She also believes in “Women’ s Liberation(解放)”.“I don’t wish that I were a man,” she says, “and I don’t think many women do. But I do wish that people would stop looking down upon us women.

In the last thirty years, b usiness contacts between Japan and the West have become very important. Many foreign companies now have offices in J apan as well as Japanese businessmen do business around t he world.Difference between Japanese and Western ways of doing bus iness, however, often bewilders the foreign businessmen and making doing business in Japan difficult for foreigners. An Am erican businessman, for example, wants to start talking busin ess immediately. He wants quick decisions. He does not wait.A Japanese, on the other hand, likes to arrive at decision gra dually after giving him a great deal of thought.Another thing foreign businessmen have difficulty in understa nding is when a Japanese means “Yes” or “No”. This is becau se of cultural difference for a Japanese to say “No” directly. In English, it is easy to say “No” to something we do not want to do. But in Japan it is very difficult to say “No”. To refuse an invitation or a request with “No”, or a similar phrase, is felt to be impolite. It is thought to be selfish and unfriendly. So instead of saying “No” directly, the Japanese have developed many w ays to avoid saying “No”. These enable them to avoid hurting other people’s feeling. However, this often makes communica tion with the Japanese difficult for foreigners to understand and follow.31. From paragraph 1, we know that_______________.A. Japan is a very important country for businessmenB. Japanese businessmen do business all around the worldC. It is not always easy for foreigners to do business in JapanD. Business contacts between Japan and the West are import ant32. The underlined word in paragraph 2 probably means____ _______.A. tireB. puzzleC. interest D surprise33. From the passage, we can know that___________.A. American businessmen do things more quickly than Japan ese onesB. American businessmen like to say “Yes” and “No”C. Americans usually say what they are thinkingD. Americans do not express themselves clearly34. How many difficulties do the foreign businessmen in Japa n may have?A. ThreeB. FourC. FiveD. Two35. The main idea of the passage is that___________.A. foreign businessmen must be more politeB. Japanese businessmen are good at businessC. you must learn from Japan if you want to succeedD. foreign businessmen should first try to understand Japanes eCIs the woman pictured on the right more attractive than the wo man on the left?The photograph on the right was changed using a new "beaut y making" computer program, which uses a mathematical for mula involving 234 measurements of distances between facial features to get a theoretically more attractive version, while k eeping the basic appearance of the face unchanged. Unlike changes done in fashion magazine photos, wrinkles were not s moothed and hair color was not changed.The program is the latest attempt to combine beauty and scie nce, a subject that has drawn increasing academic interest in the last decade.Studies have shown there is surprising agreement among peo ple of different cultures about what makes a face attractive. M ost important is symmetry (匀称), along with youthfulness, skin smoothness and vivid eyes and hair color. Yet, like the many other scientific or mathemati cal attempts to define beauty, this software program raises co mplex and difficult questions about the understanding of beau ty."How can they prove something is more or less beautiful?" sai d Lois Banner, a history professor at Chicago University, who studies changing beauty standards. "There can never be a sin gle standard of beauty because so much of it is culturally influ enced."After viewing "before" and "after" photographs of different peo ple, Banner said the original faces were more attractive. "Irreg ular beauty is the real beauty," said Banner, adding that attem pts to measure beauty are driven by the media’s efforts to defi ne beauty and who is beautiful.Martina Eckstut, the woman whose photo was beautified for t his article, said she was struck by how different she looked. "I think the “after” picture looks great, but it doesn’t really look lik e me at all." She added, "I would like to keep my original face. "For centuries people have tried to define a universal ideal of b eauty. "The first reaction we have to faces will be based on fa ce symmetry." said Alexander Nehamas, a professor who has written about beauty. "But in real life we don’t just see a face. We see faces as people express their emotions and ideas, a nd all those aspects of the face are essential to our deciding whether a face or a person is beautiful."36. How does the program work to beautify a face?A. It changes the distances between facial features.B. It smoothes the skin and softens the color of the hair.C. It digitally repairs some obvious facial faults.D. It replaces the original face with a similar one.37. Banner believes that .A. there is no such thing as beautyB. efforts to develop a beauty measure should be encouragedC. the media is to blame for the failure to agree on beauty sta ndardsD. it is impossible to show that one thing is more beautiful tha n another38. When seeing the "after" picture, Martina Eckstut was .A. pleasantly surprised but thought she could look even betterB. eager to get her face changed although it didn’t look like he r at allC. amazed by the attractiveness but preferred not to have a di fferent faceD. confused by how different she looked and had no idea wha t to do39. According to the passage, which of the following statemen ts is TRUE?A. Beauty is mainly based on face symmetry.B. There is no single standard or definition of beauty.C. The program is likely to encourage people to change their appearance.D. Mathematics should be used to help us create beauty.40. The purpose of the passage is to .A. oppose the attempts to create artificial beautyB. introduce a beauty program and a discussion about beautyC. discuss what makes a person beautifulD. show how a beauty engine can beautify a person四、语言知识运用（共两节，满分45分）第一节完型填空（共20小题，每小题1.5分，满分30分）阅读短文，从短文各题后所给的四个选项选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项Back in my country, when I was a child, I used to go to “marke t day” with my mother.

More than 60 million of them are thrownaway each day. Many of the plastic bottles end up in landfills or are burned with other waste products.A San Francisco start-up company called Rothy’s, however, turns this plastic waste i nto environmentally friendly shoes. Rothy Martin is the compa ny’s co-founder. He explains how they turn plastic into soft material fo r your feet. They take the plastic, clean it, and break it down in to small pieces. Then they press it through a device that make s soft fibers. Those fibers are then combined, or knit together. This is done by a three-dimensional knitting machine. It is designed to reduce waste while making the shoes.The knitted fabric and the inner part of the shoes are then atta ched to the shoes’ outer part, called the sole(鞋底). This outer sole is also made from environmentally friendly material: responsibly sourced no-carbon rubber.Rothy’s shoes are sold online. They are flat shoes, with either a rounded or pointed toe. They come in different colors and d esigns. They cost either $125 or $145 per pair, depending on the design.After American actress Gwyneth Paltrow discovered them last year, the demand for the shoes grew.Martin says there is no shortage of material to fill that demand . “We’re not going to run out of water bottles any time soon. S o we have an infinite supply of material, and I think that bodes well for our future. ”When the environmentally friendly shoes wear out, customers can return them at no cost to a company that uses the recycl ed materials to make other products.For now, the shoes are only available to be shipped in the Uni ted States. However, the company says it will add internation al shipping in the near future.8. Which one is the right procedure of making shoes?①pressing small pieces②breaking down clean plastic bottles③knitting together ④cleaning plastic bottl es⑤attaching the knitted fabric, the inner part and the outer partA. ①②③④⑤B. ④②③①⑤C. ④②①③⑤D. ②①③④⑤9. Why did Rothy’s use a three-dimensional knitting machine to make shoes?A. Because it is easy to operate.B. Because it is cheaper than other machines.C. Because it is productive.D. Because it can reduce waste when making the shoes.10. What can be learned from the passage?A. This kind of shoes are sold in the shop.B. The shoes are environmentally friendly.C. Customers can return them with little money to a company.D. The shoes are available in the world.11. What’s the best title of the passage?A. How to recycle plastic bottlesB. Recycled bottles find new life on women’s feetC. How a new kind of shoes became a hitD. How to make environmentally friendly shoesDElephants have impressed us for centuries. They are big, clev er, and sociable. But what if someone told you that they may also hold the key to fighting cancer (癌症)?People have been wondering why elephants do not develop c ancer, even though they have lifespans (寿命) that are similar to humans, living for around 50 to 70 years .Now scientists believe they know why. A team at the Universit y of Chicago, US has found that elephants carry a large numb er of genes that stop tumors (肿瘤) from developing. To be precise, they found 20 copies of a n antitumor gene called TP53 in elephants. Most other specie s, including humans, only carry one copy.According to the research, which was recently published on th e online science network BioRxiv, the extra copies of the gen e improved the animal's sensitivity to DNA damage. This lets t he cells quickly kill themselves when damaged before they ca n go on to form deadly tumors.“An increased risk of developing cancer has stood in the way of the evolution of large body sizes in many animals,” study a uthor Dr. Vincent Lynch told The Guardian. If every living cell (细胞) has the same chance of becoming cancerous, large creatures with long lifespans like whales and elephants should hav e a greater risk of developing cancer than humans and mice d o. But across species, the risk of cancer does not show a con nection with body mass.This_phenomenon was found by Oxford University scientist Ri chard Peto in the 1970s and later named “Pet o's paradox”. Ev olutionary (进化的) biologists believe it results from larger animals using prote ction that many smaller animals do not. In the elephant's case , the making of TP53 is nature's way of keeping this species a live.The study also found that when the same genes were brought to life in mice, they had the same cancer resistance (抵抗) as elephants. This means researchers could use the disco very to develop new treatments that can help stop cancers fro m spreading or even developing in the first place.“Na ture has already figured out how to prevent cancer,” said J oshua Schiffman, an oncologist at the School of Medicine, University of Utah, US.“It's up to us to learn how different animals tackle (处理) the problem so we can use those strategies to prevent ca ncer in people.”12．Why are elephants unlikely to develop cancer?A．They have a large body size.B. Their genes suffer no DNA damage.C. Certain genes in their body kill existing tumors.D. They carry many genes that keep tumors from developing. 13．According to Dr. Vincent Lynch, what has been a risk in t he evolution of large animals?A. A risk of deadly tumors.B. Human behavior.C. Extreme weather.D. Cells killing themselves. 14．What does the underlined expression “This phenomenon ” in the sixth paragraph refer to?A. Larger animals have protection from TP53.B. The risk of cancer is not related to body size.C. The larger animals are, the bigger risk of cancer they have.D. Larger animals suffer the same risk of cancer as smaller o nes do.15．We can conclude from the last three paragraphs that ___ _____.A. humans are expected to stop cancer in the near futureB. depending on nature is not enough to fight against cancerC. this new treatment is more effective than the present onesD. the TP53 genes have proven useful in stopping cancer inmice第二部分：完形填空 (共20小题，每小题1.5分,满分30分) 阅读下面短文。

Culture.C. Technology.D. Sports.BIn her outstanding book, “Choose the Happiness Habit”, PamGolden wrote, “Take the story of two twin brothers for exampl e. One grew up and became an alcoholic (酒鬼), while the other became a successful businessman. When asked why he became an alcoholic, the alcoholic replied, “Be cause my father was a drunk.” However, the successful busin essman’s answer was also “Because my father was a drunk.”when asked why he succeeded. The same background. The s ame upbringing. However, the results were quite different. Wh y? The reason is that they had different choices. The brothers chose different thoughts which formed the situations they fou nd themselves in at last, so they had different experiences. There was a time in my life when I thought difficulty was due t o “bad luck”. Have you ever heard the saying “When it rains, it pours”? That was my answer when others asked me how thin gs were going on when I was in trouble. So what do you think I got? “RAIN”. More and more “RAIN”. I couldn’t understand w hy bad luck was always with me.Pam Golden says, “You’re either living in the problem or you’r e living in the solution.” Now, when I’m faced with what I used to think was a negative situation, I use a different way to think about it. I force myself to replace those negative thoughts that make me lose heart in my mind with positive thoughts which encourage me to fight against the difficulty bravely. Sometimes I write down some ideas that may be a solution, which I com bine with the lessons I have learned from the bad situations a nd the difficulties that troubled me in the past, and often, I find a solution to the problem soon. It seems that I should thank t he difficulty I met with. The RAIN that poured in my world has become great experiences that provide me with valuable expe rience, from which I can benefit.Now, it doesn’t“rain” as much in my life as it used to. In fact, most days are beautiful, cloudless and sunny! Sometimes I do get a rain, but I think it makes me stronger just like the rain h elps plants grow up.5. The example of the twin brothers shows that ________.A. upbringing makes a big differenceB. education d ecides a person’s futureC. making good choices is the most importantD. it is luck tha t leads to success6. What does “RAIN” mentioned in the second paragraph refe r to?A. Water.B. Good luck.C. Success.D. Difficulty.7. What is talked about in the third paragraph?A. How the author collects useful experience.B. How the author lives in the problem.C. How the author gets help from others.D. How the author deals with difficulty now.8. Now, the author’s attitude towards “RAIN” is ________.A. negativeB. unclearC. positiveD. unknownCHere is a record of the discussion about AI (artificial intelligen ce) conducted by several scientists:Scientist A: I would say that we are quite a long way off devel oping the AI, though I do think it will happen within the next thi rty or forty years. We will probably remain in control of technol ogy and it will help us solve many of the world’s problems. Ho wever, no one really knows what will happen if machines bec ome more intelligent than humans. They may help us, ignore us or destroy us. I tend to believe AI will have a positive influe nce on our future lives, but whether that is true will be partly u p to us.Scientist B: I have to admit that the potential consequences of creating something that can match or go beyond human intell igence frighten me. Even now, scientists are teaching comput ers how to learn on their own. At some point in the near future , their intelligence may well take off and develop at an ever-increasing speed. Human beings evolve biologically very slowly and we would be quickly substituted. In the short term, ther e is the danger that robots will take over millions of human job s, creating a large underclass of unemployed people. This co uld mean large-scale poverty and social unrest. In the long term machines mi ght decide the world would be better without humans. Scientist C: I’m a member of the Campaign to Stop Killer Rob ots. Forget the movie image of a terrifying Terminator stampin g on human skulls and think of what’s happening right now: m ilitary machines like drones, gun turrets and sentry robots are already being used to kill with very little human input. The nex t step will be autonomous “murderbots” following orders but fi nally deciding who to kill on their own. It seems clear to me th at this would be extremely dangerous for humans. We need t o be very cautious indeed about what we ask machines to do.9. What is Scientist B worried about?A. AI technology will destroy the earth.B. Humans will be unhappy without machines.C. Computers can’t think by themselves.D. Robots will take the place of humans.10. What does the underlined word “this” in the last paragraph refer to?A.“Murderbots” will be against humans’ orders.B. We forget the movie image of a terrifying Terminator.C. I launched the campaign to Stop Killer Robots.D. “Murderbots”can’t decide by themselves.11. Which statement is CORRECT according to the record?A. Scientist A thinks AI technology will never develop.B. The employment will be affected by AI technology in the fut ure.C. “Murderbots” will follow the orders of their manufacturers in the wars.D. All the three scientists agree that AI technology will benefit human beings.12. Who agree(s) AI has more negative aspects than positive aspects?A. Scientist A.B. Scientists B & A.C. Scientist B.D. Scientists B & C.DBissel is a small village of the West Sahara. It lies next to a l.5-square-kilometer oasis(绿洲), from where three days and nights are generally required to go out of the desert. However, before Ken Levin discovered it in 1926, none of the Bissel villagers had ever walked out of t he desert. Reportedly, they were not unwilling to leave this ba rren land. Many had previously tried but failed, always someh ow finding themselves back at the oasis after several days of t rying to walk out.When interviewed by Ken Levin, an expert at the British Ro yal College of Sciences, the villagers explained that no matter which direction they walked it always brought them back to th e village.Why couldn’t the Bissel villagers walk out of the desert? Lev in was very puzzled. He had, by himself, managed to walk nor th from the village and reach the nearest town in three and a half days. He decided to carry out an experiment to solve the mystery. He and a Bissel villager called Argutel, would walk o ut of the desert together. They prepared enough water for a h alf-a-month journey and two camels. But this time Ken Levin didn't bring his compass. Levin would follow Argutel.Ten days later, they had walked for about 500 miles but we re still in the desert. On the 11th morning, an oasis came into their view. They were back at Bissel. Levin now understood w hy the Bissel people couldn’t escape the desert. They had noknowledge of the North Star, which had for centuries provided sailors and other travelers with a point of direction. In the des ert, if a person goes forward relying only on their senses, they will not be able to travel in a straight line. Rather they will trav el in a very large circle and eventually track back to where the y began. Levin explained to Argutel the function of the North Star and said, “As long as you rest in the daytime and walk to wards the brightest star at night, you would be able to walk ou t of the desert.” Argutel did as he was told. Three days later, h e came to the edge of the desert.Now in the West Sahara, Bissel has become a bright pearl, where tens of thousands of tourists come every year. Argutel’s bronze statue stands in the center of the town. On its base a re the words: ___________.13. Villagers in Bissel had never walked beyond the desert be cause ________.A. they had no method to find their way outB. they had a fear of the outside worldC. they had no desire to leave the oasisD. they were discouraged by their failures14. It can be inferred from the passage that ________.A. the use of a compass was necessary to walk out of the desertB. tourism in Bissel has been greatly developed and improve dC. Argutel became the leader of Bissel after his returnD. Ken Levin didn’t walk south because it would take more d ays15. Which of the following can most probably be found at the base of Argutel’s statue?A. A new life starts from the fixed direction.B. A long journey starts with the first stepC. Where there is a will, there is a way.D. Two heads are better than one.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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

"We basically noticed that some of the extra food from the dining hall was going to waste at the end of the day. And we met with the dining services and asked them whether it would be okay if instead of throwing out the food we could donate it. And they were on board." he said.So 18 months ago, the students began what they call the Food Recovery Network. Each night, volunteers would show up at a campus dining hall to pick up leftovers and deliver them to area shelters and food banks. So far, they have donated more than 23,000 kilos of food that would otherwise have been thrown out.Nationwide, $165 billion worth of food is wasted each year, according to the National Resources Defense Council. Spokesman Bob Keefe says that is about 40% of the country's entire food production. 4t If we can reduce our waste in this country by 15%, we can feed 25 million hungry Americans. That is a hugebenefit. That is what programs like this Food Recovery Network are doing. " he said.Christian Life Center is one of the beneficiaries of the students' efforts. Ben SI ye, the senior pastor （牧师）,said, 44It has been just amazing to see these students take their own time, their own vehicles and own gas money and be able to make an effort like this. Each week we are able with this food probably to feed over hundred people.”The University of Maryland's Food Recovery Network now has 200 volunteers and the program has expanded to 18 schools across the country. 4t I want to grow 18 chapters to a thousand chapters within five years.

Activities are planned in more than twenty countries to get millions of people in the developing world to wash their hands with soap.Experts say people around the world wash their hands but very few use soap at so-called critical moments. These include after using the Loilet, after cleaning a baby and before .touching food.Global Hand Washing Day is the idea of the Public-Private Partnership for Hand Washing with Soap. The goal, they say, is to create a culture of hand washing with soap. The organizers say all soaps are equally effective at removing disease-causing germs （病菌）.They say the correct way to wash hands is to wet your hands with a small amount of water and cover them with soap. Rub it into all areas, including under the fingernails. Then, rinse well under running water. Finally, dry your hands with a clean cloth.The Partnership says soap is important because it increases the time that people spend washing. Soapalso helps to break up the dirt that holds most of the germs. And it usually leaves a pleasant smell, which increases the likelihood that people will wash again.It also says washing with soap before eating and after using the toilet could save more lives than an.y medicine. It could help reduce cases of diarrhea （痢疾），which is the second leading cause of child deaths, killing more than one and a half million children a year, by almost half.26.The Partnership creates Global Hand Washing Day to.A.call on people to wash handsB.help the developing countriesC.make a culture of hand washing in the third worldD.promote the importance of soap in hand washing27.The following facts can explain why soap is important EXCEPT thatA.soap gets people into the habit of washing handsB.soap helps to get rid of more germs off handsC.soap attracts people to do more hand washingD.soap gives people a longer hand washing time28.According to the last paragraph, diarrhea is a disease that.A.kills half of the kids in developing countriesB.can be prevented by washing hands with soapC.causes the greatest number of child deathsD.makes soap stand out in hand washing第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分一）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。

After surviving an assassination (暗杀) at the age of 15, she co-founded the Malala Fund with her father to create a world whe re girls everywhere could be educated without fear. Her fund supports every girl’s right to 12 years of free, safe, quality edu cation and works mainly in countries such as Pakistan, Afgha nistan, India and .Malala believes girls are the best investment (投资) in the future peace and further development of our world. I t will never be a wrong choice to spend money on girls.In 2014 the Norwegian Nobel Committee awarded Kailash Sa tyarthi and Malala Yousafzai the Nobel Peace Prize for their fi ght against the suppression (镇压) of children and young people and for the right of all childre n to education. Malala became the youngest-ever Nobel Peace Prize winner.Accepting the award, Malala said, “This award is not just for me. It is for those forgotten children who want education. It is f or those frightened children who want peace. It is for those voi celess children who want change.”In her new picture book, Malala’s Magic Pencil, Malala returns to her childhood to teach young readers about the importanc e of hope, believing in magic, and making the world a better pl ace.Malala’s first book, her personal life story co-written with Christina Lamb, I Am Malala: How One Girl Stood Up for Education and Changed the World, was published in 2 013.

Such seems to be the case, however, as methods for growing coffe e plants have gradually changed over time.Coffee plants were first discovered growing in Africa hundreds of years ago. The plants grew under a wide cover of forests, which protected the coffee plants’ leaves from the burning sun . As coffee was introduced to other countries, farmers would n aturally try to grow the plants in the shade of tall trees. These trees provided more than shade for coffee plants; they were al so home for many species of birds, insects, and other plants. Over the past 30 to 40 years, people developed a new kind of coffee plant, one which grows well in open sunlight. Sun-grown coffee produced two times more coffee than shade-grown coffee in the same amount of time and space. As a res ult, the growing need for coffee makes the sun-grown method appear to be the best way to grow coffee. However, this newer method has some unexpected results. Fi rst, the lack of tree cover leaves the land open to heavy rainfa ll, which can wash away the soil’s nutrients (营养物质). This necessitates an increased use of fertilizers and additives, which is likely to create health risks. Second, as forests are taken down to make way for sun-grown coffee plants, native and migratory birds no longer hav e a home. This is threatening many species, and the effect is now being examined and recorded by ornithologists, who are discovering sharp falls in some species that travel to the north ern each year. Finally, more pesticides (农药) are used in the sun-grown method, all of which have a bad influence on both the e nvironment and the long-term health of the coffee plants themselves.Today, as more people recognize the problems of coffee grow n in the sun, perhaps they will be willing to pay the higher pric es, encouraging coffee growers to return to the more natural method of producing this worldwide product.28. Compared with shade-grown coffee, sun-grown coffee _____.A. grows more slowlyB. tastes much betterC. is more productiveD. is more expensive29. What do ornithologists most probably do?A. Protect forests.B. Grow coffee.C. Make pesticides.D. Study birds.30. What does the author want coffee farmers to do?A. Grow shade-grown coffee. B. Improve coffee production.C. Sell coffee at lower prices.D. Plant a new kind of co ffee.31. The text mainly explains the connection between _____.A. coffee and forestsB. coffee production and the environmentC. coffee farmers and animalsD. coffee and sunlightDAsking for help is a sign of strength rather than weakness. In American culture, the independent individual is seen as their i deal. As the University of Missouri at St. Louis states on its w ebsite under the heading Key American Values, “Americans h ave been trained since very early in their lives to consider the mselves as separate individuals who are responsible for theirown situations in life and their own destinies.” The value also makes them think they can do everything themselves, and ma kes them feel badly about asking for help when they need it. And when it comes to work situations, when they think about asking for help there, sometimes they fear that a request for h elp would make them look inept. While this has always been t rue for men, many women in the workplace have felt the need to try twice as hard as their male colleagues and do twice as much to get just as far and to prove their worth. Sometimes w hen we think about asking for help, our inner voices tell us, “S ee, if you admit you can’t do this on your own, they’ll see you f or the imposter(骗子) you really are.”But the fact is, even though individualism is on the rise, we ca n’t do everything by ourselves and we shouldn’t try.Apple founder Steve Jobs once told the Santa Clara Valley Hi storical Association about the power of asking for help, and h ow he “never found anybody who didn’t want to help me when I asked them for help”. He said, at the age of 12, he called Bil l Hewlett, co-founder of Hewlett-Packard, on the phone after getting his number from the phon e book and asking him for spare parts so he could build a freq uency counter(计频器). And Hewlett agreed and offered young Jobs a summer job assembling frequency counters.“If yo u’re afraid of failing, you won’t get very far,” Jobs said. 32．What is the first paragraph mainly about?A．What key American values are.B．Asking for help is a sign of strength.C．Why Americans refuse to ask for help.D．Americans are responsible for their life.33．Which of the following can replace the underlined word “i nept” in Paragraph 2?A．impolite B．ImpatientC．impossible D．incompetent34．What can be learned from this cultural phenomenon? A．Americans suffer a lot from mutual distrust. B．Americans lay emphasis on individual values. C．Americans should learn to build up confidence. D．Americans see weakness as a sign of strength. 35．What can we learn from Jobs’ words in the last paragrap h?A．Don’t hesitate to ask for assistance.B．Be brave to try whatever you want.C．Failure is the mother of success.D．Learn to cooperate with others.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。

In an open letter published on Tuesday, Berners-Lee said that the web was used by half the world's population.Berners-Lee said the web had clearly created great opportunities for humans to progress and had made life easier for millions of people. Actually, it also has offered opportunities to groups traditionally not heard a new voice in society. However, he added that the web had also provided new ways for cheats to commit crimes (犯罪).“Against the background of news stories about how the web is misused, it's understandable that many people feel afraid and unsure if the web is really a force for good,” he wrote.Berners-Lee created a group called the World Wide Web Foundation. He islooking for help from governments, companies and people to become more involved in shaping the web to do more good for humans. His actual plan is called the “Contract (合同) for the Web”.Under this contract, governments are called on to take steps to makesure all people can connect to the Internet and that personal privacy is respected. Businesses are asked to keep the Internet prices low so more people can use the web. In addition, companies should respect privacy and develop technologies that aim to put people first.The plan also calls on people to create materials for the web and work with others to make sure that is rich, quality information for everyone. Besides, people should seek to “build strong communities that respect personal speech and human equality.” “The path to make the Internet better is the responsibility of everyone who uses it,” Bermers-Lee added, “Making big changes will not be easy, but will be very well worth it in the end.”4. What does Berners-Lee think of the World Wide Web?A. It is his greatest regret.B. It stops the progress of humans.C. It needs improving.D. It does more harm than good.5. What's wrong with the web according to Berners-Lee?A. It is misused for bad purposes.B. It is misunderstood by all people.C. It blocks out a new voice in society.D. It is expensive for half the world’s population.6. What are governments called on to do under the “Contract for the Web”?A. Put technology first.B. Create materials for the web.C. Popularize the Internet.D. Make the Internet free of charge.7. What should people do with the Internet in Berners-Lee's opinion?A. Be responsible for it.B. Absolutely reject it.C. Completely rely on it.D. Be unconcerned about it.CJack was 11 months old in the spring of 2015 when his parents, Erika and Christopher, recognized his development was not progressing as it should. The feeling was familiar to the couple. Just a few months earlier, Jack’s brother Chase, who is 16 months older, had been diagnosed with autism(自闭症) after he did not reach motion and language standards as expected.Jack’s behaviors were similarly delayed, and his parents moved quickly to seek help. Today, Jack is 5 — he celebrated his birthday on May 13 — and he can speak in full sentences and read. After two years at a preschool that specializes in services for children with developmental disabilities, he will start kindergarten in theSmithtownschool district in September. “Our family’s experience is a good example of the power and effectiveness of early intervention. The services our boys have received made all the difference,” the parents said.According to scientists, autism can be detected at 18 months or younger, and by age 2 a diagnosis can be considered “very reliable.” The parents said they were happy with Chase’s success at the learning center, but still had concerns for Jack because he was not speaking. Developing social and communication skills can be among the greatest challenge for individuals with autism, even if they are able to say a few words early on. “We didn’t know if he was ever going to talk,” Erika said. “That was my biggest fear. We just didn’t know.”Looking ahead, the parents are cautiously optimistic about Jack’s next educational move. He doesn’t handle change well, they said, and he likes to know his routine. Still, they expressed confidence that his time at the learning center has given him the skills he needs to be successful.8. How did Jack’s parents know he suffered from autism?A. They found the baby clever.B. They judged by their experience.C. They found he didn’t develop.D. They checked on him in the hospital.9. What did the parents think of the early intervention?A. It made no difference to the babies.B. It benefitted the babies greatly.C. It got their babies more disabled.D. It helped their babies speak fluently.10. What can we learn from the third paragraph?A. Autism can be confirmed at 18 months old.B. Jack’s parents were confident about his motor skills.C. Chase’s parents were doubtful about his developmentD. Jack’s parents worried about his language skills most.11. What is the text mainly talking about?A. Autism can be curedif parents take actions early.B. Parents should be confident about their children’s future.C. Early intervention in autism could improve children’s life.D. Communication skills should be developed as early as possible.DThe history of the flying car is almost as old as that of powered flight itself. It started with the Curtiss Autoplane of 1917, an awkward-looking machine with removable wings. It never left the ground. Later machines made it into the skies but failed to take off commercially. Money is now pouring into flying taxis. On March 30th Lilium, a German company that develops them, announced a merger with SPAC, an acquisition company that values it at $3. 3 bn -- a sign that investors think the business will fly.Thanks to better batteries and lightweight materials, some of them are ready to carry passengers. Up to 300 firms are working on short-range battery-powered craft that take off and land vertically. Carmakers, tech companies and others are investing money into the field. The government isoffering a glide pathto certification.America's Federal Aviation Administration is engaged in the process with around 30 firms, says Natasha Santha of LEK, a consulting company.Midway between a cab and a helicopter, flying taxis have distinct advantages over both. Quiet electric motors allow them to operate frequent services. They require only a patch of concrete to land, unlike noisy helicopters, which face severe operating restrictions in most cities. They can fly four or five times faster than a cab can drive and do not get stuck in traffic. Prices can be kept low by ride-sharing. Joby, based inCalifornia, says its five-seatermachine will enter commercial service in 2024. The firm calculates the initial cost of around $4 per person per mile may soon fall by 25%. A trip fromManhattanto JFK airport would then cost $30-40 per passenger.The real revolution will come when full autonomy takes out the cost of a pilot. Archer hopes to run such aircraft by 2028. They face fewer obstacles in the air than earth-bound cars do on the road; airliners mostly fly on autopilot as it is. Still, as one industry insider puts it, it is probably best to accustom passengers and regulators to airborne taxis before getting rid of the driver.12. What can we learn from Paragraph 1?A. The flying car can date back to the 1920s.B. Investors see the potential of the business of the flying car.C. The flying car never left the ground successfully in history.D. A German company has launched a new flying car into the market.13. What does "offering a glide path" in Paragraph 2 probably refer to?A. Giving the green light.B. Providing timely assistance.C. Presenting legal guidance.D. Conducting strict management.14. Which of the following is the strength of flying taxis?A. Costing as little as cabs.B. Saving passengers from the traffic jam.C. Reducing air pollution.D. Having no operating restrictions.15. What can be inferred about the flying taxis from the last paragraph?A. They will develop faster than cars.B. Passengers will quickly get used to taking them.C. The regulators will take measures to promote them.D. Autopilot flying taxis will probably replace those with pilots.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。

2019-2020学年西北大学附属中学高三英语第二次联考试卷及答案第一部分阅读（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 once taught in a small private school. Each morning at nine o’clock all the students, ranging in age from three to seven years old, gathered in the Great Room for a warm-up in preparation for the day.One morning the headmistress made an announcement to all the children gathered,“Today we begin a great experiment of the mind.” She held up two ivy(常春藤) plants, each potted in an identical container. She continued, “Do they look the same?”All the children nodded. So did I, for, in this way, I was alsoa child.“We will give the plants the same amount of light, the same amount of water, but not the same amount of attention,” She said. “Together we are going to see what will happen when we put one plant in the kitchen away from our attention and the other plant right here in this room. Each day for the next month, we shall sing to our plant in the Great Room and tell it how much we love it, and how beautiful it is. We will use our good minds to think good thoughts about it.”Four weeks later my eyes were as wide and disbelieving as the children’s. The kitchen plant was leggy and sick-looking, and it hadn’t grown at all. But the Great Room plant, which had been sung to and surrounded by positive thoughts and words, had increased threefold in size with dark leaves that were filled with energy.In order to prove the experiment, the kitchen ivy was brought to the Great Room to join the other ivy. Within three weeks, the second plant had caught up with the first ivy. Within four weeks, they could not be distinguished, one from the other.I took this lesson to heart and made it my own.1. Why did the headmistress do the experiment?A. She wanted to teach me a lesson.B. She expected the students to learn to grow plants.C. She meant to prove the impact of good minds on growth.D. She intended to show students how to save a sick-looking plant.2. What happened to the ivy in the kitchen at last?A. It stopped growing and died.B. It was leggy and sick with dark leaves.C. It looked almost the same as the other one.D. It grew better than the one in the Great Room.3. What can be a suitable title for the passage?A. Life Means GrowthB. Things Grow with LoveC. Equality Makes a DifferenceD. Positive Thoughts Really CountBWhen I was seven my father gave me a Timex, my first watch. I loved it, wore it for years, and haven’t had another one since it stopped ticking a decade ago. Why? Because I don’t need one. I have a mobile phone and I’m always near someone with an iPod or something like that. All these devices (装置) tell the time — which is why, if you look around, you’ll see lots of empty wrists; sales of watches to young adults have been going down since 2007. This is ridiculous. Expensive cars go faster than cheap cars. Expensive clothes hang better than cheap clothes. But these days all watches tell the time as well as all other watches. Expensive watches come with extra functions — but who needs them? How often do you dive to 300 metres into the sea or need to find your direction in the area around the South Pole? So why pay that much of five years’ school fees for watches that allow you to do these things?If justice were done, the Swiss watch industry should have closed down when the Japanese discovered how to make accurate watches for a five-pound note. Instead the Swiss reinvented the watch, with the aid of millions of pounds’ worth of advertising, as a message about the man wearing it. Rolexes are for those who spend their weekends climbing icy mountains; a Patek Philippe is for one from a rich or noble family; a Breitling suggests you like to pilot planesacross the world.Watches are now classified as “investments” (投资). A 1994 Philippe recently sold for nearly £ 350,000, while 1960s Rolexes have gone from £ 15,000 to £ 30,000 plus in a year. But a watch is not an investment. It’s a toy for self-satisfaction, a matter of fashion. Prices may keep going up — they’ve been rising for 15 years. But when of fashion. Prices may keep going up — they’ve been rising for 15 years. But when fashion moves on, the owner of that £ 350,000 beauty will suddenly find his pride and joy is no more a good investment than my childhood Times.4. The author don’t need another watch because ________.A. he don’t like wearing a watchB. he has mobile phone and can ask someone for helpC. he has no sense of timeD. he thinks watches too expensive5. It seems ridiculous to the writer that________.A. expensive watches with unnecessary functions still sellB. expensive clothes sell better than cheap onesC. cheap cars don’t run as fast as expensive onesD. people dive 300 metres into the sea6. What can be learnt about Swiss watch industry from the passage?A. It wastes a huge amount of money in advertising.B. It’s hard for the industry to beat its competitors.C. It targets rich people as its potential customers.D. It’s easy for theindustry to reinvent cheap watches.7. Which would be the best title for the passage?A. Timex or Rolex?B. My Childhood TimexC. Watches? Not for Me!D. Watches----a Valuable CollectionCAbout a billion birds die from flying into buildings each year inNorth America. Suspicions havebeen that birds may regard the open areas behind glass as safe passageways. Or they may mistake the reflected trees for the real thing.Researchers would like to reduce collisions, which requires a solid understanding about what makes a bird more or less likely to die by crashing into a building in the first place.“There was ly little known at a broad scale. Previous studies were at one small study site.'' Jared Elmore, a graduate student in natural resource ecology and management atOklahomaStateUniversity. So he and his colleagues used a previously created data set of building collisions for birds at 40 sites throughoutMexico,Canadaand theU.S.The first finding was obvious: bigger buildings with more glass kill more birds. But the details were more remarkable. "We found that life history predicted collisions. Migrants(候鸟), insect-eaters and woodland-inhabiting species collided more than their counterparts(同类).”Most migratory species travel at night, when lights near buildings can distract or disorient(使迷失方向)them.And Elmore thinks that insect-eating birds might be attracted to buildings because their insect prey(猎物)is attracted to the lights. He suspects that woodland species get tooled by the reflections of trees and bushes in the windows. The results are in the journal Conservation Biology.By understanding which birds are more likely to collide with buildings, researchers can perhaps determine the best way to adapt buildings, or their lighting, to help prevent such accidents. And by knowing risks, along with migration timing and behavior, building managers can better predict when birds are at their greatest danger - and improve lighting strategics accordingly.Elmore's next project will use radar to help predict bird migrations. " I think that would maybe go a long way in terms of providing information to people, to the public, to building managers, on when they can get the most benefit in terms of lights-out policies."8. What is the possible reason for birds' crashing into buildings?A. They didn't see the buildings.B. They took reflections for reality.C. They assumed the windows to be open.D. They considered buildings as safe routes.9. What is Jared Elmore's study different from the previous ones?A. It created a new data set.B. It went beyond national borders.C. It covered a wider range of sites.D. I’ll studied some specific bird species.10. What was the most noticeable finding of Jared Elmore's study?A. Migratory species travel at night.B. Birds tend to be misled by glasses.C. Bigger buildings cause more collisions.D. Birds living habits give rise to collisions.11. Which of the following can help reduce bird collision?A. Adjust the lightening system.B. Attach radars to each building.C. Adopt strict lights-out policies.D. Ban using glasses on buildings.DHumans have found an easy way to tell if others are lying. Recent research shows that the best way so far is being clever at how you ask questions and listen to the answers.Much of this research is based on the idea that telling a lie is simply harder mental work than telling the truth. Making up a story takes more effort than simply recording something that happened. And like a writer, a liar has to keep all the unreal details in his memory and sound believable when he explains them.One method that seems to work is asking them to tell their story in reverse order. This is harder when the story isn't true and makes it easier for you to tell they are lying. An even more basic way that helps is to just ask more questions, especially unexpected ones. Truth-tellers can easily find more to say, but it's a challenge for a liar to come up with something that's not in his prepared story.Researchers suggest that you shouldn't lay all your cards on the table at the start, but only gradually present what proof you have. The liars' stories may not agree with that proof, making it clear that they're lying.So it looks like there are ways to increase the chances of catching a liar; we've just been basing our methods on the wrong stories. Low-tech ways of causing people to make mistakes in conversation seem to work better than any science about eye movement or machines used to recognize a liar. To find a liar, watch less and listen more.12. Why does the author mention the writer?A. To show it's hard to make up lies.B. To show it's hard to recognise a liar.C. To show writers know liars best.D. To show writers are very clever.13. What do we know about liars?A. They often have much to say.B. They often ask many questions.C. They usually prepare a made-up story.D. They usually feel good about themselves.14. What advice is given to help people catch liars?A. Asking them to set their stories down.B. Presenting your proof one by one.C. Telling different stories to them.D. Letting them ask questions.15. Which can be the best title for the text?A. Why People LieB. How to Stop People LyingC. Low-tech Ways to Find a LiarD. LiarsAre Smarter than Thought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。
