A(2019·浙江金丽衢十二校高三联考)Created by Casey and Shelley Black, the Northern Lights Wildlife Wolf Centre focuses on not only rescuing young abandoned wolves but educating the public. Unlike other centres, you can actually walk with the wolves and have exciting, handson interaction with them here. And so, we gathered on late winter morning to learn, prepare and walk.Scrappy and Flora, our wolves that day, were brought to the centre when only a few days old. “They lived in the house with us for the first several months. We treated them like human babies, fed them and slept with them，” said Shelley. So, they are totally used to people. However, these are wild animals. For that reason, Shelley and Casey explained, the walk is totally on the wolf’s terms. “We don’t approach them, but if they come up to us, we can touch them.”With all this in mind, we headed for the woods. We were walking on a logging road when suddenly, Flora, all 60 pounds of her, hurried up to me and raised up on her legs. She was almost as tall as me. As she leaned in, put her huge muddy paws on my shoulders and sniffed my face, apparently she was saying hello in wolf talk.We walked farther, maybe half a mile, while Scrappy and Flora dashed in and out of the woods stopping to occasionally roll in the snow, dig for this or that and just play. Then we all headed into the trees to a picturesque(美丽的) stream where the wolves splashed, drank and had a great time.One could point out that this whole adventure was staged(筹划) and quite artificial. But the purpose, Casey and Shelley said, is to explain the wolves’ place in the environment and, primarily, to let people know wolves d on’t have to be universally feared—they really don’t hide secretly in the woods just waiting to eat people, but they’d rather avoid people, for the most part.1．How is the Northern Lights Wildlife Wolf Centre different from others?A．It trains and educates wild wolves.B．It aims to rescue young abandoned wolves.C．It raises wolves for commercial purposes.D．It allows visitors to take a walk with wolves.2．Why did Flora behave like that when she saw the author on the logging road?A．To express curiosity.B．To show friendliness.C．To attract attention.D．To seek companionship.3．Why do Casey and Shelley organize such an adventure?A．To advertise the centre.B．To publicize wolf hunting.C．To promote environmental protection.D．To clarify some conventional views of wolves.BAustralian adults want to see “life skills”introduced into school curriculums, including moneymanagement, job preparation and domestic tasks. New research from Monash University showed Aussie adults also widely supported the inclusion of technology, coding and artificial intelligence subjects in student curriculums to prepare them for future jobs.Coauthor Professor Neil Selwyn, from Monash’s new Education Futures think tank, said the survey results of more than 2，000 Australians had taken himself and Dr. Deana Leahy by surprise.“The life skills—I wasn’t expecting that at all，” he said. Those quizzed were asked to rate the value of a list of subjects already in the curriculum, but were also given an open space to write what they think should be included. Prof. Selwyn said people called for schools to teach financial skills, budgeting, cooking and doing taxes.“You could argue that these are things people should be learning themselves, or learning from their families，” he said.“But we’ve got to be thinking forward in terms of the skills people will need for jobs and their ways of living.”One respondent said schools should introduce a “contemporary life s kills” subject：“A compulsory 1hour a week class on skills needed that parents seem continuall y unable to teach their kids”. Suggestions for the class included resume writing, filing tax returns and health claims. Another respondent called for students to be taught “generallife skills” as unfortunately not enough kids will have parents to actually be bothered to educate them or simply parents don’t know themselves.Of the subjects, maths was the highest ranked(75.5 percent), followed closely by English(74.8 percent). And while science was the third highest ranked subject(46.2 percent), it was more strongly supported by those who earned higher wages and were universityeducated compared to lower income earners.Aspects of school life considered least important were students having fun, learning about things that interested them and being given the opportunity to be creative.4．Why did the adults suggest adding “life skills” to school curriculums?A．To vary school curriculums.B．To enrich s tudents’ school life.C．To prepare students for future work and life.D．To save parents the trouble of educating kids.5．What did Prof. Selwyn think of the adults’ suggestions?A．Reasonable. B．Ridiculous.C．Interesting. D．Impractical.6．What can we know from the text?A．The present curriculums are to adults’ taste.B．Contemporary life skills involve resume writing.C．Students’ interests have been greatly promoted.D．The parents quizzed think well of school life.CRich as a KingWilliam Ⅰ， who conquered England some 950 years ago, had wealth, power and an army. Yet although William was very rich by the standard of his time, he had nothing like a flush toilet(抽水马桶), paper towels, or a riding lawn mower(割草机). How did he get__by?History books are filled with wealthy people who were poor compared to me. I have storm windows, Croesus did not. Entire nations trembled before Alexander the Great, but he couldn’t buy cat food. Czar Nicholas lacked an electric saw.Given how much better off I am than so many famous dead people, you’d think I’d be content. The trouble is that, like most people, I compare my wealth with that of living persons: neighbors, school classmates,famous TV people. The greed I feel toward my friend Howard’s new kitchen is not reduced by the fact that no kings ever had a refrigerator with glass doors.There is really no rising or falling standard of living. Over the centuries people simply find different things to feel sad about. You’d think that simply not having disease would put us in a good mood, but no, we want a hot bath too.Of course, one way to achieve happiness would be to realize that even by today’s standards the things I own are pretty nice. My house is smaller than the houses of many investment bankers, but even so it has a lot more rooms than my wife and I can keep clean.Besides, to people looking back at our era from a century or two in the future, these bankers’ fancy counter tops and my own worn Formica will seem equally shabby. I can’t keep up with my neighbors right now. But just wait.7．What does the underlined phrase “get by” in the first paragraph mean?A．Succeed as a king.B．Deal with complaints.C．Live in a satisfactory way.D．Get some extra money.8．How many historical figures are mentioned to compare lives in the past and present?A．3. B．4.C．5. D．6.9．According to the passage, the author intends to ________．A．tell us to be content with lifeB．warn us to live in a simple wayC．teach us to learn lessons from lifeD．encourage us to struggle for wealth10．What’s the author’s attitude towards life?A．Doubtful. B．Optimistic.C．Uncaring. D．Cautious.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(2019·浙江瑞安高三第一次调研)When Huang Lizhi took her first class in African sociology at theUniversity of the Witwatersrand in South Africa in February, her professor asked her and her classmates what impressed them most when it came to Africa.Unexpectedly, Huang, 31, found that words like “poverty” and “safari”—negative words that were often associated with the continent in media reports—were the kind of terms her African classmates didn’t want to hear. Instead, they preferred to hear the question answered in this way ：“Africa is the cradle of humankind”and “Africans are passionate and generous”．Apparently, there are some misunderstandings between us. It’s true that with incidents like the Ebola outbreak in West Africa and the emergence(出现) of pirates off the coast of Somalia hitting the news, it’s easy for us to keep forgetting that Africa has one of the world’s oldest civilizations—Egypt, born by the world’s longest river, the Nile. The proof is in the Great Pyramid of Giza and the Great Sphinx of Giza, which are both popular among tourists. And the tombs of ancient Egypt have also become endless sources for the literature and film industries.When it comes to the natural environment of Africa, our misunderstandings are only bigger. But the truth is that instead of being extremely hot all year round and covered by desert, the continent has large areas of savannas(稀树草原) where lions, giraffes and zebras live, the snowcapped Kilimanjaro—the highest mountain in Africa—and even thick forest on the island of Madagascar. These misunderstandings are one of the reasons why the 2018 Beijing Summit of the Forum on China Africa Cooperation was held on Sept. 3 and 4—to understand each other better.Indeed, only by visiting Africa herself did Huang see the convenient living conditions, the amazing natural beauty and the friendly people.In her eyes, her classmates were as hopeful about the future of their own countries as they were about Africa as a whole, and they were quick to demonstrate both their strong will and activity. “At that moment, I knew exactly what they wanted—they wanted their culture to be respected.”1．Which of the following best explains the underlined “cradle” in paragraph 2?A．A small bed for babies.B．A basket to hold something.C．A place for people to relax themselves.D．A place where something important began.2．Which of the following would Huang agree with?A．To see is to believe.B．Think twice before you do.C．A miss is as good as a mile.D．Don’t judge a person by his appearance.3．What can be a suitable title for the text?A．Valuing a CultureB．Understanding AfricaC．Paying a Visit to AfricaD．Discovering a ContinentBHave you ever heard of agritourism where you canexperience the farm life? If not, Dr. Cindy AyersElliottwill tell you the real story of Food Print Farms.The original concept of building Food Print Farms was simple. When AyersElliott returned to her hometown after graduation, she didn’t have to look any further than her state’s alarming health statistics to find a mission. Everywhere she turned, there were reports of high blood pressure, diabetes, obesity and heart disease. “The problem was already identified，” explains AyersElliott.“Too many Mississippians were seriously unhealthy and it didn’t take research to see that. And many of the state’s greatest health challenges could directly result from poor diet.”These days, Food Print Farms, which started with a few raised beds of herbs and vegetables, is making fresh, naturally grown food. “When speaking of the key to my success, the coop model works because we share the work and rewards，” notes AyersElliott. “A perfect example is theWingfield High School football team. To earn the money for equipment and other items, players committed to working five hours a week on the farm, and by the end of the summer they produced 1，000 melons and the profits from their sales helped to buy weights, Tshirts, sweat suits and pregame meals. But the lessons they learned about the rewards of hard work and working together to accomplish something were even more valuable products of their efforts.”“It’s a model that can easily be learned in other places and I’m looking forward to seeing some of our current partners do just that —to take what they have learned here and spin it off in other communities，” Ayer sElliott remarks. She is now looking forward to developing an agritourism area to the farm, where visitors can experience the farm life, learn new skills and take with them seeds of inspiration they can sow in their own communities when they return home.4．What made AyersElliott set up Food Print Farms?A．The problems faced by local farmers.B．Her further research into heart disease.C．The failure of her career after graduation.D．The health state of people in her hometown.5．Why does the author take the football team as an example?A．To advocate the concept of independence.B．To stress the importance of teamwork.C．To support the idea of coop model.D．To explore the key to success.6．What is the main idea of the text?A．Naturally grown food benefits people’s health.B．Food Print Farms is making a difference in Mississippi.C．AyersElliott encourages people to experience the farm life.D．Agritourism is becoming increasingly popular in America.CAnxiety is a natural response that changed graduallyover millions of years to make us more careful and ourbodies prepared to flee danger. But feeling anxious because you hear a noise on a dark street isn’t the same thing as having an anxiety disorder. “The key thing we look for in the clinic is whether anxiety is interfering(妨碍) with a person’s daytoday life, or causing them a lot of unhappiness，” says Nick Grey of King’s College London.To clinical psychologists like Grey, “maladaptive(不适应的)beliefs” are typical in anxiety disorders and are often used to determine the type of anxiety someone has. In social anxiety disorder, the most common anxiety disorder, you might believe that your face turning red will result in people laughing at you. People with this type of disorder experience constant and great fear before, during and after social events.If you have panic disorder, you might assume that you are having a heart attack if your heart starts to race. The physical symptoms of anxiety—a pounding heart, breathing difficulty, feeling dizzy—will then come on in a rush. Everyone can experience such panic attacks from time to time, but in panic disorder the attacks are regular and become a source of anxiety themselves.Other “maladaptive beliefs” are less specific. Generalized anxiety disorder is characterized by continuous worries about a range of different events or activities, for at least six months. If you have this condition, the belief driving your anxiety could, for example, be the feeling that it’s your job to take care of other people, or that you have responsibilities that you must meet at all costs. To decide who to refer for further treatment, doctors might use a tool c alled the GAD7 test.7．Which of the following belongs to an anxiety disorder?A．Quarreling with parents.B．Getting to school earlier.C．Missing a lunch.D．Knocking on the wall.8．What is social anxiety characterized by?A．Continuous worries.B．Past experiences.C．Maladaptive beliefs.D．Frequent terrors.9．What will happen to you when you have panic disorder?A．You can’t stand steadily.B．Your face turns red.C．You can’t touch anything.D．Your hands feel numb.10．What anxiety disorder occurs more often than others?A．Generalized anxiety.B．Panic attacks.C．Social anxiety.D．Acute anxiety attacks.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。

D．Literature awards.3．How much would a photographer normally spend on his favourite books listed?A．$39.95. B．$19.95.C．$59.9. D．$99.9.4．Which book would a pop star’s fan probably buy?A．The Lyrics: 1961－2020.B．Taylor Swift: This Is Our Song.C．Misty Copeland.D．@ NatGeo: The Most Popular Instagram Photos.B(2021·山西名校联考)I cherish being around people who are totally comfortable with who they are.There always seems to be an aura(光环) of love and acceptance that follows these people around.I think it’s because they’ve figured out one of the biggest secrets of life: the chance of being loved and accepted grows so much when w e can truly say we couldn’t be more comfortable with ourselves.People like being around those who are comfortable with themselves because they’re less threatening.We all feel the need to protect ourselves from threats aimed at our insecurities.Insecurities are like open wounds and it hurts when people poke(捅；戳) atthem．It can be exhausting to hang around with folks who constantly poke at us just to gain some kind of external recognition through making everyone else feel smaller.My favorite thing about people who are comfortable with themselves is that they need no external recognition.They have discovered their worth is, by nature, something that cannot be taken away or added to based on what other people think.Ir onically enough, this ends up providing comfortable people with more external validation than those who feel they need it most. Because comfortable people’s worth comes from within, they see no point in tearing others down.To them, the only sensible way to speak about another i s to be positive.I guess when you realize your worth comes from within, you might as well build others up rather than tear them down, since their size is of no threat to your sense of selfworth.Plus, it’s a lot more fun to speak love to others and watch their eyes glow than it is to hurt someone’s feelings for a cheap laugh, anyway.When we become comfortable with ourselves through fully accepting who we are, we can silence the noise our insecurities make in public situations and enjoy the wonderful reality that unfolds before us.The result is a world with fewer insecurities.To me, that sounds like a better world.5．Which of the following sayings best expresses the main idea of the passage?A．Actions speak louder than words.B．No pains, no gains.C．Luck favors those who are comfortable with who they are.D．Don’t claim to know what you don’t know.6．What does the underlined word “them” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?A．Insecurities.B．Open wounds.C．People who are comfortable with themselves.D．Threats.7．What’s the author’s purpose of writing this passage?A．To give a vivid description of people who are comfortable with themselves.B．To ask people to make friends with people who are comfortable with themselves.C．To offer some practical advice on how to be a person who is comfortable with himself/herself.D．To appeal to people to be comfortable with themselves so that we can live in a better world.C(2021·辽宁大连双基测试)Whenever we see a button, we want to press it because we know that something will happen.This is true in most cases, for example, on a doorbell.But some buttons are actually fake(假的), like the “close” button on a lift.Many people are in the habit of pressing the “close” button because they don’t have the patience to wait.But lifts’“close” buttons are a complete trick, at least in the U．S.—the doors will not close any faster no matter how hard you press.It started in the 1990s when the Americans with Disabilities Act was passed in the U．S., making sure that all lifts stayed open long enough so that people with disabilities could enter safely.Only repair workers can use the buttons to speed up the door closing process if they have special keys.But to normal lift riders, the buttons aren’t completely useless.According to psychologists, fake buttons can actually make you feel better by offering you a sense of control.“A sense of control is very important.It reduces stress and increases wellbeing，”said Ellen J．Langer, a psychology professor at Harvard University.Experts also added that a lot of buttons that don’t do anything exist in our lives for this same purpose.For example, pedestrian crosswalk buttons don’t live up to their names either.Pressing them used to help make the traffic signals change faster, but that was before computer controlled traffic signals were introduced.But psychologists found it interesting that even when people are aware of these little “white lies”， they still continue to push fake buttons because as long as t he doors eventually close, it is considered to be wort h the effort.8．What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?A．To describe different fake buttons.B．To explore the functions of fake buttons.C．To analyze various habits of pushing buttons.D．To explain the disadvantages of fake buttons.9．Wh at can we learn about the “clos e” buttons on a lift in America?A．They work when people press them hard.B．They were designed for a sense of control.C．They never speed up the doorclosing process.D．They take the safety of the disabled into account.10．What can we infer about pedestrian crosswalk buttons?A．They can make people feel better.B．They help computers work faster.C．They can control the traffic signals.D．They help pedestrians cross safely.11．Which may be the best title for the passage?A．Buttons in the U．S.A.B．Buttons Always LieC．Buttons May Not WorkD．“Close” Buttons on LiftsD(2021·济南模拟)Tea, the most typical English drink, became established in Britain because of the influence of a foreign princess, Catherine of Braganza, the queen of Charles Ⅱ.As a lover of tea since her childhood in Portugal, she brought teadrinking to the English royal court and set a trend for the__beverage in the 17th century.The fashion soon spread beyond the circle of the nobility to the middle classes, and tea became a popular drink at the London coffee houses where people met to do business and discuss events of the day.Many employers served a cup of tea to their workers in the middle of the morning, thus inventing a lasting British institution, the“tea break”．However, drinking tea in social settings outside the workplace was beyond the means of the majority of British people.It came with a high price tag and tea was taxed as well.Around 1800, the seventh Duchess of Bedford, Anna Maria Russell, began the popular practice of “afternoon tea”， a ceremony taking place at about four o’clock.Until then, people did not usually eat or drink anything between lunch and dinner.At approximately the same time, the Earl of Sandwich popularized a new way of eating bread—in thin slices, with something like jam or cucumbers between them.Before long, a small meal at the end of the afternoon, involving tea and sandwiches, became part of the British way of life.As tea became much cheaper during the 19th century, its popularity spread right through all corners of the British society.Thus, tea became Britain’s favorite drink.In working class households, it was served with the main meal of the day, eaten when workers returned home after a day’s labor.This meal has become known as “high tea”．Today, tea can be drunk at any time of the day, and accounts for over twofifths of all drinks consumed in Britain —with the exception of water.12．What is mainly discussed about tea in the text?A．Its development in Britain.B．Its traditional ways of drinking.C．Its influence around the world.D．Its popularity in Europe.13．What do the underlined words “the beverage” probably refer to?A．Tea drinking.B．A small meal.C．A way of eating bread.D．A choice of drinks.14．Why was tea unable to be accepted as a common drink in Britain in the 17th century?A．It was merely served in London.B．It was taxed as an alcoholic drink.C．It was forbidden in business settings.D．It was too expensive for most people.15．How is the text organized?A．By cause and effect.B．By comparison.C．In time order.D．In frequency order.第二节 (共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)依照短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

A(2021·云南第一次高中毕业生温习统一检测)It’s not what you look at that matters；it’s what you see.—Henry David Thoreau Slow Art Day is a global event with a simple mission: help more people discover for themselves the joy of looking at and loving art.Why slow?When people look slowly at a piece of art, they make discoveries.The most important discovery they make is that they can see and experience art without an expert.And that’s an exciting discovery.It unlocks passion and creativity and helps to create more art lovers.How does it work?One day each year, people all over the world visit local museums and galleries to look at art slowly.Participants look at five works of art for 10 minutes each and then meet together over lunch to talk about their experience.That’s it.Simple by design, the goal is to focus on the art.In fact, Slow Art Day works quite well this way.By the numbersOver 1，200 individual Slow Art Day events have taken place since its official launch in 2021.Slow Art Day events have taken place on all seven continen ts.700 venues(museums, galleries, artist studios, sculpture parks, public art sites, etc.)have hosted Slow Art Day events.Participants love Slow Art DayFeedback on this simple event has been overwhelmingly positive.Here’s a sample：“I loved taking the time to just‘be’ with the works, particularly pieces I might otherwise walk by.It’s a much better way of visiting the art museum than the usual idle ramble.Discussion afterwards was fun, interesting, informative and eyeopening.I look forward to doing it again.”Slow Art Day 2021 is Saturday, April 14, in museums and galleries worldwide.Join us and experience art differently.1．The author quotes Thoreau’s words at the beginning to ________．A．arouse readers’ interest in artB．introduce the topic of the textC．stress the importance of lookingD．illustrate the joy of art appreciation2．A typical slow art activity________．A．lasts about fifty minutes when people look at art works criticallyB．encourages people to see art for themselves and discuss with expertsC．organizes people to look at art on their own and talk about their experience D．inspires people to make discoveries about art works and create their own works 3．What can we learn about Slow Art Day from the text?A．The eighth Slow Art Day was held in 2021.B．It happens once a year in all museums and galleries worldwide.C．It has become an art festival celebrated on all seven continents.D．Slow Art Day events have been held in over 1，200 different places.4．According to the text, the author________．A．has conducted a survey on Slow Art DayB．strongly recommends Slow Art Day eventsC．sees the good and bad sides of Slow Art DayD．is frequently involved in Slow Art Day eventsB(2021·黄岗检测)About six months ago, I was working in a job where I sat at a computer in an office for 50 or so hours each week. My best friend, Dusty，also sat in an office at a computer all day. We often talked about what a waste it seemed to be, spending our time inside in front of a computer all day long. I ended up leaving my job, and so did Dusty. Neither one of us are sitting in an office all day. Last week, Dusty came to my home and declared，“I’m going to travel.”Of course, traveling is exciting. It’s getting to experience new things, getting to be a slightly different version of ourselves, but I think the point is more about the mindset (心态) that it allows for than the actual reality that comes with it. Waking up every day with a sense of excitement for the unknown. Approaching each interaction during the day with a sense of wonder. Not thinking about yesterday or tomorrow, and just about whatever’s right in front of you.However, the thing is, we don’t need to be in__transit to be able to approach our days this way. It is possible for me to be living my normal life and be excited for the unknown of the day. I meet new people and do new things every day. Yes, they might be in Santa Monica, a few blocks from my apartment, but what’s the difference between a new person here and a new person in Australia?I read an Alan Watts quote recently, and it goes as follows：“If I ask you what you did, saw, heard, smelled, touched and tasted yesterday, I am likely to get nothing more than the thin, sketchy outline of the few things that you noticed, and of those only what you thought worth remembering...

B．It was wonderful.C．It was thoughtful. D．It was mysterious.12．What does the underlined word “sequences” in the last sentence probably mean?A．Results. B．Order.C．Tricks. D．Progress.D(2021·贵州普通高等学校招生适应性考试)Japan is a mysterious land of technological wonders, but the latest is a relatively simple solution to an ageold problem faced by beginners and professional chefs alike.Grocery stores across the country are about to start stocking onions that won’t make people cry.The new tearfree onion is called the Smile Ball, which is a pretty adorable name for a vegetable, and it’s an onion carefully engineered to not irritate(刺激) the eyes of people who cut into it.Regular onions release a gas when their cells are damaged and that gas irritates people’s eyes and makes them cry.The Smile Ball onions release no such a gas, so they can be chopped easily.They are also sweet like fruit when eaten raw.The scientific advancement of the tearless onion is not free, however.Smile Balls, developed by the Japanese producer House Foods, will cost about $ 4.30 for a pack of just two when they go on sale in supermarkets across Japan.That’s about double the cost of a normal onion, but it might be worth the extra money for those who are particularly sensitive to the traditional onion gas.Earlier test sales of the tearfree onions were held on Tokyo, with the onions selling out quickly.13．What can we learn about the Smile Ball?A．It never gives off a strong gas.B．It has a pretty look.C．It belongs to a new kind of fruit.D．It rarely goes bad.14．What’s mainly discussed in the last paragraph?A．How to produce tearfree onions.B．Tearless onions are more popular.C．The development of House Foods.D．People are sensitive to tearless onions.15．What can be the suitable title of the text?A．Say Goodbye to Regular OnionsB．Tearfree Onions vs Regular OnionsC．Onions That Don’t Make You CryD．The Future of Tearfree Onions第二节 (共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)按照短文内容，从短文后的选项当选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

A(2019·杭州一中模拟)Josh Morrison, 17, dreamed of raising $100，000 to build a home for a lowincome family. After years of hard work, his dream has come true. The house is now in the early stages of building.Six years ago, Josh and his dad went into a Habitat for Humanity Restore, a home improvement store and donation center run by the nonprofit organization. They were there to buy a sink. Josh, then 11, also noticed a collection of pennies. “I instantly felt the urge to help out with that，” he said. Josh set a fundraising(筹款) deadline of four years. Many people doubted whether he could reach his goal of $100，000, but it didn’t shake his faith. He raised money at his school and other nearby schools. He collected money from neighbors, got publicity from local newspapers, and placed cans in stores so that people could donate extra change.Josh’s fundraising efforts began to produce results. Still, there were challenges. Four months before his deadline, he was $30，000 short. He decided to hold a Family Fun Fair and Spaghetti Dinner event in Uxbridge, which is in the province of Ontario. The event raised $19，000.“I didn’t care how long it took me，” Josh said. “I would raise $100，000.” With three weeks left, a company called Josh’s house, offering to donate $18，000. Eventually, Josh reached a total of $124，000 before his deadline. “The__momentum__just__kept__going,__and we decided to do more，” he said. “J osh’s Penny House” is being built by Habitat for Humanity Restore in the city of Oshawa, along with 24 new townhouses. Josh has helped with some of the construction, as have other volunteers. He will choose the family that moves into the unit.Next year, the 17yearold wil l head to college in British Columbia, Canada’s westernmost province. As a 11yearold kid when starting fundraising, Josh was able to send a powerful message across the world. No matter how old you are, if you have a dream and are willing to do anything to achieve it, it can come true.1．Which word can best describe Josh Morrison in paragraph 2?A．Straightforward. B．Openminded.C．Determined. D．Cautious.2．What does the underlined sentence in paragraph 4 mean?A．His project became more popular.B．He received continuous donations.C．The result was beyond expectations.D．He got more support from the company.3．What will be the best title of the text?A．An Astonishing FundraiserB．A Boy with a Warm HeartC．Kindness from a CompanyD．The Penny House DreamBBritain faces social problems as lots of people are setto lose their jobs in technological revolution, the Bank ofEngland’s chief economist warned.Andy Haldane said the socalled Fourth Industrial Revolution will make the machine replace humans to do thinking things. The dark side of the change could be a much bigger breakdown of employment than in Victorian times, with professions such as accountancy(会计) among those at risk.A report by the accountancy firm PwC last month warned that more than7 million jobs in Britain would lose over the next 20 years as technological change sweeps through workplaces.The majority of these jobs are in the retail, transport and manufacturing industries. However, other traditional professional sectors could also be at serious risk.Economists treat the arrival of increasingly intelligent computers and robots as the Fourth Industrial Revolution. The first was the shift from agriculture to urban societies. The second saw the widespread use of electricity and steel, and the third was the digital revolution when computers, the Internet and mobile phones were developed.Mr.Haldane said the hollowingout(空洞化) experienced in the past years could be on a greater scale in the future, so it is important to learn the lessons of history and insure that people are given training to take advantage of new opportunities.“Jobs were effectively taken by machines of various types, and therewas a hollowingout of the job market, which left many people for a long period out of work and struggling to make a living，” Haldane added. “That heightened social and financial tensions, and led to a rise in inequality. This is the dark side of technological revolution.”“That hollowingout is going to be potentially on a much greater scale in the future, when we have machines thinking and doing the cognitive and technical skills of humans.” Mr. Haldane said professions like accountancy could be among those hardest hit by the rise of AI. But he suggested economists could escape.4．What is the dark side mentioned in the text?A．The hollowingout has become a major social problem.B．Less and less people have the desire to learn accountancy.C．Intelligent computers and robots decrease good workers.D．The technological revolution causes people to lose jobs.5．Why are economists the lucky dog in the new technological revolution?A．The study about economy is at a low level.B．Economists work on a traditional professional job.C．There is no machine that can work as an economist.D．Economists have the chance to avoid technological revolution.6．What attitude did Haldane have toward the future employment?A．Positive. B．Aggressive.C．Critical. D．Worried.CWe’re often reminded of the importance of preserving the planet as we see it for future generations—and children at St Oswald’s CE Primary School Chester certainly agree.Nineyearold Isobel Kelleher from the school’s Hummingbirds class thinks adults need to take note. “Sometimes they can be busy and I don’t think they think they can make a difference, but if everyone does a little bit it all adds up，” she tells HuffPost UK. “We started looking at plastic pollution in our oceans and the things like plastic bags that are polluting them，” she says. “Fish can eat the plastic and they can die, or we might even eat the fish ourselves.”Mr. Timms, Isobel’s teacher, has been spearheading a new project at the school which lets children loose creatively to raise awareness of the need to be more environmentally friendly. The entire Hummingbirds class, which is made up of 9and 10yearold pupils, has been busy writingpoems and creating online video advertisements to warn adults about the serious situation of our oceans and wildlife.Mr. Timms thinks children have an important role to play in teaching us how to take care of the things around us. “We sometimes overlook how much we can really learn from children，” he says. “It has been really hard to believe having parents come in saying that their children have been asking them to stop using plastic, and to recycle more, and even stopping them using plastic straws.”Mr. Timms is proud of his Hummingbirds class. “The message that they would like to send to the world is simple: stopping this isn’t someone else’s job, and it won’t be OK if we just leave it.”7．What can we infer about adults according to Isobel Kelleher?A．They just pretend to be busy.B．They haven’t done their part well.C．They can do nothing to stop pollution.D．They have started to care about the ocean.8．What is the purpose of the school project?A．To help adults to learn more about their kids.B．To remind adults to be friendly to the environment.C．To persuade students to stop using plastic bags.D．To teach students how to write poems creatively.9．Why does Mr. Timms mention parents in paragraph 4?A．To prove kids are creative in teaching.B．To attract people to support his work.C．To have adults care about education.D．To show the effects of the project.10．What is the text mainly about?A．An inspiring school project.B．An appeal to stop plastic bags.C．Serious situations of our planet.D．Adults’ ignorance of the environment.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(2019·浙江金丽衢十二校高三联考)Kevin, diagnosed with dyslexia(诵读困难症), rarely spoke a word in class, and if he did, it would be a “Yes”，“No”， or “Maybe” in response to questions. He always scored badly in tests and saw no hope for the future. That was until he met Sarah, an advisor at a youth center Kidpreneur.In 2012, Kevin attended a course called Ready Set Go in that center. The course was for disadvantaged kids in Kingswood—a lowincome area in Sydney’s western suburbs—and its goal was to teach the kids how to create businesses and offer value to the neighborhood.At the end of the course, Sarah took the kids to the local area. She asked volunteers to share their business experiences—Kevin immediately put up his hand. His challenge was to trade his hot dog selling service for free bread at a bakery. Although scared, Kevin was able to share his entrepreneurial story(创业故事) with the shop owner and asked if he could exchange his service for some bread. Unexpectedly, the shop owner told Kevin how moved he was by his story and handed him some bread for free. By the end of the afternoon, his belief in himself and what was possible was at an alltime high.The following week, Kevin sold 70 hot dogs in two hours and made over $200. Soon after, he delivered public speeches in 20 schools, and was selected as part of his school’s leadership team. Now he heads a business group working on how to increase the potential customer base.All of this would not have been possible if Kevin had not found his passion and perseverance to improve himself, and those around him. The guidance and trust of his advisor also helped to kindle his enthusiasm to go after his goals and dreams in life.1．What were the kids expected to achieve in the Ready Set Go course?A．To improve their test scores.B．To create a hot dog business.C．To teach in lowincome areas.D．To be beneficial to the local area.2．What does the underlined word“ki ndle”in the last paragraph probably mean?A．Inspire. B．Share.C．Continue. D．Express.3．What can be a suitable title for the text?A．On the Road to RecoveryB．Turning Failure into SuccessC．Growing Wealthy Through Hard WorkD．From Hopeless Youth to Business LeaderBFor six hundred years, the Tower of London’s mostexotic(异国风情的) prisoners were animals.The Royal Menagerie(动物园) began as a result of kings exchanging rare and strange animals as gifts.In 1235, Henry Ⅲ was delighted to be presented with three wildcats by the Holy Roman Emperor FrederickⅡ.These inspired him to start a zoo at the Tower.Henry’s“wildcats”，although described as leopards, were probably lions.These are the ancestors of the three lions that still appear on the England football team’s shirts today.In 1251 the lions were joined by a“white bear”probably a polar bear —given by the King of Norway.In 1255, the King of France sent the first elephant never seen in England and people flocked together to see the novel sight. Sadly, the elephant died in 1258.Poor treatment and cramped conditions meant many of the animals did not survive for long.But the Royal Menagerie continued to grow.Edward Ⅰ created a permanent new home for the Royal Menagerie at the western entrance to the Tower，which became known as the Lion Tower.The terrifying sounds and smells of wild animals must have both impressed and scared visitors.By 1622, the collection had been extended to include three eagles, two pumas, a tiger and a jackal, as well as lions and leopards, who were the main attractions.However, the end of the Royal Menagerie came in the 1830s. Campaigners had begun to raise concerns, and the animals were expensive, occasionally dangerous and a nuisance to the guardsmen.The Duke of Wellington sent 150 of the beasts to a new zoo in Regent’s Park, today’s London Zoo.Despite Alfred Cops’s best efforts to carry on，several further incidents including an escaped wolf and a monkey that bit a guardsman ’s leg convinced King William Ⅳ to shut down the Royal Menagerie for good in 1835.The remaining animals were sold to zoos and travelling shows and the Lion Tower was later demolished.4．What do we know about the elephant presented in 1255?A．It caused big trouble.B．It received much attention.C．It lived painfully in the Lion Tower.D．It died before the polar bear came in.5．How many types of animals at the Royal Menagerie are mentioned in the text?A．Eight. B．Nine.C．Ten. D．Eleven.6．Which is the best title for the text?A．The Royal MenagerieB．Gifts Presented to the KingC．Tourist Attractions in LondonD．Miserable Life in the Lion TowerCWe humans love to stare into our smart devices. We gaze for hours —about 10 hours and 39 minutes a day—at our computers, smartphones, tablets and televisions. Is all this staring bad for us? It might be, mainly because as we stare at our devices we are exposing ourselves to blue light.Blue light is a type of electromagnetic(电磁的) radiation with a very short wavelength that produces a high amou nt of energy. While it’s true that light can damage our eyes under certain circumstances, there’s no scientific evidence suggesting that blue light is harmful to our eyes. But many people still think it is, which is why bluelightblocking glasses are so popular. So do the glasses work?“Everyone is very concerned that blue light may be causing damage to the eye, but there’s no evidence that it may be causing serious damage，” Dr. Rahul Khurana, clinical spokesman for the American Academy of Ophthalmology, told Business Insider.Blue light exposure is nothing new. In fact, the sun is the largest source of blue light. Moreover, blue light is also present in LED light. But if blue light isn’t harmful, then why are we constantly rubbing our eyes when we’re looking at our screens? The answer is eyestrain(眼疲劳): More than 60 percent of people experience eye problems associated with digital eyestrain. And blue light, it seems, isn’t the cause. Instead, our eyes are so strained because most of us blink less when we stare at our digital devices. So if eyestrain is the issue, bluelight blocking glasses are probably of little use.7．What do we know about blue light?A．It is a kind of nuclear radiation.B．It has the shortest wavelength.C．It may come from electronic devices.D．It consumes a great deal of energy.8．What causes the popularity of bluelightblocking glasses?A．Evidence of their benefits to eyes.B．Belief in blue light’s harmful effect.C．Widespread use of smart devices.D．Scientific understanding of blue light.9．What can be inferred from paragraph 4?A．Blue light exposure is hardly avoidable.B．Eye problems are not easy to deal with.C．Blue light may connect with tired eyes.D．Rubbing eyes makes people strained.10．According to the text, wearing bluelightblocking glasses may be ________．A．tiring B．harmfulC．useless D．beneficial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。

You know the standard explanations: keeping a moderate diet, engaging in regular exercise, etc.But what effect does your personality have on your longevity? Do some kinds of personalities lead to longer lives?A new study in the Journal of the American Geriatrics Society looked at this question by examining the personality characteristics of 246 children of people who had lived to be at least 100.The study shows that those living the longest are more outgoing, more active and less neurotic(神经质的) than other people.Longliving women are also more likely to be sympathetic and cooperative than women with a normal life span.These findings are in agreement with what you would expect from the evolutionary theory: those who like to makefriends and help others can gather enough resources to make it through tough time.Interestingly, however, other characteristics that you might consider advantageous have no impact on whether study participants are likely to live longer.Those who are more selfdisciplined, for instance, are no more likely to live to be very old.Also, being open to new ideas have no relationship with long life，which might explain all those badtempered old people who are fixed in their ways.Whether you can successfully change your personality as an adult is the subject of a longstanding psychological debate.But the new paper suggests that if you want long life, you should strive to be as outgoing as possible.Unfortunately, another recent study shows that your mother’s personality may also help determine your longevity.That study looked at nearly 28，000 Norwegian mothers and found that those moms who were more anxious, depressed and angry were more likely to feed their kids unhealthy diets.Patterns of childhood eating can be hard to break when we’re adults, which may mean that kids of de pressed moms end up dying younger.Personality isn’t destiny, and everyone knows that individuals can learn to change.But both studies show that long life isn’t just a matter of your physical health but of your mental health.8．According to the author，outgoing and sympathetic people________．A．have a good understanding of evolutionB．are probably more active and neuroticC．are more likely to recover from hardshipD．generally appear more resourceful9．What finding of the study might be out of our expectation?A．Helpful people can live a relatively long life.B．Being selfdisciplined makes no difference to longevity.C．Readiness to accept new ideas offers more possibility to enjoy longevity.D．Personality characteristics that prove advantageous actually vary with times.10．What does the recent study of Norwegian mothers show?A．Mothers’ depression may affect their children’s life spans.B．People with unhealthy eating habits are likely to die at a young age.C．Mothers may have a longer influence on children than fathers.D．Children’s personality characteristics are always shaped by their mothers.11．What can we learn from the findings of the two new studies?A．Anxiety and depression more often than not cut short one’s life span.B．A person’s lifestyle is largely related to his or her health.C．Personality plays a decisive and significant role in how healthy one is.D．A mixture of mental and physical health produces longevity.D(2021·陕西宝鸡检测二)You may think that English speaking competitions are dominated by English majors, and that college students from other majors don’t stand a chance of winning.But this year’s China Daily“21st Century·CocaCola Cup” National English Speaking Competition provided strong evidence to the contrary.The competition drew to an end on March 20 at Beijing Foreign Studies University.None of the top three contestants were English majors.The grand champion, Zhu Xue, is a medical student from Shanghai Jiao Tong University.And the runnersup named Cai Yao from Beijing Foreign Studies University and Li Zehan from the Chinese University of Hong Kong are both law students.Chen Mengzhu from New York University Shanghai won the fourth place and will be heading to London in May to compete in the International Public Speaking Competition on behalf of China.And guess what? Chen is not an English major either.She is a science student, majoring in interactive media art.Their advantages may lie in the unique qualities and experiences that come with their majors.For example, Zhu managed to keep a cool head throughout the competition, a skill probably honed(磨炼) in her training as a medical student.She was even calm after she won the championship.Qu Weiguo, a Fudan University professor and one of the competition’s judges, believes it’s no surprise that students like Zhu surged(蜂拥而来) ahead.“English majors may be superior at their language skills, but they may lack the knowledge from other fields to support their speech and enrich their arguments，” he said.Throughout the past 20 years, contestants at the competition have transitioned(变迁) from focusing solely on language skills to placing more emphasis on the content of the speeches.12．The underlined word “dominated” in Paragraph 1 refers to“________”．A．permitted B．controlledC．hosted D．taught13．Who won the first place in the latest National English Speaking Competition?A．Chen Mengzhu from New York University Shanghai.B．Cai Yao from Beijing Foreign Studies University.C．Zhu Xue from Shanghai Jiao Tong University.D．Li Zehan from the Chinese University of Hong Kong.14．According to the passage, what should English major competitors pay more attention to in the future?A．The content of the speeches.B．A good command of English language.C．Skills of making a speech.D．A cool head.15．Which of the following shows the structure of the passage?CP：Central Point P：Point Sp：Subpoint(次要点) C：Conclusion第二节 (共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)依照短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

Maybe you feel comforted by the sound that someone has sent you a message?Don’t worry, you’re not alone.We check our phones an average of 150 times a day, and around 30% of the total time spent online is devoted to social media.Some experts now fearthis habit could be damaging our mental health.This is something particularly bothering young adults, according to a study from the University of Pittsburgh.It found the more they used social media, the more likely they were to be depressed(沮丧的)．In tests, those people who checked social media frequently were 2.7 times more likely to be depressed compared to those who spent most of their time generally surfing the Internet, who had just 1.7 times the risk.Some of us certainly feel sad when we’re ignored on social media sites, or when we see someone else having a better time than us.But depression is a more serious condition and clinical psychologist, Abigael San, recently told the BBC that, “It’s a real issue, and it’s been getting significantly worse over the last 56 years.You can get so hooked that it takes you away from your real relationships.” However, Abigael does admit that social media is more likely to worsen preexisting issues than directly cause them.Other research by the University of Glasgow found that teenagers are affected by the 24hour demands of their social media acc ounts.It found that those with higher levels of emotional investment in social media, and who use it at night, were more likely to feel depressed and anxious.Despite these warning signs, why do some of us continue to keep clicking？Well, I suppose we all want to be liked and we don’t want to miss out on a conversation that’s taking place online.But we need to know when to switch off our virtual(虚拟的) online world and connect with the real world instead.12．Who is more likely to be depressed according to the study?A．People checking social media frequently.B．People surfing the Internet regularly.C．People receiving a few “likes” for their posts.D．People longing for more messages.13．Why does the author give a quote from Abigael San in Para.4?A．To introduce the coming topic.B．To give a more supporting example.C．To stress the importance of social media.D．To explain the cause of a social media addict.14．Why do people get addicted to social media according to the author?A．Because they have more time and money.B．Because the virtual world is much more attractive.C．Because they want to attract more attention.D．Because emotional investment in social media benefits them.15．What’s the passage mainly about?A．It’s common for teenagers to be a social addict.B．Using smartphones does harm to people’s health.C．It’s better to stay away from virtual online world.D．Social media addiction contributes to depression.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(2019·杭州诊断)In American countryside, the message we hear is this: Go and get an education. Leave your small town and make something of yourself. Success and opportunity are found elsewhere.After graduating from a high school in Helena, Arkansas, I did go.I went to Colby College in Maine. I had visited the school ahead of time, so I knew what I was getting myself into. I knew about the difference in weather. I understood the difference in social atmosphere. But I wanted to stretch myself and get out of my comfort zone. And you know what? I absolutely loved my time there. But one thing took me by surprise —the lack of countryside representation. Most of the other students at Colby were from big cities: New York, Boston, Los Angeles, San Francisco...And when I had conversations with these students—in or outside of class—we almost always focused on topics facing large American cities. In my education classes, it was always “urban this”and “urban that”．It was like small town America didn’t exist.And this urban interest doesn’t just happen in college. I went to an education conference a couple of years ago, and a professor—someone who had been at the forefront of educational reform—was there to deliver a keynote. I was chosen to be part of a small group that got to meet with him. So there we were, five or six of us sitting in a room, and I asked him, “What are your thoughts on the state of education in the countryside？” And this man was speechless.I’ll never forget that moment. It speaks to a larger truth. Towns like mine are forgotten.This trend of exporting talent and resources to our big cities—this mindset of leaving small towns and never coming back—I don’t want to add to that movement. I want to reverse that movement.Now it’s my turn to help people younger than me. And you know what? I’m a sixth grade teacher in Helena now.1．What do people in American countryside think of the future of theyouth at home?A．Secure. B．Fragile.C．Promising. D．Bright.2．How would the author feel about the professor’s reaction?A．It’s emotional. B．It’s natural.C．It’s positive.

They don’t want to be seen as not pulling__their__weight or contributing 100%，” Bendersky says.“So while companies may be attracted to hiring extroverts because they impress managers greatly in job interviews, bosses also may want to consider whether the extrovert they are considering will be a valuable team player，” Bendersky says.Amy Jen Su and Muriel Maignan Wilkins, two writers, agree and say managers should recognize the strengths of introverted employees, such as their ability to put themselves in someone else’s shoes.“These team members are often easygoing, which can make themexceptional mentors to more junior staff or particularly good sounding boards when you interact with them in oneonone situations，” Su says.“Managers must try to help introverts find their voice，” Wilkins says. “Help them see that speaking up is not about selfpromotion or being in conflict but rather about offering the team key insights, making better decisions or increasing the efficiency for all.”What about those extroverts who never seem to be at a loss for words?
