河北省承德市双滦区实验中学2021届高三英语一轮复习晚练试题8 第二部分：阅读理解(共两节，满分35分)第一节(共10小题；每小题2.5分，满分25分)阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。
AIn the fall of 1985. I was a brighteyed girl heading off to Howard University, aiming at a legal career and dreaming of sitting on a Supreme Court bench somewhere. Twentyone years later I am still a brighteyed dreamer and one with quite a different tale to tell.My grandma, an amazing woman, graduated from college at the age of 65. She was the first in our family to reach that goal. But one year after I started college, she developed cancer. I made the choice to withdraw from college to care for her. It meant that school and my personal dream would have to wait.Then I got married with another dream: building my family with a combination of adopted and biological children. In 1999, we adopted our first son. To lay eyes on him was fantastic，and very emotional. A year later came our second adopted boy. Then followed son No. 3. In 2003, I gave birth to another boy.You can imagine how fully occupied I became, raising four boys under the age of 8! Our home was a complete zoo —a joyous zoo. Not surprising, I never did make it back to college fulltime. But I never gave up on the dream either. I had only one choice: to find a way. That meant taking as few as one class each semester. The hardest part was feeling guilty about the time I spent away from the boys. They often wanted me to stay home with them. There certainly were times I wanted to quit, but I knew I should set an example for them to follow through the rest of their lives.In 2007, I graduated from the University of North Carolina. It took me over 21 years to get my college degree!I am not special, just singleminded. It alw ays struck me that when you're looking at a big challenge from the outside it looks huge, but when you're in the midst of it, it just seems normal. Everything you want won't arrive in your life on one day. It's a process. Remember: little steps add up to big dreams.21. When the author went to Howard University, her dream was to be________.A．a writer B．a teacherC．a judge D．a doctor22. Why did the author quit school in her second year of college?A．She wanted to study by herself.B．She fell in love and got married.C．She suffered from a serious illness.D．She decided to look after her grandma.23．What can we learn about the author from Paragraphs 4 and 5?A．She was busy yet happy with her family life.B．She ignored her guilty feeling for her sons.C．She wanted to remain a fulltime housewife.D．She was too confused to make a correct choice.CDAB“Our aim is to take our art to the world and make people understand what it is to move，”said David Belle，the cofounder of parkour (跑酷)．Do you love running？It is a good exercise，yet many people find it boring. But what if making your morning jog a creative one？Like jumping from walls and over gaps and ground rolls？Just like the James Bond in the movie Casino Royale？Bond jumps down from a roof to a windowsill and then runs several blocks over obstacles on the way. It is just because of Bond's wonderful performances that the sport has become popular worldwide.Yes，that's parkour，an extreme street sport aimed at moving from one point to another as quickly as possible，getting over all the obstacles in the path using only the abilities of the human body. Parkour is considered an extreme sport. As its participants dash around a city，they may jump over fences，run up walls and even move from rooftop to rooftop.Parkour can be just as exciting and charming as it sounds，but its participants see parkour much more than that.Overcoming all the obstacles on the course and in life is part of the philosophy(哲理)behind parkour. This is the same as life. You must determine your destination，go straight，and jump over all the barriers as if in parkour and never fall back from them in your life，to reach the destination successfully. A parkour lover said，“I l ove parkour because its philosophy has become my life，my way to do everything.”Another philosophy we've learnt from parkour is freedom. It can be done byanyone，at any time，anywhere in the world. It is a kind of expression of trust in yourself that you earn energy and confidence.24．Parkour has become popular throughout the world because of ________.A．its cofounder，David Belle B．the film，Casino RoyaleC．its risks and tricks D．the varieties of participants 25．The underlined word “obstacles” in Paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to“________”．A．streets B．objectsC．barriers D．roofs26．Which of the following is true of parkour?A．It challenges human abilities.B．It is a good but boring sport.C．It needs special training.D．It is a team sport.BCACAn idea that started in Seattle's public library has spread throughout America and beyond. The concept is simple: help to build a sense of community in a city by getting everyone to read the same book at the same time.In addition to encouraging reading as a pursuit (追求) to be enjoyed by all, the program allows strangers to communicate by discussing the book on the bus, as well as promoting reading as an experience to be shared in families and schools. The idea came from Seattle librarian Nancy Pearl who launched (发起) the “If All of Seattle Read the Same Book” project in 1998. Her original program used author visits, study guides and book discussion groups to bring people together with a book, but the idea has since expanded to many other American cities, and even to Hong Kong. In Chicago, the mayor(市长) appeared on television to announce the choice of To Kill a Mockingbird as the first book in the “One Book, One Chicago” program. As a result, reading clubs and neighborhood groups sprang up around the city. Across the US, stories emerged of parents and children reading to each other at night and strangers chatting away on the bus about plot and character.The only problem arose in New York, where local readers could not decide on one book to represent the huge and diverse population. This may show that the idea works best in mediumsized cities or large towns, where a greater sense of unity (一致)can be achieved. Or it may show that New Yorkers rather missed the point, putting all their energy and passion into the choice of the book rather than discussion about a book itself.Ultimately as Nancy points out, the level of success is not measured by how many people read a book, but by how many people are enriched by the process, or have enjoyed speaking to someone with whom they would not otherwise have shared a word. 27. What is the purpose of the project launched by Nancy?A．To invite authors to guide readers.B．To encourage people to read and share.C．To involve people in community service.D．To promote the friendship between cities.28．Why was it difficult for New Yorkers to carry out the project?A．They had little interest in reading.B．They were too busy to read a book.C．They came from many different backgrounds.D．They lacked support from the local government.29. According to the passage, where would the project be more easily carried out?A．In large communities with little sense of unity.B．In large cities where libraries are far from home.C．In mediumsized cities with a diverse population.D．In large towns where agreement can be quickly reached.30．The underlined words “shared a word” in Paragraph 5 probably mean________.A．exchanged ideas with each otherB．discussed the meaning of a wordC．gamed life experienceD．used the same languageBCDA第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

That is WFH: work from a hotel.Hotel FigueroA special program titled Work Perks aims to reposition some of 94-year-old Hotel Figuero’s 268 rooms as day-use offices.According to Managing Director Connie Wang, the set-up launched in June and is a great opportunity to get out of their houses with high-speed Wi-Fi, unlimited printing privileges and free parking. The 350-square-foot rooms sell for $ 129 per day, with an option to extend to an overnight stay for an additional $ 20.The WytheA boutique hotel inBrooklyn.

Rather, it’ s because of the good-hearted neighbors who want to share their harvest. Especially with this year’s large crop, leaving a car unlocked in my neighborhood is an invitation for someone to stuff it full of zucchini(西葫芦).My sister-in-law, Sharon, recently had a good year for tomatoes. She and her family had eaten and canned so many that they began to feel their skin turn slightly red. That ’ s when she decided it was time to share herblessings.She started calling everyone she knew. When that failed, she began to ask everyone in the neighborhood like a politician, eventually finding a neighbor delighted to have the tomatoes. “ Feel free to take whatever you want,”Sharontold her. She felt happy that she could help someone and that the food didn’t go to waste.A few days later,Sharonanswered the door. There was the neighbor, holding some bread. The neighbor smiled pleasantly, “I want to thank you for all of the tomatoes, and I have to admit that I took a few other things and hope you wouldn’t mind.”Sharoncouldn’t think of anything else in her garden that had been worth harvesting and said so. “Oh, but you did,” the neighbor said. “You had some of the prettiest zucchini I’ve ever seen.”Sharonwas confused. Zucchini in her garden? They hadn’ t even planted any zucchini. But her neighbor insisted that there really were bright-green zucchini in her garden. The two of them walked together into the backyard. When the neighbor pointed at the long green vegetables,Sharonsmiled, “ Well, actually, those are cucumbers that we never harvested, because they got too big, soft and bitter for eating or canning.”The neighbor looked atSharon, shock written all over her face. Then she smiled, and held out the bread that she had shared all over the neighborhood, “I brought you a loaf of cucumber bread. I hope you like it.”4.

Their neighbors might fill them with their harvest.D. Their neighbors might throw rubbish in them.5. What does the underlined word “blessings” in the second paragraph mean?A. Tomatoes.B.

She took some cucumbers mistakenly.D. She stole something withoutSharon’s permission.7. We can infer from the article that the neighbor’s bread would taste________.A. bitter but tastyB. strange and bitterC. hard and sourD. soft and sweetCMore than 10,000 people were made homeless in Ternang when the Sungai Mas overflowed its banks yesterday after six days of continuous heavy rain.The wooden bridge across the river has been washed away. The town is cut off by flood waters. At the fifth mile, Jalan Tengkn, the water is two meters deep. It is closed to all traffic. Flooding first happened at mid-afternoon yesterday along the river banks. People trying to get to higher ground were just in time to escape the destroying of the flood. Most of the flood victims(受害者) had to leave all their things behind.The National Flood Relief(救济) Center was reported to give its help and by early evening the whole town was moved out, helped by the army, police, Red Cross Society and volunteers(志愿者).The flood victims are now housed in different simple relief centers in the nearby town of Ternang. “Everything possible is being done to help the unlucky people,” a government spokesman said, “In fact, money, food and clothing have begun to come in from public organizations and helpful people. A Disaster Relief Fund(救灾基金会) will be started as soon as possible.”According to the latest reports it is still raining heavily at Ternang. The whole town is expected to be whollycovered by the water.

Rescue Team ArrivedDI’ve never been the kind of person to say, “it’s the thought that counts” when it comes to gifts. That was until a couple of weeks ago, when my kids gave me a present thatblew me away.For years now, I’ve been wanting to sell our home, the place where my husband and I raised our kids. But to me, this house is much more than just a building.In the front room, there’s a wall that has hundreds of pencil lines, marking the progress of my children’s growth. Every growth stage is marked in grey, with each child’s name and the date they were measured. Of all the objects and all the memories, it’s this one thing in a home that’s the hardest to leave behind. Friends I know have returned home after work only to discover their wall of heights has been freshly painted over. A new paint job wouldn’t normally be greeted by tears, but erasing that evidence of motherhood hurts more than it should. Our kids grow in so many ways, but the wall is physical evidence of their progress, right there for everyone to see. Over the years, I’ve talked about how much I would hate leaving that wall behind when I moved, even though the last marks were made 10 years ago when my kids stopped growing.So one day, while I was at work, my childrendecided to do something about it.They hired Jacquie Manning, a professional photographer whose work is about capturing (捕捉) the beautifulthings in life, from clear lakes and skies to diamonds and ballgowns (舞会礼服).She came to our house while I was at work, and over several hours, took photos of the hundreds of drawings and lines, little grey fingerprints (手印), and old marks. Somehow, she managed to photograph all those years of memories perfectly. Afterwards, she put all the photos together into one image, transforming them into a beautiful history of my family.Three weeks later, my children’s wonderful gift made its way to me—a life-size photo of the pencil lines and fingerprints that represents entire lifetimes of love and growth.12. The underlined phrase in Para. I “blew me away” probably means “________”.A. attracted meB. surprised meC. accepted meD. refused me13. What does the house really mean to the author?A. A house.B. Buildings.C. An object.D. Memories.14. What surprised the friends I know after work?A. Finding the wall repainted.B. Erasing the fingerprints.C. Greeting them by tears.D. Leaving the wall unfinished.15. What is the best title for the text?A. Gift Made with LoveB. Buildings Made by ChildrenC. A Very Wonderful PaintingD.

2021届承德实验中学高三英语月考试题及参考答案第一部分阅读（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30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AGetting your kid to bed at night is seriously one of the most challenging things you'll ever have to do. Most kids are just so full of energy that they'll tire you out before they're halfway through their store of energy. An easy thing to calm down your child to get into bed is giving in and allowing some iPad screen time. However, it's really not a great idea, just like you thought.Researchers at theArizonaStateUniversityconducted a study with 547 kids between the ages of 7 to 9. Their parents tracked how much screen time the kids were allowed along with their sleep patterns. The study found that kids who did not engage in screen time before bed slept for 23 more minutes every week and also went to sleep about 34 minutes earlier than those playing with iPad. Although that might not seem like so much more time, quality of sleep is vastly important in Children's development.The CDC's (美国疾病控制中心)2018 National Youth Risk Survey outlines that good quality sleep can impact a child's life in many ways, including affecting grades and also weight gain. Students with an "A" average slept for 30 or more minutes per night than those with a "D" or"F" average.A 2018PennsylvaniaStateUniversitystudy showed that children with irregular bedtimes had a higher risk of having increased body weight. Those with consistent and age-appropriate bedtimes when they were 9 years old had a healthier BMI (体质指数)at age 15 than those with irregular bedtimes.Hard as it is, it's really important not to give in and hand over an iPad to your child who is about to go to bed. Just like it's important for adults to go to sleep without any distractions, it's even more important for kids.1. What do the findings of the researchers at theArizonaStateUniversitysuggest?A. More sleep is necessary for children's development.B. Enough sleep helps improve academic performances.C. Screen time before bed leads to later and less sleep.D. Children sleeping irregularly are easy to gain weight.2. What is the text mainly about?A. How is screen time affecting teenagers?B. What are negative effects of irregular bedtimes?C. When should you get your kid to bed at night?D. Why is screen time before bed a bad idea for kids?3. Who is the text intended for?A. Parents.B. Children.C. Teachers.D. Researchers.BA study has found that a lifetime of regular exercise and activity can slow down the aging process (衰老过程). Researchers say that getting older should not necessarily mean becoming more weak or sick. Their research shows that a devotion to a life of movement and exercise may help us live not only longer, but also healthier.For their study, the researchers looked at two groups. The first group was made up of 125 non-professional cyclists between the ages of 55 to 79. This group included 84 healthy men and 41 healthy women. We will call this group the “cyclists”.Researchers then found 130 people to make up a second group. Within this group, 75 people were aged from 57 to 80. The other 55 were between the ages of 20 and 36. The people in this group were also healthy, but they did not exercise regularly. We will call this group the “non-exercisers”. Smokers, heavy drinkers of alcohol and people with other health issues were not included in the study.Then, researchers gave both groups a series of tests. They tested their muscle mass (肌肉质量), muscular strength, percentage of body fat and the strength of their immune (免疫的) systems. Then the researchers compared the results of the two groups.Results showed that the cyclists did not experience body changes usually regarded as a normal aging process. For example, they did not lose muscle mass or muscular strength. Also, their body fat did not increase with age.The researchers also found something they had not expected. The study showed that the immune systems of the cyclists did not age either.The researchers advise us all to find an exercise that we like in our lives.4. How did the researchers carry out the study?A. By comparing.B. By discussing.C. By imagining.D. By reasoning.5. Which of the following is a result of the research?A. The cyclists kept a thin body shape.B. The non-exercisers gained weight easily.C. The cyclists’ muscles remained strong with age.D. The non-exercisers usually had health problems.6. Which is an unexpected result for the researchers?A. The cyclists had normal aging process.B. The cyclists’ immune systems didn’t age.C. The cyclists lost nearly all their fat.D. Everyone needed an exercise in their lives.7. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A. Healthy People Need More ExerciseB. Take an Exercise, the Harder, the BetterC. Cycling Is the Best Way to Prevent AgingD. A Lifetime of Exercise Slows Aging ProcessCHappiness is not a warm phone, according to anew study exploring the link between young life satisfaction and screen time. The study was led by professor of psychology Jean M. Twenge at San Diego State University (SDSU).To research this link, Twenge, along with colleagues Gabrielle Martin at SDSU and W. Keith Campbell at the University of Georgia, dealt with data from the Monitoring the Future (MtF) study, a nationally representative survey of more than a million U. S. 8th-, 10th-, and 12th-graders. The survey asked students questions about how often they spent time on their Phones, tablets and computers, as well as questions about their face-to-face social interactions and their overall happiness.On average found that teens who spent more time in front of screen devices — playing computer games, using social media, texting and video chatting — were less happy than those who invested more time in non-screen activities like sports, reading newspapers and magazines, and face-to-face social interactions."The key to digital media use and happiness is limited use," Twenge said. "Aim to spend no more than two hours a day on digital media, and try to increase the amount of time you spend seeing friends face-to-face and exercising — two activities reliably linked to greater happiness."Looking at historical trends from the same age groups since the 1990s, it's easy to find that the increase of screen devices over time happened at the same time as a general drop-off in reported happiness inU. S.teens. Specifically, young peopled life satisfaction and happiness declined sharply after 2012. That's the year when thepercentage of Americans who owned a smartphone rose above 50 percent. By far the largest change in teens' lives between 2012 and 2016 was the increase in the amount of time they spent on digital media, and the following decline in in-person social activities and sleep.8. Which method did Twenge's team use for the study?A. Calculating students' happiness.B. Asking students certain questions.C. Analyzing data from a survey.D. Doing experiments on screen time.9. How does the author develop the finding of the study in paragraph 3?A. By making a comparison.B. By giving an example.C. By making an argument.D. By introducing a concept.10. What is the purpose of the last paragraph?A. To draw a conclusion from the study.B. To offer some advice to the readers.C. To prove social activities' importance.D. To support the researchers' finding.11. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A. Quitting Phones Equals HappinessB. Screen Time Should Be BannedC. Teens' Lives Have Changed SharplyD. Screen-addicted Teens Are UnhappierDAs one of the world’smost popular cultural mediums, cinema is at the leading position at the Taihu World Cultural Forum(论坛), an annual event that aims to improve cultural exchanges. So far this year, Chinese box office has already topped 58 billion yuan, the China Film Administration said. This indicates that China, the world’s second-largest movie market, is closing the gap with the United States, the world’s top cinema market.Cao Yin, director of the program center at China Movie Channel, said that China has 67,000 cinema screens. the most of any country, and the number is expected to increase to 80,000 by the end of next year. Saying thatChina has signed coproduction agreements with 22 countries (including the United States, Canada, Japan. India etc.) ,Cao added it has deepened cinematic exchanges between Chinese filmmakers and their foreign counterparts (同行).With the country’s huge native market, which produced more than 1,000 films in 2019, Hong Kong director Stanley Tong said he believes foreign filmmakers will increasingly seek cooperation with China. “International coproduction will become an important platform to send Chinese stories oversea and give us a broader vision of creation,” Tong said.Recently, over 80 percent of the world’s top 100 highest box-office titles have been action films. Tong said the films, in which plots are basically secondary to shining stunts (特技), is one of the easiest ways to appeal to foreign audiences. But it has been a decades-long struggle for Chinese filmmakers to sell their stories overseas. When asked what kinds of Chinese films would have the most global appeal. Yan Zhaozhu, chairman of the Taihu World Cultural Forum, said stories that address universal issues, such as environmental protection and climate change, are perhaps the best options.12. What is the purpose of the Taihu World Cultural Forum?A. To strengthen cultural exchanges.B. To build more cinemas in China.C. To invite more tourists to Taihu.D. To attract more international investment.13. What can we infer about Cao Yin’s opinion in Paragraph 2?A. Chinese box office has already overtaken the United States so farB. The screens of Chinese cinemas will be world-leading in the futureC. China has signed the most coproduction agreements with other countriesD. There will be more and more cooperations between Chinese filmmakers and other countries.14. How do Chinese filmmakers feel about selling their movies to the world right now?A. Easy.B. Disappointed.C. Challenged.D. Confused.15. What is the best title for the text?A. Box Office: Unclear FutureB. China: Top Second Movie MarketC. Cinema: The Leading Cultural PositionD.

A cartoon character wearing bright red shorts on video begins instructing us to do star-jumps and sit-ups around his apartment.Pella, a research assistant at Stockholm University, is part of the Hoffice movement, which invites workers-freelancers（自由职业者）or full-time employees who can do their jobs remotely—to work at each other’s homes to increase productivity and enjoy an active social life.Those attending Hoffice events advertised on Facebook are typically asked to work silently in 45-minute blocks, before taking short breaks together to exercise, or simply chatting over a coffee. In addition, each participant shares daily objectives with the rest of the group upon arrival, and is invited to report back on whether or not they have achieved them at the end of the day.“Often when I am alone, I can work focused for a couple of hours but then I’m easily distracted（分心）.The help of others makes me so much more disciplined.” says Pella, who attends Hoffice events as both a guest and a host. Lunches mean networking and connecting with new contacts. “People are coming from really different areas and have different professions so there can be really interesting discussions,” he says.The Hoffice movement has grown quickly since it was founded in 2014 by Swedish psychologist Christofer Franzen, now 37. He had been giving lectures on the benefits of collective（集体的）intelligence, but realised he was spending most of his own time working alone at his kitchen table. “I wanted to test more structured home co-working with friends in similar situations,” he says.Franzen says that holding events in houses and apartments creates a unique atmosphere, because there’s a sense of community and desire to contribute. He’s looking for ways to expand the social value of Hoffice, by matching up members with relevant skills to share and even encouraging jobseekers to join its gatherings.4. Where is Pella when his smart phone starts pinging?A. In his own home.B. In his office.C. In another person’s home.D. At Stockholm University.5. What do people attending Hoffice events do first when they meet?A. Watch an exercise video.B. Work silently for 45 minutes.C. Tell each other their daily plans.D. Report what they have achieved.6. What does Franzen really mean by saying “friends in similar situations”?A. They usually work alone.B. They often give lectures.C. They study collective intelligence.D. They have to work at a kitchen table.7. What is the best title for the text?A. Sharing Comfortable WorkplacesB. A New Way to Make New FriendsC. Benefits of Collective IntelligenceD. Working from Others’ HomesCJose Hernandez made his dream of becoming an astronaut a reality and he did so despite unbelievable difficulties“I was workingin a field near Stockton, and I heard on my radio that Franklin Chang-Diaz had been selected for the Astronaut Corps," said Jose, who was a senior in high school at the timed was already interested in science and engineering, Jose remembered, "but that was the moment I said, "I want to fly in space.' "As one of four children in a migrant（移民）farming family from Mexico, Jose - who didn't learn English until he was 12 years old - spent much of his childhood traveling with his family from Mexico to southern California each March, then working northward to the Stockton area by November, picking strawberries and cucumbers at farms along the route. They would then return to Mexico for Christmas and start the cycle all over again in the spring. "Some kids might think it would be fun to travel like that,“ Jose laughed, "but we had to work”.After graduating from high school, Jose was admitted into the University of the Pacific, In 1987, he accepted a full-time job with Lawrence National Laboratory. In 2001, Jose joinedtheJohnson Space Center, where he came face-to-face with Franklin Chang-Diaz.“We actually had common experiences —asimilar upbringing, the same language issues. That built up my confidence. Any barriers that existed, he had already overcome them.” Jose smiled. "Now it's my tum!,,“NASA rejected me not once, not twice, not three times but 11 times. It wasn't until the 12th time that I got selected, he said. Jose was selected as part of the 19th class of astronauts in 2004. He circled the globe 217 times but remains a down to Earth guy.Jose Hernandez received the 2016 National Hispanic Hero Award and he continues his long history in the field of engineering and space.8. What made Jose determined to be an astronaut?A. The influence of Astronaut Corps.B. The success of Franklin Chang-Diaz.C. His interest in science and engineering.D. The experience of working in the field.9. What can we learn about Jose as a child?A. He did much farm work.B. He travelled a lot for fun.C. He hated learning English.D. He obeyed his family in everything.10. How did Jose feel when he met FranklinChang-Diaz personally?A. Inspired.B. Valued.C. Relaxed.D. Puzzled.11. What can be a suitable title for the text?A. Climb over BarriersB. Reach for the StarsC. Work the Hard WayD. Learn from Your PastDGrowing up as kids we are told to share our toys and notto be selfish. We also live in an age when discussing our feelings is encouraged. But when does it all become too much? With new crazes trending all the time, such as dance challenges and wearing a carpet as a dress, the question is: when can sharing become oversharing on social media?“Oversharing” has become associated with social media, but it isn'texclusiveto this platform. Imagine you head to a party and meet x k w someone. Within five minutes they have revealed private details about their life. While some of us may try to escape these people, according to marriage advisor Carolyn Cole, this form of oversharing could come from a strong desire to connect with someone. But how does this translate to social media?Dr. Christopher Hand, a lecturer in cyberpsychology (网络心理学），says the more details people disclose, the less sympathy we express when things go wrong. It seems that searching for sympathy by oversharing is generally considered as negative rather than the cry for help it could really be.However, Dr. Hand's research also seems to suggest that the more we post on a platform, the more socially attractive we become-provided that the posts that we bang out are positive. Even back in 2015, Gwendolyn Seidman PhD said that we should avoid complaining and being negative online. We should also avoid showing off, especially about our love lives. It makes sense-if your date is going “that well", would you really have time to sharea photo with text?So, how can you know if you are oversharing? Well, why not ask your friends in real life. They would probably be happy to tell you if your posts about your breakfast or your complaints about your lack of money really are too much.12. What does the underlined word “exclusive" in paragraph 2 mean?A. Unique.B. Similar.C. Relevant.D. Fundamental.13. Why do some people prefer oversharing at parties?A. To draw others' attention.B. To satisfy others' curiosity.C. To remove negative feelings.D. To develop good relationships.14. Which of the following may Dr. Hand agree with?A. Sharing more details online can attract more sympathy.B. Oversharing negative experiences is equal to crying for help.C. Sharing negative posts can't help one become socially attractive.D. Oversharing isn't likely to happen online when things go wrong.15. According to the text, what should be avoided for online sharing?A. Reflecting on past bad manners.B. Showing a great many expensive goods.C. Writing a recipe for a balanced breakfast.D. Recording unforgettable moments with friends.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10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。

Santa Cruz Mission State Historic Park.BSummer is quickly passing by—but not without the ultimate meteor（流星）shower event!The2021 Perseids Meteor Shower, which is considered to be the best meteor shower of the year, is expected to start lighting up skies on this Wednesday, according to NASA. Known for fireballs, the Perseids typically light up skies on warm summer nights, leaving “long wake（尾迹）of light and color1 behind them.”Under ideal conditions, sky watchers may see approximately 50-100 meteors per hour with each meteor traveling at 37 miles per second. .Because the meteors appear in all parts of the sky, it will be pretty easy to witness the celestial（天上的）event from anywhere in the world. To get the best show, it is advised to view the Perseids from the Northern Hemisphere（半球）during the pre- dawn hours, ideally between 2 a.m. and dawn. In some cases, sky gazers may be able to seemeteors during this shower as early as 9 or 10 p. m.“If it's not cloudy, pick an observing spot away from bright lights, lie on your back, and look up! You don't need any special equipment to view the Perseids—just your eyes,” NASA wrote on their site, adding that telescopes or binoculars are not recommended due to their small fields of view.Remember to let your eyes become adjusted to the dark. Try to stay off of your phone too, as looking at devices with bright screens will negatively affect your night vision and thus reduce the number of meteors you see!For those who may be unable to view the Perseids in person, a live broadcast will be streaming from NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center, starting around 8 p. m. on Aug. 11 and continuing through sunrise on Aug. 12.4. What can we learn about the Perseids Meteor Shower?A. It will be the best meteor shower in history.B. The ultimate shower only happens on this Wednesday.C. We can observe 50- 100 meteors per hour in any place.D. The Meteors usually have long and bright trails behind them.5. Which of the following may be the best time to view the shower?A. At 4 a. m. on the Northern Hemisphere.B. At 2 p. m. on the Northern Hemisphere.C. At sunrise on the Southern Hemisphere.D. At dawn on the Southern Hemisphere.6. What can be inferred about the observation of Meteors?A. If you use a telescope, you will see more meteors.B. You can use smartphones to record the grand scene.C. The brighter the moon is, the more meteors you can see. .D. Bright lights will reduce the visibility of meteors.7. If you are not available to watch the Perseids personally, you can ________.A. browse the unofficial website of NASAB. watch a video recorded by a flight centerC. stream a live show on Aug. 11 nightD. use special devices to connect with the showerCIn May this year, as part of our 150th anniversary, we asked readers aged between18 and 25 to enter an essay competition. The task was to tell us, in no more than 1,000 words, what scientific advance they would most like to see in their lifetimes, and why it mattered to them.The response was phenomenal: we received 661 entries. Some entrants hoped that science would make their lifetimes much longer than they can currently expect. Many looked forward to work that will end climate change. Others wanted to see advances in our understanding of human history, crop growth, space exploration, and medical technologies. The ideas were inspiring.The winner is a compelling essay by Yasmin Ali, a PhD student at the University of Nottingham, UK. Ali submitted a piece on Beethoven, her brother’s hearing loss and the science which she hoped would one day cure it. It stood out to the judges as a reminder of why many scientists do research: to make the world better tomorrow than it is today.All essays were judged by a group of Nature editors. The top ten submissions were then ranked by three members of a separate judging group: Magdalena Skipper, editor-in-chief of Nature; Faith Osier, a researcher; and Jess Wade, a physicist. All submissions were kept anonymous throughout the process.We also selected two runners-up(非冠军的获奖者).Physicist Robert Schittkoat Harvard University inCambridge, Massachusetts, proposes that nuclear fusion(核聚变) could offer a solution to the climate crisis, in a piece that effortlessly mixes grand ambition with gentle humour. And chemist Matthew Zajac at the University of Chicagoin Illinois wrote a powerful personal account of why he wants to see advances in the field of same-sex reproduction.The results show that today’s young scientists have a wealth of ideas, talent and conviction that research can transform their world. We look forward to seeing what they do next.8. What’s the essay competition about?A. The scientific expectation.B. The fantastic scientific ideas.C. The dreams of future life.D. The celebration of anniversary.9. Why Yasmin Ali was chosen the winner?A. She showed great talent in music.B. She found the cure for the loss of hearing.C. She appealed for people to care about hearing loss problem.D. She reminded people to remember the meaning of science development.10. What can we learn about the result of the essay competition?A. Robert Schittko won the second place.B. There were two winners in the essay competition.C. Matthew Zajac presented his view of same-sex reproduction.D. The two runners-up were selected for the same field they chose.11. What isthe author’s attitude to the competitors’ ideas about science expectations?A. Doubtful.B. Favorable.C. Impossible.D. Ignorant.DThe headmaster of a primary school showed on television to support her idea that parents should “dress appropriately in daywear” when they drop off and pick up their kids from school.Kate Chisholm, head teacher atSkerneParkAcademyin Darlington, theU.K., sent a letter home asking parentsto set a better example for their children.“I have noticed there has been an increasing tendency for parents to drop off and pick up their kids from school while still wearing their pajamas (睡衣),” Chisholm wrote.“Could I please ask that when you are sending your children, you take the time to dress appropriately in daywear that is suitable for the weather conditions?”Kate Chisholm wants parents at her school to dress nicer. She appeared on British television station ITV to further explain her decision, saying she had started noticing the pajama trend had been picked up by “30 or 40” parents at school.Despite her determination to make school a nicer place to be, Chisholm admits that she can't demand that parents dress up-such as Karen Routh, 49, who wore pajamas to drop off her 8-ycar-old daughter Holly, because she was running late and didn't feel well.“I imagine there might be some people who keep up wearing pajamas for the next six months to prove a point,” Chisholm said. “I can't force people to get dressed but I will keep sending letters home in the hope that they decide to put on a pair of jeans.”Wearing pajamas in public has also become a hot issue for some schools and States in theU.S.In 2015, aFloridaschool board member insisted on a dress rule for parents who showed up in the school in sleepwear.12. The headmaster asks parents to pay attention to ______.A. the way they dressB. the relations with teachersC. the way they treat their kidsD. the clothes they buy for their kids13. How does Chisholm try to change this situation?A. Asking kids to set examples.B. Keeping them out of school.C. Sending letters to persuade them.D. Forcing them to change by laws.14. Why did Kate Chisholm appear on ITV?A. She wanted to force Karen to dress properly.B. Parents spent less time on their clothes.C. She wanted to explain her decision about the parents' dress.D. She wanted to tell us more and more parents wear pajamas to school.15.

Many people now misunderstand emotional intelligence as almost everything desirable in a person's makeup that cannotbe measured by an IQ test, such as character, motivation, confidence, mental stability, optimism and “people skills.” Research has shown that emotional skills may contribute to some of these qualities, but most of them move far beyond skill-based emotional intelligence.We prefer to describe emotional intelligence as a specific set of skills that can be used for either good or bad purposes. The ability to accurately understand how others are feeling may be used by a doctor to find how best to help her patients, while a cheater might use it to control potential victims. Being emotionally intelligent does not necessarily make one a moral person.Although popular beliefs regarding emotional intelligence run far ahead of what research can reasonably support, the overall effects of the publicity have been more beneficial than harmful. The most positive aspect of this popularization is a new and much needed emphasis (重视) on emotion by employers, educators and others interested in promoting social well-being. The popularization of emotional intelligence has helped both the public and researchers re-evaluate the functionality of emotions and how they serve people adaptively in everyday life.Although the continuing popular appeal of emotional intelligence is desirable, we hope that such attention will excite a greater interest in the scientific and scholarly study of emotion. It is our hope that in coming decades, advances in science will offer new perspectives (视角) from which to study how people manage their lives. Emotional intelligence, with its focus on both head and heart, may serve to point us in the right direction.4. What is a common misunderstanding of emotional intelligence?A. It can be measured by anIQ test.B. It helps to exercise a person’s mind.C. It includes a set of emotional skills.D. It refers to a person’s positive qualities.5. Why does the author mention “doctor” and “cheater” in paragraph 2?A. To explain a rule.B. To clarify a concept.C. To present a fact.D. To make a prediction.6. What is the author’s attitude to the popularization of emotional intelligence?A. Favorable.B. Intolerant.C. Doubtful.D. Unclear.7. What does the last paragraph mainly talk about concerning emotional intelligence?A. Its appeal to the public.B. Expectations for future studies.C. Its practical application.D. Scientists with new perspectives.CMany Americans experience surprise (or disappointment) when they wake up on Christmas Day. They might be surprised or disappointed by a family member’s actions. They might be happy or unhappy about a Christmas gift. Imagine a child expects to get an Xbox or PlayStation for Christmas. On Christmas morning, they quickly open their gift. Inside is an English grammar book. They might feel disappointed. The Everyday Grammar team would prefer the new English grammar book. But if you are like most young people, you would probably rather have a new video game.Today, we are going to explore those feelings-feelings of surprise and disappointment. In other words, we are going to explore how speakers show that reality was better or worse than their expectations.Many languages use words to express expectation. Speakers also use words to express how events are not happening as expected. This idea is known as “counter expectation”.Do not worry about the term. Just remember that it means that speakers use words to show that reality is countering their expectations.English has many words that serve this purpose. Three of the most common are the words “even”, “still” and “actually”. You will often hear them in informal, everyday speech. Speakers use these words to show disappointment. The pitch of their voice tells you what they mean. Let’s study examples of each word.Speakers often use the word "even” to show disappointment or surprise. Imagine a young child that expects a phone call from a family member-perhaps an uncle or grandparent. The phone call never comes. The child might say the following: “What’s wrong with him? He didn’t even call me on Christmas day.” Americans sometimes use “still” for showing how reality does not quite meet their expectations: “You’re still here? It’s over! Go home. Go!” Another common word that shows surprise or disappointment is “actually”: “I can’t believe it! Uncle Bob actually stole her Christmas gift.”8. What might most young Americans prefer as a Christmas gift according to paragraph 1?A. A newly made video game.B. An English grammar book.C. A new designed school bag.D. A unique jacket from their parents.9. What does the underlined phrase “counter expectation” in paragraph 3 mean?A. Expression of disappointment.B. Something expected to happen.C. The same with one’s expectation.D. A result against what is expected.10. What do the three words “even”, “still” and “actually” have in common?A. They are easy to understand.B. They express disappointment.C. They show delighted feelings.D. They are used most at Christmas.11. What’s the last paragraph mainly about?A. Expectations from loved ones.B. Different uses of the three words.C. Examples of the use of the three words.D. Emotions of disappointment and surprise.DA North Atlantic right whale calf(幼崽) was discovered dead on the beach of an island off North Carolina. The male newborn was found on North Core Banks, part of the Cape Lookout National Seashore. The reports indicate that the animal died during birth or shortly after, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration(NOAA). Scientists took DNA to determine the calf’s mother.This is the beginning of the right whale’s reproduction(繁殖) season, which begins mid-November and runs through mid-April. NOAA called this death a disastrous start to the season. Each new right whale calf brings so much hope for this badly endangered animals, and losses like this have a great impact on their recovery, NOAA said.The right whale is one of the rarest marine mammals(哺乳动物) in the world, according to NOAA. They will soon be extinct unless something is done to save it, researchers warn. This kind of whale has been experiencing an Unusual Death Event over the past three years, according to NOAA. Since 2017, at least 32 dead and 13 seriously wounded whales have been documented by the organization. “This means more than 10 percent of the remaining population,” according to NOAA.NOAA posted a piece of news on Monday, the same day they announced the calf’s death, warning boaters to be watchful as the whales are migrating(迁徙) nearly 1,000 miles along the Atlantic Coast. The organization calls for boaters to be watchful, slow down and to give these endangered whales plenty of room. They also ask all fishermen to remove their unused nets from the ocean to help avoid possibledamage.12. Why did scientists take DNA of the calf?A. To save its mother.B. To confirm its identity.C. To determine the time of its death.D. To uncover the cause of its death.13. How many right whales are left according to the passage?A. About 40.B. About 50.C. About 400.D. About 500.14.

AI had a very special teacher in high school many years ago whosehusband unexpectedly died of a heart attack. About a week after hisdeath，she shared some of her views with a classroom of students.As the sunlight came in through the classroom windows and theclass was nearly over，she moved a few things aside on the edge of her desk and sat down there. She paused and said，“Before class is ov er，I would like to share with all of you a thought that is unrelated to class，but which I feel is important. Each of us comes to this world to learn，share，love，appreciate and give. None of us knows when this fantastic experience will end. It can be taken a way at any moment.”Her eyes beginning to water，she went on：“So I would like you all to make me a promise.From now on，on your way to school，or on your way home，find something beautiful to notice. It doesn't have to be something you see. It could be a scent of freshly baked bread from someone's house，or it could be the sound of the wind slightly rustling the leaves in the trees.”The class was completely quiet. We all picked up our books and left the room silently. That afternoon，I noticed more things on my way home from school.Take notice of something special you see on your way home today. Go barefoot on the beach at sunset. For as we get older，it is not the things we did that we often regret，but the things we didn't do.21．What is the purpose of the author's writing the passage？____A．To show his respect to his teacher.B．To ask us to appreciate every moment of our life.C．To ask us never to give in when facing difficulty.D．To show the influence that a teacher has on her students.22．What does the under lined word “scent” mean？____A．Smell.

But Sophia knew just how impo rtant MakeAWish could be because this special organization had helped to make a dream come true for one of her best friends. We were interested in finding out more，so we went along to meet Sophia and listen to what she had to say.Sophia told us that Mak eAWish is a worldwide organization that started in the United States in 1980.“It's a charity(慈善机构)that helps children who have got very serious illnesses. MakeAWish helps children feel happy even though they are sick，by making their wishes and dreams come true，” Sophia explained.We asked Sophia how MakeAWish had first started. She said it had all begun with a very sick young boy called Chris，who had been dreaming for a long time of becoming a policeman. Sophia said lots of people had wanted to find a way to make Chris's dream come true—so，with everybody's help，Chris，only seven years old at the time，had been a“ policeman” for a day.“ When people saw how delighted Chris was when his dream came true，they decided to try and help other sick children too，an d that was the beginning of MakeAWish，”explained Sophia.Sophia also told us the Foundation tries to give children and their families a special，happy time. A MakeAWish volunteer visits the families and asks the children what they would wish for if they could have anything in the world. Sophia said the volunteers were important because they were the ones who helped to make the wishes come true. They do this either by providing things that are necessary，or by raising money or helping out in whatever way they can.24．Sophia found out about MakeAWish because her best friend had ____.A．benefited from it B．volunteered to help itC．dreamed about it D．told the author about it25．According to Sophia，MakeAWish ____.A．is an international charityB．was understood by nobody at firstC．raises money for very poor familiesD．started by drawing the interest of the public26．What is said about Chris in Paragraph 3？____A．He has been a policeman since he was seven.B．He gave people the idea of starting MakeAWish.C．He wanted people to help make his dream come true.D．He was the first child MakeAWish helped after it had been set up.AABCA year ago August，Dave Fuss lost his job driving a truck for a small company in west Michigan. His wife，Gerrie，was still working in the local school cafeteria，but work for Dave was scarce，and the price of everything was rising. The Fusses were at risk of joining the millions of Americans who have lost their homes in recent years. Then Dave and Gerrie received a timely gift—$ 7,000，a legacy (遗产)from their neighbours Ish and Arlene Hatch，who died in an accident.“It really made a difference when we were going under financially.” says Dave.But the Fusses weren't the only folks in Alto and the neighbouring town of Lowell to receive unexpected legacy from the Hatches. Dozens of other families were touched by the Hatches' generosity. In some cases，it was a few thousand dollars；in others，it was more than $ 100,000.It surprised nearly everyone that the Hatches had so much money，more than $ 3 million—they were an elderly couple who lived in an old house on what was left of the family farm.Children of the Great Depression，Ish and Arlene were known for their habit of saving. They thrived on (喜欢)comparison shopping and would routinely go from store to store，checking prices before making a new purchase.Through the years，the Hatches paid for local children to attend summer camp when their parents couldn't afford it.“Ish and Arlene never asked if you needed anything，”says their friend Sandy Van Weelden，“They could see things they could do to make you happier，and they would do them.”Even more extraordinary was that the Hatches had their farmland distributed. It was the Hatches' wish that their legacy—a legacy of kindness as much as one of dollars and cents—should enrich the whole community(社区) and lastf for generations to come.Neighbours helping neighbours—that was Ish and Arlene Hatch's story.27．Which of the following is true of the Hatches？____A．They had their children during the Great Depression.B．They left the family farm to live in an old house.C．They gave away their possessions to their neighbours.D．They helped their neighbours to find jobs.28．Why would the Hatches routinely go from store to store？____A．They decided to open a store.B．They wanted so save money.C．They couldn't afford expensive things.D．They wanted to buy gifts for local kids.29．According to Sandy Van Weelden，the Hatches were ____.A．understanding B．optimisticC．childlike D．curious30．What can we learn from the text？____A．The community of Alto was poor.B．The summer camp was attractive to the parents.C．Sandy Van Weelden got a legacy from the Hatches.D．The Hatches would like the neighbours to follow their example.CBAD第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

ACoffee has a history dating back to at least the 9th century and has been a catalyst for social interaction across cultures and eras. Originally discovered in Ethiopia, coffee beans were brought into the Middle East by Arab traders, spreading to Egypt, Yemen, Persia, Turkey, and North Africa by the 15th century. Muslim merchants eventually brought the beans to the thriving port city of Venice, where they sold them to wealthy Italian buyers. Soon, the Dutch began importing and growing coffee in places like Java and Ceylon (largely through slave labor), and the British East India Trading Company was popularizing the beverage in England. Coffee spread across Europe and even reached America.Where there has been coffee, there has been the coffeehouse. From the 15th century Middle Eastern establishments where men gathered to listen to music, play chess, and hear recitations from works of literature, to Paris' Cafe le Procope where luminaries of the French Enlightenment such as Voltaire, Rousseau, and Diderot came to enjoy a hot cup of joe, coffeehouses have traditionally served as centers of social interaction, places where people can come to relax, chat, and exchange ideas.The modern coffee shop is modeled on the espresso and pastrycentered Italian coffeehouses that arose with the establishment ofItalianAmerican immigrant communities in major US cities such as New York City's Little Italy and Greenwich Village, Boston's North End, and San Francisco's North Beach. New York coffee shops were often frequented by the Beats in the 1950's. It wasn't long before Seattle and other parts of the Pacific Northwest were developing coffee shops as part of a thriving counterculture scene. The Seattlebased Starbucks took this model and brought it into mainstream culture.Although coffeehouses today continue to serve their traditional purpose as lively social hubs in many communities, they have noticeably adapted to the times. Rediscovering their purpose as centers of information exchange and communication, many coffee shops now provide their customers with internet access and newspapers. It has become extremely common to see someone sitting at a Starbucks listening to musicor surfing the web on his or her laptop. Coffee stores today also maintain a fairly identifiable, yet unique aesthetic: wooden furniture and plush couches, paintings and murals drawn on walls, and softlighting combine to give coffee shops the cozy feeling of a home away from home.Today, big business retail coffee shops are expanding quickly all over the world. Starbucks alone has stores in over 40 countries and plans to add more. Despite its popularity, Starbucks has been criticized and labeled by many as a bloodsucking corporate machine, driving smaller coffee shops out of business through unfair practices. This has even spawned an anticorporate coffee counterculture, with those subscribing to this culture boycotting big business coffee chains. Increasingly popular coffee stores such as The Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf are also giving Starbucks some stiff competition. In any case, it seems pretty clear that coffee has weaved itself into the fabric of our consumeroriented culture.21．We can infer from the passage ________.A．Starbucks has beaten all the competitorsB．there are no changes in the development of coffee cultureC．the taste of coffee has changed a lotD．Starbucks has some effect on the development of coffee culture 22．The famous coffeehouse “Starbucks” originally came from________.A．Seattle B．EthiopiaC．Java D．France23．Nowadays, if you come to a coffeehouse, you can ________.A．play chess with other customersB．enjoy delicious dishes from South AmericaC．surf the internetD．watch a TV playDACBLate that afternoon I took the train back to Sydney. There I found another surprise waiting for me. My room had been given to somebody else and they had no room for me. Harkin had known my travel plans and had arranged everything; how could he have booked the room only for three days? There was nothing to be done but to find another hotel. The waiters were happy to find me a new hotel, and when I said that I was happy to stay at the Airport, thinking it might be cheaper than staying in the city, they suggested the Holiday Inn at the airport. There was one smallmatter: the room rate was $300 per night. The best hotel in Katoomba had wanted only$145. I asked if there were anything cheaper they might suggest but they warned that most hotels would already be full by this time.The hotel was far from the train station, so I'd best take a taxi, at $25. On the way to the Holiday Inn, we passed a hotel just two blocks from the Holiday Inn that advertised a room rate of $104. At the desk I asked if their room rate could go down a lot. “No, this is a 4star hotel，”the waiter told me. “In that case，” I replied, “I'll just walk the two blocks to the cheap hote l.”But she warned me that they were probably full and that if I didn't take the room, it might not be available if I came back. Finally，I decided to take the room.The room itself was big, but the air conditioning couldn't keep up with the Australian heat. I couldn't get to sleep until about 1：00 am. 24．Why did the writer have to look for another hotel?A．He didn't book early.B．Harkin made a mistake.C．He was short of money.D．He wasn't well received.25．How did the writer feel when hearing the room rate at the Holiday Inn?A．Nervous. B．Happy.C．Surprised. D．Relaxed.26．Why did the writer take a room in the Holiday Inn finally?A．It's a 4star hotel.B．It’s around the station.C．It was midnight then.D．The room was in great demand.BCDCGreg Evans started to study film at Ryerson University, but had a change of heart and switched to social work at George Brown College in second year. Yet the college recognized only one of Evans' generalinterest credits from Ryerson, and also made him take English all over again although he had passed it at university.“So I spent time and money taking a course I had already taken before, which took up time I could have been working another shift every week，” complained Evans. “The system really needs to change.”Evans was partof a chorus of Ontario students Monday cheering a new $ 73.7 million fiveyear plan to help students switch from college to university, and vice versa.After years of urging from students, Queen's Park unveiled a new Credit Transfer Innovation Fund to provide student advisers, an interactive website and orientation programs to help students move back and forth between the more handson courses of community college to the often broader academic focus of a university degree. “We hear horror stories about students who can't get recognition from one institution for a very similar course at another, and in one case I believe the same professor was teaching them both，” noted Milloy after announcing the new fund.Individual colleges and universities have hammered out nearly 500 mutual deals to honor each other's credits in certain courses, but the province wants more, especially between clusters of postsecondary institutions. It will require each school to set targets for more credittransf er agreements, and link these increases to provincial funding.More than 4,000 college graduates transfer(转学) to university in Ontario every yeartwice as many as eight years ago, noted Justin Fox, president of the College Student Alliance. Yet Ontario universities and colleges have been cautious about transferring credits, in part to avoid duplicating each other's courses, noted Bonnie Patterson, president of the Council of Ontario Universities, who welcomed the increased flexibility.27．What happened when Greg Evans switched to social work at George Brown College?A．He was considered to be unqualified for social work.B．His previous credits were not all recognized.C．He wasn't able to get enough credits.D．His English didn't reach the required standard.28. With the new $73.7 million fiveyear plan, students can________.A．get enough money to go to universityB．switch between colleges and universitiesC．get enough generalinterest creditsD．have a wise choice of courses29．According to Paragraph 3, Milloy believes ________.A．it is time that the system was changedB．the same professor can't teach in different schoolsC．students should focus on their chosen coursesD．the students' stories are horrible30．Ontario universities and colleges have been cautious about transferring creditspartly to________.A．avoid accepting unqualified studentsB．keep their similar coursesC．prevent courses from becoming similarD．attract famous professorsBBAC第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

That was, to be a steamboat man. We had temporary ambitions of other sorts, but they were only temporary.My father was a justice of the peace, and I supposed he possessed the power of life and death over all men and could hang anybody that offended him. This was distinction enough for me as a general thing；butthe desire to be a steamboat man kept intruding, nevertheless. One of our boys in town, who went away and was not heard of for-a long time, turned up as apprentice engineer on a steamboat. This thing shook the bottom out of all my Sunday—school teachings. That boy was notoriously worldly, and I was just the opposite. There was nothing generous about this fellow in his greatness. He would always manage to have a rusty nail to scrub while his boat stopped at our town, and he would sit on the inside guard and scrub it, where we could all see him. And wherever his boat was laid up he would come home and show off in the town in his blackest and greasiest clothes, so that nobody could help remembering that he was a steamboat man; and he used all sorts of steamboat technical terms in his talk, as if he were so used to them that he forgot common people could not understand them.This creature's career could produce but one result, and it was speedily followed. Boy after boy managed to get on the river. Despite many choices, pilot was the grandest position of all. The pilot, even in those days of trivial wages, had a princely salary—from 150—250 dollars a month, and no board payment.But our parents would not let us and our worry was the next year would find us hunting for jobs with low pay again. So by and by I ran away. I said I never would come home again till I was a pilot and could come in glory.4. Why does the writer mention his father's job in Paragraph 2?A. To show that his father was in power.B. To show that his father is cruel.C. To emphasize the job he prefers.D. To emphasize his love for his father.5. Which of the following can best conclude the writer's attitude toward the boy?A. He thought the boy was material but pitiful.B. He thought the boy was annoying but still envied him.C. He thought the boy was shallow but knowledgeable.D. He thought the boy was disrespectful but still liked him.6. Which of the following statements is Not True?A. The boy talked in a way to make others feel jealous.B. The boy's experience made other boys follow suit.C. The pilot's salary was ly high but without meals covered.D. The writer was ambitious to make his childhood dream come true.7. What rhetorical method does the underlined sentence have?A. Simile.B. Personification.C. Parallelism.D. Irony.C“Tell her,” I whispered to my daughter as she pressed her body against mine. She folded my free arm around her little shoulders while I finished loading the groceries onto the conveyer belt.I smiled at the young cashier who had a butterfly knot tied to her black ponytail(马尾辫). My daughter was right when she'd whispered to me, “Her hair is so pretty.”“Tell her,” I repeated witha gentle push. My girl only dug her pink cheeks deeper into my side as she nervously twisted the edge of my sleeve in her small fist.The cashier looked down at my daughter, her expression showing a little concern. “My daughter thinks your hair is beautiful.” I explained.The cashier's face lit up. “You do?” This led my little one out of her hiding place. She looked up and nodded.“Thank you so much! You made my day,” the cashier said with a smile brilliant enough to compete with her highlights. My daughter returned it with a shining smile of her own.As I walked out of the store, holding my daughter's hand, I stole a glance back at the young woman. Her energy was clearly brighter now than it had: been when we first entered her line.After loading my groceries in the trunk, I climbed into the driver's seat. It was then that my daughter made a declaration, “Mom, I think I'm going to start telling everyone when I like their hair.” “You should, honey.” And she did. She still does.It's a rare occasion if we make a trip out in public without her telling someone that she loves their hair, or nails, or shirt, or shoes. To be honest, I think she even does so more than me. And it's one of my favorite things about this girl. She learned, at a very young age, that by simply telling people when you see beauty in them, you can draw out the beauty of human connection.8. Why was the author's daughter nervous in the store?A. She was frightened of the cashier.B. She was too shy to express herself.C. She was unable to pay the groceries.D. She was unhappy to greet a stranger.9. What made the cashier more energetic in her work?A. The praise from a little girl.B. The support of the customers.C. The competition environment.D. The understanding of a mother.10. What does the author think of her daughter now?A. Kind and independent.B. Lively and cheerful.C. Careful and generous.D. Smart and proud.11. What is the best title of the text?A. The Beauty Of Good MannersB. The Power In Raising Others UpC. A Girl's New Way OutOf TroubleD. A Mother's Love For Her DaughterDWatching what you eat can be easier said than done, but a recent study shows it might not just be about what's on your plate — it could be about how quickly it disappears.Japanese researchers followed 1,083 adultsfor five years, splitting them into three categories based on how quickly they ate: slow, normal, and fast. They also answered a questionnaire at the beginning of the study, sharing their diet, physical activity, and medical history. In the beginning, none of the volunteers had metabolic syndrome (新陈代谢综合征) - meaning at least three risk factors — which can lead to health problems like heart conditions and diabetes.When the participants reported back five years later 84 had been diagnosed (诊断) with metabolic syndrome — and their eating speed was a major predictor, according to the results in the journal Circulation. The fast eaters were 89 percent more likely to have metabolic syndrome than slow and normal eaters. Just 2.3 percent of slow eaters received the diagnosis, compared to 11.6 percent of fast eaters. But that's not all. Fast eaters also saw more weight gain, larger waistlines, and higher blood sugar levels than slow eaters.The researchers saygobblingmakes it easier not to take notice of fullness before your body has a chance to signal you to stop. “So when people eat fast they are more likely to overeat,” said Takayuki Yamaji, MD, study author and cardiologist at Hiroshima University in Japan in a statement.Previous research backs up the weight benefits of slow eating, too. One study of New Zealand women found fast eaters have higher body-mass indexes (指数), and a Chinese study found that both healthy and fat men ate less when told to chew 40 times instead of 15 times before swallowing.

AThe Portuguese manowar(僧帽水母), commonly called the bluebottle in Australia, is another stinging jellyfish (水母)．It iswidely seen throughout the warmer seas of the world，especiallyin the Australian summer months in shallow, coastalwaters.Besides, it is not uncommon to find thousands of Portuguese manowar floating in groups off the popular surfing beaches in Queensland，Australia.Actually，the blue bottle is not a single sea animal，but consists a large colony of smaller marine organisms(有机体)．It is a large, gasfilled, bladderlike(胆状物)blue float, which can be up to 30 centimeters in length and rise above the water as much as 15 centimeters.The float has a crest which is used much as a sail to push the colony across the water when the wind blows.Groups of polyps are attached to the underside of the blue bladder，and very long tentacles(触手) extend from each of the polyps.Each of the tentacles has stinging cells that are capable of killing fish up to 10 centimeters long.The poison from the stinging cells causes breathing problems and muscle weakness, and it is through these actions that the blue bottle catches and kills its victims.Although the sting from the blue bottle is not as deadly to humans as the box jellyfish, a person who comes into contact with a blue bottle will still suffer a lot.The sting can cause serious side effects including fever, shock and breathing problems.The severe pain from the sting may last about two hours, and depending upon treatment, the pain will usually disappear in seven hours.The usual, quick but effective first aid treatment for the sting from a blue bottle is to pour vinegar over the area of the sting and over the tentacles, before removing the tentacles from the skin.21．How does the Portuguese manowar get its name blue bottle？____A．From the blue ocean it lives in.B．From the sea plants it feeds on.C．From the colour and shape of its body.D．From the polyps that are attached to it.22．Compared with box jellyfish, the blue bottle____.A．doesn't like attacking human beingsB．prefers to live in a colder environmentC．can't be found off the beaches in QueenslandD．is not as harmful to humans as box jellyfish23．If a man is stung by the blue bottle，he ____.A．will suffer from a sharp severe painB．may stop breathing in seven hoursC．can only go to the hospital to get treatedD．should drink some vinegar to reduce painCDABPacific Science Center Guide◆Visit Pa cific Science Center's StoreDon't forget to stop by Pacific Science Center's Store while you are here to pick up a wonderful science activity or souvenir to remember your visit.The store is located(位于) upstairs in Building 3 right next to the Laser Dome.◆Hungry?Our exhibits will feed your mind, but what about your body?

Dolphins use theirbrains differently from people.But scientists say dolphin intelligence and human intelligence are similar in some ways.How?Fact 1：Talk to meLike humans, every dolphin has its own “name〞．The name is a special whistle.Each dolphin chooses a specific whistle for itself, usually by its first birthday.Actually, scientists think dolphins, like people, “talk〞 to each other about a lot of things, such as their ages，their feelings, or finding food.And, like humans，dolphins usea system of sounds and body languages to communicate.But understanding their conversations is not easy for humans.No one speaks dolphin's language yet, but some scientists are trying to learn.Fact 2：Let's playDolphins are also social animals.They live in groups, and they often join others from different groups to play games and have fun—just like people.In fact，playing together is something only intelligent animals do.Fact 3: Fishermen's helperDolphins and humans are similar in another way：both make plans to get something they want.In the seas of southern Brazil, for example, dolphins use an interesting strategy to get food.When fish are near a boat, dolphins show signs to the fishermen to put their nets in the ing this method, the men can catch a lot of fish.What is the advantage for the dolphins in doing so？They get to eat some of the fish.27．What does a dolphin often use as its “name〞？____A．A body language.

AMany of us have heard of the saying：everything is possible if you can just believe. But few of us really know the power of faith and perseverance. South African swimmer Natalie du Toit embodies those virtues.Du Toit，became the first swimmer to compete in both the Olympic Games and the Paralympics(残奥会)in Beijing. Although she finished 16th in the tough 10 km marathon in the ablebodied Games，she has collected three golds in the Paralympics so far.One of the most successful disabled athletes of all time，Natalie du Toit was already a promising swimmer when she lost her leg in a motorcycle accident in 2001，at just 17.“There are a lot of dark mo ments，”du Toit said.“There are some days when I cry. But I try to remember that better days are ahead. You just go on.”Within a few months，she was back in the swimming pool.She still competes and still succeeds. The only difference is that she has switched to longer events—from 200 m and 400 m individual medley to 800 m and 1,500 m freestyle—to make up for her loss of speed with only one leg. But she made no adjustment to her mental outlook(精神面貌)．“Going out in the water，it feels as if there's nothing wrong with me. It doesn't matter if you look different. You're still the same as everybody else because you have the same dream.”She is the owner of many world records，and she also won gold when competing against ablebodied swimmers in the 1,500 m freestyl e at the All Africa Games in 2007.But there is no magic recipe for success. It all comes down to hard work and determination.“She is stubborn，which is good and bad，”said her coach Karoly Von Toros.“Good for the swimming，but bad for the coach.”There is a poem that hangs on her wall that reads:The tragedy of life does not lie in not reaching your goals；The tragedy of life lies in not having goals to reach for.21．Natalie du Toit is a vivid example that ____.A．you are what you believeB．your biggest enemy is yourselfC．results are not so important as the processD．you must set reasonable goals or you will fail22．The underlined word in the first paragraph means ____.A．makes B．createsC．represents D．introduces23．According to the text，Natalie du Toit became ____.A．the first athlete to compete with ablebodied swimmers in the worldB．the youngest disabled swimmer to break the world record in the 1,500 m freestyleC．the youngest disabled swimmer to collect three golds in a single Paralympics D．the first swimmer to compete in both the Olympic Games and the Paralympics ACDBGetting less sleep has become a bad habit for most American kids. According to a new survey(调查) by the National Sleep Foundation,51% of kids aged 10 to 18 go to bed at 10 pm or later on school nights，even though they have to get up early. Last year the Foundation reported that nearly 60% of 7 to 12yearolds said they felt tired during the day，and 15% said they had fallen asleep at school.How much sleep you need depends a lot on your age. Babies need a lot of rest: most of them sleep about 18 hours a day! Adults need about eight hours. For most schoolage children，ten hours is ideal(理想的)．But the new National Sleep Foundation survey found that 35% of 10 to 12yearolds get only seven or e ight hours. And guess what almost half of the surveyed kids said they do before bedtime? Watch TV.“More children are going to bed with TVs on，and there are more opportunities(机会) to stay awake，with more homework，the Internet and the phone，” says Dr.Mary Carskadon，a sleep researcher at Brown University Medical School. She says these activities at bedtime can get kids all excited and make it hard for them to calm down and sleep. Other experts say part of the problem is chemical. Changing levelsof body chemicals called hormones not only make teenagers' bodies develop adult characteristics，but also make it hard for teenagers to fall asleep before 11 pm.Because sleepiness is such a problem for teenagers，some school districts have decided to start high school classes later than they used to. Three years ago，schools in Edina，Minnesota，changed the start time from 7：25 am to 8：30 am. Students，parents and teachers are pleased with the results.24．What is the new National Sleep Foundation survey on？____A．American kids' sleeping habits.B．Teenagers' sleeprelated diseases.C．Activities to prevent sleeplessness.D．Learning problems and lack of sleep.25．How many hours of sleep do 11yearolds need every day？____A．7 hours. B．8 hours.C．10 hours. D．18 hours.26．Why do teenagers go to sleep late according to Carskadon？____A．They are affected by certain body chemicals.B．They tend to do things that excite them.C．They follow their parents' examples.D．They don't need to go to school early.ACBCI had made up my mind a long time ago that I would not give a homeless person money，because I could never be sure what that money would be used for. Instead，I decided，I would buy them a sandwich，a cold drink on a hot day，a cup of coffee，whatever I could manage.I was out recently and saw a homeless man outside of a Starbucks. So I dropped another few coins in and went into the Starbucks. I decided I would buy this man lunch. I bought a sandwich and soda.Just as I was leaving the store，two policemen were approaching the man. Obviously the shop owners had complained of his wandering and the police were there to draw him away from the storefronts. Just as they were about to wake him，I asked one of the officers if it was all right if I just gave the man something before he went.I was not sure why I asked the permission but the policeman said sure and I justleft the bag in the man's cart，got in my car and drove off.As I was driving off I remember thinking.“I hope people saw that” .Then I had to seriously ask myself why I hoped people had seen me give the man a sandwich from Starbucks. Was it because I wanted people to think，“ She's such a nice person！”？Why did I hope others had seen me do it? I continued to wonder this all evening.The next morning it came to me. I wanted people to have witnessed that small act of kindness so that I would receive credit and praise but so that they might be inspired to do the same and in so doing that others still would witness their acts of kindness. Thus the whole spirit of pity and giving would be lasting.27．The underlined word “Starbucks” in the second paragraph is the name of a ____.A．shop B．bookstoreC．bank D．man28．When the author saw the homeless man，he was ____.A．begging outside B．buying goodsC．staying awake D．falling asleep29．What's the purpose of the passage？____A．To show the author is great.B．To encourage people to help others.C．To introduce an experience that changed the author.D．To call on people not to give money to a homeless man.30．The author can be best described as ____.A．badtempered B．hardworkingC．kindhearted D．selfconfidentADBC第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
