The2001foot and mouth crisis closed thousands of farms,stopped meat exports,and raised public consciousness about the troubles on UK farms.Celebrity chef Jamie Oliver’s2005campaign to get children eating healthily also highlighted the issue.This national concern gives hope to farmers competing with powerful supermarkets.While most people buy food from the big supermarkets,hundreds of independent Farmers’Markets are becoming popular.“I started going to Farmers’Markets in direct defiance of the big supermarkets.I seriously objected to the super-sizing of everything–what exactly do they put on our apples to make them so big and red? It’s terrible,”said Londoner Michaela Samson,31.4.What are the challenges that British farmers face according toCharlotte Hollins?a.lonelinessb.thin profitsc.a lack of good equipmentd.long working hours but slow resultsA.abcB.abdC.acdD.bcd5.Why did Oliver Robinson refuse to stay on the farm?A.He hoped for a simpler life.B.He was fed up with a hard farm life.C.Farm life was too demanding though he liked it.D.He hoped for something challenging and rewarding.6.Which of the following can be Farmers’Markets’strong point?A.Lower prices.B.Flexible sizes.C.Convenient location.D.Healthier food.7.What can we conclude from the last two paragraphs?A.Things are improving for independent farms in the UK.B.Farming in the UK can now match the powerful supermarkets.C.Most British people now feel doubtful of foods in big supermarkets.D.Most British people have realized the problems facing farms and begin to save farms.4.B细节题。

Teens living on the coast of South West Thailand.B Teens having a good command of sign language.C.Teens aimed to protect the ecosytem of the ocean.D.Teens wanting to befriend with the sea animals.BWhen Chery Hanbury stepped outside her home the morning after Hurricane Irma swept through her Bradenton, Florida, neighborhood, she expected to see a few of her neighbors out surveying the damage, too, and cleaning up debris. What she did not expect to see was an actual superhero at work.But that's exactly what she spotted when a man in a red and blue outfit using a chainsaw to cu t a tree that had fallen across her road caught her attention “ I thought, OMG! Spider-Man!” she said. “I was shocked. I couldn’t believe what I was seeing.”Hanbury called her family outside to see too, and her husband Alan was able to snap two pictures of the mysterious good Samaritan. " Spider-Man worked the tree, then swung off and jumped in his little black pickup with a friend and flew off " said Hanbury. “I do not know why he was dressed as Spider-Man, nor do I know the name or identity of the masked man.”Hanbury's own two daughters, Ciara, 22, and Skye, 21, are grown, and most of the neighborhood withdrew before the storm, so unfortunately, no children were around to witness the Spider-Man in action. However, Hanbury said he was a welcome surprise and provided a laugh that lifted the spirits of those who experienced the scary storm. "It was a silver lining after waiting a long week for the hurricane to arrive, she said. “People were terrified and exhausted.”Thankfully, the hurricane wasn't as bad as it was predicted for Hanbury's area. “We still have lots of people without power, and my neighbors’ generators ( 发电机) are running at the moment. But for the most part, we just have high numbers of trees and power lines down with much debris, but everyo ne is safe!” she saidNow that her photos are going viral(疯传), Hanbury hopes Spider-Man knows he is cheering the spirits of people in Bradenton and around the world. “To Spider-Man, I英语模拟 5 第2页共9页would like to say, ‘Thank you!’” she said. “I'm glad we have real-life heroes.”4.What was out of Hanbury's expectation?A.The hurricane hit her home town suddenlyB.Her neighbors were evaluating the losses.C.A real-life hero was doing disaster relief workD.Her husband spotted a Spider-Man outdoors5.According to the passage, we can learn thatA. many people managed to leave before the hurricaneB a Hanbury's neighbor was dressed as Spider-ManC. the hurricane caused serious damage to the areaD the superhero wanted to give the children a surprise6.What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 4 suggest?A.Fortunately, the hurricane didn’t arrive a week later as predictedB.After a long week’s waiting people felt very tired and depressedC.People waited in line to welcome the Spider Man to help themD.The hero brought the victims of the hurricane positive energy7.Which can be the best title for the passage?A Hurricane Irma Sweeps Through BradentonB.Real-life Spider-Man Shows up to Help after hurricaneC.Spider-Man Is shot after Hurricane IrmaD Children Wish the Spider-Man to Give a Welcome SurpriseCTime and how we experience it have always puzzled us. Physicists have created fascinating theories, but their time is measured by a pendulum ( 钟摆)and is not psychological time, which leaps with little regard to the clock or calendar. As someone who understood the distinction observed, “ When you sit with a nice girl for two hours it seems like a minute, but when you sit on a hot stove, a minute seems like two hours.”Psychologists have long noticed that larger units of time, such as months and years, fly on swifter wings as we age. They also note that the more time is structured with schedules and appointments, the more rapidly it seems to pass. For example, a day at the office flies compared with a day at the beach.Expectation and familiarity also make time seem to flow more rapidly. Almost all of us have had the experience of driving somewhere we’ve never been before. Surrounded by unfamiliar scenery, with no real idea of when we’ll arrive, we experience the trip as英语模拟 5 第3页共9页lasing a long time. But the return trip, although exactly as long, seems to take far less time. The novelty of the outward journey has become routine.When days become as identical as beads (小珠子)on a string, they mix together, and even months become a single day. To counter this, try to find ways to interrupt the structure of your day-- to stop time, so to speak.Learning something new is one of the ways to slow the passage of time. One of the reasons the days of our youth seems to be full and long is that these are the days of learning and discovery. For many of us, learning ends when we leave school, but this doesn’t have to be.8.What is the underlined sentence in paragraph 1 used to show?A.Psychological time is quite puzzling.B.Time should not be measured by a pendulum.C.Physical time is different from psychological timeD.Physical theory has nothing to do with the true sense of time9.Why do units of time fly faster as we grow older?A.Our sense of time changes.B.We spend less time at the beachC.More time is structured and scheduledD.Time is structured with too many appointments.10.What does “ Novelty” in paragraph 3 probably mean?A.excitementB. unfamiliarityC. imaginationD. amusement11.What is the purpose of the passage?A.To give various explanations about timeB.To describe how we experience time physicallyC.To show the differences of two kinds of timeD.To explain why time flies and how to slow it downDImagine looking at a view of mountaintops and wondering about the name of each peak. Suddenly, above each mountaintop, a name appears on the sky. The words are not written in smoke by skywriting planes. The words are actually not in the sky at all. They come from tiny computers in contact lenses(隐形眼镜)Computers have become smaller and smaller over the decades. The first computers filled houses. Transistors( 晶体管) and then chips allowed computers to become small enough to fit on a desktop, then a laptop, and finally a phone. When experimenting with英语模拟 5 第4页共9页further reductions in size, developers often have to deal with the limits of human eyesight, which control how small the computers can be and still present visible information.One new solution employs microprojectors ( 微投影机) to create a readable display for tiny computers. These machines project computer information onto any surface. Though an impressive breakthrough, there are potential problems. Such public displays can lead to privacy concerns; Most people do not want their information displayed on a wall for everyone to see. Besides, these projectors are extremely expensive, and their screens give users headaches.Babak Parviz, a researcher at the University of Washington, created another solution: inventing a screen visible only to a person wearing a contact lens. Parviz created a computer in a contact lens that uses the wearer's field of vision as the display. To create the display, Parviz took ordinary soft contact lenses with a wirelessly controlled system. At some point, Parviz says, it will be possible to connect the lens to a remote personal computer device such as cellphone or a laptop. By looking in a certain direction, the wearer sends the computer visual information about what he or she sees. The device then uses this information to point out the names of peaks.These contact lenses are inserted and removed in much the same way as ordinary contact lenses. In addition, the computers in the lenses won't block the wearer's sight at all. Although now the computers are not on lenses treating eyesight problems, Parviz hopes that someday the technology will progress to that level.12.What can the contact lenses in the text do?A.Treat eyesight problems of the wearers.B.Offer beautiful views of nature to users.C.Project information on wall surface remotely.D.Show information about what wearers can see.13.According to Paragraph 3, what can the microprojectors do?A. Put people's privacy at risk.B. Save computer information.C. Cause serious illnesses.D. Support users' needs.14.What does the underlined part "that level" refer to in the text?A. Further reducing computers' size.B. Creating the visual information.C. Treating eyesight problems.D. Blocking the wearer's sight.15.What might be the best title for the text?A. Tiny Computers, Amazing Sights.B. Smaller Lenses, Closer Views.C. Progress Towards Clearness.D. Road to the Small World.英语模拟 5 第5页共9页第二节:(共5 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。

It’s been said that JK Rowling wrote the Harry Potter books (21)________(sit) in one in Edinburgh.Many people spend hours in these places nursing a coffee as they work away on their laptops.But if you’re spending all day buying one expensive coffee after another and (22) ________ (not sell)your first novel yet, the costs can really add up. For those who work outside of a traditional office or just want to take time out, there’s a new alternative in London: a pay-per-minute cafe.You can stay for as long as you like in the Ziferblat coffee shop. You'll be given a clockwhen you come in to keep time. When you leave, you return the item and pay the bill. The cost of hanging out, eating, working and meeting new people in the place is 3 pence per minute—or £1.80 an hour.

Each word can onlySnow school closures ‘no harm to learning’Closing schools on occasional days because of bad weather does not damage learning, research shows. The research wanted to find an answer to the winter argument about whether schools should _____31____ to stay open in heavy snow or shut their doors. Seven years of school test data showed no evidence that snow closures negatively affected results. The worst disruption was caused when schools tried to stay open but many staff and pupils were____32_____. The study, carried out by Joshua Goodman, assistant professor of public policy at the Harvard Kennedy School in Massachusetts in the US, was an attempt to ____33_____ the impact of school days lost to bad weather.Almost as soon as the first winter snowflake falls, there are debates about whether schools should be kept open. The study suggests there are _____34____ arguments for them being closed. Prof Goodman was asked by the Massachusetts education department to find out whether there really was any loss to learning from snow closures. Looking at test results in the US state between 2003-10, he found no evidence that pupil _____35____ had been affected when schools were occasionally shut. A former high school teacher himself, Prof Goodman says schools can easily adapt to short-term closures, ____36_____their plans for the rest of the term. Such a clean break seemed to cause less disruption than trying to stay open, when many pupils might not be able to get into school. This creates a knock-on effect of pupils trying to catch up, he says. And this does seem to have a negative impact on results. Prof Goodman says that arguments over a few days of snow closures can often become very “emotional”---and they_____37____ that many pupils miss a greater number of school days through other types of absenteeism, such as____38_____. Such absenteeism by individuals does negatively affect their results, he says, more than an occasional _____39____ closure by the whole school.

To achieve this you have to be_____43____and patient. The only way to develop those _____44____is to get out and race or do long training trips with your team-mates and friends.Adventure races are such a huge ____45_____that when you enter a race you always think, “Am 1 ready? Did I train enough? Did I forget something?” I remember one race in particular, my very first Eco-Challenge and only my second race ever. When I did it, I felt totally _____46____ and unprepared. Most of my fear was due to lack of_____47____ and knowledge. I really had no idea what I was getting in to because I had never done a 24-hour race before. Even so, we won it somehow, and were invited to compete in the Eco-Challenge in Australia.Then we went to Australia and entered the race. We didn’t plan a _____48____ at all, but just ran as fast as possible from the start.

In the show, the host asks a question and gives the contestant four possible answers. If the contestant gets the right answer, they win the money say £100—and then go on to the next question for, say, £250. The money increases for each question until, if the contestant has answered all the other questions correctly, the prize for the final question is one million pounds.In this extract from a show some years ago, the host of the show is television personality Chris Tarrant. Answering the questions is an ex-army officer, Charles Ingram.TARRANT: What kind of garment is an ‘Anthony Eden’?An overcoat, hat,shoe,tie?INGRAM: I think it is a hat.A cough from the audience.INGRAM: Again Tm not sure. I think it is ...Coughing from the audience.INGRAM: I am sure it is a hat. Am I sure?Coughing from the audience.INGRAM: Yes, hat, ifs a hat.In that show, Charles finally won a million pounds. But something wasn’t quite right. Charles Ingram didn't really seem very sure of himself; he obviously didn't know the answer at first. To many in the audience that night, it seemed as if he frequently repeated an answer as if waiting for a signal.He was.Charles Ingram's wife Diana was in the audience, and so too was a man with the extraordinary name of Tecwen Whittock. He had a bad cough. But a man sitting next to him in theaudience noticed that there was something strange about the cough. It was too loud, and it wasn't very regular. It only happened occasionally, almost as if he was coughing on purpose.He was.The three of them, Charles Ingram, Diana Ingram and Tecwen Whittock, had planned the whole thing. Whittock coughed to tell Charles when he had the correct answer. They began to notice it in the television control room, but at first they didn't believe it. In the end, though, it was just too obvious, and when tapes from the programme were played to a court in London a year later, there was no doubt. Charles and Diana Ingram were guilty of cheating on a game show. They were given prison sentences of 18 months and fined £15,000 each. Tecwen Whittock was sentenced to 12 months in prison and fined £10,000.Did the Ingrams and Tecwen Whittock get an appropriate sentence? How ‘bad' is it to cheat a television quiz show in which winning money is a matter of chance anyway? It is crimes like this that challenge our concepts of what is right and what is wrong, and since administering justice in the courts means that we have to decide on how serious something is (is robbery more or less serious than driving too fast, for example), the case of the cheating Ingrams is an excellent one to consider.56.We can learn from the extract of the show that Charles was his answer.A.pleased withB. surprised atC. sure ofD. hesitant over57.The pronoun “He”(in paragraph 7) refers to__________.A.Charles IngramB. Tecwen WhittockC.the man sitting next to Charles IngramD. the man sitting next to Tecwen Whittock58.Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A.The three people were given the same fine and sentence. 'B.Diana Ingrain let Tecwen know which choice was correct.C.Tecwen told Charles which answer was right by coughing.D.It was the Ingrams that made the first plan for the cheating.59.According to the writer, what is the point of the case?A.It can offer a perspective to judge the severity level of crimes.B.It has been the first cheating case that is related to reality shows.C.It achieved the purpose of having the court reconsider the sentencing.D.It may serve as a warning for those who also want to do the same thing.(B)Read the two people’s quotes below and answer the questions that follow.Dr Michio KakuPhysicist and professor40,000 people will work in spaceDr Michio Kaku is a professor at the City College of New York and a graduate of Harvard University. His book, The Physics of the Impossible, is about how science fiction technology may be possible in the future.‘By 2030, space tourism will almost certainly be common and around 40,000 people willwork in space. A company called the Space Island Group is planning to build an international space station with hotels, research facilities, restaurants and sports arenas (for new zero-gravity sports). Other companies are working on similar projects. And what language will people speak in space? Well, it probably won’t matter because there is likely to be a tiny computer that fits in your ear and translates what you hear into your own language/Ray KurzweilScientist, inventor, author and entrepreneur (企业家)Our brains will merge with machinesMany of Ray Kurzweil’s predictions about the future have come true. For example, in the early 1990s he predicted the growth of the Internet. Now Kurzweil believes that robots and humans will one day merge."The future will be far more surprising than most people realise. By the end of the 2030s, robots will be more intelligent than humans. Before that time, humans and machines will start to merge. We have 100 trillion very slow connections in our brain. Tiny robots (nanobots) will be implanted in our brains to improve our memory and our thinking skills. These nanobots will allow our brains to talk directly to computers, and they will also allow our brains to communicate wirelessly with other brains. Billions of nanobots will also travel through our bodies. They will keep us healthy. As a result, we will be able to live forever.'60.According to Dr Michio Kaku, what will no longer be a barrier for people working in space?A.Time.B. Internet.C. Language.D. Gravity.61.According to Ray Kurzweil, what will nanobots do?A.They will help save some of our memories.B.They will help some parts in our brain work better.C.They will help us develop a logic way of thinking.D.They will help detect what disease we are down with.62.Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?A.The future will surprise usB.The development of scienceC.Scientists worried about technologyD.Famous quotes about computers and the Internet(C)Digital assistants with anthropomorphic(拟人的)features, such as Siri, are increasingly common on phones and computers. Developing an emotional relationship with a piece of software can. However, cut both ways. As a study published in Psychological Science by Park Daeun, of Chungbuk National University in South Korea, and her colleagues, shows, one emotion sometimes involved in machine-human interaction is embarrassment.Dr Park and her team recruited 187 participants into their study. To start with each was presented with a series of statements on the changeability of intelligence. These included, “you have a certain amount of intelligence, and you can’t really do much to change it”,and “you can always substantially change how intelligent you are’, . Participants rated their responses to thesestatements on a six-point scale,on which one meant “strongly disagree,’ and six meant “strongly agree'\ The reason for this initial test was that Dr Park knew from previous work that those who believe intelligence to be changeable are comfortable asking for assistance while those who believe it to be fixed often feel ashamed to do so.The initial test done, the researchers presented their volunteers with a second, which involved looking at 16 sets of three words and trying to think of a fourth word that linked them. Sometimes the first three words were accompanied by an unrequested hint. Sometimes they were not.Hints appeared as the written form of the word in question, accompanied by a computer-shaped icon (图标). For half of participants this icon had a humanlike face, and the hint was placed inside a speech bubble originating from that face. For the other half the icon lacked a face and there was no speech bubble. After the final set of words had been displayed, participants were asked to agree or disagree with follow-up statements about their experience, such as 4tit was embarrassing to receive help during the task”, and “others might think I am incompetent(无能的) because I received help during the task”. This time, they quantified their feelings on a seven-point scale, with higher scores representing greater feelings of unease.The researchers found that participants who believed intelligence to be unchangeable felt more embarrassed and more incompetent after the tests. Specifically, those who tended to believe that intelligence is unchangeable were more likely to feel ashamed and embarrassed if the computer icons they had seen giving the hints had had faces and speech bubbles. In contrast, people who strongly believed that intelligence could be changed over time felt the same level of discomfort whether or not the icons had been anthropomorphized.A second experiment, in which a different set of participants were allowed to ask for help rather than having it offered to them at random had similar results. Dr Park therefore concludes that some people do, indeed, seem to wish to avoid losing face by seeking help from an icon that has, well, a face.63.Dr Park and her team’s initial test was intended to__________.A.find out the participants1 opinion of whether intelligence is fixedB.prove the findings of previous work that intelligence changes with ageC.choose from the participants those who are intelligent enough for the testD.highlight those who tend to feel ashamed to reveal how intelligent they are64.Which of the following is TRUE of Dr Park and her team’s second test?A.The participants were asked to sort out the different one among the given words.B.The participants were tested on how they felt about getting help in this way.C.The hints would appear as long as the participants hesitated for some time.D.The hints were given to help the participants how competent they were.65.The first experiment and the second experiment are different in.A.whether participants held the similar beliefs about intelligenceB.whether participants could decide if they need any helpC.whether the help was offered regularly or at randomD.whether the icons are computer-shaped or not66.What can be concluded from the passage?A.More should be done to make digital assistants more human-like.B.People’s idea of intelligence needs to be updated at the moment.C.Embarrassment is among most common emotions people have.D.Digital assistants are sometimes too human to appeal to users.Section CDirections: Complete the following passage by using the sentences given below. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.Quantitative EatingAre you keen on QE (quantitative eating)? Do you have a high marginal propensity(边际倾向)to consume chocolate? Then you might be angered by the diet book, The Economists’ Diet:The Surprising Formula for Losing Weight and Keeping It Off^ from two self-described “formerly fat economists” on how to lose weight.__________A diet is described as a “self-imposed eating-austerity (艰苦朴素)programme”. There is some discussion of people’s general failure to give enough weight to the long-term consequences of their actions. And there is some neat use of the concept of diminishing returns (收益递减).Eat a wide variety of foods and you may always get pleasure from trying something different. But limit your diet and you will soon tire of eating more. 68 The authors think this is more important than exercise since the latter tends to make you hungry; it is easy to undo all the good work of a cycle ride with a snack.Eating less requires you to limit yourself to one square meal (defined as some meat and two side portions of vegetables) a day. The other meals should be very light; a non-creamy soup, a salad or a bowl of non-sugary cereal. If you do end up having a big meal or a treat, then the other meals should be skipped altogether.But the authors are not too prescriptive(规定的) The aim is to find a diet that works for each individual.___________. Only then can you see whether the diet is working.The book is full of perfectly sensible advice, such as avoiding unusual diets, the appeal of “low-fat” foods and the temptation to drink all your calories in the form of fancy drinks, alcohol and sugary coffees. 70 But, as experienced economists, the authors may have realised that, when it comes to diet plans, demand is almost infinite.IV.Summary WritingDirections: Read the following passage. Summarize in no more than 60 words the main idea of the passage and how it is illustrated. Use your own words as far as possible.The dangers of safetyTravelling by road is widely accepted as being the most dangerous way to travel with far more deaths per kilometer than rail, sea or air. In fact, while road traffic injuries represent about 25% of worldwide injury-related deaths, deaths on the road in the UK have been decreasing for some time. We take a look at why the number is decreasing, but why it seems impossible to avoid deaths completely.Over the years, different methods of reducing the number of crashes have been tried. The Locomotive and Highways Act of 1865 introduced the idea of speed limits to the motoring world. Since then, more and more ways of controlling the behaviour of drivers have been introduced, such as one-way streets and traffic signals, as well as compulsory driver testing and licensing. These days, there are many more methods of enforcement, including speed cameras and fines for breaking motor laws.Another solution is to make cars themselves safer in case of an accident. This means the main focus has been on passive safety or crash survival rather than active safety or avoiding crashes. There are many innovations by motor manufacturers, which have made cars safer, such as seat belts, anti-lock brakes and airbags. These improvements have tended to make the driver feel more in control and isolated him/her from the fast-moving and dangerous environment outside the car. It seems strange that as improvements have been made the number of crashes continues to increase.Actually, it is wrong to talk about safe and dangerous cars in this way. The key to this problem is not actually the car, but the driver. In fact, making drivers feel safer is not the solution to the problem, but it is the cause of the problem. As drivers feel safer, it encourages them to drive aggressively and to ignore other road users and therefore increases the number of crashes.V.TranslationDirections: Translate the following sentences into English, using the words given in the brackets.72.请调整一下这张桌子,以适应这个孩子的身高。

2020届新高考英语模拟导航卷(浙江卷)第五卷

2020届新高考英语模拟导航卷(浙江卷)第五卷

新高考英语模拟导航卷(浙江卷)第五卷1、After college I wanted to make a difference in the world, so I joined a non-profit organization and became a volunteer teacher. I hoped to make a positive impact in Namibia. Honestly, my first choice wasn’t Africa,but I am extrem ely grateful that I was sent there.Various tribes(部落) and racial groups live in Namibia, and a number of languages are spoken. When Namibia gained independence in 1990, English became the official language. Teachers were supposed to teach in English, but many lacked the language skills to do so. My job was to train the teachers. Schools were quite bare. Some classrooms consisted merely of sticks stuck in the sand and a metal roof. Because both boys and girls shaved their heads, I learned to distinguish them by their uniforms:girls wore skirts.The students had tiring days. They walked miles to get to school, often barefoot. They also did many daily chores. They fetched water, gathered firewood and cooked meals. Even with their mountains of work, few possessions and little opportunity, these children were joyful. I admired that.This was the first time that I had lived abroad in a different culture and with a host family. Simply getting accustomed to the living conditions was a big adjustment. I had no electricity, running water, phone or Internet. However, I could end each day with a splendid African sunset. And at night,I had an unbelievable,light-pollution-free view of the entire Milky Way. I never thought I would live in such an environment. My experience awakened me to not only the limitations we place on ourselves, but also our amazing ability to adapt.Travel, step outside of your comfort zone and immerse(使沉浸在) yourself in another culture. You won’t regret it.1.Why does the author feel grateful?A.He managed to stick to his choice.B.He was exposed to a different culture.C.He influenced Namibia positively.D.He joined a non-profit organization.2.How does the author find his life in Africa?A.Dull but delightful.B.Tiring but inspiring.C.Dangerous but meaningful.D.Inconvenient but rewarding.3.What is the text mainly about?A.A voluntary experience.B.A country of wonders.C.An influence on Namibia.D.A big adjustment abroad.2、The seabird population on a small British island off the coast of North Devon has increased quickly following the removal of rats.There has been growth in the numbers of Manx shearwaters, puffins and guillemots on Lundy Island 15 years after a conservation project to remove its rats ended. The project was launched in 2003 by the Landmark Trust, the National Trust and the Royal Society for the Protection ofBirds(RSPB) , and aimed to kill the rats because they were the biggest threat to the survival of the birds. A cull(选择性宰杀) costing 50,000 pounds was used to gel rid of 40,000 rats on the island when puffin numbers fell to fewer than 10 pairs.Helen Booker, Senior Conservation Officer for RSPB in South West England, said the organization is delighted with the results. “This study clearly shows how quic kly and positively seabirds respond to the removal of non-native predators(捕食性动物)," she said. "Of course, we had expected major population increases when the project was launched, but the scale of this recovery was far beyond our expectations."Dean Jones, the inspector on Lundy, which is managed by the Landmark Trust, said the recovery of the seabirds was a positive, but that it is important to remain cautious. "It is exciting to see this level of recovery in Manx shearwaters, one of our most important seabirds. In spring the island comes alive at night with the sound of these amazing birds. The increases in puffins, guillemots and razorbills are also very encouraging for the future of seabirds on Lundy and we are maintaining our attention to ensure rat s cannot return lo the island.”A recent study found that nearly 10 percent of endangered bird, mammal, amphibian and reptile species could be saved by culling invasive (侵入的)mammals such as cats and rats on 169 islands. But rat removal programs have been controversial with some animal rights activists, who have argued that the black rat is one of the country’s most endangered mammals.1.Why did the UK carry out the project to remove rats?A.To kill invasive species.B.To save seabirds in danger.C.To keep balance in nature.D.To decrease the rats’ number.2.What do we know about the rat removal project?A.It is favored by animal rights groups.B.It started when guillemots had nearly died out.C.It has protected 10% of species on the UK's 169 islands.D.It contributes to more increases in seabirds than expected.3.What will be done next according to Dean Jones?A.Plan the future of seabirds.B.Speed up the recovery of seabirds.C.Keep a careful watch for rats.D.Continue to drive away rats and cats.4.Where is the text most likely from?A.A news report.B.A research paper.C.A biology textbook.D.A medical magazine.3、Understanding what teens are talking about has been a great problem for parents and teachers for ages. One high school teacher in Massachusetts found a smart solution.James Callahan of Lowell High School created a spreadsheet of all the colloquial(口语的) terms his students have used along with his attempt to define them, and people on social media are having a field day. "I often overhear students in the hallways or classrooms using words or slang terms in their personal conversations," Callahan told reporters. "In order to understand them better and form a relationship with them on a personal level, I started asking them what certain words meant."He even posted online a photo of a four-page document titled "Callahan's Generation Z Dictionary". In the left column, he typed out vocabularies like "sis" and "snack". In the right column, he attempts to define each vocabulary using a formal interpretation of what the students say. For example, "secure(d) the bag" translates loosely into "money received".Some people applauded the professor’s interest in teenage culture. "The typical teacher-student relationship involves a rigid power structure, but in my experience, I've found that students are more engaged and perform better if I am able to reach where they are," Callahan said. Some students say Callahan pulled up the document in class so that the class could help him update the definitions of "bops" and "jams". " Mr. Callahan asked if any enjoyable song is a 'bop' and someone clarified, saying that the song has to be modem with the element of dancing," one of hisstudents said. "Mr. Callahan asked if an old song or a rock & roll piece can be a 'bop' to which a student answered, matter-of-factly :‘No. That’s a jam.'"Surprised at and excited about the fact that the dictionary went viral(广为传播的) online, Callahan said the unofficial guide to teenage language breaks up the lesson, gets the students involved and provides them with some ownership of the dictionary. "Language is so flexible, and every generation creates their own vocabulary bank of slang. The students created it, and 1 am sort of just the recorder!"1.Why did Callahan creat e "Callahan’s Generation Z Dictionary”?A.To better connect with students.B.To improve students' interest in learning.C.To help parents understand children better.D.To change the traditional teacher-student relationship.2.What does Paragraph 3 focus on?A.The name of the dictionary.B.The phrases the dictionary collected.C.The structure of the dictionary.D.The photo posted on the Internet.3.Which might be a "bop" according to Callahan’s dictionary?A.Modern piano music.B.Pop music with dance.C.Classical jazz music.D.Rock & roll music.4、Time after time, I am on different internet forums, and I end up communicating with people who want to start a blog or website and are, “going to get started soon”, "thinking about it", or “still going over my options”, and so on.While a bit of planning and research will serve you well when starting any project, often months later, these same people are “still thinking about it”.While there are many reasons that may stop someone from even starting a project they have in mind, fear being the most obvious, the idea of perfectionism seems to be the second most.①______________There is a proverb, “Tomorrow is often the busiest day of the week.” There is no such thing as the perfect plan. In fact, you spend so much time being concerned about getting everything right and perfect but it wears your initial enthusiasm down. ②______________Yes, you should want to be reaching for excellence, but who starts out with being excellent? Excellence will only come from trial and error.Just make a decision and start following through. Forget trying to be a perfectionist.③______________It comes from the belief that, “anything I do that is less than perfect is not worth doing”. This way of thinking leads to one b ecoming discouraged and then failed even to start your project.To start, just begin with something that is good enough, and then keep working to improve on it. Make a basic plan, take action, and then start improving the actual results. ④______________ Let go of the fear, stop thinking and start doing, and forget starting out with, “it’s got to be perfect.”I’ll leave you with the words of an actual doer, who was not a perfect person, and all his decisions were not perfect. ⑤______________ “You don’t have to see the whole staircase, just take the first step.”A. In fact, perfectionism is an unhealthy belief.B. I’ll provide you with some examples of action.C. Yet the only way to a solution is to start doing.D. However, he is an example to be followed today.E. Once you begin, it’s often less painful to keep working.F. Getting started on a project is not a life and death decision.G. The result is that time passes and so does the perfect moment.5、阅读下面短文,从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中,选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

While other kids ate candy for breakfast, I had to have cereal, eggs and toast. Others had cokes and candy for lunch, while we had to eat a sandwich. As you can guess, my supper was different than the other kids’. But at lea st I was not alone in my suffering. My sister and two brothers had the same mean mother as I did.My mother insisted on knowing where we were at all times. She had to know who our friends were and what we were doing. We had to wear clean clothes every day. Other kids always wore their clothes for days. We reached the height of disgrace because she made our clothes herself, just to save money.The worst is yet to come. We had to be in bed by 9:00 each night and up at 7:45 the next morning. So while my friends slept, my mother actually had the courage to break Child Labor Law. She made us work. I believed she lay awake all night thinking up mean things to do to us. Through the years, our friends’ report cards had beautiful colors on them,black for passing, red for failing. My mother, however, would merely be content with black marks. None of us was allowed the pleasure of being a dropout.She forced us to grow up into educated and honest adults. Using this as a backgroun d, I’m now trying to bring up my three children. I’m filled with pride when my children think I am mean because now I thank God every day for giving me the meanest mother in the world.26.

The passage was written in a way of _________ tone.A. humorousB. hatefulC. ridiculousD. criticalBAs is reported, 113,000,000 Americans have at least one bank-issued credit card. They use credit cards in stores, restaurants, and hotels, at home, across the country, and even abroad. More and more of these credit cards can be read automatically, making it possible to withdraw or deposit money in different places, whether or not the local branch bank is open. For many of us the "cashless society" is not on the horizon----it's already here.While computers offer these conveniences to consumers, they have many advantages for sellers too. Electronic cashregisters(记录器) can do much more than simply ring up sales. They can keep a wide range of records, including who sold what, when, and to whom. This information allows businessmen to keep track of their list of goods by showing which items are being sold and how fast they are moving. Decisions to reorder or return goods to suppliers can then be made. At the same time these computers record which hours are busiest and which employees are the most efficient, allowing personnel and staffing assignments to be made accordingly. And they also identify preferred customer for promotional campaigns. Computers are relied on by manufacturers for similar re asons. Computer analyzed marketing reports can help to decide which products to emphasize now, which to develop for the future and which to drop. Computers keep track of goods in stock, of raw materials on hand, and even of the production process itself.Many other companies, from theaters to magazine publishers, from gas station to milk processors, bring better and more efficient services to consumers through the use of computers.31. According to the passage, the credit card makes its ownerto _______________ .A. withdraw as much money from the bank as he wishesB. obtain more convenient services than other people doC. enjoy greater trust from the storekeeperD. cash money where he wishes to32.
