2018年北京市人大附中高考英语模拟试卷(6月份)-教师用卷

2018年北京市人大附中高考英语模拟试卷(6月份)-教师用卷

2018年北京市人大附中高考英语模拟试卷(6月份)副标题一、单选题(本大题共8小题,共8.0分)1.8students and 2teachers at Santa Fe High School by a 17-year-student armed with a shotgun and a p istol. This is one of the many gun-related tragedies that have happened in the last 2years.()A. killedB. were killedC. have killedD. have been killed【答案】B【解析】考查一般过去时的被动语态.8 students and 2 teachers与kill之间是被动语态,排除A、C项,且事情已发生,要用一般过去时的被动语态,排除D项,只有B项正确.故选:B.在圣塔菲高中,八名学生和两名老师被一名手持猎枪和一把手枪十七岁的学生杀害了.这是最近两年来发生的与枪有关的许多惨事之一.解答此类问题要了解各种时态的基本含义,并区别各种时态之间的差异,了解某些时态的特殊用法,然后结合语境选择正确答案.2.The 19th Party Congress drew up a blueprint for China's development in the next three decades and more. this blueprint into reality, we must be down-to-earth in our ap proach, take one step at a time as we move forward and deliver solid outcomes.()A. TurningB. TurnedC. TurnD. To turn【答案】D【解析】考查动词不定式.此处动词不定式表示目的,作目的状语.故选D项.其它三项不符合语境.故选:D.第十九届党代会为中国未来三十年的发展制定了蓝图.要把这一蓝图变为现实,我们必须脚踏实地,在前进的道路上迈出一步,取得坚实的成果.不定式具有动词的特征,同时也有名词、形容词和副词的特征.动词不定式在句中可以作主语、宾语、表语、定语和状语,还可用在复合结构中,而且有完成式、进行式、完成进行式和否定形式.弄清楚不定式的各种表达形式的含义和在句中所作的成分,然后选择最符合题意的选项.3.Rent usually up in the summer, when college graduates are moving out of their dormitories and seeking for new places to move in.()A. will goB. goesC. has goneD. went【答案】B【解析】考查一般现在时.根据句中的状语 usually,要用一般现在时的单数形式.故B 项正确.其它三项不符合语境.故选:B.在夏季,当大学生搬离他们的宿舍,寻找新地方搬进时,租金通常会上涨.解答此类问题要了解各种时态的基本含义,并区别各种时态之间的差异,了解某些时态的特殊用法,然后结合语境选择正确答案.4.The problem with the current system allows anyone to commit a similar crime without. It needs to be fixed.()A. being punishedB. punishedC. to punishD. punishing【答案】A【解析】分析句子的结构可知,介词"without"之后应接动名词或名词,根据语境"被惩罚"可知,此处应用动名词的被动语态,即为"without being punished/punishment".故选:A.目前体制的问题会让人犯错而不用被惩罚,它需要修订.本题考查动名词用法.解答这类题目首先要读懂句意,其次要分析出动名词在句中所作的成分,若动名词在句中作宾语时,要分析主被动关系,主动用doing,被动用being done,还要判断动作有无先后关系,考虑用完成式having done或having been done.5. on one foot with your eyes closed. and you will soon lose your balance.()A. StandingB. StoodC. To standD. Stand【答案】D【解析】分析句子结构可知,连词"and"连接两个并列关系的句子,因此连词"and"之前为句子,从而排除非谓语动词形式的A,B和C选项;句中的句式为"祈使句,and +一般将来时的句子".故选:D.单脚站立,双眼紧闭,你身体马上很快就会失去平衡.祈使句,+ and/or + 陈述句祈使句,+ and + 陈述句:在这里祈使句相当于if 引导的条件状语从句(但此时去掉and).Give blood (if you can )and many lives will be saved.还可以用简短的形式表示,即省略动词.1.Give me one more hour,and I'll get the work finished.(祈使句)═One more hour,and I'll get the work finished.(名词短语)═ If you give me one more hour,I'll get the work finished.(if条件句)═If I am given one more hour,I'll get the work finished.═ Given one more hour,I'll get the work finished.2.More effort,and you will succeed.Another attempt,and you will get it.One more minute,and the patient would have bled to death.祈使句,+ or + 陈述句Listen to the teacher carefully in class,or you can't catch what he is saying.(A)Let's keep to the point,or we ______ any decisions.A will never reachB have never reachedC never reachD never reached6.Tourists love Beijing, offers an infinite collection of delights ranging from 6UNESCO World Heritage Sites to food from every corner of China and beyond.()A. thatB. whereC. whichD. who【答案】C【解析】答案:C.考查定语从句.句意:游客喜欢北京,它提供了无限的收藏,从6个联合国教科文组织世界遗产地到中国和其他角落的食物.这是一个非限制性定语从句,本句中的先行词是Beijing,在定语从句中做主语,所以用which来引导.that不能引导非限制性定语从句,where只能在从句中做状语.who指代人.故选:C.游客喜欢北京,它提供了无限的收藏,从6个联合国教科文组织世界遗产地到中国和其他角落的食物.定语从句又称为形容词性从句,综观历年高考试题,我们可以发现该语法项目是测试中的热点与难点,解定语从句的题目首先要知道哪一句是主句,哪一句是从句,被修饰的词是谁,从句中的句子成分缺失什么,根据缺失成分的不同从而选出相对应的关系代词或者关系副词,从而选出正确的答案,解题的关键是从句句子的成分分析.7.--- I have been working for more than 30 years! I'm going to retire next month.--- Really? You don't look a day 40!()A. overB. byC. withD. for【答案】A【解析】考查介词.over(表示等级或数目)高于;在…之上,超过;by截止;with 有,带有;for为了,因为.根据题意,A项正确.故选:A.--我已经工作30多年了.很快就要退休了.--真的吗?你看起来一点都不像40多岁的样子.考查介词,弄清楚各个介词的含义并区别各个介词之间的差异,了解某些介词的特殊用法,然后结合语境选择正确答案.8.It shocked the world the United States withdrew from some major agreements it hadbeen committed to, including the 2015Paris Agreement on climate change mitigation and the 2015 Iran Nuclear Deal.()A. whichB. whatC. whetherD. that【答案】D【解析】答案:D.考查主语从句.分析句子可知本句是主语从句,it是形式主语,从句是真正的主语,从句中不缺少主语或者宾语,所以用that来引导.which,what在主语从句中要做成分,whether是"是否"的意思.故选:D.这件事震惊了世界,美国退出了它所承诺的一些主要协议,包括2015项减缓气候变化的巴黎协议和2015次伊朗核协议.名词性从句一直是高考考查的热点,近几年的高考题主要考察在具体语境中对what和that的辨析,此外,也要求学生对定语从句和名词性从句有清晰的辨认.首先我们要判断它是哪个名词性从句.名词性从句是主句的一部分,可以充当主语、宾语、表语、同位语.就是说,如果我们能判断出某个从句是某个主句的主语、宾语、表语或同位语,二、阅读理解(本大题共15小题,共30.0分)AWhat Cocktail Parties Teach Us You're at a party.Music is playing.Glasses are clinking.Dozens of conversations are driving up the decibel (分贝)level.Yet among all those distractions,you can tune your attention to just one voice from many.This ability is what researchers call the "cocktail-party effect."Scientists at the University of California in San Francisco have found where that sound-editing process occurs in the brain-in the auditory cortex (听觉皮层)just behind the ear,not in areas of higher thought.The auditory cortex boosts some sounds and turns down others so that when the signal reaches the higher brain,"it's as if only one person was speaking alone," saysinvestigator Edward Chang.These findings,published in the journal Nature last week,explain why people aren't very good at multitasking-our brains are wired for "selective attention" and can focus on only one thing at a time.That inborn ability has helped humans survive in a world buzzing with visual and auditory stimulation (刺激).But we keep trying to push the limit with multitasking,sometimes with tragic consequences.Drivers talking on cellphones,for example,are four times as likely to get into traffic accidents as those who aren't.Many of those accidents are due to "inattentional blindness",in which people can,in effect,turn a blind eye to things they aren't focusing on.The more attention a task demands,the less attention we can pay to other things in our field of vision.Images land on our retinas (视网膜)and are either boosted or played down in the visual cortex before being passed to the brain,just as the auditory cortex filters sounds,as shown in the Nature study last week."It's a push-pull relationship-the more we focus on one thing,the less we can focus on others," says Diane M.Beck,an associate professor of psychology at the University of Illinois.Studies over the past decade at the University of Utah show' that drivers talking on hands-free cellphones are just as influenced as those on hands-held phones because it is the conversation,not the device that is distracting their attention.Those talking on any kind of cellphone react more slowly and miss more traffic signals than other motorists.Some people can train themselves to pay extra attention to things that are important - like police officers learn to scan crowds for faces and conductors can listen for individual instruments within the orchestra as a whole.Many more think they can effectively multitask,but are actually shifting their attention rapidly between two things and not getting the full effect of either,experts say.9.What have scientists in University of California found about "the cocktail-party effect"?______A. Usually there is only one person who is speaking alone.B. All kinds of annoying sounds drive up the decibel level.C. The higher brain processes sounds and images selectively.D. Sounds are sorted out before reaching the higher brain,10.What do we learn from the passage?______A. We are biologically incapable of multitasking.B. We survive distractions in life by multitasking,C. We cannot multitask without extra attention.D. We benefit from pushing the limit with multitasking.11.Which of the following is an example of "inattentional blindness"?______A. A careless driver lost his eyesight after a car accident.B. Police scanned the crowds and located the criminal.C. A manager talked on a hands-free phone with his client,D. A pedestrian had a car accident because of phubbing.12.The main purpose of the passage is to ______ .A. compare and contrastB. inform and explainC. argue and discussD. examine and evaluate【答案】【小题1】D 【小题2】A 【小题3】D 【小题4】D【解析】1-4 DADD1.D.细节理解题.根据"Dozens of conversations are driving up the decibel (分贝)level.Yet among all those distractions,you can tune your attention to just one voice frommany.This ability is what researchers call the "cocktail-party effect.""可知"鸡尾酒会效应"就是声音在到达更高的大脑之前被分类.故选D.2.A.推理判断题.根据"But we keep trying to push the limit with multitasking,sometimes with tragic consequences.Drivers talking on cellphones,for example,are four times as likely to get into traffic accidents as those who aren't."可知我们在生理上不能同时处理多项任务.故选A.3.D.细节理解题.根据"Many of those accidents are due to "inattentional blindness",in which people can,in effect,turn a blind eye to things they aren't focusing on.The more attention a task demands,the less attention we can pay to other things in our field of vision"可知一个行人因低头而发生车祸是"inattentional blindness"的例子.故选D.4.D推理判断题.根据"Many more think they can effectively multitask,but are actually shifting their attention rapidly between two things and not getting the full effect of either,experts say."可知这篇文章的主要目的是检查和评价.故选D.本文是一篇文学艺术类阅读,文章主要介绍了你在一个聚会上.数十次的对话正在提高分贝.然而,在所有这些让你分心的事物中,你可以把注意力集中在一个声音上.这种能力被研究人员称为"鸡尾酒会效应".此题主要考查学生的细节理解和推理判断能力.做细节理解题时一定要找到文章中的原句,和题干进行比较,再做出正确选择.在做推理判断题时不要以个人的主观想象代替文章的事实,要根据文章事实进行合乎逻辑的推理判断.BNothing is more refreshing on a warm summer day than watching someone else work.Right now,I'm sitting on my porch and watching young Beth baling (打捆)the big field on top of the hill.She's been haying that field for over ten years.I know:I put her on the tractor when she was just twelve years old.She picked a great day for baling.It's not too hot,and there's a nice breeze.On Monday,when she cut the field,it was so hot I thought the com would start popping in the field.Didn't stop her,though.She just stuck that big hat on her head,wrapped a wet handkerchief around her neck,and set to work,I remember when I would have done the same thing.While Pm here sucking a lemonade,Beth is driving the "hay (干草)train," a tractor pulling a baler and an old wagon.You'd think someone her size would never be able to see over the tractor.But somehow she manages.When she's finished,her tracks are very straight.The whole time she's haying,that dog of hers is working just as hard,running along beside her like he's afraid she'll drive away without him.Beth sure knew what she was doing when she trained him.The way the machine works is pure poetry.Each row is pushed into shape.When just enough hay is in a bale,it is wrapped up and fastened together.A second or so later,the bale comes flying out and into the old wagon.The person who invented that machine sure was some kind of genius.That's not to say it works perfectly.Every once in a while a bale misses the mark,especially when you are turning the machine at the end of a row.That means,of course,that you have to go back and pick up those bales and throw them into the wagon.I can remember when Beth's mother was her age.She looked an awful lot like Beth does now.Makes a man proud to see his daughter and granddaughter taking such good care of themselves.Well,I suppose I should get up and fill this glass again.Not much fun sitting here with an empty glass.13.We can learn from the passage that at some time in the past the author ______ .A. bought the tractor for BethB. forced Beth to work at an early ageC. worked in the field like BethD. trained the dog to help Beth work14.In the eyes of the author,the sight of Beth baling hay is ______ .A. uncommonB. beautifulC. unforgettableD. changeable15.Before thrown into the wagon,the hay must be ______ .A. tied upB. dried upC. cut upD. lined up16.Who do you think is telling this story?______A. Beth's mother.B. Beth's father.C. Beth's grandmother.D. Beth's grandfather.【答案】【小题1】C 【小题2】B 【小题3】A 【小题4】D【解析】1.C.细节理解题.根据文章第三段"I remember when I would have done the same thing"我记得我也会做同样的事,可知作者也曾像Beth一样在田里工作,故选C.2.B.推理判断题.根据文章第八段"Makes a man proud to see his daughter and granddaughter taking such good care of themselves"让一个男人感到自豪地看到他的女儿和孙女照顾好自己,可知作者对于Beth工作的场景是非常满意的,可推测Beth在作者的眼里十分美丽,故选B.3.A.细节理解题.根据文章第七段"that you have to go back and pick up those bales and throw them into the wagon"你必须回去把那些打包扔进车里,可知应先将它们打包,故选A.4.D.细节理解题.根据文章第八段"Makes a man proud to see his daughter and granddaughter taking such good care of themselves"让一个男人感到自豪地看到他的女儿和孙女照顾好自己,可知作者是Beth的外公,故选D.本文属于记叙文阅读,作者通过这篇文章向我们叙述了他坐在一边看孙女Beth在地里工作的样子,想起了自己与Beth的母亲也曾经在这地里做着同样的工作,并且深深地为看到他的女儿和孙女能够照顾好自己而感到自豪.做这类题材阅读理解时要求考生对文章通读一遍,做题时结合原文和题目有针对性的找出相关语句进行仔细分析,结合选项选出正确答案.推理判断题也是要在抓住关键句子的基础上合理的分析才能得出正确答案,切忌胡乱猜测,一定要做到有理有据.CRobert F.Kennedy once said that a country's GDP measures "everything except that which makes life worthwhile".With Britain voting to leave the European Union,and GDP already predicted to slow as a result,it is now a timely moment to assess what he was referring to.The question of GDP and its usefulness has annoyed policymakers for over half acentury.Many argue that it is a flawed concept It measures things that do not matter and misses things that do.By most recent measures,the UK's GDP has been the envy of the Western world,with record low unemployment and high growth figures.If everything,was going so well,then why did over 17 million people vote for Brexit,despite the warnings about what it could do to their country's economic prospects?A recent annual study of countries and their ability to convert growth into well-being sheds some light on that question.Across the 163 countries measured,the UK is one of the poorest performers in ensuring that economic growth is translated into meaningful improvements for its citizens.Rather than just focusing on GDP,over 40 different sets of criteria from health,education and civil society engagement have been measured to get a more rounded assessment of how countries are performing.While all of these countries face their own challenges,there are a number of consistent themes.Yes,there has been a budding economic recovery since the 2008 global crash,but in key indicators in areas such as health and education,major economies have continued to decline.Yet this isn't the case with all countries.Some relatively poor European countries have seen huge improvements across measures including civil society,income equality and the environment.This is a lesson that rich countries can learn;When GDP is no longer regarded as the sole measure of a country's success,the world looks very different.So,what Kennedy was referring to was that while GDP has been the most common method for measuring the economic activity of nations,as a measure,it is no longer enough,It does not include important factors such as environmental quality or education outcomes - all things that contribute to a person's sense of well-being.The sharp hit to growth predicted around the world and in the UK could lead to a decline in the everyday services we depend on for our well-being and for growth.But policymakers who refocus efforts on improving well-being rather than simply worrying about GDP figures could avoid the forecasted doom and may even see progress.17.Robert F,Kennedy is cited because he ______ .A. praised the UK for its GDPB. identified GDP with happinessC. saw the problem with GDPD. misinterpreted the role of GDP18.Which of the following is true about the recent annual study?______A. It is sponsored by 163 countries.B. It excludes GDP as an indicator.C. Its criteria are questionable.D. Its results are inspiring.19.In the last two paragraphs,the author suggests that ______ .A. the UK is preparing for an economic boomB. high GDP predicts an economic declineC. it is essential to consider factors beyond GDPD. it requires caution to handle economic issues20.Which of the following is the best title for the text?______A. High GDP But Inadequate Well-being,a UK LessonB. GDP Figures,a Window on Global Economic HealthC. Robert F.Kennedy,a Terminator of GDPD. Brexit,the UK's Gateway to Well-being【答案】【小题1】A 【小题2】D 【小题3】C 【小题4】A【解析】1.A.细节理解题.根据文章With Britain voting to leave the European Union, and GDP already predicted to slow as a re sult, it is now a timely moment to assess what he was referring to可知肯尼迪被引用,因为他赞扬英国国内生产总值;故选A.2.D.细节理解题.根据文章 A recent annual study of countries and their ability to convert growth into well-being she ds some light on that question可知最近的年度研究其结果令人鼓舞;故选D.3.C.细节理解题.根据文章The sharp hit to growth predicted around the world and in the UK could lead to a decline in th e everyday services we depend on for our well-being and for growth可知在最后两段中,作者必须考虑国内生产总值以外的因素建议;故选C.4.A.细节理解题.根据文章But policymakers who refocus efforts on improving well-being rather than simply worrying a bout GDP figures could avoid the forecasted doom and may even see progress可知最佳标题是国内生产总值较高,但福利不足,是一个英国的教训;故选A本文属于说明文阅读,作者通过这篇文章主要向我们描述了国内生产总值较高,但福利不足,是一个英国的教训考察学生的细节理解和推理判断能力,做细节理解题时一定要找到文章中的原句,和题干进行比较,再做出正确的选择.在做推理判断题不要以个人的主观想象代替文章的事实,要根据文章事实进行合乎逻辑的推理判断.DWinners Club You choose to be a winner!The Winners Club is a bank account specially designed for teenagers.It has been made to help you better manage your money.The Winners Club is a transaction account (交易账户)where you receive a key-card so you can get to your money 24/7-that's 24 hours a day,7 days a week!It's a club with impressive features for teenagers:No account keeping fees!You're no millionaire so we don't expect you to pay large fees.In fact,there are no account keeping or transaction fees!Excellent interest rates!You want your money to grow.The Winners Club has a good rate of interest which gets even better if you make at least two deposits (储蓄)without taking them out in a month.Convenient!Teenagers are busy-we get that,You may never need to come to a bank at all.With the Winners Club you can choose to use handy tellers and to bank from home using the phone and the Internet…You can have money directly deposited into your Winners Club account.This could be your pocket money or your pay from your part-time job!Mega magazine included!Along with your regular report,you will receive a FREE magazine full of good ideas to make even more of your money.There are also fantastic offers and competitions only for Winners Club members.The Winners Club is a great choice for teenagers.And it is so easy to join.Simply fill in an application form.You will have to get permission from your parent or guardian (so we canorganize that cool key-card)but it is easy.We canst wait to hear from you.If s the best way to choose to be a winner!21.Which of the following is TRUE about the Winners Club?______A.

2018年北京市海淀区人大附中高考英语模拟试卷(6月份)-教师用卷

2018年北京市海淀区人大附中高考英语模拟试卷(6月份)副标题一、阅读理解(本大题共8小题,共16.0分)AWhat Cocktail Parties Teach Us You're at a party.Music is playing.Glasses are clinking.Dozens of conversations are driving up the decibel (分贝)level.Yet among all those distractions,you can tune your attention to just one voice from many.This ability is what researchers call the "cocktail-party effect."Scientists at the University of California in San Francisco have found where that sound-editing process occurs in the brain-in the auditory cortex (听觉皮层)just behind the ear,not in areasof higher thought.The auditory cortex boosts some sounds and turns down others so that when the signal reaches the higher brain,"it's as if only one person was speaking alone," says investigator Edward Chang.These findings,published in the journal Nature last week,explain why people aren't very good at multitasking-our brains are wired for "selective attention" and can focus on only one thing at a time.That inborn ability has helped humans survive in a world buzzing with visual and auditory stimulation (刺激).But we keep trying to push the limit with multitasking,sometimes with tragic consequences.Drivers talking on cellphones,for example,are four times as likely to get into traffic accidents as those who aren't.Many of those accidents are due to "inattentional blindness",in which people can,in effect,turn a blind eye to things they aren't focusing on.The more attention a task demands,the less attention we can pay to other things in our field of vision.Images land on our retinas (视网膜)and are either boosted or played down in the visual cortex before being passed to the brain,just as the auditory cortex filters sounds,as shown in the Nature study last week."It's a push-pull relationship-the more we focus on one thing,the less we can focus on others," says Diane M.Beck,an associate professor of psychology at the University of Illinois.Studies over the past decade at the University of Utah show' that drivers talking on hands-free cellphones are just as influenced as those on hands-held phones because it is the conversation,not the device that is distracting their attention.Those talking on any kind of cellphone react more slowly and miss more traffic signals than other motorists.Some people can train themselves to pay extra attention to things that are important - like police officers learn to scan crowds for faces and conductors can listen for individual instruments within the orchestra as a whole.Many more think they can effectively multitask,but are actually shifting their attention rapidly between two things and not getting the full effect of either,experts say.1.What have scientists in University of California found about "the cocktail-party effect"?______A. Usually there is only one person who is speaking alone.B. All kinds of annoying sounds drive up the decibel level.C. The higher brain processes sounds and images selectively.D. Sounds are sorted out before reaching the higher brain,2.What do we learn from the passage?______A. We are biologically incapable of multitasking.B. We survive distractions in life by multitasking,C. We cannot multitask without extra attention.D. We benefit from pushing the limit with multitasking.3.Which of the following is an example of "inattentional blindness"?______A. A careless driver lost his eyesight after a car accident.B. Police scanned the crowds and located the criminal.C. A manager talked on a hands-free phone with his client,D. A pedestrian had a car accident because of phubbing.4.The main purpose of the passage is to ______ .A. compare and contrastB. inform and explainC. argue and discussD. examine and evaluate【答案】【小题1】D 【小题2】A 【小题3】D 【小题4】D【解析】1-4 DADD1.D.细节理解题.根据"Dozens of conversations are driving up the decibel (分贝)level.Yet among all those distractions,you can tune your attention to just one voice from many.This ability is what researchers call the "cocktail-party effect.""可知"鸡尾酒会效应"就是声音在到达更高的大脑之前被分类.故选D.2.A.推理判断题.根据"But we keep trying to push the limit with multitasking,sometimes with tragic consequences.Drivers talking on cellphones,for example,are four times as likely to get into traffic accidents as those who aren't."可知我们在生理上不能同时处理多项任务.故选A.3.D.细节理解题.根据"Many of those accidents are due to "inattentional blindness",in which people can,in effect,turn a blind eye to things they aren't focusing on.The more attention a task demands,the less attention we can pay to other things in our field of vision"可知一个行人因低头而发生车祸是"inattentional blindness"的例子.故选D.4.D推理判断题.根据"Many more think they can effectively multitask,but are actually shifting their attention rapidly between two things and not getting the full effect of either,experts say."可知这篇文章的主要目的是检查和评价.故选D.本文是一篇科教类阅读,文章主要介绍了你在一个聚会上.几十个对话正在推高分贝(分贝)水平.然而,在所有这些让你分心的事物中,你可以把注意力集中在一个声音上.这种能力被研究人员称为"鸡尾酒会效应".做这类题材阅读理解时要求考生对文章通读一遍,做题时结合原文和题目有针对性的找出相关语句进行仔细分析,结合选项选出正确答案.推理判断题也是要在抓住关键句子的基础上合理的分析才能得出正确答案,切忌胡乱猜测,一定要做到有理有据.BRobert F.Kennedy once said that a country's GDP measures "everything except that which makes life worthwhile".With Britain voting to leave the European Union,and GDP already predicted to slow as a result,it is now a timely moment to assess what he was referring to.The question of GDP and its usefulness has annoyed policymakers for over half a century.Many argue that it is a flawed concept It measures things that do not matter and misses things that do.By most recent measures,the UK's GDP has been the envy of the Western world,with record low unemployment and high growth figures.If everything,wasgoing so well,then why did over 17 million people vote for Brexit,despite the warnings about what it could do to their country's economic prospects?A recent annual study of countries and their ability to convert growth into well-being sheds some light on that question.Across the 163 countries measured,the UK is one of the poorest performers in ensuring that economic growth is translated into meaningful improvements for its citizens.Rather than just focusing on GDP,over 40 different sets of criteria from health,education and civil society engagement have been measured to get a more rounded assessment of how countries are performing.While all of these countries face their own challenges,there are a number of consistent themes.Yes,there has been a budding economic recovery since the 2008 global crash,but in key indicators in areas such as health and education,major economies have continued to decline.Yet this isn't the case with all countries.Some relatively poor European countries have seen huge improvements across measures including civil society,income equality and the environment.This is a lesson that rich countries can learn;When GDP is no longer regarded as the sole measure of a country's success,the world looks very different.So,what Kennedy was referring to was that while GDP has been the most common method for measuring the economic activity of nations,as a measure,it is no longer enough,It does not include important factors such as environmental quality or education outcomes - all things that contribute to a person's sense of well-being.The sharp hit to growth predicted around the world and in the UK could lead to a decline in the everyday services we depend on for our well-being and for growth.But policymakers who refocus efforts on improving well-being rather than simply worrying about GDP figures could avoid the forecasted doom and may even see progress.5.Robert F,Kennedy is cited because he ______ .A. praised the UK for its GDPB. identified GDP with happinessC. saw the problem with GDPD. misinterpreted the role of GDP6.Which of the following is true about the recent annual study?______A. It is sponsored by 163 countries.B. It excludes GDP as an indicator.C. Its criteria are questionable.D. Its results are inspiring.7.In the last two paragraphs,the author suggests that ______ .A. the UK is preparing for an economic boomB. high GDP predicts an economic declineC. it is essential to consider factors beyond GDPD. it requires caution to handle economic issues8.Which of the following is the best title for the text?______A. High GDP But Inadequate Well-being,a UK LessonB. GDP Figures,a Window on Global Economic HealthC. Robert F.Kennedy,a Terminator of GDPD. Brexit,the UK's Gateway to Well-being【答案】【小题1】A 【小题2】D 【小题3】C 【小题4】A【解析】1.A.推理判断题.根据第一段第一句"Robert F.Kennedy once said that a country's GDP measures "everything except that which makes life worthwhile."中可以看出Kennedy 认为一个国家的GDP衡量的是"除了使生命有价值之外的一切".从下文也可以看出作者也认为GDP有许多缺点,所以作者引用Kennedy 来赞扬英国的GDP.故选A.2.D.细节推理题.根据第三段第一句"A recent annual study of countries and their ability to convert growth into well-being sheds some light on that question.",可知关于最近的年度研究,它的结果令人鼓舞,故选D.3.C.推理判断题.根据最后一段"So what Kennedy was referring to was that while GDP has been the most common method for measuring the economic activity of nations,as a measure,it is no longer enough.It does not include important factors such as environmental quality or education outcomes - all things that contribute to a person's sense of well-being." 可知在最后两段中,作者建议考虑GDP以外的因素是必要的.故选C.4.A.主旨大意题.文章在开头引用了Kennedy对于GDP的负面评价,并通过英国脱欧这个案例来引出需要考虑GDP这个评价机制的好坏,中间各段在分析英国GDP表现好,但实际英国社会现状却不好,最后在倒数第二自然段指出This is a lesson that rich countries can learn.A项概括全文,适合作为标题.故选A.文章通过英国脱欧这个案例来引出需要考虑GDP这个评价机制的好坏,GDP 不再够用了,它没有包含重要的因素.推理判断题属于主观题,是层次较高的题目.此类题要求在理解表面文字的基础上,做出判断和推论,从而得到文章的隐含的意思和深层的意思,也就是通过文章中的文字信息,上下逻辑关系及事物的发展变化等已知的信息,推断出作者没有直接表达的态度和观点.。

Yet many American teachers say they feel overworked, undervalued, and underpaid. This has led to what education experts call “teacher burnout,” a feeling of mental, physical, and emotional exhaustion.In all, nearly 50 percent of American teachers leave the profession before their fifth year. That information comes from a 2010 study by the advisory service McKinsey & Company.And, a 2016 study from Penn State University found that 46 percent of teachers report high daily stress. Teachers say the stress affects their sleep, health, teaching performance, and quality of life. The study identified mindfulness training as one promising solution for improving teacher well-being.The Greater Good Science Center at the University of California — Berkeley studies the science and practice of well-being. It defines mindfulness as keeping “a moment-by-moment awareness of our thoughts, feelings, bodily sensations, and surrounding environment.”A person can reach this emotional state by spending time in quiet thought, without judging these thoughts and feelings. A number of people also meditate — they take slow, deep breaths to become calm.Many organizations around the country have designed mindfulness training programs for schools. Some of them are designed for teachers. The programs seek to reduce teacher stress while helping them be more effective in the classroom.Maureen Naughton is a seventh grade science teacher at a public middle school in the Bronx section of New York City. As a highly active teacher, Naughton would sometimes forget to take time to herself. But after the programs she shared the methods such as mindful walking and mindful eating — ways of enjoying those activities fully instead of being distracted by worries or responsibilities.Naughton also said the deep breathing methods help her to maintain calm when faced with the stress oftrying to “meet everyone’s needs”.25. What does “teacher burnout” in Paragraph 1 mean?A. A condition of happiness and sorrow.B. A situation of physical exercise.C. A feeling of mental, physical, and emotional tiredness.D. A feeling of mental, physical, and emotional relaxation.26. What do mindfulness training programs designed for teachers try to do?A. They try to make teachers take slow, deep breaths to become calm.B. They try to reduce teacher stress to help teachers be more effective when teaching.C. They try to make teachers enjoy those activities fully.D. They try to make teachers spend time in quiet thought, without judging these thoughts and feelings.27. What can we infer from Naughton’s words?A. The deep breathing methods are a good way to let her keep calm when faced with stress.B. She dislikes the deep breathing methods.C. Don’t be distracted by worries or possibiliti es.D. Enjoy all kinds of activities carefully.C(河南省豫南北名校2018届高三精英联赛)Pollution's great effects on the environment have become more obvious in recent years, leading to a movement to promote energy efficiency(效率),less reliance on fossil(化石) fuels, and a reduction in air and water pollution. Most scientists agree that such changes are necessary to protect our environment from further harm.The construction industry consumes a large quantity of energy and resources and creates a huge amount of pollution. In the United States, building and development account for 39% of the country's total energy use, 12% of total water consumption,68% of total electricity consumption and 38% of carbon dioxide emissions (二氧化碳排放), according to the Environment Protection Agency.Green buildings use less energy, water, create less waste, and are healthier to live, work, and go to school in than standard buildings. Builders of green buildings use techniques that use resources more efficientlyduring the entire building cycle—construction, restoration, operation, maintenance(维护)and demolition (拆毁)—than those who construct more regular buildings.The environmental benefits of building green include the protection of ecosystems(生态系统)and biodiversity, improved air and water quality, less waste flowing into streams, and the protection of natural resources. Green buildings can also result in lower operating costs because they typically use less energy and fewer materials and improve indoor air quality, improving the health of people who live in such buildings.The process of building green includes technical and artistic planning with nature protection in mind. Building designs often reflect the surrounding environment and natural resources and use renewable building materials such as bamboo and straw. In addition, recycled resources found locally are used for green buildings, reducing the cost and air pollution associated with transporting materials over long distances.Careful site selection is important to minimize(最小化)human impact on the surrounding environment. For example, placing a structure in an area that allows it to take advantage of cool breezes(微风)and sunlight can reduce energy use and expenses. More energy and expense are needed for larger buildings as well, so it is important to build small.Green roofs are another feature of green houses that reduce energy use and cost. These roofs are partly or completely covered with plants, which helps to keep heating and cooling costs, prevent water running off and deal with pollutants.Other features of green buildings often include energy and water conservation, recycling, and waste reduction. In addition, renewable energy sources such as solar power, hydropower(水能)and wind power are used for heat and electricity, which greatly reduces costs and decreases the impact on the environment.28. What is the text mainly about?A. The necessity of promoting energy efficiency.B. The process of building green buildings.C. The benefits and features of green buildings.D. Green buildings effects on the environment.29. According to the text, green buildings refer to the buildings that______.A. produce no wasteB. only use clean energyC. are made of recycled materialsD. use energy and resources more efficiently30. Which of the following statements is TRUE about green buildings?A. They rely on fossil fuels and solar power for heat and electricity.B. Small buildings are less efficient in energy use than larger ones.C. The ecosystem has to be considered when building a green building.D. They are difficult to maintain and thus need more operating costs.31. Why are green roofs used?A. They fit the surrounding environment well.B. They are cheaper than other kinds of roofs.C. They can keep natural water for use in everyday life.D. They can help to control the temperature in the building well.D(河南省豫西南示范性高中2018届高三联考)Driverless technology will soon enter another major global industry: shipping. Several companies recently announced plans to launch self sailing ships to improve safety and efficiency.One of them is Norwegian chemical company Yara International. Yara has teamed up with another Norwegian company, Kongsberg, to build an autonomous goods ship expected to launch next year. Kongsberg developed the ship’s electrical t echnology and autonomous control systems. The ship is fully electric to reduce air pollution. It is designed to carry goods containers normally transported by truck. This means the ship will also improve road safety by replacing about 40,000 truck trips a year. The company plans to operate the ships by far-away control beginning sometime next year. By 2020, the ships should be loading and sailing themselves. While Yara’s ships will be limited to Norway at first, the company plans to greatly expand its autonomous shipping operations in the coming years.Another company putting a high priority (优先) to self sailing ships is the world’s largest mining company, Australia’s BHP Billiton. The company’s Vice President of Freight, Rashpal Bhatti, recently spoke about the technology in a website post. Bhatti believes automation will be one of the biggest changes for shipping in the future. He said, “Autonomous ships offer significant opportunities to improve safety andprovide better effectiveness results to the supply chain of the sea.” He added that self-sailing ships could become a reality within the next decade.Rolls-Royce, the British automobile and engine manufacturer, is also developing unmanned shipping technologies. Oskar Levander is the company’s head of operations at sea. He told a conference last year, “This is happening. It’s not if, it’s when.”Levander said these autonomous ships could be controlled by far-away operators from anywhere. He added, “Because these ships will be designed to be unmanned, they c an be built smaller, more efficient and environmentally friendly.”32. Why have several countries announced plans to produce self-sailing ships?A. To save money.B. To develop electrical technology in ships.C. To compete in autonomous control systems.D. To make shipping more effective and less risky.33. How will the Norwegian autonomous ship be developed?A. On the basis of Rolls-Royce.B. By a single company independently.C.

A(广东省五校2018届高三12月联考)The Whizzfizzing FestivalOne of the “Home Counties” to the north and west of London, Buckinghamshire is known for the rolling Chiltern Hills, its pretty villages, and the much-loved children’s author Roald Dahl.The writer who penned Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, The Witches, Matildo and The Big Friendly Giant is the inspiration for the Whizzfizzing festival—which will transform the market-town of Aylesbury into all kinds of music, colour and fun on Saturday, 1 July.Formerly known as The Roald Dahl Festival, this year’s event will celebrate a broad range of children’s films and bring to life some of its best-loved characters—from Alice in Wonderland and the Gruffalo to The Big Friendly Giant and Harry Potter.The festivities start at 11 am with a colourful children’s parade. More than 650 local school children and teachers, many in fancy dress, will march through the town carrying giant carnival puppets, with thousands of audiences lining the streets to watch.The parade will be followed with a range of child-friendly activities and workshops held in main streets across the town.Don’t be late for the Mad Hatters Tea Party in the BucksC ountryMuseum. Catch a splendid screening of a Roald Dahl movie in the Old Court House, watch leading children’s authors, including Julian Clary, and give readings in the Market Square.With hands on arts and crafts workshops, storytelling sessions, live music, a fancy dress competition, street theatre and more, there is something for everyone. For more information, visit:https:///aylesbury-whizzfizzing-festival-inspired-roald-dohl21. Who will show special interest in the Whizzfizzing Festival?A. Children.B. Film stars.C. Publishers.D. Children’s authors.22. Which film was made from Roald Dahl’s works?A. Gruffalo.B. Harry Potter.C. Alice in Wonderland.D. The Big Friendly Giant.23. Which of the following best describes the Whizzfizzing Festival?A. Various.B. Global.C. Serious.D. Ordinary.B(河北省五个一联盟2018届高三上二次联考)Two of the saddest words in the English language are “if only”. I live my life with the goal of never having to say those words, because they convey regret, lost opportunities, mistakes, and disappointment.My father is famous in our family for saying, “Take the extra minute to do it right.” I always try to live by the “extra minute” rule. When my children were young and likely to cause accidents, I always thought about what I could do to avoid an “if only” moment, whether it was somet hing minor like moving a cup full of hot coffee away from the edge of a counter, or something that required a little more work such as taping padding(衬垫) onto the sharp corners of a glass coffee table.I don’t only avoid those “if only” moments when it comes to safety. It’s equally important to avoid “if only” in our personal relationships. We all know people who lost a loved one and regretted that they hadforgone an opportunity to say “I love you” or “I forgive you”. When my father announced he was going to the eye doctor across from my office on Good Friday, I told him that it was a holiday for my company and I wouldn’t be here. But then I thought about the fact that he’s 84 years old and I realized that I shouldn’t miss an opportunity to see him. I called him and told him I had decided to go to work on my day off after all.I know there will still be occasions when I have to say if only about something, but my life is definitely better because of my policy of doing everything possible to avoid that eventuality. And even though it takes an extra minute to do something right, or it occasionally takes an hour or two in my busy schedule to make a personal connection, I know that I’ m doing the right thing. I’m buying myself peace of mind and that’s the best kind of insurance for my emotional well-being.24. Why does the writer regard “if only” as two of the saddest words in the English language?A. Because people use them when they feel sad.B. Because they express regret and disappointment in life.C. Because they remind the writer of some sad experiences.D. Because they mean sad in the English language.25. What’s the meaning of the underlined word “foregone” in Paragraph 3?A. Given up.B. Come across.C. Got through.D. Held back.26. The author decided to go to her office on Good Friday to .A. see a doctorB. finish her workC. join a celebrationD. accompany her father27. What is the best title for the passage?A. Advice from My FatherB. Avoidance of Saying “If Only”C. The “Extra Minute” RuleD. The Importance of Emotional Well-beingC(辽宁省大连市2018届高三二次联考)“One of the reason I find this topic very interesting is because my mom was a smoker whe n I was younger,” says Lindson-Hawley, who studies tobacco and health at the University of Oxford.By studying about 700 adult smokers, she found out that mom quit the right way-by stopping abruptly and completely.In her study, participants were randomly(随机地) assigned to two groups. One had to quit abruptly on a given day, going from about a pack a day to zero. The other cut down gradually over the course of two weeks. People in both groups used nicotine replacement, like gum or spray. They also had talk therapy(疗法) with a nurse before and after quit day.Six months later, more people who had quit abruptly had stuck with it---more than one-fifth of them, compared to about one-seventh in the other group. Although these numbers appear low, it is much higher than if people try without support.And the quit rates were particularly convincing given that before the study started, most of the people had said they’d rather cut down gradually before quitting. “If you’re training for a marathon, you wouldn’t expect to turn up and just be able to run it. And I think people see that for smoking as well. They think, ‘Well, if I gradually reduce, it’s like practice,’” says Lindson-Hawley. But that wasn’t the case. Instead of giving people practice, the gradual reduction likely gave them addiction and withdrawal symptoms(脱瘾症状) before they even reached the day, which could be why fewer people in that group actually made it to that point. “Regardless of your stated preference, if you’re ready to quit, quitting abruptly is more effective,” says Dr. Gabriela Ferreira. “When you can quote a specific number like a fifth of the patients were able to quit, that’s acceptable. It gives them the encouragement, I think, to really go for it,” Ferreira says.People rarely manage to quit the first time they try. But at least, she says, they can maximize the odds of success.28. What dose Lindson-Hawley say about her mother?A. She quit smoking with her daughter’s help.B. She was also a researcher of tobacco and health.C. She studied the smoking patterns of adult smokers.D. She succeeded in quitting smoking abruptly.29. What kind of support did smokers receive to quit smoking in Lindson-Hawley’s study?A. They were given physical training.B. They were offered nicotine replacement.C. They were encouraged by psychologist.D. They were looked after by physicians.30. How does Dr. Gabriela Ferreira view the result of Lindson-Hawley’s experiment?A. It is encouraging.B. It is unexpected.C. It is impractical.D. It is misleading.31. Take the idea of “a marathon” (Para.5) as an example to show that quitting smoking.A. is something few can accomplishB. requires a lot of patienceC. needs some practice firstD. is a challenge at the beginningD(四川省南充一中2018届高三上第三次检测)My daughter went to see The Wild One recently and she commented that Marion Brando was wearing jeans so long ago. Of course he helped set the trend, so that got me thinking about the link between films and trends in fashion. Fashion and films have gone hand in hand for long. The Wild One is a good example: it appeared in 1954, starring Brando. Dressed in a black leather motorcycle jacket, leather cap and jeans, he created a look which is still considered “cool” today. Everyone from Madonna to middle-aged men is seen wearing the classic leather motorcycle jacket.Another strong influence on fashion trends was Breakfast at Tiffany’s, stalling Audrey Hepburn. She made famous the simple black chess that looks perfect at either a cocktail party or just standing around an expensive department store like Tiffany’s with a pastry and coffee in your hand, as Audrey Hepburn does in the film. She looks so elegant, wearing simple but beautiful dresses, big dark glasses and a string of pearls around her neck. Audrey Hepburn still influences women’s fashion with her “Tiffany’s look”.In more modem times, the film star Uma Thurman created a major fashion trend when she appeared in the film Pulp Fiction, made in 1994. Her style was very simple. Her black trousers, crisp white shirt and hair style was copied by women in the world.Influencing fashion trends can often be about timing. The movie Memoirs of a Geisha came just in time to start a trend in Japanese fashion. It starred the Chinese actress Zhang Ziyi, who wore beautiful silk kimonos (和服), and it won an Oscar for Costume Design. Many travel companies picked up oil the trend andran “geisha trips” to Japan. The film has also led to a regained interest in kimonos. It is now quite common to see young Japanese women wearing kimonos not just on traditional occasions, but at various social events. The fashion is also beginning to spread to western countries.32. What is the best title of the passage?A. Films and fashionB. Stars’ fashionC. Influential filmsD. Film cultures33. Who will people associate Madonna wearing the leather motorcycle jacket with?A. Zhang Ziyi.B. Audrey Hepburn.C. Uma Thurman.D. Marlon Brando.34. What is implied in the film Breakfast in Tiffany’s according to the passage?A. One can be active by wearing black.B. One can be elegant by wearing simply.C. One can be famous by looking perfect.D. One can be stylish by eating at Tiffany’s.35. What does the film Memoirs of a Geisha lead to?A. The popularity of the Chinese actress.B. The worldwide reading of Geisha stories.C. The recovery of interest in kimonos.D. The “geisha trips” to social events.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,选项中有两项为多余选项。

She’s been haying that field for over ten years. I know: I put her on the tractor when she was just twelve years old.She picked a great day for baling. It’s not too hot, and there’s a nice breeze. On Monday, when she cut the field, it was so hot I thought the com would start popping in the field. Didn’t stop her, though. She just stuck that big hat on her head, wrapped a wet handkerchief around her neck, and set to work, I remember when I would have done the same thing.While Pm here sucking a lemonade, Beth is driving the “hay (干草) train,〞a tractor pulling a baler and an old wagon. You’d think someone her size would never be able to see over the tractor. But somehow she manages. When she’s finished, her tracks are very straight.The whole time she’s haying, that dog of hers is working just as har d, running along beside her like he’s afraid she’ll drive away without him. Beth sure knew what she was doing when she trained him.The way the machine works is pure poetry. Each row is pushed into shape. When just enough hay is in a bale, it is wrapped up and fastened together. A second or so later, the bale comes flying out and into the old wagon. The person who invented that machine sure was some kind of genius.That’s not to say it works perfectly. Every once in a while a bale misses the mark, especiall y when you are turning the machine at the end of a row. That means, of course, that you have to go back and pick up those bales and throw them into the wagon.I can remember when Beth’s mother was her age. She looked an awful lot like Beth does now. Makes a man proud to see his daughter and granddaughter taking such good care of themselves.Well, I suppose I should get up and fill this glass again. Not much fun sitting here with an empty glass.36.We can learn from the passage that at some time in the past the author .A. bought the tractor for BethB. forced Beth to work at an early ageC. worked in the field like BethD. trained the dog to help Beth work37.In the eyes of the author, the sight of Beth baling hay is .A. uncommonB. beautifulC. unforgettableD. changeable38.Before thrown into the wagon, the hay must be .A. tied upB. dried upC. cut upD. lined up39.Who do you think is telling this story?A. Beth’s mother.B. Beth’s father.C. Beth’s grandmother.D. Beth’s grandfather.BWinners ClubYou choose to be a winner!The Winners Club is a bank account specially designed for teenagers.

To set up a club.B. To provide part-time jobs.C. To organize key-cards.D. To introduce a new banking service.CWhat Cocktail Parties Teach UsYou’re at a party. Music is playing. Glasses are clinking. Dozens of conversations are driving up the decibel (分贝) level. Yet among all those distractions, you can tune your attention to just one voice from many. This ability is what researchers call the “cocktail-party effect.〞Scientists at the University of California in San Francisco have found where that sound-editing process occurs in the brain—in the auditory cortex (听觉皮层) just behind the ear, not in areas of higher thought. The auditory cortex boosts some sounds and turns down others so that when the signal reaches the higher brain, “it’s as if only one person was speaking alone,〞says investigator Edward Chang.These findings, published in the journal Nature last week, explain why people aren’t very good at multitasking-our brains are wired for “selecti ve attention〞and can focus on only one thing at a time. That inborn ability has helped humans survive in a world buzzing with visual and auditory stimulation (刺激). But we keep trying to push the limit with multitasking, sometimes with tragic consequences. Drivers talking on cellphones, for example, are four times as likely to get into traffic accidents as those who aren’t.Many of those accidents are due to “inattentional blindness〞, in which people can, in effect, turn a blind eye to things they aren’t fo cusing on. The more attention a task demands, the less attention we can pay to other things in our field of vision. Images land on our retinas (视网膜) and are either boosted or played down in the visual cortex before being passed to the brain, just as the auditory cortex filters sounds, as shown in the Nature study last week. “It’s a push-pull relationship-the more we focus on one thing, the less we can focus on others,〞says Diane M. Beck, an associate professor of psychology at the University of Illinois.S tudies over the past decade at the University of Utah show’ that drivers talking on hands-free cellphones are just as influenced as those on hands-held phones because it is the conversation, not the device that is distracting their attention. Those talking on any kind of cellphone react more slowly and miss more traffic signals than other motorists.Some people can train themselves to pay extra attention to things that are important — like police officers learn to scan crowds for faces and conductors can listen for individual instruments within the orchestra as a whole. Many more think they can effectively multitask, but are actually shifting their attention rapidly between two things and not getting the full effect of either, experts say.43.What have scientists in University of California found about “the cocktail-party effect〞?A. Usually there is only one person who is speaking alone.B. All kinds of annoying sounds drive up the decibel level.C. The higher brain processes sounds and images selectively.D. Sounds are sorted out before reaching the higher brain,44.What do we learn from the passage?A. We are biologically incapable of multitasking.B. We survive distractions in life by multitasking,C. We cannot multitask without extra attention.D. We benefit from pushing the limit with multitasking.45.Which of the following is an example of “inattentional blindness〞?A. A careless driver lost his eyesight after a car accident.B. Police scanned the crowds and located the criminal.C. A manager talked on a hands-free phone with his client,D. A pedestrian had a car accident because of phubbing.46.The main purpose of the passage is to .A. compare and contrastB. inform and explainC. argue and discussD. examine and evaluateDRobert F. Kennedy once said that a country’s GDP measures “everything except that which makes life worthwhile〞. With Britain voting to leave the European Union, and GDP already predicted to slow as a result, it is now a timely moment to assess what he was referring to.The question of GDP and its usefulness has annoyed policymakers for over half a century. Many argue that it is a flawed concept It measures things that do not matter and misses things that do. By most recent measures, the UK’s GDP has been the envy of the Western w orld, with record low unemployment and high growth figures. If everything, was going so well, then why did over 17 million people vote for Brexit, despite the warnings about what it could do to their country’s economic prospects?A recent annual study of countries and their ability to convert growth into well-being sheds some light on that question. Across the 163 countries measured, the UK is one of the poorest performers in ensuring that economic growth is translated into meaningful improvements for its citizens. Rather than just focusing on GDP, over 40 different sets of criteria from health, education and civil society engagement have been measured to get a more rounded assessment of how countries are performing.While all of these countries face their own challenges, there are a number of consistent themes. Yes,there has been a budding economic recovery since the 2021 global crash, but in key indicators in areas such as health and education, major economies have continued to decline. Yet this isn’t the case with all countries. Some relatively poor European countries have seen huge improvements across measures including civil society, income equality and the environment.This is a lesson that rich countries can learn; When GDP is no longer regarded as the sole measure of a country’s success, the world looks very different.So, what Kennedy was referring to was that while GDP has been the most common method for measuring the economic activity of nations, as a measure, it is no longer enough, It does not include important factors such as environmental quality or education outcomes — all things that contribute to a person’s sense of well-being.The sharp hit to growth predicted around the world and in the UK could lead to a decline in the everyday services we depend on for our well-being and for growth. But policymakers who refocus efforts on improving well-being rather than simply worrying about GDP figures could avoid the forecasted doom and may even see progress.47.Robert F, Kennedy is cited because he .A. praised the UK for its GDPB. identified GDP with happinessC. saw the problem with GDPD. misinterpreted the role of GDP48.Which of the following is true about the recent annual study?A. It is sponsored by 163 countries.B. It excludes GDP as an indicator.C. Its criteria are questionable.D.

Which of the following best describes the Whizzfizzing Festival?A. Various.B. Global.C. Serious.D. Ordinary.B(河北省五个一联盟2018届高三上二次联考)Two of the saddest words in the Englishlanguage are “if only”. I live my life with the goal of never having to say those words, becausethey convey regret, lost opportunities, mistakes, and disappointment.My father is famous in our family for saying, “Take the extra minute to do it right.” I al try to live by the “extra minute” rule. When my children were young and likely to cause accidents,I always thought about what I could do to avoid an “if only” moment, whether it was somethingminor like moving a cup full of hot coffee away from the edge of a counter, or something thatrequired a little more work such as taping padding(衬垫) onto the sharp corners of a glass coffeetable.I don’t only avoid those “if only” moments when it comes to safety. It’s equally im avoid “if only” in our personal relationships. We all know people who lost a loved one andregretted that they had forgone an opportunity to say “I love you” or “I forgive you”. When m father announced he was going to the eye doctor across from my office on Good Friday, I told himthat it was a holiday for my company and I wouldn’t be here. But then I thought about the fact thathe’s 84 years old and I realized that I shouldn’t miss an opportunity to see him. I called him and told him I had decided to go to work on my day off after all.I know there will still be occasions when I have to say if only about something, but my life isdefinitely better because of my policy of doing everything possible to avoid that eventuality. Andeven though it takes an extra minute to do something right, or it occasionally takes an hour or twoin my busy schedule to make a personal connection, I know that I’ m doing the right thing. I’buying myself peace of mind and that’s the best kind of insurance for my emotional well-being.24. Why does the writer regard “if only” as two of the saddest words in the English language?A. Because people use them when they feel sad.B. Because they express regret and disappointment in life.C. Because they remind the writer of some sad experiences.D. Because they mean sad in the English language.25. What’s the meaning of the underlined word “foregone” in Paragraph 3?A. Given up.B. Come across.C. Got through.D. Held back.26. The author decided to go to her office on Good Friday to .A. see a doctorB. finish her workC. join a celebrationD. accompany herfather27. What is the best title for the passage?A. Advice from My FatherB. Avoidance of Saying “If Only”C. The “Extra Minute” RuleD. The Importance of Emotional Well-beingC(辽宁省大连市2018届高三二次联考)“One o f the reason I find this topic veryinteresting is beca use my mom was a smoker when I was younger,” says Lindson-Hawley, whostudies tobacco and health at the University of Oxford.By studying about 700 adult smokers, she found out that mom quit the right way-by stoppingabruptly and completely.In her study, participants were randomly(随机地) assigned to two groups. One had to quitabruptly on a given day, going from about a pack a day to zero. The other cut down gradually overthe course of two weeks. People in both groups used nicotine replacement, like gum or spray.They also had talk therapy(疗法) with a nurse before and after quit day.Six months later, more people who had quit abruptly had stuck with it---more than one-fifthof them, compared to about one-seventh in the other group. Although these numbers appear low,it is much higher than if people try without support.And the quit rates were particularly convincing given that before the study started, most ofthe people had said they’d rather cut down gradually before quitting. “If you’re trainiturn up and just be able to run it. And I think people see that formarathon, you wouldn’t expect tosayssmoking as well. They think, ‘Well, if I gradually reduce, it’s like practice,’” Lindson-Hawley. But that wasn’t the case. Instead of giving people practice, the gradualreduction likely gave them addiction and withdrawal symptoms(脱瘾症状) before they evenreached the day, which could be why fewer people in that group actually made it to that point.effective,” “Regardless of your stated preference, if you’re ready to quit, quitting abruptly is moresays Dr. Gabriela Ferreira. “When you can quote a specific number like a fifth of the patients wereable to quit, that’sacceptable. It gives them the encouragement, I think, to really go for it,” Ferreira says.People rarely manage to quit the first time they try. But at least, she says, they can maximize the odds of success.28. What dose Lindson-Hawley say about her mother?A. She quit smoking with her daughter’s help.B. She was also a researcher of tobacco and health.C. She studied the smoking patterns of adult smokers.D. She succeeded in quitting smoking abruptly.29. What kind of support did smokers receive to quit smoking in Lindson-Hawley’s study?A. They were given physical training.B. They were offered nicotine replacement.C. They were encouraged by psychologist.D. They were looked after by physicians.30. How does Dr. Gabriela Ferreira view the result of Lindson-Hawley’s experiment?A. It is encouraging.B. It is unexpected.C. It is impractical.D. It is misleading..31. Take the idea of “a marathon” (Para.5) as an example to show that quitting smokingA. is something few can accomplishB. requires a lot of patienceC. needs some practice firstD. is a challenge at the beginningD(四川省南充一中2018届高三上第三次检测)My daughter went to see The Wild One recently and she commented that Marion Brando was wearing jeans so long ago. Of course he helped set the trend, so that got me thinking about the link between films and trends in fashion. Fashion and films have gone hand in hand for long. The Wild One is a good example: it appearedin 1954, starring Brando. Dressed in a black leather motorcycle jacket, leather cap and jeans, he-agedcreated a look which is still considered “cool” today. Everyone from Madonna to middlemen is seen wearing the classic leather motorcycle jacket.Another strong influence on fashion trends was Breakfast at Tiffany’s, stalling Audre Hepburn. She made famous the simple black chess that looks perfect at either a cocktail party orjust standing around an expensive department store like Tiffany’s with a pastry and coffee in your hand, as Audrey Hepburn does in the film. She looks so elegant, wearing simple but beautifuldresses, big dark glasses and a string of pearls around her neck. Audrey Hepburn still influenceswomen’s fashion with her “Tiffany’s look”.In more modem times, the film star Uma Thurman created a major fashion trend when sheappeared in the film Pulp Fiction, made in 1994. Her style was very simple. Her black trousers,crisp white shirt and hair style was copied by women in the world.Influencing fashion trends can often be about timing. The movie Memoirs of a Geishacame just in time to start a trend in Japanese fashion. It starred the Chinese actress Zhang Ziyi,who wore beautiful silk kimonos (和服), and it won an Oscar for Costume Design. Many travelcompanies picked up oil the trend and ran “geisha trips” to Japan. The film has also led to a regained interest in kimonos. It is now quite common to see young Japanese women wearingkimonos not just on traditional occasions, but at various social events. The fashion is alsobeginning to spread to western countries.32. What is the best title of the passage?A. Films and fashionB. Stars’ fashionC. Influential filmsD. Filmcultures33. Who will people associate Madonna wearing the leather motorcycle jacket with?A. Zhang Ziyi.B. Audrey Hepburn.C. Uma Thurman.D. MarlonBrando.34. What is implied in the film Breakfast in Tiffany’s according to the passage?A. One can be active by wearing black.B. One can be elegant by wearing simply.C. One can be famous by looking perfect.D. One can be stylish by eating at Tiffany’s.35. What does the film Memoirs of a Geisha lead to?A. The popularity of the Chinese actress.B. The worldwide reading of Geisha stories.C. The recovery of interest in kimonos.D. The “geisha trips” to social events.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,选项中有两项为多余选项。

Well, the world is always bigger than our wallets. One of the simplest options is to find a place that has a lot to offer but hasn't yet been hit by price inflation that comes with mass popularity. To help travelers in search of value, we've assembled, with the help of professionals from USA Today, CNN and Lonely Planet, a list of destinations that are worth going to while they're still cheap.UkraineIts name translates as "land on the edge" , and this year Ukraine may be on the edge of discovery for budget travelers in search of rich history. Visitors can enjoy its culture wealth, the warmth of its people, and the fact that their daily spending is below $50 (307 yuan).The country's UNESCO World Heritage Sites are cooperating with locals to offer special deals, such as a traditional meal for just a few dollars. It's the kind of travel experience you will recall once the moment has passed, so now is the time to build those memories.South KoreaSouth Korea is a visitor-friendly country. Not only can budget travelers find the basics—from hotel rooms to great meals—at reasonable prices, but the country also has a ton of free parks, discounts and other services, especially for visitors. For instance, until August 25, a free shuttle bus transports foreign visitors between the capital city of Seoul and Jeonju, a popular tourist destination. A free phone service offers tourists multilingual assistance 24 hours a day.TurkeyTurkey is on the rise, so to get the best of the new at the price of the old, go now. In the last decade, the country's tourism facilities have grown by 67 percent, according to USA Today, and more recently it has emerged as a global airline hub. This country of ancient ruins, historic towns and beckoning beaches is a destination to watch this summer.EgyptPopular resort areas in Egypt, like Sharm El Sheikh, are as relaxing as they ever were—and also less stressful for your wallet. "The overall sentiment is that resort areas like Sharm El Sheikh are very safe, said Tony Cardoza, president of a US travel agency, in an interview with CNN. “But most vacationers appear to prefer traveling to places that haven't seen as much civil unrest." That preference has made Egypt a buyer's market. Low demand also has another benefit: smaller crowds.

She would howl, pace, and chew on things. Brooke learned that other people had the same problem with their pets. She wondered: "What if you could talk to your dog if you were gone"Working with her father in their garage, the 16-year-old came up with several ideas. Finally, she invented a device that allowed pet owners to video chat with their pets! She calls the device iCPooch. "The dog doesn't have to answer the call, "explains Brooke. "It comes up immediately on the screen on their end. It's a two-way audio and video—you can see and hear each other. "With a click of a button you can even send the dog a treat!Her invention has earned her a spot competing against nine other finalists in a young scientist competition for middle-school students. These finalists, selected based on their short video presentations, are working with mentors over the summer before heading to the final competition in St. Paul, Minn.After Martin's video put her among the 10 finalists in the Discovery Education 3M Young Scientist Challenge, she was paired with Delony Langer-Anderson, a product development scientist in 3M's consumer health care division. "I just lead her down the product development path, "Langer-Anderson told Live Science. This path includes guidance on how to test the potential product, which combines a video chat device that answers immediately on the dog's end with a dog treat device the owner can remotely activate."One thing I have thought about a lot is, what happens if the device is on the floor, what if your dog knocks it over, or scratches the screen?"Martin said. She and Langer-Anderson discussed this, and Martin is now testing materials at a local dog shelter by taping them to the dog house floors to see how well they withstand sharp teeth and claws.The finalists create models they can test, with the guidance from a mentor. Their projects include a fuel cell that transforms cut grass into electricity and an app that rewards drivers for not texting or calling. Langer-Anderson tries to help the students work through the scientific method, testing their hypothesis, ina determined way. "So the kids don't get buried in data, "she said.(1) Which of the following would be the best title of the textA. "iCPooch"wins in a young scientist competition.B. A 16-year-old girl invents a device for dogs'hunger.C. A man-made device lets people chat with their pets.D. A kid-invented device calms dogs' separation anxiety.(2) "iCPooch" calms pet dogs by.A. allowing video chatB. making dogs sleepC. answering the callD. giving them food(3) What is the probable meaning of the underlined word"mentors"?A. CompetitorsB. AssistantsC. InstructorsD. Companions(4) What do the inventions of the finalists have in common?A. They are all new inventions dealing with pets.B. They are possible solutions to everyday problems.C. They cope with the problems related to computers.D. They are all accomplished through individual work.19、【来源】 2018年北京海淀区北京大学附属中学高三零模(C篇)第43~46题8分The dream of the flying car could come down to earth soon as several start-ups like Chinese EHANG and Uber are developing so-called "passenger drones(无人机)" ---self-flying drones big enough to ferryindividual commuters around down --- which could shrink commute(上下班往返)times from hours to minutes.At first glance, human-carrying drones sound no more realistic than flying cars. Until recently inventors had never been able to marry automobiles and aircraft in a practical way. Yet a few companies have kept at it: Woburn, for example, has since 2006 been developing Transition, a "roadable aircraft" that resembles a small airplane that can fold its wings and drive on roads. A personal flying car in every garage has proved to be a tough sell, however, as there are serious safety concerns about asking the average commuter to train for a pilot's license and take to the skies.Passenger drones, by contrast, would operate autonomously and leave the "roadable" part behind in favor of larger versions of aircraft that already exist. Passenger drone designs favor "distributed electric propulsion(推进), " meaning instead of one large rotor powered by a large engine they have multiple propellers each powered by its own, smaller motor. This sacrifices lifting power and flight performance in exchange for mechanical simplicity and lighter weight --- factors that could make them cheaper to operate. Quieter electric power would make the noise tolerable to city residents, although it remains to be seen how much weight such a vehicle could lift, and for how long.With any of these vehicles safety, is the biggest concern and extends to both the aircraft and the automated systems flying them. Advanced artificial intelligence is needed to fly large numbers of autonomous aircraft without crashing them into one another or, say, the local news channel's traffic helicopter. Carrying people from points A to B seems simple enough, but even the best AI struggles with surprises: What, for example, would a drone do if a landing area suddenly became unavailable? asks Sanjiv Singh, a Carnegie Mellon University robotics researcher. Instead of leaping to fully automated passenger drones, he suggests first testing the necessary AI in unmanned cargo(货物)runs, and adopting a "mixed mode" approach in early passenger services where pilots are assisted by AI co-pilots.Technical challenges aside start-ups promoting the technology will have to find a way to convince the public to give their drones a whirl, something that requires a much bigger leap of faith than getting into the backseat of a self-driving car. Passenger drone makers are "obviously still in the incubation(孵化)stages of technology development and improving the basics, " says Mike Hirschberg, executive director of the American Helicopter Society International. "But 20 or 30 years from now, life may be a little like The Jetsons where you take advantage of the third dimension and have much more mobility, especially in urban close quarters where ground transportation is gridlocked."The passenger drone progress may follow a sloping takeoff rather than vertical leap. Carnegie Mellon's Singh sees a long road ahead filled with lots of testing, analysis, regulation and efforts to win the public's trust before the technology becomes a viable transportation option. "There is the danger of someone moving too fast and then having a problem that sets the industry back for some time, " he says. (1) Personal flying cars have failed to gain popularity among households mainlybecause.A. people don't have the courage to take the cars to the air.B. people are unwilling to train for a pilot's license.C. people worry that they may not be qualified to fly the cars safely.D. it is practically impossible to combine cars and aircraft together.(2) Which of the following is NOT an advantage of passenger drones?A. It can lift more weight.B. It is lighter in weight.C. It makes less noise.D. It is simpler in mechanical design.(3) What is Hirschberg's attitude towards passenger drones?A. disapprovingB. neutralC. skepticalD. cautiously optimistic(4) We can learn from the passage that.A. artificial intelligence can easily tackle the problems occurring in air traffic.B. human pilots in autonomous aircraft will endanger the safety of passengers.C. the passenger drone industry will make major breakthroughs in the near future.D. the public's distrust may hinder the development of passenger drones.20、【来源】 2018年北京海淀区北京大学附属中学高三零模(D篇)第47~50题8分What's the Difference Between Accuracy and Precision?As the story goes, the legendary marksman(神射手)William Tell was forced into a cruel challenge by a corrupt lord. William's son was to be killed unless William could shoot an apple off his head. William succeeded, but let's imagine two variations on the tale.In the first variation, the lord hires a guy to steal William's trusty crossbow(弩), so he is forced to borrow a worse one from a peasant. However, the borrowed crossbow isn't adjusted perfectly, andWilliam finds that his practice shots cluster in a tight spread beneath the bullseye(靶心). Fortunately, he has time to correct for it before it's too late.Variation two: William begins to doubt his skills in the long hours before the challenge and his hand develops a shake. His practice shots still cluster around the apple but in a random pattern. Occasionally, he hits the apple, but with the wobble(抖动), there is no guarantee of a bullseye.At the heart of these variations are two terms often used TAL#NBSP interchangeably: accuracy and precision. The distinction between the two is actually critical for many scientific endeavours. Accuracy involves how close you come to the correct result. Your accuracy improves with tools that are calibrated (校准)correctly and that you're well-trained on. Precision, on the other hand, is how consistently you can get that result using the same method. Your precision improves with more finely increased tools that require less estimation.You can probably get away with low accuracy or low precision in everyday tasks. But engineers and researchers often require accuracy on microscopic levels with a high certainty of being right every time. Factories and labs increase precision through better equipment and more detailed procedures. These improvements can be expensive, so managers must decide what the acceptable uncertainty for each project is.However, investments in precision can take us beyond what was previously possible, even as far as Mars. It may surprise you that NASA does not know exactly where their probes are going to touch down on another planet. Predicting where they will land requires extensive calculations fed by measurements that don't always have a precise answer. Computer simulators run thousands of different landing scenarios, mixing and matching values for all of the variables. Weighing all the possibilities, the computer spits out the potential area of impact in the form of a landing ellipse(椭圆).In 1976, the landing ellipse for the Mars Viking Lander was 62 x 174 miles, nearly the area of New Jersey. With such a limitation, NASA had to ignore many interesting but risky landing areas. Since then, new information about the Martian atmosphere, improved spacecraft technology, and more powerful computer simulations have drastically reduced uncertainty. In 2012, the landing ellipse for the Curiosity Lander was only 4 miles wide by 12 miles long, an area more than 200 times smaller than Viking's. This allowed NASA to target a specific spot in Gale Crater, a previously un-landable area of high scientific interest.While we ultimately strive for accuracy, precision reflects our certainty of reliably achieving it. With these two principles in mind, we can shoot for the stars and be confident of hitting them every time.(1) The stolen crossbow was an example of because William got the same wrong result each time he fired.A. accuracy without precisionB. precision without accuracyC. both accuracy and precisionD. neither accuracy nor precision(2) What does the underlined word "TAL#NBSP interchangeably" in the fourth paragraph mean?A. repeatedlyB. increasinglyC. switchablyD. differently(3) What can be inferred from the passage?A. Investments in precision are too expensive to be possible.B. People can get rid of low accuracy and low precision in everyday life.C. Gale Crater was not landed in the past because it was of low scientific interest.D. The landing place of Curiosity Lander can be more accurately predicted than that of Viking's.(4) What does the author think of accuracy and precision?A. Precision, instead of accuracy, is our ultimate goalB. Accuracy reflects our certainty of reliably achieving precision.C. The pursuit of both accuracy and precision helps us achieve our goal.D. The difference between accuracy and precision is not important at all四、七选五21、【来源】 2018年北京海淀区北京大学附属中学高三零模第51~55题10分2017~2018学年北京房山区北京市师范大学良乡附属中学高二上学期期末第31~35题7.5分2016年北京丰台区高三一模第71~75题10分Rhythm of LifeChoosing the right time to sleep, the correct moment to make decisions, the best hour to eat—and even go into hospital—could be your key to perfect health.Centuries after man discovered the rhythms(节奏、韵律)of the planets and the cycles of crops, scientists have learned that we too live by precise rhythms that govern everything from our basic bodily functions to mental skills. Man is a prisoner of time.But it's not just the experts who are switching on to the way our bodieswork.1Prince Charles consults a chart which tells him when he will be at his peak on a physical, emotional and intellectual level. Boxer Frank Bruno is another who charts his bio-rhythms to plan for big fights.2Sleep, blood pressure, hormone levels and heartbeat all follow their own clocks, which may bear only slight relation to our man-made 24-hour cycle.Research shows that in laboratory experiments when social signals and, most importantly, light indicators such as dawn are taken away, people lose touch with the 24-hour clock and sleeping patterns change. Temperature and heartbeat cycles lengthen and settle into "days"lasting about 25 hours.In the real world, light and dark keep adjusting internal clock to the 24-hour day. But the best indicator of performance is body temperature. As it falls from a 10 p.m. high of 37.2℃ to a pre-dawn low of 36.1℃, mental functions fall too.3The most famous example is the nuclear accident at Three Mile Island in the US. The three operators in the control room worked alternating(交替的)weeks of day, evening and nightshifts.4Investigators believe this caused the workers to overlook a warning light and fail to close an open valve.Finding the secret of what makes us tick has long fascinated scientists and work done over the last decade has yielded important clues.5For example, the time we eat may be important if we want to maximize intellectual or sporting performance. There is already evidence suggesting that the time when medicine is given to patients affects how well it works.A. The rhythm of life is a slight beat.B. The aim is to help us become more efficient(高效的).C. Jenny Hope claims to have tested their body clocks to the limit.D. This is a key reason why shift work can cause so many problems.E. Experts say every aspect of human bodies is influenced by daily rhythms.F. Many people study the state of their bio-rhythms before making their daily plans.G. Such a dangerous combination never gave their bodies' natural rhythms a chance to settle down.五、书面表达22、【来源】 2018年北京海淀区北京大学附属中学高三零模第56题15分假如你是李华,你的英国笔友Chris来信让你介绍你最喜欢的中国健身项目,请你根据以下提示,给他写封电子邮件,内容如下:1. 何时开始喜欢此项运动和原因;2. 现在练习的情况;3. 给你带来的益处。

B“I wish we hadn't come on this trip!” Jeff's voice echoed across the narrow canyon(峡谷). His father stopped, breathing heavily. “This is hard on you, but you’ve got to come through with courage!” He gently placed his hand on the boy's shoulder. “Now, I don't know if I can make it without stopping every so often. You're young, but you're strong and fast. Do you remember the way back from here to the road, if you had to go alone?”Jeff flashed back to the painful scene of Mark, his seventeen-year-old brother at their campsite. He was bitten by a snake yesterday. This morning he couldn't move, and the pain got worse. He needed medical attention right away. They had left their phone in the car, and it must have been out of power by then. Leaving Mark at the campsite and seeking help was their only choice.“Jeff, could you do it?”Jeff looked to the end of the canyon, several miles away. He nodded and a plan began to take hold in his mind. “What is the name of that little town we stopped, Dad?” There must be a hospital there.“Flint. We parked at the side of the road a few miles out of Flint.”Jeff nodded. Then they continued climbing. Stone by stone, they made their way up the canyon. Gradually, Jeff's father grew smaller and smaller in the distance. Jeff waved to him and then climbed toward the road. Two hours later, he finally reached the road and struggled toward the town, almost exhausted.“Can't stop,”he thought. “Mark's in big trouble. Keep going.”Suddenly, he saw a truck heading toward him. “Hey, mister!” he shouted, waving both arms. He began to jog toward the truck, and then broke into a full-speed run.His chest was burning with every breath when the truck driver stopped by him. Jeff explained breathlessly. The driver reached for his cellphone as soon as he heard about Mark. “Better get the helicopter in there,” he said immediately, But Jeff wasn't sure about that because everything gotunclear and then went black and quiet.Hours later, Jeff opened his eyes to find his father on a chair nearby, “You're a hero, son,” his father said with a smile. “You had the helicopter sent into the canyon after Mark. I can't tell you how happy I was when I saw it overhead. They got him to the hospital, He's going to be fine soon. I'm so proud of you!”39. Why did Jeff and his father climb up the canyon?A. They were going for rescue.B. They were doing physical exercise.C. They were meeting Jeff's brother.D. They were searching for their campsite.40. What happened to Mark?A. He lost his way.B.

ATo achieve further education, international students must take a standardized test of English. Three popular tests are TOEFL, TOEIC, and IELTS.Here are several introductions for a student applying to a school to learn which test the program requires.The TOEIC tests workplace communicationThe TOEIC test started in the 1970s. The TOEIC is based on English used in the workplace. But the test does not require knowledge of special business words. The questions come from real situations like attending a company meeting.ETS says that 14,000 organizations in 150 countries use the TOEIC.The TOEFL tests English used in the classroomThere are several versions of the TOEFL.Students take the Internet-based TOEFL, or TOEFL IBT, on a computer. Many U.S. universities require the TOEFL IBT for international student admissions. Another TOEFL is the paper-based TOEFL, or TOEFL ITP. It is part of ETS’s institutional testing program. TOEFL ITP is used within institutions for the purpose of placement or to evaluate progress of students. It is not accepted for entrance to universities.For young English learners, there are two new TOEFL tests. The TOEFL Junior T est is for youngpeople between 11 and 15 years old. And the TOEFL Primary T est is for those over the age of eight.IELTS tests academic and general language skillsThe IELTS has two forms. The Listening and Speaking sections are the same for both forms. In the Reading and Writing sections, however, there are two different tests.The Academic IELTS uses topics and materials covered in undergraduate, graduate, or professional programs.The General IELTS uses topics and material from everyday books, newspapers and magazines.1. Which kind of TOEFL is used within institutions for the purpose of placement or to evaluate progress of students?A. TOEFL IBT.B. TOEFL ITP.C. TOEFL Junior Test.D. TOEFL Primary T est.2. According to the passage, which description is Not right?A. The TOEIC test includes questions coming from real situations like attending a company meeting.B. Many U.S. universities require the TOEFL IBT forinternational student admissions.C. The Academic IELTS uses topics and materials covered in undergraduate, graduate, or professional programs.D. The Listening and Writing sections are the same for The Academic IELTS and The General IELTS.3. The writer wrote the article mainly to ___________.A. make an introduction about three popular testsB. place an advertisement for three popular testsC. give a business talk about three popular testsD. give a lesson on three popular testsBNASA on Thursday announced the discovery of Kepler-452b, the most Earth-like planet ever found.Located 1,400 light-years from our planet, NASA called it “Earth 2.0”, because it’s the first planet discovered in the habitable zone of a G star similar to our sun.“We can think of Kepler-452b as an older, bigger cousin to Earth, providing an opportunity to understand and reflect upon Earth’s evolving environment,” said Jon Jenkins, the Kepler data analysis lead at NASA's Ames Research Center.The planet is 5 percent farther away from its star than Earth is to the sun, making for a slightly longer year of 385 days, but gets similar light because its sun is 20 percent brighter than our own.“The sunshine from this star would feel very similar to the sunshine from our star,” Jenkins told reporters.NASA believes the planet has a mass about five times more massive than Earth’s, with a rocky surface below a thicker atmosphere than our own. Gravity would be about twice as strong on Kepler-452b as it is on Earth, NASA said.The planet is located in the Kepler-452 system in the constellation Cygnus (天鹅座). Its sun has the same surface temperature as our own, but has a diameter that is 10 percent larger. While NASA scientists have no idea if Kepler-452b’s at mosphere is conducive to life, they do know that there has been plenty of time for organisms to develop.“It’s awe-inspiring to consider this planet spent 6 billion years in the habitable zone of its star, which is longer the age of the Ea rth,” Jenkins said. “That is considerable time and opportunity for life to arise somewhere on its surface or oceans if all the necessary conditions for life exist on this pla net.”4. The reason why NASA called Kepler-452b “Earth 2.0” is that ___________.A. it is 5 percent farther away from its star than Earth is to the sunB. it has a mass about five times more massive than Earth’sC. it’s the first planet discovered in the h abitable zone of a G star similar to our sunD. it is longer the age of the Earth5. According to the passage, we know that ____________.A. Kepler-452b is located in the constellation CygnusB. Kepler-452b’s atmosphere is conducive to lifeC. gravity would be about twice as strong on Earth as it is on Kepler-452bD. the sunshine from Kepler-452b would feel very different from the sunshine from earth6. The underlined part “habitable zone” in the last paragraph refers to ___________.A. a large area which is different from othersB. a small area which is the same as othersC. a large area which is good enough for people to live inD. a small area which is hard for people to live in7. What type of writing is the text? It’s ____________.A. an exhibition guide.B. an art show review.C. a science fictionD. a news reportCAre you trying to learn a new language in a foreign land? You might be better off if you stopped looking at that picture of your family and friends.New research from Columbia University found that prompting someone who is learning a new language with images and reminders of their own culture could temporarily ruin everything that the brain was trying to build. When native Chinese students were asked to talk with a Caucasian avatar (白种人的虚拟头像) and a Chinese avatar, their English skills were so different. Simply exposing students to a Chinese person affected their ability to speak English. Subjects who talked with the Chinese version felt more comfortable in their speech, but they produced 11% fewer words per minute. They actually became less fluent speakers.To make sure it wasn't just the avatar, researchers also showed people random images of China while the participants told a story. When pictures of their homeland appeared, fluency dropped 16% and volunteers were 85% more likely to use a literal translation, for example, calling pistachios “happy nuts”, because that's literally what the Chinese word for pistachio means.When the students were shown pictures of fish with one swimming ahead of the others, their culture would change how they look at the photo. With Chinese prompts (提示), like photos of the Great Wall or Chinese Dragon, etc. they saw more students thinking that the fish was being chased, while an American prompt, like pictures of Marilyn Monroe or Superman, saw those students believing that it was a leader fish. Why are our cultural symbols Marilyn Monroe and Superman?The bottom line is: when attempting to learn a new culture it is far better to surround yourself withthat culture than create an island of the old one.8. Why does the author use a question in the first paragraph?A. To raise a question.B. To arouse readers’ awareness.C. To introduce the topic.D. T o tell a story.9. The underlined word “pistachios” in the fou rth paragraph refers to ___________.A. picturesB. a kind of foodC. volunteersD. an image10. From the passage we can infer that ___________.A. with Chinese prompts, more students thought that it was a leader fishB. with an American prompt, more students thought that the fish was being chasedC. different images would change with different peopleD. different cultures would affect how students look at the photo11. According to the research, which is a better way for a student ina foreign land to learn a new culture?A. To surround himself with that culture.B. T o create an island of the old one.C. To see random images of China.D. T o talk with a Caucasian avatar.DJust three days after hitting the screen across China, the Chinese animation (动画) film “Monkey King: Hero is Back”aroused enthusiasm among audience and ticket sales have exceeded(超过)100 million yuan ($16.11 million). Web celebrities and many fans even posted top ics about the film on China’s Twitter-like Weibo, atwhich heated discussion are sparked.“Monkey King: Hero is Back” is based on the household legend of the Monkey King, but tells a not-so familiar story. However, it’s still a Chinese s tyle heroic legend and an exciting adventure against evil and darkness in troubled times, according to。

Yet many American teachers say they feel overwored, undervalued, and underpaid. This has led to what education eperts call “teacher burnout,” a feeling of mental, physical, and emotional ehaustion.In all, nearly 50 percent of American teachers leave the profession before their fifth year. That information comes from a 2010 study by the advisory service Mcinsey & Company.And, a 2016 study from Penn State University found that 46 percent of teachers report high daily stress. Teachers say the stress affects their sleep, health, teaching performance, and quality of life. The study identified mindfulness training as one promising solution for improving teacher well-being.The Greater Good Science Center at the University of California — Bereley studies the science and practice of well-being. It defines mindfulness as eeping “a moment-by-moment awareness of our thoughts, feelings, bodily sensations, and surrounding environment.”A person can reach this emotional state by spending time in quiet thought, without judging these thoughts and feelings. A number of people also meditate — they tae slow, deep breaths to become calm.Many organiations around the country have designed mindfulness training programs for schools. Some of them are designed for teachers. The programs see to reduce teacher stress while helping them be more effective in the classroom.Maureen Naughton is a seventh grade science teacher at a public middle school in the Bron section of New Yor City. As a highly active teacher, Naughton would sometimes forget to tae time to herself. But after the programs she shared the methods such as mindful waling and mindful eating — ways of enjoying those activities fully instead of being distracted by worries or responsibilities.Naughton also said the deep breathing methods help her to maintain calm when faced with the stress of trying to “meet everyone’s needs”.25.

Enjoy all inds of activities carefully.C(河南省豫南北名校2018届高三精英联赛)Pollution's great effects on the environment have become more obvious in recent years, leading to a movement to promote energy efficiency(效率),less reliance on fossil(化石) fuels, and a reduction in air and water pollution. Most scientists agree that such changes are necessary to protect our environment from further harm.The construction industry consumes a large quantity of energy and resources and creates a huge amount of pollution. In the United States, building and development account for 39% of the country's total energy use, 12% of total water consumption,68% of total electricity consumption and 38% of carbon dioide emissions(二氧化碳排放), according to the Environment Protection Agency.Green buildings use less energy, water, create less waste, and are healthier to live, wor, and go to school in than standard buildings. Builders of green buildings use techniques that use resources more efficiently during the entire building cycle—construction, restoration, operation, maintenance(维护)and demolition(拆毁)—than those who construct more regular buildings.The environmental benefits of building green include the protection of ecosystems(生态系统)and biodiversity, improved air and water quality, less waste flowing into streams, and the protection of natural resources. Green buildings can also result in lower operating costs because they typically use less energy and fewer materials and improve indoor air quality, improving the health of people who live in such buildings.The process of building green includes technical and artistic planning with nature protection in mind. Building designs often reflect the surrounding environment and natural resources and use renewable building materials such as bamboo and straw. In addition, recycled resources found locally are used for green buildings, reducing the cost and air pollution associated with transporting materials over long distances.Careful site selection is important to minimie(最小化)human impact on the surrounding environment. For eample, placing a structure in an area that allows it to tae advantage of cool breees(微风)and sunlight can reduce energy use and epenses. More energy and epense are needed for larger buildings as well, so it is important to build small.Green roofs are another feature of green houses that reduce energy use and cost. These roofs are partly or completely covered with plants, which helps to eep heating and cooling costs, prevent water running off and deal with pollutants.Other features of green buildings often include energy and water conservation, recycling, and waste reduction. In addition, renewable energy sources such as solar power, hydropower(水能)and wind power are used for heat and electricity, which greatly reduces costs and decreases the impact on the environment.28. What is the tet mainly about?A. The necessity of promoting energy efficiency.B. The process of building green buildings.C. The benefits and features of green buildings.D. Green buildings effects on the environment.29. According to the tet, green buildings refer to the buildings that______.A. produce no wasteB. only use clean energyC. are made of recycled materialsD. use energy and resources more efficiently30. Which of the following statements is TRUE about green buildings?A. They rely on fossil fuels and solar power for heat and electricity.B. Small buildings are less efficient in energy use than larger ones.C. The ecosystem has to be considered when building a green building.D. They are difficult to maintain and thus need more operating costs.31. Why are green roofs used?A. They fit the surrounding environment well.B. They are cheaper than other inds of roofs.C. They can eep natural water for use in everyday life.D. They can help to control the temperature in the building well.D(河南省豫西南示范性高中2018届高三联考)Driverless technology will soon enter another major global industry shipping. Several companies recently announced plans to launch self sailing ships to improve safety and efficiency.One of them is Norwegian chemical company Yara International. Yara has teamed up with another Norwegian company, ongsberg, to build an autonomous goods ship epected to launch net year. ongsberg developed the ship’s electrical technology and autonomous control systems. The ship is fully electric to reduce air pollution. It is designed to carry goods containers normally transported by truc. This means the ship will also improve road safety by replacing about 40,000 truc trips a year. The company plans to operate the ships by far-away control beginning sometime net year. By 2020, the ships should be loading and sailing themselves. While Yara’s ships will be limited to Norway at first, the company plans to greatly epand its autonomous shipping operations in the coming years.Another company putting a high priority (优先) to self sailing ships is the world’s largest mining company, Australia’s BHP Billiton. The company’s Vice President of Freight, Rashpal Bhatti, recently spoe about the technology in a website post. Bhatti believes automation will be one of the biggest changes for shipping in the future. He said, “Autonomous ships offer significant opportunities to improve safety and provide better effectiveness results to the supply chain of the sea.” He added that self-sailing ships couldbecome a reality within the net decade.Rolls-Royce, the British automobile and engine manufacturer, is also developing unmanned shipping technologies. Osar Levander is the company’s head of operations at sea. He told a conference last year, “This is happening. It’s not if,it’s when.”Levander said these autonomous ships could be controlled by far-away operators from anywhere. He added, “Because these ships will be designed to be unmanned, they can be built smaller, more efficient and environmentally friendly.”32. Why have several countries announced plans to produce self-sailing ships?A. To save money.B. To develop electrical technology in ships.C. To compete in autonomous control systems.D. To mae shipping more effective and less risy.33. How will the Norwegian autonomous ship be developed?A. On the basis of Rolls-Royce.B. By a single company independently.C. By two native companies woring together.D. By taing electrical technology from Australia.34. What do Osar Levander’s words suggest in paragraph 4?A. It is too early to mae autonomous ships.B. The supply chain of the sea will be busier.C. People are more concerned about autonomous ships.D. Unmanned shipping technologies are becoming more mature.35. What would be the best title for the tet?A. Automation under SailB. Self-sailing Ships in UseC. Automation in Some FieldsD.
