spirit.Edison faced countless failures in his quest to create a long-lasting light source. His laboratory was a testament to these failures, filled with broken filaments and discarded prototypes. Yet, each setback served as a stepping stone, fueling his determination to succeed. He famously remarked, “I have not failed. I’ve just found 10,000 ways that won’t work.”The lesson from Edison’s life is not just about the end result—the invention that revolutionized the world—but about the journey itself. It isa journey marked by resilience, patience, and an unwavering belief in oneself. Perseverance teaches us that success is not a destination but a process, and that the road to it is often paved with obstacles.Moreover, perseverance fosters creativity and innovation. When faced with challenges, we are forced to think outside the box, to explore new avenues and try unconventional approaches. This is how breakthroughs are made, and how we push the boundaries of what is possible.In today’s fast-paced world, where instant gratification is often the norm, perseverance serves as a reminder that true success takes time, effort, and dedication. It encourages us to embrace the struggle, to see it as a necessary part of the growth process.So, as you embark on your own journey, remember the power of perseverance. Let it guide you through the toughest of times, and remind you that every step forward, no matter how small, brings you closer to your dreams.Questions:1.What is the main theme of the passage?•Answer: The power of perseverance in achieving success.2.How did Thomas Edison respond to his failures in creating a long-lasting light source?•Answer: He saw each failure as a learning opportunity and continued his relentless pursuit of the goal.3.What does the passage suggest about the relationship between perseverance and creativity/innovation?•Answer: Perseverance fosters creativity and innovation by encouraging individuals tothink outside the box and explore new avenues in the face of challenges.4.What message does the passage convey about the nature of success?•Answer: The passage conveys that success is not just about reaching a destination but about the process of persevering through challenges and obstacles along the way.Second Question: Reading Section APassage:Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions that follow.The Role of Storytelling in Cultural PreservationIn an age dominated by technology and rapid change, the importance of preserving cultural heritage cannot be overstated. One often overlooked method of cultural preservation is storytelling. For centuries, stories have been passed down through generations, not only entertaining but also educating listeners about their history, values, and traditions.Storytelling serves as a bridge between the past and the present, connecting people to their roots while also adapting to new contexts and audiences. It’s a dynamic process that allows for personal interpretation and creativity, ensuring that cultural narratives remain relevant. Furthermore, it encourages empathy and understanding among different communities by sharing common human experiences.In many cultures around the world, elders act as custodians of knowledge, passing on wisdom through tales that are both instructive and cautionary. These narratives not only provide moral guidance but also help instill a sense of identity and belonging in younger generations. As such, storytelling plays acrucial role in maintaining cultural continuity despite the challenges posed by globalization.Questions:1、What role does storytelling play in preserving culture according to the passage?Answer: Storytelling helps preserve cultural heritage by educating listeners about their history, values, and traditions.2、How does storytelling serve as a bridge between different times?Answer: It connects people to their roots while adapting to new contexts and audiences, allowing personal interpretation and creativity.3、Why is storytelling considered a crucial element in maintaining cultural continuity?Answer: Because it passes on wisdom and moral guidance, instilling a sense of identity and belonging in younger generations.4、What additional benefit does storytelling offer besides preserving cultural heritage?Answer: It encourages empathy and understanding among different communities by sharing common human experiences.请根据实际教学大纲和考试要求调整上述内容,以确保其符合具体的教育标准。

2021-2022学年福建省泉州科技中学高三(上)期中英语试卷(附详解)

2021-2022学年福建省泉州科技中学高三(上)期中英语试卷一、阅读理解(本大题共14小题,共37.5分)AAn Oceans VacuumThere's a collection of plastic trash in the middle of the Pacific Ocean.It's bigger than Texas-and growing.The way to clean it up now is to catch it with nets.That is both costly and slow.Instead,the Ocean Cleanup Project proposes 62-mile-long floating barriers that would use natural currents to trap trash.If next year's trials succeed,a full cleanupoperation would aim to start in 2020.It could reduce the trash by 42% over 10 years.Easy-On ShoesIn 2012,Mathew Walzer,a high school student with a disability,sent a note to Nike. "My dream is to go to college," he wrote,"without having to worry about someone coming to tie my shoes every day." Nike assigned a design team to the challenge.This year,they came out with their solution:the FlyEase.The basketball shoe can be fastened with one hand.A pair of Nike FlyEase shoes sells for ﹩130.An Airport for Drones(无人机)As Amazon,Google,and others get ready for drone delivery service,there is one bigquestion:what kinds of home bases will their drones have?Rwanda,in Africa,may have the answer.There,workers will soon start work on three "drone ports".The goal is to make it easier to transport food,medical supplies,electronics,and other goods through the hilly countryside.Construction is set to be completed in 2020.1.What's the advantage of the Oceans Vacuum?______A. It can be a money-saver.B. It can grow year by year.C. It can tear plastic into pieces.D. It can be put into wide use soon.2.What do we know about Nike?______A. It offers free shoes to the disabled.B. It is designing new shoes frequently.C. It provides customer-friendly services.D. It responded to Matthew's request passively.3.Why is Rwanda setting up "drone ports"?______A. Because road travel there is rough.B. Because there are too many drones.C. Because they're easier to construct than roads.D. Because they are receptive to new technology.BThe connection between people and plants has long been the subject of scientificresearch.Recent studies have found positive effects.A study conducted inYoungstown,Ohio,for example,discovered that greener areas of the city experienced less crime.In another,employees were shown to be 15% more productive when theirworkplaces were decorated with houseplants.The engineers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology(MIT)have taken it a step further—changing the actual composition of plants in order to get them to performdiverse,even unusual functions.These include plants that have sensors printed onto their leaves to show when they're short of water and a plant that can detect harmful chemicals in groundwater. "We're thinking about how we can engineer plants to replace functions of the things that we use every day," explained Michael Strano,a professor of chemicalengineering at MIT.One of his latest projects has been to make plants glow(发光)in experiments using some common vegetables.Strano's team found that they could create a faint light forthree-and-a-half hours.The light,about one-thousandth of the amount needed to read by,is just a start.The technology,Strano said,could one day be used to light the rooms or even to turn trees into self-powered street lamps.In the future,the team hopes to develop a version of the technology that can be sprayed onto plant leaves in a on-off treatment that would last the plant's lifetime.The engineers are also trying to develop an on and off "switch" where the glow would fade whenexposed to daylight.Lighting accounts for about 7% of the total electricity consumed in the US.Since lightingis often far removed from the power source - such as the distance from a power plant to street lamps on a remote highway - a lot of energy is lost during transmission(传输).Glowing plants could reduce this distance and therefore help save energy.4.What is the first paragraph mainly about?______A. A new study of different plants.B. A big fall in crime rates.C. Employees from various workplaces.D. Benefits from green plants.5.What is the function of the sensors printed on plant leaves by MIT engineers?______A. To detect plants' lack of water.B. To change compositions of plants.C. To make the life of plants longer.D. To test chemicals in plants.6.What can we expect of the glowing plants in the future?______A. They will speed up energy production.B. They may transmit electricity to the home.C. They might help reduce energy consumption.D. They could take the place of power plants.7.Which of the following can be the best title for the text?______A. Can we grow more glowing plants?B. How do we live with glowing plants?C. Could glowing plants replace lamps?D. How are glowing plants made pollution-free?CCoral reefs are some of the most diverse and valuable ecosystems on Earth.Coral reefs support more species per unit area than any other marine(海洋的)environment,including about 4,000 species of fish,800 species of hard corals and hundreds of otherspecies.Scientists estimate that there may be millions of undiscovered species living in and around reefs.This biodiversity is considered the key to finding new medicines for the 21st century.Many drugs are now being developed from coral reef animals and plants as possible cures for cancer,viruses,and other diseases.Healthy coral reefs(珊瑚礁)support fisheries as well as jobs and businesses throughtourism and recreation.About half of all managed fisheries depend on coral reefs and related habitats for a part of their life cycles.The National Marine Fisheries Serviceestimates the commercial value of U.S.fisheries from coral reefs is over ﹩100million.Local economies receive billions of dollars from visitors to reefs through diving tours,recreational fishing trips,hotels,restaurants,and other businesses based near reef ecosystems.Coral reef structures also buffer shorelines against 97 percent of the energy fromwaves,storms,and floods,helping to prevent loss of life,and property damage.When reefs are damaged or destroyed,the absence of this natural barrier can increase the damage to coastal communities from normal wave action and violent storms.Several million people live in U.S.coastal areas near coral reefs.Some coastal development is required to provide necessary infrastructure(基础设施)for coastal residents and the growing coastal tourism industry.Despite their great economic and recreational value,coral reefs are severely threatened by pollution,disease,and habitat destruction.Once coral reefs are damaged,they are less able to support the many creatures that live on them and the communities near them.When a coral reef supports fewer fish,plants,and animals,it also loses value as a tourist destination.8.Why is biodiversity important to medicines?______A. It can reduce the prices of new medicines.B. It can help make new medicines.C. It can be used for medicines.D. It can be used to cure diseases.9.What does the underlined word " buffer" in Paragraph 3 mean?______A. restore.B. clean.C. beautify.D. weaken.10.What will happen if coral reefs are damaged?______A. Most fish will die out.B. Coastal cities will attract fewer tourists.C. There will be no large fish.D. The sea will be polluted.11.Why does the author write this article?______A. To introduce the environments of infrastructure.B. To encourage readers to support marine environment.C. To show the importance of coral reefs.D. To stress the value of biodiversity.DNext week California will try to take cell phones from the hands of drivers,tellingeveryone from millionaires to workers that conversations behind the wheel must be on an earphone.Californians interviewed by Reuters mostly supported the law requiring hands-freephones in cars and banning cell phones entirely for drivers under 18,which will take effect on Tuesday,though they were puzzled by a loophole(漏洞)that allows seemingly more dangerous text messaging.Some were doubtful about lawmakers,who they blamed for failing to build more freeways or public transportation in the face of increasinglycrowded roads in the nation's most populous state and said hands-free conversations were not safer.KFI-AM radio talk-show host John Kobylt told Reuters. "It's stupid because we've one over about seven different studies and each one of them says it's the conversation that distracts you,not holding the phone."State Senator Joe Simitian,who introduced the bill,said keeping both hands on the wheel was always safer.He expected his law to save hundreds of lives.The Democratic lawmaker was considering introducing a new law to ban text messaging in the car,which he said wasn't an issue when he began working on the first one in 2001.Connecticut,New Jersey and New York have already banned drivers from talking onhand-held cell phones.In New Jersey,police have issued 35,000 tickets for using ahand-held phone or texting while driving since the law went into effect on March 1.But Californians interviewed by Reuters expressed ambivalence. "On the one hand I don't want to see people crash into each other,but I'm not going to get an ear thing." 38-year-old bank employee Jason Fischer said in Los Angeles.12.We can infer from Paragraph 2 that ______ .A. most Californians hate to use an earphone while making a call in the carB. public transportation in California isn't developed enoughC. in New Jersey few people use a hand-held phoneD. most of Californians are probably against the new law13.According to John Kobylt, ______ .A. all the lawmakers are stupidB. holding the phone is safer than using an earphoneC. it isn't dangerous to make a phone call while drivingD. it is the phone conversation while driving that is really dangerous (31)What will StateSenator Joe Simitian probably do in the future?______ A.He will suggest a law tocompletely ban cell phones while driving. B.He will conduct a new survey amongCalifornians. C.He will suggest building more roads in California. D.He will suggest a law to forbid text messaging while driving.14.The underlined word "ambivalence" in the last paragraph probably refers to ______ .A. a positive attitudeB. a negative attitudeC. a confused feelingD. an excited feeling二、阅读七选五(本大题共5小题,共12.5分)Every year,students across the U.K.engage in the annual ritual(仪式)of telling college and university admissions officers why they deserve a seat at the school of theirchoice.However,this task is filled with anxiety and fear. (1) This,of course,leads many to ask the question:How should I write an essay about myself for college?Here are tips to keep in mind.(2) For example,if all your friends are writing application essays about covid-19,that maybe a good reason why you should avoid it.Unless,of course,you've had avivid,life-changing experience that you are burning to share.Admissions counselors say that the best essays help them learn something about the candidate that they would never know from reading the rest of the application.Keep your individuality in the spotlight. (3) What sets you apart from others?Tell your extraordinary story but remember not to oversell yourself.Your reader wants to seesomething personal about you,something that makes you stand out among others.Imagine how many applications the admissions committee reads per day,and think twice before writing some general information that doesn't show your individuality.Committees value authenticity.They want to hear your voice.This essay may give you the time and space to explain why a particular achievement means too much to you.But resist the urge to exaggerate:admission counselors read thousands of essays each year. (4) Sound like yourself.Don't use words you wouldn't normally use.Don't use fancy languageyou wouldn't use in real life.Imagine yourself reading this essay out loud to a classroom full of people who have never met you.

They had to move in and out of shelters,hotels and even the family car.“I know I have been made stronger. I was homeless. My family slept on the floor and we were lucky if we got more than one full meal a day. Getting a shower, food and clean clothes was an everyday struggle,” Fearce said in a speech she gave at her high school graduation ceremony. Fearce overcame her day-to-day struggles by focusing on a better day. “I just told myself to keep working, because the future will not be like this anymore. And that helped me get through,” she told WSBTV.Fearce was determined to be a good role model for her younger sister. She found inspiration in her late grandmother, struggling with deadly diseases, who gave Fearce emotional support. In her junior and senior year, Fearce took both high school and college courses, missing out on the free meals she depended on so she could get to her college classes. Despite having to use her cellphone to study after the shelter lights were turned off at night, she not only graduated as valedictorian (毕业生代表) of her 2013 class with a 4.5 grade average, but was also given a ride scholarship—including a meal plan to Spelman College in Atlanta.After graduation, she worked full time for two years at the National Institutes for Health inBethesda,Maryland,doing research on drugs. Last fall, she entered Yale and set a course to earn both a PhD and medical degree.4. What does the underlined word “perseverance” in paragraph 1 refer to?A. instant passion.B. continuous efforts.C. great patience.D. selfless ambitions.5. How did Fearce feel facing the sufferings?A. Sad and disappointed.B. Stressed and defeated.C. Determined and confident.D. Joyous and contented.6. What can we know about Fearce’s learning experience?A. Her grandma encouraged her to study medicine.B. Her high school offered her free meals and courses.C. She failed to study late due to frequent power cut.D. She gained remarkable high school achievement.7. What can be a suitable title for the text?A. From Homeless to YaleB. Meet American’s Top GirlC. Disabled but not DefeatedD. Chelesa Fearce: A Girl of Many TalentsCWhile the arts can' t stop the COVID-19 virus or the social unrest we see in the world today, they can give us insight into the choices we make when moving through crises and chaos. The arts invite everyone to think in new ways.We often experience works of art as something that's pleasing to our senses without a full understanding of the creative effort. Great art often shows us contradictions and crises, and we can learn a great deal from their resolutions(解决). Through our understanding of art, we can gain a deeper understanding of how we might overcome our own challenges. In understanding extremes of contrast, we can see the beauty in art with themes that are not simply pleasing for their magnificent features or qualities.Beethoven offers a wonderful example of moving artfully through crises and chaos. He composed his Symphony No. 9 as his hearing loss became more and more pronounced. The opening of the symphony seems to come out of nowhere, from near silence in the opening to a full expression of what many consider to be the joy of freedom and universal brotherhood with Schiller’s Ode to joy(欢乐颂). Beethoven appears to have created a work of art that not only freed him from his personal struggles, but one that also speaks to the joy of living together in peace and harmony.Have a dialogue between the two opposing parts and you will find that they always start out fighting each other until we come to an appreciation of difference—a oneness of the two opposingforces.The arts offer many lessons that can help us gain the knowledge we need to move more confidently in today’ s competitive and uncertain environment. An openness to arts-based solutions will give you more control over your future.8. What value does art have beyond pleasing people's senses?A. It brings people inner peace.B. It contributes to problem-solving.C. It reduces the possibility of crises.D. It deepens understanding of music.9. What can we learn about Beethoven's Symphony No. 9?A. It celebrates freedom and unity.B. It aims to show crises and chaos.C. It opens with Schiller's Ode to Joy.D. It is unfinished due to his hearing loss.10. What is the author's suggestion on dealing with conflicting forces?A. Leaving things as they are.B. Making a choice between them.C. Separating them from each other.D. Engaging them in a conversation.11. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A. How COVID-19 changes artB. Essentials of Symphony No. 9C. Moving artfully through crisesD. Joy in the eyes of BeethovenDWhen Jennifer Doudna was in sixth grade, she came home one day to find that her dad had lefta book titled The Double Helix on her bed. She put it aside, thinking it was one of those detective tales she loved.On a rainy Saturday, she picked up the book. As she sped through the pages, she became fascinated by the drama, which encouraged her to explore nature's wonders. Even though her high school teacher told her that girls didn't become scientists, she decided she would.She worked with a biologist, Charpentier, to turn a curiosity of nature into an invention—an easy-to-use tool that can edit DNA. Known as Crispr, the tool will transform the human race. James Watson, the author of The Double Helix, later told her it was the most important biological advance: since he and Francis Crick discovered the structure of DNA.For this achievement, Doudna and Charpentier were awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 2020. Until now,only five women, beginning with Marie Curie in 1911, had won or shared the Nobel for Chemistry out of 184 award winners. When this year's prize was announced, Dr. Charpentier said it would provide a message specifically to young girls who would like to follow the path of science and to show them that women can also be awarded prizes.A few decades from now, if it becomes possible and sate to edit DNA, should we allow parents to improve the IQ and physical strength of their kids? Should we let them decide eye color1 ? Skin color1 ? Height? After helping to discover Crispr, Dr. Doudna has become a leader in considering these moral issues. That's the main message we should take from this Nobel: New technologies can be a huge benefit to the human race, but in order to make sure they are used wisely, it's important for people to understand them.12. Jennifer Doudna decided to become a scientist because,__________A. her father pushed herB. a book inspired herC. her teacher encouraged herD. James Watson motivated her13. Dr. Doudna was awarded the Nobel Prize because,__________.A. she wrote the book “The Double Helix"B. she discovered the structure of DNAC. she is a hardworking woman scientistD. she helped invent a tool for editing DNA14. According to passage, which of the following is NOT true?A. The two women's success will inspire more girls to be devoted to science.B. Since 1911, there have been 184 people who won the Nobel for chemistry.C. If girls follow the path of science, they will surely achieve their goals.D. Crispr will make a big difference to the human race.15. Which words can best describe Jennifer Doudna?A. Determined and responsible.B. Ambitious and humorous.C. Cruel and indifferent.D. Fearless and stubborn.第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

2020-2021学年泉州一中高三英语上学期期中试题及参考答案

2020-2021学年泉州一中高三英语上学期期中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AThe Internet has revolutionized our lives to such an extent (程度) that for most people, the global network has become more than just a tool but rather an important aid in everyday life. More and more people go online as wireless networks have brought the Internet closer and closer: it’s on our mobile phones, in our cars and TV sets, in hospital surgery rooms and in fishing boats that battle the waves of the Atlantic.And this revolution has brought along with it a new way of shopping. Both big and small, e-business websites have flooded the Internet by the hundreds of thousands. Anything you can buy from a brick and mortar store (实体店) you can also buy online: from food and clothes to toys, no matter what you’re looking for, you’re bound to find the right online store with just a few clicks of the mouse. You can use the Internet to find new suppliers, post buying requests or search for products and services.This revolution has affected brick and mortar business owners greatly. And what was their reaction? They’ve opened online stores to go hand in hand with their conventional business.But do the big players have reasons to be afraid? Are we going to start seeing ghostly, deserted Walmarts (沃尔玛) across the country? Probably not in the near future but the day will come when most people will just stop shopping offline anymore. A trip to Walmart wastes time, burns gas.The recent advancements in mobile technology and the introduction of mobile phones with enhanced (提高的) web capabilities have even made some people order their groceries when they get out from work and have them delivered at their doorstep by the time they get home. And as “Time is money”, this practice is lifesaving for people whowork two jobs.Technology will continue to advance and e-business will follow closely in its footsteps. Everything will become easier and less time consuming, leaving us more time to enjoy the things that really matter in life: the ones we love, our friends and hobbies.1. What is Paragraph 1 mainly about?A. The popularity of mobile phones.B. The great influence of the Internet.C. The importance of the Internet.D. The function of the global network.2. In response to the threat of online business, the brick-and-mortar store owners________.A. have stopped their traditional businessB. have started their dislike of the InternetC. have established their own websiteD. have opened their online stores3. What would be the best title for the passage?A. A New Way of Shopping.B. The Internet Revolution.C. What is the Reaction to Online Shopping?D. Is Online Shopping the Future of E-business?BFrom Mozart to Metallica, tons of people enjoy listening to various types of music while they paint, write, or draw. Most believe that music helps increase creativity, but an international study conducted by English and Swedish researchers is challenging that view. The study results wereechoedby scientists fromLancasterUniversity, and theUniversityofGavle, saying their findings show music actually weakens creativity.To reach their conclusions, researchers had volunteers complete verbal problems designed to inspire creativity while sitting in a quiet room, and then again while music played in the background. They found that background music significantly weakened the volunteers’ ability to complete tasks connected with verbal creativity. The team also tested background noises like those commonly heard in a library, but found that such noises had no influence on subjects’ creativity.The tasks were simple word games. For example, volunteers were given three words, such as dress, rise, and flower. Then, they were asked to find a single word connected with all three that could be combined to form a common phrase or word. The single word, in this case, would be “sun” (sundress, sunrise, sunflower). Volunteers completed the tasks in either a quiet room, or while listening to two different types of music: rock music or light music“We found strong evidence of weakened performance when playing background music in comparison to quiet background conditions,” says co-author D. Neil McLatchie ofLancasterUniversity. He and his colleagues find that music negatively influences the verbal working memory processes of the brain, preventing creativity. Also, as far as the library background noises having seemingly no effect, the study’s authors believe that was the casebecause library noises create a “regular state” environment that doesn’t affect concentration.“To conclude, the findings here challenge the popular view that music increases creativity, and instead show that music, whatever type it is, is always a disadvantage for creative performance in problem solving,” the study reads.4. The underlined word in Paragraph 1 can be replaced by ________.A. challengedB. acceptedC. doubtedD. heard5. What were the volunteers asked to do in the study?A. To play music.B. To combine given words.C. To create new words.D. To connect words with music.6. What can we infer from the study?A. Quiet background inspires creativity best.B. Library noise does no harm to creativity.C. Music has a bad effect on language ability.D. Music types matter in creative performance.7. Which is the main idea of the passage?A. Quiet Environments Prevent Concentration.B. Background NoiseAffects Concentration.C. Composing Music Weakens Creativity.D. Listening to Music Reduces Creativity.CYu Chenrui, 29, is a maker of automata (机关人偶) in Chengdu, Sichuan province. Automata are built to look like humans or animals and give the illusion (错觉) of being able to move ontheir own, “The art form amazes me, because it combines various skills, from storytelling to mechanics, and the pieces are built with a sense of humor,” Yu says. His creations have caught the attention of well-known artists and his fancy pieces of art have attracted collectors worldwide.Interested in handcrafts as a boy, Yu first encountered automata designed by Japanese artist Kazuaki at an exhibition in 2015 when he studied at the Communication University of China in Beijing. “It was like meeting a like-minded friend, ” Yu says, recalling the moment. As an art and design major, he began to learn the craft by himself and, with the support of his tutor, he kept studying and examining automata in school.When he graduated in 2016, Yu landed a job at an advertising agency in Beijing. He stayed on at the company for three years because, at that time, he was not sure that he could make a living out of his hobby. While working as a designer Yu kept exploring and advancing his skills in wood carving and mechanics. Eventually, despite the job’s good salary, it was not enough to make up for not following his true passion. Finally, in 2018, Yu quit his job and returned to Chengdu to open his automata workshop.To keep himself occupied while running his workshop, he planted blueberries, raspberries and cherries. He watered, weeded and added fertilizer (肥料) every day. “Daily routines helped me calm down and inspire my creativity, which resulted in an automaton called To Observe the Autumn,” Yu says.Over time, Yu’s reputation grew and his business flourished (兴旺). Many of Yu’s creations are built with a dash of wisdom, a sprinkle of humor and are inspired by observations of real life. Yu knows that there are many more creative ideas waiting to be expressed. “It feels quite good to be fully devoted to automata creation and I am still searching for myself.”8. What can we learn from the first paragraph?A. Yu is equipped with various skills.B. Yu is a person full of sense of humor.C Yu is now gaining recognition worldwide.D. Yu is following the latest trend in handcraft.9. Why did Yu quit his job in Beijing?A. He couldn't make a living out of it.B. He wanted to pursue his own dream.C. He missed his family in Chengdu.D. He thought he had a lot experience.10. According to Yu, what contributes to his creativity as an automata artist?A. The fruits he grows.B. Success of his business.C. His devotion to the job.D. Observation from daily life.11. Which of the following can best describe Yu’s story?A. There is no end to learning.B. Great hopes make great man.C. Actions speak louder than words.D. Experience is the mother of wisdom.DThe first patient who died on my watch was an older man with a faulty heart. We tried to slow it down with treatment, but it suddenly stopped beating completely. Later, whenever I would have a case like that one, I found myself second-guessing my clinical management. However, it turns out that thinking twice may actually cause more harm than good.In a working paper, Emory University researchers found that when doctors delivering a baby have a bad result, they are more likely to switch to a different delivery method with the next patient, often unnecessarily andsometimes with worse results.Because doctors make so many decisions that have serious consequences, thefalloutfrom second-guessing appears especially large for us. A 2006 study found that if a patient had a bleed after being prescribed (开药) warfarin, the physician was about 20% less likely to prescribe later patients the blood thinner that prevents strokes (中风). However, if a patient was not on warfarin and had a stroke physicians were still no more likely to prescribe warfarin to their other patients.These findings highlight interesting behavioral patterns in doctors. In the blood-thinner study, doctors were more affected by the act of doing harm (prescribing a blood thinner that ended up hurting doctors were more affected by the act of doing harm(prescribing a blood thinner that ended up hurting a patient) and less affected by letting harm happen (not prescribing a blood thinner and the patient having a stroke). Yet a stroke is often more permanent and damaging than a bleed.But this phenomenon is not unique to medicine. ''Overreaction to Fearsome Risks'' holds true for broader society.For instance, sensational headlines about shark attacks on humans in Florida in 2001 caused a panic and led the state to prohibit shark-feeding expeditions. Yet shark attacks had actually fallen that year and, according to the study, such a change was probably unnecessary given the extremely small risk of such an attack happening.Humans are likely to be influenced by emotional and often irrational (不理性的) thinking when processing information, bad events and mistakes. As much as we don't want to cause an unfortunate event to happen again, we need to be aware that a worst situation that can be imagined doesn't necessarily mean we did anything wrong. When we overthink, we fail to rely on thinking based on what we know or have experienced. Instead, we may involuntarily overanalyze and come to the wrong conclusion.I have treated dozens of patients who presented with the same illnesses as my first patient, who died more than a year ago. Instead of second-guessing myself, I trusted my clinical instinct (本能) and stayed the course. Every one of those patients survived. You should trust your instinct in your life, too.12. The first two paragraphs suggest that________.A. bad medical outcomes affect doctorsB delivering babies can be difficult workC. some doctors are not very experiencedD. doctors sometimes make silly mistakes13. In the blood-thinner study, doctors________.A. tend to prescribe less effective medicineB. are more concerned about the patients' safetyC. become less confident in writing a prescriptionD. believe a stroke is more treatable than a bleeding14. What does the underlined word ''fallout'' in Paragraph 3 probably mean?A. ResultB. BenefitC. DifferenceD. Absence15. The author will probably agree that________.A. we should not doubt our own decisionsB. our experience will pave way for our futureC. humans are emotional and irrational on the wholeD. instincts don't necessarily lead to wrong directions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。

But does one plastic straw or cup really make a difference? Artist Benjamin Von Wong wants you to know that it does. He builds massive sculptures out of plastic garbage, forcing viewers to re-examine their relationship to single-use plastic products.At the beginning of the year, the artist built a piece called “Strawpocalypse,” a pair of 10-foot-tall plastic waves, frozen mid-crash. Made of 168,000 plastic straws collected from several volunteer beach cleanups, the sculpture made its first appearance at the Estella Place shopping center in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam.Just 9% of global plastic waste is recycled. Plastic straws are by no means the biggest source(来源)of plastic pollution, but they’ve recently come under fire because most people don’t need them to drink with and, because of their small size and weight, they cannot be recycled. Every straw that’s part ofVon Wong’s artwork likely camefrom a drink that someone used for only a few minutes. Once the drink is gone, the straw will take centuries to disappear.In a piece from 2018, Von Wong wanted to illustrate(说明)a specific statistic: Every 60 seconds, a truckload’s worth of plastic enters the ocean. For this work, titled “Truckload of Plastic,” Von Wong and a group of volunteers collected more than 10,000 pieces of plastic, which were then tied together to look like they’d been dumped(倾倒)from a truck all atonce.Von Wong hopes that his work will also help pressure big companies to reduce their plastic footprint.4. What are Von Wong’s artworks intended for?A. Beautifying the city he lives in.B. Introducing eco-friendly products.C. Drawing public attention to plastic waste.D. Reducing garbage on the beach.5. Why does the author discuss plastic straws in paragraph 3?A. To show the difficulty of their recycling.B. To explain why they are useful.C. To voice his views on modern art.D. To find a substitute for them.6. What effect would “Truckload of Plastic” have on viewers?A. Calming.B. Disturbing.C. Refreshing.D. Challenging.7. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A. Artists’ Opinions on Plastic SafetyB. Media Interest in Contemporary ArtC. Responsibility Demanded of Big CompaniesD. Ocean Plastics Transformed into SculpturesCRecently, I experienced a wonderful lesson in how little things still meana lot. My brother, mother and I live in Hawaii. Our farm is at least a dozen miles from even the most basic of services. Therefore, I take weekly trips to the shop to gel supplies. About a month ago, I finished loading up the car and was about to leave when a piece of paper on the ground caught my eye. I picked it up and read it carefully.Immediately, I was grateful that I had done that___4___It was a receipt (收据) from the State Motor Vehicle Division, recording the owner's payment of her Vehicle'sRegistration fees. I put myself in his or her shoes and thought: no one would throw this away. I looked over the receipt for any personal data, perhaps a license plate (车牌) or telephone number, but failed. How could I find the owner in the busy, crowded parking lot? Had it been lying there for a few minutes or a week? So I checked the date, the fees paid and the name of the owner, who must live in our town. I decided that the best and easiest step to take was to put the receipt in an envelope and send it to the owner first the next morning.By the end of the week, I received a beautiful “thank you” letter from a woman including a handwritten message and a card. In the letter, the woman explained how the wind took her receipt from a pocket in her car's passenger door. She had searched everywhere for quite some time before giving up.It felt great to know I had helped someone avoid a loss by doing something that seemed little and unimportant.8. What does the underlined sentence in paragraph 1 mean?A. He was lucky to learn the lesson.B. It was a good idea to do shopping that day.C. He was right to pick up the paper.D. It turned out the paper belonged to the writer.9. What information did the writer get from the paper?A The woman's license plate number.B. The woman's phone number.C. The woman's name.D. The woman's address.10. How did the woman lose the receipt?A. She forgot where she had put it.B. A strong wind blew it away.C. It fell onto the floor.D. She left it in the parking lot.11. What can be the best title for the text?A. A Lesson I Will Never ForgetB. Never Lose Heart or Give upC. Little Things Still Mean a LotD. Think Carefully Before You ActDA single toy catches a child's attention for a limited period of time, but a box of items that allows a child to build their own toys will catch their imagination for years to come. This brilliant idea already exists in real product form, and it's called Toyi.Toyi is described as an eco-friendly creative building kit, and it recently won the well-known IF Design Award. It came from Istanbul, Turkish, where a young female designer named Elif Atmaca first came up with the idea for it when she wanted to help the kids living in disadvantaged areas. These children do not have access to the variety of interesting toys that wealthier children do.Toyi Atmaca's design allows children to transform what are around them into clever toys. It consists of sticks, junction parts, flexible connectors, toy body parts like feet, eyes, hands, and wheels that can be used to turn old water bottles, cups, boxes, towels, etc. into cute, clever, and unique playthings. This toy kit upcycles(升级利用) materials that would otherwise go to waste, turning a recycling bin into a treasure container.“Our initial target was to deliver Toyi kits to only disadvantaged children in Turkish,” Atmaca told the media. But during a research conducted with around300 children, .she realized that the restriction on being creative went beyond any boundary. “I saw that everything was planned and shaped by grown-ups, blocking the kids' imagination in a significant way,” said Atmaca.Atmaca concluded that each kid needed space where he or she could freely create. She explained the entire process should be left to kids’ creativity, reminding teachers and all grown-ups that child-led play was an excellent way for children to develop lifelong skills.Toyi's creators are now considering distributing the kits to as many children as possible around the world through different international NGOs. Atmaca notes that for each Toyi kit sold out, they will also donate one kit toa disadvantaged child through different partnerships around the world.12. Why did Atmaca design Toyi at first?A. To win the famous IF Design Award.B. To help poor kids make their own toys.C. To protect the environment in Istanbul.D. To recycle all the waste in the dustbin.13. Which is probably the product made with the toy kit of Toyi?A. A new picture of a young boy.B. A computer with high technology.C. A treasure container from a dustbin:D. A six-armed “robot” from a water bottle.14. How do the toy kits help improve the children's ability?A. It provides the kids various types of toys.B. It offers space for the kids’ creative minds.C. It changes the poor kids' living conditions.D. It teaches the kids to share joys with others.15. What is the new target for Atmaca and her partners?A. Donating toykits to more poor children.B. Selling toy kits to every kid in the world.C. Designing new toy kits for kids and adults.D. Doing further research on the kids' demands.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。

"Hey,little bear," he says.Rusell,now 70,has spent more than ten springs and summers living with brown bears in the eastern-most part of Russia."No question,bears are dangerous," says Russell,but he also argues that fearing them prevents us from recognizing their intelligent,playful and peaceful nature. "They attack us because we abuse them." he insists."What I want to do now is work on the human side of the problem," Russell says.In Canada -a country where cities spread deep into the rural landscape and hunters kill about 450 bears annually,he is determined to change the way we treat our neighbors.Russell was raised with the idea that "the only good bear is a dead bear." His father,a hunter,shared stories of cruel brown bears with his five children.However,when the family's hunting business declined in the early 1960s,Russell joined his father on an expedition to film brown bears in Alaska.Russell couldn't help but wonder why bears behaved aggressively towards people carrying guns,but left the film-makers alone. "I suspected they didn't like cruelty," he says.In 1994 he tested out his theory in British Columbia's Khutzeymateen Inlet,where he took tourists on bear-viewing tours.One afternoon,while resting on a log between guiding trips,Russell sat still as a female brown bear casually approached."I knew if I did not move,she would keep coming," he later said. "I had decided to let her come as close as she wanted."Russell spoke to the bear in gentle tones and she sat down beside him.She put her paw on his hand and Russell responded to the gesture,touching her nose,lip and teeth.These were the iron jaws featured in his father's campfire stories,now no more threatening than the nose of a little dog.If he could repeat similar moments,Russell believed he could prove that "just by treating bears kindly,people can live safely with them".(1)According to Russell,bears attack humans because they .A.mistreat themB.are afraid of themC.mistake their playful tricksD.have no idea of their real nature(2)The underlined part in Para.4 suggests .A.a good bear never diesB.a live bear is dangerousC.the only good bear is deadD.a bear is aggressive to gun holders(3)The author's purpose of writing this passage is to .A.show us how brave he isB.warn us not to approach bearsC.encourage us to play with bearsD.tell us to live in peace with bears12.(7.5分)A survey of 1,000 people showed that an incredible 60 percent of workers ate at their desks every day while two thirds take 30 minutes or less for lunch.This means they are working an extra 180 hours a year-equal to 16 eight-hour days.Even when staffs do manage to leave their desks,they are usually on business with nearly a quarter admitting to regularly using the time to catch up with professional contacts.An academic expert in the science of workplaces said employees were putting their health at risk by refusing to take a lunch break.Dr Tissington,Associate Dean of Business Partnerships at Aston University,said people feel "under pressure" at work,with many spending long hours at their desks, "tapping away at keyboards,staring at screens and sitting with bad posture in awkward positions."He said it was important for workers to take regular breaks,get up,move and walk around a bit. "Resting,or taking a break in the middle of the day helps to clear out the mind and prepares us for a productive afternoon," he said."The feeling of guilt for taking lunch breaks is a subject that is concerning and probably requires proper investigation," headded.Dr.Tissington mentioned he makes sure to get away from his desk at lunchtime and deliberately chooses to get lunch from different places-changing his route to get there. "This has the added benefit of exercise," he explained,"and,working in a large organization,it gives me the opportunity to meet different colleagues along the way."Office workers had admitted to sacrificing their lunch breaks to further their careers.PR assistant Tammy Phillips,24,said he hadn't taken a lunch break since past two years. "The way I view it is that I can get on with work when it's quieter at lunch time and it never hurts your career for the bosses to see you at your desk when your colleagues swan out fora sandwich," he said."The competition for jobs now is so fierce that I've known friends who have quit smoking because they don't want to be seen to go out for a cigarette during the day."(1)We can learn from the first paragraph that .A.workers want to escape from their workB.many workers do not take a full lunch breakC.different workers have different lunch breaksD.most workers are not permitted to have a full lunch break(2)Which of the following is true about Dr.Tissington?A.He enjoys physical exercise.B.He feels guilty at taking lunch breaks.C.He likes to stay away from his colleagues.D.He takes different routes to have lunch purposely.(3)What is probably the best title for the text?A.Time for Having a Lunch BreakB.An Increasingly Popular Working StyleC.Lunch Skippers Work Extra 16 Days YearlyD.Giving up a Lunch Break:Risk Your Health13.(10分)"What are you?" they ask. "Guess," I say.Some suggest I have Japanese eyes.Others think I'm Filipino,maybe Indian.Few guess the truth:I am Mexican American.But it's not like I've ever worn that name alone.I'm part of a younger generation of Americans whose identity is shaped neither by where we came from nor where we ended up.My parents know the California immigrant experience first-hand.They grew up picking fruit in the San Joaquin Valley,knowing what it was to be poor,but also knowing what it was to be Mexican.Wanting a better life for their children,they went to college and got professional jobs.By the time I was born,they were fully accepted into the middle class.I grew up in the racially mixed zones of Sacramento,and when my parents talked of their years in the fields it was hard to connect those stories to where we found ourselves now.By the time I reached my teens,difference had announced itself We were all struggling for a sense of individuality,looking everywhere but where we came from.Identity became goods.Wearing certain clothes and liking certain kinds of music created social categories.I became a junkman,sorting through the ruins of pop culture past looking for the pieces of myself.In love with the Beatles,I linked myself to England.Fascinated by Japanese cartoon,I took language classes at the local Buddhist temple. I grew up American to a fault,rarely considering my own people's culture and humanity.I left Sacramento and moved to San Francisco's Mission District to put myself together again.There I first saw my people living in a separate community that had its own language,one I'd never learned.My brown face led people to ask me for directions in Spanish.I could only respond with a universally understood shrug."This is what 1 am," I said to myself,looking at a street full of newly arrived immigrants.No,that wasn't quite it.I corrected myself: "This is where I come from."Is it tragic that I grew up far from my mother culture,discovering it so late in life?I prefer to think that my American upbringing has taught me to apply insights from many different cultures to my everyday life.I am a product not just of Mexico or the U.S.but of the world as a whole.(1)Where does the writer grow up?A.In Sacramento.B.In a Mexico town.C.In the San Joaquin Valley.D.In San Francisco's Mission District.(2)What did the writer learn from his American upbringing?A.To promote mother culture.B.To adapt to new surroundings.C.To clearly express individuality.D.To learn from different cultures.(3)You can infer from the article that the writer .A.liked to play sportsB.wanted to learn SpanishC.was interested in different culturesD.did not like living in San Francisco(4)This article is mainly about .A.the growing pains of immigrantsB.the culture differences in AmericaC.the author's exploration of his identityD.the problems of immigrants in America第二节(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.选项中有两项为多余选项.14.(10分)Time after time,I am on different internet forums,and I end up communicating with people who want to starta blog or website and are,"going to get started soon", "thinking about it",or "still going over my options",and so on.While a bit of planning and research will serve you well when starting any project,often months later,these same people are "still thinking about it".While there are many reasons that may stop someone from even starting a project they have in mind,fear being the most obvious,the idea of perfectionism seems to be the second most. (1)There is a proverb, "Tomorrow is often the busiest day of the week." There is no such thing as the perfect plan.In fact,you spend so much time being concerned about getting everything right and perfect but it wears your initial enthusiasm down. (2)Yes,you should want to be reaching for excellence,but who starts out with being excellent?Excellence will only come from trial and error.Just make a decision and start following through.Forget trying to be a perfectionist.(3)It comes from the belief that,"anything I do that is less than perfect is not worth doing".This way of thinking leads to one becoming discouraged and then failed even to start your project.To start,just begin with something that is good enough,and then keep working to improve on it.Make a basic plan,take action,and then start improving the actual results. (4)Let go of the fear,stop thinking and start doing,and forget starting out with, "it's got to be perfect."I'll leave you with the words of an actual doer,who was not a perfect person,and all his decisions were not perfect.(5)"You don't have to see the whole staircase,just take the first step."A.In fact,perfectionism is an unhealthy belief.B.I'll provide you with some examples of action.C.Yet the only way to a solution is to start doing.D.However,he is an example to be followed today.E.Once you begin,it's often less painful to keep working.F.Getting started on a project is not a life and death decision.G.The result is that time passes and so does the perfect moment.第三部分 语言运用 (共两节)第一节:完形填空(共20个小题;每小题1.5分,满分30分)阅读下面短文,从短文后各题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项.15.(30分)Best friends Joe and Paul spent the morning of June 23,1963,playing baseball.At about noon Paul started feeling (1).He wanted a burger from the drugstore on Center Street with Joe."Ummm,I'll ask my mom if I can go.I need her (2) ," Joe said.The situation was difficult for Joe.There were (3)that he shall not sit with his friend because of the color of his skin.Joe's parents and many other people were trying to (4)those rules.They listened to the speeches of Dr.MartinLuther King,Jr.,who was trying to remove (5) practices completely."It's hot," Joe's mother said.

An old man came to my office and asked.I nodded. "Mark talked about you a lot.I want to show you something," he said,taking a wallet out of his pocket. "They found this on him when he was killed in the battle.We thought you might recognize it."Opening the wallet,he carefully removed two worn pieces of notebook paper that had obviously been taped,folded and refolded many times.I knew without looking that the papers were the ones on which I had listed all the good things each of Mark's classmates had said about him.And that happened 20 years ago.Mark was in the third grade class I taught.All 34 of my students were dear to me,but Mark was one in a million.Very neat in appearance,he had that happy-to-be-alive attitude that made even his occasional misbehavior delightful.Mark also talked without stopping.I tried to remind him again and again that talking without permission was unacceptable.What impressed me so much,though,was the.sincere response every time I had to correct him for misbehaving."Thank you for correcting me,Sister!" I didn't know what to make of it at first but before long I became accustomed to hearing it many times a day.One morning my patience was growing thin when Mark talked once too often.I made a new-teacher's mistake.I looked at Mark and said, "If you say one more word,I am going to tape your mouth shut!"It wasn't ten seconds later when Chuck shouted, "Mark is talking again." I hadn't asked any of the students to help me watch Mark,but since I had stated the punishment in front of the class,I had to act on it.注意:1.所续写短文的词数应为150左右;2.至少使用5个短文中划有下划线的关键词语;3.续写部分分为两段,每段的开头语已为你写好;4.续写完成后,请用下划线标出你所使用的关键词语.I walked to my desk and took out a roll of tape.One day I decided to do something different when Mark talked again in class.。
