These tales fuel our imaginations, and satisfy our longings for adventures. The most interesting thing about fantasies is that their plots involve magical beasts and heroes，animal creatures talking like humans，and other things we can’t see in real life. Also, fantasies have a distinguished writing style, with freedom of expression.Toy FantasyIn toy fantasy stories, narrators(叙述者)bring their beloved toys lo life that can live, talk, think，breathe and behave like human beings. You would see modem toy fantasies in a picture book format. Representative works are A. A. Milne’s Winnie the Pooh and Carlo Collodi’s The Adventures of Pinocchio.Animal FantasyThe animal fantasy tells tales about animals behaving like human beings, experiencing emotions, and having the ability to talk. However, animals in fantasies hold their various animal characteristics, too. Examples include The Wind in the Willows by Kenneth Grahame, Charlotte's Web by E. B. White, and The Tale of Peter Rabbit by Beatrix Potter which influences children around the world.Magical FantasyIn a magical fantasy, you see a character having magical powers, or a strange magical object becomes the subject of the story. Stories of this type began widely spreading long ago, including Roald Dahl's Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and Willi am Steig’s Sylvester and the Magic Pebble.Modern FolktalesModern folktales are types of fantasy that narrators tell in a traditional tale accompanyingsome typical parts, such as strong conflict, little description of characters, and sometimes magical elements. These tales come before all others and are popular, as authors throughout history, have written them. Hans Christian Andersen has written several tales of this category including The Nightingale, The Emperor’s New Clothes and Thumbelina.1. What is the common feature of the fantasies?A.

Who made a great contribution to the animal fantasy?A. Carlo Collodi.B. Beatrix Potter.C. William Steig.D. Hans Christian Andersen.3. Which type of fantasy has the longest history?A. The toy fantasy.B. The animal fantasy.C. The magical fantasy.D. The modem folktales.2、One of the easiest ways to stop the spread of disease is to simply wash your hands. Twenty seconds of handwashing with soap and water can reduce illnesses and save lives. But, many people, especially children, do not have good handwashing habits. One problem is that children do not wash their hands often enough or long enough. Children may think that it is a tiresome thing to do.To help handle this problem, two businesswomen from India created a product to turn handwashing into a fun activity. Amanat Anand and Shubham Issar created a tool called SoaPen, aimed at teaching kids good handwashing habits and encouraging kids to wash their hands with soap appropriately and regularly."It’s such a simple habit to do,but the fact is that people aren’t doing it, and it’s resulting in actual deaths — which is shocking. So, we decided to come up with a fun method," said Issar.As the name suggests, SoaPen is a pen made out of soap. The children draw on their hands with the soap pen and then wash the drawing off. If they don’t spend enough time washing it off, the colors remain on the children’s hands. Issar said it makes sure that children take enough timeto wash their hands. This may be especially helpful in a classroom. Often a teacher does not have the time to make each child wash his hands properly.Kids actually wash their hands for the proper amount of time because they've drawing on their hands. To obliterate the drawing, they actually wash their hands instead of just going under water and, you know, a one-second wash and off.Good news is that the school children in Mumbai, India, will soon most likely wash their hands alter handling a pet. Issar and Anand stated that SoaPen to be created every where will help promote good habits through handwashing in the city across the globe.1. Why does SoaPen come into existence?A.To cure kids of some kinds of diseases.B.To teach kids the importance of soap.C.To help kids wash their hands correctly.D.To make money from children consumers.2. Which of the following does Issar agree with?A.Handwashing is anything but little.B.SoaPen is designed for classrooms.C.Some teachers ignore kids' health in school.D.Kids don’t know the right way of handwashing.3. What does "obliterate" underlined in paragraph 5 mean?A.Show.B.Reserve.C.Learn.D.Remove.4. What can we learn from the last paragraph?A.SoaPen has become popular worldwide.B.The inventors think SoaPen has a bright future.C.SoaPen has been applied in Mumbai schools.D.Kids' health should be paid more attention to.3、A new study could hold the key to learning languages, teaching children colors or even studying complex theories.The research, published in Cognitive Science, adds to the existing evidence that adults, children and students of all ages learn better when seeing an object before hearing its description. The study builds on past research by focusing on learning in “ inconsistent” environmentsfeaturing different teaching styles or distracting(使分心的)noises.For the study, researchers purposely provided confusing information to copy these types of inconsistencies to subjects that were tasked to learn the names of three fictional characters—“yosh,” “wug” and “niz”一using two types of learning methods.The first method, “object-label learning”, is when a student sees an object first and then is provided with the label (标签). This means seeing a color before being told its name. Or hearing a description of a physical force before hearing its formal title. The second learning procedure is “label-object learning”, the reverse order in which a student sees a label first.Subjects in the study were asked to match the pictures of the characters with their made-up names. The results of the study indicate that students who see objects first and then hear the names process inconsistent information better than learners who hear the names first and then see the objects.Researchers found that learners tliat interact with the object before hearing the name perform “frequency increasing”——the ability to process noisy, inconsistent information to identify and use the most frequent rule. For example, when teachers interchangeably use “soda" or “pop” to describe the name of a carbonated drink(碳酸饮料), the children who use frequency increasing will learn to use the term that is used most frequently. A key feature of frequency increasing is that learners will also use the rule more consistently than the instructor.The research team also used mathematical modeling to confirm the observations as well as provide a theoretical explanation as to why one type of learner is different from the other. “The research combines experiments with a novel mathematical modeling show that learners deal better with inconsistencies.1. Which of the following means learning in inconsistent environments?A. Being exposed in complete quietness.B. Seeing a color before being told its name.C.Being provided with confusing information.D. Matching the pictures with their formal names.2. What does the "frequency increasing" focus on?A. Correctness.B. Variability.C. Repeatability.D. Standardization.3. How does the author support the theme of the text?A. By explaining reasons.B. By stating arguments.C.By making comparison.D. By providing research results.4. What can be a suitable title for the text?A. Order Counts while Studying SubjectsB. Teaching Kids Calls for Different StylesC. Language Learning Improves with Math CombinedD. Learning Programs Benefits from Showing Pictures4、Famous for its tolerance as well as its narrow houses and broad canals, Amsterdam is undergoing a change of attitude when it comes to the millions of tourists that come to see it each year. Tolerance has reached its limits in the capital of Dutch, which is now actively urging visitor, to head elsewhere.Ellen van Loon, a partner at Dutch architectural firm OMA says, "We don’t want to turn into a Venice. While tourism earns the Dutch economy around 82 billion euros a year, the problem we are currently facing is that Amsterdam is so loved by tourists, we just have so many coming to the city. "Netherlands tourist officials recently took the decision to stop advertising the country as a tourist destination. Their "Perspective 2030" report, published earlier this year, stated that the focus will now be on "destination management" rather than "destination promoting". The document also describes the country’s future strategy, acknowledging that Amsterdam's livability will be severely influenced by "visitor overload" if action isn’t taken.Solutions listed include working to discourage groups of visitors by either limiting or completely shutting down accommodation and entertainment products aimed at them, as well as spreading visitors to other parts of the Netherlands. Some of these measures have already come into play. Last year, the famous "I am sterdam" sign was removed from outside the Rijksmuseum, the city’s main art gallery. The two-meter high letters have been moved to various lesser-known neighborhoods in a bid to entice travelers to leave the center of the city.But will the measures being put in place be enough to save it from being damaged by its own success? Like many other locals, van Loon fears that Amsterdam has already lost its uniqueness forever. "The reason tourists come here is that there’s something in the character of Amsterdam they love," she explains. "But at a certain point, when the number of tourists is increasing and increasing, they actually kill what they loved in the first place."1. What does van Loon mean by saying "We don’t want to turn into a Venice"？A. Venice is suffering from over tourism.B. Amsterdam doesn’t necessarily copy Venice.C. Venice does more poorly than Amsterdam.D. Amsterdam is more popular than Venice.2. Why did Amsterdam advise visitors to head elsewhere?A. To reduce its pressure of mass visitors.B. To turn the focus on destination promoting.C. To promote the development of other areas.D. To avoid much spending on city management.3. What does the underlined word "entice" in paragraph 4 probably mean?A. Force.B. Persuade.C. Inform.D. Allow.4. What’s van Loon’s attitude to the measures?A. Optimistic.B. Objective.C. Skeptical.D. Ambiguous.5、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。
2020届山东省高考英语模拟试题一和答案详细解析及备考策略

try，they have discovered many wonderful places across the world．SantoriniIt is one of the most amazing places of the world in Greece． It is said to be completely destroyed in the 16th century and since then it is rebuilding and it's beauties are increasing with every passing day． The most ideal period of the year to go to this miracle is from pril to September． There are a lot of island in this city and sunbathing around any of these would be an unforgettable experience． There is a natural pool which attracts the tourists from the world．RomeThe ancient city of Rome in Italy is also called the center of western civilization． This city was discovered in 753 BC． The coliseum in Rome is the world's most iconic （标志性的） monument． There is no one who wishes to return from Rome without seeing this monument． Moreover， the Pantheon and Pizza Navona are also places worth visiting in Rome．BarcelonaThe city of Barcelona is a good mixture of modern as well as ancient Roman civilization． It is also famous due to the Olympic Games that take place in it． It is much like a big village with enjoyable streets for walking．IstanbulThe Turkish city of Istanbul is a beautiful and fascinating place to visit in lifetime． This city joins Asian and European civilizations． It is also an old city with the old name of Constantinople． It is the cultural， economical，historical center of Turkey．（1）Which city connects two continents？A． SantoriniB． RomeC． BarcelonaD． Istanbul（2）What many tourists prefer to do in Barcelona？A． Go out for sunbathing．B． Wander along the streets．C． Visit the famous monument．D． Appreciate historical attraction．（3）What do the four places have in Common？A． They are cities with an ancient history．B． They are surrounded with many islands？C． They are the origins of human civilization．D． They are located in the center of their countries．2．（10分）Rock band kiss has played for millions of people around the world over more than four decades． But today， Kiss perform for a new type of audience in water off the coast of Australia： great white sharks．The concert， presented by Airbnb， is part of a 12 hour tour to an offshore location near Port Lincoln， Australia， which is known as a feeding ground for great white sharks． Rather than using the traditional "chum"﹣﹣﹣ fish parts and blood in the water to attract the sharks﹣﹣﹣organizers hope the music will draw them in．This admittedly "over﹣the﹣top experience" was created "to educate people and show them that sharks are worthy respects， and protection，" according to Airbnb． Throughout the day， concert goers will observe sharks and other marine life in their natural habitat．The on﹣going， driving boat of rock music﹣ especially the dense， base thrumming beats of hard rock and heavy metal﹣ can attract wild sharks in theopen ocean， as Matt﹣ Waller， shark tour operator and owner of adventure Bay Charters in Australia， discovered in 2011．Waller had heard from a shark tour colleague who experimented with underwater speakers that the sharks behaved differently in the presence of music﹣particularly rock music． Over time， Waller tried many types of music，with varying degrees of success in attracting sharks．In 2015，when the Discovery Channel filmed Waller playing heavy metal underwater，the music attracted the attention of two great white sharks： one was 12 feet long， and one was 14 feet long．Now， Waller is partnering with Airbnb lo broadcast Kiss' music to great whites． While the Kiss show is certainly an unusual approach for bringing people and sharks together， perhaps the common ground of rock and roll will encourage a greater awareness of sharks as creatures that are vital to ocean ecosystems and deserving of respect rather than fear． Waller told Live Science．（1）Why does kiss hold the concert？A． To confirm a former experimentB． To change human attitudes to music．C． To introduce the sharks to the public．D． To encourage positive awareness of sharks．（2）What does the underlined word "them" in Paragraph 2 refer to？A． The performers．B． The concertgoers．C． The sharks．D． The tourists．（3）Which of the following may Matt Waller agree？A． Shark tours should be prohibited．B． Rock music can attract wild sharks．C． Humans should keep away from sharks．D． The Kiss approach is not worth following．（4）What can be the best title of the text？A． Great White Sharks Get a Concert from Kiss．B． Rock Band Kiss Holds a Concert in Australia．C． Great White Sharks Care about Music．D． Airbnb Comes into Rock﹣roll Market．3．（10分）Today is Friday the 13th of the year． Even though the date is known throughout Western culture as one associated with negative things， it's really just another Friday on the calendar．There is no scientific evidence to suggest this day has an increased chance of bad occurrences compared with other days． But that doesn't mean scientists haven't tried to find any． In Thomas W． Lawsons 1907 novel． Friday， the Thirteenth a businessman takes advantage of the superstition （迷信） and creates a Wall Street panic on the day． The book was the likely inspiration for a number of scientific examinations of stock market returns on Fridays that fell on the 13th day of the month compared with all other Fridays． In 2001， business professor at Trinity College Dublin in Ireland， published his analysis of a few of those studies and found several flaws． The studies had narrow assessments overall，focusing on just a few markets or a single stock exchange． But when he analyzed the data as a whole， Lucey found that internationally， with few exceptions returns on Friday the 13th were typically just a little higher than returns on other Fridays．The scientific evidence for cause and effect may not be there but people may still alter their behavior on Friday the 13th in a way that causes certain things to happen． The way people drive might be different from their usual． But the few studies that have examined traffic accidents haven't found statistically significant trends to suggest Friday the 13th is more dangerous than other Fridays on the road．The science is clear：Friday the 13th is a normal day．Yet，people continue to think this is meant to be a bad day．"Psychologically，superstitions arise from the desire to influence external events， decreaseanxiety and reduce uncertainty，" said Neil Dagnall， a psychologist at Manchester Metropolitan University． Besides， I don't think people know often why they do things．"（1）Why is Friday the 13th usually associated with negativity？A． The date increases possibility of risk．B． Scientists have found enough evidence．C． Culture has taught its people to believe so．D． Things always go bad or worse on the day．（2）What did Brian's Lucey's studies focus on？A． Novels relating to Friday the 13th．B． Written records of Wall Street panic．C． Analysis of successful business cases．D． Stock market returns on Friday the 13th．（3）In Paragraph 3， the few studies are mentioned to show that ．A． human fear of Friday the 13th is no1 necessary．B． traffic accidents can be avoided on other Fridays．C． people tend to behave strangely on Friday the 13th．D． staying at home is recommended on Friday the 13th．（4）What does Neil Dagnall think of superstitions？A． They can lead the endless human desires．B． They can help people to reduce anxiety．C． They cause great harm to physical healthD． They produce a sense of controlling everything．4．（10分）Many hobbies are suitable for transforming into a side business， or even a fully developed one． Even though it can take some time to establish yourself in most of these markets， it's usually well worth the effort in the long run． However， there are various considerations you'll need to make along the way．First things first﹣﹣﹣just because you're good at something it doesn'tmean it's a good idea to start a business around it． Some hobbies are just that hobbies， and they don't have a serious potential for anything more than that． You may be the best at making mini house from matches， but how many of those have been sold over the last couple of months？ Do enough research beforehand to verify that there are actually enough people out there who would have an interest in buying your product or service in the first place．Once the business is up and running，you'll need to spend the word yourself． Don't expect people to come rushing through your doors． Promotion is something that you'll ideally start thinking about before you've even set up the company． It's a highly individual process and depend on the kind of product you're selling， your local area， as well as the resources you have available for your business． But no matter how much you can afford on promotion，it's something that must always be the most important until you've established yourself properly．Once you're there， things will start flowing more smoothly． But you'll still have to keep your marketing game active because it's easy to get overtaken by your competitors if you're not careful． Make sure that you are always pushing hard on that front and consider experimenting with some more recent solutions as well．（1）What does the author advise in Paragraph 1？A． Setting up a side business as a try．B． Coming up with some creative ideas．C． Doing research on a potential market．D． Taking a serious hobby into consideration．（2）What does the underlined word "verily" in Paragraph 2 probably mean？A． Illustrate．B． Check．C． Announce．D． Indicate．（3）What can be learned from Paragraph 3？A． Not everyone can afford business promotion．B． Advertisement is not necessary in your local area．C． Resources play an important role on product sale．D． Promotion is a key factor to business development．（4）What does the text mainly tell us？A． Taking up your own hobbies．B． Setting up a successful business．C． Turning your hobby into a business．D． Establishing yourself in the market．第二节（共1小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项．选项中有两项为多余选项．5．（12.5分）My dad passed away yesterday and I am processing everything． It's hard to try and find positivity in my pain， but my Dad taught me so much when he was healthy， and when he wasn't I wanted to share some of the lessons． Be on the phone less． This one seems strange but in his final moments I was all in，no checking my phone because it really didn't matter （1）This was a moment I needed to remember and I would have regretted it if I was distracted in this part of his journey．（2）Sometimes we need people to lean on． My mom and dad needed a lot of help． I needed a lot of help． We were surrounded by people willing to help us and instead of shutting them out like we've done in the past， we let them in and it was exactly what we needed．Not everyone will understand your experience．（3）Just knowing people are here for us means a lot， but I also know that no one will fully understand my experience and that's okay as we are all different．Family is not necessarily the people who brought you into this world． I am adopted and I know we chose each other．（4） I loved my father very much．There's nothing more important than being with the ones you love． I wasable to hold my Dad when he took his last breath． My Mom and I made sure that my Dad knew he was loved through his journey．（5） Everything else is secondary．A． all that mattered was him．B． Love is what truly matters．C． Surround yourself with a support system．D． And he loved me more than anyone on this Earth．E． It's okay not to understand the reason for everything．F． Really， we can handle more than we ever thought possible．G． This was a long and hard journey for my mom and me and all of those who care about us．第二部分语言运用（共两节，满分15分）第一节（共1小题；每小题15分，满分15分）阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项．6．（15分）When Erik Kiel launched Peer2Peer Tutor， at age 16， his idea was （1）： students can help other students

2020年山东省青岛市高考英语一模试卷含答案
高考英语一模试卷题号I II III IV V 总分得分一、阅读理解（本大题共15小题，共30.0分）ASeattle's Pike Place Market stretches for four city blocks．It includes a collection of old buildings，bunches of stalls and street musicians and afters that draw both locals and visitors．The themed market wakes up each day at 5：00 a．m．Among the first to arrive are flower vendors and fish mongers （小贩）like Jason Scott．My stand is known for its tradition of throwing fish before wrapping it up for a customer．I came back out of high school and I've been here ever since．I'm 46 now．Many Pike Place Market stores are family-run and have been around for generations．Russian-speaking immigrants opened Piroshky bakery 25 years ago．Not a lot of people understand what Piroshky is．People think sometimes it's a last name，so we do have to educate people a lot．If you go to Russia and you go to a market like this，you could hear the latest scream out - Piroshky，Piroshky and that's why we call it Piroshky．Next to Piroshky is a Chinese bakery called Mee Sum pastry．It's owned by the third generation of the Fong family．They call their signature pastry，the best and biggest combos （套餐）in towns．Like Chinese hamburger，you can put chicken or puppy kibble or crispy even vegetable in it．But in this sprawling （无序扩展的）market，one of the most unusual places isn't a food or craft stall．It's the gum wall where people can stick their tiny chewed up clump on a roll．Apparently，they don't give it much thought，trying to be original．This gum wall started about 20 years ago when the theater asked people not to bring gum inside because they didn't want it under the seats，so people would put gum up on the outside．Market officials initially tried to clear the sticky stuff off the wall，but new gum always reappeared so they finally gave up．The gum wall quickly became a tourist attraction．And just like that，the gum wall turned into an attraction，highlighting a more unusual side of Seattle that locals and visitors love．1.What do we know about Seattle's Pike Place Market？______A. It's small and delicate．B. It's tidy and in order．C. It's special and attractive．D. It's modern and new．2.What is Piroshky______A. A Russian-speaking immigrant．B. A kind of baked pies．C. People's last name．D. A Chinese bakery．3.How does the writer find the gum wall______A. It should be cleared away．B. It shows the special side of Seattle．C. It is made on purpose．D. It resulted from the market officials' wrong decision．BAs an international body charged with the mission of keeping world peace and development, the United Nations cannot operate without financial support from its member countries. And as a firm defender of multilateralism (多边主义) and a beneficiary of globalization, China knows how important it is to safeguard the current world order in which the UN plays an important role. China is aware how important it is that it does its bit to ensure the UN can accomplish its missions, and knows that this is a responsibility it must undertake for the benefit of all.And Chinese people can take pride in the fact that the country has overtaken Japan to be the second-largest contributor to the UN regular budget. Since how much a country pays to the regular budget of the United Nations is a standard on how powerful the country is, at least financially. It is therefore natural that China's contribution to the UN budget should rise from2.05 percent in 2005 to 12.01 percent this year. That hike is an indicator of what the country has achieved over the past 13 years. With the country's further development, there is no doubt that its financial contribution to the UN will continue to rise. China will pay as it should.However, the more money a country pays, the more responsibility it shoulders and more say it is entitled to enjoy as a major player on the world stage. But the reality is that the rights and international standing China enjoys are still disproportional (不相称的) to what it does for the UN and its contribution to the development of the world economy. As a responsible member of the international community, China is struggling for reform of the UN and the global governance system so they are more effective and representative of the international community as a whole.Although peace and development remain the themes of the times, uncertainty and instability are on the rise. With this in mind, all countries should make combined efforts to deepen understanding, increase trust and promote cooperation. China is committed to building a community with a shared future for humanity and will continue to work with the UN to realize that vision.4.What can we learn from the first paragraph?A.

The UN must undertake the responsibility to ensure China's benefit.5.What does the underlined word "hike" in paragraph 2 probably mean?A. Walk.B. Rise.C. Budget.D. Contribution.6.What can we infer from paragraph 3?A. If a country pays more money, it can take on less responsibility.B. China's contribution to world economy equals the rights it enjoys.C. China is making great efforts to improve the situation of the UN.D. The global governance system is very satisfying now.7.What is the main idea of the text?A. China is keeping world peace and development instead of the UN.B. China contributes most to the UN regular budget.C. China enjoys more say as a great power on the world stage.D. China is working with the UN in search for common good.CDuring Amsterdam's chaotic rush hour, nine-year-old Lotta Crok cycles to a very busy junction. "Look," she says. "There's traffic coming from everywhere. Four trams from four different directions. For a child on a bike that's really confusing!"Lotta is the first junior cycle mayor in the world and her working area is the Dutch capital. You would think this challenge would be superfluous in a city known as the bicycle capital of the world. The number of bicycles in Amsterdam is estimated at 881,000—more than the city's 850,000 inhabitants—and 63% of the population cycle daily.But children who cycle in Amsterdam face challenges, Lotta says, "The three biggest problems for us are cars, cycling tourists and scooters(小型摩托). The cars take up too much space, the tourists are always swinging side to side and stop when you least expect it, and the scooters simply run you over."Lotta became junior cycle mayor in June last year when she won a contest in which schoolchildren were asked to come up with plans to make cycling safer and more fun. Her idea was to add children's bikes to the popular bike share programme.Since Lotta was appointed junior cycle mayor, she has been busy, giving interviews, opening cycling contests in the city and being a jury(评审员) member during the Amsterdam Light Parade, an event in which Amsterdammers decorate their bikes with lights.She is now planning a meeting with the city's mayor to discuss ideas that children have come up with: "One of our proposals is a bicycle park where children can learn how to cycle. Right now, most of us learn it in the street, which can be quite busy. Another idea is to create an app for tourists to teach them the rules of cycling, because most of them really don't know."Following the success of the Amsterdam scheme, cycle mayors around the world are now planning to appoint junior colleagues. "They see it works really well," Boerma, the senior major, says. "I talk to the parents, Lotta talks to the children. And if you look at the city through the eyes of a child, you will also make it accessible for others. A city that's good for aneight-year-old is also good for an 88-year-old."8.Why is a junior cycle mayor appointed in Amsterdam?A. To teach children how to ride.B. To ensure cycling is safer for children.C. To give suggestions to the city's mayor on how to run the city.D. To organize the cycling contests in the city.9.Which word can best replace the underlined word "superfluous" in Paragraph 2?A. Important.B. Unnecessary.C. Difficult.D. Valuable.10.What has Lotta done since she became the bike mayor?A. She has solved the three biggest problems for children cycling in Amsterdam.B. She has won a contest about cycling.C. She has given interviews and been a jury member during a parade.D. She has given proposals to the city mayor.11.What's Boerma's attitude to the junior cycle mayor?A. Cautious.B. Favorable.C. Ambiguous.D. Disapproving.DThe long，white robot weighs more than 450 kilograms．Like other robots，it is equipped with cameras and mechanical arms to automatically perform many different jobs．Angus is a major part of operations at Alexander's indoor robot farm about 40 kilometers south of San Francisco．The 743-square meter farm uses a hydroponic system that grows plants without soil．The plants grow inside equipment that provides a continuous flow of water．Theindoor farm uses electrical light instead of sunlight．This kind of farm uses much less water and does not require human labor to run．The main job for Angus is to move thousands of plants around the farm，from small containers to larger ones as they grow．Angus also carries plants to another robot that does not have a name yet．Angus moves slowly to complete its work．But the robot is very strong and can lift about 300 kilograms．For now，the farm uses humans to collect vegetables and other crops when they are ready．But Alexander says he is working on a robot that will eventually take over that job too．Alexander helped start the company Iron Ox after leaving Google，where he worked on robotics at the company's Google X project．He teamed up with another former Google employee，Jon Binney．Together they founded Iron Ox．Iron Ox's website says the hydroponic growing system uses 90 percent less water．It also said the growing method is up to 30 times more productive than growing crops on land．Alexander said growing food robotically throughout the year in major cities will provide amore consistent and fresh product．Most of the vegetables sold in the U．S．are grown in California，Arizona，Mexico and other nations．That means that many people in U．S．cities are eating vegetables that are nearly a week old by the time they arrive in stores．Indoor farms operate all year and are not generally affected by bad weather．This will permit the company to provide a steady flow of goods without major price changes．12.How does Angus work in the farm______A. It provides a continuous flow of water for the plants．B. It directs other robots to work in the farm．C. It works on collecting vegetables．D. It is in charge of transferring plants．13.What do we know about Alexander______A. He used to work on robotics at Google．B. He started a company studying robotics with Binney．C. He works on collecting crops when they are ready．D. He started Iron Ox by himself．14.What's the advantage of Alexander's farm______A. The vegetables from this farm sell in higher price．B. The vegetables from this farm are more nutritious．C. It uses electrical light instead of sunlight．D. It uses less water but produces more．15.Which of the following can be a suitable title for the passage______A. Robot Farm，the Future of the AgricultureB. Robot Farm，Aiming to Bring Fresher Food to US CitiesC. Alexander，an Extraordinary Scientist on RoboticsD. Hydroponic System，the New Way of Farming二、阅读七选五（本大题共5小题，共10.0分）The millipede （千足虫）Forest life(1) We enjoy watching television programs about bears，bats or monkeys．We knew a lot about their lives：how they find food or what they do at different times of the year．But what about smaller animals that are more difficult to see or film(2) A French scientist，Francois-Xavier，Joly，is studying one of them - the millipede．The importance of leavesWhen leaves begin to die in autumn，they turn from green to yellow and fall from the trees．(3) Life in the forest needs these nutrients- without them，plants could not grow and so there would be no food for other animals．Food on the forest floorSome living things，like mushrooms，break the leaves into smaller pieces and eat them．In a few months there is nothing left of them．But for mushrooms，not all trees are the same．Mushrooms prefer some types of leaves to others．This means that some leaves take much longer to break down than others，sometimes years．So what happens to these？(4) More on the menuThe millipede also likes leaves and it eats any type．But when it has finished，it produces waste．This waste then becomes the food of mushrooms．When mushrooms eat leaves they choose only certain types - But when they eat waste，they will eat any kind．(5)So next time you are walking through a forest，remember that something may be having a meal right under your feet!A．This is where the millipede can help．B．However，not all leaves are equally rich．C．Millipedes do amazing things in the soil in our forests．D．Forests are amazing places，and so are the animals that live in them．E．As they break down on the ground，nutrients are returned to the soil．F．Many small animals that live in forests are very important for the soil．G．This is how the millipede turns dead leaves into food for others and helps life continue．16.

2020届新高考英语模拟卷（山东卷）（含答案解析）2020届新高考英语模拟卷（山东卷）（含答案解析）第三卷一、阅读理解AOur new childcare location in Scheveningen!The center is surrounded by numerous international institutes and embassies and is conveniently located just 10 minutes from The Hague city center. You can easily pick up and drop off your child thanks to the many parking spaces close to the entrance.Our servicesBig Ben Kids provides day care, preschool care and after-school care. Our activity programme includes language lessons, violin lessons, guitar lessons and much more. Activities are held indoors, but can also be external, such as swimming in the river, and field trips to the woods. Children learn dancing, making music, and the native language ——Dutch! They learn through play. Our curriculum is carefully designed in such a way that the children don’t eve n notice how much they learn each day. For them，it’s all about playing and having fun!What does Big Ben Kids offer your family?Homelike environmentA warm and stimulating(趣味盎然的）atmosphere that allows children to grow and develop safely.A truly international placeOur staff members come from all over the world, just like the families we serve. We are therefore acutely aware that our centers should be much more than places that simply care for children.We always go the extra mile to help families and try to bring everyone together to form a friendly international community.Healthy mealsAt Big Ben Kids, we serve two warm, healthy, homemade meals each day. The snacks are nutritious as well, with lots of fruit and vegetables. Parents receive our menu every week in advance.1. Where does the center probably lie?A. Germany.B. France.C. Holland.D. Sweden.2. Who is the center mainly intended for?A. Foreign children.B. Preschool children.C. Native children.D. Athletic children.3. What are parents aware of about their children ahead of time?A. What activities their children join.B. What meals their children are served.C. How their children perform in class.D. Whether their children finish homework.BNorway shares a long eastern border with Sweden and is bordered by Finland and Russiato the north-east, and the Skagerrak Strait to ihe south 一Denmark on the other side of the strait. It has ail extensive coastline, facing the North Atlantic Ocean and the Barents Sea.For the last few years, Norway has registered the highest quality 6f life among the worlds nations. It is one of the wealthiestcountries in the world. Norwegians can also expect to get a good education, the job they wan! — unemployment is only 4 percent according to recent data updated in January,2019 — enjoy good health and live a long life. Its achievement today is completely unexpected for many people, especially senior citizens there. Just 80 years ago Norwegians were moving to the USA in their thousands in search of a better life. The rise in oil prices in the 1970s changed all that. On a per-capita(人均的) basis, Norway is the world’s largest producer of oil outside of the Middle East.When you arrive in Oslo, the capital of Norway, for the first don't expect to be met byDubai-style skyscrapers, and rows of Ferraris and Porsches. In 2018, Norway became one of the few countries where over 5 in every 100 passenger cars on the roads is a plug-in electric one. Norwegians also work hard and are always near the top in research on global worker productivity rates. Bui in today’s high-tech world where work seems to follow us wherever we go, the people of Norway are redefining(重新定义)what wealth means. Laws just recently passed by the government attach great importance to family and time off.Also, the country is saving for the future. Every dollar earned from oil is put straight into its pensions ——worth billions of dollars. At a time when most other western countries are wondering how they will finance the pensions of a growing retired population, Norway is sitting pretty.1.Where is the Skagerrak strait?。

I read that too. A rather extraordinary experience, isn’t it?96 days! She is actually a graduate of our college, class of 2012.(12:14-12:19) W: Oh! Really? So, Jonathan, what amazing thing have you done? (12:20-12:22) M: Well, I just went cycling across South America.(12:23-12:24) W: You didn’t!(12:24-12:39) M: I did! Just last year, before I entered the graduate school, it was such a brilliant time. Four months on the road enjoyed the wonderful scenery in the country, in towns and in cities all along the way. I got a bit tired, though. (12:39-12:48) W: Sounds great! Um, Maybe I should think seriously about my big life adventure, like taking a long walk across a national park.(12:49-12:52) M: Wow! Let me know if you need someone to go with you.材料9(14:53-14:56) W: Hi, Matt! May I ask you a few questions?(14:56-14:59) M: Certainly, Julian.

Matt!(15:45-15:46) M: You are welcome.材料10(17:35-17:43) Hello, everyone! I’m very glad to be here to talk to you. People need to feel secure and comfortable, so they can be creative. (17:44-17:50) Well- designed workplaces often create environments that make employees better thinkers. (17:50-17:58) So today I’ll talk about how to design workplaces that inspire creativity. I hope you can find it useful.(17:58-18:09) First, the color of the office walls. Decorate your office with green. Other bright colors such as light blue and yellow can also increase creativity. (18:10-18:17) Calmer colors help us concentrate. Green also reminds us of nature, which may help us to relax. (18:18-18:26) Avoid red when you are choosing a color. While it can give us a feeling of energy, it also affects our ability to analyze information.(18:27-18:38) Then let’s turn to lighting. Lighting is also important. Too dark and workers can feel sleepy. While if it is too bright, it can make them feel anxious. (18:39-18:45) The best kind of lighting is natural light. It makes us happier and more productive. (18:46-18:53) When it comes to artificial lighting, warm colors are the best. But if we need to concentrate, a bluer light is better.(18:54-19:07) Space is another important matter. A company might want to develop a variety of spaces in the office. So staff can find privacy of needed but also working open areas for creative thinking.。

The success of the 2010 Winter Olympics.B. Its close proximity to Vancouver.C. Its snow-covered mountains.D. The finest cuisine in restaurants and bars.2.Which is suggested if one has a sweet tooth?A.Whistler,B.C. B. Saskatchewan. C. Nova Scotia.D. Quebec.3. What can be expected in Saskatchewan?A. A snow sculpture competition.B. A maple-tasting experience.C. A cross-country hiking trip.D. A thrilling snow sled ride.BThe expression, “everybody’s doing it,” is very much at the center of the concept of peer pressure. It is a social influence applied on an individual in order to get that person to act or behave in a similar way as a larger group.People are social creatures by nature, and so it is hardly surprising that some part of their self-respect comes from the approval of others. This instinct explains why the approval of peers, or the fear of disapproval, is such a powerful force in many people’s lives. This instinct drives people to dress one way at home and another way at work, or to answer a simple “fine” when a stranger asks “how are you?” even if it is not necessarily true.For certain individuals, seeking social acceptance is so important that it becomes an addiction. Teens and young adults may feel forced to smoke, or drink alcohol, which might encourage criminal behavior. Mature adults may sometimes feel pressured to cover up illegal activity at the company where they work, or end up in debt because they are unable to hold back the desire to buy a house or car that they can’t afford in an effort to keep up with the peers.However, peer pressure is not always negative. A student whose friends are good at academics may be urged to work harder and get good grades. Players on a sports team may feel driven to play harder in order to help the team win. This type of influence can also get a friend off smoking, or to help an adult take up a good habit or drop a bad one.Although peer pressure is sometimes quite obvious, it can also be so subtle that a person may not even notice that it is affecting his or her behavior. For this reason, when making important decisions, simply going with an instinct is risky. Instead, people should seriously consider why they feel drawn to taking a particular action, or it is simply because everyone else is doing the same thing.4. What does the underlined word “instinct” in paragraph 2 probably mean?A. A natural tendency.B. An acquired ability.C. A popular idea.D. An obvious mistake.5. What is paragraph 4 mainly about?A. Potential causes of peer pressure.B. Possible positive effects of peer pressure.C. Negative consequences of peer pressure.D. Tips for coping with peer pressure.6. What is the author’s suggestion when making a decision?A. Simply go with an instinct.B. Ask for advice from adults.C. Listen to the inner motivation.D. Follow in the footsteps of others.7. What is the author’s attitude to peer pressure?A. Objective.B. Ambiguous.C. Critical.D. Indifferent.CThe worst outbreak of desert locusts (蝗虫) in decades is presently underway in the Horn of Africa. It is the biggest of its kind in 25 years for Ethiopia and Somalia –and the worst Kenya has seen for 70 years.What we are seeing in East Africa today is unlike anyt hing we’ve seen in a very long time. Its destructive potential is enormous, and it’s taking place in a region where farmers need every gram of food to feed themselves and their families. Most of the countries hardest hit are those where millions of people are already vulnerable (脆弱的) or in serious humanitarian need, as they endure the impact of violence, drought, and floods.We have acted quickly to respond to this outbreak. The primary method of battling locusts is the aerial spraying of pesticides (杀虫剂). FAO’s “Locust Watch” service explains that “although giant nets, flamethrowers, lasers, and huge vacuums have been proposed in the past, these are not in use for locust control. People and birds often eat locusts but usually not enough to significantly reduce population levels over large areas.”The UN’s Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs has released $10 million from its Central Emergency Relief Fund to fund a huge scale-up in aerial operations to manage the outbreak.But the window to contain this crisis is closing fast. We only have until the beginning of March to bring this infestation under control as that is when the rain and planting season begins. If left unchecked – and with expected additional rains – locust numbers in East Africa could increase 500 times by June.We must act now to avoid a full-blown catastrophe. And we will. At the same time, weneed to pay attention to a bigger picture. This is not the first time the Greater Horn of Africa has seen locust outbreak approach this scale, but the current situation is the worst in decades. This is linked to climate change. Warmer seas mean more tropical storms, generating the perfect breeding conditions for locusts.8.What is implied in paragraph 2?A. People in East Africa are suffering drought.B. People in East Africa are going through floods.C. The locust outbreak will cause crop failure.D. The locust outbreak is worsening locals’ life.9. What can we learn from the last paragraph?A. We need a bigger picture to study the disaster.B. It is the second outbreak of locusts in East Africa.C. It is the largest outbreak of locusts ever in history.D. The outbreak of locusts is fueled by global warming.10. What is the purpose of the text?A. To analyse and compare.B. To inform and call for.C. To argue and discuss.D. To introduce and assess.11. Where does the text probably come from?A. A guidebook.B. A health magazine.C. A news report.D. A chemistry paper.DScientists say they have developed a system that uses machine learning to predict when and where lightning will strike. Researchers report the system is able to predict lightning strikes up to 30 minutes before they happen within a 30-kilometer area.Lightning is a strong burst of electricity in the atmosphere. Since it carries an extremely powerful electrical charge, it can be destructive and deadly. European researchers haveestimated that between 6,000 and 24,000 people are killed by lightning worldwide each year. For this reason, climate scientists have long sought to develop methods to predict lightning.The system tested in the experiments uses a combination of data from weather stations and machine learning methods. The researchers developed a prediction model that was trained to recognize weather conditions that were likely to cause lightning.The model was created with data collected over a 12-year period from 12 Swiss weather stations in cities and mountain areas. The data, related to four main surface conditions: air pressure, air temperature, relative humidity and wind speed, was placed into a unique machine learning algorithm (算法), which compared it to records of lightning strikes. Researchers say the algorithm was then able to learn the conditions under which lightning happens.The researchers test-ran the system several times. They found that the system made predictions that proved correct almost 80 percent of the time. “It can now be used anywhere,” the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology said in a statement.The researchers plan to keep developing the technology in partnership with a European effort that aims to create a lightning protection program. The effort is called the European Laser Lightning Rod project. Scientists working on the project are experimenting with a laser technology that could someday control lightning activity, transferring lightning charges from clouds to the ground. They hope that such technology can one day be used as protection against lightning strikes. Possible uses could be at stations, airports or places where large crowds gather.12.Why was the system developed?A. To meet kids’ curiosity about lightning.B. To show the power of lightning.C. To keep track of lightning deaths.D. To protect people from lightning.13. What is special about the system?A. It was based on a number of samples worldwide.B. It adopted a different machine learning algorithm.C. It used an effective method of collecting data.D. It required low cost of predicting lightning.14. What will the researchers do next with the laser technology?A. Monitor lightning activity.B. Prevent the occurrence of lightning.C. Direct energy from lightning.D. Generate electricity with lightning.15. What can be a suitable title for the text?A. A System of Controlling LightningB. A Method of Forecasting LightningC. A Theory of Employing LightningD. A Model of Creating Lightning第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

AStill seeking a destination for your weekend break? There are some places which are probably a mere walk away from your college.King’s Art CentreA day at the Centre could mean a visit to an exhibition of the work of one of the most interesting contemporary artists on show anywhere. This weekend sees the opening of an exhibition of four local artists.You could attend a class teaching you how to "learn from the masters" or get more creative with paint-free of charge.The Centre also runs two life drawing classes for which there is a small fee.The Botanic GardenThe Garden has over 8,000 plant species ；it holds the research and teaching collection of living plants for Cambridge University.The multi-branched Torch Aloe here is impressive. The African plant produces red flowers above blue-green leaves, and is not one to miss.Get to the display house to see Dionaea muscipula, a plant more commonly known as the Venus Flytrap that feeds on insects and other small animals.The Garden is also a place for wildlife-enthusiasts. Look for grass snakes in the lake.A snake called “Hissing Sid" is regularly seen lying in the heat of the warm sun. Byron's PoolMany stories surround Lord Byron's time as a student of Cambridge University. Arriving in 1805 , he wrote a letter complaining that it was a place of “mess and drunkenness".However, it seems as though Byron did manage to pass the time pleasantly enough. I'm not just talking about the pet bear he kept in his rooms. He spent a great deal of time walking in the village.It is also said that on occasion Byron swam naked by moonlight in the lake, which is now known as Byron’s Pool. A couple of miles past Grantchester in the south Cambridgeshire countryside, the pool is surrounded by beautiful circular paths around the fields. The cries of invisible birds make the trip a lovely experience and on the way home you can drop into the village for afternoon tea. If you don't trust me, then perhaps you'll take it from Virginia Woolf—over a century after Byron, she reportedly took a trip to swim in the same pool.1. As mentioned in the passage, there is a small charge for .A. attending the masters! classB. learning life drawingC. working with local artistsD. seeing an exhibition2. "Torch Aloe" and "Venus Flytrap" are .A. common insectsB. rarely-seen snakesC. impressive plantsD. wildlife-enthusiasts3. We can infer from the passage that Byron seemed .A. to fear pet bearsB. to like walkingC. to be a heavy drinkerD. to finish university in 1805BTraders desperate to avoid owning oil fled the markets on April 27,2020, sending crude （JM 油）futures into negative territory for the first time ever, in recognition that the COVID-19 pandemic has weakened demand for fuel and there is not enough storage for the massive glut（供过于求）of oil present on US soil.Investors sold the May futures contract due to expire（期满）on Tuesday in a series of waves. At one point, the contract hit negative $ 40. When the trading stopped, crude oil had finished the day at a negative $ 37. 63 a barrel, a decline of some 305 percent, or $ 55. 90 a barrel.That unwanted oil is instead going into storage, but in the United States, storage is filling up much more quickly than expected. Cushing, Oklahoma , the tiny town of less than 10,000 people that serves as the main US storage centre, was 70 percent full as of last week, and traders say it will be full within two weeks.The price decline is good news for drivers pulling up to the pump for a fill-up, butbad news for hydraulic frackers who need higher crude oil prices of about $ 30 to $ 40 a barrel to operate profitably.US stocks dropped on Monday as investors surveyed the economic damage and considered gloomy prospects for a sustained rebound as oil prices hit the bottom of the barrel.On Monday, the Dow Jones Industrial Average lost 2.44 percent, and closed at 23,650.44. The S&P 500 slipped 1. 79 percent, while the Nasdaq Composite fell 1. 03 percent.4. Traders fled the oil markets because of .A. the COVID-19 pandemicB. no demand for fuelC. sufficient storage for the glut of oilD. no investment5. What does the underlined word mean in Paragraph 5?A. Hopeful.B. Great.C. Poor.D. Little.6. What's the main idea of this passage?A. The effects of the negative US oil price.B. The facts of US stocks.C. The reaction to the negative US oil price.D. The situation of the negative US oil price.7. From which part of the newspaper is the passage probably taken?A. Science and technology.B. Economy.C. Health.D. Culture.CThe first organized system for sending messages began in Egypt around 1500 B. C. This system developed because the pharaohs（法老）frequently needed to send messages up and down the Nile River in order to keep their empire running smoothly. Later, the Persians developed a more efficient system for sending messages using men and horses. Message carriers rode along the road system stretching from one end of the Persian Empire to the other. Along these roads, fresh men and horses waited at special stations to take and pass along any messages that needed to be sent. The stations where riders passed messages back and forth were built 23 kilometers apart, so the men and horses were able to travel quickly between them. The Romans later took up this idea and improved it by using a more advanced and extensive road system.In China. however, Kublai Khan had built up his own system for delivering messages. This system worked in the same basic way as the Roman system. The difference was that Kublai Khan kept 300,000 horses along the roads of this delivery lines. There were over 10,000stations where a message would be passed from one rider to another with a fresh horse. In this way, Kublai Khan could receive messages from anywhere in the country in only a few days.It was not until the 1500s that a well-organized postal system appeared again in Europe. One family, the von Taxis family, gained the right to deliver mail for the Holy Roman Empire and parts of Spain. This family continued to carry mail, both government and private, throughout Europe for almost 300 years.In 1653 , a Frenchman, Renouard du Velayer, established a system for delivering post in Paris. Postal charges at that time were paid by the recipient, but de Velayer's system was unique by allowing the sender to pre-pay the charges, in a similar way to the modern stamp. Unfortunately, de Velayer’s system came to an end when jealous competitors put live mice in his letter boxes, ruining his business. Eventually, government-controlled postal systems took over from private postal businesses, and by the 1700s government ownership of most postal systems in Europe was an accepted fact of life.The thing that all these early systems had in common was that they were quite expensive for public use, and were intended for use by the government and the wealthy. However, in 1840, a British school teacher named Roland Hill suggested introducing postage stamps, and a postal rate based on weight. This resulted in lowering postal rates, encouraging more people to use the system to stay in touch with each other. His idea helped the British postal system begin to earnprofits as early as 1850. Soon after that many other countries took up Mr. Hill's idea. And letter writing became accessible to anyone who could write. Today, the Roland Hill awards are given each year to "encourage and reward fresh ideas which help promote philately"(（stamp collecting)）.8. What is the main topic of the passage?A. How international letters travel.B. A surprising method for delivering mail.C. The history of postal systems.D. Changes in the methods of communication.9.

In his system, the person who received the letter paid the postage fees.10. Which of the systems mentioned in the passage was most like the postal system today?A. Egyptian.B. Chinese.C. de Velayer's.D. von Taxis’s.11. What was Roland Hill's greatest achievement?A. He made letter writing accessible to the average person.B.

To get there, the world would have to cut current emissions by 45 percent by 2030. That sounds absurdly unlikely.But before we give in to despair, we should remember that the technology to address climate change is going along at a high speed. The largest source of U. S. carbon emissions is transportation, and a Green New Deal for motor vehicles would be quite straightforward.The reason is simple: with some subsidies （补贴），electric cars and buses are now cost-competitive with fossil-fuel vehicles. Electric buses have made the greatest speed into the market, because they are a logical choice for electrification. By the end of 2018, electric vehicles were displacing about 280.000 barrels of oil demand per day——about 84 percent of which was due to buses.But the electric car market is also reaching maturity （成熟），with appealing designs, longer range, and a quickly-expanding rapid charging network in many countries. It’s worth emphasizing that most of the infrastructure（基础设施）necessary to recharge electric vehicles already exists. People often tend to assume that we would need to replace every gas station, but virtually all homes and businesses already have an electrical connection which can be easily improved for fast charging. All that is needed to go fully electric is enough battery capacity and fast charging stations to deal with long trips.Now America would have to repair its electricity production, freight rail, shipping, and so on to fully decarbonizes（脱碳）the transportation sector, which taken together will be considerably more difficult than simply extirpating fossil fuel vehicles from the market.But greening America’s vehicle would be straightforward, relatively cheap, and a hugestride forward on climate. The politics of climate change are so fearful that despair can seem logical, but the first step to achieving a tough goal is the confident belief that it can be done. And this particular step wouldn't even be that tough.12. How's the goal of keeping global warming below 1. 5 degrees Celsius according to Paragraph 1?A. Reasonable.B. Safe.C. Realistic.D. Impossible.13. How can electric vehicles compete with fossil-fuel ones?A. By getting financial support from government.B. By running at the greatest speed.C. By changing the way of transportation.D. By making consumers make logical choices.14. What should we do to promote electric cars now?A. Replace as many as gas stations.B. Solve the problem of long trips.C. Build more infrastructures for recharging.D. Make businesses have electrical connections.15. Which of the following best explains "extirpating" underlined in Paragraph 5?A. Repairing.B. Producing.C. Moving.D. Forbidding.第二节（共5小题；每小题2. 5分.满分12. 5分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选岀可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

AWhy go to Madrid?There may be a slight chill (寒冷) in the air, with temperatures staying around 15℃in March, but Spain's handsome capital is slowly starting to warm up. Even more attractive are the cultural events.A new exhibition on the living and working spaces of Spain's greatest artist, Picasso, has just opened in the studio at the Fundación Mapfre at Paseo de Recoletos 23. It runs until 11 May with rarely seen pieces borrowed from his family.Later this summer, the 400th anniversary of the death of the Renaissance (文艺复兴) painter EI Greco will be marked with an exciting exhibition at the Museo del Prado at Paseo del Prado from 24 June to 5 October.How to go?The widest range of fights is ofered by EasyJet - from Bristo, Edinburgh, Gatwick, Liverpool and Luton.

Our class had planted a large garden in what was once only a vacant lot. It was a lot of work but it was all worth it. 1 got blisters (水泡) from digging, and we all got insect bites, too.I learned a lot about gardening and collaboration (合作), and then I learned about the media. Our teacher telephoned the TV station and informed them of what we had accomplished. She spoke with the producer. The producer checked with the directors, but they said there were plenty of stories similar to ours. They wanted to know what was special about our particular garden, since many schools plant them.The teacher explained that, after going on the Internet to learn about the prairie (大草原), we had made a prairie garden. We had gone to a prairie and gotten seeds from the plants, and then we planted them. We did not water the garden, but we did weed it We decided to let nature water it with rain, since that was how prairies grew in the past. We sent a picture of the garden to the news station. In the picture, the grass was so high that it stood taller than the fourth grade students.As a result, the producer sent a reporter to our school. He interviewed the headmaster and asked him many questions about the garden. After that, they interviewed us, and we explained to them what we had learned through this project.That night, we watched the news, and there we were. The news reporter told our story. It was only two minutes long, but it was us. We were famous. All that work, all those blisters, it was worth it. We knew that when we saw the garden every day, but now we knew that the whole city thought so, too.4. What seemed to be the TV directors' initial reaction to the garden?A. They were excited.B. They were surprised.C. They were worried.D. They were uninterested.5. What is special about the garden?A. Weeds were allowed to spread naturally.B. The grass grew faster than common grass.C. The seeds came from the plants of a prairie.D. Underground water was used for the plants.6. What does the underlined word“that" refer to in the last paragraph?A. We got blisters on our hands.B. Our hard work was worthwhile.C. The garden would be famous.D. The project would be finished.7. How did the author feel about the project?A. Annoyed.B. Curious.C. Proud.D. Regretful.CHeads up! Across the country, sports injuries are a safety concern for young athletes. Now, the American Medical Association (AMA) has a new set of guidelines aimed at protecting players from the danger of concussions - serious injuries caused by a blow to the head.“By raising awareness of the serious risks associated with concussions and ensuring that the appropriate guidelines are in place, we can reduce the number of young athletes who may return to the game too soon, which can. put their health at further risk," said AMA Board Member Jack Resneck Jr, M.D., in a statement.The policy recommends that young athletes who may have a concussion be taken off the field as soon as possible. Then, they are only to return to their sport with a doctor's written approval. The policy also sets age-specific rules for health care professionals and athletic organizations in evaluating and caring for concussions.According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), a concussion is a type oftraumatic (创伤) brain injury caused by a bump, blow, or jolt to the head or hit to the body that causes the head and brain to move rapidly back and forth. This type of movement can cause the brain to bounce around or twist inside the skull (颅骨). It can damage brain cells and create chemical changes in the brain.The CDC says that between 1.6 million and 3.8 million traumatic brain injuries caused by sports and recreation-related activities occur in the U.S. every year. A study from the Center for Injury Research and Policy showed that as many as 40% of high school athletes return to playing before they should. The AMA'S new guidelines should help to bring those numbers down.8. Why does the AMA set the new guidelines?A. To raise safety standards of sports.B. To protect athletes from concussions.C. To set rules for health care evaluation.D. To help players return to the game quickly.9. What should young athletes who may have a concussion do?A. Avoid using the head.B. Leave the field forever.C. Get treatment in time.D. Switch to another sport.10. What is paragraph 4 mainly about?A. What a concussion is.B. What causes damage to brain cells.C. How the CDC works.D. How a concussion can be prevented.11. Which of the following is the best title for the text?A. Rules for Safer PlayB. Sports Injuries in the USC. Advice to AthletesD. New Policies for DoctorsDOrganic food is very popular. It is also expensive. Some organic food costs twice as much as non-organic food, but new parents and pet owners are willing to pay up to 200% more for organic food. However, there are people who think it is a waste of money.There is one main difference between organic and non-organic food. Organic farms do not use agricultural chemicals, such as pesticides (杀虫剂). In many countries organic foods have special labels. These guarantee that the products are natural.Some people think organic means locally grown. Originally this was true. Over time organic farming became more difficult. The demand for organic food grew larger than the supply. Small companies had to sell out to large companies. There weren't enough organic ingredients (原料), such as grain and cattle. This made it difficult for many organic companies to stay in business. Today, many large companies have an organic line of products.Is organic food more nutritious? This is part of the debate. Many farmers and consumers believe it is. They think agricultural chemicals cause health problems such as cancer. Many health professionals disagree. Few studies prove that organic foods prevent health problems. Health specialists worry more about bacteria (病毒), such as E.coli and salmonella. These can get into contact with organic and non- organic food. Doctors recommend washing produce very carefully. Handling meat carefully is important too.Most people agree that naturally grown food tastes better. Is tastier food worth the extra money? This is a matter of opinion. Whether it is healthier or not may require more research. However, organic consumers argue it is better to be safe than sorry.12. What is probably the major concern of organic food consumers?A. Price.B. Safety.C. Freshness.D. Variety.13. What is the doctors' suggestion?A. Grow your own food.B. Reduce the use of pesticides.C. Make sure the food is clean.D. Buy large companies' products.14. Which of the following do most people agree on organic food?A. It tastes better.B. It is easier to grow.C. It contains more fat.D. It is more nutritious.15. Where does this text probably come from?A. A recipe book.B. A chemistry paper.C. A medical report.D. A health magazine.第二节(共5小题:每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

college preparatory school in the United States, knew last year that he wanted his independent study on the environment to have a broad impact on the community.In order to"reduce the carbon footprint,"Stewart planned to produce enough solar energy to power the school's science labs.Now his plan is set to happen.The installation of30solar panels is scheduled for late January.As he began his research on solar energy,he discovered a useful phone app.By entering an address, he could find out how much sunlight the location receives each day.Based on how much sunlight it receives,Stewart found that his school building was the desired position.At the suggestion of his science teacher,Debbie Wheeler,Parker first performed an energy audit(测算)of the science lab to see how much energy a typical lab uses per day.Then,he started his research,contacting a local installer of solar panels,Synergy Home,to do the job.Parker lacked money for launching the project,so he convinced Sayre's head of school to fund him after explaining the benefits of solar power for the school and community.Since Sayre provided the initial seed money to provide supplies and the purchase of one panel,the project has grown to include a total of30panels.They are expected to generate enough energy to run all four of the science labs on campus."It feels like a dream to think that an idea I had resulted from my AP Environmental class would have this kind of impact,"said Stewart,expressing gratitude for Wheeler's help.Wheeler said the success of the project was due to Parker's efforts and willingness to follow through on the project from start to finish.“I've had other students talk about environmental initiatives on campus,but Parker had the persistence to make it happen,"she said.4.How did the app help Stewart start his project?A.To find an ideal location.B.To conduct an energy audit.C.To look up specific information.D.To introduce financial aids.5.Who invested in Stewart's project at the beginning?A.Sayre School.B.His parents.C.Synergy Home.D.His community.6.What inspired Stewart to do his solar power project?A.The phone app he discovered.B.The air pollution in his community.C.A suggestion from his science teacher.D.An idea from his Environmental class.7.What contributed to Stewart's success according to Wheeler?A.His wisdom.B.His bravery.C.His willpower.D.His independence.CRescue workers and thousands of volunteers are not the only ones who have won hearts and minds for their heroic efforts in the search for survivors after Tuesday's powerful earthquake in Mexico.Fifteen dogs from the navy's canine(军犬)unit have assisted this week in the rescue efforts at the sites of collapsed buildings across Mexico City,where more than50people have been pulled alive from the ruins.Of the canine heroes none is more famous or loved than Frida,a six-year-old white Labrador who in her distinguished service has won praise for her ability to detect people who have been trapped by various natural disasters.Over her admirable career she has found52people including12 survivors in Mexico and other Latin American countries.This week,Frida and Evil and Echo—two Belgian Shepherds that have also been specially trained for rescue efforts一were sent to the site of the collapsed Enrique Rebsamen School in southern Mexico City.Equipped with goggles that protect her eyes from dust and smoke,boots to prevent damage to her paws while she climbs over rough ruins,Frida took to her work looking every bit the part of the ruins.If Frida detects the presence of a survivor,she is trained to bark to alert rescue workers but if she detects a corpse she stops suddenly before proceeding,her handler explained.Eleven children were rescued from ruins at the school but this time human rescue workers rather than the dogs were the ones who located them.However,that hasn't stopped Frida from becoming a social media star and reaching a new level of fame this week.Videos and other social media posts that highlight the work of Frida and her impressive record of detecting people trapped by natural disasters spread quickly online.While she has yet to detect anyone trapped in the ruins this week,she and other rescue dogs are continuing to work tirelessly,searching through spaces that humans cannot reach.With the possibility that there are still people trapped alive,time will tell whether she adds to her rescue record.8.Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A.Severe earthquakes in MexicoB.Undertaking rescue work.C.People waiting for rescueD.Special rescuers in Mexico.9.What makes Frida a social media star?A.Her rescue records and tireless work.B.Her cooperation with the rescue team.C.Her cool appearance with some special devices.D.Her ability to search spaces beyond humans'reach.10.What does the underlined word"corpse"in paragraph5probably mean?A.An article of clothing.B.An unconscious animal.C.A dead person.D.A special signal.11.It can be inferred from the last paragraph that_______.A.Frida will achieve nothingB.Frida will probably work miraclesC.more dogs will be sent to the areaD.the rest of the rescue will be done by dogsDHybrid cars,also called hybrid electric vehicles(HEVs),are cars that use more than one source of energy to run.They differ from the majority of cars on the road today in several ways.The main difference is that HEVs run on gasoline and electricity.An HEV car has a battery-powered motor as well as an engine that runs on gasoline.A hybrid car is a bit more expensive to produce than a regular car even though its engine is smaller.The reason for the greater expense is that the engine is more complex.It has specialized mechanisms that allow it to operate using gasoline and electric power.It also contains a computer that works differently from those of regular cars.Even though it is more expensive to purchase,it costs less to own than gas-powered cars.When an HEV car is at a stoplight or going at a speed below15miles per hour,its special computer tells it to run just on electric power.When the computer senses that the car needs more power,it puts the gasoline engine back to work.The computer is constantly deciding whether the car will use electricity,gas,or a combination of the two.Because the HEV has electric power to help it run,it uses much less fuel than most cars.In fact hybrid cars are the most fuel-efficient cars that exist today.They can get from50to60miles pergallon on average.The high mileage saves money for the car owner and conserves precious supplies of petroleum.Hybrid cars help the environment in other ways too.For example,whenthe HEV is using electric power,it does not send out poisonous smoke that pollute the air. Despite the differences between hybrid cars and regular cars,HEVs offer the same feel as regular cars.They handle the same way and speed up and stop in the same way too.HEVs,though,are generally smaller than gasoline-powered cars.Their rounded,aerodynamic frame helps add to their fuel efficiency but unfortunately does not add to the amount of space inside the vehicle.12.Which statement best explains the characteristics of an HEV?A.Safe and reliable.B.Expensive but long-lasting.C.Smaller engine,greater power.D.High price,low carbon.13.The transformation between the gasoline and electricity in an HEV is operated by________.A.the engineB.the batteryC.the computerD.the driver14.For what purpose was the HEV invented?A.To save energy.B.To provide better service.C.To lower the expense of purchase.D.To give the drivers a different feeling.15.Where does the passage probably come from?A.A health report.B.A science magazine.C.A vehicle advertisement.D.A travel journal.第二节(共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

AWinter Adventures Await in the Canadian RockiesAlberta is the top destination for the outdoor wonderland experiences and the chilly winter is the hottest season of the year for you to adventure in the most beautiful magical,powerful places on the planet and keeps you coming back.Here are tips for experiencing some of the best adventures winter has to offer in Alberta.Hit the slopesSet deep in what's widely regarded as the world's most scenic ski area at Banff National Park,the Lake Louise Ski Resort invites everyone from first-timers to advanced shredders to its4,200acres of skiable area.Climb a frozen waterfallJasper National Park,part of the Canadian Rocky Mountain Parks World Heritage site,has an area of6,759square miles of mountains,glacial peaks and forests. Rivers lead to steep falls,which freeze into ice climbs as early as October and valleyclimbs form just a month later.While experienced climbers can cope with the frozen waterfalls without a guide,beginners need not shy away:basic training courses are offered for free.Blaze a trail in the snowThe Athabasca Glacier is an ancient relic among the massive Columbia Ice field. While it's recommended to access the glacier only with an experienced guide,the area surrounding it offers cross-country snowshoeing trails that lead to it.No matter your mode of transport,this area is one of the darkest in Canada,which means the night sky provides a perfect backdrop for the dancing northern lights-so dress extra warm and struggle through the deep snow to glimpse one of nature's most colorful wonders.Hidden gemThe month-long Snow-Day festival takes over Banff National Park each January. Cultural and sporting events,including ice carving and the Big Bear ski and rail competition,unfold throughout the event,but the real treat comes at the start,when live music fills the streets during the party,and a beer garden and ice fire pit keep the tourists warm.The most splendid winter sunset can be seen throughout Alberta.As Mike Libecki, a National Geographic Adventurer of the Year,says,Alberta is one that keeps him coming back.1.What is a unique activity in the Jasper National Park?A.Adventuring in the Canadian Rockies.B.Climbing the frozen waterfalls.C.Watching beautiful sunset.D.Skiing in the snow mountain.2.Which would be a destination for those who are eager to enjoy polar lights?A.Banff National ParkB.Jasper National ParkC.The Athabasca GlacierD.The Lake Louise Ski Resort3.When is the best time for tourists to visit Banff National Park?A.In early October.B.In late November.C.At the beginning of January.D.In the middle of December.4.What is Alberta most probably?A.It is a region full of tourist resources in Canada.B.It is the highest peak of the Canadian Rockies.C.It is a beautiful village surrounded by attractions.D.It is the biggest national park in Canada.【答案】1.B 2.C 3.C 4.A【解析】这是一篇说明文。

AThe Breakfast ClubStarred by John Hughes，1985Five high school students with nothing in common are forced to spend an entire Saturday together in detention(拘留)．At seven am．they had nothing to say，but by four pm，they had bared their souls to each other and became good friends—the Jock，the Brain，the Criminal，the Princess，and the Kook．They were finally able to talk about themselves while they were forced to stay together．Pretty in Pink．Starred by Howard Deutch，1986Pretty in Pink looks at the central dilemma of adolescence where one’s dreams are much larger than one’s confidence．Molly Ringwald plays Andie Walsh，a poor girl living with her father and working in a downtown record store．The school she attends is full of wealthy snobs(势利小人)and she likes a rich kid Blane．There is nothing new about the plot—rich boy and poor girl love each other and snobbery nearly destroys the romance．CluelessStarred by Amy Heckerling and Alicia Silverstone，1995Cher，played by Alicia Silverstone，is one of the most popular girls at Beverly Hills High School where rich kids hang out，talk to each other on cell phones and occasionally attend classes．At 15 going on 16，Cher has it all—a white Jeep，an extensive wardrobe with a computer to help select the perfect dress，and an unbelievable ability to charm，cajole and whine(哄骗和哭诉)until others obey her requests．The dialogue is wiry and entertaining．1．The Breakfast Club is about__________．A．a prince and a princess B．several criminalsC．several students D．some tourists2．we can conclude from Pretty in Pink that__________．A．the love between Molly and Blane aren’t going smoothlyB．Molly and Blane eventually get marriedC．Molly’s and Blane’a parents quite agree to their loveD．the love between Molly and Blane defeats snobbery3．Which of the following is starred by Howard Deutch?A．The Breakfast Club．B．Pretty in Pink．C．Clueless．D．Beverly Hill Schoo1．4．We can infer that the Breakfast Club，Pretty in Pink and Clueless are three_____．A．world-famous paintings about religionB．Disney’s cartoons about love storiesC．films about teenagersD．ancient Roman fairy talesBPeople back in the United States are always asking me，“What’s it like to live in China?”They hope to hear strange stories about weird food and cultural conflicts．Instead，I tell them that living in China is like being a baby．Please don’t misunderstand me．I don’t think that Chinese people are babies．I am a baby．Or at least，I become one when I leave my house．That’s because babies can’t read，and when I leave my house in Beijing，I'm illiterate(不识字的)．This can be dangerous．If a sign says，“Watch out for big angry bears，”in Chinese，I will continue walking，completely ignorant of my peril(危险)．Then a bear will eat me for breakfast．I have started to recognize a few characters，but they seem impossible to ever learn withouta lifetime of study．When I see a character I like．I give it a name．There is“The Square，”“The Octopus(章鱼)，”“The-upside-down Octopus，”and my favorite，“Upside-down Octopus on an airplane．”However，I still don’t know their sounds or meanings．They are just beautiful mysteries to my eyes．Because I can’t read，city streets present an endless series of enigmas．If I see a business，I wonder，“Is that a restaurant? A dentist? A lawyer’s office?”Once，while hungry，I saw a big colorful sign．I walked in and asked a realtor(房屋中介)to see the drink menu．Speaking of menus，eating at restaurant is a daily misadventure．Many places have photos of food，which is helpful．But if they have no photos，I walk from table to table and point at whatever looks delicious．I apologize if I’ve ever interrupted your dinner to point at your

faces in China．D．How the author overcomes difficulties in learning Chinese．CMorgan Holmes had taken part in Boy Scouts of America activities for a few years，but she only became a full member recently．This was because the Boy Scouts began accepting girls from fifth grade to 12th grade into a new program called Scouts BSA．It brings girls the opportunities boys have，including becoming Eagle Scouts，the highest rank of the Boy Scouts．“I'm loving it，”Morgan，now 17，said．“I finally get to wear the uniform now．”Six middle school girls have joined Morgan in Troop48 in Scouts BSA．Some were members of Girls Scouts，and some have brothers in the Boy Scouts．Now brothers and sisters can take part in activities．Morgan knows Boy Scouts activities well．Starting when she was 14，Morgan went on high-adventure outings like hiking 1 00 miles and shooting guns．But she’d never been able to progress to become an Eagle Scout．Now Morgan’s goal is to reach the top rank of Eagle Scout．She regularly runs a mile to build up her body．Now，she’s planning on camping in the snow．“The journey to get there is really exciting，”she said．Since Boy Scout activities are led by the Scouts themselves，Morgan，as the oldest girl，will be organizing activities and teaching the girls to tie knots and other skills．One of those girls in Troop48 is Nicolette U1rich，who is also in the Girl Scouts．Her mother，Sasha Ulrich，said she sees，the Boy Scouts as more leadership oriented and the Girl Scouts as more culturally oriented．This will be shown by all upcoming gathering where girls will learn about different food and cultures from around the world．“Girl Scouts is a great group and she’11 continue to do that．”Sasha said．“But she also wanted the opportunities provided by the Boy Scouts．”9．What did Morgan want to do after becoming a full member of Boy Scouts?A．She wanted to join in the activities with her brother．B．She wanted to challenge herself to become，all Eagle Scout．C．She wanted to compete with boys in

think of Boy Scouts?A．It is more culturally oriented．B．It helps to build teamwork．C．It helps to improve leadership．D．It is more interesting than Girl Scouts．DOne step too farScientists have been trying to figure out how to alter the genes of humans for many years now，and it looks like they’ve finally cracked(破解)the code．But while this may seem like a great step forward in science，some also believe that it’s one step back when it comes to ethics．In August，a group of scientists from the US and South Korea worked together to successfully edit a human embryo and remove a genetic mutation(突变)that would have led to heart disease，reported The Guardian．This was achieved with the help of CRISPR，a gene-editing tool that allows scientists to“cut and paste”human DNA．Although this was the first example of an embryo’s genes being changed successfully，the benefits of gene editing have already been tested in living patients．In 2015，a five-month-old girl from the UK was saved after doctors used edited cells to fight off her cancer．As of today，she’s alive and well．And in the US last year，scientists managed to remove HIV cells from several patients by editing the genes inside their bodies．Some people hope that in the future，diseases or birth detects could simply be “edited out”．However，others believe this could lead to so-called designer babies，giving parents the option to choose everything from eye color to intelligence．“You could find wealthy parents buying the latest‘upgrades’for their children，leading to even greater inequality than we already live with，”Marcy Darnovsky，director of the SanFrancisco Center for Genetics，told BBC News．In spite of these ethical concerns，experts say it’s not possible to create the“perfect”human being．Despite the progress scientists have made，We don’t understand human genes enough to give all unborn child great brainpower or amazing singing abilities．“Right now，we know nothing about genetic enhancement，”Hank Greely，a director of sciences at Stanford University，US，told The New York Times．“We’re never going to be able to say，honestly，‘This embryo looks like it would score high on the two-part SAT．’”So it looks like if we want good exam results，or to impress people with our piano skills，we’11 have to stick with the old fashioned method of plain hard work—at least for now．12．The underlined word“alter”in Paragraph 1 probably means________．A．record B．change C．remove D．increase13．Why do some people consider human gene editing a step backwards?A．They don’t think it is an effective way to light diseases．B．They are concerned that it could lead to genetic mutations．C．They think it could lead to designer babies and increased inequality．D．They worry that it could make parents abandon children with birth defects．14．What was the first successful example of human embryo gene editing?A．A genetic mutation related to heart disease was removed by scientistsB．A newborn baby with cancer was saved by edited cells．C．HIV cells were removed from patients’bodies．D．Some birth defects were simply edited out．15．What can we conclude from the text?A．Gene editing is regarded as the perfect way to treat birth defects．B．There is still a long way to go to fully understand human genes．C．Gene editing could help enhance human intelligence in the near future．D．Scientists are pessimistic about the future of gene editing．第二节(共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

AWhy go to Madrid?There may be a slight chill (寒冷) in the air, with temperatures staying around 15℃ in March, but Spain's handsome capital is slowly starting to warm up. Even more attractive are the cultural events.A new exhibition on the living and working spaces of Spain's greatest artist, Picasso, has just opened in the studio at the Fundación Mapfre at Paseo de Recoletos 23. It runs until 11 May with rarely seen pieces borrowed from his family.Later this summer, the 400th anniversary of the death of the Renaissance (文艺复兴) painter EI Greco will be marked with an exciting exhibition at the Museo del Prado at Paseo del Prado from 24 June to 5 October.How to go?The widest range of fights is ofered by EasyJet - from Bristo,Edinburgh, Gatwick, Liverpool and Luton. British Airways and its sister arline Iberia combine fores from Heathrow and London City. Ryanair flies from Manchester and Stansted; Air Europa flies from Gatwick.Barajas airport is 13km north-east of the city centre and is served by frequent trains on Metro line 8, but the shortest underground journey is a bit complex with at least one change at Nuevos Miniterios station and takes about 30 minutes. The fare to any station in the city entre is €4.50. The airport express bus runs every 15 to 35 minutes around the clock; €5 one way. It takes 40 minutes to reach the city centre.

Our class had planted a large garden in what was once only a vacant lot. It was a lot of work but it was all worth it. 1 got blisters (水泡) from digging, and we all got insect bites, too.I learned a lot about gardening and collaboration (合作), and then I learned about the media. Our teacher telephoned the TV station and informed them of what we had accomplished. She spoke with the producer.The producer checked with the directors, but they said there were plenty of stories similar to ours. They wanted to know what was special about our particular garden, since many schools plant them.The teacher explained that, after going on the Internet to learn about the prairie (大草原), we had made a prairie garden. We had gone to a prairie and gotten seeds from the plants, and then we planted them. We did not water the garden, but we did weed it We decided to let nature water it with rain, since that was how prairies grew in the past. We sent a picture of the garden to the news station. In the picture, the grass was so high that it stood taller than the fourth grade students.As a result, the producer sent a reporter to our school. He interviewed the headmaster and asked him many questions about the garden. After that, they interviewed us, and we explained to them what we had learned through this project.That night, we watched the news, and there we were. The news reporter told our story. It was only two minutes long, but it was us. We were famous. All that work, all those blisters, it was worth it. We knew that when we saw the garden every day, but now we knew that the whole city thought so, too.4. What seemed to be the TV directors' initial reaction to the garden?A. They were excited.B. They were surprised.C. They were worried.D. They were uninterested.5. What is special about the garden?A. Weeds were allowed to spread naturally.B. The grass grew faster than common grass.C. The seeds came from the plants of a prairie.D. Underground water was used for the plants.6. What does the underlined word“that" refer to in the last paragraph?A. We got blisters on our hands.B. Our hard work was worthwhile.C. The garden would be famous.D. The project would be finished.7. How did the author feel about the project?A. Annoyed.B. Curious.C. Proud.D. Regretful.CHeads up! Across the country, sports injuries are a safety concern for young athletes. Now, the American Medical Association (AMA) has a new set of guidelines aimed at protecting players from the danger of concussions - serious injuries caused by a blow to the head.“By raising awareness of the serious risks associated with concussions and ensuring that the appropriate guidelines are in place, we can reduce the number of young athletes who may return to the game too soon, which can. put their health at further risk," said AMA Board Member Jack Resneck Jr, M.D., in a statement.The policy recommends that young athletes who may have a concussion be taken off the field as soon as possible. Then, they are only to return to their sport with a doctor's written approval. The policy also sets age-specific rules for health care professionals and athletic organizations in evaluating and caring for concussions.According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), a concussion is a type of traumatic (创伤) brain injury caused by a bump, blow, or jolt to the head or hit to the body that causes the head and brain to move rapidly back and forth. This type of movement can cause the brain to bounce around or twist inside the skull (颅骨). It can damage brain cells and create chemical changes in the brain.The CDC says that between 1.6 million and 3.8 million traumatic brain injuries caused by sports and recreation-related activities occur in the U.S. every year. A study from the Center for Injury Research and Policy showed that as many as 40% of high school athletes return to playing before they should. The AMA'S new guidelines should help to bring those numbers down.8. Why does the AMA set the new guidelines?A. To raise safety standards of sports.B. To protect athletes from concussions.C. To set rules for health care evaluation.D. To help players return to the game quickly.9. What should young athletes who may have a concussion do?A. Avoid using the head.B. Leave the field forever.C. Get treatment in time.D. Switch to another sport.10. What is paragraph 4 mainly about?A. What a concussion is.B. What causes damage to brain cells.C. How the CDC works.D. How a concussion can be prevented.11. Which of the following is the best title for the text?A. Rules for Safer PlayB. Sports Injuries in the USC. Advice to AthletesD. New Policies for DoctorsDOrganic food is very popular. It is also expensive. Some organic food costs twice as much as non-organic food, but new parents and pet owners are willing to pay up to 200% more for organic food. However, there are people who think it is a waste of money.There is one main difference between organic and non-organic food. Organic farms do not use agricultural chemicals, such as pesticides (杀虫剂). In many countries organic foods have special labels. These guarantee that the products are natural.Some people think organic means locally grown. Originally this was true. Over time organic farming became more difficult. The demand for organic food grew larger than the supply. Small companies had to sell out to large companies. There weren't enough organic ingredients (原料), such as grain and cattle. This made it difficult for many organic companies to stay in business. Today, many large companies have an organic line of products.Is organic food more nutritious? This is part of the debate. Many farmers and consumers believe it is. They think agricultural chemicals cause health problems such as cancer. Many health professionals disagree. Few studies prove that organic foods prevent health problems. Health specialists worry more about bacteria (病毒), such as E.coli and salmonella. These can get into contact with organic and non- organic food. Doctors recommend washing produce very carefully. Handling meat carefully is important too.Most people agree that naturally grown food tastes better. Is tastier food worth the extra money? This is a matter of opinion. Whether it is healthier or not may require more research. However, organic consumers argue it is better to be safe than sorry.12. What is probably the major concern of organic food consumers?A. Price.B. Safety.C. Freshness.D. Variety.13. What is the doctors' suggestion?A. Grow your own food.B. Reduce the use of pesticides.C. Make sure the food is clean.D. Buy large companies' products.14. Which of the following do most people agree on organic food?A. It tastes better.B. It is easier to grow.C. It contains more fat.D. It is more nutritious.15. Where does this text probably come from?A. A recipe book.B. A chemistry paper.C. A medical report.D. A health magazine.第二节(共5小题:每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。
