Some Native American Indians gave it the name.C. The street got its name due to the original architecture there.D. The English adopted the name in memory of the original wall.57.

Bankers Trust Company Building.BDo you like cholocate? It’s popular all over the world, but why? Scientists have been trying to discover its secrets.The main thing is that chocolate makes us happy. This may have something to do with the 380 known chemicals found in it. The problem is that many of these chemicals appear in other types of food too. So, it’s difficult to know why the ones in chocolate make us feel g ood. But we aren’t all lost. Adam Drewnowski at the University of Michigan found that chocolate makes the human brain produce natural opiates, called opioids(鸦片). These can stop pain and make us feel good.Others think that we feel good after eating chocolate because of a chemical called anandamide. This occurs naturally in the brain and seems to give us a feeling of happiness. Normally, our levels of anandamide are very low and our body uses it quickly. But two scientists, Emmanuelle di Tomaso of Harvard University and Daniele Piomelli of the University of California believe that the anandamide in chcocolate raises levels of the chemical in our brain. And other substances in chocolate slow down the speed at which we use it. So, chocolate helps us feel happier for longer! Great!But which chocolate is the best? Well, for a start, there’s more anandamide in dark chocolate than milk chocolate. So, you need to buy some dark chocolate. Then, you should follow these five tips from connoisseur chocolate makers Ghirardelli. They say that when choosing chocolate, you need to use all five senses:1.Sight: good chocolate has a shine to it.2.Smell: rub the chocolate with your finger to release the aroma. It should have a deepchocolate smell.3.Sound: when you break a piece of chocolate it should snap crisply, creating a soundsimilar to that of a thin piece of wood being broken.4.Touch: the chocolate should melt easily in your mouth becoming a thick liquid.5.Taste: good chocolate should not taste too sweet or too bitter.58. Why does the author mention opioids in Paragraph 2?A. To prove chocolate contains the same chemicals as opioids.B. To show the sharp contrast between chocolate and opioids.C. To suggest that chocolate is as highly addictive as opioids.D. To help explain the reason why chocolate brings pleasure.59. The underlined word “it” in Paragraph 3 refers to _______.A. anandamideB. chocolateC. opiateD. Brain60. Which of the following best suits “perfect chocolate” according to cho colate makers?A. Milk chocolate that produces a dull sound when broken.B. Milk chocolate that has shiny appearance and bitter taste.C. Dark chocolate that is easy to melt and of moderate taste.D. Dark chocolate that gives off a sweet and deep fragrance.CLandscapes are not only the setting for history; they are also a major ssource of our sense of history and identity. Read them right, and historical landscapes can be more informative than any other kind of source. This is even more the case with sacred landscapes, which were reflection of our ancestors’ beliefs about their relation to the cosmos and can still today seem to hold a spiritual influence.Over the years, I’ve had the good fortune to have spent tim e in many historical landscapes, hoping to picture something of the spirits of the people who shaped them over the centuries. I still remember years ago walking along the Inca sacred lines around Cuso, Peru. In this ancient landscape, old sites that once belonged to Incan royals had become torn Spanish mansions. Or many years ago, before the Gulf Wars, I took a journey through south Iraq, the heart land of civilization, where the desert is still crossed by dried-up riverbeds of the Euphrates and canals that once sustained the world’s first cities.Britain also has its own magical ancient landscapes. From the Mesolithic to the Bronze andIron Ages, rich layers of the past are still present in the landscape surrounding Stonehenge, even as traffic rushes down the A303. It is the A303 that is the problem. As the main road to the south west from the home counties, the road runs right past Stonehenge. One of humanity’s most famous monuments, Stonehenge is an archaeological landscape without parallel in Europe, and perhaps the world. The first circle at Stonehenge was made 5,000 years ago, and the great stone circle itself in a round 2,500 BC ----the age of the pyramids! And the mysteries of this amazing monument and the complex prehistoric societies that produced it are by no means exhausted, as new discoveries continue to show.All the more worrying to me then, this unique landscape is currently at the centre of a projected plan by Highways England, which aims to relieve congestion on the A303 by creating a four-lane road with a 1.8-mile tunnel, and an expressway interchange 1.5 miles to the west. While the National Trust and English Heritage have offered qualified support for the plan, UNESCO has expressed its opposition. Meanwhile, the Stonehenge Alliance, a group of archaeologists and environmental campaigners, says the plan is based on inadequate and obsolete information. In the end, the argument is about the totality of an ancient landscape, and that includes the ancient astronomical alignment that was purposefully chosen by our ancestors, and that will, in my view, be werecked by the xpressway interchange. Time perhaps for a rethink in the name of future generations?61. What can historical landscapes offer us?A. Details of ancient lifestyle.B. Sacred writingsC. Rich historical informationD. Breathtaking sights.62. What did the author want to explore when touring historical landscapes?A. Different archcitecture.B. His sense of belonging.C. The rise of ancient citiesD. The spirits of ancestors.63. Which of the following is True about Stonehenge?A. The first stone circle has a longer history than the pyramids.B. New discoveries have solved the mysteries of the monument.C. The ancient monument must have been the heart land of civilizaiton.D. The landscape surrounding Stonehenge has rich layers of the present.64. What is the author’s attitude towards the projected plan by Highways England?A. He is for it because it will benefit the future generations.B. He keeps cool but believes a better solution could be adopted.C. It should be stopped because it will destroy the totality of the monument.D. It is rather practical especially with qualified support from the government.D.The news one day reached Gabriel that Bathsheba had left the neighborhood. Her abrupt departure is more emphatic than her verbal refusal of his offer. It may have been observed that there is no regular path for getting out of love as there is for getting in. All that Gabriel learnt of Bathsheba’s movements was done indirectly. It appeared that she had gone to a place called Weatherbury, which, whether as a visitor or permanently, he could not discover.Gabriel had two dogs. George, the elder, had originally belonged to a shepherd (牧羊人) of inferior morals and dreadful temper. Long experience had so precisely taught the animal the difference between different orders. Though old, he was clever and trustworthy still. The youngdog, George’s son, might possibly have been the image of his mother, for there was not much resemblance between him and George. He was learning the sheep-keeping business. So earnest and yet so wrongheaded was this young dog that if sent behind he did it so thoroughly that he would have chased them across the whole country with the greatest pleasure if not called off.One night, when Gabriel had returned to his house, he called as usual to the dogs, previously shutting them up in the outhouse till next morning. Only one responded----old George; the other could not be found. ①Gabriel then concluded that the young one had not finished his meal, and he went indoors to the luxxury of a bed.It was a still and wet night. Just before dawn he was woken by the abnormal reverberation of familiar music. To the shepherd, the note of the sheep-bell is beating with unusual violence and rapidity. The experienced ear of Gabriel knew the sound was caused by the running of the flock with great speed. ②He jumped out of bed and ascended the hill. These two hundred ewes( female sheep) seemed to have absolutely vanished from the hill. Gabriel called at the top of his voice:‘Ovey, ovey, ovey!’He called again: the valleys and furthest hills resounded but no sheep. He passed through the trees and along the ridge of the hill. ③He advanced: at one point the rails were broken through, and there he saw the footprints of his ewes. The dog came up, licked his hand, and made signs implying that he expected some great reward. Gabriel looked over the side of the mountain. The ewes lay dead----a pile of two hundred dead bodies.As far as could be learnt, it appeared that the poor young dog, still under the impression that since he was kept for funning after sheep, the more he ran after them the better, had at the end of his meal off the dead lamb, which may have given him additional energy and spirits, collected all the ewes into a corner and driven the timid creatures through the hedge, breaking down a portion of the rotten railing. ④Gabriel was an intensely humane man; his first feeling now was one of pity for the untimely fate of these gentle ewes and their unborn lambs. It was a sxecond to remember another stage of the matter. All the savings had been gone at a blow; his hopes of being an independent farmer were laid low. Gabriel’s energies, patience, and industry had been so severely taxed during the years of his life, to reach his present stage of progress, that no more seemed to be left in him. He leant down upon a rail, covered his face with his hands and uttered in thankfulness: “Thank God I am not married: what would she have done in the poverty now coming upon me!”Gabriel found that the value of remaining lambs, plant, and implements which were really his own would be about sufficient to pay his debts, leaving himself a free man with the clothes he stood up in, and nothing more. Two months later, Gabriel was discovered at the hiring fair in Casterbridge. Though he was not hired, he earned a few pennies at the hiring fair and learned that another fair would be held at Shottsford, 10 miles beyong Weatherbury.65. How did Gabriel feel after Bathsheba’s departure?A. He was consumed with anger.B. He quickly adapted and moved on .C. He decided to stick to his first love.D. He was at a loss to grasp the reasons.66. What can we learn about the young dog?A. He was more than capable of doing a shepherd dog’s duty.B. He was slow in responding to Gabriel’s different orders.C. He bore a striking resemblance to the old dog George.D. He belonged to those of terrible temper and behavior.67. Where should the sentence “ On the extreme summit, he saw the younger dog standing against the sky----dark and motionless.” Be put in the passage?A.①B. ②C. ③D. ④68. Two hundred ewes died mainly due to ______.A. Gabriel’s carelessness.B. the absence of old GeorgeC. the young dog’s wrong impressionD. the unpleasant weather conditions69. Why did Gabriel utter such words in thankfulness after such a blow to him?A. He eas greatly relieved to know that no villager got hurt in the disaster.B. He felt lucky that he oculd pay off his debts with the remaining things on the farm.C. He was convinced that with patience and industry such a situation would improve.D. He had such a considerate and sympathetic nature that he didn’t want ot bother others.70. What might happen in the following paragraphs?A. Gabriel decided to see Bathsheba on his way to Shottsford.B. Gabriel found a good job in Casterbridge and succeeded again.C. The young dog was abandoned for his failure ot perform his duty.D. Good neighbors gave Gabriel a hand and restored the rotten railing.第四部分任务型阅读(共10小题;每小题1分,满分10分)请认真阅读下列短文,并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。

2019-2020学年江苏黄桥中学高三英语上学期期中考试试卷及答案

2019-2020学年江苏黄桥中学高三英语上学期期中考试试卷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AFine art fairs(艺术博览会)are the trend of the 21st century, with new art and antique(古玩)fairs and festivals springing up in diverse parts of the world. Here is a list of four noteworthy art fairs.Art Basel, Basel, SwitzerlandThe granddaddy of art fairs, Art Basel, was established in 1970 by a group of local art gallerists and is the biggest contemporary art fair in the world. Art Basel takes place over a 5-day period each June in Basel, Switzerland. The high cost of renting space for gallery owners is offset(抵消)by the huge attendance at the fair. For example in 2010, about 60,000 visitors attended Art Basel.Frieze Art Fair, London“Frieze Art Fair was established in 2003 and is one of the few fairs to focus only on contemporary art and living artists.v"Thefair takes place every October in Regent's Park, London. It features over 170 of the most exciting contemporary art galleries in the world. ”In addition to the fair which began in 2003, the fair owners Matthew Slotover and Amanda Sharp publish Frieze, an international art magazine established in 1991 and devoted to contemporary art.TEFAF Maastricht, the NetherlandsEstablished in 1975 as The Pictura Fine Art Fair, and renamed The European Fine Art Foundation(TEFAF), Maastricht in 1996, the fair includes 260 of the world's most famous art and antique dealers from 16 countries.The 24th edition of the TEFAF fair held March 18 — 27, 2011 featured 260 dealers exhibiting approximately 30, 000 artworks and antiques with an overall value of $ US 1. 4 billion.ARCO, MadridARCO Madrid was established in 1982 and is one of Europe's leading and popular art fairs. In addition to the exhibiting galleries(in 2011, 197 international art galleries participated), a seriesof lectures and specially focused exhibitions take place.1.How does Art Basel cover the expense of renting space?A.By selling tickets.B.By selling expensive exhibits.C.By donation from dealers.D.By support from the government.2.The owners of Frieze Art Fair are also in charge of____.A.170 living artists.B.An international art magazine.C.30,000 artworks and antiques.D.A series of lectures.3.Which of the following has the longest history?A.Art BaselB.Frieze Art FairC.TEFAFD.ARCOBSix Neanderthals who lived in what is now France were eaten by their fellow Neanderthals some 100,000 years ago, according to fearful evidence of the cannibalistic (食人的) event discovered by scientists in a cave in the 1990s. Now, researchersmay have figured out why the Neanderthals, including two children, became victims of cannibalism: Global warming.While previous studies have examined Neanderthal remains to find proof of cannibalistic behavior, this is the first study to offer clues as to what may have led Neanderthals to become cannibals. Scientists found that rapid changes in local ecosystems as the planet warmed may have wiped out the animal species that Neanderthals ate, forcing them to look elsewhere to fill their stomachs.The researchers examined a layer of sediment (沉积物) in a cave known as Baume Moula-Guercy, in southeastern France. In that layer, charcoal (碳) and animal bones were so well-preserved that scientists could reconstruct an environmental picture representing 120,000 to 130,000 years ago. They discovered that the climate in the area was likely even warmer than it is today, and that the change from a cold, dry climate to a warmer one happened quickly. “Maybe within a few generations”, study co-author Emmanuel said. As the animals that once populated the landscape disappeared, some Neanderthals ate what they could find — their neighbors.Cannibalism is by no means unique to Neanderthals, and has been practiced by humans and their s “from the early Palaeolithic to theBronze Age and beyond,” the study authors reported. The behavior adopted by the starving Neanderthals in the Baume Moula-Guercy should therefore not be viewed as “a mark of bestiality (兽性) or sub-humanity”, but as an emergency adaptation to a period of severe environmental stress, according to the study.4. What does the study mainly focus on?A. The social behavior of Neanderthals.B. The reason for cannibalism among Neanderthals.C. The climate change in southeasternFrance.D. The influence of global warming on ancient animals.5. What can possibly be used to describe the climate in southeasternFrance120,000 to 130,000 years ago?A. It was no warmer than it is today.B. It was first warm while later cold and dry.C. Its change was mild and went through quite a long process.D. Its change is a chief factor contributing to cannibalism.6. Which of the following might the study authors agree with?A. Neanderthals’ cannibalism showed their bestiality.B. Cannibalism was actually a measure the Neanderthals had to adopt to survive.C. Neanderthals’ cannibalism guaranteed their rule over other tribes.D. Only Neanderthals were found to have cannibalism in human history.7. Where can you most possibly find this passage?A. In a science journal.B. In a travel brochure.C. In a history book.D. In a geography book.CDid you know that the average child has heard the word "no" over 20,000 times before they turn the age of three? Ironically, it is also around this time that children begin to develop enough personal character to refuse to obey. The "terrible twos" are categorized by a lack of understanding. Somewhere between three and four, children begin to acquire the skills to reason. It is during this time they watch how other children and adults reason. If we're not careful, the children will watch us model a world of "NOs".By the time a person turns eighteen, how many times have they been told no? I haven't found any studies that even attempted to track this statistic, but I'm sure if the number is 20,000 by three, then at eighteen that number has multiplied. You can do the math.Anyway, I think I know why we say no. We say no to protect. We say no to direct. We say no to stop potential confusion. However, do we sometimes say no just for the sake of saying no? Do we say no because we have internalized(内在化)all of the "NOs" we've heard over the years and we feel it is finally our time to say no to someone else?The internalized no can damage the growth process of dreams in infancy as quickly as it can weaken a three-year-old. And we wonder why we run intopeople with big, un-accomplished dreams who have a bit of a chip on their shoulder. They have to take on the 20,000 NOs. However, the thing that keeps them going is the possibility of the power of ONE YES! Just as it only takes one book to make a writer a Pulitzer Prize Winner, it onlytakes one word to change the course of your day. That word is YES!8. What do we know about two- year- olds?A. They understand well.B. They often say no to others.C. They think logically.D. They don't do all they're told.9. What effect does saying no have on children?A. They lose all their dreams.B. They aren't easy to succeed.C. They don't make mistakes.D. They never say yes to others.10. Which word best describes the author's attitude to a world of "NOs"?A. Tolerant.B. Disapproving.C. Favorable.D. Carefree.11. What is the text?A. A how-to guide.B. A survey report.C. An opinion essay.D. A short story.DYou run into the grocery store to quickly pick up your item. You grab what you need and head to the front of the store. After quickly sizing up the check-out lines, you choose the one that looks fastest. You chose wrong. People getting in other lines long after you have already checked out and headed to the parking lot. Why does this seem to always happen to you?Well, as it turns out, it's just math that is working against you. A grocery store tries to have enough employees at the checkout lines to get all their customers through with minimum delay. But sometimes, like on a Sunday afternoon, they get super busy. Because most grocery stores don't have the physical space to add more checkout lines, their system becomes overburdened. Some small interruption — a price check, a particularly talkative customer — will have downstream effects, holding up the entire line behind them.If there are three lines at the store, these delays will happen randomly at different registers (收银台). Think about the probability. The chances of your line being that fastest one are only one in three, which means you have a two-thirds chance of not being in the fastest line. So it's not just in your mind: Another line is probably moving faster thanyours.Now, mathematicians have come up with a good solution, which they call queuing theory, to this problem: Just make all customers stand in one long snaking line, called a serpentine line, and serve each person at the front with the next available register. With three registers, this method is about three times faster on average than the more traditional approach. This is what they do at most banks, Trader Joe's, and some fast-food places. With aserpentine line, a long delay at one register won't unfairly punish the people who lined up behind it. Instead, it will slow everyone down a little bit.12. What phenomenon is described in the first paragraph?A. Queuing in a line.B. A shopping experience.C. A rush in the morning.D. Cutting in a line.13. According to the article, what may cause delays in checking out?A. The lack of employees in the grocery store.B. Some unexpected delays of certain customers.C. The increasing items bought by customers.D. A worsening shopping system of the store.14. What is the solution given by mathematicians?A. Employing more workers for checking out.B. Limiting the number of queuing people.C. Making only one line available.D. Always standing in the same line.15. What's the principle behind the queuing theory?A. To pursue the maximum benefit.B. To leave success or failure to luck.C. To avoid the minimum loss.D. To spread the risk equally among everyone.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。

江苏省泰兴市黄桥中学分校高三英语阅读训练(精选06各省市模拟题C、D、E三篇)一American Thomas Schelling and Israeli-American Robert Aumann will share the 2005 Nobel Prize in economics. Both men have greatly influenced the way conflict and business negotiations are carried out.The two men are being honored for their work in developing an economic idea. It is called game theory.Game theory began as the study of decision-making in competitive situations, like games. John von Neumann and Oskar Morgenstern linked the theory of games with economic activities more than sixty years ago.In the nineteen fifties, John Nash developed an idea known as the Nash equilibrium (平衡). The Nash equilibrium is the point where all sides in a competitive situation believe they have been given the best offer they will ever get. He proved this with mathematical methods.Mr. Nash won the Nobel Prize in economics with two other men in 1994.Mr. Schelling used the ideas of game theory to study real-life problems, such as the arms competition between the United States and the Soviet Union forty years ago. He was interested in what influenced negotiating groups. He showed how one side might decide to harm its interests for a short period of time to make gains over a longer period. Mr. Schelling also used game theory to show how people become divided by race. He found that divided societies can result even among persons mostly willing to live near people of another race.Mr. Aumann developed game theory mathematically so that it can be useful for different areas of study. He showed that peaceful cooperation can provide good results for all competitors in a game over a long period. This is true even among competitors with a temporary conflict of interest. Mr. Aumann also considered how reasonable decisions are made among groups. He showed that knowing what competitors know is important to decision-making.The work of both men has influenced areas of study other than economics. International negotiators, military planners, business leaders and biologists use methods developed by Mr. Schelling and Mr. Aumann.Mr. Schelling, an American, is a retired professor of the University of Maryland. Mr. Aumann is a citizen of both the United States and Israel. He is a retired professor of the Hebrew University of Jerusalem.1. Mr. Schelling and Mr. Aumann share the 2005 Nobel Prize in economics for .A. developing “game theory”B. developing the Nash equilibriumC. proving “game theory”D. beginning the study of “game theory”2. The underlined phrase “make gains” in the sixth paragraph probably refers to .A. suffer lossB. improve healthC. make moneyD. make a profit3. According to Mr. Aumann, when we want to reach a reasonable decision among groups,we .A. don’t have to be informed what our competitors thinkB. must have a good understanding of what our competitors knowC. need only think about how we can make the most of our own interestsD. needn’t peacefully cooperate with our competitors to make a profit4. We can infer from the text that .A. Mr. Aumann used “game theory”to study the arms competition between the US and theSoviet Union.B. Mr. Schelling and Mr. Aumann only explained the game theory mathematicallyC. most of the people are willing to live near their own competitors according to Mr. SchellingD. the game theory developed by both men is very valuable to more than economics二Like many of my generation, I have a weakness for hero worship. At some point, however, we all begin to question our heroes and our need for them. This leads us to ask: What is a hero?Despite immense differences in cultures, heroes around the world generally share a number of characteristics that instruct and inspire people.A hero does something worth talking about. A hero has a story of adventure to tell and a community who will listen. But a hero goes beyond mere fame.Heroes serve powers or principles larger than themselves. Like high voltage transformers, heroes take the energy of higher powers and step it down so that it can be used by ordinary people.The hero lives a life worthy of imitation. Those who imitate a genuine hero experience life with new depth, enthusiasm, and meaning. A sure test for what would be heroes is what or whom do they serve? What are they willing to live and die for? If the answer or evidence suggests they serve only their own fame, they may be famous persons but not heroes. Madonna and Michael Jackson are famous, but who would claim that their fans find life richer?Heroes are catalysts(催化剂) for change. They have a vision from the mountain top. They have the skill and the charm to move the masses. They create new possibilities. Without Gandhi, India might still be part of the British Empire. Without Rosa Parks and Martin Luther King, Jr., we might still have segregated (隔离的) buses, restaurants, and parks. It may be possible for large scale change to occur without leaders with magnetic personalities, but the pace of change would be slow, the vision uncertain, and the committee meetings endless.5. Although heroes may come from different cultures, they _____________________.A. generally process certain inspiring characteristicsB. probably share some weaknesses of ordinary peopleC. are often influenced by previous generationsD. all unknowingly attract a large number of fans6.Gandhi and Martin Luther King are typical examples of outstanding leaders who ___________ .A. are good at demonstrating their charming charactersB. can move the masses with their forceful speechesC. are capable of meeting all challenges and hardshipsD. can provide an answer to the problems of their people7.The author concludes that historical changes would ________ .A. be delayed without leaders with inspiring personal qualitiesB. not happen without heroes making the necessary sacrificesC. take place if there were heroes to lead the peopleD. produce leaders with attractive personalities三One would have to be a fool to overlook the importance of using positive thinking for you rather than allowing negative thinking to work against you. In recent years, research in psychopharmacology (精神药理学) has proved what many people have known over the centuries: a positive attitude is good for you, good for your health, good for your wealth, good for everything. Researchers found that a positive attitude produces a specific chemical reaction which makes people feel better, while negative thinking resultsin a decline of hormone (荷尔蒙) and shuts down the immune (免疫的) system. This leads to illness and depression. Positive thoughts will make you feel better. Even if you must begin by literally forcing yourself to be positive (faking it, so to speak), it will become contagious (会传播的) and the positive thoughts will generate nice little chemicals and good feelings which will reinforce the positive thoughts.For example, if you force yourself to smile or laugh, even when you don't feel like smiling or laughing, if you keep at it for a few minutes, you will soon feel like it. Feelings can generate thoughts, but thoughts can also generate feelings. Control your thoughts and you can control your feelings. Positive thinking is important in all aspects of our lives. There is probably no single factor more important in determining your success in achieving your career objectives than your own attitude.It's often been said that in the land of the blind, the one-eyed man is king. And in the office of militant (好战) negativism, the positive workers shine like gold. You cannot control external events, but you can learn to control your reaction to those events and thereby have a positive attitude and be happy. This vital key to success is totally within your control. Use it.8. We can infer from the passage that .A. positive thinking can cure you of your diseasesB. positive thinking can easily be generated by anyoneC. a decline of hormone may cause you to be depressedD. a specific chemical reaction is the cause of negative thinking9. According to the passage, which of the following is true?A. Feeling and thoughts can generate each other.B. It's easier to control thoughts than to control feelings.C. Your success depends wholly on your attitude.D. Keeping smiling will surely make you successful.10. Just like a one-eyed man in the land of the blind, you should .A. take positive attitude in the office of militant negativismB. be king in your officeC. pay no attention to what is going on around youD. control your feeling to what is happening to you11. The best title to the passage is .A. Thinking Benefits PeopleB. Why Should PeopleThinkC. Positive Thinking and Negative ThinkingD. Thinking: The Vital Way四SOUTHPORT, ENGLAND—A British teaching union famous for strange ideas has supported proposal to employ dogs as classroom assistants.At the annual conference of the Professional Association of teachers in Southport, northwest of England, one person suggested properly trained dogs be able to keep order in primary schools. They can round up lost children and protect those who experience unfortunate “accidents”. Wendy Dyble, a Sheetland Islands woman who teaches children up to age seven, made it clear to her fellow friends that she was not “barking mad”. They obviously believed her, supporting her idea by 16 votes to 13, with a total of 63 abstentions.he said big dogs could help round up children, keep them in line, lick up the milk they spill on the floor and provide the extra eyes that a teacher needs to keep order. “A big dog would also be helpful for breaking up fights and look for lost property, like gym shoes or dolls, ” Dyble said at the conference. “The dog will also be useful in sniffing out smells that children do not own up to,” she added. “It would be nice for the teacher not to have to go round sniffing each child to find the culprit.”The idea was greeted by the Dog Defense League but less so by bigger teaching unions. A spokesman for Education Secretary David Blunkett, who is blind, said his guidedog was always popular with pupils when he visited schools. The Professional Association of Teachers, with around 35,000 members, is the smallest teaching union in Britain. It has an honour for occasional strange ideas.Earlier this week, its annual conference here suggested stopping exams because they lead to stress and introducing selection at the age of 12 based on physical coordination and manual skill in the use of hand.12. According to the writer's opinion, to employ dogs as classroom assistants .A. is a wonderful ideaB. can improve the relation between children and animalsC. is beyond ordinary people's mindsD. can make some teachers lose jobs13. What Dyble said at the conference .A. gained some support from the membersB. frightened everyone at the conferenceC. interested everyone at the conferenceD. caused some trouble to trained dogs14. A spokesman for Education Secretary .A. once used a dog as classroom assistantB. sang high praise for Dyble's ideaC. would employ dogs as teachersD. benefited from dogs more than others15. The last paragraph of this passage .A. has nothing to do with the topic of this passageB. shows there are too many exams in British schoolC. provides further facts about the teaching unionD. shows the writer's anger to the union五Gene technology to benefit peopleAmong all the fast growing science and technology, the research of human genes, or biological engineering as people call it, is drawing more and more attention now. Sometimes it is a hot topic discussed by people.The greatest thing that gene technology can do is to cure serious diseases that doctors at present can almost do nothing with, such as cancer and heart disease. Every year, millions of people are murdered by these two killers. And to date, doctors have not found an effective way to cure them. But if the gene technology is applied, not only these two diseases can be cured completely, bringing happiness and more living days to the patients, but also the great amount of money people spend on curing their diseases can be saved, therefore it benefits the economy as well. In addition, human life span(寿命) can be prolonged.Gene technology can help people to give birth to more healthy and clever children. Some families, with the English imperial family being a good example, have hereditary(遗传的) diseases. This means their children will for sure have the family disease, which is a great trouble for these families. In the past, doctors could do nothing about hereditary diseases. But gene technology can solve this problem perfectly. The scientist just need to find the wrong gene and correct it, and a healthy child will be born.Some people are worrying that the gene research can be used to manufacture human beings in large quantities. In the past few years, scientists have succeeded in cloning a sheep, therefore these people predict that human babies would soon be cloned. But I believe cloned babies will not come out in large quantities, for most couples in the world can have babies in very normal way. Of course, the governments must take care to control gene technology.16. What does "these two killers" in the second paragraph refer to?A. gene technology and another treatment of the two diseases.B. The two murderers who killed the cloned babyC. The two diseases of cancer and heart diseaseD. Hereditary diseases and cancer17. What's the main idea of the third paragraph?A. How gene technology can be applied in the field of treating hereditary diseases.B. Gene technology can be used to clone human babies.C. Gene technology can help people to give birth of a baby.D. Gene technology can help the English imperial family out18.In what way gene technology can help to treat hereditary diseases?A. Using gene technology, people with hereditary diseases can have more living days.B. Using gene technology, scientist finds the wrong gene and corrects it.C. Using gene technology, human babies can be cloned.D. Doctors can cure cancer and heart disease with the help of gene technology.19.What is the main purpose of writing this passage?A. Expressing the writer's idea that gene technology will benefit peopleB. Telling people the advantages of gene technologyC. Telling the readers that gene technology will not benefit peopleD. Explaining that gene technology will also do harm to the humanity六Special Bridges Help Animals Cross the Road—Reported by Sheila CarrickWhy did the chicken cross the road? To get to the other side.Most people know this joke. But recently, some people have been much more worried about how the grizzly bear (灰熊) and mountain lion can cross the road.“Millions of animals die each year on U.S. roads,” the Federal Highway Administration reports. In fact, only about 80 ocelots, an endangered wild cat, exist in the U.S. today. The main reason? Roadkill.“Ecopassages(生态通道)” may help animals cross the road without being hit by cars. They are paths both over and under roads. “These ecopassages can be extremely useful, so that wildlife can avoid road accidents,” said Jodi Hilty of the Wildlife Protection Society.But do animals actually use the ecopassages? The answer is yes. Paul Beier of Northern Arizona University found foot marks left by mountain lions on an ecopassage that went under a highway. This showed that the lions used the passage.Builders of ecopassages try to make them look like a natural part of an area by planting trees on and around them. Animals seem to be catching on. Animals as different as salamanders (火蜥蜴) and grizzly bears are using the bridges and underpasses.The next time you visit a park or drive through an area with a lot of wildlife, look around. You might see an animal overpass!20. The writer uses the example of “ocelots” to show that _______.A. wild animals have become more dangerousB. the driving conditions have improved greatlyC. the measure for protecting wildlife fails to workD. an increasing number of animals are killed in road accidents21. From the news story, we know an ecopassage is ________.A. an underground path for carsB. a fence built for the safety of the areaC. a bridge for animals to get over a riverD. a path for animals to cross the road22. When the writer says that animals seem “to be catching on”, he means ________.A. animals begin to realize the dangers on the roadB. animals begin to learn to use ecopassagesC. animals are crossing the road in groupsD. animals are increasing in number23. The writer asks visitors and drivers to look around when traveling because ________.A. wild animals may attack carsB. wild animals may jam (阻塞) the roadC. they may see wild animals in the parkD. they may see wild animals on ecopassages七Dorms (宿舍) are part of the typical college experience. From RAs to shared bathrooms and cafeteria (自助的)food, nothing quite compares, and despite all the horror stories, many people look back on dorm living as one of the best times of their life. But, like anything else, it has both its pros and cons.Expenses and Goodies. Face it: living on campus gives you a nice, neat package deal, (一揽子交易), as far as facilities (设施) go. Unless off-campus housing is very cheap, you’re probably going to save a lot of money by living in a dorm. Most schools charge one flat rate for both your housing and meal-plan. And with a dorm you don’t have to worr y about paying for utilities (公共事业): electricity, water, phone, it’s all included. Not to mention cable(网线), on most campuses, ethernet access, a high speed, constant connection to the Internet, which is now available in most dorms.Privacy: One thing you find a little lacking in many dorms is privacy. You can end up sharing your bedroom with one person and your bathroom with twelve, which can be a big adjustment (适应). Rest assured that not all dorms are like this; you can get a single in many dorms (although you may have to pay more) and you might only share a bathroom with a couple other people. And many students find they really don’t mind close quarters(=living space), after the initial(最初的)adjustment period. Know both your surroundings and yourself. If it is a new situation, check to see exactly how much privacy you will and won’t have. And consider whether or not you’re the kind of person who can deal with a low-privacy situation. But give yourself a chance, too.Atmosphere: Perhaps the most irreplaceable(不能替代的)thing about dorm life is the atmosphere. You may find yourself becoming close friends with your roommate and the other people on your hall or floor, forming relationships which will make your college experience more enjoyable and may last well beyond graduation. There is also, of course, more supervision(监督)in a dorm, which many people don’t like. It’s not all bad, though, because you may find yourself very grateful for the nearby help, if a party gets out of hand or something else goes wrong. And there’s always the bonus (额外利息) of less commute (通勤) time to your classes and easier access to campus resources.24.The word “goodies” in the first line of the second paragraph means .A. tasty foodB. attractive goodsC. useful facilitiesD. friendship25.Living in dorms has all the following advantages except that .A.dorms are usually cheaper than off-campus housingB.living in dorms saves time that you spend traveling to classes every dayC.living in dorms means that there are many facilities available to youD.living in dorms keeps you in close touch with what happens in your school26.One of the drawbacks (缺点) of living in dorms is_________.A. additional fee for utilitiesck of privacyC.less supervisionD.no help if something goes wrong27.A person who can deal with a low-privacy situation ________.A. doesn’t mind close quartersB. will never share a bathroom with othersC. doesn’t like new surroundingsD. can easily adjust to a new situation八Dr Kimsma ,from the Netherlands, believes that euthanasia(安乐死)is not simply a question of ending someone’s life. The important thing is how that person’s life ends. If someone chooses enthanasia, he doesn’t have to think about the worry, and the sufferin g only. He can also focus (集中在)on the things he really wants to do, such as taking a last trip, or making up a fight with someone in the family, or saying goodbye. The pressure on that person becomes lighter when he knows he won’t have to go on suffering l ong. Often, people who have chosen euthanasia have such peace of mind that they die naturally, “ If I ended the life of a patient because I had not given him good care ,I would feel ashamed and guilty,” he said.Dr Kimsma admits that in the case of euthanasia there is a conflict(冲突) between his goals as a doctor: saving life and helping those who are suffering. He believes that helping people is the morally right thing to do.” My patient can be sure that I will not let them suffer unnecessarily alone. That is just my goal a nd duty as a doctor.” He says he can only continue to perform euthanasia because it is something that happens very rarely.Dr Ravenscroft, a medical professor in Australia, holds that euthanasia is wrong. He believes that when people have an incurable illness, they should be given care that lessens their pain and suffering and helps them to feel less afraid. He says that such care should improve the quality of a person’s life, even in the very last part of his life, without bringing death. Dr Ravenscroft su ggests that a patient should be given a drug to help him sleep for the last few days of his life, if nothing else will help him.Ravenscroft says, “ Life is a great mystery. We take part in all of life including dying, but we are not masters of it.”Besides, if euthanasia is lawful, it may be easier to choose death instead of continuing to look for a better treatment. He fears that people can be persuaded to choose euthanasia when they do not really want to.28. Which of the following is Not Dr Kimsma’s opi nion?A. People may die peacefully in euthanasia because they feel less pressure.B. Euthanasia allows people to focus on important personal things in the last part of their lives.C. It is wrong to give up looking for a better treatment for an incurable disease.D. It is wrong to let a patient suffer when the disease is beyond cure.29. According to Dr Kimsma , when the two goals of a doctor conflict,_____A. saving life of those who are sick should come first.B. helping people who are suffering should come first.C. it is up to his patient to make a decision.D. the solution varies according to the situation.30. Dr Ravenscroft is against euthanasia . One of his reasons is that _______.A. nobody really wants to end his own life .B. saving life is the only goal for a doctor .C. care given to people having incurable diseases can make them live longer.D. people can be given painkillers and drugs to make them suffer less.31. By “ we are not masters of it” , Dr Ravenscroft means _______.A. we have no righ t to end a person’s life .B. we can never tell what will happen to us.C. life is as mysterious as death.D. life is always beyond our knowledge .九Fidenzio Salvatori is determined that the city of Toronto will have an outdoor marketplace for merchants from its immigrant community, complete with dancing and other forms of amusement from their native countries. "Toronto is truly multicultural (多元化)," he said in a newspaper interview. "It's a city from many places, and a multicultural marketplace will help Torontonians to understand and appreciate the rich variety of cultural groups in our city."Salvatori, aged 23, will soon complete his studies at the University of Toronto. He was eleven years old when he came to Canada from Italy with his parents. "Most of Toronto's immigrants are from lands where the marketplace has always been part of daily life," he said.Salvatori has been interested in getting an open-air market for Toronto for the last three years. This year, with the help of two fellow students, he prepared a proposal on the subject and presented it to the city's Executive Committee, asking for their support. The proposal pointed out Toronto's rich variety of national groups, "whose customs include market shopping."Under a Canadian government program for multiculturalism, the three students have received two thousand dollars with which they will do a study to find out whether Toronto's immigrant businessmen would support an open-air market. They hope the merchants will support the plan strongly. "A study done earlier this year showed that 90 percent of shoppers would be in favor of it," Salvatori said. "At first it would be an experiment. But we think it will prove to be good business for the merchants, as well as a tourist attraction."32.Fidenzio Salvatori, with two other students, has got two thousand dollars from the government .A. to make an experimentB. to start a marketplaceC. to perform a researchD. to operate a business33. According to Salvatori, the marketplace may also help to improve Toronto' .A. market managementB. community serviceC. travel industryD. city planning34. It can be inferred from the text that the Canadian government supportsA. the protection of different culturesB. the plan of an open-air marketC. the request of merchantsD. the attitude of shoppers十Have you ever felt your mind falling into disorder after a sleepless night?You couldn't come up with an original thought no matter how hard you tried.You were probably right if you thought that was caused by a lack of sleep. Dr Horne, a sleep researcher in England, studied 24 college students. One group got their normal eight hours of sleep. The other group didn't get the smallest amount of sleep—they stayed awake all night. The next day, Dr Horne tested the students. He asked them questions that required creative and original thinking. One of the questions was "How many uses can a cardboard box be put to?"The result? The wide—awake students did well on the test. The tired students did poorly.Research has already shown that tired people can do OK on tests of habitual thinking, like simple addition. But Dr Horne tested creative thinking only.As part of his study, he offered an amount of money as a reward to the sleepy students if they did well. But even this encouragement wasn't enough to help the students conquer their tiredness. They did poorly. Dr Horne believes that the part of the brain where thinking takes place may get worn out during waking hours. Sleep may help to repair the brain. Without any sleep, he emphasizes,"Even if you pay closer attention, you cannot do better."This study gives people something to think about, especially people like hospital workers who must stay awake all night and then make quick decisions.35、It can be known from the passage that lack of sleep may ___________.A、be a cause of some serious diseasesB、cause one to lose his ability to calculateC、do harm to one's power of usual thinkingD、weaken one's power of usual thinking36、Which of the following statements is supposed by the passage?A、Hospital workers can think well in spite of sleep.B、People cannot work well without good sleep.C、Those who are used to keeping awake all night do not like to sleep more hours.D、Those who cannot sleep well day and night are all learned men.37、Probaly who will not show great interest in this research result?A、AnybodyB、DoctorsC、NursesD、Students38、Which of th following might be the best title for the passage?A、An Experiment on 24 College StudentsB、Dr Horne, A Sleep ResearcherC、Encouragement and ResultsD、Sleep and Original Thinking十一On average, American kids ages 3 to 12 spent 29 hours a week in school, eight hours more than they did in 1981. They also did more household work and participated in more of such organized activities as soccer and ballet. Involvement in sports, in particular, rose almost 50% from 1981 to 1997: boys now spend an average of four hours a week playing sports; girls log half that time. All in all, however, children’s leisure time dropped from 40% of the day in 1981 to 25%.“Children are aff ected by the same time crisis that affects their parents, ” says Sandra Hofferth, who headed the recent study of children’s timetable. A chief reason, she says, is that more mothers are working outside the home. (Nevertheless children in both double-income and。

But also, crucially: What capabilities are we gaining?People who are good at finding their way around or good at using paper maps usually experience lots of confusion with digital maps. For example, they may mess up the direction of north and south, and you can see only a small section at a time. But consider what digital navigation aids have meant for someone like me. Despite being a frequent traveler, I’m so terrible at finding my way that I still use Google Maps almost every day in the small town where I have lived for many years. What seems unnecessary to some has been a significant expansion of my own capabilities.Part of the problem is that reading paper maps requires a specific skill set. There is nothing natural about them. In many developed nations, street names and house numbers are meaningful, and instructions such as “go north for three blocks and then west” usually make sense. In Istanbul, in contrast, where I grew up, none of those hold true. For one thing, the locals rarely use street names, and house numbers often aren’tsequentialeither because after buildings 1, 2 and 3 were built, someone squeezed in another house between 1 and 2, and now that’s 4. But then 5 will maybe get built after 3, and 6 will be between 2 and 3. Besides, the city is full of winding and ancient streets that meet with newer ones. Therefore, instructions as simple as “go north” would require a helicopter. I got lost all the time.But since I used Google Maps, I travel with a lot more confidence, and my world has opened up. And because I go to more places more confidently, I believe my native navigation skills have somewhat improved, too.That brings me back to my original question: while we often lose some skills after seeking convenience from technology, this new setup may also allow us to expand our capabilities and do something more confidently. Maybe when technology closes a door, we should also look for the doors it opens.4. How does the author feel about Google Maps?A Confusing. B. Unnecessary. C. Complicated. D. Helpful.5. Which contributes to the difficulty of finding ways in Istanbul?A. Strange street names.B. Ordinary paper maps.C. Complex road arrangements.D. Lack of road instructions.6. What does the underlined word “sequential” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?A. In a fixed order.B. In good condition.C. Of great importance.D. Of the same kind.7. What column of a newspaper may this passage belong to?A. Fashion.B. Opinion.C. Society.D. Geography.CA new study finds almost one third of the world’s population is overweight. Since 1980, obesity rates(肥胖率)in children and adults have doubled in 73 countries, making people more worried. And rates are increasing in many other countries. Obesity is increasing faster in children than adults in many nations, including Algeria, Turkey and Jordan, the report said. But the world's weight problem is growing in both rich and poor countries alike. Researchers say an increasing number of people are dying of related health problems in what they called a "disturbing global public health problem."Researchers studied health information from 1980 through 2015. They examined obesity rates, average weight gain in 195 countries. They found that obesity rates are three times greater among youth and young adults in countries like China, Brazil and India. Almost 108 million children and more than 600 million adults were found to be overweight. Egypt had the highest number of overweight adults in 2015. Vietnam had the least. In the same year, the United States had the highest number of overweight children, and Bangladesh had the least.Yet hunger remains a problem in many areas. The United Nations said that almost 800 million people, including 300 million children, go to bed hungry each night. Experts said poor diets and lack of physical activity are mainly to blame for the rising numbers of overweight people.Growing populations have led to rising obesity rates in poor countries. Often, poor people will eat processed(加工的) foods instead of choosing a diet rich in vegetables.The London-based Overseas Development Institute studied the price of food in five countries: Britain, Brazil, China, Mexico and South Korea. It found that the cost of processed foods like ice creamand hamburgers has fallen since 1990. But the cost of fresh fruits and vegetables has gone up.8. What do we know about obesity in the world?A. It is worryingB. It is given no attentionC. It has been successfully solvedD. It is more serious among old people9. Which country has the most overweight children in 2015?A. AmericaB. VietnamC. EgyptD. Bangladesh10. What is one of the reasons why people get overweight?A. HungerB. Poor dietC. Diets with vegetablesD. Eating too much fruit11. Which ofthe following can be the best title for the text?A. It’s Important to Have a Balanced DietB. How Can We Lose Weight and Keep Fit?C. Is It Necessary for Us to Eat Fresh Vegetables?D. Nearly One Third of People in the World Are Overweight.DA satellite is about to demonstrate a new way of capturing space junk with magnets for the first time. With the frequency of space launches dramatically increasing in recent years, the potential for a disastrous collision above Earth is continually growing. Now, Japanese orbital clean-up company Astroscale is testing a potential solution.The firm's End-of-Life Services by Astroscale demonstration mission is scheduled to lift off on 20 March aboard a Russian Soyuz rocket. It consists of two spacecraft: a smal “client” satellite and a larger “servicer” satellite, or “chaser”. The smaller satellite is equipped with a magnetic (磁力的) plate which allows the chaser todock withit.The two stacked spacecraft will perform three tests once in orbit, each of which will involve the servicer satellite releasing and then recapturing the client satellite. The first test will be the simplest, with the client satellite drifting a short distance away and then being recaptured. In the second test, the servicer satellite will set the client satellite tumbling before catching up with it and matching its motion to grab it.Finally, if those two tests go well, the chaser will live up to its name by letting the client satellite float a few hundred metres away before finding it and attaching to it. All of these tests will be performed autonomously, with little to no human input once they are set in motion.“These kinds of demonstrations have never been done before in space - they are very different to, say, anastronaut controlling a robotic arm on the International Space Station,” says Jason Forshaw at AstroscaleUK.“This is more of an autonomous mission.” At the end of the tests, both spacecraft will burn up in Earth's atmosphere.If companies wanted to use this capability, they would have to attach a magnetic plate to their satellites so they could be captured later. Because of the growing space garbage problem, many countries now require firms to have a way to bring back their satellites once they run out of fuel or fail, so this could be a fairly simple likely plan, Forshaw says. Right now, each chaser can only nab one satellite, but Astroscale is working on a version that could drag three or four out of orbit at once.12. Which of the following can replace the underlined word "dock with" in Paragraph 2?A. Deal with.B. Keep up with.C. Join together.D. Crash.13. Why many countries now require firms to have a way to bring back their satellites?A. Because of the growing space waste problem.B. Because the frequency of space launches are dramatically increasing.C. Because they can earn large profits from it.D. Because Astroscale has found a new method of capturing the space garbage.14. What will Astroscale do to solve the space junk problem?A. An astronaut controls a robotic arm on the International Space to capture the “client” satellite.B. Through a magnetic plate remotely controlled by humans on the ground to catch the “client” satellite.C. Finding the "client "satellite and attaching to it with a magnetic plate automatically.D. Tumbling to match the motion of “client satellite the drag three or four satellites out of its orbit into atmosphere.15. What can we infer from the passage?A. People will bum the space junk up in Earth's atmosphere in the future.B. Japan andRussiawill conduct space debris cleanup experiment together.C. These kinds of demonstrations have never been done before.D. The demonstration mission will be divided into three phases.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。

If you prefer the songWhen You Believe, which theater should you go to?A. Dominion Theater.B. Lyceuwm Theater.C. Aldwych Theater.D. Egypt Theater.BIt is a question people have been asking for ages. Is there a way to turn back the aging process?For centuries, people have been looking for a “fountain of youth”. The idea is that if you find a magical fountain, and drink from its waters, you will not age.Researchers in New York did not find an actual fountain of youth, but they may have found a way to turn back the aging process. It appears the answer may be hidden right between your eyes, in an area called the hypothalamus (下丘脑). The hypothalamus is part of your brain. It controls important activities within the body.Researchers at New York’s Albert Einstein College of Medicine found that hypothalamus neural (神经的) stem cells also influence how fast aging takes place in the body.What are stem cells(干细胞)? They are simple cells that can develop into specialized cells, like blood or skin cells. Stem cells can also repair damaged tissues and organs.Dongsheng Cai is a professor at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine. He was the lead researcher in a study on aging in mice. He and his team reported their findings in the journal Nature, Cai explained when hypothalamus function is in decline, particularly the loss of hypothalamus stem cells, and this protection against the aging development is lost. it eventually leads to aging.Using this information, the researchers began trying to activate, or energize, the hypothalamus laboratory mice. They did this by injecting the animals with stem cells, Later, the researchers examined tissues and tested for changes in behavior. They looked for changes in the strength and coordination (协调) of the animals muscles. They also studied the social behavior and cognitive ability of the mice. The researchers say the results show that thetreatment slowed aging in the animals, Cai says injecting middle-aged mice with stem cells from younger mice helped the older animals live longer.But these results were just from studying mice in a laboratory. If the mice can live longer, does that mean people could have longer lives? The next step is to see if the anti-aging effects also work in.4. In Paragraph 2 a “fountain of youth” is mentioned to ________.A. introduce the main topicB. show a hidden secret.C. describe scientists researchD. recommend a way to stay young5. Aging takes place in the body when _______.A. stem cells develop into specialized cellsB. there are important activities within the bodyC. hypothalamus neural stem cells fail to protect against agingD. the hypothalamus fails to repair damaged tissues and organs6. What do we know about the researchers at Albert Einstein College of Medicine from the text?A. They did experiments to see how stem cells work.B. They studied mice to find their connection with humans.C. They have found a possible way to slow the aging progress.D. They have found no changes in mice s behavior during the experiment7. What will the researchers probably do next?A. They will help some animals live longer.B. They will announce the fountain of youth doesn’t existC. They will develop products to help people live a longer life immediatelyD. They will do research to see if what they have found in mice will apply to humans.CA Chinese space mining company has designed a robot that can capture waste material left behind by spacecraft in outer space with a big net.The state-run Xinhua news agency recently reported that the robot launched on the government's Long March 6 rocket along with several satellites. The robot will also investigate deep space to observe small objects in the universe. The 30-kilogram robot, called NEO-01 , was developed by Origin Space. Pounded in 2019 and basedin the southern Chinese tech hub(技术中心)Shenzhen, Origin Space has been devoted to exploring and using space resources, according to the company. The company says the robot will lead the way for future technologies capable of mining on asteroids(小行星).The world's first asteroid mining company, Planetary Resources, was established in 2009. Since then, more than 12 businesses around the world have entered the industry, including 3D Systems of the United States and Japan's Astroscale. Astroscale's technology uses magnets (磁铁)to gather up space waste. But a report on the Origin Space website says NEO-01 will use a net to capture waste and then bum it. Thousands of satellites have been launched worldwide. As they are used too long, many end up as waste and put other operating satellites at risk.Su Meng is the founder of Origin Space. He said the company plans to launch many space telescopes and more spacecraft to begin the first for-profit mining of asteroids by 2045. Su added that NEO-01 will serve as a prototype (雏形)of future space mining robots, which can use rich mineral resources on asteroids to support the development of the space industry.The Xinhua news agency reported that China was increasing efforts to land a spacecraft on a near-Earth asteroid to collectmaterials. China is also speeding up a plan to build a defense system against near-Earth asteroids. The country aims to follow Russia and the United States in becoming a major space power by 2030.8. Which of the following can correctly describe NEO-01?A. It weighs 60 kilograms.B. It was created by Planetary Resources.C. It will be burnt after finishing its mission.D. It is mainly used to catch space waste.9. What can be inferred from the text?A. China will be the most powerful in space by 2030.B. Origin Space will open more mines on asteroids.C. It is those useless satellites that make space waste.D. The robot will look into deep space for more waste.10. What does Su Meng think of NEO-01 ?A. It is promising and rewarding.B. It has benefited the space industry.C. It's a long way to produce it.D. It'll help make money for the company.11. What can be the best title for the text?A. NEO-01 , A Smart Robot Used in SpaceB. A Chinese Robot Can Catch Space WasteC. A New Robot Makes China a SpacePowerD. NEO-01 , the Pioneer of Future Space RobotsDThe regular world presented to us by our five senses — you could call it reality 1.0 — is not always the most user-friendly. We get lost in unfamiliar cities; we meet people whose language we don’t understand. So why not try the improved version: augmented reality(AR)or reality 2.0 ? AR technology adds computer-produced images on the real world via a mobile phone camera or special video glasses.Early forms of AR are already here — smart phones can deliver information about nearby ATMs and restaurants and other points of interest. But that’s just the beginning. A few years from now the quantity of information available will have increased hugely. You will not only see that there’s a Chinese restaurant on the next block, but you will be able to see the menu and read reviews of it.This is where the next revolution in computing will take place: in the interface(界面)between the real world and the information brought to us via the Internet. Imagine bubbles floating before your eyes, filled with cool information about anything and everything that you see in front of you.Let’s jump ahead to ten years from now. A person trying to fix a car won’t be reading a book with pictures; he will be wearing a device that projects animated 3D computer graphics onto the equipment under repair, labelling parts and giving step-by-step guidance.The window onto the AR world can be a smart phone or special video glasses. But in ten years’ time these will have been replaced by contact lenses(隐形眼镜) with tiny LEDs, which present something at a readable distance in front of eyes. So a deaf person wearing these lenses will be able to see what people are saying.The question is, while we are all absorbed in our new augmented reality world, how willwe be communicating with each other?12. What is the text mainly about?A. The relationship between reality 1.0 and reality 2.0.B. Different forms of the AR technology.C. The next information technology revolution.D. The popularity of the AR technology.13. Which of the following will AR technology support according to the text?A. To pay for things online conveniently.B. To play online games merrily.C. To offer information efficiently.D. To communicate with others socially.14. What are Contact lenses with tiny LEDs used for?A. Show texts and images.B. Protect people’s eyes.C. Help deaf people communicate.D. Replace smart phone.15. What’s the author’s attitude towards the AR technology?A. Indifferent.B. Critical.C. Concerned.D. Favourable.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。

At the time of the Lewis and Clark expedition (探险队) , which was one of the first journeys by Americans from the Atlantic coast to the Pacific coast and back again, the Nez Perce territory (领土) covered about 17 million acres, covering parts of Washington, Oregon, and Idaho. Butthat was a brief sweet history.In September 1805, when Lewis and Clark came off theRockieson their westward journey, the entire exploring party was hungry and ill -- too weak to defend themselves.Had the Nez Perce chosen to attack them, they could have put an end to the Lewis and Clark expedition there on the banks ofClearwater River. Instead the Nez Perce welcomed the white Americans and looked after them until they made a full recovery. Thus began a long friendship between the Nez Perce and white Americans. But white men’s greed for land and gold finally broke the friendship.In 1855 Governor Isaac Stevens ofWashingtonTerritoryinvited the Nez Perce to a peace conference. He said there were a great many white people in the country, and many more would come. But the Chief of the tribe at that time, Old Joseph, replied, “Take away your paper. I will not touch it with my hand.”Things were quiet for a while after that, but not for long. When Old Joseph died, the chiefship was passed onto Young Joseph. In the late 1870s, government officials came to order the Nez Perce to leave theWallowaValleyand then began hard battles between the Nez Perce and the white soldiers. After the tribe had fought thirteen battles and moved 1,600 miles to-wards Canada in an attempt to retreat(撤退) north, Young Joseph, gave in to the United States Army. Here was his famous statement, “Hear me my chiefs. I am tired; my heart is sick and sad. From where the sun now stands I will fight no more forever.”In 1885, Chief Joseph was sent along with manyof his band to the Colville Reservation inWashingtonwhere Joseph continued to lead his band for another 25 years, at times coming into conflict with the leaders of 11 othertribes living on the reservation.(保留地,居留地)8.

Astroscale's technology uses magnets (磁铁)to gather up space waste. But a report on the Origin Space website says NEO-01 will use a net to capture waste and then bum it. Thousands of satellites have been launched worldwide. As they are used too long, many end up as waste and put other operating satellites at risk.Su Meng is the founder of Origin Space. He said the company plans to launch many space telescopes and more spacecraft to begin the first for-profit mining of asteroids by 2045. Su added that NEO-01 will serve as a prototype (雏形)of future space mining robots, which can use rich mineral resources on asteroids to support the development of the space industry.The Xinhua news agency reported that China was increasing efforts to land a spacecraft on a near-Earth asteroid to collectmaterials. China is also speeding up a plan to build a defense system against near-Earth asteroids. The country aims to follow Russia and the United States in becoming a major space power by 2030.12. Which of the following can correctly describe NEO-01?A. It weighs 60 kilograms.B. It was created by Planetary Resources.C. It will be burnt after finishing its mission.D. It is mainly used to catch space waste.13. What can be inferred from the text?A. China will be the most powerful in space by 2030.B. Origin Space will open more mines on asteroids.C. It is those useless satellites that make space waste.D. The robot will look into deep space for more waste.14. What does Su Meng think of NEO-01 ?A. It is promising and rewarding.B. It has benefited the space industry.C. It's a long way to produce it.D. It'll help make money for the company.15. What can be the best title for the text?A. NEO-01 , A Smart Robot Used in SpaceB. A Chinese Robot Can Catch Space WasteC. A New Robot Makes China a SpacePowerD. NEO-01 , the Pioneer of Future Space Robots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。

I became terribly nervous. I searched in my pockets to see if there were any cigarettes, which had escaped their search. I found one and because of my shaking hands, I could barely get it to my lips. But I had no matches, they had taken those. I looked through the bars at my jailer. He did not make eye contact with me.I called out to him “Have you got a light?” He looked at me, shrugged and came over to light my cigarette. As he came close and lit the match, his eyes inadvertently(不经意地)locked with mine. At that moment, I smiled. I don't know why I did that. Perhaps it was nervousness, perhaps it was because, when you get very close, one to another, it is very hard not to smile. In any case, I smiled. In that instant, it was as though a spark jumped across the gap between our two hearts, our two human souls. I know he didn't want to, but my smile leaped through the bars and generated a smile on his lips, too. He lit my cigarette but stayed near, looking at me directly in the eyes and continuing to smile."I kept smiling at him, now aware of him as a person and not just a jailer. And his looking at me seemed to have a new dim ension too. “Do you have kids?”he asked.“ Yes, here, here.” I took out my wallet and nervously fumbled for the pictures of my family. He, too, took out the pictures of his family and began to talk about his plans and hopes for them. My eyes filled with tears. I said that I feared that I'd never see my family again, never have the chance to see them grow up. Tears came to his eyes, too. "Suddenly, without another word, he unlocked my cell and silently led me out. Out of the jail, quietly and by back routes, out of the town. There, at the edge of town, he released me. And without another word, he turned back toward the town.“My life was saved by a smile.” Yes, the smile― the unaffected, unplanned, natural connection between people. I really believe that if that part of you and that part of me could recognize each other, we wouldn't be enemies. We couldn't have hate or envy or fear!56. Why did the author smiled to the jailer first?A. Because he wanted to make friends with the jailer.B. The reason was unknown to him and us.C. Because he wanted to share the cigarette with the jailer.D. Because he wanted to give a good impression on the jailer.57. Which of the following is the right order according to the story?a. I was set free at the edge of town.b. I wanted to borrow a light from the jailer.c. I was arrested and quite frightened. d. I took out the pictures of my familye. The jailer took out the pictures of his family.A. c, b, d, e, aB. b, c, d, a, eC. c, b, e, d, aD. c, d, e, b, a58. It can be inferred from the passage that ________A. Before the author was released, he had stayed there for a long time.B. The jailer was punished by his leader at last.C. The author had no chance to see his family again.D. Both of the author and the jailer loved their families very much59. What is the best title of the passage?A. The smileB. Life in the jail.C. .The use of smileD. Love is everywhere.BIs there a magic cutoff period when offspring become accountable for their own actions? Is there a wonderful moment when parents can become spectators (旁观者) in the lives of their children and shrug, "It' s their life," and feel nothing?When I was in my twenties, I stood in a hospital corridor waiting for doctors to put a few stitches in my son' s head. I was asked, "When do you stop worrying?" A nurse said, "When they get out of the accident stage." My mother just smiled faintly and said nothing.When I was in my thirties, I sat on a little chair in a classroom and heard how one of my children talked incessantly, disrupted (打断) the class, and was headed for a career making license plates. As if to read my mind, a teacher said, "Don't worry. They all go through this stage, and then you can sit back, relax, and enjoy them." My mother listened and said nothing.When I was in my forties, I spent a lifetime waiting for the phone to ring and the cars to come home, the front door to open.My friends said that when my kids got married I could stop worrying and lead my own life. I wanted to believe that, but I was haunted by my mother' s wan ( 淡淡的) smile and her occasional words, "You look pale. Are you all right? Call me the minute you get home."Can it be that parents are sentenced to a lifetime of worry? Is concern for one another handed down like a torch to blaze the trail of human frailties and the fears of the unknown? Is concern a curse? Or is it a virtue that elevates us to the highest form of life?One of my children became quite irritable recently, saying to me, "Where were you? I' ve been calling for three days, and no one answered. I was worried! ! !"I smiled a wan smile.60. What can we know about the author’s mother from the passage?A. She has a thorough understanding of the author.B. She is not concerned about the author.C. She seems to laugh at the author.D. She tries to give the author some encouragement.61. What did the author do in her forties?A. She would like her children to see her often.B. She couldn't stop worrying about her childrenC. She was less concerned about her children.D. She became more patient with her children.62. Why did the author smile a wan smile at the end of the passage?A. She wanted to learn from her mother.B. She got a kind of satisfaction from her chil d’s concern.C. She succeeded in tricking her children.D. She stopped worrying about her children at last.63. The main purpose of the passage is to tell us that ________.A. parents show more concern for their childrenB. Parents’ love for their children is selflessC. the concern between parents and children is natural.D. parents will worry about their children all their lives.CChinese students aren’t the only ones who have a sleep loss problem. In Australia, teenagers are also missing, on average, one ho ur’s sleep every night during the school week.Organized activities and homework push bedtimes later, the first large-scale Australian study of children’s sleeping habits has shown. Their sleep deprivation (剥夺) is enough to cause “serious drop-offs in school performance, attention and memory”, and governments should consider later or flexible school start times, said the study’s leader, Tim Olds.His survey, of more than 4,000 children aged 9 to 18, found those who slept least did not watch more television but spent their time socializing (相处) with family or friends or listening to music.“Almost all children get up at 7 or 7:15 —they have to get to school on time,” said Olds. He favors a later start over an earlier finish because he believes organized sports and activities would still consume the latter end of the day.Olds’ research also establishes lack of sleep as a cause of weight gain in children, and a possible source of future problems with depression, anxiety and increased susceptibility (易感性) to illness.It was already known that overweight children sleep less, but Professor Olds found sleep duration(时长) was strongly linked to weight across the full range of body sizes. The thinnest children sleep inutes more than the obese. This showed being overweight had no specific effect on sleep patterns, and it was more likely that shorter sleep times stimulate (刺激) appetite and make kids hungry.The US National Sleep Foundation says teenagers aged 13 to 18 need eight to nine hours’ sleep a night. Younger school-aged kids need 9 to 11 hours.On that basis, Professor Olds said, half of Australian children are under-sleeping on weekdays and a quarter on weekends.64.The Australian students surveyed don’t sleep enough because they spend more time on the following EXCEPT _________.A. watching television programsB. organized activities and homeworkC. enjoying musicD. communication with friends and family65. What effects does lack of sleep directly have on the students according to the survey?A. They become overweight but begin to eat less than before.B. They feel more depressed and anxious about their school work.C. They are more likely to be affected with illness in the future.D. They pay less attention in class and their memory declines.66. Which of the following suggestions did Mr. Olds make?A. The school should finish earlier in the afternoon.B. The students should go to bed earlier to have longer sleeping time.C. The students should participate less in organized activities.D. The school should put off the start time in the morning.67. Which of the following statements is TRUE?A. Being overweight has an effect on the length of the sleeping time.B. More students are short of sleep on weekends than on weekdays.C. Australian students usually take part in activities in the afternoon.D. The survey suggests that teenagers need 9-11 hours’ sleep a night.DCustom tattooed fish (纹身鱼) may be big sellers at markets, but an animal expert say it is a cruel and potentiallylethal practice.In Laitai Flower and Fish Market near the Lufthansa Center in Beijing, four of over ish stores sell marine ornamental fish that are tattooed using laser (激光) guns with beautiful images in order to make them more attractive to customers. Many people just love these kinds of fish, which gives them a unique visual impression. The price of these fish ranges from 50-100 yuan. Some customers are willing to pay an additional 100 yuan to have Chinese ch aracters tattooed on to the fish. The most popular characters are “zhaocai” (attracting fortune) and “fu” (blessing).The color of tattooed fish won’t fade away, and the fish can be cared for as regular fishes: But Ye Zhenjiang, a professor from the Oce an University of China, said “the practice would damage a fish’s mackerel scale, which is its protective layer Although I haven’t done any research on the impact of the laser on mackerel scale, it is obvious that the mackerel scale may be infected or even destroyed under the exposure of laser,” Ye said. “It’s like tattooing a human being’s body, and it breaks the physiological balance of the fish and damages: the skin’s protective surface, It may even cause death among fishes which have thin mackerel scale.”A specialist in aquatic(永生的) animal study surnamed Xu,from the Beijing Fisheries Research Institute, said, “We have no specific regulations to prevent fish from being tattooed. An official surnamed Bai from the Fishery Surveillance and Administration Bu reau(FSAB), said there is no study showing that the laser threatened a fish’s health. He said a regulation on small animal protection, to be passed in the near future, doesn’t include regular aquatic animals. He said the institution is only responsible for aquatic animals that are on the verge of extinction. He said tattooed fish are mainly from south China’s Guangdong province because Beijing does not have the laser technology to tattoo a fish.“It’s too brutal to tattoo pictures or characters on fishes, even if it makes them more beautiful,” many tropical fish buyers told METRO yesterday. “We would never buy fish like that and we prefer them with natural beauty.”68. Which of the following is NOT true according to the text?A. Tattooed fish can be harder to raise.B. Tattooed fish give people a unique visual impressionC. Tattooed fish look more attractive to customers.D. The color of tattooed fish will stay for ever69. From Ye Zhenjiang’s talk, we know that _________.A. It is illegal to tattoo fish by laser.B. It may be a disaster for fish to be tattooed.C. People can tattoo fish in other parts except mackerel scaleD. The mackerel scale of fish is easy to destroy.70. It can be inferred from the passage that ____________.A. .Beijing did not have the laser technology to tattoo a fish.B. The FSAB will pass a regulation on tattooed fish.C. The price of tattooed fish is much higher than that of regular fishD. The youth would buy tattooed fish the moment they see them.第四部分任务型阅读(共10小题,每小题1分,满分10分)认真阅读下面短文,并根据所读内容在文章后表格的空格处填入最恰当的单词。
