Urban Transportation in CanadaPublic transportation & Transit passesAll cities and most major towns in Canada have a public transportation system with one or more modes of transportation (bus, subway, train, etc.). The bus is the most common form of urban transportation in Canada. To use public transportation, you must purchase a ticket or a transit pass. Transit passes allow you unlimited use of public transportation for a specific period (one month or more). They are usually cheaper than buying many tickets if you plan to use public transportation often.Transportation for people with disabilitiesPublic transportation often has features to assist people with disabilities. In many cities and towns, there are also transportation services available specifically for people with limited mobility, such as specially equipped buses. You can find out about these services in the same way you would learn more about other public transportation options.Etiquette on public transportationWhen taking public transportation such as a bus or train, it is important to understand the unspoken rules of conduct in the shared space. Here are a few things to note:♦ Be polite and respectful to others around you. For example, maintain an appropriate noise level when talking or making a phone call.♦ If you are carrying a backpack or a large shoulder bag in a crowded public transit vehicle, keep it close to you, preferably at your feet to avoid hitting people with it as you walk by.♦ Avoid pushing or touching others in order to make more room for yourself. Sometimes public transit can become very crowded, but it is important to keep calm and give others appropriate personal space.♦ Have your proof of payment accessible in case you are asked to show it.(1) What is the advantage of using transit passes over buying tickets?________A.Safer trips.B.Longer service hours.C.Lower costs.D.More use of transport.(2) How does the transportation system help people with disabilities?________A.By running special transport services.B.By offering fewer transportation options.C.By limiting their mobility on city buses.D.By providing free rides in towns and cities.(3) What is considered impolite on public transportation?________A.Lowering your speaking voice.B.Placing backpacks at your feet.C.Staying close to other passengers.D.Having your proof of payment at hand.【答案】CAA【考点】完形综合阅读理解综合【解析】作者通过这篇文章向我们介绍了公共交通及过境通行证,残疾人交通以及公共交通礼仪.【解答】(1)C 细节理解题,根据第一段Transit passes allow you unlimited use of public transportation for a specific period (one month or more). They are usually cheaper than buying many tickets if you plan to use public transportation often.可知如果你经常乘坐交通工具那么使用过境通行证买票会便宜很多,故选C.(2)A 细节理解题,根据第二段 In many cities and towns, there are also transportation services available specifically for people with limited mobility, such as specially equipped buses.可知在许多城市和城镇,也有专为行动不便的人的运输服务,如专门配备的公车,故选A.(3)A 细节理解题,根据第四段Be polite and respectful to others around you. For example, maintain an appropriate noise level when talking or making a phone call.可知在谈话或打电话时维持一个适当的噪声水平是礼貌的,因此声音不能过高也不能过低,故选A.2. Today we talk about a time when half the world is waking from the dark, cold winter months. Spring! We often describe “spring” as a time of rebirth, renewal and awakening. Many trees are blossoming and early flowers are pushing through the earth. Things are coming to life!But the word “spring” is not just a season. It is also a verb that means something goingon or coming out quickly.When you put “spring” and “life” together,you will get “springto life”. This expression means something suddenly becomes very active or perhaps seems more alive! You may “spring to life” after hearing that a distant friend will be visiting you.Or maybe your favorite soccer team finally “sprang to life” in the second half, played well and won the match.Now, besides being a season and a verb the noun “spring” refers to a metal coil (线圈)that is wound tightly. When the coil unwinds, it often jumps. So, we often say a person “has a spring in his step” if he is lively and active. He might even appear to jump, or bounce a little when he walks.There is another way we use “spring” as a description. In the case of a “spring chicken”,“spring” means young. However, “spring chicken” is also an informal, humorous way to refer to someone who isn’t young at all. So, we use this expression in the negative form, as in “no spring chicken”. For example, let’s say y ou know an 85﹣year﹣old man who decides to run a marathon, even though he has never exercised before. You could say, “That’s amazing! After all,he’s no spring chicken.”But be careful when using this expression. It could be a little disrespectful. L et’s say your boss shows you a picture of his wife, and you say, “Wow,she’s no spring chicken.”That response would be disrespectful and a bad career move.(1)What does “spring” mean in the expression “spring to life”?________A.The season after winter.B.Being young and healthy.C.A tightly wound metal coil.D.To occur or appear quickly.(2)What is the passage mainly about?________A.The origin of the word “spring”.B.The meaning of the season “spring”.C.Some expressions with the word “spring”.D.Some characteristics of the season “spring”.(3)How does someone feel when he “has a spring in his step”?________A.Angry.B.Surprised.C.Happy.D.Frightened.(4)What can be inferred from the last paragraph?________A.Being young is a great advantage in career development.B.Women may feel offended when described as “no spring chicken”.ing “spring﹣related” expressions in conversations seems impolite.D.Expressions with the word “spring” are always disrespectful to others.【答案】DCCB【考点】完形综合阅读理解综合【解析】本文属于说明文阅读,作者通过这篇文章主要向我们描述了“春天”这个词的一些表达方式.【解答】(1)D.细节理解题.根据文章 It is also a verb that means something going on or coming out quickly.When you put “spring” and “life” together,you will get “spring to life”可知春天“在”生命之泉"这句话中的意思是迅速出现或出现;故选D.(2)C.细节理解题.根据文章But the word “spring” is not just a season. It is also a verb that means something going on or coming out quickly可知这篇文章主要讲的是“春天”这个词的一些表达方式;故选C.(3)C.细节理解题.根据文章 So,we often say a person “has a spring in his step” if he is lively and active. He might even appear to jump, or bounce a little when he walks可知当某人“有一个春天在脚下”时,他是快乐的;故选C.(4)B.细节理解题.根据文章But be careful when using this expression. It could be a little disrespectful.Let’s say your boss shows you a picture of his wife, and you say,“Wow,she’s no spring chicken可知当被描述为”没有小鸡"时,女性可能会觉得受到冒犯;故选B.3.

They can go along the Walk of Fame and visit movie studios or see the Dolby Theater, where the Oscars are presented. But beyond these, movie fans have limited possibilities.Eric Garcetti, the mayor of Los Angeles says the Academy Museum will provide visitors the chance to experience many different parts of the film industry all in one place.

"You won't necessarily know what's coming next, " he adds. "You'll be in environments sometimes that make you feel likeyou've gone back to the past and that you're in the area that you're actually exploring." He adds that visitors may even get the chance to walk down a red carpet and accept their own Academy Award.Currently, Hollywood only has a few possibilities for visitors. They can go along the Walk of Fame and visit movie studios or see the Dolby Theater, where the Oscars are presented. But beyond these, movie fans have limited possibilities.Eric Garcetti, the mayor of Los Angeles says the Academy Museum will provide visitors the chance to experience many different parts of the film industry all in one place.

For your next out﹣of﹣this﹣world vacation, you now have the option of literally going out of this world﹣but it'll cost you $ 40 million. Then again, can you really put a price tag on having the time of your life? According to a new report from Popular Mechanics, Russia is looking to build a luxury hotel in outer space. There you will wake up to a breathtaking blue planet﹣the earth! The hotel is expected to be stationed on the International Space Station (ISS).While space tourism itself isn't exactly a novel idea, the notion of building a hotel out there hasn't been raised before. Really, other companies are still focused on the transportation part of ________ ﹣ after all, a trip to space is enough for most folks.According to Popular Mechanics, the hotel will include a luxury orbital suite with bigwindows, personal hygiene (卫生) facilities, exercise equipment, andyes, WiFi. Because if you can't share your experience on social media, did it really even happen?Of course, the reasons behind the hotel aren't just for fun and games. Apparently, space tourism might be able to help the Russians pay for another module to add to the international Space Station. Russian space contractor RKK Energia is currently building the first such module, which will give scientists a laboratory and power supply station from which to conduct tests.If any of this is going to happen, however, Russia is going to have to hurry. With the ISS expected to be out of use in 2028, there's little time to build the hotel and find wealthy tourists to actually buy a trip into outer space.So if you've recently come into a fortune and are interested in investing in what could bethe time of your life, ISS is calling your name.(1) What do we know about the hotel from the first paragraph?________A It is quite affordable.B It will be built in Russia.C It will offer an amazing view.D It costs $ 40 million to build.(2) What does the underlined phrase "the puzzle" in Paragraph 2 refer to?________A An orbital suite.B Space tourism.C Space exploration.D A creative idea.(3) What can be inferred from Paragraph 3?________A Hotel guests won't be able to see into space.B Visitors are required to take exercise each day.C Space travel is not possible without the Internet.D Tourists tend to share traveling experiences online.(4) The hotel will be built to provide Russian scientists with________A fun and games.B financial support.C space contractors.D more time in space.第二节:(满分10分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项.选项中有两项为多余选项,并在答题卡上将该选项涂黑.5.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。

The heart doctors can use the models to better help patients before an operation. Surgeons regularly use digital images to explore the heart in close detail. But no two human hearts are alike. This led Matthew Bramlet, a children's heart expert, to create exact heart models from those images. He says the 3D models show information he cannot get in any other way. The 3D printed model adds a new dimension to heart surgery, allowing surgeons to see defects that might not be readily apparent in digital images.A 3D printer uses images from a digital display to create a physical model of a human heart. Pictures from medical tests like a CAT scan or an MRI scan are sent to a 3D printer to create a heart in a plaster or a clay form. The printer then constructs the heart, thin layer by thin layer. Dr. Bramlet says the model matches the real heart in every detail.Dr. Bramlet has built model hearts for different kinds of heart operations. All of the operations were successful. In his first case, digital images showed only one tiny hole in a baby's heart. But the 3D printed model showed several defects that the baby was born with. Dr. Bramlet says those defects could not be seen easily in the images. The heart surgeon was able to change the type of surgery for the patient based on the 3D model. He added that 3D heart models saved time during heart operations.Kathy Magliato is a heart surgeon. She welcomes the new technology. She says it could help her make better decisions before she operates on the hearts of her patients.Matthew Bramlet continues to research the technology. He is working with the National Institute of Health to build a 3D library that includes heart models and images that others can use.28. What’s thr limitation of digital heart images?A. A lack of close details.B. Inability to display defects.C. Failure to show personal differences.D. Inaccuracy in the size of the child’s heart.29.What can the heart model created by 3D printing do?A.It can replace the human heart.B. It can conduct heart operations.C. It can make defects readily apparent.D.It can serve as an alternative to a CAT scan.30. What can we learn from the fourth paragraph?A. Dr. Bramlet wasted a lot of time in heart operations.A. 3D heart models have not been used in surgery at present.B. All of the operations were unsuccessful without 3D models.C.The model revealed defects previously unseen in the baby's heart.31.How does Kathy Magliato feel about the 3D printing?A. Tolerant.B. Supportive.C. Doubtful.D. Negative.DArchitect Vincent Callebaut recently introduced a plan for high-flying teams of self-sufficient aircraft that are one part of airship cities and one part hydrogen-producing floating farms. Called Hydrogenase (氧化酶), t h e aircraft are 100% emission-free and are capable of creating hydrogen without consuming land needed for crops or forests. We’ ve seen futuristic airships before, but never one that doubles asa hydrogen-producing flying farm! Designed for the South China Sea near Hainan,Callebaut’s hydrogenase airships are completely self-sufficient and contain a specialized breed of seaweed that absorbs sunlight andCO2 to produce hydrogen.According to the architecis, "The output obtained with micro-seaweed is superior to that of using farming to produce biofuel. 330 grams of seaweed produce 1, 000 liters of hydrogen per day, while for example soybeans produce roughly 1,000 liters of oil per hectare (公顷).Ahectare of seaweed could thus produce much more biofuel than a hectareof soybeans."In addition to providing a clean source of renewable energy,Hydrogenase airships offer an eco-friendly means of transportation. Although certainly slower than ordinary planes, the airships are nearly silent and require a very little basic structure to take off and land. The architects also suggest that the airships could provide disaster relief to remote areas, and be used as flying hospitals and aid centers. Each hydrogenase airship is covered with flexible photovoltaic cells(光电池).The interior features room for housing,offices, scientific laboratories, and entertainment, and a series of bioremediating (生物治理)vegetable gardens provide a source of food while recycling waste. Hydrogenase is certainly for futuristic concept, but il does use a setof technologies being developed today — and perhaps one day we willsee fantastic ideas like this take flight.32.What do we know about Vincent Callebaut?A.He is working on a floating farm.B.He compares many different airships.C.He has developed a self-sufficient aircraft.D.He has come up with a plan for new aircraft.33.Why do the airships contain seaweed?A.To produce oxygen.B. To create hydrogen.C. To absorb hydrogen.D. To absorb harmful gases.34.What can we learn from Paragraph 3?A.Farms with seaweed produce more food.B.Farms with seaweed are more efficient at producing biofuel.C.Soybeans can’t be planted on the airships.D.Farms with seaweed will surely replace traditional farmlands.35.What does the text mainly talk about?A.The advantages of the airships.B.The disadvantages of the airships.C.The airships renewable energy source.D.When and where the airships can be used.第二节(共5小题;每小题3分.满分15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項。

We often describe “spring” as a time of rebirth, renewal and awakening. Many trees are blossoming and early flowers are pushing through the earth. Things are coming to life!But the word “spring” is not just a season. It is also a verb that means something going on or coming out quickly. When you put “spring” and “life” together, you will get “spring to life”. This express ion means something suddenly becomes v ery active or perhaps seems more alive! You may “spring to life” after hearing that a distant friend will be visiting you. Or maybe your favorite soccer team finally “sprang to life” in the second half, played well and won the match.Now, besides being a s eason and a verb the noun “spring” refers to a meta l coil (线圈) that is wound tightly. When the coil unwinds, it often jumps. So, we often say a person “has a spring in his step” if he is lively and active. He might even appear to jump, or bounce a little when he walks.There is another way we use “spring” as a description. In the case of a “spring chicken”, “spring” meansyoung. However, “spring chicken” is also an informal, humorous way to refer to someone who isn’t young at all. So, we use this expression in the negative form, as in “no spring chicken”. For example, let’s say you know an 85-year-old man who decides to run a marathon, even though he has never exercised before. You could say, “That’s amazing! After al l, he’s no spring chicken.”But be careful when using this expression. It could be a little disresp ectful. Let’s say your boss shows you a picture of his wife,and you say, “Wow, she’s no spring chicken.” That response would be disrespectful and a bad career move.24. What does “spring” mean in the expression “spring to life”?A. The season after winter.B. Being young and healthy.C. A tightly wound metal coil.D. To occur or appear quickly.25. What is the passage mainly about?A、The origi n of the word “spri ng”B. The meaning of the season “spring”.C. Some expressions with the word “spring”.D. Some characteristics of the season “spring”.26. How does someone feel when he “has a spring in his step”?A. AngryB. SurprisedC. HappyD. Frightened27. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A. Being young is a great advantage in career development.B. Women may feel offended when describe d as “no spring chick e n”.C. Using “spring-related” expressions in conversations seems impolite.D. Expressions with the word “spring” are always di srespectful to others.CMore than 90 years has passed since Hollywood’s official film organization first proposed plans to build its own museum.Those plans are finally becoming a reality, with the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures set to open in 2019.The project is underway at the site of a historic Los Angeles department store built in 1939. Museum officials say visitors will be able to “experience the magic of cinema” by learning about all parts of the film-making process.Film historian Kerry Brougher has been named directors of the museum. Brougher says the museum will include 12 million photographs and 80,000 screenplays as well as props (道具), costumes and other objects from famous films. The Academy Museum will also feature Oscar statuettes (小雕像) donated by actors who won the awards.Brougher says the museum is designed to make visitors feel like they are in a movie, too, with many interactive experiences. “You won’t necessarily know what’s coming next,” he adds. “You’ll be in environments sometimes that make you feel like you’ve gone back to the past and that you’re in the area that you’re actually exploring.” He adds that visitors may even get the chance to walk down a red carpet and accept their own Academy Award.Currently, Hollywood only has a few possibilities for visitors. They can go along the Walk of Fame and visit movie studios or see the Dolby Theater, where the Oscars are presented. But beyond these, movie fans have limited possibilities.Eric Garcetti, the mayor of Los Angeles says the Academy Museum will provide visitors the chance to experience many different parts of the film industry all in one place. Garcetti notes the museum will also serve the hundreds of thousands of local people working in film-related businesses. He says they, too, will finally be able to visit a place that celebrates their own Hollywoodmovie industry.28. When was the idea of building a museum in Hollywood first put forward?A. In the 1920s.B. In 1939.C. In the 1990s.D. In 2019.29. What can we learn fr om Brougher’s words?A. Photos of visitors will be put on display.B. Settings in the museum will feel quite realC. Most visitors will be presented an award.D. Actors will donate much money to the museum.30. What is Eric G arcetti’s attitude towards the Academy Museum?A. Supportive.B. Critical.C. Disapproving.D. Cautious.31. What is the best title for the passage?A. The Film-making Process in Hollywood.B. The Film-making Process of Hollywood.C. Hollywood Making Plans of Film Museums.D. Hollywood Getting Its Own Film Museum.DFor your next out-of-this-world vacation, you now have the option of literally going out of this world—but it’ll cost you $ 40 million. Then again, can you really put a price tag on having the time of your life? Acco rding to a new report from Popular Mechanics, Russia is looking to build a luxury hotel in outer space. There you will wake up to a breathtaking blue planet—the earth!The hotel is expected to be stationed on the International Space Station (ISS).While sp ace tourism itself isn’t exactly a novel idea, the notion of building a hotel out there hasn’t been raised before. Really, other companies are still focused on the transportation part of the puzzle — after all, a trip to space is enough for most folks.According to Popular Mechanics, the hotel will include a luxury orbital suite with big windows, personal hygiene (卫生) facilities, exercise equipment, and yes, WiFi. Because if you can’t share your experience on social media, did it really even happen?Of cour se, the reasons behind the hotel aren’t just for fun and games. Apparently, space tourism might be able to help the Russians pay for another module to add to the international Space Station. Russian space contractor RKK Energia is currently building the first such module, which will give scientists a laboratory and power supply station from which to conduct tests.If any of this is going to happen, however, Russia is going to have to hurry. With the ISS expected to be out of use in 2028, there’s little time to build the hotel and find wealthy tourists to actually buy a trip into outer space.So if you’ve recently come into a fortune and are interested in investing in what could be the time of your life, ISS is calling your name.32. What do we know about the hotel from the first paragraph?A. It is quite affordable.B. It will be built in Russia.C. It will offer an amazing view.D. It costs $ 40 million to build.33. What does the underlined phrase “the puzzle” in Paragraph 2 refer to?A. An orbital suite.B. Space tourism.C. Space exploration.D. A creative idea.34. What can be inferred from Paragraph 3?A.

AUrban Transportation in CanadaPublic transportation & Transit passesAll cities and most major towns in Canada have a public transportation system with one or more modes of transportation (bus,subway, train, etc.). The bus is the most common form of urban transportation in Canada. To use public transportation, you must purchase a ticket or a transit pass. Transit passes allow you unlimited use of public transportation for a specific period (one month or more). They are usually cheaper than buying many tickets if you plan to use public transportation often.Transportation for people with disabilitiesPublic transportation often has features to assist people with disabilities. In many cities and towns, there are also transportation services available specifically for people with limited mobility, such as specially equipped buses. You can find out about these services in the same way you would learn more about other public transportation options.Etiquette on public transportationWhen taking public transportation such as a bus or train, it is important to understand the unspoken rules of conduct in the shared space. Here are a few things to note:♦ Be polite and respectful to others around you. For example, maintain an appropriate noise level when talking or making a phone call.♦ If you are carrying a backpack or a large shoulder bag in a crowded public transit vehicle, keep it close to you, preferably at your feet to avoid hitting people with it as you walk by.♦ Avoid pushing or touching others in order to make more room for yourself. Sometimes public transit can become very crowded, but it is important to keep calm and give others appropriate personal space.♦ Have your proof of payment accessible in case you are asked to show it.21. What is the advantage of using transit passes over buying tickets?A. Safer trips.B. Longer service hours.C. Lower costs.D. More use of transport.22. How does the transportation system help people with disabilities?A. By running special transport services.B. By offering fewer transportation options.C. By limiting their mobility on city buses.D. By providing free rides in towns and cities.23. What is considered impolite on public transportation?A. Lowering your speaking voice.B. Placing backpacks at your feet.C. Staying close to other passengers.D. Having your proof of payment at hand.BToday we talk about a time when half the world is waking from the dark, cold winter months. Spring! We often describe “spring” as a time of rebirth, renewal and awakening. Many trees are blosso ming and early flowers are pushing through the earth. Things are coming to life!But the word “spring” is not just a season. It is also a verb that means something going on or coming outsuddenly becomes very active or perhaps seems more alive! You may “spring to life” after hearing that a distant friend will be visiting you. Or maybe your favorite soccer team finally “sprang to life” in the second half, played well and won the match.Now, besides being a season and a verb the noun “spring” refers to a metal coil (线圈) that is wound tightly. When the coil unwinds, it often jumps. So, we often say a person “has a spring in his step” if he is li vely and active. He might even appear to jump, or bounce a little when he walks.There is another way we use “spring” as a description. In the case of a “spring chicken”, “spring” means young. However, “spring chicken” is also an informal, humorous way to refer to someone who isn’t young at all. So, we use this expression in the negative form, as in “no spring chicken”. For example, let’s say you know an 85-year-old man who decides to run a marathon, even though he has never exercised before. You could say, “That’s amazing! After all, he’s no spring chicken.”But be careful when using this expression. It could be a little disrespectful. Let’s say your boss shows you a picture of his wife, and you say, “Wow, she’s no spring chicken.” That response would be disrespectful and a bad career move.24. What does “spring” mean in the expression “spring to life”?A. The season after winter.B. Being young and healthy.C. A tightly wound metal coil.D. To occur or appear quickly.25. What is the passage mainly about?A. The origin of the word “spring”B. The meaning of the season “spring”.C. Some expressions with the word “spring”.D. Some characteristics of the season “spring”.26. How does someone feel when he “has a spring in his step”?A. AngryB. SurprisedC. HappyD. Frightened27. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A. Being young is a great advantage in career development.B. Women may feel offended when described as “no spring chicken”.C. Using “spring-rela ted” expressions in conversations seems impolite.D. Expressions with the word “spring” are always disrespectful to others.CMore than 90 years has passed since Hollywood’s official film organization first proposed plans to build its own museum. Those plans are finally becoming a reality, with the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures set to open in 2019.The project is underway at the site of a historic Los Angeles department store built in 1939. Museum officials say visitors will be able to “experience the magic of cinema” by learning about all parts of the film-making process.Film historian Kerry Brougher has been named directors of the museum. Brougher says the museum will include 12 million photographs and 80,000 screenplays as well as props (道具), costumes and other objects from famous films. The Academy Museum will also feature Oscar statuettes (小雕像) donated by actors who won the awards.Brougher says the museum is designed to make visitors feel like they are in a movie, too, with many interactive experiences. “You won’t necessarily know what’s coming next,” he adds. “You’ll be in environments sometimes that make you feel like you’ve gone back to the past and that you’re in the area that you’re actually exploring.” He adds that visitors may even get the chance to walk down a red carpet and accept their own Academy Award.Currently, Hollywood only has a few possibilities for visitors. They can go along the Walk of Fame and visit movie studios or see the Dolby Theater, where the Oscars are presented. But beyond these, movie fans have limitedpossibilities.Eric Garcetti, the mayor of Los Angeles says the Academy Museum will provide visitors the chance to experience many different parts of the film industry all in one place. Garcetti notes the museum will also serve the hundreds of thousands of local people working in film-related businesses. He says they, too, will finally be able to visit a place that celebrates their own Hollywood movie industry.28. When was the idea of building a museum in Hollywood first put forward?A. In the 1920s.B. In 1939.C. In the 1990s.D. In 2019.29. What can we learn from Brougher’s words?A. Photos of visitors will be put on display.B. Settings in the museum will feel quite realC. Most visitors will be presented an award.D. Actors will donate much money to the museum.30. What is Eric Garcetti’s attitude towards the Academy Museum?A. Supportive.B. Critical.C. Disapproving.D. Cautious.31. What is the best title for the passage?A. The Film-making Process in Hollywood.B. The Film-making Process of Hollywood.C. Hollywood Making Plans of Film Museums.D. Hollywood Getting Its Own Film Museum.DFor your next out-of-this-world vacation, you now have the option of literally going out of this world—but it’ll cost you $ 40 million. Then again, can you really put a price tag on having the time of your life? According to a new report from Popular Mechanics, Russia is looking to build a luxury hotel in outer space. There you will wake up to a breathtaking blue planet—the earth! The hotel is expected to be stationed on the International Space Station (ISS).While space tourism itself isn’t exactly a novel idea, the notion of building a hotel out there hasn’t been raisedis enough for most folks.According to Popular Mechanics, the hotel will include a luxury orbital suite with big windows, personal hygiene (卫生) facilities, exercise equipment, and yes, WiFi. Because if you can’t share your experience on social media, did it really even happen?Of course, the reasons behind the hotel aren’t just for fun and games. Apparently, space tourism might be able to help the Russians pay for another module to add to the international Space Station. Russian space contractor RKK Energia is currently building the first such module, which will give scientists a laboratory and power supply station from which to conduct tests.If any of this is going to happen, however, Russia is going to have to hurry. With the ISS expected to be out of use in 2028, there’s little time to build the hotel and find wealthy tourists to actually buy a trip into outer space.So if you’ve recentl y come into a fortune and are interested in investing in what could be the time of your life, ISS is calling your name.32. What do we know about the hotel from the first paragraph?A. It is quite affordable.B. It will be built in Russia.C. It will offer an amazing view.D. It costs $ 40 million to build.33. What does the underlined phrase “the puzzle” in Paragraph 2 refer to?A. An orbital suite.B. Space tourism.C. Space exploration.D. A creative idea.34. What can be inferred from Paragraph 3?A. Hotel guests won’t be able to see into space.B. Visitors are required to take exercise each day.。

The tradition of carrying or wearing one of each item is said to bring luck and fortune to the newly married couple. Have you ever stopped to think what the saying really means? What is its origin and what does each item represent?The original saying dates back to the Victoria times and states, “something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue and a silver sixpence in your shoe.”Something old A bride may wear or carry something old to represent her continued ties to her family and her old life. Many brides wear a piece of family jewelry as their old item. Some brides wear the wedding dress worn by their mother or grandmother. In many cases, something old may also be something borrowed.Something new Wearing something new is supposed to represent success and hope in the bride’s new life and in her marriage. If the bride purchased her wedding dress new, it may represent her new item, but any item that is new may be used. Something “new” is usually the easiest kind to fill.Something borrowed The borrowed item should be something borrowed from a friend that is happily married. It is said that their happiness will rub off on you and bring lasting happiness to your marriage. Some brides borrow an item of clothing, a piece of jewelry, a handkerchief or perhaps a beaded(带珠子的) purse.Something blue Wearing something blue dates back to ancient times when a blue wedding dress was worn to represent purity, fidelity and love.Silver sixpence Placing a silver sixpence in the bride’s left shoe is said to be a symbol of wealth. This not only refers to financial wealth, but also a wealth of happiness and joy throughout her married life. Since most brides probably don’t even know what a sixpence is, this part of the tradition is not used very often in modern times. However, if a bride would like to include it in her wedding, she can purchase a silver sixpence from many companies that sell bridal supplies such as garters(袜带) and invitations.24.Why does the first paragraph and with two questions?A. To invite readers to answer them at onceB. To show the importance of this traditionC. To have readers’ interest and attentionD. To test readers’ knowledge about wedding25.Which of the following statements is TRUE?A. Something old might also be something borrowed actuallyB. The part of the tradition “silver sixpence” is never used nowC. The borrowed item can be something borrowed from any friendD. Something new is usually the most difficult and expensive kind to fill26.What can we infer from the passage?A. No brides now are not familiar with the silver sixpenceB. Every item represents something good for the new coupleC. The bride will be more beautiful with all these five itemsD. Of the five items, something blue is the most important one27.Which word can replace the underlined word “fidelity” in the sixth paragraph?A. SuccessB. WealthC. LoyaltyD. OpportunityCSometimes peopl e call each other “scared-cat”. But have you ever thought about this expression? When a cat is frightened, its heart starts beating faster, its muscles get tense, and there are changes in the chemicals in its blood stream. Although the cat doesn't realize this, its body is getting ready for action. If the danger continues, the animal will do one of two things .It will protect itself, or it will run away as fast as it can.Something like this also happens to people. When we are excited, angry or seared by other feelings, our bodies go through many physical changes. Our hearts beat faster, and our muscles get tense. All of these changes make us more alert and ready to react. We, too, get ready to defend ourselves or run.Human beings, however, have a problem that animals never face. If we give way to our feelings and let them take over, we can get into trouble. Have you ever said something in anger or hit somebody and regretted it later? Have you ever shouted at a teacher, told someone you were lonely, or said you were in love, and then wished later you had kept your mouth shut? It isn't always clever to express your feelings freely.Does this mean that it's smarter always to hide our feelings? No! If you keep feelings of anger, sadness hidden away or bottled up inside, your body stays tense. Physical illnesses can develop, and you can feel disturbed badly inside. It can actually be bad for your health. It isn’t good to keep pleasant feelings inside either; all feelings need to be expressed.Feelings that you keep all bottled up inside, don't just go away. It's as if you bought some bananas and put them in a cupboard. You might not be able to see them, but before you'd smell them. And if you opened the cupboard, chances are that you’d see little fruit flies fl ying all over them. They are bad.You can try to treat feelings as if they were bananas in the cupboard. You can hide them and you can pretend they don't exist, but they'll still be around. And at last you'll have to deal with them, just like those bananas.28.When people and animals are aroused by anger or fear, .A. they feel very regretful immediatelyB. their muscles get neither tense nor relaxedC. their hearts beat either faster or slowerD. they may get ready to attack or run away29.Why do human beings get into trouble according to the passage?A. They are usually not as alert as animalsB. They sometimes can’t control their feelingsC. They always do something wrong to other peopleD. They don’t pay attention to their physical changes30.What can we infer from the passage?A. Holding in your feelings may lead to unpleasant resultsB. Bananas stay fresh longer when they are in a cupboardC. Feelings will gradually disappear when you hold them inD. It’s good for your health to keep ple asant feelings inside31.What is the purpose of this passage?A. To tell us that people’s feelings are like bananas in a cupboardB. To give us some advice on how to express our feelingsC. To help us deal with feelings in a wise and proper wayD. To p rove that it isn’t always wise to express our feelings freelyDDiamonds are considered the most famous and valuable jewel in the world. The precious stone for its great value is believed to be the symbol of wealth. Diamonds were made as a result of great volcanic beat and pressure. When a volcano is active, it sometimes explodes and causes great damage to the nearby towns.However, at the same time of such a disaster, diamonds were pushed towards the surface of the earth by a number of great volcanic explosions millions of years ago. Thus, it may be very likely to find a diamond after a volcanic eruption. Besides, diamonds are also found among the sand and stones of certain river beds, and in a few places on the floor of the sea, for they were washed down the mountain sides by the rain.Diamonds are very rare. There are not many places that produce such precious things in the world. During the last century adventurers from Europe went to Brazil, because they had heard that there were diamonds in the River Amazon. Many of these early diamond miners died of illness or were lost forever in the great forests. But some returned home rich.The earliest known diamonds were found in India many centuries ago. The most recent and exciting discoveries have been made in eastern Russia. But most of the world's diamonds now come from the Congo, from Tanzania-which has the largest diamond mine in the world and also from South Africa.32.What do we know about diamonds according to the passage?A. Diamonds are always accompanied by volcano eruptionsB. Diamonds are created by volcano eruptionsC. Diamonds are considered as a sign of wealthD. Diamonds could be always found in a few riverbanks33.Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a famous place producing diamonds?A. CongoB. South AfricaC. IndiaD. Western Europe34.What can we know from the third paragraph?A. Diamond mining can be dangerous for the minersB. Brazil plays a more important role in diamond miningC. River Amazon has no large diamond mines nowadaysD. Many miners returned home due to the risks in diamond mining35.What does the underlined sentence mean in the lost paragraph?A. Eastern Russia has been famous for diamond mining for a long timeB. The diamond deposit in eastern Russ ia wasn’t discovered until recentlyC. Eastern Russia is not as important as African countries in diamond miningD. The eastern part of Russia will replace all African countries in diamond mining第二节(共5小题;每小题3分,满分15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。

AIt looks like 2017 is shaping up to be a record-breaking year in movie history. Here is a list of some of the year’s biggest blockbusters so far.Kong: Skull IslandA reboot(重启) of King Kong would normally get laughed at in this day and age, but it looks like this modern version of the story will be worth watching. With US actress Brie Larson and UK actor Tom Hiddleston in the mix, this film is set to be this year’s biggest monster tale.Release Date: 3/10/17Beauty and the BeastDirector Bill Condon is bringing back a part of our childhood in live action, complete with the songs we all remember and love. With British stars Emma Watson and Dan Stevens leading the cast, the classic. Walt Disney story already sounds like it’ll be a delight for both children and adults.Release Date: 3/17/17The Fate of the FuriousThere was doubt that we’d even get a Fast 8, especially after the fitting ending US actor Paul Walker’s character was given at the end of Furious 7. Fans thought they’d never see Dom and the rest of the crew back in action, but thankfully US star Vin Diesel himself confirmed that The Fate of the Furious is fueling up for another go. The actor’s chara cter, Dom, turns to the dark side, funded by new enemy Cipher, played by South African actress Charlize Theron. Can the rest of Dom’s fam ily join together to bring their old leader down? Find out in April.Release Date: 4/14/17Spider-Man: HomecomingSpider Man is heading home to Marvel Studios for the first time. The movie will show us Peter Parker’s high school days, and will co ntinue the threads we saw formed during his initial appearance in Captain America: Civil Was. We know that Michael Keaton is playing The Vulture in this story, and that both Happy Hogan and Tony Stark, played by US actors Jon Favreau and Robert Downey Jr., are along for the ride. But it’s Tom Holland’s show as Spider-Man, so let’s see what he has in store.Release Date: 7/7/1721. Which of the following movies can’t you see on May Day?A. Kong: Skull IslandB. Beauty and the BeastC. The Fate of the FuriousD. Spider-Man: Homecoming22. What can we know about Beauty and Beast?A. It is fueling up for another go.B. It is produced by Marvel Studios.C. It’ll show us Peter Parker’s school days.D. It’ll be enjoyable for both children and adults.23. Dom, played by _____, turns to the dark side in The Fate of the Furious.A. Vin DieselB. Charlize TheronC. Paul WalkerD. Dan StevensBWhen Michael Phelps announced his retirement at the 2016 Rio Olympics he really had no intentionof swimming competitively again. However, that changed when the athlete was approached by the Discovery Channel to help kick off Shark Week with a race against one of the world’s fastest and most efficient animals ––a great white shark!To prepare for the big event, Phelps, who has set 3339 world records and won 28 Olympic medals, practiced by racing against a reef and a hammerhead shark ––both computer generated(电脑生成), of course. While the swimmer’s time of 18.7 seconds was enough to beat the reef shark by 0.2 seconds, he fell behind the hammerhead, which completed the 50-meter distance in 15.1 seconds.On Sunday, July 23 at 7:00 p.m., over five million viewers tuned in to the highly anticipated Phelps vs. Shark: Great Gold vs. Great White. To complete effectively against the fierce fish that can swim at speeds of up to 25 mph, or about times faster than humans, Phelps wore a custom wetsuit. It was designed to reduce drag.While television viewers saw the competitors swimming side by side, in reality, Phelps raced by himself in the cold Atlantic waters off Cape Town, South Africa. The Discovery Channel film crew then inserted his computer generated opponent simulating(模拟) a real shark’s speed.Though Phelps managed to complete the distance in an impressive 38.1 seconds, 9.41 seconds faster than his personal best of 47.51 seconds, he was no match for the great shark. Like a true champion, the fish celebrated the victory by leaping out of water.While some fans were disappointed that Phelps did not race a live shark in the ocean, staging that would have been dange rous for the swimmer. Besides, Discovery Channel’s aim in organizing the stunt was to generate excitement and interest in sharks. Given that it was the highest-rated Shark Week special in the program’s 29-year history, they sure succeeded.24. Why was Michael Phelps approached by the Discovery Channel?A. To play a role in a film.B. To help capture a shark.C. To help start Shark Week.D. To perform with animals.25. What do you learn about Michael Phelps?A. He has won 28 Olympic medals.B. He has broken 39 world records.C. He raced a live shark in the ocean.D. He had retired by the Rio Olympics.26. What can we infer about the custom wetsuit?A. It can help Michael Phelps keep warm.B. It can help TV viewers see more clearly.C. It was worn by Phelps at the Rio Olympics.D. It can help Michael Phelps swim faster.27. How much time did it take the shark to complete the distance?A. 9.41 seconds.B. 36.1 secondsC. 38.1 seconds.D. 47.51 seconds.CThe word malnourishment(营养不良) often reminds us of images of natural disasters, droughts and children with swollen bellies. But malnourishment is not just a lack of food. It can also be caused by not having enough vitamins, minerals, and protein. The absence of these key nutrients(营养品) has severe effects on the body. For example, lack of protein causes slow growth in children and decreased immunity. Not enough vitamin A in the diet causes blindness. Iron deficiency causes anaemia—a lack of red blood cells—that makes people feel tired and sleepy.World malnourishment is a complex problem, but science may offer some solutions. Scientists haveexplored many ways to improve people’s diets, from adding nutrients to food that people already eat, to creating new types of food in the laboratory.Adding nutrients to foods such as sugar during processing has been a key way to improve the nutrition of large populations. However, in very poor communities, not everyone will have access to these foods. Scientists are now developing bio-fortified(生物加强型的) foods such as Golden Rice, Which has been genetically engineered to contain Vitamin A. It can be given to people who rely on rice as a main food.Insects are good source of animal protein, fat, vitamin, fibre and mineral content. It is estimated that they already form part of the traditional diets of at least 2 billion people. Thailand, for example, already has 20,000 insect farms. New ways to cultivate and process them could see insects replace birds and mammals as sources of dietary protein.As the world’s population grows, so does the demand for meat, which requires enormous re sources to cultivate. As an alternative, scientists have grown meat in a laboratory using stem cells taken from a cow. Early results have produced very small yields, lacking in flavor. But the potential to synthetically(合成地) cultivate meat protein could be a practical solution to ever-stretched resources.28. Which of the following is the main idea of the passage?A. Scientists have grown synthetic meat in a laboratory using stem cells.B. Scientists are exploring approaches to help food with better nutrients.C. The absence of the key nutrients has severe consequences on the body.D. Malnourishment is becoming a global issue affecting millions of people.29. Which of the following is the consequence of lack of protein?A. Weaker immunity.B. Loss of eyesight.C. Faster development.D. Difficulty in sleeping.30. What do we learn about Golden Rice?A. It is rich in protein.B. It sells well globally.C. It contains Vitamin A.D. It is grown in Thailand.31. What do we learn about synthetic meat grown in a laboratory?A. It is made of milk.B. It is a great success.C. It is equal to real beef.D. It doesn’t t aste delicious.DTraditionally, it has been the worker’s role to work and management’s role to manage. Managers have planned and directed the firms operations with little thought of consulting the labor force. Managers have rarely felt forced to obtain th e worker’s opinions or to explain their decisions to their employees. At most, companies have pr ovided “suggestion boxes” in which workers could place ideas for improving procedures. In recent years, however, many management specialists have been arguing that workers are more than sellers of labor—they have a vital stake(利害关系) in the company and may be able to make significant contributions to its management. Furthermore, major company decisions affect workers and their dependents. This is particularly true of plant closings, which may put thousands on the unemployment lines. Should workers, then, play a stronger role in management?Workers should have a role in management. At the very least, the labor force should be informed of major policy decisions. A common complaint among ordinary workers is the lack of information about company policies and actions. Between 1980 and 1985 about five million workers were the victims of plant closings and permanent layoffs(失业), often with no warning. At least 90 days’ notice ought to be given insuch circumstances so that workers have time to adjust Management should consult workers before closing a plant, because the workers might be able to suggest ways of improving productivity and reducing costs and might be willing to make concessions(妥协) that will help keep the plant operating.It should become a general practice to include workers in some managerial decision making. There ought to be representatives of the workers on the firm's board of directors or other major policy-making groups. If ordinary workers are given a voice in the planning and management of the work flow, they will help to make improvements, their spirits will rise, and their productivity will increase. As a further incentive(激励), they must be given a share in the company’s profits. This can be done through employee stock ownership plans(员工持股计划), bonuses, or rewards for efficiency and productivity. Finally, when a plant can no longer operate at a profit, the workers should be given the opportunity to purchase the plant and run it themselves.32. What can we learn about managers from Paragraph 1?A. They were not quite qualified.B. They disliked “suggestion boxes”.C. They never consulted the labor force.D. They Seldom obtained workers’ opinions.33.In recent years, many management specialists have been arguing that workers _____.A. are not sellers of the products any longerB. should have a say in management of the companyC. are less affected by company decisions than beforeD. are able to make the final decisions for the company34. According to the passage, what happened between 1980 and 1985?A. Workers did not make necessary concessions.B. Many companies were closed because of strikes.C. Managers consulted workers before closing a plant.D. About 5 million workers were laid off without advance notice.35. If they are not given a voice in managerial decision making, workers _____.A. cannot get a share in the company’s profitsB. will not have the opportunity to purchase the plantC. may lack the incentive to increase their productivityD. can still get bonuses for efficiency and productivity第二节(共5小题;每小题3分,满分15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。
