2019届高三英语考前冲刺模拟卷4
2019届高三英语考前冲刺模拟卷41、Though many artists specialize in cityscapes(城市风光) , very few create masterpieces as detailed as those sketched(画素描) by Stephen Wiltshire. Even more impressive is that each landscape, which takes the British artist just a few days to complete, is drawn from memory, a talent that has earned him the name The Human Camera".Though Stephen is now considered an artistic talent, his start in life was rocky. Suffering from autism(自闭症) at the age of three, he was unable to relate to people and refused to say a single word. His talent came to light when his kindergarten teachers noticed how much the young boy enjoyed drawing. To encourage him to speak, they began providing him with art supplies only if he orally requested them. It was not surprising what was Stephen^ first word, spoken at age five. As a child, Stephen was good at sketching wildlife along with drawings of his teachers and classmates. However, as he grew older, it became apparent that his real talent and passion lay in drawing city skylines.His unbelievable work did not go unnoticed. Stephen sold his first painting for $ 1 ,620( £ 1,150) at age seven, and was invited by the British Prime Minister to create a drawing of the Salisbury Cathedral at age eight. Five years later, his first book of art came out in London! In 2006, to honor his significant contribution to the art world, Stephen was presented with an Member of the Order of the British Empire (MBE) by Prince Charles.Stephen's famous artwork includes skylines of Rome, Hong Kong, Dubai, and London. A career highlight remains his first visit to New York when he was 13, a city he loves and often visits. It was there where he met the late author Oliver Sacks. The two became lifelong friends. Sacks once wrote, "His limitations can serve as strengths, too. His vision is valuable, because it conveys a wonderfully direct, unconventional view of the world."is Stephen called "The Human Camera"?is able lo copy cityscapes exactly.can draw cities entirely from memory.is able to sketch cityscapes quickly.has drawn many cities in a few days.was probably Stephen's first word since birth?....happened to Stephen when he was 13?sold his first painting.met the government head.published a book.received an MBEdid Sacks regard Stephen's disease?makes for Stephen’s talent.has no limitations to Stephen.gives Stephen great inner strength.conveys a different view of the world.2、Get involved!Make a donation!So what is rewilding?Imagine our natural habitats growing instead of species thriving,instead of 's is ecological restoration and a little bit offers hope for wildlife,humans and the planet.Why is rewilding essential for Britain?●Our ecosystems are places where you would expect wildlife to thrive have been reduced to wet seabed has been damaged and stripped of its living creatures.●Our wildlife is wonderful British species have declined catastrophically over the past 've lost more of our large mammals than any European country except Ireland.●We need keystone vital species,including top predator（食肉动物）,drive ecological processes. Their loss in Britain and around the world has worsened our living systems.●Nature looks after ecosystems can provide us with clean air and water,prevent flooding,store carbon, and attract can leave the world in a better state than it is today.What are challenges?Our "rewilding britain" is a long-term course it has its of us feel indifferent,because we have got used to the lack of native farmers oppose the thought it a crazy idea to bring back predators to the country because they would start killing farm takes time to educate all, weneed money!So we need your help!Make a donationHelp us bring back Jiving systems and restore wild nature in Britain!With your help we can...●Open up new opportunities for rewilding and push for change.●Develop tools to educate,influence and spread the word.Thanks for your support.1. What can we know from the result of rewilding?A. A lot of species decline.B. Species become various.C. Ecosystems are greatly destroyed.D. The seabed has been damaged.2. What's the greatest challenge at present?A. People's indifferenceB. Farmers' oppositionC. Shortage of timeD. A lack of fund3. What is the purpose of the passage?A. To persuade people to change their mind.B. To call on people to make a donation.C. To convince people to care for predators.D. To warn people of the bad ecosystem.3、That the success of humans as a species depends to a large extent on our ability to cooperate in groups is widely believed. Much more so than any other animal, people are able to coordinate and join their forces and actions to produce mutual benefits.New research involving Dr Molleman, an expert at the University of Nottingham, suggests that successful cooperation in groups depends on how people gather information about their peers, and how they base their cooperative decisions on it.Biologists wonder how cooperation could have developed by natural selection: it is puzzling how cooperation can be beneficial when it is possible to behave selfishly and take advantage ofthe cooperative efforts of your group. Psychologists and economists try hard to understand why many people are willing to sacrifice their own welfare to benefit their social environment. They asked questions like “How do people make decisions when their actions can affect the welfare of others?” “How people determine their behavior when they have to cooperate in groups?”.Dr Pieter Van Den Berg from the University of Groningen sai d, “From previous research we know that some people are ‘majority-oriented (以……为中心)’ and tend to look at the behavior of the majority in their group, whereas others are ‘success-oriented’ and try to find out what kind of behavior pays off best for themselv es.”Dr Molleman, from the center of the Decision Research and Experimental Economics, said, “It turns out that behavior in groups of success-oriented people was much more selfish than it in groups of majority-oriented people. As a consequence, the people in the majority-oriented groups tended to cam more money in the experiment since they cooperated more.”1. Compared with other animals, human beings are capable of ________.A. communicating well with othersB. working together with each otherC. surviving some natural disastersD. getting access to various information2. What are the psychologists and economists most interested in?A. Whether people’s personal efforts will pay off eventually.B. How cooperation has developed over a long lime naturally.C. Why people offer to affect those around them unselfishly.D. What benefit that good cooperation can bring immediately.3. We can infer that the success-oriented people________.A. are careful to select a group to joinB. are likely to be successful in the futureC. pay more attention to the result of their effortD. have some skills in collecting useful information4. What is the new finding of the research?A. Having good relationship gets us to live fullest life.B. Focusing on individual success makes people selfish.C. Being considerate can ensure our long-term benefit.D. Mastering social skills help create harmonious society.4、If you want to get rid of body fat，time-restricted feeding (TRF) could be the answer. TRF isa form of intermittent fasting (间歇性禁食)一which has several benefits over regular dieting. With intermittent fasting, the idea is that you can eat only during an eight-hour period in the day—between，say，11 am and 7 pm. The rest of the day，you don’t touch food or calories in any form. Now a study recently published in the Journal of Nutritional Science suggests that TRF may offer just as many benefits.Scientists divided 16 volunteers into two groups. One group delayed their typical breakfast time by 90 minutes and then ate their dinner 90 minutes earlier than they normally might. This shortened their eating “window” by three hours. The other group ate at their normal hours. Regularly，the researchers tested the volunteers’ blood，checking their blood sugar and cholesterol levels. The volunteers kept careful diet diaries and completed a feedback questionnaire at the end of the study.After ten weeks，the first group had lost，on average，more than twice as much body fat as the second. After analyzing the diet diaries，the researchers found that the TRF group had simply eaten less. In fact，57 percent of the first group noted on their questionnaires that they'd eaten less；they said their appetites weren't as strong and they had fewer opportunities to eat. Plus，they remove nighttime snacking.While thi s study can’t finally link lower body fat to the TRF schedule，it makes clear the advantages of limiting people’s eating time. The researchers will repeat the research with bigger groups and for a wide range of ages and conditions. They find that TRF is not alwayswell-matched with family and social duty. Sometimes life's demands necessarily get in the way.1.What does the idea of time-restricted feeding mean?A.One can eat only during 11 am and 7 pm in a day.B.One can eat food only during a limited period in the day.C.One can have only one meal during a day.D. One can only eat the approved food during the 8 hours.2.The reason why the first group lost much more body fat was that _________.A.their appetites were weakerB.they had fewer opportunities to eatC.they remove nighttime snackingD.they had simply eaten less3.What will the researchers do in the following study?A.They will link lower body fat to the TRF schedule.B.They will start another program with bigger groups and for a wide range of ages and conditions.C.They will repeat the research with more volunteers of different ages and conditions.D.They will research how TRF connects with family and social duty.4.What is the best title for the text?A.Time-Restricted Feeding Can Offer Many BenefitsB.This Easy Change Could Help You Burn Body Fat FasterC.Limiting People's Eating Time Has AdvantagesD.Losing More Body Fat Has Been Solved5、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。

ARaised by a single mother in Hartford, Fred Wright struggled with behavioral problems and was forced to move from one school to another. He even reached a point where he felt like he had nothing to live for.“I was walking around with a lot on my shoulders,” he said. “I couldn’t handle it. I didn’t care about life anymore.” But all that started to change when Wright met Patricia Kelly.“I was seven when I met Mrs. Kelly. I wasn’t used to strictness. I wasn’t used to hearing the word ‘no’,” said Wright, now 17.Kelly, a former soldier and an equestrian(骑手), took Wright under her wing and helped him find hope in an unlikely place—on a horse.“Wright was like a round peg that everybody kept trying to squeeze into a square hole, “Kelly said. “He was hurting. He needed a place where he could express himself. The riding field became that place for him.”For the last 30 years, Kelly has helped children stay on the right track through her non-profit, Ebony Horsewomen. The program offers horseback riding lessons and teaches animal science to more than 300 young people a year. By exposing those children to horsemanship, Kelly aims to give them an alternative to the streets and an opportunity to turn their lives around.“We use horse as a hook to create pride, esteem and healing,” said Kelly, 66. “They learn1that t hey have ability. They just have to unlock it.”“When you teach children to ride horses, they learn they are the center of their environment,” said Kelly, “Once they make the connection, they can change what happens in school, at home and in the community.”1. Why did Fred Wright have to move from one school to another?A. Because his mother couldn’t afford the fees.B. Because his parents got divorced.C. Because he behaved badly at school.D. Because he didn’t set a life goal.2. How did Patricia Kelly help Fred Wright?A. She provided him with a home.B. She exposed him to the riding field.C. She found him a better school.D. She encouraged him to learn science.3. What can be inferred from the last two paragraphs?A. Horse riding is helpful to the growth of kids.B. Patricia Kelly is a very successful woman.C. Horses are closely related to the environment.D. It is hard for a kid to learn to ride a horse.BWithout proper planning, tourism can cause problems. For example, too many tourists can crowd public places that are also enjoyed by the people there. If tourists create too much traffic, the people there become angry and unhappy. They begin to dislike tourists and to treat them impolitely. They forget how much tourism can help the country’s economy. It is important to think about how tourism affects them. Tourism should help a country keep the culture and beauty that attract tourists. Tourism should be also helpful for the health and happiness of local people. Too much tourism can be a problem. If tourism grows too quickly, people must leave other jobs to work in the tourism industry. This means that other parts of the country’s economy can suffer.On the other hand, if there is not enough tourism, people can lose jobs. Businesses can also lose money. It takes a great deal of money to build large hotels, airports, air terminals, first-class2roads, and other support facilities needed by tourist attractions. For example, a major international class tourism hotel can cost as much as 50 thousand dollars per room to build. If this room is not used most of the time, the owners of the hotel will lose money.Building a hotel is just a beginning. There must be many support facilities as well, including roads to get to the hotel, electricity, sewers to handle waste and water. All of these support facilities cost money. If they are not used because there are not enough tourists, jobs and money are lost.4. Which of the following probably has been discussed right before this passage?A. It is extremely important to develop tourism.B. Building roads and hotels is essential.C. Support facilities are highly necessary.D. Planning is of great importance to tourism.5. Not enough tourism will _____.A. cause the prices to rise and the income to fallB. lead to fewer tourist attractionsC. have more local people out of workD. ruin other parts of the country’s economy6．It can be inferred from the text that ________.A. the author doesn’t like the tourism to develop quicklyB. tourism can make a difference to the country’s economyC. local people don’t want to be disturbed by touristsD. too many support facilities will lead to jobs and money lossCCotton farmers in some Indian villages are busily buying Coca-Cola and Pepsi, believing that the sugar in the fizzy (起泡的) drinks kills pests.Farmers say scientists advised them to mix pesticides with a sugary juice to control pests, and they found the mixture cheaper and more effective than pure chemicals---although soft drinks makers and scientists dismissed the remarks. N. Hamunayya, who has become a famous person in3his village in the south-eastern state of Andhra Pradesh, said his crop survived an attack of pests which had resisted other pesticides. “We found that all the cola had a uniform effect on pests. The pests became dead and fell to the ground,” he said. He said the drinks had all the elements they needed: they were cheaper, sticky, fizzy, and attracted ants, which ate the young of the pests. But Thinupathi Reddy, assistant director of the Regional Agriculture Research Station, Guntur, says tests had proved such results wrong. “We conducted some fiel d trials on cotton crop at our research station. There was no obvious productivity or destruction of pests,” he says.Statements from Pepsi and Coca-Cola said there was “no scientific basis” for this practice. But their dealers are enjoying increasing sales. Mantan Wall, who sells soft drinks in 17 villages in the region, said sales rose up, thanks to the farmers. “For the 10 days between August and September I had successful business. Instead of just 30 cases (each containing a dozen one-litre bottles) of cola, I started selling almost 200 cases,” he said. “We expected the sales to drop after the news over pesticide residues (残留) in the cola drinks. Now I have to keep extra supply for the cotton farmers,” he said.In February, an Indian environment group made a report saying drinks made by Coca-Cola and Pepsi contained pesticides and called for tougher safety standards. The US firms strongly rejected the findings of the New Delhi-based Centre for Science and Environment and said their products were safe.7. What is the writer’s purpose of writing this passage ?A. Introduce an incident that happened in India.B. Warn people of the harmful effects of soft drinks.C. Suggest using Coca-Cola and Pepsi to kill pests.D. Announce a new discovery of some soft drinks.8. According to paragraph 2, the drinks can kill pests because_____.A. there is some pesticide left in themB. they are cheaper, sticky and fizzyC. they have all the elements that kill pestsD. they made pesticides more effective9. What does the underlined part “this practice” in paragraph 3 probably refer to?4A. testing the mixtureB. selling more drinks in IndiaC. mixing the drinks with pesticidesD. attracting ants to eat the young pests10. The drink makers wouldn’t accept the fact that their drinks could kill pests because_____.A. they thought it went against scienceB. they didn’t believe the farmers told the truthC. they feared it might bring harm to their businessD. they insisted there was no poison left in their products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。

This would mean that she always felt that she was protected and would always have money if she really needed it.When I was married in 1970 my husband who had heard this story, obtained a 1937 crown coin for me and I have always kept it in my wallet, and I have always had enough for my needs.A friend recently fell on hard times, partly through external (外部的）circumstances and partly through poor planning. Friends and I have loaned her money, paid her bills, given her food, and even tried to teach her budget techniques, but none of them has been a solution. She has just slipped deeper and deeper into financial trouble and depression.Last week she looked pale and unwell, very depressed and hopeless, very sad for a friend to see and I then thought about how the crown coin, a physical reminder of another’s care and love had protected me, so I went to the bank for a $ 100 dollar-bill.I told my friend the story and asked her to keep the $ 100 in the back of her wallet. It turned out that she didn’t have a wallet, so she put the money in a little pencil case where she kept her coins. She immediately felt better—“I feel rich, and thank you for being a good friend,” she said, and we were both a bit teary.I went home and remembered a little wallet I had that I’d never used, and thought, “I’ll give that to my friend.”I opened it, and inside, found $ 100.25. What did the 1937 crown coin from the author’s father mean to her mother?A. His concern for her.B. His pity and protection for her.C. His care and love for her.D. His pride and respect for her.26. Where did the author’s fr iend keep the $ 100 dollar-bill?A. In the back of her wallet.B. In a little pencil case.C. In the pocket of her raincoat.D. In the layer of her suitcase.27. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A. The author became rich all of a sudden.B. Th e author’s friend would receive a wallet as a gift.C. The author’s friend was not touched by her story.D. The author felt uncomfortable when receiving the bill.28. What can be the best title for the text?A. A crown coinB. The help to a friendC. A hard lifeD. A gift from my fatherCIn China, chain restaurants —especially the big multinational ones —are cool. Going to Starbucks, for example, is a status symbol. It not only says, “I’m rich enough to buy this overpriced coffee,” but also, “I’m cosmopolitan （见多识广的）enough to be part of globalization.”Where I come from in the UK，however，chains are neither fashionable nor gourmet（美食的）. Chains are where you go on New Year’s Day when nowhere else is open，or when you are 5 years old and your parents can’t stand hearing “I’m huuungry!” any longer. In my own case (with regards to McDonald’s), a chain is where you are taken on your first “date”. Even at the age of 13, I knew to give the guy the “let’s just be friends” phone call the next day.In the UK, independent cafes and restaurants are making a comeback on the fashion scene. Nowadays, a Londoner who says “let’s meet for a coffee at Monmouth” (an independent café) is much cooler than one who says “let’s go to Starbucks”. Even if Monmouth’s coffee is a littl e more expensive, there’s a satisfaction in knowing your pounds aren’t going straight to the big corporations.Of course, there are chain stores all over the UK; you can’t go five minutes without spotting a Costa Coffee. But numbers do not add up to good taste.I do, however, have a confession (坦白). After moving to China I had moments when all the rice and Kung Pao Chicken became too much. I, too, have retreated to McDonald’s.29. Many Chinese people like to go to multinational chain restaurants because ______.A. the restaurants give customers a taste of foreign cultureB. the restaurants offer different food and drinks from other restaurantsC. they believe that eating there will show their wealth and social statusD. these restaurants are perfect places for a romantic date30. Which of the following statements is TRUE?A. The author has grown tired of Chinese food.B. Branches of Monmouth’s cafe can be found all over the UK.C. Most independent stores are closed on New Year’s Day in the UK.D. It is cool in the UK to take your first date to a chain restaurant.31. We can infer from the article that ______.A. the author doesn’t like food from Pizza HutB. the author doesn’t like to follow fashion trendsC. many Britons think that numbers mean poor qualityD. many Britons don’t like big corporationsDDarwin noted that some human emotional expressions might have started as part of a physiological function: for example, exposing the teeth to bite food. The function, however, took on meaning and became a form of communication which signals anger.The same may be true for the animals. Baby monkeys cry for attention. They also cry to signal to an adult that they want to be carried.“Chimpanzees do make upset voice when they are being weaned (断奶) by their mothers or have lost their mothers or another individual,” says Anne Pusey, a professor at the University of Minnesota. “They whimper (呜咽) and cry and scream. When we hear these calls, the emotion involved seems obvious. However, they do not weep in the sense of producing tears. I have seen an adolescent male whimpering when he lost sight of his older brother with whom he had been traveling.”Babies of many mammalian species, including rats, cry. Moreover, when a baby rat cries, often his mother brings the fallen pup back into the nest. This is probably a straightforward communication, as it is with humans. However, psychologists at the University of Iowa aren’t convinced.The Iowan researchers can cause the same crying sounds by producing large decreases and then increases in blood flow. The blood flow also goes down when baby rats get cold. Thus, they conclude baby rats cry in the same way that we sneeze. Of course the rat baby could be crying because he’s cold and wants his mother to know.“All young mammals make cries when separated from their mother,” says Jaak Panksepp, a psychologist at Bowling Green State University. “If you’re willing to call this crying, then certainly other animals show this emotional response.” he says, “Some of us take seriously that animals do have emotions.”32. According to the first paragraph, what kind of emotion does “exposing the teeth” express?A. Disappointment.B. Excitement.C. Anger.D. Happiness.33. Which is one probable reason why young chimpanzees might be crying?A. They meet their brother.B. They have nothing to eat.C. They are being breast-fed.D. They are parted from their mother.34. Under what circumstance will baby rats cry just like humans’ sneeze?A. Their blood flow is decreased.B. They feel cold and long for affection.C. Their blood flow is increased.D. Their mother brings them back home.35. Where is the passage most likely taken from?A. An animal journal.B. A physiology book.C. A health magazine.D. A cultural newspaper.第二节七选五（共5小题；每小题2分，共10分）Apologizing can be very difficult. It takes maturity to put aside your pride and own up to your faults. 36. , it’s easy to make mistakes.37. . For the other person to heal, address the expression and acknowledge your actions were out of line. Take a careful look at the part you played in the fault. While you could offer some context or explanation for how things went wrong, you shouldn’t let that negate(否认) your apology.If you aren’t coming across as sincere, you are just not going to win in the apology department. 38. , and can focus on your tone and sincerity when it comes time to deliver them. In the long run, not being genuine just creates more distrust instead of repairing the damage.Waiting too long to apologize can make a bad situation worse. Do it sooner rather than later. However, apologizing too quickly can also be problematic. Sometimes people need a minute to cool off, and if someone’s trying to hound(催促) them to give them an apology, it’s not going to work. If time has passed, you can still attempt to right a wrong. 39. .Saying “I’m sorry, but…”is one of the worst ways to say you’re sorry. When you use the word “but”, it negates or cancels everything that goes before it. 40. . Even if your intentions were good, you still have to own up(老实承认) to the harm you caused.A. And when you do express an apologyB. It’s important to apologize face to face if possibleC. The old saying holds true — better late than neverD.

But the 41 would no doubt be greater if you were living on the streets with little food and money. All of this makes the actions of the homeless Tom Smith 42 more remarkable.After spotting a 43 on the front seat inside a parked car with its window down, he stood guard in the rain for about two hours waiting for the 44 to return.After hours in the cold and wet, he 45 inside and pulled the wallet out hoping to find some ID so he could contact（联系）the driver, only to 46 it contained £400 in notes, with another £50 in spare change beside it.He then took the wallet to a nearby police station after 47 a note behind to let the owner know it was safe. When the car’s owner John Anderson and his colleague Carol Lawrence returned to the car — which was itself worth £35, 000 — in Glasgow city centre, they were 48 to find two policemen standing next to it. The policemen told them what Mr. Smith did and that the wallet was 49 .The pair were later able to thank Mr. Smith for his 50 .Mr. Anderson said: “I couldn’t believe that the guy never took a penny. To think he is sleeping on the streets tonight 51 he could have stolen the money and paid for a place to stay in. This guy has nothing and 52 he didn’t take the wallet for himself; he thought about others 53 . It’s unbelievable. It just proves there are 54 guys out there.”Mr. Smith’s act 55 much of the public’s attention. He also won praise from social media users after Mr. Anderson 56 about the act of kindness on Facebook.Now Mr. Anderson has set up an online campaign to 57 money for Mr. Smith and other homeless people in the area, which by yesterday had received £8,000. “I think the faith that everyone has shown ____58_ him has touched him.

AMaybe you think there are many reasons why you are over weighed? Recent research compare the sedentary（久坐的） behavior to smoking, warning it could reduce years from your lifespan. Now, researchers at the University of Texas, have added their weight to the argument. They found standing for up to six hours a day, can cut fat levels by a third.Being upright, rather than slumped(消沉) at your desk, in front of the TV or on the train to work, for one quarter of the day is linked to a 32 percent decrease in the chance of becoming obese（肥胖的）.They found that among men, standing a quarter of the time was linked to a 32 percent reduced likelihood of obesity (body fat percentage). Standing half the time was associated with a 59 percent reduced likelihood of obesity. But standing more than three-quarters of the time was not associated with a lower risk of obesity.In women, standing a quarter, half, and three quarters of the time was associated with 35 percent, 47 percent, and 57 percent respective reductions in the likelihood of waist size. The US scientists looked at the standing habits of more than 7,000 adults and compared their body mass index (BMI), body fat percentage and waist size.21. According to the passage, standing up six hours a day could _______.A. make you over weighed.B. even worse than smokingC. reduce years of your lifespan.D. cut your fat levels【答案】：D22.

He looked at me for a moment, and then wrote a se ntence containing the best advice I’ve ever had: Be bold and brave —and mighty (强大的) forces will come to your aid.Those words made me see clearly that when I had fallen short in the past, it was seldom because I had tried and failed. It was usually because I had let fear of failure stop me from trying at all. On the other hand, whenever I had plunged into deep water, forced by courage or circumstance, I had always been able to swim until I got my feet on the ground again.Boldness means a decision to bite off more than you are sure you can eat. And there is nothing mysterious about the mighty forces. They are potential powers we possess: energy, skill, sound judgment, creative ideas —even physical strength greater than most of us realize.Admittedly, those mighty forces are spiritual ones. But they are more important than physical ones. A college classmate of mine, Tim, was an excellent football player, even though he weighed much less than the average player. “In one game I suddenly found myself confronti ng a huge player, who had nothing but me between him and our goal line,” said Tim. “I was so frightened that I closed my eyes and desperately threw myself at that guy like a bullet (子弹) —and stopped him cold.”Boldness — a willingness to extend yourself to the extreme—is not one that can be acquired overnight. But it can be taught to children and developed in adults. Confidence builds up. Surely, there will be setbacks (挫折) and disappointments in life; boldness in itself is no guarantee of success. But the person who tries to do something and fails is a lot better off than the person who tries to do nothing and succeeds.So, always try to live a little bit beyond your abilities—and you’ll find your abilities are greater than you ever dreamed.24. Why was the author sometimes unable to reach his goal in the past?A. He faced huge risks.B. He lacked mighty forces.C. Fear prevented him from trying.D. Failure blocked his way to success.25. What is the implied meaning of the underlined part?A. Swallow more than you can digest.B. Act slightly above your abilities.C. Develop more mysterious powers.D. Learn to make creative decisions.26. What can be learned from Paragraph 5?A. Confidence grows more rapidly in adults.B. Trying without success is meaningless.C. Repeated failure creates a better life.D. Boldness can be gained little by little.27. What is the author’s purpose in writing this passage?A. To encourage people to be courageous.B. To advise people to build up physical power.C. To tell people the ways to guarantee success.D. To recommend people to develop more abilities.C（说明文）（2018天津）There’s a new frontier in 3D printing that’s beginning to come into focus: food. Recent devel opment has made possible machines that print, cook, and serve foods on a mass scale. And the industry isn’t stopping there.Food productionWith a 3D printer, a cook can print complicated chocolate sculptures and beautiful pieces for decoration on a wedding cake. Not everybody can do that — it takes years of experience, but a printer makes it easy. A restaurant in Spain uses a Foodini to “re-create forms and pieces” of food that are “exactly the same,” freeing cooks to complete other tasks. In another restaurant, all of the dishes and desserts it serves are 3D-printed, rather than farm to table. Sustainability(可持续性)The global population is expected to grow to 9.6 billion by 2050, and some analysts estimate that food production will need to be raised by 50 percent to maintain current levels. Sustainability is becoming a necessity. 3D food printing could probably contribute to the solution. Some experts believe printers could use hydrocolloids (水解胶体) from plentiful renewables like algae(藻类) and grass to replace the familiar ingredients(烹饪原料). 3D printing can reduce fuel use and emissions. Grocery stores of the future might stock "food" that lasts years on end, freeing up shelf space and reducing transportation and storage requirements.NutritionFuture 3D food printers could make processed food healthier. Hod Lipson, a professor at Columbia University, said, “Food printing could allow consumers to print food with customized nutritional content, like vitamins. So instead of eating a piece of yesterday’s bread from the supermarket, you’d eat something baked just for you on demand.”ChallengesDespite recent advancements in 3D food printing, the industry has many challenges to overcome. Currently, most ingredients must be changed to a paste(糊状物学&科网) before a printer can use them, and the printing process is quite time-consuming, because ingredients interact with each other in very complex ways. On top of that, most of the 3D food printers now are restricted to dry ingredients, because meat and milk products may easily go bad. Some experts are skeptical about 3D food printers, believing they are better suited for fast food restaurants than homes and high-end restaurants.28. What benefit does 3D printing bring to food production?A. It helps cooks to create new dishes.B. It saves time and effort in cooking.C. It improves the cooking conditions.D. It contributes to restaurant decorations.29. What can we learn about 3D food printing from Paragraphs 3?A. It solves food shortages easily.B. It quickens the transportation of food.C. It needs no space for the storage of food.D. It uses renewable materials as sources of food.30. According to Paragraph 4, 3D-printed food ________.A. is more available to consumersB. can meet individual nutritional needsC. is more tasty than food in supermarketsD. can keep all the nutrition in raw materials31. What could be the best title of the passage?A. 3D Food Printing: Delicious New TechnologyB. A New Way to Improve 3D Food PrintingC. The Challenges for 3D Food ProductionD. 3D Food Printing: From Farm to TableD议论文（2016年北京卷）Why College Is Not HomeThe college years are supposed to be a time for important growth in autonomy (自主性) and the development of adult identity. However, now they are becoming an extended period of ado lescence, during which many of today’s students and are not shouldered with adult responsibilities.For previous generations, college was decisive break from parental control; guidance and support needed help from people of the same age and from within. In the past two decades, however, continued connection with and dependence on family, thanks to cellphones, email and social media, have increased significantly. Some parents go so far as to help with coursework. Instead of promoting the idea of college as a passage from the shelter of the family to autonomy and adult responsibility, universities have given in to the idea that they should provide the same environment as that of the home.To prepare for increased autonomy and responsibility, college needs to be a time of exploration and experimentation. This process involves “trying on ” new ways of thinking about oneself both intellectually (在思维方面) and personally. While we should provide “safe spaces” within colleges, we must also make it safe to expre ss opinions and challenge majority views. Intellectual growth and flexibility are fostered on debate and questioning.Learning to deal with the social world is equally important. Because a college community (群体) differs from the family, many students will struggle to find a sense of belonging. If students rely on administrators to regulate their social behavior and thinking pattern, they are not facing the challenge of finding an identity within a larger and complex community.Moreover, the tendency for universities to monitor and shape student behavior runs up against another characteristic of young adults: the response to being controlled by their elders. If acceptable social behavior is too strictly defined (规定) and controlled, the insensitive or aggressive behavior that administrators are seeking to minimize may actually be encouraged.It is not surprising that young people are likely to burst out, particularly when there are reasons to do so. Our generation once joined hands and stood firm at times of national emergency. What is lacking today is the conflict between adolescent’s desire for autonomy and their understanding of an unsafe world. Therefore, there is the desire for their dorms to be replacement homes and not places to experience intellectual growth.Every college discussion about community values, social climate and behavior should include recognition of the developmental importance of student autonomy and self-regulation, of the necessary tension between safety and self-discovery.32. What’s the author’s attitude toward continued parental guidance to college students?A. Sympathetic.B. Disapproving.C. Supportive.D. Neutral.33. The underlined word “passage” in Paragraph 2 means.A. changeB. choiceC. textD. extension34. According to the author, what role should college play?A. To develop a shared identity among students.B. T o define and regulate students’ social behavior.C. To provide a safe world without tension for students.D. To foster students’ intellectual and personal development.35. Which of the following shows the development of ideas in the passage?第二节（共 5 小题；每小题 2 分。

2019届高三英语考前押题卷四一、阅读理解1. Most of us know that physical activity leads to better health. That is nothing new. But the United States government has changed its guidance on how much exercise people need to stay healthy and when they should start. Experts say getting or attaining the health benefits from exercise may be easier than earlier thoughts.For children and teensChildren as young as 3 years old need to be physically active. From birth to age 5, a child's brain develops more than at any other time in life. The development has a lasting effect on a child's ability to learn and to succeed in school and in life. Boys and girls in this age group need at least 3 hours of activity every day. That can be light activities, or moderate (适度的) activities. But it is not suggested to put your 5-year-old children on a "running machine" or other exercise facilities.Children aged between 6 and 17 get at least an hour of moderate to vigorous activity a day. The activity should be aerobic (有氧的)exercise,such as biking,swimniing and running. Aerobic activity can strengthen the heart and lungs by making them work hard for several minutes or more. Exercise should also include muscle- and bone-strengthening activities, such as climbing trees, using playground equipment and playing sports. Experts suggest that children get this kind of exercise at least three times a week.For adultsFor adults, experts recommend 150 minutes per week of moderate to vigorous physical activity. That can be quick walking; that can be cutting the grass; that can be gardening; that can he dancing... any kind of activity that gets your heart rate up and gets you exercising moderately. They also think adults need at least two days of muscle-strengthening exercise like push-ups or lifting weights.For adults over 65For older adults, experts suggest 30 to 60 minutes per day of moderate physical activity including activities that help aid balance and flexibility. Better balance means fewer falls and less chance of injury.1.According to the guidance, which group may spend the longest time in exercising?A.Children aged 4.B.Teenagers aged 15.C.Adults aged 35.D.Adults aged 70.2.How many activities are suggested to adults in the text?A.4.B.5.C.6.D.7.3.What is the purpose of the text?A.To persuade people of all ages to exercise.B.To inform people of the proper amount of exercise.C.To advise people to take up aerobic exercise.D.To stress the benefits of physical exercise2. Video producer and musician Justin Scholar enjoyed his fantastic moment weeks ago when he spotted his latest work playing on a huge electronic screen at New York’s Times Square.“It’s sort of the American dream to see your name up inlights,’’ says the 25-year-old New Jersey native. “I’d never really cared about my name being that big, but going to New York and seeing the big screens, you always wonder if your work is going to make it up there.The video that helps Scholar fulfill his “ American dream" was shot and produced in China, where Scholar is living and working as a media company owner. Scholar took his first Chinese class in high school seven years ago and made his first trip to Shanghai in 2015 through a study-abroad program when he was a student in New York University. The film and TV major changed his focus from technical art to traditional arts during his study in Shanghai, spending most of the time learning ink-and-wash painting, calligraphy and the guzheng,a traditional Chinese musical instrument. He also fell in love with the city, where he ate a lot of authentic xiaolongbao, or steamed meat buns, and felt safe walking on the streets at 3 am.Shanghai impresses Scholar as an efficient, modern city calling for greater business prosperity with foreign participation, so he returned two years later, when his career at home was already booming after making commercials for big names such as Coca-Cola and Jaguar.Thanks to a combination of luck and talent, he achieved the goal soon with a Chinese friend as his business partner, and the company has already produced some 15 videos for pop icons, fashionistas, and art museums in merely six months. The video that plays at Times Square, a tourism promotionalfilm for southwest China’s Chongqing city, is the company’s first project contracted(签合同) by a local government in China.1.What did Scholar study in Shanghai? media.B.Technical art.C.Traditional arts.D.The Chinese language.2.What is the author s purpose in writing Paragraph 3 and 4?A.To change to a new topic for writing.B.To make a conclusion of the first 2 paragraphs.C.To dive deeper into the previous topic.D.To add the background information of the video.3.What do we know about Scholars video?A.It was shot at Times Square.B.It showed attractions of Chongqing.C.It was shot in the year 2015.D.it showed his college life in Shanghai.4.What’s the main idea of the text?A.China opens up new routes to international tourists.B.Shanghai attracts an increasing number of foreigners.C.American dream unexpectedly comes true with the great video.D.Young American brings Chinese tourist video to Times Square.3. If you're anything like most working Americans, you probably make a beeline for the coffee machine as soon as you wake up in the morning. In fact, over 85 percent of Americans consume caffeine(咖啡因) regularly —and coffee is the preferred medium. As for the perfect time for your Joe? There's a " sweet spot" that could maximize your caffeine kick, and surprisingly enough, it’s not the first thing in the morning.Although having your coffee right away may cause you to think quickly in the morning, that feeling quickly crashes just a few hours later. " Definitely limit coffee when you first wake up" , Laura Cipullo, registered dietitian and author of Womens Health Body Clock Diet, told CNBC.To get the most benefit, experts recommend drinking your coffee in the mid-morning or early afternoon, instead. Getting caffeine about three to four hours after you get out of bed will do the trick, too. Why? At those times in the day, your body is low on cortisol(皮质醇)——the stress hormone that makes you think quickly — and desperately needs a good pick-me-up.Of course, if you can’t function without your morning coffee, then by all means, continue drinking! Not everyone agrees with the mid-morning theory,anyway. Registereddietitian-nutritionist Melanie Dellinges believes when you consume caffeine is not in the least important; it's how much caffeine you consume that matters the most. She recommends limiting your intake to two to four cups a day.Regardless of when you decide to drink your coffee, try to avoid drinking coffee after 2 or 3 in the afternoon. Research shows that caffeine can disturb your sleep up to six hours after you consume it.1.Which word can best replace the underlined "Joe" in paragraph 1?A.routinepanyC.breakfastD.coffee2.When does the author suggest drinking coffee?te in the evening.B.3 to 4 hours after getting up.C.Early in the morning.D.2 or 3 hours later after getting up.3.What does Melanie Dellinges regard as the most important?A.The amount of caffeine intake.B.The time to consume caffeine.C.The way one takes in caffeine.D.The mid-morning theory on coffee.4.What is the best title for this text?A.How much coffee to drinkB.Why we ought to drink coffeeC.Don't drink coffee in the morningD.The best time to drink coffee4. Energy sources which are pollution free and environmentally friendly are one of the key challenges ofworld’s future society. A team of roboticists and biologists at IIT—Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia in Pontedera (Pisa, Italy), found that living plants can help with electricity. Fabian Meder, Barbara Mazzolai and iheir co-workers at IIT discovered that living plants are “ green ” power source,which may :become one of future’s electricity supplies that perfectly produces in natural environments and is accessible all over the world. Results are published on Advanced Functional Materials.They discovered that plants can produce, by a single leaf, more than 150 volts each time the leaf is touched, enough to power 100 LED light bulbs. They also showed that an “hybrid tree” made of natural and artificial leaves can act as an “green” electrical producer transferring wind into electricity.Certain leaf structures are able to transform mechanical(机械的) forces applied at the leaf surface into electrical energy, because of the specific composition that most plant leaves naturally provide. In detail, the leaf is able to gather electric charges on its surface due to a process called contact electrification. These charges are then immediately passed into the inner plant tissue. The plant tissue transports the electricity to other parts of the plant. And then, by simply connecting a “ plug” to the plant stem(茎), the electricity produced can he harvested and used to power electronic devices.The researchers additionally describe for the first time how this effect can be used to transfer wind into electricity by plants. They equipped a Nerum oleander tree(夹竹桃) with artificial leaves that touch the natural Nerum oleander leaves. When wind blows into the plant and moves the leaves, the “hybrid tree” produces electricity. The electricity produced increases the more leaves are touched. Consequently, it can he easily up-scaled by exploiting the whole surface of I he leaves of a tree or even a forest.1.What can we learn about the discovery of the Italian scientists?A.A living leaf can produce electricity for 100 LED bulbs when touched.B.Artificial plants now serve as an electricity supply in natural environments.C.An artificial leaf can produce electricity for 100 LED bulbs when touched.D.Natural trees can produce electricity by transferring wind in natural environments.2.What does the underlined word in Para. 2 probably mean?A.False.B.Tall.C.Mixed.D.Decorated.3. How does the plant provide electricity for use?a. Electricity is gained from the stem.b. Mechanical forces are put on the leaf.c. Electric charges are gathered by the leaf.d. Electrical energy is passed into the inner parts.e. Mechanical forces are transformed into electric charges.A.d-c-e-b-aB.e-b-c-d-aC.c-d-e-b-aD.b-e-c-d-a4.What did the experiment of the Nerum oleaner tree show?A.How leaves of trees can produce electricity.B.How hybrid trees can transfer wind into electricity.C.How electricity produced by leaves can be harvested.D.How natural leaves can be combined with artificial ones.5.October 30 It's the annual Downtown Santa Cruz Trick orTreat!

I was skinny as a French green bean and with a mouth filled with bad grammar. I usually watched TV or played outside without other peers around until my mother got home from the factory where she ironed pants. The job had provided her with a social life independent from Daddy. She married him when she was 14 just to get away from her own abusive father.Then came my big year in my small world: my alcoholic and depressed father died of a heart attack in front of me. In spite of the financial problem, my mother still sent me to school when I was 8. I clearly remembered it was a fall day. I returned home from school and shouted, “Mama, Mama, look! I learned to write like a grown-up todayShe reached slowly for the white paper. She stared at the huge cursive(草书的) writing on it, and I assumed she was reading the simple words like “school” and “ horse ”. Suddenly,she pulled me to the couch and said, sniffing, "Honey, I don’t know how to read or write,hut I decide to learn." I stared at her in shock.She took advantage of every chance to learn. She read words from billboards, and started picking up words from newspapers,magazines and so on. Gradually, her words accumulated. She couldn't understand most of the big words yet, but she started to know more of what was going on in the world past the Neshoba county line.Years passed and my mothers literacy greatly improved. A new world was opening to her. In my eyes, my mother was the smartest person I knew, and I meant it. She had taught me nothing was impossible in front of a determined heart, and I cherished it as much as I loved every piece of her.1.What was the autho r’s childhood life like?A.Orderly.B.Lonely.C.Colorful.D.Respectful.2.What did the "big year” mean in the boy's eyes?A.He could attend school.B.His father quitted drinking alcohol.C.His mother got supported financially.D.He no longer got blame from his father.3.What can we learn about the mothers experience?A.She spent much time on social life.B.Her life was dependent on her husband.C.She made full use of all sources to learn words.D.Her decision to learn was opposed by her son.4.What can be the best title for the text?A.No Pain, No GainB.Practice Makes PerfectC.The Best Memory I HaveD.The Smartest Woman I Know7. Dog owners swear that their furry best friend is in tune with their emotions. Now it seems this feeling of interspecies connection is real : dogs can smell your emotional state, and adopt your emotions as their own.Science had already shown that dogs can see and hear the signs of human emotions, says Biagio D’Aniello of the University of Naples" Federico II" Italy. But nobody had studied whether dogs could pick up on olfactory (嗅觉的) evidence from humans. ‘‘The role of the olfactory system has been largely underestimated(低估), maybe because our own species is more focused on the visual system,,’ says D’Aniello. However, dogs' sense of smell is far superior to ours.D'Aniello and his colleagues tested whether dogs could sniff out human emotions by smell alone. First, human volunteers watched videos designed to cause fear or happiness,or a neutral (中立的)response, and the team collected samples of their sweat. Next, the researchers presented these samples to domestic flogs, and monitored the dogs' behaviours and heart rates. Dogs exposed to fear smells showed more signs of stress than those exposed to happy or neutral smells. They also had higher heart rates, and sought more comfort from their owners and made less social contact with strangers.We've always known that dogs collect information about their social partners through different sensory channels to decide how to respond to situations, says Marta Gacsi of EotvosLorand University in Budapest. “However, it is not easy to examine such processes so that we can unfold the truth and separate the channels," explains Gacsi.1.Why has the role of the olfactory system been underestimated?A.Dogs’ sense of smell is far superior to ours.B.Humans' sense of smell is far superior to dogs'.C.Dogs are more focused on the visual system.D.Humans are more focused on the visual system.2.What did D'Aniello and his colleagues want to prove?A.Dogs can pick up on olfactory evidence from humans.B.Dogs can see and hear the signs of human emotions.C.Dogs can sniff out human emotions by smell.D.Dogs exposed to fear smells show more signs of stress.3.What is the last step of their test?A.Designing videos.B.Collecting samples.C.Presenting samples.D.Observing reactions.4.What can be a suitable title for the text?A.Dogs Are Our Social PartnersB.Dogs Really Can Smell Our FearC.Dogs Are Emotionally IntelligentD.Dogs Will React to Our Emotions8.Many of us notice that we act differently when we've hungry. You might get more easily annoyed or find it more challenging to focus. A new study has found a surprising way that hunger influences us: It makes us less morally disapproving.The study, led by Carmelo Vicario, explored how motivational states affect morality. Specifically, they were interested in how hunger might influence moral judgments. Earlier research has found, for example, that watching films of ethical violations caused participants to eat less after viewing the videos. Watching actions they disapproved of reduced their appetite.The paper, called “The Effect of Hunger and Satiety(饱足) in the Judgment of Ethical Violations” questions whether the reverse is also true. Could a reduc ed appetite make people more disapproving of moral violations? They invited 53 participants to their study and divided them into two groups. Researchers found something interesting: Hungry participants were more forgiving. Another case from the study :"A disease is killing millions of people across the world. Dr. Jones has developed two substances in his home laboratory. He knows that one of them is a vaccine(疫苗) and the other contains a deadly poison, but he is not sure which one. Dr. Jones has two patients with him under his care, and the only way to identify the vaccine is to inject each one with a different substance. If Dr. Jones injects the substances, one of his patients will die but he will save millions of lives with the vaccine. If he does not, the epidemic will continue spreading, and people will die. "Participants were more forgiving of Dr. Jones and the other characters they read about if their appetite was greater. People who had recently eaten were more disapproving. As theresearchers put it, research suggests "bodily states might affect mental states". When we are in a motivational state of hunger, we become less morally disapproving. Morality, this research suggests, might be a luxury that only those who have their needs met can afford.1.What do we know from the new study?A.Morally disapproving makes us angry.B.We tend to do wrong things when hungry.C.Hunger is responsible for wrong decisions.D.Being full enough is a good way to focus.2.Why did Vicario's team conduct the research?A.To compare with the study done before.B.To test the effects of hunger on moral judgments.C.To analyse the way how hunger is influenced.D.To find the relationship between motivation and morality.3.What was shown in the case in Paragraph 4?A.The dilemma exists in it.B.Two poisons are used.C.Patients were injected vaccine.D.Participants will die immorally.4.According to the text, what should people do when they want to apologize?A.Forgive themselves first.B.Do it before breakfast.C.Make their needs met.D.Keep a good state of mind.二、七选五9.根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空内处的最佳选项。

English-language learner in school and had to work very hard.After finishing high school,it took me eight years to graduate from University,while working full time at night.I started out as an aerospace(航空宇宙)engineer and changed into marketing, working at Hewlett-Packard and IBM for most of my career.Then I became a financial adviser,but eventually didn't find it satisfying enough.I had always dreamed of teaching children with a background like mine,and I was59years old,so l knew it was now or never.I found out about the EnCorps STEM Teachers Program in California,which would allow me to explore the possibilityof becoming a science,technology,engineering,or math teacher in a high-needs middle or high school.I quickly applied and was accepted.My first job was the hardest assignment(任务)you can get.I spent my first year there teaching math in a middle school,and the following two years I taught at the Academy of Science&Engineering.When I spotted a job opening within the high school network Soledad Enrichment Action and I saw the students,I knew it's where I wanted to work.I'm in my third year there,and I love it.It's so much more satisfying than what I used to do

annoyed by it,experts suggest summer is the best season to discharge (排放)your body’s toxins(毒素)and recover your energy.One popular option is hot-stone massage(按摩).Therapists use smooth and heated stones,usually river rocks,to massage certain parts of the body,or place them on key points of the body.The warmth of the hot stones will improve blood circulation and also help relax muscles,while sweating is also believed to be good for discharging the body’s toxins.Another popular option is hot-stone baths.The hot-stone bath will help the body discharge toxins and humidity(湿气)that accumulated during the last winter. Summer is the best season to build a good body.Rather than use water or steam to heat and wash the body,people simply wear a coat or something comfortable,and then lie on heated stone tablets made of hot stones,which are warmed to around45oC. The body will gradually warm up and blood circulation will also be improved.More sweat will come out quickly.The sweat is smooth and fresh,not smelly like that released after sports activities.Such baths bring a number of health benefits,such as anti-aging,improved blood circulation and stress relief.The slimming effect of dieting can even be promoted.Using hot stones for healing dates back to ancient times,but the modern renewal of hot-stone massage is generally credited to Mary Nelson,a native of Tucson, Arizona,America,whose trademark is“LaStone Therapy”.The therapy is gaining wide popularity with many people,especially those who have jobs in cool air-conditioned rooms.The hot-stone therapy can help cure many diseases,including back pain.1.What do people use to release toxins in our body according to the text?A.Swimming in white water.B.Living in cold winter.C.Lying on the warm beds.D.Discharging lots of sweat.2.What can we know from the text?A.People should take advantage of summer to improve their health.B.There are no toxins and humidity in the body in summer.ing water of about45oC to wash the body is good for the health.D.Sports have greater effects on the health than hot-stone massage.3.What can be learned about the hot-stone therapy?A.It was invented by Mary Nelson,an American.B.It successfully cured many people of cancer.C.It is popular with people because of its excellent effects.D.It can help people avoid sweating too much in hot summer.4.Which of the following could be the best title for the text?A.The origin and development of the hot-stone therapyB.A healthy and comfortable lifestyleC.How to live comfortably in summerD.The amazing functions of the hot-stone therapy4、Auld Lang Syne is a song that everyone drunkenly sings,which marks the start to a brand new year.No one ever seems to know the words(something about forgetting old acquaintances?)or what they mean(why would we want to forget people?),but,in America,it's as much a part of New Years'tradition as wine.But why?The lyrics(歌词)to the song come from a poem written by the great Scottish poet Robert Bums in1788.Its title is believed to be an old Scottish way of saying “a long time ago.’’Phrases like“In the days of auld lang syne”also appear in other Scottish fairy tales and poems,usually as a way of saying“Once Upon a Time.”While it still causes confusion,it is believed that the opening lines of the song are meant to be rhetorical(夸张的);“Should auld acquaintance be forgotten,and never brought to mind?Should auld acquaintance be forgotten,and auldlang syne?”therefore means we should have a drink in honor of whatever is passing, and remember old friends.When the Scots immigrated to America in the19th century,they brought the song with them.But its great popularity can be largely due to the Canadian bandleader Guy Lombardo.In1965,he explained how he himself came to associate the song with the end of the year to Life magazine:“Auld Lang Syne is our theme song—and was long before anyone ever heard us on the radio.In our particular part of western Ontario,where there’s a large Scottish population,it was traditional for bands to end every dance with Auld Lang Syne.We didn't think it was known here.If you want to see the singer in action,check out his final performance on the eve of1977,after performing for48years in a row.1.How might people feel when first hearing the song Auld Lang Syne?A.Confused.B.Moved.C.Energetic.fortable.2.Why do people sing Auld Lang Syne when New Year is coming?A.To hope for good luck.B.To celebrate the New Year.C.In honor of Robert Bums.D.In memory of the past.3.Why is Guy Lombardo mentioned in the text?A.He created the song Auld Lang Syne.B.He made the song Auld Lang Syne more popular.C.He brought the song Auld Lang Syne to America.D.He was the first to sing the song Auld Lang Syne.4.What might be the best title for the text?A.What does Auld Lang Syne Mean?B.Who Makes Auld Lang Syne Popular?C.How does Auld Lang Syne Come into Being?D.Why do People Sing Auld Lang Syne on New Year Eve?5、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。
