河南省实验中学2020届高三英语下学期二测模拟考试试题含解析

河南省实验中学2020届高三英语下学期二测模拟考试试题（含解析）一、阅读理解：ATraditions of giving middle names vary around the world.ScotlandMiddle names are actually a fairly recent discovery in Scotland. However, as the practice has become popular around the world, it has become pretty common for Scottish babies to have middle names. Because last names in Scotland are generally associated with their family roots, and first names usually describe a physical characteristic, many parents see a middle name as an opportunity to give their baby a slightly more creative name.Spain and Latin AmericaIn Spain and Latin America, a middle name is a way to break free from the cultural code governing first names. In some countries, even first names are legislated(立法) to be of Christian origin. In Chile, most girls are named Maria, after the Virgin Mary, so the middle name is used in practice for differentiation. Maria is the most common name in the Spanish-speaking world, so in all Spanish-speaking countries the middle name takes on great significance.RussiaIn Russia, both boys and girls are given middle names based on their father's first name. For boys, the middle name usually has ovich, or evich, added to its ending. For girls, the middle patronymic(从父名衍生出的名字) name usually has ovna, or evna, added to its ending. People in Russia are often referred to by both their first and middle names, sort of the way parents in America use their children's full names when they're trying to get their attention(or yell at them). Close friends in Russia often don't use their first names completely, and use only patronymic names, when talking to each other.AustraliaAccording to Law Buddy, an Australian legal advice service, child naming lawsin Australia allow Birth Registrars to refuse to register baby names that to be offensive to register to careless, inappropriate, ridiculous. They do allow for children to get a middle name, which is typically reserved for the mother's maiden name(娘家姓),provided, of course, that the mother's maiden name is not offensive, careless, inappropriate, or ridiculous.1. What do we know about giving middle names in Scotland?A. It needs to be based on their family roots.B. It's opposed by the elderly in the countryC. It mainly describes a baby's appearance.D. It didn't become common until not long ago2. What role do middle names in the Spanish-speaking countries play?A. Showing family roots.B. Showing their unique culture.C. Describing a physical characteristic.D. Allowing people to have different names3. What is a typical feature of middle names in Russia?A. They usually have the same ending.B. They're usually very creative names.C. They're usually difficult to remember.D. They're based on their father's middle name.4. What should parents in Australia consider when naming their children?A. Avoiding a middle name.B. Avoiding registering baby names.C. Using the mother's proper maiden name.D. Using an unusual name for differentiation. 【答案】1. D 2. D 3. A 4. C 【解析】这是一篇说明文。

Which of the following offers ice sport?A. Town Recreation.B. Metzler Ranch Park.C Theatre of Dreams. D. Douglas County Fairgrounds.22. What do Town Recreation and Theatre of Dreams have in common?A They have various classes for kids. B. They offer discounts for the members.C. They provide service for special events.D. They are not open to kids unaccompanied.23. Who would most probably be interested in Castle Rock?A. College graduates.B. Retired citizens.C. Newly- married couples.D. Parents with kids.BPeople often ask how I decide where lo go, and I usually get hesitated with my response, as I don' t actually have an answer to that. For more than three years, I have been making movements with the universe, traveling from location to location at seemingly random intervals.A friend of mine posted a Facebook status asking if anybody was interested in a job teaching English in China. So I jumped on a coming plane. Walking into my first class, I was bombed by 16 strange children who couldn't understand a single word out of my mouth. When I walked out of my last class, six months later, I had made a personal connection with them. Some of my students could barely speak Chinese or English. But somehow, through determination and force, we connected.Every class was not only a lesson in English, but in good fellowship, being a role model, being a parent, and being a friend. I became a father to some, an older brother to others. I was loved and adored, feared and hated. I had to learn discipline, and not only how to deal it out, but how to discipline and conduct myself as a role model. But in between the discipline, I had to make learning a fun experience. And they forgave me when I yelled or got upset. And when they threw temper or bruised their knee or missed their mommy, I forgave them, kissed their bruises better, and gave them a shoulder to cry on.Teaching English in China is, by far, the most emotionally rewarding and fulfilling thing I've ever challenged myself to do. I have walked away from this job with a softened heart, knowing that I have made a difference in so many lives. I want that. I want my teachings to be reciprocal because they taught me how to unconditionally open my heart and how lo be a more 1oving and patient person.24. What can we learn about the writer before he came to China?A. He didn't have a fixed job.B. He was a professional writer.C He worked in a travel agency. D. He taught in a language school.25. What was the situation like when the author met his students for the first time?A. Hard.B. Exciting.C. Touching.D. Inspiring.26. What can we infer about the author from Paragraph 3?A. He was casual and patient.B. He was responsible but sensitive.C. He was cautious but bad-tempered.D. He was self-reflective and considerate.27, What does the underlined word “reciproc al” in Paragraph 4 most probably m ean?A. Beneficial.B. Interacted. C Encouraging. D. Acceptable,CAfrican penguins ( Spheniscus demer sus) bear the unfortunate nickname “ jackass penguins” because they communicate through honking, donkey-like sounds. Laugh at them if you like, but a new study suggests that their jackass language act actually follows the same basic rules as ours.In the study published in the journal Biology Letters, researchers recorded nearly 600 vocalizations (发声) from 28 adult male penguins living in Italian zoos. (Males tend to vocalize 8 lot during the mating period, whichis why the researchers turned to this population). The scientists knew from previous research that African penguins bonk using three distinct types of sound, similar to human syllables (音节), when greeting one another, mating，or defending territory. But the researchers wanted to know whether those “s y llables” foll owed two common linguistic (语言学的) rules.One of those rules, called Zipf's law in short, was proposed in 1945 by the linguist George Zipf. The law states that the more frequently a word is used in any language, the shorter it t ends to be (think of words like “the,”“to” and “of” in English). Previous studies have analyzed more than 1. 000 world languages for evide nce of Zipf’s 1aw. and the rule holds up in all of then.The other rule, known as the Menzerath-Altmann law, says that the longer a word or phrase is, the shorter its comtuponen1 syllables are, while shorter words are more likely to have longer syllables. The word “o nom atopoeia,” for exa mple, is made of six very short syllable s, while “couch”is made of one longer one. Previous studies have shown that nonhuman primates (灵长类动物) follow both these rules when they communicate with each other. but what about jackass penguins?The researchers in the new study found that, yes, the songs of the male jackass penguin conform to both Zipf's and Menzerath- Altmann? s laws; The shortest calls tended to be the most common, and the longest phrases were made up of the shortest syllables. This jackass study provided the first nonprimate evidence that these common linguistic pal1erns extend into the animal kingdom, the authors wrote, and that' s nothing to hem and haw at.28. Why did the researchers choose adult male jackass penguins?A. They can vocalize different kinds of sounds.B. They are more accessible than other penguins.C. They communicate with each other through honking.D). They make sounds frequently during the mating period.29. What does the author try to express by mentioning the words “the”,“to” and“o f” in English?A. George Zipf's idea is reasonable.B. These words are extremely simple.C. Previous studies ate very meaningful.D. English is quite similar to other languages.30. Which of the following fully explains what the Menzerath- Altmann law means?A. Egg and food.B. Contradictory and shout.C. Learn and earn.D. Discrimination and prescription.31. What conclusion has the new study made?A. Many languages follow the same linguistic rules.B. How Jackass penguins communicate wi1h each other.C. Jackass penguins obey linguistic rules similar to those of humans.D. ZipF's law and Menzerath Alumann law are commonly applied rules.DMuch of the information that is sent back from space is useless. Pictures taken by satellites orbiting the Earth might take days to download, only to show lots of cloud hiding the area of interest. The subject matter may also be surrounded by irrelevant information.Processing data in space before sending back would reduce unnecessary information, but this can be tricky. Rays in the universe randomly flip the ones and zeroes that computers operate on, introducing unpredictable errors. High levels of radiation can also damage electronic circuits (电子电路). KP Labs, based in Poland, is building a satellite to overcome some of these problems. Their device, called Inuition-1. is controlled by a neural network, a form of artificial intelligence modeled on the human brain.Intuition- l will be equipped with a hyperspectral imager (超光谱成像仪), which takes 150 pictures of every scene it looks at. Each picture is at a different frequency, so contains different information. The neural network pieces these together using powerful graphics chips (芯片) hardened against radiation. The developers have also built error correction into their software. But instead of sending back every bit of image data, the satellite will summarize what the user requests as useful information. This might, for instance, be a heat map showing areas o[ weeds in a field or the location of a forest fire. Reducing the data loud means that. some of the information can be sent live.The satellite will be used to prove that a hardened neural network can survive in space. This could pave the way for other space applications. For example, the Curiosity rover (探测器) on Mars was successfully upgraded in 2016 with a set of algorithms to detect “interesting” rocks for investigation, instead of picking them randomly. A neural network could provide future rovers and deep-space probes with a better ability to make decisions.The neural network and hyperspectral imager have already been built and tested by KP labs. They will go into a satellite body being constructed by Clyde Space. After that there will be more intelligence in space.32. Why docs the author say processing data in the universe can be very tricky?A Rays and radiation disturbs data processing.B. The pictures taken by satellites are not so clear.C. The data to be processed are not accurate enough.D. Processing data in the universe is time-consuming.33. What do we learn about Intuition-l?A. ]t can take pictures much faster.B. It can survive much longer in space.C. It can correct mistakes from users’ request.D. It can improve the stability of data processing.34. What does the underlined phrase “p ave t he way” in Paragraph 4 mean?A. Set an example.B. Remove barriers.C. Reduce the cost.D. Increase the efficiency.35. What's the text mainly about?A. The ways of dealing with data.B. The importance of collecting data.C The upgrade of processing space images.D. The potential influence of Al in the universe. .第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填人空白处的最住选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。

At the Snowdonia Centre, the beginners’ costs of ￡57 do n ot cover ___________.A. foodB. roomsC. body exercisesD. walking shoesBOne morning more than thirty years ago, I entered the Track Kitchen, a restaurant where everyone from the humblest （卑微的）to the most powerful came for breakfast. I noticed an empty c hair next to an elderly, unshaven man, who looked somewhat disheveled. He was wearing a worn-out hat and was alone. I asked if I might join him. He agreed quietly and I sat down to have my breakfast.We cautiously began a conversation and spoke about a wide range of things. We never introduced ourselves. I was concer ned that he might have no money and not be able to afford so mething to eat. So as I rose to go back to the counter and buy a second cup of coffee, I asked,“May I get you something?”“A coffee would be nice.”Then I bought him a cup of coffee. We talked more, and he ac cepted another cup of coffee. Finally, I rose to leave, wished h im well, and headed for the exit. At the door I met one of my fr iends. He asked,“How did you get to know Mr. Galbreath?”“Who?”“The man you were sitting with. He is chairman of the Board of Churchill Downs. ” I could hardly believe it. I was buying, off ering a free breakfast, and feeling pity for one of the world’s ri chest and most powerful men!My few minutes with Mr. Galbreath changed my life. Now I try to treat everyone with respect, no matter who I think they are, and to meet another human being with kindness and sincerity.4. What does the underlined word “disheveled” mean?A. Unfriendly.B. Untidy.C. Gentle.D. Kind.5. The author bought coffee for the old man becauseA. he thought the old man was poorB. he wanted to start a conversationC. he intended to show his politenessD. he would like t o thank the old man6. How did the author probably feel after he talked with his frie nd?A. Proud.B. Pitiful.C. Surprised.D. Regretful.7. What message is mainly expressed in the story?A. We should learn to be generous.B. It is honorable to help those in need.C. People in high positions are not like what we expect.D. We should avoid judging people by their appearances.CRubbish is a major kind of environmental pollution. Each pers on produces about two kilograms of rubbish in our homes a d ay. And this is only a small part of all the rubbish we produce. We also create waste in industry.Have you wondered what happens to the rubbish? Most of it i s buried in landfills (垃圾填埋地) or burned. Less than 25% of our waste is recycled.A landfill is carefully designed and it is built into or on top of th e ground. Rubbish buried in landfills is cut off from the surrou nding environment (groundwater, air, rain, etc).One problem with landfills is that they cover a lot of land spac e. If they are not well-built, there is a high risk of polluting the land and water. Some people also say that landfills remove materials for ever. As a result, the materials that can be reused are wasted.Burning rubbish in factories is another way to cut out waste. B urning reduces 95% of the waste. And if poisonous materials are removed, and burning is completed at controlled temperat ures, it is possible to do so without causing too much pollution . Some factories could even produce electricity from the burni ng process.Not all of the rubbish can be burned, so we have to separate i t before we burn it. However, separation costs a lot of money. Another problem with burning rubbish is that what is left after burning is poisonous. How to safely deal with it is a continuing problem.Before the mid-20th century, landfills were the main way to deal with waste. I n the late 20th century, other ways like recycling have been introduced to help reduce global pollution.Maybe in the near future, with combined efforts, scientists will find a better way to dispose rubbish and cut out waste, like re cycling things. But anyway, mountains of rubbish from life eve ry day is a huge burden for any country.8. What is the advantage of burying rubbish in landfills?A. Producing electricity.B. Reusing the materials buried in landfills.C. Reducing 95% of the waste.D. Cutting off rubbish from the surrounding environment.9. Paragraph 6 is mainly about _________.A. the separation of rubbishB. the problems with burning rubbishC. the safety of burning rubbishD. the cost of burn ing rubbish10. It can be inferred from the passage that _________.A. rubbish should be separated when it is burningB. landfills are too dangerous to be built too manyC. there’re advantages and disadvantages about burning rubb ishD. developed countries are better at dealing with rubbish11. After the last paragraph, what is the author likely to talk ab out next?A. Pollution.B. Landfills.C. Recycling.D. Environment.DIt cannot be denied that we all want to succeed, whether it is i n losing weight or learning the guitar. For those who have trie d and failed, success seems difficult to understand. Why does one person succeed where another person fails? I have mad e a list of four habits to help set goals and achieve them. Identify your core valuesFinding your core values is in line with creating inner motivatio n. Sit and reflect on what you value most. Pick a handful of thi ngs and actually write them down. Remind yourself of your val ues every day, and reflect on whether you are honoring those values through your work.Pick a goal and focus on itChoose one goal to start something large enough that will giv e you a sense of accomplishment, while adjusting well to your core values. Focus is key here. The more focused you are on one goal, the higher chance you have of success.If you perform a great many tasks at a time, you might never complete your projects because they will take far too long.Set a deadline for successTo set a date or deadline for success is meaningful and neces sary. Identify when you hope to achieve your goal. Keep it rea listic, while not giving you too much time. By setting a time lim it, you are making the process more real and planned.Stick to your goal.Failure can’t be avoided to some extent when you take risks, by its very definition, the desire to succeed means you are ris king failure. Many people tend to give up far too early. Don’t f all into this trap! Remember your mindset （心态） earlier. Know it will happen. A failure is merely you worki ng out the details, and learning what works and what doesn’t. Use failure. Treat it as a good thing, and march on!In your lifetime, you have many opportunities to succeed. Whil e in the process you may encounter （遭遇） plenty of failures, but on condition that you stick to the fo ur habits above, you will be absolutely successful sooner or la ter.12. You would have a better chance to succeed if you ______ ___.A. reflect on your goal moreB. are more concentrated on a goalC. are more eager to succeedD. try your best to avoid f ailure13. Which of the following statements is NOT true?A. People are all eager to succeed in life.B. Realizing core values can make inner motivation.C. You are bound to succeed if you follow the four habits.D. failure is sometimes not a bad thing.14. What does the underlined word “it” in the passage refer to ?A. detail.B. Failure.C. Goal.D. Success.15. The best title for the passage could be _________.A. Four Habits to Help You SucceedB. Make the right decisionC. Failure is the mother of successD. Find the core val ues of success第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

AFor children living in Germany the first day of kindergarten is filled with sweets and surprises! It is a day of celebration for the whole family. Like American children, German children start the first day dressed in their best clothes. After that, their day is very different.In Germany parents go to the school with their children on the first day. That way the child is not alone. The parents stay at the school the whole day.When they arrive each child receives a zuckertute. A zuckertute is a cone-shaped goodie package filled with toys and sweets. The top is covered with flowers. It is usually large and sometimes stands as tall as the child! The zuckertute is brought to school by the parents before the school day begins. It is tradition for children to have their picture taken holding their zuckertute. Class pictures are also taken on the first day of school. The first day is spent exploring the classroom and getting to know one another.When the day is over, children and parents go home for a family party. The party usually takes place at home, but sometimes it is held at a restaurant. Brothers, sisters, grandparents, cousins, aunts and uncles are invited to the party. In small towns neighbors even come to congratulate the child. Everyone brings gifts for the guest of honor.This is how it was 60 years ago when my mother was a young girl in Germany, and these traditions are still observed today. It is a sweet celebration for everyone, especially for the children!21. What do Germany parents do on their children’s first day of school?A. They celebrate the day with their children.B.

When she was thirteen, she was surfing the Internet regularly, but she couldn’t find anywhere for teenagers to meet and talk. And one day she thought, “If I had my own website, I’d make it a really interesting site for teenagers.”So, when Ashley was sixteen, she launched her own website, called GooseHead. She had no idea how big a success it would be, but three years later, the site was the most successful teen site in the USA! It was getting 100,000 hits every day, and Ashley had about 30 employees.After a few years, the website closed down. Then Ashley, who lives in Los Angeles, was asked to write a book called The GooseHead Guide to Life. The book is about how to design a website and start a business. It begins with a section called “All About Ashley,” where Ashley tells readers what it is like to be the boss of a company when you are only sixteen. “I was so happy. But it was crazy in a lot of ways. I got very stressed. I mean, I was only sixteen—I didn’t even have a car! If you were sixteen and you had your own company, you’d be stressed, too!”In an interview Ashley gave advice to teenagers who wanted to start their own business, “Just be strong and have your dreams and work hard at them. And don’t listen when hear ‘no’, because I heard ‘no’ a lot. Just keep going until you hear ‘yes’!”25. For what purpose did Ashley create GooseHead?A. She wanted to create an interesting site for teenagers.B. She wanted to surf the Internet regularly.C. She wanted to launch a company.D. She hoped to earn much money.26. What is the main idea of Paragraph 2?A. Ashley had no idea how to run a company.B. Ashley’s website was a big success.C. Why Ashley had so many employees.D. How Ashley designed her website.27. What can we know about Ashley?A. She closed down her website because she was tired.B. She doesn’t follow the advice of other people.C. She regretted having started her business.D. She is strong and always has her dream.CFor a lot of people, winning the lottery is the American dream. But for many lottery winners, the reality can turn out to be more like a nightmare. William Post won $16.2 million in the Pennsylvania lottery in 1988 but now lives simply on his Social Security.“I wish it’d never happened. It was a total nightmare”, explains Post. Both friends and family went as far as going to court to try and get their hands on his money. His brother Jeffery was arrested and imprisoned in Florida for hiring a hit man to kill him, hoping to inherit a share of the winnings. And as if that wasn’t bad enough, his other siblings bothered him until he eventually agreed to invest in their businesses. These ventures brought no money back, and resulted in further tension on his relationship with his brothers and sisters.Post says after his win he went wild. He bought expensive cars and all sorts of electronic gadgetry. On bad advice, he also borrowed money in advance of actually receiving his lottery win. Within a year of winning his fortune, he was $1million in debt.Post even spent time in jail for firing a gun over the head of a bill collector. Post admitted he was both careless and foolish, and tried too hard to please his family. He eventually declared bankruptcy.Now he lives quietly on a $450 a month disability pension and food stamps. He spends much of his day watching classic movies on television. But Post isn’t complaining. He’s content. “I’ve got peace of mind and you never realize how valuable that is until you lose it,” he says. “Lotteries don’t mean anything to me.”28. Why was Post’s winning the lottery a nightmare ?A. His former girlfriend accused him for the money.B. His family got their hands on the money.C. His investment bought no money back.D. Winning the lottery ruined his life.29. Why was Post sent into prison?A. He got his money back by violence.B. He threatened a bill collector with a gun.C. He failed to pay off his debt on time.D. He tried to hurt his family members.30. We can infer from the last paragraph that _______.A. Post isn’t content with his present lifeB. Post’s nightmare has come to an endC. Post gets on well with his familyD. Post is addicted to watching movies31. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?A. Evil MoneyB. Money Means EverythingC. A Shameful FamilyD. Riches to RagsDAre you a messy eater, who always ends up with bits of food or stains splattered on their clothing? Then perhaps a new pocket washing machine - believed to be the world’s smallest - is the answer to your problems.The newly designed Coton handy washer, produced by Chinese electronics firm Haier, is the same-size as an electric shaver and can remove anything from dirt to those dreaded red wine stains,according to People’s Daily Online.It is powered by three AAA batteries and aims to prevent those frustratingly long waits in the dry cleaners by targeting troublesome stains such as coffee, grass or oil.The device, created by AQUA (a subsidiary of Haier Group in China), is already flying off the shelves in Japan where it costs 10,800 Yen or £60.The portable gadget - which weighs just 200g - uses a method called ‘squeeze washing’ which removes stains in 30 seconds. It works by first applying liquid detergent on a piece of kitchen paper, before washing over it with the nozzle of the Coton device. It then pumps a small amount of water over the stain at 700 beats a minute.Although this pocket-sized device is thought to be the smallest washing machine created, it is not the first invention aimed at cleaning clothes on the go. In 2013, Australian Ash Newland created the ‘Scrubba’, a small bag that can wash laundry in just five minutes.32. What is Coton handy washer?A. A small washing machine.B. A small bag that can wash laundry.C. A newly designed electric shaver.D. A messy eater.33. What makes Coton handy washer very special?A. It is small in size.B. It can clean clothes.C.

How the Coton handy washer works.D. Where people use the Coton handy washer.35. What can we know about the Coton handy washer?A. It is invented in Japan.B. It works faster than the ‘Scrubba’.C. It is useful for messy eaters.D. It uses a lot of water.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word; for the other blanks, use one word that best fits each blank.A ban on distracted walkingYou can’t walk down the street without passing so-called “smartphone zombies (僵尸).” They are too absorbed in their screen (21) _________ (watch) where they are going. Almost four in ten people admit having suffered a technology-related small accident (22) _________ they pay more attention to their electronic device than to the pavement.Now the city of Honolulu, Hawaii, has decided it’s time to take immediate action and make itillegal to cross the road while using a mobile phone. Those (23) ________ (catch) using phones, tablets or other electronic devices at crossing points could face a fine of up to $100.Honolulu is the first major U.S. city to ban (24) __________ is called “distracted walking.” It comes after a study found there (25)___________(be) more than 11,000 injuries in the United States resulting from phone-related distraction while walking in the past few years.To explain the decision, mayor Kirk Caldwell said, “We hold the unfortunate honor of being a major city (26) ___________more pedestrians are hit in crosswalks than almost any other city in the country.”Under the fine systems, (27) _________ breaks this law for the first time will get a fine of $15 to $35.

Or you could just wait (30) __________ you are again, safely, off the street.Section BDirections:Fill in each blank with a proper word chosen from the box. Each word can be used only once. Note that there is one word more than you need.Giving kids allowances in the smartphone ageAllowances are a constant. No matter how much technology interferes with the parent-childrelationship, kids still want money and parents still want to impart(赋予) a basic work ethic. Butputting stickers on chore (日常事务) charts and dropping coins in piggy ban ks don’t cut it with the smartphonegeneration.Parents in search of more 31 ways to teach children the value of money are turning toallowance-tracking apps, where kids can see their 32 rise and fall in real time.Bonnie Koon, a mother of three in Crawfordville, Fla., used to post a calendar on her refrigerator33 her kids chores, to the embarrassment of her 16-year-old twins. After seeing a Facebookad for the app Greenlight, she 34 it.Greenlight links to parents’ bank accounts so that the payout can be seamless. Parents canencourage saving by paying interest on the money that isn’t spent35 —interest out of theparents’ own pockets, of course.It’s the first taste of 36 freedom for many kids, and it’s set in a relatively safeenvironment. Parents can determine spending limits and choose the retailers（零售商）where a child can make 37. If a child attempts to buy something at an unapproved store or to spend more than thelimit,the transaction (交易) is38 and parents get anotification. And if a kid loses the card, parentscan immediately cancel it from the app.One of Ms. Koon’s twins, Brenna, works part time at a restaurant. She’s putting half of her paycheck into a car-insurance savings fund she set up in the app, with the goal of saving $450 by July. With each 39, the app gives Brenna aprogress update.Some parents might worry that relying on apps to get kids to do chores only encourages them to be on their phones more. But parents who have chosen this approach argue that they are meeting their kids where they are and that it takes the 40nagging(唠叨) out of the equation. The real-timelook at their accounts makesthe concepts of saving and spending more tangiblethanreviewing a bank statement.III. Reading ComprehensionSection ADirections: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.If you like to take a walk in the woods in the United States or you prefer to decorate a tree atChristmas, you should know that climate change is making both of those activities a lot more41.Looking at two 42 and economically important species——the Douglas fir and the Ponderosa pine ——scientists found that fires and drought 43 by climate change make new growth difficult, especially in low-elevation forests, according to a study published Monday in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.Some forests in four regions in California, Colorado, the Northern Rockies and the southwestern part of the United States have crossed “a(n) 44 climate tipping(转折) point for post-fire tree generation,” the study says.Climate conditions over the past 20 years have 45 changes that would have taken decades or even centuries to 46 across broad regions of the country. This is leading to the sudden47 of trees and making these lands increasingly unsuitable for tree regeneration.“Climate change is 48 our forests now, not just in some distant future. Maybe in areas where there are really 49 seed sources, there could be some trees, but it is becoming really hard to get these trees back due to climate change,”said study co-author Kim Davis.The problem probably won’t get any better, as climate change is making intense wildfires much more 50. Western foresters say there used to be a fire season. But devastating and 51 fires have become a reality all year long. In 2018, fire cost California more than $9.05 billion, according to the USA insurance commissioner, the deadliest and most destructive wildfire season in the 52 history.A higher number of fires and low seed availability means a high probability that these trees in these regio ns won’t come back, Davis said. This study 53 on the driest and hottest areas of the Western forests, but researchers will next try to focus on how much will be impacted.54, there are some things people can do to ease some of this problem. Forest management plans that reduce high-severity burns can help. Increasingly, forest managers are considering allowing some fires to burn under more moderate conditions, Davis said. Forest 55can also replant trees after fire, at least in the areas where climate conditions will allow.41. A. convenient B. difficult C. encouraging D. frustrating42. A. ecologically B. apparently C. physically D. financially43. A. destroyed B. worsened C. extended D. established44. A. necessary B. enormous C. critical D. invisible45. A. accelerated B. delayed C. eliminated D. strengthened46. A. transform B. spread C. preserve D. escape47. A. extinction B. decline C. tragedy D. increase48. A. sustaining B. abandoning C. facilitating D. endangering49. A. sufficient B. limited C. moderate D. approximate50. A. occasional B. common C. essential D. temporary51.

What’s more55. A. savers B. managers C. researchers D. advocatesSection BDirections:Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose theone that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)EU members’ states have agreed to ban a toxic substance widely found in clothing because it poses an “acceptable risk”to the environment. Countries voted in favor of extending existing restrictions on nonylphenol ethoxylates (NPE) to imports of clothing and other textile products.The measure is intended to protect species in water. Use of NPE in textile manufacture in Europe was banned over 10 years ago but the substance is still released into the water environment through imported textiles being washed.NPE degrades in the environment into substances including nonylphenol (NP), which accumulates in the bodies of fish and disturbs their hormones, harming fertility, growth and sexual development.NPE is used in textile manufacture as a cleaning and dyeing agent. The EU decision notes that several studies have found NPE to be present in textile items.A 2011 study by Greenpeace found NPE in two-thirds of clothes tested, including items sold by big-name brands such as Adidas, H&M, Lacoste, and Ralph Lauren. The NGO (Non-Governmental Organizations) argued that although concentrations of NPE found in the clothes were low, the chemical’s existence in the environment posed a risk.The new ban on textiles containing NPE in concentrations equal to or greater than 0.01% will enter into force five years after it is adopted by the European Commission, which is likely to happen in September.In comments submitted to ECHA (European Chemicals Agency), clothing and textile firms have warned that obeying the restriction will be difficult because NPE is ubiquitous in the supply chain and has numerous uses.The new restriction will not apply to second-hand goods or recycled textiles because it is assumed that these will already have been washed several times so they contain negligible (微不足道的) amounts of NPE.EU countries must eliminate pollution of water bodies by NP as it is a priority substance under the Water Framework Directive. A 2013 study by the UK environment agency warned that emissions from textiles could prevent progress towards this objective. It found 29% of imported cotton underwear contained NPE, which was released during the first two washes by the consumer.56.The 2011 study by Greenpeace found ____________________.A.29% of imported cotton underwear contained NPEB. NPE had limited effects on aquatic speciesC. NPE was widely present in textile productsD. clothes of good quality had no concentrations of NPE57. What’s the possible meaning of the underlined part“is ubiquitous” in Paragraph 7?A. is legally protectedB. is not easy to be foundC. seems to be everywhereD. is uncommon58. What can we learn from the text?A. The original ban on use of NPE was very effective.B. Recycled textiles contain less NPE.C. The new ban on imports of textiles has come into force.D. The UK environment agency is optimistic about the new ban.59. Which section of the website does the text come from?A. Lifestyle.B. Technology.C. Business.D. Environment.(B)LettersComments on the March Issue60. How did Antia Lawrence react to her husband ’s diagnosis?A. She felt very painful.B.

One time,we got a delivery of off-band vegetables. Ipriced them at ten cents a can. I don ’t think wesold more than six cans —until I put up a signthat said “Special: Nine for $1.” I set them outThursday evening, and by noon on Saturdaythey were gone.Edward Deckerd ,Perryville, MissouriTrapped Inside a Glacier Reading about John All ’s experience on Mount Himlung was very inspiring to me. A man with 15 broken bones and bleeding internally being able to climb up a 70-foot wall of ice and survive for 18 hours at 20,000 feet is something that I would have thought to be impossible. I am 16 years old and a lifelong reader. Out of all the great content in Reader ’s Digest , stories like his are the ones I enjoy the most. Sam Kieffer, Richardson, Texas Bill ’s Last, Best GiftTracy Grant ’s article resonated (与......产生共鸣) deeply with me. Twelve years ago, myhusband, Don, was diagnosed with terminalbrain cancer. As his caregiver, I, too, learned toappreciate the people and things around me andnot to sweat the small stuff, and in the long run,I became a much better person. Don also gaveme his last, best gift of love and peace.Antia Lawrence,San Diego, CaliforniaDishes Professional Chefs Cook in the Microwave Microwaving live lobsters is inhumane and cruel. Because lobsters feel pain, Switzerland has recently outlawed the practice of boiling them live. A similar law was passed in Italy, where it is now illegal to put lobsters on ice before cooking them.

Antia Lawrence.C. Sam Kieffer.D. Janet Toole(C)What makes us love some things and hate others? We know that sometimes even the tiniest change can result in a huge difference in how we perceive something, so is there any rhyme or reason to our tastes and preferences? Here are three factors which play a role.1.Conformingto expectationsIn London a few years ago, two talented rappers called Silibil N’ Brains took to the stage to perform at a music industry show for unsigned bands. They were an instant hit. Their outrageous West Coast-American style, brilliant rap lyrics and couldn’t-care-less attitude had the music industry’s talent spotters falling overthemselves to sign the pair. In a short space of time, Silibil N’Brains had a deal with a top management company, a contract with a major record label and an advance of $70, 000—and they hadn’t even made a record. Before long, they were on tour withEminem and out partying with Madonna. They were living the dream.But two years ago the same two rappers were laughed off stage by the sametalent spotters for singing the same songs. So what was the difference? Amazingly, it was their accent. You see, Silibil N’Brains weren’t, in fact, from West Coast U.S.A. at all. They were from Dundee in Scotland. During the first audition they hadused their Scottish accents when rapping and it hadn’t gone down well. “They just laughed at us,” recalled Brains. “We were heartbroken. We went back to Scotlan d with our tail between our legs.”The lesson for them was that to succeed, youhave to conform to expectations and at that time everyone expected rappers to be American.2.The benefit of hindsightSome people are simply ahead of their time. It’s common knowledge that Vincent van Gogh sold only one painting in his lifetime—the other 900 or so were unknown and unloved until after his death. Monet’s paintings, at least in his early career, was considered incomplete and ugly by critics at the time, while Vermeer, the painter of Girl With a Pearl Earring, even had to use his mother-in-law as a guarantor when he borrowed money—so unable was he to sell any of his work! Now that public taste has caught up with these artists, more or less anything theytouched has an astronomical price tag attached to it. Perhaps the reason is that itjust takes a while to get used tosomething—after all, not all beauty is obvious atfirst sight.3.A reassuring price tagIn a world where the range of products on offer can be completely bewildering, we often look to price as an indication of quality. We may think we prefer the expensive wine to the cheap one, but we may simply be influenced by the price tag. Even professionals can make the mistake. A researcher from the University of Bordeaux in France took an average bottle of red wine and poured it into two emptybottles, one with an expensive label and the other with a cheap one. Then he invited 57 wine“experts”to t aste the wine. Forty of them recommended the wine from the expensive bottle, describing it as“agreeable”,“complex”, “balanced”and “rounded,”while the same wine from the cheap bottle was described as“weak”and“flat”, withonly 12 of the experts recommending it. The study made the researcher unpopularwith the French wine tasters, but he did prove that price has a significant impact on taste.63. Which of the following statements about Silibil N’ Brains is true?A. Talent spotters fell in love with them at first sight.B. They are from the West Coast of America.C. Their success was attributed to behaving and sounding like American rappers.D. They were friends with famous stars like Madonna even before they succeeded.64. The underlined phrase “with our tail between our legs”indicates that __________________.A. their first audition proved a failureB. they felt proud of their performanceC. they learned a valuable lessonD. being humble might contribute to their future success65. We can infer from the second factor that __________________________.A. some artists are better known when they are alive than when they are deadB. public taste usually falls behind famous artistsC. beauty at first sight lasts much longerD. Monet’s paintings are priceless be cause of their incompleteness66. What can we learn from the last paragraph?A.A price tag always fails to indicate the quality of a product.B. A price tag is less likely to confuse customers than the packaging.C. Low price will make the wine unpopular with tasters.D. A price tag will cloud a person’s judgement of something.Section CDirections: Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box.Mountains.B. Scientists think the research shows that pandas are very clever.C. Pandas eat bamboo all day long except when they are sleeping or playing.D. The gene for their “umami taste receptors”became inactive.E. They fed on them until they went back down the mountain and started eating Bashaniafargesii leaves again.F. Scientists have conducted many studies on pandas’eating habits.Are Bamboo-Eating Pandas Really Herbivores?On the outside, giant pandas look like herbivores(食草动物). They spend nearly all of their waking hours eating bamboo.But on the inside, they’re built like carnivores(食肉动物). Abouthalf of the calories they eat come from protein, according to anew study.The ancestor of giant pandas were omnivorous(杂食的). They ate both animals and plants, and had the digestive system and gut bacteria to metabolize(使发生新陈代谢) them. They had “umami taste receptors,” to appreciate the flavors of meat.However, about 2.4 million years ago, things began to change. 67 Their jaw and teeth evolved to help them crush bamboo, and their wrist bone became capable of grasping the stalks(秆) of their favorite plant. Scientists think pandas switched to eating bamboopartly because they didn’t have to fight with other animals to get it. Bamboo is high in fiber but has a low concentration of nutrients, so pandas have to eat 20 to 40 pounds of the plant every day just to get by.David Raubenheimer, a nutritional ecologist at the University of Sydney, and his colleagues put GPS trackers on two giant pandas and followed their movements throughout the year. They discovered that the pandas followed the protein. 68 At the start of the cycle, they ate Bashaniafargesii leaves until they got the chance to feast on young shoots, which contained more protein.The more the shoots grew, the more their protein was diluted (冲淡) by fiber. That caused the pandas to move to higher ground, where Fargesiaqinlingensis grew. First, they ate the shoots, but these, too, went from being protein-rich to fiber-rich as they grew. The pandas responded by switching to the leaves. 69 The researchers found that about half of the calories the pandas ate were in the form of protein.70 “They can know exactly where to go, and when to go, so they can get the most of the nutrients that their ecosystem can provide,”said Silvia Pineda-Munoz, who was not involved in the study.The work also shows that classifying an animal as herbivore or carnivore is more complex than one might assume. “It’s not whether you’re eating plants but what part of the plants you’re eating,” said Pineda-Munoz.IV. Summary WritingDirections:Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.71. Herbal MedicineHerbal medicine, which has been used for medicinal purposes, is the use of plants to treat diseases. Many herbalists use the entire plant, from the flowers, stems, leaves, and roots, in the form of everything from teas to pills. These plants contain natural, chemical things that can treat the body for a variety of diseases，such as allergies, asthma, rheumatoid arthritis, migraine, chronic fatigue, and cancer, among others.Nowadays an increasing number of people prefer to adopt these plants to treat their diseases because, compared with chemical medicine, herbal medicine has its own advantages. Herbal medicine and remedies are more effective than chemical medicine for certain diseases. The chemical medicine given by a chemist could have certain negative side effects. However, many of the herbal medicine and remedies do not have negative side effects. If any, they are softer than chemical medicine. Obesity is the cause of many of the health problems. Herbal medicine can help weightloss more effectively and improve overall health.However, the cure using herbal medicine and supplements would take some time, and therefore people are supposed to possess enough patience. Worse still, herbal medicine contains a variety of ingredients and people have to be sure that their body agrees with the ingredients and that it is not allergic (过敏).A point worth mentioning here is thatherbal remedies and medicine for certain illnesses may have negative side effects. These side effects may not be shown at once, but would take months or even years. In the early stages, if the herbal medicine is not agreeing with you, it is wise to stop using it.When used correctly and directed by doctors, herbs can help treat a variety of diseases. But keep in mind that the herbal medicine industry is not regulated, so herbal products are often misleading and may contain additivesthat are not listed on the label. Some herbs may cause allergic reactions or interact with other drugs, and some are poisonous if used improperly or at high doses. Taking herbs on your own increases your risk.V. TranslationDirections: Translate the following sentences into English, using the words given in the brackets.72.一闻到这种蛋糕的味道我就总会想起童年。

He is best known for the generosity he shows to his faithful and hard-working employees. The businessman firmly believes that his company can boom only if he keeps his employees happy, and to that end, he has offered the best of them some pretty unbelievable presents.Cakan first surprised his workers back in 2012, when he offered four of them brand new cars — 2 VW Golf 6 and 2 VW polo — complete with paid insurance. They were some of the oldest and most hard-working employees of Cakan Sports, and since the company had recently moved its operations outside the city, Cakan thought his best people shouldn't have to struggle to get to work. "When we saw them, we were speechless," Danijela, one of the receivers, remembers. "While the boss was saying ‘his is a gift for you’, all I could think of was‘this is not real, this can't be happening to us’.” But this was just one of the generous ways Cakan has rewarded his employees over the years. In 2014, after hearing that one of his workers had been saving up his paychecks so he could buy a ticket to the world Cup soccer final, in Brazil, he took him there himself, at his own expense.Asked why he doesn't use cheaper means of motivating his employees, like a small raise or a cash bonus, Cakan had this to say, "Money comes and goes, but memoriesare forever." Asked why many of his employees call him "Brother", Cakan told a reporter that it was because "brothers always help each other".25. What is Cakan best noted for?A. His frequent headline news for years.B. His great success in his business.C. His extreme generosity to his employees.D. His largest sporting goods store chain.26. Why did Cakan offer his four best workers new cars?A. To make them travel to work easily.B. To reward their creative ideas in work.C. To encourage them to get to work earlier.D. To help them reduce traffic expenses.27. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A. A Smart Businessman.B. A Considerate Employer.C. Hardworking Employees.D. Unbelievable Presents.COn Friday, Germany' s telecom regulator(电信业管理者), the Federal Network Agency, announced that a number of children s smartwatches, designed for ages 5 to 12, can allow someone to remotely tap into the watch s microphone and secretly spy from remote places. The regulator isn’t just worried about the potential of people spying on children-it's worried the devices(设备) can be used to spy on anyone.And in Germany, it's illegal to record private conversations without permission. "According to our investigations, parents were using the watches, for example, to listen in on their children during class, said Federal Network Agency President Jochen Homann in a statement.Smartwatches that make phone calls, like the Apple Watch, are legal in Germany. The problem with many of the children's smartwatches, however, is that the devices have a classic spying function, similar to a baby monitor, which can be easilyactivated (激活) just by using an app.The German regulator is so serious about destroying these devices. it's asking citizens to document the watches' destruction and file evidence online. Once the watches are destroyed, the regulator will provide a "certificate of destruction, " confirming the deed was done.This isn't the first time the Federal Network Agency told German citizens to destroy a consumer device. The regulator once prohibited the doll "My Friend Cayla", which was fitted with radio transforming technology that could allow children to be spied on.Remind tech producers: The German government won't just ban devices that can spy on anyone, they'll demand the devices be destroyed with hammers (or whatever means of destruction one prefers) — even if they're dolls.28. Why is the Federal Network Agency concerned about children’s smartwatches?A. They are too expensive to afford.B. They can't be used in remote places.C. They are harmful to children 's health.D. They can be used to watch anyone in secret.29. How can a smartwatch spying function be performed?A. By using an app.B. By using a baby monitor.C. By fixing a device.D. By downloading software.30. What will citizens get after destroying the watches?A. A document.B. A doll.C. A certificate.D. A prize.31. What can we infer about the German govern ment’s attitude to children’s smartwatches?A. Doubtful.B. Supportive.C. Acceptable.D. Unbearable.DThe year 3700, Earth is far too hot for any human to call it home. On this planet at least, man is nothing more than a memory--if there is anything left to remember the "wise man". But what about our wisdom--will any of it survive us?The conventional answer is no. Knowledge requires a knower, and there will be no knowing minds around then. But if information survives, perhaps in books or hard drives, maybe the knowledge isn't quite dead but dormant(休眠), ready to become alive with the help of other minds that develop over time or come to visit Earth in the distant future.At first sight, that seems to be reasonable: after all, we have done similar things with past knowledge. For example, we saved an ancient computer from a ship destroyed at sea off the southern coast of Greece, and succeeded in finding the meaning of Egyptian hieroglyphics(象形文字). Careful work can bring previously lost wisdom back to life.However, the key point is that there is a certain cultural continuity with those ancient times that allows us to reason and make progress in the dark: we know we are dealing with the legacy(遗产)of other humans. Without that link, the survival of objects and raw data doesn't guarantee the survival of knowledge. And a lack of continuity in language with any future intelligence would be a barrier. Knowledge is closely connected with language. When a language dies out, we can lose systems of reasoning that they contain. If that's lost, then it can't be recovered.All this means that other minds might not be able to fully make human knowledge alive when we are gone. It is better to concentrate on not dying out in the first place.32. How many opinions are mentioned in Para.2?A. One.B. Two.C. Three.D. Four.3. What does the underlined phrase "similar things" in Para. 3 probably refer to?A. Making lost wisdom alive again.B. Rescuing disappearing knowledge.C. Preserving future knowledge.D. Gaining new knowledge.34. How can we make knowledge survive?A. We know a lot about human beings.B. We learn ways to draw conclusions.C. We have a certain cultural continuity.D. We protect the legacy of other humans.35. What's mainly talked about in the text?A. Can human beings live on?B. Will our knowledge survive us?C. What will the earth be like in the future?D. How can we protect our culture?第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
