高二英语5月月考试题有答案

高二英语5月月考试题有答案CNext Hot Language to Study: ChineseThe fourth-graders at Chicago’s McCormick Primary School are unaware of the difficulty in learning Chinese. For most, who speak Spanish at home, it’s becoming their third language. They’ve been learning and using Chinese words since kindergarten, and it’s now second nature to give a hearty “ni hao” when strangers enter the classroom.The classroom scene at McCormick is unusual, but it may soon be a common fixture(固定物) in American schools, where Chinese is rapidly becoming the hot new language. Government officials have long wanted more focus on security—useful languages like Chinese, and pressure from them—as well as from business leaders, politicians, and parents—has driven a quick growth in the number of programs.Chicago itself is home to the largest effort to include Chinese in US public schools. The program here has grown to include 3,000 students in 20 schools, with more schools on a waiting list. Programs have also spread to places like Houston, Los Angeles, New York City, and North Carolina. It’s true that the number of students learning Chinese is tiny compared with how many study Spanish or French.Advocates see knowledge of the Chinese language and culture as a help in a global economy where China is growing in importance. “This is an interesting way to begin to engage with the world’s next superpower,” says Michael Levine, director of education at the Asia Society, which has started five new public high schools that offer Chinese. “Globalization has alreadychanged the arrangements in terms of how children today are going to need to think about their careers… The question is, when not whether, the schools are going to adjust.”In Chicago, the trend extends beyond schools with high numbers of Asian students. “The fact that my students are 98% low income and 99% Latino(拉丁美洲人) and they are succeeding in this, tells me everyone should have a try at learning languages,” says Virgi nia Rivera, principal at McCormick. “We want to give our young people opportunities to advance… and Chinese is a great opportunity to survive in today’s economy,” says Richard M. Daley, Mayor of Chicago.28. The underlined word “Advocates” in the text prob ably means” .A. SupportersB. ObjectorsC. TeachersD. Learners29. How many languages are mentioned in this passage?A. Six.B. Two.C. Three.D. Four.30. In the last paragraph, the underlined word “this ”probably refers to _____.A. the competition between Latino and Asian studentsB. the global economyC. the interesting way to engage with ChinaD. the Chinese learning31. What CANNOT be learned from this passage?A. Most students at McCormick can speak three languages.B. Chinese is gaining its popularity in all schools in Chicago.C. French has far more speakers than Chinese does in Chicago.D. Globalization in a way makes it necessary to learn Chinese.32. Which of the following is mainly about in this passage?A. The Chinese learning in Chicago.B. The ways to learn Chinese.C. McCormick Primary School.D. Globalization and Chinese learning.DWorried about how many calories you will get in that piece of pizza, chocolate cake or bag of chips? A new iPhone application (应用程序) MealSnap may help. Users just need to take a picture of the meal with the phone, and it will give a calorie read-out almost immediately.MealSnap was developed by DailyBurn, a health social network that focuses on helping its users lead healthier lifestyles. It has created several other health and diet-related iPhone applications. The application gives users a quick reply. To do that, it matches the taken picture to a databank (数据库) with the calorie information of nearly 500,000 kinds of food. Users then get the range of calories for the meal that is photographed.We started with something simple—an apple. A couple of minutes later, the application replied that it was an apple and between 64 and 96 calories. More impressive was the reply we received after sending a photo of a mixed salad bowl. MealSnap replied that the bowl contained “yellow rice with corn, boiled eggs and beans” and that the food was between 532 and 789 calories.Mr. Smith, director of DailyBurn, said that usual calorie counting needed a long time, but that the application made it easier to know the calories in food. That is why it is so popular among those who are trying hard to lose weight.In addition, MealSnap can act as a food diary. No need to write down what they’ve eaten, the photoes will be stored. The users can keep a visual log (视觉的记录). Mr. Smith said, “it’slike a food journey, but easier. All you do is to take the picture. The simple act of recording something can cause a psychological (心理的) change that can help people on their health journey. Knowin g the calorie range makes me think more about what I’m eating.”33. The purpose of DailyBurn is to________.A. help people find ways to lose weightB. make iPhone more popularC. persuade people to buy iPhone productsD. help people have a healthy life34. What can be learned from the third paragraph?A. MealSnap is only useful for simple things.B. The result of MealSnap isn’t always right.C. MealSnap can also tell what the food is.D. MealSnap needs a long time to show the calorie range.35. Which of the following statements about MealSnap is TRUE?A. It has been put into the market.B. People will have a physical change by using it.C. It’s popular because it was developed by DailyBurn.D. People have to link iPhone with the Internet to use it.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。

There is no re-admission.Closed: 24-26 December and 1 January.Admission£4. Children under 12 years accompanied by an adult are admitted free.Schools and CollegesA special low entrance charge of £2 per person is available to all in full-time education, up to and including those at first degree level, in organised groups with teachers.1．What is the right time for attending Raeburn’s English Contemporaries?A．Sun. 26 Oct.B．Thurs. 30 Oct.C．Thurs. 6 Nov.D．Thurs.13 Nov.2．How much would a couple with two children under 12 pay for admission?A．£4.B．£8.C．£12.D．£16.3．How can full-time students get group discounts?A．They should go on Sunday mornings.B．They should come from art schools. C．They must be led by teachers.D．They must have ID cards with them.We’ve reached a strange—some would say unusual—point. While fighting world hunger continues to be the matter of vital importance according to a recent report from the World Health Organization (WHO), more people now die from being overweight, or say, from being extremely fat, than from being underweight. It’s the good life that’s more likely to kill us these days.Worse, nearly 18 million children under the age of five around the world are estimated to be overweight. What’s going on?We really don’t have many excuses for our weight problems. The dangers of the problem have been drilled into us by public health campaigns since 2001 and the message is getting through—up to a point.In the 1970s, Finland, for example, had the highest rate of heart disease in the world and being overweight was its main cause. Not any more. A public health campaign has greatly reduced the number of heart disease deaths by 80 per cent over the past three decades. Maybe that explains why the percentage of people in Finland taking diet pills doubled between 2001 and 2005, and doctors even offer surgery of removing fat inside and change the shape of the body. That has become a sort of fashion. No wonder it ranks as the world’s most body conscious country.We know what we should be doing to lose weight—but actually doing it is another matter. By far the most popular excuse is not taking enough exercise. More than half of us admit we lack willpower.Others blame good food. They say: it’s just too inviting and it makes them overeat. Still others lay the blame on the Americans, complaining that pounds have piled on thanks to eating too much American style fast food.Some also blame their parents—their genes. But unfortunately, the parents are wronged because they’re normal in shape, or rather slim.It’s a similar story around the world, although people are relatively unlikely to have tried tolose weight. Parents are eager to see their kids shape up. Do as I say—not as I do.4．What is the “strange” point mentioned in the first sentence?A．The good life is a greater risk than the bad life.B．Starvation is taking more people’s lives in the world.C．WHO report shows people’s unawareness of food safety.D．Overweight issue remains unresolved despite WHO’s efforts.5．Why does the author think that people have no excuse for being overweight?A．A lot of effective diet pills are available.B．Body image has nothing to do with good food.C．They have been made fully aware of its dangers.D．There are too many overweight people in the world.6．The example of Finland is used to illustrate ________.A．the cause of heart diseaseB．the fashion of body shapingC．the effectiveness of a campaignD．the history of a body conscious country7．Which would be the best title for the passage?A．Actions or Excuses?B．Overweight or Underweight?C．WHO in a DilemmaD．No Longer Dying of HungerFor most city people, the elevator is an unremarkable machine that inspires none of the enthusiasm or interest that Americans afford trains, jets，and even bicycles. Dr. Christopher Wilk is a member of a small group of elevator experts who consider this a misunderstanding. Without the elevator, they point out, there could be no downtown skyscrapers or tall buildings, and city life as we know it would be impossible. In that sense, they argue，the elevator’s role in American history has been no less significant than that of cars. In fact, according to Wilk the car and the elevator have been locked in a “secret war” for over a century, with cars making it possible for people to spread horizontally (水平地)，and elevators pushing them toward life in close groups of towering vertical (垂直的)columns.If we tend to ignore the significance of elevators, it might be because riding in them tends tobe such a brief, boring, and even awkward experience^one that can involve unexpectedly meeting people with whom we have nothing in common, and an unpleasant awarenessof the fact that we’re hanging from a cable in a long passage.In a new book, Lifted, German journalist and cultural studies professor Andreas Bernard directed all his attention to this experience, studying the origins of elevator and its relationship to humankind and finding that riding in an elevator has never been a totally comfortable experience. “After 150 years, we are still not used to it”，Bernard said. “We still have not exactly learned to cope with the mixture of closeness and displeasure.” That mixture, according to Bernard, sets the elevator ride apart from just about every other situation we find ourselves in as we go about our lives.Today，as the world’s urban population explodes，and cities become more crowded, taller, and more crowded, America’s total number of elevators—900,000 at last count, according to Elevator World magazine’s “2012 Vertical Transportation Industry”一are a force that’s becoming more important than ever. And for the people who really, really love them, it seems like high time that we looked seriously at just what kind of force they are.8．What does the underlined word “this” in Paragraph 1 refer to?A．The general view of elevators.B．The particular interests of experts.C．The desire for a remarkable machine.D．The enthusiasm for transport vehicles.9．The author’s purpose in mentioning cars is .A．to contrast their functions with elevators,B．to emphasize the importance of elevatorsC．to reveal their secret war against elevatorsD．to explain people’s preference for elevators10．According to Prof. Bernard, what has made the elevator ride different from other life experiences?A．Vertical direction.B．Lack of excitement.C．Little physical space.D．Uncomfortable conditions.11．The author urges readers to consider .A．the exact number of elevator loversB．the serious future situation of elevatorsC．the role of elevators in city developmentD．the relationship between cars and elevatorsAcademic dishonesty is nothing new. As long as there have been homework assignments and tests, there have been cheaters. The way that cheating looks has changed over time, though, particularly now that technology has made it easier than ever. A study by the Josephson Institute of Ethics interviewed 23,000 high school students and asked them a variety of questions about academic ethics. Of the teens surveyed, 51 percent said that they had knowingly cheated at some point on an exam but that they did not feel uneasy about the behaviour. A Common Sense Media survey found that 35 percent of students had cheated via smartphone, though the parents surveyed in that particular study did not believe their kids had ever cheated. In many cases, students did not realize that strategies like looking up answers on a smartphone were actually cheating at all.In today’s classrooms, students who cheat are rarely caught. There are no formulas written on the insides of hands or students looking across the aisle, or whispering answers to their classmates. Today’s students use smartphones, tablets or even in-class computers to aid their cheating attempts and leave no trace of their crimes. Since cheating through technology is not listed specifically as being against the rules in many school policies, students do not view the actions unethical (不合道德的).The technology is being adopted so quickly that school districts cannot adequately keep up with cheating policies, or even awareness campaigns that alert students to the problem with using technology to find answers in a certain way. From a young age, students learn that answers exist conveniently at their fingertips through search engines and expert websites.Schools must develop anti-cheating policies that include technology and these policies must be updated consistently. Teachers must stay on guard when it comes to what their students are doing in classrooms and how technology could be playing a negative role in the learning process. Parents must also talk to their kids about the appropriate ways to find academic answers and alert them to unethical behaviours that may seem innocent in their own eyes.12．What do we learn from the study by the Josephson Institute of Ethics?A．Over half of the students interviewed were unaware they were cheating.B．Cheating was becoming a way of life for a majority of high school teens. C．Cheating was getting more and more difficult for high school students.D．More than half of the interviewees felt no sense of guilt over cheating.13．What did the Common Sense Media survey reveal?A．Most parents tended to overprotect their children.B．Parents and kids had conflicting ideas over cheating.C．Students were in urgent need of ethical education.D．Many students committed cheating without parents’ awareness.14．What does the author think schools should do to tackle cheating?A．Alert parents to their children’s behaviour.B．Reform their exam methods constantly. C．Take advantage of the latest technologies.D．Bring policies against cheating up to date.15．What does the author suggest teachers do in the classroom?A．Prevent students from using electronic devices.B．Develop more effectiveanti-cheating strategies.C．Guard against students’ misuse of technology D．Find more ways to stop students’ unethical acts.二、七选五Is Fresh Air Really Good for You?We all grew up hearing people tell us to “go out and get some fresh air.” ___16___ According to recent studies, the answer is a big YES, if the air quality in your camping area is good.___17___ If the air you’re breathing is clean—which it would be if you’re away from the smog of cities—then the air is filled with life-giving, energizing oxygen. If you exercise out of doors, your body will learn to breathe more deeply, allowing even more oxygen to get to your muscles(肌肉) and your brain.Recently, people have begun studying the connection between the natural world and healing(治愈). ___18___ In these places patients can go to be near nature during their recovery. It turns out that just looking at green, growing things can reduce stress, lower bloodpressure, and put people into a better mood(情绪).Greenery is good for us. Hospital patients who see tree branches out their window are likely to recover at a faster rate than patients who see buildings or sky instead. ___19___ It gives us a great feeling of peace.___20___While the sun’s rays can age and harm our skin, they also give us beneficial Vitamin D. To make sure you get enough Vitamin D—but still protect your skin—put on sunscreen right as you head outside. It takes sunscreen about fifteen minutes to start working, and that’s plenty of time for your skin to absorb a day’s worth of Vitamin D.A．Fresh air cleans our lungs.B．So what are you waiting for?C．Being in nature refreshes us.D．Another side benefit of getting fresh air is sunlight.E．But is fresh air really as good for you as your mother always said?F．Just as importantly, we tend to associate air with health care.G．All across the country, recovery centers have begun building Healing Gardens.三、完形填空I tend to accept any idea put forward by experts on TV.

I have to admit that when I first heard that Paul Salopek was going to walk the entire globe on his own two feet, I was blown away. I couldn’t imagine that there could be such an unusual person in the world.Last May, I met Paul. He told me that it was his first time in China. He talked to me with great excitement about the history, migrations, and discoveries in my region of China. He spoke of the Shu-Yandu Dao (the Southern Silk Road), the travels of the 17th-century Chinese explorer Xu Xiake, the Tea Horse Road and the early 20th-century American botanist Joseph Rock. He also talked of Xuanzang. Paul considered many of them heroes and in a sense Chinese pioneers of slow journalism.I decided to accompany Paul on his walk toward Yunnan. On September 28, 2021, we set out. Our days were simple: walk, eat, sleep, and repeat. We woke up at sunrise, set off in high spirits, and rested at sunset, dragging ourselves into exhausted sleep.We met many people on the road. Some were curious, surrounding us and watching us; some gave us directions; some invited us into their home to take a rest; some spoke of the charm of their hometown. We met many beautiful souls, simple souls and warm souls. We were walking with our minds.Together, we were impressed by the biodiversity of the Gaoligong Mountains. As I walked on ancient paths through mountains, I seemed to hear the antique voices of past travelers urging me to be careful on the road.Looking back on the more than 200 miles I walked with Paul, I came to a realization. Walking for its own sake, while healthy and admirable, is only a small part of the benefit of moving with our feet. A deeper reward is rediscovering the world around us, shortening the distance between each other, and sharing each other’s cultures.4. How did the writer first respond to Paul’s travel plan?A. Scared.B. Puzzled.C. Disappointed.D. Surprised5. What can we learn about Paul Salopek from paragraph 2?A. He was a western journalist.B. He had a knowledge of China.C. He came to China several times.D. He was Joseph Rock’s acquaintance.6. What does paragraph 4 tell us about the writer and Paul?A. They honored the ancestors.B. They set off in high spirits.C. They satisfied the locals’ curiosity.D. They built bonds with people.7. What is the main purpose of the writer’s writing the text?A. To share and reflect on a journey.B. To suggest a new way of travel.C. To advocate protection of biodiversity.D. To introduce and promote Chinese culture.CIntegrity is the quality of being honest and strong about what you believe to be right. The concept of integrity has played a key role in moral philosophy throughout history and is promoted in all societies because of its importance to social relations. Individual integrity is vital to society, one that enables people to make use of their capacity for critical reflection, docs not force peopleto take up particular roles and docs not encourage individuals to betray（背叛）each other. Besides, societies can be favorable to the development of individual integrity.Individual integrity can lift up the spirits of the entire society. It can shape the lives of people living in a particular society, the lives of all fellow people and, in its broadest sense, even the destiny（命运）of a nation. By contrast, if those living in the society are corrupt, it could have bad effects, jeopardizing the healthy morality of the society.On the other hand, a society can be favorable to the development of individual integrity. Society expects and requires integrity. A society consisting of people of integrity, and people who never compromise on their principles, could have a positive mark on the personal development on its members. Being a part of such a morally lively community could serve as a basis for absorbing traits of good character. This could be of a distinct advantage to any individuals in the society.Nonetheless, some social structures are of the wrong sort for some individuals to pursue integrity. If that is the case, we have to ask questions about the moral nature of society first before raising questions about individual integrity. Questions about integrity may turn out to be about what kind of society it is, rather than about the relationship between individual interests and characteristics of a society. The pursuit of adequate individual integrity often depends, not so much on understanding who one is and what one believes and is committed to, but rather understanding what one’s society is and imagining what it could be.Under no circumstances can we underestimate the importance of human integrity in a society. People, who are honest, trustworthy, compassionate and caring, are the factors decisive in the growth of individuals as well as the development of a society.8. Individual integrity has been valued in society because______.A. it helps develop philosophyB. it is crucial to social relationsC. it is the basis of critical thinkingD. it ensures people’s particular roles9. The underlined word “jeopardizing” in Paragraph 2 probably means “______”.A. dominatingB. decidingC. dividingD. destroying10. What does the author believe according to the passage?A. Individual integrity relies on what one has faith in.B. The pursuit of individual integrity changes with time.C. The nature of society is decided by economic development.D. Social structures guide the formation of individual integrity.11. Which of the following shows the development of ideas in the passage?A. B. C. D. CP: Central Point P: Point Sp: Sub-point C: ConclusionDDeath is a serious theme worthy of great poets. For example, John Keats’ When I Have FearsThat I May Cease to Be and John Donne’s Death, Be Not Proud both discuss death in reflective ways. However, the imagery in these poems shows that while Keats believed death can only bring destruction. Donne believed death can be overcome.Keats was afraid of death, because to him death meant the loss of those things that made his life worth living: “…on the shore / Of the wide world I stand alone, and think / Till love and fame to nothingness do sink.” In other words, Keats’ fear was that death was a “nothingness” that would arrive before he could finish his life’s work or find his true love.Donne had a different attitude toward death, and so the imagery in his poem is different, too. To Donne, death should “be not proud” because it was not “mighty and dreadful”. He also said that death was like “rest and sleep”. Donne believed that we would all wake from the sleep of death to everlasting life, just as we wake from our normal sleep to our everyday lives.Keats and Donne both knew that death was a part of life, and both poets used powerful imagery to talk about that difficult theme. The differences in this imagery show two very different attitudes toward the subject, one of which is much more positive than the other. Which poet to believe is up to the reader to decide.Not surprisingly, the readers’ own experiences may play a part in the way they respond to these poets’ approaches. Like the two poets and their beliefs, contemporary readers also may be divided on the subject. This may explain why Keats’ and Donne’s poetry remains fascinating years after their deaths.12. Which of the following may Keats agree with?A. Death could stop him from writing poetry.B. Death could help him find true love.C. Death was not mighty and dreadful.D. Death could be overcome by people.13. What did Donne believe in his poems?A. Death was generally powerful and terrible.B. Death was only a ceaseless sleep.C. Death was merely the loss of work and love.D. Death was hardly worth the fear.14. Why may contemporary readers view the serious subject of Keats and Donne differently?A. Because they are attracted to the two poets’ everlasting opposite beliefs.B. Because they are divided naturally by their positive or negative personalities.C. Because their own life experiences affect the understandings of the poems.D. Because their preferences for the poets’ strong imageries are various.15. Which of the following best describes the main writing style of the passage?A. Listing.B. Argument.C. Comparison.D. Reasoning.第二节阅读填空（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）从短文后的七个选项中选出正确的选项填入空白处。

From delicate patterns on the doors, to the decorated gardens, the Red House shows a strong medieval style.The Mackintosh House, GlasgowLocated on the site of the former home of legendary architect Charles Rennie Mackintosh and his wife, the reconstructed Mackintosh House offers a rare insight into their private lives. Furnished with the couple’s own furniture, eve rything has been considered in order to recreate the original interior as faithfully as possible.Barbara Hepworth Museum and Sculpture Garden, CornwallThough she was born in Yorkshire, British sculptor (雕塑家) Barbara Hepworth moved to Cornwall and stayed there for the rest of her life. She claimed that there was a quality of inspiration to be drawn from the Cornish skyline and sea view that she simply couldn’t obtain from the city. It was Hepworth’s wish that her home would be turned into a museum of her work.Henry Moore Foundation, HertfordshireSculptor Henry Moore found his Muse in the beautiful Hertfordshire village of Perry Green and created many of his most famous works there. Unlike traditional galleries, visitors can get close with these impressi ve structures. Access to Moore’s home is through guided tours only. Visit on a sunny day, take a picnic, and experience the scenic village in person!1. Which residence is influenced by medieval styles?A．Red House.B．The Mackintosh House.C．Henry Moore Foundation.D．Barbara Hepworth Museum and Sculpture Garden.2. What do we know about the Mackintosh House?A．It is the current residence of Mackintosh.B．It is rebuilt to improve Mackintosh’s life.C．It restores the interior design of the Mackintoshs’.D．It reflects Mackintosh’s faith in original furniture design.3. What do the last two residences have in common?A．Both sculptors take inspiration from nature.B．Both sites allow close contact with the designers.C．Both residences will be turned into urban museums.D．Both sites allow tours accompanied by the guide only.2. In 2018, a severe drought brought Cape Town close to “Day Zero”, when it could have become the world’s first major city to run out of water. Dam levels in South Africa’s Western Cape fell to below a fifth of capacity and the province suffered its worst water crisis in 100 years.“The water supply was dwindling and it just wasn’t raining,” recalls Thinus Booysen, a professor at Stellenbosch University, who had created a device in 2015 designed to help homeowners cut their power usage. Seeking to reduce water waste, Booysen figured he could adapt the device to measure water usage instead of electricity use.Soon, Booysen launched a start-up, Bridging the Internet of Things (BridgloT), to develop his idea. Called Count Dropula, the device reports water usage once a minute while many conventional devices only record data once an hour. The system uses an app in the user’s cellphone and sends short messages in real time. “Within minutes, we would be able to tell the user, ‘Something has burst, or something is leaking,’” he says.Then Booysen discovered that a key issue was maintenance (维修), with the poorest schools using by far the most water. Leaking toilets could waste 1,000 liters of wa ter per day. “We found that the biggest problems are things like children not closing taps properly, but often that would be because the taps just don’t close,” Booysen explains. During the test, the invention saved one school more than three million liters of water in three months. Another reduced its water usage 55 percent in four months.Businesses including Cape Talk radio station and Africa’s largest food company, Shoprite, became sponsors, partnering with the Western Cape Education Department to install (安装) test devices in 350 schools. They saved more than $2.7 million and almost 550 million liters of water in 17 months. Booysen has looked at expanding to government buildings, hospitals and hotels. There are plans to roll out the device across Africa.1. What does the underlined word “dwindling” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?A．Beginning B．Continuing.C．Expanding. D．Decreasing.2. Which words can best describe Booysen?A．Proud and determined.B．Cautious and friendly.C．Creative and caring.D．Ambitious but generous.3. What do we know about Count Dropula?A．It works smartly to help save water.B．It was designed by Booysen in 2015.C．It will soon be tested in 350 schools.D．It cuts power usage efficiently.4. What will Booysen probably do next?A．He will become a member of Shoprite.B．He will further promote his new invention.C．He will stop water pollution in Cape Town.D．He will travel around Africa for better ideas.3. Scientists in Switzerland have used lasers(激光)to change the path of a lightning strike. The experiment was carried out on Säntis mountain in Switzerland, near a radio and TV tower that’s hit by lightning about 100 times a year. Using a special laser, the researchers were able to guide the lightning strike.Scientists have been trying to find a way to protect buildings from lightning for a long time. Currently, the best way to protect buildings from lightning is by putting metal rods(棒)on the buildings. But lightning rods can only protect a small area. If a building is very large, it needs a lot of lightning rods. But some buildings—such as airports—are so large that it’s difficult to protect the whole building using lightning rods.Another idea is to use lasers to guide lightning. The idea of using lasers to guide lightning isn’t new. Scientists have been working on the idea for over 20 years. They have successfully guided lightning with lasers inside a laboratory.But until recentl y, scientists haven’t been able to guide lightning with lasers outside. That changed in the summer of 2021. Using a powerful laser that can fire about 1,000 times a second, scientists in Switzerland were able to guide lightning for 164 feet away.The heat from the laser creates a path of air that is less thick than the air around it. The path also has a special charge. The lightning can follow this path almost as if it were a lightning rod.But despite the progress, the laser still didn’t guide the lightn ing as far as the scientists would like. To protect buildings from most lightning, lasers will have to guide the lightning for a much longer distance. The laser is also very expensive. The scientists say it cost about $2 billion. It will probably take 10 or more years before a laser like this is truly able to protect large buildings.1. What is this new technology expected to protect?A．High buildings. B．Large buildings.C．Important buildings. D．Complex buildings.2. What do we know about the new technology of using lasers?A．It is still being tested. B．It works only in the lab.C．It is an invention of Swiss scientists. D．It cools the air around the lightning.3. What does the last paragraph mainly tell us about the new technology?A．Its cost control. B．Its disadvantages.C．Its wide application. D．Its promising future.4. What can be the best title of this text?A．Guide Lightning With a Laser B．Lightning Rods Are out of DateC．Use Lasers to Block Lightning D．Lightning Can Be Used to Serve People 4. Failure is probably the most exhausting experience a person ever has. There is nothing more tiring than not succeeding.We experience this, tiredness in two ways: as start-up fatigue (疲惫) and performance fatigue. In the former case, we keep putting off a task because it has either too boring or too difficult. And the longer we delay it, the more tired we feel.Such start-up fatigue is very real, even if not actually physical, not something in our muscles and bones. The solution is obvious though perhaps not easy to apply: always handle the most difficult job first.Years ago, I was asked to write 102 essays on the great ideas of some famous authors. Applying my own rule, I determined to write them in alphabetical (按字母顺序), never letting myself leave out a tou gh idea. And I always started the day’s work with the difficult task of essay-writing. Experience proved that the rule works.Performance fatigue is more difficult to handle. Though willing to get started, we cannot seem to do the job right. Its difficulties appear so great that, bow ever hard we work, we fail again and again. In such a situation, I work as hard as I can - then let the unconscious take over.When planning Encyclopedia Britannica (《大英百科全书》), I had to create a table of contents based on the topics of its articles. Nothing like this had ever been done before, and day after day I kept coming up with solutions, but none of them worked. My fatigue became almost unbearable.One day, mentally exhausted, I wrote down all the reasons why this problem could not be solved. I tried to convince myself that the trouble was with the problem itself, not with me. Relieved, I sat back in an easy chair and fell asleep.An hour later, I woke up suddenly with the solution clearly in mind. In the weeks that followed, the solution which had come up in my unconscious mind proved correct at every step. Though I worked as hard as before, I felt no fatigue. Success was now as exciting as failure had been depressing. Human beings, I believe must try to succeed. Success, then, means never feeling tired.1. What does the author recommend doing to prevent start-up fatigue?A．Writing essays in strict order.B．Building up physical strength.C．Leaving out the toughest ideas.D．Dealing with the hardest task first.2. On what occasion does a person probably suffer from performance fatigue?A．Before starting a difficult task.B．When all the solutions fail.C．If the job is rather boring.D．After finding a way out.3. According to the author, the unconscious mind may help us ________ .A．ignore mental problemsB．get some nice sleepC．gain complete reliefD．find the right solution4. What could be the best title for the passage?A．Success Is Built upon FailureB．How to Handle Performance FatigueC．Getting over Fatigue: A Way to SuccessD．Fatigue: An Early Sign of Health Problems5. What Does Your Handwriting Say About You?Why do some people have better handwriting than others? Does it reflect your personality? Graphologists(笔迹学者) believe your handwriting speaks volumes about your personality.A study by graphologists says: “Graphology is a discipline used in the determination, study, and interpretation of a person’s personality with the aid of spaces, curves, strokes in a handwritten text.1 It expresses various perso nality traits, like how honest a person is, how afraid the person is, etc.”Some graphologists believe that a right slant(倾斜) in your writing could mean you are outgoing and open to new things, but a left slant could mean the opposite-that you like to be alone. Writing with no slant can mean that you’re logical, practical person, not outwardly emotional.Large letters may suggest a big personality and that you seek attention, while small letters mean the opposite. 2People who write with big loops(圈) when joining the letter L to another letter are thought to be relaxed and spontaneous, whereas a loopless L means the opposite, you’re seen as tense. 3Space between letters can also determine characteristics. Spaced out letters suggest that you don’t like to be crowded and like your space. Close letters can mean you get lonely easily and enjoy being around people most of the time-you might also fail to give others enough space.4 With computers and iPhones, many type everything. Handwriting is often used recreationally for things, such as personal notes, song writing, and journaling.There is no problem in taking pride in your handwriting, whether it’s good or not. 5 If you’re the only one who is going to read your notes, it’s understandable to write howe ver carelessly you want, as long as you can read them. If you’re writing for others, you might want to make sure everything is neat and easy to read.If you hate your handwriting, don’t worry, you can always change it.6. I was talking to some friends while standing in line in the cafeteria at my middle school. As I started to share a funny story, my friend Elizabeth _______ me. “Coco! Coco!” she called out. Everyone laughed. This is so _______, I thought. I felt a little bit uncomfortable.However, I never wanted to ask what “Coco” meant. I _______ it was a code word for a cute boy. Elizabeth was one of the girls that everyone wanted to be friends with. I felt _______ to be friends with her. Later, I noticed that Elizabeth often said bad things about other kids. I would have never said those things about someone, but to fit in, I _______ when Elizabeth said them.One day, a classmate stopped by my locker and said to me, “‘Coco’ means Elizabeth thinks you’re being _______. It’s really mean.” My eyes filled with tears. I couldn’t _______ it.The next day, at lunchtime, I sat beside Macy, who was sitting with another two girls and who had always seemed nice, _______ that she didn’t know about Coco. “You know Elizabeth is mean, right?” My heart _______. She knew. Before I could respond, Macy said, “You didn’t ________ tobe treated that way, and nobody else does either.” I smiled and then talked to my new friends with ________. We laughed a lot, and no one interrupted with a mean code word.Most adolescents are attempting to ________ who they are and who they want to be. The word Coco will always serve as a(n) ________ that I need to stay ________ to myself and never compromise my values to be frie nds with someone. Because with ________ friends, I won’t have to.1.A．interrupted B．mentioned C．greeted D．recognized2.A．incredible B．odd C．risky D．relaxing3.A．knew B．admitted C．recalled D．assumed4.A．embarrassed B．guilty C．lucky D．ready5.A．quit B．sighed C．laughed D．complained6.A．mean B．annoying C．unfair D．dishonest7.A．believe B．afford C．resist D．make8.A．ensuring B．suspecting C．realizing D．praying9.A．broke B．sank C．softened D．melted10.A．expect B．deserve C．intend D．refuse11.A．caution B．sympathy C．delight D．regret12.A．figure out B．care about C．count on D．escape from 13.A．model B．inspiration C．guarantee D．reminder14.A．critical B．superior C．true D．immune15.A．new B．smart C．imaginary D．right7. 阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。

But that night when my dad tried to cheer me up, my laugh turnedinto crying.So it came as no surprise to learn that researchers believe crying and laughing come from the same part of the brain. Just as laughing has many healthadvantages, scientists are discovering that so, too, does crying.Whatever it takes for us to reduce pressure is important to our emotional(情感的)health,and crying seems to study found that 85 percent of women and 73 percent of menreport feeling better after crying.Besides, tears attract help from other people. Researchers agreethat when we cry, people around us become kinder and friendly and they are moreready to provide support and comfort. Tears also enable us to understand ouremotions better; sometimes we don’t even know we’re very sad until we cry. Welearn about our emotions through crying, and then we can deal with them.Just as crying can be healthy, not crying---holding back tears of anger, pain or suffering---can be bad for physical(身体的)health, studies have shown thattoo much control of emotions can lead to high blood pressure, heart problems and some other illnesses. If you have a health problem, tors will certainly not ask you to cry. But when you feel like crying, don’t fight it. It’s anatural---and healthy---emotional response(反应).56. Why didn’t the author cry when hergrandmother died?A.Because her father did not wanther to feel too sad.B.Because she did not love hergrandmother.C.Because she was too shy to cryat that time.D.The author doesn’t give thee_planation.57.

To be human is to think. But thinking may come naturally without yourknowing how you do it. Thinking about thinking is the key to critical(判断性的)thinking. When you thinkcritically, you take control of your thinking processes (过程). Otherwise,you might becontrolled by the ideas of others. Indeed, critical thinking is at the heart ofeducation.The word 〝critical〞 here has a special meaning. It does not mean taking one view against another view, as when someone criticizes another person fordoing something wrong. The nature of critical thinking is thinking beyond theeasily seen---beyond the pictures on TV, the untrue reports in the newspapers,and the faulty reasoning.Critical thinking is an attitude as much as an activity. If you are curious about life and desire to dig deeper into it, you are a critical thinker. If you find pleasure in deep thinking about different ideas, characters, and facts, you are a critical thinker.Activities of the mind and higher-order reasoning are processes of deep and careful consideration. They take time, and do not go hand in hand with thefast speed in today’s world: fast foods, instant coffee, andself-developingfilm. If you are among the people who believe that speed is a measure ofintelligence(智力), you maylearn something new from a story about Albert Einstein. The first time Banesh Hoffman, a scientist, was to discuss his work with Albert Einstein, Hoffman was too nervous to speak. But Einstein immediately put Hoffman at easeby saying, 〝Please go slowly. I don’t understand things quickly.〞64. Critical thinking is important to usbecause if we do not think critically, .A.it will be hard for us to thinknaturally and fastB.we might be controlled by otherpeople’s ideasC.we will follow the ideas ofothers naturallyD.we might be fooled by otherpeople’s ideas65. If you are a critical thinker, you will.A.think deeply about differentideas B.trust the reports in the newspapersC. take one viewagainst another view D.criticize other people for their mistakes66. In the last paragraph, 〝something new〞suggests that .A.the smarter you are, the fasteryou do thingsB.the faster you do things, thesmarter you becomeC.speed can improve intelligenceD.intelligence is not decided byspeed67.

Reading: (16%)(A)It was a cold winter day. A woman drove up to the Rainbow Bridge tollbooth (收费站). “I’m paying for myself, and for the six car s behind me,” she said with a smile, handing over seven tickets. One after another, the next six drivers arrivi ng at the tollbooth were informed, “Some lady up ahead already paid your fare.”It turned out that the woman, Natalie Smith, had read something on a friend’s refrigerator: “Practice random kindness and senseless acts of beauty.” The phrase impressed her so much that she copied it down.Judy Foreman spotted the same phrase on a warehouse wall far away from home. When it stayed on her mind for days, she gave up and drove all the way back to copy it down. “I thought it was beautiful,” she said, explaining why she’d taken to writing it at the bottom of all her letters, “like a message from above.” Her husband, Frank, liked the phrase so much that he put it up on the classroom wall for his students, one of whom was the daughter of Alice Johnson, a local news rep orter. Alice put it in the newspaper, admitting that though she liked it, she didn’t know where it came from or what it really meant.Two days later, Alice got a call from Anne Herbert, a woman living in Marin. It was in a restaurant that Anne wrote the phrase down on a piece of paper, after turning it around in her mind for days.“Here’s the idea,” Anne says. “Anything you think there should be more of, do it randomly.” Her fantasies include painting the classrooms of shabby schools, leaving hot meals on kitchentables in the poor part of town, and giving money secretly to a proud old lady. Anne says, “Kindness can build on itself as much as violence can.”The acts of random kindness spread. If you were one of those drivers who found your fare paid, who knows what you might have been inspired to do for someone else later. Like all great events, kindness begins slowly, with every single act. Let it be yours!60. Why did Natalie Smith pay for the six cars behind her?A. She knew the car drivers well.B. She wanted to show kindness.C. She hoped to please others.D. She had seven tickets.61. Who came up with the phrase according to the passage?A. Judy Foreman.B. Natalie Smith.C. Alice Johnson.D.

People should practice random kindness to those in need.B. People who receive kindness are likely to offer it to others.C. People should practice random kindness to strangers they meet.D. People who receive kindness are likely to pay it back to the giver.(B)appointments per week maximum. This service is free.TransportationThe TWU Express is a shuttle() service.

But this week, she achieved the unthinkable. With her partner Maxime Deschamps, the 40-year-old former retiree defeated athletes less than half her age and became the oldest woman to win a World Figure Skating Championship. Even more remarkable, she did it in the pairs event, in which the top women are thrown across the ice, lifted over their partners’ heads with one arm, and tossed(抛)more than 10 feet in the air.Stellato-Dudek had an impressive junior career as a singles skater, winning the 1999 — 2000 International Junior Grand Prix Final and receiving the silver me dal at the 2000 World Junior Championships.However, by 2001, a few significant injuries led to her decision to retire at age 17. For the next 16 years, Stellato-Dudek lived a relatively normal adulthood. She became a successful aesthetician(美学家)and got married. She was no longer attempting risky triple(转体三周的)jumps on international ice.But the feelings of unfinished business kept disturbing her — whether she had quit the sport too early and whether she had more to achieve in skating. So she tried on her old skates and attempted the impossible — learning how to become a pairs skater in her 30s and returning to competitive ice.Her efforts paid off, and now Stellato-Dudek and her partner are unlikely world champions at ages 40 and 32. Stellato-Dudek said she hoped the historic victory inspired everyone, even non-skaters, who might think it was too late to pursue and achieve their goals. “I hope it encourages people not to stop before they reach their potential,” she told reporters after winning the title Thursday night.Stellato-Dudek is not done. Her next major goal is to compete in the 2026 Winter Olympics at age 42.”She is a fighter,” her partner said. “For her, it’s the Olympics every day.”4．What do we know about Stellato-Dudek from paragraph 1?A．She entered the competition alone.B．She was younger than her competitors.C．She won the championship in pairs skating.D．She returned to skating because she lost her job.5．What does paragraph 2 mainly tell us about Stellato-Dudek?A．Her career plans.B．Her past achievements.C．The challenges she met.D．The training she went through.6．What did Stellato-Dudek do after her retirement?A．She got married.B．She worked as a coach.C．She threw away her old skates.D．She kept trying risky triple jumps. 7．Which word can best describe Stellato-Dudek?A．Wise.B．Kind-hearted.C．Humorous.D．Determined.Scientists flew over more than 200 landfills across 18 states from 2018 to 2022, claiming it to be the largest measurement-based survey of America’s landfills. Their results revealed that average methane emissions (排放) were much higher than those officially reported, according to a new study published in the journal Science.Methane — an invisible gas with over 80 times more warming power than CO2 in the near term — is produced by various sources, the biggest of which are oil, gas and agriculture. Landfills tend to be a less well-known methane source, but they also have a huge impact, estimated at around 20% of global human-caused methane emissions. Landfills produce methane when organic wastes such as foods, paper and wood decompose without oxygen, creating the perfect environment for methane-producing bacteria.Most landfills in the US are required to measure methane emissions four times a year through walking surveys using handheld sensors. However, those types of measurements are really not designed to do anything about emissions, but rather just detect methane “hotspots”, as people tend to avoid areas that are unsafe to walk through, and where garbage is actively being dumped.The results of the new study show current reporting systems, such as the EnvironmentalProtection Agency’s Greenhouse Gas Reporting Program (GHGRP), are missing large methane sources. Average methane emission rates from landfills were 1.4 times higher than those being reported to the GHGRP. The study also found landfill methane emissions were generally much more persistent (挥发慢的) than those from oil and gas production, with 60% lasting for multiple months or even years.The rapid reduction of methane is one of the most effective ways to slow climate change because of its powerful short-term planet-heating impact. Yet most methane policies in the US target the oil and gas industry. “If we’re going to hit our climate targets, reductions in methane emissions can’t come from oil and gas alone,” said Daniel Cusworth, lead author of the report. 8．What can be learned about methane from paragraph 2?A．It is a colored gas.B．It is mostly produced in landfills.C．It has less warming power than CO2.D．It can be produced from a variety of sources.9．Why does the author mention “hotspots” in paragraph 3?A．To show walking surveys are not necessarily reliable.B．To discuss advantages and disadvantages of handheld sensors.C．To stress the value of measuring methane emissions in landfills.D．To explain what workers at most landfills do in the United States.10．Which statement will Daniel Cusworth probably agree with?A．It is impossible to slow climate change in the short term.B．Methane emissions from landfills should be taken seriously.C．Little impact is made by methane emissions from the oil industry.D．The US government should not limit the development of agriculture.11．Where is the text most probably taken from?A．A review of modern landfills.B．A guidebook to cooking food.C．An introduction to a gas industry.D．An article on environmental protection.Theo works on weekdays and weekends and at nights. It never complains despite performing hour upon hour of what, for a regular farm hand, would be backbreaking laborchecking Dutch tulip (郁金香) fields for sick flowers.The boxy robot — named after a retired employee at the WAM Pennings farm near the Dutch North Sea coast — is a new high-tech weapon in the battle to root out disease from the tulip fields.On a windy spring morning, the robot moved slowly along rows of yellow and red tulips, checking each plant and, when necessary, killing diseased bulbs (球茎) to prevent the spread of the tulip-breaking virus. The dead bulbs are removed from healthy ones in a sorting warehouse after they have been harvested.The virus stunts growth and development of plants, leading to smaller and weaker flowers. It also weakens the bulbs themselves, eventually leaving them unable to flower. As part of efforts to tackle the virus, there are 45 robots working in the tulip fields across the Netherlands as the weather warms up and farmers approach peak season when their bulbs bloom (开花) into giant patchworks of color that draws tourists from around the world.The robot is a lot slower than a sports car, rolling through fields at one kilometer per hour (0.6 mph) hunting out the infected flowers. It has cameras in the front, and it takes thousands of pictures of the tulips. Then it will determine if the tulip is sick or not by its AI (artificial intelligence) model. The robot has learned to recognize this and to treat it.“In the past, this was work carried out by human ‘sickness spotters’,” said Allan Visser, a third-generation tulip farmer. “I could also buy a very nice sports car for the price of the robot. But I prefer to have the robot because a sports car doesn’t take out the sick tulips from our field. It is expensive, but there are fewer and fewer people who can really see the sick tulips.”12．What is mainly described in paragraph 3?A．The spread of the virus in tulips.B．Farmers working at the warehouse.C．The scene where the robot Theo works.D．Robots that help patients fight diseases.13．What does the underlined word “stunts” in paragraph 4 probably mean?A．Prevents.B．Sees.C．Predicts.D．Promotes.14．What is Allan Visser’s attitude toward the robot Theo?A．Doubtful.B．Positive.C．Unconcerned.D．Unclear.15．What is the best title for the text?A．How to Plant and Care for TulipsB．Artificial Intelligence Is Developing RapidlyC．Al Robots Help Find Sick Tulips in NetherlandsD．Types of Robots and Industry Applications of Robotics TechnologyRemind yourself that no friend is better than a bad friend. If you’re unsure whether your friend is really a true friend or not, the following tips can help you.Spend some time with your friend. If your friend makes the time, that’s a good sign.16 , just as long as your friend makes time to get together when it’s appropriate, such as on a weekend and during vacation time. If your friend doesn’t want to make the time or comes up with a lot of excuses every time you try, then you will have a warning sign that he or she is not interested in being around you much.17 . If your friend does come, is he or she being friendly with you or is he or she ignoring you, just eating the cake and leaving early? Since you are the host or the center of attention when it’s at your place, a good friend should be spending time talking to you and being friendly. 18 .Think about how you feel when you talk around your friend. A true friend is someone who won’t judge you. You don’t have to be careful about what you say when you’re around the right person. 19 . Anything less is not true friendship.Consider what happens when you’re in need. 20 . And you will lose the false friends when you experience hardships and difficulties. In fact, those fair-weather friends are not worth your time or effort.A．A trustworthy friend won’t lie to youB．A good friend is someone willing to share your sadnessC．Sometimes your friend may be really busy and that’s fineD．Invite your friend to a party or special occasion at your placeE．A true friend is someone who gives you the freedom to be yourselfF．Observe how your friend is when he or she doesn’t notice you’re aroundG．But a bad friend will only use the occasion to get what he or she wants out of it二、完形填空One weekend, Molly McCollum and her four friends wandered off their campus.

It was dangerous, back-breaking work that paid very little. In the year I had worked there only four other people hadn't quit and been replaced with new faces. Those of us who stayed did so only because there was no other work to find to support our families.On this day the fans weren't working and all of us were covered in sweat and sawdust. When I looked around every face I saw looked angry and frustrated. Suddenly,a voice called out:“Hey! There's a deer in here.” A lost little doe had wandered through the open loading bay doors and was now cowering(蜷缩）in between the huge stacks of wood. All of us stopped working and went looking for her as she ran about looking for a way out.Now most people where I live hunt deer for meat in the fall, but also treat them with great kindness the rest of the year. Many will even buy 50lb bags of corn to help feed them during the harsh winter months. It was no surprise then that all of us were soon quickly working together to free this little doe. By blocking off all the other routes we were able to guide her panic search back to the open bay doors. We watched as she jumped out of the building and back into the woods. Then we walked back in to work. I noticed something, though. On every face there was a joyful smile. It was as if this one single act of kindness had energized us again and reminded us of what life is all about.1. Why were few people willing to work in the wood mill?A．They wanted more freedom.B．They didn't like the boss.C．The pay and conditions were bad.D．They wanted more pleasure.2. What can be inferred from paragraph 2?A．The workers often saw a deer there.B．The deer was a light to the dull work.C．The deer was trapped in a big well.D．All the workers wanted to catch the deer.3. How did the men free the deer in the end?A．By opening one route.B．By dropping some food.C．By using familiar signals.D．By imitating another deer.4. Which of the following best describes the workers?A．Bad-tempered but patient.B．Hard-working and loving.C．Cautious and courageous.D．Bad-tempered and demanding.3. People who have kids live longer than those who remain childless, an academic study has suggested. Researchers believe it is because adults’ immune systems are “refreshed” when kids go to nursery and start picking up infections.During the course of someone’s life, their immune system can become weaker. But when kids start bringing infections home, their parents’ immune systems get a workout. Non-parents — unless they are teachers or nurses perhaps — do not get the same exposure to infection.Writing in the journal Scientific Reports, Miguel Portela said parents had less risk of dying from infection than non-parents and if they did, it was about five years later. He said that “a parent’s immune system is refreshed by a child’s infections at a time when their own protection starts wearing thin.” He added, “With this improved immune system, the parent has a better chance to defend whatever infections that might strike when old and weak and parenthood is rewarded in individual terms through an improved immunization against infe ctions.” Naturally there are other reasons why some people live longer than others, but they may not be comparable with becoming a parent. The academics say that high income and house ownership are always associated with higher survival but less so than having children.Mr. Portela admits the research is far from complete, saying that while the results “record a relationship between the presence of children and death rate, the specific transmission mechanisms remain unclear. He acknowledges the presence of other, perhaps behavioral factors in parents which result in changed death rate compared to individuals without children.” He adds, “While the relationships of lifestyle choices such as smoking, obesity, drinking and other behavioral factors with life expectancy and causes of death are well studied and understood, the same cannot be said for the individual decision to become a parent”.1. Why did Mr. Portela say “parents had less risk of dying from infection than non-parents”?A．Parents have healthier lifestyles.B．Parents have less exposure to infection.C．Parents have higher ability to fight against infections.D．Parents have less experience to fight against infections.2. How are parents protected against infections?A．By being exposed to their kids’ infection. B．By working out with their kids.C．By refreshing their kids’ life.D．By strengthening their kids’ infection.3. What can we infer from the research?A．Rich life benefits parents more than having children.B．Lack of sleep has nothing to do with life expectancy.C．The presence of children can improve parents’ healthD．Behavioral factors contribute to higher death rate than having no children.4. What’s the best title for the passage?A．Parents and Non-parents B．How to Achieve Longer Life Expectancy?C．How Is Parents’ Immune Systems Changed? D．Children’s Effect on Parents’ Immune System4. Not long ago, no one understood that infectious diseases were caused by tiny organisms that moved from person to person. Even now, although we know that tiny living microbes cause disease, how they do so is not always obvious. 1 They can also be transmitted through our skin through insect or animal bites. The best way to prevent infections is to block pathogens(病菌)from entering the body.The first line of defense is to keep germs at bay by following good personal health habits. Wash your hands well. You probably wash your hands after using the bathroom, before preparing or eating food, and after gardening or other dirty tasks. 2 Wet your hands thoroughly. Lather(泡沫)up with soap or cleanser, and rub it into the palms and backs of your hands and your wrists. Be sure to clean your fingertips, under your nails and between your fingers. Wash under running water. 3Whether you are young or young at heart, getting vaccinated(接种疫苗)is an essential part of staying healthy. 4 such as a temporarily sore arm or low fever, they are generally safe and effective. Vaccinations are essential if you are to avoid getting sick. In general, children should receive the recommended childhood vaccinations. Adults should make sure their vaccinations are up to date. When traveling abroad, check with your health care provider about additional immunizations(免疫).5 Stay clear of wild animals. Many wild animals, including bats, foxes and coyotes, can spread the virus to humans by biting. Keep your pets away from wild animals, too. Dogs, cats or any other type of warm-blooded animal can pick up the virus and pass the virus along to people.5. In high school Norman Greenstein was a productive doodler (涂鸦手), and created lots of paintings. When he ________ his works to his teach er, the teacher responded, “The problem with modern art is that you can ________ on a canvas (画布) and call it art.” Norman felt so disappointed, but he ________ parted with art over the years.After his ________, Norman spared no efforts to ________ his wife and three children with devotion.

Perhaps the best way 2 (understand) Western art is to look at the development of Western painting over the centuries. During the Middle Ages, artists were not interested in 3 (paint) realistic scenes. This began to change in the 13th centurywith Giotto di Bondone, whose paintings 4 (show) real people in a real environment. Next camethe Renaissance, when new ideas and values gradually replaced old 5 (one) from the Middle Ages. Painters adopted a 6 (humanistic) attitude to life, using perspective and oil paints. The emphasis 7 (increasing) shifted from religious themes to people and the world around us. After the invention of photography, paintings were no longer needed 8 (preserve) what people and the world looked like. As a result, Impressionism emerged in France. The name of this new movement came from 9 painting by Claude Monet called Impression, Sunrise. In this work, Monet’s aim was to convey the light and movement in the scene. Picasso, one of the painters of Modern Art, tried to analyse the shapes 10 existed in the natural world but in a new way,with Cubism.7. 火车抵达后，她们乘坐出租车来到路易斯湖，那里湛蓝的湖水异常美丽，令她们惊叹不已。

My parents divorced and I movedto a new townwith my father, far from my old family and friends. I was terribly lonely andwould cry myself to sleep each night. To ease my sadness, my father purchasedan old horse for me at a local auction. I named him Cowboy.Cowboy wasundoubtedly the ugliest horse in the world. But I didn’t care.I loved himbeyond all reason.I joined ariding club and suffered rude comments and mean snickers about Cowboy’s looks.I never let out about how I felt, but deep inside, my heart was breaking. Theother members rode beautiful, registered horses.WhenCowboy and I entered the events where the horse is judged on appearance, wewere quickly shown the gate. No amount of preparation and love wouldturn Cowboy into a beauty. My only chance to compete would be in the speedevents. I chose the jumping race.One girlnamed Becky rode a big brown horse in the race events. She always won the blueribbons. Needless to say, she didn’t feel threatened when I competed againsther at the next show. She didn’t need to. I came in next to last.Thestinging memory of Becky’s smirks made me determined to beat her. For the whole next month I woke upearly every day and rode Cowboy five miles to the arena. We practiced running and jumping for hours in the hot sun andthen I would walk Cowboy home totally exhausted.All of ourhard work didn’t make me feel confident by the time the show came.

And, althoughthe review didn’t look at longterm effects of such programmes, the findings suggest that suchprogrammes might help children develop longlastinghealthy habits.This researchcomes at a time when childhood obesity rates have been rising rapidly. Morethan onethirdof adolescents in the United States were obese in2012, according to the US Centres for Disease Control and Prevention .This trend has been caused, at least in part, by a significant decrease in theamount of meals that people consume at home since the 1980s, according tobackground information in the study.Cookingeducation programmes, such as Food Explorers, teach children about new healthyfoods and how to prepare them. They also stress the importance of eating fivefruits and vegetables every day. A volunteer parent explains a new food to thegroup, and the kids make something based on the lesson, such as fruit orvegetable salad. Depending on the programme, kids may be sent home withinformation about healthy foods to bring to their parents, the reviewexplained.The studyteam reviewed eight other studies that tested different types ofcookingeducation programmes. Children in these classes were between 5 and 12 yearsold, according to the review. The goal of the study team was to learn moreabout developing an efficient programme to encourage healthy food choices thatlast a lifetime. The study found that it is particularly important to exposekids to healthy foods on a number of occasions. This makes them feelcomfortable with the new foods, which helps them build healthy habits.The studystressed the importance of getting parents involved in their children’s eating habits.Parents who are unable to enroll their kids in a cooking class can achievesimilar benefits by having their kids help them while they prepare meals athome. Children are more comfortable at home, which makes them more receptive tonew foods because they will make the connection to a positive experience.（1）What can we infer from the second paragraph?A . Childhood obesity is totally caused by eating habits.B . Eating out frequently causes obesity.C . Childhood obesity rates have been rising rapidly since 2012.D . Food consumption has decreased significantly since the 1980s.（2）Which of the following is TRUE according to the study?A . Parents should let their kids cook independently at home.B .

Children who take cooking courses are more likely to choose fruits and vegetables asadults.（3）Which of the following does this passage belong to?A . Education Systems.B . Public Health Research.C . Parentchild Relationship.D . Science and Technology.（4）The purpose of the passage is________.A . to inform the readersB . to entertain the readersC . to discuss with the readersD . to warn the readers4. 阅读理解“Clothes Swapping”has become an increasingly popular activit yfor women in the United States. The women can give away unwanted clothing at aclothes swap event and get something different in return.Recentlyabout 300 women went to a clothes swap at a high school in Springfield,Virginia. It was the largest crowd ever for the area’s popular clothesswapping group.DaphneSteinberg was having a good day.”For anyone who knows Ann Taylor LOFT, AnnTaylor is a really nice women’s designer and I will totally wear this to work.So I love that I can equip myself for work, have a good time in doing it, andnot totally bankrupt myself.”Sandy VanDusen likes the idea that clothes are finding new homes instead of being thrownaway, because it helps to keep the Earth green.”In my opinion, there’s nopoint in continuing to buy new cloth es when we can reuse what’s already here.Give it a new home—let somebody else love what you used to love and no longer love.”Kim Prattorganized the clothesswapping event in Springfield. She also organized a moneyraising activity for the high school’s d ebate team.It is oneof severalways that her group gives to charitable causes. Another is by donating all ofthe “unswapped” clothing to shelters for victims of domesticviolence.“Istarted doing this four years ago, and we’ve been doing it for four years, andit’s getting bigger and bigger each time we have a swap.”She usedthe social media website to help publicize the events. The websitehas helped her group grow from 30 members to 1,300. Mrs. Pratt says most of themembers respect the clothing swap rules. But she says competition for desirablefashion can be strong.“Wehave to tell people sometimes not to hover over the new people coming in withtheir clothing. As they put it out, some people tend to grab the stuff rightout of their hands and it b ecomes like a freeforall. We try to avoid thatas much as possible. “（1）At a clothes swap women can ________.A . make some money by giving away unwanted clothingB . buy whatever clothing they likeC . have a social gathering and make friendsD . exchange unwanted clothing for something different（2）What is Paragraph 5 mainly about?A .

For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)A four-year-old girl is lying in the arms of a doctor. She has just become motherless. Her pink clothes are bloodied and her eyes stare at something only she can see. She has suffered from a bombing near her home in southern Iraq.Every day we see images like this on our televisions. We see young Iraqi children begging for food and water from American and British soldiers as they move through towns and cities towards the capital, Baghdad. We see these children following grown-ups, carrying bags of belongings almost the same size as their small bodies as they flee their homes in Baghdad.They represent just some of the young lives that have been turned upside down by the ongoing war. And they show the terrible price being paid by Iraqi children.“Dad, why are the Americans striking us? Are we going to be killed?” asks the son of Abu Sinar, an Iraqi engineer. Abu finds it hard to explain this war to his eight-year-old son.He tries to comfort him by saying: “The bombs are far away from us. The American s are fighting the soldiers. We’re going to be all right.” Even though Abu knows this isn’t always the truth.In southern parts of the country, like Iraq’s second largest city, Basra, the United Nations International Children’s Emergency Fund is working to repair the damage caused by fighting. The organization is working to provide clean water and restore electrical power, said Geoffrey Keele, a UNICEF spokesman.But little else can be done. In Baghdad, parents give their children sleeping pills to try and let them escape the sound of exploding bombs. And all the schools are closed.“All they can do is listen to and hear the war,” said Keele. “There is suffering inBaghdad. It is clear that the bombing is affecting the mental well-being of the children.”Des pite UNICEF’s efforts, dirty water is being blamed for cholera outbreaks in southern Iraq. Diarrhea is spreading among the children, sometimes leading to death.Nearly 50 percent of Iraq’s population is under 15 years old. And 30 percent of them already suffered before the war from malnutrition, according to international aid organizations.Now the situation is worse, but continual fighting makes it impossible to count the number who are hungry, sick, injured or even dead.65．The underlined word diarrhea” in the last paragraph but two must be _______A. a kind of horrendous foodB. a kind of infectious diseaseC. a new toyD. a piece of terrible news66. Parents give their children sleeping pills _________.A. to get rid of the terrible sound of exploding bombsB. to help children to go to sleep because they are very tiredC. in case their children should be frightened by the sound of exploding bombsD. so that their children would not have their hearing harmed67. What is the writer’s attitude toward s Iraqi people in this article?A. The writer loves only the children of Iraq.B. The writer wants to know more about how many people will go hungry or even die.C.The writer shows sympathy for Iraqi people.D. The writer will help Iraqi people to get over any difficulty(B)Creativity is the key to a brighter future, say education and business experts. Here is how schools and parents can encourage this important skill in children.If Dick Drew had listened to his boss in 1925, we might not have a product that we now think of as of great importance: a new type of tape. Drew worked for the Minnesota Mining company. At work he developed a kind of material strong enough to hold things together. But his boss told him not to think more about the idea. Finally, using his own time, Drew improved the tape, which now is used everywhere by many people. And his former company learned from its mistake. Now it encourages people to spend 15 percent of their work time just thinking about and developing new ideas.Creativity is not something one is just born with, nor is it necessarily a character of high intelligence. The fact that a person highly intelligent does not mean that he uses it creatively. Creativity is the matter of using the resources one has to produce new ideas that are good for something. Unfortunately, schools have not tried to encourage creativity. With strong attention to test results and the development of reading, writing and mathematical skills, many educators give up creativity for correct answers. The result is that children can give back information but can not recognize ways to use it in new situations. They may know the rules correctly, but they are unable to use them to work out practical problems.It is important to give children choices. From the earliest age, children should be allowedto make decisions and understand their results. Even if it’s choosing between two food items for lunch, decision-making helps thinking skills. As children grow older, parents should let their children decide how to use their time or spend their money, but not help them too much if they make the wrong decision. The child may have a hard time, but that is all right. This is because the most important character of creative people is a very strong desire to find a way out of trouble.68. What did the company where Drew once worked learn from its mistake?A.They encouraged people to work a longer time.B.They discouraged people from thinking freely.C.They asked people to spend all their work time developing new ideas.D.They encouraged people to spend some of their work time considering and improvingnew ideas.69．Creativity is something __________.A.that people are born withB.that depends on intelligenceC.that is a way of using what one has learned to work out new problemsD.that is not important at all70. What should the parents do when their children decide how to spend their money?A.Try to help them as much as possible.B.Take no notice of whatever they do.C.Help them if their decision is wrong but not too much.D.Leave them as they are.71. This passage mainly deals with the question of __________.A.what is the key to a brighter futureB.what creativity isC.how schools and parents can encourage creativity in childrenD.whether schools and parents should allow children to make choices and decisions(C)Without proper planning, tourism can cause problems. For example, too many tourists can crowd public places that are also enjoyed by the inhabitants of a country. If tourists create too much traffic, the inhabitants become annoyed and unhappy. They begin to dislike tourists and to treat them impolitely. They forget how much tourism can help the country and how tourism affects them. Tourism should help a country keep the customs and beauty that attract tourists. Tourism should also advance the well-being (health and happiness) of local inhabitants.Too much tourism can be a problem. If tourism grows too quickly, people must leave other jobs to work in the tourism industry. This means that other parts of the country’s economy can suffer.On the other hand, if there is not enough tourism, people can lose jobs. Businesses canalso lose money. It costs a great deal of money to build large hotels, airports, air terminals, first-class roads, and other support facilities needed by tourist attractions. For example, a major international-class tourism hotel can cost as much as 50 thousand dollars per room to build. If this room is not used most of the time, the owners of the hotel lose money.Building a hotel is just a beginning. There must be many support facilities as well, including roads to get to the hotel, electricity, sewers (阴沟) to handle waste, and water. All of these support facilities cost money. If they are not used because there are not enough tourists, jobs and money are lost.72.Which of the following has most probably been discussed in the paragraph that goesbefore the passage?A.It is extremely important to develop tourism.B.Building roads and hotels is essential.C.Support facilities are highly necessary.D.Planning is of great importance to tourism.73.Too much tourism can cause all these problems EXCEPT ___________.A. a bad impact on other industriesB. a change of tourists’ customsC.overcrowdedness of places of interestD.pressure on traffic74. It is good for local people to be well aware that tourism will __________.e up a large amount of waterB.weaken their economyC.help establish their traditionsD.help improve their life75. The word handle in the last paragraph most probably means “__________”.A. carry awayB. pick upC. get inD. take down(D)Olaf Stapledon wrote a book called First and Last Men, in which he looked millions of years ahead. He told of different men and of strange civilizations , broken up by long ‘dark ages’ in between. In his view, what is called the present time is no more than a moment in human history and we are just the First Men. In 2,000 million years from now there will be the Eighteenth or Last Men.However, most of our ideas about the future are really very short-sighted . Perhaps we can see some possibilities for the next fifty years. But the next hundred ? The next thousand? The next million ? That’s much more difficult.When men and women lived by hunting 50,000 years ago, how could they even begin to picture modern life? Yet to men of 50,000 years from now, we may seem as primitive in our ideas as the Stone-Age hunters do to us. Perhaps they will spend their days gollocking to make new spundels, or struggling with their ballalators through the cribe. These words, which I have justmade up, have to stand for things and ideas that we simply can’t think of.So why bother even to try imagining life far in the future? Here are two reasons. First, unless we remember how short our own lives are compared with the whole human history, we are likely to think our own interests are much more important than they really are. If we make the earth a poor place to live on because we are careless or greedy or quarrelsome, our grandchildren will not bother to think of excuses for us.Second, by trying to escape from present interests and imagine life far in the future, we may arrive at quite fresh ideas that we can use ourselves. For example, if we imagine that in the future men may give up farming, we can think of trying it now. So set your imagination free when you think about the future.76. A particular mention m ade of Stapledon’s book in the opening paragraph _______.A.serves as a description of human historyB.serves as an introduction to the discussionC.shows a disagreement of viewsD.shows the popularity of the book77. The text discusses men and women 50,000 years ago and 50,000 years from now in order toshow that _______.A.human history is extremely longB.life has changed a great dealC.it is useless to plan for the next 50 yearsD.it is difficult to tell what will happen in the future78. Spundels and ballalators are used in the text to refer to ______.A.tools used in farmingB.ideas about modern lifeC.unknown things in the futureD.hunting skills in the Stone Age79. According to the writer of the text, imagining the future will _____.A.serve the interests of the present and future generationsB.enable us to better understand human historyC.help us to improve farmingD.make life worth living(E)给下面的文章配上小标题；80. ________ Crime has its own cycles, a magazine reported some years ago. Police records that were studied for five years from over 2,400 cities and towns show a surprising link between changes in the season and crime patterns.81. _______The pattern of crime has varied very little over a long period of years. Murder reaches its high during July and August, and so do other violent attacks. Murder, moreover, is more than seasonal: it is a weekend crime. It is also a nighttime crime: 62 percent ofmurders are committed between 6 p.m. and 6 a.m.82. ________Unlike the summer high in crimes of bodily harm, burglary(盗窃) has adifferent cycle. You are most likely to be robbed between 6 p.m. and 2 a.m. on a Saturday night in December, January, or February. The most uncriminal month of all? May -- except for one strange statistic. More dog bites are reported in this month than in any other month of the year.83. ________ Apparently our intellectual seasonal cycles are completely different from ourcriminal tendencies. Professor Huntington, of the Foundation for the Study of Cycles, made extensive studies to discover the seasons when people read serious books, attend scientific meetings and make the highest scores on examinations. In all instances, he founda spring peak and an autumn peak separated by a summer low. On the other hand,Professor Huntington's studies indicated that June is the peak month for suicides(自杀) and admissions to mental hospitals. June is also a peak month for marriages!84. _________ Possibly, high temperature and high humidity(湿度) bring on our strangeand terrifying summer actions, but police officials are not sure. "There is, of course, no proof of a connection between humidity and murder," they say, "Why murder’s high time should come in the summertime we really don't know."A.Patter of murderB.Intellectual seasonal cyclesC.Cycle of crimeD.Possible explanationsE.Other patters of crimeF.Ways to avoid crime第二卷（共45分）I.Translations1．他有可能来参加下周举行的晚会吗？( chance )2．正是由于他未能在恰当的时候澄清这一误会他该受到责备。

But Takamasa Hoshiyama, 17, says the reality of rugby is very different from what it looks like.“Whatever your size or speed, anyone can play rugby,” says the Island School student, who also plays on the U19 Hong Kong rugby team.Taka has been playing rugby since he was just four years old, following in the footsteps of his father. “My dad played rugby and he was keen (渴望的) for me to play,” says Taka. A lot has happened to Taka since his first game with his father. In the 2014 New Year's Daygame against the Overseas Barbarians, he was named Man of the Match, and has taken the role of captain in his club team.And of course, he's grown throughout his years of playing rugby — in more ways than one. “When I started playing, I was scrum-half (争球前卫), usually the smallest guy on the field,” says Taka. “But as I grew, I changed position. Now I am a front row prop— one of the big guys that holds the scrum together.”“Rugby has done a lot for me,” he says. “It has really made me focused, and that is thanks to my coaches as well as my teammates who brought me to where I am now.”Taka says that being part of a team and experiencing that growth together is one of the best parts of the sport. “Rugby creates a unity within the team and helps develop a mutual (相互的) respect between other teams and players,” he explains. “Training is hard and matches are physically demanding, but it is a team sport and you have to do your job for the team.”Now Taka wants to help others experience the same growth he has. In his free time, he coaches younger rugby teams. He says it is especially rewarding to find “unusual strengths and capabilities within players and encourage them to work on those.”5. What does Taka think of rugby?A. It requires fast speed.B. It has a role for everyone.C. It's a game full of violence.D. It's too competitive for kids.6. What has happened to Taka since he started playing rugby?A. He has realized what his father never could.B. He has built up both his physical and mental strength.C. He has played for the Overseas Barbarians for three years.D. He has taken the role of captain in the Hong Kong rugby team.7. According to Taka, what serves the most important role in playing rugby?A. Having a high level of physical fitness.B. Owning some unusual strengths.C. Building a strong team spirit.D. Having a fun-loving attitude.8. What's Taka hoping to do now?A. To coach national rugby teams.B. To become a professional rugby player.C. To get the leading role in his club team.D. To encourage more people to enjoy rugby.3.（12分）[C]Recent studies have shown that challenging your brain, by spurring (刺激) the brain to create new patterns, is very important to keep your brain active and healthy as you age. Lifelong learning is a health club for our minds, bodies and spirits. This is why we parents should also teach our children to be lifelong learners. Dr. Marilyn Price-Mitchell, an American psychologist, and youth development expert, shares some ways for us to do this.1. Ask questions.When your child asks you a question, don't answer it straight away. Instead, help him or her bring up “questions that pique their curiosity.” This way, we help children make connections between what they're learning at school and the world beyond their classroom. We also show them that learning does not, and should not, end when one is “done with school” — it's actually a lifelong process!2. Let them fail.Our kids love learning about different scientific concepts (概念) via The Magic School Bus videos on YouTube. And one of the characters, Miss Frizzle (the science teacher) always says this phrase: “Take chances, make mistakes, and get messy.” I always quote (引述) her when the kids say they're afraid to do or learn something because they might do it wrong or make a mistake. If we don't allow our kids to fail, they won't be able to learn to“use mistakes and failures to make lifelong learning easier,” as Dr. Price-Mitchell says.3. Learn through experience.This is very true for all of us, especially children. In the words of Dr. Price-Mitchell, “Learning through experience, not just from books, is one of the best ways to give the youth the skills they need for lifelong learning, living, and working in the 21st century.”Of course, we should also set an example for our children — by learning continuously, and expanding our knowledge and experiences.9. What does the underlined word “pique” in the text probably mean?A. Change.B. Awaken.C. Balance.D. Prevent.10. What's the author's attitude to what Miss Frizzle always says?A. Worried.B. Doubtful.C. Uncaring.D. Supportive.11. Which of the following shows the importance of learning through experience?A. Learning is not child's play; we cannot learn without pain.B. It is not that I'm so smart. But I stay with the questions much longer.C. If you don't learn to think when you are young, you may never learn.D. Tell me and I forget, teach me and I may remember, involve me and I learn.12. In which part of a newspaper will the text most probably appear?A. Health.B. Culture.C. Education.D. Popular science.4.（9分）[D]Dressing against the cold is hard when you're a 6,000-pound elephant. But thanks to some generous knitters (编织者) in Mathura, India, a group of elephants have giant handmade sweaters to help them stay warm during the cold winter. When worn with their bright red leg coverings, their new outfits look like comfortable nightclothes for them!The huge sweaters were made for elephants at the Wildlife SOS Elephant Conservation and Care Center. It takes care of 20 blind, lame, or injured elephants. They were saved from abuse (虐待). Some lived in circuses, some were bought and sold illegally, and some were not receiving enough care. In India, elephants are sometimes kept in crowded inner cities and used in street performances or for begging. This causes physical and emotional harm to the wild animals. Wildlife SOS provides food, care, and medical attention to those animals.Because most of the elephants housed at the center are recovering from injuries or are elderly, “it is important to keep our elephants protected from the bitter cold during this extreme winter,” explains Kartick Satyanarayan, the co-founder and CEO of Wildlife SOS. “They are weak and vulnerable (脆弱的), having suffered so much abuse, making it easy for them to catch diseases such as pneumonia (lung infection). The cold also worsens their arthritis (关节炎), which is a common issue that our saved elephants ha ve to deal with.”At first, Wildlife SOS made giant jackets out of tarp (防水帆布) for the elephants to wear. Then they asked people in nearby villages to help out by making colorful knitted sweaters. Knitting the sweaters is a big undertaking. Each one takes about four weeks tocreate, with volunteers working together on the very large sweaters. Wildlife SOS hopes to save 50 more elephants this year — which means there could be a lot more knitting to do!13. What can we learn about the knitted sweaters for elephants?A. They are made of tarp.B. They are all in bright red.C. They are made entirely by hand.D. They are designed for the elderly.14. What do the 20 elephants who dress in huge sweaters have in common?A. They are all good at street performances.B. They all weigh over 6,000 pounds.C. They were all found in the wild.D. They were all badly treated.15. What does Kartick Satyanarayan mainly explain?A. The current situation of elephants in India.B. The possibility of better protecting elephants.C. The necessity of making sweaters for elephants.D. The reason why Wildlife SOS rescues elephants.二、阅读七选五（本题共计1小题，总分15分）5.（15分）Tips to stay safe and make smart choicesEven if you're a genius at school, you still might be lost when it comes to getting from point A to point B. Don't get caught in a strange place without these basic safety tips.★Know where you’re going.Before you set out in an unfamiliar area, go to Google Maps to plan your journey and print it out. 16 Make sure that the location services are turned on on your phone, just in case you get lost.★Know where your stuff is.Never leave your backpack or shopping bags out of your sight. Carry your wallet in your front pocket or keep it close to your body. 17 A fun day out can turn into the worst headache ever if you realize you've left something behind.★ 18If you have the choice between a busy street and a deserted one, always pick the busy one. You are more likely to be attacked on dark, empty sidewalks than on ones with a crowd.★Travel in packs.Don't go anywhere — especially an unfamiliar place — without a friend or two. 19★Don’t let your music drown you out.There's nothing wrong with listening to your iPod as you walk around town, but keep it at a low enough volume (音量) so you can still hear passing cars.

AIf you're looking to fully experience Africa’s breathtaking scenery, and have an eye for adventure, then there's only one place to be. Here, inside Africa picks four of the best hikes from across the continent.1.KilimanjaroMake it to the top of Tanzania's 5,895-meter Kilimanjaro, and you'll be standing at Africa’s highest point. The mountain is Africa's most-visited hiking destination, attracting tens of thousands of tourists and adventures every year.You don’t have to a technical climber to climb Mount Kilimanjaro; you just need not be pretty physically fit. There are six routes to choose from difficulty, scenery and success. No special equipment2. Atlas mountainsThe High Atlas is an impressive mountainous range in central Morocco that hosts North Africa's highest peak. Mount Toubkal, at 4,165 meters. There's a variety of routes to follow during your climb but inexperienced climbers should note that the hike through the mountain’s challenging zones is quite demanding.3. Mount KenyaA long-extinct volcano. Mount Kenya is Africa's second-highest peak, at 5,199 meters.Lying just south of the equator, the mountain's deep valleys and diverse wildlife will guarantee you wonderful scenery and a fantastic hiking experience.The climb, however, to the mountain's steep ice-capped peaks is quite challenging, making it the most technical, probably, in that East African area.4. Mount MeruMount Meru may forever exist in the shadow of its neighbor, Kilimanjaro，but Tanzania ’s second-highest mountain (4,565 meters) has its own devotees.It's less known, but Mount Meru is for the true enthusiast who wants toexperience what very few people actually do.Mount Meru is often used by mountaineers to adapt themselves before trying to conquer Kilimanjaro, or by those wanting a hike with the local Massai.21. What do we know about Kilimanjaro?A. It's comparatively easy to climb.B. It's Africa's second highest mountainC. Its six routes are equally difficult.D. It lies to the east of Tanzania.22.Why do mountaineers climb Mount Meru first before they do Kilimanjaro?A. To avoid big crowds of climbers.B. To hike with the local Massai.C. To get used to the situation.D. To experience what most people do.23.Which is the lowest of the four?A. Kilimanjaro.B. Atlas mountains.C. Mount Kenya.D. Mount MeruBWhen the dog named Judy spotted the first sheep in her life, she did what comes naturally. The four-year-old dog set off racing after the sheep across several fields and, being a city animal, lost both her sheep and her sense of direction. Then she ran along the edge of cliff( 悬崖) and fell 100 feet, bouncing off a rock into the sea.Her owner Mike Holden panicked and called the coastguard of Cornwall, who turned up in seconds. Six volunteers slid down the cliff with the help of a rope but gave up all hope of finding her alive after a 90-minute search.Three days later, a hurricane hit the coast near Cornwall. Mr. Holden returned home from his holiday upset and convinced his pet was dead. He comforted himself with the thought she had died in the most beautiful part of the country.For the next two weeks, the Holdens were heartbroken. Then, one day, the phone rang and Steve Tregear, the coastguard of Cornwall, asked Holder if he would like his dog bark.A birdwatcher, armed with a telescope, found the pet sitting desperately on a rock. While he sounded the alarm, a student from Leeds climbed down the cliff to collect Judy.The dog had initially been knocked unconscious(失去知觉的)but had survived by drinking water from a fresh scream at the base of the cliff. She may have fed on the body of a sheep which ha d also fallen over the edge. “The dog was very thin and hungry,” Steve Tregear said, “It was a very dog. She survived because of a plentifulsupply of fresh water,” he added.It was, as Mr. Holden admitted, “a minor miracle(奇迹)”.24.The dog Jody fell down the cliff when she was _____________A. rescuing her ownerB. caught in a hurricaneC. blocked by a rockD. running after a sheep25. Who spotted Judy after the accident?A. A birdwatcherB. A student from LeedsC. Six volunteersD. The coastguard of Cornwall26. What can we infer from the text?A. People like to travel with their pets.B. Judy was taken to the fields for hunting.C. Luck plays a vital role in Judy's survival.D. Holden cared little where Judy was buried.27. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A. Miracle of the Coastguard.B. Surviving a Hurricane.C. Dangers in the WildD. Coming Back from the Dead.CBeing highly successful in any field is pretty rare. It takes a combination of natural talent, luck, determination, and plenty of outside support for someone to make it big in sports, entertainment, or business. But what if competing is all that matters to you, whether you are likely to succeed or not? This was the goal of Michael Eddie the Eagle Edwards, and that he reached that goal was an amazing achievement.Born in the U.K. in 1963, Michael was an enthusiastic downhill skier whose dream was to compete for Britain in world-class competitions. He would have liked to represent his country in the 1984 Winter Olympics, but there were a large number of downhill competitors, and Edwards didn't qualify. Seeing his chance elsewhere, he switched to ski jumping. Ski jumping didn't cost nearly as much, and there was almost no competition for a place on the Britain team.But a number of hurdles (障碍)could have meant the end of Edwards' dream. He weighed more than most competitors, which put him at a disadvantage. He had no financial support for his training. Poor eyesight meant that he had to wear glassesunder his goggles (护目镜）- not a good thing when they steamed up at high altitudes. But he couldn't let any of this discourage him. He saw himself as a true lover of the sport who simply wanted the chance to compete. Winning wasn't the point. Having the opportunity to try was all he cared about. And nothing could stop him from trying.In the end, Edwards took 55th place in the 1987 World Championships. He then went on to the Calgary Olympics in 1988, where he finished last in both of his events. Many athletes would have been embarrassed by this result, but he is proud of his achievement to this day. His determination to fight against all the odds made him a global hero, and in 2016, the inspiring film Eddie the Eagle was made about his life.28. What is the purpose of the first paragraph?A. To add some background information.B. To uncover the secret of success.C. To expect an answer from readers.D. To introduce the topic.29. Why did Michael Edwards choose ski jumping?A. It took less skill.B. The equipment was cheaper.C. There was little competition.D. It was easy to win the championship.30. After the Calgary Olympics, Edwards _________A. felt he had reached his goalB. was embarrassed by his resultsC. switched to film makingD. was glad it was over31. What made Michael Edwards outstanding?A. His determination to win.B. His enthusiasm for the sport.C. His attitude towards the Olympics.D. His ability to overcome physical disabilities.DSlowly but surely, we’re moving closer and closer to 5G world. From smart-home security to self-driving cars, all the internet-connected devices in our life will be able to talk to each other at lighting-fast speeds with reduced delay. Objectively speaking, the fastest 4G download speeds in the US top out at an average of 19.42Mbps. But by comparison 5G promises gigabit (千兆) speeds.“5G is one of those heralds (使者), along with artificial intelligence, of thiscoming data age,” s aid Steve Koenig , senior director of market research for the Consumer Technology Association. “The self-driving vehicle is a great emblem of this data age, and that is to say, it is a sign of time, because with one single task, driving, you have massive amounts of coming from the vehicle itself, and a variety of sensors are collecting a lost of information to model its environments as it moves. It’s pulling in date from other vehicles about road conditions down the lane. It could be weather information, and also connected infrastructure (基础设施) constructors. There’s lots of data behind that task, which is why we need the high speed.And virtual reality glasses and headsets haven’t yet broken the mainstream, but tech companies are joyfully betting that these devices will eventually replace our smartphones. With 5G, that could actually happen. This is notable because companies such as Apple are reportedly developing AR glasses to assist --- or even replace --- smartphones.Ericsson stated at February’s Mobile W orld Congress how smart glasses could become faster and lighter with a 5G connection, because instead of being weighed down with components, the glasses could reply on hardware for processing power.But don’t get to excited. There’s still a lot of work to be down in the meantime, including various trials to make sure the radios play nicely with hardware and infrastructure construction so 5G isn’t concentrated only in big cities.32. What is the first paragraph mainly about?A. A right security of 5G.B. The super speed of 5G.C. A potential dream of 5G.D. The present world of 5G.33. Which of the following can replace the underlined word “emblem” in paragraph 2?A. exhibitionB. explanationC. sponsorD. symbol34. What do some tech companies expect of virtual reality glasses?A. They will be heavier than present ones.B. They will process power on their ownC. They will serve people instead of smartphones.D. They will bring a big fortune to teach companies.35. What will the author tell us in the next paragraph?A. How to fully expand 5G coverage.B. How to effectively reduce 5G trials.C. How to nicely operate 5G hardware.D. How to widely construct 5G big cities.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。
