The glacier-covered peaks in his hometown in New Zealand proved a perfect training ground for the Himalaya. It was his fourth Himalayan expedition in just over two years and he was at the peak of fitness.On May 28, 1953, Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay, an experienced Sherpa (夏尔巴人) set out and reached the South Summit by 9 a. m. next day. But after that, the ridge (山脊) slightly fell before rising suddenly in a rocky spur (尖坡) about 17 meters high just before the true summit. The formation is difficult to climb due to its extreme pitch because a mistake would be deadly. Scratching at the snow with his ax, Hillary managed to overcome this enormous obstacle, later to be known as the Hillary Step.At 11:30 a. m, the two men found themselves standing at the top of the world. “Not until we were about 50 feet of the top was I ever completely convinced that we were actually going to reach the summit.” Hillary later recounted, “Of course I was very, very pleased to be on the summit, but my first thought was a little bit of surprise. After all, this is the ambition of all mountaineers.”Emerging as the first to summit Mount Everest, Hillary Hillary continued by helping explore Antarctica, and establishing the Himalayan Trust (信托基金), through which he provided a number of beneficial services to the Himalayan peoples. He also a sizeable legacy that mountain climbers have chased ever since. As a young climber said, “It was not just Hillary and Tenzing that reached the summit of Mount Everest. It was all of humanity. Suddenly, all of us could go.”4．What made Edmund Hillary a capable climber on the 1953 expedition?A．His undisputed reputation.B．His remarkable physical condition.C．His previous training on Mount Everest.D．His exceptional ability to adapt to the cold.5．What does the Hillary Step refer to?A．A mistake Hillary avoided making.B．A steep spur of rock Hillary conquered.C．An ax Hillary used to scratch snow.D．A sudden fall of a ridge Hillary skipped. 6．What was Hillary’s initial feeling upon reaching the summit of Mount Everest?A．Overwhelming joy.B．Enormous pride.C．Complete disbelief.D．A touch of astonishment.7．What was the impact of Hillary’s achievement on mountaineering?A．It opens up possibilities for other climbers.B．It enabled him to give back to his hometown.C．It left financial benefits for climbers to pursue.D．It led to friendly regulations for mountaineering.With the availability of easy-to-use at-home kits, DNA testing for dogs has become increasingly popular among dog owners in recent years. It can provide invaluable insights into a dog’s breed, health risks, and even behaviors.DNA testing typically works by analyzing the genetic material found in a sample of cells taken from the inside of your dog’s cheek. This sample is then compared to a database of known breeds and genetic markers associated with certain traits or health conditions.The first step in obtaining a DNA test kit is selecting which type you want. Most companies offer several different types of tests that vary in cost and complexity. For instance, some tests just analyze your dog’s breed composition, while others can assess additional genetic markers associated with certain diseases or behaviors.Then it’s time to collect your dog’s sample using the provided swab (拭子) kit or saliva-collection tube included with most kits. The swab should be gently rubbed inside your pet’s cheek according to the kit’s directions before being placed into the collection container provided by the company. After collecting the sample, it should be mailed back to the laboratory for processing according to instructions given by the company providing the service. Once received by the lab, it typically takes 1-2 weeks for results to be processed and sent back via email or mail. Results will vary depending on which type of test was purchased,but they generally include detailed information about your pet’s breed composition as well as any potential health risks or behavioral traits associated with their genetics that could affect their overall well-being and quality of life.If you’re looking for an easy way to learn more about your pup’s background without spending too much money, then DNA testing might just be right up your alley.8．What is the primary purpose of DNA testing for dogs?A．To identify a dog’s personality traits.B．To reveal a dog’s future behavioral changes.C．To determine a dog’s socialization preferences.D．To obtain a dog’s breed and genetic information.9．How does DNA testing for dogs typically work?A．By analyzing the dog’s hair and fur.B．By conducting a blood test on the dog.C．By matching the dog’s DNA with a database.D．By studying the dog’s genetic health history.10．What is the correct order of having an DNA test?①get the sample processed①rub the swab gently①receive the result①select the type of test①place the swab into the container①mail the sample back to the labA．①-①-①-①-①-①B．① ①-①-①-①-①C．①-①-①-①-①-①D．①-①-①-①-①-①11．What is the text?A．A dog advertisement.B．A dog DNA experiment.C．A dog DNA testing survey.D．A dog DNA test kit promotion.In 2022, campaign group Fashion Revolution Chelsea dye garden for its Chelsea Flower Show presentation. An ancient craft, natural dyeing is a practice whose time has come again, with hand tie-dyed fashion also making a comeback in recent years.The revival has been encouraged by Covid lockdowns, “which allowed people to explore the craft at home,” says natural-dyeing enthusiast and teacher Susan Dye. It’s unlikely, though, that the practice would have caught on in quite the same way if not for a continually growing discomfort about fashion’s heavy footprint. From carbon emissions to animal cruelty,fashion is under considerable inspection. “Put it this way, 97% of dyes used in the industry are petrochemically (石油化学产品) based,” says sustainable fashion consultant Jackie Andrews, who helped advise the UN Ethical Fashion Initiative. “We’ve got net zero targets which mean we’re going to have to remove all those petrochemicals from the manufacturing cycle.”Fashion is a huge polluter. According to the UN Environment Program, the industry is responsible for up to one-fifth of all industrial water pollution — due to the fact that most clothes today are produced in poorer countries where regulation is weak and enforcement weaker still. Waste water is dumped directly into rivers and streams, poisoning the land as well as the water sources of people and animals who rely on them.It’s easy to see why someone who cares about people, planet and animals, as well as clothes, might turn to natural plant dyeing. From the beauty of the raw materials-often wild plants-to the property of only bonding with natural fiber like cotton and linen, from the minor footprint of upclycling old clothing that has grayed or faded over time to the vibrant and long-lasting dyeing results, plant dyeing feels like a quiet act of rebellion. This is why, while beginners start with simply changing their clothes’ color, new worlds open. Many of today’s natural dyers grow their own dye plants, run local community workshops, and advocate for change in industrialized fashion systems and beyond.12．What is the main reason for the growing discomfort mentioned in paragraph 2?A．The adoption of petrochemical-based dyes.B．The challenging net zero targets to be achieved.C．The fashion industry’s focus on luxurious designs.D．The disturbing consequences of the fashion industry.13．The author illustrates “Fashion is a huge polluter” by ______.A．making a comparison B．giving examplesC．listing numbers D．introducing a new topic14．What does the underlined phrase “a quiet act of rebellion” in paragraph 4 refer to?A．A protest against turning to natural fiber.B．An objection to upcycling old clothing.C．A struggle for a sustainable fashion industry.D．A resistance to vibrant colors in natural dyeing.15．What would be the most suitable title for the passage?A．The Environmental Impact of Natural DyeingB．Fashion Revolution’s Dye Garden PresentationC．The Return of Natural Dyeing with Ethical AppealD．The Petrochemical Dye Industry and Its Challenges二、七选五Some pals and I were in the midst of a pinball competition at a bar the other night when the machine kept breaking down. We called over a very busy employee who’s responsible for helping keep the place running. He put everything aside to fix our problematic pinballwas just doing the job he was paid to do. I insisted and got the group to agree to the plan, although somewhat reluctantly.My pinball wizard didn’t stretch out his hand, but how many times have we run across those payment screens that suggest a 20% tip for being handed a sandwich we ordered? 17 There is data to back up the trend: 66% of American adults have a negative view of tipping, and 32% say they’re sick of those payment-screen hints, according to a recent Bankrate survey.18 I admit there are times I suspect the tipping thing has gone too far - say, when I’m at a self-checkout line and there’s still request to leave something extra. But I’m generally willing to err on the side of caution: If someone is expecting a tip, I’ll assume they have financial reasons to do so. 19Plus, tipping is good karma (因果报应). It’s always worth it to tip in unexpected situations- ones that don’t necessarily involve a hint on a payment screen.20 He was so grateful for the $10 tip that later that night, he rewarded our group with well more than $10 in free tokens (代金券) for future play.So next time, there must be no arguments with my friends when times come to tip.A．This leads to what’s been called ”tipping fatigue (疲劳)”B．So, why am I willing to go against the trend and say yes?C．I suggested we tip him $10 and split the tip among all of us.D．There’s an argument that we should ban tipping altogether.E．Guess what happened next with my pinball-machine fixer at the bar?F．One dollar or two won’t make or break me, but it can possibly help with their rent.G．Should they earn far below the minimum wage, employers must make up the difference.三、完形填空said to me, “You’re not going to finish college. There are other things for you to do, but that’sas a child. Having my 24 taken from me, I felt entirely 25 .I worked and worked, and 26 graduated from college, which took me four years longer than others. After that, I applied to a graduate program and 27 someone, my advisor Susan to take me on, and so I 28 at Princeton. I still felt I was not supposed to be there. The night before my first-year 29 I was so afraid that I called her and said, “I’m 30 ” She said, “You’re going to stay, and this is what you’re going to do. You are going to 31 it and do every talk that you ever get asked to do, even if you’re 32 until you have this moment where you say, ‘Oh my gosh, I’m doing it. I have become this.’”So that’s what I did. I spent five years in graduate school and got my degree. Now I am a public speaker. I realized that I had not just faked it till I made it, I had faked it till 33 it.

Today, everyone at the university knows her as the “Squirrel Girl”.Sophie tried bringing them food, and gradually they began to trust her. She managed to put a hat on a squirrel and take a picture. Thinking that her colleagues could do with something to lift their spirits, she started posting similar photos on Facebook. The response was greatly positive, and before long Sophie and her squirrels became an Internetsensation.Growing up in a neighborhood outside ofState College, Sophie was always fond of birds and animals around her home, but she didn't interact with people very much. She was later diagnosed (诊断) with Asperger's syndrome, but the squirrels changed that. “The squirrels help me break the ice, because I'll be sitting here patting a squirrel and other people will come over and well just start like feeding the squirrels together and chatting about them,” she said, “I am a lot more outgoing.”And in case you're wondering how Sophie is able to get the squirrels to do what she wants for her photos, it has a lot to do with food. For example, whenever she wants them to hold or play with something, she puts peanut butter on the prop (道具), and they'll grab it. In the beginning, she would throw peanuts up the trees on campus and invite the squirrels to come down and get them, but they hesitated to approach her.

This is causing polar ice to melt, sea-levels to rise and has brought about adangerous increase in extreme weather events. These intense climatic changes would likely present challenges to our society and environment.The causes of climate change are mainly anthropogenic (人为的) in nature. Since the industrial revolution, human activities have increased the amount of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. The increased amount of gases which absorb heat has led to more heat being kept in the atmosphere, causing global warming.The certainty of global warming can be seen through some of the natural phenomena like the effect on crops and extreme weather conditions around the world. The most recent assessment report says that the earth’s average temperature has risen by 0. 74 degrees in the period from 1906 to 2005, and that the average temperature will continue to rise. There have also been more violent downpours, sea levels have risen and the ice at the world’s poles and on its mountains is melting. The rising sea level is flooding the low-lying countries inAsiaand small islands in the Pacific. This may lead to the displacement of millions of people, loss of millions of land and consequently billions of dollars.Troubled by the serious situation, world leaders came together for the 2015 United Nations (UN) Climate Change Conference inParis. The climate talks led to 196 countries reaching a landmark agreement that will, for the first time, commit nearly every country to lowering planet-warming greenhouse gas emissions to address global climate change. That was certainly an encouraging step forward for our earth and mankind!As the world leaders continue to commit themselves to monitor our sick planet, we need to continue to takesmall steps to heal the world. We are left with not much of a choice. If only we could just pack our bags and migrate to Mars!12. What does paragraph 2 mainly talk about?A. The information of industrial revolution.B. The greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.C. The reasons of climate change.D. The result of extreme weather events.13. What can we infer from the last paragraph?A. We have made great achievements.B. Some measures are still required to take.C. Mars is suitable for people’s living.D. Some countries will receive urgent aid.14. Which can be a suitable title for the text?A. Long Live Planet Earth!B.Environment Changes Rapidly!C. What Serious Global Warming!D. How Important the UN Agreement Is!15. Which of the following shows the structure of the whole text?A. B.C. D.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

Studies show men are better at hitting targets（靶子） and solving math problems67women are better at memorizing words and68faces. Why the differences?A test of the brain’ s electrical activity shows that women commonlyuseboth sides of theirbrain while men rely more on one. Scientists already know that the two sides of the brain control different functions— one controlling the sense of space,69 , the other controlling language. Some researchers believe that the different ways men and women use their brains70from ancient times, when cave men hunted and women71the children. Men had to have good aim.

Reading Comprehension.AAs the world watched the twin towers of the World Trade Center come under attack, acommon phrase was repeated:“ It looks like a movie.”But this time there was no superman to save the people or the famous building. The attackdestroyed one of the world’ s highest skyscrapers and left 5,000 people dead or missing.Movie fans have become used to such events after years of Hollywood films showingdisasters, terrorism( 恐惧主义 ) and danger, The Empire State Building, the White House, NewYork City and even the American president himself have all been threatened by terrorist attacks inthese exciting films.The film “ True Lies ” , released(刊行)in 1994 is considered to be a good example of thiskind of movie. The special effects, including explosions and missiles, make the action look like areal thing.“ IndependenceDay” in 1996 took this type of movie one step further by blowing up theWhite House. This science fiction movie is about a war between human beings and aliens(外来人)from another planet. In the movie, the World Trade Center towers are destroyed.Violence has become a major part of Hollywood movies. And this is what people enjoy. Soonafter the attacks, many famous film companies stopped the planned releases of some of their newmovies, especially if their films showed terrorist attacks or plane crashes.“ Swordfish”the American box office in June, . B ut the movie’ s story was frighteningly similar to the Sept.11disaster. The film would have been stopped in American and British cinemas after the attack.But it’ s unlikely that Hollywood will stay quiet for long. It is already waiting for the feelingin America to calm down.75. What is the main subject of the newspaper article?A ． The relationship between the Sept.11 attack and Hollywood films.B．The effect of the Sept.11 attack on Hollywood filmsC．The response Hollywood made to the Sept.11 attack.D． The result of Hollywood films showing violence and disasters.76. Which of the following is true?A ．Hollywood made a lot of money out of the film“ Swordfish” in June.B ． Hollywood stopped making films showing terrorism and disasters after the Sept.11 attack.C．“ Swordfish” was not allowed to be shown after the Sept.11 attack.D ．The World Trade Center was destroyed because no superman came to save it.77. From this article we know that.A ． Hollywood is a filmmaking center making films of violence and disastersB．too many Hollywood films showing terrorism and disasters resulted in the Sept.11 attackC．people who were used to the Hollywood films were not shocked at the Sept.11 attack.D． in fact, the Sept.11 attack had nothing to do with Hollywood filmsBLast week, I bought an alarm system( 报警系统 ) for about $ 450. It consisted of a controlunit with three other small units. I put the control unit in the sitting room and fastened the other units by the front door, back door and living-room windows. The instructions told us to choose three numbers, so we chose 491, the last three numbers of our telephone number.Now I must explain how the alarm works:1.There is a power siren( 警报器 ) in the control unit. It makes a very loud noise.2.Each of the small units sends out beams( 光束 ) or rays in different directions. If anything moves, it breaks a beam. This sends a signal to the control unit. The siren makes a noise that you can hear 50 meters away.3.When we go to bed, I press the three buttons numbered 4, 9 and 1. Then we have 30 seconds to get out of the room before the alarm starts to work.That might I slept soundly because I was sure that no burglar( 夜贼 ) could get into our house. However, at about 2:10a.m., I woke up and heard the siren( 警报 ).“ There must be a burglar in the house,” Mary said.“ What shall we do?“ I ’ ll go and see who’ s there,” I said.“ Stay here. Don’ t make a noise.I went downstairs quietly. When I reached the living room, I switched on my torch and looked round the room. Then I turned the light on. I switched the siren off and searched the rooms downstairs. There was nothing wrong except that the back door was unlocked. I locked it, re-setthe alarm and went back to bed.About an hour later, the alarm started again. I jumped out of bed, fell over a chair in the darkand bumped into the bedroom door. Mary woke up and started hitting me with a torch.a minute!” I whispered.“ It’ s only me. I’ m going downstairs to see whatI went down into the living room and listened for a moment. The only sound I could hear wasthe siren. I turned on the light and then switched the siren off. As I did so, I glanced across at the curtains in front of the windows. I saw a house lizard (蜥蜴) disappear behind the curtains.“ Oh! ” I said to myself.“ That’ s our burglar.”When the lizard moved, it started the siren. I guessed that the alarm had been made in Europe, where there are no house lizards.Well, I won’ t finish this story but if you want an alarm system free of charge, let me know.I ’ ll send you ours. We bought a dog this morning. It knows the difference between a lizard and a burglar.78. The writer bought an alarm system to.A ． make sure that he got up early every dayB．warn him when there were lizards in his houseC．frighten burglars and tell him that somebody had got into the houseD． make Mary feel safe to live in the large room79.

Unless watched,she will walk in the streets in an effort to find her father, who died 30 years ago.Not all cases of Alzheimer’ s disease look like this, but Alzheimer’ s is a serious disease that is said to be the fourth or fifth leading cause of death for people over age 75.It is said that about three percent of the U.S. population over age 65 have Alzheimerearly stages, people may exhibit short term memory loss.

For two weeks I would try to be a loving husband and father. Totally loving. No ifs, ands or buts.The idea had come to me as I listened to a talk on my car radio. The speaker was quoting a Biblical（圣的） passage about husbands being thoughtful of their wives. Then he went on to say, "Love is an act of will. A person can choose to love." To myself, I had to admit that I had been a selfish husband. Well, for two weeks that would change.And it did. Right from the moment I kissed Evelyn at the door and said, "That new yellow sweater（套衫）looks great on you.""Oh, Tom, you noticed, "she said, surprised and pleased. Maybe a little puzzled.After the long drive, I wanted to sit and read. Evelyn suggested a walk on the beach. I started to refuse, but then I thought, "Evelyn's been alone here with the kids all week and now she wantsto be alone with me. "We walked on the beach while the children flew their kites.So it went. Two weeks of not calling the Wall Street firm where I am a director; a visit to the shell museum though I usually hate museums. Relaxed and happy, that's how the whole vacation passed.

2019-2020学年华中师范大学第一附属中学高三英语三模试卷及参考答案
2019-2020学年华中师范大学第一附属中学高三英语三模试卷及参考答案第一部分阅读（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项AIt looks like 2017 is shaping up to be a record-breaking year in movie History. Here is a list of some of the year’s biggest blockbusters so far.Kong: Skull IslandA reboot (重启) of King Kong would normally get laughed at in this day and age, but it looks like this modem version of the story will be worth watching. With US actress Brie Larson and UK actor Tom Hiddleston in the mix, this film is set to be this year’s biggest monster tale.Release Date:3/10/17Beauty and the BeastDirector Bill Condon is bringing back a part of our childhood in live action, complete with the songs we all remember and love. With British stars Emma Watson and Dan Stevens leading thecast, the classic Walt Disney story already sounds like it’ll be a delight for both children and adults.Release Date:3/17/17The Fate of the FuriousThere was doubt that we’d even get a Fast 8, especially after the fitting ending US actor Paul Walker’s character was given at the end of Furious 7. Fans thought they’d never see Dom and the rest of the crew back in action, but thankfully, US star Vin Diesel himself confirmed that The Fate of the Furious is fueling up for another go.Release Date:4/14/17Spider-Man: HomecomingSpider Man is heading home to Marvel Studios for the first time. The movie will show us Peter Parker’s high school days, and will continue the threads we saw formed during his initial appearance in Captain America: Civil War. We know that Michael Keaton is playing The Vulture in this story, and that both Happy Hogan and Tony Stark, played by US actors Jon Favreau and Robert Downey Jr., are along for the ride.Release Date:7/7/171.Which of the following movies can’t you see on May Day?A.Kong: Skull Island.B.Beauty and the Beast.C.The Fate of the Furious.D.Spider-Man: Homecoming.2.What can we know about Beauty and the Beast?A.It is fueling up for another go.B.It is produced by Marvel StudiosC.It’ll show us Peter Parker’s school days.D.It’ll be enjoyable for both children and adults.3.What does the underlined word “cast” probably mean?A.Characters.B.Actors.C.Directors.D.Teachers.BOne billion people in the world are short of water. How can this problem be solved. Some suggestions have been to desalinate ocean water or to build enormous water pipelines from areas where water is abundant. (Suggestions such as these prove extremely expensive when they are actually used.) One possibility that scientists are considering is pulling icebergs from either the North Pole or the South Pole to parts of the world with a water shortage. Although many questions must be answered before such a project could be tried, moving icebergs seems a reasonable possibility in the future.Engineers, mathematicians, and glaciologists from a dozen countries have been considering the iceberg as a future source of water. Saudi Arabia is particularly interested in this project because it has a great water shortage. Scientists estimate that it would take 128 days to transport a large iceberg (about 1/2 square mile) to Saudi Arabia. Yet the iceberg would be completely melted by the 104th day. Therefore, insulation would be essential, but how to insulate the iceberg remains an unsolved problem.The problems in transporting an iceberg are numerous. The first problem is choosing the iceberg to pull. The icebergs that form in the North Pole are quite difficult to handle because of their shape. Only a small portion extends above the water — most of the iceberg is below the surface, which would make it difficult to pull. South Pole icebergs, on the other hand, are flat and float like table tops. Thus they would be much easier to move.How can a 200-million-ton iceberg be moved. No ship is strong enough to pull such enormous weight through the water. Perhaps several ships could be used. Attaching ropes to an iceberg this size is also an enormous problem. Engineers think that large nails or long metal rods could be driven into the ice. What would happen if theiceberg splits into several pieces during the pulling. Even if an iceberg with very few cracks were chosen, how could it be pulled through stormy waters. Furthermore, once the iceberg reached its destination, very few ports would be deep enough to store it.All of these problems must be solved before icebergs can become a reasonable source of water. Yet scientists estimate that it will be possible to transport them in the near future. Each year, enough icebergs form to supply the whole world with fresh water for a full year. In addition, icebergs are free and nonpolluting. As a solution to the world’s water problems, icebergs may be a workable possibility.4. What is a problem in transporting iceberg?A. The size of the iceberg.B. The colour of the iceberg.C. The salt in the iceberg.D. The movement of air and water.5. What is the author’ attitude towards transporting iceberg?A. Pessimistic.B. Objective.C. Optimistic.D. Unconcerned.6. What does the last paragraph mainly tell us?A. It is hard to use iceberg.B. Iceberg are a good choice.C. There are problems with iceberg.D. Man finds no other ways to solve water shortage.7. What can be a suitable title for the text?A. Shortage of water.B. Icebergs for water.C. Scientists and icebergs.D. Iceberg—scientists headache.CThe AI research arm of Alibaba created a machine learning model that received a higher score on the Stanford Question Answering Dataset than humans. The database consists of more than 100,000 questions to test reading comprehension.In early January this year the Alibaba AI software machine scored 82.44 on the test while humans scored 82.304. Besides, computers and AI have already defeated humans, for example in games such as chess. However, it seemed that language skills were superior in humans as machines find languages hard to master.A large number of call center employees, often in developing countries, may be out of work soon if the AI robots are cheaper and as effective as human labor. Soon when you phone a company for information theconversation will go like this: “ We are sorry but all our robots are busy right now. We value your call. Please stay on the line until a robot is free to serve you. There are just 12 callers ahead of you.” A robot will serve you some popular tunes while you wait.Si Luo, who is a chief scientist of natural language processing at Alibaba’s AI research group noted that questions such as “What causes rain?” can now be answered with a high degree of accuracy by robots. Si Luo said, “ We believe the foundational technology can be gradually applied to a lot of applications such as customer service, museum tutorials, and online responses to inquiries from patients, freeing human efforts in a new way.”Si Luo’s team is working closely with Ali Xiaomi, a mobile customer service chatbot. Ali Xiaomi can be customized to be used on Alibaba’s platforms such as Taobao and Tmall. The new AI robots could answer consumers’ questions as they did the Stanford questions. The robots would look for the answers from prepared information. However, there are limits to what the system will be able to do. If questions do not have clear-cut answers, or the questions asked are too unclear or ungrammatical, the robot may not be able to deal with them.8. What can we learn about the Alibaba AI software machine?A. It has been tested in some areas.B. It has become popular since January.C. It has offered a special learning style.D. It has made people interested in reading.9. What does the example in paragraph 3 show about the AI robots?A. They should have better language skills.B. They may replace humans in some fields.C. They need to be customized to serve customers.D. They will be widely used in developing countries.10. How does Si Luo feel about the foundational technology?A. Doubtful.B. Worried.C. Curious.D. Confident.11. What can we infer from the lastparagraph about Ali Xiaomi?A. It needs to improve in some ways.B. It is connected with another system.C. It is a platform to show good service.D. It can answer any questions accordingly.DMany cars in advertisements and on exhibition in the United States are red, blue or green, but almost 75 percent of new cars sold in the United States are black, white, silver orgray.Les Jackson is a reporter who writes about cars. He says the color1 s of cars Americans choose do not show dirt. He says that means the owners wash their cars less in order to save money. And he notes some areas that aresuffering from water shortages do not permit people to wash their cars often.Dan Benton works for a company called Axalta, which makes supplies for international car makers. He says white cars are often sold more expensive than cars of other color1 s. And he notes that white cars “absorb(吸收)less energy” than cars of other color1 s. This means temperatures inside them are lower in warmer areas. Benton also says research at Monash University in Australia suggests that there is a lower risk of crashes during the day for white cars compared with darker ones.Car buyers in other countries also like white. Jane Harrington works for PPG Industries, a company that makes paint for cars. She said in China, buyers say white makes a small car look bigger.About 11 percent of cars sold in North America are red and 8 percent are blue. Green has become less popular. Benton notes that in the mid-1990s green was the most popular color1 in North America. Today, green is hard to find.Sometime in the future, people may not have to choose the color1 of their cars —— technology may let owners change their cars’ paint color1 anytime.12. What can we learn from Paragraph 2?A. Most Americans don’t like red cars.B. People in America are not allowed to wash their cars.C. Many people prefer to choose white cars in America.D. Americans may consider the cost of cleaning when choosing cars.13. Why do many people choose white cars?A. They are much cheaper than cars of other color1 s..B. They are much safer while crashing.C. They are bigger than cars of other color1 s.D. They are more comfortable inside in warmer areas.14. What do we know from the text?A. Les Jackson is a member of Axalta.B. Most Americans rarely wash their cars.C. PPG Industries mainly produces cars in China.D. Green cars were once popular in North America.15. What does the text mainly tell us?A. Choices of car color1 sB. How to buy a good car.C. Differences of car color1 s.D. Popular car color1 s in history.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

They are expensive but of practical use.D. They are being used by people.BAvi Loeb, a scientist, believes that we are not alone in the universe. The belief fits withLoeb's alien spaceship theory that at least one alien spaceship might be flying over the orbit of Jupiter, which won the international attention last year.Astronomers inHawaiifound the first known interstellar object in late 2017. It was a bit of light moving so fast past the sun that it could only have come from another star. Almost every astronomer on the planet was trying to figure out how the object, called “Oumuamua” got to our far-away part of the Milky way galaxy. “One possibility is that ‘Oumuamua’ is debris from an advanced technological equipment,” Loeb said. “Technology comes from another solar system just showed up at our door. ”“‘Oumuamua’ is not an alien spaceship,” Paul Sutter, another scientist wrote. He suggested Loeb was seeking publicity. Most scientists think “Oumuamua” is some sort of rock. They think it could be an icy wandering comet.Loeb says that “Oumuamua's” behavior means it can't be a block of rock shaped like a long photo. He thinks it's more likely an object that's very long and thin, perhaps like a long pancake or a ship's sail. Loeb says that if someone shows him evidence thatcontradictshis beliefs, he will immediately give in.Loeb believes himself a truth-teller and risk-taker in an age of very safe, too-quiet scientists. “The worst thing that can happen to me is that I would be relieved of my management duties, and that would give me even more time to focus on science,” Loeb says. He said he wouldn't mind giving up all the titles he had and returning to the Israeli farming village where he grew up.4. What does Loeb say about “Oumuamua”?A. It is an icy comet.B. It looks like a long photo.C. It is actually some sort of rock.D. It may come from another alien civilization.5. What does the underlined word “contradicts” in paragraph 4 probably mean?A.Goes against.B. Relies on.C. Turns to.D. Searches for.6. What do you think of Loeb?A. He is foolish.B. He is unsatisfied with his titles.C. He is a firm believer in scientific truth.D. He is uncertain about his career future.7. What's the best title for the text?A. Have Aliens Paid a Visit in Spaceships?B. Do We Really Know about Space Theory?C. Scientists Are Working on High TechnologyD. Astronomers Are Encouraging Space TravelCWhy do you check social media? Is it to keep up with everything that your friends and family are doing? Is it to find new trendy spots to eat?Regardless of the reason, you may find yourself with different degrees of envy or discomfort after a quick look at your phone. Then you might be suffering from a phenomenon known as “Fear of Missing Out (FOMO). ”While the phenomenon of FOMO can be traced back for centuries, it had never been the issue as it is today, causing widespread discussion and research. This rise in checking social media is naturally connected to the increasing leading position that social media holds over our lives. Every time someone opens their WeChat Moments, Facebook, Twitter... etc. , they are bombarded with the highlight reels of other peoples' lives. A sunny beach, delicious-looking food, a super cute kitten-they are all uplifting photos, yet they're very likely to bring about more unhappiness than joy. You see, the first thought to come out of your mind may be “Wow, that's so cool/delicious/cute”, but then it takes a hard U-turn. You're thinking: “I wish I were there” or “my life is so boring compared to his/hers.” The more you see, the more likely you are to have these negative feelings.What's worse is the habit many people have of turning to social media in search of happiness when they are feeling down, not realizing that they are just going to end up in a negative cycle of endless disappointment. Montesquieu once said: “If one only wished to be happy, this could be easily accomplished; but we wish to be happier than other people, and this is always difficult, for we believe others to be happier than they are.”FOMO will go hand in hand with dissatisfaction and envy.

For example, people from southernChinaprefer to eat vegetables, while people from northChinalike to eat meat. According to a new study in a journal, gene variations (变异) might be responsible for these differences. Researchers fromChina’s BGI collected genetic information from 141,431 Chinese women, who came from 31 provinces and consisted of 36 ethnic minority groups.They found that natural selection has played an important role in the ways that people living in different regions of China have developed, affecting their food preferences, immunities (免疫力) to illness and physical features.A variation of the gene FADS2 is more commonly found in northern people. It helps people metabolize (新陈代谢) fatty acids, which suggests a diet that is rich in flesh. This is due to climate differences.Northern Chinais at a higher latitude. This weather is difficult to grow vegetables in. Therefore, northerners tend to eat more meat.The study also found differences in the immune systems of both groups. Most people in southernChinacarry the gene CR1, which protects against malaria. Malaria was once quite common in southernChina. In order to survive, the genes of people in the south evolved to fight against this disease. However, people in the south are also more sensitive to certain illnesses, as they lack the genes to stop them.Genes can also cause physical differences between northerners and southerners. Most northerners have the ABCC11 gene, which causes dry earwax, less body smell and fewer sweats. These physical differences are also more beneficial to living in cold environments. Southerners are less likely to have this gene, as it did not develop in their population.12. What did the new study focus on?A. Regions.B. Eating habits.C. Gene variations.D. Ethnic minority groups.13. What is the main function of the gene FADS2?A. It helps store fat.B. It helps digest meat.C. It helps gain weight.D. It helps treat an illness.14. According to the study, most northerners ________.A. sweat less frequentlyB. are immune to malariaC. prefer vegetables to meatD. are more sensitive to climates15. How many differences did the study find related to genes?A. Two.B. Three.C. Four.D. Five.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

ADear17-year-old self,When your Laker dream comes true tomorrow,you need to figure out a way to invest the future of your family.This sounds simple,and you may think it's a no-brainer,but take some time to think on it further.I said INVEST,I did not say GIVE.Let me explain.Purely giving material things to your siblings(兄弟姐妹）may appear to be the right decision.So you buy them a car,a big house,and pay all of their bills.You want them to live a beautiful,comfortable life, right?But the day will come when you realize that as much as you believed you were doing the right thing, you were actually holding them back.You will come to understand that you were taking care of them because it made YOU feel good,it made You happy to see them smiling and without a care in the world-and that was extremely selfish of you.While you were feeling satisfied with yourself,you were slowly eating away at their own dreams and ambitions. You were adding material things to their lives,but subtracting the most precious gifts of all.Invest in their future,don't just give.Use your success,wealth and influence to put them in the best position to realize their own dreams and find their true purpose.Put them through school,set them up with job interviews and help them become leaders in their own right.Hold them to the same level of hard work and dedication that it took for you to get to where you are now,and where you will eventually go.I'm writing you now so that you can begin this process immediately,and so that you don't have to deal with the hurt and struggle of weaning(断绝)them off the addiction that you facilitated.That addiction only leads to anger,hatred and jealousy from everybody involved,including yourself.As time goes on,you will see them grow independently and have their own ambitions and their own lives,and your relationship with all of them will be much better as a result.Trust me,setting things up right from the beginning will avoid a ton of tears and headache,some of which remains to this day.Much love,Kobe21.What might be the best title of this letter?A.To My Younger SelfB.For My Dear FamilyC.To My Beloved SonD.For My Older Self22.What may be"the most precious gifts of all"in Paragraph5?A Independence and growthB Wealth and healthC.Love and dedication D Success and leadership.23.What can we infer from this letter?A.The writer will stop offering his siblings help in the future.B.The writer didn’t think it a good fortune to become successful early.C.The writer intends to remind others not to care too much about materials.D.The writer was once troubled by the relationship between him and his family.BEvery day around the world,thousands of people with little or no scholarly training in art history walk into museums.They may or may not read notice boards that share relevant information of the artworks or artists.Imagine,before being permitted to direct their eyeballs to the art on the walls,museum visitors were required to read a15-or20-page introduction to each piece or each artist.How many people would go to museums if that were the case?Yet this seems to be the expectation when it comes to reading classic literature.Classic novels typically come with15-or20-page introductions,which often include spoilers assuming that readers do not come to classic books to discover,be absorbed in,and be surprised by the story world.Also,apparently,we mustn’t read classics alone,without experts guiding our experiences.However,classic literature is in a unique position to show us that were not alone in our pains and joys. By taking us out of our time,classic books free us to see beyond the set of beliefs we stick to and to connect human experiences that remain alive across time and place.What could be more grounding,more comforting,than seeing ourselves in the battles,longings,and pleasures that have played out across hundreds,thousands of years of human history?Our personal engagement is the first step of a longerjourney of discovery that deepens our knowledge and understanding of ourselves and our world.We may, for example,feel for Hester Prynne from Nathaniel Hawthorne's The Scarlet Letter though we despair of the world she lived inWhile we’re letting go of things,let’s stop worrying about understanding everything.We can’t.It will be fun if we embrace curiosity,the pleasure of working out a mystery,and our common relationships as humans.We can feel,for example,the power of self-sacrifice in Charles Dickens’A Tale of Two Cities even when we lack full understanding of the cultural references and language.24.Most museum goers__________.A.enjoy reading notice boardsB.understand the artworks weck professional art knowledgeD.share common interest in artworks25.What can the"spoilers"in Paragraph2possibly be?A.Story writers.B.Readers'expectations.C.Guiding experts.D.Plots given away in advance.26.What prevents readers enjoying reading classicsA.Showing curiosity about the writers.B.Letting go of things.C.Trying to understand everything.D.Working out mysteries.27.What message is mainly conveyed in the passage?A.We should find more fun from classics.B.Reading classics is a personal exploration.C.Experts need to give readers better guidance.D.Classic literature benefits readers a great dealCOnline programs to fight depression are already commercially available.While they sound efficient and cost-saving,a recent study reports that they're not effective,primarily because depressed patients are not likely to engage with them or stick with them.The study looked at computer-assisted cognitive(认知的）behavioral therapy(CBT)and found that it was no more effective in treating depression than the usual care patients receive from a primary care doctor.Traditional CBT is considered an effective form of talk therapy for depression,helping people challenge negative thoughts and change the way they think in order to change their mood and behaviors.However, online CBT programs have been gaining popularity,with the attraction of providing low-cost help wherever someone has access to a computer.A team of researchers from the University of York conducted a randomized(随机)control trial with691 depressed patients from83physician practices across England.The patients were split into three groups:one group received only usual care from a physician while the other two groups received usual care from a physician plus one of two computerized CBT programs.Participants were balanced across the three groups for age,sex,educational background,severity and duration of depression,and use of antidepressants(抗抑郁药).After four months,the patients using the computerized CBT programs had no improvement in depression levels over the patients who were only getting usual care from their doctors.“It's an important,warning note that we shouldn't get too carried away with the idea that a computer system can replace doctors and therapists,"says Christopher Dowrick,a professor of primary medical care at the University of Liverpool.“We do still need the human touch or the human interaction,particularly when people are depressed.”“Being depressed can mean feeling lost in your own small,negative,dark world,”Dowrick says. Having a person,instead of a computer,reach out to you is particularly important in fighting that sense of isolation.“When you're emotionally fragile,you're even more in need of a caring human being,”he says.28.What does the recent study say about online CBT programs?A.Patients may not be able to carry them through for effective cure.B.Patients cannot engage with them without the use of a computer.C.They can save patients trouble visiting physicians.D.They have been well received by a lot of patients.29.What has made online CBT programs increasingly popular?A.Their effectiveness in combating depression.B.The low efficiency of traditional talk therapy.C.Their easy and inexpensive access by patients.D.The recommendation by primary care doctors.30.What is Professor Dowrick's advice concerning online CBT programs?A.They should not be neglected in primary care.B.Their effectiveness should not be overestimated.C.They should be used by strictly following instructions.D.Their use should be encouraged by doctors and therapists.31.Which is more important to an emotionally vulnerable person?A.A positive state of mind.B.Appropriate medication.C.Timely encouragement.D.Human interaction.DClaude Monet,Pablo Picasso and Leonardo da Vinci…the art world has never lacked talent.And now,a new painter is ready to join the list,although this one isn’t even human.Next month,the auction house Christies Prints and Multiples will make history by offering the first piece of art created by artificial intelligence(AI)for sale.The painting is a portrait of a man called Edmond De Belamy,and is expected to be sold for up to$10,000.The work,which features a man with mysterious look on his face,was created by software developed by the French art group ugero-Lasserre,an art collector,called the work"grotesque and amazing at the same time.”This isn't the first example of AI-produced artwork,as AI has already been used to write poems and compose songs.However,many people doubt whether it should be called art at all.According to Russian writer Leo Tolstoy(1828-1910),art is about creating emotion(情感).It's"a means of…joining people together in the same feelings,”he once said.So,if the emotion behind art is what makes it,the ability to create and use tools is what makes human beings different from other species.And as a tool itself,the AI technology used to create the portrait is the result of a lot of effort made by several designers.Together,they"fed"the AI a huge collection of paintings from the14th to the18th centuries,until it was able to work out how to make similar paintings of its own The introduction of Al art could be the beginning of a new artistic movement.However,not everyone is ready to welcome these high-tech artists just yet.“The human mind is what's behind the AI technology.And the human mind is not a cold,hard fact,”said Oscar Schwartz,a professor of AI."Rather,it is something that's created with our opinions and something that changes over time.32.Why does the author mention the artists in Paragraph l?A.To introduce their works.B.To make an advertisementC.To present a piece of news.D.To focus the topic on Al.33.What does the underlined word"grotesque"in Paragraph3mean?A.Strange.B.SimpleC.Messy.D.Understandable34.What can we learn about the AI-produced artwork according to Paragraph5?A.It comes from human works.B.It shows the human ability to create.C.It expresses human feelings effectively.D.It is beyond the imagination of humans.35.Oscar Schwartz thinks the human mind is__________compared with AI?A.limitedB.decisiveelessD.Meaningful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人空白处的最佳选项。
