Some 1 started to turn yellow and the weather became cool. One day, as I was getting ready for school, my mother carelessly handed me my father’s vest(背心)instead of 2 . At that time, I was getting to have a 3 size than my father, so when I put on the vest, I felt as if I wasn’t able to breathe! I realized that it was a small mistake which was 4 by my mother, but somehow the breathless feeling was so strong that it made me very angry. My mother said sorry with a smile, but I shouted at her 5 thinking much. I got it off my body so wildly that I made a hole in it. I put on my own vest and rushed out of the house 6 my mother could stop me.Later, my mother shared her bad feelings with my father, “See what your son has done.” Instead of saying he would scold(责备) or beat me, my father 7 asked my mother to mend the vest.Later when my mother told me about my father’s response(反应), I felt terribly sorry for my bad behavior(行为). My father’s gentle kindness taught me a lesson which I would 8 forget.On that day, I decided not to let anger 9 me any longer. Of course, there are times when I am angry. However, whenever that happens, I will try to remember my father’s 10 .

So the 6-year-old asked Alexa to get them. Alexa wasn’t her mom or babysitter. It was a voice-activated home assistant powered by AI (人工智能). And it made Brooke’s wishes come true. A few days later, much to her parents’ surprise, a $170 dollhouse and four pounds of cookies showed up. They ate the cookies and gave away the dollhouse to a local hospital. And that’s not the end of the story. When a news reporter told the story of what happened on TV, Alexa devices(设备) in many listeners’ homes woke up and tried to order dollhouses!Alexa isn’t the only AI willing to serve you. Apple Homepod has Siri, Google Home has its Assistant, and the upcoming Galaxy Home device will have Bixby. People who have these devices use them mainly for listening to music, checking the weather, and setting timers. According to a report from The Information, nowadays voice shopping is rare. But many scientists predict a boom(增长) in voice shopping in the near future. Is that a good thing?▲.You can shout out an order as soon as you think of it, even if you are cooking, cleaning, or driving. In addition, people with disabilities who are unable to use a keyboard or mouse can shop without any help.But voice shopping has its disad vantages. Unwanted dollhouses aren’t the biggest problem. It’s usually very easy to cancel an order or return products. The thing that worries some people is that these assistants are always listening. They have to be able to respond when you want them. So they listen for “Alexa” or “OK Google” or another order. When they hear it, they start recording the conversation. Some have worried about what happens to these recordings. Should companies be allowed to use them to learn about people’s shopping habits? A nd what if someone hacks(入侵) the device? The CIA found a way to hack smart TVs to turn them into spies that listen all the time. Others could do the same with any smart device.What do you think? Are you ready to start voice shopping?11.From the passage, we know that Alexa . ( )A.can look after the babyB.can cook delicious foodC.is a toy doll sold onlineD.is one kind of AI device12.The underlined word “rare” in Paragraph 2 probably means . ( )A.unusualB.expensiveC.harmfulD.impossible13.Which of the following is the best to fill in the “▲” in Paragraph 3? ( )A.Convenience is the main advantage of voice shoppingB.The cost of voice shopping is lower than other waysC.The popularity of voice shopping is increasingD.The technology of voice shopping needs improving14.Paragraph 4 mainly tells us that when people try voice shopping. ( )A.AI sometimes forgets people’s ordersB.personal information might be hackedC.it’s difficult to cancel or return productsD.the needs for products can’t be satisfied15.This article is probably taken from .( )A.a novelB.a guide bookC.an advertisementD.a science and technology magazinePassage 2It’s not WASTE until it is WASTED!With the World Environment Day coming,our school is now requiring every student to form a habit of sorting the waste.Here in our schoolyard we lay four different colours of rubbish bins for different kinds of rubbish.The red is for harmful waste; the blue is for waste that can be recycled; the green is for kitchen waste; the yellow is for other waste.The followings are some instructions for you.Glass:Empty bottles without caps can be recycled to make new glass bottles.Warning:Mirrors and light bulbs must not be included in the glass waste.Paper:Newspapers,magazines,boxes must be clean enough to be recycled.Warning:Paper tissues and wallpaper are not recyclable as paper and should be kept separately.PMD waste:Packaging made of plastic or metal and drink boxes are used to make new packaging.Warning:Plastic pots (e.g.yoghurt pots), plastic bags must not be included with the PMD waste.Harmful waste:out-of-date drugs, used batteries(电池), paint and oil…Besides,if you don’t need your old bikes any more, our school volunte ers will collect them.We’re going to fix them up and then give them away to kids who don’t have enough money for a bike.To find out more about recycling, you can visit our school website.根据上文内容判断正(T)误(F)。

Each bird was 2 with a sack(麻布袋) and only the legs were outside.The teacher told the students that the test would be to watch each pair of bird legs and write down the name and the living habits of each bird.The student looked at each pair of bird legs. 3 of them looked the same to him. He began to get upset. He stayed up all night studying, but now he had to identify birds by their legs. The more he 4 about it, the more frustrated he got.He 5 not think of any answers after a long time. He went to the teacher’s desk and said, “What a strange test! 6 could anyone tell differences among birds by their legs?

So, improving memory is important to success in studying. But is there anything that we can do about it? One way might be walking backwards. According to a new study, walking backwards, whether doing it really or just imagining it, can improve the memory in the short term.In the study, 114 volunteers were asked to watch a video. In the video a woman had her bag stolen. Then they answered 20 questions about the details shown in the video. Ten minutes later, the volunteers were divided into three groups. The first two groups were told to move forwards or backwards 10 meters while the third group was asked to stay still on the same point. The researchers found that the backwards-walking group got two more correct answers on average(平均) than the other two groups.This suggests that a relationship between time and space is basic to the way our minds form memories. When we walk back wards, everything we learn becomes strange to us. “This forces the brain to think in a different way—the brain needs to match all the things again and changes the focus,” the researcher Christine Weber said. It almost always means that our brain needs to be more active in the short time. Naturally, our short-term memory will be improved.Backward walking also plays an important role in physical health, especially fitness. A study published in Journal of Biomechanics in 2012 found that there is less pain in the knees.Moreover, backward walking, compared to forward walking, is more challenging. It requires you to use muscles(肌肉) and movements that you probably seldom use, making it a perfect way to change your exercise habit for greater fitness gains. At the same time, by making people put in extra effort, it naturally burns more fat and calories.1.Backward walking can according to the passage. ( )A. improve the memory in the long termB.improve the memory in the short termC.cause much more pain in our kneesD.force the brain to think in the same way2.Which of the following is the correct order according to the passage? ( )①The backwards-walking group got two more correct answers on average.②The volunteers answered 20 questions about the details sh own in the video.③The volunteers were divided into 3 groups and 1 group moved backward 10 meters.④The volunteers watched a video in which a woman’s bag was stolen.A. ④②③①B.④③①②C.④②①③D.③④②①3.What does the underlined word “It” in Paragraph 5 refer to? ( )A. Short-term memory.B.Physical health.C.Forward walking.D.Backward walking.4.In which part of the newspaper can we read this passage? ( )A. Youth VoiceB.Star StoriesC.Our WorldD.Science StudyⅢ. 选词填空阅读下列短文,用方框内所给单词的正确形式填空。

Each student would “name” their potatoes after people they did not like. 1 , the number of potatoes would be 2 depending on how many people each student hated.The next day, with their potatoes, all the students went to school 3 the game. Some kids had just one or two potatoes, while others had as many as five or six. The teacher then told the children that they would have to carry their potatoes with 4 wherever they went for one week. Several days 5 . Some of the students started to complain(抱怨), as their potatoes began to rot(腐烂) and 6 bad. The students who carried 7 potatoes began to get unsatisfied with the heavy bags.One week later, the game 8 . The teacher asked, “How did you 9 carrying around your potatoes for a week?”The students complained once again. The teacher simply smiled and said, “This is what it’s like to carry hatred(仇恨) in your heart. You have to carry it with you wherever you go.

Children might say that a year lasts forever. But your parents might say that a whole year can pass “in the blink of an eye”. Why does time seem to pass faster as we get older?According to scientists from Duke University, our brains degrade(退化)and change over time. This physical change causes the rate at which we take in and deal with new information to fall down.Babies, for example, move their eyes much more often than grown-ups because they’re dealing with images at a faster rate, Adrian Bejan from the university told the Daily Mail. They take in a lot of information and do many things in a single day. This makes them feel like a single day lasts for a long time. However, as people’s brains degrade over time, fewer images are dealt with in the same amount of time. Therefore, older people receive less information during a day than younger people. This causes things to seem as if they’re happening more quickly.What’s more, people may also “feel” time differently due to psychological(心理的) reasons. People may measure time by the number of memorable events that can be recalled(回忆) within a certain period.Have you ever noticed that when you recall your firsts(first day of school, first family vacation, first birthday party, etc.)? They seem to be in slow motion. That’s because when something is a “first”, there are many exciting things to remember. Recalling these memories makes you feel like they took forever, according to David Eagleman of the Baylor College of Medicine in the US.For many grown-ups, life is made up of daily things. When they look back, they might feel like there are not many interesting things to remember. Therefore, time seems to be moving faster to them.1.The phrase “in the blink of an eye” has the similar meaning to “”.( )A. carefullyB.directlyC.slowlyD.quickly2.Time seems to pass faster as we get older because . ( )A. human brains become smaller and smaller over timeB.grown-ups often forget things easily and quicklyC.grown-ups don’t deal with information as quickly as babiesD.grown-ups are able to do a lot of things in a single day3.What can we know according to David Eagleman? ( )A. Babies move their eyes much more often than grown-ups.B.Psychological factors can affect how a person feels about time.C.Recalling memories makes people feel like time is going faster.D.Memorable events can slow down the pace of brain degradation.4.The author writes this article to . ( )A. explain why people feel time differently as they get oldB.explain why babies learn things faster than grown-upsC.encourage people to make better use of their timeD.encourage people to create more memorable memoriesⅢ. 选词填空阅读下列短文,用方框内所给单词的正确形式填空。

These days, many people are facing the stress in the use of mobile phones. They reach for their mobile phones when they wake up in the morning, and keep checking their social media apps to get the latest updates(更新).A report from Google shows that 70 percent of people don’t want to spend much time on their phones. This is why Google introduced an app called Dashboard for the new Android operating system(安卓操作系统). This new app includes functions(功能) that help users manage the time. For example, users can see how many times they’ve unlocked their phones, how many times they’ve checked their social media apps, and how much time they spend on each app every day.Once the users see this information, they’ll be able to make some cha nges. With the App Timer(计时) function, users can set a time limit for how long they can use each app for every day. After they’ve hit the limit, they won’t be able to use the app until the next day. And with another function, the app gets incoming calls silent when the user puts the phone face down.If people truly want to make full use of their free time instead of losing hours on their phones, these new functions are just one way of doing that.After all, who needs to use an app to stop you from using other apps? The easiest answer would be just to use your willpower.11.Where does the users’ stress come from? ( )A.Too many updates of the apps.B.Too many functions of the apps.C.Too much information they receive.D.Too much time they spend on the phone.12.Which of the following is NOT included in Dashboard’s functions?( )A.It stops the users from using their willpower.B.It checks how much time the users spend on apps.C.It lists how many times the users have unlocked the phone.D.It shows how many times the users have checked social media apps.13.What does the underlined word “limit” in Paragraph 4 mean?

It seems she’s never tired of talking. She talks here and there, day and night. More seriously, I feel like we don’t have much in common. She doesn’t always understand what I’m trying to say. What should I do?Yours,Jim Dear Jim,I know how you feel. It’s not easy being your age. And it’s not easy being a mother, either. It’s common for kids to have trouble talking with parents, and talkative mothers are not new to teenagers. But remember,she’s nagging(唠叨)you because she just wants what’s best for you. Talking i s her way to show love and care. And she also wants to know more about you. After a day’s work, she’s tired too. But she will never be tired of caring about you. Kids should learn to understand and care about parents.In my opinion, it’s helpful to share school life with her. Then, you talk and she listens. Doing some housework together with her is another good way for you two to know each other better. And if possible, often tell her your feelings about the things around you. Always keep in mind: be polite and patient.Yours,Dr.Green根据上文内容判断正(T)误(F)。

By the time we got home and he had a quick dinner and shower, it was 10:30—an hour and a half later than a child who gets up at 6:30 should be going to bed. We love baseball. My son is having fun, getting exercise, and learning patience, teamwork and sports spirit. But the truth is that the game also influences his sleep.As parents, we want good things for our children. We want them to be healthy both in body and in mind. To this end, we look for ways to help our kids grow and develop. We help them with their homework. We sign them up for dance, soccer and baseball. We encourage our kids to take honors courses(培优课程)or to have after-school jobs. And we praise them for hard-earned success and achievements.However, the irony is that all of these activities and responsibilities that we are giving our children to make their lives colourful could be badly influencing their health and taking happiness away. Activities, responsibilities, and goals are good. But if we want our kids to realize their full physical, learning and social ability, sleep is important. We have to start taking sleep seriously.Parents make bedtime routines and carry out strict rules about night time. But in fact,these measures aren’t enough because getting our kids enough sleep isn’t just about carrying out stricter bedtime. It actually requires more than that. In order to ensure our kids get the sleep they need, both parents and schools should make an effort.11.From the passage we know the writer’s son .( )A.isn’t good at sportsB.wastes time every nightC.can’t get enough sleepD.always hangs out with friends12.What does the underlined word “irony” mean in Chinese?

( )A.Advice on how to sleep well.B.Ways of changing kids’ education.C.The importance of sleeping well.D.Measures parents and schools should take.Passage 2Last fall I walked with a friend in my hometown.He was regarded as the most stupid among my childhood playmates, but he has now been Number One in an enterprise(企业).When we came to a fork, a blind man walked from another direction. Testing the road with his bamboo pole, the blind man was walking very slowly towards the road we were going in.I talked with my friend as we were walking.I told him about my five job-hoppings(换工作) within two years and the experiences I was still going through in the plight(困境) now.My friend nodded and smiled, but he kept silent all along. After a while, I occasionally looked back and found the blind man had disappeared.“Where is the blind man?” I asked.“He has walked so far!” said my friend with a smile.“How can a blind man walk much faster than us?It’s strange!” I exclaimed(惊叫).“How impossible? W e looked in all directions and walked half-heartedly while he was walking whole-heartedly,” said my friend.I was shocked to hear this.What a simple but profound (深刻的) truth! Just think, if I had learneda little spirit of the blind man walking, how could I be down and out now?Although the scene has passed for one year, what my friend said keeps lingering in my ears.根据上文内容判断正(T)误(F)。

What should I do?Yours,Jim Dear Jim,I know how you feel. It’s not easy being your age. And it’s not easy being a mother, either. It’s common for kids to have trouble talking with parents, and talkative mothers are not new to teenagers. But remember,she’s nagging(唠叨)you because she just wants what’s best for you. Talking is her way to show love and care. And she also wants to know more about you. After a day’s work, she’s tired too. But she will never be tired of caring about you. Kids s hould learn to understand and care about parents.In my opinion, it’s helpful to share school life with her. Then, you talk and she listens. Doing some housework together with her is another good way for you two to know each other better. And if possible, often tell her your feelings about the things around you. Always keep in mind: be polite and patient.Yours,Dr.Green 根据上文内容判断正(T)误(F)。

A new study useda computer model to predict how just three grams less a day would affect heart disease in the United States.Here is the result: 10% fewer heart attacks, 8% fewer strokes, 4% fewer deaths, 11% fewer cases of heart disease, and 240 billion dollars in health care savings.Researchers found it could prevent 100,000 heart attacks and 92,000 deaths every year.The study is in The New England Journal of Medicine. Kirsten Bibbins-Domingo at the University of California, San Francisco was the lead author. She said people would not even notice a difference in taste with three grams, or one half teaspoon, less salt per day. The team also included researchers at Stanford and Columbia University.The government says the average American man eats ten grams of salt a day. The American Heart Association advises no more than three grams for healthy people. It says salt in the American diet has increased fifty percent since the 1970's, while blood pressure has also risen. Less salt can lead to lower blood pressure.New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg is leading effort called the National Salt Reduction Initiative. The idea is to put pressure on food companies and restaurants to use less salt. But some people don't agree. They call it government interference. They say that food companies and restaurants are free and they know what to do. The government shouldn't make any decisions instead of them.Mayor Bloomberg has already succeeded in other areas, like requiring fast food places in the city to list calorie information. Now a study by the Seattle Children's Research Institute shows that the calorie information on the menu can influence what parents order for their children.1.Kirsten Bibbins-Domingo is . （）A.a journalist from The New England Journal of MedicineB.a teacher from the University of CaliforniaC.a leader of the American Heart AssociationD.an expert from the National Salt Reduction Initiative2.According to the passage, is are NOT related to salt in diet. （）A.cancersB.strokesC.blood pressureD.heart attacks3.The underlined word “interference” probably means in the passage. （）A.fightB.noiseC.supportD.force4.From the text we know . （）A.Bloomberg succeeded in making the food companies and restaurants use less saltB.we may notice nothing in taste if three grams less salt is used in our food every dayC.the blood pressure has increased 50% while people have taken more salt since the 1970'sD.240 billion dollars is wasted in the US every year because people eat less salt5.What's the main idea of the passage? （）A.Dishes with less salt are more delicious.B.Salt is the cause of heart disease.C.Taking less salt is good for health.D.Michael Bloomberg and salt reduction.Ⅲ.任务型阅读阅读短文,并按要求完成1~5题。

The black hole named Powehi is about 55 million light years from Earth. This means light travelling from that point takes 55 million years to be 1 on Earth. When we look at the picture of Powehi, it’s like we are looking into the past. Light started a journey from Powehi to planet earth millions of years ago, 2 light from the sun takes only about 8 minutes and 20 seconds.Black holes have alway s attracted scientists because a black hole isn’t a hole. 3 , it is a place in space with a lot of matter(物质) inside. It has so much gravity that our sun can be pulled into it 4 . Even light can’t avoid it. As a result, it’s always black.It was an amazing discovery. It 5 many ideas about black holes. It also proved Albert Einstein was 6 about his Theory of General Relativity (相对论) which explains the relationship between space and time.This discovery is more than a story about the development of technology that 7 humans to see a black hole for the first time. It’s also a story of how these scientists from all over the world worked together for many years to have this great 8 .Scientists also point out that the first picture of Powehi is the 9 of many more discoveries. One of the important lessons we learn from this picture is to keep learning. Aristotle once said, “The more you know, the more you 10 you don’t know.” You never know what amazing discovery you will find.( )1.A.seen B.touched C.covered ed( )2.A.after B.until C.while D.because( )3.A.In all B.In fact C.In place D.In order( )4.A.freely B.easily C.clearly D.exactly ( )5.A.forgot B.chose C.doubted D.confirmed( )6.A.right B.sorry C.worried D.crazy( )7.A.allowed B.forced C.advised D.invited( )8.A.attraction B.application C.achievement D.agreement ( )9.A.chance B.challenge C.beginning D.boundary( )10.A.realize B.report C.refuse D.repeatⅡ.阅读理解Passage 1Do you find it difficult to put down your mobile phone?If yes, you’re not alone. These days, many people are facing the stress in the use of mobile phones. They reach for their mobile phones when they wake up in the morning, and keep checking their social media apps to get the latest updates(更新).A report from Google shows that 70 percent of people don’t want to spend much time on their phones. This is why Google introduced an app called Dashboard for the new Android operating system(安卓操作系统). This new app includes functions(功能) that help users manage the time. For example, users can see how many times they’ve unlocked their phones, how many times they’ve checked their social media apps, and how much time they spend on each app every day.Once the users see this information, they’ll be able to make some changes. With the App Timer(计时) function, users can set a time limit for how long they can use each app for every day. After they’ve hit the limit, they won’t be able to use t he app until the next day. And with another function, the app gets incoming calls silent when the user puts the phone face down.If people truly want to make full use of their free time instead of losing hours on their phones, these new functions are just one way of doing that.After all, who needs to use an app to stop you from using other apps? The easiest answer would be just to use your willpower.11.Where does the users’ stress come from? ( )A.Too many updates of the apps.B.Too many functions of the apps.C.Too much information they receive.D.Too much time they spend on the phone.12.Which of the following is NOT included in Dashboard’s functions?( )A.It stops the users from using their willpower.B.It checks how much time the users spend on apps.C.It lists how many times the users have unlocked the phone.D.It shows how many times the users have checked social media apps.13.What does the underlined word “limit” in Paragraph 4 mean?

The following morning, 1 he entered the classroom, he saw ten birds on the desks. Each bird was 2 with a sack（麻布袋） and only the legs were outside.The teacher told the students that the test would be to watch each pair of bird legs and write down the name and the living habits of each bird.The student looked at each pair of bird legs. 3 of them looked the same to him. He began to get upset. He stayed up all night studying, but now he had to name birds by their legs. The more he 4 about it, the sadder he got.He 5 not think of any answers after a long time. He went to the teacher's desk and said, “What a strange test! 6 could anyone tell differences among birds by their legs? I'm afraid I have to take the exam later.” 7 these words, the student put his test paper on the desk and walked to the door.The teacher was 8 . The class was so big that he didn't know every student's 9 , so when the student reached the door, the teacher 10 out, “One moment, boy.

Since then, the students and teachers in it have studied the modern garbage in different cities.To study the garbage, the students had to travel to landfills（填埋场）, the places where cities bury（填埋） their garbage. While the students were studying the garbage, they wore special clothes. Students were very careful when they opened bags of garbage.One important thing the students have learned from studying the garbage is that the garbage in landfills disappears very slowly. That was surprising to both the students and many scientists who had thought that about 70% of the garbage in landfills would disappear quickly. Even in cities where it rains a lot, the students found newspapers from 1948, 40-year-old hot dogs, and vegetables from 1970. And the students also found many more empty bottles of cola than they expected.How to dispose of our garbage well depends on what kind of garbage it is: regular（普通的）garbage, dangerous materials, or recyclable materials, such as newspapers and glass bottles. Regular garbage goes to regular landfills. Dangerous materials are harmful to people's health and the environment. They shouldn't go into regular landfills.Homes are full of dangerous waste. One kind of the dangerous waste in homes is batteries. When batteries are buried directly（直接地） in a landfill, they often break open. The poison inside them moves through rain water to the bottom of the landfill. Then it can pollute the natural water in the ground.Another dangerous waste from homes is motor oil. When people pour old motor oil on the ground or throw it in the garbage, it pollutes the environment.Our garbage problem is not new, but as the world's population continues to grow, it will becomea bigger and bigger problem.1.The Garbage Project started at the University of Arizona in . （）A.1973B.1970C.1948D.19402.To study the modern garbage, the students had to do many things except . （）A.wearing special clothesB.traveling to landfillsC.burying the garbage themselvesD.opening bags of garbage3.The underlined words “dispose of” in Paragraph 4 mean . （）A.crash intoB.deal withC.worry aboutD.put up4.From the article, we know old motor oil . （）A.should go to regular landfillsB.isn't harmful garbageC.mustn't be poured on the groundD.never pollutes the environment5.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? （）A.There are only two kinds of dangerous waste in homes.B.Scientists thought about 70% of the garbage in landfills would disappear slowly.C.The students found empty bottles of cola were not as many as they expected.D.Batteries often break open when they are buried directly in a landfill.Ⅲ.任务型阅读阅读短文,并按要求完成1~5题。

After more than 30 years of development, the company has now beaten Apple and become the world's second-largest maker of smartphones behind Korea's Samsung. It has also become the world's largest supplier(供应商) of 5G.But recently,Huawei faced some difficulties. The U.S. government ordered a ban(禁令) on its sales in America. American officials said Huawei gave information that it collected to the Chinese government. At the same time, the U.S. government planned to stop selling parts and services to Huawei, which was believed that Huawei's business would be hurt.“We have never received such a request from th e Chinese government and we have never tried to get into other systems to collect information.” Ren Zhengfei, Huawei's founder and president said. “The ban from the U.S. would have little effect on our company. Huawei has enough ability to deal with the pr oblems.” Ren added.In an interview several years ago, Ren Zhengfei said,“I started Huawei with only ￡4,000 at the beginning, but now it has become a $100 billion company. The experience was not as romantic(浪漫的) as you imagine.”Facing the ban of the U.S., Huawei is growing. Huawei's smartphone sales around the world rose 50 percent compared to a year earlier in the first three months of 2019. At the same time, sales from both Samsung and Apple fell. So far, Huawei has grown into the world's largest telecommunication equipment(电信设备)supplier, selling in 170 countries.

City-living trees suffer(遭受) a loss of carbon storage(碳储量). That means trees produce less energy from the air.Now researchers say more must be done to deal with the situation. Ian Smith, a PhD student of Boston University in the United States, said, “Cities are in the important position in fighting against rising temperatures and increasing CO2.” “We find tha t tree planting alone may not be enough to keep and increase city canopy cover(树冠覆盖率). Because of the age and size of the present canopy, efforts to improve and protect tree health are badly needed for increasing city tree cover and canopy cover.”The research team used a model to watch changes among street trees for several planting and management methods. Researchers also used the model to watch tree growth, death and planting rates(率)both among trees in Boston city and forests in the countryside in Massachusetts.It was discovered that rates of carbon cycling and growth rates among city trees were nearly four times faster than those in the countryside. However, loss of carbon storage and death rates are also higher, especially death rates are more than double higher than those in countryside forests.The study, published in PLOS ONE, has reminded scientists to encourage communities to do more to plant and protect trees. It is important to increase city canopy cover and carbon storage.Researchers say planting and protecting will be needed to make sure cities can develop healthily, but more needs to be done to have a better understanding of city trees—which may be different from countryside forests.1.According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE? ( )A.The more carbon storage loses, the more energy the trees produce from the air.B.The higher the levels of CO2 are, the harder it will be for the plants to survive.C.If we plant enough trees, we are sure to increase city canopy cover.D.Cities do better in fighting against rising temperatures and increasing CO2.2.Paragraph 4 mainly tells us . ( )A.the results of the studyB.the discoveries from the researchersC.the methods of the studyD.the suggestions from the researchers3.What does “those” in Paragraph 5 refer to?( )A.Death rates.B.Rates of carbon cycling.C.Growth rates.D.Loss of carbon storage.4.The writer’s main purpose of writing the passage is . ( )A.to teach us how to improve and protect tree healthB.to warn us that trees in cities live fast but die youngC.to let us have a better understanding of city treesD.to tell us to take action to increase city canopy coverⅢ. 选词填空阅读下列短文,用方框内所给单词的正确形式填空。

I could only blame(责备)1. In the family, nobody else went into the kitchen except me. But that night, as I 2to him that a colander is the thing with holes in it, I wondered what else I hadn’t 3Ray for.As parents, while we focus on our children’s confidence and characters, we perhaps don’t always consider that we are 4raising someone’s future roommates, boyfriends, husbands,or fathers.5I came up with a plan: I would offer Ray a private home economics course. I was 6to find that he didn’t say no. For two hours, three days a week, Ray was all mine.I knew that he would rather have been playing basketball with his friends than 7to mend socks with his mother, but in fact he was learning, and more than just housekeeping. “I appreciate what you do 8 a mom,” he told me one day. Ray now realizes there’s 9masculine(男子气概的)about being helpless.Now, not only can he make his own dinner, but also he can make a big meal for his family. That’s 10I call a man.

However, not everyone is a fan of them. On Sept. 6, an article described some male stars as too effeminate.This came after CCTV was criticized for inviting several young male stars to perform on First Class for the New Semester,an educational TV show for primary and secondary school students. After that, many parents left comments online, saying the stars in the show had a bad influence on their children.The popularity of effeminate male stars is partly down to the Japanese and South Korean pop culture, an expert told China Daily. However, the “femininity” of males isn’t a recent social phenomenon. In fact, being effeminate was popular among Chinese men centuries ago.Indeed, the debate about effeminate male stars has been going on for a while. In July, a Hong Kong singer said that he feels tired of seeing effeminate male stars during the singing reality show Sing! China. “It isn’t that they’re not good, but we should discover ourselves,” He said during the show. His opinion was shared by a Chinese director. “Some young actors are feminine and they should be more manly,” he said.Deng Xiquan, head of the Youth Research Institute at the China Youth and Children Research Center, believes such a phenomenon is completely natural.“It will be replaced by a new youth culture at some stage. If a man has feminine beauty, this doesn’t mean that he lacks responsibility,” Deng told China Daily. Deng’s opinion was echoed by the People’s Daily.“A man’s strength should be judged on the basis of their inner qualities—not their physical appearance,” it wrote.1.From the third paragraph, we can know that .()A. the popularity of effeminacy appeared in Japan firstB.young, effeminate male stars are not popular in South KoreaC.in China, being effeminate was popular hundreds of years agoD.Chinese experts don’t think effeminate male stars are popular2.Which of the following is TRUE about the Hong Kong singer?()A.

That night, my car crashed 1 a tree and everything has changed ever since.I lost most of my right 2 , and I was left bleeding with several broken bones. At the hospital, my body was 3 , but my mind was still very clear. I just kept 4 myself to hold on. Life must go on since I was still 5 .Two weeks later, I was allowed to go home. 6 I left the hospital, the fight was far from over. My left leg was badly hurt in that accident as well.As a result, I had to receive different 7 during the next few years. And soon, more of my right leg had to be cut off. This made it harder to wear my artificial leg(假肢),so I donated it to another girl who couldn't 8 one. The joy of being able to provide this gift for someone else was 9 than the happiness I felt on any day I could wear it myself.People often tell me they are 10 of me for staying strong.

The event is to help people to pay attention to the disappearance of the world's languages: many of them are disappearing each year. UNESCO sees this as a terrible fact.What happens when a language dies out? Something great is lost—not just sounds and marks but the way that people understand the world and communicate with each other. We keep different cultures and traditions through languages. Kill a language and all these are killed too.Through IMLD, more and more people come to realize the terrible situation and try to stop it.Google's 2018 Endangered(濒临灭绝的) Languages Project is a good example. Many speakers and protectors of endangered languages upload(上传) texts, audios and videos to the project website. They want to introduce the way that people communicate and express themselves around the world.The Myaamia Project is the same kind of effort to revive the language spoken by the Miami tribes(部落) of the United States. Project members work to encourage people to study and communicate with this language, which died out in the 1960s.These activities give life to those endangered languages. People who work to keep languages alive are not limited to the past. Many young people design apps and use social media to support their activities. They “spread the word” to save the word.So, while the problem of disappearing languages remains a very serious one, there is hope. We all have a special feeling of our mother language. This is why we should remember the wise words of late president of South Africa, Nelson Mandela: “If you talk to a man in a language he understands, that goes to his head. If you talk to a man in his own language, that goes to his heart.”1.UNESCO holds IMLD every year in order to help people to .A.learn and use endangered languagesB.show their talents in learning languagesC.practise reading skills of mother languagesD.realize the situation of endangered languages2.What did people do in Google's 2018 Endangered Languages Project?A.Discuss how to make good use of Google.B.Offer online courses on endangered languages.C.Share materials about endangered languages online.D.Translate endangered languages into mother languages.3.What does the underlined word “revive” mea n in Paragraph 4?A.创造B.学习C.复活D.清除4.What can we infer(推断) from Paragraph 5?A.It is more difficult to protect endangered languages.B.The disappearance of languages has already stopped.C.Young people don't care about endangered languages.D.Young people have creative ways to protect languages.5.The writer mentions Nelson Mandela's words in order to .A.tell the importance of one's mother languageB.show his contributions to language protectionC.tell the trouble in learning endangered languagesD.show the possibility of protecting mother languagesⅢ.[2020·原创]任务阅读阅读下面短文,根据短文内容填写表格,每空限填一词．．．．．．。

She feels lucky 3 her family treated her in just the same way as the other members.Although Katy didn't have legs, she believed she could 4 anything.

It's thought that the number of teenagers with mental illness around the world will increase by half by 2020.It will become one of the main causes of illness, and even death.In China, the picture isn't bright, either. About one tenth of teenagers under the age of 17 have a mental health challenge.The world is changing fast. Study and relationships have always caused stress, but today the stress is much higher than before, the WHO said.A research center in Oxford University says that young people today have a lot of stress at school. For example, they experience bullying. In a 2017 report, the center noted that the Internet was a special source of stress. Online, young people often see “messages about perfection” and this causes the young “great uncertainty about their futures”, says the center.Also, according to China Daily, Chinese people don't ask for help with their mental problems. They fear that others will think less of them if they say that they are in mental trouble. Elaine Peng, a US mental health educator, makes a similar point. And in the UK, over three quarters of young people believe their mental problems have a social stigma. It was reported in 2017 that a quarter of young UK people wouldn't ask for help if they developed a mental problem.Young people who don't ask for help for their condition may be creating problems for themselves in the future. Elaine Peng warned that, “If we hide our mental health, it may remain a problem forever.”“My message for young people is, if you feel something is wrong within y ou—ask for help,” he told China Daily.1.Which of the following is NOT the cause of stress according to the passage? （）A.Heavy schoolworkB.Being bullied at school.C.Some information from the Internet.D.Certainty about the future.2.Why don't Chinese people ask for help with their mental problems? （）A.They don't think them serious.B.They can get over them in time.C.They can keep their mental health secret.D.They are afraid of being looked down upon.3.What does the underlined word “stigma” most probably mean in Chinese?（）A.Shame.B.Impression.C.Rescue.D.Damage.4.Elaine Peng advised the teenagers with mental illness to . （）A.think less of themselvesB.avoid being bulliedC.ask for help as soon as possibleD.stay away from the Internet5.The main purpose of the passage is to . （）A.ask research centers for helpB.tell about teenagers' stressesC.call public attention on teenagers with mental illnessD.show some different opinions from different countriesⅢ.任务型阅读阅读短文,并按要求完成1~5题。

小卷速测(八) 完形填空+阅读理解D+回答问题(限时:20分钟)Ⅰ. 完形填空Lyle’s Second GoIn 1982, when I was coaching the Raiders, the owner of the team talked with me about a possible trade for Lyle Alzado.After watching him on tape, I didn’t think he was that good, but the owner felt we could make Lyle better by creating the right environment for him.We made the 1 .That summer at training camp,Lyle was having a hard time.He had that look in his eyes that many young players and some old players get when things aren’t going 2 .One morning Lyle came into my office and he looked like he hadn’t slept.Here was a huge man, with his head about as 3 as it could go.We talked, or rather, I listened.The main point was that Lyle felt his career(职业生涯) was over and it would be best for him and for the team if he retired(退役). He apologized for 4 us since we had just traded for him.Lyle was always an emotional person.This is one of the reasons he was a good player.He 5 all that emotional energy with him, ready to fire out at the snap of the ball(开球).Now he was in front of me, almost crying.I thought for a moment, realizing we had to keep that 6 going.Then I went through my reasons why he should not retire.At the end of our talk, I said,“You go out and play your very best, and let us 7 if you still have it.Personally, I think you do.”In January 1984.Tampa Bay Stadium.Super Bowl XVIII.With less than two minutes remaining, we were leading 38-9.We were the world champions of professional football.I saw Lyle, crying like a baby.I had to turn away quickly,or I would have joined him in 8 .I remembered that morning in my office, and what Lyle, and what the Raiders, had achieved since he came to us.If Lyle hadn’t given his career another shot, he wouldn’t have had this victory.Maybe the Raiders wouldn’t have had this victory.During that moment, I felt one of the greatest satisfactions of my coaching career.( )1.A.deal B.plan C.argument D.mistake( )2.A.away B.over C.well D.fast( )3.A.low B.cool C.clear D.heavy( )4.A.pushing B.refusing C.cheating D.disappointing( )5.A.faced B.carried C.received D.imagined( )6.A.ball B.fire C.time D.talk( )7.A.guess B.wonder C.decide D.predict( )8.A.cheers B.pain C.peace D.tearsⅡ. 阅读理解Students in western Ohio(俄亥俄州) have to say “bye-bye” to snowy days. Snow may fall, but students won’t be able to spend the days sledding(滑雪橇). Classes will continue—online. Officials say that holding electronic workdays (e-days) will help students keep up with their studies. It will also prevent requiring students to make up schooldays later in June.Which would you prefer:spending a cold day on a computer, or sitting in school in June when you should be on vacation? Jordan Dewar, a student reporter, holds the opinion that having online work on a snowy day is the better choice, “You would be working on a day that you already planned on having schoolwork.”“Having extra days of school in summer can interfere with(妨碍) families’ vacation plans. Besides, what if your school does not have air conditioning? Imagine sweating through seven hours at school on a hot June day when you could have been relaxing by a pool with your family. Doesn’t an e-day sound better than that?” Jordan Dewar said.For some students, it would be easier to concentrate(专注) on e-days than on makeup days. “You can do a little work online, go play, and then come back later,” says Rachel Meyers, 12. “But on June days you would just have to sit there for seven hours, thinking about how you could be outside, so y ou lose focus.”There are some students arguing that it’s not fair to ditch snowy days, however. They say that snowy days give them a much-needed break. They also note that missing a day here and there is not enough to put them behind. Most students in Silver Valley School think one problem of e-days is that sometimes siblings(兄弟姐妹们) have to share computers at home. In addition, it punishes the students who don’t have computers at home. When school starts again after e-days, these students will be left behind and have to work double-time to catch up.“School budget cuts(预算削减) across the country are expected to continue into the next school year,” the American Association of School Administrators (AASA) Website states. “The school wouldn’t be able to afford both online classes and taking care of the school,” Austin Krewson, an eighth grader, says.Moreover, electricity is likely to be cut off during snowstorms. If kids don’t have power athome, the money and the time in running the new program would be wasted.9.What can we learn from Paragraph 1? ( )A.Officials suggest students should have more schooldays in June.B.Officials believe snowy days put students behind in their studies.C.Students have to end snowy days earlier than planned.D.Students won’t have sledding classes at school.10.The student reporter, Jordan Dewar, believes that . ( )A.siblings can help each other with their studies on e-daysB.students can learn better on e-days than on makeup daysC.having e-days in winter will save the cost of air conditioningD.students should study online when it snows heavily on weekdays11.What does the word “ditch” in Paragraph 5 probably mean?( )A.Give up.B.Put off.C.Carry out.D.Pay for.12.The writer mentions the statement on the AASA Website to . ( )A.explain the reason to hold the e-day programB.show the difficulty of running the e-day programC.suggest government should spend more money on educationD.stress why some students can’t afford computers for online classesⅢ. 回答问题Theatre began with the ancient Greeks.They used to have shows called “plays”, which tell a story by people acting out what happened in it.They had big theatres which were outside, and you could have up to 17,000 people come and watch it.These outside theatres were round in shape, with stone seats going down to the centre, where they had the “stage”.The Romans also built theatres, and there are several you can visit in England, Greece, Italy and Turkey.Greek used to have a person to explain the story to the people who were watching, and the actors used to wear pictures on their faces, some with happy faces, some sad.There were not any theatres in Europe in the Middle Ages, but groups of actors (or players, as they used to be called) travelled around the country putting on shows and singing songs in the towns and in large private houses.Many large houses from this time have a special area in it where the players would do their shows.In England between 1558 and 1603, the ruler was Queen Elizabeth I.During this time, theatres would be built outside the city walls because some people thought they were not safe places to be and that people caused troubles there.They were usually round, and people would stand up to see the show.Rich people had seats to sit on.People used to eat and drink during the show.They used to shout out to the actors and sometimes throw food at them.In Elizabethan times, a theatre group had 12 men and one writer in it. Women were not allowed to be in the show, so young boys used to wear dresses and play the female roles.Theatre in London today is very popular, even if tickets are very expensive.Many American stars want to perform in London, and in the last few years Kevin Spacey, Nicole Kidman and Kathleen Turner have all acted in plays i n London’s theatres.13.Who began theatre?14.Where did actors put on shows in the Middle Ages in Europe?15.Why were theatres built outside the city walls in Elizabethan times?16.How many people did a theatre group have in Elizabethan times?17.What is the passage mainly about?【参考答案】Ⅰ.[主旨大意] 本文描写了一名转会球员刚到新环境后状态不佳,失去了斗志,在教练的支持与鼓励下最终找回信心与斗志的故事。
