英语_2020-2021学年某校高二(上)第二次大练英语试卷(含答案)
2020-2021学年某校高二（上）第二次大练英语试卷第二部分阅读（共两节，满分37.5分）第一节（共4小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项．1. Will you crazy about these newly﹣built products that are not merely quite useful but also good to the environment? Come and see then!Eco﹣friendly UmbrellaTraditional umbrellas come with a fixed surface．Although it is changeable, you cannot replace it easily．This eco﹣friendly design is more flexible．It is actually only an umbrella skeleton without any surface, which can be folded, so you can put anything such as newspapers, plastic bags or whatever you want to serve as the protecting surface．Pollution﹣sensitive DressDon't be caught outside unaware of pollution levels in the air．The pollution﹣sensitive EPA Dress by Stephanie Sandstrom notices pollution in the air accordingly．This dress﹣which is actually quite pretty﹣looks like you pull it from the bottom of the dirty laundry pile when the air is dirty．It might protect your health by advising you to stay indoors for the day, but it won't do you any favor if you're meeting with clients．Eco﹣friendly Car RacerCan you image a car racer is so eco﹣friendly that its tyres are made from potatoes, its body is created from hemp（大麻） and rapeseed oil and it runs on fuel made from wheat and sugar beet? The one seater racing car called Eco One is built by experts from Warwick University, who hope that Eco One will be adopted by the automotive industry．It is sold at ＄51, 000．Eco﹣friendly Moss（苔藓） CarpetDo you know it is said that walking on fresh grass can really increases your blood circulation? The Moss Carpet, created by Nguyen La Chanh, looks at getting the grass toyour feet．The mat includes ball moss, island moss and forest moss．The humidity（湿度）of the bathroom ensures that it grows well．And that's why you need to place it there andnot anywhere else．（1）The EPA Dress is designed to________．A discourage people from going outB help meet with clientsC improve people's appearanceD inform people of air quality．（2）What can we know about Eco One？________A It can seat one passenger and one driver．B It can't be afforded by the public at present．C It is mainly made from some kinds of plants．D It will take the place of the traditional car industry．．（3）Where does the text probably come from？________A A science report．B A personal blog．C A health report．D An official document．2. It is when Russell Lyons volunteered for the first time that he read "Goodnight Moon" toa class of San Diego preschoolers．And it wasn't reading﹣he'd memorized the book andwas reciting it out loud．He was 4 then．Still, he said it felt good there, in front of the other kids, lending a hand．He wanted more of that feeling．Thirteen years later, he's getting a lot of it．He's on a five﹣month road trip across America﹣not sightseeing, but volunteering．The University City resident has spent time at an animal reserve in Utah, a women's shelter in St．Louis, a soup kitchen in New York, a retirement home in Tucson．This week he's in Los Angeles, at a program that supports disabled youth．"I just like helping people and feeling that something I do is making a difference, " he said．He resists the idea that his "Do Good Adventure" is all that unusual．Although it bothers him that the media often describe young people as lazy and self﹣centered, he still regards his trip as a chance to make a statement, too．"About 55 percent of teens do volunteer work, higher than the rate for adults, " he said, according to a study．"Not everybody knows that．"Of course, some teens do volunteer work because it looks impressive on their college applications．Lyons said he mentioned his trip on his applications．But charity work is a habit with him．Even before the cross﹣country trip, he was volunteering about 200 hours a year at various places．He's made sandwiches for homeless families in Washington D．C．and he's taught math to fifth﹣graders in Cuernavaca, Mexico．He gets some of that drive from his mother, Lesley Lyons, who has been involved in nonprofits for much of her life．She was there when her son "read" to the preschoolers﹣a memory of hers "that will never go away"．（1）How did Russell Lyons start as a volunteer？________A By reciting a story for preschoolers．B By helping kids with homework．C By lending books to kids．D By giving a lecture．．（2）Which do you think is Russell's statement？________A Volunteering is an unusual adventure．B Young people are lazy andselfish． C Young people are willing to help others． D The rate of adults doing volunteer work is higher than that of teenagers．．（3）Why has Russell Lyons been doing volunteer work？________A Because he thinks it is necessary for college applications．B Because he thinks it has become a natural part of his life．C Because he thinks he likes the feeling of being praised．D Because he thinks he ought to keep his promise to Mom．．（4）What does the last paragraph suggest？________A Lesley Lyons is too busy to look after her son．B Children are always important to their parents．C Lesley Lyons almost earns no money all her life．D Russell Lyons is greatly influenced by his mother．3. How much do consumers care about the carbon footprint of the products theybuy? Would they care more if the goods were labeled with emissions（排放物） data? Does it matter at which stage in the lifecycle of a product the carbon is emitted? Research published in the International Journal of Environmental Policy and Decision Making offers away to find out．Study participants view a carbon footprint label as similar to labels that have appeared on some existing products．The label shows the carbon dioxide emissions connected with their production, transportation, usage and disposal（清理）, thus showing the buyer the likely effect on climate change of buying a particular product．In the first group of studies, the research team proved that carbon emissions and a carbon emissions label would indeed play a role in consumer product decisions, although not as great a role as price．In a second set of studies, the team found that emissions connected with usage were most important to consumers followed by the transportation and disposal stages．The carbon footprint of the producing process was considered less important to consumers than the other stages in the product's lifecycle because it is outside the consumer's control．That is, the participants felt they were less responsible for carbon emitted during producing process．Consumers value recycling a product, but the researchers found that, overall, the consumers would prefer producers to offset（补偿）carbon emissions rather than having to ________ the problem directly themselves．Consumers are increasingly concerned with climate change problems, and already carbon labeling is appearing on some products．"We find that participants not only take the carbon label into account when making product decisions, but they want detailed information onthe label, " the researchers explain．They suggest that companies should prepare for how carbon emissions labels might affect future consumer choice．（1）Which of the following most affects consumer's choice？________A Labels．B Price．C Packaging．D Carbon footprint．．（2）About the carbon dioxide emissions in the product's lifecycle， which stage do consumers care most？________A Usage stage．B Transportation stage．C Disposal stage．D Producing stage．．（3）Which of the following can best replace the underlined word "address"？________A Look into．B Point out．C Deal with．D Run into．．（4）What can be inferred from the last paragraph？________A Companies should take carbon emissions more seriously．B All products have been labeled with carbon emissions data．C Producers will attach less importance to carbon emissions labels．D Products labeled with carbon emissions data will have poor sales．4. Nowadays technologies benefit us a lot in our daily life, but if not properly used, they can affect our health．The bed is supposed to be reserved as a place for sleep, but people tend to read an iPad a lot in bed before they go to sleep．Charles Czeisler, a professor at Harvard Medical School, and his colleagues got a small group of people for an experiment．For five days in a row, the people read either a paper book or an iPad for four hours before sleep．Their sleep patterns were monitored all night．Before and after each trial period, the people took hourly blood tests to paint a day﹣long picture of just how much melatonin（褪黑激素） was in their blood at any given time．When subjects read on the iPad as compared to the paper books, they reported feeling less sleepy at night and less active the following morning．People also took longer to fall asleep on the iPad nights, and the blood tests showed that their melatonin secretion（分泌） was delayed by an hour and a half．The researchers conclude in today's journal article that given the rise of e﹣readers and the increasingly widespread use of e﹣things among children and adolescents, more research into the long﹣term consequences of these devices on health and safety is urgently needed．Czeisler and colleagues go on, in the research paper, to note "Reading an iPad in bed may increase cancer risk"．However, software has been developed that can reduce some of the blue light from the screens of phones and computers according to time of day, and there are also glasses that are made to filter（过滤） short wavelengths．While they seem like a logical solution for the nighttime tech users, it needs more research．（1）In Charles Czeisler's experiment， what were all the subjects asked to do？________A Sit in a row and receive the strict tests．B Have their sleep patterns observed all night．C Read a paper book and an iPad at the same time．D Have their blood tested per hour during the trial．．（2）What were the iPad readers likely to do according to the third paragraph？________A They felt less sleepy and tired in the day．B They fell asleep more easily after reading．C They became less energetic the next morning．D They had a lot more melatonin secretions．．（3）What can the special software recently developed do for e﹣readers？________A It can remove the blue light from your devices completely．B It can help prevent eyes being harmed by short wavelengths．C It can weaken the harm done by doing nighttime e﹣reading．D It can be used in all the e﹣things widely and safely．．（4）Which of the following can be the best title for the text？________A Wrong behaviors before bedtime．B New software for night e﹣readers．C No games on the iPad in bed．D No e﹣reading in bed before sleep．第二节（共1小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项．选项中有两项为多余选项．5.More Plastic than Fish in the Oceans by 205030 years from now our seas will be containing more plastic than fish．According to a report released by the World Economic Forum， plastic production around the world is expected to double within the next 20 years．（1）_______By 2050 it will be four．About 8 million tons of plastic are dumped into the sea every year．（2）_______Environmentalists estimate that there are about 160 million tons of plastic in the world's oceans today．By 2050 there will be more plastic in the oceans than fish．（3）_______ In addition it produces a huge garbage patch that floats on the surface， thus putting ships in danger and polluting beautiful beaches around the world．But the plastic that floats in the water is only a fraction of the whole amount．Plastic is becoming more and more common in our world．（4）_______ However， it is endangering our environment more than any other material．The World Economic Forum calls for more recycling and a better use of plastic．95% of all plastic that is produced is only used once， and then it is thrown away．Almost a third finds its way into our environment．Oil is the raw material that plastic is made of．Currently， 5% of the world's oil productionis turned into plastic．（5）_______A．By 2050 it will rise to a fifth．B．There， it can last for hundreds of years．C．It has many uses and is cheap to produce．D．More people have sensed its seriousness．E．Today， one garbage truck full of plastic gets into the ocean every minute．F．They were aiming to highlight the global issue of plastic pollution in the oceans．G．Plastic that turns up in the seas endangers the fish population and other marine animals．第三部分语言运用（共两节，满分15分）第一节（共1小题；每小题15分，满分15分）阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项．6.

AHow to plan your routes to avoid busy placesWhether you are a beginner or already a regular runner, these apps will come in handy forplanning routes that avoid busy places on your next run.StravaJust put in whether you're running or cycling, how far you'd like to go and whether you're keen to avoid hills, the app will then suggest a number of routes near you, based on where other runners have been. It is a good way to see running routes you might not haveexplored.KomootAs you plan the route, it'll work out the distance of your run and give you the option toinput your running speed, allowing the app to work out how long the route shall take you.Map my runMap my run gives runners the option to plan their own route, or the ability to search through popular running routes near you, which is even more helpful for beginners. The app gives you the option of saving your favourite routes and accessing them on the app if you getlost mid-run.OS MapsAnother hugely popular map-building platform, OS Maps is pretty high tech when it comes to planning a running route. You'll need a subscription to get some of the features, but using the free app you can find local running routes. There are almost two million routesstored in the routes database, and many of them are free.1. What is special about Strava?A. It can plan cycling routes.B. It is pretty high technology.C. It can be used to play music.D. It works out the distance of your run.2. Which will be the best choice for beginners to plan their own route?A. Strava.B. KomootC. Map my run.D. OS maps.3. What's the purpose of the text?A. To teach running skills.B. To introduce four apps about running.C. To share running experience.D. To show the popularity of running.BOne day, Amanda was diagnosed(诊断)with cancer of an early stage. During this time, she was admitted to a college. She planned to save money to meet the college expense and thenseek medical treatment for the cancer.Her father, Clint and her friends didn't want her to put off her treatment due to the expense. They took matters into their own hands and started a GoFundMe campaign. A longtime friend of the family was cofounder of a group named Praynksters, known for random acts of kindness. The friend decided to use their own group to help the family. The group came up with the creative idea to spread the word and invite families, friends, and strangers who wanted to help to take part in a donation activity. The event induced the enormous assistance fromthe local community.Clint and Amanda were moved as the crowd passed by and the donations poured in. The event brought the family over $ 13, 000 in donations to go towards her medical treatments. The generous act of kindness gave the family a comforting, and optimistic feeling during a time when all hope seemed lost. Clint said that Amanda struggled with the idea of asking forhelp. She felt guilty and undeserving compared to others who are also struggling. She is stillhumbled by it all.After several months of treatment, life for the family has started getting back to their normal routine. Once Amanda got her strength back, she returned to school and completed her bachelor's degree. The family is now inspired to volunteer in their local neighborhood and contribute to crowdfunding(众筹)efforts. They are grateful for the opportunity to give back and help others as many have helped them.4. Why did Amanda postpone her treatment of cancer?A. She didn't care about her disease.B. She had to take care of her family.C. She was in a bad economic situation.D. She couldn't find an effective treatment.5. What does the underlined word "induced" in paragraph 2 mean?A. Made up.B. Brought about.C. Gave away.D. Set about.6. Which of the following best describes Amanda?A. Kind-hearted and grateful.B. Shameful but caring.C. Curious and warm-hearted.D. Hard-working and humorous.7. What can we infer from the text?A. It's quite easy to cure Amanda's cancer.B. Praynksters is a nonprofit organization funded by Clint.C. V olunteering is very popular in Amanda's community.D. A GoFundMe campaign is actually a crowdfunding activity.CWhy don't we have eyes in the back of our heads? There are at least two reasons, Eyes are biologically expensive things to make and rear-view(后视)eyes don't fit well into the human evolution(进化).Even animals, such as rabbits, whose main survival advantage is rear vision, have onlythe side eyes. Rear vision is not so important. There are other species that have evolved this ability by moving the position of their eyes relative to the rest of their head. Many birds havetheir eyes positioned towards the side of their head, allowing them a very wide angle of vision and, in the case of some birds such as the woodcock·they are positioned so they can actually achieve 360-degree vision. It is also obvious that spiders, which tend to have many eyes, onlyhave them facing forwards.Humans, and probably some other animals, do have another adapted sense to make it up.Many experiments showed that sounds behind the head were noticed by a listener more than sounds to the front, especially if a listener was in a dark room. So, our ears can make up for the lack of rear-facing vision. You can look at it another way. Rear vision is useful only if the potential threat is visible. During human evolution, that was most often not the case.Finally, there is often more than one potential "solution" to a given problem. In many species, the answer to maintaining 360-degree awareness of surrounding danger is to rely on many eyes. Social behavior is common in the animal kingdom and one reason for this is that there is safety in numbers. You might be looking the wrong way when a tiger approaches, but if your teammates raise the alarm this is as effective as having eyes in the hack of your head.8. Why do humans have no rear-view eyes?A. They are bad for human survival.B. They are replaced by other organs.C. They are less likely to spot the danger.D. They are abandoned by natural selection.9. What is the purpose of paragraph 2?A. To state rear-view eyes aren't a must for survival.B. To explain why animals have other functional eyes.C. To prove rabbits, birds and spiders are very special.D. To show rear-view eyes are against the natural selection.10. What does the underlined word "that" in paragraph 3 refer to?A. Sensitive hearing.B. The sound behind the head.C. The visible threat behind the head.D. Rear vision.11.Where does the text most likely come from?A. A travel brochure.B. A science magazine.C. A fiction.D. A book review.DThe UK government has promised to cut the country's greenhouse gas emissions(排放)by at least 68% by 2030 compared with 1990 levels, marking a significant increase from itscurrent goal.The new goal comes nine days ahead of the UK hosting a "climate action summit(峰会)" to encourage other countries to declare tougher climate plans, known as Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs), under the Paris Agreement. Current NDCs will raise temperatures by 30℃. And stronger plans are needed to meet the Paris deal's goal of limiting globalwarming to 1.50℃."This is the most significant NDCs announcement so far from any major economy," said Richard Black at the Energy and Climate Intelligence Unit, a UK-based think tank, in a statement.The new goal is exactly in line with what the government's official climate adviser, the Climate Change Committee, called for in a letter published earlier today. The group said 68% would be "world-leading" compared with existing plans of governments.The UK had previously promised a 53%cut in emissions as part of a joint(共同的)effort with the rest of the European Union, but the UK is determined to produce a new NDCs. Separately, the UK had also promised a 57%cut by 2032 domestically.It is clear that far more action will he needed if the UK is to meet the new goal. The government's own analysis last week showed that recent major methods, such as banning new oil-fueled car sales by 2030, had failed to do enough to put the UK on track even for the old goal of 57% by 2032. The new goal obviously widens that gap further.12. Why did the UK declare its new goal before "climate action summit"?A. To show its former plans are based on facts.B. To blame other countries for their low goals.C. To call on other countries to take bigger steps.D. To take the lead in controlling greenhouse gas emissions.13. What is the UK's new goal for reducing emissions?A. 15%.B. 53%.C. 57%.D. 68%14. What's the author's attitude to the UK's new goal?A. Opposed.B. Doubtful.C. Indifferent.D. Subjective.15. What can be the best title for the text?A. A new goal will be put forward on "climate action summit"B. UK came up with a common goal under the Paris AgreementC. UK's recent major policies are far from its pre-determined goalD. UK sets ambitious climate goal of 68% emissions cut by 2030第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

In the US in parison, 16.8% adults smoked in xx, and the rate of men and women smoking is much closer.China’s smoking rate is nearly the same as xx, but the population over the age of 15 has grown, so the study calculates China now has 316 million smokers, a new record. The average number of cigarettes consumed(消费)each day per smoker has also risen, from 14.2 to 15.2, the study 山东省临沂市xx学年上学期期末考高二英语试题及答案found.The study also suggests Chinese people have little awareness of the dangerof tobacco, despite a several year push to educate the public. While nearly 80% of the respondents(调查对象) know that smoking leads to lung cancer, fewer know about other risks.Beijing introduced a smoking ban in June for all public indoor areas, from restaurants and offices to trains and hospitals. But the results have been mixed, with many citizens ignoring the ban.An October study published in medical journal The Lancet showed even more cruel statistics(统计数据), reporting that 68% of Chinese men and 3.2% of women smoke, and around two-thirds of young Chinese men start smoking mostly before age 20. The report says tobacco caused about one million deaths in China in xx and will kill two million people in 2030.21.What does the underlined word “curb”mean in the first paragraph?A. controlB. keep onC. exchangeD. put up with22.Which of the following is Not true according to the study?A. There are a lot more men smokers than women smokers in China.B. China’s smoking rate in xx was nearly the same as that in xx.C. The danger of tobacco has not been fully realized in China .D. Nearly 80% of the respondents know the many dangers of smoking .23. How have the results been since the ban on smoking in Beijing?A. Satisfying.B. Appealing.C. Astonishing.D. Disappointing.24. What can we know from the October study in the last paragraph?A. About two-thirds of young Chinese men smoke.B. Tobacco caused one million deaths in Beijing in xxC. Tobacco will cause two million deaths in 2030 in China.D. About 71.2% of Chinese people smoke in China.25. What is the text mainly about?A. The difference in smoking between man and woman.B. The general situation of smoking in China.C. The relationship between smoking and lung cancer.D. The trend of youth smoking in China.BBeijing municipal emergency response headquarters(北京政府应急指挥中心) released an orange alarm for heavy air pollution on Thursday evening, December 24, xx, only two days after a red alarm was lifted, and toldcitizens to wear masks or stay indoors.More than 50 cities in northern and eastern China have released haze(雾霾)alarm recently.Beijing educational authorities on Friday morning sent a message to schools telling them to make their own decision to cancel classes or not. Some schools took a day off, others stuck to the schedule. Some were not willing to sound any alarm at all and left it up to individual parents. Some teachers went to school to support students who had chosen to brave the dark and attend class.“I was already on the way to school when I heard about the massage to cancel classes and had to turn around.”said one parent, wondering why the school did not send the message earlier.Schools should have the right to cancel classes in bad weather instead of waiting for the official order, said Xiong Bingqi, director of 21st Century Education Research Institute.While some students were happy to skip school, and even some celebrated the weather, some parents worried that their kids may fall behind if they miss several days of lessons.Though schools told students to join online classes on their own, many parents were concerned that their children were without proper guidance and supervision(监督) from either teachers or themselves.Britain allows parents to cancel their work in emergency circumstances to look after or tutor their children at home, and China should follow that example, said Luo Zhimin, an educational professor with Yunnan University.Schools and administrations need an overall plan, including early warnings, a flexible syllabus, and better munication with teachers and parents, Xiong said.26.What has happened in northern and eastern China?A. Yellow rainstorm warnings have been released in 50 cities.B. Most schools stopped lessons for days because of haze weatherC. All students went to online lessons during the period of haze weather.D. Haze weather has caused negative effects on school schedule.27. “Left it up to individual parents” in paragraph 3 means“”.A. let parents decide whether their children should go to school or notB. let students decide whether to be at home or be with their parentsC. let individual parents look after their children at homeD. let individual parents stay at school with their children28.Which of the following is True according to the passage?A. Schools have the right to cancel classes in bad weather in time.B. Some teachers went to support the students who attended class during the day off.C. The students were all very happy to skip school and celebrate the weather.D. All parents were happy that the students joined online classes at home during the day off.29. Which of the following does Xiong Bingqi agree with?A. Schools should wait for the official order in bad weather.B. Parents needn’t worry that their children may fall behind.C. China should follow Britain’s example to cancel their work.D. Overall plans for schools to deal with bad weather are needed in China.30. What does the passage mainly talk about?A. Heavy air pollution in Beijing.B. Courses cut down in schools.C. Better school arrangements in haze weather.D. Students’ self-protecting in bad weather.CAmazingly for the British, who love queues, there is no formal line up —the bar staff are skilled at knowing whose turn it is. You are permitted to try to attract attention, but there are rules about how to do this. Do not knock coins on the counter, snap your finger or wave like a drowning swimmer. Do not scowl or sigh or roll your eyes. And whatever you do, do not ring the bell hanging behind the counter—this is used by the boss to signal closing time. The key thing is to catch the bar worker’s attention. You could also hold an empty glass or some money, but do not wave them about. Do adopt an expectant, hopeful, even slightly anxious facial expression. If you look very contented, the bar staff may assume you are already being served.Always say “please” and try to remember something the British bar staff 山东省临沂市xx学年上学期期末考高二英语试题及答案hate. They do not like people to keep others waiting while they make up their minds. They don’t like people standing idly against the bar when there are a lot ofcustomers waiting for service. And they do not like people who wait until the end of the order before asking for such drinks as Guinness Stout(爱尔兰黑啤酒) which take considerably longer to pour than other drinks. One Dutch tourist who spent six months visiting 800 of Britain’s 61,000 pubs and interviewing 50 bar owners and bar workers and more than 1,000 customers said: “I cannot understand how the British ever manage to buy themselves a drink.” But they do, and if you follow these tips you should be able to do so, too.Speaking of tips, you should never offer the bar staff cash as a reward of their service. The correct behavior is to offer them a drink. Pubs pride themselves on their equal atmosphere. A tip incash would be a reminder of their service role, whereas the offer of a drink is a friendly gesture.31. How can you get served in a British bar?A. Stand in a line and don’t jump the queue.B. Hold your empty glass and wave at the bar staff.C. Pretend to be happy and satisfied.D. Hold some money and look into the bar staff’s eyes.32. What does the underlined word “scowl”probably mean?A. Making a happy facial expression.B. Making a refreshing facial expression.C. Making an angry facial expression.D. Making a patient facial expression.33.What behavior will probably make the bar staff angry?A. Frequently ordering yourself a glass of Guinness Stout.B. Leaning against the bar idly when they are busily serving customers.C. Saying “please” to them when you order something.D. Waiting impatiently when people spend much time making up their minds.34. Which will be appropriate when you leave a British bar?A. Offer them a glass of wine.B. Offer them more tips than usual.C. Offer them the right amount of tips.D. Do not offer them any tips, just leave.35.What’s the main idea of the passage?A. An introduction to British bar customs.B. Differences of British bars from others.C. Ways to get served in a bar.D. The history of British bars.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｡选项中有两项为多余选项｡Making boys menEditor’s note: Last month, a Nanjing school held a forum(论坛)on boys’education, inviting students, parents and teachers to discuss how to make men out of boys. 36 .

I would like to focus mainly on how toimprove your English for practical purposes. It is my belief that to improve a language, it is important for one to continuously use that language. In English, as in most languages, there are 4 mainaspects of speaking, listening, reading and writing. I believe two activities call help all four ofthese. Firstly reading in the newspaper has been noted to be able to help improve one’s English.However, I personally feel that reading books is more useful. While newspaper reading can improve your English I feel that it may be too boring。

Not just in terms of the price, but also grooming（梳理） and medical expenses.In this list, we will cover the most expensive dog breeds in the world that you can buy. We'll even include the dog's price tag, washing expenses, and average health care costs.Kerry Blue TerrierWith a price at ＄600, this dog might be inexpensive. However, due to their many health concerns, health care costs can reach up to ＄7, 000. If taken good care of, they can live up to 15 years.Great DaneThe Great Dane breed is a big dog with an average price of ＄800. This breed has a life expectancy（期限） of 7 to 10 years. The average health care costs are expected to be around ＄7, 100.Bernese Mountain DogThe purchase price for one of these huge 120﹣pound dogs is around ＄800. This breed has many health concerns which will cost you around ＄6, 500.German ShepherdKnown for their cleverness as a sheepherder, the price for one is around ＄800. Although they can live for up to 13 years, their health care costs up to ＄20, 500. What causes their health care to be so expensive is treating common health conditions.（1）What is important to a life length of a Kerry Blue Terrier？________A Good care.B Enough food.C Proper exercise.D Daily companion.．（2）What is special about German Shepherd？________A It costs the most to care.B It is the cheapest to get.C It can live up to 15 years.D It is the strongest dog.．（3）Which would you buy if you want to spend less than ＄7，500， including health care cost？________A Great Dane.B German Shepherd.C Kerry Blue Terrier.D Bernese Mountain Dog.．2. The western green mamba（绿曼巴蛇）, a kind of snake, is between 5.9 feet and 10.5 feet long. This makes the western green mamba the second longest poisonous snake in Africa, with the black mamba being the first.The western green mamba is, however, the most agile（敏捷的） snake in the mamba family. Their skin color is greenish yellow or live green, which helps them to hide in the environment. One other important feature of the snake is its long tail with a sharp point.The western green mamba can be found in West Africa. They often live in rain forests. Being an ________ species, these snakes spend most of their time moving among the tree tops. They are also used to moving on the ground and will commonly leave their trees to run after a potential meal on the ground. The western green mamba is mostly active in the daytime, but can also be seen hunting at night from time to time.The diet of a western green mamba is made up of birds and all kinds of small animals such as squirrels, mice and even bats. These snakes can get close to their target with the help of their natural skin color. When they are close enough, they bite the target with poisonous teeth quickly. Once the target has died, the western green mamba will swallow it whole. If these snakes are faced with danger, they will try to run away. If they have no way to run away, however, they will become very aggressive and attack their enemies with their sharp teeth repeatedly.The female western green mamba is the one who lay eggs. They will lay from 5 to 15 eggs. The young snakes are completely independent after birth. The mother and father play no part in raising the baby snakes. The babies are born with everything they need to survive in the wilderness. If they can reach adulthood, then they will have almost no natural predators. The western green mamba is not dying out. But its biggest threat comes from people and the damage they can bring to their homes. Hopefully, the western green mamba can continue to live alongside people and never have to worry that they will die out.（1）What do we know about the western green mamba？________A They are less poisonous than the black mamba.B Their skin colors help them hide from others.C They are usually seen looking for food at nightD They are the longest poisonous snake in Africa .．（2）The underlined word "arboreal" in Paragraph 3 probably means________.A living in hotelsB living in the waterC living in the grassD living in trees．（3）If a western green mamba has no way to escape， it will________.A hide itself into the environment nearbyB fight against the enemybravely C change its natural skin color D swallow the enemy whole．（4）Which of the following is TRUE about young snakes？________A They can take care of each other.B They have no natural predators.C They don't need their parents' care after birth.D They lay from five to fifteen eggs at a time.．3. Data collected by the World Food Program shows that every year over 847 million people worldwide suffer from malnutrition and about 3.1 million children under the age of 5 die of starvation.While dealing with world hunger is an important thing for scientists, it is noteasy, considering natural resources. But thanks to new ideas like Livingbox, there may be some hope.The Israeli scientists Nitzan Solan and Moti Cohen say Livingbox is an environment﹣friendly ecosystem made of some connected boxes to form a mini﹣farm. This means that the vegetables are grown in water instead of soil.While professional farmers have been doing that for years, Livingbox is the first system built to gain nutrients from common waste. Better yet, it can run without electricity and requires no farming skills to keep. This means that city people who cannot get fresh vegetables can use Livingbox to grow vegetables.It is easy for all farmers to set up the boxes. Then they fill them with fresh water and add the required seeds. As soon as they add one or all three types of waste, the system will self﹣produce the nitrogen needed for the plants to take root.Those that use fish waste have a double advantage﹣they can cultivate both fish and vegetables at the same time. The fish can provide the waste needed for the plants to grow, while the plants naturally filter the water and help keep a clean home for the fish.Once the vegetables are ready to pick, farmers simply harvest them and begin the cycle all over again. While the 15﹣square foot box provides enough vegetables for a family of four, it is easy to make a larger Livingbox in order to build larger farms.The one thing that can prevent Livingbox from being used in developing countries is the cost. However, some businessmen with several non﹣profit organizations have promised to keep it affordable, so that poor people living in cities of developing countries can get the chance to eat nutritious food.（1）Why do scientists find it hard to solve world hunger？________A Because it needs a lot of money to solve the problem.B Because there are too many people are starving in the world.C Because the population grows rapidly and there are not enough resources.D Because most of the natural resources have been damaged.．（2）What do we know about Livingbox？________A It is not harmful to the environment.B It is made of boxes filled with richsoil. C It requires electricity. D It requires farmers to learn some special skills.．（3）Livingbox is designed to________.A help developing countries become richB get rid of the waste produced byanimals C get clean water for people living in cities D let poor people living in cities get fresh vegetables．（4）From the last two paragraphs， we can infer that________.A farmers can use the boxes againB it will not cost much money to buildLivingbox C Livingbox has been built by businessmen in the world D Livingbox has become popular in developing countries．4. Women who own cats are more likely to have mental health problems and kill themselves because they can be infected by a common parasite that can be caught from cat litter, a study has found.Researchers found women infected with the Toxoplasma gondii （T. gondii） parasite（刚地弓形虫）, which is spread through contact with cat waste or eating undercooked meat or unwashed vegetables, are at increased risk of attempting suicide.The study involved more than 45, 000 women in Denmark. About a third of the world's population is infected with the parasite, which hides in cells in the brain and muscles, oftenwithout producing symptoms. The infection, which is called toxoplasmosis（弓形虫病）, has been linked to mental illness, such as schizophrenia（精神分裂症）, and changes in behavior.The study's senior author Doctor Teodor Postolache, an associate professor of psychiatry （精神病学） at the University of Maryland School of Medicine in the UnitedStates, said, "We can't say with certainty that T. gondii caused the women to try to kill themselves, but we did find a predictive association between the infection and suicide attempts later in life that deserves additional studies."Doctor Albert Reece, vice president of medical affairs at the University ofMaryland, said, "T. gondii infection is a major public health problem around the world, and many people don't realize they're infected."Dr Postolache is a leading expert on suicide neuroimmunology（神经免疫学）. Suicide is a critically important mental health issue. About one million people commit suicide and another 10 million attempt suicide worldwide each year. We hope that this type of research will one day help us find ways to save many lives that now end too early in suicide."Dr. Postolache's research team at the University of Maryland was the first to report a connection between T. gondii and suicidal behavior in 2009. He is cooperating with researchers in Denmark, Germany and Sweden to confirm and investigate the way leading to this association.The T. gondii parasite thrives in the intestines of cats, and it is spread through their waste. All warm﹣blooded animals can become infected through contact with it. Humans can become infected by changing their infected cats' litter boxes, eating unwashed vegetables, drinking water from a polluted source, or by eating undercooked or raw meat. Not washing kitchen knives after preparing raw meat before handling another food item also can lead to infection. Pregnant women can pass the parasite directly to their unborn babies and are advised not to change cat litter boxes to avoid possible infection.Babies don't produce antibodies to T. gondii for three months after they are born, so the antibodies present in their blood represented infection in the mothers. The scientists studied Danish health patients to determine if any of these women later attempted suicide, including cases of violent suicide attempts which may have involved guns, sharp instruments and jumping from high places.The study found that women infected with T. gondii were one and a half times more likely to attempt suicide compared to those who were not infected, and the risk seemed to rise with increasing levels of the T. gondii antibodies.Dr. Postolache noted limitations to the study, such as the inability to determine the cause of the suicidal behavior.The findings were published online in the Archives of General Psychiatry.（1）The common way which is more likely to be infected with the disease is________.A to eat unwashed vegetables or undercooked meatB to clean a place where a cat once lived for a timeC to pass the infection to her unborn baby during a woman's pregnancyD to reuse kitchen tools which have been used to cut raw meat．（2）What is the consequence if a woman is infected with the parasite in the passage？________A Having a high fever.B Doing deliberate self﹣harm.C Keeping a depressed mood.D Becoming bad tempered.．（3）What can be inferred from the passage？________A Women have a higher risk to be infected by the parasite than men.B The result of the research may help the scientists to find ways to stop suicide in advance.C The scientists will continue their research into the possible connection.D The risk of being infected seems to rise with the decreasing levels of the antibodies.．（4）Which of the following statements would probably be the best title of the passage？________A Why are women more likely to commit suicide？B Women should keep away from cats.C Ways found to deal with women's mental problems.D Are women who own cats at a suicide risk？．第二节（共1小题，每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。
