While she doesn't miss homework, al school, she did enjoy getting to see my friends every day.”Matthew Dimmette, also fromGreensboro, used to be a homeschooler. He now attends public high school.

This parenting has become the most popular way to raise children, whatever the income, education, or race is.Julie, a teacher at Stanford, told the Times that “snowplow parenting” is not a reasonable approach. “The parents should prepare the kid for the road, instead of preparing the road for the kid,” she said.4.

But one family has survived four generations and hopes to continue long into the future. The year was 1933 when Ed VanderWal's father first stepped onto the farm. Now 80 years later, Ed carries the passion(热情) his father gave him for farming every daywhile working the fields on the family farm in Volga.“Well, I was in the first grade when my dad moved here to this farm and I grew up on the farm. And that's what I was interested in doing more,” Ed said. But that love of working the land didn't stop with Ed. He's passed it down to his six sons. Some of them run farms of their own now, but two of them, Scott and David, still work side by side with their dad every day.Some people might worry that working sun up to sun down with family seven days a week would lead to a few family spats(争吵). But for the VanderWals, the constant time together works just fine.“When families work together on a farm, it's a challenge at times getting along. Everyone has to pull their weight and do their share. And that, of course, transfers from one generation to the next,” Scott said.And while they all get along like any family, with good days and bad, it's tradition that keeps each generation teaching the next.“But we taught them to work with animals at a young age, like most farmers do. So it's nice to be able to pass that tradition onto the next generation,” Scott said.The youngest generation of the VanderWals, Ed's three grandsons and a granddaughter, all started learning farming techniques at a young age.8.

A Faming Family.B. A Successful Farmer.C. The Agricultural 'Tradition.D. The Agricultural Generation.DI had very good parents. My mother came toAmericafromScotlandby herself when she was 11, and she didn’t have much education. My dad was kind of a street kid, and he eventually went into the insurance business, selling nickel policies door to door.One day, my dad asked his boss, “What's the toughest market to sell?” and the insurance guy replied “Well, black people. They don’t buy insurance.” My dad thought, but they have kids; they have families. Why wouldn’t they buy insurance? So he said, “Give meHarlem.”When my dad died in 1994, I talked about him onThe Tonight Show. I told the story of how he worked in Harlem and how he always taught us to be open-minded and not to say or think things of racism (种族主义). Then one day, I got a letter from a woman who was about 75 years old.She wrote that when she was a little girl, a man used to come to her house to collect policies. She said this man was the only white person who had ever come to dinner at their house. The man was very kind to her, she said, and his name was Angelo—was this my father?The letter made me cry. I called her up and said yes, that was in fact my dad, and she told me how kind hehad been to her family. Her whole attitude toward white people was based on that one nice man she met in her childhood, who always treated her with kindness and respect and always gave her a piece of candy. From this experience, I learned a valuable life lesson: never judge people and be open-minded and kind to others.12. What did my father do after knowing what was the toughest market to sell?A.

2020-2021学年内蒙古集宁第一中学高三英语第三次联考试题及答案解析第一部分阅读（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项AI truly thought thatI might die that day. Had I not seen three bears and a few wolves over the last couple of days near the road, I might have just lain down and called it quits. What in the world was I thinking, dragging my bike up to Yellowstone and thinking I could ride from West Yellowstone to Old Faithful in the snow? No less!I had planned this trip for more than two months, and I wasn't about to give up so easily. The first few miles were beautiful. Ten miles in, I started sucking wind. Fifteen miles and my legs felt like they were made of lead. By twenty miles, my lungs were burning and felt like there was nothing left in the tank. That was when I turned around and saw my husband and three children cheering me on in the van behind me. I knew I couldn't quit because I tell my children all the time that just because something is hard doesn't mean that you stop doing it. I had to live what I'd been preaching(说教). That thought got me up that mountain and to the end of the ride.The importance of that ride was apparent after only a week. My eight-year-old daughter Emalee wanted to ride in a twelve-mile charity ride. That day was cold as well. She was the youngest rider. About four miles into the ride, she started feeling cold. The chill(寒冷)was making her muscles cramp a little and she began to struggle. By six miles, she had tears running down her face. It broke my heart to see her suffering like that.I told herthat she didn't have to finish. She said that she wouldn't quit. I told her how I had wanted to quit the week before, but perseverance had gotten me to the end and I knew she could do it, too.The look on her face as she pulled into the finish was priceless. She threw her arms around me and said, “You didn't quit, Mommy, so neither did I.”1. What motivated the author to finish her ride?A. Her family's encouragement.B. Her own instruction for children.C. The beautiful scenery and weather.D. The careful and thorough preparation.2. By describing the conditions Emalee met, the author wanted to________.A. show her guilt for her daughterB. prove that riding is a tough taskC. persuade her daughter to give upD. indicate she was proud of Emalee3. What does the author want to tell us according to the story?A. Never say die.B. Do nothing by halves.C. Children are what the mothers are.D. Every mother's child is handsome.BAs an old saying inChinagoes, “The days of the Sanjiu periodare the coldest days.” “Sanjiu period” , which is in Minor Cold, refers to the third nine-day period (the l9th to the 27th day) after the day of the Winter Solstice(冬至). There are many different customs related to Minor Cold inChina.Eating hotpotDuringMinor Cold people should eat some hot food to benefit the body and defend against the cold weather. Winter is the best time to have hotpot and braised mutton with soy sauce. But it is important to notice that too much spicy food may cause health problems.Eating huangyacaiInTianjin, there is a custom to have huangyacai, a kind of Chinese cabbage, during Minor Cold. There are large amounts of vitamins A and B in huangyacai. As huangyacai is fresh and tender, it is fit for frying, roasting and braising.Eating glutinous rice (糯米饭)According to tradition, the Cantonese eat glutinous rice in the morning during Minor Cold. Cantonese people add some fried preserved pork, sausages and peanuts and mix them into the rice.Eating vegetable riceIn ancient times, people inNanjingtook Minor Cold quite seriously, but as time went by, the celebration of Minor Cold gradually disappeared. However, the custom of eating vegetable rice is still followed today. The rice is steamed and is unspeakably delicious. Among the ingredients (原料), aijiaohuang (a kind of green vegetable), sausages and salted duck are the specialties in Nanjing.4. What do we know about Minor Cold?A. It refers to the Winter Solstice.B.

This text may be taken from the ________ column (栏目) of a newspaper.A. travelB. cultureC. fashionD. scienceCChinese paleontologists (古生物学家) have determined that, about 47 million years ago, subtropical forests once existed on the high-altitude Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.The conclusion, which appears in a paper published on Tuesday, was drawn based on the large number of fossils found in theBaingoinBasinat an altitude of nearly 5,000 meters during the second comprehensive scientific expedition to the plateau.A joint team from theXishuangbannaTropicalBotanical Gardenconducted the research on the fossils. By combining the findings and models, the team recreated the climate and altitude that existed 47 million years ago, showing that the central plateau had an altitude of just 1,500 meters and an annual average temperature of 19℃, says Su Tao, a researcher from the tropical botanical garden and first author of the paper.“It was covered by thick forest and was rich in water and grass. It is fair tocall it the ‘ShangriLa’ of ancient times,” Su adds.The researchers have also found over 70 plant fossils, the majority of which are most closely related to plant life in today's subtropical or tropical regions.“This is enough to show that the central part of the now high-altitude, freezing Qinghai-Tibet Plateau had flourishing subtropical plants 47 million years ago,” Su says.The findings provide new evidence for the study of the evolutionary history of biodiversity and the evolutionof the plateau's landscape, according to Zhou Zhekun, the paper's corresponding author and a researcher at the tropical botanical garden.Chinalaunched the second comprehensive scientific expedition to the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau in June 2017, 40 years after the first. Lasting up to 10 years, the expedition will conduct a series of studies focusing on the plateau's glaciers, its biodiversity and ecological changes, and will also monitor the changes in climate.8. How did the paper come to the conclusion?A. Through the observation of the Baingoin basin.B. Through the fossils found in scientific expedition.C. Through the drawing of a large number of fossils.D. Through the adventure on the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau.9. What can be inferred according to Su Tao?A. The average altitude of the plateau was 1,500 meters.B. “Shangrila”means a place with abundant water and grass.C. The flourishing subtropical plants have covered the plateau.D. The fossils found by researchers are tropical or subtropical plants now.10. Where might the passage come from?A. The Times.B. The Wall Street Journal.C. Chinese National Geography.D. The Economist.11. What is the purpose of the passage?A. To instruct.B. To educate.C. To persuade.D. To inform.DHappiness is not a warm phone, according to anew study exploring the link between young life satisfaction and screen time. The study was led by professor of psychology Jean M. Twenge at San Diego State University (SDSU).To research this link, Twenge, along with colleagues Gabrielle Martin at SDSU and W. Keith Campbell at the University of Georgia, dealt with data from the Monitoring the Future (MtF) study, a nationally representative survey of more than a million U. S. 8th-, 10th-, and 12th-graders. The survey asked students questions about how often they spent time on their Phones, tablets and computers, as well as questions about their face-to-face social interactions and their overall happiness.On average found that teens who spent more time in front of screen devices — playing computer games, using social media, texting and video chatting — were less happy than those who invested more time in non-screen activities like sports, reading newspapers and magazines, and face-to-face social interactions."The key to digital media use and happiness is limited use," Twenge said. "Aim to spend no more than two hours a day on digital media, and try to increase the amount of time you spend seeing friends face-to-face and exercising — two activities reliably linked to greater happiness."Looking at historical trends from the same age groups since the 1990s, it's easy to find that the increase of screen devices over time happened at the same time as a general drop-off in reported happiness inU. S.teens. Specifically, young peopled life satisfaction and happiness declined sharply after 2012. That's the year when the percentage of Americans who owned a smartphone rose above 50 percent. By far the largest change in teens' lives between 2012 and 2016 was the increase in the amount of time they spent on digital media, and the following decline in in-person social activities and sleep.12. Which method did Twenge's team use for the study?A. Calculating students' happiness.B. Asking students certain questions.C. Analyzing data from a survey.D. Doing experiments on screen time.13. How does the author develop the finding of the study in paragraph 3?A. By making a comparison.B. By giving an example.C. By making an argument.D. By introducing a concept.14.

It's time to get up!" my mother said while she was pushing me. I opened my eyes and looked at the clock. "Oh, dear! It's a quarter to eight already. I'll be late for school again," I thought. I jumped out of the bed, washed my face, and then hurried to the bus stop without breakfast. As soon as I got on the bus, it started running. "I'm sure I can get to the school on time," I said to myself. Suddenly the bus stopped. The bus driver got off the bus, then got on the bus again and said, "I'm sorry, ladies and gentlemen. There's something wrong with the bus. Please get off the bus and wait for another one." "I couldn't wait. The school is not far. I'd better run to the school," I thought, and then I began to run. But before I got to the school, it began to rain hard.I reached the classroom but I was wet with cold. The physics teacher had already begun his lesson. It was Mr. Smith. He was about fifty years old. All the students were a little afraid of him and so was I. I liked neither him nor his physics lessons.I hesitated for a moment and then I opened the door. "I'm very sorry, Mr. Smith. I'm late again," I said with a red face."It's you again, Jim," Mr. Smith said angrily. "I've told you not be late, but you…" he suddenly stopped and looked at my wet clothes. He turned to the class and said, "I'm very sorry, my boys and girls." With these words he quickly took off his own jacket and handed it to me. "Now take off your wet coat and put this one or you'll catch cold," he said kindly.I went to my seat with Mr. Smith's jacket on. It was a bit large for me but I felt very warm in it. I found, for the first time, physics was so interesting and how well I could understand it!36. Jim was late for school because _______.A. he got up too lateB. there was something wrong with the busC. it rained heavilyD. he had to wait for the bus37.

Jim felt that _______.A. the jacket was large enough to keep him warmB. Mr. Smith took good care of himC. he understood what Mr. Smith said all the timeD. physics isn’t easy even if you like the physics teachers39. From the story, we can learn that _______.A. students can't be late for schoolB. students can learn better if teachers love themC. physics is easy if you like the physics teachersD. you'll catch cold if your clothes are wetBSome call it Petra. Others call it Black Peter. But everyone in Germany agreeson one thing — Petra or Black Peter is an unusual black swan (天鹅).The story begins when Petra or Black Peter fell in love with a pedal boat shapedlike a swan. This happened at Aesee Lake in Munster City. The black swan had been brought to the lake last year. It was an attraction, as the swans in Germany are white.Soon the bird started circling the white pedal boat. It would stare long at it and make soft noises. It would also hoot (鸣叫) angrily at whoever came near the boat, fearing they would harm it. Biologists say this is how swans in love behave.As the lake froze in winter, the black swan refused to do what it is supposed todo — move to where rivers and lakes are not frozen, so it could find food. There was no way the pedal boat could fly with it. If the swan had remained on the frozen lake, death would have been its only end. Luckily, officials of the local zoo made space for the black swan and its beloved pedal boat in a sheltered pond.Winter has ended and the couple are back on Aesee Lake. The number of people who want to have a picnic on the lake has risen greatly. In this German city when people think of charming love stories, they now think of the black swan.But the biologists are worried. Swans are known to choose only one partner in their lifetime. But they hope that this Australian bird falls in love again with a real swan so it can have a family life.40. The black swan was brought to Aesee Lake for the purpose of ________.A. offering it a better and more comfortable lifeB. attracting more people tothe lakeC. letting Germans know about another kind of swanD. helping it find a suitable partner41.

When cold winter comes, the usual thing for swans to do is to __________.A. find enough food for the winterB. stay in a warm sheltered placeC. turn to humans for helpD. fly to an area with warmer weather43. What’s the best title of the passage?A. Australian black swan settles in Germany.B. Black swan falls in love with a pedal boat.C. The fate of a black swan worries German people.D. A love story between two swans.CMore than half of Beijing’s adult single children don’t want to have two kids, even though the national policy (政策) allows them to do so.The country’s family planning policy of the late 1970s restricted (限制) urban families from having more than one child to control population growth. However, a new survey shows 52 percent of those now-grown-up single children, who are allowedto have two children, do not want a second child.Beijing has about 2 million only-child adults. More than 1,100 people from only-child families, aging 20 to 34, were polled (对……进行民意测验). Only 24 percent of them said they would like to have two children. More than a quarter of them would choose a “DINK” (丁克) lifestyle. Survey figures showed that people with a basic education wanted 1.1 children on average, those with a bachelor degree wanted 1.3, and those with masters or higher degrees wanted 1.5 children.“Beijing has had a super low birth rate — less than 1.3 children in a family on average for nearly 20 years, causing increa sing pressure on the country’s aging population,” Hou Yafei, a professor with the institute, said. Hou said that the top four factors that determined people’s desires to have children were “income, child care, housing and policy conditions”. “The governmen t should encourage couples from one-child families to have a second child and should provide better welfare services,” Hou said.The survey also found that people with higher education backgrounds want to have more children because they are more confident about their future.To promote a higher population growth rate, some provincial governments have relaxed rules and allowed more people to have more than one child. In Shanghai, the death rate has exceeded（超过） the birth rate for more than 10 years, and less than 30 percent of only-child couples have had a second child.44. What is this passage mainly about?A. The country’s family planning policy should be stopped.B. Most Beijing only-child couples just want one child.C. Beijing has kept a super low birth rate for 20 years.D. The government allows people to have more than one child.45. According to Hou Yafei, which of the following is NOT one of the top factors which determine if people want to have children?A. Income.B. Child care.C. Housing conditions.D. Schooling policy.46. In Beijing, more than _______ only-child adults want to have a “DINK” lifestyle.A. 200,000B. 300,000C. 400,000D. 500,00047. Which of these statements is FASLE according to the passage?A. A large number of people in Beijing don’t want kids.B. In Shanghai, the death rate is higher than the birth rate.C. People with higher education backgrounds want one kid at most.D. The country’s family planning policy aims to restrict the national population.DHaving friends, and finding new friendships is an important developmental task for preteens and teens. While they have learned to play well with others during their childhood, developing independent friendships is a different thing. Preteens and teens will be allowed to use their own resources to decide whether to be someone’s friend or not, instead of being taught by their parents. Parents must give their teenagers some freedom in choosing who they want to hang out with.You can help your teens to choose their friends, although it’s your teenagerswho make the ultimate decision. You can use teachable moments to talk about what makes a good friend. Here are some points to remember when you talk about friendships with your teenagers:1. You are allowed to have many friends;2. Honesty is important in a friendship;3. Friends sometimes hurt each other, but they can apologize and forgive;4. Friends can influence each other, not only in a positive way but also in a negative way;5. Who you choose to be your friend is important, so choose wisely;6. It takes many learned skills to make and keep a friendship, and it also takes many skills to end a friendship;7. It is okay and even beneficial to make friends with the opposite gender;8. It takes time to make a good friend, but it is worth the effort;9. Spending time together will help you get to know your friends well and you will feel comfortable sharing feelings;10. A good friendship will make you feel good about yourself.48. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the first paragraph?A. Whether a teen has friends or not is unimportant.B. Teens should only play with the friends chosen by their parents.C. Teens should have no freedom in choosing friends.D. It’s important to learn to develop new friendships during teens.49. The passage is written for _____.A. teensB. preteensC. parentsD. teachers50. According to the 10 points, all the following statements are wrong EXCEPT that _____.A. we should have as few friends as possibleB. a good friend is someone who will never hurt youC. friends will only influence you in a positive wayD. skills are needed to keep a friendship第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，共10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

The audience leaned forward and a period of silence fell across the room. I felt the drum rolled in my heart.The third-place winner was announced. The name was not mine. Then the second-place winner, still not me. At last, the moment of truth came. I was about to either enjoy the warmth of victory or regret the months’ preparation. My heart felt closer to the latter.Losing is a part of life, and I have dealt with it on more than one occasion. However, it was an indescribable feeling to drive a 200-mile round trip, get up very early on a freezing Saturday morning, and yet still finish fourth out of four competitors in my group. After Lincoln lost the 1858 Illinois Senate race, he said, “I felt like the 12-year-old boy who kicked his toe. I was too big to cry and it hurt too bad to laugh.” Oh yeah, I could relate.I had spent many hours in front of a computer and in libraries doing research for the Lincoln Bicentennial Speech Contest. After not placing in the first year of the contest, I really wanted to compete again. Lincoln had many failures, but he never allowed them to defeat his spirit or ambition, so I was not going to give up on a second contest! I reworked my speech for the following year, but again I did not place.I couldn’t accept the fact that I failed twice in something that I had worked so hard on, until I thought about my hero. Never mind the lost prize money and praise—through learning stories about Lincoln, I discovered that I can fail successfully.4. How did the author feel after finishing his speech?A. Delighted.B. Annoyed.C. Thrilled.D. Nervous.5. What can be inferred from Paragraph 3?A. He was regretful about his not being fully prepared.B. He felt upset for getting up early on a chilly morning.C.

He was eager to prove himself to be the best contestant.B. He was inspired by the never-give-up spirit of Lincoln.C. He was willing to enjoy the warmth and joy of victory.D. He was determined to win the prize money and praise.7. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A. A memorable hero in my lifeB. Never mind others’ judgmentsC. Losing is an indescribable feelingD. Stand up from where we tripped overCNostalgia (怀旧) has become increasingly common in our current climate of accelerated, unexpected change. More and more Americans are turning back with longing towhat feels like simpler, sweeter times. They collect cassette tapes, manual typewriters even decades-old video games.Is it a mistake to get too obsessed with the past? Some psychologists warn that too much devotion to the so-called good old days is an escape from reality; it can indicate loneliness or that a person is having a difficult time coping in the present. Psychologist Stephanie Coontz argues that nostalgia distracts us from addressing the problems of modern life and contribute to anxiety, depression , insomnia etc.But new studies suggest that a modest dose of nostalgia is not only harmless, but actually beneficial. They suggest it helps strengthen our sense of identity and makes us feel more optimistic and inspired. It is also a tool for self — discovery and memories are a psychological immune response that is triggered when you want to take a break from negativity. Interestingly, those happy memories can be particularly beneficial both to kids in their teens and to society's elders. Recalling our childhood reminds us of “the times when we were accepted and loved unconditionally," says Krystine Batcho, a psychologist. "That is such a powerfully comforting phenomenon, knowing that there was a time in life when we didn't have to earn our love." Nostalgia can transform even the most ordinary past into legends which warms the heart and the body. Let's not forget that nostalgia has been a source of inspiration to innumerable American writers. Mark Twain recalled his boyhood, writing, "after all these years, I can picture that old time to myself now, just as it was then：The white town drowsing in the sunshine of a summer's morning."So go ahead, daydream a little about your best childhood friend, your first car, a long - gone family pct. As Dr. Sedikidessays，"Nostalgia is ly central to human experience. "But at the same time, keep these words of wisdom from the great inventor Charles Kettering in mind as well："You can't have a better tomorrow if you are thinking about yesterday all the time. "38. What did some psychologists in paragraph 2 probably agree?A. Nostalgia will cause some mental problems.B. Nostalgia makes us devoted to the good old days.C. Nostalgia shows you are trying to get rid of loneliness.D. Nostalgia helps us cope with the difficult time we are going through.9. There are many benefits of nostalgia except ________A. It can enable us to know ourselves better.B. It can bring us some comfort when we recall.C. We are likely to gain attention if we recall the happy childhood.D. We can sometimes break away from negativity with happy memories.10. What will be talked about in the following paragraph?A. The bad influence of too much devotion to nostalgia.B. The reasons why we should avoid nostalgia.C. The bad memories that always stick around you.D. The great changes nostalgia will bring to you.11. What's the best title of the passage?A. We all have a soft spot for nostalgia.B. Nostalgia is actually good for you.C. Don't be carried away by nostalgia.D. There are many times when we like to recall.DJack was born without eyes. He was very lucky as he grew up having other kittens (young cats) to socialize (交往)with, and was used to people from the moment he was born. However, when it came time to find the kittens homes, no one knew where Jack would end up.That’s when I got an e-mail from my friend. All she asked was “Do you still want one of the kittens? There’s one here with no eyes and no one would like to take him”. Without thinking I told her that I did want the kitten.When we first brought him home, Jack stayed mostly in my room. After about a day he had noissues running around and climbing on everything. At times he gets lost in the house, he’ll stop. But we just call his name and talk to him and it isn’t long before he finds his way back to us.A few weeks after getting Jack, we got a new cat named Bear. Jack and Bear have become best friends. It doesn’t matter that he can’t see. He always knows when Bear is around. He’ll run across the yard straight to Bear and wrap his front legs around his neck in a big hug. They run after each other around and wrestle (摔跤). They’lllie down in the grass together when tired.Jack is truly an inspiration. I’ve owned lots of kittens in my life, but Jack is the happiest and most playful. He doesn’t feel sorry for himself. He doesn’t need pity. I think Jean, owner of Gumbo, another eyeless cat, said it best when she told me that cats don’t have disabilities; they have adaptability.12. Why did Jack come to the author’s home?A. The author cared for an eyeless cat.B. The author didn’t mind whether he was blind.C. No other young cats kept him company.D. The author’s friend begged the author to take him home.13. Which of the following statements is TRUE?A. Jack often wrestles with Bear indoors.B. Jack likes to play with a new eyeless cat.C. Jack quickly adapts to the new environment.D. Jack is good at talking and playing with people.14. What does the underlined word “issue” in Paragraph 3 mean?A. Trouble.B. Fun.C. Luck.D. Business.15. What does the passage mainly tell us?A. A cat has nine lives.B. All is well that ends well.C. God helps those who help themselves.D. A good beginning makes a good ending.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

Business people, political leaders,university professors, and especially millions of grass-roots Americans are taking part in the movement. ―The u nderstanding has increased many, many times,‖says Gaylord Nelson,the fromer govermor from Wisconsin, who thought up the first Earth Day.According to US government reports , emissions (排放)from cars and trucks have dropped from 10.3 million tons a year to 5.5 tons .The number of cities producing CO beyond the standard has been reduced from 40 to 9 .Although serious problems still remainand need to be dealt with, the world is a safer and healthier place .A kind of ―Green thinking ‖ has become part of practices .Great improvement has been achieved .In 1988 there were only 600 recycling programs ; today in 1995 there are about 6,600 .Advanced lights ,motors , and building designs have helped save a lot of energy and therefore prevented pollution .Twenty –five years ago , there were hardly any education programs for environment .Today , it’s hard to find a public school , university , or law school that does not have such a kind of progra m .‖ Until we do that, nothing else wi ll change! ‖ say Bruce Anderson.5.

Au Pair in Stamford, for example, has got increasing numbers of requests for Chinese au pairs from zero to around 4,000 since 2004. And that’s true all across the country.―I thought it would be very useful for him to learn Chinese at an early age‖ Joseph Stocke, the managing director of a company, says of his 2-year old son. ―I would at least like to give him the chance to use the language in the future,‖ After only six months of being cared for by a 25-year-old woman from China, the boy can already understand basic Chinese daily expressions, his dad says.Li Drake, a Chinese native raising two children in Minnesota with an American husband, had another reason for looking for an au pair from China. She didn’t want her children to miss out on their roots.‖ Because I am Chinese, my husband and I wanted thechildren to keep exposed to(接触) the language and culture.‖ she says.―Staying with a native speaker is better for children than simply sitting in a classro om,‖ says Suzanne Flynn, a professor in language education of Children.‖But parents must understand that just one year with au pair is unlikely to produce wonders. Complete mastery demands continued learning until the age of 10 or 12.‖The popularity of au pairs from china has been strengthened by the increasing numbers of American parents who want their children to learn Chinese. It is expected that American demand for au pairs will continue to rise in the next few years.9.What does that term‖ au pair‖ in the text mean?A. A mother raising her children on her ownB. A child learning a foreign language at homeC. A professor in language education of childrenD. A young foreign woman taking care of children.10. Li Drake has her children study Chinese because she wants them ______.A. to live in China some dayB. to speak the language at homeC. to catch up with other childrenD. to learn about the Chinese culture11.

Schools closed and graduation ceremonies were put off. Summer plans, such as camps, are up in the air.But right now, many students are trying to stay connected, struggling with false information, and finding out the best ways they can help – through online method.For Josh Harycki, 17, a senior student at the Shipley School in Philadelphia, the best way to help was to create a “social distancing promise” for young people.“I saw a lot of young people not paying attention,” he said. “They were … still go ing out,hanging out with others. I thought that there had to be a way to reach younger people, who were possibly not watching the news.”Harycki started a call to action on social media and then built a website with a map that followed and kept the locati ons of people who’d signed the promise. The site also shares links to accurate sources of information like the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.Harycki knows that his peers are worried they can’t connect with their friends in the same way, so he created the social distancing promise to strengthen that although everyone might be physically distant, they’re still connected.“Part of what we’re showing is that you might feel like you’re the only one taking this seriously, but our map shows that y ou’re not alone,” he said.4. What does the underlined word “jarring” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?A. naturalB. necessaryC. worryingD. reasonable5. Who does Harycki mainly want to reach?A. Friends who are worried and bored.B. Young people not aware of the situation.C. Younger students trying to help.D. People taking the coronavirus seriously.6. What’s Harycki’s purpose in creating the “social distancing promise”?A. To order young people to stay at home.B. To follow those infected with the coronavirus.C. To tell young folks of latest news about the coronavirus.D. To show young people that they are still connected.7. Why does the author describe Andrew Chen’s experience in the text?A. To explain what worried students most when schools closed.B. To show the different views of students toward the coronavirus.C. To show how the coronavirus affected students’ lives.D. To explain the proper reaction to the close of school.CSpring is coming, and it is time for those about to graduate to look for jobs. Competition is tough, so job seekers must carefully consider their personal choices. Whatever we are wearing，our family and friends may accept us, but the workplace may not.A high school newspaper editor said it is unfair for companies to discourage visible tattoos (纹身）, nose rings, or certain dress styles. It is true you can’t judge a book by its cover, yet people do “cover” themselves in order to convey certain messages. What we wear, including tattoos and nose rings, is an expression of who we are. Just as people convey messages about themselves with their appearances, so do companies. Dress standards exist in the business world for a number of reasons, but the main concern is often about what customers accept.Others may say how to dress is a matter of personal freedom, but for businesses it is more about whether to make or lose money. Most employers do care about the personal appearances of their employees, because those people represent the companies to their customers.As a hiring manager, I am paid to choose the people who would make the best impression on our customers. There are plenty of well-qualified candidates ( 候选人), so it is not wrong to reject ( 拒绝) someone who might disappoint my customers. Even though I am open-minded, I can’t expect all our customers are.There is nobody to blame but yourself if your set of choices does not match that of your preferred employer. No company should have to change to satisfy a candidate simply because he or she is unwilling to respect its standards, as long as its standards are legal.8. According to Paragraph 2, which of the following is the newspaper editor’s opinion?A. People’s appearances carry messages about themselves.B. Customers’ choices influence dress standards in compan ies.C. Candidates with tattoos or nose rings should be fairly treated.D. Strange dress styles should not be encouraged in the workplace.9. What can be inferred from the text?A.Candidates have to wear what companies prefer for an interview.B. What to wear is not a matter of personal choice for companies.panies sometimes have to change to respect their candidates.D. Hiring managers make the best impression on their candidates.10. Which of the following would be the best title for the text?A. Employees MatterB. Personal Choices MatterC. Appearances MatterD. Hiring Managers Matter11. The author’s attitude towards strange dress styles in the workplace may best be described as _________ .A. enthusiasticB. negativeC. positiveD. sympatheticDThey say music is universal, and it seems to be true since wherever we go, we see people listening, playing or dancing to it. We tend to think that music is larger than our cultural differences and shows the deeper connections between us.But according to a recent study published in the journal Current Biology, music doesn’t speak to everyone. There is a condition, the researchers argue, called “musical anhedonia”. They say that those who have this condition lack the ability to experience pleasure from music.For the study, 30 people listened to the same, mostly classical music pieces. They were then asked to complete a questionnaire on how they felt about the music. At the same time, the researchers measured their heart rate and skin reaction, which are considered physiological measures of emotion.According to the researchers, most of the people in the study got pleasure from the music. They had a quicker heartbeat and sweated more. However, a small number had very little and even no pleasant feeling while they listened. These people had none or very few of the physical signs the others in the study experienced.The researchers say that this means people have different abilities to enjoy music and that “there are people who specifically can’t enjoy music at all”, study author Josep Marco-Pallres of the University of Barcelona in Spain told Live Science.To study the condition further, another group of scientists, at Columbia University, US, researched brain activities. They found that the key is the blood flow to the reward system in the brain.“People who got less pleasure from music had lower blood flow to areas involved in the reward system of the brain when listening to music,” reported the Daily Mail.The lower blood flow makes it more likely that the brain’s “reward system” will not be active. Thus, it will produce less of the “pleasure chemical” dopamine. As a result, people getless pleasure from music.If the research is correct, according to National Public Radio, there are simply people who just don’t get music. They may get pleasure from many things, but a good song isn’t one of them.12. What do we know about people with “ musical anhedonia ”?A. They usually avoid listening to music.B. They like to listen to certain types of music.C. They believe cultural differences are larger than music.D. They can’t feel the pleasure that music brings to others.13. What was the purpose of the study?A. To learn how music influences people’s emotions.B. To understand the relationship between music and the body.C. To learn what music people love the most.D. To see whether music works in the same way for all people.14. What happened to the participants when they listened to music?A. Those who enjoyed music had more dopamine produced.B. Those who enjoyed music had slower blood flow.C. All of them had faster heartbeat and sweated more.D. They showed different physical signs as the music changed.15. Which is the best title of this passage?A. How people get pleasure from music?B. Why music isn’t for everyone?C. What brain produces with music?D. A new research of listening.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。

We lived in a small house behind the high school in Alton. One day my dad took our pictures, mud cakes and all.My dad took a lot of pictures with his blue Kodak camera. He developed the pictures himself in our basement. I remember helping him. All the lights had to be turned out while we transferred the negatives from one pan to the other. It was a lot of fun for a small boy.My dad often came home from work for lunch. I suppose it was a way to save money since it was during the depression. While he was eating lunch one day I drove nails into three of his tires. Not too long after he left to return to work he called home saying that he had just pulled into a service station with a flat tire, only to find out he had three flat tires.When my dad questioned me about the flat tires I said，“When you had a flat tire last time, and you were pumping it up with air, and I wanted to help, you said the next time you had a flat tire you would let me pump it up.”These memories are from my short life before I was in the first grade. I know this for sure, because one day right before my sixth birthday my mother told me that I was going to sleep with my dad that night. She said we were going away. I didn't know what all that meant. I remember my dad breathed deeply in his sleep and snored a little. The next day we moved in with my grandparents in another town.I missed doing these things with my dad.36．We know from the passage that the author's dad________.A．was quite strict with him B．was very kind to himC．didn't love him enough D．liked to play with him37．Why did the author drive nails into the tires of his father's car?A．He hated his father.B．He didn't want his father to leave him alone.C．He wanted to play a trick on his father.D．He wanted to try pumping.38．The author's father probably ________when he knew his son made the tires flat. A．gave him a good beating B．let him pump them upC．did nothing harmful to him D．got angry with him39．What could be the reason why the author moved to live in another town? A．His father didn't like him anymore.B．His father found another job in that town.C．His parents got divorced.D．His father couldn't support the family any more.40．The purpose of the author is to tell us________.A．the happy times he had with his fatherB．how happy a childhood he hadC．he hated his parents' divorceD．the role a father played in his son's lifeBA mother from Colorado who doctors said had died while giving birth to her son, has said it is a Christmas miracle that both she and the boy are alive.Tracey Hermanstorfer's heart stopped beating and her son Coltyn appeared lifeless after the Caesarean (剖腹产术) section on Christmas Eve. However a few minutes after he was born, both began breathing again. Dr Stephanie Martin told Good Morning America she could not explain how the pair survived. Mrs. Hermanstorfer and her husband Mike told the American television show that their baby was now healthy and that they were doing “good” following the drama at Colorado Springs Memorial Hospital.The couple, who already had two children, had to go into the hospital seven weeks earlier than planned. Her husband, 37, said his wife was tired after receiving an epidural (硬脑膜外麻醉) during the labour (分娩) but after closing her eyes, she “wasn't waking up”. She stopped breathing and she is believed to have suffered a heart attack before her heart stopped beating entirely.Dr Martin said she was called in and that the outlook was grim since in most situations like this, “despite the best efforts of the team”, the mother was often unable to be revived. In that case doctors then tried to focus on delivering the baby but when he was born he was “completely lifeless”.Mr. Hermanstorfer told the Associated Press news agency, “I had everything in the world taken from me, and in an hour and a half I had everything given to me.”Dr Martin said she did not have a “great explanation”for why Mrs. Hermanstorfer's heartbeat returned. “Somewhere between four and five minutes she had been without heart rate and had stopped breathing a minute or two prior to her heart stopping,” she said. The doctors were then able to bring the baby back to life, and the mother was alive after that.Despite tests, she said doctors were still not sure about what had happened. However Mrs. Hermanstorfer and her husband Mike have said they believed it was down to a miracle. She said: “I got a second chance in life.”41．The story happened on________.A．December, 24 B．December, 25 C．December, 31 D．January, 1 42．What might have happened to Tracey Hermanstorfer just before her heart stopped beating?A．She became unconscious.

集宁一中东校区2015-2016学年第一学期第三次月考高三年级英语试题本试卷满分为120分，考试时间为100分钟。

第一卷 (选择题共70分)第一部分：阅读理解（共2节，满分40分）第一节：阅读理解（共15小题；每题2分，共30分）AWhen the dog named Judy spotted the first sheep in her life, she did what comes naturally. The four-year-old dog set off racing after the sheep across several fields and, being a city animal, lost both her sheep and her sense of direction. Then she ran along the edge of a cliff( 悬崖) and fell 100 feet, bouncing off a rock into the sea.Her owner Mike Holden panicked and called the coastguard of Cornwall, who turned up in seconds. Six volunteers slid down the cliff with the help of a rope but gave up all hope of finding her alive after a 90-minute search.Three days later, a hurricane hit the coast near Cornwall. Mr. Holden returned home from his holiday upset and convinced his pet was dead. He comforted himself with the thought she had died in the most beautiful part of the country.For the next two weeks, the Holdens were heartbroken. Then, one day, the phone rang and Steve Tregear, the coastguard of Cornwall, asked Holder if he would like his dog back.A birdwatcher, armed with a telescope, found the pet sitting desperately on a rock. While he sounded the alarm, a student from Leeds climbed down the cliff to collect Judy. The dog had initially been knocked unconscious(失去知觉的)but had survived by drinking water from a fresh scream at the base of the cliff. She may have fed on the body of a sheep which had also fallen over the edge. “The dog was very thin and hungry,” Steve Tre gear said, “It was a very lucky dog. She survived because of a plentiful supply of fresh water,” he added.It was, as Mr. Holden admitted, “a minor miracle (奇迹)”.1. The dog Jody fell down the cliff when she was_______ .A. rescuing her ownerB. caught in a hurricaneC. blocked by a rockD. running after a sheep2. Who spotted Judy after the accident?A. A birdwatcherB. A student from LeedsC. Six volunteersD. The coastguard of Cornwall3. What c an we infer from the text?A. People like to travel with their pets.B. Judy was taken to the fields for hunting.C. Luck plays a vital role in Judy’s survival.D. Holden cared little where Judy was buried.4. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A. Miracle of the Coastguard.B. Surviving a Hurricane.C. Dangers in the WildD. Coming Back from the Dead.BLife can be so wonderful, full of adventure and joy. It can also be full of challenges, setbacks and heartbreaks. Whatever our circumstances, we generally still have dreams, hopes and desires—that little something more we want for ourselves and our loved ones. Yet knowing we can have more can also create a problem, because when we go to change the way we do things, up come the old patterns and pitfalls (陷阱) that stopped us from seeking what we wanted in the first place.This tension between what we feel we can have and "what were seemingly able to have is the niggling（烦人的）suffering, the anxiety we feel. This is where we usually think it’s easier to just give up. But we’re never meant to let go of the part of us that knows we can have more. The intelligence behind that knowing is us—the real us. It’s the part that believes in life and its possibilities. If you drop that, you begin to feel a little “dead” inside because you're dropping“you”.So, if we have this capability but somehow life seems to keep us stuck, how do we break these patterns?Decide on a new course and make one decision at a time. This is good advice for a new adventure or just getting through today’s challenges.While, deep down, we know we can do it, our mind—or the minds of those close to us—usually says we can’t.That isn’t a reason to stop, it’s just the mind, that little man or woman on your shoulder, trying to talk you out of something again. It has done it many times before. It’s all about starting simple and doing it now.Decide and act before overthinking. When you do this you may feel a little, or large, release from the jail of your mind and you’ll be on your way.5. It can be inferred from the first two paragraphs that we should .A. slow down and live a simple lifeB. be careful when we choose to changeC. sti ck to our dreams under any circumstancesD. be content with what we already have6. What is the key to breaking the old patterns?A. To focus on every detail.B. To decide and take immediate action.C. To listen to those close to us.D. To think twice before we act.7. Which of t he following best explains the underlined part in the last paragraph?A. Escape from your punishmentB. Realization of your dreams.C. Freedom from your tension.D. Reduction of your expectations.8. What does the author intend to tell us?A. It’s easie r than we think to get what we want.B. It’s important to learn to accept sufferings in life.C. It’s impractical to change our way of thinking.D. It’s harder than we expect to follow a new course.CFood serves as a form of communication in two fundamental ways. Sharing bread or other foods is a common human tradition that can promote unity and trust. Food can also have a specific meaning, and play a significant role in a family or culture’s celebrations or traditions. The foods we eat—and when and how we eat them—are often unique to a particular culture or may even differ between rural (农村的) and urban areas within one country.Sharing bread, whether during a special occasion (时刻) or at the family dinner table, is a common symbol of togetherness. Many cultures also celebrate birthdays and marriages with cakes that are cut and shared among the guests. Early forms of cake were simply a kind of bread, so this tradition hits its roots in the custom of sharing bread.Food also plays an important role in many New Year celebrations. In the southern United States, pieces of corn bread represent blocks of gold for prosperity (兴旺) in the New Year. In Greece, people share a special cake called vasilopita. A coin is put into the cake, which signifies (预示) success in the New Year for the person who receives it.Many cultures have ceremonies to celebrate the birth of a child, and food can play a significant role. In China, when a baby is one month old, families name and welcome their child in a celebration that includes giving red-colored eggs to guests. In many cultures,round foods such as grapes, bread, and moon cakes are eaten at welcome celebrations to represent family unity.Nutrition is necessary for life, so it is not surprising that food is such an important part of different cultures around the world.9. According to the passage, sharing bread______.A. indicates a lack of foodB. can help to develop unit yC. is a custom unique to rural areasD. has its roots in birthday celebrations10. What does the coin in vasilopita signify for its receiver in the New Year?A. Trust.B. Success.C. Health.D. Togetherness.11. The author explains the role of food in celebrations by______.A. using examplesB. making comparisonsC. analyzing causesD. describing processes12. What is the passage mainly about?A. The custom of sharing food.B. The specific meaning of food.C. The role of food in ceremonies.D. The importance of food in culture.DParents who help their children with homework may actually be bringing down their school grades. Other forms of prenatal involvement, including volunteering at school and observing a child’s class, also fail to help, according to the most recent study on the topic.The findings challenge a key principle of modern parenting(养育子女) where schools except them to act as partners in their children’s education. Previous generations concentrated on getting children to school on time, fed, dressed and ready to learn.Kaith Robinson, the author of the study, said, “I really don't know if the public is ready for this but there are some ways parents can be involved in their kids’ education that leads to declines in their academic performance. One of the things that was consistently negative wa s parents’ help with homework.” Robins on suggested that may be because parents themselves struggle to understand the task. “They may either not remember the material their kids are studying now, or in some cases never learnt it themselves, but they’re still offering advice.”Robinson assessed parental involvement performance and found one of the most damaging things a parent could do was to punish their children for poor marks. In general, about20% of parental involvement was positive, about 45% negative and the rest statistically insignificant.Common sense suggests it was a good thing for parents to get involved because “children with good academic success do have involved parents”, admitted Robinson. But he argued that this did not prove parental involvement was the root cause of that success. “A big surprise was that Asian-American parents whose kids are doing so well in school hardly involved. They took a more reasonable approach, conveying to their children how success at school could improve their lives.”13. The underlined exp ression “parental involvement” in Paragraph 1 probably means .A. parents’expectation on children’s healthB. parents’participation in children’s educationC. parents’control over children’s lifeD. parents’plan for children’s futur e14. What is the major finding of Robinson’s study?A. Modern parents raise children in a more scientific way.B. Punishing kids for bad marks is mentally damaging.C. Parental involvement is not so beneficial as expected.D. Parents are not able to help with children’s homework.15. The example of Asian-American parents implies that parents should .A. help children realize the importance of schoolingB. set a specific life goal for their childrenC. spend more time improving their own livesD. take a m ore active part in school management第二节：七选五（共5小题；每题2分，共10分）Building Trust in a Relationship AgainTrust is a learned behavior that we gain from past experiences. 16. Trust is a risk. But you can’t be successful when there’s a la ck of trust in a relationship that results from an action where the wrongdoer takes no responsibility to fix the mistake.Unfortunately, we’ve all been victims of betrayal. Whether we’ve been stolen from, lied to, misled, or cheated on, there are different levels of losing trust. Sometimes people simply can’t trust anymore, 17. It’s understandable, but if you’re willing to build trust in a relationship again, we have some steps you can take to get you there.●18. Having confidence in yourself will help you make better choices because you cansee what the best outcome would be for your well-being.●19. If you’ve been betray ed, you are the victim of your circumstance. But there’sa difference between being a victim and living with a “victim mentality”. At somepoint in all of our lives, we’ll have our trust tested or violated.●You didn’t lose “everything”. Once trust is lost, what is left? Instead of lookingat the situation from this hopeless angle, look at everything you still have and be thankful for all of the good in your life. 20 instead, it’s a healthy way to work through the experience to allow room for positive growth and forgiveness.A.Learn to really trust yourself.B.It is putting confidence in someone.C.Stop regarding yourself as the victim.D.Remember that you can expect the best in return.E.They’ve been too badly hurt and they can’t bear to let it happen again.F.This knowledge carries over in their attitude toward their future relationships.G. Seeing the positive side of things doesn’t mean you’re ignor ing what happened.第二部分：英语知识运用（共2节，满分45分）第一节：完形填空（共20小题；每题1.5分，共30分）“Daily Star, sir” called Jason, carrying some newspapers under his arm.

2014届高三第三次大联考(新课标卷) 英语试题 Word版含答案

2014届高三第三次大联考（新课标卷）英语试卷第二部分阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题：每小题2分，满分30分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

AWhile we are on the subject of crime, our listener question this week comes from Mohamad Firouzi in Iran. He wants to know about the history of Alcatraz Island and the prison that once operated there.Alcatraz Island is in the harbor of San Francisco, California. It is best known for being a federal prison, which was also called “The Rock.” It was once the most famous prison in America. Alcatraz was a military prison from the late eighteen fifties until the nineteen thirties. Then it became a federal prison for the country’s worst criminals. These included murderers, bank robbers and kidnappers. One of the main reasons federal officials chose Alcatraz Island to detain these prisoners was because they thought it would be impossible for prisoners to escape.Cold, deep and dangerous waters surround the island. Also, the distance between the island and San Francisco is too far for most humans to swim. No prisoner was ever officially reported to have successfully escaped.However, in nineteen sixty-two, three men broke out of the prison. Each man worked very hard at night for many months to cut through the stone wall of his cell. They made false heads out of paper, paint and hair. On the night of June eleventh, the men placed the heads in their beds to make it look as if they were sleeping. Then, the prisoners escaped through the holes in their cells to get to the water. The men were never seen or heard from again. It is believed that they drowned while trying to swim to San Francisco.The prison closed in nineteen sixty-three because of the high cost of keeping prisoners there and the need for major repairs. The last prisoners were moved to other jails.In nineteen seventy-two, the United States Congress passed a bill creating the Golden Gate National Recreation Area. Alcatraz Island and the old prison are part of this area.Each year, more than one million people visit Alcatraz to see the prison ers’ cells and listen to stories about the jail’s history. But unlike the prisoners who once lived there, visitors can escape from the prison whenever they want and return back across the harbor to San Francisco.21. The text mainly tells us________.A. about the history of Alcatraz Island and the prison there.B. about the history of Alcatraz Island.C. about a military prison.D. about the subject of crime.22. Why did federal officials make Alcatraz the most famous prison in America?A. Because no prisoner successfully escaped from the prison.B. Because Alcatraz was Alcatraz Island.C. Because Alcatraz was a military prison.D. Because cold, deep and dangerous waters surround the island.23. Paragraph 5 is written to ________.A. tell us the three prisoners escaped the prison.B. prove prisoners couldn’t successfully escape from the prison.C. tell us how prisoners escaped the prison.D. tell us the three prisoners could make false heads out of paper, paint and hair.24. Now Alcatraz ________.A. is a place of interest.B. detains some prisoners.C. is where the United States Congress is.D. is still the most famous prison.BLast Thursday, I had the pleasure of visiting with Deputy Superintendent Pedro Martinez, Principal Neddy Alvarez and her staff at Western High School, located in the Clark County School District, in Las Vegas. The school undertook a comprehensive effort to completely transform the culture of the school and added a motivated group of talented teachers. Western altered（改变）the school day to add opportunities for students to get additional credits toward graduation and created smaller learning groups. As part of these comprehensive changes, the school’s leadership also focused on four main reforms to transform their school.First, improvements started with the change in the relationship between the school and students to create a caring atmosphere at the school. Using the “Capturing Kids’ Hearts” strategies, school leadership and teachers began building a trusting environment and students and families described seeing changes aimed at improving student outcomes and ensuring the success of every student. The school day was altered to add more options for students to obtain additional credits toward graduation. Students and teachers were grou ped into “houses,” so that smaller groups of teachers and counselors(辅导员)could create one-on-one relationships with students. Teachers and counselors said that the altered school day provides time to address student’s individual concerns and develop individualized learning plans to put every student on a path to graduation.The school also made changes to encourage parents to support school and encourage real dialogues between parents and the teachers and leaders at Western. Funded in part through the United Way, the school created a family engagement center to get parents more involved in their children’s education, particularly parents of English language learners. Parents like Ally Gaona and Martha Mendez told me that they had a voice and the tools to eng age in their children’s learning and that they recognize that the main responsibility for their children’s learning must rest with the parents. Parents were passionate about these positive changes and said that these changes signaled to the entire the community that the school was serious about family engagement.25. What is the main purpose of the passage?A.To attract people to the school.B. To talk about the school reforms.C. To introduce the schoolD. To introduce the relationship between the school and students.26. How many main reforms are mentioned in the passage?A. TwoB. ThreeC. FourD. Five27. Students and teachers were grouped into “houses in order to ___.A. provide time to address student’s individual concerns.B. add more options for students to obtain additional credits toward graduation..C. create one-on-one relationships with students.D. develop individualized learning plans to put every student on a path to graduation.28. Which statement is the right according to the passage?A. Parents didn’t support the reforms.B. The reforms intended to improve student outcomes and ensure the success of every student.C. The school asked parents to donate their money.D. the school was not serious about family engagement.CBEIJING - China will build a nation-wide network within three to five years to monitor the impact of air pollution on health, a latest step to deal with a persistent smog crisis in big cities, an official said.A total of 43 monitoring spots will be set up in 16 provinces and municipalities frequently engulfed by smog so as to facilitate research on air pollutants in different regions, the impact on the health of vulnerable groups and the study of related diseases, said Xu Dongqun, an official with the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention.With funds allocated by the central government, the study will provide reference for preventive efforts to reduce the PM 2.5, Xu said. Thick and dangerous smog have hit 17 provinces and municipalities with a population of 600 million this year. One of the major cities is Beijing, which has been shrouded in smog for several days during the ongoing seven-day national holiday in 2013.China recently issued a 1.75 trillion-yuan (284.2 billion U.S. dollars) plan to deal with the worsening air, improving air quality within five years in order to decrease the number of heavily polluted days and improve the air in major city clusters.29. China will build a nation-wide network in order to_________.A. monitor the impact of air pollution on healthB. improve air qualityC. improve air pollutionD. increase the PM 2.530. The underlined word “persistent” means“________”.A. 短时的B. 持久的C. 短暂的D. 停留的31. China will take measures to deal with air pollution except________.A. China recently issued a 1.75 trillion-yuan (284.2 billion U.S. dollars) planB. set up monitoring spots in 16 provinces and municipalitiesC. improve living standardD. improve the air in major city clusters32. We can infer from the paragraph________.A. Thick and dangerous smog have hit 17 provinces and municipalitiesB. air pollution impacted a population of 600 million this yearC. The people in Beijing probably wore masks when they walked on the street during the national holiday in 2013.D. the study will provide reference for preventive efforts to reduce the PM 2.5DA time capsule buried by Apple founder Steve Jobs 30 years ago has been discovered after its location was long forgotten. In 1983, the young tech innovator was attending a conference in Aspen when he and the group decided to bury as a stunt during a design convention.The tube that was filled with an eclectic collection of goods- ranging from the then-new apple mouse to a six-pack of beer for the people who discovered the time capsule- was meant to be dug up 20 years later. There was a problem with that plan, however, as everyone involved forgot where it was buried.The final discovery happened at the hands of the crew from the National Geographic Channel`s reality show called Diggers. The discovery was well documented and is surely going to be featured on an upcoming episode, and even the experts had problems finding this particular treasure. CNET reports that in spite of their preparations and clear idea of where the 13-foot-long tube was, it still took them two hours to dig it up using heavy machinery.To anyone removed from the tech industry, the accomplishment in finding the tube appears to be the biggest accomplishment.To others, the most interesting object would likely be the `Lisa` mouse placed in the tube by the hands of a then-28-year-old Jobs. The Lisa Mouse, which Jobs named after his daughter, was one of the first commercial computer mice soled publicly, making it a rarity at the time.The Aspen Historical Society is going to help the show creators catalogue the tube`s contents- but no word yet whether or not the Diggers cracked open one of the six bottles of Boddington`s Ale that was left inside for the people who found the tube.33.Who found the time capsule buried by Steve Jobs?A. Apple founder Steve Jobs himself.B. the crew from the National Geographic Channel`s reality show called Diggers.C. Steve Jobs' friends.D. Steve Jobs’ daughter.34.Which is the best title of the passage ?A. A time capsule buried by Apple founder Steve Jobs.B. Steve Jobs' plan.C. Steve Jobs' time capsule is uncovered.D. The tube by Steve Jobs.35.How old is Steve Jobs now?A. 58 years old.B. 20 years old.C. 30 years old.D. 48 years old.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。
