The issue here is not the accuracy of Tolstoy’s description--it seems not that far off from historical accounts but his choice of facts:other things that could be said of the man are not said. We are meant to understand the difference of a warring commander in the body of a fat little Frenchman. Tolstoy’s Napoleon could be any man wandering in the streets and putting a little of powdered tobacco up his nose —and that is the point.It is a way the novelist uses to show the moral nature of a character. And it turns out that, as Tolstoy has it, Napoleon is a crazy man. In a scene in Book Three of War and Peace, the wars having reached the critical year of 1812,Napoleon receives a representative from the Tsar(沙皇), who has come with peace terms. Napoleon is very angry:doesn’t he have more army? He, not the Tsar, is the one to make the terms. He will destroy all of Europe if his army is stopped. “That is what you will have gained by engaging me in the war!〞 he shouts. And then, Tolstoy writes, Napoleon “walked silently several times up and down the room, his fat shoulders moving quickly.’’Still later, after reviewing his army amid cheering crowds, Napoleon invites the shaken Russian to dinner. “He raised his hand to the Russian’s…face,〞Tolstoy writes, and “taking him by the ear pulled it gently….〞 To have one’s ear pulled by the Emperor was considered the greatest honor and mark of favor at the French court. “Well, well, why don’t you say anything?’’ said he, as if it was ridiculous in his presence to respect any one but himself, Napoleon.Tolstoy did his research, but the composition is his own.51. Tolstoy’s description of Napoleon in War and Peace is _________.A. far from the historical factsB. based on the Russian historyC. based on his selection of factsD. not related to historical details52. Napoleon was angry when receiving the Russian representative because _________.A. he thought he should be the one to make the peace termsB. the Tsar's peace terms were hard to acceptC. the Russians stopped his military movementD. he didn’t have any more army to fight with53. What did Napoleon expect the Russian representative to do?A. To walk out of the room in anger.B. To show agreement with him.C. To say something about the Tsar.D. To express his admiration.54. Tolstoy intended to present Napoleon as a man who is _________.A. ill-mannered in dealing with foreign guestsB. fond of showing off his iron willC. determined in destroying all of EuropeD. crazy for power and respect55. What does the last sentence of the passage imply?A. A writer doesn’t have to be faithful to his findings.B. A writer may write about a hero in his own way.C. A writer may not be responsible for what he writes.D. A writer has hardly any freedom to show his feelings.单项选择、What 从句1. ______ surprises us most is that she doesn’t even know _____ the difference between the two opinions lies.A It , whichB What , whatC What , whereD That , where2.

高三下学期英语限时练4
新沂三中2023届高三英语限时练(4)限时:40分钟一、阅读理解AAllowing women to give birth in hospital with their pet dog by their side could make them less anxious, one of the first women to use a “birth dog” has said.Charlotte Beard, 24, who suffers from non-epileptic seizures, was supported through her 50-hour labour by her aid pet Flump, who is trained to detect seizures before they happen.Flump was prepared for the birth by being played audio tracks of babies crying at home and being introduced to staff at the maternity ward (产房) in Poole hospital. Beard joked. “He was visiting the maternity hospital on a very regular basis, getting to know staff, getting to know the different rooms and the setups.”It is a legal requirement that assistance dogs are allowed into hospitals, but Beard said a lot of hospitals were not aware of this.“It would have caused high levels of anxiety if Flump was not there,” she said. “I would have certainly been more concerned about my safety.”“I am not suggesting that if I were to have a seizure, staff would not have been able to look after me. But no staff member can detect beforehand whether you are going to have a seizure or not. That is something that Flump can do that nobody else can, and it gives them such valuable time to make sure that I am safe and have the right support in place before it happens. Prevention is always much better than treatment.”Beard got Flump at 10 weeks and has trained him since then. “From a human standpoint I cannot help but think how lovely it is that Flump was there. He was one of the first to see Alfie,” Beard said. “Being present there from the birth and meeting Alfie within moments of him being born, whether it has increased the bond or not, it was such a lovely experience for everyone. Flump was absolutely besotted (痴恋) with Alfie from the moment he first saw him.”1. Why did Beard have an assistance pet present during birth?A. To cure her disease.B. To monitor the doctors.C. To ease her anxiety.D. To keep the door.2. What was the assistance dog trained to do before doing the job?A. Understand human voices.B. Get familiarized with the hospital.C. Play music for babies.D. Learn about medical devices.3. What does the underlined word “it” in paragraph 6 refer to?A. Detecting the disease.B. Medical treatment.C. Looking after the patient.D. A seizure.4. What does Beard think of future bond between the dog and her son?A. It will be close.B. It will be tense.C. It needs improving.D. It is hard to say.BEven tree-planting can increase health risks to local human populations if it focuses too narrowly on a small number of species, as is often the case in commercial forests. Outbreaks of infectious diseases are more likely in areas of monoculture plantations, according to a new study.The researchers of the study said this was because diseases are filtered (过滤) and blocked by a range of predators (食肉动物) and habitats in a healthy, biodiverse forest. When this is replaced by a palm oil plantation or soy fields, the specialist species die off, leaving generalists such as rats and mosquitoes to thrive (繁殖) and spread pathogens across human and non-human habitats. The net result is a loss of natural disease regulation.The researchers examined the correlation between trends for forest cover, plantations, population and disease around the globe using statistics from international institutions such as the World Health Organization and the Food and Agricultural Organization. Over the period of study from 1990 to 2016, this covered 3,884 outbreaks of 116 diseases that crossed the species barrier and 1,996 outbreaks of 69 vector-borne infectious diseases, mostly carried by mosquitoes, ticks or flies.The new study adds to a growing body of evidence that viruses are more likely to transfer to humans or animals if they live in or near human-disturbed ecosystems. This is shaped by trade patterns and consumer behaviour. A quarter of global forest loss is driven by the production of commodities such as beef, soy, palm oil and wood fibre.Morand, lead-author of the study, said his study showed that disease risks need to be added to risk-benefit analysis of new projects. “We should take the costs of public health into account when considering new plantations. The risks are first to local people, but thenworldwide because we have seen with Covid how quickly diseases can spread.”Morand is now working on a more detailed study that will use satellite analysis of forest cover to examine links with disease. With more information, he believes it may be possible to predict future outbreaks and to work with local communities to build ecologically diverse and economically productive landscapes that reduce the risks.5. Why are outbreaks of infectious diseases more likely in areas of monoculture plantations?A. The specialist species are wiped out by their predators.B. Biodiversity decline destroys natural disease regulation.C. Local human populations have no knowledge of health risks.D. Commercial forests provide food for disease-carrying insects.6. How did the researchers get their findings?A. By conducting data analysis.B. By referring to another study.C. By making field investigation.D. By consulting authoritative agencies.7. What does Morand intend to do by his words in paragraph 5?A. Criticize policy-makers.B. Offer a solution to Covid.C. Make a suggestion.D. Support evidence for her findings.8. What does the last paragraph talk about concerning Morand-led study?A. Its theoretical basis.B. Its appeal to the public.C. Expectations for future studies.D. Researchers with new perspectives.第二节(共5小题;每小题分,满分分)If you’re going travelling after university or as a career break, an extended period of time of unemployment can leave a gaping hole in your CV. ____1____ As long as you plan your trip carefully and think about what you can do, travelling can actually boost your CV and career.Recharge you batteriesIf you’ve just spent three or four years at university, or working without a break, then you’ll need to recharge your batteries.

But she only began researching the harmful side effects of radiation treatment after her father discussed his experience with ineffective cancer treatments in his work. Since Butson had also recently lost a relative to breast cancer, she felt inspired to conduct her own research on the subject. She tried to begin her medical research by consulting scientific journals, but she found their academic terms almost impossible to understand.She then turned to the internet to find videos that taught how to read scientific journals. As she went deeper in her research, she stumbled upon a key bit of information: copper (铜) has been shown to be effective at protecting skin from radiation. An idea hit this Australian teen as she was viewing a film on medieval wars in her 10th grade history class. When she saw the scaled (鳞片) patterns of the mail (盔甲), she was inspired to create a wearable protective tool out of copper. She then headed back online and watched videos on how to put together tiny scales. She made her own flexible scale-mail which she now calls SMART: Scale Mail for Radiation Therapy.When her invention was tested in a laboratory setting, it reduced surface exposure to unnecessary radiation by 75%. And now Butson is working on getting her SMART into clinical settings for use.4. Why did Macinley Butson start her research?A. To assist her father with his work.B. To save her relative from cancer.C. To publish some articles in journals.D. To find effective ways to treat cancer.5. What does the underlined phrase “stumbled upon” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?A. Came across.B. Missed.C. Passed on.D. Required.6. Where did Macinley Buston get inspiration for her invention?A. Videos online.B. Scientific journals.C. History textbooks.D. Soldiers’ defensive clothes.7. Which of the following best describes Macinley Buston?A. Stubborn.B. Creative.C. Selfless.D. Considerate.CYoga is an ancient physical and spiritual practice originating in India. The word “yoga” comes from Sanskrit (梵文) and means to join or to unite, symbolizing the union of body and mind. Today it is practiced in various forms around the world and continues to grow in popularity. Recognizing its universal appeal, the United Nations declared 21 June as the International Day of Yoga in 2014 to raise awareness worldwide of the many benefits of practicing yoga.Yoga is an invaluable gift from an ancient tradition. It’s not just about exercise but a way to discover the sense of oneness with yourself, nature and the world. There is no written record of who invented yoga. Yoga practitioners (从业者) passed down the principles to their students. The earliest written record of yoga is generally believed to have been written by Patanjali, an Indian master who lived somewhere between 2,000 and 2,500 years ago.Various yoga types give you multiple choices. Hatha yoga is the most widely practiced type and is excellent for beginners. It is gentle with slow and smooth movements. Kundalini yoga combines a singing session besides body and mental control. Bikram yoga is practiced in a heated room. It is to loosen muscles and to sweat to clean the body and remove symptoms of disease and pain. Ashtanga yoga is taught as a difficult workout where you move quickly from one gesture to another to build strength and patience.In recent years, the World Health Organization has urged countries to help their citizens reduce physical inactivity, which is among the top ten leading causes of death worldwide, and a key risk factor for non-communicable diseases, such as cancer and diabetes. Yoga is a proper exercise. It is known for its ability to ease stress and anxiety. It may also help reduce several risk factors for heart diseases and promote a better sleep.8. Why did the United Nations set the International Day of Yoga?A. To promote the research into Sanskrit.B. To help people know more about India.C. To popularize Yoga practice worldwide.D. To give a declaration on cultural diversity.9. What is Paragraph 2 mainly about?A. The principles of yoga.B. The history of yoga.C. The benefits of yoga.D. An Indian yoga master.10. What will you choose if you’re looking for a challenging exercise?A. Hatha yoga.B. Kundalini yoga.C. Bikram yoga.D. Ashtanga yoga.11. What can we infer from the last paragraph?A. Physical inactivity causes deadly diseases.B. Yoga can help prevent communicable diseases.C. Little or no exercise puts people’s health at risk.D. Yoga can be a cure for many kinds of diseases.DAround 45% of plastic waste is recycled annually in the UK and is on the increase. However, one of the problems with present plastic recycling methods is that you end up with a lower-quality plastic with worse properties (特性) than the original. This means that plastic drink bottles cannot simply be recycled into new drink bottles continuously, but instead are used for other lower-grade products like park benches.Now, British scientists have developed a new method of chemical recycling. They use lower temperatures and more environmentally-friendly starting chemicals than previous methods to turn plastics back into their constituent chemical molecules (分子). In this way, they can be used to make new plastics of the same quality as the original.“Most plastic is now recycled using mechanical methods, where they are transformed into liquids before being made into something new,” said a professor named Matthew Jones. “The problem is, melting plastic changes its properties and reduces the quality. Our method of chemical recycling overcomes this problem. Then plastics can be used all over again without losing any properties.”The researchers are recycling some kinds of plastics, including plant-based PLA, a plastic used for food packaging and PET, which is used for drink bottles. So far, the technology has only been demonstrated on a small range. However, scientists are now working to produce larger quantities of starting chemicals.“There is no single solution to the problem of plastic waste—the approach has to be a combination of reducing, reusing and recycling. Our method of chemical recycling could allow carbon to be recycled endlessly rather than digging more up from the ground in the form of fossil fuels, or letting it into the atmosphere as a greenhouse gas,” said Dr. Paul McKeown from the University of Bath.12. What is the problem with the present plastic recycling?A. The quality of recycled plastics declines.B. Plastic drink bottles cannot be recycled.C. The amount of plastic waste is increasing.D. Recycled lower-grade products sell badly.13. How do scientists recycle plastic waste with the new method?A. By transforming it into fuels.B. By heating it into liquid state.C. By keeping its original properties.D. By changing its molecule structure.14. What can we learn from what Dr. Paul McKeown said?A. Fossil fuels are endless resources.B. The plastic waste problem has no solution.C. Recycled carbon leads to greenhouse gases.D. The chemical recycling is environment-friendly.15. In which part of the website can we find the text?A. Business.B. Tech & Science.C. Lifestyle.D. Arts & Culture.第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5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。

Money was tight and he became infuriated(愤怒的) when the child tried to decorate a box to put under the Christmas tree. Nevertheless, the little girl brought the gift to her father the next morning and said, "This is for you, Daddy."The man was embarrassed by his earlier overreaction, but his anger flared again when he found out the box was empty. He yelled at her, stating, "Don't you know, when you give someone a present, there is supposed to be something inside? " The little girl looked up at him with tears in her eyes and cried, "Oh, Daddy, it's not empty at all. I blew kisses into the box. They're all for you, Daddy."The father was crushed. He put his arms around his little girl, and he begged for her forgiveness.Only a short time later, an accident took the life of the child. It is also told that her father kept that gold box by his bed for many years and, whenever he was discouraged, he would take out an imaginary kiss and remember the love of the child who had put it there.In a very real sense, each one of us, as humans beings, have been given a gold container filled with unconditional love and kisses from our children, family members, friends, and God.

AHumans have been battling viruses since before we had even evolved into our modern form, but we’re a long way from winning the fight against them. Here are a few of the worst killers.Marburg virusScientists identified Marburg virus in 1967, when small outbreaks occurred among lab workers in Germany who were exposed to infected (感染) monkeys. The infected people develop high fevers and bleeding throughout the body. Marburg can be passed on from human to human via direct contact. The death rate is 80% in the 1998—2000 outbreak in Congo and in the 2005 outbreak in Angola.Ebola virusThe first known Ebola outbreaks in humans struck Africa in Sudan and Congo in 1976. The natural host of Ebola is bats. The virus is spread through contact with infected people or animals. Symptoms include fever, bleeding and organ failure. The death rate is 50% to 70%.HantavirusHantavirus was first recognized as an infectious disease in the 1950s in Korea. But it first gained wide attention in the U.S. in 1993, when a healthy young man and his fiancée died within days of developing shortness of breath. Hantavirus was isolated (分离) from a deer mouse. More than 600 people in the U.S. are now infected and 36% have died. The virus doesn’t spread from human to human.Mers-CoV virusMers-CoV virus had an outbreak in Asia, Saudi Arabia in 2012 and South Korea in 2015. The virus likely originated in bats. The disease infected camels before passing into humans and causes fever and shortness of breath. It has a death rate between 30% and 40%, making it the most deadly of the known coronavirus (冠状病毒) family. Mers-CoV spreads from one person to another.1. Which virus caused the highest death rate in a particular area?A. Marburg virus.B. Ebola virus.C. Hantavirus.D. Mers-CoV virus.2. What can we know about Hantavirus?A. It is a type of coronaviruses.B. It was identified in the 21st century.C. It was first found in the United States.D. It only spreads from animals to humans.3. In what sense are Ebola virus and Mers-CoV virus similar?A. They may have the same host.B. They originate in the same continent.C. They belong to the same virus family.D. They have exactly the same symptoms.BIn 2000, when I was seven years old, my family and I were coming back from a T-ball game. In our driveway, we spotted two adult geese and a baby goose. The adults were frightened by our return and flew away, but their baby was still too young to fly. We are no strangers to wildlife, so we avoided physical contact with the baby goose out of fear that it would keep us in its mind and be lost to its family forever.Hours passed, and night fell. The baby goose needed protection, warmth and food. So we had to do something. We brought him onto our back porch (走廊). My sister called the little guy Peeper, because he would follow us making a peeping noise. We also decided that Peeper was a boy.A year passed and we became best friends. Peeper slept on our back porch and used it as a restroom. My dad would spray off his droppings daily with a hose (软管). Part of this routine included Dad throwing Peeper up into the air, letting him fly around the house and come back once the porch was clean. One evening, my uncle came over, and my dad wanted to show him Peeper’s flight. He threw him up in the air, but Peeper just flew off. Everyone was sad. Twenty years passed, and Peeper became a fond memory.Geese live to be around 25 years old and are very loyal, never forgetting their first home. Even so, it shocked me when, in 2019, an old adult goose appeared at my house. After two weeks of the goose coming back repeatedly, I believe this wasn’t a random goose. He did all of the same things Peeper used to and responded to the name Peeper. Much to my amazement, my old best friend had returned, 20 years later.This experience has been as meaningful to me as anything in my life. I hope that my children, someday, have the opportunity to connect with nature and a wild being in this same way.4. Why did the writer’s family avoid physical contact with the baby goose at first?A. They were worried about its health.B. They didn’t know what to do with it.C. They feared being attacked by its parents.D. They didn’t want it to take them as its family.5. Why did the writer’s dad throw the goose into the sky every day?A. To prepare it to fly off some day.B. To clean it by spraying water.C. To have it practice flying skills.D. To show his tricks of training.6. What made the writer recognize the goose?A. Its voice.B. Its appearance.C. Its age.D. Its behavior.7. How does the writer find this experience?A. Discouraging.B. Rewarding.C. Pitiful.D. Entertaining.CIce hockey’s beginning is a little uncertain. It has been tracked back to an Irish game known as hurley by some experts. Others consider ice hockey as having come from lacrosse and field games that were played by Micmac Indians. Still others say that hockey evolved in Northern Europe. At any rate, it is quite likely that ice hockey came into being from different early games played with a stick and a ball.In the 1850s, the first recorded games of ice hockey were played, and in the 1870s, the first set of ice hockey rules were written by a group of students at McGill University in Montreal, Canada. These rules set up the use of a puck (冰球) replacing a ball and decided the number of players to be nine per team. The year 1880 brought the organization of the first amateur hockey league. Over the next several years, ice hockey’s popularity spread across Canada. It was around 1893 that ice hockey was first played in the United States. There have been several ice hockey leagues. The best known is the National Hockey League, which came into being in 1917 in Canada.Ice hockey has the oldest sports trophy (奖杯) in North America. It had become so widespread in Canada that a trophy was presented by the Governor General of Canada to be awarded to the top hockey team. Lord Stanley of Preston was the name of the Governor General, and the trophy became known as the Stanley Cup.Not many changes have been made to the initial rules set forth in the 1870s. The main ones have been the decrease from nine players to six and the progression of new and better equipment. In 1910-11, the game changed from two 30-minute periods to three 20-minute periods. In 1943-44, the red line at center ice was introduced to speed up the game. In 2005-06, goalkeeper equipment was downsized.8. When was the first amateur hockey league formed?A. In the 1850s.B. In the 1870s.C. In 1880.D. In 1893.9. Where did the name of the Stanley Cup come from?A. The top hockey team captain.B. The Governor General of Canada.C. The oldest sports trophy maker.D. The leader of the first hockey league.10. How has the ice hockey sport changed?A. Its initial rules have been given up.B. It has fewer players on a team.C. Its total match time has been reduced.D. It needs much less equipment.11. What’s the text mainly about?A. The rules of the ice hockey sport.B. The great changes of the ice hockey sport.C. The history of the ice hockey sport.D. The development of the National Hockey League.DClimate change leads to a threat to the world’s sandy beaches, and as many as half of them could disappear by 2100, a new study has found. Even by 2050 some coastlines could be unrecognizable from what we see today, with 10% to 12% facing severe erosion(侵蚀).Using updated sea level rise predictions, the researchers analyzed how beaches around the world would be in a future with higher seas and more damaging storms. They also considered natural processes like wave erosion, as well as human factors — like coastal building developments — all of which can affect a beach’s health. The study found that sea level rise is expected to outweigh these other factors, and that the more heat-trapping gases humans put into the atmosphere, the worse the influences on the world’s beaches are likely to be.It’s hard to overstate just how important the world’s beaches are. They cover more than one third of the world’s coastlines, and protect coastal areas from storms. Beaches are also important economic engines, supporting relaxation, tourism and other activities. And in some areas, the beach is more than a vacation destination. In places like Australia, life near the coast revolves around the beach for much of the year.Some of the world’s most popular beaches are already taking action. Places like Miami Beach are trucking in thousands of tons of sand to patch up (修复) badly eroded shorelines, while others have built sea walls and breakwaters in an attempt to hold precious sand in place. But the financial and environmental costs of these projects are huge, and scientists say rising seas and more powerful storms, supercharged by a warmer climate, will make this a losing battle.However, the researchers did find that humans have some control over what happens to the world’s beaches. If the world’s governments are able to stick to modest cuts to heat-trapping gas pollution, the researchers found that 22% of projected beach losses by 2050 could be prevented, a number that grows to 40% by 2100 if greenhouse gases are limited.12. Which is the biggest contributor to severe beach erosion?A. Damaging storms.B. Wave erosion.C. Coastal building.D. Sea level rise.13. What can we infer from Paragraph 3?A. It is hard to protect coastal beaches.B. One third of storms take place near beaches.C. Beaches are of great significance to our lives.D. Most Australians live on beach tourism.14. What does the underlined word “this” refer to in Paragraph 4?A. Popularizing the beaches.B. Holding sand in place.C. Reducing the project costs.D. Stopping global warming.15. What is the best title for the text?A. Half beaches could disappear by 2100.B. Climate change is doing harm to our lives.C. The beach is more than a vacation destination.D. Governments are taking action to fight wave erosion.第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5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。

Facebook hopes they'll be worn to take pictures and short videos, listen to music, and make phone calls, by anyone 13 or older.The glasses, which Facebook had made fun of in the past, start at $299 and come in three styles, and are available to buyers in six countries, including the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom.Hind Hobeika, a product manager for augmentedreality devices at Facebook Reality Labs, told me RayBan Stories are “the first smart glasses that people will want to wear”.Facebook lent me a pair of RayBan Stories with sunglass lenses (镜片) so I could decide for myself. RayBan Stories rely on a companion smartphone app called Facebook View to let you see, edit and share images and videos. It was easy to send pictures to friends via the app.As far as I could tell, nobody noticed anything unusual about the glasses while chasing my kids around a busy playground, even when I was taking numerous short videos. It would have been easy to use these glasses to invade other people's privacy.I spoke with Jeremy Greenberg, policy counsel at the Future of Privacy Forums, about my experience. He said there's “definitely some concerns” that people didn't appear to notice that I was capturing pictures and videos—something that would be more obvious if I had pulled out my phone.“It'll be interesting to see, if this technology becomes widespread, will folks sort of develop that cultural understanding that their images might be taken or videos might be taken?” he asked. “It's real that time will tell.”And after days of trying them out, I still didn't have the sense that I (or anyone, really) need RayBan Stories. You may need eyeglasses or sunglasses, and a smartphone, too. But it's going to be tough for Facebook to convince most people that they haveto have a device that can repeat a few of their phone's features sitting on their face—even one that looks this good.1.What can we learn about RatBan Stories?A.They are intended for adults. B.Each pair is no more than $299.C.Hind Hobeika has confidence in them. D.They are being sold all over the world.2.What can we use Facebook View to do?A.Revise photos.

B.They are unnecessary.C.They will cause trouble. D.They will benefit us greatly.[答题区]Ⅱ.阅读七选五No matter what your goals are in life, there is one great law that you need to obey in order to be successful: no one else is going to climb the ladder (梯子) of success for you. __1__ From the day you leave your parents' house, you are responsible for your life and the choices you make.If you want a better life, you need to make better decisions. __2__ However, it doesn't change anything.

US researchers found that across the continent, conflict was about 50% more likely in unusually warm years.Writing in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences(PNAS), they suggest conflict arises when the food supply is not enough in warm conditions. Climatic factors have been mentioned as a reason for several recent conflicts. One is the fighting in Darfur in Sudan that has killed 200,000 people and forced two million more from their homes. Previous research has shown an association between lack of rain and conflict, but this is thought to be the first clear evidence of a temperature link.The researchers used databases of temperatures across sub-Saharan Africa for the period between 1981 and 2002, and looked for connections between above average warmth and civil conflict in the same country that left at least 1,000 people dead. "Studies show that crop output in the region is really sensitive to small shifts in temperature, even of half a degree or so," research leader Marshall Burke, from the University of California at Berkeley, told BBC News."Our findings provide strong motivation to increase investments in African adaptation to climatechange by such steps as developing crop varieties less sensitive to extreme heat and promoting insurance plans to help protect farmers from negative effects of the hotter climate," said Dr Burke. "If the argument is that the trend towards rising temperatures will increase conflict, then we need to do something around climate change, but more fundamentally we need to resolve the conflicts in the first place."If the sub-Saharan climate continues to warm and little is done to help its countries better adapt to high temperatures, the human costs are likely to be unimaginable. If temperatures rise across the continent as computer models project, future conflicts are likely to become more common, researchers suggest. Their study shows an increase of about 50% over the next 20 years.When projections of social trends such as population increase and economic development were included in their model of a future Africa, temperature rise still emerged as a likely major cause of increasing armed conflict. At next month's UN climate summit (峰会) in Copenhagen, governments are due to debate how much money to put into helping African countries prepare for and adapt to negative effects of climate change.45.According to the passage, which of the following is one of the reasons for the fighting in Darfur in Sudan?A.Shortage of drinking water. B.Racial discrimination.C.Rising temperature. D.Demand for planting land.46.What can we know from the research done by the US researchers?A.There is no close relation between rainfall and conflict.B.Temperature greatly affects crop production in sub-Saharan Africa.C.Temperature will rise by about 50% in Africa over the next two decades.D.With world cooperation, conflicts in Africa will be reduced by half 20 years later. 47.What can be inferred from the passage?A.Something must be done to help sub-Saharan countries with better adaptation to climate change to avoid disaster.B.Conflicts in sub-Saharan countries are sure to be on the rise in future.C.Temperature in sub-Saharan countries will rise at a faster speed.D.High temperatures will make sub-Saharan countries unfit to live in.48.What's the best title for this passage?A.World cooperation against African conflictB.Africa's sufferings from climate changeC.Food shortages lead to African conflictD.Climate drives African conflict附加题15-20每小题l分(涂卡时请特别注意题号)15.A government, which is responsible for society, must to its people how important the method is to prevent AIDS.A.get through B.get on C.get over D.get across16.-Governments at all levels have to take measures to improve the quality of basic education.-Exactly. , students' homework must be greatly reduced.A.That's to say B.What's more C.Believe it or not D.In a word17.If Tom finds a favourite song, he may want to hear it over and over again to the point everyone else is sick of it!A.which B.that C.where D.when18. a US visitor visa twice, the old couple finally gave up their hope of going to America to experience Thanksgiving Day.A.Having been refused B.Being refused C.Having refused D.To be refused 19.So eager a chance to answer questions, little Tommy waved hard and high in class.

"Studies show that crop output in the region is really sensitive to small shifts in temperature, even of half a degree or so," research leader Marshall Burke, from the University of California at Berkeley, told BBC News."Our findings provide strong motivation to increase investments in African adaptation to climatechange by such steps as developing crop varieties less sensitive to extreme heat and promoting insurance plans to help protect farmers from negative effects of the hotter climate," said Dr Burke. "If the argument is that the trend towards rising temperatures will increase conflict, then we need to do something around climate change, but more fundamentally we need to resolve the conflicts in the first place."If the sub-Saharan climate continues to warm and little is done to help its countries better adapt to high temperatures, the human costs are likely to be unimaginable. If temperatures rise across the continent as computer models project, future conflicts are likely to become more common, researchers suggest. Their study shows an increase of about 50% over the next 20 years.When projections of social trends such as population increase and economic development were included in their model of a future Africa, temperature rise still emerged as a likely major cause of increasing armed conflict. At next month's UN climate summit (峰会) in Copenhagen, governments are due to debate how much money to put into helping African countries prepare for and adapt to negative effects of climate change.45.According to the passage, which of the following is one of the reasons for the fighting in Darfur in Sudan?A.Shortage of drinking water. B.Racial discrimination.C.Rising temperature. D.Demand for planting land.46.What can we know from the research done by the US researchers?A.There is no close relation between rainfall and conflict.B.Temperature greatly affects crop production in sub-Saharan Africa.C.Temperature will rise by about 50% in Africa over the next two decades.D.With world cooperation, conflicts in Africa will be reduced by half 20 years later. 47.What can be inferred from the passage?A.Something must be done to help sub-Saharan countries with better adaptation to climate change to avoid disaster.B.Conflicts in sub-Saharan countries are sure to be on the rise in future.C.Temperature in sub-Saharan countries will rise at a faster speed.D.High temperatures will make sub-Saharan countries unfit to live in.48.What's the best title for this passage?A.World cooperation against African conflictB.Africa's sufferings from climate changeC.Food shortages lead to African conflictD.Climate drives African conflict附加题15-20每小题l分(涂卡时请特别注意题号)15.A government, which is responsible for society, must to its people how important the method is to prevent AIDS.A.get through B.get on C.get over D.get across16.-Governments at all levels have to take measures to improve the quality of basic education.-Exactly. , students' homework must be greatly reduced.A.That's to say B.What's more C.Believe it or not D.In a word17.If Tom finds a favourite song, he may want to hear it over and over again to the point everyone else is sick of it!A.which B.that C.where D.when18. a US visitor visa twice, the old couple finally gave up their hope of going to America to experience Thanksgiving Day.A.Having been refused B.Being refused C.Having refused D.To be refused 19.So eager a chance to answer questions, little Tommy waved hard and high in class.

Kevin had been eagerly waiting for the holidays to arrive. His mother had kept on hinting that there would be a big surprise for him during the vacation.Kevin took out his scrapbook (剪贴簿). The exams had just finished, and summer vacation had just started. Now he was free as a bird — free to draw, paint, play basketball, and watch television…anything he wanted to do.Suddenly, the doorbell rang, startling (使惊吓) him.It was his pain of a cousin, Max. “Hi!” screamed Max as he jumped on Kevin’s bed. “I have come to stay here for the holidays.”Kevin had never expected his mother’s surprise to be this bad. If this was the start of his vacation, then the next few weeks were going to be the worst experience of his life.The next few days were horrible for Kevin.After breakfast, Kevin decided to make a painting. Luckily, Max was not around. Kevin spread out all his art supplies and started painting some beautiful scenery. When he was doing the finishing touches, Max entered the room with a Pepsi bottle. He slipped on some water, spilling Pepsi all over the painting and totally ruining it.The next day was even worse.Everything was peaceful until the evening. It all started when Max put the dirty clothes in the washing machine. After some time, Kevin heard some strange sounds from the washing machine. He went to check and found that Max had put his best pair of shoes into the machine, along with the clothes.One day, Kevin was looking through the newspaper when some interesting news caught his attention. He read it aloud: “The world famous philatelist (集邮家) Dick Brown’s stamps were stolen last week from his house. Several other stamp robberies also have taken place, and police suspect that all the robberies are linked.”This piece of news concluded by warning all stamp collectors to keep their stamps safe.Paragraph 1:Kevin had a nice stamp collection, and it was with his friend Alan. He decided to get his stamp album back. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2:On the first blank page of the album, Kevin found there were two small words: Dick Brown.__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________参考答案:语法填空(10×1.5=15):1. positively2. deepen3. a4. which5. with6. were told7. needed8. personal9. aging/ageing 10. their【One possible version】Paragraph 1:Kevin had a nice stamp collection, and it was with his friend Alan. He decided to get his stamp album back in order to keep the stamps safe. But Kevin was not available, so Kevin asked Max to get his album instead. He gave Max Alan’s address and told him several times to be careful. Max left and soon came back with the album without ruining it at all, which really surprised Kevin. However, when Kevin checked it, he found that it was not his album.Paragraph 2:On the first blank page of the album, Kevin found there were two small words: Dick Brown. This was a big surprise for both of them. Actually, Max had gone to another house by mistake. The door of the house was unlocked and nobody was there. Max went into the room and found an album that he didn’t notice was not Kevin’s. Kevin called the police and told them about it. Kevin and Max got a reward for helping to solve the stamp robberies. Kevin soon forgot the horrible things Max had done.。
