A hookah system is a system of providing air from the surface to divers down below. Cage divers breathe by using a regulator connected to an air hose.Is SharkDiving Dangerous?Yes. You could get sunburnt. You could hit your head on the top bunk getting out of bed. You could fall overboard. As for a shark attack,according to the International Shark Attack File,you are far more likely to be killed by a dog or a deer.Pricing & DetailsOne day Cage Diver Adventure S 875Our expert shark diver team will accompany you to the best viewing areas within the Marine Sanctuary.There,we'll drop our cage and prepare to provide you with a view you'll never forget.No dive experience is necessary.Our cages sit just below the surface.You'll be able to breathe comfortably from your snorkel or air hose while you move about the cage,taking photos and having fun.Top Shark Adventure S 375If you want to see great white sharks but prefer them a little further away,we offer great top-side shark viewing from our observation deck.

We've been very successful in past shark seasons and expect another incredible year. However, if we see nosharks, there is no refund.1.Which of the following isTRUEabout the two adventures?A.Top Shark Adventure makes use of hookah systems.B.Cage Diver Adventure offers you a view of the bottom of the sea.C.Cage Diver Adventure is less interesting than the other.D.Top Shark Adventure is suitable for those worried about danger.2.What is most likely to happen according to the advertisement?A.you fail to achieve your purpose of the trip.B.you are out of breath deep down in the sea.C.you are hurt by a shark while diving there,D.you suffer from lack of skill in shark diving.3.It can be inferred from the advertisement that shark diving is ________A.difficult but excitingB.challenging and tiringC.amazing and enjoyableD.expensive but popularBScientists often compare coral reefs(珊瑚礁) to underwater rainforests, yet unlike the leafy plant base of a forest, corals are animals. The soft creatures are naturally half-transparent and get their brilliant color1 from algae(藻类) living inside them. When corals experience stress from hot temperatures or pollution, theyhaltthe interdependent relationship with algae, typically pushing them out and turning white. Corals are still alive when they are white, but they're at risk and many eventually die, turning dark brown.Scientists around the world are looking for means to protect and maybe increase corals. One common option is to create more protected areas — essentially national parks in the ocean. Beyond nature preserves, some conservationists are looking to more hands-on methods. One research center in the Florida Keys is exploring a form of natural selection to keep corals remaining. The reef system in the Keys has been hit hard by climate change and pollution, which is especially tough, because corals there help support fisheries worth $ 100 million every year.To keep the wild ecosystem alive, Erinn Muller, the center's director, and her team are harvesting samples of the corals that survived the environmental stress naturally, keeping them to make them reproduce, and then reattaching them to the reef. They have 46,000 corals on plastic frames under the sea. So far, the center has regrown over 70,000 corals from five different species on damaged reefs.In The Bahamas, Ross Cunning, a research biologist at Chicago's Shedd Aquarium, focuses on corals with genes that could make them natural candidates for restoration projects. He published a study of two Bahamian reefs, one that survived an extreme 2015 heat wave, and one that didn't. "We think their ability to deal with thesehigher temperatures is built into their genes," says Cunning. There's evidence of corals evolving more quickly to resist rapidly warming climate. The big question scientists need investigate, adds Gunning, is how much more heat corals can adapt to.4. What does the underlined word "halt" in the first paragraph mean?A. End.B. Develop.C. Strengthen.D. Weaken.5. What do Muller and her team do to save corals?A. Restore the damaged reefs.B. Grow corals by hand underwater.C. Create more protected areas.D. Move corals to unpolluted areas.6. What do Gunning's words suggest?A. Many corals have been genetically improved.B. Cooling down the waters is key to rescuing corals.C. Reasons for corals surviving heat waves are shocking.D. The highest temperature corals can survive is unclear.7. Which can be a suitable title for the text?A. Relationship between corals and algaeB. Efforts made to save coralsC. Impact of climate warming on coralsD. Survival crisis faced by coral reefsCEvery day, millions of shoppers hit the stores in full force, searching wildly for the perfect gift.Aside from purchasing holiday gifts, most people regularly buy presents for other occasions throughout the year, including weddings, birthdays, anniversaries, and graduations. This frequent experience of gift-giving cancause uncertain feelings in gift-givers. Many enjoy the opportunity to buy presents because gift-giving offers a powerful means to build stronger bonds, while many worry that their purchases will disappoint rather than delight the intended recipients (接受者).Anthropologists describe gift-giving as a positive social process, serving various political, religious, and psychological functions. Economists, however, offer a less favorable view. According to Waldfogel, gift-giving represents an objective wasteof resources. People buy gifts that recipients would not choose to buy on their own, or at least not spend as much money to purchase (a phenomenon referred to as‘‘the deadweight loss of Christmas”).What is surprising is that gift-givers have much experience acting as both gift-givers and gift-recipients, but nevertheless tend to overspend each time they set out to purchase a meaningful gift. In the present research, wepropose a unique psychological explanation for this overspending problem — gift-givers link how much they spend with how much recipients will appreciate the gift. Though it seems natural to gift-givers, such an assumption may be unfounded. Indeed, we propose that gift-recipients will be less likely to base their feelings of appreciation on the value of a gift than givers assume.Why do gift-givers assume that gift price is closely linked to gift-recipients’ feelings of appreciation? Perhaps givers believe that more expensive gifts communicate a stronger sense ofthoughtfulness and consideration. According to Camerer and others, gift-giving represents a symbolic ritual (习俗), by which gift-givers attempt to signal their positive attitudes towards the recipient and their willingness to invest resources in a futurerelationship. In this sense, gift-givers may be motivated to spend more money on a gift in order to send a “stronger signal”. As for gift-recipients, they may not interpret smaller and larger gifts as representing smaller and larger signals of thoughtfulness and consideration.The idea of gift-givers and gift-recipients being unable to account for the other party’s viewpoint seems confusing because people slip in and out of these roles every day. Yet, despite the experience as both givers and receivers, people often struggle to apply information gained from one role in another. In theoretical terms, people fail to use information about their own preferences and experiences to produce more efficient outcomes in their exchange relations. In practical terms, people spend hundreds of dollars each year on gifts, but somehow never learn to estimate their gift expense according to personal insight.8. The author uses “the deadweight loss of Christmas” in Paragraph 2 to express ________.A. gift-givers don’t spend much money during holidaysB. gift-givers don’t ask recipients what gifts they preferC. gift-givers buy improper and expensive giftsD. gift-givers have difficulty in choosing gifts9. According to the passage, people buy gifts to ________.A. receive gifts in returnB. enjoy the feeling of shoppingC. help recipients to save moneyD. better relationships with recipients10. What can we learn from the passage?A. People’s high living standards require expensive gifts.B. Gift-givers buy gifts based on their experiences as recipients.C. Anthropologists think gift-giving meets different human needs.D. Recipients judge the depth of friendship according to the gift price.11. Why did the author write this article?A. To criticize people’s gift-buying habits.B. To analyze people’s gift-giving behaviors.C. To offer advice on how to improve relationships.D. To remind people not to overlook others’ preferences.DMost animals living in crowded conditions have particularly strong immune systems, so it long puzzled researchers that honeybees do not.Part of the answer, discovered in 2015, is that queen bees vaccinate their eggs by moving parts of proteins from disease-causing pathogens to them before they are laid. These act as antigens totriggerthe development of a protective immune response in the developing young. But that observation raises the question of how the queen receives her antigen supply in the first place? Dr. Harwood wondered if the nurse bees were taking in parts of pathogens and passing them to royal jelly they were producing while eating the food brought to the hive.To test this idea, he teamed up with a group at theUniversityofHelsinki, inFinland, led by Dr Heli Salmela. Together, they collected about 150 nurse bees and divided them among six queenless mini hives equipped with baby bees to look after. Instead of honey, they fed the nurses on sugar water, and for three of the hives they added P. larvae, a bacterium causing a hive-killing disease, to the sugar water.In this case, to stop such an infection happening, Dr Harwood and Dr Salmela heat-treated the pathogens and so killed them in advance. They also labelled the dead bacteria with a fluorescent dye, to track them easily. And, sure enough, it was confirmed that parts of P. larvae were getting into royal jelly released by those bees which had been fed with the sugar water containing that.All told, these findings suggest that nurse bees are indeed, through their royal jelly, passing antigens onto the queen for vaccinating her eggs. They also mean the nurses are vaccinating baby bees as well, because baby bees, too, receive royal jelly for the first few days after they come out.12. What does the underlined word “trigger" in Paragraph 2 probably mean?A. Cut out.B. Set off.C. Slow down.D. Put off.13. Which is the main experimental subject in Paragraph 3?A. Queen bees.B. Nurse bees.C. Bee eggs.D. Baby bees.14. Why was P. larvae added to the sugar water?A. To test if it would cause a hive-killing disease.B. To check how the bacterium would affect the hive.C. To see whether the target bees would favor the taste.D. To confirm the bees would pass pathogens to royal jelly.15. What is the text mainly about?A. How bees multiply.B. How antigens function.C. How bees get vaccinated.D. How immune system works.第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

But it also presents a danger to the world in two important ways. First, the making of paper requires the loss of many millions of trees each year. And worldwide use of paper is expected to double in the next 40 years. Clearly, the planet cannot stand such a high rate of forest loss. The second great problem with paper is what happens once it is no longer useful. A large amount of wastepaper ends up in landfills, where it can produce harmful gases and finally contribute to global climate change.One simple solution can greatly reduce both of these problems: paper recycling. Instead of cutting down trees, recycle existing paper to feed the paper-making process.Paper is mainly made from cellulose (纤维素),which can be used repeatedly in papermaking. Unfortunately, it also means that paper waste takes a surprisingly long time to break down in landfills. So far, trees are the only source(来源) of cellulose that can fill the great demand for paper products. Therefore, recycling paper is simply one of the best ways to save trees. Thanks to advances in processing, recycled paper need not be the dark-color1 edstuff many of us are familiar with. It now can offer the same print performance as non-recycled paper.Effective recycling requires a continuous effort from everyone at all levels of society. The way to begin is with education and understanding. Once enough people realize the need for recycling, more effective recycling systems can be developed.The need is real. The massive loss of trees affects everybody on earth. Everyone should do their part to recycle paper and encourage government and industry to do the same. The world will be a better place for it!4. What can we infer from the text?A. The use of recycled paper will double in 40 years.B. Recycling paper helps relieve global climate change.C. Wastepaper can easily break down in landfills.D. There are not enough landfills for wastepaper.5. What makes recycled paper more acceptable?A. The great demand of trees.B. The low processing cost.C. Its dark-color1 ed feature.D. Its improved print performance.6. What does the author propose?A. Punishing the act of cutting trees.B. Recycling paper.C. Improving recycling system.D. Promoting paper industry.7. How is the text mainly developed?A. By analyzing causes and effects.B. By offering research plans and data.C. By discussing problems and solutions.D. By comparing strengths and weaknesses.CWhen a United Kingdomsupermarket chain promised to move its farms to Net Zero by 2030, it made it clear that the effort would require working on many different fronts. From energy consumption and land - use change to methane emissions (甲烷排放), cattle farming comes with environmental challenges. So even if recent studies suggesting it's possible to cut methane emissions 80% do turn out to be accurate, there's still a very long way to go for most cattle farming to get anywhere close to truly net zero.Organic Valley, when producing milk, might be closer to that goal. It made headlines in 2019 by going 100% renewable (可再生的). Now the company is expanding on that tradition by starting a major loan initiative (贷款计划) to help its farm suppliers adopt renewable energy too.Created with Clean Energy Credit Union, the $ 1 million loan fund will deliver loans at below - marketrates. Specifically, the money will be made available to Organic Valley's 1, 700 farmer members, and can be used for a variety of projects.“We are focused on a whole systems approach to renewable energy, and I'm excited to launch this energy loan fund. From the farm to the shelf, I see renewable energy playing a bigger role in organic food,” said Bob Kirchoff, Organic Valley CEO.“Organic Valley is already helping to protect the environment through organic farming practices, and nowthey re going one step further by supporting the introduction of renewable energy projects for their farmer members,” said Blake Jones, volunteer board chair of Clean Energy Credit Union. “In addition to the environmental benefits, we re eager to help family farmers throughout the world to lower their energy costs.”The world is not short of examples of farmers innovating in the field of renewable energy. What's encouraging about Organic Valley's announcement is the idea of a national brand putting its marketing and financing weight behind such efforts and, hopefully, creating consumer demand that pushes the rest of the industry in this direction too.8. What does paragraph 1 indicate about going net zero for cattle farming?A It is not easy to achieve B. It is common in the UKC. It is an impractical goalD. It meets no challenges9. What is Organic Valley's tradition according to the text?A. Helping farm suppliersB. Using renewable energyC. Having a loan initiativeD. Making headlines annually10. What is Organic Valley's initiative mainly intended to do?A. Reform organic farming practicesB. Make use of environmental benefitsC. Help farmers decrease energy costsD. Shrink the group of farmer members11. What is the author's attitude towards Organic Valley's initiative?A. WorriedB. DoubtfulC. AmbiguousD. PositiveDWhen girls play with cars, they're serious. It was at primary school that Gu Huijing first became interested in cars after watching some car-themed movies. Born in2004 inShenzhen, Guangdong province, Gu decided to major in automobiles (汽车) when she was in junior high.She's driven by interest, but she is also a realist. “I think the future of the automobile industry is bright because we cannot live without food, clothes, houses and cars,” she said.In April, she won first prize at a competition for vehicle maintenance (车辆维修) in Dongguan city, which drew 33 teams from different cities across the province.“I thought it couldn't be that hard to repair cars when I started to take courses, but I was totally wrong,” Gu said. When she started learning in 2019, she was frequently confused by various problems. “And competition within our school is intense, so I had to work extra hard,” she said.Her teacher once tried to persuade her to give up as she was a sophomore (大二学生), and wasn't asknowledgeable as the seniors, and no women had ever been selected for the competition before. “But I insisted that I would carry on,” she said. Finally, her training and hard work won her the only place to stand for her school at the competition.A woman winning first prize in a vehicle maintenance competition became a hot topic on-line, causing heated discussions over gender (性别) and career choices. “Women should not be influenced by old-fashioned thinking, and should do whatever it takes to discover their interests and strengths. There are more possibilities out there,” one netizen wrote.Gu said, “Many people think vehicle maintenance is a job for men. That's wrong. I don't think gender has anything to do with choice of jobs.” “I have a goal and I will work harder to make it happen,” she added. “I will be responsible for my choices.”12. What was a cause of Gu's choosing automobiles as her major?A. The love for automobiles.B. The guidance from her parents.C. The high popularity of automobiles.D. The determination to contribute to society.13. Why did Gu's teacher advise her to quit the competition?A. She lacked the knowledge related to it.B. She had never taken part in a competition before.C. She was unlikely to win the competition.D. Women were not allowed to enter the competition.14. Which of the following best describes Gu Huijing?A. Creative and caring.B. Determined and hard-working.C. Independent and humorous.D. Honest and courageous.15. What would be the best title for the text?A. There Is No End To LearningB. Teenage Girl Wins Car Repair ContestC. Vehicle Maintenance Catches OnD. Taking Challenge Leads To Success第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

Underground The world's first subway was built in London in1863.At the time,the government was looking for a way to reduce traffic problems in the city of London.The poor areas of the city were so crowded with people that it was almost impossible for horse carriages to get through.The city officials were interested in trying to make it possible for workers to live outside of London and travel easily to work each day.If people had a cheap and convenient way that they could depend on to go to and from work,they would relocate their homes outside of the city.This would help ease(减轻)the pressure of too many people living in the poor parts of London.From these problems,the idea of the London Underground,the first subway system,was born.The plans for building the Underground met with several problems and delays,but the fast track was finally opened in January1863.A steam train pulled the cars along the fast underground track which was6kilometers(3.7miles)long.About30,000people got on the subway the first day.Riders were treated to comfortable seats(standing up while the train was moving was not allowed),and pleasant decorations inside each of the cars.However,the smoke from the engine soon filled the air in the tunnels with ash and soot (煤灰),as well as chemical gases.Fans had to be put in the tunnels later to keep the air clean enough for people to breathe.Even with its problems,riding in the Underground did catch on.It carried9million riders in its first year.4.What led the British government to build the London Underground?______A.Traffic jams and pollution.B.Population and pollution.C.Overcrowding and traffic jams.D.The poverty and subway problems.5.How did the London Underground solve the smoke problem?______A.It made the tunnels larger.B.It

read newspapers over breakfast?If so,unfortunately sometime in the next century,the familiar early-newspaper on the front porch(门廊)will disappear.And instead of reading your newspaper,it will read to you.You'll get up and turn on the computer newspaper just like switching on the TV.An electronic voice will distribute stories about the latest events,guided by a program that selects the type of news youwant.You'll even get to choose the kind of voice you want to hear.Want more information on this brief story?A simple touch makes the entire text appear.Save it in your own personal computer if you like.These are among the predictions from communication experts working on the newspapers of the future.Pictured as part of broader home-based media and entertainment systems,computer newspapers will unite print and broadcast reporting,and offer news and analysis with video images of news events.Most of the technology is available now,but convincing more people that they don't need to read a newspaper is the next step.But resistance to computer newspapers may be stronger from within journalism.Since it is such a cultural change,it may be that the present generation of journalists and publishers will have to die off before the next generation realizes that the newspaper industry is no longer a newspaper industry.Technology is making the end of traditional newspapers unavoidable.Despite technological advances,it could take decades to replace newsprint with computer screens.It might take30to40years to complete the changeover because people need to buy computers and because newspapers have established financial interests in the paper industry.8.Which of the following is NOT an advantage of computer newspapers?______A.They are cheaper than traditional newspapers.B.They are more convenient to read.C.You can choose the kind of voice you want to hear.D.You can easily save information for future use.9.It can be inferred that journalists are against computer newspapers because______.A.they don't know how to use computersB.they think computer newspapers take too much time to readC.they think the new technology is badD.they have been trained to write for traditional newspapers10.We can infer from the passage that______.A.all technological changes are goodB.new technologies don't always replace old onesC.new technologies will eventually replace old onesD.traditional newspapers are here to stay for another century11.What is the best title of the passage?______puter newspapers are well liked.B.Newspapers of the future will be on the computer.C.Newspapers are out of fashion.D.New communications technology.【答案】【小题1】A【小题2】D【小题3】C【小题4】B【解析】(1)---(4):ADCB(1).A.细节理解题.根据第一段第三句And instead of reading your newspaper,it will read to you(不用你读,电脑会读给你听---吻合选项B);第一段第六句You'll even get to choose the kind of voice you want to hear (你甚至可以选择你要听的声音类型---吻合选项C)以及第九句Save it in your own personal computer if you

the present generation of journalists and publishers will h ave to die off before the next generation realizes that the newspaper industry is no longer a newspaper industry.Technology is making the end of traditional newspapers unavoidable(但是来自报业内部对电脑报纸的排斥是巨大的.由于这是文化上的巨变,可能目前这代的记者和出版商将会逐渐消失,而下一代意识到报业不再是报纸行业.科学技术不可避免地终结了传统报纸)由此推断记者排斥电脑报纸是因为他们一直是为传统报纸撰稿的,对于新技术有抵触情绪.故选D.(3).C.推理判断题.根据文章最后一段第二句It might take30to40years to complete the changeover because people need to buy computers and because newspa pers have established financial interests in the paper industry(可能要用30或40年才能完全改变因为人们需要买电脑,也因为报纸在报业长久建立的金融利益)可知电脑报纸终将取代报纸,故应选C(4).B.主旨大意题.根据第一段第三和四句And instead of reading your newspaper,it will read to you.You'll get up and turn on the co mputer newspaper

equipment is more harmful than you thought.According to the latest study,the regular use of text messages and e-mails can lower the IQ more than twice as much as smoking marijuana(大麻).That is the statement of researchers who have found that tapping away on a mobile phone or computer keypad or checking for electronic messages temporarily knocks up to10points off the user's IQ.This rate of decline in intelligence compares unfavorably with the four-point drop in IQ associated with smoking marijuana,according to British researchers,who have described the phenomenon of improved stupidity as"infomania".The research conducted by Hewlett Packard,the technology company,has concluded that it is mainly a problem for adult workers,especially men.It is concluded that too much use of modern technology can damage a person's mind.It can cause a constant distraction of"always on"technology when employees should be concentrating on what they are paid to do.Infomania means that they lose concentration as their minds remain fixed in an almost permanent state of readiness to react to technology instead of focusing on the task in hand.The report also added that,in a long term,the brain will be considerably shaped by what we do to it and by the experience of daily life.At a microcellular(微细胞)level,the complex networks of nerve cells that make up parts of the brain actually change in response to certain experiences.Too much use of modern technology can be damaging not only to a person's mind,but to their social relationship.1100adults were interviewed during the research.More than62percent of them admitted that they were addicted to checking their e-mails and text messages so often that they scrutinized work-related ones even when at home or on holiday.Half said that they always responded immediately to an email and will even interrupt a meeting to do so.It is concluded that infomania is increasing stress and anxiety and affecting one's characteristics.Nine out of ten thought that colleagues who answered e-mails or messages during a face-to-face meeting were extremely rude.The effects on IQ were studied by Dr Glenn Wilson,a psychologist at University of London."This is a very real and widespread phenomenon,"he said."We have found that infomania will damage a worker's performance by reducing their mental sharpness and changing their social life.Companies should encourage a more balanced and appropriate way of working."12.We can learn from the passage that"infomania"______.A.has a positive influence on one's IQB.results in the change of part of the brainC.lies in the problem of lack of concentrationD.is caused by too much use of modern technology13.The research mentioned in the passage is most probably about______.A.the important function of advanced technologyB.the damage to one's brain done by unhealthy habitsC.the relevance between IQ and use of modern technologyD.the relationship between intelligence and working effectiveness14.The underlined word"scrutinized"probably means"______".A.examined carefullyB.copied patientlyC.corrected quicklyD.admitted freely15.Which of the following shows the structure of the

Not far from the city center, it also has one of Africa’s biggest slums(贫民区)and its share of beggars. Street kids would tail me, begging. During a previous trip to Senegal, I was once cheated by a man. I'd wondered for years whether to give money to beggars in West Africa.Near my apartment, I passed a group of young men in wheelchairs.Head down ,I walked by them quickly. As the months went by, I'd often come across them. I’d often see them at an outdoor basketball court near my office. They’d sit on the ground with their chairs upside down, tightening and adjusting wheels, waiting until the other guys left so they could play.I'd stay and watch them warm up. They played with speed, rolling down the court as fast as I could run. A few weeks later I introduced myself to them with the help of Mafall, who was one of the guys .I started spending more time with them and eventually became something like an assistant coach.The players quickly grew on me. I started referring to them as “my guys” to my colleagues. It was the most fun I'd had since I got to Dakar .Life on the street had made my players strong and they didn’t back down easily. I was proud of them.Toward the end of the season, Mafall invited me to where he lived—finding many of the players there, I learned that most of them were born with disabilities. When chatting I knew something had changed. They were no longer beggars. They were basketball players, my guys, and my friends.24.It can be inferred from the text that the disabled young men_________.A. played basketball as well as normal guys.B.often helped the local charity.C.were not friendly toward foreignersD. used to beg in the streets25.Why did the writer walk by the young men with head down?A.To be afraid of being recognized by them.B.To prevent himself from being stolen.C. To be careful enough to find his way home.D. To be afraid of being cheated by them.26.Why did the author call the disabled young m en“my guys”?A. They were loved by the author.B. They often played tricks on the author.C.They used to cheat others when begging.D.They always quarreled while training.27.What is the whole text mainly about?A.The author refused to be cheated by beggars in Dakar.B.The author helped the locals in Senegal out of poverty.C. The author helped to change some disabled young men in Dakar.D. The author coached the young men in Senegal to play basketbal1.CImagine you’re standing in line to buy an after-school snack at a store. You step up to the counter and the cashier scans your food. Next, you have to pay. But instead of scanning a QR code (二维码) with your smartphone, you just hold out your hand so the cashier can scan your fingerprint. Or, a camera scans your face, your eyes or even your ear.Now, this type of technology might not be far away. As technology companies move away from the traditional password, biometric security (生物识别技术), which includes fingerprint, face and voice ID, is becoming increasingly popular.In 2013, Apple introduced the iPhone 5s, one of the first smartphones with a fingerprint scanner. Since then, using one’s fingerprint to unlock a phone and make mobile payments has become commonplace, bringing convenience to our lives. And since last year, Samsung has featured eye-scanning technology in its top smartphones, while Apple’s new iPhone X can even scan a user’s face.Biometrics are good; in practice, not so much. when introducing the new iPhone’s Face ID feature ,Phil Schiller, Apple’s senior vice president, said, “The chance that a random person in the population could look at your iPhone X and unlock it with their face is about one in a million.” And in a video posted on community website Reddit on Nov 3, two brothers showed how they were each able to unlock the same iPhone X using their own face, Quartz reported. And they aren’t even twins.Anil Jain, a computer science professor found a way to trick biometric security. Using a printed copy of a thumbprint, she could unlock a dead person’s smartphone for police, according to tech website Splinter. “It’s good to see biometrics being used more,” Jain told CBS News, “because it adds another factor for security. But using multiple s ecurity measures is the best defence.”28.What is the latest technology to unlock a smartphone according to the article?A.QR code scanning.B.Face scanning.C.Fingerprint scanning.D. Eye scanning.29.What’s a major problem of the iPhone X’s Face ID syste m?A.It often fails to recognize its owner’s face.B.Different faces could be used to unlock the same phone.C.Face data could be used for other purposes.D.It takes too long to unlock the phone.30.What does Anil Jain think of biometric security?A. It should be used with other security measures.B.It has caused much trouble for police.C.It’s more secure than traditional measures.D. It still needs much improvement.31.The author wrote this article mainly to ______.A.describe the popularity of biometricsB.show how biometrics has changed our livesC. point out various problems with biometricsD. discuss the security problems of biometricsDResearchers in China and the United States have developed a new cataract(白内障)treatment with cells that has restored vision in babies in a trial and may eventually be used in adults. The treatment was published in March 9 edition of the scientific journal Nature.A cataract is a clouding of the normally clear lens(晶体)of an eye. Typical cataract operation involves the removal of the cloudy lens and the insertion of an artificial one. The new operation has been tested in animals and during a small, human trial. It resulted in fewer complications(并发症) and in regrown lenses with superior visual function in all 12 of the baby cataract patients who received the procedure.A congenital cataract- lens clouding that occurs at birth or shortly after- is important cause of blindness in children. In the new research, Kand Zhang, head of ophthalmic genetics at US San Diego’s Shil ey Eye Institute, relied on the regrown potential of endogenous(同源的)stem cells. According to Zhang, endogenous stem cells are different from other stem cells that are typically grown in a laboratory. Zhang told CBS News, “We invented a new operation to mak e a very small opening at the side of a cataractous lens bag, remove the cataract inside, allow the opening to heal, and promote potential lens stem cells to regrow an entirely new lens with vision.”The human trial involved 12 babies under the age of 2 who were treated with the new method, while 25 babies received the standard operation care. The latter group experienced a higher incidence of post- operation danger. The scientists reported fewer complications and faster healing among the 12 babies.32. Which is the best title?A. The concept of the cataractB. Bad effects of post-operation in the cataractC. A new cataract treatment with stem cellsD. The popularity of a new treatment33. Which of the following best describe the new cataract treatment according to the passage?A. ConvenientB. ComfortableC. CheapD. Safe34. What can we learn about the new cataract treatment?A. It has more risksB. It has been put into practice widelyC. It may be used widelyD. It can only restore vision in babies35. What does the underlined word “congenital” in the fourth paragraph mean?A. StrangeB. BornC. SeriousD. Dangerous.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。

But usually people would accept tame(温顺的) and loyal(忠诚的) animals as pets rather than dangerous ones such as a lion,a tiger or a snake.People love pets and take good care of them. The owners usually regard pets as good friends and some even consider them as members of the family. Although they are not human beings(人类), their behavior sometimes is better than human beings, for they are always loyal to their owners. There are always many stories about brave and smart pets. We often hear that a pet dog saved the owner's life or traveled thousands of miles to return home. Such stories often make pets more lovely.Some pets can also be trained to help people with some special work. For example, trained dogs can help the blind to walk and trained dogs and pigs can even help police to find where drugs are easily.But pets are sometimes trouble-makers. Some pets like dogs or snakes may hurt people without any warning. Some people may become ill after being hurt because of the virus carried by the pets. If they are not taken good care of, they will become very dirty and easily get ill. So pets are helpful to us but keeping pets is not an easy job.51.

But it seems that I did nothing and it was my most unlucky holiday.I spent a lot of time on my homework. Every morning my mother woke me up early and I had breakfast in a hurry. Then I had to do my homework almost the whole day! I’m not a very slow person but the homework was too heavy!I was also unlucky when playing. During the Spring Festival, I played fireworks but my finger was hurt because I was careless to light the fireworks. I began to fear playing with fireworks from then.I was still unlucky on my friend’s party. On my friend’s birthday, unusually I woke up at 10:50 because my parents went to visit my grandmother early in the morning. The party would start in 10 minutes! So I hurried to my friend’s home without breakfast. I returned very late that day and when I got home, my parents were very angry with me.Another worrying thing was my weight.

2020年江西省玉山县第一中学高三英语期中考试试题及答案解析

2020年江西省玉山县第一中学高三英语期中考试试题及答案解析第一部分阅读(共两节,满分40分)第一节(共15小题;每小题2分,满分30分)阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项AFor some people, there’s no better companion than mans best friend-a dog. This four-legged pet can bring comfort and joy and provide much- needed exercise for you when it needs walkies! This probably explains why dog ownership increased last year because people spent more time at home during he CovID-I9 lockdown.However, as demand for a new dog increased, so did the price tag. Popular breeds, such as Cockapoos and Cocker Spaniels, saw even sharper price increases, and puppies have been selling for $3,000 or more.Animal welfare charities fearthat high prices could encourage puppy farming, smuggling (走私) or dog theft. An investigation found some breeders have been selling puppies and kittens on social media sites--something charities have called “extremely irresponsible”.But despite some new owners purchasing a dog legally, maybe from a rescue center or registered breeder, they’ve proved to be ill-prepared for life with a new pet, and the pet itself has found it hard tocome to terms withlife in a new home.Looking to the future, there are concerns about the welfare of these much-loved pets. Lan Alkin manager of the Oxfordshire Animal Sanct uary in the UK, notes: “At the moment, the dogs are having a great time, but separation anxiety could still surface when people go back to work.” And Cliare Calder from the UKs Dogs Trust rescue charity says, “The economic situation also means that some people may find they can’t afford to look aftera dog.” The message is not to buy a dog in haste and to pick one that fits into our lifestyle.1. The greater demand for dogs can cause the following problems except ________.A. illegal trade of dogsB. less dog farmingC. high prices of dogsD. online sale of dogs2. What does the underlined phrase"come to terms with"in paragraph 4 mean?A. Fit in withB. Go in forC. Make up for.D. End up with3. What can we learn from the last paragraph?A. Despite the problems, dogs are living happily.B. The writer has a positive attitude towards dogs future.C. Experts are worried that dogs will be unaffordable to people.D. The writer advises people to think twice before keeping dogs as pets.BA dog spentthe lastfour years of his life waitingat a crossroad in the Thai city ofKhon Kaenas if waiting for someone. People originally thought the dog had been abandoned, but then realized that he looked healthy, so people asked around about him. It turned out that the dog had indeed been spending most of his time around that crossroad, but a woman had been coming round regularly to bring him food and water.One day, while photographing the dog everyone called Leo, a reporter met the woman who had been taking care of him. She had come to drop off some food. After learning the story about the dog and the woman, the reporter decided to share the story on social media. The post soonwent viraland the photos of Leo got shared hundreds of times. And the photos reached the eyes of Leo’s former old owner.Nang Noi Sittisarn, a 64-year-old woman fromThailand’sRoiEtProvince, almost had a heart attack when her daughter showed her a photo of the beloved dog named BonBon she had lost during a car trip. When she learned that he had been waiting for her in the same spot for the last four years,her heart melted(融化).Auntie Noi told her daughter to drive her to where the dog was waiting. When she got there and called his name. BonBon,the poor dog started wiggling(扭动)his tailand came to her,but when she tried to take him home with her, he was unwilling to follow. She didn’ t want to force the dog to come with her so she agreed to leave him with his new master. However, she and her daughter will come to visit him regularly.4.Why did the dog look healthy after separation from his former owner?A. He walked around the crossroad constantly.B.

No one knows the result until the last minuteCWhen I was young, my mother didn't have the money to send me to school, but she thought it was important for me to keep up with education.So she decided to teach me extra lessons herself.But because she had to go to work, the only time she could do it was at 4:30 inthe morning.We needevery one of you to develop your talents and your skills so that you can help us old folks solve our most difficult problems. If you quit on school—you're not just quitting on yourself, but you're quitting on your country. No one's written your destiny(命运)for you, because you write your own destiny. You make your own future.That's why today I'm calling on each of you to set your own goals for your education and do everything you can to meet them.Your goal can be something as simple as doing all your homework, paying attention in class, or spending some time reading a book.But whatever you decide to do, I want you to commit to it.I want you to really work at it.I know that sometimes you get that sense from TV that you can be rich and successful without any hard work—that your ticket to success is through rapping or basketball or being a reality TV star.No one's born being good at all things.

That willpower bore fruit when Jennifer graduated from University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire and became the first in her large family to earn a bachelor's(学士) degree.Jennifer grew up on a farm in a family of 10 children. Her dad worked at a job away from the farm, and her mother ran the farm with the kids. After high school, Jennifer attended a local technical college, working to pay her tuition(学费), because there was no extra money set aside for a college education. After graduation, she worked to help her sisters and brothers pay for their schooling.Jennifer now is married and has three children of her own. She decided to go back to college to advance her career and to be able to better support her family while doing something she loves: nursing. She chose the UW-Eau Claire program at Ministry Saint Joseph's Hospital in Marshfield because she was able to pursue her four-year degree close to home. She could drive to class and be home in the evening to help with her kids. Jennifer received great support from her family as she worked to earn her degree: Her husband worked two jobs to cover the bills, and her 68-year-old mother helped take care of the children at times.Through it all, she remained in good academic standing and graduated with honors. Jennifer sacrificed(牺牲) a lot to achieve her goal, giving up many nights with her kids and missing important events to study. “Some nights my heart was breaking to have to pick between my kids and studying for exams or papers,” she says. However, her children have learned animportant lesson, witnessing their mother earn her degree. Jennifer is a first-generation graduate and an inspiration to her family—and that's pretty powerful.12. What did Jennifer do after high school?A. She helped her dad with his work.B. She ran the family farm on her own.C. She taught her sisters and brothers.D. She supported herself through college.13. Why did she choose the program at Ministry Saint Joseph's Hospital?A. To learn from the best nurses.B. To take care of her kids easily at night.C. To save money for her parents.D. To find a well-paid job there.14. What did Jennifer sacrifice to achieve her goal?A. Her health.B. Her chance of promotion.C Her reputation. D. Her time with family.15. What can we learn from Jennifer's story?A. Hard work pays off.B. Love breaks down barriers.C. Time is money.D. Education is the key to success.第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

AYou have a choice of three Supafone Mobile Digital access plans: Leisuretime, Executive and Highflier. They are designed to meet the needs of light, moderate and high-volume users. Calls in each plan are charged at only two rates: short-distance and long-distance.LEISURETIMEYour mobile phone is mainly for personal use. You use your phone to keep family and friends in touch. You don’t want to strain your budget(预算紧张).With this plan you enjoy the lowest monthly access fee and extremely competitive costs for calls. However, a monthly minimum call charge applies.EXECUTIVEYou’re in business and need to be able to call your office and your clients whenever the need arise s. You value the convenience of a mobile phone but need to keep a close eye on costs.For frequent users: the monthly access fee is slightly higher, but you enjoy the savings of a discounted call rate.

You will pay _____for a 50-second short-distance call at 8 p. m., Friday, on Highflier plan.A.15 centsB.15.2 centsC.30.2 centsD.30 centsBWhen I moved to Senegal in 2007 to work for a charity organization, the first thing I did was to hit Dakar, the capital. Not far from the city center, it also has one of Africa’s biggest slums(贫民区)and its share of beggars. Street kids would tail me, begging. During a previous trip to Senegal, I was once cheated by a man. I'd wondered for years whether to give money to beggars in West Africa.Near my apartment, I passed a group of young men in wheelchairs.Head down ,I walked by them quickly. As the months went by, I'd often come across them. I’d often see them at an outdoor basketball court near my office. They’d sit on the ground with their chairs upside down, tightening and adjusting wheels, waiting until the other guys left so they could play.I'd stay and watch them warm up. They played with speed, rolling down the court as fast as I could run. A few weeks later I introduced myself to them with the help of Mafall, who was one of the guys .I started spending more time with them and eventually became something like an assistant coach.The players quickly grew on me. I started referring to them as “my guys” to my colleagues. It was the most fun I'd had since I got to Dakar .Life on the street had made my players strong and they didn’t back down easily. I was proud of them.Toward the end of the season, Mafall invited me to where he lived—finding many of the players there, I learned that most of them were born with disabilities. When chatting I knew something had changed. They were no longer beggars. They were basketball players, my guys, and my friends.24.It can be inferred from the text that the disabled young men_________.A. played basketball as well as normal guys.B.often helped the local charity.C.were not friendly toward foreignersD. used to beg in the streets25.Why did the writer walk by the young men with head down?A.To be afraid of being recognized by them.B.To prevent himself from being stolen.C. To be careful enough to find his way home.D. To be afraid of being cheated by them.26.Why did t he author call the disabled young men“my guys”?A. They were loved by the author.B. They often played tricks on the author.C.They used to cheat others when begging.D.They always quarreled while training.27.What is the whole text mainly about?A.The author refused to be cheated by beggars in Dakar.B.The author helped the locals in Senegal out of poverty.C. The author helped to change some disabled young men in Dakar.D. The author coached the young men in Senegal to play basketbal1.CImagine you’re standing in line to buy an after-school snack at a store. You step up to the counter and the cashier scans your food. Next, you have to pay. But instead of scanning a QR code (二维码) with your smartphone, you just hold out your hand so the cashier can scan your fingerprint. Or, a camera scans your face, your eyes or even your ear.Now, this type of technology might not be far away. As technology companies move away from the traditional password, biometric security (生物识别技术), which includes fingerprint, face and voice ID, is becoming increasingly popular.In 2013, Apple introduced the iPhone 5s, one of the first smartphones with a fingerprint scanner. Since then, using one’s fingerprint to unlock a phone and make mobile payments has become commonplace, bringing convenience to our lives. And since last year, Samsung has featured eye-scanning technology in its top smartphones, while Apple’s new iPhone X can even scan a user’s face.Biometrics are good; in prac tice, not so much. when introducing the new iPhone’s Face ID feature ,Phil Schiller, Apple’s senior vice president, said, “The chance that a random person in the population could look at your iPhone X and unlock it with their face is about one in a millio n.” And in a video posted on community website Reddit on Nov 3, two brothers showed how they were each able to unlock the same iPhone X using their own face, Quartz reported. And they aren’t even twins.Anil Jain, a computer science professor found a way to trick biometric security. Using a printed copy of a thumbprint, she could unlock a dead person’s smartphone for police, according to tech website Splinter. “It’s good to see biometrics being used more,” Jain told CBS News, “because it adds another factor for security. But using multiple security measures is the best defence.”28.What is the latest technology to unlock a smartphone according to the article?A.QR code scanning.B.Face scanning.C.Fingerprint scanning.D. Eye scanning.29.What’s a major problem of the iPhone X’s Face ID system?A.It often fails to recognize its owner’s face.B.Different faces could be used to unlock the same phone.C.Face data could be used for other purposes.D.It takes too long to unlock the phone.30.What does Anil Jain think of biometric security?A. It should be used with other security measures.B.It has caused much trouble for police.C.It’s more secure than traditional measures.D. It still needs much improvement.31.The author wrote this article mainly to ______.A.describe the popularity of biometricsB.show how biometrics has changed our livesC. point out various problems with biometricsD. discuss the security problems of biometricsDResearchers in China and the United States have developed a new cataract(白内障)treatment with cells that has restored vision in babies in a trial and may eventually be used in adults. The treatment was published in March 9 edition of the scientific journal Nature.A cataract is a clouding of the normally clear lens(晶体)of an eye. Typical cataract operation involves the removal of the cloudy lens and the insertion of an artificial one. The new operation has been tested in animals and during a small, human trial. It resulted in fewer complications(并发症) and in regrown lenses with superior visual function in all 12 of the baby cataract patients who received the procedure.A congenital cataract- lens clouding that occurs at birth or shortly after- is important cause of blindness in children. In the new research, Kand Zhang, head of ophthal mic genetics at US San Diego’s Shiley Eye Institute, relied on the regrown potential of endogenous(同源的)stem cells.According to Zhang, endogenous stem cells are different from other stem cells that are typically grown in a laboratory. Zhang told CBS News, “We invented a new operation to make a very small opening at the side of a cataractous lens bag, remove the cataract inside, allow the opening to heal, and promote potential lens stem cells to regrow an entirely new lens with vision.”The human trial involved 12 babies under the age of 2 who were treated with the new method, while 25 babies received the standard operation care.
