In the early afternoon, when he was planning to go home, a fierce snowstormswept into the area. Unable to see far, he accidentally turned off the path. Before he knew it, Nicholas was lost, all alone! He didn’t have food, water, a phone, or other supplies. He was getting colder by the minute.Nicholas had no idea where he was. He tried not to panic. He thought about all the survival shows he had watched on TV. It was time to put the tips he had learned to use.He decided to stop skiing. There was a better chance of someone finding him if he stayed put. The first thing he did was to find shelter form the freezing wind and snow. If he didn’t, his body temperature would get very low, which could quickly kill him.Using his s kis, Nicholas built a snow cave. He gathered a huge mass of snow and dug out a hole in the middle. Then he piled branches on top of himself, like a blanket, to stay as warm as he could.By that evening, Nicholas was really hungry. He ate snow and drank water froma nearby stream so that his body wouldn’t lose too much water. Not knowing how much longer he could last, Nicholas did the only thing he could- he huddled(蜷缩) in his cave and slept.The next day, Nicholas went out to look for help, but he couldn’t find anyone. He followed his tracks and returned to the snow cave, because without shelter,he could die that night. On Tuesday, Nicholas went out to find help. He had walked for about a mile when a volunteer searcher found him. After two daysstuck in the snow, Nicholas was saved.Nicholas might not have survived this snowstorm had it not been for TV. He hadoften watched Grylls’ survival show. Man vs. Wild. That’s where he learned the tips that saved his life, In each episode(一期节目)of Man vs. Wild, Grylls is abandoned in a wild area and has to find his way out.When Grylls heard about Nicholas’ amazing deeds, he was super impressed that Nicholas had made it since he knew better than anyone how hard Nicholas had to work to stay alive.5. What happened to Nicholas one Sunday afternoon?A. He got lost.B. He broke his skis.C. He hurt his eyesD. He caught a cold6. How did Nicholas keep himself warm?A. He found a shelter.B. He lighted some branches.C. He kept on skiing.D. He built a snow cave.7. On Tuesday, Nicholas _____.A. returned to his shelter safelyB. was saved by a searcherC. got stuck in the snowD. stayed where he was8. Nicholas left Grylls a very deep impression because he _____.A. did the right things in the dangerous situationB. watched Grylls’ TV program regularlyC. created some tips for survivalD. was very hard-workingCBy the end of the century, if not sooner, the world’s oceans will be bluer and greener thanks to a warming climate, according to a new study.At the heart of the phenomenon lie tiny marine microorganisms(海洋微生物) called p hytoplankton. Because of the way light reflects off the organisms, these phytoplankton create colourful patterns at the ocean surface. Ocean colourvaries from green to blue, depending on the type and concentration of phytoplankton. Climate change will fuel the growth of phytoplankton in some areas, while reducing it in other spots, leading to changes in the ocean’s appearance.Phytoplankton live at the ocean surface, where they pull carbon dioxide(二氧化碳) into the ocean while giving off oxygen. When these organisms die, they bury carbon in the deep ocean, an important process that helps to regulate the global climate. But phytoplankton are vulnerable to the ocean’s warming trend.Warming changes key characteristics of the ocean and can affect phytoplankton growth, since they need not only sunlight and carbon dioxide to grow, but also nutrients.Stephanie Dutkiewicz, a scientist in MIT’s Center for Global Change Science, built a climate model that projects changes to the oceans throughout the century. In a world that warms up by 3℃, it found that multiple changes to the colour of the oceans would occur. The model projects that currently blue areas with little phytoplankton could become even bluer. But in some waters, such as those of the Arctic, a warming will make conditions riper for phytoplankton, and these areas will turn greener. “Not only are the quantities of phytoplankton in the ocean changing. ” she said, “but the type of phytoplankton is changing.”And why does that matter? Phytoplankton are the base of the food web. If certain kinds begin to disappear from the ocean, Dutkiewicz said, “it will change the type of fish that will be able to survive.” Those kinds of changes could affect the food chain.Whatever colour changes the ocean experiences in the coming decades will probably be too gradual and unnoticeable, but they could mean significant changes. “It’ll be a while before we can statistically show that the changes are happening because of climate change,” Dutkiewicz said, “but the change in the colour of the ocean will be one of the early warning signals that we really have changed our planet.”9. What are the first two paragraphs mainly about?A. The various patterns at the ocean surface.B. The cause of the changes in ocean colour.C. The way light reflects off marine organisms.D. The efforts to fuel the growth of phytoplankton.10. What does the underlined word “vulnerable” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?A. Sensitive.B. Beneficial.C. Significant.D. Unnoticeable.11. What can we learn from the passage?A. Phytoplankton play a declining role in the marine ecosystem.B. Dutkiewicz’s model aims to project phytoplankton changes.C. Phytoplankton have been used to control global climate.D. Oceans with more phytoplankton may appear greener.12. What is the main purpose of the passage?A. To assess the consequences of ocean colour changes.B. To analyse the composition of the ocean food chain.C. To explain the effects of climate change on oceans.D. To introduce a new method to study phytoplankton.D"I do hope that by writing about their stories, I’m helping things change for the better. ”Li Xueqing, a China Daily journalist, based in New York CityThey’re neither medical workers in close contact with the novel coronavirus nor government officials who receive the latest updates of the situation – yet they’re keeping us informed of the development of the epidemic. They are the media, and their eyes are far-seeing.Zhu Xingxin is one such member of the media: a photographer with China Daily. He visited Tongji Hospital affiliated with Tongji Medical College of Huazhong University of Science and Technology in Wuhan on Feb 3 to report on the lives of medical workers.Before entering the isolation ward (隔离病房), Zhu had to put on protective gear (装备) like the doctors: a protective suit, a surgical mask, goggles (护目镜), disposable (一次性的) gloves and shoe covers. He described it as “stuffy (闷热的)” with all the layers on. “I felt anoxic (缺氧的) under the masks,” he wrote on China Daily. “So I lowered my voice and slowed down my motions, trying to make myself feel better.”The eyes of the media are not just here to see, but also to scrutinize.On Feb 9, for example, a bus in Wuhan carrying severely ill patients was caught in traffic with no one guiding them and no hospitals claiming them. The incident was witnessed by Global Times journalists and was soon reported online. It ended with all the patients being properly settled i n hospitals and officials in charge being held responsible. But it’s possible that without journalists this incident would never have been exposed.Li Xueqing, a China Daily journalist, based in New York City, is also aware of the media’s role as a watchdog (监督者). She wrote a story last month about a group of Wuhan University alumni (校友) in New York City who donated medical equipment to hospitals in Wuhan. She was impressed by how they managed tocollect such a large amount of supplies and build an international shipping pathway in such a short time. Yet she was also disturbed by how all the complex (繁复的) paperwork and bureaucratic (官僚主义的) procedures added to their already heavy workload.“I do hope that by writing about their stories, I’m helping things change for the better,” said Li.Indeed, the media is like a pair of eyes watching out for us as they report on the world’s most important news.（选自Reuters）13. By describing Zhu Xingxin’s experience in Wuhan, the author intends to show _______.A. what journalists should pay attention to while workingB. how medical workers fight against the virusC. the efforts journalists make to report on the frontlineD. the importance of the media in fighting the epidemic14. What happened after Global Times journalists reported what they had witnessed on Feb 9?A. All the patients received proper treatment.B. The officials apologized for what had happened.C. The journalists were warned by the officials.D. The patients received donations from overseas.15. How does Li Xueqing hope to improve the alumni’s donation process?A. Making shipping methods more convenient.B. Simplifying paperwork and procedures.C. Creating more professional quality tests.D. Reducing the heavy workloads of medical workers fighting the virus.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。

He spent much of his childhood (21)_______ (play) on the beach or fishing in the streams nearby. In 1849 he began a three-year apprenticeship to become an accountant. Although he never liked the prospect of a business career, he stayed with it (22)_______ (please) his family.Learning photography in Montreal around the year 1857, Henderson quickly took (23) _______ up as a serious amateur. Later, he became a personal friend and colleague of the Scottish Canadian photographer William Notman. (24)_______ their friendship, their styles of photography were quite different. While Notman's landscapes (25) _______ (note) for their bold realism, Henderson for the first 20 years of his career produced romantic images (26)_______ _______ _______ he published his first major collection of landscape photographs in 1865, he gained great fame for reflecting the romantic British landscape tradition in his works. The publication had limited circulation (only seven copies have ever been found), where the contents of each copy (27)_______(vary) significantly and proved a useful source for evaluating Henderson's early work.In 1866, he gave up his business to open a photographic studio, (28) _______ (advertise) himself as portrait and landscape photographer. From about 1870 he dropped portraiture to specialize in landscape photography and other views. His numerous photographs of city life (29)_______ (reveal) in street scenes, houses, and markets are alive with human activity.

Note that there is one word more than you need.Mars -- the next frontierIt sounds like something from the fields of science fiction--a space expedition into the vast 31_______ of space, heading towards the Red Planet. While we're not quite ready to put a person on land, the question we ask today is: why are so many countries interested in going to Mars?The space race saw the USA and USSR 32_______ to achieve firsts in spaceflight. The Soviet Union released Sputnik 1, an artificial satellite, before anyone else, and the US landed on the Moon first. Now it appears that Mars is the celestial body of desire. While the honour of being the first nation to touchdown is an obvious 33_______ , there are other reasons we want to get there.One of these could be the 34_______ of our species You only have to look at the fossilised remains of the dinosaurs to see the benefit of finding another 35_______ planet. While Mars doesn't have the right conditions to call it home just yet, there's always the idea of terraforming-- changing the environment of a planet to 36_______ our needs to live.However, not everyone agrees. Leading astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson has said the 37_______of altering habitability of another planet because of the damage we have done to Earth is not 38_______ when we can simply terraform Earth.It seems he main reason at the moment is the search for signs of life. It has long been believed that, at one time, Mars was abundant with life. Now seemingly dead, the 39_______ fossils could answer questions about our own evolution and that of our planet. One theory is that bacterial life on our planet didn't start here, but was transferred via asteroid (小行星) from Mars.One benefit 40_______ by scientists like Neil deGrasse Tyson is that landing on Mars may inspire more people to become interested in science and astronomy. Surely6/ 22inspiring a new generation to visit the stars is reason enough.III. Reading ComprehensionSection ADirections: For each blank in the following passages there are four words or phrases marked A, B C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.Moral sentiments countOrganizations and societies rely on fines and rewards to control people's self-interest in the service of the common good. The 41_______ of a ticket keeps drivers in line, and the promise of a bonus inspires high performance. But incentives (激励) can also 42_______, minifying the very behavior they're meant to encourage.A generation ago, Richard Titmuss claimed that paying people to donate blood43 _______ the supply. Economists were skeptical, citing a lack of scientific evidence. But since then, new data and models have prompted a sea change in how economists think about incentives--showing, among other things, that Titmuss was right in so many cases that businesses should 44_______.Experimental economists have found that offering to pay women for donating blood decreases the number willing to donate by almost half, and that letting them contribute the payment to charity 45_______ the effect. Dozens of recent experiments show that rewarding self-interest with economic incentives can have the opposite result when they destroy what Adam Smith called "the moral sentiments(情绪)”. The psychology here has escaped blackboard economists, but it will be no surprise to people in business: When we take a job or buy a car, we are not only trying to get stuff-- we are also trying to be a certain kind of person. 46_______ , people desire to be respected by others as ethical and 47_______. And they don't want to be taken for losers. Rewarding blood donations may not serve the intended purpose because it suggests that the donor is less interested in being 48_______ than in making a dollar. Incentives also run into trouble when they signal that the employer 49_______ the employee or is greedy. Close supervision of workers coupled with 50_______ for performance is textbook economics, but it can lead to the depression of employees.7/ 22Perhaps most important, incentives affect what our actions signal, whether we're being self-interested or civic-minded, manipulated or trusted and they can imply--sometimes wrongly--what 51_______ us. Fines or public criticism that appeal to our moral sentiments by signaling social disapproval (think of littering) can be highly effective. But incentives go wrong when they 52_______ or diminish our ethical sensibilities.This does not mean it's 53_______ to appeal to self-interested and ethical motivations at the same time--just that efforts to do so often fail. 54_______ , policies support socially valued ends not only by controlling self-interest but also by encouraging public-spiritedness. The small tax on plastic grocery bags passed by law in Ireland in 2002 that resulted in their virtual elimination appears to have had such an effect. It punished offenders 55_______ while conveying a moral message. Carrying a plastic bag joined wearing a fur coat in the gallery of anti-social anachronisms.41. A.temptation B.threat C.value D.equivalent42. A. overflow B.backfire C. survive D. work43. A.reduced B. affected C. afforded D.balanced44. A. cut back B. stand by C. take note D. hold on45. A.cause B. reverse C. take D. detect46. A. In other words B. On the contrary C. By contrast D. In addition47 A. satisfied B.determined C. dignified D.discouraged48. A. unselfish B. ambitious C. thoughtful D. aggressive49. A. boasts B. values C. encourages D. mistrusts50. A. requirement B. criticism C. implication D. reward51.

Surprisingly D.Ideally8/ 2255. A. publicly B.severely C. monetarily D. mildlySection BDirections: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)Wonder materialMaurice Ward and his family ran ladies' hairdresser’s in Yorkshire, England. Ward was an inventor by nature and liked to mix his own hair dyes and products, claiming that they were more effective than the products supplied by cosmetics manufacturers like L'Oreal and Garnier. In the 1980s his inventiveness found a new outlet when he bought an industrial extruder--a machine that forms plastics-and began experimenting with making different types of sheet plastic. Then in 1985 something happened which was to change his life.A British Airtours plane bound for Corfu caught fire at Manchester Airport just before it took off. Although the plane was still on the ground, the results of the fire were destructive within forty seconds, 55 of the people inside died from smoke and poisonous air breathed in. Ward determined that he would make a material that would be much more fire-resistant than the plastics from which the interior was largely constructed. He began trying out different mixtures in a kitchen food blender. When he found a formulation that looked promising, he would shape it into sheet form and then test its fire resistance. The results got better and better until finally he hit on a material that would resist temperatures of 2, 500 C, not give off poisonous air and still remain cool enough to be touched. Starlite was bornYet here we are, thirty years on, and Starlite is still an unpatented and unexploited material. So what went wrong?Naturally, Ward kept the formula a secret. He never wrote it down, only telling the exact proportions of its 21 ingredients to a few of his closest family members. He refused to apply for a patent, since that would involve revealing its composition. No9/ 22one else was allowed to analyse it nor was any company given a sample for fear that they might reverse-engineer it.Consequently, no deal was ever struck and in May 2011 Maurice Ward died. It would be incorrect to say that he took his secret to the grave because some of the family still know it, but he certainly took his own dreams of personal wealth and fame with him. Why? Was it greed? Was it that, as an amateur, he felt a lack of respect from the scientific community? Or was he simply too protective of his idea to share it with others? We may never know. What is certain is that his loss is the world’s loss, too.56. What can we most probably infer about Maurice Ward according to the passage?A. He preferred fame to money.B.He was born with a creative spirit.C. He opposed established institutions.D. He got his genius partly from his parents.57. How did Ward develop Starlite?A. He converted it in the kitchen food blender.B. He found the material from the interior of planes.C. He got inspiration from the hair dyes and products.D. He experimented with materials and examined their fire-resistance.58. Which of the following statements about Starlite is TRUE?A. Its secret died with Maurice Ward.B. It gets warmer than plastics when heated.C. It could have brought Maurice great wealth.D. Some company reverse-engineered it without permission.59. We can learn from the passage that _______ .A. Innovation requires lots of efforts and deserves protection10/ 22B. The protectiveness of an invention may cause the world great losses.C. The big companies' ill intentions are to blame for the loss of Starlite.D. The neglect of talented people may cost the world valuable discoveries.(B)Things you need to know about your STRESS right nowAfter 60 years of research, scientists have determined what provokes stress. There's even a handy acronym: NUTS.N is for Novelty: This is something new you've not experienced before, like the first day of school or a new job.U is for Unpredictability: When you don't know how something is going to take shape, as is the case during a trip to the dentist.T is for Threat to the Ego: When your competence is threatened, such as in front of colleagues. We're very sensitive to this.S is for Sense of Control: When you feel you have little or no control over the situation, like being stuck in traffic.It's helpful to identify your sources of stress, because a problem well-defined is a problem almost solved. The opposite of stress is not relaxation---it's resilience. If you tell your brain that you can deal with this, it will stop producing the stress hormone and you will calm down11/ 22Get on your bike!As various bits of research have shown, cycling will lower your stress levels, whether you're doing a quick errand or committing to a lifetime on two wheels.15 MINUTES LATERA 2013 study out of Japan showed a marked drop in people's stress levels after they pedalled for just 15 minutes on a stationary bike.AN HOUR LATERResearchers found in 2015 that, compared to their cycling colleagues, those who drove or took the subway breathed more shallowly an hour later---a sure sign of stress.18 YEARS LATERAfter following 17,985 adult commuters for 18 years, U.K. researchers discovered in 2014 that those who walked or biked reported being happier, more confident and better able to face their problems.①____________In a 2015 study, researchers subjected 66 teen girls to a stress test. Some of them held their mothers' hands during the test; others had to go it alone. The girls who hadcontact with their moms were able to manage stress more effectively. It's what psychologists refer to as emotional load sharing.②____________In a 2007 UCLA study, some patients hospitalized for heart failure spent 12 minutes with a therapy dog, while another group interacted with a volunteer. The dogcrowd experienced greater decreases in their anxiety level compared to those patients whose visitors could actually talk back.60. __________---may suffer the most stress relatively.A. Luna, 19--she has well prepared for her first internship with the help of her mother12/ 22B. Tom, 29-his first day of work starts at 9: 00 am, but he's in a traffic jam at 8: 50 amC. Karol, 39-she finally had her decayed tooth pulled out last Thursday at the dentist'sD. Jenny, 49-her colleagues are planning to give her a farewell party and she's in the dark61. Which chart can best illustrate the effect of cycling ?A BC D62. Which of the following may best suit the numbered blanks?A. ①Raise your hand! ②Find a volunteer companion!B. ①Raise your hand! ②Get a furry companion!C.①Hug your family! ②Get furry companion!D. ①Hug your family! ②Find a volunteer companion!13/ 22(C)Bretton Woods revisitedOn July 22, 1944, as allied troops were racing across Normandy to liberate Paris, representatives of 44 nations meeting at the Mount Washington resort in Bretton Woods, New Hampshire, created a financial and monetary system for the postwar era, referred to as Bretton Woods system.John Maynard Keynes, leader of the British delegation, was playing a tricky dual role. He had proposed a new monetary system to free the world from the Great Depression. He hoped that the new monetary system, would be the international pillar for the series of domestic measures that came to be known as Keynesian---the use of public spending to cure depression and the regulation of financial markets to prevent downturns caused by failed private financial investments. Keynes was also hoping to restore Britain's prewar position as a leading industrial and financial power. His two roles overlapped, but far from perfectly The Americans shared the British desire to restore world growth, but not to preserve Britain's empire.Keynes wrote to his colleague after the conference that in the new International Monetary Fund, "we have in truth got both in substance and in phrasing all that we could reasonably hope for. "The new World Bank, Keynes declared, offered "grand possibilities. .. The Americans are virtually committing themselves to quite huge untied loans for reconstruction and development.Yet in many respects, Bretton Woods was failure for Keynes and the British. America today is often described as the only surviving superpower, but in 1944 U.S. supremacy was towering. Germany and Japan were on the edge of ruin. Britain had gone massively into debt. The Russians had lost tens of millions of soldiers and civilians. America was unharmed, its casualties were modest by comparison, it held most of the world's financial reserves, and its industrial plant was mightier than ever.Though Keynes inspired Bretton Woods, the Americans won the day. In most matters, a rival design by Keynes's American counterpart, Harry Dexter White, prevailed. White, a left-wing New Dealer serving as No. 2 man at the Department of Treasury, shared Keynes's basic views on money. But the White plan provided a far more modest fund and bank. Instead of the generous extension of wartime lend-lease14/ 22aid that Keynes was promoting, the British had to settle for an American loan, to be repaid with interestThe Bretton Woods system was welcomed as a vast improvement over both the rigid gold standard of pre-1914 and the monetary disorder of the interwar period. For a quarter-century, Bretton Woods enhanced a rare period of steady growth, full employment, and financial stability. But in many respects, the boastful role of the World Bank, the International Monetary Fund, and the Bretton Woods rules specifying fixed exchange rates was a convenient illusion. The system's true pillar was the United States the U.S. dollar as global currency; the U.S. economy as the consumer market for other nations' exports; and U.S. recovery aid in the form of the Marshall Plan, which dwarfed the function of the World Bank.In the early 1970s, the Bretton Woods system came crashing down when domestic inflation forced the United States to devalue its own currency and cease playing the dominant role. Monetary instability and slower growth followed.63. What can we infer from the underlined sentence in paragraph 3?A. Keynes was satisfied with the outcome of the conference.B. Keynes further explained the idea of monetary reform he presented.C. Keynes emphasized the importance of having a new World Bank.D. Keynes pointed out the important role America played in postwar era.64. According to the passage, Keynes and White had different views on_____.A. the roles of US and Britain in postwar eraB. the basic principles related to loansC. the timing and target of giving fundD. the interest rate British banks should offer65. According to the passage, which of the following statement is TRUE?A. The Bretton Woods system improved the rigid gold standard of the interwar periodB. International Monetary Fund dominated the world market in many fields.15/ 22C. The Bretton Woods system largely depended on the US economic success.D. Many countries received financial aid from the World Bank66. The passage is mainly about _____.A. the role of economy in the postwar eraB. two types of postwar diplomacy and their resultsC. an individual's contribution to the postwar worldD. the development of a financial system and its impact(D)The myth of short-term memoryShort-term memory contains the contents of your thoughts right now, including what you intend to do in the next few seconds 67________ You may think about what you'll say next in a conversation or walk to the hall closet with the intention of getting a pair of gloves.Short-term memory is easily disturbed or disrupted. 68________ You do this by thinking about them, perhaps repeating them over and over again ("I'm going to the closet to get gloves") But any distraction a new thought, someone asking you a16/ 22question, the telephone ringing---can disrupt short-term memory. Our ability to automatically restore the contents of the short-term lightly with every decade after 30.69________ I've been teaching undergraduates for my entire career and can attest that even 20-year-olds make short-term memory errors--loads of them. They walk into the wrong classrooms; they show up to exams without the requisite No. 2 pencil they forget something I just said 2 minutes before. These are similar to the kinds of things 70-year-olds do.The relevant difference is not age but rather how we describe these events, the stories we tell ourselves about them. Twenty-year-olds don't think, "Oh dear, this must be early-onset brain damage.” They think, “ I really need to get more than four hours of sleep."The 70-year-old observes these same events and worries about her brain health. This is not to say that brain damage related memory impairments are fiction.70________ In the absence of brain disease, even the oldest older adults show little or no cognitive memory decline beyond the age 85 and 90.Section CDirections: Fill in each blank with a proper word chosen from the box. Each word can be used only once. Note that there is one word more than you need.71.Under the pressing circumstances, we felt _____ to deepen the reform and open wider to the outside world.72.

Domestic interest rates are often______ as a major factor affecting exchange rates.75. As the new master of the trading empire, with interests that ______ from chemicals to sugar, she is burdened with the rise of the family business.76. All the criticism of her acting didn’t stop her pursuit of art, instead it merely strengthened her ______ to establish herself in West End threatre productions.77.

Eager to sample this “young people’s first sip of Moutai”, she was curious about how her beloved coffee tastes with Chinese liquor in it. “The aroma of the alcohol is very strong and is well blended with the milk,” Lin shared.The coffee drink, packaged with an iconic Moutai-themed label and containing less than 0.5 percent (alcohol by volume) of 53 degrees Moutai, is priced at 38 yuan, although consumers can get it for 19 yuan using coupons. In recent years, Moutai has embarked on various creative campaigns to appeal to younger customers, introducing products like Moutai ice cream, scented sachets, and canvas bags. “This creative partnership lets Moutai make its brand younger,” Li Honghui, a marketing director for drinks. Li also pointed out that such creative collaborations (合作) can bring benefits to both brands. “Through partnerships, brands can share resources, expand the market, and bring more diversified and innovative products to consumers,” Li said.However, flawed partnerships may lead to negative consequences. Take the collaboration between Chinese coffee chain Manner and French luxury brand Louis Vuitton(LV), for example.Consumers could get a free LV canvas bag by buying at least two books in the coffee shop. The two books would cost at least 580 yuan. The campaign was sharply criticized forthe high barrier of entry to receive the gift and many people doubted whether it was worth the price. “It’s important to maintain the high quality of the products in these partnerships rather than merely generate hype(炒作),” Li said.4．What did Lin Wanqi think of the new Moutai-flavored latte?A．Bitter.B．Smooth.C．Creamy.D．Aromatic. 5．Why is Moutai in association with Luckin Coffee?A．To get coupons.B．To attract other consumers.C．To share resources D．To maintain the high quality.6．What does Li Honghui say about the partnership between Kweichow Moutai and Luckin Coffee?A．It is a win-win.B．It is creative-yet-risky.C．It still needs more promotion.D．It sets a good example for the market. 7．Which is the shortcoming of Manner Coffee and Louis Vuitton partnerships ?A．The gifts were of low quality.B．They come from different countries.C．The promotional method was improper.D．Their employees sold the gifts privately.Last Friday, a special thing took place at the National Theater of Korea. A robot called EveR 6 led an orchestra (管弦乐队) in a performance of Korean music. Robots have led orchestras in other countries, but this was the first time ever in Korea.EveR 6 is a robot built by the Korea Institute of Industrial Technology (KITECH). It’s about as tall as a person, and has a human-like face that can show feelings. EveR 6 has joints (关节) in its neck, shoulders, etc. As a result, it can move its arms quickly in many different directions.But EveR 6 doesn’t think on its own like some Artificial Intelligence programs. Instead, it has a limited group of movements that it has been trained to perform. To make these movements as natural as possible, EveR 6’s movements are learnt from real human conductors.When EveR 6 moved its baton (指挥棒) for the first time, a piece of music rang out. Every movement of the robot’s arms brought more instruments into the mix, and the orchestra’s music grew louder and more exciting. Mr White, a human conductor, wasimpressed with the way EveR 6 moved. “The robot was able to present such difficult moves much better than I had imagined,” he said.But the robot still is not nearly ready to supersede a human conductor. Mr White says the robot’s greatest weakness is that it can’t hear, “Some people think that conducting is just about hand waving and keeping the beat,” says Mr White. But a good conductor needs to listen to the orchestra, so that he or she can correct and encourage the orchestra as it plays.Mr White doesn’t think robots are likely to replace human conductors. But he believes robots could be helpful in situations like practice parts where the same thing needs to be done many times.8．What is paragraph 2 mainly about?A．The effect of EveR 6.B．The advantage of EveR 6.C．The importance of EveR 6.D．The basic information of EveR 6.9．What does the underlined word “supersede” in paragraph 5 mean?A．Look forward to.B．Take the place of.C．Show interest in.D．Make an impression on.10．Which of the following may Mr White agree with?A．Robots could work in some fields of conductors’ work.B．Robots are useless in practice parts of a conductor.C．Robots’ role as a conductor will be overlooked.D．Robots leave human no chance to be a conductor.11．In which section of a newspaper may this text appear?A．Health.B．Sports.C．Science.D．Education.Most environmental pollution on Earth comes from humans and their inventions, such as cars or plastic. Today, car emissions(排放物) area major source of air pollution leading to climate change, and plastics fill our ocean, creating a significant health issue to marine(海洋的) animals.And what about the electric light, thought to be one of the greatest human inventions of all time? Electric light can be a beautiful thing, guiding us home when the sun goes down，keeping us safe and making our homes bright. However, like carbon dioxide emissions andplastic, too much of a good thing has started to impact the environment. Light pollution, the inappropriate use of outdoor light, is affecting human health, wildlife behavior and our ability to observe stars.Light pollution is a global issue. This became obvious when the World Atlas of Artificial Night Sky Brightness, a computer-generated map based on thousands of satellite photos, was published in 2016. Available online for viewing, the map shows how and where our globe is lit up at night. Vast areas of North America, Europe, the Middle East and Asia are glowing(发光) with light, while only the most remote regions on Earth(Greenland, Central African Republic and Niue) are in total darkness. Some of the most light-polluted countries in the world are Singapore, Qatar, and Kuwait.Sky glow is the brightening of the night sky, mostly over cities, due to the electric lights of cars, street lamps, offices, factories, outdoor advertising, and buildings, turning night into day for people who work and play long after sunset.People living in cities with high levels of sky glow have a hard time seeing more than a handful of stars at night. Astronomers are particularly concerned with sky glow pollution as it reduces their ability to view stars.More than 80 percent of the world’s population, and 99 percent of Americans and Europeans, live under sky glow.12．What can we learn from paragraph 2?A．The use of outdoor light must be forbidden.B．Electric light has both advantages and disadvantages.C．Electric light is the main factor to keep us safe.D．Electric light is the greatest human invention.13．Which of the following places is least affected by sky glow?A．Qatar.B．Singapore.C．Kuwait.D．Niue. 14．Why do astronomers especially complain about sky glow?A．Sky glow costs too much.B．Sky glow has a bad effect on their sleep.C．Sky glow affects their viewing stars.D．Sky glow wastes too much electricity.15．What is the best title for the text?A．Light pollution B．Plastic pollutionC．Different kinds of pollution D．Air pollutionProblems between parents and children are common and timeless. If you are looking to improve your relationship with your parents, you are not alone. There are a number of steps that can be taken to make that happen.16This is not to say that you should not care for and love your parents. But, if you are less emotionally attached to your parents, you may be less invested in arguments or disagreements with them. This way you can walk away from a situation more easily and not let it damage the relationship.Take their perspective.17 So once you can understand their position and see the reasons behind it, you will likely be more willing to take their perspective and improve the relationship. Accept that your parents are different. Think about the ways that their lives may have been different from your life, and how these different histories may be contributing to issues in the relationship.Develop your own identity.It is OK and even healthy for you to think for yourself and to have your own opinion on matters. 18 Moreover, in gaining a new sense of independence and separation from your parents, you may find that your relationship improves organically.Don’t ask for their advice unless you really want it.Sometimes problems arise between parents and children, particularly at the teenage years and beyond, because parents try to give advice in an overpowering way that makes the kids feeling uncomfortable. 19 However, if you are just feeling lazy to think about things on your own, you can also ask your parents.Establish boundaries and make rules.If you want to maintain a positive relationship with parents, but find that you always end up disagreeing, consider setting up some topics as off-limits. This may work better if you are older or no longer live with your parents. 20A．In this way, you gain your own identity.B．Separate from your parents emotionally.C．Parents’ opinions on your issues are constructive.D．Construct strong emotional attachment with your parents.E．Also try creating rules that both you and your parents agree to abide by (遵守).F．Often, kids and parents do not get along because they fail to consider each other’s perspectives.G．To get around this, try only asking for their advice when you are sure that you really want their view.二、完形填空at that time ran a hotel.

AEnglish is changing faster than ever with the development of society. Do you long to keep up with the times? If so, here are some old-fashioned words you should remove from your vocabulary list.Whippersnapper As an alteration of the term "snippersnapper'', the word first appeared in the 17th century, expressing our ancestors' annoyance at ill-mannered children. In its more contemporary version, the word relates to a young person who is too confident and does not show enough respect to older.TapeAre you born in the 1980s? If so, you may still be using the term "tape" when speaking of recording music or TV shows. Today, though digital media has made data storage on magnetic an outdated thing, this old linguistic habit still exists. StewardessIn the earlier age of air travel, female crew members serving airline passengers were called stewardesses. It was the development of women's rights movement in the 1960s that the word fell out of use. "Stewardess" was replaced by a more gender-neutral term, "flight attendant”. DungareesWhat we know as "jeans" today were once called “dungarees" to refer to trousers made of denm （蓝粗棉布）.As traders began importing the cloth from Genoa in Italy, this kind of trousers got a new name ’jeans”. So don't be surprised if you catch your grandpa saying dungarees.1. Who can be described as a whippersnapper nowadays?A. A child who is bad-tempered.B. An elder who doesn't like children.C. An elder who has confidence and influence.D. A teenager who is overconfident and impolite.2. Which of the following has become out of date with digital technology?A. Whippersnapper.B. Tape.C. Stewardess.D. Dungarees.3. What is the author's purpose in writing the passage?A. To show readers how to stay young.B. To explain how to keep up with the times.C. To analyze the differences among modem words.D. To advise readers not to use some old-fashioned words.【答案】1. D 2. B 3. D 【解析】【分析】这是一篇应用文。

AThere are about 7,500 apple varieties in the world. While 2,500 of those varieties are being grown in the United States, the Gala, Fuji, and Honeycrisp varieties occupy American market. Instead of sticking to the familiar, here are other delicious apples to try this fall. These special fruits will be the apple of your eye.Cosmic CrispA cross between Honeycrisp and Enterprise, the Cosmic Crisp takes the best qualities of both of these apples and combines them into a delicious and juicy apple. It’s perfect eaten plain, but when used in an apple pie, it maintains its firmness, making it a great apple for baking.Swee TangoThe Swee Tango, as a cross between a Honeycrisp and a Zestar apple, takes on flavors of honey and a bit of orange. Usually in apple recipes, other materials are added to improve the apple flavor, but the Swee Tango stands strong on its own. So it’s the perfect apple for apple -centric dishes such as apple pie, and even baked apples.Ginger GoldWith a golden -green color, the Ginger Gold apple is pretty mild in flavor with a bit of ginger as mentioned in its name. This variety is fully grown a bit earlier than most other apples with their seasonbeginning as early as August. So, if you’re eager for fall, then the Ginger Gold is the perfect apple to start baking your favorite fall treats.RubyFrostGrown classically as one of American varieties, the RubyFrost allows apple lovers the chance to enjoythis sweet fruit through the winter months. Not only can the RubyFrost stand a bit of cold weather, they reach their finest flavor during the winter months, making it a great, late season apple. 1．What do Cosmic Crisp and Swee Tango have in common? A ．They are of the same flavor. B ．They have one same parent. C ．They remain firm after baking. D ．They are strongly flavored.2．How is Ginger Gold named? A ．By its colour and flavor. B ．By its harvest season. C ．By its usage for baking.D ．By its parents.3．Which one may be the best choice for New Year celebrations in America? A ．Cosmic Crisp.B ．RubyFrost.C ．Ginger Gold.D ．Swee Tango.BWhen Faith Wanjiku graduated from the Technical University of Kenya last year, she immediately enrolled (注册) at the Confucius Institute in Kenyatta University. She wanted to learn Chinese, as she believed that it would help her have a good job.She has just completed the Hanyu Shuiping Kaoshi (HSK) 3 exam. HSK is a test of Chinese language level for non -native speakers, organized by the Confucius Institute Headquarters.However, this level isn’t enough for Wanjiku, who plans to pass HSK 6. She wanted to increase her level of Chinese and improve her spoken Chinese. And Wanjiku isn’t alone. The number of people taking the HSK reached 6.8 million in 2018 and went up 4.6 percent from a year earlier, the Ministry of Education said on May 31.Chinese is becoming an increasingly popular choice of language to study around the world. Currently, middle school students in Russia can take Chinese as an elective language test in the country’s national college entrance exam, Sputnik News reported.In May, Zambia became the fourth country in Africa -after Kenya, Uganda and South Africa—to introduce Chinese language to its schools.And many English -speaking countries have shown an interest in allowing their students to learn Chinese. The US government announced the launch of “1 Million Strong” in 2015, a plan that aims to bring the total number of learners of Chinese to l million by 2020.Behind the growing popularity of Chinese language learning is the international community’s positive attitude toward Chinas future development, as well as the people’s longing to learn about Chinese civilization此卷只装订不密封班级 姓名 准考证号 考场号 座位号。

高二上学期第二次月考(英语)试题含答案
高二上学期第二次月考（英语）（考试总分：120 分）一、阅读理解（本题共计4小题，总分30分）1.（6分）Music is born to light my spirit.In no particular order, here are some songs on the Music app of my phone:On a Sunday Afternoon by Lighter Shade of Brown—A student of mine introduced this rap song to me all the way back in the early 1990s, when 1 was teaching Spanish at a local university. The story in the song takes place not too far from where I live in Los Angeles. It’s a good “driving” song, nothing complicated or “deep”.Say Something by A Great Big World—A more recent song about a couple losing contact with each other. The piano part is very little playing but beautiful.American Pie by Don McLean—Another song from my youth in the 80s, very popular with almost every American of my generation. It retells some of the key events of the middle 20th century, a song of happy memories of the past and wanting to return to those better times.The Weight by The Band—Another old song, originally made public in 1968, but one I didn’t hear until I was in high school more than 10 years later. I don’t understand the words to the song completely, but the feeling of the song is very comforting to me.Under the Bridge by Red Hot Chili Peppers—This Los Angeles group wrote a song that I used to listen to when I first moved to LA more than 25 years ago. I didn’t know anyone here when I first arrived. When I got bored, I used to drive up and down the major streets that cross the city from east to wes t, listening to this song about the “city of angel” being as “lonely as I am. (Don t worry! I have plenty of friends now.)1．Which song is introduced by one of the author’s student?A. The WeightB. Say SomethingC. American PieD. On a Sunday Afternoon2．When did the author probably hear the Weight by The Band?A.In 1968.B.in the 1980s.C.In 1970.D.in the 1990s. 3．When the author first moved to LA, the first song he heard was________.A.Under the BridgeB.American PieC.The WeightD.Say Something2.（8分）On a Saturday evening , I was waiting for my train and on the subway station's floor was a man just sitting there. I looked around and nobody stopped so I just went my way. After a few steps, I turned and asked him whether he needed help. He toldme his house was one station further and he would only need to take the train there. So I reached for his hand to help him stand up.He wanted to take the stairs but I feared that he would hurt himself since he seemed too weak to walk, so I asked him to take the elevator. Even though my mind was trying to turn the danger lights on, I put the thought that I should not go alone with a drunken man out of my mind and accompanied him on the elevator.We arrived on the platform with no incidents. The man's knees seemed to soften, so I asked him to rest on a bench. While sitting there, he thanked me, telling me that I saved him. No, I said, I really did nothing; he saved himself as he walked on his own feet.At the next station, we said our goodbyes. Before I knew it, he left 100 dollars and dashed out of the train. There was no way to give him back his money. I wanted to leave it on the seat, but a young woman who thought it belonged to me ran after me and gave me the note.My initial reaction to getting that money was of shame and I even felt offended. Then I thought he just wanted to thank me, the best way he knew how. Now, my question is —what act of kindness shall I do with these 100 dollars?4.Why was the man sitting on the subway station's floor?A .Because he wanted to go home.B .Because he was seriously ill.C .Because he was waiting for the train.D .Because he was drunk.5.Seeing the money left by the man, the author first felt ________.A .ashamedB .gratefulC .delightedD .frustrated6.How will the author possibly deal with the money?A .Give it back.B .Buy something favorable.C .Give it to people in need.D .Leave it on the seat.7.What can we infer from the passage?A .I helped the man the moment I saw him.B .I thought it unsafe to go alone with the drunken man at first.C .I accompanied the man to take the stairs.D .A young woman ran after me and gave me the note.3.（8分）When I was a very little child, I remember watching TV and seeing other children suffer in other parts of the world. I would talk to myself, “when I grow up, when I can become rich, I’ll save kids all over the world.”At the age of 17, I began my career here in America, and by 18, I started my first charity organization. I went on to team up with other organizations in the following years, and met, helped, and even lost some of the most beautiful souls, from six-year-old JasminaAnema who passed away in 2010 from leukemia (白白白)—her story inspired thousands to volunteer as donors, to 2012 when my grandmother lost her battle with cancer, which is the very reason and the driving force behind the Clara Lionel Foundation (CLF). We’re all human. And we all just want a chance: a chance at life, a chance in education, a chance at a future, really. And at CLF, our mission is to impact as many lives as possible, but it starts with just one.People make it seem too hard to do charity work. The truth is, you don’t have to be rich to help others. You don’t need to be famous. You don’t even have to be college-educated. But it starts with your neighbor, the person right next to you, the person sitting next to you in class, the kid down the block in your neighborhood. You just do whatever you can to help in any way that you can. And today, I want to challenge each of you to make a commitment to help one person, one organization, one situation that touches your heart. My grandmother always used to say, “If you’ve got a dollar, there’s plenty to share.”8．What did the author want to do at a young age?A．Watch TV.B．Grow up quickly.C．Become wealthy.D．Help other children.9．Which of the following directly caused the author to create and develop the CLF? A．A six-year-old kid’s request.B．Her grandmother’s death of cancer. C．Many volunteers’ inspiration for it.D．Other organizations’ encouragement. 10．What does the underlined word “one” in Paragraph 2 refer to?A．A chance. B．A life. C．A task. D．An organization.11．What does the author suggest people do in the last paragraph?A．Do little things to help those around them.B．Work very hard to get a college education.C．Challenge their friends to offer help.D．Do charity work when you are rich.4.（8分）As is known to us all,VAR technology has been used in U.S. sports for years. However, it was fully combined with the global game of soccer and made itsdebut(首次亮相) at the 2018 World Cup . VAR stands for video assistant referee. It isactually a team who work together to review certain decisions made by the main referee by watching video replays.The VAR team supported the referees from a centralized video room. The operators selected and provided the best angles from the relevant broadcast cameras plus two additional offside cameras. Throughout a match they are constantly checking for mistakes. They will communicate with the referees only for clear and obvious errors or serious missed incidents. The referee can delay the restart of play at any time to communicate with the VAR team. Once they decide an incident is reviewable, the referee would start an official review. Then they will make a decision based on the information received from the VAR team.The use of video technology is a hot topic among football watchers. Some fans believe that VAR causes too many interruptions, disrupting the flow of the game. But others just want a fair match and to see the correct call no matter what. They argue disruptions already take place as angry players crowd around a referee following a controversial decision. VAR can serve to remove such scenes and get the game moving again. With much money put into modern football, governing bodies are now under great pressure to see that the correct decisions are made on the pitch and VAR is a sure step in that.12.What is VAR?A.very angry refereeB. camerasC. video assistant refereeD. operators who can stop the game13. According to Paragraph 2, who can decide the play?A. Camera assistantB. The main refereeC. VAR teamD. The audience14. What is the author’s attitude towards VAR?A. unconcernedB. negativeC. positiveD. controversial15. What is the best title of the passage?A. The football matchB. VAR used in all sportsC. The main referee’s bless or disguiseD. VAR appearing at World Cup二、阅读七选五（本题共计1小题，总分10分）5.（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项。

Lancaster WeeklyD. Family Alliance Meal DeliveryBAbout five weeks ago, I noticed the skin of our pet lizard was growing dusty. It worried me. I reported the strange surface on the skin of the lizard to my husband and children the next morning. Seconds later, our lizard emerged from its tank with its old skin flowing behind it.I didn’t think about it much until a mornin g last week when I knocked my favorite teapot off the table. It burst into hundreds of pieces. As I swept up the mess, I wondered why we had been breaking so many things over the months.The destruction started three months ago. It was my husband’s birthda y. He had just lost his job. The uncertainty was starting to wear on us, so I wanted to dosomething special.“Let’s make a cake for Dad!” I cried.My kids screamed with joy. We baked, iced and sprinkled for most of the day. Candles on the cake! Balloons on the walls! Flowers on the table!Two hours before my husband came back home from another job interview, my daughter climbed up to grab a glass vase from a high shelf. It fell and crashed beside the cake. Tiny pieces of glass were everywhere. She sobbed loudly as I threw the cake away. My husband had banana pudding for his birthday.Three days ago, the light in our living room suddenly went out. After several frustrating hours of unsuccessful attempts to fix it, my husband suggested watching the Michael Jordan documentary series The Last Dance.The poignancy of Jordan retiring from his beloved basketball to playing baseball and what had pushed him to make such a tough decision took me by surprise. As I watched him take off his basketball uniform and replace it with a baseball uniform, I saw him leaving behind the layer that no longer served him, just as our lizard had. Neither of them chose the moment that had transformed them. But they had to live with who they were after everything was different. Just like us. I realized that we have to learn to leave the past behind.Humans do not shed skin as easily as other animals. The beginning of change is upsetting. The process is tiring. Damage changes us before we are ready. I see our lizard, raw and nearly new.Jordan said that no matter how it ends, it starts with hope. With our tender, hopeful skin, that is where we begin.4. What can we learn about the pet lizard from Paragraph 1?A. It got a skin disease.B. Its old skin came off.C. Its tank grew dirty.D. It went missing.5. Why does the author mention The Last Dance in the passage?A. To define a concept.B. To prove a theory.C. To develop the theme.D. To provide the background.6. The underlined part “leaving behind the layer” in Paragraph 8 can beunderstood as .A. letting go of the pastB. giving up an opportunityC. getting rid of a bad habitD. looking for a new job7. What does the author most likely want to tell us?A. Past experiences should be treasured.B. It’s not the end of the world if we break things.C. We should move on no matter what happens.D. Love of family helps us survive great hardships.CResearchers say they have translated the meaning of gestures that wild chimpanzees（黑猩猩）use to communicate. They say wild chimps communicate 19 specific messages to one another with a “vocabulary” of 66 gestures. The scientists discovered this by following and filming groups of chimps in Uganda, and examining more than 5,000 incidents of these meaningful exchanges.Dr Catherine Hobaiter, who led the research, said that this was the only form of intentional communication to be recorded in the animal kingdom. Only humans and chimps, she said, had a system of communication where they deliberately sent a message to another group member.“That’s what’s so amazing about chimp gestures,” she said. “They’re the only thing that looks like human language in that respect.”Although previous research has shown that apes and monkeys can understand complex information from another animal’s call, the animals do not appear to use their voices intentionally to communicate messages. This was a significant difference between calls and gestures, Dr Hobaiter said.Chimps will check to see if they have the attention of the animal with which they wish to communicate. In one case, a mother presents her foot to her crying baby, signal ling: “Climb on me.” The youngster immediately jumps on to its mother’s back and they travel off together. “The big message from this study is that there is another species（物种）out there that is meaningful in its communication, so that’s not unique to humans,” said Dr Hobaiter.Dr Susanne Shultz, an evolutionary biologist from the University of Manchester, said the study was praiseworthy in seeking to enrich our knowledge of the evolution of human language. But, she added, the results were “a little disappointing”.“The vagueness of the gesture meanings suggests either that the chimps have little to communicate, or we are still missing a lot of the information contained in their gestures and a ctions,” she said. “Moreover, the meanings seem to not go beyond what other animals convey with non-verbal communication. So, it seems the gulf remains.”8. What do chimps and humans have in common according to Dr Hobaiter?A. Using voices to communicate.B. Understanding complex information.C. Memorizing specific words.D. Communicating messages on purpose.9. What did Dr Shultz think of the study?A. It was inspiring but the evidence was unreliable.B. It was a good try but the findings were limited.C. It was well designed but poorly conducted.D. It was a failure but the methods deserved praise.10. W hat does the underlined word “gulf” in the last paragraph mean?A. Difference.B. Connection.C. Conflict.D. Balance.11. W hich of the following is the best title for the text?A. Chimpanzees developed specific communication skillsB. Chimpanzee behaviour study achieved a breakthroughC. Chimpanzees: the smartest species in the animal kingdomD. Chimpanzee language: communication gestures translatedDThere is something to be said for being a generalist, even if you are a specialist. Knowing a little about a lot of things that interest you can add to the richness of a whole, well-lived life.Society pushes us to specialize, to become experts. This requires commitment to a particular occupation, branch of study or research. The drawback to being specialists is we often come to know more and more about less and less. There is a great deal of pressure to master one’s field. You may pursue tra ining, degrees, or increasing levels of responsibility at work. Then you discover the pressure of having to keep up.Some people seem willing to work around the clock in their narrow specialty. But such commitment can also weaken a sense of freedom. These specialists could work at the office until ten each night, then look back and realize they would have loved to have gone home and enjoyed the sweetness of their family and friends, or traveled to exciting places, meeting interesting people. Mastering one thing to the exclusion（排除）of others can hold back your true spirit.Generalists, on the other hand, know a lot about a wide range of subjects and view the whole with all its connections. They are people of ability, talent, and enthusiasm who can bring their broad perspective（视角）into specific fields of expertise（专长）. The doctor who is also a poet and philosopher is a superior doctor, one who can give so much more to his patients than just good medical skills.Things are connected. Let your expertise in one field fuel your passions in all related areas. Some of your interests may not appear to be connected but, once you explore their depths, you discover that they are. My editor Toni, who is also a writer, has edited several history books. She has decided to study Chinese history. Fascinated by the structural beauty of the Forbidden City as a painter, she is equally interested to learn more about Chinese philosophy. “I don’t know where it will lead, but I’m excited I’m on this pursuit. ”These expansions into new worlds help us by giving us new perspectives. We begin to see the interconnectedness of one thing to another in all aspects of our life, of ourselves and the universe. Develop broad, general knowledge and experience. The universe is all yours to explore and enjoy.12. To become a specialist, one may have to_____.A. narrow his range of knowledgeB. broaden his perspective on lifeC. know more about the societyD. avoid responsibilities at work13. The specialists mentioned in Paragraph 3 tend to______.A. enjoy meeting funny peopleB. travel around the worldC. spend most time workingD. treasure their freedom14. A ccording to the author, a superior doctor is one who_____.A. should love poetry and philosophyB. is a pure specialist in medicineC. is fully aware of his talent and abilityD. brings knowledge of other fields to work15. What does the author intend to show with the example of Toni?A. Everyone has a chance to succeed in their pursuit.B. In-depth exploration makes discoveries possible.C. Pa ssion alone does not ensure a person’s success.D. Seemingly unrelated interests are in a way connected.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。

A clone is an exact copy of another animal or plant. Scientists have cloned a sheep which they have named Dolly. Researchers took genes from a ewe (母羊) and used them to create a copy (Dolly) of the ewe.Why are scientists doing this research? One reason is to get information about genes so they can improve our health. They also want to learn how better farm animals can be produced. Cloning is a controversial issue for people. Some people think it is good because this research can help us, but other people think cloning is unacceptable. Some people think it might be possible to save endangered animals by cloning them. Tigers, elephants, and other endangered animals might be saved in this way.In China, pandas are endangered because they are hunted and they are losing their habitat, so some Chinese scientists want to try to clone pandas to save them from extinction.I don’t really like the idea of cloning animals, but I don’t think I wantpanda to become extinct. If the best way to save them is to make cloned pandas, they must be cloned.I want to live with a lot of animals and nature. I don’t want animals todie out, especially pandas. I think humans must think more about protecting animals and nature. Maybe cloning is the way to save all endangered animals.24. What is Dolly like?A. It is exactly like the ewe researchers took genes from.B. It is a bit like the ewe.C.It is like other ordinary sheep we often see.D It is like a perfect sheep that researchers want to make.25. What is the technology scientists use to clone animals?A. They use the technology of animal improvement.B. They change the genes of a ewe and then get them improved.C. They take genes from an animal and use them to make a copy of it.D. They combine advantages of some animals to make a better one.26. By studying cloning, scientists can____.A. improve our health and produce fine animals.B. start a new industry where many more people may find jobs.C. find ways to feed the whole world.D. make copies of many famous people in the world.27.

If so, you would be considered an “early bird”. Perhaps, though, you hate the sound of your alarm clock each morning and have little energy until the afternoon. If that's the case, you're probably a “night owl”.Most of us fall into one of these two groups, but what makes us this way? And is one better than the other? There are different opinions.Traditionally, early risers have been praised as hard-working. On the other hand, those who prefer to sleep in and get up late are considered lazy. But even in the 21st century, most people still believe the early bird catches the worm.Yet some scientists now believe “night owls” can really focus longer and produce more than early risers.Research has found that the early bird does not always get the worm. In a Belgian study, both “morning people” and “evening people” were watched during their normal asleep and awake routines (常规). After 10 hours of being awake, the “evening people” became more alert. However, the “morning people” became sleepy and less focused. Researchers believe the reason for this difference is that night owls receive a last-minute increase of energy from their brains. This added energy allows them to stay alert for longer periods of time.Environment, lifestyle, activities and childhood routines all may have an effect on sleeping habits, yet genetics (遗传学) may play the biggest role.It is possible to change your sleeping habits through regular bedtimes, early exercise and by avoiding midnight snacks. But if you're happy rising early or staying up late, you're probably doing what works best for your own personal body clock.28.How does the author introduce the subject?A.By asking questions.B.By showing research results.C.By describing two different lifestyles.D.By telling a story.29.What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 3 really mean?A.“Night owls” can focus longer than “early birds”.B.Early risers have an advantage over late risers.C.“Night owls” are as hard-working as “early birds”.D.Early to bed, early to rise is good for health.30.What did the researchers find in a Belgian study?A.Early risers can think clearly after being awake for 10 hours.te risers become sleepier than early risers.C.Early risers become as focused as late risers.te risers can think quickly after being awake for 10 hours.31.According to the passage, which of the following has (have) the most influenceon one's sleep habits?A.Genetic elements.B.Lifestyle and activities.C.Living environment.D.Childhood routines.DWalking is so simple and convenient that it couldn’t possibly count as exercise, right?
