AIn 2018 to which we've just said goodbye, we've seen excellent movies such as Black Panther, Crazy Rich Asians and A Star Is Born. In 2019 there will be returns to classic movie characters and stories. Here are movies not to miss.Spider-Man-.Far H0- July 5, USTom Holland, the actor of 2017's Spider-Man: Homecoming, returns to play Peter Parker, a high school student who gains superpowers after being bitten by a spider(蜘蛛).

According to Marved Studios President Kevin Feige, Spider - Man will try a return to his “normal" self; he will try to find his old powers on his new journey.Hobbs and Shaw, July 26,USTo most people the Fast and Furious series is all about crazy drivers racing in sports car.

The story of wide - eyed young lion Simba still remains in hearts of world audiences even after 25 years. In this re-telling, Simba again begins the difficult journey to become the King of the Pride Lands，a vast African prairie(大草原).The favorite part of the story for many has always been the friendship between Simba, Timon and Punibaa. The last two sacrifice all they have to help Simba to become the king. How will the new movie re-imagine their famous relationship?1. Which movie will probably be most popular among children?A.

In 2012, he and his family were inspired to build and donate a bunk bed, one bed on top of the other, after learning there were local children who slept on the floor. Shocked to discover how widespread this need was in his community, Mickelson founded Sleep in Heavenly Peace, a nonprofit that builds and delivers beds to children in need.Born and raised in Idaho, Mickelson, now 41, had a thriving career. He coached his kids’ sports teams and fished in the nearby river. But when he met children who were sleeping on the floor, his peaceful life changed course.Using safety guidelines and his daughter’s bunk bed as a model, Mickelson started buying wood and supplies to build beds with his own money. He recruited friends and family members to help around the holiday. As word spread, interest and involvement from his and other communities flooded—along with Mickelson’s bunk bed output. “That first project, we built 11 bunk beds in my garage,” he said. “The next year, we did 15. Then it doubled every year. In 2017, we built 612 bunk beds.”With the motto “No kid sleeps on the floor in our town”, the nonprofit and its more than 65 branches have built and delivered more than 1,500 free beds to children across America. But along with the rapid growth, Mickelson was faced with a tough choice: advancing his career or his nonprofit. He chose the latter and went from making “great money to zero money”. He’s never looked back. “I found that the need I have isn’t financial,” he said. “The need I have is seeing the joy on kids’ faces, knowing that I can make a difference.”4. Why did Mickelson set up Sleep in Heavenly Peace?A. To help the poor children.B. To make a big fortune.C. To inspire his community.D. To get more donations.5. What do we know about Luke Mickelson?A. He had his own fish farm.B. He changed his career from time to time.C. He used to sleep on the floor when he was a kid.D. He originally had a relaxing and pleasant life.6. How did other peop le react to Mickelson’s project?A. They showed little interest in it.B. They were supportive and involved in it.C. They were doubtful about the safety of the bunk bed.D. They volunteered to buy beds with their own money.7. What is Mickelson’s attitude to the nonprofit?A. AmbiguousB. Defensive.C. Cautious.D. Positive.CLearning how to face silence in conversation is an important skill especially when working across cultures.In international negotiations, experienced negotiator (谈判者) stay silent and impassive on purpose because that will make others feel uncomfortable and possibly make compromises without having to do anything. Americans especially can’t stand silence, so they often are the first to break the silence and sometimes might be at a disadvantage in negotiations.So what’s the best response? Set your jaw and wait it out. Don’t offer a compromise just because theyare not speaking. If you have to say something, ask a direct question, such as “What’s your initial reaction to that offer?” Once a silence is getting into 45 seconds you could say, “Let’s come back to that in a minute and go on with the next part of our negotiation.”In presentations, silence can be far more effective than dramatic passion (热情). Before starting, look at the audie nce and be silent for a moment because that says, “I’m in control. I know what I’m doing. I’m confident.”A classic example was when Apple co-founder Steve Jobs launched the first iPhone. He introduced with many pauses so that you didn’t miss his key point s. Because silence makes us nervous, our natural reaction is that we’d better pay attention, there’s something going on here.Equally, when giving a speech to staff or trainees, pauses count-especially if there are negatives. If you keep talking you’re spoon feeding. Give people a moment of silence to get beyond the emotional response and to start thinking consciously and processing.Silence can be an inward-focused thoughtful activity or an outward stillness where you give yourself the time to watch and think and listen to the world around you. Having observed the use of silence in Finland and also among the Blackfeet Nation, a North American Indian tribe in northern Montana in the US, we can see benefits far beyond wheeling and dealing.Silence can be a very powerful point for understanding ourselves, understanding others, for developing better common understanding and more productive outcomes and that applies to business, politics, education, law, medicine, every area of human life.8. What is most likely to be Americans idea?A. Speaking less gives the upper handB. The shorter talking gaps are, the better.C. A silent man is the best one to listen toD. Speak out what you have in your mind.9. What is the purpose of the example of Steve Jobs?A. To show the wisdom of Steve Jobs.B. To explain silence can be more effective.C. To introduce how to make a presentation.D. To prove silence can ease one’s nervousness.10. What is the meaning of the underlined words “spoon feeding” in Paragraph 6?A. Supporting some person with any selfless help.B. Feeding somebody patiently with a small spoon.C. Giving others some new ideas to think over carefully.D. Using a way that discourages independent thought.11. What is the main idea of the passage?A. Silence is the best defense.B. Silence in negotiations is of great help.C. Learning the skills about silence is important.D. Silence has different meanings in difficult culture.DBritish people work some of the longest hours in Europe, but are among the least productive. Now some companies are shortening the working week to increase efficiency, health and happiness.Rich Leigh has introduced a four-day week at his PR company. In fact, his entire company has Friday off, because his firm has adopted a four-day week. It is one of a handful of UK businesses that now operate like this: staff still get paid their previous five-day salary, but they work a day less. The company found that they achieved just as much—and there were even sighs of growth. “The key to the scheme’s success,” Leigh says, “is how happy our employees now are.”The average British worker takes only a 34 minute lunch break and works 10 hours overtime each week (more often than not this is unpaid). Yet UK productivity falls seriously behind their European neighbors, who tend to work fewer hours.British working practices have caused loss and damage to the nation’s health and happiness. More than half a million workers in the UK were signed off with work-related stress or anxiety last year. Moreover, the work landscape itself is changing. Automation and AI will have a significant impact on the labor market, where unsteady work becomes more common.Britain is the only EU member that allows workers to ignore the EU working time limit and work longer ho urs. For campaigners, now is the time for a change. O’Grady, an advocate, argues that where businesses have increased their profits as a result of automation, success should be shared with workers in the form of reduced hours. “It’s time to share the benef its from new technology, not allowing those at the top to grab them for themselves.” she says.12. We can learn from the passage that ________.A. British people are the least productive in the worldB. Most companies in Britain have conducted a four-day weekC. PR company has witnessed a rise in employees’ happinessD. British people work longer and get more payment than other countries13. Which is the proper description of British working practices?A. The working time of British workers is within the EU limit.B. In terms of productivity, Britain is beaten by the United States.C. Profits gained from new technology are on the decrease.D. Automation and AI are likely to cause an instable work market.14. Which can be inferred from O’Grady’ s words in the last paragraph?A. It’s time for employers to share the increased profits created by automation.B. Workers should benefit from automation in the form of less working hours.C. New technology should belong to both businesses and workers.D. Businesses can’t make more profits without new technology.15. What is the author’s purpose of writing the passage?A. To introduce some British firms’ switch to a four-day working week.B. To explain the reasons why British workers suffer stress and anxiety.C. To appeal for more reasonable working conditions.D. To present the current productivity problem in Britain.第二节(共5小题;每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

In 1985，Ballard’s mission was to dive to depths of 9,800 feet using a camera system called Argo to find and document the exploded remains of the submarine (潜艇) Scorpion. The objective of the mission was to gain evidence to determine what led to her loss.

She often talked about how exciting and interesting the experience was. So, even before finishing high school, Downey had decided to follow suit one day.Downey began studying architecture at Lehigh University in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania in 2004. Near the end of her second year, she started to feel unhappy with her school and decided it was time to study abroad.U. S. colleges and universities commonly have joint programs with foreign schools that permit student exchanges. These programs usually last half a school year or sometimes a whole school year. The classes students take abroad usually give them credits toward their degree. In a four-year degree program, the third year is the most common time for American college students to study abroad. Many students think they need a change before what is usually their final and most difficult year of study.Downey said her school did not want her to go at first. The architecture program at Lehigh was very intense, and her professors were worried she might miss learning important material. However, she was eventually able to get special permission to study internationally for a whole year. During the fall term in 2006, she attended a Danish international school in Copenhagen, Denmark, explaining she did so because Danish architects are well known for their housing design.Young adult as she was, she had to deal with travel documents and many other issues(问题) on her own. Overcoming the language barrier is the biggest challenge of studying abroad. However, she had a lot of emotional(情感的) and financial support from her family. She learned life lessons and made friendships and memories that have lasted to this day. She said, "The more you’re out of your comfort zone, the more rewar ding the experience is in the end."1.What does Downey’s mother mean to Downey?A.A friend.B.A dreamer.C.An example.D.An expert.2.Why did Downey finally decide to study abroad?A.Her mother asked her to do so.B.Her school didn't live up to her expectations.C.She disliked studying architecture.D.The joint programs gave her much inspiration.3.What made Downey choose the Danish international school?A.The famous learned professors.B.The casual learning environment.C.The impressive academic reputation.D.The favorable geographical location.4.What can we infer according to the last paragraph?A.It was not easy for Downey to study abroad.B.The comfortable life is likely to ruin the future life.C.Downey was too young to take care of herself.D.Downey's parents could hardly afford her education.3、The Ebro Delta, known as, a battleground during the Spanish Civil War, is now the setting for a different contest, where rice farmers fight against two enemies: the rice-eating giant apple snail, and rising sell levels. What happens here will have an effect on the future of European rice production and the overall health of southern European wetlands.Located in the Western Mediterranean, the Ebro Delta produces 120 million kilograms of rice a year, making it one of the continent's most important rice-growing areas. As the sea moves into these fresh-water marshes(湿地), however, rising salinity(盐分) is hindering rice production. At the same time, this sea-water also kills off the greedy giant apple snail, an introduced pest that feeds on young rice plants. The most promising strategy has become to exploit one evil against the other.The battle is currently in progress on land, in greenhouses at the University of Barcelona. Scientists working under the guidance of "Project Neurice" are seeking varieties of rice that can withstand the increasing salinity without losing the absorbency."The project has two sides, "says Xavier Serrat, Neurice project manager and researcher at the University of Barcelona, "the short-term fight against the snail, and a mid-to long-term fight against climate change. But the snail has given the project greater urgency. "Originally from South America, the snails were accidentally introduced into the Ebro Delta. For now, the giant apple snail's presence in Europe is limited to the Ebro Delta, But the snail continues its march to new territory, says Serrat. "The question is not whether it will reach other rice-growing areas of Europe, but when."1. What's the most effective strategy according to Paragraph 2?A. Beating enemies one by one.B. Striking the stronger enemy first.C. Killing two birds with one stone.D. Using one enemy to hit the other.2. What do we know about the "Project Neurice"?A. It puts the control of snails first.B. It functions pretty well on climate change.C. It aims to increase the Spanish rice production.D. It stresses the snails' effect on rice production.3. What can be known about the apple snails from the text?A. It can tolerate the rising salinity.B. It will attack other rice-growing areas.C. It multiplies at a high speed.D. It was introduced into Span deliberately.4. Which section is the text most likely from?A. Chemistry.B. Tourism.C. Farming.D. Geography.4、The ruins of a Maya city have been discovered in Guatemala with the help of the remote sensing technique LiDAR. This lost city envelops sites like Tikal, Holmul, and Witzna, but shows that these famous areas are a small part of this lost urban network.Hidden under the jungles of the Maya Biosphere Reserve site, more than 60,000human-made features —homes，canals，highways，and more —have been identified in aerial (从飞机上的)images collected by some international researchers headed by the PAGUNAM Foundation, a Maya cultural and natural heritage organization. Those have experts rethinking the outlines and complexity of the Maya Empire.These ancient peoples obviously created these imaginative cultures based on their known relics (遗迹），but the new research has suggested that the size of this lost society is far beyondwhat experts imagined. The findings will be explored in a one-hour documentary called "Lost Treasures of the Maya Snake Kings", to be broadcast on the National Geographic Channel.This breakthrough was possible thanks to LiDAR sensors, which can survey lands in 3D by bouncing pulses off the ground from unmanned air vehicles and others. LiDAR is exceptionally useful for detecting archeological(考古的）sites, as it gets through jungles and other features that hold up exploration on the ground. The technique has made many discoveries become a reality in recent years. For instance, major finds at Angkor, Cambodia and Caracol, Belize can explain what it did. The final goal is to survey Guatemala’s lowlands with it."There are entire cities we didn't know about now showing up in the survey data," Francisco Estrada-Belli, one of the lead archeologists on the project, said in Nat Geo's coming documentary. "There are 20,000 square kilometres more to be explored and there are going to be hundreds of cities about the mysterious people who built this urban network there that we don’t know about，and we will push back the frontiers with the technology，" he added.1. What does the underlined word "Those" in paragraph 2 refer to?A. Jungles.B. Human-made features.C. Researchers.D. Aerial images.2. What does the author want to convey in paragraph 4?A. The working principle of LiDAR sensors.B. The process of researching Maya civilization.C. Great importance of Guatemalans lowlands.D. LiDA R’s contribution to discovering the relics.3. Which words can best describe the lost Maya city?A. Small and hidden.B. Famous and high-tech.C. Vast and complex.D. Fully-explored and imaginative.4. What will the archeologists do next?A. Continue to explore the unknown.B. Upgrade the LiDAR technology.C. Study the documentary carefully.D. Build a massive urban network,5、I feel happy when I come home at the end of the day and see those big, graphic prints on my wall.

新高考英语全真模拟卷(山东专用)全真模拟卷(二)(原卷版)

2020 年山东新高考英语全真模拟卷(二 )英语第二部分阅读(共两节，满分50 分 )第一节 (共 15 小题 ;每题 2.5 分，满分37.5 分)阅读以下短文，从每题所给的 A 、 B、 C、 D 四个选项中选出最正确选项。

AThe Fennec fox is also known as the desert fox since it survives in the Sahara Desert. It is the smallest of the species of foxes, and quite a few people wish to raise it as a pet because of its appearance. However, this is very rare, as it needs special care and attention. Let's take a look at the basic information on the Fennec fox, including its physical appearance, natural habitat, and diet.Physical Appearance－16 inches, and 6-inch- long ears. It weighs only around one kilogram. It has a cream- colored, furry body, with a black- tipped tail.Their ears are the largest among all foxes relative to the body size, which not only provide them with great hearing, but also radiate the extreme desert heat and thus help to keep the body cool. Moreover, in order to walk on the hot sand, a Fennec fox's feet are covered with thick fur. Not only that, the feet also help in digging,as this animal lives under the ground.Habitat and LifestyleThe habitat of this animal is mainly in the Sahara Desert, and also in other parts of North Africa. The Fennec fox is usually active during the night. This character helps it deal successfully with the extreme heat in the desert.As an extremely social animal, it often lives in groups of ten and each group has its own land. This animal is, however, aggressive too, ready to attack, especially in the mating ( 交配 ) season, when they all compete with each other for a mate.DietThe Fennec fox is an omnivore ( 杂食动物 ).

Two thousand years ago, beside the beautiful Luobu Lake, there lay Loulan ancient city of the Silk Road. Businessmen from every country gathered here and there were lots of dancing parties. Everything shows that people in Loulan lived a rich life then.However, two thousand years later, this rich land suddenly disappeared from the map of China.

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.

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.

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.

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. It is expensive.D. It is powered by batteries.34. What is the main idea of Paragraph 4?A. How heavy the Coton handy washer is.B. Why people invent the Coton handy washer.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。

AMy college experience included this life-skill lesson:Drink alcohol on a full stomach. Or you will get inebriated too quickly.Of course,most college studentsshouldn't be drinking at all,but we know from the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism that close to60percent of college students aged18to22do consume alcohol,which makes harm-reducing approaches important. Unfortunately,campus authorities and researchers are reporting a practice that turns the full-stomach drinking strategy on its head:rather than filling up before a night of partying,significant numbers of students refuse to eat all day before consuming alcohol.This is a high-risk behavior called"drunkorexia,"which is one part eating disorder, one part alcoholism一a very dangerous combination for college-age students.The term drunkorexia,which can also include excessive exercise or purging before consuming alcohol,was coined about10years ago,and it started showing up in medical research around2012.Drunkorexia addresses the need to be the life of the party while staying extremely thin,pointing to a flawed mind-set about body image and alcoholism among college students,mostly women.Imagine this scenario:A female college freshman doesn't eat anything all day, exercises on an empty stomach,then downs five shots of tequila in less than two hours.Because there's no food in her system to help slow the absorption of alcohol, those shots affect her rapidly,leading to inebriation and possibly passing out, vomiting or suffering alcohol poisoning.That's drunkorexia.Ta v is Glassman,professor of health education and public health at the University of Toledo in Ohio,researches drunkorexia and worries about scenarios such as the one described above:"With nothing in her system,alcohol hits quickly,and that brings up the same issues as with any high-risk drinking:getting home safely,sexual assault,unintentional injury,fights,hangovers that affect class attendance and grades,and possibly ending up in emergency because the alcohol hits so hard,"he says.H Alcohol can negatively affect the liver or gastrointestinal system,it can interfere with sleep,lower the immune system and is linked to several types of cancers/' Hultin says.1.What does the underlined word"inebriated"in paragraph1mean?A.excitedB.overwhelmedC.addictedD.drunk2.We can infer from the passage that.A.a large number of college students spend most of their nights partyingB.some college students refuse to eat before drinking alcohol to keep slimC.There is a direct link between body image and consuming alcoholD.female college student is more likely to be hurt if she drinks alcohol3.Which of the following may Ta v is Glassman agree with?A.With more food in one's system,he may suffer from the effects of alcohol slowly.B.Drinking five shots of tequila in less than two hours is the performance of drunkorexia.C.Those who don't attend classes and have lower grades tend to be addicted to alcohol.D.Alcohol has negative effects on the immune system and may lead to several cancers.BThe first men and women came to Britain over two and a half million years ago. They were hunters and gatherers of food who used stone tools and weapons.Butthe British Isles only became islands separate from the rest of Europe about8,500 years ago,when melting ice formed the English Channel!3,000years after Britain became an island,new tribes who came by boat from the mainland introduced farming.These tribes built earthworks for protection and as tombs for their dead.Many of these man-made hills can still be seen.Later on,people learned to build stone monuments.The most amazing is Stonehenge,a circle of huge stones begun about4,500years ago.Stonehenge is the world's most famous prehistoric monument.We don't know what it meant or what it was used for,though many different suggestions have been made.3,000years ago the climate in Britain became colder and wetter than before, and people had to move down from high ground.A bit later iron started to be sued for tools and weapons instead of bronze.Knowledge of ironworking may have been brought by the Celts,a new wave of immigrants who started to arrive from southern Europe in about500BC.What we know about the first people in Britain has been worked out by archaeologists from the remains they left behind them.Pytheas,a Greek,was thefirst person who could read and write to come to Britain.His visit was in about 330BC,over2000years after Stonehenge was begun.Unfortunately,what Pytheas wrote has been lost,so we don't have any written record of Britainuntil the Romans came,almost300years after he did!4.This passage mainly tells us.A.The dawn of history in BritainB.How English Channel was formedC.How the British made a living millions of years agoD.When humans appeared on the British Isles5.In this passage"the man-made hill"probably refers to.A.The small islands in BritainB.Earthworks for protection and as tombsC.The amazing StonehengeD.The farms opened up by the first man6.Why did people move to low ground3,000years ago?A.Because iron tools were used for farmingB.Because the climate made it unfit for man to live thereC.Because more people arrived from southern EuropeD.Because the Celts forced them to do so7.Only after do people have written records about Britain.A.the arrival of the CeltsB.Stonehenge was begunC.Pytheas's visitD.the Romans cameCDuring Amsterdam's chaotic rush hour,nine-year-old Lotta Crok cycles to a very busy junction."Look,"she says."There's traffic coming from everywhere.Four trams from four different directions.For a child on a bike that's really confusing!"Lotta is the first junior cycle mayor in the world and her working area is the Dutch capital.You would think this challenge would be superfluous in a city known as the bicycle capital of the world.The number of bicycles in Amsterdam is estimatedat81,000-more than the city's850,000inhabitants-and63%of the population cycle daily.But children who cycle in Amsterdam face challenges,Lotta says:"The three biggest problems for us are cars,cycling tourists and scooters（小型摩托）.The cars take up too much space,the tourists are always swinging side to side and stop when you least expect it,and the scooters simply run you over."Lotta became junior cycle mayor in June last year when she won a contest in which school children were asked to come up with plans to make cycling safer and more fun.Her idea was to add children's bikes to the popular bike share programme.Since Lotta was appointed junior cycle mayor,she has been busy,giving interviews, opening cycling contests in the city and being a jury（评审员）member during the Amsterdam Light Parade,an event in which Amsterdammers decorate their bikes with lights.She is now planning a meeting with the city's mayor to discuss ideas that children have come up with:"One of our proposals is a bicycle park where children can learn how to cycle.Right now,most of us learn a it in the street,which can be quite busy. Another idea is to create an app for tourists to teach them the rules of cycling, because most of them really don't know.”Following the success of the Amsterdam scheme,cycle mayors around the world are now planning to appoint junior colleagues."They see it works really well,"Boerma, the senior major,says."I talk to the parents,Lotta talks to the children.And if you look at the city through the eyes of a child,you will also make it accessible for others.A city that's good for an eight-year-old is also good for an88-year-old.H8.Why is a junior cycle mayor appointed in Amsterdam?A.To teach children how to ride.B.To ensure cycling is safer for children.C.To give suggestions to the city's mayor on how to run the city.D.To organize the cycling contests in the city.9.Which word can best replace the underlined word"superfluous"in paragraph2?A.ImportantB.UnnecessaryC.DifficultD.Valuable10.What has Lotta done since she became the bike mayor?.A.She has solved the three biggest problems for children cycling in Amsterdam.B.She has won a contest about cycling.C.She has given interviews and been a jury member during a parade.D.She has given proposals to the city mayor.11.What's Boerma's attitude to the junior cycle mayor?A.CautiousB.FavorableC.AmbiguousD.DisapprovingDGive yourself a test.Which way is the wind blowing?How many kinds ofwildflowers can be seen from your front door?If your awareness is as sharp as it could be,you'll have no trouble answering these questions.Most of us observed much more as children than we do as adults.A child's day is filled with fascination,newness and wonder.Curiosity gave us all a natural awareness.But distinctions that were sharp to us as children become unclear;we are numb（麻木的）to new stimulationf刺激new ideas.Relearning the art of seeing the world around us is quite simple,although it takes practice and requires breaking some bad habits.The first step in awakening senses is to stop predicting what we are going to see and feel before it occurs.This blocks awareness.One chilly night when I was hiking in the Rocky Mountains with some students,I mentioned that we were going to cross a mountain stream.The students began complaining about how cold it would be.We reached the stream,and they unwillingly walked ahead.They were almost knee-deep when they realized it was a hot ter they all admitted they'd felt cold water at first.Another block to awareness is the obsession（痴迷）many of us have withnaming things.I saw bird watchers who spotted a bird,immediately looked it up in field guides,and said,a"ruby-crowned kinglet"and checked it off.They no longer paid attention to the bird and never learned what it was doing.The pressures of"time"and"destination"are further blocks to awareness.I encountered many hikers who were headed to a distant camp-ground with just enough time to get there before dark.It seldom occurred to them to wander a bit,to take a moment to see what's around them.I asked them what they'd seen."Oh,a few birds,”they said.They seemed bent on their destinations.Nature seems to unfold to people who watch and wait.Next time you take a walk, no matter where it is,take in all the sights,sounds and sensations.Wander in this frame of mind and you will open a new dimension to your life.12.According to Paragraph2,compared with adults,children are more.A.anxious to do wonders.B.sensitive to others1feelings.C.likely to develop unpleasant habits.D.eager to explore the world around them.13.What idea does the author convey in Paragraph3?A.To avoid jumping to conclusions.B.To stop complaining all the time.C.To follow the teacher's advice.D.To admit mistakes honestly.14.The bird watchers1behavior shows that they.A.are very patient in their observation.B.are really fascinated by nature.C.care only about the names of birds.D.question the accuracy of the field guides.15.In the passage,the author intends to tell us we should.A.fill our senses to feel the wonders of the world.B.get rid of some bad habits in our daily life.C.open our mind to new things and ideas.D.try our best to protect nature.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

This legendary (传奇的) bookshop is impossible to leave empty-handed. It was once listed in the Guinness Book of World Records as the biggest bookshop on the planet. (107 Charing Cross Road. Monday-Saturday: 9:00-21:00; Sunday: 11:30-18:00.) Hatchards In the year 1797, this London bookshop—the oldest in the city today—first flicked on its lights.

Which place should you go to if you want to enjoy reading with a coffee?A. 83 Marylebone High Street.B. 107 Charing Cross Road.C. 187 Piccadilly Street.D. 14 Bury Place.My daughter was being thrown out of the sixth grade. The teacher said to me, “She may not be up to what we’re trying to accomplish.” He was really saying she didn’t have the intelligence. I got mad because I knew she was smart, just as my father had known I was smart when I was failing in school. We had her tested and found that the troubles my daughter was having were the same as those I had had. I decided to get tested as well. She was dyslexic, and so was I. By then I was a successful television writer and producer. I’d won an Emmy for “The Rockford Files.”Had I known earlier, though, that there was a reason beyond my control to explain why I was a low achiever, I may not have worked so hard in my late 20s and early 30s. I was writing and writing. I was working for no other reason than to hear people praise me.I needed that praise because I was carrying around the failure in studies. I did badly in all my courses.I once asked a friend who had always gotten an A, “How long did you study for this?” He said, “I didn’t. I just glanced at it.” So what do I take from that? He must be smarter than I am. I began to ask, “What will happen to me when I’m not good at anything?” Despite my doubts, I did become successful, and people now say to me, “So you’ve overcome dyslexia.”No. You don’t overcome it, you learn to compensate for it. Some easy things are very hard for me. Most people who go through college read at least twice as fast as I do. I avoid dialing a phone if I can, because I sometimes have to try three times to get the number right. I get that recording “The number you have reached is not in service” more than any man on earth.Despite my weaknesses I view dyslexia as a gift, not a curse (诅咒). Many dyslexics are good at right- brain, abstract thought, and that’s what my kind of creative writing is. And I can write quickly— I go like wind — and can get up to 15 pages a day. Writing is not the problem. That’s my strength.The real fear I have for dyslexic is not that they have to struggle with regular school studies, but that they will quit on themselves before they get out of school. Parents have to create victories whenever they can, whether it’s music, sports or art. You can make your dyslexic child able to say, “Yeah, reading’s hard. But I have these other things I can do.”4. The writer decided to get himself tested probably because ________.A. he wanted to know if they had the same problemB. he accepted that his daughter was not smartC. he didn’t （realize the problem with his daughterD. his father had the same troubles as they did5. What can you infer from the second paragraph?A. The writer struggled hard and finally ended with good grades.B. The writer was thankful not knowing of his dyslexia before.C. Dyslexia made the writer a low achiever all through his life.D. People praised the writer because they knew he had dyslexia.6. The word “dyslexia” can be interpreted as ________.A. hearing disabilityB. low in intelligenceC. mental illnessD. disorder of reading7. Which of the following proverbs can best summarize the main idea?A. Never judge a person by his appearance.B. God never shuts one door but he opens another.C. If at first you don’t succeed, try, try again.D. No one can make a good coat with bad cloth.Sometimes, you just can't help it. Maybe you're watching a sad movie, or thinking about the friend who moved away. Next thing you know, you feel pressure in your throat, your eyes are watering, and you have tears running down your cheeks.According to Ad Vingerhoets, a professor of psychology at Tilburg University, in the Netherlands, who is one of the few scientists in the world who have studied crying, there are three types of tears. Basal tears are the first type. They act as a protective barrier between the eye and the rest of the World. Next are reflex tears. They wash your eyes clean when something gets in them. Finally, there are emotional tears. “These are released in response to emotional states,” explains Vingerhoets.Scientists believe crying has something to do with how humans developed and learned to depend on each other. “Humans are very complex social creatures,” says Lauren Bylsma, a professor at the University of Pittsburgh, in Pennsylvania. "It seems that tears serve to arouse help and support from others,” She says.Vingerhoets agrees, "I think that the reason why humans shed tears（流眼泪）has something to do with our childhood, " he says. "that's the time when we are still dependent on adults for love and protection and care. The major advantage of emotional tears is that you can target them at a specific person." Vingerhoets says this ability could have come in handy in prehistoric times, when humans were living among dangerous animals. Tears were a safer way to get attention. "In this case, it is better to use a silent signal to ask for help, "he says.Vingerhoets and Byhma do frequent studies to better understand why humans cry. According to Byhma, there is still much more to discover. "It's surprising, "she says, "how much we still don't know.”8. In the scientists' opinion, crying is ________.A. a sign of human evolutionB. a result of human kindnessC. a cause of personal growthD. a means of relying on each other9. The underlined phrase "this ability" in the last paragraph refers to the ability to ________.A. seek help wiselyB. aim tears at someoneC. cry emotionallyD. appeal to other people10. From the text, we learn that Ad Vingerhoets and Lauren Bylsma ________.A. hold different opinions about the causes of tearsB. think positively of the effects of tearsC. are working together to study tearsD. have learned enough about tears11. What can be a suitable title for the text?A. The types of tearsB. The components of tearsC. The science of tearsD. The opinions about tearsTake a walk through Washington and you’ll find plenty of marble memorials(纪念碑). But is that what the future of the memorial-rich city holds? If the winners of a new design competition have their way, probably not.The Memorials for the Future design competition invited submissions (意见书) from teams throughout the world. Though, the memorials selected won’t actually be built in the city, they were intended to start a discussion about how to think of memorials in a very different future.Climate Chronograph, the winning project by Team Azimuth Land Craft, greatly departs from memorials as we know them. The project memorializes the harmful effects of climate change by suggesting a memorial at Hains Point, a spot between the Potomac River and Washington Channel. Just 100 years ago, the man-made island was part of the river. It came into existence after the National Park Service decided to turn the confluence(合流点) of the waters into a tidal basin to protect the nearby National Mall from floods.Those floods are expected to come more and more often as the climate changes. Climate Chronograph will memorialize those changes by planting cherry trees as a kind of tidal gauge(潮位计) that can be used by future visitors to determine just how much water levels have risen.The other winning projects include a project that frees mechanical parrots that fly over the Jefferson Memorial and collect and retell stories about monuments，a podcast (播客) platform that puts immigrant stories on public transportation, and an interactive memorial that brings national parks to the D. C. Metro. The competition also produced a report that points to ways America can better memorialize the things that matter—strategies that could help cities save money and space.That’s good news, especially given that D. C. ’s iconic Mall has been closed to new construction. The memorials of the future won’t just turn collective memories toward the stories of new phenomena and groups like climate change and immigrants. Rather, it seems that they’ll make use of space in new creative ways—no marble needed.12. What is the purpose of the design competition?A. To select the best design team.B. To find new uses for old memorials.C. To design new memorials for Washington.D. To explore new ways of experiencing memorials.13. What can be used to replace the underlined word “departs” in Paragraph 3?A. DiffersB. BenefitsC. SuffersD. Learns14. What do we know about Climate Chronograph?A. It will be located in a park.B. It will be built after the competition.C. It clearly shows the effects of climate change.D. It uses high-tech equipment to measure climate change.15. What would be the best title for the text?A. A memorial to a sad future.B. Marble memorials are out of date.C. Climate Chronograph, memorial for our future. .D. What will the memorials of the future look like?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。

I came across them years ago as a college freshman, sitting in the library on a beautiful spring day, bored, working on a history paper, I don’t recall (21) I was researching into. Out of nowhere, those two words came (22) (dance) off the page in a quote by Gandhi, “In the midst of death life persists, in the midst of untruth truth persists, in the midst of darkness light persists.”After those words (23) (read) again a dozen times, suddenly I was no longer bored. Outside in the sunshine, I kicked off my shoes and danced barefoot across a spring-green lawn.I love spring. And this year, I was especially hungry to see it. Flying home last weekend to Las Vegas, after 10 days in California, I looked down on hills that were so green that I (24)almost taste them. When I approached Vegas, the green turned a dull desert brown.We landed after sunset, and the only green to be seen was neon（霓虹灯）.But the next morning, to my surprise, I (25) (awake) to find signs of spring all over my yard. (26) my absence, all sorts of things had leafed and bloomed. Three days later, I drove toArizona to visit a friend and get yet another taste of spring seeing the Giants play the A’s in spring training. The drive across the desert was completely great, a variety of wildflowers and blooming cactuses.Sometimes we need the chance (27)(remind) that we’re still alive. After my husband died, a friend sent me a card which read: “Just(28)you think you will never smile again, life comes back.”Life persists, and so do (29) in the green of spring and the dead of winter, in the birth of a child and the passing of a loved one; in the words we leave behind and the hearts of those (30) will remember us. Spring reminds us that we’re alive forever.A. affordableB. culturalC. drivingD. influenceE. materialismF. outward-lookingG. resultedH. shapedI. sharing J. shift K. specializedSection BDirections: After reading the passage below, fill in each blank with a proper word given in the box.

But with more people living and working overseas and becoming exposed to influences from different cultures, many of us are seeking a(n) 31 , connected world.According to the recently published study from Culture Trip, 60% of people in the US and UK say that their outlook on life is shaped by the 32 from different cultures. As a society, we not only want to discover and experience other cultures, we want to learn from them, too. This is one of the many positive side effects of globalization. At the same time, the economic landscape of the last decade has resulted in a shift in values away from 33 , with younger generations more interested in collecting experiences than possessions.Welcome to the “new culture economy”.The collision （碰撞）of two trends - globalization and the experienceeconomy - has 34a new attitude to travel, with cultural curiosity at its heart. This is the “new culture economy”. The phenomenon is havinga powerful impact on people’s interactions and definitions of35exploration, and presents an incredible commercial opportunity.While globalization is usually talked about in the context of the 36 of trade and capitalbetween countries, we shouldn’t forget that the 37 force behind it all it people. Education, travel, exposure to other customs and geographies andthe cultural integration（融合）are the moreinfluential social effects of globalization. People areincreasingly living or working in countries other than the ones in which they were born - more than half of respondents from the study have friends living overseas, all of which has 38 in more interaction with global cultures.Also, student debt and unafford-able housing have created a(n) 39in spending patterns, and so a new set of values has emerged in which experiences matter more than ownership. Travel is absolutely necessary to most people’s lives - in fact, nearly half of all respondents cut down ontheir daily expenses so they can save money to travel more. For “generation rent” in particular, no matter how expe nsive an experience or a trip, it is still more 40 than a house.III.ReadingComprehensionSection 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.Communication, One Major Part of theScientific MethodScientists may feel it their duty to share their guesses, methods, and findings with the rest of the scientific community .This sharing serves two 41 . First, it supports the basic deal ofskepticism（怀疑论）by making it possible for others to say,“Oh,yeah? Let me check that.”It tellsothers where to see what the scientist saw, and what techniques and tools to use. Second, it gets the word out so that others can use what has been discovered. This is essentialbecause science is a(n) 42 efforts. People who work thousands of miles apart build with and upon each other’s discoveries.The communication of science begins with “peer review”, a process of 43 an author’s scholarly work, research or ideas to the inspection of otherexperts. It typically has three stages. The first occurs when a scientists seeks funding - from government agencies, foundations, or other44 -- to carry out a research program. He or she must preparea report describing the intended work, laying out background, hypotheses（假设）, planned experiments, expected results, and eventhe 45 impacts on other fields. Committees of other scientists then 46 the report to see whether the scientist knows his or her area, has the necessary abilities, and is realistic in his or her plans.Once the scientist has the needed 47 , has done the work, and has written a report of the results, that reports will go to a scientific journal. Before publishing the report, the journal’s editors will show it to other workers in the same or 48 fields and ask whether the work was done adequately, the conclusion are justified, and the report should be published.The third stage of peer review happens are publication, when the broader scientific community gets to see and 49 the work.This three-stage quality-control process can, of course, be faulty.Any scientist withindependent wealth can 50 the first stage quite easily but such scientists are much, much rarer today than they were a century or so ago. Those who remain are the object of envy. 51 , it is fair to say that they are not disapprov ed as were those whoavoid the latter two stages of the “peer review” mechanisms by using press conferences.On the other hand, it is certainly possible for the standard peer review mechanisms to 52 . By their nature, these mechanisms are more likely to 53 ideas that are not different from what the reviewers think they already know. Yet the un-traditional or unconventional ideas are not 54 wrong, as Alfred Wegener proved when he tried to gain 55 for the idea of continental drift in the early twentieth century. It was not until the 1960s that most geologists accepted hisideas as genuine insights. 41. A. purposesB. dutiesC. interestsD. needs 42. A. innovativeB. prospectiveC. cooperativeD. plain 43.

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 the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have read.(A)To Be a Deaf DJI was born in England with perfect hearing. In 1990, when I was five, my family moved to the United States. I started getting ear infections every three months or so. We didn’t have health insurance at the time, and when I got a third infection, my parentscouldn’t afford the treatment. I went deaf in my right ear and was left with 50 percent hearing in my left. Over time, my remaining hearing dropped to 20 percent, where it is today. My doctors predicted that I would be thoroughly deaf by now, so I think I’m doing pretty well.There was always music on in my house in my childhood. I loved listening to Metallica, Led Zeppelin, Michael Jackson. My dad was a DJ, so he played disco, folk, rock, and music from other countries. For my 18th birthday, my dad asked me to deejay at the restaurant be owned.After doing that for a few weeks, I was hooded. I desired to learn more. I e-mailed DJ Shiftee, a distinguished New York City DJ, whenI was 25: “I know you like a challenge. How about teachinga deaf person to deejay?” He wrote back the next day; “Challenge accepted.” He tutored me twice a week for two years, helping me develop correcttechnique. I practiced four hours a day.Now when I’m performing, muscle memory takes over. When I started, I wouldn’t tell the club managers that I was deaf.I would just show up, introduce myself, and start playing music. At the end of thenight, someone would say, “Oh, here’s the check.” And I’d say, “What? Oh, I can’t hear.” They were always so astonished. Sometimes I would bring doctor’s notes because they wouldn’t believe me. It was reassurance that they were giving me opportunities to perform because I was brilliant, no out of sympathy. E ventually people started calling me “that deaf DJ,” and the name stuck.What fascinates me about deejaying is the creativity. I usesoftware that turns the music into lines of color on a computer screen. I’m visually hearing the music. The next time you go dancing, cover your ears, and you’ll start seeing that you’re able to hear the music in a different way. Music is not all about hearing. I pay all sorts of get-togethers now, from college parties to corporate events. I also go to elementary schools for the deaf and talk to the students about motivation and believing in themselves. I’m big on talking to the parents. I tell them, “My advice to you is let your kids chase their dreams. I’m a deaf DJ, so why not?”56.Which of the following might result in the aut hor’s hearing loss?A.Monthly ear infection.B. Moving to the U. S.C. Family financial hardshipD. The doctors’ prediction.57.How did DJ Shiftee help the author during his youth?A.He taught him correct skills.B. He discovered his talent for DJ.C. He played at the restaurant for him.D. He cultivated his taste for foreign music.58.The underlined expression in Paragraph 3 “the name stuck” probablymeans that .A.the author was in low spiritsB. the author impressed people deeplyC.the audience felt disappointed by the playerD.the audience looked down upon the player59.We can conclude from the passage that the author loves deejayingbecause .A.working as a DJ involves innovationB.music helps him to see the world virtuallyC.he motivates the kids to realize their dreamD.he desires to challenge something impossible(B)FREE HomeschoolingIf you are reading this page you are looking into homeschooling.

Scores of people wander around on the thick crash pads, chatting, waiting their turn and offering the odd shout of encouragement to those clinging on to the colourful climbing walls.Rock climbing was once classified as an “extreme sport”. But indoor centres like The Arch, which offer climbing without the need for rocks, are bringing it into the mainstream. The British Mountaineering Council estimates there are at least 248 public climbing walls in Britain, a number that has risen by 30% since 2010. In 2020 th e sport’s governing b odies are hoping to see an even bigger increase in interest. Along with skateboarding, surfing and karate（空手道）, rock climbingwill be making its first appearance as an Olympic sport at the summer games in Tokyo.The International Olympic Committee (IOC) is frank about the ambition to appeal to a younger crowd who may be less familiar with longer-standing sports such as athletics and weightlifting. The crowd at the Arch is exactly what the IOC has in mind: mostly young professional letting off steam after work, who see climbing as a more engaging ans sociable alternative to jogging on running machines or pumping iron in a gym. Between them, the new sports will mean another 18 events and 474 athletes at the Tokyo games.Officially, all four sports are delighted with their new status. But with the exception of karate, all of them have counter-cultural, anti-establishment roots. Some stars have wondered whether accepting the Olympic torch means going against their beliefs. Owen Wright, a famous surfer, has said that surfing is more art form than sport, and therefore not suitable for the games -though hehas since gone back on his word, and hopes to represent Australia in Tokyo.Adam Ondra, a Czech who is one of the world’s climbers, said he might steer clear of the games because of the format. The eventual Olympic champion will have to master all the three disciplines including bouldering (climbing without a rope, low to the ground, with a focus on hard, gymnastic moves), lead climbing (roped climbing up a tall wall of increasing difficulty) and speed climbing. Bouldering and lead climbing feature new routes in each stage of a competition, in an effort to imitate the variety of real rock. But speed climbing takes place on a standard, unvarying course. Because of this, said Mr. Ondra, “speed is a kind of artificial discipline ... and this is against the soul of climbing.”Skateboarders, also notably rebellious, can be strikingly young. Sky Brown is set to become Britain’s youngest Olympian and has settled down to training. By the time of the Tokyo games, she will have turned 12.63.Which of the following statements is true about rock climbing？A.It originated in The Arch, a sports centre on the River Thames.B.It has evolved from a mainstream sport into an extreme sport.C.Spectator’s encouragement contributes to its rapid expansion.D.The increase in climbing walls reflects a growing interest in it.64.IOC introduced rock climbing into the Olympics in ordertoA.familiarize the global population with the new sportB.attract young people who lack interest in traditional sportsC.enable the young to let off their energy after workD.challenge the dominant status of traditional sports65.What can you infer from the star athletes’ responses according to thepassage?A.Surfers are expected to strike a balance between art and sport in the Olympics.B.Rock climbers must be self-disciplined if they are to win the championship.C.Adam believes that the soul of climbing consists in its harmony with nature.D.Strikingly young skateboarders have an advantage over other opponents.66.What is the passage mainly about?A.With the addition of new Olympics sports, stars are divided on whether to participate.B.Rock climbing, skateboard, surfing and karate are accepted as Olympics sports.A. It all goes back to each country’s distinct cultural heritage.B. American stories are rooted in realism; even our fantasies are rooted in r ealism.C. Both boys are characterized by their unique roles, thus breathing life into the fancy stories.D. Meanwhile, the United States, also a major player in children’s classics, deals much less in magic.E. Britain’s time -honored countryside, with ancient castlesand restful farms, lends itself to fairy-tale invention.F. Both orphans t ook over the world of children’s literature, but their stories unfold in noticeabledifferent ways.C. Extreme sports athletes rebel against traditions while training for the Olympics.D. The appeal of a new sport event consists is changing for format of this game.Section CDirections: Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note thatthere are two more sentences than you need.How the British and American Tell Children’s StoriesIf Harry Potter and Huckleberry Finn were each to represent British versus Americanchildren’s literature, a curious situation would emerge : In a literary competition for the hearts and minds of children, one is a wizard （巫师）- in - training at a boarding school in the Scottish。

To take the first step, I did some brainstorming and explored opportunities on the Internet and finally decided to go for China. There were a number of reasons behind it—its advanced education system and thousands of centuries of rich culture inspired me to study there. The primary one was my curiosity how a nation has left many nations behind in a short time at its fast pace of development.So just like that, I applied, along with some of my friends, for a master's degree program at Communication University of China. I was the only one who got selected in the said program and in addition, the Chinese Scholarship Council sponsored all of my expenses. This good news was welcomed by my family.This is my seventh month in Beijing. In my experience so far, one thing that appeared to be missing was the internship (实习) which I tried to find because I want to work here after completion of my studies. After some struggles I was lucky enough to get the opportunity to work as an intern with the Center for China and Globalization (CCG). It's very exciting to work on their team as a researcher.

Before being sent away this boy was the brightest student in his class. He was at the top in every competition. He was a champion.But the boy changed after leaving home and attending the boarding school. His grades started dropping. He hated being in a group. He was lonely all the time. And there were especially dark times when he felt like killing himself. All of this was because he felt worthless and that no one loved him.His parents started worrying about the boy. But even they did not know what was wrong with him. So his dad decided to travel to the boarding school and talk with him.They sat on the bank of the lake near the school. The father started asking him casual questions about his classes, teachers and sports. After some time his dad said, “Do you know son, why I am here today?”The boy answered back, “to check my grades?”“No, no” his dad replied, “I am here to tell you that you are the most important person for me. I want to see you happy. I don’t care about grades. I care about you. I care about your happiness. YOU ARE MY LIFE.”These words caused the boy’s eyes to fill with tears. He hugged his dad. They didn’t say anything to each other for a long time.Now the boy had everything he wanted. He knew there was someone on this earth who cared for him deeply. He meant the world to someone. And today this young man is in college at the top of his class and no one has ever seen him sad!Thanks a lot dad.

But this is really happening, and it's a project of NASA and two European space agencies the Institute of Aerospace Medicine at the Cologne-based German Aerospace Center and the European Space Agency. It’s called Artificial Gravi ty Bed Rest Study, aimed at studying how the body adapts to weightlessness in space.Scientists are seeking 12 women to spend two full months inbed in the fall at a German lab, plus an additional month there for preparation and recovery. The first 12 test subjects all men, already have started the study.Participants spend two entire months in bed and remain lying down even to do everyday things like eating drinking and exercising. They also answer nature's call and shower but it's unclear from the NASA website how those tasks are accomplished in bed."Daily routine showering getting dressed eating exercising takes much time when you cannot stand up to do them," says the website adding that there is “continuous data collection, including blood pressure, heart rate, nutrient absorption and also the participants' feelings. Study subjects will spend the 60 days with their heads tilted (倾斜) down six degrees which imitates(模仿)conditions in space.Participants are encouraged to pass the time by watching TV, taking online courses reading and any other activities they can perform while lying down alone in bed to relieve what could be boredom. Family and friends are allowed to visit.The high $18, 500 payment for two months of lazing about is probably a major motivation for people willing to go through something this extreme. However, if you're an American who really needs the money, you probably can't afford it. Candidates need to travel to Cologne four times at their own expense for the employment process between April and July. Plus they need strong German-speaking skills. Also participants need to be nonsmokers between ages 24 and 55 in good health, with normal body weight.1.What are participants expected to do during the study?A.Report their feelings regularly./doc/068263912.html,plete their daily routines in bed.C.Keep their bodies tilted down six degrees.D.Record their physical responses every day.2.What data about the participants will the researchers collect?A.The changes in their weight.B.Their behaviors to weightlessness.C.The ways they do their dailyD.Their physical and mental reactions.3.What will be a challenge for the participants?A.The language skills they need.B.The difficulty meeting family.C.The possibility that they feel dull.D.The slow discovery of their health.4.The requirements for potential participants are______.A.challenging for AmericansB.tailored to thin personsC.easy for the youth to satisfyD.suitable for most people4、Slowly but surely, we’re moving closer and closer to 5G world. From sma rt-home security to self-driving cars, all the internet-connected devices in your life will be able to talk to each other at lightning-fast speeds with reduced delay, Objectively speaking, the fastest 4G download speeds inthe U. S. top out at an average of 19.42 Mbps. But by comparison 5G promises gigabit (千兆) speeds.“5G is one of those signs, along with arti ficial intelligence, of this coming data age,” said Steve Koenig, senior director of market research for the Consumer Technology Association. “Theself-driving vehicle is a great emblem of this data age, and that is to say, it is a sign of time, because with one single task, driving, you have massive amounts of data coming from the vehicle itself, and a variety of sensors are collecting a lot of information to model its environment as it moves. It’s pulling in data from other vehicles about road conditions down the lane. It could be weather information, but also connected infrastructure (基础设施) construction. There’s lots of data behind that task, which is why we need high speed.Augmented reality glasses and virtual headset haven’t yet broken the mainstream, but tech companies are joyfully betting that these devices will eventually replace our smart-phones. With 5G, that could actually happen. This is notable because companies such as Apple are reportedly developing AR glasses to assist — or perhaps even replace — smartphones.Ericsson stated at February’s Mobile World Congress how smart glasses could become faster and lighter with a 5G connection, because instead of being weighed down with components, the glasses could rely on hardware for processing power.Bu t don’t get too excited. There’s still a lot of work to be done in the meantime, including various trials to make sure the radios play nicely with hardware and infrastructure construction so 5G isn’t concentrated only in big cities.1.What does the author want to stress in Paragraph 1?A.The lighting-fast speed of 5G.B.The expectation of 5G world.C.The difference between 4G and 5GD.The internet-connected devices in our life.2.What does the underlined word “emblem” in Paragraph2 mean?A.Exhibition.B.Success.C.Symbol.D.Explanation.3. We can infer from the text that ________.A.5G world won’t come without AR glassesB.5G helps to create the artificial intelligence vehicleC.Apple company is developing AR glasses worldwideD.Tech companies will face the fact that smartphones may be replaced4.What will the author probably tell us next?A.How to fully expand 5G coverage.B.Smart glasses will become faster and lighter.C.Why 5G isn’t concentrated in big cities.D.The importance of infrastructure construction.5、根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

This became the norm（准则）.Encouraged by the creative freedom her parents offered her, Oppenheim soon grew taller assisting her father. "By seven, I was the artist and he was supporting me, " she says.Chandra, the band formed when Eugenie Diserio and Steven Alexander saw Oppenheim perform and decided they wanted to work with her. They were contemporaries（同辈人）of her parents, former members of Model Citizens and played in no-wave band the Dance."Chandra was completely unique, " Alexander remembers. "We wanted to create a project around her. It wasn't just about working with a kid.""It felt nothing strange to be in an adult world and treated equally. I felt like an adult to a fault. I probably missed out on more fundamental kid-like experiences but that's where I wanted to be. " Oppenheim added.The band gave their first show at New York's legendary Mudd Club, a favourite place where some famous singers like Lou Reed, Debbie Harry and Johnny Thunders often went. There were more packed shows and great press in the New York Times and NME.A limited republishing in 2008 via Cantor Records created a new one. The film director Matt Wolf, who had directed a documentary on Arthur Russell, included Kate on the soundtrack to his 2013 documentary Teenage. A year later, offers to reform Chandra came in, which Oppenheim accepted: by 2016 she was performing live with the Avalanches in New York.(1) What do we know about Oppenheim from the first paragraph?A.

Its goal is to increase access to the billions of people now without the Internet connection.Its parent company, Alphabet, has no plans to use the traditional wiring, which can be costly. Instead, the idea is to float huge balloons about 20 kilometers above the surface of the earth acting like telecommunications satellites to provide the Internet service to the rural areas. The huge objects would ride air currents（气流）to either stay in place or move to another position high in the sky.At first, the idea was to have a large number of balloons circling the planet. One balloon would move away from an area while another arrived to guarantee service in the affected areas. But Alphabet announced it had found a way to make balloons float over one area for an extended period.In a statement released online, the company said its software could now send small teams of balloons to form a group over a specific region where people need the Internet access. This is a shift from our original model, in which we planned to create rings of balloons sailing around the globe, and balloons would take turns moving through a region to provide service.The company said the discovery was made during tests of balloons launched（发射）from the island of Puerto Rico to float in Peruvian airspace. The company said some of the balloons stayed in the same area for only three months.The company said the discovery should speed up the project and reduce costs, "We'll reduce the number of balloons we need and get greater value out of each one." But the project workers must still think of methods of increasing the life of the balloons. A British Broadcasting Corporation report says the longest service for a single balloon was 190 days.Google has also explored the idea of providing the Internet service to rural areas using solar-powered aircraft. But it cancelled that project because of technological barriers and high costs.(1) Why does Alphabet give up the traditional way of the Internet connection in rural areas?A. It's expensive to provide the Internet connection this way.B. The company doesn't have the technology to do so.C. Telecommunications satellites are hard to handle.D. There aren't enough air currents around the world.(2) What problem does the company probably need to deal with?A. Figuring the time balloons stay in the air.B. Expanding the places balloons could reach.C. Seeking help to reduce the cost of making balloons.D. Finding ways to make balloons stay longer in the air.(3) What can we infer about Google in the last paragraph?A. It has met no barriers getting everyone connected to the Internet.B. It will soon use solar-powered planes to provide the Internet connection.C. It has been devoting itself to getting rural people connected to the Internet.D. It always thinks about how to get more profit through the Internet connection.(4) Where is the text most likely from?A. A sports magazine.B. A newspaper report.C. A biology textbook.D. A research paper.4、【来源】 2020年高考模拟（D篇）第32~35题8分(每题2分)Fast walkers may live longer than dawdlers（缓慢的人）—regardless of their weight, a new study suggests.Researchers at Leicester University analyzed data on 474, 919 people with an average age of 52 in the UK Biobank between 2006 and 2016. They found women who walked briskly had a life expectancy of 86.7 to 87.8 years old, and men who kept up the pace had a life expectancy of 85.2 to 86.8. Slow walkers hadn't much encouraging prospects（前景）: women had a life expectancy of 72.4, and men of 64.8 years old, if they were more leisurely in their movements.According to the paper, published last week, that ratio held true even if the fast walkers were severely overweight. It does not necessarily mean fast walkers will live longer. Experts say it suggests walking speed could be a simple way for doctors to judge their patients' general health alongside other tests.It is hardly the first study holding up walking speed as a powerful evidence that appears to improve and determine our health.In 2011, the Journal of the American Medical Association（JAMA）published a study by Stephanie Studenski, who found the same: walking speed was a reliable predictor of life expectancy.In 2013, US researchers found walking pace was linked to lower heart disease risk and longer life expectancy. In 2018, a study from the University of Sydney found picking up your walking pace to even an "average speed" could cut your risk of premature death by a fifth.And Tom Yates, the physical activity professor at Leicester who's behind the latest study, has been publishing findings on this connection for years.In 2017, he analyzed the same UK Biobank data and found walking speed appeared to affect the risk of dying from heart disease—concluding that the slowest walkers were twice as likely to suffer a heart-related death compared to quick walkers.(1) What does the underlined word "briskly" in paragraph 2 probably mean?A. Casually.B. Quickly.C. Actively.D. Energetically.(2) What does the paper published last week show?A. Most fast walkers are overweight.B. Fast walkers have a simple way of living.C. Walking speed can help doctors know about their patients' general health.D. Doctors will surely have better ways to cure their patients of their illness.(3) What did US researchers find?A. Walking slowly is bad for people's health.B. Walking speed can predict a person's life expectancy.C. People won't die early by increasing their walking pace.D. Lower heart disease risk is determined partly by walking pace.(4) What's the best title for the text?A. Fast Walkers May Have a Long Life ExpectancyB. Life Expectancy Is Determined by ExerciseC. Researchers Try to Improve Life ExpectancyD. The Public Doubt Researches on Walking Speed二、七选五（共5小题，每小题2分，共10分）5、【来源】 2020年高考模拟（二）第36~40题10分(每题2分)2019~2020学年甘肃白银会宁县甘肃省会宁县第一中学高二上学期期末第16~20题10分If you have stage fright, or the anxiety or fear of speaking in public, you are not alone. Stage fright or performance anxiety is a natural phenomenon. The good news is that one can completely overcome stage fright. Here are some tips to help you overcome stage fright.Understand the symptoms of stage fright. You feel anxious, your throat tightens up, you start sweating, you forget all that you have memorized, and your knees and legs feel weak. Your heart literally explodes and every part of you is asking you to run. But be relaxed. Many top actors and actresses have experienced these similar symptoms of stage fright.1Plan well. One of the first keys of public speaking（or singing, playing the piano or acting）is to plan well. First, thoroughly study the subject you are going to talk about.2Besides knowing your subject well, it's also necessary to do some research on your audience. Adequate planning on these aspects will help you achieve the maximum of your potential.Keep eye contact.3Your influence will decrease considerably if they think you are talking over their heads. Keeping eye contact can also help you see their body language.Focus on breathing. Your mind is deeply connected to your breath.4It can help you stay mindful and avoid thoughts about past failures.5Preparation is the key to overcoming symptoms of stage fright. When you practice your speech a thousand times, you will relax in the knowledge that you will be confidently speaking without fear. Prepare so you can relax during the task.A. Practice as much as possible.B. Therefore, don't be too anxious.C. Second, you need to know your audience.D. The audience like to see you looking at them.E. So arrive early to get comfortable in the environment.F. Second, you should use visual aids and technology wisely.G. The longer and deeper your breath is, the calmer your mind will be.三、完形填空（共20小题，每小题1.5分，共30分）6、【来源】 2020年高考模拟（二）第41~60题30分(每题1.5分)Akram was sitting under a tree in the grassland near the camps.

Keep1（move）until you want to stop or change2（direction）. This way you are never locked into a certain place if your feelings3（sudden）change.There's no magic way to plan a route（路线）, whether it's through a city or a country. Simply move forward in a continuous route and avoid doubling back. That way you can keep your transportation costs down and you know4you're going, but your planis5（flexibility）enough that you can stay in your destination or leave sooner if you choose.The one thing that every traveler will tell you6（be）that unexpected things happen on the road, affecting the best-planned travel（from breaking your leg or losing your camera,7staying somewhere new with people you've just met）.
