Knightscope says the goal is to reduce crime by half in areas the robots guard.William Santana Li is the chief executive officer of Knightscope. He says，"These robot security guards will change the world. Our planet has more than seven billion people on it. It's going to quickly get to nine billion people. The security equipmentthat we have globally is just not going to develop that fast. The company's Autonomous Data Machines can become the eyes and ears of law enforcement（执法）.""You want them to be machines plus humans. Let. the machines do the heavy and sometimes dangerous work and let the humans do the strategic decision-making work，so it's always working all together."The machines do not carry weapons but they have day and night video cameras which are able to turn 360 degrees and can also sense chemical and biological weapons.Some people may become concerned about their privacy, especially in connection with the video recordings. Some people may worry that such recordings will appear on the Internet. Eugene Volokh, a law professor at the UCLA School of Law, says the machines have to be used in the right way and it will be interesting to see how state laws deal with this kind of video.William Santana Li says there is a long waiting list for the robots in theUS. Workers in the company are working overtime to meet the demands of the market. At least 25 other countries are also interested in these robot security guards.1.

Security Robots Could Help Cut CrimeBRichard Campbell is a secondary school student. He is15 years old. He lives in a small town in the north ofEngland. Every morning, he gets up at eight o’clock, puts on his uniform and walks to school.One hour later, the lessons start. The students usually study maths, English, history and geography in the morning. They usually study music and drawing and they play sports after lunch. They have a ten-minute break between classes. They also spend a long time in the school library, reading books and doing their homework.Richard likes his school very much. His favourite subjects are English and geography, but he doesn’t like maths because he is not good at it.Richard and all his friends spend the whole day at school. Lunch is at one o’clock. He doesn’t like the food that the school serves. This is why he often brings a packed lunch from home. He always has his lunch in the dining hall, but some of his friends sometimes eat in the courtyard or outside the school gate.At weekends, he always goes out with his friends because he doesn’t go to school. On Saturday, he always goes to the cinema or to the sports centre. On Sunday, he just goes for a walk with his dog.4. What time do Richard’s lessons begin in the morning?A. At 8:00.B. At 8:30.C. At 9:00.D. At 9:10.5. What does Richard like best?A. Maths and English.B. English and geography.C. History and maths.D. Geography and history.6. Where does Richard have lunch on weekdays?A.

He walks his dog or does exercise.D. He spends a long time in the library.CIf you struggle to fall asleep quickly, you’re not alone! Fortunately, thereare plenty of solutions you can try. With a few changes, you can fall asleep fast every night!Keep your room dark. Turn off all the lights above your head when you go to bed. Any bright light can make you believe it is too early in the day for sleep. If you want to read or write before bed, try using a small book light. Now that blue lights can keep you awake, red ones are a great choice.If you can, keep noise in and around your room the lowest at night. If you have an old clock that ticks loudly and keeps you awake, replace it with a silent one. If you share your home with anyone else, request that they keep noises like talking, music, or TV shows at the lowest while you are trying to sleep. It is difficult to fall asleep if you live near a busy road or hear other boring sounds after bedtime. You could get a white noise machine or play recordings of nature sounds, like waves or whales’ singing. You could also listen to soft, relaxing music.Read a book in bed if you have difficulty in falling asleep. Staying in bed doing nothing when you’re having trouble falling asleep may keep you wide awake. While reading in bed may be slightly harmful to your eyes, it can distract (分散) you from your thoughts and help you feel sleepy. But remember to read from a print book rather than something with a screen. The light from electronic screens can keep you awake.Lowering your body temperature helps you sleep, so set the room temperature between 15.5℃-21℃could do the trick.8. What color1 book light should you choose toread before bed?A. Red.B. Blue.C. White.D. Orange.9. What is the author’s attitude towards reading in bed?A. Doubtful.B. Worried.C. Favorable.D. Uncaring.10. What can we inferred from the text?A. Reading on cellphones sometimes helps you fall asleep.B. The lower your temperature while sleeping is, the better.C. Bright lights are better for your reading before going to bed.D. Playing recordings like birds’ singing can improve your sleep.11. How does the author organize the text?A. By givingexamples.B. By asking questions.C. By offering suggestions.D. By listing research results.DIt's a popular belief that a fish's memory lasts for only seven seconds. It may seem sad to think that they don't remember what they've eaten or where they’ve been, and they don't identify you or any of their friends--every moment intheir life would be like seeing the world for the first time.But don't be so quick to feel sorry for them. A new study has found that fish have a much better memory than we used to think. In fact, certain species of fish can even remember events from as long as 12 days ago. In the study, researchers from Mac Ewan University in Canada trained a kind of fish called African cichlids to go to a certain area of their tank to get food.They then waited for 12 days before putting them back in the tank again. Researchers used computer software to monitor the fish’s movements.They found that after such a long break the fish still went to the same place where they first got food. This suggested that they could remember their past experiences.In fact. scientists had been thinking for a long time that African cichlids might have a good memory. An earlier study showed that they behaved aggressively(挑衅地) in front of certain fish, perhaps because they remembered their past "fights".But until the latest findings, there was no clear evidence.Just as a good memory can make our lives easier, it also plays an important part when a fish is trying to survivein the wild. "If fish are able to remember that a certain area contains safe food, they will be able to go back to that area without putting their lives at risk,"lead researcher Trevor Hamilton told Live Science.For a long time, fish were placed far below chimpanzees, dolphins and mice on the list of smart animals.But this study has given scientists a new understanding of their intelligence.12. According to the text, people commonly believe that ______.A. fish don't recognize any of their friendsB. a fish's memory lasts for only seven minutesC. fish can only remember part of their past experiencesD. fish can remember things that happened long ago13. How can fish benefit most from a good memory?A. They can remember their enemies and fight.B. They can remember where to get food and survive.C. They can remember their friends and help each other.D. They can remember where to go when in danger.14. What can we learn from the text?A. Only African cichlids have a good memory.B. African cichlids can remember things for 12 days.C. African cichlids always treat other fish aggressively.D. African cichlids don't belong to the list of smart animals.15. What is the text mainly about?A. What we can learn from fish.B. Fish having a very bad memory.C. How fish improve their memory.D. Fish being smarter than we thought.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学年广西南宁三中高二(下)月考英语试卷(三)(附答案详解)

2020-2021学年广西南宁三中高二（下）月考英语试卷（三）ANational Geographic Nights Every month National Geographic opens its doors for a night of fun and exploration.These special monthly happy hours feature live stories from National Geographic Explorers,fun activities,lively music,food,and drink specials at our cash bar.Your ticket includes free admission to the National Geographic Museum,starting from the day of the event and expiring （终止）at the end of that month.Monthly on the third Thursday5：30 PM- 8：00 PMView From AboveSometimes,a little distance is all you need to see things in a brand-new way.For astronaut Terry Virts,his new found perspective （视角）was from the International Space Station.He took more photographs than any astronaut who had come before him.Many of those images were later used to create the National Geographic book View From Above and IMAX film A Beautiful Planet.November 147：30 PM - 9：00 PM﹩25.00Adventures Among Orangutans （猩猩）Animals fond of being alone often live in hard-to-reach places.Orangutans are one of the most difficult large land animals to study.Since 1992，biological anthropologist Cheryl Knott and wildlife photojournalist Tim Laman have been using innovative techniques and new technologies to gain a closer look at this intelligent,resourceful and threatened species,giving us deep understanding of not only their world,but also our e to listen to their speech! December 710：00 AM- 11：30 AM﹩5.00Mountainfilm On TourMountainfilm On Tour returns to D.C.!Over two unique evenings,enjoy a rich selection of films from this year's festival in Telluride,CO.Started in 1979，Mountainfilm is one ofAmerica's longest-running film festivals.Through the years,in and out of trends,the festival has always been best described by one unchanging word：inspiring.Far more than any other adjective,that's how audiences describe their experience.November 3 - November 47：30 PM - 10：30 PM﹩25.001.What's special about National Geographic Nights？______A. The activity lasts a whole night.B. Free food and drinks are available.C. We can visit the museum for free.D. The celebrations take place every night.2.Which word can best describe Cheryl Knott and Tim Laman's job？______A. Popular.B. Common.C. Simple.D. Challenging.3.Which is the best choice when we feel down？______A. View From Above.B. Mountainfilm On Tour.C. National Geographic Nights.D. Adventures Among Orangutans.BHeightened anxiety affects a person's world,including his or her senses.Symptoms such as paralysis,numbness,or blindness which are not connected to a medical cause and are often traced to a psychological problem,are frequently termed conversion disorders （转换障碍）.I once met a client affected by blindness.Russ,a successful 66-year-old man,described visiting the local zoo with his wife and grandchildren when anxiety washed over him.His vision narrowed. "It felt like clouds were closing in on my eyes," Russ said.Russ's sight continued to narrow until he was almost completely visionless.The experience occurred several times and eventually,Russ refused to leave his home.His medical doctor conducted numerous tests,but a medical explanation could not be identified. As I gathered information about Russ's life,it became clear that he was experiencing difficulty adjusting to an enormous life change - retirement.Yet,though most people look forward to retirement and regard it as a positive and well-deserved change,it was tough for him to admit he missed the important and respectable role he had performed so well.For forty years he had worked tirelessly to solidify the success of his company,so giving up "the mission" left himfeeling empty and anxious.Russ then shared his internal struggle with his wife,Mary.She supported him in developing new ways to fill himself up,such as caring for his grandchildren and contributing to several community architectural projects.He successfully re-consolidated his sense of self later.It is normal and human to feel anxiety during the adjustment period.Bringing unconscious anxieties and conflicts into conscious awareness prevents the anxiety from taking over.And talking to a loved one or getting support from a psychotherapist is also necessary.4.What trouble did Russ meet with while visiting the local zoo？______A. Missing the visiting time.B. Getting separated from his wife.C. Losing his sight for the moment.D. Having his eyes blocked by clouds.5.According to the author what is the root cause of Russ's trouble？______A. Losing the essential role.B. Having nobody to talk with.C. Being ignored by his colleagues.D. Looking forward to early retirement.6.In what way did Russ overcome his problem？______A. By enriching his new life.B. By starting a new company.C. By seeing the doctor regularly.D. By moving to a new community.7.What can be drawn from this text？______A. Heightened anxiety is easy to deal with.B. Rebuilding one's confidence takes patience.C. One's attitude adjustment matters when facing significant transition.D. Increasing conscious awareness helps one fit in with the new life.CAnts have the almost unique ability among animals to switch between individual and collective （集体的）action,according to new research which uncovers the mystery behind their impressive teamwork.The insects are able to transport objects such as food that are much larger than themselves bynaturally understanding when to be part of the collective muscle and when to play an individual "scouting（侦察）" role for the group,researchers found.Experiments using the breakfast cereal showed how groups of a dozen or more ants working together could transport much bigger items by pushing in the same direction.But more importantly,when the group moves off course or heads for trouble,the ant who first realizes the problem transforms into a highly individualistic leader.This ant signals the need for a direction change by pulling at a different angle - and her colleagues instantly accept the decision and follow suit."The individual ant has the idea of how to pass a thing that blocks their way but lacks the muscle power to move the load.The group is there to promote the leader's strength so that she can actually carry out her idea," said Ofer Feinermann,the study's lead author.But the lead ant will only carry the baton for a short period,typically shouting to others for 10 to 20 seconds,by which point another ant has become best placed to make leadership decisions. "As far as we can tell the scout is no different to the other ants,such as in creativity.No one designates（指派）her as the leader,and she designates herself because she has current knowledge about the correct direction," he added.Ants are among the very few creatures,besides humans,that can collectively carry loads far heavier than an individual member of their creatures.The study by the Weizmann Institute of Science in Israel was published in the journal Nature Communications.8.What does the new research mainly tell us？______A. Ants usually work together to look for food.B. Ants usually turn to others for help when finding food.C. Ants are good at delivering food larger than themselves.D. Ants are able to work both individually and collectively.9.When moving the load, ______ .A. the scout usually works individuallyB. ants work together towards the same directionC. every ant wants to play a role of the leaderD. ants elect a leader through a discussion10.What does the underlined part "carry the baton" in Paragraph 6 mean？______A. Act as a leader.B. Win the respect.C. Work very hard.D. Lose heart.11.According to this passage,the leader of an ant group must have ______ .A. a good sense of directionB. the strongest bodyC. the great creativityD. a good reputationDThe company SpaceX has already launched hundreds of its Star-link satellites,with plans to put as many as 42，000 of them in Earth orbit.Its goal is to provide high-speed Internet to billions of people.Moving toward that kind of access is important,but it comes at a cost.Glittering with reflected sunlight,these first satellites,sent up in the past year,are brighter than 99 percent of the 5，000 or so other satellites now circling Earth,and obviously there are going to be a lot more.This sudden increase is bad for astronomy：the probability of a Star-link satellite crossing a telescope's field of view and ruining an observation will be quite high near sunset.For that reason,my fellow astronomers have signed a petition （请愿书）calling for governments to protect the night sky from this invasion （侵入）.In response to protests,SpaceX has promised to address the visibility problem by,for example,applying experimental coatings - essentially painting the satellites black - but the company's aggressive launch schedule remains unchanged.And the satellites' illuminated （被照亮）surfaces are mostly their solar panels - exactly the part that cannot be painted over. Unfortunately,at present no regulations govern how bright a single satellite can be,let alone thousands of them together.Even if there were such regulations,one nation's laws can not hinder （阻碍）another country's launches.Space literally has no borders,and the sky will need to be protected at an international level.As a consequence,we hope that the United Nations will find a way to think outside of the box to save the sky for everyone.When I was growing up in Montana,it was a game to be the first to find a moving satellite among the host of stars in the night sky.Soon it could be a game to recognize the constellations （星座）behind a swarm of moving points of light.12.What is the writer's attitude toward Space X's launching plans？______A. Indifferent.B. Doubtful.C. Optimistic.D. Disapproving.13.Why have my fellow astronomers signed the petition？______A. SpaceX plans to send too many Star-link satellites into space.B. The Star-link satellites will possibly ruin an observation near sunset.C. The first satellites are brighter than some of other satellites circling Earth.D. Space X fails to provide high-speed Internet to people around the world.14.According to the author,who should shoulder the responsibility to save the sky？______A. The United States.B. The United Nations.C. The company SpaceX.D. Just one nation.15.What can be a suitable title for the text？______A. Preserve the Night SkyB. Ban Star-link SatellitesC. Observe the Stars AttentivelyD. Protest against SpaceXEvery animal sleeps,but the reason for this has remained foggy.When lab rats are not allowed to sleep,they die within a month. (1)One idea is that sleep helps us strengthen new memories. (2) We know that,while awake,fresh memories are recorded by reinforcing （加强）connections between brain cells,but the memory processes that take place while we sleep have been unclear.Support is growing for a theory that sleep evolved so that connections between neurons（神经元）in the brain can be weakened overnight,making room for fresh memories to form the next day. (3)Now we have the most direct evidence yet that he is right. (4) The synapses in the mice taken at the end of a period of sleep were 18 percent smaller than those taken before sleep,showing that the connections between neurons weaken while sleeping.If Tononi's theory is right,it would explain why,when we miss a night's sleep,we find it harder the next day to concentrate and learn new information - our brains may have smaller room for new experiences.Their research also suggests how we may build lasting memories over time even though the synapses become thinner.The team discovered that some synapses seem to be protected and stayed the same size. (5) "You keep what matters," Tononi says.A.We should also try to sleep well the night before.B.It's as if the brain is preserving its most important memories.C.Similarly,when people go for a few days without sleeping,they get sick.D.The processes take place to stop our brains becoming loaded with memories.E.That's why students do better in tests if they get a chance to sleep after learning.F. "Sleep is the price we pay for learning," says Giulio Tononi,who developed the idea.G.Tononi's team measured the size of these connections,or synapses,in the brains of 12 mice.16. A. A B. B C. C D. D E.E F.F G. G17. A. A B. B C. C D. D E.E F.F G. G18. A. A B. B C. C D. D E.E F.F G. G19. A. A B. B C. C D. D E.E F.F G. G20. A. A B. B C. C D. D E.E F.F G. GExperts say boredom is good for kids.It forces them to be creative,(21)their imaginations and helps them discover new things.A（n）(22)in point is 13-year-old Luke Hill from Dubuque,Iowa. Luke was(23)of playing video games and riding his bike,so he decided to build a tiny house in his backyard instead.He made money from cutting lawns and(24)exchanged some services,such as sweeping his garage(25)the help of an electrical engineer.Luke also(26)spare materials from his grandmother's house and other(27)materials from his neighbors for some of the windows and the door.The 89-square-foot home cost ﹩1，500 to build and(28)eighteen months.Inside there's a kitchenette,a back sitting room,a table and a mounted（安装好的）TV，and an upstairs bedroom can be easily(29)by stairway.Although Luke did the(30)and learned how to do all the work,he had his father's(31)throughout the project.Greg Hill was very happy that his son learned to stay on (32)and deal with grown-ups.(33)，he had some simple rules when Luke(34)the house："You(35)the money.You build it.And you own it."Luke is now in love with(36).He has a YouTube channel and hopes to(37)other kids to start building.(38)，he wants to build a bigger tiny house to live in.But for now,he(39)in his new home a few nights a week,does homework there,and uses it to take a(40)from his twin brother.21.

In addition, the single adults with dogs were 36 percent less likely to die from heart disease.“Dog ownership was especiallyprominentas a protective factor in persons living alone, which is a group reported previously to be at higher risk of heart disease and death than those living in a multi-person household,” Mwenya Mubanga, a Ph.D. student at Uppsala University in Uppsala, Sweden, and the lead junior author of the study, said in a statement announcing its findings. The link between dog ownership and lower mortality(死亡率)was less pronounced in adults who lived either with family members or partners, but still present, according to the study. “Perhaps a dog may stand in as an important family member in the single households,” Mubanga added. “Another interesting findingwas that owners of dogs which were intended originally for hunting were most protected.”The study, which is the largest to date on the health relations of owning a dog, suggested that some of the reasons dog owners may have a lower risk of mortality and heart disease were because dog owners walk more. “These kind of epidemiological (流行病学的)studies look for associations in large populations but do not provide answers on whether and how dogs could protect their owners from heart disease,” Tove Fall, a senior author ofthe study and a professor at Uppsala University, said in a statement“We know that dog owners in general have a higher level of physical activity, which could be one explanation to the observed results,” Fall added. “Other explanations include an increased well-being and social contacts or effects of the dog on the bacterial microbiome(微生物菌群) in the owner.” Fall added that because all participants of dog owners in Sweden or other “European populations with similar culture regarding dog ownership.”4.

At the click of a keyboard) you could enter an overall view but private visual salon, without having to brave the airless Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre.There, on one webpage, was Jeff Koons riffing(翻唱)on Botticelli's "Primavera" in a tribute to the history of painting at David Zwirner Gallery. Ota Fine Arts offered one collector the chance to acquire an "infinity(无限)room“, one of the most Instagrammed artworks of recent years- the creation of the fantasies,nonagenarian (九十多岁) Japanese artist, Yayoi Kusama. White Cube presented a large collection of international works by Andreas Gursky (German), Theaster Gates (American) and Beatriz Milhazes (Brazilian). But not every artist, gallery and form showed to equal advantage in this alternative fair. Not surprisingly, simple two-dimensional works in bright colours came across best No sculpture or conceptual art was includedBesides depth and texture, there are aspects of gallery hopping that a website is unlikely to copy. One isserendipity—the sense of wandering between artworks and encountering the unexpected. Another is sociability. Art is a communion between artist and viewer, but galleries and fairs are also places to swap opinions and share enthusiasms.Thereare ways to compensate (or these inevitable(不可避免的)disadvantages. As they shut their physical doors, some of the world's nest galleries and museums are offering advanced interactive visits, 360 degree videos and walk around tours of their collections, allwithout queues and high ticket prices. One of the best is laid on by the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam；its tour allows visitors to view its Vermeers and Rembrandts, including the magnicent "Night Watch”, far more closely than would normally he possible. Another standout offering is from the Museu de Arte de SPaulo, which has an even broader collection. On its virtual platform, its pain tings, spanning 700 years, appear to be hanging in an open-plan space, seemingly hung on glass panels, or "crystal easels” as the. museum calls them, ideal for close-up inspection,8.

Art beyond the internet.B. Fascinating art.C. Art under covid-19.D. gallery hoppingDBlood donations save lives. But blood can only be stored by freezing for up to six weeks. “Because of that limitation, people have to continually donate blood to meet the needs. But also, in places where freezing may not be available, that can also be a challenge. It’s difficult to have blood available when needed.”“Thedisruptionsto regular blood donations due to COVID-19 have put stress on the blood supply, and the pandemic emphasizes the need for more reliable long-term storage methods.” UniversityofLouisvillebioengineer Jonathan Kopechek said.Kopechek’s team has developeda method of preserving blood so it can be stored in a dehydrated state at room temperature. They turned to an unusual preservative: a sugar called trehalose（海藻糖）, which is a common ingredient in donuts... to help make them look fresh even when they mightbe months old, and you wouldn’t know the difference.The researchers chose trehalose because, in nature, it’s made by hardy animals like tardigrades and sea monkeys—aka brine shrimp—famous for their ability to survive dehydration.So these animals can dry out completely for a long period of time and then be rehydrated and resume normal function. First, the researchers had to get trehalose into blood cells. They used ultrasound（超声波）to drill temporary holes in the cell membranes—which let some trehalose get in. And they need to have sufficient levels of trehalose on both the inside and the outside of the cell in order to survive the dehydration and rehydration process. At that point, the blood could be dried and made into a powder. And then we can rehydrate the blood and have it return back to normal.“The technique could be ready for clinical test in three to five years. If successful, it could be used to create stores of dried blood in case of future pandemics or natural disasters. Maybe medicine bag on the Red Planet will include dried red blood cells.” Kopechek said.12. Why do people have to continually donate blood to meet the needs?A. Because blood donations aren’t popular.B. Because the blood needs can’t be met.C. Because blood storage by freezing has time limit.D. Because blood freezing is a challenge in many places.13. What does the underlined word “disruptions” in paragraph 2 mean?A. pauseB. damageC. endD. distribution14. According to the research of Kopechek’s team, what can we learn about?A. Blood can be preserved in a dehydrated state by freezing.B. Trehalose is only made by hardy animals like tardigrades.C. Trehalose can help make donuts look fresh for a long time.D. The technique of blood dehydration has been applied in clinical test.15. How did trehalose get into blood cell?A. By the process of dehydration and rehydration.B. By being dried and made into a power.C. By rehydrating the blood returning back to normal.D. By the temporary holes drilled by ultrasound.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届南宁市第三中学高三英语月考试题及答案

2020届南宁市第三中学高三英语月考试题及答案第一部分阅读（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AIf you truly want to live, you need to get out and see the world. Traveling and living different adventures may become your favorite lifestyle. Here is a brief introduction about the top three destinations to visit in the world. ParisFirst on the list is Paris, France. For some people, this shouldn’t be a surprise. For others, they might consider Paris overrated as it has a reputation for being dirty. Any major city in the world might be thought to be dirty by anyone not living in a city. It comes with the territory. The reason Paris is at the top of this list is not because of its famous attractions but because of its charm. You can spend the day walking around cobblestone streets and enjoy elegant cafes and high-end shopping. When you finish satisfying your appetite, you can relax on the banks of the Seine River.Glacier National ParkGlacier National Park comes in second on the list. It is located in Montana, America. It will be well worth the effort thanks to snow-capped mountains, crystal blue lakes, seventy miles of hiking trails, and thirteen camping areas. If you visit during the summer, you can go swimming or white-water rafting. If you visit during the winter, you can go skiing or snowshoeing. But the real allure (诱惑力) and what you will always remember is the breathtaking scenery and fresh mountain air.Bora BoraThe reason Bora Bora is the third on this list is that it’s expensive, which could limit your other travel plans. If you do make it to this small island paradise, you will find peaceful beaches, jungles, luxury accommodations, turquoise water, and some of the friendliest people you have ever met.Other vacation destinations that should be on your list if you’re living the adventurous lifestyle include London, the South Island of New Zealand, Maui, Tahiti, Tokyo, Barcelona and New York City.1. Tourists can ______ to appreciate the charm of Paris.A. enjoy crystal blue lakesB. visit its famous attractionsC. take a walk around cobblestone streetsD. meet the friendliest people you have ever met2. Which of the following points in Glacier National Park will really attract tourists?A. peaceful beaches.B. White-water rafting.C. Snow-capped mountains.D. Fresh mountain air.3. What’s the purpose of this passage?A. to introduce the top three destinations.B. to compare the top three destinations.C. to encourage people to live an adventurous lifestyle.D. to analyze the good and bad points of the three destinationsBGuangzhououtbreak linked to strains inIndiaThe gene sequencing of the COVID-19 outbreak inGuangzhou.Guangdongprovince, indicates it is very similar in structure to the mutatedstrains detected inIndia, a senior health official from the city said on Sunday.“And it has the characteristic of quick spread.” Chen Bin, deputy director of the city's health commission, said at a news conference inGuangzhouon Sunday.She urged relevant departments and medical staff to act quickly to block the chain of infection and control the spread of the coronavirus in the southern metropolis.Zhang Zhoubin, deputy director of theGuangzhoucenter for disease control and prevention, said the strain of coronavirus spreads easily.“The virus can be spread through a meal or through a short period of indirect contact,” he said.The city reported five confirmed eases and 21 asymptomatic carriers as of 2 pm Sunday after the first con finned case was detected in the city's Liwan district on May 21, Chen said.To prevent the virus from spreading, the city government tightened its disease control and prevention measures over the weekend. Six communities and housing estates previously designated as low-risk areas were raised to medium-risk ones, Chen said.In addition to asking local residents to get vaccinated, the city has organized nucleic acid testing in Haizhu and Yuexiu districts starting from Sunday. Residents in specific areas of Tianhe, Baiyun and Panyu districts have also been required to take nucleic acid tests to expand the screening of suspected patients and asymptomatic carriers.Liwan previously required all its residents to take nucleic acid tests.As of Saturday, more than 2-25 million residents of the city have had samples collected for nucleic acid tests, Chen said. More than 10,000 medical workers from the entire city have been sent to Liwan to help vaccinate locals against COVID-19 and collect samples for nucleic acid testing.Deng Wenjun, director of circulation section with Guangzhou Supply and Marketing Cooperative, said there are sufficient supplies of food and daily necessities in the medium-risk areas.4.

Where can you probably find this article?A. On a news website.B. In a fashion magazine.C. In a history book.D. In a travel journal.CAn anti-obesity program for Australian girls didn’t lead to any improvements in their diet, physical activities or body weight a year later, according to a new report.Findings from the school-based intervention (介入), which involved exercise sessions and nutrition workshops for lower-income girls, are the latest disappointment in a lot of research attempting tohead offadult obesity and the disease risks that come with it.Especially during the middle-and high-school years, girls’ physical activity reduces obviously, according to lead researcher David Lubans, from theUniversityofNewcastleinNew South Wales,Australia. He said, “In the future we need to make the programs more interesting and exciting and present information in a way that is meaningful to adolescent girl.”Lubans and his workmates conducted their study in 12 schools in low-income areas ofNew South Wales. Atthe start of the study, girls in both groups weighed an average of close to 130pounds, with about four in ten considered overweight. Over the next year, adolescents in the intervention group were given pedometers (计步器) to encourage walking and running and invited to nutrition workshops and regular exercise sessions during the schoolday and at lunchtime. Participation in some of those activities were less than ideal. For example, the girls went to only one-quarter of lunchtime exercise sessions, and less than one in ten completed at-home physical activity or nutrition challenges, the researchers reported. At the end of the year, girls in both groups had gained a similar amount of weight and there was no difference in their average body fat.Preventive medicine researcher Robert Klesges said that although some anti-obesity programs have helped adults lose weight, the teen population has always been a source of failure for researchers. “The common belief is: nothing works,” he said. “And we have got to get beyond that.”“We need to think outside the box,” said Klesges, who wasn’t involved in the new study. “That could include learning from what has worked in adult studies, such as giving meal replacement drinks or prepared foods to teens who have trouble making changes to their diet. Or, it could mean using a “step-care” method — rather than researchers or their doctor telling them to keep doing the same thing.” Klesges said.8. The underlined words “head off” in Paragraph 2 can best be replaced by “________”.A. damageB. defendC. preventD. affect9. The methods used in the program to stop obesity don’t include ________.A. walking and runningB. inviting them to nutrition workshopsC. joining exercise sessions regularlyD. giving meal replacement drinks10. The main reason for the failure of the anti-obesity program is probably that ________.A. the participants didn’t take an active part in itB. the program was not interesting and exciting to participantsC. the participants didn’t get extra nutrition or exercise helpD. the program didn’t pay attention to healthy exercise11. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A. As researchers, it is important to have creative research methods.B. Researchers need to give meals or prepare foods to participants.C. Teen girls have no difficulty in making changes to their diet.D. Some ant-obesity programs have not helped adults lose weight.DIn 2002, young Elon Musk tried unsuccessfully to buy Russian rockets to help him send mice to Mars and back. Afterwards, the youngmillionaire decided to build his own rockets.Musk went to Southern California and started hiring people to help bring his dream to life. In a very short time, and despite some failures, his company SpaceX launched Falcon 1, the first successful privately-built liquid fuel rocket, into Earth's orbit in 2008.As the first Falcon rocket began testing, development was already underway for the Falcon 9. This much larger rocket, which uses nine engines to lift heavy payloads（有效载荷）into orbit, is engineered to return to Earth, ready to be reused for another flight.For Musk, space is the final destination. To help people get there, his company Neuralink is developing devices that will link people's brains with computers. A similar device has been developed at the University of Utah. It consists of a chip（芯片）with 256 threads（线程）that is placed between a person's skin and brain. The threads attach directly to brain tissue（脑组织）.Patients who have the device are able to use only their minds to communicate with one another through computers.Neuralink's chips will have about 1,000 threads. A robot developed by the company will place up to ten chips under a person's skin. The chips will communicate without wires but with a tiny device that will be worn behind the person's ear. That device, in turn, will communicate with computers. The primary market for the technology will be for people that, because of injuries or birth defects, cannot control their hands and arms. With Neuralink^ product, they'll be able to mentally command a computer to type messages for them or carry out other tasks.12. According to this article, what was the first Falcon 1 able to do?A. Launch big satellites.B. Reach distant moons.C. Move around our planet.D. Study the universe.13. What does the article explain about Neuralink's chips?A. How they'll be set up.B. What safety features they'll have.C. How much money they'll earn.D. Where they'll be produced.14. According to this article, who is Neuralink going to market its product to first?A. Those who own great wealth.B. Those who are physically disabled.C. Those who travel internationally.D. Those who do research on plants.15. In which publication is this article most likely to appear?A. The Journal of Environmental Studies.B. Advances in Business and Technology.C. Digest of Fashion and Entertainment News,D. Consumer's Guide to Outdoor Recreation.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。

From its first application, the word has been definitely connected more with women than with men It first appeared in 1882, according to the Oxford English Dictionary, mentioning "a lady manager who was extremely bossy . As late as 2008, the word appeared in reference to females four times more often than males, claim the Ban Bossy campaigners. "To me, the reference is always in association with women," says Helen Trim, director of Fresh Minds. "I have three brothers and my family still call me 'bossy' today. " Her father is the only other family member who could be considered in that way, says Trim, but nobody would ever call him so.Some educators recommend that the word should be reclaimed, rather than banned."But the thing with 'bossy' is that there-s an infantile(幼稚的) element to it, says Sara Mills,professor at Sheffield University. "You think of ' bossy 'as being like a little kid who's claiming more than he has the right to claim. "It's not just "bossy" under fire. "Pushy" is another target. The implication is that women shouldn't present themselves as powerful and confident, Mills suggests, which some women are willing to listen to and accept. Trim points out that many modern female business role models are able to be bosses without being labeled 'bossy'. And she rarely, if ever, hears the word used within her company. But she says that the damage may be done much earlier in a woman's life. "It does come about from those early teenage years. "she say s. "I think it’s impossible to ban a word, but if people are replacing it with words like 'confidence' or assertiveness', we would all be in a much better place. "4．More evidence is provided to show "bossy" is more applied to females by_ .A．the Oxford English DictionaryB．the Ban Bossy campaignersC．Helen Trim at Fresh MindsD．some experts in education5．Trim's family still consider her bossy because .A．she is expected to lead in her familyB．she is the boss of her companyC．she is a powerful and confident femaleD．her father considers her that way6．The underlined part "under firemost probably means .A．definitely replacedB．strongly criticizedC．improperly appliedD．eagerly expected7．How does the author sound when referring to the campaign against "bossy"? A．Objective. B．Angry.C．Doubtful D．Optimistic.Increasing numbers of airports, especially in Europe, are promoting a “silent airport” idea. It is to reduce noise pollution, such as airport-wide announcements, without sacrificing timely and helpful updates of information.International airports were once characterized by their high voices, competing gate announcements and so on. This is all changing. Angela Gittens, director general of Airports Council International (ACI), says there is a growing desire among airports and airlines they serve to create a calm, relaxed atmosphere without being disturbed by announcements. “Passengers can relax while they wait for their flight to board in the common airside lounges(休闲区), and food and drink areas,” she says.In June, Helsinki Airport in Finland—a country where the tourism slogan(口号) is “silence, please”—became the most recent airport to adopt the silent concept. As part of its commitment to quieting things down, announcements for flights are made only in boarding gate areas.Lost track of time in the shops?Too bad.Nobody’s going to call you to your flight, as announcements in all terminals will be made only in exceptional（尤其）emergency circumstances.Heikki Koski, vice president of Helsinki Airport, says that improved flight information display system and interactive kiosks(交互式自助服务机), together with advances in mobile technology, are changing the way airports communicate with passengers. At Munich airport, InfoGate kiosks allow for video-based face-to-face conversation with a live customer service representative in the traveler’s language of choice. Interactive signs, on the other hand, give directions at the touch of finger.

Fish is loaded with omega-3 fatty acids--a kind of fat that caries numerous health benefits. “Neurons(神经元)need omega-3 fatty acids for proper cell membrane(膜)structure and function,” explains Don Vaughn, MD, a neuroscientist at UCLA, of the importance of a fish-inclusive diet. “It th en comes as no surprise that the dietary insufficiency of omega-3 fatty acids leads to poor cognition.”While previous studies showed a relationship between omega-3 consumption and improved intelligence, none established a link among improved sleep, intelligence, and fish consumption. The new study covered 541 children in China, almost evenly split between boys and girls. The researchers tracked, fish consumption along with the kids’ performance on both verbal(口头的)and non-verbal skill tests such as vocabulary and coding. Parents helped record how well the kids slept. After all the data was collected and analyzed, the researchers found that children who were reported eating fish at least weekly slept sounder and scored 4.8 points higher on their IQ exams than those who were reported eating fish “seldom” or “never”.Previous studies showed a relationship between omega-3s, the fatty acids in many types of fish, and improved intelligence, as well as omega-3s and better sleep. But the new findings revealed sleep as a possible medium pathway, the potential missing link between fish and intelligence.“Sleep is essential to brain health and function. The brain strengthens important memories, forgets useless information, and continues practicing skills learned during t he day,” saysDr.Vaughn. “Good sleep underlies high performance in memory and problem solving.”The researchers on the team also noted that poor sleep is often accompanied by antisocial behavior, poor cognition, and a variety of other problems, all of which could be lessened byincreasing the amount of fish or omega-3 fatty acids in their diet.12．What do we know about omega-3 fatty acids from Paragraph l?A．Their main source is fish. B．They lead to poor cognition.C．They work positively on neurons. D．Their health benefits remain a mystery. 13．Compared with the previous ones, the new study first_________.A．built a link between omega-3s and sleepB．showed a relationship between omega-3s and healthC．connected omega-3 consumption and improved intelligenceD．combined fish consumption, improved sleep and intelligence together14．The author writes Paragraph 4 to show_________.A．how the brain chooses useful informationB．why sleep is important to our mental healthC．why sleep has a positive effect on intelligenceD．how the brain strengthens important memories15．What is the main idea of the passage?A．Omega-3s can help improve sleep quality.B．Omega-3s are found to be beneficial to health.C．Consuming fish can benefit sleep and increase IQ.D．Consuming fish can give us a positive attitude to life.二、七选五Shopping therapy (疗法) is the practice of using the shopping experience to help overcome depression (沮丧) or other emotional problems. 16．Some experts think it happens as a result of deep- seeded human needs.Many people benefit from shopping therapy. One of the most obvious things is the enjoyment people get from the items they buy. 17．When people shop, they often buy things they really care about on some level. For example, when people come home with a new shirt or a new computer, they assume that the item is going to improve their lives in some way. This can help reduce many feelings of unhappiness.18．Some experts think humans are linked with the need to constantly achieve and fight for improvement. People make a decision to buy something, and then actually follow through this plan. This is one way people can take action to directly change their own lives.People who don't actually have any money to buy things still benefit from shopping therapy. For them, simply browsing (浏览) can be a nice experience.19．The simple act of leaving home and spending time around other humans is another possible reason for the effectiveness of shopping therapy.20．Many people even use shopping as a specific social activity by bringing people they care about along with them and turning the process into a pleasant activity.A．So shop until you start feeling better.B．That’ s because it helps them form future shopping plans.C．Many people shop for this reason without even realizing it.D．Other people have the feeling of achievement after shopping.E.Many people have gone into debt due to shopping therapy addiction.F.There is sometimes a sense of community in the shopping experience.G.Most people find joy in buying new things, no matter how small they may be.三、完形填空Getting out of my car one evening, I met my neighbor Theresa. “Mrs. Taylor is in 21 again,” she said.

We wanted to make people understand that dropping butts hurts the environment. Most smokers don’t think that dropping butts hurts the Earth.

Our class had planted a large garden in what was once only a vacant lot. It was a lot of work but it was all worth it. I got blisters(水泡) from digging, and we all got insect bites, too.I learned a lot about gardening and collaboration(合作), and then I learned about the media. Our teacher telephoned the TV station and informed them of what we had accomplished. She spoke with the producer. The producer checked with the directors, but they said there were plenty of stories similar to ours. They wanted to know what was special about our particular garden, since many schools plant them.The teacher explained that, after going on the Internet to learn about the prairie(大草原), we had made a prairie garden. We had gone to a prairie and gotten seeds from the plants, and then we planted them. We did not water the garden, but we did weed it. We decided to let nature water it with rain, since that was how prairies grew in the past. We sent a picture of the garden to the news station. In the picture, the grass was so high that it stood taller than the fourth grade students.As a result, the producer sent a reporter to our school. He interviewed the headmaster and asked him many questions about the garden. After that, they interviewed us, and we explained to them what we had learned through this project.That night, we watched the news, and there we were. The news reporter told our story. It was only two minutes long, but it was us. We were famous. All that work, all those blisters, it was worth it. We knewthatwhen we saw the garden every day, but now we knew that the whole city thought so, too.8. What seemed to be the TV directors’ initial reaction to the garden?A. They were excited.B. They were surprised.C. They were worried.D. They were uninterested.9. What is special about the garden?A. Weeds were allowed to spread naturally.B. The grass grew faster than common grass.C.

Our hard work was worthwhile.C. The garden would be famous.D. The project would be finished.11. How did the author feel about the project?A. Annoyed.B. Curious.C. Proud.D. Regretful.DAt the age of 50, Nina Schoen expects to have a long lifeahead of her, but has thought a lot about death—and why people are so reluctant to talk about it: “It’s going to happen to all of us,” she says, “but it should be a more positive experience than the fear we put into it.”When she first heard about a new end-of-life process that turns the body into compost (堆肥), “I was really moved by the idea,” says Schoen, who became one of the first to reserve a spot with a Seattle-based company called Recompose, the county’s first funeral home to offer human composting.Last year Recompose began transforming bodies to soil, more formally known as natural organic reduction. Before that, end-of-life options in the U.S. were limited to burial or cremation (火化), both of which come with environmental costs—U.S. cremations alone dump 1.7 billion pounds of carbon dioxide into theatmosphere every year.Katrina Spade pioneering the composting movement has spent a decade developing the process in hopes of offering people a greener option for death care. “I wondered, ‘What if we had a choice that helps the planet rather than harms it?’” Spade tells PEOPLE. “To know that the last gesture you’ll make will be gentle and beneficial and it just feels like the right thing to do.”After she had her own two sons, she began to wonder what she might do with her body after death. A friend who knew her interest in the topic reminded her that farmers sometimes compost the body of cows, and thatsparkedan idea for her theory: “If you can compost a cow, you can probably compost a human,” she thought, and she set about designing a facility to do just that.“This is about giving people another choice,” Spade says. “At first, people react with shock—‘You really can do that?’ But so many people today are looking at their impact on the Earth. This is a popular thing because when you die, you can give back to the planet.”12. How do people react when it comes to death according to paragraph 1?A. They are unwilling to comment.B. They can face it without fear.C. They feel it a positive experience.D. They would like to compost their bodies.13. What can we know about the company Recompose?A. Its CEO is Katrina Spade.B. It is located in Seattle.C. It was founded to resist cremation.D. It has spent 10 years composting bodies.14. What does the underlined word “sparked” probably mean?A. Changed.B. Compromised.C. Quitted.D. Inspired.15. What message does the author seem to convey in the text?A. A little things in our life can bring in big outcomes.B. We human beings should do all we can to help the earth.C. Composting is so popular that we should reserve a spot soon.D. We should reject burial because of its harm to environment.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

2020年南宁市第三中学高三英语月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AMany workers have had no choice but to adapt to working from home in recent months since offices shut down due to the COVID-19 pandemic (新冠疫情). And the noisy situation and endless housework may result in a terrible emotion. A new option is waiting foryou. That is WFH: work from a hotel.Hotel FigueroA special program titled Work Perks aims to reposition some of 94-year-old Hotel Figuero’s 268 rooms as day-use offices.According to Managing Director Connie Wang, the set-up launched in June and is a great opportunity to get out of their houses with high-speed Wi-Fi, unlimited printing privileges and free parking. The 350-square-foot rooms sell for $ 129 per day, with an option to extend to an overnight stay for an additional $ 20.The WytheA boutique hotel in Brooklyn. The hotel recently announced a partnership with co-working office space company Industrious through which it is recycling 13 second-story guest rooms to serve as offices for up to four people.Each of the rooms has a small outdoor platform, and dogs are welcome. Pricing starts at $ 200 and goes up to $ 275, depending on how many people use the space.The SawyerThe Sawyer, in Sacramento, California, is offering pool cabanas (更衣室) for use as outdoor offices, complete with fast Wi-Fi, free parking and catered lunch for $ 150 per day.HotelsByDayYannis Moati founded HotelsByDay back in 2015. That company has grown to include more than 1,500 hotels, and has seen a significant increase in the number of inquiries for day-use bookings lately.Moati said the current situation will force hotels to upgrade themselves to stay alive, and he predicted that offering rooms for day-use only is one of the directions they will go.1.How much should one pay for a 24-hour stay in Hotel Figuero?A.$ 129.B.$ 149.C.$ 150.D.$ 200.2.Which hotel allows pets in?A.The Wythe.B.The Sawyer.C.HotelsByDay.D.Hotel Figuero.3.What do we know about Yannis Moati?A.He started a program titledWork Perks.B.He has upgraded at least 1,500 rooms.C.He usually predicts everything correctly.D.He is optimistic about the WFH trend.BWhen John was growing up, other kids felt sorry for him. His parents always had him weeding the garden, carrying out the garbage and delivering newspapers. But when John reached adulthood，he wasbetter off than his childhood playmates. He had more job satisfaction, a better marriage and was healthier. Most of all, he was happier. Far happier.These are the findings of a 40-year study that followed the lives of 456 teenage boys fromBoston. The study showed that those who had worked as boys enjoyed happier and more productive lives than those who had not. “Boys who worked in the home or community gained competence（能力）and came to feel they were worthwhile members of society, ” said George Vaillant, the psychologist（心理学家）who made the discovery. “And because they felt good about themselves, others felt good about them.”Vaillant’s study followed these males in great detail. Interviews were repeated at ages 25, 31and 47. Under Vaillant, the researchers compared the men’s mental-health scores with their boyhood-activity scores. Points were awarded for part-time jobs, housework, effort in school, and ability to deal with problems.The link between what the men had done as boys and how they turned out as adults was surprisingly sharp. Those who had done the most boyhood activities were twice as likely to have warm relations with a wide variety of people, five times as likely to be well paid and 16 times less likely to have been unemployed. The researchers also found that IQ and family social and economic class made no real difference in how the boys turned out.Working—at any age—is important. Childhood activities help a child develop responsibility, independence, confidence and competence—the underpinnings（基础）of emotional health. They also help him understand that people must cooperate and work toward common goals. The most competent adults are those who know how to do this. Yet work isn't everything. As Tolstoy once said, “One can live magnificently in this world if one knows how to work and how to love, to work for the person one loves and to love one's work.”4. What do we know about John？A. He received little love from his family.B. He had few childhood playmates.C. He enjoyed his career and marriage.D. He was envied by others in his childhood.5. Vaillant’s words in Paragraph 2 serve as _______.A. a description of personal values and social valuesB. an analysis of how work was related to competenceC. an example for parents' expectations of their childrenD. an explanation why some boys grew into happy men6. Vaillant's team got their findings by _______.A. recording the boys' effort in schoolB. comparing different sets of scoresC. evaluating the men's mental healthD. measuring the men's problem solving ability7. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A. Competent adults know more about love than work.B. Emotional health is essential to a wonderful adult life.C. Love brings more joy to people than work does.D.Independenceis the key to one's success.CAdvertisers tend to think big and perhaps this is why they're always coming in for criticism. Their critics(批评家)seem to hate them because they have so much money to throw around. Why don’t they stop advertising and reduce the price of their goods? After all, it’s the consumer who pays.The poor old consumer! He'd have to pay a great deal more if advertising didn't create mass markets for products. It is precisely because of the heavy advertising that consumer goods are so cheap. But we get the wrong idea if we think the only purpose of advertising is to sell goods. Another equally important function is to inform. A great deal of the knowledge we have about household goods is largely from the advertisements we read. Advertisements introduce us to new products or remind us of the existence of ones we already know about. Supposing you wanted to buy a washing machine, it is more than likely you would obtain details regardingperformance, price, etc., from an advertisement.Lots of people pretend that they never read advertisements, but this claim may be seriously doubted. It is hardly possible not to read advertisements these days. And what fun they often are, too! Just think what a railway station or a newspaper would be like without advertisements. Would you enjoy gazing at a blank wall or reading railway byelaws while waiting for a train? A cheerful, witty advertisement makes such a difference to a dull wall or a newspaper full of the incidents and disasters.We must not forget, either, that advertising makes a positive contribution to our pockets. The fact that we pay so little for our daily paper, or can enjoy so many broadcast programmers is due entirely to the money spent by advertisers. Just think what a newspaper would cost if we had to pay its full price!Another thing we mustn't forget is the “small ads.” What a tremendously useful service they perform for the community! Just about anything can be accomplished through these columns. For instance, you can find a job, buy or sell a house, announce a birth, marriage or death in what used to be called the “hatch, match and dispatch” column(栏目) but by far the most fascinating section is the personal or “agony” column. No other item in a newspaper provides such entertaining reading or offers such a deep insight into human nature. It's the best advertisement for advertising there is!8. What is the main idea of this passage?A. Advertisements steal money from our pocketsB. The critics get the wrong idea of advertisements.C. Advertisers perform a useful service to communities.D. Advertisements are everywhere.9. What is the attitude of the author toward advertisements?A. He appreciates the role of advertisements.B. He doubts the effect of advertisements.C. He believes what is said in advertisements.D. He complains too many advertisements in daily life.10. Which of the following is Not True?A. The personal or “agony” column makes us know more about human nature.B. The only purpose of advertising is to sell goods.C. A newspaper will cost us more if there is no advertisement on it.D. Advertisement makes our life color1 ful.11. Whicof the following shows the structure of the passage?( ①=" Paragraph" 1, ②=" paragraph" 2, ③=" paragraph" 3, ④=" paragraph" 4 ⑤=" paragraph" 5)A B.C. D.DHave you ever thrown a camel? Camels are large and heavy animals so it would be hard to throw. But in the French-speaking Democratic Republic ofthe Congo, “to throw a camel” is a way of saying “to make a spelling mistake”.In the past, a phrase like that was not accepted by the French government as an official French term. But recently, the French Ministry of Culture worked on a new kind of dictionary that accepts the idea that many people outside of France speak the language. The language has changed over time and is different in places like Ivory Coast in West Africa or Quebec in Cana-da, compared to how it is in ParisA new online dictionary, called the French speakers’ dictionary, includes new French words from around the world. It was released on March 18—just in time for International French Speaker’s Day on March 20.Supporters say the new Internet dictionary is more democratic than earlier French dictionaries that only showed the way highly educated French people spoke. The new dictionary includes unofficial words like “pourriel”, which means an unwanted email if you are in Canada. It is a word based on “courriel”, which just means an email.French President Emmanuel Macron proposed the idea of the dictionary in 2018. It now contains about 600.000 terms, Roselyne Bachelot is the French Culture Minister. She said the dictionary is not just for France's 67 million citizens, but for the 300 million French speakers worldwide.The aim, supporters say, is to recognize the way language changes. Words and expressions included in the dictionary come from over 50 countries—even from the United States Some people in the southern U. S. state of Louisiana speak French.People can see the dictionary on a website or with an app. Users can also send in new words they think should be included. Official dictionaries produced by the French Academy in Paris were first published hundreds of years ago and are regularly updated.12. What do we mean if we say a man “throws a camel” in French?A. He talks big.B. He is very strong.C. He makes a joke.D. He misspells a word.13. What is the purpose of the publication date of the new online dictionary?A. To celebrate an event.B. To honor foreign users.C. To draw more attention.D. To meet an urgent need.14. Where does the word “pourriel” come from?A. French.B. An email.C. A holiday.D. Canada.15. What can people do with the new dictionary?A. Update it regularly.B. Recommend new words to it.C. Change the meaning of its words.D. Regard it as an official dictionary.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。

She even labeled(贴标签) everything. I always looked for everything. Over time, Kate got neater and I got messier. She would push my dirty clothing over, and I would lay my books on her tidy desk. We both got tired of each other.War broke out one evening. Kate came into the room. Soon, I heard her screaming, “Take your shoes away! Why under my bed!” Deafened, I saw my shoes flying at me. I jumped to my feet and started yelling. She yelled back louder.The room was filled with anger. We could not have stayed together for a single minute but for a phone call. Kate answered it. From her end of the conversation, I could tell right away her grandma was seriously ill. When she hung up, she quickly crawled(爬) under her covers, sobbing.Obviously, that was something she should not go through alone. All of a sudden, a warm feeling of sympathy rose up in my heart.Slowly, I collected the pencils, took back the books, made my bed, cleaned the socks and swept the floor, even on her side. I got so into my work that I even didn't notice Kate had sat up. She was watching, her tears dried and her expression one of disbelief. Then, she reached out her hands to grasp mine. I looked up into her eyes. She smiled at me, “Thanks.”Kate and I stayed roommates for the rest of the year. We didn’t always agree, but we learned the key to living together: giving in, cleaning up and holding on.24. What made Kate so angry one evening?A. She couldn’t find her books.B. She heard the author shouting loud.C. She got the news that her grandma was ill.D. She saw the author’s shoes beneath her bed.25. The author tidied up the room most probably because .A. she was scared by Kate’s angerB. she hated herself for being so messyC. she wanted to show her careD. she was asked by Kate to do so26. How is Paragraph l mainly developed?A. By analyzing causes.B. By showing differences.C. By describing a process.D. By following time order.27. What might be the best title for the story?A. My Friend KateB. Hard Work Pays OffC. How to Be OrganizedD. Learning to Be RoommatesCThe Pacific island nation of Nauru used to be a beautiful place. Now it is an ecological disaster area. Nauru’s heartbreaking story could have one good consequence---other countries might learn from its mistakes.For thousands of years, Polynesian people lived on the remote island of Nauru, far from western civilization. The first European to arrive was John Fearn in 1798. He was the Britishcaptain of the Hunter, a whaling ship. He called the island Pleasant Island.However, because it was very remote, Nauru had little communication with Europeans at first. Then whaling ships and other traders began to visit, bringing guns and alcohol. These elements destroyed the social balance of the twelve family groups on the island. A ten-year civil war started, which reduced the population from l, 400 to 900.Nauru’s real troubles began in 1899 when a British mining company discovered phosphate(磷酸盐) on the island. In fact, it found that the island of Nauru was nearly all phosphate, which is a very important fertilizer for farming. The company began mining the phosphate.A phosphate mine is not a hole in the ground; it is a strip mine(露天矿). When a company strip-mines, it removes the top layer of soil. Then it takes away the material it wants. Strip-mining totally destroys the land. Gradually, the lovely island of Nauru started to look like the moon.In 1968, Nauru became one of the richest countries in the world. Every year the government received millions and millions of dollars for its phosphate.Unfortunately, the leaders invested the money unwisely and lost millions of dollars. In addition, they used millions more dollars for personal expenses. Soon people realized that they had a terrible problem---their phosphate was running out. Ninety percent of their island was destroyed and they had nothing. By 2000, Nauru was almost financially ruined. Experts say that it would take approximately $433,600,000 and more than 20 years to repair the island. This will probably never happen.28. What might be the author’s purpose in writing the text?A. To seek help for Nauru’s problems.B. To give a warning to other countries.C. To show the importance of money.D. To tell a heartbreaking story of a war.29. What was Nauru like before the Europeans came?A. Rich and powerful.B. Modern and open.C. Peaceful and attractive.D. Greedy and aggressive.30. Which of the following was a cause of Nauru’s financial problem?A. Its leaders misused the money.B. It spent too much repairing the island.C. Its phosphate mining cost much money.D. It lost millions of dollars in the civil war.31. What can we learn about Nauru from the last paragraph?A. The ecological damage is difficult to repair.B. The leaders will take the experts’words seriously.C. The island was abandoned by the Nauruans.D. The phosphate mines were destroyed.DNo one is sure how the ancient Egyptians built the pyramids near Cairo. But a new study suggests they used a little rock ‘n’ roll. Long-ago builders could have attached wooden poles to the stones and rolled them across the sand, the scientists say.“Technically, I think what they’re proposing is possible,” physicist Daniel Bonn said.People have long puzzled over how the Egyptians moved such huge rocks. And there’s no obvious answer. On average, each of the two million big stones weighed about as much as a large pickup truck. The Egyptians somehow moved the stone blocks to the pyramid site from about one kilometer away.The most popular view is that Egyptian workers slid the blocks along smooth paths. Many scientists suspect workers first would have put the blocks on sleds(滑板). Then they would have dragged them along paths. To make the work easier, workers may have lubricated the paths either with wet clay or with the fat from cattle. Bonn has now tested this idea by building small sleds and dragging heavy objects over sand.Evidence from the sand supports this idea. Researchers found small amounts of fat, as well as a large amount of stone and the remains of paths.However, physicist Joseph West thinks there might have been a simpler way, who led the new study. West said, “I was inspired while watching a television program showing how sleds might have helped with pyramid construction. I thought, ‘Why don’t they just try rolling the things?’ ”A square could be turned into a rough sort of wheel by attaching wooden poles to its sides, he realized. That, he notes, should make a block of stone “a lot easier to roll than a square”.So he tried it.He and his students tied some poles to each of four sides of a 30-kilogram stone block. That action turned the block into somewhat a wheel. Then they placed the block on the ground.They wrapped one end of a rope around the block and pulled. The researchers found they could easily roll the block along different kinds of paths. They calculated that rolling the block required about as much force as moving it along a slippery(滑的) path.West hasn’t tested his idea on larger blocks, but he thinks rolling has clear advantages over sliding. At least, workers wouldn’t have needed to carry cattle fat or water to smooth the paths.32. It’s widely believed that the stone blocks were moved to the pyramid site by .A. rolling them on roadsB. pushing them over the sandC. sliding them on smooth pathsD. dragging them on some poles33. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 7 refer to?A. Rolling the blocks with poles attached.B. Rolling the blocks on wooden wheels.C. Rolling poles to move the blocks.D. Rolling the blocks with fat.34. Why is rolling better than sliding according to West?A. Because more force is needed for sliding.B. Because rolling work can be done by fewer cattle.C. Because sliding on smooth roads is more dangerous.D. Because less preparation on paths is needed for rolling.35. What is the text mainly about?A. An experiment on ways of moving blocks to the pyramid site.B. An application of the method of moving blocks to the pyramid site.C. An argument about different methods of moving blocks to the pyramid site.D. An introduction to a possible new way of moving blocks to the pyramid site.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。
