周测小卷英语2partb
周测小卷英语2partbThe importance of regular practice in improving English language proficiency cannot be overstated. Frequent exposure to the language, through various mediums, is crucial for developing a strong command of grammar, vocabulary, and overall communication skills. One effective way to achieve this is through the completion of regular practice tests, such as the English midterm exam Part B.The English midterm exam Part B is designed to assess a student's proficiency in various aspects of the English language. This includes reading comprehension, written expression, and the application of grammatical principles. By engaging in this practice exam, students have the opportunity to identify their strengths and weaknesses, allowing them to focus their study efforts on areas that require more attention.One of the key benefits of the English midterm exam Part B is the opportunity it provides for students to become familiar with the format and structure of the exam. This familiarity can help reduce anxiety and improve performance on the actual test. Additionally, thefeedback provided by the exam can help students identify specific areas of weakness, enabling them to develop targeted study strategies to address those areas.Another important aspect of the English midterm exam Part B is the development of critical thinking and analytical skills. Many of the questions on the exam require students to read and comprehend complex passages, and then apply their knowledge to answer questions or complete tasks. This process encourages students to think critically, draw inferences, and make connections between different concepts, all of which are essential skills for success in both academic and professional settings.Furthermore, the English midterm exam Part B provides an opportunity for students to practice their written communication skills. The exam often includes a writing component, where students are required to compose a well-structured, coherent, and persuasive essay. This exercise not only helps students improve their writing abilities but also encourages them to organize their thoughts, develop a clear thesis, and support their arguments with evidence.In addition to the direct benefits of the English midterm exam Part B, the process of preparing for and completing the exam can also have a positive impact on a student's overall academic performance. The discipline and dedication required to study for the exam cantranslate to improved study habits and time management skills, which can be applied to other courses and academic endeavors.Moreover, the sense of accomplishment and confidence that comes with performing well on the English midterm exam Part B can have a ripple effect on a student's motivation and engagement in their studies. This can lead to improved academic outcomes across the board, as students become more invested in their learning and more eager to apply their knowledge and skills.In conclusion, the English midterm exam Part B is a valuable tool for students seeking to improve their English language proficiency. Through regular practice and feedback, students can develop a stronger command of grammar, vocabulary, and written communication skills, while also honing their critical thinking and analytical abilities.

One way in which adults can develop their interest in a new subject is to search the Internet. A potentially much richer way is to wander through a learning environment, such as a science museum, _____31 _____out in a systematic way to introduce visitors to particular subjects. With the help of audiovisual aids, computer-_____32_____ instruction and other devices, a museum can bring a subject alive in ways that compare _____33_____ with a television programme, or a book. The kind of help that museums can give to adults can equally well be given to children, and to teachers whose pupils have come to the museum for specific _____34_____ .At a time when the demand for public accountability has never been greater, it is worth remembering that many museums receive substantial grants towards what is supposed to be stimulating educational _____35_____ for the general public.Museums accepting these grants, yet offering little more than the_____ 36_____ public lecture, or very minimal help to schoolteacher arriving at the museum with their pupils, therefore risk having such financial support severely cut back, or even _____37_____.Why is this done? The idea is that museums should not simply be aiming to be popular and entertaining, they should also be truly _____38_____ learning environments. Given that this is their aim, they should not just spread facts and theories. They should show the visitor exactly what to do with the information provided. Isolated pieces of information, _____39_____ as they may be. do not encourage museum visitors to use their intelligence. For example, if told that some fleas can jump 130 times their own height, visitors simply have no idea of how to apply this _____40_____ unless they are clearly pointed in the right direction.III. Reading ComprehensionSection 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.At a time when scientists know more than they ever have before about the inner lives of animals and when concerns about animal rights become large—many experts think that zoos need a major change if they're going to last.To some leaders in the field, the Philadelphia Zoo is the best model out there, but on the other side of the country; a _____41_____ vision of the future is playing out. At Seattle's Woodland Park Zoo, the elephant exhibit, where countless children have watched elephants play, now sits _____42_____ . The zoo, long _____43_____ as a world leader in innovative design, built a $3 million state-of-the-art facility for the species in the 1980s. But in recent years, animal-rights advocates had criticized the exhibit as inhumane for being too small and not _____44_____ the elephants' natural living area. Under pressure from activists following the death of an elephant in 2014, and thanks to new guidelines from the nation's main zoo organization, Woodland Park officials decided to _____45_____ one of its most popular exhibits and place the elephants elsewhere.Nearly two centuries after the first modern zoo opened in London's Regent's Park, the very concept of a place where families can visit and observe animals is being _____46_____ like never before. Across the US and around the world, zoos are finding that balancing the demands of entertainment, education and conservation is increasingly _____47_____. Ethical(伦理的）concerns have been coupled with _____48_____ fears—both for people and for animals—following an incident in May when officials at the Cincinnati Zoo shot and killed a 17-year-old gorilla named Haram be to protect a child who'd fallen into the exhibit. More _____49_____, there's a greater sensitivity to the environmental implications of zoos.Ask a dozen zoo directors why these places should exist today and you'll get a different answer every time. Education, conservation and science all _____50_____. But the _____51_____ answer -cultivating sympathy for animals—is becoming harder to do while providing humane care to these animals.Study after study has shown that many animal species are far smarter and more _____52_____ than previously understood, giving new insights into how they may suffer from anxiety and depression when they are removed from _____53_____. That has forced a difficult existential question: If we acknowledge that creatures suffer when they're trapped, should they be kept in zoos? Not even those who have _____54_____ the cause for more humane exhibits have an answer. "Even the best zoos today are based on captivity and coercion(囚禁与胁迫)”，says Jon Coe, the legendary zoo designer "To me. that's the _____55_____ fault.”41.

For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)A 27-year-old graphic designer from Oxfordshire in England completed a record-breaking journey across Australia yesterday. It was a 5,800 kilometre journey—and he travelled the whole distance on a skateboard. David Cornthwaite, who started skateboarding less than two years ago, decided on his journey after waking up one morning and realising he hated his job. 'I thought the only thing keeping me going is the skate to and from work. I was looking for something new/ he said. "I saw a Lonely Planet guide to Australia. There was a map on the back. Perth was on one side and Brisbane on the other and I thought, 'that'll do”.He decided to prepare by skateboarding from John O'Groats to Lands End: the two points further apart on the British mainland. That 1,442 kilometre journey, which he finished in June, took just over a month, during which an infected blister (水泡)swelled to the 'size of a tennis ball’. Crossing Australia on a skateboard brough unique challenges. The wind caused by huge road trains, the lorries that thunder across the Outback, was so powerful that he was sometimes blown off his board. Multiple blisters and aching ankles, toes and feet, have kept him in almost constant pain for the last six weeks. ,I feel like an old man. I'm not sure that anyone has ever had this many blisters/ he said. Temperatures of 40cC and above mean that he has used more than a dozen tubes of factor 30 sunscreen. 'There have been moments where I thought "this is ridiculous. I have to rest”，but I never considered giving up.’Skating an average of 50 kilometres a day and hitting speeds of up to 50kph on downhill runs, he left Perth. Western Australia, and skated across the fearsome Nullarbor Plain into South Australia. After reaching Adelaide he made his way to Melbourne and from there to Sydney A support team of seven people trailed from all the way in a four-wheel drive vehicle, which included camping equipment for night shops. The journey has smashed the previous record for a long-distance skateboard, set by an American, Jack Smith, who covered 4,800 kilometres across the US in 2003. David Comthwaite was less than three kilometres from the end of his epic journey when he hit a hole and was thrown off his skateboard, suffering cuts and bruises to his shoulders, knees, hips and elbows. ‘I was only going to 40km at the time, so although it wasn't pretty; it could have been a lot worse,’ he said.56. Why did David Comthwaite decide to skateboard across Australia?A. He wanted to break a world record.B. He was an experienced skateboarderC. He wanted to try something different.D. He was given a guidebook about Australia.51. What made David fall of his skateboard several times in Australia?A. The injuries on his feet.B. The thunderstorms in the Outback.C. The trains that race across the Outback.D. The wind created by huge lorries going past.58. Which of the following statements is true of David while he was on the journey?A. He slept in a tent during the journey.B. He skated at an average speed of 50 kph.C. He thought of giving up the journey halfway.D. He was sunburned due to the misuse of sunscreen.(B)Often enough the craft worker's place of employment in ancient Greece was set in rural isolation. Potter, for instance, found it convenient to locate their workshops near their source of clay, regardless of its relation to the center of settlement. At Corinth and Athens, however, two of the best-known potters' quarters were situated on the cities’ outskirts, and potters and makers of terra-cotta figurines (陶制俑)were also established well within the city of Athens itself Athenian black-figure and red-figure decoration, which emphasized human figures rather than animal images, was adopted between 630 and 530 B.C.: its distinctive color was the result of the skillful adjustments of the kiln’s (窑) temperature during an extended three-stage period. Whether it was the potters or the vase-painters who initiated changes in firing is unclear; the functions of making and decorating were usually divided between them, but neither group can have been so specialized that they did not share in the concerns of the other.The broad use of terra-cotta was such that workers in clay could generally afford to limit . themselves to either decorated ware and housewares like cooking pots and storage jars or building materials. Some sixth-and fifth-century B.C. Athenian pottery establishments are known to have concentrated on a limited range of fine ware, but a rural pottery establishment on the island of Thasos produced many types of pottery and roof tiles too, presumably to meet local demand. Molds were used to create particular effects for some products or to facilitate mass production. There were also a number of poor-quality figurines and painted pots produced in quantity by easy, inexpensive means, as numerous featureless statuettes and unattractive cases testify.60. The passage mainly discusses ancient Greek pottery and its__________.A. unusual materialsB. production techniquesC. similarity to other craftsD. resemblance to earlier pottery61 . Which of the following advantage did terra-cotta have?A. It had a lasting shine on the surface.B. It could be used for many purposes.C. It did not break during the firing process.D. It was less expensive than other available materials.62. Which of the following statements is true of ancient Greek potters and vase painters?A. They seldom produced inferior ware.B. They stuck to their way of producing pieces.C. It is almost impossible to draw a clear line between them.D. It is hard to explain why they didn't make any human images’(C)How does one protect elephants from ivory poachers (象牙偷猎者)in an African reserve the size of a small country? This task typically falls to park rangers who may spend weeks patrolling the bush on foot sometimes lacking basic devices such as radios, tents or even socks. They are largely losing to poachers.To stop the losses, conservationists are increasingly turning to technology. The latest tools include real-time tracking collars, developed by the Kenya-based nonprofit Save the Elephants and currently being used on more than 325 animals in 10 countries--- The organization's researchers wrote algorithms (算法)that use signals from the collars to automatically detect when an animal stops moving (indicating it may be dead), slows down (suggesting it may be injured) or heads toward a danger zone, such as an area known for poaching. Unlike traditional tracking collars, many of which send geographical coordinates infrequently or store them onboard for later retrieval, these devices' real-time feeds enable rangers to react quickly. In several cases, they have led to arrests.The amount of data produced by the new collars quickly became overwhelming, however. So Save the Elephants partnered with Vulcan- a company created by Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen—which engineered an open-source tracking application for iOS and the Web called the Domain Awareness System. The DAS app sends alerts when a potential problem arises—if field sensors pick up on human intruders, for example. It also integrates a wealth of other information, including the positions of nearby rangers, vehicles and aircraft, as well as detected gunshots, camera trap feeds, arrest and crime-scene records, weather, and more.Some of the technologies used in the collars—GPS, onboard data storage, phone or satellite receivers—are found in everyday devices, including smartphones. Yet in this case these tools are being applied in an exceptional way, according to Jake Wall, geospatial science adviser for Save the Elephants. It is the first time all the data that DAS uses have been presented in one neat feed and map, he says.An early version of the program is being tested at four sites in Africa, with a 10-site expansion planned for September. At Lewa Wildlife Conservancy in Kenya, DAS is already seen as a game changer after its launch less than a year ago, says Batian Craig, director of 51 Degrees, a private company that oversees security operations at Lewa.63. The latest tracking collars are different from traditional ones in that __________.A. they can send signals immediatelyB. they withdraw information at any timeC. they can store more information onboardD. they send geographical coordinates infrequently64. Why did Save the Elephants partner with Vulcan?A. It has met with financial problems.B. It hopes to make a big profit in the future.C. It doesn't know how to advance its collar.D. It can't handle the collected data very well.65. What does Batian Craig say about DAS?A. It will make a big difference.B. It was launched in September.C. It will have a new version soon.D. It needs to be tested at more sites.66. Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?A. How Elephants LiveB. Find My ElephantC. Elephant-Friendly AreasD. Elephants VS PoachersSection CDirections: Complete the following passage by using the sentences given below. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.Ancient China's Terracotta Army （兵马俑）One of the greatest archaeological（考古的）finds of all time is the Terracotta Army of ancient China. Discovered accidentally in 1974, in Xi'an Province, in China, when local farmers were digging for water, over 8.000 baked clay figures have since been found.__________67__________ Emperor Qin was one of the most important rulers in Chinese history. After becoming emperor of the state of Qin at the age of 13. he conquered six other states over the next 25 years, and became the first emperor of a united China.In Qin's time, the ancient Chinese believed that their "afterlife" was very similar to the life on earth. Consequently, when they died and were buried, objects which would be useful to them in the next life were buried with them. __________ 68__________ In addition, the emperor ordered an army to be built so that his palace would be protected.__________69__________ In ancient China, however, they used a completely different method.A huge production line was established to make the tens of thousands of individual human and animal statues which Emperor Qin demanded. All the different pails of the body such as legs, arms, and heads were made separately and then assembled. The same process was also used for other pieces such as ears, beards, and armour. When the whole figure was completed, it was baked in an oven.The terracotta figures are life-like and life-sized. Each one has a different facial expression and hairstyle, as well as uniforms which indicate their job and rank. Among the figures there are ordinary soldiers, archers, and officers, together with horses. They were discovered arranged in military formation ready to protect the emperor in the afterlife.In 1987, the tomb and army of Emperor Qin were declared a World Heritage site by UNESCO. __________70__________ The Terracotta Army clearly deserves this honour, as nearly two million people from all over the world visit it each year.IV. Summary WritingDirections: Read the following passage. Summarize in no more than 60 words the main idea of the passage and how it is illustrated. Use your own words as far as possible.Common Characteristics of FolktalesMost of us know some very old folktales. People shared these stories orally for years before writing them down. Since people told stories instead of writing them, the stories changed in between places and with each storyteller. Each new storyteller made changes to the stories based on his own traditions and culture. For example, many cultures have stories like the raven tale about how people got light. In these tales, though, the main character is another type of animal.Next the characters in folktales are similar They are usually ordinary characters who do extraordinary things. They usually have only one or two strong characteristics. For instance, thechief in the Raven story is selfish and not very smart. But Raven is very generous—he wants to help people. And he's very clever as he finds a way to get the light . In addition, often the characters in folktales are not people but animals with human qualities. They talk, make plans, and have strong emotions. Small animals such as the popular spider and turtle play this role in West African stories. In summary, the characters of folktales are simple but often clever in achieving their goals. Finally, the plot, or what happens in the folktale, is usually exciting. Most folktales begin with an expression like “a long time ago" and then move very quickly into the story, which starts with a problem. For instance, a strong, bad character often gives a weaker character a task and promises something if he completes the task. The weaker character often uses clever tricks, special skills, or magic to complete the task. In the end of a folktale, the good characters usually win and the bad characters lose. In conclusion, the plot of a folktale is interesting.So, in summary, we know that the tradition of folktales is very old. They are told all over the world, but they share several of the same features, as said above.V.

高三上学期一轮复习周测英语试题Word版含答案
第一部分阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。
AIt’s rare that you see the words “shyness” and “letter” in the same sentence.After all,the common viewpoint is that those outgoing and sociable guys make great public speakers and excellent networkers and that those shy people are not.A survey conducted by USA Today referred to 65 percent of executives who believed shyness to be a barrier to leadership.Interestingly,the same article stresses that roughly 40 percent of leaders actually are quite shy—they're just better at adapting themselves to situational demands.Bill Gates,Warren Buffet and Charles Schwab are just a few "innies".Unlike their outgoing counterparts who are more sensitive to rewards and risk-taking,shy people take a cautious approach to chance.Rather than the flashy chit-chat that defines social gathering,shy people listen attentively to what others say and absorb it before they speak.They're not thinking about what to say while the other person is still talking,but rather listening so they can learn what to say.Along the same lines,shy people share a common love of learning.They are intrinsically（内在地）motivated and therefore seek content regardless of achieving an outside standard.Being shy can also bring other benefits.Remember being in school and hearing the same kids contribute,until shy little Johnny,who almost never said a word,cut in?Then what happened? Everyone turned around to look with great respect at little Johnny actually talking.This is how shy people made good use of their power of presence: they "own" the moment by speaking calmly and purposefully,which translate to a positive image.Shyness is often related to modesty.Not to say that limelight-seekers aren't modest,but shy people tend to have an accurate sense of their abilities and achievements.As a result,they are able to acknowledge mistakes,imperfections, knowledge gaps and limitations.Since shy people have a lower sensitivity to outside rewards than outgoing ones,they're more comfortable working with little information and sticking to their inner desires.Shy people are alsomore likely to insist on finding solutions that aren't primarily apparent.Don't believe me?Maybesuccessful person.The myth that shy people are less effective leaders than their outgoing fellows is just a misunderstanding.Make wise use of your personality strengths to lead your business no matter what side of the range you fall on.1.We can learn from Paragraph 2 that_______.A.shy people are sensitive to rewardsB.shy people care more about contentC.outgoing people are more careful about chancesD.outgoing people consider what to learn while listening2.The example of Johnny shows______.A.shy people are likely to be modestB.hardworking students speak little in publicC.some students keep silent on purpose at schoolD.shy people may have an advantage in discussion3.We can learn from the underlined sentence in Paragraph 5 that______.A.shyness results in successB.shyness contributes to popularityC.outside reward leads to insistenceD.uncertainty counts more than certainty4.The author supports his ideas mainly by______.A.giving definitions and presenting research resultsB.explaining problems and providing solutionsC.quoting authorities and making evaluationsD.making contrasts and gibing examplesB“Can’t hold a candle to”is a popular expression.When there wasn’t electricity,someone would have a servant light his way by holding a candle.The expression meant that the person who cannot hold a candle to you is not fit even to be your servant.Now,it means such a person cannot compare or compete.Another expression is “hold your tongue.”It means to be still and not talk.“H old your tongue”is not something you would tell a friend.But a parent or teacher might use the expression to quiet a noisy child.“Hold out”is an expression one hears often in sports reports and labor news.It means to refuse to play or work. Professional football and baseball players “hold out” if their team refuses to pay them what they think they are worth.The expression “hold up” has several different meanings.One is a robbery.A man with a gun may say,“This is a hold up.Give me your money.”Another meaning is to delay.A driver who was held up by heavy traffic might be late for work.Another meaning is for a story to be considered true after an investigation.A story can hold up if it is proved true.“Hold on”is another expression,which means wait or stop.As you leave for school,your brother may say,“Hold on,you forgot your book.” It is used to ask a telephone caller to wait and not hang up his telephone.Our final expression is “hold the line.”That means to keep a problem or situation from getting worse—to hold steady.For example,the president may say he will “hold the line on taxes.”He means there will be no increase in taxes.5.The expression “can’t hold a candle to” can be used when _______.A.some footballers refuse to play a gameB.someone else is wanted on the phoneC.someone is not qualified for a positionD.someone was delayed by heavy traffic6.The tune of the phrase “hold your tongue” is probably a little_______.A.amusingB.politeC.unfriendlyD.offensive7.If some teachers “hold out”,they probably______.A.change their attitudeB.refuse to workC.make a compromiseD.show their devotion8.Which of the following sentences can convey positive meanings?A.I was late as I was held up by a hold up.B.Hold on!You have to pay the bill,sir.C.You can’t even hold a candle to Michael.D.I promise to hold the line on house prices.CHow can we reduce the risk?There are four general approaches to dealing with volcanic（火山似的）dangers.We can try to keep the danger from occurring—often an impossible task.We can try to change its path or reduce its impact on existing development. We can take steps to protect future development.We can also do our best to have disaster response plans in place before they are needed.Removing the ThreatClearly,there is no way to stop an eruption.We can,however,attempt to reduce the eruption’s effects by strengthening structures,for example,building protective works such as walls to make lava（熔岩）flow away from developed areas.Such efforts can be and have been successful,but are of limited use in a large-scale（范围）eruption.Planning for the FutureProtecting future development from volcanic dangers is a simple task.Before building houses,we should judge the risk.If the risk seems too great,a safer location should be found.This type of planning is very effective,but all too often,people are drawn to the lush（葱郁的）,rolling land of a quiet volcano.Disaster Preparedness（预案）When a volcano comes to life,a few weeks may not be enough to avoid a tragedy.Planning is the key to saving lives.Well before the warning signs occur,people must be educated about volcanic dangers.Escape plans must be in munication between scientists,officials,the media,and the general public should be practiced.Emergency measures must be thought out and agreed upon.If you doubt the importance of these efforts,take another look at past volcanic tragedies,such as the eruption of Nevado del munication failures left the town of Armero unprepared for escape.When a deadly mudflow came down the slope（斜坡）,21,000 people—90 percent of the town’s people—died.9.The passage is intended for_______.A.the general publicB.architectsC.adventurersD.geographers10.When building houses,people tend to______.A.judge volcanic dangers carefullyB.take volcanic dangers seriouslyC.live near a quiet volcanoD.find a safer place far away from a volcano11.The writer mentioned Nevado del Ruiz to prove______.A.the failure to keep volcanic dangers from happeningB.the importance of preparing for a volcanic eruptionC.the bravery of the people in Armero TownD.the uncertainty of volcano’s damageDI was born and raised in Minnesota,the USA,but us an adult I have mostly lived in Europe and Africa.I teach cross-cultural management at the International Business School near Paris.For the last 15 years,I’ve studied how people in different parts of the world build trust,communicate,and make decisions especially in the workplace.While traveling in Tokyo recently with Japanese colleague,I gave a short talk to a group of 20 managers.At the end,I asked whether there were any questions or comments.No hands went up,so I went to sit down.My colleague whispered to me,“I think there actually were some comments,Erin.Do you mind if I try?”I agreed,but I guessed it a waste of breath.He asked the group again,“Any comments or questions?”Still,no one raised a hand,but this time he looked very carefully at each person in the silent audience.Gesturing to one of them,he said,“Do you have something to add?”To my amazement,she responded “Yes,thank you.” and asked me a very interesting question.My colleague repeated this several times,looking directly at the audience and asking for more questions or comments.After the session,I asked my colleague,“How do you know that those people had questions?”He hesitated,not sure how to explain it,and then said,“It has to do with how bright their eyes are.”He continued,“In Japan,we don’t make as much direct eye contact as you do in the West.So when you asked if there were any comments,most people were not looking directly at you.But a few people in the group were looking right at you,and their eyes were bright.That indicates that they would be happy to have you call on them.”I thought to myself I would never have learned from my upbringing in Minnesota.Since then,I try to focus on understanding behavior in other cultures I encounter,and keep finding the bright eyes in the room.12.What can we conclude from the first paragraph?A.Life in Minnesota has made the author worn out.B.The author enjoys traveling around the world.C.Different cultures are kind of familiar to the author.D.The author may start his own business in the future.13.Hearing the colleague whispering,the author______.A.went back to his seat and got seatedB.knew his colleague had some questionsC.owed a big debt of gratitude to his colleagueD.thought his colleague would get nowhere14.Where does the author’s colleague probably come from?A.Japan.B.America.C.Africa.D.France15.Which is the proper title for the passage?A.Focusing on Behavior in Cultures.B.Looking at Another Culture in the Eye.C.Sharing Different Cultures in Tokyo.D.Admiring the Beauty in the Eye.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

I am very excitingexcitedat the good news that you havebeen admitted into Harvard. Fir st I’d like to offer my congratulation congratulationsto you on yourgreat success.SinceAsyou know, I’m busy preparing for the College Entrance Examination. Dayafter day I work very hard butandhave to stay uplaterlatedoing piles of papers. Therefore,I’m always feeling stressed out because of my efforts seem to be fruitless, which had hasmade me upset and tired. Will you be kind enough to give some advice on howwhatI shoulddo.I would appreciate thatitif you could write back to me as soon as possible.Yours,Li Hua范文：My experience of learning English after classI'm glad I have won the first prize in the English Contest, which completely contributes to my after-class English learning.I often take part in the English Corner and practice speaking English. There are many participants in the corner and we can talk about any topics in English. By doing this, I have improved my pronunciation and intonation. Most important of all, I have conquered my shyness and timidness. I can talk to anybody boldly in English. So I didn't feel nervous in the contest at all. At the same time I insist on keeping diaries in English every day. I will try my best to bring what I have learnt to use. Thus my knowledge has been reviewed and enlarged. I also visit English reading websites to read much. Learning English depends on reading widely and largely. Those sites provide many English articles of all levels and I can find appropriate ones to read. The dictionary in the computer can help me deal with the new vocabulary quickly. Therefore I benefit much from the reading.Above are my three main learning methods of learning English after class. They are helpful and convenient to me. I hope they are also beneficial for you.Li HuaText 1M: I' m thinking about where to go for a bite tonight. Any suggestions, Barbar?W: Well, how about the French restaurant near the KFC? (1)Actually, i've had enough of our canteen foodText 2M: My boss is going to be mad at me! I,m going to be an hour late for work. The traffic is terrible today.(2)W: you're always late for work. You know traffic is bad in the city. You need to leave home earlierText 3W: Would you like something to drink with your meal? We have wine and beer. The cup are by the front, and if you pay an extra $10, you can grab more anytime.M: You mean I can fill my cup again and again? That actually sounds good. (3)Text 4M: Oh, your son is so cute! I remember when my boy was that age. he's all grown up now.W: Oh, Im just looking after my grandson until his parents return. (4)My daughter and her husband are just inside buying an ice creamM: Wow! I never would have guessed.Text 5M: When was the last time you did some gardening? It looks like your garden is being taken over by weeds.W: That,s a special type of plant that spreads out along the soil. In a couple of weeks, you' ll be able to see tons of flowers. (5)You dont have to water them frequently, either.Text 6W: Wow, that was an excellent turkey dinner. Isn,t there some old custom where we go around the table, and everyone says what they're thankful for?M: i'm thankful for my wonderful friends, (6)with whom I have been lucky enough to stay in touch after all these years. And for my family, (6)who have always been there for me,no matter how tough things were. Your turnW: I was joking actually, but I guess I started it.(7)Hmm. OK, I got one. i'm thankful for all this red wine and delicious turkey!M: Come on, you must have something better than that.W: i'li be than kul when we can move on to the next person. (7)Text 7M: Have you talked to Melanie lately? I heard you two got into a fight. Is everything okay?W: I dont know. p'm sure the story you heard was a lot different from what actuallyhappened. (8)M:I just heard you two weren't talking, but I know what you mean. The truest version of any story is the one closest to the source. The more people that tell it, the more it changes.(8)W: That was how this whole thing started! I told Melanie a secret about somebody, and I made her promise not to tell anyone(9)because I didn't want them to get hurtM: So, she couldn't keep a secret. (9)And did people find out it was you that told Melanie?W: Then why do you think i'm so mad at her!(9)Now everyone is mad at mel uo wM: You two will work it out. You,re always best friendsText 8M: Oh, Anne, that was a wonderful dinner. (10)W: Oh, thank youM: Can I give you a hand with the dishes?W: Uh,.. i'li do them myself later. Hey, would you like some coffee?M: Uh, thanks a lot. I'd love some. Oh, Anne, I didnt realize you were such a good cook. (10)W: Ha-ha. Actually, I've only Just learned how, you know. It's because I've been taking these courses. M: Why, I cant cook at all, can't even boil an egg.W: No kidding. Well, you know, if you want to, you could take a couple or classes at the llege and learn how to do it, too. (11)M: Ah, thanks a lot. Uh, I wonder if I could possibly use your phone. (12)Mine is out of power I have to call my secretary about tomorrows work plan. (12)W: Okay. Here you are!Text9M: Wow, you guys really did a good job setting up this high school reunion(13)Look at this place. Youve got a DJ, a band, and all of our old photos everywhere. This must have been expensive. I'm Brian, by the way.W: Oh, hello. My name is Susie. Yeah, I had a lot of help from some of your old classmates They hired me through the hotel. I,m actually friends with the Wagner sisters. Do you know them?M: Do I know them? Of course I do! Honey was a star athlete, and Donna was in all our high school plays. She has now made her name known in Broadway, hasnt she? (14) Anyway, I thought this event was supposed to be held at the V ogue Ballroom across town. What happened? (15)W: Yes, we were thinking about it, since Donna knows so many people that work there. But it wasn't the right setting that we were looking for. Here, people can move around and talk as much as they want. There is a lot more space and much more light. The Vogue Ballroom is better for business dinners. (15) M: That makes sense. So, when will things get started?W: Well, in about an hour, one of the sisters, Honey, will give a formal welcome and W introduction.(16)Then well have a show with all the photos we were able to collect from over the years. Then dinner and dancing.M: Sounds like fun. I'm going to go catch up with everyone. Thanks!Text 10In Italy, " waiting coffee "has a 100-year history.(17) It was a beautiful custom. When a person entered a cafe and ordered a cup of coffee, he didn t pay just for one, but for two cups, allowing someone less fortunate who entered later to have a cup of coffee for free. The waiter would keep a record of the purchase. And when a lucky man walked into the cafe and asked "Is there anything waiting? " the waiter would nod and give him a cup of coffee for free It's an elegant way to show kindness and is based on good faith. (18)The givers and receivers never meet each other. The giver doesnt show off and the receiver doesn't have to show his thanks. Now, tough times in much of Europe are bringing back this tradition. It's said that the practice is now spreading to other parts of Europe, too. In S pain, a young man started a network called "Cafes Pendientes"and promoted waiting coffee in many coffee shops. In France, several cafes now do a similar thing. There is even a website that lists cafes that now offer waiting coffee.(19)The places on the list include the UK, Hungary, Australia and Canada. But not everyone thinks waiting coffee is a good idea, One magazine article has pointed out that the practice could result in greedy people taking advantage of others' good will. (20)Also, it adds that if we want to help poor people, perhaps we should try having actual contact with them in order to truly understand their situations and needs.。

They’re probably not to everyone’s taste,but believe it or not,these are actually real jobs done by real people.Here are the top five strangest jobs in the world:1)Professional Sleeper:A hotel in Finland hired a member of staff as a“professional sleeper”to test the comfort of their beds.The person sleeps in a different bed each night and writes a review about her satisfaction with each one.2)Drying Paint Watcher:No,this isn’t a joke.Someone actually earns a living watching paint dry.A man in the UK currently has the job and he spends his days painting sheets of cardboard(纸板)to test how long new paint mixes take to dry and watching for changes in color and texture(质地).3)Full-time Netflix Viewer:Imagine being paid to watch TV all day!Well,for one lucky employee,this dream has become a flix has hired someone to watch all of their content before it is available to the public and their role is to review and assign(分配)each program its correct tag,which helps us viewers find exactly what we’re looking for.4)Train Pusher:If you think the London Underground is bad,you should see the trains in Japan.“Oshiyas”are hired to help cram(塞进)as many people onto a train as possible by pushing them from the outside until the doors will close.5)Professional Mourner:It is a tradition in South East Asia that a loud funeral(葬礼)will help the dead as they travel to the afterlife,so professional mourners are hired to cry loudly throughout the service.21.A person doing the professional sleeper job is required to__________________.A.sleep in different hotelsB.help others fall asleepC.check the comfort of bedsD.write reviews about hotels22.Which job involves classifying things?A.Drying Paint Watcher.B.Full-time Netflix Viewer.C.Train Pusher.D.Professional Mourner.23.What can we infer about the jobs above?A.The drying paint watcher’s job requires time and a lot of patience.B.The professional mourner’s job is to help comfort the family of the dead.C.Train pushers in London are hired to push people onto a train until it is full up.D.It is lucky to be a full-time Netflix viewer though the pay is low.BOn Wednesday,Puerto Rico began struggling to recover from a series of earthquakes that have hit the island ernor Wanda Vázquez called a state of emergency on Tuesdayafter the island’s strongest earthquake in over100years.The earthquakes have shaken the island,killing at least one person,destroying buildings and homes,and leaving about two-thirds of the island without power.The largest of the earthquakes came before daylight on Tuesday and had a magnitude(震级)of6.4.That’s the strongest earthquake recorded on the island since1918.The center of the earthquake was in the sea just south of Puerto Rico.The areas most strongly affected have been along the southern coast of the island,especially in the cities of Ponce,Guayanilla,Guánica and Yauco.Several buildings,including at least one church and one school,were destroyed.Many homes were also damaged.As many as350people were left homeless.In some areas,patients went outdoors from their hospital beds in case the hospital got damaged.Tuesday’s big earthquake caused a cut to electrical power all through the island.The power cut was meant to protect the electrical system,but another earthquake damaged an important power plant.So far,about500,000customers have got power back,but around a million are still without electricity.Around300,000homes were left without drinking water.Puerto Rico’s governor,Wanda Vázquez has declared a state of emergency.This allows the island to release emergency money and request money and help from the US.On Tuesday night, hundreds of people in southern Puerto Rico chose to sleep outside so they wouldn’t be caught in a collapsing(倒塌的)house if more earthquakes came.The island has been shaken by hundreds of smaller earthquakes since December28,2019.

the nursing home she manages in Shanghai.As the director of the Jiufeng nursing home in Liantang,Qingpu district,Anastasija Puzankova’s main responsibilities include managing the nursing staff,attending internal training and so on.Seeing as she can communicate fluently with her colleagues in Mandarin(普通话),there was no need for her to even pick up the local dialect.But driven by the desire to understand her residents better,she spent a year learning the dialect.“I had always wondered how the elderly were getting along with others,or if they were well cared for.I realized that I could better serve them and understand their concerns if I spoke their dialect,”says the35-year-old,who also speaks Russian,English,Latvian,French and Spanish.“The elderly people need more care and attention than we think.We have to try our best to make them happy and feel at home.”When family visits and group activities were stopped temporarily during the coronavirus outbreak,Puzankova started purchasing vegetable seeds and growing them in the field near the nursing home so that the residents can observe the plants growing from their windows.She throws monthly birthday parties for the elderly and creates a festive mood in the home for some traditional festivals.What’s more,she also frequently organizes handicraft classes and activities to inspire the minds of the residents.Puzankova says although the pace of life in Shanghai is speeding up,working with the elderly acts as a reminder of the importance of slowing down and looking after one’s family and health.Looking ahead to the future,the Latvian is planning to offer her services to more seniors in the surrounding areas,especially those with mental problems.“I simply like communicating with people,understanding their personalities and offering help when they are in need.Making an elderly person happy isn’t hard.It just takes a little time,love and thought.”28.Anastasija Puzankova spent

desire to help others.D.Her pity for the elderly.31.What kind of person is Anastasija Puzankova?A.Talkative and generous.B.Proud and serious.C.Caring and responsible.D.Energetic and smart.DLondon:Background music is bad for your health,campaigners have claimed,as they told Britain’s National Health Service(NHS)to reject suggestions to play more pop songs.Crusaders(改革者)for quiet have written to Matt Hancock,the Health Secretary,insistingno more“noise”is put into public areas in UK hospitals.Peers and doctors had advised the Department of Health and Social Care to pay for a full licence to allow NHS trusts to play pop hits in sickrooms and waiting rooms in an attempt to cheer up staff and patients.Pipedown campaigners have urged Hancock to reject the proposals and preserve silence in hospitals,claiming unwanted noise reduced personal freedom and raised levels of stress.In a letter to the minister,the Pipedown Campaign for Freedom from Piped Music stated:“Music when unwanted—especially when it cannot be stopped or escaped—too often simply becomes noise.And all noise damages human health,both physical and mental.It raises blood pressure, weakens the immune system(免疫系统)and increases the production of stress hormones(荷尔蒙).The health of patients should surely be given more importance than the interests of the music industry.”Dr Julia Jones,a campaigner who signed a petition(请愿书)in favor of pop music,said:“There is so much evidence to show the beneficial effects of music on the brain,and we’re denying that to healthcare professionals.”Pipedown campaigners led by Nigel Rodgers have countered the claims,arguing that unwelcome music is nothing more than noise that serves to finally cause stress to those forced to listen to it.“As Florence Nightingale long ago pointed out,‘unnecessary noise is the most cruel abuse (虐待)of care which can be harmful to either the sick or the well’.”Rodgers said it could be cruel to play pop hits for uninterested patients who may be unable to move away from the noise.32.Some peers and doctors believe playing pop music in hospitals can______________.A.help the patients recoverB.create a relaxing atmosphereC.lift people’s spiritsD.relieve stress33.Why can music be bad for patients according to Pipedown campaigners’letter to the minister?A.Because the sound of music affects patients’nervous system.B.Because it has a bad effect on health when it is not wanted.C.Because music is regarded as a kind of noise in the UK.D.Because the patients need to pay extra money for the music industry.34.What does the underlined word“countered”probably mean?A.Objected.B.Assessed.C.Changed.D.Supported.35.What is the main idea of this text?A.A proposal to play music in hospitals.B.The disadvantages of music for patients.C.A campaign against pop music in the UK.D.Arguments on playing pop music in UK hospitals.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。

2017届高三级英语周测试题一、阅读（共两节，满分35分）1．阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
（共10小题，每小题2.5分，满分25分）AWhat's on Your Pet's Mind?In 1977, Irene Pepperberg of Harvard University began studying what was on another creature's mind by talking to it. Her first experiments began with Alex. Alex was a one-year-old African grey parrot and Irene taught him to produce the sounds of the English language. "I thought if he learned to communicate, I could ask him questions about how he sees the world."At the time, most scientists didn't believe animals had any thoughts. They thought animals were more like robots but didn't have the ability to think or feel. Of course, if you own a pet you probably disagree. But it is the job of a scientist to prove this and nowadays more scientists accept that animals can think for themselves."That's why I started my studies with Alex," Irene said, "Some people actually called me crazy for trying this."Nowadays, we have more and more evidence that animals have all sorts of mental abilities. Sheep can recognize faces. Chimpanzees（黑猩猩）use a variety of tools and even use weapons to hunt. And Alex the parrot became a very good talker.Thirty years after the Alex studies began, Irene was still giving him English lessons up until his recent death. For example, if Alex was hungry he could say "want grape". Alex could count to six and was learning the sounds for seven and eight. "He has to hear the words over and over before he can correctly say them." Irene said, after pronouncing "seven" for Alex a few times in a row. Alex could also tell the difference between colors, shapes, sizes, and materials (e.g. wood and metal). Before he finally died, Alex managed to say "seven".Another famous pet that proved some animals have greater mental skills was a dog called Rico. He appeared on a German TV game show in 2011. Rico knew the names of 200 different toys and easily learned the names of new ones. When Rico became famous, many other dog owners wanted to show how clever their pets were. Another dog called Betsy could understand 300 words.One theory for dogs' ability to learn a language is that they have been close companions to humans for many centuries and so their ability to understand us is constantly evolving. While animals can't do what humans do yet, some scientists believe that examples like Alex and Rico prove that evolution develops intelligence, as well as physical appearance.1．Irene wanted to find out ．A．what a parrot thinks B．why a parrot can speakC．how parrots make sounds D．if parrots speak English2．Alex learnt new words by .A．singing them B．reading them C．writing them D．rehearing them 3．The article concludes that ．A．our pets understand what we sayB．dogs may speak to humans one dayC．humans are related to chimpanzeesD．mental ability can evolve in animalsBIt's amazing how we grow from careless kids to responsible teens. What happens in the course that makes us responsible now? It's the seed that we sow in the beginning which grows and becomes a huge tree. As I sit here, silently thinking about my growth, I wonder over some questions which don't have an answer but it's because of such unanswerable situations that life has become a roller coaster ride.As a kid, I used to read a lot of story books. In one particular book, I read a story of a bird. From then on, that has become an integral (必不可少的) part of my life. It described a male bird which takes a lot of pain to build a nest and the female bird takes shelter in it and nourishes the baby. When the bird learns to fly, the whole family flies off to a different place leaving behind the beautiful nest for other birds to grow their family in it. It made me wonder. How could they so easily sacrifice their house built with so much effort?One night, when I was deep in sleep, I got this particular dream. I was walking miles on the endless road, totally isolated but lined with beautiful trees on the either side. Fascinated by the greenery, I marched towards it only to end up deeper and deeper into the greenery. I happened to stop upon seeing something. It was a massive, wonderful house. I fell in love with that amazing part of art. Yeah, it was indeed a piece of art with every nook and corner touched artistically and lovingly. I don't know why I felt that it was done lovingly. Maybe because, things turn out to be beautiful only when we put our love into it — just like the food prepared by mom which tastes more delicious with her love.I explored the house only to fall more in love with it. There was a sloping roof which matched with the greenery around；the large central open courtyard reminded me of the activities that might have taken place there which felt lively even now when it is completely deserted. The small water body that kept the house cool added to the beauty of the house — of course, it was all dried up now. It's really wonderful how such things add life to the spaces which otherwise just become structures. Such liveliness and happening turns the house into a home. They say 'THE HOME IS WHERE THE HEART IS', but now I began to feet it. This is where my heart belongs. This is what I'm destined to do.When I woke up from the dream, I was clear about everything. I realized where that mile of walk was intending me to lead. I realized what message my dream wanted to convey me. And years later, when finally my turn of choosing my destination came, I simply closed my eyes, held that book in my hand, pressed it against my chest and relived the dream. When I opened my eyes, I was sure what to do. I decided to choose the road — less traveled. Yes, I took up architecture as my profession because this is what I am destined to do. I wanted to do the same thing that the male bird in the story did, to take pain in building a beautiful house and let others stay in it. This is my dream come true and the happiness that I gain now from this profession is indescribable. 4．When the writer read the story of the bird, he probably felt .A．upset B．confused C．amazed D．amused5．To the writer, "the seed that we sow in the beginning" (Paragraph 1) is .A．the house in his dream B．his mother's foodC．the story of the bird D．his story books6．The above passage is mainly about .A．how the writer finally becomes an honest citizenB．where the true meaning of responsibility liesC．what we need to do when we are seeking fortuneD．why the writer takes up architecture as his careerCYou may have heard of the man who decided to repair the roof of his house. To be safe, he tied a rope around his waist and threw the other end of it over the top of the house. He asked his son to tie it to something secure. The boy fastened the safety rope to the bumper of their car parked in the driveway. It seemed like a good idea at the time. But a little while later, his wife, unaware of the rope securing her husband, she started the car and drove away. Imagine what the result would be.This story, factual or not, points to a great truth. It is a truth about where we place our security; about those things to which we've tied our safety lines. What is your rope tied to? Think about it. What do you depend on to keep you from disaster? Is your rope tied to a good job? Is it tied to a relationship with somebody you rely on? Is it tied to a company or an organization?Writer Susan Taylor tells of discovering how unreliable some of our safety lines really are. She tells of lying in bed in the early hours of the morning when an earthquake struck. As her house shook, she fell out of bed and managed to go to the doorway, watching in horror as her whole house cracked down around her. Where her bed had once stood, she later discovered nothing but a pile of bricks. She lost everything —every button, every dish, her automobile, every article of clothing. Susan trembled, scared and crying, in the darkness. In the early morning she cried and called out for help.Thoroughly exhausted, she thought that maybe she should be listening for rescuers instead of crying. So she grew still and listened. In the silence around her, the only sound she heard was the beating of her own heart. It occurred to her then that at least she was still alive and, amazingly enough, unhurt.She thought about her situation. In the stillness, fear abandoned her and a feeling of indescribable peace and happiness flooded in, the likes of which she had never before known. It was an experience that was to change her life forever.In the deepest part of her being, Susan realized a remarkable truth. She realized she had nothing to fear. Amazingly, whether or not she was ever rescued, whether she ever made it out alive, she sensed she had nothing to fear.For the first time in her life she understood that her true security did not depend on those things in which she had placed her trust. It lay deep within. And also for the first time, she knew what it was to be content in all circumstances. She realized that whether she had plenty or hardly enough, somehow she would be all right. She just knew it. She later wrote, "Before the quake I appeared very successful, but my life was out of balance. I wasn't happy because I had been making money and always wanting more. My home, my job, my clothes, a relationship —I thought they were my security. It took an earthquake and losing everything I owned for me to discover that my security had been with me all along...There's a power within us that we can depend upon no matter what is happening around us."She had tied her rope to the wrong things. It took a disaster for her to understand that those things are not trustworthy. So she let go of the rope and discovered peace. She found that her true security was a power within-dependable and sure.What is your rope tied to? And what would happen if you found the courage to let go of it? 7．Why was Susan crying in the darkness?A．Because she was afraid of staying in the dark.B．Because she wanted to be heard by the rescuers.C．Because she was frightened and felt helpless.D．Because she had tied her rope to the wrong thing.8．What did Susan feel after she thought about her situation?A．She felt very peaceful. B．She felt she was still alive.C．She felt completely hopeless. D．She wanted to change her life forever.9．How did Susan like interpersonal relationship and income before the earthquake?A．They were alternative. B．They were unnecessary.C．They were very important. D．They were among some choices.10．Which of the following should be the best title?A．What to Depend on. B．A Rope Tied to a Car.C．Please Let Go of Your Trust. D．An Experience from an Earthquake.二、英语知识运用(共两节，满分55分)1．完形填空(共20小题; 每小题2分，满分30分)阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A，B，C，D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

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.Internet companies often receive requests by law enforcement for customer information to help with ongoing investigation. Rarely, however, (21) a court order hit up a Web hosting company for upwards of 1.3 million IP addresses to find out who's been visiting a particular Web site.That's exactly what happened recently when the U.S. Justice Department tried to get the company Dream Host to turn over contact information, e-mails, photos and data related to a Web site called DisruptJ20. DisruptJ20 (22) (involve) in organizing protests against the Trump administration.Dream Host bristled at the court order and filed (23) appeal. Company special counsel Chris Ghazarian told me that Dream Host rarely gets requests to turn over that much client information. IP addresses, in particular, can identify (24) computers visited a site, when they visited, what they viewed and (25) how long. IP address can also be used to reveal a Web user’s identity.The Justice Department later revised its request, saying it was not going to force Dream Host to turn over text and photos from blog posts written but never (26) (post) to DisruptJ20.A Washington, D.C., Superior Court then (27) (far) amended the government’s request. The judge asked the Justice Department to list the names of all government investigators who will have access to Dream Host's data and to explain how it will search through the data to gather evidence against Trump dissenters. Justice (28) (bar) from sharing the information with other government agencies.We’ll see whether the government ends up prosecuting(起诉) anyone (29) (use) Dream Host's data. If that happens it could drive digital civil disobedience to encrypted (加密) mobile apps or possibly the Dark web, a largely uncharted online realm (30) it's easier to remain anonymous.That would raise disturbing questions about the state of citizens’ First Amendment11 rights in the U.S these days.21.【答案】does/has/will【解析】rarely作为半否定词放在句首，句子要部分倒装，本空缺一个助动词，根据时态判断出答案可为does/has/will。

That may sound like science fiction. 1 , it’s only cautiously optimistic.If turning 100 becomes normal, then the authors predict “a fundamental redesign of life”. We currently live “t he three-stage life”: education, career, then retirement.T he book 2 thatif today’s children want to retire on livable pensions, they will need to work until about age 80. That would be a 3 to the past: in 1880, nearly half of 80-year-old Americans did some kind of work.But few people will be able to bear the 4 and tedium of a 55-year career in a single sector. Anyway, technological changes would make their education obsolete long before they reached 80. The new life-path will 5 have more than three stages.Two new life-stages appeared in the past century: teenagers and retirees. Now another stage is 6, say Gratton and Scott: the years from 18 to 30, which people increasingly spend 7 from education to full-time work. Of course, many of today’s young have no choice: they simply cannot find good jobs. But the 18-to-30s have also been 8 to understand the gift of extrayears, say the authors. Many young people are now consciously searching and experimenting,9how they want to spend the next seven or so decades.The authors predict that more will do two degrees: first a general undergraduate course, which teaches thinking skills with lifelong value, and then a more 10 vocational degree that teaches a specific sector’s current needs. After studying, the young will spend time travelling, exploring different sectors, and11 a “posse” of friends and acquaintances who can sustain them at work and outside for 70 years.Future careers will contain many transformations. People will have to make more 12 : next year, should you work hard in your job, return to education, or transition to an entirely new sector? There will be time to achieve 13 in multiple domains. No longer will women be 14 careers because they took five or 10 years out to raise kids. That will still leave them 50-plus working years.And people will change their use of leisure.

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.AYoung people are losing faith in an elitist education system. “If you don’t have the ability then blame your parents,” wrote Jung Yoo-ra on social media in 2014, after being accepted into a famous university. Her mother, it turns out, had gone to great lengths to secure a spot for her, persuading Ehwa Women’s University to alter its admissions policy in a manner tailor-made for Ms. Jung.Last month a court ruled that the nine people involved in this deception had fundamentally shaken the “values of fairness of our society”. Above all, the “feelings of emptiness and betrayal they caused in hardworking students” could not be excused.University was once seen as a source of social mobility in South Korea. But so important is the right degree to a student’s prospects in life that rich families began spending heavily on coaching to improve their children’s chances, leaving poorer families behind.By 2007 over three-quarters of students were receiving some form of private tuition, maximizing the three necessities to win a place at a good university: “father’s wealth, mother’s information, child’s diligence”.Many South Koreans believe that the rich and influential do not just spend more on education, they also manipulate the system, as Ms. Jung’s mother, a close friend of the previous president, did so spectacularly.According to the Pew Research Centre, a think-tank, only a fifth of those aged 18-33 believe that working hard brings success.An ever-growing dictionary of slang proves the perception: people speak of using “back” (backing, or connections) to get jobs; when Ms. Jung refused to return to South Korea to face charges rela ted to her university admission, the local press described it as a “gold-spoon escape”.1.It can be inferred from the article that JungA.was admitted into the university without the slightest effort.B.believed children's prospect was determined by their parents' capability.C.was spared a legal punishment because of her connection.D.held a strong belief in social mobility in Korea.2.The feeling of betrayal and emptiness comes fromA.Ms. Jung’s ignorance in the university admissionB.their lack of resources to support their childrenC.the decline in the elite education systemD.the loss of education equality and social mobility opportunity3.Why do only a few people stick to the belief that success comes from hard work?A.The purse of their parents is a determining factor in success.B.They feel inferior to their rich peers.C.Rich people take great pains in the educating their childrenD.The good-spoon escape has shaken their value.BSure, your family and friends may think you've lost your marbles when you announce plans for a midlife career change, but take heart. There are a number of considerations that go into a successful career change.1.Making a rash decisionBefore changing occupations, you should do a deep dive to assess why you want to leave your current one. Ask yourself why you're unhappy—and answer honestly. You may simply be having a bad week or a bad month—or you may just hate your boss, not your industry. "We all go through phases of unhappiness with our jobs," says Randy Block, an executive coach and staffing consultant. "You should be running toward something, not running away from something."2.Choosing a new career based on salaryYou obviously need to be financially strategic when choosing your next career, but don't base your decision solely on earning potential. "If you take a high-paying job that doesn't match your interests, values, or strengths, you're not going to be happy," says Holly Genser. Maybe at first, but the novelty will likely wear off sooner than later.3.Not researching the job market in your next fieldNot sure what field you want to go into? Research industries and positions to find a good match for your skills and career goals, Genser says. Otherwise, you're throwing darts in the dark.4.Quitting without having another job lined upResearch shows it's easier to get a job offer when you're still employed, which makes sense since gaps on a resume might make a hiring manager think twice about calling you in for an interview. Consequently, it's in your best interest to stay at your current job until you have your next one set up.1.Which of the following is correct according to the passage?A.If you can't get along well with your boss, it's better to change your job.B.Show disregard to salary when evaluating the job optionsC.You may stick to the current job until a new opportunity shows up.D -Going back to the school may increase the job prospect.2.What does the underli ned word “throw darts in the dark” mean?(para 4 line 2)A, "make an attempt with little chance of success.B.waste your skills and experience.C.overshadow others in the competition.D.-lose yourself in the interview3.Which of the following might be the guiding principle of the writer in job-hopping?A.Enjoy the pleasure of life here and now.B.Success is favored by the people who are fully preparedC.Greed is the most real poverty, satisfaction the most real wealth.D.Nurture is above nature.4.Where does the passage probably come from?A. Career Orientation MagazineB. Tourism Leaflet.C. Family Counselling Brochure D: Graduation Advisory LectureCGoogle has been hit with a class-action lawsuit alleging discrimination against conservative- minded white men, in a legal case that threatens a fresh round of the culture wars that engulfed the internet company last summer.The suit has been brought by James Dam ore, an engineer who was sacked in August after his questioning of Google policies to increase the hiring of women and minorities caused an outcry inside the company. It also names a second engineer, David Demanding, who has also claimed wrongful termination after leaving the company in 2016. The company did not immediately have a response to the suit.Since leaving Google, Mr Dam ore has spoken out widely against the company, attacking it for what he calls “group think” over gender and other diversity issues. His case became a rallying point for conservatives last year at a time when cultural battles stirred by President Donald Trump were intensifying nationally.The class action lawsuit, filed in superior court in California on Monday, was brought on behalf of all employees whom Google is alleged to have discriminated against either because of “their perceived conservative political views . . . their male gender . . . [or] their Caucasian race”.The lawsuit claims that there is “open hostility for conservative thought” at the company and that people who diverge from the mainstream are singled out for expressing views on subjects such as diversity hiring policies, bias sensitivity and social justice.Employees are “distracted, belittled and punished for their heterodox political views, and for the added sin of their birth circumstances of being Caucasians and/or males”, the suit alleges. It accuses Google of being an “ideological echo chamber” that is hostile to some workers, and of maintaining illegal hiring quotas for women and minorities. The suit will move forward only if a judge certifies it as a valid action on behalf of an entire class of workers.Mr Dam ore was dismissed by Sundae Archaic, Google’s chief executive, after writing an internal memo questioning the company’s di versity policies. His paper was widely circulated and aroused a backlash inside Google. But his treatment brought an outcry from conservatives who saw Mr Pharisaic reaction as an attack on open discussion of an important social issue.Among the allegations, the lawsuit claims that “the presence of Caucasians and males wasmocked with ‘boos’ during company-wide weekly meetings” at Google.1.James Damore was fired by Google on the grounds thatA.he embraced the vision that women were underemployed in GoogleB.he found it hard to adapt himself to the corporate culture of GoogleC.Google is intolerable of different viewpoints of employees on Sex/puffD.he expressed the sexist attitude towards women’s professional fulfillment2.Which of the f ollowing CAN’T explain Google’s being adder fire by JamesDamore?A.The code of conduct and basic values of Google does harm to some employees.B.Google attached no importance to female fulfillment.C.Google weeded out discrimination rather than take a permissive approach.D.white people were underrated and blamed for their so-called ethnic politicalOpinions.3.What does the underlined phrase probably mean?A. resistance B sympathy C. affectation. D indifference4.The passage is chiefly concerned withA.arguing against a reversed discrimination from a dismissed Google employeeB.warning the application of Google value affecting the employees negativelyC.advocating the same treatment in workplaceD.exploring the legal remedies for inequality among workersSection CDirections: complete the following passage by using the sentence given below. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.A.Such flowery writing would deserve to be pulled out by the roots.B.They keep a continuous check on advertising.C.They misrepresent the products they are advertising.D.What does the ASA do to advertisers who deceive the p ublic?E.What makes an advertisement misleading?F.For this to be believable, the ASA h as to be totally independent of the business.The Advertising Standards Authority: An Advertising Watchdog Do adventurists sometimes distort the truth? The short answer is yes, some do. Nearly all of them play fair with the people they are addressed to. But a handful do not.1 The function of the Advertising Standard Authority (ASA)is to make sure these ads are found and stopped. 2If a physical training course had turn a 45-kilogram weakling into a strong man, the fact could be advertised because it can be proved. But a promise to build ‘you’ into a 95-kilogram he-man would be misleading because the promise could not always be kept.‘Make you look younger’ might be a reasonable claim for a cosmetic. But promising to ‘take years off your life’ would be an counterclaim similar to a promise of eternal youth.A garden center’s claim that its seedlings would produce ‘a bright show of colour in just a few days’ might be quite contrary to the reality.3Why it’s a two-way process?Because of the large amount of advertisements, the ASA cannot watch over every advertiser all the time. So the public is encouraged to help by reporting about advertisements they ought not to have appeared. Last year 7500 people wrote to ASA.Whose interests does the ASA really reflect?The Advertising Standards Authority was not created by law and was no legal powers, so not unnaturally some people are skeptical about its effectiveness. In fact the ASA was set up by the advertising business to make sure the system of self-control worked in the public’s interest.4 Neither the chairman nor the majority of the ASA council members is allowed to have anything to do with advertising. Thought the ASA uses influence over the ASA decisions.Ⅳ. Summary Writing (10%)Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize in no more than 60 words the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage and how it is illustrated. Use your own words as far as possible.What keeps us healthy and happy as we go through life? If you were going to invest now in your future best self, where would you put your time and your energy?The Harvard Study of Adult Developmentmay be the longest study of adult life that's ever been done. After 75 years of study, we’ve learned three big lessons about relationships.The first is that social connections are really good for us, and that loneliness kills. It turns out that people who are more socially connected to family, to friends, to community, are happier, they're physically healthier, and they live longer than people who are less well connected. And the experience of loneliness turns out to be harmful. People who are more isolated than they want to be from others find that they are less happy, their health declines earlier in midlife, their brain functioning declines sooner and they live shorter lives than people who are not lonely.And we know that you can be lonely in a crowd and you can be lonely in a marriage, so the second big lesson that we learned is that it's not just the number of friends you have, and it's not whether or not you're in a committed relationship, but it's the quality of your close relationships that matters. It turns out that living in the midst of conflict is really bad for our health. High-conflict marriages, for example, without much affection, turn out to be very bad for our health, perhaps worse than getting divorced. And living in the midst of good, warm relationships is protective.And the third big lesson that we learned about relationships and our health is that good relationships don't just protect our bodies, they protect our brains. It turns out that being in a securely attached relationship to another person in your 80s is protective, that the people who are in relationships where they really feel they can count on the other person in times of need, those people's memories stay sharper longer. And the people in relationships where they feel they really can't count on the other one, those are the people who experience earlier memory decline. And those good relationships, they don't have to be smooth all the time. Some of our octogenarian couples could bicker with each other day in and day out, but as long as they felt that they could really count on the other when the going got tough, those arguments didn't take a toll on their memories.So the clearest message that we get from this 75-year study is this: Good relationships keep us happier and healthier.Ⅴ.

Niesha could not forget the way she had frozen in front of the class today.Mr. Roberts had divided the class into groups to do presentations. Today had been Niesha’s turn. However, her hands had shaken so badly that she couldn’t read her notes. Her voice had become softer even to silence. Mr. Roberts had kindly ended Niesha’s part of the presentation even though she had clearly not finished. He had also asked Niesha to stay after class for a moment.“Niesha, I know you’re shy, but you worked hard on this project. I’d hate to see you give up on yourself.” Mr. Roberts had hesitated,“If I give you until tomorrow, do you think you can find your co urage?”Niesha had nodded, grateful for the chance. She had gone as quickly as she could to her next class. She had kept her head down and hoped the school day would end soon.When she reached her back steps that afternoon, she could see an inviting light coming from the kitchen windows. Momma was baking. Momma studied Niesha’s face as she came into the kitchen. “What’s wrong, Niesha?”Tears shone in Niesha’s brown eyes. She told her the whole story. Momma was silent for a moment, her hands still busy with t he cake. “Why is it that you can talk to me about anything and everything, but you can’t talk to your class?” Momma asked. She set the timer and then said, “Let me show you something.”Niesha followed Momma to her bedroom. There Momma showed her a book filled with newspaper clippings and pictures. In it there was a blue ribbon（丝带）that said “First Place” and a picture of herself when she was very young, standing with her parents.“I won it for public speaking. I started the school year as the shyest girl on the speech team, but I ended the year as the blue ribbon winner. It wasn’t easy at first—not sure of myself at all. I worked hard, and mostly I faced my fears. You just need to find your courage.”注意:1.续写词数应为150 左右:2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。

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?

Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)Called “the man who shaped America”and“the father of modern influential design”，Raymond Loewy must be one of the most influential designers of all time.Her revolutionized the industry, working as an adviser for more than 200 companies and creating designs for everything from packaging to refrigerators，from cars to the interiors of spaceships.Loewy′s designs all had one thing in common.They were shaped by the MAYA principle —Most Advanced Yet Acceptable.His idea was that people will not accept solutions to design problems if the solutions are too different from current designs.After a short period as a fashion illustrator , Loewy started his career in industrial design in 1929 by re−designing a copying machine for the British manufacturer，Sigmund Gestetner .The 28−year−old designer completed the task in three days and the design of the machine lasted for the next 40 years .The Gestetner duplicator was the beginning of many designs which used streamlining(流线型).He described this as“beauty through function and simplification”.He spent the next 50 years streamlining everything from postage stamps and company logos(商标to the interiors of stores .The famous Greyhound bus and Studebaker car show his use of streamlining in action.He is perhaps most famous for his re−design of the Lucky Strike packaging.In 1940，the President of the Lucky Strike Manufacturing Company，George Washington Hill，bet Loewy$50000 that he could not improve the appearance of the green and red Lucky Strike packets. Loewy accepted the challenge .He changed the background of the packet from green to white .Then he put the red lucky strike target on both sides of the packet.This made it more eye−catching and greatly increased sales .It is now recognized as a design classic .Loewy′s logo design aimed at“visual retention”.He wanted to make sure that anyone who saw the logo，even for a short white，would never forget it. He designed many highly visible logos for famous companies such as ShellOil，Exxon，Greyhound and Nabisco.By the mid-20th century his industrial design firm was so famous that he could say“the average person，leading a normal life…is bound to be in daily contact with some of the things，services or structures” designed by his firm .1.Which of the following was a feature of Loewy’s designs?A.They were sold at an acceptable price.B.They had something to do with existing ones.C.They were something that customers didn’t expect.D.They could be updated with the advancement of technology.2.What did Loewy do to Lucky Strike packets?A.He gave up red using red on them.B.He turned its symbol into green.C.He applied streamlining to them.D.He changed their background color.3.The word ”retention” (in paragraph 6)most probably meansA.reputationB.PreferenceC.ForgettingD.Holding4.What can be concluded from the passage?A.L owey’s designs were everywhere to be seenB.L owey didn’t become well-known as a designer until the 1940sC.L owey’s idea of streamlining came from the Gestetner duplicator.D.L owey was more favoured by modern industries than traditional ones.【答案】BDDC【解析】1.细节理解题。
