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

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 Anytimefor avoiding tax was forced to leave his position after news stories suddenly appeared

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"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 will 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． "（ 1）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 ．（ 2）Which of the following best explains "dethroned" underlined in paragraph 5？A ． rebuiltB ． removedC． destroyedD ． upgraded（ 3）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 ．（4）What can be a suitable title for the text ？A ． No more kilosB ． A heavy technologyD ． The history of measures第二节（满分 10

I told him I was concerned about the damage to my car， as the continuing rain was starting to turn into hail（冰雹）．Trent then grabbed a blanket from his garage and covered my car ．（3）Fortunately ， his efforts saved my car from being damaged by the hail ．By 11 ：00 a．m．， the electricity and phone services had both gone ．（ 4）Trent made me a cup of tea and Kayti gave me a towel to dry myself off．The three of us chatted while waiting for the weather to get better． I learned that Trent had lost his job and was struggling to feed the family ．When the hail stopped ， I shook Trent's hand and kissed Kayti goodbye ．（ 5）I was very moved by their kindness and it renewed my faith in people．As I went out the door ， I asked Trent for two of his business cards ． My father has since called to offer him a

world ， studies have consistently found that girls perform significantly better than boys in reading ． These studies show that girls typically read more frequently than boys，and have a more positive attitude toward reading ．There are several reasons that help explain these gender﹣ based differences． Parents read more with their daughters ． This sends a strong and early message that books are for girls ， as well as equipping girls with a significant advantage．Recent research has found even though boys read less frequently than girls ， girls still receive more encouragement to read from their parents．So how can parents and educators help bridge this socially ﹣ engineered gap for boys' reading？To improve boys' reading performance， parents and educators may look for ways to connect boys with reading ． This has led to discussion about the importance of promoting so ﹣called "boy ﹣ friendly" books that boys supposedly "prefer" ． These are typically assumed to be non﹣fiction works ， as many people believed that boys prefer to read non ﹣ fiction ．But this belief is not supported by recent research ， which in fact suggests boys are more likely to choose to read fiction than non﹣fiction．Encouraging all boys to read non﹣fiction under the mistaken belief that it is their preference may actually be harmful．Fiction readers read more frequently and demonstrate faster language learning and higher language ability ．Besides encouraging more fiction reading ， there are a number of ways that we can help connect boys with books ． Firstly ， don't assume that boys of the same age have the samematerial ， have regular discussions about reading for pleasure in order to keep up with their interests．Schools should also provide access to libraries during lessons throughout the years of schooling ． Girls visit the library in their free time more than boys，and as students move to higher grades they often have less access to libraries during class ． Access to books for boys is essential to promote reading ．In addition ， we should keep paper books available because research shows that boys are less likely to choose to read on screens than girls．Finally we should promote reading as an enjoyable pastime by being a role model． Let your children or students see you read for pleasure．（ 1）According to the author，what is the main cause of the difference in boys'and girls' reading ability ？BA ． Social factors ．B ． Teaching methods．C． Personal preferences．D ． Psychological differences ．（ 2）Why does the author recommend that adults regularly talk to boys about reading ？BA ． To persuade boys to read more often．B ． To learn what boys are most interested in ．C． To help boys improve their language ability ．D ． To show that adults are good reading role models ．（ 3）When should schools give students additional library access according to the author ？CA ． Before and after class．B ． At any time of the school day ．C． At regular times during class ．D ． When they are in the lower grades ．（ 4）What is the main purpose of the text ？DA ． To show students ways to improve their reading ．C． To urge governments to provide more reading resources ．D ． To provide strategies that can help improve boys' reading ability．【考点】 O5：科教类阅读．【分析】本文是提供有助于提高男孩阅读能力的策略．作者建议父母多和男孩子讨论阅读，以此了解男孩子的兴趣爱好．【解答】 BBCD1． B．细节理解题．根据第一段"There are several reasons that help explain these gender ﹣based differences． Parents read more with their daughters ． This sends a strong and early message that books are for girls" 可知，父母对子女的教育方法，是造成男女阅读能力差异的主要原因，通常女儿阅读量更大．故选 A ．2．B ．细节理解题．根据第六段 " To match boys with suitable reading material ， have regular discussions about reading for pleasure in order to keep up with their interests ． " 可知，作者建议父母多和男孩子讨论阅读，以此了解男孩子的兴趣爱好．故选 B ．3． C．细节理解题．根据倒数第二段"Schools should also provide access to libraries during lessons throughout the years of schooling" 可知，根据作者的说法，学校在上课的时间，即上学期间，给学生额外的图书馆资源．故选C．4． D．细节理解题．根据第四段"To improve boys' reading performance "可知，本文是提供有助于提高男孩阅读能力的策略．故选D．【点评】阅读理解考察学生的细节理解和推理判断能力，做细节理解题时一定要找到文章中的原句，和题干进行比较，再做出正确的选择．在做推理判断题不要以个人的主观想象代替文章的事实，要根据文章事实进行合乎逻辑的推理判断．3．（ 8 分） "Anything you want ， anytime you need it ．"The message

reading．These studies show that girls typically read more frequently than boys，and have a more positive attitude toward reading．There are several reasons that help explain these gender﹣based differences．Parents read more with their daughters．This sends a strong and early message that books are for girls，as well as equipping girls with a significant advantage．Recent research has found even though boys read less frequently than girls，girls still receive more encouragement to read from theirparents．So how can parents and educators help bridge this socially﹣engineered gap for boys' reading？To improve boys' reading performance，parents and educators may look for ways to connect boys with reading．This has led to discussion about the importance of promoting so ﹣called "boy﹣friendly" books that boys supposedly "prefer"．These are typically assumed to be non﹣fiction works，as many people believed that boys prefer to read non﹣fiction．But this belief is not supported by recent research，which in fact suggests boys are more likely to choose to read fiction than non﹣fiction．Encouraging all boys to read non﹣fiction under the mistaken belief that it is their preference may actually be harmful．Fiction readers read more frequently and demonstrate faster language learning and higher language ability．Besides encouraging more fiction reading，there are a number of ways that we can help connect boys with books．Firstly，don't assume that boys of the same age have the same interests or that their interests stay the same over time．To match boys with suitable reading material，have regular discussions about reading for pleasure in order to keep up with their interests．Schools should also provide access to libraries during lessons throughout the years of schooling．Girls visit the library in their free time more than boys，and as students move to higher grades they often have less access to libraries during class．Access to books for boys is essential to promote reading．In addition，we should keep paper books available because research shows that boys are less likely to choose to read on screens than girls．Finally we should promote reading as an enjoyable pastime by being a role model．Let your children or students see you read for pleasure．（1）According to the author，what is the main cause of the difference in boys' and girls' reading ability？A．Social factors．B．Teaching methods．C．Personal preferences．D．Psychological differences．（2）Why does the author recommend that adults regularly talk to boys about reading？A．To persuade boys to read more often．B．To learn what boys are most interested in．C．To help boys improve their language ability．D．To show that adults are good reading role models．（3）When should schools give students additional library access according to the author？A．Before and after class．B．At any time of the school day．C．At regular times during class．D．When they are in the lower grades．（4）What is the main purpose of the text？A．To show students ways to improve their reading．B．To explain why boys are not as good at reading as girls．C．To urge governments to provide more reading resources．D．To provide strategies that can help improve boys' reading ability．3．（8分）"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 sale．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．（1）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"．（2）Why did the company choose to send the cards to many news reporters？A．Because it didn't have enough money 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．（3）What did Chris' s research suggest about Anytime？A．It may 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．（4）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．4．（8分）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 will 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．"（1）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．（2）Which of the following best explains "dethroned" underlined in paragraph 5？A．rebuiltB．removedC．destroyedD．upgraded（3）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．（4）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第二节（满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项．选项中有两项为多余选项．5．（10分）It was the 2015 "super storm" in New South Wales that restored my faith in people．During a break in the weather，I stupidly decided to drive into town to buy some groceries．However，as I left the supermarket and drove back，the weather took a turn for the worse．（1）Having nowhere to go，I spotted a young man in his front yard assessing the situation．He quickly waved to me to come and park in his driveway．（2）The man，who introduced himself as Trent，then invited me to wait inside his house with his wife，Kayti and their two daughters．I told him I was concerned about the damage to my car，as the continuing rain was starting to turn into hail （冰雹）．Trent then grabbed a blanket from his garage and covered my car．（3）Fortunately，his efforts saved my car from being damaged by the hail．By 11：00 a．m．，the electricity and phone services had both gone．（4）Trent made me a cup of tea and Kayti gave me a towel to dry myself off．The three of us chatted while waiting for the weather to get better．I learned that Trent had lost his job and was struggling to feed the family．When the hail stopped，I shook Trent's hand and kissed Kayti goodbye．（5）I was very moved by their kindness and it renewed my faith in people．As I went out the door，I asked Trent for two of his business cards．My father has since called to offer him a job as a clerk at his company．A．It began pouring so heavily that I was forced to stop．B．The couple were so modest as I thanked them for their help．C．I was surprised that he didn't ask for anything in return for his assistance．D．I was grateful to escape the running water that was about to drown my car．E．I tried driving faster to escape the heavy downpour that was sure to come．F．As a result，I couldn't contact my parents，despite knowing they'd be worried．G．He was wet but he didn't seem to mind being out in the wild weather on my behalf．第三部分：英语知识运用（共两节）第一节（每小题1.5分，满分30分）阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑．6．（30分）Why study history？People live in the present．They plan for the

广东省茂名市2019届高三英语第一次综合测试卷一、阅读理解 (共4题；共15分)1．（3分）阅读理解Four Free Mobile Apps to Help You Learn English FasterHave you realized that you can put your smartphone to really good use for learning English? Here are 4 free mobile apps that will help you do just that.Hello EnglishIt covers all the aspects of language learning, including vocabulary, translation, grammar, spellings, spoken and reading skills. It uses interactive games to teach different English lessons and offers new audiobooks, latest news, and books. However, you should already understand basic English structures and alphabets, for the app can't help you learn English from scratch(从零开始).DuolingoIf you want to learn English from scratch, then this is the app you are looking for. Duolingo uses interactive games to help you learn English. For beginners, the app focuses on helping you learn verbs, phrases and sentences.LingbeIf you are ready to practice your spoken skills in the real-world, you'll need Lingbe. It's a community-based app where people help each other and share their native languages. It connects you with real people on call who are native English speakers.HelloTalkHelloTalk is similar to Lingbe as it connects you with native speakers to help improve your language skills.

The movement, which is believed to have started in Prince George's school in South London, isn't intended to discourage close friendships, but rather encourage a wider friend group, Greenberg says.“Let's face it. You can't ban somebody from having a close relationship, and you can't really ban somebody from having a best friend but what the schools are trying to do is foster the idea of kids having more than a single friend,” Greenberg said.The idea is to increase the number of interactions a student may have with different members of his or her peer group. “I see kids come in all week long who are feeling awful because they are either nobody's best friend or their best friend has moved on,” Greenberg says.Jay Jacobs, who operates Timber Lake Camp in New York, stresses the downside of not fostering multiple relationships at a young age, for exactly that reason. “I think that there are problems in just having one friend,” Jacobs says. “Remember as you grow up, interests change, and children go in different directions.” Jacobs adds that teachers at Timber Lake, which changes positions between Glen Cove in winter and Shandake in summer, have made it a point to promote a more inclusive environment for years.Jacobs reminds people that, “As you grow up, interests change, and children go in different directions,” so having only one friend can be risky. He holds the belief that children will be better set up for success later in life if they get used to having a wider friend group at a young age. “It's about promoting kindness, looking to children to be kind to one another and to be aware of what it looks like when you're not,” Jacobs says.（1）（1分）Why do schools ban the term “best friends”?A．To make students concentrate on their studies.B．To encourage students to make more friends.C．To prevent students from falling in love at a young age.D．To discourage students from having a close relationship.（2）（1分）Why are some kids feeling awful according to Greenberg?A．Their best friends have moved house.B．They are banned from making best friends.C．They are under great pressure from study.D．Their best friends have started new friendships.（3）（1分）What does the underlined word “downside” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?A．Mistake.B．Difficulty.C．Drawback.D．Burden.（4）（1分）What would be Jay Jacobs' attitude to Greenberg's idea?A．Supportive.B．Doubtful.C．Opposed.D．Unconcerned.3．（4分）阅读理解Scientists are trying to save Puerto Rico's endangered Amazon parrots after Hurricane Maria destroyed the birds' habitats and food sources(来源).El Yunque is a large national forest on the eastern part of Puerto Rico. Just two of the 56 wild parrots that once lived there survived Maria, the Category-4 storm that struck Puerto Rico in September 2017. Scientists report other forests have seen great drops in parrot populations as well.In the 1800s, there were more than a million of the bright green parrots living in the wild in Puerto Rico. By the 1970s, the number was down to just 13 birds after years of forest clearing.A special program was started in 1972 to help increase the parrot population, which led to the creation of three breeding(繁殖) centers. Just weeks before Hurricane Maria hit, scientists counted 56 wild parrots at El Y unque. That was the highest number in the program's history. Scientists say that even though several parrots have been born in captivity(笼养) and in the wild since Maria, the species is still in danger.The Puerto Rican Amazon is the island's only remaining native parrot. More than 460 of the birds are kept inside the breeding centers at El Yunque and the Rio Abajo forest. Scientists have not released(释放) any of the birds since Hurricane Maria. A third breeding center, in a forest in the western area of Maricao, has not been in operation since the storm.Scientists are considering whether to catch some of the remaining wild parrots and put them in the same cage as the birds that are set to be released. This way, the captive birds can learn from the wild birds how to survive in the forests. Another consideration is to release some captive parrots in Maricao, which was not as heavily damaged by Maria.（1）（1分）Why has the parrot population greatly decreased in the past 200 years?A．Because of Hurricane Maria.B．Because of too much hunting.C．Because of the loss of forests.D．Because of lack of breeding centers.（2）（1分）Which of the following is true about Hurricane Maria?A．It killed 56 wild parrots at El Yunque.B．It greatly affected parrots in captivity.C．It reduced the number of wild parrots.D．It led to the creation of three breeding centers.（3）（1分）What can we infer about Amazon parrots in captivity?A．They have the highest number in the history.B．They have been released since Hurricane Maria.C．They are used to living in the wild.D．They are larger in number than those in the wild.（4）（1分）What is the best title for the text?A．Scientists Work to Save Puerto Rican Parrots.B．Amazon Parrots are in Danger of Disappearing.C．A Special Program Helps Increase the Parrot Population.D．Hurricane Maria Reduced the Number of Amazon Parrots.4．（4分）阅读理解Experts like to say the best form of exercise is whatever kind you'll actually do. But that may not always be the case; new research finds that people who combine exercise with their social lives may be at an advantage over solitary（独自）exercisers. Tennis, badminton and soccer are all better for longevity(长寿) than cycling, swimming, jogging or gym exercise, according to the research.The study was based on data from about 8,500 adults who were part of the Copenhagen City HeartStudy. They completed a health and lifestyle questionnaire, which included questions about type and frequency of physical activity, and were monitored by the researchers for around 25 years, a period during which about 4,500 of the subjects died.Tennis came out on top in the research. Compared with people sitting all day, those who reported playing tennis as their main form of exercise could expect to add 9.7 years to their life time, followed by badminton (6.2 years), soccer (4.7 years), cycling (3.7 years), swimming (3.4 years), jogging (3.2 years) and health-club activities (1.5 years).Tennis likely took the top spot because "it's very interactive," says study co-author Dr. JamesO'Keefe, a physician at Saint Luke's Mid America Heart Institute. "At every point you're talking. It's just a very natural way to emotionally bond with people, besides getting your exercise." But he adds that the study may not have been able to fully account for the fact that wealthier, better-educated people—who tend to be healthier to begin with—may be more likely to play tennis.Activities like running and weight lifting still extend your life and offer plenty of other health benefits. But for the best possible benefits, O'Keefe says gym-goers may want to consider combining those workouts with activities that foster social connection.O'Keefe, whose exercise typically includes running and weight lifting, says he's even changed his own behavior because of the study: he and his family have taken up badminton."You can't play badminton without feeling like a kid again," he says. "It's just pure fun."（1）（1分）Which of the following is best for living a long life?A．Cycling.B．Badminton.C．Swimming.D．Gym exercise.（2）（1分）How many people were still living at the end of the research?A．About 8,500.B．About 4,500.C．About 4000.D．About 2500.（3）（1分）What matters most to the result of the research?A．Family life.B．Social connections.C．Frequency of exercise.D．Wealth and education.（4）（1分）What does O'Keefe do after the finding?A．He puts the theory into practice.B．He plays badminton just for fun.C．He feels like playing badminton with kids.D．He takes more exercise than before.二、任务型阅读 (共1题；共5分)5．（5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。
2019年广东一模英语考试作文
2019年广东一模英语考试作文全文共6篇示例，供读者参考篇1My Big Important English TestHi there! My name is Li Ming and I'm a 5th grade student at Sunshine Elementary School in Guangzhou. Today I want to tell you all about the huge English exam I just took called the 2019 Guangdong mock exam. It was a really big deal!A few weeks ago, my English teacher Miss Zhang told us we would be taking a very important English test. She said it would help get us ready for the big exam we take at the end of 6th grade to get into a good middle school. I wasn't too worried at first since I'm pretty good at English. My parents started teaching me some basic English when I was little and I've always enjoyed learning it.But then Miss Zhang started explaining more about just how big this test would be. She said it would have listening, reading, writing, grammar - all the English skills we've been learning rolled into one exam! That's when I started feeling a littlenervous. What if I messed up on part of it? I didn't want one bad section to hurt my whole score.Miss Zhang could see some of us were getting anxious, so she said we would spend the next few weeks reviewing everything for the exam. We did lots of practice test questions and went over sample essays and articles. She had us do mock listening sections too where we had to write what we heard. It was really hard at first!One part I was especially worried about was the writing section. Miss Zhang said we would have to write a short essay of around 100 words, which isn't too long but you have to be able to express your thoughts clearly. The reading was hard too, with passages of 400 words or more to read and answer comprehension questions about. I'm a pretty slow reader in English so I worked on building my reading speed and vocabulary.Finally the day of the big exam came! I was so nervous my stomach felt like it had butterflies fluttering around in it. But Miss Zhang told us to stay calm and just do our best. The exam was split into two sessions, one in the morning and one after lunch.The listening section was first. We had to write down what we heard on recordings for different conversations and passages.I tried my best to catch every word, but there were some parts I probably missed. Next up was the reading section with passages about science, history, and other topics I had to read and answer multiple choice questions on. I felt pretty good about my strategies for reading closely and picking out details.After lunch it was time for the grammar, vocabulary, and writing sections. Grammar has never been my strongest suit so I spent a lot of time going over each of those questions carefully. For the writing, the prompt was "My Favorite Subject" so I wrote about how much I love science and learning about how things work. My hand was getting a little tired from all the writing by the end!When I finally walked out of the exam room, I felt both relieved and exhausted. It was like running a marathon with my brain instead of my body! All that reviewing had helped a lot, but there were still some parts I knew I may have slipped up on.A few weeks later, Miss Zhang handed out our scores for the mock exam. I was nervous opening up my test booklet, but when I saw my score I broke into a huge smile. I got an 89 out of 100! Miss Zhang said that was a fantastic score, especially for such a big exam like this. She told me as long as I kept working hard, I should be really prepared for the final 6th grade exam next year.Even though parts of the mock exam were really difficult, I'm glad we took it. It helped show me what areas I need to work on in English, like building my vocabulary more and getting better at writing longer essays. It was a challenge for sure, but an important one that will help me improve.I know I still have another year before that big 6th grade English test, but I'm going to keep practicing little by little each day. Who knows, maybe I'll get even higher than an 89 next time around! As long as I stay focused and keep up my English skills, I know I can work towards becoming totally fluent one day. That 2019 Guangdong mock was tough, but just more motivation to study hard. Thanks for listening to my story!篇2The Big English Exam – A Kid's TaleOh boy, I've got so much to tell you about the big English exam we had last week! It was a huge deal at my school, and everyone was talking about it for weeks. Even my little sister, who's only in first grade, kept asking me what all the fuss was about. I tried to explain it to her, but she just giggled and said something about how English was hard and that she was glad she didn't have to take any big tests yet.Anyway, let me start from the beginning. A few months ago, our English teacher, Miss Wong, told us that we'd be taking a really important English exam called the Guangdong Province English Exam. She said it was a big deal and that we needed to study hard for it. I remember feeling a little nervous, but also kind of excited. I've always enjoyed learning English, especially when we get to read cool stories or play fun games in class.Miss Wong gave us a bunch of practice tests to work on, and my parents even hired a tutor to help me prepare. Mr. Lee, the tutor, was really strict, but he knew his stuff. He made me do loads of grammar exercises and vocabulary drills. At first, I kind of dreaded going to our tutoring sessions, but after a while, I started to understand things better, and it didn't seem so bad anymore.The weeks leading up to the exam were pretty intense. Miss Wong kept reminding us to study hard and get plenty of rest. My friends and I would quiz each other on vocabulary words during recess, and we'd practice reading passages together after school. Even my parents got in on the action, constantly asking me sample questions and making me write practice essays.Finally, the big day arrived. I remember feeling a mix of nerves and excitement as I walked into the exam room. Thedesks were all lined up in neat rows, and there was a tense silence in the air. Miss Wong wished us all good luck, and then we got started.The first part of the exam was listening comprehension. We had to listen to a bunch of recordings and answer questions about what we heard. I thought I did pretty well on that section, although there were a few tricky questions that had me second-guessing myself.Next up was reading comprehension. We had to read a few passages and answer questions about them. Some of the passages were kind of boring, like one about the history of pencils (seriously, who writes about stuff like that?), but others were actually pretty interesting, like one about a kid who wanted to become an astronaut.After that, we had to do a bunch of grammar and vocabulary questions. I remembered a lot of the stuff from my tutoring sessions with Mr. Lee, so I felt pretty confident about that part.Finally, it was time for the writing section. We had to write an essay about our favorite book or movie. I chose to write about the Harry Potter series, which I've read about a million times. I tried to use all the fancy vocabulary words and grammarstructures that Miss Wong had taught us, and I even threw in a few idioms for good measure.When I finally put down my pencil, I felt a huge sense of relief. The exam was over, and I had given it my best shot. As I walked out of the room, I saw some of my classmates looking a little stressed, but most of them seemed pretty happy and confident, too.The next few weeks were agonizing as we waited for our results. Miss Wong kept telling us not to worry too much, but I couldn't help it. I really wanted to do well on this exam.Finally, the day came when Miss Wong handed out our score reports. I held my breath as I opened mine, and then let out a huge sigh of relief and joy. I had scored really well, way better than I had expected!My parents were so proud of me, and they even took me out for a fancy dinner to celebrate. My little sister was a little jealous, but I promised her that when she got older and had to take big exams, I'd help her study and maybe even share some of my secrets for success.Overall, the Guangdong Province English Exam was a pretty intense experience, but I'm glad I went through it. It taught me alot about hard work, perseverance, and believing in myself. And who knows, maybe one day I'll become an English teacher like Miss Wong, and I can help other kids prepare for big exams like this one.Well, that's my story. I hope you enjoyed hearing about my adventure with the big English exam. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to go practice my French – there's another big exam coming up next year!篇3My Big English Exam AdventureIt was finally here - the day I had been waiting for and dreading all year long. The 2019 Guangdong English exam that all us 6th graders had to take. My parents kept telling me how important it was to do well on this test because it could help get me into a good middle school. I'm pretty good at English usually, but this test had me really nervous.The night before the exam, I must have checked my backpack a million times to make sure I had everything - several sharpened pencils, a good eraser, and my lucky test-taking pencil grip. I laid out my school uniform nice and neat so I wouldn't have to rush around looking for anything in themorning. I tried to get a good night's sleep, but I kept waking up having crazy dreams about filling in the wrong bubble on the answer sheet.When my mom's alarm went off at 6 AM, my stomach immediately started doing flips. I dragged myself out of bed and got dressed, trying not to think about the exam so I wouldn't get even more nervous. My dad made me a big breakfast of congee, eggs, and rice to give me lots of energy for the test. I could barely eat though with how anxious I felt.Finally it was time to head to school. The walk there took forever, with each step bringing me closer to the dreaded exam room. Some of my classmates were already waiting outside looking just as terrified as I felt. We didn't say much to each other, mostly just giving nervous smiles and gestures.The teachers started lining us up to enter the exam room. It looked just like every other room at school, but something about all the individual desks perfectly spaced apart made it feel like a haunted house. We had to leave our backpacks and anything else we had with our homeroom teacher before being allowed to enter and find our assigned seat numbers.The rules for the exam were very strict. We had to show our admission ticket and they checked our ids. Then we had to pullup our sleeves to make sure we didn't have any notes written on our arms. I've never been much of a cheater, but I couldn't help feeling like a criminal with all the security checks.Finally after what felt like ages, the exam booklets were distributed and the head proctor gave the signal for us to begin.I took a deep breath and opened the booklet to the first page of reading comprehension questions. The passages didn't seem too bad at first, but my mind kept wanting to wander. I had to keep re-reading the same paragraphs over and over to keep focused.The usage and grammar sections went a little better for me. I've always been pretty good with the technical rules of English from studying so hard. The writing prompt near the end looked pretty interesting too - I got to write about what food represents in Chinese culture. That helped me relax a bit by putting my mind on a familiar topic I felt comfortable with.After what simultaneously felt like no time at all and an entire lifetime, the final proctor called "pencils down!" I wasn't totally sure how I did overall, but I felt a huge wave of relief just to have that grueling exam over with. We all walked out in a daze, squinting our eyes from being inside the dim exam room for so long.My parents were waiting outside and rushed over asking how it went. I just kind of shrugged - I knew I had given it my best effort but wasn't sure if that would be enough. Despite being completely mentally drained, I still had to go right back to my normal school schedule for the rest of the day.The following few weeks were torture waiting to get my exam results back. It was hard to focus in any of my classes with the suspense killing me. My parents tried to get me to relax by saying the results didn't matter that much, but I knew how important they really were. English is one of the most crucial exams for middle school admissions.Finally, the day came when our teachers passed out our individual scores during homeroom period. I held my breath and slowly unfolded the paper to reveal...that I passed! My score was pretty good too - obviously not a perfect score but enough to hopefully get me into one of the better middle schools. The relief I felt was incredible.That big Guangdong English exam turned out to be one of the most stressful experiences of my life so far. But looking back now, I'm really proud of myself for buckling down, studying hard, and making it through such an intimidating test. Now I just haveto ace the middle school entrance exams next year! One big exam down, so many more to go still...篇4My Favorite HobbyHi everyone! My name is Lily, and I'm a primary school student. Today, I want to share with you my favorite hobby. Can you guess what it is? It's drawing!I love drawing because it allows me to use my imagination and creativity. When I have free time, I grab my colorful pencils and a piece of paper, and I'm ready to create my own world. I draw all sorts of things like animals, flowers, and even my family and friends.One of my favorite things to draw is animals. I believe that animals are fascinating and unique. I draw fluffy cats, playful dogs, and even fierce lions. Sometimes, I even create imaginary animals with wings or rainbow-colored fur. It's so much fun imagining what they would look like!Drawing flowers is another hobby of mine. Flowers are so beautiful and delicate. I draw roses, daisies, and tulips in all different colors. Sometimes, I even make up my own flowers withfantastical shapes and patterns. It's like having my own special garden on paper!Drawing my family and friends is the most special part of my hobby. I love capturing their smiles and expressions on paper. It makes me happy to see their faces light up when I show them my drawings. It's a way for me to show my love and appreciation for them.Practicing drawing has helped me improve my skills. I've learned to be patient and pay attention to details. Sometimes, I make mistakes, but I've learned that it's okay. Mistakes are just opportunities to learn and grow as an artist.I also enjoy sharing my drawings with others. I often participate in art competitions at school and in my community. It's exciting to see my artwork displayed and appreciated by others. It motivates me to keep practicing and getting better.Drawing is not only a hobby but also a way for me to express myself. It allows me to show my emotions and tell stories without using words. When I'm sad, I draw rainbows to cheer myself up. When I'm happy, I draw people dancing and laughing.In conclusion, drawing is my favorite hobby. It brings me joy and allows me to be creative. Whether I'm drawing animals,flowers, or my loved ones, each stroke of the pencil is an expression of who I am. I will continue to draw and explore the world of art because it makes me feel alive.I hope you enjoyed reading about my hobby. What's your favorite hobby? Let's all keep doing what we love and make the world a more colorful place!Love,LilyWord Count: 378 words篇5Hi there! My name is Lily and I'm a 5th grader at Sunshine Elementary School. Today I want to tell you all about the big English exam we took last year called the 2019 Guangdong Mock Exam. It was a really important test that all us students had to take. I was pretty nervous about it!First, let me tell you about the different sections on the exam. There was a listening part where we had to listen to recordings and answer questions. That was kind of hard because you had to pay really close attention. If you zoned out for even a second, you could miss something important! There were conversationsbetween people as well as longer monologues that we had to listen to.Then there was the reading section which had all different kinds of passages - stories, articles, advertisements, you name it! We had to read them carefully and answer comprehension questions about the main ideas, details, vocabularly words, and other things. Some of those readings were pretty long so you really had to concentrate.My favorite part was the writing section because I love writing stories and essays. For the test, we had to write a letter and also an article about a certain topic. I wrote my article about my favorite summer vacation memory of going to the beach with my family. I tried to use really descriptive language to paint a picture in the reader's mind.The speaking part was probably the most nervewracking! We had to answer questions from the test proctor and also give a short speech on a certain subject. I got the topic of "my favorite teacher" so I talked all about my amazing English teacher Ms. Roberts and why she's the best. I practiced a ton to prepare.Finally, there was the grammar section which tested things like verb tenses, articles, prepositions, and all those grammarrules we've been learning for years. Some of those questions were pretty tricky! You really had to pay attention to little details.Overall, I'd say the hardest parts were the listening section because it required such intense focus, and also the speaking portion since it's scary talking out loud by yourself! But I studied really hard and tried my best.My friends and I were sooo relieved when it was finally over. We celebrated by going to get ice cream after school that day. While we waited for our results, we could finally relax a bit. But we were all still pretty nervous!When the scores finally came out a few weeks later, I was overjoyed to see that I got a high score! All that hard work had paid off. My parents were really proud of me and took me out for my favorite dinner - pizza!Some of my friends didn't do as well as they'd hoped, but our teacher Ms. Roberts reminded us that it was just one test and doesn't define us. The important thing is that we all tried our hardest. She said the experience of preparing for a big exam like that is so valuable.I definitely learned a lot through this whole process - not just academic stuff, but also skills like time management,perseverance, dealing with test anxiety, and believing in myself. Those are things that will help me so much in the future when I have to take even bigger tests like the zhongkao and gaokao!Even though the 2019 Guangdong Mock Exam was stressful at times, I'm really glad I went through it. It helped me grow as a student and made me more confident in my English abilities. I'm sure all those skills I developed will allow me to keep working hard and doing my best on future exams and assignments. Bring it on!Looking ahead, I'm starting to get a little nervous about the zhongkao exam I'll have to take in a couple years when I get to middle school. But I know if I start preparing now and stay focused and confident, I can do it! Just like with the Mock Exam, as long as I put in the effort, I'll be ready.Well, that's my full report on the big 2019 Guangdong English exam we took last year. It was definitely challenging, but such a great learning experience. I'm proud of how far I've come with my English and I know this is just the start! Thanks for letting me share my story. Okay, time for me to go play outside and relax after writing this super long essay! Let me know if you have any other questions!篇6My Big Day at SchoolHi there! My name is Lily and I'm 10 years old. I'm in 5th grade at Sunnydale Elementary School. Today was a really exciting day for me and I just have to tell you all about it!It started out like any normal school day. My mom woke me up at 7am and I got ready for school. I put on my favorite pink shirt with kittens on it and a cozy purple sweater. After eating a yummy breakfast of pancakes and orange juice, I brushed my teeth, grabbed my backpack and lunchbox, and headed out the door.The school bus picked me up at 8am as usual. I sat next to my best friend Emma and we chatted about the latest episode of our favorite TV show. When we got to school at 8:30am, the hallways were buzzing with kids catching up with their friends before class started.My first class was math. I really like math because I'm good at working with numbers. We learned about fractions today which was kind of tricky, but I paid close attention and think I get it now. After math was reading class. We're reading the book Charlotte's Web as a class, which is one of my all-time favorites!Then it was time for lunch and recess. Emma and I ate our packed lunches together in the cafeteria - turkey sandwiches, baby carrots, an apple, and a chocolate chip cookie for dessert! Once we were done eating, we rushed outside to meet our other friends on the playground. We played a huge game of freeze tag and I was one of the last ones unfrozen! I love running around and getting exercise at recess.After recess, we had science class. Science is my favorite subject because I want to be a scientist when I grow up. Maybe a marine biologist who studies whales and dolphins! Today we learned about the water cycle - evaporation, condensation, precipitation. We even did a neat experiment that demonstrated the water cycle. I raised my hand a bunch to answer the teacher's questions because I'm kind of a science nerd.Finally, the last class of the day was art. We were learning about sculpting with clay. I had so much fun shaping and molding the clay into a little statue of my dog Buster. My art project turned out so cute! I was proud of myself.Once the final bell rang at 3pm, I rushed out to the bus line with my backpack and clay sculpture in my hands, excited to show my parents my art. The bus dropped me off at my house at 3:30pm. I burst through the door and told my mom and dad allabout my wonderful day at school. They were happy to see me so enthusiastic about learning.After a snack of apple slices and peanut butter, I did my homework - finishing up the math problems from today and reading a chapter of Charlotte's Web. Once my homework was all done, I spent the rest of the evening playing outside on my swing set and watching a movie with my family before bedtime.As I was getting ready for bed and brushing my teeth, I thought back and realized today was a pretty great day overall. My favorite parts were winning at freeze tag during recess, learning about the water cycle in science, and making my cute little dog sculpture. I feel so lucky to love going to school and learning new things every single day. I can't wait for another fantastic day tomorrow!That's my story of a regular but super fun day at school. Being a kid is the best! Well, I better get some sleep so I can wake up early and be alert for another day of learning adventures. Thanks for reading and goodnight!。

At 27, Rooney is now the youngest winner of the award, which is given by the UK's biggest bookshop chain, Waterstones.Normal People received almost universal applause upon its release. Longlisted for the Man Booker prize, the book won novel of the year at the An Post Irish book awards in November of2018 and has also been shortlisted for the Costa novel of the year, announced in January of 2019.The reader response to Normal People had been astonishing.

Its success is a testament to the health of literary fiction and indicates that there is still significant appetite for excellent storytelling.The award, established in 2012, tends to go to books that are already bestsellers near Christmas. It has previously been won by the late American author John Williams's Stoner, the cookbook Polpo by Russell Norman, and last year's choice, Philip Pullman's La Belle Sauvage.James Daunt, Waterstones' managing director, said Rooney's win was a sign of the healthy state of literary fiction, which has seen sales decrease over the last decade.

In fact, she was carrying a painting of a plant she'd done when she arrived at her doctor's San Francisco office. "It would be great if we had artwork like that for our chemotherapy (化疗) rooms," the nurse said. Ballard asked to see one.She was shocked by what she found. The walls were dull and bare, and the paint was chipping(剥落). It was a depressing room for a depressing routine - patients restricted to chemo drips for perhaps several hours, often with nothing to look at other than those sad walls. Ballard didn't have cancer herself, but she could sympathize with the patients. "I couldn't imagine how anyone could even think about getting healthy in a room like that," she says. As it happens, Ballard's physician, Stephen Hufford, was ill with cancer himself, so finding time to decorate the rooms was low on his to-do list. So Ballard made it her mission to brighten up the place.She started by e-mailing 20 local designers. "I wrote, 'You don't know me. But my heart hurts after seeing these rooms," she remembers. She then asked whether they would donate their time and money to transform just one of Dr. Hufford's rooms each.As it happened, six of them wrote back almost immediately. Six rooms got new paint, light fixtures, artwork, and furniture. Dr. Hufford was delighted. "All the patients feel relieved of the pain because of it," he said. He even noted that his own tone of voice was different in the rooms and that he was better able to connect with his patients.Ballard was so encouraged by the patients' reactions that she created a nonprofit, Rooms That Rock 4 Chemo, to raise money and decorate more spaces. Since then, she has worked on 20 projects, including one in Pennsylvania. "We were in Philadelphia for a ribbon cutting, and a woman was there on her third battle with cancer," says Ballard. "When she saw what we'd done, she said, 'I'm gonna beat it this time. I thought I wasn't going to, but now I know I'm gonna beat it"28. What made Ballard decide to help decorate the chemotherapy rooms?A. Her sympathy for cancer patients.B. Her passion for room decoration.C. The good relationship with Hufford.D.

Which can be a suitable title for the passage?A. Design for HopeB. Battle against CancerC. Donation for PatientsD. Decoration in HospitalDPlants are boring. They just sit there photosynthesizing （光合作用）while animals have all the fun. Right? Not so much. A new study has found that there is a long history of interactions between ants and plants. The ant and plant co-evolution （协同进化）started with ants feeding on plants andplants evolving ant-friendly features.Plants make a number of different structures that are specific for ant use. Some plants have evolved features that persuade ants into defending them from attack from other insects and even mаmmаlѕ. Тhеѕе іnсludе hollow thorns that аntѕ will live іnѕіdе, or ехtra nесtаr (琼浆) оn lеаvеѕ or stems for the ants to eat. Some ants will just cheat and take the nectar and run, but some will stick around and attack anything that tries to hurt the plant. Other plants get ants to help them move their seeds around, by providing them with rich food packets attached to the seeds. The ant will pick up the seed and carry it away, eat the food packet, and leave the seed - often in a nutrient-rich area where it'll grow better, and since it's farther away from its parent, they won't have to compete for resources.But scientists weren't sure how the evolutionary relationship between ants and plants got started. If evolution is an arms race between species developing ways to make use of their neighbors, then scientists wanted to know whether plants or ants fired the first shot. It was a chicken-and-egg question, whether things started with ants developing behaviors to take advantage of plants, or plants evolving structures to take advantage of ants.The history of ants and plants evolving together goes back to the time of the dinosaurs, and it's not easy to tell from fossils who fired the first shot. However, it is a question of little significance. Scientists say their study maters because it provides a look at how these widespread and complex interactions evolved.32. Some plants attach food packets to their seeds in order to .A. reward the antsB. make a fool of antsC. provide nutrition for the seedsD. get the seeds moved around33. What does Paragraph 2 mainly tell us?A. How plants and ants interact.B. What ants do to protect plants.C. How plants and ants survive attacks.D. Why plants and ants need co-evolution.34, Which is true about the evolutionary relationship between ants and plants?A. Ants depended more upon plants. B It caused a race for better evolution.C. How it got started was uncertain.D. It was of little value for future studies.35. What's the author’s purpose of writing the passage?A To introduce a science research method.B. To inform readers of a latest research findingC. To arouse readers' interest in science research.D. To criticize people's traditional views about plants.第二节（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

We saw many unfortunate events. However, there were also the bright news that confirmed the goodness of mankind. As a journalist, I wrote many human interesting stories during my career. That's why the story about the guys in the bakery caught my eyes.When the staff at a Mexican bakery chain in Houston were trapped inside the building for two days, they didn’t sit there feeling sorry for themselves. They used their time wisely after flooding caused by Hurricane Harvey. While they were waiting for the eventual rescue that came on Monday morning, four decided to makeas many loaves of bread as possible for their community.The flood water rose in the street outside. They took advantage of their emergency power supply to bake bread. They used more than 4,200 pounds of flour to create hundreds of loaves and sheets of sweet bread. Although the water kept rising, they continued baking to help more people. By the time the owner managed to get to them, they had made so much bread that we took the loaves to loads of emergency centers across the city for people affected by the floods.The store manager, Brian Alvarado, told The Independent, “Whenever a disaster occurs, nobody should just feel forlorn. Instead, we should take positive action to save ourselves and help others. Our acts of kindness will make a big difference.”24.

It is the most important holiday in India.Many people around the world are beginning to celebrate it as well. The United States is one of the places where the festival is becoming more common. Diwali celebrations can now be found at American landmarks like Disneyland in California and New York City's Times Square. They are also held in many parks and museums.Neeta Bhasin created the Times Square event. She said Indian immigrants have found great success in America, But, she said, many Americans still do not know much about India. So, she decided to act. "I felt it's about time that we should take India to mainstream America and show India's rich culture, heritage, arts and variety to the world, " she said, "and I couldn’t find a better place than Times Square. "Bhasin came to the United States from India 40 years ago. She is president of ASB Communications, the marketing firm behind Diwali at Times Square.

The objects were discovered off the coast of the United States in the Pacific Ocean.The crew of the Nautilus, a private research ship, recovered the rock particles(颗粒). The Nautilus is operated by the Ocean Exploration Trust. The group says its aim at present is to examine areas of the ocean that have never been explored before.The search was launched after US government weather stations observed a large meteorite exploding some months ago. The explosion lit up the sky and sent the rock particles to the earth. The meteorite fall was the largest recorded over the United States in at least 20 years. The team includes scientists from NASA, the Olympic Coast National Marine Sanctuary and the University of Washington. The scientists examined what they believe were two small meteorite fragments. Further testing is needed before they can confirm that the material came from the explosion.The Nautilus is equipped with two remotely operated vehicles(ROVs), called Hercules and Argus. These robotic submarines help researchers find and collect materials from the seafloor. The fact that the particles landed in the ocean, instead of on land, means larger pieces may have survived and can be studied. For this reason, scientists decided to launch the first intentional search for meteorites from the ocean. Until the latest rescarch, scientists had only accidentally discovered a small number of meteorites from drilling operations.The objects recovered from the bottom of the sea likely came from the recent explosion or two main reasons. First, meteorite particles are basically made of glassy materials that do not tend to last long in seawater. Secondly, they came from what looked like a small hole on the seafloor. Some evidence shows that they came from something that fell.32. What is the current goal of the crew of the Ocean Exploration TrustA. To recover the rock particles.B. To observe movements of the universe.C. To study unexplored places of the ocean.D. To examine creatures of the explored ocean.33. What mainly caused the start of the search in the seaA. A huge meteor shower.B. Business value of meteors.C. Plenty of natural resources.D. The brainstorm of researchers.34. Why do the scientists prefer to search for meteors in the oceanA. They can find meteors more easily.B. They may find bigger rock particles.C. They like to explore strange sea areas.D. They have better submarine equipment.35. What does the author intend to do in the last paragraphA. Offer clues for the search.B. Give reasons to support a guess.C. Stress the importance of the event.D. Describe the process of the search.第二节 (共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

2019年广东佛山南海区高三一模英语试卷-学生用卷一、阅读（共15小题，每小题2分，共30分）1、【来源】 2019年广东佛山南海区高三一模（A篇）第1~3题6分Cities That Are Running Out of Water Even though 70 percent of the globe is covered in water, only 3 percent of that is freshwater-and about 99 percent of that non-saltwater is stuck in glaciers（冰川） and snowfields. No continent is safe from a lack of clean drinking water.Cape Town, South AfricaCape Town found itself in crisis in 2018 as the city prepared for "Day Zero, " when little rainfall and low dam levels left the city with no water. However, restrictions on water usage proved effective, and the city was able to push Day Zero back to sometime in 2019 and loosen the restrictions. Other challenges facing Cape Town include a growing population, pollution of rivers, and so on.Mexico City, MexicoMexico's capital grew 100 times its geographic size and seven times its population between 1950 and 2010, wiping out the area's lakes and taking a toll on its underground aquifers（含水层）. About 40 percent of Mexico City's water supply is shipped in from far away, and much of the water that can be piped in is lost to leaks and thefts.Chennal, IndiaIn 2014, intense droughts（干旱） dried up at least six lakes around Chennai, plus took a toll on the groundwater. The city, whose population has grown to six million, was receiving only about half of the amount of the water it normally used every day.Bangalore, IndiaDroughts from recent years are causing Bangalore to nun out of water. When the "Silicon Valley of India" doubled its population in the 2000s, urban development filled in hundreds of lakes and prevented rain from soaking into groundwater. About half of the city's population relies on tanks of water because the pipes have run dry.Melbourne, AustraliaBetween population growth and climate change, a recent Melbourne Water report pointed out the city could start using more water than its dams can supply as early as 2028. Even a proposal to build up the desalination（脱盐作用） plant, which makes saltwater drinkable, would only increase water supply by about 0.1 percent. Luckily, you can help make a difference by giving up these habits that you didn't realize were wasting water and harming the environment.(1) How does Mexico City get nearly half of its water supply?A. By storing water in glaciers.B. By pumping underground water.C. By shipping in water from other places.D. By making saltwater drinkable.(2) What can citizens in Melbourne do to ease the problem of water shortage?A. Build more dams.B. Stop wasting water.C. Collect more rain water.D. Buy more tanks of water.(3) Which is the most common cause of lack of water for the five cities?A. Growing population.B. Serious pollution.C. Less underground water.D. Low dam levels.2、【来源】 2019年广东佛山南海区高三一模（B篇）第4~7题8分For many young people, summer is an exciting period where education stops and fun begins. However, holidays, festivals and time spent with friends cost money. And the very group who have the time to make the best of the fun during holiday may not have the money to do so. The solution? A summer job.There are opportunities out there for those who want to earn. And the money is not the only thing that's gained. "Summer jobs prepare young people for successful careers in later life, teaching vital 'soft skills', " says UK Work and Pensions secretary Ester McVey in the Daily Mail. Indeed, when talking about their experiences of summer jobs, people asked for a BBC News article said they got "invaluable training" and learnt skills such as punctuality, tolerance, and the importance of hard work. These opportunities are thought to be so important that the UK government has placed 20, 000 summer job positions on its Find a Job website.However, the percentage of young people working while studying has fallen to 18% from 42% in 1997. Those are the findings of a UK government report on the death of the summer job. Ester McVeybelieves this is because young people are choosing to focus more on education rather than earning extra money. But that isn't the only problem. It isn't always easy to get a job, as 20-year-old Liberty O'Hagan, a student from Worthing, found. She told the BBC that employers see summer workers as a waste of training resources since they have to return to university. Not to mention, by working all summer, you may feel you have missed out on the experiences and opportunities your friends have had—travelling and having fun.While a summer job may not be a dream job, it can teach you things for "a successful future, " says Ester McVey. What students may consider a means to an end, can, in fact, become a worthwhile career-making effort.(1) Who are summer jobs most suitable for?A. People who have been jobless for a while.B. Groups that always spend a lot in all festivals.C. Young people who have finished their education.D. Students who need money to enjoy their holidays.(2) According to paragraph 2, what do people think of summer jobs?A. They have no fun at all.B. They improve students' general qualities.C. They are valueless for their careers.D. They train students to be expert workers.(3) What might be a drawback of summer jobs?A. They cannot teach students real working skills.B. They are far less important than students' education.C. They cannot meet students' need for earning money.D. They may leave students no time to enjoy their holiday.(4) What is the best title for the passage?A. Ways to Get a JobB. Taking a Summer JobC. Jobs and EducationD. A Successful Career3、【来源】 2019年广东佛山南海区高三一模（C篇）第8~11题8分The world watched in heartbreak on Monday as the Notre Dame Cathedral（巴黎圣母院） in Paris was caught by fire. Countless people shared digital images of the cathedral online, inspiring hope that it could be rebuilt with such resources, Indeed, Paris' Notre Dame Cathedral has for centuries inspired artists, photographers and others who sought to copy its form Among those was the late Andrew Talon, a professor who used laser（激光） scanning to create a huge number of digital files that recorded the cathedral down to its precise measurements.Digital preservation is a booming field in which Murray and Tallon were pioneers—they produced the first laser scan of a Gothic（哥特式的） Cathedral in 2000. In 2011, Murray and Tallon co-founded an organization called Mapping Gothic France. Tallon also advanced the field ay combining laser scans with spherical panorama（球面全景的） pictures. Combined with those images, it would look more like the skin of a building we're accustomed to seeing.Tallon's work came to life in his 2013 book, Notre-dame de Paris. Tallon used a laser scanner to send out laser to measure the distance between the scanner itself and anything the laser hits, creating billions of dots of light across the structure to form a 3D sense. Murray noted that laser scanning is a "surprisingly physical task, " involving carrying the scanner to hard-to-reach spots. "It's not for the faint-hearted, " he said. "It demands great skill and strong will."After Tallen passed away, his colleagues are now working on his research with his raw data. Cook, one of his colleagues, said, "With the ample data, there are certain images that have been created, but there are all kinds of other ways you can put it together and create new pictures."Cook said it's unclear whether the authorities involved in rebuilding Notre Dame will want to use Tallon's data. "Of course, it'd be available to them if they decide that's necessary, " she said. "It's really wonderful the material exists so there's at least a backup of all of this data."(1) According to Paragraph 2, what can be inferred about Tallon?A. He invented the first loser scan machine in 2000.B. He founded Mapping Gothic France on his own.C. He made great contributions to digital preservation.D. Ho was accustomed to seeing the skin of a building.(2) The underlined word "faint-hearted" in paragraph 3 is closest in meaningto.A. weak-mindedB. cold-heartedC. panic-strickenD. hot-tempered(3) What do the authorities think of Tallon's data?A. They believe it is rather necessary.B. They think it risky to use raw data.C. They consider it a wonderful backup choice.D. They haven't taken an attitude toward is publicly.(4) What is this passage mainly about?A. The origin and development of laser scanning.B. The damage of Notre Dame Cathedral in a fire.C. A review of the wonderful life of Andrew Tallon.D. A possible technology to rebuild Notre Dame Cathedral.4、【来源】 2019年广东佛山南海区高三一模（D篇）第12~15题8分Whether you're a foodie or someone who just likes eating, there is so much to choose from. But for some people, having a food allergy means that eating certain things can actually be harmful and now, it seems, this is affecting more and more of us.Food allergies can cause life-threatening reactions, which means people have to follow strict dietary restrictions and worry about the ingredients of everything they consume. We often hear about people having allergies to dairy products and to peanuts. Last year a 15-year-old girl died after suffering a deadly allergic reaction from eating a baguette containing sesame seeds. This led to a call for better food-labeling （食物标记） laws.Research has found that this problem is particularly affecting children. More and more of them are having allergic reactions to certain foodstuffs. Writing for the BBC website, Dr. Santos from King's College London says "food allergy now affects about 7% of children in the UK and 9% of those in Australia, for example. Across Europe, 2% of adults have food allergies."So what might be the cause? Allergy specialist Dr. Fox says "if you look back over, say, 30 or 40 years…there are much more allergic problems around now than there were." Dr. Santos says the increase in allergies is not simply the effect of society becoming more aware of them and better at diagnosing them; it seems to be more environmental. She says possible factors are "pollution, dietary changes and less exposure to microbes（微生物）, which change how our immune systems respond." She points out thatit's very common for migrants who move to another country to develop asthma（哮喘） and food allergies in their new location.A lot of work is being done to try and find a cure, but that's not easy. So for now allergy sufferers must watch what they eat and they must rely on clear and accurate labeling.(1) A food allergy is.A. a harmful result of eating too muchB. a kind of food to make certain people sickC. a dangerous reaction after eating certain foodD. a disease caused by people's eating unhealthy food(2) What can people do to avoid food allergy?A. Watch out for certain food.B. Stop eating peanuts.C. Eat their favourite food more often.D. Learn food labeling laws.(3) Why is food allergy more serious than before?A. Because there are less microbes.B. Because the food is of poor quality.C. Because the environment has changed.D. Because people's eating habits are consistent.(4) What does the writer think of food allergy?A. It is no big deal.B. It is worth our caution.C. It will become worse.D. It is only dangerous to some.二、七选五（共5小题，每小题2分，共10分）5、【来源】 2019年广东佛山南海区高三一模第16~20题10分What to Drink to Help You Sleep When winding down, you might enjoy having a drink before bedtime.1? It turns out that experts advise to avoid certain drinks before bedtime, while the research on drinks to promote quality sleep remains not as clear."Things that contain caffeine are definitely going to be less-than-desirable for most people, " said Jessica Redmond, assistant professor at Syracuse University, "2. They may even need to cut down the caffeine in their day at some point in the afternoon or certainly by dinner time so that they can then have a restful night sleep."Caffeine can also be found in certain teas, soda and chocolate, and while a night drink might be tempting, experts say alcohol should be avoided, too. Alcohol may help you fall asleep, but that's where the benefits end.3and dramatically reduces the quality of your rest at night.As far as what might be helpful for sleep quality, some studies suggest that consuming milk might help improve falling asleep.4. At this point there's so much research that has looked at the effects of milk and there's not necessarily an obvious connection that makes it a universal recommendation.As for Redmond, she doesn't have a specific bedtime routine other than trying to get somewater.5. To prevent such situation, the National Academies of Sciences recommend for men to consume about 3.7 liters, or 15.5 cups, of water on average each day and for women to consume about 2.7 liters, or 11.5 cups.A.

reading．These studies show that girls typically read more frequently than boys，and have a more positive attitude toward reading．There are several reasons that help explain these gender﹣based differences．Parents read more with their daughters．This sends a strong and early message that books are for girls，as well as equipping girls with a significant advantage．Recent research has found even though boys read less frequently than girls，girls still receive more encouragement to read from theirparents．So how can parents and educators help bridge this socially﹣engineered gap for boys' reading？To improve boys' reading performance，parents and educators may look for ways to connect boys with reading．This has led to discussion about the importance of promoting so﹣called "boy﹣friendly" books that boys supposedly "prefer"．These are typically assumed to be non﹣fiction works，as many people believed that boys prefer to read non﹣fiction．But this belief is not supported by recent research，which in fact suggests boys are more likely to choose to read fiction than non﹣fiction．Encouraging all boys to read non﹣fiction under the mistaken belief that it is their preference may actually be harmful．Fiction readers read more frequently and demonstrate faster language learning and higher language ability．Besides encouraging more fiction reading，there are a number of ways that we can help connect boys with books．Firstly，don't assume that boys of the same age have the same interests or that their interests stay the same over time．To match boys with suitable reading material，have regular discussions about reading for pleasure in order to keep up with their interests．Schools should also provide access to libraries during lessons throughout the years of schooling．Girls visit the library in their free time more than boys，and as students move to higher grades they often have less access to libraries during class．Access to books for boys is essential to promote reading．In addition，we should keep paper books available because research shows that boys are less likely to choose to read on screens than girls．Finally we should promote reading as an enjoyable pastime by being a role model．Let your children or students see you read for pleasure．（1）According to the author，what is the main cause of the difference in boys' and girls' reading ability？A．Social factors．B．Teaching methods．C．Personal preferences．D．Psychological differences．（2）Why does the author recommend that adults regularly talk to boys about reading？A．To persuade boys to read more often．B．To learn what boys are most interested in．C．To help boys improve their language ability．D．To show that adults are good reading role models．（3）When should schools give students additional library access according to the author？A．Before and after class．B．At any time of the school day．C．At regular times during class．D．When they are in the lower grades．（4）What is the main purpose of the text？A．To show students ways to improve their reading．B．To explain why boys are not as good at reading as girls．C．To urge governments to provide more reading resources．D．To provide strategies that can help improve boys' reading ability．3．（8分）"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 sale．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 claiminghe 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 themafter 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．（1）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"．（2）Why did the company choose to send the cards to many news reporters？A．Because it didn't have enough money 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．（3）What did Chris' s research suggest about Anytime？A．It may 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．（4）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．4．（8分）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 will 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．"（1）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．（2）Which of the following best explains "dethroned" underlined in paragraph 5？A．rebuiltB．removedC．destroyedD．upgraded（3）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．（4）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第二节（满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项．选项中有两项为多余选项．5．（10分）It was the 2015 "super storm" in New South Wales that restored my faith in people．During a break in the weather，I stupidly decided to drive into town to buy some groceries．However，as I left the supermarket and drove back，the weather took a turn for the worse．（1）Having nowhere to go，I spotted a young man in his front yard assessing the situation．He quickly waved to me to come and park in his driveway．（2）The man，who introduced himself as Trent，then invited me to wait inside his house with his wife，Kayti and their two daughters．I told him I was concerned about the damage to my car，as the continuing rain was starting to turn into hail （冰雹）．Trent then grabbed a blanket from his garage and covered my car．（3）Fortunately，his efforts saved my car from being damaged by the hail．By 11：00 a．m．，the electricity and phone services had both gone．（4）Trent made me a cup of tea and Kayti gave me a towel to dry myself off．The three of us chatted while waiting for the weather to get better．I learned that Trent had lost his job and was struggling to feed the family．When the hail stopped，I shook Trent's hand and kissed Kayti goodbye．（5）I was very moved by their kindness and it renewed my faith in people．As I went out the door，I asked Trent for two of his business cards．My father has since called to offer him a job as a clerk at his company．A．It began pouring so heavily that I was forced to stop．B．The couple were so modest as I thanked them for their help．C．I was surprised that he didn't ask for anything in return for his assistance．D．I was grateful to escape the running water that was about to drown my car．E．I tried driving faster to escape the heavy downpour that was sure to come．F．As a result，I couldn't contact my parents，despite knowing they'd be worried．G．He was wet but he didn't seem to mind being out in the wild weather on my behalf．。

have a more positive attitude toward reading ．There are several reasons that help explain these gender ﹣based differences ． Parents read more with their daughters ． This sends a strong and early

AFrances Stevens Reese Woodland Trail GuideThe Woodland Trail was opened to the public on October21,1997.Boscobel's Board of Directors adopted a formal decision of naming the Woodland Trail in honor of former Boscobel board member,Frances Stevens Reese(1917-2003),one year after his death.The trail(小径)is approximately10miles in length,leading down to Constitution Forest.When the West Point Glass Factory was operating during the Civil War,trees for miles around were cleared to provide firewood.Walking out of the forest,you will find a large mass of native hard rock about three billion years old.Throughout this country path,you will find picture boards identifying birds and plants local to this region.You will also find signs with historic and environmental information written by areaspecialists.When you take a walk through this“undiscovered”forest land,please be a considerate guest.◎Before walking the trail,please purchase a pass in the Carriage House.Plan ahead,so you will be back by closing time.◎Follow the trail markers and remain on the trail.Besides protecting the fragile forest ecosystem,you will reduce the risk of poison plants and snakes.◎Leave rocks,plants,animals and art works where you see them so that the person behind you can have the same experience.◎Carry out whatever you carry in because there are no rubbish containers on the trail.If you happen to see a piece of litter,be a good guest and pick it up.21.When was the trail named to honor Frances Stevens Reese?A.In1997B.In1917C.In2003D.In200422.What can you see along the trail?A.An old battle field.B.A glass factory.rmation signs.D.Rock houses.23.What should you do as a thoughtful visitor?A.Leave the wildlife undisturbed.B.Throw the rubbish into the dustbins.C.Make reservations in the Carriage House.D.Protect the markers of the Woodland Trail.BKevin,diagnosed with Dyslexia(读写困难症),rarely spoke a word in class,and if he did,it would be a“Yes,”“No,”or“Maybe,”in response to questions.He always scored badly in tests and saw no hope for the future.That was until he met Sarah,an advisor at a youth centre Kidpreneur.In2012,Kevin attended a course called Ready Set Go in that centre.The course was for disadvantaged kids in Kingswood--a low-income area in Sydney’s western suburbs--and its goal was to teach the kids how to create businesses and offer value to the neighborhood.At the end of the course,Sarah took the kids to the local area.She asked volunteers to share their business experiences--Kevin immediately put up his hand.His challenge was to trade his hot-dog selling service for free bread at a bakery.Although scared,Kevin was able to share his entrepreneur (创业)story with the shop owner and asked if he could exchange his service for some bread. Unexpectedly,the shop owner told Kevin how moved he was by his story and handed him some Bread for free.By the end of the afternoon,his belief in himself and what was possible was at an all-time high.The following week,Kevin sold70hot-dogs in two hours and made over$200.Soon after he delivered pubic speeches in20schools,and was selected as part of his school’s leadership team. Now he heads a business group working on how to increase potential customer base.All of this would not have been possible if Kevin had not found his passion and perseverance to improve himself,and those around him.The guidance and trust of his advisor also helped to kindle his enthusiasm to go after his goals and dreams in life.24.What were the kids expected to achieve in the Ready Set Go course?A.To improve their test scores.B.To create a hot-dog business.C.To teach in low-income areas.D.To be beneficial to the local area.25.How did Kevin feel after visiting the local bakery?A.Scared.B.Confident.C.Touched.D.Grateful.26.What does the underlined word“kindle”probably mean?A.Inspire.B.Share.C.Continue.D.Express.27.Which can be a suitable title for the text?A.On the Road to RecoveryB.Turning Failure into SuccessC.Growing Wealthy through Hard WorkD.From Hopeless Youth to Business LeaderCA woman held her phone tightly to her heart the way a church-goer might hold a Bible.She was anxious to take a picture of an impressive bunch of flowers that sat not so far away,but first she had to get through a crowd of others pushing their way to do the same.The cause of this was to Art,one of the most popular events at the de Young Museum in San Francisco.Flower sellers were asked to create flower arrangements that respond to pieces of art on display from ancient carvings to contemporary sculptures.It's extremely attractive and also memorable to the point that it has become a problem.In recent years,the de Young received more than a thousand complaints from people who felt that cell phones had spoiled their experience of the exhibit.Institutions of fine art around the world face similar problems as the desire to take photographs becomes a huge attraction for museums,as well as something that upsets some of their patrons(资助人).So the de Young responded with a kind of compromise:carving out“photo free”hours during the exhibitions six-day run.One common complaint about the effect of social media on museum culture is that people seem to be missing out on experiences because they are so busy collecting evidence of them.A study recently published in the journal Psychological Science suggests there is some truth to this.It finds that people who keep taking photos of an exhibit and posting them on social media rather than simply observing it have a bad time remembering what they see.But the issue is complex professionals running museums.Linda Butler,the de Young’s head of marketing and visitor experience,acknowledges that not everyone wants a museum to be“a photo-taking playland.”Yet a lot of people do,and she believes that the de Young is in no position to judge one reason for buying a $28ticket to be more valid than another.“If we removed social media and photography,”she says,“we would risk becoming irrelevant.”28.What was the woman eager to do according to Paragraph1?A.To get her phone.B.To take a photo.C.To escape the crowd.D.To push ahead.29.How did the de Young respond to the dilemma?A.By setting periods without photo-taking.B.By making the exhibition free of charge.C.By compromising with the government.D.By extending the free exhibition hours.30.The recent study finds that the use of social media in museums may________?A.uncover the truthB.play a negative roleC.accumulate evidenceD.cause many complaints31.Which of the following may Linda Butler support?A.Catering to visitors.B.Reducing admission prices.C.Reserving judgement in public.D.Banning social media and photography.DMost autonomous vehicles test-driving in cities navigate(导航)by using3-D map marking every edge of roadside with almost centimeter-level accuracy.But few places have been mapped in such detail,which has left most areas like smaller towns inaccessible to those driverless cars.Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology(MIT)now have developed a new navigation system that guides autonomous vehicles without such accurate maps.This technology can help driverless cars travel almost anywhere.The navigation system maps out a course down unfamiliar roads much as a human driver would by continually scanning its surroundings,with a laser sensor(激光感应器),to measure how close it is to the edges of the road.Meanwhile,the car also follows a tool like a smart phone map app that provides directions to its destination,as well as information about the rules of the road,such as speed limits and the positions of stoplights.Teddy Ort,a roboticist at MIT,test-drove a can equipped with this navigation system on a one-way road.It slowly traveled one kilometer without any human assistance.This system assumes that a car has a clear path down the road,but it can be paired with other existing computing technology to discover in-road obstacles(障碍)says Ort.The researchers also plan to build a version of this system which can spot markings painted on streets,so that the car can drive on two-way roads.“Self-driving cars with this navigation system may need other sensors to work in different conditions.”says Alexander Wyglinski,an electrical engineer at Worcester Polytechnic Institute.“Since laser sensors don’t work well in rain or snow,these cars might need additional imaging technologies to drive safely in bad weather.”32.What may be a problem for most driverless cars?A.They fail in test-driving.B.Their maps are out-dated.C.They run in limited areas.D.Their guides are unreliable.33.What can we infer about the MIT navigation system?A.It includes accurate maps.B.It removes in-road obstacles.C.It works by detecting the road.D.It features a smart phone app.34.What is the purpose of Paragraph4?A.To confirm the test-drive results.B.To indicate further research areas.C.To recognize scientists’achievements.D.To show the creativity of driverless cars.35.What is the main idea of the text?A.Autonomous cars beat human drivers on country roads.B.Navigating self-driving cars may work in different conditions.C.Smart mapping technology adds to the functions of self-driving cars.D.A new navigation system helps autonomous cars drive remote roads.第二节七选五（共5小题：每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最住选项。

In Africa and Asia, elephants damage infrastructure, farmers' crops, and natural habitat important for other species. If an elephant becomes a problem, humans may kill it. So local people and conservationists are trying to find better ways to keep elephants away from sensitive places. Now, researchers think they have a good tool to prevent elephants: honeybee pheromones （信息素）."Elephants dislike being stung in the trunk, so it's an extremely sensitiveorgan.TAL#NBSP Imagine being stung in your nose by a bee,and multiply that a few thousand times." said Mark Wright, a professor of entomology at the University of Hawai at Manoa.Kenyan farmers have long known that if they hang live beehives（蜂箱） around their farms, they will drive elephants away. "The problem is how to manage hundreds of thousands of hives, if you have ahuge area to protect. And then the idea came up to look at the alarm pheromones, which are chemicals that the bees release to launch an attack on something that's damaging the hive."So the researchers tested out an artificial mixture of chemicals that imitates honey bees' alarm pheromones. In Greater Kruger National Park in South Africa, the team hung white socks treated with the artificial mixture as well as untreated control socks around an elephant watering hole, and then observed the animals' behavior. "Elephants are really curious creatures. They'll walk along and see something like a sock hanging on a branch in the environment, and they'll inspect it, and if it's not treated with the alarm pheromones, they'll pick it up, throw it around, and try to taste it, things like that. And in the case of the treated ones, we found that they would show immediate signs of unease or uncertainty, and they'd eventually back off from them. Very seldom would they go pick them up and play with them." The study is in the journal Current Biology.In order to avoid the elephants more effectively, the researchers plan to make the pheromone mixture purer. That way, these remarkable animals will stay far away from wherever they should not be going—and both elephants and humans can coexist a bit more peacefully.(1) What can we infer from the underlined words in Paragraph 2?A. Bees enjoy stinging elephants.B. Elephants' trunk is a sensitive organ.C. Your nose is frequently stung by bees.D. Being stung in the trunk is unbearable to elephants.(2) Why didn't the researchers hang live beehives to keep elephants away from crops?A. Because it's of no use to elephants.B. Because it's impractical.C. Because elephants like the taste of honey.D. Because they prefer to invent new chemicals.(3) Paragraph 4 mainly tells us.A. how to imitate honeybee alarm pheromonesB. elephants' reaction to the white socksC. how the experiment was carried outD. why the team hung two different white socks(4) The research was aimed at.A. bettering the relation between humans and elephantsB. cutting down the number of elephantsC. preventing elephants from damaging cropsD. protecting elephants3、【来源】 2019年广东惠州高三一模第8~11题8分(每题2分)2018~2019学年广东佛山南海区华南师范大学附属中学南海实验高级中学高二下学期期末（C篇）第8~11题8分Products with "Made in China"on them have become an important part of the world as China is gradually taking the globe with its incredible manufacturing industry. Though Chinese products have already got rid of the image of low quality, there are still many foreigners who consider them cheap, low-end and copycat and claim that they will never buy one.However, a recent Japanese TV show which conducted a survey on Chinese products has astonished those who looked down upon Chinese manufacturing. The TV show did a test: Clear all the China—made products from a Japanese household. Four hours later, 619 pieces of Chinese products were removed, and even the clothes of the house owner had to be taken off. Not only in Japan, but also in the us people are seeing the same change. The US writer Sara Bongiorn who published a book titled Without MADE IN CIIINA a decade ago also conducted a similar experiment to measure the impact of globalization on ordinary Americans. She decided not to buy any products made in China for a year, At first, she was pretty positive about her decision, believing she could find substitutes from other countries. But she later proved herself wrong.Avoiding Chinese products on purpose, Bongiorn could only choose ltalian—made sneakers for her children at the price of ﹩68 per pair, while the Chinese ones were only﹩10. Once she tried to buy a candle for her husband's birthday, but failed to find one that was not made in China at six stores.At last, Bongiorn concluded in her book that "Made in China" products are inseparable to American society, since the inconveniences of living without them are a huge cost.US President Donald Trump has won lots of support for his slogan "Make America Great Again" and for his"Buy American, Hire American" advertisements during his campaign. However, the hats, clothes, and flags printed with the slogans that were used for the campaign were all made in China.Today, with the arising awareness of brands and improving demand for quality, "Made in China" has gradually shaken off the label of cheap, copycat products, and is winning are putation for competence. (1) What can we know from the first paragraph？A. Products made in China sell best in the world.B. The quality of Chinese products still has a long way to go.C. Many foreigners still look down upon Chinese products.D. Chinese products are popular because they are cheap.(2) From Sara Bongiorn's experiment, we can learn she.A. refused any Chinese products for their poor qualityB. lacked confidence at the beginning of the experimentC. gave up doing the experiment because it was much too expensiveD. came to believe American society can't go without Chinese products(3) What is the purpose of using Donald Trump's campaign as an exampleA. To support the idea that Chinese products are winning the market.B. To show that Donald Trump knew how to win people's heart.C. To explain why American people refuse Chinese products.D. To show that America is in a trade war with China.(4) In which of the following magazines can you most likely find this articleA. Reader's DigestB. Business ExplorationC. Green ChinaD.

That is how Jude Tisdall describes joining a co-housing development built for women over 50. Tisdall, an arts consultant in her early 60s, moved into the New Ground Complex in north London just over a year ago.Tisdall was lucky to secure one of the 26 apartments in the development. Its L-shaped design, with a single entrance that takes residents past the common room, is intended to foster casual social interaction, and there is a communal garden and space to cook and share meals together. Residents are aged between 50 and 90.The development is managed by the Older Women's Co-housing community, set up to bring the principle of co-housing communities established in Germany, Denmark, the Netherlands and the UK."There are not many options for the old in the UK, " says Maria Brenton, a founding member."One third of over 65s live on their own, which causes loneliness and ill health, and two thirds of those are older women. Older people I have researched don't want to live in institutions like a care home. And they often say they don't want to end up like their parents—isolated and lonely."With the world's population getting older and more urban, the needs of older residents will play an increasingly important part in the shaping of cities. According to UN figures, the number of over 60s is set to double by 2050. All cities will need to adapt to meeting this massive demographicchange.Currently more than 700 cities in 39 countries are signed up for the World Health Organization's global network of age friendly cities and communities to promote healthy ageing and improve the quality of life for people over 60.(1) How did Tisdall feel about joining the co-housing developmentA.

It differs from a care home.C. It's first established in the UK.D.

Although the water kept rising, they continued baking to help more people. By the time the owner managed to get to them, they had made so much bread that we took the loaves to loads of emergency centers across the city for people affected by the floods.The store manager, Brian Alvarado, told The Independent, “ Whenever a disaster occurs, nobody should just feel forlorn .

Diwali celebrations can now be found at American landmarks like Disneyland in California and New York City’s Times Square. They are also held in many parks and museums.Neeta Bhasin created the Times Square event. She said Indian immigrants have found great success in America. But, she said, many Americans still do not know much about India.

The objects were discovered off the coast of the United States in the Pacific Ocean.The crew of the Nautilus, a private research ship, recovered the rock particles（颗粒）.The Nautilus is operated by the Ocean Exploration Trust. The group says its aim at present is to examine areas of the ocean that have never been explored before.The search was launched after US government weather stations observed a large meteorite exploding some months ago. The explosion lit up the sky and sent the rock particles to the earth. The meteorite fall was the largest recorded over the United States in at least 20 years. The team includes scientists from NASA, the Olympic Coast National Marine Sanctuary and the University ofWashington. The scientists examined what they believe were two small meteorite fragments. Further testing is needed before they can confirm that the material came from the explosion.The Nautilus is equipped with two remotely operated vehicles (ROVs), called Hercules and Argus. These robotic submarines help researchers find and collect materials from the seafloor. The fact that the particles landed in the ocean, instead of on land, means larger pieces may have survived and can be studied. For this reason, scientists decided to launch the first intentional search for meteorites from the ocean Until the latest research, scientists had only accidentally discovered a small number of meteorites from drilling operations.The objects recovered from the bottom o£the sea likely came from the recent explosion for two main reasons. First, meteorite particles are basically made of glassy materials that do not tend to last long in seawater. Secondly, they came from what looked like a small hole on the seafloor. Some evidence shows that they came from something that fell.32.What is the current goal of the crew of the Ocean Exploration TrustA.To recover the rock particles.B.To observe movements of the universe.C.To study unexplored places of the ocean.D.To examine creatures of the explored ocean.33.What mainly caused the start of the search in the seaA. A huge meteor shower.B. Business value of meteors.C. Plenty o£ natural resources.D. The brainstorm ofresearchers.34.Why do the scientists prefer to search for meteors in the oceanA.They can find meteors more easily.B.They may find bigger rock particles.C.They like to explore strange sea areas.D.They have better submarine equipment.35.What does the author intend to do in the last paragraphA. Offer clues for the search.B. Give reasons to support a guess.C. Stress the importance of the event.D. Describe the process of the search.第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑口选项中有两项为多余选项口There are numerous benefits of reading good books. __36__ Whatever your field might be, it’s very important to create a good habit to read beyond your horizons・ Here are tips to help you cultivate a better and consistent reading habit:•Determine your reading goal. __37__ This goal should be clear and backed up with a purpose.
