A 71 -year-old Frenchman—armed with a block of foie gras(鹤肝酱) and a bottle of Sautemes—has set off to sail the Atlantic in a barrel(木桶船).Jean-Jacques Savin barreled out of El Hierro in Spain’s Canary Islands on Wednesday and headed toward theCaribbean, some 3 000 nautical miles away, in a bright orange, barrel-shaped capsule that will use ocean currents alone to move him, the BBC reported. He hopes lo reach his destination in just three months, the reporter said.“The weather is great. I’ve got a swell of one meter (3 feet) and I’m moving at 2 - 3 kilometers an hour... I’ve got favorable winds forecast until Sunday,Savin told AFP shortly after he set off.His barrel is strong enough to survive attacks from killer whales and was built to withstand constant battering from the waves. It contains a bed,kitchen,storage areas and a window inthe floor that Savin can use to watch fish. It also has a solar panel that generates energy for communications and GPS positioning, and Savin will be dropping markers along his trip to help oceanographers study currents.The former military paratrooper(伞兵), park ranger and pilot has had some access to social media and his most recent update said the barrel was "behaving well" and the trip was off to a smooth start.His budget for the journey, ,$ 68 000, was raised largely through crowd funding. Savin hopes to reach Barbados but would prefer a French island like Martinique to make paperwork easier and fcifor bringing the barrel back".As for the foie gras an d Sauternes, Savin planned to save it for New Year’s Eve. He also saved a bottle of red wine for his 72nd birthday on Jan. 14.1.What would the old Frenchman do in three months?A.He would have a trip to the Atlantic.B.He would study currents for oceanographers.C.He would use ocean currents alone to move him.D.He would plan to save the red wine for his birthday.2.What can we infer about Saving barrel?A.Heavy and strong.B.Solid and perfect.C.Strong and small.D.Small and heavy.3.What did the old Frenchman do before?A.Park cleaner.B.Flyer.C.Captain.D.Swimmer.4.How did Savin get the money for his trip?A.By collecting.B.By stealing.C.By borrowing.D.By being offered.3.Martin Lewis issued an email scam (诈骗) warning to This Morning viewers to explain what to look out for and how to know if you're being scammed. He advised people to be careful of the wording of certain emails to tell if they are a scam, especially poor grammar or indistinct spelling in emails. He added that there is a four-word phrase you need to look out for to identify a scam email. If they start the email with “dear sir or madam",this often means it’s not from a legal company.He also provided a number of other general rules to spot scams.“Never give personal details if they call, text or email. The classic scam is cheats sending messages or emails asking for your details to break into your accounts, claiming to be from a bank, insurer, tax bureau, the police, or even me."Don't fall for false deals on any social media. I constantly hear of many cheating offers popping up in people’s feeds and messages,for example,Disneylandand airlines giving away free tickets online. The key here is to know the source. Is the person giving you the information trustworthy, and is the source trustworthy, too? Go to where you know it'slegal and check it. In other words, even if it looks legal, never just click without separately checking.“And of course as you may have heard me say before ‘ I DON’T DO ADS ’ 一my face has been blacked all over the Internet, over 1,000 ads on Facebook alone wrongly claimingI’m guaranteeing online trading, companies and more. All these ads are spurious—don't be fooled. And please pass on the message to anyone who you think may be fooled by these ads."1.What do we know about email scammers?A.Most of them work in legal companies.B.They are very polite to everyone.C.They are experts in information technology.D.They may pretend to be from government departments.2.What does Martin Lewis suggest people do about online offers?A.Turn down the offers immediately.B.Stop doing deals on any social media.C.Make sure where the offers come from.D.Accept the offers before checking them.3.Which of the following best explains “spurious” underlined in the last paragr aph?A.Nonofficial.B.False.C.Universal.D.Unnecessary.4.What’s Martin’s purpose of his words in the last paragraph?A.To defend himself against wrong comments.B.To warn people of wrong ads.C.To beg for forgiveness from the public.D.To trade online with Facebook.4.While we’re often pressed by time during the week and forced to sacrifice sleep in exchange for productivity, many long for the weekend so they may regain quality time with their bed. Although people regularly claim they’re going to “catch up onsleep” during this 48-hour period, there has been doubt as to whether or not doing so was even possible.Psychologist Torbjorn Akerstedt and his colleagues published findings in the Journal of Sleep Research that focus on the impact of sleeping in on days off—the weekend, for most—and how some additional snooze(打盹) time might make up for lost sleep on weekdays. The study,which tracked more than 43,000 people over a period of 13 years, found that participants younger than 65 who slept for fewer than five hours per night on weekdays faced a 52 percent higher death rate, while those who slept for fewer than the recommended seven hours per night on weekdays but slept for an extra hour or two on week ends lived as long as individuals who slept seven hours each night in the entire week.According to the study summary, among individuals more than 65 years old, no association between weekend sleep or weekday sleep time and death rate was observed. In conclusion, short, but not long, weekend sleep was associated with an increased death rate in subjects less than 65 years old. In the same age group, short sleep on both weekdays and week ends showed increased death rate. Possibly, long weekend sleep may compensate for short weekday sleep. However, while the connection seems accurate, Akerstedt cautioned that this “experimental conclusion” will require further exploration. His peers agreed with this opinion, as well.For instance, Michael Grandner, director of the Sleep and Health Research Program atthe Universityof Arizona's College of Medicine, warned that sleeping in on a weekend islike eating a salad after a series of hamburger dinnershealthier, sure, but from one view the damage is done. Grandner also urged the overworked and underslept not to view sleep as time lost. Just as we require food and water, our bodies also require sleep to maintain overall health.Many people brush off sleep shortage by claiming they’ll sleep when they’re dead. But, if these findings are right, they might find themselves holding true to this promise much sooner than expected.1.What do many people do with sleep shortage according to paragraph 1?A.Sleep more on weekends.B.But down the working time.C.Call for more overtime pay.D.Improve the labor efficiency.2.Which of the following agrees with the research conclusion?A.Sleep is connected with death rate.B.Long sleep always benefits the health.C.Sleep time doesn’t affect the old people’s lifetime.D.Proper extra sleep on weekends is g?ood for people.3.What does Akerstedt think of his research result?A.It is accurate.B.It is cheerful.C.It is uncertain.D.It is useless.4.What can we infer from Michael Grandner's opinion?A.Sleeping in on a weekend is harmful.B.Salad should be eaten with hamburger.C.The hamburger dinner is a healthy diet.D.Sleep shortage can't be compensated completely.二、七选五5.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。

河南省2019届高三高考模拟英语试卷SYS201908020701一、阅读理解详细信息1. 难度:中等A Song of Ice and Fire is a seven﹣part series of fantasy written for adults. George R. R. Martin writes each chapter from the perspective of a specific character, providing a limited point of view for each section. The reader is able to understand the inner workings of the individual, but the reader is barred from a whole understanding of the text. The world he has created has magic, but there is much more than that. While magic exists, it exists on the edge, and the inner unrest of the characters is much more important.His work also has a level of realness that is astonishing in a work of fantasy. Characters are imperfect, and many make questionable moral choices. In the end, however, Martin shows that both good and bad happen to both the people of high moral standard and the corrupt. He has made it clear that any character can die at any point, which has led to a lot of heartbreak from readers.In 2011, A Song of Ice and Fire became a television series titled Game of Thrones. Martin has been closely involved with the production. It has currently run for seven seasons, and viewers anxiously await the eighth season to answer their questions from the season seven finale.His fans are also waiting for The Winds of Winter and A Dream of Spring, the next books in the series, to answer the questions Martin and the television show have not yet addressed. Martin,however, has no plans to rush. He has made it clear that he will continue to write the books while working on the television show and writing other novels.But how will the story continue? What is going to happen in Westeros, and more importantly: when are we going to find out?Martinis skill as a writer has kept readers and viewers spellbound. Many hope he will finish the next book before the next season of the show begins, but no one knows with Martin. He always keeps his readers guessing.1.One of the characteristics of A Song of Ice and Fire is .A. each chapter is written from a limited point of viewB. magic is the center of the storyC. Martin has made imperfect characters die at any pointD. many characters make astonishing choices2.What is George R. R. Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire considered to be?A. One of his masterworks of fantasy.B. An unsuccessful screen adaptation.C. An artistic creation for the TV.D. One of the best TV programmes.3.What does the word "address" in the fourth paragraph mean?A. writtenB. spokenC. solvedD. directed4.How will the ending of the story be?A. Interesting.B. Confusing.C. Novel.D. Unknown.SYS20190802070详细信息2. 难度:中等Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) is gaining globalpopularity. According to a government white paper, TCM has been introduced in 183 countries and regions around the world.Westerners' understanding of TCM, however, may be limited to acupuncture, cupping and massage(针灸,拔罐和按摩). For instance, the purple, injury﹣like marks left on U. S. swimmer Michael Phelps,back from cupping for the purpose of relaxing his muscles and reducing pain became the center of attention during the Rio Olympics in 2016.As a matter of fact, Chinese herbs play a more important role in getting rid of diseases and keeping the body in good condition in the TCM treatment system than physical treatment. It is therefore disheartening to know that while 103 World Health Organization member countries have given approval to the practice of acupuncture, not many recognize Chinese herbal medicine. TCM falls far behind Western medicine owing partly to the slow development of Chinese herbs.Herbs are made into pills, powder and soup, and the kind of herbs used, their quality and quantity, and the processing of the ingredients (原材料) jointly determine the effectiveness of the prescription. Compared with Western medicine, which has standardized drug production processes and treatment methods, TCM lacks standardization, with the chemical composition and functions of its medicines being unclear and their effects beingunstable. Fortunately, standardization has improved in recent decades, with an increasing number of factories producing patented TCM drugs.Another factor that has prevented the development of TCM prescription drugs is the lack of creativity. While Western medicine﹣making companies come up with new products every year, TCM drug producers tend to make medicines according to prescriptions handed down from the past. Chinese chemist Tu Youyou's winning the 2015Nobel Prize inPhysiology or Medicine for her research into malaria (疟疾)treatment may drive creativity to some extent in China's TCM industry. However, the current state of affairs cannot be changed within a short time.1.Why does the author mention the example of Michael Phelps?A. Because he was injured in his swimming.B. Because cupping is a kind of important TCM treatment.C. Because westerners know a little about TCM.D. Because westerners attach great importance to TCM.2.Why don't some member countries of WHO recognize Chinese herbal medicine?A. Because Chinese herbs can get rid of diseases.B. Because they only approve the practice of acupuncture.C. Because Western medicine is more effective.D. Because medicine made out of Chinese herbs develops slowly.pared with Western medicine, what is the weak point of TCM in Paragraph 4?A. The methods of planting herbs.B. The effectiveness of prescription.C. Lacking in standardization.D. Its stable functions.4.The lack of creativity in TCM refers to the fact that .A. medicine﹣making companies lack creativityB. prescriptions are got from the pastC. Western companies are more experiencedD. medicine﹣making companies lack driving forceSYS20190802070详细信息3. 难度:中等根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项.选项中有两项为多余选项.Why you shouldn't punish your kids for lyingGetting your children to stop lying is challenging. There are many influences (TV, movies, video games and some great books) in which lies are common. Children see parents lie to others, if only to be polite. Most parents add to that with tales about the lives and activities of Santa Claus or the Tooth Fairy, or to lessen fears. 1.The most common reactions to children who lie are explaining why it is wrong and punishment.2. Here are three better tools supported by research to use instead.PRAISE: You could ask your child to say something that happened at school that is true. When your child obeys, praise himenthusiastically. Be specific:3. and give your child a hug or a high five. Aim for one or two interactions (互动) like this a day. If you happen to "catch" your child in a lie, say something like, "That is not true and could get you in trouble outside of the home."MODEL: Explicitly tell the truth. This could be about somethingthat happened when you were a child or something that happened during the day. It need not be dramatic. Another option is to play a game at dinner. Each person tells one thing that was true thatday. Again, give a little praise to the child who normally lies if she plays along.DECREASE PUNISHMENT AND MORALIZING: They are unlikely to change behavior or develop the conduct you want.4. Rather, use very mild punishment (light scolding, short loss of privilege, a brief time ﹣out). More severe punishments (shouting, taking away something for a week, hitting) are not more effective in actually changing the frequency of lying.5. Usually they can be dropped by then. It is unlikely that lying will be completely removed, but with the right encouragement, k can be dramatically lessened.A. It is not what that is, but about practice.B. As ways of changing behavior, these are ineffective.C. That does not mean ignoring, lying or letting t go.D. "That was great! You told me what happened just like Iasked. Wow!"E. Try these procedures for two to three weeks and see where you are.F. "You did a good job, but what you said was not what I'd like to know!"G. Parents do this out of love, but for some children, lying can become a problem.SYS20190802070详细信息4. 难度:中等How can I forget the day?

But now it is up for sale.Pat became the post hostess in 1985 when she was 27. The name of the shop has changed every time it has passed through the various generations because a daughter has always taken it over in her married name. It is up for sale because neither of her children wants to take it on. It has been an idyllic(平和美丽的) existence at the heart of the community but it isalso hard to run it. Her husband, Rod,gets up at 5: 30 am and doesn't finish until7 pm. They have only just had their first week's holiday since their honeymoon in 1982. Their children have jobs with paid holiday. They had a lovely relaxing time walking in Yorkshire to celebrate Pat's 60th birthday last month and decided that the time has comefor a bit more freedom.The post office has been in the family since 1918 when Pat's great-grandfather Walter, a farmer, lost his arm in an accident. A government officer asked if he would like to open a post office and shop in the village bakery, as it was vacant then, and he said yes. When Pat was growing up there, the biggest indoor sawmill (锯木厂) in the country was across the road and it was very busy. People would come to do their weekly shopping in those years before supermarkets appeared.After Pat s parents retired, they lived in a house behind the post office and set up a business baking cakes.

Entering the Anderson Center in Minnesota in the US, it's common to hear music, since the building has long served as a place for artists to meet.But recently, sounds ringing through the building began to sound unlike others. The music was from the center's art gallery, where Jarrelle Barton practices his guzheng.Although the ancient Chinese instrument is popular worldwide, guzheng players are rare in Minnesota, and Barton is the first one to participate in Anderson's residency program. "He was chosen because of his technical capabilities, as well as his potential"? said Stephanie Rogers, the center's director.Most kids of Barton's age are more likely to take up the piano or guitar. But as his grandmother described him. Barton is a special person" —a little quiet, but with very deep feelings.When he first saw a picture of a guzheng, he tried to make his own out of a wooden tea tray and guitar strings. But the instrument he made was very different from a guzheng. It was light, and it didn't sound great.Barton begged(乞求) his grandmother to buy him a guzheng. She agreed, but added that he had toreally practice and become a good guzheng playter.Acquiring the instrument proved less complicated than learning to play it. Barton'couldn’t find any textbooks in English, and the online courses he found were in Chinese too. So, he started teaching himself Mandarin (普通话).At the same time, lie accustomed his body to "feeling" guzheng music.Barton recently uploadcd his videos to the social media platform Sina Weibo. They soon went viral, with viewers making comments such as “Great,” or “This foreigner can play our music.”Music goes beyond nationalily. Anyone ran learn an instrument regardless of what language you speak. You can learn any instrument you'd like and create music to share with people.1.Why was Barton chosen into the program?A.His grandmother insisted.B.He was the first to play guzheng.C.His skills and talent were impressive.D.He was one of the few who could play guzheng.2.How did Barton feel when he first saw a picture of a guzheng?A.Puzzled.B.Excited.C.Disappointed.D.Anxious.3.What does the underlined sentence in the last paragraph probably mean?A.Music is the best way to communicate.B.Music can be spread far and wide.C.Music is a universal language.D.Music can go further.4.What is the purpose of the text?A.To promote a music program.B.To advertise the Anderson Center.C.To persuade foreigners to play guzheng.D.To introduce the great power of music.4.All the linguists(语言学家) agree that by the end of this century the number of languages in use will be much smaller than it is now. Some experts think that in 100 years' time 90% of the world's languages will be gone—only about 700 tongues left.Minority languages disappear for many reasons. It could be partly because their speakers are beset by droughts, floods, earthquakes or imported epidemics(流行疾病) and become less and less. However, most languages disappear because their speakers voluntarily abandon them. Where a chief language is associated with progress and economic success, speakers of minority languages come under pressure to learn it in order to get on. The most obvious example in the modern world is English. According to Global Reach, a communications consultancy, English accounts for two-thirds of all web content.A small number of chief languages already rule the globe. Of the world's 7 billion people, nearly a sixth speak Mandarin Chinese as a first language. If you add the rest of the top 11 English, Hindi, Spanish, Arabic and so on—plus people who speak one of these as a second language, your list already covers well over half of mankind.As the big languages advance, the minority ones shrink. They come to be seen as backward and embarrassing. As children stop learning them and fewer people speak them, they become ever less useful. In the end, the last speakers die, taking their languages to the grave with them. If speakers of minority languages really wanted to stick to them, they would make hard efforts to keep them alive. If they do not, it means they no longer have a use for them. So some linguists think: trying to save dying languages is pointless.Endangered languages were perfectly suited totheir speakers' way of life until their habitat changed through the influence of other humans. There is a close parallel with man’s encroachment (侵蚀)on the natural environment, but the environmentalists have made faster progress. Greenery has become mainstream, and preserving some rare butterfly, wild-flower or ecosystem is considered a worthy goal. In the same way, languages should bepreserved to safeguard diversity.

in other parts of the world.I would say to myself,"When I grow up,when I can get rich,I will save kids all over the world."At 17,I started my career here in America,and by the age of 18,I started my first charity organization.I went on to team up with other organizations in the following years,and met,helped,and even lost some of the most beautiful souls,tern six﹣year﹣old Jasmina Anema who passed away in 2010 from leukemia (白血病),whose story inspired thousands to volunteer as donors,to 2012 when grandmother lost her battle with cancer,which is the very reason and the driving force behind the Clara Lionel Foundation (CLF).We're all human.And we all just want a chance:a chance at life,a chance in education,a chance at a future,really.And at CLF,our mission is to impact as many lives as possible,but it starts with just one.People make it seem too hard to do charity work.The truth is,you don't have to be richto help others.You don't need to be famous.You don't even have to be college﹣educated.But it starts with your neighbor,the person right next to you,the person sitting next to you in class,the kid down the block in your neighborhood.You just do whatever you can to help in any way that you can.And today,I want to challenge each of you to make a commitment to help one person,one organization,one situation that touches your heart.My grandmother always used to say,"If you've got a dollar,there's plenty to share."(1)What did the author want to do at a young age?A.Watch TV.B.Grow up quickly.C.Become wealthy.D.Help other children.(2)What directly caused the author to

more than that.As Mariette Dichristina of Scientific American wrote:"The most intimate (亲密的)relationship we will ever have is not with any fellow humanbeing.Instead,it is between our bodies and our food."Nowadays,for most people in the worlds wealthiest countries,food is a hobby,an enthusiasm,and even something fashionable.Turn on the TV in the US,UK or France,and you'll find at least one channel feeding this popular obsession.And most of us know at least one person who thinks of themselves as a "foodie".It's almost impossible nowadays to check our social media apps without at least two or three photos of delicious meals appearing on our screen.But behind the fancy recipes and social media bragging (夸耀),many of us forget how much we take food for granted.This is why World Food Day is held each year.Take Kenya for example.This east African nation has been suffering terrible droughts.The result is that people are beginning to starve.Children in particular are suffering,with some of them even dying.This may seem shocking to know,especially as many cultures outside of Africa think of food in a completely different way.But even in the UK,families on low incomes are forced to use food banks﹣European organizations that hand out donated food to those who can't afford to pay for it themselves.So what can we do on World Food Day?One good way to spend it would be to feel humble and appreciate what we have.After all,food is essential for survival,but not everyone is as lucky as we are when it comes to dinner time.(1)According to Mariette Dichristina,what has the closest relationship with us?A.Air.B.Water.C.Food.D.Human beings.(2)What does the underlined word "foodie" in Paragraph 4 probably mean?A.Delicious food.B.A person fond of food.C.A social media app.D.A photo of delicious meals.(3)Who can get help from food banks?A.Poor people in the UK.B.Poor people in Africa.G.Starving children in Kenya.D.People in the drought﹣stricken.(4)What's the best title for the text?A.Treat Food as a HobbyB.Time to Appreciate FoodC.Food Shortage in Some CountriesD.How to Spend World Food Day14.(8分)Traditionally,robots have been hard,made of metal and other rigid material:Buta team of scientists at Harvard University in the US has managed to build an entirely soft robot﹣one that draws inspiration from an octopus (章鱼).Described in science journal Nature,the "Octobot" could pave the way for more effective autonomous robots that could be used in search,rescue and exploration."The Octobot is minimal system which may serve as a foundation for a new generation of completely soft,autonomous robots" the study's authors wrote.Robots built for precise,repetitive movements in a controlled environment don't do so well on rough terrains (地形)or in unpredictable conditions.And they aren't especially safe around humans,because they're made out of hard and heavy parts that could be potentially dangerous to their users.So researchers have been working on building soft robots for decades.They're taken inspiration from nature,looking to animals from jellyfish to cockroaches,which are often made up of more flexible matter.But creating a completely soft robot remains a challenge.Even if engineers build a silicone (硅酮)body,it's still a grand challenge to construct flexible versions of essential parts,such as a source of power."Although soft robotics is still in its early stage,it holds great promise for several applications,such as search﹣rescue operations and exploration," Barbara Mazzolai andVirgilio Mattoli of the Italian Institute of Technology' Center for Micro﹣BioRobotics,wrote in a comment."Soft robots might also open up new approaches to improving wellness and quality of life."(1)What's the special feature of "Octobot"?A.It's soft.B.It's made of metal.C.It's very small.D.It looks like an octopus.(2)What's the disadvantage of traditional robots?A.They're hard to control.B.They're too heavy to move.C.They can't predict conditions.D.They can't behave well all the time.(3)One of the biggest challenges is to build Octobot's.A.silicone bodyB.complex componentsC.precise movementsD.flexible power source(4)What's the possible application of "Octobot"?A.Medical research.B.Life rescue.C.Machine operation.D.House cleaning.第二节(满分10分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项.选项中有两项为多余选项.15.(10分)Why Stand in Line on Black Friday?Standing in line is a pain.At the post office.At the box office.At a restaurant.(1)The first spot outside some Best Buy stores is usually claimed (认领)weeks in advance,often by a person in a tent.Shoppers at Walmart will print out maps of the store,with circles around their primary targets.(2)."These queues are quite different than the usual annoying ones we come across day to day at the ATM or in the subway," said Richard Larson,a professor at MIT who has spent years studying line behavior."Once a year," he said,"the lines are exciting.They're the kind you might tell your grandchildren about." (3)Billie LeClere,45,was first in line on Thursday at Walmart in Manchester,Iowa.She said she was a regular Black Friday shopper.But this year,she came with a specific purpose:to get a good deal on a new TV.She and her husband had recently separated,and he had taken the old TV earlier that day."The marriage died,not the TV," she said.(4)"It's going to be nice to have something that's newer﹣and it's mine,not his."(5)The following are two of the typical results.The "gotta have it"atmosphere makes people more anxious.Sometimes the behaviour of the queue turns violent.Therefore,lines test patience,personal space especially on Black Friday,when the crowds can be overwhelming (势不可挡的).A.Shoppers are excited to buy gifts.B.But on Black Friday,it's an experience.C.Moreover,the crowds are queuing for good deals.D.Many families are queuing to chat with each other.E.The experience gave her a sense of accomplishment.F.They are trying to turn the experience into an adventure.G.The behaviour of people in lines has inspired decades of research.第三部分语言知识运用(共两节)第一节完形填空(每小题1.5分,满分30分)阅读下面短文,从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中,选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项.16.(30分)The day I received my letter of acceptance to New

bragging (夸耀),many of us forget how much we take food for granted.This is why World Food Day is held each year.Take Kenya for example.This east African nation has been suffering terrible droughts.The result is that people are beginning to starve.Children in particular are suffering,with some of them even dying.This may seem shocking to know,especially as many cultures outside of Africa think of food in a completely different way.But even in the UK,families on low incomes are forced to use food banks﹣European organizations that hand out donated food to those who can't afford to pay for it themselves.So what can we do on World Food Day?One good way to spend it would be to feelhumble and appreciate what we have.After all,food is essential for survival,but not everyone is as lucky as we are when it comes to dinner time.(1)According to Mariette Dichristina,what has the closest relationship with us?C A.Air.B.Water.C.Food.D.Human beings.(2)What does the underlined word "foodie" in

Africa.G.Starving children in Kenya.D.People in the drought﹣stricken.(4)What's the best title for the text?BA.Treat Food as a HobbyB.Time to Appreciate FoodC.Food Shortage in Some CountriesD.How to

From July, you can sleep over in the new riverside Middle-Ages-themedwoodland cottages of Knight’s Village.From £ 31 ( under-3s free).Chessington World of Adventures, SurreyFollowing the Pandamonium live show in 2016, last year saw The Gruffalo River Ride Adventure open at Chessington, which has over 40 rides and attractions. Kides includeDragon Falls, Safari Skyway, Toadies Crazy Cars and Runaway Train.From £ 29(under-3s free).1.Where are animal-loving children probably advised to go?A.Warwick Castle.B.Thorpe Park.C.Drayton Manor Theme Park.D.Chessington World of Adventures.2.How much should a couple with their two-year-old son pay at least in Thorpe Park?A.£ 56.B.£ 52.C.£ 40.D.£ 30.3.What do the parks have in common?A.Children should be accompanied by adults.B.They have all been rebuilt before reopening.C.They all offer exciting rides in the parks.D.Certain kids have free entry to the parks.2.Thanks to the school cut-off date, eight days would have made a difference to my daughter being among the youngest in her year group at school or being among the older kids.If she had come eight days later, I wouldn't have had to think about sending her to school early or waiting a year. No such luck, however—my daughter arrived on schedule.Some parents said that sending a child to school early was the right decision because delaying another year would have meant a bored child. Other parents said that theirchildren had struggled being the youngest in the class. But then there were the friends at university who were younger than the rest of us, but always seemed to do well in class.With a spinning head, I turned to the experts. At kindergarten, my daughter was given a school readiness test by a maternal and child health nurse. She was asked to complete aseries of tasks to determine her academic performance, language development,and physical development. My daughter aced(考得很好) the test.The results were clear-cut, and for a moment I thought I’d found my answer to whether my daughter should go to school the next year or not. And then came the follovv-up call from the maternal and child health nurse. Even though the test found my daughter was ready for school, tlie nurse suggested that I consider keeping my daughter at home for another year. The nurse had observed my daughter performing the test and noted that she made it quite clear that she'd rather he playing outside instead of sitting down doing a lest. Being academically ready is not the same as being emotionally ready.After all that, I decided that my daughter would be starting school the next year. The reasons for delaying turned out to have nothing to do with school readiness, but rather about life in general. We spend a long time being adults. So, giving my daughter one more year of childhood is a precious gift.1.What do we know about the daughter?A.She feels bored about school.B.She has difficulty in learning.C.She is at an embarrassing age.D.She wants to wait a year to school.2.Why does the author turn to the experts?A.She has a headache.B.She has to make a decision.C.Her daughter does well in the test.D.Her younger friends are experts.3.What did the author figure out by the test in Paragraph 5?A.She misunderstood the nurse.B.She had better often play with her daughter.C.Her daughter was ready for school.D.Her daughter would rather stay at home.4.What can be the best title for the text?A.A Wise MotherB.A Life GiftC.Emotionally ReadyD.To Go or Not?3. Air pollution shortens human lives by more than a year, according to a new study from a team of leading environmental engineers and public health researchers. Better air quality could lead to a significant extension of lifespan(寿命) around the world.This is the first time that data on air pollution and lifespan has been studied together in order to check how air pollution affects overall life expectancy.The researchers looked at outdoor air pollution from particulate matter (PM)(颗粒物) smaller than 2. 5 microns. These particulates can enter deep into the lungs, and breathing PM 2. 5 is associated with the increased risk of heart attacks, strokes and cancer. PM 2. 5 pollution comes from power plants, cars and trucks, fires, agriculture and industrial emissions (排放).Led by Joshua Apte, the team used data from the Global Barden of Osease Study to measure PM 2. 5 air pollution exposure and its consequences in 185 countries. 1'hey thenquantified the national impact on life expectancy for each individual country as well as on a global scale.“The fact that air pollution is a major global killer is already well-k nown,” said Apte, “And we all care about how long we can live. Here, we were able to systematically identify how air pollution shortens lives around the world. What we found is that air pollution has a very large effect on survival—on average about a year globally.In the context of other significant phenomena negatively affecting human survival rates, Apte said this is a big number. “For example, it’s considerably larger than the benefit in survival we might see if we found cures for both lung and breast cancer combined,” he said. “In countries like India andChina, the benefit for elderly people of improving air quality would be especially large. For much of Asia, if air pollution were removed as a risk for death, 60-year-olds would have a 15 percent to 20 percent higher chance of living to age 85 or older.”1.What do we know about PM2. 5?A.It has a bad effect on human health.B.It will be controlled in the future.C.It mainly comes from industrial emissions.D.It spreads to the world from Asian countries.2.What did the researchers do to study how air pollution affects lifespan?A.They collected accurate information from all the Asian countries.B.They employed the research data to calculate the effect.C.They studied the disease and lifespan together time and time again.D.They measured particulate matter much more carefully than before.3.What can be inferred from the text?A.The key to people living longer is good air quality.B.People think air pollution is the most dangerous killer to them.C.Apte will agree that people should take action to deal with air pollution.D.Factories should decrease the production of cars to stop air pollution.4.What is the best title for the text?A.The way human beings enjoy a longer lifespanB.The importance of getting rid of air pollutionn people are suffering from serious air pollutionD.Air pollution reduces lifespan by more thanone year4. If you have wondered whether meditation (冥想) can help you cope with tough times in your life, look no further than the 12 Thai boys who survived their two-week trap with their soccer coach in a flooded cave.According to news reports, the boys’ coach, 25-year-old Ekapol Chanthawong, used guided meditations to help these boys stay calm through moments when extreme anxiety could have cost them their lives.For all its benefits, meditation is not a complicated practice. It's not associated with a particular religion but simply involve sitting quietly and breathing deeply and evenly. You can imagine a peaceful place, or do a “body scan” to check in with each part of your body and release any tension you discover there.Scientific research supports the idea that meditation can affect mental functions, including calming anxiety and reducing the perception (感知) of physical pain. Leah Weiss, a meditation professor at Stanford University, told CNBC that meditation works by calming a number of physical and mental responses, including slowing the heart rate, decreasinglevels of “stress hormones”,and regulating how the bod y uses oxygen and releases carbon dioxide.Perhaps most importantly for the teens, Weiss said, meditation allows for clear thinking as it calms the “fight-or-flight’,reaction that can cause panic at times of heightened stress.A solid body of scientific research backs up the claim that meditation benefits both physical and emotional health. One 2012 study found that meditators were less bothered by frightening sounds than people who were not meditating. A 2016 study found that meditators experience painful stimuli(刺激) lessintense. Other studies found meditation s impact on focus and attention, body awareness and social con nection.These show meditation helps people survive in an acute situation like the one faced by the That soccer team. As we continue marveling at the bravery and intelligence of the team, let us also reflect on which is a wonder.1.What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about?A.The way of meditation.B.The research of meditation.C.The outcome of meditation.D.The right place for meditation.2.What does the author intend to do in paragraph 4?A.Summarize the previous paragraphs.B.Provide some advice for the readers.C.Add more background information.D.Introduce a new topic for discussion.3.Why does the author mention several studies in the text?A.To teach the skills of meditation.B.To show the effect of meditation.C.To show researchers' habits of meditation.D.To stress the need of studying meditation.4.Which can replace the underlined phrase "marveling at" in the last paragraph?A.doubtingB.developingC.exploringD.admiring二、七选五5.根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项选项中有两项为多余选项。

And on Aug. 21, the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources( DWR )shared a video of them doing just that. In the video, the small fish erupt from the bottom of an airplane into the water.It might seem like the fall from the plane would result in a fatal(致命的)end for the fish, but the Utah DWR explained that at least 95 percent of the fish are expected to survive, "That s because the young fish are so small﹣only 1 to 3 inches( tocentimeters )long﹣that they fall to the water like leaves, "said Phil Tuttle the outreach manager for the southern region office of the Utah DWR.The pilot lies just above the tree line to drop the fish, or as low as possible whileconsidering other natural barriers like cliffs and mountains, "Tuttle old Live Science in an email. Years of netting surveys(collecting fish in a net and counting them and decades of recreational fishing suggest the fish do all right after the drop. Utah DWR staff members have also conducted netting surveys within minutes of a drop to check survival rates. More than 200 of Utah's remote mountain lakes are stocked every year using this aerial (航空)fish﹣drop method. The lakes are often far from any road and can take a long time to reach by land, which makes land transports more stressful for the fish compared with aerial transportsMost of the stocked lakes would be fishless, were it not for the DWR 's stockingefforts. The DWR primarily stocks lakes with sterile fish so they can control the population and minimize(减至最小)their impact on native wildlife species. The most common species to make these lights are various species of trout(鲑鱼).(1)What is the possible reason for the high survival rate of the fish?A. Their thick skinB, Their small sizeC. Their strong body.D. Their good appetite(2)How can Utah DWR get to know the survival rates of the fish?A. By doing netting surveysB. By counting natural barriersC. By recording the drop heightD. By holding fishing(3)Why do Wildlife officials in Utah drop fish from airplanes?A It's the cheapest way availableB. The lakes are unreachable by landC. It's better for the fish than land transportsD. They want to train the fish in a special way(4)What does the underlined word "sterile "in the last paragraph probably mean?A. Fierce and aggressiveB. Unable to produce babiesC. Completely free from bacteriaD. Energetic and good at jumping14.(8分)Remember those slow snails you often see on the ground after a rainy day Well,these animals have made headlines recently with an astonishing discovery by UCLAresearchers who were able to transfer(转移) memories from one snail to another!They experimented with sea snails because they have impressive memory habits and large neurons(神经元)which make them easier to work with. Dr. David Glanzman, who led the experiment, believes that RNA located in our brain cells is responsible for long﹣term memory. This went against the well﹣established belief that long term memory was stored in the brain's neuron synapses(突触).For the experiment, scientists trained certain snails to develop a defensive reaction by contracting(收缩)whenever they were pushed. Originally, the action would last for a few seconds, but by consistently shocking the snails, their contracting period grew to lasta lot longer, up to 50 seconds. Then, they took RNA from brain cells of the trained snailsand put them in untrained cells. When these new cells were put back into the untrained snails, these sea snails started exhibiting immediate behaviors that were as if they had been trained to develop long defensive reactions !This was shocking as these memories were extremely specific. This showed that RNA transfer might influence our memory by finishing a memory transfer. David Glanzman believes once we get a deeper insight on how memory functions, it can help us better understand illnesses that are deeply affected by our memories and how we react to past experiencesHowever, Glanzman's experiment is still highly controversial as many believe that the human brain is much more complex than those of the snails and that we may not find similar associations such as memory transfer. There is still much to discover about how our brains function and Glanzman's experiment just proves the mystic and interesting possibilities of the brain.(1)Why did the researchers choose sea snails to experiment with?A. Their memories are stored in neuron synapses.B. Their RNA is responsible for long﹣term memoryC.

2019河南省高考英语模拟试卷(附带话题热点作文,答案解析)
阅读理解(共两节)第一节阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项。
AAfter an earthquake most survivors can be expected to recover over time, particularly with the support of family and friends.Some families will be able to return to their normal life quickly,while others will have to contend_with the destruction of their homes,medical problems, and injury to family members.Children especially will need time to recover from the loss of a loved one or a pet or from the closing down of their school.Children often turn to adults for information,comfort and help.Parents should try to remain calm, answer children's questions honestly and remain understanding when they see changes in their children's behavior.Children react differently to an earthquake depending on their ages, developmental levels and former experiences.Some will respond by withdrawing (不与人交往),while others will have angry outbursts (爆发).Parents should remain sensitive to each child's reactions.Parents should spend time talking to their children,letting them know that it's OK to ask questions and to share their worries. Although it may be hard to find time to have these talks, parents can use regular family mealtimes or bedtimes for them.They should answer questions briefly and honestly and be sure to ask their children for their opinions and ideas. Issues may come up more than once and parents should remain patient when you answer the questions again. For young children, parents, after talking about the earthquake, might read a favorite story or have a relaxing family activity to help them calm down. Parents should also tell children they are safe and spend extra time with them. They could play games outside or read together indoors. Most importantly,be sure to tell them you love them.21.The underlined phrase“contend with”in Paragraph 1 can be replaced by “________”.A.deal with B.make upC.put off D.turn back22.When children ask the same question again, parents should________.A.read a favorite story to comfort themB.ask them to help do some houseworkC.be patient and answer the question againD.take them out to play games23.Which of the following pieces of advice is NOT mentioned in the passage?A.Keep a close watch on children's behavior.B.Tell the children they are safe.C.Tell the children you love them.D.Ask educational experts for help.24.What can we know from the passage?A.All people will recover from an earthquake quickly.B.Children may need a longer time to recover after an earthquake.C.Children should turn to their classmates for help after an earthquake.D.Children react in the same way as adults do to an earthquake.BAn earthquake is one of the most common natural disasters. It may cause great damage. So it is wise to learn some simple safety tips to protect yourself or your family members.Fragile items, like those made of glass should usually be placed on a lower surface, near the ground instead of placing them on cupboards higher up. Never place them near your bed, sofas and other furniture where you would be sitting or lying down. When there is a strong movement, these pieces will fall on the floor directly and not on you.There is a strong chance of short circuits (短路) and fire breakouts during an earthquake. Make sure you turn off electrical connections and gas immediately when an earthquake happens.During an earthquake, lie beneath an object that is not easily damaged. Do not go near objects that could directly fall on you. Never use the elevator to go down. Stay inside until the shaking stops and it is safe to go outside. Research has shown that most injuries happen when people inside buildings try to go out. Use the staircases at all times.If you are outdoors, do not take shelter under a tree, streetlights, electric poles or tall buildings. If you are driving, stop your car and stay in a safe place. Do not park your car under a tree or any tall object.If trapped in debris (瓦砾堆), cover your mouth with a handkerchief or clothing. Tap on a pipe or wall so rescuers can find you. Use a whistle (哨子) if one is available. Never shout for help. Shouting can cause you to breathe in dangerous amounts of dust. Do not light a match because you may burn yourself. Do not move about or kick up dust.25.The purpose of the passage is to tell readers________.A.the damage caused by earthquakesB.the rescue work after earthquakesC.what to do about earthquakesD.how to prevent earthquakes26.The underlined word “fragile” in Paragraph 2 probably means “________”.A.easily broken B.easily foundC.expensive D.heavy27.During the earthquake, people are advised to________.A.go out the building at onceB.turn off power and gas immediatelyC.take shelter under a treeD.drive to a safe place28.What should people NOT do when they are trapped in debris?A.Cover their mouth with a handkerchief.B.Tap on a pipe or wall for help.C.Use a whistle for help.D.Light a fire for help.CThe Mississippi River flows down the middle of the United States to the Gulf of Mexico in this May, 2011. Right now, melted snow and heavy rains from the north are moving south. It has been the worst flooding (洪水) in eighty years in states along the Mississippi.In Louisiana, engineers are working to keep floodwaters away from two big cities — New Orleans and Baton Rouge. New Orleans is still recovering from the failure of its flood controls during Hurricane Katrina in 2005.A plan to direct some of the water into the Morganza Spillway (泄洪道) means flooding rich farmlands in another part of the state. As many as twenty-five thousand people may have to leave areas that would be flooded.The Morganza Spillway is about seventy-five kilometers up river from Baton Rouge, the state capital. The spillway is a thirty-two-kilometer-long channel that can take waters from Mississippi to another river system. The spillway was used only once in 1973.Last week, the Army Corps of Engineers exploded a three-kilometer-wide hole along an earth levee in Missouri. They did that to protect river towns in two other states, Kentucky and Illinois. But fifty-two thousand hectares of farmland were flooded as a result.The American insurance industry says natural disasters have already caused five billion dollars in damage this year. A record number of tornadoes (龙卷风) hit along a path from Texas to Georgia. The storms killed more than two hundred people in six states. At the same time, states like Texas and Oklahoma are experiencing extremely dry weather and high winds that have caused wildfires.29.What's the main idea of the text?A.The Mississippi River floods America's heartland.B.New Orleans is attacked by one disaster after another.C.The Morganza Spillway plays a great role in controlling floods.D.The natural disasters cause huge loss in America each year.30.The serious flooding in America________.A.made 25,000 people homelessB.was taken to another river systemC.explore a three-kilometer-wide holeD.was caused by melted snow and heavy rains from the north31.The underlined word “levee” in Paragraph 5 probably means “________”.A.island B.damC.town D.farmland32.In which states are the Americans suffering from dry weather?A.Louisiana and Kentucky.B.Kentucky and Illinois.C.Texas and Oklahoma.D.Missouri and Texas.DShetland SheepdogThe Shetland Sheepdog is a beautiful dog with a long head. It has long hair and a soft undercoat. This kind of dog is similar to a Rough Collie (可丽牧羊犬) in size and appearance.Temperament (性情)The Shetland Sheepdog is a clever friend with a good temperament in nature. These dogs are so smart that many people consider them to have almost human intelligence.Living ConditionsThey are very lively indoors and will do okay without a yard.Exercise and ActivitiesThey need a lot of exercise and prefer to run about freely.PapillonThe Papillon is a little dog who is very smart. They are sometimes called butterfly dogs because their ears look like butterfly wings.TemperamentThey need to be trained not to bark (吠叫). They love human beings and want to take part in activities as much as possible.Living ConditionsAlthough they can be good city dogs, they are sometimes not good apartment dogs. If you touch their things, most of them will bark violently.Exercise and ActivitiesThey love to go for a run, but they won't mind too much if locked in the house for days at a time.German ShepherdThe German Shepherd Dog belongs to a herding group. They are often used for police work, search and rescue, and they can also become guide dogs for the blind.TemperamentThey are clever dogs. They must be strictly trained from when they are puppies because they can be aggressive (侵略性的) when they are angry.Living ConditionsThey don't like being indoors and do best with at least a large yard.Exercise and ActivitiesThey love activities connected with some kind of training.33.The Shetland Sheepdog is a kind of dog that ________.A.has good hearingB.is called a butterfly dogC.looks like a Rough CollieD.cares about its own things very much34.The Papillon________.A.likes to stay indoorsB.loves to join other dogs' activitiesC.likes to go out for a runD.loves activities with training35.According to the text, the German Shepherd Dog ________.A.barks at people who touch their thingsB.can be aggressiveC.likes to go for a run aloneD.can train itself第二节根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项,选项中有两项为多余选项。

I’m part of the Roots & Shoots program founded by Dr. Jane Goodall. The program is intended to make and promote positive changes in the world. As Dr. Goodall says, “What you do makes a difference, and you have to decidewhat kind of difference you want to make.”In Bulgaria, where I live, homeless dogs are everywhere. Many people hereturn a blind eye to them. But I cannot ignore the life of a street dog whenever I see one wandering in the street, looking for something to eat. That’s why I’m no longer a food waster. When I see wasted food, I alwaysthink of a hungry dog climbing to garbage bins, searching for food that people have thrown there. When eating in a restau rant, I’m not afraid to takeleftover food to feed stray cats or dogs.A week ago, I saw a homeless dog around the garbage bins. Immediately I knelt down, spoke to her softly and ran my hands over her. I could see that she had had puppies. I couldn’t imag ine how she could have been able to care for them. Hours earlier, I’d bagged up a plate of leftover fish. As I unwrapped it, she wagged her tail and sniffed at it. She ate all the fish in no time.It’s sad, isn’t it? I can’t understand why many of us wast e so much andthink little of it. These homeless animals have taught me that food is precious. Even when I don’t have leftovers with me, I’ll take the time toget something from the grocery store to feed them.I know my power is small, so I hope that next time you see wasted food, doturn it into worthy food. You have the power to save a life!1.

Off the coast of Hawaii’s Big Isl and swim masses of colorful tropical fish. Some of these fish will be caught and sold, ending up in aquariums around the world. Is the industry putting populations of the fish at risk?Scientists who have studied the Big Island fishery say it is well managed. Rules put in place more than 15 years ago have helped to protect the fish. Along 35% of the coastline, for example, fish collecting is banned. Two years ago, the state cut the number of fish species for the aquarium trade from hundreds to just 40.Conservationist Robert Wintner objects to the findings. Wintner, who owns snorkel shops across Hawaii, started the Snorkel Bob Foundation to protect the island’s coral reefs( 珊瑚礁). He says he simply doesn’t see yellowtang( 刺尾鱼)in the protected areas. “There should be millions of them,” he says. “Where are they?”Wintner says people believe the numbers in reports. But few people have actually dived into the coral reefs to see for themselves how many fish can befound there. According to Wintner, the coral reefs along the coast should be filled with yellow tang, but they are “virtually empty”. Empty reefs are not good for tourism, Wintner points out, which brings out $800 million yearly. By contrast, the aquarium-fish trade brings out just $2 million yearly.1. According to Robert Wintner, ________.A. the yellow tang is sold merely for both food and the aquarium industryB. there are millions of yellow tang off Hawaii’s Big IslandC. the yellow tang’s population off Hawaii coast is largeD. what the recent report says is wrong2.

Who will Win the Debate?B. Is the Tropical Fish Healthy?C. How Should We Protect Tropical Fish?D. Should the Sale of Tropical Fish be Banned?4. Computers have beaten human world champions at chess and, earlier this year, the board game Go. So far, though, they have struggled at the card table. Sowe challenged one AI to a game.Why is poker( 扑克)so difficult? Chess and Go are “information complete” games where all players can see all the relevant information. In poker, other players’ cards are hidden, making it an “information incomplete” game. Players have to guess opponents’ hands from their actions----tricky for computers. Poker has become a new benchmark for AI research. Solving pokercould lead to many breakthroughs, from cyber security to driverless cars.Scientists believe it is only a matter of time before AI once again vanquishes humans, hence our human-machine match comes up in a game of Texas Hold’s Em Limit Poker. The AI was developed by Johannes Heinrich, researcher studying machine learning at UCL. It combines two techniques: neural( 神经的 )networks and reinforcement learning( 强化学习 ).Neural networks, to some degree, copy the structure of human brains: their processors are highly interconnected and work at the same time to solve problems. They are good at spotting patterns in huge amounts of data. Reinforcement learning is when a machine, given a task, carries it out,learning from mistakes it makes. In this case, it means playing poker against itself billions of times to get better.Mr Heinrich told Sk y News: “Today we are presenting a new procedure that haslearned in a different way, more similar to how humans learn. In particular,it is able to learn abstract patterns, represented by its neural network, which allow it to deal with new and unseen situ ations.”After two hours of quite defensive play, from the computer at least, we called it a draw.1. Why can’t the computer beat humans at the poker game?A. Because humans are cleverer than the computerB. Because humans practice playing the poker game every dayC. Because the computer can’t know the other players’ cards completelyD. Because the computer can’t learn the regular rules of the poker game2. What does the underlined word “vanquishes” in Paragraph 3 mean?A. LeavesB. DefeatsC. CheatsD. Serves3. What do we know about the reinforcement learning of AI?A. It solves problems correctly every timeB. It is the same as the learning of humansC. It learns from the mistakes appearing in a taskD. It is more developed than the studying ways of humans4. What can be inferred from the text?A. The new procedure of AI has some features of humansB. Computers are stronger than humans in every aspectC. Humans will beat computers at playing poker foreverD. Scientists feel unhappy about the result of the poker game二、七选五5. 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。

A 71 -year-old Frenchman—armed with a block of foie gras(鹤肝酱) and a bottle of Sautemes—has set off to sail the Atlantic in a barrel(木桶船).Jean-Jacques Savin barreled out of El Hierro in Spain’s Canary Islands on Wednesday and headed toward theCaribbean, some 3 000 nautical miles away, in a bright orange, barrel-shaped capsule that will use ocean currents alone to move him, the BBC reported. He hopes lo reach his destination in just three months, the reporter said.“The weather is great. I’ve got a swell of one meter (3 feet) and I’m moving at 2 - 3 kilometers an hour... I’ve got favorable winds forecast until Sunday,Savin told AFP shortly after he set off.His barrel is strong enough to survive attacks from killer whales and was built to withstand constant battering from the waves. It contains a bed,kitchen,storage areas and a window in the floor that Savin can use to watch fish. It also has a solar panel that generates energy for communications and GPS positioning, and Savin will be dropping markers along his trip to help oceanographers study currents.The former military paratrooper(伞兵), park ranger and pilot has had some access to social media and his most recent update said the barrel was "behaving well" and the trip was off to a smooth start.His budget for the journey, ,$ 68 000, was raised largely through crowd funding. Savin hopes to reach Barbados but would prefer a French island like Martinique to make paperwork easier and fcifor bringing the barrel back".As for the foie gras an d Sauternes, Savin planned to save it for New Year’s Eve. He also saved a bottle of red wine for his 72nd birthday on Jan. 14.1.What would the old Frenchman do in three months?A.He would have a trip to the Atlantic.B.He would study currents for oceanographers.C.He would use ocean currents alone to move him.D.He would plan to save the red wine for his birthday.2.What can we infer about Saving barrel?A.Heavy and strong.B.Solid and perfect.C.Strong and small.D.Small and heavy.3.What did the old Frenchman do before?A.Park cleaner.B.Flyer.C.Captain.D.Swimmer.4.How did Savin get the money for his trip?A.By collecting.B.By stealing.C.By borrowing.D.By being offered.3.Martin Lewis issued an email scam (诈骗) warning to This Morning viewers to explain what to look out for and how to know if you're being scammed. He advised people to be careful of the wording of certain emails to tell if they are a scam, especially poor grammar or indistinct spelling in emails. He added that there is a four-word phrase you need to look out for to identify a scam email. If they start the email with “dear sir or madam",this often means it’s not from a legal company.He also provided a number of other general rules to spot scams.“Never give personal details if they call, text or email. The classic scam is cheats sending messages or emails asking for your details to break into your accounts, claiming to be from a bank, insurer, tax bureau, the police, or even me."Don't fall for false deals on any social media. I constantly hear of many cheating offers popping up in people’s feeds and messages,for example,Disneylandand airlines giving away free tickets online. The key here is to know the source. Is the person giving you the information trustworthy, and is the source trustworthy, too? Go to where you know it'slegal and check it. In other words, even if it looks legal, never just click without separately checking.“And of course as you may have heard me say before ‘ I DON’T DO ADS ’ 一my face has been blacked all over the Internet, over 1,000 ads on Facebook alone wrongly claiming I’m guaranteeing online trading, companies and more. All these ads are spurious— don't be fooled. And please pass on the message to anyone who you think may be fooled by these ads."1.What do we know about email scammers?A.Most of them work in legal companies.B.They are very polite to everyone.C.They are experts in information technology.D.They may pretend to be from government departments.2.What does Martin Lewis suggest people do about online offers?A.Turn down the offers immediately.B.Stop doing deals on any social media.C.Make sure where the offers come from.D.Accept the offers before checking them.3.Which of the following best explains “spurious” underlined in the last paragr aph?A.Nonofficial.B.False.C.Universal.D.Unnecessary.4.What’s Martin’s purpose of his words in the last paragraph?A.To defend himself against wrong comments.B.To warn people of wrong ads.C.To beg for forgiveness from the public.D.To trade online with Facebook.4.While we’re often pressed by time during the week and forced to sacrifice sleep in exchange for productivity, many long for the weekend so they may regain quality time with their bed. Although people regularly claim they’re going to “catch up on sleep” during this 48-hour period, there has been doubt as to whether or not doing so was even possible.Psychologist Torbjorn Akerstedt and his colleagues published findings in the Journal of Sleep Research that focus on the impact of sleeping in on days off—the weekend, for most—and how some additional snooze(打盹) time might make up for lost sleep on weekdays. The study,which tracked more than 43,000 people over a period of 13 years, found that participants younger than 65 who slept for fewer than five hours per night on weekdays faced a 52 percent higher death rate, while those who slept for fewer than the recommended seven hours per night on weekdays but slept for an extra hour or two on week ends lived as long as individuals who slept seven hours each night in the entire week.According to the study summary, among individuals more than 65 years old, no association between weekend sleep or weekday sleep time and death rate was observed. In conclusion, short, but not long, weekend sleep was associated with an increased death rate in subjects less than 65 years old. In the same age group, short sleep on both weekdays and week ends showed increased death rate. Possibly, long weekend sleep may compensate for short weekday sleep. However, while the connection seems accurate, Akerstedt cautioned that this “experimental conclusion” will require further exploration. His peers agreed with this opinion, as well.For instance, Michael Grandner, director of the Sleep and Health Research Program atthe Universityof Arizona's College of Medicine, warned that sleeping in on a weekend islike eating a salad after a series of hamburger dinners healthier, sure, but from one view the damage is done. Grandner also urged the overworked and underslept not to view sleep as time lost. Just as we require food and water, our bodies also require sleep to maintain overall health.Many people brush off sleep shortage by claiming they’ll sleep when they’re dead. But, if these findings are right, they might find themselves holding true to this promise much sooner than expected.1.What do many people do with sleep shortage according to paragraph 1?A.Sleep more on weekends.B.But down the working time.C.Call for more overtime pay.D.Improve the labor efficiency.2.Which of the following agrees with the research conclusion?A.Sleep is connected with death rate.B.Long sleep always benefits the health.C.Sleep time doesn’t affect the old people’s lifetime.D.Proper extra sleep on weekends is g?ood for people.3.What does Akerstedt think of his research result?A.It is accurate.B.It is cheerful.C.It is uncertain.D.It is useless.4.What can we infer from Michael Grandner's opinion?A.Sleeping in on a weekend is harmful.B.Salad should be eaten with hamburger.C.The hamburger dinner is a healthy diet.D.Sleep shortage can't be compensated completely.二、七选五5.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。
