云南省2017届第一次省统测英语试题
省高三下学期第一次统测英语试题第Ⅰ卷第一部分阅读理解(共两节,满分40分)第一节(共15小题;每小题2分,满分30分)阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
AMy doorbell rings at 11 a.m.On the step,I find an elderly Chinese lady,She is small and slight.She holds a paper carrier bag in her hands.I know this lady.It is by no means her first visit.Her daughter,Nicole,bought the house next door last October. Nicole,who is currently in Shanghai,has apparently told her mother that I am having heart surgery shortly,and the result is that her mother has decided I need to be supplied with meals.I know what is inside the paper carrier bag-a stainless-steel container with a meal of rice,vegetables and either chicken,meat or shrimp.This has become an almost-daily occurrence.Communication between my benefactor(恩人)and me is somewhat handicapped by the fact that she doesn't speak English and all I can say in Mandarin is "hello".Once,she brought an iPad and pointed to the screen,which displayed a message from Nicole telling me that her mother wanted to know if the food was all right."Your mother just can't be bringing me meals like this all the time,"I protested.“I can hardly reciprocate by cooking something from my native land,like roast beef or Yorkshire pudding for her,”I said."Oh,no,"Nicole said."Don't worry about that.She has to cook for the family anyway,and she wants to do it for you.You can call her Wing,which is her surname."The tenant in my basement suite is a university student who speaks Mandarin quite well,so with her help,I have found out that Wing is 68-13 years younger than Iam-and that she lived through the Cultural Revolution.For my part, I was raised in wartime Britain.So here we are,two grandmothers a world away from where we were raised,neither of us able to speak the other’s langu age.But the doorbell keeps ringing and there is the familiar paper carrier bag,handed smilingly to me by Wing.Right now I am working on some more Mandarin words-it's the least I can do after such a display of kindness."Thank you"is,of course,the first one,which somehow seems inadequate.1.The author and Wing got to know each other .A.as next door neighborsB.when exchanging mealsC.by sharing similar experiencesD.after using an iPad to communicate2.The underlined word "reciprocate" in Paragraph 5 probably means .A.do as wellB.offer generouslyC.give in returnD.accept with pleasure3.The author's effort to learn Mandarin shows her .A.great satisfactionB.real kindnessC.heartfelt thanksD.sincere friendshipBIt’s not what you look at that matters;it's what you see.——Henry David Thoreau Slow Art Day is a global event with a simple mission: help more people discover for themselves the joy of looking at and loving art.Why slow?When people look slowly at a piece of art,they make discoveries.The most important discovery they make is that they can see and experience art without an expert.And that's an exciting discovery.It unlocks passion and creativity and helps to create more art lovers.How does it work?One day each year,people all over the world visit local museums and galleries to look at art slowly.Participants look at five works of art for 10 minutes each and thenmeet together over lunch to talk about their experience.That's it.Simple by design,the goal is to focus on the art.In fact,Slow Art Day works quite well this way.By the numbersOver l,200 individual Slow Art Day events have taken place since its official launch in 2010.Slow Art Day events have taken place on all seven continents.700 venues (museums,galleries,artist studios,sculpture parks,public an sites.etc.) have hosted Slow Art Day events.Participants love Slow Art DayFeedback on this simple event has been overwhelmingly positive.Here's a sample:“I loved taking the time to j ust 'be' with the works,particularly pieces I might otherwise walk by.It's a much better way of doing the art museum than the usual idle ramble.Discussion afterwards was fun,interesting,informative and eye-opening.I look forward to doing it again."Slow Art Day 2017 is Saturday,April 8,in museums and galleries worldwide.Join us and experience art differently.4.The author quotes Thoreau's words at the beginning to .A.arouse readers' interest in artB.introduce the topic of the textC.stress the importance of lookingD.illustrate the joy of art appreciation5.A typical slow art activity .sts about fifty minutes when people look at art works criticallyB.encourages people to see art for themselves and discuss with expertsanizes people to look at art on their own and talk about their experienceD.inspires people to make discoveries about art works and create their own works6.What can we learn about Slow Art Day from the text?A.The year of 2017 will see the eighth Slow Art Day.B.It happens once a year in all museums and galleries worldwide.C.It has become an art festival celebrated on all seven continents.D.Slow Art Day events have been held in over l,200 different places.7.According to the text,the author .A.has conducted a survey on Slow Art DayB.strongly recommends Slow Art Day eventsC.sees the good and bad sides of Slow Art DayD.is frequently involved in Slow Art Day eventsCGot big plans for Friday night?That's OK,we don't either.Guess we'll all have to make do by watching the celestial(天空的)show that will take place that night.First,there will be a full moon.That's always fun,but this one will be a little more special.It's known as a “snow moon.”The name comes from the fact that the heaviest snows usually fall during February,according to the Old Farmer's Almanac.But if that's not special enough,there's also an eclipse(月食)that night.It'll be a penumbral lunar eclipse, meaning it’s a partial eclipse that leaves sections of the moon darkened by the earth's shadow.No,it won't be as spectacular as those "blood moon" eclipses,It'll be subtler.The level of darkness it reached during the eclipse may or may not be apparent;it just depends on where you are when you view it.In North America,the eclipse begins at 5:34 p.m ET and ends at 9:53 p.m.ET,according to astronomy website EarthSky,The eclipse will be at its height around 7:44 p.m.ET. .If that's still not enough,let's throw in a comet(彗星)to the night's festivities.Comet 45P (it has a much longer name,but we won't burden you with it here) is visible as it flies by Earth.The comet will get within 7.4 million miles of the planet as it makes its closest approach this weekend,according to Universe Today.Comet 45P will be the most visible a couple of hours after the eclipse,so look to the skies again around 3 a.m.ET Saturday and find the greenish-blue light with a tail.And don't forget,a total big-time solar eclipse will streak across the United States on August 21st.8.According to the text,what can be viewed on Friday night?A.A blood moon.B.A total solar eclipse.C.A partial lunar eclipse.D.A comet without a tail.9.If you want to see Comet 45P,you will need to .A.wait around 7:44 p.m.ETB.stay up until 9:53 p.m.ETC.wake up before 3:00 a.m.ETD.start watching at 5:34 p.m.ET10.The author writes the text with the purpose of .A.introducing basic astronomy to the mediaB.sharing new discoveries with astronomy researchersC.promoting astronomical events among science studentsD. informing average readers of recent celestial phenomena11.Which can be a suitable title for the text?et 45P will be visible as it approaches the earthB.Penumbral lunar eclipse will happen on Friday nightC.Suggestions of fun scientific exhibitions for the coming weekendD.Eclipse,full moon,comet team up to put on a show on Friday nightDThe Super Bowl is the annual championship game of the National Football League (NFL).The game is the culmination(高潮)to a season that begins in the late summer of the previous calendar year.Normally,Roman numerals are used to identify each game,rather than the year in which it is held.For example,Super Bowl I was played on January 15,1967,following the 1966 regular season.The single exception to this rule is Super Bowl 50, which was played on February 7,2016,following the 2015 regular season.The next game,Super Bowl LII,scheduled for February 4,2018,will follow the 2017 regular season.The game was created as part of a merger(合并)agreement between the NFL and its then rival league,the American Football League (AFL).Currently,the Pittsburgh Steelers have the most Super Bowl victories,with six.The New England Patriots have the most Super Bowl appearances,with nine.The day (usually the first Sunday in February) on which the Super Bowl is played,now considered as an unofficial American national holiday,is called "Super Bowl Sunday".It is the second-largest day for U.S.food consumption,after Thanksgiving Day.In addition,the seven most-watched broadcasts in U.S. televisionhistory are Super Bowls.In 2015,Super Bowl XLIX attracted an audience of 114.4 million.Because of the high viewership,commercial airtime during the Super Bowl broadcast is the most expensive of the year,leading to companies regularly developing their most expensive advertisements for this broadcast.As a result,watching and discussing the broadcast's commercials has become a significant aspect of the event.In addition, popular singers and musicians including Michael Jackson,Madonna,Prince,Beyonce,Paul McCartney,The Rolling Stones,The Who,Whitney Houston,and Lady Gaga have performed during the event's pregame and halftime ceremonies.12.According to the text,in the Super Bowl .A.the New England

Sunday,American people usually .A.buy expensive Super Bowl ticketsB.consume the most food of the yearC.avoid the Super Bowl commercialsD.enjoy performances by famous artists14.In 2015,the Super Bowl

Football League every yearD.has frequently been the most watched American television broadcast of the year第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)根据短文容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

AAn 80-year-old man was sitting on the sofa in his house along with his 45-year-old highly educated son.Suddenly a crow(乌鸦)perched on the tree near their window.The father asked his son, “What is this?”The son replied, “I t is a crow.”After a few minutes, the father asked his son the second time, “What is this?”The son said, “Father, I have just now told you.

On opening a page, he asked his son to read that page. When the son read it, the following words were written in the diary:“Today my little son aged three was sitting with me on the sofa, when a crow was sitting on the window. My son asked me 23 times what it was, and I replied to him all 23 times that it was crow. I hugged him lovingly each time he asked me the same question again and again for 23 times.

An Old Man.C. Father’s Love.D. An Old Diary.BPhiladelphia, Pennsylvania is America’s fifth largest city. Once a major American colonial city, it is the home of America’s first library, its first hospital, and its first zoo. Now it is also the first US city to be named a World Heritage City. On November 6, 2015, Philadelphia joined more than 260 other cities that have been recognized for their influence on the world. These cities include Paris, France, Florence, Italy, and Cairo, Egypt.“Today marks the start of a new and exciting chapter in the history of Philadelphia,”remarked Philadelphia Mayor Michael Nutter when the announcement was made. “As a World Heritage City, Philadelphia is being officially recognized on the global stage for its wealth of contributions to the world.To be named a World Heritage City, a city must be home to a UNESCO World Heritage site. UNESCO World Heritage sites are selected for their universal value and significance. For Philadelphia, the site is Independence Hall.Independence Hall is where two of the most important documents in US history—the Declaration of Independence and the US Constitution—were adopted. The Declaration of Independence, approved on July 4, 1776, united the 13 former British colonies and declared them independent from British rule. The US Constitution, signed in 1787, established the American democratic system of government. A democracy is a system of government in which the people elect their leaders. The Constitution later spelled out the basic freedoms American citizens have.Philadelphia Deputy Mayor Alan Greenberger says the city’s selection as a World Heritage City also reflects its educational, cultural, and economic achievements. The city is home to dozens of colleges and universities, and many museums, such as the Philadelphia Museum of Art. “Philadelphia has rightfully earned its place as one of the greatest cities in the world.” Greenberger says.5. We can learn from Paragraph 1 that Philadelphia ________.A. as contributed a lot to the global economyB. has been famous as a World Heritage CityC. has the best American hospitalD. is known for many America’s firsts6. In Paragraph 2, Michael Nutter is talking about _________.A. the World Heritage CityB. the history of PhiladelphiaC. the significance of the city’s selectionD. the contributions of the city7. What opinion does Alan Greenberger hold?A. The city really deserves the honor.B. The honor will bring the city a better future.C. It won’t be long before the city takes off.D. It’s easy for the city to win the honor.8. What could be the best title for the text?A. Philadelphia Makes a DifferenceB. Philadelphia Makes HistoryC. Philadelphia Develops a LotD. Philadelphia Wins Global RespectCBy now, we are all aware that social media has had a tremendous influence on our culture, in business, on the world-at-large. Social media websites revolutionized the way people communicate and socialize on the Web. However, aside from seeing your friends’ new baby on Facebook, or re ading about Justin Bieber’s latest conflict with the law on Twitter, what are some of the real influences?Social networks offer the opportunity for people to re-connect with their old friends and acquaintances, make new friends, share ideas and pictures, and many other activities. Users can keep pace with the latest global and local developments, and participate in campaigns and activities of their choice. Professionals use social media sites like LinkedIn to enhance their career and business development. Students can work together with their peers to improve their academic and communication skills.Unfortunately, there are a few downsides too to social networking. If you are not careful, immoral people can target you for cyber bullying and disturbance on social sites. School children, young girls, and women can fall victim to online attacks which can create tension and suffering. If you are a victim of cyber bullying, do not take it lying down, but try to take appropriate legal action against the attacker.Many companies have blocked social networks as addicted employees can distract themselves on such sites, instead of focusing on work. In fact, studies show that British companies have lost billions of dollars per year in productivity because of social mediaaddiction among employees.Also, what you carelessly post on the Net can come back to trouble you. Revealing (泄露) personal information on social sites can make users vulnerable (易受伤害的) to crimes like identity theft, stalking, etc. Many companies perform a background check on the Web before hiring an employee. If a potential employee has posted something embarrassing on social media, it can greatly affect their chances of getting the job. The same holds true for our relationships too, as our loved ones and friends may get to know if we post something undesirable on social networks.Social media has its advantages and drawbacks as each coin has two sides. It is up to each user to use social sites wisely to enhance their professional and social life, and exercise caution to ensure they do not fall victim to online dangers.9. Paragraph 2 mainly shows that social networks _________.A. help students finish their homeworkB. offer professionals good chancesC. guide users to make right choices users to make right choicesD. benefit users in various ways10. Faced with problems caused by social media, some companies ________.A. forbid the use of social networks during work timeB. avoid posting embarrassing informationC. refuse to hire potential addicted employeesD. take legal action against the attackers11. The main purpose of this passage is to _________.A. share experiences in using social mediaB. remind people to wisely use social mediaC. raise public awareness of social problemsD. provide some advice on social problemsDJoanne was stuck in a traffic jam in central Birmingham at 5:30 and at 6:30 she was expected to be chairing a meeting of the tennis club. At last,the traffic was moving. She swung quickly racing to her house. As she opened the door,she nearly tripped over Sheba.“Hey, Sheba,” she said, “I’ve got no time for you now, b ut I’ll take you out as soon as I get back from tennis club.”Then she noticed Sheba seemed to be coughing or choking. Obviously,she could hardly breathe.Immediately, Joanne realized she would have to take her to the vet (兽医).When she got there,the vet was just about to close for the day. Seeing the state of Sheba, Dr. Sterne brought her quickly into his office.“Listen,doctor,I’m really in a rush to get to a meeting. Can I leave her with you,and go and get changed? I’ll be back in ten minutes to pick her up,and then I'll take her on to the meeting with me. Is that OK?”“Sure.” said the doctor.Joan ne made the quick trip back to her house in a couple of minutes’. As she was once more entering the hallway,the phone by the door began to ring.“This is Dr.Sterne,” said in an anxious voice.“I want you to get out of that house immediately,” said the doctor’s voice. “I’m coming round right away, and the police will be there any time now. Wait outside!”At that moment,a police car screeched to a stop outside the house.Two policemen got out and ran into the house. Joanne was by now completely confused and very frightened. Then the doctor arrived.“Where’s Sheba? Is she OK?” shouted Joanne.“She’s fine, Joanne. I took out the thing which was choking her, and she’s OK now. ”Just then, the two policemen reappeared from the house, half-carrying a white-faced man, who could hardly walk. There was blood all over him.“My God,” said Joanne, “how did he get in there? And how did you know he was there?”“I think he must be a burglar.” said the doctor.“I knew he was there because when Ifinally removed what was stuck in Sheba’s throat: it turned out to be three human fingers.”12. What was Joanne supposed to do at 6:30?A. To attend a club meeting.B. To see her doctor.C. To walk her dog.D. To play tennis with her friends.13. Joanne wanted to get back to her home again ______.A. to catch the badly hurt burglarB. to phone the police stationC. to dress up for the meetingD. to wait for her dog to be cured14. From the passage,we can infer that ______.A. the police found the burglar had broken inB. Sheba fought against the burglarC. Joanne had planned to take her dog to the meetingD. the doctor performed a difficult operation on the dog15. In this passage,the writer intends to tell us that the dog is ______.A. cleverB. friendlyC. frighteningD. devoted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。

AAndy lived high in the Rocky Mountains. He hunted wild animals there and he also took other men to hunt, which was his work.One day a letter brought Andy a new job. This job changed both his feeling about animals and his way of hunting. The letter said, “I want to write a story about bighorn sheep (大角羊).I need pictures to go with my story. Will you get pictures of the sheep for me?”Andy’s two sons wanted their father to take the job. "We will help you!”they said. Bighorn sheep are very wild. Andy knew it would be hard to get their pictures. “But why not try?”they said.For days, Andy and his sons tried to get their pictures. They did not want the sheep to hear them or see them, so they walked softly. They hid behind rocks, but the sheep always ran away.Then one day,Andy and his sons walked around a big rock. They met some sheep face to face,but they didn’t run. “Now I know why the sheep run away,” Andy said. "They run becausewe come up behind them. From now on, we will stay where they can see us. ”The next day, Andy saw some sheep right out in the open. He and his sons walked toward them. They did not try to hide, and they did walk slowly. They knew that any fast move would frighten them away.“Don’t look direct at the sheep,” Andy said. "Wild animals do not like to be looked at. They will run away. ” They looked off to this side and to that side, and they walked closer and closer. And soon they were close enough to get good clear pictures.They made good friends with the wild sheep and sent many fine pictures to the writer for his story. Since then,they have never hunted the bighorn sheep again.21. What was the new job Andy got?A. To hunt bighorn sheep.B. To protect bighorn sheep.C. To take pictures of bighorn sheep.D.

Mine was a Schwinn coaster bike,second-hand,painted red and yellow by its previous owner. Iremember riding too fast down the big hill on Springfield Avenue.I knew at once that the world was mine to explore.A couple of years later, when I was 11, my grandmother visited from England,bringing me a bike. It was a dark green one, with three gears (齿轮)and hand brakes. As the owner of the first English bike my friends had ever seen,I was almost famous.Unlike my coaster bike, it was light--riding it felt like flying. I rode past big stone houses with their huge yards and trees. I rode past brick row houses. I rode alone and with groups of friends.That beloved bike went with me to college,carrying me to the library and to classes. Beyond transport,it was often a prop (道具):Pushing it along as I walked the college paths made me feel less self-conscious. Somehow,conversation flowed more easily on either side of a bike.After college,I lived abroad for a while. Returning from London,I discovered to my horror that my parents had sold my bike.For years after that, I didn’t have a bike that was really mine. Teaching in a New England prep school.(预备学校),I simply rode whatever bikes its graduates had left behind. I rode around the little town on bikes with gears and brakes that often failed. I did not take any of those bikes with me when I moved south to the coastal town where I now live. But after a while I missed riding.Finally, on a fall day,I bought a bike. Called a comfort bike, it has wider tires than my old bike and seven gears. But it is green—a brighter green bike.Still, I was a bit worried; I was a lot older. I brought the bike home and put on my helmet— I’d never worn a helmet before. Then I got on the bike. After a difficult start,I felt exactly as I was on that long-ago day on Springfield Avenue: free. Soon I wasriding along, watching the waves break. It seemed that everyone I passed smiled. And I knew they all remembered their first bike and how it had set them free. I wanted to call back to them,“ It still can!"24. According to the article, the authors beloved bike_.A. was a red and yellow coaster bikeB. made her the envy of all her friendsC. was her birthday gift from her grandmotherD. made her shy and awkward at times at college25. When she was teaching at a prep school,the author_.A. didn’t like her once-beloved bikeB. got out of the habit of riding bikesC. loved exploring the little town by riding aroundD. rode bikes that had been recommended to her by graduates26.

She challenged herself to ride a more demanding bike.D. She regained the feeling that her first bike had given her.27. What was the author’s main purpose in writing this article?A. To describe the different bikes she has been riding alone.B. To recall the joy and freedom she has enjoyed thanks to riding.C. To inform us of the fun and benefits of riding bikes with others.D. To tell us about how she grew up through her riding experiences.CIs it possible to persuade mankind to live without war? War is an ancient institution which has existed for at least six thousand years. It was always bad and usually foolish,but in the past the human race managed to live with it. Modern creativity has changed this. Either man will abolish war, or war will abolish man. For the present, it is nuclear weapons that cause the most serious danger, but bacteriological(使用细菌的) or chemical weapons, may soon offer an even greater threat. If we succeed in abolishing nuclear weapons,our work will not be done. It will never be done until we have succeeded in abolishing war. To do this,we need to persuade mankind to look upon international problems in a new way,not by contests of force,in which the victory goes to the side which is the most skillful in killing people, but by arbitration (仲裁) according to agreed principles of law. It is not easy to change very old mental habits,but this is what must be attempted.There are those who say that the adoption of this or that thought would prevent war. I believe this to be a big error. All thoughts are based on statements which are, at best, doubtfult and at worst,totally false. Their followers believe in them that they are willing to go to war in support of them.The movement of world opinion during the past few years has changed very largely such as we can welcome. It is believed that nuclear war must be avoided. Of course very difficult problems remain in the world,but the attitude towards them is a better one than it was several years ago. It has begun to be thought, even by the powerful men who decide whether we shall live or die, that people should reach agreements even if both sides do not find these agreements wholly satisfactory. It hasbegun to be understood that the important conflict nowadays is not between different countries, but between man and the atom bomb.28. It is implied in the first paragraph that war now is_.A. as bad as in the pastB. as necessary as in the pastG. worse than in the past D. not so dangerous as in the past29. The underlined word “this”in Paragraph 1 probably refers to “”A. improving weaponsB. abolishing warC. solving international problemsD. living a peaceful life30. From Paragraph 2,we learn that the author_.A. is a supporter of some modem thoughtsB. has no doubt about the truth of any thoughtC. believes the adoption of some thoughts could prevent warD. does not think the adoption of any thought could stop war31. What can be inferred about war according to the author?A. It must be abolished if man wants to survive.B. It is the only way to solve international problems.C. It is impossible for the people to live without war.D. It will be less dangerous because of the improvement of weapons.DTraditionally, it has been the worker’s role to work and management’s role to manage. Managers have planned and directed the firm’s operations with little thought of consulting the Jabor force. Managers have rarely felt forced to obtain the worker’s opinions or to explain their decisions to their employees. At most, companies have provided Hsuggestion boxes" in which woricers could place ideas for improving procedures. In recent years, however, many managementspecialists have been arguing that workers are more than sellers of labor^they have a vital stake (利害关系)in the company and may be able to make significant contributions to its management. Furthermore, major company decisions affect workers and their dependants. This is particularly true of plant closings, which may put thousands on the unemployment lines. Should workers, then, play a stronger role in management?Workers should have a role in management. At the very least, the labor force should he informed of major policy decisions. A common complaint among ordinary workers is the lack of information about company policies and actions. Between 1980 and 1985 about five million workers were the victims of plant closings and permanent layoffs (失业),often with no warning. At least 90 days' notice ought to be given in such circumstances so that workers have time to adjust. Management should consult workers before closing a plant, because the workers might be able to suggest ways of improving productivity and reducing costs and might be walling to make concessions (妥协)that will help keep the plant operating.It should become a general practice to include workers in some managerial decision making. There ought to be representatives of the workers on the firm’s board of directors or other major policy-making groups, If ordinary workers are given a voice in the planning and management of the work flow,they will help to make improvements, their spirits will rise,and their productivity will increase. As a further incentive (激励),they must be given a share in the company’s profits. This can be done through employee stock ownership plans (员工持股计划),bonuses, or rewards for efficiency and productivity. Finally, when a plant can no longer operate at a profit, the workers should begiven the opportunity to purchase the plant and run it themselves.32. What can we learn about managers from Paragraph 1?A. They were not quite qualified.B. They disliked "suggestion boxes".C. They never consulted the labor force.D. They seldom obtained workers,opinions.33. In recent years, many management specialists have been arguing that workers_.A. are not sellers of the products any longerB. should have a say in management of the companyC. are less affected by company decisions than beforeD. are able to make the final decisions for the company34. According to the passage, what happened between 1980 and 1985?A. Workers did not make necessary concessions.B. Many companies were closed because of strikes.C. Manageiis consulted workers before closing a plant.D. About 5 million workers were laid off without advance notice.35. If they are not given a voice in managerial decision making, workers_.A. cannot get a share in the company’s profitsB. will not have the opportunity to purchase the plantC. may lack the incentive to increase their productivityD. can still get bonuses for efficiency and productivity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,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

"Dear Google boss, my name is Chloe and when I ambigger I would like a job with Google," she wrote. "I also want to work in a chocolate factory and do swimming in the Olympics." The student said she liked computers and had a tablet she played games on. She even showed off a robot game that her dad gave her.It wasn't long before Sundar Pichai, CEO of Google, replied with his own letter on Google website. In a letter dated Feb. 3, Pichai wrote, "Dear Chloe, I'm glad that you like computers and robots, and hope that you will continue to learn about technology. I think if you keep working hard and follow your dreams, you can accomplish everything you set your mind to. I look forward to receiving your job application when you are finished with school"Her father, Andy Bridgewater told ABC News he was completely shocked that his daughter received a reply. But he wasn't surprised that she decided to write the letter in the first place.“She's got determination. She doesn't see the barriers that we face every day," he explained. "If she wants to do it, she will set out to do it and nothing will stop her."The father remarked that his daughter began jumping up and down after receiving the letter.

They live along the border of Kenya and Tanzania, moving their homes from time to time to follow their cattle, the source of their living.The Masai have become known as a people of fighters, protecting their cattle against lions and other enemies. Only men are fighters. They wear long hair, which is colored red with clay. They can have more than one wife. Women build and take care of the home, fixing food and making clothing. Women and children keep their heads shaved. Women can also become elders, once they have given birth to four healthy children.The Masai depend on their cattle for many parts of their life. They drink cow's milk and blood as a sacred drink. They use the cows' waste to cover and seal their homes. They don't kill their cattle for food, but if a cow is killed, then the horns (角) are used for containers; the hides are used to make shoes, clothing, ropes and bed coverings; and the bones are made into decorations.The more cattle a man owns, the richer he is considered to be. A man who owns 50 or fewer cattle is considered poor. A "rich" man has a thousand or more. The cattle, though owned by the man, are considered to belong to the man's entire family. The family names the cattle and can recognize each animal's unique voice.Masai houses are made from sticks and grass, but they are meant to be temporary, since the move of their cattle means that the Masai move as well.8.

The mission (任务) is planned for late 2018. SpaceX CEO Elon Musk said, "This presents an opportunity for humans to return to deep space for the first time in 45 years."The two unnamed people will fly aboard a spaceship which is set for its first unmanned test flight later this year. The co-operation of America's NASA space agency had made the plan possible. Mr. Musk said, "The two passengers will travel faster and further into the solar system than any before them." Like the Apollo astronauts before them, these individuals will travel into space carrying the hopes and dreams of all humankind, driven by the universal human spirit of exploration."We expect to conduct health and fitness tests, as well as begin initial training later this year. The first mission would be unmanned, and the next one―with crew―was expected in the second quarter of 2018," the rich businessman and inventor said, "The first passengers are entering this with their eyes open, knowing that there is some risk here. They're certainly not childish, and we'll do everything we can to reduce that risk, but it's not zero."The space tourists would make a circle around the Moon, scanning the lunar surface and then going well beyond. However, the mission will not involve a lunar landing. "If NASA decided to take part in a lunar fly-by mission, then the agency would have privilege," Mr. Musk said. The US has not sent astronauts to the Moon since the early 1970s.12. Which of the following statements is true according to the text?A. The two tourists can't afford to fly around the moon.B. Space travels are rooted in the spirit of human exploration.C. Initial training is expected to be conducted at the beginning of 2018.D. The two tourists are expected to fly at a slow speed.13.

Where can you most probably read the text?A. In a textbook.B. In a science fiction.C. In a travel brochure.D. On a news website.15. What can be a suitable title for the text?A. T he Coming Moon Trip of Two Private CitizensB. An Opportunity to Explore Space for the First TimeC. A Paid Trip Planned by SpaceX to 'Land on the MoonD. Two Unmanned Missions of Circling around the Moon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。

ADowntown Havana resident Margarita Marquez said she received a special Christmas gift this year: web access at home, a rarity in Cuba with one of the lowest internet penetration(渗透力) rates in the world.Marquez, a 67-year-old retired university professor, was among those selected by the government two weeks ago to participate in a pilot project bringing the web into the homes of 2,000 inhabitants of the historic center of the island’s capital.Most of Cuba’s 11.2 million people only have access to internet at Wi-Fi hotspots, and only then if they can afford the $1.50 hourly fee that represents around 5 percent of the average monthly state salary.Only 5 percent of Cubans are estimated to enjoy internet at home, which requires government permission. This is usually granted mainly to academics, doctors and intellectuals(知识分子). “It’s like a dream come true,” said Marquez, who lives with her sister in a second-story flat in a colonial-era building. “To be in touch with the outside world is important.”Her 80-year-old sister, Leonor Franco, said the news they had been selected came as a surprise and she was excited to be surfing the web for the first time.“I had never had any experience of internet,” she said, seated in front of a laptop she has owned for two years without web access, searching for videos of her favorite singers on YouTube.She said she wanted to learn how to surf the web properly so she could make the most of the experiment as long as the government provided free internet access.“From March we will have to start paying and we don’t know if we will be able to continue. So at least we are going to enjoy January and February,” she said.1. What does the underlined word “rarity” most probably mean in the first paragraph?A. Something fashionableB. Something popularC. Something unfairD. Something uncommon2. How much should a Havana resident pay if he or she surfs the internet for two hours every day for a month?A. About $100B. About $90C. About $80D. About $603. Which statement does Leonor Franco probably disagree with?A. The internet helps her keep in touch with the outside world.B. Web access is so important that she should take good advantage of it to learn more.C. It’s unnecessary to continue using the web once it has to be paid for.D. People hope the government can provide free internet access.4. What’s the best title of the passage?A. People surf web at homeB. A pilot project helps people surf webC. Residents surf web in HavanaD. People surf web at home in Havana pilot projectBJakarta, Indonesia—At least 23 people were killed and 17 others were missing after a ferry caught fire on Sunday off the coast of Indonesia’s capital, officials said.The sea wind was blowing heavily and the ship was carrying more than 230 people from Jakarta’s port of Muara Angke to Tidung, a resort island in the Kepulauan Seribu chain, when it caught fire, officials said. Most of the passengers were Indonesians celebrating the New Year’s holiday, according to local media reports.Seply Madreta, an official from the local Disaster Mitigation Agency, said the fire gutted around half the ship. He said that about 22 injured victims were rushed to hospitals, and that 23 bodies had been discovered.A search involving around 10 ships was underway to find those who were missing, the National Disaster Mitigation Agency said in a statement.Witnesses told MetroTV that the fire broke out about 15 minutes after the ship left Muara Angke. The cause of the fire was not immediately clear. Some passengers told local media that they first saw smoke coming from the ferry’s engine.“Most of the victims were found near the exit door at the front part of the ship. They may have attempted to escape the fire,” said Hendra Sudirman, acting head of Jakarta’s search and rescue office.5. Why did people take the ship to the island according to the passage?A. To celebrate Thanksgiving Day.B. To attend a conference.C. To enjoy the New Year’s holiday.D. To participate in a ceremony.6. How many victims were there in total suffering from the fire?A. 62B. 40C. 23D. 397. What is the reason for the fire according to the passage?A. Someone set fire to the engine deliberately.B. Some terrorists wanted to kill the passengers.C. The sea wind was too strong.D. The exact reason hasn’t been known so far.8. Where can you most probably read the passage?A. In a travel brochure.B. On a news website.C. In a textbook.D. In a science fiction.CMadrid’s city hall on Wednesday announced that it had ordered half of most private cars off the roads to fight pollution, a first in Spain.From Thursday, “Vehicles with even-number (偶数) registration plates will be allowed to drive around on even-number days and cars with odd-number (奇数) registration plates on odd-number days,” it said in a statement.The measure will be reevaluated on a daily basis depending on pollution levels.It is activated when levels of harmful nitrogen dioxide in the atmosphere go above 200 micrograms per cubic meter in at least two measuring stations for two days running, and if the air is unlikely to clear immediately.There are exceptions to the ban, such as for mopeds (摩托自行车), hybrid (油电混合动力) cars, those carrying three people or more or used by disabled people. Buses, taxis and emergency vehicles are also exempt.“It’s not about traffic restrictions but about the important issue of public health,”said DeputyMayor Marta Higueras.“Lots of people suffer from breathing problems and are very affected by pollution.”With 3.5 million residents and some 1.8 million cars, Madrid often suffers from bad bouts of pollution.The move to ban half the cars from the roads is level three out of four antipollution measures. Level four also bans taxis from the city, except those using hybrid cars.Inigo Henriquez de Luna, PP spokesman in Madrid’s local parliament, slammed it as “ideological”and said authorities should do more to encourage residents to avoid using their cars rather than punish them.The move follows a similar decision by French capital Paris earlier this month.9.

AMy doorbell rings at 11 a.m. On the step, I find an elderly Chinese lady. She is small and slight. She holds a paper carrier bag in her hands.I know this lady. It is by no means her first visit. Her daughter, Nicole, bought the house next door last October. Nicole, who is currently in Shanghai, has apparently told her mother that I am having heart surgery shortly, and the result is that her mother has decided I need to be supplied with meals.I know what is inside the paper carrier bag —a stainless-steel container with a meal of rice, vegetables and either chicken, meat or shrimp. This has become an almost-daily occurrence.Communication between my benefactor (恩人)and me is somewhat handicapped by the fact that she doesn’t speak English and all I can say in Mandarin is “hello”. Once, she brought an iPad and pointed to the screen, which displayed a message from Nicole telling me that her mother wanted to know if the food was all right.“Your mother just can’t be bringing me meals like this all the time” I protested. “I can hardly reciprocate by cooking something from my native land, like roast beef or Yorkshire pudding for her” I said.“Oh,no,” Nicole said. “Don’t worry about that. She has to cook for the family anyway, and she wants to do it for you. You can call her Wing, which is her surname.”The tenant in my basement suite is a university student who speaks Mandarin quite well, so with her help, I have found out that Wing is 68—13 years younger than I am — and that she lived through the Cultural Revolution. For my part, I was raised in wartime Britain.So here we are, two grandmothers a world away from where we were raised, neither of us able to speak t he other’s language. But the doorbell keeps ringing and there is the familiar paper earner bag, handed smilingly to me by Wing.Right now I am working on some more Mandarin words—it’s the least I can do after such a display of kindness.“Thank you” is, of course,the first one, which somehow seems inadequate.1. The author and Wing got to know each other .A. as next door neighborsB. when exchanging mealsC. by sharing similar experiencesD. after using an iPad to communicate2. The underlined word “reciprocate” in Paragraph 5 probably means.A. do as wellB. offer generouslyC. give in returnD. accept with pleasure3. The author’s effort to learn Mandarin shows her .A. great satisfactionB. real kindnessC. heartfelt thanksD. sincere friendshipBIt’s not what you look at that matters; it’s what you see.——Henry David Thoreau Slow Art Day is a global event with a simple mission: help more people discover for themselves the joy of looking at and loving art.Why slow?When people look slowly at a piece of art,they make discoveries. The most important discovery they make is that they can see and experience art without an expert. And that’s an exciting discovery. It unlocks passion and creativity and helps to create more art lovers.How does it work?One day each year, people all over the world visit local museums and galleries to look at art slowly. Participants look at five works of art for 10 minutes each and then meet together over lunch to talk about their experience. That^ it. Simple by design, the goal is to focus on the art. In fact, Slow Art Day works quite well this way.By the numbersOver 1,200 individual Slow Art Day events have taken place since its official launch in 2010. Slow Art Day events have taken place on all seven continents.700 venues (museums, galleries, artist studios, sculpture parks, public art sites, etc.) have hosted Slow Art Day events.Participants love Slow Art DayFeedback on this simple event has been overwhelmingly positive. Here’s a sa mple:“I loved taking the time to just ‘be’ with the works, particularly pieces I might otherwise walk by. It’s a much better way of doing the art museum than the usual idle ramble. Discussion afterwards was fun,interesting, informative and eye-opening. I look forward to doing it again.”Slow Art Day 2017 is Saturday, April 8, in museums and galleries worldwide.

That’s OK, we don’t either.Guess we’ll all have to make do by watching the celestial (天空的)show that will take place that night.First, there will be a full moon. That’s always fun, but this one will be a little more special. It’s known as a “snow moon.” The name comes from the fact that the heaviest snows usually fall during February, according to the Old Farmer’s Almanac.But if that’s not special enough, there’s also an eclipse (月食)that night. It’ll be a penumb ral lunar eclipse, meaning ifs a partial eclipse that leaves sections of the moon darkened by the earth’s shadow. No, it won’t be as spectacular as those “blood moon” eclipses. It’ll be subtler. The level of darkness it reached during the eclipse may or may not be apparent; it just depends on where you are when you view it.In North America, the eclipse begins at 5:34 p.m. ET and ends at 9:53 p.m. ET, according to astronomy website EarthSky. The eclipse will be at its height around 7:44 p.m. ET.If that’s still not enough, let’s throw in a comet (彗星)to the night’s festivities.Comet 45P (it has a much longer name, but we won’t burden you with it here) is visible as it flies by Earth. The comet will get within 7.4 million miles of the planet as it makes its closest approach this weekend, according to Universe Today.Comet 45P will be the most visible a couple of hours after the eclipse, so look to the skies again around 3 a.m. ET Saturday and find the greenish-blue light with a tail.And don’t forget, a total big-time solar eclipse will streak across the United States on August 21st.8. According to the text, what can be viewed on Friday night?A. A blood moon.B. A total solar eclipse.C. A partial lunar eclipse.D. A comet without a tail.9.

Eclipse, full moon, comet team up to put on a show on Friday nightThe Super Bowl is the annual championship game of the National Football League (NFL). The game is the culmination (髙潮)to a season that begins in the late summer of the previous calendar year. Normally, Roman numerals are used to identify each game, father than the year in which it is held. For example, Super Bowl I was played on January 15, 1967, following the 1966 regular season. The single exception to this rule is Super Bowl 50, which was played on February 4, 2018, will follow the 2017 regular season.The game was created as part of a merger (合并)agreement between the NFL and its then-rival league, the American Football League (AFL). Currently, the Pittsburgh Steelers have the most Super Bowl victories, with six. The New England Patriots have the most Super Bowl appearances, with nine.The day (usually the first Sunday in February) on which the Super Bowl is played, now considered as an unofficial American national holiday, is called “Super Bowl Sunday”. It is the second-largest day for U.S. food consumption, after Thanksgiving Day. In addition, the seven most-watched broadcasts in U.S. television history are Super Bowls. In 2015, Super Bowl XLIX attracted an audience of 114.4 million.Because of the high viewership, commercial airtime during the Super Bowl broadcast is the most expensive of the year, leading to companies regularly developing their most expensive advertisements for this broadcast. As a result, watching and discussing the broadcast's commercials has become a significant aspect of the event. In addition, popular singers and musicians including Michael Jackson, Madonna, Prince, Beyonce, Paul McCartney, The Rolling Stones, The Who, Whitney Houston, and Lady Gaga have performed during the event's pre-game and halftime ceremonies.12.
