Living just a few blocks from the beach, Natalie can see the ocean and hear the wave from her house. “It’s the ocean that makes Rockaway so special,” she says.On October 29, 2012, that ocean turned fierce. That night, Hurricane Sandy attacked the Ea st Coast, and Rockaway was hit especially hard. Fortunately, Natalie’s family escaped to Brooklyn shortly before the city’s bridge closed.When they returned to Rockaway the next day, they found their neighborhood in ruins. Many of Natalie’s friends had lo st their homes and were living far away. All around her, people were suffering, especially the elderly. Natalie’s school was so damaged that she had to temporarily attend a school in Brooklyn.In the following few days, the men and women helping Rockaway recover inspired Natalie. V olunteers came with carloads of donated clothing and toys. Neighbors devoted their spare time to helping others rebuild. Teenagers climbed dozens of flights of stairs to deliver water and food to elderly people trapped in powerless high-rise buildings.“My mom tells me that I can’t control what happens to me,” Natalie says. “but I can always choose how I deal with it.”Natalie’s choice was to help.She created a website page matching survivors in need with donors who wanted to help. Natalie posted introduction about a boy named Patrick, who lost his baseball card collecting when his house burned down. Within days, Patrick’s collection wasreplaced.In the coming months, her website page helped lots of kids: Christopher, who received a new basketball; Charlie, who got a new keyboard. Natalie also worked with other organizations to bring much-need supplies to Rockaway. Her efforts made her a famous person. Last April, she was invited to the White House and honored as a Hurricane Sandy Champion of Change.Today, the scars(创痕)of destruction are still seen in Rockaway, but hope is in the air. The streets are clear, and many homes have been rebuilt. “I can’t imagine living anywhere but Rockaway,” Natalie declares. “My neighborhood will be b ack, even stronger than before.”4. When Natalie returned to Rockaway after the hurricane, she found______.A. some friends had lost their livesB. her neighborhood was destroyedC. her school had moved to BrooklynD. the elderly were free from suffering5. According to paragraph4, who inspired Natalie most?A. The people helping Rockaway rebuildB. The people trapped in high rise buildingC. The volunteers donating money to survivorsD. Local teenagers bringing clothing to elderly people6. How did Natalie help the survivors?A. She gave her toys to the kidsB. She took care of younger childrenC. She called on the White House to helpD. She built an information sharing platform7. What does the story intend to tell us?A. Little people can make a big differenceB.A friend in need is a friend indeedC. East or West, home is bestD. Technology is powerCWealth starts with a goal saving a dollar at a time. Call it the piggy bank strategy(策略). There are lessons in that time-honored coin-saving container.Any huge task seems easier when reduced to baby steps. I f you wished to climb a 12,000-foot mountain, and could do it a day at a time, you would only have to climb 33 feet daily to reach the top in a year. If you want to take a really nice trip in 10 years for a special occasion, to collect the $15,000 cost, you have to save $3.93 a day. If you drop that into a piggy bank and then once a year put $1,434 in a savings account at 1% interest rate after-tax, you will have your trip money.When I was a child, my parents gave me a piggy bank to teach me that, if I wanted something, I should save money to buy it. We associate piggy banks with children, but in many countries, the little containers are also popular with adults. Europeans see a piggy bank as a sign of good fortune and wealth. Around the world, many believe a gift of a piggy bank on New Year’s Day brings good luck and financial success. Ah, but you have to put something in it.Why is a pig used as a symbol of saving? Why not an elephant bank, which is bigger and holds more coins? In the Middle Ages, before modern banking and credit instruments, people saved money at home, a few coins at a time dropped into a jar or dish. Potters(制陶工) made these inexpensive containers from an orange-colored clay(黏土) called “pygg,” and folks saved coins in pygg jars.The Middle English word for pig was “pigge”. While the Saxons pronounced pygg, referring to the clay, as “pug”, eventually the two words changed into the same pronunciation, sounding the “i” as in pig or piggy. As the word became less associated with the orange clay and more with the animal, a clever potter fashioned a pygg jar in the shape of a pig, delighting children and adults. The piggy bank was born.Originally you had to break the bank to get to the money, bringing in a sense of seriousness into savings. While piggy banks teach children the wisdom of saving, adults often need to relearn childhood lessons. Think about the things in life that require large amounts of money--- college education, weddings, cars, medical care, starting a business, buying a home, and fun stuff like great trips. So when you have money, take off the top 10%, put it aside, save and invest wisely.8. What is the piggy bank strategy?A. Paying 1% income tax at a time.B. Setting a goal before making a travel plan.C. Aiming high even when doing small things.D. Putting aside a little money regularly for future use.9. Why did the writer’s parents give him a piggy bank as a gift?A. To delight him with the latest fashion.B. To encourage him to climb mountains.C. To help him form the habit of saving.D. To teach him English pronunciation.10. What does then underlined word “something”(Para. 3) most probably refer to?A. MoneyB. GiftsC. Financial successD. Good luck11. The last paragraph talks about ________.A. the seriousness of educating childrenB. the enjoyment of taking a great tripC. the importance of managing moneyD. the difficulty of starting a businessDTransparent（透明的）animals let light pass through their bodies the same way light passes through a window. These animals typically live between the surface of the ocean and a depth of about 3,300 feet—as far as most light can reach. Most of them are extremely delicate and can be damaged by a simple touch. Sonke Johnsen, a scientist in biology, says, “These animals live through their life alone. They never touch anything unless they’re eating it, or unless something is eating them.”And they are as clear as glass. How does an animal become see-through? It’s trickier than you might think.The objects around you are visible because they interact with light. Light typically travels in a straight line. But some materials slow and scatter(散射) light, bouncing it away from its original path. Others absorb light, stopping it dead in its tracks. Both scattering and absorption make an object look different from other objects around it, so you can see it easily.But a transparent object doesn’t absorb or scatter lig ht, at least not very much, Light can pass through it without bending or stopping. That means a transparent object doesn’t look very different from the surrounding air or water. You don’t see it ----you see the things behind it.To become transparent, an animal needs to keep its body from absorbing orscattering light. Living materials can stop light because they contain pigments(色素) that absorb specific colors of light. But a transparent animal doesn’t have pigments, so its tissues won’t absorb light. Acco rding to Johnsen, avoiding absorption is actually easy. The real challenge is preventing light from scattering.Animals are built of many different materials----skin, fat, and more----and light moves through each at a different speed. Every time light moves into a material with a new speed, it bends and scatters. Transparent animals use different tricks to fight scattering. Some animals are simply very small or extremely flat. Without much tissue to scatter light, it is easier to be see—through. Others build a large, clear mass of non-living jelly-lie(果冻状的)material and spread themselves over it .Larger transparent animals have the biggest challenge, because they have to make all the different tissues in their bodies slow down light exactly as much as water does. They need to look uniform. But how they’re doing it is still unknown. One thing is clear for these larger animals, staying transparent is an active process. When they die, they turn a non-transparent milky white.12. According to Paragraph 1, transparent animals_______.A. stay in groupsB. can be easily damagedC. appear only in deep oceanD. are beautiful creatures13. The underlined word “dead” in Paragraph 3 means__________.A. silentlyB. graduallyC. regularlyD. completely14. One way for an animal to become transparent is to ________.A. change the direction of light travelB. gather materials to scatter light.C. avoid the absorption of lightD. grow bigger to stop light.15. The last paragraph tells us that larger transparent animals________.A. move more slowly in deep waterB. stay see-through even after deathC. produce more tissues for their survivalD. take effective action to reduce light spreading第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，共10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

October8BAs Artificial Intelligence becomes increasingly complicated, there are growing concerns that robots could become a threat. This danger can be avoided, according to computer science professor Stuart Russell, if we figure out how to turn human values into a programmable code.Russell argues that as robots take on more complicated tasks, it’s necessary to translate our morals into AI language.For example, if a robot does chores around the house, you wouldn't want it to put the pet cat in the oven to make dinner for the hungry children. "You would want that robot preloaded with a good set of values," said Russell.Some robots are already programmed with basic human values. For example, mobile robots have been programmed to keep a comfortable distance from humans. Obviously, there are cultural differences, but if you were talking to another person and they came up close in your personal space, you wouldn't think that's the kind of thing a properly brought-up person would do.It will be possible to create more complex moral machines, if only we can find a way to set out human values as clear rules.Robots could also learn values from drawing patterns from large sets of data on human behavior. They are dangerous only if programmers are careless. The biggest concern with robots going against human values is that human beings fail to do enough testing and they've produced a system that will break some kind of taboo（禁忌）.One simple check would be to program a robot to check the correct course of action with a human when presented with an unusual situation.If the robot is unsure whether an animal is suitable for the microwave, it has the opportunity to stop, send out beeps, and ask for directions from a human. If we humans aren't quite sure about a decision, we go and ask somebody else.The most difficult step in programming values will be deciding exactly what we believe in moral, and how to create a set of ethical rules. But if we come up with an answer, robots could be good for humanity.4.What does the author say about the threat of robots?A. It may be a challenge to computer programmers.B. It accompanies all machinery involving high technology.C. It can be avoided if human values are translated into their language.D. It has become an inevitable danger as technology gets more sophisticated.5. How do robots learn human values?A. By interacting with humans in everyday life situations.B. By picking up patterns from massive data on human behavior.C. By following the daily routines of civilized human beings.D. By imitating the behavior of properly brought-up human beings.6. What will a well-programmed robot do when facing an unusual situation?A. Keep a distance from possible dangers.B. Do enough testing before taking action.C. Set off its built-in alarm system at once.D. Stop to seek advice from a human being.7. What is most difficult to do when we turn human values into a programmable code?A. Determine what is moral and ethical.B. Design some large-scale experiments.C. Set rules for man-machine interaction.D. Develop a more sophisticated program.CIn summer the extreme heat often makes people sweaty and restless. While people are annoyed by it, experts suggest summer is the best season to discharge (排放) your body’s toxins (毒素) and recover your energy.One popular option is hot-stone massage (按摩). Therapists use smooth and heated stones, usually river rocks, to massage certain parts of the body, or place them on key points of the body. The warmth of the hot stones will improve blood circulation and also help relax muscles, while sweating is also believed to be good for discharging the body’s toxins.Another popular option is hot-stone baths. The hot-stone bath will help the body discharge toxins and humidity that accumulated during the last winter. Summer is the best season to build a good body. Rather than use water or steam to heat and wash the body, people simply wear a coat or something comfortable, and then lie on heated stone tablets made of hot stones, which are warmed to around 45oC. The body will gradually warm up and blood circulation will also be improved. More sweat will come out quickly. The sweat is smooth and fresh, not smelly like that released after sports activities. Such baths bring a number of health benefits, such as anti-aging, improved blood circulation and stress relief. The slimming effect of dieting can even be promoted.Using hot stones for healing dates back to ancient times, but the modern renewal of hot-stone massage is generally credited to Mary Nelson, a native of Tuc son, Arizona, America, whose trademark is “LaStone Therapy”.The therapy is gaining wide popularity with many people, especially those who have jobs in cool air-conditioned rooms. The hot-stone therapy can help cure many diseases, including back pain.8. What do people use to release toxins in our body according to the text?A. Washing the body with cold water.B. Discharging lots of sweat.C. Relaxing musclesD. Lying on the warm beds.9. What can we know from the text?A. Sports have greater effects on the health than hot-stone massage.B. There are no toxins and humidity in the body in summer.C. Using water of about 45oC to wash the body is good for the health.D. People should take advantage of summer to improve their health.10. What can be learned about the hot-stone therapy?A. It was invented by Mary Nelson, an American.B. It successfully cured many people of cancer.C. It is popular with people with its excellent effects.D. It can help people avoid sweating too much in hot summer.11. Which of the following could be the best title for the text?A. The origin and development of the hot-stone therapyB. The amazing functions of the hot-stone therapyC. A healthy and comfortable lifestyleD. How to live comfortably in summerDEvery year billions of pounds are spent on hair loss treatment. If we succeed in curing hair loss with 3D printed hair follicles (毛囊), it will be a huge revolution.L’Oreal ( 欧莱雅）, the cosmetics firm is partnering with a French bio-printing company called Poietis, which has developed a form of laser printing for cell-based objects. Poietis’ technique begins with the creation of a digital map that determines where living cells and other tissue components should be placed to create the desired biological structure. This involves how the cells are expected to grow over time. The file based on the digital map is then turned into instructions for the printing equipment, so that it can lay down tiny droplets （小滴）made out of the cell-based "bio ink" one layer at a time. The printing process involves bouncing （使反弹）a pulsing laser （脉冲激光器） off a mirror and through a lens, so that when it hits a ribbon (色带) containing the bio ink, a droplet of the matter falls into place. About 10,000 of these micro-droplets are created every second.It typically takes about 10 minutes to print a piece of skin 1cm wide by 0.5mm thick. However, since hair follicles are complex and consist of 15 different cells in a structure, they may take longer.Poietis is not the only company working on bio-printing, but most othersuse another way, which involves pushing a bio-ink through a nozzle (喷嘴), rather than lasers to build their tissue. Poietis suggests its technique putsless stress on the biological matter, meaning there is less risk of causingit damage.Alopecia UK—a charity that provides support and advice about hair loss—has mixed feelings about the development. “It is encouraging to knowthat companies such as L’Oreal are investing in technology that may help thosewith hair loss in the future,” said spokeswoman Amy Johnson.“However, we would suggest it’s still very early to be getting excitedabout what this potentially could mean for those with medical hair loss. Atthis point it is unclear as to whether this technology could benefit those withall types of hair loss.”“Also, if this new technology does lead to a treatment option, given thehigh costs of existing hair transplant procedures, how many people will be ableto realistically afford any new technological advances that may become available? As with any other research and development into processes that maybe able to help those with hair loss, we watch with great interest.”12. What does Paragraph 2 mainly tell us?A. How the printing process is carried out.B. Where the living cells should be placed.C. How long the cells are expected to grow.D. What the printing equipment is made up of.13. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 4 refer to?A. hair follicleB. biological matterC. nozzleD. bio-ink14. The passage implies that the new technology may ______.A. meet some practical challengesB. help people with hair loss at presentC. offer solutions to all problems of hair lossD. cost a large sum of money to transplant hair15.

It's a classroom; but instead of being told to sit quietly and listen, you are encouraged to stand up, jump around, imagine and act out it's a class full of laughter and applause（掌声）, emotion and energy． Welcome to drama class, one of my favorite classes at high school．In drama class we used to play a lot of" drama games． We would improvise（即兴表演）, mime（模仿） and above all use our imaginations．My favorite game was called "Spotto"． One person stood at the front of the class and performed a scene, completely out of their imagination． When one audience member yelled "Spotto!", the performer had to ________． Then the person who had yelled Spotto had to get up and improvise a new scenario （剧情）based on the position the first performer froze in． This went on as more and more people were added to the scene．Eventually the entire class would have joined the scene． Then the performers would start to leave in reverse（颠倒的）order． The first performer had to have a good memory to remember all the other scenes．It was a lot of fun, and a good test of everyone's imagination to see what they would come up with．Drama class at my school often involved a big performance at the end of the semester as well． We would work on a production throughout the semester and put on a show for our parents and the school community．It was a great experience to perform on stage in front of a large audience． Drama class can help shy children to come out of their shells． It helped me become more confident and developed my public speaking skills． Drama class is also a great place to express yourself, and a way for children to use up some of their energy．（1）Which of the following statements is TRUE about the game "Spotto" as described in the article？________A "Spotto" is designed to help drama students lean from one another's performance．B A performer has to think of a story completely unrelated to that of the performer before him or her．C Each performer in a "Spotto" game has to retell the story of the performer directly after him or her．D Every student gets the chance to make a contribution to the "Spotto" game．（2）The underlined word "freeze" in Paragraph 3 probably means________．A stop．B quit．C change．D wait．（3）We can infer from the article that the author________．A Doesn't like to sit quietly in class．B never performed well in the drama games．C used to be quite a shy student．D used to shine in performances．（4）What is the article mainly about？________A Unforgettable experiences on stage．B One of the author's favorite high school courses．C How to improve your drama skills．D A few drama games for fun．4.

What can we infer about Delaware from the text?A. It is the city of music.B. It is a city of high expense.C. It is the home of Bob Dylan.D. It is not a summer destination.23. What is the purpose of Icelanders to hold the Secret Solstice festival?A. To welcome summer.B. To memorize the past winter.C. To celebrate the coming of spring.D. To advise the local beautiful landscapes.BLet me tell you about my relationship with the school desk.From my first day at Penny Camp Elementary School in 1982,it was terrible.This is how it went down: five seconds into class, the foot start bouncing;10 seconds in, both feet; 15 seconds,I burst out the drums ! After a few minutes,it’s all over. I’m trying to put my leg behind my nec k.No,that desk and I didn’t get along.Sitting still was hard enough,but I also struggled with reading.Reading out loud in class was a special kind of hell(地狱).By the third grade I had progressed from being one of “those kids” to being the “special kid”. I was found to have multiple language-based learning disabilities and attention deficit disorder (A.D.D) (注意力缺陷障碍症). I was turned into a “patient” who needed treatment rather than a human being with differences.I struggled with severe anxiety and depression at age 10.I survived this time in my life because of my mom. She knew in her heart that her child wasn’t broken and didn’t need to be fixed.My mom was right. When I think back on my school experience.I realize it wasn’t the A.D.D. that disabled me. What disabled me were limitations not in myself but in the environment. I’ve come to believe that I did not have a disability, as it is common to say, but experienced disability in environments that could not accommodate and accept my differences.In the fall of 1977,after two years at Loyola Marymount University,where my learning differences were fully accommodated, I transferred to(转学)Brown University, where I graduated with an honors degree in English literature. I still can’t spell or sit still,but I now use support and technology to relieve my weakness and build a life on my strengths. I don’t feel stupid anymore and I know that I—and others like me—can live good lives despite these challenges.24．What does the author want to tell us in the first paragraph?A. He didn’t like to study.B. He used to be active at school.C. He suffered from a broken desk.D. He had trouble sitting still in class.25．How did the author probably feel in class in his early school years?A.Exited.B.Uneasy.C.Interested.D.Bored.26．Which of the following is correct according to the last paragraph?A. He is living a good life with his weakness.B. His disability has been cured by technology.C. He got his honors degree in English literature in the fall of 1997.D. He was transferred to Brown University because of his disability.27．From the passage we learn that__________.A. a disability is nothing but a differenceB. family’s support is the most importantC. disabled people can’t live well however hard they workD. sometimes limitations of the environment disable a personCRow after row they marched — thousands of larger-than-life figures frozen in clay, a phalanx(方阵) of officials defend ing the tomb of China’s first emperor.Silently they guarded beneath the soil for 2,200 years, until a farmer digging a well in 1974 found broken piece s of unparalleled significance near China’s early capital city, Xianyang.Now those fierce warriors have reached the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts(VMFA) to tell their extraordinary story. The exhibition will be on display at VMFA from Saturday, November 18, 2017 through March 11, 2018 before traveling to the Cincinnati Art Museum.Ten of the clay figures will stand with a total of 130 objects from 14 museums and archaeological institutes in China’s Shaanxi P rovince, where the current city of Xi’an is located. Forty of the objects have never left China before. Beyond the life-size clay figures, the exhibit brings perspective with objects that range from bronze spearheads found in the emperor’s tomb to a small gold tiger that pre-dated him by more than 250 years.The fascination draws lots of visitors wherever the terracotta figures have traveled. The National Geographic Museum in Washington had a record-setting 280,000 people at itsfour-month exhibit of 15 figures in 2009—2010. Chicago’s Field Museum attracted 460,000 to its 10-month exhibit that ended in January.At the same time with the VMFA exhibit, Philadelphia’s Franklin Institute will have a terracotta warriors exhibit that focuses on the science and technology that went into their creation. VMFA focuses on why they were created and how they fit into China’s long sweep of history. Each institution has 10 life-size terracotta figures on display, giving an unprecedented(空前的) opportunity to study them in depth.The VMFA exhibition is divided into three sections. The first one introduces the emperor; the second puts him in context with artifacts from the warring states; the third shows his journey into the afterlife.28. According to Paragraph 2, some of the items on display .A. have not gone abroadB. have just been discoveredC. are from museums all over ChinaD. were earlier than China’s first emperor29. How many American cities will hold the exhibition of terracotta warriors?A. 2.B. 3.C. 4.D. 5.30. How do Americans think of terracotta warriors?A. Attractive.B. Aggressive.C. Professional.D. Conservative.31. What is the best title for the text?A.Terracotta Warriors of ChinaB.The Exhibit of China’s First EmperorC.Terracotta Warriors Exhibits in the USD. New Discoveries in Terracotta WarriorsDGenealogy, also known as family history, is the study of families and the footmarks of their lineages(家系) and history. Genealogists use oral interviews, historical records, genetic analysis, and other records to obtain information about a family and to prove kinship(亲属关系) and lineages of its members. The results are often displayed in charts or written as descriptions.The pursuit of family history and origins tends to be shaped by several impetuses, including the desire to carve out a place for one’s family in the larger historical picture, a sense of responsibility to preserve the past for future generations, and a sense of self-satisfaction in accurate storytelling.In communitarian societies, one’s identity is established as much by one’s kinnetwork as by individual achievement, and the question ＂Who are you?＂ would be answered by a description of father, mother, and lineages. New Zeala nd Māori, for example, learn genealogies to discover who they are.In societies such as Australia or the United States, there was by the 20th-century growing pride in the pioneers and nation-builders. Establishing descent(继承) from these was, and is, important to such groups as the Daughters of the American Revolution(DAR).Modern family history explores new sources of status, such as celebrating the rebirth of families that survived generations of poverty or slavery, or the success of families in combining across racial or national boundaries. Some family histories even emphasize links to celebrity criminals, such as the bushranger(绿林好汉) Ned Kelly in Australia.The growing interest in family history in the media coupled with easier access to online records has allowed those who are curious to do so to start investigating their ancestry. This curiosity can be particularly strong among those whose family histories were lost or unknown due to, for example, adoption or separation from family, perhaps as a result of bereavement(丧失).32. Which of the following is connected with genealogy?A. The DNA tests.B. Historicalnovels.C. Political positions.D. Education standards.33. What is the meaning of the underlined word ＂impetuses＂ in Paragraph 2?A. Results.B. Drives.C. Categories.D. Exploitations.34. Why do Māori study genealogies?A. To get achievements.B. To learn their origins.C. To change their identities.D. To create their kin network.35. What do we know about genealogy from Paragraph 4?A. DAR is a genealogy organization.B. Organizations have their genealogy.C. Australia is a pioneer in genealogy.D. Genealogy inspires the love for nation.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。

A doctor measured their pulse to time how long they actually spent on asleep. Competitors earned extra points for snoring (打鼾),sleeping in strange positions, or wearing silly pajamas (睡衣).The winners of each round advance to the next stage in the competition.It’s amazing that any of those people would fall asleep in the middle of s uch a busy place, while on couches that they are not used to. Yet, many of them did. They hugged pillows or soft toy bears. They covered their eyes with sleep masks, too. Whatever it took to help them fall asleep fast and stay asleep.The siesta is a tradition in Spain that many feel is becoming forgotten. It used to be that people would take a brief nap after lunch every day. This would energize them, and keep them going for the rest of the day. Not to mention the health benefits of a good nap. But, t hat’s all changing. People are too busy making money or watching gossip shows on TV after lunch to care about taking a nap.The National Association of Friends of the Siesta wants to bring Spain back to their traditional roots. They are doing this by having the siesta competition. They set up the competition to reward the best sleepers with money. Actually, they were paid to sleep.There are really health benefits to a midday nap. We could all learn from this tradition. It’s a much better way to g et more energy than drinking a cup of coffee. It is also believed that a nap, and in fact a good night’s sleep, can help reduce heart disease. The more rested we are, the less stress we feel with day-to-day life.4.

Now we have to act very smartly and plan something to sustain what we still have, getting all necessary support from nature to lead healthy lives.Gardening is always an excellent and environmentally friendly idea. If you can go for sustainable gardening, then it will be even more useful for all. Gardening is a favorite hobby for many. It is time to channelize your hobby towards a more meaningful motivation.When we do gardening we need to use different ingredients(材料) to grow plants. Some of them are natural resources like water, soil, sunshine, and many things like this. Using these resources smartly is a part of sustainable gardening. Some simple techniques include: use less water and organic things to grow plants; try to store rainwater so that you can use them for gardening; try using less energy to drive devices; avoid using plastics in any form while gardening; reuse the leaves from your garden to fertilize them. These are the basic sustainable measures. To do so we need to have proper knowledge about gardening and its requirements so that we can use proper resources without wasting any of them.In today’s busy life we don’t get much time to spend on our environment. Gardening gives us a chance to do so. We can also have some pesticide-free(无农药的) and fresh food if we grow them in our garden. This is the right time to do some good to protect our own environment and gardening is one of the easiest ways. Do you want to start gardening, but you’re not sure how?

Where is the passage probably taken from?A. A newspaper.B. The Internet.C. A guidebook.D. A science report.DMany people have long dreamed of being able to fly around as simply as riding a bicycle. Yet the safety and strength of a flying bike was always a big problem. Over the past 10 years, developments in technology have moved the dream of personal flying vehicles closer to reality. Now, two groups of inventors say such vehicles may be available soon.The British company Malloy Aeronautics has developed a prototype (原型) of its flying bicycle. Grant Stapleton, marketing sales director of Malloy Aeronautics, says the Hoverbike is able to get in and out of small spaces very quickly." It can be moved across continents very quickly because it can be folded and packed," he adds.Mr. Stapleton says safety was the company's main concern. He says the designers solved the safety issue by using overlapping rotors to power the vehicle.The company is testing a full-size prototype of the Hoverbike, which will most likely be used first by the police and emergency rescue teams.In New Zealand, Martin Aircraft Company is also testing a full-size prototype of its personal flying device, called the Jetpack. It can fly for more than 30 minutes, up to 1, 000meters high and reach a speed of 74 kilometers per hour.Peter Coker is the CEO of Martin Aircraft Company. He said the Jetpack "is built around safety from the star t". In his words, “Reliability is the most important element of it. We have safety built into the actual structure itself, very similar to a Formula One racing car.The Jetpack uses a gasoline-powered engine that produces two powerful jet streams. Mr. Coker says it also has a parachute that would be used, if there should be an emergency. "It starts to work at very low altitude and actually saves both the aircraft and the pilot," he adds. Mr. Coker says the Jetpack will be ready for sale soon.12. We can learn from the passage that the HoverbikeA. can hardly get in and out of small spaces quickly.B. can fly for over 30 minutes, up to l, 000 meters high.C. has been used by the police and emergency rescue teams.D. can be transported quickly after being folded and packed.13.

The underlined word "It" in the last paragraph refers to .A. the jet streamB. the engineC. the Jetpack.D. the parachute15. What is the author’s main purpose of writing the passage?A. To describe the problems of inventing flying vehicles.B. To introduce the latest development of flying vehicles.C. To show the differences between two flying vehicles.D. To advertise the two personal flying vehicles.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。
内蒙古赤峰二中2017-2018学年高二下学期第二次周考英语试题
赤峰二中周考英语试题第一部分：阅读理解In its early history, Chicago had floods frequently, especially in the spring, making the streets so muddy that people, horses, and carts got stuck. An old joke that was popular at the time went something like this: A man is stuck up to his waist in a muddy Chicago street. Asked if he needs help, he replies, "No, thanks. I've got a good horse under me."The city planner decided to build an underground drainage (排水) system, but there simply wasn't enough difference between the height of the ground level and the water level. The only two options were to lower the Chicago River or raise the city.An engineer named Ellis Chesbrough convinced me the city that it had no choice but to build the pipes above ground and then cover them with dirt. This raised the level of the city's streets by as much as 12 feet.This of course created a new problem: dirt practically buried the first floors of every building in Chicago. Building owners were faced with a choice: either change the first floors of their buildings into basements, and the second stories into main floors, or hoist the entire buildings to meet the new street level. Small wood-frame buildings could be lifted fairly easily. But what about large, heavy structures like Tremont Hotel, which was a six-story brick building?That's where George Pullman came in. He had developed some house-moving skills successfully. To lift a big structure like the Tremont Hotel, Pullman would place thousands of jackscrews (螺旋千斤顶) beneath the building's foundation. One man was assigned to operate each section of roughly 10 jackscrews. At Pullman's signal each man turned his jackscrew the same amount at the same time, thereby raising the building slowly and evenly. Astonishingly, the Tremont Hotel stay open during the entire operation, and many of its guests didn't even notice anything was happening. Some people like to say that every problem has a solution. But in Chicago's early history, every engineering solution seemed to create a new problem. Now thatChicago's waste water was draining efficiently into the Chicago River, the city's next step was to clean the polluted river.1. The author mentions the joke to show ______.A horses were fairly useful in ChicagoB Chicago's streets were extremely muddyC Chicago was very dangerous in the springD the Chicago people were particularly humorous2. The city planners were convinced by Ellis Chesbrough to_______.A. get rid of the street dirtB. lower the Chicago RiverC. fight against heavy floodsD. build the pipes above ground3. The underlined word "hoist" in Paragraph 4 means "_______".A changeB liftC repairD decorate4. What can we conclude about the moving operation of the Tremont Hotel?A It went on smoothly as intended.B It interrupted the business of the hotel.C It involved Pullman turning ten jackscrews.D It separated the building from its foundation.5. The passage is mainly about the early Chicago's ______.A. popular life styles and their influencesB. environmental disasters and their causesC. engineering problems and their solutionsD. successful businessmen and their achievementsBEvery scientific field uses the scientific method to conduct experiments. Performing experiments is very important in the field of psychology. Before beginning a study, however, any scientist who wishes to perform an experiment should be familiar with the steps of the scientific method. 6◆Form a hypothesis （假设）. It is an educated guess about what will happen during the study. 7 Coming up with a hypothesis before you start can help guide your experiment.◆Plan out a study. Planning out the experiment is essential because the psychologist needs to know if they have time, materials, and testing area prepared beforehand. This step also helps the scientist to determine if they will be performing descriptive or experimental research. The ideal situation is to always perform experimental research. 8 Descriptive research simply collects data regarding the problem and forms a hypothesis according to the data.◆Collect data. 9 If the data collected is not recorded and organized, the entire efforts of the study may be wasted. The best way to do this may be to record the proceedings so that no details are lost.◆Analyze the data. Once all the data has been collected and organized, it must be analyzed. Using previous research or scientific information about the problem, the psychologist must apply the new data gathered.◆Publish the information learned. The final step of the scientific method in psychology is publishing the results of the study. 10 Most psychological experiments are published in scientific journals.A. It is based on scientific facts, not just opinions.B. Read on to find out how to use the scientific method in psychology.C. Before psychologists start the experiment, they must plan out the steps.D. This helps other psychologists to learn about and use the new information.E. The scientific method has proved to be an effective way to conduct research.F. To fully understand the study, each part of the experiment must be recorded.G. Sometimes, however, this is impossible and descriptive research will have to be used.第二节：根据文章内容，从选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

One thinks of princes and presidents as some of the most powerful people in the world; however, governments, elected or otherwise, sometimes have had to struggle with the financial powerhouses called tycoons． The word tycoon is relatively new to the English language． It is Chinese in origin but was given as a title to some Japanese generals． The term was brought to the United States, in the late nineteenth century, where it eventually was used to refer to magnates who acquired immense fortunes from sugar and cattle, coal and oil, rubber and steel, and railroads．Some people called these tycoons “capitals of industry” and praised them for their contributions to U．S． wealth and international reputation．Others criticized them as cruel “robber barons”, who would stop at nothing in pursuit of personal wealth．The early tycoons built successful businesses, often taking over smaller companies to eliminate competition． A single company that came to control an entire market was called a monopoly． Monopolies made a few families very wealthy, but they also placed a heavy financial burden on consumers and the economy at large．As the country expanded and railroads linked the East Coast to the West Coast, localmonopolies turned into national corporations called trusts． A trust is a group of companies that join together under the control of a board of trustees． Railroad trusts are an excellent example． Railroads were privately owned and operated and often monopolized various routes, setting rates as high as they desired． The financial burden this placed on passengers and businesses increased when railroads formed trusts． Farmers, for example, had no choice but to pay, as railroads were the only means they could use to get their grain to buyers． Exorbitant （过高的） goods rates put some farmers out of business． There were even accusations that the trusts controlled government itself by buying votes and manipulating elected officials． In 1890 Congress passed the ShermanAntitrust． Act, legislation aimed at breaking the power of such trusts． The Sherman Antitrust Act focused on two main issues． First of all, it made illegal any effort to interfere with the normal conduct of interstate trade． It also made it illegal to monopolize any partof business that operates across state lines．Over the next 60 years or so, Congress passed other antitrust laws in an effort to encourage competition and restrict the power of larger corporations．（1） The Sherman Antitrust Act________．A.affected only the companies doing business within state lines．B.sought to eliminate monopolies in favor of competition in the market﹣place．C.promoted trade with a large number of nations．D.provides a financial advantage to the buyer．（2） One might infer from this passage that lower prices________．A.are more likely to exist in a competitive market economy．ually can be found only in an economy based on monopolies．C.matter only to people who are poor and living below the poverty level．D.are regulated by the government．（3） It seems likely that many Americans________．A.believed that the trusts had little influence over government．B.expected the wealthy magnates to share money with the poor．C.did little to build up American business．D.were worried that trusts might manipulate the government．【答案】BAD【考点】阅读理解综合【解析】本文是一篇议论文，讲述了最初由中国引进的垄断一词，在美国引起了人们和政府的担忧，垄断者通过吸纳其他小型的公司企业来消灭市场竞争，给其他小型企业和消费者带来了沉重的经济负担，针对此危机，美国实施一些法律旨在消除垄断，鼓励促进市场上的正常竞争．【解答】（1）B．细节理解题．由文中 In 1890 Congress passed the Sherman Antitrust．Act，legislation aimed at breaking the power of such trusts．国会通过the Sherman Antitrust．Act了，该法律旨在分解垄断权力，而且从第二段The early tycoons builtsuccessful businesses，often taking over smaller companies to eliminate competition．可知，垄断者会吸纳市场上的小公司，消除竞争．故分析出the Sherman Antitrust．Act旨在消除垄断权力，促进市场竞争，故选项B符合．（2）A．推理判断题．题目是提供给消费者价格越低的公司，会怎么样．由文中最后一段，在接下来的60年，国会会通过一些其他反垄断的法律，努力鼓励促进市场竞争，限制大型企业的权力．而由文中可知，大型的垄断企业，提供的价格会越高，所以可推断出提供价格越低的企业，更有可能在竞争性的市场中存活下来，故选A项．（3）D．细节理解题．通过最后一段第一句There were even accusations that the trusts controlled government itself by buying votes and manipulating elected officials可知，美国人担心垄断者会操纵政府；故选D．3. At one time no one could travel on an English road faster than four miles anhour． That was the law until 1896． A man had to walk in front of a car which could not go faster than the man． At night the man had to carry a red lamp．Once Charles Rolls brought a car from France to England, but he wanted to drive faster than four miles an hour． In order to have no trouble with the police, he had a talk with some of the police officers, who ordered their policemen to look the other way when thecar came along the road． This was a good plan in the country, but not so easy to follow in the busy streets of London．One night Rolls and some friends started from London on their journey to Cambridge． One of the men walked in front with the red lamp, but he walked as fast as he could． The police became very interested in walls and shop﹣fronts when they heard the car and not one of them saw it．They reached a hill, but what a waste of time it was to drive down the hill at four miles an hour! Rolls was getting ready to jump into the car, but then he noticed a policeman who was not looking the other way． The slow car reached him．“Good evening,” said the policeman, looking at the car．“Go od evening, ” said Rolls, holding the lamp．“One of these horseless things, ” said the policeman, looking at it with interest．“Yes,” said Rolls, and waited．“I’ve often wanted a ride in one,but of course policemen can’t buy things like t hat．” He turned and looked hopefully in Rolls’s face．“Jump in,” said Rolls．“Thanks,” said the policeman, and did so．“Now,” he said, sitting down, “You can let it go just as you like down this hill．There isn’t another policeman on this roa d for a mile anda half．”（1）The policemen were told “to look the other way” so that________．A.they could watch the car coming from the other direction．B.Rolls’s car could go faster than four miles an hour．C.they could make sure no one was in the way．D.the car would not hit them on the road．（2）In what way did the policemen carry out the order from their officers？________A.They greeted Rolls when the car came along．B.They walked in front of the car with a red lamp．C.They pretended to be attracted by something else．D.They stood on duty every 1.（3）The policeman who said “Good evening” to Rolls wanted to________．A.teach Rolls a lesson．B.take a free ride home．C.have a talk with Rolls．D.have a car ride experience．（4）After the policeman jumped into the car， Rolls________．A.dared not drive the car faster than he was allowed to．B.could drive as fast as he wished within a certain distance．C.could drive on any road he liked for the rest of the journey．D.drove his car as fast as he could down the hill to Cambridge．【答案】BCDB【考点】阅读理解综合完形综合【解析】本文讲述了1896年之前英国的法律规定人们在路上出行的速度不能超过每小时4英里．文章的主人公Charles Rolls从法国弄来一辆汽车，他想让车的时速超过每小时4英里，为了避免警察找麻烦，他就找了一些警官商谈让警员们对他超速行驶视而不见；以这种办法他顺利的将车开到了山顶．可是刚要开下山时，又碰到了警察．但是没想到警察对他的这辆不用马拉的车非常感兴趣，并帮着他一起超速往山下赶．【解答】（1）B．细节理解题根据第二段“In order to have no trouble with the police，…look the other way when the car came along the road．”“为了避免警察找麻烦，当汽车沿着这条路过来的时候，他找一些警官商谈让警员们对他超速行驶视而不见”，所以让警官告诉警察们“to look the other way”的目的是为了超过时速4英里行驶．本句中的固定短语look the other way意为“视而不见”，了解这一短语的意义有利于正确理解该短文．故选B（2）C．细节理解题根据第三段“The police became very inte rested in walls and shop﹣fronts when they heard the car and not one of them saw it．”“当他们听到车来了，警察开始对墙和商店非常感兴趣，谁都没看见它．”可知警察们故意转移目标，装作没看见他的车．故选C；（3）D．细节理解题根据警察的两段话“One of these horseless things，”said the policeman，looking at it with interest．（警察带着极大的兴趣说，“这是一个不用马拉的车．”）以及“I’ve often wanted a ride in one，but of course policemen can’t buy things like that．”He turned and looked hopefully in Rolls’s face．“（我一直想用它去兜风，但是当然警察不能买这些东西”他转过身来，满怀希望的看着 Rolls的脸．）可知，这位警察很想体验一下坐车的感觉．故选D（4）B．细节理解题根据最后一段“You can let it go jus t as you like down this hill．There isn’t another policeman on this road for a mile and a half．”（下山时你想怎么开都可以，1英里半以内没有警察．）可知在一定的距离内，他想开多快就可以开多快．故选B4.

and可知停下来考虑或查阅词的意思，说明是遇到了“不认识的”词．故答案为C．（8）B．考查代词及语境理解．根据语境判断，此处应该用不定式作宾语．指停下来思考词或短语的意思．而不是“理解”（understand）或“了解”（know）．故答案为B．（9）D．考查名词及语境理解．根据常识及looking it up in the

ourselves1．把usually改为usual．考查固定搭配．as usual 是固定短语，意思是“像往常一样”．2．把were改为was．考查谓语动词的单复数．there be 结构中谓语动词的单复数由后面的名词或代词决定，本句中给出的是不定代词nobod y“没有人”，谓语动词用单数．3．把How改为What．考查感叹句的引导词． what+a/an+形容词+单数名词+主谓！这是what所引导的感叹句的基本结构之一，而how是用来修饰形容词的，与句子结构不相符．4．把Stand改为Standing．考查非谓语动词．此句中Standing in front of the school gate 做伴随状语，其逻辑主语是句子的主语，且非谓语动词的动作与主句谓语动词的动作同时发生，故用现在分词结构．5．把occurs改为occured．考查动词的时态．通篇叙述的是过去的事情，所以用一般过去时．。

Some readers even jumped to an absurd conclusion that “EI accounts for 80 percent of success.”I never made the claim that EI matters more than IQ for academic achievements. My argument is actually that emotional and social skills give people advantages in areas where such abilities make the most difference, like love and leadership. EI does better than IQ in “soft” areas, where intelligenc e matters relatively little for success.IQ is a much stronger predictor (预测指标) than EI of which jobs or professions people can enter. However, having enough intelligence to hold a given job does not by itself predict whether one will be a star performer or rise to management or leadership positions in one’s field. In part this is because everyone at the top level of a given profession has already been examined for intelligence. At those top levels a high IQ becomes a basic ability, one needed just to get into and stay in the game.The one place, I expect, we will be seeing more data showing a relationship between skills in the emotional and social area and school performance, will be in studies of children who have gone through social/emotional learning (SEL) programs. These courses give students the self-management skills they need to do better on academic achievement scores. A study from the University of Illinois finds around a 10 percent increase in achievement test scores among these students. Probably, the SEL programs would also have meant higher scores on the particular assessment of EI used in the Australian study, and so if they had tested such children, there may well have been a positive connection.Therefore, learning seems to be another area where EI may matter —whether more than IQ is a question based on experience. This is what I want to explain on this website.4. The author writes the passage to ________.A. state his new opinion on IQ and EIB. explain the importance of IQ and EIC. argue for his study into school learningD. clear up some misunderstandings of his book5. According to the author, EI matters more than IQ for ________.A. winning a quiz; becoming a star performerB. being a leader; receiving an MBA degreeC. family relations; being promoted at workD. becoming an accountant; getting an interview6. The author might agree that ________.A. IQ determines one’s basic ability to enter a certain fieldB. the subtitle of his book is seldom misunderstoodC. EI matters more than IQ for academic achievementD. success has everything to do with intelligence7. We can learn from Paragraph 4 that ________.A. the two same studies have opposite findingsB. the SEL programs attempt to promote learning with EIC. students’ school performance is decided by their EID. the SEL programs im prove students’ scores rap idlyCHave you ever noticed tiny raised areas on the branches of a tree? These may have been insects. These small insects feed on tree sap (汁液). Insects on urban trees are notably more abundant than those on rural trees. As a result, urban trees suffer from heavy infestations (害虫横行), and are often unhealthy or die. To protect and restore urban trees’ health, we need to determine the factors that make these tree pests more successful in urban habitats.Living organisms interact closely with their environment. The warmer, more drought-stressed trees harbor more successful pests than cooler, less drought-stressed trees. As cities and natural habitats become hotter and drier, damaging insects will become more abundant on urban trees.Trees within urban forests are valuable economically and for the environmentalsustainability (可持续性) of the region. More than half of the world’s population lives in cities. Across the globe, people are moving into cities at a faster rate than ever.Rapid growth may turn cities into places with harder conditions. Although cities are primarily made of buildings, roads, parking lots, and vehicles, there are still plants in them. The trees within a city are referred to as the urban forest. Urban forests offer very big benefits to human and environmental health. They improve air and water quality, provide habitat for wildlife. cool down temperatures air and water quality, provide habitat for wildlife, cool down temperatures and beautify our environment. They make cities livable.However, being a city tree is not easy. Heat released by human activities is trapped in cities. As a result, temperatures in urban areas are often warmer than their surrounding rural areas. We call this urban warming or the urban heat island effect. Urban habitats are mostly made of surfaces of asphalt (沥青 ) and concrete. These surfaces reduce the amount of rainwater that reaches tree roots. As a result, urban forests may suffer, which can negatively affect people and the environment. What can we do to restore urban forests? Regular irrigation when possible may help keep pest populations under control. Planting tree species that are suitable to handle heat and drought stress would also reduce the occurrence of insect pest outbreaks.8. Why do urban trees suffer from heavier infestations?A. Because urban insects are more abundant.B. Because more people have come to cities.C. Because cities become hotter and drier.D. Because more tree sap can be fed on.9. What causes the urban heat island effect according to the text?A. The use of asphalt and concrete.B. The heat that is trapped in urban areas.C. The lack of unban forests.D. The lower temperatures in rural areas.10. Which of the following word can replace the underlined word in Paragraph 5?A. Watering.B. Inspection.C. Pest killing.D. Tree planting.11. What would be the author’s purpose of writing the text?A. Show how to solve the urban warming.B. Display the importance of urban trees.C. Tell us methods to protect urban trees.D. Call for people to protect urban trees.DChildren of all ages gathered in New York City recently for the International Toy Fair. Hidden among already popular toys were new, high-tech educational products. Toymakers are working to create these products for improving a child’s emotional intelligence.Companies showed off their products l ast week at New York’s Jacob Javitz Convention Center.PleIQ is a set of plastic toy blocks. It uses visual reality technology to teach words, numbers and other things, Edison Durán directs the company that makes PleIQ. She showed people at the toy fair how virtual images appear on the blocks when they are held in front of a tablet camera, PleIQ has children act as teacher or guide to a companion character.On the other side of the convention center, Karen Hu from another company demonstrated an educational robot called Woobo. The robot comes programmed with educational games and activities. Children use its touch screen face to get them started. Hu described how the robot can help a child who has autism (自闭症). “The child can communicate with Woobo and follow some of the instructions Woobo is giving because he thinks of this as a companion instead of a parent or someone else telling him to certain things.”At the EQtainment stand，sales director Jonathan Erickson explained the company’s toys. “The purpose of a ll of our products is to develop emotional and social intelligence•” he said Erickson showed off a board game called “Q’s Race to the Top”. He said the game got his 4-year-old daughter to open up. “The biggest thing is her talking. And that’s the key of al l this—getting her feelings expressed out. Like, ‘Hey, what does it feel like to be sad? Or how does it feel like to be happy?’”It remains to be seen whether a game or toy can improve emotional intelligence. But toymakers are doing what they can to help parents in their efforts to raise well-rounded children.12. How does PleIQ instruct children to learn?A. By playing the role of a companion.B. By giving direct guidance.C. By taking photos with a camera.D. By presenting visual images.13. What can be inferred about Woobo from Paragraph 4?A. It is programmed to replace teachers.B. It may be good company for kids.C. It can get started automatically.D. It is intended to design games.14. What does Jonathan Erickson think of his toys?A. They are quite easy to operate.B. They can teach children numbers.C. They help kids express themselves well.D. They can show their emotions clearly.15. What is the best title of the text?A. Toys help to build emotional intelligenceB. Educational toys sell well in the Toy FairC. Toymakers are making profits in educationD. Children celebrate the International Toy Fair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 decided totake a walk eve n though I did n't know where I would go. The most extraord inary thing happe ned whe n I was out on this walk. I saw an old man sitt ing on a chair. He was-2 -a seller of second-hand shoes. He seemed so tired and nobody was buying his shoes.I wanted to give him something but I had not brought anything with me. Then, a little girl came toward him.I heard the child say, "Grandfather, may I polish your shoes?"That old man took pity on her, smiled and he gave her a shoe to polish. The girl said, "I polish the shoebecause I need money to buy my brother a new school uniform." The old man answered, "Oh, little girl.Just stop doing this. Come with me and I will buy you a uniform."Then they walked to a market (I followed behind) and he bought her a uniform. Thegirl was so happy. She said, "Thank you so much for doing this." Then she left, leaving the old man smiling.He walked away from the market, but I stopped him.I whispered in his ear, "You are a hero! Thank you for your kindness!" As I walkedaway, I glanced back and I could see him still smiling. I was blown away by the kindness I had just seen.Someone who had so little himself was able to show such incredible generosity! Amazing!My own sadness had completely disappeared, chased away by the light of this kind act. I began realizingthat I have a lot to be thankful for.24. Why did the girl want to polish shoes for the old man?A. To support the old man's business.B. To show her pity on the old man.C. To earn money to buy something to her brother.D. To attract the attention of passers-by to buy more shoes.25. What can we know about the old man from the passage?A. He has not enough to eat and wear.B. He is very cold to others.C. He is a kind and generous man.D. He is in a poor health condition.26. What words can be described the girl'sD. Mean and sad.character?A. Friendly and caring.B. Greedy and kind.C.

One should live by on e's own work not by others' help.C. One should n't look dow n upon the one who n eeds help.D. Even though one has little, he should try to help others.CAdults perform better whe n they have a lot to gain or lose. But scie ntists did notknow whether tee ns did too. To find out, I nsel asked 88 people betwee n the ages of13 and 20. She had them try a game. The participa nts looked at pictures of pla netson a computer scree n. They had to click as fast as they could whe n they saw a pla netwith desig ns. They were not supposed to click if a pla net had no desig ns.The participa nts could earn 20 cents for right an swers but lose 10 cents for wrongones. In other sessions, they'd get a dollar for right answers, and lose a half dollar for wrong on es.Players of all ages wan ted to win the mon ey, and cared more about bigger rewards tha n smaller on es. As In sel expected, adults performed better whe n the stakes were high. But tee ns 13to 18 played just as well whether they stood to win 20 cents or a dollar. Only 19-or 20-year olds stepped up their game for the higher stakes.Insel's team published this work November 28, 2017, in Nature Communications.Brains cha nge and mature duri ng adolesce nee. And not all parts grow at the same rate. In sel was in terested in two areas in particular. One is deep in side the brain andjust above the ears. Called the ventral striatum （ 腹侧纹状体 ）,it helps the brain calculate rewards. The ven tral striatum becomes mature duri ng the tee n years.The brain's prefron tal cortex （前额叶）takes Ion ger to mature. This area is importa ntfor planning and setting goals. It may not mature until early adulthood.Nerve pathways — think of them as the brain's "wiring"— connect the ventral striatumand prefrontal cortex. This lets the two regions communicate to make decisions. But because the prefr on tal cortex matures later, the wiri ng betwee n the two may not be complete un til adulthood.Which of the follow ing can expla in In sel's research?A. Teens ignore key points in many aspects.27. 28.B. Adults behave better with higher rewards.C. Teens give more attention to exams than usual work.D. Adults behave more maturely than children in every way.29. What does the underlined word "stakes" refer to?A. The final results of games or experiments.B. The things that can be gained or lost in races.C. The ambitions or energies that one experiences in games.D. The powers that make one feel less pressure or pain.30. From the passage, we can know __________ .A. the experiment aims to find out adults' behaviour facing high stakesB. teens have better performances in the first roundsC. adults care less about the experiment at firstD. adults and teens show differently with high stakes31. Which is the best title of the passage?A. Unlike adults, teens don't perform better with high stakesB. Who perform better, adults or children?C. Stakes are the key points in promoting one's passionD. Whether low stakes or high stakes, one behaves similarlyDAttempting to open very old books and records without damaging them can be difficult, but scientists inSwitzerland say they have improved a method to read age-old documents without even touching them.Researchers at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology are using radiation, in the form of x-rays, tocreate images of the documents. This method is called X-ray computed tomography or X-Raytomography.Ona recent day, the researchers used X-ray tomography to read from a small 14th century document.Giorgio Margaritondo is working on the project. Reading from the document, he noted, "in the year 1351,a young lady from Venice...wrote a testament, and then the testament was sealed, and remained sealedfor all these many centuries."Italian oficials are planning to use X-Ray tomography to build an open digital system in the State Archivesof Venice. Margarit ondo says, "What you find in side the Archives are not only small docume nts. But- 5 -most of the items are huge volumes the size of atable, and so we must be able in the future to look in side them."Many of the docume nts show sig ns of weatheri ng, and are easily broke n. Fauzia Albert in is also worki ng on the project. She says, "We n eed a tech nique to read in side them.Thanks to the use for thousa nds of years of iron-based inks we can read them usingX-rays."Alberti n is also with the Swiss Federal In stitute of Tech no logy. The researchers havea lot of work to keep them busy. The State Archives of Ven ice has a huge nu mber ofrecords. They were produced over a period of about 1,000 years.

B．Kahoot. C．TEO. D．Prezi.4．A teacher who wants to learn on-line teaching is expected to arrive by ______.A．9:00 a.m. B．10:30 a.m. C．2:00 p.m. D．3:30 p.m.BI go out of my way to say “thank you” to my partner frequently, and he’s the same way. We were both raised by parents who valued politeness, and more than that, I want to do all those little things that psychologists say help couples stay together. Expressing gratitude is one of those things, so a quick “thanks” seems like an easy one.But according to a recent study, we’re not at all typical. The study looked at over 1,000 recordings of casual conversations among families and close friends. In only about one out of 20 times were expressions of thanks observed. Phrases that meant “thanks” but weren’t a direct translation of the word were counted, including physical gestures of thanks.The researchers looked at a wide variety of people from different places, representing eight languages: Polish, Russian, Italy, English, Murrinh-patha (an Aboriginal language), Cha’ palaa, Lao and Siwu.The Brits thanked people close to them the most, about 14.5 percent of the time, and close behind them were the Italians at 13.5 percent. The Murrinh-patha came next at 4.0 percent and following them were the Russians, the Polish, the Laotians and the Siwu speakers. The lowest? Well, the Cha’ palaa speakers of Ecuador don’t have a word for “thank you” at all.As the linguists explained, “Expressing thanks, in some cultures, is more of a linguistic tradition than a true expression of feelings. In cultures where thanks are less often said, it’s because social cooperation is taken f or granted, and ‘thank you’ isn’t really needed or necessary. ”The idea that you don’t need to thank others because it’s assumed that you’re appreciative is beautiful. But it is a bit hard for me to accept. So I’ll keep saying “thanks” as frequently as I do. But as a frequent traveler, I’ll keep in mind to watch the local custom and follow suit.5．What might be psychologists’ opinion about expressing thanks?A．It can show a person’s values.B．It is passed down from parents.C．It can contribute to close relationship.D．It is a little and unnecessary thing.6．What is typical among family members according to the study?A．They seldom express thanks.B．They say thanks at any time.C．They often show thanks using gestures.D．They often use indirect translation of thanks.7．Who never say “thank you”?A．The Polish. B．The Italians.C．The Russians. D．The Cha’ palaa.8．What is mainly talked about in the text?A．Family members don’t need to thank each other.B．People thank close friends and family less.C．Close friends have different ways to express thanks.D．Different cultures have different ways to express thanks.CLike toolmaking, teaching was once thought to be an exclusive(独有的) capacity of the human mind. It is not actually.“Teaching” requires this: one indiv idual must take time from their own task to demonstrate and instruct with effort and the student must learn a new skill. That’s a tall order.When a young chimpanzee watches a skilled adult and then imitates (模仿), that’s learning. But the adult has not taken time specifically to instruct, so it is not teaching. In the honeybees’ amazing dance, the dancer takes time to indicate information about a source of food, but observers learn no new skill. They do take time to show, but they do not pass on new skills to learners.Dolphins teach. Atlantic spotted dolphin mothers sometimes free a caught fish in the presence of their youngsters and let their youngsters chase it, catching it again if it’s getting away. Dolphin youngsters also position themselves alongside mothers who are scanning sandy bottoms for hidden fish, and the mother spends extra time demonstrating.Other teachers include: housecats who bring back live prey and let their young learn to catch it, and meerkats (猫鼬)who first bring to their growing young dead scorpions (蝎子), then disabled ones, to demonstrate how to remove the poisonous part on their tails.Like toolmaking and teaching, imitation is also considered to reflect high intelligence. In South Africa lived a baby dolphin named Dolly. One day while she was just six months old, Dolly was watching a trainer standing at the window smoking a cigarette, blowing puffs of smoke. Dolly swam to her mother, got a mouthful of milk, then returned to the window and released a cloud of milk that surrounded her head. The trainer was “absolutely astonished”.Somehow Dolly came up with the idea of using milk to represent smoke. Using one thing to represent something else isn’t just imitation. It is art.9．What does the underlined phrase “a tall order” probably mean in paragraph 2?A．A clear instruction. B．A high risk.C．A useful purpose. D．A difficult requirement.10．What do we know about honeybees’ dance?A．Imitating. B．Learning. C．Presenting. D．Teaching.11．What can we infer about animals that can teach?A．Bees show their dance to younger generations.B．Young dolphins must learn how to free a fish.C．Housecats teach in a way similar to dolphins.D．Meerkats have poisonous parts on the tails.12．Why does the author use Dolly’s example?A．To prove smoking can affect other animals.B．To show animals can be surprisingly intelligent.C．To explain dolphins are capable of making art.D．To stress milk is to dolphins what smoking is to men.DWhen there are some strangers in front of us, which of them will we trust?According to a new study in the online PLOS One, people make their decisions to trust others largely based on their faces. Your appearance can do a lot for you, especially if you are in the financial（金融）industry. The more trustworthy you look, the more likely people will buy what you’re selling.Researchers from Britain’s University of Warwick Business School, University College London, and Dartmouth College, US, did a number of experiments.The research team used computer software to make 40 faces, from the least to the most trustworthy-looking.The study said that the difference between a trustworthy face and one that isn’t as trustworthy comes from features that look slightly angry or slightly happy, even when the face is at rest. However, a slightly happy face is more likely to be trusted.Researchers gave participants some money and asked them which face they trusted to invest the money. Then researchers gave some good and bad information about the people with these faces, and asked the participants again whom they trusted.The results showed that even if they got different information, the participants didn’t change their choices. They were still more likely to invest their money with the more trustworthy-looking faces.Chris Olivola, one of the study’s authors, said in the University of Warwick’s press release: “It seems that we are still willing to go with our own instincts (本能) about whether we think someone looks like we can trust them. The temptation (诱惑) to judge strangers by their faces is hard to resist.”13．According to the study, which of the following faces is most likely to be trusted?A．A sad face. B．An angry face.C．A crying face. D．A smiling face.14．Which of the following about the experiment is TRUE?A．The trustworthy faces were given good information.B．Researchers took photos of the 40 people’s faces in college.C．Participants liked to choose the faces with good information.D．Most participants gave their money to the trustworthy-looking faces.15．What did the researchers learn from their experiment?A．People can’t refuse temptations.B．People often judge strangers by their faces.C．People do things with their instincts all the time.D．People don’t trust strangers with sad faces.二、七选五The winner's guide to successDo you know what makes people successful? To find out the answers, an American scholar recently visited some of the most successful people in America. 16．Be responsible for yourself.Sometimes you may want to blame others for your failure to get ahead. In fact, when you say someone or something outside of yourself is stopping you from making success, you are giving away your own power.17．Write a planIt is very difficult to try to get what you want without a good plan. It is just like trying to drive through strange roads to a city far away. 18．Without this "map", you may waste your time, money and also your energy; while with the "map" you'll enjoy the "trip" and get what you want in the shortest possible time.19．Nothing great is easy to get. So you must be ready to work hard - even harder than you have ever done. If you are not willing to pay the price, you won't get anything valuable.Never give up20．When you are doing something, you must tell yourself again and again: giving up is worse than failure because failure can be the mother of success, but giving up means the death of hope.A．A good plan is like a map to you.B．It seems to us that everyone knows this. But it is easier said than done.C．Some people achieve success much later in life because they didn’t work harder earlier.D．You are saying they have more control over your life than you do.E. Someone else's opinion of you doesn't have to become your reality.F. Be willing to pay the price.G. Here are some keys to success that they give.三、完形填空Learning to dive is something I’ve always found excuses to not learn how to do. Something always comes up.

October8BAs Artificial Intelligence becomes increasingly complicated, there are growing concerns that robots could become a threat. This danger can be avoided, according to computer science professor Stuart Russell, if we figure out how to turn human values into a programmable code.Russell argues that as robots take on more complicated tasks, it’s necessary to translate our morals into AI language.For example, if a robot does chores around the house, you wouldn't want it to put the pet cat in the oven to make dinner for the hungry children. "You would want that robot preloaded with a good set of values," said Russell.Some robots are already programmed with basic human values. For example, mobile robots have been programmed to keep a comfortable distance from humans. Obviously, there are cultural differences, but if you were talking to another person and they came up close in your personal space, you wouldn't think that's the kind of thing a properly brought-up person would do.It will be possible to create more complex moral machines, if only we can find a way to set out human values as clear rules.Robots could also learn values from drawing patterns from large sets of data on human behavior. They are dangerous only if programmers are careless.The biggest concern with robots going against human values is that human beings fail to do enough testing and they've produced a system that will break some kind of taboo（禁忌）.One simple check would be to program a robot to check the correct course of action with a human when presented with an unusual situation.If the robot is unsure whether an animal is suitable for the microwave, it has the opportunity to stop, send out beeps, and ask for directions from a human. If we humans aren't quite sure about a decision, we go and ask somebody else.The most difficult step in programming values will be deciding exactly what we believe in moral, and how to create a set of ethical rules. But if we come up with an answer, robots could be good for humanity.4.What does the author say about the threat of robots?A. It may be a challenge to computer programmers.B. It accompanies all machinery involving high technology.C. It can be avoided if human values are translated into their language.D. It has become an inevitable danger as technology gets more sophisticated.5. How do robots learn human values?A. By interacting with humans in everyday life situations.B. By picking up patterns from massive data on human behavior.C. By following the daily routines of civilized human beings.D. By imitating the behavior of properly brought-up human beings.6. What will a well-programmed robot do when facing an unusual situation?A. Keep a distance from possible dangers.B. Do enough testing before taking action.C. Set off its built-in alarm system at once.D. Stop to seek advice from a human being.7. What is most difficult to do when we turn human values into a programmable code?A. Determine what is moral and ethical.B. Design some large-scale experiments.C. Set rules for man-machine interaction.D. Develop a more sophisticated program.CIn summer the extreme heat often makes people sweaty and restless. While people are annoyed by it, experts suggest summer is the best season to discharge (排放) your body’s toxins (毒素) and recover your energy.One popular option is hot-stone massage (按摩). Therapists use smooth and heated stones, usually river rocks, to massage certain parts of the body, or place them on key points of the body. The warmth of the hot stones will improve blood circulation and also help relax muscles, while sweating is also believed to be good for discharging the body’s toxins.Another popular option is hot-stone baths. The hot-stone bath will help the body discharge toxins and humidity that accumulated during the last winter. Summer is the best season to build a good body. Rather than use water or steam to heat and wash the body, people simply wear a coat or something comfortable, and then lie on heated stone tablets made of hot stones, which are warmed to around 45oC. The body will gradually warm up and blood circulation will also be improved. More sweat will come out quickly. The sweat is smooth and fresh, not smelly like that released after sports activities. Such baths bring a number of health benefits, such as anti-aging, improved blood circulation and stress relief. The slimming effect of dieting can even be promoted.Using hot stones for healing dates back to ancient times, but the modern renewal of hot-stone massage is generally credited to Mary Nelson, a native of Tucson, Arizona, America, whose trademark is “LaStone Therapy”.The therapy is gaining wide popularity with many people, especially those who have jobs in cool air-conditioned rooms. The hot-stone therapy can help cure many diseases, including back pain.8. What do people use to release toxins in our body according to the text?A. Washing the body with cold water.B. Discharging lots of sweat.C. Relaxing musclesD. Lying on the warm beds.9. What can we know from the text?A. Sports have greater effects on the health than hot-stone massage.B. There are no toxins and humidity in the body in summer.C. Using water of about 45oC to wash the body is good for the health.D. People should take advantage of summer to improve their health.10. What can be learned about the hot-stone therapy?A. It was invented by Mary Nelson, an American.B. It successfully cured many people of cancer.C. It is popular with people with its excellent effects.D. It can help people avoid sweating too much in hot summer.11. Which of the following could be the best title for the text?A. The origin and development of the hot-stone therapyB. The amazing functions of the hot-stone therapyC. A healthy and comfortable lifestyleD. How to live comfortably in summerDEvery year billions of pounds are spent on hair loss treatment. If we succeed in curing hair loss with 3D printed hair follicles (毛囊), it will be a huge revolution.L’Oreal ( 欧莱雅）, the cosmetics firm is partnering with a French bio-printing company called Poietis, which has developed a form of laser printing for cell-based objects. Poietis’ technique begins with the creation of a digital map that determines where living cells and other tissue components should be placed to create the desired biological structure. This involves how the cells are expected to grow over time. The file based on the digital map is then turned into instructions for the printing equipment, so that it can lay down tiny droplets （小滴）made out of the cell-based "bio ink" one layer at a time. The printing process involves bouncing （使反弹）a pulsing laser（脉冲激光器）off a mirror and through a lens, so that when it hits a ribbon (色带) containing the bio ink, a droplet of the matter falls into place. About 10,000 of these micro-droplets are created every second.It typically takes about 10 minutes to print a piece of skin 1cm wide by 0.5mm thick. However, since hair follicles are complex and consist of 15 different cells in a structure, they may take longer.Poietis is not the only company working on bio-printing, but most others use another way, which involves pushing a bio-ink through a nozzle (喷嘴), rather than lasers to build theirtissue. Poietis suggests its technique puts less stress on the biological matter, meaning there is less risk of causing it damage.Alopecia UK—a charity that provides support and advice about hair loss—has mixed feelings about the development. “It is encouraging to know that companies such as L’Oreal are investing in technology that may help those with hair loss in the future,” said spokeswoman Amy Johnson.“However, we would suggest it’s still very early to be getting excited about what this potentially could mean for those with medical hair loss. At this point it is unclear as to whether this technology could benefit those with all types of hair loss.”“Also, if this new technology does lead to a treatment option, given the high costs of existing hair transplant procedures, how many people will be able to realistically afford any new technological advances that may become available? As with any other research and development into processes that may be able to help those with hair loss, we watch with great interest.”12. What does Paragraph 2 mainly tell us?A. How the printing process is carried out.B. Where the living cells should be placed.C. How long the cells are expected to grow.D. What the printing equipment is made up of.13. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 4 refer to?A. hair follicleB. biological matterC. nozzleD. bio-ink14. The passage implies that the new technology may ______.A. meet some practical challengesB. help people with hair loss at presentC. offer solutions to all problems of hair lossD. cost a large sum of money to transplant hair15. What is Amy Johnson’s attitude towards the new technology?A. Disapproving.B. Optimistic.C. Cautious.D. Negative.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。

What can we infer about Delaware from the text?A. It is the city of music.B. It is a city of high expense.C. It is the home of Bob Dylan.D. It is not a summer destination.23. What is the purpose of Icelanders to hold the Secret Solstice festival?A. To welcome summer.B. To memorize the past winter.C. To celebrate the coming of spring.D. To advise the local beautiful landscapes.BLet me tell you about my relationship with the school desk.From my first day at Penny Camp Elementary School in 1982,it was terrible.This is how it went down: five seconds into class, the foot start bouncing;10 seconds in, both feet; 15 seconds,I burst out the drums ! After a few minutes,it’s all over. I’m trying to put my leg behind my neck.No,that desk and I didn’t get along.Sitting still was hard enough,but I also struggled with reading.Reading out loud in class was a special kind of hell(地狱).By the third grade I had progressed from being one of “those kids” to being the “special kid”. I was found to have multiple language-based learning disabilities and attention deficit disorder (A.D.D) (注意力缺陷障碍症). I was turned into a “patient” who needed treatment rather than a human being with differences.I struggled with severe anxiety and depression at age 10.I survived this time in my life because of my mom. She knew in her heart that her child wasn’t broken and didn’t need to be fixed.My mom was right. When I think back on my school experience.I realize it wasn’t the A.D.D. that disabled me. What disabled me were limitations not in myself but in the environment. I’ve come to believe that I did not have a disability, as it is common to say, but experienced disability in environments that could not accommodate and accept my differences.In the fall of 1977,after two years at Loyola Marymount University,where my learning differences were fully accommodated, I transferred to(转学)Brown University, where I graduated with an honors degree in English literature. I still can’t spell or sit still,but I now use support and technology to relieve my weakness and build a life on my strengths. I don’t feel stupid anymore and I know that I—and others like me—can live good lives despite these challenges.24．What does the author want to tell us in the first paragraph?A. He didn’t like to study.B. He used to be active at school.C. He suffered from a broken desk.D. He had trouble sitting still in class.25．How did the author probably feel in class in his early school years?A.Exited.B.Uneasy.C.Interested.D.Bored.26．Which of the following is correct according to the last paragraph?A. He is living a good life with his weakness.B. His disability has been cured by technology.C. He got his honors degree in English literature in the fall of 1997.D. He was transferred to Brown University because of his disability.27．From the passage we learn that__________.A. a disability is nothing but a differenceB. family’s support is the most importantC. disabled people can’t live well however hard they workD. sometimes limitations of the environment disable a personCRow after row they marched — thousands of larger-than-life figures frozen in clay, a phalanx(方阵) of officials defending the tomb of China’s first emperor.Silently they guarded beneath the soil for 2,200 years, until a farmer digging a well in 1974 found broken pieces of unparalleled significance near C hina’s early capital city, Xianyang.Now those fierce warriors have reached the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts(VMFA) to tell their extraordinary story. The exhibition will be on display at VMFA from Saturday, November 18, 2017 through March 11, 2018 before traveling to the Cincinnati Art Museum.Ten of the clay figures will stand with a total of 130 objects from 14 museums and archaeological institutes in China’s Shaanxi Province, where the current city of Xi’an is located. Forty of the objects have never left China before. Beyond the life-size clay figures, the exhibit brings perspective with objects that range from bronze spearheads found in the emperor’s tomb to a small gold tiger that pre-dated him by more than 250 years.The fascination draws lots of visitors wherever the terracotta figures have traveled. The National Geographic Museum in Washington had a record-setting 280,000 people at its four-month exhibit of 15 figures in 2009—2010. Chicago’s Field Museum attracted 460,000 to its 10-month exhibit that ended in January.At the same time with the VMFA exhibit, Philadelphia’s Franklin Institute will have a terracotta warriors exhibit that focuses on the science and technology that went into their creation. VMFA focuses on why they were created and how they fit into China’s long sweep of history. Each institution has 10 life-size terracotta figures on display, giving an unprecedented(空前的) opportunity to study them in depth.The VMFA exhibition is divided into three sections. The first one introduces the emperor; the second puts him in context with artifacts from the warring states; the third shows his journey into the afterlife.28. According to Paragraph 2, some of the items on display .A. have not gone abroadB. have just been discoveredC. are from museums all over ChinaD. were earlier than China’s first emperor29. How many American cities will hold the exhibition of terracotta warriors?A. 2.B. 3.C. 4.D. 5.30. How do Americans think of terracotta warriors?A. Attractive.B. Aggressive.C. Professional.D. Conservative.31. What is the best title for the text?A.Terracotta Warriors of ChinaB.The Exhibit of China’s First EmperorC.Terracotta Warriors Exhibits in the USD. New Discoveries in Terracotta WarriorsDGenealogy, also known as family history, is the study of families and the footmarks of their lineages(家系) and history. Genealogists use oral interviews, historical records, genetic analysis, and other records to obtain information about a family and to prove kinship(亲属关系) and lineages of its members. The results are often displayed in charts or written as descriptions.The pursuit of family history and origins tends to be shaped by several impetuses, including the desire to carve out a place for one’s family in the larger historical picture, a sense of responsibility to preserve the past for future generations, and a sense of self-satisfaction in accurate storytelling.In communitarian societies, one’s identity is established as much by one’s kin net work as by individual achievement, and the question ＂Who are you?＂would be answered by a description of father, mother, and lineages. New Zealand Māori, for example, learn genealogies to discover who they are.In societies such as Australia or the United States, there was by the 20th-century growing pride in the pioneers and nation-builders. Establishing descent(继承) from these was, and is, important to such groups as the Daughters of the American Revolution(DAR).Modern family history explores new sources of status, such as celebrating the rebirth of families that survived generations of poverty or slavery, or the success of families in combining across racial or national boundaries. Some family histories even emphasize links to celebrity criminals, such as the bushranger(绿林好汉) Ned Kelly in Australia.The growing interest in family history in the media coupled with easier access to online records has allowed those who are curious to do so to start investigating their ancestry. This curiosity can be particularly strong among those whose family histories were lost or unknown due to, for example, adoption or separation from family, perhaps as a result of bereavement(丧失).32. Which of the following is connected with genealogy?A. The DNA tests.B. Historicalnovels.C. Political positions.D. Education standards.33. What is the meaning of the underlined word ＂impetuses＂in Paragraph 2?A. Results.B. Drives.C. Categories.D. Exploitations.34. Why do Māori study genealogies?A. To get achievements.B. To learn their origins.C. To change their identities.D. To create their kin network.35. What do we know about genealogy from Paragraph 4?A. DAR is a genealogy organization.B. Organizations have their genealogy.C. Australia is a pioneer in genealogy.D. Genealogy inspires the love for nation.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。
