The Google Science Fair is intended for ______．A. studentsB. doctorsC. inventorsD. scientistsCPalaces are known for their beauty and splendor ， but they offer little protection against attacks． It is easy to defend a large building， but usually these buildings are not designed with the comfort of a king in mind ． When it comes to structures that are both beautiful and defensive ， the European castle is a big success．Castles were originally built in England by the Normans in 1066 ． They built towers and walls to secure the land they had taken． These castles provided the Normans with a quiet and safe place． They also served as bases of operation for attacks． In this way castles served both defensive and offensive roles ． Besides， castles served as offices for governors． Those that were socially beneath the governor would come to report affairs and express theirrespect． They would address problems ， handle business， feast， and enjoy festivities in castles． So castles served as social centers as well．The first castles were made from earth and wood ， and they were likely to suffer from attacks by fire ． Then wooden castles were gradually replaced by stone， which greatly increased the strength of these towers and walls ． However ， attackers could throw flaming objects into castles through the windows or burn the wooden doors ． This led to moving the windows and entrances off of the ground floor and up to the first floor to make them more difficult toaccess ． During the Middle Ages ， attacks increased in regularity ， so castle defenses were updated． Arrow-slits were added ． They were small holes in the castle ， which allowed defenders to fire without being hurt ． Towers were built from which defenders could provide fire on both sides． The towers were connected to the castle by wooden bridges， so that if one tower fell ， the rest of the castle was still easy to defend ． A lot of rings of castle walls were constructed， so that even if attackers went past one wall ， they would be caught on a killing ground between inner and outer walls ． All of these increased the defense of castles．The end of castles can be attributed to gunpowder． During the 15th century ， artillery ， a kind of large guns， became powerful enough to break through stone walls． This greatly made the role of castles less effective ． Though castles no longer serve their original purposes ，remaining castles receive millions of visitors each year who wish to experience the situations of ancient times ．8.What was the original function of castles according to the passage ？ ______A.They served as tourist attractions ．B.They were important social centers ．C.They marked religious ceremonies ．D.They were built for use in emergencies ．9.The reason why wooden castles were replaced by stone castles was that ______ ．A.stone castles cost less moneyB.stone castles offered better defenseC.wooden castles were uncomfortableD.wooden castles took a long time to build10.Which of the following showed an improvement in castle defenses ？ ______A.Castles were totally separated by stones．B.Arrow-slits were made in large quantities ．C.Rings of walls were built to defend the towers ．D.Windows and entrances were moved to the higher floor ．11.What is the best title of the passage？ ______A.Fancy Living ： Learning about CastlesB.Normans： Bringing Castles to EnglandC. A History of Castles：The Rise and Fall of CastlesD. Defending Castles：Technologies Used to Defend CastlesDMaths and Music An excellent way to kill a conversation is to say you are amathematician ． Tell others you are also a musician ， however， and they will behooked ． Although there are obvious similarities between mathematical and musical activity ，there is no direct evidence for the kind of magical connection many people seem to believe in ．I'm partly referring here to the "Mozart effect" ，where children who have been played Mozart compositions are supposedly more intelligent ，including at maths ，than other children ． It is not hard to see why such a theory would be popular ： we would all like to become better atmaths without putting in any effort ． But the conclusions of the experiment that expressed the belief in the Mozart effect were much more modest ． If you want your brain to work better ，you clearly have to put in hard work ． As for learning to play the piano ， it also takeseffort． Surely a connection is quite reasonable． Both maths and music deal with abstract structures， so if you become good at one ， then it is likely that you become good at something more general that helps you with the other． If this is correct ， it would show a connection betweenmathematical and musical ability ． It would be more like the connection between abilities at football and tennis ． To become better at one， you need to improve your fitness and coordination （协调）．That makes you better at sport and probably helps with the other ． Abstract structures don't exist only in maths and music ． If you learn a language then you need to understand its abstract structures like grammar ． Yet we don't hear people asking about aconnection between mathematical and linguistic （语言的） ability ． Maybe this is because grammar feels mathematical ， so it wouldn't be surprising that mathematicians were better at learning grammar ． Music ， however， is strongly tied up with feelings and can be enjoyed even by people who know little about it ． As such， it seems different from maths ， so there wouldn't be any connection between the two ．Let's see how we solve problems of the "A is to B as C is to D"kind ． These appear in intelligence tests but they are also central to both music and maths ． Consider the opening of Mozart's Eine Kleine Nachtmusik （小夜曲）． The second phrase is a clear answer to thefirst ． The listener thinks ： "The first phrase goes upward and uses the notes of a G major chord （和弦）； what would be the corresponding phrase that goes downward and uses the notes ofa D7 ？" Music is full of puzzles like this ． If you are good at them ， expectations will constantly be set up in your mind ． The best moments surprise you by being unexpected， but we need the expectations in the first place ．12.What does the author say about "Mozart effect" ？ ______A.The goal of it was not carefully thought about ．B.The interest people showed in it was unexpected ．C.The way it was carried out proved to be ineffective ．D. The findings from it gave people wrong information．13. The author mentioned football and tennis in Paragraph 3 to show that ______．A.music and maths have something in commonB.football and tennis are played in a similar wayC.certain skills may be developed through practicenguage is less attractive to learnersB.mathematicians are good at music learning第4页，共 20页C. language seems more like maths than music doesD. the structure of language is easier to learn than that of music15.

Dear Sir,I am writing to express my concern about the plans to build a motorway near our village.Haldersham is one of the loveliest villages in England. It is peaceful and quiet, and it is situated in a very attractive valley. There are also several beautiful countryside walks in the surroundings, with a view of many rare trees and plants.Most of the people who live in Haldersham have moved here from other places, often from London and other big cities. They have bought houses here to livein a place far away from the noise and the stress of the big city. They paid a lot of money for their houses, but they knew they would get a high quality of life for it.If the planned motorway is built, life in Haldersham will change greatly. There will be a lot of noise around us, and nobody will want to go on the walks. House prices will certainly go down, because nobody will want to buy houses in a place close to a motorway. Haldersham will become an ugly place.I don’t think any of the people living in this beautiful village want that, and we all believe exposure to noise pollution can have a direct influence on our health. So, let’s all tell the politicians who support the motorway planswhat we think about them!Yours faithfully,Hilary Riley1.Many people move to Haldersham because ________ .A. it has a good environmentB. it is not far away from big citiesC. they want to be a help to the villageD. they prefer to study rare plants in this area2.According to Hilary Riley, a motorway will ________ .A. cause high house pricesB. bring people stressC. provide a convenient lifeD. affect the quality of life3.What’s the purpose of the letter?A. To give an introduction of Haldersham.B. To show grateful thanks to the politicians.C. To express disapproval about the motorway.D. To offer suggestions on building the motorway.18. Most of us have gone away from “mad men” in the street, only to realize that they are in fact using a Bluetooth headset. Now a new University of Pennsylvania study shows that muttering can actually help people find lost objects—in other words, saying the name of an object helps you find it more quickly.Previous work has suggested that speaking aloud while performing step-by-step tasks, like tying shoelaces (鞋带), can help kids guide their behavior and let them focus on the job in hand. However, scientists were not sure if speaking aloud when performing tasks could help adults in the same way, especially when looking for particular objects. Professor Gary Lupan and Daniel Swingley, writing for the Quarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology , carried out some experiments. They hoped to give the fact that next time you lose your keys, muttering “keys, keys, keys” can in fact help you find them.Inspired by viewing people muttering to themselves as they try to find things like peanut butter in a supermarket, the researchers conducted two experiments to see if this actually worked. In the first, participants were shown 20 pictures of various objects and were asked to find a certain one, with some seeing a text label (标签) telling them what they were looking for. These participants were then asked to search for the object again while saying the word to themselves, with results showing that saying it aloud helped peoplefind the object more quickly.The second experiment saw participants performing a shopping task, where they were shown photographs of items (物品) commonly found on supermarket shelves. They were asked to find all examples of a particular item, so if they were asked for apples they had to find all the bags of apples, as quickly as possible. The researchers found that there was also an advantage in saying the name of the product aloud when they were searching for something familiar.The University of Pennsylvania study shows that muttering can actually help people reach the target object—in other words, muttering to oneself helps to focus the mind on something. It works more effectively than seeing a written description. Repeating the word over and over again helps even more.1.The second paragraph tells us that ________ .A. muttering helps people to control their behaviorB. muttering has the same effect on both kids and adultsC. it is really hard to carry out the experiments on adultsD. it is easier for kids to do step-by-step tasks by muttering2.According to the passage, muttering can help people in a way that________ .A. it completely controls people’s mindB. it directly explains people’s behaviorC. they concentrate more on their job at handD. they reduce their pressure from their mind3.The two experiments mentioned in the passage show that ________ .A. participants were better at doing the shopping taskB. it took the participants the same time to find the objectsC. showing pictures of the items helped find them more quicklyD. participants saying aloud the word found the object more quickly4.What is the best title of the passage?A. Effects of MutteringB. How to Find Lost ObjectsC. What to Mutter to YourselfD. Methods of Remembering Objects19. Why I’ve taken a break from holidaysIt is now close to four years since I last took a holiday. This is because I have come to the conclusion, over the course of my adult life, that I am not very good at it. You might think this sounds like saying you’re not very good at drinking tea or listening to music. What could possibly be difficult about the natural act of putting your working life on hold for a couple of weeks andgoing somewhere warm to do nothing?I was a model holidaymaker as a kid. However, the problems started during my twenties. A trip to the south of France was ended after just two days, mainly because I had an urge to check my e-mails. Similarly, my honeymoon was cutshort by 48 hours—not because my wife and I weren’t enjoying ourselves, but because we were missing our cats.So what is my problem? On the surface, I’m probably a bit of a homebody. And I just find the pressure of being on holiday too severe: it always feels like having a gun held to my head and being forced to have fun. Somehow, packing a list of possessions and meeting a scheduled flight has none of the excitementof suddenly deciding to take a day off and driving somewhere for the fun of it. Thankfully, I’m not alone. This summer, most of my friends have decided notto have a break. And a recent survey (调查) proved the downside of holidays, with the results showing that nearly two thirds of people found that the calming effects of a holiday wore off within 24 hours, as stress levelsreturned to normal. And this year The Idler magazine published its Book of Awful Holidays . Here you will find a list of the five most ecologically-damaging vacations it’s possible to take, along with 50 painful holiday experiences voted for on The Idler website.What interests me is what the concept of a “holiday” sa ys about our lives. For me, the point of living is to have a life you enjoy for 52 weeks a year. The more I like my life and the better I structure it, the less I want to go away. Maybe I’m an unusual person for not liking holidays, but I just feelthe tim e when I’m not working is too valuable to waste on them.1.The events the author describes in the second paragraph show ________ .A. how hard he has tried to enjoy holidaysB. how badly he behaves when he is on holidayC. his lack of enthusiasm for being on holidayD. his fear of something bad when he is on holiday2.What does the author think of holidays?A. They are often well organized in order to please other people.B. He feels embarrassed when other people are having fun but he isn’t.C. He tends to be made responsible for too much of the organization of them.D. They are less enjoyable than breaks that have not been planned in advance.3.The underlined word “downside” in the fourth paragraph probably means________ .A. absenceB. damageC. disadvantageD. conflict4.What is the author’s attitude towards “taking a holiday”?A. Disapproving.B. Supportive.C. Neutral.D. Unconcerned.四、七选五20. Recycling is very important and necessary in today’s world. The most important reason for this is that human progress and industry have made it possible for people to have lots of things, and when people have many material possessions, they are bound to throw some of them away. ___1.___Recycling is a way for us to keep the world clean as items are broken down and used again, preventing the littering of the environment. Instead of throwing all your garbage into the dustbin, you should separate paper, metal, glass, and plastic into different containers. ___2. _ They can be turned into valuable compost, which is the perfect plant food and soil disease fighter.___3. ___ You can see if an item has been made from recycled materials by its label. If it’s been recycled, it will say so. Also instead of always buying new clothes, you can arrange to have a clothing exchange with your friends. You bring clothes you don’t want and pick items you want from what other people have brought. Not only does this save the environment, but it also saves your money. ___4. ___ This saying can be applied to all sorts of things: books, CDs, furniture, etc. Also try shopping at second-hand stores, because they often have lots of items still in good shape for you to choose.Many countries have made it easy for people to recycle, as alongside the normal garbage trucks, special garbage trucks come and pick up recyclables. However, in some countries the responsibility is left up to the ordinary people to recycle. ___5. __ Recycling represents just one way in which we can help the environment. But it is an effective one and one that we can actively influence.A. Fallen leaves can also be recycled.B. Having too many things causes a lot of garbage.C. You should try to buy products that have been recycled.D. Products made with recycled materials are as good as new products.E. This creates a lot of garbage which in turn destroys the environment.F. Remember, what is one person’s unwanted object can be someone else’s treasure!G. Therefore, it needs attention in society so we can continue to make our environment livable.五、书面表达21. 假设你是红星中学高三一班的学生李华。

Olivia’s method is to ask patients to put their saliva (唾液) onto a testing card. The card changes color if the person is catching Ebloa. Present Ebloa tests take up to 12 hours and cost $1,000. Olivia’s method, however, can be done just in 30 minutes for about $25. Besides, the sample (样本) doesn’t have to be put in a refrigerator thanks to the silk material Olivia uses to produce the testing cards.Olivia was inspired to deal with this global problem after watching the news that more than 10,000 people died from Ebola in West Africa. She was particularly worried about the fact that, while the acts of involvement can improve survival rates, present detection methods are costly, time-consuming and require complex tools. Olivia got help from her science research teacher. She drew out directions from past research, and figured out detection systems that have proven to work with other diseases, including Lyme disease and yellow fever.“What affects one country affects everyone,” Olivia told CNBC. “We have to work together to find answers to the huge challenges which cause harm to the global health.”The Connecticut’s teen, who hopes to become a doctor one day, was named the Google Science Fair winner in the competition of 20 competitors from across the globe. The fair is open to young people between the ages of 13 and 18 in most countries.Olivia hopes her success will inspire other girls interested in science and computers. “I would just encourage girls to try it in the beginning, and remind them that they don’t have to feel naturally drawn or feel like they have a special talent for maths or science,” she told CNBC, “but just really look at something they are interested in and then think how to improve something or make it more enjoyable or relate it to the ir interests.”34. According to the passage, present Ebola detection methods ______.A. must use a large amount of samplesB. may detect other deadly viruses as wellC. have proven to be ineffective in practiceD. require samples to be kept in refrigerators35. What can we learn about Olivia’s method?A. Time-consuming.B. Cheap.C. Complex.D. Out-of-date.36. What does the underlined word “drawn” in Paragraph 5 probably mean？A. Attracted.B. Controlled.C. Admitted.D. Exposed.37. The Google Science Fair is intended for ______.A. studentsB. doctorsC. inventorsD. scientistsCPalaces are known for their beauty and splendor, but they offer little protection against attacks. It is easy to defend a large building, but usually these buildings are not designed with the comfort of a king in mind. When it comes to structures that are both beautiful and defensive, the European castle is a big success.Castles were originally built in England by the Normans in 1066. They built towers and walls to secure the land they had taken. These castles provided the Normans with a quiet and safe place. They also served as bases of operation for attacks. In this way castles served both defensive and offensive roles. Besides, castles served as offices for governors. Those that were socially beneath the governor would come to report affairs and express their respect. They would address problems, handle business, feast, and enjoy festivities in castles. So castles served as social centers as well.The first castles were made from earth and wood, and they were likely to suffer from attacks by fire. Then wooden castles were gradually replaced by stone, which greatly increased the strength of these towers and walls. However, attackers could throw flaming objects into castles through the windows or burn the wooden doors. This led to moving the windows and entrances off of the ground floor and up to the first floor to make them more difficult to access.During the Middle Ages, attacks increased in regularity, so castle defenses were updated. Arrow-slits were added. They were small holes in the castle, which allowed defenders to fire without being hurt. Towers were built from which defenders could provide fire on both sides. The towers were connected to the castle by wooden bridges, so that if one tower fell, the rest of the castle was still easy to defend. A lot of rings of castle walls were constructed, so that even if attackers went past one wall, they would be caught on a killing ground between inner and outer walls. All of these increased the defense of castles.The end of castles can be attributed to gunpowder. During the 15th century, artillery, a kind of large guns, became powerful enough to break through stone walls. This greatly made the role of castles less effective. Though castles no longer serve their original purposes, remaining castles receive millions of visitors each year who wish to experience the situations of ancient times.38. What was the original function of castles according to the passage?A. They served as tourist attractions.B. They were important social centers.C. They marked religious ceremonies.D. They were built for use in emergencies.39. The reason why wooden castles were replaced by stone castles was that ______.A. stone castles cost less moneyB. stone castles offered better defenseC. wooden castles were uncomfortableD. wooden castles took a long time to build40. Which of the following showed an improvement in castle defenses?A. Castles were totally separated by stones.B. Arrow-slits were made in large quantities.C. Rings of walls were built to defend the towers.D. Windows and entrances were moved to the higher floor.41. What is the best title of the passage?A. Fancy Living: Learning about CastlesB. Normans: Bringing Castles to EnglandC. A History of Castles: The Rise and Fall of CastlesD. Defending Castles: Technologies Used to Defend CastlesDMaths and MusicAn excellent way to kill a conversation is to say you are a mathematician. Tell others you are also a musician, however, and they will be hooked. Although there are obvious similarities between mathematical and musical activity, there is no direct evidence for the kind of magical connection many people seem to believe in.I’m partly referring here to the “Mozart effect”, where children who have been played Mozart compositions are supposedly more intelligent, including at maths, than other children. It is not hard to see why such a theory would be popular: we would all like to become better at maths without putting in any effort. But the conclusions of the experiment that expressed the belief in the Mozart effect were much more modest. If you want your brain to work better, you clearly have to put in hard work. As for learning to play the piano, it also takes effort.Surely a connection is quite reasonable. Both maths and music deal with abstract structures, so if you become good at one, then it is likely that you become good at something more general that helps you with the other. If this is correct, it would show a connection between mathematical and musical ability. It would be more like the connection between abilities at football and tennis. To become better at one, you need to improve your fitness and coordination (协调). That makes you better at sport and probably helps with the other.Abstract structures don’t exist only in maths and music. If you learn a language then you need to understand its abstract structures like grammar. Yet we don’t hear people asking about a connection between mathematical and linguistic (语言的) ability. Maybe this is because grammar feels mathematical, so it wouldn’t be surprising that mathematicians were better at learning grammar. Music, however, is strongly tied up with feelings and can be enjoyed even by people who know little about it. As such, it seems different from maths, so there wouldn’t be any connection between the two.Let’s see how we solve problems of the “A is to B as C is to D”kind. These appear in intelligence tests but they are also central to both music and maths. Consider the opening of Mozart’s Eine Kleine Nachtmusik (小夜曲).The second phrase is a clear answer to the first. The listener thinks: “The first phrase goes upward and uses the notes of a G major chord (和弦); what would be the corresponding phrase that goes downward and uses the notes of a D7?” Music is full of puzzles like this. If you are good at them, expectations will constantly be set up in your mind. The best moments surprise you by being unexpected, but we need the expectations in the first place.42. What does the author say about “Mozart effect”？A. The goal of it was not carefully thought about.B. The interest people showed in it was unexpected.C. The way it was carried out proved to be ineffective.D. The findings from it gave people wrong information.43. The author mentioned football and tennis in Paragraph 3 to show that ______.A. music and maths have something in commonB. football and tennis are played in a similar wayC. certain skills may be developed through practiceD. abstract structures bring benefits to various fields44. We can infer from Paragraph 4 that ______.A. language is less attractive to learnersB. mathematicians are good at music learningnguage seems more like maths than music doesD. the structure of language is easier to learn than that of music45. What is the writer’s main purpose in the last paragraph?A. To prove how music finally differs from maths.B. To describe the mathematical processes musicians may have.C. To show how abstract thinking applies to both music and maths.D. To explain why Mozart is so highly considered by mathematicians.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，共10分）Gardening 380 Kilometers above EarthAstronauts have to go through physical, psychological, and technical training. They also go through training in how to care for plants. These “astronaut gardeners” share their work and living space with plants.Taking seeds and plants along on a trip isn’t a new idea. As space trips become longer, it will be necessary to grow food in space. ___46___ Because of this, it’s not practical to send everything needed for a long journey, only to be used once and thrown away.Plants can serve many uses on a space journey. They can provide more fresh things. ___47___ Also, plants can help to make air quality better because they produce oxygen. They can improve the quality of the air inside the spacecraft—the only air the astronauts can breathe.___48___ Due to the lack of gravity in space, the oxygen that the plants produce stays around the plants. This can actually kill them, so fans are needed to circulate the air. Without gravity, roots don’t “know” to grow down, leaves don’t “know” to grow up, and water doesn’t easily travel up the roots to the leaves. ___49___ Besides, soil is too heavy to send to space, and special liquid gels (胶) are used to help plant growth.Scientists are also working on the plants themselves. They are trying to make plants grow more rapidly and grow with less water and light in space, and they are looking for ways to make plants more resistant to disease. ___50___ Imagine that deserts may one day provide lots of fresh food for local people, saving transportation costs. Similarly, plants that are resistant to disease could provide an important food supply. With the world’s population now at seven billion (十亿) people, our astronaut gardeners may help discover ways to feed those billions.A. Every plant grown in space must have several uses.B. However, there are challenges with growing plants in space.C. Such methods may result in improvements back here on Earth.D. The cost of taking anything into space is about $22,000 per kilogram.E. Specialized containers are being developed to help the plants grow correctly.F. Astronauts will welcome the addition of fruits and vegetables to their diet of dry foods.G. Currently all oxygen is taken aboard in tanks and then caught again so it can be reused.第三部分：书面表达（共两节，35分）第一节（15分）假设你是红星中学高三学生李华，准备加入学校的一个学生社团。

Last weekend, I accompanied two exchange students to the Great Wall, which proved to be a very pleasant trip.
Early on Saturday morning, we got on the bus happily. Everyone was excited, discussing what we had known about the Great Wall, including anecdotes and legends. Two hours later we got to our destination, and everyone couldn’t wait to start climbing. We spent the next few hours on the Great Wall, stopping from time to time to take photos and appreciate its magnificence as well as the breathtaking scenery around it. Then we went to the Great Wall Museum nearby. It contains exhibitions showing the history of the Great Wall and the social landscape along it, from which we got a better understanding of the Great Wall. Time passed quickly! It was noon before we knew it. Before leaving, we took a group selfie to record this unforgettable moment. Excitement was written on everyone’s face.
