the nine teaching assistants (TAs) that had helped them finish the challenging course for the past five months was not a “she”but an “it”—an intelligent robot!Watson is the brainchild of Asho Goel,who teaches the popular online course.The Professor of Computer and Cognitive Science in the School of Interactive Computing came up with the ideaas a way to deal with the number of questions posed by students in the online forums(论坛).According to Goel,every time the course is offered,the 300 or so students that enroll post over 10,000 questions.The questions are often repetitive.This led Goel to wonder if a smart robot would handle the questions which require standard responses—things lie dates when assignments are due.Having wored with IBM’s Watson technology platform in the past,the professor new it would be ideal for his artificial TAJill Watson.The artificial intelligence system that uses natural language processing and machine learning to analye large amounts of data has even been cleverer than human competitors on the television show.It would therefore easily be able to handle routine questions that required little “thining”.The professor and his team of graduate students began by populating Jill’s memory with 40,000 questions and answers from past terms.Then came the testing stage.At first,Jill was not very good and often gave strange answers.It often got stuc on certain eywords.By the end of the semester,Jill had attained enough nowledge and sills to participate in forums without any management from Goel,or the other assistants.28.What surprised the students who tae the online course?A.The course was interesting but challenging.B.A teaching assistant wasn’t a real person.C.Jill Watson is a hard-woring TA.D.They all failed to pass their course.29.What’s the best title for the tet?A.A Robot of Georgia gives an online courseB.Asho Goel Came up with the Idea of Jill WatsonC.Jill Watson—One of the Nine Teaching AssistantsD.Georgia Tech’s Teaching Assistant Turn Out to Be a Robot30.Why did Goel decide to invent a smart robot?A.A number of students too his online course.B.A smart robot is cleverer than a human being.C.Too many similar questions are to be dealt with.D.A smart robot could be easily controlled by him.31.What can we infer from the tet?A.Students should deal with routine questions.B.Jill is mainly in charge of posting surprising news.C.The TAs give students homewor at a certain time.D.Goel is satisfied with Jill’s present performance.DFidel Castro was born at his father’s farm on August 13,1926.His father,Angel Castro,was a migrant to Cuba from Galicia,Northwest Spain.He had become financially successful by growing sugarcane at Las Manacas farm in Birán,Oriente Province.Aged si,Castro was sent to live with his teacher in Santiago de Cuba,before being baptied(洗礼)into the Roman Catholic Church at the age of eight.Being baptied enabled Castro to attend the La Salle boarding school in Santiago,where he regularly misbehaved,so he was sent to the privately funded Dolores School in Santiago.In 1945 he transferred to a more famous school,De Belén in Havana.Although Castro too an interest in history,geography and debating at Belén,he did not ecel academically,instead devoting much of his time to playing sport.In 1945,Castro began studying law at the University of Havana,where he became involved in student activism,and the violent gangsterism culture within the university.Passionate about anti-imperialism and opposing U.S.interference in the Caribbean,he unsuccessfully campaigned for the presidency of the Federation of University Students on a platform of “honesty,decency and justice”.Castro became critical of the corruption and violence of President Ramon Grau’s government,delivering a public speech on the subject in November 1946 that received coverage on the front page of several newspapers.In 1947,Castro joined the Party of the Cuban People,founded by Eduardo Chibás.Chibás advocated social justice,honest government,and political freedom,while his party eposed corruption and demanded reform.Though Chibás lost the election,Castro remained devoted to woring on his behalf.Social

Caffeine can improve memory among honeybees and lead to better pollination(授粉). According to a recent study published in the journal Science.The study was conducted by a team of researchers at Newcastle University in the United Kingdom. They found that the nectar(花蜜) of some flowers, such as those from grapefruit and lemon plants, as well as certain coffee flowers, contains low doses of caffeine. To get bees to feed on these flowers, the team trained the insects toanother group of bees to feed on nectar from flowers that were sweetened with a sugar, but did not contain caffeine. After 24 hours, the bees trained on caffeinated flowers returned to these plants three times as often as those trained on the sweetened flowers returned to the uncaffeinated plants.Professor Geraldine Wright led the researchers. ‚Remembering floral traits (花部特征) is difficult for bees to perform at a fast pace as they fly from flower to flower and we found that caffeine helps the bee remember where the flowers are,‛ Wright said in a statement.Improved memory led to the better pollination. That’s because once bees sip the caffeine nectar, they continue to look for more coffee plants to pollinate. This also suggests that caffeine plays a role in improving the bees’ ability to search for food.Researchers found that caffeine’s effect on the bee brain is similar to its effect on mammals. ‚The change is similar to that produced by caffeine in neurons (神经元)‛associated with learning and memory in the rat brain,‛ Wright said.Bee populations have declining since 2007. The dramatic drop in the insects’ numbers has serious effects for ecosystems and the farming industry. Bees are needed in the reproduction of crops and spreading wild flower species. Understanding what keeps bees buzzing could help to make sure that the insects are able to remember and pollinate their favorite flowers.56. Which of the following is mentioned in the passage?A. Caffeine has no effect on the rat brain.B. Bee population has been increasing.C. The nectar of lemon plants contains caffeine.D. Bees dislike nectar from sweetened flowers.57. After reading the passage, John, who works in the farming industry,will probably feel ________.A. annoyedB. angryC. nervousD.excited58. Which of the following relationship is correct according to thepassage?A. improved memory — caffeine nectar — better pollinationB. caffeine nectar — improved memory — better pollinationC. improved memory — better pollination — caffeine nectarD. caffeine nectar — better pollination — improved memory59. We can know from the passage that ________.A. the rat is a mammalB. caffeine has nothing to do with memoryD. Geraldine Wright did the research on his own60. What section of a newspaper may this passage be taken from?A. ScienceB. EducationC. CultureD. SportsBIf you’re thinking about reaching for another biscuit to get you through the working day, think again. Eating unhealthy snacks at your desk makes you pile on almost half a stone a year, a survey has revealed. The waistlines of women suffer the most, with the average female putting on 6lb 3oz – the equivalent of a whole dress size – while men see their weight increase by 5lb 2oz.The report into our eating habits found that, on average, we eat at least two snacks a day, with 30 per cent of us tucking into three or more. Women admit eating more than men, with a further 13 per cent of ladies scoffing four or more snacks a day. The research, by The Village Bakery, found biscuits are the most common vice, with 42 per cent regularly opening a pack, closely followed by chocolate (38 per cent), crisps (32 per cent) and cakes (13 per cent).And office workers are worse than most. Cakes and biscuits brought into work by colleagues are one of the main temptations office staff give in to. In addition, 33 per cent admit reaching for nibbles to cope with stress and 22 per cent say they need a sugar rush to perk them up in the afternoon.Simon Staddon, of The Village Bakery, said: ‚We were aware time-poor office workers can find it difficult to easily access a nutritional lunch. But we were really shocked by the extent to which ‘quick fix' lunches are affecting weight gain and general wellbeing. Popular mid-afternoon pick-me-ups such biscuits, chocolate and cakes are high in calories, fat and full of sugar, all of which affect your blood sugar levels and ultimately lead to weight gain.‛The survey of 2,000 British men and women suggests we are often ashamed of our unhealthy eating. Twenty-four per cent of Britons admit lying about how many snacks they eat with 33 per cent of women lying, compared to 20 per cent of men. Unfortunately, it's not as if we are likely to do anything positive to counteract the sweet treats.61. According to the passage, women usually put weight on first ________.A. on the faceB. on the legsC. on the feetD. in the middle62. What’s the main reason of eating snacks in office?A. Colleagues eat them to save money.C. Colleagues often bring them to office.D. Bosses invite staff to eat them.63. Why do office workers eat a ‚quick fix‛ lunch?A. Because it has much of nutrition.B. Because it has little effect on weight gain.C. Because it has little effect on general wellbeing.D. Because they have short time to have their lunches.64. It can be inferred that British women are ________.A. less likely to lie on snacks than menB. more likely to lie on snacks than menC. more ashamed of eating snacks than menD. less ashamed of eating snacks than men65. What does the underlined word possibly mean?A. act againstB. appeal toC. cope withD. get inCA scientist turns out to be able to see the future by offering each of some four-year-olds a piece of candy and watching how he or she deals with it. Some children reach eagerly for the treat they see. Some last a few minutes before they give in. But others are determined to wait until the last moment.By the time the children reach high school, something remarkable has happened. A survey found that those who as four-year-olds had enough self-control to hold out generally grew up to be more popular, adventurous, confident and dependable. The children who gave in to temptation(诱惑) early were more likely to be lonely, easily frustrated and inflexible(顽固的).Actually, the ability to delay reward is a sign of emotional intelligence which doesn't show up on an IQ test.The hardware of the brain and the software of the mind have long been scientists' concerns. But brain theory can't explain what we wonder about most, like the question why some people remain upbeat in the face of troubles that would sink a less resistant soul.Here comes the theory of Daniel Goleman, writer of Emotional Intelligence: when it comes to predicting people's success, brain ability measured by IQ may actually matter less than the qualities of mind once thought of as ‚character‛.EQ is not the opposite of IQ. What researchers have been trying to understand is how they work together; how one's ability to handle stress, for instance, affects the ability to concentrate and put intelligence to use. Among the ingredients (要素) for success,rest depends on everything from social class to luck.While many researchers in this relatively new field are glad to see emotional issues finally taken seriously, some few fear EQ causes misuse.66. The experiment with the four-year-olds makes it clear that ________.A. the age of 4 is a proper time for scientific experimentB. emotional intelligence won't show up until adolescenceC. the ability of self-control plays a role in personal successD. candy can be used to measure a person's emotional intelligence67. Which of the following is TRUE of EQ and IQ according to the text?A. There is no link between EQ and IQ.B. The higher a person's IQ is, the higher his or her EQ is.C. Some people can be blessed with lots of both, but some with little of either.D. Scientists are trying to discover the way in which EQ and IQ work together.68. The underlined word ‚upbeat‛ in Paragraph 4 probably means ‚________‛.A. kindB. floatingC. excitedD. optimistic69. Why does the author mention the experiment at the beginning of the text?A. To amuse both the children and readers.B. To prove the scientist’s wisdom.C. To introduce the topic of the text.D. To show us how to do an IQ test.70. What is most likely to be written in the paragraph that follows?A. Information about famous people with high EQ.B. Examples showing the opposite voice about EQ.C. Some reasons why EQ is relatively new field.D. Strong demands for basic emotional education.Part IV Writing (45 marks)Section A (10 marks)Directions: Read the following passage.Fill in the numbered blanks by using theinformation from the passage.Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer.The X- Factor (英国偶像), Britain's got talent(英国达人), American Idol(美国偶像)and Super girl, TV talent shows are popular all over the world.the contestant(选手) famous overnight. Susan Boyle was an ordinary English woman before she appeared on Britain’s Got talent, in which she sang ‚I Dreamed a Dream‛. The video clip (片段) of her performance was viewed more than 50 million times within a few weeks. Second, the show offers a good opportunity to display one’s talents. Third, everybody has a fair chance to be involved in the show regardless of the age and background. Even if you can’t perform in the show, you can vote for your favorite contestant through cell phones and the Internet. Fourth, the fun and humorous style also appeals to young people. Last but not least, the modern media such as TV and the Internet contributes greatly to its rapid popularity.However, many people express concerns about TV talent shows. They argue that the TV talent show misleads the young people and makes them believe that they can become famous overnight. Some think the show only creates entertainers rather than artists, because many winners have little idea about real music and acting. What’s worse, some judges even humiliate (羞辱) and laugh at contestants. One contestant from American Idol committed suicide because she couldn’t stand the rejection and humiliation. Even the winners suffer. Susan Boyle suffered a nervous breakdown soon after the show, because she was unable to deal with the pressure.Many countries have realized the problems and taken some steps to regulate the show. The UK requires that contestants younger than 16 not be allowed to participate. China bans TV talent shows to be broadcast during the prime time. In the USA, some insulting judges are punished.Section B (10 marks)Directions: Read the following passage, answer the questions according to the information given in the passage.Generosity and kindness does not mean that you give only when you have a lot or after fulfilling all your needs, but in fact you can still give when you yourself are struggling. Generosity literally means willingness and liberty in giving away one’s own money, time, talent, etc. sincerely without any personal gain as shown in the following story.Mahatma Gandhi went from city to city, village to village collecting funds for the Charkha Sangh. During one of his tours he addressed a meeting in Orissa. After his speech a poor old lady got up. She was gone with age, her hair was grey and her clothes were in rags. The volunteers tried to stop her, but she fought her way to the place where Mahatma Gandhi was sitting.‚I must see him,‛ she insisted. She went up to Mahatma Gandhi and touched his feet. Then from the folds of her sari(卷布), she brought out a copper coin and placed it at his feet. Mahatma Gandhi picked up the copper coin and put it away carefully. The Charkha Sangh funds were under the charge of Jamnalal Bajaj. He asked Mahatma Gandhi for the coin but Mahatma Gandhi refused.‚I keep cheques worth thousands of rupees (卢比) for the Charkha Sangh,‛ Jamnalal Bajaj said laughingly, ‚yet you won’t trust me withthousands,‛ Mahatma Gandhi said. ‚If a man has one hundred thousand rupees and he gives away a thousand or two, it doesn’t mean much.‛‚But this coin was perhaps all that the poor lady possessed. She gave me all she had. That was very generous of her. What a great sacrifice she made. That is why I value this copper coin more than ten millions of rupees.‛81. What does generosity really mean according to the passage? (No more than 14 words)_________________________________________________________________________82. What did Gandhi make a speech in Orissa for? (No more than 12 words)_________________________________________________________________________83. Why did the old lady insist seeing Gandhi?

英语高考试题全国卷二2017及英语高考模拟卷
英语高考试题全国卷二2017及英语高考模拟卷英语高考试题全国卷二2017及英语高考模拟卷第三部分阅读理解(共15小题;每小题2分,满分30分)请认真阅读下列短文,从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中,选出最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
AIt might sound unbelievable that two kids under the age of ten would choose to hang out at a hotel instead of going to Disney World, just minutes away, but that’s exactly what happened when we visited the new Four Seasons Resort Orlando at Walt Disney World Resort last month. What kind of a hotel makes kids forget about Disney World?Check In: As I was signing the necessary paperwork at the front desk, my kids were taken away by Wayne, the receptionist, to a large interactive map of the resort in the entrance hall. Wayne used the touch screen to show the kids the entire resort and talked about all of the fun things to do, like the kid’s club, the waterslides, and the game room. I’ve never seen so much attention paid to the kids at check-in — such a cool touch.The Room: Not only were there kid-sized robes in the room, there were play things, NatGeo Kids magazines, chocolate lollypops, and milk chilling in the refrigerator. Plus, the room was designed from a family perspective. The sinks and shower settings were easily reachable, and the king bed and very comfortable sofa pull-out could easily fit a family of four, if not five. We had plenty of room.The Pools: There’s a large shallow infinity pool. There’s a meandering lazy river. There’s a water park. There’s an area for pool volleyball and basketball. And there are two very funwaterslides. We spent many hours roaming among them all, and just hanging out in a private teepee-shaped cabana next to the waterslides. So fun!No Surcharges: There’s no resort fee. If you want to use one of the cool cabanas around the poo ls, it’s included. For the kids club, you can use it as much or as little as you want to and the Hideout game room has a lot of activities, like pinball, at no cost. We took advantage of pretty much everything around the hotel except for the spa, and our final bill only showed our room charges, taxes, and meals. And if my kids were still under five, their meals would have been free.56. The passage is written by the author mainly to ________.A. advertise a hotel at Walt Disney World ResortB. introduce the good service Walt Disney providesC. recall the experience that they once had in a hotelD. share information about a hotel near Disney World57. Customers don’t need to pay for ________ when they stay in the hotel.A. cool cabanasB. roomsC. the spaD. taxes58. What can we learn from the passage?A. The hotel isn’t an ideal choice for a family of more than four.B. The two kids of the author should have been over five years old.C. The author spent hours playing pool volleyball and basketball.D. The receptionist showed children around Disney World Resort.BMore than 100 million people in Nigeria are not connectedto the Internet. There are only a few networks that offer service and it is costly and undependable. Now, a new project providesa resource for offline viewing at no cost.A non-profit organization called The WiderNet Project has developed the offline eGranary Digital Library. The service puts millions of digital documents, multimedia work and websites onto a server. The information is then available to students, medical workers, and researchers at no cost, whether there is Internet or not.Users can access informative websites that eGranary updates every day such as Wikipedia, Khan Academy, Project Gutenberg, MIT OpenCourseWare, and MIT BLOSSOMS (which is Math and Science video lessons for high school students). Other resources on the service include university and medical publications, computer software, and educational games.Ahmadu Bello University, the largest university in Nigeria and the second largest in Africa, uses eGranary’s digital educational resources. Kasa Mathias, head of the school’s database department, says students can access tens of thousands of educational materials without much problem.“We give them background information on the available databases that they can use for their research work, their assignments, especially projects, and sometimes we will carry them through sensitizing (激活) on new databases that are available for them.”Ibitoye Idowu, a first-year student of archeology, says easy access to university reading material, documents and journals has greatly helped his studying process, and that in some cases, he understands the digital materials better than class lectures.Students now have great reading material, but only whenthere is electric power. It often fails. Student Ibitoye Idowu says those moments are difficult.Muhammed Mu’azu who leads the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department says the university has spent a large amount of money on access to information, which is available for 40,000 students and teachers.“With or without Internet access students and staff have most of these educational databases and university has also invested a lot in Internet access so even for online materials they are readily available for staff and students anywhere you are in the university campus.”There are fears that students may waste time on social media networks like Facebook and Twitter instead of spending it on school work. Professor Mu’azu says the university ne eds to be careful about placing restrictions on usage. But he says it will investigate what a user is accessing if a large amount of bandwidth is used.Muhammed Mu’azu compares the speed of the offline service to access over the Internet. The eGranary server can download hundreds of pages in less than 15 minutes. In the past, a 10-page document would take hours to download.WiderNet says it aims to expand to thousands more education and health centers around the world.59. The eGranary Digital Library is mainly intended for ________.A. poor people in NigeriaB. Ahmadu Bello UniversityC. teachers and staff of a universityD. people who can’t access the Internet60. The underlined word “them” in Paragraph 5 probably refers to ________.A. educational materialsB. available databasesC. assignments and projectsD. university students61. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. Offline eGranary Digital Library is available to over 100 million people in Nigeria now.B. A university needs to pay for the service of eGranary Digital Library to offer it to students.C. The power supply becomes the main challenge students face when using offline project.D. Education and health centers in the world will all use eGranary’s digital educational resou rces.CScientists have known for decades that having measles (麻疹) suppresses kids’ immune systems for several weeks or months, leaving them ill-equipped to fight off pneumonia, bronchitis and other infections.Now a team of researchers has suggested that the measles virus may also leave a longer-lasting sort of “immune-amnesia” that makes it harder for people to stave off other illnesses for two years or more.That re-emphasizes the importance of vaccination (疫苗), said biologist Michael Mina, lead author of a paper that was published in the journal Science.“There may be a long-lasting impact that you can’t undo if your child gets measles,” he said. “I hope this study can impress upon people the danger measles poses.”The researchers used what Mina called “an unconventional approach” to search for the long-lasting immune system effects. Previous work in monkeys suggested that monkeys with the disease lost white blood cells their bodies had trained to fightoff other illnesses, leaving them more likely to be infected.To test if a similar thing may occur in humans, the group mined historical data to find out the relationship between measles incidence (发病率) and deaths from other infectious diseases.They turned to data from England and Wales — developed nations where disease levels are generally low, allowing a less-confused view of measles’ effects. Studying measles incidence and deaths from infectious disease both before and after the introduction of the measles vaccine in the U.K. in the 1960s, Mina and the team saw a sort of shadow effect, where deaths from a variety of non-measles infectious diseases closely tracked measles incidence. The more measles in a population, the more deaths from other illnesses in the 28-month period that followed.“Really it didn’t matter what age group, what decade or what country,” said Mina. “They all showed consistent results … what we’re suggesting happens over the long term is that your immune system works fine, but it has forgotten what it previously learned.”Some researchers who were not involved in the work questioned whether the reductions in deaths as measles cases declined may have had more to do with improving nutrition and smaller family size than with prolonged immune suppression.Others thought the paper’s opinion o f years-long suppression was seemingly reasonable but said they could not comment on the mathematical models the group used.To know for certain what was behind the effect the group saw, Mina agreed, scientists would need to look at immune cells and observe their behavior. He said he would like to push the work in a more traditional direction: back into the laboratory.62. Why did Mina call their research method “an unconventional approach”?A. Their research was based on the historical data.B. Their research compared monkeys with humans.C. They only paid attention to developed nations.D. They discovered a sort of shadow effect.63. According to Mina, what is the significance of their research?A. They warned people that measles can result in other infectious diseases.B. They carried out the research on measles in an unconventional approach.C. They showed how dangerous measles is and the importance of vaccination.D. They found out the disease levels are generally low in developed nations..64. The under lined phrase “stave off” in Paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to ________.A. keep awayB. survive fromC. search forD. turn down65. Which of the following may be the best title of the passage?A. Measles has been the origin of other diseases and deathsB. New research conducted into measles has been widely questionedC. Study points to years-long immune system misfortunes from measlesD. Damage caused by measles to the immune system could last several weeksDSvetlana Alexandrovna Alexievich, born on 31 May 1948, is aBelarusian investigative journalist and non-fiction prose writer, writing in Russian. She was awarded the 2015 Nobel Prize in Literature “for her polyphonic writings, a monument to suffering and courage in our time”. She is the first writer from Belarus to receive the award.Alexievich grew up in Belarus. After finishing school she worked as a reporter in several local newspapers before graduating from Belarusian State University and becoming a journalist for the literary magazine Neman in Minsk.She went on to a career in journalism and writing narratives from interviews with witnesses to the most dramatic events in the country, such as World War II, the Soviet–Afghan War, the fall of the Soviet Union, and the Chernobyl disaster. After political persecution (迫害) by the Lukashenko administration, she left Belarus in 2000. The International Cities of Refuge Network offered her shelter and during the following decade she lived in Paris, Gothenburg and Berlin. In 2011, Alexievich moved back to Minsk.According to Russian writer and critic Dmitry Bykov, her books owe much to the ideas of Belarusian writer Ales Adamovich, who felt that the best way to describe the horrors of the 20th century was not by creating fiction but through recording the evidence of witnesses. Belarusian poet Uladzimir Nyaklyayew called Adamovich “her literary godfather”. He also named the documentary novel I’m from the Burned Village by Ales Adamovich, Janka Bryl and Uladzimir Kalesnik, about the villages burned by the Nazi troops during the occupation of Belarus, as the main single book that has influenced Alexievich’s attitude to literature. Alexievich admitted the influence of Adamovich and added, among others, Belarusian writer VasilBykaŭas another source of impact on her. Her most notable works in English translation include a collection of first-hand accounts from the war in Afghanistan (Zinky Boys: Soviet Voices from a Forgotten War) and a highly praised oral history of the Chernobyl disaster (Voices from Chernobyl).Alexievich describes the theme of her works this way: If you look back at the whole of our history, both Soviet and post-Soviet, it is a huge common grave and a blood bath. An eternal dialogue of the executioners and the victims. The accursed Russian questions: what is to be done and who is to blame. The revolution, the gulags, the Second World War, the Soviet–Afghan war hidden from the people, the downfall of the great empire, the downfall of the giant socialist land, the land-utopia, and now a challenge of cosmic dimensions — Chernobyl. This is a challenge for all the living things on earth. Such is our history. And this is the theme of my books, this is my path, my circles of hell, from man to man.Her first book, War’sUnwomanly Face, came out in 1985. It was repeatedly reprinted and sold more than two million copies. The book was finished in 1983 and published (in short edition) in Oktyabr, a Soviet monthly literary magazine, in February 1984. In 1985, the book was published by several publishers, and the number of printed copies reached 2,000,000 in the next five years. This novel is made up of monologues (独白) of women in the war speaking about the aspects of World War II that had never been related before. Another book, The Last Witnesses: the Book of Unchildlike Stories, describes personal memories of children during war time. The war seen through women’s and children’s eyes revealed a new world of feelings. In 1993, she published Enchanted with Death, a book about attempted andcompleted suicides due to the downfall of the Soviet Union. Many people felt inseparable from the Communist ideology and unable to accept the new order surely and the newly interpreted history.Her books were not published by Belarusian state-owned publishing houses after 1993, while private publishers in Belarus have only published two of her books: Voices from Chernobyl in 1999 and Second-hand Time in 2013, both translated into Belarusian. As a result, Alexievich has been better known in the rest of world than in Belarus.66. According to the passage, Alexievich was able to win the 2015 Nobel Prize in Literature mainly because ________.A. she is superior to other writers in literatureB. she is the greatest journalist all over the worldC. she witnessed the most dramatic events in BelarusD. her works reflected the suffering and courage in her time67. Who played a significant role in Alexievich’s literary world?A. Ales Adamovich and Vasil Bykaŭ.B. Dmitry Bykov and Ales Adamovich.C. Uladzimir Kalesnik and Janka Bryl.D. Vasil Bykaŭand Uladzimir Nyaklyayew.68. Which of the following is TRUE about Alexievich’s first book?A. It was not until 5 years later that the book was well received.B. It is written from the viewpoint of women and children involved in the war.C. It was first published by Belarusian state-owned publishing houses in 1984.D. It reveals something unknown about World War II to the public.69. What can we know from the theme of Alexievich’s works?A. She discusses who is to blame for the wars in her works.B. She takes a practical view of the future for her motherland.C. Her works show sorrow and sympathy for war victims and her country.D. Her works merely focused on the disasters the Belarusian experienced.70. What can be inferred from the passage?A. Some people were dependent on the Soviet Union with affection.B. Women and children are the main characters of Alexievich’s works.C. Voices from Chernobyl published in 1999 was written in Belarusian.D. Alexievich has been highly respected by the Lukashenko administration.第四部分任务型阅读(共10小题;每小题1分,满分10分)请认真阅读下列短文,并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。

Children naturally prefer to read in a relaxed position.12.What could he the best title for the text?______A. Good behavior pays off in the endB. Shoeless children do better at schoolC.

If a couple with their son aged 5 attend the second and the third exhibitions, how much should they pay?A. $ 53.B. $61.C. $75.D. $82.22. Which of the following may attract a sport-lover most?A.

Persuade people to study history seriouslyB. Attract more visitors to join in the exhibitionsC. Advise people to spend more time with familiesD. Compare the differences of four different exhibitionsBMeet Ben Saunders: adventurer, athlete, motivational speaker. Ben, at the age of 23, was the youngest man to ski solo (单人滑雪) to the North Pole. He dragged a 180-kilogramme sledge (雪橇) over 1,420 miles through the worst Arctic conditions. This year, as well as planning a return to the Arctic, Ben plans to ski solo from the Antarctic coast to the South Pole and back in the autumn, carrying all his supplies on his sledge.Ben Saunders was fired after persuading the firm to support his disorganized first adventure. “Everything that could go wrong did go wrong. We were attacked by a bear. We started running out of food. It was just desperate. And we didn't get to the Pole; we didn't get there, so we had no media interest. No one heard about it: no book deal, and no speaking. I was so unhappy.”People said it was impossible for me to get to the Pole. I said, “No, I can get there,” and I did. Self-belief, I see it as being a bit like a muscle — it's my belief that the more you stretch (伸展) yourself, the stronger it gets. If you never do anything that's uncomfortable or risky then your self-belief gets weaker. So that's one of the lessons I've figured out along the way. The thing that I've stretched and tested is my self-belief.“My Antarctic adventure is just practicable and that's what is exciting to me. If I knew it was possible, if I knew I could do it without too much bother, I wouldn't be interested.” Why? “Personally I'm attracted by the human performance element to it. Not that long ago, running a marathon was seen as the top point ofhuman attempt, and now I wouldn't be that surprised if my mum said she was going to run one next year.”People's horizons (见识) are changing. “I'm not particularly gifted, and I'm absolutely average. I've just chosen this one goal to achieve and I've been working hard to realize it. That's it. And that's the thing that attracts me: with enough training and enough determination, enough focus and preparation, how far can we go? And I don't think I've found out yet.”24. What do we know about Ben Saunders' first adventure?A. There was no press coverage.B. It was supported by his company.C. It was well planned and organized.D. He actually reached the North Pole.25. According to Ben Saunders, if you want to stretch your self-belief, you should _____.A. often test your confidenceB. try something adventurousC. aim to reach the North PoleD. always stretch your muscles26. Ben Saunders was excited about his Antarctic adventure because _____.A. he liked running a marathonB. he wanted to exercise his bodyC. he knew it might be achievableD. he was sure he could do it easily27. What can we learn from the last paragraph?A. We have to change our views about adventure.B. We may never know our possibilities and energies.C. We should have a reason for going on an adventure.D. We have to be especially talented to have an adventure.CWe’ve reached a strange–some would say unusual–point. While fighting world hunger continues to be the matter of vital importance according to a recent report from the World Health Organization, more people now die from being overweight, orsay, from being extremely fat, than from being underweight. It’s the good life that’s more likely to kill us these days.Worse still, nearly 18 million children under the age of five around the world are estimated to be overweight. What’s going on?We really don’t have many excuses for our weight problems. The dangers of the problem have been drilled into us by public–health campaigns since 2001 and the message is getting through-up to a point.In the 1970s, Finland, for example, had the highest rate of heart disease in the world and being overweight was its main cause. Not any more. A public–health campaign has greatly reduced the number of heart disease deaths by 80 percent over the past three decades.Maybe that explains why the percentage of people in Finland taking diet pills doubled between 2001 and 2005, and doctors even offer surgery of removing fat inside and change the shape of the body. That has become a sort of fashion. No wonder it ranks as the world’s most body –conscious country.We know what we should be doing to lose weight—but actually doing it is another matter. By far the most popular excuse is not taking enough exercise. More than half of us admit we lack willpower. Others blame good food. They say: it’s just too inviting and it makes them overeat. Still others lay the blame on the Americans, complaining that pounds have piled on thanks to eating too much American–style fast food.Some also blame their parents—their genes. But unfortunately, the parents are wronged because they’re normal in shape, or rather slim.It’s a similar story around the world, although people are relatively unlikely to have tried to lose weight. Parents are eager to see their kids shape up. Do asI say—not as I do.28. What’s the “strange” point mentioned in the first sentence?A. The good life is a greater risk than the bad life.B. Starvation is taking more people’s lives in the world.C. WHO report shows people’s unawareness of food safety.D. Overweight issue remains unresolved despite WHO’s efforts.29. Why does the author think that people have no excuse for being overweight?A. A lot of effective diet pills are available.B. Body image has nothing to do with good food.C. They have been made fully aware of its dangers.D. There are too many overweight people in the world.30. The example of Finland is used to illustrate _______.A. the cause of heart diseaseB. there are too many overweight people in the worldC. the effectiveness of a campaignD. the fashion of body shaping31. Which would be the best title for the passage?A. Actions or ExcusesB. Overweight or UnderweightC. WHO in a DilemmaD. No Longer Dying of HungerDAdults are happy to tell their children that crusts (面包皮) will give them curly hair, carrots will help them see in the dark, and spinach will make them strong. Even though adults know it's not totally true, they think it's good for their children's health, a study had found.In a study about 31 percent of adults said they once told their children the curly hair tale, and 36 percent said they'd been told the same thing by their mother or father. Among the over-50s, almost half said they'd been promised curly hair if they ate their crusts. A quarter of the 2,000 adults questioned in the study told their children carrots would help them see in the dark. This could be true to some extent because of the high levels of vitamin A and beta-carotene in root vegetables. Another favorite among parents is that milk will make one strong. A third surveyed said their parents told them this, and about 29 percent said they told their children the same thing. But while there is plenty of evidence to suggest milk is good for people's health, there are also a lot of scientific papers saying it isn't. Thanks to Popeye, spinach is also fed to children, along with the idea that it will make them strong. While there is also some truth in this one, scientists nowbelieve it is not the iron, but the inorganic nitrates (无机硝酸盐) that improve physical power.One in seven of the surveyed admitted telling their little ones that runner beans will make them run faster, which is nothing more than wordplay and has no basis in science. Almost one in five adults were subjected to the same tale in childhood. Just over one in 10 parents told their children green food would turn them into a superhero, and a quarter admitted hiding vegetables in meals.Lyndsay Jones, spokesman for Persil Washing Up Liquid, said, "It's clear that the most persuasive stories about food are passed on from generation to generation. Our research shows that the ideas continue, and we tell our kids the same things our parents told us, even if they're not always entirely true."Crusts may not make your hair curly, but there's plenty of research that says crusts contain more of the goodness than the rest of a loaf. Hopefully, as a result of our Cook with Kids promise, more parents will be encouraged to spend time with their children in the kitchen and teach them the truth about food.32. We can know from Paragraph 3 that ________.A. a third people are forced to drink milk by their parentsB. milk is beneficial to children's physical strengthC. there is doubt whether milk is helpful to people's healthD. about 29 percent people wish their children good health33. Which of the following does Lyndsay Jones agree?A. Adults are willing to teach their children as their parents did.B. Most persuasive stories about food are false.C. Stories about food shouldn't be passed on from generation to generation.D. Parents can't make sure if some stories about food are totally true.34. We can learn from the passage that ________.A. scientists think the iron in spinach helps children grow strongB. parents are expected to tell children the truth about foodC. runner beans can really make children run fastD. crusts are said to contain less nutrition than a loaf35. How is the passage mainly developed?A. By following time orderB. By making comparisons.C. By giving examples.D. By analyzing causes.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。

Two of the saddest words in the English language are "if only". I live my life with the goal of never having to say those words, because they convey regret, lost opportunities, mistakes, and disappointment.My father is famous in our family for saying, "Take the extra minute to do it right." Ialways try to live by the "extra minute" rule. When my children were young and likely to cause accidents, I always thought about what I could do to avoid an "if only"moment, whether it was something minor like moving a cup full of hot coffee away from the edge of a counter, or something that required a little more work such as taping padding (衬垫) onto the sharp corners of a glass coffee table.I don't only avoid those "if only" moments when it comes to safety. It's equally important to avoid "if only" in our personal relationships. We all know people who lost a loved one and regretted that they had ________ an opportunity to say "I love you" or "I forgive you." When my father announced he was going to the eye doctor across from my office on Good Friday, I told him that it was a holiday for my company and I wouldn't be here. But then I thought about the fact that he's 84years old and I realized that I shouldn't give up an opportunity to see him. I called him and told him I had decided to go to work on my day off after all.I know there will still be occasions when I have to say "if only" about something, but my life is definitely better because of my policy of doing everything possible to avoid that eventuality. And even though it takes an extra minute to do something right, or it occasionally takes an hour or two in my busy schedule to make a personal connection, I know that I'm doing the right thing. I'm buying myself peace of mind and that's the best kind of insurance for my emotional well﹣being.(1)Which of the following is an example of the "extra minute" rule?________A Start the car the moment everyone is seated.B Leave the room for a minute with the iron working.C Wait for an extra minute so that the steak tastes better.D Move an object out of the way before it trips someone.(2)The author decided to go to her office on Good Friday to________.A keep her appointment with the eye doctor.B meet her father who was already an old man.C join in the holiday celebration of the company.D finish her work before the deadline approached.(3)The underlined word "foregone" in Paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to________.A avoided.B lacked.C abandoned.D took.(4)What is the best title for the passage?________A The Emotional Well﹣being.B The Two Saddest Words.C The Most Useful Rule.D The Peace of Mind.8. Often a nickname is a shortened form of a person's name, and it can also be a descriptive name for a place or a thing. Many American cities have nicknames. These can help build up an identity, spread pride among citizens and build their unity. Nicknames can also be funny.Los Angeles, California is the second largest city in population, after New York City. Los Angeles has several nicknames. One is simply the city's initials, L.A. It is also called the City of Angels because Los Angeles means "the angels" in Spanish.Los Angeles often has warm, sunny weather. So another nickname is City of Flowers andSunshine. New York is called The Big Apple. So Los Angeles is sometimes called The Big Orange because of the fruit that grows in that city's warm climate.The American movie and television industries are based in Los Angeles. So it is not surprising that it is called The Entertainment Capital of the World. Many films are made in the area of Los Angeles called Hollywood. Millions of people visit the area. ________Many movie stars live in Los Angeles. The city is sometimes called Tinseltown. This nickname comes from the shiny, bright and often unreal nature of Hollywood and the movie industry.Another nickname for Los Angeles is La﹣La Land, using the first letters of Los and Angeles. This means a place that is fun and not serious, and maybe even out of touch with reality.A good place for watching unusual﹣looking people is Venice, an area on the west side of Los Angeles. A system of waterways designed after the Italian city of Venice has been built there. Many people love Los Angeles for its warm sunny weather, beautiful mountains and beaches, and movie stars. That includes Randy Newman, who sings about his hometown. On the whole, Los Angeles is growing attractive just for its rich nicknames.(1)Choose the one that isn't the function of a nickname of a place.________A Uniting surrounding cities.B Entertainment.C Bringing pride to the locals.D Establishing characteristics.(2)Which of the following can best replace the underlined sentence?________A Seeing the big letters "Hollywood" on a hillside means you've been really to Los Angeles.B Not seeing the word "Hollywood" on a hillside means you haven't been to Los Angeles.C If you visit Los Angeles you should first pay a visit to "Hollywood" s on a hillside.D Your trip to Los Angeles is not complete if you miss the big letters "Hollywood" on a hillside.(3)What's the number of the nicknames given to Los Angeles?________A 5.B 4.C 7.D 6.(4)According to the passage, the true statement is________.A Los Angeles was built after the Italian city of Venice.B Hollywood alone adds fame to Los Angeles.C Los Angeles is most famous for its nicknames.D All the nicknames increase the charm of Los Angeles.9. Thousands of taxi drivers in Shenyang, Liaoning province, reportedly blocked streets with their cars on Sunday in protest against unlicensed cars using taxi﹣hiring apps (打车软件) and apps﹣based car rental companies providing passenger services, including high﹣end cars. Although the drivers also complained about the withdrawal of the fuel subsidy (补贴) by the government, their main complaint was the loss of business because of the rising number of Internet﹣based car services companies.On Wednesday, news reports came that Beijing transport authorities will take measures to stop the illegal "taxi business" of private cars through the newly rising Internetapps, following the footsteps of Shenyang and Nanjing.It is not yet clear how the Shenyang city government will handle the issue and whether it will declare the services offered by market leaders such as Didi Dache, a taxi﹣hiring app provider backed by Tencent Holdings, and Kuaidi Dache illegal. But Shanghai transport regulators(交通管理机构) have set a rule, by banning Didi Zhuanche, or car services offered by Didi Dache in December.Such regulations (规定) will cause a setback(挫折) to the car﹣hiring companies and investors that are waiting to cash in on the potentially booming business. Just lastmonth, Didi Dache got ﹩700million in funding from global investors, including Singapore state investment company Temasek Holdings, Russian investment company DST Global and Tencent. Besides, the market is uncertain that Kuaidi Dache is about to finalize its latest round of funding after getting ﹩800million from global investors.Regulatory uncertainties, however, could cast a shadow on the future of the Internet﹣based car﹣hiring services, which have become popular in most of China's big cities. To be fair, these companies' business model is anything but bad. For example, Didi Zhuanche works side by side with established car rental companies to provide high﹣end car service mainly for business﹣people through the Internet and mobile phone apps.Every link in this business model chain has legal companies and services. Hence, it is hard to define it as illegal and ban it.(1)Why did taxi drivers in Shenyang block the streets with their vehicles?________A Because they wanted the authority to increase their driving allowances.B Because they wanted to be taught how to use the taxi﹣hiring apps.C Because they wanted to make their main complaints known to the authority.D Because they wanted to appealto passengers not to hire the private cars.(2)The author's attitude to banning internet car﹣hiring service is________.A positive.B negative.C neutral (中立的).D unclear.(3)Which of the following statements is false according to the passage?________A The problem referred to in the passage exists in all cities.B App﹣based car rental is functional to some degree.C The government should regulate the app﹣based car rental market.D Didi Dache is a China﹣foreign joint company.第二节(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.10.ForgivenessTo forgive is a virtue,but no one has ever said it is easy.When someone has deeply hurt you,it can be extremely difficult to let go of your hate.However,forgiveness is possible,and it can be surprisingly beneficial to your physical and mental health.People who forgive show less sadness,anger and stress and more hopefulness,according to a recent research.(1)_______ Try the following steps:Calm yourself.(2)_______ You can take a couple of breaths and think of something thatgives you pleasure:a beautiful scene in nature,or someone you love.Don't wait for an apology.Many times the person who hurt you does not intend to apologize.They may have wanted to hurt you or they just don't see things the same way.(3)_______ Keep in mind that forgiveness does not necessarily mean becoming friends again with the person who upset you.Take the control away from your offender(冒犯者).Rethinking about you hurt gives power to the person who causes you pain.Instead of focusing on your mounded feelings,learn to look for the love,beauty and kindness around you.(4)_______ If you understand your offender,you may realize that he or she was acting out of unawareness,fear,and even love.You may want to write a letter to yourself from your offender's point of view.Don't forget to forgive yourself.(5)_______ But it can rob you of your self﹣confidence if you don't do it.A.Why should you forgive?B.How should you start to forgive?C.Recognize the benefits of forgiveness.D.Try to see things from you offender's angle.E.For some people,forgiving themselves is the biggest challenge.F.To make your anger die away,try a simple stress﹣management technique.G.If you wait for people to apologize,you could be waiting an awfully long time.第三部分英语知识运用(共两节)第一节完形填空(每小题1. 5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和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.11.

She has been teased, stared at in the street, and called“the world’s ugliest woman” by cyber bullies(网络地痞).Lizzie Velasquez of Austin, Texas, was born without adipose tissue(肌肉组织)meaning that she has no body fat, and, despite eating up to 60 small meals a day, remains a delicate 27 kilos.The rare condition is thought to affect just two other people worldwide.Miss Velasquez has now written a second book about her struggle to be accepted, and hopes it will help others in a similar position.In Be Beautiful.Be You the college student shares advice on being unique.how to make and keep good friends, and how to deal with bullying and other negativity.When asked how she deals with being constantly stared at in the street, Miss Velasquez says, “I always go up to these people and introduce myself, or give them my card and say, ‘Hi,I’m Lizzie--maybe you should stop staring and start learning.’” Miss Velasquez says when cyber bullies first started attacking her online it was hard.Eventually she realized that the people mocking her online were just cowards hiding behind a computer screen.“Lizzie was born four weeks prematurely.Doctors told us they had no idea if she would survive.”Miss Velasquez’s mother Rita says.“They told us she would never be able to walk, talk or have a norma1 life.”Rita Velasquez has two other daughters, and both of them are of average height and weight.

The results of an admittedly small but telling new study suggest that Medicare and other insures could be spending billions of dollars on screening(拍片检查)smokers for lung cancer that would be better spent on helping them quit and keeping others from starting.The new study indicated that screening more often supported smokers’ beliefs that they could safely continue to smoke.Most participants remained smoker because they believed screening could catch cancer early before it would threaten their lives.“They compared how hard it was to quit smoking with how easy it was to be screened, ”said S teven B. Zeliadt, the lead author of the study. "They engaged in magical thinking that now there's this wonderful painless external test that can save lives."He and seven colleagues conducted the study of 37 current smokers who were offered lung cancer screening at Department of Veteran Affairs. After being screened and told the results. they were interviewed about their smoking-related health beliefs. For about half of those in whom cancer was not found. "Screening lowered their motivation for quitting." the team reported in July in JAMA Internal Medicine. The participants focused only on lung cancer, ignoring other potential harm of smoking. the researchers wrote.A national study published four years ago found that annual CT screening for lung cancer three years in a row could reduce deaths among heavy smokers by about 20 percent.In an interview, Dr. Russell P.

What are you going to do if you are in a burning house? How will you escape? Do you know how to save yourself? Please read the following passage.Escaping a fire is a serious matter. Knowing what to do during a fire can save yourlife. It is important to know the ways you can use and show them to everyone in the family, such as stairways and fire escapes, but not lifts.From the lower floors of the buildings, escaping through windows is possible; learn the best way of leaving by windows with the least chance of serious injury.The second floor window is usually not very high from the ground. An averageperson, hanging by the finger﹣tips will have a drop of about six feet to the ground. It is about the height of an average man. Of course, it is safer to jump a short way than to stayin a burning building.Windows are also useful when you are waiting for help. Be sure to keep the door closed. Or smoke and fire may be drawn into the room. Keep your head low at the window to be sure you get fresh air rather than smoke that may leaked(渗) into the room. On a second or third floor, the best windows for escape are those that open onto a roof. From the roof a person can drop to the ground more safely. Dropping onto cement (水泥) might end in injury. Bushes(灌木丛) and grass can help to break a fall.(1)It is important to________.A put out the fire in the burning house.B know the ways to escape thefire. C jump off a burning house. D keep the door closed.(2)It is possible to escape through the windows________.A if there are some bushes on the ground.B if you are strong enough.C if youlive on a lower floor. D If you have a long rope.(3)Which of the following escaping way is NOT right?________.A You can escape though stairways.B You can choose fire escapes.C Escape from the windows that open onto a roof.D Use a lift to come down at once.(4)Open the window so that________ if the building is on fire.A you can get fresh air.B you can call for help.C you can easily jumpoff. D you can be seen first.(5)The best title of the passage is________.A Escaping from the Windows.B Save Yourself in the BurningHouse. C Knowledge on Fire.

A. Moving to . B. Holiday plans. C. A party with old friends.
Do you remember the night of my first high school party? My friends were intrigued by you. They treated you as if they were never going to see you again, drinking all of you that they could. I spent two hours that night helping my friends who had fallen head over heels for you. “I’m so embarrassed,” they said as I held their hair back so that they could throw up. “I’m sorry,” they said when I called taxis for them, walking them out and paying the driver in advance. “This won’t happen again,” they said as they were sent to the hospital to have their stomachs pumped. Two 15-year-old girls slept in hospital beds that night due to you.

Experts are not sure about the materials the Italian artist used and their current chemical state.Nearly 6 million people go to see the Mona Lisa every year, many attracted by the mystery of her smile. “It is very interesting that when you’re not looking at her, she seems to be smiling, and then you look at her and she stops,” said Professor Margaret Livingstone of Harvard University. “It’s because direct vision(视觉)is excellent at picking up detail, but less suited to looking at shadows. Da Vinci painted the smile in shadows.”However, the actual history of the Mona Lisa is just as mysterious as the smile. Da Vinci himself loved it so much that he always carried it with him, until it was eventually sold to France’s King Francis I in 1519.In 1911, the painting was stolen from the Louvre by a former employee, who took it out of the museum hidden under his coat. He said he planned to return it to Italy. The painting was sent back to France two years later.During World War II, French hid the painting in small towns to keep it out of the hands of German forces.
