He was born in Auckland, New Zealand, in 1919. He discovered an interest in mountain climbing while he was still in high school and began climbing New Zealand’s Southern Alps.Like his father, Hillary earned his living as a beekeeper. However, he continued to climb mountains. His goal was to climb Mt. Everest, which is the highest mountain in the world. By the early 1950s, several expeditions (探险队) had attempted to reach the summit of Everest, but all had failed. Then, in 1953, Hillary and a Nepalese climber named Tenzing Norgay became the first two people to reach the top of the world.Hillary’s spirit of explorati on was not satisfied. He joined an expedition to Antarctica and reached the South Pole in 1958. He also made an expedition up the Ganges River to its source in the Himalayas. Sir Edmund Hillary was a brave adventurer. He went where no man or woman had gone before.Although Hillary was best known as the young man who climbed to the summit of Mt. Everest in the 1950s, he continued his journeys to far-off places into his senior years. For instance, in his mid-sixites Hillary flew to the North Pole with Neil Armstrong, the first man on the moon. Moreover, Hillary authored many books. However, his most lasting gift, perhaps, was the Sir Edmund Hillary Himalayan Trust (信托基金). It raised millions of dollars and contributed to schools, hospitals and many other public improvements in the Sherpa villages of Nepal. In January 2008, Sir Edmund Hillary died at the age of 88.Despite being a great adventurer and known for the treasure he left, Sir Edmund Hillary always modestly referred to himself as a simple beekeeper from New Zealand.60. Hillary was interested in _________ when he was in high school.A. mountain-climbingB. bee-keepingC. money-raisingD. story-writing61.Hillary became well-known because _________.A. he reached both the South Pole and the North PoleB. he was the first to reach the top of Mt. EverestC. he lived in places where no humans had goneD. he made a lot of money as a beekeeper62. _________ is the right order of Hillary’s expeditions.a. He traveled to the source of the Ganges River.b. He climbed New Zealand’s Southern Alps.c. He reached the summit of Everest.d. He explored the North Pole.A.a-c-d-bB. b-d-c-aC. a-b-c-dD. b-c-a-d63. We can learn from the passage that Hillary is _________.A. outgoing and fearlessB. talented and honestC. determined and caringD. hardworking and carefulCThroughout childhood, kids are encouraged to take good care of their bodies by getting enough rest, exercising regularly, eating healthful foods, and drinking plenty of water. But recently children and teenagers have been warned to protect their skin. Skin cancer is on the rise among young people. Teens should make some basic lifestyle changes to help slow this trend.Melanoma, a skin cancer, is the second most common form of cancer for people aged 15 to 29. Unfortunately, the risk of developing it has increased in recent years. One of the most important causes of melanoma is UV radiation (辐射) damage. Scientists think that some of this damage is directly linked to the use of tanning beds (皮肤美黑床). Now they have found that these beds produce UV A radiation and UVB radiation, both of which are dangerous.Clearly, avoiding tanning beds is one way teens can protect their skin, but they must do more. They need to protect themselves from too much sun exposure as well. They must learn to stay out of the sun in summer. Doctors say that to avoid the harmful rays of the sun, young people should stay indoors between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m., when the rays are the strongest. When teens have to be outdoors during these hours, they should use sunscreen that provides protection from both UVA and UVB rays.Protection is the most effective weapon in the battle against melanoma, but paying close attention to the skin is also vital. Melanoma often begins as a mole (痣) on the skin. If it’s caught before it spreads below the skin’s surface, it’s highly curable. Therefore, teens should watch for both new moles and existing moles. If they see anything that looks unusual, they should visit a skin doctor right away.Teens who continue to bake in the sun to achieve that perfect tan should realize the potential consequences of their behavior. Is a sun-kissed look really worth the risk of melanoma? It’s not too late to change your habits and reduce your exposure to harmful UV rays. Take action now to protect your skin and avoid this deadly disease later.64. Teens are warned to protect their skin because _________.A. their lifestyles are not healthyB. skin helps slow the radiation damageC. skin cancer is growing among teenagersD. they spend longer time staying outdoors65. In Paragraph 2, the author mainly talks about _________ of melanoma.A. the causeB. the preventionC. the symptomD. the treatment66. _________ is the effective protection of skin.A. Using tanning bedsB. Eating more healthful foodsC. Visiting a skin doctor frequentlyD. Reducing exposure to strong UV raysDThe biggest criticism (批评) of social networking is that our young people are losing their offline friends to online friends. In fact there is a lot of research that shows these criticisms are generally unfounded. Research by Allen et al. found that people are not replacing offline friends with online companions but are using them to support their offline relationships. They also found that our online friendships actually allow us to have discussions with a much more diverse set of people than in the real world and improve our psychological happiness.However, there is one part of social networking that is deeply worrying. We find ourselves in a hyper-connected world where people access social media day and night, excited to make announcements about the tiniest details of their lives. Research is starting to show that this culture is negatively affecting not our friendships but our character.Professor Larry D. Rosen, in his book iDisorder, presents evidence that social networking is turning us into narcissists (自恋者). He says that young people who overuse social networking sites can become vain, aggressive, and show anti-social behavior in their offline lives. But perhaps an even more disturbing effect is that one of our most basic emotions seems to be disappearing––empathy. This is the emotion that bonds us together; it allows us to see the world from our friends’ points of view. Without it, we are far less able to connect and form meaningful adult relationships.Sherry Turkle, a professor of social sciences at MIT, suggests that people are no longer comfortable being alone. This is something confirmed by a study where 200 university students were asked to go without social media for 24 hours. Many admitted an addiction to their online social network; most complained that they felt cut off from family and friends. But being alone is a time, Turkle argues, when we self-reflect and get in touch with who we really are. It is only when we do this that we can make meaningful friendships with others. She believes, as is the title of her 2011 book, that we are simply “Alone Together.”These potential changes in our characters are rather disturbing. If nothing is done, our young people could well be in trouble. Therefore, suggestions about ways to encourage our young people to avoid the problems of social networking should be made, so they can develop the kinds of friendships that are required to grow into well-adjusted and happy adults.67. The underlined word “unfounded” in Paragraph 1 probably means _________.A. undoubtedB. falseC. acceptableD. illegal68. In this passage, the author mainly argues that _________.A. internet culture causes various problemsB. we are losing some most important emotionsC. online friendships do good to offline friendshipsD. social networking affects young people’s personalities69. By the underlined sentence in Paragraph 4, Turkle probably means _________.A. we rely on social network for connectionB. being alone is necessary for being togetherC. being alone makes us know ourselves betterD. we hardly communicate while being together70. From the passage, we can learn that _________.A. we are becoming unable to understand others wellB. young people will develop offline friendshipsC. young people can’t go without social mediaD. social media have more advantages第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，共10分）Is My Dog a Wolf?In the old days wolves and dogs shared the same ancestor. 71 . And wolves stayed wolves. Even though it has been thousands of years since dogs have been wild, many things a dog does by instinct (本能) a wolf also does.Why does my dog chew my stuff?I t’s not because he’s mad at you. The baby wolf chews on a deer bone for several reasons. There is some small nutritional value gained by chewing bones. 72 . But mostly, it is just fun and tastes good. Most of us don’t leave deer bones lying around the house, so table legs, shoes, and sticks probably seem like good bone replacements. Many dogs get scared or bored when they are left alone, and chewing on something can be comforting and entertaining to them.73 . So when he eats your homework, it really means he misses having you around.Why does my dog play with dirt?74 . Wolves dig holes to hide leftover food and bones, so they’ll have a nice snack for later. Some dig to catch small underground animals, which make tasty snacks. Or they dig to create a cool hole to lie in during the summer…or a warm snow cave in the winter. Adult wolves dig underground caves for their ba bies to provide shelter and safety. Dogs may dig for some of the same reasons, but one thing is for sure: newly dug dirt has all sorts of interesting smells which they are crazy about.Once you understand that dogs and wolves are similar, you can look at the ways they are different. In the wild, wolves live by wolf rules. Most of their days are spent caring for the young, resting, and hunting. 75 . Their willingness to do this is probably the biggest difference between the two species. That’s why dog s can become human’s friends while wolves never.A. Dogs, however, must live by people rules both inside and outside the home.B. If that “something” smells like you, it is all the more attractive.C. D igging is a survival tool for wolves, but it’s just fu n for dogs.D. Gradually, dogs changed to become their own species.E. Wolf and dog noses also do more than just smell.F. It is also the way wolves brush their teeth.G. How are they different?第四部分书面表达（共两节35分）第一节（15分）假设你是红星中学高三学生李华，你的英国朋友Jim在给你的邮件中提到他对中国传统节日很感兴趣，并请你介绍一个你喜欢的中国传统节日。

丰台区2017～2018学年度高三第一学期期末练习
一、本大题共8小题,共24分。
阅读下面的材料,完成1～8题。
材料一从20世纪中期开始,伴随着世界各国经济的快速发展而出现的城市问题日益加剧，包括环境污染、资源匱乏、人口膨胀、交通堵塞等；全球化更加剧了城市间的资本、资源和创造力的竞争,如何解决城市发展中的问题,实现可持续发展,成为城市建设规划的重要命题。
2008年,IBM公司在《智慧地球:下一代领导人议程》的主题报告中,首先提出“智慧地球”的理念,希冀把新一代信息技术充分运用在人们所面对的各行各业中,2010年IBM又提出了“智慧城市”的愿景,希望为世界和中国的城市发展贡献自己的力量。
IBM经过研究认为,城市由关系到城市主要功能的不同类型的组织(人)、业务(政务)、交通、通讯、水和能源六个核心系统组成。
这些系统不是零散的,而是以一种协作的方式相互衔接；而城市本身,则是由这些系统所组成的宏观系统,在过去的城市发展过程中，由于科技力量的不足,这些系统之间的关系无法为城市发展提供整合的信息支持。
而以物联网”和“云计算”为标志的信息技术的突破性发展,将信息技术与城市发展推向一个崭新的智能互联时代；利用遍布全市的各类硬件感知设备和智能化系统,随时随地实现对城市全面感知和监测,通过传感设备智能识别及立体感知城市的位置、人口、环境、状态等信息的变化,对感知到的信息进行数据提取、融合、分析和处理,并能与交通、医疗、安全等具体的业务流程进行智能化集成，从而能及时主动作出响应,保诬城市各个关键系统高效地运行。
所以,21世纪的“智慧城市”,能够充分运用信息和通信技术手段感测、分析、整合城市运行核心系统的各项关键信息,从而对包括民生、环保公共安全、城市服务、工商业活动在内的各种需求作出智能响应,为人类创造更美好的城市生活。
此后这一理念被世界各国接纳,并作为应对金融海啸刺激经济增长的策略。
1.根据材料一,下列选项中,属于智慧城市建设条件的一项是(2分)A.越来越严重的城市问题B.城市间竞争日益加剧C.信息技术的突破性发展D.波及全球的金融危机2.根据材料一,下列有关智慧城市的表述,不正确的一项是(3分)A.智慧城市是由六个核心系统构成,并智能互联、相互协作的宏观系统。

He was born in Auckland, New Zealand, in 1919. He discovered an interest in mountain climbing while he was still in high school and began climbing New Zealand’s Southern Alps.Like his father, Hillary earned his living as a beekeeper. However, he continued to climb mountains. His goal was to climb Mt. Everest, which is the highest mountain in the world. By the early 1950s, several expeditions (探险队) had attempted to reach the summit of Everest, but all had failed. Then, in 1953, Hillary and a Nepalese climber named Tenzing Norgay became the first two people to reach the top of the world.Hillary’s spirit of explorati on was not satisfied. He joined an expedition to Antarctica and reached the South Pole in 1958. He also made an expedition up the Ganges River to its source in the Himalayas. Sir Edmund Hillary was a brave adventurer. He went where no man or woman had gone before.Although Hillary was best known as the young man who climbed to the summit of Mt. Everest in the 1950s, he continued his journeys to far-off places into his senior years. For instance, in his mid-sixites Hillary flew to the North Pole with Neil Armstrong, the first man on the moon. Moreover, Hillary authored many books. However, his most lasting gift, perhaps, was the Sir Edmund Hillary Himalayan Trust (信托基金). It raised millions of dollars and contributed to schools, hospitals and many other public improvements in the Sherpa villages of Nepal. In January 2008, Sir Edmund Hillary died at the age of 88.Despite being a great adventurer and known for the treasure he left, Sir Edmund Hillary always modestly referred to himself as a simple beekeeper from New Zealand.60. Hillary was interested in _________ when he was in high school.A. mountain-climbingB. bee-keepingC. money-raisingD. story-writing61.Hillary became well-known because _________.A. he reached both the South Pole and the North PoleB. he was the first to reach the top of Mt. EverestC. he lived in places where no humans had goneD. he made a lot of money as a beekeeper62. _________ is the right order of Hillary’s expeditions.a. He traveled to the source of the Ganges River.b. He climbed New Zealand’s Southern Alps.c. He reached the summit of Everest.d. He explored the North Pole.A.a-c-d-bB. b-d-c-aC. a-b-c-dD. b-c-a-d63. We can learn from the passage that Hillary is _________.A. outgoing and fearlessB. talented and honestC. determined and caringD. hardworking and carefulCThroughout childhood, kids are encouraged to take good care of their bodies by getting enough rest, exercising regularly, eating healthful foods, and drinking plenty of water. But recently children and teenagers have been warned to protect their skin. Skin cancer is on the rise among young people. Teens should make some basic lifestyle changes to help slow this trend.Melanoma, a skin cancer, is the second most common form of cancer for people aged 15 to 29. Unfortunately, the risk of developing it has increased in recent years. One of the most important causes of melanoma is UV radiation (辐射) damage. Scientists think that some of this damage is directly linked to the use of tanning beds (皮肤美黑床). Now they have found that these beds produce UV A radiation and UVB radiation, both of which are dangerous.Clearly, avoiding tanning beds is one way teens can protect their skin, but they must do more. They need to protect themselves from too much sun exposure as well. They must learn to stay out of the sun in summer. Doctors say that to avoid the harmful rays of the sun, young people should stay indoors between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m., when the rays are the strongest. When teens have to be outdoors during these hours, they should use sunscreen that provides protection from both UVA and UVB rays.Protection is the most effective weapon in the battle against melanoma, but paying close attention to the skin is also vital. Melanoma often begins as a mole (痣) on the skin. If it’s caught before it spreads below the skin’s surface, it’s highly curable. Therefore, teens should watch for both new moles and existing moles. If they see anything that looks unusual, they should visit a skin doctor right away.Teens who continue to bake in the sun to achieve that perfect tan should realize the potential consequences of their behavior. Is a sun-kissed look really worth the risk of melanoma? It’s not too late to change your habits and reduce your exposure to harmful UV rays. Take action now to protect your skin and avoid this deadly disease later.64. Teens are warned to protect their skin because _________.A. their lifestyles are not healthyB. skin helps slow the radiation damageC. skin cancer is growing among teenagersD. they spend longer time staying outdoors65. In Paragraph 2, the author mainly talks about _________ of melanoma.A. the causeB. the preventionC. the symptomD. the treatment66. _________ is the effective protection of skin.A. Using tanning bedsB. Eating more healthful foodsC. Visiting a skin doctor frequentlyD. Reducing exposure to strong UV raysDThe biggest criticism (批评) of social networking is that our young people are losing their offline friends to online friends. In fact there is a lot of research that shows these criticisms are generally unfounded. Research by Allen et al. found that people are not replacing offline friends with online companions but are using them to support their offline relationships. They also found that our online friendships actually allow us to have discussions with a much more diverse set of people than in the real world and improve our psychological happiness.However, there is one part of social networking that is deeply worrying. We find ourselves in a hyper-connected world where people access social media day and night, excited to make announcements about the tiniest details of their lives. Research is starting to show that this culture is negatively affecting not our friendships but our character.Professor Larry D. Rosen, in his book iDisorder, presents evidence that social networking is turning us into narcissists (自恋者). He says that young people who overuse social networking sites can become vain, aggressive, and show anti-social behavior in their offline lives. But perhaps an even more disturbing effect is that one of our most basic emotions seems to be disappearing––empathy. This is the emotion that bonds us together; it allows us to see the world from our friends’ points of view. Without it, we are far less able to connect and form meaningful adult relationships.Sherry Turkle, a professor of social sciences at MIT, suggests that people are no longer comfortable being alone. This is something confirmed by a study where 200 university students were asked to go without social media for 24 hours. Many admitted an addiction to their online social network; most complained that they felt cut off from family and friends. But being alone is a time, Turkle argues, when we self-reflect and get in touch with who we really are. It is only when we do this that we can make meaningful friendships with others. She believes, as is the title of her 2011 book, that we are simply ―Alone Together.‖These potential changes in our characters are rather disturbing. If nothing is done, our young people could well be in trouble. Therefore, suggestions about ways to encourage our young people to avoid the problems of social networking should be made, so they can develop the kinds of friendships that are required to grow into well-adjusted and happy adults.67. The underlined word ―unfounded‖ in Paragraph 1 probably means _________.A. undoubtedB. falseC. acceptableD. illegal68. In this passage, the author mainly argues that _________.A. internet culture causes various problemsB. we are losing some most important emotionsC. online friendships do good to offline friendshipsD. social networking affects young people’s personalities69. By the underlined sentence in Paragraph 4, Turkle probably means _________.A. we rely on social network for connectionB. being alone is necessary for being togetherC. being alone makes us know ourselves betterD. we hardly communicate while being together70. From the passage, we can learn that _________.A. we are becoming unable to understand others wellB. young people will develop offline friendshipsC. young people can’t go without social mediaD. social media have more advantages第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，共10分）Is My Dog a Wolf?In the old days wolves and dogs shared the same ancestor. 71 . And wolves stayed wolves. Even though it has been thousands of years since dogs have been wild, many things a dog does by instinct (本能) a wolf also does.Why does my dog chew my stuff?I t’s not because he’s mad at you. The baby wolf chews on a deer bone for several reasons. There is some small nutritional value gained by chewing bones. 72 . But mostly, it is just fun and tastes good. Most of us don’t leave deer bones lying around the house, so table legs, shoes, and sticks probably seem like good bone replacements. Many dogs get scared or bored when they are left alone, and chewing on something can be comforting and entertaining to them.73 . So when he eats your homework, it really means he misses having you around.Why does my dog play with dirt?74 . Wolves dig holes to hide leftover food and bones, so they’ll have a nice snack for later. Some dig to catch small underground animals, which make tasty snacks. Or they dig to create a cool hole to lie in during the summer…or a warm snow cave in the winter. Adult wolves dig underground caves for their ba bies to provide shelter and safety. Dogs may dig for some of the same reasons, but one thing is for sure: newly dug dirt has all sorts of interesting smells which they are crazy about.Once you understand that dogs and wolves are similar, you can look at the ways they are different. In the wild, wolves live by wolf rules. Most of their days are spent caring for the young, resting, and hunting. 75 . Their willingness to do this is probably the biggest difference between the two species. That’s why dog s can become human’s friends while wolves never.A. Dogs, however, must live by people rules both inside and outside the home.B. If that ―something‖ smells like you, it is all the more attractive.C. D igging is a survival tool for wolves, but it’s just fu n for dogs.D. Gradually, dogs changed to become their own species.E. Wolf and dog noses also do more than just smell.F. It is also the way wolves brush their teeth.G. How are they different?第四部分书面表达（共两节35分）第一节（15分）假设你是红星中学高三学生李华，你的英国朋友Jim在给你的邮件中提到他对中国传统节日很感兴趣，并请你介绍一个你喜欢的中国传统节日。

I was very excited when it arrived because I bought it with money I saved from doing odd jobs over summer. Unfortunately, Ihave experienced several problems withmy Skunk Scooter.First of all, the front wheel shakesfrom side to side, making the scooterdifficult to ride. And also, it makes a horrible sound. The sound is louder and more annoying than a roaring engine. My dad and I had to tighten the screws (螺丝). However, it did not help. The wheel continues to shake. The scooter is faulty and cannot be repaired.In addition, I cannot adjust the handlebars. According to your website, they can be easily raised to a height of thirty-six inches. This does not seem to be true. The handlebars are set at thirty inches, and they cannot be raised or lowered. It appears that the knob that is used to adjust the height is jammed into the handlebars, which makes it impossible to turn in either direction.Although you advertised the Skunk Scooter as “the quickest, slickest scooter on the planet,” my purchase was an exception. Since your website promises to accept returns, I want my money back. I have sent you a copy of my receipt. Please let me know how I should ship the scooter back to your company. I know that you would not want customers to keep broken products. Therefore, I would like to thank you in advance. My money can be mailed to me at 3260 N.

He was born in Auckland, New Zealand, in 1919. He discovered an interest in mountain climbing while he was still in high school and began climbing New Zealand’s Southern Alps.Like his father, Hillary earned his living as a beekeeper. However, he continued to climb mountains. His goal was to climb Mt. Everest, which is the highest mountain in the world. By the early 1950s, several expeditions (探险队) had attempted to reach the summit of Everest, but all had failed. Then, in 1953, Hillary and a Nepalese climber named Tenzing Norgay became the first two people to reach the top of the world.Hillary’s spirit of expl oration was not satisfied. He joined an expedition to Antarctica and reached the South Pole in 1958. He also made an expedition up the Ganges River to its source in the Himalayas. Sir Edmund Hillary was a brave adventurer. He went where no man or woman had gone before.Although Hillary was best known as the young man who climbed to the summit of Mt. Everest in the 1950s, he continued his journeys to far-off places into his senior years.For instance, in his mid-sixites Hillary flew to the North Pole with Neil Armstrong, the first man on the moon. Moreover, Hillary authored many books. However, his most lasting gift, perhaps, was the Sir Edmund Hillary Himalayan Trust (信托基金). It raised millions of dollars and contributed to schools, hospitals and many other public improvements in the Sherpa villages of Nepal. In January 2008, Sir Edmund Hillary died at the age of 88.Despite being a great adventurer and known for the treasure he left, Sir Edmund Hillary always modestly referred to himself as a simple beekeeper from New Zealand.60. Hillary was interested in _________ when he was in high school.A. mountain-climbingB. bee-keepingC. money-raisingD. story-writing61.Hillary became well-known because _________.A. he reached both the South Pole and the North PoleB. he was the first to reach the top of Mt. EverestC. he lived in places where no humans had goneD. he made a lot of money as a beekeeper62. _________ is the right order of Hillary’s expeditions.a. He traveled to the source of the Ganges River.b. He climbed New Zealand’s Southern Alps.c. He reached the summit of Everest.d. He explored the North Pole.A.a-c-d-bB. b-d-c-aC. a-b-c-dD.b-c-a-d63. We can learn from the passage that Hillary is _________.A. outgoing and fearlessB. talented and honestC. determined and caringD. hardworking and carefulCThroughout childhood, kids are encouraged to take good care of their bodies by getting enough rest, exercising regularly, eating healthful foods, and drinking plenty of water. But recently children and teenagers have been warned to protect their skin. Skin cancer is on the rise among young people. Teens should make some basic lifestyle changes to help slow this trend.Melanoma, a skin cancer, is the second most common form of cancer for people aged 15 to 29. Unfortunately, the risk of developing it has increased in recent years. One of the most important causes of melanoma is UV radiation (辐射) damage. Scientists think that some of this damage is directly linked to the use of tanning beds (皮肤美黑床). Now they have found that these beds produce UV A radiation and UVB radiation, both of which are dangerous.Clearly, avoiding tanning beds is one way teens can protect their skin, but they must do more. They need to protect themselves from too much sun exposure as well. They must learn to stay out of the sun in summer. Doctors say that to avoid the harmful rays of the sun, young people should stay indoors between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m., when the rays are the strongest. When teens have to be outdoors during these hours, they should use sunscreen that provides protection from both UV A and UVB rays.Protection is the most effective weapon in the battle against melanoma, but paying close attention to the skin is also vital. Melanoma often begins as a mole (痣) on the skin. If it’s caught before it spreads below the skin’s surface, it’s highly curable. Therefore, teens should watch for both new moles and existing moles. If they see anything that looks unusual, they should visit a skin doctor right away.Teens who continue to bake in the sun to achieve thatperfect tan should realize the potential consequences of their behavior. Is a sun-kissed look really worth the risk of melanoma? It’s not too late to change your habits and reduce your exposure to harmful UV rays. Take action now to protect your skin and avoid this deadly disease later. 64. Teens are warned to protect their skin because_________.A. their lifestyles are not healthyB. skin helps slow the radiation damageC. skin cancer is growing among teenagersD. they spend longer time staying outdoors65. In Paragraph 2, the author mainly talks about_________ of melanoma.A. the causeB. the preventionC. the symptomD. the treatment66. _________ is the effective protection of skin.A. Using tanning bedsB. Eating more healthful foodsC. Visiting a skin doctor frequentlyD. Reducing exposure to strong UV raysDThe biggest criticism (批评) of social networking is that our young people are losing their offline friends to online friends. In fact there is a lot of research that shows these criticisms are generally unfounded. Research by Allen et al. found that people are not replacing offline friends with online companions but are using them to support their offline relationships. They also found that our online friendships actually allow us to have discussions with a much more diverse set of people than in the real world and improve our psychological happiness.However, there is one part of social networking that isdeeply worrying. We find ourselves in a hyper-connected world where people access social media day and night, excited to make announcements about the tiniest details of their lives. Research is starting to show that this culture is negatively affecting not our friendships but our character.Professor Larry D. Rosen, in his book iDisorder, presents evidence that social networking is turning us into narcissists (自恋者). He says that young people who overuse social networking sites can become vain, aggressive, and show anti-social behavior in their offline lives. But perhaps an even more disturbing effect is that one of our most basic emotions seems to be disappearing––empathy. This is the emotion that bonds us together; it allows us to see the world from our friends’ points of view. Without it, we are far less able to connect and form meaningful adult relationships.Sherry Turkle, a professor of social sciences at MIT, suggests that people are no longer comfortable being alone. This is something confirmed by a study where 200 university students were asked to go without social media for 24 hours. Many admitted an addiction to their online social network; most complained that they felt cut off from family and friends. But being alone is a time, Turkle argues, when we self-reflect and get in touch with who we really are. It is only when we do this that we can make meaningful friendships with others. She believes, as is the title of her 2011 book, that we are simply “Alone Together.”These potential changes in our characters are rather disturbing. If nothing is done, our young people could well be in trouble. Therefore, suggestions about ways toencourage our young people to avoid the problems of social networking should be made, so they can develop the kinds of friendships that are required to grow into well-adjusted and happy adults.67. The underlined word “unfounded” in Paragraph 1 probably means _________.A. undoubtedB. falseC. acceptableD. illegal68. In this passage, the author mainly argues that _________.A. internet culture causes various problemsB. we are losing some most important emotionsC. online friendships do good to offline friendshipsD. social networking affects young people’s personalities69. By the underlined sentence in Paragraph 4, Turkle probably means _________.A. we rely on social network for connectionB. being alone is necessary for being togetherC. being alone makes us know ourselves betterD. we hardly communicate while being together70. From the passage, we can learn that _________.A. we are becoming unable to understand others wellB. young people will develop offline friendshipsC. young people can’t go without social mediaD. social media have more advantages第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，共10分）Is My Dog a Wolf?In the old days wolves and dogs shared the same ancestor. 71 . And wolves stayed wolves. Even though it has been thousands of years since dogs have been wild, many things a dog does by instinct (本能) a wolf alsodoes.Why does my dog chew my stuff?It’s not because he’s mad at you. The baby wolf chews on a deer bone for several reasons. There is some small nutritional value gained by chewing bones. 72 . But mostly, it is just fun and tastes good. Most of us don’t leave deer bones lying around the house, so table legs, shoes, and sticks probably seem like good bone replacements. Many dogs get scared or bored when they are left alone, and chewing on something can be comforting and entertaining to them. 73 . So when he eats your homework, itWhy does my dog play with dirt?74 . Wolves dig holes to hide leftover food and bones, so they’ll have a nice snack for later. Some dig to catch small underground animals, which make tasty snacks. Or they dig to create a cool hole to lie in during the summer…or a warm snow cave in the winter. Adult wolves dig underground caves for their babies to provide shelter and safety. Dogs may dig for some of the same reasons, but one thing is for sure: newly dug dirt has all sorts of interesting smells which they are crazy about.Once you understand that dogs and wolves are similar, you can look at the ways they are different. In the wild, wolves live by wolf rules. Most of their days are spent caring for the young, resting, and hunting. 75 . Their willingness to do this is probably the biggest difference between the two species. That’s wh y dogs can become human’s friends while wolves never.A. Dogs, however, must live by people rules both inside and outside the home.B. If that “something” smells like you, it is all the moreattractive.C. Digging is a survival tool for wolves, but it’s ju st fun for dogs.D. Gradually, dogs changed to become their own species.E. Wolf and dog noses also do more than just smell.F. It is also the way wolves brush their teeth.G. How are they different?第四部分书面表达（共两节35分）第一节（15分）假设你是红星中学高三学生李华，你的英国朋友Jim 在给你的邮件中提到他对中国传统节日很感兴趣，并请你介绍一个你喜欢的中国传统节日。

Mr. Stewart Thomas, a parent of two students at Star Middle School, firstly came up with the idea. Mr.Thomas is a fan of walking and wants to encourage others to appreciate the activity. He shared his idea with our principal, Ms. Howser, who immediately agreed that we should try it.Ms. Howser contacted the other middle schools in the district, and all the teachers eagerly adopted the program. Now a team of Count-Your-Steps organizers made up of representatives from the middle schools, hasestablished the program ' goal: to increase awareness of the benefits ofwalking. Organizers want middle school students to accept this challenge and make walking one of their daily activities.The program has clear guidelines. Interested participants must only commit to recording the number of steps taken daily. Ms. Earley, theassistant principal, will give each of us a log for recording our steps and a pedometer, which is a small, digital tool used to count the steps of the person wearing it. All participants need to do each day is to wear the pedometer, walk as much as possible, and then record the number of steps in our logs.Clearly, the process is simple and convenient.While the benefits of walking are multiple, this challenge offers all who participate the opportunity to work together, achieve success, and makepositive changes. Remember that the other schools in the district are signedup for the Count-Your-Steps too, and each one will try to take more steps than our school. I hope many will agree to this challenge and show everyone the Star Middle School Cougar Spirit.Please take into careful consideration this valuable and well-planned program, and then sign up today! In the words of Mr. Thomas, Together we can enjoy the advantages of walking. "/Sincerely, /Cora Jeffries /36. firstly suggested the Count-Your-Steps walking program.A. Mr. ThomasB. Ms. EarleyC.

Thirteen hundred tons of fuel oil were flowing right in the middle of the African Penguins ' habitSoon the oil covered about 20,000 penguins. Without swift help, the seabirds would have no chance for survival. \olunteers were showing up by the thousands and I also took part in what was the largest animal rescue operation ever.A warehouse was turned into a rescue center near the habitat and hundreds of pools were built to hold about 100 oiled birds each. When walking into the center, I couldn ' believe my ears I had expected to walk into a chorus of honking and squawking〔叫声〕.Instead, the center sounded like a library. The penguins were dead silent. My heart ached for the painful birds. Cleaning them all seemed like an impossible task. But we had to carry on like doctors in an emergency room. There was no time for doubt. Cleaning oil off a penguin wasn . Evetnewish more than12,500 volunteers, it took a month to bathe all 20,000 birds at the center.While volunteers were busy bathing the oiled penguins, another crisis〔危机〕was developing. Oil from the spill had started moving north. Tens of thousands of penguins were in the oil 'path. But we already had our hands full with 20,000 recovering birds. If any more birds were oiled, we wouldn ' t have enough to save them.One researcher came up with an idea: What if the penguins were temporarily moved out of harm ' s way? Experts decidedvko a try. Volunteers rounded up the penguins and released them 500 miles away. The hope was that by the time the seabirds swam home, the oil would be gone. The plan worked! Another 20,000 penguins were saved.The entire penguin rescue took about three months. More than 90% of the oiled penguins were successfully returned to the wild. Looking back on the rescue, I am still amazed by the work of the volunteers. What I could hardly believe was that we accomplished an impossible task.40. The African penguins were in danger because of.A. a knock by a shipB. a spill of oilC. a change of habitatsD. a lack of help41. When walking into the rescue center, the author felt.A. ambitiousB. hopelessC. shockedD. inspired42. The crisis was ended by.A. stopping the flow of the oilB. cleaning the polluted habitatC. asking more volunteers to helpD. moving the penguins from home43. The author mainly intends to tell us that.resourcesA. many hands make great workB. where there is a will there is a wayC. the future of wildlife is in our handsD. unite to make the earth pollution-freeCResearchersat Brigham found about one in five teenagersnow have some degree of hearing damage. The researchers did not say why hearing loss has risen, but other experts have strong suspicions. One likely culprit, they say, is MP3 players.An MP3 player can be dangerous to hearing when its decibel level is turned uptoo high. High-decibel sounds can damage nerve endings, called hair cells. If a sound is loud enough, the damage can be permanent. A loud sound can shake the membrane 傅膜〕on which the hair cells sit—“like an earthquake That"shake can E. how our body is unable to regrow hair cellsF. how much damage the ear can avoidbreak or even uproot hair cells. When that happens, the hair cells are finished. Human earscannot regrow hair cells. Therefore, when listening to an MP3 player, set a volume limit andavoid exposure to loud sounds. 45.On the other hand the loudness of today ' s music may not be totally under your control.Music companies have been purposely turning up the volume. It ' s a trend called the fightfor loudness.Play a CD from the 1990s. Then play a newly released tune. Don' t touch the volumecontrol. You' ll probably notice that the new CD sounds louder than the old one. Why?Sound engineers who create CDs are using dynamic rangecompression旺缩〕,a technology that makes the quiet parts of a song louder and G. Sound engineers face tough competition.the loud parts quieter. The overall effect of compression is a louder recording.Many musicians and sound engineers aren ' pleased They say that compression is driving down the quality of today blaring. Gray Hobish, asound engineer, explains that music should be a combination of loudness and softness. But music companies want to make music louder so it will stand out. That' important in the competition among recording companies.What about listeners? Many teenagers listen to music on the go in noisy places and through headphones, all of which reduce sound quality. So young listeners may “the music sounds fineAnd they are not aware of the hidden threat of the music theyare enjoying.〞44. The phrase “like an earthquake. 2 aiimPskBexplain.A . that volume can strongly affect parts of the ear46. What is probably the best title for the passage?B. Your Hearing Is Going!C. The Damaged EarsD. Are You a Good Listener?DAntiquities are ancient objects and artworks. Museums acquire works to display from many different sources. Sometimes they purchase them. Other times they receive donations. Today there are strict rules forbidding art that has been stolen from other countries. However, antiquities that have been at museums for decades or even centuries may have arrived there by questionable means. Now, some countries claim that museums have a responsibility to return these antiquitiesD. that hair cells are easily damagedWhat can we learn about todays music business?A. New technology improves the quality of music.B. Young listeners today prefer louder sound.C. Music companies sacrifice quality forloudness.s music, making it sound flat And讣e Loudness War not notice the poorer quality of modern recordings. “To their ears, " says Hobis h,to their original locations.There are many examples of this debate. Perhaps themost famous is the argument between Greece and th UKover the Elgin marbles. In the early 19th century, theEarl〔伯爵〕of Elgin had numerous sculptures taken fromGreece to the UK. When Elgin did this, Greece was still apart of the Ottoman Empire. He claimed that he had received a permit to export the sculptures. Today the marbles are on display in the British Museum. However, Greece wants them to be returned to their original location.Should museums return these antiquities? Experts disagree. Malcolm Bell III says yes. Bell is a retired professor of art at the University of Virginia. He says, “Many antiquities and artworks have special cultural value for a particular community or nation. When these works are removed from their original cultural setting they lose their context and the culture loses a part of its history.According to Bell, a country ' s request for the return of an antiquity has a strong legal basis. " Itcalled the return of antiquities “an expression of justice. 〞James Cuno says not always. Cuno is president of an art museum in Los Angeles. He is also the author of the book Who Owns Antiquity?. Cuno agrees that museums have “asocial and legal responsibility to “return illegally exported antiquities. However, he doesn ' t support the return of legally acquired works.“An area of land held today by a given natioistate in the past likely belongedto a different political entity〔实体〕.Even if one wanted to reunite scattered worksof art, where would one do so? Which among the many countries, cities, and museums in possession of parts of a work of art should be the chosen reunited work?〞 Cuno believes that museums should collect art from the world ' s diverse cultures. This should be done “throughpurchase or long-term loan andThis debate is far from over. As a complex question with no easy answer, the issue requires more study.47. The passage mainly discusses.A. the return of antiquitiesB. the sources of ancient objectsC. the cultural value of artworksD. the responsibility of museums48.

The road is getting very lonely. And these people are tough.

They had put us on the right road after all. And then they 53 good-bye and disappeared from view.If I’ve learned anything on this 54 journey of mine, it’s that around。
