河南2017英语高考真题
河南2017英语高考真题河南2017英语高考真题DBy now, we are all aware that social media has had a tremendous influence on our culture, in business, on the world-at-large. Social media websites revolutionized the way people communicate and socialize on the Web. However, aside from seeing your friends’ new baby on Facebook, or reading about Justin Bieber’s latest conflict with the law on Twitter, what are some of the real influences?Social networks offer the opportunity for people to re-connect with their old friends and acquaintances, make new friends, share ideas and pictures, and many other activities. Users can keep pace with the latest global and local developments, and participate in campaigns and activities of their choice. Professionals use social media sites like LinkedIn to enhance their career and business development. Students can work together with their peers to improve their academic and communication skills.Unfortunately, there are a few downsides too to social networking. If you are not careful, immoral people can target you for cyber bullying and disturbance on social sites. School children, young girls, and women can fall victim to online attacks which can create tension and suffering. If you are a victim of cyber bullying, do not take it lying down, but try to take appropriate legal action against the attacker.Many companies have blocked social networks as addicted employees can distract themselves on such sites, instead of focusing on work. In fact, studies show that British companieshave lost billions of dollars per year in productivity because of social media addiction among employees.Also, what you carelessly post on the Net can come back to trouble you. Revealing( 泄露) personal information on social sites can make users vulnerable(易受伤害的)to crimes like identity theft, stalking, etc. Many companies perform a background check on the Web before hiring an employee. If a potential employee has posted something embarrassing on social media, it can greatly affect their chances of getting the job. The same holds true for our relationships too, as our loved ones and friends may get to know if we post something undesirable on social networks.Social media has its advantages and drawbacks as each coin has two sides. It is up to each user to use social sites wisely to enhance their professional and social life, and exercise caution to ensure they do not fall victim to online dangers.67. Paragraph 2 mainly shows that social networks _________.A. benefit users in various waysB. offer offer professionals good chancesC. guide users to make right choices users to make right choicesD. help students finish their homework68. Faced with problems caused by social media, some companies ________.A. take legal action against the attackersB. avoid posting embarrassing informationC. refuse to hire potential addicted employeesD. forbid the use of social networks during work time69. The main purpose of this passage is to _________.A. share experiences in using social mediaB. provide some advice on social problemsC. raise public awareness of social problemsD. remind people to wisely use social media70. Which of the following shows the development of ideas in this passage?I: Introduction P: Point Sp: Sub-point(次要点) C:Conclusion 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。

2017河南省英语高考题及英语联考考试试题(2)
2017河南省英语高考题及英语联考考试试题(2)DEver feel like there aren’t enough hours in the day?A group of time-challenged Canadian women are wishing for a 25-hour clock.Jessie Behan,president of the 25 th Hour Coalition(联盟)which is a group of Canadian women who have changed to a longer day,said the struggle for women to maintain work-1ife balance motivated her to research the body’s natural clock.“Many of my girlfriends are having kids,getting married,and I see the sufferings of dealing all that when you’re a working woman,”she said.“Women like myself are sick of living their lives by a 24-hour clock.”A 2007 study by Charles Czeisler found a switch to longer days could be beneficial,especially for frequent travelers,shift workers,astronauts and those who experience trouble sleeping or waking.In a similar study,Czeisler showed the body’s natural clock averages 24 hours and 11 minutes in both young and older people.The current 360-degree clock has 720 minutes,giving each minute 0.5 degree.With the new 25-hour day,30 minutes is added to each 12-hour period making each minute 0.48 degree.While still a relatively small movement—the 25th Hour Coalition has 160 Facebook members,Behan is hoping for large chan ges.“The goal is to get as many women on board;there’s no harm in just trying it out and seeing.If it gets big,maybe the government will decide to standardize it.”A recent online survey by Reader's Digest,which included 150 people in each of the 13 countries,suggests it's not justCanadians looking for longer days.Readers were asked“what would you do with an extra hour”if given a choice between sleep,work,exercise and family time.In Spain,half of respondents(被访者)said they’d like an extra hour in the day to devote to family time.The same was found for respondents in Brazil,the US and Britain,who chose family time over sleep,which came in at a close second.Only in India did work top the list with 50 percent of respondents claiming they could use an extra hour at the office.33.Some Canadian working women are campaigning for the 25-hour day in order to_______.A.have more chances at workB.keep a balance between life and workC.experience something newD.have a better sleep34.Jessie Behan want more women to join the 25 th Hour Coalition because she________.A.intends to make more Facebook friendsB.hopes to get benefits from more peopleC.considers it is harmless to form such an organizationD.thinks it can help those women to realize their dreams35.What is implied in the last paragraph?A.Respondents from most nations want more family time.B.Respondents from developed countries experience more stress.C.Most Canadian respondents claim that they need more family time.D.Indians are the most hardworking of the 13 nations.第二节 (共5小题;每小题2分,满分l0分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项,选项中有两项为多余选项。
2017年河南高考英语试卷答案解析
2017年河南高考英语试卷答案解析2022年河南高考英语试卷第I卷第二部分阅读理解(共两节,满分40分)ASaturday,22 April , 2022年We are currently on a camp-site near Calais, on our way to the UK, and it is pouring with rain. As if gods want to prepare us for the UK at all costs. As if we don't know what rain is... Our ferry to the green isles will leave tomorrow at 10.30 and despite the rain, I am really looking forward to it.It has taken us a while to get here, as we already left El Chorro on 4 April. After rushing through Spain in two days, however, we came to an inevitable slow-down when we entered France. Inevitable, as France has simply too much to offer for us. So as soon as we crossed the Pyrenees, our driving sequence became something like driving a few kilometres, visiting a castle, driving a few kilometres, taking pictures of a nice church, driving a few kilometres, having a quick peek at a fleas market, driving a few1/ 19kilometres, visiting a museum etc. When we entered Brittany the real sightseeing started, in Vannes, in Lorient, in Brest and then on to Normandy: Le Mont St Michel, Bayeux and finally, finally the D-Day beaches. I always wanted to visit these, for obvious reasons I would say, but my father, realistic as he was, calculated the chances that it would rain a considerable amount of days of a three-week holiday and always decided against it. But a few days ago I finally stepped onto Gold Beach (where the Brits landed) and I was greeted by the Norman sun. A beautiful day.21. It was _____ when the writer was on his way to the UK.A. pouringB. foggyC. snowyD. sunny22. According to the passage, the Pyrenees must be a place in_____.A. SpainB. FranceC. NetherlandD. Normandy23. Which of the following statement is NOT true?A. They spent 2 days in Spain traveling.B. The writer thought France has a lot of places to visit.C. The writer thought the real sightseeing was in E1 Chorro, and in Brest.D. The writer’s father was a realistic person.24. The passage probably comes from _______.2/ 19A. a travel journalB. a science fictionC. a news reportD. a film reviewBWilkie Collins was born in London in 1824 and his first novel -- a historical romance called“Anatonia” -- was published when he was 26. Shortly after this he met Charles Dickens, and they formed a close friendship that lasted for ten years and influenced both men's writing. Collins went on to publish 25 novels as well as many short stories, plays and works of non-fiction. However, he is most well known for the two mystery novels “The Woman in White” and “The Moonstone”.Collins published both mysteries as serials in All the Year Round. When it appeared in the magazine in 1860, “The Woman in White” was so popular that it became the subject of a song and a play. It even influenced fashion, and many women started to dress in white. Eight years later “The Moonstone” was published and earned Collins the title “the father of the modern English detective novel". T S Elliot, another famous writer, said that The Moonstone was the "first and greatest of English detective novels", and it is still admired by modern crime writers today.An author of many mysteries, Dorothy L Sayers considered3/ 19“The Moonstone” to be "probably the finest detective story everwritten", and many people agree with her. There are several reasons why they think so. One is that Collins uses different characters to tell each section of the story. The characters have very different personalities and voices, which are interesting and often amusing. There are also several features of the plot which started trends in mystery writing. For example, many detective stories are set in a country house, where the theft must have been committed by one of the people in the house. The character of a famous detective with an unusual appearance and habits occurs in many books, and an innocent person is often under suspicion at first. A number of modern films have also used the idea of a cursed jewel stolen from a religious statue. And of course, in The Moonstone and most other good mystery novels, the person who at first seems the least likely to be the criminal turns out to be guilty.25. Anatonia was published in ________.A. 1824B. 1850C. 1860D. 186826. All the Year Round was a title of ____.A. one of Wilkie Collins’ booksB. one of Charles Dickens’books4/ 19C. a story of a magazineD. a magazine27.Collins is known as the father of the modern English detective novel because_______.A. he was older than the other detective story writers.B. his son was also a famous detective story writer.C. many aspects of his writing are copied by other detective story writers.D. the Moonstone is the most popular detective story.CA decade-long study, also the first major research into air pollution and disease has shown that living near a main road increases the risk of dementia(痴呆). The study of 6.6 million people found that one in 10 dementia deaths in people living within 50 metres of a busy road was due to waste gas and noise.Air pollution is already known to contribute to the deaths of around 40,000 people in Britain each year by worsening breathing and heart conditions, while previous research showed emissions (排放物) can cause brain shrinkage. But the new study by Canadian public health scientists is the first to find a link between living close to heavy traffic and the increasing of dementia, a discovery described as "believable" and "impressive"by British experts.5/ 19Dr Hong Chen said. "Our study suggests that busy roads could be a source of environmental stressors that could give rise to the onset of dementia. Population growth and urbanization has placed many people close to heavy traffic, and with widespread exposure to heavy traffic and growing rates of dementia, even a modest effect from near-road exposure could cause a large public health burden. More research to understanding this link is needed, particularly into the effects of different aspects of traffic, such as air pollutants and noise."In the new study, the team tracked all adults aged between 20 and 85 living in Ontario for more than a decade from 2022年to 2022年. They used postcodes to determine how close people lived to a main road and analyzed medical records to see if they went on to develop dementia, Parkinson's disease or multiple sclerosis(多发性硬化).While there was no correlation between living near a road and Parkinson's disease or multiple sclerosis, dementia risk reduced as people lived further from a main road, with a 7 percent higher risk in developing dementia among those living within 50 metres; a 4 percent higher risk at 50-100 metres and a6/ 192 percent higher risk at 101-200 metres. After 200 metres there was no increase. Researchers believe that noise of traffic may also play a role in the raised risk as well as other urban pollution, which is often present near busy roads.28.What can we know about Canadian's new study?A. British experts think highly of it.B. It brings benefits to dementia patients.C. It shows that air production is very serious.D. It shows that air pollution can cause brain shrinkage.29. What Dr Hong Chen said showed that______.A. people are diagnosed with dementia mainly due to air pollutionB. widespread exposure to traffic will reduce the risk of having dementiaC. the link between living near roads and having dementia was not obviousD. busy roads could be a source of environmental stressors that caused dementia to increase30. What does the underlined the word ‘correlation’ mean?A. Change.B. Improvement.C. Association.D. Secret31. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?7/ 19A. Living near a main road adds to the risk of noise.B. Living beyond 300 metres of a main road is safe for people.C. Living within 200 metres of a main road has a lower risk of having dementia.D. The further people live away from heavy traffic, the smaller the risk of having dementia.DMany scholarships require that you write an essay in order to be considered for the prize money. However, if you are the sort of person that has a headache whenever you have to complete a writing assignment, this may not be the best news. Luckily for you, there is no reason to fear the scholarship essay. The following tips could help you conquer this not-so-easy aspect of the scholarship application process.You should always outline your essays. This does not just apply to the scholarship essays, either. An outline helps lend focus to your thoughts and helps you create a picture of the “whole” that the essay will become. Judges cannot to stand when your writing is loose, lacks coherence(连贯性)or when you fail to connect your main points together. They want to see that you can support your argument well with clear and brief examples andthat these examples do, in fact, relate to the topic at hand.8/ 19If you have a choice in the topic you get to write about, always try to select something you are personally interested in. Don't write what you think the judges want to hear. This will only amount in an essay that reads like someone else’s, which is not a great way to make yourself stand out.If you feel bored with the topic, then your essay will be boring as well. Make sure your idea follow a clear and a logical path. This means they are connected well and the transitions(过渡) easily flow from one idea to the next. Likewise, try to stay away from the obvious or the sad story. Yes, college will be a life-changing experience, but can you think of an interesting reason why this is so? And yes, it is terrible that you lost a family member at a young age, but what does it have to do with winning this scholarship? Judges can smell sad stories from a mile away, so only pull at the heartstrings(动人心弦) if you have a proper reason for doing so.32.When writing a scholarship essay, an outline is necessary because it helps you_____.A. focus on the details of the essayB. think more about the scholarship9/ 19C. make a picture of the whole essayD. support your argument well33. Your essay will be appreciated by judges if it _______.A. turns out to be looseB. is short of coherenceC. is unable to connect to the main pointsD. supports your argument with brief examples34. What is the author’s opinion on choosing the topic for a scholarship essay?A. The essay should include the obvious or the sad story.B. You must keep your mind clear and logical.C. You had better try to put an interesting story in it.D. Try to say as much as you can about your family.35. The intended readers of the passage are probably________.A. college studentsB. judges in collegesC. essay readersD. company leaders第一节(共15小题;每小题2分,满分30分)阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项中,选出最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该选项涂黑。

AThe owners of a restaurant in Alaska won international praise after defending their clerk with autism (孤僻症). Autism is a disorder that makes relationships and talking to others difficult. When the clerk delivered the wrong food to a customer’s house, that customer reacted severely and unkindly. Even after the clerk corrected the mistake, the customer continued to yell. He also abused the restaurant owners’ daughter, using “dirty language”.Restaurant owners Lily and her husband Michael Smith “fired” the customer. They added the customer to the restaurant’s “Do Not Deliver” list. That customer is now an unwelcome person. Lily said the clerk had worked at the Little Italy Restaurant in Alaska for two years. She said the clerk was very upset about the angry customer. Lily described the clerk as a seriously gifted university student who was curious about the world. She added that the clerk also had “an amazing personality”,great sense of humor and apositive work attitude.Reached at home by the Voice of America, Lily said she was happy about the positive comments she and her husband had been receiving and this clerk was also one who would not have to deal with that “rude customer” any more.By Tuesday afternoon, her Facebook posting about the incident received more than 30,000 “Likes” and hundreds of positive comments.

A Restaurant “Fires” a Customer for Yelling at its ClerkB. A Gifted University Student Serves in a RestaurantC. A Customer Annoyed the Restaurant Owners to CryD. An Incident Catches the Eyes throughout the WorldBAncient people knew that some kinds of clay have qualities to cure. They applied clay to their skin to cover wounds. They also used the natural rock or soil material to treat stomach problems.Now, American researchers have discovered how different clays work as medicine. Blue and green clays are found in volcanic areas of the world. Around volcanoes, native peoples used the clays to improve their health. It seems they knew what they were doing.Lynda Williams is a clay and mineral scientist. She and her research team have been studying the native people of Australia. “There is evidence of the natives using clays for treating wounds and they eat them. Many cultures eat clays to settle their stomach.”Williams and her team found the clay was effective against some bacteria that cause diseases. In laboratory tests, they saw how a blue-colored clay is effective against MRS A, a dangerous and sometimes deadly skin infection (感染). The clay was also effective in treating Buruli ulcer, a skin disease found in the Ivory Coast.Here is how the blue clay works. Iron is one of the chemicals found in the clay. The bacteria need the iron to survive. Some of these same clays also contain aluminum. The minerals work together. Aluminum attacks the proteins (蛋白质)in the cell wall of the bacterium, lets iron flood into harmful bacteria and has reactions with the protein inside. The iron oxidizes (氧化)inside and then kills the bacteria.Williams says she hopes the study will interest drug companies that want to explore the medicalfunctions of blue and green clays.5. Williams and her team have found that clays have a good effect on_.A. treating woundsB. stomach painsC. skin diseasesD. improving health6. What kills the bacteria in the body according to the text?A.

What does the text mainly talk about?A. Ancient people knew the functions of clays.B. Clays are found in volcanic areas.C. How volcanic clays kill bacteria.D. Why people used clays to treat diseases.CEarlier this year, the price on the best-selling book, The Girl on the Train,was reduced from $11.99 to $1.99 for one day only.

It’s bigger than Texas and growing. The way to clean it up now is to trap it with a net. That is both costly and slow. Instead, the Ocean Cleanup Project comes up with a 62-mile-long floating barrier that can use natural currents (潮流)to trap rubbish. If next year’s trials succeed, a full cleanup operation would aim to start in 2020. It could reduce the rubbish by 42% over 10 years.Easy-On ShoesIn 2012, Matthew Walzer, a high school student with a disability, sent a note to Nike. “My dream is to go to college without having to worry about someone coming to tie my shoes every day.” Nike appointed a design team to the challenge. This year, they came out with their solution: the Flyease Style. The basketball shoe can be fastened with one hand. The idea came from “opening and closing a door,”says Tobie Hatfield, t he shoe’s head designer.The Underground Park The Lowline is an abandonedtrolleybus terminal in New York City. Barasch and architect James Ramsey are trying to turn it into green space. The key: a system that captures sunlight from surrounding rooftops and sends it underground. The light helps plants grow.

Reading ComprehensionSection ADirections: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blankwith the word or phrase that best fits the context.Ask Siri if she’s a woman. Go ahead: try it. She'll tell you she’s____41____. “Like cacti, a certain species of fish,” she might say. So is Amazon’s Alexa, Microsoft’s Cortana, Samsung’s S Voice, and Google Now. But, man, do they ever sound a lot like women? ____42____, we think of them as ladies too. In Old Norse(古挪威语), Siri translates to “a beautiful woman who leads you to v ictory”. We assign female pronouns to them, and, in turn, they fold female turns of phrase into their robotic and occasionally silly answers to our requests.If we prize gender diversity(多样性) in other areas of daily life, why does our tech sound so____43____? The biggest reason for the female phone fixation rests in social science. “Research indicates there’s likely to be greater acceptance of female____44____,” says Karl MacDorman, a professor at Indiana University who specializes in human computer interaction. MacDorman and his team played clips of male and female voices to people of both genders, then asked them to identify which they____45____. The researchers also measured the way participants responded to the voices. In a 2011 paper, they reported that both women and men said female voices came across as warmer. ____46____, women even showed a subconscious preference for responding to females; men remained subconsciously neutral.Why the____47____? Stanford University communications professor Clifford Nass wrote that people tend to see female voices as helping them solve their problems by themselves, while they view male voices as authority figures who tell them the answers to their problems. We want____48____ to help us, but we also want to be the boss of it, so we are more likely to choose afemale interface(接口程序).This tendency suggests that companies will make a better impression on a ____49____ group of customers with a woman's voice. But not just any voice. It has to ____50____ a brand’s personality. For help with that, companies often turn to Greg Pal, vice president of marketing, strategy, and business development at Nuance Communications, which licenses its ____51____of more than 100 voices. Pal insists that some brands choose male speakers. He turned on his iPhone and pulled up the Domino's Pizza app, which has an assistant, Dom. He sounded like a high school English teacher--educated and helpful but not ____52____. That's about right for a brand attempting to ____53____ guys ordering pies before the big game.As voice technology improves, though, designers say diversity will too. Many devices already letyou ____54____ a voice interface. For example. Homer Simpson, a famous cartoon character can tell you where to take a left on our GPS device. And Siri can become a sir, if you take the time to____55____. Want to know how to do it? Ask her. She'll tell you in her uniquely warm, helpful--and female--tone.41.

A. educate B. customize C. leave D. answer55. A. repeat B. assist C. reprogram D. communicateSection BDirections:Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A. B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)This is the opening of a short story in a town in the United States by Alison Randall …When Frank and I stepped through the post office doors. there was a crowd gathered, looking at the new device on the wall with amazement like a crowd of wide-mouthed frogs. I had to get closer. and that was where being a girl that’s skinnier than a wire fence came in handy. Fortunately, Frank, my twin of eleven years, was just the same.“Come on.” I said, grabbing his hand, and we slid through the cracks between people until we spilled out in front.Finally I got a good look. It was fixed to the plaster(石灰板) next to the postmaster's window, the place of honour usually reserved for the Wanted posters. Beady-eyed Zedekiah Smith, the bank robber, still hung there, but even he had been pushed aside for something more important.A telephone. The first one in town.“How’s it work?” Noah Crawford called out. Noah’s the best fix-it man around, and I could tell he was dying to get his fingers on those shiny buttons.“Don’t rightly know,” answer the postmaster, and he pulled hard at his beard as if it might tell him. “I do know the sound of your voice moves along wires strung on poles. It’s sort of like the telegraph, only you hear words instead of dots and dashes.”“Ah,” the crow d whispered, and I felt my own mouth move along.I gazed at the shiny wood box and something happened inside me. Something--I can only guess--that might be like falling in love. The thought of talking into that box--of making my voice sail through wires in the sky--it took over my brain. I couldn't get it out.“Frank,” I whispered to my twin. “I have to use that telephone.”Five minutes later, Frank dragged me to Main Street, toward borne. “Liza--” he began, but I cut him off. We two thought so much alike, I had Frank’s questions answered before he even asked.56. People crowded in the post office because________.A. a new poster grabbed their attentionB. the postmaster was delivering a speechC. they were curious about the telephoneD. there was a wanted bank robber captured57. Which of the following is not true according to the passage?A. Many people stared at the new device in open-mouthedamazement.B. The slight-figured twins managed to push to the front of the crowd.C. Even the best fix-it may in the town got no idea about the new device:D. The postmaster didn’t know anything about how the telephone worked.58. By “…it took over my brain. I couldn't get it out.”, we get a clear picture of the girl’s______.A. eagerness to use the telephoneB. fascination for the wood boxC. puzzlement over the strange soundD. determination to fly in the sky59. What is the passage mainly about?A. The twins’ frustrating experiences in the town.B. A special assembly called in the local post office.C. People’s reaction to the arrival of tile first telephone.D. A great celebration of the start of telephone service.(B)Welcome to the LUSH life!You can rest easy knowing each and every LUSH product is 100% cruelty-free. For over 30 yea rs, we’ve been buying ingredients only from companies that do not conduct tests on animas, and testing our products on human volunteers.Learn more at Naked!When it comes to packaging, less is more--and none is even better!

Cosmetics are among the essentials of our lives in modern society.C. Homegrown vegetables and fruit are natural and reliable sources of cosmetics.D. Social responsibilities of a company can go hand in hand with profit making.(C)Since quitting can start feelings such as guilt and shame, we often do everything possible to avoid it, “We're taught from our earliest days that if you quit something, it means you're a failure," says the psychologist Will Meek. He, however, suggests we view quitting differently.Quitting is like deciding to rearrange a room: you’ve grown comfortable with the status, and it can be hard to picture the end result or even see why change is necessary. And yet, there's the upsetting feeling that you’re no longer entirely satisfied with your current circumstances, perhaps even that you’ve stopped making progress. While it's not out of the question for feelings of regret to surface after a major refit, leaving a position, project or situation can reveal exciting possibilities, making you feel inspired and renewed.Quitting, often happens in situations where we're unhappy, fearful or have determined we have no other choice, factors that can have ill effects on our health. Perhaps you find your work unfulfilling, or you've jumped into a new relationship before you're ready--and, as a result, you're operating under intense pressure. “If stress is endu ring and not managed well, it can start to take a toll,” says Meek. According to the American Psychological Association, long-term, ongoing stress can increase the risk for high blood pressure and heart attack so walking away from whatever is causing it can deliver significant physical and emotional health benefits. “We often see a reduction in the stress hormone cortisol(应激激素皮质醇)”, which can lower blood pressure and may even decrease the heart rate,” says Dr Alex Lickerman, a GP and expert on developing mental adaptability.Leaving situations that fail to bring you joy can leave youwith sufficient time to explore where your heart is truly leading you. In a study that was published in 1999, then Harvard University professor Hermina Ibarra looked at how bankers tried different roles that required new skill sets--someone who spent a lot of time dealing with computers, for instance, was asked to take on personal interactions. Subjects(研究对象) were especially drawn to acting out a version of their future selves through ‘imitation strategies’ -- an approach they compared to ‘trying on different clothes.’ Mark Franklin, the president of CareerCycles, suggests a similar approach as a way to figure out what your true desires might be in your post-quitting life and fore see your future self. “Pretend to be a certain kind of person, or go and meet others who are doing what you want to do,” he says. “Try it on, see how it feels and decide if it's a good fit for you.” It may not feel like it at the time, but just moving on f roma situation that's not quite right can help you get back on track.63. It can be inferred from paragraph 2 that quitting may brim us feelings of being both ________.A. guilty and ashamedB. stupid and enthusiasticC. troubled and hopefulD. inspired and determined64. The phrase “take a toll” (paragraph 3) can be best replaced by “________”.A. developmental adaptabilityB. bring about changesC. keep up the pressureD. have a bad effect65. An approach suggested by Mark Franklin similar to ‘trying on different clothes’ is for________.A. helping people find what truly suits them in careerB. telling capable employees from inadequate onesC. training employees to acquire different working skillsD. providing people with opportunities to have a role play66. It can be concluded from the passage that________.A. quitting is a track that only the timid will choose to followB. personal interaction can be a must for reducing emotional pressureC. mental adaptability can be improved by the stress hormone cortisolD. knowing when to stop is wise and may make dreams happenSection CDirections: Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.A. Scientists use indirect methods to discover exoplanets.B. Most exoplanets are very different from the ones in our solar system.C. As the star moves unsteadily, it changes the wavelength of the light we see.D. Astronomers have detected signals indicating the presence of a planet.E. However, we have developed the technology to prove their existence only in the last few decades.F. Direct detection of the visible light from giant planets in space is becoming increasingly possible.Exoplanets(外行星): The Hunt Is OnToday scientists believe that planets could outnumber the stars. For centuries, scientists and natural philosophers have proposed that stars in the night sky have planetary systems similar to our own solar system. The existence of extrasolar planets, or exoplanets, has long been discussed. 67 Although not the first exoplanet discovery. a planet near a sun-like star wasdiscovered by astronomers in 1995. This kicked off an era of exoplanet hunting, with thousands of discoveries and confirmations following in its wake.68 However, in 2015 NASA’s Kepler space telescope found its first Earth-sized planet in a “habitable” zone. This is the distance from a star where surface temperatures of a planet wouldn’t be too hot or too cold for liquid wa ter. So far, only a small slice of our galaxy, the Milky Way, has been explored. Even so, scientists have confirmed over 3,500 exoplanets, with more being added every day.To detect exoplanets, scientists use data from a variety of sources. Larne ground-based telescopes, earth-circling and sun-circling satellites all collect different types of information. Because exoplanets are so far away and very close to stars, it is very difficult to see them directly. 69 For example, when an exoplanet moves between its star and us, it causes a small drop in the star’s brightness. Measuring this drop is the transit(凌日) method of discovery. NASA’s Kepler space telescope has discovered many exoplanets this way.As a planet circles a star, it pulls on it and causes it to shake.70 Measuring these slight changes is the radial velocity(径向速度) method of discovering planets. It is one of the most productive methods for finding and confirming exoplanets.These are just two examples of the many methods scientists use in their hunt for exoplanets, hoping for more information and enhanced detail. As time progresses and technology improves, who knows what else we may find!IV. Summary WritingDirections: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60words. Use your own words as far as possible.HopeNothing in my life had prepared me for what I had to do. Choosing my words carefully, and fighting to stay calm, I told my 4-year-ofd daughter that her grandmother had suffered a stroke(中风), that she was unconscious, and that the doctors said she would probably never wake up. As she moved closer to me. Ameba looked at me, eyes bright, and said, “Maybe Grandma will be okay.” “Maybe she will,” I said, keeping back the tears. But I knew better. I was tying up to Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, from our Florida home in the morning to say good-bye to my mom.The rest of that awful week, I joined my brother, and father sitting by my mother’s side in the hospital room. I held her hand and talked to her. I told her that we still needed her. I told her that it wasn’t time to leave yet. I told her how much I loved her. And I told her that her little granddaughter, Amelia, believed that she’d get better. The doctors, with all their years of trai ning and experience, offered no hope for recovery. The damage was simply too extensive.A couple of weeks later, an odd thing happened. Mom woke up! And then she persevered through a long and tough process of restoration to health. during which she had to learn to walk, read, and write all over again, and eventually returned home to Dad. The only one who wasn’t shocked was Amelia. The doctors couldn’t explain it. Amelia didn’t need to. Hope came as naturally to her as breathing.So why are we so afraid to h ope sometimes? Maybe it’s because over the years, life’s disappointments can turn us to disillusionment(理想破灭). How many times have you heardsomeone say: “Hope for the best, expect the worst”? That’s not really hope at all.Hope is being able to look at our world with all of the joy and wonder of a child.________ _______ _______ _______ _________ ________________ _______ _______ _______ _________ ________________ _______ _______ _______ _________ ________V.

Trying to help injured, displaced or sick creatures can be heartbreaking; survival is never certain. However, when it works, it is simply beautiful.I got a rescue call from a woman in Muttontown. She had found a young owl(猫头鹰) on the ground. When I arrived, I saw a 2-to 3-week-old owl. It had already zxxk.been placed in a carrier for safety.I examined the chick(雏鸟) and it seemed fine. If I could locate the nest, I might have been able to put it back, but no luck. My next work was to construct a nest and anchor it in a tree.The homeowner was very helpful. A wire basket was found. I put some pine branches into the basket to make this nest safe and comfortable. I placed the chick in the nest, and it quickly calmed down.Now all that was needed were the parents, but they were absent. I gave the homeowner a recording of the hunger screams of owl chicks. These advertise the presence of chicks to adults; they might also encourage our chick to start calling as well. I gave the owner as much information as possible and headed home to see what news the night might bring.A nervous night to be sure,but sometimes the spirits of nature smile on us all! The homeowner called to say that the parents had responded to the recordings. I drove over and saw the chick in the nest looking healthy and active. And it was accompanied in the nest by the greatest sight of all — LUNCH!The parents had done their duty and would probably continue to do so.24.What is unavoidable in the author’s rescue work according ro paragraph 1?A.Efforts made in vain.B.Getting injured in his work.C.Feeling uncertain about his future.D.Creatures forced out of their homes.25. Why was the author called to Muttontown?A.To rescue a woman.B.To take care of a woman.C.To look at a baby owl.D.To cure a young owl.26. What made the chick calm down?A.A new nest.B.Some food.C.A recording.D.Its parents.27.How would the author feel about the outcome of the event?A.It’s unexpected.B.It’s beautiful.C.It’s humorous.D.It’s discouraging.CSome of the world’s most famous musicians recently gathered in Paris and New Orleans to celebrate the first annual International Jazz Day. UNESCO( United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization) recently set April 30 as a day to raise awareness of jazz music, its significance, and its potential as a unifying(联合) voice across cultures.Despite the celebrations, though, in the U.S. the jazz audience continues to shrink and grow older, and the music has failed to connect with younger generations.It’s Jason Moran’s job to help change that. As the Kennedy Center’s artistic adviser for jazz, Moran hopes to widen the audience for jazz, make the music more accessible, and preserve its history and culture.“Jazz seems like it’s not really a part of the American appetite,” Moran tells National Public Radio’s reporter Neal Conan. “What I’m hoping to accomplish is that mu generation and younger start to reconsider and understand that jazz is not black and write anymore. It’s actually color, and it’s actually digital.”Moran says one of the problems with jazz today is that the entertainment aspect of the music has been lost. “The music can’t be presented today the way it was in 1908 or 1958. It has to continue to move, because the way the world works is not the same,” says Moran.Last year, Moran worked on a project that arr anged Fats Waller’s music for a dance party, “Just to kind of put it back in the mind that Waller is dance music as much as it is concert music,” says Moran. “For me, it’s the recontextualization. In m usic, where does the emotion(情感) lie? Are we, as abstract as a Charlie Parker record gets us into a dialogue about our emotions and our thoughts? Sometimes we lose sight that the music has a wider context,”says Moran, “So I want to continue those dialogue. Those are the things I want to foster.”28.Why did UNESCO set April 30 as International Jazz Day?A.To remember the birth of jazz.B.To protect cultural diversity.C.To encourage people to study music.D.To recognize the value of jazz.29.What does the u nderlined word “that” in Paragraph 3 refer to?A.Jazz becoming more accessible.B.The production of jazz growing faster.C.Jazz being less popular with the young.D.The jazz audience becoming larger.30.What can we infer about Moran’s opinion on jazz?A.It will disappear gradually.B.It remains black and white.C.It should keep up with the times.D.It changes every 50 years.31.Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A.Exploring the Future of jazz.B.The Rise and Fall of jazz.C.The Story of a jazz Musician.D.Celebrating the Jazz Day.DA buld-it-yourself solar still(蒸馏器)is one of the best ways to obtain drinking water in areas where the liquid is not readily available. Developed by two doctors in the U.S. Department of Agriculture, it’s an excellent water collector. Unfortunately, you must carry the necessary equipment with you, since it’s all but impossible to find natural substitutes. The only components required, though, are a 5’ 5’ sheet of clear or slightl y milky plastic, six feet of plastic tube, and a container— perhaps just a drinking cup — to catch the water. These pieces can be folded into a neat little pack and fastened on your belt.To construct a working still, use a sharp stick or rock to dig a hole four feet across and threefeet deep. Try to make the hole in a damp area to increase the water catcher’s productivity. Place your cup in the deepest part of the hole. Then lay the tube in place so that one end rests all the way in the cup and the rest of the line runs up — and out — the side of the hole.Next, cover the hole with the plastic sheet, securing the edges of the plastic with dirt and weighting the sheet’s center down with a rock. The plastic should now form a cone(圆锥体) with 45-degree-angled sides. The low point of the sheet must be centered directly over, and no more than three inches above, the cup.The solar still works by creating a greenhouse under the plastic. Ground water evaporates (蒸发) and collects on the sheet until small drops of water form, run down the material and fall off into the cup. When the container is full, you can suck the refreshment out through the tube, and won’t have to break down the still every time you need a drink.32.
