His friends thought he was mad. But he felt it was his inner calling to record the history of the place.Since moving to Port Royal in 1964, he has lived as if he were in the 19th century, writing by hand and ploughing (耕) his fields with horses. His eight novels and more than 50 short stories are usually set in Port William, a stand-in (替身) for Port Royal. Nick Offerman, an actor, wanted to adapt his work for the screen. However, the actor was refused.In Mr Berry’s opinion, humans must take care of the earth that grants them life. “The soil is the greatest connector of lives,” he has written. “Without proper care for it, we can have no community.” This philosophy dominates his writings. In The Unsettling of America, published in 1977, Mr Berry criticized the natural damage caused by large agribusinesses. He thinks capitalism has separated farming from culture and disconnected people from nature.Mr Berry’s fiction explores the decline of sociable values by following Port William’s interconnected clans (家族) as they enter the modern age. In Dismemberment, a short story, Andy Catlett loses a hand to a harvesting machine and becomes a loner. He sees his withdrawal is mistaken and reconnects with the town, finding “the wealth of the family history in his ancestral place (祖籍)”. In Hannah Coulter, Mr Berry’s seventh novel, the main character Hannah Coulter grows old after a sad life and anticipates loneliness when herchildren leave to find work in the city. Instead, her hope is restored when her grandson returns to run the farm.These stories offer insightful advice for readers living through ecological disaster. Though few can return to farming basics, Mr Berry’s messages of building communities, being a good neighbour and resisting the invitation of modern life are still valuable. Besides, his mission to find the “peace of wild things” is easily completed by spending a few hours in Port William.4.Why did Mr Berry’s friends regard him as mad?A.He moved to live in the countryside.B.He turned down Offerman’s request.C.He wrote most of his novels by hand.D.He gave up his career as a writer. 5.What do Mr Berry’s writings often imply?A.The challenges of farming in old days.B.The harmony between man and nature.C.The real benefits of large agri-businesses.D.The hard lives of his forebears inKentucky.6.What do Catlett and Coulter have in common?A.Both admire harvesting machines.B.Both are from the same novel.C.Both reconnect with the city.D.Both find sociable values again. 7.What would be the best title for the text?A.Wendell Berry: adaptation to new environments B.Wendell Berry: a strong voice for modern farmingC.Wendell Berry: journey to his shining rural tales D.Wendell Berry: a youngproductive writerZoologists track animals using global-positioning-system(GPS)tags(标签) which then return their data via satellite. Marine(海洋的)biologists have a harder time of it, though, because radio signals can’t pass through seawater. This makes it impossible either to receive GPS signals or to send any data collected back to base.That does not stop people tagging sea creatures. Data collected and stored in a tag can be sent to a satellite in bursts if the species in question is one that comes to the surface from time to time. A tag may also be recovered if the animal carrying it is caught by a fishing boat. Fisherfolk are typically paid a few hundred dollars per tag returned to its home laboratory.None of these methods, though, keeps accurate track of where the animal carrying thetag has been. For these and other reasons, it would therefore be useful to have a marine equivalent of GPS. And one is now being employed. The Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, in Massachusetts, hopes to fill the seas with sonic beacons(声波信标) that will play the role of GPS satellites.The sea is divided into distinct layers that have different temperatures. During the Second World War, American scientists showed that some of these layers act as sonic waveguides. They called them “sound fixing and ranging” (sofar) channels. Sound sent out in one of these channels echoes(回响) between the layers above and below, thus staying in the channel. Thus constrained(被约束),a sound wave can travel hundreds of kilometers before it becomes too weak to detect.The sofar transmitters from Woods Hole are usually at an appropriate depth for the channel concerned. Every 12 hours they broadcast a 32-second-long location signal known as a pong. Pongs are so called because they are similar to sonar “pings”, but of lower frequency. In typical conditions a pong can be picked up 1,000 km away. By listening to the pongs from several beacons a receiver can calculate its location. Existing receivers for the two sofar transmitters are currently carried on free-floating instrument packs. But the plan is to have two more transmitters this year, and more in future years.8.Which sea creatures can GPS tags be applied to?A.Those feeding on other sea animals.B.Those following fishing boats constantly.C.Those coming out of the sea sometimes.D.Those swimming deep under the water.9.Why do sofar channels function?A.The echoes among them are weak.B.The water has a high temperature over there.C.The layers among them are quite similar.D.The sound remains there and stays strong for a while.10.What makes pings different from pongs?A.Pings are of higher frequency.B.Pings can travel faster than pongs.C.Pings can be received 1,000 km away.D.Pings are broadcasted every 32 seconds.11.What would be the best title for the text?A.Tags for sea creaturesB.“GPS” for the oceansC.Strange deep sea creaturesD.Data from distant satellites“This is the next revolution in flying,” says Mark Henning, European managing director of AutoFlight, a Chinese firm. Mr Henning is not alone in betting that electric vertical (垂直的) take-off and landing (eVTOL) aircraft have a bright future. The idea is that, being simpler, cheaper, greener and quieter than traditional helicopters (直升机), eVTOLs will be well suited to operate short-range passenger services across large urban areas, such as flying people between airports and city centres.Now, Mr Henning is setting up an operation at Augsburg Airport in Germany to further the development of Prosperity I, the company’s air taxi. Prosperity I can seat three passengers and a pilot. It is a hybrid between a helicopter and a fixed-wing plane. It takes off and lands vertically, using multiple rotors (旋翼), but these are switched off when it is in full flight. At that point a “pusher” propeller (螺旋桨) at the back takes over, to provide forward drive, and thus lift via the wings. This arrangement makes better use of the aircraft’s battery, giving Prosperity I a range of some 250 km.A model will be test-flown in Germany in order to obtain what is known as a type certificate from the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA). This signifies the airworthiness of a new aircraft. Although AutoFlight is also seeking certification in China, the company thinks the addition of European approval will help speed the machine’s entry into service in other markets, too. It hopes to complete the approval process by 2025.There is uncertainty about how the rules will differ from place to place. Nonetheless, enough regulatory progress has been made. In America, Joby Aviation hopes next year to become the first to obtain a type certificate from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). In Europe, Volocopter, a German firm, hopes to provide air-taxi services for the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris.It is not only new firms which are getting into the business. Airbus is developing ideas for eVTOLs. So is Boeing. With so much effort and money going into this new form of air travel, some of these birds will surely be flying soon.12.Which of the following can replace the underline word “hybrid” in Paragraph 2?A.Symbol.B.Mixture.C.Concept.D.Application. 13.What is special about Prosperity I?A.It has no wings or rotors.B.It can hold three people at most.C.It is energy-efficient during its flight.D.It has a top speed of 250 km per hour on land.14.What is AutoFlight trying to do for Prosperity I?A.Obtain a type certificate from the FAA.B.Have it tested across the sky of America.C.Tailor a set of rules as soon as possible.D.Get it approved by European authorities.15.What is the author’s attitude towards eVTOLs?A.Optimistic.B.Concerned.C.Uncertain.D.Tolerant.Have you ever heard of underwater football? Underwater football has been called one ofand can be played under both indoor and outdoor water surfaces. Underwater football shares some common rules and play elements with other underwater sports like underwater hockey. As with those games, it is played in the deep end of a swimming pool with snorkeling(浮潜)equipment.The goal of the game is to score a point by placing a ball on the opponents’ side of the pool. The ball can only be possessed by players who completely stay underwater holding their breath. 17Just like on land, underwater football is a game of control and possession. 18 . When opposing players are in your space, you need to be able to recognize it quickly and take appropriate action.19 . Each team tries to get their ball into one end zone by either passing or running through underwater obstacles. The first team to reach the endpoint wins! Just five players are on the court at one time, despite each team having 13 players.To win the ball back or keep it away from your opponents, you must use all your strength and abilities underwater. 20 .A.To play it you need snorkeling equipment.B.Underwater football involves two teams of five players.C.The equipment necessary for underwater football isn’t very complex.D.The ball must be passed or dropped when players go to the surface for air.E.It is a sport that combines the fundamentals of football with the excitement of diving.F.To play well, you need to master the basics of spacial awareness and decision-making.G.All these skills require practice if you want to become an expert at this exciting sport.二、完形填空You witness a man uses abusive (辱骂的) language towards his mother in a grocery22.A.Hopefully B.Thankfully C.Undoubtedly D.Unfortunately 23.A.knocked B.faced C.suffered D.blocked 24.A.at risk B.in anger C.at a loss D.in a hurry 25.A.all B.either C.both D.neither 26.A.talent B.gift C.ability D.habit 27.A.adopting B.adapting C.replacing D.rebuilding 28.A.artificial B.beneficial C.impossible D.improper 29.A.firmly B.indirectly C.severely D.confidently 30.A.topic B.conversation C.atmosphere D.worry 31.A.cause B.option C.reality D.effect 32.A.blame B.fund C.inform D.post 33.A.help B.confirm C.escape D.delay 34.A.tip B.trick C.cheat D.warning 35.A.careful B.nervous C.scared D.worried三、语法填空阅读下面短文,在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。

And when the tree heard it, it rustled all over, and sent back word to the leaf, “Do not be afraid; hold on tightly, and you shall not go till you want to.”And so the leaf stopped sighing, but went on nestling and singing. Every time the tree shook itself and stirred up all its leaves, the branches shook themselves, and the little twig shook itself, and the little leaf danced up and down merrily, as if nothing could ever pull it off.And so it grew all summer long until October.And when the bright days of autumn came, the little leaf saw all the leaves around becoming very beautiful. Some were yellow, and some scarlet, and some mixed with both colors.Then it asked the tree what it meant. And the tree said, “All these leaves are getting ready to fly away, and they have put on these beautiful colors because of joy.”Then the little leaf began to want to go, and grew very beautiful in thinking of it, and when it was very bright, it saw that the branches of the tree had no color in them, and so the leaf said, “Oh branches, why are you lead color and we golden?”“We must keep on our work clothes, for our life is not done; but your clothes are for holiday...”Just then a little puff of wind came, and the leaf let go without thinking of it, and thewind took it up, and turned it over and over, and whirled it like a spark of fire in the air, and then it fell gently down under the fence among hundreds of other leaves, and began to dream—a dream so beautiful that perhaps it will last forever.4.Why was the little leaf anxious?A.It would lose the twig soon.B.It would be blown off by the wind.C.It couldn’t nestle on the tree.D.It would fly away from the tree. 5.What can we learn from Paragraph 5?A.The tree taught the leaf to be merry.B.The branches are the nest of the leaf.C.The tree was strong to fight against the wind.D.The little leaf conquered its fear and anxiety.6.What does the underlined sentence probably mean in the passage?A.The leaf was changing its color for holiday.B.The branches were of tired of the leaf.C.The leaf was on the way to falling off.D.The branches were jealous of the leaf. 7.Which saying can best explain the philosophy of this passage?A.Every dark cloud has a silver lining.B.Everything on earth goes with the law of nature.C.The grass is always greener on the other side.D.Life is of high value but freedom is more precious.When you think of the new place for growing food, you might think of Mars. But one Italian family believes one possible place is right here on the Earth: the ocean.Nemo’s Garden is the world’s first underwater cultivation system of terrestrial (陆地的) plants. Located off the coast of Noli, Italy, it consists of several greenhouses called biospheres (生物圈), attached to the seafloor. “The mission of it is to change agriculture, to give it an added possibility for growing produce in the ocean,” says co-founder Luca Gamberini.His father Sergio Gamberini came up with the idea by combining his two passions—diving and gardening. In 2012, the project began with planting basil in a balloon underwater. Now Nemo’s Garden is growing strong.With the global population expected to reach roughly 10 billion by 2050, the UN estimates food production will need to increase up to 60% to feed the population.“We have a limited amount of resources, and our current way of harvesting thoseresources is unsustainable,” Luca says, “and we believe that underwater gives us some advantages over traditional agriculture.Floating six to ten meters underwater, plants in Nemo’s Garden are separated from any outside pathogens (病菌) and pests. Also, the relatively steady temperature of the ocean water is an ideal environment for plant life. Besides, Nemo’s Garden uses hydroponics—a technique that uses water-based nutrients instead of soil. Sunlight does reach the plants, but growing lights are used when needed. “Also, there is little interaction with the marine environment and related ecosystems, which means no harm is caused to marine life,” adds Luca.Everything is monitored on land through cameras and sensors, and settings can be adjusted remotely. When it’s time to harvest, a diver will cut the vegetation, place Different studies have been conducted on Nemo’s Garden. A 2020 study concluded that basil from the garden had a higher essential oil concentration and contained more antioxidants (抗氧化剂).The team at Nemo’s Garden has plans for even bigger biospheres in the future, as well as other locations. Luca believes the future of Nemo’s Garden will be mostly along the coastlines where communities could benefit from the added space it offers.8.What does the underlined word ”it“ in Paragraph 2 refer to?A.The biosphere.B.The seafloor.C.Agriculture.D.Nemo’s Garden. 9.Why is the population issue mentioned in paragraph 4?A.To estimate the current situation of food production.B.To address the expansion of global population.C.To add some background information on the project.D.To point out some problems in traditional agriculture.10.How does Luca feel about Nemo’s Garden?A.Cost-effective.B.Energy-saving.C.Multi-functional.D.Eco-friendly.11.Which of the following is the limitation of Nemo’s Garden?A.Its plants are low in nutritious value.B.Its biospheres are not large enough.C.Its biospheres completely rely on antioxidants.D.Its plants are too weak to fight pathogens.Professionals use the word “amateur” as a disapproving term for those who lack formal training and qualifications. I think such prejudice is a mistake. One day that amateur might just create a new industry.Typical amateurs are free to invent as they please, try new ideas, fail, and get up and do it all again—but better. As Marshall McLuhan, the media theorist, said: “Amateurs can afford to lose.” They are self-improvers, chasing a dream rather than a laborious, life-long career within a group. Amateurs can do it part-time, for charity or for fun.Thanks to the Internet, we can all be competent amateurs at almost everything. Now everyone can DIY and experiment—from blogging to film-making to online advice shops. The mysteries, terms and exclusiveness of the self-satisfied old crafts are revealed online for all to see. Besides, the world is vastly more complex now, but that means even the most respected professional needs expert help. The end of the age of authority means we no longer hold elites (精英) such as judges and bankers in such awe. For centuries the club-like professional bodies have taken society in their control, a form of freemasonry (互助协会) for the well-educated and connected.Charles Leadbeater has written persuasively about the importance of serious amateurs, or “professional amateurs”, who have helped introduce innovations to the mainstream. These passionate amateurs cooperate to give disruptive ideas (颠覆性的观点) possibility. Their constructive ideas contribute to the improvement of mountain bikes. Social enterprises are dominated by enthusiastic amateurs whose priority is to improve the world rather than bill clients. Among the greatest cooperative achievements of the Internet Age have been Wikipedia and Linux. It is surprising there haven’t been more crowded-sourced successes. Perhaps business projects have been too chaotic and lacked the leadership necessary for any complicated project to come to fruition.Nevertheless, I show my admirations for the armies of gifted amateurs. I don’t deny the importance of education, but I place greater emphasis on results and originality, which are the highlights of amateurism.12.The advantages of amateurs are listed below except ______.A.they enjoy more freedom in creation.B.they can afford the cost of failure.C.they are the fruit of the Internet Age.D.they have a wide range of choices. 13.What can be seen in Paragraph 3?A.The influence of professionals are being challenged.B.Public opinion is influenced by the small group of elites.C.Only the competent amateurs can make crafts revealed.D.Human society has been governed by well-educated groups.14.How does the author present his point in Paragraph 4?A.By listing figures.B.By making comparisons.C.By explaining causes.D.By giving examples.15.What’s the best title for the text?A.The Evolution of Amateurism B.A New Industrial RevolutionC.A Salute to the Amateur D.The End of Authority AgeHow to prepare for a new semesterIf you’re a newbie in your final year, it’s a good idea to go into the new semester with a plan. Why? 16 . If you start your semester disorganized and out of your depth, it will be challenging to get a grip on things once classes and other commitments pour in.17Realistically, you’d need little more than a pen and paper to take notes in class. However, your courses may require special supplies. Make sure you make a list and gather your essentials first. Then you can let your creative juices flow. Markers, glitter pens, sticky notes—it’s up to you.Set up your study spaceA clean, well-organized, and non-distracting workspace is essential for productivity. Set up your study space to be most beneficial to you. 18When choosing your study space, make sure it has enough natural light, or a good light source. Make an estimate of how much surface area you’ll need and organize your space accordingly. You’ll be spending a good part of your week in your study space so make it as comfortable and functional as possible.Know your class schedule19 . Check who your teachers are and find out what they expect from you regarding class participation, attendance, absence, late assignments, etc. Important things to include in your class schedule: course title, teacher, time, location.From the above we can know that there’s a lot that goes into preparing well for a new semester. 20 , and won’t get caught off guard by important dates, difficult lectures orlong assignments.A.Prepare yourself wellB.Gather your suppliesC.You should check your class schedule to see your tutors’ namesD.Besides, think about what worked during your previous semester and what didn’t E.The first few days back at school will set the tone for the rest of the semesterF.It’s important to be well prepared so that you can manage your time wellG.You must keep your class schedule somewhere easily accessible二、完形填空Chris Alsgree, an undergraduate at Princeton University, was recently wondering:22.A.Consequently B.Undoubtedly C.Apparently D.Additionally 23.A.devotion B.commitment C.enthusiasm D.sympathy 24.A.ignored B.noticed C.overlooked D.admitted 25.A.capable of B.content with C.responsible for D.bored with 26.A.lining B.standing C.flooding D.crowding 27.A.appointments B.encounters C.discussions D.interviews 28.A.greeting B.teaching C.guiding D.caring 29.A.rang B.stuck C.arose D.sought 30.A.turned out B.figured out C.worked out D.handed out 31.A.small B.big C.happy D.sad 32.A.picked B.forced C.awarded D.ordered 33.A.encouragement B.energy C.spirit D.creativity 34.A.ambitious B.reliable C.cautious D.precious 35.A.convinced B.pretended C.declared D.required三、语法填空阅读下面短文,在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。

第I卷第二部分阅读理解(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,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项。
AHere are some of the movies that inspire you to travel.The Lord of the RingsThe story is about Frodo, his friends and their adventurous journey through Middle Earth. Filmed in about 150 locations all over New Zealand, this traveling movie shows its beauty. From the rolling hills of Matamata to the volcanic region of Mt Ruapehu, this is the best movie to see New Zealand. Also, this travel movie might have the only distinction of being inspired by travel too. The director of the movie Peter Jackson first read the novel on a train going from Wellington to Auckland when he was just seventeen.Indiana Jones: The Complete Adventure CollectionIndiana Jones and travel are inseparable. Everyone remembers the red line on the world map that shows up on screen when he flies. The Egypt scenes in Raiders of the Lost Ark were filmed in Tunisia. Temple of doom was filmed mostly in Sri Lanka and Macau. The Last Crusade was filmed in Italy, Spain and Jordan including an excellent view of Petra. Unlike the other, Kingdom of the Crystal Skull was filmed almost entirely in the United States. However, their shots of Iguazu Falls are amazing.Romancing the Stone and jewel of the NileThis movie series focuses on a romance writer Joan and her adventures with a soldier of fortune named Jack. In Romancing the stone Joan goes to Colombia to save her sister who waskidnapped(绑架). In the sequel Joan goes to the fictional kingdom of Kadir set somewhere in the Middle East. Romancing the stone's scenes were shot mostly in Mexico. For Jewel of the Nile, the scenes were mostly shot in France and Morocco.The Talented Mr RipleyTom Ripley is a working class young man. Through a case of mistaken identity, he is asked to go to Italy to convince a wealthy businessman's son to come home. This travel movie starts in New York and heads to the fictional resort of Mongibello. The last section of the movie is filmed mostly in Rome and Naples. The locations are beautiful. They also did a good job of showing Italy as it looked in the 1960s.21. If someone is interested in seeing views in Sri Lanka, he/she would most probably watch the film ________.A. Temple of DoomB. The last CrusadeC. Raiders of the lost ArkD. Kingdom of the Crystal Skull22. From Paragraph 2 we can know that the story of The Lord of the Rings ________.A. is the best movie made in New ZealandB. was shot from Wellington to AucklandC. encouraged a 17-year-old boy to travel in New ZealandD. caught the director's attention while he was travelling23. The movie The Talented Mr. Ripley tells us a story of a man who ________.A. owns a large amount of fortuneB. contributes to helping a man out of troubleC. goes sightseeing in Rome and NaplesD. becomes wealthy by always working hardBIt was not until I was 9 years old that I found out my father was ill. It was 1994, but I can remember my mother's words as if it were yesterday: "Kernel, I don't want you to take food from your father, because he has AIDS. Be very careful when you are around him." AIDS wasn't something we talked about in my country when I was growing up. From then on, I knew that this would be a family secret. My parents were not together anymore, and my dad lived alone. For awhile, he could take care of himself. But when I was 12, his condition worsened. My father's other children lived far away, so it fell to me to took after him.We couldn't afford all the necessary medicine for him, and because Dad was unable to work, I had no money for school supplies and often couldn't even buy food for dinner. I would sit inlaughed at classmates who had parents with the disease. And even adults could be cruel. When my father was moved to the hospital, the nurses would leave his food on the bedside even though he was too weak to feed himself.I had known that he was going to die, but after so many years of keeping his condition a secret, I was completely unprepared when he reached his final days. Sad and hopeless, I called a woman at the nonprofit National AIDS Support. That day, she kept me on the phone for hours. I was so lucky to find someone who cared. She saved my life.I was 15 when my father died. He took his secret away with him, having never spokenabout AIDS to anyone, even me. He didn't want to call attention to AIDS. I do.24. What does Kerrel tell us about her father?A. He had stayed in the hospital since he fell ill.B. He worked hard to pay for his medication.C. He told no one about his disease.D.

She wanted to obey her mother.B. She was afraid of being looked down upon.C. She found no one willing to listen to her.D. She thought it was shameful to have AIDS.27. What’s the author’s purpose in writing the text?A. To tell people about the sufferings of her fatherB. To prove how little people knew about AIDS.C. To draw people’s attention to AIDS.D. To recall a hard time of her childhood.CHonesty comes in many forms. First there’s self-honesty. Is what people see the real articleunsure of myself and take out a part from my PBA(personal bank account ). I love how singer Judy Garland put it, “Always be a first-class version(版本) of yourself , instead of a second-class version of somebody else .”Then there’s honesty in our actions. Are you honest at school, with your parents, and with your boss? If you’ve ever be en dishonest, I think we all have, try being honest, and notice how whole it makes you feel. Remember, you can’t do wrong and feel right. This story by Jeff is a good example of that:In my second year of study, there were three kids in my math class who didn’t do well. I was really good at it. I would charge them three dollars for each test that I helped them pass. I’d write on a little piece of paper all the right answers, and hand them off.At first I felt like I was making money, kind of a nic e job. I wasn’t thinking about how it could hurt all of us. After a while I realized I shouldn’t do that anymore, because I wasn’t really helping them. They weren’t learning anything, and it would only get harder down the road. Cheating certainly wasn’t helping me.It takes courage to be honest when people all around you are getting away with cheating on tests, lying to their parents, and stealing at work. But, remember, every act of honesty is a deposit (储蓄)into your PBA and will build strength .28. The underlined part “appear through smoke and mirrors” in the first paragraphmeans ''_____________''.A. to be honestB. to be unrealC. to become clearD. to come from an imagined world29. Which of the following can best explain Judy Garland’s words?A. Be your true self rather than follow others.B. Don’t copy others or you can’t be the first class.C. Make efforts to be the first instead of the second.D. Don’t learn from others unless they’re excellent.30. What does the author expect to show by Jeff’s story?A. Honesty can be of great help.B. A bad thing can be turned into a good one.C. Helping others cheat can do good to nobody.D. One should realize the wrong in his bad deeds.31. In the last paragraph the author mainly wants to express _______ .A. one must be brave to be honestB. it’s difficult to be honest when others are notC. one should be honest when making a depositD. honesty in one’s actions can help him in the futureD“Fast fashion” means clothes that are inexpensive but look like the latest designs. One reason for the success of fast fashion is social media. A report by the investment research firm Bernstein found that Millennials—people born in the 1980s and 90s—wanted to wear a variety of clothes in the photos they posted on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter. As a result, many businesses that offer trendy, low-cost clothes are growing.But the situation is changing now. Maxine Bédat, a woman who is in her early 30s, looks in her closet full of clothes, but she has nothing to wear. She says she hates always shopping for what is in style. Instead, she says, she wants to buy fewer clothes that she can wear over and over. Other people want the same thing, she says.So Ms. Bédat and a business partner, Soraya Darabi, started a “slow fashion” clothing company called Zady. “Slow fashion” means clothes that last a long time. The y are often classic colors and shapes, and are made from natural materials that are biodegradable over time.The terms “fast fashion” and “slow fashion” are related to “fast food” and “slow food”: fast food is still popular in the U. S. , but many restaurants increasingly offer higher-quality, more expensive and relaxed meals.Like slow food, slow fashion also aims to use sources that are good for the environment and workers. Maxine Bédat says people in her generation want to know where their clothes come from and who is making them. To answer Millennials’ demand for information about the products they buy, Ms. Bédat’s company, Zady, includes details about the history of the brands. It also describes the process in which the clothes are made. Ms. Bédat says Zady aims to tell shoppers where their clothes come from, where they go, and how they impact the world.The international business “H&M” is answering Millennials’ demands in another way. It has created a recycling program for clothes. Shoppers who bring clothes they no longer want to H&M stores can receive a discount on new things they buy. An H&M spokesperson says, “We have a clear vision to avoid and minimize waste that goes into landfills.”32. What’s the attitude of some Millennials towards fast fashion nowA. Crazy.B. Tired.C. Supportive.D. Doubtful.33. “Slow food” is mentioned in the text to tell us ________.A. it is better than fast foodB. it is the healthiest foodC. why slow fashion comes nowD. why people like fast fashion34. What can be learned from the program of H&M in the last paragraph?A. It can help the environment.B. It does good to people’s health.C. It can help change people’s lives most.D. It will take the lead in the latest fashion.35. What is the best title of the text?A. What Is out of FashionB. Fast Fashion Is Not Fast.C. Slow Fashion Is in Fashion.D. Fast Fashion, Good or Bad第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)根据短文内容,从短文后选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

重庆11中高2017级高三9月考试英语试题
英语试题第二部分阅读理解(共两节,满分40分)第一节(共15小题;每小题2分,满分30分)AAre you looking for something to do? You might like to try one of these four experiences.Crocodile watchingDo you fancy getting up close to some of the most terrifying animals on earth? Crocosaurus Cove, in Darwin (Australia) has the “Cage of Death”. It’s an enclosure that’s lowered into a pool. This gives you a 360 degree view of a crocodile as it’s being fed. The cable broke once and the cage sank to the bottom, but they’ve fixed it since then.EdgeWalkHow about walking along the edge of a building several hundred meters up in the air? If that sounds like fun, head off to the CN Tower in Toronto (Ontario, Canada). Built in 1976, the tower is 553.33 meters tall.The EdgeWalk consists of a 20-30 minute stroll along a 1.5 meter wide platform that runs around the tower’s restaurant roof. During the walk, you’re encouraged to lean forwards as you look over Toronto’s skyline (轮廓线).Plastic ball rollingDo you fancy rolling down a hill in a plastic ball?Plastic ball rolling is popular all over the world, but the place to give it a go is in Rotorua (New Zealand). Brother David and Andrew Akers came up with the idea in 1994. A typical orb(球) is about 3 meters in diameter, with an inner orb size of about 2 m eters. There’s no brake or steering mechanism, but the inner layer of the plastic ball helps absorb the shock.Volcano bungee jumpingIf you’re looking for the adventure of a lifetime, how about going bungee jumping off a helicopter into the crater of a live volcano? As part of the jumping, a helicopter ride takes you to the Villarrica volcano, one of the most active in Chile. Once you’re at the drop zone, you leap off the helicopter and fall into the volcano. Finally, you enjoy the ride back to the airport flying at 130kph.Attracted by the above? If so, please contact us. Only half price from March 22 to April 25th For more information, please click here.21.According to the passage, there was an accident once when people _____.A. jumped into the Villarrica volcanoB. walked along the platform of the CN TowerC. rolled down a hill in a plastic ball in RotoruaD. watched crocodiles in the “Cage of Death” in Darwin22.Which of the following was first invented in New Zealand?A. EdgeWalk.B. Crocodile watching.C. Plastic ball rolling.D. Volcano bungee jumping.23. It can be inferred that all the four experiences are ______.A. interesting sportsB. exciting and extremeC. held on high placesD. fit for middle to old peopleBDyslexia is a problem that restricts the ability to recognize words and connect sounds with letters when people read. People with this learning disorder may also have problems when they write. Dyslexia is not related to eyesight or intelligence. The problem involves areas of the brain that process language. Brain scientists are studying whether they can predict which young children may struggle with reading to provide them with early help. John Gabrieli at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology is leading the study of five-year-olds in about twenty schools in the Boston area.They studied in the schools with kindergartens.And for all the children joining in the study, they give them a brief set of paper-and-pencil tests to look at which children appear to be at some risk for struggling to read. So far, fifty of them have been examined in a scanner, a special machine, to show brain activity. Written tests are not always able to identify dyslexia or other problems, while brain scans may offer a more scientific way to identify problems. And with reading problems, early identification is important. When it comes to helping children overcome reading difficulties, the younger the child, the more effective they are.Reading problems are not usually identified until a child is in the third or fourth grade. The later children are recognized as poor readers,the less treatment can help. And, as Professor Gabrieli points out, poor reading can make education a struggle. Reading is everything. Even math and science have textbooks.While the children are given tasks related to reading, the brain scans measure the extent to which certain parts of the brain become active while the children do the work. The scientists say they are pleased with early results from the study, but have a long way to go.24. Dyslexia affects the part of brain concerning ________.A. eyesightB. intelligenceC. languageD. emotion25. Dyslexia problems are more likely to be identified through ________.A. speech contestsB. reading efficiencyC. listening comprehensionD. brain scans26. According to the passage, which of the followings has the best time to overcome reading difficulties?A. Tom, a boy in the kindergarten.B. Kate, a high school leaver.C. Jane, a primary school student.D. Steve, a man in his thirties.27. What is the passage mainly about?A. An effective way to identity Dyslexia at an early stage.B. A learning disorder involving one’s intelligence.C. Dyslexia —a problem affecting one’s reading and writin g.D. A possible solution to the problems related to Dyslexia.CIf you want a little extra security against thieves stealing your bicycle, designer Dennis Siegel has designed a solution. The RFID Bikealarm is attached to the seat on a bicycle and gives off an alarm when it senses movement.“The RFID Bikealarm is meant to be a useful add-on to mechanical bicycle locks because it greatly extends the range of protection with only a few components,” Siegel explains on his website. “It is low-cost, durable andeasy to use.”The Bikealarm was designed as part of Siegel’s Bachelor’s degree thesis at the University of the Arts Bremen in Germany. The device will scare off any would-be thieves the moment they begin to steal the bicycle to which it is attached. It is able to continuously sense the environment to distinguish between specific events, for instance a passing tram / car and a serious theft.Siegel created a working model of an alarm that would sound when it sensed movement, but wasn’t initially sure how it would be best attached to a bicycle. “I decided to mount it to the rails of the seat because it allows for comfortable interaction and the position is less obvious as it looks like a small repair kit,” he says.Siegel chose to use RFID technology rather than Bluetooth to keep the costs down.Siegel explains that the most difficult aspect of creating the alarm was to get the electronic circuit down to a small enough size.The device runs off a kind of battery that can be charged by USB within 2 hours and lasts for a few days with normal use. As the Bikealarm is only at development stage, Siegel hasn’t signed any agreements to put it on the market.28. When it senses movement, the RFID Bikealarm will _____.A. make a warning soundB. fasten the bicycle tightlyC. shake the bicycle quicklyD. call the police automatically29. Which of the following shows the right position of the RFID Bikealarm on a bicycle?A. B.C. D.30.What do we know about the RFID Bikealarm?A. It can’t tell between specific events.B. It is very difficult to use.C. It uses a kind of battery for power.D. It depends on Bluetooth technology.31. It can be inferred from the last two paragraphs that ______.A. the electronic circuit is a little largerB. it’s very easy to make a BikealarmC. it costs too much at presentD. not many Bikealarms are producedDProfessional footballers have worryingly poor teeth that could be affecting their performance on the football ground, say dentists. Their study on players at eight clubs in England and Wales, in the British Journal o f SportsMedicine, showed nearly 4 out of 10 had cavities (蛀牙) and that athletes often had worse teeth than the general population. Regularly taking sugary foods is one possible explanation.The dentists, from the International Centre for Evidence-Based Oral Health at University College London, examined 187 players' sets of teeth. They found 53% had dental erosion (腐蚀), 45% were bothered by the state of their teeth and 7% said it affected their ability to train or play. Around 40% had cavities, compared with 30% of people of a similar age in the general population.Prof Ian Needleman, one of the researchers, said: "These are individuals who otherwise invest so much in themselves so it’s a surprising finding."There are two main groups - some have a catastrophic effect, they have very serious disease that stops them in their tracks and they cannot play or train."There Il be others experiencing pain affecting sleep or sensitivity every time they take a drink. "At this level of athlete, even small differences can be quite telling.Nutrition is one of the primary suspects with having too many sugary or acidic foods during training potentially accounting for cavities and erosion. A lot of air in the mouth during exercise can also dry it out so there is less protection.While these findings are worrying, clubs are attaching greater importance to dental health and educating their players. According to Stijin Vandenbroucke, head of medicine and sports science at West Ham United, oral health is an area where many athletes have greater problems than the general population and there are clear benefits of oral disease prevention for athletes and clubs.32. What does the passage tell us about professional footballers teeth?A. Nearly 4 out of 10 players in the UK suffer from toothaches.B. They have been invested a great deal by individual players.C. Many players' poor teeth bother their career and daily life.D. British footballers teeth are examined regularly.33. What mainly results in professional footballers' poor teeth?A. Experiencing too much training.B. Eating food with too much sugar.C. Breathing in lots of air during exercise.D. Having little education of oral disease prevention.34. These findings are worrying clubs because____.A. footballers aren’t willing to give up sugary or acidic foodB. they've spent much on their players' oral disease preventionC. footballers have more serious tooth problems than the publicD. players' oral disease may lead to bad performance in games35. This passage is most probably taken from____.A. a dentist's diaryB. a sports newspaperC. a medicine magazineD. a science report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。

I was the same way, just going with the flow. I played basketball in high school because I was good at it and because other people thought I should until I discovered my talent.I give up basketball and started doing speeches. It wasn’t a popular decision but my grandfather told me to do what made me happy. I fell in love with comedy and performing. And when I discovered the passion, I realized why I was born.I knew I had something to offer —I knew that not only am I powerful, but I can make a difference.I realized a long time ago that my dream is not to be famous or rich. My talent is to entertain. But it’s more than that. I have the chance to reach people, to brighten days, to bring laughter and positive energy into lives and inspire. And I am grateful forit.Acting putting myself out there and having doors closed on me time and time again has taught me a lot about myself. I have learned to trust what I have to offer the world over momentary doubt. I’ve learned to put my faith over my feelings. And I've grown a tough skin. More importantly, I have learned there is a long way towards our goals and that when we put our talents and passion to work, we determine our value.Like a lot of places across the country, there’s poverty, crime, violence and unemployment in Harvey. And growing up there, a lot of people have tragically low expectations for life. But I know that with the right opportunity and with help along the way, everyone can find their passion and go after it. My life is proof.4. What was the author born to do according to the text?A.

And now he hopes to use it for more than just his sons hope after seeing the childrens reaction to the Batmobile.Based on the number of failures he had seen in car groups, he estimated that only about one in 50 attempted constructions was actually finished and he realized what an incredible opportunity he had.Mr. Blackburn started the project at the beginning of 2018 after hearing a friend in the US was doing the same thing. It started with importing an outer shell overseas, before picking brains of a friend who had a background as a worker in a car factory to gain knowledge of how to build the car. With the help of his friend, Mr. Blackburn built the Batmobile in 18 months with the cost reaching six figures.Mr.Blackburn hoped to add a flamethrower(喷火器)onto the back of the vehicle and said he had thought about building the more recent Batman Tumbler from the series film Dark Knight. Though Mr. Blackburn encountered plenty of difficulties to get over during the construction, in September 2019, the carmade its first show at the Carnival of Flowers in Toowoomba, before being used by Blackburn’s son for his hope.“It was great. It was so good to see the kids’ and adults’ excitement at seeing the Batmobile.” Mr. Blackburn said. As a result, the car lovers hope to make the car work on the roads as soon as possible, so he can visit sick children and take them out with his son.8.

In some cases,babies,infants (婴儿)and teenagers have been admitted to hospital in north Wales alone.The Children’s Sleep Charity said many children were suffering from lack of sleep mainly because of technology use. Public Health Wales said sleep was as important to a child’s health as healthy eating and exercise,and children with poor sleep patterns were more likely to be fat.Statistics obtained (获得) under the Freedom of Information Act by BBC Wales found at least 408 children have been admitted to hospitals across Wales suffering from sleep disorders since March 2013.Children aged between 0 and 4 made up the highest number of inpatients (住院病人),with some newborns being treated for sleep-related problems from the day of birth.Vicki Dawson,who set up the Children’s Sleep Charity (CSC),said sleepless nights were putting both children and parents in anxiety. “Their weight and growth may also be affected as well as their mental health,”she said.Teachers said children showing signs of sleep shortage and tiredness in class were a concern as they couldn’t concentrate for long periods.Psychologist Amy McClelland,of Sleep Wales,saida common problem was that children were “over excited”before bed and that families should get back to basics. “Think 1950s family home. Dinner as a family,read,chat,a film maybe,lights off and then bed. ”She added.12. What’s the mainreason why children are short of sleep?A. Less exercise.B. Eating habits.C. Technology use.D. Sleep patterns.13. Who are the majority of the inpatients with sleep-related disorders?A. Infants.B. Teenagers.C. Teachers.D. Parents.14. What can we infer from what Amy McClelland said?A. Chatting and films make children sleep more.B. It is difficult for children to read before bed.C. Being too excitedis good for sleep habits.D. Relaxation has a bad effect on children.15. What is the best title forthe text?A. Ways to Treat Sleep ProblemsB. Sleep Problems of Welsh ChildrenC. Sleep Habits of Welsh ChildrenD.

Then he was thinking about a way to help the homeless to spend a warm Christmas.That thought stayed in Mikah Frye’s mind and when he reached home, Mikah informed his parents not to buy the Microsoft XBox gaming device he had asked for earlier. Mikah realized that by not buying the $300 device, he could instead donate over 30 blankets to the homeless. He knew how much it meant to be warm in the cold holiday season.Three years ago, Mikah and his parents were the ones living in a homeless shelter. Having suffered a financial crisis, they too had lost their house, not knowing where their next meal would come from and sharing a blanket every night. Mikah was six years old then but he remembered what it was like to have to give back that precious blanket every morning.Reaching out to the emergency shelter programme that looked after them 3 years ago, the family donated 60 blankets in the end, each with a personalized message of hope in Mikah’s handwriting stating: “They gave me a blanket, but I had to leave it. That’s why I want you to have your own blanket. Today, I live in my own house, and someday you will too. Your friend, Mikah.”The homeless people at the shelter may not have been able to give Mikah a Christmas gift in return but his gesture was noted by the billion dollar company Microsoft who made sure that Mikah was fooled into visiting their store so that Santa Claus could personally deliver an XBox from the company to him as a reward for making the top of “Santa’s list of nice boys” that year.4. Why did Mikah give up his Christmas gift?A. The device was out of date.B. His parents had a tight budget.C. He wanted to spend a warm Christmas.D. He decided to do something charitable.5. What made Mikah have a better understanding of the situation of the homeless?A. His own experience.B. His parents’ education.C. His visiting to the emergency shelter.D. The cold weather during the holiday season.6. What can be inferred from the last two paragraphs?A. The homeless gave Mikah a gift in return.B. He finally got the gift he wanted on Christmas.C. The company Microsoft fooled Mikah into buying an Xbox.D Mikah wrote a thank-you note to the emergency shelter he lived in.7. What might be the best title for the text?A. Mikah’s Precious Christmas GiftB. Mikah’s Giving Warmth on ChristmasC. Microsoft Rewarded Nice Boys on Santa’s ListD. The Homeless Needed Blankets on a Cold ChristmasCWhen the COVID-19 hit and supermarket shelves were empty, Chris Hall and Stefanny Lowey decided they no longer wanted to rely on others for food. The couple, who live on Pender Island in BritishColumbia, Canada, decided to start a year-long challenge where they wouldn't buy a single thing to eat. Instead they would grow, raise or catch everything—right down to sugar, salt and flour. Now, five months in, they say the challenge has changed their lives.Chris, 38, said, “It has always been something that we have wanted to do. We have had a garden and grown vegetables for a long time already. When the COVID-19 hit, it gave us that extra push that we needed to do it. We were both out of work when we started, and with the reality check of grocery stores running out of items, it gave us even more motivation to see if we could look after ourselves.”The pair spent the months before building a house for chickens, ducks and turkey as well as studying as much as possible to figure out where they would get all the things they needed. Chris adds, “We had to learn so many new things like how to grow mushrooms, process our Stevia plants, and harvest salt from the ocean. We spent a lot of time reading and studying online to figure out all the things we were going to need to do.”Now after five months, they both feel its been going well but Chris admits the first few weeks were difficult. “The first three weeks were very challenging as our bodies adjusted to cutting out coffee, wine and sugar all on the same day,” he says. “After three weeks our energy levels balanced out and our wishes reduced and now we feel great.” Now February has ended. As they come through winter, they feel positive about continuing with this way of living, with their challenge officially ending in August.8. Why did the pair decide to produce foods on their own?A. They were isolated by Pender Island.B. They couldn't afford to buy them because they were out of work.C. They believed it's good for their health.D. They could hardly buy them in shops.9. Which words can be used to describe the couple?A. Rich and generous.B. Helpful and positive.C. Optimistic and self-dependent.D. Motivated and brave.10. What can we learn from the last paragraph?A. Their challenge may last about eleven months in total.B. They were discouraged by the difficulty at first.C. They had difficulty because they wanted more.D. They couldn't adjust their bodies to the hard work after three weeks.11. In which column may you read such a passage?A. Sports.B. Agriculture.C. Lifestyle.D. Business.DCuckoos don’t bother building their own nests—they just lay eggs that perfectly imitate those of other birds and take over their nests. But other birds are wishing up, evolving some seriously impressive tricks to spot the cuckoo eggs.Cuckoos are often know asparasites, meaning that they hide their eggs in the nest of other species. To avoid detection, the cuckoos have evolved so that eggs seem reproduction of those of their preferred targets. If the host bird doesn’t notice the strange egg in its nest, the little cuckoo will actually take the entire nest for itself after it comes out, taking the other eggs on its back and dropping them out of the nest.To avoid this unpleasant fate for their young, the other birds have evolved a few smart ways to spot the fakes, which we’re only now beginning to fully understand. One of the most amazing finds is that birds have an extra colour-sensitive cell in their eyes, which makes them far more sensitive to ultraviolet wavelengths and allows them to see a far greater range of colours than humans can. This allows cautious birds to detect a fake egg which might be exactly the same to our eyes.Fascinatingly, we’re actually able to observe different bird species at very different points in their evolutionary war with the cuckoos. For instance, some cuckoos lay their eggs in the nests of the redstarts. Theblue eggs these cuckoos lay are practically alike to those of the redstarts, and yet they are still sometimes rejected. Compare that with cuckoos who target dunnocks. While those birds lay perfectly blue eggs, their cuckoo invaders just lay white eggs with brown irregular shaped spots. And yet dunnocks barely ever seem to notice the obvious trick.Biologists suspect these more easily fooled species like the dunnocks are on the same evolutionary path as the redstarts, but they have a long way to go until they evolve the same levels of suspicion. What’s remarkable is that the dunnocks fakes are so bad and the redstart ones so good, and yet cuckoos are still more successful with the former than the latter.It speaks to just how thoroughly a species’ behavior can be changed by the pressures of natural selection, or it might just be a bit of strategic cooperation on the part of the dunnocks. Biologists have suggested that these birds are willing to tolerate a parasite every so often because they don’t want to risk accidentally getting rid of one of their own eggs.12. This passage can be most likely found in a ________.A. science surveyB. nature magazineC. zoo advertisementD. travel journal13. What does the underlined word “parasite” in paragraph 2 most probably refer to?A. Animals that work together to raise young.B. Small harmful animals such as worms or mice.C. Animals that can adapt to changing environments.D. Animals which live on or inside other host animals.14. Which of the following is TRUE about the dunnock according to the passage?A. It is colour-blind and therefore cannot identify foreign eggs in the nest.B. It can easily remove cuckoo eggs from the nest because fakes are so bad.C. It is a host bird that is more likely to raise a cuckoo chick than the redstart.D. It is unable to evolve and hence accepts cuckoo eggs that appear in the nest.15. Which of the following can be inferred from the passage?A. Dunnocks may eventually learn to recognise foreign eggs.B. Redstarts seem to be less suspicious compared to dunnocks.C. Cuckoo birds are good at taking responsibility for their own young.D. It is very easy for cuckoos to imitate the colouring of the dunnock’s egg.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。

2021年重庆市十一中学高三英语月考试卷及答案解析第一部分阅读(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AOne day when I was 12, my mother gave me an order: I was to walk to the public library, and borrow at least one book for the summer. This was one more weapon for her to defeat my strange problem inability to read.In the library,I found my way into the "Children's Room." I sat down on the floor and pulled a few books off the shelf at random. The cover of a book caught my eye. It presented a picture of a beagle. I had recently had a beagle, the first and only animal companion I ever had as a child. He was my secret sharer, but one morning, he was gone, given away to someone who had the space and the money to care for him. I never forgot my beagle. Without opening the book—Amos, the Beagle with a Plan ,1 borrowed it from the library for the summer.Under the shade of a bush, I started to read about Amos. I read very, very slowly with difficulty. Though pages were turned slowly, I got the main idea of the story about a dog who, like mine, had been separated from his family and who finally found his way back home. That dog was my dog, and I was the little boy in the book. At the end of the story, my mind continued the final scene of reunion, on and on, until my own lost dog and I were, in my mind, running together.My mother's call returned me to the real world. I suddenly realized something: I had read a book, and I had loved reading that book.I never told my mother about my “miraculous” experience that summer, but she saw a slow but remarkable improvement in my classroom performance during the next year. And years later ,she was proud that her son had read thousands of books, was awarded a PhD in literature, and authored his own books, articles, poetry and fiction. The power of the words has held.1. The author's mother told him to borrow a book in order to ________.A. let him spend a meaningful summerB. encourage him to do more walkingC. help cure him of his reading problemD. make him learn more about weapons2. The book caught the author's eye because .A. it reminded him of his own dogB. he found its title easy to understandC. it contained pretty pictures of animalsD. he liked children's stories very much3. Which one could be the best title of the passage?A. Mum's Strict Order.B. My Passion forReading.C. Reunion with My Beagle.D. The Charm of a Book.BA dog spentthe lastfour years of his life waitingat a crossroad in the Thai city ofKhon Kaenas if waiting for someone. People originally thought the dog had been abandoned, but then realized that he looked healthy, so people asked around about him. It turned out that the dog had indeed been spending most of his time around that crossroad, but a woman had been coming round regularly to bring him food and water.One day, while photographing the dog everyone called Leo, a reporter met the woman who had been taking care of him. She had come to drop off some food. After learning the story about the dog and the woman, the reporter decided to share the story on social media. The post soonwent viraland the photos of Leo got shared hundreds of times. And the photos reached the eyes of Leo’s former old owner.Nang Noi Sittisarn, a 64-year-old woman fromThailand’sRoiEtProvince, almost had a heart attack when her daughter showed her a photo of the beloved dog named BonBon she had lost during a car trip. When she learned that he had been waiting for her in the same spot for the last four years,her heart melted(融化).Auntie Noi told her daughter to drive her to where the dog was waiting. When she got there and called his name. BonBon,the poor dog started wiggling(扭动)his tailand came to her,but when she tried to take him home with her, he was unwilling to follow. She didn’ t want to force the dog to come with her so she agreed to leave him with his new master. However, she and her daughter will come to visit him regularly.4.Why did the dog look healthy after separation from his former owner?A. He walked around the crossroad constantly.B. He was kept at a woman’s home all the time.C. A local reporter brought him food and water.D. A woman looked after him on a regular basis.5. What does the underlined phrase “went viral” in paragraph 2 probably mean?A. Changed surprisingly.B. Spread quickly.C. Appeared gradually.D. Fell directly.6. How did Nang Noi Sittisam feel about the dog's waiting for her?A. Shocked.B. Regretful.C. Touched.D. Proud.7. What can we mainly learn from the story about the dog?A.

No one knows the result until the last minuteCAlex Wong, a junior atMarkKeppelHigh SchoolinAlhambra,California, is working hard on his application to a top college. His resume shows off his nearly straight A’s in difficult classes, experience at a summer program atStanfordUniversity, Eagle Scout project and time on the soccer team as well as the school choir. But his steady progress stopped unexpectedly this year. Aiming to open access to college-level Advanced Placement (大学预科) courses, his schoolbegan using a computer-based lottery to give out spaces. Alex got shut out of all three of the courses he requested.The new system caused anger among families whose children failed to get into AP courses, which many consider important to develop advanced skills, improve grade-point averages and allow students to earn college credit, saving them and their families tuition dollars. Students and parents wrote to administrators to complain, circulated a petition (请愿) and launched a Facebook group for trading classes. “I’M DESPERATE! I’LL GIVE YOU FREE FOOD,” one student, Kirk Hum, posted on the 210-member AP Flea Market Facebook group.AP classes have long been held dear by the most talented and ambitious students.But now they are seen as positive for all students who are willing to push themselves – and schools are increasingly viewing access to them as a basic educational right. But this change has brought challenges.Miracle Vitangcol, a junior atDowntownMagnetsHigh Schoolwith average grades and test scores, is failing her AP US history class. She said she can’t handle the rapid pace and volume of material she needs to remember. But she said she intends to stick it out because the class is teaching her to manage her time, take good notes and work hard. “I’m struggling to adjust,” she said. “But I keep telling myself: ‘It’s OK. You can do it. Just push yourself’.”Some critics worry that the open-access movement is pushing too many unprepared students into AP classes, as shown by higher exam failure rates over the last decade. They also fear that open enrollment (录取) policies are encouraging teachers to weaken courses and give out high grades to students who don’t deserve them. “While expanding access is generally a good thing, we need to make sure we’re not watering down the experience for the high achievers,” said Michael Petrilli, executive vice president of the Thomas B.

However, when there is only a small difference between them, the effect of colour is enoughtipthe balance. The anthropologists say that the number of times red wins is not simply by chance, but that these results are statistically significant.Joanna Setchell, a primate (灵长目动物) researcher at the University of Cambridge, has found similar results in nature. She studies the large African monkeys known as mandrills. Mandrills have bright red noses that stand out against their white faces. Setchell’s work shows that the powerful males — the ones who are more successfulwith females — have a brighter red nose than other males.As well as the studies on primates by Setchell, another study shows the effect of red among birds. In an experiment, scientists put red plastic rings on the legs of male zebra finches and this increased the birds’ success with female zebra finches, Zebra finches already have bright red beaks (鸟喙), so this study suggests that, as with Olympic athletes, an extra flash of red is significant. In fact, researchers from theUniversityofGlasgowsay that the birds’ brightly coloured beaks are an indicator of health. Jonathan Blount, a biologist, andhis colleagues think they have found proof that bright red or orange beaks attract females because they mean that the males are healthier. Nothing in nature is simple, however, because in species such as the blue footed booby, a completely different colour seems to give the male birds the same advantage with females.Meanwhile, what about those athletes who win in their events while wearing red? Do their clothes give them an unintentional advantage? Robert Barton accepts that “that is the implication” of their findings. Is it time for sports authorities to consider new regulations on sports clothing?12. According to their research. Hill and Barton conclude that ________.A. the colour of clothing has an effect on most sport eventsB. red should be the choice of colour for clothing in sportsC. red plays a role when competitors are equally capableD. athletes perform better when surrounded by bright red13. The underlined word “tip” in Paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to ________.A. achieveB. advanceC. keepD. change14. The example of the blue footed booby proves that ________.A. male birds use different body parts to draw attentionB. red is not the only colour to attract female birdsC. blue gives female birds the same advantageD. blue can indicate how healthy a bird is15. What can be inferred from the passage?A. The colour red gives male animals the most advantage.B. Male zebra finches prefer to have red plastic rings on their legs.C. Rules on sports clothing are going to be changed.D. Athletes wearing red may have an advantage over their opponents.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。

You might like to try one of these four experiences.Crocodile watchingDo you fancy getting up close to some of the most terrifying animals on earth? Crocosaurus Cove, in Darwin (A ustralia) has the “Cage of Death”. It’s an enclosure that’s lowered into a pool. This gives you a 360 degree view of a crocodile as it’s being fed. The cable broke once and the cage sank to the bottom, but they’ve fixed it since then.EdgeWalkHow about walking along the edge of a building several hundred meters up in the air? If that sounds like fun, head off to the CN Tower in Toronto (Ontario, Canada). Built in 1976, the tower is 553.33 meters tall.The EdgeWalk consists of a 20-30 minute stroll along a 1.5 meter wide platform that runs around the tower’s restaurant roof. During the walk, you’re encouraged to lean forwards as you look over Toronto’s skyline (轮廓线).Plastic ball rollingDo you fancy rolling down a hill in a plastic ball?Plastic ball rolling is popular all over the world, but the place to give it a go is in Rotorua (New Zealand). Brother David and Andrew Akers came up with the idea in 1994. A typical orb(球) is about 3 meters in diameter, with an inner orb size of about 2 meters. There’s no brake or steering mechanism, but the inner layer of the plastic ball helps absorb the shock.Volcano bungee jumpingIf you’re looking for the adventure of a lifetime, how about going bungee jumping off a helicopter into the crater of a live volcano? As part of the jumping, a helicopter ride takes you to the Villarrica volcano, one of the most active in Chile. Once you’re at the drop zone, you leap off the helicopter and fall into the volcano. Finally, you enjoy the ride back to the airport flying at 130kph.Attracted by the above? If so, please contact us.
