"I thought, let's try and make this young lady's day," Tony said. He got his kids together and sent out a series of cute texts that she would never forget.What he didn't know, however, was how this random act of kindness would impact on his family's lives. The missing child from the cute pictures Tony sent to Syd is called Kaizler, and the reason why he wasn't there, smiling broadly with a thumbs-up along with other children, is that he was with his mom Rachel in the hospital, where he is currently receiving a leukemia(白血病) treatment. "Kaizler is doing well," Tony said. "We still have about a year's worth of treatments to go. He really wanted to try going to kindergarten, so we gave that a shot, but he was getting sick way too often."Tony and the kids' sweet exchange with Syd went viral online, with people falling in love with the amusing and heartwarming way it unfolded. And now their good deed has had totally unexpected and amazing consequences. "Since this all started we've had over $ 3,000 donated to our little cancer patient," Tony explained. "That's more than we had got in total over the last 2 years. It's been amazing and is a bigger blessing than anyone could ever know. All your help and support are greatly appreciated."The reaction surprised Kaizler's mom Rachel very much. "I would also like to thank everyone from the bottom of my heart for all the kind words, all the donations, all the love and support. We honestly would never have been able to make it this far in our journey without every single one of you!"4. Why did Tony reply to Syd's text?A. To praise her dress.B. To make her happy.C. To ask a favour of her.D. To persuade her to donate.5. What does the underlined phrase "went viral" in paragraph 3 mean?A. Appeared suddenly.B. Spread quickly.C. Updated regularly.D. Increased gradually.6. Which words can best describe Tony?A. Considerate and generous.B. Humorous and determined.C. Kind-hearted and grateful.D. Hard-working and optimistic.7. What message is mainly conveyed in the text?A. Do well and have well.B. Many hands make light work.C. Where there is life, there is hope.D.A friend in need is a friend indeed.CThe trousers known as jeans were the product of a partnership between Jacob Davis and Levi Strauss. They are popular with many generations of people — in America, especially, but also in many other countries. Jeans have different colors these day, but the most common color is the original blue.One very common material used in the making of jeans is denim(蓝粗棉布). The word "denim" actually came from the French language. Specifically, the city of Nimes, as a major producing center in France, was the setting for much production of the cloth used to make trousers. The cloth became so associated with the city in which it was made that it came to be called "from Nimes", or, in French "de Nimes". And over time "de Nimes" became shortened to "denim".The color of blue comes from the dye(染料) used in the making of jeans, and that dye was made from indigo, a plant that gives a blue substance. In the late Middle Ages and in the 19th century, as cloth production increased across the European continent and trade between Europe and Asia developed, one trade route that became well-known was the shipping of indigo dye from India to Europe. Nimes was one of the places to which much Indian indigo dye was shipped. Unlike other dyes, which when heated went into the cotton fibers, it was attached to the outside of the cloth. And with each wash, the indigo dye more solidly bonded with the cloth, making the jeans softer and creating the softened blue look that is now so familiar.Today's dye is artificial. But in many ways, the look and feel haven't changed. What has changed is that the number of producers has increased in a big way and the number of people who wear jeans — blue has increased greatly.8. What do we know about jeans?A. Their birth was a joint effort.B. They come in a great many varieties.C. They gain most acceptance in America.D. Their popularity declines in modem times.9. What is paragraph 2 mainly about?A. The material of jeans.B. The origin of denim.C. The production of cloth.D. The development of denim.10. What feature does the Indian indigo dye have?A. It has a better color effect.B. It's very sensitive to high heat.C. It mixes easily with cotton fibers.D. Its color stays unchanged over time.11. What is the purpose of the text?A. To analyze the cause of jeans' popularity.B. To introduce the process of making jeans.C. To stress the impact of Europe-Asia trade.D. To explain the reason for jeans' being blue.DThe demand for digital audio(音频的) books is growing very rapidly. Let's first look at why this has happened. The busy lifestyle leaves us little time to sit down and read a paper book. Besides, we all have time in the day when we are not really busy mentally. Therefore, we listen and "read" when doing other things.An audio book, read by a professional narrator(讲述者) who is telling you the story, is an ideal way to "read" books that you wanted to read for long but that lack of time did not permit you to read. Storytelling has a very long tradition and with the new technology, it is gaining popularity again."For many people, listening to an audio book is an opportunity to hear an author firsthand," says Mary Beth Roche, president of the Audio Publishers Association. "It's like having the very best lecture series, not just in your own town, but in your own car or home — and at your command, they'll read when YOU are ready to listen."Audio books used to be thought of as limited special products for only the blind andsight-impaired(视力受损的) or for kids and lazy people who either can not or do not want to read themselves. This has greatly changed over the last few years. A study found that the average listener of audio books is about 45 years of age and has an average yearly income of over $ 50,000, and at least a college education and often more advanced degrees. And these people have practical knowledge or understanding of the Internet.Moreover, audio books are especially good for children who hate to read because of problems in school. That way they are familiar with the adventure of using their own imagination to paint their mental pictures of what they hear, rather than just staring at the TV screen. Also, if they have the book and the audio, reading along can help them overcome reading problems.12. Who most probably like digital audio books?A. People who love high-tech products.B. People who prefer listening to stories.C. People who read anytime and anywhere.D. People who cannot spare time for reading.13. How is paragraph 4 mainly developed?A. By doing experiments.B. By giving examples.C. By analyzing causes.D. By making comparisons.14. What do digital audio books help children do?A. Reduce their screen time.B. Raise their interest in reading.C. Develop their imagination.D. Improve their listening skills.15. Which can be a suitable title for the text?A. Audio Books — A Popular Choice NowB. Audio Books — An Alternative to Paper BooksC. Audio Books — A New Source of KnowledgeD. Audio Books — A New Idea about Reading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。

Here is a list of colors, which can change your life.Blue/PurpleBlue is considered to be peaceful and calming and it has the same effect on our health. The blue / purple color in food is due primarily to their anthocyanins which are antioxidants (抗氧化剂) that are particularly heart healthy and may help support healthy blood pressure. Out of all the blue and purple foods available, blueberries are considered to have the highest antioxidant level. An analysis of the latest data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Study found that people who eat purple and blue fruits and vegetables are at a reduced risk for high blood pressure and are less likely to be overweight.A food and health expert says that blue and purple color foods can prevent blood mass formation, and they also lower the risk of cancer.Foods that contain blue and purple colors are: reddish eggplant (especially the skin), blueberries, blackberries, purple grapes, etc. GreenWe all know that we should eat green as green symbolizes nature. The green foods are rich in isothiocyanates, which help resist cancer.Dr. Ashok Agarwal, a food and nutrition specialist, explains, "They are excellent sources of folic acid, vitamin K, as well as carotene （胡萝卜素）. Diets high in those above are associated with lowered blood pressure."Foods that contain the green color are: broccoli, cabbage, cucumbers, etc.RedLycopene (番茄红素) in reddish fruits and vegetables is a powerful antioxidant that has been associated with a reduced risk of some cancers, and also provides protection against heart attacks.Dr. Smiths says, "Cooked tomato sauces are associated with greater health benefits as pared with the uncooked version as the heating process allows lycopene to be more easily absorbed by the body. Obtaining the most benefit from food depends on proper selection, storage and cooking of theproduce."Foods that contain red color are: Tomatoes and tomato products, watermelon, guava, red onions, red chili, red apples, red grapes, cherries, etc.OrangeThe orange foods are also rich in carotene, which are particularly good antioxidants. These foods are monly considered eyesight foods because they contain vitamin A."Orange fruits and vegetables also play a part in preventing cancer, particularly of the lungs and stomach.

But he did something different -he actually listened to people． Then he would respond to what they had said and engage them in brief conversations．I thought it was odd, but I guess I had grown accustomed to people asking how I was doing simply out of a robotic conversational habit． After a while, you don't give any thought to the question and just mumble（咕哝,含糊地说） something back． I could say, "I just found out I have six months to live," and someone would reply, "Have a great day!"This old cashier seemed genuine about wanting to know how people were feeling． Meanwhile, the high-tech cash register rang up their purchases and he announced what they owed. Customers handed money to him, he hit the appropriate keys gently, the cash drawer opened, and he counted out their change．Then magic happened． He placed the change in his left hand, walkedaround the counter to the customer, and extended his right hand in an act of friendship．As their hands met, the cashier looked the customers in the eyes．"I surely want to thank you for shopping here today,“ he told them, "You have a great day． Bye-bye．" The looks on the faces of the customers were priceless．All had been touched by his simple gesture． Now it was my turn, I glanced down at the name tag on his red vest, the kind experienced Wal-Mart cashiers wore．It read, "Marty．"' Marty told me how much I owed and I handed him some money．The next thing I knew he was ,standing beside me, offering his right hand and holding my change in his left hand．His kind eyes locked onto mine, smiling, and with a firm handshake．21．While the author stood in checkout line, maybe she felt a little A． calm B．nervous C． impatient D． relaxed 22．In the opinion of the author, people would ________.A．remain silent while shopping B．have a conversation on bad newsC．think carefully before a response D．have a mechanical chat with each other23．What made Marty different from other cashiers?A．He treated his customers friendly and sincerely．B．He calculated without using the cash register．C．He was interested in other's life．D．He used the change to do some magic．24． From the passage, we can infer that MartyA．didn't know how people were feeling B．devoted himself to his jobC．wasn't skilled in doing his job D．was familiar to all his customers25．What might be the most suitable title for the passage?A．Shopping for fun B．The Conversation at a ShopC．The Handshake D．An Old CustomerCThe crisis at Japan’s Fukushima Dai-Ichi nuclear energy center has raised questions about the future of the nuclear energy industry. Arjun Makhijani is president of the Institute for Energy and Environmental Research in the United States. He says the disaster in Japan is historic.This week, the chairman of America’s nuclear agency said there is little chance that harmful radiation from Japan could reach the United States. Nuclear Regulatory mission Chairman Gregory Jaczko also said America has a strong program in place to deal with earthquake threats. No new nuclear power centers have been built in the United States since 1979. That was when America’s worst nuclear accident happened at the Three Mile Island center in Pennsylvania. The accident began to turn public opinion against nuclear energy.To support more clean energy production, the Obama government has been seeking billions of dollars in government loan guarantees to build new centers. Presently, about twenty percent of electricity in the United States es from nuclear energy. But critics say nuclear power is too costly and dangerous to be worth further expansion.German prime minister Angela Merkel said Germany would close all seven nuclear power centers for a moment while energy policy is reconsidered. The European Union is planning to test all centers in its twenty-seven member nations.Developing nations are less willing to slow nuclear expansion. China said it will continue with plans to build about twenty-five new nuclear plants. And India, under a cooperation agreement with the United States, plans to spend billions on new centers in the ing years.Japan has made nuclear energy a national priority since the 1970s. Unlike many major economies, Japan imports eighty percent of its energy. The Nuclear Energy Institute says twenty-nine percent of Japan’selectricity came from nuclear sources in 2011. The government planned to increase that to forty percent by xx.Nuclear plants supply fourteen percent of global electricity. Nuclear energy is a clean resource, producing no carbon gases. But radioactive waste is a serious unresolved(未解决的) issue. So is the presence of nuclear power centers in earthquake areas like the one near Bushehr, Iran.26. Which of the following countries is the least likely to expand its use of nuclear energy?A. China.B. India.C. Iran.D. Germany.27. The government of Japan intended to increase its nuclear energy inxx by ______ pared with 2011.A. 29%.B. 40%.C. 69%.D. 11%.28. Which of the following statements about the use of nuclear power in the U.S. is TRUE?A. Most of the electricity es from nuclear energy in the U.S.B. The Obama government is against building nuclear power plants.C. A small number of nuclear power plants have been built since 1979.D. A serious nuclear accident happened in America at the end of the 1970s.29. What’s the main idea of this passage?A. The nuclear crisis in Japan has spread to other parts of the world.B. The situation of the world nuclear power development after the crisis in Japan.C. Japan’s nuclear disast er will slow the expansion of nuclear plants all over the world.D. Japan’s nuclear disaster won’t affect the nuclear energy production in other countries.30. From the last sentence of the passage, we can see the writer’sattitude towards building a nuclear power plant near Bushehr, Iran is .A. supportiveB. optimisticC. negativeD. uncertainSection C (10 marks)Directions: Read the following passage. Answer the questions : Fireworks are crackling through the night skies across the globe as revelers celebrate the first moments of xx.Crowds gathered in public spaces in major cities across the Asia-Pacific region to ring in thenew year with music, fireworks and revelry. As clocks marched toward midnight around the world, crowds massed in Moscow, Dubai, London, New York and other major cities ahead of their celebrations.Dubai created what it called the world's largest fireworks show. About a million people are expected to gather in New York's Times Square to watch a giant ball drop at the stroke of midnight, the best known of the American New Year's Eve rituals.Fireworks erupted from Auckland's Sky Tower as people danced in the streets of New Zealand's biggest city. In Sydney, Australia, more than a million people watched fireworks launched for the first time in more than a decade from the sails of the city's famed waterfront opera house. Billowing fireworks soared over Hong Kong's skyscrapers.In Japan, some celebrators ate noodles and seafood - thought to bring good luck in xx --- and offered prayers at Buddhist shrines and temples.However, celebrations were somewhat muted in the Philippines, where officials say about 260 people were injured by fireworks or stray bullets(流弹) in the days leading up to New Year's Eve. The mood also was somber in areas still recovering from Haiyan, a November typhoon that killed thousands of people.Cape Town, South Africa, was set for a particularly poignant celebration to include a tribute to anti-apartheid leader Nelson Mandela, who died December 5.31．How did crowds in public spaces in major cities across the Asia-Pacific region celebratethe New Year?

Officer Ryzhiy ("Ginger" in English), 9, worked with the Nizhny Novgorod transport police for seven and a half years, sniffing out illegal drugs, weapons and substances that are able or likely to cause an explosion.Recently, the short-legged corgi made its name and became a local star after his trainers created a social media account for him last summer. He now has more than 15,000 followers. His resignation was submitted to the local Interior Ministry over the last weekend. "Now, my friends, I am a real pensioner!" reads a post announcing his retirement. The account will now update Ryzhiy's followers on "the everyday life of a retired police dog" as well as the work of his former dog colleagues. "I plan to play sports as often as I did before. And maybe I will even try to learn new things, for example, dancing," the dog's account wrote. Ryzhiy's partner, a Belgian Sheepdog named Ziger, will soon be joined by a new four-legged companion.Ryzhiy initially joined the police force by accident. His owner, also a police officer, brought him to work one day when the traffic police didn't have enough dogs on hand. He quickly adapted to the task and earned a full-time job as a result.Corgis are well suited to working as police sniffing dogs but are too expensive for most police budgets, said a Russian corgi trainer. As a result, it remains unlikely that Russia will see any other corgi officers joining the ranks of its police.4. How did Ryzhiy help the police?A. By searching for the criminals.B. By discovering prohibited things.C. By helping keep traffic orderly.D. By protecting them from danger.5. Who updates the posts about Ryzhiy online regularly?A. Ryzhiy.B. Ziger.C. The trainers.D. The police.6. What can we infer about Ryzhiy?A. He was probably once a pet dog.B. He devoted his whole life to his job.C. He had no companions while working.D. He was highly adaptable to emergencies.7. What can be a suitable tide for the text?A. Police Corgis Are Rare in RussiaB. Corgis Are Considered the Best Police DogsC. A Russian Corgi Makes His Name OnlineD. Russia's First Police Corgi Goes into RetirementCIn Colombia a group, named WebConserva, is carrying out a project in the San Lucas Mountains with the help of coffee growers.The San Lucas area is one of the most unexplored places in Colombia, which is home to many thousands of species of animals and plants. Yet gold mining and coca farming have dealt a blow to its ecosystem. To limit additional development in the San Lucas area, the group helps coffee growers by linking them with processors from around the country.Colombia has more different kinds of living things than any other country except neighboring Brazil. In 2016, the Colombian government signed a peace deal with the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia ending years of civil war. As a result, more land became accessible for use, with deforestation(毁林) coming along. Government information shows that in 2017, almost 220,000 hectares of forest were destroyed compared to around 124,000 hectares in 2015.To date, the project includes 10 families who farm 400 hectares of coffee plants, which costs about $ 77,000 dollars a year. WebConserva hopes that, in time, 200 families will be included. At that level, 20,000 hectares of untouched forest could be protected. In San Lucas, the families promise not to cut down trees to expand their crops or to hunt wild animals from the forests. In return, they receive $ 250 to $ 300 per 125 kilograms of coffee, an enviable amount there. Arcadio Barajas is among those taking part. His new coffee plantation(种植园) makes a barrier between cattle farms and forests where wild animals like the jaguar live and hunt. In this way, he doesn't have to kill wild animals to protect his cattle.Barajas said that pulling down the forest to plant coca and killing wildlife were against his will. Now he feels that growing coffee lets him be a steward of the land. "I'm taking care of the environment, the forest and the animals," he said.8. Why does WebConserva set up the project?A. To help local farmers make money.B. To expand areas of coffee growing.C. To link processors with coffee growers.D. To conserve biodiversity in the Mountains.9. What happened after Colombia’s civil war was over?A. Colombia helped many needy families.B. Colombia lost lots of areas of forests.C. Colombia started to save damaged forests.D. Colombia became more peaceful than Brazil.10. Which is probably a function of Barajas's coffee plantation?A. A method of protecting cattle and wildlife.B.A substitute for hunting of wild animals.C. A barrier between man and wild animals.D.A shelter for cattle against human hunters.11. What does the underlined word "steward" mean in the last paragraph?A. Farmer.B. Master.C. Guardian.D. Explorer.D"You are very aware that if something goes wrong, it goes very wrong very quickly," says Joanne Johnson, speaking near Thwaites Glacier(冰川) in one of the remotest parts of Antarctica. At the time, she and three colleagues were alone, more than 1600 kilometres from the nearest research station. Strong winds had pounded them and it had snowed heavily. On the bright side, fortunately, it was mild, at -5℃.Until now, fewer than 50 people have been to this part of West Antarctica, less than have been to space. By the end of this month, 100 will have visited. The reason is simple: Thwaites now is a potential time bomb.This vast glacier is about the size of Great Britain. While it has been lessening since the early 1990s, ice it lost has almost doubled over the past 20 years. It is falling 35 billion tonnes a year. On its own, its collapse would raise seas by around 65 centimetres. That is worrying enough in the context of the 19-cm rise in the whole of the 20th century. But the bigger worry is that this glacier buttresses the entire West Antarctic ice sheet. The fear is that it will cause a wider collapse of the ice sheet — enough to raise seas by a disastrous 3.3 metres within a few hundred years if Thwaites goes.Scientists for the first time drilled into the ice; placing instruments into the ice is the only way to make accurate forecasts of how sea level will rise in the future. This year's work has already confirmed their fears though — warm ocean water that circles Antarctica is flowing to the coast and because the seabed tips downwards, as the ice melts(融化) it will expose increasingly more ice to that water, meaning the glacier could disappear increasingly rapidly.Joanne Johnson said, "What happens in the Antarctic doesn't stay in the Antarctic. Humanity canno t afford to wait."12. Why will more people visit Thwaites?A. To measure Thwaites' size.B. To locate Thwaites Glacier.C. To explore West Antarctica.D. To learn about Thwaites' melting.13. What does the underlined word "buttresses" in paragraph 3 mean?A. Supports.B. Covers.C. Damages.D. Balances.14. What's the purpose of scientists' drilling into the ice?A. To find out the position of ice melting.B. To predict the exact change of sea level.C. To calculate the speed of water circling.D. To prevent the seabed from moving.15. What does Joanne Johnson mean in the last paragraph?A. Antarctic is destroyed by outsiders.B. Antarctic is the focus of the problem.C. Thwaites' trouble will become worldwide.D. Humans should be blamed for Thwaites' crisis.第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）阅读短文，根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

AThere are a number of sports writers who are now widely regarded as some of the best sports journalists of our time. Here are five of the most well-known sports writers.Rick Reilly of Sports IllustratedRick Reilly became famous as the back page columnist (专栏作家) for Sports Illustrated magazine. Then he moved to ESPN in 2008 and began working as a columnist for their website — . Now he has his own show with ESPN, and he also contributes articles to ABC sports.Bob Ryan of The Boston GlobeBob Ryan rose through the ranks thanks to his skill and knowledge about basketball. He very soon became known as a guru of the sport, writing an impressively large number of articles about The Boston Celtics — a National Basketball Association (NBA) team based in Boston, Massachusetts.John Feinstein of The Washington PostJohn Feinstein is primarily a columnist with The Washington Post but during his long career he has published two best-selling sports books A Good Walk Spoiled and A Season on the Brink. He is a regular with the Golf Channel and has a very popular blog called Feinstein on the Brink.Joaquin Henson of The Philippine StarJoaquin Henson started out his sports journalism career in 1973 and became popularthrough his column Sporting Chance, which has been published in The Philippine Star since the 80’s. He has given a number of catchy nicknames to some of the most famous sporting stars of our time.William Rhoden of The New York TimesApart from being a columnist with The New York Times since the 80’s, William Rhoden is a respected sports journalist known for his two books Forty Million Dollar Slaves and Third and a Mile. Both books deal with the problems that face black athletes in the field of sport.1．Before working for ESPN, Rick Reilly _____.A．was a regular with the Golf Channel B．started his column Sporting Chance C．wrote articles for Sports Illustrated D．worked as a sports talk show host 2．Both John Feinstein and William Rhoden _____.A．have worked as writers for ten years B．work as columnists and write books C．like to give nicknames to sporting stars D．are known as columnists for ABC sports 3．What would be the best title for the text?A．Useful tips for a sports journalist B．How to be a newspaper columnist C．Newspapers that influence us a lot D．Famous and popular sports writersBDr. Faisal Zawawi, an Otolaryngologist and member of the McGill Auditory Sciences Laboratory, notes that when a person is exposed to loud noises it can cause short-term hearing loss but that under normal circumstances the body typically is able to repair the loss of hearing within 72 hours. However, Zawawi warns that if symptoms are not reversed (倒转) in the first 72 hours the damage could become permanent. Due to findings in previous studies about it, Zawawi says that the team of researchers has suspected that something may stop this repair process. Therefore, the team set out to determine if caffeine could be a contributing cause to hearing loss. According to the Medical Daily, the researchers tested what theysuspected on female guinea pigs(FGP) (豚鼠).To perform the test, 24 female guinea pigs were split into three equal groups with each group exposed in different levels to caffeine, and loud noises. The researchers found that the guinea pigs subjected to only sound had their full hearing recovered by day eight. However, the guinea pigs that were subjected to both caffeine and loud noise never fully regained their hearing. Therefore，the researchers concluded that caffeine is a likely contributing cause to permanent hearing loss.“This research confirms that while a cup of coffee may seem appealing after a long night at a loud concert, drinking caffeine produces more of a risk than benefit when it comes to a person's hearing. Although further research is required to understand the effect on humans, the results are promising," says Zawawi. If the research proves successful, the removal of caffeine from your diet following noise exposure could prevent permanent hearing loss as the body will be more able to repair itself naturally.4．What caused the team to do the research?A．Caffeine loving people suffering hearing loss.B．The results about hearing loss found before.C．The finding that FGPs are sensitive to noise.D．The fact that many people drink coffee.5．What is Zawawi's view about temporary hearing loss?A．Drinking coffee daily results in it.B．The continuous noise exposure surely causes it.C．The temporary hearing loss will become permanent after 3 days.D．Generally people can recover from it in 3 days.6．What can we learn about hearing from the text?A．Coffee can lead to quick hearing loss.B．Loud noise causes people to lose it forever.C．Coffee can stop it from recovering.D．Hearing loss after noise exposure is normal.7．How does Zawawi assess the research?A．It's controversial.B．It's unnecessary to carry it on.C．It's not predictable.D．It's almost successful.CSmall talk has a reputation for being uninteresting, and for good reason. Pointing out the fact that it’s raining seems as ridiculous as pointing out the fact that you have a head—you’re fully aware of both things, and don’t require an outsider to confirm them. But despite being evident and often painfully dull, small talk has an important role to fulfil, enabling us to leap over a number of social obstacles towards improved, meaningful interaction.Humans can be sensitive souls. We each have our boundaries and lists of potential upsets, which when broken, cause us to either gently back away to an alternative position in the room, or become cross at the person. Small talk is first a way to test the waters with an unfamiliar person, so that you may better understand their personality. When finding yourself positioned closely to a person who you know little about, it’s much safer to point out the rainy sky than to share your political views on a sensitive topic. Until you know the person better, heavier topics should probably be kept under wraps, so you won’t find yourself on the receiving end of a cold stare.Though insignificant, small talk still has great power. When talking with fellow humans, much of our soul is exposed through non-verbal communication. A response to “how was your weekend” can unveil much about the person’s character. The length of their response might indicate their level of self-confidence; the tone of speaking might show how agreeable a person is; their slightly lowered head, as if protecting themselves from attack, a possible sign of a regrettable history of bullying.As more of a person’s character is revealed, we have the insight needed to determinewhether to broach more significant topics—the things that we actually want to talk about. Conversation is a great educator, and deep conversation establish lasting bonds with our fellow humans, forming precious friendships that paint our lives with vibrant colors. Such friendships begin with small talk.8．What is described in the first paragraph?A．The first stage of human interaction.B．Ridiculous human behavior in communication.C．Absence of communication between strangers.D．The difficulty of having deep conversations.9．Why do people find themselves “on the receiving end of a cold stare”?A．Because they are fond of heavy subjects.B．Because they are enthusiastic about politics.C．Because they are too sensitive about topics.D．Because they fail to manage interpersonal distance.10．What might be a sign of friendliness according to paragraph 3?A．The length of the answer.B．The quality of the voice.C．The position of the head.D．The distance between speakers. 11．What might be the best title for the text?A．Reputation of Small Talk B．Ways of Understanding Personality C．Significance of Small Talk D．Challenges of Deep ConversationDAs educators across the globe look to improve students outcomes, a new trend is beginning to take root. Equipped with the knowledge that indoor plants improve general health and well-being, living green walls, like those created by GSky Plant Systems,Inc., arebringing life to educational spaces.This fall, to help enrich student learning, GSky completed the installation(安装) of a Versa Wall for the new Biomedical Sciences and Engineering(BSE) facility at Universities at Shady Grove in Rockville, Maryland. “The living wall is meant to almost appear as an extension of the east courtyard exterior(外面的) environment flowing into the building,”said Christopher Case, Project Engineer for Gilbane Building Company.As the educational model continues its shift toward a science, technology, engineering, art and math(STEAM) curriculum, Educators are looking for more hands-on learning opportunities. Green walls provide teachers with a new way to put STEAM principles into the curriculum.Known as project-based learning, this method allows instructors to develop educational opportunities for students to interact with a green wall. Michael McCullough, Michael Martin and Mollika Sajady, in their article, “Implementing(实施) Green Walls in school，”explain the benefits of project-based learning：“The project-based learning allows students to construct meaning and knowledge based on direct experience，interacting with their environment.” In turn, students are encouraged to use critical thinking to develop ways to maintain a green wall, once again, bring them back to the natural world, in spite of being indoors.The benefits of green walls don't end at better test scores and increased learning opportunities. Because stress levels often run high in schools, green walls naturally help reduce that stress and anxiety. Plus, the addition of greenery in schools decreases carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, leading to a reduction in headaches, dizziness, and tiredness,---all of which contribute to students’ ability to focus.To increase productivity while beautifying a space, Georgetown University also chose a GSky Versa Wall for a student center in one of their residence halls, New South. The 828-square- foot vertical garden is filled with 5000 plants, allowing students to breathe easy.So, no matter the location or learning style, GSky’s green walls are proving to be a critical element in creating a positive educational experience for students, big and small. 12．What did Christopher say about the living wall?A．It extends as far as the east countryyard.B．It appears as if it's constantly moving.C．It beautifies the country yard exterior environment.D．It brings the outdoor environment into the building.13．What does “Implementing Green Walls in School” show about green walls?A．They are beneficial to the students’ studies.B．They still need further improving.C．They might replace some STEAM courses.D．They work well in improving general health.14．Why is Georgetown University mentioned in Paragraph 6?A．To complain about the wrong location of GSky's green walls.B．To display possible learning opportunities at universities.C．To show GSky's green walls’ functions.D．To explain a new trend among universities.15．What is the test mainly about?A．New environmentally friendly measures.B．The unexpected fast development of GSky.C．Living green walls in educational institutions.D．The connection between knowledge and plants.第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5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。
2021年普通高等学校招生全国统一考试英语模拟卷(七)附带答案及详细解析
2021年普通高等学校招生全国统一考试英语模拟卷（七）一、阅读选择（共4题；共30分）1.阅读理解Children's books bring back joyful memories, providing kids with that much-needed escapism, entertainment and education from a young age. But sometimes it can be difficult to know which to choose. Here, experts share a selection of their favourites.Germany: Konstantin, by Gerda Wagener Vlasta BarankovaThis book follows a shy crocodile named Konstantin who finds a French horn in the jungle. The lonely reptile learns to play the instrument in secret but later with the confidence given by other animals, the nervous and lonely Konstantin finally comes out of his shell and finds friendship through his music. This heartwarming story encourages taking pride in what you do and having the courage to share it with others.Sweden: Pippi Longstocking, by Astrid LindgrenPippi, a nine-year-old girl, is always ready to challenge the authority of grown-ups and has a love of animals, especially for her pet horse and monkey. Pippi also provides a strong female presence in the story, which is often lacking in traditional children's literature and fairy tales. This is a great book for any children looking for an exciting and courageous figure that they can relate or look up to, teaching them not only to take the lead but to question the rules of the world.Sweden: Pettson and Findus by Sven NordqvistIt is a series about the adventures of an old man, Pettson, and his cat, Findus, living in their farmhouse in the countryside. Beginning usually with ordinary events, such as a camping or fishing trip, they contain lots of fantastical details of the small creatures that play tricks on Pettson. These tales encourage finding joy in the little things in life, whether it is cooking or just enjoying the great outdoors.France: The Little Prince, by Antoine de Saint-ExuperyAs one of the most translated books ever, The Little Prince is a classic in many nations beyond its native France. The plot revolves around a young prince who travels from planet to planet through space. He learns lessons about love, loneliness and friendship along the ensuing journey. The book may have been written for children, but The Little Prince includes enough reflection on complex themes to keep grown-ups entertained as well, making it a great choice for parents and children to read together.（1）What are parents supposed to do with a shy boy?A.Motivate him to learn a musical instrument.B.Accompany him to read bedtime stories.C.Encourage him to come out of his shell.cate him to challenge authorities.（2）Which is the best choice to help improve your kids' critical thinking?A.KonstantinB.Pippi LongstockingC.Pettson and FindusD.The Little Prince（3）What do the four books have in common?A.They come from the western culture.B.They are the most translated books ever.C.They are about human-animal relationship.D.They are about memories of childhood.2.阅读理解Louise Gluck has been no stranger to awards over her long and storied career since her first publication in 1968. In 1993, she won the Pulitzer Prize for her collection of poems, The Wild Iris. And on Oct 8 (2020) she became the 16th woman to win the Nobel Prize in literature with the Nobel prizes first awarded in 1901.Gluck was honored “for her unmistakable poetic voice that, with plain and simple beauty, makes individual existence universal”. Often said to be an autobiographical poet, drawing fr om the inner parts of her life, "Gluck seeks the universal, Nobel Committee Chair Anders Olsson said in a statement.Gluck, 77, the author of 12 poetry collections, has been able to turn her life experiences into universal themes covering life, loss, and isolation. Because of this, readers have often found her poetry to be "dark". However, there is much more than darkness in her voice, as noted by Olsson. "It is candid and also a voice full of humor and biting wit." he said.For example, in her poem Snowdrops, she uses the coming of spring after winter to show rebirth of life after death. She leads readers down a depressing path only to reconnect with the light at the near end. At the conclusion of the poem, readers are left to feel the "raw wind of the new world" as they watch a new spring. This is often the case in Gluck's poetry, being able to feel joy even after not having done so for a long time. When her work Faithful Virtuous Night received a National Book Award for Poetry in 2014, a judge for the award went on to say, the collection comes from "a world where darkness blurs (模糊) ordinarily sharp edges around the oppositions of our lives - loss and renewal, male and female, the living and the dead".Talking of prizes, she acknowledged that they can make "existence in the world easier" but did not amount to the immortality (永生) of a true artist. "I want to live after I die, in that ancient way." she said. "And there's no way of knowing whether that will happen, and there will be no knowing, no matter how many blue ribbons have been used to cover my body." The remark is in line with Olsson's description of Gluck's poetic voice as "candid and uncompromising” but frequently witty.（1）What can we learn about Louise Gluck?A.She is a productive and distinguished poet.B.She showed indifference to the Nobel award.C.She had her first publication in her teens.D.She gets inspiration from universal existence.（2）How do readers feel after reading Snowdrops?A.Depressed.B.Confused.C.Astonished.D.Refreshed.（3）According to Gluck, how do awards influence artists?A.By improving their health and fame.B.By popularizing their works better.C.By contributing to their living longer.D.By allowing them a better living.（4）What is the text mainly about?A.Gluck's poetry collections.B.Gluck's journey to success.C.The glories of Glucks poetry.D.The features of Gluck's poetry.3.阅读理解Could looking through trees be the view to a greener future? Trees replacing the clear glass in your windows is not a work of science fiction. It's happening now.Forest Products Laboratory researcher Junyong Zhu together with colleagues from the University of Maryland and University of Colorado has developed a transparent wood material that may be the window of tomorrow. Researchers found that transparent wood has the potential to outperform glass currently used in construction in nearly every way.While glass is the most common material used in window construction, it comes with quite a few bad consequences. Heat easily transfers through glass and amounts to higher energy bills when it escapes during cold weather and pours in when it's warm. Glass production used for construction also comes with a heavy carbon footprint. Manufacturing emissions alone are approximately 25,000 metric tons per year, without considering the heavy footprint of transporting the glass.The innovation was developed using wood from the balsa tree, which is native to South and Central America. The team treated balsa wood to an oxidizing bath, where the wood is kept in a bleach solution at room temperature to remove the light-absorbing substance from the structure. The wood is then penetrated (注入) with a synthetic polymer called polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), creating a product that is virtually transparent. So the transparent wood is created, which is far more durable and lighter than glass.Switching to transparent wood could prove to be cost efficient as well. It is approximately five times more thermally efficient than glass, cutting energy costs. It is made from a sustainable, renewable resource with low carbon emissions.With all of these potential benefits for consumers, manufacturing and the environment, the case for transparent wood couldn't be clearer.（1）What is the main problem with glass used in window construction?A.It is inefficient in letting heat out.B.It is inconvenient to transport.C.It causes a high ecological price.D.It scarcely reflects light and heat.（2）What does the underlined part "a bleach solution" refer to?A.A way to make colors fade.B.A liquid to make objects pale.C.A container to store liquids.D.A process to solve problems.（3）What do the researchers probably agree with?A.Innovation is the vitality of scientific housing.B.Things are not always what they seem.C.There are more ways to the wood than one.D.There is nothing permanent except change.（4）What is the author's attitude toward transparent wood?A.Skeptical.B.Ambiguous.C.Appreciative.D.Conservative.4.阅读理解Half of all work tasks will be handled by machines by 2025 in a shift likely to worsen inequality, a World Economic Forum report has forecast.The think tank said a "robot revolution" would create 97 million jobs worldwide but destroy almost as many, leaving some communities at risk. Routine or manual jobs in administration and data processing were most atthreat of automation, WEF said. But it said there would be a need for new jobs in care, big data and the green economy.The WEF surveyed 300 of the world's biggest companies, with more than 8 million employees globally. More than 50% of employers surveyed said they expected to speed up the automation of some roles in their companies, while 43% felt they were likely to cut jobs due to technology.WEF said the pandemic (疫情) had sped up the adoption of new technologies as firms looked to cut costs and adopt new ways of working. But it warned workers now faced a double threat from "accelerating automation and the economic impact from the Covid-19"."These things have deepened existing inequalities across labor markets and removed gains in employment made since the global financial crisis in 2007-2008," said Saadia Zahidi, managing director at WEF. "The window of opportunity for active management of this change is closing fast."WEF said currently around a third of all work tasks were handled by machines, with humans doing the rest, but by 2025 the balance would shift. Roles that relied on human skills such as advising, decision-making, reasoning, communicating and interacting would rise in demand. There would also be a sudden large increase in demand for workers to fill green economy jobs, and new roles in areas like engineering and cloud computing.But it said millions of routine or manual jobs would be displaced by technology, affecting the lowest paid, lowest skilled workers the most. It said millions would need to be re-skilled to cope with the change, while governments would have to provide "stronger safety nets" for displaced workers.（1）Who are included in "some communities" mentioned in Paragraph 2?A.Unskilled workers.B.Software engineers.C.Career consultants.anic fanners.（2）What is the purpose of paragraphs 3 and 4?A.To analyse the reliability of the figures and facts.B.To provide supporting evidence for the main idea.C.To introduce two events for discussion.D.To highlight two causes of the effects.（3）What do the displaced people expect their governments to do?A.Slow down the automation.B.Strengthen social security.C.Improve network safety.D.Promote the Robot Revolution.（4）What can be a suitable title for the text?A.Further inequalities from the Robot Revolution.B.A double threat from automation and pandemic.C.Half of all work tasks to be lost.D.Half of all work tasks to be automated.二、任务型阅读（共1题；共5分）5.任务型阅读Do you waste food?How much food do you buy each week? Are you someone who fills your fridge and cupboards with treats so that you'll always have something to eat and so that you'll never go hungry? ________Throwing away unwanted food has become a big issue in the developed world. While some of us throw away unwanted items, people in other parts of world face food shortages and are starving. ________ The actual figure is 1.3 billion tons of food, which is enough to feed a billion hungry people.You may think supermarkets are mainly to blame for this mountain of food. After all, they do cast stuff that's past its sell — by — date. They've also been criticized for encouraging customers to buy more than they need. ________ In Europe an incredible 53% of food waste comes from households, which results in 88 million tons of food waste a year. So instead of filling our bellies, our food is filling up landfill sites. Unfortunately, this causes greenhouse gases which eventually leads to global warming and climate change.In Denmark, a woman called Selina Juul has been working hard to tackle this problem. She convinced some supermarkets to stop selling their items in quantity so that people bought only what they needed. She's set up an education program in schools. ________________ And when we're at home we should make the most of the food we have — using recipes that use up our leftovers or even sharing our extra food with our friends and neighbours.A. People buy more than they need and throw too much away.B. Or maybe, you're efficient with your shopping, only buying what you need.C. But the biggest contributor to food waste is us.D. Clearly, we need to think twice when shopping.E. We simply need to stop throwing away food and enjoy it instead.F. This has helped create a 25% reduction in food waste.G. It's shocking that a third of the world's food is wasted each year.三、完形填空（共1题；共20分）6.完形填空We have a problem that is deeply rooted in our world today. When it comes to the holidays, people tend to forget that it's the season of giving, 1 the season of receiving. We tend to be more2 about what we'll receive on Christmas morning as opposed to looking at the holidays as3 to help out those who don't have it as good as we do.So, how can we 4 the culture around the holidays and make sure that people are emphasizing the opportunity to 5 as much as they are looking forward to opening up their stockings? During this holiday season, many people receive countless 6 from organizations seeking giftsto help them fulfill their mission: helping the old, providing food for the poor, 7 for the homeless, care for 8 animals and more.Giving 9 is the right thing to do, though many of us are 10 by the task. Whether or not we have much money to 11 , it isn't always easy to 12 what we have worked so hard for, especially when we have set 13 goals—saving for retirement, a vacation or a rainy day.Even with so many reasons to be unwilling, the advantages of giving outweigh them all. When we give to those in need, either 14 to persons or through 15 , we make a positive16 to the lives of others and to our own.As we are reminded, giving ensures that we are not 17 by material things, but free through the abundance of 18 . That we have all things is not because we have a good 19of money in the bank, not because we have skill and intelligence with which to 20 bread, but because we are fortunate enough. May we be good at giving from what we have received from our fortune.1. A. other than B. more than C. rather than D. less than2. A. concerned B. appreciated C. careless D. surprised3.

AI’ve spent over a year in India,and in those 365 plus days,I’ve learned a lotabout getting around Indian cities.My biggest lessons have been learned throughbeing cheated,particularly by taxi and rickshaw(人力车) drivers,but that doesn’t mean those are bad ways to travel,as long as you know what you’re doing.Beloware the best ways to get around the city of Delhi,India,and tips for how to keepfrom being the victim of scams(欺诈).Taking taxis is a great way to get around the city of Delhi and chances are,ifyou arrive in Delhi by plane,as soon as you make it through customs,you’ll be swarmedby Indian taxi drivers.At the Delhi airport,be sure to arrange for a taxi to yourhotel at one of the two Delhi Traffic Police Taxi Booths.One is inside the airport,andthe other is outside.The key is to make sure to go to a booth run by the police,ratherthan by independent taxi drivers.Rickshaws are one of my favourite ways to get around Indian cities,in part because it’s how the locals often travel.Auto-rickshaws are more common,but bicycle rickshaws are still used in Old Delhi.If you do have a chance to take a bicycle rickshaw,you should do it at least once for a unique experience that should onlyset you back about 15 rupees.Auto-rickshaw rates around Delhi range between 30 and80 rupees,depending on the distance.If you really want to travel around Delhi like the locals,take a publicbus.Indian buses become very crowded and most do not have air conditioning.Theyare,however,very cheap.A bus trip won’t set you back any more than 15 rupees,aslong as you stay within the city limits.Since Indian buses get so crowded,try toboard the bus at the start of the route so you can get a seat.The train is a great way to get around within the city of Delhi.Fares are reasonable,between 6 and 22 rupees.All departure announcements are in both Hindi and English,and tokens can be purchased for between 6 and 22 rupees.6.The author is trying to in Delhi through this text.A.give some advice of travellingB.expect us to travel aroundC.show his/her experiencesD.explain the difficulties of travelling7.To avoid being cheated,you ought to if you want to take a taxi at the Delhi airport.A.pay more to the drivers to keep safeB.show your ticket to the driverC.go to a police-run boothD.go out of the airport8.The author suggests taking a rickshaw in order to .A.save some moneyB.enjoy the comfortable tripC.gain a unique experienceD.help the local rickshaw drivers9.What can we infer from the passage?A.You won’t have to pay much if you travel around by bus in India.B.It will be difficult for you to get a seat if you get on the bus halfway.C.A rickshaw driver only charges whatever amount you give him.D.You’ll have to speak English if you travel around in India.10.Which may be the topic that follows?A.Hotel recommendations in DelhiB.Weather conditions in DelhiC.Food and drink in DelhiD.Car rentals in DelhiBA thief who dropped a winning lottery ticket at the scene of his crime has been given a lesson in honesty.His victim,who picked up the ticket and then claimed the $25,000 prize,managed to trace him,and handed over the cash.The robbery happened when maths professor Vinicio Sabbatucci,58,was changing a tire on an Italian motorway.Another motorist,who stopped “to help”,stole a suitcase from his car and drove off.The professor found the dropped ticket and put it in his pocket before driving home to Ascoli in eastern Italy.Next day,he saw the lottery results on TV and,taking out the ticket,realized it was a winner.He claimed the 60 million lire(里拉) prize.Then he began a battle with his conscience.Finally,he decided he could not keep the money despite having been robbed.He advertised in newspapers and on the radio,saying,“I’m trying to find the man who robbed me.I have 60 million lire for him—a lottery win.Please meet me.Anonymity(匿名) guaranteed.”Professor Sabbatucci received hundreds of calls from people hoping to trick him into handing them the cash.But there was one voice he recognized and he arranged to meet the man in a park.The robber,a 35-year-old unemployed father of two,gave back the suitcase and burst into tears.He could not believe what was happening.“Why didn’t you keep the money?”he asked.The professor replied,“I couldn’t because it’s not mine.”Then he walked off,spurning the thief’s offer of a reward. 11.The underlined sentence “Then he began a battle with his conscience.” in Paragraph 2 implies all of the following except that .A.he knew what he should do as soon as he saw the lottery resultsB.he hesitated about keeping the money for sometimeC.he thought for a moment of avenging himself on the robberD.he came to realize that honesty is more important than money12.Hundreds of people phoned Professor Sabbatucci because they .A.wanted to make fun of himB.hoped to get the moneyC.knew who the robber wasD.lost the lottery ticket13.How did the robber feel when the victim wanted to find him?A.Excited.B.Frightened.C.Ashamed.D.Incredible.14.The underlined word “spurning” in the last sentence can be replaced by .A.acceptingB.claimingC.rejectingD.cancelling15.If the story appears in a newspaper,the best title might be .A.A Thief’s Lucky DayB.A Popular Maths ProfessorC.A Magic LotteryD.A Reward of HonestyCThat the Leaning Tower of Pisa no longer leans quite so much after a ￡20 million project to save it has proved to be a great success.The tower,which was on the edge of collapse,has been straightened by 18 inches,returning it to its 1838 position.“It has straightened a little bit more than we expected,but very little helps,”said Prof.John Burland,the only British member of the rescue committee.“The tower is still very slightly moving towards being upright.”The tower,which has been leaning almost since building work first began in 1173,was closed to the public in 1990 because of safety fears.The 183-foot tower was nearly 15 feet off vertical and its structure was found to have been weakened by centuries of strain(作用力).Prof.Burland said it could have collapsed “at any moment”.However,it took nine years of quarrelling before any work was done.The last attempt at straightening the tower was carried out.Concrete(混凝土) was poured into the foundations,but the result was that the tower sank further into the soil.The straightening work involved digging out around 70 tonnes of earth from the northern side of the tower,causing it to sink on that side.Before the digging started,the tower was fixed with steel ropes and 600 tonnes of lead weights.However,halfway through the project,concerns at the ugliness of the lead weights led to their removal and the tower leaned greatly.The weights were hurriedly reattached.One night,the tower moved more than it had averaged in an entire year.The tower’s stonework has also been restored.The Italian government stepped in after a tower collapsed in Pavia in 1989,killing four people.Experts suddenly realized that the tower at Pisa,which was similarly built and on the same sort of earth,could do the same.16.What would be the best title for the passage?A.The Building of the Leaning Tower of PisaB.Saving the Leaning Tower of PisaC.The Collapse of the Leaning Tower of PisaD.The History of the Leaning Tower of Pisa17.According to the passage,the Leaning Tower of Pisa .A.closed for the straightening work in 1990B.began to lean more than 800 years agoC.has a history of more than 1,000 yearsD.has become vertical18.What drove the Italian government to save the Leaning Tower of Pisa?A.The development of new technology.B.The advice of Prof.John Burland.C.The expectation of the rescue committee.D.The collapse of a tower in Pavia.19.What most probably played the most important part in straightening the tower?A.The lead weights fixed to the tower.B.Restoring the stonework.C.Pouring concrete into the foundations.D.Digging earth from the southern side of the tower.20.Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?A.The position of the tower has been restored to what it was 182 years ago.B.Hundreds of years of strain has weakened the tower’s structure.C.The tower doesn’t lean any more after the straightening work finished.D.People spent nine years in discussing about the straightening work.第三部分完形填空(共15小题;每小题3分,满分45分)阅读下面短文,掌握其大意,然后从各题所给的A、B、C和D项中选出最佳选项。

AIt's been a decade since the launch of Airbnb and Uber, now considered a part of life for many people booking trips and journeys. In that time, several boat sharing apps have been working hard to regulate how people rent boats or book activities on the water.Many of them have a similar business model to Airbnb, where customers rent boats directly from owners. GetMyBoat is the market leader with over 130,000 boats. The founders had the idea when they were sailing in the Atlantic and noticed that large numbers of boats were unused.The company has grown from having a presence primarily in the lop boating cities in the US to having boats available in 9 ,300 destinations across 184 countries. Since it first started, GetMyBoat has sent over 120,000 people out boating. This year, it is projecting to send 65 ,000 people out on the water, a dramatic increase from the 53 people who booked a boat in its first year back in 2013.US competitors include Boatsetter, which has 25 ,000 boats available across the world. Parisian- based Click&Boal has 30,000 boats globally and in the Mediterranean, Samboat is a major player with 25 ,000 boats.It's an obvious win for boat owners who are looking for ways to minimize （使最小化）the cost of owning a boat by renting it out. And modem technology means that the boat can find nearby customers without being registered to a specific boating agency as in the past.Safety issues are very important. Boatbound failed after a customer lost a leg in an accident because the company didn't require that people hire captains with the boats, something that its competitors do.The market is changing in that fewer people are seeking to buy their own boats, while the number of people who want to experience boating is growing. This new market is allowing people to search for and book water experiences that offer something new.1．What impressed the founders of GetMyBoat during their sailing in the Atlantic?A．The wide use of Airbnb. B．The popularity of water activities.C．The large quantity of unused boats. D．The large number of boats in the world.2．How does the author explain GetMyBoat's business development?A．By listing numbers. B．By making comparison.C．By following the time order. D．By referring to its founders' words.3．Why did Boatbound go downhill?A．Because the company couldn't find ways to minimize the cost of owning a boat.B．Because the competitors lay too much pressure on Boatbound.C．Because the company was in lack of modern technology.D．Because of a safely accident resulting from the company's carelessness.BA music talent show launched by Mango TV has caught the attention of domestic TV channel viewers recently. This entertainment program, whose Chines e name translates to “Sisters Who Brave Winds and Waves”, invited 30 established actresses in their thirties, put them up in an apartment where they competed against each other and then selected five among them to form a new star group.While young hopeful s are commonly considered to be the protagonists of music talent show, “Sisters Who Brave Winds and Waves” turns out to be an outlier. Apart from showcasing female stars musical talent, this show tries to deliver a positive message that age should not be the barrier for female entertainers to chase their dreams. The reality that most female entertainers have a short “shelf life” needs to be changed.Attracted by the unique theme of Mango TV’s new show, many Chinese viewers were desperate for the show’s debu t. The first episode aired last week received 10 million views within the first 20 minutes. Following the initial success, Mango Excellent Media’s stock rose by nearly 9% on Friday and another 7% on Monday. The company’s market value has now surpassed 100 billion yuan ($ 14 billion).The value of this show was not only recognized by the market, but also the majority of Chinese viewers. Many netizens made good comments on the new show as it encouraged them to explore their inner potential no matter how old t hey are. One wrote, “Of course, young stars in their late teens and early 20s are beautiful. But I feel more impressed by these celebrities over the age of 30.” She went on to say that their confidence and ambition make them shine, and that age is just a number.The Mango TV’s new show comes as a welcome relief, which demonstrates that charm and ambition is not limited to the young age. In fact, such age equality should extend to all professions to ensure that people with all ages could be treated equally in pursuit of their career goals.4．What does the underlined word “outlier” in paragraph 2 mean?A．Surprise. B．Success.C．Failure. D．Exception.5．How did the entertainment market react after Mango TV’s new show was released?A．The company’s market value has now exceeded 14 billion dollars.B．Mango Excellent Media’s stock rose by nearly 16% over the weekend.C．Nearly 10 million viewers watched the first episode within the first hour.D．The debut of the new show did not affect the company's market value.6．What do we know from the netizen’s comment on the newly released show?A．She thinks young celebrities are not attractive to the audience.B．She holds the view that Mango TV’s new show is conventional.C．She believes charm could make the celebrities shine no matter their age.D．She complains about age discrimination in the entertainment industry,.7．What can we infer about the author from the text?A．He/She aims to purse gender equality.B．He/She protests against age discrimination.C．He/She is a fan of musical shows.D．He/She dreams about being an actor/actress.CBlack rhinos(犀牛) have terrible eyesight. Even so, these African giants easily fend off hungry predators such as lions and hyenas. Their basic body plan has proved to be good enough to survive on African grasslands full of large predators, being very large, thick-skinned, big sword-like horns.But those protective traits(特征) are no match for humans with guns. Today the species is critically endangered largely due to poaching. But the rhinos may have an unlikely ally against poachers: the red-billed oxpecker. The chatty, sociable birds often hang out on the backs of rhinos, feasting on parasitic ticks(寄生虫).And actually, research has shown that the tick is the favorite diet of an oxpecker.The birds a lso get nutrients by picking at sores on the rhinos’ bodies. Victoria University of Melbourne behavioral ecologist Roan Plotz suspected that the rhinos put up with this indignity because the oxpeckers make loud alarm calls whenever they see humans approach, giving the rhinos an early warning to flee.To test whether the oxpeckers do, in fact, act as noisy lookouts, Plotz and his team implanted(植入) radio transmitters in the rhinos’ horns. This didn’t hurt the rhinos and allowed the researchers to track the animals.“And approach them undetected, when the oxpeckers were on the back and when the oxpeckers were not on their backs, to get an idea of if the birds do alarm them and if the rhinos do listen.”The researchers found that rhinos without oxpeckers detected an approaching human only 23 percent of the time, at an average distance of 27 meters. But when oxpeckers were present, the birds alarmed the rhinos 100 percent of the time. And they detected the human 61 meters away on average. And the more oxpeckers on the scene , the greater the detection distance.“It makes sense because the more eyes you have on your back, looking out for you, the more chance that they can pick up anything coming. There can be no doubt that the rhino is listening on the oxpecker alarm call.”8．What does the underlined phrase in the first paragraph mean?A．Defend against. B．Feed.C．Hide from. D．Attract.9．Why do the birds hang on the back of rhinos?A．To protect rhinos from poachers. B．To seek protection from rhinos.C．To f ind food over the rhino’s body.D．To let rhinos carry them around.10．What do the researchers find?A．Rhinos have poor eyesight. B．The birds alarm and rhinos listen.C．There are many ticks on rhinos. D．The birds have sharp eyes.11．What can best describe the relationship between the birds and rhinos?A．They protect each other from dangers. B．They are food source for each other.C．They depend on each other for survival. D．They have win-win partnership.DMental health is deteriorating(恶化)among young people globally.The incidence of depression and anxiety is increasing, and this not only lowers quality of life, but can have a lasting negative impact as an adolescent reaches adulthood.Many experts are trying to get at the root causes of this decline, in order to find ways to prevent further deterioration and to provide more effective help when needed. Two “emerging determinants of interest” are (a) over use of screen-based technology, and (b) too little time spent in nature. Most research to date has considered these factors independently, but a group of scientists from University of Adelaide recently decided to look at them jointly, to see if the combination of high screen time (ST) and low “green time” (GT), could affect mental wellbeing.The result is published on September 4, 2020, in the scientific journal PLOS One. In it, the researchers analyzed data from 186 studies that looked at children's interactions with screen-based technology and nature and their psychological outcomes, including mental health, cognitive(认知的) functioning, and academic achievement.What they found was that, in general, excessive screen time results in poorer psychological health, whereas green time improves mental wellbeing. Ten years ago in the U.S., the average daily screen time for 8-to-18-year-olds was 7.5 hours. As the study states, “This greatly exceeds recreational ST guidelines of 2 hours or less per day,” and is made even more challenging by the fact that so many schools are usingtechnology to teach classes.While some screen time can be beneficial, such as promoting connections and enabling tasks to be done more efficiently, there are many ways in which it is harmful. Excessive screen time “replaces important protective behaviors for mental health such as physical activity, getting adequate sleep, in-person social interactions, and academic activities.”And yet, when children do go outside, they become more physically active. Their day-night rhythm is regulated, thanks to the exposure to sunlight, thus “e ncouraging healthy sleep-wake cycles and improved sleep, which is key for psychological well-being.”12．The research of the University of Adelaide is different because________?A．The researchers tried to find the root causes.B．The researchers analyzed large amounts of data.C．The researchers tried to find a solution.D．They combined ST and GT.13．What are the findings of their research?A．Mental health is worsening among young people globally.B．School technology contributes to the most screen time.C．ST and GT have opposite impact on mental health.D．Guidelines of screen time shouldn’t be more than two hours.14．Why does over screen time affect mental health?A．It replaces mentally healthy behaviors.B．There is too much unhealthy information on the screen.C．Teens can’t break away from screen addiction.D．Teens can’t sleep well after screen time.15．What is implied in the passage?A．Over screen time worsens teens’ health.B．Teens need more green time, less screen time.C．Teens should be banned from any screen time.D．Screen-based technology shouldn’t be allowed in schools.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。

Hao Jingfang, a Tsinghua University alumna, is pursuing her passion for writing and education.In 2016, she won the prestigious Hugo Award with her novella, Folding Beijing, which made her the first female writer in China to bring home this prize. Later on, the author turned to education. She set up Tongxing Academy for public welfare education and WePlanets to foster children’s creativity after school.“The major task for society is to help people get better education, to improve their skill set in line with future technological advancements, and to broaden their horizons,”Hao said.Since founding her pany, Hao has been carrying out voluntary teaching programs in rural areas. “We really want these kids to have better education resources like kids from the cities,”she said. “We hope that the children from rural China, if one day they manage to live in the cities, can do more than car maintenance, for example. They will have the skills to take on other jobs.”Different from the typical Chinese parents so ambitious for their children, Hao suggests giving kids more space for trial and error. “I do believe the best mentality for parents is to stand behind your children,”Hao said. “Let the child cope with the reality and decide for themselves. If they struggle with obstacles, you can offer them some guidance or encouragement.”“I’ve had a wide variety of interests since childhood. I’ve got used to doing different things,”says the 35-year-old.Being an economic researcher, a writer and entrepreneur herself, she encourages all women to discover their passions. “We live in a big, big world with boundless possibilities, various trades and different vocations.

It’s not a new pandemic(传染病) —it’s influenza.The 2019-2020 flu season, which began September 29, is projected to be one of the worst in a decade, according to the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases. At least 250,000 people have been hospitalized with symptoms from the flu, and that number is predicted to climb as flu activity spreads quickly.Dr. Nathan Chomilo, an assistant professor at University of Minnesota Medical School, said that the monness of the flu often underplays its severity, but people should take it seriously.The flu bees dangerous when secondary infections emerge, the result of an already weakened immune system. Bacterial and viral infections worsen the flu’s symptoms. People with chronic illnesses are also at a heightened risk for flu plications.Those plications include pneumonia(肺炎), inflammation in the heart and brain and organ failure —which, in some cases, can be deadly.Influenza is tricky because the virus changes every year. Sometimes, the dominant strain in a flu season will be more virulent than in previous years, which can impact the number of people infected and the severity of their symptoms.Most of these changes in the virus are small and insignificant, a process called antigenic drift. That year’s flu vaccine is mostly effective in protecting patients in spite of these small changes.Occasionally, the flu undergoes a rare antigenic shift, which results when a pletely new strain of virus emerges that human bodies haven’t experienced before.This flu season, there’s no sign of antigenic shift, the most extreme change. But it’s happened before, most recently in 2009 with the H1N1 virus. It became a pandemic because people had no immunity against it, the CDC reported.8. What do the numbers indicate in the first two paragraphs?A. The flu is rather serious.B. The flu is quite mon.C. The flu is easy to control.D. The flu season lasts long.9. When does the flu bee dangerous?A. There appear new symptoms of flu owing to antigenic shift.B. The number of patients bees large with the virus spreading.C. Relative infections turn up because of the weaker immune system.D. The virus changes its form with no immunity against it.10. The underlined word “virulent”in paragraph 6 means ___________.A. changeableB. deadlyC. peacefulD. different11. Why is the H1N1 virus in 2009 referred to in the last paragraph?A. To warn people that the antigenic shift is impossible.B. To inform people that the virus can be cured.C. To show people that the vaccine is effective.D. To remind people that the virus can be changed.DWhen talking about the economics of online publishing, the first thing to remember is that job No. 1 isn’t to get the news to you. Rather, it is to monetize you, by selling you off, in real time, to the highest bidder. This happens every time you click on a link, before the page has even started to load on your phone. Once upon a time, if you and I both visited高考the same web page at the same time using the same web browser, we would end up seeing the same thing. Today, however, an almost unthinkably enormous ecosystem of scripts and cookies and often astonishingly personal information is used to show you a set of brand messages and sales links which are tailored almost uniquely to you.That ecosystem raises important questions about privacy —the way that the minute you look at a pair of shoes online, for instance, they then start following you around every other website you visit for weeks. But whether or not you value your privacy, you are damaged, daily, by the sheer weight of all that technology.Online ads have never got less annoying over time, and you can be sure that mobile ads are going to get more annoying as well, once Silicon Valley has worked out how to better identify who you are. The move to greater privacy protections might help slow the pace with which such technologies are adopted. But there’s no realistic hope that websites will actually improve from here. If you want to avoid the dreadful experience of the mobile web, you’ll only have one choice —which is to start reading your articles natively, in the Facebook or Apple News app. But it won’t be Facebook and Apple who killed the news brands. It’ll be ad tech.12. What will happen if two people click on the same link today?A. They will immediately get the news that they want.B. They will see the same thing whenever they browse.C. They will see different brand messages and sales links.D. They will be remended to the same bidder.13. Why can the online ads send you the links unique to you?A. Because the ecosystem knows who you are.B. Because they know how to identify who you are.C. Because you don’t care about your privacy.D. Because you always use the same web browser.14. How could we protect our privacy against mobile ads?A. By slowing the pace with such technologies.B. By improving the website functions.C. By stopping using the mobile phones.D. By reading articles in specific apps.15. What’s the author’s attitude to the ad tech?A. Negative.B. Positive.C. Unconcerned.D. Optimistic.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。

Most Americans love Chinese food. However, the Chinese food served in most American restaurants is very different from the authentic cuisine enjoyed daily by people living in China. 31 Then many Chinese immigrants had trouble landing a job in America. To make a living, some of them opened restaurants. Over these years, Chinese cuisine has been adapted to reflect Western influences.32 The Chinese food found in Western restaurants is mainly cooked through frying. Many dishes are cooked using various frying methods. However, traditional Chinese food is rarely cooked through frying Instead, methods such as baking, steaming, boiling and fermenting(发酵）are more commonly used.Another big difference between authentic and westernized Chinese food is the ingredients used. 33 Some ingredients-like carrots, onions and tomatoes-are not often used in authentic Chinese cooking. In addition, most Western cultures are pretty conservative about the meat they consume. Authentic Chinese food, in contrast, uses a wider variety of protein sources, including tofu, chicken feet, duck blood and many more that Westerners generally wouldn't choose to eat.34 Sweet and Sour Chicken, for example, has no equivalent(等同物）in traditional Chinese cuisine. Similarly, the fortune cookie is a completely American invention.Indeed, there are numerous differences between authentic and westernized Chinese cuisine, but Western palates(味觉）adapt to new flavors easily. 35A. The history of westernized Chinese food started in the mid-1800s.B. Westernized Chinese food features vegetables that are common in Western cuisines.C. There are so many regions of China, and they all prepare their dishes a little bit differently.D. So it may only be a matter of time before authentic Chinese food becomes popular in AmericaE. Many of the most popular Chinese dishes in the West are not served in Chinese restaurants at all.F. One of the main differences between authentic and westernized Chinese food lies in cooking methods.G. Deep frying food is quick, which is why you can usually get your Chinese food in just a few minutes.【答案】31.【答案】A【解析】复现推断。
