ATWO NEWS REPORTSNEWS REPORT1Even before5G is widely commercially available,Chinese telecom giant Huawei has reportedly begun researching the next generation of wireless technology—6G.Tech website“iPhone in Canada^reported that Huawei has confirmed to local media“The Logic(逻辑学;逻辑性)"that it has started researching6G technology at its lab in Ottawa,Canada and“is in talks with Canadian university researchers about working on development of the next-generation wireless system,"citing a report by The Logic.Song Zhang,vice-president of research strategy and partnership of Huawei in Canada,said“5G is very new,and looking at6G is part of the so-called5G evolution.”Huawei has not commented on the report,according to The Paper.NEWS REPORT2A Japanese startup called SkyDrive Inc.has begun conducting test flights of their prototype flying car with a human pilot.The company hopes to be able to make a full public demonstration(演示;展示)of the vehicle later this summer.The test flights are being conducted at a protected indoor facility at the company’s research flight center outside of Nagoya.There have been a number of previous test flights,but they were all conducted via remote control and no human pilot on-board.According to a report in The Asahi Shimbun,SkyDrive says the car could be ready for a limited retail release as early as2023,and mass production by2026.SkyDrive was founded by former engineers from Toyota and they intend their vehicle to be the world's smallest flying car.In2017,Toyota gave the company an infusion(灌输)of around$350,000to help develop flying vehicles.The company said it won't say more about how the test flights have been proceeding(行动;进行)so far,but says things are going well enough to continue making them.21.What we can learn from NEWS REPORT1?A.Huawei and Apple cooperate to develop6G technology.B.Huawei is the first company to study6G technology.C.Huawei’s research team studies6G technology in Canadian laboratories.D.Huawei is not optimistic about the prospects of6G.22.Which of the following is NOT true about NEWS REPORT2?A.The company hopes to have an opportunity to make a full public demonstration of thevehicle.B.Previous flight tests were controlled by remote control.C.The car may not be able to mass produce in the near future.D.The car was completely invented and produced by Toyota.23.Which news section are we likely to see these two news reports?A.Entertainment.B.Science and Technology.C.Story.D.History.BT he latest in cat research reveals that the lovelyanimal seems to have a basic grasp on both the lawsof physics and the ins and outs of cause and effect.According to a newly published study,cats seem to be able to predict the location of hidingprey(猎物)using both their ears and an inborn(天生的)understanding of how the physicalworld worksIn a recent experiment,Japanese researchers taped30domestic cats reacting to a containerthat a team member shook Some containers rattled(发出响声);others did not.When thecontainer was tipped over,sometimes an object fell out and sometimes it didn't.It turns out that the cats were remarkably smart about what would happen when a containerwas tipped over.When an object did not drop out of the bottom of a rattling container,theylooked at it for a longer time than they did when the container behaved as expected."Cats use a causal-logical understanding of noise or sounds to predict the appearance ofinvisible objects,"lead researcher Saho Takagi says in a press release.The researchersconclude that cats' hunting style may have developed based on their common-sense abilitiesto infer where prey is,using their hearing.Scientists have explored this idea with other endearing creatures:babies.Like cats,babiesappear to engage in what's called"preferential looking"—looking longer at things that areinteresting or unusual than things they perceive as normal.When babies'expectations are violated in experiments like the ones performed with the cats,they react much like their animal friends.Psychologists have shown that babies apparentlyexpect their world to comply with the laws of physics and cause and effect as early as twomonths of age.Does the study mean that cats will soon grasp the ins and outs of cause and effect?Maybe,Okay, so cats may not be the next physics faculty members at America's most importantresearch universities. But by demonstrating their common sense,they've shown that the dividebetween cats and humans may not be that great after all.24.What do we learn from a newly published study about cats?A)They can be trained to understand the physical world.B)They know what kind of prey might be easier to hunt.C)They have a natural ability to locate animals they hunt.D)They are capable of telling which way their prey flees.25.What may account for the cats'response to the noise from the containers?A)Their inborn sensitivity to noise.C)Their special ability to perceive.B)Their unusual sense of direction.D)Their mastery of cause and effect.26In what way do babies behave like cats?A)They focus on what appears odd.C)They do what they prefer to doB)They view the world as normal.D)They are curious about everything.27.What can we conclude about cats from the passage?A)They have higher intelligence than many other animals.B)They interact with the physical world much like humans.C)They display extraordinarily high intelligence in hunting.D)They can aid physics professors in their research work.CSince You Need A Green LightTruth is subjective.If there is one word of advice I would leave to my children it would be,you're better off being DIFFERENT.If the majority of people are doing something and you choose to be a part of it then you're probably on a fast track to self-destruction.One of these disturbing changes I mentioned is the fact that my fellow oxvgen users allow themselves to be fooled so easily.It's almost as if no one can think on their own anymore.We let trends influence how we dress,talk and interact.Where I'm from,in the90's you couldn't be caught dead with tight pants.Now,a couple of rap artist wear"skinny jeans"and it's okay?Now I'm not saying that there's anything wrong with wearing fitted clothing,but does media have to give you a green light for everything?Live your life for you.Have you ever asked yourself,who defines your perspective of"cool?"When you see a commercial on TV advertising some new shoes that aren't economically friendly,are you interested in the actual design of the shoe or are you more concerned about how you are perceived wearing an expensive brand?Currently,we seek that peace in the wrong places.Did you know that it's human nature to desire to be a part of something?Do you really want to be out all night drinking with the guys/girls?Who celebrates turning33with shots?Choose to be a part of something positive.Constantly seek to better yourself and your circle.Life can be discouraging at times.We subconsciously corner our souls until the point where we have to escape by any means necessary.Even to the point of doing things we wouldn't normally do. Reaching the bottom of a750ml bottle of Ciroc(a brand of alcohol)could be emotional survival.Same goes for participating in drugs and other escapes we've created.It's past time to wake up from your slumber(睡眠)。

江苏省南京市金陵中学2020-2021学年高一上学期10月月考英语试题学校:___________姓名:___________班级:___________考号:___________一、阅读选择Want to explore new cultures, meet new people and do something worthwhile at the same time? You can do all the three with Global Development Association(GDA). Whatever stage of life you’re at, wherever you go and whatever project you do in GDA, you’ll create positive changes in a poor and remote community(社区).We work with volunteers of all ages and backgrounds. Most of our volunteers are aged 17-24. Now we need volunteer managers aged 25-75. They are extremely important in the safe and effective running of our programmes. We have such roles as project managers, mountain leaders, and communication officers.Depending on which role you choose, yo u could help to increase a community’s access to safe drinking water, or help to protect valuable local cultures. You might also design an adventure challenge to train young volunteers.Not only will you help our young volunteers to develop personally, you’ll also learn new skills and increase your cultural awareness. You may have chances to meet new people who’ll become your lifelong friends.This summer we have both 4-week and 7-week programmes:GDA ensures that volunteers work with community members and local project partners where our help is needed. All our projects aim to promote the development of poor and remotecommunities.There is no other chance like a GDA programme. Join us as a volunteer manager to develop your own skills while bringing benefits to the communities.Find out more about joining a GDA programme:Website:Email:humanresources@1.What is the main responsibility of volunteer managers?A.To seek local partners. B.To take in young volunteers.C.To carry out programmes. D.To foster cultural awareness.2.The programme beginning in August will operate in ________.A.Egypt B.Algeria C.Kenya D.South Africa 3.The shared goal of GDA’s projects to ________.A.explore new cultures B.protect the environmentC.gain corporate benefit D.help communities in needIn the ongoing battle between Tiger Moms, French Mamas, and everyone else who wants to know what is the best way to raise their kids, a new study adds evidence that the extreme Tiger-style may do more harm than good. Authoritarian parents are more likely to end up with disrespectful children with violent behaviors, the study found, compared to parents who listen to their kids with the goal of gaining trust.It was the first study to look at how parenting styles affect the way teens view their parents and, in turn, how they behave. The study considered three general styles of parenting. Authoritative parents are demanding and controlling while also being warm and sensitive to their children’s needs. Authoritarian parents, on the c ontrary, are demanding and controlling without the appearance of caring, attachment and receptiveness. They take a “my way or the highway” approach to their kids. Permissive parents, the third group, have warm and receptive qualities, but they set few boundaries and carry out few rules.Using data on early 600 kids from an ongoing study of middle school and high school students in New Hampshire, researchers from the University of New Hampshire were able to find “my way or the highway” parenting with more vi olent behaviors like robbery, drug-taking, and attacking someone else with the intention of hurting or killing. Firm but loving parenting, on the other hand, led to fewer lawbreakers. Permissive parenting, surprisingly, didn’t seem tomake much of a difference either.To explain the link between parenting style and behavior in kids, the researchers suggested that what matters most is how reasonable kids think their parents’ power is. This sense comes when kids trust that their parents are making the best decisions for them and believe that they need to do what their parents say even if they don’t always like how their parents are treating them. When kids respect the power of their parents, the researchers reported in the journal of Adolescence, their behavior is better. Previous research has also linked firm but caring parenting with kids who have more self-control and independence.“When children consider their parents to be the reliable figure, they trust the parents and feel that they have a duty to do wha t their parents tell them to do,” said lead researcher Pick Trinkner. “This is very important as the parent doesn’t have to rely on a system of rewards and punishments to control behavior and the child is more likely to follow the rules when the parent is not physically present.”4.Tiger Moms and French Mamas are mentioned in the first paragraph to ________. A.give an example of authoritarian parentingB.show the advantage of parentingC.compare two types of parentingD.introduce the topic5.According to the research, what kind of parenting style is likely to cause children’s criminal behaviors?A.Caring parenting. B.Permissive parenting. C.Authoritarian parenting. D.Authoritative parenting.6.Which of the following probably belongs to the action of the permissive parents? A.Allowing the kids to stay up late at weekends as the kids like.B.Beating the kids if the kids don’t follow their instructions.C.Refusing to listen to the kid’s requests and demands.D.Setting some rules and checking the kids’ behavior s.7.According to the passage, children are more likely to obey the rules when ________. A.their parents listen to them totallyB.they believe in and accept their parentsC.their parents are sensitive to their needsD.their parents demand and control their behaviorsA breathtaking trick potentially left over from our ancestors might be found in us - the ability to sense oxygen through our skin.Amphibians, animals such as frogs that can live both on land and in water, have long been known to be capable of breathing through their skin. In fact, the first known lungless frog that breathes only through its skin was discovered recently in the rivers of Borneo.Now the same oxygen sensors found in frog skins and in the lungs of mammals (哺乳动物) have unexpectedly been discovered in the skin of mice.“No one had ever looked,” explained Randall Johnson, a biologist researcher.Mice and frogs are quite distant relatives, so the fact they have these molecules(分子) in common in their skin suggests they might well be found in the skin of other mammals, such as humans.“We have no reason to think that they are not in the skin of people too,” Johnson said.These molecules not only detect oxygen, but help increase levels of vital red blood cells, which carry oxygen around the body. Normal mice breathing in air that is 10 percent oxygen-a dangerously low level similar to conditions at the top of Mount Everest, and about half that of air at sea level. However, mice that had the oxygen sensor HIF-1a genetically removed from their skin failed to produce this hormone (荷尔蒙) even after hours of such low oxygen.These findings, if they hold true in humans, suggest one could raise the level of oxygen circulating inside the body. This could help treat lung diseases and disorders such as anemia (贫血症) without injecting drugs, which make up a multibillion-dollar market, Johnson said.Athletes also often try to get more oxygen delivered to their muscles in order to improve their performance. They often do this by training at high altitudes or in low-oxygen tents. The new study suggests they might want to expose their skin as well as breathing in low-oxygen air to improve their performance. “It’s hard to say what exactly might be done, however-there’s a lot we don’t know yet,” Johnson explai ned.The scientists detailed their findings in the April 18 issue of the journal Cell. 8.Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A.Johnson believes that Oxygen sensors also exist in human skin.B.People have to surf the Internet to read detailed findings.C.It has been proved that these findings help treat lung diseases.D.It has long been expected oxygen sensors exist in mice’s skin.9.One of the functions of the molecules mentioned above is .A.carrying oxygen around the body B.improving athletes’ performance C.detecting oxygen D.increasing level of oxygen10.What does the underlined word “circulating” in paragraph 8 most probably mean? A.balancing B.growing C.moving D.gathering 11.What is Johnson’s attitude to the application of the findings to the athletes’ training? A.Negative B.Doubting C.Positive D.HesitatingHumans are social animals. They live in groups all over the world. As these groups of people live apart from other groups, over the years and centuries they develop their own habits and ideas, which are different from other cultures. One important particular side of every culture is how its people deal with time.Time is not very important in nonindustrial (非工业的) societies. The Nuer people of East Africa, for example, do not even have a word TIME that is in agreement with the abstract thing we call time. The daily lives of the people of such nonindustrial societies are likely to be patterned around their physical needs and natural events rather than around a time schedule (时间表) based on the clock. They cook and eat when they are hungry and sleep when the sun goes down. They plant crops during the growing seasons and harvest them when the crops are ripe. They measure time not by a clock or calendar, but by saying that an event takes place before or after some other event. Frequently such a society measures days in terms of “sleeps” or longer periods in terms of “moons”. Some cultures, such as the Eskimos of Greenland measure seasons according to the migration of certain animals.Some cultures which do not have a written language or keep written records have developed interesting ways of “telling time”. For example, when several Australian aborigines want to plan an event for a future time, one of them places a stone on a cliff or in a tree. Each day the angle of the sun changes slightly. In a few days, the rays of the sun strike the stone in a certain way. When this happens, the people see that the agreed-upon time has arrived and the event can take place.In contrast (成对比), exactly correct measurement of time is very important in modern, industrialized societies.This is because industrialized societies require the helpful efforts of many people in order to work. For a factory to work efficiently (well, quickly and without waste), for example, all ofthe workers must work at the same time. Therefore, they must know what time to start work in the morning and what time they may go home in the afternoon. Passengers must know the exact time that an airplane will arrive or depart. Students and teachers need to know when a class starts and ends. Stores must open on time in order to serve their customers. Complicated (复杂的) societies need clocks and calendars. Thus, we can see that if each person worked according to his or her own schedule, a complicated society could hardly work at all.12.By saying “Humans are social animals”, the author means .A.they live all over the worldB.They are all connected in one societyC.they live in their own groups as a wholeD.they are divided into many groups13.Time is not very important in nonindustrial societies because people in those societies . A.don’t have the word TIME in their languagesB.don’t get used to using clocks and other timepiecesC.don’t measure time in their daily-lives around an exact time scheduleD.don’t need to plan their daily lives around an exact time schedule14.The Australian aborigines’ way of “telling time” is based on .A.the change of the angle of the sun B.the way sunlight was reflectedC.the position of the stone D.the position of the tree or the cliff 15.Which of the following might be the best title for this passage?A.Time and Culture B.The Measurement of TimeC.Time Schedule and Daily Life D.Clock, Calendar and Society二、七选五Is Dieting OK for Kids?You may know some adults and kids who worry about their weight and say they are going on a diet. You might wonder if you should be on a diet, too.16.Why? Let’s find out.Dieting to Lose Weight17.When someone diets to lose weight, the person is trying to eat fewer calories than the body uses. By doing this, the person may lose body fat and decrease his or her weight. Similarly, if a person eats more calories than the body uses, the person may gain weight.Kids usually do not need to diet in this way.18.During this time, kids need many kindsof healthy foods to keep their bodies growing properly. Some kids are overweight, but even overweight kids often can improve their health simply by eating nutritious foods and being more active.19.But kids may hurt their health even more by doing something drastic( 极端的), like skipping meals or deciding to eat only vegetables.Who Needs to Diet?Though some people may feel they weigh too much or too little, there is no perfect body shape. Some people have bigger bones and will always look bigger and heavier than people with smaller bones.20.Your doctor can examine you and check your body mass index (身体质量指数). That’s a way of estimating how much body fat you have. If the doctor is concerned about your weight, he or she can recommend a couple of goals.For some kids, the doctor may recommend losing some weight, but this should be done with the doctor’s help. Kids who need to lose weight may visit with a dietitian who can explain how to reduce calories safely while still getting all the necessary nutrients.A.It is important to form a good eating habit.B.Being overweight can cause health problems.C.Not eating properly can be very harmful to kids.D.Unlike adults, kids are still growing and developing.E.Talk to your doctor if you have questions about your weight.F.All foods and many drinks contain calories, a kind of energy.G.However, most of kids do not need to and should not diet this way.三、完形填空I took my 10-year-old daughter to the Hollywood sign last week.On clear days,we can see it from our house,and we've always talked about hiking there.We've gotten better at these sorts of 21 . I have become more patient.She 22 scares any more.And though she is brave by nature, it still 23 practice.So,every few weeks,we plan an outing,and we 24 ourselves for bravery.

2021学年-有答案-江苏省南京市某校高一上学期十月阶段考试英语试题
江苏省南京市某校2020-2021学年高一上学期十月阶段考试英语试题一、阅读选择1. Look at the center circles of Diagram(图)A and Diagram B. Which of the centre circles looks larger?Take a first look and you probably think that the centre circle in Diagram A is smaller than that in Diagram B. In fact, they are exactly the same size.Then look at the picture on the left. What do you see? A vase? Or two faces? Does the picture change quickly from one to the other again and again? Maybe or maybe not, but you can never see them at the same time."What's happening? Is something wrong with my eyes? " You may wonder at what you see. Don't worry. Here is how it goes:When we look at things, our eyes send messages to our brains and then our brains interpret(解读)the information. However, sometimes our brains interpret the received information in a wrong way. It seems that our eyes are playing a joke on us. This often happens and we call it "Visual illusion(视觉错误).Movie makers often make use of illusions. They make the objects around actors much smaller or bigger than usual. This makes us believe that the actors are much larger or smaller than they usually are. The movies Jurassic Park and Honey I shrunk the kids just make use of illusions.(1)Why does the centre circle in Diagram A look smaller than that in Diagram B?________A. Something is wrong with our eyesB. The two circles are not the same sizeC. Our brains interpret the information in a wrong wayD. The two pictures change quickly from one to the other.(2)What's the right order according to the passage?________a. We look at things with our eyes. b. Our brains interpret the messages.c. Our brains tell us what we have seen. d. Our eyes send messages to our brains.A. a﹣c﹣d﹣bB. c﹣a﹣b﹣dC. a﹣d﹣b﹣cD. b﹣c﹣a﹣d.(3)In the picture on the right, it seems that Line AB is shorter than Line CD,but in fact Line AB is as long as Line CD. Which paragraph can explain what has happened to our eyes?________A.The second one.B. The third one.C.The fifth one.D. The sixth one..(4)Which magazine is the text probably taken from?________A. Art worldB. Amazing ScienceC. Health and MedicineD. Daily news.2.Many of us have had this experience: we lie down in a bed other than our own, perhaps at a friend's house or in a hotel room, and find it difficult or impossible to fall asleep. Is it because the bed is uncomfortable? Maybe, but perhaps there can be other reasons.According to a new study published in Current Biology, a significant reason is what the scientists call "first night effect". They believe that one side of the brain acts as a "night watch" to warn us about potential dangers. It forces us to stay awake on the first night in a new environment.For the study, 35 young volunteers were asked to sleep in a sleep lab for several days. Meanwhile, researchers watched their brain activities.According to the researchers, on their first night, the left brains were more active than the right brains and people had a hard time sleeping. However, left-brain activity decreased as days went by, falling even to the point of complete calm. In this process, the participants got an increasingly better sleep experience.The findings suggest that the different rhythms(节奏)of the sides of the brain affect our sleep. When the two sides work differently, the balance between them is broken. Thus, the brain can't relax and is sensitive to anything strange in the surroundings, just as it is in daytime."At some level, the brain is continuing to analyze things, even though you are not aware of the analysis," US professor Jerome Siegel told Smithsonian Magazine. "If something unusual happens—if a door opens or you hear a key in a lock—you can be alert(警醒的)."More surprisingly, this phenomenon is similar to the way some animals sleep. Whales, dolphins, and many birds can sleep with half of their brain while the other half stays awake, with its corresponding eye staying open.The researchers think that it is the result of evolution, and works to protect us in potentially dangerous environments.If you have ever had what you think is "first night effect", researchers suggest that you bring your own pillow or sleep in a room similar to your bedroom next time you sleep away from home.(1)What did the new study published in Current Biology find?A.A comfortable bed could help people sleep well in a new environment.B.Most people could sleep well in a new environment after the first night.C.Brain activities affected people's sleep in a new environment.D.The right brain determined how well people slept in a new environment.(2)What was found out about the volunteers?A.Their left brains were more active on the first night.B.Their right brains became more active as days went by.C.Their right brains kept them awake the whole night.D.They slept better in the sleep lab than at home.(3)What do the researchers think makes the brain sensitive to new things?A.The bad sleep experiences people have had.B.The tiredness that people suffer from in daytime.C.The imbalance between the two sides of the brain.D.The strangeness of the things that people come across.(4)What do the researchers think of "first night effect"?A.It has evolved as a way to protect us.B.It's a characteristic that animals don't have.C.It's completely different from the way animals sleep.D.It helps people get used to new environments quickly.3.The freezing Northeast hasn't been a terribly fun place to spend time this winter, so when the chance came for a weekend to Sarasota, Florida, my bags were packed before you could say "sunshine". I left for the land of warmth and vitamin C(维生素C), thinking of beaches and orange trees. When we touched down to blue skies and warm air, I sent up a small prayer of gratefulness. Swimming pools, wine tasting, and pink sunsets (at normal evening hours, not 4 in the afternoon) filled the weekend, but the best part—particularly to my taste, dulled by months of cold-weather root vegetables—was a 7 a.m. adventure to the Sarasota farmers' market that proved to be more than worth the early wake-up call.The market, which was founded in 1979, sets up its tents every Saturday from 7:00 am to 1 p.m, rain or shine, along North Lemon and State streets. Baskets of perfect red strawberries, the red-painted sides of the Java Dawg coffee truck; and most of all, the tomatoes: amazing, large, soft and round red tomatoes.Disappointed by many a broken, vine-ripened(蔓上成熟的)promise, I've refused to buy winter tomatoes for years. No matter how attractive they look in the store, once I get them home they're unfailingly dry, hard, and tasteless. But I homed in, with uncertainty, on one particular table at the Brown's Grove Farm's stand, full of fresh and soft tomatoes the size of my fist. These were the real deal—and at that moment, I realized that the best part of Sarasota in winter was going to be eating things that back home in New York I wouldn't be experiencing again for months.Delighted as I was by the tomatoes in sight, my happiness deepened when I learned that Brown's Grove Farm is one of the suppliers for Jack Dusty, a newly opened restaurant at the Sarasota Ritz Carlton, where—luckily for me—I was planning to have dinner that very night. Without even seeing the menu, I knew I'd be ordering every tomato on it.(1)What did the author think of her winter life in New York?A.Exciting.B.Boring.C.Relaxing.D.Annoying.(2)What made the author's getting up early worthwhile?A.Having a swim.B.Breathing in fresh air.C.Walking in the morning sun.D.Visiting a local farmers' market.(3)What can we learn about tomatoes sold in New York in winter?A.They are soft.B.They look nice.C.They taste great.D.They are juicy.(4)What was the author going to do that evening?A.Go to a farm.B.Check into a hotel.C.Eat in a restaurant.D.Buy fresh vegetables.4. The comebackFausto Ruiz got off the boat at the port of the city where he was born fifty years ago, and to which he had been away for twenty years. There were lots of new buildings up on the hills around the city now, buildings which he didn’t recognize. Yet many of the old buildings were exactly the same, although many of the old shops were there no more.He walked up the main road and saw that there was still one small cafè there which was the same as it had been. Walking into the cafè, he recognized the owner behind the bar as well as the waiter working there. They both looked much, much older. Fausto felt certain that he didn’t look as old as they did, even though they were all twenty years older now.Fausto sat at a table and waited. He raised his arm and shouted to the waiter, then to the owner behind the bar, but it was useless. They didn’t come and ask him what he wanted. They were ignoring him.Angry, Fausto got up and walked out of the cafè. Such ignorant people, he thought. Now I remember why I left this town twenty years ago, and why I never came back.He walked along the main street as far as the main square in the town, and when he arrived there he remembered the other reason why he had never come back. In the main square there was the theatre. He had a terrible memory of what happened there twenty years ago.Twenty years ago, Fausto Ruiz was the most famous singer in the world. He had sung in all of the most famous opera houses in the world. Everywhere he went, people paid large sums of money for tickets. When they saw him sing they clapped and applauded and cheered. When he was at the height of his fame, Fausto decided to come back and held a concert in the theatre.The concert was announced, and all the tickets sold out within a few hours. Thousands of people crowded into the theatre to see the legendary Fausto Ruiz sing in the theatre.There was silence as Fausto walked onto the stage. Then he began to sing, one of his best known songs. And at the end of the song, there was just silence. Fausto waited, very surprised for a moment, and then started to sing another song. At the end of this song, there was silence for a moment. Then the people began to boo, and to hiss. Fausto tried to cover the noise by singing another song, very loudly this time. But it got worse. The louder he sang, the louder the boos and hisses became. Soon, there was a rain of rotten fruit and vegetables and smelly old shoes falling down. Fausto was extremely angry. He stormed off the stage and out of the theatre. He left his hometown that night, and he said that he would never, ever go back there ever again.Now, he decided to walk into the theatre. As he walked in he saw it was the same man selling tickets in the box office. Fausto said hello to him but the man said nothing and ignored him. “Still the same” thought Fausto. He felt sad, and left the theatre and decided to see the house where he had been born.He walked all the way across the town, expecting to be recognized by people. He saw some men in the park, who were the same age as he was, and he remembered them. They were his friends when he was at school. He walked over to them to say hello, but they, too, ignored him.He was so angry and so disappointed that he began to shout, “I a m the great Fausto Ruiz!!!The greatest singer the world has ever heard!!!” Nobody took any notice of him.When he finally reached his old house, he at least had a pleasant surprise. Outside the house, there was a statue (雕塑), and it was a statue of himself. “Finally!” thought Fausto, “Somebody has recognized my genius!”Fausto went to have a closer look. There was some writing at the bottom of the statue. “Fausto Ruiz” it said, “Singer”. Fausto was disappointed that it did not say “the greatest singer in the world”, but at least it was a statue. There was some more writing. He looked carefully at it. There was his date of birth, fifty years ago. And then there was something else. It was another date, and it was yesterday. …It was the date of his death.(1)When he returned home twenty years later, Fausto Ruiz really expected________.A.to see the great changes in his hometownB.that the people as old as him could remember who he wasC.that the people could still appreciate his singingD.to tell the people there that he could still recognize them(2)Which of the following directly caused him to leave his hometown?A.His singing in the most famous opera houses in the world.B.Too much admiration for him and his singing.C.What the people did to him in the theater.D.His willingness to be famous all over the whole world.(3)The underlined sentence “Then the people began to boo, and to hiss” shows that the people there________.A.thought highly of him and his singingB.became very excited when hearing him singingC.were ignoring him and his singingD.were extremely disappointed in him and his singing(4)We can say that Fausto Ruiz is________according to the story.A.open-minded and humorousB.ignorant and stupidC.lively and cheerfulD.sensitive and proud二、七选五阅读下面短文,在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。

In the ongoing battle between Tiger Moms, French Mamas, and everyone else who wants to know what is the best way to raise their kids, a new study adds evidence that the extreme Tiger-style may do more harm than good. Authoritarian parents are more likely to end up with disrespectful children with violent behaviors, the study found, compared to parents who listen to their kids with the goal of gaining trust.
C.To carry out programmes.D.To foster cultural awareness.
2.The programme beginning in August will operate in ________.
A.EgyptB.AlgeriaC.KenyaD.South Africa
It was the first study to look at how parenting styles affect the way teens view their parents and, in turn, how they behave. The study considered three general styles of parenting. Authoritative parents are demanding and controlling while also being warm and sensitive to their children’s needs. Authoritarian parents, on the contrary, are demanding and controlling without the appearance of caring, attachment and receptiveness. They take a “my way or the highway” approach to their kids. Permissive parents, the third group, have warm and receptive qualities, but they set few boundaries and carry out few rules.

2021年南京市金陵中学高三英语月考试题及答案解析第一部分阅读(共两节,满分40分)第一节(共15小题;每小题2分,满分30分)阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项AWhat good films are coming out in March? Here are four films to watch this March.MulanIt’s another live-action remake of a classic Disney cartoon. It is based on an ancient Chinese girl who dresses up herself as a man so that she can join the army.Director Niki Caro and the actors show us wonderful battle scenes and Chinese Kung Fu.OnwardDragons, unicorns (独角兽) and other creatures are usually considered to only exist in ancient Greece, but in Onward, they are all still alive and kicking in the UStoday. Onward is about two brothers who go on a road trip in order to bring their father back from the dead. It is such a perfect film that it’s worth spending a few hours in the cinema.RadioactiveRadioactive tells us about a famous Polish-French scientist, Marie Curie who won the Nobel Prize twice but was finally killed by the radiation she studied. In the film. Curie is played by Rosamund Pike alongside Sam Riley as her husband Pierre Curie and Anya Taylor-Joy as their daughter Irene.MisbehaviorThe Miss World Beauty Contest may be out of fashion, but it used to be one of television’s biggest events.Misbehaviortells what happened when the event was staged at the Royal Albert hall in London in 1970. There could hardly be a more interesting topic for a film, even if it was set 50 years ago.1. What do we know about Onward?A. It praises a woman fighter.B. It is a Chinese story.C. It focuses on animal protection.D. It is a film about magic.2. Who does Rosamund Pike play?A. A soldier.B. A killer.C. A scientist.D. A designer.3. Which of the following films is set in the UK?A. Misbehavior.B. Onward.C. Radioactive.D. Mulan.BWatching what you eat can be easier said than done, but a recent study shows it might not just be about what's on your plate — it could be about how quickly it disappears.Japanese researchers followed 1,083 adultsfor five years, splitting them into three categories based on how quickly they ate: slow, normal, and fast. They also answered a questionnaire at the beginning of the study, sharing their diet, physical activity, and medical history. In the beginning, none of the volunteers had metabolic syndrome (新陈代谢综合征) - meaning at least three risk factors — which can lead to health problems like heart conditions and diabetes.When the participants reported back five years later 84 had been diagnosed (诊断) with metabolic syndrome — and their eating speed was a major predictor, according to the results in the journal Circulation. The fast eaters were 89 percent more likely to have metabolic syndrome than slow and normal eaters. Just 2.3 percent of slow eaters received the diagnosis, compared to 11.6 percent of fast eaters. But that's not all. Fast eaters also saw more weight gain, larger waistlines, and higher blood sugar levels than slow eaters.The researchers saygobblingmakes it easier not to take notice of fullness before your body has a chance to signal you to stop. “So when people eat fast they are more likely to overeat,” said Takayuki Yamaji, MD, study author and cardiologist at Hiroshima University in Japan in a statement.Previous research backs up the weight benefits of slow eating, too. One study of New Zealand women found fast eaters have higher body-mass indexes (指数), and a Chinese study found that both healthy and fat men ate less when told to chew 40 times instead of 15 times before swallowing. Initial research even suggests chewing your food longer could bum more calories - up to about 1,000 extra every month.4. What are the participants divided by?A. Medical history.B. Health condition.C. Physical activity.D. Eating speed.5. Which may be the result of the study?A. Fast eaters are 4 times more likely to have metabolic syndrome.B. Normal and slow eaters don’t have metabolic illness.C. 89% of fast eaters have higher blood pressure.D. Slow caters are healthier than fast eaters.6. What does the underlined word “gobbling” in Paragraph 4 best mean?A. Tasting slowly.B. Digesting quickly.C. Eating greedily.D. Cooking carefully.7. What does the last paragraph tell us?A. The importance of eating speed.B. The advantage of eating slowly.C. The result of a Chinese study.D. Fast eating and overeating.CIt was once considered an important status symbol ---but having a home phone is increasingly seen asa white elephant. New figures show that one in five households no longer bother with a landline(固定电话),and almost a third of those that do never actually use it.The vast majority of people who still have a home phone ——72 percent ——say they only have it because it is part of their broadband package.But that's not the only reason to desert the home phone - 20 percent of those surveyed said that they were fed up with the number of cold calls and would-be scammers(诈骗者).Digital media expert Dr. Elinor Carmi said there was a generational and social divide in phone use. She explained:"If you,re young and have the mobility to go outside, you would rely on a mobile phone. But if you are older, disabled and perhaps poorer, our research shows you're more likely to use a landline. If you are richer, you will have access to more smart devices --- a smart TV, smartphone or laptop. But the poorer you are --- or if you are older, your use of these devices is more limited.”Last year, research from regulator Ofcom found that the amount of time spent on landline calls annually in theUKhad halved over just six years, to 54 billion minutes. The new study also showed that more than a quarter of households have decided to find a broadband provider that does not charge for their unused landline, but only six percent have done so.8. The underlined part “ a white elephant" in Paragraph 1 probably refers to something that isA. costly but effectiveB. useful and beautifulC. expensive but uselessD. cheap and necessary9. What's the main reason why some people still have a home phone?A. Their broadband package contains it.B. Their family can only afford to use it.C. They are used to using a home phone.D. They consider it an important status symbol.10. Which of the following is more likely to use a landline?A. A young adventurer.B. An old poor gardener.C. An outdoor photographer.D. A famous indoor designer.11. What's the best title of the text?A. End of the landline?B. Fed up with cold calls?C. The history of phonesD. Different choices of phonesDSome years ago a young man applied to a large United States optical firm for a job as a lens designer. He apologized for lack of training, but on announcing that he owned two copies of the classic Conrady's Applied Optics and Optical Design, one for his office and a second for his bedside table, he was hired on the spot. Perhaps the story will be repeated some day with Buchdahl's Introduction to Hamiltonian Optics as a similar certificate of qualification.Hamiltonian theory describes with powerful generality the overall properties of optical systems considered as ‘black boxes’, although it does not describe the detailed structure needed to construct the systems and achieve these properties. Buchdahl's book is therefore on the subject of geometrical optics, but it is not about how to design lenses. It is, however a compact comprehensive account of the fundamentals of the theory written with the lens designer's needs very much in mind. Every lens designer worth his salt has at some time in his career attempted to apply the broad concepts of Hamiltonian optics to the solutions of practical problems. Success has been sufficiently rare that the theory, as such, has made little direct contribution to techniques for optical instrument design. The failures have been frustrating because of the obvious fundamental power of the theory and because of its conceptual elegance. The indirect effects have been large, however, both in contributing to an understanding of fundamental principles that govern the overall behavior of optical systems and in pointing the way to other, more practical, theoretical approaches.Buchdahl approaches the subject not only as a capable mathematical physicist, but as one who with a knowledge of practical optics has made a significant contribution to geometrical optical theory. Buchdahl's approach has, over the last decade, had a major impact on modern lens design with computers. Thus, he brings tothis exposition of Hamiltonian optics a familiarity with practical optics not usually found in authors on this subject.The author claims his book to be non-mathematical, and indeed it might be so viewed by a professional mathematician. From the point of view of many physicists and engineers, it will appear to be quite mathematical. Moreover, this is a tightly written book. The subject matter is developed with precision, and the author expects the reader, at very point, to be master of the preceding exposition.12. Hamiltonian theory met with failures as a result of ______.A. newer finding related to the wave particle nature of lightB. very complicated concepts too difficult to understand by most lens designersC. too much mathematical detail in the theoryD. not enough practical information offered by the theory to allow for use by lens crafters13. The author of this passage implies that Introduction to Hamiltonian Optics is necessary to ______.A. the students who are major in mathematical geometryB. those who want to grasp the basic principles of optical systemsC. the lens designers who look for instructions on practical designsD. those who are interested in physics14. The article points out that the great benefits of Hamiltonian optics have been found is ______.A. indirect ways of learning mathematicsB. a fundamental power within the theoryC. the conceptual elegance of the theoryD. the practical applications of the theory in finding new approaches to old problems15.

2021-2022学年南京市金陵中学河西分校高一英语第一学期10月份阶段性检测试卷第一部分:听力(略)第二部分:阅读理解(共两节,满分50分)第一节(共15小题,每小题2.5分,满分37.5分)阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。
AYou can get a lot from being healthy. Everyone needs to take time to exercise. There are lots of ways to improve your health without having to go to a gym. Here are some tips on how to better make use of your free time while staying healthy.By keeping physically active, you're making sure that your joints(关节)and body organs (器官)are kept in good working order. Exercise can also help keep your weight at a healthy level and can protect you against catching a cough and a cold. Other benefits are an increase in your energy level and brain activity. Knowing that you're looking and feeling good can also increase your self-confidence.If you're under 18, you should try to do a total of 60 minutes of physical activity every day. This includes anything from taking the lift at the gym to walking up-stairs. If you're over 18, it's at least 30 minutes of exercise at least five days a week.Getting fit isn't all about gyms----some forms of exercise don't cost you any money, and most forms can easily be used in your busy lifestyle without having to find some special time in your day. Such as riding a bike to school, college or company, and even running on the playground a few times a week can improve your fitness level.Getting fit isn't just something you have to do by yourself. Playing team sports like football or basketball is great exercise, and it is often more enjoyable because you're playing with a group of friends.21.Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage?A.What benefits one can get from taking exercise.B.What time of the day is suitable for exercise.C.How much exercise one should take.D.What forms of exercise one should choose.22.Mr. Wang is a supermarket manager, how much exercise does he need every week?A.At least 30 minutes every day.B. At least 60 minutes five times a week.C. At least 30 minutes five times a week.D. At least 60 minutes every day.23.By doing what exercise can you have more fun and at the same time keep healthy?A.Taking the lift at the gym.B. Running on the playground.C. Riding a bike to school.D. Playing football.24.What can we learn from the passage?A.Walking up-stairs is also a kind of exercise,B.It is no use exercising by yourself.C.Don’t do exercise if you are busy.D.One should try to save money for going to a gym.BWhen you are little, the whole world feels like a big playground. I was living in Conyers, Georgia the summer it all happened. I was a second grader, but my best friend Stephanie was only in the first grade. Both of our parents were at work and most of the time they let us go our own way.It was a hot afternoon and we decided to have an adventure in Stephanie’s basement. As I opened the basement door, before us lay the biggest room, full of amazing things like guns, dolls, and old clothes. I ran downstairs, and spotted a red steel can. It was paint. I looked beyond it and there lay even more paint in bright colors like purple, orange, blue and green."Stephanie, I just found us a project for the day. Get some paintbrushes. We are fixing to paint." She screamed with excitement as I told her of my secret plans and immediately we got to work. We gathered all the brushes we could find and moved all of our materials to my yard. There on the road in front of my house, we painted big stripes (条纹) of colors across the pavement (人行道). Stripe by stripe, our colors turned into a beautiful rainbow. It was fantastic!The sun was starting to sink. I saw a car in the distance and jumped up as I recognized the car. It was my mother. I couldn’t wait to show her my masterpiece. The car pulled slowly into the driveway and from the look on my mother’s face, I could tell that I was in deep trouble.My mother shut the car door and walked towards me. Her eyes glaring, she shouted, "What in the world were you thinking? I understood when you made castles out of leaves, and climbed the neighbors’ trees, but this! Come inside right now!" I stood there glaring back at her for a minute, angry because she had insulted (侮辱) my art."Now go clean it up!" Mother and I began cleaning the road. Tears ran down my cheeks as I saw my beautiful rainbow turn into black cement.Though years have now passed, I still wonder where my rainbow has gone. I wonder if, maybe when I get older, I can find my rainbow and never have to brush it away. I guess we all need some sort of rainbow to brighten our lives from time to time and to keep our hopes and dreams colorful.25. What did the writer want to do when his mother came home?A. To introduce Stephanie to her.B. To prevent her from seeing his painting.C. To put the materials back in the yard.D. To show his artwork to her.26. In his mother’s eyes, the writer _____________.A. was a born artistB. always caused troubleC. was a problem solverD. worked very hard27. The underlined word "rainbow" in the last paragraph refers to _____________.A. the rainbow in the skyB. the stripes on the pavementC. something imaginative and funD. important lessons learned in childhood28. It can be learned from the passage that parents should _____________.A. encourage children to paintB. value friendship among childrenC. discover the hidden talent in childrenD. protect rather than destroy children’s dreamsCDo you know how it is when you see someone yawn and you start yawning too? Or how hard it is to be among people laughing and not laugh yourself? Well apparently it's because we have mirror neurons (神经元) in our brains.Put simply the existence of mirror neurons suggests that every time we see someone else do something our brains imitate (模仿) it whether or not we actually perform the same action. This explains a great deal about how we learn to smile, talk, walk, dance or play sports. But the idea goes further: mirror neurons not only appear to explain physical actions they also tell us that there is a biological basis for the way we understand other people.Mirror neurons can undoubtedly be found all over our brains but especially in the areas which relate to our ability to use languages and to understand how other people feel. Researchers have found that mirror neurons relate strongly to language. A group of researchers discovered that if they gave people sentences to listen to (for example: "The hand took hold of the ball") the same mirror neurons were triggered as when the action was actually performed (in this example actually taking hold of a ball).Any problems with mirror neurons may well result in problems with behavior. Much research suggests that people with social and behavioral problems have mirror neurons which are not fully functioning. However it is not yet known exactly how these discoveries might help find treatments for social disorders.Research into mirror neurons seems to provide us with ever more information concerning how humans behave and interact (互动). Indeed it may turn out to be the equivalent (相等物) for neuroscience of what Einstein's theory of relativity was for physics. And the next time you feel the urge to cough in the cinema when someone else does-well perhaps you'll understand why.29. Mirror neurons can explain _____.A. why we cry when we are hurtB. why we cough when we suffer from a coldC. why we smile when we see someone else smileD. why we yawn when we see someone else stay up lat30. The underlined word "triggered" in the third paragraph probably means "____".A. set offB. cut offC. built upD. broken up31. We can learn from the passage that mirror neurons _____.A. control human physical actions and feelingsB. relate to human behavior and interactionC. result in bad behavior and social disordersD. determine our knowledge and language abilities32. What is the passage mainly about?A. Functions of mirror neurons.B. Problems of mirror neurons.C. Existence of mirror neurons.D. Ways to find mirror neurons.DI am a good mother to three children. I have tried never to let my profession stand in the way of being a good parent.I no longer consider myself the center of the universe. I show up. I listen. I try to laugh. I am a good friend to my husband. I have tried to make marriage vows (誓约) mean what they say. I am a good friend to my friends, and they to me. Without them, there would be nothing to say to you today.So here's what I want to tell you today: Get a life. A real life, not a desire of the next promotion, the bigger paycheck, the larger house.Get a life in which you are not alone. Find people you love, and who love you. And remember that love is not leisure, it is work. Pick up the phone. Send an e-mail. Write a letter. And realize that life is the best thing and that you have no business taking it for granted.It is so easy to waste our lives, our days, our hours, and our minutes. It is so easy to exist instead of living.I learned to live many years ago. Something really, really bad happened to me, something that changed my life in ways that, if I had my choice, it would never have been changed at all. And what I learned from it is what, today, seems to be the hardest lesson of all.I learned to love the journey, not the destination. I learned to look at all the good in the world and try to give some of it back because I believed in it, completely and totally. And I tried to do that, in part, by telling others what I had learned.33.How did the author form her view of life?A.Through social experience.B. By learning from her friends.C. Through an unfortunate experience.D. From her children and husband.34. The sentence “It is so easy to exist instead of to live.” means that people tend to ________.A.waste a lot in lifeB. work rather than enjoy lifeC. make a living rather than live a real lifeD. forget the most important lessons in life35. The best title for this passage probably is ________.A.Love your friendsB. Live a real lifeC. Don't waste timeD. Be a good mother and wife第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

A cartoon character wearing bright red shorts on video begins instructing us to do star-jumps and sit-ups around his apartment.Pella, a research assistant at Stockholm University, is part of the Hoffice movement, which invites workers-freelancers(自由职业者)or full-time employees who can do their jobs remotely—to work at each other’s homes to increase productivity and enjoy an active social life.Those attending Hoffice events advertised on Facebook are typically asked to work silently in 45-minute blocks, before taking short breaks together to exercise, or simply chatting over a coffee. In addition, each participant shares daily objectives with the rest of the group upon arrival, and is invited to report back on whether or not they have achieved them at the end of the day.“Often when I am alone, I can work focused for a couple of hours but then I’m easily distracted(分心).The help of others makes me so much more disciplined.” says Pella, who attends Hoffice events as both a guest and a host. Lunches mean networking and connecting with new contacts. “People are coming from really different areas and have different professions so there can be really interesting discussions,” he says.The Hoffice movement has grown quickly since it was founded in 2014 by Swedish psychologist Christofer Franzen, now 37. He had been giving lectures on the benefits of collective(集体的)intelligence, but realised he was spending most of his own time working alone at his kitchen table. “I wanted to test more structured home co-working with friends in similar situations,” he says.Franzen says that holding events in houses and apartments creates a unique atmosphere, because there’s a sense of community and desire to contribute. He’s looking for ways to expand the social value of Hoffice, by matching up members with relevant skills to share and even encouraging jobseekers to join its gatherings.4. Where is Pella when his smart phone starts pinging?A. In his own home.B. In his office.C. In another person’s home.D. At Stockholm University.5. What do people attending Hoffice events do first when they meet?A. Watch an exercise video.B. Work silently for 45 minutes.C. Tell each other their daily plans.D. Report what they have achieved.6. What does Franzen really mean by saying “friends in similar situations”?A. They usually work alone.B. They often give lectures.C. They study collective intelligence.D. They have to work at a kitchen table.7. What is the best title for the text?A. Sharing Comfortable WorkplacesB. A New Way to Make New FriendsC. Benefits of Collective IntelligenceD. Working from Others’ HomesCBecause of COVID-19, in many places, large gatherings of people aren’t allowed. In some areas, the rules are more strict, and people aren't allowed to leave their homes unless going out is ly necessary.These steps are very important for slowing the disease down. By doing this, governments can make sure doctors and hospitals are better able to deal with all the sick people, and that fewer people suffer in all. Usually, it's called “flattening the curve”.But if no one can go out, that means businesses which depend on visitors struggle. Many singers, bands, and other musicians would normally be giving concerts now. Instead, they have to find new ways to share their music and connect with their audiences. The Metropolitan Opera in New York has canceled(取消) its season, but it is showing a special live stream of a different opera each day on its website. Other opera companies have made similar moves. Several theater companies are either offering recorded versions of their plays online or posting videos of their actors performing.Nick Green wrote a musical play that was canceled because of the virus. He set up a website with links thatallow people to enjoy the work of artists around the world who have had their projects canceled. He called his project the Social Distancing Festival. He sad it was a time when he should be doing something new, rather than feeling disappointed.Even TV shows have to find new ways to film their shows. Some late night TV shows have continued, but without audiences. Others are showing reruns.While their shows are on pause, some TV stars like Conan O’Brien and Jimmy Fallon have been filming short videos at home. Mr. O’ Brien plans to bring his show back on the air soon by filming with his own phone and talking with guests over the Internet.8. What does the underlined phrase in Paragraph 2 refer to?A. Keeping patients staying at home anytime.B. Speed up the spread of disease.C. Stopping people from often gathering up.D. Slowing down the spread of the disease.9. What are opera companies’ new ways?A. Stopping sharing music with audience.B. Providing live stream services.C. Trying to attract live audiences.D. Sharing their operas with each other10. What did the cancellation of Nick Green's play bring him?A. Disappointment.B. Annoyance .C. Creativity.D. Anxiety.11. What is the text mainly about?A. People staying at home .B. The absence of audiences.C. The efforts of Nick Green .D. Entertainment going online .DAbout 12 years ago, Sandy Cambron noticed her mother, Pearl Walker, had become quiet after she moved into a nursing home for patients of Alzheimer's disease inKentucky.“We tried everything — photos, old stories — but nothing worked,” she said. “It was really hard for everyone to see how she had changed.” Then one day whileSandywas in a toy store, she had an idea: Why not givePearla baby doll so she could feel as if she were caring for something again? And why not give one to all the other care center seniors?As soon asSandygavePearlthe doll, her mother's face lit up. “She started talking again and she never went anywhere without that baby,”Sandysaid. “She took 'baby' to the dining room with her and slept with her in her arms every night. When she passed away a year later, we even buried her with that well-loved baby doll.”In the following 10 years, Sandy and her husband, Wayne Cambron, continued to buy dolls and hand themout to the elderly of care centers near their home every New Year. Now Pearl's Memory Babies is anonprofit (非营利) organization that has contributed more than 300 dolls to old people with Alzheimer's disease at nursing homes since February 2018.Last year,Sandyposted New Year’s photos on Facebook, all of which are about seniors reacting to dolls thatshe and Wayne sent to a local nursing home. The post was shared more than 210,000 times overnight. People gave almost $15,000 online. That helped the group buy many dolls.“The dolls offer treatment and comfort,” said Elise Hinchman, who works at a care center inKentucky, "Some seniors cry when they get a doll. And they always rock and talk to their dolls. People with Alzheimer might lose their memories, but they don't lose their ability to love.”12. How did Pearl change after she moved to a nursing home?A. She hardly talked.B. She lost hope in life.C. She felt bored.D. She forgot everything.13. How didPearlreact after receiving the doll?A. She began to cry.B. She was very delighted.C. She played it with a baby.D. She was unconcerned about it.14. What's paragraph 5 mainly about?A. What Sandy did for her mother.B. People's reaction toSandy's post.C. The rising needs for baby dolls.D. HowSandybecame a celebrity.15. What can be a suitable title for the text?A. Good News for Alzheimer's PatientsB. How to Remove Alzheimer's DiseaseC. Baby Dolls Cheer up Alzheimer's PatientsD. Daughter Helps Mother Recover Memory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。

The man was E. B. White—or Andy, as he was called—who thought spiders were wonderful creatures. He thought that one day he might like to write a children's book about a spider.But writing was hard work for Andy. He had written many articles and essays and poems. He had also written one children's book, Stuart Little. But Andy could never just rush to turn an idea into an article or a book. He told his editor(编辑)that he needed to let his ideas ripen.So for years, Andy continued to think about writing a children's book about a spider. He did some of his best thinking while he wandered around his farm.Once while he was cleaning his barn, he found a spider's egg sac(卵囊). Andy wanted to see the eggs hatch. But he was scheduled to leave for a trip to New York City. So he found a small box and carefully placed the egg sac inside. When he got to his hotel, he put the box on the dresser. One morning he woke up, and there were hundreds of baby spiders rushing across the dresser!Years later, Andy finally began writing Charlotte's Web, the story of a spider named Charlotte and a pig named Wilbur. Andy created most of the book sitting by himself in the tiny boathouse of his farm.Sometimes he stopped writing and aimlessly drew pictures of spiders. Andy always said Charlotte's Web was more than just a children's story about animals. It was a timeless story about true friendship.(1)What is the main idea of this text?A.E.B. White loved spiders.B.E. B. White liked to live on a farm.C.Why E. B. White was called Andy.D.HowE. B. White wrote Charlotte's Web.(2)What did Andy mean by saying "to let his ideas ripen"?A.He wanted them to work quickly.B.He wanted to discuss them with others.C.He wanted them to slowly grow and improve.D.He wanted to save them for future use.(3)Why did Andy bring the spider's eggs to New York City?A.He wanted to know more about spiders.B.He didn't want spiders to live on his farm.C.He wanted to kill time during the trip.D.He didn't like to travel alone.(4)What had happened before Andy put his idea into practice according to the text?A.Children's books had sold well.B.Andy had made full preparations.C.Andy had never tried writing children's books.D.The editor had given Andy some advice.In the ongoing battle between Tiger Moms, French Mamas, and everyone else who wants to know what is the best way to raise their kids, a new study adds evidence that the extreme Tiger﹣style may do more harm than good. Authoritarian parents are more likely to end up with disrespectful children with violent behaviors, the study found, compared to parents who listen to their kids with the goal of gaining trust.It was the first study to look at how parenting styles affect the way teens view their parents and, in turn, how they behave. The study considered three general styles of parenting. Authoritative parents are demanding and controlling while also being warm and sensitive to their children's needs. Authoritarian parents, on thecontrary, are demanding and controlling without the appearance of caring, attachment and receptiveness. They take a "my way or the highway" approach to their kids. Permissive parents, the third group, have warm and receptive qualities, but they set few boundaries and carry out few rules.Using data on early 600 kids from an ongoing study of middle school and high school students in New Hampshire, researchers from the University of New Hampshire were able to find "my way or the highway" parenting with more violent behaviors like robbery, drug﹣taking, and attacking someone else with the intention of hurting or killing. Firm but loving parenting, on the other hand, led to fewer lawbreakers. Permissiveparenting, surprisingly, didn't seem to make much of a difference either.To explain the rink between parenting style and behavior in kids, the researchers suggested that what matters most is how reasonable kids think their parents' power is. This sense comes when kids trust that their parents are making the best decisions for them and believe that they need to do what their parents say even if they don't always like how their parents are treating them. When kids respect the power of their parents, the researchers reported in the journal of Adolescence, their behavior is better. Previous research has also linked firm but caring parenting with kids who have more self﹣control and independence."When children consider their parents to be the reliable figure, they trust the parents and feel that they have a duty to do what their parents tell them to do, " said lead researcher Pick Trinkner.

They live in groups all over the world. As these groups of people live apart from other groups, over the years and centuries they develop their own habits and ideas, which are different from other cultures. One important particular side of every culture is how its people deal with time.Time is not very important in nonindustrial (非工业的) societies. The Nuer people of East Africa, for example, do not even have a word TIME that is in agreement with the abstract thing we call time. The daily lives of the people of such nonindustrial societies are likely to be patterned around their physical needs and natural events rather than around a time schedule (时间表) based on the clock. They cook and eat when they are hungry and sleep when the sun goes down. They plant crops during the growing seasons and harvest them when the crops are ripe. They measure time not by a clock or calendar, but by saying that an event takes place before or after some other event. Frequently such a society measures days in terms of "sleeps" or longer periods in terms of "moons". Some cultures, such as the Eskimos of Greenland measure seasons according to the migration of certain animals.Some cultures which do not have a written language or keep written records have developed interesting ways of "telling time". For example, when several Australian aborigines want to plan an event for a future time, one of them places a stone on a cliff or in a tree. Each day the angle of the sun changes slightly. In a few days, the rays of the sun strike the stone in a certain way. When this happens, the people see that the agreed﹣upon time has arrived and the event can take place.In contrast (成对比), exactly correct measurement of time is very important in modern, industrialized societies.This is because industrialized societies require the helpful efforts of many people in order to work. For a factory to work efficiently (well, quickly and without waste), for example, all of the workers must work at the same time. Therefore, they must know what time to start work in the morning and what time they may go home in the afternoon. Passengers must know the exact time that an airplane will arrive or depart. Students and teachers need to know when a class starts and ends. Stores must open on time in order to serve theircustomers. Complicated (复杂的) societies need clocks and calendars. Thus, we can see that if each person worked according to his or her own schedule, a complicated society could hardly work at all.(1)By saying "Humans are social animals", the author means________.A. they live all over the worldB. they are different from other animalsC. they live in one area as a wholeD. they are divided into many groups.(2)Time is not very important in nonindustrial societies because people in those societies________.A.don't have the word TIME in their languagesB.don't get used to using clocks and other timepiecesC.don't measure time in their daily﹣lives around an exact time scheduleD.don't need to plan their daily lives around an exact time schedule.(3)The Australian aborigines' way of "telling time" is based on________.A. the change of the angle of the sunB. the change of the weatherC. the position of the stoneD. the position of the tree or the cliff.(4)Which of the following might be the best title for this passage?________A. Time and CultureB. The Measurement of TimeC. Time Schedule and Daily LifeD. Clock, Calendar and Society.四.语法填空:阅读下面材料,在空白处填入适当的内容(一个单词)或括号内单词的正确形式.(共 10 小题;每小题 1 分,满分 10 分)Apart from working hard in sports, Kobe Bryant also challenges himself in other areas.

NOK 120.BGetting rid of dirt, in the opinion of most people, is a good thing However, there is nothing fixed about attitudes to dirt.In the early 16th century, people thought that dirt on the skin was a means to block outdisease, as medical opinion had it that washing off dirt with hot water could open up the skin and let ills in. A particular danger was thought to lie in public baths. By 1538, the French king had closed the bath houses in his kingdom. So did the king ofEnglandin 1546. Thus began a long time when the rich and the poor inEuropelived with dirt in a friendly way. Henry IV, king ofFrance, was famously dirty. Upon learning that a nobleman had taken a bath, the king ordered that, to avoid the attack of disease, the nobleman should not go out.Though the belief in the merit(优点) of dirt was long-lived, dirt has no longer been regarded as a nice neighbor ever since the 18th century. Scientifically speaking, cleaning away dirt is good to health. Clean water supply and hand washing are practical means of preventing disease. Yet, it seems that standards of cleanliness have moved beyond science since World War II. Advertisements repeatedly sell the idea: clothes need to be whiter than white, cloths ever softer, surfaces to shine. Has the hate for dirt, however, gone too far?Attitudes to dirt still differ hugely nowadays. Many first-time parents nervously try to warn their children off touching dirt, which might be responsible for the spread of disease. On the contrary, Mary Ruebush, an American immunologist(免疫学家), encourages children to play in the dirt to build up a strong immune system. And thelatter position is gaining some ground.4. The kings ofFranceandEnglandin the 16th century closed bath houses because .A. they lived healthily in a dirty environmentB. they thought bath houses were too dirty to stay inC. they considered bathing as cause of skin diseaseD. They believed disease could be spread in public baths5. Which of the following best describes Henry IV’s attitude to bathing?A. CuriousB. AfraidC. ApprovingD. Uninterested6. How does the passage mainly develop?A. By following the order of time.B. By making comparison.C. By providing examplesD. By following the order of importance.17. What is the author’s purpose in writing the passages?A. To call attention to the danger of dirt.B. To introduce the history of dirt.C. To present the change of views on dirt.D. To stress the role of dirt.CMedha Gupta sometimes felt worried about making the 20-minute walk from the corner where the school bus dropped her off to her home in Herndon -especially during the colder months in winter.Her mother, Divya Gupta had a suggestion: write an app. Shewas half-kidding,but Medha didn't take the challenge lightly. So she set out to work.The result was Safe Travel, an app designed by Medha to help walkers feel more secure when travelling alone. Using the iPhone, a person can program it to send a warning to someone he or she trusts if he or she fails to arrive at a destination within a certain time.It was the first iOS app that Medha had created. While she didn't think much would come from the project, her effort caught the eye of judges for the annual Congressional App. Challenge, who selected her as the winner for Virginia's 10th District.The App Challenge is designed to encourage students to consider careers in science, technology, engineering, and math by experimenting with coding and computer science. Winning students are invited lo attend a reception on Capitol Hill in April and also received $250 in Amazon Web Service credits.Medha said it took her about 40 hours to design, program and test the app. As for her next app? Medha's not certain. She temporarily has her app-development ambitionson holdbecause she's busy teaching herself artificial intelligence to help deal with improper words on Facebook. Yes,she knows that there are teams of engineers probably doing the same thing. But she figures it can't hurt her own part, too.“If we see something wrong with the world, we should do something about it,” she said. “After all, the only one stopping us from doing something is ourselves. ”8. Why did Medha Gupta feel worried?A. It took a long time to walk home.B. It was difficult to write an app.C. It was colder than ever in winter.D. It was unsafe to walk home alone.9.

Achieved.D. Satisfied.11. What's the main idea of the text?A. Medha signed up for the App Challenge.B. Medha designed Safe Travel successfully.C. An app Safe Travel guides walkers home.D. The App Challenge directs students to choose careers.DWhile the arts can' t stop the COVID-19 virus or the social unrest we see in the world today, they can give us insight into the choices we make when moving through crises and chaos. The arts invite everyone to think in new ways.We often experience works of art as something that's pleasing to our senses without a full understanding of the creative effort. Great art often shows us contradictions and crises, and we can learn a great deal from their resolutions(解决). Through our understanding of art, we can gain a deeper understanding of how we might overcome our own challenges. In understanding extremes of contrast, we can see the beauty in art with themes that are not simply pleasing for their magnificent features or qualities.Beethoven offers a wonderful example of moving artfully through crises and chaos. He composed his Symphony No. 9 as his hearing loss became more and more pronounced. The opening of the symphony seems to come out of nowhere, from near silence in the opening to a full expression of what many consider to be the joy of freedom and universal brotherhood with Schiller’s Ode to joy(欢乐颂). Beethoven appears to have created a workof art that not only freed him from his personal struggles, but one that also speaks to the joy of living together in peace and harmony.Have a dialogue between the two opposing parts and you will find that they always start out fighting each other until we come to an appreciation of difference—a oneness of the two opposingforces.The arts offer many lessons that can help us gain the knowledge we need to move more confidently in today’ s competitive and uncertain environment. An openness to arts-based solutions will give you more control over your future.12. What value does art have beyond pleasing people's senses?A. It brings people inner peace.B. It contributes to problem-solving.C. It reduces the possibility of crises.D. It deepens understanding of music.13. What can we learn about Beethoven's Symphony No. 9?A. It celebrates freedom and unity.B. It aims to show crises and chaos.C. It opens with Schiller's Ode to Joy.D. It is unfinished due to his hearing loss.14. What is the author's suggestion on dealing with conflicting forces?A. Leaving things as they are.B. Making a choice between them.C. Separating them from each other.D. Engaging them in a conversation.15. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A. How COVID-19 changes artB. Essentials of Symphony No. 9C. Moving artfully through crisesD. Joy in the eyes of Beethoven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。

Authoritarian parents are more likely to end up with disrespectful children with violent behaviors, the study found, compared to parents who listen to their kids with the goal of gaining trust.It was the first study to look at how parenting styles affect the way teens view their parents and, in turn, how they behave. The study considered three general styles of parenting. Authoritative parents are demanding and controlling while also being warm and sensitive to their children’s needs. Authoritarian parents, on the contrary, are demanding and controlling without the appearance of caring, attachment and receptiveness. They take a “my way or the highway” approach to their kids. Permissive parents, the third group, have warm and receptive qualities, but they set few boundaries and carry out few rules.Using data on early 600 kids from an ongoing study of middle school and high school students in New Hampshire, researchers from the University of New Hampshire were able to find “my way or the highway” parenting with more violent behaviors like robbery, drug-taking, and attacking someone else with the intention of hurting or killing. Firm but loving parenting, on the other hand, led to fewer lawbreakers. Permissive parenting, surprisingly, didn’t seem to make much of a difference either.To explain the rink between parenting style and behavior in kids, the researchers suggested that what matters most is how reasonable kids think their parents’ power is. This sense comes when kids trust that their parents are making the best decisions for them and believe that they need to do what their parents say even if they don’t always like how their parents are treating them. When kids respect the power of their parents, the researchers reported in the journal of Adolescence, their behavior is better. Previous research has also linked firm but caring parenting with kids who have more self-control and independence.“When children consider their parents to be the reliable figure, they trust the parents and feel that they have a duty to do what their parents tell them to do,” said lead researcher Pick Trinkner. “This is very important as the parent doesn’t have to rely on a system of rewards and punishments to control behavior and the child is more likely to follow the rules when the parent is not physically present.”24. Tiger Moms and French Mamas are mentioned in the first paragraph to ______.A. give an example of authoritarian parentingB. show the advantage of parentingC. compare two types of parentingD. introduce the topic25. According to the research, what kind of parenting style is likely to causechildren’s criminal behaviors?A. Caring parentingB. Permissive parentingC. Authoritarian parentingD.

Beating the kids if the kids don’t follow their instructions.C. Refusing to listen to the kid’s requests and demands.D. Setting some rules and checking the kids’ behaviors.27. According to the passage, children are more likely to obey the rules when ______.A. their parents listen to them totallyB. they believe in and accept their parentsC. their parents are sensitive to their needsD. their parents demand and control their behaviorsCA breathtaking trick potentially left over from our ancestors might be found in us — the ability to sense oxygen through our skin.Amphibians, animals such as frogs that can live both on land and in water, have long been known to be capable of breathing through their skin. In fact, the first known lungless frog that breathes only through its skin was discovered recently in the rivers of Borneo.Now the same oxygen sensors found in frog skins and in the lungs of mammals (哺乳动物) have unexpectedly been discovered in the skin of mice.“No one had ever looked,” explained Randall Johnson, a biologist researcher.Mice and frogs are quite distant relatives, so the fact they have these molecules (分子) in common in their skin suggests they might well be found in the skin of other mammals, such as humans.“We have no reason to think that they are not in the skin of people too,” Johnson said.These molecules not only detect oxygen, but help increase levels of vital red blood cells, which carry oxygen around the body. Normal mice breathing in air that is 10 percent oxygen—a dangerously low level similar to conditions at the top of Mount Everest, and about half that of air at sea level. However, mice that had the oxygen sensor HIF-1a genetically removed from their skin failed to produce this hormone (荷尔蒙) even after hours of such low oxygen.These findings, if they hold true in humans, suggest one could raise the level of oxygen circulating inside the body. This could help treat lung diseases and disorders such as anemia (贫血症) without injecting drugs, which make up a multibillion-dollar market, Johnson said.Athletes also often try to get more oxygen delivered to their muscles in order to improve their performance. They often do this by training at high altitudes or in low-oxygen tents. The new study suggests they might want to expose their skin as well as breathing in low-oxygen air to improve their performance. “It’s hard to say what exactly might be done, however—there’s a lot we don’t know yet,” JohnsonexplainedThe scientists detailed their findings in the April 18 issue of the journal Cell.28. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A. Johnson believes that Oxygen sensors also exist in human skin.B. People have to surf the Internet to read detailed findings.C. It has been proved that these findings help treat lung diseases.D. It has long been expected oxygen sensors exist in mice’s skin.29. One of the functions of the molecules mentioned above is _______.A. carrying oxygen around the bodyB. improving athletes’ performanceC. detecting oxygenD. increasing level of oxygen30. What does the underlined word "circulating" in paragraph 8 most probably mean?A balancingB growing C. moving D. gathering31. What is Johnson’s attitude to the application of the findings to the athletes’ training?A. NegativeB. DoubtingC. PositiveD. HesitatingDHumans are social animals. They live in groups all over the world. As these groups of people live apart from other groups, over the years and centuries they develop their own habits and ideas, which are different from other cultures. One important particular side of every culture is how its people deal with time.Time is not very important in nonindustrial (非工业的) societies. The Nuer people of East Africa, for example, do not even have a word TIME that is in agreement with the abstract thing we call time. The daily lives of the people of such nonindustrial societies are likely to be patterned around their physical needs and natural events rather than around a time schedule (时间表) based on the clock. They cook and eat when they are hungry and sleep when the sun goes down. They plant crops during the growing seasons and harvest them when the crops are ripe. They measure time not by a clock or calendar, but by saying that an event takes place before or after some other event. Frequently such a society measures days in terms of “sleeps” or longer periods in terms of “moons”. Some cultures, such as the Eskimos of Greenland measure seasons according to the migration of certain animals.Some cultures which do not have a written language or keep written records have developed interesting ways of “telling time”. For example, when several Australian aborigines want to plan an event for a future time, one of them places a stone on a cliff or in a tree. Each day the angle of the sun changes slightly. In a few days, the rays of the sun strike the stone in a certain way. When this happens, the people see that the agreed-upon time has arrived and the event can take place.In contrast (成对比), exactly correct measurement of time is very important in modern, industrialized societies.This is because industrialized societies require the helpful efforts of many people in order to work. For a factory to work efficiently (well, quickly and without waste), for example, all of the workers must work at the same time. Therefore, they must know what time to start work in the morning and what time they may go home in theafternoon. Passengers must know the exact time that an airplane will arrive or depart. Students and teachers need to know when a class starts and ends. Stores must open on time in order to serve their customers. Complicated (复杂的) societies need clocks and calendars. Thus, we can see that if each person worked according to his or her own schedule, a complicated society could hardly work at all.32. By saying “Humans are social animals”, the author means ______.A. they live all over the worldB. They are all connected in one societyC. they live in their own groups as a wholeD. they are divided into many groups33. Time is not very important in nonindustrial societies because people in those societies ______.A. don’t have the word TIME in their languagesB. don’t get used to using clocks and other timepiecesC. don’t measure time in their daily-lives around an exact time scheduleD. don’t need to plan their daily lives around an exact time schedule34. The Australian aborigines’ way of “telling time” is based on ______.A. the change of the angle of the sunB. the way sunlight was reflectedC. the position of the stoneD. the position of the tree or the cliff35. Which of the following might be the best title for this passage?A. Time and CultureB. The Measurement of TimeC. Time Schedule and Daily LifeD. Clock, Calendar and Society第三部分七选五(共5题:每小题1分,满分5分)Is Dieting OK for Kids?You may know some adults and kids who worry about their weight and say they are going on a diet.
