小卷速测(十二) 完形填空+阅读理解D+回答问题(限时:20分钟)Ⅰ. 完形填空When I started working, I couldn’t understand why some people seemed to succeed in everything they tried.However, others just couldn’t manage to achieve anything.After a while, I found the biggest 1 lied in setting and reviewing goals regularly.A study shows those who have written goals and review them regularly are among the highest achievers.What do you do with your desires(渴望) in life? You could pay no attention to them and leave them to 2 in your mind, or start taking action to get what you want.You need to set goals.A goal starts with a simple desire.Do you use any 3 for not setting goals? Whatever it is, I am sure your excuse is limiting you.If you’re 4 about what you want, you might end up at a certain age with things that you didn’t wan t.Setting goals and reviewing them regularly can increase your chances of succeeding.It can give you the right direction and 5 you moving closer to what you want.You will achieve more in months than many people do in years.If you have a strong desire for something, you will have two 6 :wishful thinking, or taking action.You can wish for a miracle(奇迹), but do nothing.Or, you can get clear on the steps and take them, 7 , one by one until you reach success.Setting goals is the most important and necessary step to achieve success in any area.It begins with a desire, and then a written goal, 8 by the right attitude and action.Keep reviewing your goals and watch how your wish miraculously turns into your reality.( )1.A.difference B.surprise C.hope D.sale( )2.A.sing B.dance C.light D.disappear( )3.A.tools B.excuses C.stories D.examples( )4.A.excited B.unclear C.sure D.unhappy( )5.A.imagine B.feel C.stop D.keep( )6.A.steps B.decisions C.choices D.wishes( )7.A.slowly B.suddenly C.luckily D.sadly( )8.A.decided B.corrected C.followed D.builtⅡ. 阅读理解Sometimes, when all our doubts, fears and anxiety fill ourselves up, we always come up with the idea of “I wish I was somebody else”. We often believe that someone or rather, most people are better than us—when in actual, the fact is, most people are more frightened than us.We look at a young successful businessman and say “Wooh… what else could he ask for?” He looks at himself in the mirror and talks to himself, “I hate my big eyes… I wonder why my friends won’t talk to me.”Isn’t it funny? We look at o ther people, envy(羡慕) them for looking so unusually perfect and wish we could trade places with them, while they look at us and think of the same thing.I have a friend who never gets tired of talking. And in most conversations, she is the only one who see ms to be interested in the things she has to say. So all of our other friends don’t like to be in the circles whenever she’s around.One key to self-improvement is to LISTEN and TALK to a trusted friend. Find someone who you find comforts in opening up with even the gentlest topics you want to discuss. Ask questions like “Do I talk too loud?”, “Does my breath smell?”, “Do I ever bore you when we’re together?” Lend her your ears for comments and don’t give her answers like “Don’t exaggerate(夸大)! That’s just the way I am!”One of Whitney Houston’s songs says “Learning to love yourself is the greatest love of all.” True enough! In order to love others, you must love yourself too. Remember, you cannot give what you do not have. Self-improvement makes us better people, we then inspire(鼓舞) other people, and then the rest of the world will follow.Stop thinking of yourselves as second-rate beings(二等人). Forget the thought of “If only I was richer… if only I was thinner.” and so on. Accepting your true self is the fir st step to self-improvement.Nobody is perfect. We always wish we had better things, better features, better body parts, etc. But life need not be perfect for people to be happy about themselves.Self-improvement and loving yourself is not a matter of shouting to the whole world that you are perfect and you are the best. It’s the virtue(美德) of acceptance and contentment(知足). When we begin to improve ourselves, we then begin.9.The writer mentions the successful businessman in Paragraph 2 to show that .( )A.most people are unsatisfied with themselvesB.most people hate themselvesC.the businessman hates his big eyesD.the businessman admires himself10.What is the key to solving the businessman’s problem?( )A.He needs to be satisfied with himself.B.He needs to envy other people.C.He needs to accept himself first.D.He needs to be confident.11.The writer probably agrees that . ( )A.you should let others know that you are perfectB.if you want to be happy, you must be perfectC.people should change themselves into othersD.people who accept themselves will become better12.Which of the following would be the best title for the passage? ( )A.Accept YourselfB.Improve YourselfC.Inspire YourselfD.Love YourselfⅢ. 回答问题Garbage(垃圾) IslandYou can’t see it from the air.It’s almost impossible to see from a ship.But somewhere in the North Pacific is a huge island of garbage, just below the water surface.What is the island made of?The garbage island is not an island, but a collection of millions of plasticand other objects(物体).The water movements of the Pacific Ocean bring theobjects together and cause them to go around in a big circle.Charles Moore found it in 1997 and named it“the Great Pacific Garbage Patch”.Where does all the plastic come from?Much of the garbage comes from everyday objects, such as shopping bags and water bottles.Some of these objects finally reach the ocean.Garbage from the west coast of North America takes about six years to reach it.Objects from East Asia take about a year.Other garbage comes from ships passing through the water area.Is the Garbage Patch dangerous?The larger pieces of garbage are a problem for wildlife.For example, sea turtles(海龟) and seabirds often think the plastic is their food.They eat the plastic and die.In addition, the plastic stops sunlight from reaching deeper water.Without sunlight, very small sea animals will die.Then, there is less food for larger fish to eat.What can we do to help stop it?Cleaning up the island isn’t easy.But we can make people realize the problem.One environmentalist(环保主义者), David de Rothschild, is sailing around the world in a boat made of plastic bottles to teach people about the problem of garbage in the sea.Another idea is that we can recycle the plastic garbage.Environmental engineer Cesar Harada is building a robot that collects pieces of plastic.Harada hopes to use his robot in the Pacific.Harada also has a website for reporting environmental problems.He says,“I hope everybody can become an environm ental activist.”13.What is the garbage made of?14.How long does it take objects from East Asia to reach the island?15.Is the garbage island dangerous?16.Why is David de Rothschild sailing in a bottle boat?17.According to the writer, what can we do to help stop garbage island?【参考答案】Ⅰ.1.A 2.D 3.B 4.B 5.D 6.C 7.A 8.CⅡ.[主旨大意] 本文是一篇说明文。

小卷速测(十四) 完形填空+阅读理解D+回答问题(限时:20分钟)Ⅰ. 完形填空As the teacher called my name, I knew what lay ahead.She looked at me directly and made me to the whiteboard to perform a division(除法) problem.Division was my weakest subject.I repeatedly put the numbers in the 1 places, or forgot to add in the zeros.I worriedly 2 myself out of my seat.With every slow step I took, I grew more nervous.My stomach ached, and my whole body shook with 3 .The teacher read the problem aloud.Unsure of myself, I looked at the girl beside me, and tried to 4 what she was writing, but she went faster than I could understand, writing down what seemed to be foreign symbols.My eyes fixed on the chicken scratch I had tried.Impossible to understand.Why me? Why couldn’t I work out the problem that seemed easy to all other kids? These questions filled my head.As the other girl finished and danced back to her seat, I wrote some random(胡乱的) numbers on the board, and 5 back to mine.The teacher read over our work.“Now, class, Susie did this problem absolutely correctly.”“As for Tara,” the teacher said jokingly,“I don’t even know what she did.”The class burst into laughs, and I felt my face turn red as I tried to sink as low as possible into my seat, hoping to prevent them from 6 me at all.But this memory is one I remember, surprisingly, in a positive way.It made me 7 , and gave me persistence.When I get a poor grade in school, or am put down by somebody, I think of that moment and every single one of those 8 that I asked myself.The terrible ache in my stomach comes back and gives me the motivation to answer all of those whys and try hard until perfection, or as close as I can get.( )1.A.proper B.incorrect C.special D.unimportant( )2.A.lifted B.dropped C.repaired D.knocked( )3.A.tiredness B.excitement C.shyness D.fear( )4.A.accept B.explain C.copy D.describe( )5.A.rushed B.looked C.talked D.thought( )6.A.changing B.inviting C.seeing D.teaching( )7.A.healthier B.stronger C.cleverer D.happier( )8.A.ways B.words C.hows D.whysⅡ. 阅读理解Schools Take the Fun Out of Suspension(停课)Suspension just isn’t what it used to be. Once, school officials could be sure that if they kicked a misbehaving student out of school, the student’s angry and embarrassed parents would be sure to punish their child.But these days, too many parents are working, while others don’t really care. For some students, suspension has become another holiday, all the sweeter because everyone else is in class.Now, several school leaders in Ventura County are having second thoughts about suspension. They are changing rules and using a new approach when it comes to punishment—instead of sending students home, they are keeping more troublemakers at school. Students who break school rules are still suspended, but must stay on school grounds, where they catch up on homework, write personal goals, or clean up the school.The school officials are also concerned about teens falling behind in s chool. “We want to keep students in school because that’s our business,” said the school leader Bob La Bella. He said at-school suspension prevents the “snowball effect”, when a student who gets in trouble in one class is sent home for a few days and ends up behind in all six classes.In several schools, teachers or school staff watch over suspended students. Some schools call their at-school suspension classes “opportunity rooms”. Educators say these places are where students have the opportunity to turn t heir lives around. “Behavior is an outward sign of an inner problem in school,” said the school leader Chuck Weis. “Suspension can give us an opportunity to work on the real problem.”Middle school students from Ventura are sent to a special “suspension school” held on Fridays at Ventura College. They spend from 8 in the morning to 2 in the afternoon there, involved in activities aimed at controlling their anger, raising their self-confidence, and improving their attitude toward school. In return, the suspe nsion doesn’t show up on their school record.At 8:15 a.m. on a recent Friday, teacher Peter Shedlosky asked the students to introduce themselves: their names, grades, schools, and reasons for suspension. A few kids’ voices cracked as they took their turns reciting their misbehavior: “I got kicked out of class. I pushed this guy. I beat up some kid. I got into a fight.”Ventura educators say having the suspension school in a college also encourages the students to improve their behavior and grades. During the day, they take a tour of the college campus, look through the college material, and talk about careers.9.What is special about suspension in Ventura County? ( )A.It gives parents time to work on real problems.B.It shows up on the suspended kids’ sch ool record.C.It gets parents involved in the lives of their suspended kids.D.It offers a chance for suspended kids to improve themselves.10.Serving suspension in a college . ( )A.helps suspended students change attitude toward their parentsB.motivates suspended students to reflect on and control behaviorC.gives suspended students the opportunity to take college coursesD.includes suspended students doing fun activities to improve grades11.What is the passage mainly about? ( )A.School lea ders aren’t taking suspension seriously.B.Schools are making suspension more effective.C.Students are having too much fun at school.D.Suspensions should have come to an end.12.What does the writer probably think of suspension at school? ( )A.Acceptable.B.Doubtful.C.Careful.D.Harmful.Ⅲ. 回答问题I’m David and I’ve been living in the United States for over ten years, and I now say thank you about 50 times a day. Often I do it without thinking. I say thank you to the cashier at the coffee shop. I say thank you to my wife and my 5-year-old daughter several times a day for different things. When I first moved to the United States, I didn’t know I was supposed to thank someone who took my money for something I bought at a store. I had no idea I was supposed to thank people when they asked how I was doing.I grew up in the northern Indian city of Lucknow, in a culture in which saying thank you is not done lightly. I learned to say thank you in English when I was in elementary school. And when I thanked anyone, I said it in English, which was less embarrassing and more casual than doing soin Hindi. I saved my thanks for those who had done huge favors for me. And I didn’t thank my friends or classmates very often. When I did, they regarded the act as a playful way to practise English.Saying dhanyavaad, or thank you in Hindi, to someone without looking at him or her is just as good as not saying it at all. As a kid, I heard my father say dhanyavaad to people of his age, and he did it as seriously as possible, with his hands joined in front of his chest. He wasn’t just thanking someone for something, but asking for an opportunity to return the favor.Now, when I travel to India, I often upset people by saying thank you to them. On a recent trip home, I was invited to my uncle’s house for dinner. He’s been a fathe r figure to me, teaching me many things at every step of my life. That day, I made the mistake of telling him, in English, “Thank you for inviting me.” before leaving his house. He didn’t respond, but I saw he was unhappy.I couldn’t even apologize for tha nking him. The damage was done.Different countries and different people have different manners. We must find out their customs, so that they will not think us ill-mannered.13.How often does David say thank you now?14.Where did David grow up?15.Who did David save his thanks for?16.What is the third paragraph mainly about?17.Why was David’s uncle unhappy?【参考答案】Ⅰ.[主旨大意] 本文是一篇叙事文。

小卷速测(十一) 完形填空+阅读理解C+回答问题(限时:20分钟)Ⅰ. 完形填空I used to have little passion(激情) in my life.But what happened the other day changed my mind.It was then that I learned how 1 it is to have a passion in life.That day I went home in Mom’s car.When Mom 2 at a red light, someone on the side of the road caught my eyes. It was a man dressed in rags(破旧衣服).He was homeless.That didn’t interest me, because I had seen many like him before.Those people usually looked unhappy and hopeless.But this man was different in some ways. He was not sitting down with a sad expression.Instead, he had a 3 in his hand and was dancing happily to the music.The radio seemed to be the most precious (珍贵的) thing he had.“Mom, why does that man 4 a radio though he’s homeless?” I asked.“He bought it,” she replied.“But why doesn’t he use the money to buy food or clothes? He 5 for something that he didn’t need.”“Well, Sarah, sometimes food and clothes aren’t the most important.”That man must care so much about 6 so that he bought a radio instead of food or clothes.I soon realized that 7 is the key to life.Since then I have been always thinking of what is truly important in life.A home, a meal, clothes—these things are not 8 parts of the life.What we often forget is that we all need a joy, a light in a dark day.We all need a passion which gives a person the happiness they need to keep going.( )1.A.strange B.dangerous C.important D.difficult( )2.A.walked B.stopped C.stood D.exercised( )3.A.radio B.phone C.scarf D.hat( )4.A.have e C.care D.like( )5.A.asked B.waited C.paid D.looked( )6.A.stories B.music C.news nguages( )7.A.happiness B.friendship C.knowledge D.health( )8.A.only B.also C.all D.neverⅡ. 阅读理解FOMOEverybody knows how important it is for students to get a good night’s sleep every night. You aren’t able to do your best and keep up with all of your responsibilities at school unless you sleep well. Most experts agree that the best number of sleeping hours is eight, and this has been accepted as common sense for as long as I can remember. However, I was young once and I know that most of you get much less sleep than that—and in some cases it will be influencing your schoolwork.I read an interesting article in a teachers’ magazine recently. They did a study of 848 students in Wales. Worryingly, the results showed that teenagers are facing a new problem. They may go to bed and get up at proper times but a growing number of them are waking up in the middle of the night, not to use the bathroom or have something to eat but because of FOMO—fear of missing out, which brings worrying influence on their sleep and schoolwork.According to the article, schoolchildren are having problems because more and more of them wake up during the night to check social media. Afraid of missing a comment(评论) or an opportunity to take part in a conversation, teenagers are waking at all times of the night, going online and getting involved. All this when they should be sound asleep.Experts are worried and the report shows some facts from the study that I’d like to share with you:·23% of 12 to 15-year-olds wake up nearly every night to use social media.·One in three students are always tired.·Students who use social media during the night are more likely to be anxious(焦虑).Are you experiencing FOMO? If yes, I’d like to ask you to be responsible for your slee p when it comes to social media. Be brave! Switch off your devices(设备) at night. The world won’t end and your social media will be waiting to greet you in the morning! I give you my word that you won’t miss anything important just because of a good night’s sleep.9.We can learn from the passage that FOMO is . ( )A.an unreasonable need to go out all the timeB.a result of using social media in a wise wayC.a fear of missing communication on social mediaD.a study on the ways of teenagers using social media10.What did the study in Wales show? ( )A.Teenagers are tired because they often stay up late.B.More and more teenagers are tired of schoolwork.C.Half of the teenagers wake up nearly every night.ing social media at night may cause anxiety.11.What is the writer’s main purpose in writing this passage? ( )A.To explain the relationship between FOMO and sleep.B.To encourage teenagers to deal with FOMO properly.C.To describe why teenagers don’t get enough sleep.D.To show why FOMO happens a lot to teenagers.Ⅲ. 回答问题Building Your Business, Building Your PeopleWhat an exciting thing to do—Develope a successful business! I’mreminded every day of some important ideas for progress.Here are some ideasto keep in mind that can make a significant difference in a team:· Understand your peopleIf I want my team to go and grow with me, I need to find out what excites them.What do they need in their work environment to improve their mental well-being? What are their fears and concerns, and how can I help them manage these fears and concerns? What are their values and goals?· Help people build self-confidenceDuring my early years in management, I realized the great power of expectations.As I found, people largely lived up to my expectation of them.So I learned that if I want to build my business through my people, I have to build their own belief in their ability to achieve.This belief must be educated.If I want them to achieve more, I must help them build their trust in themselves first. · Develop people’s recognition(认可)Whenever I speak and give advice to people, they tell me they don’t get enough recognition.Sad, isn’t it? But how much recognition do they give to others? In fact, recognition could be developed by praising and appreciating each other in a team.Encourage everyone in your team to recognize achievements i n others.Teach your team to ask for the opinions of others if they’re not receiving recognition.· Encourage people to be creativeWe have created our life just the way we choose to have it, or at least the way we’ve settledfor it.Those who have been told they are creative will probably use their creativity bravely.Others who haven’t had their creativity encouraged will mostly believe they are uncreative.I suggest you encourage your people to be creative and brave in trying out new ideas.12.How many pieces of advice does the writer give to build your business?13.What do you need to do if you want your team to go and grow with you?14.Is it important to help people build self-confidence in your business?15.How did the writer d evelop his people’s recognition in the team?16.What can we learn from the writer according to his experience?【参考答案】Ⅰ.[主旨大意] 本文是一篇记叙文。

The Gates feel that with success comes responsibility.They want to use their money to 2 others.The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation spends billions of dollars.It gives money to 3 so they can go to school.The foundation also provides money for medical research and has given over $1 billion to improve the 4 of people in countries with a lot of poverty(贫穷).Another worry of Bill and Melinda Gates is hunger.In many parts of the world food is 5 .People often have none enough of tools and training to improve farming.The Gates Foundation is working in these areas.Its goal: “Increase opportunities for them to 6 hunger and poverty.”The Gates Foundation is private.A private foundation is set up by persons rather than companies.Most private foundations don’t have as much money as the Gates Foundation does.Many have less than $1 million. 7 , these foundations are able to do a lot of good.For being champions of global health worldwide, and for using their wealth to help people who need it most, the world owes Bill and Melinda Gates big thanks.The same goes for the many smaller private foundations across the world that 8 a helping hand to those who need it most.

The Vascellaros—Frank, Amelia, 14-year-old twins Frankie and Joe, and 17-year-old Sam—all said they did not really know they were spending so much time on their phones each day.“Honestly, I don’t feel like I’m on my phone a lot,” Amelia Vascellaro said. Amelia was on her phone far less often than Frank, according to the app. While Amelia spent about an hour per day on the phone, Frank spent closer to four hours on his phone—which came as a surprise to him. The children’s time varied but they often spent more than a couple of hours on the phone as well.Minneapolis-based Dr. Kirsten Lind Seal sees phone usage come up a lot among families. Lind Seal said many family members’ phone use has become problematic.“If we hear more than once, ‘Do you have to be on your phone right now? Can you please put your phone down? Did you hear what I said?’ it may be a sign that is negatively(消极地) influencing our family relationships and our daily lives,” she said.Lind Seal said actually paying attention to how much time one spends on the phone is a good first step in deciding when to put it down.She asks parents to encourage more face-to-face communication for teens and young adults as they continue developing their social and emotional skills. “What we find is that we are really losing out on empathy—the abil ity to understand other people’s feelings and problems—when we spend a lot of time on our smartphones to communicate with other people,” she said.9.Why did Lind Seal mention the three questions in Paragraph 5? ( )A.To encourage people to live a simple life.B.To ask people if they use phones too much.C.To show the importance of close relationships.D.To explain the signs of problematic phone use.10.How did Lind Seal probably think of the app? ( )A.She worried about it.B.She supported it.C.She felt it was a waste of time.D.She thought it needed improvements.11.What does the passage mainly talk about? ( )A.Too much use of smartphones.B.The influence of apps on teens.C.Children’s safety on the Internet.D.Problems among family members.Ⅲ. 回答问题English is an important global language, but that doesn’t mean it’s easy to learn. Many experts have tried to make English easier for students to learn but they weren’t always successful.In 1930, Professor CK Ogden of Cambridge University invented Basic English. It had only 850 words(and just eighteen verbs) and Ogden said most people could learn it in just thirty hours. The problem was that people who learned Basic English could write and say simple messages, but they couldn’t understand the answers in “real” English! It was also impossible to explaina word if it wasn’t in the Basic English word list. For example, if you wanted a watermelon, you asked for “a large green fruit with the form of an egg, which has a sweet red inside and a good taste”!R.E. Zachrisson, a university professor in Sweden, decided that the biggest problem for learners of English was spelling, so he invented a language called Anglic. Anglic was similar to English, but with much simpler spelling. “Father” became “faadher”, “new” became “nue” and “years” became “yeerz”. Unfortun ately for some students of English, Anglic never became popular.Even easier is the language which ships’ captains use: it’s called “Seaspeak”. Seaspeak uses a few simple phrases for every possible situation. In Seaspeak, for example, you don’t say, “I’m sorry. What did you say?” or “I didn’t understand. Can you repeat that?” It’s just “Say again.” No more grammar!In the age of international communication through the Internet, a new form of English might appear. A large number of the world’s e-mails ar e in English and include examples of “NetLingo” like OIC (Oh, I see) and TTYL (Talk to you later). In another fifty years, English might not exist, we will probably all speak fluent Internetish!12.Who have tried to make English easier for students to learn?13.When did Basic English invent?14.Why did R.E. Zachrisson invent Anglic?15.In Seaspeak, how do people say “I didn’t understand. Can you repeat that?”?16.What is the passage mainly about?【参考答案】Ⅰ.[主旨大意] 本文主要介绍了比尔·盖茨夫妇和世界上其他一些慈善基金会在帮助贫困地区孩子受教育、解决饥饿和人类健康问题等方面所进行的慈善活动。

小卷速测(一) 完形填空+阅读理解C+回答问题(限时:20分钟)Ⅰ. 完形填空No one is born a winner. People make themselves into winners by their own efforts.I learned this lesson from an experience many years ago. I took the head 1 job at a school in Baxley, Georgia. It was a small school with a weak football program.It was a tradition for the school’s old team to play against the new team at the end o f spring practice. The old team had no coach, and they didn’t even 2 to prepare for the game. Being the coach of the new team, I was 3 because I knew we were going to win, but to my disappointment we were defeated(打败). I couldn’t believe I had got into such a situation. Thinking hard about it, I came to realize that my team might not be the number one team in Georgia, but they were depending on me. I had to 4 my attitude about their ability and potential(潜能).I started doing anything I could to help them build a little pride. Most important, I began to treat them like 5 . That summer, when the other teams enjoyed their vacations, we met every day and practiced passing and kicking the football.Six months after being defeated on the spring practice field, we won our first game and our second, and continued to improve. Finally, we 6 the number one team in the state. I felt that it would be a victory for us even if we lost the game. But that wasn’t what happened. My boys beat the best team in Georgia, giving me one of the greatest thrills(兴奋, 激动) of my life!From the 7 I learnt a lot about how the attitude of the leader can affect the members of a team. Instead of seeing my boys as losers, I pushed and encouraged them. I helped them to see themselves 8 , and they built themselves into winners.Winners are made, not born.( )1.A.running B.driving C.coaching D.swimming( )2.A.practice B.make C.learn D.forget( )3.A.sorry B.worried C.brave D.excited( )4.A.take B.change C.insist D.catch( )5.A.winners B.losers C.teachers D.students( )6.A.built B.faced C.trained D.thanked( )7.A.show B.visit C.experience D.experiment( )8.A.luckily B.easily C.carefully D.differentlyⅡ. 阅读理解Green Roofs(屋顶)Why would anyone want to plant a garden on a roof? People are finding out that it is good for the environment and good for them.Cities can be as much as four to ten degrees warmer than the countryside. Green rooftops can help cool the air in cities. One green roof will not do much to change the temperature of a city. However, when more buildings begin to convert their rooftops to green spaces, it can make a real difference. Buildings that are cooler also use air conditioning less often. This reduces the amount of energy a building uses.Cities are usually more polluted than other areas. The plants on the rooftops can even help clean the air. Gardens in the city can also provide a place for birds and bugs to live.One unusual rooftop garden is on th e rooftop of Children’s Hospital in Missouri. The garden covers an area of 7,500 square feet. It is a place for the children and parents to relax and be close to nature without leaving the hospital. The garden has flowers, fountains(喷泉), and even a goldfish pond.Another interesting garden is on the rooftop of the Royal York Hotel in Canada. The hotel’s cooks can pick herbs(草本植物) they use fresh from the roof. Some other hotels and restaurants have rooftop gardens to grow plants. They just need gardeners to care for them. Rooftop gardens can dry out quickly in the summer sun, and vegetables need frequent watering.Not all buildings have green rooftops. For one thing, green rooftops can be more expensive than traditional rooftops. Also, a roof needs to be flat and strong enough to support the weight of the garden.In the past, not many people knew about rooftop gardens and how good they could be for the environment. But it is changing. You may want to keep your eyes on the skies when you walk in the streets in your town or city. You never know when you might catch a look of a secret garden many feet above the ground.9.The word “convert” in Paragraph 2 probably means “”. ( )A.connectB.moveC.changeD.take10.The sixth paragraph is mainly about . ( )A.why it is difficult to have green rooftopsB.when all buildings can have green rooftopsC.what buildings need to have green rooftopsD.how to make all buildings have green rooftops11.What can we learn from the passage? ( )A.Cooks of hotels and restaurants care for plants in rooftop gardens.B.Rooftop gardens in hospitals should be larger and more beautiful.C.Rooftop gardens help people save a lot of money.D.More and more people begin to know rooftop gardens.Ⅲ.回答问题Can you imagine a world without a writing system for your language? It may be hard to picture it now, but a man named Sequoyah lived in such a world.Sequoyah was a member of a native American tribe, the Cherokee.Cherokee people speak their own language, but for hundreds of years they did not have a system of writing.Without a writing system, the Cherokee had no newspapers or books before 1809.Sequoyah was probably born around the year 1770 and lived with his mother in a small village in the mountains of Tennessee.When he grew up, he became a blacksmith.When he was doing business with those“English-speaking people”, he noticed that they used paper with marks to record their thoughts and ideas.Sequoyah called these pieces of paper with marks “talking leaves”.He began to wonder why people who spoke Cherokee did not have a way to write down their words.In 1809, Sequoyah decided to give the Cherokee their own “talking leaves”.At first, he tried to make a different symbol for every word in the Cherokee language.But in that case, there would be so many symbols and too hard for people to remember, so he decided to make a picture for each syllable(音节).After much hard work, Sequoyah invented 85 symbols.In order to see whether it would work, he helped his six-year-old daughter Ayoka learn each symbol and found she could learn to read and write very quickly.Sequoyah’s invention was a success!Before long, Sequoyah’s writing system had spread far and wide.Cherokee people living in all different parts of the country learned to read a nd write.In 1825, Sequoyah’s system was made the official written language for Cherokee people.To this day, Cherokee speakers still use Sequoyah’s writing system.In some parts of the United States, you can see street signs and billboards written in both English and Cherokee.Sequoyah will always be remembered for his important contribution toCherokee people.12.Did the Cherokee have newspapers before 1809?13.What did Sequoyah call the pieces of paper with marks?14.How many symbols did Sequoyah invent in the Cherokee language?15.When was Sequoyah’s system made the official written language?16.Why will Sequoyah always be remembered?【参考答案】Ⅰ.1.C 2.A 3.D 4.B 5.A 6.B 7.C 8.DⅡ.9.C10.A 11.DⅢ.[主旨大意] 本文是一篇说明文,文中主要介绍了塞阔雅(Sequoyah)对切罗基语的发展所作出的巨大贡献。

He apologized for 4 us since we had just traded for him.Lyle was always an emotional person.This is one of the reasons he was a good player.He 5 all that emotional energy with him, ready to fire out at the snap of the ball(开球).Now he was in front of me, almost crying.I thought for a moment, realizing we had to keep that 6 going.Then I went through my reasons why he should not retire.At the end of our talk, I said,“You go out and play your very best, and let us 7 if you still have it.Personally, I think you do.”In January 1984.Tampa Bay Stadium.Super Bowl XVIII.With less than two minutes remaining, we were leading 38-9.We were the world champions of professional football.I saw Lyle, crying like a baby.I had to turn away quickly,or I would have joined him in 8 .I remembered that morning in my office, and what Lyle, and what the Raiders, had achieved since he came to us.If Lyle hadn’t given his career another shot, he wouldn’t have had this victory.Maybe the Raiders wouldn’t have had this victory.During that mome nt, I felt one of the greatest satisfactions of my coaching career.( )1.A.deal B.plan C.argument D.mistake( )2.A.away B.over C.well D.fast( )3.A.low B.cool C.clear D.heavy( )4.A.pushing B.refusing C.cheating D.disappointing( )5.A.faced B.carried C.received D.imagined( )6.A.ball B.fire C.time D.talk( )7.A.guess B.wonder C.decide D.predict( )8.A.cheers B.pain C.peace D.tearsⅡ. 阅读理解Students in western Ohio(俄亥俄州) have to say “bye-bye” to snowy days. Snow may fall, but students won’t be able to spend the days sledding(滑雪橇). Classes will continue—online. Officials say that holding electronic workdays (e-days) will help students keep up with their studies. It will also prevent requiring students to make up schooldays later in June.Which would you prefer:spending a cold day on a computer, or sitting in school in June when you should be on vacation? Jordan Dewar, a student reporter, holds the opinion that having online work on a snowy day is the better choice, “You would be working on a day that you already planned on having schoolwork.”“Having extra days of school in summer can interfere with(妨碍) families’ vacation plans. Besides, what if your school does not have air conditioning? Imagine sweating through seven hours at school on a hot June day when you could have been relaxing by a pool with your family. Doesn’t an e-day sound better than that?” Jordan Dewar said.For some students, it would be easier to concentrate(专注) on e-days than on makeup days. “You can do a little work online, go play, and then come back later,” says Rachel Meyers, 12. “But on June days you would just have to sit there for seven hours, thinking about how you could be outside, so you lose focus.”There are some students arguing that it’s not fair to ditch snowy days, however. They say that snowy days give them a much-needed break. They also note that missing a day here and there is not enough to put them behind. Most students in Silver Valley School think one problem of e-days is that sometimes siblings(兄弟姐妹们) have to share computers at home. In addition, it punishes the students who don’t have computers at home. When school starts again after e-days, these students will be left behind and have to work double-time to catch up.“School budget cuts(预算削减) across the country are expected to continue into the next school year,” the American Association of School Administrators (AASA) Website states. “The school wo uldn’t be able to afford both online classes and taking care of the school,” Austin Krewson, an eighth grader, says.Moreover, electricity is likely to be cut off during snowstorms. If kids don’t have power athome, the money and the time in running the new program would be wasted.9.What can we learn from Paragraph 1? ( )A.Officials suggest students should have more schooldays in June.B.Officials believe snowy days put students behind in their studies.C.Students have to end snowy days earlier than planned.D.Students won’t have sledding classes at school.10.The student reporter, Jordan Dewar, believes that . ( )A.siblings can help each other with their studies on e-daysB.students can learn better on e-days than on makeup daysC.having e-days in winter will save the cost of air conditioningD.students should study online when it snows heavily on weekdays11.What does the word “ditch” in Paragraph 5 probably mean?( )A.Give up.B.Put off.C.Carry out.D.Pay for.12.The writer mentions the statement on the AASA Website to . ( )A.explain the reason to hold the e-day programB.show the difficulty of running the e-day programC.suggest government should spend more money on educationD.stress why some students can’t afford computers for online classesⅢ. 回答问题Theatre began with the ancient Greeks.They used to have shows called “plays”, which tell a story by people acting out what happened in it.They had big theatres which were outside, and you could have up to 17,000 people come and watch it.These outside theatres were round in shape, with stone seats going down to the centre, where they had the “stage”.The Romans also built theatres, and there are several you can visit in England, Greece, Italy and Turkey.Greek used to have a person to explain the story to the people who were watching, and the actors used to wear pictures on their faces, some with happy faces, some sad.There were not any theatres in Europe in the Middle Ages, but groups of actors (or players, as they used to be called) travelled around the country putting on shows and singing songs in the towns and in large private houses.Many large houses from this time have a special area in it where the players would do their shows.In England between 1558 and 1603, the ruler was Queen Elizabeth I.During this time, theatres would be built outside the city walls because some people thought they were not safe places to be and that people caused troubles there.They were usually round, and people would stand up to see the show.Rich people had seats to sit on.People used to eat and drink during the show.They used to shout out to the actors and sometimes throw food at them.In Elizabethan times, a theatre group had 12 men and one writer in it. Women were not allowed to be in the show, so young boys used to wear dresses and play the female roles.Theatre in London today is very popular, even if tickets are very expensive.Many American stars want to perform in London, and in the last few years Kevin Spacey, Nicole Kidman and Kathleen Turner have all acted in plays in London’s theatres.13.Who began theatre?14.Where did actors put on shows in the Middle Ages in Europe?15.Why were theatres built outside the city walls in Elizabethan times?16.How many people did a theatre group have in Elizabethan times?17.What is the passage mainly about?【参考答案】Ⅰ.[主旨大意] 本文描写了一名转会球员刚到新环境后状态不佳,失去了斗志,在教练的支持与鼓励下最终找回信心与斗志的故事。

So I needyou to do the axel(前外一周半跳).”“Coach,” I couldn’t even think of words, “I only 2 it for the first time three weeks ago!”“I know, but you’re the only one besides Danielle who can do it.”At that moment, the weight of the world was on my shoulders.The axel is a high point jump, and it can make or break a team’s 3 .I couldn’t be the one to stop us from going to states.But I would be, I knew it.My teammates were all very 4 .They all came up, smiled and told me I would do great.But that only made me more nervous.It was my turn.Ready or not, I had to go.I built up some speed and jumped, hoping I would land 5 .But I didn’t.I fell on the ice, hard.I could feel the blood rushing to my cheeks.“Allison, take the reskate,” the coach came to me.Once, and only once in a competition, a team can have one skater skate again.It was still early, and someone else would need the chance later.I couldn’t use it, since I might fall again and 6 it.“I can’t, Coach!”“Allison, you can do it.Calm down, jump high, and land it.Go!”So I went.I raised an arm towards the judges, letting them know I was going to take the reskate.The audience got into complete 7 .It seemed that everybody was holding their breath.I tried to focus.I took off and rotated(旋转) my body as much as possible in the air.Then I came down, landing on my feet.I did it!

( )A.he looks up to his brotherB.he wants to influence his brotherC.his brother is strict with himD.his brother plays video games well10.Birg Rabe finds having elder siblings as role models helps younger ones .( )A.make progress in their school achievementB.become more successful when they grow upC.get better marks than their brothers and sistersD.learn more important social skills than their friends11.The underlined word “sound” in Paragraph 5 probably means “”.( )A.specialstingC.seriousD.healthy12.Which of the following would be the best title for the passage? ( )A.The New Hope that Siblings GiveB.The Great Benefits that Siblings BringC.The Necessary Support that Siblings OfferD.The Enjoyable Experiences that Siblings ShareⅢ. 回答问题Mom’s Recipe for LifeI have a lot of Mom’s recipes in a blue box where all my special ones were put, like the pum pkin pie she made during my growing up years.Even so,the recipe I treasure most is not on any index card,nor did she send it to me in a letter.Instead, she lived this recipe all of her life.My mother grew up in a small coal mining town in southwest Iowa.My grandfather once told me that she knew no stranger; she considered everyone in that community her friend.That attitude continued wherever she lived for the rest of her life.As a teen,I was embarrassed(尴尬的)every time my mother talked to strangers and offered a smile to everyone in the store or on the city bus.Almost all of them responded(回应) with a bright smile of their own.Some spoke, and others nodded their heads at this elderly woman who brought a little light into their day.What really sold me on Mo m’s approach to life was her experience on the senior bus.The weeks I could not be there,she used this low-cost transportation to the grocery store.After her first trip, I asked her how it went.“Ha!” she said,“I got on that bus and what did I see? Thirtee n little old ladies and one old man,and not one word was spoken.”I wondered how long it would be until the silence on that bus would change.On my next visit, Mom mentioned the 13 little old ladies on the bus and something one of them had told her.“Oh, are you talking with them now?” I asked.“Of course,”she said.“One day I climbed up the steps of the bus and before I looked for a seat,I gave them a big smile and I said, ‘Isn’t it a wonderful day?’ I noticed a few shy smiles.”Mom didn’t give up.She greete d them all each time she got on the bus and before long, the whole group was laughing and talking to one another.The bus became more than just transportation.When we went to the various stores,I watched as she smiled and chatted with perfect strangers.Som e of them looked like the poorest person you’d ever met,but once Mom smiled at them and started a conversation,most responded favorably.My mother didn’t embarrass me any longer.I found myself admiring her.She’s been gone for ten years but I’ve carried on her recipe for life.It was me who had done the smiling first and all those people had responded.My mother didn’t lecture but taught me by example.She’d given me a recipe for life.13.Where did the writer’s mom grow up?14.Did the people talk on the bus on Mom’s first trip?15.What did Mom do to make the bus more than transportation?16.How did the writer feel about Mom in the end?17.What is Mom’s recipe for life?【参考答案】Ⅰ.[主旨大意] 本文是一篇叙事文。

One day,under the leadof their king, the doves flew away to look for food. The smallest dove found some rice under a tree. So all the doves came down and began to eat.Suddenly a net fell over them and soon they were all in it. Then a man came. The doves tried to get out of the net, but they couldn't. The oldest dove had an idea. He advised all the doves to fly up together carrying the net with them. He said if they worked together, they would be successful.The other doves did so and together they flew off carrying the net with them. The man was shocked. He tried to follow them, but they were flying high. The doves then flew to a hill because there lived a mouse and they thought he could help them. He was a good friend of the dove king.When they arrived, the dove king told the mouse what had happened and asked him to set them free. The mouse said that he would set the dove king free first. But the king asked him to free his subjects(臣民) first and he was the last one to come out.The doves all thanked the mouse and flew away together. They smiled and felt closer to each other.11.Where did the doves find food? ( )A.On a tree.B.Under a tree.C.In a net.D.By a lake.12.The doves flew to the hill to .

( )A.the smallest doveB.the oldest doveC.the dove kingD.the mousePassage 2Many everyday American expressions are based on colors.Red is a hot color. Americans often use it to express heat. When they are red-hot, they are very angry about something. Fast loud music is popular with many people. They may say such music is red-hot.Pink is a lighter kind of red. People sometimes say they are in the pink when they are in good health. The expression was first used in America at the beginning of the 20th century. It probably comes from the fact that many babies are born with a nice pink color that shows that they are in good health.Blue is a cool color. The blues music in the United States is the opposite of red-hot music. Blues is slow and sad. Someone who is blue is very sad.The color green is natural for trees and grass. But it is an unnatural color for people. A person who has a sick feeling in the stomach may say he feels a little green. A passenger on a boat who is feeling very sick from high waves may look very green. Sometimes a person may be upset because he does not have something as nice as a friend has, like a fast new car. That person may say he is green with envy. Some people are green with envy because a friend has more dollars or greenbacks. Dollars are called greenbacks because that is the color of the back of the paper money.The color black is used often in expressions.

( )A.Meaning of different colors.B.Differences between different colors.C.Beginning of some American expressions.D.Stories of some American expressions.Ⅲ.回答问题We can't remember clearly when we started to take our mobiles to a dinner table. This happens a lot, especially when we eat out. Once a dish comes, instead of lifting our chopsticks, we take out our mobiles and click. Later, we post the photos onto Weibo or WeChat, waiting to be“liked”. Then we check our mobiles from time to time during the meal, to see w hether we get “liked” or not. We just cannot leave our mobiles for only a meal.Does that sound familiar to you? Do you do that often? If not, how do you feel when others do that when having dinner with you?A recent study suggests that what we are used to doing is not so good. Spending time taking photos of food makes the food less pleasant. To test this, some researchers did an experiment. Some people were asked to take photos before they could enjoy food. As a result, it showed that the more photos they took, the less delicious the food seemed to them. So, why not stop taking photos and just enjoy the food in front of you?Besides the scientific result, there are also some other bad influences of taking photos of food before meals. After posting the photos onto the Internet, one will not be able to control himself and check his mobile many times. “Does everyone like my photos? I hope a lot of people like them!” It seems that your mobile secretly calls your name all the time, even when you are with real people.So, next time you go out to have dinner with your family or friends, how about not taking photos of food?20.Why do we often take photos once a dish comes?(不超过15个词)21.What did the experiment show according to the passage?(不超过15个词)22.What does the writer want to tell us?(不超过20个词)【参考答案】Ⅰ.1—5 ABCAD 6—10 CBDBDⅡ.Passage 111—14 BDACPassage 2 15—19 CBDDAⅢ.20.Because we post the photos onto Weibo or WeChat, waiting to be “liked”.21.The more photos we took, the less delicious the food seemed to us.22.Don't take photos of food while having dinner with your family or friends at restaurants.。

小卷速测<九> 完形填空+阅读理解C+回答问题<限时:20分钟>Ⅰ. 完形填空The Train StoryI was traveling by train one morning.Quietly reading, I found myself suddenly listening to the announcements<通知>.When the trainman makes an announcement, it’s often quite boring.But this one was 1 .As I looked up from my paper, I 2 others also listening.Not only that, they smiled!Why was so much attention being paid to this message?As best I can remember, the trainman said,"Good morning, ladies, gentlemen and 3 .It’s 7:35 a.m., and you’ll be glad to know that we are right on time.What a lovely morning it is in Sydney today.The sun is shining, the temperature is about 21 degrees, birds are singing, and all’s right with the world.Thanks for 4 my train and I hope to see you again.Have a great day!"Wow! Have you ever heard an announcement like that? I certainly haven’t.As well as getting everyone smiling, there were quite a few people who started talking to one another about how good the message had made everyone feel.The moment I got off the train, I ran into the young trainman and started to 5 him.He seemed a bit 6 at first.Continuously I said,"Well, I just wanted to thank you for your brilliant message on the way.It got everyone’s attention and smile.Thank you so much for giving us such a good 7 to the day."That day I got two messages.The first is that people’s happiness at work shows in wha t they do and say.Also, the story tells me what you can get from thanking people for something they’ve done, 8 when it’s not expected.Can you imagine the conversation that trainman would have when he got home,"Guess what happened to me today—a passenger thanked me!"< >1.A.different B.famous C.bad D.easy< >2.A.heard B.noticed C.got D.kept< >3.A.guides B.teachers C.parents D.children< >4.A.buying B.taking C.visiting D.passing< >5.A.thank B.miss C.trust D.meet< >6.A.mad B.tired C.surprised D.proud< >7.A.lesson B.idea C.trade D.start< >8.A.finally B.properly C.especially D.clearlyⅡ. 阅读理解Chinese are very generous<慷慨的,大方的> when it comes to educating their children. Not caring about the money, parents often send their children to the best schools or even abroad to England, the United States or Australia. They also want their children to take extra-course<额外的课程> activities where they will either learn music or dance, or other classes that will give them a head start in life. The Chinese believe that the more expensive an education is, the better it is. So parents will spend an unreasonable amount of money on education. Even poor couples will buy a computer for their son or daughter.However, what most parents fail to see is that the best early education they can give their children is usually very cheap.Parents can see that their children’s skills are different, maybe good in some areas, but poor in others. Most parents fail to realize that toda y’s children are in need of self-respect and self-confidence.The problem is that parents are only educating their children on how to take tests and how to study well, but parents are not teaching them the most important skills they need to be confident, happy and clever.Parents can achieve this by teaching practical skills like cooking, sewing and doing other housework.Teaching a child to cook will improve many of the skills that he will need later in life. Cooking requires patience and time. It is an enjoyable but difficult experience. A good cook always tries to improve his cooking, so he will learn to work hard and gradually finish his job successfully. His result, a well-cooked dinner, will give him much satisfaction and a lot of self-confidence.Some old machines, such as a broken radio or TV set that you give your child to play with will make him curious<好奇的> and have interest. He will spend hours looking at them, trying to fix them; your child might become an engineer when he grows up. These activities are not only teaching a child to read a book, but rather to think, to use his mind. And that is more important.9.What can we learn from the first paragraph? < >A.Parents care about their money when educating their children.B.Parents don’t ofte n send their children to the best schools.C.Parents seldom want their children to take extra-course activities.D.Parents spend much money on the education without thinking.10.Most Chinese parents don’t realize . < >A.how much the best education is worthB.when children should be educatedC.what children really need in later lifeD.why school tests don’t satisfy children11.The writer’s attitude<态度> to children’s education is that . < >A.the cheaper an education is, the better it isB.children today should learn different skillsC.practical skills are helpful to children’s growthD.school education can’t meet parents’ expectationsⅢ. 回答问题A True Forest of WonderSaihanba National Forest Park is lying in Chengde, Hebei.In Mongolian, Saihanba means"beautiful highland".It is often called"theGreen Lung of North China".On Dec. 5, 2017, the United Nations’ highestenvironmental honor, the Champions of the Earth Award was given to China’sSaihanba Afforestation Community<塞罕坝林场建设者>.During the Qing Dynasty, it was a royal hunting<打猎> ground and the emperors hunted there almost every year.In 1863, because of a shortage of funds, the Qing Government allowed farmers to use the land here.In the following years, logging and wildfires gradually destroyed the forest and grassland.And forests and wetlands were beginning to disappear.After the Qing Dynasty failed, Saihanba turned into a wasteland.In the 1960s, Chinese people started to recreate a national forest in Saihanba.In 1961, a group of six scientists traveled through Saihanba and studied the possibility of growing trees there.They finally found one tree standing alone in the vast land, which greatly encouraged them.If one tree could survive there, so could millions of others.They believed they could green the barren desert and turn it into an oasis<绿洲>.Three generations of forest guards have overcome extreme living conditions while protecting the landscape.The weather, in particular, can be intense as the highest temperature in the areais around 33 degrees Celsius, while the lowest is around—43 degrees Celsius, and some areas are covered in snow for seven months a year, but others are affected by strong winds and sandstorms.However, through great efforts, it took the forest guards over 55 years to turn the desert into a green land.Chinese people have created a true wonder in Saihanba over the past half-century.In May 1993, it was designated as a "National Forest Park".In 2000, it has been categorized as a 5A level tourist site by the China National Tourism Administration.In May 2007, the park was rated as a "National Nature Reserves" by the State Council of China.Today, Saihanba is known as the"Emerald of North China".It is very important for Beijing’s water and air quality.It is also a natu ral shield<屏障> that can block sandstorms.12.Where is Saihanba National Forest Park?13.When did Chinese people start to recreate a national forest in Saihanba?14.How long did it take the forest guards to turn the desert into a green land?15.What is the third paragraph mainly about?16.Why is Saihanba important?[参考答案]Ⅰ.[主旨大意] 本文是一篇记叙文,描写了作者与以往不同的一次搭乘火车的旅行。

Meanwhile,7 on Nana ' s worktable.' ll get it,” she encouraged him.Ⅱ. Ⅰ. 完形填空Since the first person walked on the moon in 1969, technology has greatly helped space exploration. In recent years scientists have built a special robot to accompany astronauts on space missions( 任务 ). Because this robot looks and moves like a person, a scientist calls it a humanoid robot. The latest model of the humanoid robot is known as R2, short for Robonaut 2.R2 was first launched into space on February 24, 2011. It was built by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration(NASA) and the car producer General Motors(GM).R2 weighs 330 pounds and costs $2.5 million to build. It has arms and a head — filled with vision equipment — but no legs. Its “brain ”, or computer, is in its stomach. R2's arms can hold 20 pounds. Each bendable finger has 5 pounds of grasping force. R2' s hands are also skillful. Since its hands are shaped like human hands, R2 can use human tools to complete tasks traditionally performed byastronauts. “ Astronauts absolutely have their day packed from the minute they wake up until t管). R2 can be assigned a task and then checked on periodically. If R2 does not complete a task correctly, astronauts will be able to make minor adjustments to adapt( so that the task gets done right.R2 is still in the design stage of development, which means that scientists are frequentlytesting it and looking for ways to improve it. Right now, humanoid robots do not have the protective equipment needed to work outside the space station. As technology advances, humanoid robots will be able to help astronauts with dangerous tasks as well as routine ones.In the future, humanoi d robots will be astronauts ' eyes in space, going to places considered to difficult or unsafe for astronauts to explore. Some of them will be mounted on wheels to explore the surface of planets or asteroids(小行星 ). The robots will be able to send back videos and help astronautsgather information about the atmospheres of these places.One outcome of using these humanoid robots will be a greater understanding of the interaction between humans and robots. NASA engineers believe that when humans and robots combine forces andwork together, the results will be better than what either could achieve alone. John Olson, a directorheygo to bed. If Robonaut can provide just an hour 's worth of relief to the astronauts doing somethingthey don ' t want to do, that would make it worth it rightthere,” says Nic Radford, the deputyproject manager of R2.One advantage of working with R2will be that it cant complain about its work! Astronauts will also appreciate the fact that the robot can performits duties without constant supervision( 监适应 ) the robot 's behaviorat NASA headquarters in Washington, D.C., says that the project will allow us to go farther and achieve more than we can probably even imagine today. 9. According to the passage, we know that R2 . ( ) A. has skillful arms and legs B. looks and moves like a person C. hasn 't been launched yet D. provides just one hour 's relief10.We can learn from the passage that . ( )A. R2 can only perform its duties with constant supervisionB. R2 is designed to only help astronauts deal with routine tasksC. R2 will be able to work outside the space station in the futureD. R2 has already taken the place of the astronauts ' eyes inspace11. J ohn Olson believes that . ( )A. humanoid robots will be better at understanding humansB. astronauts will go farther in space than humanoid robotsC. humans will achieve more goals with the help of humanoid robotsD. robots will gather information about the atmospheres ofthe earth Ⅲ. 回答问题A Rose unlike Any OtherYou may think of museums as dusty collections of old objects, but modernmuseums are different. They are landmarks and showcases of local culture, offering visitors insight( 洞察力 ) into the past.The National Museum of Qatar, which opened on March28, 2019, is the latest example.The building 's interlocking structure of steel, glass and fiber concrete makes people thinkof the petals( 花瓣) of a desert rose. These “roses ” are actually crystallized( 结晶的 ) sand, found just under the desert 's surface. “It 's surprisingly complex and poetic, ” the designer Nouvel told UK-based design magazineDezeen .This pioneering design also makes the building energy-efficient. They form a sunscreen andThe National Museumof Qatar, whichopened on March 28, looks like acast（投射）protective shadows when the sun hits the building from east or west. “I want to builda structure that keeps in line with the condition of the place, to ensure that it offers maximum（最大化的）protection from the sun and save energy, ” Nouvel said.Apart from its unique shape, the museum also includes Qatar 's tradition of both nomads（牧民）and fishermen. It 's committed to preserving and showing the wooden dhows（阿拉伯三角帆船）that were once Doha 's lifeblood. These boats enabled fishing, trading and thecollection of precious pearls. And visitors can see over 1.5 million of them on the hand-embroidered Pearl Carpet of Baroda, the most extravagant（奢侈的） carpet ever, in the museum.The museuma lso seeks to redefine（重新定义） the role of cultural institutions. It 's hoped that visitors will not only observe the exhibitions but also immerse（沉浸） themselves in Qatar 's history. For this purpose, it features a multilayered, 360-degree environment. For example, on the path to the gallery of Life in Qatar , viewers see open markets, camels carrying goods, and wealthy pearltraders drinking tea and doing business.“It creates a dialogue between the past and future, ”according to a museum press release. “The scheme will givea voice to Qatar 's heritage while celebrating its future. ”12. W hen did the National Museum of Qatar open?13. W hat does the museum look like?14. D oes the design make the building energy-efficient?15. A part from its unique shape, what other features does the museum have?16. W hat does the writer think of modern museums?【参考答案】Ⅰ.[ 主旨大意] 本文是一篇记叙文, 主要讲述作者在祖母家做陶瓷的经历。

小卷速测(四) 完形填空+阅读理解D+回答问题(限时:20分钟)Ⅰ. 完形填空Comfort ZoneI would never forget what I learned from the day when I left my juniorhigh school. On the last day our teacher told us something 1 that I wouldlike to share with you.He began by drawing a man standing in the middle of a circle. To make it more interesting, he drew things like a house, a car and a few friends inside the circle.He asked, “Can anyone tell me what this is?” In a long silence, one student decided to 2 his idea,“The world?” The teacher said, “That’s close. This is your Comfort Zone. Inside your circle you have all the things that are important to you. Your home, your family, your friends and your job. People feel that inside this circle they are safe from any 3 .”“Can anyone tell me what happens when you step out of this circle?” A strong silence came over the room. The same student replied,“You are afraid.” Another student said, “You may make mistakes.” The silence continued and our teacher smiled and asked, “When you make mistakes, what can the result be?” The first student said, “You 4 something.”“Exactly, you are learning.” Our teacher turned to the blackboard and drew an arrow(箭头) 5 from the man to the outside of the circle. He went on saying, “When you l eave your Comfort Zone, you put yourself out there, in a 6 that you are not comfortable with. The result is that you learn something that you did not know and you enlarge your knowledge to become a better person.” He turned again to the blackboard and drew a bigger circle around the original(原来的) circle, and7 a few new things like more friends, a big house, etc.A lesson from this story is that if you stay inside your Comfort Zone you will never be able to open your eyes to the outside world and learn. When you step out of your Comfort Zone, you will 8 make your circle bigger to challenge your mind and grow to be stronger, and all in all be a better person.( )1.A.personal B.natural C.traditional cational( )2.A.take B.express C.argue D.write( )3.A.noise B.danger C.disagreements D.arguments( )4.A.lose B.want C.learn D.miss( )5.A.pointing B.flying C.connecting D.leaving( )6.A.standard B.business C.programme D.situation( )7.A.built B.invited C.added D.divided( )8.A.finally B.hardly C.quickly D.suddenlyⅡ. 阅读理解A tiny helicopter nearly hit your head and then flew off into the distance.What was that?You just saw a drone, a remote-controlled device(遥控装置) that can carrycameras and technology for all sorts of reasons.New technology has made drones cheaper and easy to buy in recent years. More people are using drones as a hobby, just like flying a kite. Drones are also used to film sports games and make movies.But lots of professionals use them in their jobs, too.In Australia, scientists are using drones to search large areas and protect animals.“You don’t need to worry about(getting attacked by) crocodiles or stepping on coral(珊瑚),” Dr Karen Joyce told Australia’s ABC.Environmental professor Lian Pin Koh used a drone to fly over the nests of orangutans(猩猩) in Indonesia.“We believe drones have potential not only for combating(战斗), but also for monitoring(监控) the health of wildlife populations,” said Koh.But they may not be completely safe.“There are more and more biologists using drones and nobody really knows if they are causing harm to the animals (by scaring them),” Koh said.Using a drone for fun can cause trouble, too. A drone crashed(坠毁) at the Grand Canyon in the US recently, frightening visitors who were there to take in the sunset.Most countries have announced rules about where drones can fly if businesses are using them. But there aren’t many rules for hobby drones. There is concern that they will viol ate(侵扰) people’s privacy.“Once drones become widely used in our society, there’s going to be a lot of concern,” Electronic Frontier Foundation lawyer Jennifer Lynch told the Los Angeles Times.9.Which of the following about a drone is NOT true? ( )A.It’s a remote-controlled device.B.It can carry cameras and technology.C.It works just like flying a kite.D.It can be used to film sports games and make movies.10.What did Professor Koh use a drone to do? ( )A.To study crocodiles.B.To study coral.C.To search the ocean.D.To fly over the nests of orangutans.11.The underlined word “potential” in Paragraph 8 probably means “”. ( )A.differenceB.possibilityC.exampleD.idea12.What does Professor Koh think of using drones? ( )A.It can combat wildlife crime(犯罪).B.It’s bad for the animals by scaring them.ing a drone for fun always causes trouble.ing hobby drones often violates people’s privacy.Ⅲ. 回答问题Charity Cause in the UKIf you watch British television on March 15, you might be surprised to see celebrities(名人) wearing funny red noses and joking around. But don’t worry. They’re not mad. It’s all part of a money raising event called Red Nose Day.Founded in 1985 by two British actors, the aim of the event is to raise money to help poor people in the UK and Africa. Celebrities support the event by making appearances on special TV shows. For example, David Cameron once appeared in a music video by One Direction, which the band produced for the event.The British don’t just raise money for charitable(慈善的)causes on one day a year, but they do it all year round. One way of doing so is by shopping in charity shops. These small shops sell clothes, books and household goods just like any other shop except that the things are all second-hand.There are nearly 10,000 charity shops in the UK. Their business model is simple: Anybody whohas things they don’t want anymore can give them to a charity shop, where they are checked, cleaned and priced. The money that is made by selling them is used for a charitable cause.The idea of buying used clothes may sound unpleasant, but for shoppers who have less spending money, it has been a welcome choice. Now, shopping at charity shops is also becoming popular with young people looking for another kind of fashion. “You can find very beautiful and special clothes for a very low price. I don’t mind wearing the clothes that other people may have worn. I simply wash them before I wear them,” said Anne Marie, a 19-year-old from the UK.So next time you see a charity shop, why not go inside? Who knows, you might find a lovely dress for just a few pounds. Even better, you can enjoy wearing it, because it means that your money helpeda good cause.13.When is Red Nose Day?14.What is the aim of the event?15.Do the British raise money for charitable causes on one day a year?16.What do charity shops in the UK sell?17.Why are charity shops becoming popular among young people?【参考答案】Ⅰ.[主旨大意] 本文是一篇记叙文。

小卷速测(五) 完形填空+阅读理解C+回答问题(限时:20分钟)Ⅰ. 完形填空Sometimes I really doubt whether there is love between my parents. Every day they are busy trying to make money in order to pay for my brother’s education and mine. They don’t act in the romantic ways that I read in books or I see on TV. My father has a bad temper. It’s easy for him to lose his temper.One day, my mother was sewing a quilt (被子). I 1 sat down beside her and looked at her. “Is there love between you and Dad?” I asked her in a very low voice. My mother stopped her work and raised her head with 2 in her eyes. She didn’t answer my question immediately. Then she3 her head and continued to sew the quilt. I was afraid that I had hurt her feelings.I felt so embarrassed that I didn’t know what to do. But at last I heard my mother say the fol lowing words: “Look at this thread (线). Sometimes it 4 , but most of the time, it disappears in the quilt. The thread really makes the quilt strong and durable. If life is a quilt, then love should be a thread. It can hardly be 5 anywhere or anytime, bu t it’s really there.”I listened carefully but I couldn’t 6 until the next spring. At that time, my father suddenly got sick seriously. After they were back from the hospital, my mother 7 him to walk slowly on the beautiful country road every morning. My father had never been so gentle. But after two months he still couldn’t walk by himself. All of us were worried about him. “Dad, how are you feeling now?” I asked him one day.“Susan, don’t worry about me,” he said gently.“To tell you the truth, I jus t like walking with your mom.” Reading his eyes, I know he loves my mother deeply.Once I thought love meant flowers, gifts and sweet kisses. But from this 8 , I understand that love is just a thread in the quilt of our life. Love is inside, making life strong and warm.

There are now about 360 kinds of sharks, whose size,behavior, and other characteristics differ widely.Every year, people catch and kill over 100 million sharks. They hunt sharks for sport, food, medicine and their skin. Experts say the international market for some kinds of sharks has increased because many parts of a shark are valuable. Collectors pay thousands of dollars for the jaws of a shark. Shark liver oil is a popular source of vitamin A. The skin of a shark can be used like leather. In Asia, people enjoy a kind of soup made from shark fins.It takes most kinds of sharks 10 to 15 years to begin reproducing(繁殖) and most sharks reproduce only every two years. And they give birth to fewer than ten young sharks. For this reason, over-fishing of sharks is the special danger to the future of the animal.Influenced by movies and popular novels, most people see sharks as people-eating monsters. This is far from the truth. Every year, a few types of shark injure about 100 people worldwide and kill about 25. Most attacks are by great white sharks, which often feed on sea mammals, just like sea lions, sea dogs and dolphins. They sometimes mistake human swimmers for their food, especially if they are wearing black wetsuits.If you are a typical ocean-goer, your chances of being killed by a shark are about 1 in 100 million. You are more likely to be killed by a pig than a shark and thousands of times more likely to get killed when you drive a car.According to the studies, most sharks can live 20 to 30 years. Although sharks cannot live as long as human beings, they have the similar aging process. Sharks help save human lives. They are helping us learn how to fight cancer and other diseases. Their highly effective immune(免疫的) system allows wounds to get better and their blood is being studied in connection with AIDS research.Sharks are needed in the world’s ocean ecosystems(生态系统). Although they don’t need us, we need them. We are much more dangerous to sharks than they are to us. For every shark that bitesa person, we kill one million sharks.9.The second paragraph is mainly about . ( )A.why people kill sharksB.who makes sharks in dangerC.what causes people to fear sharksD.how sharks produce their babies10.The underlined words “aging process” in Paragraph 6 probably mean “ ”.( )A.sharks have their own familyB.sharks live from babies to the oldC.sharks have their own languageD.sharks raise their children all the time11.What can we learn from the passage? ( )A.People find dinosaurs have lived long before sharks.B.One hundred people are killed by sharks every year.C.Sharks are helping people fight diseases like cancer.D.Sharks give birth to young babies every 10 to 15 years.Ⅲ. 回答问题Small talkAmericans often have short conversations, called small talk, aboutunimportant things with strangers or people they know but not very well.They may have small talk at parties, while waiting in line at the store,at family events or work. It’s a way to say hi and express friendlines s.Small talk is very useful. It can avoid uncomfortable silences and build stronger relationships. For example, when you first meet someone or talk to someone you don’t know well, you can break the ice by making small talk. Small talk with a colleague(同事) about his child may help you to understand more of his life outside the office.In 2013, researchers from the University of Essex asked some people to make small talk in a study. They found small talk can make people happier. People who talked briefly (短暂地) with a waiter in a coffee shop felt happier than those who simply went in, ordered and left.However, some people are not good at small talk. Here are some tips to improve your small-talking ability.Firstly, find common ground. When you have something similar with your speaking partner, thatmeans you have something to talk about.Secondly, ask open-ended questions. They are suitable(合适的) for small talk. For example, if you ask visitors whether they like your city, they may simply say “Yes.” But if you ask “What do you think of our city?” They will have more freedom in how they answer.Thirdly, become a student. Nobody knows everything. So, as someone is answering one of your open-ended questions, they bring up something about which you know nothing. So, tell them! This lets the other person become the teacher. They feel good about sharing their knowledge and you get to learn something. It’s a win-win situation.Finally, practice makes perfect. Like anything, getting good at making small talk takes practice.If you make small talk in your native language, you might become happier. If you are making small talk using English, you will most surely improve your speaking and listening skills. 12.Do Americans often have small talk?13.Why is small talk useful?14.What did some researchers from the University of Essex find in 2013?15.What kind of questions are suitable for small talk?16.What does the writer tell us about small talk in the passage?【参考答案】Ⅰ.[主旨大意] 本文是一篇记叙文。

小卷速测(六) 完形填空+阅读理解D+回答问题(限时:20分钟)Ⅰ. 完形填空Anvitha, a student from a high school, has built two apps.She is trying to use her skills to help 1 .With the help of YouTube videos, the young creator from Melbourne, Australia, learned to make digital code(编码) at the age of twelve before she could make apps by herself.“When I got my iPad, I was 2 by all the apps on it,”she said. “From then on, I decided to create my own.”She worked out her first two apps.One is called Smartkins Animals.It helps children identify(辨别) more than 100 animals and their 3 .The other app is Smartkins Rainbow Colors.It teaches kids how to use colors.Each app has been downloaded thousands of times online.Anvitha’s skills 4 her a good chance to attend a tech-conference(科技会议) in San Francisco, California.There, she got tips from the experts.She went to workshops where she learned about the 5 software for app making.All that training led to an idea for a third app.This one, called GoalsHi, helps kids form good ers are rewarded for achieving goals.Anvitha says the rewards are like getting a sticker(标签) for a job well done.“Kids can 6 goals with this app and get stars when they achieve them,” she says. “The idea is to encourage kids to achieve one little step a day.”Anvitha’s goal is to 7 creating technology that helps kids learn while having fun.But what’s even more important to her is that the world sees the power of technology in kids’ han ds.“The more training we get in tech at an early 8 ,” she says,“the better chance we have to become creative champions who will one day change the world.”( )1.A.all B.others C.another D.either( )2.A.confused B.scared C.attracted D.supported( )3.A.pictures B.zoo C.family D.sounds( )4.A.showed B.left C.advised D.won( )test B.lightest C.cheapest D.easiest( )6.A.get B.set C.keep D.kick( )7.A.suggest B.avoid C.continue D.finish( )8.A.age B.price C.start D.topⅡ. 阅读理解Imagine you could remember everything that ever happened to you: the detail(细节) of every book you have ever read; and every moment in class you have ever taken. A perfect memory sounds like a wish come true, doesn’t it?But as the old saying goes, “Be careful what you wish for.” Believe it or not, there are some people in the world who have near perfect memories of their experiences. They remember almost every detail about almost every day of their lives. People with this ability have a “highly superior autobiographical memory(超级自传体记忆)” or HSAM.If you are asked this evening to describe the events of your day in as much as detail as possible, you will probably do pretty well. But if I ask you to provide details about what you did on March 3, 2012, do you know what day of the week it was? What did you eat for lunch? Was it cold that day? You would have no idea where to even begin.A person with HSAM would be able to provide all those details for almost any day of his or her life. In addition to(除了) every great moment they remember, they also remember each time they were embarrassed(难堪的) or deeply sad. The negative(消极的) events replay in their minds in equal detail as the great moments. Sometimes, forgetting isn’t such a bad thing.In fact, for most of us, forgetting is a natural part of how our brains function(运转). If we don’t need to remember something or try to make an effort to remember it, the information fades away(消逝) and is lost. But for those people with HSAM, the problem is that they are unable to forget. All of their experiences, even the most unimportant, remain clear to them all the time.Research has shown that the brains of people with HSAM do not simply function differently than other brains; their brains are structurally different. By studying the brains of people with HSAM, scientists may be able to find ways of helping others have better memories—not perfect memories with an inability to forget, but better memories.9.The writer mentions three questions in Paragraph 3 to show that . ( )A.many people would like to share their life experiences with othersB.few people can describe the events of the present momentsC.some people find it difficult to tell others about their lifeD.most people can’t remember lots of details in the p ast10.People with HSAM . ( )A.often feel sorry or deeply sad for othersB.want negative events to stay clear in their mindsC.remember both great and bad moments in detailD.forget their unimportant experiences in daily life11.The writer probably agrees that . ( )A.practice makes memory perfectB.forgetting is important and helpfulC.people should remember everythingD.scientists should help people with HSAM12.Which of the following would be the best title for the passage? ( )A.The Importance of MemoryB.The Imperfect Gift of MemoryC.The New Research of MemoryD.The Advantages of People with HSAMⅢ. 回答问题Return to the moonIt might not be long until humans uncover the secrets of the farside of the moon. China’s Chang’e 4 robotic probe(探测器), whichwas set to become the first probe to land on the moon’s far side,was launched successfully on Dec. 8, 2018, Xinhua reported.The moon rotates(自转) at the same speed that it orbits(绕……运行) Earth. Therefore, the same side of the moon always faces Earth. The far side of the moon is the side that we cannot see. We don’t know much about it so far.However, the far side of the moon is an ideal(理想的) place for scientific research. It is exposed(暴露) to solar winds that may have formed unique minerals(矿物质) and other resources. And since the far side is less affected by Earth’s gravity, scientists can make clearer observations of deep space from there, according to China Daily.But it is hard to land on the far side of the moon. Spacecraft that land there cannot receive any radio signals from Earth. To solve this problem, China launched a relay satellite(中继卫星) called Queqiao into space in May. Through Queqiao, scientists can control and operate Chang’e 4.The probe’s travel time is also important. Chang’e 4 was expected to land on the moon on Jan.2, 2019, China Daily reported. It would travel through space for more than 20 days before landing. This was longer than Chang’e 3, which was in space for about 12 days before landing.The travel time was changed because scientists wanted Chang’e 4 to land on the moon when it was daytime. This way, the spacecraft’s solar panels(太阳能板) can receive energy from the sun and allow the probe to start working. A single day on the moon is about 28 days on Earth. Therefore, Chang’e 4 kept orbiting the moon before landing as it waited for daytime, according to Sun Zezhou, chief designer of Chang’e 4.Did you know? Chang’e 4 took some plant seeds and eggs to the moon. It is hoped that Chang’e 4 will be able to do experiments with them. These will be the first biological experiments to take place on the moon.13.Is Chang’e 4 the first probe to land on the far side of the moon?14.What does the far side of the moon refer to?15.What research may scientists do on the far side of the moon?16.How did Chinese scientists solve the problem of no signals?17.Why did scientists want Chang’e 4 to l and in the daytime?【参考答案】Ⅰ.[主旨大意] 本文是一篇记叙文。
