ALost cities that have been foundThe White CityIn 2015，a team of explorers to Honduras in search of "the Lost City of the Monkey God” led to the discovery of the White City. They found the ruins in the Mosquitia region of the Central American country —which is known for poisonous snakes，vicious jaguars and deadly insects. It is believed that local people hid here when the Spanish conquerors(征服者)occupied their homeland in the 16th century.Canopus and HeracleionModern researchers were teased by the ancient writings about the Egyptian cities Canopus and Heracleion —where Queen Cleopatra often visited. But the cities weren't found until 1992，when a search in Alexandria waters found that the two cities had been flooded for centuries. Artifacts(史前器物)showed that the cities once highly developed as a trade network, which helped researchers piece together more about the last queen of Egypt. Machu PicchuA Yale professor discovered “the Lost City in the Clouds” in 1911. A combination palaces, plazas，temples and homes, Machu Picchu displays the Inca Empire at the height of its rule. The city, which was abandoned in the 16th century for unknown reasons, was hidden by the local people from the Spanish conquerors for centuries，keeping it so well preserved.TroyThe ancient city of Troy in Homer's The Iliad was considered a fictional setting for his characters to run wild. But in 1871，explorations in northwestern Turkey exposed nine ancient cities layered(层叠)on top of each other, the earliest dating back to about 5，000 years before. It was later determined that the sixth or seventh layer contained the lost city of Troy and that it was actually destroyed by an earthquake，not a wooden horse.21. Why did people hide in the White City in the 16th century?A. To survive the war.B. To search for a lost city.C. To protect their country.D. To avoid dangerous animals.22. Which of the following was related to a royal family member?A. The White City.B. Canopus and Heracleion.C. Machu Picchu.D. Troy.23. What can we learn about Troy?A. It was built by Homer.B. It consisted of nine cities.C. It had a history of 5,000 years.D. It was ruined by a natural disaster.BMy motivation for starting our family tradition of reading in the car was purely selfish：I could not bear listening to A Sesame Street Christmas for another 10 hours. My three children had been addicted to this cassette on our previous summer's road trip.As I began to prepare for our next 500-mile car trip，I came across a book Jim Trelease's The Read Aloud Handbook. This could be the answer to my problem, I thought. So I put Roald Dahl’s James and the Giant Peach into my bag. When I began to read aloud the tale of the boy who escapes the bad guys by hiding inside a giant peach, my three kids argued and wrestled in their seats. But after several lines，they were attracted into the rhythm of the words and began to listen.We soon learned that the simple pleasure of listening to a well-written book makes the long miles pass more quickly. Sometimes the books we read became highlights of the trip. I read Wilson Rawls's Summer of the Monkeys as we spent two days driving to the beach. We arrived just behind the power crews restoring(恢复）electricity after a tropical storm. The rain continued most of the week，and the beach was covered with oil washed up by the storm. When we returned home，I asked my son what he liked about the trip. He answered without hesitation，“The book you read in the car. ”Road trips still offer challenges，even though my children now are teenagers. But we continue to read as we roll across the country. And I'm beginning to see that reading aloud has done more than help pass the time. For at least a little while, we are not shut in our own electronic worlds. And maybe we've started something that will pass on to the next generation.24. Why did the author start reading in the car?A. She wanted to have a better journey.B. She wanted to keep a family tradition.C. Her children were addicted to reading.D. Her children were tired of the cassette.25. How did the children react after the author read a few lines?A. They kept fighting.B. I hey hid themselves.C. They soon settled clown.D. They read together aloud.26. What can we learn about the author and her family’s trip to the beach?A.They were caught in a storm.B. They enjoyed reading on the road.C. They had a good time on the beach.D. They thought it had passed too quickly.27. Which can be the best title for the text?A. Better Traveling than ReadingB. Books that Changed My ChildrenC. Road Trips Full of ChallengesD. Reading Makes Great Road TripsCThe arm bones of women who lived 7-000 years ago show a surprising level of strength-even higher than today's professional athletes. That's according to a first-ever study comparing prehistoric(史前的)bones to those of living people. The finding suggests a revision of history — the everyday lives of prehistoric women were filled with hard labor, rather than just sitting at home doing lighter tasks while the men struggled and fought for life.Before the study, there are no clear records describing how our ancient ancestors lived. It can be easy to forget that bone is a living tissue, one that responds to the difficulties we put our bodies through，"said lead author Alison Macintosh. “Physical force and muscle activity both put pressure on the bone. The bone reacts by changing in shape, thickness and other aspects over time. ”Previous studies only compared female bones to contemporary male bones, the researchers said — and that's a problem, because the response of male bones to stress and change is much bigger than that of women. For instance, as humans moved from a hunter-gatherer lifestyle constantly on the move to a more settled agrarian (农耕的）one, changes can be observed in the structure of the shinbone (胫骨) 一and these changes were much more evident in men.However, a comparison of the bones of prehistoric women to the bonos of living female athletes can help us work out a more accurate picture of what those prehistoric women were doing. “By analyzing the bones of living people and comparing them to the ancient hones, we can start to explain the kinds of labor our ancestors were performing,"Macintosh said. What they found was that women's leg strength hasn’t changed a great deal, but their arms used to be very powerful. Prehistoric women, the researchers found, had arm strength 11〜16 percent stronger than those of modern rowers, and 30 percent stronger than those of non-athletes.28. What does the study tell about prehistoric women?A. They were stronger than men.B. They had lighter bones than men.C. They did tough tasks as the men.D. They spent most time staying at home.29. What problem did previous studies on prehistoric bones have?A. They lacked enough comparison.B. They only studied men's bones.C. They focused little on bones.D. They ignored the lifestyles.30. What does the underlined word “that” in Paragraph 3 refer to?A. Bones’ structure.B. Bones' thickness.C. Bones’ response to stress.D. Bones’ stress from hard labor.31. What can we learn from the last paragraph?A.It’s still hard to exp lain our ancestors' lifestyle.B. Prehistoric women went through much suffering.C. Women's arms have becomc much stronger over time.D. Prehistoric women are stronger than contemporary females.DA few years ago，Darla Hoff painted a pumpkin face onto a round straw bale(捆）at A1 and Karen Goklman's farm in Idaho Palls to advertise her U-pick pumpkin field. While Darla has stopped growing pumpkins, the annual tradition of straw bale art lives on at the farm and has drawn friends and neighbors to participate in it. Past creations have included an owl, Minions, tractors and a teddy bear.To make the tractors, A1 baled round straw bales in two different sizes smaller ones for the tractor's front tires and larger ones for the rear(尾部）. Large square bales made up the bodies. Jerry Kienlen used his farming equipment to arrange the bales in the shape of two tractors. Then it was time to bring the tractors to life. Karen and her daughter. Lana Hedrick, secured some green paint，and A1 got some red paint. Darla's husband, James, sprayed the creation with a paint gun. For the finishing touches, Steven donated two shiny exhaust stacks (排气管），and A1 and Karen donated two steering wheels from their farm parts.The farm's annual straw bale art projects have now become a way for everyone to celebrate the end of another growing season. It's just something fun to do together after harvest. This neighborhood has always been close. Generations of these families have grown crops in this soil. Raised on the farms where they live now, they grew up together as their elders did before. A1 and Karen are truly super neighbors. Every year they also grow about two acres of corn to give away. Anyone can pick some, or A1 and Karen will even deliver. And during long Idaho winters, everyone gathers at the farm to enjoy fresh coffee and cookies.This year's straw hale creation theme is Straw Wars. And all eyes will be on A1 and Karen's farm as their creation takes shape.32. Why did Darla paint a pumpkin face onto a straw bale?A. To recycle straw bales.B. To please his neighbors.C. To create a new tradition.D.To make an advertisement.33. What does the underlined phrase “the creation" in Paragraph 2 refer to?A.The straw bale tires.B. The square straw bales.C. The straw bale tractors.D. The farming equipment.34. What do local people think of the straw bale art show?A. It needs something fun.B. It’s a good way to celebrate harvest.C. It makes A1 and Karen famous in the town.D. It stands for the beginning of a new season.35. What kind of neighbors are A1 and Karen according to Paragraph 3?A. Generous.B. Creative.C. Funny.D. Determined.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。

To encourage more outdoor activities.BTo personal trainer Sammy Callari, 13-year-old Parker Seward is more than a client (客户). He's his "little brother". Over the past year, the pair have bonded. They play basketball together, share meals and dance to hip-hop like no one‘s watching.The trainer was asked to work with the 13-year-old boy, who has Down syndrome (唐氏症), because his coworker who dealt with the boy was out of town last spring. Callari had never worked with someone with a disability before. He was anxious the first day he met Parker. But Parker’s big smile and cheery introduction immediately put him at ease. He reminded Callari of himself when he was a teenager. Like Parker, Callari has also faced his fair share of challenges over the years.As a high schooler, Callari described himself as being the weak kid. When it came to sports, he was always overlooked. His dream of playingbaseball in college quickly faded away. When he went to college, Callari turned to a new sport. His younger brother trained him to become a boxer. Callari participated in five matches. Out of four of those fights he was the underdog, and he won three times. "I know how it feels, "Callari said. "Society tells you that you can't do this, you can’t do that. "When it comes to Parker, Callari refuses to accept the word “can't”The friends meet twice a week to train. They bike, box, run and work on their core with push-ups. Parker has a short attention span, so it's callari's job to keep him focused. "If Parker can do it, if he's having fun, even with his frustration, then people will ask, ‘Why can't I do that?”Callari said. “That's the whole task right now.”Callari recalls parker's mom once thanking him for taking a "chance" on her son. Callari told her he never viewed it that way. Parker may be the student, but Callari says he's also the one who's learning24. Why was Callari asked to train Parker?A. They shared the same interests.B Parkers parents had faith in Callari.C. Callari took place of his absent colleague,D Callari was an expert in Down syndrome25. What can we learn about Callari when he was in high school?A. He was good at sports.B. He was out of condition.C. He was looked down upon by everyoneD. He was influenced deeply by his brother26. What attitude does Callari have to Parker?A. Grateful B Sympathetic. C. Cautious D. Critical27. What is the text mainly about?A. An inspiring story of a disabled boyB. A high schooler suffering lots of failure.C. The friendship between a disabled boy and his personal trainerD. Ways of developing friendship with the boy with Down syndromeCBeing mistreated at work can make people take out their negative emotions on loved ones at home. But a new study suggests that getting more exercise and sleep may help people better cope with them by leaving them at work, where they belong.Previous research shows that employees who are looked down on or insulted by colleagues are likely to express their frustrations and behave angrily toward people outside of work, says study co-author Shannon Taylor, a management professor at the University of Central Florida's College of Business.The new study backs up this idea, but offers a bit of good news as well: Employees who averaged more than 10, 500 steps a day or burnedat least 2, 100 calories were less likely to mistreat their cohabitants than those who averaged fewer steps or burned fewer calories.The findings also revealed that when employees felt they had a bad night's sleep because of work issues, they were more likely to be grouchy at home. "When you're tired, you are either less able or less motivated to regulate yourself." says co-author Larissa Barber, a professor of psychology at Northern Illinois University.Physical activity seems to counterbalance poor sleep, Barber says, because it promotes healthy brain functions needed to properly regulate emotions and behaviors. "This study suggests that high amounts of exercise can be at least one way to improve the situations brought by sleep troubles that lead to negative behaviors at home, "she says.Barber acknowledges that finding time to work out and get a full night’s sleep can be difficult when work pressure is mounting, and that often, job stress can be directly related to sleep quality. But, she says, making the effort to burn some extra calories and blow off some steam can be worth it. It's not only good for you, says Taylor, but it can benefit the people live with.28. What does the underlined word "they" in Paragraph 1 refer to?A. Loved people at home B Negative emotions.C. Different work pressures. D More exercise and sleep29. Who will most probably behave angrily to family members?A. A person who is easy to get tired.B. A person who often goes to the gym to work outC. A person who is always treated badly by coworkers.D A person who often argues with colleagues30. The underlined word "counterbalance" in Paragraph 5 is doesn’t in meaning toA. make use ofB. take control ofC. keep up with D make up for31. What can we learn from the text?A. Work pressure makes no difference in sleep quality.B. How to burn more calories has become a major issue for workers.C Enough exercise can replace good sleep in dealing with negative behaviors.D. The amount of calories employees burn affects the frequency of losing temper.DGoogle, one of the world's outstanding tech companies, was attacked. It wasn’t its search engine that was attacked or its advertising platform or even its social network, Google+. Instead, it was a building.Two web security experts hacked (侵入) into its Wharf 7 office in Sydney, Australia through Googles building management system (BMS).One of them, Billy Rios, says, My colleague and I have a lot of experiencein web security, but it is not something that people couldn't learn. Once you understand how the system works，it is very simple.”They found the system on Shodan, a search engine that lists devices connected to the Internet, and then ran it through their own software to identify who owned the building. In the case of the Google hacking, the researchers had no immoral purpose and just informed Google about what they found.According to Mr. Rios, who runs security company Whitescope, there are 50,000 buildings currently connected to the Internet, including research institutes, churches and hospitals, and 2, 000 of those are online with no password protection. Martyn Thomas, a professor of IT at Gresham College in the UK, says, "It is beyond doubt that attempts to attack building management systems are happening all the time.”Making a building smart generally means connecting the systems that control heating, lighting and security to the Internet and the wider corporate network. There was a strong reason for doing this, said Andrew Kelly, principal security consultant at defence company Qinetiq.Energy savings are the biggest factor in connecting building management systems to the corporate network, he says. "It gives those who run the building better control and offers between 20% to 50% in energy savings, "he adds.But it also makes them less secure. And if any of these feels like aHollywood film, think again.32. How did Billy Rios and his colleague hack Googles building?A. They invented a search engine and connected it to Googles building.B. They worked for Google and mastered how the building worked.C. They used Google's BMS to find out the owner of the building.D. They connected their own software to the building to run Google.33. In the case of the Google hacking, the researchers had the intention ofA analyzing some immoral problemsB. explaining the reasons for energy savingsC. entering Google's building to save more energyD. telling Google about the Wharf 7 office's hidden danger34. What's the main idea of Paragraph 4?A. There are many researchers contributing a lot to web securityB. The building management systems of some buildings are in danger.C. The attack on building management systems happens all over the world.D. There are too many buildings connected to the Internet to be managed well35. What is the author’s attitude towards the way of the energy savings of some buildings?A. Negative. B Ambiguous C. Indifferent D Favorable.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。

But a new study suggests that getting more exercise and sleep may help people better cope with them by leaving them at work, where they belong.Previous research shows that employees who are looked down on or insulted by colleagues are likely to express their frustrations and behave angrily toward people outside of work, says study co-author Shannon Taylor, a management professor at the University of Central Florida's College of Business.The new study backs up this idea, but offers a bit of good news as well: Employees who averaged more than 10, 500 steps a day or burned at least 2, 100 calories were less likely to mistreat their cohabitants than those who averaged fewer steps or burned fewer calories.The findings also revealed that when employees felt they had a bad night's sleep because of work issues, they were more likely to be grouchy at home. "When you're tired, you are either less able or less motivated to regulate yourself." says co-author Larissa Barber, a professor of psychology at Northern Illinois University.Physical activity seems to counterbalance poor sleep, Barber says, because it promotes healthy brain functions needed to properly regulate emotions and behaviors. "This study suggests that high amounts of exercise can be at least one way to improve the situations brought by sleep troubles that lead to negative behaviors at home, "she says.Barber acknowledges that finding time to work out and get a full night’s sleep can be difficult when work pressure is mounting, and that often, job stress can be directly related to sleep quality. But, she says, making the effort to burn some extra calories and blow off some steam can be worth it. It's not only good for you, says Taylor, but it can benefit the people live with.28. What does the underlined word "they" in Paragraph 1 refer to?A. Loved people at home B Negative emotions.C. Different work pressures. D More exercise and sleep29. Who will most probably behave angrily to family members?A. A person who is easy to get tired.B. A person who often goes to the gym to work outC. A person who is always treated badly by coworkers.D A person who often argues with colleagues30. The underlined word "counterbalance" in Paragraph 5 is doesn’t in meaning toA. make use ofB. take control ofC. keep up with D make up for31. What can we learn from the text?A. Work pressure makes no difference in sleep quality.B. How to burn more calories has become a major issue for workers.C Enough exercise can replace good sleep in dealing with negative behaviors.D. The amount of calories employees burn affects the frequency of losing temper.DGoogle, one of the world's outstanding tech companies, was attacked. It wasn’t its search engine that was attacked or its advertising platform or even its social network, Google+. Instead, it was a building.Two web security experts hacked (侵入) into its Wharf 7 office in Sydney, Australia through Googles building management system (BMS). One of them, Billy Rios, says, My colleague and I have a lot of experience in web security, but it is not something that people couldn't learn. Once you understand how the system works，it is very simple.”They found the system on Shodan, a search engine that lists devices connected to the Internet, and then ran it through their own software to identify who owned the building. In the case of the Google hacking, the researchers had no immoral purpose and just informed Google about what they found.According to Mr. Rios, who runs security company Whitescope, there are 50,000 buildings currently connected to the Internet, including research institutes, churches and hospitals, and 2, 000 of those are online with no password protection. Martyn Thomas, a professor of IT at Gresham College in the UK, says, "It is beyond doubt that attempts to attack building management systems are happening all thetime.”Making a building smart generally means connecting the systems that control heating, lighting and security to the Internet and the wider corporate network. There was a strong reason for doing this, said Andrew Kelly, principal security consultant at defence company Qinetiq.Energy savings are the biggest factor in connecting building management systems to the corporate network, he says. "It gives those who run the building better control and offers between 20% to 50% in energy savings, "he adds.But it also makes them less secure. And if any of these feels like a Hollywood film, think again.32. How did Billy Rios and his colleague hack Googles building?A. They invented a search engine and connected it to Googles building.B. They worked for Google and mastered how the building worked.C. They used Google's BMS to find out the owner of the building.D. They connected their own software to the building to run Google.33. In the case of the Google hacking, the researchers had the intention ofA analyzing some immoral problemsB. explaining the reasons for energy savingsC. entering Google's building to save more energyD. telling Google about the Wharf 7 office's hidden danger34. What's the main idea of Paragraph 4?A. There are many researchers contributing a lot to web securityB. The building management systems of some buildings are in danger.C. The attack on building management systems happens all over the world.D. There are too many buildings connected to the Internet to be managed well35. What is the author’s at titude towards the way of the energy savings of some buildings?A. Negative. B Ambiguous C. Indifferent D Favorable.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。

ALost cities that have been foundThe White CityIn 2015，a team of explorers to Honduras in search of "the Lost City of the Monkey God” led to the discovery of the White City. They found the ruins in the Mosquitia region of the Central American country —which is known for poisonous snakes，vicious jaguars and deadly insects. It is believed that local people hid here when the Spanish conquerors(征服者)occupied their homeland in the 16th century.Canopus and HeracleionModern researchers were teased by the ancient writings about the Egyptian cities Canopus and Heracleion —where Queen Cleopatra often visited. But the cities weren't found until 1992，when a search in Alexandria waters found that the two cities had been flooded for centuries. Artifacts(史前器物)showed that the cities once highly developed as a trade network, which helped researchers piece together more about the last queen of Egypt. Machu PicchuA Yale professor discovered “the Lost City in the Clouds” in 1911. A combination palaces, plazas，temples and homes, Machu Picchu displays the Inca Empire at the height of its rule. The city, which was abandoned in the 16th century for unknown reasons, was hidden by the local people from the Spanish conquerors for centuries，keeping it so well preserved.TroyThe ancient city of Troy in Homer's The Iliad was considered a fictional setting for his characters to run wild. But in 1871，explorations in northwestern Turkey exposed nine ancient cities layered(层叠)on top of each other, the earliest dating back to about 5，000 years before. It was later determined that the sixth or seventh layer contained the lost city of Troy and that it was actually destroyed by an earthquake，not a wooden horse.21. Why did people hide in the White City in the 16th century?A. To survive the war.B. To search for a lost city.C. To protect their country.D. To avoid dangerous animals.22. Which of the following was related to a royal family member?A. The White City.B. Canopus and Heracleion.C. Machu Picchu.D. Troy.23. What can we learn about Troy?A. It was built by Homer.B. It consisted of nine cities.C. It had a history of 5,000 years.D. It was ruined by a natural disaster.BMy motivation for starting our family tradition of reading in the car was purely selfish：I could not bear listening to A Sesame Street Christmas for another 10 hours. My three children had been addicted to this cassette on our previous summer's road trip.As I began to prepare for our next 500-mile car trip，I came across a book Jim Trelease's The Read Aloud Handbook. This could be the answer to my problem, I thought. So I put Roald Dahl’s James and the Giant Peach into my bag. When I began to read aloud the tale of the boy who escapes the bad guys by hiding inside a giant peach, my three kids argued and wrestled in their seats. But after several lines，they were attracted into the rhythm of the words and began to listen.We soon learned that the simple pleasure of listening to a well-written book makes the long miles pass more quickly. Sometimes the books we read became highlights of the trip. I read Wilson Rawls's Summer of the Monkeys as we spent two days driving to the beach. We arrived just behind the power crews restoring(恢复）electricity after a tropical storm. The rain continued most of the week，and the beach was covered with oil washed up by the storm. When we returned home，I asked my son what he liked about the trip. He answered without hesitation，“The book you read in the car. ”Road trips still offer challenges，even though my children now are teenagers. But we continue to read as we roll across the country. And I'm beginning to see that reading aloud has done more than help pass the time. For at least a little while, we are not shut in our own electronic worlds. And maybe we've started something that will pass on to the next generation.24. Why did the author start reading in the car?A. She wanted to have a better journey.B. She wanted to keep a family tradition.C. Her children were addicted to reading.D. Her children were tired of the cassette.25. How did the children react after the author read a few lines?A. They kept fighting.B. I hey hid themselves.C. They soon settled clown.D. They read together aloud.26. What can we learn about the author and her family’s trip to the beach?A.They were caught in a storm.B. They enjoyed reading on the road.C. They had a good time on the beach.D. They thought it had passed too quickly.27. Which can be the best title for the text?A. Better Traveling than ReadingB. Books that Changed My ChildrenC. Road Trips Full of ChallengesD. Reading Makes Great Road TripsCThe arm bones of women who lived 7-000 years ago show a surprising level of strength-even higher than today's professional athletes. That's according to a first-ever study comparing prehistoric(史前的)bones to those of living people. The finding suggests a revision of history — the everyday lives of prehistoric women were filled with hard labor, rather than just sitting at home doing lighter tasks while the men struggled and fought for life.Before the study, there are no clear records describing how our ancient ancestors lived. It can be easy to forget that bone is a living tissue, one that responds to the difficulties we put our bodies through，"said lead author Alison Macintosh. “Physical force and muscle activity both put pressure on the bone. The bone reacts by changing in shap e, thickness and other aspects over time. ”Previous studies only compared female bones to contemporary male bones, the researchers said — and that's a problem, because the response of male bones to stress and change is much bigger than that of women. For instance, as humans moved from a hunter-gatherer lifestyle constantly on the move to a more settled agrarian (农耕的）one, changes can be observed in the structure of the shinbone (胫骨) 一and these changes were much more evident in men.However, a comparison of the bones of prehistoric women to the bonos of living female athletes can help us work out a more accurate picture of what those prehistoric women were doing. “By analyzing the bones of living people and comparing them to the ancient hones, we can start to explain the kinds of labor our ancestors were performing,"Macintosh said. What they found was that women's leg strength hasn’t changed a great deal, but their arms used to be very powerful. Prehistoric women, the researchers found, had arm strength 11〜16 percent stronger than those of modern rowers, and 30 percent stronger than those of non-athletes.28. What does the study tell about prehistoric women?A. They were stronger than men.B. They had lighter bones than men.C. They did tough tasks as the men.D. They spent most time staying at home.29. What problem did previous studies on prehistoric bones have?A. They lacked enough comparison.B. They only studied men's bones.C. They focused little on bones.D. They ignored the lifestyles.30. What does the underlined word “that” in Paragraph 3 refer to?A. Bones’ structure.B. Bones' thickness.C. Bones’ response to stress.D. Bones’ stress from hard labor.31. What can we learn from the last paragraph?A.It’s still hard to explain our ancestors' lifestyle.B. Prehistoric women went through much suffering.C. Women's arms have becomc much stronger over time.D. Prehistoric women are stronger than contemporary females.DA few years ago，Darla Hoff painted a pumpkin face onto a round straw bale(捆）at A1 and Karen Goklman's farm in Idaho Palls to advertise her U-pick pumpkin field. While Darla has stopped growing pumpkins, the annual tradition of straw bale art lives on at the farm and has drawn friends and neighbors to participate in it. Past creations have included an owl, Minions, tractors and a teddy bear.To make the tractors, A1 baled round straw bales in two different sizes smaller ones for the tractor's front tires and larger ones for the rear(尾部）. Large square bales made up the bodies. Jerry Kienlen used his farming equipment to arrange the bales in the shape of two tractors. Then it was time to bring the tractors to life. Karen and her daughter. Lana Hedrick, secured some green paint，and A1 got some red paint. Darla's husband, James, sprayed the creation with a paint gun. For the finishing touches, Steven donated two shiny exhaust stacks (排气管），and A1 and Karen donated two steering wheels from their farm parts.The farm's annual straw bale art projects have now become a way for everyone to celebrate the end of another growing season. It's just something fun to do together after harvest. This neighborhood has always been close. Generations of these families have grown crops in this soil. Raised on the farms where they live now, they grew up together as their elders did before. A1 and Karen are truly super neighbors. Every year they also grow about two acres of corn to give away. Anyone can pick some, or A1 and Karen will even deliver. And during long Idaho winters, everyone gathers at the farm to enjoy fresh coffee and cookies.This year's straw hale creation theme is Straw Wars. And all eyes will be on A1 and Karen's farm as their creation takes shape.32. Why did Darla paint a pumpkin face onto a straw bale?A. To recycle straw bales.B. To please his neighbors.C. To create a new tradition.D.To make an advertisement.33. What does the underlined phrase “the creation" in Paragraph 2 refer to?A.The straw bale tires.B. The square straw bales.C. The straw bale tractors.D. The farming equipment.34. What do local people think of the straw bale art show?A. It needs something fun.B. It’s a good way to celebrate harvest.C. It makes A1 and Karen famous in the town.D. It stands for the beginning of a new season.35. What kind of neighbors are A1 and Karen according to Paragraph 3?A. Generous.B. Creative.C. Funny.D. Determined.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。

AIf you are looking for something fun and educational to do in Maryland, why not visit the Maryland Science Center? It is located at 601 Light Street, Baltimore, MD 21230. The ticket prices vary depending on ages, groups and the exhibits you choose.IntroductionThe Maryland Science Center is basically a museum, but it gives everyone a chance to learn through experience and play, rather than just glance at an exhibit.ActivitiesYou can learn about various topics, including outer space, the human body, dinosaurs, electricity,marine（海洋的）b iology, energy, and much more. You can also take part in the interactive activities, such as racing bubbles, digging for dinosaur fossils, using puzzle pieces to construct cars, and so much more.The Davis Planetarium（天文馆）At the Davis Planetarium, you can lie back in a chair and look at the stars while still inside the Science Center. The stars will appear on the ceiling of the theatre as you watch them.There are different shows to catch at the Davis Planetarium. You can learn about the galaxy and astronomy during the Dark Matters show. Learn about the stars and planets during the Sky Live show. The OneWorld One Sky show allows children to explore the stars. The Live from the Sun show will teach you all about the hot sun.The Kids RoomFor children, they can’t miss the Kids Room. They will be able to play in a water area, construct dams and water towers, push buttons, ring doorbells, build with blocks, and more, and definitely they will learn a lot. In addition, there is also an area for kids of two years old and under, where they can crawl, walk and explore safely with soft toys.1.What do we know about the Maryland Science Center?A.It charges different prices for parents and children.B.It is regarded as the most popular museum in Maryland.C.It is a museum where there are many famous exhibitions.D.It is mainly designed for children and their families to play together.2.Which activity is not available in the Maryland Science Center?A.Taking part in bubble competitions.B.Learning the structure of the human body.C.Watching famous science fiction films.D.Gaining knowledge of marine creatures.3.If you want to know why the sun shines, which show should you choose?A. Dark Matters.B. Live from the Sun.C. One World One Sky.D. Sky Live.4.What can we learn about the Kids Room from the passage?A.It is designed for parents who have children.B.It provides a good opportunity for parents to relax.C.Children there need to be accompanied by their parents.D.It is a good place for children to learn and play at the same time.5.Where is the passage most probably taken from?A.A newspaper.B. A science journal.C. A marketing report.D. Atravel brochure（小册子）.BEvery May it happens. I drop to my knees just outside the back door, raise my arms to the sky and shout, “That’s it! I give up! Take my flower beds, you killer weeds! Blackberry vines（藤蔓）, this land is yours! Vines, climb up and kill my trees one by one! I’m done!”Then I get up, lie down on the swing, and close my eyes. I’m sure I can hear the weeds growing and the vines creeping in（悄悄爬进）. I swear they are all laughing at me, too. They don’t even have the manners to wait until I leave there.There is no denying that gardens are battle zones in the spring. I blame it on those April and May rains. Once the heat moves in, I can controlwhat gets watered and survives, but those early showers even out（平均分配）the battlefield.Garden tools alone make it clear that gardening isn’t an easy thing. My old cart seems to have the personality of a tank, and I’m pretty sure my spade is second cousin to a dagger.By late June, both sides are worn down. I’ve given some of the yard over to the weeds — you just can’t win them all. That’s a battle for next year. There is no clear victory for me, but I’ve stood my ground for yet another season.6.What is the best title of the passage?A.A victory over weedsB. My love for the yardC.A battle against weedsD. The skills of gardening7.What does the underlined “it” in Paragraph 1 most probably refer to?A.That heat moves in and evens out the battlefield.B.That vines creep in and kill all the trees one by one.C.That weeds take whole possession of the flower beds.D.That the author gets exhausted from fighting against weeds.8.What can we know from Paragraph 3?A.Spring is the best time to kill weeds.B.Spring’s heat helps weeds to win the battle.C.The rain makes it hard for the author to win her battle.D.The spring rain makes the plants to suffer too much.9.Why does the author compare her garden tools to weapons?A.To show the power of the tools.B.To stress the difficulty of gardening.C.To describe the shapes of the tools.D.To provide ways of gardening.10.What can we learn according to the passage?A.The author is exhausted by the battle and has finally given up.B.The author has decided to battle with the weeds next year.C.The author enjoys the battle with the weeds and expect another fight.D.The author does not want to kill all the weeds since they are also helpful.CEvery one can try his best to achieve. We don’t need to be the best, but to tough out the limits of what we are capable of. I gained this belief from my third grade teacher, the most special, honored, trustworthy, and loved person in my life.Mr. Myrus was always perfectly dressed and spoke with the belief that talking to eight-year-olds didn’t mean he had to sacrifice proper statements or grammars. And he was demanding but he wasn’t unreasonable or cruel. He simply felt that no matter what your best was, you should achieve it.As luck would have it, I met him again as my eighth grade math teacher.I was not, nor ever will be, gifted in math. I remember my struggles in class. “I don’t know the answer,”I would say, “I can’t do it!”“Perhaps you don’t know the answer,”he would say quietly. “Do you think we might figure it out together? How do you know what you can do until you try?”Mr. Myrus lived around the corner, and I would often stop by to talk while he worked in his garden. I knew there was someone who let me know that if I had really tried, that was enough.“Don’t be so hard on yourself,”he’d say. “Stop blaming yourself. Did you try your best? Well, then you’re not a failure,” he often told me these words.Mr. Myrus died in 1978. I had never thought about his death. He was too young. I felt sorry. But when I think about him now, I don’t feel so sorry. He taught me to be kind, not only to others, but to myself. He taught me my own value. He taught me about honor, about truth, and about doing my best — and that all feelings and beliefs have dignity and deserve respect. And of all the things I know, this I believe: We can’t all be “the best”,but we can, each of us, be our best, and I know that’s true because Mr. Myrus told me that.11.What can we learn about Mr. Myrus according to the passage?A.He is usually hard on the students.B.He is responsible for his students and his teaching.C.He is a person who isn’t particular about what he wears.D.He sometimes is cruel and unreasonable to his students.12.What does the underlined word “demanding” in Paragraph 2 most probably mean?A.Strict.B. Serious.C. Critical.D. Careful.13.Why did the author think he was a lucky dog?A.He had got a great belief from his teacher.B.Mr. Myrus had been his teacher for eight years.C.He became interested in math because of Mr. Myrus.D.He developed a good relationship with Mr. Myrus.14.What can be inferred from Paragraph 3?A.Mr. Myrus thought it very easy to learn math.B.The author preferred other subjects to math.C.The author was ashamed to admit his poor math.D.Mr. Myrus helped the author build up his confidence.15.What can we conclude by reading the passage?A.The author may have become a teacher.B.The author liked to recall his childhood.C.The author believed he would be the best of all.D.The author ended up being a man of self-confidence.DIn an unmanned supermarket, a customer waits to pay. With the use of advanced digital payment technology, including biological recognition and in-depth learning, the man leaves in a minute. There’s no cashier in the store. At a large university, students use a hand-scanning machine that authorizes their entry into the gym. Those people are using “smart machines”which identify people by their physical characteristics. Thesenew devices use fingers, hands, faces, eyes and voices. Some machines may even use smells. This new technology, called biometrics, gets information from parts of the body.In the past, biometric machines were used mainly in government agencies or in prisons. But now that the cost of the technology is lower, these machines are starting to be used everywhere, from border services to schools.Some people, however, are concerned that these machines will mean the destruction of personal privacy. They worry that the machines will get personal information about them. “I know it seems like these machines are invading our privacy, but actually, biometric machines help to protect it,” says Jay Tarkett, who works at a company that develops the machines. “They can be used instead of passwords on a computer, for example. They can also identify criminals at airports. So, really, they help to promote public safety, and all the information stored is kept confidential by the machine itself.”Some people don’t like the idea of using fingerprints because they associate them with criminals, and feel like they are being accused of something. In addition, they don’t work for some people, such as bricklayers, who wear down their fingerprints. Yet, face recognition does work well because the subject doesn’t really have to do anything. To cash a check at a bank, for example, the customer has to do nothing more than look at a machine similar to an automatic teller. If the face matches the picture kept on file, the customer gets the money with no problems. The need to carry identification with you from place to place, then, would all but cease.It has been found that the hand scan works well in the college gym. Before this machine was used, students at the college entered the gym using cards similar to credit cards. The problem was that students often lost or forgot their cards. With the hand-scanning machine, however, the problem was solved right away.But the machines are still new, and there can be problems. For example,voice recognition works on the phone, but it is not precise, and can be tricked. Another constraint （限制）we notice, with machines that use face recognition in particular, is that they can be fooled if people color their hair or gain a lot of weight.

第I 卷（选择题）一、阅读理解ALost cities that have been foundThe White CityIn 2015, a team of explorers to Honduras in search of “the Lost City of the Monkey God” led to thediscovery of the White City. They found the ruins in the Mosquitia region of the Central American country —which is known for poisonous snakes, vicious jaguars and deadly insects. It is believed that local people hid here when the Spanish conquerors(征服者)occupied their homeland in the 16th century. Canopus and HeracleionModern researchers were teased by the ancient writings about the Egyptian cities Canopus andHeracleion — where Queen Cleopatra often visited. But the cities weren't found until 1992, when a search inAlexandria waters found that the two cities had been flooded for centuries. Artifacts(史前器物)showed thatthe cities once highly developed as a trade network, which helped researchers piece together more about thelast queen of Egypt.Machu PicchuA Yale professor discovered “the Lost City in the Clouds” in 1911. A combination palaces, plazas,temples and homes, Machu Picchu displays the Inca Empire at the height of its rule. The city, which wasabandoned in the 16th century for unknown reasons, was hidden by the local people from the Spanish conquerors for centuries, keeping it so well preserved.TroyThe ancient city of Troy in Homer's The Iliad was considered a fictional setting for his characters to run wild. But in 1871, explorations in northwestern Turkey exposed nine ancient cities layered(层叠)on top of each other, the earliest dating back to about 5,000 years before. It was later determined that the sixth or seventh layer contained the lost city of Troy and that it was actually destroyed by an earthquake, not a wooden horse. 1．Why did people hide in the White City in the 16th century? A. To survive the war. B. To search for a lost city. C. To protect their country. D. To avoid dangerous animals. 2．Which of the following was related to a royal family member? A. The White City. B. Canopus and Heracleion. C. Machu Picchu. D. Troy. 3．What can we learn about Troy? A. It was built by Homer. B. It consisted of nine cities. C. It had a history of 5,000 years. D. It was ruined by a natural disaster. B My motivation for starting our family tradition of reading in the car was purely selfish: I could not bear listening to A Sesame Street Christmas for another 10 hours. My three children had been addicted to this cassette on our previous summer's road trip. As I began to prepare for our next 500-mile car trip,I came across a book Jim Trelease's The Read Aloud Handbook . This could be the answer to my problem, I thought. So I put Roald Dahl’s James and the Giant Peach into my bag. When I began to read aloud the tale of the boy who escapes the bad guys by hiding inside a giant peach, my three kids argued and wrestled in their seats. But after several lines, they were attracted into the rhythm of the words and began to listen. We soon learned that the simple pleasure of listening to a well-written book makes the long miles pass more quickly. Sometimes the books we read became highlights of the trip. I read Wilson Rawls's Summer of the Monkeys as we spent two days driving to the beach. We arrived just behind the power crews restoring(恢此卷只装订不密封班级姓名准考证号考场号座位号复)electricity after a tropical storm. The rain continued most of the week, and the beach was covered with oil washed up by the storm. When we returned home, I asked my son what he liked about the trip. He answered without hesitation, “The book you read in the car. ”Road trips still offer challenges, even though my children now are teenagers. But we continue to read as we roll across the country. And I'm beginning to see that reading aloud has done more than help pass the time. For at least a little while, we are not shut in our own electronic worlds. And maybe we've started something that will pass on to the next generation.4．Why did the author start reading in the car?A. She wanted to have a better journey.B. She wanted to keep a family tradition.C. Her children were addicted to reading.D. Her children were tired of the cassette.5．How did the children react after the author read a few lines?A. They kept fighting.B. I hey hid themselves.C. They soon settled clown.D. 丁hey read together aloud.6．What can we learn about the author and her family’s trip to the beach?A. They were caught in a storm.B. They enjoyed reading on the road.C. They had a good time on the beach.D. They thought it had passed too quickly.7．Which can be the best title for the text?A. Better Traveling than ReadingB. Books that Changed My ChildrenC. Road Trips Full of ChallengesD. Reading Makes Great Road TripsCThe arm bones of women who lived 7-000 years ago show a surprising level of strength-even higher than today's professional athletes. That's according to a first-ever study comparing prehistoric(史前的)bones to those of living people. The finding suggests a revision of history — the everyday lives of prehistoric women were filled with hard labor, rather than just sitting at home doing lighter tasks while the men struggled and fought for life.“Before the study, there are no clear records descr ibing how our ancient ancestors lived. It can be easy to forget that bone is a living tissue, one that responds to the difficulties we put our bodies through,” said lead author Alison Macintosh. “Physical force and muscle activity both put pressure on the bone. The bone reacts by changing in shape, thickness and other aspects over time. ”Previous studies only compared female bones to contemporary male bones, the researchers said — and that's a problem, because the response of male bones to stress and change is much bigger than that of women. For instance, as humans moved from a hunter-gatherer lifestyle constantly on the move to a more settled agrarian (农耕的)one, changes can be observed in the structure of the shinbone (胫骨) 一and these changes were much more evident in men.However, a comparison of the bones of prehistoric women to the bonos of living female athletes can help us work out a more accurate pi cture of what those prehistoric women were doing. “By analyzing the bones of living people and comparing them to the ancient hones, we can start to explain the kinds of labor our ancestors were performing,” Macintosh said. What they found was that women's leg strength hasn’t changed a great deal, but their arms used to be very powerful. Prehistoric women, the researchers found, had arm strength 11〜16 percent stronger than those of modern rowers, and 30 percent stronger than those of non-athletes.8．What does the study tell about prehistoric women?A. They were stronger than men.B. They had lighter bones than men.C. They did tough tasks as the men.D. They spent most time staying at home.9．What problem did previous studies on prehistoric bones have?A. They lacked enough comparison.B. They only studied men's bones.C. They focused little on bones.D. They ignored the lifestyles.10．What does the underlined word “that” in Paragraph 3 refer to?A. Bones’ structure.B. Bones' thickness.C. Bones’ response to stress.D. Bones’ stress from hard labor.11．What can we learn from the last paragraph?A. It’s still hard to explain our ancestors' lifestyle.B. Prehistoric women went through much suffering.C. Women's arms have become much stronger over time.D. Prehistoric women are stronger than contemporary females.DA few years ago, Darla Hoff painted a pumpkin face onto a round straw bale(捆)at A1 and Karen Goldman's farm in Idaho Palls to advertise her U-pick pumpkin field. While Darla has stopped growing pumpkins, the annual tradition of straw bale art lives on at the farm and has drawn friends and neighbors to participate in it. Past creations have included an owl, Minions, tractors and a teddy bear.To make the tractors, A1 baled round straw bales in two different sizes smaller ones for the tractor's front tires and larger ones for the rear(尾部). Large square bales made up the bodies. Jerry Kienlen used his farming equipment to arrange the bales in the shape of two tractors. Then it was time to bring the tractors to life. Karen and her daughter. Lana Hedrick, secured some green paint, and A1 got some red paint. Darla's husband, James, sprayed the creation with a paint gun. For the finishing touches, Steven donated two shiny exhaust stacks (排气管),and A1 and Karen donated two steering wheels from their farm parts.The farm's annual straw bale art projects have now become a way for everyone to celebrate the end of another growing season. It's just something fun to do together after harvest. This neighborhood has always been close. Generations of these families have grown crops in this soil. Raised on the farms where they live now, they grew up together as their elders did before. A1 and Karen are truly super neighbors. Every year they also grow about two acres of corn to give away. Anyone can pick some, or A1 and Karen will even deliver. And during long Idaho winters, everyone gathers at the farm to enjoy fresh coffee and cookies.This year's straw hale creation theme is Straw Wars. And all eyes will be on A1 and Karen's farm as their creation takes shape.12．Why did Darla paint a pumpkin face onto a straw bale?A. To recycle straw bales.B. To please his neighbors.C. To create a new tradition.D. To make an advertisement.13．What does the underlined phrase “the creation" in Paragraph 2 refer to?A. The straw bale tires.B. The square straw bales.C. The straw bale tractors.D. The farming equipment.14．What do local people think of the straw bale art show?A. It needs something fun.B. It’s a good way to celebrate harvest.C. It makes A1 and Karen famous in the town.D. It stands for the beginning of a new season.15．What kind of neighbors are A1 and Karen according to Paragraph 3?A. Generous.B. Creative.C. Funny.D. Determined.二、七选五How to Improve Your ConfidenceConfidence is something that everyone admires.
