Travel journal．BTwenty-one years ago，my husband gave me Sam，an eight-week-old schnauzer（雪纳瑞犬），to help ease the loss of our daughter．Sam and I developed a very special bond over the next years．At one point，my husband and I decided to move to a new home in New Jersey．Our neighbor，whose cat had recently had kittens，asked if we would like one．We were a little apprehensive about Sam's jealousy and how he would handle his turf（地盘）being invaded，but we decided to risk it．We picked a little，gray，playful ball of Fur．She raced around chasing imaginary mice and squirrels and jumped from table to chair in the blink of an eye，so we named her Lightning．At first，Sam and Lightning were very cautious with each other and kept their distance．But slowly，Lightning started following Sam - up the stairs，down the stairs，into the kitchen ．Later，when they slept，it was always together；when they ate，it was always next to each other．When I took either one out，the other was always waiting by the door when we returned．That was the way it was for years．Then，without any warning，Sam was diagnosed as having a weak heart．I had no other choice but to have him put down．The pain was nothing compared with what I experienced when I had to walk into our house alone．This time，there was no Sam for Lightning to greet and no way to explain why she would never see her friend again．In the following days，Lightning seemed heart-broken．I could see the disappointment in her eyes whenever anyone opened the front door，or the hope whenever she heard a dog bark．One day as I walked into our living room，I happened to see Lightning was lying next to the sculptured replica（复制品）of Sam that we had bought a few years ago，one arm wrapped around the statue's neck，contentedly sleeping with her best friend．4.What does the underlined word "apprehensive" in paragraph 2 mean？______A.

The Coming of Sam and LightningC. The Death of Sam to LightningD. The Importance of Sam to UsCPoetry is the artistic expression of the human thoughts and feelings in rhythmical and emotional language．Compared with prose （散文），it lays more stress on rhythm，imagery （意象），emotion，and imagination．As its language is rhythmical，its sound is highly musical．We may say，"No rhythm，no poetry"，no matter the rhythm of poetry is traditional as in metrical （格律的）style or "natural" as in free verse．So the poet must write carefully and reflectively in order to find words that not only fulfills the demands of meter and rhyme，but also expresses the meaning in a manner that complements the imagery and tone of the rest of the poem．This careful use of language is the mostsignificant difference between ordinary prose and poetry．The ordinary prose writer neatly builds an argument using words the way a mason （石匠）builds a house using bricks；the poet is an artisan who creates a fieldstone hearth （大卵石壁炉炉床）- each stone or each word is turned over，examined，and often laid aside until it can be placed where its shape，weight，and color will contribute to the strength and beauty of the whole．Prose，according to Samuel Taylor Coleridge，is "words in their best order"，and poetry is "the best words in their best order"．The reader's chief delight in reading poetry comes from his response to its musical effect，which comes from many metrical patterns represented in conventional iambic （抑扬格）feet or from repetitions and parallel phrasing shown in free verse and from other elements of poetry．8.What's the purpose of saying "No rhythm，no poetry" in paragraph 1？______A. To show the importance of rhythm in poetry．B. To show rhythm is the most important element．C. To show there is no limit on the use of rhythm．D. To show rhythm is more important than poetry．9.What is the most important difference between ordinary prose and poetry？______A. The degree of emotion．B. The careful choice of words．C. The delicate use of the metric style．D. The demands of meter and rhyme．10.Where is the reader's main joy in reading poetry？______A. The experience of the poet's emotion．B. The appreciation of the metrical pattern．C. The reader's reaction to the musical effect．D. The comprehension of the thoughts and feelings．11.How is the text mainly developed？______A. By definition．B. By examples．C. By quotation．D. By comparison．DA Russian spacecraft traveling to the International Space Station Thursday had to make an emergency landing when a rocket engine failed to fire．It was the latest in a recent series of failures for the Russian space program，which is also used by the U．S．to carry its astronauts to the station．United States astronaut Nick Hague and Russian astronaut Alexei Ovchinin landed safely about 20 kilometers from Dzhezkazgan in Kazakhstan．The city is about 450 kilometers from the Russia's Baikonur space center，which Russia operates through an agreement with the Republic of Kazakhstan．Both the U．S．space agency NASA and Russia's Roscosmos reported that the two were quickly recovered from the landing area by rescue crews．A spokesman for Russian President Vladimir Putin said，"Thank God the crew is alive" after they had landed safely．About two minutes after launching，the three-stage Soyuz booster rocket suffered an unspecified failure of its second stage．Russia's TASS news agency said the capsule carrying the two men separated from the troubled rocket safely．This caused the capsule to drop very sharply into the Earth's atmosphere．Parachutes（降落伞）helped slow the returning capsule ．Search and rescue teams were sent to recover the crew．Russia's RIA news agency reported that Russia has immediately put off all manned spacelaunches after the failure．Roscosmos head Dmitry Rogozin said he had ordered a state commission to carry out an investigation into what went wrong．He said Russia will share all relevant information with the U．S．The TASS news agency said that the ISS crew has enough supplies and that the failed launch will not affect operations．The U．S．and other nations have depended on Russia to carry astronauts to the ISS since the retirement of the Space Shuttle program in 2011．In coming years，American aerospace companies SpaceX，with its Dragon 2，and Boeing，with its Starliner，are expected to return to space．12.What can be the best title of the text？______A. The Rescue of Two AstronautsB. The Launch of Russian SpacecraftC. Cooperation between Russia and AmericaD. Emergency Landing in Failed Space Launch13.What caused the failure of the launch？______A. The problem of the engine．B. The terrible weather．C. The drop of the capsule．D. The wrong operation．14.What can we infer from the last two paragraphs？______A. SpaceX is sure to go back to space soon．B. America carried astronauts to the ISS by itself before 2011．C. Now only Russia can carry astronauts to space．D. the ISS crew lives a very good life in the space station．15.What can we learn about the launch？______A. The capsule landed safely in Dzhezkazgan，Russia．B. Russia had never failed in the space launch before this failure．C. The failed launch will have a serious effect on the operations．D. At first the capsule dropped very rapidly into the Earth's atmosphere．二、阅读七选五（本大题共5小题，共10.0分）Rising through stages to realize ourselves Many modern people have the problem that they don't know who they are and what their purpose is (1) ．Once high school seniors graduate，they seem to lose their identity．They once studied hard．But after they stop working，they begin to lose their way．In the theory of the Hierarchy of Needs （需求理论），Abraham Aslo，put forward a similar situation，which consists of the five levels of a person's need．The fifth and final level is self-realization，which is where our final achievement lies (2) ．I think self-realization has three major aspects．The first stage is acceptance，the second stage is discovery and the last stage is perseverance．Acceptance is the first stage．We should be reminded that we are all born unique，so we all have our own strengths and weaknesses．Only when we understand these，can we pursue them or change them (3) ．Once we've accepted ourselves，we can discover what we are interested in and what we want to be (4) ，but indeed we should live for ourselves．So before we start working towards a purpose，we should ask ourselves "Is this what we truly desire？" and "Is this going to change the situation we're in？The last stage is perseverance (5) ．Those who can self-realize are people who focus on the things they want to change．Through the three stages，we could gain recognition of ourselves．And by this point，whatever the things they want to our lives were like，we would be able to stand tall，confident of ourselves．A．It's nothing to a man of perseverance．B．Only by acceptance of the past can we change itC．This is especially common among college studentsD．Many people tend to go along with social expectationE．Being objective and yet tolerant is the key to acceptanceF．It is the process of knowing ourselves and finding a purposeG．Exploring our potential isn't going to be done in a short time16.

Satisfied.B.Proud.C.Frightened.D.Doubtful.25.What is“KonMari”？A.A way of clean-up.B.A principle of parenting.C.A large number of things.D.A method of criticizing books.26.What do parents think makes

Has Finally Given up Her PlanB.A Best-Seller by Kondo That Makes No SenseC.Even Kondo Cannot Follow Her Cleaning RulesD.It's Easier Said Than Done for Kondo to Write BooksCResearchers in Hong Kong showed that when the patients at nursing home with pain enjoyed jokes,funny books and videos,and singing and dancing on a weekly basis,their awareness of pain and loneliness decreased significantly.They also felt happier and more satisfiedwith life.Others have confirmed that laughter can be associated with increased blood flow,improved immune response,lower blood sugar levels,and better sleep.You don't have to write ajoke to obtain the benefits.Merely experiencing humor will do the trick.But there might be an even stronger reason that a sense of humor is born into the humanbody.Not only does humor make us smarter and healthier,but it may also make us more attractive to others.Because creating and appreciating jokes both require us to make connectionsbetween many separate pieces of information,having a sense of humor shows that we areknowledgeable and that we know how to think about it in new ways.It is amazing that intelligence is related to humor.A University of New Mexico study of400 college students found that those who scored highest on intelligence tests also scored highon humor ability.Humor has several unique powers.It forces people to consider different perspectives.Itbrings people together.If they are laughing together at something,they must agree with eachother on some level.It reduces the pain associated with life's difficulties.It exercises yourbrain.And it makes you happy.If a healthy sense of humor can make you smarter and happier,then one thing is clear:Finding time in your day for a good joke or two is no laughing matter.To start laughing,check the funniest jokes of all time.28.What does the underlined phrase"do the trick"in paragraph 2 mean?A.Form a joke.B.Make no difference.C.Achieve a good result.D.Leave a deep impression.29.What can we learn about people with a sense of humor?A.They are born healthy.B.They have wide knowledge.CThey tend to reject new things.D.They like to collect information.30 Which of the following agrees with the author's opinion?A.Humor helps get rid of bad reputation.B.College students usually have humor ability.C.A sense of humor is only developed after birth.D.Intelligent people have a good sense of humor.31.What does the author advise us to do in the last paragraph?A.Enjoy good jokes.B.Treat laughter seriously.C.Develop unique powers.D.Be brave to overcome all difficulties.DImagine you are about to complete high school and are thinking about attending a collegeor university.After doing some research,you find a school you would like to attend,but havequestions about the application process.So you go to the school's website in the hope of finding a few answers.Time goes by and you,a student,still do not have the answers.You almost feel like giving up.But today,as you can see,artificial intelligence is so advanced.You find a message appears on your computer or personal electronic device.It says something like:"How can Ihelp?"Writing back to the website,you try to explain your problem.You possibly get a fewquestions to clarify what your concerns are.Then,almost immediately,the person with whomyou are in contact provides the information you are seeking.In fact,you are not actually communicating with a school official.Youare not even dealing with a human being.You are in contact with a computer program,or chatbot.It is usingartificial intelligence,AI for short,to understand and communicate with you.This mightsound strange.But chances are that this would not be the first time you have communicatedwith a computer program without knowing it.In recent years,chatbots have become a common tool for banks and large companies around the world.Having human beings available to answer people s questions and complaints can be costly,requiring many workers.And in most cases,employees can only work for several hours ina day,increasing customers'waiting time for a response.but the chatbot can work around theclock.So not only companies,but a growing number of universities have also begun using thechatbot technology.Australia's University of Adelaide noted a major improvement in its service to studentafter employing a chathot to deal with application questions in 2018.It said that students received responses 13 times faster,and students approval of the quality of service increased by 60 percent.And just the speed of reacting toquestions is the chatbot's major strength.32.How does the author introduce the topic of the text?A.By assumption.C.By definition.B.By comparison.D.By data.33.What's the main purpose of paragraph 2?A.To tell time and tide wait for no man.B.To advise students should clarify their questions.C.To present the communication convenience brought by Al.D.To show the phenomenon that students are addicted to computers.34.What is the main advantage of the chatbot technology?A.Its low cost.B.Its ease of use.C.Its short working hours.D.Its quick response.35.What is the main idea of the text?A.Artificial intelligence is developing rapidly.B.Robots are gradually replacing human services.C.Employees chat with robots without knowing them.D.More

第四部分 第一节 短文改错Flowing through the centre of Guangzhou, the Pearl River plays an important role in the lifeofthe to factoriesentertainmentenjoying haveandimportantly that people can now fish in the river.第二节书面表达Sample 1:Dear Chris,Glad to learn that you will take part in a Chinese poem recitation contest. Here is my interpretation of the poem you’ll recite.The poem is about a son who is leaving his hometown to pursue his dream. Feeling concerned about his son, the mother decides to make a coat for him. She is worried that her son might not come home soon, so she sews every stich carefully hoping to make it last longer. This poem praises the love of mothers. In the first two lines, the characters “thread” and “coat” imply the inseparable bond between mother and son. In the l ast two lines, the poet compares a mother’s love to sunlight, which helps the grass grow day by day. And such great kindness cannot be easily repaid.Good luck in the upcoming contest! Looking forward to the news of your victory.Yours,Li HuaSample 2:Dear Chris,Glad to hear that you’re participating in the Chinese poem recitation contest. The poem you chose is an ancient one, which ought to be a real challenge.The poem, written by Mengjiao, is called A Traveler’s Song. It’s about the deep love between the poet and his mother. The poem mainly describes a scene in which a mother is making clothes for her son who is leaving home to fulfil his dream. With each stich she makes, the mother conveys her deep love for her son and her concern that he may not return. The poet expresses his ideas using similes/comparison, concluding that a “mother’s love is like the sunshine to the grass”.With its rich emotion and depth, this poem is a good choice for your contest. Best of luck.YoursLi Hua。

第一部分听力(共两节，满分30分) （略）第二部分阅读理解(共两节，满分40分)第一节(共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分)阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
AMy college experience included this life-skill lesson: Drink alcohol on a full stomach. Or you will get inebriated too quickly. Of course, most college students shouldn’t be drinking at all, but we know from the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism that close to 60 percent of college students aged 18 to 22 do consume alcohol, which makes harm-reducing approaches important.Unfortunately, campus authorities and researchers are reporting a practice that turns the full-stomach drinking strategy on its head: rather than filling up before a night of partying, significant numbers of students refuse to eat all day before consuming alcohol.This is a high-risk behavior called “drunkorexia,” which is one part eating disorder, one part alcoholism—a very dangerous combination for college-age students. The term drunkorexia, which can also include excessive exercise or purging before consuming alcohol, was coined about 10 years ago, and it started showing up in medical research around 2012. Drunkorexia addresses the need to be the life of the party while staying extremely thin, pointing to a flawed mind-set about body image and alcoholism among college students, mostly women.Imagine this scenario: A female college freshman doesn’t eat anything all day, exercises on an empty stomach, then downs five shots of tequila in less than two hours. Because there’s no food in her system to help slow the absorption of alcohol, those shots affect her rapidly, leading to inebriation and possibly passing out, vomiting or suffering alcohol poisoning. That’s drunkorexia.Tavis Glassman, professor of health education and public health at the University of Toledo in Ohio, researches drunkorexia and worries about scenarios such as the one described above: “With nothing in her system, alcohol hits quickly, and that brings up the same issues as with any high-risk drinking: getting home safely, sexual assault, unintentional injury, fights, hangovers that affect class attendance and grades, and possibly ending up in emergency because the alcohol hits so hard,” he says.“Alcohol can negatively affect the liver or gastrointestinal system, it can interfere with sleep, lower the immune system and is linked to several types of cancers,” Hultin says.1. What does the underlined word “inebriated” in paragraph 1 mean?A. excitedB. overwhelmedC. addictedD. drunk2. We can infer from the passage that ____________.A. a large number of college students spend most of their nights partyingB. some college students refuse to eat before drinking alcohol to keep slimC. There is a direct link between body image and consuming alcoholD. female college student is more likely to be hurt if she drinks alcohol3. Which of the following may Tavis Glassman agree with?A. With more food in one’s system, he may suffer from the effects of alcohol slowly.B. Drinking five shots of tequila in less than two hours is the performance of drunkorexia.C. Those who don’t attend classes and have lower grades tend to be addicted to alcohol.D. Alcohol has negative effects on the immune system and may lead to several cancers.BThe first men and women came to Britain over two and a half million years ago. They were hunters and gatherers of food who used stone tools and weapons. But the British Isles only became islands separate from the rest of Europe about 8,500 years ago, when melting ice formed the English Channel!3,000 years after Britain became an island, new tribes who came by boat from the mainland introduced farming. These tribes built earthworks for protection and as tombs for their dead. Many of these man-made hills can still be seen.Later on, people learned to build stone monuments. The most amazing is Stonehenge, a circle of huge stones begun about 4,500 years ago. Stonehenge is the world’s most famous prehistoric monument. We don’t know what it meant or what it was used for, though many different suggestions have been made.3,000 years ago the climate in Britain became colder and wetter than before, and people had to move down from high ground. A bit later iron started to be sued for tools and weapons instead of bronze. Knowledge of ironworking may have been brought by the Celts, a new wave of immigrants who started to arrive from southern Europe in about 500 BC.What we know about the first people in Britain has been worked out by archaeologists from theremains they left behind them. Pytheas, a Greek, was the first person who could read and write to come to Britain. His visit was in about 330 BC, over 2000 years after Stonehenge was begun. Unfortunately, what Pytheas wrote has been lost, so we don’t have any written record of Britain until the Romans came, almost 300 years after he did!4.This passage mainly tells us _______ .A. The dawn of history in BritainB. How English Channel was formedC. How the British made a living millions of years agoD. When humans appeared on the British Isles5.In this passage “the man-made hill” probably refers to ___________ .A. The small islands in BritainB. Earthworks for protection and as tombsC. The amazing StonehengeD. The farms opened up by the first man6.Why did people move to low ground 3,000 years ago?A. Because iron tools were used for farmingB. Because the climate made it unfit for man to live thereC. Because more people arrived from southern EuropeD. Because the Celts forced them to do so7.Only after ________ do people have written records about Britain.A. the arrival of the CeltsB. Stonehenge was begunC. Pytheas’s visitD. the Romans cameCDuring Amsterdam’s chaotic rush hour, nine -year-old Lotta Crok cycles to a very busy junction. “Look,” she says. “There’s traffic coming from everywhere. Four trams from four different directions. For a child on a bike that’s really confusing!”Lotta is the first junior cycle mayor in the world and her working area is the Dutch capital. You would think this challenge would be superfluous in a city known as the bicycle capital of the world. The number of bicycles in Amsterdam is estimated at 81,000 - more than the city’s 850,000 inhabitants - and 63% of the population cycle daily.But children who cycle in Amsterdam face challenges, Lotta says: “The three biggest problems for us are cars, cycling tourists and scooters (小型摩托). The cars take up too much space, the tourists are always swinging side to side and stop when you least expect it, and the scooters simply run you over.”Lotta became junior cycle mayor in June last year when she won a contest in which school children were asked to come up with plans to make cycling safer and more fun. Her idea was to add children’s bikes to the popular bike share programme.Since Lotta was appointed junior cycle mayor, she has been busy, giving interviews, opening cycling contests in the city and being a jury (评审员) member during the Amsterdam Light Parade, an event in which Amsterdammers decorate their bikes with lights.She is now planning a meeting with the city’s mayor to discuss ideas that children have come up with: “One of our proposals is a bicycle park where children can learn how to cycle. Right now, most of us learn a it in the street, which can be quite busy. Another idea is to create an app for tourists to teach them the rules of cycling, because most of them really don’t know.”Following the success of the Amsterdam scheme, cycle mayors around the world are now planning to appoint junior colleagues. “They see it works really well,” Boerma, the senior major, says. “I talk to the parents, Lotta talks to the children. And if you look at the city through the eyes of a child, you will also make it accessible for others. A city that’s good for an eight-year-old is also good for an 88-year-old.”8. Why is a junior cycle mayor appointed in Amsterdam?A. To teach children how to ride.B. To ensure cycling is safer for children.C. To give suggestions to the city’s mayor on how to run the city.D. To organize the cycling contests in the city.9. Which word can best replace the underlined word “superfluous” in paragraph 2?A. ImportantB. UnnecessaryC. DifficultD. Valuable10. What has Lotta done since she became the bike mayor? .A. She has solved the three biggest problems for children cycling in Amsterdam.B. She has won a contest about cycling.C. She has given interviews and been a jury member during a parade.D. She has given proposals to the city mayor.11. What’s Boerma’s attitude to the junior cycle mayor?A. CautiousB. FavorableC. AmbiguousD. DisapprovingDGive yourself a test. Which way is the wind blowing? How many kinds of wildflowers can be seen from your front door? If your awareness is as sharp as it could be, you’ll have no trouble answering these questions.Most of us observed much more as children than we do as adults. A child’s day is filled with fascination, newness and wonder. Curiosity gave us all a natural awareness. But distinctions that were sharp to us as children become unclear; we are numb(麻木的）to new stimulation(刺激), new ideas. Relearning the art of seeing the world around us is quite simple, although it takes practice and requires breaking some bad habits.The first step in awakening senses is to stop predicting what we are going to see and feel before it occurs. This blocks awareness. One chilly night when I was hiking in the Rocky Mountains with some students, I mentioned that we were going to cross a mountain stream. The students began complaining about how cold it would be. We reached the stream, and they unwillingly walked ahead. They were almost knee-deep when they realized it was a hot spring. Later they all admitted they'd felt cold water at first.Another block to awareness is the obsession(痴迷) many of us have with naming things. I saw bird watchers who spotted a bird, immediately looked it up in field guides, and said, a “ruby-crowned kinglet” and checked it off. They no longer paid attention to the bird and never learned what it was doing.The pressures of “time” and “destination” are further blocks to awareness. I encountered many hikers who were headed to a distant camp-ground with just enough time to get there before dark. It seldom occurred to them to wander a bit, to take a moment to see what’s around them. I asked them what they’d seen. “Oh, a few birds, ” they said. They seemed bent on their destinations.Nature seems to unfold to people who watch and wait. Next time you take a walk, no matter where it is, take in all the sights, sounds and sensations. Wander in this frame of mind and you will open a new dimension to your life.12. According to Paragraph 2, compared with adults, children are more ________.A. anxious to do wonders.B. sensitive to others’ feelings.C. likely to develop unpleasant habits.D. eager to explore the world around them.13. What idea does the author convey in Paragraph 3?A. To avoid jumping to conclusions.B. To stop complaining all the time.C. To follow the teacher’s advice.D. To admit mistakes honestly.14. The bird watchers’ behavior shows that they _______.A. are very patient in their observation.B. are really fascinated by nature.C. care only about the names of birds.D. question the accuracy of the field guides.15. In the passage, the author intends to tell us we should ______.A. fill our senses to feel the wonders of the world.B. get rid of some bad habits in our daily life.C. open our mind to new things and ideas.D. try our best to protect nature.第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

I have been writing now for 34 years. It all started when I was just 18 years old. As a boy I had read literally(毫不夸张地）hundreds of books. I had a thirst for knowledge that seemingly could never fade. Then suddenly I found I had something I wanted to share. I tried to ignore it, but as any writer will tell you once the ideas awaken inside of you they won?t leave you alone until you write them down. I didn?t have a computer, word processor, or even a typewriter. Still, I grabbed a pen and lined notebook paper and wrote everything that was burning inside of me.When I was done I didn?t know how to share it. There was no internet back then, no smart phones, and no social media. I sought out the editor of my local county newspaper and asked him to print what I had written. He was a good man full of both wisdom and kindness. He not only printed my first story but agreed to publish anything else I was willing to write. Icontinued to write new articles each week and shared them first with other local papers and later online as well. Years later at the urging of my readers I even self-published two collections of my stories in book form.Through my writing I slowly became more than I was. In my writings I encountered my highest self. In my writings I discovered the goodness and light that lies in us all. In my writings I found great love and joy and encouraged others to choose love and joy as well. I also found that we all are writers whether we put pen to paper or not. With every choice we make, with every thought we hold, and with everything we do we are writing our own life story.Lance Wubbels once wrote: "I hope you realize your life is truly your life. It belongs to you. It is your story to write with love. Day by day, line by line, write it well."4.As a boy, when the author found he had something to share, ________.A. he wrote it downB. he ignored itC. he shared it on social mediaD. he told it to a writer5.How did the author begin his writing career?A.

Writing is the Source of LoveCDo you find it difficult to put down your mobile phoneIf yes，you're not alone．These days，many people suffer from the stress of FOMO （fear of missing out）．They reach for their mobile phones when they wake up in the morning，andfor the rest of the day，they constantly scroll down the timelines of their social media apps to get the latest updates．Despite the convenience smartphones bring，many people struggle with their digital habits．As Sameer Samat，US tech company vice president of product management，said in his speech at the 2018 Google I/O developer conference on May 8，70% of people don't want to spend so much time on their phones．This is why during the conference Google introduced an app called Dashboard for the new version of its Android operating system．This new app includes well-being functions that aim to help users manage the time they spend on their digital devices．It all starts with a bird's-eye view．Dashboard allows users to look at all the details of their phone habits．For example，users can see how many times they've unlocked their phone and how many times they've checked their social media apps，as well as how much time they spend on each app every day．Once the users see this information，they'll be able to make some changes．With the App Timer functions，users can set a time limit for how long they can use each app for every day．After they've hit the limit，they won't be able to launch the app until the next day．But even if users become more mindful of their usage，they're still likely to be drawn in by notifications （通知）．This is where the Shush feature comes in．It automatically silences incoming calls and notifications when a user puts his/her phone face down．If people truly want to make full use of their free time instead of losing hours using their smartphones，these new functions are just one way of doing that．After all，who needs to use an app to stop you from using other apps when the easiest answer would be just to use your willpower8.People under the pressure of FOMO may ______ ．A. have trouble with their sleepB. find it hard to focus on anythingC. be addicted to their mobile phonesD. prefer to download the latest apps9.What inspires Google to launch Dashboard？______A.

People are exploring other ways to stop overusing smartphones．DWild animals are known to listen to each other for warnings that predators are near．Some birds，for example，flee when neighbors make a loud noise to announce a snake's presence．The fairy wren is a small Australian songbird．It is not born knowing the "languages" of other birds．But recent research says it can learn the meaning of a few important sounds．Andrew Radford is a biologist at the University of Bristol in England and co-writer of the new report published in early August in the journal Current Biology．He told the Associated Press，"We knew before that some animals can translate the meanings of other species' ‘foreign languages，' but we did not know how that ‘language learning' came about．"Birds have several ways of learning life skills．Some knowledge is genetically passed down by their parents and some comes from direct experience with the world．But Radford and other scientists are exploring a third kind of knowledge：information from fellows．Radford and researchers at the Australian National University carried out the study in thecountry's National Botanic Gardens in Canberra．They attached to their bodiesspecially-designed，sound-producing equipment called "tweeter speakers．" They wanted to see if fairy wrens would react to sounds of other birds even if they could not see them．The scientists first played the birds two recorded sounds that they likely had never heard before．One was a warning cry of a thornbill， a bird not native to Australia．The other was a computer-generated bird sound called "buzz．"When the 16 fairy wrens in the study first heard the sounds，they had no special reaction．The scientists then tried to train half of the birds to recognize the thornbill's cry as a warning sound．They tried to train the other half to recognize the computer-generated "buzz" as a warning call．After three days，the scientists tested what the birds had learned - and their students passed the test．The fairy wrens trained with the thornbill's cry，fled when they heard it．The group trained with the buzz，fled when they heard that sound．Neither group reacted to the sound taught to the other．12.What does the underlined word "predators" in the first paragraph mean______A. enemiesB. neighborsC. birdsD. snakes13.Which is the right order of the experiment______a．The fairy wrens were divided into two parts．b．The fairy wrens made no reaction to the strange sounds．c．The fairy wrens wore sound-providing equipment．d．The fairy wrens were trained separately．e．The fairy wrens passed the test successfully．A. a b c d eB. c b a d eC. c e b a dD. a c e d b14.It can be learned from the study that the fairy wrens ______ ．A. were not good "foreign language" learnersB. made no reaction to the sounds all the timeC. took both of the sounds as warningsD. fled when hearing the sound trained with15.The passage is probably taken from ______ ．A.

高考英语二模试卷题号I II III IV V VI 总分得分一、阅读七选五（本大题共5小题，共10.0分）This Is Why Traffic Lights Are Red, Yellow, and GreenEver wondered why blue doesn′t mean go and brown mean stop? (1) .The idea that red means stop and green means go has impacted our lives in more ways than just traffic signals. We have been taught from a young age that the color red meansdanger. (2) . But why were those particular colors chosen for traffic lights in the first place? For something we have to look at every day, why couldn't they have been prettier colors like magenta(紫红) and turquoise(天蓝色)?It's important to know that before there were traffic lights for cars, there were traffic signals for trains. At first, railroad companies used red to mean stop, white to mean go, and green to mean caution. As you could imagine, train conductors ran into a few problems with the color white meaning go— (3) , with train conductors thinking they were all clear when they really weren't. Railway companies eventually moved to the color green meaning go, and it′s been that way ever since.As far as red goes, that′s always been a color that indicated danger, long before ears were even around. Red is the color with the longest wavelength. (4) . The color yellow was used to caution drivers because it has a slightly shorter wavelength than red, but not as short as green.(5) . Employ these driving rules first and know that traffic lights have certainly come a long way.A．And the color green means it′s OK to move forwardB．Turns out, there′s a perfectly good explanation for itC．It can be seen from a greater distance than other colorsD．bright white could easily be seen from a distance by usE．bright white could easily be mistaken for stars at nightF．Why don′t we use blue to mean go and brown mean stopG．So don't get mad next time you′re impatiently waiting at a traffic light1.

February in the Perine family living room inBirmingham，Alabama．Austin， a 4-year-old boy，and his father，Tad Perine，were watching a program on Animal Planet about a mother panda leaving her cubs．"I told him that the cubs would be homeless for a while，" Tad says．"Austin didn't know what homelessness meant，but he was sad and wanted to know more．"Seeing this as a teachable moment，Tad took Austin to the Firehouse Ministries，a local shelter that provides housing，food，and other services for homeless men．As they drove by the redbrick building，they saw a group of 25 homeless men standing on the street corner．"Dad，they look sad．" Austin said．"Can we take them some food and make them smile？" That day，Austin used his allowance to buy each man a Burger King sandwich and handed the food out himself．Seeing what their presence meant to the men at the ministry，Austin and Tad returned the next week．After he returned every week for five weeks，word of Austin's acts of kindness spread through social media and national news outlets．Burger King jumped aboard，agreeingto donate﹩1，000 a month for an entire year toward the cause．Soon，churches andshelters across the country began inviting Austin to come to distribute food in otherareas．Whereas before Austin and Tad could feed 25 to 50 people at a time；now，thanks to corporate and community support，they can feed 800 to 2，000 people at once．As for Austin，he continues to give out food，smiles，and his inspirational message of love．"It makes me feel like I'm saving the day．"How does Austin feel when seeing the TV

ashore in Eastern Indonesia this week． A large amount of waste，including drinking cups and flip-flops，was found in the stomach of a whale that died off the coast near Kapota Island．The 9.5-metre sperm whale （抹香鲸）was found by rescuers from the WakatobiNational Park．The whale had swallowed 5.9 kilograms of plastic waste containing 115 plastic cups，four plastic bottles，25 plastic bags，and more than 1，000 other kinds of pieces of plastic，park chief Heri Santoso told the reporter．"Although we have not been able to deduce the cause of death，the facts that we see are truly awful，" said Dwi Suprapti， a marine species conservation co-ordinator at WWF Indonesia．She said it was not possible to determine if the plastic had caused the whale's death because of the animal's advanced state of decay （腐烂）．But this is only the latest．Four Asian nations-Indonesia，the Philippines，Vietnam and Thailand-account for 50% of the plastic waste in the oceans，according to a report by environmental campaigner Ocean Conservancy and the McKinsey Center for Business and Environment．ThePhilippines is second to Indonesia when it comes to putting away plastic waste in theoceans，according to a study published in the journal Science in January．Of the 3.2 million mismanaged waste it produces every year， 1.29 million ends up in the ocean．A report released earlier this year stated that the amount of plastic in the ocean is likely toincrease．What can we know about the sperm whale？______A．Its stomach is the home of plastic waste．B．It died of swallowing lots of plastic waste．C．It was the first whale to eat plastic waste．D．It had eaten much plastic waste before its death．Which can best replace the underlined word " deduce" in paragraph 3？______A．confirmB．causeC．approveD．containWhich country dumps the most plastic waste into the oceans？______A．ThailandB．IndonesiaC．VietnamD．PhilippinesWhat's the main idea of the passage？______A．Philippines puts away 1.29 million tons of plastic．B． A sperm whale was found dead near Kapota Island．C．Much dumped plastic waste was found in a dead whale．D．We should take measures to reduce the waste in whales．30.It hurts to keep secrets．Secrecy （保密）is associated with lower well-being，worsehealth，and less satisfying relationships．Research has linked secrecy to increased anxiety，depression，symptoms of poor health，and even the more rapid progression of disease．There is a seemingly obvious explanation for these harms：hiding secrets is hard work．You have to watch what you say．New research，however，suggests that the harm of secrets doesn't really come from the hiding after all．The real problem with keeping a secret is not that you have to hide it，but that you have to live with it，and think about it．To better understand the harms of secrecy，researchers first set out to understand what secrets people keep，and how often they keep them．They found that 97% of people have at least one secret at any given moment，and people have，on average，13 secrets．Across several studies，researchers asked participants to estimate how frequently they hid their secret during conversations with others，and also how frequently they thought about the secret outside of social interactions．They found that the more frequently peoplesimply thought about their secrets，the lower their well-being．Following up this research， a new paper reveals why thinking about secrets is soharmful．Turning the question around，the consequences of telling secrets areexamined．Researchers found that when a person reveals a secret to a third party，it does not reduce how often they have to hide the secret from others who are still kept in thedark．Rather，it reduces how often their mind wanders toward the secret in irrelevant moments．Therefore，if you choose to still keep something secret，talking to another person can make the world of difference．Secrets don't have to hurt as much as they do．Which is not one of the harms of keeping secrets？______A．Being physically sick．B．Mental problems．C．Harmed relationships．D．Hiding somewhere．Why is keeping secrets so harmful？______A．Because you must hide them．B．Because you often think about them．C．Because it's difficult to keep secrets．D．Because you must watch what to say．How can people reduce the harm of keeping secrets？______A．By working hard．B．By keeping 13 secrets．C．By thinking about the secrets．D．By telling secrets to a third person．Which is the text probably taken from？______A．An advertisementB． A research reportC． A biology textbook．D． A travel brochure．五、短文改错（本大题共1小题，共10.0分）31.假定英语课上老师要求同桌之间交换修改作文，请你修改你同桌写的以下作文．文中共有 10

Roosevelt Fireplace CabinsBGrowing up ， I thought math class was something to be endured ， not enjoyed． I disliked memorizing formulas （公式） and taking tests， all for the dull goal of getting a good grade． One of my teachers told my mother that I was "slow" ． But my problem wasn't with math itself ． In fact ， when a topic seemed particularly interesting ， I would go to the library and read more about it ．By high school ， no one told me that I could become a professional mathematician ． What I wanted to do then was to play college football ． My ambition was to get an athletic scholarship to attend a Big Ten school ．The chances of that happening were very low ． But that didn't stop my coaches from encouraging me to believe I could reach my goal ， and preparing and pushing me to work for it ． They made video tapes of my performances and sent them to college coaches around the country ． In the end， a Big Ten school ， Penn State， did offer me a scholarship ．I wish math teachers were more like football coaches ． Students are affected by more than just the quality of a lesson plan ． They also respond to the passion of their teachers and the engagement of their peers， and they seek a sense of purpose． They benefit from specific instructions and constant feedback （反应）．Until I got to college ， I didn't really know what mathematics was ． I still thought of it as laborious （耗时费劲的） calculations ． Then my professor handed me a book and suggested that I think about a particular problem ． It wasn't easy， but it was fascinating ． My professor kept giving me problems ， and I kept pursuing them ， even though I couldn't always solve them immediately ． The mathematical research I was doing had little in common with what I did in my high school classrooms ． Instead， it was closer to the math and logic puzzles I did on my own as a boy ． It gave me that same sense of wonder and curiosity ， and it rewarded creativity ． I am now a Ph ． D candidate in mathematics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology ．4.Why did the writer think math class in school was "something to be endured"before entering college ？ ______A.Because he wasn't interested in math．B.Because his math teachers didn't care to push him．C.Because he was too smart and talented for math class．D.Because he was training hard for an athletic scholarship ．5.According to the writer ， students are affected by the following things from teachersorcoaches EXCEPT ______ ．A. a sense of purposeB. constant feedbackC. passionD. specific instructions6.We can conclude that after entering college ， the writer ______ ．A.was busy looking for math problems to solveB.studied on his own just as he was in high schoolC.met with laborious calculations in his studiesD.began to realize what mathematics really is7.What is the best title for the text ？ ______A.Interest is the best teacherB.Be the best-you can make itC. Math，taught like footballD. Once your teacher，always your teacherCYou have probably read about robots replacing human labor as a new era of automation takes root in one industry after another ． But a new report suggests humans are not the only ones who might lose their jobs ．In New Zealand ， farmers are using drones（无人机）to herd and monitor cows and sheep，taking up a position that highly intelligent dogs have held for more than a century ． The robots have not replaced the dogs entirely， Radio New Zealand reports， but they have appropriated （盗用） one of the animal's most powerful tools ： barking ． The DJI Mavic Enterprise ， a﹩3， 500 drone favored by farmers ， has a feature that lets the machine record sounds and playthem over a loudspeaker ， giving the machine the ability to act as thedogs ． Corey Lambeth ， a shepherd on a farm， told RNZ the machines aresurprisinglyeffective ． "That's the one thing I've noticed when you're moving cows that the old cows stand up to the dogs， but with the drones ， they've never done that，" he said， noting the drones move cows faster， with less stress， than the dogs do．The drones come in handy for more than just herding （放牧） cows and sheep． The robots allow farmers to monitor their land from afar ， monitoring water and feed levels and checking on the animals' health without disturbing them ． Jason Rentoul told RNZ that a two-hour herding job that used to require two people and two teams of dogs could be accomplished in 45 minutes using a single drone ． "Being a hilly farm where a lot of stuff is done on foot ， the drones really saved a lot of man hours ， " he said．For now ， farmers say， there is still a need for herding dogs ， primarily because they have a longer life span than drones， can work in bad weather and do not require an electrical socket every few hours to recharge ．8.What is the main advantage of the drones over herding dogs ？ ______A.The drones can take up a job that the dogs hardly do well any longer ．B.The drones can frighten the old cows which are not afraid of the dogs ．C.The drones can finish a herding job more efficiently than the dogs ．D.The drones can work on a hilly farm and extreme weather while the dogs can't ．9.Which of the following statements is true according to the passage ？ ______A. Herding dogs will gradually lose their position on the farmland．B. The drones can only copy the dogs' barking with the current technology．C. The drones are multi-functional and leave the animals undisturbed．D. The market for the DJI Mavic Enterprise is pretty small because of its high price．10.According to the passage， why can't the drones replace the dogs entirely ？ ______A.Because the drones can't bark as loudly as the dogs do．B.Because cows are not used to seeing the drones．C.Because the drones are much more expensive than the animal．D.Because the drones' power is limited and they need charging from time to time ．11. Whatistheauthor'sattitudetowards the drones in the passage？______A. supportiveB. objectiveC. criticalD. doubtfulDRecently I rolled into a local restaurant to try an Impossible Burger，an all-plant patty（人造咀嚼感），even bloody，meat-like quality ， a surprising verisimilitude （传神）that has made it "perhaps the country's most famous burger，" as New York magazine wrote ． One bite into its wonderful ， smoky taste and， damn， I was convinced ．This is good news ， because the time has come to consume fake meat． In the fight against climate change， meat replacement is something we can try ． A University of Oxford study recently found that ， to keep global warming below 2 degrees this century ， we need to be eating 75 percent less beef and 90 percent less pork．However ， diets are culturally enshrined ， so changing them will be hard ． It isn't easy to replace 75 to 90 percent of beef and pork with fake meat ． The first taste of an Impossible Burger-a moment when low expectations work a powerful magic in the product's favor-is one thing ． But how do you keep meat-eaters asking for more after their sixth ， and their 26th？To get to true mass adoption， fake meat will need to compete favorably with the real thing on multiple fronts ． Impossible Foods' goal is to drive the price of its product below that of Safeway's 80/20 hamburger meat ， at which point people will simply vote with theirwallets ． The new industry also wants to improve on animal flesh in various ways ． Fake meat has an advantage over traditional meat because "you won't need to refrigerate it" cofounder Niko Koffeman says ． Plus， custom（定制的） production could improve choice ． "You could have very soft and tender meat for elderly people ， " Koffeman adds ． "You could have a tailored meat for whatever you need ． "You can tell the world is shifting this way ， because the ranchers（牧场主） arenervous． Last year， the US Cattlemen's Association asked the government to define "meat" as a product "coming directly from animals ． " That anxiety-and the power of the science driving it-goes to show that this grand shift isn't impossible ．12.According to passage ， the author was convinced by the Impossible Burger because______ ．A.it has a special taste that is different from normal ones ．B.it contains all non-meat materials that taste like meat ．C.more vegetables are used as main materials for the burger ．D. one bite of this burger can provide people with the energy needed for a whole day．13. What does the author mean by saying "Diets are culturally enshrined" ？ ______A.That people think their diet is the best in the world ．B. That people are unwilling to go against their culture by changing their diets．C. That people's preference for food is linked to the food choice available to them．D.That people's eating habits are consistently observed and closely connected with theirculture ．14.Which of the following statements is true about the advantages that fake meat will haveto beat over traditional meat ？ ______A.Fake meat will not be necessarily stored in a refrigerator ．B. The price of fake meat will be just one-fourth of traditional meat's．C. Fake meat will win over older people thanks to its tender and soft taste．D. Fake meat will own a taste that is not found in traditional meat．15. What can we infer from the last paragraph ？ ______A.Meat must come from animals ．B. The world will probably embrace the idea of fake meat．C. The ranchers are suffering economic loss due to fake meat．D. The definition of meat has been changed because of fake meat．二、阅读七选五（本大题共 5 小题，共10.0 分）Do you think studying in a different country is something that sounds very exciting ？Certainly ， it is a new experience ， which brings the opportunity of discovering fascinating things and a feeling of freedom． (1) You will experience culture shock ． Evidently ， at least four essential stages of culture-shock adjustment occur ．The first stage is called "the honeymoon" ． In this stage， you feel excitement about living ina different place ， and everything seems to be marvelous． (2)Eventually ， however ， the second stage of culture shock appears． This is the "hostility stage"． (3) You become tired of many things about the new culture ． Moreover ， peopledon't treat you like a guest anymore ． Everything that seemed to be so wonderful at first is now awful ， and everything makes you feel distressed and tired ．Then you come to the third stage called "recovery" ． You start feeling more positive ， and you try to develop comprehension of everything you don't understand ． The whole situation starts to become more favorable ． (4)The last stage of culture shock is called "adjustment" ． (5) The things that initially made you feel uncomfortable or strange are now things that you understand． Now you feel comfortable ； you have adjusted to the new culture ．A ． Actually ， culture shock is something you cannot avoid when studying in a foreigncountry ．B ． You have reached a point where you feel good because you have learned enough to understand the new culture ．C． You like everything ， and everybody seems to be so nice to you．D ． You recover from the symptoms of the first two stages ．E．In spite of these advantages，however， there are also some challenges you will encounter．F． However ， when you have completely adjusted to a new culture you can more fully enjoy it ．G．You begin to notice that not everything is as good as you had originally thought it was．16.

Daryl felt the sudden change in temperature．CWhen ordering food only takes a few minutes using a smartphone，it's only natural that food deliveries have become part of college life．However，a university in Guangxi Zhuang autonomous region is trying to put a stop to this trend on its campus．On Nov 1，Guangxi University of Foreign Languages banned food delivery services and disposable food boxes，both to its campus and dormitories．The ban immediately received fierce criticism from the university's students，as well as internet users．Some complained that the ban made campus canteens very crowded．"There are not enough seats in the canteen，which forces us to eat standing up or squatting，" a student in the university surnamed Tan told Guangxi Television．The crowded canteens also mean that extra time is spent dining，which could have been used to nap during the lunch break．Some even complained that the canteen only provides a few dishes，most of which don't taste so great．Su Junlv，from the university's student affairs office，explained that the ban was carried out because off-campus food posed safety risks for students．It's believed that take-away food had created a serious garbage problem，as there were often a large number of used food boxes found in campus garbage cans after students had finished their meals．According to Su，the ban was also brought in to help students develop a healthy lifestyle．"While food delivery services bring convenience，they let students form some lazy habits，" Su told Xinhua．"They spend a whole day in the dorm playing video games，watching TV soap operas and ordering food online．"However，in the eyes of Liu Junhai，a professor at Renmin University of China，there are other approaches that universities could take to improve their students' meal times．"Universities should explore how to improve the dining experience in the canteens，such as the queuing and variety of dishes，" he told Xinhua．8.What does the passage mainly talk about？______A.

Students would enjoy various tasty dishes in the canteen．C. Some students may have their meals without seats in the canteen．D. Students would have a longer nap during lunch break．10.According to Su Junlv，the ban is intended to ______A. tell the students all off-campus food is unhealthy．B. rid the campus of used food boxes．C. force students to spend less time on entertainment．D. improve the dining experience in the canteens．11.What can we infer about Liu Junhai's attitude to the ban？______A. NegativeB. SupportiveC. IndifferentD. SkepticalDA survey of university backgrounds of heads of major global companies found that Harvard in the United States was the most likely place to have studied in．The Times Higher Education magazine ranked the universities attended by chief executive officers （CEO）of Fortune Global 500 companies．There are four US universities in the top 10，with three from France，two from Japan and one from South Korea．The highest ranked UK university is Oxford in 21st place．This league table，described as the Alma Mater Index，shows which universities around the world taught the bosses of some of the world's biggest companies．One in 20 had a degree from a single institution，Harvard．This included Margaret C．Whitman ofHewlett-Packard，Jeffrey R．Immelt of General Electric and Vittorio Colao of Vodafone．But the top 10 for producing business leaders does not contain all the usual names that appear at the top of university rankings．Oxford and Cambridge are absent，but the University of Pennsylvania in the US and Keio University in Japan are included，along with three French universities，headed by the Ecole Polytechnique．Across the top 100，universities from the US dominate，followed by universities in China，Japan，France and Germany．There are more CEOs who went to university in Asia than in Europe．In terms of national comparisons，UK universities produced the sixth highest number of global chief executives，with Oxford in 21st place and Cambridge in 45th place．But even though Harvard might have taught the biggest number of bosses from the top 500 companies，it was not attended by any of the heads of the biggest 10 companies，who were from a more diverse range of universities．Royal Dutch Shell is headed by a graduate of Zurich University of Applied Sciences；Walmart is headed by a student of Georgia Tech and Exxon Mobil has a chief executive from the University of Texas，Austin．Three of the leaders of these biggest companies went to university in China and the head of Volkswagen went to university in Stuttgart．12.How many Asian universities are among the world's top 10 universities for globalCEOs？______A.

Do teenagers simply love taking all risks much more than adults? A recent study suggests otherwise.Scientists designed a simple experiment involving 33 teenagers and three other age groups. In the experiment, the researchers tried to distinguish between two very different kinds of risk-taking. The first they called a willingness to take known risks（when the probability of winning is clear）and the second they called a willingness to take unknown risks（when the possibility of success is uncertain）.The study offered participants the opportunity to play two kinds of games. They had the chance to win money, with one game offering a known risk and the other offering an unknown risk. On each round of the game, each participant had to choose between taking a sure ＄5 and known or unknown risks of winning a lot more. If on one particular round they had picked the ＄5 for sure choice, then they got ＄5. But if on that round they had chosen to take a risk, the rules of the game will determine whether or not they had won. If they did win, they went home with between ＄8 and ＄125. And, of course, if they lost, they went home with nothing.What the scientists found was really quite surprising. It turned out that the average teenager was very hesitant when risks were known—more careful than college students or parents-aged adults, and about as careful as grandparent-aged adults. This means that when the risks were known, teenagers were not risky in their behavior at all. Only when the risks were unclear did teenagers choose them more often than other groups. Under those kinds of conditions, they were much more willing to take a risk than any other group.So, what does all of this mean? The research suggests that adults should probably focus more energy on trying to educate teenagers about risks than limiting them. Teenagers who understand the risks associated with a decision are more likely to be careful in their behavior.(1) This experiment was carried out by.A. dividing the teens into three groupsB. comparing the reactions to different risksC. giving equal amount of awards to the participantsD. observing the emotional changes of the teenager(2) When facing known risks, teenagers tended to be.A. ambitsB. cautiousC. anxiousD. curious(3) Which group in the study were more likely to take unknown risks?A. Teenagers.B. College students.C. Parent-aged adults.D. Grandparent-aged adults.(4) According to the study, parents should focus on.A. guaranteeing children to be carefulB. setting age limits on dangerous activitiesC. respecting teens to make their own choicesD. guiding teens to learn more about the effect of risks4、【来源】 2020年广东广州高三二模（D篇）第32~35题8分Solar power is helping bring about a future of cleaner energy, but there are limits to where rigid solar panels（刚性太阳能电池板） can go. A new kind of solar cell made with a mineral called perovskite（钙钛矿） can go almost anywhere, says physicist Olga Malinkiewicz. We can use perovskite cells on the surfaces of the building, on the roofs of the buildings, on the roofs of the cars and on the electronic devices. We can use it on the sails. We can use it in the balls, tents and unlimited applications. Malinkiewicz says perovskite has become a favorite among solar panel researchers. Because it can be printed, everyone can use it on every surface.Malinkiewicz developed a way to print perovskite panels like an inkjet printer. She co-founded a company to produce them, called Soleil Technologies, after the Baltic sun goddess. Construction company Skanska is testing the panels at their Warsaw headquarters. Adam Targowski is sustainable（可持续的）development manager for Skanska. They work perfectly, even when TAL#NBSP they are not well exposed to sunlight. So we can use them in all surfaces of the building. Soleil calculates that about one square meter of panel can supply a day's worth of power for one worker's computer and lights. And they keep getting better as research continues, says the company's scientific director Konrad Wojciechowski.For other technologies, it took decades to really enter markets. Perovskite has been around only for few years in scientific research, so there is still a lot to be done, but potential is basically pretty much unlimited, I think. There are still durability and other problems to work out, but several companies expect to have perovskite panels on the market this year.(1) What do we know about perovskite solar cell from the first paragraph?A. It's delicate.B. It's complex.C. It's flexible.D. It's expensive.(2) What does the underlined word "they" in the second paragraph refer to?A. Skanska and Adam Targowski.B. Malinkiewicz and Skanska.C. Soleil Technologies.D. Perovskite panels.(3) What can we infer from the last paragraph?A. It needs years to put perovskite panels into markets.B. Scientists think perovskite panels are ready for markets.C. Perovskite has been studied for decades.D. Perovskite panels will soon be seen in the market(4) What is the main purpose of the passage?A. To explain how to use perovskite panels.B. To introduce perovskite panels.C. To advertise a new solar power cell.D. To propose scientists to further study perovskiet cells.二、七选五（本大题共5小题，每小题2分，共10分）5、【来源】 2020年广东广州高三二模第36~40题10分Since the 1980s eco-tourism has grown and grown. It is the fastest growing type of tourism.If done well, eco-tourism has several advantages. It is kinder to theenvironment.1This means that more natural habitat is protected and that the resources for building come from sustainable（可持续的） sources. Another advantage is that people in the developed world through eco-tourism get to experience places of great natural importance as well as communicating with local people.2However, there are some disadvantages of eco-tourism. It is felt by some environmentalists that any human activity will cause disorder in the routine of animals.3Another problem for local people is that they are expected to pose for cameras and dance etc. for money.4The tourists are destroying the culture that they are paying to protect.Eco-tourism tries to go to the places far away from othercommunities.5There is nothing stopping people taking money from tourists as well as doing environmentally unfriendly activities.It seems that the disadvantages often outweigh the advantages of eco-tourism. It might be better to take pictures of animals rather than kill animals, but given the choice the animals would sooner not have people around. It seems whether eco-tourism should be allowed should be judged case-by-case, and that the local people must be considered.A. These places are often not well policed.B. People walking through the forest may do much harm.C. And these activities will also damage the eco-system.D. It seldom ends people to untouched parts of the world.E. This is good for both parties: they both can better understand each other.F. And it encourages developers to consider the natural environment more.G.

AAccording to the International Ecotourism Society, eco-travel is “responsible travel to natural areas that protects the environment, maintains the well-beings and involves education”. Eco-travel is on the rise, as more and more people become conscious about their carbon footprint.Expert from Boundless Journeys, Matt Holmes, who works-on travel experiences towards conserving areas said, “As scientists and non-scientists learn more about how we human beings are impacting the planet, I think. more people want to do what they can while still exploring the world. Our guests are definitely interested in that aspect of our journeys. Travelers can farm their own food in Italy, managing their use of water and using solar or wind power. They can also visit n family-run camp that cares for retired logging elephants in Myanmar, know a park entry fee goes to a conservation organization in Costa Rica, employ and train members of the local community or partner with a protection group. There are lots of options for seeking out greener holiday.”Most people believe that eco-travel is expensive and it is true. Matt explained “Anti-poaching patrols (巡逻) need to be paid, solar energy equipment costs a lot to install, building with environmentally friendly, materials is more expensive and so on. The extra cost is necessary, as you re paying to minimize your footprint and protect the places you visit, which is exactly what eco-travel is about. The financial success and sustainability (可持续性) of an eco- focused operation doesn’t come from thin air.” The industry istrying to make eco-travel affordable and make it accessible to the common people.1. What is the positive influence of eco-friendly travel?A. It enables travelers to protect the environment while travelingB. It keeps human beings healthy and happy in a friendly atmosphere.C. It teaches us to be responsible for the development of economy.D. It offers some valuable education about the knowledge of gardening.2. According to Matt Holmes, travelers will be interested in ________.A. eating delicious food in ItalyB. visiting elephants in the zooC. working together with a protection groupD. raising park entry fee in Costa Rica3. What will probably be talked about in the next paragraph of the passage?A. Why eco-travel is expensive.B. How we can make eco-travel less expensive.C. What material are used in eco-travel.D. Where we can go for eco-travel.BScience is finaly beginning to embrace animals who were, for a long time, considered second-class citizens.As Annie Potts of Canterbury University has noted, chickens distinguish among one hundred chicken faces and recognize familiar individuals even after months of separation. When given problems to solve, they reason: hens trained to pick colored buttons sometimes choose to give up an immediate food reward for a slightly later (and better) one. Healthy hens may aid friends, and mourn when those friend die.Pigs respond meaningful to human symbols. When a research team led by Candace Croney at Penn State University carried wooden blocks marked with X and O symbols around pigs, only the O carriers offered food to the animals. The pigs soon ignored the X carriers in favor of the O's. Then the team switched from real-life objects to T-shirts printed with X or O symbols. Still, the pigs walked only toward the O-shirted people: they had transferred their knowledge to a two-dimensional format, a not inconsiderable feat of reasoning.I’ve been guilty of prejudiced expectations, myself. At the start of my career almost four decades ago, I was firmly convinced that monkeys and apes out-think and out-feel other animals. They're other primates(灵长目动物), after all, animals from our own mammalian(哺乳动物的) class. Fairly soon, I cameto see that along with our closest living relatives, whales too are masters of cultural learning, and elephants express profound joy and mourning with their social companions. Long-term studies in the wild on these mammals helped to fuel a viewpoint shift in our society: the public no longer so easily accepts monkeys made to undergo painful procedure kin laboratories, elephants forced to perform in circuses, and dolphins kept in small tanks at theme parks.Over time, though, as I began to broaden out even further and explore the inner lives of fish, chickens, pigs, goats, and cows, I started to wonder: Will the new science of "food animals" bring an ethical (伦理的) revolution in terms of who we eat? In other words, will our ethics start to catch up with the development of our science?Animal activists are already there, of course, committed to not eating these animals. But what about the rest of us? Can paying attention to the thinking and feeling of these animals lead us to make changes in who we eat?4. According to Annie Potts, hens have the ability of_____________.A. interactionB. analysisC. creationD. abstraction5. The research into pigs shows that pigs___________.A. learn letters quicklyB. have a good eyesightC. can build up a good relationshipD. can apply knowledge to new situations6. Paragraph 4 is mainly about________.A. the similarities between mammals and humansB. the necessity of long-term studies on mammalsC. a change in people's attitudes towards animalsD. a discovery of how animals express themselves7. What might be the best title for the passage?A. The Inner Lives of Food AnimalsB. The Lifestyles of Food AnimalsC. Science Reports on Food AnimalsD. A Revolution in Food AnimalsCWhy does time seem to fly by faster as we get old? You've got your aging brain to blame. This is likely due largely to the physical changes of our nerves and neurons(神经元). New research suggests ‘rapid fire’ abilities of the young brain allow us to process more information during youth, causing the days to seemlonger earlier in life. However, as we get old, researchers say the older brain takes more time to process information.The new finding put forward by a Duke University researcher was published in a paper in the journal European Review this week According to Adrian Bejan, the J. A Jones Professor of Mechanical Engineering at Duke, the physical changes of our nerves and neurons play, a major role in our perception(知觉) of time as we get old. Over the years these structures become more complex and eventually begin to degrade."Little babies, for example, move their eyes much more often than adults because they’re processing images at a faster rate, "Beian says, For older people, this means fewer images are being processed in the same amount of time, causing experiences to seem as though they’re happening more quickly.8. What causes time to fly faster as we get old?A. Changes of our nerves and neurons.B. Information in our brain .C. The electrical signals.D. Rapid fire abilities.9. What is unavoidable in the process of getting old?A. Longer days.B. Aging brains.C. More images.D. Less experience.10. Why do the days seem longer earlier in life?A. Young people are more energetic in their life.B. The younger brain takes less time to process informationC. Old people have fewer things to do than young people.D. Little babies move their eyes much more often.11. What is the best title of the text?A. Nerves and NeuronsB. Time Flies FastC. The Older, the FasterD. The Function of the BrainDHONG KONG-Cross-border buses operated by Hong Kong companies on Friday started trial runs on the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge (HZMB) in preparation for the bridge’s upcoming opening.“The trial runs, arranged by the governments of the Chinese mainland, the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (SAR) and the Macao SAR, would last for three days and aimed at testing the readiness of boundary crossing facilities (设施) of the thr ee places,” the Hong Kong SAR government’sTransport and Housing Bureau told Xinhua.Two major cross-boundary coach trade associations in Hong Kong were invited to send buses and members to participate in the trial runs.Freeman Cheung, secretary of Hong Kong Guangdong Boundary Crossing Bus Association, said his association would run one bus with about 10 passengers on Friday and Saturday respectively as part of the trial runs.“Our bus started at noon from the Hong Kong Boundary Crossing Facilities and ran all the way to Zhuhai in about 40 minutes,” he said, adding that “the journey was smooth.”Alan Chan, secretary of another trade association who participated in the trial runs as a passenger, said the clearance procedures at boundary crossing facilities of the three places all went on well and smoothly.“The boundary crossing facilities of Zhuhai and Macao, in particular, are operated in a collaborative (合作的) way, which helps remarkably shorten the time needed for the clearance procedures,” he said.The HZMB, situated at the waters of Lingdingyang of Pearl River Estuary, is a mega-size sea crossing linking the Hong Kong SAR, Zhuhai city of Guangdong Province and the Macao SAR.The 55-km bridge is the longest bridge-and-tunnel (隧道) sea crossing in the world.The bridge is meant to meet the demand of passenger and freight land transport among Hong Kong, the Chinese mainland and Macao, and to establish a new land transport link between the east and west banks of the Pearl River.12.
