2018年浙江省宁波市镇海中学高考英语模拟试卷(5月份)-教师用卷
2018年浙江省宁波市镇海中学高考英语模拟试卷（5月份）副标题一、阅读理解（本大题共10小题，共25.0分）AThe quality of our seafood has been in the news a lot lately．A new study has found that people who eat seafood are also eating plastic - 11，000 pieces of microplastic per year to be exact．Researchers at the University of Ghent in Belgium found that seafood eaters are consuming plastic at a concerning rate．"Per serving of mussels （贻贝），which contains about 300 grams of mussel meat，you get 300 pieces of plastic inside your body，" researchers wrote．Researchers don't yet know the implications of eating microplastic，but they worry that it could have negative consequences on our health．While we don't know what microplastic does yet to humans，we do know what it does to sea animals．In earlier studies，scientists have found that when fish eat microplastics，it prevents their growth and changes their feeding patterns．In fact，fish will stop eating natural sourcesof nutrients，and only go for plastic．When you're done using plastic，a small portion （部分）may be recycled．However，more than likely it's in a landfill or making its way towards the ocean．Once rubbish hits the water，sea creatures may mistake it for food．This often leads to poisoning or death．If they get caught for human's food，the plastic may very well make its way back to you - on your dinner plate．According to a study published in Science magazine，eight million tons of plastic go into our waterways every year．The problem is so serious that scientists say that by 2050 the weight of plastic in our oceans will outweigh fish．And just because it's out of sight，it doesn't mean it should be out of mind．There's no immediate way to prevent microplastic from ending up in your body．However，you can help reduce the amount of plastic reaching rivers，lakes and oceans in the first place．You can make a difference with your choices every day．Even small changes will add up．While your dinner may contain microplastic，you can help prevent the future generations from having that same problem．1.What does the underlined word "implications" probably mean？______A. Real functions．B. Potential benefits．C. Logical reasons．D. Possible effects．2.What do we learn about microplastics in the oceans？______A. They make fish grow quickly．B. Fish are sick and tired of them．C. Fish tend to be addicted to them．D. They don't affect fish's eating habits．3.What's the writer's purpose of writing the last paragraph？______A. To give us a final warning．B. To appeal to us for action．C. To offer us a brief summary．D. To send us a gentle reminder．【答案】【小题1】D 【小题2】C 【小题3】B【解析】1．D．词义猜测题．根据文章内容，Researchers don't yet know the implications of eating microplastic，but they worry that it could have negative consequences on our health．研究人员并不知道吃塑料微粒可能造成的潜在影响，但是他们担心食用塑料微粒对人的身体有害，结合选项，故选D．2．C．细节题．根据文章内容，In earlier studies，scientists have found that when fish eat microplastics，it prevents their growth and changes their feeding patterns．In fact，fish will stop eating natural sources of nutrients，and only go for plastic．早期研究表明，当鱼吃了塑料微粒，它们会停止生长以及改变它们的饮食习惯．吃多了塑料微粒，鱼就不吃其他东西了．说明它们对塑料微粒有瘾，结合选项，故选C．3．B．推理题．根据文章内容，However，you can help reduce the amount of plastic reaching rivers，lakes and oceans in the first place．You can make a difference with your choices every day．Even small changes will add up．While your dinner may contain microplastic，you can help prevent the future generations from having that same problem．人们应该帮助减少塑料的使用，帮助减少其对环境的影响，每一个小小的动作都会是有大大的影响的，该段落就是为了呼吁大家要减少塑料的使用，结合选项，故选B．本文章主要讲述了人们现在大量的食用海产品也是在食用塑料，因为海洋生物很多食用了塑料，研究人员担心这样对人们的身体是有危害的，因此呼吁人们减少塑料的使用，以保护环境保护自己．做这类题材阅读理解时要求考生对文章通读一遍，做题时结合原文和题目有针对性的找出相关语句进行仔细分析，结合选项选出正确答案．推理判断题也是要在抓住关键句子的基础上合理的分析才能得出正确答案，切忌胡乱猜测，一定要做到有理有据．BI always wanted to go to college，even though no one in my family had ever done it and there was no money for tuition．My parents encouraged me to attend the state school that accepted me．This would mean heavy debt for all of us，but they wanted me to earn a college degree．I went there in July，but spent the entire three days with a strong feeling that it was not where I was supposed to be．The school was huge and the experience impersonal．While I was upset，I thought of a private school in my town．It was extremely expensive for us．My father had worked there on and off，continuously contracted out to paint many classrooms and offices．I went home and told my father about my new wishes．He was speechless．He sat with his head in his hands，not believing what I was proposing now．After a long while my father told me he would inquire about an application at the school．What I did not know was that my father had gone to the president of the college himself．My father had painted his house．He went to ask the president not only if I stood a chance of being accepted，but if he might honor all the years my father had worked on the college and treat him like an actual employee in this one instance．This was a very meaningful request，since college employees were allowed to have their children's tuition waived （免除）．When my father came home with not only the news that I had been accepted，but I was goingto go to school at no charge．I couldn't believe it．All these years later，I still have no idea why that man chose to bestow （授予）such tremendous kindness on my family and me．They say God puts it on our hearts to do good deeds for each other．Perhaps it was like that for him．All I know is that if I hadn't listened to my heart on that other college campus，I would have missed out on the greatest blessing of my life．4.Why did the author choose the private school instead of the state school？______A. His father has worked in the private school．B. The tuition of the state school was very high．C. He felt very uncomfortable at the state school．D. He preferred the private school in his hometown．5.How did the father feel after hearing the author's new thought？______A. Excited and satisfied．B. Surprised and confused．C. Doubtful and opposed．D. Disappointed and angry．6.Why did the author's father want to be treated like an actual employee？______A. To get more painting work．B. To make the author accepted．C. To win some spiritual privileges．D. To enjoy some economic benefits．7.What message does the author want to convey by sharing his experience？______A. Have the courage to chase your dreams．B. Try to help others whenever you can．C. Don't be content with things as they are．D. Never allow an opportunity to slip past．【答案】【小题1】C 【小题2】B 【小题3】D 【小题4】A【解析】1．C．细节理解题．根据第三段的句子While I was upset， I thought of a private school in my town．可知，作者感到在公立学校很不舒服，所以选择一个私立大学．故选C．2．B．推理判断题．根据第四段的句子I went home and told my father about my new wishes． He was speechless． He sat with his head in his hands， not believing what I was proposing now．可知，作者的父亲在听完作者的新想法后感到惊讶又困惑．故选B．3．D．细节理解题．根据第六段的句子This was a very meaningful request， since college employees were allowed to have their chi ldren's tuition waived （免除）．可知，作者的父亲想被当成真正的员工对待，因为他想享受一些经济福利．4．A．推理判断题．根据文章的句子 All I know is that if I hadn't listened to my heart on that other college campus，I would have missed out on the greatest blessing of my life．可知，作者想要表达的是要敢于追逐自己的梦想．故选A．文章介绍作者想上大学，一开始上了公立大学，但是不满意，觉得不适合自己，想上一个私立大学，结果父亲的努力，作者终于上了那所大学．做这类题材阅读理解时要求考生对文章通读一遍，做题时结合原文和题目有针对性的找出相关语句进行仔细分析，结合选项选出正确答案．推理判断题也是要在抓住关键句子的基础上合理的分析才能得出正确答案，切忌胡乱猜测，一定要做到有理有据．CAt least 40% of Australian households now have at least one home "Internet of Things" device．These are fridges，window blinds，locks and other devices that are connected to the Internet．While the Internet of Things （IoT）may lead to more efficiency in our daily lives，my research shows that consumers are exposed to many risks by the use of IoT devices，ranging from disclosure of private information，to physical injury and problems with the devices themselves．Australia has no specific laws aimed at addressing IoT issues，and current laws intended to protect consumers have gaps and uncertainties when dealing with IoT devices．Many IoT device manufacturers and suppliers show little regard for customers' privacy．Some even make money from customer data．Consumer electronics company Vizio recently agreed to pay US regulators US $ 2.2 million，after failing to get appropriate permission from users to track their TV viewing habits．Late last year，the Norwegian Consumer Council found that a children's doll recorded anything said to it by children and sent the recordings to a US company．The company reserved the right to share and use the data for a broad range of purposes．IoT devices have the potential to collect more private data about individuals than was possible with previous devices．All this data can then be used to study consumers，predict our behavior，and sell us products at times when our willpower is lowest．Some companies are currently using technology to track consumers through stores and send their messages to mobile phones．This may be linked to our purchase history．Consumers are exposed to significant risks from IoT devices，from the use of data，to security flaws and devices no longer being supported．They should think long and hard about the risks they are taking on with IoT devices．Do you really need that internet-connected hairbrush？8.What do we learn about IoT devices in Australia？______A. They are not well received．B. They serve no practical purpose．C. People's privacy is protected by them．D. No laws can solve problems about them．9.Which of the following sayings can best show the author's attitude towards IoT devices？______A. Better be safe than sorry．B. Every cloud has a silver lining．C. Strike while the iron is hot．D. One man's meat is another man's poison．10.What would be the best title for this passage？______A. Say Goodbye to IoT DevicesB. Your Devices Can Spy on YouC. Use Your IoT Devices CorrectlyD. Companies Need Customer Data【答案】【小题1】D 【小题2】A 【小题3】B【解析】1．D．细节题．根据文章内容" Australia has no specific laws aimed at addressing IoT issues，and current laws intended to protect consumers have gaps and uncertainties when dealing with IoT devices．"澳大利亚没有具体的法律来解决物联网问题，而现行的旨在保护消费者的法律在处理物联网设备时存在差距和不确定性．故选D．2．A．推断题．根据文章内容，my research shows that consumers are exposed to many risks by the use of IoT devices，ranging from disclosure of private information，to physical injury and problems with the devices themselves…They should think long and hard about the risks they are taking on with IoT devices．Do you really need that internet-connected hairbrush？作者认为IoT devices具有很多的不安全因素，作为消费者来说，应该更多的保障自己的安全才对，结合选项，故选A．3．B．标题概括题．根据文章内容可知文章主要讲述了澳大利亚家庭拥有至少一个家庭"物联网"设备，然而这些设备暴露出许多风险，从私人信息的泄露到身体伤害以及设备本身的问题．文章主要讲述了澳大利亚家庭拥有至少一个家庭"物联网"设备，然而这些设备暴露出许多风险，从私人信息的泄露到身体伤害以及设备本身的问题．做这类题材阅读理解时要求考生对文章通读一遍，做题时结合原文和题目有针对性的找出相关语句进行仔细分析，结合选项选出正确答案．推理判断题也是要在抓住关键句子的基础上合理的分析才能得出正确答案，切忌胡乱猜测，一定要做到有理有据．二、阅读七选五（本大题共5小题，共10.0分）In many countries the best，and sometimes only，path to acceptance to a university is having high test scores or good grades．In the US，admissions officials almost always ask students to list the activities they are involved in outside of the classroom in their applications．（1）______ This method of considering both academic success and non-academic skills is known as holistic （全面的）admissions．The more a school knows about a student's interests，the more they understand the student．（2）______The best American universities receive thousands of applications from both inside and outside the country．For example，Washington University had over 30，000 applicants for the 2017 school year．But it only had room to accept about 16 percent of them．（3）______ What would schools value more：playing basketball or singing in a musical group？Is it more important to spend weekends serving free food to homeless people or cleaning up a public park？Thinking about holistic admissions in this way is not helpful．Instead of trying to figure out which activities are better than others，you should think about which activities serve you best as an individual．（4）______A student could explain their interest in reading many books or even exploring their home city．（5）______ Students，for example，can bring attention to their special qualities in the writing samples they provide，or the letters they ask teachers to write in support of them．Students should trust that admissions officials will consider their personal history and what might have been available to them．The holistic method lets them pay more attention to the qualities they are looking for，not only academics．A．Many universities only value test scores．B．You can do almost anything，as long as it's legal．C．It's difficult to choose an activity that suits you best．D．Some students might wonder how to choose activities．E．This is especially important for the top universities in the US．F．These activities can show that a student possesses the qualities they are looking for．G．Also，there are other places where a student can describe their non-academic interests．11.

years ago， I was living in New York and working for an airline， so I never got back home for Christmas． My Christmas was happy too with some other colleagu es around． But in my heart I was sad because I couldn't stay with my family． Someti mes my colleagues would say our Christmas was filled with tears． But this Christmas was different． I was lucky． I had the whole day off， which meant I could stay with my family on Christmas Eve．When Christmas morning came， I awoke to a small hand rubbing my face． "Dad ， Merry Christmas!" was all my younger son had time to say． He seemed to be racing against time． I knew he was hunting for gifts with his brother eagerly． I got downstairs just to see the two little boys' faces as they looked at the pocket rockets Santa Claus had left them． I realized that the real Christmas was for the children who had deep beli ef in the amazing power of Santa Claus． At first， their fingers went almost shyly over their toys．When their inspection （检查） had been completed， the two boys ensured that the gifts were reallydelivered by Santa Claus and they dragged everything into the center of the living room． Delight flooded the room． As their mother began giving out gifts， I smiled to myse lf， wondering how my unexpected gifts this year would be received． With so many Christmas spent outside， I had prepared so many gifts for my children and together with my wife I hid them in several secret places． But the children were excellent detectives and they found all of them． They were happily opening packages constantly thanking considerate Santa Claus

他走进软席车厢，里面已经坐着两个人了，于是就在他们对面坐了下来。
年长的这位靠窗而坐，在这么炎热的夏季里带着那足有两百磅的身躯旅行肯定够呛，因此他显得疲惫不堪。
而他身旁的年轻人却精神十足，看起来他好像在全神贯注地看着窗外的景色，但却没有忘记时不时地关照一下身边的年长者——这个大胖子看来已经睡着了，深沉的呼吸声告诉我们他睡得很瓷实。
“嗨，打扰您了，”年轻人小声和舒斯特攀谈起来，“我真替爸爸担心，他又在车上睡着了！这太危险了，睡着了要出事的！”“您爸爸会出什么事呢？”舒斯特笑着问他。

She regretted it immediately and would have done anything to have taken the words back. So she went to an older, wiser woman in the village and 21 advice.Listening to her, the older woman 22 the younger woman‘s distress and knew she must help her. She also knew she could 23 ease her pain, but she could teach.Then, she said. ―There are 24 things you need to do. The first is extremely difficult. Tonight, Take your best 25 pillows and open a small hole in each one. Then, 26 the sun rises, you must put a single feather on the doorstep of each house in town. When you are through, 27 to me. If you‘ve done the first thing 28, I‘ll tell you the second.‖The young woman hurried home to prepare for her chore, 29 the pillows were very 30 to her and very expensive.All night long, she went from doorstep to doorstep. Her fingers were 31. The wind was so sharp that it caused her eyes to water, but she ran on through the 32 streets, 33 there was something she could do to put things 34 the way they once were. Finally she placed the last feather on the steps of the last house. Just as the sun rose, she returned to the older woman.She was exhausted but 35 ,thinking that her efforts would be rewarded.―Now,‖ said the wise woman, ―Go back an d 36 your pillows. Then everything will be as it was before.‖The young woman was stunned, ―You know that‘s impossible! The wind 37 each feather asfast as I placed them on the doorsteps! You didn‘t say I had to get them back! If this is the second 38, the n things will never be the same.‖―That‘s true,‖ said the older woman. ―Never forget.

It will oblige men to ―share domestic responsibilities and the care and attention‖ of children and e lderly family members, according to the draft approved by the Spanish parliament‘s justice commission.―This will be a good way of reminding people what their duties are. It is something feminists (女权主义者) have been wanting for a long time,‖ said Margarita Uria, of the Basque Nationalist Party, who was behind what is an amendment to a new divorce law.Failure to meet the obligations will be taken into consideration by judges when determining the terms of divorces. Men who refuse to do their part may be given less frequent contact with their children.Spanish women spend five times longer on housework than husbands. Even when both have jobs outside the home, Spanish women still do three times as much work in the house.―It is not just about housework, though,‖ said Ms. Uria.A study five years ago by Spain‘s Center for Sociological Investigation concluded that fathers spent an average of 13 minutes each day looking after their children.Only 19 % of Spanish men thought it was right for mothers of school-age children to have a full-time job. More than a third thought mothers should not work outside the home at all.The Change to the Spanish legal code will see domestic obligations added to a list of marital(婚姻的) duties that currently includes fidelity, living together and helping one another.That should guarantee that, when the law—which will also make divorce proceedings faster and easier—is voted on in parliament in the next few weeks, the obligation to share domestic chores will be added to the statute books.41. What is the percentage of Spanish men who don‘t do any housework?A. 19%B. 40%C. 60%D. 80%42. About the new law, which of the following is NOT true?A. Men are obliged to do housework.B. Men will have to take care of children.C. Women have to have full-time jobs.D. Men will have to take care of the elderly.43. According to the fourth paragraph, which of the following is TRUE?A. If a man fails to fulfill the obligation, he will get a divorce.B. If a man fails to fulfill the obligation, he will be thrown to the jail.C. If a man fails to fulfill the obligation, he will be in an unfavourable condition in a divorce.D. If a man fails to fulfill the obligation, he will not be allowed to see the child any more.44. What is the general topic of the passage?A. Spain will pass a new law to oblige men to share domestic responsibilities.B. Men have to share more domestic responsibilities.C. There will be a revolution by provoked (被激怒的) feminists.D. Marital laws in Spain are not enough yet.BFour out of ten women who diet end up heavier than when they started watching their waistline（腰围）, a study revealed today. The research also showed that a large percentage of women start noticing the pounds creeping back on just 21 days after reaching their ideal weight.Yesterday, Dr Ian Campbell of the Jenny Craig weight management program said: 'In the UK 61.4 per cent of adults are overweight or obese. Successful weight management requires a long-term commitment in order to lose weight successfully and for good. Dieting can be a real challenge so setting realistic goals and remaining focused on them is important. Otherwise as this research shows, women could end up heavier than when they started.'The 'Food: Body: Mind' report was publicized by Jenny Craig who quizzed 2000 women aged between 18 and 65 who diet regularly on their attitudes, beliefs and behaviors around weight loss. Six in ten said they are currently on a diet and one in five women said they are on a 'continuous diet'.It found the most common triggers to start dieting was seeing their 'reflection in the mirror', preparing for a summer holiday or unflattering photos posted on social networking sites. Other popular reasons include comments by friends or relatives or their other half.However, the study showed that one in ten give up within one day, while almost a fifthmanage to make it to a week or more. The average is ten days. Many blamed pressure they put on themselves to lose weight too quickly for the weight gain, which leaves them with a bigger appetite than normal. Others blamed colleagues, who tuck into fatty lunches and snacks unaware of the effect it has on the dieter, while mothers who polish off their children's leftovers was another common cause of weight gain.45. Which of the following might be the best title for this article?A. Three reasons to fail in dietingB. Important things for successful dietC. Four in ten women gain weight on dietsD. Obesity: problem for 61.4% adults in UK46. In the UK, women who go on a diet __________.A. a re all overweight or obeseB. all fail because they are not persistent enoughC. are likely to gain weight again after reaching their ideal weightD. e nd up heavier than when they start to diet47. The underlined word ―triggers‖ in Paragraph 4 probably means_________.A. effectsB. causesC. examplesD. imagination48. Which of the following is NOT the reason why many people quit dieting very soon?A. The pressure they put on themselves to lose weight quickly.B. Colleagues who give them fatty lunches and snacks.C. Leftovers of children‘s taken by their mothers.D. Reflections they see in the mirror.CWhen you are at odds with someone close to you, the One-Minute Drill can show you how to express your feelings effectively –and how to listen more skillfully. All it requires is two individuals who are committed to improving their relationship.Set aside at least ten minutes, and then sit facing each other. Decide who will be the Talker and who will be the Listener. It makes no difference, because later you will change roles.How to perform the One-Minute DrillFor approximately 30 seconds, the Talker can say anything he or she wants. Your job will be to express your thoughts and feelings. You can discuss problems you've had a hard time talking about. Remember to limit yourself to about 30 seconds. When the Talker finishes, the Listener will summarize what the Talker just said, as well as how the Talker was feeling inside, as accurately as possible.The Talker now gives the Listener a grade between 0 and 100 per cent to indicate how accurate the summary was. If the rating is 95 per cent or more, you can change roles; the new Talker can continue with the same topic or move on to something entirely new.However, if the grade is below 95 per cent, the Talker should point out what the Listener missed or got wrong, and repeat the process until the overall rating is 95 per cent or more. Then you can change roles and repeat the exercise for as long as you both like.How it worksThirty seconds of emotionally charged information is sufficiently challenging for anyone. Express your feelings in strong, clear, direct language, but as your partner will be listening attentively, you won't need to shout, exaggerate or put your partner down.The Listener should sit and listen respectfully without interrupting. Look into your partner's eyes, but avoid using negative body language. If you like, take a few notes.So the Talker might say: "When I come home from work, I feel tired and I need some quiet time. But you tell me I'm supposed to spend time with the kids. This makes me feel frustrated. I work hard and I'm exhausted at the end of the day. I feel like I deserve a little time to relax, not listen to more demands."In response, the Listener might summarize like this: "You just told me that you feel exhausted when you come home at night because you've been working hard all day. When I tell you I want you to spend time with the kids, you feel frustrated and ticked off because you're tired and you need time to relax. You see me as very demanding, and you're probably feeling like I don't appreciate you."The first time you attempt the One-Minute Drill, you may get a low score. Don't worry, because you'll get up to speed quickly. Once you've tried this exercise a few times, you'll find that you can nearly always get ratings of 95 per cent or better on the first or second try.49. Who is the One-Minute Drill intended for?A. Those who are to act some roles in a certain play for the first time in their life.B. Those who are preparing for the interview in order to make a good first impression.C. Those who have difficulty communicating with their colleagues or family members.D. Those who have troubled relationships with their friends or family members and try to improve them.50. Which of the following is NOT true?A. In the One-Minute Drill, the Talker and the Listener change roles in the process.B. The Talker should talk about his / her thoughts and feelings in a brief way.C. The Listener should listen carefully, respectfully and later summarize accurately.D. After the Talker finishes talking, the Listener is to give him / her a grade.51. From the exa mple given in ―How it works,‖ we can guess that the talk might be between_____.A. husband and wifeB. father and sonC. mother and daughterD. sister and brother52. What does the underlined part ―ticked off‖ probably mean in this reading?A. fast asleepB. very angryC. burst into tearsD. marked with a symbolDThe idea of ―law‖ exists in every culture. All societies have some kind of law to keep order and to control the interactions of people with those around them. The laws of any culture tell people three things: what they can do (their right), what they must do (their duties), and what they may not do. In addition, there are usually specific types of punishment for those who break the law. Although all societies have laws, not all have the same idea of justice—which is ―right‖ and ―wrong‖ and how ―wrong‖ should be punished. In most Western cultures, it is thought that punishing criminals will prevent them from committing other crimes. Also, it is hoped that the fear of punishment will act as a deterrent(威慑) that prevents other people from committing similar crimes; in other words, people who are considering a life of crime will decide against it because of fear of punishment. In most non-Western cultures, by contrast, punishment is not seen as a deterrent. Instead, great importance is placed on restoring balance in the situation. A thief, forexample, may be ordered to return the things he has stolen instead of, as in Western societies, spending time in prison.Another di fference in the concept of justice lies in various societies‘ ideas of what laws are. In the West, people consider ―laws‖ quite different from ―customs‖. There is also a great contrast between ―sins‖ (breaking religious laws) and ―crimes‖ (breaking laws of the government). In many non-Western cultures, on the other hand, there is little separation of customs, laws, and religious beliefs; in other cultures, these three may be quite separate from one another, but still very much different from those in the West. For these reasons, an action may be considered a crime in one country, but be socially acceptable in others. For instance, although a thief is viewed as a criminal in much of the world, in a small village where there is considerable communal（公共的）living and sharing of objects, the word thief may have little meaning. Someone who has taken something without asking is simply considered an impolite person.Most countries have two kinds of law: criminal and civil. People who have been accused of acts such as murder or theft are heard in the criminal justice system, while civil justice deals with people who are believed to have violated others‘ rights. The use of the civil system reflects the values of the society in which it exists. In the United States where personal, individual justice is considered very important, civil law has become ―big business.‖ There are over 600,000 lawyers in the United States, and many of them keep busy with civil lawsuits; that is, they work for people who want to sue others. If a man falls over a torn rug in a hotel and breaks his arm, for instance, he might decide to sue the hotel owners so that they will pay his medical costs. In a country like Japan, by contrast, there is very little use of the civil justice system. Lawsuits are not very popular in Japan, where social harmony is even more important than individual rights, and where people would rather reach agreement outside court.53. The main point of paragraph 1 is that____.A. all societies, Western or non-Western, have some kind of law to keep order.B. most countries in the world have two kinds of law ―criminal and civil ‖C. there are usually specific types of punishment for those who break the law.D. the laws of any culture dictate people‘s rights, duties a nd what they are not supposed to do54. Which is TRUE in most Western cultures?A. Punishment has double functions.B. A thief may be referred to as an impolite person.C. Punishment is not regarded as a deterrent.D. There is lots of communal living and sharing of objects.55. Which statement is NOT true according to the article?A. In the West, people think laws and customs are rather different.B. In the West, there is little difference between ―sins‖ and ―crimes‖.C. An action that is considered a crime in one country may be socially acceptable in another.D.There is far less use of the civil justice system in Japan than in the United States.56. Which of the following cases are not heard in the criminal justice system?A. Robbing a pedestrian.B. Kidnapping people for ransom.C. Breaking into a bank.D. Failing to pay back the money.EWhen you think of the tremendous technological progress we have made, it‘s amazing howlittle we have developed in other respects. We may speak scornfully of the poor old Romans because they enjoyed the seemingly excited killing that went on in their arenas（竞技场）. We may despise them because they mistook these goings on for entertainment. We may forgive them because they lived 2000 years ago and obviously knew no better. But are our feelings of superiority（优越）really justified? Are we any less blood-thirsty? Why do boxing matches, for instance, attract such universal interest? Don‘t the audience who attend them hope they will see some violence? Human beings remain as bloodthirsty as ever they were. The only difference between ourselves and the Romans is that while they were honest enough to admit that they enjoyed watching hungry lions tearing people apart and eating them alive, we find all sorts of arguments to defend sports which should have been banned long ago.It really is incredible that in this day and age we should still allow hunting or bull-fighting, that we should be prepared to sit back and watch two men punch each other in a boxing ring, that we should be relatively unmoved by the sight of one or a number of racing cars crashing and bursting into flames. Any talk of ‗the sporting spirit‘ is merely hypocrisy（虚伪）. People take part in violent sports because of the high rewards they bring. Audience are willing to pay vast sums of money to see violence. A world heavyweight championship match, for instance, is front page news. Millions of people are disappointed if a big fight is over in two rounds instead of fifteen. They feel disappointment because they haven‘t experienced the exquisite pleasure of witnessin g continuous violence.Why should we ban violent sports if people enjoy them so much? You may well ask. The answer is simple: they are uncivilized. For centuries man has been trying to improve himself spiritually and emotionally—though with little success. But at least we no longer tolerate the sight madmen imprisoned in cages, or public punishment of any of the countless other barbarous (野蛮的) practices which were common in the past. Prisons are no longer the harsh forbidding places they used to be. Social welfare systems are in operation in many parts of the world. Big efforts are being made to distribute wealth fairly. These changes have come about not because human beings have suddenly improved, but because positive steps were taken to change the law. The law is the biggest instrument of social change that we have and it may exert great civilizing influence. If we banned dangerous and violent sports, we would be moving one step further to improving mankind. We would recognize that violence is unworthy of human beings.57. It c an be inferred from the passage that the author‘s opinion of nowadays‘ human beings is ________________A. not very high.B. high.C. scornful.D. neutral58. Why does the author mention the old Romans in this article?A. To reveal that the old Romans first started violent sports.B. To prove that the old Romans were not civilized.C. To show human beings in the past knew nothing better.D. To indicate human beings today are as bloodthirsty as the old Romans.59. How many dangerous sports does the author mention in this passage?A. Three.B. Four.C. Five.D. Six.60. What does the author want to illustrate in this article?A. By banning the violent sports, we human beings can improve ourselves.B. By banning the dangerous sports, we can improve the law.C. We must take positive steps to improve social welfare system.D.

However, the situation is quite different in Australia. Different people have their own waysfor enjoyment and their own worlds of pastime.Most children often work hard in school since they have to face various exams. After school they do not want to confine themselves to books any more. Instead, they put aside their schoolbags at home and sneak quickly to some quiet street corners for their games. Bigger children like to shoulder their large kites to some steep cliffs, and jump to fly in the sky with their kites.Some old people often get up early in the morning and go to parks to do newspaper reading. After breakfast, they come to horse races, dog races and sometimes car races for betting. If hewins, he will feed himself a good dinner. In the evening, they stay at home, watching TV sometimes with grandchildren. Some of the agedalso enjoy fishing and gardening.Young people prefer to go outing for holidays. At the weekends, they go to the seashore for swimming or to the forest for hunting and camping, or mountainous areas for picnicking. Then in the evenings on Sundays,they start their long bumper-to-bumper drive back on the highways. Nobody seems in a hurry.The Australian government also encourages its people to have more relaxation after work. Sometimes, certain kind of financial help is distributed to people going on holidays and public holidays are purposely set on Monday or Friday so that Australians may have a longer weekend for enjoyment. They think people can work better only after they get a full relaxation. And it grows out of this idea that relaxation comes the top priority for enjoyment in Australia.24.According to many people's opinion, which of the following is NOT true?A.All people in the US live a desirable life.B.The competition among American young people is fierce.C.The life of the American old people is very terrible.D.Children in America are extremely happy.25.Australia is different from America because Australia _____.A .is not a paradise for children B. is not a struggling field for the youthC .is not a tomb for the aged D.has different worlds for different people26.There is an idea of enjoyment priority in Australia because _____.A. enjoyment is more important than other aspects of lifeB. a full relaxation will make people work betterC.enjoyment can make people happyD.Australian people are lazy27. The underlined part can be replaced by "_____".A. adjust themselves toB. prevent themselves fromC. limit themselves toD.satisfy themselves withCImagine you’ve just arrived in a new place and don’t know anybody yet. Someone smiles atyou. You smile back. Your heart leaps because you realize this person could be a potential new friend. Your imagination runs wild, dreaming of all the fun times you’ll have together, chewing the fat over coffee, lunch and dinner.You become so excited that in the first few minutes of talking you tell him/her everything—what you had for breakfast, how nervous you’re in this new place, and how you felt when your favorite goldfish died.But then you suddenly realize you’ve gone too far and that there’s no going back. You’ve committed the biggest social crime in the books—you over-shared.Researchers have found over-sharing your personal information too quickly is a kiss of death to new friendships. A recent article highlights that it’s possible to establish a cl ose bond with someone in as little as 45 minutes but this is only possible when the connection is built gradually by each person sharing a little bit more of themselves in turn. This theory was tested in an agreement called “Fast Friends” created by Authur Anopn, a professor from New York. In it, two people were put in a room together with three sets of 12 questions. The questions must be taken in order, with each person taking turns to answer them.Questions in the first set were mild and only slightly per sonal, like “Would you like to be famous?” But questions in the next set were more personal, like “What’s your most terrible memory?” The final set of questions was deeply personal, like “When did you last cry in front of another person?” As Anon told, “If you disclose too much too fast, you put someone off.” It’s important that a relationship is built on mutual benefit and for each person to be talking. A key sign you’re over-sharing is when you’re the only one talking.To be close to someone, it’s also necessary that you’re both willing to open up, but it’s important that each person gives the other space and time to do so. Giving away mutual information gradually is a good choice.28. To establish a close relationship with someone, you should __________.A. talk as much as possibleB. share everything with him/herC. be the only one talkingD. give him/her space and time29. The underlined part in Paragraph 1 most probably means ________.A. drinking tea or coffeeB. talking happily and relaxedlyC. eating the fat meatD. laughing happily30. According to the passage, which of the following questions is deeply personal?A. What is the weather like in your hometown?B. What is your dream in the senior high school?C. What do you think of our national football team?D. Do you remember the situation you felt stupid before your friends?31. Which can be the best title for the passage?A. Take Turns to Share Between New FriendsB. Share Everything With FriendsC. Be Talkative While Making New FriendsD. Be Friendly to a Potential New FriendDLast night’s meteor hower left many people in the community dissatisfied and demanding answers. According to Gabe Rothschild, Emerald Valley’s mayor, people gathered in the suburbs of the city, carrying heavy telescopes, expecting to watch the brightly burning meteors passing through the sky. What they found instead was a sky so brightened by the city’s lights that it darkened the light of the meteors passing overhead.“My family was so frustrated, ”admitted town resident Duane Cosby. “We wanted to make this an unforgettable family outing, but it turned out to be a huge disappointment.”Astronomers—scientists who study stars and planets—have been complaining about this problem for decades. They say that light pollution prevents them from seeing objects in the sky that they could see quite easily in the past. They call on people and the government to take measures to fight against it.There is yet a population besides professional and amateur star observers that suffers even more from light pollution. This population consists of birds, bats, frogs, snakes, etc. For example, outdoor lighting severely affects migrating birds. According to the International Dark-Sky Association.“100 million birds a year throughout North America die in crashes with lighted buildings and towers.”Countless more animal casualties(伤亡)result from the use of artificial lighting. Clearly, people enjoy the benefits of lighting their evenings, but some scientists think it can be harmful for humans, too. They worry that exposure to light while sleeping can increase a person’s chances of getting cancer.Emerald Valley is only one community that is becoming aware of the negative effects of light pollution. For years, Flagstaff, Arizona, has enforced lighting regulations in its city in order to assist astronomers at the Lowell Observatory. Similar efforts have been made worldwide, and a movement is underway to remind us to turn off lights when we are not using them, so that other creatures can share the night.32. It happened last night that.A. the meteor watching ended up a social outingB. the meteors flew past before being noticedC. the city light show attracted many peopleD. the cit y’s lights affected the meteor watching33. What do the astronomers complain about?A. Their eyesight is falling due to artificial lighting.B. Meteor showers occur less often than before.C. Their observation equipment is in poor repair.D. Light pollution has remained unsolved for years.34. What is the author concerned about according to Paragraph 4?A. Birds may take other migration paths.B. Animals’ living habits may change suddenly.C. Animals’ survival is threatened by outdoor lighting.D. Varieties of animals will become sharply reduced.35. What message does the author most want to give us?A. Human activities should be environmentally friendly.B. New equipment should be introduced for space study.C. Saving wildlife is saving ourselves.D. Great efforts should be made to save energy.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。

2018年浙江省高考英语试卷含答案
2018年浙江省高考英语试卷第二部分阅读理解（共两节）第一节（共10个小题；每小题2.5分，满分25.0分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题纸上将该项涂黑．1.In 1812, the year Charles Dickens was born, there were 66 novels published in Britain. People had been writing novels for a century-most experts date the first novel to Robinson Crusoe in 1719, but nobody wanted to do it professionally. The steam-powered printing press was still in its early stages; the literacy（识字）rate in England was under 50%. Many works of fiction appeared without the names of the authors, often with something like "By a lady." Novels, for the most part, were looked upon as silly, immoral or just plain bad.In 1870, when Dickens died, the world mourned him as its first professional writer and publisher, famous and beloved, who had led an explosion in both the publication of novels and their readership and whose characters-from Oliver Twist to Tiny Tim-were held up as moral touchstones. Today Dickens' greatness is unchallenged. Removing him from the pantheon（名人堂）of English literature would make about as much sense as the Louvre selling off the Mona Lisa.How did Dickens get to the top? For all the feelings readers attach to stories, literature is a numbers game, and the test of time is extremely difficult to pass. Some 60, 000 novels were published during the Victorian age, from 1837 to 1901; today a casual reader might be able to name a half-dozen of them. It's partly true that Dickens' style of writing attracted audiences from all walks of life. It's partly that his writings rode a wave of social, political and scientific progress. But it's also that he rewrote the culture of literature and put himself at the center. No one will ever know what mix of talent, ambition, energy and luck made Dickens such a distinguished writer. But as the 200th anniversary of his birth approaches, it is possible-and important for our own culture-to understand how he made himself a lasting one.（1）Which of the following best deseribes British novels in the 18th century?A.They were difficult to understand.B.They were popular among the rich.C.They were seen as nearly worthless.D.They were written mostly by women.（2）Dickens is compared with the Mona Lisa in the text to stress ______.A.his reputation in France.B.his interest in modern art.C.his success in publication.D.his importance in literature.（3）What is the author's purpose in writing the text?A.To remember a great writer.B.To introduce an English novel.C.To encourage studies on culture.D.To promote values of the Victorian age.2.Steven Stein likes to follow garbage trucks. His strange habit makes sense when you consider that he's an environmental scientist who studies how to reduce litter, including things that fall off garbage trucks as they drive down the road. What is even more interesting is that one of Stein's jobs is defending an industry behind the plastic shopping bag.Americans use more than 100 billion thin film plastic bags every year. So many end up in tree branches or along highways that a growing number of cities do not allow them at checkouts （收银台）. The bags are prohibited in some 90 cities in California, including Los Angeles. Eyeing these headwinds, plastic-bag makers are hiring scientists like Stein to make the case that their products are not as bad for the planet as most people assume.Among the bag makers' arguments: many cities with bans still allow shoppers to purchase paper bags, which are easily recycled but require more energy to produce and transport. And while plastic bags may be ugly to look at, they represent a small percentage of all garbage on the ground today.The industry has also taken aim at the product that has appeared as its replacement: reusable shopping bags. The stronger a reusable bag is, the longer its life and the more plastic-bag use it cancels out. However, longer-lasting reusable bags often require more energy to make. One study found that a cotton bag must be used at least 131 times to be better for the planet than plastic.Environmentalists don't dispute（质疑）these points. They hope paper bags will be banned someday too and want shoppers to use the same reusable bags for years.（1）What has Steven Stein been hired to do?A.Help increase grocery sales.B.Recycle the waste material.C.Stop things falling off trucks.D.Argue for the use of plastic bags.（2）What does the word "headwinds" in paragraph 2 refer to?A.Bans on plastic bags.B.Effects of city development.C.Headaches caused by garbage.D.Plastic bags hung in trees.（3）What is a disadvantage of reusable bags according to plastic-bag makers?A.They are quite expens.B.Replacing them can be difficult.C.They are less strong than plastic bags.D.Producing them requires more energy.（4）What is the best title for the text?A.Plastic, Paper or Neither.B.Industry, Pollution and Environment.C.Recycle or Throw Away.D.Garbage Collection and Waste Control.3.As cultural symbols go, the American car is quite young. The Model T Ford was built at the Piquette Plant in Michigan a century ago, with the first rolling off the assembly line（装配线）on September 27,1908. Only eleven cars were produced the next month. But eventually Henry Ford would build fifteen million of them.Modern America was born on the road, behind a wheel. The car shaped some of the most lasting aspects of American culture: the roadside diner, the billboard, the motel, even the hamburger. For most of the last century, the car represented what it meant to be American—going forward at high speed to find new worlds. The road novel, the road movie, these are the most typical American ideas, born of abundant petrol, cheap cars and a never-ending interstate highway system, the largest public works project in history.In 1928 Herbert Hoover imagined an America with "a chicken in every pot and a car in every garage." Since then, this society has moved onward, never looking back, as the car transformed America from a farm-based society into an industrial power.The cars that drove the American Dream have helped to create a global ecological disaster. In America the demand for oil has grown by 22 percent since 1990.The problems of excessive（过度的）energy consumption, climate change and population growth have been described in a book by the American writer Thomas L. Friedman. He fears the worst, but hopes for the best.Friedman points out that the green economy（经济）is a chance to keep American strength. “The ability to design, build and export green technologies for producing clean water, clean air and healthy and abundant food is going to be the currency of power in the new century.”（1）Why is hamburger mentioned in paragraph 2?A.To explain Americans' love for travelling by car.B.To show the influence of cars on American culture.C.To stress the popularity of fast food with Americans.D.To praise the effectiveness of America's road system.（2）What has the use of cars in America led to?A.Decline of economy.B.Environmental problems.C.A shortage of oil supply.D.A farm-based society. （3）What is Friedman's attitude towards America's future?A.Ambiguous.B.Doubtful.C.Hopeful.D.Tolerant.第二节（满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项．选项中有两项为多余选项．4. 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。

Knowing that he could die in a matter of minutes, I stopped my car and carefully examined the body. With the help of some passers－by, I lifted his unconscious body into the car and raced back to the hospital. After his family was contacted, and he was wheeled into emergency surgery, I drove home, exhausted.The next day, when I went to hospital to see the boy, all his family got up, with grateful smiles on their faces.The mother held my hands to her face and started weeping. “Son, you are an angel!’ she repeated.

2018年度高考英语试卷真题与答案（浙江卷）第二部分阅读理解（共两节，满分35分）第一节（共10小题；每小题2.5分，满分25分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题纸上将该项涂黑。
AIn 1812, the year Charles Dickens was born, there were 66 novels published in Britain. People had been writing novels for a century—most experts date the first novel to Robinson Crusoe in 1719—but nobody wanted to do it professionally. The steam-powered printing press was still in its early stages; the literacy（识字）rate in England was under 50%. Many works of fiction appeared without the names of the authors, often with something like “By a lady.”Novels, for the most part, were looked upon as silly, immoral, or just plain bad.In 1870, when Dickens died, the world mourned him as its first professional writer and publisher, famous and beloved, who had led an explosion in both the publication of novels and their readership and whose characters — from Oliver Twist to Tiny Tim— were held up as moral touchstones. Today Dickens’greatness is unchallenged. Removing him from the pantheon（名人堂） of English literature would make about as much senseas the Louvre selling off the Mona Lisa.How did Dickens get to the top? For all the feelings readers attach to stories, literature is a numbers game, and the test of time is extremely difficult to pass. Some 60,000novels were published during the Victorian age, from 1837 to1901; today a casual reader might be able to name a half-dozen of them. It’s partly true that Dickens’style of writing attracted audiencesfrom all walks of life. It’s partly that his writings rode a wave of social, political and scientific progress. But it’s also that he rewrote the culture of literature and put himself at the center. No one will ever know what mix of talent, ambition, energy and luck made Dickens such a singular writer. But as the 200th anniversary of his birth approaches, it is possible —and important for our own culture—to understand how he made himself a lasting one.21. Which of the following best describes British novels in the 18th century?A. They were difficult to understand.B. They were popular among the rich.C. They were seen as nearly worthless.D. They were written mostly by women.22. Dickens is compared with the Mona Lisa in the text to stress________.A. his reputation in FranceB. his interest in modern artC. his success in publicationD. his importance in literature23. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?A. To remember a great writer.B. To introduce an English novel.C. To encourage studies on culture.D. To promote values of the Victorian age.BSteven Stein likes to follow garbage trucks. His strange habit makes sense when you consider that he’s an environmental scientist who studies how to reduce litter, including things that fall off garbage trucks as they drive down the road.What is even more interesting is that one of Stein's jobs is defending an industry behind the plastic shopping bags.Americans use more than 100 billion thin film plastic bags every year.So many end up in tree branches or along highwaysthat a growing number of cities do not allow them at checkouts(收银台). The bags are prohibited in some 90 cities in California, including Los Angeles. Eyeing these headwinds, plastic-bag makers are hiring scientists like Stein to make the case that their products are not as bad for the planet as most people assume.Among the bag makers' argument: many cities with bans still allow shoppers to purchase paper bags,which are easily recycled but require more energy to produce and transport.And while plastic bags may be ugly to look at,they represent a small percentage of all garbage on the ground today.z.x.xkThe industry has also taken aim at the product that has appeared as its replacement: reusable shopping bags. The stronger a reusable bag is,the longer its life and the more plastic-bag use it cancels out. However, longer-lasting reusable bags often require more energy to make. One study found that a cotton bag must be used at least 131 times to be better for the planet than plastic.Environmentalists don't dispute（质疑） these points.They hope paper bags will be banned someday too and want shoppers to use the same reusable bags for years.24. What has Steven Stein been hired to do?A. Help increase grocery sales.B. Recycle the waste material.C. Stop things falling off trucks.D. Argue for the use of plastic bags.25. What does the word “headwinds”in paragraph 2 refer to?A. Bans on plastic bags.B. Effects of city development.C. Headaches caused by garbage.D. Plastic bags hung in trees.26. What is a disadvantage of reusable bags according to plastic-bag makers?A. They are quite expensive.B. Replacing them can be difficult.C. They are less strong than plastic bags.D. Producing them requires more energy.27. What is the best title for the text?A. Plastic, Paper or NeitherB. Industry, Pollution and EnvironmentC. Recycle or Throw AwayD. Garbage Collection and Waste ControlCAs cultural symbols go, the American car is quite young. The Model T Ford was built at the Piquette Plant in Michigan a century ago, with the first rolling off the assembly line（装配线） on September 27, 1908. Only eleven cars were produced the next month. But eventually Henry Ford would build fifteen million of them.Modern America was born on the road, behind a wheel. The car shaped some of the most lasting aspects of American culture: the roadside diner, the billboard, the motel, even the hamburger. For most of the last century, the car represented what it meant to be American—going forward at high speed to find new worlds. The road novel, the road movie, these are the most typical American ideas, born of abundant petrol, cheap cars and a never-ending interstate highway system, the largest public works project in history.In 1928 Herbert Hoover imagined an America with “a chicken in every pot and a car in every garage.” Since then, this society has moved onward, never looking back, as the car transformed America from a farm-based society into an industrial power.zxx.kThe cars that drove the American Dream have helped to createa global ecological disaster. In America the demand for oil has grown by 22 percent since 1990.The problems of excessive（过度的）energy consumption, climate change and population growth have been described in a book by the American writer Thomas L. Friedman. He fears the worst, but hopes for the best.Friedman points out that the green economy（经济）is a chance to keep American strength. “The ability to design, build and export green technologies for producing clean water, clean air and healthy and abundant food is going to be the currency of power in the new century.”28. Why is hamburger mentioned in paragraph 2?A. To explain Americans’ love for travelling by car.B. To show the influence of cars on American culture.C. To stress the popularity of fast food with Americans.D. To praise the effectiveness of America’s road system.29. What has the use of cars in America led to?A. Decline of economy.B. Environmental problems.C. A shortage of oil supply.D. A farm-based society.30. What is Friedman’s attitude towards America’s future?A. Ambiguous.B. Doubtful.C. Hopeful.D. Tolerant.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。

Looking forward to your coming back soon.Yours sincerely,Li Hua续写I opened the back door of the mall and saw Marie outside with a bag of food, smiling. Shefinished her job an hour before. She figured I didn't have time for dinner, so she bought me a bag of food with her own money earned by babysitting and waited for me outside the mall all the time. While I was eating, she told me that I was her hero and she admired everything I was doing for the family. When she was babysitting long hours or when she was tired of doing homework, she thought about my hard work. She remembered to have hope for life and never give up.I pulled her tight against me. Tomorrow the alarm would still ring at 5:00 am. The bills would still be waiting. There would be more rough days ahead. And yet I was ready to face them together with Paul and Marie, all of us willing to work hard and make sacrifices and holding on to each other. Things would get better with the love of a good family.。

AHundreds of years ago, news was carried from place to place by people on foot or by horse. It took days, weeks and sometimes months for people to receive news. Now it is possible to send words and pictures around the world in seconds. Billions of people learn about news stories of their own country and all over the world every day, either by watching TV or reading newspapers.Newspapers have been an important part of everyday life since the 18th century. Many countries have hundreds of different newspapers. How do newspaper editors decide which news stories to print? Why do they print some stories and not others? What makes a good newspaper story?Firstly, it is important to report new stories. TV stations can report news much faster than newspapers. Yet, newspapers give more about the same story. They may also look at the story in another way, or they may print completely different stories to those on TV.Secondly, a news story has to be interesting and unusual. People don’t want to read stories about everyday life. As a result, many stories are about some kind of danger and seem to be "bad" news. For example, newspapers never print stories about planes landing safely; instead they print stories about plane accidents.Another factor is also very important in many news stories. Many people are interested in news in foreign countries, but more prefer to read stories about people, places and events in their own country. So the stories on the front page in Chinese newspapers are usually very different from the ones in British, French and American newspapers.21.According to the passage, how do people learn about news stories in the world now?A. They carry news stories and tell others from place to place on foot or by horse.B. They tell each other what they have seen with their eyes.C. They watch TV or read newspapers.D. They listen to the radio every day.22.The difference between newspaper stories and TV news reports is that _______.A. people can learn more about the same news story from a newspaperB. people can read the news story more quickly in a newspaperC. people can read news stories in other countriesD. people can read news stories about their own country23.According to the passage, which of the following can you most possibly watch on TV?A. You often play football with your friends after school.B. Your teacher has got a cold.C. A tige r in the city zoo has run out and hasn’t been caught.D. The bike in front of your house is lost.BHumans have been keeping animals as pets for tens of thousands of years, but Dr. Jean-Loup Rault, an animal scientist at the University of Melbourne in Australia, believes new companions are coming: robot pets.“Technology is moving very fast,” Rault told ABC News, “The Tamagotchi in the early 1990s was really the first robotic pet, and now Sony and other big companies have improved them a lot.”This may not sit well with pet lovers. After all, who would choose a plastic toy over a lovely puppy? But Rault argues that the robotic kind has a lot going for it: “You don’t have to feed it, you don’t have to walk it, it won’t make a mess in your house, and you can go on a holiday without feeling guilty.” The technology also benefits those who are allergic to pets, short on space, or fearful of real animals.It’s not clear whether robot pets can replace real ones. But studies do suggest that we can bond with thes e smart machines. People give their cars names and kids give their toy animals life stories. It’s the same with robots. When Sony stopped its repair service for its robot dog Aibo in March 2014, owners in Japan held funerals.As an animal welfare researcher, Rault is concerned about how robotic pets could affect our attitudes towards live animals. “If we become used to a robotic companion that doesn’t need food, water or exercises, perhaps it will change how humans care about other living beings,” he said.So are dogs and cats a thing of the past, as Rault predicts? For those who grew up with living and breathing pets, the mechanical kind might not do. But for our next generation who are in constant touch with smart technology, a future in which lovely pet s needn’t have a heartbeat might not be a far-fetched dream.24. What does the underlined phrase “sit well with” means?A. be refused byB. be beneficial toC. make a difference toD. receive support from25. What are the advantages of robot pets?a. They are plastic and feel smooth.b. Owners needn’t worry about them when going out.c. They can help cure allergies.d. They save space and costs.A. abB. bcC. bdD. cd26. The passage mainly tells us ______.A. the advantages of robot toysB. the popularity of robot petsC. living pets are dying outD. robot pets are comingCCan you be too beautiful? It is hardly a problem that most of us have to bother — as much as we might like to dream that it were the case.Yet the blessings and curses of beauty have been a long-standing interest in psychology. Do those blessed with shiny faces and an attractive body live in a cloud of appreciation — or does it sometimes pay to be ordinary?At the most basic level, beauty might be thought to carry a kind of halo (光环) around it; we seethat someone has one good quality, and by association, our deep mind may assume that they have other good ones too.Even in the courts, a pleasing appearance can work its magic. Attractive criminals are likely to get less strict sentences, or to escape punishment entirely; attractive plaintiffs (原告), meanwhile, are more likely to win their case and get bigger financial settlements. “It’s an effect seen everywhere,” says Walker.But if beauty pays in most circumstances, there are still situations where it can have opposite results. While attractive men may be considered better leaders, for instance, hidden sexist prejudices (偏见) can work against attractive women, making them less likely to be hired for high-level jobs that require power. And as you might expect, good-looking people of both sexes run into envy — one study found that if you are interviewed by someone of the same sex, they may be less likely to employ you if they judge that you are more attractive than they are.More worryingly, being beautiful or handsome could harm your medical care. We tend to link good looks to health, meaning that illnesses are often taken less seriously when they affect the good-looking. When treating people for pain, for instance, doctors tend to take less care over the more attractive people.Ultimately, scientists point out that focusing too much on your appearance can itself be harmful if it creates stress and anxiety —even for those already blessed with good looks. “If you are crazy about attractiveness, it may affect your experience and interactions,” she says. It’s an outdat ed saying, but no amount of beauty can make up for a bad personality. As the writer Dorothy Parker put it so elegantly: “Beauty is only skin deep, but ugly goes clean to the bone.”24.From paragraph 1, we can learn that _______.A. some may be bothered by their unattractive appearanceB. most people are not afraid of being too beautifulC. we might always dream about being bothered by othersD. being too beautiful can be a problem bothering everyone25.Which is the benefit for beautiful people?A. All attractive plaintiffs have more chances to get away with punishment.B. Women with pleasing appearance will always be considered as better leaders.C. Good-looking people are often regarded as having many good qualities.D. Beautiful criminals are more likely to persuade the judge and win the case.26.The writer mentioned the underlined sentence in the last paragraph to _______.A. persuade us to pay more attention to our looks from now onB. suggest that beauty can help make a better personalityC. encourage us to focus more on improving our personalityD. ask ugly people to have more confidence in their personality27.What might be the best title for the passage?A.
