2019-2020学年北京大学附属中学高三英语一模试卷及参考答案
2019-2020学年北京大学附属中学高三英语一模试卷及参考答案第一部分阅读（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项AWhat to See InHarbinParks inHarbin: Snow Sculpture Expo on theSunIslandPark: massive and beautifully carved sculptures of snow. Ice Lantern Festival: where large ice buildings and statues constructed with lights inside that make them glow.SiberianTigerPark: The park has several large caged areas where the tigers roam freely and live as they-would in their natural environment. We enter these caged areas in a specially designed van with large windows to get a look at these beautiful beasts. Live pheasants (雉) are let loose (if you pay) in order to show you the tigers' natural hunting skills.Russian Architecture: Blessed with grace and character, the city is famous for its unique, Russian-influenced architecture. Remnants (残存) from the days when Harbin wasan important stop on the Russian Manchurian Railroad, the dome-shaped structures remind people of pre-revolutionary Russia. The strong Russian flavor continues to impact the city today due to new trade and tourism betweenHarbinandRussia.TheCentral Avenue: Passers-by only street, a perfect remaining part of the busy international business activities at the turn of the 20th century. The 1.4-km long street is a worthy museum of European architectural styles, including Baroque and Byzantine facades, Jewish architectural wonders, little Russian bakeries, French fashion houses, American snack food outlets, and Japanese restaurants.Guogeli Avenue:Harbin's second biggest shopping district dotted with Russian buildings. A tram track is still preserved in the centre of the road. The street is named after Nikolay (Vasilyevich) Gogol (1809-1852); great Russian novelist, dramatist, satirist, founder of the so-called critical realism in Russian literature, best-known for his novel MERTVYE DUSHI I-II (1842, Dead Souls).Saint Sophia Church (built in 1903): The Orthodox church is a wonderful example of Russian Architecture. We only tour the outside of the church. The inside has been turned into some painters' market and is a big disappointment to all who visit it. You are welcome to venture into the church. Entrance fees are RMB20 per person.1. From where does the author look at the tigers?A. Through the windows of his house.B. In the closed areas of tigers.C. In the areas for walking.D. In their natural environment.2. Where can visitors see the most diverse styles of architecture?A. At Ice Lantern Festival.B. On the Russian Manchurian Railroad.C. On TheCentral Avenue.D. OnGuogeli Avenue.3. When walking in the city ofHarbin, what can visitors still strongly feel?A. The Russian flavor.B. The influence of Guogeli's realism.C. The damage to Saint Sophia Church.D. The mixture of American and Japanese cultures.BIt’s easy to do easy things, but they don’t carry the challenges and rewards of doing something difficult. Scott Kelly said he tried to express that view everywhere he went. And he spoke from experience, having spent a career that included the time as a NASA astronaut, US Navy captain, fighter pilot, and engineer.Scott spoke at the University of North Alabama, sharing stories about his experience of spending a year on the International Space Station (ISS). He said the physical pressure of living in weightlessness for a year was hard to describe and that the fluids(积水) in his head sometimes made him feel like he was standing on his head. It also needed some time to recover when he returned home. “My legs were weak and it would be uncomfortable to sit for a while because my body hadn’t had that pressure so long,” Scott said.He discussed life aboard including spending time with Russian astronauts. They came from different cultures. He had managed to get along well with everyone aboard as they lived together, worked together, and had to rely on each other. He thought it was one of the most rewarding things in his life.Though life there was not easy, Scott never regretted being an astronaut and going to space. He also discussed experiences growing up, admitting that he wasn’t always the greatest student but was able to overcome that through hard work and determination.“Never give up or lower your dreams. If you work for it, all things are possible. There is a zero percent chance of succeeding if you don’t even try. And when you succeed after trying hard, you’ll find it really rewarding,” Scott said in the end.4. Scott mentioned his experience in the ISS mainly to show ________.A. he enjoyed making speechesB. he was a responsible astronautC. his life in space was challengingD. the daily life of an astronaut can be boring5. What may benefit Scott most when he lived with Russian astronauts?A. He won some awards through teamwork.B. He found the fun of living in the Space Station.C. He learned to develop close relationships with others.D. He picked up some knowledge of Russian culture.6. Which of the following can best describe Scott?A. Kind and thoughtful.B. Curious and humorous.C. Easygoing and sociable.D. Hardworking and determined.7. What does the author intend to tell us from Scott’s story?A. It’s importantto have a dreamB. Easy things are also worth doingC. A suitable career leads one to success.D. Difficult things are demanding but rewardingCIn the old days, when you had to drive to a movie theater to get some entertainment, it was easy to see how your actions could have an impact（影响）on the environment. After all, you were jumping into your car, driving across town, coughing out emissions（产生排放）and using gas all the way. But now that we're used to staying at home and streaming movies, we might get a littleproud. After all, we're just picking up our phones and maybe turning on the TV. You're welcome. Mother Nature.Not so fast, says a recent report from the French-based Shift Project. According to "Climate Crisis: The Unsustainable Use of Online Video", digital technologies are responsible for 4% of greenhouse gas emissions, and that energy use is increasing by 9% a year. Watching a half-hour show would cause 1. 6 kilograms of carbon dioxide emissions. That's like driving 6. 28 kilometers. And in the European Union, the Eureca project found that data centers（where videos are stored）there used 25% more energy in 2017 compared to just three years earlier, reports the BBC.Streaming is only expected to increase as webecome more enamored ofour digital devices（设备）and the possibility of enjoying entertainment where and when we want it increases. Online video use is expected to increase by four times from 2017 to 2022 and account for 80% of all Internet traffic by 2022. By then, about 60% of the world's population will be online.You're probably not going to give up your streaming services, but there're things you can do to help lessen the impact of your online use, experts say. For example, according to Lutz Stobbe, a researcher from the Fraunhofer Institute in Berlin, we have no need to upload 25 pictures of the same thing to the cloud because it consumes energy every time. If instead you delete a few things here and there, you can save energy. Moreover, it's also a good idea to stream over Wi-Fi, watch on the smallest screen you can, and turn off your Wi-Fi in your homeif you're not using your devices.8. What topic is the first paragraph intended to lead in?A. The environmental effects of driving private cars.B. The improvements on environmental awareness.C. The change in the way people seek entertainment.D The environmental impacts of screaming services.9. What does the underlined phrase become more enamored of" in paragraph 3 probably mean?A. Get more skeptical of.B. Become more aware of.C. Feel much crazier about.D. Get more worried about.10. What can we infer about the use of streaming services?A. It is being reduced to protect the planet.B. Its environmental effects are worsening.C. It is easily available to almost everyone.D. Its side effects have drawn global attention.11. Which of the following is the most environmentally-friendly?A. Watching downloaded movies on a mobile phone.B. Downloading music on a personal computer.C. Uploading a lot of images of the same thing.D. Playing online games over mobile networks.DIn the Pacific Northwest during winter, 5:15 am might as well be the dead of night. The alarm goes off and the onlylight is the red glow from my clock. My body says, “Go back to bed.” But I don’t. I know my running partner will be waiting in the street and I’m not going to stand her up. Then I walk onto the road, complaining about the cold and wishing I were back under my warm covers.If you’d have asked me a year ago if I could see myself running at 5:15 on a winter morning, I’d have laughed. Morning just wasn’t my thing and running in the morning was something I didn’t even consider. “I prefer to work out in the middle of the morning or in the afternoon,” I’d say to my friends who go to the gym before work.Then, last fall I reconnected with an old neighborhood friend. She’d been running in the morning and taken off forty pounds that year. When I looked in the mirror, I knew I could benefit from the same kind of weight loss. I asked if I could join her. I knew I needed to change something if I was going to get back in shape.The first two months were especially hard, because we ran twice a week at 5:15 am and I slept till 7:00 the other mornings. But as I’ve adjusted to the routine of running, I’ve discovered great joys that make it even more worthwhile than a little weight loss.While I haven’t lost forty pounds yet, it’s amazing how much more energy I have and how much stronger I feel. Because of the morning run, the rest of my day is more productive. I wouldn’t say I’ve become a morning person, but I would say morning running is now my thing.12. What can we know about the author from paragraph 1?A. 5:15 is the ideal time for her to exercise.B. She prefers to run without any company.C. She takes the run with warm clothes on.D. She goes for a run in spite of the cold and early rise.13. What was the author’s attitude to morning running a year ago?A. Scared.B. Unfavorable.C. Supportive.D. Confused.14. What made the author begin to run in the morning?A. Her partner’s encouragement.B. Her friend’s suggestion.C. Realizing the benefits of running.D. Realizing the harm of being fat.15. What effect does morning runninghave on the author?A. She has become slim again.B. She has become more confident.C. She has become more energetic.D. She has become more exhausted.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10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。

第I卷（选择题）一、完形填空You never know what nature has prepared for you as a gift. Years ago, when walking alone on a beach in remote southwest Florida, I was so 1 to hear splashes（水溅声）coming from the water. As I walked in the 2 of the sounds, I saw a manatee(海牛)show its head out of the water, 3 a great snuffling(带鼻音的)breath. It seemed that it was in 4 and trying to get out of it.I’d never seen a 5 like this before. I wanted to ask for help, but there was no one 6 . So I went into the shallow water and went toward the animal. I came 7 enough to make out the manatee. Then, a second manatee, much smaller, appeared beside it. 8 , the other manatees were also moving toward me. Soon Iwas 9 by several manatees. I could clearly see the larger manatee 10 the little one up with her flipper(鳍状肢)and pushed it to the surface beside me.As the two slipped underwater, two other manatees moved up from behind, one on either side, 11 gently against my body as they swam past. They circled and 12 the action, this time 13 by the mother and her baby.I held my hand out touching their back as they passed me. Since they obviously enjoyed touching me, I began 14 each of them as they swam by.I stood there enjoying the scene, 15 to move, until finally the rising tide 16 me back to the shore. Later I knew exactly what took place that morning. The manatees involved me in their celebration of a birth and I was welcome to meetthe 17 member of their family.During that unexpected scene, I felt more involved in the rhythms of 18 on our earth than ever. Each year, I head for that 19 for a quiet little birthday picnic on the shore. After all, you never know who might 20 up for your party.1．A．frustratedB．surprised C．embarrassed D．disappointed2．A．direction B．condition C．middle D．side3．A．making out B．putting out C．coming out D．letting out4．A．force B．trouble C．loss D．action5．A．look B．feel C．scene D．smell6．A．in hand B．in sight C．in the way D．in the distance7．A．close B．soon C．quick D．straight8．A．Luckily B．Personally C．Unexpectedly D．Sadly9．A．watched B．surrounded C．attacked D．separated10．A．turn B．eat C．throw D．hold11．A．rubbing B．preventing C．surfing D．comforting12．A．practiced B．changed C．repeated D．showed13．A．seen B．followed C．taught D．ordered14．A．moving B．hitting C．catching D．touching15．A．unwilling B．ready C．unable D．afraid16．A．invited B．forbade C．forced D．helped17．A．best B．oldest C．toughest D．newest18．A．life B．music C．world D．development19．A．boat B．hill C．beach D．manatee20．A．build B．show C．look D．step二、阅读理解Lovell Camps Kids’ Club in SwitzerlandLovell Camps Kids’ Club is an English language Montessori（蒙台梭利）style club.

I’m 105, but I feel younger. Even the doctor agrees I’m in good condition. I’m a bit deaf and my legs feel weak, but they are the only issue.I rode the Twistosaurus at Flamingo Land, which spins you round quite fast. I didn’t choose to go on that. I’d have preferred a really fast one that went upside down. But I was told I couldn’t ride something like that, because my blood pressure could drop and I might have some danger.I was n’t nervous —I don’t get frightened of anything. I was securely fastened, so I knew I wouldn’t fall out. The roller-coaster ride went on for three or four minutes, and it couldn’t be a better experience. And I raised a lot of money for the Derbyshire, Leicestershire & Rutland Air Ambulance fund, which was fantastic.People were saying I’d got a place in the Guinness World Records. Later, someo ne came to present me with the certificate. I had it on the wall in my living room, with another one that got a year earlier.My record-breaking ways really began a couple of years ago, with the ice-bucket challenge. It turned out that I was probably the oldest person in the world to do it, and the video was very popular. After that, I stared to think about what else I could do to raise money for different charities.I’m not sure if anyone admires all the fun I’m having. They just say I’m daft and that’s about it. But I’ve had many good days and many exciting times. I’ve had a really good life. I don’t think I’ve wasted any of it.24．Why didn’t the author choose to go on riding the Twistosaurus?A．Because he was in a bad physical condition.B．Because he was told not to do so.C．Because he considered it too gentle.D．Because he thought it spun too fast.25．How did the author most probably react while riding the roller-coaster?A．He really enjoyed himself.B．He was very worried at first.C．He couldn’t think muc h about it.D．He got frightened as it started moving.26．What do you know about the author from Paragraph 4?A．He was the oldest person in the world.B．He set a record the year before last year.C．He disliked showing off his success.D．He was eager to get certificates.27．What does the underlined word “daft” in the last paragraph probably mean?A．healthy. B．strong.C．crazy. D．funny.Abraham Lincoln, a self-taught lawyer, was elected 16th president of the United States in November 1860, shortly before the outbreak of the Civil War. Lincoln proved to be a smart military strategist and a competent leader: His Emancipation Proclamation(解放宣言) paved the way for slavery’s abolition, while his Gettysburg Address stands as one of the most famous speeches in American history. In April 1865, with the Union on the brink of victory, Abraham Lincoln was killed; his untimely death made him a hero to the cause of liberty, and he is widely regarded as one of the greatest presidents in U.S. history.On January 20, 1981, Reagan took office. Only 69 days later he was shot by a would-be killer, but quickly recoveredand returned to duty. His grace and wit during the dangerous incident caused his popularity to soar.At the end of his two terms in office, Ronald Reagan viewed with satisfaction the achievements of his innovativeprogram known as the Reagan Revolution, which aimed to motivate the American people and reduce their reliance uponGovernment. He felt he had fulfilled his campaign pledge of 1980 to restore “the grea t, confident roar of American progressand growth and optimism.”When George W. Bush, at the age of 54, became the 43rd president of the United States, it was only the second timein American history that a president’s son went on to the White House. Joh n Quincy Adams, elected the sixth president in1824, was the son of John Adams, the second president. While John Adams had brought up his son to be president, GeorgeBush, the 41st president, insisted he was surprised when the eldest of his six children became interested in politics, becamegovernor of Texas, and then went on to the White House.Barack Obama served as the 44th President of the United States. His story is the American story — values from theheartland, a middle-class upbringing in a strong family, hard work and education as the means of getting ahead, and thebelief that a life so blessed should be lived in service to others. With a father from Kenya and a mother from Kansas, President Obama was born in Hawaii on August 4, 1961. He was rais ed with help from his grandfather, who served in Patton’s army, and his grandmother, who worked her way up from the secretarial pool to middle management at a bank. 28．Of the four presidents, who is regarded as an excellent public speaker? A ．Abraham Lincoln. B ．Ronald Reagan. C ．George W. Bush. D ．Barack Obama. 29．When Donald Reagan left the White House, he felt that . A ．he regretted having been elected President B ．he still had much to do for the country C ．he had kept his promise to the people D ．he was becoming more popular with the people 30．Which of the following presidents took office first? A ．George W. Bush. B ．John Adams. C ．John Quincy Adams. D ．George Bush. 31．Of the four presidents, who successfully realized his American Dream? A ．Abraham Lincoln. B ．Ronald Reagan. C ．George W. Bush. D ．Barack Obama. Boomerang children who return to live with their parents after university can be good for families, leading tocloser, more supportive relationships and increased contact between the generations, a study has found.The findings contradict research published earlier this year showing that returning adult children trigger a significant decline in their parents’ quality of life and wellbeing.The young adults taking part in the study were “more positive than might have been expected” about moving back home – the shame is reduced as so many of their peers are in the same position, and they acknowledged the benefits of their parents’ financial and emotional support. Daughters were happier than sons, often slipping back easily into teenage patterns of behaviour, the study found.Parents on the whole were more uncertain, expressing concern about the likely duration of the arrangement and how to manage it. But they acknowledged that things were different for graduates today, who leave university with huge debts and fewer job opportunities.The families featured in the study were middle-class and tended to view the achievement of adult independence for their children as a “family project”. Parents accepted that their chi ldren required support as university students and then as graduates returning home, as they tried to find jobs paying enough to enable them to move out and get on the housing ladder.“However,” the study says, “day-to-day tensions about the prospects of achieving different dimensions of independence, which in a few extreme cases came close to conflict, characterised the experience of a majority of parents and a little over half the graduates”.Areas of disagreement included chores, money and social life. While parents were keen to help, they also wanted different relationships from those they had with their own parents, and continuing to support their adult children allowed them to remain close.32．What is the finding of the previous research?A．Boomerang children made their parents happier.B．The parents were looking forward to their children’s return.C．The parents’ quality of life became worse than before.D．Boomerang children never did any housework.33．The underlined word “trigger” in Paragraph 2 may be best replaced by .A．causeB．defeatC．ariseD．allow34．What is the attitude of the college graduates towards returning home?A．They are ashamed of turning to their parents for help.B．They are glad that they could come back.C．They are doubtful about whether they should return.D．They are proud to be independent from the family.35．What can be inferred as the reason for the “boomerang children” phenomenon?A．The children want to keep in closer touch with their parents.B．The parents are willing to provide support to their children.C．It is harder for the children to secure a satisfying job.D．There is more house work needed to be done by the children.三、七选五Food feeds the soul. To the extent that we all eat food, and we all have souls, food is the single great united across cultures. With food, there are more opportunities to connect to memory and family and place. 36．Food as identity. French, Mexican, Chinese, and Italian cuisines each involve dozens of distinct regional foods. Every single culture and religion uses food as part of their celebrations.37．Every season, every harvest, and every holiday has its own food, and this is true in America as well.38．Sometimes food means living on. W hile the Chinese cooks who exported “Chinese” food around the w orld ate authentic cooking at home, the dishes they served, thus creating new cuisines entirely, were based on economic necessity.Food as pleasure. Things have changed dramatically in the past 20 years when it comes to food in France. Some of the ideas of French food life may be a performance. France is this pastoral nation where people are spending five hours a day going to 12 different markets to get their food. 39．Food as status. The introduction of global foods and brands has compounded food as a status symbol for some Chinese. 40．In China, people eat food not necessarily for taste, but for texture. You can find food from all of the provinces of China in Shanghai, as well as every kind of global food style imaginable.A．Food as survival.B.Food as community.C.It’s the hardest to give up.D．The celebratory nature of food is universal.E.It is an accumulation, a function of your experiencesF.How and why you eat your food, is, of course, also very cultural.G. But food in Italy is love, then nutrition, then history, then pleasure.第II卷（非选择题）四、语法填空阅读下列材料，在空白处填入适当的内容（一个单词）或括号内单词的正确形式．For those who love travel，particularly rail travel，China in 1987 was a can't﹣miss kind of place．In1987，China was still operating steam trains on some rail routes，41．made people from many countries amazed．Bruce Connolly，a photographer from Scotland，42．（be）one of them．Connolly first came to China in 1987，43．（start）his continuous travelling throughout China．Since then，he 44．（travel）to most parts of China except Fujian，Zhejiang and Jiangxi．Wherever he went，his camera remained by his side．During his journeys in China，Connolly found China very different from 45．he saw in photographs，which showed Chinese people very religious in the way they dressed and behaved．46．，what he saw was that people were 47．（friend），welcoming and wore bright clothes．In the early years of his journey，most Chinese people were fascinated with foreigners visiting China，but now that has changed in cities such as Beijing and Shanghai，foreigners are no longer48．（curious）．Another dramatic change that Connolly has felt in China is 49．．widespread use of new technology．China has become one of the most tech﹣savvy（懂技术的）societies．People now do everything with50．（they）smartphones，and use of cash is almost disappearing．五、提纲类作文51．假定你是李华，你校摄影俱乐部（photography club）将举办国际中学摄影展。

Meanings of words do not usually stay the same．B. Meanings of words always stay the same．C. Meanings of words change very often．D. The changes in the meanings of words are caused by people who compile dictionaries．17.What did "bad" mean in the past？______A. It meant "steal"．B. It meant "not good"．C. It meant someone who was evil．D. It meant "bother"．18.What did "meat" mean in the past？______A. It meant "any kind food"．B. It meant "body fat" on a person．C. It meant "all kind of meat"．D. It meant "one kind of meat"．19.What did "deer" mean in the past？______A. It meant "one particular kind of animal"．B. It meant "any kind of animal"．C. It meant "all kind of deer"．D. It meant "one kind of deer"．BInvention of Roller Skating Today，roller skating is easy and fun．But a long time ago，it wasn't easy at all．Before 1750，the idea of skating didn't exist．That changed because of a man named Joseph Merlin．Merlin's work was making musical instruments．In his spare time he liked to play the violin．Joseph Merlin was a man of ideas and dreams．People called him a dreamer．One day Merlin received an invitation to attend a fancy dress ball （化装舞会）．He was very pleased and a little excited．As the day of the party came near，Merlin began to think how to make a grand entrance at the party．He had an idea．He thought he would get a lot of attention if he could skate into the room．Merlin tried different ways to make himself roll．Finally，he decided to put two wheels under each shoe．These were the first roller skates．Merlin was very proud of his invention and dreamed of arriving at the party on wheels while playing the violin．On the night of the party Merlin rolled into the room playing his violin．Everyone was astonished to see him．There was just one problem．Merlin had no way to stop his roller skates．He rolled on and on．Suddenly，he ran into a huge mirror that was hanging on the wall．Down fell the mirror，breaking to pieces．Nobody forgot Merlin's grand entrance fora long time．20.Which of the following can help people WALK faster？______A. Using roller skates．B. Taking planes．C. Riding in cars．D. Riding bicycles．21.How did Joseph make himself roll？______A. He put one wheel under each shoe．B. He put two wheels under each shoe．C. He used a special kind of shoes．D. He did ice-skating．22.Merlin put wheels under his shoes in order to ______ ．A. impress the party guestsB. arrive at the party soonerC. test his inventionD. show his skill in walking on wheelsCDeadly Seafood When someone who is in good health dies suddenly，there is usually an inquest （死因调查）in western countries．The coroner （验尸官）does this kind of work．His job is to find out exactly how a person died．If there is nothing wrong with the death，he will decide that the person died from natural causes or an accident．If，however，he is suspicious，he may decide that a person or persons unknown caused the person's death．At one inquest，the coroner was trying to find out exactly what had caused the death of a businessman，Henry Smith．The man's wife was giving her evidence （证据）．She was very sad and had to stop from time to time．The coroner did not want to make her more unhappy than necessary，but he had to find out the truth．There were questions he had to ask her．"Mrs．Smith，I know this is painful for you，" he said，"but I want you to think very carefully and then answer my questions．You and your husband were having dinner at home．Is that correct？""Yes．""Suddenly he fell to the floor？""Yes．""You stood up and hurried to him？You stood beside him？He was in great pain？" "Yes．""Did he say anything？"The wife lowered her head．"Please，Mrs．Smith，you must answer the question．What were his last words？" The wife breathed and then spoke．"He said，" she whispered，"I'm not surprised you were asked for only 50 cents for that seafood we had for dinner．"23.What needs to be done when a healthy person dies suddenly？______A.

Henry Smith was in great pain when his wife hurried to him．C. Henry Smith died from the seafood he had for dinner．D. His wife immediately took Henry to hospital．DWhen John and Victoria Church arrived in New York from London for one-year stay，they brought no furniture with them．They had planned either to live in a furnished apartment or to buy used furniture．But they soon learned about a new way of furnishing an apartment or a house that more and more people are using．The renting of home furnishing （furniture，dishes，and so on）has become one of America's fastest growing businesses．Why do people rent their home furnishings instead of buying them？Many kinds of people：international businessmen，government officials，airline workers，young married couples…the people whose job or business may force them to move frequently from one city （or country）to another…find they can rent better quality furniture than they could afford to buy．Young people with little money do not want to buy cheap furniture that they will soon grow to dislike．They prefer to wait until they have enough money to buy furniture they really like．Meanwhile，they rent．And people whose work takes them from place to place are saved the trouble and cost of moving their furniture each time．They simply rent new furniture when they reach their new home．One family，now settled in a large，beautiful home，liked their rented furniture so much they decided to keep renting it instead of buying new things．But they don't like to tell people about it．The idea of renting home furnishings is still quite new，and they are not sure what their neighbors might think．27.The reason why people rent their home furnishings instead of buying them is that______ ．A. they have to move frequently from one place to another because of their work．B. young people are not rich enough to buy furniture they really like．C. they can save the trouble and cost of moving their furniture．D. all of the above．28.Where do John and Victoria Church come from？______A.

A，B and C三、阅读七选五（本大题共5小题，共10.0分）Why Do We Get Angry?Anger seems simple when we are feeling it, but the causes of anger are various. Knowing these causes can make us examine our behavior, and correct bad habits. The main reasons we get angry are triggering（触发）events, personality traits（特征）, and our assessment of situations.(1)Triggering events for anger are so many that to describe them all would take hundreds of pages. However, here are some examples: being cut off in traffic, a deadline approaching, experiencing physical pain, and much more. (2) The reason why someone is triggered by something and others are not is often due to one's personal history and psychological traits.Each person, no matter who they are, has psychological imbalances. People who have personality traits that connect with competitiveness and low upset tolerance are much more likely to get angry. (3) Also, sometimes pre-anger does not have to do with a lasting condition, but rather a temporary state before a triggering event has occurred.(4) Sometimes even routine occurrences become sources of pre-anger, or anger itself. Sometimes ignorance and negative (消极的) outlooks on situations can create anger.(5) However, anger can easily turn violent, and it is best to know the reasons for anger to appear in order to prevent its presence. With these main reasons in mind, we can evaluate our level of anger throughout the day and prevent cases of outbursts by comprehending the reasons for our feelings.A. Our attitude and viewpoint on situations can create anger within us as well.B. But some types of situations can help us to get rid of the occurrence of anger.C. Anger is rarely looked upon as a beneficial character trait, and is usually advised to reduce it.D. Anger is a particularly strong feeling and maybe people think that they have reasons to feel angry.E. Having these personality traits implies the pre-anger state, where anger is in the background of your mind.F. Understanding these reasons will control our own anger if we are willing to evaluate ourselves with a critical eye.G. Not everyone acts the same in response to events, and that is why what triggers one person may or may not trigger another.31. A. A B. B C. C D. D E.E F.F G. G32. A. A B. B C. C D. D E.E F.F G. G33.

答案：B考查现在进行时．A是现在完成时，表示从过去某个时间点开始的动作，一直持续到现在；C是一般将来时，表示将要发生的动作；D是过去将来时，表示从过去的某一时间来看将来要发生的动作或存在的状态；根据what's thematter？the shoesdon't fit properly，可知此处表示正在发生的动作应用现在进行时，故选B．-怎么了？-鞋子不太合适，他们在伤我的脚．本题考查现在进行时，做题时，要根据四个选项时态的特点，结合句子动作发生的时间，选择正确的时态．2. 答案是C．本题考查宾语从句中的引导词；when何时；whether 是否；how如何；why 为什么；根据答句中的"By bicycle"可知对方询问方式，故答案是C．--我不能确切地知道这一次她如何来．--当然是骑自行车．名词性从句考查的关键是连接词的选用和语序，因此，我们首先要搞清从句的性质，掌握各连接词的用法，在此基础上判断．此外，关注名词性从句用陈述语序．3. 答案：A解析：A：与第一人称连用时表示提建议或者请求；B：需要；C：想要；愿意；D：应该．根据句意"--我感觉冷，我可以关上窗户吗？--当然可以，去吧！"及所给选项分析可知，本题答案为A选项；其余选项均不符合题意．--我感觉冷，我可以关上窗户吗？--当然可以，去吧！本题考查情态动词的辨析，做此类题目时一定要先弄清楚各个选项的含义及用法；再结合句意及其它要求确定最终答案．4. 答案是C．本题考查动词不定式；根据语境，克里斯母亲节给妈妈送感谢信的"目的"是为了表达对妈妈的爱，题干中需要的是动词不定式表示目的，故选：C．为了表达爱，克里斯在母亲节这一天给妈妈送了感谢信．首先判断选项中的动词在句中是以谓语还是非谓语形式出现，然后根据选项在句中的功能结合非谓语的基本用法做出合理的判断．5. 答案是B．本题考查一般过去时的被动语态；题干中April 1，2017为过去的时间状语，必须与过去时连用；plan与announce之间是被动关系，故用一般过去时的被动语态，答案是B．雄安新区的计划于2017年4月1日正式宣布．对时态的选择，要在把握时态的基本用法的基础上，根据具体语境和题干中的时间推断时态，同时关注特殊的结构．6. 案是B．本题考查主语从句中的引导词；whatever pron．/adj．无论什么；whoever pron．无论谁，任何人；whenever adv．无论何时；wherever adv．无论哪里；题干中第二个is前的主语从句"______ is willing to volunteer in the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics"中缺少的主语，表示"任何人"，故答案是B．故选：B．欢迎任何愿意在2022年北京冬季奥运会上做志愿者的人加入到我们中来．名词性从句考查的关键是连接词的选用和语序，因此，我们首先要搞清从句的性质，掌握各连接词的用法，在此基础上判断．此外，关注名词性从句用陈述语序．7. 考查过去将来时．主句用一般过去时，从句用过去将来时，表示从过去某一时间看将要发生的动作，用过去将来时．故选D项．A项：现在完成时；B项：一般现在时；C 项：一般过去时．故选：D．刚刚一个小时之前，他打电话告诉我说下班后就回家．解答此类问题要了解各种时态的基本含义，并区别各种时态之间的差异，了解某些时态的特殊用法，然后结合语境选择正确答案．8. 考查非限制性定语从句．分析句子结构可知这是一个定语从句，先行词environment 在从句中作地点状语，用关系副词where．故选C项．其它三项不符合语境．故选：C．我们确实重视我们的学习环境，在那里我们能进行直接的交流．考查定语从句，要搞清楚句子成分，找出从句的先行词及从句与先行词之间的逻辑关系，把主句与从句分别翻译出来，然后依照逻辑关系把句子衔接起来．引导定语从句的关系代词有who，whom，whose，which，that等和关系副词where，when ，why等，关系代词和关系副词在定语从句中担任句子成分．如果该从句中缺少主语、表语、宾语或定语，就要用关系代词来连接从句；如果从句中缺少状语，就得用关系副词来连接从句．9. 考查动名词．分析可知"______ the difference between the two findings"在句中做主语，而过去分词（v-ed）和现在分词的完成时（having done）不能够在句中做主语，可排除A和D．动名词作主语时，通常用以表示一件已知的事或经验．不定式短语通常用来表示一件未完成的事或目的．句意：忽略这两个发现之间的差异是你犯过的最严重的错误之一．故选：B．忽略这两个发现之间的差异是你犯过的最严重的错误之一．不定式和动名词作主语的区别：（1）动名词作主语通常表示抽象动作；而不定式作主语表示具体动作．Smoking is prohibited here．这里禁止抽烟．（抽象）It is not very good for you to smoke so much．你抽这么多烟对你身体很不好．（具体）（2）动名词作主语时，通常用以表示一件已知的事或经验．不定式短语通常用来表示一件未完成的事或目的．Climbing mountains is interesting．爬山很有趣．（经验）Driving a car during the rush hour is tiring．在高峰时刻开车令人厌烦．（经验）To finish the task will take a long time．要完成这项任务将要花费很长时间．（具体）（3）不定式做主语，一般用it当形式主语，把作主语的不定式短语后置．It took me only five minutes to finish the job．（4）动名词做主语往往表示普通的，一般的行为；不定式作主语常常表示某次具体的行为．Collecting information about children's health is his job．收集有关儿童健康的信息是他的工作．It's necessary to discuss the problem with an experienced teacher．与一位有经验的老师讨论这个问题是有必要的．常用不定式做主语的句型有：（1）It's difficult （important，necessary）for sb．to do（2）It's kind （good，friendly，polite，careless，rude，cruel，clever，foolish，brave）of sb．to do．常用动名词做主语的句型有：It's no good （use，fun）doing．It's （a）waste of time one's doing．10. 答案：A，考查谓语动词的时态，由后一句"回来真好"，说明是"以前住在这"，因此时态用一般过去时，B选项是过去完成时表过去某一时间之前已经发生的动作，C选项是现在完成时表过去的动作或状态持续到现在并且已经完成完成，D选项是一般现在时，均不符合题意．故选：A．--你似乎对这座城市很熟悉．--我住在这三年了．回来真好．考查谓语动词的时态，要注意区分句子动作发生的时间．11. 本题考查主语从句．whoever引导主语从句，相当于anyone who凡是…的人；whereever无论哪里；whenever无论何时；whatever无论什么，都不符合句意．故选：D．--用手机付地铁的费用真是很方便．--是的，想出这个想法的人真的很棒．本题考查名词性从句，首先判断属于哪种名词性从句，再判断从句缺少什么成分，如果缺少主宾表，用what，不缺少成分和意思用that，缺少疑问词根据句意判断．12. 考查过去完成时．根据句意，prepare发生在过去动作found之前，即"过去的过去"，要用过去完成时态．故选A项．B项：现在进行时；C项：现在完成时；D项：过去将来时．故选：A．一回到家，莉莉发现她的丈夫准备了一个美好的烛光晚餐．解答此类问题要了解各种时态的基本含义，并区别各种时态之间的差异，了解某些时态的特殊用法，然后结合语境选择正确答案．13. 考查过去分词．bridge与build之间是动宾关系，用"when+过去分词"结构作状语．故选A项．其它三项不符合语境．故选：A．当新桥建成时，将把两城之间的旅行时间从两小时减少到30分钟．非谓语动词作状语．它的逻辑主语就是句子的主语．因此关键看它和句子主语之间的关系．如果是和句子主语之间构成主动关系，使用现在分词，若构成被动关系，使用过去分词．若表目的，使用不定式．14. 考查虚拟语气．句意：要不是有好心的向导，我们在山里迷路了．根据if引导的条件状语从句用的是过去完成时可以判断本句是一个过去事实相反的虚拟语气，所以主句用情态动词+have done结构．故选：C．要不是有好心的向导，我们在山里迷路了．虚拟语气在高考命题中不是重点，但是难点．考点常集中在含蓄条件句以及主语、宾语从句等特定句型中虚拟语气的使用上，因此考生应熟练掌握含蓄条件句中主从句的时态要求以及一些典型句型中虚拟语气的具体形式．15. 考查一般现在时．根据句意，谈论的是现在的情况，要用一般现在时态．故选D项．A 项：一般过去时；B项：过去完成时；C项：一般将来时．故选：D．--当我们到达电影院时，票可能卖光了．--不要担心．我告诉过简我们可能迟到，她会为我们买票的．解答此类问题要了解各种时态的基本含义，并区别各种时态之间的差异，了解某些时态的特殊用法，然后结合语境选择正确答案．16~19. （1）---（4）ACAB（1）．A．细节理解题．根据文章开始第一段第一句Meanings of words do not usually stay the same可知，词义并不是一成不变的．故选A．（2）．C．细节理解题．根据文章第一段第三句For example "bad"，in relation to a person，used to mean someone was evil （邪恶的）可知，bad过去指的是邪恶之人．故选C．（3）．A．细节理解题．根据文章第一段第五句"Meat" used to mean any kind of food可知，meat过去是指"任何一种食品"，故选A．（4）．B．细节理解题．根据文章第二段第四句for example，"deer"．It used to mean "any kind of animal"可知，deer过去是指"一种动物"，故选B．本文是一篇社会文化类阅读，介绍了词汇的演变方面的现象．英语阅读理解的步骤：第一遍：阅读的第一遍是非常重要的．这一遍讲究的是速度与技巧．先用最快的时间将题迅速扫一遍，了解你需要回答什么，做到一会儿阅读时心中有数．这个时候你就可以胸有成竹地进行第一遍阅读．在第一遍阅读时不要求精，只要求速度．同时在这一遍中，关于文章的主旨等宏观方面的问题就可以解决了．第二遍：这一遍是文章的精读过程，一般采用随看随做的方法，也就是说，每当你阅读完一段内容，就可以到下面去看看有没有与之相关的问题，同时趁着对该段文章的熟悉去做题．如此下去，在你精读完之后，题也就做完了．第三遍：这一遍一般放在最后的检查时阅读，一般以你的时间是否充足来决定．检查一般要注意文章的细节，不要因为疏忽出错．20~22.

2019-2020学年北京大学附属中学高三英语第一次联考试题及答案解析第一部分阅读（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项AThe Fall 2020 Cookbooks Worth Your Time (and Money)Be My GuestFrom Priya Basil, this book is a self-reflection on how food and the act of serving it are used to express love and support. Basil reflects on some of her earliest memories of food and how it affected her upbringing and relationship with her parents. Now a parent herself, she centers food in her book's exploration of that change of identity.EastFrom Guardian columnist Meera Sodha comes a cookbook centered on vegetables. The book features recipes that cover a variety of Asian cuisines. Sodha showcases the diversity of vegetarian cooking with dishes like eggplant larb mushroom bao, Singapore noodles and so much more.I Cook in ColorA follow-up from her first cookbook My Two Souths, Asha Gomez focuses on the rainbow of vegetables to create desserts and cross-cultural dishes that associate cooking traditions of her mother's Keralite kitchen and Gomez's travel experiences.Time to EatIf you're a fan of The Great British Baking Show and Nadiya Hussain's Netflix series, you'll be just as excited for the American release of this book of time-saving tips for home cooks on a budget. It's a book to go to for inspiration that doesn't involve countless hours of sweating over a hot stove.1.What can we learn about the author ofBe My Guest?A.She had a bad relationship with her parents.B.She began to cook food in her early childhood.C.She considers food a means of expressing affection.D.She explores in the book how to be a grandparent.2.What do theEastandI Cook in Colorhave in common?A.They offer recipes about Asian cuisines.B.They center on cooking vegetables.C.They are the author's first cookbooks.D.They are based on the author's travel experiences.3.Which book can you refer toif you just have limited time for cooking?A.Be My Guest.B.East.C.I Cook in Color.D.Time to Eat.BBritish anthropologists (人类学家) Russell Hill and Robert Barton of the University of Durham, after studying the results of one-on-one boxing, tae kwon do, Greco-Roman wrestling and freestyle wrestling matches at the Olympic Games, conclude that when two competitors are equally matched in fitness and skill, the athlete wearing red is more likely to win.Hill and Barton report that when one competitor is much better than the other, colour has no effect on the result. However, when there is only a small difference between them, the effect of colour is enoughtipthe balance. The anthropologists say that the number of times red wins is not simply by chance, but that these results are statistically significant.Joanna Setchell, a primate (灵长目动物) researcher at the University of Cambridge, has found similar results in nature. She studies the large African monkeys known as mandrills. Mandrills have bright red noses that stand out against their white faces. Setchell’s work shows that the powerful males — the ones who are more successful with females — have a brighter red nose than other males.As well as the studies on primates by Setchell, another study shows the effect of red among birds. In an experiment, scientists put red plastic rings on the legs of male zebra finches and this increased the birds’ success with female zebra finches, Zebra finches already have bright red beaks (鸟喙), so this study suggests that, as with Olympic athletes, an extra flash of red is significant. In fact, researchers from theUniversityofGlasgowsay that the birds’ brightly coloured beaks are an indicator of health. Jonathan Blount, a biologist, andhis colleagues think they have found proof that bright red or orange beaks attract females because they mean that the males are healthier. Nothing in nature is simple, however, because in species such as the blue footed booby, a completely different colour seems to give the male birds the same advantage with females.Meanwhile, what about those athletes who win in their events while wearing red? Do their clothes give them an unintentional advantage? Robert Barton accepts that “that is the implication” of their findings. Is it time for sports authorities to consider new regulations on sports clothing?4. According to their research. Hill and Barton conclude that ________.A. the colour of clothing has an effect on most sport eventsB. red should be the choice of colour for clothing in sportsC. red plays a role when competitors are equally capableD. athletes perform better when surrounded by bright red5. The underlined word “tip” in Paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to ________.A. achieveB. advanceC. keepD. change6. The example of the blue footed booby proves that ________.A. male birds use different body parts to draw attentionB. red is not the only colour to attract female birdsC. blue gives female birds the same advantageD. blue can indicate how healthy a bird is7. What can be inferred from the passage?A. The colour red gives male animals the most advantage.B. Male zebra finches prefer to have red plastic rings on their legs.C. Rules on sports clothing are going to be changed.D. Athletes wearing red may have an advantage over their opponents.CYu Chenrui, 29, is a maker of automata (机关人偶) in Chengdu, Sichuan province. Automata are built to look like humans or animals and give the illusion (错觉) of being able to move ontheir own, “The art form amazes me, because it combines various skills, from storytelling to mechanics, and the pieces are built with a sense of humor,” Yu says. His creations have caught the attention of well-known artists and his fancy pieces of art have attracted collectors worldwide.Interested in handcrafts as a boy, Yu first encountered automata designed by Japanese artist Kazuaki at an exhibition in 2015 when he studied at the Communication University of China in Beijing. “It was like meeting a like-minded friend, ” Yu says, recalling the moment. As an art and design major, he began to learn the craft by himself and, with the support of his tutor, he kept studying and examining automata in school.When he graduated in 2016, Yu landed a job at an advertising agency in Beijing. He stayed on at the company for three years because, at that time, he was not sure that he could make a living out of his hobby. While working as a designer Yu kept exploring and advancing his skills in wood carving and mechanics. Eventually, despite the job’s good salary, it was not enough to make up for not following his true passion. Finally, in 2018, Yu quit his job and returned to Chengdu to open his automata workshop.To keep himself occupied while running his workshop, he planted blueberries, raspberries and cherries. He watered, weeded and added fertilizer (肥料) every day. “Daily routines helped me calm down and inspire my creativity, which resulted in an automaton called To Observe the Autumn,” Yu says.Over time, Yu’s reputation grew and his business flourished (兴旺). Many of Yu’s creations are built with a dash of wisdom, a sprinkle of humor and are inspired by observations of real life. Yu knows that there are many more creative ideas waiting to be expressed. “It feels quite good to be fully devoted to automata creation and I am still searching for myself.”8. What can we learn from the first paragraph?A. Yu is equipped with various skills.B. Yu is a person full of sense of humor.C Yu is now gaining recognition worldwide.D. Yu is following the latest trend in handcraft.9. Why did Yu quit his job in Beijing?A. He couldn't make a living out of it.B. He wanted to pursue his own dream.C. He missed his family in Chengdu.D. He thought he had a lot experience.10. According to Yu, what contributes to his creativity as an automata artist?A. The fruits he grows.B. Success of his business.C. His devotion to the job.D. Observation from daily life.11. Which of the following can best describe Yu’s story?A. There is no end to learning.B. Great hopes make great man.C. Actions speak louder than words.D. Experience is the mother of wisdom.DOne of the greatest challenges in caring for such intelligent animals as chimpanzees(猩猩)is providing themwith enriching experiences. Every day, the chimpanzees at Project Chimps receive morning and evening food-based enrichment devices, but caregivers are always looking for more ways to keep the chimps mentally engaged. With 79 chimpanzees, each with their distinctive personality, care staff often find that different chimps react differently to new enrichment.Last year, we began inviting musicians to perform for chimps to see what they may respond. A violin performance received quite the response. Additional musicians were lined up to visit but the coronavirus has stopped the activities, which we hope toresumein the near future.This past week, we brought an electric piano for the chimps to investigate. Some chimps, like twins Buttercup and Clarisse, were immediately interested and could not wait to tap out a few notes. Others, like Emma, were more interested in trying to take it apart.29- year-old Precious has very little tolerance for the piano. She sat off to the side for a few minutes, but eventually she decided that was enough. She called an end to the enrichment session by throwing a handful of waste at the piano. Receiving her message loud and clear, we removed the piano.We could never have guessed how 33-year-old Luke would react to it. As with many retired lab chimpanzees Luke has some anxiety issues. He seems particularly distrustful of anything new, including people, food, and enrichment. But when we presented the chimps with the piano, Luke was the first to investigate. We could not believe our eyes — this usually anxious chimpanzee bravely chose to explore something new!To us at Project Chimps, this is what it is all about: giving chimpanzees the freedom to choose. We are honored to be part of their journey.12. Why do chimpanzees respond differently to new enrichment?A. They are of different genders.B. They have natural curiosities.C They are as intelligent as humans. D. They have their unique characters.13. What does the underlined word “resume” in Paragraph 2 mean?A. Continue.B. Suspend.C. Monitor.D. Regulate.14. Who showed the least interest in the piano?A. Buttercup and Clarisse.B. Emma.C. Precious.D. Luke.15. What is the text mainly about?A. How caregivers care for the retired chimpanzees.B. What care staff do to enrich chimpanzees' daily life.C. How chimpanzees are trained through various enrichment.D. What Project Chimps does to observe and study wild chimps.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10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。

Theself-made billionaire said he felt stupid for not knowing any foreign languages.Speaking in his third Ask Me Anything question-and-answer session for online forum Reddit （红迪网）, the Microsoft founder said that he wished he spoke French,Arabic or Chinese.He said: "I took Latin and Greek in high school and got A's and I guess it helps my vocabulary. I keep hoping to get time to study one of these—probably French because it is the easiest. I did Duolingo for a while but didn't keep it up."Gates, who is worth ＄79.3 billion, praised Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg for surprising an audience in Beijing when he spoke fluent Chinese. "Mark Zuckerberg amazingly learned Chinese and did a Q&A with Chinese students—unbelievable, isn't it?" he saidThis isn't the first time for Gates to admit his regret over language. He also showed his habits at home and personal insights.Last February, Gates said he likes to do the dishes himself—to his own special standards every night and also told the interviewer that his wife, Melinda, would likely want Samuel L. Jackson to play her husband in a biopic（传记片）.He also admitted that he would pick up a ＄100 bill if he found it on the street.As he took the top spot on Forbes（福布斯）28th Annual Billionaires list last year for the fourth time, he said he is pretty basic when it comes to spending on clothes and food , but that he enjoys investing in shoes and racquets（球拍）when he plays tennis.When asked a life lesson he had to learn the hard way, the billionaire said staying up too late is a habit he is still trying to break.

Simultaneously, important looking envelopes containing cards with the same message were hand-delivered to the offices of all the major news companies.One found its way to the desk of Chris Lin, a business reporter at The Post. The card was beautifully designed—a black background with the words printed out in crisp white letters. There was no explanation on the back, just a website address.Chris went to the website. Its style was identical to the card's and said: "Anytime: Starting Tomorrow."The next day websites and blogs were filled with articles theorising about Anytime.Was it a shopping website like Tao Bao or Amazon? A joke? Something illegal?Anytime's marketing had worked—it was a household name before it'd even made a single sale.A.B.C.D.（1）A.B.C.D.（2）When the opening came, that day at noon, the Anytime website suddenly had a single field that read, "What do you want? " All you had to do was type the words into that box, and then specify how quickly you wanted your item delivered: within one, ten,or twenty-four hours.Bloggers were the first to test the service. And their reviews were glowing. Within weeks, Anytime had become a part of daily life. Nobody used other delivery sites or the post anymore as Anytime was much cheaper and faster.Chris still wondered what exactly Anytime was. He tried to find out who owned the company, but it was registered in a small country that did not require such information to be made public. He did find some interesting facts, though. Anyone who challenged the company, it seemed, met with serious trouble. A government official critical of Anytime for avoiding tax was forced to leave his position after news stories suddenly appeared claiming he was dishonest. The head of another company taking Anytime to court died in a car accident just days before the case was to begin.Chris began making a list of all the people who had something terrible happen to them after opposing or criticising Anytime. By lunch, he had more than one hundred examples. Something was definitely wrong. Chris worked on his list the rest of the day,emailing people who could provide more information and looking through newspaper records. After working through the night, an exhausted Chris finally fell asleep at his desk at 4 a.m..When he woke a few hours later, there was a message flashing on his computer screen: "Stop making trouble." Chris smiled. He had no intention of stopping now that he knew he was on the right track.What was on the front of the card sent to Chris Lin?An invitation to a company opening.The website address of a new company.The words "Anytime: Starting tomorrow" .The words "Anything you want, anytime you need it" .Why did the company choose to send the cards to many news reporters?Because it didn't have enough money for traditional advertising.Because it wanted to attract the reporters as customers.So the reporters would write stories about the new company.So people would find the new company interesting.A.B.C.D.A.B.C.D.（4）Itmay be very dangerous.Its popularity would soon decrease.It was doing business all over the world.It was being widely criticised by journalists.How did Chris feel at the end of the story?Scared that he would get into trouble.Confident that he would find the truth.Nervous about what the company would do.Satisfied that he had discovered the company's secret.8.Inside a secured room in a beautiful castle near Paris, asmall metal cylinder（圆柱体）rests on a shelf beneath a doubleset of bell jars. It has lain there for more than a century, its restonly occasionally disturbed when the room's three key holdersperform a coordinated opening ceremony to let techniciansenter and clean this precious piece of metal.First, the cylinder is rubbed with a piece of soft, alcohol-soaked cloth. Then it is steamed with pure water. Finally, the 1kg cylinder is returned, carefully, to its resting place.Such attention to a lump of metal is unusual, but has a purpose. The castle houses the International Bureau of Weights and Measures and that piece of shining, circular metal is its holiest relic. It is the defining mass（质量）against which all other kilograms are measured. This is the international prototype, of the kilogram. The IPK, in short.Dozens of carefully weighted copies of the original have been made. They are stored around the world and used to standardize individual nations' weights and measures systems.But the days of the IPK, in its current form, are numbered. The International Bureau of Weights and Measures has decided to replace this single physical specimen with a more fundamental measurement—based on electric current—in order to define the mass of an object. The king of kilograms is about to be dethroned."One key reason for doing this work is to provide international security, " says Bureau spokesman Paul Robinson. "If the castle burned down tomorrow and the kilogram was destroyed, we would have no reference left for the world's metric weightsA.B.C.D.（1）A.rebuilt B.removed C.destroyed D.upgraded（2）A.B.C.D.（3）A.No more kilosB.A heavy technologyC.The future of the kiloD.The history of measures（4）system. There would be chaos. The current definition of the kilogram is the weight of that cylinder in Paris, after all."Another major motivation for the replacement of the IPK is the growing need to be able to carry out more and more precise measurements. "Drug companies will soon be wanting to use ingredients that will have to be measured in terms of a few millionths of even billionths of a gram, " says Robinson. "We need to be prepared to weigh substances with that kind of accuracy."What do we know about the IPK from the first two paragraphs?It's cared for with great devotion.It's used in religious ceremonies.It's beautifully designed and decorated.It's the most valuable metal in the world.Which of the following best explains "dethroned" underlined in paragraph 5?What is a reason for replacing the current IPK?To protect the metal cylinder from damage.To make taking measurements more economical.To provide all countries with the same standard.To satisfy the increasing demand for exactness.What can be a suitable title for the text?四、七选五（共5题，每题2分，共10分）9.Chuck was in my high-school English class. 1 So, when he told me he hadbeen accepted into the journalism program at the University of Missouri, I wasn't surprised.During the first year at college, Chuck stopped by school a few times. We talked about our work together several years before. We had raised money together for twenty-three sick and abandoned babies. 2 .

In that little note, I affirmed his talent as a writer and I encouraged him to be responsible for the gift.5 His taking my note with him forever offered me a great opportunity forinfluencing students lives.

第I 卷（选择题）一、完形填空The measure of a man’s real character is what he would do if he knew he would never befound out.--Thomas Macaulay 。
Some thirty years ago, I was studying in a public school in New York. One day, Mrs. NanetteO’Neillgave an arithmetic 1 to our class. When the papers were 2 ,she discovered thattwelve boys had made the 3 mistakes throughout the test.There is really nothing new about 4 in the exams. Perhaps that was 5 Mrs.O’Neill didn’t evensay a word about it. She only asked the t welve boys to 6 after class. I was oneof the twelve.Mrs. O’Neill asked no questions, and she didn’t 7 us either.She wrote on theblackboard the 8 words by Thomas Macaulay. She then ordered us to 9 these words intoour exercisebooksone hundred times.I don’t 10 about the other eleven boys. Speaking for myself I can say: it was the mostimportantsingle 11 of my life. Thirty years after being introduced to Macaulay’s words, they12 seem to methe best yardstick(准绳), because they give me a 13 to measure myself ratherthan others. 14 of usare asked to make great decisions about 15 going to war or armiesgoing to battle. But all of us arecalled upon daily to make a great many 16 decisions. Shouldthe wallet, found in the street, be putinto a pocket or turned over to the 17 ? Should the 18change received at the store be forgottenor 19 ? Nobody will know except 20 .

The self-made billionaire said he felt stupid for not knowing any foreign languages.Speaking in his third Ask Me Anything question-and-answer session for online forum Reddit(红迪网), the Microsoft founder said that he wished he spoke French, Arabic or Chinese.He said: “I took Latin and Greek in high school and got A’s and I guess it helps my vocabulary. I keep hoping to get time to study one of these—probably French because it is the easiest. I did Duolingo for a while but didn’t keep it up.”Gates, who is worth $79.3 billion, praised Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg for surprising an audience in Beijing when he spoke fluent Chinese. “Mark Zuckerberg amazingly learned Chinese and did a Q&A with Chinese students—unbelievable, isn’t it?” he saidThis isn’t the first time for Gates to admit his regret over language. He also showed his habits at home and personal insights.Last February, Gates said he likes to do the dishes himself—to his own special standards every night and also told the interviewer that his wife, Melinda, would likely want Samuel L. Jackson to play her husband in a biopic(传记片).He also admitted that he would pick up a $100 bill if he found it on the street.As he took the top spot on Forbes(福布斯)28th Annual Billionaires list last year for the fourth time, he said he is pretty basic when it comes to spending on clothes and food, but that he enjoys investing in shoes andracquets(球拍)when he plays tennis.When asked a life lesson he had to learn the hard way, the billionaire said staying up too late is a habit he is still trying to break. “Don’t stay up too late even if the book is really exciting. You will regret it in the morning. Pam still working on this problem.” he said.24．Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?A．An Interview with Bill Gates B．How Bill Gates SucceededC．Bill Gates’ Regret D．The Richest Billionaire25．The underlined part in Paragraph 8 may actually mean that_____.A．it is important to lay a good foundation of lifeB．food and clothing are basic needs for people’s lifeC．he doesn’t spend much money on food and clothesD．he never cares about buying food and clothing26．What advice did Bill Gates give?A．Avoid staying up too late.B．Be a good language learner.C．Do the dishes yourself at home.D．Pick up the $100 bills in the streets.27．Which of the following is true according to the passage?A．Bill Gates is also the founder of Facebook.B．Bill Gates topped the list of Forbes 28 times.C．Bill Gates was good at learning languages in high schoo1.D．Bill Gates’ wife wants Samuel to play a game with Gates.“Anything you want, anytime you need it.”The message appeared on computer screens across the country at the same time, on the same day: December 12th, at 12 p.m.. Simultaneously, important looking envelopes containing cards with the same message were hand-delivered to the offices of all the major news companies.One found its way to the desk of Chris Lin, a business reporter at The Post. The card was beautifully designed – a black background with the words printed out in crisp white letters. There was no explanation on the back, just a website address.Chris went to the website. Its style was identical to the card’s and said: “Anytime: Starting Tomorrow.”The next day websites and blogs were filled with articles theorising about Anytime. Was it a shopping website like Tao Bao or Amazon? A joke? Something illegal? Anytime’s marketing had worked – it was a household name before it’d even made a single sal e.When the opening came, that day at noon, the Anytime website suddenly had a single field that read, “What do you want?” All you had to do was type the words into that box, and then specify how quickly you wanted your item delivered: within one, ten, or twenty-four hours.Bloggers were the first to test the service. And their reviews were glowing. Within weeks, Anytime had become a part of daily life. Nobody used other delivery sites or the post anymore as Anytime was much cheaper and faster.Chris still wondered what exactly Anytime was. He tried to find out who owned the company, but it was registered in a small country that did not require such information to be made public. He did find some interesting facts, though. Anyone who challenged the company, it seemed, met with serious trouble. A government official critical of Anytime for avoiding tax was forced to leave his position after news stories suddenly appeared claiming he was dishonest. The head of another company taking Anytime to court died in a car accident just days before the case was to begin.Chris began making a list of all the people who had something terrible happen to them after opposing or criticising Anytime. By lunch, he had more than one hundred examples. Something was definitely wrong. Chris worked on his list the rest of the day, emailing people who could provide more information and looking through newspaper records. After working through the night, an exhausted Chris finally fell asleep at his desk at 4 a.m..When he woke a few hour s later, there was a message flashing on his computer screen: “Stop making trouble.” Chris smiled. He had no intention of stopping now that he knew he was on the right track.28．What was on the front of the card sent to Chris Lin?A．An invitation to a company opening.B．The website address of a new company.C．The words “Anytime:Starting tomorrow”.D．The words “Anything you want, anytime you need it”.29．Why did the company choose to send the cards to many news reporters?A．Because it didn’t have enough mon ey for traditional advertising.B．Because it wanted to attract the reporters as customers.C．So the reporters would write stories about the new company.D．So people would find the new company interesting.30．What did Chris’ s research suggest about Anytime?A．Itmay be very dangerous.B．Its popularity would soon decrease.C．It was doing business all over the world.D．It was being widely criticised by journalists.31．How did Chris feel at the end of the story?A．Scared that he would get into trouble.B．Confident that he would find the truth.C．Nervous about what the company would do.D．Satisfied that he had discovered the company’s secret.Inside a secured room in a beautiful castle near Paris, a small metal cylinder (圆柱体) rests on a shelf beneath a double set of bell jars. It has lain there for more than a century, its rest only occasionally disturbed when the room’s three key holders perform a coordinated opening ceremony to let technicians enter and clean this precious piece of metal.First, the cylinder is rubbed with a piece of soft, alcohol-soaked cloth. Then it is steamed with pure water. Finally, the 1kg cylinder is returned, carefully, to its resting place.Such attention to a lump of metal is unusual, but has a purpose. The castle houses the International Bureau of Weights and Measures and that piece of shining, circular metal is its holiest relic. It is the defining mass (质量)against which all other kilograms are measured. This is the international prototype, or standard, of the kilogram. The IPK, in short.Dozens of carefully weighted copies of the original have been made. They are stored around the world and used to standardise individual nations’ weights and measures systems.But the days of the IPK, in its current form, are numbered. The International Bureau of Weights and Measures has decided to replace this single physical specimen with a more fundamental measurement –based on electric current – in order to define the mass of an object. The king of kilograms is about to be dethroned.“One key reason for doing this work is to provide international security,” says Bureau spokesman Paul Robinson. “If the castle burned down tomorrow and the kilogram was destroyed, we would have no reference left for the world’s metric weights system. There would be chaos. The current definition of the kilogram is the weight of that cylinder in Paris, after all.”Another major motivation for the replacement of the IPK is the growing need to be able to carry out more and more precise measurements. “Drug companies wi ll soon be wanting to use ingredients that will have to be measured in terms of a few millionths or even billionths of a gram,” says Robinson. “We need to be prepared to weigh substances with that kind of accuracy.”32．What do we know about the IPK from the first two paragraphs?A．It’s cared for with great devotion.B．It’s used in religious ceremonies.C．It’s beautifully designed and decorated.D．It’s the most valuable metal in the world.33．Which of the following best explains “dethroned” underlined in par agraph 5?A．rebuilt B．removedC．destroyed D．upgraded34．What is a reason for replacing the current IPK?A．To protect the metal cylinder from damage.B．To make taking measurements more economical.C．To provide all countries with the same standard.D．To satisfy the increasing demand for exactness.35．What can be a suitable title for the text?A．No more kilosB．A heavy technologyC．The future of the kiloD．The history of measures三、七选五Chuck was in my high-school English class.36．So, when he told me he had been accepted into the journalism program at the University of Missouri, I wasn’t surprised.During the first year at college, Chuck stopped by school a few times. We talked about our work together several years before. We had raised money together for twenty-three sick and abandoned babies.37．. It was an activity that in some ways changed our formal relationship into a friendship.In his second year in college, it was discovered that Chuck had lung cancer and had only a short while to live. So he left school and came home to be near to his loved ones.About six weeks later, Chuck died.38．The youngest of nine children, Chuck was talented and full of promise. More importantly, he was a good person, a just man.When I went to his funeral, his father asked to speak with me. He told me that before Chuck’s death, he chose six items to bury with him.39．He told me that Chuck had always kept the piece because he liked the message I had written to him at the bottom of the last page. In that little note, I affirmed his talent as a writer and I encouraged him to be responsible for the gift.40．His taking my note with him forever offered me a great opportunity for influencing students’ lives.I felt inspired with a sense of purpose that was greater than ever: teachers have the power to affect hearts and minds for a long time.A．It was a great loss for everyone, especially for his family.B．Chuck helped to raise several thousand dollars.C．Whenever I forget my purpose, I think of Chuck.D．He was a writer of great promise.E. My spirits were lifted up as Chuck was filled with the joy of life.F. One of them was an essay he had written in my class some years before.G. I was touched and grateful to Chuck who gave me a special gift that would change my life.第II卷（非选择题）四、语法填空One of my favourite41．(hobby) is hiking.

of"……之一"可知，此处应使用名词复数．故填hobbies．2．which ，考查定语从句．此处为非限定性定语从句，先行词是a compass and GPS unit，关系词在从句中做主语，应使用关系代词which引导．故填which．3．to keep，考查动词不定式．句意：此外，我需要足够的食物和水让我保持精力充沛．此处应使用动词不定式，表目的．故填to keep．4．gardeners

for，意为"等……"，故答案为for．6．happily，考查词形转化．句意：黄色的蝴蝶快乐地从一株植物飞到另一株植物，小鸟在绿色的树上唱歌．我现在喜欢坐公共汽车．此处是副词修饰动词fly，故答案为happily．7．how，考查疑问副词．句意：当他们到达那里时，他们首先考察这片土地并决定如何灭火．分析句子可知，decide为及物动词，后接"疑问副词+动词不定式"作宾语，根据句意，应用表示方式的疑问副词how．故填how．8．spreading，考查动名词．句意：他们的主要目标是阻止火势蔓延．from为介词，后接动名词作宾语．spread"传播，蔓延"这里为不及物动词，主动形式表达被动含义．故填spreading．9．but，考查连词．句意：这份工作是很危险的，但他们喜欢从飞机上跳下来，救火，住在森林里．前后语意表示转折，所以填连词but．故填but．10．has worked，考查现在完成时．句意：38岁的Alexi Tishin，已做过15年空降森林灭火员，他说："这是最适合硬汉的工作．分析句子可知，38﹣year﹣old Alexi Tishin为先行词，在后面的定语从句中作主语，由句意可知，定语从句的时态为现在完成时，所以填has worked．故填has worked．【点评】本题主要考查了用单词或短语的适当形式填空．做本题的关键是在理解短文的基础上，灵活运用所学的基础知识．本题考到的知识点有：固定的短语，词类的转换，名词的复数形式，副词以及祈使句的用法等．因此，这就需要在平时的学习中，牢固掌握各语言点及一些语法知识．第二节完形填空（共20 小题；每小题 1.5 分，共30 分）阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，从每题所给的A、B、C、D

visitors arrive．"Within 5to 15 minutes of death，flies or other insects begin to colonize the body．" says Rabi Musah，an organic chemist at the University at Albany．She says different species turn up at different stages of decomposition．"So because of that，depending upon what entomological（昆虫学的）evidence you find，you can learn something about when the person died in terms of the timing of the death．"Flies don't tend to stick around when disturbed by detectives．But they do leave behind eggs．The eggs are hard to tell apart by appearance alone，so specialists raise them until they hatch，a few weeks later﹣and they get a species ID and，with a little guesswork，a person's time of death．But Musah has come up with a more time﹣saving approach：chemical analysis of the eggs．She and her team investigated that method by first harvesting flies with pig﹣liver traps hidden throughout New York City．They collected the trapped flies and then chemically analyzed their eggs．And it turns out each species of fly egg has a unique chemical fingerprint﹣enough to tell the eggs apart without raising the eggs to maturity．The study is in the journal Analytical Chemistry．Musah and her colleague Jennifer Rosati are now testing the method on a real case．"And once we do that we will be publishing some case studies to illustrate（阐明）that this is a method that can be used，and hopefully eventually it's something that will stand up in court，and something that could speed up detective work﹣or help deal with a cold case．"（1）Which of the following can best replace the underlined word "colonize" in paragraph 1？ A．look forB．fight overC．carry awayD．gather on（2）How can a specialist know a person's time of death？ A．By researching the habitual nature of flies．B．By relying on the entomological evidence．C．By distinguishing the appearance of flies．D．By discovering a new detective method．（3）What can we infer about Musah's approach from the last paragraph？ A．Scientists have published studies about it．B．It is bound to make every cold case solved．C．It may help accelerate the detection of cases．D．It will be published in Analytical Chemistry．（4）Where most probably can you see this article？ A．In a science fiction．B．In a newspaper．C．In a medical paper．D．In a novel．4．（6分）Welcome to the 2017 UK Festival AwardsThe UK Festival Awards & Conference is an opportunity to recognize the hard work，vision and creativity of the nation's beloved festival industry．Throughout the day of the event，the Conference invites numerous industryinsiders（行家）to discuss the issues most relative to the sector，reviewing its immediate past and portending to the future．The evening's Awards present a wide range of honors across categories that are decided via a combination of public voting and professional judgments．Since launching in 2004 it has evolved into a major event at The Roundhouse in London，giving the industry a chance to collectively celebrate and fondly reflect upon the achievements of the past year．With a gourmet dinner，gala awards ceremony and after﹣show party，it attracts over 1，000 of the most influential people in the business．Along with its sister events，the UK Festival Conference and the European Festival Awards，The UK Festival Awards & Conference is owned and produced by Festival Awards Ltd，an independent company founded in the UK．Awards include Best Major，Medium﹣Sized and Small Festival，Best Family Festival，Best Overseas Festival，Best Use of New Technology，and of course ﹣ Best Toilets．As the festival season is approaching，we thought it'd be a good time to release our free UK Festival Market Report for 2015 / 2016．We gathered the data in our annual census（人口普查）undertaken in the preparation stage for last year's UK Festival Awards．The latest UK Festival Market Report can be downloaded below．Included in the Report is a bunch of related information about festivalgoers：where they're from，how they like to purchase music，what they eat，their attitudes towards ticket prices，how receptive they are to different forms of advertising，why they go to festivals in the first place，where they sleep，and much more．We hope you find the information useful．（1）Which phrase is the closest in meaning to the underlined word "portending" in paragraph 2？ A．getting downB．adding upC．giving wayD．looking forward（2）What can be inferred from the passage？ A．An annual census is conducted and released in the FestivalB．The Festival Awards Ltd，is responsible for not less than three events．C．The gala awards ceremony attracts only 1.000 influential businessmen．D．Public voting plays a leading role in deciding a variety of festival honors．（3）Where most probably will you see this passage？ A．In a magazine．B．In a newspaper．C．On a website．D．In a TV program．5．（8分）Have you ever heard of agritourism where you can experience farm life？If not，Dr．Cindy Ayers﹣Elliott will tell you the real story of Foot Print Farms．The original concept of building Foot Print Farms was simple．When Ayers﹣Elliott returned to her hometown after graduation，she didn' t have to look any further than her state' s alarming health statistics to find a mission．Everywhere she turned，there were reports of high blood pressure，diabetes，obesity and heart disease．"The problem was already identified．" explains Ayers﹣Elliott．"Too many Mississippians were seriously unhealthy and it didn't take research to see that．And many of the state' s greatest health challenges could directly result from poor diet．"These days，Foot Print Farms，which started with a few raised beds of herbs and vegetables，is making fresh，naturally grown food．"When speaking of the key to my success，the co﹣op model works because we share the work and rewards，" notes Ayers﹣Elliott．" A perfect example is the Wingfield High School football team．To earn the money for equipment and other items，players committed to working five hours a week on the farm，and by the end of the summer they had produced 1，000 melons and the profits from their sales helped to buy weights，T﹣shirts，sweat suits and pregame meals．But the lessons they learned about the rewards of hard work and working together to accomplish something were even more valuable products of their efforts．""It' s a model that can easily be learned in other places and I' m looking forward to seeing some of our current partners do just that﹣﹣to take what they have learned here and spin it offin other communities，"Ayers﹣Elliott remarks．She is now looking forward to developing an agritourism aspect to the farm，where visitors can experience farm life，learn new skills and take with them seeds of inspiration they can sow in their own communities when they return home．（1）What made Ayers﹣Elliott set up Foot Print Farms？ A．The problems faced by local farmers．B．Her further research into heart disease．C．The failure of her career after graduation．D．The health state of people in her hometown．（2）Why does the author take the football team as an example？ A．To advocate the concept of independence．B．To stress the importance of teamwork．C．To support the idea of co﹣op model．D．To explore the key to success．（3）What is Ayers﹣Elliott' s attitude towards the future of Foot Print Farms？ A．Optimistic．B．Skeptical．C．Cautious．D．Ambiguous．（4）What is the main idea of the text？ A．Naturally grown food benefits people's health．B．Food Print Farms is making a difference in Mississippi．C．Ayers﹣Elliott encourages people to experience farmD．Agritourism is becoming increasingly popular in America．6．（8分）We can video chat with astronauts aboard the International Space Station and watch live footage from the frozen heights of Everest．But communicating with a submarine （潜艇）or a diver is not so easy．The lack of practical methods for sharing data between underwater and airborne devices has long been a frustration for scientists．The difficulty stems from the fact that radio signals work perfectly in air travel but poorly in water．Sonar（声呐）signals used by underwater sensors reflect off the surface of the water rather than reaching the air．Now，researchers at MIT have developed a method with the potential to revolutionize underwater communication．"What we've shown is that it's actually feasible to communicate from underwater to the air，" says Fadel Adib，a professor at MJT' s Media Lab，who led the research．The MIT researchers designed a system that uses an underwater machine to send sonar signals to the surface，making vibrations （震动）corresponding to the ls and Os of the data．A surface receiver then reads and decodes these tiny vibrations．The researchers call the system TARF．It has any number of potential real﹣world uses，Adib says．It could be used to find downed planes underwater by reading signals from sonar devices in a plane' s black box and it could allow submarines to communicate with the surface．Right now the technology is low﹣resolution．The initial study was conducted in the MIT swimming pool at maximum depths of around 11 or 12 feet．The next steps for the researchers are to see if TARF is workable at much greater depths and under varying conditions﹣high waves，storms，schools of fish．They also want to see if they can make the technology work in the other direction﹣ air to water．If the technology proves successful in real﹣world conditions，expect "texting while diving" to be the latest underwater fashion．（1）What does the author mainly talk about in Paragraph 1？ A．The future of video chat underwater and in air．B．The frustrations of developing underwater devices．C．The difficulty of communication from water to air．D．The current situation of communicating with a submarine．（2）What does the underlined word "feasible" mean？ A．Achievable．B．Convenient．C．Changeable．D．Alternative．（3）What do we know about TARF？ A．It is widely used to find downed planes．B．It can work well at great depths underwater．C．It is an underwater machine that sends signals．D．It can send，receive and read signals from underwater．（4）What is the best title for the text？ A．The Real﹣world Uses of Sonar TechnologyB．Full Water﹣to﹣air Communication Closer to RealityC．A Breakthrough in the Application of Video ChatD．TARF Becoming a New Means of Communication第二节（共10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项．选项中有两项为多余选项．7．（10分）Dream is strength．The strength can bring us wherever we want to get to and it can bring us a lot of wonders on our way to the place in our dreams．Dream is beauty．Maybe you can see the things full of magic and maybe you will be moved by your own dream．（1） ．But should we have our life without dreams？Of course not．Everyone has his dreams and dreams are especially important to teenagers．As teenagers，you have many dreams．These dreams can be very big，such as winning the Nobel Prize．Or they can be small，for example，you may just want to become one of the ten best students in your class．（2） ，what do you do with it？Do you ever try to make your dream come true？Andrew Matthews，an Australian writer，tells us that making our dreams come true is the biggest challenge in our life．（3） ，or that it is impossible for you to becomea writer．（4） ．In fact，everyone can fulfill his dream．The first thing youmust do is remember what your dream is．Don't let it leave your heart．Keep telling yourself what you want．Do this step by step and your dream will come true earlier becausea big dream is made up of many small dreams．You must never give up your dreams．（5） ．But the biggest one comes from yourself．You need to decide what is the most important and face all these difficultiesbravely．A．These kinds of thoughts stop you realizing your dreamsB．There will be many difficulties on the road to your dreamsC．Once you find a dreamD．You may think you're not very good at some school subjectsE．Both big dreams and small ones are very important to our livesF．The world is so real that the dreams seem weakG．Your talent is one of the most important factors in living your

not just a marker of reaching the middle class but also a （3） requirement （require）for marriage．As the economy boomed，autos pushed bikes off the roads，（4） creating （create）heavy pollution and miserable traffic．Fortunately，now Beijing may be returning to its roots with a modem twist．Thanks to about 20 technology companies，brightly coloured shared bikes （5） have flooded/have been flooding （flood）Beijing since last year．Many local residents welcome the shared bikes （6） for the flexibility and freedom they offer．They pick up the bikes and then ride and drop （7） them off anywhere they like，locking the back wheel，with no need to find a fixed place．Analysis in China say there are three factors （8） that contribute to the sudden increase of bikes：a lot of cash looking for a home，a good idea and government support．"As the city's population grew，traffic jams got （9） worse （bad）．" Cai，the Ofo spokeswoman，said，"Shared bikes could solve the ‘last mile' problem in （10） an environmentally friendly way．"【分析】本文讲述北京曾经是一个自行车之城，是一个被称为自行车王国的国家的首都，然而，几十年的显著经济增长导致了城市里汽车的大量流动．幸运的是，现在北京可能正以一种现代的方式回归其根源．共享自行车自去年以来已经淹没了北京．【解答】1．known．考查固定搭配及非谓语．be known as…以……而出名/闻名．此处是形容词作country的后置定语，故要用形容词known．句意：北京曾经是一个自行车城，它是一个被称为自行车王国的首都，故填known．2．However，考查连词．根据文章内容可知，本空前后是转折关系，然而，几十年的显著经济增长导致了城市的巨大流动．故填However．3．requirement，考查名词．a for marriage．本空前是不定冠词a，故要用名词，故填reguire的名词requirement．4．．creating，考查非谓语作结果状语．As the economy boomed，autos pushed bikes off the roads， 4 （create）heavy pollution and miserable traffic．随着经济的繁荣，汽车代替了自行车，这造成了严重污染和令人痛苦的交通．Create的逻辑主语是前面的复合句，即前面的经济繁荣让汽车代替了自行车造成了污染和交通，因此导致后面的结果，故填主动形式creating．5．have flooded/have been flooding，考查现在完成时．由since ，（"自从"），引导的状语从句是过去时/过去的时间，主句要用现在完成时．故填have flooded/have been flooding．6．for，考查固定搭配．Offer for "出价"，"以…..出售"．许多当地居民欢迎共享自行车的灵活性和他们提供的自由．而本题有可能有人错填to．因为共享的自行车要花钱才能使用，故要用offer for，Offer sb．sth．＝off sth．to sb．主动提供某人某物．故填for．7．them，考查人称代词．them指代前面所提到的自行车（bikes），故填复数them．8．that，定语从句的关系代词．there are three factors 8 contribute to the sudden increase of bikes．本句中先行词是three factors 在定语从句中作主语，指物的既可用that或which，故填that．9．worse，考查比较级．句意：随着城市人口的增长，交通拥堵变得（比以前）更糟糕．指比以前要更糟糕，故填bad的比较级worse．10．an，考查冠词．句意：以一种环保的方式．表数量，且environmentally是以元音开头，故填an．【点评】本题主要考查了用单词或短语的适当形式填空．做本题的关键是在理解短文的基础上，灵活运用所学的基础知识．本题考到的知识点有：固定的短语，词类的转换，名词的复数形式，副词以及祈使句的用法等．因此，这就需要在平时的学习中，牢固掌握各语言点及一些语法知识．第二节完形填空（共20

soon as a person dies，decomposition（分解）begins．And the first visitors arrive．"Within 5to 15 minutes of death，flies or other insects begin to colonize the body．" says Rabi Musah，an organic chemist at the University at Albany．She says different species turn up at different stages of decomposition．"So because of that，depending upon what entomological（昆虫学的）evidence you find，you can learn something about when the person died in terms of the timing of the death．"Flies don't tend to stick around when disturbed by detectives．But they do leave behind eggs．The eggs are hard to tell apart by appearance alone，so specialists raise them until they hatch，a few weeks later﹣and they get a species ID and，with a little guesswork，a person's time of death．But Musah has come up with a more time﹣saving approach：chemical analysis of the eggs．She and her team investigated that method by first harvesting flies with pig﹣liver traps hidden throughout New York City．They collected the trapped flies and then chemically analyzed their eggs．And it turns out each species of fly egg has a unique chemical fingerprint﹣enough to tell the eggs apart without raising the eggs to maturity．The study is in the journal Analytical Chemistry．Musah and her colleague Jennifer Rosati are now testing the method on a real case．"And once we do that we will be publishing some case studies to illustrate（阐明）that this is a method that can be used，and hopefully eventually it's something that will stand up in court，and something that could speed up detective work﹣or help deal with a cold case．"（1）Which of the following can best replace the underlined word "colonize" in paragraph1？ D A．look forB．fight overC．carry awayD．gather on（2）How can a specialist know a person's time of death？ B A．By researching the habitual nature of flies．B．By relying on the entomological evidence．C．By distinguishing the appearance of flies．D．By discovering a new detective method．（3）What can we infer about Musah's approach from the last paragraph？ C A．Scientists have published studies about it．B．It is bound to make every cold case solved．C．It may help accelerate the detection of cases．D．It will be published in Analytical Chemistry．（4）Where most probably can you see this article？ B A．In a science fiction．B．In a newspaper．C．In a medical paper．D．In a novel．【分析】本文讲述科学家认为苍蝇会为验尸提供证据．【解答】1﹣﹣﹣4DBCB1．D，考查词义猜测题，根据第一段：As soon as a person dies，decomposition（分解）begins．And the first visitors arrive人一死亡，分解过程就开始了．参与分解的首批访客也随之而来，可知D选项表示"聚集"是对的．2．B，考查事实细节题，根据第二段：depending upon what entomological（昆虫学的）evidence you find，you can learn something about when the person died in terms of the timing of the death．"可知依靠昆虫学的证据，可以判断一个人的死亡时间．所以选B．3．C，考查推理判断题，根据最后一段的内容：现在，穆萨和同事詹妮弗•罗萨蒂将在一个真实案例上测试这种方法．"进行测试以后，我们将发表一些案例研究结果，以证明这种方法可行，希望它最终成为在法庭上站得住脚的证据．"而且这种方法还能提高破案效率，或在破解悬案上提供帮助．可知C选项正确．4．B，考查推理判断题，根据本文的大意：科学家认为苍蝇会为验尸提供证据，可知不是科幻小说，也不是医学论文，也不是小说，所以选B，是报纸的一篇报道．【点评】阅读理解解题步骤：首先对原文材料迅速浏览，掌握全文的主旨大意．因为阅读理解题一般没有标题，所以，速读全文，抓住中心主旨很有必要，在速读的过程中，应尽可能多地捕获信息材料．其次，细读题材，各个击破．掌握全文的大意之后，细细阅读每篇材料后的问题，弄清每题要求后，带着问题，再回到原文中去寻找、捕获有关信息．要善于抓住每段的主题句，阅读时，要有较强的针对性．对于捕获到的信息，要做认真分析，仔细推敲，理解透彻，只有这样，针对题目要求，才能做到稳、准．4．（6分）Welcome

event，the Conference invites numerous industry insiders（行家）to discuss the issues most relative to the sector，reviewing its immediate past and portending to the future．The evening's Awards present a

2019-2020学年北京大学附属中学高三英语模拟试卷及答案解析
2019-2020学年北京大学附属中学高三英语模拟试卷及答案解析第一部分阅读（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项AFine art fairs（艺术博览会）are the trend of the 21st century, with new art and antique（古玩）fairs and festivals springing up in diverse parts of the world. Here is a list of four noteworthy art fairs.Art Basel, Basel, SwitzerlandThe granddaddy of art fairs, Art Basel, was established in 1970 by a group of local art gallerists and is the biggest contemporary art fair in the world. Art Basel takes place over a 5-day period each June in Basel, Switzerland. The high cost of renting space for gallery owners is offset（抵消）by the huge attendance at the fair. For example in 2010, about 60,000 visitors attended Art Basel.Frieze Art Fair, London“Frieze Art Fair was established in 2003 and is one of the few fairs to focus only on contemporary art and living artists.v"Thefair takes place every October in Regent's Park, London. It features over 170 of the most exciting contemporary art galleries in the world. ”In addition to the fair which began in 2003, the fair owners Matthew Slotover and Amanda Sharp publish Frieze, an international art magazine established in 1991 and devoted to contemporary art.TEFAF Maastricht, the NetherlandsEstablished in 1975 as The Pictura Fine Art Fair, and renamed The European Fine Art Foundation（TEFAF）, Maastricht in 1996, the fair includes 260 of the world's most famous art and antique dealers from 16 countries.The 24th edition of the TEFAF fair held March 18 — 27, 2011 featured 260 dealers exhibiting approximately 30, 000 artworks and antiques with an overall value of $ US 1. 4 billion.ARCO, MadridARCO Madrid was established in 1982 and is one of Europe's leading and popular art fairs. In addition to the exhibiting galleries（in 2011, 197 international art galleries participated）, a seriesof lectures and specially focused exhibitions take place.1.How does Art Basel cover the expense of renting space?A.By selling tickets.B.By selling expensive exhibits.C.By donation from dealers.D.By support from the government.2.The owners of Frieze Art Fair are also in charge of____.A.170 living artists.B.An international art magazine.C.30,000 artworks and antiques.D.A series of lectures.3.Which of the following has the longest history?A.Art BaselB.Frieze Art FairC.TEFAFD.ARCOBIt’s 13:30 and 28-year-old Marten Pella 's smart phone starts pinging, a signal that it’s time for us to stop working around his living room table and instead start our workout routine together. A cartoon character wearing bright red shorts on video begins instructing us to do star-jumps and sit-ups around his apartment.Pella, a research assistant at Stockholm University, is part of the Hoffice movement, which invites workers-freelancers（自由职业者）or full-time employees who can do their jobs remotely—to work at each other’s homes to increase productivity and enjoy an active social life.Those attending Hoffice events advertised on Facebook are typically asked to work silently in 45-minute blocks, before taking short breaks together to exercise, or simply chatting over a coffee. In addition, each participant shares daily objectives with the rest of the group upon arrival, and is invited to report back on whether or not they have achieved them at the end of the day.“Often when I am alone, I can work focused for a couple of hours but then I’m easily distracted（分心）.The help of others makes me so much more disciplined.” says Pella, who attends Hoffice events as both a guest and a host. Lunches mean networking and connecting with new contacts. “People are coming from really different areas and have different professions so there can be really interesting discussions,” he says.The Hoffice movement has grown quickly since it was founded in 2014 by Swedish psychologist Christofer Franzen, now 37. He had been giving lectures on the benefits of collective（集体的）intelligence, but realised he was spending most of his own time working alone at his kitchen table. “I wanted to test more structured home co-working with friends in similar situations,” he says.Franzen says that holding events in houses and apartments creates a unique atmosphere, because there’s a sense of community and desire to contribute. He’s looking for ways to expand the social value of Hoffice, by matching up members with relevant skills to share and even encouraging jobseekers to join its gatherings.4. Where is Pella when his smart phone starts pinging?A. In his own home.B. In his office.C. In another person’s home.D. At Stockholm University.5. What do people attending Hoffice events do first when they meet?A. Watch an exercise video.B. Work silently for 45 minutes.C. Tell each other their daily plans.D. Report what they have achieved.6. What does Franzen really mean by saying “friends in similar situations”?A. They usually work alone.B. They often give lectures.C. They study collective intelligence.D. They have to work at a kitchen table.7. What is the best title for the text?A. Sharing Comfortable WorkplacesB. A New Way to Make New FriendsC. Benefits of Collective IntelligenceD. Working from Others’ HomesC"Long time no see." is a very interesting sentence. When I first read this sentence from an American friend's e-mail, I laughed. I thought it was a perfect example of Chinglish.Obviously, it is a word-by-word literal translation of the Chinese greeting with wrong English grammar and structure! Later on, my friend told me that it is a standard American greeting. I was too surprised to believe her. Her words were unbelievable at all. So I did research onGoogle. com. To my surprise, there are over 60 thousand web pages containing "Long time no see." Though it is sort of informal, it is part of the language that Americans use daily. Interestingly, if you type this phrase in Microsoft Word, the software will tell you that the grammar needs to be corrected.Nobody knows the origin of this Chinglish sentence. Some people believe that it came from Charlie Chan's movies. In the 1930s, Hollywood moviemakers successfully created a worldwide famous Chinese detective named "Charlie Chan" on wide screens. Detective Chan liked to teach Americans some Chinese wisdom by quoting Confucius. "Long time no see." was his symbol. Soon after Charlie Chan, "Long time no see." became a popular expression in America thanks to the popularity of these movies.Some scholars compare America to a hugemelting pot. All kinds of cultures are mixed in the pot together, and they change the colour and taste of each other. Language is usually the first thing to be influenced in the mixed pot.You can have some examples from other countries such as pizza from Italian, sushi from Japanese, and déjà vu from French etc. There is a long list! Since Americans admire Chinese culture more and more nowadays, Ibelieve more Chinese words will become American English in the future.

The alarm goes off and the onlylight is the red glow from my clock. My body says, “Go back to bed.” But I don’t. I know my running partner will be waiting in the street and I’m not going to stand her up. Then I walk onto the road, complaining about the cold and wishing I were back under my warm covers.If you’d have asked me a year ago if I could see myself running at 5:15 on a winter morning, I’d have laughed. Morning just wasn’t my thing and running in the morning was something I didn’t even consider. “I prefer to work out in the middle of the morning or in the afternoon,” I’d say to my friends who go to the gym before work.Then, last fall I reconnected with an old neighborhood friend. She’d been running in the morning and taken off forty pounds that year. When I looked in the mirror, I knew I could benefit from the same kind of weight loss. Iasked if I could join her. I knew I needed to change something if I was going to get back in shape.The first two months were especially hard, because we ran twice a week at 5:15 am and I slept till 7:00 the other mornings. But as I’ve adjusted to the routine of running, I’ve discovered great joys that make it even more worthwhile than a little weight loss.While I haven’t lost forty pounds yet, it’s amazing how much more energy I have and how much stronger I feel. Because of the morning run, the rest of my day is more productive. I wouldn’t say I’ve become a morning person, but I would say morning running is now my thing.12. What can we know about the author from paragraph 1?A. 5:15 is the ideal time for her to exercise.B. She prefers to run without any company.C. She takes the run with warm clothes on.D. She goes for a run in spite of the cold and early rise.13. What was the author’s attitude to morning running a year ago?A. Scared.B. Unfavorable.C. Supportive.D. Confused.14. What made the author begin to run in the morning?A. Her partner’s encouragement.B. Her friend’s suggestion.C. Realizing the benefits of running.D. Realizing the harm of being fat.15. What effect does morning runninghave on the author?A. She has become slim again.B. She has become more confident.C. She has become more energetic.D. She has become more exhausted.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10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。

If you take this trip, you won’t need to pay______.A. for a standard lake viewB. for a superior non-lake viewC. holiday insuranceD. transfer feesBA Hero Born, the first volume of famous Chinese martial arts novelist Jin Yong’s Legends of the Condor Heroes, was on Thursday published in English for the first time.British publishing house MacLehose bought the rights to the book five years ago and commissioned Anna Holmwood, a professional focused on Chinese-English literary translation, to the translate work.After years of hard work, the 400-page translation, priced at 14.99 pounds ($20.8), finally hit bookstores.“I feel very excited and a little nervous als o, of course. It is a big moment for me personally,” Holmwood told Xinhua from her home inSweden. “If you are a fan of Lord Of The Rings and are looking for the next best thing, A Hero Born is definitely the book for you,” Waterstone, one of Britain’s big gest chain bookstores, said on its website.Jin Yong(1924-2018) is the pen name of Louis Cha. He is one of the best-selling Chinese authors with over 300 million copies of his works sold in the Chinese-speaking world.Despite their popularity, only few of J in Yong’s martial arts novels have been translated into English. The Legends of the Condor Heroes, one of his most well-known works, covers the Song Dynasty and features hundreds of characters, telling a story full of gravity-defying kung fu, treachery, loyalty and love.Holmwood, who has also translated works by other contemporary Chinese authors, said she became very involved in the details and admired Jin Yong’s brilliant writing. As a fan of Chinese classical poetry and literature, she recommended Jin Y ong’s novels to a book agent in 2012. “It was mainly because of the quality of the writing and also because of his status in Chinese culture. The publisher in Britain was very excited to see there was such a big beloved author who still hadn’t been transla ted into English, at least not by a trade publisher,” she recalled.“Of course it does make me nervous that the translation will be read against the original in a way that most translations don’t. So I have taken on the task with a humble heart,” she said.The Times called the book she translated “hugely entertaining” and selected it as Book of the Month.34.What can we learn from the passage?A.Jin Yong’s Legends of the Condor Heroes was published on Thursday.B.With the pen name Louis Cha, Jin Yong is the best-selling Chinese author.C.A Hero Born is considered as successful as Lord Of The Rings.D.Anna Holmw ood has translated most of Jin Yong’s brilliant novels.35.What’s the attitude of Holmwood towards Jin Yong?A. GratefulB. IndifferentC. CriticalD. Admiring36.In the second paragraph “commissioned” probably means_____.A.appointedB. advocatedC. distributedD. begged37.Where is the text probably taken from?A. A book review.B. A news report.C. A magazine.D. A martial arts novel.CWhen it's five o'clock, people leave their office. The length of the workday, for many workers, it defined by time. They leave when the clocks tells them they’re done.These days, the time is everywhere: not just on clocks or watches, but on cellphones and computers. That may be a bad thing, particularly at work. New research shows that clockClock-timers organize their day by blocks of minutes and hours. For example: a meeting from 9 a. m. to 10 a. m, research from 10 a. m to noon, etc. On the other hand, task-timers have a list of things they want to accomplish. They work down the list, each task starts when the previous task is completed. It is said that all of us employ a mix of both these types of planning.What, then, are the effects of thinking about time in these different ways? Does one make us more productive? Better at the tasks at hand? Happier? In experiments conducted by Tamar Avnet and Anne-Laure Sellier, they had participants organize different activitiesfrom project planning, holiday shopping, to yoga-by time or to-do list to measure how they performed under “ clock time” vs “ task time”. They found clock timers to be more efficient(有效率的) but less happy because they felt little control over their lives. Task timers are happier and more creative, but less productive. They tend to enjoy the moment when something good is happening, and seize opportunities that come up.The researchers argue that task-based organizing tends to be undervalued and under-supported in the business culture. This might be a small change to the way we view work and the office, but the researchers argue that it challenges a widespread characteristic ofthe economy; work organized by clock time. While most people will still probably need, and be, to some extent, clock-timers, task-based timing shouldbe used when performing a job that requires more creativity. It’ll make those tasks easier, and the tas k-doers will be happier.38. What does the author say a clock-based work?A. It makes workers very tired.B. It reminds workers to leave on time.C. It makes workers aware of the precious time.D. It may have a bad effect on the creativity.39. What does the underlined word “hinder”in paragraph 2 mean?A. Block.B. Consider.C. Increase.D. Value.40. What did Tamar Avnet and Anne-Laure Sellier find in their experiments about clock-timers?A. They seize opportunities as they come up.B. They always get their work done in time.C. They tend to be more productive.D. They can control their lives.41. What do the researchers suggest?A. Task-based timing is preferred for doing creative work.B. It is important to keep a balance between work and life.C. Performing creative jobs tends to make workers happier.D. A scientific standard should be adopted in job evaluation.DGiven the recent interest in green buildings in the media, let’s think differently. Instead of focusing on increasing the supply of energy, what if we focus on reducing demand?Can we start with ending the open-door practice of street-front shops? While cool air fromthese shops is refreshing to pedestrians, it carries a cost. Energy is used in the air conditioning process.So it must be possible to look for changes in regulations that would encourage more energy-saving designs. For instance, if we fix ceiling fans, air-conditioning homes could surely be avoided for part of the year. Ceiling fans use far less energy. They were in a year air conditioners could stay if ceiling fans were fixed.In homes built under the small-house policy in New Territories, the ceiling may be too low for ceiling fans. If the 9-meter maximum building height regulation were relaxed, ceiling fans could be fixed to reduce energy use. Currentthinking in sustainable building design and operation involves integrated(协调统一的) design, that is, bring together all parties to create a building with better performance that achieves energy reduction.For integrated design to succeed, all parties must come together and think beyond each person’s circle of influence. Better solutions are impossible to avoid with integrated design. Buildings would no longer be engineered after the basic architecture was built. Positive project outcomes may include reduced air-conditioning load, reduced power use for electric lighting, and a reduction in the amount of materials used.We need to ask if we are ready to look beyond our own small circles and seek an improved approach to building design. By that I mean an integrated design resulting in more sustainable buildings.42. What's the author's attitude towards the open-door practice of the street shops?A. Supportive.B. Disapproving.C. Optimistic.D. Uncaring.43. Why does the author suggest fixing ceiling fans?A. To follow an old practice.B. To help reduce energy use.C. To completely replace air conditioners.D. To help cut down on daily expenses.44. What's the key to making sustainable buildings a reality?A. All parties should get started at the same time.B. The basic architecture should be finished first.C. Properdesign and performance to achieve energy reduction.D. Seeking the small-house policy and some successful architects.45. What would be the best title for the text?A. Waste less, live betterB. Goodbye, air conditioningC. How to reduce the energy costD. Green buildings call for integrated design第二节（共5小题；每小题2分, 共10分）根据短文内容, 从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

visitors arrive．"Within 5to 15 minutes of death，flies or other insects begin to colonize the body．"says Rabi Musah，an organic chemist at the University at Albany．She says different species turn up at different stages of decomposition．"So because of that，depending upon what entomological（昆虫学的）evidence you find，you can learn something about when the person died in terms of the timing of the death．"Flies don't tend to stick around when disturbed by detectives．But they do leave behind eggs．The eggs are hard to tell apart by appearance alone，so specialists raise them until they hatch，a few weeks later﹣and they get a species ID and，with a little guesswork，a person's time of death．But Musah has come up with a more time﹣saving approach：chemical analysis of the eggs．She and her team investigated that method by first harvesting flies with pig﹣liver traps hidden throughout New York City．They collected the trapped flies and then chemically analyzed their eggs．And it turns out each species of fly egg has a unique chemical fingerprint﹣enough to tell the eggs apart without raising the eggs to maturity．The study is in the journal Analytical Chemistry．Musah and her colleague Jennifer Rosati are now testing the method on a real case．"And once we do that we will be publishing some case studies to illustrate（阐明）that this is a method that can be used，and hopefully eventually it's something that will stand up in court，and something that could speed up detective work﹣or help deal with a cold case．"（1）Which of the following can best replace the underlined word "colonize" in paragraph 1？A．look forB．fight overC．carry awayD．gather on（2）How can a specialist know a person's time of death？A．By researching the habitual nature of flies．B．By relying on the entomological evidence．C．By distinguishing the appearance of flies．D．By discovering a new detective method．（3）What can we infer about Musah's approach from the last paragraph？A．Scientists have published studies about it．B．It is bound to make every cold case solved．C．It may help accelerate the detection of cases．D．It will be published in Analytical Chemistry．（4）Where most probably can you see this article？A．In a science fiction．B．In a newspaper．C．In a medical paper．D．In a novel．4．（6分）Welcome to the 2017 UK Festival AwardsThe UK Festival Awards & Conference is an opportunity to recognize the hard work，vision and creativity of the nation's beloved festival industry．Throughout the day of the event，the Conference invites numerous industry insiders（行家）to discuss the issues most relative to the sector，reviewing its immediate past and portending to the future．The evening's Awards present a wide range of honors across categories that are decided via a combination of public voting and professional judgments．Since launching in 2004 it has evolved into a major event at The Roundhouse inLondon，giving the industry a chance to collectively celebrate and fondly reflect upon the achievements of the past year．With a gourmet dinner，gala awards ceremony and after﹣show party，it attracts over 1，000 of the most influential people in the business．Along with its sister events，the UK Festival Conference and the European Festival Awards，The UK Festival Awards & Conference is owned and produced by Festival Awards Ltd，an independent company founded in the UK．Awards include Best Major，Medium﹣Sized and Small Festival，Best Family Festival，Best Overseas Festival，Best Use of New Technology，and of course ﹣Best Toilets．As the festival season is approaching，we thought it'd be a good time to release our free UK Festival Market Report for 2015 / 2016．We gathered the data in our annual census（人口普查）undertaken in the preparation stage for last year's UK Festival Awards．The latest UK Festival Market Report can be downloaded below．Included in the Report is a bunch of related information about festivalgoers：where they're from，how they like to purchase music，what they eat，their attitudes towards ticket prices，how receptive they are to different forms of advertising，why they go to festivals in the first place，where they sleep，and much more．We hope you find the information useful．（1）Which phrase is the closest in meaning to the underlined word "portending" in paragraph 2？A．getting downB．adding upC．giving wayD．looking forward（2）What can be inferred from the passage？A．An annual census is conducted and released in the FestivalB．The Festival Awards Ltd，is responsible for not less than three events．C．The gala awards ceremony attracts only 1.000 influential businessmen．D．Public voting plays a leading role in deciding a variety of festival honors．（3）Where most probably will you see this passage？A．In a magazine．B．In a newspaper．C．On a website．D．In a TV program．5．（8分）Have you ever heard of agritourism where you can experience farm life？If not，Dr．Cindy Ayers﹣Elliott will tell you the real story of Foot Print Farms．The original concept of building Foot Print Farms was simple．When Ayers﹣Elliott returned to her hometown after graduation，she didn' t have to look any further than her state' s alarming health statistics to find a mission．Everywhere she turned，there were reports of high blood pressure，diabetes，obesity and heart disease．"The problem was already identified．" explains Ayers﹣Elliott．"Too many Mississippians were seriously unhealthy and it didn't take research to see that．And many of the state' s greatest health challenges could directly result from poor diet．"These days，Foot Print Farms，which started with a few raised beds of herbs and vegetables，is making fresh，naturally grown food．"When speaking of the key to my success，the co﹣op model works because we share the work and rewards，" notes Ayers﹣Elliott．" A perfect example is the Wingfield High School football team．To earn the money for equipment and other items，players committed to working five hours a week on the farm，and by the end of the summer they had produced 1，000 melons and the profits from their sales helped to buy weights，T﹣shirts，sweat suits and pregame meals．But the lessons they learned about the rewards of hard work and working together to accomplish something were even more valuable products of their efforts．""It' s a model that can easily be learned in other places and I' m looking forward to seeing some of our current partners do just that﹣﹣to take what they have learned here and spin it off in other communities，"Ayers﹣Elliott remarks．She is now looking forward to developing an agritourism aspect to the farm，where visitors can experience farm life，learn new skills and take with them seeds of inspiration they can sow in their own communities when they return home．（1）What made Ayers﹣Elliott set up Foot Print Farms？A．The problems faced by local farmers．B．Her further research into heart disease．C．The failure of her career after graduation．D．The health state of people in her hometown．（2）Why does the author take the football team as an example？A．To advocate the concept of independence．B．To stress the importance of teamwork．C．To support the idea of co﹣op model．D．To explore the key to success．（3）What is Ayers﹣Elliott' s attitude towards the future of Foot Print Farms？A．Optimistic．B．Skeptical．C．Cautious．D．Ambiguous．（4）What is the main idea of the text？A．Naturally grown food benefits people's health．B．Food Print Farms is making a difference in Mississippi．C．Ayers﹣Elliott encourages people to experience farmD．Agritourism is becoming increasingly popular in America．6．（8分）We can video chat with astronauts aboard the International Space Station and watch live footage from the frozen heights of Everest．But communicating with a submarine （潜艇）or a diver is not so easy．The lack of practical methods for sharing data between underwater and airborne devices has long been a frustration for scientists．The difficulty stems from the fact that radio signals work perfectly in air travel but poorly in water．Sonar （声呐）signals used by underwater sensors reflect off the surface of the water rather than reaching the air．Now，researchers at MIT have developed a method with the potential to revolutionize underwater communication．"What we've shown is that it's actually feasible to communicate from underwater to the air，" says Fadel Adib，a professor at MJT' s Media Lab，who led the research．The MIT researchers designed a system that uses an underwater machine to send sonar signals to the surface，making vibrations （震动）corresponding to the ls and Os of the data．A surface receiver then reads and decodes these tiny vibrations．The researchers call the system TARF．It has any number of potential real﹣world uses，Adib says．It could be used to find downed planes underwater by reading signals from sonar devices in a plane' s black box and it could allow submarines to communicate with the surface．Right now the technology is low﹣resolution．The initial study was conducted in the MIT swimming pool at maximum depths of around 11 or 12 feet．The next steps for the researchers are to see if TARF is workable at much greater depths and under varying conditions﹣high waves，storms，schools of fish．They also want to see if they can make the technology work in the other direction﹣air to water．If the technology proves successful in real﹣world conditions，expect "texting while diving" to be the latest underwater fashion．（1）What does the author mainly talk about in Paragraph 1？A．The future of video chat underwater and in air．B．The frustrations of developing underwater devices．C．The difficulty of communication from water to air．D．The current situation of communicating with a submarine．（2）What does the underlined word "feasible" mean？A．Achievable．B．Convenient．C．Changeable．D．Alternative．（3）What do we know about TARF？A．It is widely used to find downed planes．B．It can work well at great depths underwater．C．It is an underwater machine that sends signals．D．It can send，receive and read signals from underwater．（4）What is the best title for the text？A．The Real﹣world Uses of Sonar TechnologyB．Full Water﹣to﹣air Communication Closer to RealityC．A Breakthrough in the Application of Video ChatD．TARF Becoming a New Means of Communication第二节（共10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项．选项中有两项为多余选项．7．（10分）Dream is strength．The strength can bring us wherever we want to get to and it can bring us a lot of wonders on our way to the place in our dreams．Dream is beauty．Maybe you can see the things full of magic and maybe you will be moved by your own dream．（1）．But should we have our life without dreams？Of course not．Everyone has his dreams and dreams are especially important to teenagers．As teenagers，you have many dreams．These dreams can be very big，such as winning the Nobel Prize．Or they can be small，for example，you may just want to become one of the ten best students in your class．（2），what do you do with it？Do you ever try to make your dream come true？Andrew Matthews，an Australian writer，tells us that making our dreams come true is the biggest challenge in our life．（3），or that it is impossible for you to become a writer．（4）．In fact，everyone can fulfill his dream．The first thing you must do is remember what your dream is．Don't let it leave your heart．Keep telling yourself what you want．Do this step by step and your dream will come true earlier because a big dream is made up of many small dreams．You must never give up your dreams．（5）．But the biggest one comes from yourself．You need to decide what is the most important and face all these difficulties bravely．A．These kinds of thoughts stop you realizing your dreamsB．There will be many difficulties on the road to your dreamsC．Once you find a dreamD．You may think you're not very good at some school subjectsE．Both big dreams and small ones are very important to our livesF．The world is so real that the dreams seem weakG．Your talent is one of the most important factors in living your

（1）known（know）as the Bicycle Kingdom，where cars were reserved for official and political business．（2）However，decades of remarkable economic growth led to a huge flowing of cars in the city．Owning one became not just a marker of reaching the middle class but also a （3）requirement（require）for marriage．As the economy boomed，autos pushed bikes off the roads，（4）creating（create）heavy pollution and miserable traffic．Fortunately，now Beijing may be returning to its roots with a modem twist．Thanks to about 20 technology companies，brightly coloured shared bikes （5）have flooded/have been flooding（flood）Beijing since last year．Many local residents welcome the shared bikes （6）for the flexibility and freedom they offer．They pick up the bikes and then ride and drop （7）them off anywhere they like，locking the back wheel，with no need to find a fixed place．Analysis in China say there are three factors （8）that contribute to the sudden increase of bikes： a lot of cash looking for a home， a good idea and government support．"As the city's population grew，traffic jams got （9）worse（bad）．" Cai，the Ofo spokeswoman，said，"Shared bikes could solve the ‘last mile' problem in （10）an environmentally friendly way．"【分析】本文讲述北京曾经是一个自行车之城，是一个被称为自行车王国的国家的首都，然而，几十年的显著经济增长导致了城市里汽车的大量流动．幸运的是，现在北京可能正以一种现代的方式回归其根源．共享自行车自去年以来已经淹没了北京．【解答】1．known．考查固定搭配及非谓语．be known as…以……而出名/闻名．此处是形容词作country的后置定语，故要用形容词known．句意：北京曾经是一个自行车城，它是一个被称为自行车王国的首都，故填known．2．However，考查连词．根据文章内容可知，本空前后是转折关系，然而，几十年的显著经济增长导致了城市的巨大流动．故填However．3．requirement，考查名词．a for marriage．本空前是不定冠词a，故要用名词，故填reguire 的名词requirement．4．．creating，考查非谓语作结果状语．As the economy boomed，autos pushed bikes off the roads，4 （create）heavy pollution and miserable traffic．随着经济的繁荣，汽车代替了自行车，这造成了严重污染和令人痛苦的交通．Create的逻辑主语是前面的复合句，即前面的经济繁荣让汽车代替了自行车造成了污染和交通，因此导致后面的结果，故填主动形式creating．5．have flooded/have been flooding，考查现在完成时．由since ，（"自从"），引导的状语从句是过去时/过去的时间，主句要用现在完成时．故填have flooded/have been flooding．6．for，考查固定搭配．Offer for "出价"，"以…..出售"．许多当地居民欢迎共享自行车的灵活性和他们提供的自由．而本题有可能有人错填to．因为共享的自行车要花钱才能使用，故要用offer for，Offer sb．sth．＝off sth．to sb．主动提供某人某物．故填for．7．them，考查人称代词．them指代前面所提到的自行车（bikes），故填复数them．8．that，定语从句的关系代词．there are three factors 8 contribute to the sudden increase of bikes．本句中先行词是three factors 在定语从句中作主语，指物的既可用that或which，故填that．9．worse，考查比较级．句意：随着城市人口的增长，交通拥堵变得（比以前）更糟糕．指比以前要更糟糕，故填bad的比较级worse．10．an，考查冠词．句意：以一种环保的方式．表数量，且environmentally是以元音开头，故填an．【点评】本题主要考查了用单词或短语的适当形式填空．做本题的关键是在理解短文的基础上，灵活运用所学的基础知识．本题考到的知识点有：固定的短语，词类的转换，名词的复数形式，副词以及祈使句的用法等．因此，这就需要在平时的学习中，牢固掌握各语言点及一些语法知识．第二节完形填空（共20

soon as a person dies，decomposition（分解）begins．And the first visitors arrive．"Within 5to 15 minutes of death，flies or other insects begin to colonize the body．"says Rabi Musah，an organic chemist at the University at Albany．She says different species turn up at different stages of decomposition．"So because of that，depending upon what entomological（昆虫学的）evidence you find，you can learn something about when the person died in terms of the timing of the death．"Flies don't tend to stick around when disturbed by detectives．But they do leave behind eggs．The eggs are hard to tell apart by appearance alone，so specialists raise them until they hatch，a few weeks later﹣and they get a species ID and，with a little guesswork，a person's time of death．But Musah has come up with a more time﹣saving approach：chemical analysis of the eggs．She and her team investigated that method by first harvesting flies with pig﹣liver traps hidden throughout New York City．They collected the trapped flies and then chemically analyzed their eggs．And it turns out each species of fly egg has a unique chemical fingerprint﹣enough to tell the eggs apart without raising the eggs to maturity．The study is in the journal Analytical Chemistry．Musah and her colleague Jennifer Rosati are now testing the method on a real case．"And once we do that we will be publishing some case studies to illustrate（阐明）that this is a method that can be used，and hopefully eventually it's something that will stand up in court，and something that could speed up detective work﹣or help deal with a cold case．"（1）Which of the following can best replace the underlined word "colonize" in paragraph 1？DA．look forB．fight overC．carry awayD．gather on（2）How can a specialist know a person's time of death？BA．By researching the habitual nature of flies．B．By relying on the entomological evidence．C．By distinguishing the appearance of flies．D．By discovering a new detective method．（3）What can we infer about Musah's approach from the last paragraph？C A．Scientists have published studies about it．B．It is bound to make every cold case solved．C．It may help accelerate the detection of cases．D．It will be published in Analytical Chemistry．（4）Where most probably can you see this article？BA．In a science fiction．B．In a newspaper．C．In a medical paper．D．In a novel．【分析】本文讲述科学家认为苍蝇会为验尸提供证据．【解答】1﹣﹣﹣4DBCB1．D，考查词义猜测题，根据第一段：As soon as a person dies，decomposition（分解）begins．And the first visitors arrive人一死亡，分解过程就开始了．参与分解的首批访客也随之而来，可知D选项表示"聚集"是对的．2．B，考查事实细节题，根据第二段：depending upon what entomological（昆虫学的）evidence you find，you can learn something about when the person died in terms of the timing of the death．"可知依靠昆虫学的证据，可以判断一个人的死亡时间．所以选B．3．C，考查推理判断题，根据最后一段的内容：现在，穆萨和同事詹妮弗•罗萨蒂将在一个真实案例上测试这种方法．"进行测试以后，我们将发表一些案例研究结果，以证明这种方法可行，希望它最终成为在法庭上站得住脚的证据．"而且这种方法还能提高破案效率，或在破解悬案上提供帮助．可知C选项正确．4．B，考查推理判断题，根据本文的大意：科学家认为苍蝇会为验尸提供证据，可知不是科幻小说，也不是医学论文，也不是小说，所以选B，是报纸的一篇报道．【点评】阅读理解解题步骤：首先对原文材料迅速浏览，掌握全文的主旨大意．因为阅读理解题一般没有标题，所以，速读全文，抓住中心主旨很有必要，在速读的过程中，应尽可能多地捕获信息材料．其次，细读题材，各个击破．掌握全文的大意之后，细细阅读每篇材料后的问题，弄清每题要求后，带着问题，再回到原文中去寻找、捕获有关信息．要善于抓住每段的主题句，阅读时，要有较强的针对性．对于捕获到的信息，要做认真分析，仔细推敲，理解透彻，只有这样，针对题目要求，才能做到稳、准．4．（6分）Welcome to the 2017 UK Festival AwardsThe UK Festival Awards & Conference is an opportunity to recognize the hard work，vision and creativity of the nation's beloved festival industry．Throughout the day of the event，the Conference invites numerous industry insiders（行家）to discuss the issues most relative to the sector，reviewing its immediate past and portending to the future．The evening's Awards present a wide range of honors across categories that are decided via a combination of public voting and professional judgments．Since launching in 2004 it has evolved into a major event at The Roundhouse in London，giving the industry a chance to collectively celebrate and fondly reflect upon the achievements of the past year．With a gourmet dinner，gala awards ceremony and after﹣show party，it attracts over 1，000 of the most influential people in the business．Along with its sister events，the UK Festival Conference and the European Festival Awards，The UK Festival Awards & Conference is owned and produced by Festival Awards Ltd，an independent company founded in the UK．Awards include Best Major，Medium﹣Sized and Small Festival，Best Family Festival，Best Overseas Festival，Best Use of New Technology，and of course ﹣Best Toilets．As the festival season is approaching，we thought it'd be a good time to release our free UK Festival Market Report for 2015 / 2016．We gathered the data in our annual census（人口普查）undertaken in the preparation stage for last year's UK Festival Awards．The latest UK Festival Market Report can be downloaded below．Included in the Report is a bunch of related information

It is a big moment for me personally,” Holmwood told Xinhua from her home in Sweden. “If you are a fan of Lord Of The Rings and are looking for the next best thing, A Hero Born is definitely the book for you,” Waterstone, one of Britain’s biggest chain bookstores, said on its website.Jin Yong(1924-2018) is the pen name of Louis Cha. He is one of the best-selling Chinese authors with over 300 million copies of his works sold in the Chinese-speaking world.Despite their popularity, only few of Jin Yong’s martia l arts novels have been translated into English. The Legends of the Condor Heroes, one of his most well-known works, covers the Song Dynasty and features hundreds of characters, telling a story full of gravity-defying kung fu, treachery, loyalty and love.Holmwood, who has also translated works by other contemporary Chinese authors, said she became very involved in the details and admired Jin Yong’s brilliant writing. As a fan of Chinese classical poetry and literature, she recommended Jin Yong’s novels to a book agent in 2012. “It was mainly because of the quality of the writing and also because of his status in Chinese culture. The publisher in Britain was very excited to see there was such a big beloved author who still hadn’t been translated into English, at least not by a trade publisher,” she recalled.“Of course it does make me nervous that the translation will be read against the original in a way that most translations don’t. So I have taken on the task with a humble heart,” she said.The Times called the book she translated “hugely entertaining” and selected it as Book of the Month.34.What can we learn from the passage?A.Jin Yong’s Legends of the Condor Heroes was published on Thursday.B.With the pen name Louis Cha, Jin Yong is the best-selling Chinese author.C.A Hero Born is considered as successful as Lord Of The Rings.D.Anna Holmw ood has translated most of Jin Yong’s brilliant novels.35.What’s the attitude of Holmwood towards Jin Yong?A. GratefulB. IndifferentC. CriticalD. Admiring36.In the second paragraph “commissioned” probably means_____.A.appointedB. advocatedC. distributedD. begged37.Where is the text probably taken from?A. A book review.B. A news report.C. A magazine.D. A martial arts novel.CWhen it's five o'clock, people leave their office. The length of the workday, for many workers, it defined by time. They leave when the clocks tells them they’re done.These days, the time is everywhere: not just on clocks or watches, but on cellphones and computers. That may be a bad thing, particularly at work. New research shows that clockClock-timers organize their day by blocks of minutes and hours. For example: a meeting from 9 a. m. to 10 a. m, research from 10 a. m to noon, etc. On the other hand, task-timers have a list of things they want to accomplish. They work down the list, each task starts when the previous task is completed. It is said that all of us employ a mix of both these types of planning.What, then, are the effects of thinking about time in these different ways? Does one make us more productive? Better at the tasks at hand? Happier? In experiments conducted by Tamar Avnet and Anne-Laure Sellier, they had participants organize different activitiesfrom project planning, holiday shopping, to yoga-by time or to-do list to measure how they performed under “ clock time” vs “ task time”. They found clock timers to b e more efficient(有效率的) but less happy because they felt little control over their lives. Task timers are happier and more creative, but less productive. They tend to enjoy the momentwhen something good is happening, and seize opportunities that come up.The researchers argue that task-based organizing tends to be undervalued and under-supported in the business culture. This might be a small change to the way we view work and the office, but the researchers argue that it challenges a widespread characteristic of the economy; work organized by clock time. While most people will still probably need, and be, to some extent, clock-timers, task-based timing shouldbe used when performing a job that requires more creativity. It’ll make those tasks easier, and the t ask-doers will be happier.38. What does the author say a clock-based work?A. It makes workers very tired.B. It reminds workers to leave on time.C. It makes workers aware of the precious time.D. It may have a bad effect on the creativity.39. What does the underlined word “hinder”in paragraph 2 mean?A. Block.B. Consider.C. Increase.D. Value.40. What did Tamar Avnet and Anne-Laure Sellier find in their experiments about clock-timers?A. They seize opportunities as they come up.B. They always get their work done in time.C. They tend to be more productive.D. They can control their lives.41. What do the researchers suggest?A. Task-based timing is preferred for doing creative work.B. It is important to keep a balance between work and life.C. Performing creative jobs tends to make workers happier.D. A scientific standard should be adopted in job evaluation.DGiven the recent interest in green buildings in the media, let’s think differently. Instead of focusing on increasing the supply of energy, what if we focus on reducing demand?Can we start with ending the open-door practice of street-front shops? While cool air fromthese shops is refreshing to pedestrians, it carries a cost. Energy is used in the air conditioning process.So it must be possible to look for changes in regulations that would encourage more energy-saving designs. For instance, if we fix ceiling fans, air-conditioning homes could surely be avoided for part of the year. Ceiling fans use far less energy. They were in a year air conditioners could stay if ceiling fans were fixed.In homes built under the small-house policy in New Territories, the ceiling may be too low for ceiling fans. If the 9-meter maximum building height regulation were relaxed, ceiling fans could be fixed to reduce energy use. Currentthinking in sustainable building design and operation involves integrated(协调统一的) design, that is, bring together all parties to create a building with better performance that achieves energy reduction.For integrated design to succeed, all parties must come together and think beyond eachperson’s circle of influence. Better solutions are impossible to avoid with integrated design. Buildings would no longer be engineered after the basic architecture was built. Positive project outcomes may include reduced air-conditioning load, reduced power use for electric lighting, and a reduction in the amount of materials used.We need to ask if we are ready to look beyond our own small circles and seek an improved approach to building design. By that I mean an integrated design resulting in more sustainable buildings.42. What's the author's attitude towards the open-door practice of the street shops?A. Supportive.B. Disapproving.C. Optimistic.D. Uncaring.43. Why does the author suggest fixing ceiling fans?A. To follow an old practice.B. To help reduce energy use.C. To completely replace air conditioners.D. To help cut down on daily expenses.44. What's the key to making sustainable buildings a reality?A. All parties should get started at the same time.B. The basic architecture should be finished first.C. Properdesign and performance to achieve energy reduction.D. Seeking the small-house policy and some successful architects.45. What would be the best title for the text?A. Waste less, live betterB. Goodbye, air conditioningC. How to reduce the energy costD.
