ANovember isn’t the only time when people come together to raise money for good causes. Here are three other major charity events from around the world.Race for Life, UKWhat started off as a race of 680 women in a London park in l994 to raise money for a cancer charity has now turned into a massive nationwide event, with thousands of women up and down the UK taking part every year.Known for dressing head to toe in pink, participants raise money for breast cancer research by being sponsored to take part in marathons, which are organized all year round. Since it began, more than 8 million women have taken part, raising over £547million for Cancer Research UK.40-HourFamine (饥饿) , AustraliaNormally taking place in mid-August, this program encourages young Australians to give something up for 40 hours in order to raise awareness of less fortunate youths around the world.Participants raise money which is donated to good causes worldwide, by giving something up for the weekend, including the use of technology (TVs, computers, smartphones and so on), or even food.

They have all drawn people’s attention to cancer and AIDS.BIsn’t it amazing that one person can change your life by sharing one ideaat the right time and place? This is certainly what happened in my life.When I was l8, I left home for El Paso. Upon reaching downtown El Paso,I met a homeless man on the street comer. He stopped me and questioned meas I passed by. He asked me if I was running away from home. I told him, “Notexactly, sir, since my father had given me a ride to the freeway in Houston andgiven me his blessings while saying. ‘It is important to follow your dream andwhat is in your heart, Son.’”After a simple conversation, the bum (流浪汉) told me to follow him. Hetold me that he had something grand to show me and share with me. Wewalked a couple of blocks until we came upon the downtown El Paso PublicLibrary. The bum first led m e to a table and asked me to sit down and wait fora moment while he looked for something special among the shelves. A fewmoments later, he returned with a couple of old books under his arms and putthem on the table.He then sat down beside me and said, “There are two things that I want toteach you, young man. Number one is to never judge a book by its cover. ”He followed with, “I’ll bet you think I’m a bum, don’t you, young man?”I said, “Well, uh, yes, I guess so, sir. ”“Well, young man, I’ve got a little surprise for you. I am one of thewealthiest men in the world. I originally come from the Northeast and have allthe things that money can buy. But a year ago, my wife passed away, and sincethen I have been deeply reflecting upon life. I realized there were certain thingsI had not yet experienced in life, one of which was what it would be like to livelike a beggar on the streets. For the past year I have been going from city tocity doing just that. So, you see, don’t ever judge a book by its cover, for acover can fool you.“Number two is to learn to read, my boy, for there is only one thing thatpeople can’t take away from you and that is your wisdom. ”At that moment, he reached forward grabbed my right hand in his and putthem upon the books h e’d pulled from the shelves. They were the writings ofPlato and Aristotle—immortal(不朽的) classics from ancient times.24. Why did the bum stop the author on the street?A. He wanted to know how he arrived there.B.

He was deeply sad at his wife’s death.B. He just wanted to try anew way of life.C. He pretended to be poor to travel alone.D. He hoped to express his attitude towards money.27. How would the author probably feel about this experience?A. It was meaningless.B. It was ridiculous.C. It was amusingD. It was inspiring.CIt is back-to-school time in the United States, which for many is bittersweet. The bitter part is saying goodbye to carefree, unscheduled summer days. The sweet part is saying hello to a new school year and school friends.However, going back to school can also be a stressful time for children and families. Every kid must make the change from easy summer life to routines, schedules and homework. Parents might also stress about spending extra money for a new school year. They often need to pay school fees or to buy new school clothes, sports equipment, musical instruments and school supplies.Back-to-school stress is different for different ages. Younger children may feel scared to leave their families. Making new friends and dealing with bullying(欺霸行为) can also cause stress for students. Older students may stress about their appearance, grades and getting into college.A 20l3 survey by the American Psychological Association found that teens in the U. S. are now as stressed as adults. A high percentage of the teenssurveyed say they are stressed about getting into a good college (83%) ordeciding what to do after high school (69%) and financial concerns for theirfamily (65%)However, parents, teachers and children can all help to make thetransition(过渡) back to school easier.Mary Anne Aidala began teaching in the New York school system in l962.She retired 39 years later, in 200l. She is an award-winning teacher. Sheadvises parents to focus on the basics—get enough sleep, eat healthy foods,and tum off electronics before bedtime.“Wel l, the first thing they (parents) have to do is to get them (children) ona schedule of sleep habits. And they should also make sure they have a goodbreakfast to keep their brains alert(机敏的). And maybe before they go to sleepevery night they should start to read them a story or do something educational;so, they can start to reactivate their brains into using them. ”28.

They have an extra expense besides school fees.D. They are confused at the demand of musical instruments.30. What can we learn from what Mary Anne Aidala says?A. Children should form a good habit of going to bed early.B. Nutrition must be put in the first place in children’s diet.C. Bedtime stories are helpful in developing children’s good qualities.D. Pa rents can do some simple things to help relieve children’s stress.3l. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?A. Lessening school burden on childrenB. Living a happy and healthy school lifeC. Dealing with back-to-school stressD. Getting school life back to normalDWhen we do the same movements with our bodies over and over again,we overuse some muscles. And that overuse can lead to strain(紧张) and injury.Sometimes those problems can come from doing sports. But exerciseprofessionals say they are now seeing another cause for muscle problems:hand-held technology devices (设备).Staring down at your phone or tablet for long periods of time puts greattension on your neck and spine(脊椎) . Mary people who use tech devices alsobend their shoulders forward Experts say this posture (姿势) puts strain on theentire upper body. Muscle strain linked to hand-held technology has becomesuch a common condition that it now has a name: tech-neck.Kimberly Fielding, an exercise teacher in New York City explains thatconstantly looking down at our devices creates an unnatural bend in our spine.This can cause nerve pain and other problems. “A lot of the curves of the neckcan change, so instead of the neck spine going inward, the curve can be a littlebit different and it causes nerve pain and disc herniation(椎间盘突出) anddifferent muscle tension headaches—different things that really can reducequality of life. ”Fielding created a class to directly address the problem of tech neck. Theclass uses different exercises to release tension in the upper body andstrengthen back and neck muscles. Fielding says these exercises may feeluncomfortable in the beginning because the neck muscles may have becomeweak.However, you don’t need to take a class like Fie lding’s. You can takesimple steps to improve tech neck. For a quick fix, hold your phone at eye level.At the same time, take breaks from using your technology by standing up and stretching your legs often. Also, give your eyes a break by closing them throughout the day.32. What does the underlined phrase “tech neck” in Paragraph 2 refer to?A. The painful neck caused by electronic devices.B. The strong neck after technical physical exercises.C. The decoration on the neck with hand-held devices.D. The cell phone or iPad frequently hung on the neck.33. What can we learn from Kimberly Fielding’s findings?A. Muscle tension can lead to spine curving and headaches.B. Nerve pain and other problems are caused by disc herniation.C. Staring down at your smartphone does great harm to your neck spine.D. Quality of life depends in a large part on the condition of neck spine.34. Why did Kimberly Fielding start the class?A. To help those suffering from tech neck.B. To introduce her newly-invented devices.C. To further study the causes of tech neck.D. To stress the danger of hand-held devices.35. What is the purpose of the last paragraph?A. To invite people to attend Fielding’s class.B. To urge people to keep away from e-products.C. To advise those addicts to exercise their necks.D.

Caffeine can improve memory among honeybees and lead to better pollination(授粉). According to a recent study published in the journal Science.The study was conducted by a team of researchers at Newcastle University in the United Kingdom. They found that the nectar(花蜜) of some flowers, such as those from grapefruit and lemon plants, as well as certain coffee flowers, contains low doses of caffeine. To get bees to feed on these flowers, the team trained the insects to associate food with the smell of the flowers. They also trained another group of bees to feed on nectar from flowers that were sweetened with a sugar, but did not contain caffeine. After 24 hours, the bees trained on caffeinated flowers returned to these plants three times as often as those trained on the sweetened flowers returned to the uncaffeinated plants.Professor Geraldine Wright led the researchers. “Remembering floral traits (花部特征) is difficult for bees to perform at a fast pace as they fly from flower to flower and we found that caffeine helps the bee remember where the flowers are,” Wright said in a statement.Improved memory led to the better pollination. That’s because once bees sip the caffeine nectar, they continue to look for more coffee plants to pollinate. This also suggests that caffeine plays a role in improving the bees’ ability to search for food.Researchers found that caffeine’s effect on the bee brain is similar to its effect on mammals. “The change is similar to that produced by caffeine in neurons (神经元)”associated with learning and memory in the rat brain,” Wright said.Bee populations have declining since 2018. The dramatic drop in the insects’ numbers has serious effects for ecosystems and the farming industry. Bees are needed in the reproduction of crops and spreading wild flower species. Understanding what keeps bees buzzing could help to make sure that the insects are able to remember and pollinate their favorite flowers.56. Which of the following is mentioned in the passage?A. Caffeine has no effect on the rat brain.B. Bee population has been increasing.C. The nectar of lemon plants contains caffeine.D. Bees dislike nectar from sweetened flowers.57. After reading the passage, John, who works in the farming industry,will probably feel ________.A. annoyedB. angryC. nervousD.excitedpassage?A. improved memory — caffeine nectar — better pollinationB. caffeine nectar — improved memory — better pollinationC. improved memory — better pollination — caffeine nectarD. caffeine nectar — better pollination — improved memory59. We can know from the passage that ________.A. the rat is a mammalB. caffeine has nothing to do with memoryC. bees are good at remembering floral traitsD. Geraldine Wright did the research on his own60. What section of a newspaper may this passage be taken from?A. ScienceB. EducationC. CultureD. SportsBIf you’re thinking about reaching for another biscuit to get you through the working day, think again. Eating unhealthy snacks at your desk makes you pile on almost half a stone a year, a survey has revealed. The waistlines of women suffer the most, with the average female putting on 6lb 3oz – the equivalent of a whole dress size – while men see their weight increase by 5lb 2oz.The report into our eating habits found that, on average, we eat at least two snacks a day, with 30 per cent of us tucking into three or more. Women admit eating more than men, with a further 13 per cent of ladies scoffing four or more snacks a day. The research, by The Village Bakery, found biscuits are the most common vice, with 42 per cent regularly opening a pack, closely followed by chocolate (38 per cent), crisps (32 per cent) and cakes (13 per cent).And office workers are worse than most. Cakes and biscuits brought into work by colleagues are one of the main temptations office staff give in to. In addition, 33 per cent admit reaching for nibbles to cope with stress and 22 per cent say they need a sugar rush to perk them up in the afternoon.Simon Staddon, of The Village Bakery, said: “We were aware time-poor office workers can find it difficult to easily access a nutritional lunch. But we were really shocked by the extent to which ‘quick fix' lunches are affecting weight gain and general wellbeing. Popular mid-afternoon pick-me-ups such biscuits, chocolate and cakes are high in calories, fat and full of sugar, all of which affect your blood sugar levels and ultimately lead to weight gain.”The survey of 2,000 British men and women suggests we are often ashamed of our unhealthy eating. Twenty-four per cent of Britons admit lying about how many snacks they eat with 33 per cent of womenif we are likely to do anything positive to counteract the sweet treats.61. According to the passage, women usually put weight on first ________.A. on the faceB. on the legsC. on the feetD. in the middle62. What’s the main reason of eating snacks in office?A. Colleagues eat them to save money.B. Staff use them to cope with their lunch.C. Colleagues often bring them to office.D. Bosses invite staff to eat them.63. Why do office workers eat a “quick fix” lunch?A. Because it has much of nutrition.B. Because it has little effect on weight gain.C. Because it has little effect on general wellbeing.D. Because they have short time to have their lunches.64. It can be inferred that British women are ________.A. less likely to lie on snacks than menB. more likely to lie on snacks than menC. more ashamed of eating snacks than menD. less ashamed of eating snacks than men65. What does the underlined word possibly mean?A. act againstB. appeal toC. cope withD. get inCA scientist turns out to be able to see the future by offering each of some four-year-olds a piece of candy and watching how he or she deals with it. Some children reach eagerly for the treat they see. Some last a few minutes before they give in. But others are determined to wait until the last moment.By the time the children reach high school, something remarkable has happened. A survey found that those who as four-year-olds had enough self-control to hold out generally grew up to be more popular, adventurous, confident and dependable. The children who gave in to temptation(诱惑) early were more likely to be lonely, easily frustrated and inflexible(顽固的).Actually, the ability to delay reward is a sign of emotional intelligence which doesn't show up on an IQ test.The hardware of the brain and the software of the mind have long been scientists' concerns. But brain theory can't explain what we wonder about most, like the question why some people remain upbeatHere comes the theory of Daniel Goleman, writer of Emotional Intelligence: when it comes to predicting people's success, brain ability measured by IQ may actually matter less than the qualities of mind once thought of as “character”.EQ is not the opposite of IQ. What researchers have been trying to understand is how they work together; how one's ability to handle stress, for instance, affects the ability to concentrate and put intelligence to use. Among the ingredients (要素) for success, researchers now generally agree that IQ counts for about 20%; the rest depends on everything from social class to luck.While many researchers in this relatively new field are glad to see emotional issues finally taken seriously, some few fear EQ causes misuse.66. The experiment with the four-year-olds makes it clear that ________.A. the age of 4 is a proper time for scientific experimentB. emotional intelligence won't show up until adolescenceC. the ability of self-control plays a role in personal successD. candy can be used to measure a person's emotional intelligence67. Which of the following is TRUE of EQ and IQ according to the text?A. There is no link between EQ and IQ.B. The higher a person's IQ is, the higher his or her EQ is.C. Some people can be blessed with lots of both, but some with little of either.D. Scientists are trying to discover the way in which EQ and IQ work together.68. The underlined word “upbeat” in Paragraph 4 probably means “________”.A. kindB. floatingC. excitedD. optimistic69. Why does the author mention the experiment at the beginning of the text?A. To amuse both the children and readers.B. To prove the scientist’s wisdom.C. To introduce the topic of the text.D. To show us how to do an IQ test.70. What is most likely to be written in the paragraph that follows?A. Information about famous people with high EQ.B. Examples showing the opposite voice about EQ.C. Some reasons why EQ is relatively new field.D. Strong demands for basic emotional education.Section A (10 marks)Directions: Read the following passage.Fill in the numbered blanks by using theinformation from the passage.Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer.The X- Factor (英国偶像), Britain's got talent(英国达人), American Idol(美国偶像)and Super girl, TV talent shows are popular all over the world.There are many reasons for that. To start with, the show can make the contestant(选手) famous overnight. Susan Boyle was an ordinary English woman before she appeared on Britain’s Got talent, in which she sang “I Dreamed a Dream”. The video clip (片段) of her performance was viewed more than 50 million times within a few weeks. Second, the show offers a good opportunity to display one’s talents. Third, everybody has a fair chance to be involved in the show regardless of the age and background. Even if you can’t perform in the show, you can vote for your favorite contestant through cell phones and the Internet. Fourth, the fun and humorous style also appeals to young people. Last but not least, the modern media such as TV and the Internet contributes greatly to its rapid popularity.However, many people express concerns about TV talent shows. They argue that the TV talent show misleads the young people and makes them believe that they can become famous overnight. Some think the show only creates entertainers rather than artists, because many winners have little idea about real music and acting. What’s worse, some judges even humiliate (羞辱) and laugh at contestants. One contestant from American Idol committed suicide because she couldn’t stand the rejection and humiliation. Even the winners suffer. Susan Boyle suffered a nervous breakdown soon after the show, because she was unable to deal with the pressure.Many countries have realized the problems and taken some steps to regulate the show. The UK requires that contestants younger than 16 not be allowed to participate. China bans TV talent shows to be broadcast during the prime time. In the USA, some insulting judges are punished.Section B (10 marks)Directions: Read the following passage, answer the questions according to the information given in the passage.Generosity and kindness does not mean that you give only when you have a lot or after fulfilling all your needs, but in fact you can still give when you yourself are struggling. Generosity literally means willingness and liberty in giving away one’s own money, time, talent, etc. sincerely without any personal gain as shown in the following story.Mahatma Gandhi went from city to city, village to village collecting funds for the Charkha Sangh. During one of his tours he addressed a meeting in Orissa. After his speech a poor old lady got up. She was gone with age, her hair was grey and her clothes were in rags. The volunteers tried to stop her, but she fought her way to the place where Mahatma Gandhi was sitting.“I must see him,” she insisted. She went up to Mahatma Gandhi and touched his feet. Then from the folds of her sari(卷布), she brought out a copper coin and placed it at his feet. Mahatma Gandhi picked up the copper coin and put it away carefully. The Charkha Sangh funds were under the charge of Jamnalal Bajaj. He asked Mahatma Gandhi for the coin but Mahatma Gandhi refused.“I keep cheques worth thousands of rupees (卢比) for the Charkha Sangh,” Jamnalal Bajaj said laughingly, “yet you won’t trust me withthousands,” Mahatma Gandhi said. “If a man has one hundred thousand rupees and he gives away a thousand or two, it doesn’t mean much.”“But this coin was perhaps all that the poor lady possessed. She gave me all she had. That was very generous of her. What a great sacrifice she made. That is why I value this copper coin more than ten millions of rupees.”81.

What did Gandhi make a speech in Orissa for? (No more than 12 words)_________________________________________________________________________83. Why did the old lady insist seeing Gandhi?

ATo achieve further education, international students must take a standardized test of English. Three popular tests are TOEFL, TOEIC, and IELTS.Here are several introductions for a student applying to a school to learn which test the program requires.The TOEIC tests workplace communicationThe TOEIC test started in the 1970s. The TOEIC is based on English used in the workplace. But the test does not require knowledge of special business words. The questions come from real situations like attending a company meeting.ETS says that 14,000 organizations in 150 countries use the TOEIC.The TOEFL tests English used in the classroomThere are several versions of the TOEFL.Students take the Internet-based TOEFL, or TOEFL IBT, on a computer. Many U.S. universities require the TOEFL IBT for international student admissions. Another TOEFL is the paper-based TOEFL, or TOEFL ITP. It is part of ETS’s institutional testing program. TOEFL ITP is used within institutions for the purpose of placement or to evaluate progress of students. It is not accepted for entrance to universities.For young English learners, there are two new TOEFL tests. The TOEFL Junior T est is for youngpeople between 11 and 15 years old. And the TOEFL Primary T est is for those over the age of eight.IELTS tests academic and general language skillsThe IELTS has two forms. The Listening and Speaking sections are the same for both forms. In the Reading and Writing sections, however, there are two different tests.The Academic IELTS uses topics and materials covered in undergraduate, graduate, or professional programs.The General IELTS uses topics and material from everyday books, newspapers and magazines.1. Which kind of TOEFL is used within institutions for the purpose of placement or to evaluate progress of students?A. TOEFL IBT.B. TOEFL ITP.C. TOEFL Junior Test.D. TOEFL Primary T est.2. According to the passage, which description is Not right?A. The TOEIC test includes questions coming from real situations like attending a company meeting.B. Many U.S. universities require the TOEFL IBT forinternational student admissions.C. The Academic IELTS uses topics and materials covered in undergraduate, graduate, or professional programs.D. The Listening and Writing sections are the same for The Academic IELTS and The General IELTS.3. The writer wrote the article mainly to ___________.A. make an introduction about three popular testsB. place an advertisement for three popular testsC. give a business talk about three popular testsD. give a lesson on three popular testsBNASA on Thursday announced the discovery of Kepler-452b, the most Earth-like planet ever found.Located 1,400 light-years from our planet, NASA called it “Earth 2.0”, because it’s the first planet discovered in the habitable zone of a G star similar to our sun.“We can think of Kepler-452b as an older, bigger cousin to Earth, providing an opportunity to understand and reflect upon Earth’s evolving environment,” said Jon Jenkins, the Kepler data analysis lead at NASA's Ames Research Center.The planet is 5 percent farther away from its star than Earth is to the sun, making for a slightly longer year of 385 days, but gets similar light because its sun is 20 percent brighter than our own.“The sunshine from this star would feel very similar to the sunshine from our star,” Jenkins told reporters.NASA believes the planet has a mass about five times more massive than Earth’s, with a rocky surface below a thicker atmosphere than our own. Gravity would be about twice as strong on Kepler-452b as it is on Earth, NASA said.The planet is located in the Kepler-452 system in the constellation Cygnus (天鹅座). Its sun has the same surface temperature as our own, but has a diameter that is 10 percent larger. While NASA scientists have no idea if Kepler-452b’s at mosphere is conducive to life, they do know that there has been plenty of time for organisms to develop.“It’s awe-inspiring to consider this planet spent 6 billion years in the habitable zone of its star, which is longer the age of the Ea rth,” Jenkins said. “That is considerable time and opportunity for life to arise somewhere on its surface or oceans if all the necessary conditions for life exist on this pla net.”4. The reason why NASA called Kepler-452b “Earth 2.0” is that ___________.A. it is 5 percent farther away from its star than Earth is to the sunB. it has a mass about five times more massive than Earth’sC. it’s the first planet discovered in the h abitable zone of a G star similar to our sunD. it is longer the age of the Earth5. According to the passage, we know that ____________.A. Kepler-452b is located in the constellation CygnusB. Kepler-452b’s atmosphere is conducive to lifeC. gravity would be about twice as strong on Earth as it is on Kepler-452bD. the sunshine from Kepler-452b would feel very different from the sunshine from earth6. The underlined part “habitable zone” in the last paragraph refers to ___________.A. a large area which is different from othersB. a small area which is the same as othersC. a large area which is good enough for people to live inD. a small area which is hard for people to live in7. What type of writing is the text? It’s ____________.A. an exhibition guide.B. an art show review.C. a science fictionD. a news reportCAre you trying to learn a new language in a foreign land? You might be better off if you stopped looking at that picture of your family and friends.New research from Columbia University found that prompting someone who is learning a new language with images and reminders of their own culture could temporarily ruin everything that the brain was trying to build. When native Chinese students were asked to talk with a Caucasian avatar (白种人的虚拟头像) and a Chinese avatar, their English skills were so different. Simply exposing students to a Chinese person affected their ability to speak English. Subjects who talked with the Chinese version felt more comfortable in their speech, but they produced 11% fewer words per minute. They actually became less fluent speakers.To make sure it wasn't just the avatar, researchers also showed people random images of China while the participants told a story. When pictures of their homeland appeared, fluency dropped 16% and volunteers were 85% more likely to use a literal translation, for example, calling pistachios “happy nuts”, because that's literally what the Chinese word for pistachio means.When the students were shown pictures of fish with one swimming ahead of the others, their culture would change how they look at the photo. With Chinese prompts (提示), like photos of the Great Wall or Chinese Dragon, etc. they saw more students thinking that the fish was being chased, while an American prompt, like pictures of Marilyn Monroe or Superman, saw those students believing that it was a leader fish. Why are our cultural symbols Marilyn Monroe and Superman?The bottom line is: when attempting to learn a new culture it is far better to surround yourself withthat culture than create an island of the old one.8. Why does the author use a question in the first paragraph?A. To raise a question.B. To arouse readers’ awareness.C. To introduce the topic.D. T o tell a story.9. The underlined word “pistachios” in the fou rth paragraph refers to ___________.A. picturesB. a kind of foodC. volunteersD. an image10. From the passage we can infer that ___________.A. with Chinese prompts, more students thought that it was a leader fishB. with an American prompt, more students thought that the fish was being chasedC. different images would change with different peopleD. different cultures would affect how students look at the photo11. According to the research, which is a better way for a student ina foreign land to learn a new culture?A. To surround himself with that culture.B. T o create an island of the old one.C. To see random images of China.D. T o talk with a Caucasian avatar.DJust three days after hitting the screen across China, the Chinese animation (动画) film “Monkey King: Hero is Back”aroused enthusiasm among audience and ticket sales have exceeded(超过)100 million yuan ($16.11 million). Web celebrities and many fans even posted top ics about the film on China’s Twitter-like Weibo, atwhich heated discussion are sparked.“Monkey King: Hero is Back” is based on the household legend of the Monkey King, but tells a not-so familiar story. However, it’s still a Chinese s tyle heroic legend and an exciting adventure against evil and darkness in troubled times, according to。

However, there are many other great destinations in the UK too, one of which is the South-West of England. Here are my top four reasons for visiting this area.Cream teasThe traditional English afternoon pick-me-up of scones—small cakes—served with thick cream and jam, accompanied with a pot of tea, originates from the South-West. You'll be sure to find plenty of cafés selling these delights in the area! Just don't get into a debate with the locals about how it should be eaten—Devonshire folk say that the cream should be spread onto the scone first and then the jam, while the Cornish say that it should be the other way round!Dartmoor National ParkIn the heart of the South-West, this national park has been voted the UK's favourite. There are plenty of great walks to choose from, which will lead you to discover Dartmoor's charm(魅力)! Surprisingly beautiful beachesEngland is not known for its beaches, but in the South-West you will find plenty of wonderful and often deserted ones. Some examples include Whitsand Bay in Cornwall and Woolacombe Beach in Devon. If you don't mind the slightly cooler temperatures than other beach destinations in Europe, you are in for a real treat!Characterful cities and charming villagesThe South-West really has got it all! As well as being surrounded by beautiful nature, it is full of urban jewels. The city of Exeter in Devon has great shopping, as well as lots of unusual cafés by the quayside(码头区) and a river walk to one of the city's best-known pubs. Cornwall has its own treasures too. Pretty villages and towns such as St Ives and Mousehole line the coastline, and they are perfect for spending those relaxing summer afternoons.(1) How do the Cornish think scones should be eaten?A. By mixing the jam and the cream.B. By covering the jam with the cream.C. By eating them with either cream or jam.D. By spreading the jam over the cream.(2) According to the passage, Woolacombe Beach in Devon may.A. be hotter than other beaches in EuropeB. be a famous beach in EnglandC. receive only a few tourists every yearD. be more suitable for sunbathing(3) If you are a shopping animal, you can go to in the South-West of England.A. the city of ExeterB. CornwallC. St IvesD. Mousehole2、【来源】 2018年湖南长沙开福区长沙市第一中学高三三模(B篇)第24~27题8分Molly is a 7-year-old girl. Her grandmother was watching her play with the 2-year-old German shepherd dog named Haus in their backyard when the dog suddenly jumped in front of the girl and reared up(用后腿站立) several times. It wasn't clear what happened at first, but they could tell Haus was bleeding. They brought Haus to a vet. When his leg was shaved, three bite marks could be seen—signs of being bitten by a snake. "It shows us that the dog protected my family at risk to his own life, " said Molly's father.A family friend firstly posted the dog's story online to collect money. "The response, " said Molly's father, "has been encouraging." Now hundreds of donors are coming to the family's rescue, quickly topping the goal of $15, 000 on a GoFundMe account to help pay for antivenin(抗蛇毒血清) needed to keep the dog that is still recovering in a hospital alive. By this afternoon, $35, 000 had been raised for the dog's care.The family lives near a state park that is a habitat for snakes, and dangerous animals can slip under their fence from the wilderness. The snake's venom damaged the dog's kidneys(肾脏). Vets now expect a full recovery, but it won't be cheap. It costs$1, 000 to$1, 500 in the ICU each day, and each bottle of antivenin costs$618. Haus is averaging 4 or 5 bottles per day to make the poison leave his system.The family adopted Haus just two months ago from a rescue organization for free, but he just went beyond the family's expectations. "Now the kids are giving more love to him, " said Molly's father.(1) Who started the activity of raising money for Haus?A. Molly.B. Molly's father.C. Molly's grandmother.D. A friend of Molly's family.(2) How much should the family at least pay for Haus one day in the ICU?A. $2, 472.B. $3, 472.C. $3, 972.D. $4, 090.(3) What's the family's attitude to Haus?A. Grateful.B. Curious.C. Regretful.D. Unclear.(4) What's TRUE about Haus?A. The snake bit it on its neck.B. The Molly family didn't expect his brave act.C. It's still hard to say whether Haus can have a full recovery.D. It has been a member of the Molly family for many years.3、【来源】 2018年湖南长沙开福区长沙市第一中学高三三模(C篇)第28~31题8分Michelin inspectors, the super-secret spies of the restaurant industry, are the anonymous(匿名的)keepers of the famous Michelin star rating. They've been writing anonymous reports of restaurants for over 100 years."We say it's a little like the CIA, " said Inspector "M" with a laugh. She asked that her identity not be revealed." My whole life is staying under the radar, staying away from cameras, using fake names, trying to sneak (偷偷地走) in and out of restaurants quietly."Along with their boss, Jean Luc Naret, the director of the Michelin Guide, about 90 inspectors around the world decide which restaurants will win the culinary(烹饪的) equivalent of an Oscar, a Nobel Prize, and Mega millions jackpot all at once. The Michelin Guide covers 23 countries, and out of the 45, 000 rated restaurants, less than 100 have the top rating—only nine American restaurants carry three stars.If the name "Michelin" brings the tires(轮胎) on your car to mind, you're not too far off. The Michelin rating began in France in 1900 as a marketing trick. The Michelin brothers thought their customers would burn more rubber(橡胶) if given a list of hotels and restaurants to explore.Inspector "M" admitted being an inspector leads to a lonely dining life." Most of the time we dine alone, " she said." It gives us the ability to really focus on the food and the ambience(气氛) and capture the entire experience." To cover their tracks, "M" said sometimes two inspectors will dine together and write two separate papers. It's better than saying "table for one", right?"When you're really, really into food and very passionate about food, everything else that's going on around you isn't so important, " she said.(1) The underlined words "TAL#NBSP under the radar" in Paragraph 2 mean.A. trying to be unnoticedB. living in dangerC. being the focus of the mediaD. making programs on the radio(2) We can learn from the text that.A. "Michelin" was a restaurant's name at firstB. restaurants don't welcome Michelin inspectorsC. Michelin inspectors will examine restaurants' kitchensD. less than 1% of rated restaurants get three stars(3) Sometimes two inspectors dine together so that they can.A. protect their identitiesB. cut the expense on the foodC. save trouble by sharing a paperD. talk about the food over the meal(4) What would be the best title for the text?A. M's experience as a CIAB. The legend of Michelin brothersC. Michelin inspectors: food industry spiesD. Michelin—a giant in the tire and restaurant industry4、【来源】 2018年湖南长沙开福区长沙市第一中学高三三模(D篇)第32~35题8分When Richard Mankin was a boy, he wondered why insects could fly but he couldn't. Indeed, he recalls, "I always kind of wanted to fly." Now as an entomologist(昆虫学家) in Gainesville, Florida, he studies insects for the AgriculturalResearch Service, part of the U.S. Department of Agriculture(USDA).Mankin still can't fly-at least not without a plane. In fact, a rare muscle disease means he finds even walking hard. To get around, Mankin wears leg braces(支架) and uses two sticks. But that doesn't stop him from getting into the field to listen for bugs.He focuses on sounds most of us will never hear. With electronic equipment, he listens for the sounds that bugs make in wood, soil, or stored products.Mankin's disability played an indirect role in his career path. "I really started off in physics, " he says. But opportunities for people with disabilities seemed limited when he was in college. Then he got a chance to work at USDA in an insect research lab. He realized“there were just a lot of physics tools that you could apply to questions of entomology." Moreover, he notes, " Nobody else was doing it." Before long, he was hooked. He got more and more pleasure out of the work.Since turning to entomology—the study of bugs-Mankin has helped to develop equipment that can listen in on insects feeding on a tree. Their sounds make the wood vibrate(振动). Pressure vibrations from the sound hit a crystal(水晶振动器) in his tool. The crystal develops a voltage(电压) when it's pressed due to the vibrations in the wood. The strength and frequency of voltage changes in the crystal let Mankin and others measure the sound of the insects.Mankin's research has taken him across the United States. He also needs to work in other countries. Often he teams up with biologists to listen for insects. Sometimes other scientists will assist him. "I'm good at operating the equipment, " he notes, "but I'm not good at climbing trees."(1) According to the text, if Mankin weren't physically disabled,he wouldhave.A. been a pilotB. become a physicianC. chosen a different careerD. performed better in entomology(2) What does the underlined part "TAL#NBSP he was hooked" in Paragraph 4 mean?A. He was confused.B. He got exhausted.C. He became successful.D. He fell in love with entomology.(3) What is the fifth paragraph mainly intended to show?A. How Mankin studies bugs.B. How insects' sound is recorded.C. How Mankin's equipment works.D. How Mankin develops new equipment.(4) What can we know about Mankin from the text?A. He developed the electronic equipment alone.B. He has travelled to lots of places for his work.C. He has become world-famous for his accomplishments.D. He has to rely on others to solve questions of entomology.二、七选五(共5小题,每小题2分,共10分)5、【来源】 2018年湖南长沙开福区长沙市第一中学高三三模第36~40题10分We all care about what others think of us and want to beliked.1However, there are also many smaller, simpler things you can do, which can affect how others view you.●Prove you are paying attention.To really show someone your interest in him or her, try bringing up a topic the person mentioned earlier. Did your co-worker talk about working with his son on a science fair project last week? Follow up and ask how it went.2In fact, sometimes it says more that you can recall and show interest in even the small happenings in another person's life.●Handle criticism in a wise way.While you want to be generous with your praise, be careful with your criticism. For example, if someone makes an error, don't call that person out in front of agroup.3Anyhow, be always gentle with criticism and only offer it when it's truly needed.●Ask for advice.Asking someone for advice is a great way to get people to like you. It shows that you respect the other individual's opinion.4When you make someone feel better about himself or herself, that person will most certainly end up liking you for it.●5Most people love to talk about themselves. If you are asking questions and getting people to talk about themselves, they'll leave the conversation thinking that you're the coolest.A. Do something to be remembered.B. Everyone likes to feel needed and important.C. It doesn't have to be a big, life-changing event.D. Ask other people about their lives and interests.E. You can discuss your own mistakes before digging into someone else's errors.F. The basics of getting people to like you are obvious—be nice, considerate, and polite.G. Basically, you ask for a favor, the other person does it for you, you thank them, and they end up liking you more.三、完形填空(共20小题,每小题1.5分,共30分)6、【来源】 2018年湖南长沙开福区长沙市第一中学高三三模第41~60题30分In 2010, Christy Woodrow started her blog(博客)Ordinary Traveler mainly to keep a journal of her travels, starting with a six-week trip through Southeast Asia.1blogging wasn't a practicable source of income at the time, it was really a great project for her whenit2.

This is certainly what happened in my life.When I was l8, I left home for El Paso. Upon reaching downtown El Paso, I met a homeless man on the street comer. He stopped me and questioned me as I passed by. He asked me if I was running away from home. I told him, “Not exactly, sir, since my father had given me a ride to the freeway in Houston and given me his blessings while saying. ‘It is important to follow your dream and what is in your heart, Son.’”After a simple conversation, the bum (流浪汉) told me to follow him. He told me that he had something grand to show me and share with me. We walked a couple of blocks until we came upon the downtown El Paso Public Library. The bum first led m e to a table and asked me to sit down and wait for a moment while he looked for something special among the shelves. A few moments later, he returned with a couple of old books under his armsand put them on the table.He then sat down beside me and said, “There are two things that I want to teach you, young man. Number one is to never judge a book by its cover. ”He followed with, “I’ll bet you think I’m a bum, don’t you, young man?”I said, “Well, uh, yes, I guess so, sir. ”“Well, young man, I’ve got a little surprise for you. I am one of the wealthiest men in the world. I originally come from the Northeast and have all the things that money can buy. But a year ago, my wife passed away, and since then I have been deeply reflecting upon life. I realized there were certain things I had not yet experienced in life, one of which was what it would be like to live like a beggar on the streets. For the past year I have been going from city to city doing just that. So, you see, don’t ever judge a book by its cover, for a cover can fool you.“Number two is to learn to read, my boy, for there is only one thing that people can’t take away from you and that is your wisdom. ”At that moment, he reached forward grabbed my right hand in his and put them upon the books he’d pulled from the shelves. They were the writings of Plato and Aristotle—immortal(不朽的) classics from ancient times.24. Why did the bum stop the author on the street?A. He wanted to know how he arrived there.B.

The sweet part is saying hello to a new school year and school friends.However, going back to school can also be a stressful time for children and families. Every kid must make the change from easy summer life to routines, schedules and homework. Parents might also stress about spending extra money for a new school year. They often need to pay school fees or to buy new school clothes, sports equipment,musical instruments and school supplies.Back-to-school stress is different for different ages. Younger children may feel scared to leave their families. Making new friends and dealing with bullying(欺霸行为) can also cause stress for students. Older students may stress about their appearance, grades and getting into college.A 20l3 survey by the American Psychological Association found that teens in the U. S. are now as stressed as adults. A high percentage of the teens surveyed say they are stressed about getting into a good college (83%) or deciding what to do after high school (69%) and financial concerns for their family (65%)However, parents, teachers and children can all help to make the transition(过渡) back to school easier.Mary Anne Aidala began teaching in the New York school system in l962. She retired 39 years later, in 200l. She is an award-winning teacher. She advises parents to focus on the basics—get enough sleep, eat healthy foods, and tum off electronics before bedtime.“Wel l, the first thing they (parents) have to do is to get them (children) on a schedule of sleep habits. And they should also make sure they have a good breakfast to keep their brains alert(机敏的).

Living a happy and healthy school lifeC. Dealing with back-to-school stressD. Getting school life back to normalDWhen we do the same movements with our bodies over and over again, we overuse some muscles. And that overuse can lead to strain(紧张) and injury. Sometimes those problems can come from doing sports. But exercise professionals say they are now seeing another cause for muscle problems: hand-held technology devices (设备).Staring down at your phone or tablet for long periods of time puts great tension on your neck and spine(脊椎) .Mary people who use tech devices also bend their shoulders forward Experts say this posture (姿势) puts strain on the entire upper body. Muscle strain linked to hand-held technology has become such a common condition that it now has a name: tech-neck.Kimberly Fielding, an exercise teacher in New York City explains that constantly looking down at our devices creates an unnatural bend in our spine. This can cause nerve pain and other problems. “A lot of the curves of the neck can change, so instead of the neck spine going inward, the curve can be a little bit different and it causes nerve pain and disc herniation(椎间盘突出) and different muscle tension headaches—different things that really can reduce quality of life. ”Fielding created a class to directly address the problem of tech neck. The class uses different exercises to release tension in the upper body and strengthen back and neck muscles. Fielding says these exercises may feel uncomfortable in the beginning because the neck muscles may have become weak.However, you don’t need to take a class l ike Fielding’s. You can take simple steps to improve tech neck. For a quick fix, hold your phone at eye level. At the same time, take breaks from using your technology by standing up and stretching your legs often. Also, give your eyes a break by closing them throughout the day.32. What does the underlined phrase “tech neck” in Paragraph 2 refer to?A. The painful neck caused by electronic devices.B.

What can we learn from Kimberly Fielding’s findings?A. Muscle tension can lead to spine curving and headaches.B. Nerve pain and other problems are caused by disc herniation.C. Staring down at your smartphone does great harm to your neck spine.D. Quality of life depends in a large part on the condition of neck spine.34. Why did Kimberly Fielding start the class?A. To help those suffering from tech neck.B. To introduce her newly-invented devices.C. To further study the causes of tech neck.D. To stress the danger of hand-held devices.35. What is the purpose of the last paragraph?A. To invite people to attend Fielding’s class.B. To urge people to keep away from e-products.C. To advise those addicts to exercise their necks.D. To give some practical tips to prevent neck pain.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。
