The technique, described in the journal (期刊) Nature, uses a thermal camera (热感照相机) to detect the sudden shift of blood flow in the face. The system performed as a traditional polygraph (测谎仪), the scientists report.Pushed by technological advances and with fresh interest since Sept.11, the discovery is part of the development in the scientific study of detection. Although the lie remains a mysterious phenomenon, researchers in recent years have found a number of new methods that might take the place of the polygraph, from brain scans, to slight changes in eye movement, to sparks of electrical activity that signal a person has seen a victim or a crime scene before. The new finding says, when a person tells a lie, there is a sudden change of blood to the area around the eyes. Although the change is not ordinary visible, the blood warms the skin, causing bands of color to appear through a camera sensitive to heat.One advantage of the camera can provide answers quickly, and doesn’t require a highly trained expert to operate it or explain its results. In theory, this new technology could be used anywhere large numbers of people need to be quickly screened.But some scientists say the technology would need to be improved before it is ready for use, for it is possible that there are other reactions that cause a sudden change in blood flow in the face and there is also the danger that people will learn to fool the machine, the same way they try to fool polygraph examinersby controlling their breathing or taking drugs to relax themselves.21. pared with a traditional polygraph, the new tool’s progress lies in the factthat _______.A. it is moveableB. it is easier to operateC. it gives correct conclusionD. it can only be used in public places.22. Different from the other tried ways, this new technology studies ______ todetect lies.A. brain wavesB. eye movementsC. electrical sparksD. change in facial blood flow23. We can infer that _________ inspires the finding of the new way of detection.A. the need of personal securityB. the data collected in the tried waysC. the threaten from terrorismD. the desire for public use24. It is NOT true that this new technology _________.A. is inparable as a result of perfect development and necessary restsB. is likely to be used widely to screen large number of peopleC. faces the danger of being fooled by experienced and drug-taking liarsD. needs to be improved before being put into useBOnline Money EarningYes, you can earn money online without any investment or without any time limit. I have many useful easy methods for earning easy money while we all spend our useful time on the Internet by surfing, chatting, downloading and other work. There is no need to stop any other work. We can earn with or without our daily routine. Here I tell you the plete method for online earning.First MethodEarn money with “Bux. to”. You can earn money through “Bux. to” by clicking on ads on “Bux. to” site. First you need to poen an account at “Bux. to”.“Bux. to” is a new international and FREE Engl ish based service that allows advertisers to reach thousands of potential customers by displaying their ads on our “Surf Ads” page. An exact calculated percentage of all advertising ine is paid to our members. “Bux. to” makes money through advertising.How you make moneyYou view websites in 30 seconds through the “Surf Ads” page. Once the 30 seconds is up, you’ll either get a green tick (对号) sign or a red “×”. The green tick sign means you’ve earned $0.01 and the “×” means you have not earned money for the visit. You’ll get red×s when you have more than one website from the “Surf Ads” page open. When this happens, you get no credit.Earnings exampleYou click 10 ads per day=$ 0.1020 referrals (转送) click 10 ads per day=$2.00Your daily earnings=$ 2.10Your weekly earnings=$14.70Your monthly earnings= $63.00How to get paidIf you have at least $10.00 accumulated, you can click on your account balance within your state’s area and it will meet your request. At present, it only makes payments through “AlertPay”. It will soon be using other methods of payment.AlertPay is the payment processing solution that we use to pay members. Your AlertPay address is the e-mail address you use to register with AlertPay. You can get a free AlertPay account at http://alertpay..Method 2 will publish soon…25. The underlined word “accumulated” can be replaced by “_______”.A. wastedB. spentC. lostD. gathered26. What can we know from the passage?A. You’ll earn $ 0.10 if you cl ick 1 ad.B. You’ll get many green ticks if you have many websites open.C. You can get your payments through AlertPay.D. Your AlertPay account is not for free.27. What is the author’s purpose of writing this passage?A. To tell an interesting story.B. To introduce a surprising way to earn money.C. To solve a puzzling problem.D. To present exciting research.CFacial expressions carry meaning that is determined by situations and relationships. For example, in American culture (文化) the smile is in general an expression of pleasure. Yet it also has other uses. A woman’s smile at a police officer does not carry the same meaning as the smile she gives to a young child.A smile may show love or politeness. It can also hide true feelings. It often causes confusion (困惑) across cultures. For example, many people in Russia consider smiling at strangers in public to be unusual and even improper. Yet many Americanssmile freely at strangers in public places (although this is less mon in big cities). Some Russians believe that Americans smile in the wrong places; some Americans believe that Russians don’t smile enough. In Southeast Asian cultures, a smile is frequently used to cover painful feelings. Vietnamese people may tell a sad story but end the story with a smile.Our faces show emotions (情感), but we should not attempt to “read” people from another culture as we would “read” someone from our own culture. The fact that members of one culture do not express their emotions as openly as do members of another does not mean that they do not experience emotions. Rather, there are cultural differences in the amount of facial expressiveness permitted. For example, in public and in formal situations many Japanese do not show their emotions as freely as Americans do. When with friends, Japanese and Americans seem to show their emotions similarly.It is difficult to generalize about Americans and facial expressiveness because of personal and cultural differences in the United States. People from certain cultural backgrounds in the United States seem to be more facially expressive than others. The key is to try not to judge people whose ways of showing emotion are different. If we judge according to our own cultural habits, we may make the mistake of “reading” the other person incorrectly.28. What does the smile usually mean in the U.S.?A. Love.B. Politeness.C. Joy.D. Thankfulness.29. The author mentions the smile of the Vietnamese to prove that smile can ___ .A. show friendliness to strangersB. be used to hide true feelingsC. be used in the wrong placesD. show personal habits30. What should we do before attempting to “read” people?A. Learn about their relations with others.B. Understand their culturalbackgrounds.C. Find out about their past experience.D. Figure out what they will do next.31. What would be the best title for the text?A. Cultural DifferencesB. Smiles and RelationshipC. Facial ExpressivenessD. Habits and EmotionsDIt was Saturday. As always, it was a busy one, for “Six days shall you labor and do all your work” was taken seriously back then. Outside, Father and Mr. Patrick next door were busy chopping firewood. Inside their own houses, Mother and Mrs. Patrick were engaged in spring cleaning.Somehow the boys had slipped away to the back lot with their kites. Now, even at the risk of having Brother caught to beat carpets , they had sent him to the kitchen for string(线). It seemed there was no limit to the heights to which kites would fly today.My mother looked at the sitting room ,its furniture disordered for a thorough sweeping. Again she cast a look toward the window. “e on, girls ! Let’s take string to the boys and watch them fly the kites a minute.On the way we met Mrs. Patrick, laughing guiltily as if she were doing something wrong, together with her girls.There never was such a day for flying kites! We played all our fresh string into the boys’kites and they went up higher and higher .We could hardly distinguish the orange-colored spots of the kites. Now and then we slowly pulledone kite back, watching it dancing up and down it the wind, and finally bringing it down to earth, just for the joy of sending it up again.Even our fathers dropped their tools and joined us. Our mothers took their turn, laughing like schoolgirls. I think we were all beside ourselves. Parents forgot their duty and their dignity; children forgot their everyday fights and little jealousies. “Perhaps it’s like this in the kingdom of heaven,”I thought confusedly.It was growing dark before we all walked sleepily back to the houses. I suppose we had some sort of supper. I suppose there must have been a surface tidying-up, for the house on Sunday looked clean and orderly enough. The strange thing was, we didn't mention that day afterward. I felt a littleembarrassed .Surely none of the others had been as excited as I. I locked the memory up in that deepest part of me where we keep “the things that cannot be and yet they are.”The years went on, then one day I was hurrying about my kitchen in acity apartment, trying to get some work out of the way while my three-year-old insistently cried her desire to “go park ,see duck.”“I can’t go!” I said. “I have this and this to do, and when I’m through I’ll be too tired to walk that for.”My mother , who was visiting us , looked up from the peas she was shelling ,“It’s a wonderful day,” she offered，“really warm , yet there’s a fine breeze. Do you remember that day we flew kites?”I stopped in my dash between stove and sink. The looked door flew open and with it a rush of memories. “e on.” I told my little girl.“You’re right, it’s too good a day to miss.”Another decade passed. We were in the aftermath (余波)of a great war. All evening we had been asking our returned soldier, the youngest Patrick Boy, about his experiences as a prisoner of war. He had talked freely , but now for a long time he had been silent . What was he thinking of –what dark and horrible things?“Say!” A smile slipped out from his lips. “Do you remember --- no, of course you wouldn’t . It probably didn’t make the impression on you as it did on me.”I hardly dared speak.“ Remember what ?”“I used to think of that day a lot in POW camp(战俘营), when things weren’t too good. Do you remember the day we flew the kites?”32.Mrs. Patrick was laughing guiltily because she thought _______ .A. she was too old to fly kitesB. her husband would make fun of herC. she should have been doing her housework thenD. her girls weren’t supposed to play the boys’ game33. By “we were all beside ourselves”, the writer means that they all___________.A. felt confusedB. went wild with joyC. looked onD. forgot their fights34. What did the writer think after the kite-flying?A. The boys must have had more fun than the girls.B. They should have finished their work before playing.C. Her parents should spend more time with them.D. All the others must have forgotten that day.35. The youngest Patrick Boy is mentioned to show that _____ .A. the writer was not alone in treasuring her fond memoriesB. his experience in POW camp threw a shadow over his lifeC. childhood friendship means so much to the writerD. people like him really changed a lot after the war第二节七选五（满分10分）__36__ He had more money than he could ever spend, and he was admired and looked up to by his munity.__37__ He wasn't happy. All his life he had been pursuing happiness and striving(奋斗)for happiness, but he had never been able to find it.Then one day he heard about a hidden temple in Nepal that had a special room that contained the secret of happiness.__38__ After many years of searching and countless hardships he arrived there. He was tired and penniless, but he knew that none of that mattered now because he had found the temple. He asked a wise, smiling monk(和尚)if he could enter the special room. The monk agreed and showed him the stairs leading to the room.__39__ He stared into the room with sunlight screaming through the window and saw what he had e so far to find. There hanging on the wall was the secret of happiness. The man gazed at his reflection in the mirror and laughed.__40__ Happiness is a choice that we can make. Don't spend the restof your life searching the world for happiness then. Just look in the mirror and laugh. Just let the happiness flow from your heart, mind, and soul until it fills your life and the lives of all those around you.A．He immediately sold all that he owned and set out to find this hidden temple.B．The man found the secret of happiness at last.C．But he knew that something was missing in his life.D．He climbed them with legs shaking with expectation and slowly opened the door.E．There once was a very wealthy and successful man.F．It is time that we all realized that we were the secret of our own happiness.G．It was difficult to find the temple in Nepal.第三部分英语知识运用（共两节满分45分）第一节完型填空（满分30分）We have been driving in fog all morning, but the fog is lifting now.

2021届黑龙江省实验中学高三英语期中考试试卷及参考答案
2021届黑龙江省实验中学高三英语期中考试试卷及参考答案第一部分阅读（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项ABird migration is described as the regular, seasonal movement of bird populations from one place to another and back again.The longer days and rich food of the northern summer provide greater chances for birds to feed their young. The longer daylight hours and enormous food resources allow birds to lay larger eggs than those of related non-migratory species that remain in the tropics all year round. As the days shorten in autumn and the breeding period is over, the birds return to warmer regions where the available food supply differs little with the seasons changing. The advantages of migration make up for the high stress, physical exertion（消耗）, and other risks of the migration.Day length is the primary environmental factor that encourages birds to prepare for migration. They have an increased appetite which results in weight gaining, giving them the fat reserves that provide energy for their migratory flight. They also show more activity at night, which is when most birds migrate. While the length of day is the primary reason for migration, birds also respond to temperature changes. For example, if a spring is late and the temperature is lower than normal, birds delay migration; if a spring is early, birds also begin migration early.The timing of the migratory cycle must allow birds to arrive on the breeding site so that there is time tobuild a breeding place, mate, lay the eggs, and hatch the young before the rich food is available to feed the young in the nest. Similarly, if birds wait until the climate in their northern breeding grounds becomes tolerable(可忍受的), there will be no time togain the necessary weight that provides the energy needed for their southbound migration.1. Why do birds migrate to the north in spring?A The temperature in the south has risen.B. They like traveling and enjoy the journey.C. The summer there is warmer than that in the south.D. The environment there is more suitable for them to feed their baby birds.2. What are the two factors that cause birds to migrate?A. Day length and food supply.B. Night length and high stress.C. Temperature changes and daylength.D. Food supply and temperature changes.3. Which can be the best title for the text?A. Birds' LifeB. Birds' MigrationC. Birds' Breeding HabitsD. Birds' Living EnvironmentBFaming is a tradition among many in South Dakota, one that is not always easy to keep in the family. But one family has survived four generations and hopes to continue long into the future. The year was 1933 when Ed VanderWal's father first stepped onto the farm. Now 80 years later, Ed carries the passion(热情) his father gave him for farming every daywhile working the fields on the family farm in Volga.“Well, I was in the first grade when my dad moved here to this farm and I grew up on the farm. And that's what I was interested in doing more,” Ed said. But that love of working the land didn't stop with Ed. He's passed it down to his six sons. Some of them run farms of their own now, but two of them, Scott and David, still work side by side with their dad every day.Some people might worry that working sun up to sun down with family seven days a week would lead to a few family spats(争吵). But for the VanderWals, the constant time together works just fine.“When families work together on a farm, it's a challenge at times getting along. Everyone has to pull their weight and do their share. And that, of course, transfers from one generation to the next,” Scott said.And while they all get along like any family, with good days and bad, it's tradition that keeps each generation teaching the next.“But we taught them to work with animals at a young age, like most farmers do. So it's nice to be able to pass that tradition onto the next generation,” Scott said.The youngest generation of the VanderWals, Ed's three grandsons and a granddaughter, all started learning farming techniques at a young age.4. Why did Ed VanderWal devote himself to the farm?A. Because he grew up on the farm.B. Because he was affected by his father.C Because he could do nothing but work on the farm.D. Because he wanted to set a good example for his sons.5. What can we know from Paragraph 2?A. Managing a farm is a real challenge.B. Ed has divided his farms into six parts.C. Ed taught his sons how to work on farms.D. Scott and David own their own farms now.6. What can be inferred from the passage?A. The VariderWals have strict family rules.B. Ed's tradition has great effect on the local.C. Ed's grandchildren will drop out of school.D. Ed's farms have no lack of successors (继承者).7. What's the best title of the passage?A. A Faming Family.B. A Successful Farmer.C. The Agricultural 'Tradition.D. The Agricultural Generation.CJules Verne was born on 8 February1828 inthe French city of Nantes. From an early age, he had a fascination with exploration and discovery. When he was six, his teacher, Madame Sambin, told him stories about her husband, who disappeared while traveling the world on a ship 30 years before. She told her class that he was like Robinson Crusoe, a fictional castaway who lived on a desert island. Verne would later write stories about similar characters.In 1847, Verne was sent by his family to study law at a university in Paris, but he preferred to write novels, poems and plays. After graduating, he realized he wanted to write adventure stories based on science and technology.Thishad never been done before, but Verne was sure that it would be a success. His first story, Five Weeks in a Balloon, was published in September 1862. His career lasted for more than 40 years, during which time he wrote more than 60 gripping stories.To begin with, Verne wrote positive and optimistic books. Many of these were to be his most popular creations. Although some included fantastical elements, they were usually based in scientific fact, making thembelievable. These happy stories weren’t to last. As he got older, Verne became less confident in the idea that science and technology were always good for the planet. His books started to include more scientists who used technology for their own-sometimes evil - purposes. Verne died on 24 March 1905, but new books continued to be published until 1919. These stories were based on ideas Verne had written about while he was still alive, but featured new characters and plots created by his son, Michel.In the 20th century, his books were translated into more than 140 languages and several successful film versions were released. His creations have been recognized as an inspiration for many scientists and inventors. Many of the futuristic ideas from his most popular books have since come true.8. What is the purpose of Paragraph 1?A To show Verne’s discovery.B. To offer the background information of Verne.C. To tell of the adventure of Sambin’s husband.D. To explain how Verne began his writing career.9. What does the underlined word “This” refer to in Paragraph 2:A. Writing novels, poems and plays.B. Studying law.C. Graduating from university.D. Wring adventure stories.10. What can be learned about Verne’s late works?A. They covered happy elements.B. They were unbelievable stories.C. They revealed Verne’s doubt on science.D. They were partly written by Berne’s son.11. Which of the following best describes Verne?A. Talented and productive.B. Popular and caring.C. Optimistic and generous.D. Friendly and honest.D36-year-old Juan Dual likes to joke that he’s empty inside. Juan’s story began when he was only 13. It wasthen that he was diagnosed with a terrible disease, which left him with a 99.8% chance of developing cancer of the digestive system. At age 19, right after finishing high-school, Juan underwent a tough operation to take away his colon and rectum. Sadly, it was only the beginning. By age 28, Juan’s disease had affected his stomach and gallbladder so he had to go under the knife again.Having just recovered from several serious surgeries, Juan Dual decided to accept the invitation of some friends of his parents and travel to Japan. It was there that things started to change for the better. He didn’t speak a word of Japanese, so he spent most of his time walking his dog. One day, the dog pulled harder, and Juan realized that he was still able to jog, and he started to do just that.Months later, he found himself working in a small, peaceful town in England. There was little in terms of entertainment, but the town was surrounded by hills, so he devoted even more of his time to running. He befriended some like-minded folks and told them what he’d been through, and they seemed amazed at the fact that he was still alive, let alone that he was pushing himself to exercise. That’s when the idea of focusing on motivating others took root in his mind.With the help of Pepa, a nutritionist, Juan Dual slowly relearned how to eat to keep his energy level high enough to sustain him during physical activity. Eight months after his last operation, he finished the Barcelona half marathon in two hours. He then started training for mountain running and ultra-marathons.12. Why does Juan Dual say he is empty inside?A. Because he has no desire for anything.B. Because he doesn’t have much knowledge.C. Because he always suffers from great hunger.D. Because many of his organs have been removed.13. What made Juan Dual aware that he could still run?A. His parents’ support.B. A walk with his dog.C. The idea of challenging himself.D. His quick recovery from surgeries.14. When did Juan Dual decide to inspire others with his story?A. After finishing the Barcelona half marathon.B After being introduced to a nutritionist named Pepa.C. After sharing it with his friends in an English town.D. After making friends with people with similar sufferings.15. Which of the following words can best describe Juan Dual?A. Ambitious and intelligent.B. Inspiring and responsible.C. Unfortunate but determined.D. Confident but stubborn.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

He was frail and moved slowly, but he always had a glass of freshly squeezed orange juice on the kitchen table for me, along with an unsigned note reading, "Drink your juice." Such a gesture, I knew, was as far as Dad had ever been able to go in expressing his love. In fact, I remember, as a kid I had questioned Mom "Why doesn't Dad love me?" Mom frowned, "Who said he doesn't love you?" "Well, he never tells me," I complained. "He never tells me either," she said, smiling. "But look how hard he works to take care of us, to buy us food and clothes, and to pay for this house. That's how your father tells us he loves us."I nodded slowly. I understood in my head, but not in my heart. I still wanted my father to put his arms around me and tell me he loved me. Dad owned and operated a small scrap (片) metal business, and after school I often hung around while he worked. Dad fed scrap steel into a machine which looked like a giant pair of scissors with blades thicker than my father's body. If he didn't feed those terrifying blades just right, he risked serious injury. "Why don't you hire someone to do that for you?" Mom asked Dad one night as she bent over him and rubbed his aching shoulders . "Why don't you hire a cook?" Dad asked, giving her one of his rare smiles.Many years later, during my first daily visit, after drinking the juice my father had squeezed for me, I walked over, hugged him and said, "I love you, Dad." From then on I did this every morning. My father never told me how he felt about my hugs, and there was never any expression on his face when I gave them.4．The father always prepared a glass of orange juice for him because ________.A．that was the author's favoriteB．that was a gesture of loveC．the author was always complainingD．he was sure the author would be thirsty5．The author's father didn't hire a helper because ________.A．his job was too dangerousB．his job required high skillsC．he was not good at communicating with othersD．he wanted to save money6．We may infer from the passage that ________.A．the author quite understood his father as time went onB．the author's father lacked a sense of humorC．the author's father didn't love him very muchD．the author's father was too strict with him7．What would be the best title for the passage?A．I just couldn't understand my father B．Silent fatherly loveC．My father never loved me D．My hard-working fatherA mechanical bicycle lock, like a U-lock, should be attached to a solid and immobile object like a rack（架子）to ensure safety. However, these racks are quite rare and popular, thus often occupied and although a bicycle lock prevents the bike from being carried away, as it fixes single parts like the frame or the wheels, other parts can be dismounted. Therefore an electronic system, consisting of several sensors, can extend the range of protection with only few components and less effort.The ‘RFID Bikealarm’ is a motion sensitive electronic alarm system that is attached to the rails of a bike saddle（座椅）. Featuring omnidirectional（全方位）movement sensing to detect tiny movements or speeding-up and a small whistle emitting >120dB alarm sound to scare off potential thieves by arousing attention.The internal microcontroller uses a complex computer program to distinguish between a serious theft and harmless shaking movement as it senses and adapts to the environment. The usage is quite simple: identify yourself by holding the RFID tag close to the case to lock orunlock the alarm system signaled by feedback sounds. The RFID-technology is predestined for achieving this simple and secure interaction because it doesn’t require any complex system, interaction or other devices—just a small tag.The ‘RFID Bikcalarm’ is meant to be a useful add-on to mechanical bicycle locks as it massively extends the range of protection with few components. It is low-cost, durable and easy to use. The internal battery can be charged by USB．8．What does the underlined word “dismounted” in Paragraph 1 most probably mean? A．fixed up B．found outC．taken away D．locked up9．Which of the following shows the right position of the RFID Bikealarm on a bicycle? A．B．C．D．10．What will happen when someone steals a bike with the RFID Bikealarm?A．Noises will be made. B．The bike will be locked.C．The thief will be identified. D．Messages will be sent to the owner. 11．Which of the following is a feature of the RFID Bikealarm?A．It uses complex parts. B．It needs a rack to prevent bike theft. C．Its high price scares away its buyers. D．It works together with a mechanical lock.Scientists have always been interested in the high level of organization in ant societies. American researchers have watched ants build life-saving rafts to keep afloat during floods. They also have recorded how ants choose their next queen — the female whose job is to produce eggs.New technology is helping to improve researchers’ understanding of the insects. But there is still a lot to be learned.Fire ants living in Brazilian forests are perfectly at home in an environment where flooding is common. To save themselves, the insects connect their legs together and create floating rafts. Some ant rafts can be up to 20 centimeters wide.David Hu is an engineer with the Georgia Institute of Technology, also known as Georgia Tech, saying, "If you have 100 ants, which means 600 legs, 99 percent of those legs will beconnected to a neighbor. So they’re very, very good at keeping this network."David Hu and other Georgia Tech researchers wanted to study ants and the secret of their engineering. They froze ant rafts and then looked at them with the help of computed technology, or CT images. The pictures showed that larger ants serve in central positions to which smaller ants hold. The larger ants create pockets of air that keep the insects afloat.Scientists say small robots or materials that can change shape could be programmed in a similar way, working towards a shared goal.Researchers at North Carolina State University are also studying ants. They examined how Indian jumping ants choose the leader of the colony when they lose their top female or queen.12．The author takes fire ants as an example to tell us ________.A．how ants survive B．how ants seek foodC．how ants communicate D．how ants live together13．What can we know from what David Hu said in paragraph 4?A．Ants know the way to keep in touch in the river.B．Ants know the way to join together closely.C．Ants know the way to look for each other.D．Ants know the way to build a large raft.14．Why did the larger ants serve in central positions in their ant rafts?A．To stress their importance. B．To help all the ants float.C．To fight against the enemies. D．To defend their top female.15．What ideas do the ants give us according to the passage?A．We can use similar-shaped machines in flooding areas.B．We can combine small robots or materials into larger ones.C．Small and shape-changeable things might work just like ants do.D．Small robots or materials in the shape of ants can be made.二、七选五The increasing environmental problems and need for eco-friendly products and services are creating a new job section of green-collar jobs. 16． It is expected that by 2025 about 25% of the jobs in developed countries will be of green-collar jobs. Doesn’t the data look promising for the future?17． And jobs will pop up at every income level, from environmental manager to gardener. For example, many countries including the United States have understood that fossil fuels have negative effect on the environment which can later become a serious danger to mankind. 18．The increasing demand of newer resources has created the need for experts and researchers who can find better ways to deal with the ongoing needs. In addition, in order to meet the increasing demand of environment-friendly equipment, both green product designer and trained workers are needed. Management of environmental organizations also demands a large number of environmental managers.19．Internet is undoubtedly the best way to find information on almost any matter. Nowadays, different kinds of jobs are being posted online. Search through a couple of job websites to look for a bright future in energy conversion and recycling of waste management. Check regularly and find the right work for yourself. 20．A．People who read newspapers can also find different kinds of green-collar jobs. B．People who take green careers will be well paid.C．Where can you find green-collar jobs?D．Green-collar jobs have become a bright career chance for all.E.Many countries have realized the importance and need for energy-saving products and services.F.Therefore, possibilities are being explored to find alternatives to meet demands in a better way.G.Forget the blue–collar and white–collar categories.三、完形填空I don't know your name, and I'm guessing that you are about high school age.

Two years ago her son Jay-Teale, now 10, took up BMX(自行车越野赛).“I enjoyed watching him and thought I'd like to try it,” Simpson recalls. “But I didn't want to embarrass myself. I hadn't ridden for over 40 years.”Then she noticed a session for women and girls at Burgess Park BMX Track in Peckham, south-east London, where Jay-Teale trained. This season Simpson raced at the London BMX series and finished third in her category.“It was the most worrying experience of my life. But it was also exhilarating,” she says cheerfully. “My son is proud of me. We now share a real love for the sport. It has brought us cl oser together.”Since becoming part of the Olympic Games in 2008, the popularity of BMX has risen. A program introduced in London in 2011 by the sports development charity Access Sport has seen tracks built in several London regions, backed up with investment in coaching, and the program is being rolled out to Bristol.Mavolwane Wright's children Skye,11 and Xander,10 are sponsored riders who haverepresented Great Britain in every world championship since 2014. Mavolwane Wright says she was motivated to start BMX herself out of an interest aroused by watching so much of it. “It's an eye-opener to share your children's interests,” she explains. “You comprehend what they go through in a much more direct way. It adds another dimension to your relations hip.” It is also a high-impact sport and the risks are fairly obvious. “I totally get the fear,” says Emma Budgens, 51, a BMX exercise coach and cycling instructor. “It's the fear of doing something new, of getting hurt. But I say, ‘Come and give it a try.’ The chance of having an accident is slim, and you can spend time on the flat to improve your confidence.”（1）What can we learn about Pamela Simpson from the first two paragraphs?A.She tended to be inactive.B.She performed poorly in the race.C.She used to feel awkward in public.D.She trained at Burgess Park BMX Track.（2）What does the underlined word “exhilarating” in Paragraph 3 mean?A.Annoying.B.Inspiring.C.Thrilling.D.Challenging.（3）What benefit did Simpson and Wright get from BMX?A.More life skills.B.Stronger will.C.More confidence in themselves.D.Better parent-child relationships.（4）What does Emma Budgens think of BMX?A.Risky but actually secure.B.Demanding but open to all.petitive but instructive.D.Pleasant but time-consuming.Disease spread in many ways．An infected person can cough or sneeze on someone nearby, or they can spread germs through a handshake．But sometimes we pick up germs indirectly．A sick person might leave behind bacteria or viruses when they touch a door handle, for example．But what if those surfaces could clean themselves?Two teenagers from Hong Kong asked themselves the same question．Now they've developed a door handle that can kill germs on contact．The idea is simple: Every time the door is opened, the movement creates power that starts a germ﹣killing reaction on the handle．In lab tests, their system killed about 99.8percent of the germs that they spread onto lab dishes covered with their material．Research by others has shown that door handles in public areas are often home to lots of bacteria and viruses, notes 17﹣year﹣old Sum Ming（"Simon"） Wong．He and schoolmate Kin Pong （"Michael"） Li, 18, wanted to design a covering for door handles that would kill germs．After doing some research, they learned that a mineral called titanium dioxide is known tokill bacteria．It's already used in many products, from paints to desserts．To make their covering, the teenagers made the mineral into a very fine powder．Titanium dioxide kills bacteria best when lit by ultraviolet light, says Simon．UV light is found in sunlight．But UV light does not naturally shine on indoor handles or any used at night, so the teenagers light their door handle from within．To make sure the light reaches the coated surface, the teenagers made their door handle out of clear glass, Each end fits into a bracket （托架）．Inside one of the brackets is a strong light﹣emitting diode（LED）．From it comes UV light．And here's the interesting part: The power that makes the UVlight shine comes from opening and closing the door．The power from the door is then carried by wire to the LED inside the door handle．The door handle system, Michael and Simon say, might cost no more than about $13 （about 81yuan） to build．（1）．The ways diseases spread are mentioned at the beginning of the text to________．A.demonstrate how most diseases are spread indirectlyB.remind readers of the importance of cleaning their handsC.explain how to kill bacteria or viruses effectivelyD.help to describe a new invention that prevents diseases from spreading．（2）．Michael and Simon's door handle________．A.is too expensive for ordinary familiesB.is powered by the movement of its usersC.works better at night than in the daytimeD.is made of a metal that can take in UV light．（3）．The LED is placed inside the brackets to________．A.supply enough power to the handle systemB.produce titanium dioxide to kill bacteriaC.provide UV light to help titanium dioxide work betterD.direct the UV light in sunlight to the coated surface．（4）．What is the author's attitude toward Michael and Simon's door handle system？________A.CautiousB.CriticalC.EnthusiasticD.Disappointed．Differences in time zones complicate international phone calls． But even more important are different concepts of time and approaches to time in different cultures．People from the USA as well as other North Americans believe "Time is money"． Thisvalue of time is rooted in their ancestors． Early in the 17th century, their ancestors arrived on the Atlantic coast, a new, undeveloped land． To survive in the tough environment, they had to struggle day and night． Time meant so much to them that they had not even one second to waste． After decades of struggle, they developed the value of efficient use of time and passed it down． Thus far, the Americans are still eager to finish things quickly and are impatient with too reflective（深思熟虑的） people．In some countries, the American work style of speeding everything up will have no significance． In the Arab East, the more important you are, the faster service you get． Close relatives take absolute priority; non﹣relatives are kept waiting． In the Middle East, a deadline, which is often established to show the degree of urgency or importance of work, will do nothing but stop the Middle Easterners from working, because they consider it rude and overly demanding．Another aspect reflecting different concepts of time is the classification of monochronic﹣time and polychronic﹣time by Edward T Hall． People from monchronic（共时性的）cultures, such as the Germans, the Austrians, the Swiss and the Americans, do only one important thing at a time． In polychromic（多元时间模式的） cultures, people such as Arab, Asians and Latin Americans take an entirely opposite approach． They do several things at once． Time commitments, e．g． deadlines, schedules, are taken rather casually and changed often and easily． Miscommuication will arise when people from two cultures contact． Charlies Hawkins, a U．S． teacher, told me that many a time his appointments with Indians were interrupted constantly, not only by private phone calls, but also by long conversations with other people and even the neighbor's children, which displeased and even annoyed him．（1）Why did the ancestors of the North Americans believe "Time is money"？________A. They had to work efficiently to survive．B. They got the idea from their past generations．C. They didn't like to deal with reflective people．D. They formed the habit of finishing work ahead of time．．（2）What can be concluded from Paragraph 3？________A. Deadlines will make American people angry．B. In the Arab East， you'd better speed everything up．C. Middle Easterners can't deal with demanding work．D. People from the Arab East attach importance to relationship．．（3）What can we learn about people from monochronic cultures？________A. They tend to interrupt others constantly．B. They can't tolerate lateness or interruptions．C. They are more likely to change their schedules．D. They like to schedule several activities at the same time．．（4）Which of the following would be the best title for the text？________A. The importance of the diversity of cultureB. The relationship between efficiency and cultureC. Different time values in different culturesD. Monochronic culture and polychronic culture．三、七选五Five biggest career mistakes young workers makeWhen you begin to dive into the working world， there are a few common mistakes you should try to avoid．（1）_______Whether it is asking for a raise or just voicing an opinion， it is important to stand up for yourself in the office． As long as you do it in a respectful and professional way， your colleagues will be impressed by your confidence．Goofing off（混日子）You may think no one is looking at what you are doing all day， but the fact is your computer screen can be seen by all who pass by．（2）_______Even though your boss may seem relaxed， he is not going to appreciate an employee who seems to care more about his friend's status updates than his actual work．Dressing inappropriatelyOne thing that can either help or hurt you is how you present yourself． If you dress too casually， you could be sending the wrong message to your coworkers． Just because you have it doesn't mean the office is the place to wear it．（3）_______Being late for workYou could be the hardest worker in the office or do extra work at home， but if you are consistently late for work， you give off the impression that you are lazy．（4）_______Your professional reputation is a vital part of getting ahead in your industry and being late forwork might be unimportant， but could result in all your hard work being gradually ignored．Acting too confidentlyIt is a common problem with young professionals． It is sometimes hard for recent college graduates to change from top﹣of﹣the﹣food﹣chain seniors to professional "freshmen．" （5）_______In addition， you must know your place in the company．A． Talking unprofessionally．B． So it is important to limit the amount of time you spend on non﹣work﹣related sites．C． If you want to be taken seriously， dress seriously．D． Sometimes， it can be difficult to be taken seriously as a young professional．E． Now that you are out of the college， you must remember to be modest．F． People notice who stays late and who comes in early and will form an opinion about you．G． Being afraid to speak up．四、用单词的适当形式完成短文阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。

A friend had business dealings in the city of Reno, Nevada, and I was asked to accompany her on an overnight trip. While she conducted her business, I was aimlessly wandering down Virginia Street, heading into a most gloriously beautiful sunset. I had a strong wish to speak to someone on the street to share that beauty, but I couldn't make eye contact with anyone. Quickly I went into a department store and asked the lady behind the counter if she could come outside for just a minute. She looked at me as though I were from some other planet and said, "Well..." Surprisingly, she followed me out.When she got outside I said to her, "Just look at that sunset! Nobody out here was looking at it and I just had to share it with someone."For a few seconds we just looked. Then I said, "God's in his heaven and all's right with the world." I thanked her for coming out to see it and sharing the beauty.Four years later my situation had changed a lot. I had come to the end of a twenty-year marriage. I was alone and on my own for the first time in my life. One day, while my clothes were going around, I picked up a Unity Magazine and read an article about a woman who had been in similar situation. She had come to the end of a marriage, moved to a strange community, and the only job she could find was one she disliked: cosmetic sales in a department store. We had a lot in common.Then something happened to her that changed everything. She said a woman came into her department store and asked her to step outside to look at a sunset. The stranger had said, "God's in his heaven and all's right with the world.", and she had realized the truth in that sentence and that she simply had not been seeing it. From that moment on, she turned her life around.（1）Why did the writer go into a department store?A.She found it was boring with nobody talking to her.B.She wanted to buy something for her friend.C.She wanted to find somebody sharing the beautiful sunset.D.She thought it was his responsibility to share the natural beauty with others.（2）What does the sentence "God's in his heaven and all's right with the world" mean?A.We should be optimistic in the face of uncertainty.B.We should believe in God who can help us when we are in trouble.C.We should never hold the belief that God can change our life.D.We should be independent and enjoy ourselves in spite of difficulties.（3）What do you think finally changed the writer's attitude towards life?A.The old magazine she came across.B.The encouragement from the woman.C.The sunset they enjoyed four years ago.D.The woman's story.（4）What may be the best title for the text?A.Depending on yourselfB.Sharing beautyC.Struggling every dayD.Never giving up halfwayWhen Columbus "sailed the ocean blue in 1492" he wasn't looking for America． He was searching for a route from Spain to China; America just got in the way．The Spanish were after the riches of Asia: silk, dates, spices． Until later adventurers discovered how to sail to the Far East, trade with China depended on the Silk Road． The trade between China and Europe brought huge wealth, so the Spanish had a strong desire to find a new way to the East． Eventually a way appeared; as sea traffic developed from the 17th Century onwards, the overland route ________Now China is seeking to revive（复兴） the Silk Road and is preparing to invest 4 trillion pounds in new roads, rail links, oil pipelines and other basic facilities． It is hoped that goods can be shipped westwards by land far more quickly and economically than by sea．But the plan is also to attract more tourists． Actually, China does pretty well for tourists already; it's the world's fourth most visited country． Two cities﹣Beijing and Shanghai﹣possess the tourism business, with significant interest in destinations such as Xi'an and Chengdu． While Beijing is modern, cities such as Lanzhou and Dunhuang have one foot planted firmly in old China．Other places featured include Xi'an, the former capital of China, where you can come face to face with the Terracotta Army built to protect China's first emperor in the afterlife． From Lanzhou tour members take the train to Jiayuguan, China's western gateway and a key location on the Silk Road．There is also a fourday coach journey along the original Silk Route through the Xinjiang region to Kashgar． Along the way, at Kurla, you can visit the ruins of the Iron Fortress．（1）What does the underlined word"diminished" in Paragraph 2 mean？________A.Discovered．B.Disappeared．C.Disturbed．D.Displayed．．（2）What is the purpose of reviving the Silk Road？________A.To rebuild the ruins of the Iron Fortress．B.To construct new roads and other basic structures．C.To make transportation westwards faster and cheaper．D.To draw more inland tourists' attention to the western gateway．．（3）What can we learn about the Silk Road？________A.It is nothing but a trade route．B.It may destroy some cities' ancient style．C.It attracts foreign investment of 4 trillion．D.It promotes the tourism industry of China．．（4）What is the best title for the text？________A.The Charming of the Silk RoadB.The Function of the Silk RoadC.The Origin of the Silk RoadD.The Future of the Silk Road．Weather could power the next generation of smart windows． Researchers have created glass by harvesting energy from wind and precipitation（降水）．The approach offers an alternative to other smart windows powered by batteries, solar panels, and even standard power outlets． "The creation represents a new kind of renewable energy source", says Liming Dai, a nanomaterial engineer at Case Western Reserve University inCleveland, Ohio, who was not involved in the research．Smart glass, which changes its characteristics to block out light or heat, has been around for decades． Common examples include glare﹣fighting rearview（后视） car mirrors and windows that change color for energy savings and privacy． But many are expensive, and people are still looking for eco﹣friendly ways to power the windows． Batteries and plug﹣in outlets aren't apparently "green", and built﹣in solar panels can cloud or hide parts of the glass．In experiments, the glass produced up to 130 milliwatts per square meter, enough to power a pacemaker or a smart phone while it's asleep, the team reported online last month in ACS Nano． This output might suit many applications, such as being a power source for home or office electronics, says co﹣developer and scientist Zhong Wang of the Georgia Institute of Technology in Atlanta Since their first project in 2012, a light﹣up sidewalk powered by footsteps, he and his colleagues have miniaturized their generators to create everything from self﹣cleaning keyboards to sensors for security systems．But Wang and colleagues still have more work to do before this smart glass is ready for commercialization． Now, the glass has no way to store the energy it creates． To solve this problem, Dai says, transparent supercapacitors（超级电容器） could be placed into the glass without decreasing visibility．For now, the team wants to improve the energy efficiency of their nanogenerators． These tiny power plants can ________ about 60% of the mechanical energy that they encounter into electricity． "The output power is a constant goal, " Wang says． "Free energy surrounds us, and anything can happen if you take control of it．"（1）What is unique about the smart glass？________A. It can protect privacy．B. It is more expensive．C. It is powered by weather．D. It can block out light and heat．．（2）What is the main idea of paragraph 3？________A. The research history of Zhong Wang．B.

However, it is not clear whether the link between teen relationships and lifetime health is causal（因果的）-it could be that other factors, such as different family backgrounds, might contribute to both relationship problems in adolescence and to poor health in adulthood. Also, most research has focused on teens' relationships with their peers（同龄人）, rather than on their relationships with teachers.To explore those questions further, Kim analyzed data on nearly 20,000 participants from the Add Health study, a national study in theU.S.that followed participants from seventh grade into early adulthood. The participant pool included more than 3,400 pairs of siblings（兄弟姐妹）. As teens, participants answered questions, like “How often have you had trouble getting along with other students and your teachers?" As adults, participants were asked about their physical and mental health.Kim found that participants who had reported better relationships with both their peers and teachers in middle and high school also reported better physical and mental health in their mid-20s. However, when hecontrolled for family background by looking at pairs of siblings together, only the link between good teacher relationships and adult health remained significant.The results suggest teacher relationships are more important than previously realized and that schools should invest in training teachers on how to build warm and supportive relationships with their students. "This is not something that most teachers receive much training in," Kim said, “but it should be.”4. What does the underlined word “implications" in Paragraph 2 refer to?A. Recipes.B. Habits.C. Benefits.D. Risks.5. What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?A. Poor health in adolescence.B. Limitations of the previous research.C. Teens' relationships with their peers.D.

Miles has had some health problems. Though he had received more than thirty operations in a Jewish Hospital in New York, he would be back for more.Miles enjoyed spending his time in our VIP lounge looking at the entire wall filled with the pictures of many celebrities (名人) who often came to our office. We soon added Miles' picture to the wall among those celebrities.Among the celebrities, Miles like the country singer Garth Brooks best. Miles would just sit and stare atGarth's picture,Oneday, Mr. Brooks was waiting in the lounge for his flight. As he looked at the collection of photographs, Garth asked about the youngster with the big smile. We told him about Miles. We also told him how much Miles loved and respected (尊重) him. He nodded and left.About six months later, Garth was going to be performing in Kansas City and he asked our workers to help him get in touch with the family. He wanted Miles to be his guest. That evening, not only did Miles sit in the front row, but he and Garth also had a private meeting after the performance.Although Miles would receive many more treatments after that special evening, his smile greeted us with every following visit.

Ifyou have all the necessary skills, you could be one of the first colonists. Are you ready for the challenge?You won’t have to pay for the mission to Mars. Mars One has already received money from some donors and is hoping to get more from TV viewers who will become interested in the show where all applicants have a debate for the rare chances.The main responsibility of the first colonists is to create an artificial environment on Mars where there is no air to breathe and no land to farm. Scientists know it’s quite possible because something similar has already been done inAntarctica.Another problem is that space travel to Mars takes nearly a year to get to Mars and the colonists will live the rest of their lives there. When a human lives in an environment without gravity or with low gravity for a long time, the systems in the body weaken. Luckily, spinning (旋转) the spaceship can create artificial gravity, and artificial gravity can ease these problems. It will also be difficult for Mars colonists to be far from home, living in small spaces, and seeing the same people over and over. Colonists with depression could put the mission in danger. Fortunately, a few years ago, a joint Russian and European project called the Mars500 Mission studied people’s reactions in a Mars-like environment. It is viewed as a great success because scientists were able to see how people handle emotional and physical stresses.Recent studies show that seven percent of people would want to go on such an adventure.Mars One will soon start accepting its first colonists. Are you interested?12. What do we know about the applicants to Mars from the first two paragraphs?A. They will land on Mars in 2023.B. They can get money from donors.C.

Build labs inAntarctica.C. Spin the spaceship.D. Start the Mars500Mission.14. What can the life of the first colonists be like according to the passage?A. Difficult and dangerous.B. Different but adaptable.C. Challenging and unbearable .D. Acceptable but depressing.15. What’s the best title for the text?A. Mars: our final destination?B. Ready to be Mars’ colonists?C. Space travel: a thrilling adventure?D. Are you a qualified Mars astronaut?第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

The US government has long viewed globally competitive Chinese high-tech companies including Huawei as a threat and done whatever it could to crack down on（打击）them in the name of “national security”.The US government has not introduced any specific policy against TikTok only threatened it through a number of unclear statements.According to the latest media reports, Microsoft is prepared to press ahead withthe negotiations to take over TikTok’s US operations and complete the negotiations by Sept 15, following talks between Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella and US President Donald Trump.This means that TikTok will have to hand its fate over to some unpredictable power, and even have to sell its assets without the option of setting a price.The US government has failed to find a reasonable legal excuse to deal with TikTok. All private data of TikTok’s US users are stored in the US and are unlikely to be transferred. Considering the US government is trying to deal with TikTok in a political way, TikTok should consider incorporating（合并）the dispute into the US legal process to assert（坚持）its legal rights and interests.TiKTok’s core value lies in its unique algorithms,a product of artificial intelligence that represents the expertise of Chinese engineers and programmers with high-value intellectual property.The US government’s move, which has forced ByteDance to sell TikTok to a US company, is similar to a forced technology transfer and an example of the US’ openseizureof Chinese intellectual property.If ByteDance sells TikTok to a US company for “security reasons", that would set a dangerous precedent, motivating other countries where TikTok operates to follow the US administration's example and cause a chain reaction.ByteDance is a young Chinese private company that cannot deal with a political game played by the US. But as a Chinese company that has gone global, ByteDance has reasons to take up legal means to defend its legal rights. The Chinese government can also consider examining whether the technology transfer in the deal violates China’s law and harms the country’s national interests.4. What is the most valuable as for TikTok?A. Its global popularity.B. Its artificial intelligence.C. Its registered global mobile internet app.D. Its private data of TikTok’s worldwide users.5. Why does the American government force the Chinese company to hand over TikTok’s US operations to a US company?A. Out of so-called political reasons.B. Out of so-called debt reasons.C. Out of so-called technical reasons.D. Out of so-called security reasons.6. What does the underlined word “seizure”probably mean in Para. 8?A. An untrue spoken statement about someone.B. The use of legal authority to take sth from sb.C. The crime of stealing sth from a person or place.D. The act of trying to hurt somebody using physical violence.7. What can be the best title for the news report?A. TikTok must defend its rights legallyB. TikTok is seen as a threat to FacebookC. ByteDance has to sell TikTok to a US companyD. ByteDance agrees to transfer technologyCThe COVID-19 vaccination（接种疫苗）rate in the US has fallen to newlows in recent weeks, threatening President Joe Biden’s goal of having 70 percent of American adults with at least one shot by July 4.With just less than one month from July 4, the current vaccination rate will put the US at somewhere between 67 percent and 68 percent of the adult population with at least one dose（剂量）by Independence Day. To reach 70 percent by July 4, around 1.6 percent of the population needs to get their first dose per week from now until July 4.The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention（CDC）reported last week that 63 percent of adults hadreceived their first dose of a COVID-19 vaccine. That was up slightly from 62 percent from the report a week before. The additional 1 percent of adults completing their first dose is the lowest since the CDC started tracking the vaccination rate in mid-February.On average, fewer than 1 million shots are given out per day, a decline of more than two-thirds from the peak of 3.4 million in April, The Washington Post reported. In South Carolina, about 71,000 residents got a shot in the week leading up to June 3, compared to a high of nearly 300,000 in one week in early April, according to data from the CDC.The slowdown is moreprominentacross the South and Midwest. Twelve states have seen vaccinations fall to 15 daily shots per 10,000 residents. Less than a quarter of black Americans had received their first COVID-19 shot as of June 7.James Hildreth, CEO of Meharry Medical College, told Politico, “We need to make a stronger effort to bring the vaccine to the communities, rather than relying on the communities to come to vaccination centers.”The sharp decline in vaccination began in mid-April when federal officials temporarily stopped the use of the Johnson＆Johnson vaccine while they investigated rare blood-clotting（凝血）reactions.The “low-hanging fruit—thosepeople who ly want to get vaccinated without you telling them anything” have already been vaccinated, which has led to the slowdown, Dr Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, said on a White House-organized call with community leaders last week, according to the Post.8. What can we learn from the text?A. Dr Anthony Fauci is in charge of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.B. In South Carolina, about 300,000 residents got a shot in the week leading up to June 3C. In mid-April federal officials temporarily suspended the Johnson＆Johnson vaccine.D. Less than one fourth of Americans had received their first COVID-19 shot by June 7.9. Which of the following can replace the underlined word “prominent” in Para. 5?A. Meaningful.B. Obvious.C. Inspiring.D. Complex.10. How can America increase the COVID-19 vaccination rate according to James Hildreth?A. By giving the vaccine shot at the communities.B. By offering the vaccine to the public for free.C. By frequently informing the public of the vaccine.D. By urging the communities to come to vaccination centers.11. What can be the best title for the text?A. Biden wishes to have 70% of adults with one shot by July 4B. CDC has been trackingthe vaccination rate since mid-FebruaryC. Some Americans need to get vaccinated without telling them toD. Biden’s July 4th vaccine goal may be missedDPopularization has in some cases changed the original meaning of emotional (情感的) intelligence. Many people now misunderstand emotional intelligence as almost everything desirable in a person's makeup that cannotbe measured by an IQ test, such as character, motivation, confidence, mental stability, optimism and “people skills.” Research has shown that emotional skills may contribute to some of these qualities, but most of them move far beyond skill-based emotional intelligence.We prefer to describe emotional intelligence as a specific set of skills that can be used for either good or bad purposes. The ability to accurately understand how others are feeling may be used by a doctor to find how best to help her patients, while a cheater might use it to control potential victims. Being emotionally intelligent does not necessarily make one a moral person.Although popular beliefs regarding emotional intelligence run far ahead of what research can reasonably support, the overall effects of the publicity have been more beneficial than harmful. The most positive aspect of this popularization is a new and much needed emphasis (重视) on emotion by employers, educators and others interested in promoting social well-being. The popularization of emotional intelligence has helped both the public and researchers re-evaluate the functionality of emotions and how they serve people adaptively in everyday life.Although the continuing popular appeal of emotional intelligence is desirable, we hope that such attention will excite a greater interest in the scientific and scholarly study of emotion. It is our hope that in coming decades, advances in science will offer new perspectives (视角) from which to study how people manage their lives. Emotional intelligence, with its focus on both head and heart, may serve to point us in the right direction.12. What is a common misunderstanding of emotional intelligence?A. It can be measured by anIQ test.B. It helps to exercise a person’s mind.C. It includes a set of emotional skills.D. It refers to a person’s positive qualities.13. Why does the author mention “doctor” and “cheater” in paragraph 2?A. To explain a rule.B. To clarify a concept.C. To present a fact.D. To make a prediction.14. What is the author’s attitude to the popularization of emotional intelligence?A. Favorable.B. Intolerant.C. Doubtful.D. Unclear.15. What does the last paragraph mainly talk about concerning emotional intelligence?A. Its appeal to the public.B. Expectations for future studies.C. Its practical application.D. Scientists with new perspectives.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。
2021届黑龙江省实验中学高三英语期中考试试题及参考答案
2021届黑龙江省实验中学高三英语期中考试试题及参考答案第一部分阅读（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项AIn the 1994 filmForrest Gump, there’s a famous saying, “Life is like a box of chocolates; you never know what you’re gonna get.” The surprise is part of the fun. Now blind box toys are bringing the magic of surprise to online shopping.A blind box toy is hidden inside uniform packaging but invisible from the outside. You don’t know what will be inside, although the toys typically come from pop culture, ranging from movies to comics and cartoons.Blind boxes have caught on since they were first introduced fromJapantoChinain 2014. According to a 2019 Tmall report, the mini-series of Labubu blind box, designed byHong Kong-born Kasing Lung, was named Champion of Unit Sales with 55,000 sold in just 9 seconds during the Singles Day shopping event. Most customers for blind boxes are young people aged 18 to 35.According to The Paper, blind box toys are popular in part because of their cute appearances. The typically cute cartoon figurines come in miniature sizes, making them suitable for display almost anywhere.Even if blind boxes are not their top choice for decorations, the mystery and uncertainty of the process also attracts people. It’s the main reason why people buy blind boxes one after another.“Fear of the unknown is always a part of the box-opening process,” said Miss Cao, 24, who lives and works inShenyang. Speaking to Sina News, she said: “Until you open all the boxes, you cannot know what it is inside.”Opening a blind box is a delightful little surprise for our mundane daily lives, something small but fun to wait for each day, week or month. When people open this simple little box, they may be disappointed, but the uncertainty is part of the fun. People will open more blind boxes and hope for a better outcome.When someone re-makesForrest Gump, don't be surprised if he says, “Life is like a blind box...”1.

Mystery and uncertainty.3. What can we learn from the passage?A. Blind box became popular in 2019 after being first introduced fromJapantoChina.B. Blind box toys typically originated in pop culture, varying from movies to cartoons.C. Blind box toys was designed and named by Hong Kong-born Kasing Lung.D. When people open this simple little box, they will feel disappointed.BA 24-year-old female space commander has become a viral sensation on Chinese social media for her work.Zhou Chengyu was in charge of the rocket connector system---described as a vital role. Her story in particular has drawn the public’s attention given her young age. Social media users have been celebrating her brilliance and referring to her as pride of the country.Being the youngest of the team, Zhou Chengyu was born in1996 intheprovinceofGuizhou. She is certainly not “old” enough compared with her colleagues, but she is known at work as "Big Sister” as a sign of respect. Once in a 3-km running contest, she actually beat half of her male counterparts. Although work shifts are not uncommon at the Wenchang Spacecraft Launch Site, each shift requires tremendous courage because of the different background knowledge. However, for Zhou Chengyu, she experienced multiple positions in 5 launching tests and now she is the youngest commander at the site.Despite carefulness and high responsibility at work, she is just like her peers in normal life. Eating snacks and shopping are her favorite free-time activities. Her high school teacher remembers her as tough and determined. “She always had a dream of becoming scientist,” said her physics teacher.According to her colleague, Zhou Chengyu was very surprised when she found out shewent viralonline. She said that she was happy when she saw people online regarding her as the pride of the country, and yet she kept saying that she was “nobody but normal worker at a launch site” and there are a lot more people just like her going unnoticed while doing the hardest job to guarantee a better future for the Chinese space program. She also said that she wished to remain her current status and continue doing her work with or without the popularity.4. What makes Zhou Chengyu the pride of the country?A. Her young age.B. Her vital role in her work.C. Her great courage.D. Her responsibility at work.5. Which of the following words can best describe Zhou Chengyu?A. Learned and confident.B. Respectable and generous.C. Patient and responsible.D. Modest and determined.6. Which of the following can replace the underlined words in paragraph 5?A. took prideB. made a contributionC. became a hitD. made an achievement7. What can be the best title for the text?A. A Young PrideB. A Successful ColleagueC. An Extraordinary DreamD. An Ambitious CommanderCThe first patient who died on my watch was an older man with a faulty heart. We tried to slow it down with treatment, but it suddenly stopped beating completely. Later, whenever I would have a case like that one, I found myself second-guessing my clinical management. However, it turns out that thinking twice may actually cause more harm than good.In a working paper, Emory University researchers found that when doctors delivering a baby have a bad result, they are more likely to switch to a different delivery method with the next patient, often unnecessarily and sometimes with worse results.Because doctors make so many decisions that have serious consequences, thefalloutfrom second-guessing appears especially large for us. A 2006 study found that if a patient had a bleed after being prescribed (开药) warfarin, the physician was about 20% less likely to prescribe later patients the blood thinner that prevents strokes (中风). However, if a patient was not on warfarin and had a stroke physicians were still no more likely to prescribe warfarin to their other patients.These findings highlight interesting behavioral patterns in doctors. In the blood-thinner study, doctors were more affected by the act of doing harm (prescribing a blood thinner that ended up hurting doctors were more affected by the act of doing harm(prescribing a blood thinner that ended up hurting a patient) and less affected by letting harm happen (not prescribing a blood thinner and the patient having a stroke). Yet a stroke is often more permanent and damaging than a bleed.But this phenomenon is not unique to medicine. ''Overreaction to Fearsome Risks'' holds true for broader society.For instance, sensational headlines about shark attacks on humans in Florida in 2001 caused a panic and led the state to prohibit shark-feeding expeditions. Yet shark attacks had actually fallen that year and, according to the study, such a change was probably unnecessary given the extremely small risk of such an attack happening.Humans are likely to be influenced by emotional and often irrational (不理性的) thinking when processinginformation, bad events and mistakes. As much as we don't want to cause an unfortunate event to happen again, we need to be aware that a worst situation that can be imagined doesn't necessarily mean we did anything wrong. When we overthink, we fail to rely on thinking based on what we know or have experienced. Instead, we may involuntarily overanalyze and come to the wrong conclusion.I have treated dozens of patients who presented with the same illnesses as my first patient, who died more than a year ago. Instead of second-guessing myself, I trusted my clinical instinct (本能) and stayed the course. Every one of those patients survived. You should trust your instinct in your life, too.8. The first two paragraphs suggest that________.A. bad medical outcomes affect doctorsB delivering babies can be difficult workC. some doctors are not very experiencedD. doctors sometimes make silly mistakes9.

Then he ran back to the main room,making a lot of noise with his feet.He ran in circles around the table,pulled out one of the sideboard drawers,and slammed it shut.“Just a minute,I can't find them,I don't know where Mama put them,"he yelled,then dragged the chair across the room,climbed onto it,and reached up to the top of the shelf.“I found them!”he shouted triumphantly.Then he got down from the chair, pushed it back to the table,and calmly walked to the door and opened it.“Shut the door,darling,"the woman said softly."You were perfect.”The child didn't hear what she said.He stood in the middle of the room,staring at the closed bathroom door.“Shut the door, the woman repeated in a tired flat voice.Every evening she repeated the same words,and every evening he stared at the closed bathroom door.At last it opened.The man was pale and his clothes were streaked with lime and dust.He stood there,eyes blinking in that funny way.“Well?How did it go?"asked the woman.“I still need more time.He has to look for them longer.I slip in sideways allright,but then...It's so tight in there that when I turn...And he's got to make more noise-he should stamp his feet louder."The child didn't take his eyes off him.“Say something to him,"the woman whispered.＂You did a good job,little one,"he said mechanically.“That's right,”the woman said,“you're really doing a wonderful job,darling. You act just like a grown-up.And you do know that if someone should really ring the doorbell when Mama is at work,everything will depend on you?And what will you say when they ask you about your parents?”“Mama's at work.”“And Papa?"He was silent.“And Papa?"the man screamed in terror.The child turned pale.“And Papa?”the man repeated more calmly.“He's dead,”＂the child answered and threw himself at his father,who was standing right beside him,but already long dead to the people who would really ring the bell.12. What does the underlined sentence in Para.5 mean?A. The family needed to practise the game for another 2 or 3 minutes.B. There was still 2 or 3 minutes left before someone knocked at the door.C. They would become too sleepy to play the game 2 or 3 minutes later.D. The father needed 2 or 3 more minutes before the kid opened the door.13.

Because he met many barriers on his way to where the key was.14. In Para.12,why did the mother repeat“shut the door”in a tired,flat voice, instead of the previous soft one?A. She was angry because her son didn't close the door as he had been told to.B She felt anxious because she knew her husband would be annoyed at the boy again.C.

"Nothing is ever easy?The following day, as I tried to complete my day's work, I happened to notice a bumblebee （大黄蜂）on the skylight （天窗）.The skylight was particularly high up, but I thought removing the bee would take no more than five minutes. An hour later, the bee still remained. All that had changed was that theliving room was a mess and that 1 was dizzy from looking up into the sunlight. Idid not expect to waste an hour on an insect so tiny, but by doing so, I understood what my grandfather meant.It is not only time that we tend to underestimate - we don’t account for unexpected costs. We often imagine what can work in our favor5 but we seldom think of all the negative things that could a fleet us. However, it is important to remember that your day or week or year might nor go as planned, and that is completely normal. It is perfectly acceptable to feel challenged 一 even at a task you thought was simple 一 because that is part of life.If you can accept that nothing will ever be easy, then lite might seem slightly more manageable. In middle school. I thought high school might be easier because I could choose the classes I wanted to take. In high school I thought college might be easier because I could have a schedule （计划）best suited for myself. Yet each time, I was both wrong and disappointed. After accepting that school wouldn't （and shouldn't） be easy. I found myself with a more positive altitude and improved results.Of course, there should be preparations made to account tor expenses or time. Doing so can only help you accomplish your goals in a better way. However, there is no need to beat ourselves up when something stands in our path. Maybe we cannot see a bee coming our way, but we can always give ourselves the extra lime to catch it.4.Why did the author mention his experience of removing a bee?A.To share something unforgettable with us.B.To lead us to what the author learned from it.C.To show the unexpected costs it caused.D.To tell us how easy it is to waste our rime.5.

It's a very simple but incredibly effective method to protect oneself from a variety of harmful things. In fact, masks have been helping mankind for centuries. Let's take a look at some mask-related history.1st centuryIn that era, many people in Roman Empire worked underground in mines to support their families. But most of them suffered from and even eventually died of respiratory （呼吸的） illnesses. To address this problem, Pliny the Elder （23-79 AD）, a Roman philosopher and naturalist, recommended the use of animal bladder （膀胱）skins to stop dust from being breathed in. Although primitive, his idea was considered the very first recorded mask invention.16th centuryEarly inventions did not stop with Pliny. Many centuries later, Italian artist and inventor Leonardo da Vinci （1452-1519）, proposed using a woven cloth dipped in water over the face to protect against the poisonous chemicals.19th centuryThe design of the mask look a big step forward in the 19th century. In 1848, American Lewis Hassley became the first person to patent （注册专利）a protectivemask for miners, which was a milestone in face mask history. Masks at this stage were similar to gas masks. Later, in 1897, Polish-Austrian doctor Johann von Mikulicz-Radccki designed a simple mask composed of one layer of gauze （纱中1）, recommending medical workers to wear it to prevent infection. That was the first recorded use of a surgical mask.20th centuryIn 1910. an epidemic broke out in Northeast China. Chinese doctor Wu Liande designed a cheap face mask called "Wu's mask". Made of two layers of surgical gauze, it could be wrapped around the back of the head and tied in a knot. This mask was praised by experts around the world, as it was simple to manufacture （制作）and had a low production cost. Modem explorationWith several outbreaks of infectious diseases and the flu. and the rise of pollution caused by industrial waste, the materials in masks have continued to evolve to better protect its wearer. For example, in 2012 when China suffered from smog, mask models such as N95 and KN90. which can filter out this fine particulate （微粒）mailer, became highly popular. In the future. masks will continue to improve, hopefully so will the habits of humans.8.According to the text, why were masks invented?A.To reduce the risk of infection.B.To protect miners from dust.C.To indicate patients with respiratory illnesses.D.To protect workers from harmful chemicals.9.What was considered a milestone in face mask history?ing a woven cloth instead of animal skins.B.Getting a patent on protective masks for miners.C.The invention of surgical masks in 1897.ing more than one layer of surgical gauze.10."Wu's mask" grew popular around the world because.A.it could be used multiple timesB.it was simple for people to wearC.it was cheap and easy to manufactureD.it could better protect people from smog11.What is the text mainly about?A.The evolution of masks.B.The benefits of using masks.C.A comparison of different masks.D.The roles masks played at different times.DDuring the outbreak of novel coronavirus, cities are locked down and borders are closed. Science, on the contrary, is becoming more open. And this "open science”is already making a difference.Soon after the epidemic started in China, a research team from Fudan University in Shanghai successfully sequenced （测定序列）the DNA of the virus. But they didn't keep the information to themselves. Instead, they placed the sequences on GenBank, an open-access data platform, so researchers around the world could download them for free and start studying the virus.Due to this openness, pharmaceutical companies across the globe arc now able to work at the same time to develop a vaccine （疫苗）."There may be room for multiple different vaccines for different purposes and different age groups,” Amesh Adalja, a senior scholar at the Johns Hopkins University Center for Health Security in the US, told Al Jazccra. "The bigger menu we have of vaccines, the more resilient （有适应力的）we'll be against coronavirus outbreaks in the future."Major drug companies around the world arc also sharing their study results. Remdesivir, a drug originally developed by US company Gilead Sciences to treat Ebola, is found to be promising in fighting against the novel coronavinis. Currently, two trials of the drug arc already underway in China, and the results might be available as soon as April, according to The Verge.This openness in science is going to be even more important in the future. “With climate change, increasing globalization, and population shifts, epidemics will not go away, and might even become more frequent,”Dan Barouch, a Harvard Medical School professor, told Harvard Magazine.He said, “No one group can do everything. It has to be a coordinated approach. But I do think that the world has a greater sense of readiness this time to develop knowledge, drugs, and therapeutics （疗法）very rapidly.”Every epidemic is indeed a crisis, but it can also be a learning opportunity. One redeeming （补偿的）factor of the COVID-19 outbreak is that it is helping science adapt for the better.12.What does the article mainly talk about?A.Coordinated efforts to fight the epidemic.B.Something positive we've learned from the epidemic.C.The significance of openness and sharing of scientific knowledge.D.What needs to be done to prevent future epidemics.13.What is the positive effect of the research team from Fudan University placing the genetic sequence of the virus onto GenBank?A.They alerted the world to the danger of the virus.B.They helped remove people's fear of the virus.C.They showed the world how to produce a vaccine.D.They invited collective efforts worldwide to develop a vaccine.14.What is the author's purpose of mentioning Remdesivir in the text?A.To introduce a possible cure for the epidemic.B.To compare the treatment of Ebola and the novel coronavirus.C.To prove that many drug companies readily share their discoveries-E.To show that the novel coronavirus will soon be contained.14.Which of the following would Dan Barouch probably disagree with?A.Epidemics will be less frequent thanks to scientific development.B.The world is becoming better prepared to deal with epidemics.C.No single group can fight against the epidemics independently.D.The increase in globalization may worsen future epidemics.第二节（共5小题；每小原2分，漓分1吩）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项.选项中有两项为多余选项。
