云南省2017届第一次省统测英语试题
省高三下学期第一次统测英语试题第Ⅰ卷第一部分阅读理解(共两节,满分40分)第一节(共15小题;每小题2分,满分30分)阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
AMy doorbell rings at 11 a.m.On the step,I find an elderly Chinese lady,She is small and slight.She holds a paper carrier bag in her hands.I know this lady.It is by no means her first visit.Her daughter,Nicole,bought the house next door last October. Nicole,who is currently in Shanghai,has apparently told her mother that I am having heart surgery shortly,and the result is that her mother has decided I need to be supplied with meals.I know what is inside the paper carrier bag-a stainless-steel container with a meal of rice,vegetables and either chicken,meat or shrimp.This has become an almost-daily occurrence.Communication between my benefactor(恩人)and me is somewhat handicapped by the fact that she doesn't speak English and all I can say in Mandarin is "hello".Once,she brought an iPad and pointed to the screen,which displayed a message from Nicole telling me that her mother wanted to know if the food was all right."Your mother just can't be bringing me meals like this all the time,"I protested.“I can hardly reciprocate by cooking something from my native land,like roast beef or Yorkshire pudding for her,”I said."Oh,no,"Nicole said."Don't worry about that.She has to cook for the family anyway,and she wants to do it for you.You can call her Wing,which is her surname."The tenant in my basement suite is a university student who speaks Mandarin quite well,so with her help,I have found out that Wing is 68-13 years younger than Iam-and that she lived through the Cultural Revolution.For my part, I was raised in wartime Britain.So here we are,two grandmothers a world away from where we were raised,neither of us able to speak the other’s langu age.But the doorbell keeps ringing and there is the familiar paper carrier bag,handed smilingly to me by Wing.Right now I am working on some more Mandarin words-it's the least I can do after such a display of kindness."Thank you"is,of course,the first one,which somehow seems inadequate.1.The author and Wing got to know each other .A.as next door neighborsB.when exchanging mealsC.by sharing similar experiencesD.after using an iPad to communicate2.The underlined word "reciprocate" in Paragraph 5 probably means .A.do as wellB.offer generouslyC.give in returnD.accept with pleasure3.The author's effort to learn Mandarin shows her .A.great satisfactionB.real kindnessC.heartfelt thanksD.sincere friendshipBIt’s not what you look at that matters;it's what you see.——Henry David Thoreau Slow Art Day is a global event with a simple mission: help more people discover for themselves the joy of looking at and loving art.Why slow?When people look slowly at a piece of art,they make discoveries.The most important discovery they make is that they can see and experience art without an expert.And that's an exciting discovery.It unlocks passion and creativity and helps to create more art lovers.How does it work?One day each year,people all over the world visit local museums and galleries to look at art slowly.Participants look at five works of art for 10 minutes each and thenmeet together over lunch to talk about their experience.That's it.Simple by design,the goal is to focus on the art.In fact,Slow Art Day works quite well this way.By the numbersOver l,200 individual Slow Art Day events have taken place since its official launch in 2010.Slow Art Day events have taken place on all seven continents.700 venues (museums,galleries,artist studios,sculpture parks,public an sites.etc.) have hosted Slow Art Day events.Participants love Slow Art DayFeedback on this simple event has been overwhelmingly positive.Here's a sample:“I loved taking the time to j ust 'be' with the works,particularly pieces I might otherwise walk by.It's a much better way of doing the art museum than the usual idle ramble.Discussion afterwards was fun,interesting,informative and eye-opening.I look forward to doing it again."Slow Art Day 2017 is Saturday,April 8,in museums and galleries worldwide.Join us and experience art differently.4.The author quotes Thoreau's words at the beginning to .A.arouse readers' interest in artB.introduce the topic of the textC.stress the importance of lookingD.illustrate the joy of art appreciation5.A typical slow art activity .sts about fifty minutes when people look at art works criticallyB.encourages people to see art for themselves and discuss with expertsanizes people to look at art on their own and talk about their experienceD.inspires people to make discoveries about art works and create their own works6.What can we learn about Slow Art Day from the text?A.The year of 2017 will see the eighth Slow Art Day.B.It happens once a year in all museums and galleries worldwide.C.It has become an art festival celebrated on all seven continents.D.Slow Art Day events have been held in over l,200 different places.7.According to the text,the author .A.has conducted a survey on Slow Art DayB.strongly recommends Slow Art Day eventsC.sees the good and bad sides of Slow Art DayD.is frequently involved in Slow Art Day eventsCGot big plans for Friday night?That's OK,we don't either.Guess we'll all have to make do by watching the celestial(天空的)show that will take place that night.First,there will be a full moon.That's always fun,but this one will be a little more special.It's known as a “snow moon.”The name comes from the fact that the heaviest snows usually fall during February,according to the Old Farmer's Almanac.But if that's not special enough,there's also an eclipse(月食)that night.It'll be a penumbral lunar eclipse, meaning it’s a partial eclipse that leaves sections of the moon darkened by the earth's shadow.No,it won't be as spectacular as those "blood moon" eclipses,It'll be subtler.The level of darkness it reached during the eclipse may or may not be apparent;it just depends on where you are when you view it.In North America,the eclipse begins at 5:34 p.m ET and ends at 9:53 p.m.ET,according to astronomy website EarthSky,The eclipse will be at its height around 7:44 p.m.ET. .If that's still not enough,let's throw in a comet(彗星)to the night's festivities.Comet 45P (it has a much longer name,but we won't burden you with it here) is visible as it flies by Earth.The comet will get within 7.4 million miles of the planet as it makes its closest approach this weekend,according to Universe Today.Comet 45P will be the most visible a couple of hours after the eclipse,so look to the skies again around 3 a.m.ET Saturday and find the greenish-blue light with a tail.And don't forget,a total big-time solar eclipse will streak across the United States on August 21st.8.According to the text,what can be viewed on Friday night?A.A blood moon.B.A total solar eclipse.C.A partial lunar eclipse.D.A comet without a tail.9.If you want to see Comet 45P,you will need to .A.wait around 7:44 p.m.ETB.stay up until 9:53 p.m.ETC.wake up before 3:00 a.m.ETD.start watching at 5:34 p.m.ET10.The author writes the text with the purpose of .A.introducing basic astronomy to the mediaB.sharing new discoveries with astronomy researchersC.promoting astronomical events among science studentsD. informing average readers of recent celestial phenomena11.Which can be a suitable title for the text?et 45P will be visible as it approaches the earthB.Penumbral lunar eclipse will happen on Friday nightC.Suggestions of fun scientific exhibitions for the coming weekendD.Eclipse,full moon,comet team up to put on a show on Friday nightDThe Super Bowl is the annual championship game of the National Football League (NFL).The game is the culmination(高潮)to a season that begins in the late summer of the previous calendar year.Normally,Roman numerals are used to identify each game,rather than the year in which it is held.For example,Super Bowl I was played on January 15,1967,following the 1966 regular season.The single exception to this rule is Super Bowl 50, which was played on February 7,2016,following the 2015 regular season.The next game,Super Bowl LII,scheduled for February 4,2018,will follow the 2017 regular season.The game was created as part of a merger(合并)agreement between the NFL and its then rival league,the American Football League (AFL).Currently,the Pittsburgh Steelers have the most Super Bowl victories,with six.The New England Patriots have the most Super Bowl appearances,with nine.The day (usually the first Sunday in February) on which the Super Bowl is played,now considered as an unofficial American national holiday,is called "Super Bowl Sunday".It is the second-largest day for U.S.food consumption,after Thanksgiving Day.In addition,the seven most-watched broadcasts in U.S. televisionhistory are Super Bowls.In 2015,Super Bowl XLIX attracted an audience of 114.4 million.Because of the high viewership,commercial airtime during the Super Bowl broadcast is the most expensive of the year,leading to companies regularly developing their most expensive advertisements for this broadcast.As a result,watching and discussing the broadcast's commercials has become a significant aspect of the event.In addition, popular singers and musicians including Michael Jackson,Madonna,Prince,Beyonce,Paul McCartney,The Rolling Stones,The Who,Whitney Houston,and Lady Gaga have performed during the event's pregame and halftime ceremonies.12.According to the text,in the Super Bowl .A.the New England

Recently Iwalked into the locker room of a rather well-known golf club after finishing a round. It was in the late afternoon and most of the members had left for their homes. But a half-dozen or so men past middle age were still seated at tables talking aimlessly and drinking more than was good for them. These same men can be found there day after day, and, strangely enough, each one of these men had been a man of affairs and wealth, successful in business and respected in the community. If material prosperity were the chief necessity for happiness, then each one should have been happy. Yet, it seemed to me, something very important was missing, else—there would not have been the constant effort to escape the realities of life through scotch and soda. They knew, each one of them, that their productivity had ceased (停止). When a fruit tree ceases to bear its fruit, it is dying. And it is even so with man.What is the answer to a long and happy existence in this world of ours? I think I found it long ago in a passage from the book of Genesis which caught my eye while I was looking through my Bible. The words were few, but they became memorably impressed on my mind. “In the sweat of the face shall you eat the bread.”To me, that has been a challenge from my earliest recollections (memories). In fact, the battle of life, of existence, is a challenge to everyone. The immortal words of St. Paul, too, have been and always will be a great inspiration to me. At the end of the road I want to be able to feel that I have fought a good fight, I have finished the course, I have kept the faith.8.Which of the following is indicated in the first paragraph?A. Wealth results from honest effort.B. The men seated at tables in the locker room are lost in the significance of life.C. For some people, no way can be found to escape the realities of life other than scotch and soda.D. The men acquire wealth by planting fruit trees.9. The underlined sentence “In the sweat of the face shall you eat the bread” means ________.A. Bread tastes delicious when sweat pours off your faceB. No pains, no gainsC. Failure is the mother of successD. Bread comes from the sweat on your face10. We learn from the passage that the author ________.A. was a wealthy person in the communityB. held a positive attitude towards an active lifeC. was fond of associating with celebrities (名人)D. kept a secret of the reason why he was so impressed11. What is implied in the passage by the writer?A. To use wealth properly, eat, drink and be merry.B. Where there is a will, there is a way.C. As life is but like a dream, a man is like a fruit tree.D. If you cease to struggle, you cease to live.DHaving a great collection of books at home doesn’t really mean that you are a person who loves reading. It may be got from your father or your father’s father, and it can just impress people around you with the fact that you are a person of culture.From my point of view, reading is very important in our daily life. For example, reading is a way of gaining knowledge in different areas. It can help us have a great imagination, and it makes things easier when it comes to making compositions on different themes. It gives you the possibility to speak about science, even if you don’t work in this field. You can express your opinions about a political event because you have read something about that.Secondly, reading gives us the possibility to enter the world of imagination. We can imagine what life will be like in the future. Sometimes, we compare ourselves with the people in the stories we read and they can give us some clues to solve the problems and tell us what to do in certain situations. Books are based on real life. Even if writers are considered to be somehow different from common people, they often face the same problems as we all do.In short, I would like to say that literature is the perfect way of enriching our culture, expressing correctly, having a rich vocabulary, being able to understand different fields and really being considered to be a learned person.12. In the author’s opinion, a person has many books at home only to _______.A. make his house look more beautifulB. show that his father is a learned personC. impress others with the fact that he loves readingD. show that he is rich enough to collect many books13. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the text?A. Reading a lot is good for writingB. Reading can help us gain knowledgeC. Reading can help us have a great imaginationD. Reading helps us enter the field of politics easily14. We can learn from the third paragraph that _______.A. people in stories are always unbelievableB. books may help us solve problemsC. writers are good at dealing with problems in lifeD. writers often have different experiences in life15. What can be the best title for the text?A. Why Is Reading Important in Our LifeB. How Can We Become a Learned PersonC. Different Reading, Different FunctionsD. Having a Good Collection of Books Means a Lot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。

delighted to introduce two of the most symbolic colors in China.Without doubt,the first one is red,a symbol of joy and celebration.Therefore,it is traditional for Chinese brides to wear a red wedding dress.In addition,white is conventionally associated with sadness,usually seen at the funerals.However,as time changes,white can also signify purity.That's why many brides wear white in their wedding ceremonies,as is often the case in your country.Hopefully my introduction to colors in China is of great value for your essay.Wish you all the best.Yours,Li Hua 第二节(满分25分)My face pressed against the window and I found it hard to breathe.The car pulled in front of the house,and out of it emerged my precious daughter,making her way up the steps.Tears stinging(使刺痛)my eyes,I threw open the door,pulled her inside and hugged her tightly.The dream was just too real and I could hardly believe I was now having my daughter in my hug.I wondered if it was because my pray was answered.Then through my blurred vision(模糊的视野)I saw a lady stepping out of the car.“Mom,she gave me a ride home."Becki said.“My car broke down on the highway and without her help,I would never have made it home in my high heels."she continued, exposing her blistered(起泡的)ankles.My heart shuddered(一想起就怕/担心/难受)at the thought of how painfully Becki staggered(踉跄)along the dark highway.She must be an angel for Becki!I approached the lady and invited her inside.Now,I was definitely grateful to her for extending a helping hand.听力原文Text1M:I’m going swimming in the lake on Sunday.Do you want to come?W:Isn’t it going to be cloudy?M:That doesn’t matter because it will be25degrees.W:OK.I went swimming last Saturday when it was raining.It was funnier than swimming on a sunny day!Text2M:Emma!What are you doing outside?Aren’t you enjoying the party?W:Parties aren’t really my thing.I’ll head home soon.M:I will go back too.I’ve got a meeting tomorrow morning.Text3M:Hello,Maria.W:Hi,Mike.Are you having your breakfast?M:No.I’m helping my dad move the furniture in my bedroom.Then we’re going to paint the walls.W:OK.I’ll send you a text later.Have fun painting.Text4M:Do you want to go to the concert this evening?W:Yeah.We could go and eat something first.M:All right.Why don’t I wait for you outside the bookstore at about six?W:OK.I’ll meet you there when I finish work.Then we can look for a cafébefore the concert.Text5W:That’s the first film I’ve seen with an interval.It was hard to work out what was happening and the break even made me forget the actors’names.M:Indeed.They kept playing the same song,but it added to the atmosphere.Text6W:How did your appointment go?M:Yeah,fine.They didn’t need to do anything.W:Great!So your eyes are all OK then?M:The sight test is next week,actually,Mum.I was having my teeth checked today.W:Oh,yes.Your dad made the appointments this time,so I couldn’t remember who you wereseeing first.He should be back from the doctor’s any minute.M:So are you making the dinner tonight?W:I am,and it’s your favorite—noodles.M:Great!Text7W:Ben.Did you see the program last night about the Olympic Games?It was brilliant.I learnt so much!M:Did you?I thought it was quite boring.In fact,I’m not really interested in sports programs.W:But you love sports.You play football and tennis and basketball and…M:Yes,I enjoy playing sports,but I hate watching them on TV.W:Oh,so what kind of TV programs do you like?M:To be honest,I don’t watch much TV.I prefer watching movies on my notebook computer.Text8W:What do you think of the airport?M:Well,it’s far from downtown and when the traffic is bad,it can take an hour and a half to get there.The city really needs to build a new airport that is closer to the city.W:Do you usually drive to the airport?M:No.I usually take the airport bus.It’s clean and comfortable,and it’s a lot cheaper than driving because you don’t have to pay for parking.But my wife prefers taking the subway.W:Is there much to do there while you wait for your flight?M:Sure.There are a couple of stores that sell souvenirs and magazines.There are also a couple of fast-food places and the service there is nice.W:How long does it take to check in?M:It doesn’t take long.They’re pretty efficient.Text9W:Hey Jack,can I ask you something?M:Sure,what’s up?W:Is something wrong with the system?I’ve been trying to get in for the past10minutes but it’s been kicking me out.M:It’s all fine for me.What do you mean,“kicking you out”?W:I’m putting in my password and it tells me the system’s offline.I’ve tried every single combination I can think of but nothing works.M:That’s strange.My computer’s been fine.Have you tried calling IT?W:I did,but no one picked up the phone.M:Oh,right,they’ve got a meeting right now—but you can interrupt them if it’s an emergency. W:I know.I just didn’t want to disturb others if it’s something simple.Besides,I’ve got a couple of phone calls to make today so I can make them now while I wait.M:They’d better be long phone calls,then.From what Tom told me,their meeting’s going to last three hours.W:Three hours!What sort of meeting is this?M:It’s that planning meeting about the factory they mentioned,isn’t it?Yeah,you’d better go and interrupt them.They’re going to be in there all day.Text10M:Selling your things online helps you get rid of those you don’t need,and it can also be a greatsource of income.One thing you need to consider carefully is the platform on which you are going to advertise. Most big platforms in the field are so popular with sellers,not just because they can give you access to a bigger pool of potential customers,but also because they offer insurance,both to the seller and the buyer.The disadvantage,however,is that you will need to pay some money for using the platform. You can use some platforms that either charge a smaller fee for advertising or even no fee at all—but,in that case,what you will need to keep in mind is your safety,especially if the value of the product you’re selling is high.It’s always best to meet the buyer during the day at a public place such as a coffee shop,a library,or a supermarket parking lot—anywhere monitored by security cameras is good.A few more things to keep in mind:always be accurate with your descriptions of the things you are selling.The last thing you want is to be accused of cheating and banned from the website. Moreover,be careful with your personal information:do not give out your full name and don’t give out your home address or cell phone number unless you have to,and have a separate e-mail address for selling online.Remember that a smart,prepared seller is a happy seller.。

Valuable.CPang Hui placed a few more pairs of chopsticks on the table for a family dinner, though shedid not expect her big family of seven would use them as serving chopsticks.Surprisingly, her 75-year-old father, who used to shrug off the idea of serving chopsticks, became a firm supporter this time, said Pang, 40, from Beihai, a coastal city of South China's Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region.Chinese people often share dishes, and diners use their own chopsticks to serve themselves food from the shared dishes, a tradition now being challenged by the outbreak of novel coronavirus.“We feel a sense of crisis as well as the urge to desert our old habits when we see reports of family infections," Pang said; pointing to the reports of the virus spreading via droplets (飞沫) and close contact.Local governments are helping to encourage a shift, too. On Feb 10, local authorities of Beihai started a campaign promoting serving chopsticks and spoons, which will avoid cross-infections caused by the use of personal chopsticks.Similar measures were also adopted in other cities like BeiJing, Shanghai and Hangzhou. Taizhou city in east China's Jiangsu Province even standardized the colours of serving chopsticks and spoons to help diners differentiate (区分) them from personal ones.The government is also targeting the practice of eating wild animals, which remains present in certain areas.China stopped the illegal trading and transportation of wild animals shortly after the outbreak. The move became a permanent ban on Feb 24, when the country made a decision on thoroughly prohibiting (禁止) the illegal trading of wildlife and the consumption of wild animals.Li Bo, with the Hainan International Center for Wildlife' Protection, said. wild animal consumption could lead to the faster extinction of particular species, damage the ecological balance and harm people's health.“The epidemic (流行病) could become a turning point to eliminate the bad habit," Li said.8. What can we learn about Pang Hu i’s family from the text?A. Usually more than seven people dine together.B. They have started to use serving chopsticks at table.C. Pang Hui’s father opposes using serving chopsticks.D. They don't know how to avoid being infected by the virus.9. According to the text, what has been done by the government?A. Sharing dishes has been abandoned.B. Cross-infections have been prevented.C. Eating wild animals has been forbidden.D. Standard personal chopsticks have been adopted.10. What does the underlined word "eliminate" in the last paragraph probably mean?A. Explain.B. Discover.C. Form.D. Remove.11. What can be the best title for the text?A. Serving Chopsticks PromotedB. Ways to Help People Stay HealthyC. Corona virus Leads to ChangeD. China Bans Trading of WildlifeDPeople who grow up left-handed have a different, more flexible brain structure than those bornto take life by the right hand, say researchers at the University of California, Los Angeles.The reason is that right-handers have genes that force their brains into a slightly more one-sided structure, according to the research. Left-handers appear to be missing those genes."There really is a difference in brains that results in a more symmetric (对称的) brain in left-handers, where the two sides are more equal," said Daniel Geschwind, who led the research team.In the effort to understand how the brain shapes the mind, researchers have been trying to document the way genes and environment affect intelligence and mental abilities. They found that right- and left-handedness is determined by genetics. If a person has the gene for right-handedness, that person will be right-handed. People who do not have that gene, however, can be either left- or right-handed. There is no specific gene for left-handedness.Right-handers typically have a larger left brain, where their language abilities are concentrated. Conversely, left-handers have more balanced brains. The language abilities of left-handers more often, are concentrated on the right side.The UCLA researchers conducted brain scans on 72 pairs of male identical (同卵双生的) twins between 75 and 85 years old. They noticed that if identical twins carry the gene for hand preference, both must be right-handed. If they lack the gene, one twin can develop right-handed while the other can develop left- handed.The researchers found that the brains of identical right-handed twins were very similar in size and structure. But when a left-hander was part of the twin set, the brains were different. The conclusion, researchers said, is that the absence of the gene for hand preference allows the brain to develop differently as the individual grows up.12. What is the finding of the researchers of UCLA?A. Left-handers have more balanced brains.B. Right- handers have more flexible brains.C. Left-handers' brains are more one- sided.D. Right-handers' brains are more symmetric.13. Which element determines a person's hand preference?A. Environment.B. Intelligence.C. Habit.D. Gene.14. What can be said about identical twins?A. They always have similar ,brain structure.B. They never carry the gene for hand preference.C. They have different genes for hand preference.D. They can have different hand preference.15. What did the UCLA team research on?A. People's genetic makeup.B. People's hand preference.C. People's brain sizes.D. People's communicative skills.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。

V aluable.CPang Hui placed a few more pairs of chopsticks on the table for a family dinner, though she did not expect her big family of seven would use them as serving chopsticks.Surprisingly, her 75-yerold father, who used to shrug off the idea of serving chopsticks, became a firm supporter this time, said Pang, 40, from Beihai, a coastal city of South China's Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region.Chinese people often share dishes, and diners use their own chopsticks to serve themselves food from the shared dishes, a tradition now being challenged by the outbreak of novel coronavirus."We feel a sense of crisis as well as the urge to desert our old habits when we see reports of family infections," Pang said, pointing to the reports of the virus spreading via droplets (飞沫) and close contact.Local governments are helping to encourage a shift, too. On Feb 10, local authorities of Beihai started a campaign promoting serving chopsticks and spoons, which will avoid cross-infections caused by the use of personal chopsticks.Similar measures were also adopted in other cities like Beijing, Shanghai and Hangzhou. Taizhoucity in east China's Jiangsu Province even standardized the colours of serving chopsticks and spoons to help diners differentiate (区分) them from personal ones.The government is also targeting the practice of eating wild animals, which remains present in certain areas.China stopped the illegal trading and transportation of wild animals shortly after the outbreak. The move became a permanent ban on Feb 24, when the country made a decision on thoroughly prohibiting (禁止) the illegal trading of wildlife and the consumption of wild animals.Li Bo, with the Hainan International Center for Wildlife Protection, said wild animal consumption could lead to the faster extinction of particular species, damage the ecological balance and harm people's health."The epidemic (流行病) could become a turning point to eliminate the bad habit," Li said.8. What can we learn about Pang Hui's family from the text?A. Usually more than seven people dine together.B. They have started to use serving chopsticks at table.c. Pang Hui's father opposes using serving chopsticks.D. They don't know how to avoid being infected by the virus.9. According to the text, what has been done by the government?A. Sharing dishes has been abandoned.B. Cross-infections have been prevented.C. Eating wild animals has been forbidden.D. Standard personal chopsticks have been adopted.10. What does the underlined word “eliminate” in the last paragraph probably mean?A. Explain.B. Discover.C. Form.D. Remove.11. What can be the best title for the text?A. Serving Chopsticks PromotedB. Ways to Help People Stay HealthyC. Coronavirus Leads to ChangeD. China Bans Trading of WildlifeDPeople who grow up left-handed have a different, more flexible brain structure than those born to take life by the right hand, say researchers at the University of California, Los Angeles.The reason is that right-handers have genes that force their brains into a slightly more one- sided structure, according to the research. Left-handers appear to be missing those genes.“There r eally is a difference in brains that results in a more symmetric (对称的) brain in left-handers, where the two sides are more equal," said Daniel Geschwind, who led the research team.In the effort to understand how the brain shapes the mind, researchers have been trying to document the way genes and environment affect intelligence and mental abilities They found that right- and lf-handedness is determined by genetics. If a person has the gene for right-handedness, that person will be right-handed. People who do not have that gene, however, can be either left- or right-handed. There is no specific gene for left-handedness.Right-handers typically have a larger left brain, where their language abilities are concentrated. Conversely, left-handers have more balanced brains. The language abilities of left-handers more often are concentrated on the right side.The UCLA researchers conducted brain scans on 72 pairs of male identical (同卵双生的) twins between 75 and 85 years old. They noticed that if identical twins carry the gene for hand preference, both must be right-handed. If they lack the gene, one twin can develop right-handed while the other can develop left- handed.The researchers found that the brains of identical right-handed twins were very similar in size and structure. But when a left-hander was part of the twin set, the brains were different. The conclusion, researchers said, is that the absence of the gene for hand preference allows the brain to develop differently as the individual grows up.12. What is the finding of the researchers of UCLA?A. Left-handers have more balanced brains.B. Right-handers have more flexible brains.C. Left-handers' brains are more one-sided.D. Right-handers' brains are more symmetric.13. Which element determines a person's hand preference?A. Environment.B. Intelligence.C. Habit.D. Gene.14. What can be said about identical twins?A. They always have similar brain structure.B. They never carry the gene for hand preference.C. They have different genes for hand preference.D. They can have different hand preference.15. What did the UCLA team research on?A. People's genetic makeup.B. People's hand preference.C. People's brain sizes.D. People's communicative skills.第二节(共5小题,每小题2分澜分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。

But one of those people shouldn't be mistaken for a resident-he's 92-year-old Jerry Schneider, a volunteer.He first visited Hebrew Home in 2007, when his wife was diagnosed with cancer and went there for care. "I would see her every day and wheel her around," Schneider said. "We used to see a lot of lonely people and my wife said, "You know, later on, you ought to volunteer." At first, Schneider didn't think he'd return to volunteer. He thought his wife would recover and come home, but she, unfortunately, passed away. Then, a few years later, Schneider's son reminded him about his wife's suggestion. So, eight years ago, he signed up to visit seniors at the nursing home."He comes usually every Tuesday," Oscar who was born in 1932 told CBS News during Schneider's weekly visit "See, I don't have good eyesight, so sometimes he reads to me. But mostly, we chat back and forth." Schneider told CBS News that's what most of the residents are looking for-a friend to chat with. He admits that it may be unusual to see a volunteer old enough to live at Hebrew Home. But Schneider is happy to be that for them. His friendship has changed Oscar for the better. Schneider said his friend used to be quite introvert, but now he looks forward to their chats.For Schneider, the visits help him, too. "This gives me a little extra life. I am meeting people here, talking. Otherwise, I'd have no one to talk to at home," the New York native said. "I mean, I look at myself, and I say, "If you can make it here, you can make it anywhere.”4. Why does Schneider volunteer at the nursing home?A. He was inspired by his wife.B. He could wheel his wife around.C. He has a lot of friends there.D. His son told him to do so.5. What can we learn from the passage?A. Schneider's wife died from heart attack.B. It is common for a 92-year-old man to volunteer.C. Oscar is 4 years younger than Schneider.D. What Schneider mainly does is to communicate with the seniors.6. What does the underlined word in the third paragraph mean?A. Humorous.B. Talktive.C. Shy.D. Easy-going.7. What does the author want to tell us?A. A friend in need is a friend indeed.B. The roses in her hand, the flavor in mine.C. East or west, home is the best.D. God help those who help themselves.CVisitors flooded to the National Museum of China, as 600 long-lost Chinese relics returned to China, including bronze animal heads stolen from the Old Summer Palace, are on exhibit together for the first time to celebrate the 70th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China(PRC). Many web users also expressed eagerness to visit the exhibit during the National Day holidays, saying they were excited to see the long-lost relics. The most popular relics are the 12 bronze animal heads representing the Chinese zodiac(十二生肖).Over 600 cultural relics from 13 provinces and cities and 18 museums and cultural institutions nationwide are on display, the National Cultural Heritage Administration said in a statement sent to the Global limes on September 17.This is the first time China has carried out overall display of the country's history of lost cultural relics recovered since 1949, including Chinese pottery, bronze ware, paintings and calligraphy, the statement said.Feng Shengyi, who majored in cultural relics studies at Beijing University, said the return of more long-lost relics demonstrates Chinas development, Chinese people's love for the country and enthusiasm to protect relics and culture. Guan Qiang, director of the administration, told the Global Times. “Each recovery is difficult due to its complexity and historical issues, so we need to combine different ways to recover the relics, such as negotiations, donations, rescue work and commercial purchases.”China has built a database of stolen cultural relics and is planning to expand it, Guan said, noting that they would digitize cultural relics, especially fragile ones, and let more people around the world discover the charm of Chinese culture. The Chinese Government has signed agreements with more than 20 countries, including the US, Italy and Switzerland, on the recovery of cultural relics and the establishment of cooperation system.8. Which relics would attract the visitors most?A. Chinese pottery.B. Bronze WareC. Bronze animal heads.D. Paintings and calligraphy.9. What can we say about the recovery of lost relics?A. Ordinary.B. Challenging.C. Expensive.D. Charming.10. What does China aim to do in the future?A. Make digital copies of cultural relics.B. Hold more exhibitions.C. Build a database of stolen cultural relics.D. Discover the attraction of Chinese culture.11. What is the purpose of this text?A. To celebrate the 70th anniversary of the founding of PRC.B. To introduce the exhibition of long-lost relics.C. To show China's development.D. To arouse people's love for China.DSome good news for nap lovers-a new study has found that a daytime nap taken once or twice a week could lower the risk of heart attacks or strokes.Researchers from the University Hospital of Lausanne, Switzerland studied the link between napping frequency and duration and the risk of fatal and non-fatal disease. Tracking 3,462 people between the ages of 35 and 75 for just over five years, the researchers found that those who are addicted to occasional napping一once or twice a week, for between five minutes to an hour-were 48% less likely to stiffer heart attack, stroke or heart failure than those who did not nap at all.The observational study, which was published in Heart, the journal of the British Cardiovascular Society, found that no such association appeared for greater frequency or duration of naps. While some studies have been done on the impact of napping on heart health, many published studies fail to consider napping frequency or duration, the researchers said.Naveed Sattar, Professor of Metabolic Medicine at the University of Glasgow, said that while the study was "somewhat interesting", it seems that those who nap once or twice a week have healthier or organized lifestyles, but that those who napped daily were likely to be more sick."This means the former pattern of occasional napping is on purpose and the latter of napping likely represents illness linked to poorer lifestyle. This would then explain the different risks," Sattar told the SMC. "I don't think one can work out whether "intentional" napping on one or two days per week improves heart health, so no one should insist that napping is a way to lessen their heart attack risk," he added. "For now, far better to aim forregular good night's sleep and to follow usual lifestyle advice of good diets and decent activity levels."12. How did the researches draw their conclusion?A. By doing experiment.B. By doing survey.C. By building up models.D. By observing people.13. What's the difference between previous studies and the new study?A. Influence of napping on heart health.B. Link between nap and risk of heart attacks.C. Napping frequency or duration.D. Napping frequency and lifestyle.14. What might happen to those who napped daily?A. More illness.B. A healthy body.C. A healthier heart.D. Proper lifestyle15. What may Sattar agree with?A. Everyone should have regular nap twice a week.B. The more naps, the better.C. If you can have naps, regular night's sleep is unnecessary.D. Live a healthy life by good diets and doing exercises.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。

Tracking 3,462 people between the ages of 35 and 75 for just over five years, the researchers found that those who are addicted to occasional napping一once or twice a week, for between five minutes to an hour-were 48% less likely to stiffer heart attack, stroke or heart failure than those who did not nap at all.The observational study, which was published in Heart, the journal of the British Cardiovascular Society, found that no such association appearedfor greater frequency or duration of naps. While some studies have been done on the impact of napping on heart health, many published studies fail to consider napping frequency or duration, the researchers said.Naveed Sattar, Professor of Metabolic Medicine at the University of Glasgow, said that while the study was "somewhat interesting", it seems that those who nap once or twice a week have healthier or organized lifestyles, but that those who napped daily were likely to be more sick."This means the former pattern of occasional napping is on purpose and the latter of napping likely represents illness linked to poorer lifestyle. This would then explain the different risks," Sattar told the SMC. "I don't think one can work out whether "intentional" napping on one or two days per week improves heart health, so no one should insist that napping is a way to lessen their heart attack risk," he added. "For now, far better to aim for regular good night's sleep and to follow usual lifestyle advice of good diets and decent activity levels."12. How did the researches draw their conclusion?A.
