A very good friend of mine approached me with an offer. “I’m going to let this job go and I was wondering if you would like to take it over?”“That would be great,” I replied.So I went to talk with the manger and he said, “You can start on Monday morning.”On Monday morning, I appeared for work extremely early. I was ready to do my best. When I went inside, I was told that I would be buffing the floors. My friend was there to show me how to operate the buffing wheel.I took the handles suddenly with a “ no problem” attitude and gave it some gas. To my surprise, the buffing wheel moved in a sudden and quick manner around in a big circle, running over my friend’s new pair of boots and making him fall on the ground.Several times, I tried to run it again but failed. “What am I going to do?” I thought to myself. “I finally find a job but I can’t do it. Am I going to have to tell them I have to leave?”After several hard days of buffing, I finally made up my mind that I was going to do this. For about a week, I struggled with the buffing wheel, putting all my weight and strength into it. Eventually, I learned the trick was not to struggle with it all, just go with the flow of it, and by the second week, I was showing off and running it with one hand.Michael Jordan said, “ Obstacles(障碍)don’t have to stop you. If you run into a wall, don’t turn around and give up. Find out how to climb it, go t hrough it, or work around it.”41. What would be the best itle for the passage?A. Never give upB. Practice makes perfectC. Rome was not built in a dayD. Failure in the mother of success42. The author accepted the job offered by his friend because___A. he liked jobs of difficultiesB. it was really a well-paid jobC. he was short of moneyD. it was really an easy job to do43. The first time the author tried the buffing wheel, he __.A. found it fun to operateB. almost lost control of itC. could make it run in a good conditionD. he hurt his friend44. According to the passage, what happened to the author at last?A. He gave up the job.B. He managed to deal with his job.C. He continued the job with the help of his friend.D. he had much difficulty in his job.BYou can pick your friends, but you can’t pick your co-workers. Yet you need these people in more ways than one. You need their cooperation in order to pe rform your own job well. You don’t have to be friends with your co-workers, but you do need to be friendly. Extending an olive branch can make your work environment a much nicer place.Do you rush into the office, eyes down and immediately start work? I f so, you’re likely to find that co-workers don’t pay attention to you or avoid you. Give a happy “Hello” as you arrive in the morning. It’s really surprising how fast this little polite behavior can remove unfriendly workplace relations.Learn the art o f small talk, such as “John, I saw this article about that singer you like,” or, “Mary, you like to draw, don’t you? I found this great new drawing room not too far from here, and thought of you right away.” Showing an interest in them will make them feel comfortable around you. Accept kind teasing. Co-workers sometimes play jokes and tease to test what kind of person you are. So if they make fun of your new shoes, don’t get angry. Let them know that you love a good joke. Of course, if the teasing is personal (about your weight or salary, for example) or makes you feel uncomfortable, you may need to take up the matter with your supervisor.People love to be asked about their opinions, so go out of your way to ask, “How do you think I should handle this situation with customer X? Then give the advice giver a sincere thank-you, even if the ideas are less than helpful.45. What does the underlined part “Extending an olive branch” probably mean?A. Giving in to your co-workers when the disagreement happens.B. Following your co-workers’ orders during the work.C. Showing a friendly attitude towards your co-workers.D. Giving your co-workers help when they are in trouble.46. The example given in the third paragraph show that you ____ to improve your relationship.A. should develop the same interest as your co-workersB. can talk with your co-workers about their interestC. should ask your co-workers to solve your problemsD. can spend your working time talking with your workers47. According to the passage, some workers play a joke on you in order to ___.A. let you notice themB. show you their interestC. show the relationship is closeD. learn about character48. What is the purpose of the passage?A. To show the importance of good relationship with co-workers.B. To advise you on how to improve you working performances.C. To advise you on how to develop good co-worker relations.D. To advise you on how to make friends with your co-workers.CWhat makes a house a home?Not size, of cour se. I’ve been in some of the grandest houses in America, and it’s really clear no one lives there. Earlier this year, I had dinner in a mud hut in Ethiopia(埃塞俄比亚), where we sat on chairs next to the hostess’s bed—a home that had more warmth than any house I’ve been in since.Now John Edwards is exploring what makes a house a home in his just-released “Home: The Blueprints of Our lives”. There Edwards writes, “This is a book about homes, the values they rest on, the dreams they are filled with, the people they have shaped. The houses and circumstances(环境) are different, but much of what you find inside will be familiar.Whether you’re sitting in an airport right now, waiting to fly to your childhood home for Thanksgiving, or in your own home waiting for the r elatives to arrive, you know what he’s talking about.We’ve lived in our townhouse for 21 years. The loose windows make noise in the wind. The fireplace is so shallow it holds only one log(木头). The kitchen widow offers a view of the world passing by. It’s where friends sit on the kitchen counter drinking wine while dinner is being fixed. I lived there for only 18, but it will always be my true home. Even the lamp in the west living room window, which I could see far down the road when driving home late at night, still shines.While all this talk about childhood memories can be warm and comforting, home is whom you’re with, not where you are. As Edwards writes, “Home is family. Home is safety. Home is faith.”Happy homecoming.49. What would be the best title for the text?A. Home Means Everything.B. What’s Inside Makes Us Feel at Home?C. Home: The Blueprints of Our Lives.D. The Importance of Home.50. About the book “Home: The Blueprints of Our Lives”, we know that____A. i t is the description of Edwards’ houseB. it is mainly about housesC. it helps us understand the concept of homeD. it is written by the author of the text51. What did the author mainly mean when he mentioned the loose windows and the shallow fireplace?A. His house was too old to live in.B. He missed the feelings of home.C. He hated living here.D. He missed his old friends too much.52. It can be inferred according to the text that____A. the author’s family were very richB. every happy home is the sameC. the author has been living a hard lifeD. the author and Edwards hold similar ideas.DColors often appear in Americans’ everyday talks. Red is a hot color and it is often used to express heat or strong feelings like anger. Americans may say they are red-hot about something unfair. However, people will also use it in other cases. For example, fast loud music is popular with many people. They may say the music is red-hot. Blue is a cool color. The traditional Blues Music in the US is slow, sad, and sorrowful. Pink is a lighter kind of red. People sometimes say they are in the pink when they are in good health. It probably comes from the fact that many babies are born with a nice pink color that shows they are in good health.The color green is natural for trees and grass. But when it is for humans, it is different. A passenger on a boat who is feeling very sick from high waves may look very green. Sometimes a person may be upset because he do esn’t have something so nice as a friend has, like a fast new car. That person may say he is green with envy. The color black is used to describe a day in which everything goes wrong. The day of a major tragedy is remembered as a black day.In some cases, colors describe a situation. Brownouts happen when there is too much demand for electricity. The electric system is unable to offer all the power needed in an area. Lights will not be bright enough in this case. Blackouts were common during World WarⅡ. Officials would order people in a city to turn off their lights to make it difficult for enemy planes to find a target in the dark of night.53. How many colors are mentioned in the passage?A.4B.5C.6D.754. If a person says he is red-hot about something unfair, it means that______.A. he is very angry about itB. he doesn’t care about itC. he is very sad about itD. he is deeply hurt by it55. What is the main purpose of this passage?A. To show the differences between different colors.B. To explain some Americans’ everyday talks based on colors.C. To explain that colors can be used to express different feelings.D. To let readers have a better understanding of colors.EPeople often talk as if shyness is a disease or mental condition that can be cured. I prefer to think of it as an emotional disability. It’s something we are born with and something we carry with us in our entire lives. There are too many people, however, who seems to be determined to find some way of doing away with their shyness. In my opinion, it’s a waste of time. I don’t mean thatwe should do nothing about it; quite the contrary, I think we need to separate the basic fact of our shyness from our ability to take part in a social environment.Look at one of the most famous shy people of them all, Johnny Carson. This man is painfully shy, yet for decades he made a living talking and associating(交往)with different people every night, in front of a national audience. Carson has never done away with his shyness, but he successfully found a way to deal with it to the extent that he could be, not just a talk show host, but a legend(传奇)among talk show hosts. Look also at Sally Fields, who has recently admitted her problem with shyness. This is a woman who has appeared in many films, TV shows and interviews, yet in her early years she was so shy that she turned out a lunch invitation from Jane Fonda because she was terribly afraid of meeting her.I guess that our shyness is there because each of us is born with some insecurity (安全感) and this insecurity prevents us from reaching out to others the way people with a more open personality do. As we grow up and become adults, we allow our social skills to grow and develop. But we are still stuck in kindergarten or elementary school or wherever it was when our shyness took root in our soul.56. In the author’s view, shyness can be explained as_____A. a disease that can be easily curedB. a not very normal mental conditionC. an emotional disabilityD. something we pick up after birth57. The author believes it’s a waste of time to _____A. develop a healthy personalityB. talk with as many people as possibleC. study where shyness comes fromD. look for ways to do with one’s shy ness58. Which of the following is TRUE of Johnny Carson?A. He dared to speak in front of a national audience.B. He did away with his shyness carefully.C. He was described as a hero in some legend books.D. He failed to become a good talk show host.59. The passage tells us that Sally Fields was___A. proud all the timeB. impolite when youngC. shy in her early yearsD. close to Jane Fonda60. The author thinks that our shyness is there because____A. we are not open enoughB. we don’t feel secure at heartC. we try to reach out to others all the timeD. we lack some social skills第二节根据对话内容, 从对话后的选项中选出能填入空白中的最佳选项.---Can I help you?---Yes, I’m looking for a sweater.---____61_____---I’m an extra large.---____62_____---Yes, that’s nice. ___63____---Certainly, there is a changing room over there.---Thank you.---____64_____---It’s too large.

It may sound strange, but a study suggests this might be true.Two British scientists studied the results of four sports in the 2004 Athens Olympic Games where the athletes had been given either a red or a blue uniform. They discovered that when there was a big difference in the score, color had no influence on the result. But if it was a close match, the athlete in a red uniform was more likely to win. Then they looked at the uniforms of the soccer teams at the Euro 2004 tournament (锦标赛). Again, teams wearing red won more games.The two scientists got their idea from earlier studies of wild animals. It had been discovered that when a male shows red on its body, it sends a signal of its power and strength. For example, in many kinds of monkey, the more the male shows off its red scars (伤疤) , the more females it can attract.Based on this fact, the British scientists thought that the idea might work for humans, too. According to them, when an athlete sees a competitor in a red uniform, he gets a feelin g that he couldn’t be stronger than his competitor. And that kind of feeling may have a bad influence on the player’s performance in the actual game.Although the idea is interesting, most people don’t accept that color signals in the animal world can real ly be useful to humans in sports. They think that it is unreasonable to develop an idea based on such a small number of examples. Much more research has to be done to prove the influence of uniform colors on the performance of athletes.4. What did the scientists find out about the 2004 Athens Olympic Games?A. Athletes dressed in red scored more in a close match.B. Game results had a big influence on the athletes.C. Athletes played equally well in four sports.D. There was a big difference in red and blu e teams’ scores.5. The underlined part “that kind of feeling” in the text refers to a feeling of .A. dangerB. shameC. prideD. weakness6. What is most people’s attitude towards the scientists’ idea?A. Interested.B. DoubtfulC. SatisfiedD. Grateful.CEverybody hates rats. But in the earthquake capitals of the world-Japan, Los Angeles, Turkey-rats will soon be man's new best friends.What happens after an earthquake? We send in rescue dogs. Why? Because they can smell people. Dogs save lives. They help rescuers to find living people. But dogs are big and they can't get into small spaces. So now a new research project is using a smaller animal to save lives: the rat.How does it work? First，the rat is trained to smell people. When this happens, the rat's brain gives a signal. This is sent to a small radio on its back, and then the rescuers follow the radio signals. When the rat's brain activity jumps, the rescuers know that someone is alive. The rat has smelled that person.Although there are already robots which can do this job, rats are better. Christian Linster at Cornell University-New York says, “Robots' noses don't work well when there are other smells around. Rats are good at that.” Rats can also see in the dark.They are cheaper and quicker to train than dogs, and unlike robots, they don't need electricity!The “rat project” is not finished, but Julie Ryan of International Rescue Corps in Scotland says, “It would be fantastic. A rat could get into spaces we couldn't get to and a rat would get out if it wasn't safe.” Perhaps for the first time in history, people will be happy to see a rat in a building (but only after an earthquake, of course).7. In the world earthquake capitals, rats will become man's best friends because they can ______.A. take the place of man's rescue jobsB. find the position of people alive who are trapped in buildingsC serve as food for people alive who are trapped in buildingsD. get into small spaces8. From the third paragraph we know the rescuers can judge a person is alive by ________.A. the noise made by the ratB. the rat's unusual behaviorC. the signal sent by the radio on the rat's backD. the smell given off by the person9. In doing rescue jobs, ________.A. rats smell better than dogsB dogs don't need to be trained to smell peopleC. robots' sense of smell can be affected by other smells aroundD. rats can not see in the dark10. After reading the passage we can know .A. nowadays rats have replaced dogs in searching for peopleB. the “rat project” has been completedC. people are now happy to see a rat in a buildingD. at present people still use dogs and robots in rescues第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，共10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

Let’s have a look at four of them, which may give you some advice on your next travel plan.Huangshan MountainHuangshan, known as “the loveliest mountain of China”, lies in the south of Anhui Province in eastern China. The scenic spot covers 154 square kilometers, and is famous for its peaks, rocks, pines, clouds and springs. It also has a rich cultural heritage.Longmen GrottoesThe Longmen Grottoes lies in the south of Luoyang city, Henan Province. It includes the largest collection of Chinese art of the late Northern Wei and Tang dynasties, and show the achievements of Chinese stone carving (雕刻).Gulangyu IslandLocated on the entry of the Jiulong River, the island has a harmonious mixture of Western music and Eastern culture. Gulangyu is naturally referred to as the “island of music”. It is famous for its outstanding musicians and musical instruments.Ancient villages in southern AnhuiLying in southern Anhui, Xidi and Hongcun have a high historical value in buildings. The villages show the architectural features of the Huizhou-styled living houses in the period of the Ming and Qing dynasties. Xidi and Hongcun were added onto the list on November 30, 2000.1．In which place can you enjoy nature according to the text?A．Huangshan Mountain.B．Gulangyu Island.C．Longmen Grottoes.D．Ancient villages in southern Anhui. 2．Who will probably choose the Ancient villages in southern Anhui to visit?A．A couple who want to see natural scenery.B．A college student who loves the history of Tang and carving.C．A professor who plans to admire the Huizhou-styled buildings.D．A family who’d like to experience the mixture of Chinese and Western cultures.3．Where does the passage most probably come from?A．A travel guidebook.B．A history textbook.C．A scientific fiction.D．An entertainment magazine.I’ve been having trouble concentrating on one thing. It made school difficult for me. When everyone else in the class was focusing on tasks, I could not.In my first literature class, Mrs. Smith asked us to read a story and then write on it, all within 45 minutes. I raised my hand right away and said, “Mrs. Smith, you see, the doctor said I have attention problems. I might not be able to do it.” She looked at me through her glasses, “You are not different from your classmates, young man.”I tried, but I didn’t finish the reading when the bell rang. I had to take it home.In the quietness of my bedroom, the story suddenly all became clear to me. It was about a blind person, Louis Braille. He lived in a time when the blind couldn’t get much education. But Louis didn’t give up. Instead, he invented a reading system of raised dots (点), which opened up a whole new world of knowledge to the blind. Wasn’t I the “blind” in my class, being made to learn like the “sighted” students? My thoughts spilled out and my pen started to dance. I completed the task within 40 minutes. Indeed, I was not different from others; I just needed a quieter place. If Louis could find his way out of his problems, why should I ever give up?I didn’t expect anything when I handed in my paper to Mrs. Smith, so it was quite a surprise when it came back to me the next day — with an “A” on it. At the bottom of the paper were these words: “See what you can do when you keep trying?”Inspired and touched, I began to keep trying hard in my study and struggled against attention problems. I believe one can find his way out of difficulty with determination (决心) and efforts.4．Why didn’t the author finish his reading in class?A．He missed several classes before.B．He was not interested in literature.C．He always did his homework at home.D．He was unable to concentrate on his task. 5．What do we know about Louis Braille from the text?A．He was creative.B．He was shallow.C．He was tricky.D．He was well-educated.6．What kind of teacher is Mrs. Smith according to the text?A．Impatient.B．Careless.C．Disappointing.D．Encouraging. 7．What can we learn from the last paragraph?A．You can never be too old to learn.B．Do not judge a book by its cover.C．Where there is a will, there is a way.D．Only study and no play makes Jack a dull boy.Cows produce much methane (甲烷) the world’s second worst greenhouse gas, as they break down the grass. They are a large source of the greenhouse gases that are driving climate change. Now scientists have shown the pollution from cows can be reduced by adding a little seaweed (海藻) to their food.Recently, the researchers from the University of California studied 21 cows on a farm for about five months. They taught the cows to get their food from inside a special hood, which allowed the scientists to know the amount of the methane the cows were giving off. They added a small amount of seaweed to the cows’ food.The consequences were surprisingly good. In some cases, the cows produced 82% less methane. The improvement depended on the kind of food the cows were given. Even the worst-polluting cows produced 33% less methane. Over the five months, the scientists didn’t see any signs that the cows’ stomachs were getting used to the seaweed and starting to produce more methane again. What’s more, the cows that were fed seaweed gained just as much weight as the other cows.But there are still some big problems with the idea of feeding cows seaweed. For one thing, there’s not enough seaweed to feed all of the cows in the world. So farmers would have to figure out a way to grow lots of seaweed. A bigger problem is that for most of their lives, cows live in the fields, where they eat grass. That means there’s no chance to feed them seaweed every day.Still, as the study shows, something as simple as feeding cows seaweed can help reduce some of the pollution causing the climate crisis.8．Why did the researchers carry out the study?A．To test the effects of the seaweed.B．To discover healthier grass for cows.C．To improve the cows’ living conditions.D．To measure the amount of methane in the world.9．What’s the third paragraph mainly about?A．The background of the subject.B．The results of the study.C．The content of the experiment.D．The process of the research. 10．What is the biggest challenge in the researchers’ opinion?A．Seaweed is not as tasty as grass.B．Seaweed is dying out in the world.C．Cows fed with seaweed gained weight easily.D．Cows can hardly have daily access to seaweed.11．What is the author’s attitude towards the findings?A．Positive.B．Doubtful.C．Unclear.D．Negative.It is widely known that any English conversation begins with the weather. Such a fixation with the weather finds expression in Dr. Johnson’s famous comment that “When two English meet, their first talk is of weather.” Though Johnson’s observation is as accurate now as it was over two hundred years ago, people fail to come up with a good explanation for this English weather-speak.Bill Bryson, for example, says that, as the English weather is not at all exciting, the interest in it can hardly be understood. He argues that “To an outsider, the most striking thing about the English weather is that there is not very much of it.” Simply, the reason is that the unusual and unpredictable weather is almost unknown in the British Isles.Jeremy Paxman, however, disagrees with Bryson, arguing that the English weather is by nature attractive. Bryson is wrong, he says, because the English preference for the weather has nothing to do with the natural phenomena (现象). “The interest is less in the phenomena themselves, but in uncertainty.” According to him, the weather in England is very changeable and uncertain and it draws the English as well as the outsider.Bryson and Paxman stand for common misunderstandings about the weather-speak among the English. Both of them, somehow, are missing the point. The English weather conversation is not really about the weather at all. English weather-speak is a system of signs, which is developed to help the speakers overcome the natural reserve and actually talk to each other. Everyone knows conversations starting with weather-speak are not requests for weather data. Rather, they are greetings. In other words, English weather-speak is a means of social bonding.12．Why does the author mention Dr. Johnson’s comment?A．Because Dr. Johnson is famous.B．To show that most people agree with Dr. Johnson.C．Because the comment was accurate two hundred years ago.D．To show that English conversations usually start with the weather. 13．According to the passage, what does Jeremy Paxman believe?A．Bill Bryson has little knowledge of the weather.B．There is nothing special about the English weather.C．The English weather attracts people to the British Isles.D．English people talk about the weather for its uncertainty.14．What does the underlined word “draw” in Paragraph 3 most probably mean?A．To explore.B．To attract.C．To ensure.D．To digitise. 15．What is the author’s main purpose of writing the passage?A．To analyse the weather in the UK.B．To explain what English weather-speak is about.C．To argue with both Bill Bryson and Jeremy Paxman.D．To tell people that the English weather is changeable.Digital technologies are taking up too much of our time and attention. Many of us will spend a large part of our lives staring at screens, missing out on satisfying relationships. For many years, we’ve been taught that the solution to this harm is some form of digital detox (脱following three steps to achieve balance in your and your family’s digital life: Determine your problem timesIdentify the times and situations when being on screens is making your life worse. It could be when you are streaming a TV series right before bed, feeling depressed afterward and losing hours of sleep. Or you could be getting stuck on your device at the dinner table.17 Identify your top two or three problem situations.18Scrolling (滚动浏览) on TikTok for hours keeps you from sleeping and makes you feel depressed afterward, ask yourself: What is screen time replacing and what goals is it serving?

Yet, those are not tears of fear or sadness, but tears of joy and pride. It dawns on her that her decades of hard work have finally paid off. The mRNA vaccines she helped develop have saved millions of lives and helped the world find a way out of the worst of the pandemic.That remarkable woman is Professor Katalin Karikó, a Hungarian-American biochemist, who together with her colleague American immunologist Drew Weissma, was awarded the 2023 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for their groundbreaking work on the development of mRNA-based vaccines.Born in 1955 in Hungary, Professor Karikó had a childhood marked by hardship.

Despite the promising results in RNA-related therapy trials, she was told her research was going nowhere. Her applications were repeatedly rejected, and in 1995 she lost her position in the University of Pennsylvania and was forced to retire.the university's immunology professor Drew Weissman, and eventually they made their big breakthrough, finding a way to modify mRNA so that it could trigger an immune response, laying the groundwork for what would become the Covid mRNA vaccines.

These four human capabilities can be found in most of our daily activities, at personal, social and business level. Having a tool can definitely improve our capabilities.As any tool we invented, it robs us of something: While AI has increased human strength and required fewer resources, it reduces the need for a single person to be “strong”! We have plenty of examples of complains from the past towards the appearance of new tools.Plato, the great Greek philosopher, once reported in his dialogues of concerns raised by the use of writing, a tool that would have robbed people from their capabilities to memorize, since memories could be shifted to writings on parchment (羊皮纸). Therefore, in a way, there is nothing really new in our reaction to this new tool.The opportunities offered, however are huge, and as for previous invented tools, the time will soon come when we will no longer have an option to use or not use AI.The IBM Global AI Adoption Report based on 2022 data point s out that only 1 company in 5 is not using or planning to use AI. According to McKinsey and Gartner, the two most well-known consulting (咨询) companies, most medium and large companies are already using AI and by the end of this decade all will be using it as an integral part of their activity support. In other words, by the end of this decade, there will be two kind of companies, those using AI and those that are out of business.8．According to the author, what has AI done for us?A. Rob us of some resources.B. Reduce personal strengths.C. Improve our capabilities.D. Make decisions for humans.9．Why is Plato mentioned in the passage?A. To highlight the power of new inventions since ancient times.B. To provide an example of people's concerns about new inventions.C. To show that people have been making new inventions all the time.D. To make sure that people understand the importance of new inventions.10．What does IBM Global AI Adoption Report show?A. Only large companies will use AI.B. Mckinsey and Gartner are already using AI.C. Most companies are using or planing to use AI.D. There will be two kinds of companies in ten years.11．Which one is a suitable title for this text?A. Why Should We Use AI?B. Where Is AI Leading Us?C. What Should We Do with AI?D. To Use or Not to use AI, It’s a Question.On the side of the road in the Hoh Xil Nature Reserve in northwest China's Qinghai Province, you might see a chubby wolf wagging its tail, rolling on the ground in front of the passing cars in hopes of getting a meal. However, it was skin and bones a few months ago. It is said that the old starving wolf was kicked out of the wolf pack because of its poor hunting ability. But that all changed after a passing driver gave it two pies and posted a video of it online in July, which has made the wolf popular, with people rushing to the area to provide it with food.Since then, the wolf has given up its hunting instinct(本能) and turned to passers-by for snacks that are high in oil, sugar and salt, such as pies, roasted chicken and sausages. Subsequently, more wolves have joined this behavior. The wolfs change has led many netizens to find humor as they are actually acting like pet dogs. However, the change means that it is losing its ability to survive in nature, which is extremely dangerous to wild animals.“Wolves are part of the food web in the ecosystem, and as people continue to feed them, their habits will change, which will disrupt their role in the ecosystem and affect the stability of the ecosystem,” said Qi Xinzhang, deputy head of the Xining Wildlife Park in the province.Although wolves sit near the top of the food web, their kill rate is only 14 percent. They don't eat every day. Instead, they live a life of feast or famine, and hunger is their norm.So far, some parts of the country have enacted laws and regulations prohibiting the feeding of wild animals. Shanghai municipal government implemented regulations on October 1 this year, prohibiting the feeding of wild animals. On October 16, a newly revised wildlife protection law in southwest China's Sichuan Province made it clear that feeding anddriving away wild animals are prohibited while observing and photographing them. 12．Why was the wolf kicked out of the wolf pack?A. His old age.B. His skinny body.C. His poor hunting ability.D. His popularity on the Internet.13．Why shouldn't tourists feed wild animals?A. Because wild animal may attack humans.B. Because wild animals don't like the food.C. Because wild animals don't have to eat everyday.D. Because feeding wild animals will affect the ecosystem.14．What do we know about wolves from this passage?A. They live like dogs.B. They can always find something to eat.C. They are at the bottom of food chain.D. They don’t often succeed in hunting. 15．What can we infer from the last paragraph?A. People are taking actions to protect wild animals.B. People shouldn't observe and photograph wild animals.C. Laws are newly introduced to protect wild animals recently.D. People can feed wild animals outside Shanghai and Sichuan.二、七选五16．We watch our salt and fat intake to protect our hearts. We exercise and take calcium to protect our bones. We use sunscreen to protect our skin. ①_________ Actually there are quite a lot! Here are some suggestions from experts about what lifestyle people should be taking to protect their vision and eye health.②_________Although there's no scientific evidence that the light from electronic screens damages eyes, staring at a screen can leave eyes tired. The National Institutes of Health recommends taking a break every 20 minutes to look at something about 20 feet away for 20 seconds.Eat for your eyesResearch shows that foods rich in vitamin C, vitamin E, zinc, lutein, zeaxanthin and omega-3 fatty acids are linked to lower risk for age-related eye problems. For omega-3 fatty acids, look for fish like salmon, tuna and halibut. ③_________ For lots of vitamin C, grab citrus, strawberries, tomatoes, red and green peppers, and broccoli. For vitamin E, choose peanuts, almonds, sunflower seeds, avocado, pumpkin and asparagus. For zinc, good sources are beef, fortified cereals and especially oysters.Stop those bad habitsSmoking isn't just bad for your lungs; it can harm eyes too. Smoking is terrible. It causes dry eye disease and correlates with severe other problems. Also, try not to rub your eyes. Rubbing makes inflammation worse. ④_________Check up regularlyDon't forget to see an eye specialist for a checkup. ⑤_________ And the truth is, the earlier you find these problems, the better you get them treated. For most people, unless there are noticeable problems, regular eye check-ups on the basis of at least every two years are recommended by the doctors.A. Take a break from screensB. Not all eye problems are noticeable.C But what can we do to protect our eyes?D. The more you rub, the more uncomfortable your eyes will get.E. If you still feel your eyes are dry or getting tired, use eye drops.F. For lutein and zeaxanthin, eat dark leafy greens like spinach, kale and collard greens.G. For more information on how to protect and care for your eyes, .三、完形填空（15空）With her paddle slicing through the water swiftly, 37-year-old Chinese canoeist (皮筏艇运动员) Xie Maosan enjoyed a significant lead in the women’s KLI canoe final and won the first gold medal of the 4th Asian Para Games on Monday.Born to a rural family in Anhui Province in 1986 and afflicted by Poliomyelitis (小儿麻痹症), Xie couldn’t 1 before the age of 10.

AMost people buy a lot of gifts just before Christmas. But some people think we buy too much. They have started a special day called Buy Nothing Day. They don’t want anyone to go shopping that day.Buy Nothing Day is November 29. It’s 25 days before Christmas. It’s after Thanksgiving and often the first day of Christmas shopping. At this time, we see ads in newspapers and on TV telling us to “buy, buy, buy!”The idea for Buy Nothing Day started in Vancouver, British Columbia. Now people all over the world celebrate Buy Nothing Day. In California, parents and children get together to read stories, sing songs, and paint pictures. The children talk about why they don’t need a lot of toys. This year, in Manchester, England, people dressed up to tell people that we buy too much.In Albuquerque, New Mexico, high school students wanted to tell other students about Buy Nothing Day. They organized a spaghetti dinner to give people information about Buy Nothing Day. They asked restaurants in the neighborhood to donate the food. They made posters and talked to other students about it. The dinner was a big success, and many students agreed not to buy anything on November 29. The students at high school liked the idea of this new tradition. Next year, they want to have another dinner to tell more people about Buy Nothing Day!1. Which of the following is NOT the day for people to celebrate Buy Nothing Day?A. The first day after Christmas.B. 25 days before Christmas.C. After Thanksgiving.D.November 292. When do people usually do shopping?A. Before Thanksgiving.B. On Christmas.C. Anytime.D. Before Christmas.3. How do people celebrate Buy Nothing Day?A. In California, parents and children get together to play games.B. In England, people celebrated by performing plays.C. They bought nothing and made the others decide not to.D. In Mexico, high school students dressed up.BThe iPhone, the iPad each of Apple’s products sounds cool and has become a fad(一时的风尚). Apple has cleverly taken advantage of the power of the letter “i” –-- and many other brands are following suit. The BBC’s iPlayer --- which allows Web users to watch TV programs on the Internet ---used the title in 2008. A lovely bear --- popular in the US and U --- that plays music and video is called “iTeddy”. A slimmed-down version(简装本) of London’s Independent newspaper was started last week under the name “i”.In general, single-letter prefixes(前缀) have been popular since the 1990s, when terms such as e-mail and e-commerce(电子商务) first came into use.Most “i” products are targeted at （针对）young people and considering the major readers of Independent’s “i”, it’s no surprise that they’ve select ed this fashionable name.But it’s hard to see what’s so spec ial about the letter “i”. Why not use “a”, “b”, or “c” instead? According to Tony Thorne, head of the Language Center at ing’s College, London, “i” works because its meaning has become ambiguous. When Apple uses “i”, no one knows whether it means Inter net, information, individual or interactive, Thorne told BBC Magazines. “Even when Apple created the iPod, it seems it didn’t have one clear definition（定义）,” he says.“However, thanks to Apple, the term is now connected with portability (轻便) .”adds Thorne.Clearly the letter “i” also agrees with the idea that the Western World is centered on the individual. Each person believes they have their own needs, and we love personalized products for this reason.Along with “Google” and “blog”, readers of BBC Magazines voted “i” as one of the top 20 words that have come to define the last decade(十年).But as history shows, people grow tired of fads. From the 1900s to 1990s, products with “2000” in their names became fashionable as the year was connected with all things advanced and modern. However, as we entered the new century, the fashion disappeared.4. People use iPlayer to __________.A. listen to musicB. make a callC. watch TV programs onlineD.read newspapers5. We can infer that the Independent’s “i” is designed for _________.A. young readersB. old readersC. fashionable womenD. engineers6. The underlined word “ambiguous” means “__________”.A. popularB. uncertainC. clearD. unique7. Nowadays, the “i” term often reminds people of the products which are __________.A. portableB. environmentally friendlyC. advancedD. recyclable8. The writer suggests that __________.A. “i” products are often of high qualityB. iTeddy is alive bearC. the letter “b” replaces letter “i” to name the productsD. the popularity of “i” products may not last longCNext Stop Planet MarsFly me to the moon? That’s not far eno ugh. On September 14,2011, NASA released designs for a super rocket, the Space Launch System (SLS). This time the final destination will be Mars.The SLS is a huge, liquid – fuelled rocket. If it is fully developed, it will be the most powerful rocket ever built. Its lift capability will be much bigger than that of the space shuttle of Saturn 5, the rocket that sent the Apollo missions to the moon.NASA is planning to launch its first unmanned test flight in 2017. It is hoped that the first crew will fly in 2021 and astronauts will make it to a nearby asteroid (小行星) in 2025. NASA hopes to send the rocket and astronauts to Mars from the asteroid by the 2030s, according to the Associated Press (AP).NASA used liquid rockets to send Apollo, Gemini and Mercury into space, but later changed to solid rockets boosters (助推火箭) because they were cheaper. Tragically, however, a booster flaw (缺陷) caused the space shuttle Challenger to crash in 1986. The new project plans to return to liquid fuel.According to AP, the rockets will at first be able to carry 77 to 110 tons of payload (净载重量). Eventually they will be able to carry 143 tons into space, maybe even as many as 165 tons, NASA officials said. By comparison, the Saturn 5 booster could lift 130 tons and the space shuttle just 27 tons.However, unlike reusable shuttles, these powerful rockets are mostly one use only. New ones have to be built for every launch. This will be very costly.NASA estimates that it will cost about $3 billion (19 billion yuan) per year, or $ 18 billionuntil the first test flight in 2017. NASA hopes to make money by allowing private companies to send astronauts to the International Space Station like giant taxi services, so that the program can be “sustainable”.“This is perhaps the bigg est t hing for space exploration in decades,” said Senator Bill Nelson, a former astronaut. “The goal is to fly humans safely beyond low – Earth orbit (轨道) and deep into outer space where we cannot only survive, but one day also live environmentally friendly”9. According to NASA’s schedule, it will take years to fully complete the SLS program.A. about 6B. about 10C. less than 14D. more than 1910. It can be inferred from the passage that .A. the SLS program is planning to make reusable rocketsB. the goal of the SLS program is to enable humans to live on the moonC. the US government may not have provided enough money for the SLS programD. NASA will use SLS as a space taxi between the Earth and Mars.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。

AOne morning, my husband Jerry went back to the kitchen as he just finished loading his car. “I guess filling my thermos（保温瓶） is all that I have left to do, and then I’m off.” Down the drain went the hot water that had been warming his thermos.With a nostalgic（怀旧的） look on his face, he softly said：“Anytime I fi ll my thermos I think of your mom.” The tone in his voice was so tender as he spoke of my mother, who is sadly no longer with us.“Oh honey, I know she’s watching and listening right now with a big smile on her face,”I responded, tears in my eyes.One morning years ago when we were leaving, mother watched as Jerry was to fill his thermos. Mom then casually said, ‘Jerry, if you filled your thermos with hot water and let it sit a while, your coffee would stay hot for longer then.” With her simple suggestion, his face showed that he was shocked by his own lack of common sense. Well, of course it would!He poured out the small amount of coffee already in the thermos and refilled it with boiling hot water. Then he poured the water and refilled it with hot coffee. Mom smiled as Jerry did so.Words of wisdom from a loving mother-in-law made an impact that will never be forgotten. She never dreamed her words would be a treasured and everlasting memory in the heart of her son-in-law.The lasting memories don’t necess arily come from major moments in life. Memories are often made during those small, ordinary times. Life is about small moments we share with friends and loved ones.1. Which word best describes the author’s feeling in Paragraph 3？ ____A. ConfusedB. ConcernedC. TouchedD. Interested2. The underlined part “don’t necessarily” is similar in meaning to ________.A. out of the questionB. without any doubtC. certainly and absolutelyD. possibly but uncertainly3. The message that the story intends to convey is ______.A. how valuable a mother’s advice is to her children.B. that lasting memories come from small thingsC. what a wise woman the mother is to her son-in-lawD. why we should respect our parents and listen to them.BThe Collections of Chinese Ancient Cultural Relics Abroad：Volume Victoria and Albert Museum has just been published, the fruit of ten years' efforts by Chinese experts.The book is the first of an upcoming series that centers on ancient cultural heritage（文化遗产） collections in different museums around the world. The book details 195 out of 18,000 items now in the Victoria and Albert Museum in England.More than 1.64 million ancient Chinese artifacts have been transported out of China because of different reasons such as wars and smuggling（走私） since the mid 19th century. More than 200 museums in 47 countries hold such collections, according to a report from UNESCO."The information we now have about these pieces is still very patchy（不全面的）," said Lu Zhangshen, curator（馆长） of the National Museum of China. "In order to have a clearer picture about these items, National Museum of China decided to start the Chinese Ancient Cultural Relics Abroad book project in But after we began, we found it really difficult to collect information for every piece from each museum. That’s why the first volume took us ten years.""The pieces in the book include 102 porcelains（瓷器）, 31 bronzes（铜器）, 22 lacquer（漆器）, 10 enamel vessels（搪瓷器皿） and so on," Liu Mingqian from Victoria and Albert Museum said.According to the National Museum of China, the volume of the Japanese museum Sen-oku Hakuko Kan is coming out soon and the museum will seek more cooperation from museums worldwide to accelerate（加速） the project.4. Which of the following best describes Lu Zhangshen’s attitudes towards the ChineseAncientCultural Relics Abroad book project？A. worthwhile but expensiveB. reasonable but worthlessC. meaningless but hardD. meaningful but difficult5. Which of the following statements is NOT True According to the text？A. So far, Volumes Victoria, Albert Museum and the Japanese museum have been published.B. A great many ancient Chinese artifacts have been distributed（分散） worldwide duemainly to wars and smuggling.C. It is nearly ten years since the Chinese Ancient Cultural Relics Abroad book project was set up.D. At present, collecting information for every piece from each museum is to some degree tough.6. The main purpose of the passage is to ________.A. compare and evaluateB. inform and explainC. argue and discussD. examine and explainCComfort is comforting, but it might narrow our experience at work — and beyond.In our modern world, discomfort is considered a terrible thing. If not terrible, it’s at least a thing of the past. Dishwashers, washing machines, computers, remote controls—yes, they add convenience, but also a level of comfort our forefathers did not enjoy.As pain of any kind discourages happiness, we tend to reason anything that prevents us to feel good must be bad. And that’s also particularly true for our careers. Success makes us feelgreat, not terrible. Such a view, however, is a matter of personal opinion. And it may blind us to hidden opportunities.Artists throughout history have tried to experience suffering, instinctively（本能地） if not consciously（有意识地）, to produce works that explore the darker hidden sides of the human condition. This was done, in part, because pain is a reality of life for everybody in some form at some time. Pain is something everybody can relate to. And pain makes a person very real. For such artists, to deny pain would be to block the creative thinking, which drives them to explore and express. In fact, Germans have a term（术语）for this, “Weltschmerz”, which means “suffering from the world.” Writers, from Lord Byron to Kurt Vonnegut, have used the term to describe the psychological pain along life’s roller-coaster journey. It was not to be avoided; it was to be understood and employed.So I believe that discomfort is good for us. Or, put another way, it tells us that something needs to be attended to. It develops us by forcing us to view our circumstances（环境）through a wholly different view. Because we’re attracted by safety and security, we do our best to create pleasant comfort zones for ourselves and our loved ones through the cars we drive, the houses we live in, and the places we work. But by resisting discomfort, we deny ourselves an important opportunity：the chance to shake ourselves out of our predictable perspectives（视角） and allow ourselves to make knowledgeable observations that we could not possibly have made before. Discomfort gives us fresh eyes.7. Which of the following is NOT a reason why artists throughout history have been exploringsufferings？A. Pain is a mirror that can reflect the life of everybody.。

AJust because a cat can’t see, it doesn’t mean she can’t enjoy the great outdoors.Patrick Carl, a 28-year-old filmmaker from Cork City, Ireland, proved that in a beautiful video, in which he climbs a mountain with his blind cat, Stevie, at his side.To ensure Stevie’s safety, Carl has had to train her to walk on a leash (皮带) when she goes outside.“It took a lot of patience to do this thing,” Carl told The Huffington Post. He said walking on the leash is now “the norm” for her —“she makes it look so easy.”“I think Stevie is a very good cat and I wanted to capture (用镜头捕捉) how I truly felt about her and share that with the world in a meaningful way,” Carl said.Carl got Stevie from Cork’s Animal Care Society about three years ago, after seeing an ad on social media saying that Stevie needed a home with a patient owner who could give her special care. In an earlier video about Stevie, Carl says that he has to make sure he keeps everything in his house in the exact same place so as to not confuse the blind cat.Carl explained that he was never really a cat person, but Stevie has changed him.“That’s not to say I didn’t like cats,” he said. “It’s just that up until I met Stevie, cats didn’t really take up any of my time. But now, it’s safe to say, I’ve been changed.”He added that Stevie is just one of many animals that have been rescued from shelters or on the streets. “She wouldn’t be here today if it hadn’t been for the unbelievable hard work of the Animal Care Society in Cork,” he said.1. What is wrong with the cat, Stevie?A. She is too fat to do exercise.B. She was once badly treated.C. She is blind a nd can’t see.D. She doesn’t like to go outside.2. Why does Carl tie a leash on Stevie?A. To avoid someone stealing her.B. To make sure she is safe while walking.C. To make sure she can walk easily.D. To avoid losing her when walking.3. Why does Carl arrange everything in the same place?A. He doesn’t want Stevie to make a mess.命题人：王秀平B. He wants to be more patient.C. He wants to train Stevie to get smarter.D. He wants to give Stevie a familiar home.4. What was Carl like before he met Stevie?A. He had never had a cat.B. He was very interested in cats.C. He didn’t like cats very much.D. He didn’t feel very safe.BIf your childhood memories are filled with summers spent chasing fireflies (萤火虫), then you’re going to love this new theme park in China. It is dedicated to the glowing insects that naturally light up their habitat at night.The park, located at the East Lake Peony Garden in Wuhan City, central China’s Hubei Province, is home to about 10,000 fireflies. The insects are divided into five separate zones — the flying zone, the observation zone, the zero-distance contact zone, the breeding zone, and the science popularization (普及) zone. Each zone is meant to satisfy different categories of visitors, right from casual visitors to researchers.Breeding fireflies is a rather costly affair —around 10 yuan (US$1.61) per insect —but totally worth it from a business point of view, as the Chinese seem to be positively in love with them. They will pay a large amount of money to see the small insects twinkle at night, and tickets for such parks are usually sold out in several days as soon as they hit the market.Fireflies were a normal part of summer nights through most of China, but their numbers have been going down for years, as a result of pollution and destruction of their natural habitats. Taking advantage of this sad situation, businessmen have been setting up firefly parks (not all of them are environmentally friendly, and some even sell jars full of live fireflies online).Since fireflies are seasonal, the park opened on May 29 this year and continued to operate until early October. However, following the success it enjoyed this year, the Wuhan firefly park has become an annual event, and will open again next year.They’ve got lots of attractions at the park — dinosaur exhibitions, camping festivals, family walks and children’s activities, all held under the warm glow of fireflies.5. The underlined phrase, “is dedicated to”, in the fir st paragraph can be replaced by _____.A. is limited toB. is designed forC. is put up withD. is separated from6. If you want to know about the habits of fireflies, which zone should you go to?A. The flying zone.B. The breeding zone.C. The science popularization zone.D. The zero-distance contact zone.7. Why is the number of fireflies becoming smaller and smaller these years?A. Because it is hard to breed fireflies.B. Because they are killed for research.C. Because their natural habitats are being destroyed.D. Because they have all been collected in the theme park.8. What can we learn about this new theme park?A. It consists of four separate zones.B. It operates all the year around.C. All the fireflies in it are displayed in jars.D. It gained fame after it was opened.CWhen you study abroad in France, you can expect to be treated the same as your native (当地的) classmates, whether in a lecture or a discussion class.While you can study abroad in France and concentrate on nearly any subject, it’s the students with a passion for the arts, architecture and history that rush to the country in the largest numbers. And that’s no shock, considering that France has been the center of the arts for centuries.As students of the arts, you will have to make careful use of your time, given all that France has to offer:●Visit the Louvre to view the works of French artists such as Monet, Matisse and Renoir;●Read the works of such French literary geniuses as Baudelaire, Proust and Voltaire;●Listen to the music of Debussy, or more contemporary (当代的) artists like Air and Daft Punk.France is also a main destination for architecture students, as you will see architecture in nearly every style:●The Gothic Chateau de Chambord, built in the 1500s;● Place Dauphine built in 1607 in Baroque style;● The post-modern housing development, Marne-la-Vallee.History students will find that France has been where the action is for quite some time. Over the course of the centuries, it has been the stage for the most important developments in the history of mankind, including the French Revolution, the rise of Napoleon and the rise of the Fifth Republic under President Charles de Gaulle. It was also the site of the D-Day invasion (诺曼底登陆) of World War II.As a possible study abroad location, France has a lot to offer, because the combination of educational institutions (教育机构), arts and culture, and national history are second to none.9. What can we learn about studying abroad in France from the text?A. Students from China are usually treated badly.B. There are many lectures and discussion classes.C. Few students choose to study in France.D. France is the best place for students who love the arts.10. According to the text, you can see many kinds of architecture in France, such as ____.① post-modern housing developments② Baroque style buildings③ the Big Ben④ Gothic architectureA. ①②③B. ①③④C. ①②④D. ②③④11. The text is most likely taken from _______.A. a history bookB. a study abroad websiteC. an architecture advertisementD. a fashion magazineD“When something is lovely, do we get the urge to squeeze（挤扁）it?” National Geographic’s Emily Tye asked Saturday’s Weird Animal Question of the Week. “Seems dangerous, in terms of evolution (进化)!”“Rest assured (毫无疑问)”, Emily said. “You’re not alone.”In a 2015 study in Psychological Science, Yale University psychologist Oriana Aragon and her team found that people who had extremely positive reactions to images of cute babies also “displayed stronger aggressive（侵略性的）expressions,” such as wanting to pinch (捏) the babies’ cheeks.Speaking of pinching, another experiment in the recent study found that participants squeezed more bubble wrap when they saw images of cute baby animals than those who viewed images of older animals.This shows that, if given the chance to squeeze something while seeing the cute pictures, they would — though not with any real intent to harm the creatures.So what explains our impulse（冲动）to squeeze or gently bite lovely animals? For some people, experiencing a strong emotion is followed by “an expression of what one would think is a n opposing feeling,” says Aragon. Here’s the science behind why we find some animals so cute.“So you may have tears of joy, nervous laughter, or may be wanting to squeeze something that you think is unbearably cute” —even if it’s an animal you’d normally want to hug or protect.That secondary reaction may also serve to weaken and temper (调和) their initial emotion that is too strong, thus bringing the person into balance.For instance, the 2015 study showed people who had such positive and negative concurrent (并存的) reactions regained their emotional balance more quickly.And if you’re caring for something lovely, that’s important. “Because they may help people to regain control over their strong emotions, these expressions help the caretaker to care for an animal or baby properly,” Aragon says.12. People who act very positively towards something tend to ____________________.A. lose controlB. destroy the thingC. cause harm to the thingD. express themselves in an aggressive way13. What usually follows if one experiences a strong emotion?A. A strong expression.B. A serious thought.C. An opposite feeling.D. An unbelievable impulse.14. What may be the reason for people crying when they are overjoyed?A. To be more positive and stronger.B. To express their different emotions.C. To strengthen their various emotions.D. To balance their emotions better.15. The article explains its theory by ________.A. giving examplesB. analyzing figuresC. listing dataD. making descriptions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。

【全国百强校】甘肃省兰州第一中学2020-2021学年高一上学期期末考试英语试题学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________一、阅读选择A bright yellow “M” tells you that it’s a McDonald’s restaurant; we also associate the cheerful theme tune “I’m Lovin’ It” with the famous US fast food.A brand’s music has a similar effect on its customers as its logo. “It appeals directly to the heart, where consumers’ decisions are really made,” wrote Marketing Week.This is probably why companies from around the world have recently focused more on building a “sonic (声音的) identity”.An example is the software company Tencent QQ. Since 2014, this Chinese company has been trying to trademark (申请商标权) its “Di-Di-Di-Di-Di-Di” notification sound. The trademark was finally approved on Nov 15, which m eans that Tencent’s “Di-Di-Di-Di-Di-Di” notification sound is now protected by law and can only be used by QQ.Sound and music can also help tell stories. In Game of Thrones (《权力的游戏》) there are so many characters that it is difficult to memorize them all. So, they wrote melodies (旋律) specific to each family. The result is that characters do not only look familiar, but sound familiar too.“I think a huge reason why sound inspires action is that, on an unconscious level, we are always listening,” Lauren Nagel, executive creative director at Pandora Media, told GeoMarketing. “You can close your eyes, but you can’t shut your ears.”1．What is the influence of a brand’s music, according to Marketing Week?A．It creates a relaxing environment.B．It helps to get cust omers’ attention.C．It makes the brand better known.D．It encourages consumers to make quick decisions.2．The example of Tencent QQ is mainly used to show ______.A．how companies value their sounds and musicB．the importance of trademark protectionC．the l asting impact of a brand’s musicD．what makes a good notification sound3．How does music help Game of Thrones?A．It helps to create more impressive scenes.B．It tells about the characters’ personalities.C．It suggests that important things are coming.D．It makes the characters easier to remember.Perhaps no one knows the power of imagination better than Chinese writer Liu Cixin. Until four years ago, Liu worked full-time as a computer engineer at a power plant in Shanxi province. He only wrote science fiction in his spare time. But it was during this time that Liu’s imagination took flight. He did what he might never have the chance to do in real life – wander in space, fight with aliens, and visit planets light-years away.But even with such a powerful imagination, Liu, 55, probably hadn’t expected that he would become the first Asian to win the Hugo Award, science fiction’s highest prize, in 2015. Perhaps neither did he think that former US president Barack Obama would read his novel The Three-Body Problem, nor that on Nov 9 in Washington DC, he would win the 2018 Arthur C．Clarke Award for Imagination in Service to Society. It’s the first time a Chinese writer has ever won the award.In his acceptance speech, Liu said that he owed his imagination to Arthur C．Clarke (1917-2008), a famous UK sci-fi author. He said that reading Clarke’s 1968 classic novel 2001: A Space Odyssey in the early 1980s had a great effect on him.“My mind opened up like never before. I felt like a narrow river finally seeing the sea,” Liu said. “That night, in my eyes, the starry sky was completely different from the past. For the first time in my life, I was awed (使……敬畏) by the mystery of the universe.”But no matter how far away Liu’s imagination takes him, somehow his novels alwa ys stay rational.In The Three-Body Problem, for example, Liu tells a tale of aliens invading Earth. But unlike other alien stories, Liu talks more about relationships between civilizations, rules of survival, and the meanings of life. And in The Wandering Earth, Liu looks ahead to the day when our solar system comes to an end and humans have to look for a new place to live. However, all his visions and solutions are based on “hard science”. Liu’s works aren’t simply daydreams.4．What do we know about Liu Cixin?A．He became a full-time writer when he was young.B．He dreamed about wandering in space from childhood.C．He is the first Asian to win the Arthur C．Clarke Award.D．He is the first Chinese winner of the Hugo Award.5．Liu Cixin’s words are used mainly to show ______.A．his interest in mysteries of the universeB．his love of reading science fictionC．his confusion when he started writingD．his feeling after reading Clarke’s work6．Why did the author mention The Three-Body Problem and The Wandering Earth?A．To compare the different writing styles in the two books.B．To explain how Liu Cixin came up with his ideas.C．To show that Liu Cixin has a powerful imagination.D．To prove that Liu Cixin’s works relate science to reality.7．What’s the text mainly about?A．Liu Cixin’s achievements and writing style.B．Liu Cixin’s contributions to science fiction.C．How Liu Cixin became a sci-fi writer.D．How Liu Cixin started a new sci-fi style.Giving generously and receiving gratefully make it easier to live happily with others. Yet, why do we have such difficulty accomplishing these things in our relationships? I think people refuse to be generous with others because they fear being used.For example, my husband and I have family members who only contact us when they need money. We usually accept their requests, but we rarely receive a “thank you”. Most people would say that my husband and I are being used. But when we give, we shouldn’t be giving for the purpose of getting gratitude. Rather, we should be givi ng because it’s a good thing to do.Everything that we have, from our ability to wake up each morning to the money in our bank account, is a gift from the world. In return, the world asks us to use these gifts to help others, either by giving them our time or our resources. The good news is that when we live our lives being nice to others, our lives run more smoothly.If you’re generous, yes, some people will use you. But if you practice being generous,most of your relationships will improve. And at the same time, we should remember to receive gratefully. I truly believe that you cannot say “thank you” enough.So often we get lazy about expressing gratitude. Parents can feel unappreciated by their children, and teachers can feel unappreciated by their students. Just because a task is part of someone’s job description doesn’t mean that you shouldn’t thank them for it.Words of appreciation make others feel good about themselves like nothing else. It’s good for us to say “thank you” because we often need to te ll ourselves how lucky we are.If you are looking for a way to improve your life, I can give you one: Give generously and receive gratefully.8．The author mentions her family members in the article mainly to explain ______. A．why we should give even if we feel we are being usedB．why people have trouble expressing gratitudeC．what makes people refuse to offer helpD．why it’s necessary to express gratitude9．According to the author, why should we be grateful to those who help us?A．It can bring us good luck.B．Words of gratitude make people happy.C．It’s not other people’s duty to help us.D．All we normally get are gifts from the world.10．The author wrote this article mainly to ______.A．tell the importance of generosityB．persuade people to give generously and receive thankfullyC．show how to express our gratitude to othersD．give tips on how to improve other people’s lives二、七选五Accidents happen more often than you think. Every year in China, 3.2 million people die in accidents –that’s an average of six people per minute. Experts say that the 10 minutes after an accident can make the difference between life and death. 11．The second Saturday of September is World First Aid Day. It fell on Sept 8 this year. First aid refers to the first steps taken to help someone who’s injured. 12．. It also includes getting help, either by telling other people or calling 120.13．, do cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR, 心肺复苏), and treat things like burns, bleeding and broken bones. It takes as little as two hours to learn these skills.14．. You can also read books or watch videos that can be found on free apps like First Aid Manual (现场急救指南).15．. The Peking Union Medical College Hospital offers these options.“Learning first aid is good for everyone and it is better to start young,” Wang Jiangshan, a doctor in the hospital’s emergency room, told the China Youth Daily. “It can benefi t oneself and others for the rest of one’s life.”A．It includes keeping the person safe and staying calmB．You can learn first aid by visiting the official website of China First Aid Training C．This is why learning first aid is so importantD．Right now is a good time for us to learn more about first aidE.Some hospitals also give courses or even hold first aid camps for kidsF.In the US, first aid is a basic skill that every student has to learnG.Basic first aid training teaches you how to deal with emergencies三、完形填空There are a great number of people in the world while few people are great. I think there is probably only one great person out of 10, 000 at best, and most probably much less than that. There’s no question that Walt Disney is one of the gre atest people who changed the world. As the man behind Mickey Mouse and the entire Disney enterprise, his life’s work has 16 children and adults for decades. And when he 17 due to lung cancer in 1966, the world truly lost a great person.18 , Disney made an impact in another way.

What did Disney’s last message to the world intend to 22 ?According to former Disney archivist Dave Smith, who 23 the note, Disney was listing possible 24 projects for his company. And one name 25 out: Kurt Russell.Disney had expressed his 26 of the then-15-year-old’s talent before, praising him on television and 27 ensuring that the boy received a studio contract (合同). In October 1966, just months before his 28 , Disney even predicted “a great 29 future” for Russell. But in the end, it was Disney’s last 30 that ended up launching Russell’s career as an actor.Russell 31 this during a 2013 episode of The View. “I assume, as [does] everybody else, that he was 32 about some movie that he was thinking about having me in … I don’t know what to make of it 33 that,” Russell said.The young actor would go on to star in dozens of Disney 34 , including The One and Only, Genuine, Original Family Band. So in the end, we have Disney to 35 for one of the most memorable talents on our screens.16．A．guided B．inspired C．challenged D．taught17．A．fell down B．passed down C．passed away D．carried away 18．A．However B．Besides C．Therefore D．Meanwhile19．A．book B．invitation C．report D．message20．A．listed B．counted C．matched D．checked21．A．rule B．function C．benefit D．meaning22．A．speak B．convey C．mention D．prove23．A．read B．wrote C．found D．accepted24．A．future B．stable C．normal D．difficult25．A．broke B．worked C．made D．stood26．A．love B．concern C．need D．requirement27．A．personally B．naturally C．certainly D．practically28．A．loss B．death C．retirement D．disease29．A．acting B．singing C．dancing D．showing30．A．contract B．project C．ideas D．words31．A．arranged B．confirmed C．promoted D．questioned 32．A．inquiring B．talking C．arguing D．worrying 33．A．regardless of B．better than C．other than D．along with 34．A．magazines B．broadcasts C．programs D．films35．A．answer B．apply C．ask D．thank四、用单词的适当形式完成句子根据所提示单词的适当形式填空。

满分100分，考试时间100分钟。
答案写在答题卡上，交卷时只交答题卡。
一. 阅读理解（共两节，满分30分）第一节(共10题：每小题2分，满分20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，并填写答题卡上。
AFood acts as a form of communication in two fundamental ways. Sharing bread or other foods is a common human tradition that can promote unity and trust. Food can also have a specific meaning, and play a significant role in a family or culture's celebrations or traditions. The foods we eat―and when and how we eat them―are often unique to a particular culture or may even differ between rural (农村的) and urban areas within one country.Sharing bread, whether during a special occasion (时刻) orat the family dinner table, is a common symbol of togetherness. Many cultures also celebrate birthdays and marriages with cakes that are cut and shared among the guests. Early forms of cake were simply a kind of bread, so this tradition hits its roots in the custom of sharing bread.Food also plays an important role in many New Year celebrations. In the southern United States, pieces of corn bread represent blocks of gold for prosperity (兴旺) in the New Year. In Greece, people share a special cake called vasilopita. A coin is put into the cake, which signifies (预示) success in the New Year for the person who receives it.Many cultures have ceremonies to celebrate the birth of a child, and food can play a significant role. In China, when a baby is one month old, families name and welcome their child in a celebration that includes giving red-colored eggs to guests. In many cultures, round foods such as grapes, bread, and moon cakes are eaten at welcome celebrations to represent family unity.Nutrition is necessary for life, so it is not surprising that food is such an important1 / 13part of different cultures around the world.1. According to the passage, sharing bread______.A. indicates there is not enough foodB. can help to strengthen unityC. is a custom unique to rural areasD. has its roots in marriages celebrations2. What does the coin in vasilopita signify for its receiver in the New Year?A. Money.B. Success.C. Luck.D. Togetherness.3. The author explains the role of food in celebrations by______.A. using examplesB. making comparisonsC. analyzing causesD. describing processes4. The author wants to _____________.A. show the rule of food in ceremonies.B. persuade the readers to share bread with others.C. tell the specific meaning of food.D. introduce the importance of food in culture to readers.BNot so long ago, a sailor sailing across the cold waters of the northern Pacific Ocean might have had every chance of being faced with a sea cow. This cow would have measured 10 meters long, and weighed between five and ten tons. And it would spend most of its day cruising (巡游) the seas, eating grass growing underwater. The cow in question was known a s Steller’s sea cow, which is now extinct.Today, many people are unaware that such an extraordinary creature once existed, or don’t know its incredible story. But scientists have discovered many fundamental facts about this mystical animal.Surpri singly, the first recorded sighting of a Steller’s sea cow didn’t happen until 1741, when a sailing expedition was stuck on an uninhabited island, later named Bering Island. The sailors survived by hunting and eating the huge sea cow. Like its modern relatives, the sea cow lived in herds(兽群). That and its slow-moving behavior made it easy to be caught.2 / 13Those sailors that escaped Bering Island spread word of thelarge amount of meat to be found off i ts shore. As a result, more and more expeditions came to hunt the animals. One report stated that one sea cow could feed 33 men for a month.Incredibly, just 27 years after the island and species had been discovered by modern man, the last cow was reported killed. That makes the Steller’s sea c ow one of the few truly large mammals known to have been driven extinct in the modern age.5. Which of the following word is close to the meaning of the un derlined word “mystical”in the 2nd paragraph?A. WildB. UnbelievableC. HugeD. Dangerous6. What made the sea cow easy to be caught?A. The sailors escaped Bering Island and the sea cow’s slow behavior.B. More expeditions came to hunt the sea cow.C. Being a kind of social animal and the slow pace of moving.D. The fact that one sea cow could feed 33 men for a month.7. In which year did the Steller’s sea cow become extinct?A. In 1741.B. In 1768.C. In 1785.D. In 1876.CWhen gardening, the most important care you will have to do is to keep it properly watered. Watering is important to keep the plants wet and cool but there is another side of watering to consider. It is overwatering. When overwatere d, a plant’s roots can begin to rot(腐烂) under the ground. The stem and leaves can also begin to grow mildew(霉). Both of these spell disaster for herbs.Different kinds of herbs need different watering. Grouping herbs can allow you to water using soaker hoses, which are hoses that allow water to slowly seep into the surrounding area without wasting water. You can set these up on a timer and you will not worry about water for the rest of the season. By grouping by watering need, plants can be set on the proper timing for just the right amount of water. Sometimes, overhead watering is used to water large areas of herbs. This way takes some special consideration. It is best to keep3 / 13the plant leaves dry to avoid diseases. To avoid this, time the sprinklers(洒水器) to water at first light so the herbs have the entire day to dry out. Check in time for signs of mildew and do not overwater.Another way to water your herbs is by using a watering globe. Watering globes appear to be decorated balls made of colored glass with a long spike attached to them. They are pretty and functional as well. You fill them from the bottom, press them into the soil next to your plant and the water very slowly leaks into the soil as needed.Watering globes are perfect for container gardens because they keep individual plants perfectly watered without fail.8. What does the underlined sentence mean?A. The herbs will bring disaster to people.B. The rotten roots will cause disaster.C. The mildewed stem and leaves will cause disaster to the roots of the herbs.D. The rotten roots and mildewed stem and leaves of a plant mean the death of it.9. What severe result does overwatering cause?A. The plant leaves turn yellow and fall down.B. The plant leaves begin to go bad.C. The plan t stem grows backward or bend down.D. The plant top grows dry and shrinks quickly.10. Why does the author suggest grouping herbs to water?A. To take care of the herbs more easily.B. To prevent them from being destroyed.C. To irrigate herbs without wasting water.D. To keep the plant leaves dry to avoid diseases.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。
