AKettle’s Yard, CambridgeThis modern-art gallery in a Victorian house was founded in the 1950s by Tate Jim and reopened in February following a two-year redevelopment by Jamie Fobert Architects, the team behind the 2017 Tate Steves extension.

Knights, scholars and the highwayman (拦路强盗）or thieves, who had been infamous for their clever robberies, passed by each other.Here, also, were noblemen dressed in gold, from Italy and Spain and France; slaves from Spanish America, sea captains and ministers, soldiers and servants—all held by chances or interests within the gray walls which circled London, and whose gates gave welcome to as strange a crowd as could be found in the world.Into this curious crowd came Shakespeare, quick to see and eager to learn. And before long all these strange sights were as familiar to him as the faces of his own town’s residents. Each one told its story to him so plainly that, as before he had learned the secrets of the fields and woods, so now he learned men and men’s interests t hat make up the great world.And he learned these lessons so well that when he came to write his plays, he made such use of them as no writer ever made before or since; for it is the use of this knowledge of the world, combined with his own genius, that makes Shakespeare the greatest dramatist that has ever lived.24. What was London like in Shakespeare’s eyes when he first went there?A. Dirty and small.B. Strange and interesting.C. Infamous and terrible.D. Familiar and modern.25. Which of the following best describes Shakespeare?A. Shakespeare got inspiration to write from his hometown, London.B. Shakespeare was eager to make friends with the noblemen in London.C. Shakespeare was good at observing and learning from the daily life.D. Shakespeare became the greatest dramatist owing to his own genius.26. What does the word “one” in paragraph 5 refer to?A. Crowd.B. Resident.C. Face.D. Sight.27. The passage probably comes from______.A. a posterB. a textbookC. an advertisementD. an announcementCStanding desks have become common across Silicon Valley, offering health benefits to those willing to work on their feet. However, due to their high price, they have failed to catch on until now. Recently, Ikea has brought out Bekant convertible（可变换的）standing desk that can become a normal desk at the touch of a button. The $500 adjustable desk can transform from a standard desk to a standing one, and Ikea hopes it could make the standing desk mainstream.Experts say that changing from a seated to a standing desk can improve productivity. Similar desks have become a common sight at tech firms such as Google, where some employees have even installed treadmill (跑步机) and bicycle desks.The desk is not the first “convertible” on the market. As early as 2013, Stir Kinect brought out an adjustable desk. The $3,890 Stir Kinect desk has a motor to raise and lower itself, changing it into a standing desk or a traditional desk. The desk can even be programmed to move up and down slightly, making it appear to take a gentle breath to remind the user to change their positions. To move between sitting and standing positions, owners simply double tap on the screen. The desk can learn the user’s preferences over time and suggest the best seating position.The Stir Kinect desk was created by a team of ex-Apple and Disney engineers. It has a built-in touch screen to control and track movement, and can tell users exactly how manycalories they burn by standing during their working day. It also has devices containing power points and USB ports for charging phones, to keep cables hidden.“ Ikea’s height-adjustable desk is great for opening up the lower end of the market, ’’ said JP Labrosse, founder and CEO of Stir.28. What is the text mainly about?A. Ikea has brought out an adjustable standing desk.B. Silicon Valley offered health benefits to officials.C. Google formed their tech firms to design bicycle desks.D. The Stir Kinect desk will become mainstream in the market.29. Which of the following is TRUE according to the text?A. Before Bekant desk, similar adjustable desks have been widely used.B. The seated desks will take the place of the standing desks in the future.C. Compared to the Stir Kinect desk, the Bekant desk is much cheaper.D. The adjustable desks were designed by the Apple and Disney Company.30. The Stir Kinect desk______.A. can breathe in and breathe out by pressing the button onceB. can charge phones by using a device containing power pointC. can tell you how many calories you need for a walkD. can advise you to do more exercise at a proper time31. What can we infer from the last sentence given by JP Labrosse?A. Ikea’s adjustable desk will be popular with average people.B. Ikea will have to sell furniture at a lower price in the future.C. This height adjustable table can only be found in Ikea.D. It is not necessary for Ikea to open up the market at all.DAirbags, now found in almost every vehicle, have saved countless lives and largely reduced the severity of injuries in crashes. Similar technology could greatly reduce broken hips (髋部) resulting from a fall, something most seniors fear.Dr. Robert Buckman and his start-up company, Active Protective in Allentown, Pennsylvania, has developed a promising solution, a wearable airbag that can protect hip bones in the event of a fall. The idea was the result of Dr. Buckman’s years as a doctor at Temple University. He noticed how many elderly people were being brought into hospitals with broken hip due to falls, and how they often never completely recovered from the injuries. He started to ask what he could do for these people, and that was when he started trying to figure out whether there was a way of helping people who were at the highest risk of falling and suffering these kinds of injuries.The device is worn much like a regular belt, but on the outside of the clothing, and it includes sensors that monitor the movement of hips. If the device detects that the person, is falling, an airbag opens before the person hits the ground, cushioning the fall. When the wearer hits the ground, the bag reduces the force to the hip bones by 90 percent, enough to avoid the majority of hip injuries.With one out of every three people aged 65 and older suffering serious falls each year, Active Protective has a big market for its wearable device. It also has the potential to sizably reduce hip - related health care expenses: Hip injuries among the elderly cost the US health care system in 2012 $30 billion, which doesn’t include the long-term care expenses associated with the high percentage of patients that can no longer live independently.32. What is the purpose of the Active Protective’s airbag?A. To avoid hip injuries among seniors.B. To protect seniors from car accidents.C. To help seniors with their daily nursing.D. To help doctors deal with serious injuries.33. What inspired Dr. Robert Buckman to make the device?A. A report on seniors’ health.B. A serious fall he experienced.C. His work experiences as a doctor.D. Suggestions of seniors at Temple University.34. How does the device mainly work?A. By predicting road conditions.B. By speeding up bone recovery.C. By reducing the effects of falling.D. By preventing people from failing.35. What does the author think of the Active Protective’s airbag?A. It still needs improving.B. It has a promising future.C. It may encourage seniors to do exercise.D. It may increase America’s spend on seniors.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，选项中有两项为多余选项。

AWhen you are traveling in Thailand，which means of transport is the best choice？You can rent a variety of motorbikes or bikes in Thailand．It s eems to be very popular in most of the beaches and islands al ong the places in the north． The most popular bikes are the l ittle 125 cc Honda Dream which you can get for about 150 ba ht (铢) a day or as little as 3，000 baht per month，making it the cheapest way to tour Thailand for the people fro m other countries．Sometimes you will have to go somewhere by taxi．When yo u are in cities in Thailand，especially in Bangkok，always remember to get a taxi that is traveling on the roads．Some drivers outside hotels refuse to use the meter（计程表）．They will ask a price which is several times the price w hen they use the meter!The quality of the roads in Thailand is generally pretty good，so renting cars is another way to get around．The big car rent al companies may offer you slightly older cars at a very reaso nable price．It is a little surprising considering that the cost of buying a car in Thailand is more than that in the West．Petrol is also reasonably priced in Thailand，more expensive than American prices，but much cheaper than what is paid in Europe．In the past，Bangkok could be a difficult place to drive in﹣signs were generally in Thai only，making it a hard job to find exactly where you were by looking around．But now，the situation is improved．In a lot of places，even the farthest corners of the country，street signs are in both Thai and English．21．To a foreigner，the most economical way to get around Thailand is renting a ．A．motorbike B．car C．taxi D．bike22．What is the writer's advice about taking a taxi in Thailand ？A．To make sure there is a meter in it．B．To take a taxi parked outside hotels．C．To take a taxi going on the road．D．To bargain with the driver over the price．23．It was difficult to drive in Bangkok in the past because ．A．there were too many traffic jams on the roadsB．the signs were written only in their own language C．there were no signs at the farthest cornersD．the quality of the roads was not good．BIt was in the Victorian Era（维多利亚时期）that the novel became the leading form of literature in English ．Most writers were more concerned to meet the tastes of the middle class．The best known works of the period included t he works of Charles Dickens and the Bronté sisters and other s．Charles Dickens came on the literary scene in the 1830s．Dickens wrote vividly about London life and the struggles of the p oor．Most of his works were written in a very humorous style ，which was popular with readers of all classes．The Bronté sisters were English writers of the 1840s and 185 0s．They began to write from early childhood．In 1846 they p ublished the first book at their own expense as poets； howev er，their book attracted little attention，selling only two copies．Then the sisters turned to writing nov els，each producing a novel in the following year．An interest in rural matters and the changing social and econo mic situation of the countryside may be seen in the novels of Thomas Hardy and a number of others．Literature for children developed as a single style．Some wor ks became well﹣known，such as those of Lewis Carroll and Edward Lear．Adventure novels were written for adults but are now generally grouped i n the list for children．Helen Beatrix Potter was an English au thor at the end of the Victorian Era，best known for her children's books，which featured animal characters．In her thirties，Potter published the highly successful children's book The Tal e of Peter Rabbit in 1902．24．What can we know about Charles Dickens from the text ？A．He described the struggles of the poor in London．B．He showed an interest in rural matters in his writing．C．He focused on changing social and economic situation of the countryside．D．He published the highly successful children's book．25．Which is TRUE about the Bronté sisters？A．They were English writers of the 1830s．B．They paid to have their first book published．C．They began their writing from adulthood．D．Their first book was successful．26．The author states in the last paragraph that ．A．society changed rapidly in the Victorian EraB．Thomas Hardy was not as famous as Lewis Carroll C．Edward Lear was famous for writing about animals D．adventure novels were not written for children at first 27．This text is mainly aboutA．literature in the Victorian EraB．writing styles in the Victorian EraC．famous works in the Victorian EraD．the importance of literature in the Victorian Era．CMusic is magic! Music speaks louder than words and it is a "la nguage" that the whole world can understand．A piece of mu sic can produce a response in the heart and mind．Like feelin g an electrical current or receiving a personal radio signal，music has a spiritual effect on a person．Different kinds of m usic influence people in different ways．I have listened to music all my life．When I was twelve years old，the Beatles came to America and my whole world opened up ．Maybe young people today cannot understand the influenc e of the Beatles when they exploded across America．Their i nfluence changed the way we dressed，looked，acted and spoke…even our culture．The Beatles arrived in A merica from the UK just under three months after the assassi nation（暗杀）of President John Kennedy，which had put America into a great depression．And the fres hness and lively spirit of the Beatles was exactly what the cou ntry needed to refresh itself．Music links the heart of the hearer with that of the composer ．This means that it mixes the spirit of the composer with you r spirit when you listen to it．And the music can take your spirit out of your body and transport you into another world．Musi c has a great way of touching people．Music can make you la ugh，cry or shout．It's also a great source of inspiration．Try this one day and notice what happens：make yourself a cup of tea，sit on your sofa and play one of your favorite songs．Close y our eyes，and soon you'll find yourself creating vivid mental images﹣matching the music that you are listening to．28．Music has magical power because it ．A．is a k of languageB．can be played much louder than wordsC．receives a personal radio signalD．can influence a person's spirit29．One can learn from the second paragraph that the Beatle s ．A．were the biggest band in American historyB．are not accepted by modern American people C．appeared at a special time in American politics D．represented the roots of American culture30．One will do all of the following while listening to music EX CEPT ．A．feeling very refreshedB．having emotional changesC．painting some vivid picturesD．feeling inspired by the composer31．It can be inferred from the passage that the author．A．has been influenced by the BeatlesB．enjoys drinking tea in his spare timeC．admires President John Kennedy very muchD．likes to match his own feeling with that of the composer．DDid you know that sixty percent of your body weight is water ？However，a loss of only two percent of this water through dehydration (脱水) during exercise can significantly affect your performance. The more you sweat，the more your exercise performance declines，unless you drink enough to replace your loss of fluids.When you lose too much water，you can overheat quite easily，especially in a warm environment. But this is not the only prob lem you may be faced with. Dehydration leads to your heart p umping much faster，which means exercise becomes more difficult and requires m ore effort. Despite these problems，however，many of us simply do not take enough fluids in when we head for the gym or set out on a run.So why is this? How do we manage to lose so much water wit hout simply drinking more to replace it？Well，it is s easier than you think. When we are at rest，we quickly become aware that we are thirsty and will put that r ight by having a drink. When we exercise，on the other hand，our thirst mechanism(结构)does not work as effectively，so we don't notice early enough that we are actually thirsty. In fact，we only start to feel thirsty when we have already lost around two percent of our body weight.Another problem is that，the more dehydrated we become during exercise，the more difficult it is to prevent further dehydration—because our stomachs become intolerant to fluids and we donot absorb water properly，just when we need it most.The key thing about fluids and exercise is to manage your inta ke properly—regular small amounts are better，and some should be drunk before the period of exercise begin s. You also need to match your intake to the sort of exercise y ou are doing. For instance，for one hour of exercise，such as taking part in a 10 km run，you need to drink about two extra liters of water. For longer p eriods of exercise，sports drinks are recommended.32. We know from the text that during exercise，dehydration________.A. can be easily avoidedB. will lead to poor performan ceC. can cause many health problemsD. will be controlled wh enever we drink again33. Why do people suffer from dehydration easily during exer cise？A. Their thirst mechanism stops working.B. Their focus is o n the exercise.C. Their thirst response is slow.D. Their stomachs are full.34. When exercising，you are advised to________.A. have regular breaksB. drink water accordinglyC. drink sports water in advanceD. have at least two liters of water35. What would be the best title for the text?A. Keep fitB. Say no to sports!C. Time to get drinking! to avoid dehydration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。

2019届高三上学期英语开学考试试卷一、阅读理解1. 阅读理解One night about nine o’clock, Dr. Eyck, a surgeon, had a phone call from Dr. Haydon at the hospital in Clens Falls. The surgeon was asked to go there at once to operate on a very sick boy who shot himself while playing with a gun.The doctor was soon on his way to Clens Falls. It was 60 miles away. And it was snowing heavily in the city. The surgeon thought he could get there before12 o’clock.A few minutes later, the doctor was stopped by a man in an old black coat.

Dr. Haydon told him that the boy had died an hour before. The two doctors walked by the door of the hospital waiting room.

Birds, fish and other animals move from one place to another at a certain time. They move for different reasons: most of them move to find food more easily, but others move to get away from places that are too crowded.When cold weather comes, many birds move to warmer places to find food. Some fishes give birth in warm water and move to cold water to feed.The most famous migration is probably the migration of the fish, which is called “salmon”. This fish is born in fresh water but it travels many mil es to salt water. There it spends its life. When it is old, it returns to its birthplace in fresh water. Then it gives birth and dies there. In northern Europe, there is a kind of mouse. They leave their mountain homes when they become too crowded. They move down to the low land. Sometimes they move all the way to the seaside, and many of them are killed when they fall into the sea.Recently, scientists have studied the migration of a kind of lobster. Every year, when the season of bad weather arrives, the lobster get into a long line and start to walk across the floor of the ocean. Nobody knows why they do this, and nobody knows where they go.So, sometimes we know why humans and animals move from one place to another, but at other times we don’t. Maybe l iving things just like travel.（1）Most animals move from one place to another at a certain time to _____.A . give birthB . enjoy warmer weatherC . find food more easilyD . find beautiful places（2）The mice in northern Europe move when _____.A . they need fresh waterB . the weather is badC . the place gets too crowdedD . they haven’t enough food（3）This passage is mainly about _____.A . why animals move from one place to anotherB . how animals can find food easilyC . new discoveries of animals travelingD . some problems withtraveling3. 阅读理解It was a warm April day when a big fat envelope came in the mail from the only college I had ever imagined attending. I tore open the packet. My eyes were fixed on the word “congratulations”. I don’t remember ever smiling so wide.Then I looked at my financial package.The cost of Dream School’s tuition, room and board was around ＄40,000 ? An impossible sum! How could I afford to attend? What good reasons did I have to go there when three other fine colleges were offering me free tuition? My othe r choices were good, solid schools even if they weren’t as famous as my first choice.In my mind, attending my dream university would be the only way to realize my dream of becoming a world-class writer. My parents understood how I felt. They told me that even though it would be a financial problem, I could go wherever I would be happiest. But as I was always careful with money, I wasn’t sure what to do.One of the schools that offered me a full ride had an informational dinner one night in the spring. Co nsidering my parents’ financial difficulties, I decided to drive the 45 minutes and attend. At first, all I had planned to do was smile politely, eat free food, listen quietly. But I surprised myself.At dinner the president of the university talked about the wonderful activities on campus including guest lectures and social gatherings. He alsomade it perfectly clear that free food would be offered at all future events. He continued with explanations of professors, class sizes, activities, and sporting events on campus. As he spoke, I began to realize that this school, though not as good as my first choice, might be the best one for me. It seemed small yet with many great programs. It seemed challenging yet caring.As the president ended his speech, we clapped politely and pushed back our chairs. As I walked out of that door, a feeling of comfort washed over me. Looking at the campus that night, I realized that I would be spending the next four years right there.In all honesty, my university is not as well-known as my “dream” university. However, it turned out to be the right choice of schools for me.（1）How did the author feel when he started to read the letter?A . He was full of joy.B . He was lost in his dream.C . He was worried about the money.D . He was uncertain which school to go to.（2）We can learn from the passage that the parents were ______.A . honestB . strictC . supportiveD . decisive（3）In Paragraph 5, “offered me a full ride” can be replaced by “______”.A . would pay for transport to the schoolB . would show me around the campusC . would offer free meals at all eventsD . would charge me nothing for tuition（4）What does the author mainly want to say?A . Your second-choice college may actually be your best fit.B . You shouldconsider comfort in your choice of schools.C . You should try your best to attend your dream school.D . Your choice of schools should be based on their fame.4. 阅读理解In general, people talk about two groups of colors: warm colors and cool colors. Researchers in psychology think that there are also two groups of people: people who prefer warm colors and people who prefer cool colors.The warm colors are red, orange and yellow. Where there are warm colors and a lot of light, people usually want to be active. People think that red, for example, is exciting. Sociable people, those who like to be with others, like red. The cool colors are green, blue and violet. These colors, unlike warm colors, are relaxing. Where there are cool colors, people are usually quiet. People who like to spend time alone often prefer blue.Red may be exciting, but one researcher says that time seems to pass more slowly in a room with warm colors than in a room with cool colors. He suggests that a warm color, such as red or orange is a good color for a living room or restaurant. People who are talking or eating do not want time to pass quickly. Cool colors are better for offices or factories if the people who are working there want time to pass quickly.Researchers do not know why people think some colors are warm and other colors are cool. However, almost everyone agrees that red, orange, and yellow are warm and that green, blue, and violet are cool. Perhaps warm colors remind people of warm days and the cool colors remind them of cool days.Because in the north the sun is higher during summer, the hot summer sunlight appears yellow.（1）Which of the following colors belong to cool colors?A . Yellow, green.B . Blue, violet.C . Black, blue.D . Brown, white.（2）Which of the following statements is not true?A . Sociable people like warm colors.B . Warm colors can make people excited.C . People who like to be with others don’t like red.D . Where there are warm colors, people want to be active.（3）Which is the right color for different rooms?A . Red or orange for offices.B . Orange for dining-rooms.C . Blue for bedrooms.D . Red for studies.（4）What is the main idea of the last paragraph?A . It shows the reason why people think some colors are warm and others are cool.B . Warm colors remind people of warm days.C . Cool colors remind people of cool days.D . People have an agreeable opinion of warm colors and cool colors.二、任务型阅读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，选项中有两项为多余选项。

2019届高三上学期英语开学考试(应届)试卷真题
2019届高三上学期英语开学考试（应届）试卷一、阅读理解1. 阅读理解Philadelphia offers a ton of attractions that are suitable for people of every age and here are some family—friendly attractions.Spruce Street Harbor ParkSpruce Street Harbor Park, one of the best urban beaches in American, is an outdoor heaven on the Delaware River waterfront. Visitors can relax in a hammock, play on the playgrounds, and play games like table tennis and giant chess.

While others may think of Florida, we dream of a cabin vacation in New York’s Allegany State Park.One particular trip, I recall, was just a bit more memorable than the rest. What we now refer to as the snow pants incident began accidentally enough. My husband, Bernie, and our 2-year-old daughter, Faith, were building a snow fort while I sledded down a nearby slope.On the way back up from one trip, I saw a small stone tumbling down the track I had just made. I was puzzled, since all the other rocks were buried under several feet of snow, as I stood and wondered about the stone---it jumped! This was no stone. This was a mouse.Now, I love nature, but that doesn’t include mice. I loudly protested the invader, and Bernie, coming to my rescue, assured me that this was not a mouse but a mole, as if that mattered. A mouse or a mole I still didn’t like it.Bernie and I stood for a few minutes watching the creature disappear from the path into the furry white and come back out again. But soon it disappeared and I headed up the hill again.Shortly after I left, my husband screamed out, saying that the mole had gone up the leg of his snow pants. You have to understand Bernie can be quitea joker, and I smelled a rat. Not wanting to be a sucker and fall for another one of his jokes, I laughed it off. When he started running for the cabin, though, I stopped laughing and decided maybe this was for real.“Don’t you dare take that thing into the house!” I yelled. But like a flash, Bernie was already dashing through the cabin’s front door, with his snow pants, the mole and all. If it were me, I’d have been down to my long underwear right there in the snow without a second thought.A few minutes later Bernie appeared. We relished the rest of our winter vacation, drinking lots of hot chocolate, sitting beside the fireplace and admiring nature---from a safe distance.（1）Why did the author’s husband come to her rescue?A . Because the “mouse” frightened herB . Because she hardly controlled the sledC . Because the snow fort she built was damagedD . Because she stepped on the stone and fell down（2）When her husband said that the mole had gone up the leg of his snow pants, the author was ______.A . curiousB . puzzledC . excitedD . doubtful（3）What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A . They enjoyed the rest of their holidayB . They were fond of hot chocolateC . Her husband had freedom at lastD . Nature can be dangerous at times（4）What could be the best title of the text?A . A Memorable Experience with a JokerB . The Painful Incident inAllegany State ParkC . Family’s Funny Vacation in the SnowD . My Strong Love for Nature3. 阅读理解In cooperation with German experts, several scientists from the University of Bradford believe that they finally solved a mystery that has been confusing millions of people: why our hair turns gray with age.The researchers came up with their results by examining native hair and cells from human hair follicles（毛囊）. They say the secret turns out to be hidden in catalase（过氧化氢酶）, which is causing hair to turn gray.Catalase production goes down with age and stress, allowing hydrogen peroxide（过氧化氢）in the hair to do its favorite job—making hair gray, and then white, by blocking the normal production of melanin（黑色素）. Melanin is our hair’s natural pigment that is responsible for the color of hair. It also determines the color of our eyes and skin.Dr. Gerald Weizmann, an editor of a journal, says,” All of our hair cells make a tiny bit of hydrogen peroxide, but as we get older, this little bit becomes quite a lot, and our hair turns gray and then white.”The new study brings hope for millions of people who have to color their hair: to finally obtain some shampoo that will decrease levels of hydrogen peroxide and therefore restore gray or white hair to its natural color or even prevent it from turning gray.The researchers are already conducting an experiment with such a drug on a few volunteers with gray hair and expect to get the results in the next twoto three months. If everything works out, millions of people will choose between this drug and other previously used expensive dyes. However, even if the drug works, it will take at least several years before it can be brought to the market.（1）What is the passage mainly about?A . The effect that gray hair has on people.B . The chemical elements of people’s hair.C . The reason why people’s hair turns gray.D . New drugs to prevent people’s hair from turning gray.（2）According to the passage, p eople’s hair turns gray because of______.A . a decrease in catalaseB . the death of hair cellsC . the production of melaninD . a decrease in hydrogen peroxide（3）Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A . The new study shows i t’s harmful to color our hair with dyes.B . Dr. Gerald Weizmann is in charge of the new drug experiment.C . Our hair cells make lots of hydrogen peroxide when we are young.D . We may restore our gray or white hair to its natural color with shampoo.（4）What can we learn from the last paragraph?A . Only a small number of people can use the new drug.B . Most of the volunteers in the experiment are old people.C . The drug cannot be brought to the market soon even if it works.D . The researchers have already known the results of the experiment.4. 阅读理解Many years later, when people recall the 2018 Russia World Cup, they willremember many things. With the tragic ending of the defending champion Germany, Mexico has triumphantly and suddenly lost three goals in the face of Sweden. But people will never forget the back of a lonely person. That is Lionel Messi.31-year-old Messi took off the green armband of his left arm and suddenly fell out. In the recent match, he and his team lost the game against France. The 19-year-old striker Mbappé relentlessly ripped apart the Argentine defense line and scored twice, which made a great contribution to the victory of France.On this planet, anyone who knows a little about football knows the name Lionel Messi and his golden years from 2007 to 2017.In 2007, 19-year-old Messi tied Real Madrid three times with a hat-trick, and began his legendary career.In the past ten years, Mr. Football, the Golden Globe Award and the Golden Boot Award have been taken over by him.He led Argentina and Barcelona to make a name for themselves in the world, and has a brilliant record in the Champions League, America’s Cup and World Cup.Eleven years later, Messi stood on the Kazan Stadium. After four World Cups, he knew that this might be the last time he led Argentina to the World Cup.Since 1986, Argentina has never won a championship again. As a captain, he has a great responsibility, even stating that he would withdraw from thenational team if he did not win the championship this year.This is a prophecy.Messi, who eventually failed to save the game, did not receive any interview after standing up on the lawn; leave behind only a legendary image for the world.（1）The underlined word “relentlessly” in paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to __________?A . mercilesslyB . bravelyC . activelyD . remarkably（2）Why did Messi take off the green armband of his left arm?A . It is a common action of football players after each match.B . He was disappointed about the result of the game.C . He was too tired and wanted to change his clothes.D . He was wounded on the arm during the game.（3）Which of the following statement is TRUE?A . Messi has ever played in Real Madrid and Barcelona.B . Messi began his football career since 2007.C . Argentina won the championship of the America’s Cup in 1986.D . Messi might quit the Argentina National Team this year.二、任务型阅读5. 根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能够填入空白处的最佳选项。

Expecting a whole day to relax, hewas thinking whether to read the newspaper or watch his favorite TV talk show on his first day off in months. “This will be like a walk in the park,” he’d told his wife. “I’ll look after the kids, and you can go visit your mom.”Things started well, but just after eight o’clock, his three little “good kids”—Mike, Randy, and Alex—came d own the stairs in their night clothes and shouted “breakfast, daddy.” When food had not appeared within thirty seconds, Randy began using his spoon on Alex’s head as if it were a drum. Alex started to shout loudly in time to the beat (节拍). Mike chanted “Where’s my toast, where’s my toast” in the background. Brad realized his newspaper would have to wait for a few seconds.Life became worse after breakfast. Mike wore Randy’s underwear on his head. Randy locked himself in the bathroom, while Alex shouted again because he was going to wet his pants. Nobody could find clean socks, although they were before their very eyes. Someone named “Not Me” had spilled a whole glass of orange juice into the basket of clean clothes. Brad knew the talk show had already started.By ten o’clock, things were out of control. Alex was wondering why the fish in the jar refused his bread and butter. Mike was trying to show off his talent by decorating the kitchen wall with his color pencils. Randy, thankfully, appeared to be reading quietly in the family room，but closer examination showed that he was eating apple jam straight from the bottle with his hands. Brad realized that the talk show was over and reading would be impossible.At exactly 11:17, Brad called the daycare centre (日托所). “I suddenly have to go into work and my wife’s away. Can I bring the boys over in a few minutes?” The answer was obviously “yes” because Brad was smiling.24. When his wife left home, Brad expected to _______.A. go out for a walk in the parkB. enjoy his first day off workC. watch TV talk show with his childrenD. read the newspaper to his children25. Which of the following did Randy do?A. Drawing on the wall.B. Feeding the fish.C. Eating apple jam.D. Reading in a room.26. Why did Brad ask the daycare centre for help?A. Because he wanted to clean up his house.B. Because he suddenly had to go to his office.C. Because he found it hard to manage his boys home.D. Because he had to take his wife back.27. How is the text developed?A. By time.B. By comparison.C. By process.D. By space.CAfter years of heated debate, gray wolves were reintroduced to Yellowstone National Park. Fourteen wolves were caught in Canada and transported to the park. By last year, the Yellowstone wolf population had grown to more than 170 wolves.Gray wolves once were seen here and there in the Yellowstone area and much of the continental United States, but they were gradually displaced by human development. By the 1920s, wolves hadpractically disappeared from the Yellowstone area. They went farther north into the deep forests of Canada, where there were fewer humans around.The disappearance of the wolves had many unexpected results. Deer and elk populations—major food sources (来源) for the wolf—grew rapidly. These animals consumed large amounts of vegetation(植被), which reduced plant diversity in the park. In the absence of wolves, coyote populations also grew quickly. The coyotes killed a large percentage of the park’s red foxes, and completely drove away the park’s beavers.As early as 1966, biologists asked the government to consider reintroducing wolves to Yellowstone Park. They hoped that wolves would be able to control the elk and coyote problems. Many farmers opposed the plan because they feared that wolves would kill their farm animals or pets.The government spent nearly 30 years coming up with a plan to reintroduce the wolves. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service carefully monitors and manages the wolf packs in Yellowstone. Today, the debate continues over how well the gray wolf is fitting in at Yellowstone. Elk, deer, and coyote populations are down, while beavers and red foxes have made a comeback. The Yellowstone wolf project has been a valuable experiment to help biologists decide whether to reintroduce wolves to other parts of the country as well.28. What is the text mainly about?A. Wildlife research in the United States.B. Plant diversity in the Yellowstone area.C. The conflict between farmers and gray wolves.D. The reintroduction of wolves to Yellowstone Park.29. What does the underlined word “displaced” in paragraph 2 mean?A. Tested.B. Separated.C. Forced out.D. Tracked down.30. What did the disappearance of gray wolves bring about?A. Preservation of vegetation.B. Damage to local ecology.C. A decline in the park’s income.D. An increase in the variety of animals.31. What is the author’s attitude towards the Yellowstone wolf project?A. Positive.B. Doubtful.C. Disapproving.D. Uncaring.DReading to dogs is an unusual way to help children improve their literacy skills (读写能力), With their shining brown eyes, wagging tails, and unconditional love, dogs can provide the nonjudg-mental listeners needed for a beginning reader to gain confidence (自信心), according to Intermountain Therapv Animals (ITA) in Salt Lake City. The group says it is the first program in the country to use dogs to help develop literacy in children, with the introduction of Reading Education Assistance Dogs (READ).The Salt Lake City Public Library is sold on the idea. “Literacy specialists admit that children, who read below the level of their fellow pupils are often afraid of reading aloud in a group, often have lower self-respect, and regard reading as a headache.” said Lisa Myton, manager of the children’s department.Last November the two groups started “Dog Day Afternoon” in the children’s department of the main library. About 25 children attended each of the four Saturday-afternoon classes, reading for half an hour. Those who a ttended three of the four classes received a “pawgraphed” book at the last class.The program was so successful that the library plans to repeat it in April, according to Dana Thumpowsky, public relations manager.32. What is mainly discussed in the text?A. Children’s reading difficulties.B. Advantages of raising dogs.C. Service in a public library.D. A special reading program.33. Specialists use dogs to listen to children reading because they think _______.A. dogs are young children’s best friendsB. children can play with dogs while readingC. dogs can provide encouragement for shy childrenD. children and dogs understand each other34. By saying “The Salt Lake City Public Library is sold on the idea,” the writer means the library_____.A. uses dogs to attract childrenB. accepts the idea put forward by ITAC. has opened a children’s departmentD. has decided to train some dogs35. A “pawgraphed” book is most probably_______.A. a book used in Saturday classesB. a book written by the childrenC. a prize for the childrenD. a gift from parents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。
