With their impressive towers, they feature in Dante’s Divine Comedy.Main SightsInside the town are the Church of Santa Maria Assunta, the battlements on the town walls and the small “ Monteriggioni in Arme” museum, whe re there are models and life-size armors(铠甲).Every July within the wall of the town a special event is celebrated: the Medieval Festival of Monteriggioni, one of the most beautiful festivals in the region. The city goes back in time to the Middle Ages, the streets are filled up with people in period costume creating a real atmos phere. Dances, live performances, music, theatre, kids entertainment, storytellers and more entertain the public.The surrounding areaThe townlands of Monteriggioni, with the walled town as their capital, cover an area of about 100km²directly to the north of Siena, full of woods, hills, vineyards and olive groves(小树林). The townlands also take in a large area of unspoiled nature that has been declared a Site of Community Importance(SCI). The area is crossed by a network of trails, including the Via Francigena, which can be travelled on foot which we highly recommended, you can also have a tour by bicycle or on horse-back.How to get to MonteriggioniBY CARTake the “Monteriggioni” exit on the Florence-Siena motorway link.BY BUSLine 130 from Siena for Colle di Val d’ Els a-Poggibonsi-SanGimignano.BY TRAINThe closest station is “Castellina inChianti- Monteriggioni”.Tourist OfficePiazza Roma, 2353035 Monteriggioni(SI)-ItalyTel./fax+39 0577 304834info@ Monteriggioniturism to.it21.

In a fashion magazine.D. In a newspaper.BI discovered the power of fear when I became stuck to my driveway, as if my feet were crazy—glued to the cement（水泥）．As much as I tried, I could not move them. The realization that my daughters were playing in Nancy's house, just one-half block away, paralyzed（麻痹）my legs, making me unable to move when I neared the end of our driveway. Dense, black smoke was rising from behind the Sycamore Maple trees on the other side of the street and was enveloping three houses, making them barely visible. Nancy's house was one of them.I tried to call out for my daughters hoping to see them run safely to my arms, but my voice was also stuck --- stuck in my throat with no intention of coming out. There I stood, helpless, paralyzed and silenced by fear, unable to protect the two little girls I loved more than even I had realized.Although trapped in a body that couldn't move or speak, I could still hear. I could hear other mothers anxiously calling their children. I could hear a frightening silence that covered the neighborhood instead of the usual happy voices of children. And, finally, I could hear the alarm of the fire engine. As the alarm announced, "We're on our way," it instantly dissolved the crazy glue that had held my feet to the cement and it unlocked the soundproof box that had silenced my voice. I was free to make sure my daughters were safe.As I continued down the driveway, two little girls, my two little girls, ran toward me from across the street. They had come home to tell me about the fire in the garage next to Nancy's house. Not only did my feet andvoice work now, but my eyes were also in good working order and had no trouble producing tears.24. Why was the author stuck to her driveway?A. She was too tired to move her legs.B. Thick black smoke blocked her view.C. The cement on the driveway was still wet.D. The fear for her daughters' safety struck her.25. What made the author able to move and speak again?A. Shouting from other anxious mothers.B. Strange silence in the neighborhood.C. The alarm of the coming fire engine.D. The courage to protect her daughters.26. What does the author suggest at the end of the story?A. She burst into tears of relief and happiness.B. She was really thankful to see her girls saved.C. She was too excited to believe what she saw.D. She overcame her fear and fully recovered,27. What is the best title for the text?A. Love in FireB. The Power of FearC. A Narrow EscapeD. The Price of FearCMOOCs (Massive Open Online Courses) are free, but without tutoring, and are open to anyone, anywhere in the world. The courses are flexible – normally three to five hours of study a week – done at any time, short (5 to 10 weeks) and video-rich. They are also heavily dependent on crowd sourcing: you can discuss a course with fellow students through online forums(论坛), discussion boards and peer review. Students don't have to finish the courses, pass assessments or do assignments, but, if they do, they get a certificate of participation.The Open University launched Future Learn, the UK's answer to US platforms such as Coursera, EdX and Udacity, which have been offering MOOCs from top US universities for the past two years. The response has been incredible, with more than three million people registering worldwide. Meanwhile, in 2012, Edinburgh University became the first non-US institution to join Coursera's partnership, including 13 universities. “We already run 50 online master's degrees, so this was a logical expansion,” says Professor Jeff Haywood, Edinburgh's vice-president. “It's an investment in teaching methods research. How am I going to teach introductory philosophy to 100,000 people? That's what I call educational R&D.” He adds “If you look ahead 10 years, you'd expect all students graduating to have taken some online courses, so you've got to research that. Our MOOCs are no more in competition with our degrees than a lifelong learning course because they don't carry credits.”Cooperation is key, Haywood stresses. It is far better to offer 20-30 courses in your own areas of expertise (专门技能) and let other institutions do likewise. Professor Mike Sharples, Future Learn's academic lead, goes further: “We've tied the elements available before into a package of courses offered by leading universities worldwide on a new software platform, with a new way of promoting it and also a new social-learning teaching method. You won't just receive an exam, but be able to discuss and mark each other's assignments.”Bath University, one of more than 20 universities working with Future Learn, launches its first course, Inside Cancer, next January, and regards MOOCs as a way of breaking down age barriers. "There's no reason why someone doing GCSEs should not look at our MOOCs and get quite a way through them, or someone at PhD level and beyond," says Professor Bernie Morley, expert for learning and teaching.28. MOOCs have these features EXCEPT that_______.A. MOOCs are free of charge for anyoneB. MOOCs can be adjusted according to people’s learning paceC. MOOCs provide teachers’ instructions if you have some difficultyD. MOOCs have a platform for learners to share their learning experience29. The response to Future Learn has been thought to be unbelievable because ______.A. all the courses on the platform are available to anyone in the worldB. Edinburgh University became the first non-US institution to join itC. the number of people registering in the platform is beyond expectationD. students can get a certification of participation without passing assessments30. What can be inferred from Professor Bernie Morley in the last paragraph?A. People with various learning levels will probably show interest in MOOCs.B. People at PhD level have already known everything about MOOCs.C. Inside Cancer will be the most popular course for someone doing GCSEs.D. MOOCs are not so competitive as lifelong learning courses due to credits.31. The passage mainly deals with _____.A. the various opinions on Future LearnB. the advantages of online teaching methodsC. the popularity of no-credit coursesD. the emergence of a new learning platformD“Heaven is where the police are English, the cooks are French, the mechanics are German, the lovers are Italian and everything is organized by the Swiss. Hell (地狱) is where the police are German, the cooks are English, the mechanics are French, the lovers are Swiss, and everything is organized by the Italians.”Obviously the national stereotypes (模式化的思想) in this old joke are generalizations (普遍化), but such stereotypes are often said to “exist for a reason”. Is there actually a sliver (裂片) of truth in them? Not likely, an international research team now says.“National and cultural stereotypes do play an important role in how people see themselv es and others, and being aware that these are not dependable is a useful thing,” said study author Robert McCrae of the National Institute on Aging. “These are in fact unfounded stereotypes. They don’t come from looking around you,” McCrae said.If nation al stereotypes aren’t rooted in real experiences, then where do they come from? One possibility is that they reflect national values, which may become known from historical events. For example, many historians have argued that the spirit of American individualism (个人主义) has its origins in the experiences of the pioneers on the Old West.Social scientists such as psychologist Richard Robins have given several other possible explanations for stereotypes and why they may be incorrect. Robins notes that some stereotypes may have been correct at one point in history and then remained unchanged while the culture changed.We may be “hard-wired”, to some degree, to keep incorrect stereotypes, since we are less likely to notice and remember information that is different from our stereotypes. Generally, according to Robins, when we meet people who are different from our stereotypes, we see them as unique individuals rather than typical national or cultural groups.32. The stereotype about Italians is ______.A. romantic but disorganizedB.friendly and good-temperedC. dreamy and impracticalD. strict but thoughtful33. According to social scientists, National stereotypes are not always correct because______.A. they are formed by individual historiansB. what was true in the past may not be true at the presentC. generalizations are made through personal experienceD. people tend to have false idea about other cultures34. According to the research team led by McCrae, national stereotypes are ______.A. interestingB. harmfulC. humorousD. unreliable35. The underlined word “hard-wired” in the last paragraph probably means______.A. forgetfulB. anxiousC. fixedD. helpless第二节：信息匹配（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。

21．—What do you think of the house?—________ It's everything we've been looking for.A．Perfect！B．Good idea！C．Not bad. D．So-so.解析：选A考查情景交际。
空后面说“这是我们一直所寻找的一切”，这表明回答者对这所房子的评价很高，所以选择A项，perfect“最佳的，完美的”。
B项常用于表示赞同对方的提议，not bad与so-so意义相近，表示对某事的看法一般。
22．He was unhappy when he sold his guitar.After all, he ________ it for a very long time.A．has had B．had hadC．has D．had解析：选B考查时态。
根据句中的was和sold可知，他拥有这把吉他已经很长一段时间了，“拥有”这个动作是截止到过去的，而不是截止到现在，所以不能选择A项或C 项。
表示过去的过去应该用过去完成时，故选B。
23．The accident caused some ________ to my car, but it's nothing serious.A．harm B．injuryC．ruin D．damage解析：选D考查名词辨析。
根据后面的it's nothing serious可知，造成的破坏不严重，所以不能选择ruin“毁灭，废墟”；damage意为“破坏，损坏”，意思是说程度不是很严重，往往修理之后仍然可以使用。
harm意为“伤害，损害”；injury意为“受伤害”，主要指躯体和情感上的伤害。

AIt’s no secret that your personal characteristics directly affect how you interact with the world-but you might be surprised at just how deep it goes. Experts think that your personality can even affect how you exercise and influence what sports are suitable for you.Highly SensitiveHighly sensitive people may be more uncomfortable with group exercise classes or team sports where they feel their every move is being observed. Additionally, they may feel more upset over an ineffective or poor workout, says researcher Elaine Aron.For such people, individual or non- competitive activities like biking, running and hiking are ideal.Type A PersonalityType A individuals often have an “all or nothing approach” to exercise. Th is personality type is known for sticking closely to their plan, not to mention being super competitive. However, this can cause them to stick too closely to a fitness routine, which means they might try to push past an injury.To get better exercise results, Type A people need to be aware that following an exercise plan too strictly may limit their progress. They should be more flexible and listen to their body, especially when they are in pain.Type B PersonalityThis laid-back group may get too lazy about their exercise plan, which prevents them from seeing results. They are often less willing to devote enough time and energy to their fitness goals, especially if exercise is something that makes them anxiousType B individuals succeed in creative and co-operative environments, so team sports and group gym classes may be perfect.Remember, there are plenty of ways you can adapt a fitness plan to suit your needs, regardless of your characteristics. Just keep in mind what you like.21. Why might highly sensitive people be unwilling to take part in group sports?A. They will feel like they are being evaluated.B. They don't like socialising with other people.C. They don't consider themselves to be athletic.D. They fear they'll be let down by their teammates.22. Type A personalities can be best described asA. committed B flexible C independent D. sensitive23. What is the purpose of the text?A. To help people understand what personality type they areB. To explain how personal characteristics affect exercise habitsC. To identify the dangers of doing the wrong type of exerciseD. To describe different types of workouts that are available todayBAt first sight, Alma Deutscher, a twelve-year-old girl from England appears to be like any other typical pre-teen. She loves to skip rope, read and play with her younger sister. But this modestyoungster, who composed her first musical work at age six, first short opera at age seven, and first full-length opera based on Cinderella at age ten, is anything but average. Though her parents downplay her extraordinary talent, young Alma is being described as “little Mozart” by the music worldAlma’s operatic take on the classic fairy tale, which she began writing at age eight, has a slight twist. Her Cinderella is a musician who meets her Prince Charming through a song. “I n my Cinderella, she sings the beginning of a ballad --- but at midnight she flees. Eventually, the prince finds her after asking all the maidens of the land to sing the end of the ballad.”The opera was first performed in Vienna, Australia on December 29, 2016, where the then eleven-year-old skillfully switched between the piano and the violin and receives enthusiastic reviews. The young genius has since performed two new piano works, once in Australia and the other in China.While this may appear to be a lot for someone so young, Alma is not worried. She says, “Of course I have to work hard. But all children have to work hard for exams, and at least when I work hard, I work hard for something incredibly exciting, like seeing my whole opera put on stage.Alma’s musical talent first came to light before she could even talk. Her parents recall that as an 18-month-old toddler, she was able to hum a pitch perfect version of the children’s rhyme Twinkle Twinkle Little Star.However, Alma’s abilities only gained international attention in 2012, after a family friend posted a video online comparing her to Mozart. The family was suddenly swamped with media requested and Alma became an overnight star, dubbed “little Mozart”. This nickname makes her parents unhappy because they believe it puts added pressure on the young girl. They would instead prefer her to be called “a composer and musician”.Alma does not want to be compared to the famous artist either, saying, “There was only one Mozart, and I prefer to be little Alma.” Regardless of what she calls herself, the twelve-year-old is changing the world of music forever!24. What do we know about Alma Deutscher?A. She comes from a famous musical family.B. She has shown great musical talent from a young age.C. She regularly performs the classical music of Mozart.D. She has adapted some famous works of classical music.25. How did Alma get to be widely known?A. Through an online videoB. By performing on televisionC. By putting on an operaD. Through her parents’ promotion26. What is Alma’s attitude towards her success?A. She is still unsatisfied with her performance.B. She is uncomfortable with so much pressure.C. She is modest about her musical achievementsD. She is proud to have become a professional musician.27. What can we infer about Alma’s parents?A. They are very well-educated people.B. They are protective of their daughter.C. They have pushed Alma to take up music.D. They have made a good life plan for Alma.CThe belief that new technologies are causing the death of work is the idea that never goes away. Despite evidence to the contrary, we still view technological change today as being more rapid and dramatic in its consequences for work than ever before. But this is nothing new. People have always viewed the technological changes that take place during their lives as the most dramatic and dangerous that ever happened in history.In the 1930s, the British economist(经济学家) John Maynard Keynes predicted the widespread use of electricity would produce a world where people spend most of their time doing nothing. In the United States during the 1960s, the government repeatedly investigates fears that automatic machines would permanently reduce the amount of work available. In 1988, one Australian historian claimed that at least a quarter of the workforce would be without jobs within 10 years because of computers.Of course, none of these disasters came to pass in the United Kingdom, the United States and Australia, or anywhere else.Yet today, we are seeing the return of these predictions, with some experts claiming the world of work is once more undergoing radical and unprecedented change. They argue that robots and other workplace technologies are causing a reduction in the total amount of work available, or are bringing a more rapid pace of substitution of machines for humans than has been seen previously.But there is a little evidence to support such beliefs. Statistics show that the percentage of people in work, the number of hours they work, and how frequently they change jobs have remained remarkably constant over the past 20 years.This stability should not come as a surprise. There are good reasons why we should not expect new technologies to cause the death of work. New technologies always cause job losses, but that is only part of the story. What also needs to be understood is how they increase the amount of work available.One way this happens is through the increases in incomes that accompany the use of new technologies. With the introduction of these technologies, good and services can be produced faster, which results in higher real incomes for workers. Higher incomes then increase demand for other products and consequently more workers are needed to make them. Additionally, while new technologies are likely to substitute for some types of workers, they will also increase demand for other types of workers, especially those with higher level skills and expertise.So, the end of work is no closer today than at any time in the past. But there is still a need to keep disproving the prediction, to reduce people's fears.28. What is the function of the second paragraph?A. To explain the importance of developing new technology.B. To show how technology affected employment in the past.C. To argue that technological dangers are becoming more serious.D. To give historical examples of unnecessary fear about new technology.29. How can employment statistics over the past 20 years best be described?A. ConfusingB. ReliableC. StableD. Variable30. According to paragraph 7, why does demand for products often increase after new technology is introduced?A. There are more goods for people to choose from.B. There is more demand for new skills in the economy.C. Productivity improvements help raise workers’ salaries.D. Higher quality goods at lower prices encourage consumption.31. What is the author’s opinion about the introduction of new technology?A. It does not have an e ffect on most people’s jobs.B. Its benefits are usually not worth the introduction.C. It usually leads to a significant increase in employment.D. Its danger to peoples employment possibilities is overstated.DSupermarket shelves are filled with plant-based alternatives to cow milk, including soy, nut, and coconut milk. These products are popular with consumers who cannot drink cows’ milk for health reasons, as well as with those concerned about animal welfare and environmental sustainability. While the dairy-free(非乳制的) options work well with cereal or in coffee, they fail miserably when it comes to making milk-based products like cheese or yogurt. However, these shortcomings may soon be a thing of the past, thanks to a new company in California, which has figured out how to create animal-free milk in a laboratory!Perumal Gandhi and Ryan Pandya founded the company in 2014 after becoming increasingly annoyed with the lack of cows’milk-free alternatives, particularly for cheese. For Gandhi, who stopped consuming animal products five years earlier due to environmental and animal welfare concerns, the motivation to create a better alternative stemmed from his love of cheesy pizza. Pandya was spurred into taking action after being forced to eat some “really bad” dairy-free cream cheese on his sandwichThe two MIT biomedical engineering scientists decided to join forces to create a more realistic alternative to dairy-based products. In their university lab, the pair spent nine months first isolating cow DNA then inserting it into yeast(酵母). This genetic modification enabled the yeast to produce the necessary milk proteins. The final step of the process involved mixing the proteins with some plant nutrients and fats.The dairy-free milk not only tastes like the real thing but is also healthier, has a longer shelf life and, most important of all, is Earth friendly. According to the company’s website, when compared toconventional milk production, their process uses 65% less energy, creates 84%o less greenhouse gas emissions and requires 91% less land and an amazing 98% less water! Best of all, since it contains real milk proteins, the product behaves like the cow-produced version, which means vegetarian consumers will no longer have to deal with soggy cheese on their sandwiches and pizzas.The company plans to bring their creation to market later this year and their first product will most likely be cheese since there are already numerous good cows’milk alternatives available to consumers.32. The underlined word "those" in paragraph 1 refers to_______.A. alternativesB. peopleC. productsD. reasons33. The company s founders were motivated to make the new product because of_______.A. their deep concern for the environmentB. their worry that farm animals were poorly treatedC the over-consumption of the dairy-based productsD. the poor taste of dairy-free cheese presently available34. What can be inferred from paragraph 4?A. The dairy-free products cannot be stored for a long time.B. The new products will taste better than dairy-based ones.C. Cow farming causes considerable environmental damage.D. The dairy-free milk will be more expensive than cow’s milk.35. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A. Healthier CheeseB. New Milk Saves PlanetC. Fresher Milk, Better FutureD. Making Milk without Cows第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

In all, from the time the stem cellsare harvested from a donor(捐献者)to the time they can be implanted in the patient, we've got 72 hours at most. So I am always conscious of time.I had one trip last year where I was caught by a hurricane in America. I picked up the stem cells in Providence, Rhode Island, and was meant to fly to Washington then back to London.But when I arrived at the check-in desk at Providence, the lady on the desk said: “Well, I'mreally sorry, I've got some bad news for you—there are no flights from Washington.”So Itook my box and put it on the desk and I said:“In this box are some stem cells that are urgentlyneeded for a patient—please, please, you've got to get me back to the United Kingdom.”Shejust dropped everything.

Developed by two doctors in the U.S. Department of Agriculture, it's an excellent water collector. Unfortunately, you must carrythe necessary equipment with you, since it's all but impossible to find natural substitutes.The only components required, though, are a 5'×5' sheet of clear or slightly milky plastic,six feet of plastic tube, and a container—perhaps just a drinking cup—to catch the water.These pieces can be folded into a neat little pack and fastened on your belt.To construct a working still, use a sharp stick or rock to dig a hole four feet across and three feet deep. Try to make the hole in a damp area to increase the water catcher's4 / 15productivity. Place your cup in the deepest part of the hole. Then lay the tube in place sothat one end rests all the way in the cup and the rest of the line runs up—and out —the sideof the hole.Next, cover the hole with the plastic sheet, securing the edges of the plastic with dirt and weighting the sheet's center down with a rock. The plastic should now form a cone(圆锥体) with 45-degree-angled sides. The low point of the sheet must be centered directly over,and no more than three inches above, the cup.The solar still works by creating a greenhouse under the plastic. Ground water evaporates(蒸发) and collects on the sheet until small drops of water form, run down the material, and falloff into the cup. When the container is full, you can suck the refreshment out through thetube, and won't have to break down the still every time you need a drink.32.What do we know about the solar still equipment from the first paragraph?A.It's delicate.B.It's expensive.D.It's portable. C.It's complex.33.What does the underlined phrase “the water catcher”in paragraph 2 refer to?A.The tube.B.The still.D.The cup.C.The hole.34.What is the last step of constructing a working solar still?A.Dig a hole of a certain size.B.Put the cup in place.C.Weight the sheet's center down.D.Cover the hole with the plastic sheet.35.When a solar still works, drops of water come into the cup from .A.the plastic tubeB.outside the holeD.beneath the sheetC.the open air第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)(2018课标全国Ⅱ)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。

She and her husband were notwealthy, but a visit to a friend?s brother, who was in the last stage of AIDS, made her determined to do something. ByOctober, she had raised enough money to set up a guest house and take in 12 people who were dying of AIDS. Daphnesent her boy to the guest house, where he became a star.But in 1992 the guest house had to close for lack of money. Gail offered to adopt Nkosi. In 1997, Gail sent Nkosi toschool, as there was no law preventing HIV-positive kids from entering South Africa?s schools. Eight-year-old Nkosi hadlived longer than any other child ever born HIV-positive. In the three years at school Nkosi had only one accident. He fellin the playground and cut his mouth. The bleeding was handled with care. His school performance was satisfactory.Nkosi?s progress was followed by the mediA. Gail took advantage of the coverage to raise money and found a housein Johannesburg for some women and their kids. She called it Nkosi?s Haven. Nkosi and Gail became icons （标志）in theinternational AIDS community. They were invited to the United States and made appearances. Then in July 2000, the 13thInternational Conference on AIDS was scheduled to be held in Durban.Nkosi was introduced to a huge audience. “Hi,” he said. “My name is Nkosi Johnson. I?m 11 years old. I was bo HIV-positive. I hate having AIDS, because I get very sick and I get very sad when I think of all the other children andbabies with AIDS.“Care for us and accept us. We are all human beings. We are normal. We have needs just like everyone else. Don?tbe afraid of us. We are all the same.”His tiny body was being attacked by AIDS, but his big heart inspired a nation.A week after the Christmas in the year 2000, Nkosi asked if he could take a bath.

By following the order of time.D.Through an analysis of cause and effect.CA team of international scientists has published the complete genome（基因组）of the woolly mammoth（长毛象）-a creature which became extinct（灭绝的）thousands of years ago.The study, published in the Journal Current Biology, will probably cheer up a team of Harvard University researchers who've been planning to add mammoth genes to the stem cells（干会田胞）of elephants. Their aim is to find out how the mammoth's adaptations helped them survive the ice ages.The Long Now Foundation, based in San Francisco, is financing the Harvard team and has daring plans for the future if the species is resurrected（使复活）.It says on its website that its goal is "to produce new mammoths that are capable of repopulating the vast lands of cold desert and forest in Eurasia and North AmericA. " They say: "The goal isnot to make perfect copies of extinct woolly mammoths, but to focus on the mammoth adaptations needed for Asian elephants to live in the cold climate of the cold desert."But how close are we from a Jurassic-Park-like scene in which extinct animals are brought back to life? Very far, according to some experts. Professor Beth Shapiro, of the University of California, Santa Cruz, wrote a book called Howto Clone a Mammoth. She is skeptical and believes there is a big difference between an embryo（胚胎）in a lab dish and a living animal with some of the characteristics of a mammoth. And we can't even be sure if the elephant's surrogate pregnancy（代孕）would be successful.Woolly mammoths died out some 4, 000 years ago. It might take a long time before the fantasy of the Steven Spielberg movies is turned into reality. And that's fine for those of us who can remember that the resurrected dinosaurs on the screen gave the humans a pretty hard time. If mammoths come back, maybe it would be a good idea to start running...8.What can we learn about the team of Harvard University researchers?A. It is based in San Francisco.B. It attempts to help elephants survive the cold weather.C. It has added mammoth genes to the stem cells of elephants.D.It has published the complete genome of the woolly mammoth.9.It can be concluded from the ar ticle that Beth Shapiro? attitude towards the success of the Mammoth cloning is.A. optimisticB. doubtfulC. convincedD. unsuspecting10.By saying. it would be a good idea to start running…”the last paragraph, the writer really means”A. Woolly mammoths are good at running.B. Woolly mammoths will soon come back to life.C. Humans will have to drive mammoths away.D.Humans would be under threat of mammoths.11.Which could be the best title for the passage?A. Whether dead mammoths can come back to lifeB. Mammoths became extinct long agoC. The challenges to clone mammothsD.Extinct mammoths being clonedDThe storm doesn?t always have to pass before we see a rainbow. In fact, this group of artists would like passers-by to witness a burst of color during a storm.Students and recent graduates from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago （SAIC）have created a concept design for sidewalk illustrations （图案）that appear only when wet. The members of the design team, who are all South Korean, imagined the project as a way to provide relief during Seoul's severe monsoon （季风）season.'Seoul, South Korea, is a vibrant city,” the group wrote on its portfolio page. But during the annual three-week monsoon season, Seoul's energy disappears under the dark clou d.”Using this weather as inspiration, the SAIC team developed Project Monsoon for a contest with Design and Art Direction （D&AD）--- a British group that promotes education in design and advertising. The Chicago team submitted their project for the Pantone Challenge, which asks contestants to Teimagine their hometown through the language of color,” as written on the D&AD website."When the challenge asked us to reimagine our hometown, it was natural for us to try to reimagine Seoul," James Lee, one of the designers, told TheHuffington Post in a Facebook message.Project Monsoon won a D&AD New Blood Black Pencil, which is the highest possible prize to be awarded for young creatives.The designs, which are currently only concept renderings（概念效果图）and have yet to actually be installed, are Inspired by South Korea会culture of emphasizing the importance of the flow of rivers, ” a s well as the country?s topography（地貌）, and feature（描绘...的特征）illustrations of marine life moving downstream. The group hopes to someday obtain the resources to put Project Monsoon into effect in Seoul."It looks like people are noticing the work and maybe we might be able get connected with someone who couldbring this idea to life," Lee said.12.Which of the following is TRUE according to this passage?A. People will see a rainbow before the storm passes.B. All the team members are now studying at SAIC.C. This group of designers are all from South KoreA.D.The team members are suffering a lot from monsoon season.13.Which of the following words can substitute for the underlined word “vibrant” （in Para 3）?A. energeticB. modernC. prosperousD. bright14.Which of the following is NOT true according to this passage?A. The SAIC team and D&AD are from different countries.B. D&AD is the contest organizerC.

2019届高考英语模拟测试试卷及答案
2019届高考英语全真模拟密卷及答案(名师押题预测+实战训练，建议下载练习)1、In 1943, when I was 4, my parents moved from Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, to Fairbanks, Alaska, where adventure was never very far away.We arrived in the summer, just in time to enjoy the midnight sun.All that sunlight was fantastic for Mom's vegetable garden. Working in the garden at midnight tended to throw her timing off, so she didn't care much about my bedtime.Dad was a Railway Express agent and Morn was his clerk. That left me in a mess. I usually managed to find some trouble to get into. Once I had a little fire going in the dirt basement of a hotel. I had tried to light a barrel(桶) of paint but couldn't really get a good fire going. The smoke got pretty bad, though, and when I made my exit, a crowd and the police were there to greet me. The policemen took my matches and drove me home.Mom and Dad were occupied in the garden and Dad told the police to keep me, and they did! I had a tour of the prison before Morn rescued me. I hadn't turned 5 yet.As I entered kindergarten, the serious cold began to set in. Would it surprise you to know that I soon left part of my tongue on a metal handrail at school?As for Leonhard Seppala, famous as a dog sledder (驾雪橇者), I think I knew him well because I was taken for a ride with his white dog team one Sunday. At the time I didn't realize what a superstar he was, but I do remember the ride well. I was wrapped (包裹)heavily and well sheltered from the freezing and blowing weather.In 1950, we moved back to Coeur d'Alene, but we got one more Alaskan adventure when Leonhard invited us eight years later by paying a visit to Idaho to attend a gathering of former neighbors of Alaska.1.What can be inferred about the author's family?A.His father was a cruel man.B.His parents didn't love him.C.His parents used to be very busy.D.His mother didn't have any jobs.2.What happened when the author was 4?A.He learned to smoke.B.He was locked in a basement.C.He was arrested by the police.D.He nearly caused a fire accident.3.Which of the following is TRUE?A.Leonhard was good at driving dog sleds.B.The author spent his whole childhood in Alaska.C.Leonhard often visited the author's family after 1950.D.The author suffered a lot while taking the dog sled in Alaska.4.What is the author's purpose of writing the text?A.To look back on his childhood with adventures.B.To describe the extreme weather of Alaska.C.To express how much he misses Leonhard.D.To show off his pride in making trouble.2、That robots, automation, and software can replace people might seem obvious to anyone who’s worked in automotive manufacturing. But MIT business scholars Erik Brynjolfsson and Andrew McAfe e’s claim is more troubling and controversial. They believe that rapid technological change has been destroying jobs faster than it is creating them.They believe that technology increases productivity and makes societies wealthier, but it became clear to them that the same technologies making many jobs safer, easier, and more productive were also reducing the demand for many types of human workers. Technologies like the Web, artificial intelligence, and big data are automating many routine tasks. Countless traditional white-collar jobs, such as many in the post office and in customer service, have disappeared.As evidence, Brynjolfsson and McAfee point to a chart on which separate lines represent productivity and total employment in the United States. For years after World War II, the two lines closely tracked each other, with increases in jobs corresponding to increases inproductivity. Then, beginning in 2000, the lines diverge; productivity continues to rise steadily, but employment suddenly shrinks. By 2011, a significant gap appears between the two lines, showing economic growth with no parallel increase in job creation.United States Productivity and EmploymentBut are these new technologies really responsible for a decade of lackluster (无生气) job growth? David Autor, an economist at MIT who has studied the connections between jobs and technology, doubts that technology could account for such a sudden change in total employment. Moreover, he also doubts that productivity has, in fact, risen steadily in the United States in the past decade. If he’s right, it raises the possibility that poor job growth could be simply a result of a depressed economy. The sudden slowdown in job creation “is a big puzzle,” he says, “but there’s not a lot of evidence that it’s linked to computers.” “To be sure, computer technologies are changing the types of jobs available, but that is very different from saying technology is affecting the total number of jobs,” he adds. “Jobs can change a lot without there being huge cha nges in employment rates.”Lawrence Katz, a Harvard economist, says that while technological changes can be painful for workers whose skills no longer match the needs of employers, no historical pattern shows these shifts leading to a net decrease in jobs over an extended period. Still, Katz doesn’t dismiss the notion that there is something different about today’s digital technologies. Though he expects the historical pattern to hold, it is “genuinely a question,” he says. “If technology disrupts enough, w ho knows what will happen?”1.Which period on the chart strongly supports McAfee’s claim?A.1947—1967.B.1985—1987.C.1997—2000.D.2011—2013.2.According to David Autor, the change in job growth ________.A.is not necessarily caused by technologyB.results from a weakening economyC.has no connection with productivityD.affects the current types of jobs3.What is Lawrence Katz’s attitude towards the topic?A.Optimistic.B.Defensive.C.Objective.D.Disapproving.4.The main purpose of the passage is to ________.A.show the relation between productivity and job creationB.discuss the effect of technological advances on employmentC.argue against the wide use of artificial intelligenceD.explain the impact of technologies on productivity3、Over seven months have passed since Panamanian officials launched an expansion of the world famous Panama Canal. Officials agreed to the expansion so that many of the world’s largest cargo ships (货船) could easily pass through the canal. Yet the $ 5.25-billion project has problems. It says ships still continue to rub against the canal’s walls and wear out its defenses designed to protect both shipping and the waterway.A dangerous systemThe canal links two oceans-the Atlantic and the Pacific-through a system of locks (船闸). The locks are like steps. They raise and lower ships from one part of the waterway to another on their trip from ocean to ocean.With the old locks, which are still in use, large ships would be tied to powerful engines on both sides. These engines help to keep the ships in the center of the canal. In the new locks, the ships are tied to tugboats (拖船). One tugboat is tied to the front of the ship, with the other tied to the back. These boats then guide the ships through the canal.At first, pilots of the cargo ships and tugboat operators would sometimes try to rub the boats against the canal walls as a way to keep the ships straight. But this caused damage to rubber padding (垫料) lining the walls.Not enough trainingEven before the expanded canal opened in June 2016, tugboat operators had expressed concern about the new system. Many asked for more training. The fears and dangers remain, although the boats are going through.The Panama Canal Authority reports that, between June 2016 and January 2017, there were only 15 incidents that resulted in damage to locks or ships. That represents about 2 percent of the 700 times ships that have sailed through the expanded canal.Pilots have argued they should be replaced with a system of floating bumpers (减震) like those used in some European locks. Officials say they plan to continue operating with the current system of defenses, but changes could happen in the future.1.What is the difference between the new locks and the old ones?A.The old locks don’t need rubber padding as defenses.B.The new locks need tugboats tied to both sides of the ships.C.The new locks are easier for the largest ships to pass through the canal.D.The old locks need powerful engines to drag the ships through the canal.2.What is the Panama Canal Authority’s attitude towards the expanded canal?A.Cautious.B.Critical.C.Positive.D.Doubtful.3.What can we learn about the current system of defenses?A.No ships shall rub against the canal walls to protect it.B.Nothing will be done at present to improve it.C.More training will be given to pilots for it.D.A new system will replace it.4、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. " I always 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 comers 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 foregone 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 there. But then I thought about the fact that he’s 84 years 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 doctorB.meet her father who was already an old manC.join in the holiday celebration of the companyD.finish her work before the deadline approached3.The underlined word "foregone" in Paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to" " .A.abandonedckedC.avoidedD.cherished4.What is the best title for the passage?A.The Emotional Well-beingB.The Two Saddest WordsC.The Most Useful RuleD.The Peace of Mind5、Why you shouldn’t punish your kids for l yingGetting your children to stop lying is challenging. There are many influences (TV, movies, video games and some great books) in which lies are common. Children see parents lie to others, if only to be polite. Most parents add to that with tales about the lives and activities of Santa Claus or the Tooth Fairy, or to lessen fears. ①__________ The most common reactions to children who lie are explaining why it is wrong and punishment. ②__________ Here are three better tools supported by research to use instead.PRAISE: You could ask your child to say something that happened at school that is true. When your child obeys, praise him enthusiastically. Be specific: ③__________ and give your child a hug or a high five. Aim for one or two interactions (互动) like this a day. If you happen to “catch” your child in a lie, say something like, “T hat is not true and could get you in trouble outside of the home.”MODEL: Explicitly tell the truth. This could be about something that happened when you were a child or something that happened during the day. It need not be dramatic. Another option is to play a game at dinner. Each person tells one thing that was true that day. Again, give a little praise to the child who normally lies if she plays along.DECREASE PUNISHMENT AND MORALIZING: They are unlikely to change behavior or develop the conduct you want. ④__________ Rather, use very mild punishment (light scolding, short loss of privilege, a brief time-out). More severe punishments (shouting, taking away something for a week, hitting) are not more effective in actually changing the frequency of lying.⑤__________ Usually they can be dropped by then. It is unlikely that lying will be completely removed, but with the right encouragement, k can be dramatically lessened.A. It is not what that is, but about practice.B. As ways of changing behavior, these are ineffective.C. That does not mean ignoring, lying or letting it go.D. “That was great! You told me what happened just like I asked. Wow!”E. Try these procedures for two to three weeks and see where you are.F. “You did a good job, but what you said was not what I’d like to know!”G. Parents do this out of love, but for some children, lying can become a problem.6、阅读下面短文,从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中,选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

I stood up to look around when a gentle hand touched my shoulder.Then an old woman said, “Hi handsome. My name is Rose. I' m eighty－seven years old. Can I give you a hug?” Ilaughed and enthusiastically responded, “Of course you may.”“Why are you in college at such a young，innocent age?” I asked. She jokingly replied, “I'm here to meet a rich husband, get married, have a couple of children, and then retire and travel.” I was curious what may have motivated her to be taking on this challenge at her age.“I always dreamed of having a college education and now I'm getting one.” she told me. After class we walked to the student union building and shared a chocolate milk shake. We became instant friends. Every day for the next three months we would leave class together and talk nonstop. I was always listening to this “time machine” as she shared her wisdom and experience with me.At the end of the semester we invited Rose to speak at our football banquet. I'll never forget what she taught us. As she began to deliver her prepared speech, she dropped her cards on the floor.Frustrated and a little embarrassed she leaned into the microphone and simply said, “I'm sorry I'm so nervous. I'll never get my speech back in order so let me just tell you what I know.”“There are only three secrets to staying young，being happy，and achieving success.”“You have to laugh and find humor every day.”“You've got to have a dream. When you lose your dreams, you die.”“There is a huge difference between growing older and growing up. Anybody can grow older. That doesn't take any talent or ability. The idea is to grow up by always finding the opportunity in change.”At the year's end Rose finished the college degree she had begun all those years before. One week after graduation Rose died peacefully in her sleep. Over two thousand college students attended her funeral to memorize the wonderful woman who taught by example that it's never too late to be all you can possibly be.Remember，growing older is unchangeable, growing up is optional.21. According to the passage, the old lady goes to the college to __________.A. make her life colorful and interestingB. realize the dream she always dreams ofC. change her life by a college educationD. set a good example to the young students22. Which of the following word CANNOT describe the old lady?A. humorousB. easygoingC. wiseD. serious23. The best title for this passage can be _____________A. The Older, The BetterB. How to Make Your Life MeaningfulC. Never Give up Your DreamsD. Be YourselfBThe slavery drama “12 Years a Slave” won the Academy Award for best picture on Sunday, making history as the first movie from a black director to win the film industry's highest honor in 86 years of the Oscars. Can anyone tell me your ideas about this movie? —— Great Martin“12 Years a Slave is a surprisingly underwhelming movie. It is more of a string of picture about several heartless and evil white men(and women)who are just mean without the motivation of running a plantation on their minds. There is very little character development and most of the film relies on what the audience already knows and feels about slavery.”—— Gemini Jef“Never have I been stunned into an emotional silence after watching a film in the theater. I’ve come out of films before thinking ‘My god, that was unbelievable’, like when I saw The Lord of the Rings for the first time, but this film just hits you on another level entirely. You sit there after it’s over, wondering if what you’d just experienced was real. The day after, you feel the same.”—— Paul Johnson “This movie is just an average movie about slavery. Are you kidding me, segregation movies are a dime a dozen and this movie beat out Gravity for Golden Globes? Gravity has never been done before. 12 Years a Slave I watched once and will never watch again. I watched Gravity5 times and still love it.”——Dominionator“This movie was realistic and engaging at every second. Even the dramatic pauses were worthwhile and definitely not a waste of time. The script inferred and hinted at events rather than just plain saying them, and that was genius. Outstanding photography, amazing special effects and the acting is top notch. There were a few people that walked out during some scenes. What a shame!”——Apols24. The main purpose of Great Martin’s writing is __________ .A. to give a brief introduction of the movieB. to share his own opinions with othersC. to invite answers to his questionD. to explain why he asks the question25. The underlined word “stunned” in the third paragraph probably means __________.A. puzzledB. shockedC. disappointedD. concerned26. Among the four speakers，who made positive comments on the movie?A. Gemini Jef and Paul JohnsonB. Paul Johnson and DominionatorC. Gemini Jef and DominionatorD. Paul Johnson and Apols27. Which of the following best states Paul Johnson’s ideas about 12 Years a Slave?A. It leaves little room for character development.B. It reaches the height of The Lord of the Rings.C. It doesn’t deserve such high praise.D. It amazes the audience with its special effects.CPage last updated at 04:08, Friday, Nov. 22, 2013货物) plane has safely taken off from a tiny airport in Kansas after it landed there by mistake.The huge cargo jet had been heading for McConnell air force base in Wichita, but instead touched down at nearby Colonel James Jabara airport.No one was injured and no property damage occurred when the plane landed.There had been questions as to whether the aircraft would be able to depart from the much shorter runway at Jabara.The Dreamlifter normally needs a runway of 2,780m (9,119ft) to get into the air at maximum weight;Jabara’s runway is only 1,860m long.A tug (牵引车) was sent to the airport to turn around the huge cargo plane.Brad Christopher of the Wichita Airport Authority told the Associated Press news agency that the company operating the aircraft had assured(使确信) us they’ve run all the engineering calculation and performance and the aircraft is very safe for a normal departure at its present weight and conditions here.The Dreamlifter, which landed at Jabara on Wednesday evening, is a modified 747-400 passenger aeroplane, which can carry more cargo than any aeroplane in the world, according to Boeing.The aerospace company uses its fleet of four Dreamlifters to transport large assembled components(组装零件) of its 787 Dreamliner from suppliers around the world to the final location in Washington State.28. From the passage we can learn that the Dreamlifter landed at Jabara airport ________.A. on Nov. 19, 2013B. on Nov. 20, 2013C. on Nov. 21, 2013D. on Nov. 22, 201329.

What’s the main idea of the news?A. A Boeing 747 Dreamlifter is stuck in a tiny air force base.B. A US huge cargo plane has left a tiny airport after a wrong landing.C. A modified 747-400 passenger aeroplane landed at Jabara by mistake.D. A tug was sent to the Jabara airport to help a stuck Boeing 747 Dreamlifter take off.DNothing could be more useful than the Web, could it? You can search for anything you want and receive lots of different answers. But what if you had a device that was tailored to your specific needs, and that information on the Internet without you even needing to look for it?Well, that’s where apps(applications应用程序) come in. And in the West, where apps have been around since mid-2008, there are plenty of people who say that their favorite app, rather than the Web, has become the handiest tool in their everyday lives.There’s an app for everything: whether you want an alarm that analyzes your sleep patterns and wakes you in your lightest sleep stage or a restaurant guide that will help you work out the closest place to get the best meal. There is also a host of games apps to while away the hours, although these have proved far less popular than “lifestyle” apps, according to Lance Stewart—creator of an app named Tube Exits that calculates which carriage you should board in order to arrive at the nearest platform exit on the London Underground.A GPS( Global Positioning System) app is just one example of an application that makes everyday tasks significantly easier. If you’re trying to go somewhere you’ve never been befor e, forget your crumpled(褶皱的) paper map. The GPS software will work out, and display your location on a digital map and plot the route you need to take once you key your desired destination.32. The purpose of the first paragraph is to _______A. raise the question and introduce the following passage.B. give us a clear picture of the apps we’re using.C. draw our attention and to satisfy our curiosity.D. state the important role that apps play in our life.33. By using the app described in the 3rd paragraph, you may do the following things except ___________A. analyzing your sleeping patterns.B. setting an alarm to wake you up.C. designing and playing online games.D. locating the closest restaurant nearby.34. You may use the Tube Exits app to ___________A. choose the right carriage for convenience.B. board the proper train you need.C. get on the train on time without delay.D. locate the right station of London Underground.35. The example of the GPS app in the last paragraph is to show that___________A. the GPS app plays a very important role in our daily life.B. the GPS app is the most popular one among people.C. the paper maps are no longer important and popular.D. some apps change our way of life and make life easier.第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分。
