Summer College is not a summer camp, but an eight-week college experience that provides academic, social, and intellectual opportunities that cannot be found in a high school classroom.What kind of students are you looking for?We are looking for academically motivated high school students who are ready for a college experience. This doesn't mean an applicant needs the highest test scores in their class, but we do need evidence that a student enjoys learning, understands how to be successful in an academically rigorous （严格的） educational environment, and is prepared to be in a college classroom.Can I get a job to earn money during my time of Stanford?High School Summer College students are expected to participate fully in our program.

High School Summer College students should not miss class for any reason.

When it snowed, I would go out and walk in the snow. But a busy life made me feel less eager to learn or share as I entered high school. I was a good student getting good grades, but I wasn't a good friend. However hard it snowed, I didn't look out of the window any more. Finally I realized I was self-satisfied, and I wanted to get my old self back again.Since then, attempts at experiencing and earning new things began. Thanks to this change in attitude, I could participate in the "Japan Future Leaders School" as one of five representatives of Korea. However, the process was never easy. The selection process was very long and thorough due to the scale of the event. Many people, including school teachers and parents, were concerned about my choice, saying I'd better focus on studying. It was a hard decision for me, too. However, I didn't regret my determination. While spending three weeks with hundreds of teenagers from around the world, I learned how to be with others and be confident in myself.After returning to Korea, I came up with a question that had been disturbing me for a long time –"What do I want to do with my future life? " For this, I started to challenge different things in various fields. I always knew the importance of sharing, but to put it into practice was another thing. So I worked as a volunteer in our district to help elderly and handicapped （残疾的） people. I also took a deep interest in science and technology, escaping from the school curriculum focused on humanities （人文科学） and social science. These wide experiences give me not only a wide range of knowledge but also a deeper understanding of myself and people around me. All my sense of achievement comes from efforts.(1) From the first paragraph, we can infer that the author.A. had to face something unpleasantB. was not satisfied with what she'd gotC. used to be active and curiousD. felt it hard to adjust to the new school life(2) When making the decision to attend the "Japan Future Leaders School" , theauthor.A. was skeptical about her choiceB. made use of all available resourcesC. went through some mental struggleD. met the challenge of lack of support(3) When coming back to Korea, the author.A. felt at a loss about her futureB. became confident in her great abilityC. felt happy for staying with her familyD. got tired of being disturbed by the same question(4) How did the author make contributions to society?A. By encouraging handicapped people to challenge themselves.B. By sharing her experience of achievement with others.C. By getting involved in some voluntary service.D. By showing her talent in humanities and social science.(5) What does the author want to express in the passage?A. Well begun is half done.B. Every effort will pay off.C. Opportunity seldom knocks twice.D. It is no use crying over spilt milk.19、【来源】 2018年天津和平区天津市耀华中学高三一模（C篇）第46~50题12.5分(每题2.5分)The invention of television was a gradual process. The television was not invented by a single person. Before it appeared, people from all over the world had experimented on it for many times.At the dawn of television history, there were two competing experimental approaches that led to the breakthroughs that made TAL#NBSP the technology possible. Early inventors attempted to either build a mechanical television system based on the technology of Paul Nipkow's rotating disks （旋转磁盘） or they tried to build an electronic television system using a cathode ray （阴极） tube developed independently in 1897 by German inventor Karl Braun.German inventor Paul Nipkow developed a rotating disc technology to send pictures over wire in 1884 called the Nipkow disk. Nipkow is famous for discovering television's scanning principle, in which the light strength of small parts of an image is successively analyzed and sent.In the 1920's, John Logie Baird came up with the idea of using lines of a special metal to send images for television by reflected light rather than back-lit silhouettes （轮廓）. Baird based his technology on Paul Nipkow's scanning disc idea and other latest developments in electronics.Russian inventor Vladimir Zworykin invented an improved cathode ray tube in 1929. At the time, the tube was badly needed for television and Zworykin was one of the first to test a television system with all the features of modern picture tubes.In 1927, American inventor Philo Farnsworth became the first inventor to send a television image consisting of 60 level lines. The image sent was dollar sign. Farnsworth also developed another new tube, which was the basis of all current electronic televisions. He filed for his first television patent in 1927.Louis Parker, another American inventor, invented the modern changeable television receive. The patent was issued to Louis Parker in 1948. Parker's "sound system" is now used in all television receivers in the world.(1) The appearance of TV arises from.A. some well-known inventorsB. an occasional findingC. many people's great effortsD. a demanding research(2) The underlined part in Paragraph 2 refers to "" .A. the invention of televisionB. the development of televisionC. the theory of televisionD. the future of television(3) What can be inferred from the text?A. Zworykin invented TV with modern pictures.B. Braun developed the cathode ray with others.C. Baird's achievement benefited from Paul Nipkow.D. All TVs benefited from Farnsworth's invention.(4) What can we know about Louis Parker's invention?A. It was invented in 1948.B. It is still popular worldwide.C. It was the first TV receiver in the world.D. It is a system used to Change TV's voice.(5) What can be the best title of the text?A. A Useful Function of TVB. A Brief History of TVC. The Secret of TVD. The System of TV20、【来源】 2018年天津和平区天津市耀华中学高三一模（D篇）第51~55题12.5分(每题2.5分)Sociologists, economists and many others have analyzed exhaustively why women don't get certain types of jobs or progress beyond certain levels, and women is increasing faster than the gender pay gap. The Paula Principle explains. "Most women work below their level of competence." There is a striking mirror-image symmetry （对称） between the Peter Principle （Every employee rises to his level of incompetence.） and the Paula Principle.The Paula Principle reveals some things that should concern us all: a continuous unfairness or injustice in the way education is rewarded, and a waste of proven talent. By "rewards" , I don't mean only financial returns, but also satisfaction from knowing that one's abilities are being properly employed, and a sense of progression, or moving forward.As a man writing about what is and isn't happening to women at work, at times I struggle to find an appropriate voice. Obviously I can't speak with the kind of subjective experience that may give a richer tone. But my intention is to include everyone in the conversation. Indeed, my main conclusion fully that both men and women are able to help each other forward.We all need to see equality in a more dynamic way that doesn't focus only on specific times in women's working lives, but across their whole life course. For young women with a good education record, the Paula Principle may no longer seem to apply: when they search for jobs, most options are open to them. But will this phenomenon last as they get older? Almost certainly not, on current form.TAL#NBSP Women's career paths are flatter and more broken. Their salaries are lower, and their retirement incomes are smaller.In the debate on gender equality at work, we will next focus on the topic about top jobs: on how few women are judges, CEOs, cabinet ministers and so on.(1) What can be inferred from Paragraph 1?A. Women are not suitable for a new types of jobs.B. Many women are actually more competent than men.C. Gender discrimination still exists in modern society.D. Quite a few women can give full play to their competence.(2) According to Paragraph 2, if women work below their competence level,.A. their superior educational achievements are ignoredB. they will leave look for jobs that provide the satisfactionC. they know fewer people in higher level jobs who can help themD. they will put themselves forward for a job they are qualified for(3) The author wrote this article in order to.A. explain the reason why women work below their levelB. draw people's attention to an important social phenomenonC. make a comparison between Peter Principle and Paula PrincipleD. show his opinions that people should fully use their competence(4) Which of the following is closest in meaning to the underlined sentence in Paragraph 4?A. It's easier for educated women to have a successful career at early age.B. Women go through more hardship before they succeed in their careers.C. It's hard for women to find satisfaction and progression in their careers.D. Women are keener to add to their competences and more engaged in work.(5) What does the passage mainly talk about?A. A debate on competence gap.B. Two principles about genders.C. The causes of gender pay gap.D. Women working below abilities.三、写作（共两节，满分35分）第一节、阅读表达（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）21、【来源】 2018年天津和平区天津市耀华中学高三一模第56~60题10分(每题2分)When people think of New York City, most of them probably picture the attractive lifestyles of the rich and famous or think of Broadway, Times Square and other tourist attractions. However, there is another side of New York City. The summer after tenth grade, I went with my group on a mission trip to New York City for a week.I had always known that poverty existed in major cities, but I had never seen it to a degree as high as we did there. We worked at several different locations with our small groups. One day, we served at a soup kitchen and what I saw TAL#NBSP astounded me. I couldn't believe my eyes. We saw people from all walks of life. We met people who came there because they had no job, no home and no money.Another day, we volunteered at a homeless shelter. We helped people there do some cleaning and spent time talking to them and listening to their stories. It was incredible to see how thankful they were to us for just spending a couple of hours talking to them.Every person we met on that trip had a unique story. Whatever their stories were, there was a common thread we saw in them – hope and thanks. These were people who had nothing and yet they were so hopeful about their futures and they were thanking us.My experience during that summer changed my life. I used to picture my future as containing a big house and a lot of money, but now I see my future as helping others. After college, I would really like to work for some sort of global aid organization that deals with the social issues, such as poverty and homelessness.(1) What do most people have in mind when thinking of New York City? （no more than 10 words）(2) What does the underlined word "astounded" in Paragraph 2 mean? （1 word）(3) What did the author discover in the people on the trip to NYC? （no more than 15 words）(4) What kind of organizations the author want to work for after college? （no more than 10 words）(5) How does the author's experience inspire you? （no more than 20 words）第二节、书面表达（共1小题，满分25分）22、【来源】 2018年天津和平区天津市耀华中学高三一模第61题25分假如你是红光中学学生会主席李津，不久前在国际演讲比赛（International English Speech Contest）中获得一等奖，奖励为7月15日去美国首都华盛顿（Washington D.C.）和纽约进行为期一周的旅游，你的美国朋友Jack正好生活在华盛顿，请根据以下提示给他写封电子邮件：（1）获奖时的心情；（2）获奖的原因（注重口语学习）；（3）你在美国的打算（期待见面，请他带领参观白宫等）。

The police sent the "zebras" to several different locations in the Russian capital, where officials in orange vests walked TAL#NBSP them over zebra crossings and handed out leaflets（传单）to passing drivers.Some held up rainbow-coloured umbrellas over the painted animals to protect them from the rain. Russian roads are notoriously dangerous and drivers still rarely take the initiative （主动采取措施） to avoid pedestrians. Nearly half of all traffic accidents in the country's big cities are caused by cars hitting pedestrians, and a third of those occur on crossings, according to traffic police figures published last month.In the first six months of this year, 378 people were killed and more than 6, 600 injured on pedestrian crossings in Russia, according to police. In Moscow alone, 43 people were killed, including two children.Though police officials said that only safe paint would be used on the animals, animal rights activists still disagreed with the idea, accusing the police of "treating animals like garbage" ."Children understand that paints are bad for animals, " the Interfax news agency quoted president of Vita animal rights group Irina Novozhilova as saying.Let's hope this part of the campaign is over and animals are left out of future attempts to raise pedestrians' awareness.(1) Why do Moscow police have "zebras" walk across on the busiest streets?A. To make a call on protecting animals.B. To remind people zebras are in danger of extinction.C. To tell people it is dangerous to cross streets.D. To raise drivers' awareness of road safety.(2) What does the underlined word "them" in paragraph 2 refer to?A. The zebras.B. The horses.C. The policemen.D. The drivers.(3) From the text we can learn that.A. most Russian drivers have realized the seriousness of the problemB. Russian drivers often ignore traffic lightsC. Russian drivers seldom give way to pedestriansD. the driving skills of Russian drivers are bad(4) What do animal rights activists think of the new attempt?A. Drivers must slow down at pedestrian crossings.B. These animals are ill-treated by the police.C. The paints used on the horses are safe.D. Road safety should be improved.(5) Which word can best describe the author's attitude towards the campaign?A. Critical.B. Reserved.C. Doubtful.D. Positive.19、【来源】 2019年天津河北区高三一模（C篇）第46~50题12.5分NASA has a new job listing, and it's no joke. The US space agency is looking for a "joker" to join their planned mission to Mars.A mission to Mars is no laughing matter. On average, the red planet is 140 million miles（225 million kilometers）away from Earth. A trip there would take around eight months in a small spacecraft. And Mars has a communications delay of 20 minutes. This means that astronauts will have to wait 20 minutes for a reply, when an emergency happens."When you're living with others in TAL#NBSP a confined space for a long period of time, such as on a mission to Mars, problems are likely to occur, " Jeffrey Johnson, a scientist at the University of Florida, told the Guardian.This is probably why NASA wants an astronaut with a sense of humor. "These are people that have the ability to pull everyone together, " Johnson said.In stressful situations, perhaps humor is a way to know we aren't alone. By laughing together, we share our stress. Then we can focus on our jobs instead of just worrying.There are other examples of team "clowns" . One example is the journey to the South Pole led by Norwegian explorer Roald Amundsen. It was a difficult journey, full of danger. Adolf Lindstrom, a cook atAmundsen's team, was a "clown" . He made people laugh through the whole journey. Amundsen later wrote that Lindstrom was the most valuable member of the team.But if you're hoping that your favorite TV comedian will fly to Mars, that probably won't happen."Being funny won't be enough to land somebody the job, " Johnson said. "They also need to be an excellent scientist and engineer."Besides, they must be in top physical condition.(1) What is NASA's new job listing?A. A funny engineer.B. A talented clown.C. A good cook.D. A popular comedian.(2) What does "a confined space" in Paragraph 3 refer to?A. A crowded space.B. An empty space.C. An open space.D. A small space.(3) How does the author think humor can help astronauts?A. It can stop them from feeling worried.B. It can encourage teamwork on a mission.C. It can help them feel less homesick.D. It can help them know themselves better.(4) What point does the author want to make with the example of the cook?A. What explorers eat on their journey is very important.B. An amateur can play a more important role than a professional.C. Humorous people can cheer people up in difficult situations.D. A mission to Mars is more difficult than a journey to the South Pole.(5) What could be the best title of the passage?A. Keeping the Spirits UpB. A Mission to MarsC. A New Job Listing of NASAD. Humorous Astronauts in NASA20、【来源】 2019年天津河北区高三一模（D篇）第51~55题12.5分2020~2021学年天津和平区天津市第五十五中学高一上学期期中（C篇）第61~65题7.5分Stop wasting your time thinking of reasons for your failures and shortcomings. Instead, realize that the seeds of success were planted within you when you were born. Only you have the power to make those seeds grow.The seeds, and the power to grow them, are contained in the human mind. Success is a choice and not a chance. You can be a success if only you make the right choice.You cannot be successful without first developing your self-esteem（自尊）. Your level of self-esteem is always based on the degree of control that you are able to exercise over yourself, and thus over your life. People with low self-esteem do not believe that they have any power, or responsibility for their life. They are leaves tossed （摆） by the winds of chance blown about with any sudden change in the weather.You can exercise control over your life only to the degree that you believe that you are responsible for whatever happens in your life. Losers think that everything happens by accident while successful people realize that they are responsible.Everything happens as a result of something. If we can identify the cause, we can control the effect. We are responsible for what we consciously choose to accept and believe. Thoughts and beliefs cause everything. Our attitudes and actions are a result of habits ingrained in us over a period of time. One generally rises to the level that one expects. We are responsible for setting our expectations. Our success depends upon our level of confidence. We are responsible for either reinforcing（强化）good habits or kicking bad habits and consciously replacing them with consistently practiced good habits.If you associate with positive-thinking people, you are definitely going to achieve success. On the contrary, the opposite happens. We are responsible for finding, planting, and nurturing（培育）the seeds that contain future victory, born from setbacks.In short, in all areas of your life, whether they are financial, physical, emotional, or spiritual, you are responsible. Once you recognize this, accept it, and firmly believe it, you are on the road to success.(1) People with low self-esteem are compared to leaves because they.A. are ready to change their mindsB. are easily affected by windy weatherC. don't have the power to face their fateD. can't exercise control over themselves(2) Losers would think that.A. success is the result of hard workB. working hard will lead to successC. their failure is only because of bad luckD. they don't make efforts to succeed(3) It can be inferred from Paragraph 5 that.A. whether we will succeed depends on our attitudesB. developing confidence is the key to future successC. thoughts and beliefs are the result of creative mindD. setting our expectations is essential before taking action(4) The last paragraph serves as.A. the proof of the author's pointsB. the conclusion of the argumentC. an introduction to another topicD. a comparison between two views(5) Which is the best title for the passage?A. Success Is a ChoiceB. The Secrets of SuccessC. Develop Our ConfidenceD.

And now her story has become a major movie which is entitled Soul Surfer.On October 31, 2003, at the age of 13, Bethany was attacked by a 15-foot tiger shark while surfing just off the shore of Hawaii. Bethany said, "It came out of the blue. I had no warning at all; not even the slightest sign of danger on the horizon. The waves were small and inconsistent, and I was just kind of rolling along with them, relaxing on my board with my left arm dangling（悬摆）in the cool water. I remember thinking, 'I hope the surf picks up soon…'""That's all it took: a split second. I felt a lot of pressure and a couple of lightning fast tugs（猛拽）. Then I watched in shock as the water around me turned bright red. Somehow, I stayed calm. My left arm was gone along with a huge piece of my surfboard…"Her friends had to get her to the beach, which took 20 minutes of paddling. After losing more than 40 percent of her blood and making it through several surgeries, Bethany was well on her way to recovery due to an unbelievably positive attitude. In January 2004, Bethany made her return to surf competition and with no intention of stopping, Bethany continued to enter and shine in competitions. Initially, she adopted a custom-made board that was longer and slightly thicker than standard and had a handle for her right arm, making it easier to paddle, and she learned to kick more to make up for the loss of her left arm.Just over a year after the attack, she took first place—winning her first National Title. Now she competes with the world's best and travels the globe.(1) What kind of story does the author want to tell us? （no more than 10 words）(2) What is the meaning of the underlined part in Paragraph 2? （no more than 10 words）(3) According to the passage, how did Bethany make a recovery? （no more than 10 words）(4) Why did Bethany learn to kick more when she started surfing again? （no more than 10 words）(5) How does Bethany's story inspire you to overcome difficulties in life?

Social robots are about to bring technology to the everyday world in a more humanized way, said Cynthia Breazeal, chief scientist at the robot company Jibo.While household robots today do the normal housework, social robots will be much more like companions than mere tools. For example, these robots will be able to distinguish when someone is happy or sad. This allows them to respond more appropriately to the user.The Jibo robot, arranged to ship later this year, is designed to be a personalized assistant. You can talk to the robot, ask it questions, and make requests for it to perform different tasks. The robot doesn't just deliver general answers to questions; it responds based on what it learns about each individual in the household. It can do things such as reminding an elderly family member to take medicine or taking family photos.Social robots are not just finding their way into the home. They have potential applications in everything from education to health care and are already finding their way into some of these spaces.Fellow Robots is one company bringing social robots to the market. The company's "Oshbot" robot is built to assist customers in a store, which can help the customers find items and help guide them to the product's location in the store. It can also speak different languages and make recommendations for different items based on what the customer is shopping for.The more interaction the robot has with humans, the more it learns. But Oshbot, like other social robots, is not intended to replace workers, but to work alongside other employees. "We have technologies to train social robots to do things not for us, but with us, " said Breazeal.(1) How are social robots different from household robots?A. They can control their emotions.B. They are more like humans.C. They do the normal housework.D. They respond to users more slowly.(2) What can a Jibo robot do according to Paragraph 3?A. Communicate with you and perform operations.B. Answer your questions and make requests.C. Take your family pictures and deliver milk.D. Obey your orders and remind you to take pills.(3) What can Oshbot work as?A. A language teacher.B. A tour guide.C. A shop assistant.D. A private nurse.(4) We can learn from the last paragraph that social robots will.A. train employeesB. be our workmatesC. improve technologiesD. take the place of workers(5) What does the passage mainly present?A. A new design idea of household robots.B. Marketing strategies for social robots.C. Information on household robots.D. An introduction to social robots.19、【来源】 2015年高考真题天津卷第19题2017~2018学年12月河南洛阳洛龙区洛阳市第一高级中学高二上学期月考第21~25题10分2017~2018学年陕西西安雁塔区陕西师范大学附属中学高三上学期开学考试第24~28题10分One day when I was 12, my mother gave me an order: I was to walk to the public library, and borrow at least one book for the summer. This was one more weapon for her to defeat my strange problem—inability to read.In the library, I found my way into the "Children's Room."I sat down on the floor and pulled a few books off the shelf at random. The cover of a book caught my eye. It presented a picture of a beagle. I had recently had a beagle, the first and only animal companion I ever had as a child. He was my secret sharer, but one morning, he was gone, given away to someone who had the space and the money to care for him. I never forgot my beagle.There on the book's cover was a beagle which looked identical to my dog. I ran my fingers over the picture of the dog on the cover. My eyes ran across the title, Amos, the Beagle with a Plan. Unknowingly, I had read the title. Without opening the book, I borrowed it from the library for the summer.Under the shade of a bush, I started to read about Amos. I read very, very slowly with difficulty. Though pages were turned slowly, I got the main idea of the story about a dog who, like mine, had been separated from his family and who finally found his way back home. That dog was my dog, and I was the little boy in the book. At the end of the story, my mind continued the final scene of reunion, on and on, until my own lost dog and I were, in my mind, running together.My mother's call returned me to the real world. I suddenly realized something: I had read a book, and I had loved reading that book. Everyone knew I could not read. But I had read it. Books could be incredibly wonderful and I was going to read them.I never told my mother about my "miraculous"（奇迹般地）experience that summer, but she sawa slow but remarkable improvement in my classroom performance during the next year. And years later, she was proud that her son had read thousands of books, was awarded a PhD in literature, and authored his own books, articles, poetry and fiction. The power of the words has held.(1) The author's mother told him to borrow a book in order to.A. encourage him to do more walkingB. let him spend a meaningful summerC. help cure him of his reading problemD. make him learn more about weapons(2) The book caught the author's eye because.A. it contained pretty pictures of animalsB. it reminded him of his own dogC. he found its title easy to understandD. he liked children's stories very much(3) Why could the author manage to read the book throughA. He was forced by his mother to read it.B. He identified with the story in the book.C. The book told the story of his pet dog.D. The happy ending of the story attracted him.(4) What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A. The author has become a successful writer.B. The author's mother read the same book.C. The author's mother rewarded him with books.D. The author has had happy summers ever since.(5) Which one could be the best title of the passage?A. The Charm of a BookB. Mum's Strict OrderC. Reunion with My BeagleD. My Passion for Reading20、【来源】 2015年高考真题天津卷第20题DOnce when I was facing a decision that involved high risk, I went to a friend. He looked at me for a moment, and then wrote a sentence containing the best advice I've ever had: Be bold and brave — and mighty (强大的) forces will come to your aid.Those words made me see clearly that when I had fallen short in the past, it was seldom because I had tried and failed. It was usually because I had let fear of failure stop me from trying at all. On the other hand, whenever I had plunged into deep water, forced by courage or circumstance, I had always been able to swim until I got my feet on the ground again.Boldness means a decision tobite off more than you can eat. And there is nothing mysterious about the mighty forces. They are potential powers we possess: energy, skill, sound judgment, creative ideas —even physical strength greater than most of us realize.Admittedly, those mighty forces are spiritual ones. But they are more important than physical ones. A college classmate of mine, Tim, was an excellent football player, even though he weighed much less than the average player. “In one game I suddenly found myself confronting a huge player, who had nothing but me between him and our goal line,” said Tim. “I was so frightened that I closed my eyes and desperately threw myself at that guy like a bullet — and stopped him cold.”Boldness — a willingness to extend yourself to the extreme—is not one that can be acquired overnight. But it can be taught to children and developed in adults. Confidence builds up. Surely, there will be setbacks (挫折) and disappointments in life; boldness in itself is no guarantee of success.

At age 68, he retired from the post office, but he never stopped serving the community.On his 80th birthday, I sent him a letter, noting the things we all should be thankful for — good health, good friends and good outcomes. By most measurements he was a happy man. Then I suggested it was time for him to slow down. At long last, in a comfortable home, with a generous pension, he should learn to take things easy.“Thank you for your nice words,” he wrote in his letter back, “and I know what you meant, but slowing down scares me. Life isn't having it made; it's getting it made.”“The finest and happiest years of our lives were not when all the debts were paid, and all difficult experiences had passed, and we had settled into a comfortable home. No. I go back years ago, when we lived in a three-room house, when we got up before daylight and worked till after dark to make ends meet.I rarely had more than four hours of sleep. But what I still can't figure out is why I never got tired, never felt better in my life. I guess the answer is, we were fighting for survival, protecting and providing for those we loved. What matters are not the great moments, but the partial victories, the waiting, and even the defeats. It's the journey, not the arrival, that counts.”The letter ended with a personal request: “Boy, on my next birthday, just tell me to wake up and get going, because I will have one less year to do things — and there are ten million things waiting to be done.”Christina Rossetti, an English poet, once said: “Does the road wind uphill all the way? Yes, to the very end.” Today, at 96, my grandfather is still on that long road, climbing.(6) What was the author’s grandfather before he retired? (no more than 5 words)(7) What did the author advise his grandfather to do in his letter? (no more than 10 words)(8) What is the grandfather’s view on life according to his letter back? (no more than 10 words)(9) How do you understand the underlined sentence in the last paragraph? (no more than 10 words)(10) Do you agree with the grandfather’s view on life?

The morning after the storm, though, was beautiful: blue skies, warm air and a calm, inviting sea touching the shore gently.My father realized it was a good day for fishing and invited my sister and me to go with him. I was only 14 and fishing had never been my thing, but I decided to go all the same. TAL#NBSP I'm so glad I did.On the road to the harbour we could see the terrible destruction on the coast, but the harbour itself was in fairly good shape. After all, it was protected by the arms of a bay that had only one tiny channel to the sea. As we got on board, we noticed two big humps（脊背）in the distance.On approaching them, we saw it was a mother whale with her baby. We couldn't believe it—there aren't any whales along the coast here. The storm must have driven them across the ocean into the bay, in which the still water was so badly polluted that nothing could survive.The little baby whale—actually as big as our boat—was obviously stuck and could not move. The mother dived under the water and came up suddenly, making big whirlpools（漩涡）and waves. "She's trying to help her baby, but on the wrong side, "my father said. At this point, my father moved our boat in a semicircle to the other side and, heading the boat towards the baby whale, pushed it gently. With our several gentle pushes the big hump turned over and disappeared under water. Then it swam up right beside its mum. They struggled in their desperate attempts to escape but missed the exit and started heading in the wrong direction. We hurried up to the whales and tried to lead them towards the bay channel. Slowly, they let us lead them, some-times rising from the water right beside us to breathe—and to give us a trusting look with those huge eyes. Once they hit their first part of clean water flowing straight from the sea, the mum gave us a wave with her tail and off they swam into the distance.In the excitement it had felt like only a few minutes, but we had been with those wonderful animals for almost an hour and a half. That was the simple and lasting beauty of the day, Nearly four decades later,I still look back fondly to that golden day at sea.(1) The author says "I'm so glad I did." （in Para. 2） because.A. he witnessed the whole process of fishingB. he enjoyed the beauty of the calm seaC. he experienced the rescue of the whalesD. he spent the weekend with his family(2) The harbour survived the storm owing to.A. the shape of the harbourB. the arms of the bayC. the still water in the channelD. the long coast line(3) The mother whale failed to help her baby because.A. she had stayed in the polluted water for too longB. the whirl pools she had made were not big enoughC. she had no other whales around to turn to for helpD. the waves pushed her baby in the wrong direction(4) What is the theme of the story?A. Saving lives brings people a sense of happinessB. Fishing provides excitement for childrenC. It's necessary to live in harmony with animalsD. It's vital to protect the environment13、【来源】 2010年高考真题湖北卷第13题2017~2018学年广东广州海珠区广州市第六中学高三下学期期中（D篇）第32~35题8分2017~2018学年广东广州越秀区广州市第十六中学高一上学期期中第4题2016~2017学年广东广州越秀区广州市第十六中学高一上学期期中第32~35题8分For many parents, raising a teenager is like fighting a long war, but years go by without any clear winner. Like a border conflict between neighboring countries, the parent-teen war is about boundaries: Where is the line between what I control and what you do?Both sides want peace, but neither feels it has any power to stop the conflict. In part, this is because neither is willing to admit any responsibility for starting it. From the parents' point of view, the only cause of their fight is their adolescents' complete unreasonableness. And of course, TAL#NBSP the teens see it in exactly the same way, except oppositely.Both feel trapped.In this article, I'll describe three no-win situations that commonly arise between teens and parents and then suggest some ways out of the trap. The first no-win situation is quarrels over unimportant things. Examples include the color of the teen's hair, the cleanliness of the bedroom, the preferred style of clothing, the child's failure to eat a good breakfast before school, or his tendency to sleep until noon on the weekends. Second, blaming. The goal of a blaming battle is to make the other admit that his bad attitude is the reason why everything goes wrong. Third, needing to be right, It doesn't matter what the topic is—politics. The laws of physics, or the proper way to break an egg—the point of these arguments is to prove that you are right and the other person is wrong. for both wish to be considered an authority—someone who actually knows something — and therefore to command respect. Unfortunately, as long as long as parents and teens continue to assume that they know more than the other, they'll continue to fight these battles forever and never make any real progress.(1) Why does the author compare the parent-teen war to a border conflict?A. Both can continue for generations.B. Both are about where to draw the lineC. Neither has any clear winnerD. Neither can be put to an end(2) What does the underlined part in Paragraph 2 mean?A. The teens blame their parents for starting the conflict.B. The teens agree with their parents on the cause of the conflictC. The teens cause their parents of misleading themD. The teens tend to have a full understanding of their parents(3) Parents and teens want to be right because they want to.A. give orders to the otherB. know more than the otherC. gain respect from the otherD. get the other to behave properly(4) What will the author most probably discuss in the paragraph that follows?A. Causes for the parent –teen conflictsB. Examples of the parent –teen war.C. Solutions for the parent –teen problemsD. Future of the parent-teen relationship14、【来源】 2010年高考真题湖北卷（C篇）第59~62题8分(每题2分)2010年高考真题湖北卷（C篇）第14题2017~2018学年北京西城区北京师范大学附属中学高二下学期期中第64~67题8分They wear the latest fashions with the most up-to-date accessories （配饰）. Yet these are girls in their teens or twenties but women in their sixties and seventies. A generation which would once only wear old-fashioned clothes is now favoring the same high street looks worn by those half their age.Professor Julia Twigg, a social policy expert, said, "Women over 75 are now shopping for clothes more frequently than they did when they were young in the 1960s. In the 1960s buying a coat for a woman was a serious matter. It was an expensive item that they would purchase only every three or four years —now you can pick one up at the supermarket whenever you wish to. Fashion is a lot cheaper and people get tired of things more quickly. "Professor Twigg analyzed family expending（支出）data and found that while the percentage of spending on clothes and shoes by women had stayed around the same—and 5 or 6 per cent of spending—the amount of clothes bought had risen sharply.The professor said, "Clothes are now 70 per cent cheaper than they were in the 1960s because of the huge expansion of production in the Far East. In the 1960s Leeds was the heart of the British fashion industry and that was where most of the clothes came from, but now almost all of our clothes are sourced elsewhere. Everyone is buying more clothes but in general we are not spending more money on them. "Fashion designer Angela Barnard, who runs her own fashion business in London, said older women were much more affected by celebrity（名流） style than in previous years.She said, "When people see stars such as Judi Dench and Helen Mirren looking attractive and fashionable in their sixties, they want to follow them. Older women are much more aware of celebrities. There's also the boom in TV programmes showing people how they can change their look, and many of my older customers do yoga to stay in shape well in their fifties. When I started my business a few years ago, my older customers tended to be very rich, but now they are what I would call ordinary women. My own mother is 61 and she wears the latest fashions in a way she would never have done ten years ago. "(1) Professor Twigg found that, compared with the 1960s,.A. the price of clothes has generally fallen by 70%B. the spending on clothes has increased by 5% or 6%C. people spend 30% less than they did on clothesD. the amount of clothes bought has risen by 5% or 6%(2) What can we learn about old women in terms of fashionA. They are often ignored by fashion designers.B. They are now more easily influenced by stars.C. They are regarded as pioneers in the latest fashion.D. They are more interested in clothes because of their old age.(3) It can be concluded that old women tend to wear the latest fashions today mainlybecauseA. they get tired of things more quicklyB. TV shows teach them how to change their lookC. they are in much better shape nowD. clothes are much cheaper than before(4) Which is the best possible title of the passage?A.

The author, W. H. Armstrong, starts with the basics: reading and writing. In his opinion, reading doesn't just mean recognizing each word on the page; it means taking in the information, digesting it and incorporating it into oneself just as one digests a sandwich and makes it a part of him. The goal is to bring the information back to life, not just to treat it as dead facts on paper from dead trees. Reading and writing cannot be completely separated from each other; in fact, the aim of reading is to express the information you have got from the text. I've seen it again and again：some-one who can't express an idea after reading a text is just as ineffective as someone who hasn't read it at all.Only a third of the book remains after that discussion, which Armstrong devotes to specific tips for studying languages, math, science and history. He generally handles these topics thoroughly（透彻地）and equally, except for some weakness in the science and math sections and a bit too much passion（激情） regarding history to his students, that was a hundred times more than my history teachers ever got across. To my disappointment, in this part of the book he ignores the arts. As a matter of fact, they demand all the concentration and study that math and science do, though the study differs slightly in kind. Although it's commonly believed that the arts can only be naturally acquired, actually, learning the arts is no more natural than learning French or mathematics.My other comment is that the text aged.The first edition apparently dates to the 1960s—none of the references（参考文献）seem newer than the late 1950s. As a result, the discussion misses the entire computer age.These are small points, though, and don't affect the main discussion. I recommend it to any student and any teacher, including the self-taught student.(1) According to Armstrong, the goal of reading is to.A. gain knowledge and expand one's viewB. understand the meaning between the linesC. experts ideas based on what one has readD. gets information and keeps it alive in memory(2) The author of the passage insists that learning the arts.A. requires great effortsB. demands real passionC. is less natural than learning mathsD. is as natural as learning a language(3) What is a shortcoming of Armstrong's work according to the author?A. Some ideas are slightly contradictory.B. There is too much discussion on studying science.C. The style is too serious.D. It lacks new information.(4) This passage can be classified as.A. an advertisementB. a book reviewC. a feature storyD. a news report16、【来源】 2010年高考真题湖北卷E篇第67~70题8分(每题2分)2010年高考真题湖北卷第16题EHave you winterized your horse yet? Even though global warming may have made our climate more mild, many animals are still hibernating(冬眠). It’s too bad that humans can’t hibernate. In fact,as a species, we almost did.Apparently, at times in the past, peasants in France liked a semi-state of human hibernation. So writes Graham Robb, a British scholar who has studied the sleeping habits of the French peasants. As soon as the weather turned cold people all over France shut themselves away and practiced the forgotten art of doing nothing at all for months on end.In line with this, Jeff Warren, a producerat CBC Radio’s The Current, tells us that the way we sleep has changed fundamentally since the invention of artificial(人造的) lighting and the electric bulb.When historians began studying texts of the Middle Ages, they noticed something referred to as “first sleep”, which was not clarified, though. Now scientists are telling us our ancestors most likely slept in separate periods. The business of eight hours’ uninterrupted sleep is a modern invention.In the past, without the artificial light of the city to bathe in, humans went to sleep when it became dark and then woke themselves around midnight. The late night period was known as “The Watch”It was when people actually kept watch against wild animals, although many of them simply moved around or visited family and neighbours.According to some sleep researchers,a short period of insomnia(失眠) at midnight is not a disorder. It is normal. Humans can experience another state of consciousness around their sleeping, which occurs in the brief period before we fall asleep or wake ourselves in the morning. This period can be an extraordinarily creative time for some people. The impressive inventor,Thomas Edison, used this state to hit upon many of his new ideas.Playing with your sleep rhythms can be adventurous, as anxiety may set in. Medical science doesn’t help much in this case. It offers us medicines for a full night’s continuous sleep, which sounds natural;however, according to Warren’s theory，it is really the opposite of what we need.(1) The example of the French peasants shows the fact that________.A. people might become lazy as a result of too much sleepB. there were signs of hibernation inhuman sleeping habitsC. people tended to sleep more peacefully in cold weatherD. winter was a season for people to sleep for months on end(2) The late night was called “The Watch” because it was a time for people______.A. to set traps to catch animalsB. to wake up their family and neighboursC. to remind others of the timeD. to guard against possible dangers(3) What does the author advise people to do?A. Sleep in the way animals do.B. Consult a doctor if they can’t sleep.C. Follow their natural sleep rhythm.D. Keep to the eight-hour sleep pattern.(4) What is the author’s purpose in writing the passage?A. To give a prescription for insomnia.B. To urge people to sleep less.C. To analyze the sleep pattern of modern people.D. To throw new light on human sleep.四、完成句子17、【来源】 2010年高考真题湖北卷第17题阅读下列各小题，根据括号内的汉语提示，用句末括号内的英语单词完成句子，并将答案写在答题卡上的相应题号后。

"The door to his room is always shut." Joanna noted.Tina and Mark noticed similar changes in their 14-year old daughter She used to cuddle up（蜷伏）with me on the sofa and talk, said Mark. "Now we joke that she does this only when she wants something. Sometimes she wants to be treated like a little girl and sometimes like a young lady. The problem is figuring out which time is which."Before age 11, children like to tell their parents what's on their minds. "In fact, parents are first on the list." said Michael Riera, author of Uncommon Sense for Parents with Teenagers. "This completely changes during the ten years." Riera explained. "They talk to their friends first, then maybe their teachers, and their parents last."Parents who know what's going on in their teenagers' lives are in the best position to help them. To break down the wall of silence, parents should create chances to under-stand what their children want to say, and try to find ways to talk and write to them. And they must give their children a mental break, forchildren also need freedom, though young. Another thing parents should remember is that to be a friend, not a manager, with their children is a better way to know them.(1) "The door to his room is always shut" suggests that the son.A. is always busy with his studiesB. doesn't want to be disturbedC. keeps himself away from his parentsD. begins to dislike his parents(2) What troubles Tina and Mark most is that.A. their daughter isn't as lovely as beforeB. they can't read their daughter's mind exactlyC. they don't know what to say to their daughterD. their daughter talks with them only when she needs help(3) Which of the following best explains "the wall of silence" in the last paragraph?A. Teenagers talk a lot with their friends.B. Teenagers do not want to understand their parents.C. Teenagers do not talk much with their parents.D.

How? Packaging （包装） is the silent but persuading salesman.There on the shelves, each bottle, can, box, and jar has been carefully designed and measured to speak to the inner self of the consumer （消费者）, so that is buying not only a product but also his belief in life. Scientists have studied consumer behavior recently and found that the look of the package has a great effect on the "quality" of the product and on how well it sells, because "Consumers generally cannot tell between a product and its package. Many products are packages and many packages are products, " as Louis Cheskin, the first social scientist studying consumers' feeling for packaging, noticed.Colors are one of the best tools in packaging. Studies of eye movement have shown that colors draw human attention quickly. Take V8 for example. For many years, the bright red color of tomatoes and carrots on the thin bottle makes you feel that it is very good for your body. And the word "green" today can keep food prices going up.Shapes are another attraction. Circles often suggest happiness and peacefulness, because these shapes are pleasing to both the eye and the heart. That's why the round yellow M signs of McDonald's are inviting to both young and old.This new consumer response （反应） to the colors and shapes of packages reminds producers and sellers that people buy to satisfy both body and soul.(1) According to the passage,seems to be able to persuade a consumer to buy the product.A. the pleasing color of the packageB. the special taste of the productC. the strange shape of the packageD. the belief in the product(2) If a package or a product is round in shape, it can.A. bring excitement to the consumersB. attract the consumers' attentionC. catch the eye movement of the consumersD. produce a happy and peaceful feeling(3) "And the word 'green' today can keep food prices going up." this sentence suggests that consumers today are.A. starting to notice the importance of new foodB. enjoying the beauty of nature more than beforeC. beginning to like green vegetablesD. paying more attention to their health(4) It can be inferred from the passage that V8 is a kind of.A. vegetable dishB. healthy juiceC. iced drinkD. red vegetable19、【来源】 2004年高考真题辽宁卷(C篇)第64~67题8分(每题2分)International Studies（BA）Key features● Recognizes theglobal community（国际社会）●Has close connections with practical research●Much of the teaching is done in small discussion groupsAbout the courseThe course gives you chances to know great power politics between nation states.

When you take a walk over the great open space of the central square, you will hear seabirds screaming. When you take the tram, suddenly and unexpectedly, you are faced with a calm, shining blue sea. You may notice that people in Helsinki do not rush about as in other cities. Instead, they walk along the roads, politely letting other people by.A usual way to see Helsinki for the first time is to start out by the boats. You will walk by the elderly women selling fish and vegetables in the market square and find yourself in front of a beautiful park. You may enjoy a pleasant walk in the park for a few hours and then take the tram. Trams are the perfect way to get around in Helsinki. Watching the old houses, parks, theatres churches, shops, restaurants and people in the streets, you may have a slightly sad film feeling to it.The pale summer nights are another wonder in the city. Following the water front of the city after sunset, you couldn't help stopping and listening to the sweet silence, interrupted only by the screaming seabirds and leaving fishing boats.However, in some way, Helsinki is also the most modern city in northern Europe. You will surely want to visit the White Glass Palace, the modern art museum, and all those extremely popular cafes and design stores.(1) Helsinki is called a city of two colors mainly because of the colors of its.A. 19th century buildings, boats and parksB. 19th century buildings, boats and seabirdsC. old houses, parks and tramsD. old buildings, boats and the sea(2) The best way to see most of Helsinki is to go.A. by boatB. by busC. by tramD. on foot(3) The 19th century buildings, the White Glass Palace, popular cafes and design shops in Helsin ki all show that Helsin ki is.A. both splendid and traditionalB. both quiet and noisyC. both historical and modernD. both old and new(4) This passage is most likely to be found in.A. a story-bookB. a geography textbookC. a research reportD. a travel magazine21、【来源】 2004年高考真题辽宁卷（E篇）第72~75题8分(每题2分)2020~2021学年3月陕西西安莲湖区西安远东教育集团第一中学高一下学期月考（B篇）第24~27题8分(每题2分)2018~2019学年北京海淀区首都师范大学附属中学高二上学期期中（C篇）第59~62题8分2019~2020学年3月湖北黄冈黄州区湖北省黄冈中学高一下学期月考第24~27题10分Thinking is something you choose to do as a fish chooses to live in water. To be human is to think. But thinking may come naturally without your knowing how you do it. Thinking about thinking is the key to critical thinking. When you think critically, you take control of your thinking processes. Otherwise, you might be controlled by the ideas of others. Indeed, critical thinking is at the heart of education.The word "critical" here has a special meaning. It does not mean taking one view against another view, as when someone criticizes another person for doing something wrong. The nature of critical thinking isthinking beyond the easily seen---beyond the pictures on TV, the untrue reports in the newspapers, and the faulty reasoning.Critical thinking is an attitude as much as an activity. If you are curious about life and desire to dig deeper into it, you are a critical thinker. If you find pleasure in deep thinking about different ideas, characters, and facts, you are a critical thinker.Activities of the mind and higher-order reasoning are processes of deep and careful consideration. They take time, and do not go hand in hand with the fast speed in today's world: fast foods, instant coffee, and self-developing film. If you are among the people who believe that speed is a measure of intelligence, you may learn something new from a story about Albert Einstein. The first time Banesh Hoffman, a scientist, was to discuss his work with Albert Einstein. Hoffman was too nervous to speak. But Einstein immediately put Hoffman at ease by saying, "Please go slowly. I don't understand things quickly."(1) Critical thinking is important to us because if we do not think critically,.A. it will be hard for us to think naturally and fastB. we might be controlled by other people's ideasC. we will follow the ideas of others naturallyD. we might be fooled by other people's ideas(2) If you are a critical thinker, you will.A. think deeply about different ideasB. trust the reports in the newspapersC. take one view against another viewD. criticize other people for their mistakes(3) In the last paragraph, "something new" suggests that.A. the smarter you are, the faster you do thingsB. the faster you do things, the smarter you becomeC. speed can improve intelligenceD. intelligence is not decided by speed(4) What would be the best title for the passage?A. Thinking and Critical Thinking.B. Understanding Critical Thinking.C. Thinking Is Natural and Human.D. Thinking Fast Means Intelligence.四、短文填空（每小题1分，共10分）22、【来源】 2004年高考真题辽宁卷第76~85题10分(每题1分)此题要求改正所给短文中的错误。

The Bass Rock is a small volcanic island just off the east coast of Scotland. Remarkable in the Scottish imagination for its landform and location in the Firth of Forth near Edinburgh, the island has had a thin and intermittent(断断续续)human population across the centuries. Its most notable and sustained inhabitants are the northern gannets that have lived on the island throughout recorded history. With a population of roughly 150,000 birds, their home is the largest in the world.The English naturalist June Nelson is one of the few people who have lived on the Bass Rock. For three years in the early 1960s. she and her late husband, the ornithologist Bryan Nelson. who was researching gannets at the University of Oxford, made the island theirtemporary home. Living and working out of a small church, they devoted themselves to observing and recording the behaviors and ecology of the birds. The then-newly-married had little contact with the outside world, but led a happy life together.In the short documentary Life on the Rocks, Nelson revisits her full and focused yearson the Bass Rock. Combining cinematic black-and-white shots of the island with music. the UK director George Pretty creates a vivid account of Nelson’s unforgettable time there, aswell as her em otional return. Mining Nelson’s memories and old photographs, the film explores how the husband-and-wife team found happiness on this unique patch of Earth, and among its many birds. But, more than just a fondness for the past, Nelson communicates an urgency to protect the plummeting(暴跌)global sea-bird population, which has declined by 70% in her lifetime, asking “What right have we to deprive(剥夺)future generations of this wonderful place?”39．What do we know about the Bass Rock from Paragraph 1?A．It is owned by a couple. B．It is heavily populated.C．It is gannets’ largest habitat.D．It is famous for its scenery.40．Why did June Nelson live on the island?A．To research birds. B．To make their home.C．To live a happy life. D．To stay away from the outside. 41．What does Life on the Rocks intend to tell us?A．Nelson’s research about the birds.B．The couple’s fondness for the past. C．Nelson’s description of the island.D．Nelson’s concerns about the birds’ situation.42．Which best describes the couple’s life on the island?A．Tough but worthwhile. B．Dangerous but admirable.C．Smooth and fruitful. D．Inspiring and lucky.Given the buzz it’s created, there’s a good chance you’ve heard about ChatGPT. It’s an interactive chatbot powered by machine learning. The technology has basically devoured the entire Internet, reading the collective works of humanity and learning patterns in languagethat it can recreate. All you have to do is give it a prompt (提示), and ChatGPT can do an endless array of things: write a story in a particular style, answer a question, explain a concept, compose an email—write a college essay-and it will spit out coherent, seeminglyhuman—written text in seconds. The technology is both awesome and terrifying.22-year-old Edward Tian is working feverishly on a new app to combat misuse of ChatGPT.Over the last couple years, Tian has been studying an AI system called GPT-3, a predecessor to ChatGPT that was less user-friendly and largely inaccessible to the general public because it was behind a paywall. As part of his studies this fall semester, Tian researched how to detect text written by the AI system while working at Princeton’s Natural Language Processing Lab.Then, as the semester was coming to a close, OpenAI, the company behind GPT-3 and other AI tools, released ChatGPT to the public for free. For the millions of people around the world who have used it since, interacting with the technology has been like getting a peek into the future; a future that not too long ago would have seemed like science fiction.For many users of the new technology, wonderment quickly turned to alarm. How-many jobs will this kill? Will this empower nefarious (恶意的) actors and further corrupt our public discourse (公共话语)? How will this disrupt our education system? What is the point of learning to write essays at school when AI-which is expected to get exponentially better in the near future-can do that for us?Tian had an idea. What if he applied what he had learned at school over the last couple years to help the public identify whether something has been written by a machine?Tian already had the know-how and even the software on his laptop to create such a program. Ironically, this software, called GitHub Co-Pilot, is powered by GPT-3. With its assistance, Tian was able to create a new app within three days. It’s a testament to the power of this technology to make us more productive.On January 2nd, Tian released his app GPTZero. It basically uses ChatGPT against itself, checking whether “there’s zero involvement or a lot of involvement” of the AI system in creating a given text.When Tian went to bed that night, he didn’t expect much for his app. When he woke up, his phone had blown up. He saw countless texts and DMs from journalists, principals, teachers, you name it, from places as far away as France and Switzerland. His app, which is hosted by a free platform, became so popular it crashed. Excited by the popularity and purpose of his app, the hosting platform has since granted Tian the resources needed to scale the app’s services to a mass audience.43．Which of the following statements is TRUE about GPT-3?A．It’s designed and researched by Edward Tian in Princeton UniversityB．Not many ordinary people have used it because it is not free.C．It is in the same AI system series as ChatGPT and GPTZero.D．It used to be less user-friendly than ChatGPT but has outdone it now. 44．Wonderment at ChatGPT quickly turned to alarm because many users have the following concerns over ChatGPT EXCEPT _______.A．AI may replace human beings in the future when it comes to writing essays.B．Actors may turn bad or even evil if the new technology is adopted in acting.C．The education system may be badly impacted by the misuse of the new technology. D．Many people may be out of employment because of the new technology. 45．Principals and teachers may get interested in Edward Tian’s new app probably because _______.A．the app is hosted by a free platform which is very popular.B．they know many journalists are also very interested in it.C．they are eager to share the resources Edward Tian is granted.D．they are worried about the possibility of students cheating in writing.46．Which of the following expressions can best describe the principle behind GPTZero? A．Harm set, harm get. B．Birds of a feather flock together. C．Fight a man with his own weapon. D．Great minds think alike.Psychological science is full of interesting topics, many of which tell a coherent picture of human nature, but some of which create seemingly contradictory stories. A case in point is the tricky, and misunderstood, overlap between strength-based science and the research on narcissism (自恋).There is now convincing evidence to show that narcissism is on the rise, especially in our youth. Some researchers have gone so far as to say that it is occurring in epidemic proportions, with about 25% of young people showing symptoms of narcissism. The inflated ego of Generation Me is reflected in reality TV, celebrity worship, out-of-control consumerism and materialism…perhaps even a new type of president.We are correct to be concerned about this phenomenon but our fear that all kids are potential narcissists has caused an unhelpful counter-reaction to approaches that seek to makeour children and teens feel good about themselves.In my own research on strength-based parenting it is common for people to wrongly label this approach as a recipe for narcissism. Their argument seems to be that a child who knows their strengths will automatically view themselves as better than everyone else. It is argued that the self-assurance that comes with identifying and using their positive qualities will make a child arrogant, selfish and uncaring. Genuine confidence about one's strengths is categorized as over-confidence; desirable self-knowledge is branded as excessiveself-admiration.Why does this occur? It's partly because more is known about narcissism than strengths. While strengths psychology has largely stayed within the limit of academic journals or has been applied only within certain contexts such as the workplace, research on narcissism has made its way into the mass media and into our collective consciousness. The New York Times noted that narcissism is a favored "go-to" topic and that people everywhere are diagnosing others with it.The fear that a strength-based approach will cause narcissism also occurs because we unknowingly fall prey to binary (非此即彼) thinking. We mistakenly believe that one cannot be both confident and humble. We focus on Donald Trump and Kim Kardashian rather than Mahatma Gandhi and Mother Teresa. There's no way that Gandhi and Mother Teresa could have achieved what they did without confidence in their strengths, and yet they are both pillars of modesty and selflessness.When we assume that strength-focus is the same as a self-focus, We fail to entertain the idea that people who know their strengths are, actually, more likely to be pro-social and focus on helping others.It's tempting to conclude that every young person is at risk of becoming a narcissist but I'd like to stand up for the thousands of young kids I have worked with who are caring, thoughtful and humble — even when they use their strengths.47．Why teenagers' strengths are often mistaken for narcissism?A．Strengths psychology is less accessible to the general public.B．Academic journals and mass media report more on narcissism.C．There is a lack of strengths in our collective consciousness.D．Numbers of people are diagnosed with narcissism by doctors.48．The author mentions Gandhi and Teresa in paragraph 6 to show that________.A．they are both victims of binary thinkingB．one can be both modest and sure of himselfC．confidence is quite important for celebritiesD．public figures unknowingly fall prey to narcissism49．What's the author's attitude towards young kids' strength-based approaches? A．Skeptical.B．Favorable.C．Neutral.D．Cautious.50．Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A．Teens' Strength PsychologyB．Teens' Narcissism DiagnosisC．Teen's Anxiety and DepressionD．Teens' Confidence Misunderstood四、阅读表达阅读短文，按照题目要求用英语回答问题。

Besides, a River Seine trip allows you to rest your legs and enjoy the sights; book a brunch, lunch, or dinner trip to combine your sightseeing with a French meal, or choose the Eiffel Tower to enjoy two of Paris’ most popular activities on one tour.Things to Know Before You GoWhile you are running through Paris’ main tourist areas, the River Seine is hard to miss; you won’t have to go far to find it. There are more than 30 bridges over the Seine in Paris. You should wear comfortable shoes for walking along the banks and bridges and be prepared for crowds on popular bridges like Pont des Arts.When to Get ThereFor a peaceful walk, head to the river in the early morning hours before most of the crowds and travelers arrive. Or go for an after-dinner walk to take in the scenery of the City of Light on the water.Visiting Canal Saint-MartinIn northeast Paris, the Canal Saint-Martin area is a place where you can see footbridges and modern locals instead of the Seine’s traffic and tourists. Enjoy a more relaxing moment. 36．Which of the following can be used to describe the River Seine?A．A riverboat provider.B．A good place to swim.C．A dividing line in Paris.D．An ancient sightseeing place. 37．Which is the best line to walk along to see the River Seine according to the author?A．From the Right Bank to the Left Bank.B．From Les Invalides to Ile Saint-Louis.C．From Pont Alexandre Ⅲ to Pont Royal.D．From Pont des Arts to the Eiffel Tower.38．What can we know about the River Seine from the passage?A．It is too far away to be found.B．Popular bridges over it may be very crowded.C．It is so wide that there are few bridges across it.D．Comfortable clothes should be prepared when you walk over its bank.39．When does the author suggest visiting the River Seine?A．At midnight.B．At the dinner time.C．The time when there aren’t crowds.D．The time when other travelers arrive.40．What can we infer from the passage?A．Travelers should bring enough food before visiting the River Seine.B．Travelers can see the Seine’s traffic and tourists in the Canal Saint-Martin area.C．It’s a good choice to visit the Eiffel Tower on another tour after visiting the Seine.D．It’s a good idea to see the Seine and enjoy a French meal at the same time.Abby Bell loves her job at Haley House, a soup kitchen in Boston’s South End. On a recent weekday morning she was busy greeting guests, helping volunteers, preparing pots of fresh coffee, and answering endless questions. “Butter? We have tons.” “Cups? I’ll grab some for you.”“Without this place there would be no me. These people are angels,” says Linda, a regular guest at Haley House’s free morning breakfast.That feeling is created by Haley House, a program that for five decades has approached social issues facing Boston’s South End community through its soup kitchen, cheap housing, urban gardens, and education programs. The organization welcomes homeless people or those living in low-income housing as a valuable part of the larger community. “It’s really important to know people as people,” says Ms.Federici, who also works for the organization while serving in the kitchen.Instead of relying on volunteers or drive-by helpers to work in its soup kitchen, Haley House seeks out people of all ages and backgrounds who are interested in staying there for two years to help solve the social problems in South End. In exchange, they receive room and board, running its kitchen and caring for its guests.The biggest offering that Haley House has to Boston is, it’s an example of how all these pieces are linked — food, training, jobs, housing. “We couldn’t solve that whole problem of housing homeless people. We couldn’t give jobs to everybody. But what we did was we created models,” says Ms. McKenna, who is now retired from Haley House.“There is that strong connection to the community that Haley House workers are able to develop over their time here,” says Sean, who delivers food to Haley House. “They are really passionate about food, but more importantly, about people.”41．Which of the following best describes Abby Bell?A．Warm-hearted.B．Sharp-minded.C．Generous.D．Intelligent.42．What is Haley House intended for?A．Popularizing local soup culture.B．Educating South End neighbors.C．Helping build a better community.D．Stressing the importance of people. 43．What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 3 mean?A．It’s important to know people.B．It’s important to respect people equally.C．It’s important to know people you are familiar with.D．It’s important to know more people.44．What do we know about Haley House workers?A．They are talented cooks.B．They do the job for free.C．They live in Haley House.D．They come from Boston.45．What is the best title for the text?A．From Haley to Boston: A Popular ModelB．Haley House: A Developing OrganizationC．Abby Bell: A Worker at Haley HouseD．Haley House: Full of HopeRecently, a Chinese app known as Zao has been going viral (疯传) on the Internet, getting thousands of downloads (下载), mainly because it lets its users put their face over the top of actors in scenes from movies or TV shows. It went to number one on the Chinese iOS App Store list and has been the most-downloaded free app in just a few days after it came out.A Twitter user who is mad about Zao has achieved a little fame by sharing the Zaovideos of himself in famous TV and movie scenes online. His videos show that he really looks like the main actor in the movies “The Hulk”,“Titanic”, and in the TV drama “Game of Thrones”, which takes just eight seconds. However, the Zao app is only available for people with a Chinese phone number, which means it cannot be downloaded from app stores in the USA or Europe.The app is based on a new computer technology called deepfake which has spread on the Internet. The word “deepfake” is a combination of “deep learning”, which is an important part of artificial intelligence (AI人工智能) and “fake”, which means not real.The new computer technology is causing people to be worried about more fake news and other things that can mislead them. Deepfake software allows people to replace part of a picture or video with another picture or video. The result is a fake video. The software means you can put your face over the face of a talking president or movie star. This process will make your face speak in the voice of that president or movie star. Many American people are worried that the technology will be used in some important national activities.Other people worry that they might lose their facial recognition data. It is possible that hackers (黑客) could steal this data from app companies and use it to hack into users’ phones and steal their money.46．What can users do with the help of Zao?A．They can perform in real TV shows.B．They can download movies for free.C．They can put their faces into popular videos.D．They can make themselves look more beautiful.47．It can be inferred from the passage that_____.A．an online app based on Zao is designedB．Zao achieved success after it came outC．the new app is only available for Twitter usersD．it will take a long time to replace actors’ faces with yours48．What is the weakness of Zao?A．Its high price.B．Its difficult operation.C．Its outdated system.D．Its limitation of users.49．What do Paragraphs 4 and 5 talk about?A．Why people worry about the new computer technology.B．How to use the new computer technology the right way.C．Why so many people like using deepfake software.D．How to stop hackers from using deepfake software.50．What can we learn from the passage?A．It’s safe to use Zao and other deepfake software.B．The new deepfake app will soon lose most of its users.C．Many users prefer Zao to deepfake because of its price.D．Different people have different opinions about Zao.Teens are now less likely to do part-time jobs, drink alcohol or go out without their parents than teens 10 or 20 years ago. This generation of teens is delaying (推迟) the responsibilities and pleasures of adulthood. Some people think that today’s teens are more responsible. Others have suggested that today’s teens aren’t working because they are simply lazy.To figure out what’s really going on, we should look at these trends (趋势) with “life history theory” taken into consideration. A “fast life method” was the most common parenting approach in the mid-20th century, when fewer high technology devices were available and the average woman had four children. The parents needed to focus on day-to-day survival. As a result, kids needed to take care of themselves sooner. A “slow life method” on the other hand is more common in times and places where families have fewer children and spend more time on each child’s growth and development. When an average family has two children, preparing for college can begin as early as primary schools. There is a clear difference between the two methods. The two methods are adaptations to a particular cultural background, so each isn’t naturally “good”or “bad”.Delaying exposure (接触) to alcohol, then, could make young adults less prepared to deal with drinking in college. One study found teens who rapidly increased their binge-drinking (酗酒) were more at risk of alcohol dependence than those who learned to drink over a longer period of time. The same might be true for teens who don’t work, drive or go out much in high school. College teachers describe students who can’t do anything without calling their parents.However, the “slow-life method” is also likely beneficial as teens are spending more time developing socially and emotionally before they drive, drink alcohol and work for pay.The key is to make sure that teens eventually get the opportunity to develop the skills they will need as adults: independence, along with social and decision making skills. For parents, this might mean pushing their teenagers out of the house more.51．Compared with teens nowadays, which can best describe teens in the past?A．Believable.B．Outgoing.C．Intelligent.D．Independent.52．What plays a key role in the trend of teens growing up more slowly?A．Social comments.B．Cultural changes.C．Educational development.D．Methods of education.53．What does the author advise parents to do?A．Spend less time in taking care of their children.B．Force their children to leave home at an early age.C．Encourage their children to take part in social activities.D．Help their children to get to adulthood as soon as possible.54．Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A．How teens develop skills they need in future.B．Teens take no responsibility for what they do.C．Why today’s teens aren’t in any hurry to grow up.D．Nowadays teens can’t make decisions by themselves.55．In which part of a magazine can we read this passage?A．Society.B．Education.C．Business.D．Entertainment.四、阅读表达阅读短文，按照题目要求用英语回答问题。

Many are work-related; others are academic. You'll need to look beyond the course title because courses with almost the same name may differ enormously. For example, if you're interested in construction but wish to use your creative skills, you may be better suited to a building design management course than a building project management course. Styleof learningThink about the style of learning that best suits you. It's important to study a subject that you particularly enjoy, but if you want to follow a career in a different area, you may consider taking the subjects you want to learn and joining them into one degree. Many degree courses are made up of different subject modules which deal with particular areas of interest.Choosing where to studyWhere you study can be almost as important as what you study. One thing to consider is whether you want to live at home or move away. For some people, living at home offers the best of both worlds, but it may make sense to move if you want to study a particular course at a specific university or college. Many students value the experience of living on campus or in a different part of the country as an important part of university life.Finding out more about coursesOnce you've got a list of courses that appeal to you, it's worth looking at some other sources of information about them, like independent reports. These provide information on the numbers of students who finished the course, student satisfaction and more.Open daysOpen days usually take place in spring or autumn. Although you may have an idea about what a course is like, there's no substitute（替代）for attending a class yourself. If you can't come on the open days, you can sign up for a guided tour instead.(1) You need to look beyond the course title because courses with similar names may be.A. creativity-focusedB. work-relatedC. far differentD. quite similar(2) What are you advised to do if your interest disagrees with your future career?A. Add preferred subjects to your degree courses.B. Choose the subjects based on your interest.C. Earn different degrees.D. Give up your interest.(3) What do we learn about from Para. 4?A. Disadvantages of studying on campus.B. Reasons for choosing where to study.C. Importance of attending a nearby college.D. Problems of going to a faraway university.(4) Why is it recommended to check independent reports?A. To increase applicants' interest.B. To better understand a course.C. To figure out how to complete a course.D. To find out how different the courses are.(5) On the open days, would-be college students can.A. sign up for a particular courseB. take a guided tour on the campusC. see whether there is a substitute courseD. have a first-hand experience of a course18、【来源】 2018年3月高考真题天津卷（B篇）第41~45题12.5分2020~2021学年天津河西区高二上学期期中（A篇）第41~45题10分With a satisfied smile, Keisha finished the last sentence of her English essay about one of her heroes, Rosa Parks, an important figure in the Civil Rights Movement."Keisha, " her mother shouted from downstairs. "It's almost 4:15.""Don't worry. I won't be late." Keisha pulled down a storybook from her bookshelf, as she always read to the nursing home's residents. And on an impulse（一时心血来潮）, she added her English notebook as well.As Keisha came running in the door, the manager told her, "We have a new resident this week, Mrs. Ruby Watson. She's still adjusting to her new surroundings. You'll find her in Room 28. And by the way, Keisha, good luck."Keisha walked down the hallway at a quick pace. As she entered Room 28, she met two sharp brown eyes staring at her doubtfully."I'm Keisha Jackson, a volunteer, " Keisha explained. "I come here to help pass the time with residents, or read to them, or, …" Keisha started stammering（结巴）as Mrs. Watson continued to stare at her."I didn't request anyone to keep me company, " Mrs. Watson interrupted. "I'm alone most of the time, and that's how I prefer it.""I brought along some funny stories, " Keisha said hesitantly."I'm not in the mood for funny stories, " Mrs. Watson replied angrily. "What else do you have? "Nervously, Keisha opened her notebook to her essay. She read the title aloud, "Rosa Parks: A Woman of Courage and Conviction（信念）." She glanced at Mrs. Watson to see how she might react, but to her surprise, Mrs. Watson's face relaxed and her eyes shone."Read to me about Rosa, " Mrs. Watson said.Keisha read how Rosa Parks' refusal to give up her seat to a white passenger on a bus in 1955 inspired the protest that became a turning point in the struggle for civil rights."I walked with Rosa Parks and Dr. Martin Luther King, " Mrs. Watson said with pride."That was the greatest moment of my life because…" She paused."Because… you were a woman of courage and conviction too."Sitting up straighter, Mrs. Watson said, "Yes, I was and I still am. Thank you for reminding me, Keisha. Next Thursday, I will tell you my story."(1) Why did Keisha take her English notebook along?A. Her mother asked her to take it.B.

You know the landmarks—a big red house or a bus-stop sign. But what if you were swimming in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean? Could you still find your way home? A loggerhead turtle（海龟）could.According to Dr. Ken Lohmann, loggerheads have a magnetic（磁力的）sense based on Earth's magnetic field. It helps them locate the best spots for finding food and their home beaches.Scientists already know that several other animals, such as whales and honeybees, can detect（探测到）magnetic fields. The difference between them and loggerheads, however, is the way they learn to use their magnetic sense. Young whales and honeybees can learn from adults. Loggerheads are abandoned as eggs.As newborn loggerheads have no adults to learn from, what helps them figure out how to use their magnetic sense? Lohmann thinks one of the cues was light on the sea.Baby loggerheads hatch only at night. However, a small amount of light reflects off the ocean. The light makes that region brighter. Heading toward the light helps them get quickly out to sea, where they can find food. Lohmann tested whether newborn loggerheads use this light source to set their magnetic "compasses" （罗盘）. He and his team put some newborns in a water tank and recorded which way they swam. Around the tank, the scientists created a magnetic field that matched the Earth's. They set a weak light to the east of the magnetic field. Then they let the newborns go.At first, the newborns swam toward the light. After the scientists turned off the light, the turtles that had seen the light in the east always swam toward east. When the researchers reversed（颠倒）the magnetic field, these turtles turned around and swam toward the new "east" .This and the follow-up experiments all showed that loggerheads use light from the outside world to set their magnetic "compasses" and then remember the "correct" direction.If a turtle hatches on a brightly-lit beach, that would damage its magnetic sense forever and make survival hard for the turtle.Lohmann's work has led others to protect the habitat of this endangered species. Yet many questions about these creatures remain unanswered, and researchers have a lot to study.(1) Loggerheads and whales differ in the way they.A. bring up their youngB. recognize landmarksC. detect magnetic fieldsD. learn to find directions(2) What is needed for newborn loggerheads to set their magnetic sense?A. Weak light reflected off the ocean.B. Help from adult loggerheads.C. Bright sunlight from the sky.D. Food in warmer waters.(3) In the experiment, after the newborns' magnetic sense was set, their moving direction was determined by.A. the lightB. the magnetic fieldC. other unknown factorsD. the light and the magnetic field(4) What is the significance of Lohmann's research work?A. It enables researchers to keep track of turtles.B. It contributes to the studies of the magnetic field.C. It offers a new solution to environmental pollution.D. It helps protect the loggerheads' living environment.(5) What could be the best title of the passage?A. Experiments on LoggerheadsB. The Survival of the Sea TurtleC.

Comparison of Loggerheads and Other Animals20、【来源】 2018年3月高考真题天津卷（D篇）第51~55题12.5分2019~2020学年3月天津河东区天津市第七中学高三下学期月考第66~70题12.5分Most people aren't good at creative problem solving for two reasons:（1）They are not trained in how to be creative.（2）They don't understand group strength well enough to harness（驾驭）their power to maximize group creativity.A key element of creativity is applying existing knowledge to a new problem. The more people getting involved in solving it, the more knowledge there is to work on it. Unfortunately, research showsthat the traditional brainstorming methods fail to achieve that goal. When groups get together to exchange ideas, they actually come up with fewer ideas overall than if they each had worked alone.To fix this problem, you should consider the two stages of group problem-solving: divergence（分散）and convergence（集中）. Divergence happens when the group considers as many different potential solutions as possible. Convergence happens when the various proposed solutions are evaluated and reduced to a smaller set of candidate solutions to the current problem.The essential principle of group creativity is that individuals working alone diverge, whereas group members working together converge. In groups, once a member states a potential solution, that makes others think about the problem similarly. That is why groups working together diverge less than individuals working alone.Therefore, be aware of when to diverge and when to converge. For example, early in the problem-solving process, have group members work alone to write down statements describing the problem. Then get them back to discuss their descriptions. The group discussion will lead everyone to accept one or a small number of these statements to work on—this is healthy convergence.When starting to generate solutions, you again want divergence. Have people work alone to start. Then collect people's initial ideas and send them around to others and allow the divergence to continue as everyone individually builds on the ideas of other members.Finally, let the group discuss the resulting ideas. This discussion will gradually lead the group to converge on a small number of candidate solutions.This simple method works effectively, because it respects what individuals and groups do best.(1) Research shows that the traditional brainstorming methods.A. actually limit group creativityB. greatly encourage group creativityC. enable people to form more ideas togetherD. prevent people's involvement in the problems(2) According to Para. 4, when a member presents an idea, others tend to.A. think the other way roundB. follow his way of thinkingC. be more confident in their own ideasD. be less willing to share their own ideas(3) What should group members first do early in the problem-solving process?A. Discuss the problem.B. Simplify the problem.C. Put down group statements together.D. Write down their individual descriptions.(4) How can each group member make changes to his initial solution?A. By adding in collected evidence.B. By reorganizing his own words.C. By drawing on others' ideas.D. By making his statement briefer.(5) What is the author's purpose in writing the passage?A. To advocate a way to make group thinking more effective.B. To demonstrate the difficulty in organizing group thinking.C. To highlight the differences between divergence and convergence.D. To show the advantage of group thinking over individual thinking.四、任务型阅读21、【来源】 2018年3月高考真题天津卷第56~60题10分For many teenagers, a job is a way to earn a little extra money. For me, it is more than that.At the age of 16, I was offered my very first job as a shopgirl in a clothing store. On the first day, my manager was training me how to fold and organize platform after platform of clothes. The work seemed overwhelming, and everything had to be done in an accurate way. I got so impatient because I couldn't get it right the first couple of times. After about ten tries, I had the clothes folded perfectly. Then it took me thirty minutes to get them all looking uniform. Now, I fold and organize clothes every day, and I'm able to do them well. Through this experience, I've learned to be patient.Helping customers and establishing connections with them is one of the things I love most about my job. About two months ago, I helped a woman who was looking for a dress. She told me exactly what she was picturing—a blue dress with long sleeves and a lace neck. We didn't have any such dress, and when I explained that to her, she wasn't very happy. Instead of getting annoyed, I tried getting to know her a bit better and asked what the dress was for, so I could find other items in her size that could work. We sharedour love of the Netflix fashion show, and she ended up buying $200 worth of new clothes, having found other items she liked. This experience has taught me to be more open with strangers.Every job has its share of frustrations and challenges; to do well you must learn to deal with them.I've learned this from my own experience, and it has helped me in other aspects of my life as well.(1) What was the author's first job?

For more than 40 years she made it morally necessary to know everything—to read every book worth reading, to see every movie worth seeing. When she was still in her early 30s, publishing essays in such important magazines as Partisan Review, she appeared as the symbol of American culture life, trying hard to follow every new development in literature, film and art. With great effort and serious judgment, Sontag walked at the latest edges of world culture.Seriousness was one of Sontag's lifelong mottos, but at a time when the barriers between the well-educated and the poorly-educated were obvious, she argued for a true openness to the pleasure of pop culture. In Notes Camp, the 1964 essay that first made her name, she explained what was then a little-known set of difficult understandings, through which she could not have been more famous. Notes on Camp, she wrote, represents "a victory of 'form' over 'content', 'beauty' over 'morals' ".By conviction（信念）she was a sensualist（感觉论者）, but by nature she was a moralist, and in the works she published in the 1970s and 1980s, it was the latter side of her that came forward. In Illness as Metaphor—published in 1978, after she suffered cancer—she argued against the idea that cancer was somehow a special problem of repressed（被压抑的）personalities, a concept that effectively blamed the victim for the disease. In fact, re-examining old positions was her lifelong habit.In America, her story of a 19th century Polish actress who set up a perfect society in California, won the National Book Award in 2000. But What made her achieve lasting fame was a tireless, all-purpose cultural view."Sometimes, " she once said, "I feel that, in the end, all I am really defending…is the idea of seriousness, of true seriousness." And in the end, she made us take it seriously too.(1) It is implied but not stated in the first paragraph that Sontag.A. was a symbol of American cultural lifeB. developed world literature, film and artsC. published many essays about world cultureD. kept pace with the newest development of world culture(2) She first won her name through.A. publishing essays in magazines like Partisan ReviewB. her story of a Polish actressC. her explanation of a set of difficult understandingsD. her book Illness as Metaphor(3) From the works Susan published in the 1970s and 1980s, we can learnthat.A. she was more a moralist than a sensualistB. she was more a sensualist than a moralistC. she believed repressed personalities mainly led to illnessD. she would like to re-examine old positions(4) According to the passage, Susan Sontag would agree to the ideas except.A. we should try hard to follow every new development in literature, film and artB.

Scientists have discovered how microbes can be used to turn carbon dioxide into soil-enriching limestone（石灰石）, with the help of a type of tree that grows in tropical areas, such as West Africa.Researchers have found that when the Iroko tree is grown in dry, acidic soil and treated with a combination of natural fungi（霉菌）and other bacteria, not only does the tree grow well, it also produces the mineral limestone in the soil around its root.The Iroko tree makes a mineral by combining Ca from the earth with$$\text{C}{{\text{O}}_{2}}$$ from the atmosphere. The bacteria then create the conditions under which this mineral turns into limestone. The discovery offers a new way to lock carbon into the soil, keeping it out of the atmosphere. In addition to storing carbon in the trees' leaves and in the form of limestone, the mineral in the soil makes it more suitable for agriculture.The discovery could lead to reforestation（重新造林）projects in tropical countries, and help reduce carbon dioxide in the atmosphere in the developing world. It has already been used in West Africa and is being tested in Bolivia, Haiti and India.The findings were made in a three-year project involving researchers from the Universities of Edinburgh, Granada, Lausanne and Delft University of Technology. The project examined several microbiological methods of locking $$\text{C}{{\text{O}}_{2}}$$ as limestone, and the lroko-bacteria way showed best results. Work was funded by the European Commission under the Future & Emerging Technologies （FET） scheme.Dr. Bryne Ngwenya of the Universiy of Edinburgh's School of GeoSciences, who led the research, said, "By taking advantage of this natural limestone-producing process, we have a low-tech, safe, readilyemployed and easily operating way to lock carbon out of the atmosphere, while improving farming conditions in tropical countries."(1) The passage is mainly introducing.A. some useful natural fungi and bacteriaB. a new way to deal with greenhouse gasC. a newly-found tree in West AfricaD. the soil-enriching limestone created by scientists(2) Which of the following is True about tiny microbes?A. Most tiny microbes like living in dry, acidic soil.B. $$\text{CO}_2$$ can be broken down by natural fungi and bacteria.C. The more greenhouse gas is, the more active tiny microbes become.D. Tiny microbes get along well with the Iroko tree in special soil.(3) What does the underlined word "it" in paragraph 3 probably refer to?A. Carbon dioxide.B. Carbon.C. Soil.D. Limestone.(4) According to the passage, what can we infer?A. The action of the tiny microbes can increase the oxygen in the earth.B. Researchers have done the experiment on trees in Africa for three years.C. Researchers tend to use natural power to solve their problem.D. West Africa is one of the most polluted areas all over the world.(5) According to the passage, the Iroko-bacteria method.A. can be used to improve the farming landB. can save a lot of seriously destroyed woodsC. has been popularized in Bolivia, Haiti and IndiaD. should be spread all around the world in the future20、【来源】 2019年天津高三二模十二校联考（D篇）第51~55题12.5分For as long as there have been gifts, we naturally make choice based on the recipient（接受者）. But what if we have been wrong all along and that we could turn things around, which not only made gift buying easier, but the recipient happier?In 2015, psychologists Lauren Human and Lara Akain conducted an online survey, which suggested that when people buy gifts, they prefer to choose something based on the recipient's personality and tastes. Most people also said that they preferred receiving gifts bought with them in mind: gifts for them.But Human and Akain wondered if this approach to giving failed to take advantage of the way we connect as people. So they sent 78 volunteers into a shopping centre before Mother's Day. Half were told to buy a card that "reveals（揭示）your knowledge of the recipient" while the others set out to buy a card that "reveals your true self". After the purchase, the gives who had thought partly of themselves reported feeling emotionally closer to their mothers.To find out how that approach goes down with recipients, the psychologists did another test, asking more than 100 students to choose a song on Tunes to give to a friend, partner or family member. Each half of the group received the same instructions as the card buyers. Results revealed that recipients of songs that revealed something of the givers felt closer to TAL#NBSP them than those who received gifts bought only with them in mind.Human and Aknin suggest it might apply to all gifts. "If building stronger social connections is the underlying（潜在的）goal"of a gift and surely it should be—then we "may well be advised to offer more self-reflective gifts". In short, for a present to be meaningful, you need to give away a bit of yourself, even if there is risk that the gift might not so closely suit the recipient's practical needs or tastes as one acquired purely with that in mind.Moreover, giving something of oneself can be a safe act, the psychologists added. Because it reduced the risk of revealing poor knowledge of a recipient by attempting to buy something that fits their character—and failing.But a note of caution here: what the research does not examine is the potential risk in repeated, unsympathetic give-centered giving, which, according to Human and Aknin "could signal self-obsession" —and nobody wants to reveal that about themselves.(1) From the Mother's Day card test, we can conclude that.A. gifts chosen with the give in mind work well on the giverB. most people choose gifts with the recipient in mindC. most people choose gifts based on their personal tastesD. gifts chosen with the give in mind work well on the recipient(2) What do the underlined words "them, them" refer to in older of appearance?A. The recipients; the givers.B. The givers; the recipients.C. The gives; the givers.D. The recipients; the recipients.(3) What does the author think is the significance of gift giving?A. Making the giver's life happier.B. Showing one's knowledge of the recipient.C. Establishing and strengthening social connections.D. meeting the recipient's practical needs.(4) Which of the following is Human and Aknin's advice on gift giving?A. Choose gifts that reflect more of yourself.B. Just focus on your own tastes when choosing gifts.C. Buy something that fits the recipient's character most.D. Be careful not to signal your true personality.(5) Which is the best title of this passage?A. The tradition of gift giving.B. The purpose of gift giving.C. The effect of gift giving.D.

But beyond the minimum requirements as social beings, they have little instinct（本能）to help one another. Chimps in the wild seek food for themselves. Even chimp mothers regularly decline to share food with their children, who are able from a young age to gather their own food.In the laboratory, chimps don't naturally share food either. If a chimp is put in a cage where he can pull in one plate of food for himself or, with no great effort, a plate that also provides food for a neighbor to the next cage, he will pull at random—he just doesn't care whether his neighbor gets fed or not. Chimps are truly selfish.Human children, on the other hand are extremely corporative. From the earliest ages, they decide to help others, to share information and to participate in achieving common goals. The psychologist Michael Tomasello has studied this cooperativeness in a series of experiments with very young children. He finds that if babies aged 18 months see a worried adult with hands full trying to open a door, almost all will immediately try to help.There are several reasons to believe that the urges to help, inform and share are not taught, but naturally possessed in young children. One is that these instincts appear at a very young age before most parents have started to train children to behave socially. Another is that the helping behaviors are not improved if the children are rewarded. A third reason is that social intelligence develops in children before their general cognitive（认知的）skills, at least when compared with chimps. In tests conducted by Tomasello, children did no better than the chimps on the physical world tests, but were considerably better at understanding the social world.The core of what children's minds have and chimps' don't is what Tomasello calls shared intentionality. Part of this ability is that they can infer what others know or are thinking. But beyond that, even very young children want to be part of a shared purpose. They actively seek to be part of a "we", a group that intends to work toward a shared goal.(1) What can we learn from the experiment with chimps?A. Chimps seldom care about others' interests.B. Chimps tend to provide food for their children.C. Chimps like to take in their neighbors' food.D. Chimps naturally share food with each other.(2) Michael Tomasello's tests on young children indicate that they.A. have the instinct to help othersB. know how to offer help to adultsC. know the world better than chimpsD. trust adults with their hands full(3) The passage is mainly about.A. the helping behaviors of young childrenB. ways to train children's shared intentionalityC. cooperation as a distinctive human natureD. the development of intelligence in children19、【来源】 2016年高考真题江苏卷（C篇）第61~64题8分2017~2018学年上海闵行区上海市七宝中学高二上学期期中第46~49题El Nino, a Spanish term for "the Christ child", was named by South American fisherman who noticed that the global weather pattern, which happens every two to seven years, reduced the amount of fishes caught around Christmas. El Nino sees warm water, collected over several years in the western Pacific, flow back eastwards when winds that normally blow westwards weaken, or sometimes the other way round.The weather effects both good and bad, are felt in many places. Rich countries gain more from powerful Nino, on balance, than they lose. A study found that a strong Nino in 1997 helped American's economy grow by 15 billion, partly because of better agricultural harvest, farmers in the Midwest gained from extra rain. The total rise in agricultural in rich countries in growth than the fall in poor ones.But in Indonesia extremely dry forests are in flames. A multi-year drought（干旱）in south-east Brazil is becoming worse. Though heavy rains brought about by El Nino may relieve the drought in California, they are likely to cause surface flooding and other disasters.The most recent powerful Nino, in 1997-98, killed around 21, 000 people and caused damage worth ＄36 billion around the globe. But such Ninos come with months of warning, and so much is known about how they happen that governments can prepare. According to the Overseas Development Institute（ODI）, however, just 12% of disaster-relief funding in the past two decades has gone on reducing risks in advance, rather than recovery and rebuilding afterwards. This is despite evidence that a dollar spent on risk-reduction saves at least two on reconstruction.Simple improvements to infrastructure（基础设施）can reduce the spread of disease. Better sewers （下水道）make it less likely that heavy rain is followed by an outbreak of the disease of bad stomach.Stronger bridges mean villages are less likely to be left without food and medicine after floods. According to a paper in 2011 by Mr Hsiang and co-authors, civil conflict is related to El Nino's harmful effects—and the poorer the country, the stronger the link. Though the relationship may not be causal, helping divided communities to prepare for disasters would at least reduce the risk that those disasters are followed by killing and wounding people. Since the poorest are least likely to make up for their losses from disasters linked to El Nino, reducing their losses needs to be the priority.(1) What can we learn about El Nino in Paragraph 1?A. It is named after a South American fisherman.B. It takes place almost every year all over the world.C. It forces fishermen to stop catching fish around Christmas.D. It sees the changes of water flow direction in the ocean.(2) What may El Ninos bring about to the countries affected?A. Agricultural harvests in rich countries fall.B. Droughts become more harmful than floods.C. Rich countries' gains are greater than their losses.D. Poor countries suffer less from droughts economically.(3) The data provided by ODI in Paragraph 4 suggest that.A. more investment should go to risk reductionB. governments of poor countries need more aidC. victims of El Nino deserve more compensationD. recovery and reconstruction should come first(4) What is the author's purpose in writing the passage?A. To introduce El Nino and its origin.B. To explain the consequences of El Nino.C. To show ways of fighting against El Nino.D. To urge people to prepare for El Nino.20、【来源】 2016年高考真题江苏卷（D篇）第65~70题12分2018~2019学年3月广东深圳福田区福田区高级中学高一下学期月考（A篇）第21~26题6分Not so long ago, most people didn't know who Shelly Ann Francis Pryce was going to become. She was just an average high school athlete. There was every indication that she was just another American teenager without much of a future. However, one person wants to change this. Stephen Francis observed then eighteen-year-old Shelly Ann as a track meet and was convinced that he had seen the beginning of true greatness. Her time was not exactly impressive, but even so, he seemed there was something trying to get out, something the other coaches had overlooked when they had assessed her and found her lacking. He decided to offer Shelly Ann a place in his very strict training seasons. Their cooperation quickly produced results, and a few years later at Jamaica's Olympic games in early 2008, Shelly Ann, who at that time only ranked number 70 in the world, beat Jamaica's unchallenged queen of the sprint（短跑）."Where did she come from? "asked an astonished sprinting world, before concluding that she must be one of those one-hit wonders that spring up from time to time, only to disappear again without signs. But Shelly Ann was to prove that she was anything but a one-hit wonder. At the Beijing Olympic she swept away any doubts about her ability to perform consistently by becoming the first Jamaican woman ever to win the 100 meters Olympic gold. She did it again one year on at the World Championship in Briton, becoming world champion with a time of 10.73—the fourth record ever.Shelly-Ann is a little woman with a big smile. She has a mental toughness that did not come about by chance. Her journey to becoming the fastest woman on earth has been anything but smooth and effortless. She grew up in one of Jamaica's toughest inner-city communities known as Waterhouse, where she lived in a one-room apartment, sleeping four in a bed with her mother and two brothers. Waterhouse, one of the poorest communities in Jamaica, is a really violent and overpopulated place. Several of Shelly-Ann's friends and family were caught up in the killings; one of her cousins was shot dead only a few streets away from where she lived. Sometimes her family didn't have enough to eat. She ran at the school championships barefooted because she couldn't afford shoes. Her mother Maxime, one of a family of fourteen, had been an athlete herself as a young girl but, like so many other girls in Waterhouse, had to stop after she had her first baby. Maxime's early entry into the adult world with its responsibilities gave her the determination to ensure that her kids would not end up in Waterhouse's roundabout of poverty. One of the first things Maxime used to do with Shelly-Ann was taking her to the track, and she was ready to sacrifice everything.It didn't take long for Shelly-Ann to realize that sports could be her way out of Waterhouse. On a summer evening in Beijing in 2008, all those long, hard hours of work and commitment finally bore fruit. The barefoot kid who just a few years previously had been living in poverty, surrounded by criminals and violence, had written a new chapter in the history of sports.But Shelly-Ann's victory was far greater than that. The night she won Olympic gold in Beijing, the routine murders in Waterhouse and the drug wars in the neighbouring streets stopped.

Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage?A. Contact information.B. Accommodation.C. Tuition.D. Courses and activities.BSchool days are supposed to be the best days of your life and part of that experience usually involves some unforgettable physical activities. I asked some people to give me their memories of what happened to them on the sports field and beyond, and this is what they told me.Cup winne r sWhen I was about ten, the football team from our year unexplainably made it to the cup final of the local schools’ league. I say unexplainably because Ionly remember us losing nearly every match we played. Anyway, in the final Iset up the winning goal, a brilliant cross to my mate David who headed theball in just before the final whistle. I still have a photograph of the team holding the cup.Forest hik eI remember having to lead a group of eight boys on a school expedition for the best part of two days when I was a teenager. Even though we got lost at one point, I managed to keep them all together and get them from one end of a large forest to the other and back by sheer（纯粹的）force of will. I was chosen tobe the leader, I think, because I was the only one who knew how to read a map! When we arrived back at the campsite, we found out that all the other groupshad cheated and hitched（搭便车）most of the way instead… I felt a bit stupid, butalso rather proud of myself at the same time for having done it properly.Learning to swim, learning to d r ownI learned to swim comparatively late, I suppose. I was maybe nine years old but my brother had a painful experience which nearly put him off for life. We lived in the USA for a while and had access to a university pool where the coaches had trained the American Olympic team. In those days, though, their idea of teaching kids how to swim was to tie a can to their ankles with a bit of string, throw them in the deep end and shou t “S wim!”. I am surprised mybrother survived at all. He could only have been about six at the time.64. The passage mainly talks about .A. tips on taking part in outdooractivities B. how people considerphysical activities C. why people loveoutdoor activitiesD. people’s experiences of physicalactivities65. What did the first person do in the school’s cup final?A. He scored the winning goal.B. He provided the pass for the finalgoal.C. He blew the whistle at eh end of the game.D. He lost every game in the season.66. The underlined word “expedition” in the third paragraph has the same meaning t o “”.A. matchB. dealC. tripD. research67. It can be learned that when the third person was young, .A. he learned swimming from the same coach as his elder brotherB. the swimming coach’s teaching method was rather inconsiderateC. his family lived near a university pool for about ten yearsD. the American Olympic team had no swimming pool of its ownCOne side effect of globalization and the related phenomenon of greatly increased mobility is that the traditional definition of “foreigner” has passed its sell-by date.Is a European who has lived in China longer than in his home country, becoming fluent in the language and culture in the process, still a foreigner in China, or has he become more of a foreigner in his own home town? What about a Beijinger who did her schooling in Canada and then lived and worked in mainstream society there for another 20 years while raising a family, who has no intention of returning to China? Does she think and act like a foreigner? What do we mean by this label(标签)?When I grew up in the suburbs of Chicago, the faces you would see during a walk through a local shopping mall back in the 1960s and 1970s included almost none of Asian descent. Today the same malls are full of Asian faces, and a glanceat the ranks of top scoring students in local schools reveals lots of Asian surnames.To some extent, this is no great surprise in the American context, because America is a land of immigrants, and a cultural melting pot. Apart from the native American Indians, Americans are (or were), in some way, all foreigners anyway.Absorbing a large number of immigrants is an established pattern in American history.In most places, the traditional foreigners were people who didn’t speak or read the local languages well, were unfamiliar with local customs andlifestyles, often engaged in relatively third-class work, and certainly notthe type of people you would want your sons or daughters to marry. But, nowadays, a foreignerdown the street may have better SAT scores than you did, or higher degree from a better university. He might also be your son’s or daughter’s next employer.The traditional role models are getting mixed up, and it looks like this is just the beginning of a new chapter. Today, the whole thing has totally changed. It’s not about where people are from or what color their skins are. It’s about who they are, what values and skills they bring, and how they think.68. By mentioning a European and a Beijinger, the author tends to tell us .A. it’s no longer proper to define foreigners according to theirbirthplacesB. the label of foreigners can never be removedC. most foreigners can do well in learning languagesD. i t’s impossible for a foreigner to get recognition abroad69. What can be inferred from the 3rd paragraph?A. In 1960s and 1970s, Asians didn’t shop in Chicago.B. Today, more and more Asian travelers like to shop in Chicago.C. There are more Asian immigrants today than in the 1960s and 1970s in Chicago.D. Most Asian students do well academically in the schools in Chicago.70. The underlined part in paragraph 1 has the closest meaning to_ .A. the term “foreigner” s hould be redefinedB. the term “foreigner” s hould no longer be usedC. there are no more foreigners in the world todayD. the term “foreigner” is not proper to define people71. What’s the main idea of the passage?A. Globalization and mobility caused more and more immigrants.B. The standards of defining “foreigner” have thoroughly changed.C. America is a cultural melting pot.D. Immigration is a global social phenomenon.DIn the kitchen of my mother’s houses there has always been a wooden stand （木架）with a small notepad（记事本）and a hole for a pencil.I’m looking for paper on which to note down the name of a book I am recommending to my mother. Over forty years since my earliest memories of the kitchen pad and pencil, five houses later, the current paper and pencil lookthe same as they always did. Surely it can’t be the same pencil. The pad is more modern, but the wooden stand is definitely the original one.“I’m just amazed you still have the same stand for holding the pad and pencil after all these year.” I say to her, walking back into the living-room with a sheet of paper and the pencil. “You still use a pencil. Can’t youafford a pen?”My mother replies a little sharply. “It works perfectly well. I’vealways kept the stand in the kitchen. I never knew when I might want to note down an idea, and I was always in the kitchen in those day s.”Immediately I can picture her, hair wild, blue housecoat covered in flour, a wooden spoon in one hand, the pencil in the other, her mouth moving silently. My mother smiles and says, “O ne day I was cooking and watching baby Pauline, andI had a brilliant thought, but the stand was empty. One of the children must have taken the paper. So I just picked up the breadboard and wrote it all down on the back. It turned out to be a real breakthrough for solving the mathematical problem I was working on.”This story—which happened before I was born—reminds me how extraordinary my mother was, and is, as a gifted mathematician. I feel embarrassed that I complain about not having enough child-free time to work. Later, when my mother is in the bathroom, I go into her kitchen and turn over thebreadboards. Sure enough, on the back of the smallest one, are some penciled marks I recognize as mathematics. Those symbols have traveled unaffected through fifty years, rooted in the soil of a cheap wooden breadboard, invisible（看丌到的）exhibits at every meal.72. Why has the author’s m other always kept the notepad and pencil in the kitchen?A. To leave messages.B. To list her everyday tasks.C. To note down maths problems.D. To write down a flash of inspiration.73. What is the author’s original opinion about the wooden stand?A. It has great value for the family.B. It needs to be replaced bya better one.C. It brings her back to her lonely childhood.D. It should be passedon to the next generation.74. The author feels embarrassed for .A. blaming her mother wronglyB. giving her mother a lot of troubleC. not making good use of time as her mother didD. not making any breakthrough in her field75. In the author’s m ind, her mother is .A. strange in behaviorB. keen on her researchC. fond of collecting old thingsD. careless about her appearance天津一中 2018-2019-2 高一年级英语学科模块质量调查试卷第二卷V. 单词拼写（共 10 小题；每小题 1 分，满分 10 分）76.

Not easy to just go from eating a certain way all your lifeto switching over to being healthier… With the urban garden here, with my son learning, he can help me switch around my style of eating. I want a healthy family.”Margaret says the urban garden is an agent for change and the young people are its newest supporters. “Our program is about planting seeds. It’s about planting seeds not just in the ground, but in other human beings so that the movement can grow and i t’s really exciting because these young people will be working with us throughout the year to help plan the actual farm and to finally own it.”86.
