AWhy go to Madrid?There may be a slight chill ( 寒冷) in the air, with temperatures staying around 15 ℃in March, but Spain's handsome capital is slowly starting to warm up. Even more attractive are the cultural events.A new exhibition on the living and working spaces of Spain's greatest artist, Picasso, has just opened in the studio at the Fundación Mapfre at Paseo de Recoletos 23. It runs until 11 May with rarely seen pieces borrowed from his family.Later this summer, the 400th anniversary of the death of the Renaissance ( 文艺复兴) painter EI Greco will be marked with an exciting exhibition at the Museo del Prado at Paseo del Prado from 24 June to 5 October.How to go?The widest range of fights is ofered by EasyJet - from Bristo, Edinburgh, Gatwick, Liverpool and Luton. British Airways and its sister arline Iberia combine fores from Heathrow and London City. Ryanair flies from Manchester and Stansted; Air Europa flies from Gatwick.Barajas airport is 13km north-east of the city centre and is served by frequent trains on Metro line 8, but the shortest underground journey is a bit complex with at least one change at Nuevos Miniterios station and takes about 30 minutes. The fare to any station in the city entre is €4.50. The airport express bus runs every 15 to 35 minutes around the clock; €5 one way. It takes 40 minutes to reach the city centre. A taxi takes half the time. A flat rate of €30 covers most of central Madrid.1.When will the exhibition about Picasso close?A. On 23 March.B. On 11 May.C. On 24 June.D. On 5 October.2.Which airline operates flights from Manchester to Madrid?A. EasyJet.B. Ryanair.C. Air Europa.D.

Take the airport express bus.BMy school appeared on the news last week because we had made an important change in our local area. Our class had planted a large garden in what was once only a vacant lot. It was a lot of work but it was all worth it. 1 got blisters (水泡) from digging, and we all got insect bites, too.I learned a lot about gardening and collaboration (合作), and then I learned about the media. Our teacher telephoned the TV station and informed them of what we had accomplished. She spoke with the producer. The producer checked with the directors, but they said there were plenty of stories similar to ours. They wanted to know what was special about our particular garden, since many schools plant them.The teacher explained that, after going on the Internet to learn about the prairie (大草原), we had made a prairie garden. We had gone to a prairie and gotten seeds from the plants, and then we planted them. We did not water the garden, but we did weed it We decided to let nature water it with rain, since that was how prairies grew in the past. We sent a picture of the garden to the news station. In the picture, the grass was so high that it stood taller than the fourth grade students.As a result, the producer sent a reporter to our school. He interviewed the headmaster and asked him many questions about the garden. After that, they interviewed us, and we explained to them what we had learned through this project.That night, we watched the news, and there we were. The news reporter told our story. It was only two minutes long, but it was us. We were famous. All that work, all those blisters, it was worth it. We knew that when we saw the garden every day, but now we knew that the whole city thought so, too.4.What seemed to be the TV directors' initial reaction to the garden?A. They were excited.B. They were surprised.C. They were worried.D. They were uninterested.5.What is special about the garden?A.Weeds were allowed to spread naturally.B.The grass grew faster than common grass.C.The seeds came from the plants of a prairie.D.Underground water was used for the plants.6.What does the underlined word“that" refer to in the last paragraph?A. We got blisters on our hands.B. Our hard work was worthwhile.C. The garden would be famous.D. The project would be finished.7.How did the author feel about the project?A. Annoyed.B. Curious.C. Proud.D. Regretful.CHeads up! Across the country, sports injuries are a safety concern for young athletes. Now, the American Medical Association (AMA) has a new set of guidelines aimed at protecting players from the danger of concussions - serious injuries caused by a blow to the head.“ By raising awareness of the serious risks associated with concussions and ensuring that the appropriate guidelines are in place, we can reduce the number of young athletes who may return to the game too soon, which can. put their health at further risk," said AMA BoardMember Jack Resneck Jr, M.D., in a statement.The policy recommends that young athletes who may have a concussion be taken off the field as soon as possible. Then, they are only to return to their sport with a doctor's written approval. The policy also sets age-specific rules for health care professionals and athletic organizations in evaluating and caring for concussions.According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), a concussion is a type of traumatic (创伤) brain injury caused by a bump, blow, or jolt to the head or hit to the body that causes the head and brain to move rapidly back and forth. This type of movement can cause the brain to bounce around or twist inside the skull ( 颅骨). It can damage brain cells and create chemical changes in the brain.The CDC says that between 1.6 million and 3.8 million traumatic brain injuries caused by sports and recreation-related activities occur in the U.S. every year. A study from the Center for Injury Research and Policy showed that as many as 40% of high school athletes return to playing before they should. The AMA'S new guidelines should help to bring those numbers down.8.Why does the AMA set the new guidelines?A.To raise safety standards of sports.B.To protect athletes from concussions.C.To set rules for health care evaluation.D.To help players return to the game quickly.9.What should young athletes who may have a concussion do?A. Avoid using the head.B. Leave the field forever.C. Get treatment in time.D. Switch to another sport.10.What is paragraph 4 mainly about?A. What a concussion is.B. What causes damage to brain cells.C. How the CDC works.D. How a concussion can be prevented.11.Which of the following is the best title for the text?A. Rules for Safer PlayB. Sports Injuries in the USC. Advice to AthletesD. New Policies for DoctorsDOrganic food is very popular. It is also expensive. Some organic food costs twice as much as non-organic food, but new parents and pet owners are willing to pay up to 200% more for organic food. However, there are people who think it is a waste of money.There is one main difference between organic and non-organic food. Organic farms do not use agricultural chemicals, such as pesticides ( 杀虫剂). In many countries organic foods have special labels. These guarantee that the products are natural.Some people think organic means locally grown. Originally this was true. Over time organic farming became more difficult. The demand for organic food grew larger than the supply. Small companies had to sell out to large companies. There weren't enough organic ingredients (原料), such as grain and cattle. This made it difficult for many organic companies to stay in business. Today, many large companies have an organic line of products.Is organic food more nutritious? This is part of the debate. Many farmers and consumersbelieve it is. They think agricultural chemicals cause health problems such as cancer. Many health professionals disagree. Few studies prove that organic foods prevent health problems. Health specialists worry more about bacteria ( 病毒), such as E.coli and salmonella. These can get into contact with organic and non- organic food. Doctors recommend washing produce very carefully. Handling meat carefully is important too.Most people agree that naturally grown food tastes better. Is tastier food worth the extra money? This is a matter of opinion. Whether it is healthier or not may require more research. However, organic consumers argue it is better to be safe than sorry.12.What is probably the major concern of organic food consumers?A. Price.B. Safety.C. Freshness.D. Variety.13.What is the doctors' suggestion?A. Grow your own food.B. Reduce the use of pesticides.C. Make sure the food is clean.D. Buy large companies' products.14.Which of the following do most people agree on organic food?A. It tastes better.B. It is easier to grow.C. It contains more fat.D. It is more nutritious.15.Where does this text probably come from?A. A recipe book.B. A chemistry paper.C. A medical report.D. A health magazine.第二节(共5 小题:每小题2.5 分,满分12.5 分)由水浒教育老师整理提供!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。

AMarineLand Theme ParkWith numerous rides,a variety of wildlife from both land and sea and shows filled with action-packed excitement,no wonder it’s a hit with visitors from all over the world.Whether riding on the world’s biggest steel roller coaster,Dragon Mountain,or enjoying a show filled with fun-loving dolphins and intelligent whales,you’re sure to have the time of your life at MarineLand.Having been in business for more than 50 years,this park has something for every member of the family!Highlights&Attractions:The King Waldorf Stadium Show:This entertaining,educational and heart-warming show features dolphins,white whales,sea lions,and walruses and is sure to leave you in awe as well as help you understand and appreciate these wonderful marine mammals(海洋哺乳动物).Arctic Cove:It featuring one of the largest white whale collections in the world,visitors are able to purchase a pass to Arctic Cove where they can touch andfeed the whales as well as view them underwater.Friendship Cove:Breathtaking underwater viewing allows you to enter the magic world of the killer whale below the water surface or on a surface level walkwav.Hotels:Villager Lodge:It is located in Niagara Falls,Ontario.Diplomat Inn:Within half a mile of the Skylon Tower,it is the choice for an inexpensive location.Marriott Niagara Falls Fallsview Hotel&Spa:It is close to popular attractions and the Scotiabank Convention Center.Days Inn Lundy’s Lane:It is located just two miles from the gorgeous Niagara Falls and the Skylon Tower Observation Deck.Hours of Operation:10:00 am-5:00 pm(Sept.11th—Oct.13th)Phone:417—823—09811.What can be learned about MarineLand Theme Park?A.It is only suitable for kids.B.It was opened fifty years ago.C.It has both 1and and marine animals.D.It has the world’s biggest roller coaster.2.What is special about Arctic Cove?A.It has the largest white whale collection in the world.B.It allows visitors to enter the magic world of the killer whale.C.It features an entertaining show starring various marine mammals.D.It provides visitors with a chance to interact with white whales personally.3.Which hotel suits you best if you have a tight budget?A.Diplomat Inn.B.Villager Lodge.C.Days Inn Lundy’s Lane.D.Marriott Niagara Fails Fallsview Hotel&Spa.BA few weeks ago,I bought a locally-grown salad from a vending machine(自动售货机).But then I immediately realized that it was packaged in a plastic jar.“I guess I live with this jar now and forever.”I thought sadly as I stared down at my new child.The salad jar was only the latest in a long line of examples of how I am addicted to the responsibility of reusing everything,trying to never throw anything away.Water bottles have been given second lives,and berry containers are transformed into Tupperware.I recently even looked at a plastic straw in my fruit juice:Could I reuse it too…?Yet trying to squeeze my salad jar under my kitchen counter this weekend,I finally had to admit:Being an environmentalist has turned me into a hoarder(囤积者).While keeping a certain number of jars and vegetable bags will allow me not to buy new containers,at a certain point those 30 berry containers begin to get a bit unnecessary.Who am I kidding?Then one day I came across a blog post that asks accusingly.“Are you turning your own home into a landfill(垃圾填埋场)?”In my defense,there is absolutely no excuse not to be a conscious consumer.The solution is painfully obvious,but hard to admit:Delaying waste is not,in fact,rejecting waste.In an over-packaged,over-consuming culture,this can feel like a burden.While I refuse to throw away packaging,the fact remains:I already have it.The damage is done.I’ve been ignoring one of the most essential and difficult parts—reduce,reuse,recycle.Even if I go out of my way to reuse the waste I do have,I need to reduce what I am bringing home in the first place.While I might not be ready to go full zero-waste,it’s a goal that is admirable to work toward.Until then,my salad jar child is going to make a great overnight oats jar.4.What does the author try to indicate by the last sentence in paragraph 2 ? A.How important reusing is.B.How enthusiastic she is about reusing.C.How she makes use of the plastic straw.D.Why she is responsible for reusing plastic straws.5.Why does the author say she has turned into a hoarder?A.She enjoys collecting a variety of small jars.B.She has saved far more containers than she needs.C.She likes the idea of saving fine packages in daily life.D.She stores more berry containers than other containers.6.What does the underlined word“this”in paragraph 4 refer to?A.Over-packaging.B.Delaying waste.C.Over-consuming.D.Rejecting waste.7.The author realizes at last that she should___________.A.buy fewer over-packaged goodsB.throw away unnecessary packagingC.reuse materials as much as possibleD.appreciate the value of recycling materialsCIt is common for adults to use“baby talk”when interacting with babies.This way of speaking attempts to imitate the sounds babies make when they first try to talk.But is this form of communication helpful to a child’s development?Several studies have suggested a clear link between parental language methods and a child’s early language development.Studies showed that language learning in babies was improved when parents spoke more than a few simple words and used a wider vocabulary.Earlier research found that the style of speech used by parents to communicate with their baby could have an influence on language development.One such speaking style is known as“parentese”.Research has shown that babies react better to this kind of language in the first months of life.Generally,parentese involves adults speaking in a higher voice and at a slower speed.The language is simplified,while sentences are short and often repeated.Studies from the past 30 years have confirmed that babies spoken to in parentese developed larger vocabularies throughout the first three years of life.A new study on the subject,a project of the University of Washington’s Institute for Learning & Brain Sciences,examined whether parents can be effectively taught methods to improve their parentese skills.Naj a Ferjan Ramírez.working in the Institute for Learning&Brain Sciences,said that the parents involved in the research were first shown the importance of language input for their baby’s development.Parents were then given suggestions on how to use different parentese methods,and then rated on how well they used these methods with their child.She added that the new study is important because there are still a 1ot of parents with little knowledge about how to use parentese to help their child.This was one reason the researchers included parents from different cultural and economic groupings.8.How do parents usually talk with their babies?A.By speaking in a funny style.B.By copying babies’sounds.C.By raising speaking speed.D.By whispering in babies’ears.9.What can we learn from the second paragraph?A.Babies’language skills are decided by talent.B.Babies’language is improved by simple words.C.Parental language style helps improve babies’behavior.D.Parental language methods affect babies’language development.10.Where can you find how parents were trained in parentese skills?A.In paragraph 2.B.In paragraph 3.C.In paragraph 4.D.In paragraph 5.11.What can be the best title for the text?A.Communicating with babies matters moreB.Parentese is a good way to practice languageC.The more parents help,the better babies 1earnD.Speaking parentese helps with babies’language learningDGwheezie,a nurse,wrote about her heart attack symptoms on social media.“Last Sunday I had a heart attack.I’m alive because I called 911.I never had chest pain.It wasn’t what you read in brochures.”Gwheezie pointed out that she recently helped her neighbor clean out the garden and actually thought it was muscle strain(扭伤).The pain ran across her upper back,shoulders and equaly down both arms.“I’d just written it off because it wasn’t really bad,”Gwheezie said.She even drove six hours to help her mother the day before the actual attack came.However,she almost died because she didn’t call it“chest pain”.“I was lucky,”she wrote.“And I wanted to warn women our heart attacks feel different.”“Pain that comes and goes seems like a surprising symptom,but it’s actually common for heart disease,”women’s health expert,Jennifer Haythe says.“Some women will experience chest pain,but it may feel different than the typical ‘crushing pain(压迫性疼痛)’men will describe.Other women won’t have chest pain at all,which can be deadly.”Sanjiv Patel,MD,says.“Women are far morelikely to develop untypical symptoms for a heart attack,including indigestion,shortness of breath,tiredness,and arm,neck and back pain,etc.”But there are ways to distinguish if the pain is heart-related.“If you have pain and it gets worse when you exhaust yourself,that’s more likely to be a sign,”Patel says.“If you have pain and difficulty breathing when you’re sitting and watching TV,you get up and walk around and it goes away,the pain is probably not related to your heart.Moreover,if it comes back the next day for a longer period of time.you’11 want to see a doctor.”“Any new symptom that doesn’t feel quite right calls for an immediate call or visit to your doctor,”Haythe says.“Take your body seriously.It’s usually telling you something.”12.Why did Gwheezie post her heart attack symptoms on social media?A.To raise some money.B.To record the process.C.To inform other women.D.To share her lucky story.13.What does the underlined phrase“written it off”in paragraph 2 probably mean? A.Ignored it.B.Recorded it.C.Treated it.D.Discovered it.14.What do Jennifer Haythe’s words indicate?A.Pain is a fairly rare symptom for heart disease.B.Chest pain may be a good thing for heart disease.C.Women are far more likely to die of heart disease.D.Men have more chest pain symptoms than women.15.How can we distinguish heart-related pain?A.Ftom the breath and sleep.B.Ftom the position and frequency.C.From the tiredness and heart beats.D.From the degree and length.第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

I was very upset. But the next day, Spotty was up to his usualpranks though he limped a bit. After this incident my relation with Spotty became more intense. I really admired him a lot for his courage.Almost a year later, one midnight we heard Spotty barking breathlessly. We came out and saw that he was barking continuously heading somewhere. After some time Spotty became quiet. I patted him on his back and came inside. The next day morning, my heart skipped a beat when I didn’t see Spotty. I searched for him in each and every corner but he was nowhere. And this time he had gone and would never come back. I cried and waited for him. We waited for one long week. But there were no signs of him. Then one day my Dad got transferred to Mumbai. We shifted back to Mumbai. What would have happened to Spotty? Would he have died? These were the only questions in my mind, but they all remained unanswered forever.。

How much should you pay to purchase two such drones online?A.$120.B.$150.C. $240.D. $ 300.BSometimes we may find that every week there are a lot of new stories about how climate change is affecting the planet, or new plans to battle its effects. But the concept itself isn’t new at all —in fact, scientists have been exploring questions about climate change for almost 200 years.The idea of “greenhouse gases” goes back to 1824, when Joseph Fourier wondered what was regulating the earth’s temperature. Fourier concluded that the atmosphere must be responsible for containing the heat absorbed from the sun and described it as a box with a glass lid: As light shines through the glass, the inside gets warmer as the lid traps the heat. As Fourier’s ideas spread, it came to be called “the greenhouse effect”.Scientists continued to study the greenhouse effect. Not until a Swedish chemist named Svante Arrhenius came along, did scientists understand how global warming actually works. After years of work, Arrhenius determined that the level of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere did in fact have a direct effect on global temperatures.Arrhenius found that CO2, and other gases trap radiation, which warms the atmosphere. Arrhenius was the first to suspect that burning coal could contribute to the greenhouse effect. But Arrhenius welcomed the warming effect on the planet. At a lecture later that year, Ar rhenius noted that creatures of a warmer earth “might live under a milder sky and in less barren surroundings”.While Arrhenius’ findings won him the 1903 Nobel Prize in chemistry, scientists kept debating whether the greenhouse effect was increasing until 1950, when researchers finally began to find strong data supporting it. By the end of the 1950s, American scientists had been sounding the alarm on the long-term consequences of climate change. Climate change research has come a long way since Fourier first described the greenhouse effect —still, maybe Arrhenius should have been more careful of what he wished for.4. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 2 refer to?A. The climate change.B. The greenhouse effect.C. The atmosphere.D. The heat from the sun.5. When did the scientists first find evidence for the bad effect of global warming?A. In 1824.B. In 1903.C. In 1950.D. 200 years ago.6. What’s the author’s attitude towards Arrhenius’ wish?A. Optimistic.B. Negative.C. Neutral.D. Ambiguous.7. What’s the main idea of the text?A. Causes of climate change.B. Effects of greenhouse gases.C. Findings about global warming.D. Explorations on climate change.CIt’s com mon knowledge that the woman in Leona rdo da Vinci’s most famouspainting seems to look back at observers, following them with her eyes no matterwhere they stand in the room. But this common knowledge turns out wrong.A new study finds that the woman in the painting is actually looking out at an angle that’s15.4 degrees off to the observer’s right—well outside of the range that people normally believe when they think someone is looking right at them. In other words, said the study author, Horstmann, “She’s not looking at you.” This is somewha t ironic, because the entire phenomenon of a person’s gaze (凝视) in a photograph or painting seeming to follow the viewer is called the “Mona Lisa effect” . That effect is absolutely real, Horstmann said. If a person is illustrated or photographed looking straight ahead, even people viewing the portrait from an angle will feel they are being looked at. As long as the angle of the person’s gaze is no more than about 5 degrees off to either side, the Mona Lisa effect occurs.Horstmann and his co-author were studying this effect for its application in the creation of artificial-intelligence avatars(虚拟头像) when Horstmann took a long look at the “Mona Lisa” and realized she wasn’t looking at him.To make sure it wasn’t just him, the researchers asked 24 people to view images of the “Mona Lisa” on a computer screen.So why do people repeat the belief tha t her eyes seem to follow the viewer? Horstmann isn’t sure. It’s possible, he said, that people have the desire to be looked at, so they think the woman is looking straight at them. Or maybe the people who first coined the term “Mona Lisa effect” just tho ught it was a cool name.8. What is generally believed about the woman in the painting “Mona Lisa”?A. She attracts the viewers to look back.B. She seems mysterious because of her eyes.C. She fixes her eyes on the back of the viewers.D. She looks at the viewers wherever they stand.9.What gaze range in a painting will cause the Mona Lisa effect?A. B.C. D.10 . Why was the experiment involving 24 people conducted?A. To confirm Horstmann’s belief.B. To create artificial-intelligence avatars.C. To calculate the angle of Mona Lisa’s gaze.D. To explain how the Mona Lisa effect can be applied.11.What can we learn from the text?A. Horstmann thinks it’s cool to coin the term “Mona Lisa effect”.B. The Mona Lisa effect contributes to the creation of artificial intelligence.C. Feeling being gazed at by Mona Lisa may be caused by the desire for attention.D. The position of the r uler in the experiment will influence the viewers’ judgment.DSparrow is a fast-food chain with 200 restaurants. Some years ago, the group to which Sparrow belonged was taken over by another company. Although Sparrow showed no sign of declining, the chain was generally in an unhealthy state. With more and more fast-food concepts reaching the market, the Sparrow menu had to struggle for attention. And to make matters worse, its new owner had no plans to give it the funds it required.Sparrow failed to grow for another two years. Until a new CEO, Carl Pearson, decided to build up its market share. He did a survey, which showed that consumers who already used Sparrow restaurants were extremely positive about the chain, while customers of other fast-food chains were unwilling to turn away from them. Sparrow had to develop a new promotional campaign.Pearson faced a battle over the future of the Sparrow brand. The chain’s owner now favored rebranding Sparrow as Marcy’s restaurants. Pearson resisted, arguing fo r an advertising campaign designed to convince customers that visits to Sparrow restaurants were fun. Such an attempt to establish a positive relationship between a company and the general public was unusual for that time. Pearson strongly believed that numbers were the key to success, rather than customers’ spending power. Finally, the owner accepted his idea.The campaign itself changed the traditional advertising style of the fast-food industry. The TV ads of Sparrowfocused on entertainment and featured original songs performed by a variety of stars. Instead of showing the superiority of a specific product, the intention was to put Sparrow in the hearts of potential customers.Pearson also made other decisions which he believed would contribute to the new Sparrow image. For example, he offered to lower the rent of any restaurants which achieved a certain increase in their turnover (营业额) .These efforts paid off, and Sparrow soon became one of the most successful fast-food chains in the regions where it operated.12. Which was one of the problems Sparrow faced before Pearson became CEO?A. The number of its customers was declining.B. Its customers found the food unhealthy.C. It was in need of financial support.D. Most of its restaurants were closed.13. For what purpose did Pearson start the advertising campaign?A. To build a good relationship with the public.B. To stress the unusual tradition of Sparrow.C. To learn about customers’ spending power.D. To meet the challen ge from Marcy’s restaurants.14. What do know about the TV ads of Sparrow?A. They changed people’s views on pop stars.B. They amused the public with original songs.C. They focused on the superiority of its products.D. They influenced the eating habits of the audience.15. What was Pearson’s achievement as a CEO?A. He managed to pay off Sparrow’s debts.B. He made Sparrow much more competitive.C. He helped Sparrow take over a company.D. He improved the welfare of Sparrow employees.第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

AThese are the Nicest Places in America, from tiny Hayesville, North Carolina to the city of Providence, Rhode Island. You really can find kindness all over the U. S.Yassin ' s Falafel House in Knoxville. TennesseeYassin Terou, who came to Knoxville in 2011, is a well-known local person. His falafel house won the Nicest Places in America contest in 2018 because it serves as a welcoming and safe place for people of every culture who are in trouble. Even though some people don't accept him for who he is, Yassin likes to give everyone a chance because he was given a chance to realize his American dream. Katy, TexasIn 2017, Katy, Texas was hit hard by Hurricane Harvey. About 700 homes and 80 businesses were destroyed or damaged in the small town. Soon after it, local people and businesses immediately helped their neighbors recover.Kalamazoo, MichiganStudent loan debt (学生借贷) is an ever-present case for students looking to go on their education, but in Kalamazoo, it's not a problem. An organization funded by anonymous (匿名的) people called The Kalamazoo Promise pays for any student that attends Kalamazoo public schools to go to college. This town ' s amazing promise is keeping hope alive. Enoch Pratt Library in Baltimore, MarylandEnoch Pratt isn't your typical library, it's more of a community service center. In a city with high crime, it offers help to people that get in trouble with the law. Volunteers, including local lawyers doing work without getting paid, serve hundreds of people every week. This library is writing a new chapter (篇章) for Baltimore.21. We learn from Paragraph 3 that Katy ___ .A. was completely destroyedB. lived through the storm safelyC. was recovered with anonymous people's helpD. was rebuilt by local people and businesses22. What gives Baltimore a new look?A. Enoch PrattB. V oluntary workC. The effect of law.D. Community service23. The Nicest Places in America are all ___ .A. related with disastersB. full of kindnessC. about the American dreamD. of the social public serviceBI wanted to lose some weight, and I also hoped to explore the countryside. So I agreed to join a local group of walkers around Aix-en-Provence called the International Hiking Club of Provence.Exercising in the gym was a dull choice in this beautiful place, and when the wind started to blow and the water temperature dropped suddenly, the romantic idea of an everyday sea swim would disappear in my mind. Luckily, that didn't happen very often.From time to time, the group organized imaginative hikes in the countryside around Aix---Mont St Victoire, The Luberon, The Calanques, The Durance valley and other places. The journey would be tough and tiring, and you need a good pair of walking shoes. At the same time, you also need an appetite (胃口) for amazing beauties and hearty conversations with local people and foreigners.My first walk led me down the side of a cliff (悬崖) to the Calanque of Sugiton. Those sea cliffs are the highest in France. It was a great challenge for legs and afterwards, I would enjoy a treat---a refreshing sea swim. Magic! Just our little group and a few locals shared the experience together.In another hike in Provence, the good smell of wild flowers led me up a local mountain in the Luberon.Lost in those beautiful flowers and the relaxing smell, I didn't even notice my tiredness. What a simple pleasure and treat for the senses!In Provence, there are hundreds of ways to explore through woods, valleys, and quiet meadows (草地). Mont Ventoux---the largest mountain in the region is the next goal on my list. A friend goes there regularly by bike and loves it.My hiking experiences inspired the kids to try. They walked up Mont St Victoire and down a Calanque. They complained sometimes, but they also laughed a lot. And they couldn't wait to tell their friends about the experience.24. Why did the author join the group?A. To meet some new walkers.B. To swim in the sea with some friends.C. To learn how to lose some weight from others.D. To lose some weight and enjoy the countryside.25. Which of the following did the author do during her stay around Aix-en-provence?A. She swam in the sea every day.B. She exercised in the gym with others.C. She climbed mountains and went down cliffs.D. She worked as a guide to show foreigners around.26. What did the kids most probably think of walking up Mont St Victoire?A. Difficult but fun.B. Boring and tiring.C. Hard but meaningful.D. Relaxing and interesting.27. What would be the best title for the text?A. A Special Hiking Group in ProvenceB. The Joy of Hiking in ProvenceC. Some Attractions in Provence.D. A Trip to Provence with KidsCI ' ve been trying to write a journal about my visit to LEGO Movie World with my family. Now it is! It's 2019 and wevisited Legoland during our spring break. Since we only had five hours, we decided hitting our favorite places would be thefirst step of the tour.We really enjoyed our time in LEGO Movie World. If you haven't been there, I recommend it to you. There are somefantastic rides that you shouldn't miss.Ride 1: Unikitty's Disco Drop. Immediately to the left of the LEGO Movie World entrance, you can find Unikitty's DiscoDrop. Similar to the Beetle Bounce, this ride adds another touch of fun. As you move up and down the tower, the ride alsorotates (旋转)! The area is enjoyable as well, with all the crazy Unikitty color mixtures present.Ride 2: Masters of Flight. To the right of Unikitty's Disco Drop, there is a huge structure (建筑物). Ifyou've seen The LEGO Movie , you'll recognize this structure as The Dog Cloud Cuckoo Land, where all the Master Buildersmeet.To get inside, you 'Il have to make your way around a maze (迷宫) to wait for your turn but LEGO does a great job tooffer you amusement a while you wait. You'll be greeted by some great structures and provided with a wall to leave yourmark on.Once finally inside the structure, you'll find the Masters of Flight ride. It begins as the seats rotate around and you will findyourself as part of the Emmet's Triple---Decker Couch Mech! While you experience THELEGO MOVIE 2: The Second Part, get ready to feel like you're flying! You'll smell pine trees, the ocean, cotton candy andmore! It was certainly my favorite of all the new rides.At the end of the day, I felt Merlin Entertainment did an excellent job in repurposing this area to fit their idea of the LEGOMovie World. It looks fantastic. We are looking forward to coming back to this world.28. When the authors family experienced Unikitty's Disco Drop, ____ .A. they preferred it to the Beetle BounceB. they had to get through the maze firstC. they found the mixed colors unbeautifulD. they saw the ride rotate29. What can we learn about Masters of Flight?A. People give it high praise.B. People can enjoy flying in it.C. People have to line up to experience it.D. People find it boring to wait in the maze.30. What did the author think of LEGO Movie World?A. Satisfying.B. Boring.C. Time-wasting.D. Disappointing.31. What is the text mainly about?A. The author ' s favorite rides.B. The visit to LEGO Movie World.C. The excellent Merlin Entertainment.D. The review of THE LEGO MOVIE 2: The Second Part.DWhen snack-food businessmen started selling fat-free products back in the 80s, they really achieved success.Consumers were interested in avoiding fat because it caused heart problems and made them fat. So the nonfat foods were adieter's dream! Fat-free chips and dairy products flew off the shelves. However, as it turned out, not many people becameslim and healthy from going on fat-free diets. In fact, not eating fat seemed to cause more health problems instead.There are many naturally fat- free foods. Fruits and vegetables are on the top of the list. They' relow in calories ( 卡路里 ) and are filled with beneficial vitamins ( 有益的维生素 ). That ' s not the case with processed fat-free food.The problem with fat-free packaged food is that fat makes food taste good. With all the fat taken away, it tastes like cardboard. So, the producers have to add into all kinds of things to keep the taste ---like sugar, salt and artificial flavors ( 人造香精 ) Therefore, processed fat-free foods can actually end up containing more calories than the full- fat foods. Fruit canbe high in calories and sugar, too, but you nutrients (营养物 ) along with it. Processed fat- free foods don 't have a olotht eorf things.We know now that all fat is not evil.

AIn 1812, the year Charles Dickens was born, there were 66 novels published in Britain. People had been writing novels for a century—most experts date the first novel to Robinson Crusoe in 1719—but nobody wanted to do it professionally. The steam-powered printing press was still in its early stages; the literacy(识字)rate in England was under 50%. Many works of fiction appeared without the names of the authors, often with something like “By a lady.”Novels, for the most part, were looked upon as silly, immoral, or just plain bad.In 1870, when Dickens died, the world mourned him as its first professional writer and publisher, famous and beloved, who had led an explosion in both the publication of novels and their readership and whose characters — from Oliver Twist to Tiny Tim—were held up as moral touchstones. Today Dickens’ greatness is unchallenged. Removing him from the pantheon(名人堂)of English literature would make about as much sense as the Louvre selling off the Mona Lisa.How did Dickens get to the top? For all the feelings readers attach to stories, literature is a numbers game, and the test of time is extremely difficult to pass. Some 60,000 novels were published during the Victorian age, from 1837 to1901; today a casual reader might be able to name a half-dozen of them. It’s partly true that Dickens’ style of writing attracted audiencesfrom all walks of life. It’s partly that his writings rode a wave of social, political and scientific progress. But it’s also that he rewrote the culture of literature and put himself at the center. No one will ever know what mix of talent, ambition, energy and luck made Dickens such a singular writer. But as the 200th anniversary of his birth approaches, it is possible — and important for our own culture—to understand how he made himself a lasting one.1.Which of the following best describes British novels in the 18th century?A.They were difficult to understand.B.They were popular among the rich.C.They were seen as nearly worthless.D.They were written mostly by women.2.Dickens is compared with the Mona Lisa in the text to stress________.A.his reputation in FranceB.his interest in modern artC.his success in publicationD.his importance in literature3.What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?A.To remember a great writer.B.To introduce an English novel.C.To encourage studies on culture.D.To promote values of the Victorian age.BEl Nifio, a Spanish term for “the Christ child”, was named by South American fisherman who noticed that the global weather pattern, which happens every two to seven years, reduced the amount of fishes caught around Christmas. El Nifio sees warm water, collected over several years in the western Pacific, flow back eastwards when winds that normally blow westwards weaken, or sometimes the other way round.The weather effects both good and bad, are felt in many places. Rich countries gain more from powerful Nifio, on balance, than they lose. A study found that a strong Nifio in 1997 helped American’s economy grow by 15 billion, partly because of better agricultural harvest, farmers in the Midwest gained from extra rain. The total rise in agricultural in rich countries in growth than the fall in poor ones.But in Indonesia extremely dry forests are in flames. A multi-year drought (干旱)in south-east Brazil is becoming worse. Though heavy rains brought about by El Nino may relieve the drought in California, they are likely to cause surface flooding and other disasters.The most recent powerful Nino, in 1997-98, killed around 21,000 people and caused damage worth $36 billion around the globe. But such Ninos come with months of warning, and so much is known about how they happen that governments can prepare. According to the Overseas Development Institute (ODI), however, just 12% of disaster-relief funding in the past two decades has gone on reducing risks in advance, rather than recovery and rebuilding afterwards. This is despite evidence that a dollar spent on risk-reduction saves at least two on reconstruction.Simple improvements to infrastructure (基础设施)can reduce the spread of disease. Better sewers (下水道)make it less likely that heavy rain is followed by an outbreak of the disease of bad stomach. Stronger bridges mean villages are less likely to be left without food and medicine after floods. According to a paper in 2011 by Mr Hsiang and co-authors, civil conflict is related to El Nino’s harmful effects—and the poorer the country, the stronger the link. Though the relationship may not be causal, helping divided communities to prepare for disasters would at least reduce the risk that those disasters are followed by killing and wounding people. Since the poorest are least likely to make up for their losses from disasters linked to El Nino, reducing their losses needs to be the priority.4.What can we learn about El Nino in Paragraph 1?A.It is named after a South American fisherman.B.It takes place almost every year all over the world.C.It forces fishermen to stop catching fish around Christmas.D.It sees the changes of water flow direction in the ocean.5.What may El Ninos bring about to the countries affected?A.Agricultural harvests in rich countries fall.B.Droughts become more harmful than floods.C.Rich countries’ gains are greater than their losses.D.Poor countries suffer less from droughts economically.6.The data provided by ODI in Paragraph 4 suggest that_________.A.more investment should go to risk reductionB.governments of poor countries need more aidC.victims of El Nino deserve more compensationD.recovery and reconstruction should come first7.What is the author’s purpose in writing the passage?A.To introduce El Nino and its origin.B.To explain the consequences of El Nino.C.To show ways of fighting against El Nino.D.To urge people to prepare for El Nino.CFor Western designers, China and its rich culture have long been an inspiration for Western creative.“It’s no secret that China has always been a source(来源) of inspiration for designers,” says Amanda Hill, chief creative officer at A+E Networks, a global media company and home to some of the biggest fashion(时尚) shows.Earlier this year, the China Through A Looking Glass exhibition in New York exhibited 140 pieces of China-inspired fashionable clothing alongside Chinese works of art, with the aim of exploring the influence of Chinese aesthetics(美学) on Western fashion and how China has fueled the fashionable imagination for centuries. The exhibition had record attendance, showing that there is huge interest in Chinese influences.“China is impossible to overlook,” says Hill. “Chinese models are the faces of beauty and fashion campaigns that sell dreams to women all over the world, which means Chinese women are not just consumers of fashion —they are central to its movement.” Of course, not only are today’s top Western designers being influenced by China—some of the best designers of contemporary fashion are themselves Chinese. “Vera Wang, Alexander Wang, Jason Wu are taking on Galliano, Albaz, Marc Jacobs—and beating them hands down in design and sales,” adds Hill.For Hill, it is impossible not to talk about China as the leading player when discussing fashion. “The most famous designers are Chinese, so are the models, and so are the consumers,” she says. “China is no longer just another market; in many senses it has become the market. If you talk about fashion today, you are talking about China—its influences, its direction, its breathtaking clothes, and how young designers and models are finally acknowledging that in many ways.”8.What can we learn about the exhibition in New York?A.It promoted the sales of artworks. B.It attracted a large number of visitors.C.It showed ancient Chinese clothes. D.It aimed to introduce Chinese models.9.What does Hill say about Chinese women?A.They are setting the fashion. B.They start many fashion campaigns.C.They admire super models. D.They do business all over the world.10.What do the underlined words “taking on” in paragraph 4 mean?A.learning from B.looking down on C.working with D.competing against 11.What can be a suitable title for the text?A.Young Models Selling Dreams to the WorldB.A Chinese Art Exhibition Held in New YorkC.Differences Between Eastern and Western AestheticsD.Chinese Culture Fueling International Fashion TrendsDCalifornia has lost half its big trees since the 1930s, according to a study to be published Tuesday and climate change seems to be a major factor(因素).The number of trees larger than two feet across has declined by 50 percent on more than 46, 000 square miles of California forests, the new study finds. No area was spared or unaffected, from the foggy northern coast to the Sierra Nevada Mountains to the San Gabriels above Los Angeles. In the Sierra high country, the number of big trees has fallen by more than 55 percent; in parts of southern California the decline was nearly 75 percent.Many factors contributed to the decline, said Patrick McIntyre, an ecologist who was the lead author of the study. Woodcutters targeted big trees. Housing development pushed into the woods. Aggressive wildfire control has left California forests crowded with small trees that compete with big trees for resources(资源).But in comparing a study of California forests done in the 1920s and 1930s with another one between 2001 and 2010, McIntyre and his colleagues documented a widespread death of big trees that was evident even in wildlands protected from woodcutting or development.The loss of big trees was greatest in areas where trees had suffered the greatest water shortage. The researchers figured out water stress with a computer model that calculated how much water trees were getting in comparison with how much they needed, taking into account such things as rainfall, air temperature, dampness of soil, and the timing of snowmelt(融雪).Since the 1930s, McIntyre said, the biggest factors driving up water stress in the state have been rising temperatures, which cause trees to lose more water to the air, and earlier snowmelt, which reduces the water supply available to trees during the dry season.12.What is the second paragraph mainly about?A.The seriousness of big-tree loss in California.B.The increasing variety of California big trees.C.The distribution of big trees in California forests.D.The influence of farming on big trees in California.13.Which of the following is well-intentioned but may be bad for big trees?A.Ecological studies of forests.B.Banning woodcutting.C.Limiting housing development.D.Fire control measures.14.What is a major cause of the water shortage according to McIntyre?A.Inadequate snowmelt. B.A longer dry season.C.A warmer climate. D.Dampness of the air.15.What can be a suitable title for the text?A.California’s Forests: Where Have All the Big Trees Gone?B.Cutting of Big Trees to Be Prohibited in California SoonC.Why Are the Big Trees Important to California Forests?D.Patrick McIntyre: Grow More Big Trees in California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。

A (2019·江西省三校联考)A new study has shown how computers and robots powered by artificial intelligence can read human eye movements to“read” human personalities.The eyes,they say,are the windows to the soul.And if that is true,computers and robots powered by sophisticated(复杂的) artificial intelligence algorithms(演算法) may soon have the ability to peer into your soul.That is the result of a new study on the connection between eye movements and personality,conducted by neuroscience researchers based at the University of South Australia and published in the scientific journal Frontiers in Neuroscience.“Eye movements during an everyday task predict aspects of our personality,”wrote the researchers,led by University of South Australia neuroscientist Tobias Loetscher,whose team followed 42 study subjects around the university campus recording their eye movements,then determined their personality traits with“well-established questionnaires”for determining the personality type,according to a summary of the study published by the site Science Daily.The researchers fed the data into their AI algorithms and found that computers running the algorithms were able to record human eye movements and immediately determine a person's major personality traits,such as “neuroticism,extraversion(外向),agreeableness,conscientiousness,as well as curiosity”,the scientists wrote.“The new findings could improve the way human beings interact with their computers and other high-tech devices,even robots,allowing for more natural and realistic social interactions with machines,”Loetscher said.“People are always looking for improved,personalized services.Today's robots and computers are not socially aware so they cannot adapt to non-verbal information,“Loetscher said in a statement quoted by The Indian Express.This research provides opportunities to develop robots and computers so that they can become more natural,and better at interpreting human social signals.”The study revealed previously undiscovered relations between specific personality characteristics and specific eye movement tendencies,according to a summary in Britain's Daily Mail newspaper.【语篇解读】本文主要介绍了一项人工智能计算机和机器人通过读人眼球的运动从而一窥人的个性的研究。

But the concept itself isn’t new at all — in fact, scientists have been exploring questions about climate change for almost 200 years.The idea of “greenhouse gases” goes back to 1824, when Joseph Fourier wondered what was regulating the earth’s temperature. Fourier concluded that the atmosphere must be responsible for containing the heat absorbed from the sun and described it as a box with a glass lid: As light shines through the glass, the inside gets warmer as the lid traps the heat. As Fourier’s ideas spread, it came to be called “the greenhouse effect”.Scientists continued to study the greenhouse effect. Not until a Swedish chemist named Svante Arrhenius came along, did scientists understand how global warming actually works. After years of work, Arrhenius determined that the level of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere did in fact have a direct effect on global temperatures.Arrhenius found that CO2, and other gases trap radiation, which warms the atmosphere. Arrhenius was the first to suspect that burning coal could contribute to the greenhouse effect. But Arrhenius welcomed the warming effect on the planet. At a lecture later that year, Arrhenius noted that creatures of a warmer earth “might live under a milder sky and in less barren surroundings”.While Arrhenius’ findings won him the 1903 Nobel Prize in chemistry, scientists kept debating whether the greenhouse effect was increasing until 1950, when researchers finally began to find strong data supporting it. By the end of the 1950s, American scientists had been sounding the alarm on the long-term consequences of climate change. Climate change research has come a long way since Fourier first described the greenhouse effect — still, maybe Arrhenius should have been more careful of what he wished for.4. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 2 refer to?A. The climate change.B. The greenhouse effect.C. The atmosphere.D. The heat from the sun.5. When did the scientists first find evidence for the bad effect of global warming?A. In 1824.B. In 1903.C. In 1950.D. 200 years ago.6. What’s the author’s attitude towards Arrhenius’ wish?A. Optimistic.B. Negative.C. Neutral.D. Ambiguous.7. What’s the main idea of the text?A. Causes of climate change.B. Effects of greenhouse gases.C. Findings about global warming.D. Explorations on climate change.CIt’s common knowledge that the woman in Leonardo da Vinci’s most famous painting seems to look back at observers, following them with hereyes no matter where they stand in the room. But this common knowledgeturns out wrong.A new study finds that the woman in the painting is actually looking out at an angle that’s 15.4 degrees off to the observer’s right—well outside of the range that people normally believe when they think someone is looking right at them. In other words, said the study author, Horstmann, “She’s not looking at you.” This is somewhat ironic, because the entire phenomenon of a person’s gaze (凝视) in a photograph or painting seeming to follow the viewer is called the “Mona Lisa effect” . That effect is absolutely real, Horstmann said. If a person is illustrated or photographed looking straight ahead, even people viewing the portrait from an angle will feel they are being looked at. As long as the angle of the person’s gaze is no more than about 5 degrees off to either side, the Mona Lisa effect occurs.Horstmann and his co-author were studying this effect for its application in the creation of artificial-intelligence avatars(虚拟头像) when Horstmann took a long look at the “Mona Lisa” and realized she wasn’t looking at him. To make sure it wasn’t just him, the researchers asked 24 people to view images of the “Mona Lisa” on a computer screen.So why do people repeat the belief that her eyes seem to follow the viewer? Horstmann isn’t sure. It’s possible, he said, that people have the desire to be looked at, so they think the woman is looking straight at them. Or maybe the people who first coined the term “Mona Lisa effect” just thought it was a cool name.8. What is generally believed about the woman in the painting “Mona Lisa”?A. She attracts the viewers to look back.B. She seems mysterious because of her eyes.C. She fixes her eyes on the back of the viewers.D. She looks at the viewers wherever they stand.9.What gaze range in a painting will cause the Mona Lisa effect?A. B.C. D.10 . Why was the experiment involving 24 people conducted?A.

Some years ago, the group to which Sparrow belonged was taken over by another company. Although Sparrow showed no sign of declining, the chain was generally in an unhealthy state. With more and more fast-food concepts reaching the market, the Sparrow menu had to struggle for attention. And to make matters worse, its new owner had no plans to give it the funds it required.Sparrow failed to grow for another two years. Until a new CEO, Carl Pearson, decided to build up its market share. He did a survey, which showed that consumers who already used Sparrow restaurants were extremely positive about the chain, while customers of other fast-food chains wereunwilling to turn away from them. Sparrow had to develop a new promotional campaign.Pearson faced a battle over the future of the Sparrow brand. The chain’s owner now favored rebranding Sparrow as Marcy’s restaurants. Pearson resisted, arguing for an advertising campaign designed to convince customers that visits to Sparrow restaurants were fun. Such an attempt to establish a positive relationship between a company and the general public was unusual for that time. Pearson strongly believed that numbers were the key to success, rather than customers’ spending power. Finally, the owner accepted his idea.The campaign itself changed the traditional advertising style of the fast-food industry. The TV ads of Sparrow focused on entertainment and featured original songs performed by a variety of stars. Instead of showing the superiority of a specific product, the intention was to put Sparrow in the hearts of potential customers.Pearson also made other decisions which he believed would contribute to the new Sparrow image. For example, he offered to lower the rent of any restaurants which achieved a certain increase in their turnover (营业额) .These efforts paid off, and Sparrow soon became one of the most successful fast-food chains in the regions where it operated.12.
