Could your weekend lie﹣in（睡懒觉） kill you? " asked the Daily mail． It is said in a study that sleeping more at weekends can increase the risk of heart disease． Since most of us change our sleep schedule depending on whether it’s a work or non﹣work day, it’s an interesting question． Is the lie﹣in really so dangerous? Researchers say that changing sleep patterns causes social jet lag． Is that even a thing?Changing our sleeping hours causes the effect of crossing a time zone﹣it makes us sleepy during the day． People who changed their sleep patterns were also more likely to gain weight during the study and more suited to going to bed and waking late because of the change of their biological clock． They were more at risk of these changes than earlier sleepers and risers． The study also shows an association between switching sleep patterns and changes in some blood results．It does not show that anyone’s developing heart disease was because they had lie﹣ins．Jim Horne, one of the professors of the Sleep Research Centre at Loughborough University, says the concept of social jet lag is likely to feed our anxiety about sleep, so we should really stop worrying so much and have a limited weekend lie﹣in． Worry is bad for sleep and we naturally compensate for not getting enough rest in the week by lying﹣in at weekends, so we shouldn’t stop ________． However, we should limit the time．Studies show that if you accumulate a five﹣hour sleep debt during the week, then you only need one and a half hours of extra sleep on your days off to make up for it． It wouldbe a shame to be scared of a lie﹣in． Studies of sleep and risk factors for heart disease can struggle to tell between poor sleep causing stress and stress disrupting sleep． Work stress can cause both a rise in blood pressure and changes in sleep patterns． Sleep is the test for the state of one’s health,and the most important thing that happens when you don’t get enough of it is that you feel sleepy．（1）What’s the probable effect of changing our sleep patterns？________A.Becoming unhealthy．B.Losing weight quickly．C.Easily adapting to time zones．D.Becoming early sleepers and risers．（2）What is Jim Horne’s attitude towards the weekend lie﹣in？________A.Negative．B.Doubtful．C.Unconcerned．D.Supportive．（3）What does the underlined phrase “doing it” in Paragraph 3 refer to？________A.Lying﹣in．B.Worrying．C.Sleeping early．pensating for the limit．（4）What can we infer from the text？________A.The sleep debt must be paid off completely．B.The weekend lie﹣in is a bad habit for all people．C.The more hours one sleeps， the healthier he will be．D.Poor sleep may result from and cause stress in turn．【答案】ADAD【考点】阅读理解综合【解析】本文属于说明文阅读，作者通过这篇文章主要向我们描述了一项研究表明，周末多睡会增加患心脏病的风险．【解答】（1）A．细节理解题．根据文章People who changed their sleep patterns were also more likely to gain weight during the study and more

AOU supports open learningThe Opening University calls it “OU supports open learning”. Its a method of distance learning thats accessible to everybody living in the European Union. There are also a numberof courses which can be followed online by those outside these countries.◆ Teaching SupportAn Opening University student works within a small group who are in communication with their tutor by post, fax, telephone and e-mail.

We have been volunteering at the shelter ever since. I was recently feeling the push to serve more, so I scheduled a Saturday visit.My daughter had social invitations, but she also felt the push to visit the shelter, so she planned to go there with her friends and me, later in the dayinstead. We piled up old blankets, sheets and pillows to take along and donate.On arriving and touring, we met 500 dogs and 200 cats being cared for at this shelter. After the tour we served meals to the puppies in the sick or injured puppy room. We held and comforted those who would clearly survive their injuries andseveral who were so sick that the volunteer vet on hand said they had a 50% chance of being alive next week. Then we fed two sick and abandoned young kittens. While feeding the animals I watched the workers who were cleaning out some of the dog houses with healthy dogs who would be returned to the streets.I was touched most by how often they stopped in their duty to pet and play with these dogs. They did it with such love. While some workers and volunteers were paid, others were paid nothing to support these animals.My daughter and I stayed for 4-5 hours, beyond the time she had scheduled to meet friends for lunch. She chose to cancel her social date and spend more time with these animals despite the tough conditions. Tired and dirty, we felt blessed to share some time with people who care deeply for relieving the suffering of so many vulnerable beings. And then we went back. May all the sick and injured animals be relieved of their suffering.24.Why did the author plan a Saturday visit to the shelter?A.To apply to be a real social volunteer.B.To build up homes for homeless dogs.C.To do more work for homeless animals.D.To attend her daughters gatherings with friends.25.According to the second paragraph,.A.not all of the hurt animals in the shelter could keep aliveB.the authors daughter finally accepted social invitationsC.the author merely fed sick dogs with his daughter and friendsD.most hurt animals in the shelter have a 50% chance of being alive26.What moved the author most while volunteering?A.The animals led a happy life in the shelter.B.The workers showed deep love to the animals.C.The workers were paid nothing to do their work.D.Many healthy animals would come back to the streets.27.What is the last paragraph mainly about?A.The schedule of the authors daughter.B.The authors wish to return to care animals.C.The reasons for the authors daughter missing her social date.D.The feelings of the father and daughter as volunteers in the shelter.CA survey of university backgrounds of heads of major global companies found that Harvard in the United States was the most likely place to have studied in.The Times Higher Education magazine ranked the universities attended by chief executive officers (CEO) of Fortune Global 500 companies. There are four US universities in the top 10, with three from France, two from Japan and one from South Korea. The highest ranked UK university is Oxford in 21st place.This league table, described as the Alma Mater Index, shows which universities around the world taught the bosses of some of the worlds biggest companies. One in 20 had a degree from a single institution, Harvard. This included Margaret C. Whitman of Hewlett-Packard, Jeffrey R. Immelt of General Electric and Vittorio Colao of Vodafone.But the top 10 for producing business leaders does not contain all the usual names that appear at the top of university rankings. Oxford and Cambridge are absent, but the University of Pennsylvania in the US and Keio University in Japan are included, along with three French universities, headed by the EcolePolytechnique.Across the top 100, universities from the US dominate, followed by universities in China, Japan, France and Germany. There are more CEOs who went to university in Asia than in Europe. In terms of national comparisons, UK universities produced the sixth highest number of global chief executives, with Oxford in 21st place and Cambridge in 45th place.But even though Harvard might have taught the biggest number of bosses from the top 500 companies, it was not attended by any of the heads of the biggest 10 companies, who were from a more diverse range of universities.Royal Dutch Shell is headed by a graduate of Zurich University of Applied Sciences; Walmart is headed by a student of Georgia Tech and Exxon Mobil has a chief executive from the University of Texas, Austin. Three of the leaders of these biggest companies went to university in China and the head of Volkswagen went to university in Stuttgart.28.How many Asian universities are among the worlds top10 universities for global CEOs?A.One.B.Two.C.Three.D.Four.29.What does the underlined word “dominate” in Paragraph 5 probably mean?A.Decrease.B.Accelerate.C.Take the lead.D.Make great progress.30.What can we learn about the UK universities?A.Cambridge University ranks highest among them.B.None of them are among the top 10 list of the survey.C.They performed better than French universities on the list.D.They produced the second most number of global CEOs.31.Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A.The Rankings of the Famous Universities in the WorldB.Which Is Described as the Best University in the World?C.Students Are Currently Entering Various Top-class UniversitiesD.Which University Tops the League Table of Where Bosses Studied?D“Could your weekend lie-in (睡懒觉) kill you?” asked the Daily Mail. It is said in a study that sleeping more at weekends can increase the risk of heart disease. Since most of us change our sleep schedule depending on whether its a work or non-work day, its an interesting question. Is the lie-in really so dangerous? Researchers say that changing sleep patterns causes social jet lag. Is that even a thing?Changing our sleeping hours causes the effect of crossing a time zone—it makes us sleepy during the day. People who changed their sleep patterns were also more likely to gain weight during the study and more suited to going to bed and waking late because of the change of their biological clock. They were more at risk of these changes than earlier sleepers and risers. The study also shows an association between switching sleep patterns and changes in some blood results.It does not show that anyones developing heart disease was because they had lie-ins.Jim Horne, one of the professors of the Sleep ResearchCentre at Loughborough University, says the concept of social jet lag is likely to feed our anxiety about sleep, so we should really stop worrying so much and have a limited weekend lie-in. Worry is bad for sleep and we naturally compensate for not getting enough rest in the week by lying-in at weekends, so we shouldnt stop doing it. However, we should limit the time.Studies show that if you accumulate a five-hour sleep debt during the week, then you only need one and a half hours of extra sleep on your days off to make up for it. It would be a shame to be scared of a lie-in. Studies of sleep and risk factors for heart disease can struggle to tell between poor sleep causing stress and stress disrupting sleep. Work stress can cause both a rise in blood pressure and changes in sleep patterns. Sleep is the test for the state of ones health,and the most important thing that happens when you dont get enough of it is that you feel sleepy.32.Whats the probable effect of changing our sleep patterns?A.Becoming unhealthy.B.Losing weight quickly.C.Easily adapting to time zones.D.Becoming early sleepers and risers.33.What is Jim Hornes attitude towards the weekend lie-in?A.Negative.B.Doubtful.C.Unconcerned.D.Supportive.34.What does the underlined phrase “doing it” in Paragraph 3 refer to?A.Lying-in.B.Worrying.C.Sleeping early./doc/d618002276.html,pensating for the limit.35.What can we infer from the text?A.The sleep debt must be paid off completely.B.The weekend lie-in is a bad habit for all people.C.The more hours one sleeps, the healthier he will be.D.Poor sleep may result from and cause stress in turn.第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10 分)根据短文内容,从短文后の选项中选出能填入空白处の最佳选项。

We have been volunteering at the shelter ever since. I was recently feeling the push to serve more, so I scheduled a Saturday visit.My daughter had social invitations, but she also felt the push to visit the shelter, so she planned to go there with her friends and me, later in the dayinstead. We piled up old blankets, sheets and pillows to take along and donate.On arriving and touring, we met 500 dogs and 200 cats being cared for at this shelter. After the tour we served meals to the puppies in the sick or injured puppy room. We held and comforted those who would clearly survive their injuries and several who were so sick that the volunteer vet on hand said they had a 50% chance of being alive next week. Then we fed two sick and abandoned young kittens.While feeding the animals I watched the workers who were cleaning out some of the dog houses with healthy dogs who would be returned to the streets.

There are four US universities in the top 10, with three from France, two from Japan and one from South Korea. The highest ranked UK university is Oxford in 21st place.This league table, described as the Alma Mater Index, shows which universities around the world taught the bosses of some of the world s biggest companies. One in 20 had a degree from a single institution, Harvard. This included Margaret C. Whitman of Hewlett-Packard, Jeffrey R. Immelt of General Electric and Vittorio Colao of Vodafone.But the top 10 for producing business leaders does not contain all the usual names that appear at the top of university rankings. Oxford and Cambridge are absent, but the University of Pennsylvania in the US and Keio University in Japan are included, along with three French universities, headed by the Ecole Polytechnique.Across the top 100, universities from the US dominate, followed byuniversities in China, Japan, France and Germany. There are more CEOs who went to university in Asia than in Europe. In terms of national comparisons, UK universities produced the sixth highest number of global chief executives, with Oxford in 21st place and Cambridge in 45th place.But even though Harvard might have taught the biggest number of bosses from the top 500 companies, it was not attended by any of the heads of the biggest 10 companies, who were from a more diverse range of universities.Royal Dutch Shell is headed by a graduate of Zurich University of Applied Sciences; Walmart is headed by a student of Georgia Tech and Exxon Mobil has a chief executive from the University of Texas, Austin. Three of the leaders of these biggest companies went to university in China and the head of Volkswagen went to university in Stuttgart.28.How many Asian universities are among the world s top 10 universities for global CEOs?A.One.B.Two.C.Three.D.Four.29.What does the underl ined word “dominate” in Paragraph 5 probably mean?A.Decrease.B.Accelerate.C.Take the lead.D.Make great progress.30.What can we learn about the UK universities?A.Cambridge University ranks highest among them.B.None of them are among the top 10 list of the survey.C.They performed better than French universities on the list.D.They produced the second most number of global CEOs.31.Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A.The Rankings of the Famous Universities in the WorldB.Which Is Described as the Best University in the World?C.Students Are Currently Entering Various Top-class UniversitiesD.Which University Tops the League Table of Where Bosses Studied?D“Could your weekend lie-in (睡懒觉) kill you?” asked the Daily Mail. It is said in a study that sleeping more at weekends can increase the risk of heart disease. Since most of us change our sleep schedule depending on whether it s a work or non-work day, it s an interesting question. Is the lie-in really so dangerous? Researchers say that changing sleep patterns causes social jet lag. Is that even a thing?Changing our sleeping hours causes the effect of crossing a time zone—it makes us sleepy during the day. People who changed their sleep patterns were also more likely to gain weight during the study and more suited to going to bed and waking late because of the change of their biological clock. They were more at risk of these changes than earlier sleepers and risers. The study also shows an association between switching sleep patterns and changes in some blood results. It does not show that anyone s developing heart disease was because they hadlie-ins.Jim Horne, one of the professors of the Sleep Research Centre at Loughborough University, says the concept of social jet lag is likely to feed our anxiety about sleep, so we should really stop worrying so much and have a limited weekend lie-in. Worry is bad for sleep and we naturally compensate for not getting enough rest in the week by lying-in at weekends, so we shouldn t stop doing it. However, we should limit the time.Studies show that if you accumulate a five-hour sleep debt during the week, then you only need one and a half hours of extra sleep on your days off to make up for it. It would be a shame to be scared of a lie-in. Studies of sleep andrisk factors for heart disease can struggle to tell between poor sleep causing stress and stress disrupting sleep. Work stress can cause both a rise in blood pressure and changes in sleep patterns. Sleep is the test for the state of one s health, and the most important thing that happens when you don t get enough ofit is that you feel sleepy.32.What s the probable effect of changing our sleep patterns?A.Becoming unhealthy.B.Losing weight quickly.C.Easily adapting to time zones.D.Becoming early sleepers and risers.33.What is Jim Horne s attitude towards the weekend lie-in?A.Negative.B.Doubtful.C.Unconcerned.D.Supportive.34.What does the underlined phrase “doing it” in Paragraph 3 refer to?A.Lying-in.B.Worrying.C.Sleeping early.pensating for the limit.35.What can we infer from the text?A.The sleep debt must be paid off completely.B.The weekend lie-in is a bad habit for all people.C.The more hours one sleeps, the healthier he will be.D.Poor sleep may result from and cause stress in turn.第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10 分)根据短文内容,从短文后の选项中选出能填入空白处の最佳选项。

Which of the following is allowed at the zoo?A Riding your bikeB Taking your cameraC. Feeding the animals D Smoking cigarettesBI saw it first, Amy said, as she ripped the old leather wallet out of Charlies hands. Without saying a word, as if they both understood that this was a secret they didn’t want to share with anyone, they slipped into the alley, where no one could see them look inside"There's got to be a million dollars here! "Charlie blurted out, when they saw the pile of hundred- dollar bills. Amy, the more realistic of the two, did a quick estimate, thumbing through the wad of cash. "More like thousands” she said, her voice shaking in disbelief.They'd found the wallet in a flowerbed by the sidewalk, when Charlie dropped his cell phone while he was trying to talk and eat a slice of pepperoni pizza at the same time. Amy stuffed the wallet into her backpack and pulled Charlie along by his elbow toward her house. As they rushed toward Viceroy Avenue, they talked excitedly about what they could do with the money-buy gifts for parents and friends, get new clothes, travel to the rainforest in Costa Rica, and adopt a whale. It looked like all of their dre ams would come true. For the last block, however, they didn’t talk. Each began to suspect that the other one was silently adding to the list of things they could buy.They finally reached Amy s house, but instead of going inside, they walked around the house to the back porch. They opened the wallet and counted the money into piles of ten. The total wasS2400- more money than either of them had ever seen. Then they both started talking at once. "I wonder who lost it "Their moods shifted, sinking from the high of being rich for fifteen minutes to resigning themselves to what they must do next. For in the wallet's clear plastic compartment, there was a driver's license. They knew what they had to do. Although they would lose their newly-found treasure, in a way, they felt relieved.24. Where did Amy and Charlie find the wallet?A. In an alley B In a backpackC. Among some flowers D On the sidewalk25. In paragraph 2, why was Amy’s voice shaking?A. She was afraid that they would be seen by othersB. She was disappointed there wasn't a million dollarsC. She was fearful that Charlie would tell someone elseD. She felt nervous because she'd never seen so much money26. On their way to Amy’s house, the children's mood changed fromA excited to suspicious B. happy to angryC relieved to worried D. nervous to disappointed27. What did the children decide to do at the end of the story?A. To keep the money a secret from othersB. To return the wallet to its rightful ownerC. To put the wallet back where they found it.D. To buy many different things with the money.CAn article published in the prestigious scientific journal Nature sheds new light on an important, but up-to-now little appreciated, aspect of human evolution. In this article Professors Dennis Bramble and Daniel Lieberman suggest that being able to run was the necessary condition for the development of our species which enabled us to come down from the trees. This challenges traditional scientific thinking, which claims that the distinctive, upright body form of modern humans has come about as a result of the ability to walk, and that running is simply a by-product of walking. Furthermore, humans have usually been regarded as poor runners compared to such animals as dogs, horses or deer. However, this is only true if we consider running at high speed, especially over short distances. But when it comes to long-distance running, humans do astonishingly well. They can keep a steady pace for many kilometres, and their overall speed is at least the same as that of horses or dogsBramble and Lieberman examined 26 physical features found in humans. One of the most interesting of these is the nuchal ligament(项韧带). When we run, this ligament prevents our head from moving back and forth or from side to side. Therefore, we are able to run with steady heads, held high. The nuchal ligament is not found in any other surviving primates, such as apes and monkeys. Then there are our Achilles tendons (跟腱) at the backs of our legs, which connect our calf muscles to our heel bones — and which have nothing to do with walking. When we run, these tendons behave like springs, helping to push us forward. Furthermore, we have low, wide shoulders virtually disconnected from our skulls(颅骨), a physical development which allows us to run more efficiently.But what evolutionary advantage is gained from being good long-distance runners? Perhaps itpermitted early humans to obtain food more effectively. "What these features and facts appear to be telling us is that running evolved in order for our direct ancestors to compete with other meat-eating animals for access to the protein needed to grow the big brains that we enjoy today," says Lieberman. Some scientists put forward the theory that early humans chased animals for great distances in order to exhaust them before killing them."Research on the history of humans' ability to move has traditionally been controversial, " says Lieberman. "At the very least, I believe this theory will motivate many researchers to reevaluate and further investigate how humans learned to run and walk and why we are built the way we are. "28. In paragraph 1, what do the two professors suggest about humans' ability to run?A. It is an evolutionary by-product of walking.B. It helps to form people's ability to climb trees.C. It has played an important role in human evolution.D. It has not been adequately studied by scientists before.29. What is true about the physical characteristics examined by the professors?A. Achilles tendons assist people to walk long distances.B. The human skull helps people to run more efficiently.C. people's shoulders allow them to look from side to side.D. The nuchal ligament enables people to hold their head steady.30. According to paragraph 3, scientists believe that early humans_________.A. always came across dangerous situations in lifeB. ran after animals for long distances when huntingC often failed to find food because they couldn't run fastD developed their hunting skills by running long distances31. Professor Lieberman thinks the new theory will _________.A completely explain how running developedB revolutionize the theory of human evolutionC. encourage more in-depth studies on the topicD. be widely supported within the scientific communityDScientists have solved the mystery of why the overwhelmingmajority of mammoth fossils(化石)are male.Much like wild elephants today, young male Ice Agemammoths probably travelled around alone and more often gotthemselves into risky situations where they were swept into rivers, or fell through ice or into mud, lakes or sinkholes that preserved their bones for thousands of years, scientists say.Females, on the other hand, travelled in groups led by an older matriarch who knew the landscape and directed her group away from danger."Without the benefit of living in a herd led by an experienced female, male mammoths had a much higher risk of dying in natural traps such as mud holes, rock cracks and lakes, "said co-author Love Dalen of the Swedish Museum of Natural History in a report published on Thursday in the journal Current Biology.The study used genetic data to determine the sex of 98 woolly mammoth fossils in Siberia Researchers found that 69% of the samples were male, a heavily unbalanced sex ratio, assuming that the sexes were fairly even at birth"We were very surprised because there was no reason to expect a sex bias in the fossil record," said first author Patricia Pecnerova, also of the Swedish Museum of Natural History.Therefore, researchers believe that something about the way they lived influenced the way they died.Most bones, tusks, and teeth from mammoths and other Ice Age animals haven't survived," explained Dalen"It is highly likely that the remains that are found in Siberia these days have been preserved because they have been buried, and thus protected from weathering."These giant, tusked plant eaters disappeared about 4,000 years ago. While there is no scientific agreement about the causes of their disappearance from the planet, most believe that climate change, excessive hunting by humans and the spread of other animals into mammoth feeding grounds were influential factors.32. The underlined word "matriarch" in paragraph 3 means _______.A. figure headB. female leaderC experienced animal D. mature mammoth33. Why do the majority of mammoth fossils come from male animals?A. Scientists find it easier to study male fossilised bones.B. There were more male mammoths in comparison to femalesC Male mammoths were better able to adapt to the changing circumstances.D. Male mammoths more frequently died in places where fossils could form.34. Which of the following is suggested as a reason for mammoths dying out?A. The increasing competition for food.B. The cooling of the earth's temperature.C. The disappearance of male mammoths.D The risky behaviour of younger mammoths.35. What is the text type of the passage?A. A newspaper article.B. An academic essay.C. A historical description.D. A science fiction story.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，选项中有两项为多余选项。

第I卷第二部分阆读理解(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A、B、C和D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。
AIt’s no secret that your personal characteristics directly affect how you interact with the world-but you might be surprised at just how deep it goes. Experts think that your personality can even affect how you exercise and influence what sports are suitable for you.Highly SensitiveHighly sensitive people may be more uncomfortable with group exercise classes or team sports where they feel their every move is being observed. Additionally, they may feel more upset over an ineffective or poor workout, says researcher Elaine Aron.For such people, individual or non- competitive activities like biking, running and hiking are ideal.Type A PersonalityType A individuals often have an “all or nothing approach” to exercise. This personality type is known for sticking closely to their plan, not to mention being super competitive. However, this can cause them to stick too closely to a fitness routine, which means they might try to push past an injury.To get better exercise results, Type A people need to be aware that following an exercise plan too strictly may limit their progress. They should be more flexible and listen to their body, especially when they are in pain.Type B PersonalityThis laid-back group may get too lazy about their exercise plan, which prevents them from seeing results. They are often less willing to devote enough time and energy to their fitness goals, especially if exercise is something that makes them anxiousType B individuals succeed in creative and co-operative environments, so team sports and group gym classes may be perfect.Remember, there are plenty of ways you can adapt a fitness plan to suit your needs, regardless of your characteristics. Just keep in mind what you like.21. Why might highly sensitive people be unwilling to take part in group sports?A. They will feel like they are being evaluated.B. They don't like socializing with other people.C. They don't consider themselves to be athletic.D. They fear they'll be let down by their teammates.22. Type A personalities can be best described asA. committedB. flexibleC. independentD. sensitive23. What is the purpose of the text?A. To help people understand what personality type they areB. To explain how personal characteristics affect exercise habitsC. To identify the dangers of doing the wrong type of exerciseD. To describe different types of workouts that are available todayBAt first sight, Alma Deutscher, a twelve-year-old girl from England appears to be like any other typical pre-teen. She loves to skip rope, read and play with her younger sister. But this modest youngster, who composed her first musical work at age six, first short opera at age seven, and first full-length opera based on Cinderella at age ten, is anything but average. Though her parents downplay her extraordinary talent, young Alma is being described as “little Mozart” by the music worldAlma’s operatic take on the classic f airy tale, which she began writing at age eight, has a slight twist. Her Cinderella is a musician who meets her Prince Charming through a song. “In my Cinderella, she sings the beginning of a ballad --- but at midnight she flees. Eventually, the prince fin ds her after asking all the maidens of the land to sing the end of the ballad.”The opera was first performed in Vienna, Australia on December 29, 2016, where the then eleven-year-old skillfully switched between the piano and the violin and receives enthusiastic reviews. The young genius has since performed two new piano works, once in Australia and the other in China.While this may appear to be a lot for someone so young, Alma is not worried. She says, “Of course I have to work hard. But all children have to work hard for exams, and at least when I work hard, I work hard for something incredibly exciting, like seeing my whole opera put on stage.Alma’s musical talent first came to light before she could even talk. Her parents recall that as an 18-month-old toddler, she was able to hum a pitch perfect version of the children’s rhyme Twinkle Twinkle Little Star.However, Alma’s abilities only gained international attention in 2012, after a family friend posted a video online comparing her to Mozart. The family was suddenly swamped with media requested and Alma became an overnight star, dubbed “little Mozart”. This nickname makes her parents unhappy because they believe it puts added pressure on the young girl. They would instead prefer her to be called “a composer and musician”.Alma does not want to be compared to the famous artist either, saying, “There was only one Mozart, and I prefer to be little Alma.” Regardless of what she calls herself, the twelve-year-old is changing the world of music forever!24. What do we know about Alma Deutscher?A. She comes from a famous musical family.B. She has shown great musical talent from a young age.C. She regularly performs the classical music of Mozart.D. She has adapted some famous works of classical music.25. How did Alma get to be widely known?A. Through an online videoB. By performing on televisionC. By putting on an operaD. Through her parents’ promotion26. What is Alma’s attitude towards her success?A. She is still unsatisfied with her performance.B. She is uncomfortable with so much pressure.C. She is modest about her musical achievementsD. She is proud to have become a professional musician.27. What can we infer about Alma’s parents?A. They are very well-educated people.B. They are protective of their daughter.C. They have pushed Alma to take up music.D. They have made a good life plan for Alma.CThe belief that new technologies are causing the death of work is the idea that never goes away. Despite evidence to the contrary, we still view technological change today as being more rapid and dramatic in its consequences for work than ever before. But this is nothing new. People have always viewed the technological changes that take place during their lives as the most dramatic and dangerous that ever happened in history.In the 1930s, the British economist(经济学家) John Maynard Keynes predicted the widespread use of electricity would produce a world where people spend most of their time doing nothing. In the United States during the 1960s, the government repeatedly investigates fears that automatic machines would permanently reduce the amount of work available. In 1988, one Australian historian claimed that at least a quarter of the workforce would be without jobs within 10 years because of computers.Of course, none of these disasters came to pass in the United Kingdom, the United States and Australia, or anywhere else.Yet today, we are seeing the return of these predictions, with some experts claiming the world of work is once more undergoing radical and unprecedented change. They argue that robots and other workplace technologies are causing a reduction in the total amount of work available, or are bringing a more rapid pace of substitution of machines for humans than has been seen previously.But there is a little evidence to support such beliefs. Statistics show that the percentage of people in work, the number of hours they work, and how frequently they change jobs have remained remarkably constant over the past 20 years.This stability should not come as a surprise. There are good reasons why we should not expect new technologies to cause the death of work. New technologies always cause job losses, but that is only part of the story. What also needs to be understood is how they increase the amount of work available.One way this happens is through the increases in incomes that accompany the use of new technologies. With the introduction of these technologies, good and services can be produced faster, which results in higher real incomes for workers. Higher incomes then increase demand for other products and consequently more workers are needed to make them. Additionally, while new technologies are likely to substitute for some types of workers, they will also increase demand for other types of workers, especially those with higher level skills and expertise.So, the end of work is no closer today than at any time in the past. But there is still a need to keep disproving the prediction, to reduce people's fears.28. What is the function of the second paragraph?A. To explain the importance of developing new technology.B. To show how technology affected employment in the past.C. To argue that technological dangers are becoming more serious.D. To give historical examples of unnecessary fear about new technology.29. How can employment statistics over the past 20 years best be described?A. ConfusingB. ReliableC. StableD. Variable30. According to paragraph 7, why does demand for products often increase after new technologyis introduced?A. There are more goods for people to choose from.B. There is more demand for new skills in the economy.C. Productivity improvements help raise workers’ salaries.D. Higher quality goods at lower prices encourage consumption.31. What is the author’s opinion about the introduction of new technology?A. It does not have an effect on most people’s jobs.B. Its benefits are usually not worth the introduction.C. It usually leads to a significant increase in employment.D. Its danger to peoples employment possibilities is overstated.DSupermarket shelves are filled with plant-based alternatives to cow milk, including soy, nut, and coconut milk. These products are popular with consumers who cannot drink cows’ milk for health reasons, as well as with those concerned about animal welfare and environmental sustainability. While the dairy-free(非乳制的) options work well with cereal or in coffee, they fail miserably when it comes to making milk-based products like cheese or yogurt. However, these shortcomings may soon be a thing of the past, thanks to a new company in California, which has figured out how to create animal-free milk in a laboratory!Perumal Gandhi and Ryan Pandya founded the company in 2014 after becoming increasingly annoyed with the lack of cows’ milk-free alternatives, particularly for cheese. For Gandhi, who stopped consuming animal products five years earlier due to environmental and animal welfare concerns, the motivation to create a better alternative stemmed from his love of cheesy pizza. Pandya was spurred into taking action after being forced to eat some “really bad” dairy-free cream cheese on his sandwich.The two MIT biomedical engineering scientists decided to join forces to create a more realistic alternative to dairy-based products. In their university lab, the pair spent nine months first isolating cow DNA then inserting it into yeast(酵母). This genetic modification enabled the yeast to produce the necessary milk proteins. The final step of the process involved mixing the proteins with some plant nutrients and fats.The dairy-free milk not only tastes like the real thing but is also healthier, has a longer shelf life and, most important of all, is Earth friendly. According to the company’s website, when compared to conventional milk production, their process uses 65% less energy, creates 84%o less greenhouse gas emissions and requires 91% less land and an amazing 98% less water! Best of all, since it contains real milk proteins, the product behaves like the cow-produced version, which means vegetarian consumers will no longer have to deal with soggy cheese on their sandwiches and pizzas.The company plans to bring their creation to market later this year and their first product will most likely be cheese since there are already numerous good cows’ milk alternatives available to consumers.32. The underlined word "those" in paragraph 1 refers to_______.A. alternativesB. peopleC. productsD. reasons33. The company s founders were motivated to make the new product because of_______.A. their deep concern for the environmentB. their worry that farm animals were poorly treatedC the over-consumption of the dairy-based productsD. the poor taste of dairy-free cheese presently available34. What can be inferred from paragraph 4?A. The dairy-free products cannot be stored for a long time.B. The new products will taste better than dairy-based ones.C. Cow farming causes considerable environmental damage.D. The dairy-free milk will be more expensive than cow’s milk.35. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A. Healthier CheeseB. New Milk Saves PlanetC. Fresher Milk, Better FutureD. Making Milk without Cows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。

Could your weekend lie﹣in（睡懒觉） kill you? " asked the Daily mail． It is said in a study that sleeping more at weekends can increase the risk of heart disease． Since most of us change our sleep schedule depending on whether it’s a work or non﹣work day, it’s an interesting question． Is the lie﹣in really so dangerous? Researchers say that changing sleep patterns causes social jet lag． Is that even a thing?Changing our sleeping hours causes the effect of crossing a time zone﹣it makes us sleepy during the day． People who changed their sleep patterns were also more likely to gain weight during the study and more suited to going to bed and waking late because of the change of their biological clock． They were more at risk of these changes than earlier sleepers and risers． The study also shows an association between switching sleep patterns and changes in some blood results．It does not show that anyone’s developing heart disease was because they had lie﹣ins．Jim Horne, one of the professors of the Sleep Research Centre at Loughborough University, says the concept of social jet lag is likely to feed our anxiety about sleep, so we should really stop worrying so much and have a limited weekend lie﹣in． Worry is bad for sleep and we naturally compensate for not getting enough rest in the week by lying﹣in at weekends, so we shouldn’t stop ________． However, we should limit the time．Studies show that if you accumulate a five﹣hour sleep debt during the week, then you only need one and a half hours of extra sleep on your days off to make up for it． It wouldbe a shame to be scared of a lie﹣in． Studies of sleep and risk factors for heart disease can struggle to tell between poor sleep causing stress and stress disrupting sleep． Work stress can cause both a rise in blood pressure and changes in sleep patterns． Sleep is the test for the state of one’s health,and the most important thing that happens when you don’t get enough of it is that you feel sleepy．（1）What’s the probable effect of changing our sleep patterns？________A.Becoming unhealthy．B.Losing weight quickly．C.Easily adapting to time zones．D.Becoming early sleepers and risers．（2）What is Jim Horne’s attitude towards the weekend lie﹣in？________A.Negative．B.Doubtful．C.Unconcerned．D.Supportive．（3）What does the underlined phrase “doing it” in Paragraph 3 refer to？________A.Lying﹣in．B.Worrying．C.Sleeping early．pensating for the limit．（4）What can we infer from the text？________A.The sleep debt must be paid off completely．B.The weekend lie﹣in is a bad habit for all people．C.The more hours one sleeps， the healthier he will be．D.Poor sleep may result from and cause stress in turn．【答案】ADAD【考点】阅读理解综合【解析】本文属于说明文阅读，作者通过这篇文章主要向我们描述了一项研究表明，周末多睡会增加患心脏病的风险．【解答】（1）A．细节理解题．根据文章People who changed their sleep patterns were also more likely to gain weight during the study and more

广州市2018届高三下学期测试英语试题
英语2018.3第I卷第二部分阆读理解(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A、B、C和D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。
AIt’s no secret that your personal characteristics directly affect how you interact with the world-but you might be surprised at just how deep it goes.Experts think that your personality can even affect how you exercise and influence what sports are suitable for you.Highly SensitiveHighly sensitive people may be more uncomfortable with group exercise classes or team sports where they feel their every move is being observed.Additionally,they may feel more upset over an ineffective or poor workout,says researcher Elaine Aron.For such people,individual or non-competitive activities like biking,running and hiking are ideal.Type A PersonalityType A individuals often have an“all or nothing approach”to exercise.This personality type is known for sticking closely to their plan,not to mention being super competitive. However,this can cause them to stick too closely to a fitness routine,which means they might try to push past an injury.To get better exercise results,Type A people need to be aware that following an exercise plan too strictly may limit their progress.They should be more flexible and listen to their body, especially when they are in pain.Type B PersonalityThis laid-back group may get too lazy about their exercise plan,which prevents them from seeing results.They are often less willing to devote enough time and energy to their fitness goals,especially if exercise is something that makes them anxiousType B individuals succeed in creative and co-operative environments,so team sports and group gym classes may be perfect.Remember,there are plenty of ways you can adapt a fitness plan to suit your needs, regardless of your characteristics.Just keep in mind what you like.21.Why might highly sensitive people be unwilling to take part in group sports?A.They will feel like they are being evaluated.B.They don't like socializing with other people.C.They don't consider themselves to be athletic.D.They fear they'll be let down by their teammates.22.Type A personalities can be best described asmitted B flexible C independent D.sensitive23.What is the purpose of the text?A.To help people understand what personality type they areB.To explain how personal characteristics affect exercise habitsC.To identify the dangers of doing the wrong type of exerciseD.To describe different types of workouts that are available todayBAt first sight,Alma Deutscher,a twelve-year-old girl from England appears to be like any other typical pre-teen.She loves to skip rope,read and play with her younger sister.But this modest youngster,who composed her first musical work at age six,first short opera at age seven,and first full-length opera based on Cinderella at age ten,is anything but average. Though her parents downplay her extraordinary talent,young Alma is being described as “little Mozart”by the music worldAlma’s operatic take on the classic fairy tale,which she began writing at age eight,has a slight twist.Her Cinderella is a musician who meets her Prince Charming through a song.“In my Cinderella,she sings the beginning of a ballad---but at midnight she flees.Eventually, the prince finds her after asking all the maidens of the land to sing the end of the ballad.”The opera was first performed in Vienna,Australia on December29,2016,where the then eleven-year-old skillfully switched between the piano and the violin and receives enthusiasticreviews.The young genius has since performed two new piano works,once in Australia and the other in China.While this may appear to be a lot for someone so young,Alma is not worried.She says,“Of course I have to work hard.But all children have to work hard for exams,and at least when I work hard,I work hard for something incredibly exciting,like seeing my whole opera put on stage.Alma’s musical talent first came to light before she could even talk.Her parents recall that as an18-month-old toddler,she was able to hum a pitch perfect version of the children’s rhyme Twinkle Twinkle Little Star.However,Alma’s abilities only gained international attention in2012,after a family friend posted a video online comparing her to Mozart.The family was suddenly swamped with media requested and Alma became an overnight star,dubbed“little Mozart”.This nickname makes her parents unhappy because they believe it puts added pressure on the young girl.They would instead prefer her to be called“a composer and musician”.Alma does not want to be compared to the famous artist either,saying,“There was only one Mozart,and I prefer to be little Alma.”Regardless of what she calls herself,the twelve-year-old is changing the world of music forever!24.What do we know about Alma Deutscher?A.She comes from a famous musical family.B.She has shown great musical talent from a young age.C.She regularly performs the classical music of Mozart.D.She has adapted some famous works of classical music.25.How did Alma get to be widely known?A.Through an online videoB.By performing on televisionC.By putting on an operaD.Through her parents’promotion26.What is Alma’s attitude towards her success?A.She is still unsatisfied with her performance.B.She is uncomfortable with so much pressure.C.She is modest about her musical achievementsD.She is proud to have become a professional musician.27.What can we infer about Alma’s parents?A.They are very well-educated people.B.They are protective of their daughter.C.They have pushed Alma to take up music.D.They have made a good life plan for Alma.CThe belief that new technologies are causing the death of work is the idea that never goes away.Despite evidence to the contrary,we still view technological change today as being more rapid and dramatic in its consequences for work than ever before.But this is nothing new.People have always viewed the technological changes that take place during their lives as the most dramatic and dangerous that ever happened in history.In the1930s,the British economist(经济学家)John Maynard Keynes predicted the widespread use of electricity would produce a world where people spend most of their time doing nothing.In the United States during the1960s,the government repeatedly investigates fears that automatic machines would permanently reduce the amount of work available.In 1988,one Australian historian claimed that at least a quarter of the workforce would be without jobs within10years because of computers.Of course,none of these disasters came to pass in the United Kingdom,the United States and Australia,or anywhere else.Yet today,we are seeing the return of these predictions,with some experts claiming the world of work is once more undergoing radical and unprecedented change.They argue that robots and other workplace technologies are causing a reduction in the total amount of work available,or are bringing a more rapid pace of substitution of machines for humans than has been seen previously.But there is a little evidence to support such beliefs.Statistics show that the percentage of people in work,the number of hours they work,and how frequently they change jobs have remained remarkably constant over the past20years.This stability should not come as a surprise.There are good reasons why we should not expect new technologies to cause the death of work.New technologies always cause job losses,but that is only part of the story.What also needs to be understood is how they increase the amount of work available.One way this happens is through the increases in incomes that accompany the use of new technologies.With the introduction of these technologies,good and services can be produced faster,which results in higher real incomes for workers.Higher incomes then increase demand for other products and consequently more workers are needed to make them. Additionally,while new technologies are likely to substitute for some types of workers,they will also increase demand for other types of workers,especially those with higher level skills and expertise.So,the end of work is no closer today than at any time in the past.But there is still a need to keep disproving the prediction,to reduce people's fears.28.What is the function of the second paragraph?A.To explain the importance of developing new technology.B.To show how technology affected employment in the past.C.To argue that technological dangers are becoming more serious.D.To give historical examples of unnecessary fear about new technology.29.How can employment statistics over the past20years best be described?A.ConfusingB.ReliableC.StableD.Variable30.According to paragraph7,why does demand for products often increase after new technology is introduced?A.There are more goods for people to choose from.B.There is more demand for new skills in the economy.C.Productivity improvements help raise workers’salaries.D.Higher quality goods at lower prices encourage consumption.31.What is the author’s opinion about the introduction of new technology?A.It does not have an effect on most people’s jobs.B.Its benefits are usually not worth the introduction.C.It usually leads to a significant increase in employment.D.Its danger to peoples employment possibilities is overstated.DSupermarket shelves are filled with plant-based alternatives to cow milk,including soy, nut,and coconut milk.These products are popular with consumers who cannot drink cows’milk for health reasons,as well as with those concerned about animal welfare and environmental sustainability.While the dairy-free(非乳制的)options work well with cereal or in coffee,they fail miserably when it comes to making milk-based products like cheese or yogurt.However,these shortcomings may soon be a thing of the past,thanks to a new company in California,which has figured out how to create animal-free milk in a laboratory!Perumal Gandhi and Ryan Pandya founded the company in2014after becoming increasingly annoyed with the lack of cows’milk-free alternatives,particularly for cheese.For Gandhi,who stopped consuming animal products five years earlier due to environmental and animal welfare concerns,the motivation to create a better alternative stemmed from his love of cheesy pizza.Pandya was spurred into taking action after being forced to eat some“really bad”dairy-free cream cheese on his sandwichThe two MIT biomedical engineering scientists decided to join forces to create a more realistic alternative to dairy-based products.In their university lab,the pair spent nine months first isolating cow DNA then inserting it into yeast(酵母).This genetic modification enabled the yeast to produce the necessary milk proteins.The final step of the process involved mixing the proteins with some plant nutrients and fats.The dairy-free milk not only tastes like the real thing but is also healthier,has a longer shelf life and,most important of all,is Earth friendly.According to the company’s website, when compared to conventional milk production,their process uses65%less energy,creates 84%o less greenhouse gas emissions and requires91%less land and an amazing98%less water!Best of all,since it contains real milk proteins,the product behaves like the cow-produced version,which means vegetarian consumers will no longer have to deal with soggy cheese on their sandwiches and pizzas.The company plans to bring their creation to market later this year and their first product will most likely be cheese since there are already numerous good cows’milk alternativesavailable to consumers.32.The underlined word"those"in paragraph1refers to_______.A.alternativesB.peopleC.productsD.reasons33.The company s founders were motivated to make the new product because of_______.A.their deep concern for the environmentB.their worry that farm animals were poorly treatedC the over-consumption of the dairy-based productsD.the poor taste of dairy-free cheese presently available34.What can be inferred from paragraph4?A.The dairy-free products cannot be stored for a long time.B.The new products will taste better than dairy-based ones.C.Cow farming causes considerable environmental damage.D.The dairy-free milk will be more expensive than cow’s milk.35.Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A.Healthier CheeseB.New Milk Saves PlanetC.Fresher Milk,Better FutureD.Making Milk without Cows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。

27. What did the children decide to do at the end of the story?
B I saw it first, Amy said, as she ripped the old leather wallet out of Charlies hands. Without saying a word, as if they both understood that this was a secret they didn’t want to share with anyone, they slipped into the alley, where no one could see them look inside "There's got to be a million dollars here! "Charlie blurted out, when they saw the pile of hundred- dollar bills. Amy, the more realistic of the two, did a quick estimate, thumbing through the wad of cash. "More like thousands” she said, her voice shaking in disbelief. They'd found the wallet in a flowerbed by the sidewalk, when Charlie dropped his cell phone while he was trying to talk and eat a slice of pepperoni pizza at the same time. Amy stuffed the wallet into her backpack and pulled Charlie along by his elbow toward her house. As they rushed toward Viceroy Avenue, they talked excitedly about what they could do with the money-buy gifts for parents and friends, get new clothes, travel to the rainforest in Costa Rica, and adopt a whale. It looked like all of their dreams would come true. For the last block, however, they didn’t talk. Each began to suspect that the other one was silently adding to the list of things they could buy. They finally reached Amy s house, but instead of going inside, theoney a secret from others
B. To return the wallet to its rightful owner
C. To put the wallet back where they found it.
D. To buy many different things with the money.

Zoo Manners The zoo is a smoke free area No balloons, balls, bikes, or roller skates allowed. Pets are not allowedexcepting guide dogs for blind Stay on the pathways and do not place children on railing. Do not throw anything into the animal exhibits.

C An article published in the prestigious scientific journal Nature sheds new light on an important, but up-to-now little appreciated, aspect of human evolution. In this article Professors Dennis Bramble and Daniel Lieberman suggest that being able to run was the necessary condition for the development of our species which enabled us to come down from the trees. This challenges traditional scientific thinking, which claims that the distinctive, upright body form of modern humans has come about as a result of the ability to walk, and that running is simply a by-product of walking.
25. In paragraph 2, why was Amy’s voice shaking?
A. She was afraid that they would be seen by others
B. She was disappointed there wasn't a million dollars
