Some people think that water ices and milk ices may have been made by the Chinese between three thousand and a thousand years ago. In that time, the dish reached India. The Indians, in turn, many have passed on the secret to the Arabs and Persians.Marco Polo, an Italian who travelled widely in the thirteenth century, noted that he found the Chinese had long been making ices out of fruit juices and milk. From the fourteenth century on, ices became popular first in Venice and then throughout Italy.In 1535, when Catherine de Medeicis left Italy to marry the future King Herry II of France, she took her cooks with her. They made desserts the French had never tasted before, which was ice cream.At first ice cream was a luxury in France. Only rich people had the money to buy it. Then, in 1660, a young man from Sicily, Francisco Procopio, arrived in Paris. He opened a shop that sold ice cream at prices people could afford. Then his ice cream became so popular that other shops were opened.About 1640, King Charles introduced ice cream to England and soon ice cream quickly became popular in England too.1．Ice cream was unknown in France until ________.A. 1535B. 1660C. 1640D. 17742．Ice cream was introduced to England by _________.A.

The special attention to employee happiness and work/life balance makes that family possible. The flexible work environment enables most employees to create a schedule that best suits their personal needs—whether it’s attendi ng a school play or taking an aging parent to the doctor. The Work/Life Office has a wealth of resources for college planning, anger management, sorrow, etc. But, as you can see, it doesn’t stop there. Most employees believe that SAS is their family. We rely on each other. We help each other succeed. We celebrate team successes. We hang out after work. Our kids play together.

Over the course of three experiments on 35 young and healthy volunteers, researchers in a new study measured brain activity during two continuous nights of sleep.Sasaki and colleagues performed a series of lab tests by stimulating the left and then the right hemisphere(大脑的半球)with sounds. On the second night, there wasn’t any difference in reactions to tests between the left and right hemispheres, even during deep sleep. This suggests that there is a first-night-only effect specifically in one hemisphere of the brain during deep sleep, the authors conclude. The way participants responded to the sleep lab tests points to the potential for the brain to be on high alert for danger during the first night in unfamiliar surroundings. While this may be bad news for business travelers who regularly make brief overnight trips, it may not be as troublesome for people who go away for longer periods of time, Sasaki added by email. “Frequent travel may lead to unrestful sleep,” Sasaki said. “But if you stay for a few days at the same place, your sleep might catch up.”Some birds have been found to actually sleep with one eye open and one side of the brain awa ke when they’re in a dangerous setting, and some marine mammals have similar abilities, the authors note. But the new study focuses on healthy volunteers but not people with insomnia or other sleep disorders, the authors note.“The clinical implications haven’t been confirmed at the moment,” Finan, a psychiatry (精神医学)and behavioral health researcher said. “However, the level of specificity provided by these analyses could be an important first stepin understanding what sleep disorders like insomnia(失眠) arise from, which is thought to be driven in many patients by continuing having a lot of worries.”13．What do the underlined words “may not be too far off the mark” in Paragraph 1 mean?A. may make senseB. may be ridiculous.C. may cause argumentsD. may be disturbing.14．What can we know from Paragraph 2?A. People are used to waking up and going to bed early when travelling.B. Business travelers usually have a brief sleep at night.C. It brings much trouble to those who stay far away from their homes.D. It takes time for people to adapt themselves to a new environment.15．According to Finan, the study is helpful in ________.A. finding out the root cause of sleep disordersB. telling the effect of worries on sleep disordersD. offering ways to free the patients from the suffering of sleep disorders第二节（共5小题，每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项.选项中有两项为多余选项.Have you ever had the following experience?

Grammar and V ocabularySection ADirections: After reading the passage below, fill in the blanks to make the passage coherent and r the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word; for the other blanks, use one word that best fits each blank4/ 22A well-known landscape photographerAlexander Henderson was born in Scotland in 1831 and was the son of a successful merchant. He spent much of his childhood (21)_______ (play) on the beach or fishing in the streams nearby. In 1849 he began a three-year apprenticeship to become an accountant. Although he never liked the prospect of a business career, he stayed with it (22)_______ (please) his family.Learning photography in Montreal around the year 1857, Henderson quickly took (23) _______ up as a serious amateur. Later, he became a personal friend and colleague of the Scottish Canadian photographer William Notman. (24)_______ their friendship, their styles of photography were quite different. While Notman's landscapes (25) _______ (note) for their bold realism, Henderson for the first 20 years of his career produced romantic images (26)_______ _______ _______ he published his first major collection of landscape photographs in 1865, he gained great fame for reflecting the romantic British landscape tradition in his works. The publication had limited circulation (only seven copies have ever been found), where the contents of each copy (27)_______(vary) significantly and proved a useful source for evaluating Henderson's early work.In 1866, he gave up his business to open a photographic studio, (28) _______ (advertise) himself as portrait and landscape photographer. From about 1870 he dropped portraiture to specialize in landscape photography and other views. His numerous photographs of city life (29)_______ (reveal) in street scenes, houses, and markets are alive with human activity. There was sufficient demand for these types of scenes and others he took depicting the pearl trade, steamboats and waterfalls to enable him to make a living.In 1892 Henderson accepted a full-time position with the CPR as manager of a photographic department (30)_______ he was to set up and administer. That summer he made his trip west, photographing extensively along the railway line as far as Victoria. He continued in this post until 1897, when he retired completely from photography.Section BDirections: Fill in each blank with a proper word chosen from the box. Each word can5/ 22be used only once. Note that there is one word more than you need.Mars -- the next frontierIt sounds like something from the fields of science fiction--a space expedition into the vast 31_______ of space, heading towards the Red Planet. While we're not quite ready to put a person on land, the question we ask today is: why are so many countries interested in going to Mars?The space race saw the USA and USSR 32_______ to achieve firsts in spaceflight. The Soviet Union released Sputnik 1, an artificial satellite, before anyone else, and the US landed on the Moon first. Now it appears that Mars is the celestial body of desire. While the honour of being the first nation to touchdown is an obvious 33_______ , there are other reasons we want to get there.One of these could be the 34_______ of our species You only have to look at the fossilised remains of the dinosaurs to see the benefit of finding another 35_______ planet. While Mars doesn't have the right conditions to call it home just yet, there's always the idea of terraforming-- changing the environment of a planet to 36_______ our needs to live.However, not everyone agrees. Leading astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson has said the 37_______of altering habitability of another planet because of the damage we have done to Earth is not 38_______ when we can simply terraform Earth.It seems he main reason at the moment is the search for signs of life. It has long been believed that, at one time, Mars was abundant with life. Now seemingly dead, the 39_______ fossils could answer questions about our own evolution and that of our planet. One theory is that bacterial life on our planet didn't start here, but was transferred via asteroid (小行星) from Mars.One benefit 40_______ by scientists like Neil deGrasse Tyson is that landing on Mars may inspire more people to become interested in science and astronomy. Surely6/ 22inspiring a new generation to visit the stars is reason enough.III. Reading ComprehensionSection ADirections: For each blank in the following passages there are four words or phrases marked A, B C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.Moral sentiments countOrganizations and societies rely on fines and rewards to control people's self-interest in the service of the common good. The 41_______ of a ticket keeps drivers in line, and the promise of a bonus inspires high performance. But incentives (激励) can also 42_______, minifying the very behavior they're meant to encourage.A generation ago, Richard Titmuss claimed that paying people to donate blood43 _______ the supply. Economists were skeptical, citing a lack of scientific evidence. But since then, new data and models have prompted a sea change in how economists think about incentives--showing, among other things, that Titmuss was right in so many cases that businesses should 44_______.Experimental economists have found that offering to pay women for donating blood decreases the number willing to donate by almost half, and that letting them contribute the payment to charity 45_______ the effect. Dozens of recent experiments show that rewarding self-interest with economic incentives can have the opposite result when they destroy what Adam Smith called "the moral sentiments(情绪)”. The psychology here has escaped blackboard economists, but it will be no surprise to people in business: When we take a job or buy a car, we are not only trying to get stuff-- we are also trying to be a certain kind of person. 46_______ , people desire to be respected by others as ethical and 47_______. And they don't want to be taken for losers. Rewarding blood donations may not serve the intended purpose because it suggests that the donor is less interested in being 48_______ than in making a dollar. Incentives also run into trouble when they signal that the employer 49_______ the employee or is greedy. Close supervision of workers coupled with 50_______ for performance is textbook economics, but it can lead to the depression of employees.7/ 22Perhaps most important, incentives affect what our actions signal, whether we're being self-interested or civic-minded, manipulated or trusted and they can imply--sometimes wrongly--what 51_______ us. Fines or public criticism that appeal to our moral sentiments by signaling social disapproval (think of littering) can be highly effective. But incentives go wrong when they 52_______ or diminish our ethical sensibilities.This does not mean it's 53_______ to appeal to self-interested and ethical motivations at the same time--just that efforts to do so often fail. 54_______ , policies support socially valued ends not only by controlling self-interest but also by encouraging public-spiritedness. The small tax on plastic grocery bags passed by law in Ireland in 2002 that resulted in their virtual elimination appears to have had such an effect. It punished offenders 55_______ while conveying a moral message. Carrying a plastic bag joined wearing a fur coat in the gallery of anti-social anachronisms.41. A.temptation B.threat C.value D.equivalent42. A. overflow B.backfire C. survive D. work43. A.reduced B. affected C. afforded D.balanced44. A. cut back B. stand by C. take note D. hold on45. A.cause B. reverse C. take D. detect46. A. In other words B. On the contrary C. By contrast D. In addition47 A. satisfied B.determined C. dignified D.discouraged48. A. unselfish B. ambitious C. thoughtful D. aggressive49. A. boasts B. values C. encourages D. mistrusts50. A. requirement B. criticism C. implication D. reward51. A. supports B. threatens C. motivates D.changes52.A.refine B. offend C.control D. arouse53. A. impossible B.strange C. necessary D. abnormal54. A. Rarely B. Occasionally C. Surprisingly D.Ideally8/ 2255. A. publicly B.severely C. monetarily D. mildlySection BDirections: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)Wonder materialMaurice Ward and his family ran ladies' hairdresser’s in Yorkshire, England. Ward was an inventor by nature and liked to mix his own hair dyes and products, claiming that they were more effective than the products supplied by cosmetics manufacturers like L'Oreal and Garnier. In the 1980s his inventiveness found a new outlet when he bought an industrial extruder--a machine that forms plastics-and began experimenting with making different types of sheet plastic. Then in 1985 something happened which was to change his life.A British Airtours plane bound for Corfu caught fire at Manchester Airport just before it took off. Although the plane was still on the ground, the results of the fire were destructive within forty seconds, 55 of the people inside died from smoke and poisonous air breathed in. Ward determined that he would make a material that would be much more fire-resistant than the plastics from which the interior was largely constructed. He began trying out different mixtures in a kitchen food blender. When he found a formulation that looked promising, he would shape it into sheet form and then test its fire resistance. The results got better and better until finally he hit on a material that would resist temperatures of 2, 500 C, not give off poisonous air and still remain cool enough to be touched. Starlite was bornYet here we are, thirty years on, and Starlite is still an unpatented and unexploited material. So what went wrong?Naturally, Ward kept the formula a secret. He never wrote it down, only telling the exact proportions of its 21 ingredients to a few of his closest family members. He refused to apply for a patent, since that would involve revealing its composition. No9/ 22one else was allowed to analyse it nor was any company given a sample for fear that they might reverse-engineer it.Consequently, no deal was ever struck and in May 2011 Maurice Ward died. It would be incorrect to say that he took his secret to the grave because some of the family still know it, but he certainly took his own dreams of personal wealth and fame with him. Why? Was it greed? Was it that, as an amateur, he felt a lack of respect from the scientific community? Or was he simply too protective of his idea to share it with others? We may never know. What is certain is that his loss is the world’s loss, too.56. What can we most probably infer about Maurice Ward according to the passage?A. He preferred fame to money.B.He was born with a creative spirit.C. He opposed established institutions.D. He got his genius partly from his parents.57. How did Ward develop Starlite?A. He converted it in the kitchen food blender.B. He found the material from the interior of planes.C. He got inspiration from the hair dyes and products.D. He experimented with materials and examined their fire-resistance.58. Which of the following statements about Starlite is TRUE?A. Its secret died with Maurice Ward.B. It gets warmer than plastics when heated.C. It could have brought Maurice great wealth.D. Some company reverse-engineered it without permission.59. We can learn from the passage that _______ .A. Innovation requires lots of efforts and deserves protection10/ 22B. The protectiveness of an invention may cause the world great losses.C. The big companies' ill intentions are to blame for the loss of Starlite.D. The neglect of talented people may cost the world valuable discoveries.(B)Things you need to know about your STRESS right nowAfter 60 years of research, scientists have determined what provokes stress. There's even a handy acronym: NUTS.N is for Novelty: This is something new you've not experienced before, like the first day of school or a new job.U is for Unpredictability: When you don't know how something is going to take shape, as is the case during a trip to the dentist.T is for Threat to the Ego: When your competence is threatened, such as in front of colleagues. We're very sensitive to this.S is for Sense of Control: When you feel you have little or no control over the situation, like being stuck in traffic.It's helpful to identify your sources of stress, because a problem well-defined is a problem almost solved. The opposite of stress is not relaxation---it's resilience. If you tell your brain that you can deal with this, it will stop producing the stress hormone and you will calm down11/ 22Get on your bike!As various bits of research have shown, cycling will lower your stress levels, whether you're doing a quick errand or committing to a lifetime on two wheels.15 MINUTES LATERA 2013 study out of Japan showed a marked drop in people's stress levels after they pedalled for just 15 minutes on a stationary bike.AN HOUR LATERResearchers found in 2015 that, compared to their cycling colleagues, those who drove or took the subway breathed more shallowly an hour later---a sure sign of stress.18 YEARS LATERAfter following 17,985 adult commuters for 18 years, U.K. researchers discovered in 2014 that those who walked or biked reported being happier, more confident and better able to face their problems.①____________In a 2015 study, researchers subjected 66 teen girls to a stress test. Some of them held their mothers' hands during the test; others had to go it alone. The girls who hadcontact with their moms were able to manage stress more effectively. It's what psychologists refer to as emotional load sharing.②____________In a 2007 UCLA study, some patients hospitalized for heart failure spent 12 minutes with a therapy dog, while another group interacted with a volunteer. The dogcrowd experienced greater decreases in their anxiety level compared to those patients whose visitors could actually talk back.60. __________---may suffer the most stress relatively.A. Luna, 19--she has well prepared for her first internship with the help of her mother12/ 22B. Tom, 29-his first day of work starts at 9: 00 am, but he's in a traffic jam at 8: 50 amC. Karol, 39-she finally had her decayed tooth pulled out last Thursday at the dentist'sD. Jenny, 49-her colleagues are planning to give her a farewell party and she's in the dark61. Which chart can best illustrate the effect of cycling ?A BC D62. Which of the following may best suit the numbered blanks?A. ①Raise your hand! ②Find a volunteer companion!B. ①Raise your hand! ②Get a furry companion!C.①Hug your family! ②Get furry companion!D. ①Hug your family! ②Find a volunteer companion!13/ 22(C)Bretton Woods revisitedOn July 22, 1944, as allied troops were racing across Normandy to liberate Paris, representatives of 44 nations meeting at the Mount Washington resort in Bretton Woods, New Hampshire, created a financial and monetary system for the postwar era, referred to as Bretton Woods system.John Maynard Keynes, leader of the British delegation, was playing a tricky dual role. He had proposed a new monetary system to free the world from the Great Depression. He hoped that the new monetary system, would be the international pillar for the series of domestic measures that came to be known as Keynesian---the use of public spending to cure depression and the regulation of financial markets to prevent downturns caused by failed private financial investments. Keynes was also hoping to restore Britain's prewar position as a leading industrial and financial power. His two roles overlapped, but far from perfectly The Americans shared the British desire to restore world growth, but not to preserve Britain's empire.Keynes wrote to his colleague after the conference that in the new International Monetary Fund, "we have in truth got both in substance and in phrasing all that we could reasonably hope for. "The new World Bank, Keynes declared, offered "grand possibilities. .. The Americans are virtually committing themselves to quite huge untied loans for reconstruction and development.Yet in many respects, Bretton Woods was failure for Keynes and the British. America today is often described as the only surviving superpower, but in 1944 U.S. supremacy was towering. Germany and Japan were on the edge of ruin. Britain had gone massively into debt. The Russians had lost tens of millions of soldiers and civilians. America was unharmed, its casualties were modest by comparison, it held most of the world's financial reserves, and its industrial plant was mightier than ever.Though Keynes inspired Bretton Woods, the Americans won the day. In most matters, a rival design by Keynes's American counterpart, Harry Dexter White, prevailed. White, a left-wing New Dealer serving as No. 2 man at the Department of Treasury, shared Keynes's basic views on money. But the White plan provided a far more modest fund and bank. Instead of the generous extension of wartime lend-lease14/ 22aid that Keynes was promoting, the British had to settle for an American loan, to be repaid with interestThe Bretton Woods system was welcomed as a vast improvement over both the rigid gold standard of pre-1914 and the monetary disorder of the interwar period. For a quarter-century, Bretton Woods enhanced a rare period of steady growth, full employment, and financial stability. But in many respects, the boastful role of the World Bank, the International Monetary Fund, and the Bretton Woods rules specifying fixed exchange rates was a convenient illusion. The system's true pillar was the United States the U.S. dollar as global currency; the U.S. economy as the consumer market for other nations' exports; and U.S. recovery aid in the form of the Marshall Plan, which dwarfed the function of the World Bank.In the early 1970s, the Bretton Woods system came crashing down when domestic inflation forced the United States to devalue its own currency and cease playing the dominant role. Monetary instability and slower growth followed.63. What can we infer from the underlined sentence in paragraph 3?A. Keynes was satisfied with the outcome of the conference.B. Keynes further explained the idea of monetary reform he presented.C. Keynes emphasized the importance of having a new World Bank.D. Keynes pointed out the important role America played in postwar era.64. According to the passage, Keynes and White had different views on_____.A. the roles of US and Britain in postwar eraB. the basic principles related to loansC. the timing and target of giving fundD. the interest rate British banks should offer65. According to the passage, which of the following statement is TRUE?A. The Bretton Woods system improved the rigid gold standard of the interwar periodB. International Monetary Fund dominated the world market in many fields.15/ 22C. The Bretton Woods system largely depended on the US economic success.D. Many countries received financial aid from the World Bank66. The passage is mainly about _____.A. the role of economy in the postwar eraB. two types of postwar diplomacy and their resultsC. an individual's contribution to the postwar worldD. the development of a financial system and its impact(D)The myth of short-term memoryShort-term memory contains the contents of your thoughts right now, including what you intend to do in the next few seconds 67________ You may think about what you'll say next in a conversation or walk to the hall closet with the intention of getting a pair of gloves.Short-term memory is easily disturbed or disrupted. 68________ You do this by thinking about them, perhaps repeating them over and over again ("I'm going to the closet to get gloves") But any distraction a new thought, someone asking you a16/ 22question, the telephone ringing---can disrupt short-term memory. Our ability to automatically restore the contents of the short-term lightly with every decade after 30.69________ I've been teaching undergraduates for my entire career and can attest that even 20-year-olds make short-term memory errors--loads of them. They walk into the wrong classrooms; they show up to exams without the requisite No. 2 pencil they forget something I just said 2 minutes before. These are similar to the kinds of things 70-year-olds do.The relevant difference is not age but rather how we describe these events, the stories we tell ourselves about them. Twenty-year-olds don't think, "Oh dear, this must be early-onset brain damage.” They think, “ I really need to get more than four hours of sleep."The 70-year-old observes these same events and worries about her brain health. This is not to say that brain damage related memory impairments are fiction.70________ In the absence of brain disease, even the oldest older adults show little or no cognitive memory decline beyond the age 85 and 90.Section CDirections: Fill in each blank with a proper word chosen from the box. Each word can be used only once. Note that there is one word more than you need.71.Under the pressing circumstances, we felt _____ to deepen the reform and open wider to the outside world.72. A Moscow company is now marketing "Sleep boxes"--freestanding, mobile boxes with beds inside--for travelers ______ overnight, or those in need of a quick snooze.73.With the government's newly-released scheme to support small and medium-sized enterprises, the dying industry was ______ many privileges to continue its technical17/ 22innovation.74. Domestic interest rates are often______ as a major factor affecting exchange rates.75. As the new master of the trading empire, with interests that ______ from chemicals to sugar, she is burdened with the rise of the family business.76. All the criticism of her acting didn’t stop her pursuit of art, instead it merely strengthened her ______ to establish herself in West End threatre productions.77. Her political consciousness ______ from her upbringing when her father's illness left the family short of money.78. Many theorists believe the ideal boss should lead teams from behind, taking pride in ______ accomplishment and giving credit where it is due.79. So magnificent was the sight from the top of the mountain that we thought nothing could ______ what we saw in the Alps.80. Were I in charge of the local wildlife______ , I would by all means prohibit visitors-- whether they came with commercial purposes or for pure recreation--from getting into it.第Ⅱ卷V.TranslationDirections: Translate the following sentences into English, using the words given in the brackets.81.专家建议这种饮料六个月内饮用完。

In fact, the government is investing a hundred million dollars ____23____ a healing complex next to Sobaeksan National park.There is increasing evidence ____24____ being outside in a pleasant natural environment is good for us. But what is frustrating is that fewer and fewer of us actually enjoy nature regularly. According to Lisa Nisbet, a psychology professor at Canada’s Trent University, evidence for the benefits of nature is pouring at a time ____25____ we are most disconnected from it. The pressures of modern life lead to long hours spent working indoors. Digital addiction and strong academic pressure add to the problem.

The average American throws away 82 pounds of fast fashion clothing each year.

When clothing is truly at its end, consider ____38_____ it as cleaning duster.Don’t get cheated.

But she had insisted that I come see something at the top of the mountain.So here I was, reluctantly making the two-hour journey through fog that hung like veils. By the time I was how thick it was near the summit. I’d gone too far to turn back. Nothing could be worth this, I thought as I inched along the dangerous highway.“I’ll stay for lunch, but I’m heading back down as soon as the fog lifts,” I announced when I arrived.“But I need you to drive me to the garage to pick up my car” Caronlyn said. “Could we at least do that?”“How far is it I asked.“About three minutes”, she said I’ll drive--I’m used to itAfter ten minutes on the mountain road, I looked at her anxiously. "I thought you said three minutes."She grinned. “This is a detour（绕道）”Turning down a narrow track, we parked the car and got out. We walked along a path that was thick with old pine needles. Huge black-green evergreens towards over us. Gradually the peace and silence of the place began to fill my mind.Then we turned a corner and stooped-and I gasped in amazement.From the top of the mountain, sloping for several acres across folds and valleys, were rivers of daffodils in radiant bloom. A profusion(大量) of color-from the palest ivory to the deepest lemon to the most vivid salmon-blazed like a carpet before us. It looked as though the sun had tipped over and spilled gold down the mountainside. At the center there was a waterfall of purple flowers. Here and there were coral-colored tulips. Western bluebirds frolicked（嬉戏）over the heads of the daffodils, their tawny breasts and sapphire wings like a flutter of jewels.A riot of question filled my mind. Who created such beauty?Why?How?As we approached the home that stood in the center of the property, we saw a sign that read: “Answers to the Question I Know You Are Asking.”The first answer was “One Woman-Two Hands, Two Feet, and Very Little Brain.: The second was:” One at a Time,” The third:” Started in 1958.”As we drove home, I was so moved by what we had been, I could scarcely speak. “She changed the world,” I finally said, “one bulb at a time. She started almost 40 years ago, probably just the beginning of an idea, but she kept at it.”The wonder of it would not let me go. “Imagine,” I said, “if I’d had a vision and worked at it, just a little bit every day, what might I have accomplished?”Carolyn looked at me sideways, smiling. “Start tomorrow,” she said.“Better yet, start today.”56. The passage is mainly about .A. a successful gardenerB. an inspiring gardening lessonC. a worthwhile travelling experienceD. an unexpected countryside scenery57. The author gasped in amazement because .A. the road twisted and turned along the mountainB. the fog crowning the mountain lifted eventuallyC. the owner of the filed came to answer her questionsD. the vast stretch of daffodil field took her breath away58.

If 2 adults and 2 children, aged 3 and 9, attend tour B410, they should pay $281.62. What is the tone of this tour guide information booklet?A. Welcoming and humorous.B. Warm and inviting.C. Modest and inferior.D. Casual and compulsory.(C)El Nifio, a Spanish term for “the Christ child”, was named by South American fisherman who noticed that the global weather pattern, which happens every two to seven years, reduced the amount of fishes caught around Christmas. El Nifio sees warm water, collected over several years in the western Pacific, flow back eastwards when winds that normally blow westwards weaken, or sometimes the other way round.The weather effects both good and bad, are felt in many places. Rich countries gain more from powerful Nifio, on balance, than they lose. A study found that a strong Nifio in 1997 helped American’s economy grow by 15 billion, partly because of better agricultural harvest, farmers in the Midwest gained from extra rain. The total rise in agricultural in rich countries in growth than the fall in poor ones.But in Indonesia extremely dry forests are in flames. A multi-year drought (干旱）in south-east Brazil is becoming worse. Though heavy rains brought about by El Nino may relieve the drought in California, they are likely to cause surface flooding and other disasters.The most recent powerful Nino, in 1997-98, killed around 21,000 people and caused damage worth $36 billion around the globe. But such Ninos come with months of warning, and so much is known about how they happen that governments can prepare. According to the Overseas Development Institute (ODI), however, just 12% of disaster-relief funding in the past two decades has gone on reducing risks in advance, rather than recovery and rebuilding afterwards. This is despite evidence that a dollar spent on risk-reduction saves at least two on reconstruction.Simple improvements to infrastructure (基础设施）can reduce the spread of disease. Better sewers (下水道）make it less likely that heavy rain is followed by an outbreak of the disease of bad stomach. Stronger bridges mean villages are less likely to be left without food and medicine after floods. According to a paper in 2011 by Mr Hsiang and co-authors, civil conflict is related to El Nino’s harmful effects—and thepoorer the country, the stronger the link. Though the relationship may not be causal, helping divided communities to prepare for disasters would at least reduce the risk that those disasters are followed by killing and wounding people. Since the poorest are least likely to make up for their losses from disasters linked to El Nino, reducing their losses needs to be the priority.63. What can we learn about El Nino in Paragraph 1?A. It is named after a South American fisherman.B. It takes place almost every year all over the world.C. It forces fishermen to stop catching fish around Christmas.D. It sees the changes of water flow direction in the ocean.64. What may El Ninos bring about to the countries affected?A. Agricultural harvests in rich countries fall.B. Droughts become more harmful than floods.C. Rich countries’ gains are greater than their losses.D. Poor countries suffer less from droughts economically.65. The data provided by ODI in Paragraph 4 suggest that_________.A. more investment should go to risk reductionB. governments of poor countries need more aidC. victims of El Nino deserve more compensationD. recovery and reconstruction should come first66. What is the author’s purpose in writing the passage?A. To introduce El Nino and its origin.B. To explain the consequences of El Nino.C. To show ways of fighting against El Nino.D. To urge people to prepare for El Nino.A great teacher recommendation can be an asset to your college application. But admission officers read hundreds of not-so-great recommendations every year — the ones that, while positive, don’t really tell them much about the students.____67____ Read on for some advice from the experts.Choose wisely“Do not select teachers that just gave good grades or seemed to like you,” says Scott White, guidance counselor at Montclair High School. “Choose teachers who wrote extensive remarks on assignments you handed in.”“Every school has a favorite teacher that the majority of the senior class is going to ask to write for them — if you must ask this person, ask early,” says Avis Hinkson, dean of admission at Mills College. “____68____”Ask politely and early“Give the teacher the chance to say no,” advises Shelley Krause, assistant director, admission, at the College of New Jersey. “The overwhelming majority of the recommendations we receive are positive, but we do occasionally see letters that the teacher clearly wishes he or she had not agreed to write, probably because he or she felt there was no graceful way to decline.”“Teachers and counselors are busy people; they have families and lives outside of school,” says David Bousquet, assistant vice president, enrollment, at Iowa State University. “____69____”Provide lots of help“Too many kids ask late and provide no resources for the teacher,” says T.K.Cellar, school counselor and department chair at Thomas Worthington High School. “They need to provide the teacher with a resume, and a stamped addressed envelope with the due date clearly marked on the front or on a sticky note.”“____70____ Recommendations are always stronger when they cite specific examples of a student’s work,” says White.IV. Summary Writing71. A Father’s Influence Makes for Better GradesAdolescents from low-income families in particular are more likely than their middle-class peers to underachieve and to drop out of school. Studies have shown that a positive attitude towards school work and the support and encouragement from their parents can help at-risk youngsters to overcome the economic barriers and lack of resources they face. Most of the evidence about the effects of parental involvement comes from research on mothers. Little is known, however, about how adolescents experience their fathers’ warmth and the beliefs and behaviors that are most affected by it.This new study is part of a larger one focusing on low-income families conducted in four middle schools in the southwestern United States. Data were analyzed from questionnaires completed by 183 sixth-graders about how optimistic and motivated they were about their schoolwork, and how they experienced their fathers. The questionnaires were completed primarily by respondents of Mexican American, African American and European American descent. Their maths and language arts grades were also obtained.Their findings show how fathers can support their teenagers in ways that result in greater optimism, self-confidence, and, ultimately, higher achievement at school.These positive effects extend to both sons and daughters, while in different ways. Experiencing their father’s warmth first influences daughters’ sense of optimism, and then spills over into their feeling more determined and certain about their academic abilities. This in turn leads to better math grades. There is a more direct link between their fathers’ involvement and teenage boys’ belief in their ability to succeed on the academic front. This strengthen self-confidence increased their success in English language arts classes.Suizzo suggests that counselors and educators should encourage fathers tocommunicate warmth and acceptance to their children, because of the positive influence these emotions have on their well-being.73.The survey used a(n)____________sample of 20,000 people ranging in age from 18 to 55 across the coastal regions of the country.74.At the beginning of each semester, the students are ________with a list of books that they are expected to finish reading before specified dates.75.In this accident, 42,000 tons of oil _________from a tanker, which resulted in terrible damage to the marine creatures.76.Pandas enjoy playing one the floor and will inevitably be ________with mud and dust.78.All three teams adopted different ___________to the problems.79.What _____________distinguish the Americans and the Canadians?80.Try to stay __________while driving at night.81.Little has _________in the village since you left home town.VI.

It’s here, it’s growing and it’s having an influence on our life. Surf the Internet and you’ll find blogs everywhere. A blog, shortened from “weblog”, is a public Internet journal written by one perso n or a group of people. It is a website in which a person or a group can place news, personal thoughts, text, photos, video or audio files, or links upon which visitors can ment. A blog lets you post on the Internet without having to know web design or be technical. You are given an environment to make dated entries on the topic of your choice which are “published”, so other people can read them.Authoring a blog, maintaining a blog or adding an article to an existing blog is called “blogging”. Blogging has revolutioniz ed Internet publishing in the last several years because it gives everyone with Internet access the opportunity to bee an online writer. Objects, such as “text and photos” in a blog can be called “blog posts”, “posts”, or “entries”. The person who posts these entries is called a “blogger”.Now, somewhere around the world, a blog is created almost every 6 seconds. Because it’s great potential, Bill Gates views it as important as e-mail, BBS, and MSN. He’s trying to make blogs the important tools for future business munications.56. A blog is .A. a mentB. an Internet journalC. a designD. a link57. A person can do the following things in a blog EXCEPT _______.A. talk to othersB. give mentsC. read articlesD. enjoy photos58. Who is a blogger?A. A person who posts letters.B. A person who writes articles.C. A person who posts text or photos in a blog.D. A person who is an online publisher.59. From the passage we know that .A. Bill Gates will invent some tools for blogsB. blogs will be an important business munication tool in the futureC. so far, only a few persons have created blogsD. blogs will replace e-mail, BBS and MSN in the future60. According to the passage, the reason why blogs are so popular is that they ____.A. give everyone the chance to be an online writerB. can be created by people without much knowledge of puter technologyC. enable a blogger to place news, personal thoughts, text and photos and give mentsD. all of the above（B）Some people say that the best way to reduce the size of your waist is to do stomach exercise. Many people believe that when specific muscles are exercised, the fatty tissues (组织) in the immediate area are burned up. The truth is that exercise burns fat from all over the body and not from one specific area. Of course, if you reduce the fat throughout your body, you will certainly see results around your waist too.Some people believe that you need to exercise twice a week in order to keep a sufficient level of physical fitness. However, studies directed by American scientists show that unexercised muscles lose their strength very quickly. Within 48 to 72 hours, you must use the muscles again to reestablish (重建) the good physical effects. And what does that mean to you? American scientists concluded that while daily exercise is most helpful, exercising every other day or three days a week will keep a sufficient level of physical fitness.Is it true that you burn more calories running one mile than walking the same distance? The answer is no. The truth is that you use the same amount of energy whether you walk or run the mile, since in both cases you are moving the same weight the same distance. The speed does not matter. Of course, if you run rather than walk for 30 minutes, you will cover more distance, and therefore burn more calories.If your breathing doesn’t return to normal within 5 minutes after you finish exercising, you have exercised too much. Five mi nutes or so after exercising, your breathing should be normal, your h eart shouldn’t be beating loudly, and you shouldn’t be tired.61. If you want to reduce the fat around your waist, you should ____.A. do stomach exerciseB. exercise the waistC. exercise all the muscles of your bodyD. run fast for 30 minutes62.. From the second paragraph, we learn that ____.A. we only need to exercise twice a weekB. we should exercise three times a weekC. muscles lose their strength after 48 hoursD. we should exercise every other day, or three days a week63.. It can be inferred from the third paragraph that _________ .A. you will lose more weight running one hour than walking one hourB. whether you run one mile or walk the same distance, you use the same amount of energyC. you will lose more weight running one mile than walking the same distanceD. both A and B64.. If you have exercised too much, _______.A. your breathing will take longer than 5 minutes to return to normal after you finish exercisingB. your breathing will return to normal within 5 minutes after finishing exercisingC. your heart will not be beating loudlyD. you will be too tired to move65. This passage tells us that _________.A. it is better to do more running than walkingB. the more exercise you do, the healthier you will beC. the unexercised muscles must be used again within 48 to 72 hoursD. in order to lose weight, you have to run fast（C）We have all experienced days when everything goes wrong. A day may begin well enough, but suddenly everything seems to get out of control. Sometimes a single unimportant event may cause a number of things to happen. Let us suppose that you are preparing a meal and keeping an eye on the baby at the same time. The telephone rings and this causes your troubles to begin. While you are on the phone, the baby pulls the tablecloth off the table, destroying your half-prepared meal. You hang up hurriedly and attend to your baby. Meanwhile, the meal gets burnt. As if this is not enough to bring you to tears, your husband arrives home, unexpectedly bringing three guests to dinner.Things can also go wrong on the road. During rush hour one evening two cars collided and the drivers began to argue. The woman driver behind the two cars happened to be a learner. She got into a panic and stopped her car. This forced the driver following her to stop suddenly. This driver’s wife was sitting beside him holding a large cake, and as she was thrown forward, the cake went right through the window and landed on the road. A truck driver seeing a cake flying through the air slammed on the brakes. The truck was carrying empty beer bottles and hundreds of them slid off the back of the truck onto the road, causing a terrible traffic jam. It took the police an hour to get the traffic on the move again. In the meantime, the truck driver had to sweep up hundreds of broken bottles. Only two dogs were enjoying themselves, for they were happily having what was left of the cake.66. If you want to answer the phone with out any trouble, you’d better ___________ .A. pull out the telephone line when you are with your babyB. put your baby on the bed and keep an eye on him / herC. not hurry to answer the phoneD. make sure your baby is not near the table67. Who is responsible for the accidents that happened on the road?A. The two drivers who were arguing.B. It wasn’t mentioned in the passage.C. The woman driver.D. The truck driver.68. From this story we learn that ________.A. there are many road accidents every dayB. the accidents mentioned in the passage are very strangeC. no one knows why this kind of accident happensD. the accidents menereherhtioned in the passage are very mon69. The writer’s purpose in writing this passage is to ___________.A. remind us not to answer the phone when we are busyB. tell us driving is dangerous every dayC. remind us not to be nervous when we meet an accidentD. remind us not to carry a cake when we are sitting in a car70. The main idea of this passage is that ________.A. troubles always e in groupsB. accidents may happen anywhere at anytimeC. a telephone call may cause great troubleD. anyone may have trouble on their way home五．翻译短语：( 5分)71.取笑__________ 72。

河北省承德市第一中学2020-2021学年高二上学期第三次月考英语试题学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________一、阅读选择When Lew Alcindor was 13, and obviously still growing, a group of schools began offering him scholarships. The Alcindor decided to send their only child to Power Memorial Academy, a small school on Manhattan’s West Side.At Power, Alcindor came under the control of Coach Jack Donohue, a strict young man who already gained his fames as one of the best coaches in the city. Donohue brought Alcindor along slowly. As a first-year student, the boy was not able to do much but wave his long skinny arms and shoot a basket now and then. But by the second year, when he was 15 years old and nearly 7 feet tall, Alcindor was quick and skilful enough to make the high school All-American team and to lead Power to an undefeated season.From then on he simply got better. Some rival coaches (对方教练) used to take their teams quickly away from the floor before Power warmed up so that their players would not see him any sooner than they had to. Wearing size 16D shoes and sucking a chewing gum, Alcindor would loosen up by starting his leaping lay-ups (擦板球). Then he would casually shoot the ball with either hand, to the delight of the fans.When reporters and photographers began to follow Alcindor closely, Donohue protected his boy firmly. He simply ordered Lew to talk to no member of the press, and this suited Lew fine. He was not comfortable talking to grown-ups, perhaps because he towered over them. Discouraged photographers began following him in secret as though he were aneasily-frightened giraffe. Once after ducking into a subway to escape, Alcindor told a friend that it was all becoming like policemen and robbers. “People want you not for yourself,” Donohue warned him, “But because you’re a basketball player. Don’t forget that.”1．Many schools offered Alcindor scholarships because ______.A．he was young B．he was hardworkingC．he was tall for his age D．he was skillful at playing basketball 2．Which of the following best describes Donohue as a young coach?A．Serious, popular and slow B．Tall, skillful and successful C．Kind, powerful and undefeated D．Well-known, strict and experienced3．Why did some rival coaches take their teams away from the floor before Power warmed up? A．Their teams refused to play against Power B．Their teams feared to see Alcindor C．Their teams would lose courage D．Their teams would lose interest 4．What does the last paragraph mainly discuss?A．How Donohue protect Alcindor from the press B．How Alcindor disliked meeting reporterC．Why the press followed Alcindor closely D．Why the public wanted Alcindor badlyIn 1901, H.G. Wells, an English writer, wrote a book describing a trip to the moon. When the explorers landed on the moon, they discovered that the moon was full of underground cities. They expressed their surprise to the “moon people” they met. In turn, the “moon people” expressed their surprise. “Why,” they asked, “are you traveling to outer space when you don’t even use your inner space?"H.G. Wells could only imagine travel to the moon. In 1969, human beings really did land on the moon. People today know that there are no underground cities on the moon. However, the question that the “moon people” asked is still an interesting one. A growing number of scientists are seriously thinking about it.Underground systems are already in place. Many cities have underground car parks. In some cities, such as Tokyo, Seoul and Montreal, there are large underground shopping areas. The “Chunnel”, a tunnel (隧道) connecting England and France, is now complete.But what about underground cities? Japan’s Taisei Corporation is designing a network of underground systems, called “Alice Cities.” The designers imagine using surface space for public parks and using underground space for flats, offices, shopping, and so on. A solar dome (太阳能穹顶) would cover the whole city.Supporters of underground development say that building down rather than building up is a good way to use the earth’s space. The surface, they say, can be u sed for farms, parks, gardens, and wilderness. H.G. Wells’ “moon people” would agree. Would you?5．The explorers in H. G. Wells' story were surprised to find that the “moonpeople”____________.A．knew so much about the earth B．understood their languageC．lived in so many underground cities D．were ahead of them in space technology 6．What does the underlined word “it” (paragraph 2) refer to?A．Discovering the moon’s inner space.B．Using the earth’s inner space. C．Meeting the “moon people” again.D．Traveling to outer space.7．What sort of underground systems are already here with us?A．Offices, shopping areas, power stations. B．Tunnels, car parks, shopping areas. C．Gardens, car parks, power stations.

湖南省永州市耀祥中学2020-2021学年高二下学期3月月考英语试卷含答案
湖南省永州市耀祥中学2020-2021学年度高二第二学期3月月考试卷英语科满分共120分考试时间120分钟第一部分阅读理解（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和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
ALike many, I felt pressure from my parents and teachers to go to university and study something academic. With top grades I received at the end of high school, I was almost able to enter any course of my pick. Yet the thought of spending the next few years facing the four walls of a classroom caused a lump(肿块) in my throat.After a year majoring in photography at university, which was not just what I expected, I made the decision to take a break and go on a gap year. In fact, I gained more knowledge in the real world in four months than I did from my entire schooling, but most importantly, I learnt so much about myself.One day, my posted photos were noticed by Topdeck Travel, and they asked if they could use some of my travel pictures for their posters. This really was the beginning of my career. I began developing my relationship with Topdeck Travel, and before long, I got my first paid travelling overseas to take photographs.Soon I reached the point where I had to make a decision—either to play it safe, go back to university and settle down like everyone else, or to follow my heart and go my own way—a path with an uncertain future. I chose the latter, and it was the scariest and best decision I have ever made.Five years after leaving school, I might not have a university degree, a well-paid job, a husband or a house with a white fence. Instead, I'm sitting at my office, with a cafe by a beach at Goa, India. As I stare past my laptop screen at the sun setting beyond the waves, a salty breeze touches my face.To me, success is about pursuing my dreams and creating my own path instead of trying to follow someone else's. Somehow, I feel like my life is exactly where it is meant to be.1.What did the author think of going to university?A.She took it seriously.B.She showed little interest.C.She looked forward to it.D.She thought it was a must.2.What benefit did the author gain from her gap year?A.The knowledge about the real world.B.Her paid overseas travel experience.C.Realising what she really wanted in her life.D.Knowing what really mattered at university.3.What can we infer about the author from the passage?A.She regrets not going back to university.B.She gets less knowledge in the real world.C.She feels quite satisfied with her present life.D.She misses the days working for Topdeck Travel.BA new report connects eating eggs to an increased risk of heart disease. The results follow several earlier studies that found eating eggs was generally healthy. The study collects data from six other earlier studies. It shows a 6 percent increased risk of heart disease when the number of eggs a person ate each day increased by half an egg.Norrina Allen, an associate professor at Northwestern University said that, in the United States, eggs are generally one of the top sources of cholesterol(胆固醇) in a person’s daily food. People with higher levels of cholesterol in their food are at increased risk of the development of heart disease later in life. However, Allen added that she would not say that eggs are completely unhealthy. “I’m not saying that people should take them completely out of their food,” she said. “I’m just suggesting that people eat them in a proper amount.”Some experts believe the new study does not prove that eggs are causing heart disease. “Cholesterol’s role in the development of heart disease has been discussed for more than 30 years,” said Bruemmer, an associate professor of medicine at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center.“This study does have clear shortcomings, including self-reporting at a single time point,” he added.Bruemmer said, “Eggs in moderation (适度) are probably acceptable from a nutritional standpoint.” “Moderation,” he added, “is less than one egg a day, including eggs in foods such as bread”.Holly Andersen, a doctor at the NewYork-Presbyterian/Weill Cornell Medical Center, agrees that the study has “real shortcomings”. On e problem Andersen has with the study is that a lot of the egg-eating people in the study also appeared to be eating much meat and processed meat. “If you’re taking a lot of processed meat, it doesn’t matter how many eggs you’re eating,” Andersen said.Als o, Andersen said, “The study can only show there is a relation between eggs eating and heart disease. But it cannot prove eggs are the cause of the disease. It may just be that people eating a lot of eggs are also taking a lot of bacon.”4.What does Norrina Allen agree with?A.Eggs are completely unhealthy.B.Eggs should be eaten in a right amount.C.Eggs contain the most cholesterol.D.Eggs have no connection with heart disease.5.What is Bruemmer’s attitude towards thestudy?A.Interested.B.Concerned.C.Doubtful.D.Hopeful.6.What can we learn from Holly Andersen’s words?A.Processed meat may cause heart disease.B.Eggs and meat cannot be eaten together.C.Processed meat should be avoided.D.The study is supported by evidence.7.What’s the best title of the text?A.Are eggs the top source of cholesterol?B.Do eggs cause heartdisease?C.What’s the proper amount of eggs eaten?D.Is the cholesterol to blame for heart disease?CJournalists are the major group of people who make their living from writing. Many young people who see themselves as future novelists choose journalism as a way of earning a living while developing their writing skills. Although writing for newspapers and writing for books require different qualities, the aspiration (志向) to be a great writer is not one to be discouraged in a would-be journalist.Most people want their work to be recognized by others. This helps to give it value. Some people also want themselves to be recognized, so that they have status (地位) in the eyes of society. It is not a bad motive to wish to be famous, but this must never become your main reason for being a journalist. You will not be a good journalist if you care more for impressing your audience than for serving their needs.Knowing the power of the printed or spoken word or image, some people enter journalism for the power it will give them to influence people. There is a strong belief that journalists control the mass media but the best journalists recognize their role as servants of the people. There is a difference between the desire to influence events for your own sake, and the desire to do it for other people. You should never use journalism for selfish ends, but you can use it to improve the life of other people.Curiosity is a natural part of most people’s characters and a n important ingredient for any journalist. Lots of young men and women enter the profession with the desire to know more about the world without needing to specialize in limited fields of study. Most journalists tend to know a little bit about a lot of things, rather than a lot about one subject. Knowledge has many uses. It can simply help to make you a fuller and more interesting person. It can also give you power over people, especially people who do not have that particular knowledge. Always bear in mind that power can be used in a positive way to improve people’s lives.8.What can we know from the first paragraph?A.Journalists are most likely to become great writers.B.Writing for newspapers is similar to writing for novels.C.Most of the journalists make a living by writing books.D.Journalism can be used as a means to improve writing.9.Why do some people want themselves to be recognized?A.To gain high position.B.To get great power.C.To earn much wealth.D.To learn rich knowledge.10.What is most necessary for journalists according to Paragraph 4?A.Being specialized in a certain field.B.Having a wide range of knowledge.C.Being good at making friends with others.D.Being able to speak a foreign language well.11.What does the text mainly talk about?A.The development of journalism.B.The challenges journalists face now.C.How to become a qualified journalist.D.Why people choose a career in journalism.DA clever technologist took steamboat inventions and turned them into the first commercial steamboat service.Although Robert Fulton did not invent the steamboat, as is commonly believed, he played an important role in making steamboat travel a reality. He was born in Pennsylvania in 1765. As a young man, he set out to make his name as a portrait painter. His career took him to Europe and into the orbit of people with the power to support him politically and financially.Fulton entered London society after he painted Benjamin Franklin’s portrait. While abroad, Fulton left the arts for a career in shipbuilding. He was interested in the recently-invented steam engine, and thought it could be used to power ships. Fulton’s vision was not original; many others had entered the field, and the unfortunate inventor John Fitch had built a working steamship already. But like Henry F ord, Fulton’s talent lay not in the invention but in the product’s application in the marketplace.Fulton didn’t focus entirely on the steamboat. In 1804, he tested the first submarine successfully, which he had built for the British Royal Navy. His invention would make him a celebrity upon his return to the United States two years later. Fulton’s partner Robert Livingston obtained an exclusive license for steamboat services on New York’s Hudson River. It was time for Fulton to deliver.To build an efficient, reliable steamboat, Fulton used a special English steam engine. The ship’s bottom was flat and its stern was square. The steamboat Clermont made its debut (首次亮相) on August 17, 1807, steaming up the river from New York to Albany, and it soon entered commercial services. The hilly terrain of New York made water transport faster than land transport, and Fulton’s boat —formerly known as the “North River Steamboat” — was a hit. Within five years, Fulton would be running services on six major rivers plus the Chesapeake Bay, and bring in great profits.12.What can be inferred from Paragraph 3?A.Henry Ford was as unfortunate as JohnFitch.B.Henry Ford was talented in product application.C.Fulton left the arts as he couldn’t support himself.D.Fulton was the first to create a working steamship.13.When did Fulton becomea celebrity in the United States?A.In 1804.B.In 1806.C.In 1807.D.In 1812.14.What is mentioned about Clermont?A.It operated for five years.B.It earned Fault much money.C.It had an American steam engine.D.It was not accepted by people at first.15.What’s the best title of the text?A.Robert Fulton and his SteamboatB.Robert Fulton: A Great InventorC.Steamboats Changing Water TransportD.The History of Commercial Steamboats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。

While this image has become an unforgettable part of our pop culture, few people knew that the same sort of response applied to service dogs.Once a blind man fell flat on his face, which was awful but finally harmless. His service dog, however, was trained to get an adult if the owner had a seizure (癲痫), and it was sure this was a seizure. However, while the dog did what it was taught, the woman it found was merely annoyed but not alarmed. Thankfully, the dog's owner was not in the situation of a medical emergency. However, the experience inspired him to share this information on social media. "If a service dog without a person approaches you, it means the person is down and in need of help." the owner explained. "Don't get scared, don't get annoyed, follow the dog! If the first person doesn't cooperate, it moves on."Referring to the accident, a TV presenter asked a dog trainer, Olivia, some basic questions about service dogs, including how humans should react if an unaccompanied service dog approaches them.“What they're going to do is sniff and gently push your leg”,the trainer explained, specifically noting that service dogs are not usually trained to jump or bark. “If you see a dog in vest without a person around it, follow it." When asked if one should say something to indicate they're prepared to follow the dog, Olivia said there's no clear command. “The spoken language is not going to be a secret password.”she said. “You can say.'What?' or 'Where?' or just start walking wherever the dog leads.”Olivia concluded the TV show by adding that those who rely on service dogs can train their companion to move along to someone else, if the first person the dogs come upon reacted negatively to its request Doing so could finally save the owner's life.24. What do we know about service dogs?A. They can't understand others' spoken language.B. They often make people annoyed.C. They are seldom known by most people.D. They only exist in the pop culture.25.In the owner's emergency, a service dog will generally______.A. run home for help from familiesB. ask the nearby person for helpC. jump or bark to draw humans' noticeD. stay beside the owner until he or she recovers26. How should people react to a separate service dog?A. Follow it to anywhere it leads.B. Communicate with it through commands.C. Keep it home until finding its owner.D. Take it to the nearest police station.27. What is the author's purpose of sharing the story?A. To encourage everyone to help disabled peopleB. To introduce a talk show about service dogs.C. To teach how to train service dogs wellD. To spread knowledge of dealing with service dogs.CMicroplastics are everywhere in our environment. It's hardly surprising that the tiny fragments have also been found inhumans. A new study shows that Americans are consuming as many as 121,000 particles each year.Measuring 50 to 500 microns in length, microplastics come from a variety of sources, including large plastics that break down into smaller and smaller pieces. Therefore, much remains unknown about the common existence of these materials within the human body, as well as their impact on human heat.Hoping to fill in some of these gaps, a research team led by Kieran Cox, a PhD candidate at the University of Victoria, looked at 26 papers assessing the amount of microplastics in commonly consumed food items, among which are seafood, sugars, salts, honey, alcohol and water. The team also evaluated the potential consumption of microplastics through inhalation" (吸入) using previously reported data on microplastic concentrations in the air and the Environmental Protection Agency's reported respiration rates. Based on these data, the researchers calculated that our annual consumption of microplastics via food and drink ranges from 34 ,000 to 52,000 particles. When microplastics taken in through inhalation are taken into account, the range jumps to between 74,000 and 121,000 particles per year.The authors of the study found that people who drink exclusively from plastic water bottles absorb an additional 90,000 microplastics each year, compared to 4,000 among those who only consume tap water. "This shows that small decisions, over the course of a year, really matter and have an impact." Cox says. The new study, according to its authors, was the first to investigate“the accumulative human exposure” to microplastics. But in all likelihood, the research tells only a small part of the entire story. Collectively, the food and drink that the researchersanalyzed represent 15 percent of Americans' caloric intake. The team could not account for food groups like fruits, vegetables and grains because there simply is not enough data on their microplastic content.For those worried about microplastic consumption, cutting down bottled water is a good place to start. But for the heart of the problem, we have to stop producing and using so much plastic.28. What makes it difficult to know microplastics commonly exist in the human body?A. The quality of microplasticsB. The quantity of microplasticsC. The shape of microplasticsD. The size of microplastics.29. How did Kieran Cox's team calculate the potential consumption of microplastics?A. By studying papersB. By comparing the impacts.C. By analyzing the data.D. By conducting experiments.30. Which of the following is true according to the text?A. Drinking less plastic bottled water helps to take in fewer microplastics.B. The study is among the earliest to investigate human exposure to microplatics.C. Cox's team gained comprehensive information of microplastics taken in by humans.D. People consume 74,000 to 121,000 particles of microplastics per year from food and drink.31. What is the best title for the text?A. The Potential Problems of MicroplasticsB. Microplastics Coming From Various SourcesC. Microplastics Found Within Human BodiesD. The Impact of Micoplastics on Human HeathDTo learn new things, we must sometimes fail. But what's the right amount of failure? New research led by the University of Arizona proposes a mathematical answer to that question.Educators have long recognized that there is something of a "sweet spot" when it comes to learning. That is, we learn best when we are challenged to grasp something just outside of our existing knowledge. When a challenge is too simple, we don't learn anything new; likewise, we don't expand our knowledge when a challenge is so difficult that we fail entirely or give up.So where does the sweet spot lie? According to the new study, it's when failure occurs 15% of the time. Put another way, it's when the right answer is given 85% of the time.Researchers at the University of Arizona came up with the so-called "85% Rule" after conducting a series of machine-learning experiments in which they taught computers simple tasks, such as classifying different patterns into one of two categories.The computers learned fastest in situations in which the difficulty was such that they responded with 85% accuracy."If you have an error rate of 15% or accuracy of 85%, you are always maximizing your rate of learning in these two-choice tasks," said Professor Robert Wilson.When we think about how humans learn, the 85% Rule would mostly likely apply to perceptual (感知的) learning, in which we gradually learn through experience and examples, Wilson said.Imagine, for instance, a radiologist learning to tell the difference between images of tumors and non-tumors."You need examples to get better at figuring out there's a tumor in an image, "Wilson said. "If I give really easy examples, you get 100% right all the time and there's nothing left to learn. You're not going to be taking as much from that as a situation where you are struggling a little hit. If I give really hard examples, you'll be 50% correct and still not learning anything new, while if I give you something in between, you can be at this sweet spot where you are getting the most information from each particular example."32. Which of the following is linked with the sweet spot?A. 15 per cent accuracy.B. 50 per cent accuracy.C. 85 per cent accuracy.D. 100 per cent right.33. Why did the researchers teach computers simple tasks?A. To find out where the sweet spot lies.B. To see how well computers carry out tasks.C. To compare the results of their experiments.D. To conduct some research on machine learning.34. What is the purpose of the "examples" mentioned in the last paragraph?A. To teach what to do in the treatment of tumors.B. To teach how to determine there is a tumor.C. To help to remember what is learned.D. To help to learn how a tumor develops.35. According to the text, what is the most effective way of learning?A. Not taking failure too seriously.B. Learning through experience and examples.C. Struggling a little bit, but not too much.D. Learning things that are completely new.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。
