The subject of what separates art and design has been debated for a long time. Artists and designers both create visual works using a/an 1 knowledge background, but their reasons for doing so are 2 different. Some designers consider themselves artists, but few artists consider themselves 3 .So what exactly is the difference between art and design? Perhaps the most fundamental difference that we can all agree on is their 4 . Typically, the process of creating a work of art starts with nothing, a blank sheet of paper. A 5 of art is born from a view or value that the artist holds within himself or herself. They create the art to share that feeling with others, to 6the viewers to relate to it, learn from it or be 7 by it. The most renowned and successful art today is something that establishes the strongest 8 connection between the artist and their9 .By contrast, when a designer sets out to 10 a new piece, they almost always have a11 starting point, whether a message, an image, an idea or an action. The designer’s job isn’t to invent something 12 , but to communicate something that already exists, for a purpose. That purpose is almost always to motivate the audience to do something: buy a product, use a13 , visit a location, or learn certain information. The most 14 designs are those that most effectively 15 their message and motivate their consumers to carry out a task.1. A. unique B. separate C. shared D. accepted2.

The aim of the sport is to navigate(导航) between checkpoints marked on a special orienteering map.There is no set route so the skill and fun comefrom trying to find the best way to go,with the ultimate goal being to complete the course in the quickest time.As someone who is used to the convenience of using my phone for navigation, the idea of relying on a traditional map-and-compass approach felt daunting.However, once I got into the swing of things – and learned to hold a map the correct way –the excitement of navigating from one checkpoint to the next quickly got me moving.The unpredictable nature of the race and not knowing the whereabouts of other competitors, really does keep the rush of excitement flowing. You have no idea where you are going or what you are going to see until you pick up the map.I think the sport taking place in an open field of play is really exciting for people to watch. People can stand and watch athletes running across their doorstep. Different athletes will be following different routes. It’s never like a marathon where you might see one athlete a minute ahead in front and you know they are going to win.For orienteering to grow as a sport, it needs greater visibility in top class events. A distant past argument is that it is not an audience-friendly sport, but modern technology now shakes that belief. With the use of mobile phones, drones and body cameras,orienteering can be enjoyed by a much wider audience.24. Why does the author mention Kris Jones in paragraph1?A. To prove orienteering is very popular.B. To show the sport is physically demanding.C. To introduce the achievement of the athlete.D. To emphasise the benefits of taking up orienteering.25. What does the underlined word “daunting” in paragraph 3 mean?A. Challenging.B. Familiar.C. Exciting.D. Convenient.26. What makes orienteering different from a marathon to the audience?A. The phone for navigation.B. The uncertainty of the result.C. The set routine through a city.D. The visibility of runners ’ positions.27. What does the last paragraph imply?A. The running routes should be designed to vary.B. Orienteering is bound to be a world-class event.C. Orienteering is actually an audience-friendly sport.D. Technology can be adopted to popularize the game.CMany cities around the world get more rain than their surroundings.“Just like the way you have an urban heat island, you have an urban rainfall effect,”says Dev Niyogi at the University of Texas at Austin.Niyogi and his colleagues looked at satellite data on rainfall between 2001 and2020 in 1056 cities and nearby rural areas across different climate regions. They found that more than 60 percent of cities were “wet islands”, while some other cities were “dry islands” . For example, Ho Chi Minh City and Sydney were among the wettest anomalies(反常),each with over100millimetres more rainfall than their surroundings per year.Seattle and Rio de Janeiro were among the 10 driest.Cities can boost or reduce rainfall in several ways. Heat absorbed by asphalt (沥青黄沙混合物) and buildings can cause updrafts that help rain clouds to form.The “roughness” of buildings can slow weather systems so they rain over urban areas for longer.Air pollution can seed clouds, although it can also reduce rainfall by cooling the air.Paved surfaces with little vegetation can reduce evaporation, leading to less damp in the air.The influence of these factors varies based on the size and location of cities.The team found larger, more populous cities were more likely to be wet islands.Cities in temperate, tropical and coastal regions tended to have the largest anomalies,while those in mountainous areas generally saw smaller differences.They also found the average difference between wet islands and their surroundings almost doubled over the study period,from 37 to62 millimetres more rainfall per year.Dry anomalies didn’t change. Niyogi says this is because of rapid urbanization combined with warming temperatures due to climate change, which increases the amount of water vapour in the air.Current weather and climate models don’t fully account for the influence of cities on rain. But Niyogi says it may eventually be possible for city planners to consider how their decisions affect rainfall.28. What is “wet island”in the study?A. Rural areas that flood frequently with rains.B. Climate regions along the tropical and coastal areas.C. Cities flooded because of rains in their surroundings.D. Urban areas that saw more rains than their surroundings.29. Which of the following is related to rainfall reduction?A. Asphalt and rough buildings.B. Strong updrafts.C. Paved surface with little vegetation.D. Heated air flow.30. What can be inferred from the research findings?A. Dry anomalies are not easy to change.B. Urban rainfall effects are increasingly serious.C. Mountainous areas do not have rainfall problems.D. Climate change is the main concern in urban rainfall control.31. What is a suitable title for the text?A. Cities are Becoming Victims of Global WarmingB. Development Turns Most Cities into “Wet Islands”C. Country Life Downplays the Harm ofUrban RainfallD. More Rain or Less Rain: It Depends on How Green our Life IsDWho are your best friends on campus? Are they the ones you encountered most often in class? Are they your fellows in drama club or debate society?Something that has to influence whether people become friends is simple physical proximity. And, in fact, the most lasting friendships are developed between people whose paths cross frequently.A number of studies have demonstrated the effects of proximity on who become friends. One was conducted at MIT in the 1940s. The incoming students were randomly assigned to 17 ten-unit apartment buildings that were isolated from other residential areas, and few of them knew one another beforehand.The investigators asked each resident to name the three people in the student housing project with whom they socialized most often. The effect of proximity was striking: two-thirds of those listed as friends lived in the same building as the respondent, even though those in the same building represented only 5 percent of the target residents.More striking still was the pattern of friendships within each building.Even though the physical distance between apartments was quite small—19 feet between the doorways of neighboring apartments and89 feet between those at the ends of each hallway—41 percent of those living in neighboring apartments listed each other as friends, compared with only 10 percent of those living at opposite ends of the hallway.Proximity leads to friendship because it facilitates chance encounters. If so, then pure physical distance should matter less than functional distance—the influence of an architectural layout to encourage or discourage contact between people. The MIT study shows just how important functional distance is. As the following Figure indicates, the stairs are positioned such that upstairs residents will encounter the occupants of apartments at the turn of the stairs much more often than the occupants of the middle apartments. And in fact, the residents of the two stair-end apartment formed twice as many friendships with their upstairs neighbors as those living in the middle apartments.高三英语试卷第 5 页（共10页）Figure of the MIT StudyThus, it’s functional distance more than physical distance that is decisive. Proximity promotes friendship because it brings people together. Actually, in later studies involving more diverse populations, the largest effects of proximity on friendship formation have been found between people of different races, ages, or social classes.32. What can be concluded from the MIT study?A. Friends play an important role in one’s daily life.B. Frequency of encounters decides the living distance.C. People with shared interests are more likely to befriends.D. The more often two people meet, the closer their relationship is.33. What method did the MIT researchers employ in their study?A. Case study.B. Recording analysis.C. In-lab observation.D. Online questionnaire.34. Which apartment’s residents in the Figure above may make most friends in the building?A. Apartment1.B. Apartment 2.C. Apartment 6.D. Apartment 7.35. Why did researchers carry out later studies?A. Previous study results are contradictory.B. Previous study methods lack scientific support.C. The sample in the previous study is not representative.D. The data in the previous study are not up-to-date enough.第二节七选五（共5 小题；每小题2.5 分，满分12.5 分。

Valid student ID.BWhen Allen invited me on a camping trip to the mountains, I imagined a wooden cabin overlooking a lake, with a warm fireplace, hot cocoa, and soft beds. But my happy image became a nightmare when Allen and his older brother, Leo, showed up with a truck filled with camping equipment—tents, sleeping bags, and water bottles, We were going on survival training!The ever-efficient Leo was keen to leave the city behind us and urged us to hurry. Several hours later, as we drove through the forest, the mountains seemed bigger than I remembered; the trees were larger, and the environment felt more threatening.At the trailhead, Leo tied a sleeping bag onto my already heavy pack and lecturedAllen and me about hiking rules. Then, with Leo in the lead, we set off along the narrow and steep dirt track that wound up the mountain.After 6 hours of climbing, we finally reached the top. My legs aching, I dropped my pack and groaned but there was no time to rest. "We need to set up camp quickly," said Leo." There are dark clouds coming in. A storms on its way."I thought he was kidding, but Leo was quite serious. He and Allen worked expertly, while I stood around and pretended to help, thunder rumbling in the distance. We just finished putting up the tents when it hit. The wind, thunder, and lightning were relentless.Leo, sensing that I was scared, started telling us some stories about his camping adventures. But each time lightning lit up the tent and the thunder echoed, I jumped. "Don't worry. Summer storms pass quickly," Leo said trying to comfort me. "And at least the rain will keep the bears away," he said with a teasing smile, which was less comforting.And just as quickly as the storm came rushing in, it passed, and we exited the tent. The view was incredible — I could see for miles. As darkness set in, I stared in wonder at the millions of glowing stars in the night sky.I won't lie — I was still wishing for a hpt shower and a soft bed, but as I gazed upward at the Milky Way, I knew this was an adventure I would never forget.24.

It was almost night time.B. The weather was changing.C. They were tired and needed to rest.D. They needed protections from animals.26. What can we guess about Leo?A. He was an experienced and capable hiker.B. He was inconsiderate of other's feelings.C. He had known the writer for a long time.D. He had not been to this mountain before.27. How did the author feel at the end of the story?A. Satisfied.B. Optimistic.C. Scared.D. Disappointed.CSleep, considered a luxury by many, is essential for a person's wellbeing. Researchers have found that insufficient sleep and tiredness increase a person's risk of developing severe medical conditions, such as obesity (being very overweight), high blood sugar levels, and heart disease. Now, a new study has found that getting sufficient sleep is also the key to improving academic performance.Jeffrey Gross, the university science professor who led the research, was not trying to find the relationship between sleep and grades when he handed out smart watches to the 100 students in his chemistry class. Instead, the professor hoped the wrist-worm devices, which track a person's physical activity, would show a connection between exercise and academic achievement.While Gross's data showed no relationship between these two factors, the study found something surprising. As the researchers were analyzing their data, they noticed that there was a straight-line relationship between the average amount of sleep a student got and their results in the course's 11 quizzes, three midterm tests, and the final exam.Even more interesting, it was not sufficient for students to just head to bed early the night before a test. Instead, it's the sleep you get during the days when learning is happening that matters most.The time students went to bed each night was similarly important. Those who went to bed in early hours of the morning performed poorly, even if the total sleep time was the same as a higher-performing student. "When you go to bed matters," Gross says, "If you go to bed at 10, or 12, or 1 at night, and sleep for seven hours, your performance is the same. But if you go to bed after 2, your performance starts to go down even if you get the same seven hours. So, quantity isn't everything."Perhaps the most interesting was the huge impact that small differences in sleep patterns had on the students' grades. The overall course grades for students averaging six and a half hours of sleep each night were 25% lower than students who averaged just one hour more sleep. Similarly, students who varied their bedtime by even one hour each night had grades that dropped 45% below those with more regular bedtimes.Who knew getting A's just required some extra ZZZ's?28. Based on his original objectives, which best describes Professor Gross's research findings?A. Accidental.B. Complete.C. Convincing.D. Doubtful.29. Who were the people taking part in the study?A. Middle school chemistry students.B. Volunteers from different universities.C. Professor Gross's own students.D. University student athletes.30. How did Professor Gross's team measure academic performance?A. Making the students wear a special watch.B. Using students' university entrance test results.C. Giving the students regular after class quizzes.D. Using the students' normal test and quiz grades.31. Based on the study's findings, who is likely to perform best academically.A. A person who has a good night's sleep the night before an important test.B. A person whose normal bedtime varies between 9 p.m. and 12 p.m.C. A person who sleeps from 11 p.m. to 6 a.m. each day.D. A person who sleeps for a total of 7 hours each night.DHow affordable is high culture? One great myth of our time is that tickets for opera, theatre, ballet and orchestral (管弦乐) concerts are too expensive, especially for the young. This is infuriating as, in Britain, at least, the claim is ridiculous and offensive. The cheap tickets to hear London's orchestras range from ￡7 to ￡9 — same as a cinema ticket, and lower than the entry price to many pop music and comedy clubs. For comparison, when the Los Angeles Philharmonic Orchestra performs with top soloists and conductors the cheapest seat is ￡30; and at the Berlin Philharmonic, it's an expensive ￡46.Finding cheap tickets to the opera and ballet isn't so easy. True. British companies don't charge the ridiculous high prices found on the Continent (￡2,000 for a good seat at a premiere of La Scala's Carmen last December), but the tickets are still pretty steep. Large fees paid to star performers mostly account for that. Luckily, however, one spectacular techmological innovation has transformed thescene. It's live (or slightly delayed) cinema transmissions. The New York Metropolitan Opera now beams its shows to 800 cinemas round the world, and British companies aren't far behind. Cinematic opera is excellent value. For the cost of a good bottle of wine (￡10 or ￡15 for the Royal Opera House's shows) you can sit in your local movie-house and see a high-definition relay of what's occurring on the world's grandest stages. No, it's not the same as being there, but it's almost as good. The sound is incredible. The images, particularly of dancers, are fantastic. And you can react to the show as part of a live audience, rather than sitting on your own at home.To me, this mountain of evidence, together with free museum admissions, indicates that the arts world should stop worrying that its audiences are still mostly middle-class. Anyone who can afford to visit a pub can also afford to see top-quality drama, music and dance. The real battle now should be ensuring that school children are given enough tastes of high culture to make them want to buy all those cheap tickets when they grow up.32. What does the underlined word "infuriating" in paragraph 1 mean?A. Quite interesting.B. Very annoying.C. Not certain.D. Extremely obvious.33. What is the main reason for expensive opera tickets?A. The amount of money charged by top performers.B. The costly technology required for broadcast.C. The demand of companies for big profits.D. The high cost of renting the stages.34. Which of the follow ing is true about cinematic opera?A. People can decide where to watch the opera.B Audiences are discouraged from responding to The performances.C. It provides an inexpensive way of enjoying a live opera performance.D. The sound and visual quality are superior to the live performance.35. Which statement would the author agree with?A. The quality of opera performances is improving.B. High culture is becoming more affordable in Europe.C. The cost of access to high culture activities should be lowered.D. Children should be encouraged to participate in high culture events.弟二节(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，选项中有两项多余。

Summer storms pass quickly,” Leo said, tryin g to comfort me. “And at least the rain will keep the bears away,” he said with a teasing smile, which was less comforting.And just as quickly as the storm came rushing in, it passed, and we exited the tent. The view was incredible —I could see for miles. As darkness set in, I stared in wonder at the millions of stars glowing in the night sky.I wouldn’t lie—I was still wishing for a hot shower and a soft bed, but as I gazed upward at the Milky Way, I knew this was an adventure I would never forget.24.Why did the author think his happy image became a nightmare?A. Allen had arrived earlier than arranged.B. He saw that Allen was not well prepared.C. He realized their trip would be challenging.D. Allen’s brother was unexpectedly with him.25.Why was it necessary to set up camp immediately after reaching the mountain top?A. It was almost night time.B. The weather was changing.C. They were tired and needed to rest.D. They needed protection from animals.26.What can we know about Leo?A. He is an experienced and capable hiker.B. He is inconsiderate.C. He had known the author for a long time.D. He had not been to this mountain before.27.How did the author feel at the end of the story?A. Tired.B. Optimistic.C. Scared.D. Disappointed.CSleep, considered a luxu ry by many, is essential for a person’s well-being. Researchers have found that insufficient sleep and tiredness increase a person’s risk of developing severe medical conditions, such as obesity (肥胖症), high blood sugar levels, and heart disease. Now, a new study has found that getting sufficient sleep is also the key to improving academic performance.Jeffrey Gross, the university science professor who led the research, was not trying to find the relationshipbetween sleep and grades when he handed out smartwatches to the 100 students in his chemistry class. Instead, the professor hoped the wrist-worn devic es, which track a person’s physical activity, would show a connection between exercise and academic achievements.While Gross’s data showed no relationshi p between these two factors, the study found something surprising. As the researchers were analyzing their data, they noticed that there was a linear (线性的) relationship between the average amount of sleep the students got and their results in the course’s 11 quizzes, three midterm tests, and the final exam.Even more interesting, it was not sufficient for students to just head to bed early the night before a test. Instead, it’s the sleep you get during the days when learning is happening that matters most.When students went to bed each night was similarly important. Those who went to bed in the early hours of the morning performed poorly, even if the total sleep time was the same as a higher-performing student. “When you go to bed matters,” Gross says.“If you go to bed at 10, or 12, or 1 at night, and sleep for seven hours, your performance is the same. But if you go to bed after 2, your performance starts to go down even if you get the same seven hours’ sleep. So, quantity isn’t everything.”Perhaps the mo st interesting was the huge impact that small differences in sleep patterns had on the students’ grades. The overall course grades of students averaging six and a half hours of sleep each night were 25% lower than students who averaged just one hour more sleep. Similarly, students who varied their bedtime by even one hour each night had grades that dropped 45% below those with more regular bedtime.Who knew getting straight A’s just required some extra sleep?28.Based on his original objective, which best d escribes Professor Gross’s research findings?A. Accidental.B. Complete.C. Convincing.D. Doubtful.29.Who were the people taking part in the study?A. Middle school chemistry students.B. Volunteers from different universities.C. Professor Gross’s own students.D. University student athletes.30.How did Professor Gross’s team measure students’ academic performance ?A. Making the students wear special watches.B. Using students’ university entrance test results.C. Giving the students regular quizzes after class.D. Using the students’ normal test and quiz grades.31.Based on the study’s findings, who is likely to perform best academically?A. A student who has a good night’s sleep the night before an important test.B. A student whose normal bedtime varies between 9 p.m. and 12 p.m.C. A student who sleeps from 11 p.m. to 6 a.m. each day.D. A student who sleeps for a total of 7 hours each night.DHow affordable is high culture? One great myth (错误观念) of our time is that tickets for opera, theatre, ballets and orchestral (管弦乐的) concerts are too expensive, especially for the young. This is infuriating as, in Britain, at least, the claim is ridiculous and offensive. The cheap tickets to hear London’s orchestras range from ￡7 to ￡9—the same as a cinema ticket, and lower than the entry price to many pop music and comedy clubs. For comparison, when the Los Angeles Philharmonic performs with top soloists and conductors the cheapest seat is ￡30; and at the Berlin Philharmonic it’s an expensive ￡46.Finding cheap tickets to the opera and ballet isn’t so easy. Actually, British companies don’t charge the ridiculously high prices found on the Continent (￡2,000 for a good seat at the premiere of La Scala’s Carmen last December), but the tickets are still pretty steep. Large fees paid to star performers mostly account for that. Luckily, however, one spectacular technological innovation has transformed the scene. It’s live cinema transmissions (节目播送). The Metropolitan Opera in New York now beams its shows to 800 cinemas round the world, and British companies aren’t far behind. Cinematic opera is excellent value. For the cost of a good bottle of wine (￡10 or ￡15 for the Royal Opera House’s shows), you can sit in your local movie house and see a high-definition relay of what’s occurring on the world’s grandest stages. No, it’s not the same as being there, but it’s almost as good. The sound is incredible. The images of dancers are fantastic. And you can react to the show as part of a live audience, rather than sitting on your own at home.To me, a mountain of evidence, together with free museum admission, indicates that the arts world should stop worrying that its audiences are still mostly middle-class. Anyone who can afford to visit a pub can also afford to see top-quality drama, music and dance. The real battle now should be ensuring that schoolchildren are given enough tastes of high culture to make them want to buy all those cheap tickets when they grow up.32.What does the underlined word “infuriating” in paragraph 1 mean?A. Quite interesting.B. Very annoying.C. Not certain.D. Extremely obvious.33.What is the main reason for expensive opera tickets?A. The amount of money charged by top performers.B. The costly technology required for broadcasting.C. The demand of companies for big profits.D. The high cost of renting the stages.34.Which of the following is true about cinematic opera?A. People can decide where to watch the opera.B. Audiences are discouraged from responding to the performances.C. It provides an inexpensive way of enjoying a live opera performance.D. The sound and visual quality are superior to the live performance.35.Which statement would the author agree with?A. The quality of opera performances is improving.B. High culture is becoming more affordable in Europe.C. The cost of access to high culture activities should be lowered.D. Children should be encouraged to participate in high culture events.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。

2022届广州市高三年级调研考试英语试题【精品解析】第二部分阅读(共两节,满分50分)第一节(共15小题;每小题2.5分,满分37.5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。
AEntering adulthood is an important step in everyone's life. It means that a young person must soon leave childishness behind and start to shoulder grown-up responsibilities.In Germany, “Jugendfeier” is a coming-of-age ceremony for 14-year-olds. They go to school to prepare for the occasion, studying topics, such as cultural respect and social responsibility, which will help them become worthy citizens. The hope is that the young people taking part in the ceremony will take on these values for themselves.In Latin America, “quinceanera” is a celebration for girls on their 15th birthday, marking a girl’s entry into womanhood. In the past, “quinceanera” was intended to ready girls for marriage and they were taught cooking, sewing, and other household skills in preparation. Today, it's similar to how one's 18th birthday is considered an important day in other cultures.In India, the sacred thread ceremony is performed when a boy is grown-up. He is given three sacred threads representing three promises he makes: to respect knowledge, to respect his parents and to respect society. After the ceremony, the child, traditionally, leaves his family to live with a Guru(teacher). At this point the boy becomes "twice-born"---first his physical birth, and second his intellectual birth through a teacher's care.In Vanuatu, young boys come of age by jumping off a 98-foot-tall tower with a bungee-like rope tied to their ankles, just barely preventing them from hitting the ground. At the ceremony, the diver's mother will hold something representing his childhood, and after the jump the item will be thrown away, representing the end of childhood. He is now a man, ready to protect the family21. What is the shared expectation of the four coming-of-age ceremonies?A. Having respect for knowledgeB. Getting ready to raise a familyC Acquiring cross-cultural awarenessD. Developing a sense of responsibility22. Which app might appeal to people entering adulthood in Germany?A. B. C. D.23. In which place are things with special meanings given to the young attendants?A. Germany.B. Latin AmericaC. IndiaD. Vanuatu.A 篇本篇是一篇以成人礼为主题的应用文21-23: DAC21. 答案为D，主旨题。

She rummaged around in her backpack for a rubber band, and then she pulled her hair into a thick ponytail. Paloma looked at the computer screen. It was still blank. She sighed and flipped through her notebook to reread the assignment Mr. Molina had given the class three weeks ago. It was due in just two days, and Paloma knew that she couldn’t procrastinate any longer.Write a creative short story using an experience that you have had recently, Paloma read. Your story should include two examples of figurative language.Paloma and her family had recently taken a trip along North Carolina’s coast. They had visited four different lighthouses, and Paloma wondered what it would be like to live in a lighthouse. She knew that before lighthouses were automated, they were run by a lighthouse keeper who lived on the premises. Paloma thought she’d love to be a lighthouse keeper. Without thinking about it any longer, Paloma began to write the story.I sat with my cat Sadie curled on my lap and looked out the window at the crashing waves. The heavy rain beat against my lighthouse like a thousand footsteps racing up and down the walls. I held Sadie closer, and she let out a small meow of displeasure. I knew that the coming storm could not be too dangerous if Sadie was still acting normally. I had read that animals can sense changes in weather and will seek shelter from a tornado or hurricane. I was relying on Sadie’s calmness to get me through my first hurricane on the island.I knew that my lighthouse was sturdily built. It had survived more than one hundred years’ worth of hurricanes and tropical storms. There was no reason to believe that it couldn’t survive another. I looked up at the staircase that spiraled above me and worried as I felt the tower sway slightly in a gust of wind.Paloma stopped and reread what she had just written. She smiled to herself in delight, saved her story, and then settled into her chair to continue writing. She wasn’t sure what was going to happen next, but she knew that if she kept going, the story would continue to tell itself. Paloma couldn’t wait to find out where it would take her.24. Why is Paloma feeling anxious at the beginning of the passage?A. She hasn’t much time left to do her writing task.B. She doesn’t know the details of her writing task.C. She has completely forgotten about her writing task.D. She doesn’t know what is wrong with her computer.25. What is the inspiration for Paloma’s story idea?A. Her cat.B. Her teacher.C. Her trip.D. Her dream.26. In Paloma’s story, how does the lighthouse keeper decide if the storm is dangerous?A. By listening to the weather report.B. By watching the crashing waves.C. By observing the cat’s behaviour.D. By measuring the movement of the lighthouse.27. As described in the final paragraph, how does Paloma feel after she has written the first part ofher story?A. Confused.B. Excited.C. Relieved.D. Determined.CFor many years, Bruce Bexler dreamed of going where no human had gone before. He wanted to cut a path through unexplored lands and discover rare, exotic species.That might sound like an impossible dream, but Bexler turned it into a reality.In December 2021, he and a team of Australian and American scientists ventured into an isolated tropical rain forest on the island of New Guinea. They were the first people ever to enter the mist-covered region. “As time was limited, we were dropped in by helicopter. Once we were on the ground, there were no trails anywhere; it was really hard to get around,” Be xler says.Within minutes of landing, the team spotted a black chicken-like bird with strange orange skin hanging from its neck. The scientists soon determined that the unusual creature was a type of honeyeater — the first new bird species to be sighted on New Guinea in 60 years.The honeyeater wasn’t the only surprise for the scientists. They discovered more than 40 previously unknown plant and animal species —13 birds of paradise, 20 frogs, four butterflies, and five palms. “We were like kids in a candy store,” Be x ler recalls. “Everywhere we looked, we saw amazing things we had never seen before.”The newfound species didn’t s hy away from the scientists. Two long-nosed echidnas — primitive egg-laying mammals — let the visitors pick them up and take them back to camp to study them. An echidna looks like a hedgehog and is also called a spiny anteater.Bexler thinks the animals we ren’t scared because they had never seen humans before. “In almost all parts of New Guinea, animals are hunted for food, and because of this, they are very cautious of people,” he explains. “This area gives scientists a place where they can go to study the behaviours of animals that have not yet learned to be afraid of people.”Scientists believe the area is probably the largest untouched forest in Asia. Local people called Kwerba hunt and collect plants from the outer-edges of the forest but told Bexler that not even their ancestors had gone so far into the woods. The wooded area is approximately a 10-day walk from the nearest village.Bexler and his team did not have enough time during the expedition to study the area completely. They hope to return and ex pect to record many more undiscovered species. “We just scratched the surface,” Be x ler says. “Anyone who goes there will come back with a mystery.”28. Which word best describes Bruce Bexler?A. Adventurous.B. Cautious.C. Optimistic.D.Thorough.29. What does Bruce Bexler mean in Paragraph 5 when he says the scientists “were like kids in a candy store”?A. They didn’t have enough food and were hungry.B. They were very excited about what they saw.C. They were misbehaving like naughty children.D. They knew that if they kept searching, they’d find sugar.30. Why did some of the animals allow the scientists to pick them up?A. The scientists seemed to be very friendly.B. The scientists were skilled in handling animals.C. The animals had been well-trained by the local people.D. The animals had no experience or fear of people.31. What can we conclude about the area Bruce Bexler explored?A. The best way to explore the area is by helicopter.B. The area has not been visited by scientists for many years.C. The area still contains many plants and animals unknown to science.D. The locals are unwilling to allow the scientists to enter the deep woods.DPetrol and diesel cars may still dominate our roads, but their days are numbered. A recent university study found that current electric cars could be used for 87 per cent of daily car journeys in the US. That figure could rise to 98 per cent by 2022.One hurdle to the widespread adoption of electric cars has been ‘range anxiety’—drivers’ concerns about running out of juice on a journey. While petrol stations are conveniently located across national road systems, the necessary network of electric charging stations is still being developed. That said, charging points are becoming increasingly common throughout the USA.Attitudes towards electric vehicles have changed quite considerably over the last few years. Not that long ago, electric cars were met with distrust, and their large price tags drove customers away. Thanks to improvements in battery capacity, recharging times, performance and price, the current generation of electric cars are starting to persuade critics. Plug-in cars will soon give internal combustion engine models a run for their money.As well as advancements on the road, electric vehicles are taking to the seas and skies. Electric boats are among the oldest methods of electric travel, having enjoyed several decades of popularity from the late 19th to the early 20th century before petrol-powered outboard motors took over. Now, the global drive for renewable energy sources is bringing electric boats back. Steps towards electric air travel are also being made, with Airbus and NASA among the organisations developing and testing battery powered planes. The experiments could soon make commercial electric flight a reality.Electric vehicles do not produce any emissions. Were the US to act on the study’s findings and replace 87 per cent of its cars with electric vehicles, it would reduce the national demand for petrol by 61 per cent. However, because of the production processes and the generation of electricity required to charge these vehicles, they cannot claim to be completely emission-free. That said, as many countries continue to increase their use of renewable energy sources, electric vehicles will become even cleaner.32. Which is the best title for this passage?A. My Dream CarB. History of Electric CarsC. Problems with Petrol CarsD. Driving into the Future33. As used in Paragraph 2, the underlined word “hurdle” means _______.A. aimB. barrierC. consequenceD. step34. In the past, why did many people refuse to buy the electric cars?A. They were not good value.B. They were very poorly made.C. They were not widely promoted.D. They couldn’t travel at a high speed.35. What is the function of Paragraph 4?A. To introduce the history of electric travel.B. To explain why the world needs more electric cars.C. To show why more people have interest in electric cars.D. To describe different ways electric vehicles can be used.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。

Valid student ID card.BWhen Allen invited me on a camping trip to the mountains, I imagined a wooden cabin overlooking a lake, with a warm fireplace, hot cocoa, and soft beds. But my happy image became a nightmare when Allen and his older brother, Leo, showed up with a truck filled with camping equipments --- tents, sleeping bags, and water bottles. We were going on survival training!The ever-efficient Leo was keen to leave the city behind us and urges us to hurry. Several hours later, as we drove through the forest, the mountains seemed bigger than I remembered; the trees were larger, and the environment felt more threatening.At the trailhead, Leo tied a sleeping bag onto my already heavy pack and lectured Allen and me about hiking rules. Then, with Leo in the lead, we set off along the narrow and steep dirt track that wound up the mountain.After 6 hours of climbing, we finally reached the top. My legs aching, I dropped my pack and groaned but there was no time to rest. “We need to set up camp quickly,” said Leo. “There are dark clouds coming in. A storm’s on its way.”I thought he was kidding, but Leo was quite serious. He and Allen worked expertly, while I stood around and pretended to help, thunder rumbling in the distance. We just finished putting up the tents when it hit. The wind, thunder, and lightning were relentless.Leo, sensing that I was scared, started telling us some stories about his camping adventures. But each time lightning lit up the tent and the thunder echoed, I jumped. “Don’t worry. Summer storms pass quickly,”Leo said trying to comfort me. “And at least the rain will keep the bears away,” he said with a teasing smile, which was less comforting.And just as quickly as the storm came rushing in, it passed, and we exited the tent. The view was incredible --- I could see for miles. As darkness set in, I stared in wonder at the millions of glowing stars in the night sky.I won’t lie --- I was still wishing for a hot shower and a soft bed, but as I gazed upward at the Milky Way, I knew this was an adventure I would never forget.24.Why was the author surprised when Allen came to get him at the beginning of the story?A.Allen had arrived earlier than arranged.B.He saw that Allen was not well prepared.C.He realized their trip would be challenging.D.Allen’s brother was unexpectedly with him.25.Why was it necessary to set up camp immediately after reaching the mountain top?A.It was almost night time.B.The weather was changing.C.They were tired and needed to rest.D.They needed protection from animals.26.What can we guess about Leo?A.He was an experienced and capable hiker.B.He was inconsiderate of other’s feeling.C.He had known the writer for a long time.D.He had not been to this mountain before.27.How did the author feel at the end of the story?A.Satisfied.B. Optimistic.C. Scared.D. Disappointed.CSleep, considered a luxury by many, is essential for a person’s wellbeing. Researchers have found that insufficient sleep and tiredness increase a person’s risk of developing severe medicalconditions, such as obesity (being very overweight), high blood sugar levels, and heart disease. Now, a new study has found that getting sufficient sleep is also the key to improving academic performance.Jeffrey Gross, the university science professor who led the research, was not trying to find the relationship between sleep and grades when he handed out smartwatches to the 100 students in his chemistry class. Instead, the professor hoped the wrist-worn devices, which track a person’s physical activity, would show a connection between exercise and academic achievement.While Gross’s data showed no relationship between these two factors, the study found something surprising. As the researchers were analyzing their data, they noticed that there was a straight-line relationship between the average amount of sleep a student got and their results in the course’s 11 quizzes, three midterm tests, and the final exam.Even more interesting, it was not sufficient for students to just head to bed early the night before a test. Instead, it’s the sleep you get during the days when learning is happening that matters most.The time students went to bed each night was similarly important. Those who went to bed in the early hours of the morning performed poorly, even if the total sleep time was the same as a higher-performing student. “When you go to bed matters,” Gross says. “If you go to bed at 10, or 12, or 1 at night, and sleep for seven hours, your performance is the same. But if you go to bed after 2, your performance starts to down even if you get the same seven hours. So, quantity isn’t everything.”Perhaps most interesting was the huge impact that small differences in sleep patterns had on the students’ grades. The overall course grades for students averaging six and a half hours of sleep each night were 25% lower than students who averaged just one hour more sleep. Similarly, students who varied their bedtime by even one hour each night had grades that dropped 45% below those with more regular bedtimes.Who knew getting A’s just required some extra ZZZ’s?28.Based on his original objectives, which best describes Professor Gross’s research findings?A.Accidental.B. Complete.C. Convincing.D. Doubtful.29.Who were the people taking part in the study?A.Middle school chemistry students.B.V olunteers from different universities.C.Professor Gross’s own students.D.University student athletes.30.How did Professor Gross’s team measure academic performance?A.Making the students wear a special watch.ing students’ university entrance test results.C.Giving the students regular after class quizzes.ing the students’ normal test and quiz grades.31.Based on the study’s findings, who is likely to perform best academically?A.A person who has a good night’s sleep the night before an important test.B.A person whose normal bedtime varies between 9 p.m. and 12 p.m.C.A person who sleeps from 11 p.m. to 6 a.m. each day.D.A person who sleeps for a total of 7 hours each night.DHow affordable is high culture? One great myth of our time is that tickets for opera, theatre, ballet and orchestral (管弦乐) concerts are too expensive, especially for the young. This is infuriating as, in Britain, at least, the claim is ridiculous and offensive. The cheap tickets to hear London’s orchestras range from £ 7 to £ 9 --- same as a cinema ticket, and lower than the entry price to many pop music and comedy clubs. For comparison, when the Los Angeles Philharmonic Orchestra performs with top soloists and conductors the cheapest seat is £ 30; and at the Berlin Philharmonic it’s an expensive £ 46.Finding cheap tickets to the opera and ballet isn’t so easy. True, British companies don’t charge the ridiculously high prices found on the Continent (£ 2000 for a good seat at the premiere of La Scala’s Carmen last December), but the tickets are still pretty steep. Large fees paid to star performers mostly account for that. Luckily, however, one spectacular technological innovation has transformed the scene. It’s live (or slightly delayed) cinema transmissions. The New York Metropolitan Opera now beams its shows to 800 cinemas round the world, and British companies aren’t far behind. Cinematic opera is excellent value. For the cost of a good bottle of wine (£ 10 or £15 for the Royal Opera House’s shows) you can sit in your local movie-house and see ahigh-definition relay of what’s occurring on the world’s grandest stages. No, it’s not the same as being there, but it’s almost as good. The sound is incredible. The images, particularly of dancers, are fantastic. And you can react to the show as part of a live audience, rather than sitting on your own at home.To me, this mountain of evidence, together with free museum admissions, indicates that the arts world should stop worrying that its audiences are still mostly middle-class. Anyone who can afford to visit a pub can also afford to see top-quality drama, music and dance. The real battle now should be ensuring that schoolchildren are given enough tastes of high culture to make them want to buy all those cheap tickets when they grow up.32.What does the underlined word “infuriating” in paragraph 1 mean?A.Quite interesting.B. Very annoying.C. Not certain.D. Extremely obvious.33.What is the main reason for expensive opera tickets?A.The amount of money charged by top performers.B.The costly technology required for broadcast.C.The demand of companies for big profits.D.The high cost of renting the stages.34.Which of the following is true about cinematic opera?A.People can decide where to watch the opera.B.Audiences are discouraged from responding to the performances.C.It provides an inexpensive way of enjoying a live opera performance.D.The sound and visual quality are superior to the live performance.35.Which statement would the author agree with?A.The quality of opera performances is improving.B.High culture is becoming more affordable in Europe.C.The cost of access to high culture activities should be lowered.D.Children should be encouraged to participate in high culture events.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）Learning to understand spoken English can be difficult. Learners must not only master newsounds, but also learn conversational idioms. That’s a lot to learn! But they may soon realize there is something else going on. ____36____ These different styles of speaking are called “registers”. In their work, language experts identify three major factors that affect the register of spoken English: the place of the conversation, the relationship of the speakers, and the purpose of the conversation.____37____ Even two best friends who work and live together may speak more formally to each other in the office. At home, one might say, “C’mon, I wanna leave.” The same person at work might say, “Are you ready to go now?”The relationship of the speakers also affects the language they use with each other. People speak less formally to friends and more formally to strangers. ____38____ People who know each other well might use more idioms and more slang in their speech. An angry woman might tell her daughter to “hush your mouth” and her sister to “quiet down”.Finally, the purpose of the conversation affects people’s speech. A person who wants to ease hurt feelings uses a soft, quiet tone. ____39____Few speakers realize that they change registers according to these factors. ____40____ We are not aware that we make these changes. We accept the changeability of the weather, but we often refuse to accept the changeability of speech.A.In fact, most people strongly deny it.B.People generally speak less at work than they do at home.C.The very same person speaks differently in different situations.D.Therefore, we should be careful not to hurt each other with our speech.E.On the other hand, a person who wants to pick a fight speaks rapidly and loudly.F.The place where the conversation takes place directly affects the language of the conversation.G.Becuase they already share information and experience with friends, they do not need to explain as much.第三部分英语知识运用（共两节，满分45分）第一节（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）Have you ever heard someone say that he can’t see the forest for the trees?

2022年-有答案-广东省广州市八区高三(上)调研英语试卷
2022学年广东省广州市八区高三（上）调研英语试卷第一部分阅读理解（共两节，满分31.5分）第一节（共4小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
1. Airplanes are known for "making" people sick. Fortunately, I've got the inside scoop on some practices that will keep you healthy on the plane and a head start on staying healthy during your travels.Start taking immunity support products BEFORE you begin your trip.Immunity support products come in a variety of forms. They are designed to prepare your body for physical stress by loading you up on the vitamins, minerals and antioxidants（抗氧化） that support great immune system functioning.If your body is weak at the beginning of the trip, any germ or bacteria is going to have easy access to your system. Get those defenses in place a few days before travel and give your body the best chance to stay healthy.Antibacterial wipes are your best friend.Take a minute to think about that airplane. How many people are touching literally every surface with hands that have blocked a sneeze, been coughed into, held the handrail of the moving sidewalk?Take along plenty of individually wrapped antibacterial wipes and use them everywhere. Wipe down the armrests, the seat belt buckle, the tray table and the remote control for the in ﹣flight entertainment.Wear slip﹣on shoes.Many articles instruct passengers to wear socks on the airplane for comfort. However, if you walk down the aisle in your socks, or even worse, use the restroom, the bottom of those socks are going to pick up all kinds of dirt. So wear shoes when you move around on the plane! Let your shoes provide a barrier to whatever might be lying on the floor.（1）Why do planes easily make people sick according to the writer？________A. People lack practice to keep fit.B. There are many bacteria on the plane.C. People have too much entertainment during the flight.D. People's immune system fails to work on the plane.．（2）How can we protect ourselves from getting sick on the plane？________A. By wearing socks.B. By stopping feeling stressful.C. By blocking coughing with hands.D. By taking some supportive products.．（3）What's the best title for the passage？________A. Advice on safetyB. A worthwhile tripC. Stay healthy on a flightD. Be careful of your flight．2. When Rachel Ratelle saw a news video of a burned koala trying to climb a tree to safety in fire﹣ravaged（火灾肆虐的）Australia, she decided to do something about it.She looked up wildlife rescue and relief agencies in Australia to find out what they needed most. Besides donations, many organizations asked for hand﹣sewn and knitted pouches （袋子）and wraps for koalas and other animals that were burned or had lost their homes and parents in the fires.This idea attracted Ratelle, but there was just one problem."I'd never sewn in my life, " said Ratelle, 17, a senior at Rancho Buena Vista High School in Vista, US. "Giving money seemed like something too simple. But I wanted to directly help these animals by doing something myself, so I decided to learn how to sew."Over the next few months, Ratelle bought her own sewing machine and taught herself how to sew via videos online. Then she bought 18 yards of fabric and sewed 25 pouches of different sizes and shipped them off to Fir Australian Wildlife Needing Aid（FAWNA）, one of several relief organizations that have rushed to rescuekoalas, kangaroos and other species suffering from bums. A week later, she received a photo from FAWNA with a baby kangaroo in one of her larger pouches. "It made me feel like I contributed to the world and it showed how a simple act of kindness can go a long way, " said Ratelle, who hopes to study biology for a future career as a nurse practitioner."I plan to use my new sewing skills to help animals and people ________ by natural disaster, " she said.Several craft union websites around the world have called for Australian relief by making the animal pouches. Karen Newberry and her two daughters Madison, 12 andRochelle, 8, from San Diego also offered their help in such a way. For Newberry, "It was a big push that made us crafters, sewers realize there's something more we can do than just make things for ourselves, " she said.（1）What do the first two paragraphs mainly talk about？________A. What inspired Ratelle to learn to sew.B. What is needed to save koalas and other species.C. The poor living conditions of wild animals in Australia.D. Different ways to help koalas and other animals in Australia.．（2）How did Ratelle feel when she received a photo from FAWNA？________A. Surprised.B. Calm.C. Proud.D. Moved.．（3）What does the underlined word "devastated" mean？________A. RuinedB. ChallengedC. ReducedD. Abandoned．（4）What do Newberry's words in the last paragraph suggest？________A. People should stay united through difficult times.B. Life is not easy for crafters and sewers in Australia.C. It is challenging for crafters and sewers to do relief work.D. Crafters and sewers can do more to help animals.．3. As spring arrives, farmers around the world are making decisions about what crops to plant and how to manage them. In the U. S., farmers typically have big data to help make these decisions. These data have a clear upside. They make farms more productive. In the U.S., the past five years have seen a series of good harvests for both com and soybean. A big part is generated by effectively using data to produce more food from the same amount of land, seed and fertilizer.In the poorer parts of the world, however, the picture is much different. Many farmers are guided only by their history with the land and their community's traditions. Their skills and knowledge are impressive, but they suffer from a poverty of data. They rely on technical advisors for advice from governments and academic centers who often have very little knowledge of the local area. For seeds and fertilizers and other materials used in thefield, they rely on companies that lack data on how their products will perform in the local conditions.About 10 years ago, East African officials and their development partners started to explore why so few smallholder dairy farmers made profits from growing demand from urban consumers. Surveys of farmers in the region suggested poor access to veterinary（禽畜的）care and breeding assistance. An effort to provide these services has helped farmers get more milk.Data would matter little if farming was easy and the paths to productivity were obvious. But in reality, agriculture is a complex mix of many factors, includingclimate, biology, chemistry, physics, economics and culture﹣all of which vary from region to region. In this situation, good data is necessary.（1）How has big data benefited American's farmers？________A. By informing the farmers to plant crops earlier.B. By helping make farms more productive.C. By increasing the amount of land for farming.D. By producing more seeds and fertilizer.．（2）What do farmers in poor countries need to improve their farming？________A. Farming skills.B. Technical guidance.C. Big data.D. Farming materials．（3）Why does the writer mention the case of East Africa？________A. To show that East Africa relies heavily on diary farming.B. To illustrate cooperation between countries was a great success.C. To serve as an example of how data helps farmers in poor areas.D. To prove that city people in East Africa didn't like drinking milk.．（4）What can we learn from the passage？________A. Many changeable factors have influence on farming.B. East African dairy farmers were experienced in raising cows.C. The American farmers can't decide what they will plant.D. The technical advisors in poor areas know the local areas well.．4. Smile! It makes everyone in the room feel better because they, consciously or unconsciously, are smiling with you. Growing evidence shows that an instinct for facial mimicry（模仿）allows us to experience other people's feelings. If we can't mirror another person's face, it limits our ability to read and properly react to their expressions. A review of this emotional mirroring appears on February 11 in Trends in Cognitive Sciences.In their paper, Paula Niedenthal and Adrienne Wood, social psychologists at the University of Wisconsin, describe how people in social situations copy others' facial expressions to create emotional responses in themselves. For example, if you're with a friend who looks sad, you might "try on" that sad face yourself without realizing you're doing so. In "trying on" your friend's expression, it helps you to recognize what they're feeling by connecting it with times in the past when you made that expression. Humans get this emotional meaning from facial expressions in a matter of only a few hundred milliseconds."You reflect on your emotional feelings and then you produce some sort of recognition judgment, and the most important thing that results in is that you take the appropriate action ﹣you approach the person or you avoid the person, " Niedenthal says. "Your own emotional reaction to the face changes your understanding of how you see the face in such a way that provides you with more information about what it means."A person's ability to recognize and "share" others' emotions can be prevented when they can't mimic faces. This is a common complaint for people with motor diseases, like facial paralysis（瘫痪）from a stroke, or even due to nerve damage from plastic surgery. Niedenthal notes that the same would not be true for people who suffer from birth, because if you've never had the ability to mimic facial expressions, you will have developed another ways of interpreting emotions.People with social disorders associated with mimicry or emotion﹣recognition damage, like autism（自闭症）, can experience similar challenges. "There are some symptoms in autism where lack of facial mimicry may in part be due to limitation of eye contact, " Niedenthal says.Niedenthal next wants to explore what part in the brain is functioning to help with facial expression recognition. A better understanding of that part, she says, will give us a better idea of how to treat related disorders.（1）According to the passage，facial mimicry helps________.A. convey one's own feelings clearlyB. change others' emotions quicklyC. respond to others' expressions properlyD. develop friendship with others easily．（2）Which parts explain how people copy others' facial expressions？________A. Paragraph 1 and 2.B. Paragraph 2 and 3.C. Paragraph 3 and 4.D. Paragraph 4 and 5.．（3）According to Niedenthal， what will be the next focus of the study？________A. When is the best time to treat brain disorders.B. How many kinds of facial expressions people have.C. How our brain helps us with emotional mirroring.D. What part in the brain helps recognize facial expressions.．（4）What is the purpose of writing the passage？________A. To discuss why people like smiling to others.B. To draw people's attention to those with motor diseases.C. To introduce a new trend in facial expression recognition.D. To explain how people mirror others' facial expressions.．第二节（共1小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5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。

She stopped at a traffic light, where a man was sitting with a sign asking for help. She rolled down her window and shouted, “I’m driving around giving free haircuts. Do you want one right now?” The man looked to be in his 60s. He was heavyset, balding, and missing a few teeth. He laughed, then paused. “Actually,” he said, “I have a funeral to go. I was really hoping to get a haircut.”Few minutes later, the man, named Edward, took a seat on a red chair moved down from Steller’s car, and she trimmed his curly graying hair. He told her about growing up in Mississippi, about moving to Minnesota to be closer to his children, and how he still often phoned his mom. After Steller was done, Edward looked in a mirror. “Wow, I look good!” he grinned.To date, Steller has given 30 or so such haircuts to people around the city. She is keenly aware of the power of her cleanup job. “It’s more than a haircut,” she says.Steller knows that a haircut can change a life. One changed hers. As a teen, she suffered from a severe bowel disease and her hair thinned drastically. Seeing this, her mother arranged for Steller’s first professional haircut.“To sit down and have somebody look at me and talk to me like a person and not just an illness, it helped me feel cared about and less alone,” she says. After that, Steller knew she wanted to have her own salon. Soon after finishing cosmetology（美容）school in 2009, she began what she now calls her Red Chair Project, reaching out to people on the streets.“Part of what broke my heart was just how lonely people looked,” she says. “I thought maybe I can’t fix their problems, but I can help them feel less alone sometimes.”24. Which of the following best describes Edward?A. He related everything to Steller.B. He lived with his mom in Mississippi.C. He was satisfied with his new haircut.D. He sat by the roadside asking for a haircut.25. What do we know about the free haircuts?A. They made people full of power.B. They helped people solve their problems.C.

Edward’s Free HaircutC. An Amazing EncounterD. More Than a Free HaircutCWhen we dig to obtain a precious metal, a fuel, or an ancient mine, we remove a chapter of another time. Such materials take millions of years to settle, then only moments to remove with machine and explosive.Ever since humans first realized that the ground beneath them held hidden riches, we have dug down to discover what lies beneath. Mining makes almost every aspect of our modern lives possible, and often the effects on the natural world are far, far away from home. Unlike many of the changes humanity has brought on the planet’s surface, which will disappear in time, some of our underground doings have left permanent horrible scars（伤疤）．“The underground world for most of us is out of sight, out of mind,” observes geologist Jan Zalasiewicz in England. “Yet it is seeing significant change that in some ways is as striking as any that humans have made to the Earth’s geology, and that is permanent.” At present, while certain tree roots can reach as much as 68 meters deep somewhere in South Africa, miners in that country have dug five kilometers below Earth’s surface in pursuit of gold. The world’s deepest borehole（钻孔）plunges（陡降）more than 12 kilometers into the ground.“Things like mines and boreholes, even pressed by pressure and chemically changed by underground liquids, are big and obvious holes in the rock. They’re not subtle,” Zalasiewicz says. Zalasiewicz and his co-authors propose a new term for such underground disturbances: “anthroturbation”. The name originates from the word “bioturbation”, which refers to the kind of trace left behind in the Earth by animals suchas ants when they dig their homes. Humans take this kind of disturbance to a much deeper level.“The only way these marks can go away is by coming to the surface and being destroyed, or getting caught up in a continental crash, or some other activities,” Zalasiewicz told me. “Any of these ways for erasing them will take tens to hundreds of millions of years.”28. What’s the author’s attitude to humans’ underground digging?A. Negative.B. Approval.C. Unconcerned.D. Neutral.29. What does the author want to show by giving examples in paragraph 3?A. To show humans’ super ability.B. To praise humans’ determination.C. To reveal humans’ destructive power.D. To introduce humans’ new discoveries.30.What does the underlined word “subtle” in paragraph 4 mean?A. Apparent.B. Unnoticeable.C. Incredible.D. Mysterious.31.What can we learn from this passage?A. The modem lives depend on the underground digging.B. The protection of the underground is well underway.C. The underground doings by humans will soon disappear.D. The disappearance of the underground scars will take ages.DIsraeli company Watergen has produced a device that generates clean, drinkable water out of air. The device called GENNY is small enough to be used in a home or office but can generate up to 30 liters of water a day. The water that GENNY produces is not only clean enough to drink, it’s also often cleaner than tap water.GENNY takes air in and passes it through a filter (过滤器) to remove dust and dirt. The filter is powerful enough to work even in areas with high air pollution. The air then passes through a chamber where heating and cooling cause water vapor in the air to condense (凝结). This water is then passed through several more filters and minerals are added to make it healthier and taste better. Finally, the water is stored in a tank where it is continually circulated to keep it fresh.A larger model, called the GEN-350, can produce up to 900 liters of water per day. The GEN-350 is now being used in hospitals that previously did not have a reliable source of fresh, clean water. Watergen has also developed an emergency response vehicle (ERV) that can carry a GEN-350 unit wherever it is needed. In addition to the GEN-350, the ERV carries a portable generator that supplies electricity for the GEN-350.Watergen’s ERV is designed to bring water to people suffering from the effects of a serious earthquake, fire, flood or other situations. Once such an incident occurred in California in 2018. A fire started at a camp site and spread quickly over a wide area, destroying many thousands of acres of trees and many homes. One of Watergen’s ERVs was driven there and it provided water for its citizens and rescue workers. Besides, they also provided clean safe water for the residents of Texas and Florida in the aftermath of the devastation caused by hurricane’s Harvey and Irma.32. What can we know about Watergen’s devices ?A. They’re available in different sizes.B. They’ re made in numerous countries.C. They’re extremely difficult to operate.D. They produce less water in polluted regions.33. The GENNY adds minerals to .A. keep the water fresh and cleanB. meet the water safety criteriaC. remove dust and dirt from the waterD. improve the flavor of the water34. What can Watergen do using its ERV?A. Deal with customers’ complaints.B. Outperform its competitors.C. Supply electricity for local people.D. Respond to natural disasters.35. What is the purpose of the text?A. To advertise an Israeli company.B. To introduce an Israeli water device.C. To explain the principles of purifying water.D. To recommend a new brand of drinking water.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。
