Will Traditional TV Ever Be Replaced by Streaming?For a long time, people had to listen to the radio to get news, drama, and music at home. This all changed with the development of the television in the early 20th century. 36 Since then, British TV viewers have enjoyed the launch of commercial TV, the addition of Channel 4, and then Channel 5, and finally the birth of paid services through satellite and cable.A Slow DeclineWhile the uptake of TV ownership exploded, the decline of television's dominance has been slow and has been going on for the past decade. 37 Streaming services have given us access to more content than was ever possible, including back catalogues of classic shows and blockbuster movies.Changing Viewing HabitsIn the UK, adults are spending more time watching content on YouTube and streaming services than ever before. In 2018, these figures were 30 minutes and 26 minutes per day respectively. 38Still the King39 For example, in 2018 UK adults continued to watch BBC One for an average of 41 minutes per day, more than any streaming service.Average viewing time for all traditional TV channels continues to decline though, despite much larger quantities of original content being produced by these organisations. 40 While the traditional TV networks have seen a decline, the television set itself doesn't look like it's going anywhere any time soon.A. This has been the trend for the last couple of decades.B. The original content has included massively popular shows.C. Suddenly, we were able to see what was going on, not just listen along.D. The traditional TV channels are taking away audiences from streaming services.E. Most major TV channels have their own catch up streaming service.Fe While demand for streaming services is up, TV continues to be the most watched overall. G. Today, we have the power to watch whatever, whenever, wherever we want.第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)36—40 CGAFB山东省潍坊市2021届高三上学期期中考试英语试题第二节(共5小题;每小题2. 5分,满分12. 5分)阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

“I don’t want to see that cat in our yard again,” my husband said as he drove the beautiful cat back into the neighbor’s yard. “Cats aren’t like dogs, honey. They are very ind ependent and tend to move around wherever they please, especially if they are mousing,” I said. “Well, text our neighbor and let her know I don’ I appreciate her cat in our yard,” he insisted. Sighing, I sent off a quick text to our sweet neighbor, Cheryl, informing her of my husband’s dislike of cats. “I’ll do my best,” she replied sometime later, “but it’s kind of hard controlling where she goes when I let her outside.” The following morning, John stood at the picture window in our bedroom. He’d installed it so that I could watch the birds visiting our feeders.“You aren’t going to believe this,” he said. “Come look!” Slowly, I approached the window, praying Cheryl’s cat wasn’t in our yard. “Oh, my God!” I cried. Seated side by side, right in the center of our yard, were two enormous groundhogs (土拨鼠). We’d observed groundhogs before, especially since our back yard backs, up to a wooded area, but never, had they been as brave as these two. John raised the window, and the two raced into the woods. That evening, I happened to glance out the picture window. Then something caught my eye in. the flowerbed beyond. “John, come quick!” Hurriedly, he entered the bedroom just in time to see one of the groundhogs chewing on the flowers we’d planted around the water foun tain. “Why, it’ s eating every single blossom!”Again, John lifted the window, and the groundhog fled into the woods. “Hmmm, I better look up groundhogs on the computer and see just how destructive they can be.” Before he left the room, however, he saw something again. A groundhog was chewing our vegetables in the center of the garden. Across the yard, we’d planted a vegetable garden. We’d taken great pains to enclose the rows and rows of plants in chicken wire.注意:1.续写词数应为150左右;2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。

Clarify your program(s) of interest by phone.D. Contact the organizers on March 31.BEveryone has heard the phr ase, ''giving up is not an option”. Many disregard it and do not believe in it. But this small yet effective phrase gives a strong message. There will always be something that interrupts or causes inconvenience in the journey to achieve the dreams. But that should not drive one away from the path that they arc on. Fitting the context perfectly is the story of tan William.Popularly known as the “Social Golfer", Ian William is an accountant, lecturer, author, and a former golf player. He dreamed of playing golf at childhood. He would often observe players playing from a distance. He worked hard and changed his financial limitations. Then he began practicing in various golf matches. Due to his devotion and love for the sport, he picked up the techniques quickly and soon began playing as a professional. He also dreamed of participating in the Senior Golf Tour in the coining year.However, in 1996, Ian was diagnosed with a tumor (肿瘤)in the left part of his brain, which affected his hearing from the right side and damaged his balance nerve. He underwent two surgeries in 1997 with a smile and a hope to be cured. Although the surgeries were successful, Ian caught meningitis (脑股炎)while recovering from it. Apart from being hopeful and optimistic, there was no other way Ian could cope with the situation, Just as things had begun to normalize, in 2006, Ian's body was affected by a major stroke (中风), This stroke numbed the left side of his body. His life-long dream of participating in a golf tournament could not be fulfilled anymore.Ian took his time to recover and came back even stronger. He wanted to inspire millions with his journey and decided to share his experiences through a book. Ian has now published his 3rd book Still Crazy After All These Years in 2020.4. What docs the underlined word “that” in paragraph 1 refer to?A. The option.B. The message.C. The barrier.D. The dream.5. What can we infer from paragraph 2?A. William showed talent in golf as a child.B. The lack of money prevented him practicing golf at an early age.C. William's road to becoming a professional golfer was smooth.D. Talent and ambition made William learn quickly.6. Which of the following hclps William facc the ilnesss according to the passage?A. Doctors' comfort.B. Family's support.C. Advicc from the books.D Hope and optimism.7. What can we Icam from William's story?A. Move forward whatever happens.B. Larc wins over ilness.C. Seizc every opportunity to It at1.D. Luck favors rcady minds.CFor many Chinese consumers, a satisfying breakfast is one that includes either hot porridge (粥) or steamed buns (慢头).Cold sandwiches, which are usually popular with Westerners, are probably one of the last options on their minds. But that is not to say that consumers, especially those in an international city like Shanghai, would avoid everything considered Western for breakfast. For instance, coffee, which has steadily grown in popularity in the country, is one drink that many cannot do without today.To satisfy this growing demand for breakfast sets that combine elements from the East and the West, food companies have been rolling out a host of new offerings to attract the customer. One example is Shanghai Qiao Coffee, which was launched by local time-honored food company Qiaojiashan at the end of 2019. Apart from its traditional dim sum, the store also sells various types of coffee.According to Shen Yan, deputy manager of Shanghai Qiaojiashan Food Development Cold, the most popular breakfast set at the moment is the steamed vegetable bun paired with black coffee. “The calori es that one gets from a meal featuring Chinese dim sum and coffee are less than those of a Western breakfast. Since a steamed bun has nearly 200 calories and a cup of black coffee barely has any calories, this combination can be considered healthy and delicious," said Shen.Even the smaller shoppers in the food scene arc jumping on the East-West breakfast trend. Western food establishments, too, have been rolling out Chinese breakfast options. "Consumers and even cultural heritage will also benefit from the increased competition. If not for the current trend which has revived interest in certain traditional dim sum, these foods could soon be lost to history," Shen said.8. What can we leant about breakfast in Shanghai in paragraph!?A. People prefer porridge and steamed buns.B. Cold sandwiches arc a popular choice.C. People avoid western food for breakfast.D. Coffee is a must for many people.9. Why does the set of the steamed vegetable bun with black coffee sell well?A. Because it's newly launched.B. Because it contains more vegetables.C. Because it's traditional.D. Because it's tasty and healthy.10. What can we learn from Shen's words in the last paragraph?A. The competition for breakfast sets is of no benefit to consumers.B. Only big companies have the ability to seize the market share.C. Western food companies don't care about East-West breakfast.D. Some traditional foods might disappear without the combination trend.11. What docs the author intend to tell us?A. Chinese consumers show more interest in western food.B. Western breakfast is warmly welcomed by Shanghai people.C. The Chinese-Western breakfast set is becoming a hit in Shanghai.D. Shanghai Qiao Coffee has won great success for its breakfast sets.DIn 2019, more than 1.4 million young people around the globe took part in the School Strikes for Climate Action protests that were largely advocated by 17-year-old Swedish activist Greta Thunberg. The inspirational young Swede, while a media favourite, is far from the first or last young person to fight for a better environmental future.With the rise of social media in recent years, websites such as YouTube provide accessible coverage on ecological matters that quickly gather millions of views, and links to new scientific information arc easily shared between peers. But, it's not just online research that exposes the truth, and it's not a distant threat either. Climate change is happening around us as we speak; an increase of droughts and heatwaves means a loss of crop production and one and a half acres of forest is cut down every second.Of course, just because young people are now readily armed with statistics such as these doesn't mean all adults will eagerly listen to them. Many write off young activists simply due to their age, and others still aren't willing to see the environmental challenges we face, but that doesn't mean a difference can't be made.A study on participants aged 16-24 in the UN climate negotiations revealed that adults perceived younger activists as being more trustworthy due to the lack of financial incentives (刺激)to be there. Young activists often have an independent view of what's going on and, being free from politics, they often say what adults aren't willing to.So, it seems achieving a carbon neutral world in the fixture might depend on young determined voices inspiring experienced adults who can make a difference.12. Why is Greta Thunberg mentioned in the first paragraph?A. To show that the young activists are playing a part.B. To give an introduction to Greta Thunberg.C. To illustrate the seriousness of climate change.D. To arouse readers' interest in environmental protection.13. What does the underlined phrase "write off" in paragraph 3 probably mean?A. Consider unimportant.B. Take seriously.C. Give up.D. Write down.14. what does paragraph 4 focus on?A. The way young activists work.B. The advantages young activists have.C. The contributions young activists make.D. The views young activists hold.15. Which can be a suitable title for the text?A. Greta Thunberg: an outstanding activist.B. Climate change: a matter needing everyone's attention.C. The rise of social media makes ecological matters accessible.D. The young arc making a difference to the environmental future.第二节(共5小题:每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项.选项中有两项为多余选项.Shooting down an ice-covered track, a bobsled (大雪橇)can go faster than 80 miles an hour. 16 The answer is a combination of athletics and science.At the start of a race, the crews push their sled, building up speed before they jump in for the ride. For months before the race, the crew members have built up explosive power in their legs. That means doing a lot of jumps, and sprints (冲刺跑).It also means pushing heavy sleds! The push is the crew's only chance to add speed. 17 The design of the sled's runners (滑板} reduces their friction with the ice. 18 They may not melt enough ice fora fast ride. Runners that arc too rounded may become too warm, softening the ice and slowing the sled down.19 The rules state that all runners must be made of the same type of steel, and crews may polish them using only approved materials. Before each race, officials check the temperature of the runners. Runners may not be more than a few degrees warmer than the ice. 20But remember the sled must not be too fast ---- the crew still needs to be able to reach the bottom safely.A. Why do people go for the sport?B. Crews polish their runners for a fast ride.C. The riders sit inside a hard shell, called cowling (整流罩).D. How do bobsleds go faster than cars on a highway?E. A hot runner will melt more ice and may possibly go faster.F. Runners that arc too flat would spread the friction over a wide area.G. All other work goes into keeping other forces from slowing the bobsled down.第二部分语言运用(共两节,满分30分)第一节(共15小题:每小题1分,满分15分)阅读下面短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项.Devin Hinkston, 30, was driving through the town when he spotted a boy playing basketball in his driveway.

AThe Cool 2022 Travel DestinationsNational Geographic's new list of the most amazing places to visit in 2022, "Best of World 2022" is an inviting mixture of global destinations that will inspire your appetite for travel in the New Year.NatureOur global editors picked the planet's 25 most exciting destinations for 2022! There is really something to appeal to everyone.The best places to enjoy nature include Northern Minnesota, which offers skies filled with thousands of shining stars as it has little or no light pollution.AdventureOne of the inspiring adventure ideas is an invitation to cycle a new bike trail. The route of the Paris to the sea La Seine àVélo trail passes the house and famous water lilies (水仙) of Impressionist painter Claude Monet in Giverny.Culture and HistoryThis brand new 2022 list also celebrates several destinations recommended by UNESCO in honor of how UNESCO has been helping protect cultural and national treasures for 50 years.This selection of cultural centers takes in Procida, an island city located 40 minutes southwest of Naples by boat. This city, famous for its colorful buildings, plans to use its year to bring people a sense of community. Its year-long festival aims to encourage responsible travel throughout the year, and to avoid a crowd of visitors during the summer as happened in the past.FamilyThe best places for families include astonishing settings in the US and further away. One of these is Granada in Spain.At this palace, kids of all ages and their parents can appreciate the unique patterns and designs that promise “A colorful classroom for age-appropriate exploration of math concepts such as shapes, proportion (比例),and measurement”.1. Why does National Geographic offer the "Best of World 2022" ?B. To invite people to find amazing places.A. To attract people to enjoy delicious food.C. To explore the most exciting destinations.D. To increase people's interest in traveling.2. What is the. disadvantage of visiting the cultural centers in the past?A. It's, inconveniently located.B. There were too many people.C. Travelers were not responsible.D. Its colorful buildings faded away.B What kind of destination best suits children who are interested in maths?B. Adventure.A. Nature.C. Culture and History.D. Family.BWhen the disease first hit, nursing homes across the United States tried to proteet the neighbors. They shuttheir doors and banned visitors, leaving seniors separated from the outside world.16-year-old Hita Gupta thought that life wouldn't return to normal for a long time. To support lonely seniors and remind them of how much they're loved, she began delivering care packages to nursing homes in her town of Paoli, Pennsylvania.“When I received a call from the nursing home, I knew I needed to remind them that they aren't alone, and I did everything I could to make sure they knew that," Hita said.The teenager's efforts are a part of her non-profit organization Brighten A Day, which she organized in 2018to "spread joy to seniors, children in the hospital, and frontline workers."With the help of her 10-year-old brother, Divit Gupta, she has sent out almost 100,000 handwritten cards and packages - complete with puzzles, coloring books, and colored pencils - to nursing homes in countries including Ireland, Australia, and Canada.“The response has been so incredible," Hita said. “A lot of the seniors cry when they open the packages and read our notes. It's changing people's lives at a time when they need it the most."Many of the notes are written by Brighten A Day volunteers, who also make videos where they tell jokes, play music, read poetry, or sing. The pair and their volunteers call the seniors to make sure they have someone to talk to.“No one could imagine someone so young coming up with these ideas and delivering them to us across the country, but Hita found a way. Seniors do not feel forgotten or alone. Instead, we see their expressions of joy and gratitude knowing that someone out there is caring for them," a volunteer said.“What we do is to give hope and reminders that there were people out there that truly cared about them and their wellbeing," Hita said. "Brighten A Day really does brighten a day."4. How did the seniors in nursing homes feel when visitors were not allowed in?A. Quiet.B. Delighted.C. Comfortable.D. Lonely.5. What is the main aim of Hita's Brighten A Day project?A. To raise more money for nursing homes.B. To deliver love to seniors at nursing homes.C. To teach seniors to communicate effectively.D.

You may want to answer that spending time with your family, taking a vacation or driving a new sports car makes you happy but the key to happiness may be altruism(利他行为).Helping others may actually increase your happiness.According to Time Magazine, the greatest thinkers in the world have suggested that true happiness is found in helping others and now there is scientific research from a team of psychologists at the University of Missouri-Columbia to prove it.The researchers led by Liudmila Titova and Kennon Sheldon looked at whether pursuing happiness for others will actually make people happier. They found that it does.Two experiments were conducted by the team, according to Psychology Today. In the first experiment there searchers asked participants to recall a time that they tried to make themselves or another person happy. They were asked to write about the event and rate how happy it made them feel.In the second experiment, they were asked to remember a time they tried to make someone else happy and also write about how it made them feel. This experiment elicited a higher rate of happiness than the first."The results of these studies extend findings from previous research by showing that people gain more personal happiness from attempts to make other people happy- an approach that might seem unbelievable for a lot of people at first," researchers wrote in the study.But how does the research translate into real life? According to Time Magazine, find your passion. Give it to people or causes that move you and share your values. Whatever you do, the key is to finding an approach that works for you and let it come naturally. Remember that improving happiness is a benefit of helping others and not the goal.8. What makes people happy according to the first paragraph?A. Driving a new sports car.B. Travelling during a vacation.C. Offering generosity to others.D. Spending time with their family.9. How did the researchers prove their findings?A. By using examples.B. By making experiments.C. By clarifying a concept.D. By demonstrating facts.10. What does the underlined word "elicit" mean in paragraph 5?A. Produce.B. Improve.C. Display.D. Discover.11. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?A. Pursuing Happiness for Others CountsB. Sharing Your Values Will Make SenseC. Improving Happiness Benefits You MuchD. Helping Others Can Improve HappinessDA. green sea turtle(海龟)struggled to move in the cold water off the coast of Texas in the Gulf of Mexico.7hißwater was normally warm, but an extreme cold front from the Arctic swept the area, dropping the airf emiperature below freezing. The cold-blooded sea turtle became almost frozen: Its body stopped moving, and it couldn't get a breath of air. Without help, these sea turtles would have died underwater.A conservation group on South Padre Island was ready to help. On the first day of the storm, staff and volunteers from Sea Turtle, Inc., headed out on boats to rescue the sea turtles. They loaded them onto trucks and transported them to the organization's rescue center.The group usually rescued only about a hundred turtles on days when the weather briefly got cold. But this February storm was different: By the second day, volunteers had already pulled more than 600 frozen sea turtles from the water.Over the next five days, new sea turtles arrived during the daytime. At night, the volunteers wore headbands with flashlights to provide medical care in the dark building. They tried to keep the sea turtles clean while they were out of the water.Eight days after the storm began, the water was finally warm enough to release the sea turtles. About 30miles offshore, the boat stopped, and the workers put over 2,300 sea turtles back into the ocean.If the workers and volunteers hadn't rescued these sea turtles, none of them would have survived. “We were up all night, every night, and the release was exhausting, too," a volunteer said. "But it was worth it to watch those sea turtles go down the slides back where they belong."12. Why did the green sea turtles struggle to move in the water?A. They were about to sleep in winter.B. The water around was usually warm.C. They became trapped by fishing nets.D. A freezing cold front suddenly occurred.13. What does paragraph 4 mainly tell us?A. What kind of care the sea turtles received.B. Why the volunteers went to the dark center.C. How the volunteers looked after the turtles.D. Whether it was necessary to keep turtles clean.14. What may be the direct result of the act of releasing?A. More sea turtles will be born in this area.B. Many sea turtles had died before releasing.C. The volunteers had a sense of achievement.D. A lot of green sea turtles were finally rescued.15. What does this text want to convey?A. We should live in harmony with nature.B. Great things may be done by mass efforts.C. Nature is a mirror reflecting human activities.D. It is crucial to improve the habitat of sea turtles.第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

D.It has two main functions.3.What is the advantage of the Mixing Bowl Set?A.It is convenient to clean. B.It keeps steady when used.C.It helps you save a lot of money. D.It saves you time for cooking.BPerhaps thousands of people have searched for a bronze chest full of gold and jewels hidden in the Rocky Mountains between Santa Fe and the Canadian border hidden by a millionaire adventurer. At least four people died in their search for the treasure.But it's all over now. Fenn's Treasure has been found. The 89-year-old adventurer named Forrest Fenn, who created the treasure hunt, announced the news via his website. “I don't know the person who found it, but the poem in my book led him to the precise spot,” Fenn wrote. “The treasure was confirmed by a photograph the lucky finder sent me.”Forrest Fenn, the man who started the hunt, lives in Santa Fe. He was a pilot in the Vietnam War and later accumulated his wealth as a dealer in art and antiques. Fenn was diagnosed(诊断) with cancer in 1988 and had planned to die peacefully in the woods with his treasure. But when his cancer became less serious, he changed his plan, eventually writing the poem that described his dream resting place, which is where he hid the treasure. The poem appeared in a memoir called The Thrill of the Chase. Fenn said that the chest wouldn't be found by accident; only a treasure hunter who correctly interpreted the clues(线索) would find it.Several treasure hunters went missing while attempting to find the chest, including hunter Jeff Murphy and Mike Petersen, both of whom went missing in Yellowstone National Park in 2017. Fenn said that he had never been to the Yellowstone National Park, and that the treasure was not in a dangerous place. "It was in thethick forest of the Rocky Mountains and had not been moved from the spot where I hid it more than 10 years ago," Fenn wrote on his website. It is illegal to remove anything from a national park, which would cause trouble in legally claiming the treasure if it was found there.4.What contributed to the finding of the treasure?A.Fenn's announcement. B.A poem in Fenn's book.C.Fenn’s vivid description.D.A photo on Fenn's website.5.What is the third paragraph mainly about?A.Who Forrest Fenn was. B.Where Fenn hid the treasure.C.How the treasure hunt began. D.What Fenn did to find the treasure.6.What can we learn about "Fenn's Treasure”?A.It was in Yellowstone National Park.B.It was found by someone by chance.C.It was moved from one place to another.D.It was in Fenn's chosen resting place.7.What does the underlined word “claiming” in the last paragraph probably mean?A.Taking. B.Burying. C.Protecting. D.Acknowledging.CNot buying things can be difficult, even when you're determined not to. For many people, a no-buy year is simply a way of life because their financial situation leaves them no other choice. But for others—myself included—we have enough clothes, shoes, electronic devices, books, and so on. Yet, we continue to buy.If you're going to try a no-buy year, the first step is identifying why you're doing it. Is it to save money? Pay off debt? Have more money for experiences? To be more sustainable? Without a goal, failure is likely. I say this based on my experience.Last year, I wanted to take my sons on vacation where I could afford the rental and good meals. So I set a goal. That goal was not to buy anything I didn't need. A month before we went, I realized I needed to do more.I decided that I wouldn't spend money going out socially. I eventually reached my goal.After vacation, I went back to my regular spending habits. But I wonder what would have happened if I'd maintained the stricter habits. There are many experiences I would love to have—concerts and music festivals are at the top of the list. Yet, I often buy little things—like $20 shoes instead of tickets to concerts. If I could forgo those little things, I would probably go to a lot more concerts.I think the no-buy movement is something that would bring us some happiness. Still, it's difficult. Eventhough we're surrounded by things, we manage to convince ourselves that none of those things are the “perfect” things for our immediate need.I'm going to set another goal right now. That goal is to go to a big music festival at the end of the summer. To get there, I promise I won't spend money on the things I don't really need. Nowadays, I encourage you to spend some time thinking about what your goals are and how about buying nothing—or at least buying a lot less—can help you reach them.8.Why did the author not continue her social activities?A.To pay off her debt. B.To accompany her sons.C.To realize her sons' goals. D.To save money for their vacation.9.What does the underlined word “forgo” mean in Paragraph 4?A.Quit. B.Afford.C.Maintain. D.Rent.10.What does the author think of the no-buy movement?A.It is beneficial but hard to carry out.B.It shows the true meaning of happiness.C.It finds fault with current spending habits.D.It gives way to big music festivals and musicals.11.What would the best title probably be?A.The No- Buy Movement Is PopularB.Could You Handle A No-Buy Year?C.Financial Situation Affects What We Can BuyD.Do What You Like Even If You May Meet TroubleDThe area around Taal Lake on Luzon Island in the Philippines is known for its natural beauty. Tourism is popular there as travelers go there to see the scenery that surrounds Taal Volcano, one of the most active volcanoes in the country. It was quiet for years until January 12, 2020 when the volcano erupted. Since then, the cities surrounding the volcano have been covered with ash and many people are forced to leave home.But the ash didn't stop the residents of Binan, a city that is 35 km south of Manilla, from finding a way to help their neighbors in the towns that suffered the most from Taal. Binan Mayor Walfredo Dimaguila ordered the city residents to collect the ash and to put it in sacks (麻袋) to be sent to the state-owned factory that can produce 5,000 bricks a day to turn it into bricks to use for rebuilding damaged communities.“What we plan is to turn them into hollow blocks and bricks and sell them to interested companies,” Dimaguila said. But he noted, the money would be donated to the people directly affected by the volcano. “When Batangas (the region where Taal is located) is in recovery, the bricks can not only be used to build schools, community halls and livelihood centers but also help deal with ash pollution for the earth,” Dimaguila said. “The misfortune of our neighbors in Batangas is there. Let's transform this into opportunity.”The Philippines, located in the Pacific “Ring of Fire: zone of fire” and part of the typhoon belt, is a country that is known for natural disasters like earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and major storms. But the Filipino people show their strong will and community spirit.12.What has happened to Taal Volcano?A.It attracts more and more visitors. B.It becomes quieter and quieter.C.It is covered with ash completely. D.It causes bad effects on the locals.13.What are people advised to do according to Walfredo Dimaguila?A.To collect volcanic ash for recycling. B.To save sacks for factories to use.C.To set up a factory for making bricks. D.To build communities for people from disasters. 14.What can we infer from Dimaguila's words in Paragraph 3?A.Companies are expected to donate money.B.Bricks made of volcanic ash are popular.C.Batangas has been the most misfortune.D.Turning ash into bricks benefits the earth.15.What's the main idea of the passage?A.Taal Lake on Luzon Island is destroyed. B.Taal Volcano has enjoyed popularity.C.Disasters always hit the Philippines. D.The Filipino people turn ash into treasure.第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分, 满分12.5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。

While that may be true, some of the best things in Texas are quite small. Case in point: tiny Mount Vernon, a town of just under 3,000 people. But if you do come across Mount Vernon, you might just get an intention to stay. That happens a lot around here, and it’s worth noting how remarkable that is.Tom Wilkinson was born in Mount Vernon 87 years ago and moved back after he retired from his career as a college English professor in Dallas. Like many of his neighbors, Wilkinson can track his ancestors back to the pioneers who settled here in the 1870s. And like many, he values the simple life you can’t easily find in big cities. “Peo ple are still polite. They hold the door open for you.” he says, “We grow strong roots here!”Preserving and honoring the past has been key to helping Mount Vernon survive. The residents have restored and reopened some of the empty stores, including the old barbershop, built more than 100 years ago. An old general store was turned into a combination space. Wander in on any given day and you might find a book club discussion, a Coffee Ladies meet-up, or a work session for the local genealogy(家谱) group among the tables of people chatting over cups of coffee and plates of food.Mount Vernon has the kind of big hearts you tend to find in a small town. For instance, when a local policeman was diagnosed with cancer last year, ten-year-old Lola McKellar set up a lemonade stand to raise money for his treatments. In 2015, when a 350-year flood sent water rushing into local homes, an army of volunteers showed up to get a wheelchair-boundneighbor and his wife to higher ground, and then came back to help rebuild.4.What does the author think of Mount Vernon?A.Remote. B.Wealthy.C.Primitive. D.Attractive.5.Why did Tom Wilkinson come back to Mount Vernon?A.He preferred the simple and natural life. B.He could continue his language teaching. C.He could live together with his ancestors. D.He could meet more neighbors of his age.6.What can we infer about people’s way of life in Mount Vernon from Paragraph 3?A.It is in danger of extinction. B.It is quickly changing over time.C.It is conservative but harmonious. D.It is being disturbed by the outside world. 7.What is the last paragraph mainly about?A.The history of Mount Vernon. B.The humanity of Mount Vernon. C.The volunteers of Mount Vernon. D.The reconstruction of Mount Vernon.Andrew Orkin was taking a break from his evening jog to sit by Prospect Park Lake when he was frightened to see a mass of snakes. They turned out to be swamp eels(黄鳝) that had escaped from one of two large plastic bags that split open as a man dragged them to the shoreline. After dumping the eels in the lake, the man walked away, explaining to bystanders that “I just want to save lives.”The illegal release became a curiosity on social media, but the dumping of exotic(外来的) animals in urban parks isn’t n ew. New Yorkers free thousands of non-native animals every year. “People like animals and they sometimes think they’re doing a good thing by letting them go,” said Jason Munshi-South, an urban ecologist at Fordham University. “Most will die. Some will beco me a problem, and then there’s no going back.”New York state and city officials say it’s too soon to know how the eels in Prospect Park might affect local species. The eels eat almost anything including plants, insects, frogs, turtles and other fish. And they could prey(捕食) upon or compete with the park’s native species for however long they survive.There are no plans to eradicate the eels. Since they’re active at night and spend most of their time in the mud of lakes and rivers, spotting and removing them from the lake could be impossible. Officials say they will look for swamp eels during the agency’s next survey in thespring, but don’t expect them to make it through the winter. However, University of Toronto freshwater ecologist Nicholas Mandrak said, “Even if they don’t survive, they could have negative short-term effects.”8.Why did the man pour the eels into the lake?A.To challenge the law. B.To increase the local species.C.To keep the eels alive. D.To become a web celebrity.9.Why did the released eels become a concern?A.They might get caught once again.B.They might not adapt to the new environment.C.They might frighten the joggers by the lake.D.They might pose a threat to local species.10.What does the underlined word “eradicate” in paragraph 4 mean?A.Get rid of. B.Look after.C.Sell. D.Examine.11.What is the officials’ opinion about dealing with the problem?A.It is risky. B.It is tricky.C.It takes patience. D.It requires legal support.The scientists who re-engineered the plastic-eating enzyme(酶) PETase have now created a new enzyme called “cocktail” , which can digest plastic up to six times faster.PETase breaks down PET back into its building blocks, creating an opportunity to recycle plastic and reduce plastic pollution. PET is the most common thermoplastic(热塑性塑料) used to make single-use drinks bottles, which takes hundreds of years to break down in the environment, but PETase can shorten this time to days. The initial discovery set up the prospect of a revolution in plastic recycling, creating a potential low-energy solution to tackle plastic waste.Now, the same trans-Atlantic team have combined PETase and its “partner”, a second enzyme called MHETase, to generate much bigger improvements: simply mixing PETase with MHETase doubled the speed of PET breakdown, and engineering a connection between the two enzymes to create a “super-enzyme”, increased this activity by a further three times.The team was co-led by the scientists who engineered PETase, Professor John McGeehan and Dr Greg g Beckham. Professor McGeehan said: “Gregg and I were chattingabout how PETase attacks the surface of the plastics and MHETase chops things up further, so it seemed natural to see if we could use them together. Our first experiments showed that they did work better together, so we decided to physically link them. It took a great deal of work, but it was worth the effort — we were delighted to see that our new enzyme is up to three times faster than the separate enzymes.”The original PETase enzyme discovery indicated the first hope that a solution to the global plastic pollution problem might be within grasp, though PETase alone is not yet fast enough to handle the tons of PET bottles. Combining it with a second enzyme, and finding together they work even faster, means another leap forward has been taken towards finding a solution to plastic waste. PETase and the new combined MHETase-PETase both work by digesting PET plastic. This allows for plastics to be made and reused endlessly, reducing our reliance on fossil(化石) resources.12.What can we learn about “cocktail” from the text?A.It doubles the breakdown of plastics.B.It takes hundreds of years to break down.C.It contributes to breaking down plastic quickly.D.It deals with the plastic waste three times faster.13.What is the second paragraph mainly about?A.A new study of PET. B.The breakdown of PET.C.The discovery of PETase. D.The functions of PETase.14.What does the underlined word “It” in Paragraph 4 refer to?A.Co-leading the trans-Atlantic team. B.Combining PETase and MHETase. C.Attacking the surface of the plastics. D.Talking about conducting experiments. 15.What can we infer from the text?A.PET pollution is no longer a difficult problem to deal with.B.New enzyme is speeding up our reliance on fossil resources.C.MHETase-PETase makes the world free from plastic pollution.D.Plastic-eating enzyme “cocktail” promises new hope for plastic waste.二、七选五How to Reduce Gift Wrap WasteWrapping paper may have “paper” in its name, but that doesn’t automatically mean itcan be recycled. 16.Try these suggestions for cutting down the amount of wrapping paper you throw away.Reuse what you have. 17.It’s estimated that the U.S. produces 4.6 million pounds of wrapping paper annually, and 2.3 million pounds of that stays in people’s homes, awaiting reuse.Use different materials. 18.Select basic brown thick paper that can be made up with a bow, ribbons, leaves, pinecones or markers. Repurpose newspapers, old posters and children’s school artworks as wrapping paper. There are plenty of other eco-friendly alternatives to wrapping paper that are just delightful and celebratory.19.Use baskets, fabric, gift boxes or bags, tea towels, and more to contain and display your presents. Learn the Japanese art of wrapping, using beautiful knots(绳结) to fasten colorful, reusable fabrics in attractive ways. This way, you’ll have no wrapping paper wasteto deal with.Ask for better paper. Shops store what customers want, and recyclability should be a top priority, so let that be known when you’re out shopping. As explained by Simon Ellin, CEOof the Recycling Association, a trade body that represents about 90 waste management companies and paper merchants in the United Kingdom, “It’s a campaign we’ve been on all year — do you really need to design a non-paper wrapping paper? Make paper with recycling in mind!” 20.A.Try zero waste.B.Shop with that in mind, too.C.You d on’t have to choose shining paper to decorate a present.D.In fact, many types of wrapping paper cannot due to their materials.E.When wrapping paper is extremely thin, it has few good quality fibers for recycling.F.Wrapping paper can be used many times if care is taken to unwrap it without tearing.G.Having a mix of recyclable and non-recyclable papers is a real problem for companies.三、完形填空Last month, Koch went to make breakfast and found a(n) 21 guest usinghis pool.

AIf you have difficulty deciding on your book list, the following ideas shared by some great talents might help you out.Read books from eras past // Albert EinsteinKeeping up with current events and latest books from the bestseller list is a big job, but Albert Einstein thought it was vital to leave some room for older works, too. Otherwise, you’d be “completely dependent on the prejudices and fashions of your times,” he wrote in a1952 journal article.Don’t jump too quickly from book to book // SenecaSeneca, a first-century Roman Stoic philosopher, believed that reading too wide a variety in too short a time would keep the teachings from leaving a lasting impression on you. “You must spend much time among a limited number of master thinkers, if you would gain ideas which shall win firm hold in your mind,” he wrote.Shop at secondhand bookstores // Virginia WoolfIn her essay Street Haunting, Virginia Woolf described the benefits of shopping in secondhand bookstores, where the works “have come together in vast flocks of various feather, and have a charm which the carefully chosen books of the library lack.”According to Woolf, looking through used books gives you the chance to come across something that wouldn’t have risen to the attention of librarians and booksellers, who are often much more selective in building their collections than secondhand bookstore owners. redecorate old ideas; old books suggest and inspire new ideas.”1.Who held the idea that great works should be digested?A.

Valuable.BGuanmei, a 65-year-old woman of the Dong ethnic group, is the inheritor of the Grand Song of Dong (侗族大歌), a national intangible cultural heritage in China. Her hometown Zaidai Village in Guizhou, southwestern China, is home to the Grand Song of the Dong ethnic group.The Grand Song of Dong dates from more than 2,500 years ago. The way Dong singers use their vocal cords ( 声带) is different from how formally trained singers do. It is a folk chorus with multi-parts, no conductor, and no accompaniment. Organically growing from their natural surroundings, it is recognized internationally as “the sound of Nature.”Before the Dong people had a writing system in 1958,the Dong culture, their history and stories were all recorded by means of songs. As a Dong saying goes, “Rice feeds the body and songs enrich the soul”. The Dong people sing right from their childhood. While not singing, they a ll work in their rice field.Guanmei has been singing the Grand Song of Dong all her life, making her a famous singing teacher in her hometown and nearby areas. “The songs are our means of passing on wisdom, knowledge and life experiences to others. I will not exist in this world 100 years later, but Grand songs will. I’m honored to do this job, ” Guanmei said.Kind-hearted, Guanmei has been volunteering to teach the Grand Song of Dong to the Dong children for over 30 years. Now she has more than 300 students. Guanmei is pleased to see the village children come to her house willingly when they have free time.“Nowadays, more and more young people leave the village and settle in cities. Decades later, theDong children out of the village might know nothing about Grand songs. We should do something just now. It’s our mission. What is once lost might be lost forever,” added Guanmei.4.What makes the Grand Song of Dong known as “the sound of Nature”?A.The outstanding conductor.B.The special musical instrument.C.The attractive natural environment.D.The inspiration from nature.5.What can we know about the Dong ethnic culture?A.The Dong singers are professionals.B.The Dong culture before 1958 has been largely lost.C.Singing is of vital importance to the Dong people.D.They have a written language with a history of over 2,500 years.6.How does Guanmei feel about the future of Grand songs?A. Concerned.B. Sympathetic.C. Optimistic.D. Satisfied.7.What’s the author’s main purpose in writing the p assage?A.To call on young people to return to the Dong village.B.To guide the Dong children to learn the Grand Song of Dong.C.To show a woman’s efforts to keep the Dong culture alive.D.To instruct people to appreciate the Grand Song of Dong.COverly focusing on your goals may actually be counterproductive in the long run. Take it from an Olympic athlete.After Brenda Martinez, a US Olympic runner, lost her balance in the 800-meter run, she lost the race that would qualify her for the Olympics. Instead of focusing on her failure, she prepared to win in the next race. “The track doesn’t care about your feelings,” she told New York Magazine Intelligence. “You’ve just got to move forward.” She did indeed move forward and ended up winning third place in the 1500-meter race a week later to qualify for the Olympics in Rio. Instead of attaching herself to the goal of making the Olympic team, she concentrated on the process.Researchers from Harvard found that overemphasizing goals based on measurable outcomes often leads to risk-taking, improper behavior and reduced motivation.When you become overly focused on achieving the goal, you may lose sight of your original purpose for accomplishing the goal in the first place. Another danger is actually completing the goal without setting a plan for what’s next. For example, some marathon runners experience what’s called the “post-race blues”. Achieving your goal may cause you to drop the good habits that got you there in the first place.“After you set a goal, it’s best to shift your focus from the goal itself to the process that gives you the best chance of achieving it; and to judge yourself based on how well you manage that process,” columnist Brad Stulberg said.Ultimately, changing your mindset from goals to process will lead you to achieve small victories on your way to accomplishing long-term goals. It leaves you with a sense of satisfaction and accomplishment, regardless of the measurable outcome.8.What does the underlined word “counterproductive” in paragraph 1 mean?A. Influential.B. Harmful.C. Satisfying.D. Unpredictable.9.What does the writer want to tell us by referring to Brenda Martinez’s story?A.The ways to deal with failure.B.The process matters more.C.Determination means a lot for an athlete.D.The consequence of making the right decision.10.Why may some marathon runners experience the “post-race blues”?A.Because they are satisfied with their achievements.B.Because they haven’t gained what they want.C.Because they haven’t got a further plan.D.Because they lose sight of their original purpose.11.What does the last paragraph mainly talk about?A.How to set a long-term goal.B.The way to realize your aim.C.The benefits of fixing on the process.D.How to shift your focus from goal to process.DA master of words, a literary genius and a philosopher, Russian author Leo Tolstoy (1828-1910) is known by many as the greatest writer of all time. Even in 2020, 110 years after his death, his two greatest masterpieces, War and Peace and Anna Karenina, continue to be widely read, appreciated and highly influential.“If the world could write by itself, it would write like Tolstoy,” the Russian author Isaak Babel once said. Tolstoy’s realistic fiction is famous for its powers of observation and ability to min e the depths of human consciousness, such as the psychological exploration of a married woman in AnnaKarenina. In War and Peace, Tolstoy also describes Russia’s national soul and expresses public unity through his many characters. His characters feel alive; they grow, they change and they stick in the minds of readers long after the final page is turned.Tolstoy’s influence on literature is without comparison. Authors regularly mention his novels as their highest ambition, works that they could only dream of writing themselves. American writer Francis Scott called Tolstoy the “greatest of all novelists” in his essay. He wrote, “from his first words, we can be sure of one thing at any rate – here is a man who sees what we see, who proceeds, too, as we are accustomed to proceeding, not from the outside inwards but from the inside outwards.”“He defends fundamental values such as love, friendship and family relations. He gives positive answers to the questions mankind is asking. In this sense he gives more hope,” Tolstoy’s great-great grandson, Vladimir Ilyich Tolstoy, said.Tolstoy’s message of peace has even had an effect on the real world. He inspired the leader of India’s independenc e movement, Mahatma Ghandi, and his philosophy of non-violence over the course of a year in which they wrote letters to each other.12.What does the second paragraph intend to tell us?A.The writing style of Tolstoy.B.Tolstoy’s influence on other authors.C.The characters in Tolstoy’s works.D.The introduction to the greatest works of Tolstoy.13.Which words can best describe Tolstoy according to the passage?A.Humorous and caring.B.Determined and optimistic.C.Productive and hard-working.D.Insightful and peace-loving.14.How does the author introduce Tolstoy in this passage?A.By contrasting with other authors.B.By analyzing characteristics of his works.C.By quoting comments and opinions.D.By describing his deeds in life.15.Which can be the best title for the passage?A.Tolstoy and His WorksB.Tolstoy’s Life and AchievementsC.War and Peace: a Great MasterpieceD.Tolstoy: a Writer Beyond Comparison 第二节(共5 小题;每小题 2.5 分,满分12.5 分)阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。
