2019年普通高等学校招生全国统一考试（全国卷II）英语第二部分阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）My Favourite BooksJo Usmar is a writer for Cosmopolitan and co-author of the This Book Will series (系列) of lifestyle books. Here she picks her top reads.MatildaRoald DahlI once wrote a paper on the influence of fairy tales on Roald Dahl’s writing and it gave me a new appreciation for his strange and delightful worlds. Matilda’s battles with her cruel parents and the bossy headmistr ess, Miss Trunchbull, are equally funny and frightening, but they’re also aspirational.After DarkHaruki MurakamiIt’s about two sisters —Eri, a model who either won’t or can’t stop sleeping, and Mari, a young student. In trying to connect to her sister. Mari starts changing her life and discovers a world of diverse “night people” who are hiding secrets.Gone GirlGillian FynnThere was a bit of me that didn’t want to love this when everyone else on the planet did, but the horror story is brilliant. There’s tension and anxiety from the beginning as Nick and Amy battle for your trust. It’s a real whodunit and the frustration when you realise what’s going on is horribly enjoyable.The StandStephen KingThis is an excellent fantasy novel from one of the best storytellers around. After a serious flu outbreak wipes out 99.4% of the world’s population, a battle unfolds between good and evil among those left. Randall Flagg is one of the scariest characters ever.21. Who does “I” refer to in the text?A. Stephen King.B. Gillian Flynn.C. Jo Usmar.D. Roald Dahl.22. Which of the following tells about Mari and Eri?A. Cosmopolitan.B. Matilda.C. After Dark.D. The Stand.23. What kind of book is Gone Girl?A. A folk tale.B. A biography.C. A love story.D. A horror story.B“You can use me as a last resort (选择), and if nobody else volunteers, then I will do it.” This was an actual reply from a parent after I put out a request for volunteers for my kids’ lacrosse (长曲棍球) club.I guess that there’s probably some demanding work schedule, or social anxiety around stepping up to help for an unknown sport. She may just need a little persuading. So I try again and tug at the heartstrings. I mention the single parent with four kids running the show and I talk about the dad coaching a team that his kids aren’t even on… At this point the unwilling parent speaks up, “Alright. Yes, I’ll do it.”I’m secretly relieved because I know there’s real power in sharing volunteer responsibilities among many. The unwilling parent organizes the meal schedule, sends out emails, and collects money for end-of-season gifts. Somewhere along the way, the same parent ends up becoming an invaluable member ofthe team. The coach is able to focus on the kids while the other parents are relieved to be off the hook for another season. Handing out sliced oranges to bloodthirsty kids can be as exciting as watching your own kid score a goal.Still, most of us volunteers breathe a sigh of relief when the season comes to a close. That relief is coupled with a deep understanding of why the same people keep coming back for more: Connecting to the community (社区) as you freely give your time, money, skills, or services provides a real joy. Volunteering just feels so good.In that sense, I’m pretty sure volunteering is more of a selfish act than I’d freely like to admit. However, if others benefit in the process, and I get some reward too, does it really matter where my motivation lies?24. What can we infer about the parent from her reply in paragraph 1?A. She knows little about the club.B. She isn’t good at sports.C. She just doesn’t want to volunteer.D. She’s unabl e to meet her schedule.25. What does the underlined phrase “tug at the heartstrings” in paragraph 2 mean?A. Encourage teamwork.B. Appeal to feelings.C. Promote good deeds.D. Provide advice.26. What can we learn about the parent from paragraph 3?A. She gets interested in lacrosse.B. She is proud of her kids.C. She’ll work for another season.D. She becomes a good helper.27. Why does the author like doing volunteer work?A. It gives her a sense of duty.B. It makes her very happy.C. It enables her to work hard.D. It brings her material rewards.CMarian Bechtel sits at West Palm Beach’s Bar Louie counter by herself, quietly reading her e-book as she waits for her salad. What is she reading? None of your business! Lunch is Bechtel’s “me” time. And like more Americans, she’s not alone.A new report found 46 percent of meals are eaten alone in America. More than half (53 percent) have breakfast alone and nearly half (46 percent) have lunch by themselves. Only at dinnertime are we eating together anymore, 74 percent, according to statistics from the report.“I prefer to go out and be out. Alone, but together, you know?” Bechtel said, looking up from her book. Bechtel, who works in downtown West Palm Beach, has lunch with coworkers sometimes, but like many of us, too often works through lunch at her desk. A lunchtime escape allows her to keep a boss from tapping her on the shoulder. She returns to work feeling energized. “Today, I just wanted some time to myself,” she said.Just two seats over, Andrew Mazoleny, a local videographer, is finishing his lunch at the bar. He likes that he can sit and check his phone in peace or chat up the barkeeper with whom he’s on a first-name basis if he wants to have a little interaction (交流). “I reflect on how my day’s go ne and think about the rest of the week,” he said. “It’s a chance for self-reflection, You return to work recharged and with a plan.”That freedom to choose is one reason more people like to eat alone. There was a time when people may have felt awkward about asking for a table for one, but those days are over. Now, we have our smartphones to keep us company at the table. “It doesn’t feel as alone as it may have before all the advances in technology,” said Laurie Demeritt, whose company provided the statisti cs for the report.28. What are the statistics in paragraph 2 about?A. Food variety.B. Eating habits.C. Table manners.D. Restaurant service.29. Why does Bechtel prefer to go out for lunch?A. To meet with her coworkers.B. To catch up with her work.C. To have some time on her own.D. To collect data for her report.30. What do we know about Mazoleny?A. He makes videos for the bar.B. He’s fond of the food at the bar.C. He interviews customers at the bar.D. He’s familiar with the barkeep er.31. What is the text mainly about?A. The trend of having meals alone.B. The importance of self-reflection.C. The stress from working overtime.D. The advantage of wireless technology.DBacteria are an annoying problem for astronauts. The microorganisms (微生物) from our bodies grow uncontrollably on surfaces of the International Space Station, so astronauts spend hours cleaning them up each week. How is NASA overcoming this very tiny big problem? It’s turning to a bunch of high school kids. But not just any kids. It is depending on NASA HUNCH high school classrooms, like the one science teachers Gene Gordon and Donna Himmelberg lead at Fairport High School in Fairport, New York.HUNCH is designed to connect high school classrooms with NASA engineers. For the past two years, Gordon’s students have been studying ways to kill bacteria in zero gravity, and they think they’re close to a solution (解决方案). “We don’t give the students any breaks. They have to do it just like NASA engineers,” says Florence Gold, a project manager.“There are no tests,” Gordon says. “There is no graded homework. There almost are no grades, other than ‘Are you working towards your goal?’ Basically, it’s ‘I’ve got to produce this product and then, at theend of the year, pre sent it to NASA.’ Engineers come and really do an in-person review, and…it’s not a very nice thing at times. It’s a hard business review of your product.”Gordon says the HUNCH program has an impact (影响) on college admissions and practical life skills. “These kids are so absorbed in their studies that I just sit back. I don’t teach.” And that annoying bacteria? Gordon says his students are emailing daily with NASA engineers about the problem, readying a workable solution to test in space.32. What do we know about the bacteria in the International Space Station?A. They are hard to get rid of.B. They lead to air pollution.C. They appear in different forms.D. They damage the instruments.33. What is the purpose of the HUNCH program?A. To strengthen teacher-student relationships.B. To sharpen students’ communication skills.C. To allow students to experience zero gravity.D. To link space technology with school education.34. What do the NASA engineers do for the students in the program?A. Check their product.B. Guide project designs.C. Adjust work schedules.D. Grade their homework.35. What is the best title for the text?A. NASA: The Home of AstronautsB. Space: The Final Homework FrontierC. Nature: An Outdoor ClassroomD. HUNCH: A College Admission Reform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。

A 2018 statistic shows that women nowadays hold just 5.8 percent of CEOs positions at S&P 500 companies, according to Catalyst.While i t’s not a huge shock that women are somewhat underrepresented in leadership positions, what is surprising though, is the fact that females may actually be better suited to lead in almost every area, at least according to new findings from the BI Norwegian Business School.In their research, Professor Martinsen and Professor Lars Glas surveyed (调查) 2,900 managers with a special focus on personality types. The results were clear: Women scored higher than men in four of the five major leadership-centric categories.While some people believe that men inherently make better leaders — probably because they picture a leader with a commanding voice, which is more typical of men than women — this piece of research suggests that women are better at methodical management and goal-setting, openness, sociability and supportiveness, as well as ability to communicate clearly.There was one area in which men scored higher than women, though, and that was on emotional stability and ability to face job-related pressure and stress. The results suggest that women are more sensitive to the effects of high-pressure or highly emotional situations.Obviously, it’s important to consider individual(个人的) differences. Anyone, regardless of gender, may be an inspiring leader and a competen t boss. So next time you’re hiring for a management position, you just might want to give the resumes(简历) from female candidates a harder look.1.What makes us shocked much at leadership positions?A.Women are worse than men.B.Men take almost all high positions.C.There is a huge gap between genders.D.Women might behave better in every field.2.Which of the following can best replace the underlined word ‘‘inherently” in paragraph 4?A.properlyB.potentiallyC.naturallyD.normally3.Which of the following may be the best title of this text?A.How We Can Figure Out The Boss.B.Why Women Are Better Than MenC.Why Women Make Better BossesD.How We Can Tell Gender Difference4.Who might have special interest in this article?A.Job hunters.B.Employers.C.Employees.D.University students.3、On a February afternoon in a classroom, Taylor came face to face with a cow-but it was all in her head.A virtual(虚拟的)reality headset had transported her and her classmates to a farm 250 miles away and for them, the technology means field trips are no longer limited by a bus ride.On any given day, students nationwide walk through fields, dive into deep sea, and observe medical operations by using such headset. It's another way to attract the iPhone generation of students and improve their understanding and their grades.Richard Lamb is a scientist working at Buffalo Science Lab. In the lab, the physical effects of virtual reality become clear as participants experience motion (运动) sickness without m oving. “Some of the research we’re doing has shown that what you experience in virtual reality has very similar responses that you would get if you were doing the actual activity, ” Lamb said.It's unknown how many classrooms have or will adopt the technology, but experts say it's still relatively rare. While individual headsets that require a user’s phone can cost as little as $20 or $30, systems and software for classes will cost thousands of dollars. Early complaints about a lack of good software are fading as more companies enter the market, but the rules for use haven't necessarily caught up with the technology.In New York, virtual lab experiments don’t count toward the state's hands-on lab time requirements. Even so, the sciences are an area w here virtual reality holds particular promise for classrooms. “The big gest impediment is going to be the quality of that experience, and that means how closely it mimics (模仿) the physical world, ” said David Evans, a scientist. “ Doing dangerous things and running into a lot more cases represent a huge learning opportunity.”Lamb agree d. “Too often in schools, when we do things in labs, you mix things together and you get this outcome. And if you don't get that outcome, you did something wrong, but we d on't have enough resources for you to redo it,” he said. “In virtual reality, all I do is on the computer. I don’t have to actually use chemicals.”1.What does a virtual reality headset really help the students do?A.Take some exercise.B.Perform an operation.C.Go for a bus ride.D.Have different experiences.2.The technology is rarely used in classrooms mainly because ________.A.students show little interest in itB.it's too expensive for users to afford itC.supporting software is inaccessible yetD.it's inconvenient to be operated by students3.Which word can replace the underlined wor d “impediment” in Paragraph 5?A.Opportunity.B.Difficulty.C.Surprise.D.Disappointment.4.Which of the following statements do both Lamb and Evans agree with?A.This technology can save students a lot of time.B.This technology is safe when used in experiments.C.This technology can enrich students' learning experiences.D.This technology can produce a better result in real life.4、No student of a foreign language needs to be told that grammar is complex. By changing the order of the words and by adding a range of auxiliary verbs (助动词) and suffixes (后缀), we can turn a statement into a question, state whether an action has taken place or is soon to take place, and perform many other word tricks to convey different meanings. However, the question which many language experts can’t understand and explain is—who created grammar?Some recent languages evolved due to the Atlantic slave trade. Since the slaves didn’t know each other’s languages, they developed a make-shift language called a pidgin. Pidgins are strings of words copied from the language of the landowners. They have little in the way of grammar, and speakers need to use too many words to make their meaning understood. Interestingly, however, all it takes for a pidgin to become a complex language is for a group of children to be exposed to it at the time when they learn their mother tongue. Slave children didn’t simply copy the strings of words used by their elders. They adapted their words to create an expressive language. In this way complex grammar systems which come from pidgins were invented.Further evidence can be seen in studying sign languages for the deaf. Sign languages are not simply a group of gestures; they use the same grammatical machinery that is found in spoken languages. The creation of one such language was documented quite recently in Nicaragua. Previously, although deaf children were taught speech and lip reading in the classrooms, in the playgrounds they began to invent their own sign system, using the gestures they used at home. It was basically a pidgin and there was no consistent grammar. However, a new system was born when children who joined the school later developed a quite different sign language. It was based on the signs of the older children, but it was shorter and easier to understand, and it had a large range of special use of grammar to clarify the meaning. What’s more, they all used the signs in the same way. So the original pidgin was greatly improved.Most experts believe that many of the languages were pidgins at first. They were initially used in different groups of people without standardization and gradually evolved into a widely accepted system. The English past tense—“ed” ending—may have evolved from the verb “do”. “It ended” may once have been “It end-did”. It seems that children havegrammatical machinery in their brains. Their minds can serve to create logical and complex structures, even when there is no grammar present for them to copy.1.What can be inferred about the slaves’ pidgin language?A.It was difficult to understand.B.It came from different languages.C.It was created by the landowners.D.It contained highly complex grammar.2.What is the characteristic of the new Nicaraguan sign language?A.No consistent signs were used for communication.B.Most of the gestures were made for everyday activities.C.The hand movements were smoother and more attractive.D.The meaning was clearer than the previous sign language.3.Which idea does the author present in the last paragraph?A.English grammar of past tense system is inaccurate.B.Children say English past tense differently from adults.C.The thought that English was once a pidgin is acceptable.D.Experts have proven that English was created by children.4.What is the best title for the passage?A.The Creators of GrammarB.The History of LanguagesC.Why Pidgins Came into BeingD.How Grammar Systems Are Used5、Some Ways to Increase Your Reading SpeedDo you have a lot of reading to do before class tomorrow? Here are some ways to help increase your reading speed.1. Stop the Inner SpeechOne’s inner monologue is an extremely common trait among readers.①__________ It is the biggest obstacle that gets in the way of you being able to increase your reading speed.2. Do Not Reread the Words on the PageYou most likely do this without even realizing that you are doing it, which makes it a bit of a difficult habit to break out of. ②__________ Keep your fingers running back and forth across the page, without stopping or going back.3. Set a GoalHolding yourself accountable will better ensure you stick with your reading and your timer tests. Give yourself a goal of a certain number of pages to read each day/week/etc. , and stick to it. When you reach it, treat yourself. ③__________4. Work on Improving Your VocabularyThink about it: You’re reading along,and then you run into a word you don’t know. Do you skip it?④__________ Do you stop to look it up? If you work on improving your vocabulary, you will know more words. The more words you add to your stock, the faster you read. The faster you read, the more you can read. It may be clear, but it's important.5. Skim the Main Points FirstFinally, when you're in a real time-crunch and need to get something read by tomorrow, take a deep breath and calm down. Open the book, and take some time reading over all the main points. Read the table of contents. Read the subtitles. Read the captions under the diagrams. ⑤__________A. Self-encouragement never hurts anyone!B. Do you try to figure it out by context?C. Your brain still processes information.D. Get an overall feel for the chapter.E. A reader should do more reading.F. The easiest way is to use your finger to guide you along.G. It is the process of speaking the words in your head as you read.6、阅读下面短文,从短文后所给各题的四个选项中,选出可填入空白处的最佳选项。

2019年浙江高三上学期高考模拟英语试卷(仿真训练卷(二))-学生用卷

2019年浙江高三上学期高考模拟英语试卷（仿真训练卷（二））-学生用卷一、阅读理解（共10小题，每小题2.5分，共25分）1、【来源】 2019年浙江高三上学期高考模拟（A篇）第21~23题7.5分Running a marathon is not easy. It takes hard work, practice, and patience. After all, to run a marathon, you have at run 26.2 miles by foot! Think about it this way: 26. 2 miles is the same as running the length of a football field more than460 times. It takes most people four or five hours to finish.By the age of 30, Lea Tambellini had run more than five marathons and had no plans to stop. She had always been an athlete. When she was in high school, she swam on her school's swim team and ran to stay healthy and active. Her mom and dad ran marathons, and when she was 22, they helped her train for her first marathon.Lea's first marathon took place in Cincinnati, Ohio, and was called "The Flying Pig". "I was very nervous" she said, "but I had my mom there, so that helped. "Running the race was hard, but the hardest part was when she ran past a cookie factory and smelled cookies at mile 18."I just wanted to be done, "she said. "TAL#NBSP I was spent, but my mom kept me going. It was already her 15th marathon."Today, thousands of people run marathons every year. Runners train for months to get ready. 'To prepare for one of the marathons, Lea ran four to five times every week. On weekdays, she completed shorter runs, five or six miles at most. But on the weekends she ran long distances-13 miles, 15 miles, and 20 miles!"I don't mind training because I get excited about working toward something. And I love running with a group of friends and working toward the goal together. But it does take a lot of time."Running a marathon is a great achievement. "It's a great feeling of accomplishment and nothing feels as wonderful as reaching my goal when I cross the finish line, " Lea explained."I can't wait for the next one!"(1) What contributed to Lea becoming a marathon runner?A. Her great patience and life ambition to be a successful athlete.B. Her strong interest in swimming and long-distance running.C. Her athletic experience and her parents' guidance.D. Her love for running with friends and achieving a goal together.(2) What does Lea mean by saying "I was spent" in Paragraph 3?A. I was extremely exhausted.B. I felt like quitting my sporting career.C. I was feeling increasingly nervous.D. I was overcome by hunger.(3) How did Lea's feeling of running a marathon change over they ears?A. From curiosity to enthusiasm.B. From nervousness to excitement.C. From thrill to boredom.D. From delight to disappointment.2、【来源】 2019年浙江高三上学期高考模拟（B篇）第24~27题10分2018年浙江绍兴柯桥区高三二模第27~30题10分(每题2.5分)Kids naturally need unstructured time to play, to discover their own interests, to goof around（混时间）, or to try things out. Some kids in our society have almost no time left to themselves, often because their parents are overscheduled themselves, or their parents are so concerned about kids' achievements that the kids are constantly doing some structured activities. Some parents want their kids to constantly be working on their personal portfolios（文件包） so they can get into college, prep school or preschool. But if kids don't have any down time, they'll burn out quickly.You'd be amazed at how much kids mature, learn and improve when they are given time to just be. Kids need to learn what it is like to be bored and how to entertain themselves. They need time to play with all of those presents they just got from the holiday. They need to make mistakes on their own, discover new ways to do things and nurture their interests and talents. This is called learning.In our house, eating, sleeping mostly）, and a few chores and schoolwork are fairly structured. There are occasional errands and playdates, appointments and scout meetings. But most days, our kids have several hours in which they choose what to do. We guide them toward positive ways to spend time, but for the most part, they get to choose. I think this is a healthy thing.I won't go so far as to say that parents who overschedule their kids are stealing their kids' childhoods. I'm sure those kids are getting to do some great things that not every other kid gets to do. But the kids are missing out on a vital piece of childhood: running amok （横冲直撞）, not necessarily running all over town on their own, but having time that is theirs, that they get to organize and fill. Kids need to learn how to make choices and learn about the bad and good consequences that come along with their choices.(1) Why are the kids constantly doing some structured activities?A. They like structured activities very much.B. Their parents expect them to achieve more.C. Their parents are worried about their safety.D. Structured activities suit children's interests.(2) Which of the following sayings can convey the closest meaning of the underlined sentence in the first paragraph?A. No pains, no gains.B. Look before you leap.C. Honesty is the best policy.D. All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.(3) In the writer's opinion, the kids.A. should be guided to learnB. should do some great thingsC. should have time that is theirsD. should be allowed to run all over town(4) The main purpose of the passage is to.A. concern the healthy growth of kidsB. provide evidence of how kids liveC. criticize parents on unwise parentingD. give a lecture on kids' time management3、【来源】 2019年浙江高三上学期高考模拟（C篇）第28~30题7.5分Do we organize our thoughts in different ways because of the culture we belong to? If it is so, how can we describe those differences?The idea of different "cultural thought patterns" was first put forward by an American professor, Robert Kaplan, in the 1960s. He had been looking at the writing style of non-native students at his university in California. He found that the writing style changed systematically, according to the cultural origins of the students.For example, in his opinion, native speakers of English usually went "straight to the point" However, speakers of Semitic languages（such as Arabic and He brew）kept back tracking, and then returned to the point. Speakers of oriental languages （such as Chinese）were likely to approach the topic only little by little, as if they were moving around it in circled. Speakers of Romance languages（such as French and Spanish）were likely to stay away from the point, making it harder for readers to follow. Speakers of slap languages（such as Russian）often included ideas which didn't seem to be connected in any way to the development of the article.This view attracted a lot of attention as soon as it was expressed. People said it was not based on enough evidence at all, and it was TAL#NBSP biased because it was in supports English（which seemed to offer the "most useful" way of presenting the point of view）. Russian students, in particular, did not agree with the idea Kaplan had of them.But Kaplan's work at least reminded us that people from different cultural backgrounds do have different ways of presenting ideas, or telling stories, and that, even if these differences are difficult, and perhaps impossible to sort out, just knowing that they exist can help us to understand and appreciate each other better.(1) What is the author' s purpose in writing Paragraph 2?A. To present his own idea.B. To introduce Robert Kaplan.C. To draw readers to the topic.D. To provide examples of the topic.(2) What does the underlined word "biased" in Paragraph 4 probably mean?A. Wrong.B. Usual.C. Direct.D. Humorous.(3) Which of the following is the best title for the text?A. Thinking across culturesB. Skills for speaking wellC. Reading between linesD. Differences in cultures.二、七选五（共5小题，每小题2分，共10分）4、【来源】 2019年浙江高三上学期高考模拟第31~35题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。

AIt’s no secret that your personal characteristics directly affect how you interact with the world-but you might be surprised at just how deep it goes. Experts think that your personality can even affect how you exercise and influence what sports are suitable for you.Highly SensitiveHighly sensitive people may be more uncomfortable with group exercise classes or team sports where they feel their every move is being observed. Additionally, they may feel more upset over an ineffective or poor workout, says researcher Elaine Aron.For such people, individual or non- competitive activities like biking, running and hiking are ideal.Type A PersonalityType A individuals often have an “all or nothing approach” to exercise. Th is personality type is known for sticking closely to their plan, not to mention being super competitive. However, this can cause them to stick too closely to a fitness routine, which means they might try to push past an injury.To get better exercise results, Type A people need to be aware that following an exercise plan too strictly may limit their progress. They should be more flexible and listen to their body, especially when they are in pain.Type B PersonalityThis laid-back group may get too lazy about their exercise plan, which prevents them from seeing results. They are often less willing to devote enough time and energy to their fitness goals, especially if exercise is something that makes them anxiousType B individuals succeed in creative and co-operative environments, so team sports and group gym classes may be perfect.Remember, there are plenty of ways you can adapt a fitness plan to suit your needs, regardless of your characteristics. Just keep in mind what you like.21. Why might highly sensitive people be unwilling to take part in group sports?A. They will feel like they are being evaluated.B. They don't like socialising with other people.C. They don't consider themselves to be athletic.D. They fear they'll be let down by their teammates.22. Type A personalities can be best described asA. committed B flexible C independent D. sensitive23. What is the purpose of the text?A. To help people understand what personality type they areB. To explain how personal characteristics affect exercise habitsC. To identify the dangers of doing the wrong type of exerciseD. To describe different types of workouts that are available todayBAt first sight, Alma Deutscher, a twelve-year-old girl from England appears to be like any other typical pre-teen. She loves to skip rope, read and play with her younger sister. But this modestyoungster, who composed her first musical work at age six, first short opera at age seven, and first full-length opera based on Cinderella at age ten, is anything but average. Though her parents downplay her extraordinary talent, young Alma is being described as “little Mozart” by the music worldAlma’s operatic take on the classic fairy tale, which she began writing at age eight, has a slight twist. Her Cinderella is a musician who meets her Prince Charming through a song. “I n my Cinderella, she sings the beginning of a ballad --- but at midnight she flees. Eventually, the prince finds her after asking all the maidens of the land to sing the end of the ballad.”The opera was first performed in Vienna, Australia on December 29, 2016, where the then eleven-year-old skillfully switched between the piano and the violin and receives enthusiastic reviews. The young genius has since performed two new piano works, once in Australia and the other in China.While this may appear to be a lot for someone so young, Alma is not worried. She says, “Of course I have to work hard. But all children have to work hard for exams, and at least when I work hard, I work hard for something incredibly exciting, like seeing my whole opera put on stage.Alma’s musical talent first came to light before she could even talk. Her parents recall that as an 18-month-old toddler, she was able to hum a pitch perfect version of the children’s rhyme Twinkle Twinkle Little Star.However, Alma’s abilities only gained international attention in 2012, after a family friend posted a video online comparing her to Mozart. The family was suddenly swamped with media requested and Alma became an overnight star, dubbed “little Mozart”. This nickname makes her parents unhappy because they believe it puts added pressure on the young girl. They would instead prefer her to be called “a composer and musician”.Alma does not want to be compared to the famous artist either, saying, “There was only one Mozart, and I prefer to be little Alma.” Regardless of what she calls herself, the twelve-year-old is changing the world of music forever!24. What do we know about Alma Deutscher?A. She comes from a famous musical family.B. She has shown great musical talent from a young age.C. She regularly performs the classical music of Mozart.D. She has adapted some famous works of classical music.25. How did Alma get to be widely known?A. Through an online videoB. By performing on televisionC. By putting on an operaD. Through her parents’ promotion26. What is Alma’s attitude towards her success?A. She is still unsatisfied with her performance.B. She is uncomfortable with so much pressure.C. She is modest about her musical achievementsD. She is proud to have become a professional musician.27. What can we infer about Alma’s parents?A. They are very well-educated people.B. They are protective of their daughter.C. They have pushed Alma to take up music.D. They have made a good life plan for Alma.CThe belief that new technologies are causing the death of work is the idea that never goes away. Despite evidence to the contrary, we still view technological change today as being more rapid and dramatic in its consequences for work than ever before. But this is nothing new. People have always viewed the technological changes that take place during their lives as the most dramatic and dangerous that ever happened in history.In the 1930s, the British economist(经济学家) John Maynard Keynes predicted the widespread use of electricity would produce a world where people spend most of their time doing nothing. In the United States during the 1960s, the government repeatedly investigates fears that automatic machines would permanently reduce the amount of work available. In 1988, one Australian historian claimed that at least a quarter of the workforce would be without jobs within 10 years because of computers.Of course, none of these disasters came to pass in the United Kingdom, the United States and Australia, or anywhere else.Yet today, we are seeing the return of these predictions, with some experts claiming the world of work is once more undergoing radical and unprecedented change. They argue that robots and other workplace technologies are causing a reduction in the total amount of work available, or are bringing a more rapid pace of substitution of machines for humans than has been seen previously.But there is a little evidence to support such beliefs. Statistics show that the percentage of people in work, the number of hours they work, and how frequently they change jobs have remained remarkably constant over the past 20 years.This stability should not come as a surprise. There are good reasons why we should not expect new technologies to cause the death of work. New technologies always cause job losses, but that is only part of the story. What also needs to be understood is how they increase the amount of work available.One way this happens is through the increases in incomes that accompany the use of new technologies. With the introduction of these technologies, good and services can be produced faster, which results in higher real incomes for workers. Higher incomes then increase demand for other products and consequently more workers are needed to make them. Additionally, while new technologies are likely to substitute for some types of workers, they will also increase demand for other types of workers, especially those with higher level skills and expertise.So, the end of work is no closer today than at any time in the past. But there is still a need to keep disproving the prediction, to reduce people's fears.28. What is the function of the second paragraph?A. To explain the importance of developing new technology.B. To show how technology affected employment in the past.C. To argue that technological dangers are becoming more serious.D. To give historical examples of unnecessary fear about new technology.29. How can employment statistics over the past 20 years best be described?A. ConfusingB. ReliableC. StableD. Variable30. According to paragraph 7, why does demand for products often increase after new technology is introduced?A. There are more goods for people to choose from.B. There is more demand for new skills in the economy.C. Productivity improvements help raise workers’ salaries.D. Higher quality goods at lower prices encourage consumption.31. What is the author’s opinion about the introduction of new technology?A. It does not have an e ffect on most people’s jobs.B. Its benefits are usually not worth the introduction.C. It usually leads to a significant increase in employment.D. Its danger to peoples employment possibilities is overstated.DSupermarket shelves are filled with plant-based alternatives to cow milk, including soy, nut, and coconut milk. These products are popular with consumers who cannot drink cows’ milk for health reasons, as well as with those concerned about animal welfare and environmental sustainability. While the dairy-free(非乳制的) options work well with cereal or in coffee, they fail miserably when it comes to making milk-based products like cheese or yogurt. However, these shortcomings may soon be a thing of the past, thanks to a new company in California, which has figured out how to create animal-free milk in a laboratory!Perumal Gandhi and Ryan Pandya founded the company in 2014 after becoming increasingly annoyed with the lack of cows’milk-free alternatives, particularly for cheese. For Gandhi, who stopped consuming animal products five years earlier due to environmental and animal welfare concerns, the motivation to create a better alternative stemmed from his love of cheesy pizza. Pandya was spurred into taking action after being forced to eat some “really bad” dairy-free cream cheese on his sandwichThe two MIT biomedical engineering scientists decided to join forces to create a more realistic alternative to dairy-based products. In their university lab, the pair spent nine months first isolating cow DNA then inserting it into yeast(酵母). This genetic modification enabled the yeast to produce the necessary milk proteins. The final step of the process involved mixing the proteins with some plant nutrients and fats.The dairy-free milk not only tastes like the real thing but is also healthier, has a longer shelf life and, most important of all, is Earth friendly. According to the company’s website, when compared toconventional milk production, their process uses 65% less energy, creates 84%o less greenhouse gas emissions and requires 91% less land and an amazing 98% less water! Best of all, since it contains real milk proteins, the product behaves like the cow-produced version, which means vegetarian consumers will no longer have to deal with soggy cheese on their sandwiches and pizzas.The company plans to bring their creation to market later this year and their first product will most likely be cheese since there are already numerous good cows’milk alternatives available to consumers.32. The underlined word "those" in paragraph 1 refers to_______.A. alternativesB. peopleC. productsD. reasons33. The company s founders were motivated to make the new product because of_______.A. their deep concern for the environmentB. their worry that farm animals were poorly treatedC the over-consumption of the dairy-based productsD. the poor taste of dairy-free cheese presently available34. What can be inferred from paragraph 4?A. The dairy-free products cannot be stored for a long time.B. The new products will taste better than dairy-based ones.C. Cow farming causes considerable environmental damage.D. The dairy-free milk will be more expensive than cow’s milk.35. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A. Healthier CheeseB. New Milk Saves PlanetC. Fresher Milk, Better FutureD. Making Milk without Cows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。

Do you mind if I take a photo with you?M: Not at all.Text 10W: Do you have trouble sleeping at night？Then maybe this is for you. When you worry about getting to sleep, keeping turning around and trying to find a comfortable position, you’re probably only making matters worse. What happens when you do that is that your heart rate actually increases, making it more difficult to relax.You may also have some bad habits that contribute to the problem. Do you rest frequently during the day？Do you get almost no exercise, or do you exercise too much late in the day？Do you sleep a lot or sleep late on weekends？Any of these facts might be leading to your sleeplessness by disturbing your body’s natural clock. What should you do then on those sleepless nights？Don’t bother with sleeping pills. They can actually make it worse later. The best thing to do is to drink milk or eat cheese or tuna fish. They are all rich in one kind of acid and help produce a chemical that causes sleep. This will help you relax, and you'll be on the way to get a good night’s sleep.。

There's tension and anxiety from the beginning as Nick and Amy battle for your trust. It's a real whodunit and the frustration when you realize what's going on is horribly enjoyable.The StandStephen KingThis is an excellent fantasy novel from one of the best storytellers around. After a serious flu outbreak wipes out 99.4% of the world's population, a battle unfolds between good and evil among those let. Randall Flagg is one of the scariest characters ever.1. Who does "I" refer to in the text?A. Stephen King.B. Gillian Flynn.C. Jo Usmar.D. Roald Dahl2. Which of the following tells about Mari and Eri?A. Cosmopolitan.B. Matilda.C. After Dark.D. The Stand.3. What kind of book is Gone Girl?A. A folk tale.B. A biography.C. A love story.D. A horror story.B"You can use me as a last resort(选择), and if nobody else volunteers, then I will do it." This was an actual reply from a parent after I put out a request for volunteers for my kids' lacrosse(长曲棍球) club.I guess that there's probably some demanding work schedule, or social anxiety around stepping up to help for an unknown sport. She may just need a little persuading. So I try again and tug at the heartstrings mention the single parent with four kids running the show and I talk about the dad coaching a team that his kids aren't even on... At this point the unwilling parent speaks up, "Alright. Yes, I'll do it."I'm secretly relieved because I know there's real power in sharing volunteer responsibilities among many. The unwilling parent organizes the meal schedule, sends out emails, and collects money for end—of—season gifts. Somewhere along the way, the same parent ends up becoming an invaluable member of the team. The coach is able to focus on the kids while the other parents are relieved to be off the hook for another season. Handing out sliced oranges to bloodthirsty kids can be as exciting as watching your own kid score a goal.Still, most of us volunteers breathe a sigh of relief when the season comes to a close. That relief is coupled with a deep understanding of why the same people keep coming back for more: Connecting to the community as you freely give your time, money, skills, or services provides a real joy. Volunteering just feels so good.In that sense, I'm pretty sure volunteering is more of a selfish act than I'd freely like to admit. However, if others benefit in the process, and I get some reward too, does it really matter where my motivation lies?4. What can we infer about the parent from her reply in paragraph 1?A. She knows little about the club.B. She isn't good at sports.C. She just doesn't want to volunteer.D. She's unable to meet her schedule.5. What does the underlined phrase "tug at the heartstrings” in paragraph 2 mean?A. Encourage team workB. Appeal to feelingsC. Promote good deedsD. Provide advice6. What can we learn about the parent from paragraph 3?A. She gets interested in lacrosse.B. She is proud of her kids.C. She'll work for another season.D. She becomes a good helper.7. Why does the author like doing volunteer work?A. It gives her a sense of dutyB. It makes her very happy.C. It enables her to work hardD. it brings her material rewardsCMarian Bechtel sits at West Palm Beach's Bar Louie counter by herself, quietly reading her e-book as she waits for her salad. What is she reading? None of your business! Lunch is Bechtel's "me" time. And like more Americans, she's not alone.A new report found 46 percent of meals are eaten alone in America. More than half(53 percent) have breakfast alone and nearly half (46 percent) have lunch by themselves. Only at dinnertime are we eating together anymore, 74 percent, according to statistics from the report."I prefer to go out and be out. Alone, but together, you know?" Bechtel said, looking up from her book. Bechtel, who works in downtown West Palm Beach, has lunch with coworkers sometimes, but like many of us, too often works through lunch at her desk. A lunchtime escape allows her to keep a boss from tapping her on the shoulder. She returns to work feeling energized. "Today, I just wanted some time to myself," she said.Just two seats over, Andrew Mazoleny, a local videographer, is finishing his lunch at the bar. He likes that he can sit and check his phone in peace or chat up the barkeeper with whom he's on a first-name basis if he wants to have a little interaction(交流). "I reflect on how my day's gone and think about the rest of the week," he said. "It's a chance for self-reflection, you return to work recharged and with a plan."That freedom to choose is one reason more people like to eat alone. There was a time when people may have felt awkward about asking for a table for one, but those days are over. Now, we have our smartphones to keep us company at the table. "It doesn't feel as alone as it may have before all the advances in technology," said Laurie Demerit, whose company provided the statistics for the report.8. What are the statistics in paragraph 2 about?A. Food variety.B. Eating habits.C. Table manners.D. Restaurant service.9. Why does Bechtel prefer to go out for lunch?A. To meet with her coworkers.B. To catch up with her work.C. To have some time on her own.D. To collect data for her report.10. What do we know about Mazoleny?A. He makes videos for the bar.B. He's fond of the food at the bar.C. He interviews customers at the bar.D. He's familiar with the barkeeper.11. What is the text mainly about?A. The trend of having meals alone.B. The importance of self-reflection.C. The stress from working overtime.D. The advantage of wireless technology.DBacteria are an annoying problem for astronauts. The microorganisms(微生物) from our bodies grow uncontrollably on surfaces of the International Space Station, so astronauts spend hours cleaning them up each week. How is NASA overcoming this very tiny big problem? It's turning to a bunch of high school kids. But not just any kids. It is depending on NASA HUNCH high school class, like the one science teachers Gene Gordon and Donna Himmelberg lead at Fairport High School in Fairport, New York.HUNCH is designed to connect high school classrooms with NASA engineers. For the past two years, Gordon's students have been studying ways to kill bacteria in zero gravity, and they think they're close to a solution(解决方案). "We don't give the students any breaks. They have to do it just like NASA engineers," says Florence Gold, a project manager."There are no tests," Gordon says, "There is no graded homework. There almost are no grades, other than'Are you working towards your goal?' Basically, it's'I've got to produce this product and then, at the end of year, present it to NASA.'Engineers come and really do an in-person review, and...it's not a very nice thing at time. It's a hard business review of your product."Gordon says the HUNCH program has an impact(影响) on college admissions and practical life skills. "These kids are so absorbed in their studies that I just sit back.I don't teach." And that annoying bacteria? Gordon says his students are emailing daily with NASA engineers about the problem, readying a workable solution to test in space.12. What do we know about the bacteria in the International Space Station?A. They are hard to get rid of.B. They lead to air pollution.C. They appear different forms.D. They damage the instruments.13. What is the purpose of the HUNCH program?A. To strengthen teacher-student relationships.B. To sharpen students' communication skills.C. To allow students to experience zero gravity.D. To link space technology with school education.14. What do the NASA engineers do for the students in the program?A. Check their product.B. Guide project designs.C. Adjust work schedules.D. Grade their homework.15. What is the best title for the text?A. NASA: The Home of AstronautsB. Space: The Final Homework FrontierC. Nature: An Outdoor ClassroomD. HUNCH: A College Admission ReformImagine a child standing on a diving board four feet high and asking himself the question: "Should I jump?" This is what motivation or the lack of it can do. Motivation and goal setting are the two sides of same coin. (1) Like the child on the diving board, you will stay undecided.(2) More than that, how should you stay motivated to achieve the goal? First, you need to evaluate yourself, your values your strengths, your weaknesses, your achievements, your desires, etc. Only then should you set your goals.You also need to judge the quality and depth of your motivation. This is quite important, because it is directly related to your commitment. There are times when your heart is not in your work. (3) So, slow down and think what you really want to do at that moment. Clarity(清晰) of thoughts can help you move forward.Another way of setting realistic goals is to analyze your short and long term objectives, keeping in mind your beliefs, values and strengths. Remember that goals are flexible. (4) They also need to be measurable. You must keep these points in mind while setting your goals.Your personal circumstances are equally important. For example, you may want to be a Pilot but can't become one because your eyesight is not goodenough. (5) You should reassess your goals, and motivate yourself to set a fresh goal.You will surely need to overcome some difficulties, some planned, but most unplanned. You cannot overcome them without ample motivation. Make sure that you plan for these difficulties at the time of setting your goals.A. This can affect your work.B. So how should you motivate yourself?C. However, this should not discourage you.D. So why should we try to set specific goals?E. They can change according to circumstances.F. Motivation is what you need most to do a good job.G. Without motivation you can neither set a goal nor reach it.16. A. A B. B C. C D. D E. EF. FG. G17. A. A B. B C. C D. D E. EF. FG. G18. A. A B.

The Founding of Red Apple Lunch CompanyCThe Mona Lisa effect describes the phenomenon where the eyes in a portrait seem to follow the person looking at it, no matter where the person stands in the room. The effect was obviously named after Leonardo da Vinci s famous painting featuring the woman with the mysterious smile and the steady stare. But ironically (讽刺地), a new study/ finds that Mona Lisa may not be all that interested in tracking her observers. Two researchers from Bielefeld University in Germany found that the famous subject of the painting, also known, as "La Gioconda"，is actually looking just over your right shoulder.For the experiment , Horstmann and his research assistant Sebastian Loth gathered two dozen participants to take a look at the eyes of the painting. But they didn't just ask them if they thought Mona Lisa was looking their way. Instead they displayed part of her face on a computer screen, then asked volunteers to measure her stare using a carpenter's ruler that was held horizontally between them and the screen.Although the computer screen and the participants stayed in the same spot, the ruler was moved closer and farther from the screen during the trial. In addition, the researchers modified the size of Mona Lisa 's face and how much of her features were visible to see if that changed the perception of her stare. I he images showed varying degrees of rise一from 30 to70 percent with some showing her entire face and others showing just her eyes and nose.The researchers also moved the images several centimeters to the left and to the right, so the Participants wouldn’t just p ick the same measurement on the ruler each time.Horstmann and Loth published their results in the journal i-perception where they were very clear in their conclusion.“We conclude from the measurements that the; lack of evidences due to the declaration being objectively false: Mona Lisa does not stare at the viewer ,” theywrote.“There is no doubt about the existence of the Mona Lisa effect---it just does not occur with Mona Lisa herself.28. What does the new study find?A. The Mona Lisa effect does exist.B. The reason for Mona Lisa smile.C. What is the origin of the real Mona Lisa.D. Mona Lisa is not Straightly looking at the viewer.29. What were the participants required to do during the experiment?A. To operate a computer as they moved.B. To measure the direction of the stare with a ruler.C. To count the direction of the stare with a computer.D. To evaluate the distance between each participant.30. Which can best replace the underlined word“"modified” in paragraph 3?A. Estimated.B. Changed.C. Enlarged.D. Described.31. What do Horstmann and Loth think of the new finding?A. It's reasonable and clear.B. It's beyond expectation.C. It's short of solid evidence.D. It's consistent with previous studies.DWe have all been there. In a rush to leave the house we grab ou phone6 a head out of the door, realizing all too late that the battery is dead because we forgot 1oprog it into the table cloth. Or perhaps we have not. But this could be be future that scientists hope to explore with eletr6nic sheets that charge our Mobile phones, laptops and other equipment by harvesting energy from the world around us.In a step in that direction, scientists at Massachusetts Institute of Technology ( MIT)have created super- thin，bendy materials that absorb wireless Internet and other electromagnetic waves in the air and turn them into electricity. The lead researcher, Tomas Palacios, said the breakthrough smoothed the way for energy- harvesting covers ranging from table cloths to giant packing for buildings that catch energy from the environment to power sensors and other electronics.Palacios and his colleagues connected a bendy antenna(天线)to a flexible semiconductor(半导体)layer only three atoms thick. The antenna picks up wifi and other radio frequency signals and turns them into a current. This flows into a special semiconductor, where it is changed into a direct electrical current. Researchers have made energy-harvesting“rectennas ( rectifying antenna )”before,but existing equipment is made from conventional semiconductors which are inflexible, fragile and practically impossible to make in large sheets.The wi-fi signals can fill an office with more than 100 microwatts of power that is ripe to be collected by energy-harvesting equipment. The MIT system has an efficiency (效率) of between 30% and 40%，producing about 40 microwatts when exposed to signals bearing 150microwatts of power in laboratory tests.“It doesn't. sound like much compared with the 60w atts that a computerneeds, but you can still do a lot with it,” Palacios said. “ You can design a wide range of sensors, for environmental monitoring or chemical and biological sensing, which operate at the single microwatt level.”Medical equipment is another potential application. Because wi-fi and similarradio-frequency signals pass through people, energy-harvesting covers could be applied to implanted sensors to provide them with enough power to send out health data to an outside receiver.32. Wh at does the underlined word “it” in paragraph 1 refer to?A. The phoneB. The door.C. The sheetD. The table.33. What is special about the new breakthrough?A. It can harvest wi-fi energy.B. It is super thin and flexible.C It can power all the electronicsD. It smooths the way of receiving signals34. What can be inferred from paragraph 4?A The team will focus on improving efficiency of the new equipment.B. A single device can harvest half of the energy in an office.C. Palacios is pleased with the fie of the new。

Instead,he simply asked,“The address?”An hour later Steve arrived in his truck.He looked exactly as I had imagined he might:broad and bearlike,in well-worn clothing.“Can you fix it?”I asked with a mixture of doubt and hope.Steve looked at me as if responding to my lack of faith.With a cheerful shrug that suggested my crisis was all in a day’s work for him,he said,“Sure.”After a short while,Steve told me that he had to get a tool and tear up the street to the main sewer line.He would first have to get permission from the town.I registered appropriate panic.“How long will all this take?”Again,a shrug.“I should have it done by evening.”I did not want to watch the digging of my property unfold and went into town to visit some fiends.I felt somewhat guilty upon driving off in my clean vehicle,leaving Steve to such a disagreeabletask.Finally,when I went home,a sweeter sight I never saw;a period of newly paved street and all was tidy and relatively dry.I need to say,in my own defense,that I am not a weak father of two children.I’ve traveled all over the world,served in the United States Navy and earned a PhD.But the broken sewer line was my limit.Then I thought about Steve.Big,rough,and how people might judge him,if not for his appearance then for his work.And I was taken by the very idea that,no matter what crisis occurs, there is somebody,somewhere,who has the appropriate tools and settles it.24.What do we know about Steve?A.He wears neat and new clothes.B.He is quite confident of his skills.C.He always complains about his job.D.He hesitates to accept the repair work.25.What did Steve think of the author’s crisis?A.It’s a great challenge.B.It’s beyond his ability.C.It’s a part of his routine.D.It’s none of his business.26.Why did the author leave home during the repairs?A.He liked to take his time riding outside.B.He drove to turn to his friends for help.C.He was afraid of being looked down upon.D.He was unwilling to face the embarrassing situation.27.What can be inferred from the text?A.Action speaks louder than words.B.God helps those who help themselves.C.Every profession produces its top experts.D.Hope for the best,but prepare for the worst.CThe Detroit Symphony Orchestra will be performing works by Georges Bizet Friday morning. You might enjoy classical music and like to attend the performance,but live far away from America’s Motor City.On Saturday.the GoGo group Curtis Johnson is performing at the Kennedy Center in Washington.D.C.If you live overseas.going to that show is probably out of the question.But there is a solution!These and other concerts are available“live”on the Internet.You can hear them in real time with an electronic device.Both performances will be available on the World Wide Web.They are part of a growing number of concerts broadcast on computers,tablets and smart phones.These digital concerts are known as live-streaming.Technology expert Michael Antonoff says better and less costly equipment is making it easier for performers and theaters to offer music“live”online.The quality of the sound and video pictures are improving all the time,he says.Those online concerts now have as many as40,000viewers per show.People in100nations are watching.It is a huge part of our increasing global reach.For international performers,Kennedy Center officials see a jump in online viewership from the home countries of the performer.There is hometown pride when an artist is performing in one ofAmerica’s best-known concerts,says the Kennedy Center’s Garth Ross.At a recent Kennedy Center concert,a performer said he was so happy that his disabled mother back in California could watch his performance.It is not just music being streamed on the web.On December10,the producer of musical“Daddy Long legs”put the show on the web free of charge.It was the first live webcast of a New York musical.Over150,000peoplefrom135nations watched,producer Ken Davenport said.In other words,it would take his musical 2.7years of sold-out performances to draw that many people.28.Which of the following can replace the underlined phrase“out of the question”in Paragraph 2?A.Impossible.B.Easy.C.Exciting.D.Concerning.29.What results from the improvement of equipment?A.The equipment is becoming more expensive.B.Few people like watching performances at spot.C.People can watch digital concerts free of charge.D.More and more people enjoy the performances online.30.How do the international artists feel about their performances?A.Proud.B.Anxious.C.Relaxed.D.Stressed.31.What is the best title for the text?A.A Solution to Live Concert ProblemsB.Detroit Symphony Orchestra PerformanceC.American Concerts Available WorldwideD.Development of Music Electronic DeviceDRecycling is essential 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.This creates a lot of garbage which in turn destroys the environment.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 trash can, you should separate paper,metal,glass,and plastic into different post should also be recycled as this is excellent food for farm animals and also makes for great fertilizer(肥料). You should try to buy products that have been recycled.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 swap 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 pocketbook.Remember,what is one person’s junk can be someone else’s treasure!The 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 many countries around the world the responsibility is left up to the individual to recycle.Therefore,it must be made a priority (优先考虑的事)in society so we can continue to make our environment livable.32.Why is more waste being made in today’s world?A.People dislike the updated items.B.People own abundant belongings.C.People intend to live a simple life.D.People have made great progress in industry.33.What does the underlined word“this”in Paragraph3refer to?A.Exchanging clothes with friends.B.Shopping at second-hand stores.C.Throwing away old clothes.D.Picking up new items.34.To make the environment enjoyable,we should.A.always buy new clothesB.choose recyclable productsC.go shopping at chain storesD.arrange more garbage trucks35.What can we learn from the last paragraph?ernments do nothing in recycling.B.Normal vehicles can pick up recyclables.C.The individual seldom cares about recycling.D.Everyone should feel socially responsible for rcling.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。
