2019-2020学年安徽省六安第一中学高三英语期末考试试题及参考答案第一部分阅读(共两节,满分40分)第一节(共15小题;每小题2分,满分30分)阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项APeople in the Middle Ages did eat with their hands. Personal utensils (餐具) were mostly unheard of, especially forks. There were spoons to help serve, but only special guests would receive a knife from the host. Everyone else would be expected to bring their own. Of course, eating with one's hands can be quite a sticky situation, so towels were provided to help diners stay at least somewhat clean as they ate.Still, dining was often a messy affair. At special occasions in the wealthiest households, women tended to dine alone, separate from the men. Women were expected to uphold a quality of grace. Eating greasy meat by hand would certainly not help! Once the men and women had finished their meals, they would come together to socialize.Dietary scholars of the Middle Ages believed that the foods in a meal needed to be served and eaten in order of heaviness. The lightest and most easily digested foods, such as fruits and cheeses, were eaten first to help the digestive (消化) system get started. Once digestion was underway, greens and light meats, such as lettuce, cabbage and chicken, could be eaten. Last came the heavier vegetables and meats, such as carrots, beans, beef, pork, and mutton. This method was considered the most healthful way to eat.The main and largest meal of the day was supper, and it was eaten at midday. Dinner was a light meal, and many of those in nobility (贵族) -the highest levels of the Middle Ages society-skipped breakfast altogether. Breakfast was considered unnecessary for those who did not perform physical work. Snacks and any other eating during the day were viewed the same way. Commoners, or the working class, were allowed to eat breakfast and small meals throughout the day.1. What did people in the Middle Ages usually do at the dinner table?A. They cleaned hands before meals.B. They used personal utensils.C. They had to use knives at dinner.D. They ate mostly with hands.2. What is the third paragraph mainly about?A. The order of eating foods.B. The weight of various foods.C. The principles of digesting foods.D. The list of healthy foods.3. Why did the nobility avoid eating breakfast?A. Breakfast was wasted for the nobility.B. Breakfast was viewed as unnecessary.C. Breakfast was considered as a light meal.D. Breakfast was saved for commoners.BWho is a genius? This question has greatly interested humankind for centuries.Let's state clearly: Einstein was a genius. His face is almost the international symbol for genius. But we want to go beyond one man and explore the nature of genius itself. Why is it that some people are so much more intelligent or creative than the rest of us? And who are they?In the sciences and arts, those praised as geniuses were most often white men, of European origin. Perhaps this is not a surprise. It's said that history is written by the victors, and those victors set the standards for admission to the genius club. When contributions were made by geniuses outside the club—women, or people of a different color1 or belief—they were unacknowledged and rejected by others.A study recently published bySciencefound that as young as age six, girls are less likely than boys to say that members of their gender(性别)are “really, really smart.” Even worse, the study found that girls act on that belief: Around age six they start to avoid activities said to be for children who are “really, really smart.” Can our planet afford to have any great thinkers become discouraged and give up? It doesn't take a genius to know the answer: ly not.Here's the good news. In a wired world with constant global communication, we're all positioned to see flashes of genius wherever they appear. And the more we look, the more we will see that social factors(因素)like gender, race, and class do not determine the appearance of genius. As a writer says, future geniuses come from those with “intelligence, creativity, perseverance(毅力), and simple good fortune, who are able to change the world.”4. Whatdoes the author think of victors' standards for joining the genius club?A. They're unfair.B. They're conservative.C. They're objective.D. They're strict.5. What can we infer about girls from the study inScience?A. They think themselves smart.B. They look up to great thinkers.C. They see gender differences earlier than boys.D. They are likely to be influenced by social beliefs6. Why are more geniuses known to the public?A. Improved global communication.B. Less discrimination against women.C.Acceptance of victors' concepts.D. Changes in people's social positions.7. What is the best title for the text?A. Geniuses Think AlikeB. Genius Takes Many FormsC. Genius and IntelligenceD. Genius and LuckCThe relationship between humans and the Amazon Rainforest has not always been a harmonious one. However, recent research suggests that the native peoples ofthe Putumayo region helped to protect the rainforest, leaving it unchanged for 5,000 years. Perhaps humans’ coexisting with nature is possible after all.The study, published in PNAS, looked at soil samples in the Putumayo region of the Amazon in Peru to find how humans influenced the land. The researchers found that the trees still growing in the region today have been growing there for the last 5,000 years — evidence that the area has not been home to cities and farmland in that time. Traces of charcoal(木炭) found in the, soil, however, indicate that people did live there; they just did so in a way that had minimum influence on their environment.To come to these conclusions the team dug a 0.6-0.9 meter deep column into the ground, taking samples of soilfrom different heights along the column. Back in the lab, samples were carbon- dated to determine their age and then sorted under a microscope to look for microscopic mineral particles, known as phytoliths (植硅体). Phytoliths are essential evidence of plants— they remained in the soil thousands of years after the plant died. So researchers can use them to tell which plants have grown in an area in the past.Over 5,000 years’ worth of samples, no species loss was detected. These findings suggest that contrary to common belief, the Amazon is not untouched by humans, but rather has been protected by them for thousands ofyears. The management of the rainforest by native peoples appears to have been vital in preserving its biodiversity and will continue to be important in the fight to prevent it from acollapse.As Nigel Pitman, a co-author on the paper, said: “Since this particular forest is still being protected by native peoples, I hope this study reminds us all how important it is to support their work.”8. How did native peoples deal with the rainforest in the region of Putumayo?A. They always destroyed the rainforest.B. They had a side effect on the rainforest.C. They never lived in the area of the forest.D. They had been in harmony with the forest.9. What did the researchers try to find in the Amazon forest in Peru?A. The diversity of the plants in the rainforest.B. The evidence of human influence on the forest.C. The nutrition of the soil samples in the rainforest.D. The survival age of growing trees in the rainforest.10. What does the underlined word “collapse” mean in Paragraph 4?A. Sudden decrease.B. Bad management.C. Poor preservation.D. Over development.11. What can be inferred from Nigel Pitman's words?A. Native peoples should protectthe rainforest.B. We should help protect the Amazon Rainforest.C. More science research should be done on rainforest.D We should make good use of the Amazon Rainforest.DCalifornia's August Complex Fire tore through more than 1,600 square miles of forest last summer,burning nearly every tree in its path. It was the largest wildfire in the state's recorded history, breaking the record previously set in 2018. After the fire, land managers must determine where to most efficiently plant new trees.A predictive mapping model called the Postfire Spatial Conifer Restoration Planning Tool recently described in Ecological Applications could inform these decisions, saving time and expense. The tool can “show where young trees are needed most, where the forest isn't going to come back on its own, where we need to intervene(干预)if we want to maintain forests," says lead author Joseph Stewart, an ecologist at the University of California,Davis.To develop the model, Stewart and his colleagues classified data collected from more than 1,200 study plots in 19 areas that burned between 2004 and 2012. They combined these data with information on rainfall, geography, climate, forest composition and bum severity.Theyalso included how many seeds sample conifer trees (针叶树)produced in 216locations over 18 years, assessing whether the trees release different numbers of seeds after a fire.The tool's potential benefits are significant, says Kimberley Davis, a conservation scientist at theUniversityofMontana, who was not involved in the study. Those managers will still have to make hard decisions, such as which species to plant in areas that may experience warmer and drier conditions resulting from climate change, but the model provides some research-based guidance to help the forests recover.12. What challenge do land managers face after the wildfire?A. Lack of wood supplies.B. Where to plant new trees best.C. How to save the burned trees.D. Loss of trees and wild animals.13. What's the main idea of paragraph 2?A. The function of the tool.B. The disadvantages of the tool.C. The improvement of the tool.D. The development of the tool.14. What does the underlined word "They" refer to?A. The study plots.B. The data.C. Stewart and his colleagues.D. The seeds.15. What isDavis' attitude towards the tool?A. Skeptical.B. Ambiguous.C. Tolerant.D. Optimistic.第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

AHave you ever been to the world’s smallest bookstore?The World’s Smallest Bookstore, whose official name is just these three words, sits quietly about 100 miles northeast of Toronto.The bookstore is about 10 feet by 10 feet,so it is easy to imagine how tiny it really is. The bookstore is open 24 hours a day. Inside the bookstore are various books, especially literary books and classic authors’ works. So if you are looking for something less popular, you may get a bit disappointed there.Another special feature of this bookstore is that each book only costs three dollars. All the expenses are paid on the honor system, which means buyers should make a note of what they’ve bought and leave their money by themselves. So the tools of the trade in this bookstore are quite simple: pens, papers, light bulbs and a label-maker.In order to catch passers-by’s attention, the billboards (广告牌) of the bookstore are several times bigger than the store itself. With these large eye-catchers, many people are willing to stop by and have a visit.21. What’s the passage mainly abou t?A. The popular books nowadays.B. A strange way of selling books.C.

According to the text, Camp Bestival .A. has won awards each year since 2008B. attracts 30,000 people every yearC. is aimed at young kidsD. is held every summer25. If a couple brings their 3-year-old child to Camp Bestival 2021, they should pay .A. £ 375B. £ 380C. £ 390D. £ 41026. For Friday arrivals, they .A. may stay in the campsites till midnight on MondayB. are refused entry to the campsites after 2 pmC. are required to park their cars before 9 amD. can enter the campsites in the morning27. We can infer from the text that Camp Bestival is .A. new-bornB. smoke-filledC. student-centeredD. environmentally-friendlyCSome of the most famous universities in America are urging students to consider the idea of putting off college for a year. It’s called a “gap year.” And while it’s been common and popular in Australia and the U.K. for decades, t he concept is now starting to gain significant steam here in America.Why? A growing number of high school seniors are tired of riding the academic conveyor belt from preschool all the way to university. They’re burnt out. Or not quite ready. Or they want to explore a few interests before deciding what to study in college, they’re volunteering in New Orleans or teaching in Thailand. They’re starting the great American novel, or working for a short time to help figure out what they want to do with their lives.Understandably, that makes a lot of parents nervous. But a gap year does not mean that a student will remain degree-less forever. While there are no formal studies on the number of students who don’t finally go to college after the gap year, evidence from admissions officers across the country says very few actually leave college without finishing their courses. Taking a gap year can actually make kids more focused and ready for future academic life. In fact, Harvard University believes so much in the gap year that it encourages every student it admits to consider a year off before matriculation (入学).The reason behind higher education’s support of the gap year is clear: Better-prepared students mean higher completion rates. And it’s completion that matte rs. Parents should remember that getting a kid into college is only half the battle. According to the College Board, three out of five students who enter a public four-year college don’t manage to obtain a degree within five years. And nearly 30 percent of all students who enter college don’t return after the gap year. Considering the fact that this year’s average price at a four-year private college is about $ 23,712 per year, it’s a pretty expensive place to play around.28. Students want to take a gap year mainly because .①they want to have an experience of foreign education②they want to escape academic pressure for a while③they want to read more books before college④they are not completely prepared for college⑤they can’t decide what to lea rn in collegeA. ①③④B. ①③⑤C. ②③④D. ②④⑤29. What makes parents feel concerned about the gap year?A. The high cost of the gap year.B. The safety risks outside school.C. Their kids dropping out of collegeD. Their kids falling behind in their lessons.30. Why do some universities encourage the gap year?A. It means students will have enough money to pay for college.B. It allows students to finish college in less than four years.C. It gets students more involved in their studies.D. It makes students develop a competitive spirit.31. What is the author’s attitude towards the gap year?A. Surprised.B. Supportive.C. Critical.D. Doubtful.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 (液体).When you lose too much water, you can overheat quite easily, especially in a warm environment. But this is not the only problem you may face. Dehydration leads to your heart pumping much faster, which means exercise becomes more difficult and requires more 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 without simply drinking more to replace it? Well, it’s easier than you think. When we are at rest, we quickly become aware that we are thirsty and will put that right by having a drink. When we exercise, on the other hand, our thirst mechanism (结构) does not work as effectively, sowe don’t notice early enough that we are actually thirsty. In fa ct, we only start to fed thirsty when we have already lost around two percent of our body weight.Another problem is that, the more dehydration we become during exercise, the more difficult it is to prevent further dehydration-because our stomachs become intolerant (不能容忍的) to fluids and we do not absorb water properly, just when we need it most.The key thing about fluids and exercise is to manage your intake properly-regular small amounts are preferable, and some should be drunk before the period of exercise begins. You also need to match your intake to the sort of exercise you are doing. For example, for one hour of exercise, such as taking part in a 10 km run, you need to drink about two extra litres of water. For longer periods of exercise, sports drinks are recommended.32. We know from the text that during exercise, dehydration .A. can be easily avoided.B. will lead to poor performance.C. can cause many health problems.D. will be controlled whenever we drink again.33. Why do people suffer from dehydration easily during exercise?A. Their thirst mechanism stops working.B. Their focus is on the exercise.C. Their thirst response is slow.D. Their stomachs are full.34. When exercising, you are advised to .A. have regular breaks.B. drink water properly.C. drink sports water in advance.D. have at least two liters of water.35. What would be the best title for the text?A. Keep fitB. Say no to sports!C. Time to get drinking!D. Ways to avoid dehydration其次节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)依据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

AThe Worlds'Best BookshopsThere's nothing like being surrounded by books,wherever you are.Here are the finest oases of literature that travellers can bring you.Daikanyama T﹣site|TokyoIt is well worth visiting even if just to admire the building's beautiful,crisscrossed architecture.Once you've had your fill of roaming three floors'worth of bookshelves,there's the bar,the coffee shop,or even the video rental space to give you more reason to stay just that little bit longer.Grab a book,order a beer and dive into its pages.I could have stayed hours here.City Lights|San FranciscoThe three﹣storey establishment publishes and sells titles in poetry,fiction,translation,politics,history and the arts.It hosts events and readings,and runs a non﹣profit of the same name that aims to promote diversity of voices and ideas in literature.It's opposite Vesuvio,a bar frequented by Kerouac and other Beat﹣generation writers and artists.Shakespeare and Company|ParisI made a special trip to the Left Bank for this one when I was in Paris.It has two floors packed with English﹣language texts,and I was particularly struck by any spare wall space devoted to notes from visitors﹣heartfelt messages to a loved one,dedications to the shop itself,or a quote from a favourite author or philosopher.Hutatma Chowk|MumbaiA few years ago I visited India,investigating Rudyard Kipling's connections with the country.I spotted a cheap copy of The Jungle Book on one of the tarp﹣covered book stalls at Hutatma Chowk(Martyrs'Square).The booksellers here are like amateur librarians,able to lay their hands on almost any title you ask for.To me,those well﹣thumbed(翻旧了的)books spoke volumes about the changes of Mumbai's readers in the150years since the city gave us Kipling.21.In which bookshop can you buy a drink while visiting?A.Daikanyama T﹣site B.City LightsC.Shakespeare and Company D.Hutatma Chowk22.What can be learned about the book stalls at Hutatma Chowk?A.People can meet Rudyard Kipling there.B.They sell the cheapest books in the world.C.The book owners are amateur librarians.D.The sellers are familiar with the books.23.What do the four bookstores have in common?A.They are beautifully designed.B.They are three﹣storey buildings.C.They offer book lovers good experience.D.They are frequently visited by great writers.BHoward Weistling wanted to be a comic strip(连环漫画)artist.But when the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor,he joined the Army.After flight engineer training,Howard was shipped off to Europe.On his maiden flight,his plane was shot down over Austria.The entire crew of eight men landed safely.But a farmer found Howard hiding in his barn and turned him over to a prison of war camp in Barth,Germany.It was freezing and the men almost starved to death eating the guards'garbage.Hungry and homesick Howard coped the only way he knew how.He drew a comic strip.The book,made of cigarette wrappers bound together with scrap metal,was sent around the camp.Every couple of days he would add a new panel.One panel at a time would be passed around the whole camp.And they'd have something to look forward to.After an entire year of this,they woke one morning to find their guards gone.They fled and Howard finally got to go home.Just lucky to get out alive,he left the book behind.Back home in California,Howard soon had a wife and kids to feed so he had to set aside his dream of becoming an artist.He took a job as a gardener instead.Morgan shared his father's artistic gifts.At15his parents sent him to art school.And Howard got to see his son become a well﹣known painter before he died in2002.That's how,seven decades after the war,when a stranger in New York googled the name "Weistling,"he found Morgan online."I get an email from a gentleman and he says,‘I think I may have some drawings your father did when he was a POW(prisoner of war)in World War II,'"Morgan recalls."‘Would you like them?'And I just stared at that email and started crying."Luckily Howard had engraved his name on the comic book,which is how the man from New York City had connected with Morgan.A couple of days later when it arrived in California,Morgan couldn't believe it."It was like getting my father back,"Morgan says."It was like him being able to tell me the story over again﹣only this time it was real in my hands."24.The passage details Howard's life as a POW to show that.A.war cannot stop his pursuit of successB.passion for art helped ease his sufferingsC.loss of freedom encouraged his creativityD.misery drives him to fight against his fate25.What can we infer about Howard's comic strip in prison?A.It satisfied prisoners'curiosity.B.It aroused the guards'sympathy.C.It was popular among the prisoners.D.It raised prisoners'confidence in freedom.26.What contributes to the stranger's success in finding Morgan?A.The email from a gentleman.B.Howard's experience in the war.C.Morgan's recalling of his father.D.Morgan's status in the field of art.27.What can we infer about Morgan from the last paragraph?A.He didn't believe the stranger's story.B.He was excited to get the comic strip.C.He couldn't wait to tell others his good news.D.He hadn't heard about his father's war stories.CYour brain isn't necessarily the same age as the rest of you.Now,it may be possible to predict how quickly a person's brain will age throughout life based on tests taken when he or she is three years old.A person's biological age may be a better indicator of their health than their realage.Brain age can be measured using brain scans and machine﹣learning to determine if a person's brain looks older or younger than the average healthy brain for people of the same age.To find out if brain age might reveal anything about a person's health in midlife,Max Elliott at Duke University in North Carolina and his colleagues assessed the brains of869 adults in New Zealand who have undergone regular medical and cognitive(认知的)testing since they were3years old.When the volunteers,all aged between43and46,underwent MRI brain scans,the team found that their brain ages ranged from23to71.Those with older brain ages performed worse on tests of cognition,memory and IQ.The researchers also found that some people have a very advanced brain age but their bodies seem to be ageing slowly,and vice versa(反之亦然).However,the team found that those who had the highest scores on cognitive tests when they were3years old went on to have the youngest﹣looking brains.This suggests we might be able to tell who is at risk of accelerated brain ageing early in life.Researchers hope that predicting brain ageing earlier in life could allow treatments for conditions like dementia(痴呆)to be started sooner.This means treatments might have a better chance of working.We don't yet have a way to treat brain ageing,but given the known benefits to the brain of healthy eating and exercise,these aren't a bad place to start.28.What helps predict the speed of one's brain ageing?A.One's health condition.B.A test result at the age of3.C.The actual age of one's brain.D.A machine for medical check.29.What is the purpose of Elliott's research?A.To find out why people look older or younger.B.To measure people's brain age at different stages.C.To discover whether brain age can be measured by machines.D.To explore the relationship between brain age and future health.30.What is Paragraph4mainly about?A.The influence of cognitive tests.B.The procedure of Elliott's study.C.The information about volunteers.D.The findings of the brain research.31.What do the findings of the research imply?A.We should test our brain age earliest possible.B.People suffering dementia can go on working.C.Brain ageing could be predicted at an early age.D.Healthy eating and exercise can cure brain ageing.DOne of the most popular beliefs in parenting is the so﹣called Mozart effect,which says that listening to music by the Austrian composer Wolfgang Mozart can increase a child's intelligence.Some pregnant women have even gone so far as to play Mozart recordings on headphones pressed against their bellies.And it's not hard to see how Mozart's name became associated with accelerated development.He was history's greatest child genius,performing astonishing music for kings and queens at an age when many of us were content with tuneless singing"I'm a Little Teapot".So,if you have kids or you're expecting to have them,how seriously should you take the Mozart effect?Will the child who doesn't listen to Mozart in the cradle(摇篮)be limited to an ordinary life?Are you a bad parent if your kids don't know about any works of Mozart?Relax.There is no scientific evidence that listening to Mozart improves children's cognitive abilities.The whole idea comes from a small study done in1993,which found that college students who listened to Mozart's Sonata for Two Pianos in D Major(K448)showed some improvement in a test of spatial(空间的)skills.This finding was later described as something extremely amazing by a musician,Don Campbell,in a book.Campbell's claims about the super powers of Mozart's music were repeated endlessly in the media and fueled a craze for Mozart﹣based enrichment activities.In1998,for example,the governor of Georgia in the USA requested funds to send classical﹣music CDs to all parents of newborns in the state.Since then,scientists have examined the claim that Mozart increases intelligence and found no evidence for it.The original experiment with college students was reviewed in 1999,and the increase in the students'spatial skills was found to be negligible.In2007the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research asked a team of experts to examine the scientific literature regarding Mozart and child development,and they found no reason to believe that it increased intelligence.32.People relate Mozart to children's intelligence development because he.A.owned extraordinary music talentB.could perform music as a childC.offered music to pregnant womenD.was an royal Austrian composer33.What can we know about the small study in1993?A.It added to the popularity of Mozart's music.B.It found no evidence for supporting Mozart effect.C.It helped college students make academic progress.D.It urged Georgia's governor to spread classical music.34.What does the underlined word"negligible"probably mean?A.Sudden.B.Insignificant.C.Average.D.Steady.35.What can be the best title for the text?A.New Findings:Mozart Effect to Be ProvedB.Secrets Uncovered:History of Mozart EffectC.Does Listening to Mozart Make Kids Smarter?D.How Does Mozart Improve Kids'Intelligence?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.Your comfort zone is a behavioral space where your activities and behaviors fit a routine and pattern that minimizes stress and risk。

安徽省六安市第一中学高三下学期综合训练(一)英语试题 含答案

第二部分阅读理解(共两节,满分40分)第一节(共15小题;每小题2分,满分30分)阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳的选项。

ASo many of us hold on to little complaints that may have come from an argument, a misunderstanding, the way we were raised, or some other painful event. Stubbornly, we wait for someone else to reach out to us—believing this is the only way we can forgive or rekindle a friendship or family relations.A friend of mine, recently told me that she hadn’t spoken to her son in almost three years. She said that she and her son had h ad a disagreement about his wife and that she wouldn’t speak to him again unless he called first. When I suggested that she be the one to reach out, she said, “I can’t do that. He’s the one who should apologize.” After a little gentle encouragement, howeve r, she did decide to be the first one to reach out. To her amazement, her son was grateful for her willingness to call and offered an apology of his own. As is usually the case, when someone takes the chance and reaches out, everyone wins.Whenever we hold on to our anger, we turn “small stuff(问题)” into really “big stuff” in our minds. We start to believe that our positions are more important than our happiness. They are not. If you want to be a more peaceful person you must understand that being right is almost never more important than allowing yourself to be happy. The way to be happy is to let go, and reach out. Let other people be right. This doesn’t mean that you’re wrong. Everything will be fine. You’ll experience the peace of letting go, as well as the joy of letting others be right.You’ll also notice that, as you reach out and let others be “right,” they will become less defensive and more loving toward you. They might even reach back. But, if for some reason they don’t, that’s okay too. You’ll have the inner satisfaction of knowing tha t you have done your part to create a more loving world, and certainly you’ll be more peaceful yourself.21. The underlined word “rekindle” in Paragraph 1 probably means “______”.A. recoverB. developC. acceptD. replace22. In the author’s opinion, we hold on to our anger often because we think ______.A. we can turn small issues into big onesB. our positions are higher than othersC. our own opinions matter mostD. others will be less defensive23. The best thing to do after a quarrel is to_________.A. let go of our own rightsB. realize that you are wrongC. expect others to give inD. apologize to others first24. What is the main idea of the passage?A. People should keep peaceful when facing small stuffB. Reaching out and apologizing wins one peace and happinessC. We should tell apart small and big stuff in our daily lifeD. I t’s necessary to enjoy our friendship and family relationshipBWhile I will explain a bit about the science of stress and relaxation a little later in the chapter, a simple way to think about it is that our body’s stress response works like a car alarm. It is designed to keep us safe by warning us of the presence of danger in our immediate environment.But instead of warning us with a loud and annoying sound, our body alarm system lets us know that something is wrong by creating changes in our neurochemistry (神经化学).If you’ve ever experienced pain in your stomach, periods of extreme anger, inability to focus or even insomnia (失眠), chances are your body was paying the price in those moments for the brain chemistry of stress.So if it’s so uncomfortable, why not just get rid of stress altogether?This is not only impractical, it would be dangerous. Let’s go back to the metaphor (比喻说法)of the car alarm. If the alarm is turned off altogether, the car is exposed to continual danger without there being any way of your knowing about it until it is too late. It would be like walking through the jungle without any fear signal in the presence of a poisonous snake or other dangerous animals —while it might feel “nice” to be so relaxed, your body actually needs the stress response not only to remind you of danger but also to offer extra adrenaline (肾上腺素)for your heart and extra blood and oxygen for your arms and legs.However, if the car alarm goes off at any time, someone just looks at the car with a bit of an atti-tude, and it becomes equally useless. Not only do we stop paying attention to it, but it begins to drive us and everyone around us becomes a little bit crazy. In the case of our bodies, walking around in a constant state of alarm also has some pretty alarming health consequences, which we will explore in greater depth in the next chapter.25. Our body's stress response is compared to a car alarm in that_ .A. they work all the timeB. they both give a signalC. they work in the same wayD. they both produce a sound26. When our body alarm system works, _ .A. we feel calmB. we feel excitedC. some changes happen in our brainD. some changes happen in our heart27. What would happen if stress were got rid of completely?A. We'11 be free of worries.B. We'11 achieve a sense of safety.C. We'11 reach a perfect state of mind.D. We'11 fail to realize the possible danger.28. What’s the purpose of giving the example of walking through the Jungle in Paragraph 4 ?A. To show the harm of stress.B. To show the effect of stress.C. To explain the function of stress response.D. To explain the necessity of stress response.CAt the Magazine we welcome your contributions!

To teach or not to teachcursive is the question that several state education departments are struggling with.Before you read this write-up, do a simple exercise. Pick a pen and paper and start writing in cursive. Yes, that fancy handwriting that you learned in grade school. You may not have forgotten the good times you had while writing loopy Ps and Gs as well as curly Ms and Ns. However, the chances are you won't be able to write it as excellently as you used to. Some people are good at making the perfect loops and curls, while some are bad. I am still terrible at it.Cursive is hardly used by kids anymore as even adults don 't write in this style, unless they are using it for theirsignature. Learning this handwriting was a usual practice in school for several decades. However, in 2011, the Indiana Department of Education made it optional (可选择的)for schools to teach cursive writing to the students. In fact, there were 46 more states who have done the same.There are some who believe that it is high time for cursive to retire from school curriculum. After all, if we don ’ t leave the past behind, we cannot make way for new things. If you walk into any classroom, you would find children using keyboards to communicate in written form. On the other hand, fans of this cursive insist on its usefulness. They remind us that if we stop teaching and learning cursive in schools, very soon most of our historical documents will become hard to us.Where do we stand on this subject Is it the right time to erase an almost forgotten handwriting and live in the keyboarding world? Or can we do both without compromising (妥协)on our school curriculum? Let me know your thoughts on this matter by leaving a comment in the section below.32.People use cursive when they______________.A. give their signatureB. are in IndianaC. grow up as adultsD. are at school33,In Indiana school, children _________.A. must learn cursiveB. are interested in cursiveC. can choose to learn cursiveD. learn cursive everyday34.It can be inferred that the author _______________.A. prefers to learn cursiveB. is a cursive teacherC. welcomes people to show their opinionsD. is a very famous expert in education35. What would be the best title for the passage?A. Is Cursive Writing NecessaryB. Is Keyboarding World GoodC. A Keyboarding WorldD.

While other kids were outside playing ball, Jim was usually reading. He could be found in one of his favorite places: curled up underneath the kitchen table or up in the tree that grew in his front yard.Jim was born in Demopolis, Alabama, during the time of segregation (隔离). Because Jim was Black, he was not allowed to check out a single book at the public library. Libraries were for whites only. The laws of segregation separated Jim from all the books he longed to read. But Jim was determined. He convinced a teacher at school to lend him books of her own. He even managed to get some public library books through a white woman whom his mom worked for doing laundry.When Jim was a teenager, Black Americans’ struggle for equal rights was becoming the civil rights movement. Many brave people were taking risks by refusing to follow unfair segregation laws. Jim went to Montgomery, Alabama, and joined a civil rights group. The group was headed by Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Jim believed in King’s nonviolent approach to change. Once, during a peaceful march, Jim was arrested. Because of that, his college expelled him.He did graduate from another college. Afterward, he went on to teach school in Harlem, a part of New York City. As a teacher, he had trouble finding books that interested his Black students. So he decided to write his own books about successful Black Americans. Throughhis writing, he met and interviewed many of the people he admired, including Rosa Parks.Today, libraries have more than one hundred books written by Jim Haskins, the boy who loved to read, and today, children of all races can walk through the doors of any public library and find interesting books that inform, entertain, and inspire them.4.What can we learn from the description in paragraph 1?A.Jim Haskins studied harder than other kids.B.Jim Haskins had no interest in playing ball.C.Jim Haskins was enthusiastic about reading.D.Jim Haskins preferred to read under the table.5.What does the underlined word “expelled” in paragraph 3 mean?A.Dismissed.B.Promoted.C.Praised.D.Monitored. 6.Why was Jim Haskins determined to write his own books?A.To rise to be a famous writer.B.To put an end to segregation.C.To appeal to Black students.D.To introduce the people he admired. 7.What can be a suitable title for the text?A.Pathways into the Library B.Anxiety for KnowledgeC.Struggle for Equal Rights D.Protest against SegregationHave you ever walked through a door and thought to yourself, “What was I going to do?” If you have, you are not alone. Psychologists believe that walking through a door and entering another room creates a “mental block” in the brain. This is generally referred to as the doorway effect.In the early years of brain research, scientists thought that human memory was like a closet, with many sections in which we could store little boxes of experiences from our lives. Boxes would remain there forever, and whenever we had to look into them, we could just go to that particular section and find that box of memory.Beautiful as this description of human memory formation sounds, it is not true. Our brain is much more complex than that. Psychological studies suggest that our memories are episodic(情节性的)in general. If you think back on anything, you’ll probably quickly realize our memories don’t function as clear narratives. Instead, they’re more episodic and divided into parts.A new research led by psychologist Oliver Baumann from Bond University in Australiasuggests that it’s not so much the doorways that cause a memory wipe, as moving from one location to a significantly different one—it’s the abrupt change of scene that prepares our minds for something new. “A good example is moving around in a department store,” says Baumann, “Taking the elevator between floors may have no effect on our memory, but moving from the store to the parking lot might cause us to forget something that we need to buy.”Baumann also points out that a busy and perhaps overloaded brain does seem to play some part in this phenomenon. In other words, walking through open doors is thought to reset memory to make room for a new episode.The good news is that experiencing such forgettable episodes after entering another room does not tell you anything about your memory and intelligence. So when you enter a room and suddenly forget why you are there, you should not think that Alzheimer’s disease is creeping up on you!8.Which of the following would most probably be “doorway effect”?A.You missed a call and forgot to ring back.B.You read a book and forget what it is about.C.You entered the office and forgot what to get.D.You saw a man years ago and forget who he is now.9.What can we learn from the passage?A.All memories are linked in the brain.B.Memories are clearly separated in the brain.C.Not all the memories can be found in the brain.D.Memories are stored in particular sections of the brain.10.What can we infer from Baumann’s research?A.Taking an elevator stimulates new memory.B.Walking through open doors results in memory loss.C.A sudden change of the scene boosts intelligence development.D.An overloaded brain increases the possibility of doorway effect.11.What does the author think of “doorway effect”?A.Insignificant.B.Beneficial.C.Influential.D.Damaging.There are many sources of debate on a long road trip, including route selection, the choice of snacks ,and, probably most importantly, what to play on the radio. Finding a way for all parties to listen to their own audio without the need for headphones has been a goal of car makers for decades and scientists may have finally managed it.A team from the University of Le Mans in France carefully positioned microphones, speakers and filters (过滤器) to create personalised sound zones (PSZs) inside a car, and the small regions are where sound from a set of speakers can be heard clearly. Outside these, it can not be heard.One barrier which scientists have previously been unable to overcome was the impact of moving one’s seat. They were able to form a PSZ, but unable to move it to follow a person if they moved the seat forwards or backwards.The French team created a new algorithm (算法) specifically to tackle this issue, which handles the sound waves to create “bright” and “dark” zones in the car. “Loudspeakers are placed in the headrests. and specific filters for each transducer (换能器) are calculated to reproduce a sound signal that maintains. good quality in the zone under consideration and is strongly weakened in other zones.” said Dr Lucas Vindrola, the author of the study. “The key to the technique working properly is having sufficient microphones placed around the car to detect how many people are in the car and where they are sitting. The price to pay is to have control microphones in the passenger section, so that the algorithm can work.”However, the technique is not yet ready to be commercially rolled out as a luxurious optional extra just yet, as it currently works only for a limited range of frequencies. 12.What was once a challenge for scientists?A.PSZs could hardly be formed.B.The sound of moving a seat is loud.C.They couldn’t create movable PSZs.D.The seats couldn’t be moved back and forth.13.What is Paragraph 4 mainly about?A.How the impact of moving one’s seat was addressed.B.Why enough microphones are placed around the car.C.When the algorithm can work well for all passengers.D.Where “bright” and “dark” zones are created in the car.14.What can we infer about the new technique?A.It currently works without limitation.B.It has been put into use commercially.C.It can function well with enough microphones.D.It is costly to detect the position of microphones.15.What is the main purpose of the passage?A.To launch a new debate.B.To tackle an old problem.C.To advertise an algorithm.D.To introduce a new technology.二、七选五One Second Every DayI’ve been in advertising for eight years and used to work a lot of late nights and weekends for numerous projects. 16 One day I watched a talk called “The power of time off”. It’s about how every seven years, the speaker takes a year off from work so he can do his own creative projects. 17 I decided I had to do that. I need to take time to start my own creative ideas.The first project ends up being something I call “One Second Every Day”. Basically I record one second of every day for the rest of my life, combining these moments into one single continuous video until I can’t record them anymore. 18 There’re many things I have no recollection of unless someone brings them up, and I think, “Oh, that’s something I did.”19 On a good day, I’ll have maybe four seconds I want to choose. I’ll just have to narrow them down to one, but even narrow them down to that one allows me to remember the other three anyway.I don’t use any filters (滤镜), just trying to catch the moment as much as possible as it is.I started a rule of the first person view. Early on, I thought I should have a couple of videos where people would see me, but I realized that wasn’t the way to go. 20 The project has many possibilities. I encourage you all to record just a small piece of your life every day, so you can never forget that day and treasure every moment.A.It instantly inspired me.B.The purpose is to remember what I’ve done.C.I’m always energetic when doing things I love.D.People might have different interpretations of it.E.It’s difficult, sometimes, to pick that one second.F.But I never had time for one I wanted to work on on my own.G.The essence of my project should be recording the thing as I actually see it.三、完形填空The habit of reading is one of the greatest resources of mankind: we enjoy reading books that belong to us much more than if they are borrowed. Some people regard a borrowed bookattitudes are forbidden. Because the book is borrowed, it tolerates no damage which means itThis is huge 25 to one’s imagination.26 , your own books belong to you and you can treat them with so much closeness that you are not afraid to mark it up or to place it in a dirty place. Your own books are there for use, not for 27 . You don’t need to display them in front of others. Private ownership also encourages 28 marking. A good reason for marking instructive passages in books is that this practice enables you to remember more easily the significant sayings, to 29 them quickly and then review them more frequently in the future.Given the importance of owned books to a man, everyone should begin collecting a private library, making up his own 30 property. One should have his own bookshelves, which should not be having doors, glass windows, or keys. They should be free and 31 to the hand as well as the eye. Like the jewellery to a woman, the best moral 32 to a man is books. They are more varied in colour and appearance than any wall-paper. Their variety indicates 33 out of brains of different book writers. The knowledge that books are in plain view is also stimulating. Your body and mind are both 34 . With books at hand, your mind is free to land any 35 or even strange possibility, which eventually gives birth to new discoveries or inventions. 21.A.teacher B.guest C.relative D.servant 22.A.Continual B.Usual C.Casual D.Gradual 23.A.suffer B.store C.destroy D.describe24.A.trends B.goals C.definitions D.points 25.A.discipline B.discouragement C.relief D.reminder 26.A.Oppositely B.Fortunately C.Immediately D.Definitely 27.A.benefit B.profit C.show D.excuse 28.A.tough B.secondary C.sufficient D.meaningful 29.A.stick to B.refer to C.devote to D.adapt to 30.A.public B.economic C.intellectual D.imaginary 31.A.familiar B.effective C.flexible D.accessible 32.A.truth B.decoration C.training D.expense 33.A.simplicity B.creativity C.experiment D.life 34.A.conscious B.calm C.wild D.excited 35.A.fresh B.resourceful C.purposeful D.memorable四、用单词的适当形式完成短文阅读下面短文,在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。

AA Book Review—The Snake-Stoneby Berlie DohertyThe setting: Urban England(the cities),but also rural England(the countryside) including remote English villages.The theme: The main theme is a teenage search of self-discovery, in this case the search for a mother from whom the hero was separated at an early age. Its other concerns are love, getting on with others, being persistent and courageous and trying to deal with doubts, troubles and worries. As the book moves to a close, James’swimming coach says to him:“You are not like a kid obeying instructions any more. You are diving like a young man who knows where he is going.”The characters: James is the hero of the story. He is a championship diver, and has a comfortable life with his foster parents(养父母).Yet he also has the qualities to take him on a long journey to find his birth mother. The other characters in The Snake-Stone, James’ parents, his diving instructor, best friend, the villagers, people he meets on his journey, are pictured realistically.The turning point: The turning point in the story comes while James’ foster parents are away in London, and he wonders about the identity of his birth mother.

I planned to wake her up but as I came out from the bathroom, I realized that an earthquake struck. I screamed to wake my husband up and asked him to carry my daughter and ran out of our house. We were watching our house swaying from outside.

After some discussion, we decided to give them to the children in hospital. Entering the hospital, I was really shocked. There were thousands of people bleeding and lying outside the rooms.A boy came up with a bandage on his head. He stared at me with his questioning eyes as if he wanted to say, "Could I have one?"

Deputy chief executive Julie Townsend said “Baby On Board”signs are useful in warning the emergency services that a child may be involved in the event of a crash. “This help can become an obstacle if drivers display signs when their child isn’t in the vehicle,” she said. “Worse still, the danger can be posed by drivers obscuring their view by messing up windows with lots of signs. Drivers’ first concern always should be getting there safely without putting themselves, young passengers or other road users at risk.”A poll survey released by price comparison website found that 37 percent of parents have displayed signs and four out of five of them believe they improve safety. But 46 percent admit doing so at all times—regardless of whether or not their child is in the car—and 15 percent confess they only have them for their unusual value. The poll of 2,000 drivers also found that 46 percent of drivers regard them as a risk and 33 percent say they are cheap and low.“There are benefits and dangers to “Baby on Board” signs. They can offer useful information for rescuers in the case of a crash but having too many amazing items displayed could be a safety issue.” said a spokesman.32.The underlined word “obscure” in the first paragraph can be replaced by_ .A.broaden B.block C.attract D.catch33 .How many drivers in Britain say it is stickers’ and playtime equipment’s fault for acollision?A.1.75 million.B.1.65 million.C.1.85 million.D.1.95 million.34.Which statement is TRUE according to the poll?A.Most parents don’t believe the signs can improve safety.B.46 percent of the parents have signs in the car even if there is no child in the car.C.15 percent of the drivers admit they have the signs for they are unusual.D.33 percent of the drivers have a preference for the signs in the car.35.What is the author’s attitude towards the signs in the car?A.Positive. B.Worried. C.Objective. D.Approved.第二部分:七选五(共5 小题;每小题2 份,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。

AHiring a Car OnlineOnline car hire promises to be cheap, quick and convenient. But is it? Neil McDougall clicks his mouse.A Just click on the reservations button, fill in your home country, destination and dates, pick a car and you’re into the booking form without any trouble and with all the charges laid out. There’s also a detailed rental guide explaining your contract.B One to consider if you’re going to the States for a visit, although, after I’d worked through half the booking process, it returned an error message without telling me which part of the process needed adjusting. I got there in the end. There is a useful section with detailed directions for some of the great drives of America.C Book a flight with Expeed and when you continue on to the car-hire section, the software already knows where you are going and when. However, you seem to be limited to cities with airports for your car hire, and additional taxes are presented.D Another site offering discounts for booking online, but also special late deals. Prices are fully inclusive of insurance. It is now offering a lowest rates guarantee, an extra discount for former clients and a package of free gifts to sweeten the deal.E Avoid unnecessary complexity online but the booking process is as good as it gets. Very quick and smooth, so much so that people with older computers may have trouble getting this information. Enter how many miles you expect to drive and tick your insurance, driver and child-seat choices and they will all be included in the final price. You must contact the location directly if you need a car within three days. And to hire a car abroad, there’s a dull email form to fill in and they’ll get back to you.21.Which of the following websites presents some driving routes?.B. .C. .D. .22.What limitation does have?A.Customers have to pay high-rated taxes.B.Customers can hire a car only in certain places.C.Customers can hire only certain types of vehicles.D.Customers can hire a car only if you’ve booked a flight there.23.What is the disadvantage of ?A.The final price is too high.B.Its online booking procedure is complex.C.People have to wait for three days to get the car.D.It’s unsuitable for customers with out-of-date computers.BMathew Brady tried to end war for all time. He used a new, powerful weapon. He used a camera.Brady opened his first photograph studio in 1844. The images he produced were daguerreotypes ( 银版照片), not the photographs he would take later. Daguerreotypes recorded images on sheets of copper coated with silver. They required long exposures, so the person being photographed would have to stay perfectly still for 3-15 minutes. That made daguerreotypes impractical for portraits. By 1855, Brady was advertising a new type of image that had just been invented: a photograph made on paper.From the beginning of his career, Brady believed that photography could serve an important purpose. His images could create a record of national life. When the Civil War broke out, he wanted to document the war as a part of that record. His friends discouraged him, but Brady started to take photographs of war scenes. He gathered a group of photographers who worked in thefield, taking photographs of battle scenes and military life. He also bought photographs from others who were returning from the field. His efforts culminated (达到顶点) in an 1862 display of photographs made after the Battle of Antietam.The bloodshed (人员伤亡) shocked the visitors to the exhibit, most of whom had never seen afield of battle.Brady did not stop war with his work, but he did raise the awareness of the costs of war among common citizens. After the Civil War, people lost interest in his record of the war. Because he could find few buyers for his photographs and did not earn enough money to pay for his wartime work, Brady went bankrupt ( 破产的). Years after the war, the government bought Brady’s collection. It is now considered a priceless documentation of the War between the States. Other photographs by Mathew Brady sell for thousands of dollars and are considered national treasures.24.By 1855, the new technology .A.allowed Brady to open his first photography studioB.made daguerreotypes have shorter exposure timeC.allowed photographs to be recorded on paperD.made Brady begin to take photos of people25.When the Civil War broke out, Mathew Brady .A.began to take and collect pictures of the warB.started to realize the purpose of photographyC.established his exhibition centerD.went to the battlefield to report26.According to the text, Mathew Brady’s photographs .A.helped stop the Civil WarB.made people realize the cruelty of warC.were bought by the government during the warD.were considered national treasures right after the war27.This text mainly talks about .A.new inventions recording national lifeB.photographs taken during the Civil WarC.a soldier who took photographs at the battlefieldD.a photographer who wanted to stop war with his photosCMath can be as scary as spiders and snakes, at least in the brain of an 8-year-old child. And that early anxiety about dealing with numbers can put a child at a significant disadvantage, not only in school but in negotiating life and a career. Fortunately, a study of third-graders, published in the Journal of Neuroscience, suggests an intervention (干预) that can help. One-on-one tutoring does more than teach kids. It can help reduce the fear of math anxiety.“The most exciting aspect of our findings is that cognitive ( 认知的) tutoring not onlyimproves performance, but is also anxiety-reducing,” says Vi nod Menon.Menon and his colleagues knew from their earlier researchusing MRI scans (核磁扫描) of the brain that math anxiety activates much the same network of cells that some other common fears activate----fear of snakes or spiders or heights, for example. And they knew that a behavioral treatment known as exposure therapy helps some people solve the anxiety of those other phobias. Could the same thing be happening with math tutoring?To find out, the scientists invited 46 third-graders who answered questions about math worries and were also tested on simple addition problems while having their brains scanned via functional MRI. Based on their answers, scans and scores in each of the tests, the children were divided into two groups: one considered to have higher levels of math anxiety and one with lower levels. Afterward, both groups received eight weeks of one-on-one tutoring in basic arithmetic, a few sessions a week.Both groups did better in math at the end of the tutoring, Menon says. But most importantly, he says, the kids who had been anxious about math were 20 percent less anxious at the end of the eight weeks----a finding their brain scans confirmed.The tutoring was highly personalized----if a child got stuck on a particular concept, thetutor would w ork with the student to “get beyond the bottleneck in a non-negative, encouraging way”.Menon hopes to next study whether computerized tutoring can produce similar benefits and whether the reduction in math anxiety continues to exist as the children advance to more complex problem-solving skills.28.According to the text, early math anxiety may affect children’s.A.intelligence qualityB. ability to harmonize life andworkC. life skillsD. career choices29.What does the underlined word “phobias” in Paragraph 3mean?A.Scans.B. Tutors.C. Fears.D. Symptoms.30.Why did scientists test those 46 third-graders?A.To check the function of MRI scans.B.To help them get higher grades in math.C.To find out what addition problems they have.D.To prove whether one-on-one tutoring can reduce math anxiety.31.What does the author want to tell us in the last paragraph?puters can help reduce math anxiety.B.Menon will make a further study about the reduction in mathanxiety.C.One-on-one tutoring is useful for solving difficult problems.D.Scientists have applied one-on-one tutoring to social research.DFor the past few months, artificial intelligence (AI) has been a much talked about topic in the worlds of both pop culture andscience. Last November saw the release of Oscar-nominated ( 奥斯卡奖提名的) and winning movie, “The Imitation Game”, about the father of the modern computer, Alan Turing. Last month, another Hollywood film about clever robots, “Chappie”, hit theaters.Is artificial intelligence a good fortune or a bad luck for humans? In their book The Second Machine Age: Work, Progress, and Prosperity in a Time of Brilliant Technologies, authors Erik Brynjolfsson and Andrew McAfee, both of whom come from MIT, US, could barely hide their excitement toward the rise of machines.According to the authors, we’re entering an age of accelerated development o f artificial and robotic technology. “Digital machines have escaped their narrow confines limits and started to show broad abilities in pattern recognition, complex communication, and other areas that used to be only human,” write the authors. “We’ve recently seen great progress in natural language processing, machine learning, computer vision, and many other areas.”Already AI can help blind people see and deaf people hear. And wheelchairs have been invented that can be controlled by thoughts. We’ll witness more innovations and wonders made possible by AI, according to the authors.However, not all are equally enthusiastic about AI. A February report from the GlobalChallenges Foundation listed AI, along with extreme climate change, nuclear war and ecologi cal catastrophe, as “risks that threaten human civilization”. Many scientists share the same concern. Stephen Hawking told the BBC last December that: “It would take off on its own, and re-design itself at an ever increasing rate, while humans, who are limited by slow biological evolution, couldn’t compete, and would be replaced.”Hawking’s worry agreed with that of Tesla and SpaceX boss Elon Musk, who said in last October at an MIT conference that “we should be very careful about artificial intelligence. I’m increasingly inclined (倾向于) to think that there should be some regulatory oversight (监管), maybe at the national and international level, just to ensure we don’t do something very foolish,” Mus k said.32.Two movies are mentioned in the first paragraph in order to show.A.the popularity of AI around the worldB. the development ofrobotic technologyC. the wide public concern about AID. people’s increasinginterest in movies33.Andrew McAfee’s attitude towards AI is .A.supportiveB. doubtfulC. cautiousD. disapproving34.Stephen Hawking views AI as a threat to human beings becausehe thinks it would.A.be difficult to controlB. result in natural disastersC. have the earth destroyedD. bring an end to the human race35.The purpose of the passage is to .A.explain how to make AI serve peopleB.give different opinions about developing AIC.introduce the advantages of developing AID.show the possible problems with developing AI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。

安徽省六安第一中学高考英语 阅读理解试题(含答案)

安徽省六安第一中学高考英语阅读理解试题(含答案)一、高中英语阅读理解1.阅读理解Eating red meat is linked to cancer and heart disease, but are the risks big enough to justify giving up juicy burgers and delicious steaks? Probably not, according to researchers who reviewed data from 12 clinical trials involving about 54,000 people. In a series of controversial papers, the researchers argue that the increased health risks tied to red meat are small and uncertain, and that cutting back likely wouldn't be worth it for people who enjoy meat.Those conclusions go against established medical advice. They were swiftly attacked by a group of famous U.S. scientists who took the unusual step of trying to stop the papers from being published until their criticisms were addressed.The new work does not say red or processed meats like hot dogs and bacon are healthy, or that people should eat more of them. The team's reviews of past studies generally support the ties to cancer, heart disease and other bad health outcomes. But the authors say the evidence is weak, and that there's not much certainty meat is really the cause, since other diet and lifestyle factors could be at play.If the latest example of how divisive nutrition research has become, with its uncertainties leaving the door open for conflicting advice. Critics say findings often aren't backed by strong evidence. Defenders counter that nutrition studies can rarely be conclusive because of the difficulty of measuring the effects of any single food, but that methods have improved.Based on their analyses, the researchers said people do not have to cut back for health reasons. But they noted that their own advice is weak, and acknowledged that they didn't consider factors such as animal welfare and the environment. Indeed, the case that meat production is bad for animal welfare and the environment is stronger than the case that it's bad for human health, according to an editorial that accompanies the report.Not all of the report authors agreed with its conclusions. Three of the 14 researchers said they support reducing red and processed meats. A coauthor of one of the reviews is also among those who called for a publication delay.Those who pushed to postpone publication also questioned why certain studies were included in the reviews while others were left out.As for his own diet, Dr. Gordon Guyatt, a member of the international research team that conducted the reviews, said he no longer thinks red or processed meats have significant health risks. But he said he still avoids them out of habit, and for animal welfare and environmental reasons.(1)What is the author's purpose in writing the passage?A.To introduce a new relationship between health and eating red meat.B.To urge more people to keep away from eating red meat regularly.C.To present a new controversial view on impacts of eating red meat.D.To criticize nutrition studies for lacking of conclusive evidence.(2)What is the author's attitude towards the new research?A.Doubtful.B.Positive.C.Disapproving.D.Objective.(3)Guyatt's avoiding red meats has the weakest connection with_______.A.health risksB.diet habitsC.animal welfareD.environmental protection(4)What can we learn from the recent research?A.Red meats don't have significant health risks.B.Reducing meat consumption will be worth it.C.The report authors have reached a consensus.D.Consuming red meat will do good to health.【答案】(1)C(2)D(3)A(4)A【解析】【分析】本文是一篇议论文,作者对于吃红肉是否与癌症和心脏病有关引用了研究发现、结果、例子等客观数据和事实来写这篇文章。

E-mail is a valuable tool for college students at any level. It’s available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and even at holidays. Most universities assign students an account(户头) upon entrance.You can do everything from getting information or advice on homework and projects, keeping in touch with classmates, exchanging letters with family and friends, and getting daily news services to keep you posted on world events. But, what are the disadvantages?E-mail can be e-jail (prison). You might spend hours writing and replying to e-mails when you should be hitting the books for an upcoming exam. Or, you might be signed up for so many daily services, such as horoscopes(星座), news services, or personals, that your mailbox is so filled up with “junk mail”, that finding the important e-mails through your mail-box might take hours.If you’re a student, time is limited and valuable. Create andorganize your e-mail folders into important school-related mail, correspondence (通信联系) with friends and family, and a mixed folder for jokes, horoscopes, and other news services. Always put the mail into the right and proper folders first, and when you’ve finished, head for the important school-related folder first. Reply to the most important e-mails first and, if you have time, you can get to the others.Try to stop your friends from sending those troublesome joke lists, sex quizzes, and chain e-mails. The minute you realize you’ve got one, delete it immediately so you won’t be attracted to read it.56. The underlined part ‘be hitting the books’ in the third paragraph can be replaced by ______.A. be fond of booksB. be writing booksC. be studying hardD. be asking for advice57. Which of the following statements is NOT mentioned in this passage?A. Students get an e-mail account upon their entrance to universities.B. It is necessary to put your e-mail into different and proper folders.C. Delete those troublesome e-mails from your friends or some companies.D. There are many advertisements in every e-mail folder.58. The best title of this passage should be ____.A. The Advantage of E-mailB. The Disadvantage of E-mailC. How to Create FolderD. E-mail or E-jailBJersey City, New Jersey, Nov.10An underworld leader Galatro and three bodyguards were gunned down Thursday by unknown attackers after a short gunbattle.Galatro and two of the bodyguards died immediately, the police said, while the third body-guard remains in serious condition atMargaret Haig Hospital.The only eyewitness(目击者) told the police the three or four gunmen were dressed in overalls and hard hats like building workers. One pulled a light machine gun out of a bag and sprayed the four with bullets, the witness said. The other gunmen fired handguns.Three of the men fell immediately, but one of the bodyguards managed to pull his handgun and returned the fire before being shot himself, the witness said.The gunmen then jumped into a black car and drove off. Police said the car was later found in Stegmen Street.Police sources said the 48-year-old Galatro was the leader of a new crime syndicate (犯罪团伙), challenging the city gansters(暴徒) for control of the city. The city gangsters decided to get rid of him. Killers were brought in from outside the state to do the job.Police are now waiting to question the surviving bodyguard when he came back to life.Galatro had a long police record with his first arrest when he was 14 years old.He served a total of 17 years in prison for different crimes, from illegal possession of guns to armed robbery.59.

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 preferblue.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 relaxing 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.64.Which of the following colors belong to cool colors?A. Yellow, greenB. Blue, violetC. Black, blue.D. Brown, white65. 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.66. 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 studies67. What is the main idea of the last paragraph?A.It shows the reason why people think some colors are warm and others are coolB.Warm colors remind people of warm days.C.Cool colors remindpeople of cool days.D.People have an agreeable opinion of warm colors and cool colors.DDisposing(处理) of waste has been a problem since humans started producing it. As more and more people choose to live close together in cities, the waste-disposal problem becomes increasingly difficult.During the eighteenth century, it was usual for several neighboring towns to get together to select a far-away spot as a dump site. Residents or trash haulers(垃圾拖运者) would transport household rubbish, rotted wood, and old possessions to the site. Periodically(定期的) some of the trash was burned and the rest was buried. The unpleasant sights and smells caused no problem because nobody lived close by.Factories, mills, and other industrial sites also had waste to be disposed of. Those located on rivers often just dumped the unwanted remains into the water. Others built huge burners with chimneys to deal with the problem.Several facts make these choices unacceptable to modern society. The first problem is space. Dumps, which are now called landfills, are most needed in heavily populated areas. Such areas rarely have empty land suitable for this purpose. Property is either too expensive or too close to residential neighborhoods. Long-distance trash hauling has been a common practice, but once farm areas are refusing to accept rubbish from elsewhere, cheap land within trucking distance of major city areas is almost nonexistent.Awareness of pollution dangers has resulted in more strict rules of waste disposal. Pollution of river, ground water, land and air is a price people can no longer pay to get rid of waste. The amount of waste, however, continues to grow.Recycling efforts have become commonplace, and many towns require their people to take part. Even the most efficient recycling programs, however, can hope to deal with only about 50 percent of a city’s reusable waste.68.The most suitable title for this passage would be “__________.”A. Places for Disposing WasteB. Waste Pollution DangersC. Ways of Getting Rid of WasteD. Waste Disposal Problem69. During the 18th century, people disposed their waste in many ways except that__________.A. burying itB. recycling itC. burning itD. throwing it into rivers70. What can be inferred from the fourth paragraph?A.Farm areas accept waste from the city in modern society.B.There is cheap land to bury waste in modern society.C.It is difficult to find space to bury waste in modern society.D.Ways to deal with waste in modern society stay the same.71.The main purpose of writing this article is to_______.A.draw people’s attention to waste managementB.warn people of the pollution dangers we are facingC.call on people to take part in recycling programsD.tell people a better way to get rid of the wasteEAn 18th-century statesman Edmund Burke once said, “All that is needed for the success of a misguided cause is that good people do nothing.” One such cause now seeks to end biomedical research because of the theory that animals have rights to decide whether to be used in research.Scientists need to respond forcefully to animal rights advocates(鼓吹者), whose arguments are puzzling the public and threatening advances in health knowledge and care. Leaders of the animal rights movement attack biomedical research because it depends on public funding, and few people understand the process of health care research. Hearing false reports of cruelty to animals in research settings, many are puzzled that anyone would harm an animal on purpose.For example, a grandmotherly woman setting up an animal rights booth at a recent street fair was giving out sheets that encouraged readers not to use anything that comes from or is tested in animals-no meat, no fur, no medicines. Asked what will happen when epidemics(传染病) return, she said. “Don’t worry, scientists will find some way of using computers.” Such well-meaning people just don’t understand.Scientists must communicate their message to the public in an understandable way-in human terms, not in the language of biology. We need to make clear the connection between animal research and a grandmother’s organ replacement, a father’s bypass operation, a baby’s vaccinations(接种疫苗), and even a pet’s shots. To those who know nothing about the animal research that was needed to produce these treatments, as well as new treatments and vaccines, animal research seems wasteful at best and cruel at worst.Much can be done. Scientists could give middle school lessons and present their own research. They should be quick to respond to letters to the editor, in case animal rights misinformation goes unchallenged and gains a false appearance of truth. Research institutions could be opened to tours, to show that laboratory animals receive humane care. Finally, because there are a lot of patients, the health research community should actively admit to its cause not only well-known personalities such as Stephen Cooper, who has made courageous statements about the value ofanimal research, but all who receive medical treatment. If good people do nothing, there is a real possibility that uninformed citizens will wipe out the precious of medical progress.72.The purpose of the author beginning his article with Edmund Burke’s words is to _____.A.call on scientists to take some actions B.argue against the cause of animal rightsC.warn of the failure of biomedical researchD.show the success of the animal rights movement73.In the eyes of the author, misguided people are likely to think that using an animal in research is ___________.A.cruel but necessary B.justice but unnecessary C.meaningful and wasteful D.inhuman and unacceptable 74.What can be inferred from the passage?A.People care very little about returns of epidemics.B.The public lacks knowledge of biomedical science.C.Stephen Cooper is very seriously concerned about animal treatment.D.Scientists should make efforts to develop new cures by means of hi-tech.75.The underlined word “threatening” in paragraph 1 means__________.A.doing a favour to B.drawing attention toC.causing a danger to D.making their way toV、短文改错 10%An old saying holds that the most women are76.___________________dissatisfied with that they see in the mirror.
