So it really raises some eyebrows when China announces plans to build an airport that is for birds.Described as the world's first-ever bird airport, the proposed Lingang Bird Sanctuary(保护区）in the northern coastal city of Tianjin is, of course,not an actual airport. Rather, it's a wetland preserve specifically designed to accommodate hundreds-even thousands-of daily takeoffs and landings by birds traveling along the EastAsian-Australian Flyway. Over 50 species of migratory (迁徙的）water birds, some endangered, will stop and feed at the protected sanctuary before continuing their long journey along the flyway.Located on a former landfill site, the 150-acre airport is also open to human travelers.(Half a million visitors are expected annually.) However, instead of duty-free shopping, the main attraction for non-egg-laying creatures at Tianjin's newest airport will be a green-roofed education and research center, a series of raised "observation platforms" and a network of scenic walking and cycling paths totaling over 4 miles."The proposed Bird Airport will be a globally significant sanctuary for endangered migratory bird species, while providing new green lungs for the city of Tianjin." Adrian McGregor of an Australian landscape architecture firm explained of the design. Frequently blanketed in smog so thick that it has shut down real airports, Tianjin is a city---China's fourth most populous----that woul d certainly benefit from a new pair of healthy green lungs•（1）The underlined phrase "non-egg-laying creatures" in Paragraph 3 refers to?A.Visitors.B.Designers.C.Endangered water birds.D.Planes.（2）What do we know about the airport according to the passage?A.People cannot watch birds up close here.B.It is located on a 150-acre landfill site.C.It functions as an actual airport and a wetland preserve.D.It provides migratory birds with food and shelter.（3）What can we infer from the last paragraph?A.The airport will become a permanent home for birds.B.Tianjin will win worldwide fame in the future.C.Tianjin's air quality will improve thanks to the airport.D.Tianjin will be able to accommodate more people.（4）What is this passage mainly about?A.Airports shut down and open up.B.China is to open the first Bird Airport.C.Airports turn into green lungs.D.Birds are no longer enemies to airports.3.阅读理解What do you want to be when you grow up? My answer has always been a vet.We didn't have pets growing up because my mother was scared of animals. She passed on some of this fear to me. It's not common you find someone who's scared of animals but wants to be a vet. Still, I knew this is what I wanted.Vet school was nothing like I had imagined. Within the first few weeks, any fears I had about being a vet vanished (消失). In the fourth year, we were introduced to surgery. I loved it. Stitching (缝) wounds was like a satisfying game of Tetris (俄罗斯方块), where all the pieces fit beautifully together to make something broken whole again. It solidified my belief that this was the right fit for me.These were the most challenging and rewarding two years of my life, and before I knew it, they were over. I was officially a veterinary surgeon (兽医). Surprisingly, I felt empty after I finished. Why wasn't I excited to move on?I had completely forgotten to think about what comes next. I panicked! I felt as if I had spent the last decade of my life writing exams and working crazy hours only to come out on the other side, completely clueless.There were so many options to choose from. I could start a clinic, work at another practice or even pursue further studies. It was my father who suggested I travel to gain some perspective. I hesitantly decided to spend some time in New Zealand with my aunt who also happens to be a vet.New Zealand was beautiful! I finally had a chance to think about what I wanted. One of the vets there allowed me to observe their practice. Working with vet nurses really stood out for me. We don't have vet nurses in India! It is a blessing (幸事) to have such experienced and dedicated individuals as a part of your support system. After a whole year of what felt like aimless wandering (徘徊), this experience helped me decide I wanted to work overseas.So, to all the other confused vets out there who haven't figured things out: It's completely okay to feel confused and lost! Most people feel the same way at some point in their careers. Don't be afraid to try new things even if you feel difficult or impossible.（1）What do we know from the first two paragraphs?A.The author's mother was hurt by an animal.B.Being a vet has always been the author's dream.C.The author kept different kinds of pets as a child.D.Many people in the author's family work as vets.（2）Why does the author mention Tetris in paragraph 3?A.To express how she loved being a vet.B.To prove how challenging vet school was.C.To explain why she loved the game as a child.D.To show the complexity of veterinary surgery.（3）What was the main purpose of the author's trip to New Zealand?A.To start a clinic there.B.To get fresh ideas about her career.C.To visit her aunt.D.To travel around the country.（4）What does the author want to tell us with her story?A.Passion is the key to your career success.B.Travel helps you learn more about yourself.C.Stick to your dream no matter what happens.D.It's important to find yourself again when feeling lost.4.阅读理解Almost everyone has heard the expression "the calm before the storm." It is usually used to describe a peaceful period just before a very stressful situation or a tense argument.British sailors coined the phrase in the late 1600s; they noted that before certain storms the seas would seem to become still and the winds would drop.Science has given us the reason. According to US website HowStuffWorks, a calm period occurs because many storms, tornadoes and hurricanes draw in all the warm and humid(湿热的) air from the surrounding area. As this air rises into the storm clouds, it cools and acts as "fuel for the storm, like petrol in a car". Once the storm has taken all the energy it can from the air, it is pushed out from the top of the storm clouds and falls back down to ground level. As the air goes down, it becomes warm and dry. Warm and dry air is stable, so once it covers an area, it causes a calm period before the storm. This same process also causes the "eye of the storm" in hurricanes and tornadoes. In these conditions, the calm occurs in the center of the storm because of the strong rotating (旋转的) winds.The Weather Network has a tip for working out how far away a storm is. First count how many seconds there are between a flash of lightning and a clap of thunder, roughly three seconds equal one kilometer. So, for example, if you count nine seconds, the storm is about three kilometers away. A good method is that if your count is below 30 seconds, you should seek shelter straight away.However, due to the complexity of storm system, not all storms take place after calm. Given the right conditions, some storms announce themselves with heavy rain and fierce winds.So, your best bet is to keep yourself updated with weather reports for any predictions regarding a coming storm in your area. That's the most reliable way to predict the next display(展示) of nature's temper (脾气). （1）What is the function of Paragraph 3?A.To describe how the eye of the storm comes into being.B.To stress why tornadoes and hurricanes are destructive.C.To explain why a peaceful period occurs before some storms.D.To remind how dangerous a storm can be in certain situations.（2）If you count fifteen seconds between a lightening flash and a thunder clap, the storm may be .A.one kilometer awayB.three kilometers awayC.four kilometers awayD.five kilometers away（3）What can we learn from the text?A.Heavy storms don't usually last long.B.It is not always quiet before a storm.C.Storms have a big influence on our life.D.Weather reports often fail to predict a storm.（4）Where is this text most likely from?A.A travel journal.B.A science fiction.C.A literature review.D.A geography magazine.二、任务型阅读（共1题；共5分）5.任务型阅读More than two million students are graduating from high school this summer, many of whom will head to university in the fall. The transition from high school to college is a major one, and successful adjustment to college has lifelong influences.Maybe you are about to make this transition yourself or have children who are about to leave the nest.________ If you know someone who is making this transition or know parents guiding their soon-to-be adult kids through this time, please take a moment to share this collection of research-based tips with them.________ Even during orientation! Almost everyone is in the same boat as you are, hoping to make friends quickly. Your success in college depends, in part, on surrounding yourself with others who can support you and help you have fun.Don't be afraid to talk to your professors or teaching assistants. Successful adjustment is about reaching out for help when you need it. This means trying to find the answers on your own first, but then contacting those who can help you when you can't. ________Lean on your family. Family support can give you comfort when classes are hard or you are stressed about finals.________ Strong support from family is linked to lower loneliness and depression during the first year of college and higher academic adjustment including motivation and concentration.Be confident. Feeling anxiety about communicating with fellows, professors, and speaking up in class is associated with lower adaptation during the transition to college.________The more you speak up in class, the easier it becomes.A. That is what they are there for!B. This list is exactly what you need.C. Joining clubs is also linked to feelings of belonging at college.D. Be open to making new friends as soon as you set foot on campus.E. Family members can give you advice and help you solve problems if you need help.F. One of the best ways to increase your communication confidence is to practice!G. Your professors and teaching assistants want to see you succeed in their classes.三、完形填空（共1题；共20分）6.完形填空Being able to travel the world is truly an accomplishment of the modem society. 1 , many people take it for granted and miss out on it.

When a library goer scanned Tutu’s QR code, Wangbao seemingly became annoyed, which brought a great amusement to the library goer who posted a video of the exchange that occurred on December 30 and has gone viral on social media.“Tutu, let’s stop fighting, OK?”said Wangbao．“Your mood sure swings a lot!”Tutu said.Wangbao raved, “Aren’t you a drama queen, I’m giving you an out. Stop being petulant!’’The library goer was even more amused, as the two robots grew noisier and angrier with each other, and finally, abruptly turning away from each other like naughty children.“It looks like how you quarrel with your girlfriend, ha-ha. ”one netizen posted.“I see myself from the quarrel, ”wrote another on Sina Weibo, which was echoed by many others.“It’s annoying to hear people arguing, and I didn’t expect I'd have to listen to robots arguing, ”another netizen wrote.The online video was widely circulating on Sina Weibo, with some 500, 000 views as of press time on Saturday. Tutu and Wangbao became internet hot figures, even attracting attention from major news outlets in the country.When the two online celebrities were interviewed by reporters on Friday, the two seems already forgave each other after three days．“It was a thing last year…Isn’t it normal to have quarrels between friends?’’Wangbao said in video posted by the Xinhua News Agency on Saturday.4. What’s the purpose of paragraph one?A. To show how smart the two robots are.B. To increase our awareness of AI technology.C. To introduce the following parts.D. To criticize the quarrel between the two robots.5. What was the library goer’s attitude towards the argument?A. Amazed.B. Entertained.C. Puzzled.D. Excited.6．By presenting some netizens’comments, the author intends to tell us____．A. the fight draws the public’s great attentionB. the fight has an awful effect on people’s lifeC. the fight takes place on a regular basisD. the fight feels like a real one7. Where is the text most likely from?A. A textbook.B. A diary.C. A magazine.D. A website.CAs Australia experiences record-breaking drought and bush-fires, koala populations have declined along with their habitat, leading to koalas becoming“functionally extinct”. The chairman of the Australian Koala Foundation, Tabart, estimates that over 1, 000 koalas have been killed from the fires and that 80 percent of their habitat has been destroyed.Functional extinction is when a population becomes so limited that they no longer play an important role in their ecosystem and the population becomes no longer possible to live.Deforestation and bush-fires destroy the main food source of koalas, the eucalyptus(桉树)tree. An adult koala will eat up to 2 pounds of eucalyptus leaves per day as its main food.Many are asking the Australian government to pass The Koala Protection Act, written in 2016 but never passed into law. The Koala Protection Act would work to protect habitat and trees important to koala as well as protect koalas from hunting.Recent videos of Australians saving koalas has led to increased donation to help burned koalas. The Port Macquarie Koala Hospital set up a Go Fund Me page seeking donations to help the hospital treat injured koalas. To date, they have raised$1. 33 million, well over their $25, 000 goal, which comes from over 30, 000 donors. The funds will also be used for a“Koala Ark”as a refuge for burned koalas to live in healthy habitat.8．According to the first paragraph, what can we know about the drought and bush-fires?A. They are the most serious ones in the history of Australian.B. They have made koalas extinct.C. They have killed 80％of the koalas.D. They brought the most serious influence to Australian.9. When does functional extinction happen?A. When a species becomes extinct.B. When a species is limited to certain habitat.C. When ecosystem no longer plays an important role.D. When the number of a species becomes so small that they have little chance to live. 10．According to the passage, the following statements are true EXCEPT that_____．A. koalas mainly feed on eucalyptus tree leavesB. the Australian government has passed The Koala Protection Act into lawC. The Koala Protection Act is aimed to protect koalas and its habitatD. a good many Australians are quite concerned about koalas11. What can we infer from the last paragraph?A. Some videos require people to donate for koalas.B. Go Fund Me page treated injured koalas.C. Australians have deep love for koalas and donate generously to help them.D. The funds will be used to set up healthy habitat for koalas.DChildren born in the past four decades had the luxury of being the center of their parents’attention. The entire family’s resources were poured into their education and well-being.However, when the same resources are split between two children, the amount distributed to each one is going to shrink.According to the Hangzhou Daily, when there are two children in the family, parents tend to choose public schools instead of private schools, which are usually more expensive．Each child is enrolled in fewer after-school training classes．But having a second child may cure some deep-rooted problems in China’s traditional family education.Having two children in the family can help to prevent one child being spoiled by too much attention, according to People’s Daily. It also spares the only child from the pressure of shouldering parental expectations all alone. Taking care of a sibling also enables children to gain a sense of responsibility, cooperation, obedience and caring.China’s public education system is also expected to shift. Currently, there are not enough vacancies in kindergarten and schools to accommodate the potential increase in children.“It’s not only the enrollment capacity of educational institutions that will feel the pressure．People are also placing more emphasis on the quality of education, ”Peng Xizhe, director of the Population and Development Research Policy Center at Fudan University, told China Education Daily．He predicts the government may have to invest more to support the educational system as a result of the new family planning measure.12. What can children benefit from a two-child family?A. They can have less pressure.B. They can study in private schools.C. They can get much more attention.D. They can take more after-school training classes.13. Which of the following words can replace the underlined word“accommodate”?A. holdB. adaptC. solveD. consider14. What can we infer from Peng Xizhe’s words?A. People are placing more emphasis on the quality of education.B. The government may have to invest more to support the educational system.C. The new family planning measure will challenge the current educational system.D. The educational institutions will feel the pressure that their capacity is not enough.15. What is the purpose of this text?A. To show benefits of owning two children.B. To persuade people to bear more children.C. To encourage people to have only one child.D. To introduce the impact of two-child policy.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。

Lancom claims that it is unique in its ___________.（）A. personalised coursesB. multiple languagesC. pricing policyD. service teamBBaggy has become the first dog in the UK—and potentially the world—to join the fight against air pollution by recording pollutant levels near the ground.Baggy wears a pollution monitor on her collar so she can take data measurements close to the ground. Her monitor has shown that air pollution levels are higher closer to ground level, which has helped highlight concerns that babies and young kids may be at higher risk of developing lung problems.Conventional air pollution monitors are normally fixed on lampposts at about nine feet in the air. However, since Baggy stands at about the same height as a child in a pushchair（婴儿车）, she frequently records pollution levels which are much higher than the data gathered by the Environment A gency.The doggy data research was the idea of Baggy's 13-vea-old owner Tom Hunt and his dad Matt. The English youngster noticed that pollution levels are around two-thirds higher close to the ground than they are in the air at the height where they are recorded by the agency. Tom has since reported the shocking findings to the government in an attempt to emphasise that babies are at higher risk of developing asthma（哮喘）.Matt Hunt said he was "very proud" of his son because “when the boy gets an idea, he keeps his head down and gets on with it, and he really does want to do some good and stop young kids from getting asthma."“Tom built up a passion for environmental protection at a very early age," Matt added. “He became veryinterested in gadgets（小装置）. A bout one year ago, he got this new piece of tech which is like a test tube. One Sunday afternoon, we went out to do some monitoring, and he said, why don't we put it on Baggy's collar and let her monitor the pollution？'So we did it."Tom said, "Most of the time, Baggy is just like any other dog. But for the rest of the time she is a super dog, and we are all really proud of her."24. With a monitor on her collar, Baggy can ____________.（）A. take pollutant readingsB. record pollutant levelsC. process collected dataD. reduce air pollution25. What can we learn from the Baggy data? （）A. High places are free of air pollution.B. Higher pushchairs are more risky for kids.C. Conventional monitors are more reliable.D. Air is more polluted closer to the ground.26. What is Tom's purpose of doing the research? （）A. To wan of a health risk.B. To find out pollution sources.C. To test his new monitor.D. To prove Baggy's abilities.27. According to the passage, which word can best describe Tom Hunt?（）A. Modest.B. Generous.C. Creative.D. Outgoing.CIn May 1987 the Golden Gate Bridge had a 50th birthday party. The bridge was closed to motor traffic so people could enjoy a walk across it. Organizers expected perhaps 50,000 people to show up. Instead, as many as 800, 000 crowded the roads to the bridge. By the time 250,000 were on the bridge, engineers noticed something terrible：the roadway was flattening under what turned out to be the heaviest load it had ever been asked to carry. Worse, it was beginning to sway（晃动）. The authorities closed access to the bridge and tens of thousands of people made their way back to land. A disaster was avoided.The story is one of scores in To Forgive Design：Understanding Failure, a book that is at once a love letter to engineering and a paean（赞歌）to its breakdowns. Its author, Dr. Henry Petroski, has long been writing about disasters. In this book, he includes the loss of the space shuttles（航天飞机）Challenger and Columbia, and the sinking of the Titanic.Though he acknowledges that engineering works can fail because the person who thought them up or engineered them simply got things wrong, in this book Dr. Petroski widens his view to consider the larger contextin which such failures occur. Sometimes devices fail because a good design is constructed with low quality materials incompetently applied. Or perhaps a design works so well it is adopted elsewhere again and again, with seemingly harmless improvements, until, suddenly, it does not work at all anymore.Readers will encounter not only stories they have heard before, but some new stories and a moving discussion of the responsibility of the engineer to the public and the ways young engineers can be helped to grasp them."Success is success but that is all that it is," Dr. Petroski writes. It is failure that brings improvement.28. What happened to the Golden Gate Bridge on its 50th birthday? （）A. It carried more weight than it could.B. It swayed violently in a strong windC. Its roadway was damaged by vehiclesD. Its access was blocked by many people.29. Which of the following is Dr. Petroski's idea according to paragraph 3? （）A. No design is well received everywhereB. Construction is more important than design.C. Not all disasters are caused by engineering designD. Improvements on engineering works are necessary.30. What does the last paragraph suggest? （）A. Failure can lead to progress.B. Success results in overconfidenceC. Failure should be avoided.D. Success comes from joint efforts.31. What is the text? （）A. A news reportB. A short story.C. A book reviewD. A research article.DRainforests are home to a rich variety of medicinal plants, food, birds and animals. Can you believe that a single bush（灌木丛）in the Amazon may have more species of ants than the whole of Britain! About 480 varieties of trees may be found in just one hectare of rainforest.Rainforests are the lungs of the planet-storing vast quantities of carbon dioxide and producing a significant amount of the world's oxygen. Rainforests have their own perfect system for ensuring their own survival; the tall trees make a canopy（树冠层）of branches and leaves which protect themselves, smaller plants, and the forestanimals from heavy rain, intense dry heat from the sun and strong winds.Amazingly, the trees grow in such a way that their leaves and branches, although close together, never actually touch those of another tree. Scientists think this is the plants' way to prevent the spread of any tree diseases and make life more difficult for leaf-eating insects like caterpillars. To survive in the forest, animals must climb, jump or fly across the gaps. The ground floor of the forest is not all tangled leaves and bushes, like in films, but is actually fairly clear. It is where dead leaves turn into food for the trees and other forest life.They are not called rainforests for nothing! Rainforests can generate 75%of their own rain. At least 80 inches of rain a year is normal-and in some areas there may be as much as 430 inches of rain annually. This is real rain-your umbrella may protect you in a shower, but it won't keep you dry if there is a full rainstorm. In just two hours, streams can rise ten to twenty feet. The humidity（湿气）of large rainforests contributes to the formation of rainclouds that may travel to other countries in need of rain.32. What can we learn about rainforests from the first paragraph? （）A. They produce oxygen.B. They cover a vast area.C. They are well managed.D. They are rich in wildlife.33. Which of the following contributes most to the survival of rainforests? （）A. Heavy rainsB. Big trees.C. Small plants.D. Forest animals.34. Why do the leaves and branches of different trees avoid touching each other? （）A. For more sunlight.B. For more growing space.C. For self-protection.D. For the detection of insects.35. What can be a suitable title for the text? （）A. Life-Giving RainforestsB. The Law of the JungleC. Animals in the AmazonD.

In America, drivers’ education is part of the regular high school curriculum. Every student in his or her second year of high school is required to 1 a class in drivers’ education.However，unlike other 2 ，it is not given during the 3 school year. Instead it is a summer course. The course is divided up into two parts：class time for learning laws and 4 and driving time to practice driving. Class time is not unlike any other class.

Thus，each student gets half an hour driving time per outing. The instructor and “driver” sit in 9 seats and the other three students sit in the back.Drivers’ ED cars are unlike other cars in which they have two setsof brakes，one on driver side and one on the other side where the 10 sits. Thus, if the student driver should run into 11 , the instructor can take over. The car also has another 12 feature. On the top of the car is a sign that 13 ：STUDENT DRIVER. That lets nearby drivers know that they should be especially 14 because the student driveris a beginning driver，not very experienced and intended to drive 15 . 1. A. give B. take C. start D.seat2.

But there may be a(n) 41 to doing so, as a study has claimed that 3D films exercise the brain and improve short-term functioning in a similar way to brain-training tests.The research was led by neuroscientist(神经科学家) Dr Patrick Fagan from Goldsmiths University in London. More than 100 people took part in the experiment, where participants watched Disney film Big Hero6 in either 42 type or RealD 3D. They also carried out a brain-training-style test before and after seeing a part from the film. The test covered memory, reaction time and cognitive (认知的) function, and the results were later 43 .According to the research, participants 44 a 23 per cent increase in cognitive processing, as well as an 11 percent increase in reaction time.Dr Fagan said that the results showed enough of an improvement in brain function to suggest that 3D could play a part in improving brain 45 in the future. “These findings are more significant than youmight think,” he said. “It is a fact that people are living longer and there is a(n) 46 decline in cognitive brain function in old age which can damage future quality of life. There has never been a better time to look at ways to improve brain function. The initial results of this study indicate that 3D films may 47 play a role in slowing this decline.”A second part of the experiment involved those watching the film being fitted with headsets(耳机)that48 brain activity and this too showed heightened activity when watching 3D. According to the results, participants were seven percent more engaged with what they were watching, adding to the argument that 3D movies are more like watching real-life-something. “A seven percent rise in emotional engagement is 49 remarkable. Watching in 3D gives the viewer such an enriched and quality experience, as these results show,” he said. “In evolutionary 50 , the results of both parts of the test certainly make sense. 3D films are more likely to heighten the senses and cause emotional arousal—this, in turn, makes the brain run at quicker speeds,” Dr Fagan added.III. Reading ComprehensionSection ADirections: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, Cand D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.Researchers recently find w omen likely face work environments that push against the “having it all” mentality, leading to feelings of guilt and depression.Trying to have it all could be bad for your mental health, according to a new study that finds that “supermoms” have higher rates of depression compared with working moms who let things 51 .The research, presented Aug. 20 at the annual meeting of the American Sociological Association in Las Vegas, finds that working is 52 for mothers’ mental health. But among working mothers, the least depressed are those who don’t expect to 53 work and family life perfectly, said study researcher Katrina Leupp, a graduate student at the University of Washington in Seattle.“The ideal that women can do it all actually 54 the level of depressive symptoms compared to women who were more doubtful about whether or not work and family c an be balanced,” Leupp told LiveScience.Leupp analyzed survey 55 from 1,600 married women who participated in a large survey called the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth. In 1987, the women answered questions to judge their support of women’s 56 , including whether they agreed with statements such as “Women are much happier if they stay at home and take care of their children.”In 1992 and 1994, the now 40-year-old women answered questions about their symptoms of depression. Like earlier studies, the survey data indicated that women who worked outside the home had fewer symptoms of depression, perhaps because outside work giveswomen more 57 interaction, more varied activities and a larger income, Leupp said.Among the employed women, though, the cheeriest were those who had indicated in their younger years the least 58 for women balancing career and family. The results held even after controlling for earlier levels of depression.“Somewhat 59 , women who don’t expect to be able to balance work and family have better mental health than those who do,” Leupp said.The study didn’t explain why optimistic (乐观的) views of balancing work and motherhood would60 later depression. “The reason may come down to 61 and real-world work environme nts,”Leupp said. “Women who expect to have it all probably come up against 62 that aren’t designed with work-life balance in mind. When they can’t balance everything perfectly, these supermoms are more likely to feel 63 .”“I think this research rea lly speaks to a 64 between women’s expectations and the actual structure of the workplace,” Leupp said.“The takeaway for working moms is to temper their optimism about balancing 65 and employmentand not to blame themselves if they struggle. Recognize that if it feels difficult, it’s because it is difficult.”51. A. happen B. continue C. slide D. end52. A. good B. ready C. hard D. possible53.

For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits bestaccording to the information given in the passage you have just read.（A）The twenty-four horses dash around a racetrack. The thunder of their hooves (蹄) rings in the riders’ears, nearly drowning out the cheering of the crowd. After three or four minutes of suspense, one horse crosses the finish line first, winning the Melbourne Cup and earning a place in history.The horses that compete in the Melbourne Cup—one of the world’s most famous horseraces—were fated to race. Bred for speed, these horses are the few that were singled out as having potential to become champions.Preparing a racehorse to compete requires a team. A horse’s owner manages the team and decides which races to enter. A trainer determines the racehorse’s diet and exercise. Regular exercise makes a horse less likely to be injured, but overtraining tires the horse. A groomer (动物美容师) cares for the racehorse and reports any problems he discovers to the trainer. And of course, no horserace could be run without a rider. These riders train for long hours and travel constantly from one race to another. They need to make a strategy, adapt to changing conditions and communicate with their horse to guide it to victory.Australia’s most famous horserace, the Melbourne Cup, is 3,200 meters of pure excitement. Each year 300 or 400 horses are nominated(提名), but only 24 can run. The competitors are chosen based on a number of factors, but winners of certain races qualify automatically.Each racehorse receives a handicap—a certain weight it must carry to give each horse an equal chance of winning—two months before the race. Originally, horses that seemed likely to win were assigned larger handicaps. But the rules have changed, reducing the handicap for previous winners.The first Melbourne Cup in 1861 drew a crowd of 4,000 spectators, and the race’s popularity has grown since then. Held on the first Tuesday of November, the cup has become a four-day festival with fine food and entertainment.The Melbourne Cup began during a gold rush as a form of entertainment for the rich. Today it still attracts society’s upper class. They come dressed in their finest to enjoy the event in comfort.But anyway it’s all about the race—the effort of horses and riders, the suspense and the thrill of victory.66. What can be learned about the horses in the Melbourne Cup?A. They are all winners of a certain race.B. They are raised and trained by joint effort.C. They are chosen from ordinary horses.D. Their fates are determined by their trainers.67.

The exhibits in “From Ballyhosset to Bengal” have long belonged to the museum.（C）Fed up with constantly having to recharge or replace batteries in your ever-expanding electronic devices? The solution may be just a few steps away.“Energy harvesting”promises to power countless consumer devices, often with nothing more thanyour body’s movement or heat. Dozens of companies around the world already offer such products, but many experts believe the market for the technology could explode due to electronic devices being developed for the Internet of Things.“It’s huge,”said Graham Martin, CEO of the EnOcean Alliance, a San Ramon-based group of businesses that promotes wireless energy-harvesting technologies. With the Internet of Things expected to combine billions of devices, “if they are all battery-powered, we’ll have a problem because there’s not enough lithium (锂) in the world,” he added. “So a lot of them will have to use energy harvesting.”Among the most basic forms of the technology is body power. When certain materials are squeezed or stretched, the movement of their atoms creates an electrical charge. Automatic watches have employed the concept for decades, for example, by winding themselves when their user moves their arm. Now, the concept is being considered for a number of other devices.In a contest seeking visionary ideas for wearable technologies, Intel awarded $5,000 for a concept to change the temperature difference between a person’s body and a special piece of clothing they’d wear into electricity for mobile devices.Using sound to power devices is another energy-harvesting variation. Stanford University engineers are testing smart microchips (芯片) that create electricity from ultrasound (超声波) to power implantable (可植入的) devices that can analyze a person’s nervous system or treat their diseases.A textile (纺织品) research association in Spain is proposing to obtain electricity from radio waves that flow around everyone to power sensors sewn into clothes, which can monitor a person’s heartbeat or other vital signs.Research firm IDTechEx has estimated that annual global sales of energy-harvesting products could hit $2.6 billion by 2024, while WinterGreen Research predicts sales of $4.2 billion by 2021.Obtaining stable energy from devices can be complex, however. For one thing, the motion that generates the electricity has to be constant to be useful. Moreover, the amount of power the devices produce depends on the person using them, according to a ColumbiaUniversity study. It determined that taller people on average provide about 20 percent more power than shorter ones when walking, running or cycling.It’s also unclear how eagerly consumers might welcome energy-harvesting products. While such devices are expected to cost less than battery-powered alternatives when compared over many years, experts say, people may continue buying ones with batteries merely because those would be cheaper in the short term.74. Which “explode”in the following sentences has the most similar meaning to the word “explode”inParagraph 2?A. They were clearing up when the second bomb exploded.B. The continued tension could explode into more violence.C. The population exploded to 40,000 during the last tourist season.D. The boss exploded when he heard of the resignation of the secretary.75. What makes “energy harvesting” necessary according to the passage?A. The waste of lithium in the world.B. The increasing number of electronic devices.C. The development of technology.D. The pollution caused by batteries.76. It can be learned from the passage that _____.A. energy-harvesting products save money in the long runB. taller people can surely produce a larger amount of powerC. automatic watches harvest energy from the user s’ body heatD. two ways of harvesting energy are mentioned in the passage77. Which of the following might be the best title for the passage?A. Energy harvesting: a low-risk technologyB. Energy harvesting: a high-profit technologyC. Energy harvesting: a problem-free technologyD. Energy harvesting: an environment-friendly technologySection CDirections: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in thefewest possible words.Want to attractand keeptop talent? Here’s a suggestion: Make a flexible work schedule part of the deal.Asurvey this summer of 1,215 U.S. managers and employees across a variety of industries, by EY (formerly Ernst & Young), found those aged 18 to 32 rank flexibility among the perks (特殊待遇) they want most, with 33% saying they wouldn’t work anywhere that didn’t offer it. But it seems those aged 33 to 48value flextime even more: 38% of them consider it non-negotiable, with men who said so, at 40%, slightly outnumbering women (37%).“Companies first started offering flexible schedules, in the late 80s and the 90s, as a way to recruit (招募) and keep talented women, but it’s gone way beyond that now,” observes Karyn Twaronite, an EY partner who came up through the tax side of the business.Noting that both men and women, in all age groups, ranked flextime(弹性工作制) tops among non-cash perks, Twaronite adds, “That result mirrors exactly what we’re seeing here at EY.” The accounting and consulting giant, No. 57 on Fortune’s Best Companies to Work For, has had thousands of employees working flexible schedules for years—including, since 2004, six weeks’ of paid leave for new dads.“Flextime may have started out as a women’s issue, but it’s changed into something that people of both sexes have come to expect,” he adds. “I think it’s partly because of the large nu mber of two-career households now, where people have to adapt to two demanding professional schedules instead of just one.”The EY survey suggests that, in the next decade or so, the opportunity for a life outside the office will become an even bigger draw than it already is. Most of those surveyed still work a set schedule, the report notes, but “respondents expect a shift in the coming years to more flexible hours, as 62% currently work standard office hours and only 50% expect to do so in five to ten yea rs.”That doesn’t surprise Twaronite. “Work is changing,” she observes. “The technology to connect anywhere and anytime means that people are expected to be on call 24 hours a day, especially in global companies that operate across different time zones. The other side of that is that employers are adapting to people’s lives outside of work—because they have to be.”(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS.)78. What is the main finding of the survey?79. Flextime was originally aimed at _____.80. The result of the survey is caused by the fact that _____.81.

Caffeine can improve memory among honeybees and lead to better pollination(授粉). According to a recent study published in the journal Science.The study was conducted by a team of researchers at Newcastle University in the United Kingdom. They found that the nectar(花蜜) of some flowers, such as those from grapefruit and lemon plants, as well as certain coffee flowers, contains low doses of caffeine. To get bees to feed on these flowers, the team trained the insects to associate food with the smell of the flowers. They also trained another group of bees to feed on nectar from flowers that were sweetened with a sugar, but did not contain caffeine. After 24 hours, the bees trained on caffeinated flowers returned to these plants three times as often as those trained on the sweetened flowers returned to the uncaffeinated plants.Professor Geraldine Wright led the researchers. “Remembering floral traits (花部特征) is difficult for bees to perform at a fast pace as they fly from flower to flower and we found that caffeine helps the bee remember where the flowers are,” Wright said in a statement.Improved memory led to the better pollination. That’s because once bees sip the caffeine nectar, they continue to look for more coffee plants to pollinate. This also suggests that caffeine plays a role in improving the bees’ ability to search for food.Researchers found that caffeine’s effect on the bee brain is similar to its effect on mammals. “The change is similar to that produced by caffeine in neurons (神经元)”associated with learning and memory in the rat brain,” Wright said.Bee populations have declining since xx. The dramatic drop in the insects’ numbers has serious effects for ecosystems and the farming industry. Bees are needed in the reproduction of crops and spreading wild flower species. Understanding what keeps bees buzzing could help to make sure that the insects are able to remember and pollinate their favorite flowers.56. Which of the following is mentioned in the passage?A. Caffeine has no effect on the rat brain.B. Bee population has been increasing.C. The nectar of lemon plants contains caffeine.D. Bees dislike nectar from sweetened flowers.57. After reading the passage, John, who works in the farming industry, will probably feel________.A. annoyedB. angryC. nervousD. excited58. Which of the following relationship is correct according to the passage?A. improved memory — caffeine nectar — better pollinationB. caffeine nectar — improved memory — better pollinationC. improved memory — better pollination — caffeine nectarD. caffeine nectar — better pollination — improved memory59. We can know from the passage that ________.A. the rat is a mammalB. caffeine has nothing to do with memoryC. bees are good at remembering floral traitsD. Geraldine Wright did the research on his own60. What section of a newspaper may this passage be taken from?A. ScienceB. EducationC. CultureD. SportsBIf you’re thinking about reaching for another biscuit to get you through the working day, think again. Eating unhealthy snacks at your desk makes you pile on almost half a stone a year, a survey has revealed. The waistlines of women suffer the most, with the average female putting on 6lb 3oz – the equivalent of a whole dress size – while men see their weight increase by 5lb 2oz.The report into our eating habits found that, on average, we eat at least two snacks a day, with 30 per cent of us tucking into three or more. Women admit eating more than men, with a further 13 per cent of ladies scoffing four or more snacks a day. The research, by The Village Bakery, found biscuits are the most mon vice, with 42 per cent regularly opening a pack, closely followed by chocolate (38 per cent), crisps (32 per cent) and cakes (13 per cent).And office workers are worse than most. Cakes and biscuits brought into work by colleagues are one of the main temptations office staff give in to. In addition, 33 per cent admit reaching for nibbles to cope with stress and 22 per cent say they need a sugar rush to perk them up in the afternoon.Simon Staddon, of The Village Bakery, said: “We were aware time-poor office workers can find it difficult to easily access a nutritional lunch. But we were really shocked by the extent to which ‘quic k fix' lunches are affecting weight gain and general wellbeing. Popular mid-afternoon pick-me-ups such biscuits, chocolate and cakes are high in calories, fat and full of sugar, all of which affect your blood sugar levels and ultimately lead to weight gain.”The survey of 2,000 British men and women suggests we are often ashamed of our unhealthy eating. Twenty-four per cent of Britons admit lying about how many snacks they eat with 33 per cent of women lying, pared to 20 per cent of men. Unfortunately, it's not as if we are likely to do anything positive to counteract the sweet treats.61. According to the passage, women usually put weight on first ________.A. on the faceB. on the legsC. on the feetD. in the middle62. What’s the main reason of eat ing snacks in office?A. Colleagues eat them to save money.B. Staff use them to cope with their lunch.C. Colleagues often bring them to office.D. Bosses invite staff to eat them.63. Why do office workers eat a “quick fix” lunch?A. Because it has much of nutrition.B. Because it has little effect on weight gain.C. Because it has little effect on general wellbeing.D. Because they have short time to have their lunches.64. It can be inferred that British women are ________.A. less likely to lie on snacks than menB. more likely to lie on snacks than menC. more ashamed of eating snacks than menD. less ashamed of eating snacks than men65. What does the underlined word possibly mean?A. act againstB. appeal toC. cope withD. get inCA scientist turns out to be able to see the future by offering each of some four-year-olds a piece of candy and watching how he or she deals with it. Some children reach eagerly for the treat they see. Some last a few minutes before they give in. But others are determined to wait until the last moment.By the time the children reach high school, something remarkable has happened. A survey found that those who as four-year-olds had enough self-control to hold out generally grew up to be more popular, adventurous, confident and dependable. The children who gave in to temptation(诱惑) early were more likely to be lonely, easily frustrated and inflexible(顽固的)．Actually, the ability to delay reward is a sign of emotional intelligence which doesn't show up on an IQ test.The hardware of the brain and the software of the mind have long been scientists' concerns. But brain theory can't explain what we wonder about most, like the question why some people remain upbeat in the face of troubles that would sink a less resistant soul.Here es the theory of Daniel Goleman, writer of Emotional Intelligence: when it es to predicting people's success, brain ability measured by IQ may actually matter less than the qualities of mind once thou ght of as “character”．EQ is not the opposite of IQ. What researchers have been trying to understand is how they work together; how one's ability to handle stress, for instance, affects the ability to concentrate and put intelligence to use. Among the ingredients (要素) for success, researchers now generally agree that IQ counts for about 20%; the rest depends on everything from social class to luck.While many researchers in this relatively new field are glad to see emotional issues finally taken seriously, some few fear EQ causes misuse.66. The experiment with the four-year-olds makes it clear that ________.A. the age of 4 is a proper time for scientific experimentB. emotional intelligence won't show up until adolescenceC. the ability of self-control plays a role in personal successD. candy can be used to measure a person's emotional intelligence67. Which of the following is TRUE of EQ and IQ according to the text?A. There is no link between EQ and IQ.B. The higher a person's IQ is, the higher his or her EQ is.C. Some people can be blessed with lots of both, but some with little of either.D. Scientists are trying to discover the way in which EQ and IQ work together.68. The underlined word “upbeat” in Paragraph 4 probably means “________”.A. kindB. floatingC. excitedD. optimistic69. Why does the author mention the experiment at the beginning of the text?A. To amuse both the children and readers.B. To prove the scientist’s wisdom.C. To introduce the topic of the text.D. To show us how to do an IQ test.70. What is most likely to be written in the paragraph that follows?A. Information about famous people with high EQ.B. Examples showing the opposite voice about EQ.C. Some reasons why EQ is relatively new field.D. Strong demands for basic emotional education.Part IV Writing （45 marks）Section A （10 marks）Directions: Read the following passage．Fill in the numbered blanks by using the information from the passage.Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer.The X- Factor (英国偶像), Britain's got talent（英国达人）, American Idol（美国偶像）and Super girl, TV talent shows are popular all over the world.There are many reasons for that. To start with, the show can make the contestant(选手) famous overnight. Susan Boyle was an ordinar y English woman before she appeared on Britain’s Got talent, in which she sang “I Dreamed a Dream”. The video clip (片段) of her performance was viewed more than 50 million times within a few weeks. Second, the show offers a good opportunity to display one’s talents. Third, everybody has a fair chance to be involved in the show regardless of the age and background. Even if you can’t perform in the show, you can vote for your favorite contestant through cell phones and the Internet. Fourth, the fun and humorous style also appeals to young people. Last but not least, the modern media such as TV and the Internet contributes greatly to its rapid popularity.However, many people express concerns about TV talent shows. They argue that the TV talent show misleads the young people and makes them believe that they can bee famous overnight. Some think the show only creates entertainers rather than artists, because many winners have little idea about real music and acting. What’s worse, some judges even humiliate (羞辱) and laugh at contestants. One contestant from American Idol mitted suicide because she couldn’t stand the rejection and humiliation. Even the winners suffer. Susan Boyle suffered a nervous breakdown soon after the show, because she was unable to deal with the pressure.Many countries have realized the problems and taken some steps to regulate the show. The UK requires that contestants younger than 16 not be allowed to participate. China bans TV talent shows to be broadcast during the prime time. In the USA, some insulting judges are punished.Section B （10 marks）Directions: Read the following passage, answer the questions according to the information given in the passage.Generosity and kindness does not mean that you give only when you have a lot or after fulfilling all your needs, but in fact you can still give when you yourself are struggling. Generosity literally means willingness and liberty in giving away one’s own money, time, talent, etc. sincerely without any personal gain as shown in the following story.Mahatma Gandhi went from city to city, village to village collecting funds for the Charkha Sangh. During one of his tours he addressed a meeting in Orissa. After his speech a poor old lady got up. She was gone with age, her hair was grey and her clothes were in rags. The volunteers tried to stop her, but she fought her way to the place where Mahatma Gandhi was sitting.“I must see him,” she insisted. She went up to Mahatma Gandhi and touched his feet. Then from the folds of her sari(卷布), she brought out a copper coin and placed it at his feet. Mahatma Gandhi picked up the copper coin and put it away carefully. The Charkha Sangh funds were under the charge of Jamnalal Bajaj. He asked Mahatma Gandhi for the coin but Mahatma Gandhi refused.“I keep cheques worth thousands of rupees (卢比) for the Charkha Sangh,” Jamnalal Bajaj said laughingly, “yet you won’t trust me with a copper coin.” “This copper coin is worth much more than those thousands,” Mahatma Gandhi said. “If a man has one hundred thousand rupees and he gives away a thousand or two, it doesn’t mean much.” “But this coin was perhaps all that the poor lady possessed. She gave me all she had. That was very generous of her. What a great sacrifice she made. That is why I value this copper coin more than ten millions of rupees.”81. What does generosity really mean according to the passage? (No more than 14 words)_________________________________________________________________________82. What did Gandhi make a speech in Orissa for? (No more than 12 words)_________________________________________________________________________83. Why did the old lady insist seeing Gandhi?

2021新高考英语模拟试卷2

2021新高考英语模拟试卷2第一部分阅读（共两节，满分50分）第一节（共15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。

A．Perfect.B．Disappointing.C．Cool but too realistic. D．Good but too long. 2．What may you prefer to read if you are interested in travel?A．As You Wish. B．Royce Rolls.C．Queens o f Geek.D．I Hate Everyone But You. 3．What can we learn about Bent?A．She was an actor at the age of 12.B．She is a teen who loves making trouble.C．She had a big wish on her 18th birthday.D．She shares her friendship in her book.BI suspect that we socialize more during the spring and summer months. Under the warm sun, yards bloom with cold drinks and conversation, barbecues get fired up, and parties quickly spill outside. Shifting these sweet summer parties to ones that arc also waste-free can be both simple and inexpensive, with just a few small changes to your habits.The first step is to keep invitations virtual. Creating a Facebook event or sending a simple email is perfect for inviting guests to your party without generating waste from paper invitations, and if you're looking for something a bit more formal, sites such as Greenvelope and Paperless Post have given the cheesy e-vite a brilliant makeover. Virtual invites also allow you to track RSVPs, communicate with guests, and provide clickable info about your event.To decorate, make use of the candles, flowers and greenery already in your outdoor space rather than stocking upon store-bought flowers, and consider using decorations that can be reused (like a cloth happy birthday banner, for example) rather than one-time use decorations. Skip the balloons in favour of large tissue paper pom-poms, and offer up any decorations still in decent condition to a free group after the event rather than just tossing them out.The most obvious way to cut down on party waste, of course, is by getting rid of disposable plates, cups and cutlery. I shouldn't have to do much convincing in this department – does anyone actually enjoy using those paper plates that fold in half when you pile them high with too much greek salad or drip oil through the bottom? Has anyone in the history of the world ever actually successfully cut anything with one of those completely useless plastic knives? There really isn't much to be gained from using disposables.With these shifts and a few other small adjustments here and there – paper straws instead of plastic, a large drink dispenser rather than individual soft drinks or juice boxes – you'll be set to celebrate all summer long, without suffering the accompanying garbage hangover the next day. 4．Which is the best title for the passage？A．How to hold a successful garden party. B．Summer garden party habits.C．How to hold greener summer parties.D．How to entertain your guests. 5．What does the underlined word “cheesy” in the second paragraph mean?A．Free. B．Formal. C．Plain. D．Inviting.6．What should we do with used decorations in good condition?A．Donate them. B．Sell them. C．Put them away. D．Throw them away. 7．Why docs the writer dislike paper plates?A．They're too expensive. B．They're not practical.C．They're not convincing. D．They're not popular.CSome people say summer is the time when teachers should get more pay. But not everyone is grateful to teachers for keeping kids occupied between August and June. Washington state representative Liz Pike has written a Facebook post, titled "A life in the day of a WA staterepresentative", and responded to teachers' complaints of rising costs of living. The post has received criticism for being anti-teacher. After reading her post, I feel that Liz Pike should rethink her criticism of public school teaching and avoid comparing it to the private school.Many of us teachers would certainly like teaching to be more like the private school. We see nothing wrong with fair pay for fair performance. In fact, performance is the name of the game. With standardized testing popular throughout K-12 education, teachers are some of the most analyzed and performance-measured employees in the United States. Liz Pike is very angry that teachers want raises even while test scores are dropping. Well, how are we supposed to have discipline in the classroom when our hands are tied and we can hardly do anything with naughty students or fail students who are not prepared to move on to the next grade?.Teachers would love to be able to turn education around and improve students' performance. But we can't and we should not suffer for it. Unlike private school businesses, public schools cannot turn away “customers”．A private school business serves customers who walk through the door of their own free will, while public schools have to educate students who only attend because courts say they must.She says those who are "uninspired" by a lack of a cost of living increase should give up teaching. Is this the message that she thinks should be sent to the students whose academic performance she claims to care much about? That “if you love it you'll shut up and not stand up for yourself ”？I think teachers should stand up for themselves and I also think supporting teachers can make teachers teach children how to stand up for themselves.8．What is Liz Pnce's opinion?A．Teachers should be treated equally.B．Teachers shouldn't ask for a pay rise.C．Teachers should accept public criticism.D．Teachers 8houldn't give students much homework9．What problem do teachers in public schools face in the author’s opinion?A．Their performance is not measured.B．Many schools are becoming private.C．They can't master the correct teaching method.D．They are under the control of a system of rules.10．The underlined word "customers" in Paragraph 3 probably refers to .A．students B．teachersC．clever businessmen D．private schools11．It can be inferred from the last paragraph that ．A．some teachers are not excellent enoughB．supporting teachers is helpful to studentsC．teachers shouldn't complain about their living costsD．Liz Pike doesn't care about students' academic performanceDTraditional Chinese Medicine(TCM), along with Chinese Kungfu and Peking Opera, is one of China’s cultural symbols recognized worldwide. It is a gem of Chinese civilization, and it has also made great contributions to world civilization by improving peopl e’s health and promoting social progress.There used to be a debate in China about whether TCM or Western medicine was better, and arguments can still be heard today. But actually, TCM and western medicine are two different medical theoretical systems that can not replace each other. In some aspects such as surgery, Western medicine is better than TCM, but in other areas, such as recovery after surgery and treatment of chronic(慢性的) diseases, TCM is more effective. This is way some Chinese hospitals provide both TCM and Western medicine treatments. A combination of both has been accepted by many Chinese people as the most effective treatment.Today, promoting and innovating TCM has become a consensus (共识) in Chinese society. The Chinese government has formulated policies to support the development and innovation of TCM, with a view to establishing a Chinese healthcare development model paying equal attention to both.The supportive policies of the Chinese Government will focus on three aspects. The first is the strengthening of TCM services in medical institutions. The second is to apply Internet technology to TCM management, including setting up a database containing TCM electronic medical records and prescriptions (处方) . The third is to give better play to the advantages of TCM, especially acupuncture (针灸) and naprapathy(推拿). The function of TCM in disease prevention and recovery will also be enhanced.As long as TCM keeps its core strengths and respects the rules of development and innovation, it will surely be able to maintain its vitality and bring more benefits to people in China and the world.12．What advantage does Western medicine have over TCM?A．It is a symbol of national civilization.B．It is more effective in surgery.C．It is more successful in recovery after surgery.D．It is more effective in treating chronic diseases.13．What is the characteristic of the Chinese healthcare development model?A．It stresses the importance of Western medicine.B．It attaches equal attention to TCM and Western medicine.C．It has been established by the Chinese government.D．It pays equal attention to developing and innovating TCM.14．According to paragraph 4, which of the following aspects is not included in the Chinese government supports for TCM?A．It makes better use of the advantages of TCM.B．It combines Internet Technology with TCM.C．It calls on the public to support TCM.D．It increases TCM services in hospitals and medical centers.15．What can be a suitable title for the text?A．TCM Breaks New Ground.B．Chinese Government Promotes TCM.C．TCM is One of China’s Cultural Symbols.D．TCM Beats Western Medicine.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。

2021年浙江省高考英语模拟试卷(二)(附答案详解)

2021年浙江省高考英语模拟试卷（二）一、阅读理解（本大题共10小题，共25.0分）AAll of us in Monte Vista Christian Schoolknow we'll one day have graduation photos for the yearbook taken. As the time approaches, the girls start to have a discussion about what they'll wear and where to take the photos, while the boys, by comparison, hardly talk about it. As for me, I arranged for my photos to be taken by the sea.When I arrived there, I met my photographer, Annie. She asked me to make some poses and I followed her advice. After that, I asked if she could make me look taller by takings photo in a different way, since I'm less than 1.6 meters tall. To my astonishment she responded, "I will make no attempt to make you look like someone you're not. You look good in your own way." She added that she wouldn't try to edit the photos either.I was shocked by what she said. Girls always desire to look perfect by using different visual angles. When you go to a photo studio,photographers always try to hide your imperfections by telling you to stand in a certain way. And picture editors can easily transform your look by making you appear any you want to. However, that's not the case here. Seeing I was confused,Annie explained, "Everyone has his uniqueness. You need to admire your own beauty. You cannot live in a world of artificial photos."It was the first time that I had met a photographer who doesn't polish photos at all. After the shoot, I saw the photos - they are truly special and natural. But what's even more special are Annie's words, which will always stay in my heart.1.Why did the students want to have their photos taken？______A. Because they themselves couldn't make perfect poses.B. To make them look more beautiful in the photos.C. Because of a book published annually by the graduating class.D. Because they will graduate soon.2.How did the author's attitude towards the photographer, Annie change？______A. From being angry to being shocked.B. From being shocked to being disapproval.C. From being angry to being admirable.D. From being shocked to being approval.3.According to this passage, which of the followings can be predicted？______A. The author will have her photos taken by Annie only.B. The author will never hide her imperfections in her photos.C. The author will have her photos taken in a natural way.D. The author will have her photos taken in a special way.BIncreasingly, Americans are becoming their own doctors, by going online to diagnose their symptoms, order home health tests or medical devices, or even self-treat their illnesses with drugs from internet pharmacies. Some avoid doctors because of the high cost of medical care, especially if they lack health insurance. Or they may stay away because they find it embarrassing to discuss their weight, smoking, alcohol consumption or couch potato habits. Patients may also fear what they might learn about their health, or they distrust physicians because of negative experiences in the past. But playing doctor can also be a fatal game. Every day, more than six million Americans turn to internet for medical answers---and most of them aren't nearly skeptical enough of what they find. A 2002 survey by the Pew Internet&American life Project found that 72% of those surveyed believe all of most of what they read on health websites. They shouldn't. Look up "headache," and the chances of finding reliable and complete information, free from a motivation for commercial gain, are only one in ten, reports an April 2005 Brown Medical School study. Of the 169 websites the researchers rated, only 16 scored as "high quality." Recent studies found faulty facts about all sorts of other disorders, causing one research team to warn that a large amount of incomplete, inaccurate and even dangerous information exists on the internet.The problem is most people don't know the safe way to surf the web. "they use a search engine like Google, get 18 trillion choices and start clicking. But that's risky, because almost anybody can put up a site that looks authoritative, so it's hard to know if what you're reading is reasonable or not." Says Dr. Sarah Bass from the National Cancer Institute.4.Some Americans stay away from doctors because they ______ .A. find medical devices easy to operateB. prefer to be diagnosed online by doctorsC. are afraid to face the truth of their healthD. are afraid to misuse their health insurance5.According to the study of Brown Medical School, ______ .A. more than 6 million Americans distrust doctorsB. only 1/10 of medical websites aim to make a profitC. Only 1/10 of the websites surveyed are of high qualityD. 72% of health websites offer incomplete and faulty facts6.Which of the following is the author's main argument？______A. it's cheap to self-treat your own diseaseB. it's embarrassing to discuss your bad habitsC. it's reasonable to put up a medical websiteD. it's risky to be your own doctor.CA German study suggests that people who were too optimistic about their future actually faced greater risk of disability or death within 10 years than those pessimists who expected their future to be worse.The paper, published this March in Psychology and Aging, examined health and welfare surveys from roughly 40，000 Germans between ages 18 and 96.The surveys were conducted every year from 1993 to 2003.Survey respondents were asked to estimate their present and future life satisfaction on a scale of 0 to 10，among other questions.The researchers found that young adults （age 18 to 39）routinely overestimated their future life satisfaction, while middle-aged adults （age 40 to 64）more accurately predicted how they would feel in the future.Adults of 65 and older, however, were far more likely to underestimate their future life satisfaction.Not only did they feel more satisfied than they thought they would, the older pessimists seemed to suffer a lower ratio （比率）of disability and death for the study period."We observed that being too optimistic in predicting a better future than actually observed was associated with a greater risk of disability and a greater risk of death within the following decade," wrote Frieder ng, a professor at the University of Erlangen-Nuremberg.Lang and his colleagues believed that people who were pessimistic about their future may be more careful about their actions than people who expected a rosy future."Seeing a dark future may encourage positive evaluations of the actual self and may contribute to taking improved precautions （预防措施），" the authors wrote.Surprisingly, compared with those in poor health or who had low incomes, respondents who enjoyed good health or income were associated with expecting a greater decline.Also, the researchers said that higher income was related to a greater risk of disability.The authors of the study noted that there were limitations to their conclusions.Illness, medical treatment and personal loss could also have driven health outcomes.However, the researchers said a pattern was clear."We found that from early to late adulthood, individuals adapt their expectations of future life satisfaction from optimistic, to accurate, to pessimistic," the authors concluded.7.According to the study, who made the most accurate prediction of their future lifesatisfaction？______A. Optimistic adults.B. Middle-aged adults.C. Adults in poor health.D. Adults of lower income.8.Pessimism may be positive in some way because it causes people ______ .A. to fully enjoy their present lifeB. to estimate their contribution accuratelyC. to take measures against potential risksD. to value health more highly than wealth9.How do people of higher income see their future？______A. They will earn less money.B. They will become pessimistic.C. They will suffer mental illness.D. They will have less time to enjoy life.10.What is the clear conclusion of the study？______A. Pessimism guarantees chances of survival.B. Good financial condition leads to good health.C. Medical treatment determines health outcomes.D. Expectations of future life satisfaction decline with age.二、阅读七选五（本大题共5小题，共10.0分）Endangered species An endangered species is a group of animals that could soon become extinct.（1）______ Many species are nearly extinct and could disappear off the face of theearth very soon if we don't do anything to save them. There are many reasons why species become endangered.Habitat destruction is the main reason why animals become endangered and this happens in two ways. When humans move into a new area, the animals' habitat is destroyed and there is nowhere for them to live and nothing to eat because humans chop down trees and build houses and farms. （2）______ Chemicals in rivers and poisons on farms cause the destruction of animals' homes and food supplies.（3）______ Animals have been brought to the edge of extinction because they are killed for their highly-valued meat, fur, bones or skin, or just for sport. Overfishing has resulted in many large sea creatures like whales and sharks becoming endangered species.（4）______ We should take care not to pollute natural areas,and farmers or companies who destroy animal habitats should face severe financial penalties. The public can help out by refusing to buy any products made from these animals' body parts. Governments canhelp,too,by making it against the law to hunt, fish or trade in endangered species. They can also provide funding for animal sanctuaries, to protect animals from extinction by breeding more endangered animals,which they later release into the wild. （5）______ .A. Animal habitats are also destroyed because of pollution.B. Endangered species are also the result of hunting and fishing.C. Eventually, all the creatures on Earth will enjoy being together.D. Recent changes, however, have helped to improve the situation.E. So what can individuals and governments do to protect endangered species？F. Extinction happens when the last of the species has died out and there will be no more.G. If we all cooperate and take these steps, we will protect these animals for future generations.11. A. A B.

A（2021·浙江高三一模）It’s a common experience: You’re reading through a social media page, and you see pictures of friends traveling or going to parties. Suddenly you start to wonder why you’re not doing those things. Are you missing out on something fun and exciting because you’re locked into everyday life? This experience has come to be known as the fear of missing out, or FOMO. To some extent, people have always worried about missing out on things. But with the rise of social media, FOMO is becoming much more common.Wanting to be in on the fun when exciting things are happening is completely normal. But for some people, it can lead to an obsession with checking their phones to find out what other people are doing. Even while doing things that are fun or necessary, people can feel like there’s something better going on elsewhere. This urge to connect can lead them to disconnect from the people they are actually with. It prevents them from being satisfied with the good things in their lives. It can even be dangerous; some people try to check messages while driving.It’s important to remember that what people choose to post on social media does not necessarily reflect their life overall. People tend to pick and choose the things they share, so we only ever know a small part of anyone else’s life.It might even be necessary to turn off your phone or log out of social media for a while. Get rid of the constant reminders of everything that’s happening in the world. You can even set particular times in your day to check email and social media. By stepping away for a time, you can help keep other people’ lives in perspective.Finally, focus on the things in front of you. Enjoy them, do them well and let everything else go. When you fully engage with life, you’ll worry less about what you’re not doing. 1．Why does the author mention the experience in paragraph 1?A．To share his experience of FOMO.B．To describe the symptoms of FOMO.C．To introduce the topic of FOMO.D．To give an example of FOMO.2．What is NOT the possible influence FOMO has on some people?A．Checking their social media too often.B．Making phone calls while driving.C．Being separated from people with them.D．Being unsatisfied with the present happiness.3．What can be the best title for the passage?A．The Harms Of Checking Phones.B．The Fear Of Missing Out.C．The Ways Of Dealing With Social Media.D．The Symptoms Of FOMO.B（2020·福建厦门市·厦门双十中学高三月考）Weekend@ EXPO Singapore EXPO Halls 1-310 am to 10 pmThe last Saturday of every monthFun.

This was what Samuel would spend years fighting against.The Orang Asli community has struggled with poverty, melting into society, and losing their own identity and culture due to others' disregard of it. Samuel saw that the main barrier in teaching these children was the attitude on the part of many teachers that the native children were not worth their efforts. It was thought that whatever was taught would make no difference, so nobody bothered to try. The children themselves ended up believing these stigmas (污名), often doubting what they can achieve. Teachers skipped or slept in classes, and little effort was made to create an appropriate learning environment. Consequently, the school was one of the worst-performing in the district.Samuel bonded with his native students and accepted their culture, leading him to see their potential. However, he also came to see that they did not have equal opportunities compared to urban schools, due to the lack of facilities. So he set up a crowdfunding project to create a fully equipped 21st-century English classroom with tablets and computers. The Orang Asli children now learn technology, experience English and communicate in English with volunteers all over Malaysia and overseas.Consequently, the students have improved in national standardized examinations, from a pass rate of 30% in English (2008-2012) to an average of 80% (2013-2017). These efforts have resulted in a shift of what local children are considered capable of academically. 8．What did the teacher's words suggest about the native children?A．They were intelligent. B．They were hopeless.C．They were unfriendly. D．They were independent.9．What major problem did Samuel need to solve?A．The poverty of local people. B．The lack of facilities in his school. C．The prejudice against the native kids. D．The unsuitable teaching methods. 10．What is paragraph 3 mainly about?A．The change of native students.B．The importance of learning English.C．The improvement of native education.D．Samuel's work for the native kids.11．What can we learn from Samuel's story?A．Respect makes a big difference.B．The academic performance comes first.C．Everyone deserves access to education.D．One method can't apply to each situation.D（2021·河北衡水市·衡水中学高三月考）Last year, the bushfires in Australia burned more than 12.35 million acres of land. At least 25 people were killed and 2000 homes destroyed. According to the BBC, that was the most casualties(伤亡) from wildfires in the country since 2009. The University of Sydney estimates that 480 million animals have died in South Wales alone.Zeke Hausfather, an energy systems analyst and climate researcher at Berkeley Earth, said warmer temperatures and extreme weather made Australia more susceptible to fires and increased the length of the fire season. "The drier conditions combined with record high temperatures in 2019 created main conditions for the disastrous fires. Australia's fires were worsened by the combination of those two. 2019 was the perfect storm for being the warmest year on record for Australia and the driest year on record for Australia," Hausfather added on Friday.Kevin Trenberth, a senior scientist at the US National Center for Atmospheric Research, said warmer ocean temperatures are also contributed to more variable weather around the world. Trenberth believes that global warming contributed to energy imbalances and hot spots in the oceans, which can create a wave in the atmosphere that locks weather patterns in places, causing longer rain events in Indonesia, for example, and at the same time contributing to drought in Australia. He said that once an area experiences drought conditions for two months or more, it increases the risk of fires catching and spreading. Those changing weather patterns due to global warming make drought events longer.Climate experts stress that climate change is not the only factor in the severity(严重) of wildfires. How land is managed can also impact the amount of fuel available for fires.

AGuide to Hiking on the Appalachian TrailHow do I “Leave No Trace on the Appalachian Trail?”At about 2,189 miles, the Appalachian Trail is the longest single unit of the National Park System. With the number of people visiting this place increasing each year, the chances are great that any of us may damage the natural environment along the Trail and affect the experience for others. So please do your part by following these hiking and camping practices, and encourage others to learn about and adopt these techniques.1. Plan ahead and prepare.Evaluate the risks associated with your outing, identify campsites and destinations in advance, and use maps and guides. Prepare for extreme weather, dangers, and emergencies –especially the cold –to avoid impacts from searches, rescues, and campfires. Learn when areas are most crowded and try to avoid those times.2. Dispose of waste properly.Pack out all trash and food waste, including that left behind by others. Don’t bury trash or food, and don’t try to burn packaging materials in campfires. Use the privy (茅房) for human waste only. Do not add trash. If there is no privy, dispose of human waste by burying it in a hole, a hole at least 200 feet (80 steps) from campsites, water sources and shelters, and well away from trails.3. Leave what you find.Leave plants, cultural artifacts (文物) and other natural objects where you found them for others to enjoy. Do not damage live trees or plants; green wood burns poorly. Collect only firewood that is dead, down, and no larger than your wrist. Leave dead standing trees and dead limbs on standing trees for the wildlife.4. Minimize campfire impacts.Use stoves for cooking –if you need a fire, build one only where it’s legal and in an existing fire ring. Keep fires small. Never leave your campfire unattended, and drown it when you leave. Do not try to burn trash, including plastic, glass, cans, tea bags, food, or anything with food on it. These items do not burn thoroughly. They create harmful fumes, and attract wildlife like skunks and bears.5.Respect wildlifeDon’t feed or disturb wildlife. Store food properly to avoid attracting bears, varmints, and rodents. If you bring a pet, keep it leashed.( )1．Before you hike on the Appalachian Trail, you are advised to _______. A．Leave your pet dog at homeB．bring some food for the wildlife thereC．prepare for bad weather and emergenciesD．avoid crowded periods and book a hotel in advance( )2．The underlined phrase “dispose of” probably means _______.A．take care of B．hide awayC．make use of D．get rid of( )3．If you need a fire on the Appalachian Trail, you should _______. A．collect firewood that is larger than your wristB．keep it small and drown it when you go awayC．burn or bury your trash before you leaveD．use it to drive away wildlife like skunks and bear【分析】本文是一篇说明文。
