2021届上海市实验学校高三第一周周考英语试题
上海市实验学校2021届高三第一周周考英语试题II. Grammar and VocabularySection ADirections: After reading the passage below, fill in the blanks to make the passages coherent and grammatically correct. For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word; for the other blanks, use one word that best fits each blank.Last summer, I had just enough money (21) ________ (save) to buy a golden ticket -- a 3-month train pass that would take me to the furthest reaches of Europe. Excited for my journey, I packed all the necessities --- (22) ________ the guidebook.While the convenience of the Internet was definitely (23) ________ contributing factor to my decision not to carry the few expensive kilograms of out-of-date information in my suitcase, this was not the only reason I decided to fly solo.To be honest, my main problem with the guidebook is that I find it limits a journey -- like a bossy aunt (24) ________ is always telling you what to do, although she doesn't always know what is best. Sometimes it's better to read outside the lines. Sometimes it's better not to read any lines at all.Experience has taught me that there is a distinction between a tourist and a traveler. (25) ________ waiting in a queue to see Michelangelo's David in Florence, I met a man who had a checklist. He showed me his list of "Top 20 things to do it Italy" and boasted that he had seen everything Italy had to offer in just four days. The problem that I had with this man's approach to (26) ________ (travel) was that he was focused on ticking the boxes which were provided by his guidebook. He (27) ________ (lose) in the list of the "must-sees" and blind to all that was happening around him.Guidedbook-less (28) ________we were, my companion and I tasted the joy of being a traveler when visiting Estonia, the Baltic country bordering Russia. Arriving on nothing more than a whim(突发的念头), we had no option but (29) ________ (approach) some friendly faces for advice. We introduced ourselves and asked them what was happening around town. When this resulted in an invitation to a beautiful Estonian home by a river (30) ________ we enjoyed a 110-degree wood-stove sauna(桑拿浴), locally picked forest-mushrooms and the good company of our five new-found Estonian friends, we sure were glad we had left our bossy aunt at home.Section BDirections: Fill in each blank with a proper word chosen from the box. Each word can only beIn the 1960s and 1970s, classic social psychological studies were conducted that providedevidence that even normal, decent people can engage in acts of extreme cruelty when instructed to do so by others. However, in an essay published in the open access journal PLOS Biology, Professors Alex Haslam and Stephen Richer revisit these studies' (31) ________ and explain how awful acts involve not just obedience, but enthusiasm too -- (23) ________ the long-held belief that human beings are "programmed" for conformity(一致性).This belief can be traced back to two landmark empirical research programs (33) ________ by Stanley Milgram and Philip Zimbardo in the 1960s and early 1970s. Milgram's "obedience to Authority" research is widely believed to show that people (34) ________ follow the instructions of an authority figure, and Zimbardos Stanford Prison Experiment (SPE) is commonly understood to show that people will take on abusive roles uncritically.However, Professor Haslam, from the University of Queensland, argues that tyranny(暴行)does not result from blind conformity to (35) ________ and roles. Rather, it is a creative act of follower-ship, resulting from (36) ________ with authorities who represent vicious acts as virtuous."Decent people participate in horrific acts not because they become passive, mindless people who do not know what they are doing, but rather because they come to believe - typically under the influence of those in (37) ________ that what they are doing is right, "Professor Haslam explained.Professor Reicher, of the University of St Andrews, added that it is not that they were blind to the evil they were (38) ________, but rather that they knew what they were doing, and believed it to be right.These conclusions were partly informed by Professors Haslam and Reicher's own prison experiment, conducted in 2002 in cooperation with the BBC. The study generated three findings. First, participants did not automatically take their (39) ________ role; second, they only acted in terms of group membership to the extent that they identified with the group; and finally, group identity did not mean that people simply accepted their assigned position -- it also empowered them to resist it.Professor Reicher concludes that tyranny does not flourish because criminals are helpless and (40) ________; it flourished because they are convinced that they are doing something worthy.III. Reading ComprehensionsSection ADirections: For each blank in the following passage, there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.Many procedures are available for obtaining data about a language. They range from a carefully planned, intensive field investigation of a foreign language in a foreign country to a41________ study of one's own mother tongue carried out in an armchair at home. To do this, someone has to act as a 42________ of language data -- an informant. Informants are 43________native speakers of a language who provide words and sentences for analysis and other kinds of information about the language.Many factors must be considered when selecting informants -- whether one is working with a single speaker or more people interacting. Age, sex, social background and other aspects of44________ are important, as these factors are known to influence the type of the 45________ used. The topic of conversation and the characteristics of the social setting are also highly46_________, as are the personal qualities of the informants.Today, researchers often tape-record informants. This enables the linguist's claims about the language to be 47________, and provides a way of making those claims more accurate as difficult pieces of speech can be listened to repeated. But obtaining naturalistic, good-quality data is never easy. People 48________ abnormally when they know they are being recorded, and sound quality can be poor. A variety of tape-recording procedures have thus been devised to 49________ the "observer's paradox", a situation in which people feel strange to each other. Some recordings are made without the speakers being aware of the fact -- a procedure that obtains very natural data, though ethical(道德的)50________ must be expected.51________, attempts can be made to make the speaker forget about the recording, such as keeping the tape-recorder out of sight, or using radio microphones. A useful technique is to introduce a topic that quickly involves the speaker, and stimulates a 52________ language style, like asking older informants about how times have changed in their locality.An audio tape recording does not solve all of the lingust's problems, however. Speech is often ambiguous or unclear. Where possible, therefore, the recording has to be 53________ by the observer's written comments on the non-verbal behavior of the participants , and about the context in general. A 54________ expression, for example, can dramatically alter the meaning of what is said. Video recordings avoid these problems to large extent, but even they have 55________ as the camera cannot be everywhere, and the transcriptions always benefits from any additional commentary provided by an observer.41. A. linguistic B. casual C. familiar D. social42. A. source B. store C. means D. medium43. A. mostly B. naturally C. ideally D. merely44. A. education B. identity C. knowledge D. experience45. A. system B. element C. structure D. language46. A. suitable B. sensitive C. relevant D. flexible47. A. checked B. remembered C. drafted D. organized48. A. judge B. talk C. greet D. act49. A. monitor B. analyze C. guide D. minimize50. A. instruction B. values C. objections D. awareness51. A. Alternatively B. Oddly C. Eventually D. Consequently52. A. familiar B. native C. natural D. certain53. A. transformed B. released C. developed D. supplemented54. A. usual B. facial C. free D. flexible55. A. options B. accusation C. conditions D. limitationsSection BDirections: Read the following two passage. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. 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)As unpleasant emotions go, anxiety is the sketchiest. It's a vague, pit-of-the-stomach dread that sneaks up to you -- that unease you get when your boss says that she needs to talk to you right away, when the phone rings at 4:00 a.m., or when your dentist looks into your mouth and says "Hmmmm" for the third time.Lingering anxiety can keep you up at night, make you irritable, undermine your ability to concentrate, and either ruin your appetite or cause Olympian eating binges. And the constant state of readiness generated by anxiety -- adrenaline pumping, heart racing, palms sweating --- may contribute to high blood pressure and heart disease.How to prevent anxiety then?Meditate, Maybe you're just high-strung. If so, meditation is worth a try. It cultivates a calmness that eases anxious feelings and offers a sense of control. A study at the University of Massachusetts found that volunteers who took an 8-week meditation course were considerably less anxious afterward. People who are high-strung find that they are dramatically calmer with 20 minutes of meditation in the morning and another 20 minutes after dinner.If you've never done meditation, try this technique: Sit quietly in a comfortable position and take a few deep, cleansing breaths to relax your muscles. Then choose a calming word or phrase. (Experts suggest either a word or short phrase with religious significance, or the word one.) Silently repeat the word or phrase for 20 minutes. As you find your thoughts straying, gently return your focus to your repeated word and continue to breathe deeply.Jog, walk, swim, or cycle. If you can't make time for meditation, be sure to make time for regular exercise. Exercise can have the same calming effect as meditation, particularly if it's something repetitive like running or swimming laps.Treatment?Odds are that you learn to handle anxiety better. Here's how.Remember to breathe. When you're anxious, you tend to hold your breath or breathe too shallowly. That makes you feel more anxious. Breathing slowly and deeply can have a calming effect. To make sure that you're breathing correctly, place your hand on your diaphragm(横膈膜), just below your rib cage. Feel it rise with each inhalation and fall with each exhalation.Analyze and act. The antidote(矫正方法)to anxiety is analysis and action. To rid yourself ofthat vague sense of dread, you have to figure out exactly what it is that you dread. Then you can map a plan of action to do something about it. Usually the first step in this action plan is to find out more about the problem.Let's say you are anxious about your competence on the job. Ask yourself, "What, in particular, am I afraid that I'll muff?" Maybe you're afraid that you'll get further behind and miss your deadlines. Or maybe you're worried that you're blowing it whenever you present your ideas in meeting. Are your worries founded? Have you had several near misses with deadlines? Are your suggestions routinely vetoed? If not, the anxiety is needless. If there is a real problem, work on a solution: Pace yourself to better meed deadlines, or join a public speaking class.56. What does the word "sketchiest" in Paragraph One Mean?A. The most uncomfortableB. The least serious.C. The most dreadful.D. The most irritable .57. Which of the following symptoms is NOT directly caused by anxiety?>A. Lower in concentrationB. No appetite.C. Heart racingD. High blood pressure.58. Jog, walk, swim, or cycle is, to a certain extent, similar to meditation because ________A. it can relieve your uneasiness effectively.B. exercise can make anxious people calm.C. doing exercises can relax your muscles.D. it's kind of repetitive exercise.59. Which of the following statements about breath is CORRECT?A. Quick and deep breathing have a calming effect.B. Breathing deeply can calm an anxious person.C. The diaphragm falls with each inhalationD. The rib cage rises with each exhalation.(B)California's new governor, Gavin Newsom, faces an early policy dilemma: whether to take action to expand the rights of workers in the gig economy. Newsom's ailies in organized labor support reform; his technology-industry backers oppose it. A compromise is possible, and that's what Newsom should propose.In the U. S., at least 1.6 million people - Uber and Lyft drivers, repairmen - earn money through online - service platforms. Since they are classified as independent contractors and not employees, these workers do not receive benefits like overtime or sick pay, aren't covered by minimum-wage laws, and lack collective-bargaining rights(集体谈判权).Lawmakers in California are weighting proposals that aim to give independent workers the same benefits as employees. Such mandates(命令), however, risk driving up labor and consumer costs, accelerating automation, and crushing start-ups that want to experiment with new modes ofemployment.Newsom should intervene and there's pressure to act quickly. In a decision last April, the California Supreme Court ruled that Dynamex Operations West, Inc., a same-day courier service, had to satisfy a strict three-part test in order to continue classifying its delivery drivers as independent contractor. Broadly applied, the ruling could force online companies to designate nearly all workers who use their platforms as employees.This might make sense if companies were using large numbers of unprotected freelancers as the equivalent of full-time employees, but that's not the case. Despite the proliferation(激增)of Uber-style apps, recent data shows that the share of U. S. workers in non-traditional jobs has remained steady for the last decade, at around 7 percent. The majority of independent workers don't rely solely on gigs for their livelihoods: They use online platforms to supplement income from other jobs.Tech companies are pushing California's legislature to block the Dynamex standard from becoming statewide law. The industry is right to oppose such sweeping regulations -- but wrong to prevent more limited reforms that could clarify the status of workers in the gig economy and reduce litigation(诉讼)in the process.Newsom should look to strike a deal. He should persuade the tech industry to accept, legislation that gives gig workers more benefits than they currently receive, includinganti-discrimination protections and access to portable benefits, but not the full range of benefits that typically flow to hourly employees, including overtime pay and unemployment insurance. To satisfy demands from labor groups, California could give digital - platform workers organizing right and a way to bargain collectively -- a model the city of Seattle has introduced for domestic workers such as nannies, cleaners and home caregivers.A grand bargain for California's gig economy workers wont' please all sides. But it would avoid serious harm to innovation and work opportunities, and move the issue from the courts to the legislative arena, where it belongs.60. California lawmakers' proposal might bring about________.A. improved labor efficiencyB. increased service pricesC. more job opportunitiesD. new modes of employment61. Which of the following best represents the authors' view on a broad application of the Dynamex standard?A. It accords with tech companies' working process.B. It overlooks full-time employees' legitimate rights.C. It provides a safeguard for freelancers' basic interests.D. It neglects gig's primary role as a source of side income.62. The author holds that it is wise for the tech industry to ________.A. push the Dynamex standard to become state lawB. offer a full range of benefits to independent workersC. substitute gig workers with hourly employeesD. embrace limited legislative protections for gig workers(C)In recent months Google and Facebook have made changes that may escape the notice of most of their billions of users, but not of news organizations. Facebook began displaying the logos of publishers in some of its posts, so readers can identify the news source. And Google for the first time gave publishers the ability to control how many times the search engines' users can visit news sites free of charge. Both Sill directly help papers to sell subscriptions.To critics of the social - media giants, that might look like wolves offering to help the sheep while still feasting on the herd. The business of both Facebook and Alphabet, parent of Google and YouTube, is to occupy people's time and attention with their free services and content, and to sell ads against those eyeballs. For them, quality journalism is just another hook.Facebook calls its "News Feed" offering its most important product, but in recent years it has twisted the feed in ways that de-emphasize actual news, instead prioritizing updates from friends and family over those from publishers. The associated ad revenues for many publishers have been either nominal, in the case of Facebook's fast-loading "instant articles", or as yet mostlynon-existent, in the case of videos they make for the social network. News sites have found they have no choice but to work with the two tech giants, however: Facebook, with its 2bn users, and Google, which directs 10bn clicks a month to publishers, are where their readers are.So there is no confusion about where the power lies. That is unlikely to change much in future, although publishers are fighting back a bit. A union of nearly 2,000 news organizations, the News Media Alliance, is asking Congress for an antitrust exemption to allow publishers to negotiate collectively which the two firms. That the tech giants are making concessions may be because they sense that the political mood is turning against them, or because of genuine concern for the media ecosystem.Media executives at firms that rely more on selling ads than subscriptions are more enthusiastic about Facebook and Google. "We see them as a friend," says Paul Zwillenberg, owner of the Daily Mail. Mail Online has doubled daily visitors and engagement in part by making videos for Facebook and YouTube. That does not mean giving up on direct internet traffic (on which Mail Online can sell ads without sharing revenue with Facebook or Google).But selling digital ads on their own websites is a challenge for most news organizations, in part because of the competition from the duopoly. Facebook and Alphabet will take the majority of all digital - ad revenue globally this year. Their data on user's browsing activities give them a huge advantage in micro - targeting users. Wherever journalism turns, Facebook and Google loom large. Their recent moves, although welcome to many publishers, are unlikely to alter the path of the relationship.63. The underlined phrase (Para.2) most probably means that Google and Facebook are________.A. providing the sources of their news to usersB. hindering newspapers from selling subscriptions.C. using quality journalism to attract attentionD. attempting to take over news organizations64. According to Paragraph 3, in recent years "News Feed" has ________.A. highlighted news updated by journalistsB. favored updates within the circle of friendsC. begun uploading quality news from publishers.D. experienced a serious decline in ad revenues65. The News Media Alliance is mentioned to show that publishers are ________.A. dissatisfied with the free news on social mediaB. worried about the ecosystem of news publishingC. striving to strengthen their competitive forceD. suing the media giants for monopoly behavior66. What is the subject of the text?A. Publishers should fight against the media giants' duopolyB. The digital ads era:Publishers' fortune or misfortune?C. Publishers have no choice but to work with the media giantsD. Social media or publisher:Who has the power?Section CDirections: Read the passage carefully. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box.Although many companies offer tuition reimbursement(偿付), most companies reimburse employees only for classes that are relevant to their positions. ________67________ A company that reimburses employees for all college credit courses --- whether job related or not --- offers service not only to the employees, but to the entire company.One good reason for giving employees unconditional tuition reimbursement is that it shows the company's dedication to its employees and it is important for a company to demonstrate to its employees that it cares. The best way to do this is make investment in them.________68________ A company that puts out funds to pay for the education of itsemployees will get its money back by having employees stay with the company longer. It will reduce employee turnover(流动), because even employees who don't take advantage of tuition reimbursement programs will be more devoted to their company, just knowing that their company cares enough to pay for their education.Although companies do indeed run the risk of losing money on employees who go on to another job in a different company as soon as they get their degree, more often than not, the employees will stay with the company. ________69________ Thus, throughout those years, the employer will have a more sophisticated, more intelligent, and therefore more valuable and productive employee. And, if the employee stays, that education will doubly benefit the company: Not only is the employee more educated, but now that employee can be promoted so the company doesn't have to fill a high-level vacancy from the outside. ________70________.Though unconditional tuition reimbursement requires a significant investment on the employer's part, it is perhaps one of the wisest investments a company can make.第II卷IV. Summary WritingDirections: Read the following three passages. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.For decades, it has been common practice for rich countries to give aid to their poor counterparts. However, in recent years there has been a growing belief that international aid could be harmful to the recipients. I agree that giving aid to poor countries could do more harm than good.It is true that foreign aid has some benefits. Poor countries can use financial aid to build infrastructure such as roads and schools, thereby facilitating economic growth. Millions of Africans now have access to clean water wells, built with aid money, when previously many of them got sick drinking filthy water. When natural disasters strike poor countries, it is common for the international community to send medical assistance and food to them, thus helping to relieve the suffering of those affected and save lives.However, international aid has far more drawbacks. Around the globe poor countries are often troubled by poor governance, and it is likely that aid to these countries will end up being embezzled(盗用)by corrupt officials, rather than bringing real, concrete benefits to people in need. In war-torn areas, financial assistance may even be used to purchase weapons and in effect fuel conflicts. Foreign aid also has the effect of disrupting the local markets of the recipient countries. When farmers can receive free food on a regular basis they may lose the incentives to grow food on their own. This will hinder the growth of the food industry and create a culture of dependence that is harmful to a country's long-term development.In summary, although international aid does have its positive aspects, these remain limited in both scope and scale. In many cases, giving aid to poor countries often defeats its purpose, andgovernments the world over should be prudent(审慎的)when it comes to sending and receiving aid.V. TranslationDirections: Translate the following sentences into English, using the words given in the brackets.1. 在成长的道路上面对各种挫折和诱惑,我们必须不忘初心。

【英语】河南省中牟县第一高级中学2019届高三上学期第十次双周考英语试卷
2018-2019学年高三年级第十次双周考英语试题卷出题人:赫伟玲李庆国审题人:夏燕茹郑纪英AI was sure that I was to be killed. I became terribly nervous. I fumbled(摸索) in my pockets to see if there were any cigarettes, which had escaped their search.I found one and because of my shaking hands, I could barely get it to my lips. But I had no matches; they had taken those. I looked through the bars at the guard. He did not make eye contact with me. I called out to him “Have you got a light?” He looked at me, shrugged and came over to light my cigarette. As he came close and lit the match, his eyes unconsciously locked with mine. At that moment, I smiled. I don't know why I did that. Perhaps it was nervousness; perhaps it was because, when you get very close, one to another, it is very hard not to smile. In any case, I smiled. In that instant, it was as though a spark jumped across the gap between our two hearts, our two human souls. I know he didn't want to, but my smile leaped through the bars and caused a smile on his lips, too. He lit my cigarette but stayed near, looking at me directly in the eyes and continuing to smile.I kept smiling at him, now thinking of him as a person and not just a guard. “Do you have kids?” he asked. “Yes, here, here.” I took out my wallet and nervously fumbled for the pictures of my family. He, too, took out the pictures of his family and began to talk about his plans and hopes for them. My eyes were filled with tears.I said that I feared that I'd never see my family again, never have the chance to see them grow up. Tears came to his eyes, too. Suddenly, without another word, he unlocked my cell and silently led me out. Out of the prison, quietly and by back routes, out of the town. There, at the edge of town, he released me. And without another word, he turned back toward the town.21.What had happened to the man before?A.He had been badly treated. B.He had killed someone.C.He had been searched. D.He had been forbidden to get in touch with anyone. 22.Why did the man want to smoke cigarettes?A.Because he was sure he was to be killed. B.Because he wanted to ease his nervousness.C.Because he wanted to talk to the guard. D.Because he was used to smoking cigarettes.23.Which of the following is true according to the passage?A.The man was a heavy smoker.B.The man smiled to please the guard.C.The guard set the man free with permission.D.The man hadn't thought the guard would set him free.24.What do you think finally saved the man's life?A.The smile. B.The cigarette. C.The tears. D.The wallet.BThe editor of the new Cool Camping Britain guide chooses some of his favorite new finds in England, Wales and Scotland.Cleadale, Isle of Eigg, Inner HebridesIs this Britain’s most beautiful campsite?From the grassy point looking seaward to the mountains, it’s not ha rd for campers to see how the island inspired The Lord of the Rings author’s fantasy landscapes. The campsite itself is as wild and wonderful as its setting.Open April — September, from £5 per tent per night.Swattesfield, Thornham Magna, SuffolkDeep in the wilds of north Suffolk, this seven-acre campsite has only been open for a few years, with two fields separated by a lake and surrounded by woodland. The position is perfect. It’s a great place to do nothing but get into nature. You can put up your tent in the bottom field or the woodland beyond.Open Easter —October, from £10 per tent per night.Pleasant Streams Farm, near St Austell, CornwallThis site, by a lake, is all about simple pleasures. Located in the former mining village, it has a summerhouse(凉亭)with books and games for a rainy day. There are many animals including pigs, hens, goats and ducks on the farm and a pub just a 10- mi nute stroll away. There’s very little to do here, no bells and no whistles. Campfires are encouraged.Open Easter — September, from £10 per tent per night.Troytown Campsite, St Agnes, Isles of SciilyIts only campsite, Troytown, couldn’t be in a more remote position. Isolation is its greatest advantage —so bring plenty of books to read and don’t expect a phone signal. But at least one of life’s necessities is available. Lying on the hillside overlooking the bay and near the island of the Gugh, it might just win the prize for best beer garden view in England.Open March-- October, from £7. 50 per tent per night,25. Which of the following is TRUE about Cleadale, Isle of Eigg, Inner Hebrides?A. It has been open for a few years.B. A beautiful lake surrounds it.C. It offers the longest service.D. The rent of a tent per night is the lowest.26. Which place can you choose if you like a simple farm life?A. Cleadale, Isle of Eigg, Inner Hebrides.B. Swattesfield, Thornham Magna, Suffolk.C. Pleasant Streams Farm, near St Austell, Cornwall.D. Troytown Campsite, St Agnes, Isles of Scilly.27. In Troytown Campsite, St Agnes, Isles of Scilly, you can’t ________.A. contact others by phonesB. view the bay from the hillsideC. get everyday necessitiesD. relax yourself by readingCAustralia,the last continent,was discovered by ships belonging to some European nations in the seventeenth century, these nations were less interested in changing it into a colony(殖民地)than in exploring(勘探)it.As in the early history of the United States,it was the English who set up the settlements(新拓展地) in Australia.This history and the geography of these two British colonies have some other things in common as well.Australia and the United States are about the same in size,and their western lands are both not rich in soil.It was the eastern coast of Australia and America that the English first settled, and both colonies soon began to develop towards the west.However,this westward movement took place more because the English weresearching for better land than because the population was increasing.Settlements of the western part of both countries developed quickly after gold was discovered in America in 1849and in Australia two years later.Although the development of these two countries has a lot in common,these are some striking differences as well.The United States gained its independence from England by revolution while Australia won its independence without having to go to war.Australia, unlike the United States,was firstly turned into a colony by English prisoners and its economic development was in wheat growing and sheep raising.By 1922,for example, Australia had fifteen times more sheep than it had people,or almost half as many sheep as the people there in the United States.Yet,in spite of these and other main differences, Australia and the United States have more in common with each other than either one has with most of the rest of the world.28. Who turned Australia into a colony?A.Britain. B.Several European countries.C.The United States of America. D.None of the above.29. In the early history of America and Australia,both colonies developed towardsthe west firstly for the reason that .A.the population was increasing rapidly in the eastB.the English thought there might be richer land thereC.gold was discovered thereD.fewer people lived there30. In the early 1920s .A.Australia had one fifteenth as many people as sheepB.there were more sheep in Australia than in the United StatesC.the population in Australia was greater than that of the United States D.the United States had twice as many sheep as people31. The last sentence in the last paragraph “Australia and the United States havemore in common with each other than either one has with most of the rest of the world” meansA.the United States and Australia do not have any main differencesB.the United States and Australia have much more in common than they have with other countriesC.the United States and Australia have nothing in common with the rest of the worldD.in common with the rest of the world, the United States and Australia havea lot of differencesDTo a large degree,the measure of our peace of mind is determined by how much we are able to live in the present moment. In spite of what happened yesterday or last year, and what may or may not happen tomorrow, the present moment is where you are—always!Without question, many of us have mastered the neurotic (神经兮兮的)art of spending much of our lives worrying about a variety of things—all at once. We allow past problems and future concerns to dominate our present moments, so much that we end up anxious, frustrated, depressed, and hopeless. On the other hand, we also delay our happiness, often convincing ourselves that "someday" will be much better than today. Unfortunately, the same mental dynamics that tell us to look foward to the future will only repeat themselves so that "someday" never actually arrives. John Lennon once said,"Life is what is happening while we are busy making other plans. " When we are busy making " other plans" ,our children are busy growing up,the people we love are moving away and dying, our bodies are getting out of shape, and our dreams are slipping away. In short, we miss out on life.Many people live as if life were a dress rehearsal(排演;预演) for some late date. It isn't. In fact, no one has a guarantee that he or she will be here tomorrow. Now is the only time we have,and the only time that we have any control over. When our attention is in the present moment, we push fear from our minds. Fear is the concern over events that might happen in the future—we won’t have enough money,our children will get into trouble, we will get old and die, whatever.To combat fear,the best strategy is to learn to bring your attention back to the present. Mark Twain said, “I have been through some terrible things in my life,some of which actually happened.” I don't think I can say it any better. Practice keeping your attention on here and now. Your efforts will pay off.32 .In the first paragraph, the author tells us to focus on_________.A. the pastB. the futureC. every dayD. the present33 .Why do we often have some negative feelings?A. Because we often forget what happened in the past.B.Because we are often disturbed by what happened in the past and what will happenin the future.C.Because we often pay attention to what is happening at present.D. Because we often ignore what will happen in the future and what happened in the past.34. The underlined word in the last paragraph means ________A.dependB. deserveC. determineD. defeat35. The best title of this passage is___________A.Always live in the present momentB.Never forget the pastC.Never complain about lifeD.Always get prepared for the future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。

ASmog has affected Beijing for at least a week and the Great Hall of the People, where lawmakers will meet next week for the country’s parliamentary session(人大会议), is hardly visible. Much of north and central China, or one-seventh of the country, was covered in it over the weekend.Responses have included reduced industrial activities, a ban on fireworks and barbecues, raised pollution alerts and reduced vehicles travelling on the roads. Citizens are advised to stay indoors while schools have either stopped classes or suspended outdoor activities.And Chinese officials, after a long period of prioritizing economic development over environmental protection, are now likely to see their future career shaped by how effectively they handle the serious pollution.“Even as a foreigner, I know the pollution has a lot to do with too much focus on economic indicators(指标)in evaluating Chinese officials,” said Florian Kessler, an executive(执行的)director with German law firm WZR Consulting. The German executive speaks fluent Chinese, loves Beijing food and is a big fan of Beijing Guo‟an Football Club, b ut after staying in the city for eight years, he now wants to leave. “Since I smoke, I‟m okay with the pollution, but I can‟t let my kid breathe in the polluted air. That‟s why I‟m leaving,” Kessler explained.He also said that German companies operating in Beijing, such as BMW, Benz and V olkswagen, have all had a hard time finding staff willing to work here.China has repeated in the past that we would not follow the old path of industrialized nations to develop first and deal with pollution afterward. But the smog is an awkward reminder that our country is already on that path. Whether we can change route depends on the choice Chinese officials make between environment and growth in the years ahead.21. These are the reasons for smog except _______.A. industrial activitiesB. fireworksC. outdoor activitiesD. vehicles22. Florian Kessler considered the pollution had much to do with _________.A. citizensB. Chinese governmentC. schoolsD. smokers23. Why do those German companies mentioned in the passage have a hard time?A. Because it is hard for them to find staff who like working here.B. Because they have kids.C. Because they lack money.D. Because Chinese officials don‟t like them.24. Which statement below is NOT TRUE according to the passage?A. Smog has affected much of north and central China over the weekend.B. Due to smog, schools must stop classes.C. Chinese offi cials didn‟t pay enough attention to the environment protection.D. Like many other nations, China has to deal with pollution, too.25. What‟s the author‟s purpose to write this passage?A. To announce that smog has stayed in Beijing for more than a week.B. To state the responses of the people.C. To state the tips of surviving smog.D. To appeal to the Chinese government to protect the environment.BAs young Chinese increasingly forget how to write characters because they don‟t ha ve to, using keyboards and touch screen technology on mobile phones is changing the trend.For Yin Liang, a 26-year-old purchasing agent at a company, his embarrassment over forgetting how to write characters has gradually disappeared since he started to use the handwriting input method on his iPhone 4 a month ago.“When you write on the touch screen, you use your finger, instead of a mouse or keyboard,” Yin says.“Actually, your finger is like a pen, writing the complicated characters that have long been spelled by pinyin, an alphabet-based input system. Whether typing on computers or texting on phones, most users in China type by phonetically (按照发音地)spelling out the sounds of the characters and the software then gives a menu of characters that fit the pronunciation, so users only need to recognize the character.Handwriting technology on a mobile phone touch screen has been around for years and became popular with the iPhone, which recognizes the input and offers a wide selection of characters.“It‟s efficient and accurate,” Yin says.Chinese characters are the oldest continuously used system of writing in the world, but as pinyin-based typing has become more widespread, youths have started forgetting how to write out characters. This was one of the main topics for debate at the first Cross-Straits Chinese Character Art Festival, held recently in Beijing, which attracted experts from Taiwan and the mainland.According to Zhang Zikang, president of the Culture and Art Publishing House, writing with a pen on the touch screen brings handwriting into the digital age. It is even better when you write with your finger, feeling the flow of the cursive script(草写体)and the grace and art of Chinese characters, he says.“Smart gadgets(小装置)don‟t take life from the square-shaped characters, instead they offer a new and advanced platform to show the charm of Chinese characters, which are always evolving,” Zhang says.26. Which way is not mentioned in the passage to input characters on the phone?A. Taking pictures.B. Using a kind of alphabet-based input system.C. Spelling out the sounds of the characters.D. Using their fingers as pens to write.27. The passage probably can be seen in a ________.A. novelB. science fictionC. magazineD. fairy tale28. What does “one of the main topics for debate” in paragraph 7 refer to?A. Chinese characterB. Chinese traditional artC. Iphone used by youthsD. Youths‟ forgetting how to write out characters.29. What will happen to characters as smart gadgets appear?A. The writing of characters will be not important.B. Characters will disappear sooner or later.C. Characters can be only written with your finger.D. Characters will be still attractive by evolving.CWho won China‟s first gold medal at the 2014 Sochi Wint er Olympics? It was Li Jianrou. The 27-year-old finished first in the women‟s 500m short track speed skating on Feb 13. The race was full of drama. Three athletes fell over because of an accident caused by Elise Christie of Britain in the second turn and Li became the surprise winner.Three-time defending champion Wang Meng of China missed the Olympics after breaking her ankle last month. Li had little experience in the race, where getting off to a quick Start is important. But she kept her cool while everyone else was falling around her.“I feel very lucky,” Li said through a translator.She and one of her coaches cried tears of joy after China joined South Korea as the only countries to win the same short track event four Olympics in a row. The Koreans won the 3,000 relay in 1994, 1998, 2002 and 2006.“I cried because I was so excited,” Li said. “My coach told me this medal is for Wang Meng as well, so I felt very moved.”Li‟s victory made up for the surprising fall of teammate Fan Kexin in the semifinals. In the semis, Fan didn‟t even complete the first lap of the race, catching her left blade(冰刀)as she skated near the front. She crashed on all fours into the crew of workers who maintain the ice between races. They climbed onto the top of th e pads to avoid being injured by Fan‟s long, sharp blades.Arianna Fontana of Italy took the silver and Park Seung-hi of South Korea earned the bronze.30. Who made a mistake causing three athletes to fall over in the final?A. Li JianrouB. Elise ChristieC. Arianna FontanaD. Fan Kexin31. Which country won the women‟s 500m short track event 4 Olympics in a row as well as China?A. ItalyB. JapanC. BritainD. South Korea32. Which statement below is tree according to the passage?A. Li Jianrou won China‟s first gold medal at Winter Olympics.B. Wang Meng missed the Olympics because of an injury.C. Fan Kexin was injured by long, sharp blades.D. South Korea ranked second in the event.DThe British MuseumDescription:The British Museum is a museum in London, which is one of the world‟s greatest museums of human history and culture.

The museum is a non-departmental public body sponsored(赞助)by the Department for Culture, Media and Sport. Since 2002 the director of the museum has been Neil MacGregor.

(A)Shows that are all about movies.“Film spotting”“Film spotting” has been producing weekly programs of insightful film analysis since 2005. Episodes typically begin with an in-depth discussion of one major new theatrical release. A reliable highlights is a Massacre Theater, in which the hosts gamely re-enact(重演)a scene and invite listeners to guess which movie it is from.“How did these get made?”The actors Paul Scheer, June Diane Raphael and Jason Mantzoukas host this discussion that doesn’t aim to pile hate on bad films so much as make detailed fun of them but try to figure out how they came to be. The hosts are so attractive that the commentary doesn’t come off as negative; even when they discuss true duds, their real love of movies shines through.“The Rewatchables”“The Rewatchables” taps into the universal joy of revisiting a favorite movie,and the less universal joy of doing it with a bunch of deeply knowledgeable friends. Each episode finds Bill Simmons, host of the show, and a cast of guests examining a movie that may not be an obvious classic, but is a culturally significant film that you have likely seen at least once.“Scripetnotes”Billed as a show about “screenwriting and things that are interesting to screen writers”, “Scripetnotes” offers specific advice on screenwriting. The show’s regular Three Page Challenge, in which the two hosts, Craig Mazin and John August, comment on the sample of an audience- submitted screenplay, is invaluable whether you are an ambitious screenwriter or a curious film fan.1.What is the most interesting part of the “Film Spotting”?A.Re-enacting a new theoretical release.B.Involving people in guessing movies.C.Reviewing culturally significant films.D.Acting with the audience-submitted screenplay.2.What does the show hosted by Bill Simmons focus on?A.Revisiting popular filmsB.Making remarks on bad filmsC.Recommending worth-watching classicsD.Exploring the way the film business works.m3.Which show will be especially attractive to film writers?A. “Scripetnotes”B. “Film spotting”C. “The Rewatchables”D. “How did these get made”(B)Having a learning disability doesn’t mean you can’t learn,but you’ll need some help and need to work extra hard.If you have a learning disability such as dyslexia or dyscalculia,remember that you are not slow or stupid.Learning disabilities can be genetic.That means they can be passed down in families through the genes.But kids today have an advantage over their parents.Learning experts now know a lot more about the brain and how learning works,and it’s easier for kids to get the help they need.Dyslexia is a learning disability that means a kid has a lot of trouble reading and writing.Kids who have trouble with math may have dyscalculia.Other kids may have language disorders,meaning they have trouble understanding language and understanding what they read.It can be confusing,though.What qualifies as“trouble” enough to be diagnosed as a learning disability?Reading,doing math,and writing letters may be tough for lots of kids at first.But when those troubles don’t

disability.(C)Dream in HeartOn the first day of school our professor introduced a new classmate—a wrinkled little old lady—to us.Her name was Rose,and she was eighty-seven years old.After class Rose and I walked to the Student Union Building and shared a chocolate milk-shake.She told me she always dreamed of having a college education and now she was getting one.We became instant friends.Every day for the following months,we would leave class together and talk nonstop.I was always attracted,listening to this “time machine” as she shared her wisdom and experience with me.Rose became famous and easily made friends wherever she went.She tended to be highly motivated,responsible,and deeply involved in class participation.In spare time she had someone hang out or go to bars with.She even participated in some form of athletic activity.She said that extra-curricular activities could form a vital part of her experience,creating unique chances for friendship and learning.At the end of the term we invited Rose to speak at our football meal.A little embarrassed,she leaned into the microphone and simply said,“I’m sorry I’m so nervous.” As we laughed,shecleared her throat and began,“We do not stop playing because we are old;we grow old because we stop playing.There is a huge difference between growing old and growing up.If you’re nineteen years old and lie in bed fo r one full year,you will turn twenty.If I’m eighty-seven years old and stay in bed for a year,I will turn eighty-eight.Anybody can grow older.It’s non-optional but that doesn’t take any talent or ability.The idea is to grow up by always finding the chance in change.In this way the elderly don’t have regrets for what they did,but rather for things they did not do.” Rose concluded her speech by courageously singing The Rose.She challenged us to study the words of the song and lived them out in daily lives.At the year’s end Rose finished the college degree she had begun all those years ago.One week after graduation Rose died peacefully in her sleep.Over two thousand college students attended her funeral in honor of the wonderful woman who taught us by example that it’s never too late to be all you can possibly be.1.Why does the author compare Rose to the “time machine” in Paragraph 2?A.To stress her old age and knowledge of life.B.To describe the close friendship between them.C.To show that she always enjoyed her active life.D.To explain why she took on a challenge in college.2.Rose was invited to speak at the football meal most probably because .A.she was a great football fanB.she was the smartest studentC.she tried hard to achieve her dreamD.she became more educated than the others3.We can learn that Rose agreed with the idea that .A.growing old means growing upB.it takes talent and ability to grow upC.receiving high education helps to be courageousD.one grows old at the same time when he grows up4.The passage is intended to .A.provide an example for the elderlyB.discuss how to grow up quicklyC.tell the importance of attending collegeD.inspire the readers to live up to lives(D)I first met Paul Newman in 1968,when George Roy Hill,the director of Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid,introduced us in New York City.When the studio didn’t want me for the film— it wanted somebody as well known as Paul — he stood up for me.I don’t know how many people would have done that;they would have listened to their agents or the studio powers.The friendship that grew out of the experience of making that film and The Sting four years later had its root in the fact that although there was an age difference,we both came from a tradition of theater and live TV.We were respectful of craft(技艺)and focused on digging into the characters we were going to play.Both of us had the qualities and virtues that are typical of American actors:humorous,aggressive,and making fun of each other —but always with an underlying affection.Those were also at the core (核心)of our relationship off the screen.We shared the belief that if you’re fortunate enough to have success,you should put something back—he with his Newman’s Own food and his Hole in the Wall camps for kids who are seriously ill,and me with Sundance and the institute and the festival.Paul and I didn’t see each other all that regularly,but sharing that brought us together.We supported each other financially and by showing up at events.I last saw him a few months ago.He’d been in and out of the hospital.He and I both knew what the deal was,and we didn’t talk about it.Ours was a relationship that didn’t need a lot of words.1.Why was the studio unwilling to give the role to the author at first?A.Paul Newman wanted it.B.The studio powers didn’t like his agent.C.He wasn’t famous enough.D.The director recommended someone else.2.Why did Paul and the author have a lasting friendship?A.They were of the same age.B.They worked in the same theater.C.They were both good actors.D.They had similar characteristics.3.What does the underlined word“that”in paragraph3refer to?A.Their belief.B.Their care for children.C.Their success.D.Their support for each other.4.What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?A.To show his love of films.B.To remember a friend.C.To introduce a new movie.D.To share his acting experience.第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

I feel it is my responsibility, as a mother of two little girls, to lead you down a path that is relatively healthy when it comes to beauty and self-image. In a lot of women’s eyes, I’ve probably already failed in this aspect due to a lot of pink Barbie dolls in Vera’s room right now.But I will say this about Barbie dolls: I played with Barbie dolls for many years when I was growing up and here I have a healthy body and a positive image. I have a master’s degree, a successful career and a published book. If Barbie dolls were really so damaging to my femininity(女人气质) and self-image, I highly doubt whether I could list all of these achievements.It’s hard for women not to worry about our weight or to wish we could afford more stylish clothes. It’s hard not to want someone else’s hair or eyelashes. We women go round and round in circles, holding hands and trying to be one another sometimes. The thing I’ll tell you is this: not even the prettiest of us feel settled. The girl you think looks the most perfect in all the world is probably the girl who wants to change herself more than anyone else.Don’t let that message carry any weight within yourselves. You are not worthless. You are so full of love and light and you should let it shine through your every second. If someone pushes you down for standing tall then just push yourself back up and stand even taller, and know that the reason why they pushed you down in the first place is just that they’re scared. I want to tell you that I have never in my life felt more beautiful than when I have stood my tallest.24. What does the author think about Barbie dolls?A. They did no harm to her image.B. They enable her to achieve a lot.C. They prevented her development.D. They contributed to her promotion.25. What can we learn from the third paragraph?A. It’s women’s nature to be envious.B. It’s easy to read women’s thoughts.C. Women like to be close to each other.D. Women tend to pursue a perfect appearance.26. What does the author suggest her daughters do?A. Try to be the most beautiful.B. Stand tall with love and toughness.C. Compare themselves with others to improve.D. Push others down on the way to be the tallest.27. What’s the author’s purpose in writing the letter?A. To tell her daughters what real beauty is.B. To warn her daughters of the trouble in life.C. To share with her daughters all her experience.D. To persuade her daughters to follow her example.CIf conditions get bad enough, almost any kind of weather can become a storm.Stormy weather can cause people to cancel their plans. It can cause major events to be postponed. And severe stormy weather can be dangerous to people, fortune and animals.If you weather the storm, or ride out the storm, you survive and move on without harm or injury. For example, let’s talk about Tornado Alley, the name for part of the central United States. During springtime, this area often has a large number of powerful tornadoes. People who live there are taught to shelter in the safest place they can find and wait for the storm to pass. People who live in Tornado Alley are used to weathering many storms!You can also weather a storm, but it doesn’t involve actual weather. “To weather the storm” can also mean making it through a difficult experience or trying times. So,if the stock market crashes, you might have to weather a financial storm.Often before a big storm, conditions are calm. The calm before the storm can happen anytime. It is the time before something bad happens. For example, at the beginning of a family reunion, the adults were all talking happily. But the older children knew it was just the calm before the storm. They’ve seen it happen before. The adults talk happily for about an hour. Then they start arguing about events from the past — things that should really stay buried!But after the storm begins and you find yourself in the middle of it, you are in the eye of the storm. In the world of weather, the eye of the storm is the calmest part, in the center of a hurricane, for example.However, in the English language, if you are in the eye of the storm, you are in the most serious part of a conflict. For example, she had no idea that walking into the meeting would put her in the eye of the storm.However, a brainstorm does not exist in the world of weather. To brainstorm means to try to solve a problem by talking with other people. And don’t worry. If we have trouble thinking of an idea for the next program, we can always brainstorm with you !28. The third and fourth paragraphs are developed _______.A. By making contrastB. By presenting dataC. By analyzing cause and effectD. By giving examples29. Why does the author mention a family reunion in the fifth paragraph?A. To stress the importance of weather forecast.B. To emphasize the awareness of family.C. To clarify the calm before the storm.D. To praise the older children for being clever.30. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A. A problem can’t be solved if you worry too much.B. A brainstorm often appears in the world of weather.C. Difficulties can be dealt with by teamwork.D. To brainstorm can cause troubles in the program.31. What’s the author’s purpose in writing the text?A. To persuadeB. To informC. To advertiseD. To amuseDThe mass death of flying foxes in extreme heat in North Queensland last month underlines the importance of University of Queensland wildlife research released today. The UQ research sheds light on how various species have responded to major climate events.A study led by UQ School of Earth and Environmental Science researcher Dr Sean Maxwell has spent more than 70 years recording the responses of various species.“The growing frequency and intensity of extreme weather events such as cyclones(飓风), droughts and floods is causing unpredictable and immediate changes to ecosystems and blocking existing management efforts,” Dr Maxwell said. “Some of the negative responses we recorded were quite concerning, including more than 100 cases of dramatic population declines and 31 cases of local population extinction following an extreme event.”"Critically endangered bird species in Hawaii, such as the palia, have been annihilated due to drought, leaving none of its kind, and lizard species have been wiped out due to cyclones in the Bahamas."Cyclones were the most common extreme event for birds, fish, plants and reptiles, while mammals (哺乳动物) and amphibians were most responsive to drought events, with drought leading to 12 cases of major population decline in mammals. Drought also led to 13 cases of breeding declines in bird populations and 12 cases of changes in the composition of invertebrate communities.UQ Centre for Biodiversity and Conservation Science director Professor James Watson said the detailed information would help affect ecosystem management.“The research clearly shows species will respond, often negatively, to extreme events,” Professor Watson said. “As climate change continues to ensure extreme climate and weather events are more and more common, we now need to act to ensure species have the best chance to survive. Wherever possible,high quality and complete habitat areas should be preserved, as these are the places where species are most resilient (易恢复的) to increasing exposure to extreme events.”32. How was the UQ research conducted?A. By observing extreme weather events.B. By protecting the endangered species.C. By recording reactions of animals to extreme climate.D. By analyzing the reason why mass animal death happened.33. What does the underlined word “annihilated” in paragraph 4 probably mean?A. destroyedB. declinedC. decreasedD. distinct34. Which of the following sentences is true about extreme weather events?A. Drought caused 13 cases of extinction in bird populations.B. Drought caused 12 cases of population decline in mammals.C. Birds and mammals are most responsive to cyclones.D. Cyclones wiped out populations of lizard.35. What is the best title of the passage?A. UQ Wildlife ResearchB. Extreme Weather Events are ThreateningC. Ecosystem Management CountsD. Negative Responses to extreme weather events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。

A.Eating junk food can make us fat.B.Researchers got different results after repeating the tests to fat rats.C.For a long time,we’ve believed that people become fat becau se they are lazy.D.If you constantly feel tired or study too hard,you need to pay attention to your diet.B(2017·二模)Blind imitation(模仿) is selfdestruction.To those who do not recognize their unique worth,imitation appears attractive;to those who know their strength,imitation is unacceptable.In the early stages of skill or character development,imitation is helpful.When I first learned to cook,I used recipes(菜谱) and turned out some tasty dishes.But soon I grew bored.Why follow someone else’s way of cooking when I could create my own?Imitating role models is like using training wheels on a child’s bicycle;they help you get going,but once you find your own balance,you fly faster and farther without relying on them.In daily life,imitation can hurt us if we subconsciously(下意识地) hold poor role models.If,as a child,you observed people whose lives were bad,you may have accepted their fear and pain as normal and gone on to follow what they did.If you do not make strong choices for yourself,you will get the results of the weak choices of others.In the field of entertainment,our culture glorifies celebrities.Those stars look great on screen.But when they step off screen,their personal lives may be disastrous.If you are going to follow someone,focus on their talent,not their bad character or unacceptable behaviors.Blessed is the person willing to act on their sudden desire to create something unique.Think of the movies,books,teachers,and friends that have affected you most deeply.They touched you because their creations were motivated by inspiration,not desperation.The world is changed not by those who do what has been done before them,but by those who do what has been done inside them.Creative people have an endless resource of ideas.The problem a creator faces is not running out of material;it is what to do with all the material knocking at the door of imagination.Study your role models,accept the gifts they have given,and leave behind what does not serve you.Then you can say,“I stand on the shoulders of my ancestors’ tragedies and declare victory,and know that they are cheering me on.”6.Imitation proves useful when you .A.know you are uniqueB.lose the balance of lifeC.begin to learn something newD.get tired of routine practice7.To avoid the bad result of imitation,we should . A.forget daily fear and painB.choose the right exampleC.ask others for decisionsD.stay away from stars8.According to the author,the world moves on because of those who are .A.desperate to influence others with their knowledgeB.ready to turn their original ideas into realityC.eager to discover what their ancestors didD.willing to accept others’ ideas9.The trouble a creator faces is .A.the lack of strong motivationB.the absence of practical ideasC.how to search for more materialsD.how to use imagination creatively 10.What is the author’s purpose in writing this passage? A.To highlight the importance of creativity.B.To criticize the characters of role models.C.To compare imitation with creation.D.To explain the meaning of success.答案精析高考高频单词与短语识记排查跟踪训练Ⅰ.1.hungry 2.bitterly 3.fried 4.coffees 5.heatⅡ.6.D [考查固定短语。

高中英语真题:实验高中2016届高三2月13日周测考试试题.doc一、阅读理解(共4题)1.ReviewsCultual Breaks by Brian AldissReviewed by Paul KincaidBrian Aldiss is an amazing and frustrating writer. When he is on song, his style is forceful, disturbing and delectable. But he is a restless writer. He came into his own in the enthusiastic and experimental atmosphere of the New Wave, and he has been driven to try the new and the different ever since. That he is still experimenting now, 50 years after his first appearance, is a measure of a man who has never been prepared to settle back on his laurels.The Secrets of Jin-Shei by Alma AlexanderReviewed by Donna McMahonWith so many fantasy novels using European-derived settings and mythology, ancient China makes a refreshing change. The landscape is tempting and yet familiar enough to feel very real, and the author uses magic sparingly, in ways appropriate to her society. This and the complex detail put into the backdrop makes the novel feel very much like historical fiction.Straken by T erry BrooksReviews by Nathan BrazilThe third novel in the High Druid of Shannara series jumps straight back into the story where it left off. It continues the quest of unlikely hero Penderrin Ohmsford. Now equipped with the means to break in – and back out- of the Forbidding, where his aunt, the overthrown Ard Phys of Druids, is stranded, Pen must first get back to Paranor. His rescue attempt can only begin from within the chamber where Grianne Ohmsford disappeared. Unfortunately, this will deliver him straight into the hands of those responsible for his aunt’s disappearance.21.The reviewer admires Brian Aldiss’ ability to ___________.A. write so many novelsB. continue to be inventive in his writingC. write disturbing plotsD. have a writing career spanning over four decades22. Why does the setting of Jin-Shei appeal to the reviewer?A. It is a good science of fiction setting.B. It is mysterious.C. It is a less common choice of setting.D. It is very magical.23. Terry Brook’s novel continues a series on ___________.A. the adventures of an unsuspecting hero and his attempts to rescue his auntB. a quest about the High Druid of Shannara in a secret chamber in ParanorC. the disappearance of a druid which foils the plans of the enemiesD. liberating a stranded aunt who is key to the knowledge of theForbidding2.More than nine out of 10 young people expose themselves to the blue light from smartphones before bed, causing problems with sleep. A new survey also shows more than 28 million people in the UK regularly get no more than seven hours sleep a night. Prof Richard Wiseman, who commissioned the YouGov poll described the findings as "extremely worrying". Of the 2,149 adults questioned, 78% said they used electronicdevices before going to bed. This rose to 91% among the 18 to 24-year-olds questioned in the survey.Getting less than seven hours sleep a night is below the recommended guidelines, and is associated with a range of problems, including an increased risk of weight gain, heart attacks, diabetes and cancer. "The blue light from these devices suppresses(压制)the production of the sleep-inducing hormone melatonin, so it's important to avoid them before bed time," said Prof Richard Wiseman, from the University of Hertfordshire.Everyone needs different amounts of sleep, but adults are generally thought to require a minimum of seven to eight hours a night. Teenagers are recommended to get more, about nine hours. The proportion(比例)of people thought to be getting too little sleep had risen by a fifth since a "bedroom poll" conducted last year by the National Sleep Foundation.Last week revealed opticians were warning that overuse of smartphones may be increasing people's risk of eye damage. Optician Andy Hepworth said: "Blue violet light is potentially harmful to the back of your eyes. "So over a long period of time it can damage your eyes. When you're looking at a smart phone, the light peaking out of that is blue violet. The news came as a survey of 2,000 people suggests under-25s check their phones 32 times a day.24. The purpose of the passage is to ________________________.A. stress that people don’t use smartphone s.B. remind people of enough sleep.C. ask people not sleep too much.D. tell people not to use smartphones before bed25. Which of the following statements is TURE according to the passage?A. According to a new survey, more than 28 million people in the UK get more than seven hours sleep a night.B. More than 90% young people expose themselves to the blue light from smart phones before bed.C. Of the 2,149 adults questioned, 91% said they used electronic devices before going to bed.D. The news came as a survey of 2,000 people suggests under-25s check their phones 30 times a day.26. According to what Andy Hepworth said, overuse of smartphones may be increasing people's risk of __________.A. weight gainB. cancerC. eye damageD. heart attacks27. Teenagers are generally thought to get sleep of _________ a night.A .about 9 hours B. 7-8 hours C. less than 7 hours D. more than 10 hours3.Speed-reading is a necessary skill in the Internet age.We skim over articles, e-mails and WeChat to try to grasp key words and the essential meaning of a certain text.Surrounded with information from our electronic devices, it would be impossible to cope if we read word by word, line by line.But a new trend calls on people to unplug and enjoy reading slowly, listing benefits beyond the intelligent stimulation.A recent story from The Wall Street Journal reported on a book club in Wellington, New Zealand, where members meet in a cafe and turn off their smartphones.They sink into cozy chairs and read in silence for an hour.Unlike traditional book clubs, the point of the slow reading club isn't exchanging ideas about a certain book, but to get away from electronic devices and read in a quiet, relaxed environment.According to the Journal, the Wellington book club is just one example of a movement started by book lovers who miss the old-fashioned way of reading before the Internet and smartphones.Slow readers, such as The Atlantic's Maura Kelly, say a regular reading habit sharpens the mind, improves concentration, reduces stress levels and deepens the ability to sympathize.Another study published last year in Science showed that reading novels helps people understand other's mental states and beliefs, a fundamental skill in building relationships.Yet technology has made us less attentive readers.Screens have changed our reading patterns from the straight and information.left-to-right sequence to a wild skimming and skipping pattern as we hunt for important words and information. Reading text punctuated with links leads to weaker comprehension than reading plain text. The Internet may have made us stupider, says Patrick Kingsley from The Guardian.Because of the Internet, he says, we have become very good at collecting a wide range of interesting news, but we are also gradually forgetting how to sit back, reflect, and relate all these facts to each other.Slow reading means a return to an uninterrupted, straight pattern, in a quiet environment free of distractions. Aim for 30 minutes a day, advises Kelly from The Atlantic.“You can squeeze in that half hour p retty easily if only during your free moments, you pick up a meaningful work of literature,” Kelly said.“Reach for your e-reader, if you like.Kindles make books like War and Peace less heavy, not less substantive, and also ensure you'll never lose your place.”28.The book club in Wellington mentioned in Paragraph 2 shows____________.A.the new trend of slow reading B.the decline ofelectronic devicesC.the importance of exchanging ideas D.the increasing number of club readers29.According to Patrick Kingsley, people are stupider partly because of_____________.A.a non-stop reading pattern B.the straight, left-to-right screenC.a wide range of interesting news D.the lack of reflection 30.According to the passage, slow reading___________.A.contributes to understanding among peopleB.promotes the current technology advancesC.provides people with a quiet environmentD.cures the memory loss of elderly people31.What's the best title for the passage?A.Benefit of Reading Clubs.B.Return of Slow Reading.C.Reading of the Internet Age.D.Influence of Speed Reading.4.If you could travel in time, where would you go? Perhaps you would watch an original performance of a Shakespeare’s play in Elizabethan England? What about hanging out with Laozi in the Spring and Autumn Period? Or maybe you’d voyage far ahead of the present day to see what the future holds.The possibility of time travel is indeed appealing. Stories exploring the subject have been around for hundreds of years. Perhaps the best known example is science fiction novel The Time Machine, which was written by H.G.Wells and published in 1895 for the first time. It was adapted into at least two feature films of the same name, as well as two television versions, and a large number of comic book adaptations. It is generally credited with the popularization of the concept of time travel using a vehicle that allows an operator to travel purposefully and selectively. The term “time machine”, coined by Wells, is now universally used to refer to a vehicle transportingpeople into the far future.But could time travel actually be possible? Some scientists say yes, in theory. They propose using cracks in time and space called “wormholes”, which could be used as shortcuts to other periods.Einstein's theory of relativity allows time travel in extreme circumstances.And British physicist Stephen Hawking says you could travel into the future with a really fast spaceship—going at nearly the speed of light.Though building such a spaceship would of course be no simple task.Even if you could travel into the past, there is something called the “grandfather paradox”.It asks what would happen if a time traveler were to go back in time and have his own grandfather killed for some reason, and therefore prevent himself from being born.If the time traveler wasn't born, how would he travel back in time?And would you really like to visit the future? In H.G.Wells' book, the main character travels into distant time where he arrives at a beach and is attacked by giant crabs.He then voyages 30 million years into the future where the only living thing is a black object with tentacles(触角).If that's what's in store, maybe we are better just living in the present day after all.32.The novel The Time Machine mentioned in Paragraph 2 aims to show___________.A.People's interest in time travel B.the special feature of the bookC.the long history of time travel D.the contribution of H.G.Wells33.Einstein's and Hawking's theories_________.A.have similarities in many waysB.push the invention of the first spaceshipC.have proved wrong by some time travelersD.suggest the possibility to invent the time machine34.In Paragraph 4,“grandfather paradox” probably refers to the idea that__________.A.the traveler is prevented from meeting his grandfatherB.the traveler goes back in time to seek for his grandfatherC.the grandfather's death makes the traveler's birth impossibleD.The reunion of the traveler and his grandfather brings happiness35.According to the passage, what is probably the author's attitude towards time travel?A.Unclear B.Skeptical C.Supportive D.Unconcerned.二、阅读填空(共2题)1.Thank you for reading the privacy policy of our website.

It didn’t even cross my mind that he might feel 41 when people whispered about him. So I just let them talk.Then ca me the day when I learned my little brother Martin’s testing for autism (自闭症) came out positive (阳性). I had never thought about him like that. I broke 42 , crying. Everything had just changed. He was no longer a(n) 43 little boy.Over time, I was able to accept his 44 a little more. We had to 45 because Martin needed treatment. So Martin and I both started at a new school. One day, I was standing in the bus line waiting when a “ short ” bus (for the retarded) came and 46 up some kids. The children in the other line started making 47 about the “ retarded ” on that bus and I felt a 48 feeling in my heart. I said quietly that those comments weren’t very nice, 49 no one listened.My family moved again. In the new school I got a 50 to speak up pretty soon. That day, in a band class, my teacher 51 our playing to make some comments, “ …Guys, we’re playing like the kids on the short bus! Come on! ” The entire room was laughing loudly. I felt very 52 . Then, I raised my hand. I wasn’t sure what I was going to say but I wanted to be heard.The whole class 53 down. My mouth opened and this came out: “ I don’t think we should make fun of the short bus, because there are people on that bus who have a lot in common with us and have the same feelings as we do.” I could feel my 54 getting louder. “ So I would 55 it if you didn’t make fun of them.”The room was very quiet and everyone stared at me. My teacher 56 for his words and then started the song again. At the end of the class, everyone was giving me strange looks. But I didn’t 57, because I knewthree things: I had spoken the 58 , I had taught everyone something, and while everyone in the classroom was being a follower, I had 59 to take a different path since I wanted to become a 60 and a role model.41.A.amazed B.hurt C.uncertain D.cold 42.A.off B.in C.down D.away43.A.normal B.noisy C.outstanding D.i mpressive44.A.pain B.interest C.opinion D.illness45.A.change B.move C.quit D.study 46.A.set B.took C.brought D.picked47.A.jokes B.complaints C.choices D.di scoveries48.A.violent B.strange C.confusing D.clear 49.A.because B.if C.but D.so50.A.chance B.position C.topic D.point 51.A.encouraged B.bothered C. enjoyed D.stopped52.A.bad B.embarrassed C.tense D.guilty53.A.sat B.slowed C.quieted D.looked 54.A.pace B.voice C.pulse D.breath55.A.excuse B.appreciate C.stand D .permit56.A.apologized B.fought C.allowed D.argued57.A.understand B.notice C.return D.care58.A.wisdom B.importance C.matter D .truth59.A.helped B.decided C.agreed D.hoped 60.A.reporter B.thinker C.leader D.trainer四、短文改错(共1题)1. 假定英语课上老师要求同桌之间交换修改作文,请你修改你同桌写的以下作文。
